Highlights of Solar and Geomagnetic
Activity 24 - 30 October 2016
Solar activity was at very low levels
during the period. The two
numbered regions on the visible disk were Region
2603 (N13, L=340,
class/area Dao/080 on 26 October) and 2604 (N07, L=261,
class/area
Bxo/010 on 29 October). Other activity included a slow
moving
coronal mass ejection (CME) directed mostly south of the
ecliptic
beginning at 30/1012 UTC in SOHO/LASCO C2 imagery. The source of
the
CME was unclear and may be associated with magnetic re-connection
near
S30E15. Preliminary analysis indicated a possible weak glancing
blow arrival
around midday on 04 November. Further analysis is
currently underway.
No proton events were observed at geosynchronous orbit.
The
greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit was at
moderate
levels on 24-25 October and reached high levels from 26-30
October. The
largest flux value of the period was 47,726 pfu
observed at 27/1530 UTC.
Geomagnetic field activity ranged from quiet to G3 (Strong)
storm
levels. The period started off under the waning influence of a
weak
isolated positive polarity coronal hole high speed stream (CH
HSS).
Solar wind speeds were mostly in the 380 km/s to 430 km/s range
with
total field values between 5 nT and 10 nT and prolonged periods
of
southward Bz. The geomagnetic field responded with quiet to
active
levels on 24 October. Early on 25 October, total field began to
rise
to a maximum of 21 nT at 25/1016 UTC while the Bz component
deflected
southward to -17 nT indicating the onset of a co-rotating
interaction region.
This was followed by a rise in solar wind speed
to around 750-830 km/s as a
large, polar-connected, positive
polarity CH HSS moved into geoeffective
position. Coronal hole
influence declined to the 530-680 km/s by midday on 27
October and
remained there until the end of the period. The geomagnetic
field
responded with active to G3 (Strong) storm levels on 25
October,
active to G2 (Moderate) storm levels on 26 October, unsettled to
G1
(Minor) storm levels on 27 and 29 October, unsettled to active
levels
on 28 October, and quiet to active levels on 30 October.
FORECAST OF
SOLAR AND GEOMAGNETIC ACTIVITY 31 OCTOBER-26 NOVEMBER 2016
Solar activity
is expected to be at very low to low levels
throughout the forecast period.
No proton events are expected at geosynchronous orbit.
The
greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit is
expected to be at
moderate levels with high levels likely from 31
October-06 November, 12-19
November, and again from 22-26 November
due to CH HSS influence.
Geomagnetic field activity is expected to be at unsettled to
active
levels from 31 October-01 November, 11-15, and 19-26 November
with
G1 (Minor) storm levels likely on 13, 21-23, and 25 November and
G2
(Moderate) storm levels likely on 21-22 November due to recurrent
CH
HSS activity.

Friday between 1800-2100 UTC, and they appreciate reception
reports.
E-mail address: lra36@hotmail.com
Here
in Lugo, at 2025, nothing on 15476 but strong interference from station on
15480.

Lugo, Spain
Glenn Hauser logs October 30-31, 2016
** ARGENTINA. 28463-USB, Oct 30 at 2235, LU8EOT contest contacts with Japan;
deep fading. ``LU8EOT Argentina, flag Argentina, Mariano Colacilli (Mark),
Pasteur 303, Escobar 1625 BA, Argentina``. His antennas are huge bird
roosts.
28425-USB, Oct 30 at 2238, LU7HN with contest contacts: ``LU7HN
Argentina, flag Argentina, RENE ERNESTO GIORDA, AV. CERVANTES 3879, SAN
FRANCISCO (2400) CORDOBA 2400, Argentina`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST) More 10m ham logs in this report: BRAZIL, COOK ISLANDS SOUTH, HAWAII,
URUGUAY
** BRAZIL. 28355-USB, Oct 30 at 2226, PV2P making quick contest
contacts in English, the SSOB at S9. Very pleased to find 10m open, and it takes
a contest to prove that. A few minutes before, I found 15m open, but nothing on
12m (presumably off-limits for the contest). QRZ.com shows merely: ``PV2P
Brazil, flag Brazil, CONTEST CALLSIGN PY2DY, SAO PAULO Brazil`` --- so who is
PY2DY? ``PY2DY Brazil, flag Brazil, TONY PY2DY, RUA VISC. DE INHOMERIM 1093
AP.162, SAO PAULO, SP 03120001, Brazil`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** COOK ISLANDS SOUTH. 28465.9-USB, Oct 30 at 2232, E51JD, Jim on
Rarotonga which he spells for the ignorant, with leisurely contact, so
apparently not contesting during the contest. QRZ.com shows: ``E51JD South Cook
Islands, flag South Cook Islands, JIM DITCHBURN, P O BOX 491, RAROTONGA, COOK
ISLANDS, SOUTH PACIFIC, VIA NEW ZEALAND, South Cook Islands, QSL: E51JD WITH 2
GREEN STAMP & SELFADDRESS, SELF SEAL ENVELOPE`` That`s lingo for 2 US$
return postage. And you`re out of luck if he has to lick the envelope --- good
to be cautious, altho there are devices for tongueless moistening of stamps or
envelopes as I used to employ for RIB. All foreign subscribers got a wide new
selexion of commemoratives on every issue rather than permit postage (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [non]. 7405, Oct 30 at 2243,
Radio Martí is VG with no jamming yet. Strangely enough, this frequency is B-16
registered for one hour only, 22-23. Jammers do run on it at other hours now
vacated.
7365, Oct 31 at 0159, I`m checking whether this Radio Martí is
really on here for only one hour? Yes, cut off amid silly ballgame at 0200
sharp, and 7435 comes up about 17 seconds later, off, and back on to stay,
leaving the jamming behind on 7365.
7435, Oct 31 at 0606, R. Martí at
S9+30, no jamming caught up with this yet either. 7435 hours are now 00-01,
02-07, 12-14 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also SOUTH AFRICA:
5980
** HAWAII. 28492-USB, Oct 30 at 2230, KH7CW with contest contacts,
from Zone 31, barely working W7EOV/mobile and trying to extract his true zone.
