Why would a station abbreviate its call to the least distinctive part of it? Must be CKJH, Melfort, Sask., 25/25 kW U3, i.e. non-direxional day and all-north at night; yeah, sure (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CHINA. Firedrake Nov 18 around 1235: NONE found 12-18 MHz. I suppose they are just not propagating now, or have those in Asia another opinion? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** EAST TURKISTAN. 9710, Nov 18 at 0235, Chinese music with flutter. Must be CRI Spanish at 01-03, 500 kW, 294 degrees from Kashgar to CIRAF 12-14, i.e. northern S America, plus northern Argentina and Chile, but not SE Brazil or southern Patagonia. (RHC on 9710 is now scheduled 22-24 only). (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** EGYPT. 9720, Nov 18 at 0235, good carrier but no modulation at all audible from R. Cairo in English to NAm, burning 250 kW for nothing (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** GREECE. 7475, Nov 18 at 0618, jazz song by YL in English, not // 9420 with Greek Orthodox cantors. Therefore I suspect 7475 is carrying the R. Filia service in some unknown nominal language rather than or in addition to 11645, while 9420 is mainstream Voice of Greece as usual on Sunday mornings. Or 7475 could have defaulted to some other domestic relay in all the confusion (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** GUIANA FRENCH. 5844, 5892, 5994, 6076, approx., Nov 18 at 0232 check, spurblobs from 5960 NHK relay are still being transmitted by TDF Montsin?ry (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** LITHUANIA. 7415, Nov 18 at 0228, music on poor signal with flutter, 0234 sounds like French announcement. Too bad to keep listening, but was scheduled special for Radio Waves International 29th anniversary broadcast at 02-04, 100 kW, 310 degrees via Sitkunai to North America. RWI is otherwise a French pirate. Strangely enough, despite my reminder just before 0200 to the DXLD yg, I`ve not seen a single other report of hearing this in the DXLD yg or elsewhere (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** OKLAHOMA. 960, Nov 18 at 0600 UT, KGWA stays on a minute longer than usual with commercials, and only at 0601 starts the Fox-hole of dead air, modulation cutting back on at 0605 after only 4 minutes, during which nothing notable could be heard from understations (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** ROMANIA. 17530, Nov 18 at 1248, RRI in English with a show about a jazz musician; it`s the SSOB except for RHC and just about the OSOB from Europe (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** SPAIN. 17595, Sunday Nov 18 at 1330, REE with Arabic music, so amid `Mundofon?as` world music show as soon announced, also mentioning Paquistan? at next break; and on echoey 21610, via Costa Rica on 15170 // much weaker 15125. So in new program sked since Nov 12, `Mundofonias` is Sundays 1305-1355. May we see the whole grid? Guess what, no show by that name appears on the list of all programs, all networks, let alone REE itself: http://www.rtve.es/radio/programas/#grupo_progamas_14 and the link to parilla de programaci?n is unfound. That`s why we have to depend on the unofficial site Programas DX for posting the REE program schedules: http://programasdx.com/principal_archivos/parrillareeb12.pdf But is this the new one, or the interim one, since it`s dated effective Oct 28? It does agree on Mundofon?as 2, Sundays at 1305, but not on a frequency to Asia. Also: Sat 0105. Mundofon?as 1: Fri 0805, Sat 2205, Sun 1605, the last two splitting with other programming or depending on sports pre-emptions. While we are at it, Amigos de la Onda Corta is shown: Sat 0605, Sun 2330, Tue 0230, i.e. not yet expanded to an hour to include mailbag. Nothing on this schedule about co-official languages Basque, Catalan or Galician. So have they dispensed with Basque which was sporadically appearing weekdays at 1230? I`ve yet to hear it at 1330 after DST. Still on the schedule is `Vida Verda`, which we found out only by listening is really in Catalan, Sun 0405. Maybe a typo, there is a separate `Vida Verde`, Sat 1105, Sun 0205 (I am adding 5 minutes at hourtops, presuming news has been omitted from the schedules). (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 9990, Nov 18 around 0030, WTWW-2 is on with music; after 0200 switched to 5085 where Ted Randall is taking requests and dedications from RI, AZ, etc. for classic rock tunes; after 0300, Rod Hembree preaching, which seems to be regular now; after 0400, playback of QSO Radio show by Ted, past 0600 and no WORLD OF RADIO noted this week, or