Glenn Hauser logs November 3, 2013

** CHINA. 7220, Nov 3 at 1358-1400, trying to hear CRI with REE IS, but no signal is making it from Kunming vs SSB QRhaM (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA [and non]. Firedrake, Nov 3 after 1400:
6145 audible again today at 1408, poorer signal than yesterday vs RTI. No full search for CNR1 jammers today, just:

12045, Nov 3 at 1415, CNR1 jamming vs VOA Chinese via TINIAN mixing, now scheduled this hour only. 12050 RFA Tibetan via Saipan and CNR1 end at 1400 after colliding with WEWN (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA [and non]. 6060 // 6100 // 5040, Nov 3 at 0539 in Spanish, RHC has already made un-DST one-hour timeshifts. At what exact time did it officially end on the greatest of the Antilles? Seems a bit early to me; since Cuba Revolucionaria is in lockstep with Yankee Imperialism, the end should be at 2 am local = 0600 UT.

6100 had previously closed by 0500, and 6060 and 5040 would be in English after 0500. RHC English is really on 6000 and 6125 (latter still mixed with Spain), but 6165 is off the air; unfortunately, nothing audible from CHAD or anything else. Remains to be monitored how RHC`s post-A-13 and post-DST scheduling shakes out in next few days.

4765, Nov 3 at 0544, R. Progreso is still on too. It had been at 0000-0400v, but this is almost two hours later than before; its full new schedule also yet to be determined.

RHC frequencies and programming have also shifted one hour later in the morning, Nov 3: at 1319, 9850, and 9550 are still on instead of closing at 1300, along with 9540, while 13780 and 15340 are not yet on. 9550 now has heavy QRM from CRI Vietnamese. Also on: 11690, 11750, 11760, 11860, 15230, 17580. By 1416, 13780 and 15340 are on.

At 1337, RHC is ending a tribute to Andean nations with their music, and starting `Cuba Campesina` one hour later than during summer. As expected, DX program `En Contacto` is back to its winter timing of Sundays 1435 ex-1335; starting with birthday greetings, brief salute to Radio Enciclopedia, and then repeating on popular request due to poor propagation last week, at 1439, the 5-minute War of the Worlds segment and reoffering special QSL card.

The Frecuencias page is currently blank, while they figure out what they are going to do:
http://www.radiohc.cu/interesantes/frecuencias
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** INDONESIA. 9526-, Nov 3 at 1335, VOI is still missing, altho ACI from 9530 China radio war is so heavy it`s hard to be positive there is not a weak carrier from VOI. Atsunori Ishida`s http://rri.jpn.org/
has now been updated as of Nov 3, showing 9526 last heard Oct 29, altho there is a duplicate entry showing it was not heard Oct 29 either (?) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KURDISTAN [non]. 11510, Nov 3 at 1413, Denge Kurdistan, fair signal in wailing, so this is now the mostly-music hour? Still here instead of 11600; presumably via PRIDNESTROVYE or maybe Bulgaria (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KUWAIT [and non]. 21540, Nov 3 at 1329, R. Kuwait is back on its original frequency despite co-channel Spain, after trying 21580 for four days (where it collided with France before 1300). But where will it be tomorrow? Now RK is the SSOB and Spain is BA under, as well as on 21610, 21630, the latter just ending its own collision with BBC. Meanwhile countless 13m channels go vacant (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PHILIPPINES. 9430, Nov 3 at 1409, extremely distorted FMy Chinese talk, seems centered here but spreading 9400-9445 at least. Altho it`s hard to be certain it originates from 9430, likely the FEBC service scheduled there from Bocaue at 0900-1600 daily; confirmed anyway that it`s not // 9605 CNR1 jammer vs VOA this hour. FEBC has had problems with this transmitter before (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SPAIN. 17595, Sunday Nov 3 at 1328, REE amid `Amigos de la Onda Corta` at its new 13-14 UT timing, Antonio Buitrago talking about now-antique radio set sales in the 1940s; since RHC has now moved their DX program one hour later too now, they no longer conflict (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [non]. 7520, Sunday Nov 3 at 1332, VOA `Jazz America` program ID, poor here; then found // 9640 fair, 12150 good. Applies to both Sat & Sun 13-14 UT; sites: Philippines, Philippines, Thailand. One other listed frequency is 11750 Philippines, colliding with Cuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1693 monitoring: confirmed on WTWW-1, 5830, UT Sunday Nov 3 starting at 0401:12 (from next week will be 0501v).

Thomas Völkner informs me that Hamburger Lokalradio, 7265-CUSB, is now on new antenna and the times have shifted there as WOR is being heard by Europeans: Sat & Wed 0730 and 1530 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. 5830, Nov 3 at 1316, WTWW-1 is still on here with PPP, but WTWW-2 is on neither 5085 nor 9930; probably making nominal one-hour later post-DST shifttimes for QSYs. By 1336, WTWW-3 is still not on 12105, but Burmese from Saipan is quite weak. At 1412, 9479 and 9930 are now on, and 12105 has a fair open carrier, not sure if WTWW or Saipan (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 21600, Nov 3 at 1420, YL gospel huxter, good signal, from WHRI as now scheduled Sat & Sun only at 14-15, but missing from Aoki (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1070, Nov 3 at 1305 UT, soul music from E/W is atop KLIO Wichita, until the latter surges ESPN Deportes at 1306. Presumably WDIA Memphis TN, on 50 kW day power, altho pattern is extremely unfavorable aiming south, while 5 kW night pattern has no major lobe this way either. Active website shows ``Heart & Soul of Memphis``,
http://www.mywdia.com/main.html
which converts to UC:AC format in NRC AM Log with no slogan shown (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1090, Nov 3 at 1309 UT, very heavy 4 Hz SAH between KAAY Little Rock with ID during gospel music, vs Catholic mass from 8 kW EWTN outlet KEXS Excelsior Springs MO (near Kansas City), which holds up well into daylight here. Catholix vs Protestants (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Pacific JBA carrier search Nov 3 at 1254-1259: 594, 747, 774, 972, 1053, 1314 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Glenn Hauser logs November 2-3, 2013

