Brazilian but strongly believe "Super Radio Deus e Amor" in Sao Paolo. First noted as an unid LA, when fading-in at 2236 3/10. Het notchable, OM vy weak with anmts in PP or SS, orchls, but weak signal. Followed to 2257, sig building but not really workable. Retuned at 2230 on 3/12 and rewarded to hear no het this day. Initially only a carrier but sig soon fading in with nightfall in ZY land. Definitely PP anmts and seemed sports/futebol nx show with replay, recorded game clips. Noted EZL / MoR ballads at 2310 recheck when signal better still, but no ID yet. Searched lists at hand and learned that frequency-nomadic "Super R. Deus e Amor" of Sao Paolo has recently been IDed here by Euro DXers. Cool log. (R Perry, Illinois) COLOMBIA: 5910, the Puerto Lleras xmtr noted with a morning xmsn on 3/12, 1104-1118. Romantic HJ canciones with guitar and accordian. Deep fade cycle, nice at peaks and all but gone at troughs. OM locutor mentioning "la radio colombiana" but didn't ID relay source (Marfil Estereo or Alcaravan Radio). Need to get to this earlier next time, before propagation path fade-out. But as luck would have it, gh in Enid OK was tuning this just hours earlier and reports that it was a relay of Radio Alcaravan -- tnx for ID! (R Perry, Illinois) BOLIVIA - Radio Lipex, Uyuni, heard with fair sig but blipping ute QRM at 1025 until lost at 1047 on 3/12. Ancr a high-voiced OM in SS and lang (QQ or Aymara?) between Andes-flavored music, with clear mentions of 'Bolivia' and several t/cks for GMT-4.

(R Perry, Illinois) SOLOMON ISLANDS - 5019.85t, SIBC Honiara, tentative, noted 3/13 1125 tune-in with pretty good carrier level and pgming decipherable mainly when blaring Cuba 5025 in pgm pauses. Sig fading up by 1200 but still nearly unusable. Fragments of orchl and piano music, OM with muffled anmts (intonation and pace at times sounding EE but not readable). Some country music. OM long anmt 1155 to top of hour, with burst of orchl mx. Anmts continued on hr, then orchl music or theme 1202 (almost sounded lika NA, but not sure) and lost 1204. At 1205.30 seems carrier was cut. All I can say is this is a pretty painful way to tune Honiara -- back in the day, they used to come in a heckuva lot better than this . . . ;-) (R Perry, Illinois) ----------------------------------------- Ralph Perry, Wheaton, Illinois Drake R8B; Eton E1; Hallicrafters SX100; Knightkit Star Roamer Dentron Super Tuner + Ameco PLF-2 + Palomar P-408 Longwires (150' + 100') ------------------------------ Message: 3 Date: Sun, 13 Mar 2011 09:38:39 -0700 (PDT) From: Glenn Hauser <wghau...@yahoo.com> To: d...@yahoogroups.com Cc: s...@mailman.qth.net Subject: [HCDX] Glenn Hauser logs March 13, 2011 Message-ID: <962786.21181...@web114004.mail.gq1.yahoo.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 ** CUBA [and non]. When DST went off last fall, RHC surprisingly moved its Spanish programming one UT hour later, i.e. keeping it on the same local time, so with DST of UT -4 resuming March 13, in co?rdination with Yanqui Imperialism, we expected program times to shift back one UT hour earlier, but at the beginning of the day this did not happen --- no change in UT: 1336, on 15120, `Cuba Campesina` is starting with its theme song and announcements, instead of `En Contacto`, the DX program we were expecting. At least it is still not conflicting with Spain`s DX program `Amigos de la Onda Corta` adjacent on 15125 and much stronger // 15170, both via COSTA RICA, which remains at 1330 Sundays, but no telling when that will be scheduled once A-11 arrive. RHC`s `Revista Iberoamericana` is billed as 5-7 pm Cuban time, so maybe that transmission at least will shift from 22-24 to 21-23 UT and along with it, `En Contacto` around 2240 instead of 2345. We were astounded to hear English from RHC in the morning! March 13 at 1351 on the weak frequency 11730, while all the others remained in Spanish --- 11760, 12040, 13680, 13780, 15120, 15230, 15360. English seemed to be in ``news`` segment about Japan, human rights concerns (ha, ha, ha, from Castros` Cuba???) in Bahrain, Yemen; then commentary on ALBA, too literally translated, e.g. employing ``expressed`` as an intransitive verb! 1359 started philatelic show, but 1400 morphed into Spanish, now // all the other frequencies. Our hopes were