Glenn Hauser logs February 27, 2015


** GOA [and non]. 11775, Feb 27 at 1420, PMS ANGUILLA mixing with an open carrier making rapid SAH, presumably the AIR Nepali service at 1330-1430 via Panaji, except failing to modulate (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GUYANA. 3290-, Feb 27 at 0654, Voice of Guyana attains poor-fair carrier level, but just barely modulated, presumably with BBCWS (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KOREA SOUTH [non]. 9395, Fri Feb 27 at 1430, Global 24 via WRMI, with WRN ID and into KBS World Radio. This is contrary to G24 sked at http://www.tinyurl.com/G24sked
which shows `Jazz from the Left` Fridays at 14-16 UT. 

When is KBSWR supposed to be on? It shows:
Sunday thru Friday 0900-1000
Monday 2000 (followed by Israel Radio and Vatican Radio until 2100)
Saturday 2100-2200. 
KBS no doubt occupies various otherwise unspecified WRN blox, but when I heard it is not even one of those. Anyhow, if you happen to catch it on 9395, this is a great improvement over KBS direct to ``North America`` on 15575 at 1300-1400 which is subject to degraded or no propagation at least until spring/summer (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KUWAIT [non]. 21540, Feb 27 at 1412, R. Kuwait still AWOL, while 21505 Riyadh continues to propagate (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SUDAN [and non]. 15550, Feb 27 at 1523, surprised to hear no Radio Tamazuj, but the Sudanese tone jammer is already on, messing with WJHR USB. No signal on 15400 either, both of which had been VATICAN broadcasting Tamazuj without jamming at 1500-1530; another SMG transmitter is as usual on 15100 with unreasonably big signal relaying RVA in Filipino away from us, so it`s hardly accidental or a power problem that 15400 & 15550 are missing. I hunt thru the entire 19m band and do not find them anywhere else. 

13800, however, is still on at 1525 with R. Tamazuj, ID at 1529 closing and 1530 into R. Dabanga, only fair signal. Then I go back to 15550 and find that has now come on with Dabanga too vs WJHR and tone jamming which got a head start. 13800 is listed as MADAGASCAR at 1500-1600, but the second half of Dabanga at 1600-1630 scheduled to switch back to Vatican, unchecked today. Latest HFCC of Feb 27 shows SMG still supposed to be on 15400 and 15550 starting at 1500 thru March 28 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9395, Feb 27 at 1520, Global 24 via WRMI apparently just finished an unscheduled European News Net airing with their waltz theme, into survivalist commercial. This is during the 14-16 Friday period when `Jazz from the Left` is supposed to appear. See also KOREA SOUTH [non] (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 17775, Feb 27 at 1414, KVOH signal has built up to day level earlier than usual, but correlates with earlying sunrises and westward ionization. However, from March 8 it will no doubt start signing on an hour earlier at 1300, putting it back into the dark zone for starters (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 17790, Feb 27 at 1414, gospel music and not // 15770 or other Overcomer frequencies, so Radio Africa Network via WRMI is back, after a bihour of BS yesterday (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9265, Feb 27 at 1519, no signal from WINB. Only a biweek ago did they start broadcasting weekdays as early as 1400, with `Manning Report`. Aha, a new sked dated March 1 has already been posted at http://www.winb.com/schedule.htm
showing weekday start is now 1600, with `Classic Redneck Radio`, so Manning sure didn`t last long --- found coverage was inadequate? What was it about? What else but, as described in Wikipedia: ``Through the ATLAH church, Manning hosts an online series called The Manning Report, which features criticism on such topics as the negative influence of black celebrities, homosexuality and the alleged criminal acts of current U.S. President Barack Obama.``  `TruNews` M-F at 19-20 is also gone, replaced by `Voice of Evangelism`. No doubt there are further changes amongst all the gospel huxters. Saturday start is now 1500; Sunday 1230. Listened online to a minute of `Redneck` Feb 27 at 1652 --- it`s talk about survivalism, stockpiling food so you don`t have to eat slugs out in the field! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1530, Feb 27 at 0659 UT, Arkansas religious event calendar continues past 0700 UT, atop the BS from WCKY, so it`s again the cheatin` KVDW England AR, 2.5 kW `daytimer`, for whom breaking FCC rules and licensing is obviously no sin (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1600, Feb 27 at 0657 UT, ID in passing as KGYM, weather and local sports for Iowa. First I did double-take as sounded like KGYN, which is already taken by 1210 Guymon OK. This on FRG-7 with E-W longwire; surprised to have this dominating 1600 rather than St Louis or Denver or even Vietnam [non]. Forget about my closest, KUSH Cushing OK, only 70 watts at night. 

