Bolivia, 6134.804, Radio Santa Cruz, 1040-1105, Can
barely hear the audio on this,
but what I do hear is a female in Spanish language
comments. Signal is drifting
upward as time passes, from 6134.804 to 6134.827KHz.
At 1055 signal
begins to improve from a threshold to a poor level and
the audio is much better.
(Chuck Bolland, January 20, 2011)
Dominican Republic, 6025.082, Radio Amanecer,
1105-1115, Noted a male in Spanish
language comments over music with a serious tone.
Later he is joined by a second
male as they both continue commenting with TC's.
Signal was fair but splatter from
Marti ruined it. (Chuck Bolland, January 20, 2011)
Peru, 4774.95, Radio Tarma, 1125-1135, Another one of
those signals that is barely
audible with a male in Spanish comments. A second
station is on 4775 KHz which
may be the Brazilian, Radio Congonhas? (Chuck Bolland,
January 20, 2011)
China, 4820.00, People's Broadcasting Station, Tent,
1133-1145, Noted a male and female in
Chinese/Mandarin language comments during this period.
Signal was really weak. Tried
to find a parallel for this, but couldn't. CNR1 is
also listed on this frequency.
(Chuck Bolland, January 20, 2011)
China, 4919.997, People's Broadcasting Station, Xizang,
1150-1200, Noted a male in
possibly Tibetian language comments. Not sure about
the language. Noted a parallel
signal on 5240 KHz. (Chuck Bolland, January 20, 2011)

** AUSTRALIA [and non]. 9710 and 9660, RA at 0700 Jan 20 claims it`s 8 pm in
Suva, so Fiji is on DST of UT+13 like NZ? Yes, until 16 March, says WRTH 2011,
but whether there will be DST next `summer` is subject to confirmation. May I
point out that it`s absurd for a country inside the tropix at latitude 17 to be
going on DST, but just tell that to M?xico and Brasil! It`s the fashionable
thing to do.
RA News says floods are now hitting 70 towns in N & W Victoria, while Brisbane
is bracing for a ``king tide``, i.e. 0030 UT Friday, where they have enough
sense to avoid DST:
http://news.ninemsn.com.au/national/floods/8199804/brisbane-nervous-ahead-of-king-tide
What are king tides?
http://www.msq.qld.gov.au/Tides/King-tides.aspx
RA also audible at 0705 with `Pacific Beat` on 13630 and 15160, but not 13690,
15240. 13690 is scheduled to close at 0700, but not 15240, until 0800 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CANADA. 9625, once again Jan 20 at 0702, CBCNQ transmitter is still on with
open carrier an hour after sign-off. Say, I have an idea: why not apply
modulation, such as CBC Overnight? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** COLOMBIA. 5910-, slightly on low side, goodbye to the peppy music Marfil
Est?reo plays all night, relayed by HJDH. Jan 20 at 0710, no music, but
continuous Spanish preaching past 0715. QSL manager Rafael Rodr?guez has
announced that 5910 has switched to relaying the AM 1530 outlet of Colombia
para Cristo, Radio Alcarav?n, ``que genera su se?al desde Puerto Lleras con
mejor programaci?n musical propia de los llanos orientales``. Maybe sometime,
but not now.
The other HJDH, 6010 remains with La Voz de tu Conciencia, but blocked by RHC
Spanish until about 0710, then hearing instead MEXICO, q.v. (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 9153.0, no signal Jan 20 at 0702, unlike 24 hours earlier cut spy
numbers = letters on MCW with super-signal. These things tend to operate on a
weekly rather than daily schedule, so should show again at least on next
Wednesday.
5955, Jan 20 at 1241 pulse jamming still going while ELCOR has probably QSYed
the R. Rep?blica 5954.2v transmission to 9965.5, where there is full-bore
wall-of-noise jamming.
6030, Jan 20 at 1305, pulse jamming still here long after R. Mart? closed, and
now mixing with Firedrake as usual vs Ming Hui Radio, Taiwan, Commie jamming vs
Commie jamming! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also COLOMBIA;
VENEZUELA [non]
** CUBA [non]. 7210-LSB, Jan 20 at 1245, Nelson, N1NR, Bushkill PA is on this
early ranting in Spanish about Venezuela, petroleum, Cuba, el ALBA, etc., and a
contactee also audible (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** EQUATORIAL GUINEA. 15190, I still have not heard R. Africa lately in the
21-23 UT period, but Jan 20 at 1408 a weak carrier is cutting off and on (or
bumping power up and down, maybe not completely off; or is that a co-channel
carrier I still hear? Possibly ZYE622). Some intermittent modulation too; at
1507 a YL preacher, still cutting off (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ETHIOPIA. 9705 Jan 20 at 1512, fair with HOA music; also 9560 has usual het,
from R. Ethiopia transmitters, longpath (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GUAM. 11620, Jan 20 at 1435 Asian language, certainly not AIR GOS in English
as on 9690, only this. Must be KTWR, Korean at 1345-1500 (Sun -1430, Sat -1445)
per HFCC.
