On May 13th, the Church celebrates the Feast of Our Lady of Fatima. During
his May 2010 visit to Portugal, Pope Benedict presided a special mass for
tens of thousands of pilgrims on this feast day in Fatima, to honour the
tenth anniversary of the beatification of Francisco and Jacinta, two of the
three children to whom Our Lady appeared in the small Portuguese village
almost a century ago. The two shepherd children died when they were still
very young.
But Sr. Lucia Dos Santos, the last of the three to survive, lived in her
convent in Coimbra, Portugal until her death in 2005 at the ripe age of 98.
Pope John Paul II had a special relationship with Sr. Lucy as she is also
known.
Theirs was a friendship that spanned decades,- until the Pope John Paul's
own death in 2005, less than two months after the passing of Sr. Lucy. The
two had kept in touch regularly - up to the very last days of their lives -
and as you'll soon hear in this program by Tracey McClure, with special ...

** ANTARCTICA. 15476, as usual late coming on, May 13 at 1233 nothing, but
*1238:19 carrier on with immediate musical pr?lude; 1249 switch to another
song, then LRA36 ID and usual sign-on, not with ``Soy Feliz`` theme but song
with similar beat. S9+12 and I have no time to listen further today.
I`m rather surprised that this is not being reported more widely. A 2 kW
transmitter from 12 megameters away, the only SW station on the continent, is
by any definition DX, altho some DXers are prejudiced against anything above
the tropical bands. I continue to find it interesting to see how propagation
from so far below varies from day to day, and how sign-ons vary from day to
day, always remembering that it could vanish again for months at a time. Do
others find it pass? once logged; or just can`t get it? I realise timing is
inconvenient for live listeners in eastern North America with a 9-5 job or
school hours in the way (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BULGARIA. 11600, checking another R. Bulgaria Kostinbrod test frequency,
altho not to NAm, at 0530-0700: May 12 at 0609, waltz music, then French ID. //
9600 a bit stronger but 11600 clearer, and 11600 also running about one second
behind Plovdiv 9600.
Again UT May 13, at 0534 in German, 11600 seems further out of synch by about
two seconds after 9600, then folk music at 0538. 11600 had more fading but
signal levels about equal. The 100 kW Kostinbrod tests are to continue thru May
15; schedule in DXLD 11-18 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake May 13, this time tuning downward, all //:
16980, very good at 1222, quite like Kashgar on 17490, 17650
16100, very good at 1223
15900, good at 1225
14900, fair at 1226
13130, good at 1227
12240, good at 1227
10300, fair at 1228
7970, JBA at 1229
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [and non]. Checking whether RHC stays on new 6100 after hearing it
during two May 12 transmissions: UT May 13 at 0252, Spanish is on 6120, not
6100 or 6150. At 0520, squealy English is back on reactivated 6150, ex-6100. At
1231, Spanish also back on 6150, ex-6100, // 6000. BTW, Ron Howard says
MALAYSIA did not stay on 6100, apparently the transmitter moved to 7235 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. 9526-, VOI, May 13 at 1207 song, 1208 English ID with website
http://www.voi.co.id plugging streaming, also phone (text?) number and e-mail,
chat. Said something about other languages including Indonesian, Arabic,
Japanese, German, but too poor to copy details. Yesterday during this hour
only, they switched to Indonesian and the other languages have been missing
from SW. Did not hear any mention of SW frequencies like they used to do, altho
all of them were wrong, out of use or 1 kHz off (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** KUWAIT. 21540, May 13 at 1217, Arabic music from R. Kuwait, the SSOB,
rivalled only by 21780 Rwanda, with hardly a trace of Spain on 21540 or 21610
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** RUSSIA [and non]. 13610, May 13 at 1353, `Moscow Nights` tune, then
jazzed-up-tempo `Beethoven`s Fifth`; some CCI. 1358 to Chinese announcement and
VOR IS until 1359*. Ergo this was VOR`s Chinese service, 250 kW, 230 degrees
via Vladivostok, atop the CCI of CRI English via Kashgar, EAST TURKISTAN (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SPAIN [and non]. 11880, REE via COSTA RICA, May 13 at 1254 tuned in just in
time to reconfirm that Basque is still running, and with spurious 5+1
timesignal ending at 1254:15! Maybe that part of program was pre-recorded and
they couldn`t defeat it. 1255 back to Castilian plus Portuguese ID in promo,
music fill.
17595, May 13 at 1305, I am listening carefully to the opening of `Espa?oles en
la Mar`` with its Morse-code theme, because the fifth character should be one
we never hear in English CW, the Enye, and yes, there it went, --.-- which did
not always display properly in my previous item appearing in DXLD 11-18.
Too-smart-for-its-own-good MS Word likes to combine two hyphens into one dash,
or result in garble.
Before body of show, two separate promos asking listeners to contact them about
whether listening on SW, satellite or internet; they are giving away 10 digital
radios, and numerous books. This show`s particular address is enlamar @
rtve.es. Then onto first report, about problems facing the Spanish fleet
fishing for red tuna off Libya.
About the possibility of closing SW, Jos? Bueno in Spain says ``this time it`s
serious`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SRI LANKA [and non]. 17735, May 13 at 1220, good signal with W&M
conversation in C Asian language, one of them on the phone. Aoki shows R.
