Aoki shows 7355 is supposed to run English hours only at 10 & 12 UT. WRTH 2013 shows no English at 14 or anytime on 7355, just 10, 12 and 15 on 9 MHz channels. The KNLS Russian service schedule for all broadcasts at http://www.knls.net/rus/schedule.htm does show 7355 at 14-15 for Angliyskiy IF they have two transmitters going, the other on 9615 in Kitayskiy; and if only a single transmitter, only the latter would apply. KNLS` own ``current`` schedule in English http://www.knls.org/broadcasting-front.html agrees on Chinese at 14-15 on 9615, and nothing anywhen on 7355. Don`t you believe it (or their theology) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** ANGOLA. 4949.76, Feb 14 at 0102, amid all the LA and Asian carriers and some with audio around the 60m band, I find this JBA African carrier, measured as 6 x 40 Hz clix below 4950 via the DX-398 on the porch, certainly within margin of error to the off-frequency everyone is reporting from RNA, 4949.74. Another log based on little but precision frequency, as no audio for me tho it`s being reported with much improved modulation lately (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** ANTARCTICA. 15476, Thursday Feb 14 at 1317, 1337 and 1458, NO trace of an LRA36 carrier. They often reactivate sometime in February which is already semi-over, apparently due to arrival of new crews to winter over. Last word we had in November was that they had fixed their transmitter and it was briefly tested on air, heard by no one beyond the Southern Cone, so it`s ready to go for the new season and frequent rechex of 15476 are in order (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** AUSTRALIA [and non]. 6140, Feb 14 at 1240, R. Australia running 7 seconds behind 6080, 6020 direct, as 6140 is the SINGAPORE relay. More importantly, the modulation level on 6140 is very low; is anyone paying attention at BaBcoCk, or ABC? 6140 is scheduled 11-13, 100 kW, 13 degrees, good for N America too (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** BELGIUM [non]. 17870-17875-17880, Feb 13 at 2000+, no DRM noise from BRB`s The Disco Palace for several days now. Checked the drmna yg and no mention of this; guess nobody cares or has noticed (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CANADA. Replies to my tentative log of CHKT 1430 in Punjabi: Glenn, I am not sure if the pattern for CHKT has changed over the years, but when they were CFGM / Richmond Hill I could hear them faintly during daylight hours in Western New York. The contour map shown at http://www.radio-locator.com shows the definite NNW emphasis but also shows a SSE emphasis as well (Richard Cuff / Allentown, PA USA, ODXA yg via DXLD) A number of Toronto mediumwave transmitters are located in the area between Grimsby and St. Catharines (southwest of Toronto on the west end of Lake Ontario) and broadcast to the NNE. CHKT is different as it was CJCL before it moved to 590. Its transmitters were located on the Toronto Islands and, since the ethnic groups they broadcast to largely live to the west and northwest of Toronto, they would naturally beam NNW (Mark Coady, Ont., ibid.) ** CUBA. 15340, Feb 13 at 2004, RHC is in English!! like on 11760, while 15340 is supposed to be in Portuguese. Tough luck, Lusitanians, as 15340 is supposed to be aimed 53 degrees per Aoki, tho as always is much stronger here to the northwest than non-direxional 11760 is. 5990, Feb 14 at 0101, CRI relay supposed to quit by 0100 is still going, having switched from Spanish to English, opening `Beijing Hour`, and still even past 0103.5 check, but by 0105 modulation has been cut tho carrier remains, fortunately by now not splashing upon 5980 PERU, q.v. (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** DIEGO GARCIA. 12759-USB, Feb 14 at 0056 and 0106 chex, nothing audible from AFN tonight, as it was readable 48 hours earlier and detectable 24 hours earlier. Apparently you never know just when they will switch from 4319-USB, but 12 MHz is likely to be on the edge propagationally (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** MYANMAR. 5985.8, Feb 14 at 1341, nice music, then talk from presumed Yangon, poor signal but totally in the clear, nothing to het it. I wish Aoki could accommodate a couple more spaces to show stations perpetually off-frequency like this instead of just ``5985``. EiBi, however, does include decimal frequencies, this as 5985.8 (tho ANGOLA, q.v., only as 4950). Wolfgang B?schel happened to measure Myanmar Radio at 1450 today on 5985.814, also in the clear (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** NIGERIA. 15115-15120-15125, Feb 13 at 1958, no DRM from VON, which normally runs 1830-2000. So REE 15125 COSTA RICA analog is clear of QRDRM (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1656, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** PERU. 5980.0, Feb 14 at 0055, CNR1 jammer is primary, no Cuban noise jamming audible tonight, and some other signal under. 0100 usual timesignal and CNR1 QRT, uncovering very weak, mostly musical postlude from R. Chaski, Urubamba; at 0105 recognizable tune, ``Bless?d Assurance`` including fluty instrument, until carrier cut at 0106:04*, 4-5 sex later than last night. See also CUBA 5990 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** OKLAHOMA. 