** BRAZIL. 11765, Sept 4 at 0513, SRDA Curitiba is suffering from splatter out
of 11780 RNA, 15 kHz away, rather than its putting crackling spurs circa 11745
and missing 11765 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CANADA. [Re
2749-USB with marine weather from Rivière-au-Renard, Gaspé, QC at 2317 and other
times, http://www.dxinfocentre.com/mb.htm
reference, with contradictory coördinates]:
All stations broadcast in the
international IMO MSI language of English unless otherwise stated. Like many
MF/HF stations around the world, Riviere au Renard Coast Guard Radio broadcasts
from 2 remote MF sites located quite a distance from the "studio". The main MF
broadcast site is VCN Grindstone, Magdalen Islands, the secondary site is CJH22
Natashquan. MF broadcasts have not been made from Riviere au Renard itself for a
number of years now (those broadcasts were on 2582 kHz and included Quebec and
Montreal on that network). I haven't updated the Canadian MF broadcast page for
a while but will update it soon (Bill Hepburn, Ont., DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** CUBA. 5040, Sept 4 at 0525, RHC dead air instead of English;
while the remainder of The Cuban Five are nominal on 6 MHz band (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GERMANY [non]. 7425, Sept 4 at 0523, fair
signal in English, i.e. DW via SOUTH AFRICA this hour only: one of our better
opportunities to hear it (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
**
GREECE. 9420, Sept 4 at 0517, VOG with a few words of presumed Romanian news,
into Greek music interlude, 0521 opening Spanish segment; also on 9935- with
whine (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 620, Sept 4 at
1202, NA is playing, 1203 ID for XEBU, also FM 91.7, 10 kW, ``La Norteñita``, in
Chihuahua, Chihuahua, which I can condense to: {Chi[hua2]2} (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 650, Sept 4 at 1152 UT, great banda
music with tuba lead, XETNT Los Mochis, Sinaloa wrapping up a show. This is an
SRS dominator from a sesquimegameter away along with other Sinaloans and
vicinity on most of the lower channels. Today`s Enid sunrise: 1205 UT (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 680, Sept 4 at 1205, ``Línea
directa`` newscast, agropecuaria y policíaca, about Sinaloa, 1206 TC for ``6 con
6``, ``El Noticiero de Sinaloa``. It`s XEORO in Guasave, 1000/500 watts per
Cantú; NO CCI, not even KKYX or KFEQ (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 700, Sept 4 at 1150, several promos for Radio Red,
``la red de Radio Red``, mentioning program started at 6:45. It`s XEDKR,
Guadalajara, 10000/150 watts per Cantú (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 720, Sept 4 at 1207, report on the high suicide rate
in León, Guanajuato, with breakdown by age group. No Leonian on this frequency,
so probably XEDE or XEJCC or XEVU; or KSAH, but no San Antonio incoming on 680
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 730, Sept 4 at 1209,
``Estéreo Fiesta`` new ID as on 107.1 FM y 730 AM, i.e. XEHB, Hidalgo del
Parral, Chihuahua, 50/1 kW, no more ``Ke buena``. Does this obligate them to
transmit AM in stereo as well? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
**
MEXICO. 850, Sept 4 at 1156, ``La 850 de AM``, federal PSA string, then full ID
for XEMIA, 3 mil watts, ``información que sirve`` slogan more than once, street
address in Guadalajara, Jalisco; weak but in the clear with NO KOA which would
ordinarily still be propagating a dekaminute before sunrise here and much more
in Denver. My first log of XEMIA, IIRC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 880, Sept 4 at 1211, ``México es Grande``, béisbol
promo but with ``Star Spangled Banner`` audible in background, seemingly from
same station, then a few bars of ``Stars & Stripes Forever``. Maybe this
means they will broadcast North American games? ID for ``103.5 y 880, Radio
Centro Deportes``. That FM/AM match leads to XEPNK, another from the hotspot of
Los Mochis, Sinaloa, 10/2 kW, a.k.a. Planeta per Cantú. The Deportes slogan
probably applies to this particular news/sportscast, not the whole station. From
the SSW at 1212, federal PSAs for Senado et al., TC for 6-13; fading out as
there is CCI from another SS further to the SSW (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 6185, Sept 4 at 0524, open carrier/dead air, as XEPPM
has neglected to turn off the transmitter after 0500 SW closing (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SUDAN [and non]. 11650, Sept 4 at 0514, 1 kHz
AM/DSB tone jammer still here, despite R. Dabanga via Vatican having safely
moved down to 11645 months ago, now weaker than the jammer but in the clear
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 900, Sept 4 at 1215 UT,
nostalgic music, ID for KSGL, time 7:15. Lately this 250/28 watt Wichita KS
groundwave station has been coming in better than before, also frequently on the
daytime caradio. Its pattern supposedly shoots tightly east-west, not good for
here to the SSW, making me wonder if it`s on ND STA? Has a double-split format
of NOS and REL. A few months ago I was hearing it less well and wondered if
there was a problem; but then was probably correctly direxional (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1120, Sept 4 at 1228 UT, no KMOX, but
with KETU/KEOR nulled, ``spread the word, in Austin for Christian talk, it`s
11-20, the Bris`` --- that can`t be right, no it`s ``The Bridge``, 5600/155 watt