Remember when Hawaii was only KH6? Did they run out of such calls? QRZ.com
lookup shows: The Coconut Wireless Contest Club, 98-1559 Akaaka St, Aiea, Oahu,
HI 96701 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** JAPAN [non]. 5960,
Oct 31 at 0324, J-pop song at S9, as for B-16, NHK Japanese via FRANCE to
Central America has moved here from 5910, escaping the collision with COLOMBIA
if and when active. HJDH still faces ROMANIA, q.v. (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** KOREA NORTH. 6170, Oct 31 at 1309, typical Juche
music, as VOK has reoccupied channel for B-16 now that RNZI is gone. Arnulf
Piontek`s B-16 schedule (same as A-16, he says) shows 1030-1330 at 28 degrees to
Americas, final hour really KCBS in Korean. Still at 1330-2130 switched to 325
degrees for Europe (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KURDISTAN
[non]. 9400, Oct 31 around 1330, Denge Kurdistane remains well-heard with little
if any QRM from FEBC. Ivo Ivanov corrects the site schedule I quoted previously,
saying that the switch from PRIDNESTROVYE to Bulgaria is now at 1500 instead of
1400 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MADAGASCAR. 5010.59, Oct
31 at 0247, S7 carrier vs splash from 5015 WRMIBS. Presumed the constantly
varying R. Madagasikara, nominally from *0300 per WRTH. (Dave Valko in PA had
this? on 5010.63 as early as 1930 Oct 26. Wolfgang Büschel had it on
5010.110-5010.180 at 1633 Oct 9 vs India. And Sept 23 on 5010.796; Sept 14 at
1800: ``5010.550 kHz variable, Malagasy Radio Madigasikara, narrowed 5010.538
... x.568 kHz much variable, hopping 10-20 Hertz up and down``. Another
possibility if it were stable and much closer to 5010.0 would be the Cuban
leapfrog mixing product of 5040 over 5025 another 15 kHz down (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NEW ZEALAND. 9700, Oct 31 at 1309, RNZI is VG
with news about Palau (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also KOREA
NORTH
** OKLAHOMA. 1640, Oct 31 at 0305 UT, KZLS Enid-Hennessey-OKC with
double audio, an ad for something and an Ad Council PSA at equal levels. 0306
both stop at same instant, for single audio on ``Free Talk Live, Hour 3``, host
not apologizing for the error (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
**
ROMANIA [and non]. 5960, Oct 30 at 0240, poor S8 signal in French, which is RRI
as now scheduled to E North America // listed 7410 (5960 also English at 01-02,
// 7325 where also heard).
Don`t you believe another but fanciful HFCC
registration on 5960, for R. Kuwait from Kabd site starting at 0200, since it`s
been completely off SW for a few years --- so why do they keep registering
schedules (plus 11 more), a remote chance of resuming or to save face? Or so a
MOI rep can still attend HFCC conferences on government payroll as a perk? And
why does HFCC put up with such woodenness?
5910, Oct 31 at 0242, RRI in
Romanian // 7340, poor S5 mixing with music from COLOMBIA. RRI at 01-03 is now
the nemesis of that, clear afterwards except for NHK Russian via Lithuania at
0430-0500 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SOUTH AFRICA. 6155,
Oct 31 at 0326, S8-S9 news from Kinshasa, as Channel Africa in English is now
here at 03-04 M-F, 250 kW, 19 degrees from Meyerton, but sufficient way over
here for news direct from Africa. Altho SABC management has been subject of huge
scandals.
Replaces 5980 in the A-season, which suffers from the WWCR
leapfrog of 5890 over 5935 another 45 kHz higher, and also from intermittent
Cuban jamming long before R. Martí would use it, 07-13. ChAf is still // on 3345
plus another hour of English (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
**
TURKEY. 5960, Oct 30 at 2257 past 2300, no signal from VOT on reactivated B-16
frequency for English to North America. Must be late coming up, not unusual for
the slipshod operators at Emirler. Recheck at 2328, now it`s on at fair S9
level, really 5960.017, off-frequency plus also being typical.
9650, Oct
30 at 0232, very poor S3 signal is one of few barely propagating on band, enough
to recognize the ``Pregunta del Mes`` theme music from VOT, Spanish now an hour
later and on different B-16 frequencies, the other being 9410 but not checked;
should be weaker aimed further south, like ex-9870 compared to ex-9770, at
ex-0100+ (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO
1849 monitoring: confirmed Sunday October 30 at 2330 on WBCQ, 9329.991v-CUSB,
S9+10. Also confirmed UT Monday October 31 from 0302:05 on Area 51 via WBCQ,
5130.05, but just barely audible, and down to only a JBA carrier at 0323. Also
confirmed UT Monday October 31 at 0330 on WRMI 9955, which is also JBA at S1.

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A
[and non]. 9955, Sunday Oct 30 at 2245, I can barely make out Ray Robinson`s
voice reading some radio-history script, so it must be `Wavescan` under
wall-of-noise jamming, which WRMI has brought upon itself by scheduling Radio
Libertad both before and after the 22-23 UT hour, at least on weekdays. Other
English programming at 22-23 is also collaterally damaged (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 7570, UT Mon Oct 31 at 0127 on WRMI, African
percussion music, i.e. World Music default, instead of the scheduled special at
01-03 from PCJ Radio International, From the Archives of Radio Nederland, part
4! The previous airing at 06 to Europe on 7780 was also a no-show, and I believe
with the same music when I checked circa 0629. Still music at 0200, but at 0231
recheck back to BS already.
7780, UT Mon Oct 31 at 0605 check, this WRMI
is again playing World Music fill instead of Brother Scare, just like it was
doing 24 hours earlier when it was supposed to be running the PCJ special. Such
mixups have happened previous months, to be made good the following week (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 11580, Monday Oct 31 before
and after 1315, WRMI with World Music, and also at 1429 romantic song in
Spanish, before #1 transmitter goes back to BS at 1500 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 11520, Oct 30 at 2213, WEWN English with
caller mentioning that ``Obama is a Muslim``, and talkhost does not correct her!
