Subject: [HCDX] Glenn Hauser logs October 19-20, 2010
** ANTARCTICA. 15476, LRA36 carrier barely detectable Oct 20 at 1323, much weaker than English transmitter on 15480 with Polish Russian (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL [and non]. 15190, R. Inconfid?ncia, not yet heard again here as well as I did the first time, after 0045 UT WYFR closed. Oct 19 at 1935, no trace of a carrier; 2125 now there is a JBA carrier which could be this. Strangely, R. Africa, Equatorial Guinea vanished from 15190 at the same time ZYE522 appeared. At 2125, no signal audible on 15195 either. Currently YFR Ascension 15195 is at 20-21 only. As of Oct 19, others are still reporting R. Inconfid?ncia at times, however (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake Oct 20: nothing found 18-8 MHz from 1305 to 1310 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GUATEMALA. 4055.0, Oct 20 at 0552, matches REE 6055.0, music weakly audible from TGAV. Next check 1151 can make out the notes of a familiar hymn. Dr. Madrid e-mailed me UT Oct 20 at 0251:
``GREAT, GLENN, OUR BIG SHORT WAVE TRANSMITTER WAS FIXED TODAY, AFTER A VERY INTENSE AND DIFFICULT TASK. IN A FEW MINUTES WE WILL LEAVE FOR CHIQUIMULA, AND TOMORROW, WE'LL START BUILDING A NEW ANTENNA. SO, WE MAY COME ON THE AIR VERY SOON. PLEASE SPREAD THE NEWS.``
So time is running out to QRP-DX R. Verdad with only 50 watts (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDIA. 15795, Oct 20 at 1303, Indian vocal music on AIR Chinese service, flutter, but no jamming audible, not surprising since no Firedrake audible either (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. Circa sunrise DX Oct 20 on DX-398 with internal antenna, AC power indoors, UT, peaking from the WSW to the SW:
640, at 1220 accordion music, inserted ``Uno`` a couple times, so R. Uno, XEHHI, Hidalgo del Parral, Chihuahua.
680, at 1224, discussion of education ``en el norte del estado de Sinaloa``, soon overtaken by KNBR with Bay Area ads. Therefore it was XEORO, La Mera Jefa, 1 kW from Guasave, per WRTH.
730, at 1226, big signal with emphatic ID, ``7-30, Radio Viva Vida``, i.e. XEHB`s 50 kW from Hidalgo del Parral, Chihuahua.
800, at 1201 Mexican NA, 1202, XEROK ID or sign-on claiming 50 mil watts, rather than listed 150, Radio Ca??n, belongs to Grupo 7; ads for El Paso including Twisters, tacos, tiendita with phone cards. No problem from KQCV OKC this early.
950, at 1232, discussing ratings of Mexican banks. One station each in Chihuahua, Sinaloa and Sonora, likely PTA (probable target area).
990, at 1235 YL discussing escuelas, fades, 1239 peaks with accordion music, slow sad song with refrain ``Yo quiero morir``; 1243 segu? to frenetic tune with East European sound; 1246 segu? to slow ballad by YL. Still no luck nailing R. Lobo, XEER, Ciudad Cuauht?moc, Chihuahua, which is most likely.
1030, at 1244, Spanish talk from east-west, definitely not KCTA = north-south. Most likely XEYC, R. F?rmula, Ju?rez, Chih. (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NETHERLANDS [non]. 9650, Oct 20 at 1326, way under CRI English via Sackville, with light SAH, Netherlands NA, pause, and at 1327 a song, so I couldn`t tell whether the 3-minute supplemental broadcast via Tinang, PHILIPPINES, was English or Indonesian (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 1120, KEOR Sperry-Tulsa is off the air again. Had noticed it on the day before, but absent, not even a carrier around 1830 UT Oct 19; and still off at 1300 Oct 20, only KMOX weakly audible (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ROMANIA. 15435, expecting another nice operatic aria to fill out RRI`s Chinese hour, Oct 20 at 1324, instead rock song in English with heavy beat, what a drastic disappointment! 1325 cut to Chinese sign-off (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 3160, WPJK, Orangeburg SC, 2 x 1580, Oct 20 at 1154 gospel music, DJ mentions Gospel Train, weather forecast, 68 degrees. Meter says S9+20 but modulation level not commensurate. I suspect a considerable fraxion of the modulation and the 1 kW power is still outgoing on 1580, of no use here (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 17920, KVOH for the second day is emanating its filthy spur here, Oct 19 at 2127, and now there is enough distorted modulation to match it with SSOB 17775, along with the whine on spur only. At this hour, RFI via Guiana French is on 17630, and can`t hear any QRM from the much weaker matching spur (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 12050, WEWN Spanish, Oct 20 at 1307 with annoying squeal they seem unable or unwilling to repair, during prayer. Me and God would prefer to listen to // 11550 without the squeal (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1110, haven`t heard KFAB Omaha NE in daytime for a long time, but on caradio Oct 19 at 1941, talk is audible, 1958 I notice it fades a little, but 1959 mentions `huskers in passing. This is only one sesquihour after local mean noon, so could be first sign of daytime skywave as we are two months from winter solstice; however, at some 350 miles, 50 kW, KFAB can also barely make it here on groundwave. The fading could be caused by SAH from very weak KVTT Mineral Wells (The Metroplex) TX, which can exist only because KEOR Atoka OK was hijacked out of the way to the Tulsa market on 1120, sporadically active; see OKLAHOMA (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. Sunrise observations Oct 20:
660, at 1222 UT, national spot for Quicken in English, immediately followed by announcement in Navajo. I`ll bet it`s KTNN, but night pattern?
720, at 1251 UT, Heidi Harris again from KDWN Las Vegas, playing anti-Democrat, anti-Reid political ads apparently as program examples to comment upon, rather than paid commercials; how generous of her. Says she has been a longtime supporter of Sharon Angle as a viable candidate! Night pattern? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENG DIGEST)
** VATICAN [non]. 6020, Oct 20 at 1314 VR IS mixing with R. Australia`s Asia-Pacific news magazine, i.e. the end of the Chinese relay via RVA PHILIPPINES. Instead of going off at 1315, continues with a song of some sort; next check 1319 no more modulation, but suspect carrier still on causing slow SAH against RA. Enough is enough! But RA is not worried about this collision (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. MW TP carrier search Oct 20 at 1210-1216, up and down on DX-398 in both LSB and USB modes: none found, except: 1098 at 1214; 738-trace at 1216. Also tried the big `uns from Japan on 747 and 774 some more times, but not making it (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 48, Univisi?n from somewhere northeast of Enid: UT Oct 20 at 0045 signal fades up enough to lock synch; 0145 video and audio, as OETA-38 Ponca City is solid; 48 peaks around 0230 then fades down some. At 1400, good but still snowy and ghosty. The ghostiness has always bothered me, as it looks as if I cannot aim right at the transmitter no matter where I turn the antenna. When I do aim toward KWDW in OKC, it`s not ghosty but always weaker (until evening and morning tropo enhancement burns off). Could it be that I have been seeing KWDW all along, but when aimed at OKC, the signal is degraded by co-channel DTV? That would require the existence of another unknown transmitter. There are some full power 48s in Texas, but certainly not in daily without a DX opening. Looked for another upper-right ID super at 1430, but invisible. And when I do a full 360 at 1435 UT Oct 20, watching both the DTV signal meter on 48, and the same antenna split to the
analog TV, there is no sign of any DTV signal, no matter how `bad` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

