Glenn Hauser logs April 7, 2014
** AUSTRALIA. 15400, April 7 at 1210, HCJB prélude IDs and music, fair signal but SSOB at this hour, 1215 opening to SE Asia, ``Gott sei die Ehre`` instrumental hymn but not Family Radio, into Indonesian; 1231 unfamiliar hymn in Inggeris. This transmission is 1210-1300 only, but there are two others on 15400, one closing at 1130 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** AUSTRALIA [and non]. 12085v, April 7 at 1222, weak RA to Asia also has a wobbling low audible heterodyne (LAH) --- could it be Mongolia, which supposedly stops the frequency at 1100 when RA starts it? Nothing else listed in Aoki, but HFCC shows also SLBC Trinco at 13-14 in Chinese, which would be inadvisable and probably wooden. Het could always be a ute too (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BANGLADESH. 15505, April 7 from *1354.6, JBA carrier from BB, 1358 IS, mistimesignal ending at 1359:50.5 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. 15195, April 7 at 1213, poor signal as band is barely open, sounds like Firedrake, but too weak to be positive; CNR1 jamming later as usual, and might have coincidentally provided similar music. At 11-14, 15195 bears RFA Tibetan via UAE the first hour, Tajikistan the rest.
13830, April 7 at 1349, CNR1 jammer, good with flutter and noise
13970, April 7 at 1348, CNR1 jammer, VG with flutter
14750, April 7 at 1348, CNR1 jammer, VG with flutter
14870, April 7 at 1348, CNR1 jammer, merely good with flutter
15115, April 7 at 1350, CNR1 jammer, very good with target CCI
15195, April 7 at 1349, CNR1 jammer, good with flutter
15265, April 7 at 1349, CNR1 jammer, good plus het jammer
15560, April 7 at 1349, CNR1 jammer, very poor with VOT het on hi side
None in the 10s, 12s, 16s, 17s, 18s by 1350 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 15370, April 7 at 1309, RHC Spanish here // stronger 15340, and missing from 13780. Another error or QSY? Nothing wrong with keeping 13780. Then checked all the other frequencies, finding these on: 17730, 17580, 15230 (JBM), 12010, 11860, 11760. But also missing from 11750. At 1317 can tell that 9550 is still on colliding with Asians, but nothing audible on 9540. Furthermore, 15340 and 15370 produce a leapfrog mixing product weakly audible on 15400 at 1309 April 7 after HCJB is off. None heard on 15310.
BTW, Arnie won`t have to cope with WHRI on 17730, as Ivo Ivanov reports WHRI has moved to 21600 starting at 1400 Sundays (1500 Saturdays, 1600 M-F) --- but not yet: April 7 at 1620 check it`s still on 17730 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GREECE. 7450 & 7475, April 7 at 0517, neither H.R. frequency on the air this morning (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KOREA SOUTH. 12923, April 7 at 1223, weak but barely readable CQ CQ CQ marker from HLW2. Rodolfo Tizzi in Uruguay produced a YouTube of this as HLW, Seoul Coastal Radio (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 700, April 7 at 1243 UT, fútbol news about Spain: do Mexicans really care that much? 1245 attributed to Noticias M-E-X, federal PSA, 1247 local DJ mentions Parral twice, and FM 90.3, hi temp to be 26 today. Poor signal but steady from the WSW, i.e. XEGD, La Poderosa [not very], Hidalgo del Parral, Chihuahua, 5/1 kW per Cantú. No sign of SS KHSE from The Metroplex yet (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PERU. 5980, April 7 at 0102, JBA carrier from R. Chaski, cuts off at 0107:35* which is 5.5 seconds later than yesterday. Time marches on toward 0108 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SARAWAK [non]. 15420, April 7 at 1211, very poor signal with talk, hardly improving by 1230.8*, presumed R. Free Sarawak, which was taking a one-week break to resume today after a change of (studio) location. We`ve confirmed that the previous transmitter site has resumed, i.e. Palauig, PHILIPPINES, of R. Veritas Asia, at 1100-1230; altho their other clandestine relay, R. Free Chosun, now on 15630 at 1300-1500, has moved to Uzbekistan for the summer, but will probably go back to Palauig for B-14 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TIBET [non]. 15525, April 7 at 1401, V. of Tibet fair via MADAGASCAR, jump to 15530 at 1407; no CNR1 jamming audible, but uncovers a JBA signal on 15525, presumably that (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TURKEY [and non]. 9770 // 9870, April 7 at 0058, TRT IS prior to 0100 Spanish hour, stronger and clearer on 9770, 290 degrees, like last summer, with 20 degrees of azimuth advantage for us over 9870 at 270; is SLBC Trincomalee in Hindi also on 9770 after 0115 as in HFCC A-14? Did not recheck, but looks like the service really on 11905, which HFCC claims is still Ekala. Also in HFCC, you`d never know that 9870 TRT collides with AIR VBS, 500 kW from Bengaluru starting at 0015 as in Aoki.
15450, April 7 at 1230, JBA signal, presumably VOT in English as scheduled for summer toward UK and US; 1310 improved to very poor during music (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1715 monitoring: confirmed on Area 51 via WBCQ 5110v-CUSB starting a tad early at 0259 UT Monday April 7, also on webcast. Next:
Tuesday 1100 on WRMI-10, 9955
Wednesday 0630 & 1430 on Hamburger Lokalradio, 7265-CUSB
Wednesday 1300 on WRMI-11, 9955
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9475, April 7 at 1315, WTWW still not on day frequency, audiblizing weak R. Australia, until *1316 WTWW blasts on with SFAW (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 7506.6, April 7 after 0100, WRNO still absent (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 11715, April 7 after 0100, no recurrence of KJES on its day frequency at night (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 740, April 7 at 1240 UT, Houston ad, Gallery Furniture, traffic on the 610 and Katy Freeway, making 3 Hz SAH with KRMG Tulsa OK which I have carefully nulled. Usually it`s too strong on day pattern to get anything past it, but SRS is helping KTRH Houston. KTRH day and night patterns both have big lobes to its southwest and deep nulls toward us; out of whack? Meanwhile KRMG is running a political ad, ``don`t send our jobs to Texas`` sponsored by the anti-tax oil & gas industry which controls Oklahoma (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 890, April 7 at 1251 UT, classic ``Release Me, Let Me Go``, looping NW/SE, and KTLR OKC to the SSE can be more or less nulled, but music quickly fades out. Presumably KJME Fountain CO, nostalgia format (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1140, April 7 at 1300 UT, tune-in catches partial ID by YL in English, ``Liberty, and 102.9 FM``, into ABC News, fadeout. So KCXL Liberty MO which does have such an FM translator duplicator, and which I recently confirmed to be in Spanish before 1300 UT. Wish I had heard the transition (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
This report despatched at 1719 UT April 7

Voce della Russia, chiuso anche lo streaming
Come gli ascoltatori della Rete Mondiale Virtuale avranno notato, le trasmissioni in streaming della Voce della Russia sono mute dal 5 aprile. Via Twitter e via Facebook, la redazione italiana conferma la chiusura definitiva delle trasmissioni audio da Mosca, mentre proseguiranno gli aggiornamenti del sito rilanciati dagli stessi social network. Si chiude definitivamente la storia nata con Radio Mosca, nonostante le promesse degli organi statali russi di conservare la diffusione via Internet e via satellite di un programma audio. La notizia, diffusa il 6 aprile e subito segnalata al Portale Italradio dai nostri lettori Massimo da Gorizia e Roberto Furlan che ringraziamo sentitamente, ha colto di sorpresa tutti: dopo il sibillino messaggio via Twitter che annunciava la fine della redazione italiana il prossimo 30 aprile, la situazione sembrava essere meno grave del temuto. I test di funzionamento della Rete Mondiale Virtuale, tuttavia, avevano rilevato che dal 5 aprile lo streaming del programma italiano era muto, ma quello di altre lingue era perfettamente funzionante. In una nota, Italradio rileva che "Da Mosca giunge una pessima notizia. Smentendo le assicurazioni date dagli organi statali russi preposti alla comunicazione di massa, le trasmissioni audio della redazione italiana della Voce della Russia sono state chiuse senza alcun preavviso. Perdiamo una delle poche voci in italiano del panorama informativo mondiale in cambio di un nuovo sito tra i tanti che già ci sono nella nostra lingua. Italradio ringrazia i redattori che per molti anni hanno costruito un rapporto solido e proficuo con gli ascoltatori, certa che i frutti che ha dato dureranno ancora a lungo nonostante la fine del rapporto".

