Perhaps additional jamming or Taiwan`s notorious off-frequenciness, as Aoki shows all these in the 15-16 hour on 6145: CNR8 in Kazakh from Lingshi PBS Qinghai from Xining in Chinese [except Tuesday, and x=off the air] RTI in Chinese from Paochung and of course, *jamming on RTI which was probably what I mainly heard on 6145, CNR1 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** COSTA RICA. QSL card for R. Rep?blica test via Cariari, received Feb 6 for Jan 7 reception reported by e-mail to WRMI, v/s Jeff White, for 5954, 10 kW, 2309-2359 UT: http://www.w4uvh.net/CRepub2.jpg http://www.w4uvh.net/CRepub1.jpg Obverse illustrates a banana plantation in Cariari, Lim?n province, including three blue plastic bags to keep in the pesticides. USPS put a strip over the entire lettering across the bottom, but fortunately these peel off without damage (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA. 13670, Feb 7 at 1434 and still at 1526, RHC missing from this scheduled morning frequency for at least the second day. Announcement at 1530 on 15230 still had the automaton claiming to be on 13670, twice, until 1600. Would it be too much trouble to turn on a receiver in the studio and find out what frequencies are really on the air? Of course! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** EGYPT. 15160, Feb 7 at 1529, propeller noise, rather like narrow-band OTH radar, and stronger at 1534, no intelligent modulation at all. Presumably usual R. Cairo totally demented Uzbek service as scheduled, 250 kW, 50 degrees from Abu Zaabal (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** INDONESIA. 9526-, Feb 7 at 1419, VOI poor signal is just barely modulated if at all during presumed Indonesian hour; suffers from splash de 9520 RVA in Tamil. Meanwhile, 9680 RRI domestic relay has good modulation and signal with music, Indonesian talk. 9526- still on at 1520 with better modulation and in slow Chinese instead of Indonesian hour as in Aoki, het from weaker 9525, presumably usual CRI English. Isihida shows VOI has been in Chinese during the 15 UT hour so far Feb 1-6, but seldom on air thruout (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** IRAN [non]. 15205, Feb 7 at 1436, no sign of R. Farda which was here 24 hours earlier, unlisted channel. Is audible on 15410, out-of-synch // 13680 during news/talk, and barely on 13615; 11750 has weak RHC but signs of a SAH beneath. Still no 15205 at 1528, so was it a mistake yesterday or a test? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** KOREA NORTH [and non]. 9325, Feb 7 at 1415 as I tune in, ``VOA`` jingle and Khmer, i.e. from Tinian; where is VOK? Maybe causing a slight SAH during Russian hour toward Europe. Slightly better but insufficient signal in French on the other side of WBCQ, 9335, which is aimed USward (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** KOREA NORTH [non]. 5985, Tuesday Feb 7 at 1355, Shiokaze from JSR Tokyo/Yamata, YL in Spe-cial Chi-nese, i.e. slowly spoken. WRTH 2012 page 505 shows Mandarin as their fourth language but without attempting to pin down any specific language rotation with Korean, Japanese, and English. It does say they require a US$10 MO donation for a QSL (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** MAURITANIA. 7245, Feb 7 at 0633 and still 0652, IGIM is missing again, along with VATICAN 7250 for big holes in the middle of the band (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** OKLAHOMA. 88.1 et al., noisy spur from 93.3 K227AT Enid, Feb 6 around 2100 UT: whew, it`s gone 24 hours after infestation (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** PAPUA NEW GUINEA. 7325, Feb 7 at 1400, poor fluttery signal with gospel music, presumed Wantok Radio Light (note word order and spelling), in semi-hour hiatus of CRI blocking frequency. Break for talk from 1402 to 1409:10 when music resumed, 1413:50 talk. Too weak to copy any further details, and doubtful their log would show exact times of music/talk switches, the only significant details I can garner. BTW, Google shows ``garner`` has been used in DXLD only eight times in the past decade, some of them as proper names (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** PHILIPPINES. 9515, Feb 7 at 1428, RVA ID in English with jazz background, introducing next language at ``1430-1457 on 9515``, repeated. Could not understand what they said it would be, but Telugu listed. For some reason, they switch from to 9515 from 9520 used during previous semihour in Tamil (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 11580, Tue Feb 7 at 1531, very strong `Inspirations Across America` again, but did not stay tuned for a panty-liner ad; evidently WWCR-4 is on here regularly weekdays at 15-17 tho not appearing on their schedules. 15825, Feb 7 at 1532, WWCR-1 is quite strong, must have sporadic-E assistance, so I check for the plus/minus 15.6 kHz spurs. They are just barely detectable with BFO around 15809.4 and 15840.6; no noise field in between or beyond, whew, otherwise clean signal, and without that annoying pumping/ringing/overdrive processing they impose on 7490 WWCR-2 at same time, later 12160, 9350, 5070, 5935. At this time there were absolutely no broadcast signals (except their own spurs) between WEWN 15610 and WWCR 15825, which has become extremely isolated on the far right of the 15 MHz band (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** VATICAN. 7250, Feb 7 at 0633 and still at 0652, VR is missing from this frequency for the second day in a row. 7360 still on with African service in English. At 0639 checked 6075 and wondered if a weak signal aside CFRX could be this, until strong carrier cut on and off and on, joining Latin mass in progress. SMG is really having problems with its emitters, so would not be surprised if other transmissions be absent (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) UNIDENTIFIED. 9522-9523, Feb 7 at 1502, very distorted spur with talk maybe in Thai or similar, 1503 off and on and off; call to breakfast of omelet with avocado side prevented me from chasing it further. Uplooked later in Aoki, nothing likely on nearby frequencies, so apparently spur from further afield. Was also hetting 9525/9526 both still on, see INDONESIA (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ------------------------------ Message: 8 Date: Tue, 7 Feb 2012 10:52:53 -0800 (PST) From: Stewart MacKenzie <wdx...@yahoo.com> To: Adrian Peterson <adr...@awr.org>, Gerry Dexter <g...@wi.rr.com>, Anker Peterson <anker.peter...@mail.dk>, BCL NEWS <bcln...@yahoogroups.com>, Duane Fischer <dfisc...@usol.com>, Hard Core DX <hard-core...@hard-core-dx.com>, Maryann Kehoe <atl...@webtv.net>, Prime Time Shortwave <primetimeshortw...@yahoogroups.com>, SWL QTH <s...@mailman.qth.net> Subject: [HCDX] Shortwave Radio Logs from WDX6AA Message-ID: <1328640773.84662.yahoomailclas...@web30703.mail.mud.yahoo.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 >>> CHINA and USA???

There is no such relay on 11770. CRI is listed in Vietnamese direct. Not on 11980 or 11640 either. I do hear some signals on 11770 and 11975. > GREECE?? Foni Tis Helladas?? 12105? 0133 GMT?