** ANTARCTICA. 15476, LRA36 carrier detectable Oct 21 at 1324, much weaker but hetting UK with Russian audio on 15480 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. 15190v, no sign of R. Inconfid?ncia, Oct 20 around 2005 when it should have the frequency to itself, after Philippines phinishes, and with Equatorial Guinea still missing. Nor Oct 19 around 1935. The 5 kW really needs a propagational boost, and also I suspect it is only sporadically on the air. Others are reporting it periodically. I need to recheck around the time of day I first heard it, 0045+ after WYFR QRT (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Too busy with MW DX for a thorough Firedrake search earlier on Oct 21, but a quick scan of 8-15 MHz at 1348-1351 found none (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. RHC Oct 20 at 0555: English service with music on 5970, 6010, 6060 and undermodulated on 6150. Arnie Coro`s just-released tentative B-10 schedule shows FIVE frequencies in English at 0500-0700: 6000, 6010, 6050, 6060, 6150 (and 6050, 6000 also on at 01-05, the former colliding with HCJB if really implemented).
0616 check Oct 21: English on 5970, 6010, 6060, 6150. That`s enough.
1110 check Oct 21 (ooh, I only got 5 hours sleep), more overkill on 49 m, in Spanish: 6110, 6120, 6150, 6180 (plus Venezuela relay on 6060, in English). I was amusing myself by tuning to 6115 with just enough bandwidth to tell that 6110 and 6120 were an echo apart, when 6120 quit modulating at 1123, and off a few minutes later. This may or may not have been the transmitter soon found on 9600.
Per sked at http://www.radiohc.cu/espanol/c_frecuencia/frecuencias.htm
6120 is supposed to end at 1100. But 6150 is supposed to be on only at 05-07 in English! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1535, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CYPRUS. 18745-18770, over-the-horizon radar rapid pulsing Oct 21 at 1348, presumably from here or vicinity. Same sound at 1350 on 14585-14610 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GUATEMALA. Seems R. Verdad`s morning person doesn`t always get TGAV on the air by scheduled 1100. Oct 21 at 1110, nothing audible on 4055, but some music is heard at 1134. Soon it will be even harder to be late to work without the whole world knowing (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. 9526-, VOI Music Corner featuring some folk style with usual VG signal would have been great to listen to Oct 21 at 1351, if it were not for the IADs (intermittent audio dropouts) averaging about once ever five seconds. Won`t they ever fix this? Are they not even aware of it? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KUWAIT. 21540, SSOB S9+18, way over collision with Spain, Oct 21 at 1330 in Arabic drama with exaggerated emotions, music, child`s voice. 1335 break for Kuwait ID, more drama, starting with music reminiscent of the buildup to ``Oklahoma`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. Lots of sunrise skip Oct 21 on the DX-398, UT; prime reference is WRTH 2010:
620, at 1201 Mex NA, too much QRM. Likely XEBU in Chihuahua, only other NW Mexican being XESS Ensenada, where it`s 5 am. 1209, definitely XEBU: DJ greeting with date 21 de octubre, mentions Chihuahua, phone numbers for complacencias; CCI (co-channel interference).
770, at 1238, lots of talk, laughter, bits of music, SFX, several speakers in studio, sort of a morning zoo in Spanish, 1242 doorbell, 7-40-40, ``ll?menos``. That`s a bit short for a phone number these days, and Googling does not connect it with XEREV in Los Mochis, Sinaloa. But Wikipedia does show 74040 as the SMS number for the network program that station carries, Los Cuarenta Principales.
800, at 1238, XEROK, Ju?rez, with government PSAs for Ej?rcito y Fuerza A?rea, IFE, soon back to local crime news. What would Benito say? Also with NA after 1200, way over KQCV OKC.
870, at 1235, XETAR with ID, time 25:7, local avisos of fallecimientos (obits) and other family news. Guachochi, Chihuahua.
900, at 1228 mentions ``la junta de Cuauht?moc, Chihuahua``. So XEDT. WRTH shows slogan ``La Reina`` which I have not yet heard them say.
970, at 1202 Mex NA, heavy SAH, 1203 fading but mentioned Chihuahua, no doubt XEJ Ju?rez.
1180, at 1229 romantic music, 1230 ID claims ``5 mil watts`` but hit by IBOC from KFAQ 1170 Tulsa going to day pattern. Per WRTH, 5 kW day power fits only for XEDCH, Ciudad Delicias, Chihuahua, and that state is our prime SRS DX area. At 1231 blown away by Omaha, double-whammy; see U S A.
1300, at 1221, 6:21 TC ``en Radio M?xico Noticias``, dominating frequency, looping WSW. 1223 PSA for Tribunal Electoral de Chihuahua, website for it, ``Radio M?xico Noticias en Radio Trece``, weather, 13 degrees. It`s the 50 kW XEP, Ciudad Ju?rez (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PERU. 18057.9, Oct 21 at 1344, very weak but with the unmistakable intonations of wacky wailing gospel huxter David Miranda, from this third harmonic of R. Victoria, OAX4Q, 3 kW on 6019.3 from Lima.
No one else seems to report the harmonic, but some put the fundamental on a somewhat higher frequency. Whenever I hear the harmonic, I carefully check the frequency on the YB-400 by zero-beating the BFO with WWV, then stepping between 18057, 18058 and 18059, always reconfirming that it`s on the low side of 18058, making a higher pitch het when on 18059 than when on 18057; ergo fundamental cannot be higher than 6019.333+. Possibly the frequency varies by time of day; would not be a daily warmup factor if it is on 24 hours as I think it is (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ROMANIA. DRM: see THAILAND [and non]
** THAILAND [and non]. 17515, something here I don`t usually find, Oct 21 at 1326, heavy flutter in central Asian language? Cut off at 1329* after a bit of music I did not recognize, but was not the DW theme. Uplooked later in HFCC, it`s BBC in Uzbek via THAILAND, 250 kW, 325 degrees at 1300-1330. Normally this language is jammed by the ChiCom, but none heard now. Unusual opening. Also fluttery was Saudi Arabia on 17615, 17625, 17895, also high-latitude path over the other side of the north or south pole (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TUNISIA [and non]. 7275, RTT was back where it is supposed to be, Oct 20 at 0557, after having been on 7225 by mistake the night before. BUT, Oct 21 at 0618 check it`s on 7225 once again! And now there is QRDRM from 7225-7230-7235. That`s RRI, Romania in German, fortunately 0600-0630 only, 300 kW, 307 degrees from Tiganeshti, and hence USward. Are they really running full analog-like power with DRM? Most stations cut it back. I trust the Tunisian interference upmessed RRI DRM reception, like vice versa (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. First airing of new WORLD OF RADIO 1535 should have been Thursday Oct 21 at 1500 on WRMI 9955 plus webcast. Second airing at 1900 Thursday on WBCQ 7415. After that, UT Friday 0330 on WWRB 3185; 1430 on WRMI 9955, 2030 on WWCR 15825. Full schedule is at http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html
Audio on demand: http://www.worldofradio.com/audiomid.html
(Glenn Hauser, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 18530, Oct 21 at 1347 I can barely hear the ponderous pontifications of Alexander Scourby`s canned Bible readings, which a number of gospel huxters throw into their broadcasts as fill, including Brother Scare; sure enough, can // it with WINB 9265. The transmission on 18530 has quite a warbly carrier with BFO on, presumably twice as much as on 9265 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 3160, started monitoring at 1127 Oct 21 for the sign-on of daytimer WPJK 1580 Orangeburg SC on its second harmonic. I was getting worried as nothing showed past 1130, just occasional utebursts on lowside; could they have suppressed it? Still nothing at 1135 but I stick to 3160. Finally at *1137 carrier comes on, 1138 sign-on ``beginning another broadcast day``, ``All Aboard!`` two toots of a train whistle, which sounded suspiciously like they were also produced by the announcer`s mouth? And another pair a bit later, into Gospel Train wakeup music show. S9+12. At 1150 with BFO, I compared it to KSL on 1160, by down-tuning 2 steps on the FRG-7 MHz dial, and found the 3160 frequency just a touch on the highside. KSL is renowned for its frequency accuracy (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. Sunrise DX Oct 21 while mainly stalking Mexicans, in UT; prime reference is the NRC AM Log 2010, http://www.nrcdxas.org/catalog/books/index1.html
720, looking for KDWN, Las Vegas NV, at 1243 but no signal. Next check at 1245, there it is, ``KDWN, News-talk 720, K-dawn``. Therefore I conclude they are switching to day pattern at 1245 UT in October. That`s a full hour before official LSR per FCC AM Query for KDWN: 1345 UT! I wonder if KDWN thinks ``5:45`` at their page http://www.fcc.gov/fcc-bin/srsstime?dlat=36&mlat=4&slat=22.00&dlon=114&mlon=58&slon=20.00&tzone=D
means PDT instead of PST!?
Or could they have special dispensation to go-day at sunrise Chicago? No, that is at 1200 UT in October, not that unlimited WGN has to take any notice of it. So it looks like KDWN is taking an extra hour of undeserved daypower.
Can I be the first to have noticed this, probably going on all summer, in DX, broadcasting business or engineering, or enforcement circles?
770, at 1318, no KKOB, NM, just a very weak SAH (subaudible heterodyne). Late switching to day pattern? As heard several days at 1315 sharp.
790, at 1247, Tucson ad, ``News-talk 790, KNST``, Wall Street Journal This Morning. October sunrise there is 1330, so should still be on PSRA of 500 watts instead of 5000, but was it? By 1252, it loses out to:
790, at 1252, political ads for Rogers, NW Arkansas, i.e. KURM; mixed with KFYO Lubbock TX ID, overcoming KNST.
940, at 1215 YL traffic report, on ``Praise 940``, join us at the cathedral Oct 30 (counter-Hallowe`en service?), in Des Moines. So this is what has become of KIOA, now 10/5 kW KPSZ, the closest they could come to evoking ``praise``.
950, at 1216, KWOS ID immediately I tune in, Tigers sports talk, Newsradio 950, KWOS = Jefferson City MO.
990, at 1314, Trading Post on KSWM, also AM-990, phone numbers, callers with stuff to sell in Springfield MO. Must be a simulcast, since the real KSWM is on 940 in Aurora MO, while nearby, also SW of Springfield, on 990 is KRMO in Cassville. Googling confirms these two are related, both in the Talon Group:
http://www.krmo.com/KSWM/Program+Schedule/default.aspx
At 1317, ad for Bob`s Garage in Springfield.
1140, at 1255, Mexican music from E/W, so not XEMR Monterrey; in OKC null, fades out and in. 1302 in Spanish discussing California marijuana legislation; 1303 ``La m?s mexicana``, K--- and US PSA; mentioned Bakersfield, so figured I had a California station, but Googling leads immediately to http://www.lamasmexicana1140.com/
I.e., KLTK Centerton AR, 5 kW daytimer as in NRC AM Log only as SS:MEX, but not that slogan. Is the programming really coming out of Alta California? In any event it is certainly *less* Mexican than XEMR! Centerton does not even make the index of my Rand McNally. Must be near Rogers, address in the NRC AM Log.
Temporarily loses out to KCXL (see next log), but back in at 1307, M&W discussing today being the day of San Hilario, joking about how it resembles Hillary. ``La estaci?n de la Raza``, phone 631-4016 and enter to win mil d?lares, super-hyped canned ID by the same voice actor/announcer we hear everywhere from both sides of la frontera, who must be doing excellent business. 1311 fades out again. Next check 1320 it`s back with Mexican music, but KRMP OKC is gaining on it.
1140, at 1304, Spanish from KLTK loses out to English from KCXL, Liberty, Missouri, both calls and location mentioned in passing, religious talk, 1305 ``bluegrass gospel``, mentions I-70, various businesses at Old Town, Green Valley. 1307, KLTK resumes dominance.
1180, trying to DX XEDCH [see MEXICO], but US station blasts on at 1231, with Omaha steak ad, Vanguarding ad, YL with Koil traffic report. FCC AM Query for KOIL confirms 1230 UT is official October sunrise in Bellvue NE, so that`s when they ramp up from 1 to 25 kW, and day pattern has major lobe to SW, but still plenty of signal toward us to the SSW (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. TP MW carrier search Oct 21 at 1153 down the band on the DX-398 in LSB: only found 774 very weak at 1154. Then up the band in USB mode, from 1156: 747, 774, 1116, 1242. Afterwards I was too busy DXing Mexicans and Americans on 10-kHz channels (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

** ANTARCTICA. 15476, LRA36 carrier detectable Oct 21 at 1324, much weaker but hetting UK with Russian audio on 15480 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. 15190v, no sign of R. Inconfid?ncia, Oct 20 around 2005 when it should have the frequency to itself, after Philippines phinishes, and with Equatorial Guinea still missing. Nor Oct 19 around 1935. The 5 kW really needs a propagational boost, and also I suspect it is only sporadically on the air. Others are reporting it periodically. I need to recheck around the time of day I first heard it, 0045+ after WYFR QRT (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Too busy with MW DX for a thorough Firedrake search earlier on Oct 21, but a quick scan of 8-15 MHz at 1348-1351 found none (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. RHC Oct 20 at 0555: English service with music on 5970, 6010, 6060 and undermodulated on 6150. Arnie Coro`s just-released tentative B-10 schedule shows FIVE frequencies in English at 0500-0700: 6000, 6010, 6050, 6060, 6150 (and 6050, 6000 also on at 01-05, the former colliding with HCJB if really implemented).
0616 check Oct 21: English on 5970, 6010, 6060, 6150. That`s enough.
1110 check Oct 21 (ooh, I only got 5 hours sleep), more overkill on 49 m, in Spanish: 6110, 6120, 6150, 6180 (plus Venezuela relay on 6060, in English). I was amusing myself by tuning to 6115 with just enough bandwidth to tell that 6110 and 6120 were an echo apart, when 6120 quit modulating at 1123, and off a few minutes later. This may or may not have been the transmitter soon found on 9600.
Per sked at http://www.radiohc.cu/espanol/c_frecuencia/frecuencias.htm
6120 is supposed to end at 1100. But 6150 is supposed to be on only at 05-07 in English! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1535, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CYPRUS. 18745-18770, over-the-horizon radar rapid pulsing Oct 21 at 1348, presumably from here or vicinity. Same sound at 1350 on 14585-14610 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GUATEMALA. Seems R. Verdad`s morning person doesn`t always get TGAV on the air by scheduled 1100. Oct 21 at 1110, nothing audible on 4055, but some music is heard at 1134. Soon it will be even harder to be late to work without the whole world knowing (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KUWAIT. 21540, SSOB S9+18, way over collision with Spain, Oct 21 at 1330 in Arabic drama with exaggerated emotions, music, child`s voice. 1335 break for Kuwait ID, more drama, starting with music reminiscent of the buildup to ``Oklahoma`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. Lots of sunrise skip Oct 21 on the DX-398, UT; prime reference is WRTH 2010:

But Wikipedia does show 74040 as the SMS number for the network program that station carries, Los Cuarenta Principales.
800, at 1238, XEROK, Ju?rez, with government PSAs for Ej?rcito y Fuerza A?rea, IFE, soon back to local crime news. What would Benito say? Also with NA after 1200, way over KQCV OKC.
870, at 1235, XETAR with ID, time 25:7, local avisos of fallecimientos (obits) and other family news. Guachochi, Chihuahua.
900, at 1228 mentions ``la junta de Cuauht?moc, Chihuahua``. So XEDT. WRTH shows slogan ``La Reina`` which I have not yet heard them say.

