Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1
** ALASKA. 7355, Oct 25 at 1256, some pop music, ilk of KNLS, which is still
registered here in B-15 for 12-13 English. Other English is all on 9615 per
HFCC: 08-09 & 10-11 & 12-13 & 14-15. I didn`t check for that before 13 or after
14 yet (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. 9230, Oct 25 at 1346, CNR1 with Chinese classical vocal music, //
countless other channels inband 6, 7, 9, 11 MHz, mostly as jammers, but 9230
for sure is a jammer. Fair signal. None however found in the 8s, 10s, 12s.
Earlier in the hour these were playing Western classical music as customary on
Sunday nights (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 15370, Oct 25 at 1311, RHC with `Cartas a la Redacci?n` but modulation
breakup, while // 15730 is OK.
11950, Oct 25 at 1334, RHC `En Contacto` is starting a minute early, as often
the case on this and several other frequencies; it`s 2015y program #42 from
Estudio 7, and first order of business is birthday greetings as usual, to
members of own staff as well as listeners.
It`s B-15 now, but not at RHC, as frequency manager Arnie waits a week or two
for the dust to clear by stations which are not boycotting HFCC for fear of
having to deal with Americans. Timeanddate.com shows Cuba goes off DST November
1 just like the USA, as Cuba is a running dog behind American imperialism.
After that we expect all Spanish programming to shift one UT hour later, i.e.
Sunday 1435 for this show, as well as 2340, and UT Monday 0235, more or less,
on whatever frequencies are then in use (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [non]. 11930, Oct 25 at 1317, pop music from R. Mart?, 1319 mentioning
the 2014 MTV Europe awards. NO jamming, and // 7405. As usual, the DentroCuban
Jamming Command is caught with its pants down at seasonal change date, when R.
Mart? schedule changes. Not like it`s secret --- anyone can access HFCC public
info. 11930 now starts at 1300 (maybe back to 1400 from next Sunday, tho?). By
1337 I can hear some jamming under 11930.
13820, Oct 25 at 1417, R. Mart? is VG on reactivated B-15 frequency, now
scheduled 14-20; no jamming, while the wall of noise continues on ex-13605! By
now // 11930 also has WONJ. The incompetent DentroCuban Jamming Command again
fails to protect poor Cuban compa?eros from being exposed to The Truth (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** FRANCE. 9675 NF, Oct 25 at 0617, RFI in English with French accent, talking
about S?n?gal bus painters, fair with deep fades, weaker than 9690 Nigeria;
ex-13725 in the A-season, which was good for us in deep summer but not
propagating for many weeks; intended only for Africa, of course, this is the
token sole English hour on SW from RFI Issoudun (tho WRMI fills some time with
more, undependably) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** IRAN. 12040, Oct 25 at 1323, NA, i.e. VIRI Japanese service at 1320-1420, 60
degrees from Kamalabad; yes, in Japanese at 1333. Noticed this as checking for
Turkey [q.v.] on 12035. This is only fair, but much stronger than Turkey when
it finally comes on late at *1335:45, and that is aimed USward at 310 degrees!
Something is amiss; both nominally 500 kW (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** KOREA NORTH. 6170, Oct 25 at 1303, typical Juche music and rough distorted
modulation, quite like // 9435, so it`s obviously VOK, now that NEW ZEALAND
[q.v.] has abandoned 6170 for the summer. 6170 vacant by 1322, pause/break. But
Arnulf Piontek`s B-15 VOK schedules show 6170 now in use for KCBS relay at
1230, PBS relay at 1330, but switching from 28 to 325 degree beams, and the //
from 9435 to 9425. 6170 is also in use for many more hours, 1030-2130 including
European languages (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KURDISTAN [non]. 11600, Oct 25 before and after 1400, no signal form Denge
Kurdistane, which must have moved for B-15, but where? HFCC shows nothing
registered on 11600 between 13 and 17. Nor anything down near 11500 where they
were previously.