1650, Feb 13 at 2011 UT, I try to hear KYHN ``Fort Smith AR``, and do detect a JBA carrier in the sideband splash of 10 kW local KOAG 1640. In full day groundwave, unlikely to be from any other 1650. 1650, Feb 14 at 0055 UT check, *still/again* the same old promo for `Focus on the Family`. At 0658 UT, now it`s open carrier/deadair from E/W making fast SAH with Iowa. Did the humans, if any, at KYHN finally get fed up with all the repetition? A sure way to drive away potential listeners too (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** SARAWAK [non]. 11600, Feb 14 at 1245, presumed R. Free Sarawak on new frequency from secret site, all-talk in presumed Iban, poor level but no QRM and improving marginally such that I might be able to copy it if I understood a word of Iban; initially male voice, then female, who was rather emphatic. 1256:46 shift to a song, 1257:25 cut modulation, carrier on until 1258:02* Never anything like an ID heard; do they use the English name or something completely different in Iban? Scheduled 11-13 UT now; website http://radiofreesarawak.org/ conveniently summarises in English the content of each day`s podcast, but is any of that really in English? Duration on player shows as just over 2:00 hours, so looks like another client who doesn`t understand that SW transmissions have to be cut a few minutes short in order to allow time for frequency/antenna changes to another service. BTW, more of these clandestines could erupt prior to upcoming elexions. Not sure if a different date in Sarawak only, but Wikipedia says: ``Malaysian general election, 2013 Malaysia --- on or before 27 June 2013, to be determined by the Election Commission. The 13th Malaysian general election must be held no later than 27 June 2013. The constitutional parliamentary term in Malaysia is five years, after which the parliament must be dissolved by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong on the advice of the Prime Minister as pertained in the Malaysian laws for national elections. Malaysia uses the first-past-the-post system. The election will be conducted by the Election Commission of Malaysia. While in theory any State may dissolve its assembly independently of the Federal Parliament, the traditional practice is for most state assemblies to be dissolved at the same time as Parliament, with the exception of Sarawak`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 3185 & 9370, both missing Feb 14 at 1313 and 1315 respectively, neither WWRB frequency on air. I want my Overcomer! Unfortunately already on 9980 WWCR (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** TIBET [non]. 7414, Feb 14 at 1259, I finally tune in for the beginning of the V. of Tibet service in Chinese which I have heard several days until off around 1330*, either on 7414 or 7413. Today it`s just a rumbling blob at first, then some tones, and 1300 starts some music and talk, but the modulation is underneath the rumble today, and with BFO, one can tell the carrier is very unstable, wobbling. Most of these VOT off-frequency transmissions have been attributed to TAJIKISTAN on various 7 and 15 MHz frequencies, but I wonder if this is elsewhence? Does Yangi-Yul really employ a transmitter in such poor condition? Maybe it`s just a bonus for their other business, no complaints, please. Aoki finally includes it in today`s update as Tajikistan: 7413*VOICE OF TIBET 1300-1330 1234567 Chinese 100 95 Dushanbe-Yangiyul TJK 06848E 3829N VOTi b12 After 1330 I look for a similar blob in the 7500-7600 range, since as of Feb 13, Hiroshi via S. Hasegawa reported the VOT Chinese service, after 7413 until 1330, was on 7548 at 1330-1341, and 7558 at 1341-1430 --- but nothing like that heard here today. Strangely enough, Ivo Ivanov in Bulgaria could *not* hear 7414/7413 today and thought it was off; Wolfgang B?schel with a remote receiver in Sweden *did* hear VOT as Tajikistan on 7558 at 1342-1400, ``Accompanied by China mainland Firedrake music and ship horn tone on 7560 kHz. Poor level of Firedrake here in Europe``. He doesn`t mention anything wrong with that VOT transmission, so despite seeming co?rdination in times, and also due to the disparity in which frequencies are heard where, I continue to suspect the 7414/7413 blobby broadcast is from somewhere else (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** TUNISIA [and non]. 17735, Feb 13 at 2001 after hearing no DRM around 17875, I realize I am not hearing any AM either on the 16m band --- until I turn on the BFO and detect a JBA carrier here, presumably IWT for another few minutes, and another on 17755, presumably SPAIN. That`s it --- during this hour, no one at all, west of Eurafrica is even attempting to broadcast on 17 MHz. A self-imposed blackout (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 15200-15250, Feb 13 at 2003, VOA French, Mathieu LaVoie with ``Country Musique``, bigsig and with huge splatter range, especially during music itself, from Greenville B, 15225 supposedly aimed east, opposite from here. 15560-15600 or so, Feb 13 at 2005, VOA Greenville in English 15580 is also splattering but less so. This had been the only hour that 15580 was via GB, but on January 3 added 03-05 UT, a bold move across the darkside, replacing S?o Tom? --- too little propagation, too much skip zone that early inside Africa? