** ANTARCTICA. 15476, LRA36, May 18: 1230 tune-in, already on with vocal music, S9+15. After a quick Firedrake scan [see CHINA], I return at 1235 as ``Soy Feliz`` themesong is running along with XYL sign-on of `Amanecer Austral`, mentions ``hoy, buena música y algo más``, credits. 1239 contact info, 1240 another song. 1250 is weaker, S9+12; 1256 chatting and laughter, ``en esta mañana gris``, mentions a ganador so are they giving something away? By 1311 has become JBA, but resurges a bit at 1342, back up to S9+12; however the S/N is worse (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. Firedrake May 18:
16980, poor at 1237, none higher; but good at 1259-1300*
16100, very good at 1237
15550, fair at 1313, het on the lo side = V. of Tibet; also 1326, but at that time no others found 12-17 MHz
15540, JBA at 1340 vs het on 15542 or 15543, presumably FD as usual
14700, very good at 1233; none in the 15s at this time
13920, VG at 1235
13850, VG at 1235
13130, VG at 1233
13540, VG at 1234, unusual frequency
12600, fair at 1235 and obviously not // the others
12240, good at 1235
 7970, very poor at 1247; none 8-12 MHz
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. 15600, fair May 18 at 1314, CRI with website info pronounced in English, then a bit of Chinese, then to real scheduled language, Malay. HFCC and Aoki show it 1230-1327, 100 kW, 175 degrees via Kunming (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 17865, May 17 at 2122, lite pulse and noise jamming against nothing, i.e. the third harmonic of 5955 vs R. República 5954.3v which presumably started at 2100. Nothing audible yet on 18090, the third harmonic of jammer against R. Martí, which does not start until 2200 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA [non]. 7210-LSB, as I tune across at 1229 May 18, the unmistakable anti-Castro ranting tones of N1NR, Nelson Roig, in Pennsylvania, somewhat demodulated by a weak broadcast carrier without employing BFO --- the latter being, in decreasing order of probability: PBS Yunnan, or the 20 kW Vietnamese, or R. Fana longpath (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CYPRUS [non]. 15727-15752 approx., May 18 at 1327, OTH radar pulses presumed from here, and no broadcasters affected, as far as I could hear, so are they picking times and frequencies carefully? Not per HFCC which shows VOA Somali via Madagascar on 15730, NHK English via Uzbekistan on 15735, and SLBC Sri Lanka English on 15745 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** JAPAN [non]. 15335, NHKWNRJ in second of two-day test via ``Santiago``, CHILE, May 18 at 1401, but in Japanese! Yesterday it was in English during the first half hour, but we can`t have that in a broadcast for South America! HFCC shows the 14-20 span may also include some Portuguese. This was running about 2 sex behind // Sackville 11655 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KOREA SOUTH [non]. 9650, KBSWR via CANADA, May 18 at 1248 talking about a musical instrument with a bamboo soundbox, two silk strings, the hegum(?), but didn`t axually hear it, just some other music from P`yongyang underneath, as KBS foolishly uses the same frequency. This is the new `Sounds of Korea` show Vincent Kusek in Chicago told us about, Wednesdays at 1240 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KUWAIT [and non]. 15540, May 17 at 2050, R. Kuwait with English news headlines by a more comprehensible, less accented and rushed announcer than yesterday, 2052 back to western pop music, and this time no legal notice for illegal immigrants before 2059 sign-off, but cut off the air at 2059:30* before that announcement was completed. Arabic service on 17550 remains well audible thenceforth.

Conditions are shifting; 13m showing some signs of life again, but unlike a few weeks ago, 21540 dominated by Spain // 21610 May 18 at 1321, Kuwait nothing but a SAH on 21540 making REE appear to wobble with BFO on. Nearby BSKSA 21505 was also JBA, while the SSOBs were 21780 DW RWANDA in Hausa, and 21655 PORTUGAL stronger than Spain. The lower-latitude the path, the better (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MOROCCO. 15345, R. Marocaine, May 17 at 2103 is still on the air in Arabic, news? 2104 IDs by YL matching WRTH info: ``Idha`atu-l-Mamlaka al Maghribiyya`` and also ``Idha`at al-Wataniya``, mixed with bits of classical music; still on air at 2107 after nominal 2100*. Since there are no(?) SW broadcasts in French, we should call this by its true Arabic names, IMM or IW for short? Wataniya refers to Nation, and Mamlaka to Kingdom, or should I say Royaume? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 12100, WTWW, Lebanon TN testing new transmitter and rhombic antenna again May 18 at 1336, S9+22 open carrier with some hum, off at 1341:50*. Back on at 1351 check. If there was a sign-on or ID at hourtop, I missed it, but at 1402 modulating music in program with announcements, ``Beethoven`s `Joyful2, We Adore Thee```, really a knockoff of `Ode to Joy`. What would Schiller say about his pagan poem being converted to Christianity? OK, he does mention a `spark of God` in praising Joy. Then more hymns on piano et al., next `Gott sei die Ehre`, but no doomed WYFR, this, R minus 3 and counting. Some brief dropoffs the air such as at 1419. 1430 program outro as `Afterglow`, with Don Johnson from Germantown TN, then another episode including 1452 ``Lord`s Prayer`` in conventional musical setting, 1459 another `Afterglow` outro, 1500 open carrier to 1505* (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1565 monitoring: first airing confirmed on WRMI webcast after 1530 Wed May 18, but on 9955 nothing audible except a SAH, presumably WRMI vs WYFR Taiwan. Next chances on WRMI: Thu 0330, 1500, 2100, Fri 1430, Sat 0800, 1730, Sun 0800, 1530, 1730.

On WBCQ 7415: Wed 2100 or 2115 or 2130. On WWRB 5050: UT Fri 0330. On WWCR: Fri 2030 15825, Sat 1600 12160, Sun 0630 3215. On WRN via SiriusXM 120: Sat & Sun 1730, Sun 0830. On IPAR: Sat 1800 7290. Full schedule including more webcasters at http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 18960, nothing audible at several chex May 18 before 1300, at 1319 and at 1410. Sheryl Paszkiewicz, Wisconsin, NASWA had heard something in Arabic May 15 at 1320-1850* with a ``continuous live concert``, maybe R. Sawa? Only WYFR is known to be active on this band, 18930 and 18980. Several stations on 9480 could harmonicize, but unlikely over 5.5 hours and in her always brief notes, she gave no details of strength. Also watch out for 2 x WTWW on 18958 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

Glenn Hauser logs May 16-17, 2011

** ANTARCTICA. 15476, standing by for LRA36 from 1230 May 17, but nothing until carrier cut-on at *1242:37 and immediately musically modulated with a beat --- no warm-up needed, ranging S9 to S9+10 peaks. 1245 switch to another music, romantic vocal, unseems national anthem.

If you search on Argentina national anthem you get lots of `free mp3 downloads` with a catch. Let`s go with Wikipedia`s instrumental band music for future reference and comparisons:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argentine_National_Anthem

1249 sign-on by XYL with usual frequencies, G.C.; 1250 starts `Soy Feliz` theme mixed with further announcements; 1251 ``Buen día … Esperanza … Amanecer Austral``, other XYLs join in, staff credits including the Lt. Cols. 1253 tells us what May 17 is the day of, including telecomunicaciones; phone numbers. Then signal begins slow decline of audibility, the typical pattern here and now. I suspect it peaks a bit later further west in NAm, and earlier further east (except it is not on the air then).

One reason for getting it so reliably here may be that the direct great-circle path from Esperanza to Enid is mostly over-water: it barely grazes the SW tip of Chile, and no land until across the Tehuantepec Isthmus, Houston and onward. Further west it has to cross all of Mexico, altho by San Francisco most of Mexico is missed. To New York, the signal has to traverse all of South America up the Andes. And may we assume it is somewhat direxional toward Argentina and consequently USward? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CANADA. 6070, May 17 at 1136, CFRX loud and clear, no sign of CCI from North Korea in Japanese for a change; off? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. Firedrake May 17:
16100, fair at 1338
15970, fair at 1255, fair at 1338
15550, very poor at 1309
15430, poor at 1337. A few days ago, Wolfgang Büschel observed that the target VOT via Tajikistan had escaped to 15279, but unheard there
14700, good at 1255
13920, poor at 1255
13130, fair-good at 1256; very poor at 1340
12240, good at 1256
11500, fair with het, CCI at 1257; good and alone at 1355-1400*
10300, fair at 1257
 7970, poor at 1140; poor at 1258
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** COSTA RICA [and non]. 5954.2v, May 17 at 0530, heavy jamming and het with 5955 (presumed RNW via PORTUGAL), so R. República appears to be still on the air now, altho Mark Taylor, WI, reported that on May 14, it went off 5954.3 at 0159 with no jamming. Had been all-night, before switching to day frequency 9965.1. Maybe closes earlier on weekends? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 5040, RHC still on at 0527 May 17 with open carrier.

