Bolivia, 6134.832, Radio Santa Cruz, 0913-0930, Steady music at tune in as
the signal
improves from a poor to a good. At 0918 as a tune finishes, a canned ID is
presented
and more music continues. (Chuck Bolland, April 7, 2011)
Peru, 6019.182, Radio Victoria, 0920-0930, Noted a male in Spanish language
religious
comments. The male was David Miranda of course. Signal was good and
judging from
the readout, Victoria has moved down a few Hertz from their previous
frequency. Signal
was good. (Chuck Bolland, April 7, 2011)
Bolivia, 4795.978, Radio Lipez, 0932-0945, Noted music at tune in until 0934
when a
male comments in Spanish. A little bit too noisy to catch details. Shortly
a female is
heard commenting with the male. Signal was poor. (Chuck Bolland, April 7,
2011)
Suriname, 4989.996, Radio Apintie, 0945-1000, At tune in heard a male in
Dutch

** ANTARCTICA. 15476, after appearing April 6 for the first time in almost 5
months, LRA36 gone again as eagerly sought 24 hours later, no signal, not even
a carrier detected April 7 at 1237, 1300, 1320, 1334, 1353, 1404, 1410, 1430.
Perhaps yesterday was just a test. No reply to my e-mail inquiry (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake April 7: Since I was generally tuning downward today, they
are in reverse order by frequency altho not strictly chronological:
16100, good at 1239
15900, good at 1239, off at 1300* along with most or all of the others
15430, fair at 1354; Aoki shows V. of Tibet via UAE at 1330-1400
14700, poor at 1242
13920, very good at 1328, not in previous hour; still at 1353-1400*
13850, good at 1243. Nothing scheduled here in HFCC, but Aoki shows
Sound of Hope from Taiwan at 20-17
13130, fair at 1244
12600, fair at 1245 --- all the others are // except this one
12240, always check this, but not on today
11500, fair at 1248, fair at 1330
10970, good at 1249, very good at 1331
10300, good at 1249; was clear at 1209 for SOH: see TAIWAN
8400, good at 1250, fair at 1354
17515, April 7 at 1323, CNR1 jamming vs algo, // 11990. Aoki shows
BBC Uzbek via Thailand at 1300-1330 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [and non]. 6050, RHC continues to blast HCJB in the evenings, not only
for English at 01-07, but already on the air in Spanish at 0058 April 7. No
telling how much earlier it came on.
Poor HCJB is stuck with this frequency, not only by Ecuadorian government
frequency assignments, but also having foolishly handed out thousands(?) of
fixed-tuned radios, expecting to have a captive audience, especially among
indigenous. Now HCJB is the captive of Arnie Coro, who refuses to move RHC. As
a good Communist, does he have an anti-Christian agenda?
7405, R. Mart?, VG with no jamming audible, April 7 around 0620, same as noted
April 1. Is the DentroCuban Jamming Command diminishing its `service`, or just
out of touch?
Checking RHC 49m frequencies before 1200: April 7 at 1145 on 6000 and 6150, not
heard on listed 6140, and 6095 is no longer in use; Venezuela relay in English
on 6060 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CYPRUS. 21565-21590, OTH radar pulses, presumed from here at 1357 April 7
and also past 1400. Kudos, they picked a 25-kHz range without any broadcast
stations at the moment, but still an unwelcome noise intrusion into an SWBC
band (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GERMANY [non]. 15595, April 7 at 1325, Russian tones off and on, poor
carrier. Nothing in Aoki, but HFCC shows DW, 250 kW, 110 degrees via
``Armavir``, a.k.a. ``Krasnodar``, RUSSIA at 1330-1500, i.e. in Dari, Pashto,
Urdu (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GREECE. 9420, April 7 at 0615, song in French, then Greek announcement, so
it really is VOG, diversifying? At this hour no co-channel, the 11-hour Iranian
collision having ended at 0530 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NIGERIA [non]. 21480, Hamada Radio International, April 7 at 1358 good open
carrier, 1400 drumming and opening in presumed Hausa; now scheduled M-F
1400-1430, 125 kW, 180 degrees from Wertachtal as an RMI service, but there was
no RMI opening in English by Jeff White, as used to occur. This transmission on
another frequency started B-10, but soon was dropped. WRMI website
http://www.wrmi.net/pb/wp_d12a1732/wp_d12a1732.html
still displays outdated B-10 schedule for clandestine clients, without sorting
them out, so here is a tentative HRI schedule extracted from A-11 info, all via
Nauen or Wertachtal, GERMANY:
0530-0600 M-F 9545 11970
1400-1430 M-F 21480
1930-2000 daily? 11865 11945
But which frequencies are alternates and which in use now? The 0530 broadcast
had been on two other frequencies in B-10.