9345, Jan 20 at 1510 just as I tune in a VG carrier with tone cuts off; 1511
now I can hear some weak rockish music, YL in Chinese. Scheduled as KTWR at
15-16 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GUATEMALA. 4052.5-, R. Verdad still audible at 1220 UT Jan 20 with hymn,
slightly unstable S9+12 carrier, English talk about a saviour (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** HONDURAS. The two missionary stations are usually audible on 90m before
sunrise: 3250, Jan 20 at 1228 Spanish message to a se?or with musical
background, from HRPC; 3340, Jan 20 at 1230, weak music from R. Misiones
Internacional, HRMI (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KOREA NORTH. 6285, fair Jan 20 at 1244 triumphal choral music, then into YL
soloist. Aoki shows 200 kW, 28 degrees from Kujang with VOK/KCBS Korean
service, about to switch to 325 degrees at 1300 for VOK/R. Pyongyang Korean
service (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MALAYSIA [and non]. RTM Kajang runs some of its transmitters on offset
frequencies, making them easy to spot even if not enough signal to hear any
modulation, as usually the case here. A staple het is on the lo side of HCJB
6050 around 12-13, and Jan 20 at 1215 I am hearing a lower-pitched het on 5965,
i.e. not offset quite so much to that loside, i.e. of CRI Korean via Xi`an
and/or VOR in Chinese via Vladivostok. At 1300 the het is still there as CRI
theme music reopens another hour of Korean scheduled 11-15.
As in DXLD 11-03, recent measurements were 5964.80 at 2335 Jan 13, per Anker
Petersen, Denmark; and 6049.64 at 2342 Jan 7, by Graham Bell, Cape Town (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 710, Jan 20 at 1320, TC for 6:20, ``Ranchera de Cuauht?moc`` SID,
slow SAH and CCI from US stations, i.e. 7 kW XEDP (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST) See also UNIDENTIFIED 660
** MEXICO [and non]. 6010-, blocked by RHC, until about 0710 UT Jan 20, in
Spanish as a bonus to English scheduled until 0700. But after hearing R.
Alcarav?n on 5910 [see COLOMBIA], checked 6010 for the other HJDH at 0712, and
now Cuba is off, and there is a Spanish station, but soon evident it is R. Mil
instead, soft music, 0714 ``11 grados, la temperatura``, Radio Mil promo.
Slightly on the lo side, and some much weaker CCI making very low het,
presumably HJDH (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PHILIPPINES. After at least two days off, R. Blagovest now has accomplished
two days on: 9570, Jan 20 at 1459, instrumental music pr?lude, Radio Veritas
Asia sign-on in English with jazzy background, ``from Quezon City, stay tuned
for a broadcast in Russian at 1500 on 9.570``. 1500 bells and R. Blagovest
opening, VG as are other Philippine sites on 9430, 9760 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** RUSSIA [and non]. 9840 via Pet/Kam, surprised to find VOR English to NAm
propagating well tonight, Jan 20 at 0657 music just as it is about over, much
better than // 9855 Vladivostok. 9840 does have some lite CCI, presumably from
the Moscow R. Rossii transmitter, Russians vs Russians! 0658 sign-off
announcement for NAm, to resume at 23 on 41m; 0659 IS and off.
Meanwhile, RNZI was VG opening 9765 with bellbird, and RA was good on 9710,
9660, see AUSTRALIA, while WYFR was JBA instead of usual inbooming on 9715,
9680, less than Brazil on 9675 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SARAWAK [non]. 6205, Jan 20 at 1242, Malay-sounding conversation, flutter
from R. Free Sarawak via TAJIKISTAN. Reception was much better 24 hours
earlier, and there was not much signal here 0.5 hour earlier either (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9405, Jan 20 at 0702, no signal detectable, not even a JBA carrier
from WINB; is it still there? Meanwhile, FBN 9370v = WTJC ranked a steady S9+20
but quite undermodulated.
WINB continues raiding programming already on other SW stations: 13570, Jan 20
at 1425 ad for a `patriot` internet anonymizer, 1426 ``The Power Hour``,
already on WWCR 7490 and 13845. But it`s not parallel! Same subject, gardening
discussed, and I eventually calculate that WINB is running 2 minutes and 2
seconds behind WWCR! Which explains why Joyce Riley gave a 2-minute-late
timecheck. The audio of this on WINB has some of that annoying processing,
which is exacerbated on WWCR. WINB carrier as always unstable, but VG signal
strength now.
