I figure the reactivated NBC outlet here has finished with its day frequency at 7 pm local, and is moving to night frequency 3325, which I do not expect to propagate this early, and do not hear; and besides it`s way past my bedtime. This was certainly not on 6020.7 where Karel Honzik recently reported it by long path to Czechia around this same time of day; maybe initially they did not have the frequency accurately tuned up. Yet I`m awake again at 1248, to find an S9 signal with music on 3325, maybe a second carrier? Not sure. But I decide this is INDONESIA, q.v. 6020, Feb 4 at 1315 I finally check NBC`s day frequency, and there it is, after midnight local time! With Indonesia on 3325, and only two frequencies available, it makes sense to stay/resume on 6020, altho designed for day propagation only. This is S9, and no sign of Vietnamese from Vietnam, or anything else on 6020. I hear some English words, constitution, people of Solomons, so in suspected Tok Pisin; lo-key studio announcer is interviewing various people on phone, with brief instrumental music interludes between, and abruptly faded out when someone else is ready to speak. 1320 seems to mention numbers, phone? 1323 music (different music on 3325 with Indonesia); 1324 back to tok in Pisin; 1326 music; 1330 phone talk; 1333 hear feminine voice on phone for first time; 1335 music and running-water ute QRM; 1356 woman singing, music past 1400, song maybe mentions ``my country``, anthem? 1401 definite ID by YL as ``NBC National Radio``, back to more music with autotune. At 1402, 6020 is S9+20; 1405 mentions Papua New Guinea, another song; 1410 NBC promo, mostly music. 1415, half a sesquihour after sunrise here, beginning to fade down, to only S9 by 1420; JBA carrier by 1443. If they are still testing the new 10 kW transmitter, can`t be sure which frequency if either will be on air at any particular time the next days. I wonder what kind of antenna, not NVIS? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** COLOMBIA. 5910.05, Feb 4 at 0547, tropical music at S9+15, so Alcarav?n Radio is back on its usual + offset; no QRM now. BTW, the Tennesseans on 5830, 5890, 5935 are much weaker, S7 very poor, not always the case. I had thought HJDH inactive, as I have not been hearing it after ~0630 when I usually start bedtime monitoring. Maybe they sign off circa 0600 now? Also check for sibling on 6010, finding only a JBA carrier, maybe something other than Conciencia. I don`t check again until 0744 when 5910 is definitely off. I see in WRTH 2016 schedule as 23-10 UT for both 6010 and 5910, but 5910 has a single dagger by it, unexplained, unlike the double dagger meaning inactive next to the only other Colombian SW listed, HJOY, LV del Guaviare, 2000-0300 with 5 kW on 6035 --- which has been gone for years, so is there some reason to expect it back? The April 2015 Domestic Broadcasting Survey from DSWCI has it on the ever-expanding roster of deleted stations, as not heard since May 2011 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** EQUATORIAL GUINEA. 5004.99, Feb 4 at 0520, very poor signal combating storm noise far from our area, with music, presumed R. Bata. I`m checking during this hour encouraged by Ron Howard re-hearing it in further California. By 0543 it`s up to S7 with talk, can`t tell if Spanish; 0556 still JBA. Very slightly on the lo side (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** GREECE. 9934.945 approx., Feb 3 at 0652, defective ERT Avlis transmitter is back on, just barely modulated music with whine, S5-S8 about equal signal level to OK // 9420 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** GUATEMALA. 4055, Feb 4 at 0528, R. Truth has preacher in English as usual during the final hour of the broadcast day, and still no sign of any clone signals around it. Ditto Feb 4 at 1250, one S7-9 station in Spanish, very poor S6 by 1310. On Feb 3 got this from Dr. Madrid: ``Dear Glenn Houser and V?ctor Guti?rrez: Our test transmissions for Radio Verdad are on the same frequency 4055 kHz. However, in some countries the frequency may vary a Little (one or two points). If a country is close to Guatemala, the frequency may vary a little bit, in order not to bother our master signal. We are not using any transmitters, but only computers, which inject the signal into many short wave antennas. They are attempting to maintain the same frequency 4055, as far as it is possible. It is a completely new technology on trial. A group of European, US and one Mexican Engineers are working on it. It