Glenn Hauser logs December 17-18, 2011

** ANGUILLA. 11775, altho it was on earlier Dec 17, Caribbean Beacon is gone at 2224 check, after nominal switch to night frequency 6090, but it too remains missing. See NIGERIA, BRAZIL (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BRAZIL. 6090v, Dec 17 at 2308, after NIGERIA [q.v.] has closed in the absence of ANGUILLA [q.v.], very poor signal left sounds Brazilian, and then I am barely able to // it to equally vp signal on 9645v, i.e. R. Bandeirantes. Other // 11925v not propagating or not on (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. Finally some Firedrake audible here, Dec 17 before 2400 UT:
14700, very poor at 2348, with CCI?
14970, good at 2348
16100, very good at 2349; none above or below these frequencies
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CYPRUS. 6135, Dec 17 at 2235, good signal with `ME` music, no announcements. Only QRM a bit o` bonker on the lo side which was evitable by tuning to the hi side. Only when it cut off abruptly at 2244* did it occur to me that it`s probably CyBC, scheduled 2215-2245 on Fri/Sat/Sun, but I didn`t realize 6135 is their B-11 channel on 49m. It was 6180 last B-season and 5925 in A-11. 6135 is 250 kW, 314 degrees to W Europe and hence USward too from the BaBcoCk Zyyi site, same as // 7220 and 9760. HFCC doesn`t distinguish between this and BBC relays except for listing language as Greek (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NIGERIA. 6090, Dec 17 at 2225, since ANGUILLA [q.v.] is missing, what else can we hear? Sounds like a TAL [tonal African language], such as Hausa as scheduled from FRCN Kaduna; also rumble QRM from something else and lite het; bits of singing mixed in, off at 2300* apparently uncovering BRAZIL, q.v. (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 89.5, the stereo open carrier all day is still being heard, altho seemingly not as strong as initially, when one drives around the western half of Enid. And after dark, still playing Xmas-rock tunes, presumably to accompany a flashing light show at some residence.

Saturday afternoon, Dec 17 I decide to spend some time trying to find it by DF/strength before the music and lights start. Still get it best circa intersexion of Oakwood and Chestnut, but unless I spend a lot more time to drive more streets in the neighborhood, or get some other tip, it will remain unfound.

I also drove out to the house on Pheasant Run which was doing this last December on 99.7. He`s set up again this year, but the sign in lights, almost invisible in daylight, now says ``TUNE TO 99.9``. I did, and he is also leaving his stereo carrier on all day, when I was there at 2120 UT, but this one is really Part 15, losing out by only 100 meters away. It`s at the extreme western edge of inhabited Enid in a development of expensive ticky-tacky, while the unfound 89.5 must be further east in west-central Enid.

Of course, I don`t expect anyone further to be able to DX either one, but this is an example of what others could find in their own towns  at yearend (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SPAIN. 6055, VG signal Dec 17 at 2356, REE is concluding French hour with music, sign-off giving 6055 and 5970 (the latter Sat/Sun only) interrupted by IADs; 2358 IS, 0000 Dec 18 sign-on by Justin Coe in English but then right into ``no sólo hablamos español`` promo, and then music without IADs. At least they are modulating this time instead of almost two hours of dead air as previously logged (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TURKEY. 5960, sufficient, Dec 17 at 2316 I tune to VOT as it`s an on-week for the fortnightly `DX Corner`, but Sheref Isler is reading a script about Mevlana, who apparently died on this date, mentioning whirling dervishes. It seems there is a W.D. festival each year at this time. I subsequently learned much more about that by Googling, topped by this from a commercial tour promotion site
http://www.istanbullife.org/whirling-dervish-sufi-ceremonies-in-silivrikapi.html

``Known to the west as Whirling Dervishes, the Mevlevi Order was founded by Mevlana Rumi in the 13th century. The Order wrote of tolerance, forgiveness, and enlightenment. They survive today as a cultural brotherhood. They are not theatrical spectacles but sacred rituals. The ritual of the Mevlevi sect, known as the sema, is a serious religious ritual performed by Muslim priests in a prayer trance to Allah. Mevlevi believed that during the sema the soul was released from earthly ties, and able to freely and jubilantly commune with the divine. Dervish literally means "doorway" and is thought to be an entrance from this material world to the spiritual, heavenly world. The Whirling Dervishes played an important part in the evolution of Ottoman high culture.

From the fourteenth to the twentieth century, their impact on classical poetry, calligraphy and visual arts was profound. Rumi and his followers integrated music into their rituals as an article of faith. Rumi emphasized that music uplifts our spirit to realms above, and we hear the tunes of the Gates of Paradise.``

This lasted until 2322:30, then the familiar `DX Corner` theme and YL (mumbles name, Gemma?) says this will be a ``short program due to time limitations``, presumably the preceding special, but it turned out to 15+ minutes. For those of us who keep up with radio-related press, it`s mostly familiar stuff: EDXC Conference with DSWCI AGM to be in Germany; world`s first reception report, an Adrian Peterson item lifted from Wavescan; 2330 NASA internet radio station; Steve Wozniak, WA6BND, interviewed 14 Dec on BBCR4 Today program, and on demand; new Philippine radio station on 864 kHz; ham balloon, K6RPT-11 on 144.390 MHz crossing the Atlantic from California; Bhutan back on 6035 after 2+ years; Radio Seagull, 1395, heard in Canada by Allan Willie; DXpedition from Jan 29 on a beach in El Salvador listing a bunch of German ham calls, to activate a rare prefix, see http://www.hu2dx.de/

