12100, USA, WTWW (tentative). June, 04-05 2353-0003 religious talks by

4111, Bolivia, R. Virgen de Remedios, Tupiza. June, 05 0004-0018 male in

** ANTARCTICA. 15476, LRA36 still missing, June 7 at tune-bys 1236, 1254, 1312
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake June 7:
16980, poor at 1238; fair at 1358
16100, fair at 1238; good at 1359
15970, fair-good at 1238; fair at 1359
14700, fair at 1245, some talk audible under, het; good at 1358
13920, very poor at 1358
13850, fair at 1236
13500, fair at 1248 vs CODAR; poor at 1358; none lower by 1400
10970, poor at 1249
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 12000, June 7 at 1250, RHC in Spanish weakly audible, along with
traces of pulse jamming. // much stronger 12040 which is well atop the Chinese
jamming for a change. Is it a spur from 12040 or second harmonic of 6000? Must
be the former, since also audible on 12080, 40 kHz on the other side. And at
1310, not only 12080 but also 12000 are still JBA after 6000 presumably closed
at 1300, and inaudible there tho would probably have faded into noise anyway by
now. Also 12040 has weakened vs CNR1 jamming. The Cuban jamming is leftover
from attacking VOA 12000 in the evening (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. 9526-, as always these days, VOI is nothing but a JBA carrier, so
I reluctantly fire up the computer to listen to the webcast via
http://www.voi.co.id since it`s Tuesday. June 7 at 1328 YL is presenting
`Focus`; 1330 Banjarmasin guy discusses elexions coming in 2014y. 1334 lost
contact with him, replaced by busy signal. Jak anchor vamps without explanation
or apology, but soon resumed, 1335 about a religious event at a mosque in Banj.
1337 into pre-recorded talk about this.
A Grand Mosque was built in 1981, accommodates 7,500 inside and 7,500 outside
(a mega-mosque?), described architecture of it, has become quite an attraxion.
Couldn`t copy its name, but Google says Sabilal Muhtadin and here it is:
http://beautifulmosques.com/?p=1210
Caption agrees about the total capacity but not the year built.
1346 interrupted again by busy signal (as customary outside USA, beeping more
than buzzing). Dead air, then back to Banj guy just in time to hear him say
bye-bye, but then cut to live chat with Jak guy. 1350 Banj guy says he is a
judge for Qur`an memorization competitions. 1354 closing songs from each
studio; they always discuss which one to play first, and Banj concedes to Jak
this time. Starts with harmonica, then joined by orchestra and vocalist. Other
song runs over; 1402 Voice of Indonesia news in English by YL. Presumably now
this is the web-only feed, as previously monitored last Tuesday, but time for
me to quit, and I soon find there is TV and FM DX from Mexico underway directly
off antennas (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. More sporadic E analog TV DX, but as always hard to identify
anything to a specific transmitter.
2, June 6 at 1725 UT fade-in with entertainment news in Spanish, ``desde Los
?ngeles`` but certainly not KNXT. 1829 another fade-in on 2 mentioning `A Quien
Corresponda``, show or segment title?
Es opening going strong again next morning as I tune in at 1409 UT. Lots of
co-channel QRM on most lower channels, with something occasionally dominating
on each.
2, June 7 at 1409 UT, talk show, overmodulated audio, CCI; 1415 discussion
about sex. This is peaking from SSE rather than S or SSW, so probably XHY-TV
M?rida, Yucat?n. Mentions offices in cities all over the country, but starts
with M?rida. Sponsored by http://www.bostonmedical.com.mx ``world leaders in
male sexual health``. Leave off the .mx and you find a glove supplier.
2, June 7 at 1423 UT, Azteca net-7 with INFO 7 news, headlines as ``En Breve .
. .``, lower right time bug as 9:23 and temp as 27 --- is that local somewhere
or at DF HQ? There are several of these, most likely Campeche XHCAM, or
Tampico, XHTAU.
5, June 7 at 1449, talk show; 1452 ad for something called LG.
6, June 7 at 1527, weight loss infomercial, before-and-after silhouettes of
women amazingly reduced; alternating phone numbers at bottom include 8311 8038
and 9151 5261.
