** ANGUILLA. Caribbean Beacon still missing for a third day, checked as follows with NO signals: March 11: 2125 UT 11775; March 12: 0516 UT 6090; 1345 UT 11775 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See USA KVOH
** BANGLADESH. 15505, March 12 at 1359, BB IS, very poor with flutter, mistimesignal ending at 1359:15.5 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** BRAZIL. 11675, 11710, 11745, 11815, 11850, March 12 at 0523, panoply of cracking spurs from 11780.1v RNA/RNB: the outer ones are just a trace, while the inner ones are awful (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CHINA. 9200, March 12 at 1238, CNR1 jammer, poor-fair with flutter; still there at 1317 with target CCI, and // 9350. 15940, March 12 at 1357, CNR1 jammer, good with flutter 16530, March 12 at 1358, CNR1 jammer, good with flutter; no 17s, 14s 16100, March 12 at 1358, CNR1 jammer, good with flutter (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CHINA [non]. 7220, March 12 at 0521, CCI clash as always during this hour since B-14 started: ROMANIA in Romanian, and the other must be CRI English via ALBANIA; what were they thinking? Yes, they are aiming near-opposite direxions, but two European sources that close are bound to interfere with each other even inside respective targets (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA. 9535, March 12 at 0515, RHC Spanish is still running here and on // stronger 9710. Outdated sked prior to DST shows 9535 was supposed to finish at 0500, 9710 at 0600. RHC English is on all 5 overkill frequencies at 0516 March 12: 5040, 6000, 6060, 6100, 6165. 11930 is again on with unlisted RHC colliding with Martí: see separate log (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA [and non]. 7405, March 12 at 0519, wall-of-noise jamming against Radio Martí (unlike 23 hours earlier when clear of jamming). 5980, March 12 at 1254, R. Martí fair with no jamming, as the DentroCuban Jamming Command is apparently still out of synch. 11930, March 12 at 1342, RHC Spanish is again colliding with R. Martí, on unlisted frequency, playing games? Normally these two avoid each other and leave the jamming to noise transmitters. It`s an echo apart from 11950 RHC, while 11860 & 11760 are also on with their own QRM problems. At 1344 some pulse jamming is briefly added to 11930. By 1418 next check, all Cubans gone, but RM is remarkably weak, while 13820 is heavily jammed (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** INDIA. 13710, March 12 at 1346, AIR GOS good with flutter, ``Indian Melodies`` from the movie ``Hiway``, much stronger than // 9690 and 11620. But overcome at 1400 by CRI English on 13710 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** INDONESIA. 3345-, March 12 at 1241, very poor talk, 1252 losing but still detectable by 1300. No doubt it`s RRI Ternate, as heard the day before, much better by Ron Howard and Walt Salmaniw on the west coasts, measured 3344.85 or 3344.864. They were also getting 3325- RRI Palangkaraya, but I can`t detect even a carrier from that today. Maybe off again? March 11 they both closed around 1502-1503* (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** MALAYSIA [and non]. 11665, March 12 at 1419, poor signals, music and talk mixed, so CRI English via Urumqi, EAST TURKISTAN, ruining what little signal we can get from RTM Wai FM. 9835, March 12 at 1419, different music than on 11665, no CCI, but ACI from usual 9830 RTTY, very poor from RTM Sarawak FM (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** RWANDA. 15700, March 12 at 0527, VG signal, W&M in strangely accented Arabish, maybe because it`s Adventish, this hour via doomed Kigali site; tho beamed 30 degrees, it`s the SSOB by far, between some deep fades; 0529 pop music, 0531 segué to more from AWR (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** SUDAN [non]. 