Glenn Hauser logs April 5-6, 2014
** ALBANIA. 9850, April 5 at 2356, tune-in to end of R. Tirana`s Albanian hour to N America, just in time to hear Sousa`s ``Stars & Stripes Forever`` march cross-fade into presumed Albanian national anthem, an emblem of Albanian-American friendship? 2358:35 on to R. Tirana interval signal. Reception rather poor with fading, in degraded propagation but presumably will normally be equivalent to English broadcast at 0130 except UT Sundays on same facilities 5 kHz lower. Some weaker signals plus/minus 5 kHz now are not a problem (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. 11856.4, April 6 at 0015, Brazuguese religious talk, 0018 mentions flagship show `Com a Mãe Aparecida`, as R. Aparecida remains way off-frequency. Good signal but slight het from something really on 11855, which per Aoki could only be RVA, Philippines in Sinhala until 0030. When I usually log ZYE954 an hour later, there is no het; as I look up call in WRTH, also see power as only 1 kW, but must be more now from a new 10? kW transmitter, but which, like most Brazilians, can`t keep to proper frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. 16100, April 6 at 1409, open carrier, good with flutter, obviously a CNR1 jammer without the modulation; probably failed to turn it off at 1400. No others found in cursory bandscan 12-18 MHz, but it`s early in the hour. However, 16100 off when rechecked about a semihour later. See also TIBET [non] 15525 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 13605, April 6 at 0021, pulse-jamming against nothing, as true to form, the DentroCuban Jamming Command overruns any R. Martí frequency to the detriment of any collateral stations, which now would be AIR DRM in English from Bengaluru at 2245-0045. Noise vs Noise!
5855, April 6 at 0532, spy numbers again as often during this hour abutting 5850 WRMI, Spanish ``80382`` YL uttered once, back to digital data bursts (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** EAST TURKISTAN. 17820, April 6 at 0518, good signal with flutter, harmonious song, 0520 German, 0528 Chinese words and song. It`s the SSOB, // second SSOB on 17720, but not synch, with 17720 about 2 seconds behind 17820. CRI German service is at 05-07, via Urumqi on 17820 and Kashgar on 17720, both 500 kW on 308 degree beams to Europe; a nice example of spring/summer transpolar propagation breaking thru on higher bands from mid-day to mid-nite; but why the disparity in strength? Urumqi is further north and east (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GREECE. 7475, April 6 at 0008, Greek talk on fair signal, but nothing on 11645, and 9420 still occupied by Iran instead. If it`s active, you never know whether Helleniki Radiophonia will be on 7475 or 7450, but better to avoid WRMI on 7455. Recheck at 0529 April 6: still only 7475 heard, no 9420 or 11645 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDIA. 15035-15040-15045, April 6 before and after 1300, AIR Burmese service with nice music, only fair but better than PCJ on 13720 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also CUBA 13605
** NEW ZEALAND. 11725, April 6 at 0523, RNZI on AM, but side tuning finds a noise envelope above and below, as if DRM is mixed in. Separate DRM transmitter now centered on 11690, which is an alternately registered frequency to ex-11675 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NIGERIA. 15120-AM, April 6 at 0516, VON is P-F, talking drum, in English about some food festival; only occasionally audible, due to propagation, and/or operation? Now it`s a bit stronger than 15190 WRMI (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PERU. 5980, April 6 until 0107:29.5*, R. Chaski continues precessing its autocutoff later and later than ever before in previous cycles, 6 seconds later than yesterday (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SPAIN. 17850, Saturday April 5 at 2005-2100, not finding a suitable SW signal with nap-music, I stop here as REE`s `Tablero Deportivo` tho with only an occasional bit of music, is super-soporific for me despite yells of ``goooooaaaaallll``, etc., presumably mostly fútbol, and sufficient to blot out other noise in the room with my headphones on (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TAIWAN [non]. 13720, Sunday April 6 at 1225, weak DRM noise here, i.e. Spain as registered 11-13 daily; *1229 carrier, 1230 PCJ Radio International IS and opening, 1231 Andy Sennitt`s Asian news segment; 1245 ad for a SW radio, the Keith Perron presumably with `Happy Station` segment --- but it`s all too weak to copy and getting worse as the hour progresses. At least there`s no AM ACI or CCI.