dashed for a regular morning English broadcast, as this was apparently a SNAFU in the playbacks, but bears further checking. At 1436, `En Contacto` had just started with birthday segment, so remains at the same time as before, at least for now, but by now, 12040 and 13680 have gone off, as they habitually do on Sundays after 1400, whether or not there is any `Al?, Presidente`. And today there was not, as they did not even bother to fire up the special frequencies 13750, 15370, 17750, also silent at 1526 check, and at 1605. Still on for `En Contacto` until 1450, the main feature being about R. Reloj and its r?le in the revolution, were 11730, 11760, 13780, 15120, and with heavy CCI, 15360. Now, will the third play still be at 0240 UT Monday, or 0140? How about Esperanto: will there be any this week at scheduled time of 1500 on 11760 only? Of course not! Stayed in Spanish, also at 1525 recheck. Maybe will show at 2230 Sunday on 15370, which has been more reliable lately. ?Aj?! RHC sometimes sneaks in changes to its website schedule which you might not expect since there is no specific effective date on it, not to be confused with the automatically displayed current date: http://www.radiohc.cu/espanol/c_frecuencia/frecuencias.htm Don`t even bother looking at the versions presented in other languages, which are left to languish far outdated. At 1610 I take a look and see that Esperanto on 11760 Sundays is now shown as 1600 instead of 1500 --- and yes, there it is, when 11760 is monitored at 1612. This should be more convenient, at a time when Spanish transmissions are in siesta. Looking over the rest of the schedule, there are no new frequencies shown, and I don`t see any other changes; overall Spanish hours are still listed as 12-16 and 22-06, rather than shifting one UT hour earlier. And yes, no English shown on 11730 before 1400. Oh oh, unlike last spring, it seems that Cuba has NOT yet gone on DST, the same date as USA. In order to express its independence, Cuba is doing it one week later this year on March 20, according to http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/clockchange.html?n=99 No other country does it on that date, but close to Iran on March 21. So next Sunday, we shall have to check all this out again. Meanwhile, there may be some added confusion about jamming hours, with Mart? and Miami on DST while Cuba is not (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** KOREA SOUTH [non]. 6045, KBS World Radio relay via Sackville, Spanish at 06-07 to Europe, has been tough to hear clearly ever since last November when RHC glommed onto 6050 with much stronger signal. But March 13 at 0624 I notice that the VTC, or rather Babcock fill-music loop is playing instead of KBS, so RCI has lost the feed from Seoul: the same music as always played between VOV relays on 6175, and also heard during other breakdowns, e.g. from SENTECH (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** LIBYA. 17725, VOAf from the GJ, March 13 audible around 1345 presumably in Swahili; 1415 check, poor in English, by 1525 fair-good with music; still nothing on 21695 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A.

At 2155 UT March 13, Crystal Ship mailing list notified: ``Good evening pirate radio DXers!

(John Poet, The Crystal Ship, DX LISTENING DIGEST) Just barely audible carrier here at 2215 check, maybe to improve later (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. It looks like I assumed incorrectly that after the DST timechange, WWCR-1 would be on 15825 starting at 2000 UT instead of 7465. March 13 at 2034 check, 7465 is already on, so presumably started at hourtop 2000. This is counterintuitive, since it`s getting further into daylight, when a higher frequency should be called for, not a lower one. On the morning of March 13, WWCR had still not posted its new schedules after the old ones expiring March 12, but at 2140 UT, the new ones are up, valid for two weeks but already mislabeled as A-11. I have changed all the MHz to kHz to keep the numbers searchable. WWCR A11 Schedule March 13, 2011 to March 26, 2011 CDT UT Transmitter #1 - 100 KW - 46 Degrees 12:00 AM-04:00 AM 0500-0900 3215 04:00 AM-06:00 AM 0900-1100 9985 06:00 AM-03:00 PM 1100-2000 15825 03:00 PM-05:00 PM 2000-2200 7465 05:00 PM-08:00 PM 2200-0100 