Massage for the listeners,
Die Februar- Sendung von MV Baltic Radio muss leider ausfallen. Die
schweren St?rme der letzten Woche machen dringende Wartungsarbeiten am
Antennensystem erforderlich.
Die Sendungen unserer Medienpartner (Hamburger Lokalradio und Radio
Gloria International) werden wie geplannt abgestrahlt.
The February transmission of MV Baltic Radio must be cancelled. The
heavy storms over the last week require urgent maintenance on the aerial
system.
The transmissions forour media partner (Hamburger Lokalradio and Radio
Gloria International) will be broadcast in the normal time slot.
-----------------
Many thanks and have a good weekend.
73s, Roland

Important
_________
**From April 1 2013, the operational costs will be frozen at $412 a
week for the next 5 years
**these are genuine costs just to keep the project running, such as
power, space, storage, PC and office equipment and repairs, insurance
charges, stationery, postage and other consumables, collection of
radio ephemera, protection of radio materials etc - these are the
bills we simply have to pay other people just for existing
**all time is donated free of charge by a growing number of people
all over the world
**the target is to find commercial partners willing to cover 65% of
these costs
**the reality is that this is difficult, but we're doing what we can
to make the project interesting to possible sponsors and advertisers
**we want to reduce the call on donors to just 35% of the operating
costs in the future
**we believe it is important that people can access the website and
enjoy hundreds of features, the radio guide services and much more at
no cost
**this co-operative approach is the best way to keep radio memories
alive and if you agree, please help us continue
**operational for almost 10 years with costs met by mortgaging the
home of several board members who receive no income and can no longer
carry the full burden of these expenses

** CHINA. Firedrake Feb 2:
9315, very poor at 1426, against VOA Tibetan via Thailand this hour only. Not
noticed anywhere else, to hunting for FD in our mornings has been so
unproductive for months in the 12-18 MHz range that I hardly bother anymore
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 6125, Feb 2 at 0612, RHC English undermodulated as usual but yet
another anomaly: IADs make a pop, after which the modulation level briefly
increases before settling back down. I also compare to // 6165: there
modulation is OK and sounds louder, but on the FRG-7 S-meter, 6165 is much
weaker than usual, registering *only* S9+15 while 6125 is S9+22!
As per Steve Luce tip last night, I also check for second harmonix in the 12
MHz band --- yes, there is 12330, 2 x 6165, audible but very poor, nothing
heard on others which would be 12020, 12120, 12250. All six English frequencies
are synchronized, so if there is a substitute transmitter on 6165/12330, it`s
still at the same site: 5040, 6010, 6060, 6125, 6165, 12330 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 660, Feb 2 at 0659 UT, a partial ID mentioning 98.9, then romantic
music. http://www.mexicoradiotv.com is handy for listing FM //s and the only
one shown on 660 is:
660 XEACB La Lupe + FM 98.9 Cd. Delicias, Chih. 3,000 1,000
as I have heard before. Ditto the IRCA Mexican Log. However, not 100% positive,
since more and more FM simulcasts are being added, as Mexican AM stations are
being pushed to FM and it`s possible there could be two matching FM //s on any
AM frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 3185, Feb 2 at 1428, Brother Scare is still audible
here from WWRB with music at the moment, which explains why he`s still missing
from day frequency 9370, where a weak else is audible, presumably VOA Deewa
Radio from Sri Lanka, which WWRB is allowed to blot out in our mornings (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9615, Sat Feb 2 at 0618, tune-in to one of WHRI`s weekend-only
transmissions, gospel huxter amid schedule announcement mentioning his other
times and frequencies: 11.910; ``Sunday 1:00 CST on 9.840 M-H-Z``; gives
website without any dots: ``wwwwhrorg click Angel 2``. Name of his show I copy
as ``The End the Law Jesus Christ Broadcast``, with a P O Box in Shreveport LA;
he is Apostle Larry Reed. Sounds like ALR is reading off stuff he doesn`t
really understand, like shortwave and internet; also has very strange accent,
pronouncing ``Americar`` and ``Africar``, with the R totally spoken, but he is
no Kennedy.
