** AUSTRALIA. 2325 at S8 & 2485 at S7, Jan 30 at 1358, the VL8s still audible past sunrise here, the last chance to hear them as shutdown is announced for 0230 UT Tuesday Jan 31 (noon local time) according to Brian Powell, Sydney. 

And 4835, VL8A much stronger as usual S9+10, and listenable. W&M conversation continues thru 1400 UT hourtop as that`s their hourbottom. Discussion of road trips around Australia, such as to Cape Tribulation, Thursday Island (surely off-road), and including NT; 1405 outro interviewee as Lara on `Night Life`` (or `Night Light`?), on to national weather, evidently not an NT produxion. 1409 outro Jenny from the National Weather Bureau; into Rachel in studio, discussing the horrific rampage in Melbourne 10 days ago; another victim has died making 6; 9 still in hospital, one of them critical. 1420 now it`s about prison conditions, 1422 financial news; 1424 Trump`s rejection of refugees, and fading town.

Meanwhile as late as 1414, there are still lots of Asian carriers on 60m, frequencies corresponding to Indonesia, India, Tibet, East Turkistan. Once ABC is gone from 4835, we shall have a slight chance for Sikkim (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** AUSTRALIA. 9580, Jan 30 at 1426, as VL8A is fading out, I switch to R. Australia, probably its last day on SW, tho the exact closing time hasn`t been revealed. Item about clown doctors farting at a children`s hospital (attn: Uncle Eric! I think this is for real in Australia, rather than the Adult Swim TV show), 1430 outro as having been `Editor`s Choice` program, and right into next program, title of which I never hear and suspect never uttered, but it`s all about a film shot in a Vanuatu village whose people have decided to live traditionally altho not far from a town. Tena? Tana? Googling finds this review which seems to be it, about Tanna, not exactly recent, from Sept 2015. 

http://variety.com/2015/film/festivals/tanna-review-venice-film-festival-1201588554/

The ``forbidden love story`` angle in the review was not evident from this discussion, but about how great it was to get away from Western civilization. It`s a contender for a Best Foreign Language Oscar TBA January 24 (2017? Or 2016?), which maybe accounts for this being (re)aired now. Does the Radio Australia online program schedule have any entry for 1430 UT Mon Jan 30? Of course not! Could be a continuation of Editor`s Choice? 

Furthermore there is a filler at 1455 called `Australian Snapshot` about some ballet dancer getting to study with the Bolshoi in Moscow. From 1453 there is ACI from 9585 with the TWR Swaziland music-box IS, but evitable by LSB tuning.

9580, rechecked at 1535, now interviewing an American about conservative Republicans` hostility toward the arts, i.e. funding NEA and NEH. This brings up another significant point: ABC and RA interview a LOT of Americans on their talk shows, far more than we could ever hear on VOA curtailed schedule! And far more than Aussies are interviewed on American domestic radio.

So what program is this? On the sked for 1500 (meaning 1505!) is `Best of the Festivals` which seems to be about talk rather than music, and no entry for 1530, so is it really an almost-hour show? Only way to tell is by downloading the latest podcast, but it`s for Jan 22, lasting 53:52. Anyway the topic heard is not mentioned as content for that edition (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 5025, Jan 30 at 1414, R. Rebelde is back on with music and still propagating; had been off a lot at night (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NORTH AMERICA. 7465, Jan 30 at 0325, YHWH on here tonight, steady S9, then some fades to S5. Modulation always a bit rough, but Elliott speaks his nonsense clearly. 0355 still at S9+5, somewhat suptorted. Off at next check 0406 (as 7460 now abuts in Kinyarwanda, VOA Botswana starting at 0330 tho I had not noticed it before 0400) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [non]. 4930, Jan 30 at 0330, VOA via BOTSWANA starting `International Edition` for Jan 30, topix travel ban, protests, Myanmar, social media trendings. First 5 minutes I hear about acting president Thump`s travel ban and protests over the weekend seem even-handed. Better signal than usual on this frequency, and surely the best of any to hear VOA at this hour (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1862 monitoring: confirmed UT Monday January 30 after 0030 on WBCQ 9329.8v-CUSB, but very poor. Also confirmed UT Mon Jan 30 starting at 0406 on Area 51 via WBCQ, 5129.825-AM, S9+10/20 (JL ran late, no ``bye, y`all`` until 0406). I missed checking WRMI, 9955, UT Mon 0430, but it was very weak around 0400. Next:

Tue 0030   WBCQ 9330v-CUSB to WSW

Tue 0030   WRMI 7730 to WNW

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 840, Jan 30 from 1340 UT, another try for the Spanish religious station. With WHAS nulled, at first I hear an English KTIC ID in passing from Nebraska; by 1342 UT fades up some praise music in Spanish, and bits until 1353 UT from suspected KVJY. Night before during SW bandscan 0321-0355 UT Jan 30 I also had DX-398 set up for this, but no shows (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Glenn Hauser logs January 28-29, 2017

** AUSTRALIA [and non]. 9580, Jan 29 at 1405, R. Australia on its third-to-last day, and with rapid regular fading as if a second carrier is on, itching to take its place; but no other modulation audible. It could be as per Aoki, starting Jan 11, BBC in Dari and Pashto via UAE at 1330-1430, not usually noticeable here. RA remains inaudible on 12085, and JBA carrier on 12065. 4835 VL8A still audible past 1400 not // RA but maybe 30 or 90 minutes offset (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CANADA. 15034-USB, Jan 29 at 1432, CHR Trenton Military with a different quartet of aerodromes than I`ve heard before in random chex, Zagreb, Split, Ancona-Falconara [Italy], Thule. No report received from some of them. Some have altimeters specified in kilopascals, while Thule is in inches of mercury, unspecified. Then terminal forecasts for all four: NRR. 1436 ID, mis-timecheck for 1335z, and on to Shannon etc. group. This site has detailed schedules for this and many/all? other VOLMET stations; 5-minute segments on CHR except a break at :00 to :10 for possible live broadcasts:

http://www.dxinfocentre.com/volmet-wx.htm

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 5890, Jan 29 at 0153, lite pulse jamming in the absence of WWCR on UT Sun --- IIRC, 5890 used to be a VOA Spanish and maybe Martí frequency years ago, requiring jamming, and once that happen, the incompetent DentroCuban Jamming Command will show up again and again ad infinitum (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA [non]. 5025, Jan 29 at 0119 check, R. Rebelde is still off and there is a JBA signal about 5024.9, presumably R. Quillabamba, Perú (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NETHERLANDS [non]. 6145, UT Sun Jan 29 at 0145, The Mighty KBC via GERMANY, as Kraig Krist is introducing Conway Twitty on this week`s Forgotten Song, ``It`s Only Make-Believe`` from Sept 1958. Sounds a bit like Elvis, until 0148 back to Uncle Eric. Wish I kould katch Kraig more often but the time is not fixed, and during Saturday night DX sessions there is too much else going on (pirates, etc.) to keep listening to one frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NORTH AMERICA. 5790.0-AM, Jan 29 at 0154, Station YHWH is on at S9-S7, suptorted modulation, about an ``infamous homosexual in the Catholic whore Church``. Nasty stuff Martin K. Elliott purveys from his trailer transmitter somewhere out West (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6930-USB, Jan 29 at 0129 tune-in to rude noises and sound FX, ID twice first sounding like Radio El Mundo? And then Radio Garbunzo. Numerous logs here say it`s Radio Garbanzo until 0129*

https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,32560.0.html

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PERU. 5980, Jan 29 at 0103, JBA carrier from R. Chaski, until autocutoff at 0106:38.5*. Last previous check was 11 days ago, Jan 18 until 0105:25.5*, i.e. 75 seconds earlier, so keeping close to the average slippage of 6.8 seconds later per noctem (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) 

** UGANDA [and non]. 15240, Sunday January 29 at 1733, big whine on fair signal from WWRB, instead of R. Munansi; presumably, modulation input problem (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1862 monitoring: confirmed Sat Jan 28 at 2330 on WBCQ 9330v-CUSB, good (remember, one hour earlier than 6 other days of week). Also confirmed UT Sunday January 29 at 0431 on WA0RCR, 1860-AM, MO, about 5 minutes in during CHR item, so started late circa 0426. Heavy CW QRM on both sides due to some 160m contest; it`s amazing how many signals pile up on this band only when there is a contest. Checked earlier at 0122 UT during ARRL News on WA0RCR, the CW continued up to 1880, then phone, mostly SSB. Next:

Mon 0030   WBCQ 9330v-CUSB to WSW

Mon 0400v  WBCQ 5130v Area 51 to WSW

Mon 0430   WRMI 9955 to SSE

Thu 0030   WBCQ 9330v-CUSB to WSW

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9329.635v-CUSB, Jan 29 at 1415, WBCQ BS has drifted much lower than usual; in fact quite listenable on 9329.666 where I tuned it first, ha3 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 3215, UT Sun Jan 29 at 0126, WWRB is still purveying wacko gospel huxters, two or three guys in a lather about the imminent New World Order, economic collapse, blasting Pope Francis, mobile phones, etc., etc., justified by prophetic Biblical citations. Modulation and hum are awful too as usual (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also UGANDA [non]

