STEWART MACKENZIE: PLEASE STOP FORWARDING MY REPORTS TO OTHER INDIVIDUALS AND
LISTS, ESPECIALLY THOSE WHERE I HAVE ALREADY POSTED THEM DIRECTLY.
** CANADA. 9625, Nov 26 at 0648, S9+18 open carrier from CBCNQ; no 398 Hz tone
at the moment (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 9540, Nov 26 at 1346, RHC isn`t always active on this minor frequency,
and now it might as well turn it off, since the hum is louder than the program
modulation. Hardly any better at 1511. Wiggle that patchcord! (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGST)
** NETHERLANDS [non]. 9895, Nov 26 at 0700, RNW with 3-pip timesignal about 7
seconds late! And news in Dutch. This is right after a site switch from ``KCH,
MDA`` = Grigoriopol, PRIDNESTROVYE to Nauen, GERMANY. HFCC shows a 3-minute gap
0657-0700, but this was definitely on before 0700, and doubt the gap was
anywhere near two sesquiminutes.
I am NOT nitpicking: timesignal pips denote precision to at least a fraxion of
one second. When this cannot be accomplished for whatever reason of
feed/digital delays, they should be eliminated/suppressed. This kind of
slopperation is all too common nowadays, but it`s sad that even RNW does it.
Don`t rely on it for any clock-setting or purpose requiring precision.
One version of news about the 21480 tests from MADAGASCAR said Nov 26 would be
the last date, but already missing Nov 26 at 1402, 1450 chex, clearing the band
for VCR radiations on 21477.5 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** RUSSIA. 9880, Nov 26 at 1523, here`s another audible frequency in our
mornings from VOR in English: discussion of Russian national interests, fair
signal. HFCC shows 15-19, 250 kW, 247 degrees from Pet/Kam to CIRAF 49 = SE
Asia (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TAIWAN [non]. 6875, Nov 26 at 0652, RTI still in German instead of correct
Spanish via WYFR toward Mexico (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U K [non?]. 29620-NBFM, Nov 26 at 1557, large signal from a repeater
relaying British hams, an M1, and G1KJB; also KA2UAY, Greg(g) in NYC. Code ID
went by at 1559 but they just kept talking and I couldn`t copy it. Relayed
signals were rather distorted with vox and sounded like the input was from VHF,
2m? but u.o.s. 10m repeater inputs are 100 kHz below output, per
http://www.qsl.net/kc4qlp/10meterrepeater.html
which lists about 42 of them on this frequency in North America! When the band
is wide open, this ought to cause quite a cacophony, also on many other
frequencies in this part of 10m, but I was not hearing any others at the
moment; mostly inactive? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1592 monitoring: 9955, Sat Nov 26 at 1601, barely
audible to somewhat audible; at least lucking out this hour without jamming or
CCI.
Unlike most other entries, Aoki B-11
http://www1.m2.mediacat.ne.jp/binews/bib11.txt
attempts to show many of the individual programs on WRMI, but much of it is
wrong, still including defunct DX Partyline even tho labeled B-11; most
remaining WORLD OF RADIO times missing, including this one; fails to realize
that WRMI is not even on the SW air M-F between 15 and 23, and not using the
317 degree antenna for almost two years.
Remaining SW airings of WOR 1592 this week:
Sat 1830 WRMI 9955
Sun 0500 WTWW 5755
Sun 0900 WRMI 9955
Sun 1630 WRMI 9955

music during the height of Ramadan. Fair signal, but hefty QRM from
China, co-channel. Myanmar and AIR external service off. Heard with
WinRadio G303e rx and terminated 100m wire from 60 foot tower. Ms. Tan
also confirms that 594 kHz is no more. The QSL eMail reads:
"*/Greetings Mr Albert Muick,/*
I apologize for the late reply on this matter; the report is correct by
our station logs. The previous report log dated September 2010 that you
have attached may have gotten lost in the mail. Nevertheless, it gives
us much pleasure to know that we have a strong support of listeners
overseas and that it can be heard while you were posted at Kandahar
Airfield, southern Afghanistan. As informed by our Transmission Unit,
the frequency of 594 Khz is no longer available. However, you can still
tune in to our netradio at www.rtb.gov.bn <http://www.rtb.gov.bn/> and
click on any of the 5 radio networks i.e. Nasional FM, Pilihan FM,
Pelangi FM, Harmoni FM & Nur Islam. "
ICELAND, Reykjavik via Grindavik Radio NAVTEX, 518, f/d very friendly
letter from Commander Hjalti Saemundsson of the Icelandic Coast Guard
confirming my report and explaining their current setup in 5 days for
email report in English. QSL was sent via airmail. QSL email is:
SAR(at)lhg(dot)is . See comments below.
