Glenn Hauser logs June 5-6, 2012

** CANADA [and non]. Since the NHK relay at 0500 on 6110 has been missing since May 31, still absent June 6, I check whether any of the RCI frequencies are missing too from Sackville, June 5:

At 1957, 17735 is on in French making SAH with Tunisia in Arabic; but nothing on the only listed // 15235; however it might have just closed early.
*1959, 15235 does come on with RCI in English, joined a few sex later by 15330 with `The Link` intro already in progress, into news; both these are stronger than // 17735 which continues (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. Firedrake June 6 after 1220:
12230, poor at 1223
13920, very poor at 1226
13980, good at 1226
14700, poor at 1226
15970, very poor at 1229; none in the 16s, 17s

Before 1300:
15550, very poor at 1248; het on hi side
11500, poor at 1252

After 1400:
17570, poor at 1415
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** FIJI [non]. Domo I Viti, the new clandestine, has put up info on their website about DX reports received plus much, much more on their movement:
http://sites.google.com/site/fijidemocracyfreedommovement/

At the top also says the it`s a full hour, 8:30-9:30 pm Fiji time Mondays, which it certainly was not on June 4, off at 0900*. Nor was it ``direct from Australia`` but very INDIRECTLY via South Carolina. They are not claiming here that it was Palau, altho Steve Handler says that is what they are telling him. Even the originators are confused, but WRN Broadcast has confirmed to me it`s really via WHRI in South Carolina. FD&FM no doubt sends their audio file to South Bend and have no idea what really happens to it once in the hands of LeSEA.

Combined clip of my reception on 11565 at 0831 UT June 4, which happens to last 8:31 minutes, the first half the opening, second half (mostly music) the closing. No English except for mentions of Fiji Democracy and Freedom Movement:
http://www.w4uvh.net/fijiviti.rm
The first minute or so is also amid WORLD OF RADIO 1620
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** FRANCE [non]. 21690, June 6 at 1231, RFI with world news in French, now reduced to only one hour, and currently via GUIANA FRENCH at 75 degrees to W Africa, good signal tho we are way off-beam. Yet it`s virtually the OSOB, with but a trace of 21780 DW/Rwanda also in French even tho beamed USward at 295 degrees. From Sept 2, this broadcast is scheduled to switch to Issoudun site within France. Mike Cooper reports the controversial merger of RFI with TV services is being reconsidered by the new government (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GUAM. 15240, June 6 at 1312, fair signal with S Asian ballad much preferable to the blather from Cuba 15230; 1315 ``Namaskar``, mentions Agana (not Agaña), Guam and KTWR IS twice; opens another program with ``Salaam Aleikum``. Thus the first is Hindi-influenced, and the second is Arabic-influenced, which fits for the listed transition from Santhali to Bengali (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** JAPAN [non]. 6110, NHK English via CANADA is still absent June 6 at 0514 check, but still going for the only remaining broadcast to North America, 1210 on 6120 with fair and fading signal during news (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. Sporadic E analog TV DX UT June 6:

0226 on 2, turn on TV to find heavy CCI in progress, peaking SSW in Spanish

0227 on 3, NEXTEL presenta ---

0230 on 3, drama on video with net-5 bug; audio from something else

0237, MUF reaches 4, and then 5 with some ads from south

0238 on 2 and 3, net 5 drama, audio slightly out of synch

0243 on 5, promo or political ad? By kid, ``Nuestro México del Futuro`` on screen; looked like another word below that was COLIMA. I wish I could be certain of that as this small state should be a TVDX rarity with only a handful of less than full-power stations including this ch 5 per W9WI.com in the city of Colima with appropriate calls:
Colima, CY[5] XHCC-TV 14.000 0.00 +H 19-5-14.00N 104-18-0.00W XV-XLIC XHGC (5)
http://www.w9wi.com/states/CY.html

0258 on 6, signs of video here, the MUF peak

0300, opening is mostly gone

1419, turn on the TV again, and ch 2 is bearing two zero-beat videos from the SSE, audio in Spanish, no doubt the Yucatán peninsula again. The dominant one has the f = FOROtv program, so that`s XHY-TV in Mérida. Fading by 1430, brief resurgence at 1440, nothing more.

The other: probably the next ch 2 east, 100 kW XHQRO-TV in Cancún, Quintana Roo, about 175 miles away. I would hate to be midway between the cities trying to get either channel 2 without interference. XHY-TV is listed as less, only 76.5 kW, yet is seen far more regularly (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NIGERIA [non]. 15120, June 6 at 0506, no sign of V of Nigeria, just Chinese. The two-night streak is broken. VOA Botswana is in well on 15580, so propagation is not to blame (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 13570, June 6 at 1203, there`s Alex Scourby bibling, on dead giveaway frequency of WINB with its wobbly carrier, and at 1224 Brother Scare is pontificating about the total destruxion of Florida and the east coast this year. BS has been on WINB periodically before, so once again they have won the prize of this cash cow, but for how long? At this hour, a US outlet is sorely needed as not on WWCR, and WWRB is inaudible on 3185 if really on the air.

Has the WINB program schedule at http://www.winb.com/schedule.htm been updated to show this? Of course not! Dated May 20, still shows it not on the air M-F until 1530 UT. But the Overcomer Ministry website does have this entry: WINB 13570 8-10:30 AM EST --- meaning EDT, meaning 1200-1430 UT; or is it really until 1530 UT? Yes, BS still going on 13570 at 1511 check.

Meanwhile, I was waiting for WWRB to bring up 9385, which happened abruptly at *1239 today, the QSY time from 3185 varying widely. And then found that 13570 was running 25 seconds behind 9385. Now it`s redundant (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SPAIN [non]. 11815, June 6 at 1259, NHK ID in Japanese accompanied by, what else? steel drums. Accurate time signal to 1300 ends just as co-channel REE via COSTA RICA is starting its always-delayed and thus totally erroneous timesignal. Don`t rely on that for navigation or you may crash into a reef or a mountain! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** THAILAND. 9890, June 6 at 1213, R. Thailand in English outroing some other language, listed as Malay, 1214 bells IS until 1215*. Scheduled for a 15-minute break before resuming in English at 1230, not checked. VOA GB Spanish 9885 was sufficient but not strong enough to be a problem (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9370-, June 6, the POS transmitter at WTJC is out of whack again: very distorted and breaking up, but no spurs audible yet.