9570, May 17 at 1157 the ChiCom are not getting their due as the Cuban relay is carrying an undermodulated, humming RHC Spanish instead of CRI, not just as a prélude, but at further chex 1200, 1314 still RHC. Before 1300 it was // synchronized 9550 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** INDONESIA. 9526-, VOI, May 17 at 1200 with Japanese ID from Jakarta, so back to normal language schedule.

After LRA36 fades, I return to 9526- at 1315 May 17 for VOI in English: despite being Tuesday, no sign of anything from Bali or Banjarmasin, just normal program segments from Jak with ``Voice of Indonesia, the Sound of Dignity`` IDs between them: `Commentary` about book produxion, low interest in reading, as May 17 is National Literacy Day. Then `Today in History` but tougher copy with different announcer, YL with accent. 1321 `Focus`, about ASEAN. 1323 `News in Brief`. 1326 `Indonesian Wonder`. 1330 `Let`s Learn Bahasa Indonesia`. 1335 `Music Corner`. So skipped `Miscellany` today. Reception went from poor to worse (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** JAPAN [non]. 15335, surprised to hear news in English with giveaway NHK jingle between items, May 17 at 1410, fair signal. HFCC shows this is the first of a two-day test via CHILE, 100 kW, 60 degrees to CIRAF 14, 15, 16, i.e. the southern half of South America, but a viable alternative for us, deprived of any intentional NAm broadcast at this hour any more.

And the test is registered all the way from 14 to 20 UT, the remainder presumably in Japanese only. So I recheck at 1712: yes, still there with a fair signal in Japanese (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KUWAIT. 15540, R. Kuwait, 2050 May 16, two minutes of news headlines by YL speaking English so fast with accent that I could hardly understand anything. 2052, much more clearly spoken official announcement about amnesty period for illegals: get out by June 30 or be deported. 2054 pop music. 2059 sign-off still with imaginary sked of English at 05 on 15110, 18 on 11990. VG signal. Continued listening on 17550 to Arabic talk, music, also VG but with more flutter (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MALAYSIA. 9835, May 17 at 1143, fair signal with Qur`an style singing, but not really, repeating same words over and over with variations in the tune. 1144 segué to YL song with instrumental accompaniment. Need to avoid strong RTTY 9830 ACI. 1159 recheck, now it really is Qur`an with necessary pauses. Judging from previous reports, this is the newish peninsular relay of Sarawak FM which is Qur`anic, altho at times 9835 also relays Wai FM from Sarawak and back to there filling in local coverage gaps in competition with Radio Free Sarawak (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 6010, had not been hearing R. Mil lately when I start monitoring around 1230, so wondered if off. But May 17 at 1130 it`s audible with news of Mexico, fair peaks, het on hi side. Earlier sunrises require earlier monitoring (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MOROCCO. 15345, RTM, stayed on in Arabic until abrupt 2104:42* May 17, unlike yesterday to 2100:00*. May 18 at 1411, it`s made the switch from 15341 to 15345 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SPAIN. 17595, REE, VG May 17 at 1347, the `Españoles en la Mar` hour is in mailbag segment, mainly SWLs from Cuba, as replugs the survey for listeners to declare whether they listen on SW or something else, deadline June 30 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [non]. 5995, May 17 at 0529 surprised to hear VOA, ``signing-off``; long pause and then Yankee Doodle Dandy routine. Had not been hearing any VOA here, and no wonder, since per HFCC this just started 6 May, only for Hausa at 0500-0530 daily, 100 kW, 335 degrees from SÃO TOMÉ. Guess Mali won`t need 5995 until a bit later; at least we used to hear it around 0600, tho WRTH 2011 said 1800-2400, with 9635 instead at 0555-1800 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9400, nasty warbling spur vs FEBC Chinese, May 17 at 1155. I was about to blame WTJC 9370, till I checked 9380 with BFO and found the same, ergo emanating from WEWN 9390, as one of their transmitters defectively does for years from whatever fundamental of the moment. I expect that Mo. Angelica will Eternally QRM her neighbors with mushy, distorted Words.

Unless transmitters are swapped around, I doubt it, this affects the English frequencies, currently: 10-12 9390, 12-14 13580, 14-24 15610, 00-10 11520.

Thus the victim frequencies and any stations foolish enough to use them are respectively: 10-12 9380 9400; 12-14 13570 13590; 14-24 15600 15620; 00-10 11510 11530.

13570 and 13590 indeed have this crap, at 1341 check May 17 with BFO, lacking significant signals to beat against at the moment; WINB in its weekdaily break from 13570 after 1315. This problem is distinct from one of the two Spanish transmitters with a self-flagellating squeal not bothering 10 kHz away (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 15795, WWRB test on new frequency as of 1715 UT May 17 has not been heard since 48 hours earlier, altho we haven`t tried for it constantly. Here`s why, from Capt. Frantz as of 2334 UT May 16:

`` Our testing of 15795 kHz went very Well: The staff at WWRB shortwave is pleased! Plenty of very positive reception reports from: U.S., Canada, the U.K, Europe, Middle East & South Africa (10 from Israel; 4 from South Africa). It's worth noting most of the observers of our test were using portable 'run of the mill' shortwave radios. 

The testing at 145 kW did indicate excessive RF heating (skin effect) at the antenna matching network. The antenna matching network 300 ohm to 600 ohm feed line transformer is being upgraded to handle the RF current. Soon as that 'upgrade' is finished, more extensive testing`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** VATICAN [non]. 9830, at 1130 May 17 trying to confirm whether VR via Sackville is here in Spanish, plus 13730, as in the WRTH May update --- very heavy RTTY with something JBA under it, but if Canada, would expect more from it. Aoki lists CNR1 from Beijing 572 site. Presumably the VR entry is another undeleted line left over from a previous season.

13730 does bear RV via Canada, May 17 at 1146 ending Spanish news about Latin America, saying there would be ``más información dentro de 6 horas, a las 11:30 de la mañana, y 5:30 de la tarde, TUC en el programa hispanoamericano``, 1147 on to devotional, ``la buena noticia de cada día`.

Note: they ID in Spanish as R. Vaticana, not Vaticano, as the SS like to mispronounce it. WRTH Update does not show any Spanish anywhere near 1730 UT! EiBi by time shows they do start Czech, English and Italian at that hour (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** VENEZUELA [non]. 6060, May 17 at 1135 looking for RNV relay via CUBA, which was not heard a few days ago: heavy CCI in Indo-Malay? But then I hear Apartado 3979 mentioned in undermodulated Spanish, so there it is, but quite poor signal, maybe way off-beam from it. 6000 RHC was much stronger, as was 6070 CFRX, q.v.

As for the other 6060 station, HFCC shows Miri, Malaysia, and CRI Beijing, but the Malaysian is long inactive, and not listed in Aoki, just CRI in `Filipino` plus PBS Sichuan in Tibetan (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

Per Leonardo Bolli: secondo me hai acchiappato una bella riattivazione quella della RASD su 6297v kHz, non si sentiva da un po' di tempo. Inoltre, anch'io tra le 5 e le 6 ho provato il Brasile sui 31 metri e non si sentiva bene come da te e ciò è la dimostrazione che magari dipende dalla DE31MS che è una loop rispetto al mio dipolo aperto, ma anche e *soprattutto* *dove va a finire il fascio di onde riflesse*. Tutto è sempre in movimento, altrimenti non ci sarebbero le evanescenze, il fading.

La G3 Etón, probabilmente anche dopo la correzione di SYNC ed SSB, in LSB riusciva a riprodurre molto bene l'audio di questo segnale su 6070, diversamente da quanto provato con gli altri ricevitori e nonostante la presenza molto ingombrante della DW da Sines-POR su 6075. Dalle 05.00, poi, sempre su 6070 si è sovrapposta la Bielorussia da Brest, che a mio avviso prima di tale orario era spenta. Alcuni database la fanno iniziare alle 02.00, altri alle 04.00, probabilmente essendo un impianto locale la precisione non deve essere così tassativa.