KGYM is 5/5 kW U2 in Cedar Rapids (which I cheekily abbr. ``CRap``). ``The Gym``, and guess what its format is? (hint: not nudism). This was originally KCRG (as in channel ``9`` TV too) until Oct 20, 2006. Licensee is now KZIA Inc., so is there a New Mexico connexion? Various NM stations have used KZIA in the past, but let it go. Perhaps the Zia Pueblo objected, but the Zia Sun Symbol has been adopted to represent NM as a whole. KZIA is currently an unassigned call on AM, but it`s now the sibling CRap FM 102.9 with 100 kW. 1600 night pattern is a broad ellipse peaking northwest, maximum signal from W to NW to NE, but we should be getting very little here to the SW, so really on ND day pattern? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** VATICAN. See SUDAN [and non], changes to relays of clandestines

UNIDENTIFIED. 17665, Feb 27 at 1413, open carrier, good and steady with lite fading, presumably Greenville B again checking whether the transmitter will be OK for a later broadcast on another nearby frequency. Typical behaviour around 9 am local as the day shift starts? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

This report despatched at 1741 UT February 27

New unidentified clandestine broadcast was started from Feb.27

CLANDESTINE   New unidentified clandestine broadcast was started from Feb.27:
1300-1400 on 11540 secret / hidden site to KRE Korean. Any ideas, four videos

Glenn Hauser logs February 26-27, 2015

** BRAZIL. 11745 & 11815, Feb 27 at 0206, crackle spurs from 11780.1 RNA/RNB. 11760 RHC is also splattering, so I make sure the garbage around 11745 modulation spikes are matching 11780.1 on another receiver, not 11760 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** EGYPT. Not having paid much attn to R. Cairo lately, I do so now:

9860, UT Fri Feb 27 at 0201, good signal, undermodulated but sufficient with ME music as the English sesquihour is underway. Not distorted – that is, until the YL announcer comes on at 0202; bad studio mike and ambience are part of the problem. Bits of music; 0203 program summary but hard to follow; 0204 over to OM, ``Radio Cairo presents --- this is Islam``, a weekly show. It`s slightly more readable but the accent is a problem. I try to get something out of it but cannot. Now, when are they going to expound on ``this is Coptic``? Then timesignal ends at 0214:36.5 --- who would want to set his chronometer at that odd hour? News theme tape wows or snags, as did the one introducing the Islam show. Now the YL newscaster modulation is too high, causing some distortion. Their studio equipment must be very old and worn out; transmitters too. And so it goes.

9905, Feb 27 at 0205, R. Cairo, good signal in Arabic, suppressed and distorted modulation

9965, Feb 27 at 0205, R. Cairo, good signal in other Arabic, this one JBM with whine; no 12s audible now (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** IRAN. 9445, Feb 27 at 0218.5 just as I am tuning across a weak station, it cuts off the air in mid-word. It was Voz de la República Islámica de Irán, depriving Spanish listeners of the last sesquiminute of their broadcast, 500 kW, 304 degrees from Kamalabad to Mexico and Caribbean (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 1640, Feb 27 at 0146 UT, and several other times lately, as I am rotating the DX-398 on my easel checking for DX in stronger station nulls, I keep finding KZLS nulling and thus peaking in a wrong direxion. It`s supposed to be about the same as OKC stations to the SSE altho less than half as far, east of Hennessey, but I keep getting a null considerably clockwise from there, i.e. further west if it`s still to the south of here. I recheck several OKC and other ground- and skywave stations and they appear to null at the proper spots. Maybe something around here is skewing my readings, but only in the X-band? Or KZLS has secretly moved transmitter site, or maybe has a backup site? Unlikely; no such info at radio-locator.com or FCC AM Query. Will have to check further, DF from other locations (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SRI LANKA. 11905, Feb 27 at 0114:47.5, music prélude starts, 0115:11.5 mistimesignal ends from SLBC, very poor (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1762 monitoring: confirmed UT Friday Feb 27 at 0001:10 on Global 24 via WRMI 9395. Next:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9395, Thu Feb 26 at 2156, Global 24 via WRMI, `Dialogos Greece` says it is about to finish, with a final musical selexion. So this week not running over an hour; 2200 no ID but change to waltz theme and opening European News Network, no evergreen but a new one leading with this week`s suicide bombing in Kano (did he say Europe??). G24 program grid continues to allege that WORLD OF RADIO is aired at this time, as indeed it was until Feb (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7490-v, Feb 27 at 0159, WBCQ with talk show going into a break, throws in some Hebrew expressions, phone 845-345-1010, but just as I anticipated, he`s cut off for canned ID in time to join Brother Hystairical in progress at 0200, who takes priority over everything. Yes, it was Rabbi Yaakov Spivak, as now sked UT Tue thru Fri at 01-02. I wonder what his show is about (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) 