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1656: first SW airing should be Thursday Feb 14 at 2200+ on WTWW-1 9479; then UT Friday 0430v on WWRB 3195 & 5050; UT Saturday 0230v on Area 51 via WBCQ 5110v-CUSB; on Hamburger Lokalradio 7265-CUSB, Sat 0630 and NEW 1430 ex-1630 plus same times Wednesday; on WTWW-1 5830: UT Sunday 0500+. On WRN via SiriusXM 120, Sat 1830. Full schedule including many more affiliates, webcasts: http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html (Glenn Hauser, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 9265, Feb 13 at *2200.3, WINB cuts wobble on here after QSY from 13570 which was already off when I turned on at 2158. In the meantime I thought I heard a brief carrier on 9273, but maybe a spoiler from something else (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) UNIDENTIFIED. 7435.3 approx., Feb 14 at 1329, big het upon 7435.0, in Chinese, which would be CRI via Nanning. Can`t make out any modulation on the higher signal. Assuming it`s not a utility, most likely source is Voice of Vietnam 1, per Aoki on 7435 all the way from 2145 to 1700: VOV notorious for running off-frequency, tho no such things ever shown by Aoki, let alone HFCC Iran Pashto service also scheduled from Sirjan until 1330 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) UNIDENTIFIED. 7530, Feb 14 at 1304, open carrier, good with lite fades, off at 1306 recheck. Likely IBB Tinang, PHILIPPINES, warming up before the only thing coming up on this frequency, VOA Tibetan at 14-15, which of course will be jammed (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ------------------------------ Message: 3 Date: Thu, 14 Feb 2013 19:33:09 +0100 From: "Wolfgang Bueschel" <buesche...@web.de> To: "BCLNEWS" <bcln...@yahoogroups.com>, "HCDX" <hard-core-dx@hard-core-dx.com>, "DXLD" <d...@yahoogroups.com> Subject: Re: [HCDX] [dxld] Glenn Hauser logs February 13-14, 2013 Message-ID: <1C2C5E2A09A54260B9D9CF2AC6166BF7@HNPC2> Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed; charset="iso-8859-1"; reply-type=original some comments ----- Original Message ----- From: "Glenn Hauser" Sent: Thursday, February 14, 2013 7:15 PM Subject: [dxld] Glenn Hauser logs February 13-14, 2013 TIBET [non]. 7414, Feb 14 at 1259, I finally tune in for the beginning of the V. of Tibet service in Chinese which I have heard several days until off around 1330*, either on 7414 or 7413.

I thought I had tuned across it since then, but in the DRMRX Forum, this was last reported on 8 January and first reported missing 9 January, both by AF4MP in Roswell GA. http://www.drmrx.org/forum/showthread.php?t=2401&page=16&highlight=17875 On 30 January, tpreitzel posted, ``I`d like to know as well. I e-mailed the Disco Palace about a week ago via their address as posted on their website, but I haven't received a response. The disappearance of the broadcast could be permanent due to a reduction in the budget of the sponsoring company or temporary due to a maintenance issue at Montsinery.`` Now I`ve asked Ludo Maes too. This hour still appears on various schedules (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** BRAZIL. 6180, Feb 15 at 0057, RNA/RNB is missing, but still bigsig on 11780 during a phoner mentioning 50th anniversary of R. Nacional (is that all? which R. Nacional?). Fortunate for XEPPM, 6185, see MEXICO (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CHINA. Firedrake Feb 15, before 0130: 13920, good at 0122 13850, good at 0122, first found, so then I look for others 13820, fair at 0122 13775, very poor at 0123 Aoki shows the only targets on all of these are 100-watt nuisance transmitters of Sound of Hope, Taiwan. This was from the DX-398 on the porch, so I head back inside to continue searching on the FRG-7 where continuous tuning makes it a lot easier. Checking the 13 MHz ones first, I find that I was getting considerably better signals from them on the DX-398, but then also: 15610, poor at 0128; target here is RFA Tibetan via Tinian at 01-02 15800, fair at 0129 16100, fair at 0130 No others in the 17s, 18s, 14s, 12s or 11s (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** EAST TURKISTAN. 4500, Feb 15 at 0049, presumed Mongolian service from PBS Xinjiang, Urumqi, poor signal. And its siblings: 4850, Kazakh service is JBA 4980, Uighur service is stronger with usual hum and distortion 5060, Chinese service, natch, is as usual best and clear. They amount to the best Asian signals on 60m (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** MEXICO. 6185, Feb 15 at 0057, BRAZIL is missing from 6180, luckily for XEPPM which just as I tune in is IDing their SW frequency, and then YL introduces ``primer bloque de m?sica, ranchera``. Fair signal and enough not to be bothered by Serbia on 6190, but considerably undermodulated as usual (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** NIGERIA. 15115-15120-15125, Feb 14 at 1911, no DRM noise signal from VON, nor the last few days. Last reported on the DRM RX forum on 10 Feb: http://www.drmrx.org/forum/showthread.php?t=2390&page=16&highlight=15120 ``Voice of Nigeria 15120 kHz reception near Atlanta, Georgia, USA This afternoon's last hour reception report - 3.71% audio decoded, max SNR 9.63 dB.