3195 08:00 PM-12:00 AM 0100-0500 3215 Transmitter #2 - 100 KW - 85 Degrees 12:00 AM-07:00 AM 0500-1200 5935 07:00 AM-10:00 AM 1200-1500 7490 10:00 AM-03:00 PM 1500-2000 12160 03:00 PM-05:00 PM 2000-2200 9350 05:00 PM-07:00 PM 2200-0000 5070 07:00 PM-12:00 AM 0000-0500 5935 Transmitter #3 - 100 KW - 40 Degrees 12:00 AM-07:00 AM 0500-1200 4840 07:00 AM-07:00 PM 1200-0000 13845 07:00 PM-12:00 AM 0000-0500 4840 Transmitter #4 - 100 KW - 90 Degrees 12:00 AM-07:00 AM 0500-1200 5890 07:00 AM-09:00 PM 1200-0200 9980 09:00 PM-12:00 AM 0200-0500 5890 Presumably, 15825 will get its usual extension to 2100 UT when A-11 really starts on March 27. Until then, WORLD OF RADIO, Fridays now at 2030 will remain on 7465. Program schedule has also been updated March 13 for DST, and reconfirms the three WORLD OF RADIO airings, one UT hour earlier. I don`t see any other surprises in the above schedules, but new 3195, which started Feb 28, has finally been integrated, and moves one UT hour earlier to start at 2200, which is awfully early for 90 meters, currently two hours before local sunset, and counting. Checking for it at 2205 UT March 13, nothing is audible on 3195, nor is WWCR on 7465/7490 which is supposedly replaces/succeeds. Unfortunately, starting 7465 a real hour earlier makes it collide with Radio Tirana`s French broadcast to Europe, also aimed at North America, Monday-Saturday on 7465; its time change to 1900 will not go into effect for another two weeks. In A-11, R. Tirana English to Europe will then be at 2000-2030 Mon-Sat on 7465, and WWCR will not be on it until 2100, as planned (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** VENEZUELA [non]. As in my earlier report on CUBA, it looked as if there would be no `Al?, Presidente` this Sunday March 13, nothing on the usual RHC relay frequencies as late as 1605 UT. But when I turned on the radio again at 1916, I was surprised to hear Cuban traditional music, probably replay of `Cuba Campesina` show, on 11690 vs the RTTY on low side, and also on fair 13680, not the big signal we get from another transmitter/antenna in the mornings. These two frequencies used to be on in the daytime before RHC stopped broadcasting in Spanish between 1600 and 2200 as of February 1. But they are also officially scheduled for `Al?, Presidente` on Sundays only, nominally from 1400 UT. So I checked the other three A,P channels, and there was El Hugazo, who has shown up after all; the start must have been much later than usual. 13750 was best by far with VG signal, 17750 next, would have been equivalent if the modulation were not way down, and only fair on 15370. I also checked all the other RHC daytime frequencies on 11, 13 and 15 MHz, but none of them were on. It looks as if 13680 and 11690 were on the air only because of El Hugazo, yet carrying the wrong programming, RHC. At next check 2030, 17750, 15370 and 13750 were all off the air again. That doesn`t mean the show was over, as far as Radio Nacional de Venezuela is concerned, as El Hugazo will go on and on for hours as long as he likes, and indeed `Alo, Presidente` is still running En Vivo via http://www.alopresidente.gob.ve/ at 2120 UT with clock showing 4:50 pm, but can`t find any info on this homepage after the fact about what time it really started. By 2155 El Hugazo is no longer seen tho the live video is still running (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) Updated March 13: DX/SWL/Media Programs: http://www.worldofradio.com/dxpgms.html World of Radio complete schedule: http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html ------------------------------ Message: 7 Date: Sun, 13 Mar 2011 19:43:26 -0700 (PDT) From: Stewart MacKenzie <wdx...@yahoo.com> To: Anker Peterson <anker.peter...@mail.dk>, Arnie Coro <ar...@rhc.cu>, BCL NEWS <bcln...@yahoogroups.com>, Duane Fischer <dfisc...@usol.com>, Hard Core DX <hard-core-dx@hard-core-dx.com>, Marie Lamb <mal...@cumbredx.net>, Maryann Kehoe <atl...@webtv.net>, Prime Time Shortwave <primetimeshortw...@yahoogroups.com>, SWL QTH <s...@mailman.qth.net> Cc: Adrian Peterson <adr...@awr.org>, Allen Graham <agra...@hcjb.org.ec> Subject: [HCDX] Shortwave Radio Logs from WDX6AA Message-ID: <542146.65968...@web30701.mail.mud.yahoo.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 >>> CANADA??