Tornando sulla stabilità in SSB, Satellit 500 e G3/E5 mi pare che non si spostino per niente, anche se sono rimasti spenti e quindi non caldi.
Insomma, gli unici a slittare per il riscaldamento sembrano essere gli apparati da base R7 e VR5000, ma d'altronde anche quando ho tentato di riallineare il TS430 Kenwood di un mio amico lo scorso anno - con la risoluzione minima a 10 Hz!!! - dopo un po' di tempo era di nuovo spostato. Non esiste l'apparato ideale, per questo se si può è meglio possederne più di uno, al fine di usare quello che per una certa banda o segnale dà la resa AF-RF migliore. Certo che è incredibile come un piccolo G3 *in alcuni casi* riesca a superare ricevitori di livello superiore. Ed il costo è davvero competitivo, se si pensa che vent'anni fa un RFB65 Panasonic - portatile piuttosto simile a G3 ed E5 - a Rapallo lo vendevano a quasi mezzo milione di lire: praticamente circa il doppio!!!

Papua New Guinea
Broadcasting Review
_______________________


We're currently reviewing the status of broadcasting in PNG as part of our ongoing updates for the World Radio TV Handbook [WRTH] and our PAL Radio Guides at www.radioheritage.com.

Radio Eastern Highlands 3395kHz at Goroka has been reported inactive on SW for some time. In fact, we had even removed it from the WRTH listing.

However, we understand it was most recently off SW for 9 months, returning briefly in January 2011 before another technical problem has taken it off air yet again.

An NBC engineer says 'Radio Eastern Highlands faced a lot of 'off-air' time a few years back because the IC kept getting cooked, and recently [January 2011] the entire mini-transformer box at the transmitter was blown to bits."

"Other TV and 3 radio stations piggyback on our tower and went off air for a whole month. We were lucky we have a standby generator for a bypass power supply."

"The SW transmitter magnetic contactor blew out, so no SW service, using only FM. We've also reduced transmission hours by one, terminating at 2100 hours [local] and this will remain so until the SW transmitter fault is rectified." 

The problems are linked to the power authority upgrading national power supplies, and huge voltage surges [up to 400v] are blowing out integrated circuits.

An engineer comments 'NBC engineers have to be very current with PPL's [power company] upgrade and automation so that our delicate digital equipment is not cooked up in their upgrade process."

As a general observation, MW/SW radio services of NBC may often operate irregularly outside Port Moresby because of technical and funding issues.

Simply put,they can come and go from the air as they break down, get fixed, then break down again and listeners need to constantly monitor all PNG shortwave outlets to have a current overview of their status.

NBC plans to replace MW/SW stations with FM only by 2015 but funding issues are now reported to be delaying implementation.

Commercial network FM100 by comparison, has a rapidly growing and technically secure FM network because it is owned by Telikom, the main infrastructure operator.

Its FM frequencies are generally claimed to have 200km coverage which indicates relatively high powered and well located [often on mountains] transmitter sites.

Mobile phone use is growing rapidly in PNG with operators Telikom and Digicel expanding nationwide coverage across the archipelago. Most radio listeners prefer the commercial FM services such as FM100, Nau and Yumi FM

The predominately young population prefers inbuilt FM receivers in mobile phones for listening so the demand for MW and SW services falls faster every year.

Religious broadcaster Wantok Radio Light have recently upgraded their satellite systems at each FM relay station, opened two new FM stations and are planning on some 10 more in 2011 alone to maintain contact with the rapidly growing FM radio audiences.

Blessed Peter ToRot Radio, a network of Catholic community radio stations has also reactivated Radio St.Gabriel on shortwave at Vanimo in recent weeks.

Vanimo is some 20km from the border with Indonesia and there is high tension in the area because of the Free West Papua movement, reports of police and military brutality, and a local economy still suffering from the effects of a devastating tsunami in the area in the recent past.

We are continuing to monitor broadcasting in PNG with the help of several sources within the country in an effort to improve the quality of information available for listeners, travellers and others using the WRTH listings and those of the PAL Radio Guides at www.radioheritage.com.

Observations, comments and news about PNG broadcasting issues are very welcome to info@radioheritage.net.

Glenn Hauser logs May 15-16, 2011

** ANTARCTICA. 15476, May 16 tune-in at 1230 and LRA36 is already on with prélude, S7 to S9+10 peaks. I figured I had time for a quick Firedrake scan, see CHINA. Retune at 1238 just in time for ``Soy Feliz`` theme and XYL bidding us buenos días, mentioning bicentenario of something, phone numbers, one ending in 0054. By 1250 with music has built to S9+18, so not too distracting from the Endeavour launch at 1255. Still music only past 1300, 1314. By 1415 music has declined to only S8-S9+8, somewhat weaker than the Slavic on 15480 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. Firedrake May 16:
16100, JBA at 1234
14700, very poor at 1235
13920, fair at 1235 with heavy ute QRM
13850, poor at 1235
12980, fair at 1235
12240, fair with flutter at 1235, only open carrier
11500, fair with het, CCI

Next group post 1300:
16100, poor at 1344
15970, fair at 1344
15430, fair at 1345
14900, good at 1345
13920, good at 1346 now over the ute
11500, fair at 1422 now atop the QRM
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 11760, I meant to check earlier for RHC as listed by WRTH Update for Sundays only after 1530, but nothing there at 1720 May 15. Probably was a stray line from a previous schedule that did not get deleted.

13880 had been on a few minutes before, produced by 13680 leaping over 13780, but May 16 at 1347, RHC is absent from 13680, breakdown? Next check at 1420, it`s back (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** IRAN. 15530, May 16 at 0527 nice ME music, prélude if not IS, 0530 three notes, Spanish ID as Voz de la República Islámica de Irán, choral anthem, 0531+ into Qur`an, the qantor introduced by name. Fair signal with heavy flutter (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** JAPAN. 9595, surprised to hear Japanese pop music Monday May 16 at 1410, as R. Nikkei used to sign off earlier, but Aoki now shows it until 1500 M-F, -1130 Sat, -1230 Sun (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MOROCCO. 15345+, RTM, May 15 at 2059 Arabic music and talk at S9+20, but modulation not up to par; 2059.5 to open carrier, and off at 2100.0* precisely, so certainly no doubt about sign-off time now, and hour earlier due to DST. May have uncovered an extremely weak signal on 15345-, which would be Argentina.

However, May 16 at 1416 it`s still on 15341, so did not switch to 15345 at nominal 1400 during DST; hardly any het from HCJB audible today (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 1430, on a Sunday drive slightly NW of Enid, had sufficient reception of KALV Alva, despite its near-null, to tell at 2130 UT May 15 that they are still IDing as ``AM Stereo 14-30, KALV, Alva``.

As in DXLD 11-19, ``F.C.C. FINES: MM&K of Alva, Inc. Licensee of KALV(AM) Alva, Oklahoma Fined $7,000, for failing to timely file a license renewal application for the Station, and for continuing to operate the Station after its license expired (IRCA DX Monitor April 22 via DXLD)``. There was also something fishy about their FM (Glenn Hauser, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SPAIN [and non]. 15385, Monday May 16 at 1424 open carrier, 1424:46, only one iteration of IS before 1425 beginning weekly Emisión Sefarad, fair signal, no frequency schedule given at outset. Later on it sounded like plain old Castilian to me.

But more interesting was 11880 via Costa Rica // 15595 direct, `África Hoy`, playing HOA music from Eritrea, concluding at 1428 by asking listeners to tell them by what platform they listen, to africahoy @ rtve.es. I vote for onda corta! Also gave lengthy physical postal address once which I could not copy completely, not that I am ever going to use it. Anyway, it`s on page 474 of WRTH 2011; evidently they have abandoned the 6-digit apartado; box rent too expensive? These two followed with the weekday quadrilingual news headlines, Portuguese first, Justin Coe in English at 1435-1437.5 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 15795, at 1720 May 15, has a hymn playing, OM soloist with piano, so now WWRB test on new frequency is underway. Only fair signal, but better than very poor one from 15825 WWCR. Helps to be a bit further away and/or the rhombic antenna lobe is more favorable. In the next 3 hours some others reported it (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 15825, May 16 at 1316, WWCR is inbooming at S9+25 such that the squeal accompanying #1 is audible along with `Inspirations Across America` with commercials, tnx to sporadic-E boost, but by 1345 it`s sunk back to very poor level, while 15610 WEWN with Mo. Angelica is now getting a boost to S9+25, another 1-megameter signal from a different direxion. But no Es on VHF yet by 1620 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 860, MW bandscan on Sunday May 15 at 2148 found dead air on this frequency, normally KKOW Pittsburg KS. On caradio it was hard to tell whether carrier was also off, but I think it was on. By 2202 recheck they were making up for the silence by running double audio! Local commercials, plus CBS News and its commercials, ``20/20 Weather on KKOW . . . Classic Country, 860 AM``. Geez, doesn`t anyone monitor their own station? Even worse foulups have previously been caught more than once from the other big 10 kW signal in the area, KGGF 690 Coffeyville (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** VENEZUELA [non]. Yet another Sunday without El Hugazo, May 15. I did not even check the SW frequencies via CUBA before consulting the website which made another excuse due to some other preëmptive event. If and when he ever come back, `Aló, Presidente` never starts at 1400, as still claimed on the RHC schedule, and consequently in the WRTH Update, but always after 1530, and then may run well past 1800 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 55.25 MHz, after some Mexican Es TV DX earlier May 15 at 1438-1452+, the MUF poked hi enough again to channel 2 video, briefly around 1726 UT for a silly ballgame; at first I thought it might be béisbol, but a brief clearer look showed it to be fútbol; with CCI.