Some of the items were credited to Southgate and you`ll find them via http://www.southgatearc.org/ Some of those surely came from Media Network, also quoted by Southgate, such as the Philippines item,
http://blogs.rnw.nl/medianetwork/philippines-new-radio-station-opens-in-puerto-princesa 
which was credited only to MN`s source, the Philippine Information Agency. Wrapped up and into music fill at 2338 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7490, Dec 17 at 2230, WBCQ is on again this Saturday with gospel rock on `I Sing Radio`, and with heavy QRM de BBCWS Thailand in English, as I have repeatedly had to report to no avail. Recheck at 2345, same QRM situation during the 22-24 BBC transmission. Meanwhile, a nice clear frequency nearby, 7505 goes vacant, tied up by imaginary WRNO, off the air for over a year (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1595: is scheduled to appear this week on Area 51, on WBCQ 5110v-CUSB, says http://www.worldmicroscope.com/ UT Monday Dec 19 at 0330, following Larry Will`s `Free Radio` live show at 0300. Also on WTWW 5755, UT Sunday 0500; on WRMI 9955, Sunday 0900, 1630, 1830, Monday 1230. On WRN via SiriusXM Channel 120, Sunday 0930 and 1830 UT (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. Pirates, presumably North American: 6924.9 AM, Dec 17 at 2312 music with a heavy beat, but I decide to go with Turkey q.v. as the DX program is about to start. When it ended at 2339, 6924.9 was off.

6950.0-SSB, Dec 17 at 2340, Xmas stories and music to tune of Jingle Bells. Next check at 2352, this one is off. Some weak SSB on 6945 then appears to be 2-way, with pauses (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Qrss

Oggi, dopo parecchio tempo, ho provato a ricevere qualche segnale in telegrafia lenta QRSS  in Qrp sulla banda dei 30 metri. Usando il Perseus e il software Spectrum Lab ho sintonizzato su 10.139 Khz USB in modo da visualizzare i segnali a 10.140 khz sullo spettro di Spectrum Lab a partire da 1000 hz.

 Con mio stupore ho trovato la banda con parecchio segnali, tra quelli che si leggono piu' facilmente segnalo  il segnale di G0PKT si puo' leggere  in DFCW a 900 hz, che corrispondono a 10.139.900 e anche G0MBA su 1080 hz,

Ecco una schermata http://imageshack.us/f/684/capt131.jpg/

Piccoli airtiranni perseverano...

Ho ancora qualche giorno pagato di una lista e una rivista che fra qualche giorno, pace all'anima sua, chiuderà i battenti. Oggi dopo mesi ho risposto ad un messaggio di Angelo Brunero che ha ascoltato The Mighty KBC su 6096 kHz per chiedergli se Wertachtal era realmente fuori frequenza di un kHz. Il messaggio non è passato, ma almeno è servito per capire che continua la ridicola e indegna censura nei miei confronti, e probabilmente non soltanto... Si commenta da solo.

Glenn Hauser logs December 17, 2011

** CHINA. Firedrake search Dec 17: still nothing found, 7-19 MHz between 1350 and 1359; and 19-7 MHz between 1455 and 1500. Propagation conditions are certainly subnormal, judging from generally weak signals, especially E Asia above 10 MHz.

However, tnx to several (Leonard J Rooney in PA, Noel Green in UK, Chris Scarff in NE, Julie Murphy in NSW), who replied that they are still hearing some Firedrake at various times on previously known frequencies, but mostly in the 09-12 UT period rather than my favorite morning monitoring time of 13-15.

Except Julie Murphy in NSW who also logged FD Dec 16 before 1400 on 15900, 16100, same time as I was checking those frequencies without results. Leonard Rooney also heard some before and after 00 UT Dec 15-16 on 13850, 11500. Their full reports will be integrated into the next DXLD 11-51 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** EGYPT. 15160, Dec 17 at 1458 past 1500, open carrier; at 1501 some modulation starts but it`s very distorted, on peaks only. Listed as R. Cairo in Ozbaki = Uzbek at 1500-1600, 250 kW, 61 degrees from Abis to CIRAF 30 = W Asia (often referred to as Central Asia, even tho it`s much closer to the Urals than to the middle of the continent around Mongolia) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ISRAEL. 13850, Dec 17 at 1458, IBA IS weakly audible aside 13845 WWCR, so the Persian service at 1500-1630 is still here while // 15760 was to have switched to 9985, also too close to WWCR (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KOREA NORTH [non]. 6135, Dec 17 at 1348, Shiokaze via JSR Tokyo/Yamata, JAPAN hasn`t jumped frequency yet, distinctive news sounder, tho poor signal, seems Korean language today (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MAURITANIA. 7245, Dec 17 at 0611, IGIM already on with chanting (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** RUSSIA [and non]. 9670-9675-9680, Dec 17 at 1405, DRM noise also interfering with 9860 analog. It`s VOR at 13-18, 100 kW, 260 degrees from Moskva-Taldom site, the first two hours with double service in English and Russian, per Aoki. Strong enough to be a nuisance, not strong enough to decode here, I expect.

