U.K./UAE Was also Somali via WOF same data on 11740 kHz in A-12 season. In WRTH spring 2012 .pdf supplement 11740 WOF under Radio Damal in Somali. Radio Damal, The Voice of the Somali People. WRTH 2013 p507: produced in the studios of KBC in Kenya. Financed through Peoples Republic China government funds...

Still wrong on Aoki list. 11970 1930-2130 48,52NE,53NW DHA 250 225 Somali UAE BAB but now changed to 11955 kHz, also from 11 Nov 2012: 11955 1930-2130 48E,48SW DHA 250 225 Somali UAE BAB 73 wb - Original Message - From: "Glenn Hauser" Sent: Monday, December 17, 2012 2:52 AM Subject: [dxld] unID 11615 1900 Arabic/Somali UNIDENTIFIED. Hi Glenn, I was listening to a broadcast in what I thought was Arabic with chanting from shortly after 1900 to 1929 sign off today [Dec 16] on 11615 kHz. HFCC shows this as a broadcast brokered by Babcock in Somali with an unidentified broadcaster. Any idea who the broadcaster was and whether it was Arabic as it sounded or Somali has listed in HFCC? (Steve Handler, IL, DX LISTENING DIGEST) Steve, I searched my e-mail and consequently DXLD and found nothing recently to explain this. I do see that EiBi has it in his list as an unknown station, 1830-1930 via Woofferton. Nothing in WRTH 2013 either under target broadcasts to Somalia, Ethiopia, or even Eritrea. On a hunch I also checked out the schedule for IBRA Radio (WRTH 2013, under Sweden). They do have an Arabic broadcast at 1900-1930 daily via Woofferton on 9535. Should check whether that is // (or moved). Something for further monitoring (Glenn Hauser, ibid.) _ 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.

[HCDX] DX Loggings -- 17 Dec -- Ralph Perry
BRAZIL – 9819.32, Radio Nove de Julho, Sao Paolo, this one noted with moderate signal tho het, best in ECSS-LSB, 12/16 at 2218, OM vocalist in PP with YL chorus and orch in background. Anmts by YL at 2221 in PP, “Estamos apresentando a musica de . . . “ And then, nice musical ID at , sung by YL chorus, simply “Radio Nove . . . de Julho!” Signal fading in better toward BOH. Tnx to tip from Prof. Ronda on this! (Perry, Illinois) BOLIVIA – 6134.82, Radio Santa Cruz, interesting programming noted on Sun morning 12/16. At 0910 playing very rustic CP folkloric mx but with all anmts in indigenous vernacular language. ID easily picked out at 0912 as simply “Radio Santa Cruz”. 0915 started what seemed a radionovela, but also in non-SS indigenous lang of E Bolivia, with a hysterical woman weeping and moaning and relating her sad story. Must have signed on at approx. *0900 as nothing on the channel at 0855 check. Great big, lusty signal just pounding in, reminiscent of high-powered international broadcasters on 49 meters, back in the day, like Deutsche Welle or Radio Nederland!