Searching WHR programming, we find:
0615-0700 1:15 AM-2:00 AM Sa In The Lord Jesus Christ Larry Reed 9.615
1900-1945 2:00 PM-2:45 PM Su In The Lord Jesus Christ Broadcast 9.840
and no 11.910. Guess he is saying ``Lawd`` instead of ``Lord``. During the few
minutes I listen transfixed, signal declines from good to fair (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 880, Sat Feb 2 at 1314 UT, KLRG originating an Arkansas show,
`Bluegrass with Leo Castleberry`, starts with Hank Williams` ``Lovesick
Blues``; 1325 local ads sound ad-libbed, real down-home style. WTAN network
website for KLRG shows this is 7-9 am Saturdays:
http://klrg.tantalknetwork.com/index.cfm?PID=2
Also shows the Friday morning shows I have heard previously as: `We the People
Radio` at 6-8 am, `Liberty Underground` at 8-10 am from the ``1787 Radio
Network``, pre-empting `Imus in the Morning` to only one hour; otherwise he`s
Mon-Thu 5-9 am, all CST. Separate schedules are available for WTAN itself, with
some duplication, such as 1787 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1680, Feb 2 at 1307 UT, KRJO Monroe LA on Bloomberg Business Radio
net, interesting interview with authoress of an article about some new
wifi-blocking wallpaper (yes, stuff you axually paste on walls of physical
rooms, i.e. subdivisions of houses or offices), but lets FM and ``emergency``
signals thru unscathed, per new patent. This is accomplished by using
conductive ink in snowflake patterns on non-conductive paper; costs $12 per
square yard [sic], affordable(?). Depending on how deployed, it can restrict
your own wifi to certain room(s), or keep out wifi from beyond.
I assume it supposedly filters signals only in the 2.4 GHz wifi-band. But are
we sure it won`t affect SW reception or any other frequencies?? Who cares about
that? I then searched Bloomberg and found the related article:
http://www.businessweek.com/articles/2013-01-31/guy-eymin-petot-tourtollets-wi-fi-blocking-wallpaper
It`s called MetaPaper, invented by a Frenchman and to be produced in Finland.
It seems it never occurred to them to avoid the problem in the first place by
using wired internet connexions only; works for me (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 2670-USB, Feb 2 at 1243 UT after checking 2660 AM harmonic, notice
some weak SSB on the prime USCG frequency, very poor and hard to copy, but make
out some words such as Victoria Channel, Arroyo Colorado, Port of Brownsville,
interspersed with mentions of numerous 150+ MHz VHF channels. Nothing heard at
1249 recheck.
2670 is shared by numerous USCG stations on a tight schedule, included in this
exhaustive worldwide listing:
http://www.hfunderground.com/wiki/Maritime_Weather_Transmissions
and what I heard fits for the one scheduled from 1240 UT:
``1240 Corpus Christi, TX (NOY-8) 2670 kHz Local Notice to Mariners and
weather``
It`s preceded at 1235 by NMG/NMG-2 New Orleans, and succeeded at 1250 by NOY in
Galveston (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 2240, Feb 2 at 1229 UT I awaken a bit too late as the harmonic
here has probably already peaked; lively vocal music, 1240 still but weakening,
fading to a JBA carrier by 1249.
