Also some changes to the ITU country list to reflect the new status of the
islands of the former Netherlands Antilles (no South Sudan yet). Curacao and St
Maarten have gained an autonomous status, just like Aruba has had since
1985/86, while Bonaire, St Eustatius and Saba are now integral parts of the
Netherlands.

ATN - Netherlands Antilles - DELETED
BES - Netherlands Caribbean (Bonaire - St Eustatius - Saba)
CUW - Curacao
SXM - Sint Maarten (Dutch part of the island)
in addition to
MAF - St Martin (French part of the island)

** AUSTRALIA. 9560, July 21 at 1213, RA is back here instead of 9710; Nigel
Holmes of RA says the automation may have failed to make the switch yesterday
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake July 21; propagation quite poor. OSOB on 16m was Chile
17680:
16980, JBA at 1236
16100, JBA at 1236
15900, poor at 1233
14700, poor at 1230, seems to be mixing with algo, Sound of Hope?
13130, very poor at 1232
12980, fair with flutter at 1233
11500, fair at 1233
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. Big sporadic-E FM opening on July 20, UT; I usually report in chrono
order, but this time I am going by frequency first. Assume the language is
Spanish u.o.s. References are Emisoras de FM by Jim Thomas, 2010y; Cant?`s
online http://www.mexicoradiotv.com/frec_fm.htm presumably current, and FM
Atlas XXI of 2010y, which does not list Mexico by frequency but rather
inconveniently by location.
BTW, I would like to encourage other TV/FM DXers, especially when reporting
foreign catches, to include more detail like I do. Each log is a potential
learning experience about language, culture, geography, broadcasting, but if
details are just generic abbrs. crammed into one line, they make rather boring
reading. The most important thing to them may be whether it`s a new or re-log,
definite ID or not, station count number, but what about other readers?
88.1, at 1651 ad for Soriana department store, 1652 Michoac?n government PSA,
so it`s XHZN Zamora, Mich. again
88.5, at 1655, bit of Spanish pokes thru the ACI, ``88 punto 5``
90.5, at 1700, news with 6-note stingers between items, `Noticiero el Grupo`.
Thought it might be XEDA/Imagen, but does not match its webcast. 1703 some ID
and tones while Imagen web has YL with news.
90.5, at 1832, about some event on 21 de julio, political talk, $, RDS? Now
sounds like same on XEDA webcast. At 1855, re-fade-in with political discussion
about PAN y PRI; sounds like same thing in a few sex on XEDA Imagen webcast I
have left running. After this, MUF below FM
90.5, at 1847, Brazilian romantic song; 1848 sounds like ``Radio Ben``, but now
I think it was Radio UDEM, XHUDEM, Monterrey, then fadeout, 1854 back with more
Brazilian music. EFM puts it in San Pedro Garza Garc?a NL, and UdeM evidently
means Universidad de Monterrey
90.7, at 1704, `Noti-Sistema`, but same stingers as on 90.5; news of Michoac?n,
Jalisco, hurac?n. In fact sounds like same news items as heard a few minutes
earlier on 90.5, including something about diplomata Anthony Wayne.
``Noti-Sistema en Red Nacional``. 1706, full ID with street address but with
fades, ``Avenida --- 2289, Colonia ---, con 200,000 vatios, Se?al 90, XHOY, y
la Onda de la Alegr?a``. Cant? shows XHOY, Guadlajara, with 49.97 kW. So is the
200 kW the ERP? 1708 ``Se?al Noventa --- sin l?mites, hits, cl?sicos
favoritos``, DJ introducing ``Enola Gay`` song. 1736 instruxions for preparing
or eating chau-mein Tal-Pak(?), ``en Guadalajara, Se?al Noventa``, $tereo ID
with echo on right channel
91.5, at 1710, M&W with phone numbers, website, but too much CCI and fading to
copy details. Note that all Mexican stations give phone numbers as fast as they
can. With decent reception, I can understand fast Spanish quite well, but even
in English I would have trouble remembering them long enough to copy down.