Chances are 99% it was from México, antenna SSE, but to maintain my interest I will hope it was from further afield. The past two summers without US analog blockage, I have never managed to ID any TVDX beyond Mexico or possibly Cuba. Meanwhile the TV stays parked on snowy channel 2 much of the time (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

** CHINA. Firedrake May 15: hi-latitude propagation was very suppressed above 12 MHz, the only big signals coming from southerly Chile, Cuba, WYFR. But CNR1 echo jamming was VG around 1300 on 11990, 12040
14700, Firedrake poor at 1231, none audible higher
13920, fair at 1235
12240, very good at 1236
11500, no Firedrake but some JBA talk
10300, not at 1241
 7970, fair at 1249

Next Firedrake group from the next hour:
15970, poor with heavy flutter at 1354
15670, fair at 1355, mixing with talk, CNR1 or victim
15430, fair at 1355
14700, good at 1358

** FRANCE. 11995, RFI in English, UT Sunday May 15 at 0449 with news about the E-U, good signal; already off at next check 0457. Didn`t have the full sked at hand, but WRTH Update shows // 9805 from 0400, and then from 0500 only on 15160 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GREECE. 15630, May 15 at 2211, VOG is unusually broadcasting a seemingly live event, lots of applause and crowd noise, PA reverb, mostly in English, with Greek voice-overs. Various countries, such as Ireland and later Latvia at 2220 are declaring which other countries they prefer, and awarding points! O, it must be the Eurovision Song Contest, about which I had heard zero this year until running across this good signal. Azerbaijan was right up there in the voting and as I Googled later, came out the winner; next year in Baku! // 9420 with SAH and CCI-Iran, but 15630 much better now (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ISRAEL. 15850, May 14 at 2209, Galei Zahal, poor signal but audible for a change, mentioned Israel as soon as I tuned in, Hebrew. At 2219, peaking at S9+12. Also audible but very poor at 0454 May 15 in presumed Hebrew talk. WRTH says 10 kW (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** JORDAN. 11960, May 15 at 0452, Arabic music and announcement, good signal but heavy flutter, much better than Turkey 11980. This is R. Jordan, in what little is left of it on SW, per WRTH Update, 04-05 on 11960, irregularly at 1055-1130 on 15290 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 54-60 MHz, sporadic E analog TV DX faded in May 15 at 1438 UT, with weight-loss infomercial in Spanish, large numbers frequently across bottom of screen, 5004 0724, presumably a phone number. Then checked the DX Sherlock 6m QSO map and it showed only one contact between Houston and Atlanta via ``Iono-scatter``. Ch 2 in and out, still at 1452 but not much later, when the 6m map started to show Es across SW USA and border Mexico. Rotated antenna from SSE toward WSW BCN, but nothing yet on ch 2 or 3 by 1615 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NETHERLANDS [non]. 9500, since our last log of RNW in English by mistake, they are back in proper Dutch, May 14 at 2214, fair signal, better than before, via RWANDA, and about one second behind much better Bonaire // 15540 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. Stair cult vs Camping cult, religionists vs each other! 9385, Brother Scare via WWRB, May 15 at 1242 is contradicting Mr Camping about the May 21 Rapture. BS believes in it, but not the date, and Camping is `absolutely absurd`: his calculations are meaningless since ``there was no 10,000 years ago, no million years ago, no dinosaurs or prehistoric humans``. The real Rapture will come only after The Tribulation and is in the other direxion with heaven coming down to earth as in ``thy Kingdom come``, obviously. Battle of the wackos! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5050, WWRB with big band music, UT Sunday May 15 at 0355 checked on webcast. Altho the entire website is slow to be updated, the program schedule for `Global I` = 5050 has been, including 0330-0400 UT Sundays --- `Back to the 40`s``. See the entire grid http://www.wwrb.org/schedule/global_1/combined.pdf
which also shows that on UT Tuesdays at 0200-0230.

Also, a `Classical Music Program`, UT Saturdays 0030-0100. Then there`s `Back to the 80`s` in a couple of other blox, disco music. Some Sunday night shows might be of interest:
0200-0300 UT Mondays, `Planet X` presumably the oldtime SF drama
0300-0400 UT Mondays, AirCommand Radio --- what`s that?

The schedule for Global II still shows 12180, which has not been in use for years, and 3195, which tested briefly a few weeks ago, and no significant details.

Global III is nothing but The Overcomer on 9385, 3185.

Global IV says ``testing new frequency``, 15.795 MHZ | 090° Dual Feed Reflector Curtain Antenna Coverage http://www.wwrb.org/c_maps/090.php
at 1300-2200 (which we have not yet caught on the air). That map shows primary coverage into W, C, and E Africa, secondary coverage to S Africa, and more northerly regions.

Checked 15795 again just before despatching this report, May 15 at 1618: nothing, not yet, altho it`s likely to be highly variable like its neighbor WWCR 15825, JBA at the moment, depending on HF sporadic E enhancement as it`s otherwise in the F2 skip zone barely a megameter away (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

** FRANCE [non]. 17690, May 14 at 1359 musical prélude is playing before the RFI Spanish service via GUIANA FRENCH; 4-pip timesignal ended 5 seconds late at 1400:05! Then opening Spanish saying there would be only three minutes of news. VG signal, anyway (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** INDIA. 13695, May 14 at 1212, strong WYFR French is way over some CCI which I thought was Chinese vocal music, but per online skeds it`s AIR`s Tamil service via Bengaluru, about to become Telugu at 1215; altho HFCC also shows WRN has reserved 12-14 via Tajikistan on 13695 for something `new` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** INDONESIA. 9526-, May 14 sometime during the 12 UT hour I had some weak music from VOI, but didn`t hear the language; Ron Howard says it was back to Japanese today! At 1334, only a JBA carrier made it here during presumed English (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** IRAN. 15240, May 14 at 1218, fair signal, somewhat unstable carrier, rough modulation in Semitic language, an Arabic dialect? No, it must be `Ebri` as listed for VIRI, 500 kW, 259 degrees from Kamalabad at 1200-1230. While listening it never registered with me as Hebrew, maybe with Farsi accent? Say, does VIRI start even the Hebrew broadcast with Qur`an? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** LIBYA. 17725, May 14 at 1245, Beethoven`s Ninth riff just as I tune in, so has to be VoAf from the GJ, then talk in Swahili, fair-poor signal now, but rechecked after 1400 for English, had become JBA (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MOROCCO. 15345-, May 14 at 1456, RTM has already switched from 15341. This varies from day to day, and am trying to ascertain whether the current schedule is all one UT-hour earlier due to alleged DST of UT +1 from April thru July, as I have heard it past 2100, the nominal closedown, while the switch from 15341 to 15345 should be at 1400 instead of 1500, tho it has always been highly variable (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NIGERIA. 15120, VON, May 14 at 0519, good signal but with hum, well atop the Chinese CCI: it had been a couple weeks since VON was audible at this time. Now it`s the SSOB, altho there are lots of other signals on 19m tonite (but nothing significant from Australia 15160 and 15240, often the SSOBs or OSOBs). M&W with the UT Saturday mailbag show, and frequently giving all the times for any particular programs mentioned. Once thought I heard them say ``accuse letter``, maybe influenced by Spanish terminology, i.e. acknowledgment? Said people could listen to VON from 0445 to 2300 on http://www.voiceofnigeria.org (not .com; why don`t they use Nigeria`s extension? We hardly ever see it anywhere. WRTH listings for others show .ng while Niger is .ne)

At 1500 UT May 14 we tried the ``live broadcast`` on the website, an mms, but there was no connexion. The programme schedule at http://www.voiceofnigeria.org/programmeschedule.htm
altho autodisplaying current date, *still* claims Kiswahili and Yoruba at 15-16 instead of English! The mailbag is simply ``Listeners Letters`` at 0505-0530 UT Saturdays, and we know that is correct since we axually heard it. Only other time shown is Monday 1305, which would be when nobody reports VON on alleged 9690 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 15420-CUSB, last Saturday was missing so we wondered if the Brother Scare Sabbath Service had been canceled on WBCQ, but he`s back May 14 at 1407 check. This is `live`, when he really, really works himself into a lather, egged on by the psychophants at his cult compound near Walterboro.

