WOR 1783 / ALASKA / ALBANIA /
** CANADA. 6070, July 21 at 0601 UT, CFRX with new Art Bell show, `Midnight
[sic] in the Desert`, running 8 seconds behind 7490 WBCQ. Apparently not
leaving a hole for stations to insert any network or local news on the hour.
Bell`s website affiliate list has now added CFRX at the top as a SW
** BRAZIL. 11815, July 22 at 0523, RBC music marred by RNA/RNB crackle spur
circa 11813, also around 11846, 11747, 11714 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** EGYPT. After absence of all four 0045+ UT Cairo frequencies the last few
nights, I`m checking earlier July 21:
9965 at 2307 July
** EGYPT. 9965, July 24 at 2354, fair signal but dead air from R. Cairo
presumably during English sesquihour to North America (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. 3905, July 23 at 1145, JBA AM carrier, presumably the currently
active RRI Merauke which Ron Howard has been
** KOREA NORTH [and non]. 6250, July 14 at 1218, mainly noise jamming but some
music modulation. Confusing situation here in Korean Radio War, per Aoki: Echo
of Hope - or Voice of Hope from South to North is here at 0555-2400; Echo of
Unification, from North to South is at 0400-0602, 1200-1402
** ALASKA [and non]. 9920, July 15 at 1300, KNLS IS on poor signal, but atop
another one making fast SAH. That would be FEBC, 100 kW due west from Iba,
PHILIPPINES site at 1300-1330 daily in Koho, a minority language in Vietnam
spoken by 200 kilopersons per EiBi. At 1301, KNLS Chinese
** ALASKA. 7355, July 16 at 1207, I try to hear KNLS` English hour, and do
barely detect the KNLS theme music and something in English; at least no QRM on
this, but incomparably weaker than e.g. CRI in Japanese on 7325 blocking Wantok
Radio Light should it even be on (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
** AUSTRALIA. 17840, July 17 at 0210, RA remains the OSOB, or at least the SSOB
most of the evening; now I pause for some classical music, but it`s just an
illustrative excerpt from Rachmaninoff`s Piano Concerto No. 2, second movement,
back to interview with the artist by Margaret (Throsby)
** BOLIVIA. 6135-, July 19 at 0107, music on surprisingly fair signal, lite het
no doubt from Aparecida; 0110 YL ID clearly ``Radio Santa cruz, la primera``,
back to music. The first what? Certainly the best if not only signal out of S
America on 49m tonight. Too bad about all the storm noise,

about 7.2 kHz away from VG 9550, so spurs from this RHC transmitter.
[I was inspecting the 9545 area where Solomon Islands often runs late past
nominal 0500 switch to 5020, altho today I had a trace of 5020 after 1200,

but it`s joined in progress by 1403. Not at all unusual sloppy-ration (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

explanation or apology; WWV ID
** BRAZIL. 11815, 11745, 11710, July 20 at 0123, heavy crackling spurs from
RNA/RNB 11780 are very much back. Even more so at next check 0137 when many
more of them are audible about 33 kHz apart circa: 11912, (not 11879?), 11846,
11813, 11747, 11714, 11681, (not 11648?), 11615. At 0530 I can

** BIAFRA [non]. 15560, Oct 23 at 1825, very poor S4 signal with talk in
English(?), i.e. clandestine R. Biafra via FRANCE. One more try to hear it
here, but never any better than this for the 18-20 UT broadcast. Those who can
hear it and make
** ALBANIA. 7425, Oct 25 at 0232, R. Tirana has come on late on new frequency.
Since 0220 I was checking this, and the ones I recommended, 7465 or first
choice 7470 (as well as 9850, the A-15 frequency in case it should appear one
hour later this night only). Nothing on them until now. English
** KOREA NORTH [non]. 6020, Friday Oct 23 at 1333, very poor signal with talk
in Korean and distinctive Shiokaze sounders, so still here for the 1330-1430
broadcast from JAPAN, having missed presumed English on Thursday only. May well
jump to another of their alternate 49m channels in November
** BIAFRA [non]. 15560, Oct 25 at 1813, JBA signal with talk, same as
yesterday, so presumably clandestine R. Biafra continues here in B-15
unregistered via France (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ALASKA [and non]. 9680, Oct 29 at 1305, pileup of CCI on the KNLS Chinese
frequency, maybe in the mix, as RTI Chinese and ChiCom jamming are certainly
on, and NHK Japanese is also scheduled now (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING

than // 7355. On a hunch, I compare them on two receivers and find they are
*not* synchronized, but in music hard to time the separation; both stop about
the same time at 1259. Oct 27 at 1405, 9615 is only a JBA

voice, accent, as scheduled this hour via Kashgar, EAST TURKISTAN, poor;
despite KNLS also scheduled in Chinese, maybe lite CCI to CRI? Why in the world
would a station broadcasting to China choose to be on the same
** ALASKA. 7355, Oct 25 at 1256, some pop music, ilk of KNLS, which is still
registered here in B-15 for 12-13 English. Other English is all on 9615 per
HFCC: 08-09 & 10-11 & 12-13 & 14-15. I didn`t check for that before 13 or after

RB2 relay of R. Aparecida, which is also audible on 11856+ and presumably //.