Just another example of the political sewage spewed out by private US SW
stations. Meanwhile, WEWN Spanish is on 12050. One would have expected English
to be on 15610 at this hour, as it was in A-16. In fact, HFCC B-16 shows 11520
for WEWN only at 00-13 UT! And 15610 at 13-24, so they are totally off-schedule
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1580, Oct 31 at 0259
UT, ``God Save the Queen`` on organ, but fade-down for KFCS ID as expected from
Colorado Springs CO, the usual dominatrix now, not unwilling to run 10 kW day
power at night (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1590,
Oct 31 at 0307 UT, sounds like Bollywood music, and peaking about 40 degrees,
almost northeast as befitting WCGO Evanston IL. Still same at 0322 UT and have
not heard any announcements. With very heavy QRM and multi-SAHs, since there are
five dozen mostly low-power US stations at night on 1590, but this is slightly
dominant. 0333 to a Hallowe`en tune in Bollywood style with banshee.
It`s time to go back online instead of onradio, so I hasten to bring up
the WCGO webstream, and hear more similar music, but now there is a lot of
chatter between W&M, in Hinglish? Or Engjabi? with tune dedications. For the
show at 10 pm to Midnite CT Sundays is: `Sohni Dharti Radio`. No info about it
on WCGO`s own site, but searching separately finds this from a blog stalled
since 2012:
``Let
me introduce myself to you. My name is Sophia Sohail and I am a Radio Jocky
doing shows every sunday night on wcgo 1590 am channel as well as a writer. I
write articles in our community newspaper. When people of my community listen to
my talk shows on the radio, they call me Oprah of our indopak community``. So
Punjabi is more likely (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
**
URUGUAY. 28435-USB, Oct 30 at 2236, CK2DK with contest contacts. QRZ.com shows:
``CX2DK Uruguay, flag Uruguay, MARCELO FERNANDO EGÜES MARTORELL, PO Box: 37,
P.C: 11000, Montevideo - Uruguay`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Pacific JBA MW carrier search starts a bit
late today as I wake up just before local sunrise at 1254 UT:
702-WSW at
1251
612-WSW at 1252
657-WSW at 1253
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 870, Oct 30 at 2250 UT, country gospel music, ID as
``Top Ten Radio`` (I think), with WWL nulled but losing out to it by 2252 UT.
Prime suspect looks like 25 kW KPRM Park Rapids, MN. Do they use such a slogan,
or program name? Or maybe KAAN in Bethany MO (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1590, Oct 30 at 0307 UT as I am rotating the
DX-398 to peak/null presumed WCGO IL, something appears briefly in the null,
``Your shopping mall on the radio, KGAD``, or fuzzily similar calls. KDAV
Lubbock TX would be closest, supposedly oldies, and maybe silent? Or KVGB Great
Bend KS? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 4915.068,
Oct 31 at 1305, JBA carrier notable for being considerably off-frequency unlike
many such still on the 60m band shortly after sunrise, corresponding mostly to
India/Tibet/China channels, but NO Asians are listed on 4915, just two
Brazilians, impossible now. Possibly something local, but have not noticed it
before. Or an All India Radio way off-frequency, which they are quite prone to
do (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Glenn Hauser logs October 30, 2016
** CANADA. 7850-CUSB, Oct 30 at 0633, absolutely no signal from CHU,
demonstrating how low the MUF has sunk, but still in well on 3330-CUSB (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [and non]. 7435, Oct 30 at 1320,
R. Martí, W&M conversation clear of jamming on new Greenville frequency,
while jamming remains on ex-7405 and ex-9805, while the second RM frequency is
really now 11930 with some lite pulse jamming but not yet wall-of-noise. Also
WON jamming on 13605 at 1331 check, which will soon be replaced, as every
winter, by 13820, clear except for a JBA carrier, presumably Iran, Arabic at
0830-1430, and NOT ``Moskva`` in Russian as imaginatively registered at
0800-1600. RM 13820 span is 14-20 UT, and might also clash with Egypt in Urdu at
16-18. The incompetent DentroCuban Jamming Command is always slow to catch up to
non-secret seasonal changes. But then Arnie would have to admit to consulting
HFCC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDIA [and non]. 9865,
Oct 30 at 1318, AIR VBS with Indian pop music, S2-S4 but after many years,
FINALLY clear of ChiCom CCI, which stays on 9870, CRI English, 13-16, 500 kW,
200 degrees from Xi`an toward India. AIR frequency management is finally doing
its job (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KURDISTAN [non]. 9400,
Oct 30 at 1314, Denge Kurdistane is back on its B-season frequency, ex-11600.
Unexpectedly good for starters, and surprisingly, no CCI from FEBC Philippines
like last winter --- maybe because FE propagation is so degraded today? That`s
still registered at 10-14 in Chinese, 100 kW, 330 degrees from Iba. Some ACI
from 9395-WRMI. At 1337 still good and clear at S9+10; 1358 check music, 1403 ID
and Kurdish talk. By 1440 recheck, declined to S5-S8 but still QRM-free. Ivo
Ivanov shows site change at 1400 from PRIDNESTROVYE to BULGARIA.
HFCC
B-16 shows these sites for some BRB client on 9400: 04-08 & 12-20
PRIDNESTROVYE. 08-12 ARMENIA. Also something ``New`` for SPC BULGARIA in
``English`` at 0200-2359! This is quite contradicted by Ivo Ivanov`s
better-informed lineup:
``From Oct 30 11600 will be changed to new 9400
as follows
0400-0800 on 9400 KCH 300 kW / 130 deg WeAs Kurdish
[PRIDNESTROVYE]

[PRIDNESTROVYE]
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NEW
ZEALAND. 11610, Oct 30 at 1119, very poor signal from algo, presumed RNZI on
brand NF toward NNW rather than NNE. Per B-16 HFCC there is now a 2-hour break
in ChiCom usage of 11610, just right for RNZI at 11-13.