BTW, if you look up The Overcomer Ministry in WRTH 2011 on page 494 under USA, and still in the A-11 update, you`d never know he is 24/7 on WWCR, WWRB, and lots of time on WBCQ; just a few hours via Germany (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TURKEY. 15450, May 14 at 1323, VOT news headlines in English, YL sign-off now claims to be on 15450 and 15520, an improvement over the B-10 schedule she was still announcing recently, both frequencies and time wrong, but still not up to speed as meanwhile the 15520 transmission had been moved to 1630 a sesquimonth ago. How can you work at a SW station and not know or care what frequencies you are really on? Easy: you`re not an SWL; it`s just another job. And internal communication is so poor that no one tells you the truth. Then only a fragment of the standardized IS before plugpulling (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9955, WRMI updated program grid via http://www.wrmi.net/pb/wp_d12a1732/wp_d12a1732.html

** VATICAN [non]. 13730, VR via CANADA, May 14 at 1212 concluding `news` with another PBXVI quote; only poor reception today as MUF has not built up over the path from Sackville. Now someone needs to check on Sunday whether VR remains in English at 1200, of closes after Spanish at 1130, as claimed by WRTH Update, which also shows Spanish at 1130-1200 except Sundays on 9830sac to SAm, along with daily to CAm on 13730sac. We thought that 13730 had replaced 9830, and the 9830 transmission does not show in HFCC A-11 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

Glenn Hauser logs May 12-13, 2011

** ANTARCTICA. 15476, as usual late coming on, May 13 at 1233 nothing, but *1238:19 carrier on with immediate musical prélude; 1249 switch to another song, then LRA36 ID and usual sign-on, not with ``Soy Feliz`` theme but song with similar beat. S9+12 and I have no time to listen further today.

I`m rather surprised that this is not being reported more widely. A 2 kW transmitter from 12 megameters away, the only SW station on the continent, is by any definition DX, altho some DXers are prejudiced against anything above the tropical bands. I continue to find it interesting to see how propagation from so far below varies from day to day, and how sign-ons vary from day to day, always remembering that it could vanish again for months at a time. Do others find it passé once logged; or just can`t get it? I realise timing is inconvenient for live listeners in eastern North America with a 9-5 job or school hours in the way (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BULGARIA. 11600, checking another R. Bulgaria Kostinbrod test frequency, altho not to NAm, at 0530-0700: May 12 at 0609, waltz music, then French ID. // 9600 a bit stronger but 11600 clearer, and 11600 also running about one second behind Plovdiv 9600.

Again UT May 13, at 0534 in German, 11600 seems further out of synch by about two seconds after 9600, then folk music at 0538. 11600 had more fading but signal levels about equal. The 100 kW Kostinbrod tests are to continue thru May 15; schedule in DXLD 11-18 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA [and non]. Checking whether RHC stays on new 6100 after hearing it during two May 12 transmissions: UT May 13 at 0252, Spanish is on 6120, not 6100 or 6150. At 0520, squealy English is back on reactivated 6150, ex-6100. At 1231, Spanish also back on 6150, ex-6100, // 6000. BTW, Ron Howard says MALAYSIA did not stay on 6100, apparently the transmitter moved to 7235 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** INDONESIA. 9526-, VOI, May 13 at 1207 song, 1208 English ID with website http://www.voi.co.id plugging streaming, also phone (text?) number and e-mail, chat. Said something about other languages including Indonesian, Arabic, Japanese, German, but too poor to copy details. Yesterday during this hour only, they switched to Indonesian and the other languages have been missing from SW. Did not hear any mention of SW frequencies like they used to do, altho all of them were wrong, out of use or 1 kHz off (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KUWAIT. 21540, May 13 at 1217, Arabic music from R. Kuwait, the SSOB, rivalled only by 21780 Rwanda, with hardly a trace of Spain on 21540 or 21610 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** RUSSIA [and non]. 13610, May 13 at 1353, `Moscow Nights` tune, then jazzed-up-tempo `Beethoven`s Fifth`; some CCI. 1358 to Chinese announcement and VOR IS until 1359*. Ergo this was VOR`s Chinese service, 250 kW, 230 degrees via Vladivostok, atop the CCI of CRI English via Kashgar, EAST TURKISTAN (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SPAIN [and non]. 11880, REE via COSTA RICA, May 13 at 1254 tuned in just in time to reconfirm that Basque is still running, and with spurious 5+1 timesignal ending at 1254:15! Maybe that part of program was pre-recorded and they couldn`t defeat it. 1255 back to Castilian plus Portuguese ID in promo, music fill.

17595, May 13 at 1305, I am listening carefully to the opening of `Españoles en la Mar`` with its Morse-code theme, because the fifth character should be one we never hear in English CW, the Enye, and yes, there it went, --.-- which did not always display properly in my previous item appearing in DXLD 11-18. Too-smart-for-its-own-good MS Word likes to combine two hyphens into one dash, or result in garble.

Before body of show, two separate promos asking listeners to contact them about whether listening on SW, satellite or internet; they are giving away 10 digital radios, and numerous books. This show`s particular address is enlamar @ rtve.es. Then onto first report, about problems facing the Spanish fleet fishing for red tuna off Libya.

About the possibility of closing SW, José Bueno in Spain says ``this time it`s serious`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SRI LANKA [and non]. 17735, May 13 at 1220, good signal with W&M conversation in C Asian language, one of them on the phone. Aoki shows R. Liberty in Kyrgyz during this semihour only. HFCC shows IBB Iranawila, 250 kW, 344 degrees, so also favors NAm far beyond Kyrgyzstan; had not noticed this one before. CRI Kashgar, EAST TURKISTAN, was also in well on 17490, 17650 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. Correxion to last report: I wrote 17745 twice instead of correct 17545! Here changed:

17545 // 15580, May 12 at 1430 with `International Edition` from VOA, good weekdaily newscast, closing at 1456 referring to VOA Asia, even tho these frequencies are from São Tomé to Africa, 124 and 138 degrees respectively, but both very good today even here.

1457 Editorial about Syria, but 17545 cut off at 1458:20* before it could finish. Then checked 15580 and it was also off, but came back on and off for a few more words of editorial, stayed on after 1500 for VOA News, unlike 17545. It seems the editorials have been scheduled during expendable transmitter-switching times just before hourtops, à la the Chinese lessons on CRI (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also PAKISTAN [non]

** U S A. 2390 is no longer on air, but 5050, WWRB, UT Friday May 13 at 0330 usual dead air, quick ID by Dave, finally at 0332 rough start of WORLD OF RADIO 1564 playback, cutting off part of the opening. Modulation OK, but I find that 5050 is weaker than its neighbors geographically and frequentially, 4840 WWCR and strongest 5755 WTWW, the three about 5 dB apart on my meter. Could be due to different rhombic antenna patterns. Dave replies:

``Greetings: Are we within 5 dB of each station? We are using a 150 foot high Rhombic that is beaming 045 degrees. The other stations antennas are on telephone poles less than 100 feet(?) high --- with wire sag? In that situation our Rhombic antenna will be much more directive. WWRB received about 10 Emails last night from Europe & eastern Canada stating that WWRB was 15 dB stronger than the other stations and significantly louder.``

