NIGERIA [non !] Once again looked out for Radio Kaduna Nigeria on
6089.855v kHz. But negative this morning, no signal on lower sideband of
6090 kHz. So, seemingly - another shortwave broadcast stn HAS GONE FOR EVER.
Nothing heard from Radio Kaduna anymore, at least since mid 13th! / end of
August 2015.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
** BRAZIL. 9724.92, Dec 2 at 0131, Brazuguese talk into choral music, very poor
S5, so R?dio RB2 has bumped its transmitter back up close to nominal frequency
9725.000, after drifting steadily downward for weeks; yesterday at same time I
had it on 9722.62, and two nights earlier on 9722.72, so the rate of
deceleration was .05 kHz per 24 hours. Shux, no point now in extrapolating when
it would get to 9720.00. But will it resume drifting downward? Possibly not:
Dec 2 at 0726 recheck, it`s still on 9724.92 with a Brazuguese song/hymn (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1802, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CANADA. 2749-USB, Dec 2 at 0144, YL voice in English with day-by-day wind
forecasts thru Sunday night at least, also sea heights, visibilities, past
0152, then Notices to Mariners at 0153;
S8 signal, and noise blanker must be employed on the NRD-545: it`s effective
contrary to what I had heard. Lately have been bugged by increased line noise
level below 3 or 4 MHz here --- even tho power was still out across the street.
Xmas season is typically bad with all the lighting displays at houses, altho I
don`t see any yet in the immediate neighborhood.
Anyway, according to
http://www.ccg-gcc.gc.ca/Marine-Communications/RAMN-2015/Part-2-Atlantic-Facilities-Information
starting at 0140 UT is VCS Halifax, via the Chebogue NS site:
``Radiotelephony (English followed by French):
Technical marine forecasts synopsis, forecasts and wave height forecasts
for marine areas 201 to 2014.
U.S. weather forecasts for Coastal Waters ? Eastport to Schoodic Point,
Maine and Offshore Waters ? Gulf of Maine to the Hague Line.
Notices to Shipping in areas Bay of Fundy, South and West Coast Nova
Scotia.``
2598-USB also has a CCG station at this time, but too weak vs QRN level. Per
same sked source that would be VOK Labrador with two sites shown starting at
0137 --- is it one or the other unpredictably, or what? Cartwright and
Hopedale. Both are on the Labrador coast, Hopedale further north (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 15730, Dec 2 at 2109, surprised to find RHC French on a frequency not
on their B-15 sked at all; had been in A-15 only at 11-15 in Spanish. And this
is // and synchro on scheduled 11880 and 11670. What`s it doing on 15730 now? I
wonder if they were also on it today before 2100, when VOA is the main 15730
occupant, to Africa (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. 9526-, Dec 3 at 1435, not even a JBA carrier from Voice of
Indonesia, which is about all I can ever expect any more. What does Atsunori
Ishida say about recent activity? No signal from 1115 Nov 29, missing on Nov
30, Dec 1, Dec 2, but on Dec 3: ``1044c/on-1110- with very poor. No signal at
1155. Chinese announcement at 1100`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** IRAN. 6061.60, Dec 2 at 0122, JBA carrier detectable on NRD-545 in heavy
6060 Cuba splash, no doubt the off-frequency Zahedan transmitter as scheduled
on 6060 itself in Arabic (Glenn Hauser, OK DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** IRELAND [and non]. 3413-USB, Dec 2 at 0627, weak VOLMET would be Shannon,
but QRM from selcall tones, i.e. San Francisco which has the same frequency for
2-way aero comms. Looked for Shannon on 5 MHz band, but landed on 5450 RAF
instead. Uplooked later in EiBi, I should have tried 5505-USB for Shannon
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1802, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** JAPAN. 6055, Thu Dec 3 at 1351, English lesson from RN-1, levels 3 and 4,
American accent, yet with Big-Ben-like chiming tune in background, discussion
topic: Nobel Prizes; fair (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KOREA NORTH [non]. 5985, Dec 3 at 1347, Sea Breeze from JAPAN, with usual YL
in urgent Thursday English, but very poor, hard to copy, characteristic
electronic stingers interspersed. Maybe jamming noise and/or Myanmar underneath
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KURDISTAN [non]. 9400, Dec 3 at 1420, Denge Kurdistan concert of YL
vocalisations, poor-fair via PRIDNESTROVYE, but then dead air 1424-1429 before
resuming at weaker level (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 700, Dec 3 at 1320-1327+, rustic off-key fiddle & guitar tunes,
occasional shouts interspersed, roughly from WSW so presumably the usual,
XEETCH, native 5 kW daytimer in Etchojoa, Sonora; the only other possibility
XEGD in Parral, Chihuahua. Alone on the frequency, with not much else from
Mexico on low-band; yet by 1339 UT it`s out and WLW is back in.
