Tirana is mostly humroar, but some music detectable under it. At 0157 I notice some crackle circa 9827, suspect it`s out of same transmitter, and it goes off at 0158 just about when 9854.95 does (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** BANGLADESH. 15505, Sept 16 at 1359, Bangladesh Betar is very weak, but can hear the IS, and the 5+1 mis-timesignal ending at 1359:52, Urdu service opening theme. If timesignal hits 1400:00 it will only be a coincidence as in past it could be several seconds either side (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** EGYPT. 9320-9330, Sept 16 at 0207, big S8 blob of R. Cairo peaking at 9325 with peaks sounding like talk modulation, but totally incomprehensible. This is obviously coming out of the main blob 9310-9320, peaking at 9315, same S8 but lacking any talkish sounds, just the roar where English to North America is scheduled (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** INDONESIA. 9525.895, Sept 16 at 1305, VOI is S5-S8 and can tell there`s some talk, in presumed English, yet readability is still R=0, and there seems to be some pulsating hum along with the modulation (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** INDONESIA. 11405, 11410, 11425, 11435, 11440, Sept 16 at 1318, all USB, presumed QSO pirates from here. 11435 is best, 11440 has a pileup, and 11425 includes some singing. Ironically, these can come in better than VOI on 9526-v (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** IRAN. 9550, Sept 16 at 0201, YL & YL with news in Spanish, mostly about the Islamic Republic of Iran, implying it is really VIRI as scheduled 0020-0320 via Sirjan to South America. Surprised they would be doing news at the top of real hours rather than the top of askew Iranian hours. S9-S7 fading and undermodulated. // 12025 is but a JBA carrier (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** MEXICO. 1300, Sept 16 at 0220, 8 y 19 minutos timecheck, from ``Radio Mexicana, la m?sica ---``. XEP, Ju?rez as usual dominant signal at night, but plenty QRM too. Impossible to believe it`s 200 watts at night rather than 38,000 watts day power (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** RUSSIA. 5900, Sept 16 at 1252, JBA carrier, presumed R. Rossii, Vladivostok; the other reactivated Russian SW station, R. Sakha, 7295, Sept 16 at 1252, JBA carrier is even weaker (or could be an ham); not a good propagation day for them (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** TURKEY [and non]. 9465, Sept 16 at 0205, Qur`an at S4. Only thing scheduled is TRT in Uyghur this hour, but Voice of Turkey is not known for Qur`aning, being a secular state/station, altho the Islamists seem to be in ascendancy. During long pauses, sounds like an understation talking, at first thought maybe Iran Spanish // 9550 which I had just heard? But too weak to tell. Instead, the understation could be Turkey and the overstation something new and unknown (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U K [non]. 5810, Sept 16 at 1249, S6-S8 poor signal, talk with accent but seems English. See UNID log of yesterday. On theory that it is BBCWS, I check 6195 which is certainly BBCWS via Singapore --- or as HFCC still labels it, `Kranji (Merlin)`! And it matches, furthermore, just about synchronized, but 5810 could still be a different site, such as Nakhon Sawan, Thailand. The current HFCC page for BBCWS still does not show any entry for 5810! What do they know? http://hfcc.org/data/schedbybrc.php?seas=A16&broadc=BBC So it`s on 5810 for at least two days in a row, rather than jumping around (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A [and non].

