ANT: 100m Longwire/Randomwire
ACC: Palstar MW-550P Mediumwave Preselector
5130 15 OCT, 1718 UTC, UNID, poss. Radio Maranatha, Kyrgyzstan. Heard with long winded religious-sounding soft talk by a man. The language was not oriental, and sounded more like Farsi. At 1730, short pieces of gospel music were played, done by a mixed chorus to guitar and piano. After that there were two long selections done by a woman and then dead air after 1743.
AOKI lists this from 1457 to 1743. I guess they just keep the carrier on or make adjustments, etc. Perfect signal with no QRM except for about 30 seconds at 1730 due to 4-level FSK bursting about 3 kHz down. With this signal strength it should easily make it to Europe and Asia.
Had a really bad power line noise since yesterday which finally went away this afternoon. I spent most of my free day today watching my favorite horror movies, and cleaning my side arm. Hope everyone else's DX day went better than this!

No time to sit down and complile the loggings until now. Otherwise, I would've sent them out in a more timely fashion!! Anyway, here is what's been heard in the last month.
GERMANY 15225 Baati Rewmi R. (via Germany) Carrier on at 1814. Pgm start at 1815 w/Hi-life mx and opening anmnt in EG by W as "Hello citizens of The Gambia and friends of The Gambia, this is ?? speaking, wanting to talk to you on Baati Rewmi, The Voice of Our Nation. Todays episode is clearly a discussion about the role of the citizen in nation building and nation development.". Cont. mx, then tlk by same W anncr in EG w/sound bites. Mentioned "So Gambians, ask not what Gambia can do for you, but what you can do for Gambia". Closing anmnt over Hi-life mx again at 1829, and off. Nice to hear an entire pgm in EG. (18 Sept.)
GUINEA 4899.97 Familia FM 2137-0001* A lot of mx, and tlks in FR. Again, went over 0000 ToH w/out any anmnts and off suddenly at 0001. Not very good and QRMed from CODAR. (18-19 Sept.)

BOLIVIA 4699.96 R San Miguel 0936 LA Rom. Pop mx. 0943 live M anncr w/song and TC anmnt. Pause, ID, then back to mx.

More mx past ToH. (24 Sept.)
PERU 4746.96 R Huanta Dos Mil 0953 ad block at t/in. Nx pgm w/M host at 1002 retune. ID then into very long ad block 1005-1035. Some pauses between ads. One at 1020 had Rooster SFX. Live M returned at 1035. Starting to fade at 1015. Tuned out at 1041. Nice signal this morning. (24 Sept.)
MONGOLIA 7295 Traxx FM 1048 Pop mx. Simple very short "Traxx FM" ID by M w/SFX at ToH, and cont. Pop mx. 1054 M and W pgm hosts in EG, then back to Pops a minute later. 1059 jingle w/song snippets, one short and one long time tone at 1100, then M w/nx to 1110. W pgm host w/ment of pgm "Drive-By" and Kuala Lumpur. Fairly good but the Asian propagation sound made it kind of tough to copy. (24 Sept.)
TAIWAN 9734.88 R. Taiwan Int. (pres.) In Asian lang at *1100. Apparently RTI in JP to NE Asia at this time per sked. Adjusted to 9735 by 26 Sept. (24 Sept.)

2031 full ID w/web site. Mx pgm after 2040. 2105 same canned EG ID hrd at beginning of EG svc, then off at 2106*. Fair signal and clear for the first half hour then bleedover QRM. Didn't really expect to hear this when I tuned in. (27 Sept.)
CANADA 6160 CKZU 0930 CKZN was fading deeply like an AM signal allowing CKZU to come in easily readable at times. CKZU had the tlk segment focusing on regional subjects, including one ment of CBC Vancouver, and the University of British Columbia. CKZN has consistently been on 6159.95 for a while now, and CKZU is on 6160 if not about 10 hz higher. (2 Oct.)
CANADA 6160 CKZU Nx "CBC News Roundup" pgm to 1004. (3 Oct.)
MONGOLIA 12085 V.O. Mongolia 0958 end of song, unintelligible anmnts by W, then usual IS played 3 times. Anmnt by M then W, and mx. Very weak w/12080 slop QRM, so had to use USB. Still waiting for this to get stronger with the new solar cycle. (8 Oct.)
INDONESIA 3325 RRI Palangkaraya 1022 Koran, mx at 1027 recheck and W in IN at 1030. Pop mx pgm then. W at 1100 briefly, mx bridge, then M w/very brief probable ID w/ment of Indonesia, IS played 3 times, time ticks 1101, W w/RRI ID, then nx began w/another ID. Best hrd in a while. (10 Oct.)
GUINEA Finally got Guinea verified, and not RTVG as I'd hoped for years. Got a n/d e-confirmation from Luarent Koulemou at Familia FM in 27 days. Here's the text:
"Dear Dave
My name is Luarent KOULEMOU i'm the technical director of the radio station that you listen.
I confirm that radio you year is our radio sation, and we broadcast every night between 6 o clock PM to 00 oclock. Our transmitter is 1000 watt because we have not a lot off money for the big transmiter. Our frequency is 4.900MHZ.
If you like telle more abote your appreciation.Our focus is only to couverge our country Guinea. we broadcast in Pular,susu, maninka and kp?l? language. there are our country language.
Execuse for the more time to reply, I was in intreior of the country.
Thank and God bless you."
According to the NASWA radio country list (if anyone still uses it), I believe that's C/V #56 in Africa. Think I'm averaging about 1 new country verified every 10 years now!! (15 October)
GUATEMALA R Verdad Got another e-mail from Edgar Madrid stating they hope to have their old higher power xmtr on the air on the 25 Oct. Now's the time to get them at 50 watts. (15 Oct.)

** AFGHANISTAN [non]. 15680, good with talk, mentions of Iran, Oct 15 at 1303; 1305 ID as Radio Azadi, into music, then with slow talkover it. A.k.a. Radio Free Afghanistan, which alternates Pashto and Dari from 0230 to 1330 with lots of site changes, but the final hour is in Pashto via Wertachtal, GERMANY, before ceding 15680 to Radio Farda for another four hours (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LI STENING DIGEST)
** ANTARCTICA [and non]. 15476, LRA36, Friday Oct 15 carrier detectable at 1309, much weaker than 15480, Poland in Russian via Woofferton UK (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. Brazilian DXers in radioescutas are reporting that Radio Inconfid?ncia, Belo Horizonte, Brasil, has finally reactivated 15190, as of 1700 UT Oct 13. Reports, please. Possibly could be // to 6010 if that be active.
Aoki shows this is what it is up against, especially WYFR also in Portuguese at 22-01:

15190 FAMILY RADIO 0000-0100 1234567 English 100 142 Okeechobee USA 08056W 2727N WYFR a10
At 2352 UT Oct 14, there is definitely a het on WYFR, approximately 15190.2? Not there before and presumably R. Inconfid?ncia. (And YFR continues in Portuguese past 0007, not switching to English at 0000 as in Aoki). YFR should go off at 0045, so can we hear Belo Horizonte then? BTW, HFCC is also wrong with YFR in Spanish at 22-01 on 15190.
Yes, in the clear at 0046 Oct 15 as I hear a bit of classical music, seems Mozart, before announcement, and then more music. Now with WYFR out of the way it`s easier to count the 40-Hz clix on the DX-398 once synched with WWVH 15000. It`s about 15190.5. Poor signal, with fading.
Pleased to hear classical music on this! But it`s not the full format.
AM 880 is indeed in a classical music hour, per schedule and then heard online:
http://www.inconfidencia.com.br/modules/programacao/players/pop_am.php
``Mestres da M?sica, 21h ?s 22h, Com Pedro Lobato, Biografia e obras mais conhecidas dos grandes g?nios da m?sica cl?ssica.``
Final piece of music sounded like someone`s national anthem. I could even hear scratches on the LP (webcast, not SW). Outro at 0100 plugs this show as audible worldwide on the website, but no mention of SW!
Here`s the AM 880 program schedule, but you have to click on each show to find out the times (UT -3). (From Oct 17, UT -2!)
http://www.inconfidencia.com.br/modules/programacao
Seems to be a `full-service` station with a little of everything, including news, sports, talkshows, and some other classical music. News and ads followed after 0100.
Still listening to webcast, 0107 full ID includes ZYE521 on 6010 AND ZYE522 on 15190, as well as 880 AM and 100.9 FM. (I suspect they have been announcing 15190 all along despite years of inactivity.) There are separate AM and FM streams, and apparently different programming tho some of the shows are on both at different times.
WRTH says 880 is ZYL275, one of a handful of Brazilian MW stations rated 100 kW, while 15190 is only 5 kW. Will it be running 24 hours? What is the schedule on 6010? It has big QRM problems from Canada, Cuba, Mexico, Colombia for starters.
This is the only Brazilian active on 19m, tho there have been occasional reports of 15325, R. Gazeta. It`s also the highest Brazilian SWBC frequency, unless R. Cultura S?o Paulo ever reactivates 17815.
It should be noted that the R. Africa schedule varies widely, so it may not be colliding with ZYE522 at all possible hours listed. My differing off-frequency estimates correlate with those of Brian Alexander, in Pennsylvania who was hearing this tentatively Oct 14 at 2125 on 15190.49, drifting down to 15190.12 by 2150 (and no R. Africa being heard).
Now that I`ve had a chance to read all the radioescutas posts about this, it was first heard Oct 13 around 1855 UT by Paulo Michelon in Porto Alegre. Danilo Nonato contacted the engineer at R. Inconfid?ncia the next day, Marcus Starling, who said the transmitter was fired up around 1700 UT Oct 13, after 20 years off the air.
The website has a `fale conosco` form for contacting the station, but Starling was offering to QSL e-mail reception reports to directoria @ inconfidencia.com.br I sent one, but no reply yet. He was quite satisfied by the reports received so far, and compared to the resuscitation of this transmitter with the rescue of the Chilean miners from near-death; shortwave lives! Danilo Nonato suggests this e-mail instead: mstarbhz @ gmail.com

?dison Bocorny Jr., in Novo Hamburgo, Rio Grande do Sul, was getting it at 2130 Oct 14, but strong QRM and het from WYFR. Also says he heard Gazeta only last week on 15325, tho we never see any reports of that from outside Brasil.
Next day Oct 15 on 15190 I am looking for R. Inconfid?ncia earlier. At 1633: nothing audible on or near the frequency. Next check 1815, now there is something, all-talk, barely audible. Does not sound Portuguese, or English from R. Africa, but at 1831 ID as R. Pilipinas [see PHILIPPINES], on 15190.1, and signs of a very weak second signal.
At 2115, something JBA on 15190; if R. Africa were on, it would be easily audible, so is this R. Inconfid?ncia again? South America is propagating, as on 15345 Morocco has QRM from slightly off-frequency RAE. Apparently it was, as Mark Davies, UK, sent us a clip including Inconfid?ncia mention at 2110:

** CANADA. Sackville relay observations Oct 15: on 6175, after a few sex of dead-air at tune-in, following Vietnam relay, VTC fill music loop starts at 0527:30 and cuts off at 0529:00, but first the ``a-da`` portion of the RCI ``O, Canada`` IS. I happened to be monitoring two receivers, the other on 6110 at the end of the NHK relay, and could not help but notice that both 6110 and 6175 went off the air at the same instant. That might explain why 6175 stays on until 0529 with the music loop fill, so they can Pull the Big Switch on both of them at once (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake Oct 15:
10500, JBA with flutter at 1254. Axually, it was so poor it could have been Sound of Hope instead, but certainly I will not conclusionjump.
By 1300 I had bandscanned up to 15000 and found no others.
15521, het against Turkey 15520, Oct 15 at 1301-1302*, no doubt ChiCom chasing V. of Tibet via Tajikistan (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. Tho REE 6055 was super-strong Oct 15 at 0531, could not even detect a carrier from RHC on 6060, so chalk up another anomaly; while 5970 and 6010 were going strong in English, 6150 as usual undermodulated by comparison. BTW, the MUF was around 10 MHz at this time, nothing at all audible above that even if RHC was running 11760 again (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CYPRUS. 14895-14920, OTH radar pulses, presumed from here, or somewhere around Europe, Oct 15 at 1259. Conditions from that area are much improved today around 15 MHz (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GUATEMALA. 4055-, R. Verdad carrier detectable Oct 15 at 0517, ever so slightly on low side vs REE 6055, some talk modulation (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** JAPAN [and non]. TP MW bandscan Oct 15: on the DX398 in USB position, upward from 1213 UT: carriers detected on 747, 774, 783, 828, 972, three of which are likely to be the usual NHK super-powers. Whenever I hear JOBB 828, it brings back fond memories of my visit to Osaka for Expo 70 (tho it was then on 830). Downward in LSB position from 1218, did not hear those or any others. So over to MEXICO on 10-kHz channels (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KURDISTAN [non]. 11530, V. of Mesopotamia, Oct 15 at 1335 with great concert of minor-key music, few if any announcements until 1400 5-pip timesignal, 9.5 seconds late, into talk, news? Once again we have the terrorist PKK and TDP to thank for some fine Friday-evening entertainment, good but fluttery signal (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. XE sunrise skip window Oct 15: I concentrate on the lower half of the band, where there is much less stateside QRM.
610, at 1223 UT, ads mentioning Sinaloa, mixed with federal government PSAs, one about the constituci?n; something selling for 125 pesos por litro. Ad mentioning Guasave; that price resung several times. 1226 singing ID sounds like ``--CM, La ---``, automated YL TC for 6:26, music.
WRTH 2010 has this as XEGS, LaGS/La Ley, Guasave, 1/0.5 kW. Cant? http://mexicoradiotv.com/listsina.htm agrees on the slogan, the logo being a 6-pointed Star-of-David-like badge. I assume that`s just a gimmick, rather than axually being run by law-enforcement.
800, at 1234, news with W&M alternating about latest local murders and other crimes, 1236 6:36 TC. Nulling KQCV OKC, which puts far too much signal here at only 2.5 kW, with which it makes a slow SAH of somewhat less than 1 Hz, fortunately close to a right angle away.
Surely XEROK Ciudad Ju?rez, Chihuahua, the only Mexican on 800 between Coahuila and a peanutwhistle in Tijuana, but are they really running 150 kW any more? Note my results on groundwave from NM in August, not penetrating like it should with that much power.
WRTH spells it Radio Ca?on, perpetuating the erroneous aversion, even by natives, to putting an accent on the ? as required orthographically; same problem with R. Mara??n, Per?. They love their enyes, but ignore their acutes.
870, at 1228 YL in Indian language, could be Tarahumara or a couple of others, pronouncing calls in Spanish, XETAR, and then mentioning town Guachochi a few times in passing. Fair signal but no QRM, as usual during SRS peak.
990, at 1230, ID but missed, just ``5 mil watts de potencia`` and street address too fast to copy; no Rosary. Per WRTH 2010, that power fits only for XEER in Cuauht?moc, Chih., previous prime suspect, and for XEHZ in Pa Paz, BCS.
1050, at 1244, Spanish music from WSW so can`t be XEG; UNAM PSA, so can`t be American. Per WRTH, best bet looks like XEBCS La Paz, R. Cultural Surcalifornia, but could be XED Mexicali, both 10 kW day power (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NEWFOUNDLAND [and non]. 3485-USB, Oct 15 at 0521, VOLMET for Canadian cities such as Toronto, Ottawa, Gander, Montreal.
Per http://www.dxinfocentre.com/volmet.htm this is VFG, Gander, which starts at :20 and :50 minutes past each hour, frequency shared with New York Radio, WSY70, starting at :00 and :30, but that has been inactive (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
Regarding New York Radio VOLMET, this Notice to Airmen is current:
A2755/10 - QSVAS VOLMET 3.485 U/S. WIE UNTIL UFN. CREATED: 24 JUN 16:26 2010
U/S means unserviceable or not working. WIE means with immediate effect or effective immediately (Mike Cooper, Oct 14, DXLD) And UFN means until further notice
** OKLAHOMA. 1670, the 1317 Cansler Drive talking house on the west side of Enid continues to be heard much stronger than before, as far east as downtown Enid, well atop the co-channel hash from other THs. So Oct 14 around 1815 UT I drive to that address to confirm whether it`s still there. Previous photo:
http://www.w4uvh/net.1670th1317ca.jpg
Nothing parked there now, and yes, no doubt about it, same old spiel at local level, nothing about renting it but a new sign has been added, so it`s also for rent. Realtor Greg Winkeljohn, on behalf of his hungry family of nine, must be getting desperate to dispose of this property, turned up the power on the unit inside, so a wider radius will hear about it, but forget about any DX on 1670 or listening to WTDY at night. Looked around the outside for any signs of an antenna, but nothing visible besides cable TV runs. And a bonus hornets` nest by one of the windows (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. Tropo up from OKC area, UT Oct 15 at 0320 bringing in the analog LPTVs, not only 36, but weaker 48, 19, and signs of something on 21, but --- nothing on channel 17, one of the usual 17/19/21 triumvirate. And KLHO-17 has been missing for a while, so I suspect it has been turned off and reactivated as DTV on channel 31, KLHO-LD, a CP which has been on the books; and thus it is buried under local KXOK-LD 31 Enid, like several other OK 31`s (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. More morning tropo Oct 15 produced some analog CCI on channel 48, 10 kHz offset apart, just like the good old days, at 1448 UT. Original 48 being KWTW, the Univisi?n relay in Nichols Hills duplicating much stronger ch 36. But what else could it be on 48? Rotating antenna way from OKC direxion, I get a peak on this from the northeast, much stronger than KWTW now, but the NE station is also carrying Univisi?n, and including OKC ad breakaway unlike otherwise // but unsynchronized direct satellite feed of UV on Enid cable 61; plus OKC ID slide at 1459 including KWTW.
I rotate the antenna full 360 to be sure I am not fooled that it`s really from some other direxion. Yes, peaks from northeast, but the video is ghosty, sometimes with vertical sync problems, as if a translator is picking up the wrong signal off the side of its receiving antenna.
W9WI.com shows 48 lowpowers in OK are in Altus, Buffalo, Elk City, McAlester, none in this direxion, and not a single 48 in Kansas. Looks like it has to be KELF-LP in Miamuh, the NE corner of OK, with a respectable 98.4 kW. KRSC-36 is also in from Claremore not too far away, with Classic Arts on virtual 35-1, own programming on 35-2.
KELF is licensed to Family Media, Inc., with a local Miami address. This is similar to but not identical to KSBI-51 and its widespread translator network, Family Broadcasting Group, Inc. But per http://www.ksbitv.com/news/coveragearea it does not extend to Miami.
Trouble is, the direxion of this 48 is really northeast from here, too far north of the Miami and Claremore azimuth. There is a 48 in Kansas City with a U-in the call, might be Univisi?n, but surely not including OKC ID and ads! Also, KWTW is offset-zero, so the unID is offset plus or minus. KELF is listed as plus. Started to fade out at 1520 UT and gone a few minutes later. A real mystery! (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. Until now, KOCB-33 OKC has not had any subchannels, but one has appeared UT Oct 15 at 0401, nothing but rock music videos, with bug lower-right as THECOOLTV, and PSIP Cool TV as 34-2. Website is http://thecooltv.com/ and here is the station list:
http://thecooltv.com/ChannelGuide.php
and it does already list KOCB OKC 34.2, but most of the [cable?] channels are ``TBA``. Looks like some of the videos are oldies, axually on film! E.g. Rock Me Amadeus, by Falco; Fine Young Cannibals. Later caught a KOCB 34.2 ID inserted. How nice to have a channel with music videos only, unlike MTV or VH1.
There remain lots more potential virtual channels on OKC stations going to waste (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. KWTV OKC has finally turned off RF channel 9, which since the beginning of Sept had been running nothing but a silent slide that programming is no longer available. Oct 15 at 0405 UT, punching in:
39-1, displays as 9-1 News 9
39-2, displays as 9-2 News 9
39-3, displays as 9-1 News 9
While direct tuning to RF9 confirms there is nothing there. Now maybe I will be able to DX WFAA, or have they moved back to RF8 now, as they had an APP and CP for? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PHILIPPINES. 15190.1, Oct 15 at 1831, had been straining to hear if a very weak signal here was in Portuguese, ergo R. Inconfid?ncia, see BRAZIL, but now it gets a little stronger with music, then ID as ``Philippine Broadcasting System, Radio Pilipinas``, but before and after it sounded like Filipino/Tagalog as scheduled here 1730-1930. Also very lite het, with this one slightly on the hi side. Is Equatorial Guinea or Brasil also on at this time? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** RUSSIA. 13665, Oct 15 at 1257 as soon as I intune, ID in passing for R. Rossii. Per HFCC this is Moskva site, 200 kW, 265 degrees at 0830-1300. After 1300 this area gets overloaded by Cuba 13680 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1534 started airing Wednesday Oct 13 at 1530 on WRMI 9955, 1900 on WBCQ 7415, confirmed on webcast. Also confirmed on ACB Radio webcast UT Friday Oct 15 after 0100 [repeated 2-hourly thru 2330], and on WWRB 3185 from 0333 UT Friday Oct 15, also on webcast. Next airings are Friday 2030 on WWCR 15825; Saturday 0800, 1430, 1730 on WRMI; Saturday 1600 on WWCR 12160; Saturday 1800 on IRRS 7290; Sunday 0230 on WWCR 4840, 0630 on WWCR 3215 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 11715, Oct 15 at 1313, weak and fluttery carrier peaking at S9+12, KJES? Kids seem JBA, as it`s JBM, unlike 24 hours earlier. But at 1407 check today now it is inbooming, S9+25, YL citing what Jesus ``said`` and robokids reflecting her words. Fair modulation; then mixing in singing for full cacophony (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 3160 check Oct 15 around 0535: no trace of anything, as expected. Did not awaken until after 1130 when WPJK must sign-on 1580 as a daytimer. At 1143 there it is again, not quite as well as the day before, again with Gospel Train show. 1147 PSA mentioning Advertising Council. Gospel harmony OM singer backed by quartet(?), ``Don`t Know Why He Loves Me``. 1152 a bit of SSB QRM from hi side (so maybe this harmonic is not so harmless, but the SSB can do their own complaining). WPJK signal is beginning to weaken. 1158 ad for something with a lifetime guarantee. 1159, ``This is WPJK, 1580, ---``. 1200 another ID, train(?) whistles, back to music. 1206 still audible, this second harmonic from Orangeburg, South Carolina (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. Also logged a few US MW stations amongst the Mexicans around sunrise Oct 15, all times UT:
720, again fair but steady with no QRM, KDWN Las Vegas NV, at 1252 with 257-KDWN phone, Heidi Harris Show. Is this really night pattern??
770, standing by again for KKOB Albuquerque NM to appear on day pattern, Oct 15 from 1314. Pops on one sesquisecond before 1315 UT; could tell that it took about 5 seconds for signal to build up to full bore in quick steps. Joined local sports talk in progress. No greeting to all their new day-pattern listeners! Back in the studio they ramble on, unaware or uncaring that a major change has just occurred. I suppose they also cut to night pattern without saying goodbye to points eastward, currently 0030 UT; 0000 in Nov and Dec; 0015 in Jan; 0045 in Feb.
1060, at 1233 Spanish with 806 AC phone number, postal address in Farwell TX, KIJN@email.com spoken by presumed preacher, accent not exactly gringo, but not the Spanish you hear from real Mexican stations.
1330, at 1246 UT, Osgood File from CBS. We`re seeing him on the radio! But can he really see us? This one interviewing about the safety and necessity of flushots (got mine the other day, free tnx Medicare). 1247 ad for Sirius in car radios; 1249 rest of Osgood and then ``Newsradio 1330, KNSS``.
I knew it was my Wichita KS semi-local, but Osgood got me to stop and listen, unlike the cretins they propagate later in the day, making all their `news` suspect, Limbaugh, Hannity and Savage:
http://www.knssradio.com/pages/311219.php
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 8840-SSB, Oct 15 at 1413, the come-back guys have come back with another hickey QSO; wanted to be sure I copied frequency correctly the first time. 8815 is the boundary between marine and aero bands, so what are they doing in the latter? I can`t imagine them piloting aircraft while chewing this rag (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

