** ANGUILLA. The PMS station, a.k.a. Caribbean Beacon, but never giving any local IDs as such, continues to be irregular on SW. Jan 22 at 0626 check, not heard on 6090 where it normally inbooms; instead a couple weak signals SAHing, maybe including Nigeria. But it was back the next night (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** AUSTRALIA. RA, 6020, good signal during discussion of poetry, UT Fri Jan 23 at 1352, but chopped program off before it finished at 1358 for one minute of RA IS, and off at 1359* Grrrrrr!!!! Standard rant about RA among other stations chopping off programs before they finish. This was All in the Mind, which we are glad to see has survived the latest dumbing-down cuts at ABC Radio National, so we can still go back and get it via:
http://www.abc.net.au/rn/allinthemind/default.htm
Or did it? This and other recent shows turn out to be reruns from last year, like April; so are any new ones being produced? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. Late UT Jan 22 tuned around the RHC frequencies to see what SNAFUs I could report. Both colliders 11690 and 9600 were in middle of Spanish programming at 2314, on much earlier than claimed; 11690 quite strong, and DW Rwanda somewhat audible underneath; 9600 relatively weak and colliding with even weaker Vatican Radio IS, direct to Vietnam. At 2322 found the RHC IS on 6000, except the transmitter was cutting off and on every few seconds, never allowing a single iteration of the IS to play thru. A test? Still doing that at 2328.
By 2330 that was done and instead we heard R. Praga in Spanish as usual on 6000. RHC`s 9820 was not on the air at first check 2322, but it was with OC at 2327, NA at 2329 and opening just before 2330 introduced as a program about the new social security law in Cuba, but then immediately into a 5-heroes promo. Claimed also to be on 6000. 9820 was not // the RHC programming on 11690 and 9600. 9820 is designated as the Mesa Redonda (roundtable) show, but that was not mentioned (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. Rather surprised to hear Oprah on 9385, WWRB, Jan 22 at 1436, interviewing a Rev. Bacon who maintained that being gay is a gift from God. Is this really the Overcomer Ministry? Yes, // WINB 9265v as usual. Ahá, she is chopped off at 1440 so that Brother Scare can blast her and any such ideas as being Sodom-and-Gomorrah-ish, a major abomination, says the know-it-all-even-the-future who was jailed for heterosexual misdeeds (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. Not only does the jailed Tony Alámo continue broadcasting on R. Africa and WWCR, but also on WINB, as heard Jan 22 at 2316 tuneby 9265v, when he conveniently referred to himself in the third person, about visiting some guy running for president (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WRMI, 9955, Fri Jan 23 at 0600 with Frecuencia al Día DX program, starting off with the Univisión/Televisa story; no jamming audible for a change. This time is not on the latest publicity distributed by José Bueno, altho that has finally been updated.
It does appear on the latest WRMI sked revision dated Jan 17 at http://www.wrmi.net/program.php?id=94
for Friday 1 am, which is in EST, UT-5.
This schedule now has more detail of the DX and other program content in several time blox, but still not including M-F 1530-1700 UT (10:30 am - noon EST). On Fri Jan 23 I found Frecuencia al Día again, ending at 1700 on webcast. I have compiled all the times shown for the DX and some other programs in a separate item for next DXLD 9-007 (Glenn Hauser, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 6074, the one-minute V/CQ marker back in synch, starting just after the late timesignal finalizing the emissions of R. Rossii, 6075 until 1400 Jan 23. It was quite weak, and too much splash from CFRX to be certain the ID sent at the end of the message this time was 8GAL. Occasionally in the past a different tactical call has been sent tho probably from same transmitter whose exact location remains unknown, tho probably in eastern Russia. Only a few weeks ago one could hardly have imagined there would be enough signal from CFRX 6070 be a problem (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 11435.0, big open carrier with fading at 0555 Jan 23. Finally at 0603 a brief burst of some kind of digital data and back to OC; digital bursts again at 0607. At this time S America was inbooming on 25m, 11805 Chile, e.g.
A search of the 19,454 posts so far in the UDXF yg gets only one hit on this frequency: ``11435.0 --- : Enigma's S06 05:30 J3E/USB Russian Female voice call up adjiem sjet tri into repeated 5F msg ending 00000 (02/Jul/2008) (Peter Poelstra, The Netherlands, NRD 545 / ALA 1530 loop / HOKA code 300-32 / CWget / PC-HFDL)``
``adjiem`` must mean what in standard Russian would be `odin`, so was it some other Slavic language? Unseems likely what I heard, no voice, would be propagating from Europe, and this was full carrier (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###
