** ALBANIA [non]. Christian, Radio Tirana English has not been appearing on WRMI 5850 at 2300, as had been scheduled. Apparently they are not getting the files. If you are still the intermediary for this arrangement, I hope you can correct it. 73, (Glenn Hauser to Christian Milling, Jan 24 via DXLD)
Hi Glenn, Radio Tirana changed their streaming URL without notifying anybody. I've corrected it, so tonite there should be a new episode ready for playout. 73, (Christian Milling, shortwaveservice.com, Germany, Jan 25, via DXLD) ** ANGUILLA. 6090, Jan 25 at 0251, PMS is on again; 11775, Jan 25 at 1453, off again (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** BOUVET ISLAND [non]. 7024-7025, Jan 25 at 0648, CW pileup sending callsigns only every few seconds, suspected trying to reach 3Y0Z DX-pedition, nominally on 7023. Nothing in LSB around 7082. Of course there could be other DX-peditions now I have not researched. It looks like they were still enroute to Bouvet as of Jan 24, so the pileups heard may have been trying to work their maritime mobile: ``January 24, 2018: Sunny, clear skies this morning provided a very nice view, as we passed the snowy peaks of the South Georgia Islands 20 miles to the south of us. Spectacular! – Hal, W8HC Our first iceberg was sighted today about 100 miles southeast of South Georgia. Incoming signals to 3G9A/MM are generally weak. This is due to our maritime mobile antennas and their location. Our on-island antennas will be much, much better! – Ralph, KØIR`` Own website refers to here to ``follow us``: https://dxwatch.com/dxped/3Y0Z The last three entries are: ``VK2HR 3Y0Z 14002.5 [AN-002] Tnx Qso New One 0558z 24 Jan FM5AN 3Y0Z 14000 [AN-002] Good travel...we are ready! 1549z 23 Jan YL2HX 3Y0Z 3502 [AN-002] Heard in E31A pileup 2311z 20 Jan`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, 1645 UT Jan 25, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CANADA. 1610, Jan 25 at 0701 UT, YL news in Brazuguese, surely CHHA Toronto, Voces Latinas, tho their 2-year-old program sked sorely needs updating, as it just shows `All Night Music` at 06-11 UT Mon-Fri (and blank on weekends --- off the air? I doubt it) http://chha1610am.ca/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/PostCard-CHHA-1610AM-2016.jpg And please explain how six hours of Punjabi each week were Latinas in any sense whatsoever (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CHINA. 11710 // 11875, Jan 25 at 0655, pop music and Chinese announcements, SSOBs.

RHC audio readable in FM mode on the ones closer to source 15370-AM. At least 15236 is far enough from RHC 15230-AM today not to QRM it; roughly 67.5 kHz intervals. But woe to CHR Trenton Military 15034-USB and anyone trying to access it. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** PUERTO RICO. 14245-USB, Jan 25 at 1358, after drawing a blank on Bouvet 14185+, I find KP4FL trying to QRT but keeps getting called by other PRs, first one apparently someone he was glad to resume contact with, post-María. Rather chaotic with many talkovers. 20m is not a good band for local contacts, unless very close by groundwave, so suspect some of them are exiled, e.g. la Florida mentioned, also Caguas PR. Per ARRL/FCC lookup, KP4FL is: LORENZINI, GIOVANNI, KP4FL URB GRAN VISTA 1 CALLE ARBOLEDA 211 GURABO, PR 00778 But no Italian accent I could make out. The others in rapid colloquial Spanish I could not follow, but no callsigns ever heard. Only KP4FL once gave his, fonetikaly (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A [and non].

Don`t see how this could be anything but KHPY Moreno Valley CA, only 1670 SS listed in NRC-AM Log, and with religious format. Moreno Valley is just east of Riverside, population almost 200K, one of the largest cities we`ve never heard of in any other context. 1670, at 1330 UT, I also hear at least a few notes of ``The Star Spangled Banner``, unseems from either of the above. But what third station would be playing it, presumably around local sunrise, and audible? There are only two other Unitedstatesians on 1670, Redding CA and Dry Branch (Macon) GA (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) This report dispatched at 1705 UT January 25 _ 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.