1180, at 1229 romantic music, 1230 ID claims ``5 mil watts`` but hit by IBOC from KFAQ 1170 Tulsa going to day pattern. Per WRTH, 5 kW day power fits only for XEDCH, Ciudad Delicias, Chihuahua, and that state is our prime SRS DX area. At 1231 blown away by Omaha, double-whammy; see U S A.
1300, at 1221, 6:21 TC ``en Radio M?xico Noticias``, dominating frequency, looping WSW. 1223 PSA for Tribunal Electoral de Chihuahua, website for it, ``Radio M?xico Noticias en Radio Trece``, weather, 13 degrees. It`s the 50 kW XEP, Ciudad Ju?rez (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PERU. 18057.9, Oct 21 at 1344, very weak but with the unmistakable intonations of wacky wailing gospel huxter David Miranda, from this third harmonic of R. Victoria, OAX4Q, 3 kW on 6019.3 from Lima.

Possibly the frequency varies by time of day; would not be a daily warmup factor if it is on 24 hours as I think it is (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ROMANIA. DRM: see THAILAND [and non]
** THAILAND [and non]. 17515, something here I don`t usually find, Oct 21 at 1326, heavy flutter in central Asian language? Cut off at 1329* after a bit of music I did not recognize, but was not the DW theme. Uplooked later in HFCC, it`s BBC in Uzbek via THAILAND, 250 kW, 325 degrees at 1300-1330.

Also fluttery was Saudi Arabia on 17615, 17625, 17895, also high-latitude path over the other side of the north or south pole (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TUNISIA [and non]. 7275, RTT was back where it is supposed to be, Oct 20 at 0557, after having been on 7225 by mistake the night before. BUT, Oct 21 at 0618 check it`s on 7225 once again! And now there is QRDRM from 7225-7230-7235. That`s RRI, Romania in German, fortunately 0600-0630 only, 300 kW, 307 degrees from Tiganeshti, and hence USward. Are they really running full analog-like power with DRM? Most stations cut it back. I trust the Tunisian interference upmessed RRI DRM reception, like vice versa (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. First airing of new WORLD OF RADIO 1535 should have been Thursday Oct 21 at 1500 on WRMI 9955 plus webcast. Second airing at 1900 Thursday on WBCQ 7415. After that, UT Friday 0330 on WWRB 3185; 1430 on WRMI 9955, 2030 on WWCR 15825. Full schedule is at http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html

950, at 1216, KWOS ID immediately I tune in, Tigers sports talk, Newsradio 950, KWOS = Jefferson City MO.

Next check 1320 it`s back with Mexican music, but KRMP OKC is gaining on it.

1180, trying to DX XEDCH [see MEXICO], but US station blasts on at 1231, with Omaha steak ad, Vanguarding ad, YL with Koil traffic report. FCC AM Query for KOIL confirms 1230 UT is official October sunrise in Bellvue NE, so that`s when they ramp up from 1 to 25 kW, and day pattern has major lobe to SW, but still plenty of signal toward us to the SSW (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. TP MW carrier search Oct 21 at 1153 down the band on the DX-398 in LSB: only found 774 very weak at 1154. Then up the band in USB mode, from 1156: 747, 774, 1116, 1242. Afterwards I was too busy DXing Mexicans and Americans on 10-kHz channels (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

** ANTARCTICA. 15476, LRA36 carrier just barely detectable Oct 22 at 1348, weaker than UK on 15480 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL [and non]. 15190, straining to detect R. Inconfid?ncia, at the daypart I originally heard it, after WYFR 0045* --- Oct 22 at 0050, there is a trace of a carrier, maybe this, maybe not. Nothing at all active on 19m from South America to compare it with! Cuba 15380 is poorly audible; SRDA extremely distorted spur from 11765 on 12175v is inbooming, plus the much weaker twin on 11355v; Argentina good on 11711v (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake Oct 22:
10500, poor but definitely there with drumming segment, fluttery at 1340. No others found 8-18 MHz in the next few minutes (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [and non]. 9965, surprised to find no jamming here at 1430 Oct 22, as I was checking out WOR on 9955. DCJC has been wall of noise on 9965 from *1358 for many weeks, against R. Rep?blica as announced. This did not mean we could hear R.R. on 9965 at last; zilch (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDIA. 9425, AIR National Channel, Oct 22 at 1432 during brief news in English, something about Pakistan; flutter and too poor to follow, but much better than GOS on 9690; worse than VBS on 9870 with music; all from Bengaluru site (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** JAPAN [non]. 21560, NHK World, Oct 22 at 1427 with classical guitar music fill, 1429 outro weekday program Focus to 1430*. Poor-to-fair, should be better in ENAm. What other choice do we have for English at 1400, since R. Japan cancelled Sackville for that? 21560 has been via FRANCE, but will be gone in B-10, as the complete English schedule extracted by Alan Roe for DXLD shows:
0500-0530 EU/AS/NAM 5975uk 6110sa 15205ta 17810
1000-1030 AS/OC 9605 9625 9840 11780ta
1200-1230 NAM/OC/AS/EU 6120sa 9625 9695 9790ge
1300-1330 AS 9875
1400-1430 AS 5955 9875
uk = UK, sa = Canada, ta = Uzbekistan, ge = Germany; otherwise direct
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NIGERIA [and non]. 7350, R. Nigeria, Abuja, back to near-inaudibility, Oct 22 at 0553 just a very poor carrier, no comparison e.g. to 7340 RFI 500 kW in French, 160 degrees from Issoudun (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. I have now located the photo of the wasp nest (not hornet; I misspoke), at the 1317 Cansler talking house on 1670 (which continues to be well heard over much of Enid):
http://www.w4uvh.net/1670th1317wasp.jpg
I have no reason to believe it is a disguised antenna exceeding Part 15 parameters. Even at night now, its QRM can be heard upon WTDY Madison WI (Glenn Hauser, UT Oct 22, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. I continue to get KUOK, Univisi?n for OKC on channel 48 from the northeast, unknown transmitter, generally stronger than when aimed directly at OKC for KWDW relaying the same.
Until recently, the other KUOK relay in OKC on channel 36, KCHM-CA, had always been stronger than KWDW-LP, but for the last several days I have not been getting 36 at all. It had been my most reliable analog TV signal left. I see in W9WI.com that KCHM at 12.53 kW has an APP for 30 kW from a slightly different site, and a CP for DC (digital) 7.33 kW from yet a third site, all on channel 36:
LIC: 12.53, 35-24-52, 97-30-32
APP: 30, 35-27-10, 97-27-41
CP : 7.33, 35-24-54, 97-30-36
So it may be off the air in process of installing DTV transmitter, or could already be on DTV but no longer receivable here without tropo help. Oct 22 at 1500 UT, I am not getting any signs even of a `bad` DTV signal on 36 from that direxion, but conditions are dead if not impaired while it`s raining. Unlike some other LPs or CAs, KCHM is not moving to another channel as DTV (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PERU. 18057.9, Oct 22 at 1350, weak signal with David Miranda wailing fading up recognizably, and once again this third harmonic of R. Victoria, 6020.3, is definitely on the low side of 18058 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TUNISIA. RTT continues to alternate between 7275 and mistaken 7225 from one night to the next. Oct 22 at 0551 check with Arabic music, it`s back on 7275, and a few minutes later joined by // 7335 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1535 confirmed on ACB Radio webcast, UT Friday Oct 22 after 0300, repeated 2-hourly to 2330; also on WWRB 3185 webcast at 0330, long dead air after me, as usual.
1430 Friday Oct 22, gh audible on 9955 WRMI, no jamming, fading in and out, weaker as usual than Taiwan transmitters on 9950 and 9960; also blasted by overload from WWCR 9980 BS.
Next SW airings of WOR are Friday 2030 on WWCR 15825; Saturday 0800, 1400, 1730 on WRMI 9955; Saturday 1600 on WWCR 12160; Saturday 0800 on IRRS 9515 (we hope, since it`s fourth Sat), and 1800 on IRRS 7290 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [non]. 12155, Oct 22 at 1342, heavy flutter, instrumental Christian hymn, 1343 brief announcement unseems English, more music. Early A-10 schedules had Family Radio via Tajikistan, English to S Asia at 13-14. However, Eibi has YFR site as Almaty, Kazakhstan, language unknown. Perhaps they switched sites when ready to go with another language than English? Meanwhile, 12140, RFA Burmese via Tinian, was flutter-free (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9385, WWRB with open carrier at tunebies (tunebys?), Oct 22 around 1335, 1433, 1632, so was it unmodulated for 3+ hours by Brother Scare, or was I just lucky? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. To reconfirm that KDWN Las Vegas is illegally switching to non-direxional 50 kW day pattern one hour too early, I am waiting for it on 720 at 1243 UT Oct 22 --- no signals. KDWN pops on at 1244:39 amid Heidi Harris talking: she does not even greet all her new undeserved listeners to the east, mainly me. Soon over to traffic report, even tho it`s only 5:45 am PDT there.
October official sunset is 5:00 pm PST = 0100 UT. So is KDWN an hour fast then too, cutting to night pattern at 0000 UT? That would be hard to tell from here. In November, LV SR & SS are 6:15 am and 4:30 pm PST = 1415 and 0030 UT. During the first week of Nov when silly DST is still in effect, KDWN might still be an hour early in the mornings, i.e. 1315 UT to day pattern, but from Nov 7 back in step?? If they think all that matters is the local clock.
Still in at 1300 UT when ID claims she is ``Las Vegas`s only live local talk show host``. Period, without qualification as to time. Is this true? If so, poor Las Vegas, getting Harry Reid trashed and Sharron Angle built up. However, in news on the hour, K-Dawn had some clips of Reid denouncing Angle, from his appearance on MSNBC`s The Ed Show, yesterday originating from Henderson. Heidi has allegedly appeared on The Ed Show from time to time [22-23 UT M-F], but I don`t recall ever seeing her.
FCC entry for KDWN at
http://www.fcc.gov/fcc-bin/amq?list=0&facid=54686
shows they have a CP for some changes both day and night, but I haven`t tried to figure out what the point of them is. Can anyone? Parameters superficially look about the same, before and after.
Since I did not hear 770 KKOB Albuquerque NM yesterday when it normally cuts to non-direxional day pattern at 1315 UT, I am standing by for it Oct 22: and so it does appear today, amid discussion of magnifying hardware in elexion booths for tiny-print ballots. Even tho it is half a timezone east of Las Vegas, KKOB goes to day pattern a semihour later as it should (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. TP MW carrier search Oct 22 at 1230: very weak ones detectable on 648, 666, 747, 828, 882, 972, 1008, 1035, 1044, 1098, 1125, 1134; and at 1235 on 1566. I see the last one has been of particular interest to Pacific Northeast DXers (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

Peru, 5039.40, Radio Libertad, 1010-1030, Of course Cuba is on 5040; but being able to notch
Cuba out, Radio LIbertad is audible at a threshold level. Noted a male in Spanish language
comments. The jest of the talk from Radio Libertad sounds political. But since the signal is
threshold, it's just a guess at this point. (Chuck Bolland, October 22, 2010)