At 1220, now spreading 9350-9395, with distortion, squeals, cutting on and off depending on fundamental modulation (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7555, June 6 at 0512 check, the sporadic WEWN transmitter in Spanish is back on tonight, also heard around 1230 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7570, June 6 at 0512, RTI in Spanish via WYFR is not overtime tonight, unlike 24 hours earlier (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. 11535, June 6 at 1253, Bible story only in slow English, then some harp music, and Chinese announcement 1256-1257*. It`s YFR, 100 kW, 342 degrees from Paochung, TAIWAN site per Aoki at 1200-1257 only; and bothered by slush circa 11538 from the 2 x 9 kHz spur above 11520 WEWN English but which also closed at 1257*. As the latter was retuning its spurs from 11502, 11511, 11529, 11538, to 15597, 15606, 15624, 15633 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1620: ready early UT Wednesday June 6, so first SW airing should be UT Thursday 0330 on WRMI 9955; then Sat 0800, 1500, 1730, Sun 0800, 1530, 1730, Mon 0500, 1130.

On WTWW: Thu 2100 on 9479, UT Sun 0400 on 5755
On WWRB: UT Fri 0330v on 5050
On WBCQ Area 51: UT Sat 0130v on 5110v-CUSB/LSB
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** VATICAN [non]. 13730, June 6 at 1204, Vatican Radio relay via CANADA in English hasn`t been canceled yet in seemingly objective newscast about killing Al-Libi, from stringer Priscilla somebody ``in Washington for Vatican Radio`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Glenn Hauser logs June 5, 2012

** CANADA [and non]. 6110, June 5 at 0500, strains of ``Sakura`` raise faint hope that NHK World Radio Japan English relay is back in business --- but it`s only faint overload from the NHK Spanish service starting on 6080 via BONAIRE, removed from 6110 by attenuation.

Need to check whether any scheduled Sackville frequencies are missing from other transmissions, such as RCI:
19-20 15235 17735 French
20-21 15235 15330 17735 English
21-22 15235 15330 17735 French
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. Firedrake June 5, before 1400:
16980, good at 1339 but very rapid flutter and Doppler; none in 17s
15970, fair at 1340, same flutter, surely same site
15490, JBA at 1344, het on lo side
14700, JBA at 1345
13920, very poor at 1345, none in the 12s
11500, JBA? At 1347; not certain it was not VOR music
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** FIJI [non]. 11565, 0830-0900 June 4: WRN Broadcast confirms that Domo I Viti, the new clandestine from Adelaide, was transmitted from WHRI Cypress Creek SC USA, not Palau as originally planned. Note that it`s Mondays only: next chances June 11, 18, 25, etc. A clip of my reception will be on WORLD OF RADIO 1620 and eventually at
http://www.w4uvh.net/fijiviti.rm
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GREECE. 15650, June 5 at 1342, poor signal with music. Greece must be on much earlier than curtailed *1400 schedule, altho it often starts a few minutes earlier. Yes, announcement following sounds Greek. 1427 recheck has faded to a JBA carrier in disturbed propagation, K=4 by 15. Nothing but Greece scheduled around this time (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** JAPAN [non]. See CANADA

** MEXICO. 6185, June 5 at 0457, XEPPM again heard with good modulation on fair signal with summer storm static; a novelty song, weak het from 6190, presumably BBC via South Africa, replaced by huge het from CRI via Sackville cutting on a dekasecond before 0600. XEPPM stayed on a bit longer, music at 0504, but gone a few minutes later.

Julián Santiago there in the DF says R. Educación is still operating from *1400 until 0500, all-day instead of all-night when it would propagate and have little QRM after 0600, as he continues lobbying them to resume (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NIGERIA. 15120, June 5 at 0456, VON on the air for the second day in a row! Reception not as good as 23 hours earlier, some CCI underneath, and still with the self-defeating whine (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TAIWAN [non]. 7570, June 5 at 0506 after finding WEWN absent from 7555 [see U S A], I am surprised to hear something here in Spanish. Since they are talking about Kuomintang and Taiwán and Japón, and mentioning tonal Chinese names, it`s obviously RTI via WYFR, which is supposed to be on 7570 only at 0400-0500.

Recheck at 0520, it`s gone. WYFR not only didn`t get the transmitter turned off at 0500 but somehow got the RTI Spanish program to replay for modulation. Meanwhile, 5950 was in proper RTI language tonight, English instead of Chinese (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7555, June 5 at 0506, WEWN, R. Católica Mundial is missing again from its all-night frequency; still going on 11870 in Spanish, 11520 in English. 7555 still absent at last check 0520 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9370, June 5 at 0512, WTJC is very distorted, but no spurs heard, maybe because it`s just not strong enough to audiblize them. Same situation at 1252, presumably such all-night and beyond, unlistenable hymnody, surely even for the highly motivated fundamentalist, let alone for the rational (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [non]. 17605, June 5 at 1337, Burmese from YFR has good signal previously correlated with confirmed substitute site KCH = Kichinov, Moldova = Grigoriopol, Pridnestrovye = Transnistria --- rather than originally scheduled TAC = Tachkent = Tashkent, Uzbekistan, which transmitter is apparently still down for maintenance. Higher latitude paths were generally attenuated or absent. WWV says the K-index grew from 2 at 12, to 4 at 15 UT (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also TAIWAN [non]

Glenn Hauser logs June 4, 2012

** BRAZIL. 15191.5, June 4 at 0536, Brazilian music is fading in and completely out, on giveaway offset frequency of R. Inconfidência, as I was looking for R. Africa, Equatorial Guinea, which is sometimes on the 15190 air this early, but no sign of it despite good African reception elsewhere on 19m. Bothered by splash from N. Korea in Spanish on 15180. ZY about gone by 0548, but still no Africa at 0600. At 0602 I am hearing a weak fuzzy carrier cutting on and off, but decide it`s a local image from VHF 2-way FM.

11780, June 4 at 0540, RNA is on here but not 6180, nor at 0607. On 11765 wacky wailing gospel huxter Davi Miranda is also audible much more weakly at 0540, but no other 25m ZYs (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CANADA. 6110, June 4 at 0528, NHK R. Japan English relay checked just before it would have signed off, and it`s still missing. Why?? It could be on some wrong frequency by mistake, but I haven`t found any, certainly not anywhere on the 49m band. Maybe they are erroneously feeding it into a dummy load?

6045, June 4 at 0601, KBS World Radio relay in Spanish has started, bothered by same audio artifacts we usually hear on the 9650 English relay at 12-13. Juan Franco Crespo in Spain says the 6045 broadcast 24 hours earlier on June 3 was in English instead of Spanish, an anomaly I have yet to witness (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. Firedrake June 4, before 1400:
16100, very poor with flutter at 1345
15490, JBA at 1346, het on lo side
14700, poor at 1347. No others above or below, in continuing depressed propagation conditions (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** FIJI [non]. 11565, June 4 at 0829, I am alarmed to wake up and start the tape on pre-tuned frequency for much-anticipated new clandestine, Domo I Viti, which per WRN Broadcast would start today, Mondays only at 0830-0900 via Palau.