Looking thru HFCC, most now be back to 9400, registered as KCH [PRIDNESTROVYE =
MOLDOVA] something in Kurdish at 12-14 & 14-16 & 16-20; and SOF = Bulgaria also
registered at 14-15 & 15-18 in ``English``. These are no doubt placeholders for
the real site swapping, which may still include France as has been the case on
11600. Plus lots more 9400 KCH and SOF registrations overlapping until 2200,
but the SOFs allegedly in DRM. The KCH ones are from BRB, the SOF ones from
SPC. Also: 08-12 via BRB on ERV = Armenia. Wolfgang B?schel says the signal
from there at 0900 was not very strong.
Too bad for us, as 9400 is much inferior to the good way-off-target reception
we had on 11600 until yesterday. Alokesh Gupta forwards the B-15 Alyx & Yeyi
schedule including Denge Kurdistan at 04-22, no sites specified (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KURDISTAN [non]. 15600, Oct 25 at 1419, good signal with echo, Farsi? No,
it`s IBB in Kurdish, this hour only via Woofferton UK, per HFCC B-15 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NEW ZEALAND. Looking for RNZI on B-15 schedule: 9700 unheard before or after
1300. Both 9700 and 5950 have been registered starting at 1300, but no sign of
them on either; while A-15`s 6170 has been taken over by Voice of Korea! [q.v.]
A rude awakening for those expecting to keep hearing RNZI. Kept searching for
RNZI during the 13-14 hour but never found on those or any frequencies. Let`s
take another look at their online schedule in case it has changed again without
notice:
http://www.radionz.co.nz/international/listen
No, still claims to be on 9700 AM from 1300 (and new 13840 until 1258, which is
unlikely to propagate here, but 9700 certainly should, like constant Australia
on 9580). So totally off the air today, or on some as yet unknown frequency??
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 1650, Oct 25 at 0559 UT, Sallisaw station still with singing ID as
``KYHN, Fort Smith``. It`s really incredible that so basic a datum as a
station`s callsign should be a matter of dispute/misunderstanding/ignorance?
between a licensee and the FCC which has changed it to KFSW, presumably on
request of the station! Searching on KFSW, I see that a number of streaming
aggregators have automatically followed suit, even when displaying programming
as from ``KYHN`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SAIPAN. 12105, Oct 25 at 1314, Burmese from IBB, good strength but rough
modulation, cutting out when not peaking; also CODAR QRM. B-15 schedule is
1230-1430, 100 kW, 310 degrees, i.e. R. Free Asia. Suspect this is the big blob
I was hearing on 12105 in late A-15 already when only KSDA was scheduled on
12105, before 1300; Saipan transmitter still not completely back in whack
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SPAIN. Just as I expected, the new frequency for REE to North America, 9690,
is useless. Checking all four just after *1500 UT Oct 25: 9690 inaudible; next
best is 17755, but poor; then 15390; and best is 15500 but with some echo. The
other three are axually aimed at other worldparts, but MUF trumps azimuth, as 9
MHz over a day path from Europe to NAm is ridiculous. Who`s doing their
frequency management? 17855 was a bigsig until yesterday, its last day toward
us.
These run 1500-2300 weekends, except 17755 changes to 11530 at 1900. Weekdays
at 1900-2300 only, 15500, 15390, 11530, 9690. After 1900, perhaps 9690
reception will start to pick up, but the higher ones despite beamed elsewhere
may still trump it. From 15 to 19 weekdays, and 15-23 weekends, it`s nothing
but stupid ballgames, so who cares?
BTW, be alert, especially on weekends, for the 2300* sign-off to be extended to
2400*, including Arabic and at 2330 English. This happened at least once in the
A-season (one hour earlier) when there was a possibility a partido tonto de
pelotas would run overtime but did not, yet the transmitters stayed on (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TURKEY. 17755, Oct 25 at 1309, Turkish music, good signal in VOT German
service, 1310 ``Frage des Monats`` with same theme music for it as in English
and presumably all other language services. I was expecting this, on B-15
schedule, now that everything is one hour later. Azimuth to Europe follows thru
to North America, and like every winter, we only wish they would stay on it for
English now shifted to 1330. But they insist on dropping way down to 12035 for
that.
However, today 17755 keeps running at 1325 with IS and alternating IDs in
English - only! 1330 accurate timesignal and sign-on English claiming to be on
``12035``, program summary including `Food of the Court`, `Today in History`,
`Question of the Month`; 1331 headlines until cut off abruptly at 1331:40*.
