FRS today on 9302 kHz

Last minute news: this evening FRS-Holland will be repeating part of last Sundays broadcast.
From 18:00-22:00 UTC/ 20:00-00.00 CEST FRSH will only be broadcasting on 9302 kHz (as a kind of test).The difference with last Sunday is that power on 31 metres will be upped. That makes us curious how
FRS'  signal is coming through in your area. Therefore we are looking out for reception reports.

Remember our full repeat of last Sundays broadcast via the Internet:[ http://nednl.net:8000/frsh.m3u].
For mobile devices there is a 24 kbps mono stream: [ http://nednl.net:8000/frsh24.m3u].
Just like last Sunday start is at 15:52 UTC/ 17:52 CEST and 6 hours later close down will be at 22.03 UTC/ 00:03 CEST.
Unfortunately  16:00 CEST was mentioned as a start in FRS Magazine...that's wrong!! Apologies....
Last Sunday we were not very lucky with propagation conditions. Although good reception was reported from different parts of Europe,
also much poorer reception was the case at other locations. Variable... Especially 7700 kHz was poorer than we hoped for although the signal
improved during the last 2 hours. Positive was 9302 kHz which replaced 5800 kHz. Knowing we used only relatively low power on 9302, it
performed quite well in wide areas of Central Europe. 

Thanks for all of you sending in reports...much appreciated!!

Enjoy todays broadcast...

Glenn Hauser logs June 14-15, 2014

** CHINA. CNR1 jamming June 15:
13850, June 15 at 1254, CNR1 jammer, poor-fair; presumably against an inaudible 100-watt Sound of Hope nuisance unit on Taiwan; 13845 WWCR not yet a problem today
16100, June 15 at 1256, CNR1 jammer, fair-good, ditto target; no others in the 12s, 14s, 17s, 18s, and the usuals in the 15s (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NIGERIA. 15120-AM, June 15 at 0607, Voice fo Nigeria, good signal with news by YL, but undermodulated, with light squeal. You never know whether this will be on the air and/or propagating. Tonight there are many other signals on 19m at this hour (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 90.1, June 15 at 1310 UT, KUCO is broadcasting dead air instead of `Pipedreams` and from 1330 also nothing from `Sing for Joy` either until cutting on at 1341:04. Same thing happened June 14: at 1600 UT teaser for `The Score`, but at 1606 after the news, more dead air and we gave up after 10 minutes, but back to music at 1638 check. What`s going on here? No one minding the store, even by remote control? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SAUDI ARABIA. 15380, June 15 at 0608, Qur`an on very poor signal, but none at all usually audible. Aoki shows R. Riyadh HQ service at 0545-0857 and 1200-1357 when it`s more likely, both on same 500 kW, 310 degree beam USward. Also shows CNR1 after 0600 on 15380, not a jammer! But unheard now (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TURKEY [and non]. 13635, June 15 at 0611, Turkish music from TRT; fair signal, but too much ACI from 13630 Australia. Turkey making it now tnx to solsticial conditions, 500 kW, 310 degrees USward (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1725 monitoring: confirmed resumed on WTWW-2, 9930, Saturday June 14 at 2330; also on WTWW-1, 5830, UT Sunday June 15 at 0400, both very good signals. The UT Sunday 0030 airing on WRMI-9, 9495, played back the previous show, 1724, as usually but not always happens. Next:

UT Monday 0300 on Area 51 via WBCQ, 5109v-CUSB
Tuesday 1100 on WRMI, 9955
Wednesday 0630 & 1430 on Hamburger Lokalradio, 7265-CUSB

Your invited!    Borderhunter Summer Meeting 2014 information:

Hi Free Radio and pirate fans! It's already time for another one! From the 4th to the 6th of July 2014, everyone of distinction in the scene meets once again – both listeners and stations! On this particular weekend, it's provisionally planned that the next Borderhunter summer meeting (well-known and well-loved across Europe) will take place in the first week-end of July. Only those who already know about this fantastic meeting, know what the home stayers miss.
As in every year, the question of where to stay overnight is no problem! You can stay in a car, tent, caravan, hotel, B&B or at the accommodation at the camp site (complete with beds, but bring a sleeping bag) – everything can be brought along, as everything is best provided for. The meeting begins officially on Saturday, as usual. In addition, every year many hobbyists travel on Friday, which the boss of the organisation also has no problem with. Everyone is always most cordially welcome at any time!
You can safely leave your picnic basket at home with your mother – the selection of meals and drinks is so vast, that you will be a little bit heavier when you return home on Sunday! And all this and more at affordable prices. However in order not to drive the meeting organisation into financial ruin, there is a small contribution of 2 Euros per person which is obligatory.
Radio Borderhunter will organise a meeting for friends of the free radio and pirate hobby, that is not only unique, but will also remain unsurpassed – that we promise all hobbyists! In order that we can better plan, we request that you let us know when you are coming, in advance if possible. As we want to make sure that we have enough food beforehand, for example.

Reservations, applications and questions should be directed to the following e-mail address:summermeeting2014@hotmail.com
The exact route to the meeting will be given in advance. Most of you will know it from previous years. Our motto for this meeting, as always is: come, see, be amazed, be at home.
All free radio friends are cordially welcome at the BORDERHUNTER SUMMER MEETING on the 4th untill the 6th of July 2014!!!
It's a nice present for yourself, don't stay at home but meet a lot of other free radio enthusiasts!