Amazingly strong signal to be Palau, immediately raising doubts about the site. Surely it`s really WHRI in South Carolina, which after all is the station registered in HFCC at this time, not WHR`s T8WH. First hearing closing of gospel huxter in English, Voice of Praise, from Clinton TN, then PSA for WorldVision.org vis AIDS in Africa. 0830 tone test, pause, and then Domo I Viti starts by 0831.

Nothing is in English except several references to Fiji Freedom & Democracy Movement, Australia. Presumably all Fijian, certainly nothing in Hindi or Tamil! Opening has talk over music until 0834 then just talk, 0836 bringing in someone on phone; 0839 host talks with music; 0842 mentions FF&DM again; 0855 ``South Seas`` sounding song. Tape ran out at 0859 but the click woke me up so heard 11565 cut off the air at 0900 sharp while the Fijian was still talking. It did start a minute late, after all.

Now, about the site: I researched all the antenna azimuths registered for WHRI, and found one of them is 245 degrees, which on another transmission is slewed +15 = 260, which happens to be the exact direxion of Suva from Cypress Creek; and 245 was already the registered azimuth from WHRI at 08-09 on 11565, so that works out just right. WHRI is more than twice as far from Suva, as Palau is, 7500 vs 3500 miles, but I expect this 250 kW transmission is just as effective as 100 kW would have been from Palau (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Thanks to our widespread advance publicity, many other DXers were listening, and all of their reports will appear in full in the next DX Listening Digest, 12-23. Some pertinent points:

Bryan Clark (Mangawhai NZ):
Glenn, I monitored the full broadcast which was entirely in the Fijian language. Frequent mentions of deposed Prime Minister Laisenia Qarase and the current PM military leader Commodore Bainimarama, as well as the current Constitutional Commission. Excellent reception here in New Zealand from opening at 0831 until abruptly cut around 0859 when I'd hoped there might be a contact given. But have traced the organisation website at
http://sites.google.com/site/fijidemocracyfreedommovement/
which is promoting the shortwave broadcast of "FDFM Radio in its first ever direct broadcast from Australia".

David Kernick, UK:
This was observed with good reception (via Global Tuners remote receiver in Sydney) on 11565 kHz from 0835 tune-in until abruptly going off air at 0859 UT, before the sign-off announcement was complete. All programming was in Fijian. It was in parallel on the WHRI Angel 2 webstream, which also had the sign-off announcement interrupted at the same point. There's a clip of the sign-off announcement at
http://www.intervalsignals.net/fji-domoiviti_040612.mp3

Takahito Akabayashi, Tokyo, Japan:
The new station was well heard in Japan at 0830-0900 UT on 11565 on June 4. The programs were all in Fijian. IDs as "Domo I Viti" were mentioned at the opening and the closing.
The URL of "Fiji Freedom and Democracy Movement" was found at http://sites.google.com/site/fijidemocracyfreedommovement/

Mailing Address: 9 Florence Terrace, Rosewater, ADELAIDE 5014
E-mail: fijidemocracy @ hotmail.com
Telephone: +61488046249

This seems to be the clandestine station to Fiji, where China supported military regime dominates.

Björn Fransson, DX-ing on the island of Gotland, Sweden:
Hi Glenn, Thanks to you I was able to listen to the new Domo I Viti broadcast from Palau on 11565 kHz. Reception was very noisy at first, but improved later on. I could listen all the halfhour to telephone conversations and interviews, mixed with short interval music. The identification ending the programme was in the clear. I found a contact address, which is fijidemocracy @ hotmail.com and I hope they will confirm my reception.

Steve Lare, Holland, MI USA:
Broadcast began just past 0830 on 11565 with opening announcements in presumed Fijian by man announcer mentioning "Domo I Viti" and "Fijian Democracy"

Broadcast consisted of talks interspersed by brief musical interludes, followed by a song at 0855 which may have some significance to their movement, then closing announcements by man at 0859 also mentioning "Domo I Viti", pulled plug while man was still speaking at 0900. Seemingly via Cypress Creek which opened in English at 0800.

Harald Kuhl:
Heard here in Germany from 0831 UT on 11565 kHz AM with a not too strong signal (SINPO 34433) with a program in a local language, mentioning several times Fiji Democracy Freedom Movement. Till 0830 there was a religious program in English on the channel.
[and he also found the website and hotmail address]
(via Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

 

** NIGERIA. 15120, Monday June 4 at 0534, VON is heard for the first time on AM in the morning since last log May 12, and checked virtually every night. S9+8 signal with big whine, obscuring bottom-of-the-barrel talk, unreadable. Better at 0545 with different audio from the studio, still a huge embarrassment, or should be (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

USA(and non)    Brother Stair in English to Asia, Australia, New Zealand:
1300-1500 on 15190 TIG 300 kW / 100 deg Daily was cancelled from June 2

Glenn Hauser logs June 3, 2012

** CANADA. Analog Es TV DX opening continued from last report, June 3 UT:

1629 on 2, promo Global News at 10 and another program at 11; still CKND-TV-2, Minnedosa, Manitoba; 1630 `Focus Manitoba` starts.

1708 on 2, `Simpsons` in and out for rest of half hour. Es continued the rest of the afternoon per maps, over much of US, but not here on analog TV, anyway.

Also monitored DTV ch 2 or 3 with nothing showing. Trouble is, many of the few active lowband US DTV stations are too close for max signals here, such as NE, IA, SD, TN, which others a bit farther from them are getting. KNOP-2 in North Platte NE was a rarity here when it was analog (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. Firedrake June 3, after 2200, when I hardly ever hear it:
16100, very poor at 2214; no others 12-18 MHz, except:
13970, poor at 2218
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 11840, June 3 at 2150, RHC music sounds like a love ballad, unless you understand the lyrix --- ode to revolutionary guns. It`s the `Formalmente Informal` show; outro says dedicated to Augusto César Sandino, who inspired the gun-toting Sandinistas (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CYPRUS. 15085-15115, June 3 at 2201, strong OTH radar pulsing maybe from here, tho spanning 30 instead of usual 25 kHz. Had been audible first at 2140 and seemed continuous rather than intermittent, altho not monitored constantly; in absence of normal VG signal on 15110 from SPAIN [q.v.]. And still audible underneath once REE cut on 3+ hours late at 2202.5 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** EGYPT. 15210.0, June 3 at 2206 poor carrier with nothing but hum audible, typical behavior of R. Cairo. Yes! Aoki shows 2030-2230 in French, 250 kW wasted, 241 degrees from Abis toward W Africa (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** FIJI [non]. 21740, June 3 at 2200, top story on R. Australia news with VG signal is Aussie aid to Fiji in hopes of encouraging transition to democracy with elexion in 2014y. In case you missed my mentions on World of Radio and in a separate post, this coincides with a new clandestine scheduled to start in a few hours:

Domo I Viti, Mondays only from June 4 at 0830-0900 on 11565 via WRN via PALAU, sponsored by the Fiji Freedom and Democracy Movement, based in Adelaide, South Australia.