Jeff White has just explained: ``Glenn: Usually they're not running the
announcement, but it is through us. The Hamada schedule has been changing at
least once a week with the elections, etc. and will probably keep changing for
the next few weeks`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. As I was flipping thru the DTV channels April 7 at 1437 UT, I
finally got something on 9-2: KWTV-DT 39 OKC has activated at last a second
channel with PSIP ID as News9 N (with a space), vs the main channel merely
News9 (even tho it`s mostly entertainment). It`s obviously not something just
thrown together, as full of grafix, commercials, traffic reports, news and
weather --- and now, coverage of the wildfires around OKC, which we suspect is
the reason for this activation on RF 39.2, carrying the news channel they had
been putting on Cox Cable in OKC for years (but not in Enid).
About time they put it on the air too, if they have nothing else to fill up a
subchannel with, but will it stick after the fires? We got twisters too! As
KWTV was dithering last year whether to keep RF 39 or 9, they duplicated
programming on 9-1, 9-2, and even 9-3, never any alternative.
So KWTV finally joins the big leagues, with major competitors KFOR, KOCO, KETA,
KOCB, KOKH all running an extra DTV channel.
BTW, KFOR is still running weather on 4-2, and Antenna TV
http://www.antennatv.tv/affiliates/
still says it`s ``coming in May`` on 4-3, so I guess KFOR will keep 4-2 as
weather, even tho with a hint of severe weather, the Big 3 all blow away
regular programming on their main channels (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** PAPUA NEW GUINEA [and non]. 3260-, April 7 at 1151 some music, presumed R.
Madang, one of the better NBC signals along with 3275, 3290, 3365, 3385; plus
Indos 3325, 3345. 3260 slightly on low side compared to 1260 signals. 1158
announcement, but back to music past 1201 as it is weakening to very poor
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SPAIN [non]. 11880, REE via COSTA RICA, Thursday April 7 at 1246 in
Castilian instead of Basque during this semihour, interview with writer,
flamenco guitar and singing breaks, much stronger than // 11815. Another
interruption in the Basque schedule, or possibly still the Basque service just
switching to Castilian for a bit with someone not fluent (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** TAIWAN. 10300, April 7 at 1209, Chinese talk, very poor but no Firedrake,
and not // CNR1 11990 et al., so presumed Sound of Hope once again suffered by
the ChiCom to be in the clear. Firedrake was on 10300 by 1249 check, plus many
others; see CHINA. BTW, Falun Gong`s Epoch Times reports that two men in
Vietnam have been arrested for transmitting SOH from their homes on SW, after
diplomatic pressure from China; WTFK for those?? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** TURKEY. 13760, April 7 at 1203 W&W talking about T?rkei in German which fits
nicely for listed VOT in German at 1130-1230, 500 kW, 310 degrees from Emirler.
OK here but was better on a good day in B-10 an hour later on 17755 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9330-CUSB, April 7 at 0616, WBCQ with gospel huxter, good signal.
Staying on late (how late? All night?) with GFRN/Radio 2:11 seems to be the
rule now rather than the exception (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGET)
** U S A. 7190, April 7 at 1143, the dulcet tones of Brother Scare are just
barely audible, but still there when fully attenuated, fading in and out, with
some QRhaM, and // 5890 synchronized, so spur from WWCR +++ plus WNQM, 1300 kHz
higher. There could be another one, 1300 kHz lower on 4590 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 13570, WINB still making sporadic appearances: not there before 1200
April 7, but at 1205 VG with gospel huxter in English. Gone again at 1329 check
and still silent at 1430. Not on 9265 either at these times (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1559 monitoring: first airing Thursday April 7 at 1500
on WRMI 9955, JBA but confirmed on webcast. Next ones are: Thu 2100, Fri 1430,
Sat 0800, 1400, 1730, Sun 0800, 1530, 1730.