Other WORLD OF RADIO 1564 monitoring: Confirmed on ACB Radio Mainstream webcast after 0300 Friday, to repeat 2-hourly thru 2330. On WRMI, Friday 1430+ confirmed on webcast, but not enough signal on unjammed 9955 at 1455 to be sure it`s on. Further airings on WRMI are: Saturday 0800, 1730, Sunday 0800, 1530, 1730. On WWCR: Friday 2030 on 15825, Saturday 1600 on 12160, Sunday 0630 on 3215. On IPAR: Saturday 1800 on 7290 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9370, WTJC, good May 13 at 0543 and spurless with 9345 and 9395 clear. Seems we are in another respite interlude (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. 17680, CVC La Voz, Miami via CHILE, as always with loud and clear signal even if little else is making it on 16m. Yet I avoid this station because I resent stealth evangelism as deeply dishonest. But I gave them a chance May 13 at 1347 with some admittedly catchy music. It`s in a countdown show of some sort, and this song initially seems secular/romantic, mixing some rap with normal crooning, ``Solo Tú``, a love song? Only in the sense of loving Jesús! Who toward the end is named as the object of affexion. Keeping this time from being totally wasted, I also noticed some IADs (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** VATICAN [non]. 13730, May 13 at 1212, VR via CANADA, fair signal and hardly any SAH from Portugal, ending `Vatican Radio World News` as always with a quick quote from PBXVI, this about May 13 being Our Lady of Fatima`s Day; reference http://www.vaticanradio.org and to be back [in English] at ``6:15 Rome Time`` --- i.e. 1615 UT to Eu/ME on 15595, 7250, 5885, 4005, 585 as in BDXC-UK`s comprehensive A-11 Broadcasts in English booklet. 1214 to open carrier, no IS before off by 1215 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 6170, May 13 at 1232 no signal at all, unlike 48+ hours earlier. I need to ask RNZI about that (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 9872 approx., May 13 at 0542 roaring noise, unseems DRM but could be jamming, or ute? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 12048 approx., extremely distorted FMy signal, talk sounds like English intonation, but not positive, May 13 at 0528. Checked RHC on 49m and VOR on 22m for // but neither fit. Then at 0529 heard a bit of the VTC fill music loop before cut off at 0529:45* Babcock has a lot of transmissions on the 12 MHz band, but none on 12045 or 12050 or anywhere else ending at 0530 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

Glenn Hauser logs May 11-12, 2011

** ALBANIA. 13625, May 12 at 1430 nothing heard until 1431 so R. Tirana apparently came on late with English schedule in progress, but very poor today, only S9+5 peaks and just barely modulated (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ANTARCTICA. 15476, LRA36, May 12 at 1234, no signal yet; *1235:28 immediately with musical prélude; poor at S7 to S9+8; 1246 YL ID and sign-on with SW and FM frequencies, G.C., ``Soy Feliz`` themesong, `Amanecer Austral` program, usual routine, staff credits talking over theme; 1250 giving 12 de mayo date, phone number. Too poor to stay with today. By 1313 it`s JBA at S6-7, inaudible by 1400 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BULGARIA. 11700, checking out R. Bulgaria`s 100-kW Kostinbrod transmitter tests to NAm instead of 300 kW Plovdiv at 2300-0300: I compared with the other frequency, 9700, which is still 300 kW Plovdiv, UT May 12:

0025 with music, 11700 is definitely stronger.
0122 with French, 11700 is much better than 9700.
0238 with music, 9700 has gained a bit but has some lite CCI, while 11700 has more selective fading. I taped clips for Ivo Ivanov.

Overall, I would say the 100 kW on 11700 is sufficient. Of course, a real comparison with 300 kW on 11700 only cannot be made now.

As for the QRM on 9700: HFCC has nothing else scheduled, but Aoki reminds us of Ethiopia from 0300, alternate to 9705 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. Firedrake May 12:
12980, good at 1346
13920, very good at 1213; none found lower in this hour. Also VG until 1300:00* with carrier on 5 seconds after modulation stopped. And again at 1346. No ute QRM this time, but Robin Harwood in Tasmania suggests the victim is VMC, Charleville, Queensland with WEFAX.
14700, VG at 1216; fair-good at 1347
14900, poor at 1216, // 14700
15430, good at 1348 // 13920. 15430 is vs V. of Tibet via UAE
15540, very poor at 1218, // 14700, het 15543 presumed V. of Tibet; poor at 1348, het 15542 or so
15550, poor at 1311, het 15548, presumed V. of Tibet
16980, fair at 1353

CNR1 jamming, I do not log as thoroughly as Firedrake, but note some here and there:
15115, 15250 and 15670 at 1225 and the latter continued long afterward
15330, May 12 at 1314 // 15670; 15330 is vs BBC Uzbek via Oman 13-1330
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 6100, new frequency without notice from RHC, ex-6150, May 12 at 0622 in English // 6060, 6050, 6010. Like 6150 it`s squealing and undermodulated. A mistake? If so, repeated for the 1100 broadcast in Spanish, still on 6100 at 1145 // 6000. And still squealing but not so undermodulated as was English. So much for MALAYSIA`s new 6100. Unclear why RHC would need to move off 6150 deliberately.

9570, CRI relay, May 12 at 1202 is open carrier, or maybe just barely modulated, and with some squeal filling the void.

9550, RHC Spanish, May 12 at 1202 outdoes 9550 in squealing, but plenty of modulation too in Spanish, plus CCI from CRI`s Vietnamese service, Commies vs Commies for Commies!

13680, yet another RHC frequency with squeal, May 12 at 1346. Maybe same transmitter upmoved from 9550 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GERMANY [non]. 15650, May 12 at 0615 fair in German and slightly ahead of // 13780, which are, respectively: 149 degrees from Sines, PORTUGAL; and 122 degrees from Woofferton, UK (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GUATEMALA. 4055-, May 12 at 0625, open carrier, surely from R. Verdad not turning off its transmitter. Also at 1149 carrier, but much weaker, JBA. Enid sunrise today 1128 UT, and will reach 1113 for earliest SR in about a month (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GUIANA FRENCH [and non]. 17870-17875-17880, May 12 at 1502, loud DRM noise. HFCC has GUF here every day thru 30 Oct at 1300-2100, 150 kW, 320 degrees, plus 1700-2100 150 kW 165 degrees, but it`s really only on sporadically. Now there is a special transmission for `Florida` from TDF Montsinéry, May 11-17 at 1431-1558 allegedly in English. Really for Jeff White`s NASB cruise away from Florida to Bahamas.

17875 much stronger than the DRM at same time on 15635-15640-15645, which is BBC via DW Trincomalee, SRI LANKA, so no wonder (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GUINEA. 7125, RTG, sometimes on well before 0600, but not May 12: still vacant at 0620, but by 0628 on with weak music, briefly louder as if wiggling that patchcord (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** INDONESIA. 9526-, May 12 at 1204 VOI in Indonesian, not Japanese or English, with IADs, during Warta Berita, good modulation and signal; 1205 Suara Indonesia ID, pronouncing website in English, song maybe with English lyrix; can`t tell. 1209 different music, talkovers, ID as ``Suara Indonesia --- Sound of Dignity``, 1210 continues in Indonesian. For the past biweek, 9526- had been only in English, not just during the 10-11 and 13-14 hours. At 1302, VOI back to English, poor signal, but audible SOD slogan, program summary.

Atsunori Ishida on http://rri.jpn.org/ agrees: ``May 12 9526 kHz Voice of Indonesia: English at *0950-1201 and 1301-1514*, Indonesian at 1201-1301 on May 12`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KOREA SOUTH [non]. 15360, May 11 at 1817, Slavic talk doesn`t sound like real Russian, but listed as such, KBS, 250 kW, 62 degrees from Rampisham UK; not much else from Europe on 19m at this hour. Maybe that`s Russian with a Korean accent (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** LIBYA. 17725, May 12 at 1354, VOAf from the GJ, fair in Swahili; I notice that the S-meter is fluxuating slightly with modulation, so reduced carrier? But can`t tell there is more on USB than LSB, and 1356 into English with drumming, talk about US of Africa, ``era of the masses``, 9.9.99; now unseems carrier is reduced. That effect probably resulted from selective fading, momentarily (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NETHERLANDS [non]. 9720, May 12 at 1155 W&M conversing at first seemed Burmese, but soon RNW ID in Indonesian with kHz; modulation and carrier breaking up, FMing; 1157 saying Spanish is about to begin ``on this satellite channel`` [but, but, this is SW, not satellite], then back to Indonesian! Breakup seems to include extraneous audio source. 1158 this signal fades down and off.

9720 was 100 kW, 225 degrees via IBB SAIPAN scheduled 1100-1157 with RNW Indonesian. That breakup was very much like what we have heard sporadically in previous seasons with IBB Vietnamese around this time, likely same defective transmitter.

9715, *1159 open carrier much stronger than the above, good with IS, not breaking up, Spanish ID as RNW via ``BONAIRE, Antillas Neerlandesas`` [do those exist anymore by that name??]; hum on audio, but live feed is clear with TC for 1200, ``La Matinal`` newscast, so RN is still doing news in Spanish if not in English! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PAKISTAN [non]. 15320, May 12 at 1220, SW Asian language quoting New York Times, Washington Post, Pakistan Post, also mentioning Pakistan several times, UBL, Richard Lugar. Good signal, but no pauses between sentences, as if edited too tightly, not read in real time. 1224 to clip of shouting rally, then different reporter.