Latest new frequency, changing every week, as 13655 had North Korean QRM last week from 13650, but going head-on to DRM?? Anyhow, it`s not for us and maybe OK in SE Asia, but Wolfgang Büschel reports blocked in Europe by the DRM. We learnt too late that this week there was an additional broadcast on same April 5. If PCJRI want to be heard in N America, will have to get back on WRMI in our mornings --- tho really on there every week UT Saturdays at 0100-0200 on 9955, but is it the same program? BTW, several have complained that the PCJ podcasts have not been updated for a month (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** THAILAND. 15590, April 6 at 0023, another try at R. Thailand`s alleged N American service in English: JBA signal presumably this. Again check 15565 for VOA from same Udorn site, and slightly stronger one there, but seems a mix. The stronger could well be CNR1 jamming instead of Thailand. No change at 0030 when HSK9 slews from -24 to +8 on the same antenna, i.e. azimuths from east coast 6 degrees to west coast 38 degrees, 32 degrees apart. This is a good example of why only two frequency changes per year are insufficient on hi-latitude paths. 15590 may well pick up as we get into summer, but what about spring? Not to mention, Thailand failing to insist upon relays via Greenville as partial payback for IBB relays via Udorn (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TIBET [non]. 15525, April 6 at 1404, V. of Tibet underway via MADAGASCAR with good signal and no jamming audible, but at *1408 jumps to 15530, uncovering very weak 15525 signal, presumably CNR1 jammer, escaped (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1715 monitoring: confirmed on WTWW-2, 9930, Saturday April 5 at 2329.5, excellent signal. Also very good on WTWW-1, 5830, but UT Sunday April 6 at 0401 dumped off the air for a minute just as WOR was starting (this also happened last week, why?). At least two more transmission interruptions followed at 0408, and 0429 missing the ending.
Meanwhile, UT Sunday at 0030 on WRMI-14, 9495, last week`s WOR 1714 replayed. Poor signal, with even 9500 Oman stronger and ACIing. Preceded by Wavescan at 0000. Next WORs:
UT Monday 0300 on Area 51 via WBCQ 5110v-CUSB
Tuesday 1100, Wednesday 1300 on WRMI 9955
Wednesday 0630 & 1430 on Hamburger Lokalradio 7265-CUSB
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. 17730, April 6 at 1402, WHRI preacher in English colliding with RHC in Spanish making SAH about 7 Hz apart --- as I feared from registrations showing WHRI starts 17730 at 1400 while we know RHC has been running it until 1500 but failing to register anything with HFCC. Ironically, the two strongest signals on band (SSOB) are both on the same frequency! alternately dominating as they fade up and down. Yet, no collision heard on weekdays. WHR.org program sked shows Angel 1 starts at *1400 on Sat & Sun, *1600 on weekdays. What would Arnie do? RHC was there first. BTW, don`t type whri.org lest you reach the Women`s Health Research Institute (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

New Retro Radio series is popular
You know, 1953 was a really big year. Baby boomers bounced into the world, the Korean War ended and the Cold War started....and it's proving a popular year for our new series Retro Radio.
Instead of looking way way back into the 1920's and 1930's, this series features a time familiar to many people today, and already the #1 feature at www.radioheritage.net so far in 2014 is Retro Radio Japan 1953, followed within the Top 10 features by Retro Radio Australia, New Zealand Pacific 1953....so come and have a look at the radio stations that ruled the airwaves just over 60 years ago.
You'll find Brazil, Iron Curtain Europe, Nordic Europe, Canada, Caribbean, Africa, Middle East/Central Asia and many others..............and for some even more recent memories, Retro Radio Hawaii 1961, Idaho 1963 and Texas 1963.
Enjoy them all today, and see the top books, music and movies of 1953 as well, so you can get a good feel for what life was like listening to the radio in those exciting times.
Keep an eye out for a new series of features soon, we call them Free Europe 1953 and there is one covering AM, another FM and a third covering shortwave.
The Free Europe group along with Nordic Europe and Iron Curtain Europe completes our coverage of Europe in 1953.
With current events on the borderlands between Russia and the European Union, it's fascinating to look back 60 years, shortwave may have almost disappeared, but the tensions remain just as real.

Propagazione o modifica del balun per la windom da 4:1 a 6:1?

Radio Gramox
Più volte in queste settimane ho provato a sintonizzare Radio Gramox dalla Finlandia su 25760 kHz, visto che si sente Mikes su 25000 abbastanza regolarmente, ma senza esito. Infatti, il sito gramox.fi riporta testualmente:
"Shortwave AM 25760 kHz (PAUSED/TAUOLLA)"
Tauolla secondo Google Traduttore significa "prendendo una pausa".
Insomma, è inattiva.

** ALBANIA. 9845, April 5 at 0124, R. Tirana is already on with IS prior to 0130 English; still good signal for A-14 and no QRM.
It`s a bit shocking to realize that Albania is one of only three European countries left still broadcasting directly to North America in English on SW --- along with Spain and Romania. Or we could push it by adding the weekly Mighty KBC from Netherlands via Germany; and bicontinental Turkey, but really from studios and transmitters in Asia (Minor) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BANGLADESH. 15105, April 5 at 1222, open carrier is already on with heavy flutter, but good signal; 1223 ~1 kHz tone; 1227.5 Bangladesh Betar IS; time signal ends at 1229:40.5, opening English, best heard in a long time, and it`s almost readable with some concentration. Newscast has big item about scouting; 1236 music break; 1237 News comment`ry about Vitamin A campaign for children; 1240 ID ``Bangladesh Bétar``; 1246 YL talking about trade; 1250 songs; 1259 sign-off.
[non: Meanwhile at 1242:20 UT April 5, I log an Enid earthquake; the bed shakes and something in the room shifts, making a noise. There have been scads of minor EQs lately in Garfield and neighboring counties, but no one wants to admit that fracking is causing them. This is the first one I have been privileged to experience for months. USGS infohttp://earthquaketrack.com/quakes/2014-04-05-12-42-17-utc-3-8-2
shows it was a 3.8 about halfway between Enid and Guthrie, and no tsunami warning was issued! Whew. Or here, 22 miles SE of Enid:http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/usc000p6gp#summary

15505, April 5 at 1356, BB OC, 1358 IS JBA, TS to 1359:41. For once the 15105 broadcast was better (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. 11856.5, April 5 at 0101, good signal from R. Aparecida citing long list of affiliates around the country ending with Guajaramarim; still way-off frequency but nothing to het it (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. 11764.8, April 5 at 0104, gospel music from SRDA, vs RHC 11760 splash; figured another Brazilian had to be off frequency so measured it too (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CANARY ISLANDS [non]. 6205, April 5 at 0138, very poor carrier with bit of music, probably Horizon FM relay via Ireland(?). Nothing on 6245 or 6255. Jan Reint, Zwolle, Netherlands, at 2043 April 4 told the BDX group that he`s been hearing it all week in the evenings on 6205 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Only one standout WOOB CNR1 jammer this morning:
16160, April 5 at 1329, CNR1 jammer, very good with flutter; none in the 17s, 18s, 19s, 14s, 12s, 10s
15570, April 5 at 1334, CNR1 jammer, very poor with VOT het on lo side
13830, April 5 at 1336, CNR1 jammer, and noise, poor with flutter
11805 & 11785, April 5 at 1337, CNR1 jammers, very good with flutter
11640 & 11605, April 5 at 1338, CNR1 jammers, good with flutter, CCI
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** DIEGO GARCIA [and non]. 12759-USB, April 5 at 0125, AFN barely audible with rock music, 0131:40 OM DJ seems with phone numbers, for requests? along with YL, sports news; 0139 a bit stronger when back to music. R2, S1 at best, but I`ll take it. I check this several times a week when I am porch-monitoring around 0100, presumed time when the day frequency come up, but usually nothing. Correlates with 11905 Sri Lanka, now putting in a good but fluttery signal (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GREECE. 7450, April 5 at 0120, Greek music too close to WRMI 7455; Helleniki Radiophonia has been missing most of the time for several days at random chex of all its frequencies. 9420 still missing, ceded to audible Iran?