ITALY, IBF Turin Commemorative Broadcast, 5000, f/d e-QSL certificate
from Radio Maria QSL Service in 12 days for English eMail report. Heard
via Cumbria, England remote receiver. Power listed as 20 watts.
The Iceland issue is a little hard to follow. CDR Hjalti Saemundsson
states: "...The Icelandic Coast Guard became responsible for the
operation of 6 coastal radio stations around Iceland in 2005. These are
Reykjavik (TFA), Vestmannaeyjar (TFV), Hornafjordour (TFT), Nes (TFM),
Siglufjordour (TFX) and Isafjordour (TFZ) (diacritics not included -
Al). They are all now remotely operated from Reykjavik which is within
the Icelandic Coast Guard - Maritime Traffic Service/Operations Centre
(TFB)."
"In recent years the whole maritime radio network has been renewed. All
antennas changed out and new established. This includes the NAVTEX as
well. The sole transmitter used to be just outside Reykjavik but
instead now we have two, one at Saudanes on the north coast and one at
Grindavik on the south coast. With these two we are able to cover all
our NAVTEX area."
"Although we are operating from Reykjavik and the radio mechanism is no
longer connected directly to the six former radio stations, broadcast is
still associated with them, basically for traditional reasons."
He goes on to verify that I caught a 600W transmission from a 60m omni
antenna and that the callsign is TFA, and *NOT* TFK which had been
issued to Grindavik Radio and as listed in the Klingenfuss directory.
Apparently, since they control those tx'ers from Reykjavik, the callsign
becomes that of Reykjavik, or TFA.
It seems that mediumwave stations the world over are shutting down in
favor of national FM channels. The Asia-Pacific region is no exception,
with Brunei now confirming that their 594 kHz operation has been shut
down. I have asked for additional details and about the possibility of
reactivation on special occasions and await an answer. Aside from the
occasional UTE, this was the last medium- or shortwave station to QSL
from that nation.
Vy 73 to all,

** ALBANIA [and non]. 7530, Nov 26 at 2115, S9+22 signal from R. Tirana, which
ought to be plenty, but it`s undermodulated, and already in the music-fill
portion of the semi-hour broadcast in English to Europe, with North America
onward now working as winter sets in, daily except Sundays. Comparing to India
7550, slightly weaker at S9+20 and less solid, but quite louder with its music
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. 11765, Nov 26 at 2302, S?per R?dio Deus ? Amor [the accent on the e
is absolutely required, so if it`s missing where you read this, don`t blame
me], full ID for MW, SW on 6060, 9565, 11765, ``24 horas no ar``. Poor signal
with flutter, much weaker than 11780 RNA of course; so I checked the rest of
25m for other listed Brazilians: something on 11815, maybe 11925 squeezed by
HCJB/Chile 11920 and remnant jamming 11930, very weak 11750 maybe ZY, nothing
on 11735 or the others (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [non]. C-SPAN cable in the US aired the third (of how many?) episode
about USG international broadcasting, Nov 26 at 2330 UT; usual repeats are
Monday 1300 and UT Tuesday 0100 on C-SPAN 2. Or on demand:
The Communicators with Carlos Garc?a
Nov 22, 2011 C-SPAN | Communicators
Carlos Garc?a-P?rez talked about U.S. government-sponsored broadcasts to Cuba.
Radio broadcasts into the communist-ruled country began in 1985, television
broadcasts in 1990, and they are known as Radio and TV Mart?. The broadcasts
are jammed by the Cuban government and some in Congress argue that the future
of TV Marti in particular is in question because viewership is small, compared
with U.S. broadcasts to other countries, and news from other Western-based news
operations appears to be available.
