** BANGLADESH [non]. 15505, am not hearing BB much in B-12 for the Urdu
broadcast at 1400. Nov 13 at 1358 something with very weak talk, not the BB IS,
but cuts off at 1359:20* and nothing further, nor at 1417 check. BB may very
well be on and not propagating any more, but nothing listed in HFCC, Aoki or
EiBi on 15505 until 1400, so what is that? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** CANADA. 6160, Nov 13 at 0705, CBC Radio 1 with weather, low -4, hi 5, but
could not catch any locations; then into Quirx & Quarx, Bob McDonald about
whales, so must be the Pacific zone feed, for 11 pm Monday, i.e. CKZU, not
CKZN. BTW, the CBC page about Q&Q,
http://www.cbc.ca/programguide/program/quirks_quarks
claims, ``It is also heard around the world on short-wave via Radio Canada
International.`` Not exactly! Nor had it been for years while RCI still
existed. Anyhow, CKZN is not only off 6160.9, but also off 6160.0; what next
for it? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake, Nov 14 before 1400:
12370, fair at 1248; unusual spot
15565, JBA at 1355 with het on hi side
No others 10-18 MHz.
After 1400:
15570, JBA at 1418 with het on hi side
See also TIBET [non]
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA [and non]. 11760, Nov 13 at 1350, RHC Spanish has considerable CCI in
English, i.e. CRI which is // but ahead of 9570 via Cuba; Commies vs Commies!
Quite aside from unlisted RHC, HFCC B-12 shows another collision on 11760:
BBC English via Oman at 11-14, switching from 10 to 320 degrees at 13 (and via
Cyprus at 14-16); and CRI English via Kunming, 500 kW, 135 degrees at 12-14
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GREECE. 11645, Nov 13 at 0606, romantic music, very poor with flutter, 0607
announcement, maybe Russian? And another song. What`s this? I realize it must
be VOG, but not // 7475, and 9420 not audible. 11645 usually carries the Radio
Filia service with a variety of languages but first time audible here this
season. On Oct 28, Sunday, first day of new season in the 06-07 hour, Wolfgang
B?schel had Greek mass on 11645, and R. Filia on 7475 instead, in Albanian.
Usage is extremely unreliable, varying from day to day, it seems; the least of
Greece`s worries (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. 9526-, Nov 13 at 1423, JBA carrier from VOI. I wonder if it was
again in English this hour like yesterday. Ishida hasn`t quite caught up with
14 UT yet but agrees it was on the air earlier today (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** IRAN [non]. 15410, Nov 13 at 1405, R. Farda stage-whisper ID between
hard-rock music cuts; as usual, no jamming audible. This is surprising; I
wonder if they do jam it but only at local groundwave range in major cities? As
for 15410, EiBi shows on at 12-16, switching sites amid at 14 from Biblis,
Germany, to Woofferton UK, and HFCC agrees, also showing a tripling of kW from
1400 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 6185, Nov 13 at 0623, open carrier, so XEPPM still hasn`t turned off
the transmitter after sign-off circa 0600 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 1120, Nov 13 at 1320 UT, Mexican music from KEOR Sperry, usual SAH
with KMOX of 72/minute = 1.2 Hz. Was not hearing it on caradio during several
daytime chex yesterday, altho could have been an inaudible carrier only.
Bruce Winkelman, dentro-Tulsa, says ``1120 KEOR on abruptly 1300:50Z 13NOV12 in
the middle of Spanish vocal mx, no ID. KEOR watch continues`` (Glenn Hauser,
Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 48 KOCY and 19 KUOT, Nov 13 at 0425 UT a bit of area tropo allows
me to reconfirm these two low-power OKC TV stations are still in NTSC; also
visible around 1500 UT before fading out. As always, 48 is much stronger than
19 and the latter is not always visible when 48 is (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** RUSSIA. 9560, Nov 13 at 1343, surprised to hear English, accompanying 9570
CRI/Cuba and 9580 Australia; soon outro program as ``This is Russia``. Fair
signal but big het on lo side, no doubt from Ethiopia. HFCC shows VOR at 11-14,
250 kW, 145 degrees from Novosibirsk to CIRAF 43, 44, 49. Aoki shows all three
hours in English (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SOMALILAND. 7120, Nov 13 at 1337, S9+10 carrier from presumed R. Hargeisa,
but no modulation for a minute, then YL talking maybe English, barely audible
vs CW QRhaM (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 13570, Nov 13 at 1347, no signal from WINB, just CODAR
around, nor 9265, despite DX Mix News, Bulgaria issue of Nov 12 claiming as of
Nov 7 Brother Scare is on 13570 WINB M-F at 1200-1530 (also M-F 1900-2030). I
see that http://www.overcomerministry.org/ does not mention WINB at all now.