** CUBA [and non]. 9490, Nov 3 at 0057, lite pulse place-marking jamming from the DCJC, but as I listen it audibly ramps up as more sites pile on and/or turn up power level, in anticipation of Radio República. Its carrier via FRANCE is on at 0100 but no modulation until Cuban NA (both pre- and post-Castro) starts playing at 0101:15, as jamming increases, how unpatriotic (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** EAST TURKISTAN. 6005, Nov 3 at 0054, very poor signal in English, could be something interesting, BBC? No, 0055 CRI ``Let`s Learn Chinese`` theme and dispensable hourend filler. It`s yet another overkill broadcast from Kashgar about to end (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** INDIA. 11985, Nov 3 at 0043, AIR is poor with flutter, in S Asian talk, presumably Tamil as scheduled 0000-0045 from Delhi(Khampur) site. 0044 a bit of music, and 0045 pause until 0046:10 a song starts, presumably to open the Sinhala semihour. It`s been several nights since I had heard this, and figured they had made some change without telling us for B-13. But you never knew what they would do from one night to the next in A-13. 11740 via GOA is supposed to be // for both languages, and it`s also on, but very poor with CCI, from presumed CNR2 Lingshi site as scheduled now until 0100. While 11985 was pausing, I could still hear some talk on 11740, presumably CNR2. By 0104 the CCI is gone from 11740 and both it and 11985 are still on! Now I can tell the music is //, but not in synch. 11740 is much weaker than 11985 now, not always the case (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6925-USB, Nov 3 at 0052, only pirate around, poor with rock music; 0101 saying something about ``co-ax thru the wall``; 0103 ending a phone call (faux?) with some music; 0109 recheck it`s gone. This thread agrees it was Twangy Radio:
http://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,13622.0.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PERU. 5980, Nov 3 at 0055, carrier could be R. Chaski or VOA Tibetan or ChiCom jamming; in a few minutes I know only Urubamba will be left, and time its cutoff at 0102:53* which is 16.5 seconds later than last check three days ago (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1693 monitoring: confirmed on WTWW-2, 9930, Saturday Nov 2 at 2328:50. Next: UT Sunday 0401v on WTWW-1 5830 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5085, Nov 3 at 0042, WTWW in Ted Randall`s `QSO` show, which presumably started at 0000 after WOR on 9930; but recheck at 0050, 5085 is already off (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9975, Nov 3 at 0106, KVOH has come on late after allowing CVC to get a headstart from Uzbekistan; tone and some hum atop CVC, still at 0113 buts cuts off briefly and back on; 0132 now it`s open carrier and some hum, then joining `Frecuencia al Día`, the DX program already on several US and other SW stations, in progress. It`s a segment with Antonio Buitrago of REE talking about the Costa Rica relay closing; audio feed sounds like low-bitrate internet connexion rather than hi-fi FM STL, maybe a temp measure as KVOH had STL problems delaying last night`s début. Now I notice some buzz and crackle at 9960 and 9990, which I am afraid are parasitic spurs coming from the KVOH transmitter halfway between. 0325 recheck during English hour it`s ``classic and vintage jazz`` from Los Angeles, interspersed with ``Good News`` promos. Initially solid signal is quite a bit weaker by 0347 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** UZBEKISTAN [and non]. 9975, Nov 3 at 0051, open carrier, fair with flutter, not strong enough to be KVOH, so presumed CVC warming up for India service via Tashkent. 0100 starts talking presumed Hindi, but quite undermodulated for the carrier level. 0106 KVOH has come on with tone and hum over CVC which can be detected underneath. Continued under U S A (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

SRS Ends Broadcasts

The current Sudan Radio Service started out as the Darfur News and Information Service (DNIS). Its first broadcast was in January 2009. Over the years, the demand for fair and balanced programming in Sudan grew and in September 2012, under funding from the U.S Department of State's Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor, the service expanded to other regions of Sudan. Its name changed to Sudan Radio Service. However, avenues for securing further funding for sustaining the service have diminished. As a result, the Sudan Radio Service will cease operating from October 31, 2013. "We express our gratitude to our funders and our listeners for giving us the energy to offer the kind of programming at the Sudan Radio Service. It has been a great run," says Deputy Chief of Party Brian Adeba.

Glenn Hauser logs November 1-2, 2013

** CHINA. 7435, Nov 2 at 1359, prélude music, 1400 CRI opening Russian, very good signal. I was looking for the Radio Exterior de España IS, which whenever checked the past several B-seasons, would air by mistake at 1358-1400 on 7435 and 7220 preceding the CRI Nepali hour via Kunming, both always weak but enough to recognize REE IS.

Maybe it is still on 7435, but in B-13, CRI is scheduled to collide with itself, in Russian also from 1400 via another site SZG, 500 kW at 37 degrees, also USward. No wonder I am hearing that instead of REE/Kunming/Nepali. Next chance must check 7220 at 1358, as there is no collision scheduled there, with Vietnam conveniently in a sesquihour break. This mixed-up built-in switching-error is/was presumably connected with the REE Spanish relay via Beijing 11910 which was and is still scheduled to end at 1400, but unreheard lately.

17495, fair at 0154 Nov 2 with song; Aoki shows CRI in Amoy, not a jammer. HFCC shows 193 degrees from Beijing site (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA [and non]. Firedrake [non] CNR1 jamming before 0200 UT Nov 2:

17890, poor at 0153 --- HFCC shows NOT jamming, just CNR1 Beijing at 0130-1100; standard remark about genuine CNR1 vs jamming outlets

17805, poor at 0153 with echo. HFCC target here is IBB in ``Uly`` via Tinian this hour only; Aoki has a better abbr. for Uighur: Uyg

17730, poor at 0154 with LAH from target, i.e. Ulaanbataar off-frequency relay of RFA Tibetan, not in HFCC so it`s deniable by Mongolia, but in Aoki at 01-03

Before 1300 UT Nov 2:
7390 at 1257 with 1 kHz tone, 1258 open carrier; at 1300, 5+1 timesignal, opening CNR1 Mandarin blocking ``Welcome to the Voice of America --- in Cantonese``, as scheduled per Aoki, *7390 via Tinang, PHILIPPINES at 1300-1500 daily

After 1300 UT Nov 2:
15510, fair at 1308, unusual CNR1 spot, vs what? Aoki: *BBC Uzbek via Thailand during this semihour only.

After 1400 UT Nov 2, finally some real FIREDRAKE again!!! Never have I been so pleased to hear jamming; maybe not employing it every day?

6145, good at 1401 past 1423 as it`s weakening into daytime here; no CCI audible, but target must be per Aoki: R. Taiwan International at 1400-1800 via Paochung.

Eike Bierwirth in Wiesbaden, Germany also reports it: ``Chinese Firedrake jamming is currently going on against RFA on 9355 (fair), 5865 (weak) and 9455 (fair-strong). 2 Nov 2013, 2015 UT``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA [and non]. 11760, Nov 1 at 1954, no signal from the first RHC English hour of the day, 19-20 UT. It will probably shift to 20-21, but should not do so until DST is over Nov 3. Could it be a blackout? ANGUILLA is also absent from 11775, but probably coincidental.