Apparently only running one transmitter at most, last reported with two at once, briefly on March 31: John Babbis in Maryland, who never misses a day monitoring Avlis, but only from 1900 past 0200 UT, posted these results the last few days:
April 4-5: 7450 23-02+
April 3-4: nothing
April 2-3: 7450 23-02+
April 1-2: 15630 19-23, 7450 23-02+
March 31-April 1: 15630 22-23, AND 7475 21-02+

``NEW PUBLIC BROADCASTER NERIT TO OFFICIALLY LAUNCH ON APRIL 27, SAYS KAPSIS --- NERIT, the public broadcaster that will replace ERT, will begin broadcasting on April 27, Deputy Culture Minister Pantelis Kapsis said on Tuesday. Pilot broadcasts will start next month, Kapsis told Vima FM. The minister, who is in charge of overseeing the launch of the new service, said that NERIT's board is currently considering proposals for new programs. Kapsis added that 30 million euros had been paid out so far in compensation to ERT employees that were sacked when the broadcaster was shut down in June. The remaining compensation will be paid once the Finance Ministry gives its approval, said Kapsis.`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDIA. UNIDENTIFIED. 15770, April 5 at 1222, open carrier with heavy flutter, fairly good signal. Leave a receiver on it and never any modulation until finally off at 1249:07*. Could it be WRMI warming up for *1300 Brother Scare? NO, not with flutter like that, quite similar to the transpolar Bangladesh signal on 15105. (And WRMI comes on 15770 at *1256 with steady carrier, starting the BS already at 1258.) Only other 15770 in HFCC is Cairo at 14-16 in Pashto, but Aoki has the answer, yet another case of an HFCC boycotter:
All India Radio, 250 kW, 132 degrees from Aligarh at 1115-1215 Tamil & 1215-1245 Telugu! Now all they need to do is add modulation and they`ll be in business. Condolences to the Telugu deprived of their broadcast today (and often?) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 710, Saturday April 5 at 1206 UT, XEDP with same sequence as yesterday: Mexican NA, `Soy Soldado`, Chihuahua anthem, full ID for AM & FM, then inserting a brief prayer, finally 1214 over to the Low German preacher. (But mostly its format is not religious, rather ranchera) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6935-USB, April 5 at 0135 as I tune in the only pirate heard for several days, first words heard are m----- f-----, which I find rather crude, tho I`m no prude, and into heavy music; hard to tune in exactly but maybe closer to 6936.

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 1640, April 5 at 0524 UT I find local KZLS in open carrier/dead air. So I dare to turn up the volume and turn the DX-398 around to find what else I can hear. There are two SAHs, one fast and one slow, and two audios --- one with Spanish music, which would be KBJA in Sandy, Utah, and one English sports, which would be WTNI in Biloxi MS; 0529 UT promo for ESPN. In fact, I can still hear them without nulling the KZLS carrier. But 0530 UT, KZLS resumes with Blaze Radio ``news``. Unfortunately KZLS dead air is sporadic, altho not unusual, unlike KGWA 960 which more than half the time provides a Fox-hole at 0500-0505 UT (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 90.1, April 5 at 0459 UT, I hear a new ID from our only classical-format radio station, long known as KCSC-FM: now it`s KUCO!
Website shows message from manager: ``The University of Central Oklahoma, our licensee, requested that we change our call letters to KUCO to more closely align with the University's abbreviation. The change is effective April 1. Therefore, you will hear us refer to our new call letters and see KUCO reflected on our website, Facebook page, etc. Changing out all our copy will occur over a period of weeks. Yours in music! Bradford Ferguson``
http://www.kcscfm.com now forwards to http://www.kucofm.com
Wikipedia is right up to date with the historical background I was about to summarize:
``KUCO was originally a student-run classical music station, KCSC, when it signed on in 1966. KCSC adopted its name from when the university was known as Central State College. When the school was elevated to university status as Central State University, it tried to change the calls to KCSU, but those calls were already being used by Colorado State's student station.
In 1978, it built a new 400-foot tower and expanded its signal to 100,000 watts, extending its coverage to nearly all of central Oklahoma. The station started becoming a more professional operation in 1983, and by 1985 had become Oklahoma City's main NPR station. Oklahoma City had been one of the largest cities without a full-market NPR station. Previously, parts of the city got grade B coverage from Oklahoma State's KOSU and the University of Oklahoma's KGOU.
In 1993, however, KGOU built a repeater in Spencer to better serve Oklahoma City. Central and OU agreed to adopt non-conflicting schedules in 1996. Although KCSC was the more powerful station, it dropped all NPR programming to become an all-classical station, while KGOU became central Oklahoma's main outlet for NPR programming. KBCW signed on in 1999.
On April 1, 2014, KCSC changed its call letters to KUCO to better reflect its association with the University of Central Oklahoma (which adopted its current name in 1990).``
I`ve wondered why they didn`t do this long ago? Perhaps KUCO was tied up by some other station. KCSC also was confusing for websearchers, because a student (once carrier-current?) station at Chico State College, California, also calls itself unofficially KCSC, now apparently only a webcaster: http://kcscradio.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PERU. 5980, April 5 at 0059, R. Chaski carrier with some music audible, cutoff at 0107:23.5*, which is 6 seconds later than yesterday; now before the cuton of my sunset-latening streetlight at *0110:19.5 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SAUDI ARABIA. 21660, April 5 at 1332, very poor signal from algo: nothing in Aoki, but HFCC has Riyadh in Urdu at 12-15 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 15770, April 5 at *1256, WRMI on with steady carrier, 1258 BS undermodulating already, interrupted by Bob Zanotti dotless ID at hourtop; retunecaross 1303 finds BS mentioning that he will remain on 11565 only at ``one thousand to twelve hundred``, apparently due to insufficient funds. Missed whether that refer to WRMI or WHRI, both of which have been Overcome. Must be WHRI which is A-14 registered 08-12, while WRMI is available 22-06. See also INDIA (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SPAIN. 21515, April 5 at 1332, JBA signal but // stronger 21610 & 21640 REE. Don`t usually hear this, not daily? HFCC has it registered available 7 days at 09-17, 161 degrees. Aoki shows: M-F 11-15, Sat 11-14, Sun 11-17 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 11715, April 5 at 0105, very surprised to hear instantly-recognizable KJES here at night on its morning frequency --- mistake, or experiment? Guy in gringo Spanish with Bible quotations, soon joined by kidchoir, VG signal. Not on 7555. It could work, as HFCC shows nothing at all on 11715 between 00 and 04. Oh oh, there is something, according to Aoki, AIR at 0130-0230 for all its Nepali DRM listener, but why tell HFCC? If AIR on, KJES would have had no problem overcoming it here. Still going at 0125 and presumably until 0230.