9680 bothered by the noise, but apparently open or barely-modulated carrier. Could be another RRI breakdown, but Taiwan/Chinese jamming are also here, and HFCC shows NHK Yamata on 9680 at 14-16, apparently wooden, not in Aoki or EiBi (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 15700, Dec 17 at 1507, open carrier, off a few minutes later. HFCC has something `new` registered this hour for WRN due south via KCH = Pridnestrovye, but probably not in effect. More likely R. Bulgaria tune-up prior to its 1600 broadcast on 15700, during a break after the 1500 broadcast on 15600 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Glenn Hauser logs December 15-16, 2011

** ANGUILLA [and non]. 6090 missing for at least the third night, Dec 16 at 0615, just weak signals from something, maybe Nigeria; and also have to beware of RHC leapfrog mix of 6010 over 6050 in English. Everyone should be cleaning up with other 6090 stations, such as Ethiopia which I heard the night before. DGS/PMS/TUN remains active on day frequency 11775, and still unsure whether, unpropagable, it is just staying on all night instead of 6090 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CANADA. 9625, Dec 16 at 0620, CBCNQ is still on with tone test after close-down at 0606; haven`t heard this extension for a while (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. 6060, Dec 16 at 1138, Tagalog talk mentioning Pilipinas, mixing in English terms such as cease-fire, chief of staff armed forces, deliberate offensive, but numbers pronounced in Spanish, fair signal and hoped for something more interesting than China Radio International as then pronounced in English. HFCC shows 500 kW, 165 degrees from Beijing site at 1130-1200. Fortunately, the Cuban relay of Venezuela which used to occupy this frequency-hour is long gone (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. Fifth day without any Firedrake to be heard, Dec 16 before 1200, and re-searched 10-19 MHz before 1400 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ECUADOR. 6050, Dec 16 at 1129, you have to get up early to hear HCJB direct any more, on its only frequency, blocked in the evenings by the recalcitrant Arnie Coro`s RHC. HCJB IDs, timechex for 6:30/5:30, auto timesignal, `Al Día` morning news show, no het from Malaysia or anything (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** IRAN. 15735, Friday Dec 16 at 1333, Qur`an really heartfelt by a guy putting more emotion into it than usual, reverb added; 1343 brief YL announcement, more Qur`an; 1352 change to music and soft Arabic discussion; good signal at first, weakening a lot after 1400. HFCC shows it`s IRIB, 500 kW, 289 degrees from Zahedan in Arabic at 0530-1430 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KOREA SOUTH. 6550, Dec 16 at 0612, YL in presumed Korean, poor signal but stronger than jammed services on 6600 and 6518. At 0613 also on // 6435 a bit stronger but with ute QRM unlike 6550.

Next check at 1133 just in time to hear female choral music and now 6435 is S9+20, considerably stronger than 6550, which goes off first, open carrier past 1134 on 6435. So far have not heard any jamming on these two. It seems we heard this new service on its very first day Dec 8, followed up by the Japanese DXers with this schedule (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MAURITANIA. 7245, Dec 16 at 0618, IGIM is on this Friday with chanting (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. Pre-sunrise MW DX Dec 16:

830, Dec 16 at 1200 UT I look for Mexican national anthems where it`s 5 or 6 am, and find one here, choral version. Hard to null WCCO, however, then 6:01 TC, ID(?) as R. Sótano, Piedras Negras, local news. So is XEIK, Coahuila, IRCA 2010-listed as La Norteñita, 5 kW day and maybe as much at night, roughly collinear with Minneapolis.

940, Dec 16 at 1204, Mexican NA in a version I have not heard before, YL very nice alto voice, but faded before any ID heard. Need to pursue this one further.

980, Dec 16 at 1206, choral NA looping WSW, sign-on by YL mentions Cananea, Sonora, then OM continues with ``radio pública``, addresses, Instituto Mexicano de la Radio, then to live announcer with 5+ am timecheck, temperature as -7, which is not that unusual along the northern frontier in winter. Is XEFQ, La Voz de la Ciudad del Cobre, 1/0.5 kW, heard before (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NIGERIA. 15120, Dec 16 at 0625, VON is the SSOB, virtually the OSOB, peaking S9+15 with hum, English, discussing World Trade Organization. Usually doesn`t make it any more (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. Altho there was more fog last night, a bit of area tropo builds up tonight, UT Dec 16 at 0420 as both KUOK-LP ch 48 with Univisión, and weaker KUOT-CA ch 19 with GCN religious network are analogically NTSC-visible from OKC. Notably the latter is in squeeze-o-vision, as apparently their network feed is 16:9 and they don`t want to letterbox it; makes the preacher wandering around the stage rather narrow, to go right along with his theology.

Checking listings at W9WI.com, I was surprised to find no KWDW on channel 48 any more. The calls have now changed to KUOK-LP, not to be confused with the real full-power (if not really a megawatt yet), plain old KUOK, channel 35 in Woodward (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SPAIN [and non]. 17850, Dec 15 at 1834 a bit surprised to hear REE in Portuguese. This VG signal is the COSTA RICA relay aimed 340 degrees to NAm. It`s also on // 15125 aimed 110 degrees to SAm. HFCC is useless for details of REE schedule, as it`s over-registered without language details. This version put up by DXers:
http://programasdx.com/principal_archivos/frecuenciasreeb11.pdf
and this one which appears to copy it
http://aer-dx.org/novedades/index.php?IdRSS=211
both show Portuguese M-F at 1830-1900 on *all* REE ``Spanish`` frequencies, which if read literally show Spanish *also* on those frequencies at 1830-1900, in addition to before and after. Portuguese is just an aberration, or subset of Castilian (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1595 monitoring: confirmed on 9479 WTWW, Thursday Dec 15 at 2200. At 2229 I tuned in 7490 to confirm it on WBCQ, but it was just ending! About 30 sex behind WTWW, and 2230 starting Amos `n` Andy, plus continuing with another episode after 2245. For some reason the two were swapped this week. No reply from WBCQ as to whether this is a permanent change. So next Thursday check at 2200 just in case.