is a scientific experiment in order to rescue short wave. I myself do not fully comprehend the system. The whole transmission system is being controlled by satellite, and also the power injected into all short wave antennas in the whole world. I have paid different amounts of money for the United States, Canada, Europe, Africa, Russia, China, Japan, Mexico, South America and the Caribbean Islas. I hope everything comes out all right, as it is a scientific experiment. The schedule is the same as regular Radio Verdad, beginning by 1000 UT up to 0605 UT. This set of tests will last only this weeks. This week transmissions are being sent from Guatemala City, but, depending on the results, we?ll start permanent transmissions from Chiquimula. I will appreciate any reports about the quality and strength of the signal. May God be with you, Dr. ?dgar Am?lcar Madrid, Radio Verdad & Radio Verdad TV`` Can anyone explain how this could possibly work? If I were he, before handing over any money, would insist/demand that the purveyors explain exactly how this is supposed to be accomplished. It makes no sense to me, and I am almost certain this is a scam and a fraud, and have told Dr Madrid so. If anyone is so inclined, a thorough search for 4055v signals on SDRs around the world might disprove this, or prove, if R. Verdad is heard at a time of day when it could not possibly propagate from Guatemala. So far he says he has got good reports from Panam? and Indonesia, no details (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1811, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** INDONESIA. 3325, Feb 3 at 1400, barely make out a Radio Republik Indonesia ID vs hash on the channel probably local device QRM. So Palangkaraya instead of Bougainville. Palangkaraya is inland south-central Borneo (Kalimantan). The two are 4222 km apart, or 2623 miles, so perhaps to them it seems like they can share a frequency. 3325, Feb 4 at 1248, S9 signal with music, so now is it Bougainville or Palangkaraya? 1300 soft announcement, 1302.5 announcement with music and hard-sell ads(?), think language is Indonesian, 1307 music. (At 1315 I start monitoring 6020 and find Bougainville, q.v. is still there on its `day` frequency at local midnight). At 1324, 3325 is playing different music than 6020; at 1356, 3325 has become much weaker, naturally fading down earlier than 6 MHz (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** KOREA NORTH [non]. 7400, Feb 4 at 1327, Sea Breeze still here, with usual YL, seemingly in English as on Thursdays, heavy ACI from 7405 Radio Mart? and Cuban jamming. Seems like there is also some CCI underneath 7400, which would be CRI Burmese via Kunming. 1356 before closing, some more Shiokaze-style talk and music (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** KOREA SOUTH. 15575, Feb 4 at 1449, VP signal S5-7 with flutter, presumed KBS WR in Korean --- first sign of this all winter, the so-called North American service at 14-15, which KBS insists on keeping to the 15 MHz band which won`t propagate thru the winter nights. It`ll be longer before the previous hour 13-14 in English also starts to show, both to continue in A-16 when they will finally work much of the time (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** OKLAHOMA. RF 40, Feb 3, I notice that KAUT ``43``, OKC, has added another subchannel to 43-2 THISTV: on 43-3 is ESCAPE, a network I had never heard of. Logo bug in lower right has the P raised so the top part of it is missing/escaPing. KAUT itself is a substation of KFOR, http://kfor.com/category/freedom-43/ and guess what, searching here on ESCAPE gets no significant hits. This is so unimportant to KFOR/KAUT that they don`t even acknowledge it on website. If you can find it on the http://kfor.com/on-air/program-schedule/ page, there is a program schedule for KAUT-DT2 never calling it what it is, THISTV, but nothing for a KAUT-DT3. I found it on an STB, but my Sanyo DTV set doesn`t want to recognize anything on 40 unless I rescan searching for all OTA DTV signals again --- which means I might lose some of the others it captured last time. The ESCAPE movie network does exist already in many other markets, but first time seen around here: http://www.escapetv.com/ It seems this specializes in crime movies and shows, so never mind (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** PAPUA NEW GUINEA. 7325-, Feb 4 at 1257, very poor carrier remains, after CRI Japanese cuts off for a couple minutes, so presumed Wantok Radio Light is active.

