Signal is drifting upward as time passes, from 6134.804 to 6134.827KHz. At 1055 signal begins to improve from a threshold to a poor level and the audio is much better. (Chuck Bolland, January 20, 2011) Dominican Republic, 6025.082, Radio Amanecer, 1105-1115, Noted a male in Spanish language comments over music with a serious tone. Later he is joined by a second male as they both continue commenting with TC's. Signal was fair but splatter from Marti ruined it. (Chuck Bolland, January 20, 2011) Peru, 4774.95, Radio Tarma, 1125-1135, Another one of those signals that is barely audible with a male in Spanish comments. A second station is on 4775 KHz which may be the Brazilian, Radio Congonhas? (Chuck Bolland, January 20, 2011) China, 4820.00, People's Broadcasting Station, Tent, 1133-1145, Noted a male and female in Chinese/Mandarin language comments during this period. Signal was really weak. Tried to find a parallel for this, but couldn't. CNR1 is also listed on this frequency. (Chuck Bolland, January 20, 2011) China, 4919.997, People's Broadcasting Station, Xizang, 1150-1200, Noted a male in possibly Tibetian language comments. Not sure about the language. Noted a parallel signal on 5240 KHz.

Yes, until 16 March, says WRTH 2011, but whether there will be DST next `summer` is subject to confirmation. May I point out that it`s absurd for a country inside the tropix at latitude 17 to be going on DST, but just tell that to M?xico and Brasil! It`s the fashionable thing to do. RA News says floods are now hitting 70 towns in N & W Victoria, while Brisbane is bracing for a ``king tide``, i.e. 0030 UT Friday, where they have enough sense to avoid DST: http://news.ninemsn.com.au/national/floods/8199804/brisbane-nervous-ahead-of-king-tide What are king tides? http://www.msq.qld.gov.au/Tides/King-tides.aspx RA also audible at 0705 with `Pacific Beat` on 13630 and 15160, but not 13690, 15240. 13690 is scheduled to close at 0700, but not 15240, until 0800 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CANADA. 9625, once again Jan 20 at 0702, CBCNQ transmitter is still on with open carrier an hour after sign-off. Say, I have an idea: why not apply modulation, such as CBC Overnight? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** COLOMBIA. 5910-, slightly on low side, goodbye to the peppy music Marfil Est?reo plays all night, relayed by HJDH. Jan 20 at 0710, no music, but continuous Spanish preaching past 0715. QSL manager Rafael Rodr?guez has announced that 5910 has switched to relaying the AM 1530 outlet of Colombia para Cristo, Radio Alcarav?n, ``que genera su se?al desde Puerto Lleras con mejor programaci?n musical propia de los llanos orientales``. Maybe sometime, but not now. The other HJDH, 6010 remains with La Voz de tu Conciencia, but blocked by RHC Spanish until about 0710, then hearing instead MEXICO, q.v. (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA. 9153.0, no signal Jan 20 at 0702, unlike 24 hours earlier cut spy numbers = letters on MCW with super-signal. These things tend to operate on a weekly rather than daily schedule, so should show again at least on next Wednesday. 5955, Jan 20 at 1241 pulse jamming still going while ELCOR has probably QSYed the R. Rep?blica 5954.2v transmission to 9965.5, where there is full-bore wall-of-noise jamming. 6030, Jan 20 at 1305, pulse jamming still here long after R. Mart? closed, and now mixing with Firedrake as usual vs Ming Hui Radio, Taiwan, Commie jamming vs Commie jamming! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also COLOMBIA; VENEZUELA [non] ** CUBA [non]. 7210-LSB, Jan 20 at 1245, Nelson, N1NR, Bushkill PA is on this early ranting in Spanish about Venezuela, petroleum, Cuba, el ALBA, etc., and a contactee also audible (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** EQUATORIAL GUINEA. 15190, I still have not heard R. Africa lately in the 21-23 UT period, but Jan 20 at 1408 a weak carrier is cutting off and on (or bumping power up and down, maybe not completely off; or is that a co-channel carrier I still hear? Possibly ZYE622). Some intermittent modulation too; at 1507 a YL preacher, still cutting off (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** ETHIOPIA. 