Glenn Hauser logs June 13-14, 2014

** BOLIVIA [and non]. 3310.0, June 14 at 0118, very poor signal with music, but it`s neither of my talky locals 960 or 1390 which can put a mixing product here, so tentatively R. Mosoj Chaski. However, at 1245 check when of course Bolivia could not make it, now the audio on 3310 matches KGWA 950 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. 15195, June 14 at 1300, Firedrake mixed with CNR1 jamming, fair.

15550 & 15585, June 14 at 1305-1306, CNR1 jamming against V. of Tibet via TAJIKISTAN, both fair against hets on their low sides (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 9570, June 14 at 1254, bits of music audio cutting on every few seconds, i.e. CRI relay in Cantonese. No such problem with RHC itself on 9550. Wiggle that patchcord! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CYPRUS. 15802-15824, June 14 at 0124-0125* heavy OTH radar pulsing, which would have been bad news for WWCR if it were on now; presumed from here (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** EGYPT. 9965, June 14 at 0110, R. Cairo is back in whack tonight, no spurs all over the place, just whine marring Arabic modulation on own frequency.

11710v, June 14 at 0128, R. Cairo is back on here from absence last night, again hetting Argentina 11711-.

9315 rather weak; 12070 strong and distorted (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GREECE. 15630, June 14 a 0124, Greek music, fair, among few signals on band, H.R. still chugging along as if nothing has happened, // stronger 7475 and strongest 9420 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KOREA SOUTH. 6135, June 14 at 1242, JBA carrier, no doubt new clandestine V. of Freedom, now that frequency is clear, no more than 10 kW (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PERU [and non]. 5980+, June 14 at 0105, R. Chaski very poor but enough signal to detect some talk modulation, until cutoff at 0114:07*, which is 5.5 seconds later than yesterday. Compared offset frequency to 5970+ Itatiaia and found that the ZY is now very slightly higher off its nominal than the OA is (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SRI LANKA. 11905, June 4 at 0114, SLBC carrier is on, poor with flutter, barely making out the start of music at 0114:48, and the 2+1 mistimesignal ending at 0115:18.5. Their offness varies little (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. 17700, June 13 at 2011, R. Africa via WRMI is still here instead of 17790, presumably until QSY to 15190 time at 2100. Tomorrow back on 17790? Yes! At 1401 check June 14. Ivo Ivanov points out that the SMG transmission at 1500-1530 on 17700 is not Vatican Radio but VOA relay in Hausa.

9955, Sat June 14 at 1251, Jeff White talking about Flagler and his overseas railroad down the Keys, so must be `Viva Miami` as scheduled this quarter-hour; still with annoying low audible het from presumed TAIWAN usurping frequency at least during this semi-hour. Jeff also says the show I heard on Sunday at 1230+ with the same problem was not `Wavescan` but another `Viva Miami` (which still doesn`t appear on the schedule grid dated May 31) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5085, June 14 at 0109, WTWW-2 has again made its night switch from 9930 earlier than WTWW-1, still on 9475, so bodes well for 23 hours later, clearing 9925 for KBC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7490v, June 14 at 0132, `Allan Weiner Worldwide`, the only WBCQ program which gets to be trimulcast, also on 9330v-CUSB but a few words off synchronization, and also on 5110v-CUSB, a good many seconds behind in strange feed routing configuration to what must be three transmitters next to each other in Monticello. He`s running way long this week over a sesquihour from 0000 start; addressing Mark Levin, a far-right talkhost, and anticipating needed political changes this November; and mailbag replies (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 9778.5-USB, June 14 at 0112, Spanish 2-way INTRUDERS, het from algo on 9780 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 17762-USB, June 14 at 0127, 2-way in Luso Portuguese accent, INTRUDERS (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Repeat Whit Sunday on next Sun June 15th

Sunday June 15 FRS-Holland will repeat its full last Sunday broadcast via the Internet:[ http://nednl.net:8000/frsh.m3u].
For mobile devices there is a 24 kbps mono stream: [ http://nednl.net:8000/frsh24.m3u].
Just like last Sunday start is at 15:52 UTC/ 17:52 CEST and 6 hours later close down will be at 22.03 UTC/ 00:03 CEST.
Unfortunately  16:00 CEST was mentioned as a start in FRS Magazine...that's wrong!! Apologies....
Last Sunday we were not very lucky with propagation conditions. Although good reception was reported from different parts of Europe,
also much poorer reception was the case at other locations. Variable... Especially 7700 kHz was poorer than we hoped for although the signal
improved during the last 2 hours. Positive was 9302 kHz which replaced 5800 kHz. Knowing we used only relatively low power on 9302, it
performed quite well in wide areas of Central Europe. 

Thanks for all of you sending in reports...much appreciated!!

Enjoy next Sunday's broadcast...