** U S A. 660, Jan 28 at 2330 UT, I turn on the PL-880 still tuned to 660, and there`s Navajo talk from KTNN AZ, as heard four hours earlier already, but nothing unusual now, just before sunset here, and while still on their ND 50 kW day power (sometimes, extending past their own sunset) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 840, Jan 29 at 1402 UT, WHAS still dominant with news, ID, but nulled, a gospel huxter in English, and in third place some Spanish music, presumably praise from suspected KVJY Pharr TX (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 2130 kHz, Jan 29 at 0121, JBA carrier, presumably a 3 x 710 harmonic, as first reported the previous morning Jan 28 by Tim Tromp, MI, to the harmonics yg:

``2130 kHz at 1222 UT and there's a decent carrier with threshold music being heard but too weak to identify a language or other useful details. Loops towards the South from West Michigan. Anyone else?``

And an update from UT Jan 29, about the same time I heard the carrier:

``Checked 2130 kHz again this evening and found a signal there, presumably the same one I heard this morning but slightly stronger now at 0100 UT. Music now being heard from Madonna and Fleetwood Mac and some older hits from the 50s or 60s. Now at 0127 UT (8:27 pm EST) and the carrier drops and it's gone suggesting a 710 daytimer has just ended its broadcast day. No clear ID heard. Maybe WTPR? 73, Tim Tromp, West Michigan``

If a daytimer going off, 0130 UT would have to be the west coast. Official Jan sunset even for KSPN LA is 0100 UT. NRC AM Log says WTPR Paris TN operates according to WOR/NYC SR/SS times, which would be even much earlier. ``Greatest Hits of All Time`` format seems to fit, tho. 73, (Glenn Hauser, OK, harmonics yg via DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 11472-11502, Jan 29 at 1428, OTH radar pulsing at a low pitch (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Glenn Hauser logs January 28, 2017

** CANADA. 15034-USB, Jan 28 at 1922, CHR with aviation weather successfully for Winnipeg, Edmonton, Calgary, Cold Lake, giving altimeters in inches of mercury, e.g. 29.89 instead of kilopascals as heard elsewhen; what`s with that? The units for all readings are never specified, but obvious. It`s only minus 6 in Winnipeg, heat wave. 1926 on to terminal forecasts --- non as ``no report received`` from the same quartet; and local mis-time as `1-8-2-5 zulu`. Back to av. wx. OK for next quartet starting with Comox (COE-mocks), etc. (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** FRANCE. 13740, Jan 28 at 1909, very poor signal in French talk. HFCC shows RFI on here at 17-18 and 19-20 until Feb 12 when it will be 17-20, but with azimuth changes every hour, four different angles to Africaparts (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GREECE. 9420, Jan 28 at 0635, ERT is S9+10 with Greek novelty song, and so is // 9935; quite an improvement as overnight MUF has been below this most of the time. If it persist, we may hear Orthodox service 24 hours later (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MOROCCO. 9575, Jan 28 0635, no signal from Médi 1, despite Greece propagating well on 9420 & 9935. Nador at best has rarely been listenable, but often a carrier. I gather from other reports that despite 24-hour schedule, it is rather irregular, but recently reported to be back (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 1600, Sat Jan 28 at 1928 UT, KUSH, Cushing playing jive music, subformat Americana, I suppose. Weekday afternoons, it`s talk shows (after me, the deluge from Trans-Canada) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SPAIN [and non]. 9690, Sat Jan 28 at 1915, REE with SBG at S8, while 15390 is a JBA carrier, and 15500 a JJBA carrier. Earlier scanning the 16m band, NOTHING! Except a JBA carrier on 17755.6, perhaps a birdie instead of off-frequency REE (at 1903 tried 13m and had only JBA carriers from 21675 WRMI and 21610 WHRI, typically now) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** UGANDA [non]. 15240, Sat Jan 28 after 1600, UTwente is still running, so I check for R. Munansi via WWRB: nothing, nor at 1741, 1815. At 1902 even here on my own NRD-545, I only get a JBA carrier, presumably that (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 13564, Jan 28 at 1910, GNK beacon on CW from Madison WI. Frequently scan the HIFER band 13550-13570, but hadn`t heard this or any for some weeks (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1862 monitoring: 7265-CUSB, Sat Jan 28 at 1545, checking UTwente web SDR in Holland, can only hear CRI alternating Hindi and Chinese in evident language lesson, not WOR. CRI stops at 1558, and then there is a JBA gh from Hamburger Lokalradio, but still weak CCI, maybe Azad Kashmir. *1600 much stronger CRI cuts on with IS, theme and opening Russian. Next WORLD OF RADIO chances:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 6855, Jan 28 at 1919, JBA signal from WRMI. I`m still waiting for anyone closer to Okee to confirm what`s on this during the daytime, but I hear a trace of music, not // to 11825, so it`s not Brother Scare, presumably World Music. Sked grid shows System B at 12-20 UT, which at 12-15 means the same programming variety as on 9955, but at 15-22 that`s back to BS (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9930, Jan 28 at 1859, WTWW-2 with Bob Heil already opening `Theater Organ of the Ozarx` early ``tonight``. Will play recordings from Columbus OH, admittedly with ``patrons in the background``. Cut off at 1929.5 for canned WTWW hype ID and into ``Amateur Radio Newsline #2048 recorded January 27``. Excellent signal, needing only PL-880 with whip, but tuning by at 1913 on the NRD-545, also the inevitable matching spurs on 9942.9 and 9917.1 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