Also confirmed after 0430 UT Friday Dec 16 on 3195 and 5050 WWRB.
On 9955 WRMI at 0600 UT Friday: inaudible, with only very lite residual pulse jamming. Next best chance is UT Sunday 0500 on 5755 WTWW (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 6850, Dec 16 at 0616 check, RTI via WYFR is still in wrong language, German instead of Spanish. Now I have an idea why I was previously hearing weak duplicates on 7000 and 6750 --- super-strong 6875 mixing with Wadley-loop even-MHz, FRG-7 birdie at 7000 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1300, Dec 16 at 1211 UT, `Gospel Hour` from ``Shreveport`s premier station`` , i.e. KSYB. Found website http://www.amistadradiogroup.com/ with audio greeting pronouncing Amistad with short A`s as if it were an English word: ``The Gospel Power House --- The Station God Listens To!!!`` Tnx for the promotion. 5000 watts day, 30 watts night, and it`s definitely still night. NRC AM Log 2011-2012 does not show a PSRA, but there is one of 500 watts, which is more like it after 6 am local, per:
http://licensing.fcc.gov/cgi-bin/prod/cdbs/forms/prod/getimportletter_exh.cgi?import_letter_id=5041
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1460, Dec 16 at 1213 UT, S Asian songs, segués including one at 1222, no announcements. Hard to get a fix, seems sort of E-W, but the only ETHnic format in NRC AM Log anywhere around here is KBRZ, Houston TX, and their ``International Language Radio`` schedule fits:
http://www.kbrzradio.com/5.html
with `Sangeet Radio` M-F 6 am to midnight, more variety on weekends (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENINGN DIGEST)

** VATICAN [non]. 9865, Dec 16 at 1145, Spanish from R. Vaticano, er, Vaticana, with homilies or something for Dec 16 date; QRDRM from 9865-9870-9875, i.e. RNZI, now scheduled 0759-1158. VR is 100 kW, 227 degrees from Sackville to E USA, Mexico, CAm and Caribbean, so this DRM is QRMing an analog service in its own target area (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic carrier search on 10-kHz-step caradio UT Dec 16 around 0235 found hets on: 530, 670, 690, 890, 910. The last two look TA for sure, 891 likely Algeria and 909 most likely BBC Radio 5 Live totalling 401 kW, altho I couldn`t tell which side of the NAm frequencies. 531 probably Algeria too unless LYQ is back on 529, but I doubt it. 671 of course Cuba. The 690 het was less than 1 kHz, so some off-frequency American station; ideas? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

FRSH Seasonal Broadcast Sun Dec. 18th 2011

Following successful December broadcasts in the past few years (but also long time ago), FRS-Holland will again take to the airwaves over the X-Mas Holiday Season. December 18th we will continue a long time tradition. On that day FRSH will be on 7600//5800 kHz between 07:52- 14:00 CET. After close down, the full programming will be repeated via the internet between 15:52- 22:00 CET: < http://nednl.net:8000/frsh.m3u>.  Pxs will be presented by Jan van Dijk doing the German show & Dave Scott will be playing classic rock.

Peter Verbruggen will look back to what happened in the past on December 18th (Day Calendar) and plays a mix of 80s/90s/00s records in FRS Magazine. He will also host two FRS Goes DX editions with the latest news from the wonderful world of wireless. During all pxs we will read out October mail and Season's Greetings. There's also the Phrase that Pays. And: we make a flash back to December 1988 when FRS-Holland was on the air with a Seasonal broadcast. Remeniscing....23 years ago.....Tune in next Sunday and taste the spirit of December!! It will be worth while.

Glenn Hauser logs December 15, 2011

** ANGUILLA. 6090, Caribbean Beacon/University Network is missing again tonight, UT Dec 15 at 0344, audiblizing ETHIOPIA, q.v. Day frequency 11775 is still heard around 1337 tuneby. Could be it`s stuck there 24 hours, as happens periodically, but not propagating at night. Or does it still go off circa 2200? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ANTARCTICA. 15476, Dec 15 at 1339 and 1442, no trace of a carrier from LRA36 during its last known hours of 13-15 Thursdays (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BELARUS [non]. 6155, Dec 15 at 0426 strong signal in funny Russian repeatedly mentioning Belarus, and very good modulation too. So is it R. Belarus, as used at 17-23 for external service? No! It`s R. Liberty, via Wertachtal, GERMANY at 04-05 in Belorussian (also 03-04 via Lampertheim), a neat setup to `inherit` Minsk`s listeners the next morning: 0431 ID in passing as R. Svoboda. Strangely enough, Belarus` own 6155 schedule is missing from EiBi, but not from Aoki or HFCC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHAD. 6165, Dec 15 at 0428, RN Bonaire has just gone off, so now we hear hilife music, fast SAH from some CCI, Zambia? Or BBC Cyprus in Persian. 0430 French, more music, from RNT, which supposedly just signed on at 0427, but lately has been running 24 hours. Currently there is a sesquihour window until Bonaire is back on 6165 at 0600 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. For the fourth day, no Firedrake at all to be heard! Is anyone, anywhere, hearing FD at anytime? Dec 15 searched 7-19 MHz at 1335-1345 and 1440-1445. Maybe Sound of Hope has quit running all those 100-watt nuisance transmitters (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 13670, Dec 15 at 1439 and also after 1500: today`s anomaly from RHC, this frequency is missing tho scheduled until 1600 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also IRAN