At this time the only significant signals on 25m are 11670 India, poor with flutter, 11930 R. Martí, very poor; and nearby US stations with usual VG signals: 12160 WWCR, 12105 WTWW, 12050 WEWN; on 31m just the four Tennesseeans on 9980, 9930, 9479, all VG and 9370 WWRB weak (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 5040, Nov 1 at 2330, RHC English is still suffering bad rumble on the modulation and wobble on the carrier, like 24 hours earlier, and nothing has been done about it. Still really rumbling and wobbling in Spanish at 0135 check --- but at 0545 in English now it`s recovered; fixed, or switched to a different transmitter? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also EGYPT

** CUBA [and non]. Typo in this item from previous report: it`s 5980, not 5890, altho VOA Spanish and jamming had been there previously. (Why isn`t my spellchecker smart enough to catch such an error??)

5980, Nov 1 at 1256, the DentroCuban Jamming Command has finally caught up with R. Martí which extended another hour on this frequency for B-13, and enjoyed it jamming-free for a few days. Perhaps Arnie read my reports, which he will never admit. Now RM is about level with the jam, still readable. After 1300, 7405 is still on and well atop the jamming (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA [and non]. 9490, Nov 2 at 0124, wall-of-noise jamming and Radio República barely audible underneath it; unlike before 0100 when no RR and jamming was only lite pulsing, so it does appear that RR shifted one hour later already, 01-03 instead of 00-02, in accordance with standard time in FRANCE which is irrelevant in Cuba and the USA (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** DJIBOUTI. See UNIDENTIFIED

** EGYPT. 11760, Nov 2 at 0117, RHC Spanish mixed with humbuzz, but guess what, I am not going to blame RHC on this one, since we know that R. Cairo has also registered 11760 to Mexico, Central America, and Caribbean in Arabic and Spanish at 2330-0200, 250 kW, 286 degrees from Abis; and the humbuzz seemed to be fading independently of RHC. (The previous panoply of spurs centered on 11760, however, were so strong that I am still blaming RHC for those) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** EQUATORIAL GUINEA [and non]. 15190, Nov 1 at 1941, poor signal with flutter, hymn about Christ the Savior, so R. Africa; meanwhile, VON DRM noise was blasting around 15120 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** INDONESIA. 9526-, Nov 2 at 1255, VOI is missing for the fourth day in a row (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KOREA NORTH [non]. 9775, Nov 2 after 1400, good steady signal from R. Free Chosun again; I still can`t believe this is a trans-polar signal from TAJIKISTAN as alleged in Aoki. Here`s my previous 3-minute recording of its opening, Nov 1 at 1400 before I had IDed it:http://www.w4uvh.net/RFChosun9775.rm
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KUWAIT. 15540, Nov 1 at 1951 I detect a JBA carrier presumably still from R. Kuwait which insists on staying here yearound for the 18-21 English broadcast, even in the winter when it runs until local midnight, long after the 19m band has dropped out on most occasions, and probably does not even reach Europe (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NEW ZEALAND. 5950, Nov 2 at 1259, RNZI Bellbird IS is back on proper B-13 frequency after reverting to A-13`s 6170 yesterday at this time (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NICARAGUA [non?]. 8989-USB, Nov 1 at 2324, predicador audible in Spanish but very poorly (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6950.0-AM, Nov 2 at 0155, poor signal from pirate with music, 0157 QRM from a Spanish 2-way contact on USB, ``adelante, comandante``, ``afirmativo`` perfectly tuned to the carrier on 6950. This thread says the pirate was XFM:http://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,13586.0.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ROMANIA [and non]. 7220, Nov 2 at 0540, ``Ransom House Blues`` song sounds sort of like Tom Jones, but searching on the title leads nowhere despite hearing what I thought was that sung several times. RRI Radio Actualitatsi as IDed at 0543, HS program 1 relay, certainly presents some interesting music, beyond mere Romanian. CCI from CRI English via ALBANIA is barely audible underneath at pauses (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SERBIA [non]. 6190, Nov 2 at 0133, still zero signal from IRS via BOSNIA-HERZEGOVINA, despite own website claiming that the N American service still exists (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SPAIN [and non]. 15385, Nov 1 at 1943, something in Spanish --- could KJES be back on the frequency they keep registering with FCC and HFCC, but not heard since May 30, 2012?

No! It`s Castilian and a frequency REE has used earlier in the day; sounds like same interview of an OM by a YL about the environment as heard on 17850 but not //. Finally with the G8 second receiver to the DX-398 on the porch, I catch a keyword, and time 17850 as running 67 seconds *behind* 15385.

17850 is the new B-13 frequency from Noblejas for Central America to replace Cariari. 17850 was previously a Cariari frequency for North America until that was deleted last year. They were always a satellite delay+ of a few seconds behind Noblejas, but now with both from Noblejas, the 67 second delay can only be explained as separate playouts for different target areas.

The last log of KJES on 15385 I can find in the DXLD archive was May 30, 2012, altho it may have continued a bit longer --- one never knows which date one does not bother to log it will turn out to be the final one!

Yes, KJES is still imaginary on 15385 in FCC B-13 now at:http://transition.fcc.gov/ib/sand/neg/hf_web/B13FCC01.TXT
15385   1900 2000 KJES 50    270 55,58,59 1234567   271013 300314
15385   2000 2100 KJES 50    100 11       1234567   271013 300314

And consequently same in HFCC. (If it were on the air during this Week of Confusion, it would be one UT hour earlier than the above; note that the first hour in English was due west for all of Australia by CIRAF, not NZ, [and for the rest of their summer would be at 6-7 am AEST; 3-4 am WAT], but the Spanish hour at 100 degrees would now collide with Spain in Central America.)

Tnx to FCC, and HFCC, other lists such as current B-13 Aoki still include it, ignoring my reports that it is GONE from this frequency:
15385 1800-1900 USA KJES VADO Eng Vado        1-7
15385 1900-2000 USA KJES VADO Spa Vado        1-7

While we`re at it, Aoki shows this for REE on 15385:
15385 1425-1455 E   R.EXTERIOR DE ESPANA     Sef Noblejas    2
15385 1500-1700 E   R.EXTERIOR DE ESPANA     Spa Noblejas    23456
15385 1900-2000 E   R.EXTERIOR DE ESPANA     Por Noblejas    [daily]

But today it was certainly in Castilian, not Portuguese! HFCC B-13 agrees with me that REE at 19-20 is in Spanish, but omits the Monday Sephardic at 1425-1455, which stays on 15385 yearound.