Subject: [HCDX] Zambia National Broadcasting Corporation -ZNBC- to go
satelite
Information Minister, Ronnie Shikapwasha has maintained that the ZAMBIA National Broadcasting Corporation -ZNBC- will soon place all its channels on satellite, for effective transmission countrywide.
Lieutenant General Shikapwasha told Parliament that government has in next years national budget allocated fifteen Billion Kwacha to enable the corporation secure satellite space for five years.
He said the corporation will further buy 48 FM transmitters which will be installed in rural areas in 2011.
Lieutenant General Shikapwasha added that the development has been necessitated following the break down of ZNBC Radio One and Two Shortwave signals in February 2010.(http://www.znbc.co.zm)

** ALASKA. 7355, KNLS makes a rare appearance here during English hour. I tune by this frequency just about every morning and can`t hear it either due to propagation or sporadicity. Anyhow, Oct 17 at 1210, fair signal talking about Charles Russell, western painter, ``tribute to cowboy life in Oklahoma City, just another stop along the American highway``, i.e. Rte. 66. As always, the secular segments are too short, segu? to ``True Stories from the Bible in Contemporary English``, about Xerxes (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CANADA. 6175, instead of Vietnam in Vietnamese, Oct 17 at 0513 via CANADA, the VTC music fill loop was already running instead of waiting until 0527:30. Babcock master control in London (on BBC premises) must have lost incoming programme feed. Meanwhile, the NHK relay via Sackville on 6110 was normal: that`s a direct exchange with RCI, maybe not routed thru London (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake October 17: none found 8-15 MHz between 1248 and 1255. However, I see that plenty of it is being reported at other times and from other places, e.g. Wolfgang B?schel in Germany, so my lack of it must be primarily propagational (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GUATEMALA. 4055.0, R. Verdad JBA at 0514 Oct 17, matching 6055.0 REE (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** JAPAN [and non]. TP bandscan for carriers, Oct 17 just before sunrise: from 1217 upward in USB mode on the DX-398 at 9-kHz steps: 594, 693, 774, 792, 891, 1053, 1098, 1134. From 1223 downward in LSB mode, could hear only 1098, 774; no audios, so flip to 10 kHz for Mexican SRS (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. Another search for sunrise skip MW DX, Oct 17. Around 1225, usual suspects on 610, 650, 730, 870, probably relogs so kept seeking elsewhere.
700, at 1231, Mexican NA from the WSW; 1233 quick jingle ID with call letters but could not copy, ``Buenos d?as de XE ---``, TC for 27:7 so is in CST/MDT zone, into canned show ``Consejos para un mejor vivir``, maybe about astrology? At least that was mentioned, soon fading out. Per WRTH the only fit is XEGD, 5 kW, La Poderosa, Hidalgo del Parral, Chihuahua. All others are in the wrong part of Mexico except XEETCH, 5 kW daytimer, La Voz de los Tres R?os, Etchojoa, Sonora, but that`s in the UT-7 zone.
** OKLAHOMA [and non?]. Continuing monitoring of steady but snowy analog signal on channel 48 from the northeast with relay of KUOK-35, DTV Univisi?n from Woodward/OKC: strength did not increase much toward local midnight 0500 UT Oct 17, but the channel 18 DTV ``bad`` signal I was getting from same direxion did turn out to be Ponca City`s KTEW, decoding at 0248 with RetroTV // KXOK-31 Enid, as we also see joint IDs with it on the latter. Was Saturday night B&W horror movie with color breaks by costumed studio hosts and macabre puppets. KTEW PSIP displays as 18-1 KTEW-DT. That rules out KCPT Kansas City reception on 18, further evidence that the ch 48 is not KUKC.
Better reception on 48 tnx to morning tropo enhancement. More Univisi?n with OKC ad breaks; at 1430 I catch a supered ID in tiny letters at the upper right, of two lines. The second line says Canal 13 de Cable (not sure of the number), and the first line is mostly off-screen! due to the permanent over-scan of the old Zenith 12-inch set I use for analog DX. Maybe the solution to this is on that invisible line. At 1500 ran regular KUOK ID slide showing calls of ch 36 and 48 relays in OKC, not this one, plus 5-day forecast. Perhaps the UR supered IDs appear only on the half-hour? Unfortunately had faded too far down by 1530. Must keep an eye on that (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PERU. 18057.9, Oct 17 at 1343, very weak carrier, then bits of audio, only music past 1353. R. Victoria, Lima, 3 x 6019.3 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** RUSSIA. 5930, mostly motorboating rather than Russian programming audible, R. Rossii, already at 0516 UT Oct 17, even earlier than the night before. Would be interesting to detect just how early it can be heard, as winter solstice oncomes (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TUNISIA. 9725, soprano with Arabic song, Oct 17 at 0506, good signal. Figured it might be Tunisia so checked 7275, and found that // just in time, as 9725 cut off the air in mid-song at 0507:30 after a few sex of dead air, which is the typical pattern when RTT deliberately goes off. Then at 0511:05*, 7275 also cut off the air. That must have been unexpected. Next check at 0605, 7275 was back on along with // 7335 in Arabic talk, news?
Per WRTH May update, nominal closetime for 9725 is 0500, along with 12005. HFCC registrations for this read roughly one hour later than reality. Why would RTT go from higher bands before sunrise to lower bands later? 9725 is aimed east, 100 degrees, while 7275 is aimed NW, 340 degrees (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 660, Oct 17 at 1235 UT, Dineh drumming and chanting, no doubt from KTNN, Window Rock AZ, with KSKY Dallas nulled. Is this really on night pattern with null toward New York and us? Of course, it`s already sunny eastward from OK, so why not day pattern? No way at this hour it could be degrading WFAN in the Atlantic Northwest (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 7415, surprised to find WBCQ still on much later than usual, UT Sunday Oct 17 at 0602 as who else would be playing the Star Spangled Banner? Version by barbershop quartet, nice. I had previously lamented that WBCQ never played the SSB, so hope they make a habit of it, in multiple versions. Now how about all other US SW stations??
Before the last note could resolve, however, cut to buy-some-airtime promo by Allan Weiner; and then to his generic sign-off of ``Free Speech Radio``, which never mentions any frequency or schedule times, carrier cut immediately at 0604*. I wonder what they were running until 0600? Online guide shows off at 0400 after four hours of QSO Radio Show, UT Sundays only (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. Unusual propagation Oct 17 at 0506 prevented WYFR from being heard at all on its 9 MHz channels, 9985, 9715, 9680; the last two usually inboom in the nightmiddle. But still VG on 7520, 6985, 6875, 5985, 5950. Further signals on 9 MHz band were still incoming, e.g. TUNISIA. 11 MHz was almost dead except for weak 11725 NZ, 11780 Brasil. At 0517, even 5985 started weakening, but recovered.
WWV reports: ``Geophysical Alert Message
# Solar-terrestrial indices for 16 October follow.
Solar flux 87 and mid-latitude A-index 5.
The mid-latitude K-index at 0600 UTC on 17 October was 3 (26 nT).
Space weather for the past 24 hours has been minor.
Radio blackouts reaching the R1 level occurred.
No space weather storms are expected for the next 24 hours.``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 18125-USB, at 1335-1339 Oct 17, ham speaking Yiddish with American accent mixed with some English. Or was it Low German? Certainly not High German. Did not hear the other side, duplex? Finally IDed at closing as N2II. ARRL lookup shows:
Weber, Siegfried, N2II, 718 Colgate Ave, Lanoka Harbor, NJ 08734
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** VENEZUELA [non]. ``Al?, Presidente`` check Sunday Oct 17 at 1632: special frequencies via CUBA are on the air, 17750, 13750 and 12010, but only with RHC programming // 15380, 13680, 11760, 11730, 11690, report from Canad? about b?isbol; is a Cuban team playing there? Maybe El Hugazo will show up later? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 15261-SSB, 2-way (or 3-way?) colloquial Spanish contacts, mentioning geo coordinates, barcos, so probably poachers, Oct 17 at 1254; blown away a few minutes later by Sackville 15260 with CRI English (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

