Calls and slogan at 1230, Mexi-tunes, several more ID's. Very good on my local sunrise-ish. 1330 LOUISIANA WWWL, New Orleans. 1210 January 8, 2012. ESPN Radio, network spots, local one for a New Orleans sports team at 1213. 1440 TENNESSEE WZYX, Cowan. 0018 January 4, 2012. Could I have hit the source of the Oldies tonight heard New Year's eve? Tune-in to two guys and one gal live talk, mostly about local school proposed taxation and things that almost makes me think it may have been local election coverage, out of the norm format. Then male maybe canned but all so clear, "...on 14-40 AM and 94.5 FM, WZYX." Per Wiki, 94.5 is a translator http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WZYX along with 94.5 which wasn?t mentioned, so it?s WZYX, Cowan, TN, listed in the NRC Logbook as 5000/66, Oldies format, and neither translator is referenced here. It?s just a big jumble on 1440 now, Mexi-tunes (maybe Winter Park?s WPRD) and that unidentified ESPN station semi-dominating (which I swear came out of the sports news at 0104 as "Power Radio ESPN Sports Radio" but I could be wrong. No ESPN 1440 listings with that slogan in the NRC Logbook. 6149.98 BRAZIL R?dio Record, S?o Paulo. Highlights of details, especially English songs appearing between otherwise very pop Portuguese songs as logged here chronologically in date/time order, to confirm there is in fact is no Radio Bayrak audible here. Usually, a female primary jock (sometimes a live man and maybe canned male ID's), the female is almost if not always the same one each night. Weak ChiCom time sounders near at 2300 on 6150.00, but no other stations audible: January 5, 2012 - 2228-2345*. 2324 female, into Lionel Ritchie "Say You, Say Me" 2328. Fragment of same song mis-queued 2345 with same female atop, abruptly off. January 6, 2012 - 2259-2335* same female jock. John Lennon's "Woman" at 2314. January 7, 2012 - 2336-2339* "Lean On Me" by Bill Withers just after tune-in. January 8, 2012 - 2246 (I was only briefly able to check this day). January 9, 2012 - 2307-2323* New Kids On the Block "I'll Be Loving You" then male and female patter, into unidentified English female vocal in English. January 10, 2012 - 2233-2352* very strong tonight, and finally with confirmed and multiple ID's. The first at 2301 by man, then a singing jingle ID at 2302. Same female jock, Portuguese pop vocals, male ID 2311 into the female jock, then James Ingram "In Your Eyes" at 2312, another male ID 2319 (these seem to be canned), female jock, 2328 male ID again, a couple more light pop vintage vocals in English later. 6155 INDIA All India Radio, Bengaluru. *0016:36 January 11, 2012. Carrier up with 1000 kc/s tone until 0013:14 AIR Interval signal, opening ID in presumed (listed) Urdu, then nice subcontinental vocals through 0055 tue-out. Very good. No trace of 9595 WRTVH-2012 listed parallel. Thanks D. Crawford tip. 6925(U) PIRATE (North America) Radio Junk. 0101-0149* January 11, 2012. Lots of odd .wav file repeats, much of the announcements in Qu?bec-French by a female (short blurbs) and Frenadian-centric music and production, frequent "Radio Junk on shortwave"; "You have been listening to Radio Junk"; and "Hi, this is Nixx (?) on Radio Junk, your favorite pirate" canned ID's by same female. Frequent quasi-Morse ID's atop programming. Obama 2011 holiday greetings spliced with other talk on a cycling .wav file. Abruptly off at 0149. A very big signal. Thanks D. Crawford tip while on online chat. 6925(AM) PIRATE (North America) *0200 January 11, 2012. Up with Dylan track. Real strong, then rapidly dropped to threshold, as if dinking with power and/or antenna? Didn't stick around to see if I could ID. ************************************************************** ************************************************************** Terry L Krueger Clearwater, Florida USA 27.55.83 N, 82.46.08 W Florida Low Power Radio Stations: http://sites.google.com/site/floridadxn/ ************************************************************** End of Hard-Core-DX Digest, Vol 109, Issue 11 *********************************************