9700, Oct 30 at
1305, RNZI on reactivated summer channel, ex-6170; S5-S8 with Pacific news
starting with human rights in Fiji; some splatter from 9710 CUBA, diminished by
LSB tuning. Hope 9700 will improve once propagation disturbance be over (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ROMANIA [and non]. 9610, Oct 30 at
1309, language lessons with phrases repeated, 1312 ID ``Saut Romani``, so RRI as
now scheduled 1300-1330 in Arabic, 300 kW, 142 degrees from Tsiganeshti. Wonder
if it`s long-path, as Europe by short is not to be expected at this time. Also
happen across another Arabic frequency just before 1327* with IS, 11945, which
is 300 kW, 140 degrees from Galbeni. Then at 1329, the B-B-C- chimes are JBA,
which is SINGAPORE about to open Myanmarianese (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** SOUTH CAROLINA [non non]. 7315, Oct 30 at 0637, Brother Scare
via WHRI running roughly a minute behind 7570 WRMI, talking about his
sub-tabernacle in Henryetta OK (due S of Tulsa, due E of OKC). Believe this
replace 7355 which is no longer registered at this hour (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** TURKEY. 12035, Oct 30 at 1327, no signal yet from
VOT on winter English frequency, ex-15450 at 1230; 1329, now S3 with VOT IS,
1330 accurate timesignal, but far too weak, despite 500 kW, at 310 degrees
toward UK and US. Yet ROMANIA has managed to put a good signal into here on
11945 with its IS until 1327*, and that`s 300 kW, 140 degrees in Arabic! Long
path? (also 9610, see ROMANIA) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
**
U S A. 7780, Oct 30 at 0629, the PCJ Radio International special, `From the
Archives of Radio Nederland` #4, supposed to be all about Eddie Startz this
month, is NOT airing at scheduled time of 0600-0800 on WRMI 7780 to Europe.
Instead I am hearing some familiar `World Music` default fill, African
percussion & chanting, 0632 on to another tune. Still music at 0701 final
check. This is S9+10, but off side of beam as always much weaker here than BS on
7570 to NW at S9+50, and 7730 to WNW at S9+30. I suppose there will be another
try to make good a week later. Meanwhile, will the scheduled repeat to North
America, UT Monday October 31 at 0100-0300 on 7570, transpire? (frequency which
Keith mis-spoke on MN+ at ``7750``) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A. 11580, Sunday Oct 30 at 1441, preaching other than TOM
on WRMI-1, since `Worship in your Home` is on sked grid as Sundays only
1300-1500, but doesn`t show what occurs rest of week, which as we hear, is
really World Music during the 14-15 hour (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A. 5810, Oct 30 at 1335, WEWN Spanish is still on and JBA
carrier on 15610 must be WEWN English; but neither 11550 nor 12050 is on with
Spanish. WEWN has yet to put up a B-16 sked but A-16:
shows
both 25m frequencies during this hour, and 5810 finishing at 0500! HFCC B-16
shows 11550 totally abandoned by WEWN, 12050 starting at 1400; AND: 5810 greatly
expanded to a 00-14 UT span. But only two of any three scheduled frequencies are
funxioning until and unless the third transmitter be fixed (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** ZAMBIA. 13680, Oct 30 at 1332, Voice of Hope -
Africa with scheduled Swing music show as bait for evangelism, only S2. Is such
music really attractive to an African audience? At least the show gets back on
SW with KVOH 9975 still silent (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

Marconi Radio International on air on 31 October 2016 with a Special Halloween Broadcast
Greetings from Italy!
Please be advised that our weekly Tuesday transmission will be replaced in
the week from 31 October to 6 November by a special Halloween brodcast. This means that Marconi Radio International will once again be on
air tomorrow, Monday, 31 October 2016, as follows: 17.00-22.00 UTC on 7700 kHz
(USB Mode) with 100 watts.
To celebrate Halloween, we’ll air a special 45 minute show, with a
number of rock songs, from punk to power metal, with the word "Halloween" in
their title.
As always, this 5 hour broadcast will also include our weekly DX shows
"Italian Shortwave Panorama" (in English) "Panorama Onde Corte" (in Italian),
and "Borderline" (a music show in Italian of lesser known (or played on the
radio) singers and bands.
MRI encourages reception reports from listeners. Audio clips (mp3-file) of
our broadcasts are welcome! We QSL 100%. Our electronic mail address is:
marconiradiointernational (at) gmail.com -
Please don’t forget to include your postal address as some lucky listeners
will also receive a fresh off the press QSL card which can be seen on our
Facebook page at this web-address: https://www.facebook.com/mriworld
Last but not least, we need your help! If you are a DX blogger, or use
social networks, please post an announcement on your own blog and/or Facebook or
send out a tweet the day before the broadcast. You can also forward this message
to a friend. This should help increase our potential audience.
We hope to hear from a lot of shortwave listeners about our
transmissions.
Best 73's
Marconi Radio International (MRI)
Glenn Hauser logs October 29-30, 2016
** ALBANIA. 7474.97, Oct 30 at 0038, JBA carrier, presumed R. Tirana as now
scheduled for B-16 in daily Albanian hour to North America. Propagation from
Europe is much degraded tonight, on 9, 7 and even 6 MHz bands. English should be
at 0230 on same except UT Mondays, so we can`t check that until UT Tuesday.
