** CHINA. 15510, Oct 27 until 1330* cutoff, CNR1 jammer, very good with flutter. Now here to block BBC Uzbek via Thailand at 1300-1330 and presumably on several other B14 frequencies (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [non]. 9490, Oct 27 at 0159-0200, R. República ID, back on scheduled frequency via FRANCE, and mixed with wall-of-noise jamming, tsk2, instead of clear 9420 where it had jumped 25 hours earlier. So apparently that had been a mistake (or an experiment?), suspiciously in the very first hour of the B-14 season when lots of frequency changes were being implemented (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA [non]. 6030, Oct 27 at 0606, oh2, R. Martí is *on* during what had been its Monday-morning siesta from 03 to 09; some pulse jamming, but not wall-of-noise, as this also caught the DentroCuban Jamming Command by surprise. The other RM frequency at this hour, 7405, is also on with VG signal and no jamming audible. This would not have been a surprise to those consulting HFCC B-14, where indeed the Martí frequencies are now registered for 7 nights a week, no more silent periods. So our slim hopes for Radio ICDI, Central African Republic on 6030 have just evaporated, and it`s further bad news for Calgary`s CFVP (tho if they really cared, would have objected to OCB ever using 6030, or filed for a new frequency). Extracted from HFCC B-14, here`s the full R. Martí schedule: 00-04 7365 00-12 6030 04-07 7405 07-13 5980 12-14 7405 13-22 11930 14-20 13820 20-24 9565 22-24 7405 There could be some 1-hour adjustments in a week with DST over. Or re-organized by each transmitter: 00-04 7365, 04-07 7405, 07-13 5980, 13-22 11930, 22-24 7405 00-12 6030, 12-14 7405, 14-20 13820, 20-24 9565 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** INDONESIA. 9526-, Oct 27 at 1302, for the second day in a row, not even a carrier detectable from VOI during English hour; yet there are plenty of other signals from E/SE Asia, including what would be the ACI on 9530. http://rri.jpn.org/ agrees with no logs of it at all for Oct 27; and on Oct 26 it went off sometime between 1210 and 1255 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** MEXICO. 6185, Oct 27 at 0607, XEPPM is still on with soft rock song in Spanish. Most of central Mexico just reverted to UT -6, so nominal schedule would be to 0600* which means it might run until about 0700. (BTW, RNA Brasil is still AWOL from 6180, a very good thing for Radio Educación) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1744 monitoring: confirmed at 0300 UT Monday Oct 27 on Area 51 webcast, and also before 0330 via WBCQ 5110v-CUSB. Next: Tuesday 1100 on WRMI 9955 (the RFI RFI via Taiwan has moved to 9900) Wednesday 0730 & 1530 on Hamburger Lokalradio 7265-CUSB [new timings] Wednesday 1315 on WRMI 9955 Wednesday 2100 on WBCQ 7490v (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. Continued from last report, SNAFUs at WTWW: 9930, Oct 26 at 1719, still dead air on WTWW-2; and 12105, WTWW-3 is now also on the air (nominal *1700) and it too is DA! Next chex 1849 and 1930, both are still dead air. By 2000, 12105 is back with canned ID and into Portuguese Bibling, but 9930 is still DA. Next check at 2118, 9930 has finally resumed Brother Scaring (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** VIETNAM. 9840, Oct 27 at 1256, open carrier with heavy flutter, 1300 music and announcement. Must be VOV caught in a pause between Indonesian and English, not WHRI which is also registered to start 9840 at 1300, but apparently not really used on Mondays. No het, but if I had measured and found the frequency to be off, that would have clinched it as VN1 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) This report dispatched at 1900 UT October 27 _ Hard-Core-DX mailing list Hard-Core-DX@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/hard-core-dx http://www.hard-core-dx.com/ _______________________________________________ THE INFORMATION IN THIS ARTICLE IS FREE.