11715, April 5 at 1338 VG, KJES still here when it is supposed to be, catechisms in English (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 7506.6, April 5 circa 0105, WRNO still AWOL (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. 12105, Saturday April 5 at 1252 check, WTWW-3 is already on with Russian Bible, before usual *1300. For how long? Possibly another of their occasional all-night broadcasts also in other languages. At 1252, WTWW-1 is still on night frequency 5830, while WTWW-2 is on neither 5085 nor 9930 yet --- fortunately for T8WH PALAU which stays on 9930 until 1400 weekends and now with sufficient signal (Glenn hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

STF Radio International this weekend via KBC
Last week, I received an email from STF Radio International, a new venture that broadcasts digital modes over shortwave (similar to VOA Radiograms). I asked for a description of their mission--here's their reply:
"STF Radio is primarily a narrowcasting project, a means to deliver specialized content to specific audiences in remote locations. And due to the nature of shortwave, we're inviting the world to listen in.
The (possible) series of special multimedia broadcasts will continue the exploration of new possibilities with aging technology. We are currently preparing a 1-hour program for broadcast later in April. Depending on audience response, there may be additional programs throughout the year.
We will continue running tests leading up to the 1-hour show. The second round of tests will begin soon, with another segment of digital modes confirmed for this weekend on The Mighty KBC, same time/frequency as last weekend."
If you would like to decode STF Radio International's broadcast, tune in The Might KBC on 7,375 kHz, April 6, 2014 from 00:00 - 2:00 UTC (Saturday evening in North America).
The latest information about STF Radio broadcasts can be found on their website: http://stfradio.com/

VOA Radiogram, April 5-6, includes the VOA English transmission schedule as a table
VOA Radiogram, April 5-6, 2014, will be all-MFSK32. It will include four images and the VOA English transmission schedule as an Flmsg CSV table.
Details at...
http://voaradiogram.net/post/81671836096/voa-radiogram-5-6-april-2014-includes-the-voa-english
A quick analysis of last weekend's "battle of the 100-wpm modes" resulted in then following average of correct characters as reported by listeners...
MFSK32 98%
MT63-1000L 90%
Thor25x4 86%
PSKR125 74%
The MT63-1000L would have had an even better result if it had not been for four occasions of no decode at all. In situations where any MT63-1000L text was received, its performance was very close to that of MFSK32. MFSK32 does have the advantage of being about 20 words per minute faster than MT63-1000L. Furthermore, MFSK32, unlike MT63-1000L, can be used for images.

Glenn Hauser logs April 3-4, 2014
** AFGHANISTAN [non]. 15090, April 4 at 0055, very poor talk, from R. Ashna via THAILAND, which starts IBB`s 11 broadcast hours per day on this aero frequency at 0030 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ALGERIA [non]. 13820, April 3 at 1933, Qur`an on VP signal with remnant pulse jamming from CUBA on ex-Martí frequency. HFCC shows TDA via TDF FRANCE at 18-20 in French, which of course means, mostly Arabic. If prior conduct is any indication, the DentroCuban Jamming Command will never turn off its jammers completely from an ex-Martí frequency; only other station foolish enough to use it now is Egypt at 16-18 in Urdu (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** AUSTRALIA. 15400, April 4 at 1234, good with heavy flutter, hymn in English ``You Raise Me Up``; 1236 unknown language but mentions twice or thrice ``Making Life Better``. It`s HCJB, per HFCC in Indonesian at 1210-1245 daily but per Aoki in Rawang at 1230-1300 daily, a minority language in Myanmar. 15400 at 1259, signing off HCJB Australia for Southeast Asia; ``these programs first heard at 2345 on this same frequency, 15400`` and off at 1300*.
15450, April 4 at 1401, HCJB ID and inspirational music prélude, ``commencing shortly``, 1405 greeting South Asia for next sesquihour in English. Fair signal with flutter almost steady enough to be a subaudible heterodyne, but nothing else scheduled here (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BANGLADESH. 15105, April 4 at 1238, BB fair with flutter, music and English talk about education, but hard to comprehend more than a word here and there.
15505, April 4 at 1356, BB on with tone, 1357.5 the exotic 11-note IS, timesignal ending at 1359:42 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. 9664.75, April 4 at 0106, poor with music, Voz Missionária has varied only this far at the moment instead of - 2 kHz from 9665. Nothing around to het it (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. 11856.55, April 4 at 0105, Brazuguese religious talk and prayer, good signal but R. Aparecida is way off-frequency tonight (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. CNR1 jammer survey April 4; no Firedrakes heard at all; grouped by hours here:
10960, April 4 at 1253, CNR1 jammer, very poor with flutter
12230, April 4 at 1242, CNR1 jammer, poor with flutter
12370, April 4 at 1242, CNR1 jammer, poor with flutter
12500, April 4 at 1244, CNR1 jammer, very poor with flutter
12910, April 4 at 1244, CNR1 jammer, very poor with flutter
13970, April 4 at 1244, CNR1 jammer, fair with flutter; none in 14s
11605, April 4 at 1351, CNR1 jammer, good with CCI target
11785, April 4 at 1351, CNR1 jammer, very good
11805, April 4 at 1351, CNR1 jammer, very good; none in the 10s
12230, April 4 at 1350, CNR1 jammer, very poor with flutter
13830, April 4 at 1346, CNR1 jammer, fair, and also noise jamming?
13970, April 4 at 1348, CNR1 jammer, very good
14750, April 4 at 1346, CNR1 jammer, very good
15115, 15195, 15265, April 4 at 1343, usual fixed inband CNR1 jammers
16360, April 4 at 1343, CNR1 jammer, fair
16750, April 4 at 1343, CNR1 jammer, fair
16920, April 4 at 1342, CNR1 jammer, good with flutter; none 17-20 MHz
15525, April 4 at 1404, CNR1 jammer mixing equally with V. of Tibet via MADAGASCAR, which at 1407 jumps to 15530, jammer stays on 15525
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA [and non]. 15600, April 4 at 1230, heavy RTTY QRM to a broadcaster, ``Inilah`` something, so it`s Indonesian? No, Malay from CRI via Kunming at 1230-1300 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 5025 Rebelde & 5040 RHC are both on, April 4 at 0541, unlike 24 hours earlier when 5025 was off.
5855, April 4 at 0542, digital spy bursts, YL with one Spanish number group, ``15281``, more blaats, causing lite ACI to WRMI`s new TruNews service on 5850 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** EGYPT [and non]. 11710.1, April 4 at 0101, R. Cairo provides a bit of suppressed, distorted modulation allegedly Spanish, stronger than Argentina 11710.8 or so, making big het.
