HAPPENING NOW
7234 27 DEC, 1750 UTC, UNID, French-speaking station, African accent
and music bed with male announcer. Off-frequency and bad het with a
carrier on 7235. I think I heard him mention Burkina Faso. Is it
possible Radio Burkina is back up on a new frequency? Beat to death
@1800 by 7235 s/on. Otherwise good strength.

** CANADA. 11655, Dec 27 at 1521, RCI IS and IDs in English and French,
leftover from NHK relay ending at 1500, but why? Off at 1522*. Was atop a much
weaker signal, listed as KSDA Guam in Telugu (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST
** CHINA. 9415, Dec 26 at 2342, VG signal in Vietnamese, with short/longpath
echo. HFCC shows it`s CRI, 500 kW, 193 degrees from Beijing site (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also CUBA 9820
** CUBA [and non]. 9820, Dec 26 at 2325, RHC in Spanish with Chinese CCI. HFCC
shows: Xian, 150 kW, 290 degrees at 2055-0100. Aoki shows it as CNR2 Xianyang
594 site, same power and azimuth, but also Voice of Beibu Bay Radio, 15 kW, 225
degrees from Nanning in Vietnamese Sun-Thu, Chinese Fri/Sat, but are those
local or UT days? Anyhow, Commies vs Commies vs Commies! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
49 mb check at 1125 Dec 27: RHC 6000 mixing with Harold Camping on WYFR; VG on
6095, also 6140, 6150. Open carrier on 6120, also RHC, or Sackville? 6060 with
RNV relay mixing English and Spanish. 15120, Dec 27 at 1450 RHC Spanish with
tourism feature about Hemingway`s house in Habana, but fast SAH from
understation featuring wailing, i.e. Saudi Arabia`s Bengali service (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also NIGERIA
** EQUATORIAL GUINEA. 15190, R. Africa, Dec 27 at 1536 VP with preacher in
English; not yet the convicted child-molesting evangelist `Tony Alamo`, now
serving 175 years in Terre Haute rather than Tucson, whom Ron Howard has been
observing both at 1600 and 2200 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** FRANCE [non]. 13640, RFI via GUF, Dec 27 at 1146, VG with music, lyrix
sounded Japanese, 1147 ID in Chinese. Just part of RFI`s eclectic music fill
after M?t?o Marine in French which takes far less than the full semihour (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GUATEMALA. 4052.5-, R. Verdad, nothing there at 1125 Dec 27, so late signing
on again; 1138 check, now it`s on with ``Hark, the Herald``, by children`s
chorus, language uncertain, then ``Noche de Paz`` in Spanish; fair signal
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** JAPAN. 9875, Sunday Dec 26 at 1420, NHK World Interactive answering listener
letters. I expected it to be pre-empted as on last Sundays of month by
Listening Library, but per
http://www.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/english/radio/listening-library/index.html
this is appearing quarterly rather than monthly, Oct 31 and the next one Jan 30
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also CANADA
** MAURITANIA. 7245, no signal Dec 27 at 0605, so checked if ORTM was back on
4845 --- not there either, and WWCR 4840 was weakening as skip lengthened. 0618
recheck, 7245 now on with usual chanting, so opened late (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 6185, XEPPM with musical pr?lude, Sunday Dec 26 at 2305 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. Finally getting some analog winter sporadic-E TV DX. At 2346 UT
Sunday Dec 26 I noticed that WWCR 13845 and WEWN 15610 were putting in good
signals, as the bands were otherwise dying for longer hauls. A good tipoff that
Es is in play.
At 0223 UT Monday Dec 27 first noticed video on channel 2. 0225 found it coming
from WSW, tucanal bug in UR, so that`s XEPM Ju?rez. Then on channel 4, Azteca
13 bug in UR, the two vertical lines and three dots to their right (5+5+3) in
game/variety show, ``Boing/La Academia``. Briefly glimpsed SONORA in an ad, so
that`s XHHSS in Hermosillo. A few good fade-ins from it. Occasional signs of
signals on 5 and 6 but by 0248 MUF down to channel 2. Just about gone by 0300.
Next morning after finding WWCR 15825 and WEWN 15610 inbooming, and 6m Es maps
showing activity in eastern USA, I aimed ENE on ch 3 hoping for WBRA-DT from
VA; on separate analog set saw signs of video briefly at 1646 on ch 2 (Glenn
Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MOROCCO. 15341+, Dec 27 at 1512, RTM still here in Arabic, slight het from
15340; but at 1535 check had made the switch to 15345+ (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** NIGERIA. 15120, Dec 27 at 1509, VP signal from VON in English but in the
clear after RHC and BSKSA closed. HFCC shows Sa`udi on 15120 until 1600, but
WRTH 2011 has its Bengali ending at 1500 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ROMANIA. 6015, RRI in English, Dec 26 at 2315, no spurjam from Cuba this
time; previous report of this on 6020 under Cuba must have been 5 kHz off
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SAUDI ARABIA. 17615, BSKSA, Dec 27 at 1516, fire & brimstone preacher, vocal
range all over the place, unusual for Arabic broadcasts; his voice and/or the
playback may be defective. A few minutes earlier, was quite pleasant with
Qur`an. See also CUBA, NIGERIA, 15120 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 4825-USB, Dec 26 at 2320, Navy MARS net in ``comments`` segment,
informal talk about weather, equipment, NCS NNN0KIP. Also heard some AFA-
calls, Air Force MARS. Googling indicates NNN0KIP is somewhere in east Texas
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9245.8, Dec 26 at 2220, spur from WWRB // 9385 with Overcomer, but
non-Brother Scare speaking at the moment. Very weak and fading. Could not find
a match on the hi side, 9524.2 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9985, Dec 27 at 1134, VG with vintage cowboy music. WWCR-1 has
expanded from one hour to two on 9985, 10-12 UT, with the second hour M-F being
``Worldwide Country Radio``. 1158 QSY announcement to 15825 and off. By 1202,
WWCR-4 had come on 9980 with TOM music.
At 1537, found 15825 with preacher had VG signal instead of JBA, tnx to
sporadic E HF opening, providing 15610 WEWN likewise. Now`s my chance to try to
hear the +/- 15.6 kHz spurs which accompany other WWCR-1 frequencies, 3215 and
7465. Yes, there they are, quite weak but detectable on 15809.4 and 15840.6.
Also began monitoring ch 2 for ascension of Es MUF, and briefly saw some analog
video at 1646 with antenna ENE (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 15550-USB, WJHR with usual over-assertive preacher, rough audio
besides being SSB, Monday Dec 27 at 1447, confirming it is not limited to
Wednesdays only as in WRTH 2011. Today`s signal aided by sporadic E over short
1-megameter path, rising to good peaks after 1500 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9955, WRMI, UT Sunday Dec 26 at 0549, great music from Bolivia, Per?
on ``Aires Andinos`` and sufficient non-jammed reception too. Current sked as
of Dec 17 shows all these times for it: UT Tue 0330, Wed 1230, Thu 0100
{corrected, not 0000, tnx to Harry Brown for catching this}, Sat 1200, Sun
0530, 0730 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** VATICAN [non]. 9865, Dec 27 at 1128 OC, 1129 Vatican Radio IS, opening
Spanish to Latin America and the Caribbean, but then dumped off the air and
never returned at several chex following semihour. Is Sackville, CANADA relay,
almost as if operator thought better of doing this transmission. Has it been
deliberately suspended? It had ACI from 9865-9870-9875 RNZI DRM noise which
runs until 1200 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 3320, Dec 27 at 1152, open carrier with tone test, or rather het,
I think now from a second carrier, this time slightly lower pitched than the
adjacent CHU pips. Obviously at this hour it would have nothing to do with
South Africa. Nothing much audible from North Korea either below 4 MHz, except
a carrier on 2850 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