5, June 7 at 1527 something about Los 5 Nacionales, CDT time bug
4, June 7 at 1530, toons from net-5
5, June 7 at 1537, promo for a show on canal 5 network
6, June 7 at 1537, CCI. When this reaches ch 6 you know FM is likely opening
too if not already.
88.1, June 7 at 1544, YL DJ mentioning ``Contacto Jalisco``, canned non-ID just
as ``88 punto 1``, also heard several times later, and with CCI from a second
88.1 station. At 1548, ``Los 40`` slogan, on 88.1, adstring, including for
Lavander?a 7-10, address but no city caught, then for Automotriz Valle de
Zamora, a Ford dealer. Back to 40 Principales = Top 40 slogan for nationwide
radio group. But the car dealer googles directly to the town of Zamora de
Hidalgo, Michoac?n, which is SE of Guadalajara about halfway to Morelia. So
it`s definitely 10 kW XHZN, per Cant?, and the slogan also matches. Evidently
it rimshoots into Guadalajara, or the big city is close enough to attract
people in from Zamora. No doubt same station I heard a few days ago also
concerning Guadalajara.
88.1, CCI to above, June 7 at 1555 UT, brief fade-up mentions something about
the Estado de Guanajuato, so quite likely to be 10 kW
XHRE, La Comadre + AM 920 in Celaya, Gto. as in Cant?.
5, June 7 at 1606 UT, YL talkshow from net-2 per UR bug, and CDT bug; then to
man-in-the street El Chico searching for somebody or something.
88.1, June 7 at 1610 UT, fade-in again now with PSA about the gobierno
municipal de Zamora`s activities, so XHZN again.
88.1, June 7 at 1619, fade-in with adstring including Pepsi for only 15 pesos,
in no-return bottles. May or may not be the third of three Mexicans on 88.1,
tantalizing at 1625, ``Est?s escuchando en 88.1 FM ---`` fade! Try again at
1633: this time, they complete the ID to Radio Red, and at 1638, live DJ with
This Day in History feature about Chief Seattle (and he tries two additional
ways to mispronounce it), and Alan Turing who died [in 1954], of ENIGMA and
Bletchley Park fame. DJ recommended we read more about him; then ``11:39, Radio
Red-FM, 88.1 FM``, back to song in English. This is XHRED, in the DF, 95+ kW.
92.9, June 7 at 1642, I looked for some higher frequencies in Spanish and found
only this briefly with music. Visible analog MUF started to fall down to ch. 4.
5, June 7 at 1712, back up to ch 5, with net-2 cooking demonstration by two
guys, steady video but audio below MUF; Televisa net-2 star bug in UR, with 60
to its right for their anniversary.
4, June 7 at 1728, video MUF is still up to hear weakly. Maybe more to come but
time for me to wrap up this report (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9875, June 7 at 0546, very strong carrier with tones on and off, no
doubt Greenville-B warming up to take over VOA French after 0600 on 9880,
already occupied by VOA French via Botswana under this (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 13730, June 7 at 0544, the same unique jamming sound we used to
hear before 0530 when R. Dabanga was on via UAE, but why here and now with RD
supposedly moved to 15550 and over at 0527 anyway? It`s a mixture of pulsing
tones and noise, occasional brief breaks to silence indicating the entire sound
is coming from a single audio source (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 13883, June 7 at 0548, open carrier. Could be ute or broadcaster
in this area, more likely ute (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 17870, June 7 at 1241 tune-in, today`s frequency for the mystery
1000 Hz tonetests, S8 to S9+10, and with SAH, still same at 1254, 1309, 1331.
The understation must be R. Cairo`s English as scheduled 1215-1330 to SE Asia,
never readable here, so that presumably rules out Egypt as source of tests. At
1352 now in clear, has improved to S9+12, only lite fading. Curious to hear if
and when this would switch to Balkan/Croatian music like other frequencies
previous days, I leave a receiver on 17870 all morning, but nothing but tone
continues past 1715, except for an open-carrier break at 1415 until 1430:40
when tone resumed; at 1521:30 there was a split-second break in the tone. I may
have missed some others but generally constant toning. Finally went off about
1725, never having switched to music (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 18041, June 7 at 0549, another open carrier, with some fading so
not internal. Probably utility (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###