http://sg.news.yahoo.com/afp/20101018/twl-eu-trafficking-cyprus-prostitution-r-4bdc673.html
NICOSIA (AFP) - ? Cypriot radio stations are working together to put the spotlight on the victims and crack down on customers of a thriving sex trade on the divided island despite some timid visa reforms.
"I came to Cyprus to work as a waitress. That is what they told me. Now they force me to sleep with clients! I am not a prostitute. They force me to do it," said a woman speaking on Radio Astra, owned by Cyprus's ruling Akel party.
A condemnation follows: "Human trafficking is a serious violation of human rights. The tolerance and use of victims' services is our complicity."
The plan to enlighten Cypriots was launched two years ago when the government abolished "artiste" visas for "dancers," often from eastern Europe, in any of the 100 or so cabarets that the holiday island used to have.
Since then, the Greek Cypriot authorities in the government-controlled south of the island, which joined the European Union in 2004, say there are only 44 of the clubs left.
"The interior minister has changed the rules and now it's better," said Neophytos Neophytou, deputy editor-in-chief of Radio Astra.
"But it's still important to inform Cypriot society, especially the young people, to teach them the difference between (consensual) prostitution and trafficking."
Monday marks the annual European Day against Human Trafficking which the 27-nation bloc launched three years ago.
But experts in the field say Cyprus's abolition of artiste visas -- around 3,000 were issued in 2007 -- has made barely any difference at all, instead moving the problem elsewhere, mostly to bars and massage parlours.
"The truth is that two years ago they sold girls with artiste visas, and today they sell them with work visas," said Androulla Henriques, vice president of ACESS-Suisse, an organisation combating sexual exploitation.
In a report on human trafficking, the US State Department warned in June against the dangers involved in granting special visas to performing artists and waitresses in Cyprus.
And in a letter to Interior Minister Neoklis Sylikiotis, EU High Commissioner for Human Rights Thomas Hammarberg urged Cypriot authorities to "ensure that no type of visa or work permit can be abused for such unlawful purposes as trafficking human beings."
Half the applications for work permits are turned down, according to the interior ministry, which says it demands proof of the artists' qualifications and now requires that they come as part of a group.
The bars are no longer allowed to employ non-European waitresses.
"They changed the name of the visa, the name of the contract, but the situation hasn't changed: the women are still here, and the risk of trafficking also," said Susan Pavlou of the Mediterranean Institute for Gender Studies.
She believes the clients, most of whom are married Greek Cypriots according to her organisation, should be prosecuted.
Cyprus is also having to contend with a new phenomenon: street prostitution, with Filipinas, Chinese and Vietnamese women offering themselves, day and night, for just a few euros, non-governmental organisations say, to pay back immigration networks.
In the Turkish-held north of the island, the situation is even more troubling.
Since June, Turkish Cypriot station Radio Mayis has been broadcasting awareness messages in collaboration with Radio Astra.
Henriques described the "appalling life" of foreign women in the north who are deprived of their freedom, singling out the garish nightclubs dotted along the westbound motorway out of northern Nicosia.
In its June report, the State Department said nearly 1,000 "hostess" work permits were issued last year in northern Cyprus, which has 42 nightclubs, adding that the authorities had no procedures to identify trafficking victims.
Sener Elcil, secretary general of the union of Turkish Cypriot teachers, said the police in northern Cyprus do nothing to prevent people trafficking, and are even colluding with the organisers.
"Turkey is responsible for these (cabaret) activities. The mafia rules the northern part of the island, and police do nothing. Even worse, they're involved, they hold the passports of the girls when they arrive."

Bolivia, 5952.48, Radio Emisora Pio XII, 0954-1005, Noted a male and female discussing
a topic in Spanish Language. At 0959 noted music being presented. After the hour, the splatter increases considerably blocking Emisora Pio pretty well. Thus the signal ended up as a threshold quality. (Chuck Bolland, October 18, 2010)
Peru, 6019.38, Radio Victoria, 1015-1030, Prior to 1015, couldn't hear any chatter, however, at that time a moments of Spanish language faded in which turned out to be the regular preacher, David Miranda. So much splatter on the band which covers many of the weaker signals. Consequently Radio Victoria remained threshold. (Chuck Bolland, October 18, 2010)
Indonesia, 9680, RRI Jakarta, 1117-1130, Tuned into a program of steady Indonesian Popular music. At 1124 a male in Indonesian comments talks briefly. Signal was fair with usual splatter. (Chuck Bolland, October 18, 2010)

** ANTARCTICA. 15476, Oct 18 at 1304, carrier enough to confirm LRA36 is on the air this Monday (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** AUSTRALIA. VL8 check Oct 18 at 1249: some audio on 2485, stronger than 2325, stronger than 2310 carriers (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** AUSTRALIA [and non]. 15400, HCJB, Oct 18 at 1325 fair with instrumental hymn, 1326 plug http://www.christianmedia.net.au and 1327 HCJB ID in English. Other transmitter to S Asia on 15340 was weaker, underneath Arabic music making SAH of 5 Hz, since Morocco finally got religion and standardized channel from ex-15341 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake Oct 18:
10500, JBA at 1349. No others found 18-8 MHz by 1354. However:
13670, Firedrake-like music Oct 18 at 1347, but doesn`t fit the usual medley, and 1349 adds vocals both sung and spoken in opera, so NOT FD. Later found // on 9855 at 1350, i.e. CRI Chinese hour via Urumqi, EAST TURKISTAN, and Beijing sites respectively (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. RHC anomalies Oct 18: at 0532, 6150 has open carrier, then cuts off and back on, 0533 adding modulation in English, better level than usual, an echo apart from // 6060 de the other transmitter site. English was best tho hummy on 5970, and surprisingly weak on 6010, mixing with Mexico(?), and close enough to produce a SAH, not an AH! Seems like they swapped transmitters around, as 6010 is normally as huge a signal as 5970 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 24935-USB, Oct 17 at 2132, one of several DX signals on 12m, with QRZ, quick contest contacts in Spanish and English, 5-9 readings, one being WB9CDE. QRZ.com says CO8LY is:

P.O. Box 104
Santiago de Cuba, 90100,
Cuba
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** DOMINICAN REPUBLIC. 12 and 10m open Oct 17 at 2137. On approx. 28339.5-USB heard ``PU2DWL`` a few times, but that turned out to be the station called rather than the station heard. Would it be too much trouble to say ``this is`` or ``calling`` to make it clear? Of course! Those would take up two valuable syllables each, resulting in lower scores. Listening longer, concluded that the station heard was HI3TEJ. QRZ.com says:

Puerto Plata,

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GUADELOUPE. The MUF is finally making some progress, with 12m and even 10m opening up. Oct 17 at 2127 on 24965-USB, FG5DH calling CQ, and making several quick K-contacts, sounds like in contesting mode. Handle is Christian, confirmed by qrz.com lookup:
CHRISTIAN COMBET
RUE ALTHEY THEOGENE
MON REPOS
97130 CAPESTERRE BELE EAU,