** CHINA. 18980, June 13 at 1350, CNR1 jammer with fair-good signal, the OSOB, which isn`t saying much on ``15 meters`` (yes, this is about 15.8 m, while everything in the so-called 15-m hamband is 14.xx meters). 18980 per Aoki is the Fri & Tue 11-12 & 13-14 frequency for RFA Tibetan via Kuwait, the target unheard.

17485, Friday June 13 at 1419, CNR1 jammer, very good, vs unheard RFA Tibetan 14-15 M/W/F via Thailand; // only fair 17740, which Aoki lists as CNR1 jamming at 14-15 but no known target (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 6000, circa 0600 UT June 13, RHC has achieved English modulation, unlike earlier 0441 open carrier, and 0147 not even that.

15370, June 13 at 1317 is today`s missing RHC frequency, hardly necessary with 15340 on, but also depriving us of the leapfrogs.

17730, June 13 at 1352, another missing RHC frequency, but hardly necessary as 17580 is in well. IIRC, 17730 was on earlier in the hour as I tuned across; yes: Wolfgang Büschel had a ``nice clear signals`` via Nara, Japan remote unit at 1314 June 13 on 17730, 17580, 15340, 15230, presuming short-path across the night.

13740, June 13 at 1354 open carrier, 1425 check CRI English relay as scheduled except in imaginary HFCC, so the Cubans have managed to get 13740 on the air today unlike yesterday (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. Bits of sporadic E TVDX as MUF pokes above 55 MHz now and then, June 13; nothing earlier circa 1430 UT but:

1633 on 2, tune-in finds fútbol from Azteca 7 per bug in UR; Mundial? 6m Es map shows hardly any activity and none of it from the south

1645 on 2, now a studio talk show with 3 women and one man

1707 on 2, silly ballgame again, most likely XHTAU Tampico; lunch

1758 on 2, Azteca-7 SBG in again, but mostly nothing
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TURKEY. Received in the p-mail June 12 another letter from TRT, sealed only with a cupric? mini-staple. It contains another gorgeous pouch, the third one I have received from them and they are all different. This one is mostly red with intricate golden filigree which the scans do not do justice to:
http://www.w4uvh.net/TRTpouch5.jpg
http://www.w4uvh.net/TRTpouch6.jpg
Zippered, could be used as coin purse, but never to be marred here.
The four previous images can be found at
http://www.worldofradio.com/QSL.html
to which all these are being added.

Plus a square coaster with rounded corners showing Topkapi Palace from the outside, different from previous ones, but with the same 3-D-ish overlay diffraxion grid:
http://www.w4uvh.net/TRTTop.jpg

I have won another Question of the Month contest! Last entered a few months ago. Do they keep track of each winner`s previous prizes? Also a card with TRT SW schedule on one side, satellite sked on the other. Nothing about programming.

The envelope itself is a keeper, really a cover with a real postage stamp on it honoring TRT on its fiftieth anniversary (is that all??):
http://www.w4uvh.net/TRTcover.jpg

Stamp says Bir Asra Dogru (minus the diacritics) which Google immediately translates as ``toward a century``, but only halfway.
Closeup of the stamp and postmark, 02.06.2014 which means it took only a dekaday to arrive (background not really bluish as this came out):

** U S A. 9955, June 13 at 0602, nice familiar filler music medley, polka from WRMI instead of BS, why? Over lite pulse jamming. BS remains blasting in on 11825, 7570, but we`re grateful that some other BS/WRMI frequencies remain rather weak here, 5015, 5950 even in the nightmiddle; those must efficiently beam away from us.

17700, June 13 at 1418, surprised to hear a good signal here, ``Sweet Bye & Bye`` instrumental hymn; 1420 some salsa with English lyrix, 1424 soul music. Guess what? 17790 is missing and this is the kind of fill music Radio Africa Network typically plays: yes, got to be that, mis-punched frequency, 1434 with preacher on I Corinthians. For now it doesn`t really matter as nothing else is on 17700, but at 1523 I can barely hear Vatican Radio SMG under it with SAH, Hausa scheduled 1500-1530. Catholix vs Protestants, or something! Clear again after 1530 per HFCC. 17700 is still running RAN/WRMI at 1810.

21525, June 13 at 1811, very poor signal from Brother Scare; tnx to tip from Bob LaRose in S California who IDed it as WRMI. He said it was very good, better than BS on 21600 WHRI, but not here, both VP: too close? 21525 still not on the WRMI frequency grid which has not been updated since June 4; nor is 17700. WRMI initially planned to use 21525 when it took over Okeechobee last December, but had a problem with matching the antenna or some such. So this may be a test, but it seems to be working now (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Glenn Hauser logs June 12-13, 2014

** ARGENTINA. 11711-, June 13 at 0122, pleased to hear RAE in presumed Japanese, only poor signal, but no het from Egypt, q.v., missing from 11710v (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BOLIVIA. 6135-, June 13 at 0105, Radio Santa Cruz full ID with SW and FM frequencies, 0106 banco ad; good, way over the het from Aparecida, Brasil tonight. 6155+ Fides carrier detectable too (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CANADA. 6754-USB, June 13 at 0110, Trenton VOLMET with same warble on modulation as heard recently on 15034-USB. Strange that both transmitters are doing this; problem must be upline (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 6165, June 13 at 0101, RHC English is missing, and still off at 0118 and 0140 rechex; 6000 is on at 0101, but it too is gone at 0147, leaving RHC English with zero frequencies, tsk2. Not checked again until 0441, when 6000 is on; 6165 is on with bigsig but no modulation. Just another SNAFU night at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** EGYPT. 11710v, June 13 at 0122, R. Cairo missing from this frequency tonight, clearing it for Argentina, q.v. on 11711-. So I check the other channels:

12070, June 13 at 0123, R. Cairo, huge distorted signal but modulation level suppressed, plus humbuzz, not much pulsing spurring above/below this, but see 9965!