If anyone can hear it, please note how much, if any is in English, contact info, and if possible record an ID. I haven`t found any website or Adelaide office (Glenn Hauser, June 3, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ISRAEL. 15850, June 3 at 2143, Galei Zahal presumed with music and shortly announcement, poor signal but better than usual, and the only thing audible above 15630 Greece in a rather vacant 19m band. Improved to fair signal at 2216 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SPAIN. It`s Sunday June 3, so REE messes up the transmission schedule we are accustomed to on weekdays.

21610 is still on the air at the late hour of 2136 with silly ballgame coverage (and much weaker than Romania in Spanish on 21510). What about 15110, which is normally inbooming at this time? Nothing there vs OTH radar pulsing. Recheck at 2159, 21610 is stronger but cut off abruptly in mid-word at 2159.5, how rude!

They must be retuning the transmitter. Yes, finally at 2202.5, 15110 pops on with usual very good signal, overriding the continuous OTH radar (see CYPRUS), but the OTHR is still audible underneath.

However, in this case, HFCC, EiBi, Aoki and the official-looking schedule posted at an unofficial site,http://programasdx.com/principal_archivos/frecuenciasreea12.pdf
all show no variations from 7 days a week:
21610 in Spanish at 11-17 to Mideast, Arabic at 17-19 and nothing later. And 15110 at 1900-2300 daily.

It`s a talk about compiling or publishing a dixionary for the Garífuna language in Honduras. Interesting, but that`s hardly big news; yes, 2205 outro as having been `En thinco minutos`, one of the pentaminute evergreen fillers REE runs when news on the hour is unavailable from the domestic service (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 17510, Sunday June 3 at 2130, on WHRI, `DXing with Cumbre` is starting promptly, #724 produced May 24, so it`s more than a week old, as Marie apologizes for missing the previous week due to ``technical problems``. Apparently missed another one this week. Furthermore, searching ``Marie Lamb`` on the WHR program schedule still comes up with numerous imaginary airtimes, not including this one which really exists, but fading down a lot in a few minutes! Instead, claims Sunday 2100 on Angel 1 17510, and Sunday 2300 on Angel 2 17510, when nothing was heard either (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 13570, June 3 at 2145, I look for WINB and hear nothing but CODAR; yes, WINB is already on 9265 where audible long before sunset. Since there`s sporadic E up to VHF over central and eastern US, maybe the second harmonic on 18530 will be audible? I have heard it before, but not now. In this summer Es season, it pays to check this and other 2 x 9 MHz frequencies of US stations if you are circa a kilomile away.

BTW, 13 MHz band was practically vacant, nothing but 13820 jamming and 13845 WWCR; lots more activity on 11 and even 15 MHz band, which was also subpar. WWV reported at 2100:

``Solar-terrestrial indices for 03 June follow.
Solar flux 129 and estimated planetary A-index 21.
The estimated planetary K-index at 2100 UTC on 03 June was 4.

Space weather for the past 24 hours has been minor.
Geomagnetic storms reaching the G1 level occurred.
Radio blackouts reaching the R1 level occurred.

Space weather for the next 24 hours is predicted to be minor.
Geomagnetic storms reaching the G1 level are likely.
Radio blackouts reaching the R1 level are likely.``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9370, June 3 at 2156, WTJC is back in whack, undermodulated during hymn rather than overmodulated producing multiple spurs. Now it`s WWCR`s turn to mess up the area, splattering 9330-9370 from the superstrong 9350 signal, and thus bothering WBCQ and WTJC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7490, June 3 at 2157, WBCQ with Marion Webster JBA in all the noise and fading, as we can forget about hearing `Marion`s Attic` until winter on this band at this timing, 21-22 UT Sundays. The 9330 transmitter was much stronger (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7505, June 3 at 0114, zero signal from WRNO, which has been off the air for more than a sesquiyear, despite claims on their Facebook to have reactivated on May 31, spotted by Rich Lewis (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. 15280, June 3 at 2209, VG signal with Spanish sermon, sounds like WYFR, and indeed same speaker is on 15440 from Okeechobee, but not //, citing different Bible chapters. O yes, 15280 is 500 kW, 215 degrees via GUIANA FRENCH at 2200-2357 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BRAZIL. 11780, June 3 at 0502, RNA is on here but not on 6180; good news anyway for 6185 MEXICO, q.v. (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CANADA. Sporadic E TV DX opening from north in English replaces Mexico [q.v.] earlier in this hour, June 3 UT:

0051 on 2, GLOBAL promo, VG video for a moment even tho antenna is S for Mexico, so rotate to north for the rest. 2 Global is surely regular CKND2 in Minnedosa, Manitoba rather than one of the east-Ontarians. Yes: 0053 some promo or ad mentioning Manitoba; 0054 news (?) item about expected worldend in Dec 2012; 0056 ``Prime News here in Winnipeg`` promo ``tonite at 10``. 0059 Carolyn James says thanks for watching; looks like a large graphic beside/behind her with numbers 16-9-2. W9WI.com shows ch 9 as the analog originator in Winnipeg, CKND, but CKND-DT is on channel 40, and no other relays. Maybe 16 is its cable channel? 0100 into a filmed drama. Is analog 9 still on the air, unlike CBWFT on 3 in Winnipeg?

CKND-TV-2 is surely Minnedosa`s greatest claim to fame, a town of 2426 north of Brandon in SW MB, chosen just as a workable drop-in site for a 100 kW relay which did not exist during my previous heyday of TVDXing.

0118 on 3, hockey in English, surely CBC as it`s Saturday night, tho never glimpsed a CBC exploding-pizza bug. Presumably one of the Sasks.

0130 on 4, some drama, also on 2 and 3 briefly.

0141 on 4, Rogers Internet ad; then Dallin furniture at Dufresne, now video only; Googling immediately found that very same commercial:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ZuGSRHs6RM
I assume it`s national, not local, but surely Canadian

Fitful skip is out by around 0215.

0255 on 2, brief fade-in drama featuring a dog show, nothing more

Next day, June 3 I start monitoring ch 2 north before 1500, but nothing shows until 1552 with a bit of talk in English. The 6m Es maps had been showing lots of activity centered around Missouri/Iowa.