** GUIANA FRENCH. 21690, RFI via TDF, Oct 17 at 2153 still in with fair signal in French. It is registered at 17-22, 500 kW, 75 degrees to CIRAF 37 and 46, i.e. Tunisia, Algeria, Niger, Nigeria and all countries westward in Africa. I wonder if it`s still audible at 10:59 pm in Niamey? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. 3325, RRI Palangkaraya, Oct 18 at 1248, poor with W&M conversation in Indonesian. I`m still not hearing any other tropical RRIs, nothing audible on 4750. Unless 3345 was Indo instead of PNG, q.v. (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KOREA NORTH. 2850, KCBS, Oct 18 at 1154, usual choral music reaching S9+10; at 1249 it had ascended to S9+15, more choral music, 1250 Korean talk. Carrier again detectably slightly unstable.
3250, weak signal with talk here at 1248 Oct 18, presumably VOK Japanese service, as it`s too late for Honduras, HRPC fading more than an hour earlier (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTEING DIGEST) see also KOREA SOUTH
** KOREA NORTH [non]. 6135, Shiokaze via JSR JAPAN is beginning to show up again, Oct 18 at 1402, but now I have DTV cable converter box ``bubble jamming`` to cope with, spreading from 6132 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KOREA SOUTH. 3480, Korean talk Oct 18 at 1247; 1257 at S9+15 with slow song, presumed Voice of the People, clandestine from South to North; always weak het on hi side 3481, from Anti-Imperialist National Democratic Front KOREA NORTH jammer, per Aoki.
Same audio on 4450 from VOP at 1259, no jamming audible. At 1300, 3480 had fanfare and march music, assertive Korean announcement, but not as overblown as the DPRK TV anchors (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KUWAIT. 21540, R. Kuwait, strongest station on band (SSOB), Oct 18 at 1332 in Arabic with drama, including music, narration, atop Spain making 4 Hz SAH with it, but the latter in the clear on // 21610, 21570 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** LIBYA. 21695, VOA, Oct 18 at 1333 in Swahili, with ripple both on the modulation and carrier, especially noticeable during music; same at 1345 on // 17725, not quite so pronounced. Equipment is in sad shape (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. Pre- and post-sunrise (1241 UT) MW DX Oct 18:
620, at 1218, PSA for Chihuahua electoral, promo D?a de los Muertos specials running daily at 7 pm; jingle, 6:20 TC, OM DJ, more mentions of Chihuahua, so it`s XEBU, La Norte?ita, Chihuahua city, 5 kW day.
660, at 1229, Spanish TC for 6:30, US b?isbol lineups. Probably XEACB in Ciudad Delicias, Chih.
710, at 1220 TC for 6:20, jingle mentioning Cuauht?moc, promo for a giveaway, so XEDP, La Ranchera, 7 kW, in that Chihua2 hi-elevation town. Where`s KGNC Amarillo? Its 10 kW day and night patterns do not favor us, but instead the Llano Estacado, tho we still get it over 400 km away by daytime groundwave, as does OKC. Long live sunrise skipover!
730, at 1221, VG signal with singing ID ``Radio Viva Vida``; has frequent IDs and even the songs seem to be as short as possible; 1230 fed PSA for Constituci?n, Poder Judicial, full ID as XEHB, 730 kHz, 50,000 watts de potencia, street address on tercer piso, [Hidalgo del] Parral, Chihuahua; norte?a music; 1234 SID ``?sta es Radio Viva Vida``, then slower tune by YL singer featuring accordion and tuba. At first copied call as ``XEACV`` which sounds a lot like XEHB.
760, at 1203, XEES, Antena 7-60, apparent sign-on with street address, in Chihuahua, watts, then ``Antena 7-60 presenta: Al Amanecer``, (At Dawn), TC ``las seis, tres``. Am getting a weak lightning crash every 5 minutes or so as a storm tries to build up over Enid, dissipates. WRTH 2010 shows this as ``Antena Musical 7-60``, 1 kW in Chihuahua capital, but heard slogan several times without the Musical.
Cant? agrees on the slogan, and linx to website, http://www.antena760.com/ where we see it is one of the seven-station Grupo Radio Divertida; logo is a car whip with a broken circle around the ball on top, and claims to be 10 kW. Sounds like it to me.
800, after a poor showing the day before, XEROK is back with a vengeance, at 1222 with news of latest secuestros (kidnappings), KQCV OKC no problem at the moment.
820, at 1236, Spanish in WBAP null, making SAH of 108/minute = 1.8 Hz; one guy talking, occasional comments by another. Los Mochis most likely, or Mexicali, or maybe Durango. To repursue elsewhen.
870, at 1201 NA, 1202 XETAR sign on by usual morning YL announcer in Spanish, mentioning Guachochi, Chihuahua, then Indian language, Tarahumara presumed. Remains audible until several minutes past SR. This one has the least QRM, as WWL is gone, and KFJZ Fort Worth, weakly audible here full-daytime on groundwave, seems negligible, tho it does have a 250 watt PSRA. XETAR has 870 to itself, no worries even about SAHs (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NIGERIA. 7350, R. Nigeria, Abuja, previously did not start with NA before 0555, but UT Monday Oct 18 tune-in at 0544 open carrier best yet at S9+8, brief tone test, and starts playing music on rustic instruments. 0548 retune had already signed on, in English program summary concluding at ``1 pm`` = 1200 UT, previously reported sign-off time. Announcements somewhat undermodulated. 0548 into YL vocal music, seems like in English. 0556 announcement blocked briefly by ``running water`` ute bursts; talking about Nigeria, jingle, doze, 0600 news? 0637 still audible as I awoke again before QRT (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PAPUA NEW GUINEA. 3345, the best of the lot, (3385 having cut off earlier), Oct 18 at 1255 lo-key and somewhat muffled talk by M, 1256 music, weaker than RRI 3325. Tentative R. Northern, Popondetta. Also carriers on PNG channels on 3365, 3315, 3290, 3275; however, Ishida reports RRI Kendari has been active on 3345 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PERU. 18057.9, R. Victoria, 3 x 6019.3, Oct 18 at 1330 with threshold audio, carrier definitely on signature off-frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PORTUGAL. In 13m bandscanning I usually tune up to 21850 just in case, but seldom hear anything above 21695. Oct 18 at 1335, weak talk on 21810+ (slightly on hi side), non-English, undermodulated but S9 peaks; nothing here in final PWBR by the radio. 1340 I can tell it`s Portuguese, so RDPI registered M-F 13-15, 82 degrees to Mideast/S Asia, the only station in the world on 21810, and the second highest SWBC channel now in use (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ROMANIA. 15435, RRI keeps up its tradition of filling out the Chinese hour with obscure but well-performed operatic arias, Oct 18 at 1323, then chopped off coloratura soprano at 1325 for close-down announcement (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 3160, Oct 18 at 1152, WPJK, Orangeburg SC, still harmonicizing from 1580 with gospel music. I see that Mark Taylor in WI has now heard this too (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 18530, WINB, 2 x 9265, Oct 18 at 1330 with Brother Scare at no-strain level, S3 to peaks S7; compared to fundamental 9265 there seemed to be a very slight reverb caused by slightly different propagational paths. At 1344 with BFO I compare the carriers: 18530 does seem to be twice as wobbly as 9265, tho modulation bandwidth is not doubled. Good to hear the MUF picking up like this; better than my last barely-log on Sept 22 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 15550-USB, Oct 18 at 1400 gospel chords, WJHR probably just signed on; dead air, then preacher. Audio a bit choppy, maybe backscatter involved? Tuned by again at 1411 when he was explaining the distinxion between red and white horses; of the apocalypse? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 13845, Oct 18 at 1408, Joyce Riley on WWCR is getting smothered by Mother Angelica speaking on her mushy spur-producing 13835 WEWN transmitter, which was much stronger. But why should I care? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** WESTERN SAHARA [non]. 6297.1, SASASAM confirmed on this frequency Oct 18 around 0610 chanting (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Pacific MW carrier search Oct 18 at 1212-1214 UT on 9 kHz DX-398 steps from bottom up to 1260 found nothing from the NW, but at 1213 a very weak 738, null indicating a much lower angle. Also at 1228, with plenty of splash from KRMG 740 Tulsa.
This of course should be the much sought-after TAHITI, a very different direxion from here than East Asia, and low-latitude trans-equatorial likely to propagate when high-latitude TPs do not. Tahiti is 8 megameters from here at 232 degrees, close to SW = 225, and about the same azimuth as XETAR-870. Japan ranges 317-322 degrees, and more like 10 megameters, but with a lot more power, up to 500 kW vs only 20 kW from R. Polyn?sie, the only MW in that aqueous insular radio country. WRTH does not venture to guess what its hours are, 24? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 674-680 MHz, the mystery channel A-48 analog relay of KUOK, Univisi?n for OKC, UT Oct 18 faded up from the snow after sunset, 0000 UT but this evening did not build up much by 0500, still weak. Better next morning, with stronger but ghosty, jittery signal from the near northeast where there is not supposed to be any such transmitter. Area tropo favored the Tulsa market on several DTV channels. At 1323 definitely peaking NE, not SSE from the other relay KWDW in OKC, but still quite ghosty. Strong enough at 1529-1532 to tape in case the super ID(?) appear in the upper right, but it does not. Just about faded out by 1600 (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