HFCC shows this as IBB ``Pakistani``, 250 kW, 303 degrees from Tinang, PHILIPPINES, with same via Udorn, Thailand, 250 kW, 304 degrees before and after this semihour at 1100-1200, 1230-1300, why? To find out what language and `station` among the redundant overlapping services, we have to consult Aoki: R. Mashaal, in Pashto, but from Kuwait, no doubt a previous site already changed. However, EiBi has it as R. Free Afghanistan, in ``Afghan`` also via Kuwait (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SPAIN [and non]. 17850, as soon as I heard about the earthquake in Lorca on MSNBC, I tuned to REE, May 11 at 1830 via COSTA RICA, but just wild silly ballgame coverage in `Tablero Deportivo`. It took them until 1834 to interrupt it for a news bulletin about the quake, soon back to the game. First things first.

17595, May 12 at 1406, REE opening `Africa Hoy` announcing listener survey: do you hear this program on SW, satellite or internet? Write to africahoy@rtve.es or ree@rtve.es --- also gave long physical postal address instead of the 6-digit apartado usually heard, and offered a prize to those responding. I suspect most if not all individual REE programs are doing this, so everyone needs to put in votes for SW lest it be abolished (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5050, WWRB is experimenting with audio processing to make it sound louder and thus more valuable. May 12 at 0350, indeed it does sound louder than before, but also more distorted, made worse by the selective fading; how will it be during WORLD OF RADIO, UT Friday 0330v? The latest from Dave Frantz in reply to my report:

``This processor will keep us busy for some time making adjustments. We are receiving GREAT reports from listeners. WWRB is good and loud now. We have a few ground loop issues we need to work out, running all new wiring in the studios converting to digital audio. We will be testing 15795 very soon. Would you keep checking the signal and let us know how it sounds. We are adding various music programs from Disco to Classical. Basic web site updated http://www.wwrb.org 

``The operation of WWRB as a Ministry has been removed. Our transition to a Commercial radio station progresses rapidly. The skeds are to be updated in the next few days. Thank you for the reception report. Captain David L. Frantz, Chief Pilot, Airline Transport.``

Does that mean Brother Scare`s days on WWRB are numbered? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 15590, May 12 at 1229 pause, 1230 re-open in English as VOA Spanish, `Buenos Días, América`, W&M news starting with earthquake in Spain. VG signal from Greenville, but this has rather rough modulation, resulting from Wáshington or transmitter? No jamming audible.

17745 // 15580, May 12 at 1430 with `International Edition` from VOA, good weekdaily newscast, closing at 1456 referring to VOA Asia, even tho these frequencies are from São Tomé to Africa, 124 and 138 degrees respectively, but both very good today even here.

1457 Editorial about Syria, but 17745 cut off at 1458:20* before it could finish. Then checked 15580 and it was also off, but came back on and off for a few more words of editorial, stayed on after 1500 for VOA News, unlike 17545. It seems the editorials have been scheduled during expendable transmitter-switching times just before hourtops, à la the Chinese lessons on CRI (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also PAKISTAN [non]

** U S A. 9370, WTJC, May 12 at 1207, country hymn and no spurs audible, but maybe just below threshold. Even if they have backed down modulation, the spurs are bound to return (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1564 monitoring: did anyone notice whether WBCQ played 1564, or 1563, Wednesday May 11 at 2100, 2115 or 2130? Next airing on WRMI, 9955, UT Thursday May 12 at 0330 confirmed on webcast, nothing but wall-of-noise jamming on 9955; tnx a lot, Arnie!

Further times on WRMI: Thursday 1500, 2100, Friday 1430, Saturday 0800, 1730, Sunday 0800, 1530, 1730. On WWRB: Friday 0330v on 5050; On WWCR: Friday 2030 on 15825, Saturday 1600 on 12160, Sunday 0630 on 3215. On IPAR: Saturday 1800 on 7290. Full schedule including satellite and webcasts: http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [non]. 17580, May 12 at 1500, Harold droning about the end of the world --- boy, is he in for a surprise! Just pray the 89-year-old lasts that long. Tnx more to his billboards than broadcasts, Camping and May 21 are getting a lot of attention from the mainstream media, some with barely concealed derision.

17580 signal certainly better than it had been before 1500, and the reason is that the site switches from Wertachtal to Ascension, per HFCC, which assures us both will continue until 29 or 30 October!

Maybe Mr Camping has it all set up to keep Family Radio going on automation for the world in flames and destruxion, for the five months after he and all its eligible personnel are raptured-away (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 17775, no signal from KVOH, May 12 at 1501, and still none at 1707; normally it`s on and inbooming Tue-Fri and this was Thu (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. Ch 41 RF DTV, May 12 at 1508 UT, decoding intermittently as KMCI-TV 38-1, with People`s Court. Could not get a 38-2 or any others with it. This is from Lawrence KS. Also signs of other signals from that area, but not decoding; plus some weak analog CCI on ch 19 from that direxion, not OKC. This opening correlates with Hepburn`s tropo maps, but we were on the edge of the affected area, and moving away from us in next days (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** VENEZUELA [non]. While I was checking out RHC on 49m, finding it still on new/erroneous 6100, May 12 at 1145, I also noticed no RNV relay on 6060; another mistake, breakdown, or is that gone? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ZAMBIA [and non]. 13590v, 1Africa, tnx to log from Wolfgang Büschel measured on 13589.611, May 5 at 1725, I check more closely how far off it is when I get it: May 12 at 0613, VG signal around 13589.8, compared to 1590 and 9590 carriers. YL talking about ``spiritual hunger`` to be sated by an imaginary friend.

Next check at 1256 it`s closer to 13590, very slightly on the hi side now compared to RA 9590, VOA 15590, and much weaker vs CODAR. Axually, no definite ID this time, and it could have been VOR via Novosibirsk and no Zambia. When CVC shifted 10 kHz up for a few days, they were far enough off 13600 to cause an audible het with other stations, but from 0600 nothing else audible on 13590 to make the off-frequency obvious, altho several others are registered between 10 and 18 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 11500, May 12 at 1316 hummy open carrier with flutter, something very weak underneath, maybe Firedrake but not sure. Scheduled is V. of Russia, Hindi via TAJIKISTAN. This OC is there most days and suspected as an unnoticed breakdown at Dushanbe (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

Glenn Hauser logs May 11, 2011

** ANTARCTICA [and non]. 15476, no signal May 11 at 1235, so I tune the second set to BFO on 15475 in order to be notified when LRA36 turn on. That happens at *1244, late again, so back to the FRG-7 to hear musical modulation at S9 to S9+10. 1252, XYL ID, sign-on with frequencies, coördinates; then ``Soy Feliz`` theme song which runs about 5 minutes, with talkovers: 1254 mentions `Amanecer Austral` show title; 1259 chat without the music; 1303 peaking and then fading down some but still detectable the rest of that hour. There was a stronger Chinese on 15480 until 1300. It`s CNR1, Beijing 572 site per Aoki and HFCC, not a jammer!

When is `dawn`, anyway, now at Base Esperanza? Bookmark this:http://www.gaisma.com/en/location/esperanza--permanent-station-of-argentina.html

The trouble is, these data are given in supposedly `local` time, so you always have to check the UT offset at the bottom, and make further adjustments if there is DST. But it shows UT=0! We are quite sure Esperanza observes UT -3 = Argentina altho it should really be UT -4 at longitude 57 west, amid the 52.5 to 67.5 slice, so it`s on permanent DST like much of the home country.

Anyhow, gaisma shows today`s sunrise at 1215 UT, for a seven-hour `day`, but dawn started at 1118, so the sun is already up when LRA36 comes on the air. In two months` time, near the Solstice, those times will have latened to 1319 and 1211 UT.

The graph below shows that since BE is north of the Antarctic Circle, they never have to endure totally dark days, tho insolation in June is typically only 0.08 kWh/m²/day. This handy website also shows LRA36 is about 12 megameters from my ISP. At 2 kW, that makes 6 km per watt.