For the record, here are some KJES reports from *2012y* in the DXLD archive:

``15385+, March 15 [2012] at 1835, KJES has VG S9+22 signal, but just
barely modulated, with hum, catechisms in English. Slightly on the hi
side, but within FCC`s too-lax tolerance (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST 12-12)``

``15385.1, KJES Vado NM; 1856-1902+, 9-May [2012]; English hymn at tune-in to YL English ID at 1859:35 to VYL/Spanish ID at 1900 & into Spanish hymn. S9-10, hummy & vweak co-channel audio (nothing else on the lists -- maybe a studio thing, or robo-kids in the back not paying attention). (Harold Frodge, Midland MI, USA, Drake R8B + 85 ft. RW &
180 ft. center-fed RW, All logged by my ears, on my receiver, in real
time! DX LISTENING DIGEST)``

``15385, May 13 at 1905 [2012], undermodulated Spanish, hum and fades on fair signal, KJES active today, and Spain is staying on 15110 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST 12-20)``

``15385+, May 30 [2012] at 1927 dead air, but at 1933 modulating poorly with man talking. KJES is scheduled at 18-20 on a different azimuth each hour. Poor signal today but slightly on the hi side compared to other 19m signals (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST 12-22)

``Missing stations department: 11715v, no signal at all from KJES, June 22 [2012] at 1312, 1410, 1450 chex, including the hour when they have supposedly rotated the LP to send max signal right across Oklahoma, 70 degrees at 13-14. Nor has it been heard lately on 15385v during the 18-20 UT broadcast. Need to check the third scheduled frequency, 7555 at 0100-0230. 15385, June 22 at 1916, still no trace of KJES; nor on 7555 at 0142 June 23 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST 12-26)``

``15385, KJES, not heard in many weeks at various afternoon bandscans during the time it is scheduled, 18-20 UT. It was never very
reliable, but has anyone heard it at all? Still shows up sometimes on
11715 in the 13-16 UT period (Glenn Hauser, OK, September 3 [2012], DX
LISTENING DIGEST)``

``11715.0, Sept 4 [2012] at 1435, KJES with adult in English verses, quite undermodulated. I frequently scan the 19m band sometime between 18 and 20 when KJES is scheduled on 15385, but haven`t heard it there for weeks; has anyone? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST 12-36)``

``15385, Oct 20 [2012] at 1835 check, no sign of KJES NM for its
scheduled 18-20 UT broadcast; still hear it most of the time in the
mornings on 11715, evenings on 7555 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST 12-43)``

** SRI LANKA [and non]. 11905, Nov 2 at 0115, SLBC VG with S Asian song, probably Hindi, about the best I have heard it, and not failing to modulate tonight. I must have just missed the sign-on.

No more fun on 11985 from India; yet to find out what has replaced that for B-13; Aoki B-13 still shows it for 0045-0115 Sinhala, presumably just held over from A-13 info. As of Nov 2, AIR has not updated their own sked beyond A-13 athttp://allindiaradio.gov.in/Profile/Radio%20Network/Pages/default.aspx
which Jose Jacob has pointed out, and I suppose his own VU2JOS site has not yet either. And of course, not in HFCC either (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U K [non]. 13725, Nov 2 at 0121, BBCWS English, fair with flutter, better than 15755 and better still than 15335. Both 13725 and 15755 are 250 kW, 25 degrees from Thailand but with different antennas per HFCC: a 156 on 13725, and a 216 on 15755.

5875, Nov 2 at 1243, BBCWS with report about NASA and Mars, so THAILAND relay stays on 5875 yet another day instead of 5840 as on last Friday and previous Fridays during A-13 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7465, UT Sat Nov 2 at 0132, VOA in not-so-special English, about Bruce Springsteen. This is the new frequency, ex-9825, for VOA`s only English broadcast to the Americas (excepting Radiograms), UT Tue-Sat, which is worth putting on only one Greenville frequency while several more transmitters must be idle. Tony Ashar found the complete new B-13 VOA English schedule including all the other transmissions (minus sites, certainly all others abroad) for what is now called:

Learning English
0030-0100 UTC Daily 1575 6170 9790 11695 12005 15155 15205 15290

2230–2400 UTC Daily 5820 7460 9490
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1693 monitoring: confirmed on Area 51 via WBCQ 5110v-CUSB, UT Saturday Nov 2 starting at 0201:15, after some amusement with a song called ``Money``, I assume, considering that was the only word in the lyrix.

Axually, I had just been listening to the strange unID signal on 4710-LSB, so 5110 also came up in LSB mode --- and I could hear some modulation at 0200 past 0201 with WOR, but much louder modulation on USB: reconfirming that WBCQ`s LSB is not totally suppressed.

Next: Saturday 2327v on WTWW-2 9930; UT Sunday 0401v on WTWW-1 5830 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. 15420-CUSB, Nov 1 at 1940, WBCQ with anapaestic androgynous preachperson from Fence Lake NM, colliding as always with BBCWS English, and making a LAH since WBCQ is somewhat off-frequency. This has been going on for years; what are their frequency managers thinking?! Here we are close to the 245 degree azimuth of WBCQ, and we still have this QRM from BBC, in B-13 as 14-15, 250 kW, 285 degrees from Seychelles, and at 15-20, 250 kW, 270 degrees from Seychelles.

They just can`t help but believe paper listings or computed coverages that the two reach entirely separate CIRAF targets, failing to turn on a radio or realize that in the real world, SW signals carry on far beyond targets, not even in the same direxion. HFCC shows WBCQ and BBC are the only stations in the world currently on 15420 at any time. It would not be that hard to find a clear frequency for both on the 19m band, but that is as far as I am going without being retained as a frequency manager who would know what he is doing.

9330-CUSB, UT Sat Nov 2 at 0126, `Allan Weiner Worldwide` is just wrapping up as I tune in, something about a pizza party until 10 o`clock at wbcq.com (?) and cut to Brother Scare // 7490. BS is not supposed to be on 9330; meanwhile 5110 was in other music.

As the signature program on WBCQ, the original live airing of AWWW gets to be on all three transmitters; otherwise, 9330 is dedicated to Good Friends Radio Network, which was on there by the time I rechecked at 0152. (However, 5110 cuts to sold time at 0100 before AWWW is usually over.) From next week with standard time, AWWW will start at 0100 UT and run to 0230v except on 5110 until 0200 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. KJES, NOT on 15385: see SPAIN [and non]

** U S A. 7730, Nov 1 at 2327, JBA carrier, presumably the new frequency from WWCR, 13845 minus 6115, replacing 6970 = 13845 minus 6875. Harold Frodge confirms hearing 7730 in MI, as he did 6970, tho I`ve not had much luck with either.

