** AUSTRALIA. Radio Australia continues to be totally missing whenever the
known frequencies are checked: Aug 10 at 2140, no 17840 or 15240 while NZ is
JBA on 15720. Aug 11 at 0552, no signals on 17840, 15240. Aug 11 at 1325, no
signals on 9580, 12085, 12065.
On 11 August 2016 at 01:34, I asked the mostly dormant ARDXC members discussion
list: ``Does anyone have any info about what has happened???``
One reply came: ``On RA website, ways to listen, twitter feed shows off air for
maintenance 08.15 till 1500 AEST/PNG Time. John Smith Brisbane``
Copied exactly from his screenshot:
#raonair @radioaustralia #RAOnAir
Reminder: There will be a shortwave outage today between 08.15-15.00 AEST/PNG
time due to maintenance #RAOnAir
KennyBee #No2EU Retweeted [same]
``Today`` date not shown, but those times = 2215-0500 UT, and RA remains

Dear Harald, Thank you for your email regarding the ABC Radio Australia

you please let me know where you are located?

They are "investigating this issue". Could this mean they want to find out if
listeners still care about shortwave? We should all write to them and ask what
happens to their shortwave transmissions. Especially if one lives in their
target area. 73 Harald``.
Lacking any RA to listen to, I hear this relevant item on NPR Morning Edition,
about Australia`s shocking treatment of refugees on Nauru:

Steve Inskeep talks to Anna Neistat of Amnesty International about recently

** U S A. 1480, Aug 11 at 0640 UT, S Asian vocal music, It`s KBXD Dallas, which
newsmark reported to radioinsight (via Artie Bigley) had reactivated Aug 8 with
this new stunting format, ex-C&W music; had been off the air for about a
sesquimonth. Now dominating frequency, no way I could listen to KQAM Wichita if
I wanted to, so KBXD on 50 kW day power? 0700 UT ToH ID as ``This is KBXD,
1480, Dallas``, same slightly Spanish(?) accent as was heard before the latest
music flip (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** VIETNAM [and non]. Voice of Vietnam has sent schedules indicating changes in
English to North America, which are NOT confirmed: (gh)
The editor of weekly electronic bulletin RUS DX, Moscow, Russia, Mr. Anatoly
Klepov, writes in Forum DENEB, Russia for some changes in the schedule of Voice
of Vietnam in English:
0000-0027 & 0100-0127 on 6175 WHRI (ex 0100-0127 & 0230-0257 on 12005
Woofferton);
new 1100-1127 & 1500-1527 on 7285 Vietnam;
new 2130-2157 on 7280 & 9730 Vietnam. The other broadcasts are unchanged
(Translated by Rumen Pankov, Sofia, Bulgaria, Aug 10, WORLD OF RADIO 1838, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
How early the frequency in the 49 m is starting. Usually this has been down in
early November after daylight saving time and more evening of
darkness can help the 49 m band (Richard Lemke, Alberta, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
Relay sites not specified below, but 6175 in B-seasons has been Woofferton at
0100 & 0230; WHRI still at 0330. Current WHR schedule shows Angel 2 at 0330 on
6175 with VOV, but still with other services before 0300 on 9605, 7315.

(via Richard Lemke, Alberta, Aug 10, reformatted by gh for DX LISTENING DIGEST)
Dropping 12005 for 6175 did not happen at the very beginning of August; was
still being reported on 12005.
The printed sked, without a specific date other than August 2016 does show 0000
& 0130 UT with correct Hanoi time conversion 0700 & 0830 for 6175, but nothing
heard on 6175 at 0013 UT August 11. 12005 is as usual occupied at this hour by
a weak Cairo noise blob. So will VOV still be on 12005 Woofferton at 0100? or
6175 at 0100 WHRI or Woofferton? (Glenn Hauser, WORLD OF RADIO 1838, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
It appears that VOV is totally confused about this, failed to coordinate it
with relay sites, or at best has jumped the gun with this announcement. Further
monitoring here early UT August 11:
At 0201, nothing on 6175, weak signal on 12005; away from device noise on the
porch with the PL-880, I get a carrier about 6173.9 which is surely Radio
Tawantinsuyo, Per?! 12005 has something with music. This would be amid the
0130-0230 Vietnamese language broadcast via WOF. At 0232, on the R75, no 6175,
and JBA algo on 12005.
The early change to 49m may well have been spurred by deteriorating reception
on 12005, over the night trans-Atlantic path. What VOV really needs is an
interim channel, say 9 MHz band from Woofferton in Aug-Sept-Oct. Not checked,
but 6175 should have come up as usual from WHRI at 0300, including 0330
English. This WHRI transmitter VOV has been using is not available before 0300
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
And, according to a wrong announcement from the French service: "from Sept 1,
9625 will no longer be used for the 2100 broadcast"
9625 (from Moosbrunn) is used at 1830 (in French at this time), not at 2100

