Glenn Hauser log October 12-13, 2016

** ETHIOPIA [and non]. Checking VOA Amharic frequencies for reception and DRM jamming, Oct 13 at 1813-1820:

15785, JBA carrier and JBA jamming [Woofferton]

15700, missed checking this one [Lampertheim]

15630, S4 Amharic and DRM jamming [Woofferton]

13860, JBA carrier and DRM jamming [Woofferton]

12140, JBA carrier [Udorn]

12110, nothing [Kuwait]

11720, JBA carrier [Lampertheim]

Sites per Wolfgang Büschel research as of October 12, but who knows, they could have been jumbled around the next day or shifted during the hour.

Thorsten Hallmann, Germany, was monitoring the previous broadcast today: ``1730 VoA Oromo begins. Tonight six frequencies were jammed, one is clear: Jamming to VoA on 11720 12110 12140 13860 15630 15785; 

15700 is clear`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KURDISTAN [non]. 11600, Oct 13 at 1256, Denge Kurdistane with heavy flutter and slight echo, as two transmitter sites are simultaneous. At 1300:05* one of them goes off, no more echo and what`s left is weaker, then Denge Kurdistane ID and timesignal about 39 seconds late compared to WWV. EiBi shows 1300 is the time to switch from PRIDNESTROVYE to BULGARIA (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MADAGASCAR [non]. 17640, Oct 13 at 1811, Madagascar World Voice is still AWOL. Andy Baker of World Christian Broadcasting has now put up a ``Fourth Quarter Update`` pretending the station is really on the air with full schedule and asking for more money!

http://www.worldchristian.org/Updates/LatestNews/updates.php

At least a BST-1 caradio memory on 17640 to check for it came in handy for BBC via ASCENSION at 1650 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 580, Oct 13 at 1221, lots of addresses and phone numbers ``en esta ciudad Chihuahua`` so it`s XEFI, listed by IRCA as Estéreo Mexicana (referring only to FM XHFI 98.5?) AM is 5000/700 watts. Surpassing Lubbock and surprisingly little from WIBW Topeka with direxional pattern SW. Was really expecting XEMU Piedras Negras, and wonder if it`s still on AM. But this 580 is much weaker than fellow Chihuahua2 620 station, XEBU 5000/250, so common I seldom log it (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 820, Oct 13 at 1227 immediately upon tune-in, canned YL ID ``Canal 800-20, ABC Radio``, song from Mexicali BCN. At least as weak as WBAP, easily separable (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO [and non]. 1030, Oct 13 at 1230, travelog about Puebla, then ``Radio Fórmula Ciudad Juárez``. Nice to get a local ID from XEYC, 1/1 kW. Just before it`s hit by C&W CCI from US station NE/SW, presumably KCWJ Blue Springs MO flipping to day power; yes, its official October sunrise being 1230 UT (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NIGERIA. 7254.940, Oct 13 at 0614, VON Hausa service at S9+10, always off-frequency-low, and sometimes missing (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENNG DIGEST)

** SOLOMON ISLANDS. 5020, Oct 13 at 1302, music at S9-S7, no doubt SIBC with another extended broadcast relaying its Wantok FM 96.3 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 11720 & 15220, Oct 12 at 1955, VOA GB carriers are on, and Kriyol after 2000. Also still doing it Oct 13 at 2015 check (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1847, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also ETHIOPIA [non]

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1846 monitoring: confirmed Wednesday October 12 at 2100 on WBCQ webcast, and 7490 was on and audible with else a few minutes earlier. WOR 1846 also confirmed Wed Oct 12 at 2330 on WBCQ 9330.079v-CUSB.

