** ANTARCTICA. 15476, Feb 28 at 1334, still no carrier from LRA36, tho there
was a weak one on 15480 from Turkey. Roberto Scaglione reports they plan to
start this week on an 11-18 UT schedule, so we need to keep checking until
1800. At 1710, I could almost imagine I was hearing a carrier, but this was on
DX-398 portable outside with reel-out since household noise sources were on by
then (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake Feb 28:
7470 at 1257; not on 8400 at this time
9360 at 1330, still not on 8400
Aoki shows 7470 is RFA in Tibetan at 11-14 via Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, and of
course *jammed. RFA also on 7470 from other sites at 14-17, 22-24, 01-03, all
jammed except lucky/insignificant Cantonese at 14-15. Nothing specific on 9360
except Sound of Hope jumping around between 9300 and 9380, so 9360 its presumed
landing spot today (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [and non]. 9955, Monday Feb 28 at 1230, nothing but DentroCuban Jamming
Command`s wall of noise blocking WORLD OF RADIO on WRMI. Tnx a lot, Arnie! Next
WRMI chances are Mon 2230, Tue 1630, Wed 0200, 1630 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** GUAM. 9975, Feb 28 at 1231, KTWR IS, 1232 ID pronounced in English as KTWR,
Agana, Guam, into Chinese. She said Agana, not Aga?a. I wonder what the
percentages are for each among natives/residents of Guam, or should I say
Guahan. HFCC shows `cmn` presumably meaning Chinese Mandarin, daily 1230-1330
at 305 degrees. Aoki refines this to Sun-Fri in Chinese at 315 degrees,
Saturday at 1230-1300 in Hui at 305 degrees. EiBi misses the latter, but all
three show strange variations in the 1130-1500 period (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** GUAM. 5765-USB, AFN still AWOL, Feb 28 at 1255 check (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** SPAIN. It`s gone again --- the nominal M-F 1330-1400 Basque service from
REE. 17595, Monday Feb 28 at 1335 still in Castilian, no explanation, as if
programming is normal, so I am forced to listen to a language I can understand:
about Academy Awards, 1336 sports capsule, 1337 REE ID, 1338 `Heliotrope` talk
on subject ``la m?sica es una terapia para todo ser humano``, mentioning
handicapped achievers such as el ciego Maestro [Joaqu?n] Rodrigo, 1342 song in
Spanish, ``Te Amo`` by an English performer who can`t walk (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U K [non]. 7540, Feb 28 at 1257, B-B-C- chimes, good but with flutter and no
QRM. 1259:30 BBC signing on in Chinese --- dare we hope the service to follow
will be equally clear? Of course not! At 1300 a second timesignal starts
mixing, and then a second broadcast in Chinese. Aoki shows BBC as 1300-1530
M-F, 250 kW, 20 degrees via Nakhon Sawan, THAILAND, so also USward, with *CNR1
jamming. Why not just give up?
21550, first check of 13m today finds this the OSOB, and then as Spain fades
in, the SSOB, Feb 28 at 1346 in Hausa with DW jingles, 1350 ID. Is via PORTUGAL
at 13-14, 145 degrees, following French at 12-13, 170 degrees (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. 9526-, VOI on the air today, Feb 28 at 1323 about folk
traditions, YL in halting English, subject not clear, maybe tatooing. IADs but
VG signal. Toward end of this `Indonesian Wonder` segment, IAD of at least 5
seconds. 1326 on to `Let`s Speak Bahasa Indonesia` easily and carefully, repeat
after me (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** LIBYA. 17725, Feb 28 at 1404, very poor signal, unseems English, probably
Swahili running late again. Not checked again until 1439, now English with
usual announcers, and 21695 also audible better. 1449 usual half-wrong
frequency announcement claiming 21695 and 17850; stuff about Africa, 1457
Morocco mentioned. All that I heard sounded placid and normal, not yet any
rebels breaking in and taking over the station. How much longer? (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 15500-USB, Feb 28 at 1711, WJHR Milton FL (NOT CA = California as in
Aoki and copiers), on new frequency ex-15500. No ID but usual gospel huxter,
and missing from 15550-USB where it had been since starting in December 2009.