Nor is it on the even more outdated download version:
ftp://www.overcomerministry.org/RadioSchedule/Short%20Wave%20Radio.html
WINB`s own schedule has not been updated since Oct 7, when there was still a
4-hour difference between ET and UT!
http://www.winb.com/schedule.htm
And it shewed TOM at 1200-1530 & 1930-2030 M-F.
How about new KBXD 1480 Dallas, where we just heard him last night? Not on TOM
AM list either, of course:
ftp://www.overcomerministry.org/RadioSchedule/AM%20Radio%20Stations.htm
which even still has BS on KCKN Roswell 1020 which flipped to Spanish
Radiovisi?n Cristiana a few months ago. See also USA: KBXD.
Back to SW, how about WTWW, where we have been hearing him afternoons on 9990?
TOM homepage only does show:
``Africa 9990 20-23:00 UTC Daily`` without identifying the source
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TIBET [non]. 17535, Nov 13 at *1428:48 carrier on, 1430 opening in presumed
Tibetan from V. of Tibet via MADAGASCAR as B-12 scheduled, ex 1400 on
17560/17565/17570. Fair signal, no jamming until Firedrake hit from *1433, also
causing a SAH. I wonder if this frequency too will jump around 5 kHz intervals
to evade the jamming. Another new time for VOT via Talata is 1530-1558 on 15485
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U K [non]. 9465, Nov 13 at 0618, BBCWS on new frequency? // 9410, but 9465
is a couple words behind, so different sites?
Latest HFCC of Nov 12 shows no BBC on 9465, but on 9460, so I am doubting my
reading, maybe FRG-7 parallax angle off. However both of these are supposed to
be Ascension, during this hour only:
9460 0600 0700 46 ASC 250 55 -30 216 1234567 281012 310313 D
9410 0600 0700 47SW,52 ASC 250 65 0 547 1234567 281012 310313 D
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. George McClintock tells me that WTWW-2 is now on the air daily
2000-0100 UT on 9990. I suppose most of that is Brother Scare, and see SOUTH
CAROLINA [non], where TOM admits to 9990 at 20-23 from a secret station (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1310, Nov 13 at 1308 UT, ``Newstalk KZRG`` about sports, i.e. Joplin
MO (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. Jerry Kiefer tells me that KBXD began regular programming today Nov
12. I was getting it on 1480 Monday evening, UT Tue Nov 13 at 0015 on the
caradio, more or less dominating frequency after sunset, with ``Gospel
Express`` mentioning that they were new to Dallas, thanks to Jerry. Still
hearing fast SAH which I suspect is due to KBXD being off-frequency compared to
average 1480 signals. Estimate 12-15 Hz.
There is also some Mexican music on 1480 I haven`t yet traced to one North
American country or another. KQAM Wichita had some competition at 0135 during
their BKB game, from gospel music on KBXD. Altho 50 kW daytime, I was not
hearing it on groundwave earlier vs KQAM. 73, (Glenn Hauser, Enid, dxldyg via
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
1480, Nov 13 at 0651 UT, Brother Scare is now here, tnx to KBXD, spending the
rest of the hour giving contact info. Usual SAH, and dominates frequency from
N/S, with 1.9 kW night power, but just rebuilt so should be at max efficiency
now. Listened until 0702, when Alex Scourby started Bible reading, and there
was no hourtop legal ID. I have yet to catch a KBXD ID at all, and The
Overcomer doesn`t prompt any such interruptions.