2250, Feb 2 at 1236 UT, this probable 3 x 750 harmonic never exceeds a JBA
carrier this morning. It would be nice if some other DXers in this part of the
continent would look for these, especially if they have a better S/N ratio on 2
MHz. Of course also due to relative proximity, others may have a better shot at
some of them (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 2660, Feb 2 at 0628 UT, algo with music, as earlier in the
evening, suspected something other than the KGLD harmonic as heard before
sunrise. Recheck 1229 again something. Remonitoring from before 1300 past
hourtop, no increase in signal noted today at Tyler sunrise, continues JBA
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BOLIVIA. 4717, Feb 3 at 0056, JBA carrier at first, but a bit more here than
on Peru`s 4747, 4835, etc. A poor Andean evening. But at 0111, 4717 has
improved with some music audible from R. Yatun Ayllu Yura, Yura.
6134.8, Feb 3 at 0105, no signal from R. Santa Cruz, off early? Normally
propagates much better than the 60m signals, which were weakened tonight (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BULGARIA. 9450, UT Sunday Feb 3 at 0051 check, Mighty KBC`s weekly broadcast
has good signal, just far enough from the circa 9454 Guiana French spurblob
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** EAST TURKISTAN [and non]. 9420, Feb 3 at 0114, Voice of Greece has very
strong CCI also causing a SAH, at least equal level from CRI English, // 9570
relay; 0115 ``News and reports from CRI``; also on // 9410 much weaker CRI but
in the clear with no BBC or Turkey during this hour. Both are via Kashgar, says
HFCC, with 9420 100 kW at 174 degrees, which you would think would be weaker
than 9410, 500 kW, 308 degrees (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PERU. 5980, Feb 3 at 0058, yet another try at R. Chaski: mixture of Chinese
jammer atop weak music; 0100 timesignal and China off, then music is JBA, too
poor to copy anything but again I retune with BFO before 0105 to time when they
cut the carrier: 0105:11*, another few sex later than the night before (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also BOLIVIA
** U S A. 2660, Feb 3 at 0106 UT, black gospel music in surprisingly well, same
format as heard on KGLD around sunrise. Is in cycle of slow fades up and out;
another peak at 0109; 0110 segu? to another tune. 0119 another fade-in, and I
am not hearing a second carrier tonight.
Make a point of rechecking before hourtop, 0158 now the music is accompanied by
talking, and at hourtop bare-bones legal ID caught for the first time on 2660!
``KGLD, 1330 AM, Tyler``, same as I had heard on a previous webcast check. So
now this Texan second harmonic is 100% sure. ID overrode the music program for
a few seconds, then that continued. Also at 0158 I noticed some weak CW QRM to
this for the first time, on the low side. See my previous reports about KGLD
power authorizations: supposed to be 77 watts at night on 1330, altho also with
a PSSA of 36 watts until 0200, but the full day power available is 1000 watts
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9305.1-CUSB, Feb 3 at 0052, spur from WBCQ 9330v-CUSB; quite
readable; but unheard at 0117 recheck, or anywhere in the vicinity. Maybe the
fundamental had faded below threshold for spurring, tho still sufficient on
9330. Remember that Jan 27 at 1316 I had a spur from this on 9313. In neither
case could a matching one on the hi side be found (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 5050, Feb 3 at 0057, and still at 0458, WWRB is back on this channel,
having been missing for several nights, including UT Friday during WORLD OF
RADIO, just 3195 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1654 monitoring: confirmed on WTWW-1, 5830, UT Sunday
Feb 3 at 0500. This time, instead of starting WOR early and then interrupting
for the local ID. SFAW programming continued until 0500 sharp, then ID, but
then joining WOR already in progress at 0500:17 or so. Well, that`s some
improvement. Next: Sunday 0900, 1600, Monday 0530, Tuesday 1200 on WRMI 9955,
Wednesday 0630 & 1630 on Hamburger Lokalradio 7265-CUSB (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 5085, Feb 3 at 0057 check, WTWW-2 is still missing, no Saturday night
show from Ted Randall et al. (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 3325, Feb 3 at 0102, surprised to hear weak signal in English:
not sure whether this one is a transmitted mixing product or a receiver image
on the DX-398, but no match on 3185, 3195, 3215 or 5830 at least (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
