** ALASKA. 7355, Feb 14 at 1448, surprised to encounter KNLS in English during this hour, fair signal which is as good as it ever gets here, way off the back of the beam; ID, Dale Crowe introducing a gospel rock song, 1452 `Creation Moment`, as true gospel huxters believe they have to try to debunk Science in order to justify their own warped view of Reality; 1457 song (hymn?) ``Ugly as a Toad``.
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 Büschel 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, ``Blessèd 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 Büschel 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 coördination 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 São Tomé --- too little propagation, too much skip zone that early inside Africa? (Glenn Hauser, OK, 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)