Drita Çiço says new 7475 had a very good signal at 0003 Oct 30, via groundwave
into the R. Tirana monitoring center. Also, there have been some reports from
listeners about earlier broadcasts Oct 29 and 30 that the modulation had greatly
improved; let`s hope for good (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
**
CUBA [and non]. 5025, Oct 30 at 0015, R. Rebelde is dead air again, S9+25,
suffering splatter from 5050 WWRB (not 5040 RHC as I first suspected, which is
nominal). By 0116 Rebelde seems off, and I have an S6 carrier about 5024.99,
Quillabamba, Perú? By 0138 this is just barely modulated, so I compare it to
1180 Rebelde, and no match. However, there are really two slightly offset
carriers around 5025, so RR may still be on at much reduced power. I might have
blamed poor propagation, were 5040 RHC not still inbooming, unlike on higher
bands (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [and non]. 7365,
Oct 30 at 0107, R. Martí with WS béisbol, like last night better here and with
much less jamming than on // 6030. If there are further games in the sequence,
note that for B-16, 7365 is HFCC-registered at 01-02 UT only, preceded and
followed by new 7435 at 23-01 and 02-07! Also 12-14. And no more 7335. Not clear
why, but there is no provision in these regs for one-hour DST shifts caused by
the Week of Confusion.
Strangely, but not surprisingly, I find no
promotion at http://www.martinoticias.com
that
they are broadcasting the so-called Serie Mundial! Keeping below the radar? I
wonder if they really have two announcers at the games, or only working off Fox
TV? Continuous crowd noise behind them could be just SFX. No full program
schedule, but Martí does provide a display of current and immediately upcoming
shows, which I did not check in time (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** INDIA. 9865, Oct 30 at 0111, JBA carrier, presumed AIR VBS
ex-9870 as registered for B-16 at 0010-0435, 0845-1200, 1230-1740, 500 kW, 35
degrees from Bengaluru --- and finally after years and years, edging away from
the collision with CHINA still on 9870. We hope for better propagation now and
without CCCCI (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ITALY [non].
7730, UT Sunday 0ct 30 at 0030 via WRMI, 17-note ID signal a few times on piano,
IBC sign-on in Italian and English, IBC@Europe.com or see http://www.ibcradio.web.com. 0032
starting weekly ham DX news report, `DX-Italia``, in Italian. 0053 recheck, now
some SWBC logs, such as KTWR. Liners in English, but program mostly in Italian.
0055 into ``IBC Digital``, SSTV-sounding beeps. Is also on WRMI scheduled UT Sat
0130 on 11580 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NETHERLANDS
[non]. 6145, UT Sunday Oct 30 at 0048, JBA carrier; can this be The Mighty KBC
via GERMANY as scheduled? I first figured they were AWOL, perhaps leaving India
uncovered, but European propagation is terrible tonight. (CRI Albania 6020 is
only S4-S6 at 0106). Still little or nothing on 6145 at 0104. Sometimes this is
one hour, sometimes two hours, and we are right at A/B-16 transition time so
there could be time confusion or an unexpected new frequency? B-16 HFCC shows
MBR Nauen still registered Sundays only on 6145 at 00-01 and 02-03 (but not
01-02!).
In his publicity for Radiograms, Kim Elliott thought KBC would
still be on this week: ``The Mighty KBC will transmit to North America Sunday
0000-0200 UTC (Saturday 8-10 pm EDT) on 6145 kHz, via Germany. A minute of
MFSK32 will be at about 0130 UTC. KBC will also transmit to Europe Sunday, 30
October, at 1200-1300 UTC, on 6095 kHz. A minute of MFSK32 will be at about 1230
UTC. Reports to Eric: themightykbc (at) gmail.com`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** NEW ZEALAND. 17675, Oct 30 at 0019, RNZI has
reactivated here for B-16, ex-15720 (which is still used shoulderly), only S2,
while Australia 17840 is S4, neither really sufficient under circumstances
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6955.0-USB, Oct
30 at 0045, pirate at S7 with blues/soul music. 0055 now up to S9 with cowboy
song; 0059 seems there is also a wobbly reduced carrier, or is it just music
bed? No ID past 0100, but at 0105, ``You are tuned to Back Country Radio`` with
overlapping echoes, then another voice deliberately distorted so I can`t
understand it giving a .com web address. 0132 check, now it`s off. No other
pirates heard during this sesquihour; presumably there will be a lot more of
them the next night or two for Hallowe`en.
Then I check
and
find everyone logging it there took it as Bat Country Radio, also CW ID as KBAT,
so I must defer to that. (BTW, the area around Freedom OK, Alabaster Cavern is
bat country) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PERU. 5980, Oct
30 at 0102, JBA carrier from R. Chaski, until autocutoff at 0103:12*, which is 8
seconds later than last night, but my timing then may have been one second off;
so compare to previous log, Oct 25 until 0102:39.5*, five nights ago, and 32.5
seconds earlier for an average of 6.5 seconds each, more like it (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** THAILAND. 15589.95, Oct 30 at 0020, very poor
in English, so HSK9 has not yet made B-16 switch to 13745 for so-called North
American service. RHC is still on 13740 tonight, but barely with degraded
propagation (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TURKEY. 6080, Oct
30 at 0402, JBA carrier from presumed VOT on new B-16 frequency for English to N
America --- but propagation is horrible tonight, so even moving two bands down
from 9515 is not enough. At 0300, K index was 4, amid G-1 geomagnetic storms.
Oh2, in A-16, VOA English via SAO TOME was on 6080 during this hour and
audible here --- and it is STILL registered on 6080 for B-16, as well as the
late change by Turkey! So 6080 was not such a great choice after all for TRT. A
quick look at HFCC as of Oct 28 shows 6075 would be open that hour (tho CFRX
6070 might be bothered, and HFCC boycotter CUBA might be planning to go back on
6075; but Turkey could beat them to it; if still on 6080, Cuba 6075 would then
be an ACI problem). (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A.
