** ALBANIA. 13640, R. Tirana, English to NAm, Nov 3 at 1532 going from
transmission schedule to news, good signal and absolutely no interference on
channel or from the sides. CODAR (``ocean wave radar``) swishing pulses did not
extend above 13575 at this time (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ASCENSION. BBCWS on 17640 now provides quite good reception in NAm, contrary
to their best efforts to cut us off from SW. Nov 3 at 1435 during Newshour, it
was good enough to audiblize a bit of continuous hum in the background,
attributable to the generators? I wonder if the sound will change once
windpower is up and running, if not dashed by the financial crisis on the
island, and what about the danger to protected birds? Now scheduled 1300-1700,
250 kW at 114 degrees for C&SAf, but excluding South Africa and Magagascar,
where I bet this can be heard too anyway (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** AUSTRIA [non]. I did not get around to checking ORF`s Canada relay on B-09
schedule until Nov 3, and guess what? It`s gone. Tho planned for 16-17 on
13675, nothing there at 1615 check, nor on possible alternative 13775. I was
wanting to confirm whether the token 3-minute local news in English from 0708
UT M-F on 6155 was still being played back in the middle of the German external
broadcasts, in this case circa 1613. Maybe it still is, along with French, if
the direct transmissions to Americas still exist, 0000-0100 on 7325, 0100-0130
on 9840 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake Nov 3 at 1341: zero on 8400, poor on 9000, fair on 10210
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [and non]. RHC check Nov 3 at 0713 finds them still on the air: Spanish
on 6150, 6140, 6120, and weak 6000. English on 6060; nothing on 6010. Evidently
6010 after 0500 has been abandoned, good news so the Colombians and Mexicans
can get back to fighting over it. Would those awake after 0800 check whether
RHC is still on 6150 then, blocking KNLS English?
The RHC 11760 spurblob generator was especially efficient Nov 3 at 1352 when
the whine could be detected down to 11140.8. Usually the lowest one I can hear
is 11192.4. These calculations based on measuring the closest pair this date at
1350 on 11708.4 and 11811.6, or 51.6 kHz displaced. So 11140.8 is the twelfth
one down.
If there were one more it would be on 11089.2, perilously close to the Radio
Saint Helena Day frequency 11092.5 coming up the evening of Saturday Nov 14. If
the spur displacement were to vary to 51.346 kHz, it would land right on RSH.
However, by sheer luck, the 2200-2400 portion of the broadcast should be safe,
as during those two hours only, RHC puts the offending transmitter on 11670,
then 15250 for Venezuela relays.
I monitored the RHC frequency announcements again Nov 3 at 1401 and 1500, both
given by some announcer other than Tony. Once again they had been updated, but
not accurately.
At 1401 on 13780 he said: 15120, 15360, 13760(definitely), 13680, 13780, 11760,
11730, 11800, 6110, i.e. to be used during the following hour. Yet 13760 has
been replaced by 13770, as reconfirmed at 1359 altho it was weak getting splash
from much stronger RHC 13780, Cuban Commies vs Cuban Commies! And also bothered
from 13765 by Vatican IS.
At 1500 he said: 13770, 11730, 11780, 11800, 6110. Once again, 11780 is
obviously a typo for the real channel, 11690. How long before that gets
corrected? Altho 11760 was off at the moment for an antenna change, it and its
two dozen spurs came right back on at 1501, despite having been omitted from
the announcement! Into program featuring trovas.
Meanwhile, the website schedule still has not been updated to show any such
changes as of Nov 3 at 1700, even tho current date autodisplays:
http://www.radiohc.cu/espanol/c_frecuencia/frecuencias.htm
Furthermore, both 11760 and new 11730 have co-channel interference. At 1350 I
was hearing something under 11760 in English: it`s CRI via Kunming at 135
degrees, 1200-1400 to Australia, ChiComs vs CubComs!