** U S A. 7505.35 approx., Feb 27 at 0157, WRNO is on before nominal *0200, as a program from Crosslinechurch.com is concluding. VG signal and VG modulation too! Now if they can only keep that up, and we`ll try to overlook being so far off-frequency. After 0214 when I am measuring the frequency, YL DJ claims twice to be on ``7.505``. Hey, wouldn`t it be neat if once, just once, some off-frequency SW station announced its real exact frequency?! DHYB; ignorance is bliss (and deniable). (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1220, Feb 27 at 0152 UT, ``You`re never more than 20 minutes away from the weather on My Country, WSLM 12-20 AM``. And you`re never less than 5000 watts day power either, rather than 82 watts night, per NRC AM Log, which also shows slogan instead as ``Classic Country``. Maybe they utter both (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1630, Feb 27 at 0141 UT, Spanish is making it instead of usual English from KKGM and KCJJ, and it loops NW/SE, so KRND in Fox Farm WY; adstring including a Dodge dealer in AC 970 (which is adjacent Colorado); amid heavy CCI, SHVA promos some norteño event the next day, viernes 28; 0144 website UNC - algo .org, probably referring to University of Northern Colorado; 0145 Top Dollar(?) store in Cheyenne. 0145 ``La Jota Mexicana, 16-30 AM, 94.7 FM``. Where does the Jota name come from? Allusion to a dance originating in Spain? Has retained original call KRND presumably invoking old slogan ``Grande``. IIRC this station used to have an odd reduced power, but NRC AM Log 2014-2015 now shows it`s 10/1 kW U1 like most X-banders and the other three on 1630.

Owner started other Spanish stations in Colorado. History page is interesting but still doesn`t explain where the J comes from. Maybe it`s obvious to anyone of La Raza; or maybe it`s just random branding which sounds neat. It certainly beats Zeta with its unsavory connotations. Well, at least there is a J in its translator call, K223CJ, tho that was surely a sequential assignment. But wait, channel 223 is 92.5, not 94.7. Website http://lajotamexicana.com/ confirms 94.7 is it now. The WTFDA FM Database shows the 94.7 in Cheyenne is K234AH relaying KRAE [1480] with Oldies, ``Greatest Hits of the 50s and 60s`` and still shows 92.5 K223CJ as the KRND 1630 duplicator with 50 watts. So both references need this updated. How much longer before KRND starts bestowing top billing on its FM translator, a widespread industry trend? It`s already physically on the upper side of the homepage logo (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Glenn Hauser logs February 25-26, 2015


** BANGLADESH. 15505, Feb 26 at 1358:55, BB IS starts, mistimesignal ends earlier at 1359:19, opening theme for Urdu service; very poor (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BRAZIL. 11747 & 11813, Feb 26 at 0627, crackling spurs of 11780.1v, RNA/RNB are still audible (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. CNR1 jammers morning of Feb 26:
9155, Feb 26 at 1353, CNR1 jammer, very good with flutter; but not in synch with the next two

9230, Feb 26 at 1353, CNR1 jammer, very good with flutter

9350, Feb 26 at 1353, CNR1 jammer, fair and synch with 9230 not 9155

No full bandscan until next hour, starting with:

12910, Feb 16 at 1438, CNR1 jammer, very good; none in the 17s, 14s, 11s, 10s, 8s, but:

13665, Feb 26 at 1439, CNR1 jammer, fair // 12910

9680, Feb 26 at 1443, CNR1 jammer, good, not much victim QRM now

9605, Feb 26 at 1444, CNR1 jammer, good but not synch with others

9530, Feb 26 at 1445, CNR1 jammer, poor

7445, Feb 26 at 1446, CNR1 jammer, fair with CCI, not synch 12910

7385, Feb 26 at 1446, CNR1 jammer, good, only echo apart from 12910

6145, Feb 26 at 1447, CNR1 jammer, very poor but // 12910

17585, Feb 26 at 1449, CNR1 jammer, poor

15745, Feb 26 at 1449, CNR1 jammer, fair // 12910
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 15700, Feb 26 at 1400, no CRI English relay audible, just crackling audio, until JIP news at 1401, crackle still audible underneath. Likewise on 15370 RHC Spanish. Wiggle those patchcords? Or something more serious, like antenna wires flapping, shorting in the breeze (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** EQUATORIAL GUINEA [non]. 17790, Feb 26 at 1404, Brother Scare instead of Radio Africa Network on this WRMI frequency, // and synch with intentional BS on 15770, 11825. Still the same at 1433, 1450 chex. Mistaken feed, or backup, default? RAN also deliberately subcontracts BS at certain other hours, but normally hear their own programming now. Ivo Ivanov, Blgaria also noted this until RAN resumed at 1600 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GUATEMALA. 4055-, Feb 26 at 0619, R. Verdad carrier is unusually still on, slightly on the lo side after normal (exc UT Mon) sign-off circa 0609*. So I did log them on remnant of Feb 25, which is the 15th anniversary of their first broadcast, one sesquidecade ago.