15220 // 11720, Saturday Oct 29 at 1959, having heard VOA Kriyol yesterday, I`m
checking again, and indeed Greenville is signing on, but 2000 news in English,
2005 VOA One ID and pop music in English, 2009 DJ Larry London who acts as if he
likes this stuff ---- and not a mot of kriyòl to 2030 cut-off tune in progress
for YDD sign-off. 15220 has been a solid S9+10 while 11720 faded between S9 and
S7. BTW, these do NOT appear in HFCC A-16 or B-16 as of October 28. Perhaps
there is no Creole programming produced on weekends, but they keep the
transmitters running anyway? It would be more helpful to the Haitians to
duplicate VOA in real French at the same hour on 15730 & 17530, but
receptionwise, hardly necessary as those two from Greenville to Africa likely
boom into Haiti as well. Then I find this note from a John:
``Glenn, I'm
in Central Florida and I've noted the VOA in Creole between 2000 and 2030
Monday-Friday for the last week and a half, with English broadcasts on Saturday
and Sunday. Frequencies remain 11720 and 15220 kHz. Signals are always very
strong here, S9 +50 on 11720, S9 +10 on 15220 kHz. I don't know how long these
transmissions will continue for. My regards, John`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1849 monitoring. Altho I could
not hear it via UTwente, Alan Gale in UK confirms the Sat Oct 29 1431 UT
broadcast was audible there on 7265-CUSB, apparently skipping over the SDR in
Holland. Ivo Ivanov in Bulgaria also confirms the Sat Oct 29 at 0631 UT
broadcast on 6190-CUSB. Confirmed here the Sat 2230 broadcast on WBCQ
9330.007v-CUSB. Also confirmed UT Sunday October 30 at 0327 on WA0RCR, 1860-AM,
MO, 6 minutes in, so started circa 0321; S9+20 and no LSB QRM, as a big contest
congesting 40m apparently is off-limits to 160. Next:

** U S A.

** U S A. 9930, Sat Oct 29 at
1823, theatre organ music on WTWW-2. Must be that new show we had been hearing
UT Sundays after 0100 on 5085. Yes, announcement says it`s Theatre Organ of the
Ozarx, address in Pleasant Hill MO, but music this week is from an instrument in
Belleville IL, 300 miles away. First of all, Pleasant Hill is just south of
Kansas City, not exactly in the Ozarx! Second of all, the distance between them
is only 232 statute miles crowly, or 261 miles drively. Says a second time has
been added, Sat 1 pm [CT] on 9930; but runs until 1835 WTWW ID, so must have
started late circa 1806 UT. Super-strong but a shame that the great organ music
be marred by WTWW modulation rather distorted, plus some selective fading
distortion (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 5025-5070
approx., Oct 30 at 0015, range of splatter out of 5050 WWRB, bothering 5040 RHC
and heard on 5025 against the Rebelde carrier. At 0135, I notice 5050 bears
crosstalk from a different speaker, somewhat softer underneath, re something she
did in 1992 and 1993 --- I bet it`s about Hillary. 0144 still two audios mixing,
the underone louder than before. The overone IDs as `Heart & Soul of
America Broadcast`, Centreville VA, offers anti-Semitic DVD. Way to go, Dave!
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 5810, Oct 30 at 0051,
no signal from WEWN, which is registered to start at 0000 both in A-16 and B-16;
11520 has a JBA carrier, and 11870 also missing. But at 0109, now 5810 is on and
inbooming at S9+20 with Rosary in Spanish (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** VIETNAM [non]. 7315, Oct 30 at 0041, V. of Vietnam is still
here via WHRI, in stilted Spanish, with QRM --- or rather voice-under remaining
during translation, a no-no on SW. Only S8. If still going Oct 31, we may start
to assume VOV relay be prolonged into B-16, including English at 0000 and/or
0100 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1650, Oct 30
at 0112 UT, still can`t pull any sign of ``SAC`` beacon which DXers further east
and south are getting, thought to be on an oil platform in the NE Gulf of
Mexico. Even by narrow bandwidth, BFO in both sidebands of the 1650 broadcasters

Equipment: Sony ICF-2001D 30 m. long wire
Glenn Hauser logs October 29, 2016
** CUBA [and non]. 9955, Oct 29 at 0619, pulse jamming is running despite WRMI programming now nothing but BS; both weak at about equal levels (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GERMANY. 6190, Oct 29 at 0620, NO signal from Hamburger Lokalradio, or anything. Tho at 1 kW certainly intended only for Europe, I`ve long been desirous of picking up this longtime WORLD OF RADIO affiliate directly. WOR coming up at 0630 after Switzerland in Sound. Today was my best chance propagationally before the time shift next week to one hour later, WOR at 0730. In B-16, co-channel QRM will also resume from BBC via South Africa until 0800, which we hope will have faded out in Europe by 0730.
7265, Oct 29 at 1414, via UTwente SDR, NO signal from HLR other frequency either, so suspected not on, during Media Network Plus, nor at further chex before 1500 for WORLD OF RADIO at 1431 (which from next week will be at 1531, and once again colliding with CRI English via Kashgar, East Turkistan at 1400-1600, 174 degrees for S Asia, but in winter also a blocker for HLR in Europe.) Now there is ACI from 7270 and also something on 7260 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NEW ZEALAND. 6170, Oct 29 at 1358, RNZI is still on A-16 frequency, while its replacement from tomorrow, 9700 is vacant except for heavy splash from 9710 CUBA, which might then be a problem (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** UGANDA [non]. 15240, Sat Oct 29 at 1608, since I have UTwente SDR up, check for R. Munansi via WWRB: yes, hilife music but very poor. Then checking 15240 on my own receiver at 1609: same music and merely poor. Presumably will get down to anti-Muséveni business by 1700 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ZAMBIA [and non]. 13680, Saturday Oct 29 at 1356, stray Cuban pulse jammer at the rate of 80/minute, unlike the wall of noise against 13605 Radio Martí (which tomorrow at 14-20 makes usual B-season switch to 13820, why? How long will it take the DCJC to catch up with it?).
I`m seeking Voice of Hope - Africa as scheduled weekends only at 12-17 UT, but which achieved a good signal here only once in early October, long-path? There is now a VP signal under the jamming, maybe this. Should be jazz or swing music show.