BURNS, OREGON ON HAM RADIO --- Glen[n]: Tennessee ham radio operator David Parrish (callsign KI4THY) is interviewing various people living in Burns, Oregon with his phone patch and transmitting the conversations over the air on 3843 kHz [LSB?]. He has done this on previous nights as well. He has spoken to local citizen activist YouTubers, a mother and daughter working as manager and waitress at a local tavern, a desk clerk at a local motel and other figures. Other ham radio operators and phone callers from around the U.S. are asking questions and making comments in the discussion. It is also being streamed on http://livehams.com by another ham (Des Preston, KB8UYJ, Ann Arbor, Michigan, Sent from my iPhone, 0722 UT Jan 29, DX LISTENING DIGEST via dxldyg without delay, WORLD OF RADIO 1811) Despite posting the above to the 800+ DXLD yg members, it got zero response, and I myself did not get around to checking it until: 3843-LSB, Feb 4 at 0532, S9+25 signal from main ham about the Burns, Oregon standoff at a National Wildlife Refuge. Says people will be calling in during next hour. Hopes someone will record and put it on YouTube. It`s ``KI4THY, Captain Dave, here`` at 0533. Jamie and Dan will be live from the Pine Room Lounge in Burns shortly, a ``real volatile situation``. 0537 someone on phone, Ernest, KG4QIX, who is ``almost twin`` of KI4THY, really brothers? Invites SWLs to call in, but never hear a phone number. Brief `jamming` by someone singing. Reference to livehams.com; and to High Desert Amateur Radio Group, in Bend and Burns. Waiting for people to get off work; 0542 Dave is ``taking a break to change the ice on the deck``, ha ha. Now a spoiler emits several ``oink, oinx`` in the pause. 0550 resumes net. Says Danny in Burns OR is coming up; 0601 ``we got four people hanging on out there``. Unfortunately, at this point I have to QRX and finish distributing WORLD OF RADIO. Apparently they are doing this every night around midnight Central, and will continue for the duration. Not till 0733 UT am I back on 3843-LSB and find the post-discussion still going about this ``cliff-hanger``. Someone asks Dave about his phone patch. Says it`s home-made, and with a Bluetooth module it`s easy to hook up a cell phone to it. After transmission from an N5 in Waco, ``keep your powder dry``, trying to clear the net. Someone says ``tune to 3833 for the rest of the story``, but I hear nothing there immediately in a quick check. Since I missed the body of the broadcast (?) tonight, I`m still not quite sure where Dave and his friends are coming from. Are they doing impartial journalism by interviewing onlookers in Burns, or are they militia supporters? Or some of both? The question also arises whether this use of ham radio is kosher, altho it certainly makes for interesting monitoring. At least they are not trying to hide anything, using their callsigns. Where is KI4THY? 691 LAKEVIEW ST, ESTILL SPRINGS, TN 37330. His QRZ.com profile includes: ``73's to all from beautiful Tims Ford Lake, East of Lynchburg and West of Estill Springs, Tn. KI4THY is a Vietnam veteran and served the US Navy as an electronics technician aboard the USS Suribachi, an ammo ship, in the South China Sea in 1972, with the USN 6th fleet in the Mediterranean Sea in 1971, and USN Guam communications center/AFRTS in 1970`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1810 monitoring: confirmed UT Wed Feb 3 at 0030 on WBCQ 9330-CUSB, at S9+10/20 after at least 5 minutes of The Planet IS & IDs prior to new sign-on time. That`s because Allan Weiner surprised me with this: ``Hi Glenn, I have decided to carry WOR all seven days on 9330. Will be on 7:30 to 8pm, except Sat. will be on 6:30 to 7p. All times EST. Hope this helps. Thanks for all you do. Allan``. So in terms of UT that means Mon-Sat 0030, and Sat 2330. At tune-in frequency was about 9329.87, but by 0054 it had warmed up to 9330.000. Also confirmed 24 hours