Dr Madrid is really getting into ``TV`` = web video and provides this announcement:
which says their quinceañera celebration will axually be on Sat Feb 28 starting at 2300 UT until 0330 UT [March 1]. Then we may hear something special on 4055 and webcast (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GUYANA. 3290-, Feb 26 at 0621, VOG is on but very poor, some modulation, presumably usual BBCWS relay (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KUWAIT. 21540, Feb 26 at 1358, R. Kuwait still AWOL for at least the third day, while 21505 Saudi is audible; also no 21540 later in the 14 UT hour (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PHILIPPINES. 9400, Feb 26 at 1349, Chinese from FEBC is back on-frequency, making only a fast SAH with Voice of Kurdistan, instead of a horrible het 300-500 Hz above it for the last week. This may well result from Wolfgang Büschel notifying BRB`s Ludo Maes, broker of VOK, about the problem suggesting he lean on FEBC to fix it. But will it stay fixed? It`s happened before. An even better idea: don`t even try to share 9400 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9475 // 9930, Wed Feb 25 at 2025, unusually the two operable WTWW transmitters are duplicating (while 12105 still off), preëmpting dead gospel-huxtering from Laporte for live(?) coverage of the National Religious Broadcasters annual convention in Nashville, Ted interviewing someone. At 2242 recheck, still // but now with hymnmusic. Con runs from 23 to 26 Feb, so maybe even more the next day (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 750, Feb 26 at 1322 UT, talk in English from ENE/WSW, which rules out KAMA, much wanted Okie KSEO, KMMJ, nor even WSB this late, tho the Chicagoans are still in such as 780 vs KSPI, 1000 WMVP vs KTOK. That leaves KBNN Lebanon MO, 5 kW daytimer, which I also presumably logged on Feb 14 last year around the same time. 1323 UT this year goes on to discuss Led Zeppelin (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 860, Feb 26 at 1331 UT, KKOW Pittsburg KS is finishing the ``Slap Happy Polka``, on its weekdaily spot, `Polka Time`. This is mentioned on the Wikipedia page about KKOW: ``the morning polka (7:30 daily with birthday dedications, sponsored by Grimaldi's Cash Grain feedstore in Pittsburg)``.

BTW, polka fans with access to the RFD-TV channel may audition Molly Bee`s polka hour UT Sundays at 0300-0400, and another episode midweeks  (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1050, Feb 26 at 1332 UT, ``Newstalk 1050, KSIS and also KSISradio.com`` IDs twice in less than a minute, i.e. 1 kW ND from Sedalia MO, overcoming the Okies. 

I had also just heard 950, KWOS Jefferson City MO, 5 kW ND also newstalk (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1300, Feb 26 at 1341 UT, funeral announcements mentioning Marshall, Richmond and Sedalia, i.e. KMMO Marshall MO, 1 kW ND (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