Since I have the UTwente SDR up to try to hear 7265 HLR with WOR (not), I then employ it on 13680. At 1415 Oct 29, yes, talk in English about missionaring in Africa. But at 1440 recheck strong signal in Farsi, which, as soon IDed, is NHK, listed as FRANCE relay at 1430-1500. Zambia can barely be heard underneath it. At 1500, ``Amazing Grace`` is mixing with NHK timesignal and CRI theme, which continues but much weaker than NHK was, allowing Voice of Hope ID also to be copied. By 1508, CRI in Chinese via Kashgar is about equal level to VOH-A. Also considerable ACI from 13675 which is ChiCom jamming vs RFA Chinese via Tajikistan at 15-17. 13685 is also listed for CRI English via Mali.
What`s going to happen from tomorrow with B-16 schedules? I thought someone from Voice of Hope was at HFCC Miami in August, yet currently there are NO HFCC registrations from VOH Lusaka/Zambia! Just KVOH 17775 and imaginary 9975. If they do plan to keep on 13680, what will they encounter from stations which did register? Nothing on 13680 except 0450-0550 Iran in Swahili. Nothing on 13675 during VOH-A hours. On 13685 will still be CRI Mali, and at 1330-1430 Turkey in Uighur. Looks like it`s safe to keep 13680. And how about 11680 if they stay there for the 05-08 UT broadcast on weekdays? Nothing else listed, and adjacently, only 11685, CNR in Tibetan from Beijing, should not be a problem. How about 9680, the other VOH-A frequency? Only competing Christian broadcaster KNLS Alaska has registered it at 07-08 and three later hours. Of course anything concerning Taiwan and the consequent radio war with China is banned from HFCC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BRAZIL. 5035, Oct 29 at 0107, very poor signal with Doppler flutter,
presumably R. Aparecida, normally masked by splash from 5040 RHC, which is off
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. 9818.87, Oct 29 at
0039, very poor S4-S5 carrier, no doubt R. Nove de Julho, always off-frequency
below 9820, and sometimes even below 9819 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING

LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [and non]. 7365, Oct 29 at 0048, R. Martí, with
béisbol game, mentions American League, Cleveland, player Tyler Naquin (sp?).
Therefore I am confident that the only silly BB game that might be broadcasting
now would be the North American Sequence. I figured RM would be carrying it (but
nostation in English) since Rick Wald wondered if the ``World Series`` could be
heard anywhere on SW. Jamming quite lite now on 7365, but heavy on // 6030.
Wonder if the DentroCuban Jamming Command relented a bit for the occasion? Rick
laments that at his location in BC, 6030 is blocked by Calgary comedy station
CKMX via CFVP! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDIA. 9690,
Oct 28 at 1327, AIR with S Asian music, but not their enchanting interval
signal, S4-S6. Pause about a semi-minute and 1330:10 signing on the GOS in
English; clear, no QRM, but only S4-S6 and also on // 13710 at S3-S5, 1331 into

at this time, and assumed it was staying off since Kim Elliott told us its final
day was Oct 14. Has it been back since then, or M-F only? Or ad-hoc, maybe on,

** U S A. 7490, 5130 & 3250, UT Sat Oct 29
at 0010, WBCQ with `Allan Weiner Worldwide`, trimulcasting in disturbed auroral
conditions, which weakens 7490 here, makes delayed // 5130.08 unusually better
at S9+25. Says 3250 is also on air, but at first all I can perceive is a JBA
carrier circa 3250.3. By 0028, 5130 is fading down too, S7. By 0056, 3250
modulation is detectable // 7490. 0112 recheck, now some program info, but copy
is getting difficult on any frequency. Charlie Prince show in German will be on
a week from tomorrow, Sat 9 pm ET on 9330 [UT Nov 6 when DST will still be in
effect, so = 01 UT Sunday]. Carol Babaloo (?) will be a 3-hour extravagaza music
show, episode 1, Sunday Nov 20 at 3-6 pm EST on 5130 (20-23 UT). Dead Frog Radio
will be once a month, I think he said.
In promoting his fund drive,
Allan asserts that he would like to see some liberal / leftwing/ progressive
programming on WBCQ, but none such wants to appear. Maybe the fundraiser will
allow something like that to be underwritten. At 0123, 7490 has recovered to
S9+10 for his benedixion, piously calling upon God to intervene in the elexion
and ``bring us a good president`` which he says we have not really had in his
lifetime. Allan, of course, is backing Trump, no matter what. Says his absentee
ballot is on hand, waiting until just before he departs for winter in Florida,
before elexion day (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9917.12 &
9942.90, Oct 28 at 2010 during presumed Dave Ramsey Show on 9930v WTWW-2, also
approx. plus/minus 12.9 kHz spurs out of it just like it spews around 5085 at
night. Maybe a trace of modulation on the upper one (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1480, Oct 28 at 1305 UT, KBXD Dallas with
ad for that jeweler in Frisco and something in another Metroplex suburb, IDs in
passing as Radio Salam, M&W hosts in Hinglish; 1307 UT traffic report of
necessity mostly in English; with usual slow SAH vs KQAM Wichita (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** YEMEN [non]. 11860, Oct 28 at 1319, Republic
of Yemen Radio, is good at S9 in Arabic, surely long-path as hi-latitude signals
are quite poor by comparison, i.e. China, Japan (but further south Tinian &
Saipan on 12110 & 12140 are better). By 1433, 11860 is S9 plus 10 to 20. I
keep listening in case there be a Qur`anic vesper break. No, but mostly music
1433 past 1500, including ``triumphal`` theme segments they play every day

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Pacific JBA
MW carrier search October 28, UT:
702-WSW at 1233, two carriers
beating
774-WSW at 1233
1098-W at 1238
576-, at 1235, 1241,
somewhat NW but hard to peak, and it`s a bit off-frequency to lo side, so

OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1590, Oct 29 at 0026 UT, I`m
checking for the S Asian music John Reed in Shawnee OK had reported to NRC DX
News a couple weeks ago which he concluded came from KLIV, way out in San José,
California. Doubtful to me, so I researched that and concluded it was most
likely WCGO Evanston IL. Here`s his report and what I wrote in
reply:
``1590, KLIV, CA, San José – 10/14 2130 [EDT = 0130 UT Oct 15] –
After listening to this station occasionally over a span of several years, but
hearing no ID I finally IDed it. The broadcast is in Hindi language with a few
English words and pop Hindi music. Snooping around on the internet turned up
KLIV as broadcasting Hindi and Bollywood music. That’s it!`` (John Reed,
Shawnee, OK, Brigantina (USSR-made in the 1990s); NRD-525; AOR AR-7030; Homebrew
tuned ferrite loops, Clifton Labs active whip, phaser, Domestic DX Digest-West,
NRC DX News Oct 31 via DXLD)
```! KLIV is 5/5 kW, and October FCC sunset
is 0130 UT. NRC Pattern Book shows both night and day patterns are circle
northwest into the Pacific. Should not be putting any signal toward us. But FCC
AM Query says it`s NON-direxional daytime, so John may have got it just at
switch time (November: 0100 UT). I`ll have to look for it! But his ID is
apparently based on format, not ID --- could it be anything closer?