?Is this reflected on the WINB program schedule at
http://www.winb.com/schedule.htm
Of course not, even tho it`s updated to January 2, still claiming that Good
Friends Radio Network runs M-F straight thru from 13 to 20 UT, Sat 15-22, and
on 9405 at 0330-1130 seven nights a week. That didn`t last very long.
?What about http://www.thepowerhour.com/
Nothing found about WINB there; only mentions 7.490 for SW, and live time is
7-10 am CST [13-16 UT, M-F only presumably]. Still going on 13570 at 1506
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENINIG DIGEST)
** U S A. 4050-, KWMO, Jan 20 at 0716 makes only S9+3, not enough to overcome
the noise level on 3 x 1350, unlike 24 hours earlier (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 4045-USB, Jan 20 at 1223 I hear some SSB scratching to the low side
of GUATEMALA, so tune down here. Weak signals, heard Fort Myers mentioned, then
discussing Saturday and Sunday plans. It`s the net Bob Wilkner has reported
several times, the Marine Weather Center, from Lakeland FL, and vessels are
charged a subscription fee to participate, details at
http://mwxc.com/services.php
Including different schedules for summer and winter, currently:
Nets conducted 6 days/week, Monday through Saturday.
``WINTER: Effective during US Standard Time (November into March):
8137 USB 7:00am AST / 6:00am EST, 1100 UTC
4045 USB 7:30am AST / 6:30am EST, 1130 UTC
8104 USB 8:30am AST / 7:30am EST, 1230 UTC
12350 USB 9:30am AST / 8:30am EST, 1330 UTC
6221 USB 10am AST / 9am EST, 1400 UTC
When Tropical weather has the potential to threaten any interests I'm aware of
(and occasionally during periods of Spring & Fall migration), we'll conduct an
evening Net, usually on 8104 USB at 7:00pm AST / 6:00pm EST, 2300 UTC, unless
announced otherwise.``
I can`t find anything resembling a callsign, but the guy behind all this is one
Chris Parker (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 3308-SSB, Jan 20 at 1232, AF MARS net with NCS AFF7KS and several
others in informal comments, then strictly formatted message traffic about
local weather conditions somewhere. Het from 3310, constant local mixing
product of KGWA and KCRC, i.e. 2 x 960 + 1390. Per
http://www.afmars.org/officials.shtml
AFF7KS is State MARS Director Kansas, Sherm Yacher (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9540, Jan 20 at 1250 strong open carrier. Likely WHRI, which is
registered at 13-15 daily, but only uses it a fraxion of that time on weekends
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9955, Thu Jan 20 at 1606, WORLD OF RADIO 1548 audible from WRMI, poor
signal but not jammed. Next chance 2200 probably will be jammed. Rely on: UT
Fri 0430 on WWRB 3185, 2130 on WWCR 7465, et al. (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1210 kHz, Jan 20 at 1330, KGYN OK in open carrier, allowing KHAT ID
clearly with one-sesquihertz SAH, Mike & Mike in the Morning, then Sports
Center news. KHAT is Laramie WY, should still be on night power 1 kW instead of
10 kW day (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. Seldom is heard on radio any more the Star Spangled Banner, but there
it was on 1600 at the odd time of 1335 UT Jan 20, then segu? to another anthem,
unfamiliar, a state song? Certainly not Oklahoma! Ah, must have been South
Vietnam`s, as song and announcements in Vietnamese followed at 1338 from KRVA,
The Metroplex, TX.
YL says ``Good morning`` before resuming Vietnamese. Just signing on? Surely
not, as NRC AM Log says NSP, but up to 25 kW day power from 930 watts night.
FCC official sunrise is 1330 UT for January, sunset 2345; February: 1315-2415.
Was atop signals from Denver, heard mentioned at tune-in, and the constant
off-frequency audible het from KMDO, Fort Scott KS (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** VENEZUELA [non]. 11705, Jan 20 at 1253, S9+20 open carrier instead of RNV
relay via Cuba until 1300 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 660, Jan 20 at 1317, plug for La Hora Nacional, then sounded like
Caliente mentioned and calls XEFW, neither of which figures on this frequency.
Maybe Aguascalientes, the 50 kW XEEY (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1670, quite a mystery here, Jan 20 at 1340 UT, rosary in Spanish,
loops roughly NW/SE, then praise song in Spanish. WTDY Madison no problem but
can hear it in null of unID. Ranges from deep fades to good peaks. 1345 YLs
still discussing, or addressing ``Santa Mar?a, Madre de Dios``, more low-key
talk. Fast SAH of about 15 Hz, 1348 losing signal. The only US Spanish station
on 1670 per NRC AM Log is KHPY in Moreno Valley CA, address in Burbank.