** ALBANIA. 13640, R. Tirana, Oct 22 at 2006 in English to NAm with S9+12 signal peaks, but so undermodulated that the propagational fading was loud enough to make it uncopiable. BTW, Christian Milling of Radio 700 has performed a new hi-fi version of variations on RT`s IS, accessible via the dxldyg (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ARGENTINA. Last summer, this country stayed on UT -4, not observing DST of UT -3 as it had previous years. According to
http://www.timeanddate.com/news/time/argentina-dst-2009-2010.html
and more recent entries there, Argentina will not observe DST this summer either --- except for San Lu?s province, but that`s irrelevant for SW purposes.
So we may expect RAE transmissions to stay at the same UT, i.e. for English M-F 18-19 on 15345v, Tue-Sat 02-03 on 11711v. See also EQUATORIAL GUINEA (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [and non]. DCJC wall of noise missing from 9965 as previously reported Oct 22 at 1430, and still missing at 2003 UT. The jamming used to last from 1358 to 2058. This could mean that R. Rep?blica has moved to a new daytime frequency, or off; look for otherwise unexplained DCJC during those hours. Previously it was on 11600. Is there still Cuban jamming on 5955 in the evenings vs R. Rep?blica / ELCOR on 5954.2v, 22-04? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** EQUATORIAL GUINEA [and non]. 15190, R. Africa, which conveniently went missing last week just as ZYE522 reactivated 15190, heard again for the first time Oct 22 at 2018, lo-fi gospel singer, S9+18 and no QRM, not even a het detectable during music. At 2013 YL preacher allowed a very lite het to be audible, but so weak I could not tell with BFO whether it was on the hi or lo side of R. Africa, which maintains a tight frequency, whatever its other failings, such as long periods of dead air between huxters.
I left one receiver on WWRB`s 9385 dead air, and another here, and took a bit of a nap. At 2030 VOA, surely still Greenville backup, signed on 15185 in Hausa after its own open carrier and no more 15190. So a few minutes before then, R. Africa went off while I was dozing. YFR Ascension continued on 15195 with Harold Camping in English until almost 2100, and VOA went off at 2101.
Now without side-QRM or co-QRM I can concentrate on 15190 once again: very weak carrier there, maybe R. Inconfid?ncia. At 2102, Morocco 15345 had a slightly variable het from weaker Argentina, so there was some propagation from South America (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KUWAIT. Still unable to hear any trace of R. Kuwait on 15540, where English has been running at 18-21, checked at 2050 Oct 22; nor Arabic to NAm on 17550, clear of VOA after 2030. Could be RK will go back to 11990 for another B-season in English, or already has, but nothing audible there yet either. We still get a good Kuwait MOI signal some mornings around 1330 on 21540 but only in Arabic, and colliding with weaker Spain (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 1120, KEOR Sperry-Tulsa, off the air again Oct 21 around 1900 UT, but back on the air at 1915 UT Oct 22, usual R&B music format (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SWEDEN [non]. 9495, sufficient reception of R. Sweden in English, Oct 22 at 2056, about to sign off the 2030 relay via MADAGASCAR at 320 degrees for West Africa, and hence USward too. Only 8 more days left for this or any SWBCs from R. Sweden (except unacknowledged relays likely to continue in the nightmiddle via WRMI 9955, from WRN, M-F at 0630/0730). (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TURKEY. 9460, nice Turkish music, brief announcements Oct 22 at 2047-2057* from TRT, fair signal (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U K [non?]. 11680, fair Oct 22 at 2051, strange mixture of Arabic and English comments, mentioning Price-Waterhouse-Cooper, and a little later, ukuleles. BBCWS in Arabic is scheduled here until 2100; HFCC, EiBi and Aoki all show both Rampisham at 168 degrees, and Moosbrunn, AUSTRIA at 115 degrees, but presumably only one or the other at any time; no echo audible, at least (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1280, KSOK, Ark?nsas City KS, after beer/tear C&W song Oct 22 at 1945 UT said ``Drop by our station, and you`ll see cars in the parking lot and people outside`` ---- OK, but how about inside? Still sounds like it`s automated like almost all stations are these days, and has had failures logged before, off the air the afternoons of March 13 and August 10, 2010 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. Not only was 9385, WWRB dead air the morning of Oct 22 whenever checked, but also the afternoon: at 2002 UT, still open carrier, with usual hum instead of Brother Scare. Left a receiver on frequency; still DA at 2027, 2043, but at 2100 standard telco-quality canned ID by Dave, asking for reports, back to OC, still the case at 2110, 2119. Meanwhile, The Overcomer was ranting on as usual on WWCR 9980. So it looks like WWRB was burning 100 kW for nothing during at least 8 hours, evidently on autopilot still putting out ToH IDs but nothing else (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. As I tuned down the 17 MHz band, Oct 22 at 2010, first hit 17920 with whine and distorted Spanish modulation, immediately // to 17775 KVOH on another receiver. 17920 registered S4-5, 17775 S9+19. Did not hear anything from it on 17630 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

Guatemala, 4055.21, Radio Verdad, 2320-2335, Noted two males in Spanish conversation until 2325. At that time a third male talks possibly religious topic? This is followed by music which sounds religious. ".... Radio Verdad ... punto .... metros onda corta ... Radio Verdad ... numero cinco, Guatemala ..." Music continues as signal improves from a very poor to fair. (Chuck Bolland, October 22, 2010)
British Indian Ocean Territory, 4319, AFN, Los Angeles, 2345-2359, Noted English news and comments as well as promos and public announcements. Signal was good which causes me to wonder if this is really Diego Garcia or another AFN station somewhere closer? (Chuck Bolland, October 22, 2010)
Iran, 3985, Voice of the Islamic Republic, 0025-0035, At tune in notice a female talking, but after
a moment or two a male takes over and continues talking in Arabic language. Signal had various
strenghts from poor to fair during the period. (Chuck Bolland, October 23, 2010)
India, 4920, AIR, Chennai, 0045-0055, At tune in, noted steady local music with Hindi language
singing by a male. Signal was fair. (Chuck Bolland, October 23, 2010)
India, 5010, AIR, Thiruvananthap, 0053-0100, Noted some local music for a few moments that
a male and female both comment in Hindi. At 0056 a male talks probably presenting news.
Signal was good. (Chuck Bolland, October 23, 2010)

Subject: [HCDX] Glenn Hauser logs October 22, 2010
** ANTARCTICA. 15476, LRA36 carrier just barely detectable Oct 22 at 1348, weaker than UK on 15480 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL [and non]. 15190, straining to detect R. Inconfid?ncia, at the daypart I originally heard it, after WYFR 0045* --- Oct 22 at 0050, there is a trace of a carrier, maybe this, maybe not. Nothing at all active on 19m from South America to compare it with! Cuba 15380 is poorly audible; SRDA extremely distorted spur from 11765 on 12175v is inbooming, plus the much weaker twin on 11355v; Argentina good on 11711v (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake Oct 22:
10500, poor but definitely there with drumming segment, fluttery at 1340. No others found 8-18 MHz in the next few minutes (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [and non]. 9965, surprised to find no jamming here at 1430 Oct 22, as I was checking out WOR on 9955. DCJC has been wall of noise on 9965 from *1358 for many weeks, against R. Rep?blica as announced. This did not mean we could hear R.R. on 9965 at last; zilch (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDIA. 9425, AIR National Channel, Oct 22 at 1432 during brief news in English, something about Pakistan; flutter and too poor to follow, but much better than GOS on 9690; worse than VBS on 9870 with music; all from Bengaluru site (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** JAPAN [non]. 21560, NHK World, Oct 22 at 1427 with classical guitar music fill, 1429 outro weekday program Focus to 1430*. Poor-to-fair, should be better in ENAm. What other choice do we have for English at 1400, since R. Japan cancelled Sackville for that? 21560 has been via FRANCE, but will be gone in B-10, as the complete English schedule extracted by Alan Roe for DXLD shows:
0500-0530 EU/AS/NAM 5975uk 6110sa 15205ta 17810
1000-1030 AS/OC 9605 9625 9840 11780ta
1200-1230 NAM/OC/AS/EU 6120sa 9625 9695 9790ge
1300-1330 AS 9875
1400-1430 AS 5955 9875
uk = UK, sa = Canada, ta = Uzbekistan, ge = Germany; otherwise direct
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NIGERIA [and non]. 7350, R. Nigeria, Abuja, back to near-inaudibility, Oct 22 at 0553 just a very poor carrier, no comparison e.g. to 7340 RFI 500 kW in French, 160 degrees from Issoudun (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. I have now located the photo of the wasp nest (not hornet; I misspoke), at the 1317 Cansler talking house on 1670 (which continues to be well heard over much of Enid):
http://www.w4uvh.net/1670th1317wasp.jpg
I have no reason to believe it is a disguised antenna exceeding Part 15 parameters. Even at night now, its QRM can be heard upon WTDY Madison WI (Glenn Hauser, UT Oct 22, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. I continue to get KUOK, Univisi?n for OKC on channel 48 from the northeast, unknown transmitter, generally stronger than when aimed directly at OKC for KWDW relaying the same.
Until recently, the other KUOK relay in OKC on channel 36, KCHM-CA, had always been stronger than KWDW-LP, but for the last several days I have not been getting 36 at all. It had been my most reliable analog TV signal left. I see in W9WI.com that KCHM at 12.53 kW has an APP for 30 kW from a slightly different site, and a CP for DC (digital) 7.33 kW from yet a third site, all on channel 36:
LIC: 12.53, 35-24-52, 97-30-32
APP: 30, 35-27-10, 97-27-41
CP : 7.33, 35-24-54, 97-30-36
So it may be off the air in process of installing DTV transmitter, or could already be on DTV but no longer receivable here without tropo help. Oct 22 at 1500 UT, I am not getting any signs even of a `bad` DTV signal on 36 from that direxion, but conditions are dead if not impaired while it`s raining. Unlike some other LPs or CAs, KCHM is not moving to another channel as DTV (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PERU. 18057.9, Oct 22 at 1350, weak signal with David Miranda wailing fading up recognizably, and once again this third harmonic of R. Victoria, 6020.3, is definitely on the low side of 18058 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TUNISIA. RTT continues to alternate between 7275 and mistaken 7225 from one night to the next. Oct 22 at 0551 check with Arabic music, it`s back on 7275, and a few minutes later joined by // 7335 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1535 confirmed on ACB Radio webcast, UT Friday Oct 22 after 0300, repeated 2-hourly to 2330; also on WWRB 3185 webcast at 0330, long dead air after me, as usual.
1430 Friday Oct 22, gh audible on 9955 WRMI, no jamming, fading in and out, weaker as usual than Taiwan transmitters on 9950 and 9960; also blasted by overload from WWCR 9980 BS.
Next SW airings of WOR are Friday 2030 on WWCR 15825; Saturday 0800, 1400, 1730 on WRMI 9955; Saturday 1600 on WWCR 12160; Saturday 0800 on IRRS 9515 (we hope, since it`s fourth Sat), and 1800 on IRRS 7290 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [non]. 12155, Oct 22 at 1342, heavy flutter, instrumental Christian hymn, 1343 brief announcement unseems English, more music. Early A-10 schedules had Family Radio via Tajikistan, English to S Asia at 13-14. However, Eibi has YFR site as Almaty, Kazakhstan, language unknown. Perhaps they switched sites when ready to go with another language than English? Meanwhile, 12140, RFA Burmese via Tinian, was flutter-free (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9385, WWRB with open carrier at tunebies (tunebys?), Oct 22 around 1335, 1433, 1632, so was it unmodulated for 3+ hours by Brother Scare, or was I just lucky? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. To reconfirm that KDWN Las Vegas is illegally switching to non-direxional 50 kW day pattern one hour too early, I am waiting for it on 720 at 1243 UT Oct 22 --- no signals. KDWN pops on at 1244:39 amid Heidi Harris talking: she does not even greet all her new undeserved listeners to the east, mainly me. Soon over to traffic report, even tho it`s only 5:45 am PDT there.
October official sunset is 5:00 pm PST = 0100 UT. So is KDWN an hour fast then too, cutting to night pattern at 0000 UT? That would be hard to tell from here. In November, LV SR & SS are 6:15 am and 4:30 pm PST = 1415 and 0030 UT. During the first week of Nov when silly DST is still in effect, KDWN might still be an hour early in the mornings, i.e. 1315 UT to day pattern, but from Nov 7 back in step?? If they think all that matters is the local clock.
Still in at 1300 UT when ID claims she is ``Las Vegas`s only live local talk show host``. Period, without qualification as to time. Is this true? If so, poor Las Vegas, getting Harry Reid trashed and Sharron Angle built up. However, in news on the hour, K-Dawn had some clips of Reid denouncing Angle, from his appearance on MSNBC`s The Ed Show, yesterday originating from Henderson. Heidi has allegedly appeared on The Ed Show from time to time [22-23 UT M-F], but I don`t recall ever seeing her.
FCC entry for KDWN at
http://www.fcc.gov/fcc-bin/amq?list=0&facid=54686
shows they have a CP for some changes both day and night, but I haven`t tried to figure out what the point of them is. Can anyone? Parameters superficially look about the same, before and after.
Since I did not hear 770 KKOB Albuquerque NM yesterday when it normally cuts to non-direxional day pattern at 1315 UT, I am standing by for it Oct 22: and so it does appear today, amid discussion of magnifying hardware in elexion booths for tiny-print ballots. Even tho it is half a timezone east of Las Vegas, KKOB goes to day pattern a semihour later as it should (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. TP MW carrier search Oct 22 at 1230: very weak ones detectable on 648, 666, 747, 828, 882, 972, 1008, 1035, 1044, 1098, 1125, 1134; and at 1235 on 1566. I see the last one has been of particular interest to Pacific Northeast DXers (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