Probably a fluke it`s so close to 7505.000 at the moment (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 1170, Sept 16 at 0221 UT, KFAQ Tulsa with talk, and can`t detect any gospel huxter understation, so seems as if WWVA Wheeling has finally fixed its night pattern to protect us from it (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) UNIDENTIFIED. 9275, Sept 16 at 1300, open carrier at S6, plus some intermittent non-English, non-Spanish, Asian? language very weak 2-way USB demodulated by it; still the same at 1320. The only known broadcaster on 9275 anywhen is WMLK, Pennsylvania, which has been struggling to keep its `new` transmitter operational, has been off for a few weeks but will presumably come back eventually; normally operates only in local afternoons altho Aoki shows a possible span of 1400-2100 (never on Sabbaths! So be sure to check on Friday). Not as strong as 125 kW should be, but stronger and steadier than one would expect from E Asia, yet could also pertain to the China radio war, which could show up anywhere (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) This report despatched at 1532 UT September 16 ------------------------------ Message: 5 Date: Fri, 16 Sep 2016 19:23:47 +0000 From: Ivo Observer <ivo.obser...@gmail.com> To: frequenc...@bnr.bg Subject: [HCDX] SWLDXBulgaria News Sept.16 Message-ID: <canvtgkdkqdqi246e-+vnna638utl6mctq5btsju-an-vxvk...@mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 FRANCE(non) Poor signal of Radio Xoriyo Ogaden via TDF Issoudun, Sept.16 1600-1630 on 17870 ISS 500 kW / 130 deg to EaAf Somali Mon/Fri + jamminghttp://swldxbulgaria.blogspot.bg/2016/09/poor-signal-of-radio-xoriyo-ogaden-via.html GREMANY(non) Poor signal of Voice of Oromo Liberation via MBR Nauen on Sept.16 1700-1730 on 15420 NAU 100 kW / 139 deg to EaAf Afar Oromo Wed/Fri/Sun + jamminghttp://swldxbulgaria.blogspot.bg/2016/09/poor-signal-of-voice-of-oromo_16.html GUAM Weak ignal of Trans World Radio Asia KTWR Agana, Sept.16 1527-1600 on 12120 TWR 100 kW / 293 deg to SEAs English Mon-Sathttp://swldxbulgaria.blogspot.bg/2016/09/weak-ignal-of-trans-world-radio-asia.html INDIA Another unscheduled English broadcast of All India Radio on Sept.16: 1315-1530 on 11560 PAN 500 kW / 300 deg to WeAs Dari/Pashto as scheduled A16 1530-1537 on 11560 PAN 500 kW / 300 deg to WeAs English, unscheduled programhttp://swldxbulgaria.blogspot.bg/2016/09/another-unscheduled-english-broadcast.html PHILIPPINES Weak signal of Radio Teos via FEBC, Sept.16 1500-1600 on 11650 BOC 100 kW / 323 deg to CeAs Russian:http://swldxbulgaria.blogspot.bg/2016/09/weak-signal-of-radio-teos-via-febc.html SECRETLAND vs RUSSIA SPL Brother HySTAIRical vs Adygeyan Radio on Sept.16 1800-1900 on 6000*ARM 100 kW / 188 deg to CeAs Ad/Ar/Tu Mon Adygeyan Radio 1800-1900 on 6000*ARM 100 kW / 188 deg to CeAs Adygeyan Fri Adygeyan Radio 1900-2000 on 6000*ARM 100 kW / 188 deg to CeAs Adygeyan Sun Adygeyan Radio *strong co-ch 6000 SCB 050 kW / 015 deg to EaEu Brother HySTAIRical at 1807http://swldxbulgaria.blogspot.bg/2016/09/spl-brother-hystairical-vs-adygeyan_16.html U.K.(non) Very good signal of Radio Rainbow via BaBcoCk Grigoriopol, Sept.16 1600-1630 on 7575 KCH 500 kW / 116 deg to WeAs Farsi Mon/Fri Radio Ranginkamanhttp://swldxbulgaria.blogspot.bg/2016/09/very-good-signal-of-radio-rainbow-via_16.html U.K.(non) Very good signal of Sedoye Bahar via BaBcoCk Grigoriopol, Sept.16 1730-1800 on 7495 KCH 500 kW / 116 deg to WeAs Farsi Thu/Fri Voice of Springhttp://swldxbulgaria.blogspot.bg/2016/09/very-good-signal-of-sedoye-bahar-via.html U.K.(non) Reception of Radio Payem e-Doost via BaBcoCk Grigoriopol, Sept.16 1800-1845 on 7480 KCH 500 kW / 116 deg to WeAs Farsi, very good signal todayhttp://swldxbulgaria.blogspot.bg/2016/09/reception-of-radio-payem-e-doost-via.html UNIDentified strong open carrier, Sept.16 1430-1600 on 9300 unknown tx, daed airhttp://swldxbulgaria.blogspot.bg/2016/09/unidentified-strong-open-carrier-on.html -- 73!

It's listed as 50kw non directional, but solely based upon the signal I get from it everyday here in Alaska., there's no way it's non directional. BUT, a google map trip was taken and the ZBC site found, showing what is clearly a directional antenna set up. Also, I'd love to know what the power and beam/azimuth for Radio Guinea 9650khz in Conarky, Guinea is. A friend and I located on googlemaps what we re pretty sure is their shortwave transmitting site, right in Conarky! The site looks like 6 towers in an arched backwards C configuration ZBC's 11735 power is listed but the beam isn't correct. I haven't seen Radio Guinea's power/pattern/beam details anywhere. Any ideas? I have my theories on Radio Conarky based on the signal I'm hearing but I don't want to taint anyone elses ideas. ------------------------------ Message: 7 Date: Sat, 17 Sep 2016 02:49:20 +0200 From: "Stig Hartvig Nielsen" <hart...@wmr.dk> To: "'Hard-Core-DX'" <Hard-core-dx@hard-core-dx.com> Subject: [HCDX] The Azores Message-ID: <000101d2107d$53d72210$fb856630$@wmr.dk> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" I spent a couple of days in the Azores earlier this month. It is an amazing place for transatlantic MW DX. Using 100 meters of wire on the ground and a simple portable radio a lot of transatlantic stations were audible at sunrise: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j7WF7qp-X8o After this fantastic morning I drove a bit inland and made a FM band scan: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-8VyMVPgys All MW stations in the Azores are inactive - except RTP 'Antena 1', Flores, on 828 and AFRTS on 1503 kHz. I believe AFRTS is on the air 24 hours a day but 'Antena 1' is off air at night - probably signing on a 0700 or 0730.