Altho LRA36 has a standard sign-on routine, with the musical prélude and `Soy Feliz`, I have never heard them play the Argentine national anthem, which one would expect as a radial raising of the flag (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA [and non]. Firedrake May 11: some DX log editors find this too much to cope with, but if arranging by individual frequencies, add date to each; and insert semicolons if running them all together
12980, good at 1229; none lower
13850, good at 1229, stronger than 12980
14700, poor at 1230
14950, very good at 1231; obviously radically different parameters from 14700. Since the ChiCom proudly defend themselves from such existential threats as Falun Gong, why not register the details?
15970, very good at 1231

Second set after 1300:
13920, very good at 1338 with ute QRM
14950, very poor at 1338
15900, good at 1328
15970, good at 1336 but less than // 15900

15670, CNR1 echo-jamming at 1233 vs nothing audible, but target is R. Free Asia in Tibetan via Tajikistan. 1234 is // 15480 with less echo, not a jammer; see ANTARCTICA [and non]

15795, Indian vocal music mixing with Chinese at 1231, i.e. jamming AIR Mandarin service; see also SAUDI ARABIA [and non] 17705. Watch out for WWRB planning to make 15795 a daytime frequency, neighborly to WWCR 15825. Should wait until the Indo-Chinese radio war is over at 1315
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** EQUATORIAL GUINEA. 15190, May 11 at 1330 some noise fading in and out; 1334 very distorted music, hummy hymn; 1339 modulation better in choral music, so R. Africa must be back after a few days off because the transmitter had been cutting off the air twice per second. Even during distortion period, the carrier was OK when checked with BFO. 1400 a non-screaming speaker could be convicted child-marrying evangelist Tony Alámo, but too poor to be sure. Earlier on 15190 I was getting IRAN [q.v.] in Chinese (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GUINEA. 7125, the sporadic RTG is again on the air early, May 11 at 0542 with hilife music, bothered by T-storm noise, but sure stix out in the middle of the hamband (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GUYANA FRENCH. 15770-15775-15780, DRM noise May 11 at 1232, bothering WYFR AM Spanish on 15770. Nothing at all in latest HFCC on 15775, but Jacques Gruson, F6AJW publicized a DRM test to India from Montsinéry, in the drmna list via Alokesh Gupta, for 12 May only at 1500-1657, 100 kW. I can only assume that like so much DRM operation, this is same, ad-hoc, outside the publicized schedule. Not very strong here (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** INDIA. AIR Chinese service, 15795 and 17705: see CHINA [and non]; SAUDI ARABIA [and non]

** INDONESIA. 9526-, VOI, May 11 at 1314 going from `Today in History` to `Focus`, S9+20 but undermodulated YL, too tough to copy. It`s always something (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** IRAN. Checking for R. Africa [see EQUATORIAL GUINEA], 15190, May 11 at 1238 instead heard weak signal with music, then talk sounds like Chinese. Ahá, that fits for IRIB in Chinese at 12-13, 500 kW, 64 degrees from Kamalabad. R. Africa is lucky they don`t have more competition for 15190 as they refuse to participate in HFCC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KOREA NORTH. 15180, May 11 at 1241, VOK, inbooming, VG signal but heavy flutter, with triumphal music, Korean (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PORTUGAL. 17575, May 11 at 1325, RDPI with Portuguese rap by OM alternating with normal singing by YL in same song, not appealing, but we must treasure each moment of SW from here before self-destruxion. Also was very poorly audible on 21655 at 1321 as the OSOB (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** RWANDA [and non]. 21780, May 11 at 1245 French report about Abidjan, OSOB. In B-10 this frequency-hour was from Rampisham, but nothing else in from Europe, so uplooked later this is why: now it`s DW, 250 kW, 295 degrees from Kigali at 1200-1257. By 1321 the OSOB was a very poor PORTUGAL on 21655 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SAUDI ARABIA [and non]. 17705, May 12 at 1245 Arabic mixing with Indian music, i.e. the Mandarin service of AIR, but no ChiCom jamming audible! Probably on but not propagating, so only a two-way clash instead of three- (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TURKEY. 15450, VOT English to Europe and consequently NAm, but only fair May 11 at 1307 reading reception report, concluding `Letterbox`, then `Question of the Month`. Now I copy a bit more of it, but not enough: ``which of the following cities is ----??``

I give up; the 11 May program file is on demand in lower-left of http://www.trt-world.com/trtworld/en/news.aspx
--- but plays silently on Quicktime, ``error synching to stream`` on Winamp. Foiled again!

VOT is fooling itself, trying to broadcast to the `World` only from the Emirler site inside Turkey, while relay sites in the Western Hemisphere are going to waste. They had a good thing going with Sackville but let it loose (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9370, May 11 at 0547 could not hear any spurs from WTJC! Has Jesus answered my prayer already? Must have been obscured by T-storm noise provided by His colleague Thor, weak signal, for at 1314 check, still distorted spurs circa 9345, 9395 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENNG DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. 9875, May 11 at 0546 VG open carrier, 0548-0550* also with exactly 1000 Hz tone test. Typical behavior of IBB, especially Greenville, but not scheduled anywhen on this frequency. They have a roster of test-only frequencies, which don`t appear in HFCC. Here`s why. At 0600 GB starts VOA French on 9880, but it`s already occupied by Botswana with same. So to avoided QRMing itself, VOA tune-up test is on a nearby frequency instead. In other cases we have heard VOA QRMing itself anyway, or some other station in the way.

13595, May 11 at 0551-0552* fair signal with another 1-kHz tone test including some breaks. Can this be explained in same way? Maybe. Per HFCC, the nearest, both in frequency and time, IBB transmission on this band is: 13610, 0900-1100 Chinese, 100 kW, 300 degrees from SAIPAN (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1564 monitoring. This week finished in time for an earlier start, confirmed first broadcast on WRMI webcast, Wednesday May 11 at 1530. Repeats on WRMI, 9955: UT Thu 0330, 1500, 2100, Fri 1430, Sat 0800, 1730. On WBCQ: Wednesday 2100 (or 2115 or 2130) on 7415. On WWRB: UT Friday 0330 on 5050 only. On WWCR: Friday 2030 on 15825, Saturday 1600 on 12160, Sunday 0630 on 3215. On IPAR: Saturday 1800 on 7290 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 6170, RNZI takes a one hour break at 11-13 to be on 9655 instead, and per HFCC nothing else is scheduled on 6170. Yet May 11 at 1212 I am hearing something on 6170! Sounds like SE Asian songs, but T-storm noise level is too much. Aoki shows nothing but the low-power Filipino on 6170.4, but this is surely too strong for that. Eibi also shows DZRM until 1300, plus Scandinavian Weekend Radio, but that`s only on first-Saturdays and certain-holidays such as ``Midsummer`` June 24 instead of true Solstice date June 21.

I suspect the most likely explanation is that RNZI itself has again shown up on the wrong frequency, but I did not think to check 9655, which is hard to hear anyway when on since it`s aimed at Timor. However, the RNZI programme schedule shows M-F 1205-1300 `Late Edition` which looks more like a news than a music show. Something new from elsewhere? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED [and non]. 15630, May 11 at 1335 I am hearing not only Greece with fill music for general-strike-day, but a fast SAH and tone-test from something else.

Per HFCC, at 13-15 there is a `new` WRN broadcast, 100 kW, 70 degrees via Dushanbe, TAJIKISTAN. A lot of these registrations are stand-by contingencies, but it looks like something is imminent. Should surely avoid Greece`s frequency. Oh, Aoki shows it already:

15630 1300-1330 TJK Voice of Wilderness Kor Dushanbe-Ya 2-7 
15630 1300-1400 TJK Voice of Wilderness Kor Dushanbe-Ya 1   

What`s that? A Cornerstone Ministries broadcast from HQ Tustin, California for North Korea (as if the poor NKs don`t have enough problems without adding a foreign religion), page 505 of WRTH 2011, on a different frequency in B-10; but why the tone instead?

Stabilità in frequenza dei miei ricevitori L-M-SW:
R7 DRAKE - Stabile, ma nel tempo si sposta di
frequenza, alcune centinaia di Hz per circa un'ora,
poi a caldo si ferma.
-
VR5000DSP YAESU - In SSB appena acceso è offset
circa +360 Hz, dopo un'ora scende a +120 Hz.
Comunque, a distanza di + o - 20 Hz (o meno)
dalla QRG di trasmissione effettiva la differenza a
orecchio comincia ad essere irrilevante.
-
ATS909 SANGEAN - Nonostante la possibilità di
riallineamento tramite compensatore interno,
a freddo torna sempre offset.
-
Monitorerò anche gli altri portatili perché trovo
il confronto interessante, più che altro per rendermi
conto che la precisione nella lettura della frequenza
non è solo in funzione della risoluzione minima del
ricevitore e sono convinto che dipenda anche dalla
stabilità del trasmettitore.