later UT Thu Feb 4 at 0030 on 9330.0. Due to our produxion schedule, the first airing here of new WORs will be UT Fridays (and the previous 9330 airing at 0200 UT Friday, expected to shift to 0300, will no longer be necessary). WOR 1810 also confirmed Wed Feb 3 at 1415.5 on WRMI 9955 (following FG Radio, Cyprus, with a short-story ``classic reading`` from Robert Louis Stevenson; why? We`ve heard RLS on FGR before, and wonder if it`s the same story, an ``evergreen`` standby episode instead of any news? BTW their website has not been updated since last May, with outdated schedules, http://famagusta-gazette.com/FG-radio-158.htm including this Wed 1400 on 9955 but with summer timing of Wed 1300. WOR 1810 also confirmed Wed Feb 3 during the WBCQ 2200 airing, at 2211 when it was on about 7490.0; rechecked after 0030, this had as usual drifted down slightly to the lo side of 7490. WORLD OF RADIO 1811 monitoring: confirmed first SW airing Thu Feb 4 after 1230 on WRMI 9955: at 1253 check it`s S9+10 with pulse jamming; tnx a lot, Arnie! Also confirmed Thu at 2100 on WRMI 7570, good. Also confirmed NEW: UT Friday Feb 5 at 0030 on WBCQ 9330.135-CUSB.

Shortly after posting my latest logs, heard from Jeff White, that the WRMI transmission grid has now been updated, https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1nEVwCMB9RSKowLzLXamyayVpCzjmPAw_SB1r3YOdzQc/edit?pref=2&pli=1#gid=0 So the second entry for ``5850`` on the TOM website really applies to 7730: 5850 West/Midwest USA & NE Asia Daily 0100-0700 0900-1000 1100-2300 8pm-2am 4am-5am 6am-6pm 5850 [sic] Western N America & Mexico Daily 0100-0700 0800-0000 8pm-2am 3am-7pm [two entries for 5850? Does that mean two transmitters/antennas at once? Would be something new for WRMI. Or meant to apply to a different frequency?] 242 hours a day of course is equivalent to an average of TEN+ BS transmitters at once thruout the day, 24/7. Margin of error: Jeff White confirms that it`s nominally 10 x 24 = 240 hours per day. 5850, Feb 3 at 0701, as expected above, this frequency is taking a break from BS, with fill music, while 5015, 5950 and 7570 are still BS; also 7730 has gone to music instead of BS. At this hour in the nightmiddle, BS is also still audibly transmitting on day frequencies 11580, 11825, 11920, plus 13695 with a JBA carrier. 11580, Wed Feb 4 at 2125, surprised to hear `Walking in Power` outroduxion on this frequency at this hour, which per revised schedule is supposed to be part of the deka-frequency BS-blast from WRMI (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 7490, UT Tuesday Feb 2 at 0100-0200, WBCQ is presumably broadcasting first episode of new weekly show, `From the Isle of Music`. But since I`m busy at the computer, I condescend to listen to the webstream instead, despite the perfect ``reception`` for this show designed for shortwave. The host is a big Cuban music fan and has even visited the Antille and interviewed musicians, so not all the hour is pure music. Unfortunately, the stream is not stereo which would give it added value over SW; I wonder if the original show is produced in stereo. Reception is so good that I can perceive numerous edits during the talk portion, altho not as obvious as on World of Radio. We certainly welcome this addition to the schedule, altho if any music is hardly lacking on SW already, it`s Cuban --- the only saving grace of Radio Habana (and Radios Rebelde, Progreso to a much lesser extent). Too bad he didn`t pick some other Latin American country to feature. He, who? We only found his name by hunting thru old Facebook posts, Bill Tilford. He mixes in comments in Spanish with a pronounced Yanqui accent from Chicago. This replaces `Rabbi Yaakov Spivak` on WBCQ, and Larry Will says another new music show will occupy Rabbi`s other 01-02 hours on UT Wed, Thu, Fri; until then, filled by `Allan Weiner Worldwide` repeats (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A.