** AUSTRALIA. 17840 & 15240, Aug 11 at 2355 check, R. Australia is STILL
MISSING. A couple more inquiries appeared meanwhile on their Facebook:
``Richard Cook Yesterday at 12:56pm --- Your shortwave service fir radio
australia isnt on the usual frequencies for 2days now any idea why?``
``Rick Barton Yesterday at 6:04pm --- can anyone there tell us if there is an
outage at Shepparton, or has SW broadcasting from RA / ABC ceased? I have been
a regular listener here in USA.``
``Kandee Storrs --- I am guessing that weather problems in the Shepparton area
may be to blame. I have not received any definite answers yet. 11 hours ago``
``Rick Barton --- I am wondering also --- can anybody at RA/ABC tell us what is
going on? about an hour ago``.
Now Ron Howard reports to the DXLD yg as of 0215 UT August 12::
``Hi Glenn, Sent an inquiry to RA about what is happening to their SW
service. Told them how much I missed hearing RA this week via SW. Also informed
them how well ABC Alice Springs NT was recently coming in, via 4835 kHz. and
attached an audio clip for them to listen to.
The reply today (Aug 11) from reception.advice @ abc.net.au :
"Thank you for your recent correspondence with regards to the Radio Australia
Broadcasts on Shortwave Radio in the SW Pacific. We are currently working with
our transmission provider on a number of shut downs over the past week and

** BRAZIL. 11934.67, Aug 12 at 0005, R?dio RB2 with music is S3, probably
originating with Aparecida. Weeks ago it was steadily drifting down below
11935, and I thought it might keep going, but it halted around here. 11925+
Bandeirantes and 11855- Aparecida also audible (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** CHINA [and non]. 15564.92, Aug 12 at 0017, CNR1 echo jamming atop weaker
15565 signal, which is presumably IBB Mandarin via Thailand, this hour only
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 5990, Aug 12 at 0015, CRI Spanish relay is missing here and also not
on 15120. Various RHC frequencies also AWOL: 15230 at 0015; 9535 at 0021 (but
was on before 0000); 9710 at 0022, but uncovering weak CRI Portuguese via
Kashgar; 11840 at 0022, while 11670 splatterer and 11760 are on; no 17730; no
6060 but was on earlier. At 0045, 9535 and much stronger 9710 are back on
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GUINEA. 9650, Aug 11 at 2350, R. Guin?e is still going for the seventh day
in a row, so maybe here to stay. Poor S2 but ECSS helps. In French; 2357
mentions C?te d`Ivoire for some reason, instrumental and vocal music bits,
2358, ``Amis auditeurs``, probably saying good-night to listeners; 2359 short
anthem(?) by band, 2359:35 repetitive drumming, interval signal? runs past 0000
this time until 0000:40 Aug 12 dead air, off at 0001* sharp (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NORTH AMERICA. UNIDENTIFIED, 6930-USB, Aug 12 at 0010 tune-in, yelling and
screaming about crime with background music, S8 but heavy noise level; stops at
0011, nothing further. Also logged as unID here:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,29450.0.html
and another/same 6930 pirate also reported the last few evenings (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 1580, UT Fri Aug 12 at 0036 UT, KOKB Blackwell is playing music
again instead of stupid sports talk (I previously heard some music on Sunday
evening). Soon found to be // its Triple-Play siblings, 1020 KOKP Perry, and
105.1 KOSB Stillwater, but 1580 is running about one word behind the other two
which are synchronized. Glib DJ is doing a weekly Thursday ``regional chart
countdown``, but mumbles the show name, ``Red Dirt --- ---``. Finally about the
fifth time I can tell he is saying ``Red Dirt`s Most Wanted``. (Red Dirt is a
proud Okie music genre, or sub-genre, rather like country.) Laments that their
phone is out since an electrical storm. Looks forward to all the OSU students
about to come back. 0057 UT outroing the show as having been ``recorded in the
heart of the Red Dirt scene, Stillwater, Oklahoma``. 0100 UT rejoining Fox
Sports Radio. Maybe they have a strip of different music shows each evening?
The Sunday one had started two hours earlier (Glenn Hauser