15550, March 12 at 0528, tone jamming against nothing; since on 15555 we hear Arabic YL with R. Tamazuj IDs in passing, poor. So they`ve outsmarted the jammers again. The 04-06 ``PNW FPU`` broadcast via MADAGASCAR is still listed on 15550 by HFCC, Aoki & EiBi. Usage may vary from day to day. R. Dabanga follows at 0530 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1764 monitoring: confirmed first airing UT Thu March 12 at 0330 on WRMI 9955, fair; and 1230 March 12 also on WRMI 9955, good signal, no jamming. Next: Fri 2130 on WRMI 7570 & 15770 Sat 0730 & 1530 on Hamburger Lokalradio 7265-CUSB Sat 1000 on WRMI 5850 Sat 1930v on WA0RCR 1860-AM Gateway 160 Meter Radio Newsletter, MO Sun 0315v on WA0RCR 1860-AM Gateway 160 Meter Radio Newsletter, MO Sun 2300 on WRMI 11580 Mon 0300v on Area 51 via WBCQ 5110v Tue 1100 on WRMI 9955 Wed 0730 & 1530 on Hamburger Lokalradio 7265-CUSB Wed 1315 on WRMI 9955 Wed 2100 on WBCQ 7490v As chances to hear WOR on SW are reduced, you may want to subscribe to a podcast: three different sources are linked atop http://www.worldofradio.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 9975, March 12 at 0330, KVOH is just barely modulated; still such at 0513 during DGS (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 5830, March 12 at 0517, WTWW-1 is open carrier, dead air except for some hum. Still so at 0535, 0606+ chex; and STILL so at 1239, 1317, 1345, 1355; and STILL SO after QSY to day channel 9475, March 12 at 1415 check. I leave a receiver on it, and remains silent by 1633 when I finish this report. Thus we are spared from racist, sexist, deadist PPPP crap from Laporte. How can a SW station run for hours and hours with no modulation and nobody at the station notice or care? What does it take for whoever is responsible to get fired? Wake up, Ted! At least WTWW-3 carrier was not on 12105 this time; nor any sign of WTWW-2 on 9930 or 5085 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 1560, March 12 at 1310 UT, organ and choral hymns, good at first from NE/SW, nulling NBC Sports, presumably KEBC OKC, but losing it by an announcement at 1314 UT. Likely KLNG Council Bluffs IA, 10 kW ND daytimer, only religious format around here, tho it`s closer to NNE (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** UZBEKISTAN. 9500, March 12 at 1319, S Asian song, poor with flutter, CCI. Presumably CVC The Voice Asia, via Tashkent in Hindi; and a non-jammer CNR1 transmitter is also listed (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** VIETNAM [and non]. 9920, Thu March 12 at 1234, neat hymn on harmonica, poor-fair and no whoop-whoop jamming audible until talk starts a minute later. Per Aoki the 1230-1300 semihour, due west from Iba, PHILIPPINES with 100 kW, is in Hre on Sun/Tue/Thu/Sat; Bahnar M/W/F. Aoki also says it`s FEBA using an FEBC transmitter (is there really any difference?). EiBi`s language list http://www.eibispace.de/dx/README.TXT says Hre is spoken by 100 kilopeople in Vietnam, and Bahnar by 164 kp. Can`t let those Christians infiltrate the minorities! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) UNIDENTIFIED. 774, March 12 at 1249-1252+, JBA carrier from NW, no doubt 500 kW NHK, the #1 TP signal if any remnant make it to here. Nothing on some others checked in the <1000 and 1566 range. Our sunrise today: 1247 UT (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) UNIDENTIFIED. 1470, March 12 at 1308 UT, Spanish mentions Los Ángeles, 1309 ``un nuevo día más, radio por la mañana``, maybe a searchable catch-phrase? Yes, but nothing clix. Soon fades; loops approx., E-W, but too much QRM from any other direxion to be sure. L.A. could be mentioned anywhere, but there is a SS in CA, KUTY in Palmdale, 5/5 kW U4. Per the NRC AM Log 2014-2015, other 1470 USA SS are in: FL, IA, MN, NC, PR, all of which are even less likely than CA, unless the DF is way off, from IA. This is 20 minutes after LSR in Enid. Group site http://highdesertbroadcasting.com/ shows only this one of the cluster lacks its own webpage, but listed as: ``KUTY 1470 AM – Hermosa - Spanish Music/Talk/News`` Or could it be a Mexican? Possibly XEACE in Mazatlán, Sinaloa, 1/0.1 kW. This late I haven`t heard any other N/W Mexicans on lower channels, tho 1570 XERF is still audible (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) UNIDENTIFIED. 3241.5-SSB, March 12 at 1243, almost continuous talk tho in SSB could seem like a broadcast, until pause and another transmitter replies; very poor but seems like Chinese or some Asian language. Nothing making it from Korean broadcasters on this band (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) This report despatched at 1654 UT March 12 _ Hard-Core-DX mailing list Hard-Core-DX@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/hard-core-dx http://www.hard-core-dx.com/ _______________________________________________ THE INFORMATION IN THIS ARTICLE IS FREE.