The schedule on 7730 is 21-24 UT during the Week of Confusion, then 21-01 for the rest of B-13 until DST resume in March.

7520, Nov 2 at 0129, extremely strong signal from US station has very noisy sidebands too out to +/- 15 kHz, worst around +/- 9 kHz. Is it WRHI or WWCR? WWCR-4 as scheduled during this Week of Confusion at 23-02 UT, to become 00-03 from Nov 3.

This crud collides with the crud from WRNO 7506.4+, which extends out to some 12 kHz above and below (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 3195, Nov 2 at 0146, WWRB with preacher hard to understand, seemingly amateur recording with IADs, stops & starts, clix, hum surges at pauses; coughs and says he has a cold; giving www.yahwah-apostolic-ministries.org website (which I finally found by searching, since he spells Yahweh as Yahwah; the Semites are casual about vowels. Note also the essential hyphens). Seems name of show is `Truth`s Renewal`.

This page says ``See when and where YAHWAH Ministries is on the radio``: http://yahwah-apostolic-ministries.org/radiobroadcasts.html
but there is NO info or link to radio stations, just audio archive!
O, there it is, only if you hover over ``Truth`s Renewal`` button:
Broadcast Schedule:
Friday @ 10:00 PM (Shortwave Radio) -
WWRB Radio 3.185 AM [sic]
Saturday @ 1:30 AM & Sunday @ 2:00 AM [when WWRB is not on the air]

Also plugs http://www.youtube.com/yahwahministries
And offers monthly newsletter, phone number in Philadelphia 215-2#6-6687. Phone rings and nothing further heard at 0150, when Dave comes on saying that he must have finished early, so will fill with Bible-on-tape, until Brother Arnold calls in shortly for next program.

The probably outdated Global One program schedule for ``5050`` athttp://www.wwrb.org/schedule/global_1/combined.pdf
says Friday at 10-10:30 pm ET is YAHWEH [sic] Ministries. This was certainly not Truth House, the E. C. Fulcher show listed for 9-10 pm ET M-F, the hour during which I logged this.

And it`s clear from the spelling disparity as well as the lack of IDs that this is unrelated to the ``Radio YHWH`` pirate that has been on 9775 and 3235; I`ve yet to catch it on the lower frequency, usually reported active at a somewhat later hour (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. Hi Ray, Checked 9975 at 0123 UT tonight [UT Nov 2], but no KVOH, just very poor signal presumably still from CVC Tashkent. What happened? Meant to check again later, but just realized it`s 0430 and did not get back to it. Did you come on later? Still plan to be on tomorrow night? (Glenn to Ray Robinson, 0432 UT Nov 2, via DXLD)

Hi, Glenn. Yes, we were having problems with the studio to transmitter link. We eventually got on the air about an hour and 15 minutes late. We abandoned the schedule for the night, and just played music and ID's until 0400. Our proper first night will now be tomorrow [UT Nov 3 0100-0400; but following nights with standard time at 0200-0500 UT] (Ray Robinson, KVOH, to Glenn, via DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 600, Nov 2 at 1226 UT, traffic chopper report on a Saturday morning from Iowa? WMT Cedar Rapids then plugging some show which they have just moved to KMJM 1360. Own joint ID for 600 with 95.7 FM (which is KOSY-FM per NRC), says they run an anti-Obamacare spot at the top and bottom of each hour --- what a public service!! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1050, Nov 2 at 0555 UT, ad with 870- area code phone number, which better not be toll-free. Loops NW/SE, or close to that, with XEG nulled; then C2CAM, probably but not certainly from same station.

870 is most of Arkansas, not including LR and the center and not including the west. http://nanpa.com/area_code_maps/display.html?ar

The nearest 1050 station is in the center, but maybe close enough: KJBN (North) Little Rock, 1000/19/64 watts per NRC AM Log, but format REL:AC would seem to exclude C2CAM.

Yes, the only 1050 on C2CAM roster is KSIS in Sedalia/Sikeston MO; in Little Rock on some FM station (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1220, Nov 2 at 0518 UT, country music from ENE, sounds like same WSLM Salem IN as heard 24 hours earlier, suspected on day power.

Also, regarding the off-frequency het on 1220, from KMVL Madisonville TX, and/or its booster KM2XVL in Huntsville, gor this reply from Steve Luce in Houston:

``Glenn, I have checked KMVL a few times during daylight hours from a location in far NW Harris County and I don't hear any het. Of course, I have no way of knowing if the synchro is on or not. However a few years ago I did listen to KMVL at night while driving between Madisonville and Huntsville, and heard a very long het, perhaps 5 centihertz. Will have to check next time I make a DFW trip. XEB is dominant on 1220 at night at my QTH, but sometimes I can faintly hear KMVL lurking underneath.`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. TA carrier search, Nov 2 at 0511-0516: JBA on 693, 774, 882, 891 (first one noticed, het with no BFO needed), 1053, 1062, 1179, 1422 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. TP carrier search, Nov 1 at 1248-1252 UT: JBA on 702, 738, 774, 882. 774 definitely from NW = Japan, but 702 and 738 imply NSW and Tahiti.

TP carrier search, Nov 2 at 1234-1241 UT: JBA on 567, 594, 693, 702, 747, 774, 828, 972, 1044, 1053, 1152. As usual checked 774 first and there it was looping NW, i.e. Japan. Can`t be sure all the others were from NW (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1010-, Nov 2 at 0112 UT, het on the lo side. I can get a rather tight DF on it, ENE/WSW which puts it in the USA or NW Mexico. MWoffsets list has nothing but KCHJ in California, only 5.3 Hz low and this is much further than that, but a lot less than 1 kHz. No keyboard handy to measure the pitch, but heard first on caradio at 0106, so not a local device.

Het still there at 0503 check, and at 0524 I have my keyboard to find the closest pitch match: Bb below C-middle, i.e. approx. 233 Hz, which puts the carrier on approx. 1019.767. I could still hear it before sunrise around 1230, but couldn`t track it long enough to decide whether it`s east or west from here. Ideas? Besides KXEN, the 1010 stations along the likely line range from BCN, to AZ, Chihuahua, Amarillo, Independence KS, Indiana and Ohio.