** PERU. 5980.0, Aug 12 at 0023, R. Chaski JBA carrier, recheck at 0102 to
track its autocutoff, which has slid to 0103:50*, which is 58.5 seconds later
than last check, August 3 until 0102:51.5*, keeping up the average of 6.5
seconds later per noctem (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 15440, Aug 11 at 1909, WRMI Brother Scare sounds
familiar: I think I just missed another stale replay of his April? May? Attack
on yours truly as he goes on to talk about how `ven-zoo-eee-lah`` is going down
the tubes, soon to be followed by the Good Old USA. Not concerned with
``mockers and scoffers``, only the ``few`` who will follow him. What about his
grand tour of the northeast this? weekend?? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1838 monitoring: confirmed Thursday August
11 at 2100 on WRMI 13695, S9+20. I suggest this is a good reliable time to
catch WOR when it`s fresh. Also confirmed Thu Aug 11 at 2330 on WBCQ,

** U S A. 11580, Aug 11 at 1906, this WRMI frequency is missing, while others
including 11565 remain. 11580 still off at 0009 and 0104 chex Aug 12. This is
one of two transmitters hooked up to a 44 degree antenna toward Europe, but
supposedly also good at lesser angles up the east coast of North America. The
other one is 15770/7780. Among the programs/stations missing out today on 11580
were Ukraine and Slovakia (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 17775, Aug 11 at 1913, KVOH is still on past nominal 1900*, with ID,
addresses, monomaniacal praise music in Spanish for that self-centered deity
they project, and his assistant. Good signal and modulation. Appears to be
open-ended; maybe they let it run a bit longer on Friday since they know they
will take the weekend off (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 12105, Aug 12 at 0003, WTWW-3 is S9 of dead air, vs lite CODAR, still
so at 0020, 0047 chex. A waste of 100+ kWh, so what else is new? (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1480, Aug 12 at 0029 UT, S Asian songs as KBXD Dallas is already
propagating, atop/mixing with KQAM et al. It`s still an hour before our sunset
at 0126 UT (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1579.58, Aug 12 0036 UT, off-frequency carrier is hetting KOKB
1580.0. Tnx to Terry Krueger in FL and Tim Tromp in MI, this was already IDed
Aug 9 as WVOK, Oxford AL, 2500/22 watts U1. Official FCC sunset is 0030 UT in
August (2345 UT in Sept), and the other guys were hearing it definitely at
night, so also running day power? Still not enough to detect anything but the
carrier here under KOKB. One way to pinpoint the frequency indirectly: note the
pitch of the het when tuned to 1580 in AM. Then with BFO, tune down until
hearing the same pitch as reverse het from 1580, and read the readout.
Oxford ``1580`` has been WVOK since Sept. 3, 2002, but I remember when a much
bigger station was WVOK: 50 kW 690 in Birmingham until 1992 (now WJOX) (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** VIETNAM [non]. 12005, Aug 12 at *0100:08, S6-S8 carrier on from Woofferton
UK, 4 notes of music amid dead air, fade-up sign-on of ``Voice of Vietnam, from
Hanoi, capital of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam``, 0101 more dead air,
0101:30 a bit of talk, more dead air; 0102 finally join news in English already
in progress, and this time keeps modulating.
So nothing has changed! Despite the VOV schedule which was circulating showing
6175 had replaced 12005 and times changed from 0100 & 0230 to 0000 & 0100 via
WHRI. I already explained why those two broadcasts would not be WHRI if and
when implemented, but absolutely nothing was on 6175 at 0000 or 0100 August 12.
Anyhow, tonight was a good one for propagation from Woofferton on 12005 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