Liberty in Kyrgyz during this semihour only. HFCC shows IBB Iranawila, 250 kW,
344 degrees, so also favors NAm far beyond Kyrgyzstan; had not noticed this one
before. CRI Kashgar, EAST TURKISTAN, was also in well on 17490, 17650 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. Correxion to last report: I wrote 17745 twice instead of correct
17545! Here changed:
17545 // 15580, May 12 at 1430 with `International Edition` from VOA, good
weekdaily newscast, closing at 1456 referring to VOA Asia, even tho these
frequencies are from S?o Tom? to Africa, 124 and 138 degrees respectively, but
both very good today even here.
1457 Editorial about Syria, but 17545 cut off at 1458:20* before it could
finish. Then checked 15580 and it was also off, but came back on and off for a
few more words of editorial, stayed on after 1500 for VOA News, unlike 17545.
It seems the editorials have been scheduled during expendable
transmitter-switching times just before hourtops, ? la the Chinese lessons on
CRI (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also PAKISTAN [non]
** U S A. 2390 is no longer on air, but 5050, WWRB, UT Friday May 13 at 0330
usual dead air, quick ID by Dave, finally at 0332 rough start of WORLD OF RADIO
1564 playback, cutting off part of the opening. Modulation OK, but I find that
5050 is weaker than its neighbors geographically and frequentially, 4840 WWCR
and strongest 5755 WTWW, the three about 5 dB apart on my meter. Could be due
to different rhombic antenna patterns. Dave replies:
``Greetings: Are we within 5 dB of each station? We are using a 150 foot high
Rhombic that is beaming 045 degrees. The other stations antennas are on
telephone poles less than 100 feet(?) high --- with wire sag? In that situation
our Rhombic antenna will be much more directive. WWRB received about 10 Emails
last night from Europe & eastern Canada stating that WWRB was 15 dB stronger
than the other stations and significantly louder.``
Other WORLD OF RADIO 1564 monitoring: Confirmed on ACB Radio Mainstream webcast
after 0300 Friday, to repeat 2-hourly thru 2330. On WRMI, Friday 1430+
confirmed on webcast, but not enough signal on unjammed 9955 at 1455 to be sure
it`s on. Further airings on WRMI are: Saturday 0800, 1730, Sunday 0800, 1530,
1730. On WWCR: Friday 2030 on 15825, Saturday 1600 on 12160, Sunday 0630 on
3215. On IPAR: Saturday 1800 on 7290 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9370, WTJC, good May 13 at 0543 and spurless with 9345 and 9395
clear. Seems we are in another respite interlude (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. 17680, CVC La Voz, Miami via CHILE, as always with loud and
clear signal even if little else is making it on 16m. Yet I avoid this station
because I resent stealth evangelism as deeply dishonest. But I gave them a
chance May 13 at 1347 with some admittedly catchy music. It`s in a countdown
show of some sort, and this song initially seems secular/romantic, mixing some
rap with normal crooning, ``Solo T?``, a love song? Only in the sense of loving
Jes?s! Who toward the end is named as the object of affexion. Keeping this time
from being totally wasted, I also noticed some IADs (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** VATICAN [non]. 13730, May 13 at 1212, VR via CANADA, fair signal and hardly
any SAH from Portugal, ending `Vatican Radio World News` as always with a quick
quote from PBXVI, this about May 13 being Our Lady of Fatima`s Day; reference
http://www.vaticanradio.org and to be back [in English] at ``6:15 Rome Time``
--- i.e. 1615 UT to Eu/ME on 15595, 7250, 5885, 4005, 585 as in BDXC-UK`s
comprehensive A-11 Broadcasts in English booklet. 1214 to open carrier, no IS
before off by 1215 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 6170, May 13 at 1232 no signal at all, unlike 48+ hours earlier.
I need to ask RNZI about that (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 9872 approx., May 13 at 0542 roaring noise, unseems DRM but could
be jamming, or ute? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 12048 approx., extremely distorted FMy signal, talk sounds like
English intonation, but not positive, May 13 at 0528. Checked RHC on 49m and
VOR on 22m for // but neither fit. Then at 0529 heard a bit of the VTC fill
music loop before cut off at 0529:45* Babcock has a lot of transmissions on the
12 MHz band, but none on 12045 or 12050 or anywhere else ending at 0530 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

GH: The eagerly-awaited WRTH A-11 PDF update has been posted May 13, at
http://wrth.org/files/WRTH2011IntRadioSuppl2_A11Schedules.pdf
Note that voluntary donations are invited for this tremendous free resource, at
http://wrth.org/updates_new.asp
Our comments on some of the WRTH A-11 update info after a quick look thru it;
while some monitoring info has been incorporated, there is still too much
reliance on ``official`` info:

1400-1800 ......s CAm 13680hab**
1530-2000 ......s Car 11760hab
** "Al? Presidente" prgr.
GH: As we have pointed out again and again, A,P never starts at 1400. On the
increasingly rare occasions it is on, starts circa 1530 and may run well past
1800. Despite what the RHC website says.
Is RHC really on the air midday Sundays only on this one frequency, 11760?
Certainly have not noticed it here, and it is not on the RHC online frequency
schedule --- but it`s unbelievable, still displaying ``11560`` instead of 17560
for some broadcasts to Europe. Needs check.
BTW, we started to check the RHC frequency schedule
http://www.radiohc.cu/index.php/de-interes/frecuencias.html
on IE and found that the extraneous info in the right column has shifted to the
left, overlaying the frequency schedule! No matter how it is sized. Looks OK on
Firefox.