9705 Jan 20 at 1512, fair with HOA music; also 9560 has usual het, from R. Ethiopia transmitters, longpath (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** GUAM. 11620, Jan 20 at 1435 Asian language, certainly not AIR GOS in English as on 9690, only this. Must be KTWR, Korean at 1345-1500 (Sun -1430, Sat -1445) per HFCC. 9345, Jan 20 at 1510 just as I tune in a VG carrier with tone cuts off; 1511 now I can hear some weak rockish music, YL in Chinese. Scheduled as KTWR at 15-16 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** GUATEMALA. 4052.5-, R. Verdad still audible at 1220 UT Jan 20 with hymn, slightly unstable S9+12 carrier, English talk about a saviour (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** HONDURAS. The two missionary stations are usually audible on 90m before sunrise: 3250, Jan 20 at 1228 Spanish message to a se?or with musical background, from HRPC; 3340, Jan 20 at 1230, weak music from R. Misiones Internacional, HRMI (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** KOREA NORTH. 6285, fair Jan 20 at 1244 triumphal choral music, then into YL soloist. Aoki shows 200 kW, 28 degrees from Kujang with VOK/KCBS Korean service, about to switch to 325 degrees at 1300 for VOK/R. Pyongyang Korean service (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** MALAYSIA [and non]. RTM Kajang runs some of its transmitters on offset frequencies, making them easy to spot even if not enough signal to hear any modulation, as usually the case here. A staple het is on the lo side of HCJB 6050 around 12-13, and Jan 20 at 1215 I am hearing a lower-pitched het on 5965, i.e. not offset quite so much to that loside, i.e. of CRI Korean via Xi`an and/or VOR in Chinese via Vladivostok. At 1300 the het is still there as CRI theme music reopens another hour of Korean scheduled 11-15. As in DXLD 11-03, recent measurements were 5964.80 at 2335 Jan 13, per Anker Petersen, Denmark; and 6049.64 at 2342 Jan 7, by Graham Bell, Cape Town (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** MEXICO. 710, Jan 20 at 1320, TC for 6:20, ``Ranchera de Cuauht?moc`` SID, slow SAH and CCI from US stations, i.e. 7 kW XEDP (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also UNIDENTIFIED 660 ** MEXICO [and non]. 6010-, blocked by RHC, until about 0710 UT Jan 20, in Spanish as a bonus to English scheduled until 0700. But after hearing R. Alcarav?n on 5910 [see COLOMBIA], checked 6010 for the other HJDH at 0712, and now Cuba is off, and there is a Spanish station, but soon evident it is R. Mil instead, soft music, 0714 ``11 grados, la temperatura``, Radio Mil promo. Slightly on the lo side, and some much weaker CCI making very low het, presumably HJDH (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** PHILIPPINES. After at least two days off, R. Blagovest now has accomplished two days on: 9570, Jan 20 at 1459, instrumental music pr?lude, Radio Veritas Asia sign-on in English with jazzy background, ``from Quezon City, stay tuned for a broadcast in Russian at 1500 on 9.570``. 1500 bells and R. Blagovest opening, VG as are other Philippine sites on 9430, 9760 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** RUSSIA [and non]. 9840 via Pet/Kam, surprised to find VOR English to NAm propagating well tonight, Jan 20 at 0657 music just as it is about over, much better than // 9855 Vladivostok. 9840 does have some lite CCI, presumably from the Moscow R. Rossii transmitter, Russians vs Russians! 0658 sign-off announcement for NAm, to resume at 23 on 41m; 0659 IS and off. Meanwhile, RNZI was VG opening 9765 with bellbird, and RA was good on 9710, 9660, see AUSTRALIA, while WYFR was JBA instead of usual inbooming on 9715, 9680, less than Brazil on 9675 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** SARAWAK [non]. 6205, Jan 20 at 1242, Malay-sounding conversation, flutter from R. Free Sarawak via TAJIKISTAN. Reception was much better 24 hours earlier, and there was not much signal here 0.5 hour earlier either (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 9405, Jan 20 at 0702, no signal detectable, not even a JBA carrier from WINB; is it still there? Meanwhile, FBN 9370v = WTJC ranked a steady S9+20 but quite undermodulated. WINB continues raiding programming already on other SW stations: 13570, Jan 20 at 1425 ad for a `patriot` internet anonymizer, 1426 ``The Power Hour``, already on WWCR 7490 and 13845. But it`s not parallel! Same subject, gardening discussed, and I eventually calculate that WINB is running 2 minutes and 2 seconds behind WWCR! Which explains why Joyce Riley gave a 2-minute-late timecheck. The audio of this on WINB has some of that annoying processing, which is exacerbated on WWCR. WINB carrier as always