1615 on 2, sudden fade-in with ad for Association of Manitoba Land Surveyors, i.e. CKND-TV-2 again, then panel discussion of the monarchy amid EIIR`s jubilee festivities in London, UK (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. Firedrake June 3:
16980, poor at 0527 mixing with ute?
Propagation degraded now and even more so around 1300, when none logged, except see TAIWAN (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CONGO. Re my last report seeking 6115 at same time: Jorge Freitas in Bahia reports: ``6115 02/Jun 0600 No signal R Congo`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** JAPAN [non]. 6110, June 3 at 0500, NHK World Radio Japan English relay via Sackville, Canada is still missing without explanation for the fourth night. I wonder if they are starting to dismantle transmitters. The 5975 relay southeastward from Woofferton UK is not audible either, but presumably on and just not propagating like it does in winter. France relay on 11970 still makes it (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KOREA NORTH. Re my unID carriers recently on 6071 hetting CFRX, Ron Howard in California confirms: ``Hi Glenn, You are correct. June 2 heard VOK clearly in Japanese, 1222-1225, with fair reception on 6071.0. By this later time I had no signal from CFRX, so I had no het to deal with. Also heard May 10 drifting around 6071.2v at 1214 with a fair signal, so not too uncommon. Ron`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 6185, June 3 at 0456, I manage to turn on and tune in XEPPM before sign-off and before CRI 6190, to find the modulation has become sufficient with ``typical Mexican music``. Sackville cut on 10 sex before 0500, causing severe ACI, but XEPPM kept going a bit longer at 0501 with poetry recitation. If there was a formal sign-off I missed it, but by 0506 there merely remained an open carrier.

Julián Santiago Díez de Bonilla in the DF coincidentally writes June 3 that XEPPM modulation has been much improved for the past week: ``Hola Glenn: desde hace una semana escucho con mucho mejor modulación a XEPPM en los 6185 kHz. Saludos, Julián``. We must treasure R. Educación as México`s last remaining SW station, and a fine one too (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. Following the sporadic E analog TVDX opening from Tijuana and Mexicali earlier on June 2 until 2017 UT or so, the MUF revives at 2300:

2300 on 2, fade-in cycling coverage, CCI

2300 on 3, Televisa Deportes, peaks SW, and bug in UR has Grupo Pacífico logo of italic 3 in an oval, i.e. XHQ-TV, Culiacán, Sinaloa as illustrated here, also with stylized seagull:
http://tvdxtips.com/mexlogosch3.html

2300 on 4, signs of video

UT June 3:

0003 on 4, seVale program bug in LR (with the V like a check mark), game show involving someone in a wheelbarrow, whee! = carretilla, says my dixionary as I seldom need to say that word in Spanish

At 0051 English on 2 from Global, so switch to CANADA, q.v. (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TAIWAN. 14600, June 3 at 1300 in a fitful Firedrake scan, instead heard Chinese talk, very poor with flutter here during degraded propagation, perhaps really Sound of Hope rather than substitute CNR1 jamming --- its known frequencies were too weak to compare. WWV reported K index at 1200 was merely 2, and no space weather storms (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1619 monitoring: UT Sunday June 3 at 0400 on WTWW 5755: starts playing WOR opening but forgot to insert ID first, so interrupted for that, then resumed before I started listing the countries to be covered. Normally on WTWW, SFAW is interrupted for hourtop ID, then a few sex more of that before starting WOR.

Remaining repeats on WRMI 9955: Sunday 1730, Monday 0500, 1130; on HLR Germany 5980: Tuesday 0930. On WRN via SiriusXM 120: Sunday 1730 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9322-9434, June 3 at 0509, WTJC is out of whack again, very overmodulated and distorted on fundamental 9370 and squeezing out extremely distorted spurs at multiples of approx. 16 kHz above and below, circa: 9322, 9338, 9354, 9386, 9402, 9418, 9434. Hard to pin down these blobs but the 9386 one seemed centered about 9386.4.

By sheer luck, WBCQ falls right between them on 9330, as does BBC on 9410! Both still unimpeded, but woe betide any other stations in the area. Next morning around 1300, poor propagation made 9370 so weak that the spurs were not audible, but if they were, 9386 would be bad for Brother Scare on WWRB 9385 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 15615, June 3 at 1310, WEWN with ``percolating`` noise entertaining us during a long pregnant pause in TV mass before priest says something in English, causing the percolating to change its rate but never stop completely (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST

UNIDENTIFIED. 11494-SSB, June 3 at 0517-0525, occasional brief voice transmissions, sounding US military, with occasional somewhat longer ``running water`` digital mode bursts. Lots of logs in UDXF of 11494 as a US Coast Guard frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BRAZIL. 11780, June 2 at 0524, RNA is on here, but still missing from 6180. What will happen UT Sunday when they both had been running all night? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. Firedrake June 2, before 0600:
15900, very poor at 0530
16100, JBA at 0542
16700, very poor at 0542
17100, very poor at 0547; none in the 14s, 13s, 12s by 0555

 9970, fair at 1136; none in the 7s, 8s, 10s
11500, poor at 1141
11970, poor at 1142

15440, fair at 1229-1230*, het on hi side; VOT must have slid up 5

** CONGO. 6115, June 2 at 0558, despite Cuba back on 6125, I try to pull something thru here on a JBA carrier. At 0600 I do hear some very weak modulation, but can`t be sure it`s really from R.Congo rather than some cross-modulation overload (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** COSTA RICA. 17800-18000, June 1 at 1923, approx. expanse of modulation peak spikes from 17850 REE Cariari relay. There are no specific spur frequencies, contrary to usual practice as carefully measured before, but just broad continuous coverage, altho the worst of it seemed to peak around 17895, and more so on the hi side of the fundamental than the lo side (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. RHC missing frequencies, transmitters down or power outage:
6125, nothing at 0514 June 2, but back on in English at 0556 check, unfortunately when I was trying 6115 again for CONGO, q.v.

11760 and 11860 absent June 2 at 1351 while weaker 11750 and 11690 from the other site remained; 11760 popped back on at 1359, and 11860 a few sex later. 15340 was also off at 1355, while weaker 15230 remained on (Glenn Hauser, OK DX LISTENING DIGET)

** EQUATORIAL GUINEA. 15190, June 2 at 0528, gospel huxter is on mentioning 2011, fair signal. At 0541, `Let the Bible Speak` has just started, with Northern Ireland address.