On WWRB: UT Fri 0330 on 2390 and maybe also 5050 like last week. On WWCR: Fri
2030 on 15825, Sat 1600 on 12160, Sun 0630 on 3215. On IPAR/IRRS/NEXUS-IBA: Sat
1800 on 7290, 1566, 1368. See full updated schedule including more webcasts at
http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html
or access to years of audio including latest at
http://www.worldofradio.com/audiomid.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** VATICAN [non]. 13730, NF for VR relay via CANADA, ex-9865, April 7 at 1154
in Spanish, 1204 in English with news of Libya, Q`Daffy considering Obama his
`son` and endorsing him for 2012! What a generous and sneaky guy! No hard
feelings? Lite CCI from an understation, which HFCC reveals must be DW in
French, 250 kW, 110 degrees via PORTUGAL at 12-13 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX

** CUBA [and non]. While monitoring Kuwait, q.v. on 17550, I also check for RHC
on 17560, new frequency to Europe which has been colliding with VOA at
1930-2030. April 7 at 1950, RHC French is way on top, with VOA under via
Bonaire JBA, but soon becoming more audible. Around 2000 I notice that RHC has
gone to open carrier instead of Portuguese. I figure it`s another pregnant
pause as RHC tries to get its act together, but at next check 2019 the carrier
is off leaving VOA in the clear! Exhuberant DJ Mathieu LaVoie is conversing
with a caller.
Could it be that RHC has caught on that they have a problem with this
collision? I quickly search thru 17, 15, 13, 11 MHz bands for a replacement
frequency, but none found, yet. At 2042, 17560 is still vacant of both
stations, but at 2058 the RHC carrier is back on, as if intentionally about to
resume for Spanish, whose modulation does not kick in until 2103, typical
amateurish JIP of `Revista Iberoamericana de la Tarde`, VG signal and much
better than // 12040, 12020. So maybe in subsequent days we shall find French,
Portuguese and/or Arabic at 1930-2100 on a new clear RHC frequency. Or maybe it
just broke down today and will stick to 17560 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** EGYPT. R. Cairo is really fond of the out-of-band lower side of 9 MHz. April
7 at 0131 I am hearing it on 9315, 9305 and 9290.
9315 is open carrier, or possibly just barely modulated. Spanish via Abu Zabaal
is scheduled at 0045-0200, English 0200-0330.
9305 is the usual extremely distorted Arabic service, via Abis at 19-07. I
often hear it after 0500, 0600, but unlistenable.
9290 has some weak modulation at 0132. Scheduled as Spanish via Abu Zabaal to
SAm at 0045-0200.
But that`s not all. HFCC A-11 shows all these other low-9 frequencies at some
time during the day from ERU: 9250, 9280, 9295, 9310.
While hunting thru HFCC, let`s pull out all the R. Cairo English frequencies:
1215-1330 17870
1600-1800 12170 or 15345
1900-2030 11510 or 15270
2115-2245 5770 or 6270
2300-2430 6270
0200-0330 9315
I am assuming that where two frequencies are registered, only one will really
be in use, as usual for English. I`m surprised that nothing but 6270 is found
for 6270 at 2300 in the summer to WNAm; should be on much higher band, and
Cairo may have been among those stations scared out of the 6200-6300 range by
the Russians. Is the 2115 broadcast really on 5770, or 6270? (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GREECE. 9420, April 8 at 0129 with classical music, also // 7475 at 0142.
That`s because of a 4-day strike by journalists thru Monday. John Babbis
forwards this about it:
``NEWS BLACKOUT IN GREECE AS JOURNALISTS STRIKE
http://www.dw-world.de/dw/article/0,,14973098,00.html
Greek journalists began a four-day strike today in protest at the government's
austerity measures, leading to a nationwide news blackout. Television channels
aired pre-recorded material, radio stations played back-to-back music and
newspapers will not be published until Tuesday. Even online news sites shut
down.
The Athens journalists' union is demanding the rehiring of journalists recently
laid off at several newspapers and TV stations. Many unions have staged months
of strikes and demonstrations since the government unveiled austerity measures
to battle its budget deficit crisis.
The financial crisis gripping Greece has hit the media sector hard, leading to
the closure of several newspapers. Sources: AP/Deutsche Welle`` (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KUWAIT. 15540, R. Kuwait, April 7 at 1809 sounds like Christian preacherman
with American accent, so I figure WYFR or something must have taken over the
frequency --- but this fair signal with fading has no QRM, sounds much like RK
reception has been. Then British-accented YL mentions interest in Arab
civilization and culture, Islam.
So must be R. Kuwait`s opening feature really about Islam. By 1947, signal has
improved to good with western pop music, even rap, still past 2001, a sure sign
of Kuwait, pretty good reception today. Still rocking at 2044, but I missed the
news headlines around 2050 before 2100*.
