** CHINA. Firedrake July 18, before 1300:
12980, fair at 1227; none in the 11s, 10s
13130, fair at 1238
13530, good at 1226, stronger than 13570 WINB. Thanks to Sound of Hope, this is
a new frequency never before in DXLD per Google search. Would you believe the
top hit was to ``shop for 13530``?? Only previous mentions of 13530 were as a
spur from WINB!
13920, good at 1226
14700, very poor at 1230
There was also one in the 15.4s which was gone by the time I got around to
looking at the dial at 1230. None in the 15s, 16s, 17s; and the 16m SWBC band
was dead
After 1300:
12230, good at 1319
13430, fair at 1320 with CODAR
15560, fair at 1322
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST
** COLOMBIA. 14950.75v, July 18 at 0325, still no sign of Salem Est?reo (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 12300, July 18 at 1235, RHC instantly recognizable talk, very poor
with fadeouts, 2 x 6150 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GERMANY [non]. 9470, July 18 at 0445, DW English to Africa via RWANDA
starting segment from Bolivia about preserving the Aymara language whose
speaker base is steadily declining, but they do have their own Wikipedia site.
Quickly found by searching Aymara at the DW site, unAfrican audio from part of
the `Pulse` program:
http://www.dw.de/popups/popup_single_mediaplayer/0,,16102613_type_audio_struct_266_contentId_16102889,00.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KOREA SOUTH [non]. 9650, July 18 at 1243, KBSWR via CANADA is starting
Wednesday feature I frequently try to catch, `Sounds of Korea`, this time about
a traditional instrument and its master, neither name could I catch, but it`s
flutish. Started with a folk tale about it. VOK could be heard underneath.
Ended at 1259, then a few plaintive iterations of the otherwise now-defunct RCI
IS and IDs in French and English before cut off the air (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. Sporadic E MUF made it into VHF TV now and then UT July 17:
1544 on 2, from SSW, NTSC video with f-bug (Foro TV = net-4 from XHTV) in LR,
`Matutino Express` newscast; and another bug harder to make out in the upper
right: then I can see it`s the Grupo Pac?fico oval with an italic 3 inside. Per
Oglethorpe`s local IDs page for channel 2, link below, this has to be XHQ
Guam?chil, Sinaloa, i.e. relay of XHQ on 3, since its other stations on 2 have
the same design logo with a 2 in it. Guam?chil is about halfway between Los
Mochis and Culiac?n, filling in a coverage gap for the regional network.
2324 on 2, TELEACTIVA bug in white, UR, during film featuring humans and a
horse. Therefore XEFB, Monterrey. Bits of signals in and out past 2400.
UT July 18, 0132: fade in news about Yucat?n more from the SSE than SSW, bug at
lower right I believe is SIPSE with an horizontal oval, and above it 20:32
clock, like the one at the bottom of this page:
http://tvdxtips.com/mexlogosch2.html
Interviewing a military/uniformed guy who mentions ``el malec?n de Progreso``,
i.e. the breakwater at M?rida`s neighboring port city. A very large S N flashes
on screen now and then, maybe meaning Sipse Noticias; XHY-TV fades out in a few
minutes. As for what SIPSE means:
http://sipse.com/corporativo/ ``?Qui?nes Somos? Servicios Informativos y
Publicitarios del Sureste, SIPSE, es el grupo l?der en medios de comunicaci?n
con presencia en tres estados de la Rep?blica Mexicana: Yucat?n, Campeche y
Quintana Roo.
Grupo SIPSE es el ?nico corporativo de la Pen?nsula de Yucat?n, que ofrece
servicios especializados y confiables en los tres medios de mayor importancia
en el pa?s: Radio, Prensa y Televisi?n.
El ?xito de SIPSE, a lo largo de m?s de 47 a?os, radica en la satisfacci?n de
los clientes a trav?s de la solidez de contenidos, propuestas creativas
eficientes, calidad de producci?n y audiencias cautivas en todos nuestros
canales`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ROMANIA. 11830, July 18 at 0502 surprised to hear some French here, then cut
off at 0503 and shortly DRM blast hit 11825-11835. What happened: RRI Galbeni
started this semihour in analog by mistake, HFCC scheduled 0500-0530, 300 kW,
285 degrees in DRM to France. Are they really running `full` power in DRM equal
to AM power? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SPAIN [non]. 9765, July 18 at 0507 surprised to find REE in Spanish // much
stronger 9630 via COSTA RICA. 9765 is not scheduled beyond 15-23 UT, the exact
span depending on M-F, Sat or Sun. The three Cariari frequencies after 0500 are
supposed to be 9630, 5965, 3350. I should have checked which of the others was
missing. Presumably the latest in a long line of operational errors at Cariari
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TAIWAN [and non]. 9665, July 18 at 1245 surprised to hear some Bach here on
a keyboard; normally is KCBS in Korean from NK for whom Bach would be a bit
tame, if not too Western. Also with flutter, or is it SAH? 1247 announcement in
Chinese. 1249 on to some other keyboard music. 1257 all I hear is one carrier,
1300 definitely KCBS starting hyper-emotional assertions in Korean, and no more
SAH.