** EGYPT. 6270, Dec 15 at 0425, huge S9+25 signal from R. Cairo, but just barely modulated with Qur`an. It`s listenable by turning the volume all the way up, but more modulation, less signal would be more efficient, and never forget to turn the volume down before tuning away from the frequency. Gone after 0430. HFCC shows this is 200 kW, 325 degrees from Abis, including English to E NAm at 2300-2430, and furthermore exactly same parameters at 1800-2245 to Europe in Italian, German, French, English 2115-2245 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ETHIOPIA. 6090, Dec 15 at 0344, like 21 hours earlier, Anguilla is missing (stuck on non-propagating day frequency 11775? Or just off the air), so instead we can hear Horn of Africa music; and no het either like after 0600 from off-frequency Nigeria and/or Brasil. 0352 starts talking in presumed Amharic, but signal is weakening vs QRM; 0400 reverbed announcement, ululations. Presumed Amhara State Radio, as in EiBi at 0255-0600, which strangely enough is missing from Aoki, and naturally missing from HFCC. WRTH 2011 says 100 kW, site is Geja, and this Amhara State Regional Radio is in Bahir Dar (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** INDIA. 9425, AIR National Channel from Bangaluru, Dec 15 at 1424 has good signal and modulation in Hindi, but // 9470 from Aligarh is JBM (just barely modulated) as I can tell on weaker signal, despite splash from 9479 WTWW. I listen for the 5-minute English newscast at 1430: soon after it starts there is a semiminute of dead air where apparently a clip of the Chief Minister was supposed to go, then about Indian-Russian coöperation; food inflation in India is at a 4-year low. Caster speaks too rapidly but fortunately with good dixion; can`t decide if the voice is M or F, androgyny being ideal to appeal to all audiences. 1435 back into Hindi, music and talk (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** INDONESIA [and non]. 9526-, Dec 15 at 1425, VOI poor signal with low modulation apparently in Indonesian; the 9530 Chinese radio war ends at 1400, making the 13-14 English useless, not audible in months, but now VOI is so low that splash from 9520 RVA Philippines in Tamil is bothersome (but would end at 1427).

9680, meanwhile, Dec 15 at 1426, RRI domestic relay has much better signal and modulation during gamelan, but heavy CCI from Taiwan/China; also one of the QRMing stations is putting talking clix on 9680, as well as spikes on 9675 and 9685 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** IRAN [and non]. 7200, Dec 15 at 0333, V. of Justice with Qur`an as always in the first few minutes of VIRI transmissions, atop CCI presumably Sudan which was here first on this bandedge frequency making SAH of about 4 Hz; // 7365 is stronger with Qur`an, but much heavier interference from the Cuban-American radio war; while if VIRI really tried, they could find two clear frequencies this hour on the 7 MHz band, but don`t expect any improvement before A-12. 0335 English translation of Qur`an, 0336 YL with program summary, V. of Justice ID, 0337 hokey news theme by military band, more modern news sounder, and finally, news. Too much QRM to try to listen any further. 0424 recheck, 7200 still with CCI, and 7365 still under the DentroCuban Jamming Command, and Radio Martí (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KOREA NORTH [and non]. 6135, Thursday Dec 15 at 1331, Shiokaze is opening in Japanese; besides nearby bonker in the background, some Juche noise jamming too, not audible here until today, so it`s about time for Sea Breeze to jump frequency again, maybe back to 5910 or 5985; 6015 and 6140 other alternatives registered by JIC MIC in HFCC from Yamata, JAPAN (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KOREA SOUTH [and non]. 4450, Dec 15 at 1325 YL singing, with buzz jamming, // 3480 where no jamming audible, but local noise level remains hi. Am lucky to pull anything thru it on either: V. of the People, clandestine from South to North (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ROMANIA. 17530, Dec 15 at 1342, // slightly weaker 15460, RRI with folk music, German announcements. Despite VG signals and modulation levels, there is something amiss with sort of a ringing sound artifact, especially noticeable on the sidebands of each, evidently a defect in the studio-transmitter-link program feed to Tiganeshti (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 9460, Dec 15 at 1420 I can barely make out the unmistakable rasp of Brother Scare on weak signal amid QRM; HFCC shows 100 kW, 300 degrees via Wertachtal, GERMANY at 14-16, altho TOM`s own schedule claims: ``UK 9460 Europe 10 Am-11 am Daily``.

17580, Dec 15 at 1509 there is BS again, better signal here, strangely running one second ahead of // 9385 WWRB. HFCC shows this as 14-16, 100 kW, 165 degrees plus another 100 kW at 180 degrees, both from Wertachtal, while TOM sked claims: ``EUROPE 17580 Europe 11 Am-Noon Daily``. The 165 transmission is noted ``afly`` in HFCC, while the 180 is ``342``, whatever those mean (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TAIWAN. 7580, Dec 15 at 1320, YL with 8 tonal syllables, separated by pauses. Aoki shows it`s XingXing guanbgo diantai with ``random numbers`` at 1300-1330 in H3E mode, 10 kW nondirexional from Kuanyin site; other half-hour broadcasts from same at 0500, 0600, and 1200. All these miss colliding with VOK`s Japanese service at 0700-1250, except the one at 1200. XingXing means StarStar. If the numbers are really random, the whole thing is pointless, disinformation. More likely they are not random, coded with some hidden significance.