12070, April 4 at 0118, R. Cairo, good level in Spanish, but extremely distorted and mixed with some second audio source and hum.
What about the third frequency for Spanish at 0045-0200? It`s 9315, unchecked tonight, but also a loser for English at 0200. The first two are Abis, the last Abu Zabaal (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GUAM. 15620, April 4 at tune-in 1229*, ``thanking you for joining us`` and off. That`s nice of them, but the joining was quite brief. HFCC shows KSDA in ``Mnw`` --- thank goodness Aoki doesn`t make us guess or look up language abbrs. --- it`s Mon, daily at 1200-1230, following Indonesian, Sundanese/Javanese from 1100. EiBi`s language lookup shows Mon as spoken by 0.8 megapeople in Myanmar and Thailand, non-abbr`d MON; that`s out of place for a block otherwise to Indonesia. But antenna swings 30 degrees further north for it, check (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KUWAIT. 21540, April 4 at 1544 tune across loud & clear signal in Arabic, better than Spain 21610 & 21640, and tune back across at 1545* R. Kuwait has just closed. Take your pick: HFCC shows -1730*, Eibi to -1745* and Aoki to -1800* (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MALI [and non]. 17630, April 4 at 1556, very poor carrier, maybe CRI Bamako relay in English just before closing. This remains scheduled at 14-16, despite CRI English also on Urumqi, East Turkistan at 12-15, thus overlapping an hour. I hear nothing but Urumqi before 1500; Mali has been low power/low modulation for years if on the air at all. Replying to my previous log, Ivo Ivanov in Bulgaria says, ``Strong carrier, but very low modulation from transmitter in Bamako`` without specifying if or when he has axually heard it on 17630. Does anyone hear an echo during the 14-15 hour? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 710, April 4 at 1205, choral NA is still playing on weak signal, fades up at 1206 for super-patriotic recitation, ``Soy Soldado``; 1209 Chihuahua anthem; 1210 full ID for XEDP Cuauhtémoc, ``La Ranchera de Cuauhtémoc``, and XHDP FM, jingle ID; 1211 choral hymn, and preacher in Plattdeutsch, a regular on this Mennonite-area station. It`s always a bit jarring to hear such a language coming out of Mexico, but neat (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PERU. 5980, April 4 at 0059, R. Chaski very poor carrier continues until autocutoff at 0107:17.5*, 11 seconds later than a binite ago; still not reset to circa 0100 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGST)
** RUSSIA. 25900, Friday April 4 at 1424, no signal from R. Magic Eye at MTUCI Moskva, but others are reporting it well into western Europe and North America, so I DX-pedition to the quieter porch for intensive monitoring starting at 1521, and immediately hear rock music with heavy beat, poor to very poor with fades, but anything audible from this 400-watt outlet is great; also QRM from something pulsing exactly 4 times per second --- radar, or local device? Seemingly not the dog fence next door. 1529 a quick announcement I mostly missed as changing antennas and receivers, nothing but more music until 1549 still a carrier but nothing audible; 1550 a JBA carrier, so fading out rather than signing off, apparently. Moscow sunset today is 1613 UT, so there should still be plenty MUF to the west.
Once again I have been comparing the DX-398 and the PL-880. RME can be heard on both, better with a less noisy reel-out antenna than a longer one also under the eaves. PL-880 gets overload QRM from some other station, so DX-398 wins. Listening in SSB mode helps a lot, and it`s AM, as equally audible on LSB and USB. Also with the DX-398, I can easily compare frequency to WWV 15000 and find that MTUCI is very slightly on the hi side of 25900 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SOUTH AFRICA. 15660, April 4 at 1557, Channel Africa IDs in English and French mixed with bird-chirp IS inherited from Radio RSA, poor until off at 1558*. Aoki shows this was really the M-F 1456-1555 [sic] Swahili service at 19 degrees from Meyerton; while HFCC rounds it to 1500-1600 at 5 degrees; split the difference (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SPAIN. 21610 & 21640, April 4 at 1545, REE with good strength but heavy echo on both, apparently long/short path (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SUDAN [non]. 15550, April 3 at 1559, strong AM signal in Arabish, causing heavy QRM to WJHR Florida which is USB only. By tuning LSB only, I can get rid of most of WJHR on the PL-880, while the DX-398 ``mirrors`` or inadequately suppresses the USB signal.
It`s R. Dabanga, via VATICAN, at 1527-1627 with perpetual companion R. Tamazuj at 1459-1527, per HFCC and Aoki. HFCC also shows ADM, DHA, UAE in Arabic on 15550 at 1300-1820 & 1920-2300, both presumably imaginary among countless wooden registrations they make (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** THAILAND. 15590, April 4 at 0053, R. Thailand is presumably the JBA carrier on its new frequency, 38 degrees to North America in English; yet 15565 bears a fair signal in Chinese, i.e. IBB from same site Udorn, at 30 degrees. Something is amiss (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TIBET [non]. 15525, April 4 at *1357:50 open carrier on from MADAGASCAR, 1400 Voice of Tibet opening, fair, no jamming; until hit by almost equal level CNR1 at 1405. At 1407 VOT jumps up to 15530, leaving the jammer behind on 15525, and they are still separate at 1423 check (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TURKEY [and non]. 15450, April 4 at 1303, JBA signal, presumed V. of Turkey`s English from 1230, useless here but maybe OK to western Europe; ACI from much stronger KSDA in Kachin on 15445; I had noted it as Burmesish (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1715 monitoring: after missing three nights, relieved to hear WWRB back on 5050, UT Friday April 4 at 0057, and still on for WOR; at 0323 check, wild preacher, but this week he wasn`t cut off until 0338 for brief announcement by Dave I couldn`t catch, respectful pause until WOR at 0339:15, joining the billboard in progress at ``International Vacuum``. Played to completion at 0407:40* and 5050 immediately off. The webcast was again at rather low level but OK if you turned up the volume. After several bufferings, lost it by 0400 when probably cut off anyway for usual Bible readings. Next:
Sat 0630 & 1430 on Hamburger Lokalradio 7265-CUSB [times shifted]