unstable, but VG signal strength now. ?Is this reflected on the WINB program schedule at http://www.winb.com/schedule.htm Of course not, even tho it`s updated to January 2, still claiming that Good Friends Radio Network runs M-F straight thru from 13 to 20 UT, Sat 15-22, and on 9405 at 0330-1130 seven nights a week. That didn`t last very long. ?What about http://www.thepowerhour.com/ Nothing found about WINB there; only mentions 7.490 for SW, and live time is 7-10 am CST [13-16 UT, M-F only presumably]. Still going on 13570 at 1506 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENINIG DIGEST) ** U S A. 4050-, KWMO, Jan 20 at 0716 makes only S9+3, not enough to overcome the noise level on 3 x 1350, unlike 24 hours earlier (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 4045-USB, Jan 20 at 1223 I hear some SSB scratching to the low side of GUATEMALA, so tune down here. Weak signals, heard Fort Myers mentioned, then discussing Saturday and Sunday plans. It`s the net Bob Wilkner has reported several times, the Marine Weather Center, from Lakeland FL, and vessels are charged a subscription fee to participate, details at http://mwxc.com/services.php Including different schedules for summer and winter, currently: Nets conducted 6 days/week, Monday through Saturday. ``WINTER: Effective during US Standard Time (November into March): 8137 USB 7:00am AST / 6:00am EST, 1100 UTC 4045 USB 7:30am AST / 6:30am EST, 1130 UTC 8104 USB 8:30am AST / 7:30am EST, 1230 UTC 12350 USB 9:30am AST / 8:30am EST, 1330 UTC 6221 USB 10am AST / 9am EST, 1400 UTC When Tropical weather has the potential to threaten any interests I'm aware of (and occasionally during periods of Spring & Fall migration), we'll conduct an evening Net, usually on 8104 USB at 7:00pm AST / 6:00pm EST, 2300 UTC, unless announced otherwise.`` I can`t find anything resembling a callsign, but the guy behind all this is one Chris Parker (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 3308-SSB, Jan 20 at 1232, AF MARS net with NCS AFF7KS and several others in informal comments, then strictly formatted message traffic about local weather conditions somewhere. Het from 3310, constant local mixing product of KGWA and KCRC, i.e. 2 x 960 + 1390. Per http://www.afmars.org/officials.shtml AFF7KS is State MARS Director Kansas, Sherm Yacher (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 9540, Jan 20 at 1250 strong open carrier. Likely WHRI, which is registered at 13-15 daily, but only uses it a fraxion of that time on weekends (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 9955, Thu Jan 20 at 1606, WORLD OF RADIO 1548 audible from WRMI, poor signal but not jammed. Next chance 2200 probably will be jammed. Rely on: UT Fri 0430 on WWRB 3185, 2130 on WWCR 7465, et al. (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 1210 kHz, Jan 20 at 1330, KGYN OK in open carrier, allowing KHAT ID clearly with one-sesquihertz SAH, Mike & Mike in the Morning, then Sports Center news. KHAT is Laramie WY, should still be on night power 1 kW instead of 10 kW day (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. Seldom is heard on radio any more the Star Spangled Banner, but there it was on 1600 at the odd time of 1335 UT Jan 20, then segu? to another anthem, unfamiliar, a state song? Certainly not Oklahoma! Ah, must have been South Vietnam`s, as song and announcements in Vietnamese followed at 1338 from KRVA, The Metroplex, TX. YL says ``Good morning`` before resuming Vietnamese. Just signing on? Surely not, as NRC AM Log says NSP, but up to 25 kW day power from 930 watts night. FCC official sunrise is 1330 UT for January, sunset 2345; February: 1315-2415. Was atop signals from Denver, heard mentioned at tune-in, and the constant off-frequency audible het from KMDO, Fort Scott KS (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** VENEZUELA [non]. 11705, Jan 20 at 1253, S9+20 open carrier instead of RNV relay via Cuba until 1300 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) UNIDENTIFIED. 660, Jan 20 at 1317, plug for La Hora Nacional, then sounded like Caliente mentioned and calls XEFW, neither of which figures on this frequency. Maybe Aguascalientes, the 50 kW XEEY (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) UNIDENTIFIED. 1670, quite a mystery here, Jan 20 at 1340 UT, rosary in Spanish, loops roughly NW/SE, then praise song in Spanish. WTDY Madison no problem but can hear it in null of unID. Ranges from deep fades to good peaks. 