Aoki also shows the 07 and 08 broadcasts are on 7688; at 02 and 03 on 9557; at 04 on 9570; at 09 and 1330 on 7553. H3E means single sideband, full carrier, but which? I did not notice one side was missing (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TAIWAN [non]. 6890, Dec 15 at 0422, RTI via WYFR is in Chinese, not scheduled Spanish, and is // much stronger 6875, another long-running screwup in relay scheduling, as apparently they can only feed one language at a time (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1595 monitoring: Dec 15 at 0500 check, 9955 is nothing but jamming, so it`s safe to assume that the first airing of WOR, on WRMI at 0430 UT Thursday, was also inaudible. Tnx a lot, Arnie! Further WRMI SW broadcasts are: Fri 0600, Sat 0900, 1600, 1830, Sun 0900, 1630, 1830, Mon 1230, plus many more webcasts.

On WTWW: Thursday 2200 on 9479, UT Sunday 0500 on 5755
On WBCQ: Thursday 2230 on 7490
On WWRB: UT Friday 0430v on 3195, 5050
On HLR: Tuesday 1030 on 5980
Also on WRN via SiriusXM 120 to NAm: Sat & Sun 1830, Sun 0930
Full schedule at http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 11520, Dec 15 at 0503, WEWN English is the strongest signal on band (SSOB), and enough to bring with it the squeal and spur field peaking plus and minus 9 kHz; Second SSOB was its Spanish on 11870 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

#--------------------------------------------------------------------#
# SIDC Weekly bulletin on Solar and Geomagnetic activity            #
#--------------------------------------------------------------------#
WEEK 571 from 2011 Dec 05 

SOLAR ACTIVITY
--------------
Solar activity was low with only a few C flares (GOES X-ray
background at B level). There were up to 10 active regions
present on the solar disk early in the week. The main active
region was Catania#66 (NOAA 11363), of type Dki with a Beta-
Gamma magnetic configuration. This region decayed over the
second half of the week.
No low-latitude coronal hole was seen on the solar disk. The only
noteworthy event was the eruption of a large filament in the NE
quadrant of the solar disk on Dec.11, around 6:00UT.

GEOMAGNETIC ACTIVITY
--------------------
During the first 4 days of the week, the solar wind speed
remained below 400 km/s with a weak interplanetary magnetic
field. This led to very quiet geomagnetic conditions.
On Dec.9, the entrance in a new heliospheric sector brought a
slight increase of the interplanetary magnetic field and of
solar wind speed (450 km/s). This induced unsettled conditions
during the last 3 days of the week.

Glenn Hauser logs December 13-14, 2011

** ALBANIA. 5985, Dec 14 at 0620, poor signal with songs, Arabic comments interspersed, from what? Clues at 0626, mentions Turkey, RMB, 0632 Xinhua, ID starting with ``Idha`at``. Then it dawns on me it must be CRI // 7210 via Albania, then confirmed, tho the music did not strike me as Chinese at all. Both are 150 kW, 240 degrees from Cërrik at 05-07. At 0632 there was already QRM from adjacent DentroCuban pulse jamming on 5980, gradually ramping up before R. Martí starts at 0700 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ANGUILLA [non]. 6090, Dec 14 at 0635, Caribbean Beacon is off, uncovering usual het between presumed Nigeria and Brasil, still no chance for the Uruguayan reported testing recently but unlikely to be on at this hour anyway. CB 11775 back on at 1355 check with DGS (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BULGARIA. 7400, Dec 14 at 0604, strong open carrier, some very weak modulation underneath it, then the carrier cuts off. YL talking, bits of Bach, 0610 Beethoven theme opening another program. Nothing but R. Bulgaria scheduled, and here`s what must be happening:

Aoki and EiBi show daily at 0600-0630 R. Bulgaria in Turkish, 170 kW, 126 degrees from Plovdiv; 0630-0700 German, 170 kW, 306 degrees. As we already know, RB kilowastes kilowatts turning on its transmitter long before scheduled German at 0630 (and indeed it was back on by 0620 if not sooner). So R. Bulgaria was interfering with itself, two transmitters on from same site, aiming exactly opposite direxions, Bulgarians vs Bulgarians! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. Firedrake Dec 14, before 1400: NONE found 7-18 MHz at 1356-1400. Has there really been a drastic reduxion in this jamming, or is it just propagation? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA [and non]. 15380, Dec 14 at 1404, RHC has CCI in unknown language producing rippling (rather rapid) SAH (subaudible heterodyne). Must be BSKSA Arabic, scheduled in HFCC only at 12-14, 310 degrees from Riyadh, to CIRAF 39N, i.e. Turkey, but 500 kW carrying on far beyond. Aoki shows HQS rather until 1355, apparently running this transmitter overtime (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** FRANCE [and non]. 7220, Dec 14 at 0601, English news about Liège.
 5925, Dec 14 at 0618, RFI French news, much stronger than // 7390.
17690 via GUIANA FRENCH, Dec 14 at 1401, RFI Spanish news; 17620 and 15300 with French news. So no RFI Musique fill heard at any of these chex, but that does not necessarily mean the strike is over (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ITALY. 7165-LSB, Dec 14 at 0555, bigsig from ham speaking English in very strange accent I could not place. Mentioned KL7 so thought maybe Inuit, but that must have been a contact; finally ID as I2VRN. QRZ.com shows:
ROBERTO VERANI
VIA PAGLIARI BIVIO 6
I-26049 STAGNO LOMBARDO, CREMONA
Italy
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 89.5 stereo FM carrier: I have continued to hear this whenever I am driving around in Enid, strongest on the west side of town. One midday it was stronger around the First Assembly of God church at the intersexion of Oakwood and Chestnut, but I could not pinpoint it there for sure.