I am yet to ever catch any R. Africa ID on 15190 since its latest reactivation a few months ago, but Jorge Freitas in Bahia, Brasil has: they do so at morning sign-off just before 0900. Three clips so far are atop his blog athttp://www.ipernity.com/doc/75006
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GERMANY [non]. 21780, June 1 at 1944, poor signal in Luso Portuguese, i.e. for Africa, not Portugal! This is a DW RWANDA frequency in other languages, French and Hausa at 12-14 and 1800-1857, all 295 degrees and well heard here, but HFCC shows the 1930-2000 Portuguese is instead via Woofferton UK, 250 kW, 165 degrees (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GUIANA FRENCH. QSL received in p-mail June 2 from DX-ANTWERP for their 12 May specials via Montsinéry at 1400 on 17880, 1700 on 21680. Matches previous e-QSL except this one is filled in by hand and numbered 45. Also enclosed stickers of ORF, VOA and RCI, Stamp on the envelope features statue of a naked boy and what else? The Atomium (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** HAWAII [and non]. 10000, June 2 at 0516, WWV`s robofem announces the upcoming leap second for June 30 at 2359:60 UT.

15000, June 2 at 1147, WWVH with same announcement but voiced by a hu-man, concluding with ``aloha`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** JAPAN [and non]. 6110, June 2 at 0521, NHK English via CANADA missing again, as it was 48 hours earlier, not checked 24 hours earlier. What`s going on at Sackville? Again the other relays are nominal on 6020, 6190, 9555.

I could still hear R. Japan on 11970 via FRANCE, and listened to the announcement at 0529-0530* --- they have so few frequency-semihours left in English that they can proclaim their entire English schedule in less than a minute (altho skipping site info) --- and 6110 is still included for the 0500. HFCC A-12 as of June 1 still lists it thru October 28.

Program this UT Saturday was `Let`s Sing in Japanese` as outroed at 0528 until return in July, so apparently monthly on first Sat; after a performance by the Radio Japan Choir. At 0523 I was hearing the same song on 6080, the Spanish service via Bonaire, and at least part of the lyrix sounded English to me.

6090, June 2 at 1129* shortly after I intune to children singing on fair signal, cuts off the air. HFCC shows it must have been NHK Yamata in Russian, as they are making a beam switch from 330 to 290 and language switch to Korean (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MALI. 5995, June 2 at 0557, open carrier but much weaker than yesterday, presumed ORTM, while I concentrate on CONGO 6115 instead (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MAURITANIA. 7245, June 2 at 0602, IGIM is in chanting. Must have come on in the last few minutes since previous tuneby absence (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 6185, June 2 at 0513, fairly good open carrier aside CRI Sackville 6190. Presumably XEPPM is slow to turn off the transmitter after 0500*. I am seldom tuning before 0500 to evaluate how their modulation is doing now (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. Es analog TV DX June 2: I wasn`t checking earlier, but turning on the TV at 2010 UT, opening is in progress on 3, 5 and 6, peaking west, in Spanish. G7IZU map agrees showing 6m Es contacts across the SW quadrant of USA; DX Sherlock map is inaccessible.

2010 on 3, typical almost-zero beat bars between the two BCN stations which should never have been allowed on same channel so close together as Mexicali and Tijuana. And as usual, XHBC Mexicali is dominant over XHTJB Tijuana. 2014, major league béisbol game in English is being voiced-over, just ending, Boston Red Sox vs Toronto Blue Jays. They say the next ``Sábado Grandes Ligas`` will be 30 de Junio (on this network anyway; maybe there is a net-5 bug in upper right). 2016 Televisa Mexicali animated ID.

2010 on 5 is surely its usual companion, XHAQ in Mexicali.

2017 on 6, ads in Spanish, surely XETV Tijuana again which is no longer Anglo in analog.

Nothing was very strong except peak during the Televisa Mexicali ID, and it`s all gone by 2050 (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX VIEWING DIGEST)

** NETHERLANDS [non]. 17605 via VATICAN, June 2 at 1951, RNW with `Stories from the British Commonwealth`, 1956 announcing the END of ENGLISH BROADCASTS will be Friday, June 29; frequency announcement and closing this one at 1957*.

Nothing about this dark day athttp://www.rnw.nl/english/
Nor the linked LATEST NEWS ABOUT THE FUTURE OF RADIO NETHERLANDS,http://www.rnw.nl/english/category/tags-english/rnw-budget-cuts
just previous stories back to 2010y.

The BritCom seems off-topic for RNW, but this mini-series has been running since October 2010; program sitehttp://www.rnw.nl/english/radioprogramme/commonwealth-story
ends with March 2011, including today`s episode originally 28 Dec 2010 and in current weekly previews: ``Thembi's Bicycle, by Rachel Tucker (South Africa). A grandmother's gambling dreams. Read by Jack Klaff. First airing: Tuesday 01:50 UTC`` Series produced by the CBA (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 27185, June 1 at 1935 UT, C&W music on CB`s calling frequency, the single one which theoretically is kept clear of prolonged contacts, let alone continuous ``broadcasts``. Signal is steady and atop various weaker ones coming and going, some of them probably skip. I soon find it`s // 88.7 KLVV Ponca City and its 98.5 Enid translator. At 1937 ID as ``My Praise FM``. At 1941 CBer totally interrupts his distorted music fill relaying a local legit, for some comment, then resumes it. Such obstruxion is often the case with 27185 around here.

Meanwhile, I also checked the new KGVV 90.5 Goltry for // to 27185, 88.7 and 98.5, but found it was delayed by 24 seconds. Looks like KLVV is using a webfeed to reach the Carrier transmitter site of KGVV. For the moment, the 90.5 transmitter is back in whack (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ROMANIA. 17760, June 2 at 0544, RRI in English, usual good signal and the absolutely clear modulation all other SW stations should strive for (tnx to Continental?): program segment is `A Challenge for the Future`` about just approved NATO anti-missile defense shield vs the Mideast (not Russia!), with Romania participating. 0549 on to `A Song for the Day`, quite upbeat, ``A Wonderful World``. 0552 `Spotlight on Europe`.

17510, June 2 at 1152, RRI about the International Radio Orchestra Festival Sept 25-29 in Bucharest in connexion with their current quiz which closes July 31. Win 7 nites in Bucharest 9/23-9/30 sponsored by the Hotel Royal Bucharest but as always, cover your own travel expenses. Good signal aimed USward now post-sunrise, // weaker 17670 aimed awayward.