9315, June 13 at 0124, R. Cairo, music and Spanish, fair signal, undermodulated but not too distorted, best of the lot

9965, June 13 at 0123, R. Cairo, Arabic, distorted but readable, good signal. Tuning thru the entire range at 0129, however, I find multiple filthy extremely distorted spurs from 9965, matching modulation, peaking very approximately, and constantly shifting:

9920, 9960, 9977, 9988, 10010, 10032, 10066. At 0135, I attempt to locate the ranges around each of them, also approx and fluxuating: 9915-9926, 9940-9948, 9973-9995, 10005-10015, 10024-10037, 10060-10070, 10082-10086. By sheer luck WRMI 9955 and WWV 10000 are avoiding most of this mess (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. Not much Es around here June 12 after the big opening yesterday; recuperating and giving me time to compile the report. Finally, UT June 13 at 0017, some video appears on 2 while I`m aimed northeast, where 6m maps show all the axion is, but I suspect it`s Mexican and rotating south by 0025 that`s evident as the Simpsons are in Spanish. Back to nothing, but rechecking after my SW DX session, at 0209 there is again something on 2 from the south, developing nowhere. 0445 again some weak CCI on 2 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PERU. 5980, June 13 at 0112, JBA carrier from R. Chaski until cutoff at 0114:01.5* which is 11.5 seconds later than two nights ago (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PERU [and non]. 6173.9, June 13 at 0102, JBA carrier in heavy splash from huge 6180 Brasil where they are excited about winning some SBG; anyhow, there is nothing on 6170 or 6165 to bother it from the other side. Off-frequency makes 6173.9 certainly R. Tawantinsuyo, as measured by others, but it will take a lot more than this for me to log any programming, let alone any modulation. Chaski 5980 also JBA tonight, but Bolivia [q.v.] 6135- with a much better signal. Lost it right after 0102, off? But rechecking at 0141 it`s JBA again and remeasured on 6173.9, with 6165 Cuba still off (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1725 monitoring: confirmed on WBCQ 7490 webcast, Thursday June 12 at 2100, but inaudible here on 7490v itself; how is it further east, even in Europe off the back? Simultaneously confirmed on WTWW-1 9475: good signal but noticeably weaker than WTWW-2 9930 with BS; must not be running full power on #1.

Also confirmed on WWRB, 5050, UT Friday June 13 at 0329:28 after a respectful pause of 78 seconds from the interruption of the previous g.h. Unfortunately, once again this week, the SW transmission is overmodulated, distorted. Have asked Dave to turn down the volume. OTOH, the webcast this week altho running, is totally silent, rather than very soft requiring turning up the volume. Next:

Sat 0630 & 1430 on Hamburger Lokalradio, 7265-CUSB. How is reception this summer in Europe?
Sat 2330 on WTWW, 9930
UT Sun 0030 on WRMI, 9495
UT Sun 0400 on WTWW, 5830
UT Mon 0300 on Area 51 via WBCQ, 5109v-CUSB; etc.
Full schedule including many more webcasts, AM, FM and satellite:
http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5830 & 9475, June 13 at 0059, both WTWW-1 frequencies are off, but WTWW-2 on 9930 and WTWW-3 on 12105 are on with usual programming (Glenn Hauser, OK, LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5109v-CUSB, June 13 at 0107, as best I can tell, WBCQ is not on here tonight for another AWWW oldie, but operational on better 7490 and best 9330-CUSB at 0126 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Glenn Hauser logs June 11-12, 2014

** AUSTRALIA. 15450, June 12 at 1408, talk in English about scripture but not a declamatory sermon per se; poor-fair with flutter. It`s the all-English sesquihour from HCJB until 1530 on 310 degrees toward S Asia, yet doing better here than Turkey does for its English USward at 1230-1325 on same 15450. 1415 a program change but no intervening ID.

I`ve yet to hear them utter ``Reach Beyond``, the hyped new branding of the organization; wonder just how much influence HQ in Colorado Springs has on far-flug outliars such as Melbourne/Kununurra? Are they going to abolish ``HCJB``, which has really never been applicable beyond Ecuador, certainly not in Australia? I assume the slogan ``Heralding Christ Jesus` Blessings`` was a back-formation once they got the callsign in the 1930s. Or did they decide to locate in Ecuador just so they could utter that?

If they had gone to Colombia, it could have been a bit less convoluted, as ``Heralding Jesus Christ`s Blessings``. In fact there is/was an unrelated commercial station there, HJCB. BTW, most if not all other Ecuadorian radio stations originally had numbers in their callsigns, I assume denoting provinces or regions, but HCJB somehow avoided that complication --- first among equals??