We can rule out KINDependence KS; shortly after local mean noon at 1840 UT Nov 2, I can detect its carrier as the one and only daytime signal here on 1010, and is not 233 Hz low, in fact very slightly on the hi side of 1010, as compared to neighboring stations on 1020, 1000, etc. (not including KLIO ESPND Wichita 1070 which is always way off itself) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 4710-LSB, Nov 2 at 0137, something very strange: loop of incomprehensible singing and wobbling, with irregular beat; by 0143 the beat has changed when I record a sample of it; I am tuning slightly up and down trying to improve clarity, to no avail:http://www.w4uvh.net/4710unid.rm
Still going at 0204. Something you might hear on the pirate band. 4710 was also the home of a never IDed JBA signal in Spanish, probably broadcast harmonic 3 x 1570 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 4780, Nov 1 at 2328, very poor signal with music --- yes, it`s Qur`an, with het from 4781.7 Ecuador. Probably Djibouti on late/early as heard previously with much better signal around 0100, but not every night. Next check at 0136 Nov 2, still very poor with Qur`an, gone by 0200 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 6933-LSB, Nov 1 at 2325, mad mixture of music and maybe Spanish talk. Not only US pirates inhabit this band, but Mexican and other Latin Americans, which tend to be two-way (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 13550, Nov 2 at 0122, very poor signal with talk mixture, vs CODAR. Smax of an overload receiver mix. Let`s see what adds up to 13550? 6165 + 7385; or 6030 + 7520; or ? Too weak to make a match altho it may have involved Brother Scare which does not apply to any of those or any of his known frequencies (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

VOA Radiogram, 2-3 Nov 2013, continues tests of new MFSK64L and MFSK128L modes

Last week we experimented with the new long-interleave versions of MFSK64 and MFSK128. For some of you, when the MFSK64L or MFSK128L modes began transmitting, your Fldigi software crashed or froze.
The cause for that has been identified, and newer versions of Fldigi should alleviate the problem. Use Fldigi 3.21.76AT or later. The current alpha version of Fldigi, used to produce this weekend's program, is 3.21.76AU. It can be downloaded from http://www.w1hkj.com/alpha/fldigi/v3.21/.
From last weekend, we have some occurrences of MFSK64L and MFSK128L providing a better decode than their "short" counterparts. But we need more examples.
This weekend's show (November 2-3, 2013) should be interesting, and it will keep you busy:
2:38 MFSK16: Program preview
6:27 MFSK64/Flmsg*: Rails-to-trails, with image
1:11 MFSK32: Introduction to MFSK64L and MFSK128L
1:38 MFSK64: Modular smartphones

Glenn Hauser logs November 1, 2013

** AUSTRALIA. 15340, Nov 1 at 1338, RHC is missing, allowing HCJB Australia to be audible in S Asian language; Aoki shows Hindi during this semihour daily, tho there is a large rotation of many other languages at 1230-1330 and 1430-1500. Weaker than an open carrier on 15400, see unID, possibly the other Kununurran (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. Firedrake [non] CNR1 jamming Nov 1 before 1400:
12050: see TIBET [non]
13130, very poor at 1335
13430, poor at 1336 with heavy CODAR
13480, poor at 1336 with heavy CODAR
13970, fair at 1337; none in the 14s, 15s except maybe 15265v
16100, very poor at 1339
16600, fair at 1339; none in the 17s, 18s; no 10s at 1348
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 15340, Nov 1 at 1338, RHC is missing, allowing HCJB Australia to be audible, q.v. (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA [and non]. 5890, Nov 1 at 1256, the DentroCuban Jamming Command has finally caught up with R. Martí which extended another hour on this frequency for B-13, and enjoyed it jamming-free for a few days. Perhaps Arnie read my reports, which he will never admit. Now RM is about level with the jam, still readable. After 1300, 7405 is still on and well atop the jamming (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** INDONESIA. 9526-, Nov 1 at 1308, VOI is still AWOL from its English hour and perhaps all its hours. http://rri.jpn.org/ still has not been updated to Nov 1, but shows it was last heard on Oct 29 instead of 28, and I have not heard it now for three days in a row (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** IRAN [and non]. 17840, Nov 1 at 1304, IRIB Arabic via Zahedan is still colliding with RRI Romanian, as I first reported Oct 28, despite plenty of free channels on 16m. How much longer? RRI is atop here (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** JAPAN. 3945, Nov 1 at 1253, good signal from R. Nikkei 2 with flute music, but does not deter SSB hams from transmitting on and around it, while they do tend to avoid Nikkei 1 on 3925. 3945 is on this late only on weekdays, and today almost as good as 3925 except for the QRhaM (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KOREA NORTH [non]. 5910, Nov 1 at 1354, Sea Breeze, via JSR Tokyo, JAPAN, very poor with usual sounders and seems like English as only on Fridays at 1330-1430 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KOREA NORTH [non]. 9775+, Nov 1 at 1345, good open carrier again like heard Oct 30; 1400 dramatic music and YL announcement in Korean, with assertiveness worthy of Pyongyang; I can only make out ``Pangsong inmida`` which is no full ID; 1401 music has a hopeful/gospel tinge? 1403 another theme and OM opening some program; still going past 1430 in Korean conversation. 9775+ means it`s slightly on the hi side compared to 11775 Anguilla (but that could be slightly on the lo side).

Not in HFCC but the preliminary version of B-13 Aoki found by Paul S. in Connecticut at
http://www.geocities.jp/binewsjp/ia/userlist1.txt
has it: ``9775 1400-1600 TJK Radio Free Chosun Kor Dushanbe-Ya 1-7``. Certainly a better signal than I would have expected from TAJIKISTAN. BTW, no jamming audible here.

WRTH 2013 entry showed quite a different schedule in B-12, at 12-14 and 20-21 on other Dushanbe frequencies. ID: ``Inmin-e sori, jeongni-e hamseong, Jayu Joseon Bangsong-imnida``;

Notes: ``On SW since 5 Dec 2005. Produced by the NGO ``Network for NK Democracy and Human Rights`` (Nknet). Funded thru US government / US Congress grants``. So it is not out of the question it could also be using USG transmitters, such as NMI or Philippines, which would be more in keeping with the good reception I am getting. Or maybe Palau (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KURDISTAN [non]. 11510, Nov 1 at 1307, Denge Kurdistan is back on its originally planned B-13 frequency, after trying 11600 for a few days. Maybe Ludo saw our reports that 11510 is clear and 11600 clashes with several other stations. We used to enjoy mostly music during this hour, but now it`s mostly talk --- did they make a DST programming shift too? Fair signal at first, declining later in the hour (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 610, Nov 1 at 1242 UT, checking for XEGS Guasave, Sinaloa, // 650 XETNT, I think it`s there, but underneath a stronger Spanish signal, with birthday greetings to kids, notably quinceañeras in various colonias; one mentioned was Villahermosa, but surely not Tabasco as also mentioned Nueva Rosita and Sabinas phones, CST TC, i.e. XEBX 5000/500 watts in Coahuila (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 650, Nov 1 at 1237 UT, song extolling Sinaloa, naming several cities, then compares to Durango, Chihuahua, back to beloved Sinaloa. 1239 ID as ``Chávez Radio K``, and `Panorama Agropecuario`, 5:39 TC. It`s XETNT in Los Mochis back on MST. Normally duplicated on XEGS 610 Guasave, but found another XE dominant there (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NEW ZEALAND [and non]. 6170, Nov 1 at 1353, RNZI is back on its A-13 frequency, tho I had confirmed it on B-13`s 5950 the very first day of the season Oct 27, and on several mornings since! A mistake? Computer rebooted to A13 operation? ``Radio New Zealand International. Voice of the Pacific`` ID as soon as I tune in. Still claims to be on 5950 at http://www.radionz.co.nz/international/listen

