Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1
** BRAZIL. 4885, Feb 26 at 0649, funny song, better than usual signal S9+16 vs
CODAR; 0652 partial ID caught mentioning SAm, kHz, no doubt the #1 60m ZY
signal here overnight, R. Clube do Par? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. 11780, Feb 25 at 2210, bigsig with continuous pop music from RNA,
accompanying my afternoon nap to compensate for staying up too late and arising
too early, all for the sake of DX. It`s hardly soporific, but did the trick for
me; awoke at 2252 for an ID as R. Nacional A-M, as in relay of 980, rather than
AMazonia.
0635 UT Feb 26, 11780 is already back on unlike last UT Sunday, when it
normally runs all-night, same kind of lively music, VG signal vs Bandeirantes
JBA on 11925+. Brasil is now back on normal time of UT+3 in the east, rather
than UT+2, so on other mornings, 11780 should not be appearing until sometime
between 0730 and 0800 UT, and stations carrying `A Voz do Brasil` hour live
weekdays will be at 2200 instead of 2100 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake Feb 26:
11970, poor at 1421; no others 9-18 MHz by 1433
EiBi, HFCC and Aoki show no target on 11970, except Aoki under 11980:
``11980 SOH Xi Wang Zhi Sheng 2000-1700 1234567 Chinese 0.1 ND ? TWN 11955E
2610N SOH b11 11950-12100``, i.e. Sound of Hope 100-watt nuisance transmitter
in Taiwan, anywhere in that range, but FD also heard recently on 11970 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 9063, Feb 26 at 0639, S9+20 open carrier, no data burst until 0644,
i.e. DGI spy transmission we also hear on different days of week on 11532, 9124
during this same hour.
12000, Feb 26 at 0646, and also at 1423, pulses from the DentroCuban Jamming
Command totally uncalled for as VOA Spanish is on 12000 for only one sesquihour
weeknights from 0030.
RHC anomalies this Sunday Feb 26: 9850 missing at 1411, but 13750 is also
absent. 11750 is on at 1422, day 2 of being on the correct frequency instead of
11705. At 1521, none of the `Al?, Presidente` frequencies 17750, 15370, 13750,
13680 are on, except 11690 but with RHC programming; all still off at 1655,
1812 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** FRANCE. 15530, Feb 26 at 1428-1430*, song in French, no announcements. Must
be one of the RFI services which has not been canceled, Russian at 1400-1430
via Issoudun. WRTH Feb update shows the // 11860 changes to 17850 in
``**March``.
21580, Feb 26 at 1434, long conversation in Persian about Pakistan, Iran, etc.,
fair signal.
Nothing heard on 21580 previously during almost daily scans of 13m around this
time; first wondered if new for R. Farda, but not // JBA 15410, while yes, //
17850 found at 1450 as scheduled for RFI Farsi at 1430-1500; 1455 with RFI
e-mail address, jingle, 1458:25 RFI ID, frequencies, music to 1500*.
And guess what, HFCC shows Feb 26 is the first day for 21580: ``21580 1430 1500
28S,29S,39N,40 ISS 500 80 0 217 1234567 260212 240312 D 17400 Fas F RFI TDF
4355``. WRTH Update shows 21580 replacing 15360 from ``March``, so that must be
rounded off, with today Feb 26 the REAL schedule change date for RFI, likely
also for Russian above, and several others. See DXLD 12-06 under FRANCE [and
non] for all the single and double asterisks, as RFI makes its usual odd-date
moves from lower to higher bands; can`t wait another month until A-12 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. 9525-, Feb 26 at 1414 cannot detect even a carrier from VOI,
altho 9680 RRI domestic is in well. 9525- also missing 24 hours earlier.
Atsunori Ishida, http://rri.jpn.org agrees that 9525 was last heard with a
carrier on Feb 24 at 1100, not on Feb 25 or 26. (He still doesn`t have anything
on RRI Palu 3967v) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KOREA NORTH [and non]. 6600 and 6516, Feb 26 at 1406, V. of the People, once
again hit by noise jamming, but well atop it; NK generators still not up to
full bore? Jamming has been sporadic lately. 6348, however, Feb 26 at 1407,
Echo of Hope is jamming-free.