This week "The Communicators" airs the third in a series about U.S.
Government-sponsored broadcasts to other countries. These broadcasts are
services of the Broadcasting Board of Governors. . .
http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/302825-1
In case you are wondering, CGP said he was born in Miami of Cuban parents, grew
up in Puerto Rico, moved his family back to Miami for this job. Paints a
picture of an effective RTV Mart?, successful lately by sending DVDs of
programs to Cubans; and vows that the station will continue to be a major media
source in post-Castro Cuba
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** EGYPT. 6270, Nov 26 at 2152, I thought that R. Cairo`s English to Europe was
here at 2115-2245, but nothing audible now, nor on listed alternate 5770; is it
really on and not propagating? How about the 2300-2430 English to NAm? Nothing
either at 2309 on 6270. At that time, 9305 Arabic was audible, and an open/low
modulated carrier on 9250, maybe for the Central American Arabic/Spanish beam
starting at 2330 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** JAPAN [and non]. 17605, UT Saturday Nov 26 at 2305, NHK Japanese good
despite southward beam via BONAIRE ending news, into weekly western classical
music appreciation show with 3-minute introduxion before music; // weaker 11665
direct which is ahead of 17605 by about one second (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** PERU [non]. 6090, Nov 27 at 0140 I check this frequency just in case
ANGUILLA is off --- no, DGS lives on! If it were off we might have a chance of
hearing the new Peruvian, Radio Universal testing, as Dario Monferini heard Nov
19 from Carlos Gamarra Moscoso of the station that they were testing between
0130 and 0300, running less than rated 5 kW. We suggested they should also try
at 1000 UT just after Anguilla signs off. Full details including address in:
http://www.w4uvh.net/dxld1147.txt
BTW, on WORLD OF RADIO 1592, I misspoke, calling this on second reference,
Radio Universo (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** POLAND [non]. 15260, Sat Nov 26 from 2200, I settle down to listen to the
very good signal from PRES via Sackville, CANADA, which on UT Saturdays is
nothing but a Polish mass. Obviously no concern about separation of church and
state in either country! It would be nice to hear a Jewish service now and
then, fat chance of that. During the first two-thirds, sounds like the same guy
is speaking, alternately singing, and he has a good voice for the Catholic
tunes.
Nary a word of Latin to be heard, except ``caritas`` at 2249 in some kind of PS
by another speaker, also mentioning ``solidarnosc`` with acutes on the last two
letters, equivalent to shch, one letter in Cyrillic Russian. Now and then a
cognate with the more familiar Russian could be understood, but not much else,
meaning I can appreciate this as an art form without the baggage of belief or
axually understanding what is being said.
It is hard to believe any deity would mandate that followers have to go thru
this routine at least once a week in order to remain on his good side. But hey,
all deities are made up by human beings as a form of projexion. The music is
nice, accompanied by organ, but overall rather sad and slow, suitable for
dozing or napping. This ain`t no ``Great Gettin`-Up Mornin```! It is a good
substitute for `Marion`s Attic`, a rather different music show, which is no
longer to be heard during the same hour, via WBCQ now silent on Saturdays.
It`s not a midnite mass either, as local time is 23:00+ unless Poland has
unexpectedly stayed on summer time. Transmission outro started already at 2252
mentioning Hotbird parameters, and now I check // 7330 `direct` from
Woofferton, which by now is also arriving sufficiently, about one second before
closer Sackville, delayed by satellite feed. Back to 15260 at 2259 to find it
already gone, while 7330 lasts until 2259.5* without any further announcements
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** VATICAN. 6075, Nov 26 at 2150, something in Arabic, stronger than adjacent
6070 CFRX. Yes, it`s Vatican Radio which has inherited this frequency from
defunct Deutsche Welle; HFCC shows 2140-2200 in Arabic, 100 kW, 326 degrees
from SMG, not toward any majority-Arab country but western Europe, and
consequently also USward. Besides extensive morning transmissions, VR has 6075
on all the way from 1500 to 2310 UT, with frequent power changes (100/250 kW),
and beam changes (10/4/26/326/266/326/330 degrees) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