Anyhow, no QRM on 6170 now, so why switch between them twice a year, just to assert rights to both in case one become unusable? One good reason is not in HFCC, of course, but in Aoki: V. of Korea is now on 6170 long hours, but in a break at 1250-1400. 1404, RNZI still there but very poor and now with a SAH, presumably from Kujang (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 1140, Nov 1 at 1224 UT, 1-kW ND daytimer, KRMP OKC is dominant already, black-orientated talkshow, interview with musician; 1225 ad for OKC`s Black Chronicle newspaper. Trouble is, official FCC sunrise in Nov is not until 1300 UT; but even in October it was 1230. Even compliant stations often mess up on the first day of the month, forgetting to change their SR/SS operational times. It won`t be until DST goes off Nov 3 that KRMP will be entitled to start at 7 am local CST. Well, it does have a PSRA limited by XEMR, of SIX WATTS in August thru April, ballooning to 10 watts in May & July and a hefty 17 watts in June. This is no 6 watts (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SOMALILAND [and non]. 7120, Nov 1 at 1350, bit of modulation on BA AM carrier with CW QRM of various pitches from hams, the slowest and best of which is a CQ from W0RPZ, who probably has no idea he is abutting the exotic R. Hargeisa, which admittedly has no business staying in the worldwide 40m hamband. I`m too busy checking out 9775 to catch the Somali shutoff around 1400, gone already at 1402.

W0RPZ is per ARRL: ``ZOLNOWSKI JR, RICHARD P, W0RPZ, 8706 KENTUCKY, RAYTOWN, MO 64138. ATTN: Richard P. Zolnowski, Jr., Previous call sign: NR0Z`` and he`s an Extra so why is he sending so slow, for our benefit? Hey, he got vanity call with his own initials! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 3215, Nov 1 at 0547, Brother Scare is here on WWCR, a few words ahead of // 3185 WWRB. He`s shown up on this frequency before, but the latest program schedule from WWCR dated 27 October claims at 05-06 UT M-F is still `Inspirations Across America`, the black gospel music show. They`ll have to revise everything again effective Nov 3 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TIBET [non]. 12050, Nov 1 at 1335, WEWN Spanish, besides self-imposed squeals, now has CCI from CNR1 jamming and/or R. Free Asia in Tibetan via SAIPAN, as per Aoki now scheduled at 1200-1400. Normally we hear CNR1 jamming on 12045, but nothing audible there now, tho Aoki also shows VOA Chinese on 12045 at 1100-1500 via Tinang/Tinian. Seems unlikely IBB would really run these two 5 kHz apart now (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U K [non]. 5875, Nov 1 at 1255, BBCWS is still here via THAILAND even on a Friday (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. In last report I should have identified this one more precisely than ``Dave`` == WWRB: 3215, Oct 31 at 2350 looking for another rant from Dave, but instead it`s heavy but primitive organ music --- for Hallowe`en, or regular filler? Recheck at 0003 November 1, it`s off the air, not on 3195 either yet, and 3185 BS is on as usual. Rerecheck at 0017 organ is back on 3215, and still at 0026 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. 9479, 9930 and 12105, Nov 1 at 1344, all three WTWW transmitters are absent, but two of them are still on night frequencies 5085 and 5830. Perhaps a *1400v UT start will be normal after the DST deletion Nov 3. Meanwhile RFA in Burmese via SAIPAN is heard well on 12105, at 1230-1430 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 870, Nov 1 at 1232 UT, I find something else with WWL nulled: classic rock, mentions ``103.7, America`s`` something. Per NRC-AM log the only match is: KAAN Bethany MO, 930 watts ND, also on K279AP 103.7, ``American`s [sic] Greatest Hits``. KAAN`s November sunrise is 1300 UT, while in October it was 1230, so apparently thinx it`s still October. It does have a PSRA of 500 watts, but only in Dec and Jan, 10 watts in April, elsewhen none, all limited by WWL. Bethany is in NW MO on I-35, 30 miles south of Iowa, and uncomfortably close to Maryville (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1220, Nov 1 at 0502 UT [since KGWA 960 is not in a Fox-hole tonight], find a dominant signal here with a string of local ads, PSAs for YMCA, Tru-Value, car dealer, 812-area codes, mentions southern Indiana, ``Kentuckiana``, WSLM ID, ``Your Classic Hits``. Some ads are obviously outdated, implying that September and even August are in the future.

Where`s 50 kW WHKW Cleveland? Never much from it here with its N/SSE pattern. NRC Pattern Book shows WSLM aims slightly clockwise from east/west, night power 82 watts, yeah, right, vs day power 5000.

0601 UT recheck, ABC News, 0602 adbreak includes jamboree in southern Indiana, or rather Kentuckiana; 0606 ID for 97.9 and ``1220 AM WSLM Country``; now there is some Mexican music CCI from presumed XEB, sounding like less than 100 kW; anyhow a notable achievement by WSLM.

[Perpetual het on hi side with DF fitting usual off-frequency source, KMVL Madisonville TX, 11 watts night, yeah, right. Or is that really from its experimental co-channel booster KM2XVL in Huntsville TX, also allegedly 11 watts? I`m still waiting for someone between the two towns to ascertain whether these two het each other on daytime groundwave] (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1220, Nov 1 at 0559 UT, as I am rechecking WSLM IN, also hear a mention of ``KOPW.com`` (?). Must have been KLPW in Union MO, 1000/126 watts ND, address in Washington; WSW of St Louis but too far out to cover the metro. Yes, their site is http://klpw.com and maybe the source of C2CAM heard after 0606, tho there are surely other 1220s with it (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. TA carrier search, Nov 1 at 0451-0456 UT: JBA on 693, 774, 783, 882, 954, 963 [these two adjacent to my 960 local but ~90 degrees away], 1053, 1215, 1413, 1422, 1503 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. TP carrier search, Nov 1 at 1248-1252 UT: JBA on 702, 738, 774, 882. 774 definitely from NW = Japan, but 702 and 738 imply NSW and Tahiti (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1630, Nov 1 at 0613 UT, as 1640 KZLS local splash relents a bit (change from lo-fi ag-talk to hier-fi true oldies has increased that problem), I am hearing not one but two stations in Spanish, ID sounded like XEXJ but maybe I am not fully awake as that leads nowhere. Per listings the two would be KRND in Wyoming, and XEUT in BCN, and they are somewhat separable (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 9625, Nov 1 at 1345, low audible heterodyne (LAH) and bit of modulation from one of them. Hmmm, CBCNQ Sackville was always off-frequency; has it been destroyed yet, a year after final final?