mercoledì 25 febbraio 2015

Glenn Hauser logs February 24-25, 2015

** ALBANIA. 7425, Feb 25 at 0227, R. Tirana is very poorly audible with IS, so still on the air. Last time I checked this N American service in English, it was missing after 0230 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ANGUILLA. 11775, Feb 24 at 1458, University Network is missing from day frequency; maybe still stuck on night frequency which is inaudible this late on 6090, but could be detected in Florida, if on (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BANGLADESH. 15505, Feb 25 at 1359:28, 5+1 mistimesignal ends from Bangladesh Betar before opening Urdu service. JBA signal, but the MTS cuts thru (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BRAZIL. 11747 & 11813, Feb 25 at 0618, crackling spurs audible from 11780.1v, RNA/RNB (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BRAZIL. 11765v, Feb 25 at 0619, SRDA Curitiba with music, very poor, but not preaching by Davi[d] Miranda, who died Feb 22, according to a report by Leonardo Ivo on the radioescutas group. I don`t recall if he used to be heard at this particular hour, but it would be typical. He`s the wailing gospel huxter mixing Portuguese and Spanish into ``Portunhol``, who could be heard on so many Brazilian SW frequencies (per Aoki & WRTH, SRDA on 6060, 6120, 9565, 9585v, 11765) and also some Spanish-speaking countries --- what do you bet he lives on the radiowaves forever like his dead American counterparts? Maybe not. Leonardo says even before he died, there was a power struggle by his children for control of the IPDA church; he hopes the SW network might dissolve and some good stations come back (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. 11640 & 11655, Feb 25 at 1340, CNR1 jammers have some class! Playing ``Blue Danube Waltz``, applause and 1342 on to `Radetzky March`. Sounds just like the New Year Concert from Vienna encores. Last part of the latter is talked over in Chinese in typical disrespect. Both with flutter, 11640 clearer vs RTI, while 11655 has CCI from victim VOA Chinese (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GERMANY. 15150, Feb 24 at 1500, AWR with multilingual ID spiel, preceding Punjabi via Nauen. Strange thing: they manage to translate ``AWR`` into Italian, French, but in German they say the name in English! Why not ``Adventisten Welt-Rundfunk``?? BTW, it seems to me that in German the word ``Rundfunk`` (colorfully, literally, ``sparkin`-around``) is losing out to ``Radio`` except in established names like BR, NDR, WDR. Perhaps they have been influenced by R. Japan, which insists on pronouncing English ``NHK World`` in all other languages. Before 1500, AWR on 15150 is via Sri Lanka (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GUYANA. 3290-, Feb 25 at 0616 check, again no detectable signal from V. of Guyana; do others find it sporadic or missing again? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** INDIA. 11670, Feb 24 around 2130, AIR GOS with S Asian music, fair signal. I am getting this on the G8 portable with rod antenna only, in a stand-alone medical office lobby, incredibly without any noise level to cope with. Also clear signals from many other stations I would have a hard time hearing this well afternoons on the home rig (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** IRAN. 11675, Feb 25 at 1347, big hum atop suppressed-modulation talk, also flutter, i.e. VIRI Urdu service via Kamalabad until 1420. Aoki reminds later it`s supposed to be // 11730, but don`t recall hearing it there as I tuned on up (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KUWAIT [non]. 21540, Feb 24 at 1414, R. Kuwait is AWOL, certainly not due to propagation as neighbor Riyadh is still audible on 21505; and also absent Feb 25 at 1431, when 21505 is in even better than usual (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO [and non]. Re my several MW logs early UT Feb 24, and lack of northerlish US stations, in ``auroral conditions``, WWV reported the K-index was 4 at 0000; 5 at 0300 & 0600. And as of 0300 & 0600, `` Geomagnetic storms reaching the G1 level occurred`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MOROCCO. 9575, Feb 24 at 0617, Médi Un with Arabic music; poor signal, unusual flutter on this due to auroral conditions, K-index 5, tho not on weak Sudan 9505 which is a more northerly path over Spain (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** RUSSIA [non]. 7570 & 15770, Tue Feb 24 at 2100, R. Spootnik via WRMI with `From Russia with Love`; at 2123 wrapup, Vasily tries to give the times on WRMI, not this one, but incorrect 2130 Wednesday? 7570 & 15770 equally good on the G8 portable in medical office lobby (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SUDAN. 9505, Feb 24 at 0617, very poor signal with music and talk, some pulse QRM, presumed the sporadic V. of Africa service in Tigrinya, 110 degrees toward Ethiopia. Also scheduled for English at 0800-0900 & 1730-1830 when I don`t hear it any better (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1761 monitoring: confirmed UT Wed 0401 on Global 24 webcast, also via WRMI 9395. Preceded by Bach fill music at 0359, 0400 ID and a semiminute of FSN news headlines. The Wed 1415 airing on WRMI 9955 also confirmed at 1440 Feb 25 check, good with no jamming. Next:
Wed 2200 on WBCQ 7490v
Wed 2201 on Global 24 via WRMI 9395
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5930 & 5940, Feb 24 at 0623, the sidebands of WWCR 5935 with DGS are very noisy with something else, i.e. matching modulation peaks of WWCR 4840, as the spurious garbage cuts on and off. Yet another case of unsavory interaxion among WWCR transmitters which need to be isolated one from another, amen (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 11870, Feb 24 at 0615, R. Católica Mundial during the rote ``Dolorosa Pasión`` show is under big humwhine. This particular defect I only note on this frequency late at night; not so on // 7555 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9475, Feb 24 at 2235, PPPP programing has been pre-empted on WTWW for live(?) coverage from the annual National Religious Broadcasters convention always in Nashville --- Ted is interviewing some guy in the movie biz, and for the few minutes I listen, can`t determine who he is or what it has to do with religion or broadcasting (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Adventist World Radio Offers Special QSL Stamp for Kigali Broadcasts

At the beginning of this current Transmission Period B14 October 6, 2014, Adventist World Radio began a relay service from the Deutsche Welle shortwave relay station near Kigali in Rwanda Africa.  The AWR relay via DW Kigali is on the air for a total of 2½ transmitter hours daily in three languages, French, Amharic & Fulfulde.  In one particular time block, two transmitters carry the programming in parallel.

However, Deutsche Welle has subsequently announced that they plan to close their African relay station at the end of this current Transmission Period B14 March 28, 2015 and then dismantle the station.  The last AWR broadcasts from DW Kigali will therefor also end at the same time.

For those who would like to receive a QSL card for these now short term broadcasts, AWR would welcome all reception reports from listeners in any part of the world.  Each reception report will be verified with a QSL card (not an Email QSL), and the envelope will be affixed with genuine postage stamps, not postal labels.  In addition, while supplies last, a special QSL stamp showing Kigali will be attached to the QSL card.

It is not necessary to send an off-air recording of your reception.  We just need your honest reception report on paper. Where possible, please enclose return postage in the form of currency notes in any international currency, or mint postage stamps. Please note that IRC coupons are too expensive for you to buy, and they are no longer valid in the United States.

Also please enclose your address label.

The only address for the special Kigali QSL stamp is the Indianapolis address at :

Adventist World Radio, Box 29235, Indianapolis, Indiana 46229, USA.

All reception reports, including all that have already been received, will be QSLed in due course.  However, please be patient with us as we already hold uncounted hundreds of reception reports still pending, and it may take us many months to process them all.

