[HCDX] Saturday DX
Unident, 4865.018, 2315-2331 While checking the frequency range from 4864 to 4866 KHz, I noticed three Radio Station images using the WR-G31DDC Receiver. From previous checks of these frequencies, I knew that the frequency of 4865.054 was Brazil's Radio Verdes Florestas. The second frequency noted was 4864.562 which is probably another Brazilian Radio Station that I haven't identified yet. The third frequency noted of 4865.018 KHz may be Bolivia's Radio Logos, but that is yet to be determined. In the meantime, the station on 4865.018 went off the air at 2330 UTC. AOKI's database says that Logos goes off at 2300 while EIBI says they go off at 0200 and there's no schedule mentioned in last year's WRTH for Logos. Unfortunately the audio on these three Radio Stations is very threshold if heard at all. In the meantime, I intend to continue checking out this frequency range with hopes of hearing something eventually.

** ALBANIA [and non]. 9915 via ASCENSION, BBCWS news in English mentioning people killed in violent Tirana demonstrations, Jan 21 at 2202. How did R. Tirana report on this? Missed monitoring that day, but remaining Saturday chances before the Sunday day-off are: 1945-2000 7465, 11635 2100-2130 7530, 9895 0130-0145 6130 0245-0300 6130 0330-0400 6100 0430-0500 6100 Here`s VOA`s report on what is happening: http://www.voanews.com/english/news/International-Concern-Over-Deadly-Protests-in-Albania---114418539.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CHINA [and non]. 9380, Jan 22 at 1357, Firedrake with good signal; seems // the weaker FD in the mix on 6030; 9380 went off a few sex before 1400*. The jammee on 9380 must be Deutsche Welle, in Chinese, 100 kW, 71 degrees via Tajikistan at 13-14, the only thing scheduled here. There has been FD on 9380 before, in A-10, but I think against something else. Is ChiCom jamming of DW anything new? Check the other frequencies. Their entire Mandarin schedule per WRTH 2011 is: 1300-1330 12010-Singapore 1300-1400 6225-Kazakhstan, 9380-Tajikistan, 11945 & 13735-Sri Lanka 2300-2400 6090-Korea S, 9865-Singapore, 11830-Petropavlovsk, Russia (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA [and non]. 5745, DCJC noise about equal level with Harold Camping, Jan 22 at 0642. What WYFR gets for time-sharing a frequency with R. Martí (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** EGYPT. 6270, Jan 21 at 2212 open carrier, no doubt R. Cairo; 2214 timesignal audible, and then a trace of talk, i.e. the usual off-time pips introducing news circa the quarter-hour. At least we can imagine what they are broadcasting from long experience (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** EQUATORIAL GUINEA [and non]. 15190, poor signal Jan 21 at 2156, ``Tony Alámo`` audio cutting in and out as carrier also drops down and up. But some carrier always remains, presumably R. Inconfidência, whose call ZYE522 is typoed in the WRTH 2011 as ZYE622. Alamo is serving 175 years in Terre Haute federal prison for child sexual abuse, transporting girls across state lines for sex, but R. Africa tries its best to keep this monster on the air. From *2157, huge carrier from WHRI 15180 becomes a problem, apparently active Fridays only (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** INDIA. 9870, instead of predominant Indian popular music on the AIR Vividh Bharati Service, Sat Jan 22 at 1416, there is a talk in Hindi frequently mentioning English terms ``mobile service provider``, ``mobile number portability``, ``prepaid``, all of which are presumably impossible to express in pure Hindi. I just wonder how they write English in the script, transliterated to Hindi letters or not? At first assumed to be a commercial, but same topic still going at 1419. After 1430 a drama (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** OKLAHOMA. Until recently, Univisión had been visible on both ch 36 and 48 low-powers from OKC in analog, but lately only on 48. Now we know why. When tropo bumped up the signal from 48 Jan 22 at 1530 UT, I scanned the UHF channels in DTV, and found UNI barely decoding on 36, displayed as 36-1 KCHM-CA, so that one has finally flash-cut from NTSC to ATSC. According to W9WI.com listings, the old KCHM-CA had 12.53 kW ERP, while the new digital KCHM-CA (same call suffix) has 7.33 kW. But they are from slightly different transmitter sites. OLD: 35-24-52.40N 97-30-32.00W NEW: 35-24-53.80N 97-30-35.90W The hotlinx to maps from coordinates on W9WI.com are Not Found. But the FCC Google map link shows both on the south side of OKC. I wonder if they plan to keep 48 in analog as long as possible for the non-DTV OTA crowd, if any? It`s on the north side in Nichols Hills. While pointed toward this, also had a `bad` DTV signal on 38, and OETA Ponca City was up strong when aimed toward it. Listed as analog 38 in OKC is KOHC-CA, 50 kW with Azteca América, but I have never seen it; is it really on the air? I also looked for KUOK-35 Woodward, which is supposedly the home full-power station being relayed by 36 and 48 in OKC, but no signal from it, so still way underpowered, while its LP neighbor, KOMI-34 was decoding as 24-1 KOMI-SD, infomercial at 1544. Another remaining analog in OKC, KUOT-CA on 19 had sufficient tropo-enhanced signal, around 1540 UT, continuous religious audio, but mostly black screen with occasional flashes of video being transmitted! Hello? Daystar`s KOCM, OKC DTV on 46 was still on the edge of decoding or not (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** RUSSIA. 6075, Jan 22 at 1355 bits of music mixing with the motorboat from R. Rossii, Pet/Kam; late time-signal at 1400, and stayed on until 1401:17* mixing with Taiwan/ChiCom just starting. Still no sign of 8GAL on 6074 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** SOUTH CAROLLINA [non]. 9385, WWRB, Jan 22 at 1449, Brother Scare with his insurmountable ego advises us to wait for him, The Overcomer