Looking for clews in HFCC, finds Channel Africa in Lozi, which is likely one of them, probably long-path, but what else? Only other entry is VOR in DRM from Kaliningrad, no way. A good example of the limitations of HFCC, which ignores Latin America and Taiwan, which Aoki does not: Could be R. Fides, Bolivia, recently reported active here; but more likely RTI warming up for Vietnamese at 1400, another perpetual off-frequency one (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 15400, Nov 1 at 1338, good open carrier until 1343*. Possibly HCJB Australia [q.v.] tho HFCC and Aoki B13 have nothing on 15400 between HCJB until 1300 and BBC Ascension from 1700 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Glenn Hauser logs October 31-November 1, 2013

** BRAZIL. 9665.46, Nov 1 at 0006, surprisingly strong signal sounded Chinesish for a moment, but then Brazuguese with time check for ``22 horas e 6 minutos`` (rather than half a dozen minutes). And ``endereço postal`` of Caixa Postal 2004, [missed postal code, but per WRTH it`s 888340-000], Camboriú, Santa Catarina, i.e. R. Voz Missionária. SBOB, strongest Brazilian on band, way ahead of 9819v (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. 4800, Oct 31 at 2347, very poor signal seems Chinese, as befitting the 100 kW CNR1 at Geermu; once I make sure it is not // local 960 KGWA, i.e. fifth harmonic, which gets no more exotic than an occasional PSA in Spanish. Not uncommon signal along the grayline, on air some 22 hours per day, and this is before India comes on (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 5040, Oct 31 at 2349, RHC English transmitter with heavy rumble and squeal on the modulation, and the carrier also wobbling severely. Can`t they tell something is wrong? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA [non]. 9490, Nov 1 at 0005, again no R. República this early, and the DentroCuban Jamming Command acknowledges this by running only lite pulsing in standby mode (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** EGYPT. 9900, Oct 31 at 2058 past 2102 and still but weaker with flutter at 2152, open carrier/dead air. Hey, I bet it`s Cairo with standard programming tactic as 9900 is an old frequency of theirs. Checking HFCC B-13: Yes, 2115-2245 in English to Europe, 200 kW, 325 degrees from Abis.

What about the other English broadcasts USward? 2115-2245 also shown on 11890; 2300-2430 now listed on both 9965 and 11530 --- pick one? The 0200-0330 Dead Air Service still on 9720. Also look out for 9905, 02-07 in Arabic, 250 kW, 315 from Abis to Europe and ENAm (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 6185, Nov 1 at 0000, Mexican NA signifying XEPPM is officially signing on now for its six-hour SW service; but do they really turn it on earlier? Fair with ACI already from stronger 6180 Brasil (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NICARAGUA [non?]. 8989-USB, Oct 31 at 2348, very poor signal, Spanish with didactic tone, mentions ``los creyentes`` (believers), so presumably the so-called ``Predicador Pescador`` allegedly from in or near Nicaragua on a boat (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NORTH AMERICA. Pirate search on Hallowe`en starts early and ends early for me:

6850-AM, Oct 31 at 2351, some very weak music here, and that`s all. Radio Free Whatever per this thread:
http://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,13546.0.html

6925-USB, Nov 1 at 0014, fair signal with spooky music. Renegade Radio, say these threaders:
http://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,13551.0.html

6975.46-AM, Nov 1 at 0012, good signal and modulation, only some bonker evitable from the lo side; playing ``Jeepers, Creepers``; by 0016 scary orchestral music, familiar from some movie soundtrack, plus wailing. By far the best signal so far this evening, but checked later, no reports of 6975 or 6975.5 on HFU. There were some in previous months including Radio Free Whatever, Boom Box Radio (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PERU [non]. My porch-monitoring session is an hour earlier than usual to avoid the trick-or-treaters, as it isn`t dark yet when my closest streetlight emits a burst of wideband RF noise at 2344 UT Oct 31 with a clear sky, firing its starter.

From tentative B-13 registrations, I was expecting R. Chaski, 5980 to become blocked at 00-01 by VOA Tibetan via SRI LANKA, plus the inevitable ChiCom jamming. Thus I am not surprised at 0001 Nov 1 to hear not Spanish but fair signal in some tonal language, not Chinese, so it must really be VOA/SL. I can`t detect R. Chaski under it, but will still be able to time its cutoffs after 0100 when the Tibetan hour radio war is over, altho I don`t get back in time for that tonight (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TURKEY. 5960, Oct 31 at 2346, Turkish pop song in minor key (natch), as VOT is confirmed back on B-season frequency for 2300 English to Europe and North America (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U K [non]. 15335, Oct 31 at 2358, Bow Bells, fair with flutter. BBCWS news from 0000 and also on // 15755 which is slightly stronger. HFCC shows both at 00-02; 15335, 100 kW, 13 degrees from SINGAPORE, and 15755, 250 kW, 25 degrees from THAILAND. Both inadvertently aim onward beyond east Asia to North America. Isn`t there any way to stop the signals from getting this far? We aren`t supposed to listen to BBC on SW over here! So I tune on (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1693 monitoring: confirmed first airing Thursday Oct 31 at 2101:29 on WTWW-1 9479. Confirmed second airing just before 0328 UT Friday on WWRB 3195, back on winter channel.

** U S A. 3215, Oct 31 at 2350 looking for another rant from Dave, but instead it`s heavy but primitive organ music --- for Hallowe`en, or regular filler? Recheck at 0003 November 1, it`s off the air, not on 3195 either yet, and 3185 BS is on as usual. Rerecheck at 0017 organ is back on 3215, and still at 0026 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5110v-CUSB, Nov 1 at 0024, WBCQ is again playing back an elder `Allan Weiner Worldwide`, apparently from September since he mentions that Jennifer died ``early last month``. With Mel on the phone, he was about to read an email from Karen, musing on how few/many YLs listen to SW, when interrupted by another phone call. Just like live radio (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
