** AUSTRALIA. Re: [WOR] Australian Bushfires, Unique Radio

Hi Glenn, Thank you for your concern. Myself and my family are safe at
present as the fires are not very close to where we are on the
southern outskirts of Sydney. However, as we live in what is called
the ?ember zone?, close to a national park, we are being vigilant and
have been since before Christmas. Concerns are for those affected by
the catastrophic conditions that are due today (Saturday 4 Jan) in
parts of NSW and Victoria and numerous other fires affecting others
elsewhere. 41 degrees Celsius (106 degrees Fahrenheit) expected here
today, with high speed winds due this evening.

Judging by the NSW Rural Fire Service website, Unique Radio is not
located close to fires at present. -- Regards, (BRIAN POWELL VK2FBAJ,
Sydney, Australia, WOR iog)

** CHINA. 12360, Jan 4 at 0253, surprise bigsig S9+20 in Chinese.
Really stands out as only signal above 11856.4 Brasil, and on 25mb
nothing but two Brazilians and Cuba. Pays to perform full
way-out-of-band scans. I`ve checked thoroly all the way from 10 to 15
MHz, and nothing but this. Is on the Aoki/NDXC list as a jammed Sound
of Hope frequency, presumably with CNR1. Already off at 0257 recheck.
Wish we could know what transmitter site achieve this (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** COLOMBIA. 2940+, Jan 4 at 0232, no trace of HJNT, Radio Huellas,
Cali, whose off-frequency second harmonic used to be obvious. I`ve
been alert for it on frequent bandscans. They must have fixed it or be
off the air from 1470 too. Last reported 30 Aug 2019 by Brett Saylor,
PA on 2940.11. Per WRTH 2020, website is radiohuellascali.com and that
linx to sked:
https://www.sistemahuellasinternacional.com/show-schedule/
but it`s rather strange, partly in English and Latin! I think they
have not fleshed it out completely; WRTH says 1100-0500 UT, but they
have shows starting at midnight = 0500, can`t tell if run all night or
not. Had been Colombia`s only [almost] SW station. 

Say, what about that new ``ethnic`` evangelical SW, supposed to start
up last month/year in eastern Colombia? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5025, Jan 4 at 0235, Radio Rebelde is suptorted, maybe in
silly baseball game? I think there is crowd noise. Something`s always
wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EAST TURKISTAN. 7330, Jan 4 at 0245, W in Chinese, reading S9 but
weak with flutter. Not a time I would expect to hear China, but
probably from the west arriving from the east rather than vice versa,
or close to polar where it`s mostly darky. Yes: Aoki/NDXC shows this
hour is CRI via Kashgar, land of Uighur brainwashing by the ChiCom.
Cuts off at 0300 after two pips of a timesignal (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6950-AM, Jan 4 at 0238, S9 signal but JBM with music
and not // 1390 KCRC ESPN X 5. Also noted an hour earlier with even
less signal, only sign of a pirate. Other logs as unID:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,62016.0.html
Off by recheck 0302 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. Texas Radio Shortwave tells me: ``TRSW will
broadcast volume 1 of Cap'n's favorite rock songs from the '60s and
'70s sometime around 0130 UTC on Sunday, January 5. (That's Saturday
night in Oklahoma.) The frequency will be in the range 4060 to 4085
kHz if propagation is good 

[HCDX] Fw: [WOR] Long wave 171 KHz

[Wolfgang Bueschel]

LW & MW Signals not so strong from RTA on the Christmas and Year End days -
as observed on remote stations around the Mediterranean, Sicily, Riviera,
Rome, Milan and Greece.

Compared to refurbishing work era some months ago
of the technicians of former TransRadio Berlin,
now Thomcast, Thurgi Switzerland / exAmpegon
Ludwigshafen-Schifferstadt Germany.

- RTA Signals of LW 252 and Algiers 891 kHz are now on decreased power of
approx.
h a l f   the nominal power figurs.
also MW 531 kHz signal from Algeria
isn't so strong compared to previous years.
They keep to save electricity in 2019.  73 wb  df5sx

Subject: Re: [WOR] Long wave 171 KHz
Congratulations for this big DX catch!!!
Yes, I also think that 252 is Algeria and on 171 kHz the Medi 1 station.
Medi 1 (it also uses the longer form of its name: Radio mediterranee
Internationale) can be either in French or in Arabic, it uses both language
in different time segments of the broadcast. Unfortunatelly it is not on
shortwave anymore - I have no idea why and what happened with the Nador
shortwave transmitter on 9575 kHz.

Wow I can hear a weak signal on 198 KHz but can’t make out anything
intelligible. Much louder beacon DIW is dominating on this frequency. The
signal on 252 KHz is much stronger, though not as strong as 171 kHz. I
assume what I am hearing on 252 kHz is Radio Algeria instead of RTE-1.
Algeria power is shown to be 750 kilowatts while RTE-1 is only 100
kilowatts. Hearing what sounds to be some kind of middle eastern music on
252 kHz. Really unbelievable I am receiving these from my location in south
central Kentucky.

Also check 198 (good here under semi-local NDB) and 252 (absolutely huge).

Currently I am listening to a nice signal on 171 kHz long wave. Is it
possible this is Medi Radio in Morocco?  Very hard for me to believe but
listening to two females in French with what sounds like Mediterranean or
North African music. Steady signal SIO is 443. Using a Realistic DX-400
and
750 foot long wire unterminated to the northwest.
