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) ### ------------------------------ Message: 2 Date: Fri, 22 Oct 2010 20:43:59 +0200 From: Artur Fernandez Llorella <af...@hotmail.com> Subject: [HCDX] QSL Report Message-ID: <snt144-w30cc5f1254789db3444114ff...@phx.gbl> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" New QSLs received lately: ANGUILLA Caribbean Beacon, 6090, QSL in 6 months for e-report to bea...@anguillanet.com. v/s Doris Mussington.

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.

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) ### ------------------------------ Message: 5 Date: Sat, 23 Oct 2010 01:06:19 -0000 From: "Charles Bolland" <ka4...@peoplepc.com> To: "ALF" <alf.e.pers...@telia.com>, "Arnaldo slaen" <sl...@ciudad.com.ar>, "Bob Wilkner" <r...@earthlink.net>, "brainman214" <brainman...@gmail.com>,Carlos GonA?alves<carlos-rel...@sapo.pt>, "Cumbre" <cumbr...@n2jeu.net>, "DSWCI" <l...@directbox.com>, "Gayle Van Horn" <gaylevanh...@monitoringtimes.com>, "Glenn Hauser" <wghau...@yahoo.com>, "Hard-core-dx" <hard-core-dx@hard-core-dx.com>, "Marie Lamb" <mal...@cumbredx.org> Subject: [HCDX] Fri Eve Dx Message-ID: <!&!AAAAAAAAAAAYAAAAAAAAAMcpx2KDL2JFmEyXbvynxonCgAAAEAAAAGyFGljmIEZOte5/pmov5k8baaaaa...@peoplepc.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Guatemala, 4055.21, Radio Verdad, 2320-2335, Noted two males in Spanish conversation until 2325.