15310, June 2 at 1910, settled on high-velocity rock music here, fair signal to serenade my nap, without knowing whence. A bit weaker than France 15300. Music similar to that played on Kuwait 15540 but certainly not //. It`s RRI Romanian service, into talk after about 1935 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U K [non]. 17760, June 2 at 1157 talk about Moslems in Marseilles, outro as `Heart & Soul` from BBCWS, off at 1159:30*. Was two-sesquihour broadcast via THAILAND at 25 degrees also USward, the hi-latitude path not so nocturnal near Solstice (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1619 monitoring: via Area 51 webcast, starting at 0135 UT Saturday June 2 after some music fill. Checked 5110v-CUSB at 0158, and reception was sufficient altho with summer storm static. Weaker muffled audio could also be heard on the LSB, as WBCQ does not totally suppress the opposite sideband.

Next airings: On WTWW 5755: UT Sun 0400; on WRMI 9955: Sun 0800, 1530, 1730, Mon 0500, 1130. On HLR 5980: Tue 0930. Also on WRN via SiriusXM 120: Sun 0830, 1730 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9980, June 1 at 1930, WWCR continues to provide us two gospel huxters for the price of one! Beneath Brother Scare on 9980, explaining how to get to the Tabernacle, is clearly heard Defunct Gene Scott crosstalk, and // 13845 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9955, June 2 at 0517, preacher in English, not R. Vaticano in Spanish as still appears on the WRMI program grid for UT Saturday 0500, updated May 31. I have rereminded Jeff about this. He also told me, ``The Michael Mendez Show (in English) has returned Tuesday at 8 pm ET``, i.e. UT Wednesdays 0000 when 9955 is active.

At 1328, wrapping up `En Camino` about papal travels, presumably really from R. Vaticano in disguise; no jamming, 1329 ID and 1330 English preacher.

If it`s not jamming, it`s condoned collision with another American station: 9955, June 2 at 1130, WRMI in English is about equal level with Korean, i.e. YFR via PALAU per HFCC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1550, June 2 at 1115 UT local sunrise, open carrier WSW/ENE --- likely KLFJ Springfield MO, the glorified TIS for Branson (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 6071, June 2 at 1130, again a considerable het to 6070 CFRX, and this time I can almost imagine I am hearing some Korean or Japanese, i.e. VOK off 6070 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 15755 approx., June 2 at 0533, very weak hand-keyed CW, with a very long string of Vs; long pauses; occasional very brief transmissions ending in K, but never heard a DE or any ID to copy. More VVVVVVs. This was just above but far enough away from the noisy blob circa 15748 reported recently. UDXF yg has a few hits on 15.755, e.g. Russian military logged by Bruno Casula, Italy, 2+ years ago (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Ascolti FM (ora italiana)

Venerdì 1° giugno 2012 (Rapallo-GE)
Premetto, come in altre occasioni, che quella che sto per descrivere è *una* esperienza personale, poi ciascuno è libero di mantenere le cose come individualmente stabilito. L'argomento, tanto per cambiare, è un'altra volta quello dei filtri ceramici FM sostitutivi a quelli originali, per il miglioramento della ricezione FM, ovvero di un numero maggiore di stazioni.
Questa mattina, finalmente, ho trovato in casa uno spazio - temporale e fisico - per provare la Yagi a 3 elementi autocostruita con il Satellit 500 Grundig, ma appena l'ho collegata, oltre ad allungare un po' le telescopiche rispetto all'abbinamento con la DE1103 mi sono accorto - sintonizzandomi su 91.350 di Radio Italia 1 Party (tx Monte Moro-CN) vicina a Radio Aldebaran su 91.300 (tx Lavagna-S. Giulia-GE) - che la resa audio era piuttosto brutta, nonostante l'utilizzo di filtri già più larghi in confronto al passato: uno da 110 e due da 80 kHz. Numerose sono le combinazioni provate in circa 7-8 anni, comprese quelle molto strette che - chiedo scusa ai sostenitori dei quali anch'io sono stato parte - producono un audio...paperinico? Per non esagerare, l'unica via di mezzo rimaneva quella di sostituire il filtro da 80 centrale con uno da 110. Il Satellit 500, comunque lo si modifichi, proprio per la presenza nei circuiti per l'FM di tre filtri ha sempre un'ottima resa, almeno *quando i segnali sono ricevibili* perché, ne sono sempre più convinto, in assenza di questo 'piccolo' dettaglio, anche con il sistema di ricezione più raffinato e costoso secondo me non si cava un ragno dal buco.
Essenzialmente sono tre i vantaggi dei filtri stretti-ma-non-troppo di cui mi sono meravigliato: il primo è sulla comprensibilità dei segnali molto deboli, il secondo è che in caso di più segnali su una singola frequenza o molto vicini, spostandosi di poco possono essere ancora compresi o parzialmente discriminati, il terzo è che, se in dotazione, funziona meglio anche il decoder RDS esterno.
Certe volte ho letto che la scelta dei filtri FM sostitutivi è subordinata alla presenza o meno di forti segnali locali. A Rapallo, a parte il lato mare (hi!), siamo quasi *circondati* da ripetitori in FM e non a 30-50 km di distanza ma da un minimo di 500 m. - dal mio QTH fisso - ad un massimo di 3-4 km, ma l'adozione di filtri più larghi ha portato miglioramento. Piuttosto, in questo caso sì che ha importanza di più l'antenna e già con la mia Yagi telescopica rudimentale, sui canali ove ogni tanto appaiono miscugli di segnali locali, girandola un po' possono essere ridotti o persino eliminati.
Ancora un paio di cose, che magari ai più non saranno indispensabili.
-
1. I codici per distinguere i valori dei filtri FM sostitutivi, come sono riportati sui relativi componenti a meno che abbia visto male:
110 kHz - 10.7HY / 80 kHz - E10.7T / 53 kHz - E10.7V
-
2. Sulla DE1103, il filtro più largo va posizionato al posto di quello messo in orizzontale sulla destra sotto la media frequenza gialla e sul circuito stampato siglato U3, quello più stretto invece va posizionato sulla sinistra in verticale al posto di quello indicato con la sigla U2. Entrambi, tramite zoccolo (meglio!) oppure no, devono avere la parte con la sigla rivolta verso di noi, tenendo conto del ricevitore aperto in posizione diritta e frontale.
-
Sproloquio finito. QRT.

Shortwave Radio Broadcasts
from Papua New Guinea
__________________________

We ask all active shortwave listeners to help us update the World Radio TV Handbook 2013 listings for the government NBC radio stations in Papua New Guinea so that our listings are as accurate as possible.

The current listing is based on official government licencing records, information direct from stations and monitoring during 2011, but the situation in PNG is very fluid.

The government crisis there, states of emergency in some provinces, the creation of two new provinces in the past week, and general elections during June offer unusual opportunities for SW stations to broadcast longer hours, or  even restart previously silent SW transmitters.