However, I finally got a report of both this and 9570 Russian service being on air at same time, Sept 9 at 1830, per Thorsten Hallmann, Germany.

Sept 16 after 19 UT, since it seems to DF from the south rather than the north, I drive to the south side of Enid, and take Southgate Blvd eastward. I stop every mile to take a DF on the DX-398 --- at intersexions with Streets 30, 42, 54, 66, 78 --- and each time I can tell it`s getting closer to N/S from the original NNW/SSE I had been getting in central and northern Enid. This confirms it is indeed from the south side. Finally at 1942 UT, past Woodring Airport and Koch Nitrogen, when I reach 90th Street, it`s just about due south. That`s enough for today; unfortunately 90 is a dirt road I prefer to avoid, but maybe back when it`s not too dry and not too wet, or approach it from the other side, and/or get some more fixes on it from other angles to triangulate. I`m still getting no signals on 297 or 198 kHz, whence beacons might have been pr oducing harmonic. 594 so far is perhaps only slightly stronger than I am getting it further north (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** PERU. 5980, Sept 17 at 0058, JBA carrier from R. Chaski as I wait for its auto-cutoff, which happens at 0058:28*. First chance I`ve had to compare it to its latest reset, which was a fortnight ago, Sept 3 until 0058:38*, 10 seconds later than today, so the expected ~6.5 second recession per noctem has not occurred! It should have reached 0100:00* by now. Need to check more often to divine what`s happening (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** SRI LANKA. 11905, Sept 17 at 0115:17, 2+1 mis-timesignal ends from SLBC after pr?lude music, opening Hindi or Bengali, only S2 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** THAILAND. Re my BBC on new 5810, Wolfgang B?schel points out that altho HFCC doesn`t show it, latest Aoki does as having started Sept 9: ``5810* BBC 1200-1400 1234567 English 250 25 Nakhon Sawan THA a16`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) * means jammed by the ChiCom ** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1843 monitoring: confirmed Friday September 16 at 2130.5 on WRMI, 13695, excellent. Also confirmed Fri Sept 16 at 2330 on WBCQ, 9330.0-CUSB, good S9+10.

Politix right away: Allan thinx Democrats are Communists bent on imposing a New World Order, and wants to vote for Trump, hoping his girlfriend isn`t listening and won`t leave him. Says he`s trimulcasting, also on 5130 and 3250. I don`t measure the 7, but the others at 0038: 3250.005 which is synchro with 7490, and 5129.85 which is half a sesquiminute delayed. 3250 is poor in noise level, but stronger than before. Program news from Robert at 0111: New `Mitch & Cathy (sp?) Show`, starts Sept 24, Saturdays 8-9 pm EDT [UT Sundays 00-01], on 7490, taking away one of J.P.`s three hours of `Shortwave Saturday Night`, unfortunately: maybe will put him on 3250 instead. At 0102 I note that 9330 is off after Blalock, rather than joining AWWW or playing back a previous one. The `Reverb Madness` show has stopped, as the producer was not getting any response, was Thursdays 8-9 pm on 7490 [UT Fridays 00-01]. Allan`s benedixion at 0117, and ending at 0123, back to BS on 7490. Then I check 3250v again and there seem to be two carriers, around 3250.02 and 3250.75 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 9275, Sept 16 at 1818, there it is, WMLK indeed back on the air, poor signal checked only on the PL-880, but sure sounds like EJOM, deceased. (Neighbor 9265 WINB is not on air this early: 9265 is still shown on WMLK webpage as its frequency!) So that explains the unID open carrier I was getting as early as 1300 today. They have been posting on their Facebook about repair progress, but now it is inaccessible (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 7505v, Sept 17 at 0055, WRNO not only is on tonight, but on earlier than nominal 0100, gospel huxter at S9+25 but undermodulated. Another check at 0112, g.h. is saying ``we`re in a brand new year, 2,014``; with BFO engaged, I discover at 0113 it suddenly starting to take off, driftin downward to about 7504.90 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) UNIDENTIFIED. 11521.10-USB, Sept 17 at 0050, weak 2-way colloquial Spanish INTRUDERS, way too close to 11520-AM WEWN English --- unless they are trying to hide in its splash, yet able to hear each other (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) This report dispatched at 0315 UT September 17 End of Hard-Core-DX Digest, Vol 165, Issue 20 *********************************************
