** CANADA. 6160, Sept 18 at 0559, CBC promo and 0600 news, but never any local ToH ID; hindered by 6165 RHC splash. At 0605 fades during minute when local weather normally airs, 0606 into some unID CBC program. Only one CBC signal audible, presumably CKZU Vancouver. Checking here since earlier in the evening both Julian Smith in Barrie and Gilles Letourneau in Montreal found no signal from normally audible CKZN Newfoundland (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. 6165, Sept 18 at 1244, romantic songs with brief announcements in Mandarin Chinese rather than Burmese, heavy flutter; 1300 no timesignal or break, music continues but 1301 announcement; now there is ACI from 6170 RNZI which started Bell Bird just before 1259, and the 6165 is fading anyway. Anyhow I conclude that at least today I am getting CNR-6 from Beijing site and not Thazin Radio from Myanmar, nor Vietnam nor India. This can be confirmed by finding a CNR-6 parallel. Uplooked later, the ONLY one is 9420 (and the only daytime frequencies, 01-09 UT are 11905/15710). At 1340 I check 9420 and do hear the same kind of EZL music, but it`s very poor and too late to try a match on 6165; presumably not Greece at the moment. WRTH calls CNR-6 Voice of Shenzhou, a.k.a. Shenzhou Easy Radio (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** COLOMBIA. 6010.1, Sept 18 at 0601, citing Bible versículos in Spanish, i.e. The Voice of Thy Conscience, which continues reliably active here but still nothing from 5910 sibling (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA. 620, Sept 18 at 0607, Spanish from NW/SE overcomes sportstalk from MS or CO, presumably R. Rebelde – yes, their jingle plays, and same music, talk as on 670. The only 620 listed in WRTH is 25 kW in Colón, Matanzas. This expedited by the temporary silence of 620 Dallas; see USA and MEXICO logs (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** KURDISTAN [non]. 11600, Sept 18 at 1343, enjoyable Kurdish music, fair with flutter, i.e. Denge Kurdistane from the PKK ``terrorists`` vs Turkey. At 05-14 the site per Aoki is PRIDNESTROVYE, the best one for us; except if the overnight MUF hold up, 03-05 via FRANCE, always on 11600 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** MEXICO. 540, Sept 11 at 0607, XETX, Nuevo Casas Grandes, Chihuahua, ``La Mera Mera, La Ranchera de Paquimé``, ID dominating, slow SAH from something; maybe the 20 watts left at night from nearby KNMX Las Vegas NM? Even that is beamed away from here. XETX` 250 watts night really gets out, a regular in Enid; even if day power of 1 kW (Glenn Hauser, Santa Rosa NM, DX LISTENING DIGEST) An item I missed previously ** MEXICO. 620, Sept 18 around 0550, Spanish music from SW, presumably XEBU Chihuahua2; as KMKI Plano TX is OFF the air pending sale from Disney to Salem. 0603 Mexican NA ending and apparently off, clearing frequency even further for others: see USA, CUBA 620 logs. XEBU is often dominant anyway despite KMKI with not much of a night signal this way (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** NIGERIA. 9690- // 7255-, Sept 18 at 0556, VON is already on both frequencies with chanting prélude to Hausa hour; sufficient (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1791 monitoring: confirmed at NEW time and frequency, UT Friday Sept 18 at 0100 on WBCQ 9330v-CUSB. WBCQ IS & ID loop were playing just before, as a buffer after Blalock. Good reception here and I hope many elsewheres better than at 7490 and 5110 times. Tnx Allan Weiner, and to Mark Sills for suggesting this. Next: Fri 2130 WRMI 15770 to NE Fri 2130.5 WRMI 7570 to NW Fri 2330 WRMI 5850 to NW Sat 0630 HLR 7265-CUSB to SW Sat 1430 HLR 7265-CUSB to SW Sat 1930v WA0RCR 1860-AM ND? Sun 0315v WA0RCR 1860-AM ND? Sun 2300 WRMI 11580 to NE Mon 0300v WBCQ 5110v Area 51 to WSW Mon 0330 WRMI 9955 to SSE Tue 1100 WRMI 9955 to SSE Wed 1315 WRMI 9955 to SSE Wed 2100 WBCQ 7490v to WSW [BTW, the Wed broadcasts of HLR 7265 have been suspended] Full WOR schedule: http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 620, Sept 18 at 0603 UT, KMKI Plano (Dallas) TX is OFF, Mark Sills says for 2 or 3 days, pending sale from Disney to Salem and likely change of calls, and presumably new gospel-huxtering format, exactly what The Metroplex needs! I just heard XEBU with NA and apparently off, so now what? At least two other US stations. Sports-talk from the NW/SE, which leads to KJOL Grand Junxion, 5000/79 watts [sic]; OR WJDX Jaxon MS, 5000/1000 watts. Also roughly NE/SW, someone playing ``Teeny Weeny Yellow Polka Dot Bikini``, maybe WAKY Louisville KY, 500/500 watts. AND CUBA, q.v. There are really few 620s in center-America (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) This report dispatched at 1532 UT September 18 _ 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.