Don`t they want everyone to get them? Or is my digit span failing? (I am not
rolling tape on all this DX: takes enough time to do the DX, compile the
reports, without also having to listen again and again!)
91.5, at 1717, TelMex ad, RDS icon flickers, tries and fails to display, as
usually the case in this unstable opening. Maybe same:
91.5, at 1738, M&W&M talk show about ropa, accesorios, cravatas, RDS displaying
fragments as it fades in and out, including
[underscores here indicate blank space on 8-character RDS display]:
DA_Y_TEN
_NA_TRES
_ZONA_3_
ZONA_H_- at 1740
At 1741, shoe color advice, ``Lo nuevo en 91.5``, seems it`s a program for
hombres titled ``Zona 3``. 1742 gobierno federal PSA and RDS:
MI_RCOL.
INEGI__
At 1743, ``F?bricas de Francia, Shopping Time, Guadalajara`` [as also heard on
97.9].
The 91.5 station in Gja., not just the program, is in fact called Zona 3,
XHGEO. What is the allusion; to gay men, maybe?! Who else would care about shoe
color? Hi
92.7, at 1711, Es signal with PSA ``del estado``. A lot of these federal or
state government PSAs are required on Mexican stations; finally a real one
overriding faux-Mexican KANR KS; at 1744 RDS: _CLASSIC There are about five
possibles in central Mexico per Cant?; EFM has only four 92.7s in the whole
country, none matching classic
93.1, at 1826, Spanish music, RDS? Does not lock in. Heard when 93.3 local cuts
off; 1827 M&W DJ, phones 749 11 93 y 94, ``Hits FM``, dinero electr?nico
mention. Closest match in EFM and Cant? is Stereo Hits, XHCTO in Torre?n, Coah.
Phone number matches for XHCTO
93.3, at 1745, Spanish music while K227AT Enid cuts off the air; also heard
other OK station ads from KKNG
93.5, at 1729, phone number, but then local intermittent 93.3 translator cuts
back on, and off and on; again at 1829 some Spanish
93.9, at 1728, YL in Spanish; 1729 two YLs discussing Mexican Air Force and
Army; 1731 mentions Villahermosa, but there is no Tabasco station on 93.9, so
dead lead. Guadalajara and several others here
95.3, at 1746, ``s?lo m?sica rom?ntica, Amor 95.3`` with YL DJs. In EFM we have:
XHSH Mex DF, La Nueva Amor, and
XHNB SLP SLP, Amor
so neither slogan is an exact match. Cant? has them both as just Amor
96.3, at 1719, ``en el centro de Guadalajara``; 1722 classical music; 1732 also
but fading; 1746 still classical; 1759 back-announce a flute sonata, by Marco
Antonio Rubio, locutor; fading as full YL ID comes at 1801, XEJB, AM, FM,
watts. Here`s the schedule along with AM 630:
http://www.sjrtv.jalisco.gob.mx/JaliscoRadio/programacion.html
EFM has XEJB on 96.3 from Sistema Jalisciense in Tlaquepaque, Jalisco, variety
format. FMA XXI shows it noncommercial with an mc format ? maybe that adds up
to variety in EFM terminology. Cant? lists as Jalisco Radio, in Guadalajara
itself. Note the 96.3 channel fits in with Guadalajara dial sequence 95.5-97.1
etc. I recall this station from sesquidecades ago with classical. Great music
may have been banned from 96.3 in Albuquerque and New York, but it lives in
Jalisco!
Too, XE- calls on FM are rare, indicating it is a very old station originating
on AM
96.5, at 1732, ``Estoy volviendo loco por tu amor`` song, VG in $; 1746 M&M
mention Zacatecas. (One must be careful, especially in ads: every town has
streets or something named for every other state). But in this case there is
XHZER, Est?reo ZER, in Zacatecas, Zac.