 

** U S A. 12160, Sat Jan 28 at 1911, no signal from WWCR-2! (13845 and 15825 are VP to JBA; 12105 WTWW is S9+25). Sked for 19-21 Sat on 12160 is Brother Scare as of Jan 1. Maybe another curtailment, but you`d think they`d keep the transmitter on with something (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 660, Jan 28 at 1936 UT, my MW bandscan downward for skywave signals (after 1540 KXEL IA) finds something here on the E-W antenna, country music and talk seemingly in English at 1939 UT; ads in English at 1942 UT, and ending with something -online.com. The N/S antenna has KSKY The Answer talk from The Metroplex as usual dominant on groundwave, but E/W brings this, also making a 1.2 Hz SAH. 

I`m thinking it`s got to be KTNN Window Rock AZ, at midday! Not listening long enough to hear some clinching Navajo chanting, but their website is indeed: http://ktnnonline.com/ The only other 660 anywhere around here is 1 kW KCRO Omaha, opposite direxion from Dallas, and Christian in English. 

So I`m confident it is KTNN, which is 1008 km or 627 miles from here, 50 kW ND but I know groundwave doesn`t even reach into the OK Panhandle. 770 KKOB ought to make it too, but too much QRM (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1540, Sat Jan 28 at 1929 UT, SBG and I wonder if it`s KXEL Waterloo IA. Yes, mentions UNI, i.e. University of Northern Iowa, game involving fouls and free-throws, so evidently BKB. Come to think of it, free-throws in FB would make it marginally more interesting. How about melding all the SBGs into one? That would save a lot of trouble.

I have been remiss in pursuing daytime MW skywave this winter, and the season is winding up, but here`s one less than an hour after local mean noon (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 840, Jan 28 at 1406 UT wake-up and tune-in, WHAS ID still propagating a semihour after sunrise here and 1:15 after sunrise in Louisville. I null it and hear a snatch of Spanish, ``--- radio`` with SAHs, still suspecting KVJY Pharr TX in the RGV, but fades leaving a gospel huxter in English, presumably daytimer KWDF Ball LA. (The only other 840 around here, daytimer KTIC in West Point NE, I am ruling out as it`s C&W and ``Rural Radio``, barely audible in full daytime.) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1460, Jan 28 at 1931 UT, KZUE El Reno OK groundwave in Spanish is dominant on the N-S antenna, but mixed with something in English on E/W antenna. Most likely KHOJ, the RCC station in St Charles MO skywaving in (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Propagation News – 29 January 2017

Last week saw a flurry of sunspots appear that pushed the solar flux index to 87 on the 22nd. Geomagnetic conditions were unsettled last weekend, but this week has largely seen a respite, with the K-index often being one or even zero. This resulted in good conditions with the maximum useable frequency hitting at least 21MHz over 3,000km at times. There were reports of good openings on many bands, and a higher daytime critical frequency meant that 40 metres often opened up for contacts within the UK around the lunchtime period.

At the time of writing, sunspot group 2629 continues to develop, but according to NOAA the solar flux index will decline to the high 70s.

Unfortunately, next week will be largely unsettled with the K-index predicted to hit four or five from Tuesday, 31 January to Sunday, 5 February. Not surprisingly, this is due to another coronal hole on the sun’s surface.

On the bright side, 80 metres has been showing some good intra-UK openings outside of the mid-day absorption periods. It has also provided some good DX during the night and around the dawn greyline time, when it can open up to North America. These won’t last forever so make the most of them.