Enid sunrise today: 1326 UT; our latest at 1343 UT will not be for another
month, but our earliest sunset of the year is almost upon us: 2316 UT (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 1650, Dec 2 at 0700 UT, gospel music: must be a format change
somewhere; 1155 UT recheck, it`s gospel rock, 1200 ID as some FM and KFSW Fort
Smith! So KYHN has finally changed call and format from ``Arklahoma`s Talk
Radio``. The FCC officially changed call from KYHN to KFSW at beginning of
November, but all month long they kept IDing as KYHN.
Paul Walker says the FM is translator K254AM on 98.7, ``Life 98.7``,
contemporary Christian music. So I look up FCC info on that: Licensee is
Educational Media Foundation, which is really a huge nationwide gospel-huxter
network. CoL Fort Smith AR, rebroadcasting KKRI 88.1 which is 1 watt!
horizontal, 17 kW vertical in Pocola OK, also EMF. That in turn retransmits
KLRD, which is apparently the EMF flagship in Yucaipa CA on 90.1. I assume all
that is now at least partially outdated.
So has EMF bought the 1650 facility, or has the different KYHN licensee bought
or rented the translator, which appears to be slightly on the AR side of the
border, south of Ft Smith, but barely reaching that city, and not reaching
further Van Buren with its 60 dbu contour (and not reaching Sallisaw OK at all,
the true location of 1650).
I am chagrined that most DXers appear to insist that 1650 KFSW/KYHN is an
Arkansas station for counting purposes, not an Oklahoman, even tho there is no
doubt whatsoever that its signal emanates from Oklahoma. (But don`t let such
minor technical details get in your way.)
Meanwhile, RIP ``Arklahoma`s Talk Radio`` whose website is still up as of Dec 2:
http://kyhnradio.com/
The /about page still says:
``At KYHN it is our desire to both entertain and inform. We like to say, "We're
conservative, but we're not mad about it". While most of our programs and hosts
hold conservative values and principles we have purposely moved away from those
hosts who desire to scream & holler and who want to be controversial. We
believe we are a radio station that reflects the majority of voices and
thoughts of our listeners in Eastern Oklahoma and Western Arkansas. We have
chosen to carry programs that are more intellectual and thought provoking
rather than those of anger and conspiracy. [HA! Including Alex Jones! --- gh]
We have also made a conscience [sic] choice of offering a variety of programs
ranging from business and financial programs to talk shows. We have programs
from technical computer experts to lawyers, from garden shows to real estate,
from call in shows to local news broadcasts. We don't want the same three guys
saying the same thing every day. We want to be a different option on your
radio`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1802, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA [and non]. Further obs of ice-storm related outages, afternoon of
Dec 1, all times UT:
At 2055, 94.3 has CCI, so local KGLB-LP is NOT on; 2057 playing Super Tramp,
2100 ID as Classic Rock, KXOO (double-O), Elk City. It`s 12/12 kW H/V, and
143/143 m HAAT. Yes, area tropo is a bit up with humidity increase during
melting. Maybe KLGB was not really on earlier when I thought it was.
At 2105, 1140 KRMP OKC must be still off; getting a SAH, and maybe an open
carrier, hard to tell on caradio. Skywave is already coming in a couple hours+
before sunset.