1345 YLs still discussing, or addressing ``Santa Mar?a, Madre de Dios``, more low-key talk. Fast SAH of about 15 Hz, 1348 losing signal. The only US Spanish station on 1670 per NRC AM Log is KHPY in Moreno Valley CA, address in Burbank. El Sembrador Ministries is Catholic, so that fits, but the trouble is, KHPY has an extremely direxional pattern toward the SW, altho nite power is 9 kW vs day power 10 kW, instead of the usual 1 kW night on X-band. No doubt they do rosaries, but a specific program schedule is lacking at http://www.esneradio.com/cms/index.php?page=programacion I have been paying more attention to 1670, since news arrived of a new station near Mexico City, XEANAH, at Universidad de An?huac, Huixquilucan, Estado de M?xico; 1 kW day and night per Fred Cant?`s website via Terry Krueger, and this is its website: http://www.anahuac.mx/radio/ Streaming worx, heard at 1743 except it`s just a music loop. Program grid http://www.anahuac.mx/radio/programacion.html shows an eclectic format, and ``Tres Bambalinas`` when I am listening. Not in my Random House dixionary, but Google says that means ``Three Scenes``. The inauguration ceremony was just this morning at 1430 UT, and a live video webcast was apparently available. Video still running, but audio is annoyingly off-mike, about something else at 1800: http://www.livestream.com/sintaxistv But the History webpage for XEANAH says the radio station started in February 2004. Do they mean on the web, or some other radio frequency? I vaguely remember hearing about it before. BTW, the Talking House in NW Enid on 1670 is still audible out to a few miles away at low-noise spots in western Enid on caradio, but not enough to block DX like this beyond its immediate neighborhood (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ### ------------------------------ Message: 4 Date: Thu, 20 Jan 2011 20:36:57 +0100 From: "Arnaldo" <sl...@ciudad.com.ar> To: <hard-core-dx@hard-core-dx.com> Cc: DXLD <d...@yahoogroups.com> Subject: [HCDX] Service will be restored - ZNBC Message-ID: <ABAB77170BA4492E812B7CAE08502316@windowsv03oj4t> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Zambia National Broadcasting Corporation-ZNBC has assured Kapiri Mposhi residents, in the Central Province that work is on going to restore Radio 1 and 2 services. Radio 1 and 2 channels have been off air since January 2 following lightening that struck off and destroyed Zamtel Equipment that carries the ZNBC Radio Signal.

Believe I heard a female in there as well as two different males. Signal was fair so far. (Chuck Bolland, January 20, 2011) Bolivia, 3310. Radio Mosoj Chaski, 2315-2325, Noted a male in Spanish language comments way down in the noise. Signal was very threshold as far as the audio was concerned, but the RF carrier was just poor. (Chuck Bolland, January 20, 2011) Bolivia, 4699.97, Radio San Miguel, 2325-2335, Noted a male in Spanish Language comments. Very emotional comments by the way. Signal was fair at this time. (Chuck Bolland, January 20, 2011) Peru, 4824.462, La Voz de la Selva, 2335-2345, Another one of those signals where the display is good, but the audio is in the noise and QRM. Noted a male talking in Spanish briefly, the music presented. (Chuck Bolland, January 20, 2011) Unident, 4865.038, 2344-0145, Have a definite carrier on this frequency with a female in comments. Audio is very weak, so can't pull out any details from the comments or which language is being spoken. There's a second signal on 4864.576KHz which has a good display, but the audio is buried in the noise. Trying to pull out some audio to no avail. Both signals had threshold audio. At 0023, the signal on 4865.038 began to fade in where the language could be Identified and it turned out to be Portuguese. Station on 4865.576 still too weak to pull out details or language by 0145. So giving up for now. (Chuck Bolland, January 20, 2011) Peru, 4954.999, Radio Cultura Amauta, 0003-0015, Noted two males in a news program. One sounded like he's in the studio and the second reporting via telephone or remote hookup. Notice that "Amauta" was mentioned often. Signal was good. (Chuck Bolland, January 21, 2011) China, 4979.991, People's Broadcasting Station,pres., 0011-0020, Noted a male and female in comments over music. Guessing that this is PBS, Xinjiang because of the format of live comments in Chinese between the male and female. I think I had a parallel on 5060.00 KHz. Signal was poor.