VHF and up:

The middle of last week saw the beginning of the end of the high, which gave some modest lift conditions for some. All is changing now that the Atlantic fronts are beginning to move in and it looks like there will be a sequence of fronts and low pressure systems throughout the coming week. This will put paid to any extension of the lift conditions and much of the new week will be uneventful from a tropo perspective.

Look out for rain scatter on the GHz bands though if the weather brings any heavy showers.

Don’t complain that you never get good VHF conditions on a Tuesday evening during the activity contests. You severely reduce your chances of DX if you limit yourself to the same day every week or month. Remember that there are six other days and nights and there are always aircraft scatter contacts to try on 432MHz and upwards to 10GHz.

The winter meteor activity minimum continues, but there are still opportunities for random meteor scatter contacts around dawn. Moon declination goes positive on Wednesday and it’s coming in towards perigee, so moon windows will get longer and losses will fall as the week progresses.

Glenn Hauser logs January 26-27-28, 2017

** ALBANIA. 7474.97, Jan 28 at 0247, R. Tirana reception is picking up, S6 of humbuzz and no program modulation audible. For some weeks it had not been detectable at all (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ALGERIA [non]. 7335, Jan 27 at 2229, Qur`an at S9+15 but fading. It`s the final frequency of the day until 2300 from RTA via FRANCE. Aoki shows middle of hour is Qur`an, start and finish in French/Arabic (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ANGUILLA. 11775, Jan 27 at 1527, PMS is finally back on day frequency, heard for first time in about 3 weeks, and still distorted (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CANADA. 6754-USB, Jan 27 at 0430, CHR successfully radiates aviation weather for Comox (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. 7435, Jan 27 at 1455, S9 signal with Firedragon music jamming (or is it just New Year celebrating?), one pip and off at 1500* uncovering a JBA carrier. In fact, Aoki does not show 7435 as a jammed frequency, just CRI Nepali via Kunming until 1457 and ALSO CRI Russian via Shijiazhuang until 1500; plus CRI Pashto via Kunming from 1500. And VOV-1 is also on 7435 until 1600 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 5025, Jan 27 at 0452, R. Rebelde is still AWOL, while 4765 Radio Progreso hits S9+40, and 5040 RHC is still vigent.

5025, Jan 28 at 0245, same situation. Is Rebelde ever on now? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** FRANCE. 5940-5980, Jan 27 at 0438, NHK Japanese relay on 5960 is again splattering out about plus/minus 20 kHz (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NORTH AMERICA. 5790.0-AM, Jan 28 at 0246, Station YHWH is on, averaging about S9 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6925-USB, Jan 27 at 2226, pirate music at S9+5, soon ``Radio Gaga, broadcasting from --??-- Lake``. 2232 another ID at S9+20; off at 2246 recheck. Several logs here

https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,32531.0.html

say that it`s Zipper Lake, and off at 2237 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6950-USB, Jan 28 at 0248, pirate music at S9; 0252 ID over music ``Accelerate`` (not X-L-R-8 this time). These days I am lucky to hear one pirate at a time on The band, rather than two or three (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TAIWAN [non]. 7570, Jan 27 at 0100 on WRMI, usual VG signal aimed right across us, with the PCJ Radio International Chinese New Year special, at the publicized time and frequency (unlike 24 hours earlier, no-show on 11580). Keith Perron leads up to a drawing for a Sangean SW radio, among those who send in for an e-QSL with answers to which animal matches their birth year. Also there are five varieties of roosters, so that distinguishes 12 x 5 different cycles.

7730 // 6855 // 5850, UT Fri Jan 27 at 0708, WRMI is again playing `Viva Miami` in Spanish about Chequia, rather than `Media Network Plus` as on the skedgrid which axually runs consistently 24 hours earlier on Thu. 0715 into `World Music` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1862 monitoring: confirmed Thursday January 26 at 2130 on WRMI 11580, good. Not completely confirmed, UT Fri Jan 27 at 0030 on WBCQ 9330v-CUSB; something is there, JBA, presumably me. Also confirmed, Fri Jan 27 at 2230 on new triple-frequency WRMI airing: 11580 at S9+10, 6855 at less than S9, 5950 at less than S8. Also confirmed UT Fri Jan 28 at 0030 on WBCQ 9330v-CUSB, JBA (at 0243 during BS, measured on 9329.79, constantly varying) Next:

Thu 0030   WBCQ 9330v-CUSB to WSW

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. (7490) webcast since I`m at the computer, UT Sat Jan 28 at 0120 from WBCQ, Allan Weiner is saying a number of projects are planned for this summer at Monticello, including something he can`t talk about that will change everything for shortwave radio, if it works (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7490, Jan 28 at 0227 as I tune past BS on WBCQ, he`s claiming to be on WRMI for 240 hours a day, and needs reception reports to evaluate what to do over the next year. Obvious very outdated playback, but who cares? At yearend he dropped from ten transmitters at a time (24 x 10 = 240) to approximately 4 (sometimes 5, sometimes 3 or 2). So must have concluded he was Overkilling on WRMI (tho some frequencies dropped in the daytime were the best ones). I`m not taking time to compute it, but would not be surprised if present usage via WRMI amounts to a lower multiple of 24, like 96 hpd (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5830, Jan 27 at 0435, WTWW-1 is distorted and splattering at least plus/minus 10 kHz, during PPP singing his adaptation into ``This land is His land ---``. Such a corruption and ``Rawhide`` [non] show up frequently (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 840, UT Jan 27 at 0420 UT, another try to ID the Spanish religious station here sometimes audible with WHAS nulled, having to put up with other CCI and IBOC noise from WCCO. It so happens that with LSB fine tuning in 40-Hz steps on the acceptably misaligned DX-398, these signals fall about halfway between, so I can`t get just-right demodulation. In a fade-up as I tune in during gospel huxter`s monolog about how he started an AM & FM station in Dec 2015. More than once he`s plugging for 33 (rich?) people to support his ministry (bet I know where he got that number), as it`s listener-supported and located in ``Mesa, Arizona`` --- so that fits for the 480-AC phone number previously copied, and which I hear again and again, so I am sure of it: (480) 467-4626, presumably belonging now to someone other than the Anglo woman one lookup led to. I still want to ID this by monitoring / research, but if all else fails, I`ll eventually phone him and ask which 840 station he`s on, KV

And he announces a second phone number, of which I am not so certain, (770) 989-4791. That AC is not Albuquerque, but suburban Atlanta GA, which makes no more sense on 840 kHz than (480) does. Into a fade at 0425 UT; back up somewhat at 0433 UT with a program ID ``--- radio`` and a website, neither of which I can copy, both given only once. No more fade-ups caught by 0500 UT Jan 27.

840, Jan 28 at 0240 UT another try. Worse reception tonight until 0300 UT; fade up a bit at 0253 UT can tell praise music is playing instead of verbal proselytizing (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Happy birthday KCR new trasmission

Cari Amici, come molti di voi sapranno, questo mese festeggiamo il primo anno di trasmissioni.

Per la verità, il nostro programma di gennaio 2016 è stato ascoltato da pochi agguerriti Dxer, il Massi, infatti, dopo un volo dal tetto, non è riuscito ad istallare l'antenna a dovere e noi ragazze abbiamo dovuto attaccarla alla grondaia con pessimi risultati. “Happy Birthday KCR” è il nome del programma che andrà in onda sabato 28 Gennaio 2017 con la collaborazione di Radio Dr. Tim dalla Germania. Radio Dr.Tim è un istituzione nel mondo delle Free e siamo davvero felici e onorati di questa bella novità. Nei prossimi mesi potrete ascoltarci anche dalla loro Stazione!!

Per il nostro compleanno abbiamo coniato una QSL Speciale che come sempre sarà inviata a tutti gli amici che ci scriveranno.

Vi aspettiamo numerosi !

Jasmine and “The KCR Team”

Dear Friends, how many of you know, this month we celebrate the first year of broadcasting.In truth, our January 2016 program was heard by few big DXers, the Massi, in fact, after a flight from the roof, failed to properly install the antenna and us girls we had to stick it to the gutter with bad results .

"Happy Birthday KCR" is the name of the program that will air Saturday, January 28, 2017 with the collaboration of Radio Dr. Tim from Germany. Radio Dr.Tim is an institution in the world of Free and we are very happy and honored to be this good news. In the coming months you can also listen to their station !!

For our birthday we have coined a special QSL which as always will be sent to all the

friends who will write. We hope many of you will come ! Jasmine and "The Team KCR"

KXO-AM/1230, California (1927)
R. Popular Indipendiente, Ecuador 4800 Khz (1956)

Glenn Hauser logs January 25-26, 2017

** ANGUILLA. 11775, Jan 25 at 2135 check, Caribbean Beacon is still off day frequency. Could be that they are running night frequency 6090 in daytime too? No, not audible there and it should be by now if on. At 2200 neither is on (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** AUSTRALIA. 4835, Jan 26 at 1251, VL8A detectable in slop from 4840 WWCR, but fair in the clear after 1300. Also the other VL8s with JBA carriers on 2325, 2485. 