1480, Nov 13 at 1630 UT when skywave should be out, 3.5 hours after LSR and 2
hours before local mean noon, by nulling KQAM I am getting a SAH from a very
weak carrier, no doubt KBXD, and seems closer to 10 Hz than 12 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1510, Nov 13 at 0139 on caradio, immediately on tune-in heard ``WQQW,
Madison County`s hometown radio station``. NRC AM Log shows:
``WQQW Highland IL, D3 1000, CP D3 5000, AP TO 1530 D4 3300 CH 3300 CoL =
University City [MO, in the St Louis market]``
This is long after sunset, so presumably on critical hours facilities, but
still not QSY to 1530. FCC AM Query for
http://transition.fcc.gov/fcc-bin/amq?list=0&facid=90598
makes clear that on the present 1510 facility there is NO CH authorization;
however there is a PSRA and a PSSA:
http://licensing.fcc.gov/cgi-bin/prod/cdbs/forms/prod/getimportletter_exh.cgi?import_letter_id=3663
No, there isn`t ---- this letter says PSRA is NOT POSSIBLE in the case of
then-WXOZ as of 2007. Therefore it now has no business being on the air at all
between SS and SR, in November 2245-1245 UT. Day power is 1 kW and major lobe
throws most of it southwest toward me (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ZAMBIA [and non]. 13590, Nov 13 at 0610, gospel rock, from 1Africa, CVC
still existing. African signals also on 13780-Rwanda, 15120-Nigeria, 15400-RSA,
15580-Botswana all poor-fair, while many nites the higher bands are dead now
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1070, Nov 13 at 0637, Mexican music, seems NE/SW, fast SAH caused
by KLIO Wichita always off-frequency, and KNX must be in a fade. The only XE in
western Mexico is XEOBS in Ciudad Obreg?n, Sonora, certainly possible, but
lately there have been reports of WCSZ in Sans Souci, South Carolina:
Jo Fela in NJ had it Nov 9 at 0300 (EST?) with legal ID in Spanish, Mexican
music, ``Cannot be running its true night time facilities``
Robert Ross, Ont., and Rick Dau, Nebraska, also IDed WCSZ by comparing it to
their webstream. WCSZ is 50 kW day/1.5 kW night, supposedly.
FCC AM Query shows night pattern:
http://transition.fcc.gov/ftp/Bureaus/MB/Databases/AM_DA_patterns/150128-6837.pdf
with major 1.5 kW lobe to SSE, null toward the west.
50 kW day pattern:
http://transition.fcc.gov/ftp/Bureaus/MB/Databases/AM_DA_patterns/150128-6835.pdf
is similar with an even tighter null toward the west
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1480, Nov 13 at 0015 UT, weak Mex mx mix with KBXD Dallas. There
are several SS in the US, mostly peripheral states, but most likely and closest
here as in NRC AM Log is KCZZ, Radio Activo, Mission KS, = Kansas City market,
beyond KQAM Wichita (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 7275, Nov 13 at 0627, IWT TUNISIA has lo modulation but CCI from
an understation, typically FRCN Abuja. I know IWT is about to cut off the air,
and so it does before 0628 arrives, uncovering the other, but still too weak
and undermodulated.
Don`t you believe HFCC which shows Sfax RTT at 0500-0730 on 7275, as the
clueless Tunisians keep registering all their transmissions one hour later than
reality. And of course, no listing at all for Nigeria.
Aoki is closer, with Tunisia at 0355-0630, and R. Nigeria, Abuja at 0530-1200
in Hausa on 7275.
