** BANGLADESH [and non]. 15520, Aug 8 at 1558, very weak signal with bits of
modulation, presumably Bangladesh Betar, Dhaka, testing its brand-new
transmitter toward Europe at 12-20 UT today, as tipped by Swopan Chakroborty?
Instead of 7250 tested yesterday. 15520 is an old frequency of theirs, inactive
for many years.
In the meantime, other stations have been using 15520, currently registered in
this time period, first the other ``DHA`` = Dhabbaya, UAE site with YFR at
14-16, the second hour in English; Turkey in English at 1630-1730, Egypt in
Fulfulde at 1845-20, so before 1400, 1600-1630, and 1730-1845 should be the
best windows.
Recheck at 1608, however, what little signal I had is gone, so suspect it was
really YFR/UAE; is BB really still on? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake Aug 8, after 1230:
16100, very poor at 1234; none in the 17s
12230, good at 1240 going from open carrier (maybe just a pause) to FD; none in
the 13s, 14s, 15s
After 1300:
14700, very good at 1317
15560, fair at 1317, het on hi side
16100, fair at 1321; none in the 13s, 12s
17450, JBA at 1324
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 11680, Aug 7 at 2358, RHC music-only, no announcement until 0000,
stronger here than on // 11840, which Grayson Watson in Dallas has been
monitoring, enjoying the music from 2330, but what program is it? RHC website
Spanish program schedule skips the 23-24 hour entirely! Maybe it`s just
filler/buffer because in the B-seasons, the 21-23 magazine, Revista
Iberoamericana, shifts to 22-24.
Since an evening frequency announcement is airing at 0000 Aug 8, I copy it to
see what errors this one contain. 17705, 15230, 11760 11840, 11680, 9810, and
at 02-06 5040. Well, 5040 closes at 0500 like all the other Spanish frequencies
(except when they forget and overrun). I check all those frequencies and find
RHC normal, except:
9810, August 8 from 0001, open carrier. I leave a receiver on this frequency
with volume turned up to see when they get around to modulating. Never! Still
silence at 0006, 0048, 0103, 0130 and beyond. Not paying much attention after
0300, but at 0449 yes, still OC, and at 0500 it has been turned off as
scheduled. 9810 supposedly starts at 2100 so there you have 8 hours worth of
250 kW burned for nothing (the minuscule amount of juice my receiver consumed
monitoring it was insignificant by comparison, and well worth it).
What happens tonight Aug 8 at 0500 transition from Spanish to English? At 0501,
both 6010 and 6125 are missing. By 0511 recheck, 6010 is on, and 6125 is open
carrier; at 0515, English modulation finally joined in progress, but who needs
it anyway, with 6010, 6050 and 6060?
Next morning, there are not only dead air in Spanish, but numerous distorted
modulation problems --- wiggle those patchcords!!
11860 at 1218, modulation very suppressed and distorted
11760 at 1218, is even worse
11690 at 1218, is not so bad, but still affected this way
9550 at 1223, also needs a better connexion
9540 at 1223, from the other site, is OK, but weaker as usual
9850 at 1228, inherits the open carrier/dead air of yesterday; maybe traces of
distorted modulation, almost totally suppressed
6150 at 1231, some modulation, but too much CCI from Asia to evaluate
15230 at 1232, modulation OK, on usual weaker signal
17580 at 1233, undermodulated but not distorted
17730 at 1233, undermodulated with some distortion
11860 at 1313, modulation is finally almost normal, as well as 11760, 11690,
13780
15340 at 1320, mod OK, but heavy HCJB Australia CCI as usual lately
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [and non]. 9490, Aug 8 at 0140, R. Rep?blica via Guiana French is still
strong but weakened a little close to the end of its 2-hour transmission,
allowing Cuban noise jamming to be detectable underneath. I imagine it is just
as ineffective Dentro-Cuba, except in near proximity to the jamming
transmitters. Hey Arnie, how many are they and where are they located? Likely
near population centers, as the Caribbean Island Nation is too small to employ
skywave jamming against itself, especially on the higher bands; or do they use
NVIS for shorter skip zones? But that`s not useful on the higher bands either
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** EGYPT. 15610, Aug 8 at 0509, ME music, undermodulated, 0510 mentions Qahira.