Subject: [HCDX] Tue MOnr DX
Bolivia, 6134. 79, Radio Santa Cruz, 0955-1005, Noted a female in Spanish comments. At 0958
canned comments by a male. Followed by more canned promos. On the hour a program of
traditional music is heard. At 1001 a canned ID, "... onda media .... kilohertz onda corta ..."
That's all that made it. Then back to music. Signal was poor and fading. (Chuck Bolland,
October 19, 2010)
Peru, 47476.81, Radio Huanta Dos Mil, 1005-1015, Noted different persons in Spanish language
comments which sounded like canned promos. This continued during the period. Signal was
poor, but sometimes fading to a fair level. Singing and comments heard at 1012. (Chuck
Bolland, October 19, 2010)
Peru, 4774.99, Radio Tarma,(pres) 1015-1025, Steady music heard at tune in. Music continues during the period as the signal diminishes to threshold. (Chuck Bolland, October 19, 2010)
Peru, 3329.52, Radio Ondas del Huallaga, 1025-1035, Ofcourse this is just on the edge of CHU which is much stronger, making copying very tenuous. Consequently, "Ondas" is only audible at irregular times depending on where CHU is in its time routine. Noted music and comments from ODH between CHU's announcements. ODH was threshold. (Chuck Bolland, October 19, 2010)
Peru, 6019.34, Radio Victoria, 1038-1030, This is a toughy this morning since there's a strong
het produced by the signal on 6020 KHz. As for Radio Victoria, David Miranda, the Preacher,
is preaching in his usual way and manner. Tried to log this earlier in the morning, but the signal
hadn't developed yet. It Seems to be much better at this time which leaves it at a poor level. (Chuck Bolland, October 19, 2010)