** CUBA. 9504 approx., Dec 17 at 1354, approx. center of spurblob from weak 9540 RHC transmitter again; could not find one to match at +36 kHz, i.e. 9576 between very strong CRI/Cuba relay 9570, and RA 9580 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** INDIA. 9425, Dec 17 at 1353, AIR ``banshee blob`` wanders across here from 9435 a minute earlier (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** JAPAN [non]. 11880, Dec 16 at 2128, NHK IS, I think I can barely still detect under RHC French, as both are about to start Portuguese at 2130. I keep expecting NHK to move its GUIANA FRENCH relay frequency, as Arnie`s incompetent frequency management choices have proven to be non-negotiable in several other instances. But it takes an agonizingly long time for some victims to react (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** KURDISTAN [non]. 11510, Dec 17 at 1415-1450+, Denge Kurdistan via presumed PRIDNESTROVYE, nice continuous concert of mostly vocal Kurdish music. Latest HFCC still claims this is 300 kW, 129 degrees from SMF = Simferopol, Ukraine, from BRB (ex-TDP), but NOT to be construed only as ``Belgian Radio`` as per a log in NZ DX Times on 7390. For 11510, Aoki goes with 100 kW, 100 degrees from Kishinev-Grigoriopol, MDA (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** MEXICO. 730, Dec 17 at 0631 UT, ``La Ke Buena`` with full FM & AM IDs on the half-hour, mentions 25 kW, Hidalgo del Parral, Chihuahua, time as 11:31, back to lively music. Not sure if the 25 kW referred to FM 107.1 or AM. But Cantú shows XHEHB on 107.1 with 25 kW; and on AM: 730 XEHB Ke buena + FM 107.1 Hidalgo del Parral, Chih. 50,000 1,000 and with their dominant signal, we strongly suspect a lot more than 1 kW at night. Yet new IRCA Mexican log shows only 1000/300 watts and schedule at 13-01 UT only, from former location San Francisco del Oro. What about WRTH 2013? 50/1 kW, H del P. Cantú shows zero radio stations in SF del Oro now (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** MEXICO. 1040, Dec 17 at 0602 UT, ``Chihuahua, Chihuahua`` mentioned in WHO null, so safe to assume it`s the usual per Cantú: 1040 XEHES Romántica + FM 94.1 Chihuahua, Chih. 5,000 250 The new IRCA Mexican Log 2012 has arrived, so I will be comparing Cantú and WRTH info with it. For XEHES, IRCA shows: 5000 250 Radiorama Siglo 21, 24h irreg, ROM format, CIMA net, // 94.1 FM (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** MEXICO. Channel A2, NTSC, Dec 17 at 0155 UT, Spanish signal fades in from south after observing 6-meter sporadic-E openings on map across east-central USA with MUF estimated of 74 MHz. Large net-7 bug in upper right, perhaps the easiest Mexican one to identify, just the number 7 with high contrast; and heavy ghosting at times makes it look like 77, i.e. two distinct propagation paths arriving out of phase. 0207 ads, 0208 IFE PSA; 0214 another fade-up in a suspense/horror film, still with 7 bug UR, and finally one more glimpse at 0230. There are five full-power Azteca 7s on channel 2, three of them generally southward, but the prime suspect is always XHTAU in Tampico (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** NORTH AMERICA. 6939.7-AM, Dec 16 at 2238 a pirate signal is here, 2240 ID as Radio Casablanca, e-mail; playing old WWII tunes at the same time as `Marion`s Attic` on WBCQ 7490, but no BBCCCI here. Bits sound like old-time radio, then song about the Maginot Line; 2245 ``Animal Crackers`` by Shirley Temple; 2248 ``Three Little Fishies``; 2250 flash from United Press: Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor; 2251 another Radio Casablanca ID, FDR`s ``day which will live in infamy`` address to Congress; 2259 ID and ``Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammunition``; 2304 ``Remember Pearl Harbor``; 2307 ID email as radiocasablan...@gmail.com and 2313 ``Bugle Boy``; 2316 ID & e-mail; 2318 ``I`ll Be Seeing You``; 2328 ID and e-mail again, dramatic bit; 2345 still on but at next check 2355 it`s off. Nothing about Casablanca or Morocco heard other than the name. Sufficient signal of S9+12, and making C# above middle C het with 6940 reference = 278 Hz, so about 6939.72 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** ROMANIA [and non]. 9810, Dec 17 at 1355, RRI closing German hour with IDs, IS, but heavy CCI, as CNR Chinese, 150 kW, 155 degrees from Nanning site is also here per HFCC; any problem in Europe? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTEING DIGEST) ** SOUTH AFRICA. 15480, Dec 16 until 2101* BaBcoCk music loop; more slipshod operation by SENTECH, as this had been the two-hour Arabic broadcast of AWR via Meyerton, 250 kW, 19 degrees, but per HFCC you would not know that BaBcoCk is involved (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 7490, Dec 16 at 2106, no signal from WBCQ, nor at 2127; 9330 is on as usual, but 15420 is a JBA carrier, maybe just WBCQ in a pause leaving its reduced carrier, as it`s OK in CUSB at 2127. Checking sked later, only on Sundays does 7490 start at 2200 instead of 2100. At 2233 recheck, it`s on with `Marion