Radio Australia had been missing from its day frequencies earlier UT Jan 26, says Ron Howard, and Brian Powell, Sydney, replied, ``Nothing heard here in Australia, on Australia Day (January 26) 0549 UT. Staff at Shepp must be taking a day off like the majority of us!`` Or some irregular maintenance outages. 

9580, Jan 26 at 1254, 9580 is back on strong as usual, JBA carrier on 12065, and can`t be sure 12085 is on, but there is an off-frequency carrier nearby. At 1356, `Conversation` is concluding, with Fidler promoting podcasting of his program, but not shortwave! Plus music fill, 1400 ABC News (not Radio Australia news) starting with a private plane crash off Perth during the celebrations, fireworx canceled. 

[and non] Now I`m getting some splatter from CRI via CUBA 9570, which doesn`t cut off until 1402*, while another transmitter has already been on 15700 with dead air. 1405, `All in the Mind` about how the mind can help heal the body. Countdown to oblivion continues (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** AUSTRIA. 6155, Jan 26 at 0718, Ö1 is still on in Austro-German, S8-S9 but tough copy. I thought it ended at 0715, but I see in HFCC it`s 0600-0720, the only ORF/ORS legacy SW broadcast from Moosbrunn (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CANADA. 6754-USB, Jan 26 at 0720, CHR Trenton Military with ``no report received`` from Toronto, Bagotville, Trenton(!), Ottawa. 0721 UT time as ``0-6-2-0 zulu``, and NRRs for Calgary, Cold Lake, Winnipeg, Edmonton. Hey, someone, kick the computer controller.

15034, Jan 26 at 1439, CHR is finally funxional again, after at least 5 straight days of ``no report received`` whenever checked: recent conditions at Prestwick, altimeter always in hektopascals (which we would call barometric pressure in millibars). 

BUT, on to Terminal Forecasts for Shannon, Prestwick, Keflavik, Lajes, all ``no report received``. So CHR is managing to broadcast Aviation Weather reports but not Terminal Forecasts. 

At 1441, still wrong current timecheck as ``1-3-4-0 zulu``, and weather for Shearwater, Greenwood, Gander, Halifax from 1400z or ``special`` later readings like 1438, 1427. Repeated. 1445, again NRRs for terminals from Halifax to Shearwater. 1446 ID, mis-time as 1345z, and Aviation Weather for the first quartet mentioned above. 

So where is Bagotville (the T is pronounced)? Near Saguenay, Québec, which is at the northern edge of developed QC, a 100K+ city west of Rimouski and north of Quebec City. At 1502 recheck, no signal. So apparently the transmissions are not meant to be continuous, unless this is another foulup. Unlike NY Radio & Gander, the Trenton frequencies are not time-shared with another station. As for the ``no report received`` defaults, it`s not unusual for them to appear here and there, rather than everywhere (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. 6105, Jan 26 at 1337, Firedragon music atop algo during a slow passage; 1353 back to heavy percussion. Aoki shows RTI at 10-14 in Chinese languages is *jammed except for Hakka at 1230-1300, an oversight or a political statement?

6045, Jan 26 at 1338 Chinese mix of CNR1 jamming and VOA via Thailand at 12-14 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 5025, Jan 26 at 0553, R. Rebelde is still/again off (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KOREA NORTH [non]. 6145, Thu Jan 26 at 1341, Sea Breeze in weekly English, usual urgent YL, sounders. At 1354 mentions Radio Free Asia, 1355 Sea Breeze ID; from JSR Yamata, JAPAN (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 580, Jan 26 at 1302 UT, Spanish vs WIBW in English, temps in F and C; discussing exchange rates differing little between bancos and casas de cambio, and the puente; this-day-in-history; 7:05 TC at 1305; 878- phone number, US toll-free apparently. So it`s obviously XEMU Piedras Negras, Coahuila on the border. Fortunately, no wasteful wall will prevent signals penetrating from our good neighbor to the south. Also hearing many of the other usual pre-sunrise N/W Mexicans up to 870 XETAR (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TAIWAN [non]. 11580, Jan 26 at 0100, WRMI is JBA carrier, so can`t tell whether the PCJ Radio International special for Chinese New Year is airing as publicized. Normally 6855 would be // during this hour, and it has a gospel huxter, presumably `Sounding the Alarm` as scheduled.