I`ve been monitoring 12035 on another receiver, and can barely detect VOT
cutting that on at *1335:45, i.e. it took them 4 minutes to make the change,
which should have been between 1320 and 1325. Now the English frequency is
useless here. Besides poor frequency planning, this is typical shoddy operation
at Emirler. Why is it so hard to keep to the clock for frequency changes?
15350, Oct 25 at 1312, TRT toward Europe and N America is fair with Turkish
talk, now scheduled 07-14 UT, and we expect to hear some good music on it too
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 17665, Oct 25 at 1420, big open carrier, 1421, 1 kHz tone test,
stops, and off the air before 1422. Surely a typical Greenville test to be sure
the same transmitter is operable before a scheduled broadcast on 16m later, no
doubt different 17655 in Portuguese from 1700 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A. 11580, Oct 25 at 1338, I catch part of `Wavescan` on WRMI, which is
tacked on Sundays only to this transmission, as Jeff is interviewing Doc
Burkhart of Son-power Radio about their St. Kitts 820 kHz station, ex-Radio
Paradise (tho they had adopted that name on some of the `TruNews` SW
broadcasts). Seems the container containing a ready-to-go broadcast studio we
heard about before, is currently being stored at the WRMI Okeechobee site
before final shipment to the island, where they are ``working hard to get on
the air`` with Flowing Stream Ministries, of course including Rick Wiles`
so-called TruNews (Glenn Hauser, OK,DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 21675, Oct 25 at 1422, excellent signal with hymn, i.e. WRMI back on
13m, for the Radio Africa Service at 14-22, ex-17790. Yet the only other US
station on 13m, WHRI on 21600, is very poor: a matter of skip distance, since
WHRI is closer, yet with 250 kW aimed 59 or 85 degrees. 21675 a late change not
in HFCC, but no doubt on the 87 degree antenna aimed right at Equatorial
Guinea, former site of R. Africa (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1080, Oct 25 at 0622 UT, KRLD Dallas with Charly Jones on `Texas
Overnight` talkshow anticipating that Joe Biden may announce he`s running in
the Saturday night Jefferson-Jackson Day yDemocratic dinner --- but, but he
already said no Oct 21!! Besides repeating a long-outdated show for cleared
channel audience, CBS-owned stations skew far-right in their locally-produced
and national talkshows carried, hardly ``mainstream``. This guy is constantly
berating Hillary and any other Democrat, I suppose trying to outdo the Red Eyes
over at WBAP (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1100, Oct 25 at 0609 UT, open carrier/dead air from the NW, obviously
KNZZ Colorado Springs CO, which lately has been running 50 kW ND day pattern,
and in fact it`s hard to null it enough to get WTAM Cleveland. Still same at
0620 UT, maybe all night?? What a sorry excuse for a max power radio station
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1460, Oct 25 at 1252 UT, ``We`re The Outlaw, playing the best country
music,`` loops N/S. It`s KCLE Burleson TX, address in Cleburne (i.e. = The
Metroplex), BTW also listed with AM stereo per NRC AM Log, 11000/700 watts U4.