Sat 2330 on WTWW-2 9930
UT Sun 0030 on WRMI-14 9495
UT Sun 0401 on WTWW-1 5830
UT Mon 0300 on Area 51 via WBCQ 5110v-CUSB
Tue 1100 on WRMI-10 9955
Wed 0630 & 1430 on Hamburger Lokalradio 7265-CUSB [times shifted]
Wed 1300 on WRMI-11 9955
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 5050, April 4 at 0057, WWRB Global One service is back on with preacher, after missing three nights; at 0114, both 9370 and 3185, the BS frequencies, are off. Apparently there are not quite enough active transmitters to go around (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 7506.6, April 4 at 0115, mark down another missing transmission from WRNO. It`s often gone for a week or two, then shows up again. What exactly is the problem? (Glenn Hauser, OK, D XLISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 15550, WJHR now has co-channel collision: see SUDAN [non]
** U S A. 860, April 4 at 1210 UT, no doubt KKOW Pittsburgh KS, as `CBS World News Roundup` concludes with an item that a super-accurate new atomic clock has been installed at NIST Boulder. So I guess WWV will be even more precise now (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** VATICAN [non]. 11730, April 4 at 0119 Vatican Radio IS briefly, fair signal, ``Laudetur Iesus Christus`` and into S Asian language, sitar music. HFCC shows 0120 is when it transitions from Tamil to Malayalam via UZBEKISTAN (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) see also SUDAN [non]
UNIDENTIFIED. 15290, April 4 at 0054 and still at 0117, heavy strong wideband noise centered here, not DRM, nor what jamming usually sounds like, but some multiplexed utility as heard on fixed bands --- here in the middle of the 19m SWBC band. HFCC scheduled at 0030-0100 is VOA Specialish English via Tinang, PHILIPPINES, possibly out of whack or subject to a new form of jamming? Certainly not benign beeping as in a Radiogram. Nothing listed on 15285 or 15295 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 25000, April 4 at 1547, as MTUCI is fading out from 25900, I figure the 100-watt MIKES timesignal in Espoo, FINLAND could be audible; and there are plenty of unID signals on the 12m hamband just below. On 25000 I do detect a JBA carrier with fades; possibly pips but just too weak to tell. IIRC, the station does not ID, just pips, right? I don`t find any info about it at http://81.209.67.238/front-page
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
This report despatched at 1923 UT April 4
** ALGERIA [non]. 13820, April 3 at 1933, Qur`an on VP signal with remnant pulse jamming from CUBA on ex-Martí frequency. HFCC shows TDA via TDF FRANCE at 18-20 in French, which of course means, mostly Arabic. If prior conduct is any indication, the DentroCuban Jamming Command will never turn off its jammers completely from an ex-Martí frequency; only other station foolish enough to use it now is Egypt at 16-18 in Urdu (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** AUSTRALIA. 15400, April 4 at 1234, good with heavy flutter, hymn in English ``You Raise Me Up``; 1236 unknown language but mentions twice or thrice ``Making Life Better``. It`s HCJB, per HFCC in Indonesian at 1210-1245 daily but per Aoki in Rawang at 1230-1300 daily, a minority language in Myanmar. 15400 at 1259, signing off HCJB Australia for Southeast Asia; ``these programs first heard at 2345 on this same frequency, 15400`` and off at 1300*.
15450, April 4 at 1401, HCJB ID and inspirational music prélude, ``commencing shortly``, 1405 greeting South Asia for next sesquihour in English. Fair signal with flutter almost steady enough to be a subaudible heterodyne, but nothing else scheduled here (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BANGLADESH. 15105, April 4 at 1238, BB fair with flutter, music and English talk about education, but hard to comprehend more than a word here and there.
15505, April 4 at 1356, BB on with tone, 1357.5 the exotic 11-note IS, timesignal ending at 1359:42 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. 9664.75, April 4 at 0106, poor with music, Voz Missionária has varied only this far at the moment instead of - 2 kHz from 9665. Nothing around to het it (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. 11856.55, April 4 at 0105, Brazuguese religious talk and prayer, good signal but R. Aparecida is way off-frequency tonight (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. CNR1 jammer survey April 4; no Firedrakes heard at all; grouped by hours here:
10960, April 4 at 1253, CNR1 jammer, very poor with flutter
12230, April 4 at 1242, CNR1 jammer, poor with flutter
12370, April 4 at 1242, CNR1 jammer, poor with flutter
12500, April 4 at 1244, CNR1 jammer, very poor with flutter
12910, April 4 at 1244, CNR1 jammer, very poor with flutter
13970, April 4 at 1244, CNR1 jammer, fair with flutter; none in 14s
11605, April 4 at 1351, CNR1 jammer, good with CCI target
11785, April 4 at 1351, CNR1 jammer, very good
11805, April 4 at 1351, CNR1 jammer, very good; none in the 10s
12230, April 4 at 1350, CNR1 jammer, very poor with flutter
13830, April 4 at 1346, CNR1 jammer, fair, and also noise jamming?
13970, April 4 at 1348, CNR1 jammer, very good
14750, April 4 at 1346, CNR1 jammer, very good
15115, 15195, 15265, April 4 at 1343, usual fixed inband CNR1 jammers
16360, April 4 at 1343, CNR1 jammer, fair
16750, April 4 at 1343, CNR1 jammer, fair
16920, April 4 at 1342, CNR1 jammer, good with flutter; none 17-20 MHz
15525, April 4 at 1404, CNR1 jammer mixing equally with V. of Tibet via MADAGASCAR, which at 1407 jumps to 15530, jammer stays on 15525
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA [and non]. 15600, April 4 at 1230, heavy RTTY QRM to a broadcaster, ``Inilah`` something, so it`s Indonesian? No, Malay from CRI via Kunming at 1230-1300 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 5025 Rebelde & 5040 RHC are both on, April 4 at 0541, unlike 24 hours earlier when 5025 was off.
5855, April 4 at 0542, digital spy bursts, YL with one Spanish number group, ``15281``, more blaats, causing lite ACI to WRMI`s new TruNews service on 5850 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** EGYPT [and non]. 11710.1, April 4 at 0101, R. Cairo provides a bit of suppressed, distorted modulation allegedly Spanish, stronger than Argentina 11710.8 or so, making big het.
12070, April 4 at 0118, R. Cairo, good level in Spanish, but extremely distorted and mixed with some second audio source and hum.