Walt Salmaniw in BC replied about 11580, ``Just barely audible here, Glenn, so I checked the half dozen or so remote Perseus receivers in North America and found one in Rochester, NY. Fair signal, and clearly a huxter . . . at 0124 UT 26 Jan 2017``

Then Gilles Letourneau in Québec replied, ``Hello Glenn, I did receive today the Near Years Special from PCJ around 2200 UT [Wed] on 11580 and I did receive it last night [UT Wed] around 0100 UT 11580. Was pretty good up here in Montreal``

The WRMI schedule just shows `Media Network Plus` but we know these hours can also be occupied by other PCJRI produxions. Wed 2200, MN+ is scheduled on 5950, but UT Wed at 0100 on 11580 is a scheduled MN+ time anyway. So Gilles heard it 24 hours earlier than publicized for the special.

WRMI`s own schedules show all these regular times for MN+:

Wed 0100 11580

Wed 2200  5950

Thu 0700  5850 7730 [as heard but shows as `Fri 0700``], also 6855

Thu 2000 11580

Fri 2300  9955 [NOT at 2200! in winter]

Some of these may also be on unpublicized // 6855.

The PCJ website does not show all these times:

``PCJ Radio International twice weekly North American broadcasts

Catch PCJ Radio International twice weekly to North America.

Wednesday - 0100UTC on 11580khz

Friday - 2200UTC on 9955khz

PCJ Radio International will present a special program for Chinese New Years Eve for the Year of the Rooster. Extra MV/FM and shortwave frequencies have been added

North America

0100 - 0200 UTC

Frequency: 11580 kHz

Date: January 26, 2017

0100 - 0200 UTC

Frequency 7570 kHz

Date: January 27, 2017``

So was it already on 7570 at 0100 UT Thu Jan 26? Did not check. Or does the date for that really mean UT Fri Jan 27? Maybe the dates on the website are NAm time, despite the times being UT. That could mean the 0100 airing on 11580 is still coming UT Jan 27, and the 7570 at 0100 will be UT Jan 28. UT dates/days/times MUST always match lest there be confusion like this. And is the CNY special supposed to occupy all the ``non-special`` MN+ times as well?

5850 // 6855 // 7730, UT Thu Jan 26 at 0700, there it is! The Chinese NY special, with Keith Perron about the traits of rooster-people, and explaining the dozen animals correlating with humans in a 12-year cycle; along with SFX and light-hearted music. Do Chinese really believe this nonsense, or just consider it a fun tradition? 6855 as always much weaker than the others (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) 

** TURKEY. 12035.028, Thu Jan 26 at 1343, VOT ending news in English, on to `The Middle East through Turkey`s Window`, commentary about Syria and PKK, always denounced as Terrorists. 1350 on to next segment `Turkey and Eurasia`, analyzing public diplomacy activities of TRT and other agencies in Kazakhstan. Both these attributed to someone in a department of international relations, at a university? Fair signal with some hum. Does anyone have a current schedule of VOT programs in English, in any form?

** U S A. 1680, Jan 26 at 1317 UT, W&M in chat show, ``The Morning Scramble at 99.7 My-FM``, i.e. via its AM appendage, KRJO Monroe LA, so format is not just AC music (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 2520, Jan 26 at 1252 UT, S7 open carrier, presumably the WOCO Oconto WI second harmonic from 1260 which others continue to report, so I wonder if they are just warming up for a sign-on? 1259-1301+ UT maybe a trace of modulation, much less than the carrier level ought to provide, so I`ve yet to get a definite ID on it. Much stronger than a JBA carrier from the other active US harmonic on 2960. 2520 carrier still audible at 1325 UT, S7 = the noise level. I never hear 2520 in the evening, so maybe they really cut from 1000 to 29 watts (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1160, Jan 26 at 1314 UT open carrier almost zero-beat over KSL, but hard to DF, apparently a daytimer about to start: 1315 UT no sign-on, no ID, just bringing up a gospel huxter in progress in English. So is it KVCE Highland Park (The Metroplex) TX, which is 35/1 kW U4, not a daytimer? FCC AM Query shows its day and night sites are quite far apart, so one could be interfering with the other during overlap, but the correct LSR time for KVCE in Jan is 1330 UT, not 1315 UT until Feb. 

Other possibility is WYLL Chicago IL (né WJJD), 50/50 kW U2, where the Jan LSR is indeed 1315 UT. Despite the power, day pattern is tight to the north and night pattern is circular to the SE. It too has separate day and night sites. We should not be getting so much from it; nor from KVCE, with day pattern to the ESE, and night pattern to the SE (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