Likewise they came up with a Spanish version, ``Hoy Cristo Jesús Bendice``, which is a bit forced, having to insert ``today`` to make it work, but what about tomorrow? Did they ever come up with more-or-less workable slogans in any of the many other languages they once used, and have added now via Australia?? How about German? Do they ever say ``Herr Christus Jesus Begnadet``? If not, why not? ``Die Stimme der Anden`` is a sexier slogan, but connexions with that Range are getting immer dimmer und dimmer (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. CNR1 jamming morning of June 12:

15870, June 12 at 1251, CNR1 jammer with ID, poor-fair; none in 14s

15970, June 12 at 1251, CNR1 jammer, fair; none in the 16s, 17s

18980, June 12 at 1253, JBA SAH with bit of modulation, the 12-13 UT Thursday (and Monday) frequency for RFA Tibetan via Kuwait
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also CUBA

** CUBA. 13740, June 12 at 1408, no signal from the CRI relay in English; never got round to rechecking later in the bihour. But I did check 15535, the A-14 change registered in HFCC, but still imaginary. (Another one --- NOT --- is 13590 instead of 9570 for 1200 Cantonese, 1300 English). (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. Sporadic E opening June 11 starts slowly but ends with a bang, halfway up the FM band; approx. distances at the end. All times UT:

1512 on 2, weak CCI; again at 1545; G7IZU map (the other 6m one is down), shows Es from the NW is more likely, but still seems weakly southfrom

1625 on 2, CCI including f bug in LR from Televisa net 4, and now video also poking up to channel 3

1722 on 2, news with Azteca 7 bug in LR, probably XHTAU Tampico

1730 on 3, Televisa 5 bug in LR, evil-penguins animation; XHBQ Zacatecas is the usual primary one with this description

1731 on 2, Univisión tricolor U bug in lower right. No other network bugs visible. Could this be a Mexican anyway, or Nicaraguan, or does it have to be a US station, i.e. LPTV 3 kW analog WUVF-LP, Naples FL? Also has a bug looking like a G in the LL; and a clock in the UR. (In analog era, WEDU-3 Tampa, WPBT-2 Miami were common here.) More below -

1732 on 4, algo in Spanish, MUF rising

1734 on 2, +V MASVISION animated logo full screen during variety show: XEWO-TV, Guadalajara

1736 on 2, U = Univisión bug in LR; LL bug is Gf = program logo, El Gordo y el flaco (the fat one and the skinny one). Not // to US Univisión on cable here!

1747 on 3, Televisa-2 promo with Star. G7IZU 6m maps are still showing zero activity south of here, just east of here!

1750 on 4, Televisa-5 bug in LR, live action with creatures

1752 on 2, over-loud audio about the Copa

1756 on 88.1, Spanish fades in the first FM frequency I have been monitoring, ad for Mi Farmacia, but soon gone before ToH. Cantú shows only four Mexicans on 88.1; and now ONE on 88.3, which I would sure like to get now that this is an open frequency in Enid

1803 on 4, studio musicians giving out phone numbers

1810 on 4, documentary in letterbox, little unID bug in UR [XHG?]

1820 on 4, promo for Televisa 5 (there is also a small star right of the italic 5 in oval)

1831 on 2, old  B&W movie; bug in UR with clock 13:31 +v with red background, i.e. XEWO-TV; not to be confused with XEFB Monterrey which also has an alfabetic bug in UR with red background but it says TELEACTIVA

1832 on 2, bug goes off above as ads are running

1835 on 2, Father`s Day promo ``en tu Canal 4`` full screen, but this is also from XEWO, immediately followed by +v logo. This refers not to  national Televisa-4, but to their sister station also in Guadalajara, XHG, the 4 design same as tiny in the UR corner as ``new for 2014`` at
http://tvdxtips.com/mexlogosch4.html
but this 4 is full screen in blue

1841 on 4, PRI ad, then ``en Coahuila, Voz``, on screen, net-2 promos, Walmart ad. If this was really from Coahuila, rather than a passing mention from somewhere else, the only Televisa-2 station there is per W9WI.com:

Parras De La Fuente, CL
XHPAC-TV 10,000    N H 25-26-25N 102-10-45W XLIC S:Televisa 2

rather than the usual ch 4 we see with 10x the power, different net:
Torreón, CL
XELN-TV 100,000 39 Z H 25-31-59N 103-26-10W XLIC S:Televisa 5

1844 on 3, Televisa-5 bug in LR

1845 on 4, game show involving clothes hangers and jumping, from Televisa-2 bug in LR, almost snow free

1901 on 2, boxing, at least clips from Azteca net 7 bug in LR, also program bug dc in a circle frequently appears; unknown lettering in upper right corner

1911 on 2, futebol discussion, i.e. interviewing a Brazilian attempting to Hispancize some of the words he says. The interviewers from Mexico make no attempt to Brazuguize their Spanish; they somehow seem to understand each other. Azteca 7 bug in UR, dc in LR

1917 on 2, back to studio still with circle-dc as program name. Next interview is with someone in English

1918 on 4, animation from Televisa net-5

1922 on 2, Azteca 7 promo for Simpsons, back to dc = Deportes Calientes, audibly mentioned, also with ``Aztecarioca`` on the set

1923 on 2, dc next topic is MLBéisbol in the USA

1927 on 4, Gala bug = Televisa 9 in LR; as credits run for novela, song; audio mixes with another station`s fútbol

1941 on 6 video, animation from Televisa 5, bug LR. Full power 5s-on-6: Orizaba VC, Chetumal QR, Querétaro QT, Monterrey NL, Tijuana BCN.