Peru, 5039.40, Radio Libertad, 1010-1030, Of course Cuba is on 5040; but being able to notch
Cuba out, Radio LIbertad is audible at a threshold level. Noted a male in Spanish language
comments. The jest of the talk from Radio Libertad sounds political. But since the signal is
threshold, it's just a guess at this point. (Chuck Bolland, October 22, 2010)

** ALBANIA. 13640, R. Tirana, Oct 22 at 2006 in English to NAm with S9+12 signal peaks, but so undermodulated that the propagational fading was loud enough to make it uncopiable. BTW, Christian Milling of Radio 700 has performed a new hi-fi version of variations on RT`s IS, accessible via the dxldyg (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ARGENTINA. Last summer, this country stayed on UT -4, not observing DST of UT -3 as it had previous years. According to
http://www.timeanddate.com/news/time/argentina-dst-2009-2010.html
and more recent entries there, Argentina will not observe DST this summer either --- except for San Lu?s province, but that`s irrelevant for SW purposes.
So we may expect RAE transmissions to stay at the same UT, i.e. for English M-F 18-19 on 15345v, Tue-Sat 02-03 on 11711v. See also EQUATORIAL GUINEA (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [and non]. DCJC wall of noise missing from 9965 as previously reported Oct 22 at 1430, and still missing at 2003 UT. The jamming used to last from 1358 to 2058. This could mean that R. Rep?blica has moved to a new daytime frequency, or off; look for otherwise unexplained DCJC during those hours. Previously it was on 11600. Is there still Cuban jamming on 5955 in the evenings vs R. Rep?blica / ELCOR on 5954.2v, 22-04? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** EQUATORIAL GUINEA [and non]. 15190, R. Africa, which conveniently went missing last week just as ZYE522 reactivated 15190, heard again for the first time Oct 22 at 2018, lo-fi gospel singer, S9+18 and no QRM, not even a het detectable during music. At 2013 YL preacher allowed a very lite het to be audible, but so weak I could not tell with BFO whether it was on the hi or lo side of R. Africa, which maintains a tight frequency, whatever its other failings, such as long periods of dead air between huxters.
I left one receiver on WWRB`s 9385 dead air, and another here, and took a bit of a nap. At 2030 VOA, surely still Greenville backup, signed on 15185 in Hausa after its own open carrier and no more 15190. So a few minutes before then, R. Africa went off while I was dozing. YFR Ascension continued on 15195 with Harold Camping in English until almost 2100, and VOA went off at 2101.
Now without side-QRM or co-QRM I can concentrate on 15190 once again: very weak carrier there, maybe R. Inconfid?ncia. At 2102, Morocco 15345 had a slightly variable het from weaker Argentina, so there was some propagation from South America (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KUWAIT. Still unable to hear any trace of R. Kuwait on 15540, where English has been running at 18-21, checked at 2050 Oct 22; nor Arabic to NAm on 17550, clear of VOA after 2030. Could be RK will go back to 11990 for another B-season in English, or already has, but nothing audible there yet either. We still get a good Kuwait MOI signal some mornings around 1330 on 21540 but only in Arabic, and colliding with weaker Spain (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 1120, KEOR Sperry-Tulsa, off the air again Oct 21 around 1900 UT, but back on the air at 1915 UT Oct 22, usual R&B music format (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SWEDEN [non]. 9495, sufficient reception of R. Sweden in English, Oct 22 at 2056, about to sign off the 2030 relay via MADAGASCAR at 320 degrees for West Africa, and hence USward too. Only 8 more days left for this or any SWBCs from R. Sweden (except unacknowledged relays likely to continue in the nightmiddle via WRMI 9955, from WRN, M-F at 0630/0730). (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TURKEY. 9460, nice Turkish music, brief announcements Oct 22 at 2047-2057* from TRT, fair signal (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U K [non?]. 11680, fair Oct 22 at 2051, strange mixture of Arabic and English comments, mentioning Price-Waterhouse-Cooper, and a little later, ukuleles. BBCWS in Arabic is scheduled here until 2100; HFCC, EiBi and Aoki all show both Rampisham at 168 degrees, and Moosbrunn, AUSTRIA at 115 degrees, but presumably only one or the other at any time; no echo audible, at least (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1280, KSOK, Ark?nsas City KS, after beer/tear C&W song Oct 22 at 1945 UT said ``Drop by our station, and you`ll see cars in the parking lot and people outside`` ---- OK, but how about inside? Still sounds like it`s automated like almost all stations are these days, and has had failures logged before, off the air the afternoons of March 13 and August 10, 2010 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. Not only was 9385, WWRB dead air the morning of Oct 22 whenever checked, but also the afternoon: at 2002 UT, still open carrier, with usual hum instead of Brother Scare. Left a receiver on frequency; still DA at 2027, 2043, but at 2100 standard telco-quality canned ID by Dave, asking for reports, back to OC, still the case at 2110, 2119. Meanwhile, The Overcomer was ranting on as usual on WWCR 9980. So it looks like WWRB was burning 100 kW for nothing during at least 8 hours, evidently on autopilot still putting out ToH IDs but nothing else (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. As I tuned down the 17 MHz band, Oct 22 at 2010, first hit 17920 with whine and distorted Spanish modulation, immediately // to 17775 KVOH on another receiver. 17920 registered S4-5, 17775 S9+19. Did not hear anything from it on 17630 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

Guatemala, 4055.21, Radio Verdad, 2320-2335, Noted two males in Spanish conversation until 2325. At that time a third male talks possibly religious topic? This is followed by music which sounds religious. ".... Radio Verdad ... punto .... metros onda corta ... Radio Verdad ... numero cinco, Guatemala ..." Music continues as signal improves from a very poor to fair. (Chuck Bolland, October 22, 2010)
British Indian Ocean Territory, 4319, AFN, Los Angeles, 2345-2359, Noted English news and comments as well as promos and public announcements. Signal was good which causes me to wonder if this is really Diego Garcia or another AFN station somewhere closer? (Chuck Bolland, October 22, 2010)
Iran, 3985, Voice of the Islamic Republic, 0025-0035, At tune in notice a female talking, but after
a moment or two a male takes over and continues talking in Arabic language. Signal had various
strenghts from poor to fair during the period. (Chuck Bolland, October 23, 2010)
India, 4920, AIR, Chennai, 0045-0055, At tune in, noted steady local music with Hindi language
singing by a male. Signal was fair. (Chuck Bolland, October 23, 2010)
India, 5010, AIR, Thiruvananthap, 0053-0100, Noted some local music for a few moments that
a male and female both comment in Hindi. At 0056 a male talks probably presenting news.
Signal was good. (Chuck Bolland, October 23, 2010)