1640, KZLS Enid-Hennessey-OKC is still dead air except for hum. Ditto Dec 2 at
0700 UT and 1155 UT chex, and the hum is really big. Finally Dec 3 around 1330
UT it`s back to local talk progoramming.
1460, KZUE El Reno seems back, on at least something in Spanish with CCI.
Doesn`t take much skywave to overcome KZUE here
FM bandscan starting at 2100 UT Dec 1:
88.3, K202BY, Enid, still off
90.3, KGVV Goltry, now on with dead air
92.1, KAMG-LP Enid, still dead air
94.7, KBRU? Something weak
95.5, KWEY Clinton must be the one as ``The Cat``, and ``The Coyote``, YL DJ

DA
96.9, KQOB still dead air
98.1, WWLS-FM is off

1640, KZLS, still nothing but hum
88.3, K202BY Enid still off

92.1, KAMG-LP Enid still Spanish dead air

95.7, KXLS Lahoma/Enid still dead air
96.9, KQOB Enid/Crescent/OKC, back to normal finally
97.5, KPAK Alva, rock music, presumably this back on
98.1, WWLS-FM, The Village, on but weak
98.9, KYIS, OKC, on and strong
99.7, hearing Spanish only, so 50/50 kW KHLT Belle Plaine (Wichita) KS; and is
KNAH Hank FM, Mustang OK off again? Under normal conditions the two can fight
over the frequency here, but tropo may give KS edge
100.5, KATT OKC is normal
101.9, KTST OKC is still weak
102.7, KJYO OKC is still weak
104.1, KMGL OKC is OK, still Xmas music, yuk
107.1, KNID North Enid still dead air
A few more chex Dec 2 on caradio:
1460, at 1745 UT, ``La Tremenda, la potencia sin competencia``, super hype ---
yes no one can compete with their pennywhistle 500 watt daytime power.
Approaching noon, there is still a SAH, probably skywave from The Metroplex.
Then call letter ID pronounced in Spanish, KZUE, but I still haven`t heard how
they pronounce ``El Reno``. Ads for nearby town Yukon.
107.1 and 95.7 North Enid/Lahoma are still dead air at 1750 UT, and 94.3
KLGB-LP is still off
One more bandscan midday Dec 3, from 1814 UT:
88.3, K202BA, Enid still off; weak gospel probably Wichita
89.1, K206CA, Enid still off, but discussion of Jesus statue, so not KMUW? No,
it is public radio in Wichita, KMUW, pledge drive at 1820
92.1, KAMG-LP, Enid, still dead air in Spanish
94.3, KLGB-LP, Enid, still off, but algo discussion, probably KVCW KS
95.7, KXLS, Lahoma-Enid, STILL DA, one of our main commercial stations
96.1, KXXY, OKC, weak. Until now had stayed strong
98.1, WWLS-FM, The Village/OKC, weak
98.9, KYIS, OKC, strong
99.7, KNAH, Mustang, still off? Only hearing Spanish KHLT KS
100.5, KATT, OKC strong
101.9, KTST, OKC still weak
102.7, KJYO, OKC still weak
104.1, KMGL, OKC, still strong, Xmas music, yuk
105.7, KRDR, Alva, presumed, finally back on with dead air
107.1, KNID, North Enid, finally on and modulating
AM check at 1822 UT Dec 3, one dekaminute before local mean noon:
1140, KRMP OKC, is finally back on, soul music
1460, KZUE El Reno, remains on, Spanish
1640, KZLS Enid-Hennessey-OKC, tho normal earlier, back to dead air

** PERU. 5460, Dec 2 at 0105, no signal detectable from R. Bol?var, which Pedro
F Arrun?tegui, Lima, reported reactivated 24 hours earlier. Line noise level
here is S9+20, despite power being off in a strip across the street. WRTH
schedule for it is 2330-0130 only (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1802, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** PERU [and non]. 5980, Dec 2 at 0111, two JBA carriers, the stronger one, R.