Oct FCC sunrise was 1230 UT, but November will be 1300 UT (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 12418-SSB, Oct 25 at 1351, 2-way in Spanish, discussing
puta-madres = sons-of-bitches, or more politely? whoresons (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BIAFRA [non]. 15560, Oct 25 at 1813, JBA signal with talk, same as
yesterday, so presumably clandestine R. Biafra continues here in B-15
unregistered via France (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 11760, Oct 25 at 1839, RHC in Kriyol; at 1932 in English, the 19-20
hour expected to shift to 20-21 from Nov 1. 11760 is the only RHC frequency on
air at 1830-1930 breaking siesta-time; and at 1930 no 17730 to Europe either,
making me wonder if they have made a B-15 change in this case: unfound anywhere
else on 17, 15, 13 or 11 MHz. But at 1943 recheck, 17730 is now on in French,
so it was just late (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [non]. 13820, Oct 25 at 1834, R. Mart? with autotune music, only S5 but
no jamming, as that`s still on old 13605, at S7 level, hours after the new
frequency started. At 1836 announcer refers to ``Radio Regreso, la onda de la
alegr?a``, a dig at Cuba`s own Radio PROgreso. At 1837, the other RM frequency,
11930, is about even with jamming. Maybe OCB should change that too just to
confuse the DentroCuban Jamming Command (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

28 and 21 MHz bands are crammed with contesters, so F2 propagation is
co?perating! While they are banned from 24 and 18 MHz; only one phone
rag-chewer encountered on 12m, 24950. This shall be the extent of my ham
contest logging, for the record. 26-27+ MHz freebanders/CB are also hopping,
including Spanish, and I notice that a lot of them are on LSB, e.g. 26555 at
1855 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDIA. 11670, Oct 25 at 1841, AIR GOS is S8, surprisingly good with Indian
song, then talking in English about cinemusic. Wish I could stop and listen
more, but impelled to keep bandscanning for new B-15 finds. This one is 325
degrees for Europe, 500 kW from Bengaluru at 1730-2230, English except the
Hindi hour from 1945 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KURDISTAN [non]. 9400, Oct 25 at 1843, JBA carrier aside 9395 WRMI TruNews;
presumably Denge Kurdistane via some site as discussed in previous report
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NIGERIA. 15115-15125, Oct 25 at 1907, DRM noise spreading exactly 10 kHz
from center 15120, V. of Nigeria; off by 1930. Should they employ 9690- on AM
between 15 and 23, note collision with SPAIN [q.v.] in the offing (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 1120, Oct 25 at 1847 UT, KETU/KEOR Catoosa/Sperry/Tulsa is still
active, nothing but music in Spanish, still never any announcements heard
whatsoever (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 17530, Oct 25 at 1828, Brother Scare on new frequency,
S9+35 and with modulation squeals from this ailing WHRI unit, 100 kW at 315
degrees right across North America. It`s registered 16-22 UT now, not
necessarily all in use, nor necessarily every hour with BS. A rude surprise for
those used to hearing VOA French here in A-15. At 1902 I notice that this 17530
is the OSOB! Other stations will regain interest in 16m after 1930 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SPAIN. Another check of REE`s new frequencies Sunday Oct 25 at 1828 during
PTP: 17755, very poor S1; 15500, fair S5; 15390, fair S4; 9690, poor S3. At
least the one for NAm, 9690, is starting to propagate 3.5 hours after it began.
It`s improving at 1846 and should continue to do so on toward 2300*. However,
9690 by REE risks collision with 9690- from NIGERIA --- one of their three
active and longtime frequencies, and you never know at which hours or from
which transmitter site it may be activated. Of course, not in HFCC, so how
could REE possibly have known about it?
At 1901, as scheduled, 17755 is off, and its successor 11530 is a JBA carrier
while 9690 is up to S7 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 25000, Oct 25 at 1815, WWV tone is JBA, but enough to detect the ToM
beep at 1816:00 precisely after pause. At less than 500 miles, only short-skip
can propagate it here, so there may be a trace of that, or backscatter, as 10 m
F2 is wide open for DX contest (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. 17895, our best VOA daytime frequency, is gone for B-15. No
more listening to VOA News on the G8 portable during restaurant lunches or on
the BST-1 SW caradio. Oct 25 at 1826, no signal there, nor any Greenville
English found on 16 or 19m. The only such entry in HFCC is 15580 at 21-22, a
mostly-music hour, elsewhen from other sites! As below.
15730, Oct 25 at 1829, very poor open carrier with flutter; 1830 joining French
from VOA Washington in progress, only S3. HFCC shows site for this hour is now:
VATICAN, violating Separation of Church & State. At 1920 with rock music in
English, still heavy flutter.
15740, Oct 25 at 1920, open carrier, certainly Greenville warming up for 1930
French transmission to be on 15730, but avoiding covering up preceding site
Vatican which has heavy flutter during American pop music show announced in
French; At *1928:20, GB cuts on 15730 briefly making LAH, off again; *1929 GB
comes back on to stay, unmodulated atop SMG still speaking for a minute; 1930
modulation switch now very loud from GB only with `Les Info` en VOA-Afrique.
HFCC B-15 now shows this convoluted usage of 15730 by IBB = VOA:
1630-1730 GB in Portuguese, Fridays only (call in special?)