1943 on 5, animation from Televisa 5, same but not synch with 6

1943 on 4, animation from Televisa 5 per LR bug, but totally different show from what`s on 5 & 6; timezone delay??? Show on 4 involves dark humanoid robotic monsters while 5 & 6 are non-threatening

1953 on 87.75, channel 6 audio I have been waiting for fades in, with Azteca 13 promo; I start audio recording. Now video & audio, for `Espectáculos`` 11 de junio (hoy), introducing and playing a music video; Los -algo- de Sinaloa; didn`t think it was from southwest. Animated big H logo for program. If really Sinaloa must be:

Los Mochis, SN XHMSI-TV 100,000 - H 25-48-56N 109-03-47W XLIC S:Azteca 13

1959 on 6, into Info Deportiva

2006 on 6, H animation again – stands for Hechos, photoed,
http://www.w4uvh.net/XHMSI1.jpg
and a few seconds later shot of an explosive bösom, also photoed, http://www.w4uvh.net/XHMSI2.jpg
and a couple more shots of the program in color; A-13 bugs barely visible in UR:http://www.w4uvh.net/XHMSI3.jpg
http://www.w4uvh.net/XHMSI4.jpg

2003 on 5, Bob el Esponja from Televisa-5

2003 on 4, other animation from another Televisa-5. At this time not much making it on 2 or 3, a geographic cold spot? There are far too many Televisa-5`s on 4, ten full-powers per W9WI.com but in the PTA we have only:
Mazatlán SN XHMAF-TV 100,000 Z H 23-15-34N 106-23-11W XLIC S:Televisa 5

2006 on 4, took a bunch of photos of Televisa net-5 animation on 4: see the bugs in lower right:
http://www.w4uvh.net/XHMAF1.jpg
http://www.w4uvh.net/XHMAF2.jpg
http://www.w4uvh.net/XHMAF3.jpg
http://www.w4uvh.net/XHMAF4.jpg
http://www.w4uvh.net/XHMAF5.jpg
Linx to these will be added to my TVDX photo page:http://www.worldofradio.com/tvdxfoto.html

At this point I suspend TV DXing and go out on the porch with DX-398 and PL-880 to DX FM. Despite a bad connexion on the whip swivel, I find the DX-398 is better for FM sensitivity, but employ the PL-880 to keep track of a second signal. DX-398 also has RDS display, which can be a big help altho none seen in the catches below after the first one. References are the WTFDA FM database and the Cantú listings.

2018 on 93.1, RDS shows MANDA something, probably song title, then audibly ``al ritmo caliente por la Jefa, 93 punto 1``. That slogan matches only: XHMZT, 50/50 kW in Mazatlán, Sinaloa, i.e. the same TVDX area. Then ad for tecate.com.mx which is running a trivia contest. I think Tecate is a cerveza, no relation or DX from the town in BCN, but this is for ``gentlemen`` only, all about requiring them to register their birth date (data mining, duh!), in order to win one of 4000 screens. What if you secretly bear two X chromosomes, take the prize back? Soon fading by 2020. Recording:
http://www.w4uvh.net/XHMZT.mp3

2020 on 93.9, weak Spanish vs ACI and CCI, mentions Croacia, Brasil, no doubt discussing upcoming silly ballgames. Soon loses out to Okie station, i.e. KIMY Watonga (whose awful 93.1 translator in Enid remains silent, thank god). Most likely another Mazatlán station:
93.9 XHMZS Radio Sinaloa (Rep. XHGES Culiacan) Mazatlan, Sin. 10,000
Recording:
http://www.w4uvh.net/XHMZS.mp3

2022 on 92.9, YL & OM conversation about pilas (? Batteries). No, it`s filas, lineups of people, mentions presidente municipal (mayor) in the PRI, but where? 2024 (1:19 into recording) mentions ``nuestra página de G-M-B radio`` twice, but not certain of letters; could be some rhymers. Those calls do not match any listed on 92.9 in Cantú; mentions Parral in passing, which leads to nearby city:
92.9 XHJZ La Campera + AM 1320 Cd. Jiménez, Chih. 25,000
Campera I guess alludes to being from or for the campo.

Later refers to Chihuahua, traffic accident, Glorieta del Minero, which must be a local landmark traffic circle --- it also matches for Hidalgo del Parral, tho there could be others (by now 93.1 above is no longer audible).

2028, 1:28 timecheck [must be wrong as Chihuahua is on UT -6 MDT; see four minutes later below], teaser about possibility of same-sex marriage but church says no way (an issue in Mexico even?); call for news tips ``hagamos la noticia juntos`` from your colonia, ``denuncias`` about things you don`t agree with, to 54-2-01-61 or 54-2-00-68. ``Marque la diferencia``

2029 ad for Zapatería Pátiz en Ciudad Jiménez; ad for fancy Mediterráneo Restaurante y Café when visiting Cuauhtémoc (which is way up west of Chihuahua capital, not near Jiménez).