And at 1459, 11730 had something under with a timesignal at 1500, and worse
mixing at 1530, in Arabic. That`s RRI to the Mideast, 140 degrees from Galbeni
at 15-16 daily; but the timesignal may have come from BBC Russian via
Rampisham, also at 15-16 M-F on 11730: those two must make quite a collision in
Europe/ME, quite aside from having Habana in addition (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** CYPRUS. 10940-10965, OTH radar, Nov 3 at 1348, presumed from here, bothering
some kind of ute carrier around 10945 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDIA [and non]. AIR Aligarh blob shifted upwards from position the previous
two days: Nov 3 at 1343 centred approximately 9497, covering 9490-9505, so RA
clear on 9475, but something getting creamed on 9500: scheduled as CVC via
Tashkent at 11-14 in, heh heh, Hindi! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. VOI missing for the third day in a row from 9525v/9526v, no trace
even of a carrier at 1344 Nov 3, so we lack our weekly Tuesday Banjarmasin fix
on the Exotic Indonesia excursion. Not that we could make out what they are
saying if it were on the air. Again, no sign of it on 11785v either. We are
beginning to get worried. Is VOI being heard at any other times, anywhere else,
around 9525, 11785 or 15150? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** IRAN. Qur`an with long, pregnant pauses, in // on 13790 and 13800, Nov 3 at
1357, both fair but somewhat stronger on the former. IRIB Arabic service from
two different sites, both scheduled at 0530-1430: 13790, 178 degrees from
Kamalabad; and 13800, 289 degrees from Zahedan. A bit more frequency diversity
would be prudent. Despite the diversity in azimuths, both are for same targets
from Libya to Turkey to Iraq to Oman to Yemen and everywhere in between (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ISRAEL [non]. Galei Zahal has been missing lately from 15786v: Nov 3 at 1406
nothing there aside 15790, BBC Arabic via Cyprus (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** KOREA SOUTH. Quickly scanning 60m, the only readable signal below 5 MHz was
on 4900, Nov 3 at 1336, just in time to hear a few Korean numbers by
no-nonsense YL until 1337*, (faux?) spy transmission as previously caught on
several higher channels such as 6730 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KUWAIT. In contrast to the more traditional Qur`aning on 13790/13800 [see
IRAN], different rendition on 15110, Nov 3 at 1403, voice almost sounds like a
female, but maybe just a boy, as surely Kuwait is not that liberal; then 1404
into equally reverent but non-musical talk in Arabic. Kabd transmitter site,
500 kW at 100 degrees to S Asia, poor-fair signal here (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** NEW ZEALAND. DRM noise on 9865-9870-9875 at 0709 Nov 3; must be RNZI on new
schedule, ex-11675. Yes, accompanied by loud and clear analog RNZI on 9765, and
I prefer to listen to the latter.
At 1332, 6170 is the only frequency for RNZI, but on Nov 3 it has heavy
co-channel QRM in Chinese from VOR even tho that is allegedly aimed due west
from Khabarovsk (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. Double dose of convicted child-marrying/sex-molesting evangelist Tony
Alamo, courtesy WINB, Nov 3: his mind-numbing ramblings were ongoing around
1342 when I tuned across 9265; and again 1615 on 13570 as I was looking for
Austria via Canada on 22m (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. In bandscan of 16m, unlike some days inbooming before 1430, no trace
of KVOH on 17775, Nov 3 at 1535. Is their transmission irregular, or are we
totally at the mercy of HF sporadic-E `short-skip` enhancement in order to hear
KVOH at all, from less than 2 Megameters away? Lots of signals on 16m at the
time, but all from points eastward. This was well after sunrise on Rancho Simi
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. 9555 with WYFR Spanish Nov 3 until sign-off at 1345*,
uncovering VOA Korean, but not soon enough. These two US stations are colliding
on 9555 from 1200 when VOA starts Korean via Saipan, and 1300 via Tinang,
Philippines. WYFR is registered until 1400 but TG for small favors, like so
many of its transmissions ends a quarter-hour earlier (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 11789.9, the 25m-intruding Asian-language 2-way SSB communicators
are still at it on apparent regular daily schedule, Nov 3 at 1502, which should
make them easy to pinpoint with professional DF equipment, if anybody cared
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

** ALBANIA. R. Tirana 2100-2130 English check Nov 3: at 2111 very poor signal
on 9895, just noise on 7520. Propagation conditions had degraded. At 2346,
during Tirana`s one-hour break before resuming in Albanian on 7425, I found
that frequency bearing something in Chinese, and furthermore jamming noise
underneath, the latter probably spurious from the barrage against Mart? on
7405, as there were similar sounds on otherwise open 7385, 20 kHz on the
opposite side.
Chinese is now scheduled as CRI via Kunming, 500 kW at 177 degrees, but CRI is
also scheduled during the following hour on 7425, 00-01 in English via Kashgar,
East Turkistan, 100 kW at 174 degrees, and that explains the weak co-channel or
SAH that has been heard when R. Tirana to NAm is quite weak after 0000. One
needs to hear it on 7425 since:
The other RT frequency, 6110 from 0000, it is still occupied by RHC but the two
could be heard mixing at 0052 Nov 4, plus DentroCuban bubble jamming underneath
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CANADA. 11865, some nice oud music on VG signal, Nov 3 at 2039. This
frequency-hour now occupied by RCI Arabic service, 73 degrees from Sackville
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. I monitored RHC periodically the afternoon and evening of Nov 3 to
determine what they are really doing since Nov 2, whether there are any further
new surprise frequencies, etc. Chex were made for a few minutes within almost
every semihour period between 2016 Nov 3 and 0140 UT Nov 4 ---
RHC Spanish was audible:
13790 at 2107, 2134, 2202, 2234
13770 at 2016, 2037 with CCI, SAH; 2107, 2134, 2202, 2234
11800 at 2016, 2037, 2107, 2134, 2202, 2234, 2307, 2342
11770 at 2107, 2134, 2202, 2234, 2307; OFF at 2342
11760 at 2016; at 2036 was on but two dozen spurs missing temporarily; 2107
plus spurs back, 2134
11730 at 2037, 2107, 2134, 2202, 2234, 2307; OFF at 2342
11690 not heard at 2016; it probably went off at 1900 or 2000; back on at 2307,
2342
By 0052, 11, 13 MHz and higher bands are dead, so can`t be sure if some of
those frequencies are still running
9600 at 0052
6140 at 0140, undermodulated. Night before it was in English
6120 at 0052, 0140
6110 at 2016, 2047, 2107, 2134, 2202, 2234, 2307, 2342; 0052 mixed with Tirana
and Cuban bubble jamming, 0140
6060 at 0052, 0140
RHC Mesa Redonda, separate programming:
9640 and 6000 at 2342, not on during previous semihour. Probably started at
2330 and explains 11730 and 11770 going off by then
RHC Portuguese:
11770 at 2016
13770 at 2307, 2342
RHC Arabic:
11770 at 2036
RHC English
Not found on any frequency between 2030 and 2130; no 17660 audible
13790 at 2307, 2342 with DXers Unlimited
RHC in ???