So tonite unlike August 2 log, R. Cairo managed to stay on the air past 0405
for the 04-06 Swahili broadcast, 250 kW, 170 degrees from Abu Zabaal (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KUWAIT. 15540, Aug 7 at 1930, R. Kuwait in English, YL with a recipe for
Ramadan, said was a joint produxion with R. Bahrain. Lasted only two
sesquiminutes, back to rock music at 1933 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** LITHUANIA. I belatedly in early August sent a QSL request to RMRC for the
June 9 EDXC special broadcast on 11900, and an e-QSL in PDF was received in a
few days on August 7 from Michael Haun, Treasurer RMRC, to be added shortly to
my gallery via
http://www.worldofradio.com/QSL.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. An unusual mix of propagation modes, UT August 8:
Around 0230 UT on ch 2 with antenna southward, I see occasional split-second
flashes of NTSC video, usually not locking in. Could be Perseids, except really
too quick for meteor scatter. Instead I think it is lightning scatter, since
there are big storms south of here in central Oklahoma, far enough away not to
be an antenna threat here --- but there are no ch 2 NTSC transmitters anywhere
around to be propagated that way. Instead, since there is also a fitful minor
sporadic E opening from Mexico, my theory is that what I am seeing is Es from
Mexico coming down somewhat south of me, and then sparked on a bit further by
LS!
Later on I am getting brief fade-ins of direct Spanish Es, only ch 2:
0250, that comedy show with childish adults in funny hats, slapstick like 3
Stooges; then slide says LA HORA - algo. One day I will research what this show
is, unless someone knows and infills me.
0309, another fade-in of algo, soon gone [algo is short for something]
0352, burst of about a second with Spanish laughter. This is MS. At another
time I did not note, I heard some English, suspected XHRIO
0407, fade-in with Olympic docu about Nadia, also with CCI; Es, or
MS-influenced Es? Lasted less than a minute
0443 some Spanish audio fades in, but little video. This is unusual, as audio
normally comes second, riding in above the video carriers. There may have been
more, but it`s time for me to call it a night.
1538 on 2, have been monitoring ch 2 for a bihour, and now MS shows something
for a couple of seconds; at 1542 a longer opening, almost a minute, in Spanish
with ads, CCI; overlapping meteor bursts or fitful Es, perhaps caused by the
MS.
1549 more weak CCI on 2. 6m Es maps are showing several contact paths across
central USA.
1558, definitely Es opening building with algo on 4, and Spanish variety show,
hoy? past 1600 on 2, CCI.
1612 on 4, Olympic volleyball in Spanish --- or is it men`s net handball,
whatever that is called, as live on NBC now. Satellite and/or digital delays
make it impossible to match video even if //. Opening continues weakly on 2 as
I wrap this report at 1638 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. Aug 8 at 1336 UT, since analog signal from KOCY-48 OKC is somewhat
tropo-enhanced showing lucha-libre goons on Estrella TV, I look for other
signals. Still no sign of KOHC-CD 45 before official Mundo Fox start Aug 13,
just KSNW Wichita coming in off the back.
43 has a `bad` DTV signal of some sort. Seems to peak to SW, rather than N/NNE,
so suspect an Oklahoman rather than Kansan. There are translators in Lawton,
Seiling, Elk City and Altus. Lawton has 5+ times the power of any of the
others, 2.6 kW, but Seiling is closest. From 1336, holds up past 1500 but never
decodes (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SLOVAKIA [non]. 9955, Aug 8 at 0050, music, then R. Slovakia International
ID in English, no jamming as Cuba suffers it to be free!
Even RSI does not acknowledge the WRMI relay which is the only way they survive
as a SW station. Under How to Listen at
http://www.rozhlas.sk/radio-international-en
you have a choice of: internet or satellite
However, if you search the site on WRMI, you get its website as a ``partner``
link along with WRN`s. Searching on 9955 gets one misleading hit titled
``cable``:
http://www.rozhlas.sk/radio-international-es/como-escucharnos-cable
which adds outdated and Spanish-only info:
``Les recordamos a todos los que nos esuchan que a pesar del anunciado cierre
de las ondas cortas, los oyentes de Am?rica Latina y el Caribe, durante la
temporada de invierno 2011/2012 pueden sintonizarnos en las ondas de Radio
Miami Internacional, en la frecuencia de 9955 kHz, en los 31 metros, entre:
las 05:30 y las 06:00 ET (El tiempo del este, UTC-5) Nota: todos los d?as
las 09:30 y las 10:00 ET (El tiempo del este, UTC-5) Nota: Solamente lunes,
mi?rcoles, jueves y viernes
las 10:30 y las 11:00 ET (El tiempo del este, UTC-5) Nota: todos los d?as``
[pm, they meant!]
Latest WRMI program grid dated July 5 shows RSI in Spanish is really:
0930-1000 Mon-Sat
1230-1300 daily
0230-0300 daily
And in English:
0030-0100 Tue-Sat
Rechecked 9955 an hour later at 0141, and now there is wall-of-noise jamming
during scheduled ``Bible Commentary``, and no, there is nothing else even in
Spanish on WRMI at 01-02, as the incompetent DentroCuban Jamming Command
marches on (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SUDAN [non]. 15400, Aug 8 at 0450, R. Dabanga is back with usual good signal
via MADAGASCAR after having been missing last night.
