** CHINA. CNR1 jammers morning of Nov 18:
15940, Nov 18 at 1331, JBA talk with flutter, probably this, and I am certainly not going to guess it`s Sound of Hope target instead
13530, Nov 18 at 1346, CNR1 jammer, very good with flutter, CODAR QRM; none in the 14s, 16s, 17s
12980, Nov 18 at 1346, CNR1 jammer, just like 13530
None in the 10s or low 11s (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** IRAN. 11730, Nov 18 at 1404, good signal but mostly hum, suppressed modulation. Wiggle that patchcord! It`s VIRI Urdu service, 1250-1420, 500 kW, 118 degrees from Kamalabad. (Belarus is also scheduled to be on 11730 at 11-23, 150 kW, 246 degrees from Minsk, but no sign of it now nor hardly ever) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OMAN. 15140, Nov 18 at 1411, RSO English with interview about how to open up a business; where`s our rock music? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 21412-USB, Nov 17 at 2115, W1VDE in Oregon (not New England) with the ``Pacific Net``, calling for contacts. Quite a character; says ``We don`t care about your equipment, but your brain, eyes and ears``. First contact is with KK4SSH (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. 9370, Nov 18 at 1354, WWRB is not yet on so I hear something else: good signal but heavy flutter, about the Mideast situation; 1402 about Pakistan, Afghanistan, appropriately, since Aoki shows it`s VOA Deewa Radio at 13-19 in Pashto, 250 kW, 340 degrees from Iranawila, SRI LANKA, undeterred from the other worldside by the BS from Walterboro aimed 45 degrees from WWRB for ``eastern Canada``, but which also blasts in here due westward (nor VOA Korean via Thailand at 19-21 on 9370). WWRB is listed for 13-24 UT, but QSY times from and to 3185 or 5050 always vary (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1747 monitoring: confirmed on Global 24 via WRMI 9395, Monday November 17 at 2201.
After the ID there was only about half a minute of news headlines; I don`t quite see the point of that. A full service station ought to have regular newscasts of at least 5 minutes, but OTOH there is plenty of that on domestic radio, and various 29-minute programs plus full newscasts cannot be crammed into half an hour. Time is also needed for commercials. Instead of news-on-the-hour, maybe G24 could feature longer news in depth but less frequently.
Next WORLD OF RADIO chances:
UT Wednesday 0401 on Global 24 via WRMI 9395
Wednesday 0730 & 1530 on Hamburger Lokalradio 7265-CUSB
Wednesday 1415 on WRMI 9955
Wednesday 2200 on WBCQ 7490v
Wednesday 2201 on Global 24 via WRMI 9395
UT Thursday 0430 on WRMI 9955 (unless new 1748 be ready)
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. 9395, Nov 18 at 1333, Global 24 via WRMI is carrying KBS World Radio, going from one segment to another in their ``Tuesday Corner``, while 15575 direct has degraded to a JBA carrier. So that`s helpful altho 9395 is only fair with the usual ACI squeeze.
At 1401 recheck, now 9395 is relaying NHK World Radio Japan, with `Insight` segment at 1406 when I also hear it on 11925 due west from PALAU, where it`s a bit better despite ACI from 11930 jamming and Martí. 9395 is running 33 seconds behind 11925.
These two are contrary to G24`s full schedule as of Nov 14, which shows on Tuesdays at 13-14, Classical Worldwide; 14-15 Old Time Radio - drama. So plugged into WRN instead? WRN North American schedule does have KBS at 13-14, but not NHK at 1400-1430, instead Poland. Didn`t check what was on at 1430-1500.
Here`s a discussion of Global 24`s funding and programming plans:http://about.global24radio.com/tonights-schedule-2/#comments
After 1500, G24 is still carrying `Democracy Now`. It`s one of the programs they say ``needs sponsors. Consider sponsoring it here``:http://about.global24radio.com/programs/news-bulletins/democracy-now/
At least that program now penetrates the borders of Oklahoma where it has no affiliate at all. (O, it does, too: perhttp://www.democracynow.org/stations/oklahoma
noon CST M-F on KCCU HD2 out of Lawton, which is equivalent to none: plus some of its several repeaters which employ HD2. None of these in western, southern OK reach Enid with main channel, let alone IBOC.
DN also on Part 15 outlet in Cowlington, eastern OK, Lazer 1610, a.k.a. `KKRP`. And at same place, `KHXI` on 99.9, another unreal station, and an unbelievable frequency with 100 kW KTCS in nearby Fort Smith AR on 99.9. Link to it does not work, but check out KKRP for webcasts at least) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 5085, Nov 18 at 0641, WTWW-2 is back on and // 5830 WTWW-1 with SFAW talking about sweating (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1140, Nov 18 at 1318 UT, Spanish news about latest earthquakes in Kansas including one near Anthony which is right close to the OK border, but we didn`t feel that one. Nor did any Kansans make the latest USGS list which they admit is not complete:http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/map/
1320 UT ``Ésta es Radio-Noticias 11-40``, then ad for Sears. With English pronunciation, while in México it`s ``Say-Arse``. (BTW, Enid`s Sears is Going Out of Business by January; everything must go at discounts. So our only mall loses another of its major anchor stores).
So this 1140 is KCXL Independence MO (KC market) with its partial-Spanish schedule. Not to be confused with WQBA Miami, which per tunein.com also slogans ``Noticias 11-40``, but which is ``not available now`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1610, Nov 18 circa 0130 UT on caradio, I`m hearing IBOC-like noise, so has 1600 St Louis or Denver resumed it after months of respite? Can`t get any fix with ND antenna, and when I get home can`t hear it on the DX-398. Possibly could also come out of a 1620 station (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