Sana`a mostly music, past 1500 still at S9+10; 1502.4 changes music, but no call to prayer or announcement past 1506. 11860, Feb 4 at 1309 check, R. Sana`a is already at good S9+10 level with Arabic talk. Previously it would not fade up to this level for another semihour. I`m mainly monitoring Bougainville during rest of this hour. At 1409, 11860 is S9+20 still M&W talk in Arabic about Yemen. 1421 audio stops during a non-Qur`an spoken recitation, and dead air continues until cuts back on with music at 1431.5; S9+20 here sounds much louder than the S9+20 metering on 6020. At 1501, 11860 switches from music to talk, still going at 1510 with no break for a call-to-prayer, which now seems quite hit-and-miss, optional (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) UNIDENTIFIED. 1500, Feb 4 at 0525 UT, again hearing some weak blues music with KSTP nulled as much as possible. At hourtop, 0558-0600+ UT don`t hear any announcement, just music. Replying to my previous log is Wally Leisering: ``Have you ruled out KCLF 1500, New Roads, LA? I have not heard them in GA so far. http://kclf1500am.com/coverage.html I love this line from their web page. "While some stations would be satisfied with this coverage, we at KCLF 1500 AM have plans to increase the station?s broadcasting power and find ways to expand the station?s coverage area!" (Wally Leisering, Decatur, GA, Sent from Windows Mail, DX LISTENING DIGEST)`` Wally, tnx for the tip. I bet that`s it, but it would be nice if they legal-ID once in a while. Logo says ``The Voice of Pointe Coup?e Parish``, and: ``The Best in Gospel, Blues and Zydeco`` ``American Blues Network --- Showcasing best Blues talent, The American Blues Network is the oldest blues show playing down home contemporary and traditional blues! On air: Monday - Friday 9:00am - 3:00pm & 6:00pm ? 6:00am`` General direxion and blues all night certainly fit; I haven`t heard any Zydeco yet. NRC AM Log had it as UC/AC, ``K-15``, 1000 D1, but a CP for U1 850/18. They`ve obviously been on at night, maybe more than 18 watts. So they went to the trouble to get a U1 license by ``reducing`` power at night. Sudden appearance may be explained by the CP going into effect, or just letting the 1 kW daytime stay on, like so many stations cheat. FCC AM Query still has the U1 info as CP, but it takes them a while to catch up when a CP is activated. CoL is New Roads LA, which is barely on the south/west bank of the Mississippi, but is the site, justifying a K-call? Also the U1 CP site has slightly different co?rdinates than the original D1 site (Glenn Hauser, WORLD OF RADIO 1811, DX LISTENING DIGEST) This report dispatched at 0056 UT February 5 ------------------------------ Message: 10 Date: Thu, 4 Feb 2016 20:02:56 -0500 From: Stephen C Wood <hauu...@comcast.net> To: dxld <d...@yahoogroups.com> Cc: NASWA <na...@yahoogroups.com>, HCDX <hard-core-dx@hard-core-dx.com> Subject: [HCDX] V.of Greece Message-ID: <b6d004b6-72d2-48f1-a1ca-e3ae45ae4...@comcast.net> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 9420 // 9935 - V.of Greece, Avilis, Greece 0055 UTC 04 Feb 2016 - Both Freequencies being received here W/ good signals. 9935 still suffers from the constant hum but otherwise the signal strength is up to S9. 9420 is actually only about S8 and has more fading .