The current AWR website shows the following scheduling for the daily Kigali transmissions:-

0600 - 0630 UTC        15700 kHz      French
0600 - 0630                 17800              French
1700 - 1730                   9490              Amharic
1930 - 2000                 17800              Fulfulde         
2000 - 2030                 17800              French


=========================================================                            

Adventist World Radio - Regular QSL Policy

Adventist World Radio welcomes reception reports from listeners in all countries.  Please note the following items of information:-

* Each reception report should contain the following items of information
  Date
  Time, preferably expressed in International Radio Time, equivalent to UTC
  Frequency in kHz
  Sufficient program details to verify that you actually heard the AWR programming
  Reports using SINPO Code preferred


* Reception reports by postal mail are preferred, though email is also acceptable.

* Where possible, please enclose return postage in the form of currency notes in any international currency, or mint postage stamps.

* Please note that IRC coupons are too expensive for you to buy, and they are no longer valid in the United States.

* Where possible, please enclose your address label.

* You will receive a full data QSL card, including location, through the postal system in response to your reception report.

* Several different QSL cards are available.

* The envelope will be affixed with regular postage stamps, not a postage label.

* AWR does not send out email QSLs.

* It is not necessary for you to send and resend the same reception report.  All reception reports that we receive are verified with a regular full data QSL card.

* It is not necessary to send an off-air recording of your reception.  We just need your honest reception report on paper.

* At times, there may be a delay before you receive your AWR QSL card.  This is due to the large inflow of reception reports we receive from listeners in so many different countries.

* The regular postal address for reception reports is:-

 Adventist World Radio
 Box 29235
 Indianapolis
 Indiana 46229 USA

Glenn Hauser logs February 23-24, 2015

** BRAZIL. 11814 & 11746 approx., Feb 24 at 0103, weakly audible cracking spurs at modulation spike peaks from 11780.1v, RNA/RNB, while the very strong fundamental is splashing out to 12 kHz either side (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. 12055, Feb 24 at 0100, heard one(?) pip considerably past 0100:00, very poor with flutter, talk. Aoki shows the CNR17 service in Kazakh is here at 2355-1200, 100 kW, 298 degrees from Lingshi 725 site since January 1. Before 0100 it would have had competition from FEBA  per Aoki, FEBC per WRTH, in Wa via Bocaue, Philippines (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GUATEMALA. 4055, Feb 24 at 0117, poor-fair signal from R. Truth, sermon in English being translated into Spanish, phrase by phrase, something about the end of the world. Really? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 710, Feb 24 at 0147, IFE PSA from NE/SW, then mentions Cuauhtémoc (could be an historical or street reference, major figure in México), but it`s really XEDP, La Ranchera de Cuauhtémoc, in the Chihuahua city named for him, with singing ID jingle at 0147, which they frequently play. No het and little QRM in auroral conditions (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 1110, Feb 24 at 0136, ID sounds like R. Metropolitana, 11-10 in promo, with SFX. I was expecting 100/50 kW XERED in the DF, but this is further southwest, and fits really for R. Guadalupana, XEWR, Ciudad Juárez, which IRCA lists as a 500-watt, 24-hour daytimer (i.e. blank for night power). But WRTH says 1000/500 watts. 0137 IFE PSA (sounded like, outdated one instead of INE?), 0138 regreso a su programa, `Levántate con ---``, YL-hostessed talk on the tema, ``la mentira``. A wakeup show? Then it`s an evening playback.

Conditions are auroral, and KFAB 1110 Omaha in the opposite direxion is absolutely no problem, not needing avoidance by nulling. Other northerlish clears are blacked out, including WLW 700, WGN 720, WBBM 780, WCCO 830, WHAS 840, KOA 850, WLS 890, KMOX 1120, WLAC 1510, WCKY 1530 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 1220, Feb 24 at 0134, Spanish news and it`s about one word ahead of XERF 1570, so sibling station, or rather parent station XEB in the DF with `Antena Radio` from IMER; despite its 100 kW clear-channel (ha, ha) status, not always audible at all (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 1320, Feb 24 at 0132, Spanish news by YL anchorette, with quick sounder between items, looping SSW/NNE. She brings up a reporter on phone. Presumably XECPN, Piedras Negras, Coahuila again, with news format, La Poderosa with 10000/100 watts. Recheck at 0148, cáncer PSA, group ID ``Radiorama, la cadena que une a México``, and that chex for XECPN too (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 1470, Feb 24 at 0128, Spanish norteña song, slightly clockwise from N/S, 0130.5 SHVA with XEHI ID, 7-30 timecheck. XEHI is in Ciudad Miguel Alemán, Tamaulipas, across from Roma TX. Cantú shows 10000/250 watts, slogan La Caponera. IRCA says 3000/250 watts, La Consentida. WRTH splits the difference with 10000/250 watts, La Consentida.