Tuned to 13765 at 0453 a bit too late, only hearing one syllable of something
before cut to dead air (except for a little buzzing-flies noise out of the
malfunxioning transmitter); suspect another mis-relay of Dabanga prior to
Vatican, whose IS started at 0457 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TAIWAN [non]. 7570, Aug 8 at 0450, after at least two nights of apologetic
missing programming, RTI is back to normal via WYFR and in correct language
too! YL Spanish talk about exports (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TUNISIA. 17735, Aug 8 at 0506, IWT with nice Arabic song, in fact the SSOB
and better than // 7275, much better than // 12005 --- but I know it will be
cut off rudely and abruptly by timer, as modulation on 17735 stops at 0507:50,
and carrier cut at 0508. Only RFA Saipan 17855 had rivalled it on 16m. Then
12005 is also gone (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. 9820, August 8 at 0140, VOA ending Spe-cial Eng-lish news,
into health re-port; with C5 het from always off-frequency R. Nove de Julho,
Brasil, i.e. approx. 523 Hz, but let`s just call it 9819.5. Seems the IBB
frequency manager is oblivious of such problems, since Brasil refuses to
participate in HFCC; therefore its numerous SW stations sharing the ISWBC bands
do not exist. Current lineup for UT Tue-Sat Special English at 0130-0200 via
Greenville-B is only: 184 degrees on 7465, 164 degrees toward Brasil! on 9820
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. Received a reply from FBN just after dispatching my last report,
responding to this inquiry:
Hello, WTJC, Your shortwave signal has been off the air for several days, and I
no longer see any mention of WTJC or SW on your website.
Have you closed down WTJC permanently? Regards, Glenn Hauser, World of Radio
(to FBN, Aug 7 via DXLD)
Thank you for writing. Yes, WTJC is officially off the air since August 2nd. In
Christ's service, Mrs. Robinson (FBN reply, 1722 UT Aug 7, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
So another station quits shortwave for good. Their other SW station, WBOH,
5920v, was last heard on October 2, 2009; by Oct. 22 we were convinced it was
off. Adrian Peterson reported it was ``removed from service`` on Oct 31, 2009
(Glenn Hauser, August 7, 2012, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 11776 & 11784, the carrier/hets heard in the mornings, in case
they are parasitic from an unknown 11780 transmitter halfway between, like RNA
Brazil, I check in the evening when 11780 is inbooming, August 8 at 0143: no
trace of them.
Aug 8 at 1219, first check this morning, nothing on 11776 or 11784. But at next
check 1312, there they are again. Are they coming from something on 11780, if
not Brasil? I can only detect an even weaker carrier there, so seems unlikely.
11734, furthermore, at 1242 here is another 1-kHz het! Against VOK in pompous
Korean on 11735; still audible at 1311 when VOK has switched to Chinese //
11710 underneath English in double audio feed.
11751.5, the other mystery carrier/het vs Cuba 11750 is again here at 1312 Aug
8 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 13832 approx., Aug 8 at 1238, huge ute noise blob; can detect a
very weak AM carrier under it at 13830; blob still there at 1316. Broadcast
victim at 11-14 would be IBB Tibetan via Tajikistan, but I doubt this is
jamming, it`s so strong here. If it keep up, will also bother WEWN at 17-24;
13830 also registered for YFR via MBR Nauen at 15-16; and RMI something else
via MBR Wertachtal, Issoudun on limited schedules, and optimistically by the as
yet incomplete Madagascar World Voice at 14-15 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING

Bangladesh Betar - new transmitter built up on 7250 kHz, test transmissions
of foreign service. Quite good reception this evening from Bangladesh Betar
external service, resumed on 7250 kHz with a new transmitter.
Heard here from tune-in at 1630 UT when it was carrying Bengali until s/off
1730 UT. After a 15 minute pause, the English service commenced at 1745 UT
with ID, programme preview and news - currently in progress. English to
Europe is scheduled to continue until 1900 UT. Announced as "Bangladesh
Betar overseas service". Great to hear this back on SW, it must be at least
3 years since the old 7250 kHz transmitter failed.
(Dave Kenny-UK, BrDXC-UK Aug 7)
7250 Dhaka audio quality IS NOT CLEAN.
At 1414 UT Aug 7th, local Asian subcontinent lady singer performed. Around
1405 UT, seemingly news reading. But at 1340 to 1347 UT close-down heard
1020 Hertz test tone continously. BCasting pause after 1347 UT, switched OFF
totally. From 1400 UT onwards heard accompanied by a 140 to 160 Hertz buzz
HUM tone also, also heard during pauses when music stopped and control level
is high, at 1418 UT. !
