I then turned on the XHDATA D-808 Gary Debock modified and there it is as well at 06:18 with CW. Most impressive! Not as strong now compared to 06:01 when the signal was really strong. Almost as if the engineer turned down the signal strength. Now audible in the background. Most interesting! 73, Walt in Victoria, BC On Sat, May 2, 2020 at 4:28 AM Paul B.

Talvitie - RIP Message-ID: <he1pr07mb423671a7156fb9afe0562bd1f7...@he1pr07mb4236.eurprd07.prod.outlook.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" With deep sorrow the Finnish DX Association wants to inform the DX world about the passing of our Honorary President Jyrki K. Talvitie at the age of 78. Jyrki was one of the founders of our club in 1958 and a long-time President of our club. During the years he also carried numerous other duties in the club. Jyrki was Secretary General of the European DX Council in the early 1970's. He was appointed the first Honorary President of the FDXA in 2016. Jyrki's greatest interest target in DXing and travelling was Latin America. Spanish was his home language for decades and he was specialized in Mexico and Guatemala, but he had also travelled in many other parts of Central and South America. Jyrki's work was to run his own publishing company Tietoteos and a good part of the books published by Tietoteos were also written or compiled by him. Tietoteos imported the WRTH to Finland for decades and it also published several DX books like "Latin America by Radio" (by Henrik Klemetz). Most of Jyrki's listening activities took place in 1950's and 1960's, but he was active in our club all the time. The last events of our club participated by him were the EDXC meeting 2017 in Tampere, the 60th anniversary cruise of our club in January 2018 and the summer meeting in Kuortane 2018.

Likely either RBA or WCB, but quickly ID in passing as ``Your New Life Station``, so KNLS, which besides, is gone from 9580 where we had been hearing this English hour. Why change? No CCI or ACI to 9580 during this hour nor shown in Aoki/NDXC. 1450, still going on 9695 with gospel music, and then capsule about archaeology, no doubt biblical and anti-science. A bit more music with no sign-off but dead air at 1459, keeps running and 1500 opens Russian, which I guess is also a replacement for 9730 where I just heard it a few days ago, but unrechecked now. Is 9695 now on the ``latest broadcasting schedule``? Of course not! https://www.worldchristian.org/welcome/who-we-are/how-to-listen/ Guess what: Sa`udi in Pashto is already scheduled on 9695 at 14-16, but no sign of it here, maybe imaginary. Guess what (2)? KNLS is scheduled on 9695 at 08-10 in English & Russian, so now I suspect 9695 be a one(?)-off mistake, failing to change to 9580/9730 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** ALGERIA [non]. 7295, May 2 at 0521, RTA Qur`an via FRANCE again has rapid-beep jamming, tone or carriers less than 1 kHz from each side; approx. 10 X per second. A few recent chex lacked them, so not always applied. Who would want to jam this? Could it be something else, like spurs out of Cuban jamming nearby against no Mart?? 7365 over 7335 does not compute, as that would land on 7305, 30 kHz away. However, 7435 over 7365 would fit, 70 kHz away. But these beeps do not match the mix of sounds heard on the Cuban jammers, nor their rate, and besides, would not explain why other RTA frequencies are also reported jammed. Maybe coincidental (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 7335, 7365, 7405, 7435, May 2 at 0521, Cuban jamming of various levels still running here against Radio Mart? frequencies, the active ones of which, 7335 and 7435, have just been turned off for good at 0400* per budget cuts, as monitored by Stephen Luce, Houston TX. We expect the DentroCuban jamming command will not swiftly turn off too, as they have kept jamming many other previous RM channels. However, Stephen Luce follows up: ``At a later 0530 check May 2 the Cuban jamming was still going on 6030; however nothing on 7335 and 7435.`` Steve McGreevy suggests: ``A few things come to mind why Cuba keeps-on their jamming (possibly): 1) Unaware of the Marti outage thus keeping them going; 2) They know BUT afraid to switch off the jammers and have Marti take advantage and switch back on in the clear... 