WORLD OF RADIO 1847 ready for first airings Oct 13: confirmed the first SW broadcast, Thursday 1130 on WRMI 9955 when checked at 1142, S9+20, no jamming audible. Also confirmed Thu Oct 13 at 2130 on WRMI, 13695, excellent. Next:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 11580, Oct 12 at 2001, WRMI replaying `Viva Miami` with mailbag for reception reports on multiple frequencies. So this occupies the first quarter of the blank hour on the Wednesday schedule. Not rechecked until 2048 when Brazilian music is playing, so back to World Music by then (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 17775, Oct 12 at 1917, KVOH is still on with gospel music in Spanish; off at recheck 1955, with 17775 occupied by super-splatter from 17765 WHRIBS (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1470, Oct 13 at 1240 UT, classic rock looping ESE/WNW, 1242 UT ``Knock Three Times``, good signal, presumed KSMM Liberal KS, NRC AM Log listed as OLD format, ``Super Hits``, // KODC-LP 102.1. Not that far but doesn`t quite make it on daytime groundwave, 1000/170/500 watts U1. 

Wait a minute, how can a commercial AM station be // an LPFM, by definition non-commercial?? FCC AM Query shows 1470 licensed to Rocking M Media; nothing about being non-commercial, nor any FM connexion. October sunrise not until 1245 UT (November 1315 UT), but could be on 500 watt PSRA.

FCC FM Query shows ``KODC-LP: KS DODGE CITY, Licensee: OUR LADY OF GUADALUPE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH``, quite a mismatch, so are these stations really related?? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search October 13, all looping roughly northeast on the DX-398:

ANNIVERSARIO EMITTENTI
WJJD, Illinois 1160 Khz (1924)

Glenn Hauser logs October 11-12, 2016

** GUATEMALA. 4055, Oct 11 at 0613, R. Truth is still on with music, train bell SFX, not yet NA. Seems OK now, after notice a couple hours earlier that transmissions were irregular due to rain disrupting their studio-transmitter link antenna. Also at 1112, sermon alternating English and Spanish every few words, huge reverb (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** JAPAN. 774, Oct 12 at 1227 from NW, enough signal barely to perceive some YL talk in Japanese intonation: JOUB, NHK-2, Akita. See also UNIDENTIFIED for many more TP JBA carriers (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KURDISTAN [non]. 11600, Oct 12 at 1326, good Kurdish music, 1327 dead air, 1329 more music, 1330 Denge Kurdistanye ID and Kurdish talk; good signal presumably via BULGARIA (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 940, Oct 12 at 1235-1240, continuous Spanish music, from SW, so Santa Rosalía BCS? Replying to my previous log, Tim Hall in ABDX:

``For what it's worth, last week at the Border Inn beverage site I listened to XERLA for a few mornings between 1200-1300 UT. They have a new slogan "Radio Surcalifornia" and frequently tag on "la mejor música para tus oídos" or other similar phrases. They used both male and female announcers between songs, but the "IDs" (slogans) with the additional phrases were generally in a female voice. I can post a short audio clip if you want. Just need to dig it up from my archives. 73 Tim Hall`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [non]. 11720, Oct 11 at 1755, no signal from new frequency for VOA Oromo, which I belatedly learned about from Kim Elliott. But something audible at 1809, perhaps after site change, which? Kim does not have a Need to Know, so neither do we! However the two deleted frequencies, 12040 and 12080 were previously reported to be São Tomé during the 1730 semi-hour.

From this week`s VOA radiogram as of Oct 7:

``VOA to Ethiopia. During last week’s VOA Radiogram, I included the transmission schedule for VOA broadcasts to Ethiopia, which are now jammed in Ethiopia, at least on some frequencies. Two of the frequencies have been changed: 12040 and 12080 kHz have been replaced by 11720 and 15785 kHz. The new schedule is:

Afan Oromo

1730-1800 UTC* 11720 12110 12140 13860 15630 15700 15785

Amharic

Tigrigna

1900-1930 UTC* 11720 12110 13860 15630 15700 15785

* Monday through Friday``

15785 has a JBA carrier at 1755 Oct 11, much weaker than 15700, presumably Lampertheim per previous info; and much much weaker than 15630 which is always best here, believed to be Woofferton.