97.3 at 1720, ads for muebles, ``Shopping Time``
97.7, at 1721, ads, including for Plaza Sendero, in San Lu?s(?) (Potos??).
XHSNP, La Caliente is listed in SLP. Plaza Sendero is a national chain of
malls, including in SLP, but there is also a 97.7 and a Sendero in Saltillo,
Coah., etc. Still, XHSNP very likely
97.9, at 1726, F?brica de Francia, Guadalajara mentioned several times. Gja.
station is XETIA, F?rmula Mel?dica per Cant?
99.3, at 1748, ads in pesos for Suburbia, gran venta, Chevrolet. RDS icon
flickers but no display
99.5, at 1749, romantic music in Spanish; 1750 ``Romance 99.5``. Would be XHLS
Guadalajara, in EFM as ``Romance FM``; Cant? as ``Romance``
101.1 at 1724, ``Exa FM 101.1``, stereo, 12.24 TC, over OK stations; 1733 RDS:
EXA FM, ads, $, 1735 Superfarmacia Guadalajara. Is XHMA
101.1 is the highest DX frequency in this opening. I tune up to 108 a few
times, but almost everything above 100 is blocked by locals and/or overload
even if propagating.
Once [``wunce``] FM had faded out, I resumed TV monitoring:
1916 on 6, net-7 UR, talk show
1920 on 6, event ad in English, San Diego 6, CW, so XETV Tijuana, and of course
peaks from WSW; 5 and 3 Mexicali are also in; 1929 and 1938, XETV has [same?]
ads for Kaplan College with three local campi
1952 on 6, XETV still unusually steady
1952 on 3, XHTJB is atop XHBC CCI, with credit roll, then Once logo
2000 WSW signals fade out, still weak CCI on 2 from but SSW soon gone
(Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** RUSSIA. 5930, July 21 at 1223, R. Rossii with music, but transmitter
breaking up badly. Same music on much weaker // 5940 not breaking up. 5930 is
Petropavlovsk/Kam (same as winter frequency 6075), and 5940 is Magadan (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 6924.8 AM, July 21 at 0605 music just above the noise level, on
low side compared to 11925 carrier, presumed Brasil on the hi side; never any
announcements, and 0612 no longer heard, either off or outfaded. It so happens
that this frequency and another unID of mine a while ago on 6305 match the
frequencies just reported by Walt Salmaniw in BC for the pirate Radio True
North, which I think he previously thought to be coming from the Yukon. Well,
almost: he put it on 6924.66, July 11 at 0352. My 6305 was July 2 at 0540 as in
DXLD 11-27 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9370, WTJC even more out of whack, July 21 at 1340, distorted on
fundamental and scratchy spur field out to 9270 and 9425. Worst peaks around
9350 and 9390. Disrupting among others, WBCQ on 9330, FEBC on 9400 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1574 monitoring: first airing UT Thursday 0330 on WRMI
confirmed on webcast, just jamming on 9955; tnx a lot, Arnie! Further WRMI

7185.741 Myanma Radio noted July 20 at 12.10 UT, S=8 on SDR remote unit in
Australia. Light Asian singer music program. But little disturbed by DRM
digital like white noise outlet at S=7 level, peak at 7189.5 and bandwidth
around 7188 to 7192 kHz, but could be rather also a ham radio digital
operation.

Dutch-based KBC Radio to test on Burg 531 kHz
July 21st, 2011 - 16:49 UTC
by Andy Sennitt.
The website of Dutch-based KBC Radio says "KBC has received a test license for
531 kHz in Burg [Eastern] Germany. We keep you informed when we start testing.
We are also talking for a few options in other countries as well. The reason
that we are gonna test is to see if the signal is doing anything during the
nightly hours."
This site of course has a very interesting history, having been a key site
during the days of the GDR, but has been unused since 2008 following the
closure of Truck Radio. It has a 10kW transmitter which can also transmit in
DRM mode at 2.7 kW, and a 190 metre antenna mast.
