Hadn`t heard R. Brasil Central here in quite a while. No other significant ZY signals on 25m (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CANADA. RCI has reduced the length of its Portuguese and Spanish broadcasts, still with several repeats, and so it has with English. A few days ago I was listening to `The Link` around 2050 on 17735/15330/15235, when Ian Jones came back from vacation and mentioned that there is no longer a second hour of that program. On July 5, Andy Reid in Ontario found BBC instead of RCI on the 3 am hour of CBC Radio One. On July 7, Ricky Leong in Alberta still heard `The Link` on CBCR1 during the 2 am-local hour. And the 50% reduxion is confirmed: ``Well, Glenn, straight from the horse's mouth: http://www.rcinet.ca/english/program/the-link/home/ "The Link is an hour-long daily radio show aimed at connecting people to Canada and Canada to the world." So there you have it! Ricky`` RCI has put up all-new schedules effective June 27 at http://www.rcinet.ca/english/schedule/ IIRC, the second hour of `The Link` was even more for domestic consumption than the first and wasn`t on SW anyway since the 2-hour block on 31m in the mornings to NAm was dropped some months ago (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CHINA [and non]. Firedrake July 8, before 1300: 14700, fair at 1234 13920, fair at 1236 12980, fair-good at 1236 12270, fair-good at 1237 11500, poor at 1238 10300, poor at 1240 After 1300: 17705, at 1313 tentatively FD mixed in with AIR Chinese, CNR1 and BSKSA Arabic; after 1315 only BSKSA left 15545, very poor at 1317 14700, very good at 1317 13920, fair-good at 1317 13850, good at 1318, but heavy ACI from WWCR 13845 with Es boost 12025, 1319, JBA vs something talking 10300, poor at 1320 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA [non]. At various chex during the day on July 7, and maybe July 6, there was no jamming on 9965, and no sign of R. Rep?blica either, also July 8 at 1243. July 8 at 0544, 5955 was also free of both, audiblizing RN in Dutch via Sines, PORTUGAL. So is Rep?blica gone from this presumed ELCOR transmitter in Costa Rica? Or moved? Look for new jammed frequencies otherwise unexplained. The Cubans are not going to stop jamming a frequency unless they are positive the target is gone. However, earlier UT July 8, Scott Barbour in NH reported hearing R. Pio Doce, Bolivia at 0117 on 5952v, in absence of R. Rep?blica and jamming; in the NASWA list, Don Jensen in WI was hearing Bolivia too, but ``at 0108 a super big carrier came on 5950, then R. Rep?blica ID that totally blocked the Bolivian``, but clear again for Bolivia after 0117. RR on 5950, not 5954.2v?? New transmitter site trying to get going? 5950 is still on the WYFR schedule, but not until 0145, presumably warmup for RTI relay at 0200. Is RR still via Sackville on 9490 in the evening? That`s not in latest HFCC, but not sure it ever was. Not in EiBi either. Aoki lists it only as: ``9490 2300-2400 CAN Radio Republica Spa Sackville 34567``. But surely it was also on after 0000 UT when Tue-Sat would make sense (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** INDIA. 9870, July 8 at 1244, Indian pop music from AIR VBS, only poor, but haven`t heard it at listenable level for many months. Hope it will gradually make a seasonal comeback, close to transpolar from here (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** MEXICO. As often happens, after heavy Es openings for a few days, the sporadic-E layer apparently takes a breather to `recover`. I keep my analog TV on channel 2 much of the time anyway, usually aimed at Mexico for the snow. UT July 8 at 0152 I begin to see some signals on channel 2, mix of CCI roughly from the S. On channel 3, however, the peak is from the WSW with the now-signature almost-zero beat bars between the two BCN stations. Nothing ever comes in well enough to view; still some CCI on 2 as late as 0400. July 8 at 1607, a signal briefly appears on 2 with antenna S, tentatively Azteca Trece bug in UR. Rotating to WSW, 3 comes in with good signal typical of XHBC Mexicali, ads including for mattress, then out again; back briefly at 1625. Let`s hope it`s the start of another good opening, but rather anemic so far. At least there is some Es up to 62 MHz (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** SPAIN. 9775-9780-9785, July 8 at 0539, REE is back in DRM noise, after having been in AM when last checked July 5 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** TAIWAN [non]. 5950, July 8 at 0541 past 0600 and still at 0648 check, WYFR relay of RTI is only a strong open carrier, no modulation. Okeechobee now has no other reason to stay awake after 0500, so maybe they were depending on it running without supervision (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1572 monitoring: Thursday July 7 at 2100+ confirmed VG on WTWW 9479 until 2129 but WTWW-1 webcast still not funxioning. WRMI inaudible on 9955 tho no jamming either, but confirmed on webcast from 2100. WBCQ 7415 confirmed on webcast from 2132. WWRB confirmed at 0331 UT Friday July 8 on webcast and still on 5051, not 5050; but there is a lite het. I myself missed the new Friday 0500 airing on WRMI 9955, but at 0538 check R. Praga in Spanish still had considerable pulse jamming from the DCJC. Next WOR airings on WRMI: Friday 1430, Saturday 0800, 1500, 1730, Sunday 0800, 1530, 1730. On WTWW: UT Sunday 0400 on 5755. On WBCQ: UT Monday 0300v on 5110v-CUSB. On WRN via SiriusXM 120: Sat & Sun 1730, Sun 0830 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 12100, July 8 at 0552, happened to catch WTWW-3 in an ID break, which appear at odd times rather than hourtops, and we finally find out who is behind this all-Bible-all-the-time service: Bible Worldwide, in Bellvue CO. I checked the spelling and looked it up: guess what, it`s a tiny town of 400 right next to Laporte, quite a coincidence neighboring the client of WTWW-1. It`s a ``mammoth non-denominational ministry``; 0553 on to Psalm LXXI during English block. Good reception as usual even in the nightmiddle (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** VATICAN. 15595, July 8 at 0555, nice classical organ music filler which VR usually runs after the 0530 Mass, until 0600 IDs, into news in Italian, and I believe English was to follow (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ### ------------------------------ Message: 3 Date: Fri, 8 Jul 2011 11:38:52 -0700 (PDT) From: Stewart MacKenzie <wdx...@yahoo.com> To: Anker Peterson <anker.peter...@mail.dk>, BCL NEWS <bcln...@yahoogroups.com>, Duane Fischer <dfisc...@usol.com>, Hard Core DX <hard-core-dx@hard-core-dx.com>, Marie Lamb <mal...@cumbredx.net>, Maryann Kehoe <atl...@webtv.net>, Prime Time Shortwave <primetimeshortw...@yahoogroups.com>, SWL QTH <s...@mailman.qth.net> Cc: Adrian Peterson <adr...@awr.org>, Allen Graham <agra...@hcjb.org.ec> Subject: [HCDX] Shortwave Radio Logs from WDX6AA Message-ID: <1310150332.84825.yahoomai...@web30701.mail.mud.yahoo.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 ?>>> AUSTRALIA??