At 1809: 13860 audible, 15630 with a VOA jingle at 1810; 15785 now very poor but better than 15700. No signals audible on 12140, 12110. 15630 is not synchronized with 11720 et al., if really the same programming. AND: NO DRM jamming audible at all on any of these, but does not mean none is being transmitted.

Wolfgang Büschel has reworked above schedule for the DXLD yg, somehow adding transmitter sites: note how many change from one language to the next, but also some change site amid language blox; a fluid situation not necessarily same from day to day:

``IBB / VOA to Ethiopia frequency changes. During last week's VOA Radiogram, I included the transmission schedule for VOA broadcasts to Ethiopia, which are now {WHITE NOISE DIGITAL SCRATCHING, wb.} jammed in Ethiopia, at least on some frequencies.

Two of the frequencies have been changed: 12040KWT and 12080WOF have been replaced by 11720LAM and 15785WOF. The new schedule is:

Highlights of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity 03 - 09 October 2016

Solar activity was at very low levels with a few background flares
observed from Regions 2598 (N14, L=174, class/area Dai/140 on 07
Oct), 2599 (S14, L=144, class/area Cko/460 on 05 Oct) and 2600 (N13,
L=105, class/area Cso/110 on 09 Oct). On 08 Oct, between
08/1500-1700 UTC, a 10 degree long filament erupted in the NE
quadrant centered near N38E40. A slow-moving, asymmetric,
partial-halo CME was observed in LASCO C2 imagery, first visible at
09/0048 UTC.

No proton events were observed at geosynchronous orbit.

The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit was at
high levels during the entire summary period. A maximum of 32,138
pfu was observed at 03/1640 UTC.

Geomagnetic field activity was highlighted by mostly unsettled to
active levels on 03-05 Oct. An isolated minor storm (G1-Minor)
period was observed early on 04 Oct. Mostly quiet levels were
observed from 04-09 Oct with isolated unsettled and active periods
were observed early on 07 and 08 Oct, respectively. The enhanced
geomagnetic activity was due to high speed winds from a recurrent
positive polarity coronal hole. Some further enhancement occurred
early on 04 Oct due to CME effects from an eruptive filament
observed early on 01 Oct.

The solar wind environment began the period at about 500 km/s,
increased to near 600 km/s midday on 04 Oct and slowly decreased to
end the period at about 370 km/s. Total field generally ranged from
2-6 nT with a peak of 10 nt observed midday on 04 Oct. The Bz
component was mostly variable between +/- 6 nT. Phi angle was in a
general positive orientation throughout the period.

FORECAST OF SOLAR AND GEOMAGNETIC ACTIVITY 10 OCTOBER-5 NOVEMBER 2016

Solar activity is expected to be at very low levels with a chance
for C-class flare activity throughout the outlook period.

No proton events are expected at geosynchronous orbit.

The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit is
expected to be at high levels on 10-11, 16-18, 24-26, 30-31 Oct and
01-06 Nov increasing to very high levels on 27-29 Oct. This is due
to the anticipated influence of multiple, recurrent CH HSSs. Normal
to moderate levels are expected for the remainder of the outlook
period.

Geomagnetic field activity is expected to be at unsettled to active
levels on 11-18, 23-31 Oct and 01 Nov. G1 (Minor) field activity is
possible on 13-15, 17 and 23-31 Oct with G2 (Moderate) levels
possible on 24-26 Oct. This activity is due to the anticipated
influence of multiple, recurrent CH HSSs. Additional enhancement to
the field is expected on 13-14 Oct due to CME effects from the 08
Oct filament eruption. Generally quiet to unsettled conditions are
expected for the remainder of the outlook period.