WCGO
Evanston IL, 10/2.5 kW U2 is partly ETHnic. Nothing else around here could fit
unless another radical change, but he`s been getting this for years.
NRC
AM Log 2016-2017 shows KLIV as C&W, 24-hour ``Country Gold 1590``, but could
have flipped since August? Radio-locator.com still has KLIV as Country Gold with
different patterns day and night, but not that different, with some signal still
to the east.
From Own website:
``Welcome
to 1590 KLIV – San Jose’s Country Gold. Your destination for country music from
the 80’s, 90’s, and 2000’s. You might be looking for what was once Silicon
Valley’s New[s] Station. On June 10, 2016 KLIV sent out its last news broadcast.
So why Country Gold, and why just this era? These were the best years for
country radio, with the introduction of amazing artists like Garth Brooks, Reba,
Alan Jackson, Vince Gill, Trisha Yearwood, Tim McGraw, and Martina McBride. We’d
like to bring you these artists, and many more, right here on 1590 KLIV Country
Gold``
So there was a recent format flip, but certainly not to Bollywood.
And it took no more than 5 seconds of listening to
at
0343 UT October 28 to tell that it`s country, not Bollywood.
So where on
the internet did John find KLIV to be Hindi and Bollywood? Long outdated info,
or from the future?
Now let`s check out WCGO Evanston IL
It`s
mostly talk, but some shows look like they are not in English. His log was
Friday at 8:30 pm CDT, so on the sked M-F is:
7 pm - 11 pm Night Star Radio
Joe Rasho.
I bring up stream at 0355 UT Oct 28, just before the show is to
end:
and
yes, non-English announcement, and S Asian? music. 0359 UT closing announcement
unseems Hindi, but more like Hebrew? They do have a number of Jewish programs.
No, but close: searching on Joe Rasho WCGO reveals it`s one of their ASSYRIAN
programs:
or
just
I think John must have been getting WCGO instead. It`s N-D day, but
night pattern is supposed to go NNE, no good for us. Likely another one running
day pattern at night, at least when we could hear it. I`ll be trying to hear it;
if he or I can, getting a DF fix on it should confirm whether it could be WCGO,
and not KLIV.
I`m glad I was led to WCGO since I see they also have a
Milt Rosenberg page, ex-WGN, which says
``MILT IS CURRENTLY TAKING A
BREAK FROM HIS LIVD [sic] RADIO PROGRAM. DOWNLOAD HIS SHOW PODCASTS TO KEEP YOUR
BRAIN IN SHAPE! Podcast Feed: http://feedpress.me/milt-rosenberg
``
You may skip the anti-Obama ones```
Now at 0026 UT Oct 29 there is
heavy CCI on 1590, but looping NE seems to be some ME or S Asian music and
non-English talk in the mix. Unfortunately, logistically, I can`t DX and check
webcasts simultaneously. Competition at first is ESE/WNW English call-in for
Biblical advice, unsure whence, gone after 0030 UT, sunset? That was nullable,
but still too much QRM to pull anything from WCGO(?). Will need to be on ND day
pattern to have a chance here. At 0043 UT I`m getting something else in English,
probably NNW, KVGB in KS. I keep nulling that and aiming toward Chicago,
undivided attention to 1590 from 0058 UT to 0102 UT, but nothing surfaces above
the pileup. Conditions might have been auroral, but no, Chicago 1690, 780 and
670 are in just fine at 0028 UT check.
WCGO would legally be on ND day
pattern only until 2315 UT in October, 2230 UT in November. That`s before the
Assyrian program on weekdays, altho on Saturdays there are several of them all
afternoon as late as 7 pm CT. A.k.a. Neo-Aramaic:
(Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1650, Oct 29 at 0010 UT
and several more chex the following hour+, no signal from beacon SAC, which was
being reported last night, first by Tim Tromp in Michigan. Speculation was that
SAC was another test from a beacon manufacturer in Beaumont TX, which was heard
a few years ago on 320 and 325 kHz, but if this is a harmonic, the fundamental
would have to be 330 instead. (Not heard here on 330 either.) Les Rayburn in AL
was getting it from the southeast, called the company and they said it`s not
them now, but I wonder if one of their units has been installed somewhere in the
Gulf or Caribbean, still programmed to emit the temporary test ID of SAC. Oil
rigs at sea may well use the X-band fundamentally. Anyhow, all I am hearing are
the usual CO and IA 1650 broadcast stations (and precious little from OK`s own
KFSW). On Oct 28, Tim Tromp was getting it again as early as 2218 UT, as was
Mark Pettifor in Indiana at 2245 UT. For them it was roughly southward. And this
just in on the NRC-AM list:
``1650, SAC beacon. Per tips on NRC/IRCA
lists reporting this one, I have it here (just W of Gainesville, FL) at
0150-0215+ UT with CW. Signal is fair to very good, equal to and at times over
