** ARGENTINA [non]. 9455, Friday February 2 at 0907 check, ``tango argentino``
and Japanese announcement, so confirmed is RAE relay via WRMI this hour only,
this frequency only M-F; very good signal. Is there any news at the start? If
so, must be brief. See USA: WRMI for Portuguese, German, Italian (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BELGIUM. 14180-USB, Feb 2 at 1457, looking for Bouvet, here is OT4A calling
QRZ or CQ20, callsign always fonetik, and making very quick contacts with RS as
if this is a DX contest; only additional info with every contact, mostly US
stations, is ``name is T-H-E-O``. QRZ.com --:
OT4A Belgium flag
THEO BEMELMANS
BETONWEG 56
3670 MEEUWEN-GRUITRODE
Belgium
And he`s a.k.a. ON4AEK. Apparently a lot of hams get secondary calls for
DX/contest purposes with different prefices for the benefit of WPX hunters,
even while operating from same home QTH. But don`t try to QSL him direct. Lots
of photos of his antennas (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CANADA. ND beacons, MCW IDs per http;//www.dxinfocentre.com/ndb ---
317, Feb 2 at 0705 UT, VC and dash, from La Ronge, Saskatchewan, 2158 km, 1341
st mi in N Central Sask
332, Feb 2 at 0707 UT, QT and dash, from Thunder Bay, Ontario --- seems like
negative keying, maybe the way I am off/tuned?
395, Feb 2 at 0713 UT, YL and dash, Lynn Lake, Manitoba, 2289 km = 1423 st mi
even further N than La Ronge
(also relog of 388, GLY, Clinton-Golden Valley, Missouri at 0712; I`ll try to
avoid relogs of nearby domestix) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 15233, 15302, 15439, 15508, Feb 2 at 1453 check, the worst of the
RHC-FM spurblobs out of 15370-AM are on today around these peaks (Glenn Hauser,

** U S A. 9455 // 9955, Feb 2 at 1202, I`m awake to check out RAE`s Portuguese
hour via WRMI. Altho 9455 was quite strong 3 hours earlier for Japanese [See
ARGENTINA non], now both are JBA, S1-S2 and at first I can`t determine the
language. At 1220, 9455 suddenly fades up to S9+10! Must be when enough
insolation heats the ionosphere between there and here. 9955 is not quite as
strong, and by 1224 bothered by Cuban pulse jamming as if they should care
whether Argentina speak to Brasil! A good way to make friends for Cuba? Now
that I can hear it, a long narration about a singer from the 1930s, with
ancient recordings.
At 1240 both are good with song; 1245 talk feature but with continuous music
bed, faded up to full periodically, about San Juan province and some geological
national park. YL speaks Porte?ugu?s, i.e. Brazuguese with an Argentine Spanish
accent; of course, many place names are pronounced in original Spanish, or
Porte?ol. 1251 about comidas in that region; 1252 the pulse jam on 9955 is JBA,
seems to mention ``O base de la Luna``?, 1253 outroduxion credits with program
name mentioned once but I don`t copy it. Also mentions ``quarta-feira``,
implying that this is the Wednesday broadcast, not even Thursday`s, now on
Friday. Also explains why no Friday `Atualidade DX` segment heard today. Maybe
Tuesday? Yes, program schedule here
http://www.radionacional.com.ar/rae-portugues/
shows the 4-feira travelog feature title I was hearing: `Rotas Argentinas`. And
the earlier feature could have been `A Conversa??o`. 1254 finished and plays
RAE multi-lingual ID loop twice; 1257 to Polynesian fill music from WRMI. So
this service is anyhow confirmed, altho previously it was not lasting until :57
past the hour.
BUT, RAE in German & Italian now complete their fourth week of imaginary
broadcasts at the new scheduled times of 19-21 UT M-F and new WRMI frequency
9395: Feb 2 at 2045 check, 9395 with World Music fill, that jaunty sax tune. Se
vuoi ascoltare l`italiano, tune to 9455 // 7780 at 2045 Friday altho `AWR
Wavescan` is scheduled at 2030-2100.
However, today, `The Power Hour` is still running on 9395 // 7780, resuming at
2135 Feb 2 after break with a hard-sell adstring for the paranoid; instead of
defaulting to World Music fill on these a few minutes after 2100 as I had been
logging repeatedly (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** VATICAN [non]. 9610, Feb 2 at 1226, S5-S2 open carrier, typical Greenville
warmup could have been going already 10 minutes earlier. 1230 JIP (join in
progress), Vatican News IS and ID pronounced in mandatory ingl?s, sign-on in
Spanish with `Informativo matutino` for 2 de febrero. So was it recorded
earlier? It`s already tarde in Roma, the center of the universe. 1245* cuts off
modulation abruptly in mid-word, with no despedida, carrier off a few seconds
later.
Not a trace of any VOA ID or IS before or after, as if they are ashamed to be
violating Separation of Church & State, so casual listeners would have no idea
whence this really radiate. Anyhow, confirms as I suspected, that like the 0145
UT broadcast on 7305, also violating Separation of Church & State, this too has
been curtailed to only 15 minutes, ex-45 in that case, ex-30 in this case. The
WRTH B17 updater missed these changes.
The RCC should also explain why they need to use secular VOA Greenville when
they have their own WEWN Radio Cat?lica Mundial which is also relaying Vatican
News in Spanish (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, 0100-0115 UT February 2:
this time with the NRD-545 and ALA-330S oriented E/W. I usually prefer the R75
where it`s easy to set 9 kHz steps from any starting point. In this case I have
to tune 1 kHz away from each 9-kHz plan frequency on SSB. For some reason, it`s
mostly midband, nothing at low end and only one at high end: 882, 909, 936,
1044, 1053, 1089, 1098, 1116, 1125, 1134, 1152, 1161, 1179, 1197, 1521.
February 2 at 0648-0702 UT, back on the R75 with E/W longwire. This time I am
tuning 1 kHz above with LSB, which could alter the results. Ideally I should do
both LSB and USB with the close frequencies. 531, 549, 558, 567, 585, 621, 639,
693, 711(seems off frequency plus), 729, 774, 783, 801, 855, 882*, 909, 936,
954, 999, 1044(2), 1053, 1089, 1116, 1125, 1152, 1197, 1215*, 1251.
*strongest ones, maybe a bit of audio on 882. 711+ is signature of this per
Bruce Conti, NH, NRC:
``711 WESTERN SAHARA SNRT La?youne JAN 26 2200 - Presumed this at 711.12 kHz in
het party with 711.02 Iran and 711 Spain``
I also try LW but only sign of anything is 198 at 0703 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX

UNIDENTIFIED. 6040.3-USB, Feb 2 at 0134, weak 2-way in Spanish INTRUDERS;
nothing on 6040.0 at the moment, but het from BRAZIL 6040.67 must not bother
them, nor the possibility of a spurblob from HJDH 6010v showing up in the area
again (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