Chaski, off about 0112:45.5* which is 10 seconds later than last night; maybe
one or both are slightly askew as exact time of cutoff may be obscured by
fading (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SOMALILAND. 7120-AM, Dec 3 at 1355, S5 signal but can`t hear any modulation
from R. Hargeisa, which I ought to if level were up to par; stay with it until
cutoff at 1401:39* or so, as Ron Howard reconfirms they take a break between 14
and 15; he can hear them after 15 as his sun is just rising (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SRI LANKA. 11905, Dec 2 at *0114:14.5, SLBC JBA carrier on, music pr?lude
from 0114:48.5, mis-timesignal ending at 0115:17.5, sign-on (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U K. 5450-USB, Dec 2 at 0626, robo-YL with VOLMET, thought it might be
Shannon but EiBi listed as RAF (Glenn Hauser, oK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 3237.0-USB, Dec 2 at 0154, discussion of displays, RFI, with abbr`d
calls including NGI, THN, and strongest TX3, all given fonetikaly; presumably a
MARS net, but no time to keep with it (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 6220.0, Dec 1 at 0106, surprisingly strong S9+10 signal of ranchera
music from WMDB, 880, Nashville, as relayed by WNQM, 1300, as transmitted
spuriously by WWCR 7520, minus 1300 kHz. At this time, 7520 itself is only S9,
as falling MUF is getting past it but not yet to 6.2 MHz. Well, the 10 over 9
signal on 6220 includes some utehash QRM and does fade down soon (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9475, Dec 1 at 2110, WTWW-1 is off. 5830 is on earlier than usual Dec
2 at 0126 check, about rotting teeth. Maybe it was already on at 2110 too
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9265, Dec 1 at 2112, WINB gospel huxter reciting list of affiliates
including WWVA 1170. Modulation is distorted and carrier is wobbling: seems now
typical warmup problem, having come on about half an hour ago. By next check
0127 Dec 2, now good modulation and steady carrier (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** VATICAN [non]. 7425, Dec 2 at 0138, R. Mart? in Spanish is readable at S6 on
the NRD-545, because the intentional 7305, S9+30 carrier in Greenville is
already on warming up for the 0145 Vatican relay, and it`s leapfrogging over
the other Greenville on 7365, S9+35 over jamming, carrying R. Mart?, i.e.
another 60 kHz higher. On 7305 itself some audio from Mart? is also bleeding
in. A good time to try again for a reverse leapfrog on 7245, but inaudible
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 6131.5 approx., Dec 2 at 0121, RTTY intruder is absent for second
night, hope forever (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1802, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 7235.82 approx., Dec 3 at 1405, JBA carrier, which points to
always off-frequency EBC by longpath; or does it? EiBi has it on 7236.5 at
14-15 as EBC in Arabic; 15-16 switches to V. of Democratic Alliance
clandestine; 16-17 back to EBC in English. Recent report from Wolfgang B?schel
puts it a little lower, but supposedly not varying down below 7236:
``7236.372 kHz footprint narrowed - the Ethiopian station always wanders up and
down 20-30 Hertz. Scheduled Radio Ethiopia in Arabic in 14-15 UT slot, from
Addis Ababa-Gedja site. Noted at 1405 UT on Nov 25 (wb, wwdxc BC-DX TopNews Nov
25)``
Of course, on this band mixed with ``40 meter`` hams, one of them could be
running a carrier to confuse us. I also have a weaker signal on 7235.0,
presumably VOA Korean via Tinian (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 21865.5-USB, Dec 3 at 1505, very animated 2-way in Spanish with
strange accent, keeps referring to various ``miles de pesos`` of some
commodity; sorta Portuguese, so maybe Galician. But pesos instead of pesetas
hints at Mexican. Rather, I am not hearing his contact during cambios (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
Since this report covers 3 days, I have double and triple-checked to be sure
all dates be correct: I think so
This report dispatched at 1911 UT December 3

re ETH surprisingly 7234.9v
a pity,
just before I could MEASURE accurate ODD frequency, ETH bcast left the air
exact at scheduled 0430 UT on day=6 fridays !
The transmission was on the low side close approx. 7234.8 ... x.9 kHz.
This Dec 4th 0430 UT morning.