Then in the evening, UT December 13 around 0050 UT on the caradio, the carrier now has Xmas rock music, weakening as I drive to the east side of Enid. Following night December 14 it is on again around 0020 UT, strengthening toward the west side. Probably starts modulating somewhat before sunset and on into the evenings, but never turns off the transmitter, poor operating procedure. This thing covers half of Enid, so it`s got to be more than Part 15.

Searching DXLDs, last year an Xmas lite show at a residence in W Enid was broadcasting music to go with it, but that was on 99.7. See DXLD 10-51, and also 10-52, when we were also getting something on 89.5.

Location of the lite show then was Dick Yuhnke, 5701 Pheasant Run Drive. If there is nothing in this year`s Eagles about it, will go there to check if that`s where 89.5 is now coming from. 99.7 is not a clear frequency now with KZLS site change (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 88.3, Dec 14 around 2000 UT, the YFR satellator is back on, dominating the channel in Enid (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PHILIPPINES. 9555, Dec 14 at 1408, VOA Korean is hummy and undermodulated. Same Tinang-2 transmitter is already on 9760 when I tune at 1502, much stronger but also undermodulated and hum during English news (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** RUSSIA. 9840, Dec 14 at 0553, roughly equal mix between VOR English to WNAm via Pet/Kam, and R. Rossii via circa-Moskva site, so nothing has been done about this self-collision until 0600 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 6875, Dec 14 at 0613, RTI German relay instead of Spanish, Chinese talk mixed in to translate. Also very weak // signals on 6750 and 7000. Not sure if these are transmitted spurs, or caused by receiver overload from extremely strong fundamental, but I can`t figure why they would show up at +/- 125 kHz in either case (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [non]. 7290, Dec 14 at 0558, thought I heard ``QSL card`` mentioned in unknown language, an AM ham? No, a broadcaster, and at 0559 ``The Voice of America`` jingle in English, sign-off from ``Washington``. It`s really Kurdish, 100 kW, 105 degrees via Biblis, GERMANY at 05-06 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 890, Dec 14 at 1331 UT, just before LSR, in null of KTLR OKC, promo for employment@kggn.com in Kansas City, other ads; seems religious. NRC AM Log 2011-2012 shows KGGN as a 960-watt direxional daytimer, COL Gladstone MO, ``Great Gospel Radio``. FCC pattern plot shows two-tower broad cardioid peaking 250 degrees with null toward WLS, no protexion for OKC. Seems vaguely familiar: yes, I did log it 12.6 months ago as in DXLD 10-48 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. TP carrier search Dec 14 at 1335-1339 UT circa local sunrise. Extremely weak JBA ones detected on: 774, 792, 828, 882, 1008, 1422, 1494, 1566 (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Glenn Hauser logs December 12-13, 2011

** BOTSWANA. 17715, Dec 13 at 1453, Amerenglish with heavy flutter on audio and frequency wobbling by Doppler. Scheduled as VOA at 14-15, 100 kW, 350 degrees, to shift to 10 degrees at 15-16 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA [and non]. 9785, Dec 13 at 1501, `China Drive` is opening, underneath a stronger carrier with hum, but clear by 1503. VOA Chinese during the previous hour via Tinang, PHILIPPINES, q.v. was a bit slow to turn off the carrier, tsk2; also jammed per Aoki. CRI 9785 is Jinhua site at 264 degrees (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) 

** CUBA [and non]. 13640, Dec 12 at 1947 check, huge collision between roughly equal bigsigs from RHC and AIR, both broadcasting to Europe in French, as has been the case since Nov 7 frequency changes by RHC. Both are outlaw stations, refusing to participate in HFCC, so serves them right for not coördinating, but pity the poor listeners in Europe. I suspect the 500 kW, 300 degrees from Bangaluru have the advantage in Europe. Aoki claims the French segment from RHC at 1930-2000 is 100 kW, nondirexional, while Portuguese and Arabic after 2000 are on 53 degrees. How much longer will this go on? Both stations are obstinate, and we know Arnie doesn`t ever want to admit he made a mistake. Reports, please, from Europe on how the mix is over there at 1930-2030 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** EQUATORIAL GUINEA [non]. Cf previous report under SOUTH CAROLINA [non] --- 15190, checking for any signal from R. Africa, at the times Brother Scare thinx he is on the air, to E Africa, Monday at ``3-4 pm``, probably meaning EDT or EST: no sign of it Monday Dec 12 at several chex, circa 1855, 1947, 2050, 2110 UT. Only extremely weak carrier, probably Brasil at some points, or before 1930 Philippines. Meanwhile, Ascension with YFR on 15195 at 20-22 had its usual good signal, with flutter, and it`s in the same neighborhood as Equatorial Guinea. If Brother Scare is really paying for airtime on ``R. Africa``, he`s wasting his money, or rather that of the suckers who support him (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** FRANCE [and non]. RFI strike situation check Dec 13:
 9765, Dec 13 at 0635, fair with news in English
17690, Dec 13 at 1417 via GUIANA FRENCH, Spanish with history of French space programme; also some ``generator hum``
17620, Dec 13 at 1419, French talk, not musique