Tnx to a tip from Mark Coady, Ontario, who first reported 15500 (altho typoed
at first as 15400), Feb 25 at 1610 and on LSB, but it`s definitely still USB,
no carrier when I hear it. QSY escapes the collision with 500 kW from Iran on
15550 until 1630, and nothing else at all scheduled on 15500 between 1400 and
2200 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [non]. 11750, good with VOA news, including backgrounder by Andr? de
Nesnera on Libya, Feb 28 at 1235. This is the only hour for VOA English on this
frequency, 250 kW, 21 degrees from Tinang, PHILIPPINES, so also USward (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** VATICAN [non]. Re whether VR is in Spanish or English at 1200 on 9865 via
Sackville. Rechecked Feb 28 at 1209 and it`s still back in English, clip of
PBXVI and then announcer both in English. Since I have only checked this
sporadically, not every day by any means, who knows whether it might be equally
sporadically in either language (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Pacific MW carrier search, Feb 28 starting precisely at
sunrise in Enid, 1304 UT on DX-398 in offset USB mode: 1314, 1305, 1296, 1242,
1134, 1116, 1053, 972, 882, 828, 774, 747, 666, 612, 594. Then I went up from
1314: 1566 and 1611 ---
The last looped WSW instead of NW like the others, which fits for Australia,
where WRTH lists 17 ``high-power open narrowcast stations``, HP meaning max 400
watts! And there are no Asians or other Pacificans on 1611. I double-checked
the frequency and it was right on 1611, so unlikely to have been a US TIS
variant. Still, it`s hard to believe I would even be getting such a carrier.
The 100 kW VL8s on 120m were not audible today.
In my scans there may be others only 1 kHz from 10-kHz channels which I simply
can`t detect due to the QRM; thus those logged above end in -2, -3, -4, -5, -6,
-7, or -8. But 1610, of course, has no broadcasters of normal power in the US,
just HAR/TIS (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

Christchurch [New Zealand]
Earthquake
Radio Services Status 2
__________________________
Access to the CBD radio studios of many Christchurch radio
broadcasters continues to be denied by the civil defence authorities
a week after the devasting earthquake hit this New Zealand city of
350,000.
Radio New Zealand, The Radio Network and Radioworks all have studios
within the cordoned off zone and engineers are still working through
city buildings to determine whether they are safe for temporary or
permanent access and use.
NewstalkZB is now carrying its news coverage across 1017,1098 and
1503 AM and 106.5 AM [replacing Hauraki Amp'd], RDU 98.5 has returned
to the air from temporary studios whilst Tahu 90.5 now refers to
Christchurch as Quake City and has been heard carrying iwi network
programs.
Local community access Plains FM has studios at the Christchurch
Polytech campus and is now using its transmitter to broadcast the BBC
World Service from London as an emergency measure.
Radio Ferrymead 1413AM in the badly hit Ferrymead area was silent
during its usual weekend schedule, and destroyed or damaged local
LPFM stations now include One-Eyed FM [Aranui], Beachbreak FM [South
New Brighton] and The Wave [Sumner].
Power Hits Radio 87.8 in St Albans and Akaroa FM have both been
carrying earthquake coverage from the emergency nationwide local
network anchored by Classic Gold FM in Invercargill in association
with Splash FM on Waiheke Island.
The status of new community station Compass FM 104.9 FM in Rangiora
is unclear, it had been testing recently and its studios and
facilities are available but don't appear to be utilised at present
for some reason.
A full listing of Christchurch area AM and FM stations is online at
www.radioheritage.com and is regularly being updated. It's at the
home page under the header 'Christchurch Earthquake 2011'.

Hi
On the New Zealand Radio DX League website I've put up a Google
Earthquake People Finder gadget which may assist people in finding
friends/family displaced during the Earthquake.
I've also been having people from Overseas and around NZ email me
webmas...@radiodx.com asking about individual Christchurch DXers.
I have just started putting up a list of Christchurch DXers but only
with their permission on the website http://radiodx.com/nzrdxl/
If you have any concerns or queries about a Christchurch DXer who is
not listed, please feel free to contact me at edi...@radiodx.com or
webmas...@radiodx.com and I will try to assist.