[later] Re 7250 kHz co-channel, before Vatican Radio Rosario starts at 1840
UT, heard both Radio Bangladesh AHEAD with ID at 1818 UT on even 7250 kHz,
here on S=9+25dB level,
and PROBABLY AIR Malayalam from Goa Panaji til 1830 UT on
o d d 7249.979 kHz.
(wb, wwdxc BC-DX TopNews Aug 7)
Bangladesh Betar - 7250 kHz.
Meanwhile, BB has kept 7250 in the HFCC registration books; note the nominal
azimuth changes:
7250 1200 1300 49 DKA 250 140 BGD NBA
7250 1300 1400 42 DKA 250 320 BGD NBA

but that has not kept other stations from using it, some of which may now
want to reconsider, disregarding those in the 20-12 UT period: Goa, India to
Iran, and as already noted worse, China with an hour in Nepali from Xi'an,
and worst of all, Vatican to Europe when BB is aiming at Europe too;

A few more logs from the Baltic shore, with Perseus SDR and DX-10 active
antenna out in the garden.
BANGLADESH: Bangladesh Betar test transmission, 8 Aug 2012, 2010 UTC, 15520
(55444). Empty carrier with a big hum stretching from 15510 to 15530. Around
2014, an apparently additional signal came on and was switched off again (same
spectral range as the hum, but more homogeneously filled; looked like DRM, but
DREAM didn't detect any DRM). When checking again at 2025, subcontinental
music, slightly overmodulated, ID at 2030. In silent periods between songs, the
big hum returned into the audio feed. Some kind of "carrier" accompanied the
music at +/- 4.5 kHz which was beyond the modulation range, so it could be
filtered out easily. Listened to the music until 2045. At 2100 and 2110 still
on, but silent carrier with the big hum. At 2136 and 2152 still empty carrier
without the hum; still same signal strength.

BRAZIL: Radio Nacional da Amazonia in Portuguese, 8 Aug 2012, 2357 UTC, 6180
(55444) with football. A minute later CRI signed on and RNA went to 52442, nice
ID heard under the English chat from Beijing.
CANADA: Trenton Volmet in English, 8 Aug 2012, 2024 UTC, 15034 USB (25422),
with ID.
CHINA: PBS Qinghai in Chinese, 8 Aug 2012, 2218 UTC, 6145 (23322). Interview
and monologue in what didn't sound like Mandarin (not as tonal). At 2230 switch
to CNR-like format with male+female presenter, sounded more like Mandarin now.
FRENCH GUIANA: Disco Palace in DRM, 8 Aug 2012, 2048, 17875 (S=2). The DREAM
software could decode the ID A06021 and the description "English, Pop music".
But no audio decoded at all, at 4-6 dB.
GERMANY: Radio 6150, 8 Aug 2012, 2349 UTC, 6070 kHz (35333) with ID loop in
German and English, asking me to stay tuned to be there when the station's
re-launch comes in August.
INTRUDER: UNID Teletype signal with S=3 centered on 5938 kHz, 8 Aug 2012, 2342
UTC.
KUWAIT: Radio Kuwait in English, 8 Aug 2012, 2057 UTC, 15540 (55444). Pop
music, frequency announcement (correct), national anthem, into Arabic programme
at 2100 but sudden c/d after a few seconds.
MALAYSIA: Sarawak FM, 8 Aug 2012, 2334 UTC, 9835 (35322) with pop music.
MYANMAR: Myanma Radio in tent. Burmese, 8 Aug 2012, 2251 UTC, 5985.8 (35322).
First empty carrier with 1 kHz test tones at 2251 and 2254. At 2300 opening
theme, then mix of announcements and music. Decent until 2330. At 2340 much
weaker; also WYFR 5985.0 started to fade in and produced a het. Nothing heard
on other known MR frequencies.
TAIWAN: Sound of Hope (tent) in Mandarin, 8 Aug 2012, 2251 UTC, 7105 (25311),
man and woman talking.
USA: WTWW is on the air again on 12105 kHz, 8 Aug 2012, 2339 UTC, 35333, talk
in Spanish about men and women.

Peru, 4809.983, Radio Logos, pres, 0945-1010, With a very weak signal,
noted
a steady period of music being broadcast here. Unfortunately, on the
northside
of the signal sets a signal that sounds like a FAX chopping away at Radio
Logos'
weak signal. Notching the interference out does not help much. At 0959 a
male breaks into the music with announcements of ID and other information
which
was too weak and muffled for copy. After a minute of that, music returns.
Logos
remained at a threshold level. (Chuck Bolland, August 9, 2012)