2030 ad for discount clothes store, Casa Chalmita? Which takes a siesta break from 1 to 3 pm, ``vestidos desde la joven hasta la abuelita`` --- so only for females? Federal PSA for Cámara de Diputados

2031, ad for consultorio something Infantil A-B-C; including wheelchairs? ``Auto-Valu, siempre más barato``.

2032, promo for newscasts on this station, La Campera, de Jimémez to worldwide, ``lunes a viernes 6-8:30 am y lunes a sábados 2 a 3, grupo B-M radio, tu mejor selección.``

2:32 timecheck, homosexual marriage story. Another station with music starts to fade in, so I stop recording: 10+ minute recording from 2022, just as the speaker starts, mentioning ``10 minutitos``:
http://www.w4uvh.net/XHJZ1.mp3

2033 on 92.9, resuming recording, bit of music station, but back to XHJZ for gay marriage report:http://www.w4uvh.net/XHJZ2.mp3

2034 on 94.9, Senado de la República PSA; and equal time for the Cámara de Diputados about organ donation saving lives; third one about crédito público; then ID as ``imponiendo nuestro estilo, La Mexicana [echoing]``. I have to side-tune to 94.95 to avoid 94.7 OKC. Is in $tereo but no RDS. This one checks out in Cantú as:
94.9 XHSB Radio Mexicana + AM 810 Hidalgo del Parral, Chih. 25,000
WTFDA db puts the same in Santa Bárbara, Chihuahua, which is near Parral in the southern tip of the state. Recording until 2036:
http://www.w4uvh.net/XHSB.mp3

2037 on 97.5, weather report for places all over Mexico including: the National Water Commission predicts temps of 40-50! C degrees in BC, Sonora, Coahuila, Nuevo León, y Tamaulipas due to high pressure over the area for almost a week; address as ``conexion.noticiero@gmail.com --- el correo electrónico de Conexión Nacional, el noticiero que une a todo el país``. The Senate has started to debate algo, fade at 2038.
This sounds like a network program, nothing local, so what have we on 97.5 in the PTA (probable target area)? Cantú:
97.5 XHFAMA Radio Fama, La Grandota + AM 960 Cd. Camargo, Chih. 25,000
I previously DXed their MW 960 as one of the `Fox-hole` stations during local KGWA dead air.

Searching on the ``Conexion Nacional`` name without even a frequency, the top hit is this from 462 days ago:
http://internetchihuahua.com/lg2/?p=18228
The network had grown to 54 radio stations, also on cable TV. This site belongs to La Grandota 97.5 FM y 960 AM. Grandota means ``big one``. The story doesn`t say where the broadcasts originate, but I bet it`s México DF rather than Camargo, which is between Parral and Chihuahua city on the indirect highway. Recording:http://www.w4uvh.net/XHFAMA.mp3

2038 on 97.9 (but sidetuned to 97.8 avoiding OKC on 98.1), weak signal in and out: YL with phone number, plug program `Ventana de Poetas[? may be some other word]` a las 10 de la mañana por W [doble-ú] Radio,`` ``W-radio, estación pilar de Radiorama, la cadena que une a México`` (like several others claim)

The huge Radiorama station list at
http://www.radiorama.com.mx/secciones.php?sec_id=32
includes many different names and formats, with only two on 97.9, in Ensenada and Mazatlán, both Ke Buenas. As for W Radio, none on 97.9, but close, in Cantú: XHWT 97.7 in Culiacán, Sinaloa, while 97.9 in Mazatlán is XHMMS. Maybe the latter has flipped to W? Recording:http://www.w4uvh.net/XHMMS.mp3

2041 on 90.3, YL in Spanish with ACI from Okies on 90.5 & 90.1, requiring precise whip manipulation, about denuncias ``aquí en Hidalgo del Parral, Chihuahua to 52-2-02-86 or outside the area prefix 01-627 plus that number. During phone number, fades up to full level, with address near an iglesia, and taking first call for family advice; with musical background. Wants birthdate of caller`s mother; astrological?
Cantú IDs it:
90.3 XHEGD La Poderosa + AM 700 Hidalgo del Parral, Chih. 25,000
I`ve also heard their AM 700 several times. Neat to be DXing FM stations from the same hotspots as I get on MW!

2045 on 90.3 (4:20 into continuous recording) fade over to a different station, YL about Jesús, phone 712-6663, IDs in passing as Radio María, ``totalmente independiente`` with no funding from government entities or the obispado, mentions Huracán Manuel del pasado septiembre, so probably on the coast. Fades without any further ID, but Cantú shows the only María on 90.3 is:
90.3 XHFCS Radio María Culiacán, Sin. 15,000
6:33 recording of both 90.3s:
http://www.w4uvh.net/XHEGD-XHFCS.mp3

Thus ended the FM DX opening, so I shortly go back into the TVs for just a few more before the MUF descends below 54 MHz too.