But there is now another possibility: Aoki has PBS Xinjiang, CNR13 in Uighur
from Urumqi at 0600-0700, and HFCC shows it on a much longer span, 0100-1200,
and EiBi even more than that from CNR/PBS; but I still think Nigeria is what we
are hearing (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ALGERIA [non]. 7495, Nov 13 at 2239 Qur`an, poor in sideband splatter of
7490 WBCQ. Per DX Re Mix News, Bulgaria, 7495 is RTA, 500 kW, 194 degrees from
Issoudun, FRANCE at 2100-2258 containing: 2100-2105 French news, 2105-2158 &
2200-2258 Arabic HQ all to NW Africa. Is there really an unnecessary 2-minute
break before 2200? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ARGENTINA. 13363.5-LSB, Nov 14 at 0207, broadcasters chatting in Spanish. No
time to keep straining for an ID of which station LTA is relaying tonight, but
Eduardo Peralta, Argentina tells me at 2357 UT Nov 13, it was // 630 = Radio
Rivadavia (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CANADA. 9625, Nov 13 at 2106, CBCNQ has extremely heavy flutter, apparently
bouncing off the aurora during a disturbance, unlike much more northerly paths
such as from Bulgaria --- see SOUTH CAROLINA [non]; not English but sorta
French? French with an Inuk or Cree accent, or vice versa? 2229 not in French
either, 2230 CBC News logo and non-French, non-English news. This used to be
the time for the main evening CBCNQ-produced newscast, maybe still so (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 15340, Nov 13 at 2102, RHC has Spanish clip voiced-over into French,
VG signal, but supposed to be in one-hour break between scheduled 1930-2100 &
2200-2400 transmissions to ``Europe``. French is scheduled only on 11760 at
2100-2130, and this is //. Don`t know when or if RadioCuba got around to
turning 15340 off, but another prolongation noted Nov 14 at 0208, when it`s
still on in Spanish with good signal two+ hours after scheduled closing (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GUIANA FRENCH. 5844, 5926, 5994, 6076, Nov 14 at 0210, spurblobs from 5960
NHK Japanese relay are still radiating, tho not so strong tonight (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO [and non]. 6185, Nov 13 at 2241, guitar music, so XEPPM must already
be on the air; instrumental-only music continued past 2300 with no
announcements or ID. Apparently this is a pr?lude/warmup for Radio Educaci?n SW
programming not starting until 0000 UT, but when do they really turn on the
transmitter?
After 2300 a SAH appeared, from an understation, which HFCC leads us to believe
would only be CRI in Mongolian, 500 kW, 354 degrees from Xian, which would be
close to the grayline (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PRIDNESTROVYE. 7290, Nov 13 at 2235, poor signal in German is Radio PMR,
which airs Sun-Thu UT. Someone recently reported this as Voice of Russia, which
is already in English with a better signal on 7250 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 9990, Nov 13 at 2059, WTWW-2 is reportedly on air at
20-01 now, so at tune-in I notice that it`s something other than Brother Scare;
however at 2100 ID, and Ted introduces The Overcomer Ministry starting then
with Brother R. G. Stair.
At the same time, only 10 kHz away on 9980, WWCR-4 has just finished BS for the
time being, and started some other program --- so a convenient handover for BS
psychophants (if they only knew all they had to do was retune 9980 to 9990).
BS is also on 9370 WWRB, which is a few sex behind 9990, and his audio on WWRB
is much inferior, webfeed instead of satellite? Shortly, the very late
Alexander Scourby pontificates the KJVB for a bit.
9700, tuning across 31m, I find yet another BS at 2107, 6 sex behind 9990,
surprisingly good signal from alleged Bulgaria; per DX Re Mix News, since Nov 1
at 19-22, 50 kW, 306 degrees from Sofia to W Europe, but also USward, and no
flutter. At the same time there is extreme flutter from 9625 CBCNQ Sackville
[see CANADA], altho the direct great-circle path from Sofia goes much further
north almost to 60 degrees -- southern tip of Greenland.
At 2226 recheck, 9980 WWCR is back with BS after an hour off for the
otherhuxter, and is also 6 sex behind 9990 WTWW; what a waste! (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 13570, Nov 13 at 2105, OM gospel huxter is alternating Spanish and
English, along with CODAR swishes. Outdated WINB program schedule at website
does not account for anything Spanish or bilingual at this time, but at
1900-2030 UT when on DST it had been The Overcomer, and timeshifted would be
2000-2130, except Brother Scare has apparently departed WINB again; see SOUTH
CAROLINA [non] in this and my previous report (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** VATICAN [non]. 7305, Nov 14 at 0213, VR Spanish relay via Greenville is
sufficient, but not a solid signal, roughly off the side here. I wonder if they
are getting it started on time now from 0200. Still unjammed (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 6900.0-LSB, Nov 14 at 0202, a lively net in Spanish with many
stations, sometimes talking over each other, friendly chat, no formal IDs
heard, but mentions of names and places in next few minutes included: Rio
Bravo, Tejas; Laredo, Tejas; Roberto; Alberto; Oaxaca; Miami; Alejandro; and
someone said ``saludos y 73``.
This is obviously way outside the 40m hamband, and suspect these are
free-banders, unlicensed, spanning the frontera with better coverage than on 27
MHz. The guy in Miami gave local time and explained that he was about to take a
walk around the block (with dog?), so perhaps glorified HF Twitter. I`ve
frequently noticed Spanish 2- or multi-way here before when trolling for
pirates. Anyone know more about this operation? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