What does Caponera mean? My Random House Latin American Spanish dixionary says: ``coop for fattening capons``; informally, ``gaol``; or ``place where one lives well free of charge``. But root word capón also means castrated or gelded, as for roosters. A great name for a radio station, eh? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 1510, Feb 24 at 0127, Spanish talk from N/S is dominant, presumed XEQI in Monterrey NL; no WLAC needing to be nulled (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 11580-, Feb 24 at 0106, the WRMI Brother Scare service again has that strange QRM I previously reported Feb 22 at 1432, a much different daypart: repeated descending tone. Now they are very regular every 3.5 seconds and lasting 3 seconds each before a pause. With BFO I discover that they apply to the lower sideband only, inaudible on the upper. I.e. another carrier repeatedly approaching 11580.0 from below causing descending het. When I tune to 11578 on USB, I hear the tones going upward. Nothing like this heard on other WRMI BS frequencies. I really don`t think it is local; at least nothing like it noted elsewhere on the SW bands here.

7730, Feb 24 at 0112, Brother Scare is again playing clip of an extremely critical caller really putting him down, as ``a crazy old religious zealot, who tells you lies``, and much more. I`ve run across this before several times. Then BS can come on and play the martyr, accuse the caller of being blasphemous, etc., etc. // much stronger 7570, both via WRMI.

Further tuning finds BS on two WWRB transmitters at once, 5050 and 3185, at 0118 Feb 24, those running about one sesquisecond behind WRMIs (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SRI LANKA. 11905, Feb 24 at 0114:37, musical prélude starts, mistimesignal ends at 0115:19, and SLBC sign-on. Good level but heavy flutter as usual. Once again the TS had only three pips (2+1) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1761 monitoring: inquiry from a listener indicates that at 2200+ UT Monday Feb 23, Global 24 via WRMI 9395 was playing a Two Bobs episode on `Switzerland in Sound`, supposed to be at 2230 after WOR, which apparently did not air. Did anyone else hear WOR at 2200 or 2230? Next?

Wed 2201 on Global 24 via WRMI 9395
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. 980, Feb 24 at 0140 UT, Spanish talk explaining eligibility for Medicare, so it`s certainly United Statesian, from N/S, and in next 4 minutes clearly giving phone number 5 times: 832-701-3647. AC 832 = Houston TX, so this is KQUE, COL Rosenberg-Richmond, but address in Pasadena. NRC AM Log says it`s Radio Aleluya, 5/4 kW U4. Day and night patterns have major lobe SE into the Gulf, minor lobe NW toward me.

At same time I am getting another weaker SS on 980, somewhat separable further to the SW, likely XENR Nueva Rosita, Coahuila, 0141 UT with local weather (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1530, Feb 24 at 0125 UT, `Univisión Radio` ID in passing, and SHVA ads, 0126 UT Autozone, etc. from N/S, i.e. surely KGBT Harlingen, RGV TX. Standard remark about how KGBT is not supposed to put out any signal toward the north, but this was dominating anything else on 1530 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Glenn Hauser logs February 22-23, 2015

** MEXICO. 700, Feb 23 at 1303, indigenous language, then Spanish mentioning Comisión Nacional para el Desarrollo de los Pueblos Indígenas (CDI), its sponsoring agency; at 1304 call-letter IDs at least twice as XEETCH. Poor signal perhaps about to fade out, but no significant QRM, loops WSW. This is in Etchojoa, Sonora, or Navojoa, 5 kW daytimer per Cantú, La Voz de los Tres Rios, and per IRCA serving three linguistic groups. Website with much more about it in Spanish:http://ecos.cdi.gob.mx/xeetch.html
including
``700 AM / 5000 watts
Dirección: Carretera Navojoa - Huatabampo, Km. 27, C.P. 85280, Etchojoa, Sonora
Horario de transmisión: Diurno de 6:00 a 18:00 horas [UT -7]
Cobertura: Sonora, Sinaloa, Chihuahua
Lenguas en que transmite: Mayo, yaqui, guarijío y español``

It would be interesting to see what the same text would look like in those languages, but I see no link to them. Does provide audio streaming, and gallery of station staff (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 870, Feb 23 at 1306, a bit of the Mexican NA is overtaken by XETAR IDs, mentioning Comisión Nacional para el Desarrollo de Pueblos Indígenas, as I had just heard on sibling station 700 XEETCH. 1307 full ID in Spanish by W & M alternating, as La Voz de la Sierra Tarahumara, poor signal and soon fading.

CDI page linking to all its emisoras:
http://ecos.cdi.gob.mx/index.html
There are 20 around the country, but only heard XETAR and XEETCH here.