Test trasmission from Armenia

shortwaveservice.com test transmission today october 11 at 1900-1930 UTC on 6120 kHz from Armenia to Europe

Glenn Hauser logs October 10-11, 2016

** ALBANIA. 9854.95, Oct 11 at 0128, R. Tirana IS and humroar are barely audible at S3. Other Albanian site with CRI English relay was good and clear even before 0100 on 9570. See also TIBET [non] for 9855 occupant then (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ARGENTINA. 11710.59, UT Tue Oct 11 at 0043, RAE in Spanish, talking about Roma, Córdoba, 1914y, poor signal, language change for this hour. Recheck Oct 11 at 0349, now I measure it on 11710.614, still poor but can tell it`s in English, again talking about Córdoba.

Programming was confirmed to have started Thursday Oct 6, but explaining the no-shows over the weekend, Arnaldo eSlaen told the DXLD yg on October 6: ``Hi! I am Arnaldo Slaen, manager from "Actualidad DX.com.ar", the new DX programme in Spanish with 45 minutes each Saturday. These days the station is transmitting only music and identifications. The new programmes from RAE begin next week. I am going to report the new sked this Saturday in all DX Lists. 73 Arnaldo``

So presumably from Oct 15 there finally will be Saturday and Sunday broadcasts, and may we expect a 45-minute English translation of the DX program during the UT Sunday 0300 hour? Arnaldo is already deeply involved by phone in the 53-minute weekly DX program `La Rosa de Tokio` via WRMI et al., so I assume this one on RAE ATTW will be different (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** COLOMBIA. 5910.01, Oct 11 at 0103, Spanish at S7 citing a capítulo, so another erratic appearance by Alcaraván Radio.

6010.145, Oct 11 at 0104, an even weaker signal here, presumably sibling station The Voice of Thy Conscience, and traces of another off-frequency slightly higher(?) which would be R. Inconfidência, Brasil (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 11930, Oct 11 at 0039, post-Martí there is not much jamming noise needed, but again am hearing those curious strings of beeps, how many varying, and the pitch of each string varying (with BFO on, so rather their exact frequency offset is changing). Evidently some alternative application of the DentroCuban Jamming Command network, but why and what? To convey any intelligence, the only known factors are number of beeps, and exact frequency offset (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GUATEMALA. 4055, as I am about to post this report, no time to turn on the radio, but just received from TGAV this notice dated 0407 UT Oct 11. It should normally be on air until about 0610*:

``We ask your pardon to all our listeners of Radio Truth short wave at 4055 kHz. Our signal is irregular right now due to the fact that it is raining, and there is nobody working at Mount Horeb, and we can't do anything to avoid it. There is nobody at Mount Horeb. Every time it rains, our link antenna fails, and there is nobody to correct the situation there. We have not found a person to work there. The situation will be corrected by itself when it stops raining. Our Internet system and Transworld Radio Truth are funtioning normally.

Dr. Édgar Amílcar Madrid, Manager and Director``

(Glenn Hauser, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OMAN. 11650, Oct 11 at 0046, S3-S5 signal with Qur`an by a tenor, surely not a soprano, so presumably R. Sultanate of Oman is again on this unscheduled frequency overnight (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PERU. 5980, Oct 11 at 0059, JBA carrier with splash from 5985 WRMI adding up to S7, R. Chaski, Urubamba, until autocutoff at 0101:07*, which is exactly 1 minute later than last check 9 days ago, Oct 2 until 0100:07*, or 6.666+ seconds later per noctem (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** THAILAND [non?]. 15565, Oct 11 at 0034, S4 signal with heavy Doppler flutter. Scheduled this hour only is VOA Chinese at 30 degrees from Udorn, but I may well be hearing the CNR1 ChiCom jammer instead, as even this is a lot more signal than I am getting from R. Thailand`s so-called North American service on nearby 15590 at 38 degrees from same site (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TIBET [non]. 9855.0, Oct 11 at 0048, very poor S4-S5 talk in Chinese? Scheduled this hour only is VOA Tibetan via KUWAIT, and could well be hearing the CNR1 ChiCom jammer instead (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TURKEY. 9735, Oct 11 at 0050, very poor music with flutter, evident aside 9730 Romania which is not overpowering tonight. It`s Voice of Turkey in Turkish at 72 degrees. They no longer bother to broadcast any Turkish for North America (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENNG DIGEST)

