Manuel M?ndez
Lugo, Espa?a
GUATEMALA. Ante los informes que apuntan a una reactivaci?n de Radio
Cultural Coat?n, en su frecuencia de anta?o de 4780 kHz, he enviado un
e-mail a dicha emisora preguntado por dicha reactivaci?n y esta es la
respuesta del director de la misma, que parece confirmar la definitiva
desaparici?n de esta emisora en la onda corta.
"AHORA YA NO SE TRANSMITE PORQUE EL TRANSMISOR EST? DESTROZADO. POR
ESA RAZON QUE YA NO TRABAJA. POR OTRO LADO LOS RADIORECEPTORES QUE
TIENE 60 METROS CASI YA NO EXISTEN, POR ESO YA NO PENSAMOS EN REPARAR.
ATTE, DOMINGO HERNANDEZ ,DIRECTOR"

** ALBANIA. At midsummer, 11 MHz with lots of signals from Europe in the
nightmiddle, such as Arabic on 11775 at 0609 June 23, kept talking about
Israel. Presumably CRI via Albania as scheduled. Jordan is also registered
here, but don`t recall any reports of it axually using this frequency. Bulgaria
in Spanish was also in on 11800 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake June 23; poor propagation, hi local noise level.
13000, JBA or imagination-level at 1330
13970, poor at 1328
14700, fair at 1330
14970, fair at 1331, weaker than 14700
None others found 8-19 MHz between 1320 and 1336
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [and non]. 13820, R. Mart?, June 23 at 1350 with discussion of
influential Mexican authors. Remarkably, no jamming audible, or maybe traces,
despite huge signals from RHC on 13680 and 13780. But at 1400 the jamming noise
ramped up. Cannot believe the DentroCubans would axually relent depending on
program content (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** FRANCE. 11615, RFI in English, comprehensive news, Wednesday June 23 at
0610, good signal. 170 degrees from Issoudun, 0600-0630. If on the air
weekends, presumably defaults to French. Lucked into a day when they are not
striking (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GREECE. 11645, June 23 at 0612 with Greek music, weaker than adjacent TWR
South Africa 11640. This is supposed to be the English hour of the R. Filia
service, including BBCWS relay (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. 9526-, VOI confirmed on the air June 23 at 1344 only by barely
detecting its carrier on this unique frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** LIBERIA. 4025-, June 23 at 0620, weak carrier detectable slightly low
compared to 5025 Rebelde, presumably Star Radio. Brian Alexander, PA, measured
it 72 hours earlier on 4024.99, which fits nicely (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. Sporadic E on VHF is finally back after a 2-day respite: I leave TV
on channel 2 most of the time waiting for openings. 0014 UT June 23, channel 2
fades up with southerly Spanish, Banco Azteca --- may we assume they never
advertise on Televisa? Is ad break in dubbed Los Simpson which resumed at 0017;
Homer doesn`t sound like Homer, sorry; could Hank Azaria learn Spanish? TV
Guide says it`s the Azteca-7 network. There are six possibilities, Campeche and
Tampico most likely here.
More interesting is CCI on 2 for several minutes from black screen, silent
audio. Who could that be? It`s 10 kHz offset from Simpsons. Then I am getting
commercials in English. Maybe it was XHRIO. From the Dxinfocentre maps, XHCAM
and XHRIO are both offset plus, so that doesn`t fit. XHTAU Tampico and XHDRG
Durango are zero, so could be either of those, if black was XHRIO. Yes, this is
iffy, but who`s counting?
0026 on channel 4, net-5 bug UR, lucha libre? Also WW logo to be seen such as
on interview mike, one W atop the other. Thought it pertains to W network, as
in XEW, radio too, or is it for Wrestling? Weak opening fading in and out; at
0054 saw the WW on mike again, interviewing a bunch of guys in a ring [=
square], but not wearing masks. Net-5 on 4 has a number of possibilities,
including XHD Tampico.