As for VOK, which has also been sporadic, 9335 at 1415 Feb 26 is sufficient in
French over CCI (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NEW ZEALAND. 13725-13730-13735, Feb 26 at 0636, RNZI`s DRM noise is back
here after several nights on wrong 11670-11675-11680 during this hour; I
checked 13 MHz after finding 11675 was missing, while 11725 AM was in well,
with YL discussing reincarnation (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6925+ AM, Feb 26 at 0627, pirate Commander Bunny with his
sidekick discussing handguns, or substitute weapon a good hard pencil; kept
mentioning monkeys and The Rodent Revolution; ID in passing as WBNY, dialog
continuing that `HD` radio is monkey-joke. Deep fades, but good on peaks to
S9+18. I hit this as I was tuning down MHz by MHz from 11925 to 5925 to compare
the off-frequency of Bandeirantes with France, and decided Band and Bunny were
both slightly on the hi side of their frequencies, but not by exactly the same
amount. Gone at next check 0645 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TUNISIA. UNIDENTIFIED. 10510-, Feb 26 at 1418, wobbly and fluttery carrier
with hum, no modulation detectable. Not sure if it is utility or even local
appliance radiation, but checking this since Nils Schiffhauer, DK8OK, Germany,
reported to DXLD yg Feb 25: ``10510 kHz: strong carrier, weak modulated with
"Arabic" music. 1725 UT, also yesterday. As no ID, any idea?``
My idea was possibly Libya, which appeared around this frequency during the
revolution, especially since 11600 has been missing lately during the French
bihour at 1600. However, Brian Alexander in Pennsylvania had a tentative R.
Libye on 11600, Feb 25 at *1756-1803* only, French but no ID.
Just in from Tarek Zeidan, Cairo Feb 26: ``Hello DXers, I checked that
frequency today and I can confirm it is Tunis // 12005 kHz around 1745 UT with
Egyptian songs. All the best``
What in the world are they doing on 10510?? Haven`t figured any mixing product
formula. Is IWT still on new 17735? Yes, Arabic at 1811 check Feb 26, while
12005 and 10510 are inaudible here (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U K [non]. 12095, Sat Feb 25 at 2138 I hear rock music, very poor signal,
announcement intonation maybe in French? Surely not the BBCWS, playing music.
Yes, it is! By pretending I am in Accra, Ghana, listening on SW, I can find the
correct programme schedulle for 12095, 9915 and 9410 showing `Top of the Pops`
during this hour, a weekend respite from talk3. 12095 is via ASCENSION (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 17655, Feb 26 at 1441, big open carrier, no doubt Greenville tune-up
for the 1700 broadcast in Portuguese; these often happen about half an hour
earlier (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1605 monitoring: 5755, WTWW, UT Sunday Feb 26 after
0500 --- off the air! Other Tennesseans on 5085, 5890, 5935 were inbooming. WOR
was playing on the WTWW-1 webcast. By 0643 check, 5755 was back on.
WBCQ: Larry Will advises that there is still no time available on 7490 for WOR,
so from March starting with #1606, they are going to put it on 5110v-CUSB,
right after `Allan Weiner Worldwide` at 0215 UT Saturdays (the pirate show has
ended its run), to be followed by `Jean Shepherd at 0245`. That puts us in very
good company before & after.
#1605 will play this Sunday night, 0330v UT Monday on 5110; it`s not clear to
me whether the new airing will also replace that, which has been fortnightly,
odd-numbered WOR editions only. Of course, those times will be effective for
only two weeks; once silly DST is in effect, WOR will have to shift to 0115 UT
Saturdays.
Remaining WRMI 9955 times this week: Sunday 1830, Monday 0600, 1230, (and maybe
0430 UT Thursday unless 1606 is ready by then) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A. 1550, recorded the entire 0900-0930 UT Feb 26 DX test from KRPI
Ferndale WA. Haven`t had time to listen to the whole thing with clock
synchronized, but spot checking circa 0920, definite Morse code ``VVV VVV VVV
DE KRPI KRPI KRPI`` copied several times, alternating at least two different
pitches, the higher one coming thru much better. Very heavy QRM including
Mexican music and multiple SAHs, so doubt anything else would have made it.
Thanks for the test! Receiver FRG-7; antenna, usual mostly E-W longwire of
about 30 meters (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** VENEZUELA [non]. See CUBA: no El Hugazo this Sunday either
UNIDENTIFIED. 15435, Feb 26 at 1427, in case it`s a weekly broadcast, no
signal, seven days after I heard unID Arabic here, then carrier to 1429*.
However, wish I had tuned in several minutes earlier to be sure. I had also
checked several intervening days with nothing (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed
MOLDOVA (TRANSNISTRIA), Radio Pridnestrovie, 9665, full-data QSL page
with map and photo of rotating antenna structure in 144 days for English
airmail report and 2 IRCs.
USA, WSM Nashville TN, 650, very nice date/time Aircastle of the South
folder card in 176 days for English first-class mail report and one mint
stamp, and email follow-up. QSL came two weeks after email follow-up.
V/s Robin Roberts Ladisa. Also sent huge refrigerator magnet, station
brochure, sticker and a WSM guitar pick.
Jason Cooper, CE of WSM steered me in the right direction with my
follow-up email, saying that he had forwarded my report on to Robin
Roberts Ladisa (robin(at)wsmonline(dot)com) who, in his words, "heads up
the QSL ministry here." They never did say whether my first report made
it, but I suspect it might have gotten buried under mounds of station
paperwork. Glad to have this nice QSL!