did I miss it? Off the air by 0647 check (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 5050, Nov 18 at 0622 big open carrier with some hum; turning up the volume, it is just barely modulated with crosstalk from Brother Scare, and it matches 3185 WWRB, not 5890 WWCR; 0647 still on with some lite beeps. Must be WWRB running the other transmitter which has otherwise been deactivated after a spell on 5051 // 3195 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 720, Nov 18 at 1226 UT, callers from Panam?, New York, about f?tbol in Spain, 1228 ESPN Deportes, 7-20 AM, San Antonio, plus promos for 104.1, La Estaci?n de la Raza, Norte?o 104.1. So it`s KSAH Universal City (San Antonio) TX. Signal is equally strong as WGN and each can be heard clearly in the null of the other, tho they are not that far off opposite from here. 10/0.89 kW but sure sounds like day power, altho November official sunrise is not until 1300, and there is nothing about a PSRA in its FCC AM Query files (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 1070, November 17 at 0616 UT, ``el sonido joven, La Jefa es m?s m?sica``, loops E-W, announcement between musix. So this Spanish I have been hearing vs KNX, and more or less in null of KLIO is indeed WCSZ in Sans Souci SC (Greenville market). NRC AM Log says ``La Jefe`` which is a contradixion in gender, but close enough. It`s been widely reported recently, suspected 50 kW day power at night. Harold Frodge in MI also had La Jefa, 10 Nov at 0213-0230+ (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) [date correct, omitted from previous report.] [if quoting this item, omit this annotation which will be irrelevant] [if quoting this item, omit the second annotation too, etc.] ** U S A. 1480, Nov 17 at 2040 UT, on caradio, gospel music no doubt KBXD Dallas TX, usual fast SAH with KQAM Wichita, but then fading down. Anyhow, skywave is starting to kick in (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 1660, Sunday Nov 18 at 1200 UT, `Radio Health Journal` starting, and then also heard on local 1640 KFXY Enid. 1660 loops as KUDL Kansas City, instead of Bloomberg News at this hour, while 1680 KRJO Monroe LA stayed with BBN. Program site http://www.mediatracks.com/radiohealthjournal/ has an ``affiliates`` link but it`s for *them* to log in, not a listing for the benefit of would-be listeners. It`s even more unusual for KFXY to break away from its southern gospel music format for such a show, paid infomercial? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) UNIDINTIFIED. 702, Nov 18 at 1233 UT, only 9-kHz channel TP carrier I can find is here, presumably 50 kW 2BL, ABC Sydney, Australia, the usual suspect. I wonder if many of these, mostly along the populated coasts, use direxional antennas to avoid wastage overwater? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) UNIDENTIFIED. 720, Nov 18 at 1303 UT, choral Mexican NA, seems WSW, but losing to WGN(?) at 1306 before it`s over. Probably XEJCC in Ju?rez (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) UNIDENTIFIED. 900, Nov 18 at 1214 UT, Mexican NA, 1215 maybe same station with funny voices. Odd time, maybe observing local sunrise somewhere? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) UNIDENTIFIED. 1470, Nov 18 at 1205-1208 UT, Mexican NA, seems from SW, but heavy CCI and could not pull any ID afterwards (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ------------------------------ Message: 5 Date: Sun, 18 Nov 2012 16:35:19 -0500 From: Albert Muick <radioresearch_field_operati...@yahoo.com> To: DXLD <d...@yahoogroups.com>, HCDX <hard-core-dx@hard-core-dx.com> Subject: [HCDX] QSL Report for Al Muick, Week ending 17 November 2012 Message-ID: <50a95497.8090...@yahoo.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed CANADA, CKDO Oshawa ON, 1580, full data antenna field card in 15 days for English email report to steve(at)kx96(dot)fm (their FM outlet).

Very impressive! 73 Al Muick Williamsport PA USA ------------------------------ Message: 6 Date: Sun, 18 Nov 2012 21:06:07 -0800 (PST) From: Glenn Hauser <wghau...@yahoo.com> To: d...@yahoogroups.com Cc: BDXC-news yg <bdxc-n...@yahoogroups.com>, hard-core-dx@hard-core-dx.com, playdx <playdx2...@yahoogroups.com>, NRC AM <a...@nrcdxas.org>, ABDX <a...@yahoogroups.com>, WTFDA AM <a...@wtfda.info>, IRCA <i...@hard-core-dx.com> Subject: [HCDX] 1314 test from Norway imminent Message-ID: <1353301567.23402.yahoomailclas...@web114009.mail.gq1.yahoo.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Test transmission on 1314 kHz from LKB/LLE tomorrow morning November 19th at 0830 until 0930 CET, 0730-0830 UT.