Subject: [HCDX] Glenn Hauser logs October 22-23, 2010
** BRAZIL [and non]. As I was saying last time under EQUATORIAL GUINEA: Now without side-QRM or co-QRM I can concentrate on 15190 once again: very weak carrier there, maybe R. Inconfid?ncia. At 2102 Oct 22, Morocco 15345 had a slightly variable het from weaker Argentina, so there was some propagation from South America.
And updating: At 0057 UT Oct 23, after WYFR is off 15190, I find a very poor signal on 15189.9 with talk by YL. Can`t make out the words, but the intonation fits for Brasilian/Portuguese. After 0100 mixing in some music bits. Only QRM: occasional spikes from incomparably stronger North Korea on 15180 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [and non]. 9570, CRI relay Oct 23 at 1203 just open carrier instead of Cantonese; wake up, RadioCuba! Back in biz at next check 1256 pronouncing website in English: http://www.chineseradio.com.cn
13920.4, Oct 23 at 1314, RHC spur with whine, resembling the squeal on 13680, rather than 13780, both of which had very good signals as usual and also co?perated to leapfrog upon 13880, but 13920 is something else, and unmatched by any mirror on the low side: nothing like it audible around 13440, 13540 or 13640 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** EQUATORIAL GUINEA. 6250.0, Oct 23 at 0613, weak talk could be Spanish, and presumably RNGE; some ute QRM. With sunrise underway, it really helps when they sign on a semihour earlier (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** EQUATORIAL GUINEA [and non]. In last report, fixing typo on the first time cited, 2008 UT not 2018:
15190, R. Africa, which conveniently went missing last week just as ZYE522 reactivated 15190, heard again for the first time Oct 22 at 2008, lo-fi gospel singer, S9+18 and no QRM, not even a het detectable during music. At 2013 YL preacher allowed a very lite het to be audible, but so weak I could not tell with BFO whether it was on the hi or lo side of R. Africa, which maintains a tight frequency, whatever its other failings, such as long periods of dead air between huxters. . . (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GREECE. 7450, Oct 23 at 0538 VOG with Greek music, better here than // 9420. Gone at next check 0603. Come to think of it, this frequency has been missing at night, like 15630 has been in the daytime.
At 1310, I find 15630 is also back on the air, fair with Greek talk and music, better than Turkey 15450 which was flutterier. Wolfgang B?schel also heard 15630 again from 0600 after four weeks` downtime. John Babbis says, ``I think the set-up for that transmitter is:
0000-0350 15650 105
0400-0550 7450 323
0600-1000 15630 285
1000-1100 BREAK
1100-2250 15630 285
2300-2400 15650 105`` (Glenn Hauser, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GUATEMALA. 4055.0, R. Verdad, Oct 23 at 0549 reads S9+12 with music, better than usual, fades, 0559 gets mushy and can`t tell if NA is playing later. Still on standby 50 watts, but expects to reactivate refurbished main transmitter with new antenna and revert to 4052.5 within a couple days (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** JAPAN [and non]. MW TP carrier search Oct 23: in USB mode on the DX-398, upward 1208-1240 UT: 594, 747 and 774; LSB mode downward at 1210-1213, snagged only 828 and 774; back to MEXICO on 10-kHz channels (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MADAGASCAR [and non]. 13840, Oct 23 at 0533, the OSOB (only signal on band) is French from NHK, as relayed 295 degrees this half hour. (I could file this under JAPAN [non], but the point of this item is how propagation was behaving; however, NHK in Russian was audible direct at same time on 11715) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MAURITANIA. ORTM has been reported missing from 4845 lately, but I hear an unexpected signal on 7245, Oct 23 at 0605 with soporific wakeup chanting rather like SASASAM`s on 6297, and like we used to hear on 4845, and still going at 0615. Surely it`s Mauritania on its daytime frequency much earlier than the usual switch circa 0800. Maybe it means they cannot operate on 60m for some reason. I rechecked 4845, and could not detect even a carrier in sideband of WWCR 4840. I check 41m just about every night at this time, and am sure I was not hearing anything on 7245 previously. Also inaudible on its MW 783, which more easterly North Americans often hear (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. Sunrise DX Oct 23 on the DX-398 with internal antenna only:
550, Oct 23 at 1214, 6:14 TC, rooster, Cuauht?moc promo for something at 300 pesos, PSAs, from XEPL, Chihuahua, a regular.
610, Oct 23 at 1232 from the SW, news of Caborca and Guasave, Sinaloa, with music stingers in between items, with single word ``Altavoz`` = loudspeaker, the day`s upcoming local events. So XEGS, Guasave.
660, Oct 23 at 1219, ads for celular, sounded like Barbacoa Cacoy, Morelos, probably street rather than state; s?bado 23 de octubre, M&W with missing or wanted person info. 1221 ad for exterminator (of bugs), phone 472-09-33, another ad to phone 472-43-63? ``Buenos d?as . . . se espera 11 grados,`` into romantic music. Nothing much googlehits except the phone number and exterminador leading to Ciudad Delicias, Chihuahua, whence XEACB transmits on 660.
680, Oct 23 at 1216, promo Cadena Cinco news, 1217 ad for something in Colonia del Bosque; loops SW, but too much CCI. Unfortunately, that Colonia is too generic, as they are all over Mexico. Cinco may refer to Televisa network 5 XHGC, so which station on 680 is in Grupo W? Here`s the list, showing 680 = Chihuahua:
http://www.wradio.com.mx/emisoras.aspx
There is a Colonia del Bosque not in Chihuahua city, but 47 km down the highway at Meoqui. Pretty good circumstantial evidence, maybe not quite enough to be positive it`s XEFO; but I`m not counting.
700, Oct 23 at 1229, open carrier from the southwest, with some crackles maybe from transmitter, past 1230, so I move on, but rechecked at 1243, now Spanish talk from the WSW, phone 52-3-13-13. That clix as the number of a psychologist in Hidalgo del Parral, Chihuahua, i.e. XEGD, and no hits for the only other likely possibility, Etchojoa, Sonora. At 1245 gives phone number again twice (I also discover that my Indigo watch light transmits on this frequency! O for the good ole days of clean, pure radium dials.)
710, Oct 23 at 1235, TC for 25:7, ``La Ranchera de Cuauht?moc`` singing ID, 24:7 TC, karaoke ad. XEDP.
870, Oct 23 at 1238, TCs for 6:38, XETAR ID, local Guachochi announcements (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA [and non]. We continue to find an anomalous situation comparing the two Woodward DTVs on adjacent channels. Oct 23 at 1450 UT, low-power KOMI-34 is decoding, while high-power KUOK-35 is not. Possible explanation is that 35 has too much CCI from other stations, such as KMTW Hutchinson KS, about 90 degrees away, and very strong with tropo help when pointing toward it. KSNC-22 (``2``), Great Bend KS was also in with NBC Satmorn kidvid (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PALAU. 9945, Oct 23 at 1159 came upon T8WH ID with usual South Bend address, cut off before fightin`-words ``Onward Christian Soldiers`` theme concluded, and by the time I tuned down to 9930 it had already switched there, starting YL preacher in English. Angel 3 is indeed scheduled to move from 9945 to 9930 at 1200, staying on the same type 146 antenna at 318 degrees, which facilitates the quick QSY (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** RUSSIA. 5930, only a week to go before the Pet/Kam motorboat moves to its winter channel 6075. Oct 23 at 1259 can`t make out much modulation, but at 1300 I can copy the 6-pip timesignal and compare it to WWV, which reaches hourtop five sex earlier. We remain incredulous that the Russkies have allowed this sorry situation to go on for years, Saudi-like (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TUNISIA [and non]. 7275, RTT manages to appear on its correct frequency for second morning in a row, after alternating with 7225. Oct 23 at 0537 music, and rather undermodulated compared to Algeria/FRANCE on 7295, BBC/ASCENSION on 7255 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U K [non]. 17695, Oct 23 at 1305, loud & clear S9+15 in news including 1307 clip of SOS Clinton, ``The Department of State does not comment on ---``, quickly voiced over, more news by YL. I recalled this is a Radio Farda frequency, but unseems Persian. Uplooked later in Aoki, we find that 1300-1330 is a break from Farda on 17695, instead BBC Uzbek via Rampisham, subject to ChiCom jamming but none heard now. Until 1300 it is Farda via Sri Lanka, and Farda resumes from 1330 via Lampertheim (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 3160, Oct 23 at 1156 can make out some gospel music under T-storm noise, so WPJK x 2 is still harmonicizing (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9980, WWCR-4 with Brother Scare, Oct 23 at 1321 accompanied by huge buzzy spurs out to 9970 and 9990, far more than your usual SWBC bandwidth. The buzz goes on even when The Overcomer is pausing, coming out of his incredibly dirty uplink audio. I shudder to think what it would look like on a scope, but perhaps someone could send a screenshot to us and WWCR.
Wanted to compare it to TOM via WWRB 9385, but Oct 23 at 1322 it`s open carrier again. Are we going to have another amodulated day? No, it`s going at 1325, BS arguing with a caller on whether he believes in The Rapture (yes, he does, and claims to know when, but I guess he is not saying, unlike Brother Harold; Maranatha). Some of the buzz is also audible on WWRB, but much less severe, as it seems they are doing a better job of filtering it out (not always the case). (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1535 confirmed on WRMI 9955, Saturday Oct 23 at midpoint 1414; poor signal, but no jamming; nor on 9965 vs Rep?blica. The 1600 UT Saturday airing of WOR on WWCR 12160 was disrupted. Mick Delmage in Alberta tells me the transmitter was off the air at 1600, but had come on by 1620 check. Remaining chances on WWCR are UT Sunday 0230 on 4840, 0630 on 3215; on WRMI 9955, Sunday 0800, 1530, 1730, and more on Tuesday, Wednesday (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 720, another log of KDWN Las Vegas NV cutting to non-direxional day pattern one hour earlier than authorized, and going from zero to sufficient signal here on the way to Chicago: Saturday Oct 23 at 1244:40 UT, during infomercial by a Dr. Pincus for his ``Omega-Krill`` with an 800 number. Yeah, cut out the middlefish and eat krill ourselves! That makes sense? More entertaining than far-right Angle-pusher Heidi Harris on weekdays (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** WESTERN SAHARA [non]. 6297.1, Oct 23 at 0606, open carrier with characteristic roaring noise, presumably SASASAM as usual on this off-frequency, but no modulation yet; was going to compare its chanting with 7245 MAURITANIA, q.v. (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 940+, every morning during Mexican SRS sessions, I hear a lo het on the hi side of this frequency, looping E/W so can`t be XEQ in the DF which is considerably off-channel. What I get may be local (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