RE my 7234 logging, Alokesh Gupta contacted me with info that Radio
Ethiopia was on during that time in French per the new AOKI released 26 DEC.
Thanks for the help Alokesh! The reggae-style music leads me to agree
with you, but they were definitely off-freq. Had my hopes too high for
Burkina. :-)

Hello!
I just heard a mysterious russian speaking station on 1925 kHz. I don't have
any clue on what it might be. It sounded like a legal station, but it is on so
strange frequency to be a legal station. And the id was also strange, there
were some words in chinese! Here you can download a 10 minute clip of what I
heard. In the middle of that clip is a section with heay local QRM, you can
skip over it. But the best id starts at 04.10. Please listen to that clip and
tell your opinions!

Juha
This is an interesting recording, to say the least.
At :40 and 3:50 I hear "Radio (multi-syllable)" IDs, which a
Russian-speaking DXer should be able to recognize (I wasn't able to
understand it). The announcement at 4:10 is mostly in Russian but
mentions "Ni hao (something) Radio Kitaya" in Chinese, which translates
as "Hello (something) Radio China". I also heard "programa" mentioned
in the announcement. It sounds like it might be a promo for a Chinese
program or a seasons greetings message from CRI.
I'm guessing this is a mixing product between two co-located MW or SW
transmitters, but I have no idea what the location might be.