Please tell us:
1. name of station you heard as announced
2. frequency
3. location as announced
4. any other frequencies mentioned such as an FM or MW outlet
5. any other name by which the station seems to be known
and email your reply DIRECT to us at radioheritage@gmail.com

Thanks for your help with this special request, and for helping us keep the Papua New Guinea content at the World Radio TV Handbook as accurate as possible.

Kind regards

Glenn Hauser logs May 31-June 1, 2012

** BRAZIL. 6180, June 1 at 0548, RNA is still missing, but quite good on 11780 at 0556 with Brazilian music, usual personable madrugada DJ talking about saudade (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CANADA. A little more Es analog TVDX ensued after the opening in previous report, May 31, UT:

1927 on 2, hearing a video het on the audio. Opening has moved westward and now peaking from NNW. Looks like a soap opera, brief glimpses. Intermittent video and audio QRM matching local KOFM 103.1 country music. Antenna is now pointing right thru KOFM transmitter site; altho an FM filter is installed in my antenna amp. Since it goes on and off briefly, obviously an overload/mix with some 2-way VHF transmitter in the area.

1936 on 2, NIVEA skin care ad

1956 on 3, CAA ad and another one // ch 5, CCI [Canadian Auto Ass`n]

1958 on 3, CBC `Saturday Cinema` promo. Then program has studio audience cheering, and another one with same starts at 2000

2022 on 3, promo for http://cbc.ca/video where episodes are freely available (outside Canada too? Haven`t tried).

Surely it`s one of two SK transmitters, as there are none on 3 now in MB or AB: CBKT7 in Warmley, 100 kW, more likely than further and weaker CBCP-TV-3 in Ponteix, 18.8 kW, both of which eventually repeat CBKT ch 9 in Regina (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. Firedrake June 1, before 1300, a rapid scan:
16700, very good at 1258
16100, poor at 1258
15940, very good at 1259
15900, very good at 1259
15550, good at 1259
14950, very good at 1258
14800, fair at 1258. None in the 17s, 13s, 12s
11500, fair at 1259 and earlier

After 1300:
15485, fair at 1313, het on hi side
15560, good at 1313

Before 1400:
14950, poor-fair at 1346; none in the 12s, 13s
15490, good at 1347, het on lo side; cf 15485 earlier
16980, very good at 1349
17100, poor at 1351
17250, poor at 1351
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. 17398-USB, June 1 at 1302, YL in Chinesish, sounds like a broadcast, one-way rather than two-way, but stops at 1304; after that around 1306, on & off in contacts, other side not heard, no doubt duplex. Among several other coastal stations around the world, Klingenfuss` 2002 SW Frequency Guide shows XSQ, Guangzhou Radio on 17398, and this is/was Channel 1653, QSX on 16516.0.

A recent log in the UDXF yg by Vincent Leclerc, F5OIH, agrees:
``17398.0 XSQ: CHN Guangzhou Radio 1300 SSB Chinese Maritime info 08042012 VL`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CONGO. 6115, June 1 at 0600, looking for R. Congo, Brazzaville, which has been confirmed by Jorge Freitas, Bahia, as active here sometimes around morning sign-on, but undermodulated: when MALI [q.v.] is in with good strength on 5995, all I can detect is a JBA carrier on 6115, and very much bothered by splash and overload from Cuba on 6125 which is on the air for another hour. It`ll take a lot of luck and max propagation to audiblize Congo here (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** EQUATORIAL GUINEA. 15190, June 1 at 0552, R. Africa, good signal with gospel huxter in Amerenglish alleging that Adam & Eve, humanity and everything were created six kiloyears ago. Thus faith = stupidity (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GERMANY [non]. 15595, June 1 at 1356, Farsi talk mentions ``social media``, seemingly an English term; fair signal but QRM de WEWN garbage spur on 15597 (2 x 9 kHz away from 15615). 1358 a sounder, 1359, Deutsche Welle contact info, mentions Afghanistan, Kabul, so suspect it`s really Dari, the Persian version in that country. 1400 ID and into another language, presumably Pashto.

If it`s DW, it can`t be transmitted from Germany, but I never would have guessed the transmitter site until uplooked in today`s HFCC: SINGAPORE! Says 250 kW, due northwest, at 1330-1400 in Prs [sic], 1400-1430 in Pus [sic]. Aoki agrees with me that it`s really Dari into Pashto; plus Urdu at 1430-1500 on same parameters (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** JAPAN [non]. 6120, June 1 at 1225, NHKWorld Radio Japan English via CANADA is still fairly audible despite what I said about it being 4 hours after Sackville sunrise, but 9 MHz would certainly be much better, and it is fading out at conclusion of `Radio Japan Focus`, a ``Let`s cook Japanese`` segment about ramen (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MALI. 5995, June 1 at 0549, good signal with open carrier, raising our hopes of hearing ORTM [WRTH does not show any name or ID for this in Arabic], whoever is running it at the moment. By 0556 some barely modulated strumming is heard, IS or prélude? 0558 military band with lots of stomping, presumed NA; 0559 YL in JBM French, only made out one word, ``kilohertz``. O well, carrier is half the battle (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MAURITANIA. 7245, June 1 at *0602, IGIM has just cut on with soporific morning chants in progress (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 5890, June 1 at 0535 as I tune across WWCR, Brother Scare is back talking about some of his outlets, including WTHE in Mineola, and on AM in Moscow, which I don`t find on his website list of AM stations, altho it does include:

``KTLA 690 AM Oklahoma City, OK Noon Sunday Central``
which is correct, except it`s really KTLR on 890! As in Tyler.

On SW he mentions what we know are some recently-started ARMENIA relays, without saying wherefrom, and they are still not in HFCC: 16-18 UTC on 15425, 00-03 on 15300 (??) both to India, which he says adds up to 4 hours a day. 19-22 to Europe/ME on 9400; 04-07 to Africa on 15750. He also thinx WBCQ is still on 7415. As usual, this only resembles vaguely what is on his TOM homepage, which I sic-copy here in all its illogical, jumbled, disorganized and misspelt glory:

``WWRB 3185 6 Pm-9Am Sun-Sat

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1619 monitoring: confirmed Thursday May 31 at 2100 on WTWW 9479, excellent signal. Also UT Friday June 1 starting at 0332 on WWRB 5050; before that at least a minute of dead air except for hum.

Next: UT Sat 0130v on Area 51 via WBCQ 5110v-CUSB; UT Sun 0400 on WTWW 5755. On WRMI 9955: Sat 0800, 1500, 1730; Sun 0800, 1530, 1730; Mon 0500, 1130.

The WRMI program grid has now been updated as of May 31. Jeff White says there have only been a couple of changes. No changes for WOR timings (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
