** AUSTRALIA [and non]. Contrary to the night before, strange propagation Jan
13 at 0605: no sign of RA in English on 13630, 13690, 15160 or 15240. (Yet,
RNZI at 0612 check was there on 13730 DRM, 11725 AM = SSOB and close to OSOB
except for WEWN 11870). Is there some propagational barrier across the Tasman,
or is Shepparton temporarily off?
But I do hear some other signals on 19m, notably Indonesian, poorly on 15290.
Nothing in HFCC --- but Aoki reveals it`s Radio Australia, 100 kW, 205 degrees
via Tainan, TAIWAN, M-F at 0600-0630, while on Sat/Sun it`s filled by English.
China, of course, forbids HFCC to include anything from Taiwan, even off-topic
relays of other stations. See also CHINA.
6020, at 1216 Jan 13, RA continuous coverage of flooding from ABC Local Radio,
Queensland, mentions access to much stuff via http://www.abc.net.au/emergency
including an extensive `frequency finder` for all ABC radio and TV networks,
but not updated to flag any transmitters flooded off.
9580, I am listening to the best frequency at 1223 Jan 16, with discussion of
food shortages, such as fruit, vegetables and milk, because farmers cannot get
them to market by road, rail, and air if possible is not cost-effective;
shelves on many stores are bare. Some crops are going unharvested as a result,
if they are not already inundated (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. With Australia [q.v.] strangely missing as the usual OSOB on 19m, I
search for others and find two weak signals in Chinese, but not //, Jan 13 at
0609 on 15500, and 0611 on 15480. Aoki says these are:
15480, CNR1, 100 kW, 222 degrees from Beijing 572 site, and
15500, CNR2, 150 kW, 180 degrees from Beijing 491 site --- legitimate
transmissions instead of jammers!
But like the previous nightmiddle, China is also barely propagating on 16m: Jan
13 at 0610, 17710 in English, 17740 somewhat stronger in Chinese. Per Aoki,
these are the external service CRI:
17710, 500 kW, 193 degrees from Beijing site
17740, 500 kW, 190 degrees from Xi`an site
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. 8400, Jan 13 at 1219, Firedrake all-musical jamming is audible, very
poor with flutter. My first log of this frequency since Nov 30, 2010 at 1353; I
am usually tuning in the 13-15 period, rather than before 13 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** COLOMBIA [and non]. 14347-USB, Jan 13 at 1249, ``Spider Web`` net, hardly
any stations audible except one which seemed to ID as HK3-zero, but the final
character should be a letter, of course. Sounds like an American. One contactee
later was WA9TIR. Net ran past 1259; not listed in the final April 1, 2007
edition of John Norfolk`s Nets to You, but googling finds this right away:
http://www.spiderwebnet.net/
``THE CAPTAIN Howard (Spider) Webb HK3WOP
Silent Key on 4/30/10 He will be missed!
The Spider Web Net meets every morning at 8:30 AM EST/DST on 14.347 MHz. The
net is open to everyone, the list is the normal crew that may check in. Stop by
and say hello! Thank you for stopping by, the web pages and pictures within are
for the private use of its members.``
Most of the net members
http://www.spiderwebnet.net/members.htm
have US calls, but there are a bunch of HK`s, and I must have been hearing this
one:
http://www.spiderwebnet.net/Hams%20on%20the%20net/HK3ZOR%20Harry/hk3zor.htm
Guess what, 8:30 am EST = 1330 UT, but it was really on earlier.
HK3ZOR`s entry at QRZ.com is more correct:
HK3ZOR
HARRY MARRINER
AA 100510
BOGOTA,
Colombia
Net Control Operator for the SpiderWeb Net 14.347 Mhz 1230-1330 GMT Spiderweb
Web Site: http://www.spiderwebnet.net
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [and non]. 9965.5, Jan 13 at 1238 I am astounded to hear Spanish
discussion about Cuba in the clear, no jamming. So R. Rep?blica really exists
on this frequency, presumably the ELCOR, Gu?piles, COSTA RICA transmitter which
at night is on 5954.2v.