El Sembrador Ministries is Catholic, so that fits, but the trouble is, KHPY has
an extremely direxional pattern toward the SW, altho nite power is 9 kW vs day
power 10 kW, instead of the usual 1 kW night on X-band. No doubt they do
rosaries, but a specific program schedule is lacking at
http://www.esneradio.com/cms/index.php?page=programacion
I have been paying more attention to 1670, since news arrived of a new station
near Mexico City, XEANAH, at Universidad de An?huac, Huixquilucan, Estado de
M?xico; 1 kW day and night per Fred Cant?`s website via Terry Krueger, and this
is its website: http://www.anahuac.mx/radio/
Streaming worx, heard at 1743 except it`s just a music loop. Program grid
http://www.anahuac.mx/radio/programacion.html shows an eclectic format, and
``Tres Bambalinas`` when I am listening. Not in my Random House dixionary, but
Google says that means ``Three Scenes``.
The inauguration ceremony was just this morning at 1430 UT, and a live video
webcast was apparently available. Video still running, but audio is annoyingly
off-mike, about something else at 1800: http://www.livestream.com/sintaxistv
But the History webpage for XEANAH says the radio station started in February
2004. Do they mean on the web, or some other radio frequency? I vaguely
remember hearing about it before.
BTW, the Talking House in NW Enid on 1670 is still audible out to a few miles
away at low-noise spots in western Enid on caradio, but not enough to block DX
like this beyond its immediate neighborhood (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING

Zambia National Broadcasting Corporation-ZNBC has assured Kapiri Mposhi
residents, in the Central Province that work is on going to restore Radio 1 and
2 services.
Radio 1 and 2 channels have been off air since January 2 following lightening
that struck off and destroyed Zamtel Equipment that carries the ZNBC Radio
Signal.
Public Relations Officer Masuzyo Ndhlovu says following the impact of damage,
there is a disruption of ZNBC 1 and 2 FM (Frequency Modulation) services in
Kampiri Mposhi and Surrounding areas.
Public Relations Officer Masuzyo Ndhlovu however says frantic efforts are being
made by the technical team to ensure service is restored to normal within
shortest possible time.
In a statement to ZNBC News in Lusaka on Saturday, Mr Ndhlovu has advised
listeners to search for signals by tuning into the ZNBC Short Wave frequencies
for Radio 1 on 5915 Kilo hertz and Radio 2 on 6165 Kilo
Hertz.(http://www.znbc.co.zm/media/news/viewnews.cgi?category=8&id=1295100450)

Guyana, 3290, Voice of Guyana, 2310-2320, Noted a
number of persons in English
language comments. Believe I heard a female in there
as well as two different males.
Signal was fair so far. (Chuck Bolland, January 20,
2011)
Bolivia, 3310. Radio Mosoj Chaski, 2315-2325, Noted a
male in Spanish language
comments way down in the noise. Signal was very
threshold as far as the audio
was concerned, but the RF carrier was just poor.
(Chuck Bolland, January 20, 2011)
Bolivia, 4699.97, Radio San Miguel, 2325-2335, Noted a
male in Spanish Language
comments. Very emotional comments by the way. Signal
was fair at this time.
(Chuck Bolland, January 20, 2011)
Peru, 4824.462, La Voz de la Selva, 2335-2345, Another
one of those signals where
the display is good, but the audio is in the noise and
QRM. Noted a male talking
in Spanish briefly, the music presented. (Chuck
Bolland, January 20, 2011)
Unident, 4865.038, 2344-0145, Have a definite carrier
on this frequency with a
female in comments. Audio is very weak, so can't pull
out any details from the
comments or which language is being spoken. There's a
second signal on
4864.576KHz which has a good display, but the audio is
buried in the noise.
Trying to pull out some audio to no avail. Both
signals had threshold audio.
At 0023, the signal on 4865.038 began to fade in where
the language could
be Identified and it turned out to be Portuguese.
Station on 4865.576 still
too weak to pull out details or language by 0145. So
giving up for now.
(Chuck Bolland, January 20, 2011)
Peru, 4954.999, Radio Cultura Amauta, 0003-0015, Noted
two males in
a news program. One sounded like he's in the studio
and the second
reporting via telephone or remote hookup. Notice that
"Amauta" was
mentioned often. Signal was good. (Chuck Bolland,
January 21, 2011)
China, 4979.991, People's Broadcasting Station,pres.,
0011-0020, Noted a male
and female in comments over music. Guessing that this
is PBS, Xinjiang because of
the format of live comments in Chinese between the male
and female. I think
I had a parallel on 5060.00 KHz. Signal was poor.