Subject: [HCDX] Glenn Hauser logs October 18-19, 2010
** CANADA [and non]. 9650, Oct 19 at 1312, the CRI English relay still has co-channel QRM from RNW Dutch via Tinang, PHILIPPINES, but today Sackville is on top, and there is no audible heterodyne, just a SAH. As closely as I can tell, RCI transmitter is no longer off-frequency, but 9650.00 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake Oct 19: none found 1315-1325 between 8 and 18 MHz, and the most likely spot, 10500, has some bubble jamming from local cable DTV converter boxes (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [and non]. Ananomaly check Oct 18: 17705, at 2058 wraps up RNV relay hour with a minute of IS, and off at 2059* instead of starting over and going on and on as it did a few days ago.
Anomalies Oct 19 at 0521, English only on 6150, 5970; both 6060 and 6010 were absent; the latter had two stations mixing with low het, music and talk, no doubt LV de tu Conciencia and Radio Mil.
Arnie has released the tentative B-10 schedule for RHC, English only, showing 6050 at 01-07, which would replace 5970 --- but that would blot out HCJB`s only remaining frequency. Way to go. Spain has 5970 planned at 2300-0200 in French, English, Spanish, surely just backup/alternate to 6055 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CYPRUS. 21420-21445, rapid OTH radar pulses Oct 19 at 1354 and still after 1400, presumably from here. The ``15m`` hams will be having a fit, justifiably. At this time, 13m was open from all over the area: Kuwait, Saudi, Spain, Portugal, Ascension, Libya and after 1400, BBC Cyprus 21470 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. 9526-, Oct 19 at 1326, VOI about Mother Teresa on This Day in History, 1327 Banjarmasin guy talks about instant noodles, how Taiwan had withdrawn some from Indonesia, but they`re OK as long as put in boiling 100-degree water. (But what about at higher elevations? Did not get into that.). Another Tuesday, so another joint `Exotic Indonesian ``produxion with RRI Banjarmasin. 1336 answering listener question about good spots for photography in South Kalimantan; find the announcer at his office in the RRI building at km 3.5 on Jalan-something, and he will show you. It would also help if we could ever find out his true, correct and complete name. Then he and a YL announcer presented a pre-produced scripted feature describing mosques for religious tourism. The IADs continue thruout, but VG signal otherwise and not much hum. I did not pay any attention to VOI the previous morning Oct 18, when Ron Howard found double-audio in Japanese and English
during the 12-13 hour! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** JAPAN. 3925, R. Nikkei, Tuesday Oct 19 at 1305 with German lesson, concentrating on the word ``mehr``, explained in Japanese, but I also heard ``more`` as if they were explaining German in English as well. Mostly free of QRhaM, but a little SSB on the hi side; // 6055 better (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KOREA NORTH [and non]. Breaking away from MW DX session on internal antenna only due to storms, by 1300 Oct 19 it was safe to reconnect the 110-foot east/west longwire to the FRG-7, but a bit too late to get much on 120-60 meters; nevertheless, at 1304, KCBS 2850 was still audible in Korean, and different Korean on 3480 from V. of the People, south to north (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KUWAIT. 21540, R. Kuwait, Oct 19 at 1357, music after drama, well over REE Spain, making SAH of about 5 Hz; see also SAUDI (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** LIBYA. 21695, V. of Africa, Oct 19 at 1324 in Swahili, and 1355, music sounds awful due to rippling modulation, as if there were CCI from another station maybe 20 Hz off, but this is just their own defective transmitter. 1402 ponderous English announcer also degraded by this (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. T-storms in the area Oct 19, so even more reason to concentrate on sunrise MW DX, only with internal antenna in the DX-398; not too many lightning crashes per minute, and diminishing. Prime reference is the WRTH 2010; Cant? if necessary:
540, in CBK null, at 1230 TC as 6:30, temp 12 grados, SID ``XETX, 5-40 AM, 5 mil watts, La Ranchera de Paquim?, . . . Sonora, y el sur de Nuevo M?jico y Tejas``. But it`s axually in Nuevo Casas Grandes, the NW part of Chihuahua, and could also claim to reach another state, Arizona.
610, at 1233, ``el noticiario m?s informado de Sinaloa``, soon mentioning Guasave too: so it`s XEGS.
640, at 1219 music, 1222 ad for what sounded like Iluminaciones Loya, but that does not Google; CNDR PSA, ID mentions 640, Radio Vivo (?), definitely ended in -o, CCI from another Spanish; with WWLS nulled. Most likely Radio Uno, XEHHI, Hidalgo del Parral, Chihuahua, tho there is another Uno in Zacatecas.
650, at 1225-1228 ad/PSA string, finally Radio 65 ID in passing, 1228 music: i.e. XETNT, Los Mochis, Sin., a regular. 1234 more journalists found executed, risky profession. By now WWLS 640 IBOC bothers but can be nulled.
710, at 1220, ``la mejor programaci?n, XEDP, La Ranchera de Cuauht?moc`` singing ID, TC, music, from hi-elevation Chihua2.
730, at 1238, XEHB canned ID by super-hype announcer, 50 mil watts (Parral, Chih.); by now KRMG 740 splatter is a problem with its own 50 kW day power. XEHB and Tahiti 738 listeners note: KRMG official sunrises, UT: Oct 1230, Nov 1300, Dec & Jan 1330, Feb 1315.
760, at 1208-1210, Mexican NA playing late; op overslept? UnID roughly from WSW direxion, then mixing with Antena 7-60, plus more Spanish from the south (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. Musical call-signs in the OKC market, even for talk stations: I would never deliberately listen to an outlet dedicated to stupid ballgames; thus it was solely fortuitous that on caradio I happened to pause on 1340 at an hourtop, 1900 UT Oct 18, and heard a new legal ID: ``The Game, KGHM, Midwest City-Oklahoma City``, on to Fox Sports Radio news. (Don`t some ESPN or Fox Sports affils default to real non-sports news on the hour from some other net, even CNN?).
FCC AM query confirms KGHM is now the call for this old graveyarder which like most OKC market stations has gone thru convulsions of callsign and/or format changes. To us, 1340 is the original KOCY, which in its 60s heyday was a major rocker. FCC callsign history, which does not go back nearly that far for any station, just shows:
Call Sign Begin Date
KGHM 10/02/2010
KEBC 08/23/1996
KXXY 08/05/1985
KCNN 11/03/1984
KXXY 08/29/1983
I`d forgotten about KCNN ? or was out of state during that gestation period, but KXXY was also the call on 96.1 FM (and still is, I think, glibly contracted to ``KXY``). KEBC was also on FM 94.7, a C&W force for many years. Then the KOCY call came back on 1560, the station hijacked to The Metro from poor little Chickasha, originally KWCO as Women`s College of Oklahoma; now Radio Disney, but how much longer?
What has Midwest City to do with this? 1340 KOCY was not attributed to that SE suburb as city of license, so why should 1340 KGHM be now? [ex-]KEBC address per NRC AM Log is in NW OKC on NW Expressway and Penn and 50th at the towering Clear Channel building, topped by its logo, across from deadly Penn Square Mall, along with KTOK-1000, et al.
Still no Tiger maps from Census available via FCC, but http://www.radio-locator.com linx to Google maps pinpointing KGHM site still at NE 29th St, 3 blox east of N Santa Fe, and just a bit further from I-235, i.e. appropriately for an ND graveyarder, close to the center of OKC, not MWC. If it were out there, would have a hard time getting to the NW side at night vs hundreds of other kilowatters.
I wonder if CC ``needed`` the KEBC call somewhere else? FCC currently has it nowhere on AM or FM; someone else should go get it, preferably an educational station. ``KGHM`` will encourage some misundereducated Okie sportsnuts to misspell the word ``game``, I am afraid --- or is ``ghm`` already textese for the word, saving a hefty 25%? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SAUDI ARABIA [and non]. 21505, BSKSA, Oct 19 at 1325 drama with music, while Kuwait 21540 is airing another Arabic drama; a favorite late-afternoon local time for such? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SCOTLAND [and non]. 24947, Oct 19 at 1404, GM4WZL, John in southwest Scotland making lots of US contacts, a W-zero at 1407. QRZ.com lookup shows, along with his dog Lucky:
JOHN SCOTT
5 Barrwood Gate
NR GALSTON IN AYRSHIRE, KA4 8NA
Scotland
Maybe a rather localized opening as the second-best signal on 12m, Oct 19 at 1408 on 24972 approx., was G0DBE in Liverpool, yes, with a Beatles accent.
LEE MARSLAND
154 MOSS LANE, LITHERLAND
Litherland, LIVERPOOL, L21 7NN
England
When 12m is open like this, one laments the lack of any nearby BBCWS UK transmitters on 11m, which inboomed to NAm circa 1958 in the big solar peak we`re unlikely ever to experience again. OTOH, 11m CB and 10m ham were not open.
Perhaps more realistically, when 12m is open from Europe, we ought to get some equally low-power broadcast harmonix, so I scanned 23-25 MHz, but no results yet. Prime sources would be:
23000-24320 = 2 x 11500-12160
23020-25188 = 4 x 5755-6297
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TUNISIA. 7225, surprised to find Arabic music here Oct 19 at 0513, but nothing on 7275, the correct spot for RTT. 0517 YL announcement, more music; 0530 ``Tunis`` mentioned at least thrice in apparent next program title, more music. 7335 not yet on which would be an easy //.
It so happens that 7225 IS the scheduled RTT frequency in the evenings, at 1700-2110 per WRTH May updater. So operator obviously forgot to change the frequency after that, or re-entered the wrong one by mistake, and likely will be back on 7275, 24 hours later. Fortunately, was not colliding with any legitimate occupant of 7225; nothing scheduled after VOR finishes with Pridnestrovye at 0300 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 17920, the dirty KVOH 17775 spur easily audible with whine and garbage, but no intelligible modulation, Oct 18 at 2055 while fundamental was S9+25+, about what it takes to audiblize the spur which is probably always radiated if not propagable.
And also as usual, the match around 17630 was much weaker, just detectable at peaks with same-pitch whine. Why should it be so assymmetrical? Please tune up yours spurs, Voice of Restoration (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 3160, WPJK Orangeburg SC, 2 x 1580, not heard Oct 19 as local T-storms kept me off SW till it was too late, so I submit this instead of a relog:
Some might have better luck hearing it in the evening, just before official local sunset and sign-off, UT: Oct 2245, Nov & Dec 2215, Jan 2245, Feb 2300. Per FCC AM Query for WPJK`s coordinates. Like the sun, these are not dependent on DST, which means that in terms of Eastern time, Nov 1 thru 6, it should go off at 6:15, but from Nov 7, 5:15. Some stations get mixed up, or don`t reset their clox/timers, and stay on an hour too late during the Week of Confusion. Morning sign-on during that week is supposed to be at 1200 UT = 8 am EDT, becoming 7 am EST Nov 7 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. Amid all the Mexican sunrise skip, I caught a few domestix too Oct 19:
720, at 1252, KDWN Las Vegas NV, talkhostess Heidi Harris defending Sharon Angle, so that`s all we need to know about Heidi. Has channel to herself, yet at 1317 she`s gone and am hearing Cubs talk from WGN.
760, at 1256, central Arkansas weather, on Morning Express, 66 degrees; in Kansas City null. Lo key ad for auto sales in Camden (? that`s down in south-central AR) --- anyway, wonderful to hear a car lot which doesn`t scream at us. ``AM 760, KMTL Radio, Sherwood - Little Rock - North Little Rock, Arkansas, United States of America, Inspiration Radio``. This is 10 kW nondirexional daytimer, Sherwood being a suburb NE of NLR.
770, at 1239, Albuquerque ad, mixing with something in Spanish. Perhaps the Santa Fe 230 watt relay as this is more than a semi-hour before Albuquerque primary cuts to day pattern. Standing by again at 1314, and comes on a few sex before 1315, saying that NM governor candidates` debate will be Thursday 7 pm on KOB-TV ``4``, repeated on KKOB 770 Friday night, same time. Signal now is fair and steady.
870, at 1243, WWL dominating with NOPD PSA. It seems eastward stations are making a comeback after sunrise today, tho XETAR may have been in earlier.
950, at 1217, 50s and 60s music, playing Pet Clark, loops NW/SE, holding its own so far against local KGWA-960 which is also to the NW. By format and time, most likely KRWZ Denver CO, except they supposedly have a day and night null SE toward us. What was once KIMN.
950, at 1244, in local KGWA null, ``Radio 950, KWON``, sounded like, sports talk. But can`t be KWON as that is 1400 in Bartlesville OK. Searching 950 listings, closest match is KWOS in Jefferson City MO, which NRC AM Log says is News/Talk, but includes ESPN among its networx (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX-398, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. Lacking any hint of sporadic E on channel 2 for months now, I typically leave the analog TV tuned to ch A-48, northeast, tracking the mystery Univisi?n relay. UT Oct 19, however, the signal remains very weak, not building up during the evening, nor the following morning, so something is changing, probably just where and how area tropo enhancement occurs. This is the case even when OETA-38 in Ponca City is decoding, making it less likely that 48 is in the same place (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. TP MW carrier scan Oct 19 at 1212-1215: only very weak ones from NW on 792, 774, 747 and more like SW on 738. See MEXICO 730 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###