Latest update from Mike Cooper Dec 12: ``Workers at RFI on Monday decided "to suspend and not to stop the strike" begun on November 28, according to a statement posted at RFIRiposte. "Other actions are being out in place. The mobilization of workers against the merger of RFI and France 24 is intact," the statement said. Monday morning, union officials delivered a letter to the office of Prime Minister Francois Fillon asking that he block the merger. "Today, the ball is in the court of the Prime Minister," unions said.

A French-language AFP story about RFI on Monday said that, even though
its worldwide audience has declined from 44 million in 2004 to 35.6
million in 2008, it is popular in France with 26 million listeners.
The AFP story added that as much as 80 percent of RFI's programming
has been replaced by music during the strike.``

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KOREA NORTH. 9335, Dec 13 at 1359 open carrier from VOK, except the sound of N. Korean jamming is clearly heard, mixture at same Kujang transmitter site. That`s noise with an oscillating/pulsing sound added. 1400 VOK IS, French sign-on, anthem, with jamming still audible underneath (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KURDISTAN [non]. 11530, Dec 13 at 1410, fair signal from V. of Mesopotamia with Kurdish music via UKRAINE; by 1458 it had faded to JBA. Media Network had a story on the PKK Dec 8; we always have to point out that VOM is brought to us by the same `terrorists` who run Roj TV:

``The PKK is considered a terrorist group by Turkey, the US and the European Union. Its members are fighting for autonomy in Turkey's southeast, a conflict that has killed tens of thousands of people since 1984. Roj TV has a Danish broadcasting license, but has no studios in Denmark.`` Read more from Today's Zaman:http://www.todayszaman.com/news-265129-danish-prosecutors-say-roj-tv-voice-of-pkk-should-be-banned.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MAURITANIA [and non]. 7245, Dec 13 at 0638, IGIM is on and chanting vs adjacent Vatican mass on 7250 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MONACO [non]. 5910, Dec 13 at 0644, TWR music-box IS, 0645 Polish. Cannot hear a het or anything from Alcaraván Radio, Colombia, which many nites at other times has the frequency to itself. HFCC has TWR on 5910 only at 0645-0700, 100 kW, 55 degrees from Wertachtal, GERMANY.

At 0650 checked 7225, same YL speaking, but not //. Finally figured out that 7225 was running about 20 seconds ahead of 5910, so different playouts of same program? Separation became more obvious when music started at 0653. HFCC shows 7225 is 100 kW, 300 degrees from Moosbrunn, AUSTRIA at 0644-0659. Are the registered times one minute apart trying to indicate that they are really 20+ seconds apart? In A-11 the lower channel was on 5915 and the higher on 7220, plus Czech at 0600-0615, both from `MCO` = Fontbonne, France, but not any more (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 91.7, Tuesday Dec 13 at 1430 UT as I turn on the breakfast table radio, quite by chance catch another monthly `The Living Room` show on KOSU, pre-empting the final semihour of NPR `Morning Edition`. Gerry Bonds is interviewing a Mideast expert from UCO in the first half, and Moslem/Christian women from Tulsa in the second half, who get together and enjoy each other`s company, Jews and agnostix also welcome. See our previous report on this in DXLD 11-45, when it was heard at same time Tuesday Nov 8 --- so seems to be scheduled on the second Tuesday of each month (plus a couple of earlier times) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PHILIPPINES. 9760, Dec 13 at 1500, where is VOA English news? Finally at 1502, transmitter cuts on and off quickly multiple times during news, finally stays on, but undermodulated and with hum, as also heard last few days. No other carrier on frequency, so this Tinang unit is obviously ailing, presumably the #2 transmitter, 250 kW at 21 degrees USward, also used on 9555 in Korean at 12-15 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** RUSSIA. 9840, Dec 13 at 0634, poor signal from something, presumably R. Rossii, Moscow site, which was absent 24 hours earlier tho propagation was obviously funxioning from that same area on 9996. Still need to check before 0600 on the collision with VOR English from Pet/Kam to WNAm also on 9840, as which one dominates from night to night varies greatly (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TAIWAN [non]. 6875, Dec 13 at 0640, RTI via WYFR still in German instead of Spanish, but explaining Chinese song lyrix and then playing the song; usual huge signal aimed Mexicoward (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9330-CUSB, Dec 13 at 0635, not only no modulation, but no signal from WBCQ, despite Cairo-9305, Bulgaria-9400, BBC-9410 audible, and good signal from WTJC-9370. But at 0704 recheck, WBCQ is back on 9330 with GFRN, and stronger than 9370 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 7295, Dec 13 at 0639, AM signal here not a broadcaster but a ham, with test counts, quick ID sounded like WB3TM or WB3TL but no hits for either on QRZ.com or ARRL.org. Please use fonetix? Algeria AM via France is currently on 7295 only at 05-06, to be extended to -07 from Feb 26 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