17705 at 2205, weak carrier, either open or undermodulated
5965 no longer heard at any time, but still may have missed some language
transmissions previously scheduled
Venezuela relays:
17705, trace of something at 2018, maybe this; 2042 Ch?vez audible not // RHC
15250, at 2307, plus spurs 15198, 15302, etc.; 2342 all weakening
13680, missing 24 hours earlier, on at 2307 with better mod and no spurs unlike
// 15250; 2342
11670, at 2203 plus spurs 11618 etc.; 2234 plus spurs 11722 etc.
Summarizing, with presumed approximate on/off times:
17705, 20-21 RNV, 22-? Algo
15250+spurs, 23-24 RNV
13790, 21-23 Spanish, 23-24 English
13770, +20-23 Spanish, 23-24 Portuguese
13680, 23-24 RNV // 15250
11800, +20-24 Spanish
11770, 20-2030 Portuguese, 2030-21 Arabic, 21-2330 Spanish
11760+spurs, -22 Spanish
11730, +2030-2330 Spanish
11690, 23- Spanish
11670+spurs, 22-23 RNV
9640, 2330- Spanish/MR
9600, 00- Spanish
6140, 01- Spanish
6120, 00- Spanish
6110, +20-02+ Spanish
6060, 00- Spanish
6000, 2330- Spanish/MR
Also, the jamming against non-existent VOA Spanish on 5890, Nov 3 at 2342 was
only lite, so some of the DentroCuban jammer sites may be getting word that
they don`t `need` to go full-bore until 0000
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ECUADOR [non]. 12025, Nov 3 at 2109 with VTC fill music loop. They still
haven`t figured out how to get HCJB`s Arabic service into the modulator of this
Sackville transmitter (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MAURITANIA. Jari Savolainen in Finland heard ORTM reactivated on 4845, Nov 3
at 1735, and Harold Frodge, MI, was also getting something in Arabic there at
2233-2324+ with ute QRM. So was I at 0143 Nov 4, but should be better around
sunrise; WRTH 2009 said nominal span on 4845 was 1700-0800, then 7245 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NETHERLANDS [non]. RN`s English hour 20-21 UT well audible via Bonaire 21525
and South Africa 11655, Nov 3 at 2017 discussing health care (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PORTUGAL [and non]. Some fantastically exciting sporting event must have
been going on, as RDPI was frantically yelling about it on 12040, Nov 3 at
2110. This is one of those frequencies that is fired up at this time on
weekdays, only if there is some special event, 300 kW and 300 degrees.
Daily program schedule, which lagged more than a week behind in realigning
Lisboa time with UT, shows: ``19:30 19:30 FUTEBOL - LIGA DOS CAMPE?ES - Fase de
Grupos APOEL NICOSIA / FC PORTO [at?] 22:00 22:00``. Similar coverage in
Spanish from REE on 9640 at same time must have been some other game. Then at
0136 Nov 4, Brazilian music on 9455, same Lisboa parameters, scheduled weekdays
only (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. VOA in Kriyol to Ha?ti has been shifted one UT hour later, even tho
it is Washington, not Port-au-Prince which just changed local clock time: now
heard with VG signals from Greenville at 2204 Nov 3 on 13725, 15390 and 11905
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. Tho inaudible in the morning, KVOH 17775 with fair signal at 2017
check Nov 3 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. WRMI, 9955 during scheduled R. Prague relay in English, Nov
3 at 1520 and for the next few minutes I monitored, just open carrier,
modulation missing. This did allow us to detect that DentroCuban jamming *was
still running* underneath; but when WRMI is modulating in the mornings on their
NW antenna, can suppress it.
Happy Station heard at one of its new bonus repeat times, UT Wed Nov 4 at 0134
on 9955, sounded like familiar Strelnikov interview from last week. Poor signal
now but no jamming audible (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 3185, WWRB playing Dave`s favorite fill music, big band, with
``Chattanooga Choo-Choo``, UT Wed Nov 4 at 0144, while the next transmitter was
occupied with Brother Scare on 3215. With such a choice, how could one possibly
pick one over the other to listen to? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 11789.9-USB, 2-way Asian language intruders frequently heard in
the mornings, also conversing at 2037 Nov 3 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST) ###