HFCC is absolutely no help here, not covering any of the three stations
involved as we find in Aoki: RTI in Chinese is here at 12-13 only, and it is of
course *jammed by the ChiCom. KCBS supposedly operates 20-18 altho I was not
hearing it before 1300 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 7506.4, July 18 at 0325, WRNO with VG strength but music has a lot of
distortion and still way off-frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. 12105, July 18 at 1228, Russian service of WTWW-3 is gone
again, just something weak in Chinese, no doubt AWR which is on here from 11 to
16 via Guam or Sri Lanka. Ditto at 1301, 1319. Still nothing from WTWW at next
check 1459-1501+, just CODAR pulses at the rate of exactly two per second

ECUADOR 11 920 google automatic translation:
11920 Wertachtal 2245-0045 UT, Kulina 2245-2300, German 2300-2330, and
probably Portuguese 2330-0115 UT, from August 1st. (wb)
"in mid-June we had our listeners in South America say that the programs
must be broadcast over the place in Chile is set for July 31. Installations
in Calera de Tango Santiago Chile are old, and so it happened again and
again in recent weeks to technical outages, so that a regulated transmission
mode can no longer be maintained.
As an alternative transmitter site, the HCJB-office in Brazil and we have
opted for Wertachtal in Germany after testing programs in the first days of
July, proceeded very successfully. What worries us are preparing to higher
costs. But we want to take it in faith and in the expectation that the
necessary funds for these items are donated. The HCJB longtime manager and
co-founder, Dr. Clarence W. Jones, said: "When God gives a company in order,
then it makes even more necessary for the donor."
Due to cost, we will reduce the transmission time for South America of a
half an hour. The programs are at the same time, sent it on a different
frequency, which promises even better reception.
Here are the dates, valid from 1 August:
Brasilia and Buenos Aires Time: 20:00 clock, Asuncion time: 19:00 clock
frequency: 11920 kHz in the 25 meter band. Fifteen minutes before being sent
on the frequency of the program in the Kulina Indian language. After the
German half-hour comes on the same frequency, the Portuguese Radio
HCJB-Brazil. "
(Horst Rosiak-EQA, via hcjb Quito Ecuador)
... does mean: 11920 kHz is used exclusively. 11 925 kHz Radio Bandeirantes
should disturb not really ...
(Walter Eibl-D, A-DX July 19)
ECUADOR 11920 "Mitte Juni mussten wir unseren Hoerern in Suedamerika
mitteilen, dass die Sendungen ueber die Sendestelle in Chile zum 31. Juli
eingestellt werden muessen. Die Anlagen in Chile sind alt, und so kam es in
den letzten Wochen immer wieder zu technischen Ausfaellen, so dass ein
geregelter Sendebetrieb nicht mehr aufrecht erhalten werden kann.
Als alternativen Sendestandort haben das HCJB-Buero in Brasilien und wir uns
fuer Wertachtal in Deutschland entschieden, nachdem Testsendungen in den
ersten Julitagen sehr erfolgreich verliefen. Was uns Sorge bereitet sind die
hoeheren Kosten. Aber wir wollen es im Glauben wagen und in der Erwartung,
dass die notwendigen Mittel fuer diese Sendungen gespendet werden. Der HCJB
Mit-begruender und langjaehrige Leiter Dr. Clarence W. Jones sagte: "Wenn
Gott ein Unternehmen in Auftrag gibt, dann sorgt er auch immer fuer die
noetigen Geber".
Aus Kostengruenden werden wir die Sendezeit fuer Suedamerika von einer auf
eine halbe Stunde reduzieren. Die Programme werden zur gleichen Uhrzeit,
doch auf einer anderen Frequenz gesendet, die auch einen besseren Empfang
verspricht.
Hier nun die Daten, gueltig ab dem 1. August: Zeit Brasilia und Buenos
Aires: 20:00 Uhr, Zeit Asuncion: 19:00 Uhr Frequenz: 11920 kHz im 25
Meter-Band. Eine Viertelstunde zuvor wird auf der Frequenz das Programm in
der Kulina-Indianersprache gesendet. Nach der deutschsprachigen halben
Stunde kommt auf der gleichen Frequenz das portugiesische Programm von Radio
HCJB-Brasilien."
(Horst Rosiak-EQA, via hjb)
... soll heissen: 11920 kHz wird ausschliesslich eingesetzt. 11925 kHz Radio
Bandeirantes sollte eigentlich nicht stoeren ...