** U S A. 15220, Oct 10 at 1948, S9+10, open carrier/dead air, typical warmup behavior of VOA, but nothing scheduled here. I stay with it and hear no modulation except some occasional crackles until: 1959, ``Voice of America, Washington DC, signing-on``, but modulation and/or carrier (partially?) keep cutting off and on, ruining Yankee Doodle; 2000 joining Kriyol language service, not mentioning any frequencies, but right into news/discussion about Syklon Mathieu. 

I quickly scan all other bands, 13, 11, 9, 7, 17, 18 and 21 MHz but the only // found is 11720 which is almost same level and synchronized. Keeps going past 2015 rather than cutting to irrelevant VOA One rock music filler as they were doing during the axual hurricane strike a week ago with 15-minute Kriyol hourtop new relays on SW, 7305 evenings and later 7405 (but missing any Kriyol?), plus 9565 in the mornings; but that all stopped October 5.

I wonder if these 15220/11720 broadcasts picked up immediately and we just now found them, or just now inaugurated? VOA website is of course no help, Lavwadlamerik, http://www.voanouvel.com --- can`t find anything about a pwogram on any SW frequency, but lots about TV and podcasts. I suppose Haitians can only know about them by word of mouth, bandscanning themselves, or maybe mentions on FM or TV relays, in which case they don`t need SW. So how long will this go on? 

O, 2039 recheck, both these are gone again, so must have been for about one semihour. Back later, different frequencies lower for evening? Not back at 2120 rerecheck. Then I check all four frequencies sometime during each successive hour, 22, 23; Oct 11 after 00, and 01, and no show of any more VOA Creole or One filler music.

BTW, what timezone is Ayiti in? WRTH says UT -4 DST until Nov 6 like USA; but this says Haïti does not observe DST this year, i.e. UT -5:

http://www.timeanddate.com/time/change/haiti

This means altho it is well to the east by latitude of most of the USA, except New England, spanning 72 degrees W, and of course, also *east* of Sputnik Kyba, its local clock is one hour *behind*, not ahead of those countries! 

But it`s not Haiti which is out of step, rather those who impose daylight shifting upon themselves. Helloooo, way out there in the Caribbean, it`s the same clock time as in Enid, west of 97.5, so which ought to be on UT -7 yearound (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [non]. 15630, Oct 10 at 1730, VOA opening Oromo presumably via Woofferton UK, clear of jamming --- but at 1731 I hear a carrier come on hetting it from lo side, approx. 15628.7, but before I can pin it down, at 1732 it switches to broadband DRM noise jamming, no doubt from ETHIOPIA, but at least over here, VOA is still readable if one understood the language. The brief AM carrier must be part of the set-up process for the DRM jamming transmission.

Then I look for the other frequencies: 13860, nothing audible, as to be expected if sites are correct as via Wolfgang Büschel in DXLD 16-29: Thailand until 1800, switch to UAE for the Amharic hour. 

``Oromo to East Africa

1730-1748 12040SAO   12080SAO  12110LAM  12140MEY  13860UDO  15630WOF

1749-1800 12040SAO   12080SAO  12110LAM  12140UDO  13860UDO  15630WOF

1730-1800 additional 15700LAM``

15700, Oct 10 at 1734, only a JBA carrier here, as before. In the 12`s, at 1735 I have JBA carriers on 12140+ off-frequency? And 12110 (12105 WTWW not on till circa 1800, maybe). DRM noise jamming is probably on these, but all too weak to propagate over here on the lower band. Nothing heard on 12080, 12040 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) 

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1846 monitoring: confirmed Monday October 10 at 2330 on WBCQ, 9330.069v-CUSB, back up to usual fair signal. Next:

Tue 1100   WRMI 9955 to SSE

Tue 2130   WRMI 15770 to NE

Tue 2330   WBCQ 9330v-CUSB to WSW

Wed 1315.5 WRMI 9955 to SSE

Wed 2100   WBCQ 7490v to WSW

Wed 2330   WBCQ 9330v-CUSB to WSW

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 11580, Oct 10 at 2001 check, WRMI reconfirmed still with World Music starting this hour at least on Monday. Altho changes have been made all A-season, the WRMI transmission and non-9955 program schedules now have a new as-of date on them, October 6.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1nEVwCMB9RSKowLzLXamyayVpCzjmPAw_SB1r3YOdzQc/edit?pref=2&pli=1#gid=0

still showing blankblox Mon-Tue-Wed 20-21 on 11580. I don`t notice any significant changes since last I spied it a day or two ago.

7730, Oct 11 at 0058, S Asian song during WRMI World Music still running this hour on UT Tue but after 0100 it`s back to BS (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 17775, Oct 10 at 2004, KVOH in another expanded transmission beyond nominal 1900* --- Spanish from some iglesia. Perhaps staying on to demonstrate how victimized they are by co-religionists at LeSEA, major splatter from 17765 WHRI, Christians vs Christians! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9930, Oct 10 at 2007, S9+20 open carrier except for big hum, from WTWW-2. So are they trying to bring Dave Ramsey back, or what? 9475 is nominal, and 12105 is AWOL (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9605, Oct 11 at 0126, S7 signal, but just barely modulated, presumably the WHRI relay of KBS World Radio in Spanish. Not the first time thus. In case it might be instead the RHC spur from 9535, I check that and no match now (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1680, Oct 11 at 0112 UT, ``One great song after another, only on 99.7 – MyFM``. I copied it as 93.7, but translator listed wagging this dog of KRJO Monroe LA, is on 99.7 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1500, Oct 11 at 0115 UT, really bad noise from east/west, QRMing KSTP sports from the NNE unless nulled. Different sound but presumably same spoiler mystery station we have been hearing for months making unstable hetties above and below 1500 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

 

UNIDENTIFIED. 11770.933, Oct 10 at 1737, S3 carrier, too weak to be sure if there`s some modulation or not. Cf previous report: 11770.921, Oct 10 at 0534 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 12000, Oct 10 at 1736, about S6 open carrier, dead air again today as also heard Oct 5 at 0038. Maybe local, but I don`t hear it all the time, or other times (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 12281-USB, Oct 11 at 0038, weak 2-way in Japanese. Must be some maru as the 2002 SW Frequency Guide by Klingenfuss, which I have handy for quick reference, hoping ute info isn`t too outdated, shows this frequency is ship channel 1218, paired with QSX 13128 shore stations, including JBO Tokyo, but also others in Chile, Philippines, Cape Verde, Italy, Belgium, Turkey, which I`d think would lead to a lot of conflicts (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

This report dispatched at 0509 UT October 11

Radio Seagull back on 747 khz

 A couple of observations on the new Dutch low power AM stations:

Radio Seagull noted back on 747 kHz, a great signal via the Dokkum globaltuner when checked at 1530 today. This is from a low power (100W?) transmitter on board the LV Jenni Baynton anchored near Harlingen.
Also confirmed on the same remote receiver that Radio 0511 from Buitenpost has moved to its allocated 1485 khz channel (ex 1494) - also a strong signal at Dokkum this afternoon.

VOA Kriyol back on SW

** U S A. 15220, Oct 10 at 1948, S9+10, open carrier/dead air, typical warmup behavior of VOA, but nothing scheduled here. I stay with it and hear no modulation except some occasional crackles until: 1959, ``Voice of America, Washington DC``, signing-on, but modulation and/or carrier (partially?) keep cutting off and on, ruining Yankee Doodle; 2000 joining Kriyol language service, not mentioning any frequencies, but right into news/discussion about Syklon Mathieu.