0034 on ch 2, Primer Impacto, which is the Televisa tabloid newsmagazine we
also get on Univisi?n. TV Guide online is giving me trouble, refusing to load
local or international listings. Maybe because the advertising isn`t loading
first? Geez.
0041 on ch 2, preacher in Spanish, with phone number, ``ll?menos al`` starting
with (81), which is the country code for Japan, so it must have been something
within Mexico, or somewhere closer (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO [non]. Re my previous report of a 92.7 relaying XHRR 102.5 Reynosa,
Tamaulipas, ``La Ley``. It is in fact KESO, a fine example of international
cooperation. Steven Wiseblood in Harlingen, for whom these are locals confirms:
``92.7 is definitely transmitting from Port Isabel, relaying 102.5 Reynosa;
funny thing is, they have no ads for Port Isabel or South Padre Island, all the
content is geared to McAllen-Edinburg-Hidalgo. I have absolutely no idea why a
Port Isabel station is being used to relay the Reynosa station, and also why is
there no local content for Port Isabel or South Padre Island. I have confirmed,
however, that the 92.7 transmitter is within 2 miles of downtown Port Isabel,
near the ship channel. Sometimes I secretly wish for the Fairness Doctrine so
that a station like this will at least have to have a few hours of local
content a day, but it is being used now as nothing more than a relay for 102.5
Reynosa, "La Ley"`` (Glenn Hauser, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA [non]. Altho I still think airplane scatter from Vance training
flights affects reception of KSNW-45 Wichita, around 1700 UT June 22 the DTV
signal is popping in a few times per minute for a few seconds each, whether or
not I hear the jet engines, so I think the signal is now ``on the verge`` with
brief fluxuations up to decode level just caused by atmospheric turbulence,
near 100-degree temps.
Then I tried some of the other Wichita market UHF stations. Some of them had no
signal, some had a little signal, but none would pop in like KSNW. Most are
also lower-powered.
Makes me wonder if I had much higher tower, much higher gain, greater capture
area, whether this or other Wichitans would be constantly DTV received, but
somehow doubt it in 200-km range. The one I really want is our nearest PBS
alternative to OETA, KPTS-8, and I`ve yet to get any decode from it this
summer, as it`s always too weak, even when Wichita U`s are pounding in late at
night (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 15550-USB, haven`t heard WJHR in the mornings for weeks, but June 23
at 1403 there it is with one and only preacher, fair signal at peaks. Possibly
it`s on most of the time, but only audible when sporadic-E boosts, certainly
the case now as WWCR 15825 and 13845 are inbooming, plus CB 27 MHz from
Georgia, etc., altho not making it to VHF. It seems WJHR missed being included
in the WRTH 2010. Let this be a lesson: if you are starting a new SW station,
get it on the air by Oct or Nov rather than Dec (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A. Re my previous comments about WBRA-DT Roanoke VA: Trip Ericson points
out that they have decided to stay on channel 3, and are now 9.8 kW ERP
non-direxional. I had been consulting the wrong entry in FCC`s TV Query (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. When I check 4025 for carrier from Liberia, I also check 6025
with BFO on, compared to 5025 Cuba, and June 23 at 0620 there was a very weak
signal slightly on the low side matching 4025-, and some JBA music. If R.
Amanecer, Dominican Republic, were running late again, I would expect more of a
signal from them, and anyhow has been measured about 50 Hz on high side.
Enugu, Nigeria, is supposedly inactive, and propagation rules out Iran or
Malaysia. Bolivia? Does R. Illimani/Patria Nueva ever stay on all night? It
could also be a spur, tho by now most of the bigger signals on 49m have
finished. Bonaire is sleeping. Cuba? Unlikely since all their frequencies end
in -0. For sure it`s not the imaginary KTMI in Oregon, which some lists display
on 6025 from registrations as if it axually existed (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST) ###