Tuesdays when there is an English gospel huxter curtailing it to 1345-1400, not
at 1345 daily. English at 0600-0630 is axually 7 days a week, but you have to

1400-1600 daily Eu 9655mos
1500-1600 daily NAf 17485wer
GH: That is the entire entry! Once again the Europeans refuse to recognize much
more extensive broadcasts by TOM via WWCR, WWRB, WBCQ, up to 24 hours a day. US
broadcasters don`t count. Buying time on them is no different than buying time
from M&B.
U S A --- UNIVERSITY NETWORK (Rlg)
kHz: 1610, 6090, 11775
Summer Schedule 2011
English Days Area kHz
1000-2200 daily NAm 11775aia
1600-1000 daily CAm 1610aia
2200-1000 daily NAm 6090aia
GH: Like with TOM, lots of airtime via WWCR is ignored.

GH: once again, don`t you believe their own website schedule. As we have
pointed out repeatedly, there is now a LARGE gap on weekdays between 1315 and
1900(?) while 13570 is off the air.
U S A --- WTWW (Rlg)
kHz: 5755, 12100
Planned Summer Schedule 2011
Arabic Days Area kHz
1400-1700 daily NAm,Eu 12100tww
English Days Area kHz

Spanish Days Area kHz
2300-0200 daily NAm,Eu,Af 5755tww
Note: Tentative schedule, see wwtw.us for latest info.
GH: the WTWW website does not have any `latest info` (yet?). Above schedule
misses their huge daytime signal on 9479 currently starting around 1300 (HFCC
shows 9480 from 1200, to be 1100 from June). Tests have been carried out on
12100 using the second transmitter, but the above schedule makes it look as if
there is one transmitter, on 5755 at night, 12100 day, including all those
foreign languages, with English cut back to overnight only ---- what about the
24h Scriptures for America service currently on 9479/5755? BTW the link to
`program sked` attempts to go only to SFAW, but it`s a dead link. As George
McClintock told us without any scheduling details, the foreign languages are to
be nothing but Bible readings, `Spoken Word of God`.
U S A --- WWRB (Rlg)
kHz: 2390, 3185, 3215, 5050, 9385
Summer Schedule 2011
English Days Area kHz
0000-0400 daily NAm 2390wrb [ . . .]
GH: 2390 is off the air for the summer, and 15795, not mentioned, is about to
be tested in daytime, as we have been reporting.
U S A --- WBCQ ? THE PLANET
kHz: 5110, 7415, 9330, 15420
Summer Schedule 2011
English Days Area kHz
0000-2400 daily NAm,CAm 9330bcq*
1700-2100 daily NAm,CAm 15420bcq*
1900-0400 daily NAm,CAm 7415bcq*
2200-0300 daily NAm,CAm 5110bcq*
Key: * USB/AM.
GH: it should always be pointed out that WBCQ times are approximate and subject
to daily variations. In particular, 5110 has not been on the air daily for at
least a year, but only on weekends with Area 51. Also, 7415 stays on way past
0400 at least on UT Sundays. There are also off-air breaks during the
afternoons. Furthermore, 7415 (only) is not *USB/AM, but full AM. The WRTH 2011
has that same error. It also had both 7415 and 5110 as 24 hours, which may be
available, but never used.
U S A --- WRMI ? RADIO MIAMI INTERNATIONAL
kHz: 9955
Summer Schedule 2011
English/Spanish Days Area kHz
1400-1600 daily NAm 9955rmi
1600-1400 daily LAm 9955rmi
The `NAm` service has been off the air since February 2010, as we have
periodically reconfirmed. Yes, the WRMI grid updated as of May 11 via
http://www.wrmi.net/pb/wp_d12a1732/wp_d12a1732.html
does have the daily 14-16 block color-keyed as to NAm, but that does not make
it so, only in theory. It`s on the same Carib/LAm antenna as at 16-14,
unfortunately, until the NAm one finally may finally be repaired. BTW, the
separate entry for R. Prague, English at 1400 is correctly shown as to LAm, not
NAm.
Target: CHINA (CHN)
TAKAI SHINLINGDE SOUCHI
(KEY TO OPEN THE SPIRIT) (Rlg)
kHz: 7460
Summer Schedule 2011
Mandarin Days Area kHz
1100-1200 daily CHN 7460huw
GH: an obscure service, promoting Taoism, pulled out to draw attention to it
here altho it was in WRTH 2011 page 501, having started a year+ ago. Does it
merit jamming like Falun Gong? (Glenn Hauser, May 13, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