Subject: [HCDX] Glenn Hauser logs October 22-23, 2010
** BRAZIL [and non]. As I was saying last time under EQUATORIAL GUINEA: Now without side-QRM or co-QRM I can concentrate on 15190 once again: very weak carrier there, maybe R. Inconfid?ncia. At 2102 Oct 22, Morocco 15345 had a slightly variable het from weaker Argentina, so there was some propagation from South America.
And updating: At 0057 UT Oct 23, after WYFR is off 15190, I find a very poor signal on 15189.9 with talk by YL. Can`t make out the words, but the intonation fits for Brasilian/Portuguese. After 0100 mixing in some music bits. Only QRM: occasional spikes from incomparably stronger North Korea on 15180 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [and non]. 9570, CRI relay Oct 23 at 1203 just open carrier instead of Cantonese; wake up, RadioCuba! Back in biz at next check 1256 pronouncing website in English: http://www.chineseradio.com.cn
13920.4, Oct 23 at 1314, RHC spur with whine, resembling the squeal on 13680, rather than 13780, both of which had very good signals as usual and also co?perated to leapfrog upon 13880, but 13920 is something else, and unmatched by any mirror on the low side: nothing like it audible around 13440, 13540 or 13640 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** EQUATORIAL GUINEA. 6250.0, Oct 23 at 0613, weak talk could be Spanish, and presumably RNGE; some ute QRM. With sunrise underway, it really helps when they sign on a semihour earlier (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** EQUATORIAL GUINEA [and non]. In last report, fixing typo on the first time cited, 2008 UT not 2018:
15190, R. Africa, which conveniently went missing last week just as ZYE522 reactivated 15190, heard again for the first time Oct 22 at 2008, lo-fi gospel singer, S9+18 and no QRM, not even a het detectable during music. At 2013 YL preacher allowed a very lite het to be audible, but so weak I could not tell with BFO whether it was on the hi or lo side of R. Africa, which maintains a tight frequency, whatever its other failings, such as long periods of dead air between huxters. . . (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GREECE. 7450, Oct 23 at 0538 VOG with Greek music, better here than // 9420. Gone at next check 0603. Come to think of it, this frequency has been missing at night, like 15630 has been in the daytime.
At 1310, I find 15630 is also back on the air, fair with Greek talk and music, better than Turkey 15450 which was flutterier. Wolfgang B?schel also heard 15630 again from 0600 after four weeks` downtime. John Babbis says, ``I think the set-up for that transmitter is:
0000-0350 15650 105
0400-0550 7450 323
0600-1000 15630 285
1000-1100 BREAK
1100-2250 15630 285
2300-2400 15650 105`` (Glenn Hauser, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GUATEMALA. 4055.0, R. Verdad, Oct 23 at 0549 reads S9+12 with music, better than usual, fades, 0559 gets mushy and can`t tell if NA is playing later. Still on standby 50 watts, but expects to reactivate refurbished main transmitter with new antenna and revert to 4052.5 within a couple days (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** JAPAN [and non]. MW TP carrier search Oct 23: in USB mode on the DX-398, upward 1208-1240 UT: 594, 747 and 774; LSB mode downward at 1210-1213, snagged only 828 and 774; back to MEXICO on 10-kHz channels (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MADAGASCAR [and non]. 13840, Oct 23 at 0533, the OSOB (only signal on band) is French from NHK, as relayed 295 degrees this half hour. (I could file this under JAPAN [non], but the point of this item is how propagation was behaving; however, NHK in Russian was audible direct at same time on 11715) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MAURITANIA. ORTM has been reported missing from 4845 lately, but I hear an unexpected signal on 7245, Oct 23 at 0605 with soporific wakeup chanting rather like SASASAM`s on 6297, and like we used to hear on 4845, and still going at 0615. Surely it`s Mauritania on its daytime frequency much earlier than the usual switch circa 0800. Maybe it means they cannot operate on 60m for some reason. I rechecked 4845, and could not detect even a carrier in sideband of WWCR 4840. I check 41m just about every night at this time, and am sure I was not hearing anything on 7245 previously. Also inaudible on its MW 783, which more easterly North Americans often hear (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. Sunrise DX Oct 23 on the DX-398 with internal antenna only:
550, Oct 23 at 1214, 6:14 TC, rooster, Cuauht?moc promo for something at 300 pesos, PSAs, from XEPL, Chihuahua, a regular.
610, Oct 23 at 1232 from the SW, news of Caborca and Guasave, Sinaloa, with music stingers in between items, with single word ``Altavoz`` = loudspeaker, the day`s upcoming local events. So XEGS, Guasave.
660, Oct 23 at 1219, ads for celular, sounded like Barbacoa Cacoy, Morelos, probably street rather than state; s?bado 23 de octubre, M&W with missing or wanted person info. 1221 ad for exterminator (of bugs), phone 472-09-33, another ad to phone 472-43-63? ``Buenos d?as . . . se espera 11 grados,`` into romantic music. Nothing much googlehits except the phone number and exterminador leading to Ciudad Delicias, Chihuahua, whence XEACB transmits on 660.
680, Oct 23 at 1216, promo Cadena Cinco news, 1217 ad for something in Colonia del Bosque; loops SW, but too much CCI. Unfortunately, that Colonia is too generic, as they are all over Mexico. Cinco may refer to Televisa network 5 XHGC, so which station on 680 is in Grupo W? Here`s the list, showing 680 = Chihuahua:
http://www.wradio.com.mx/emisoras.aspx
There is a Colonia del Bosque not in Chihuahua city, but 47 km down the highway at Meoqui. Pretty good circumstantial evidence, maybe not quite enough to be positive it`s XEFO; but I`m not counting.
700, Oct 23 at 1229, open carrier from the southwest, with some crackles maybe from transmitter, past 1230, so I move on, but rechecked at 1243, now Spanish talk from the WSW, phone 52-3-13-13. That clix as the number of a psychologist in Hidalgo del Parral, Chihuahua, i.e. XEGD, and no hits for the only other likely possibility, Etchojoa, Sonora. At 1245 gives phone number again twice (I also discover that my Indigo watch light transmits on this frequency! O for the good ole days of clean, pure radium dials.)
710, Oct 23 at 1235, TC for 25:7, ``La Ranchera de Cuauht?moc`` singing ID, 24:7 TC, karaoke ad. XEDP.
870, Oct 23 at 1238, TCs for 6:38, XETAR ID, local Guachochi announcements (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA [and non]. We continue to find an anomalous situation comparing the two Woodward DTVs on adjacent channels. Oct 23 at 1450 UT, low-power KOMI-34 is decoding, while high-power KUOK-35 is not. Possible explanation is that 35 has too much CCI from other stations, such as KMTW Hutchinson KS, about 90 degrees away, and very strong with tropo help when pointing toward it. KSNC-22 (``2``), Great Bend KS was also in with NBC Satmorn kidvid (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PALAU. 9945, Oct 23 at 1159 came upon T8WH ID with usual South Bend address, cut off before fightin`-words ``Onward Christian Soldiers`` theme concluded, and by the time I tuned down to 9930 it had already switched there, starting YL preacher in English. Angel 3 is indeed scheduled to move from 9945 to 9930 at 1200, staying on the same type 146 antenna at 318 degrees, which facilitates the quick QSY (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** RUSSIA. 5930, only a week to go before the Pet/Kam motorboat moves to its winter channel 6075. Oct 23 at 1259 can`t make out much modulation, but at 1300 I can copy the 6-pip timesignal and compare it to WWV, which reaches hourtop five sex earlier. We remain incredulous that the Russkies have allowed this sorry situation to go on for years, Saudi-like (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TUNISIA [and non]. 7275, RTT manages to appear on its correct frequency for second morning in a row, after alternating with 7225. Oct 23 at 0537 music, and rather undermodulated compared to Algeria/FRANCE on 7295, BBC/ASCENSION on 7255 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U K [non]. 17695, Oct 23 at 1305, loud & clear S9+15 in news including 1307 clip of SOS Clinton, ``The Department of State does not comment on ---``, quickly voiced over, more news by YL. I recalled this is a Radio Farda frequency, but unseems Persian. Uplooked later in Aoki, we find that 1300-1330 is a break from Farda on 17695, instead BBC Uzbek via Rampisham, subject to ChiCom jamming but none heard now. Until 1300 it is Farda via Sri Lanka, and Farda resumes from 1330 via Lampertheim (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 3160, Oct 23 at 1156 can make out some gospel music under T-storm noise, so WPJK x 2 is still harmonicizing (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9980, WWCR-4 with Brother Scare, Oct 23 at 1321 accompanied by huge buzzy spurs out to 9970 and 9990, far more than your usual SWBC bandwidth. The buzz goes on even when The Overcomer is pausing, coming out of his incredibly dirty uplink audio. I shudder to think what it would look like on a scope, but perhaps someone could send a screenshot to us and WWCR.
Wanted to compare it to TOM via WWRB 9385, but Oct 23 at 1322 it`s open carrier again. Are we going to have another amodulated day? No, it`s going at 1325, BS arguing with a caller on whether he believes in The Rapture (yes, he does, and claims to know when, but I guess he is not saying, unlike Brother Harold; Maranatha). Some of the buzz is also audible on WWRB, but much less severe, as it seems they are doing a better job of filtering it out (not always the case). (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1535 confirmed on WRMI 9955, Saturday Oct 23 at midpoint 1414; poor signal, but no jamming; nor on 9965 vs Rep?blica. The 1600 UT Saturday airing of WOR on WWCR 12160 was disrupted. Mick Delmage in Alberta tells me the transmitter was off the air at 1600, but had come on by 1620 check. Remaining chances on WWCR are UT Sunday 0230 on 4840, 0630 on 3215; on WRMI 9955, Sunday 0800, 1530, 1730, and more on Tuesday, Wednesday (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 720, another log of KDWN Las Vegas NV cutting to non-direxional day pattern one hour earlier than authorized, and going from zero to sufficient signal here on the way to Chicago: Saturday Oct 23 at 1244:40 UT, during infomercial by a Dr. Pincus for his ``Omega-Krill`` with an 800 number. Yeah, cut out the middlefish and eat krill ourselves! That makes sense? More entertaining than far-right Angle-pusher Heidi Harris on weekdays (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** WESTERN SAHARA [non]. 6297.1, Oct 23 at 0606, open carrier with characteristic roaring noise, presumably SASASAM as usual on this off-frequency, but no modulation yet; was going to compare its chanting with 7245 MAURITANIA, q.v. (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 940+, every morning during Mexican SRS sessions, I hear a lo het on the hi side of this frequency, looping E/W so can`t be XEQ in the DF which is considerably off-channel. What I get may be local (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

** BONAIRE. 6250.0, NHK Spanish reading reception reports complete with SINPOs as if the worldwide audience should care about those, UT Sunday Oct 25 at 0526 // 6080 Bonaire relay which leaps over RNW Dutch on 6165 to land on 6250, and as usual cut off at 0527* before Spanish show is finished, since the 6165 fulcrum goes off then. Thence, nothing on 6250, as Equatorial Guinea is rarely on this early (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 13921.6 is the approximate center of the RHC spur today, Oct 25 at 1313, up about 1 kHz from yesterday, much weaker than the leapfrog on 13880.
It`s Sunday, so RHC flips to El Hugazo mode, whether or not he is going to show up later. Instead of 13680, the Sunday-only frequency 13750 is up already at 1403, going from open carrier to // 13780, 17750, 12010 with RHC`s own programming. Next check 1544, still all // with no Al?, Presidente yet, 17750, 15380, 13750, 12010, 11760, 11730, and probably two or three others but not 13680 or 11690.
Next check at 1654, all those still // with RHC mailbag replay, but now there is an open carrier, presumably Cuban, on 11690 vs RTTY.
Final check at 1716, now 11690 is RHC modulating too // all the others, discussing Oriente province; 12010 now has severe ACI from Greenville English 12015, and 17750 is colliding with WYFR (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GUATEMALA. 4055, R. Verdad barely audible Oct 25 at 0605 when I can recognize a few notes of the national anthem. This is the tentative target date for reactivating main transmitter on 4052.5 with new antenna, but of course it could slide if there are more unforeseen problems (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MAURITANIA. Unlike 24 hours earlier, nothing on 7245 Oct 25 at 0603, nor at 0607 when I QRT; nothing on 4845 either. Carlos Gon?alves, Portugal also monitored Oct 24 and found 7245 on the air from 1803 till he quit at 2337 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. As I am hunting for Spanish sunrise skip from Mexico on MW, without much luck in poor conditions Oct 25 at 1226 UT, on 930 I hear English! WKY is just ending ``Sunday Morning Magazine``, I think it was called, immediately back to La Indomable ID and Spanish programming. Is there anything about this, let alone a plain old program schedule at their website
http://www.laindomable.com/default.asp --- of course not! (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TUNISIA. 7275, RTT again on correct frequency instead of 7225, Oct 25 at 0523 check, Arabic music (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1535 confirmed on WWCR-3 webcast from 0230, presumably also 4840, UT Sunday Oct 25 at 0250.
Sunday Oct 25 at 1542 check, WORLD OF RADIO 1535, insufficiently audible on 9955 WRMI, but occasional fade-ups slightly vs fast SAH of some 10 Hz, and ``Amazing Grace`` instrumental co-channel, i.e. Family Radio in Russian via Tainan, TAIWAN; no jamming audible, at least.
The Oct 20 WRMI schedule at
https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AivhtkIEGb3_dENObnZrMkt1YmtUWGxkbkd3TGNzOXc&hl=en#gid=0
shows the next airings are Tue 1530, 2230, UT Wed 0030, 1530, and a new time of UT Thursday 0330, altho I aim to have new editions up and ready by 1530 Wednesday (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 720, Oct 25 at 1243 I can detect a weak signal apparently from KDWN night pattern with null, as hearing the same voices after day pattern without null cuts on much stronger at 1244:40, Heidi Harris discussing Harry Reid with Las Vegas Sun columnist John Ralston --- once again illegally on day pattern one hour too early. If FCC fined them for every such infraxion, what would it add up to? Dream on. Not audible after 1300.
770, standby by for KKOB Albuquerque NM cut to non-direxional day-pattern at 1315 UT Oct 25, but no show. By 1318 a weak signal is fading in with SAH vs Texas. Perhaps the KKOB signal happened to be in a fade at 1315, but I am not sure they always hit the button right on time.
1040, not getting much from Mexico on MW, so have to settle for Spanish from elsewhere --- Oct 25 at 1250 sermon with musical background, a bit overmodulated, looping NW/SE so probably Colorado. Then promo for some fin-de-semana program at 9 am on Radio Vida, 10-40; 1300 Spanish gospel music across hourtop, 1303 finally legal ID in English as KCBR, Monument-Colorado Springs. Was making SAH of about 1 Hz with mostly-nullable WHO.
Searching for website I try first http:/www.kcbr.org but that goes to Kittitas County Barrel Racers, and they assume everyone knows what that is and where that is, so I locate it in central Washington State; but I digress; seems to involve horses.
The real website of KCBR is http://www.1040kcbr.com/ which shows it`s religion in English M-F, but Vida 1040, all day Saturday and Sunday.
1090, at 1231 Oct 25, KEXS Excelsior Springs MO, daytimer sign-on message, 8000 watts, owned and operated by Catholic Radio Network; immediately into citing John IV.
1360, at 1306 Oct 25, open carrier; then I hear a couple dings, so I figure it`s one of those Catholic masses better suited to TV, with long boring pauses on radio. Then when something is spoken, there is an echo, and furthermore it`s // to 11550 WEWN but slightly more out of sync. Therefore these are my two closest 1360s, which can also be heard in parts of NW OK on full-day groundwave echoing against each other, both carrying EWTN Radio --- KDJW Amarillo TX, and KAHS El Dorado KS (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. TP MW carrier search Oct 25 at 1236-1239 upward in USB mode on DX-398: only very weakies detectable on 585, 594, 828, not 747 or 774. At 1239-1241 downward in LSB: none. Local sunrise today 1247 UT, getting 1 minute later every morning. K-index at 1200 UT was 3, down from 4 previously, suppressing hi-latitude paths; SW also very below par this morning from 120 to 16m, and 13m dead (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1200, Oct 25 at 1225 UT, handbells with hymn, seems unlikely for WOAI, and loops more E/W than N/S. Perhaps WAMB Nashville TN, 50 kW daytimer already on the air. Sundays are risky for matching format listings, as a lot of non-religious stations divert to such stuff on the alleged holyday of mainstream Christians. NRC AM Log says WAMB`s is Nostalgia (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 6935.0-SSB, Oct 25 at 0525 hard rock music overdriving modulation, S9+15, still at 0533; 0541 computerized vocalization one note at a time, not quite so dense, punxuated by ``Oh, yeahs``. Was hard to tune with no carrier, but music sounded about right when zero-beat on 5935 WWCR 1.000 MHz down. Cut off in mid-music at 0549:40*. Never heard any announcements from this pirate, but maybe someone else got it? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

Bolivia, 5952.54, Emisoras Pio XII, 1000-1015, Noted a female in Spanish comments between
musical selections. At 1010 a male joins in.. Signal was poor.. (Chuck Bolland, October 24, 2010)
Peru, 6019.368, Radio Victoria, 1015-1025, With the usual need to notch out the stronger signal
on 6020, noted a male in Spanish comments. Victoria not yet strong enough to hear details
however, and signal tuned to frequency where best heard, down to one Hertz. (Chuck Bolland,

Bolivia, 6155.33, Radio Fides, (Tent) 1030-1045, With a very weak signal here, noted a male

So based on the frequency, think this may be Fides? (Chuck Bolland October 24, 2010)

Some Horn of Africa stations currently on the dial (1745-1840 UTC, 24 Oct 2010):
7175 Eritrea-2, 35333 (parallel 5935 heard before 1800)

Maybe others with better conditions can check too to confirm the situation?