2058 on 4, Azteca 13 about fútbol

2058 on 3, promo for a religious program at 6 pm; 2059 on 3, animated 3 logo in the Grupo Pacífico style, news feature about the Universidad Autónoma de Sinaloa, continues with circle-3 bug in UR, so it`s XHQ-TV, 100 kW in Culiacán.

2108 on 2, some CCI is all that remains, and gone by 2115 UT.

Approximate city-to-city distances from
http://www.distancefromto.net/ which is so much quicker than entering lots of coördinates, but would do so from transmitter sites if I were competing for anything; in km/statute miles/nautical miles:

Parras             1286  799  695
Guadalajara        1831 1138  988
Tampico            1577  980  851
Tijuana            1808 1123  976
Los Mochis         1583  984  855

Culiacán           1577  980  852
Mazatlán           1679 1043  907
Hidalgo del Parral 1285  799  694

Ciudad Camargo     1189  739  642
(Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 90.5, June 11 at 2017 UT, as I am scanning for Mexican DX, I can`t help but notice that my nearby station has a stronger signal than before, ``My Praise FM``, and with RDS song info. It`s KGVV in Goltry listed as 14/14 kW and 40/40m HAAT. FCC FM Query shows no CPs, so maybe was not up to full power until now? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SARAWAK [non]. 15410, June 12 at 1228 interview in presumed Iban, poor but no jamming audible or any QRM; 1229 YL mentions Radio Free Sarawak, 1230 bit of percussive music, off at 1230:20*. Presumably still via RVA Palauig, PHILIPPINES site. Probably employs some of the alternate frequencies earlier from 1100: 15420, 15430, 15460 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SPAIN [and non]. 11910, June 12 at 1303 as I tune across, ears perk up during Morse code --- of course, it`s only the standard opening of REE`s `Españoles en la Mar`, IIRC spelling out that title, now starting after only 3 minutes of news instead of 5 or 6. Who cares what`s happening in the world? Surely nothing more than three minutes` worth. 11910 is the Beijing relay; poor signal with REE direct on 17715 somewhat better, while 21610, 21640, 21540, 21515 remain JBA if at all with 13m in the summer doldrums (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENIN DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1724 monitoring: confirmed Wed June 11 after 2100 on WBCQ webcast, but inaudible here on 7490; how is it further east? 1724 also replayed UT Thursday June 12 at 0330 on WRMI 9955, as 1725 was not quite ready in time.

WORLD OF RADIO 1725 monitoring: confirmed first airing Thursday May 12 at 1230 on WRMI, 9955, but now marred by a low audible heterodyne from some other station; it breaks briefly at 1231, but resumes at 1232; YL in continuous Chinese(?) talk, not // CNR1. Finally some music at 1256 and goes off at 1300 leaving WRMI clear. Aoki still shows nothing else on 9955 at this time, but strongly suspect TAIWAN has resumed using it, as it`s typically off-frequency; this QRM was first noticed yesterday against Wavescan. Have suggested to Jeff that should try to get Taiwan off; if not using 315 antenna on 9955, which he is so reluctant to employ even during English broadcasts which would have a far greater audience in Canada than Caribbean. Next WOR SW broadcasts:

Thu 2100 on WTWW, 9475
Thu 2100 on WBCQ, 7490v
UT Fri 0326v on WWRB, 5050
Sat 0630 & 1430 on Hamburger Lokalradio, 7265-CUSB
Sat 2330 on WTWW, 9930 (we hope; not last week)
UT Sun 0030 on WRMI, 9495 (may be previous show but 1724 already aired here last week)
UT Sun 0400 on WTWW, 5830
UT Mon 0300 on Area 51 via WBCQ, 5109v-CUSB
Tue 1100 on WRMI, 9955
Wed 0630 & 1430 on Hamburger Lokalradio, 7265-CUSB
Wed 1315 on WRMI, 9955
Wed 2100 on WBCQ, 7490v
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 11825, June 11 at 2138 check, WRMI TOM service is back on after being off the air several hours earlier; and resuming 24 hour service whenever checked thence.

9955 at 1230-1300* June 12 now has CCI from Chinese making low audible heterodyne, probably TAIWAN; see WOR report. At 1259 WRMI fill music and Bob Zanotti ID from Switzerland: now he has redone it to insert the first `dot` into
www.wrmi.net! I remain mystified why so many otherwise savvy people tend to omit that dot after www when citing websites, but never the final dot (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Radio Bulgaria, 80 Years in 80 Weeks

Radio Bulgaria celebrates 80 years of broadcasting next year and has just started today on june 4 a new series of called Bulgarian National Radio: 80 Years in 80 Weeks". From the introductory opening remarks in today's episode 1: "In our feature 80 years in 80 weeks, Radio Bulgaria presents this  national treasure – Bulgaria's memory in sound, preserved in the BNR's  Golden Fund archives. We shall bring you archive recordings, bringing to  life interesting events and facts, the voices of politicians, writers,  poets, musicians, journalists, athletes who have made their mark in the  life of the country. We shall hear recordings we have every right to be  proud of, things that give food for thought, things we can now reassess  in the light of the times gone by." This looks to be an interesting series - and if today's 6 minute feature is typical, the end result will run to a combined total of 8 hours!. (http://www.bnr.bg)
