** CANADA. Amid TVDX Es opening from Mexico, also getting stuff in English from
north, UT July 25:
0043 on 2, ads in English with antenna north
0050 on 2, sitcom with black characters, -/+ offset CCI
0100 on 2, some game show or competition; maybe // briefly on 6
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA [and non]. 17495, July 25 at 0600, good signal in Chinese, M&W
conversing animatedly, no CCI, // but not synch with 17855 plus CCI. So it`s R.
Free Asia, 17495 via Tinian, 17855 via Saipan, plus CNR1 jamming on the latter
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake July 25 circa 1230:
12980, very good at 1227; none lower
16100, JBA at 1234
After 1300:
15570, fair at 1313
Circa 1330:
12230, good at 1335; none in the 11s, 10s
12980, good at 1335
13920, good at 1335; none in the 14s, 16s, 17s
15495, very poor at 1332
15560, poor at 1332, het on lo side, ex-15570
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 12000, July 25 at 0557, lite pulse jamming against nothing, long after
VOA Spanish is finished at 0100.
9514, July 25 at 1221, the RHC 9540 transmitter is out of whack again,
extremely distorted FMy blob, modulation barely // an echo apart to 9550, and
nothing on 9540.
However, at 1340 it`s centered closer to 9515, but no specific carrier to
pinpoint. 9550 is now off, but matched an echo apart to 13780, and at 1342 I
noticed that weak 9540 fundamental is also on, and in synch with the 9515 spur
which is much louder but very distorted. Could not detect a matching spur circa
9565 aside the bigsig from the 9570 CRI relay (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** IRAN. 9650, July 25 at 0103, very poor signal from something, checking after
report from Mark Taylor WI, in NASWA Flashsheet of VIRI here in Turkish at
0030-0130, as now scheduled in the middle of the night there, for observant
Turx gorging on an early breakfast, and wanting to listen to Tehran, where they
are holier, before fasting all day. Sunrise in Ankara is currently 0241 UT, so
a 0130-0230 UT timing would have been more effective.
This led me to find these Ramadan-only IRIB specials in HFCC dated 20 July to
20 August only, some of them self-conflicting:
1930-2330 5940 & 6010 Azeri from Kamalabad
2130-0130 7325 & 7360 Arabic from Sirjan, 270 degrees
2230-0100 7405 Tajik from Kamalabad
2330-0030 6010 Azeri from Sirjan [conflicts with Kurdish below]
6010 Sorani Kurdish from Sirjan [conflicts with Azeri above]
2330-0030 6005 & 6080 Sorani Kurdish from Kamalabad
2330-0330 6005 Azeri from Kamalabad [first hour conflicts S Kurdish]
0030-0130 9650 Turkish from Sirjan, 310 degrees, good for NAm. In case there
are more on slightly different dates, did not search further.
BTW, as I was checking the IRIB website http://worldservice.irib.ir/ I found
linx to new/unknown languages Aran and Taleshi, both apparently Turkic and for
Azerbaijan, not in WRTH schedules; that close, could be on MW only (Glenn
Hauser, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. Sporadic E analog TV DX July 24, UT:
1512 on 2, some video fades in with antenna south; 6m Es maps would imply
Canada, but not from the NNE. It is too often the case that 6m Es displays
don`t do justice to Mexican openings
There was a huge Es opening into FM and even weather band over the eastern US,
into Cuba, Caribbean, but probably not extending this far, I hope as I was not
remonitoring until:
2303 on 2, turned on to find Info-7 in progress amid CCI; probably Tampico
2303 on 4, net-4 f bug in LR during apparent news, also algo on 5
2351 on 2, something fades back in briefly
UT July 25:
0014 on 2, fade-in video, P&G ads in Spanish with Olympic connexion
[see CANADA for a while]
0314 on 2, Spanish from south revives, CCI
0314 on 4, novela, Azteca-13 bug UR, again 0331
0314 on 5, f?tbol
0344 on 5, ``Televisa Veracruz`` audio promo mention, while video CCI, i.e.
XHAJ, Las Lajas
0345 on 6, promo with full screen DANIEL, and later LALO; unknown bug UR
0348 on 6, music with loud live DJ, audience; now a better look at the UR bug:
it`s the Multimedios star, with PLUS below and to the right of it. So it`s
XHTAO in Tampico or XHLGG in Le?n, per Oglethorpe. From backdrop, show name
includes NOCHES, and FUTBOL.
0458 on 3, full-screen ID with the Grupo Pac?fico italic 3 in an oval, and
XHQ-TV, XHQ-DT = Culiac?n, Sinaloa. Es still incoming as it`s almost local
midnight CDT but not really, = 2230 LMT
0505 on 2, from southwest, set with large ND, seems about sports, so maybe
means Noticiero Deportivo; network or local?
0520 and 0555 final check still bits of video DX on 2. During the evening I
also tried FM from time to time but nothing (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** NIGERIA [and non]. 15120, July 25 at 0559, poor signals, mix of V. of
Nigeria ID with CRI fill music and 0600 CRI theme and ID. The two about equal
level this time (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 13802 & 13698 approx., July 25 at 1228, 1230, very light but definite
modulation spur spikes matching VOA Spanish 13750 Greenville (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 13845, July 24 at 1909, WWCR-3 is missing, while 1 & 2 are inbooming
on 15825, 12160 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 12105, July 24 at 1905 and 2257, WTWW-3 is still missing today (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 7506.4, July 25 at 0103, WRNO big signal but undermodulated and
somewhat distorted gospel huxter (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 11715.0, July 25 at 1337, KJES fair signal with undermodulated
singing, remaining on-frequency! Transmission is still very irregular (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 9331, approx., July 25 at 0610, big carrier is overriding WBCQ
9330; occasional warbling. Suspect a Cuban spy transmitter (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
