** AUSTRALIA. 2325 & 2485, Jan 31 at 1249, two VL8s poorly audible vs noise level, both in talk and could be //. Too much 4840 WWCR to hear 4835 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BOLIVIA. 4717, Jan 31 at 0046, Andean flute music, flutter, better than 4747 Perú; 0054 Spanish announcement, presumed R. Yatun Ayllu Yura, Yura, on its unique frequency. At least its carrier is often detectable around this time (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CANADA. Re: ``UNIDENTIFIED. 900, Jan 14 at 0644 UT, `Coast to Coast` audible among the QRM, but no affiliates found on 900 at C2C website, either by Google search or by looking at individual likely mid-continent state listings. A new one? Ideas? Should check C2C later in case it`s updated (Glenn hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)``
CHML has Coast to Coast 0100-0500 [EST], per its web site – DY (David Yocis, NRC DX News Feb 4)
I didn`t think to check for Canada, but anyway
http://www.coasttocoastam.com/stations/canada
does not include CHML Hamilton Ont. or any other 900 station. What do they know? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** EAST TURKISTAN. 4980, 5060 and 4850, Jan 31 at 0047-0048, the Urumqi trio all audible with different PBS Xinjiang services, Uighur, Chinese and Kazakh respectively. 4980 with Turkic talk, 5060 definitely Chinese, and 4850 too poor to tell (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GUIANA FRENCH. 9606 & 9374, Jan 31 at 0053, matching spurs with some hum at poor level from 9490 R. República, which was still undermodulated, and jamming also audible under (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDIA [and non]. 4896, Jan 31 at 0052, carrier here making a het against stronger 4895, so looks like AIR Kurseong is off-frequency again, vs perhaps Brasil; also CODAR (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 1210, Jan 31 at 0642, open carrier/dead air from E/W, no doubt KGYN Guymon, and still failing to null Philadelphia at night (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. Channel A48, KOCY-LP OKC is still on the air in analog, as boosted by area tropo, warming up from a low circa freezing, Jan 31 at 1400-1455+ UT with partially musical movie in Spanish but with some English dialog, from Estrella TV, ``El Preso No. 9``.
But on the analog set, no sign of KUOT-CA channel 19, so has it finally flashed to DTV? Yes, barely decoding signal with gospel huxter, bearing logo and website http://www.ctvn.org and matching what W9WI.com shows, affiliation with E:COR, i.e. Cornerstone network, no subchannels. They are in their live winter telethon for another day.
Other minor OKC DTV signals: KUOK-CD 36, Univisión is not quite decoding, unless allowed to remap to KTUZ 29 full power, where KUOK is a hidden subchannel. KOHC-CD 45 is unseen, instead getting KOTV Tulsa altho aimed at OKC! KOCM 46 Norman is not decoding either. Not even a `bad` DTV signal detectable on 41 from listed KXOC-LP OKC with Tuff TV, and I never see it in analog either.
I see that W9WI.com now shows a 62.4 from RF 50 KOPX OKC, Ion TV which dropped all its fourth channels a year or two ago, as ShopTV --- and so it is. How wonderful (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PERU. 4835, Jan 30 at 2337, JBA carrier from perhaps Ondas del Sur Oriente, Quillabamba, its new frequency ex-5120 reported by Pedro F. Arrunátegui, Lima. This time I am checking well before WWCR starts 4840 at 0100. Next try at 0050: better on LSB, can barely make out some enthusiastic talk, could be Spanish. Also always CODAR. 0058 a little stronger, but nothing more copied before WWCR blasts on at *0059:25. Now it`s quickly over to 5980 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PERU [and non]. 5980, UT Jan 31 at 0045, two signals, the CNR1 jammer, and probably the other is R. Chaski rather than jammer target VOA Tibetan via Sri Lanka. 0059, another check: Chinese jammer again cuts off at 0100* sharp after 5-pip timesignal, uncovering music, harp? Very poor in noise level: if only the ChiCom would leave an unmodulated carrier on to suppress it. At 0101:25 once again the muffled announcement unseems Spanish; 0102:25 music and talk mixed, and by 0104 I can tell it`s Spanish. Watching my watch this time and carrier cuts abruptly at exactly 0104:56, i.e. for the third night in a row within a few sex of this time.
Rafael Rodríguez has found a webpage for R. Chaski including photos:
http://www.bmmcusco.org/RadioChaski/
Axually hardly anything but some photos; not surprisingly, they do show a Quechua announcer, whom I think I have been hearing. Also shows some fix-tuned receivers, no doubt Galcom. Dear DXer, consider yourself blessèd that you do not have to use one. R. Chaski is run by Bruce Maddux, Baptist missionary who shares his gmail address with Debbie; along with Radio Mensajero 94.9 FM, and Chaski is also on AM 630 --- not in WRTH 2013; in fact not listing any Peruvians on 630, but one on 634, R. Cajamarca. Has anyone DXed such a split? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PERU. Other presumed Peruvian signals audible, 5460, Jan 31 at 0049 with JBA carrier, R. Bolívar; 4775 at 0055 music, yelling, R. Tarma (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1650, Jan 31 at 0616, M&W in Spanish discussion, accents sufficiently Mexican, mentions a price as 40 centavos, so with rough bearing N/S, I`m hoping it`s XEAZR at last, tho I don`t think their format is talk. It`s been DXed from Europe to New Zealand, but hardly any from USA, least of all OK. Dashed at 0618 when they mention ``los niños de Colorado``, so just KBJD Denver, Radio Luz (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 2660, Jan 30 at 1352, JBA music, presumably KGLD Tyler TX x 2. In Feb, official sunrise will be at 1300 instead of 1330 UT, so that should be the best chance for a bit better signal on 1330 kHz 1 kW day power. Also Jan 31 at 1239 a JBA carrier when 1330 should be on 500 watt PSRA power (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 2240-, Jan 31 at 1220, Spanish talk and music, maybe mentioning 1170, but that doesn`t work as a fundamental. Might have been 560 = x4, the only other possibility being 1120. Anyhow with this format at this time and on an even harmonic, it can`t be WCKL 560. 1224 the music is really hyper; 1229 weakening; 1232 maybe gospel harmony in the music; fading to JBA at 1237, and JBA carrier with traces of music at 1246.
Meanwhile checked XEVT Tabasco on 2910: at 1222 in Spanish it`s axually weaker than 2240, and has also faded to JBA by 1240. So I suspect 2240 is also from eastern Mexico or maybe Central America. Another harmonic to chase! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