3) The Cubans have more jamming budget under their system to blare away 24/7 (?) rather than "budget" to better-match the schedule of Marti... a little cold-war remnant just like our monitoring of the KOR/KRE fascination, eh?! 73 - Steve :-) -- N6NKS - www.auroralchorus.com `` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 13436, 13501, 13568, 13634; 13766, 13833, 13900, May 2 at 1411-1415, extremely distorted FM/AM spurblobs at approx. 66-kHz intervals out of 13700-AM, the outer ones JBA except for S7-S9 13900 which I hit first downtuning; in some cases a trace of the F# tone the only clue. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 13545, 13610, 13675; 13805, 13870, 13935, 13999 approx., May 2 at 2116, now it`s the 13740-AM frequency carrying the spur-blob-producing transmitter we have previously caught on 15370, and many mornings including today on 13700. Now these are about 65-kHz intervals, declining from strong S4-S6 at the first order out to JBA on the outskirts, at least with the signature F# tone. 13870 also conflicts with the RTTY normally on there. This of course can only happen when fundamental 13740 be on the air in the tardes, extremely irregular. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** INDIA [and non]. Dawn Chorus birdsongs started at 0015 May 3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZgwftFhUQCk Tnx to Jose Jacob for the link (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NETHERLANDS [non]. 9925, UT Sun May 3 at 0027, The Mighty Farty KBC on reactivated May-Aug frequency via Nauen, GERMANY, rock music, what else? Fair signal to UTwente SDR, maybe a bit too close. But JBA here in OK! at 0034 check; at a Maine SDR, good signal that far anyway. At UTwente, ex-5960 is now open for Chinese. Perhaps 7 MHz band would have been a good compromise for broader North American coverage (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 6933-USB, May 3 at 0033, JBA rock music here, but good at Maine SDR, seems originally live concert with crowd applause. Some unreadable announcements. Many logs here say it`s KINK Radio, apparently playing only music by a such-named band. https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,66482.0.html 0042 stops, but soon resumes on 6935-AM, apparently same station (Glenn Hauser, OK WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 90.1-WBFM, May 2 at 2015 UT, KUCO-FM Edmond/OKC with this Saturday`s opera already over, the anonymous fill-music show is playing something very interesting; I really perk up when I hear a well-known humaly in the voice of Carl Sagan. It ends at 2035 when Lane Whitesell IDs this as Carolyn Shaw`s ``The Listeners``. We never know exactly when the good stuff will start once the Met be over. Unfortunately, KUCO provides no playlist on weekends even for its original programming, so I search about it later. ``The Listeners`` premiered last fall in California: https://www.sfcv.org/reviews/philharmonia-baroque-orchestra-chorale/philharmonia-baroque-orchestra-chorale-unveils https://www.kdfc.com/culture/the-state-of-the-arts/caroline-shaw-the-listeners-world-premiere/ https://datebook.sfchronicle.com/music/review-caroline-shaws-gleaming-new-oratorio-looks-toward-the-cosmos https://philharmonia.org/2019-2020-season/a-cosmic-notion/ So far I don`t find any linx to recordings of it which one of these says is about 30 minutes long. But KUCO got it. Some more vocal music on KUCO, and listening on $tereo headphones, I can tell that Lane is voice-tracked, as there are breaks in the background noise level during his announcements. With another hour to fill, after ToH IDs at 2100 it drops to dead air for a minute, then defaults to non-vocal music, really strange stuff, harpsichord and violin hitting some really sour notes; like a parody? When I recheck at 2110, Kimberly Powell is apparently live, apologizing for disruption in regular programming, and playing a properly tuned piano quintet (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 9830, May 2 at 2210, VOT English is on the air today, but mostly Turkish fill music, VG via UTwente but with some hum --- not positive whether it be transmitted thus. But from 2229.5 to 2228, it`s an evergreen `Turkey`s Tourist Attraxions`, all about the crossroads of Istanbul. Rest is mostly music, occasional TRT/VOT promos ``with you 24 hours`` --- really? and 2238 COVID-19 PSA about how to fight it; 2253 sign-off claiming it`s the 1230 broadcast on 15450, IS, 2256 restart IS with German IDs inserted but this time cut off at 2258.5* before can start that phantom service. Something`s always awry at Ankara, erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non].