1830-1930 SMG in French daily
1930-2030 GB in French daily
2030-2100 Botswana in French, Sundays only
2030-2100 Botswana in Hausa, Saturdays only
17530, the former // to 15730 in French, is gone, overcome by Brother Scare!
See SOUTH CAROLINA [non] --- A rude surprise for those expecting VOA, which
despite its drawbacks remains an example of American rationality (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
15580, Oct 25 at 1829, VOA is very poor, S3, sports scores in English with
heavy African accent. By 1903 during VOA news in English, this has improved to
fair, S7; 1905 into ``Teaching & Learning English`` hour --- to be composed of
`New Dynamic English` and `Funxioning in Business` during first semihour; then
`As It Is`, among other segments. HFCC shows 15580 site usage of VOA English in
B-15 is now: daily 03-05 via KUWAIT, 05-07 BOTSWANA, 14-20 BOTSWANA (but
azimuth change at 16), 20-21 VATICAN, 21-22 GREENVILLE.
(Between 1907 and 1920 I have switched from the NRD-545 to the FRG-7 during
this session.) English, strictly speaking, but awfully beepy, VOA Radiograms
are on a new 45 kW GB frequency; from HFCC B-15:
5910 0930-1000 Sat
17580 1600-1630 Sat
5745 0230-0300 Sun
15670 1930-2000 Sun
15670 noted here Oct 25, carrier on by 1920; undermodulated during 1930 spoken
introduxion by Kim who said the new frequencies would be presented, and into
MFSK32 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also CUBA [non]: Radio Mart?
** U S A. 21675, Oct 25 at 1814, R. Africa via WRMI on new frequency today
continues with VG signal S9+20, `Christ Gospel Broadcast` from Indiana.
21600, Oct 25 at 1814, WHRI is now as strong as WRMI unlike earlier, in fact
stronger at S9+35, with Bishop Shelton`s `Church of the Lord Jesus Christ of
Apostolic Faith`, a longtime SW gospel huxter, but one who does not have to be
on 24/7; perhaps when he passes? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [non]. 17800, Oct 25 at 1932, good S9+20 singing and drumming, 1933
African language. HFCC shows it`s AWR Fulfulde via SOUTH AFRICA, with 250 kW at
315 degrees carrying on well beyond West Africa to all the 7DA
Fulfulde-speakers in America.
15480, Oct 25 at 1935, S9+15 signal with Arabic music, very heavy flutter, 1940
sure sounds like Christian preaching even tho I don`t understand a word of it.
Yes: AWR Arabic via MADAGASCAR, 1900-2000, 250 kW, 350 degrees. Their next
broadcast on 15480, French at 2000-2030, moves to Meyerton, South Africa (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 690, Oct 25 at 1850 UT, open carrier/dead air from KGGF Coffeyville
KS; finally at 1852 UT comes alive with ad for Incorporation.com, 1853 UT more
dead air, 1853.6 UT resumes Steelers football at Arrowhead. I was hoping they
would stay dead air except for commercials, as has happened before (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Not ARG - Radio Nacional 2120 UT 9690 kHz O=3 here in Germany, as reported
wrongly,
it was new REE Noblejas outlet on B-15 9690 kHz frequency.
In Germany 9690 was not as strong as expected via this European path,
rather REE on 15390 and 15500 kHz were stronger here tonight.
At 2240 UT heard also Radio Inconfidencia, Belo Horizonte, MG Brasil outlet
on 15190.046 kHz, after RMI Okeechobee ceased using this broadcast channel
now.
Radio Nacional Programm from Buenos Aires in Spanish on Sats/Suns only close
to variable 15345.338 kHz at solid S=9+5dB signal, but not stable frequency,
wandered up and down 10-20 Hertz.
But my puzzle tonight is a Spanish language program on exact 15505.0 kHz,
CRI Bamako Chinese nominal request registered at 2230-2300 UT. Much fluttery
signal from equator region ?
re 15505 kHz
Yes, 100% til 23.00:20 UT TX OFF heard CRI Spanish instead of Chinese
language mentioned on their operational schedule.
2230-2257 UT 15505 kHz BKO 100 kW 85 deg to CeAF Chinese