Back at 2000, I looked for the RK Arabic service to C&W NAm opening on 17550,
but nothing; must have come on late as it`s there at next check 2017 with Arab
music; 2040 into Arabic talk, but signal is fading and weaker by 2100. On other
days it`s not been heard at all. So for a while we had a choice between Western
and Eastern music from the two frequencies of R. Kuwait toward North America
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** LIBYA. 17725, VOAf from the GJ, April 7 at 1402, poor with ID, drumming
(Glenn Hauser, OK,, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. Happened to catch a promo on KFOR-TV 27, OKC, April 7 that its
secondary station KAUT, RF 40 will be changing April 11 to ``Freedom 43 TV``,
``red, white and you``, evidently a super-patriotic politico-gospel huxter
format?
Not yet; looking at upcoming program listings on zap2it, I see the same mostly
syndicated and MyTV network programming as before, except `News Channel 4 at 9`
becomes `Freedom 43 News`.
BTW, I was pissed to find that when I brought up zap2it on the same browser I
had used earlier today to look at the Antenna TV program listings (reruns,
reruns, reruns), it had overwritten my cookie set up for local cable listings,
now going directly to Antenna TV. Grrrr.
This change has already been making media news. Here is one story:
``Rebranding as ?Freedom 43,? Oklahoma City?s KAUT Targets Conservative Viewers
=== By Andrew Gauthier on March 25, 2011 5:37 PM
http://www.mediabistro.com/tvspy/rebranding-as-freedom-43-oklahoma-citys-kaut-targets-conservative-viewers_b8111
Oklahoma City?s KAUT is undergoing an aggressive rebranding effort to appeal to
the more than 50,000 active and reserve military personnel in Oklahoma. Next
month, KAUT (channel 43), a MyNetworkTV-affiliate which airs a two-hour morning
newscast in addition to a half-hour nightly newscast at 9 p.m., will relaunch
as "Freedom 43."
"For the first [time?], a TV station is aiming its news focus not at a
particular demographic, age group, or gender," boasts Jim Boyer, KAUT?s
president and general manager, "but at an audience bound by social connections
and shared values."
"Freedom 43 TV is for all Oklahomans who believe in faith, freedom, and
patriotism," Boyer said, in announcing the brand makeover.
KAUT?s new identity appears to be in line with that of Fox News, with
programming based on a specific worldview and meant to draw a conservative
audience.
"We usually focus on covering geographic areas or news events of the day," says
Mary Ann Eckstein, KAUT?s news director and senior vice president. "While we
will continue to do that, we are also going to tap into the culture and beliefs
of our audience with things like local commentary and new franchise reports
that appeal to our patriotic and conservative viewers."
Anchoring Freedom 43?s revamped 9 p.m. newscast will be Bobbie Miller. In an
interesting twist, meteorologist Mike Morgan?s weather updates will include
forecasts for the places abroad where many Oklahomans are stationed.
KAUT is owned by Local TV, which also owns Oklahoma City?s NBC-affiliate KFOR.
Freedom 43 officially launches on April 11th.``

** U S A. 13845, WWCR, April 7 at 1406 unlike a few minutes earlier, surged to
VG signal during cross-breed holsters ad (just what I need!! Or was it
Holsteins?), in sudden sporadic-E enhancement on HF, but not reaching their
next frequency, 15825, still weak. Anyway, a hopeful sign for the oncoming
spring/summer Es season into VHF.
I figured 13845 would fade down to usual poor level, but it did not: still
inbooming while 15825 was not, at further chex 1812, 2045. Could normal
propagation have improved to the point that Es is not necessary to get 13 MHz
in here at only one megameter skip distance? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING

** U S A. 17820, VOA Portuguese to Africa is now here for A-11, ex-17740, VG
signal April 7 at 1813 except the announceress is speaking with a pronounced
Brazilian accent, a country VOA abandoned years ago, something about debating
technical problems in Rio. It`s 94 degrees from Greenville, daily at 1700-1800,
extended weekdays to 1830. Is it also a de-facto Brazilian service now, altho
unaptly timed?
Wondering what other usage of Greenville remains, I check HFCC A-11: 17820 is
the highest and only 16mb frequency on the current schedule.
On 19m, I hit a strange entry, same 94 heading to Africa, but in English on
28-29 March only, at 2330-2430 on 15210. Since it`s split into two different
segments, both dated 28-29 March, not clear if it was really on for two days or
just one. What for? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