And XETAR page, same format as for XEETCH:
http://ecos.cdi.gob.mx/xetar.html
``870 AM / 10000 watts
Dirección: Felipe Ángeles y Francisco M. Plancarte Col. El Salto
Guachochi, Chihuahua. C.P. 33180
Horario de transmisión: Diurno de 6:00 a 18:00 horas [UT -7 until DST]
Cobertura: Chihuahua, Sinaloa, Durango
Lenguas en que transmite: Tarahumara, tepehuano y español``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 90.1, Sunday Feb 22 at 1757 and still 1827 UT chex, KUCO Edmond, our classical station, is off the air. Maybe something to do with snowstorm; fortunately back on later in afternoon for favorite shows at 21+ UT `Wind & Rhythm`, 22+ UT `Mad About Music` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SUDAN [and non]. 15550, Feb 23 at 1532, tone jammer is JBA under R. Dabanga via VATICAN, and WJHR-USB via Milton FL making an unholy mess all by themselves; so time for a Dabanga jump? The Sudanese jammers don`t bother with R. Tamazuj which precedes it; why? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [non]. 17700, Feb 23 at 1537, very poor talk in unID language. Aoki shows it`s VOA via BOTSWANA, 1500-1530 daily in Hausa, and since January 12, adding 1530-1600 M-F (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1761 monitoring: confirmed Sunday Feb 22 at 2300 on WRMI 11580, sufficient; also confirmed UT Monday Feb 23 at 0401 on Area 51 via WBCQ 5110v. Next:
Mon 2201 on Global 24 via WRMI 9395
Tue 1200 on WRMI 9955
Wed 0401 on Global 24 via WRMI 9395
Wed 0730 & 1530 on Hamburger Lokalradio 7265-CUSB
Wed 1415 on WRMI 9955
Wed 2200 on WBCQ 7490v
Wed 2201 on Global 24 via WRMI 9395
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5085, Feb 23 at 0647, WTWW-2 is back on, rock music and Ted reverbing from the bottle-of-the-barrel, saying he can`t remember something about the music (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1060, Feb 23 at 0658 UT, bigsig, very good dominating from NW/SE with CRS = Catholic Relief Service rice-bowl ad, 0659 UT ``pro-life update``, dead air just before 0700 UT during a space reserved for local ID which was NOT transmitted, then into EWTN Radio, `Women of Grace, Live` except it isn`t, so please don`t call.

This is obviously KRCN Longmont CO, which as we reported, recently flipped from Bloomberg BIZ to Catholic EWTN, and was widely reported earlier this evening across the country as surely on non-direxional day power 50 kW instead of 111 watts night. Only by nulling it can I bring up the off-frequency LAHs from KIJN, another cheater, and the new XERDO (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1290, Feb 23 at 0706 UT, ``on the mighty 12-90, Koil``. Not often heard here; 5 kW day and night, but night pattern has minor lobe to SSW, major lobe to NNE, while day pattern is ND (the day contour circle in the NRC Pattern Book should be dotted). IIRC, KOIL, Omaha NE was once a major rocker, but now listed as news/talk.

KOIL was on 1180 from 8/24/1993 to 4/22/2003 and again from 01/01/2009 to 06/04/2012 when 1180 became KZOT, per FCC call sign history (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1560, Feb 23 at 0702 UT, I`m checking 1560 for DX, tho the absence of NYC makes absolutely no difference here in deep North America, since even when on, the WQEW/ex-WQXR blasted most of its 50 kW signal over New England, the Maritimes and Olde England, never heard here. The hiatus is until Family Radio remakes it into a total nonentity, WFME, after having given up their old FM station in market.

But I do get something odd on 1560, ESPN Radio, `Sports Center All-Night`, looping ENE/WSW, so it can`t be Houston, and besides, that`s not ESPN, is it? NRC AM Log 2014-2015 shows several sports stations on upstart networks, but the only ESPN was WSLA, 500-watt daytimer in Slidell LA. No fit.

So I Google on ESPN 1560 and soon find a nearby candidate, WMBH in Joplin MO! Yes, a legacy W-call in the West, belonging to a rather insignificant station, and originally on 1450 until a local station/format swap. It`s only 192 miles/310 km away, city-to-city.

NRC AM Log 2014-2015 had WMBH as urban contemporary format, ``The Beat``, 250/9 watts. Altho the signal soon fades into QRM, I strongly suspect more than 9 watts. If it had stayed on 1450, it could be running 1000 watts at night, but with slightly more QRM.

Confirming WMBH is now ESPN, see these:

and click on the map dot over Joplin if you can find it
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** VATICAN [non]. 15470, Feb 23 at 1531, YL with S Asian accent in English quoting and commenting on Psalms, fair signal. Aoki shows it`s VR via IBB Tinang, PHILIPPINES, ergo violating Separation of Church and State (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 774, Feb 23 at 1259-1302, JBA carrier from the NW, surely 500 kW NHK2, JOUB, Akita, a prime pilot for trans-Pacific propagation. No full bandscan, but nothing on 828, 747, 702 or 1566 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED [and non]. 9395, Monday Feb 23 at 1508 during Global 24`s `Sounds from the Global Village`, good world music show, interruption for 2-way calls twice in American accent, mentioning Coast Guard! Nothing more of that past 1530. If SSB, it must have been zero-beat to the WRMI carrier, as it sounded just right and no het. I wonder if 9395 is on any roster as a USCG frequency. How about it, NTIA? Of did what I heard somehow get mixed into the G24/WRMI transmission itself (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