Look at that less than 4% decode rate (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** PERU [and non]. 4835+, Feb 15 at 0053, two JBA carriers on slightly different frequencies, with CODAR QRM. The one on the hi side of 4835 matches the original measurement by Pedro F. Arrun?tegui in Lima of R. Ondas del Suroriente, Quillabamba, as soon as it moved from 5120 to 4835.03. That it was offset was easy to notice, by stepping 5 kHz on the DX-398 with BFO, and finding weak carriers on 4840, 4850, 4860, etc., all matching pitch unlike 4835. The other: presumed AIR Sikkim. Assumed would be blown away by 4840 WWCR from 0058 so not until 0115 did I notice that WWCR was missing --- along with all its other frequencies: see U S A. By now I am only hearing one JBA carrier on 4835, so nothing was gained (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** PERU. 5980.0, Feb 15 at 0056 CNR1 jammer in Chinese vs some music; the latter could be its real target, VOA Tibetan, 250 kW, 20 degrees from Iranawila, SRI LANKA, or R. Chaski. If it is VOA, it`s always off by the time CNR1 6-pip timesignal ends at 0100* and that goes off. Fortunately there is no Cuban noise jamming audible tonight. Now uncovered is music and talk continuing from presumed R. Chaski, Urubamba, which turns out be one of its better nights: 0100.7 announcement says ``saludos, amigos oyentes`` but after that it`s too muffled to make out; 0101.7 brief sounder and another announcement; 0103.3 another ditto; 0104.3 definitely Spanish; 0105.4 mentions ``n?mero 1,054``, maybe part of an address? music sounds like an hymn, but cut off the air as expected at 0106:10* = 5 or 6 sex later than last night (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1656 monitoring: confirmed first SW airing Thu Feb 14 at 2200:37 on WTWW-1 9479. Playback is now starting well after the ID fires automatically at Lebanon overriding the SFAW feed, at top of hour exactly, lasting 14 seconds, and then the rest of SFAW promo resumes. Perhaps the clox at WTWW and SFAW HQ are not synchronized. Next: UT Friday 0430v on WWRB 3195, and we hope also 5050, which was on the air at 0052 with big band music, and at 0228. Lately WOR on WWRB has been starting a few minutes early. Then: UT Sat 0230v on Area 51 via WBCQ 5110v-CUSB; lately that has been starting a few minutes late, but apparently never starts earlier than 0230. On HLR 7265-CUSB: Sat 0630 & 1430. On WRN via SiriusXM 120: Sat 1830 UT. On WRMI 9955: we would have been heard Sat 0900, 1600, 1830, Sun 0900, 1630, Mon 0530, Tue 1200, but oh oh, this just in from Jeff White: ``Glenn: Brother Stair has bought a large amount of time on WRMI beginning on short notice tonight at midnight ET. The exact schedule will hopefully be on our website sometime tomorrow. This new schedule will mean that a lot of the free repeats of programs will have to be eliminated, or in some cases moved to new days and times. But we will go to 24/7 on 9955 kHz effective tomorrow. This is a short-term contract till May 31. Jeff`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 4840, Feb 15 at 0115 I notice that WWCR is missing instead of usual start just before 0100; then I check the other three transmitters: at 0121, finding 3195, 5935 and at 0133, 7520 are all missing too, a total shutdown for some reason, thus depriving us of four gospel huxters and/or super-patriots. At 0227, check all four are back on: 3215, 4840, 5890, 5935 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) UNIDENTIFIED. 6020, Feb 15 at 0107, CRI English news via Albania has considerable QRM from an understation which I struggle to recognize. Intonation sounds Brazilian, but can`t make out any Portuguese words for sure; at one point sounded like an Arabic word or name. R?dio Ga?cha used to be on 6020, but WRTH 2013 shows it inactive, and it`s missing from current Brazilian activity listings as in DXLD 13-06. This understation is also virtually zero-beat with CRI, no mean feat for a Brazilian. The other possibilities per Aoki at this time on 6020 are another CRI broadcast via Kashgar, EAST TURKISTAN in Urdu, which is certainly possible at this hour and much more so than VOV4, Vietnam, 20 kW ND from Daclac (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) End of Hard-Core-DX Digest, Vol 122, Issue 17 *********************************************