What about the third frequency for Spanish at 0045-0200? It`s 9315, unchecked tonight, but also a loser for English at 0200. The first two are Abis, the last Abu Zabaal (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GUAM. 15620, April 4 at tune-in 1229*, ``thanking you for joining us`` and off. That`s nice of them, but the joining was quite brief. HFCC shows KSDA in ``Mnw`` --- thank goodness Aoki doesn`t make us guess or look up language abbrs. --- it`s Mon, daily at 1200-1230, following Indonesian, Sundanese/Javanese from 1100. EiBi`s language lookup shows Mon as spoken by 0.8 megapeople in Myanmar and Thailand, non-abbr`d MON; that`s out of place for a block otherwise to Indonesia. But antenna swings 30 degrees further north for it, check (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KUWAIT. 21540, April 4 at 1544 tune across loud & clear signal in Arabic, better than Spain 21610 & 21640, and tune back across at 1545* R. Kuwait has just closed. Take your pick: HFCC shows -1730*, Eibi to -1745* and Aoki to -1800* (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MALI [and non]. 17630, April 4 at 1556, very poor carrier, maybe CRI Bamako relay in English just before closing. This remains scheduled at 14-16, despite CRI English also on Urumqi, East Turkistan at 12-15, thus overlapping an hour. I hear nothing but Urumqi before 1500; Mali has been low power/low modulation for years if on the air at all. Replying to my previous log, Ivo Ivanov in Bulgaria says, ``Strong carrier, but very low modulation from transmitter in Bamako`` without specifying if or when he has axually heard it on 17630. Does anyone hear an echo during the 14-15 hour? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 710, April 4 at 1205, choral NA is still playing on weak signal, fades up at 1206 for super-patriotic recitation, ``Soy Soldado``; 1209 Chihuahua anthem; 1210 full ID for XEDP Cuauhtémoc, ``La Ranchera de Cuauhtémoc``, and XHDP FM, jingle ID; 1211 choral hymn, and preacher in Plattdeutsch, a regular on this Mennonite-area station. It`s always a bit jarring to hear such a language coming out of Mexico, but neat (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PERU. 5980, April 4 at 0059, R. Chaski very poor carrier continues until autocutoff at 0107:17.5*, 11 seconds later than a binite ago; still not reset to circa 0100 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGST)
** RUSSIA. 25900, Friday April 4 at 1424, no signal from R. Magic Eye at MTUCI Moskva, but others are reporting it well into western Europe and North America, so I DX-pedition to the quieter porch for intensive monitoring starting at 1521, and immediately hear rock music with heavy beat, poor to very poor with fades, but anything audible from this 400-watt outlet is great; also QRM from something pulsing exactly 4 times per second --- radar, or local device? Seemingly not the dog fence next door. 1529 a quick announcement I mostly missed as changing antennas and receivers, nothing but more music until 1549 still a carrier but nothing audible; 1550 a JBA carrier, so fading out rather than signing off, apparently. Moscow sunset today is 1613 UT, so there should still be plenty MUF to the west.
Once again I have been comparing the DX-398 and the PL-880. RME can be heard on both, better with a less noisy reel-out antenna than a longer one also under the eaves. PL-880 gets overload QRM from some other station, so DX-398 wins. Listening in SSB mode helps a lot, and it`s AM, as equally audible on LSB and USB. Also with the DX-398, I can easily compare frequency to WWV 15000 and find that MTUCI is very slightly on the hi side of 25900 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SOUTH AFRICA. 15660, April 4 at 1557, Channel Africa IDs in English and French mixed with bird-chirp IS inherited from Radio RSA, poor until off at 1558*. Aoki shows this was really the M-F 1456-1555 [sic] Swahili service at 19 degrees from Meyerton; while HFCC rounds it to 1500-1600 at 5 degrees; split the difference (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SPAIN. 21610 & 21640, April 4 at 1545, REE with good strength but heavy echo on both, apparently long/short path (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SUDAN [non]. 15550, April 3 at 1559, strong AM signal in Arabish, causing heavy QRM to WJHR Florida which is USB only. By tuning LSB only, I can get rid of most of WJHR on the PL-880, while the DX-398 ``mirrors`` or inadequately suppresses the USB signal.
It`s R. Dabanga, via VATICAN, at 1527-1627 with perpetual companion R. Tamazuj at 1459-1527, per HFCC and Aoki. HFCC also shows ADM, DHA, UAE in Arabic on 15550 at 1300-1820 & 1920-2300, both presumably imaginary among countless wooden registrations they make (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** THAILAND. 15590, April 4 at 0053, R. Thailand is presumably the JBA carrier on its new frequency, 38 degrees to North America in English; yet 15565 bears a fair signal in Chinese, i.e. IBB from same site Udorn, at 30 degrees. Something is amiss (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TIBET [non]. 15525, April 4 at *1357:50 open carrier on from MADAGASCAR, 1400 Voice of Tibet opening, fair, no jamming; until hit by almost equal level CNR1 at 1405. At 1407 VOT jumps up to 15530, leaving the jammer behind on 15525, and they are still separate at 1423 check (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TURKEY [and non]. 15450, April 4 at 1303, JBA signal, presumed V. of Turkey`s English from 1230, useless here but maybe OK to western Europe; ACI from much stronger KSDA in Kachin on 15445; I had noted it as Burmesish (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1715 monitoring: after missing three nights, relieved to hear WWRB back on 5050, UT Friday April 4 at 0057, and still on for WOR; at 0323 check, wild preacher, but this week he wasn`t cut off until 0338 for brief announcement by Dave I couldn`t catch, respectful pause until WOR at 0339:15, joining the billboard in progress at ``International Vacuum``. Played to completion at 0407:40* and 5050 immediately off. The webcast was again at rather low level but OK if you turned up the volume. After several bufferings, lost it by 0400 when probably cut off anyway for usual Bible readings. Next:
Sat 0630 & 1430 on Hamburger Lokalradio 7265-CUSB [times shifted]
Sat 2330 on WTWW-2 9930

Wed 1300 on WRMI-11 9955
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 5050, April 4 at 0057, WWRB Global One service is back on with preacher, after missing three nights; at 0114, both 9370 and 3185, the BS frequencies, are off. Apparently there are not quite enough active transmitters to go around (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 7506.6, April 4 at 0115, mark down another missing transmission from WRNO. It`s often gone for a week or two, then shows up again. What exactly is the problem? (Glenn Hauser, OK, D XLISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 15550, WJHR now has co-channel collision: see SUDAN [non]
** U S A. 860, April 4 at 1210 UT, no doubt KKOW Pittsburgh KS, as `CBS World News Roundup` concludes with an item that a super-accurate new atomic clock has been installed at NIST Boulder. So I guess WWV will be even more precise now (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** VATICAN [non]. 11730, April 4 at 0119 Vatican Radio IS briefly, fair signal, ``Laudetur Iesus Christus`` and into S Asian language, sitar music. HFCC shows 0120 is when it transitions from Tamil to Malayalam via UZBEKISTAN (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) see also SUDAN [non]
UNIDENTIFIED. 15290, April 4 at 0054 and still at 0117, heavy strong wideband noise centered here, not DRM, nor what jamming usually sounds like, but some multiplexed utility as heard on fixed bands --- here in the middle of the 19m SWBC band. HFCC scheduled at 0030-0100 is VOA Specialish English via Tinang, PHILIPPINES, possibly out of whack or subject to a new form of jamming? Certainly not benign beeping as in a Radiogram. Nothing listed on 15285 or 15295 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 25000, April 4 at 1547, as MTUCI is fading out from 25900, I figure the 100-watt MIKES timesignal in Espoo, FINLAND could be audible; and there are plenty of unID signals on the 12m hamband just below. On 25000 I do detect a JBA carrier with fades; possibly pips but just too weak to tell. IIRC, the station does not ID, just pips, right? I don`t find any info about it at http://81.209.67.238/front-page