Chuck, but what was the *carrier* frequency? Whenever I hear the third harmonic, usually in the 13-15 UT period, it`s below 18058, i.e. less than 6019.333 on the fundamental.

4055.21? I`ve been finding it right on 4055.00 lately compared to Nikkei and Spain on 6055, which are not likely both to be 0.21 kHz off. Is this another of your ``best heard`` rather than carrier frequencies? (See PERU). A station`s most important signature is its exact carrier frequency, regardless of how much off to the side you may need to tune it for best sound.
Anyway, now it`s time to look for it around 4052.5 with their main transmitter reactivated.

** CUBA. 13921.6 is the approximate center of the RHC spur today, Oct 25 at 1313, up about 1 kHz from yesterday, much weaker than the leapfrog on 13880.
It`s Sunday, so RHC flips to El Hugazo mode, whether or not he is going to show up later. Instead of 13680, the Sunday-only frequency 13750 is up already at 1403, going from open carrier to // 13780, 17750, 12010 with RHC`s own programming.

Final check at 1716, now 11690 is RHC modulating too // all the others, discussing Oriente province; 12010 now has severe ACI from Greenville English 12015, and 17750 is colliding with WYFR (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GUATEMALA. 4055, R. Verdad barely audible Oct 25 at 0605 when I can recognize a few notes of the national anthem. This is the tentative target date for reactivating main transmitter on 4052.5 with new antenna, but of course it could slide if there are more unforeseen problems (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MAURITANIA. Unlike 24 hours earlier, nothing on 7245 Oct 25 at 0603, nor at 0607 when I QRT; nothing on 4845 either. Carlos Gon?alves, Portugal also monitored Oct 24 and found 7245 on the air from 1803 till he quit at 2337 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. As I am hunting for Spanish sunrise skip from Mexico on MW, without much luck in poor conditions Oct 25 at 1226 UT, on 930 I hear English! WKY is just ending ``Sunday Morning Magazine``, I think it was called, immediately back to La Indomable ID and Spanish programming. Is there anything about this, let alone a plain old program schedule at their website

Sunday Oct 25 at 1542 check, WORLD OF RADIO 1535, insufficiently audible on 9955 WRMI, but occasional fade-ups slightly vs fast SAH of some 10 Hz, and ``Amazing Grace`` instrumental co-channel, i.e. Family Radio in Russian via Tainan, TAIWAN; no jamming audible, at least.
The Oct 20 WRMI schedule at
https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AivhtkIEGb3_dENObnZrMkt1YmtUWGxkbkd3TGNzOXc&hl=en#gid=0
shows the next airings are Tue 1530, 2230, UT Wed 0030, 1530, and a new time of UT Thursday 0330, altho I aim to have new editions up and ready by 1530 Wednesday (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 720, Oct 25 at 1243 I can detect a weak signal apparently from KDWN night pattern with null, as hearing the same voices after day pattern without null cuts on much stronger at 1244:40, Heidi Harris discussing Harry Reid with Las Vegas Sun columnist John Ralston --- once again illegally on day pattern one hour too early. If FCC fined them for every such infraxion, what would it add up to? Dream on. Not audible after 1300.
770, standby by for KKOB Albuquerque NM cut to non-direxional day-pattern at 1315 UT Oct 25, but no show. By 1318 a weak signal is fading in with SAH vs Texas. Perhaps the KKOB signal happened to be in a fade at 1315, but I am not sure they always hit the button right on time.
1040, not getting much from Mexico on MW, so have to settle for Spanish from elsewhere --- Oct 25 at 1250 sermon with musical background, a bit overmodulated, looping NW/SE so probably Colorado. Then promo for some fin-de-semana program at 9 am on Radio Vida, 10-40; 1300 Spanish gospel music across hourtop, 1303 finally legal ID in English as KCBR, Monument-Colorado Springs. Was making SAH of about 1 Hz with mostly-nullable WHO.
Searching for website I try first http:/www.kcbr.org but that goes to Kittitas County Barrel Racers, and they assume everyone knows what that is and where that is, so I locate it in central Washington State; but I digress; seems to involve horses.
The real website of KCBR is http://www.1040kcbr.com/ which shows it`s religion in English M-F, but Vida 1040, all day Saturday and Sunday.
1090, at 1231 Oct 25, KEXS Excelsior Springs MO, daytimer sign-on message, 8000 watts, owned and operated by Catholic Radio Network; immediately into citing John IV.
1360, at 1306 Oct 25, open carrier; then I hear a couple dings, so I figure it`s one of those Catholic masses better suited to TV, with long boring pauses on radio. Then when something is spoken, there is an echo, and furthermore it`s // to 11550 WEWN but slightly more out of sync. Therefore these are my two closest 1360s, which can also be heard in parts of NW OK on full-day groundwave echoing against each other, both carrying EWTN Radio --- KDJW Amarillo TX, and KAHS El Dorado KS (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. TP MW carrier search Oct 25 at 1236-1239 upward in USB mode on DX-398: only very weakies detectable on 585, 594, 828, not 747 or 774. At 1239-1241 downward in LSB: none. Local sunrise today 1247 UT, getting 1 minute later every morning. K-index at 1200 UT was 3, down from 4 previously, suppressing hi-latitude paths; SW also very below par this morning from 120 to 16m, and 13m dead (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1200, Oct 25 at 1225 UT, handbells with hymn, seems unlikely for WOAI, and loops more E/W than N/S. Perhaps WAMB Nashville TN, 50 kW daytimer already on the air. Sundays are risky for matching format listings, as a lot of non-religious stations divert to such stuff on the alleged holyday of mainstream Christians. NRC AM Log says WAMB`s is Nostalgia (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 6935.0-SSB, Oct 25 at 0525 hard rock music overdriving modulation, S9+15, still at 0533; 0541 computerized vocalization one note at a time, not quite so dense, punxuated by ``Oh, yeahs``. Was hard to tune with no carrier, but music sounded about right when zero-beat on 5935 WWCR 1.000 MHz down. Cut off in mid-music at 0549:40*. Never heard any announcements from this pirate, but maybe someone else got it? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

1040, not getting much from Mexico on MW, so have to settle for Spanish from elsewhere --- Oct 24 at 1250 sermon with musical background, a bit overmodulated, looping NW/SE so probably Colorado. Then promo for some fin-de-semana program at 9 am on Radio Vida, 10-40; 1300 Spanish gospel music across hourtop, 1303 finally legal ID in English as KCBR, Monument-Colorado Springs. Was making SAH of about 1 Hz with mostly-nullable WHO.
Searching for website I try first http:/www.kcbr.org but that goes to Kittitas County Barrel Racers, and they assume everyone knows what that is and where that is, so I locate it in central Washington State; but I digress; seems to involve horses.
The real website of KCBR is http://www.1040kcbr.com/ which shows it`s religion in English M-F, but Vida 1040, all day Saturday and Sunday.
1090, at 1231 Oct 24, KEXS Excelsior Springs MO, daytimer sign-on message, 8000 watts, owned and operated by Catholic Radio Network; immediately into citing John IV.
1360, at 1306 Oct 24, open carrier; then I hear a couple dings, so I figure it`s one of those Catholic masses better suited to TV, with long boring pauses on radio. Then when something is spoken, there is an echo, and furthermore it`s // to 11550 WEWN but slightly more out of sync. Therefore these are my two closest 1360s, which can also be heard in parts of NW OK on full-day groundwave echoing against each other, both carrying EWTN Radio --- KDJW Amarillo TX, and KAHS El Dorado KS (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. TP MW carrier search Oct 24 at 1236-1239 upward in USB mode on DX-398: only very weakies detectable on 585, 594, 828, not 747 or 774. At 1239-1241 downward in LSB: none. Local sunrise today 1247 UT, getting 1 minute later every morning. K-index at 1200 UT was 3, down from 4 previously, suppressing hi-latitude paths; SW also very below par this morning from 120 to 16m, and 13m dead (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1200, Oct 24 at 1225 UT, handbells with hymn, seems unlikely for WOAI, and loops more E/W than N/S. Perhaps WAMB Nashville TN, 50 kW daytimer already on the air. Sundays are risky for matching format listings, as a lot of non-religious stations divert to such stuff on the alleged holyday of mainstream Christians. NRC AM Log says WAMB`s is Nostalgia (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 6935.0-SSB, Oct 24 at 0525 hard rock music overdriving modulation, S9+15, still at 0533; 0541 computerized vocalization one note at a time, not quite so dense, punxuated by ``Oh, yeahs``. Was hard to tune with no carrier, but music sounded about right when zero-beat on 5935 WWCR 1.000 MHz down. Cut off in mid-music at 0549:40*. Never heard any announcements from this pirate, but maybe someone else got it? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

Bolivia, 6155.33, Radio Fides, (Tent) 1030-1045, With a very weak signal here, noted a male

So based on the frequency, think this may be Fides? (Chuck Bolland October 24, 2010)

Some Horn of Africa stations currently on the dial (1745-1840 UTC, 24 Oct 2010):
7175 Eritrea-2, 35333 (parallel 5935 heard before 1800)
6110 Fana (tent), 23322, not // 7210; 6890 is empty
5950 Tigray Rev. (tent), 23422, weaker BBC c-c, not // 5980,6170
7210 Fana or Eritrea-1 (tent), 22432, not // 6110,7175
Maybe others with better conditions can check too to confirm the situation?

Chuck, but what was the *carrier* frequency? Whenever I hear the third harmonic, usually in the 13-15 UT period, it`s below 18058, i.e. less than 6019.333 on the fundamental.

4055.21? I`ve been finding it right on 4055.00 lately compared to Nikkei and Spain on 6055, which are not likely both to be 0.21 kHz off. Is this another of your ``best heard`` rather than carrier frequencies? (See PERU). A station`s most important signature is its exact carrier frequency, regardless of how much off to the side you may need to tune it for best sound.
Anyway, now it`s time to look for it around 4052.5 with their main transmitter reactivated.