Meanwhile, 9955 has wall-of-noise jamming against WRMI, even tho current
schedule shows NO Spanish exile programs any day between 12 and 13 (but R.
Libertad daily at 13-14). The jamming presumably includes the new Monday 1230
airing of WORLD OF RADIO, tnx a lot, Arnie! See also USA: WRMI.
At 1358, 9965 was being jammed, and at 1403, 9955 jammed but not heavily during
audible English religious broadcast.
As for RHC itself, Jan 13 at 1426: 11760, 12040 and 15120 are missing, but
audible on 11730, 13680, 13780, 13880, 15230, 15360. At 1503, 11760 is on but
weak, along with 11730, 11690. At 1506, strong open carrier is still on 13680,
atop R. Farda music // 15410 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** IRAN. 7370, Jan 13 at 1433, Qur`an with flutter, 1434 YL in Urdu?, 1436 news
theme similar to Cairo`s, but weakening. HFCC has this as IRIB Hindi,
1430-1530, 500 kW, 118 degrees from Kamalabad. Now, would I be getting it by
long-path, or off-the-back short path? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KOREA NORTH [non]. 5910, reactivated frequency for Shiokaze, Sea Breeze via
JSR Tokyo, Jan 13 barely audible at 1400 in Japanese, with piano background.
Ron Howard first reported this ex-5985 on Jan 12, also in Japanese. Expect
English on Friday (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 1120, KEOR, Catoosa-Sperry-Tulsa, which was open carrier afternoon
of Jan 11, has resumed soul music Jan 13 at 1605 UT check (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 11665, checking again for the unknown language on WYFR during the
2100-2145 half-sesquihour, Jan 12: 2059 tune-in, closing Polish as scheduled
from O`bee, no break in transmission, and opening Arabic to Europe before 2100
sharp. 2104 still in Arabic. Yes, to Europe, same 44 degree azimuth (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9370, WTJC`s defective transmitter is still undermodulated on
fundamental, but squeezing out loud extremely distorted spurs: Jan 13 at 0615
circa 9400. At 1221 circa 9394 and 9346; at 1425 circa 9345 and 9395 plus more
25 kHz lower around 9320, but fortunately not 25 kHz higher, leaving Greek
music spur-free on 9420 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9885, VOA Spanish with ``Enfoque Andino`` news of Brazilian flooding,
which is hardly Andean, Jan 13 at 1235, then frequency announcement as ``9885,
13715 y 15590`` --- weeks after 13715 shifted without notice to 13750, they
still don`t know about it in the studio! And reconfirmed on 13750 at 1247
check, poor signal this early unlike VG 9885 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A. 9405, WINB still very poor signal at 0615 check Jan 13, with Radio
2:11 from Good Friends Radio Network.
13570, WINB, Jan 13 at 1405, ``Radio 2:11 on WBCQ, 9330, with 50,000 watts of
amplitude modulation`` --- No mention of WINB, so Rod Hembree is still unaware
he has bought gobs of time on this station, or hasn`t got around to recutting
his IDs. Apart from the lack of AM on 9330, and the lack of a stable carrier on
13570, modulation is equally distorted on both, emanating thus from
Orangeville, Ontario. I can`t imagine anyone really wants to listen to this,
even if it were clear (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. The second WRMI airing of WOR 1547, Thursday Jan 13 at 1605 check,
was unjammed, tho signal poor. Probably will be jammed for next airing 2200
Thursday. Best WORLD OF RADIO chances next: Thursday 2000 on WBCQ 7415; UT
Friday 0430 on WWRB 3185, Friday 2130 on WWCR 7465. Full updated sked:
http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** VATICAN [non non]. 4005, Jan 13 at 0627, poor signal in English on
reduced-carrier SSB, mentions Vatican Radio, 0629 ``Laudetur Jesus Christus``
and bells. This is the small 10 kW transmitter within the City/State itself,
rather than in extra-territorial Santa Maria de Galeria, Italy. Aoki shows 10
kW, 340 degrees. Latin Mass is scheduled to follow at 0630. I often tune across
here on the way down from Chiquimula and/or Washington, and notice DW German
250 kW via Skelton on 3995, but first time recently that I have heard VR (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###
