WORLD OF RADIO SCHEDULE

ALAN ROE`S HITLIST OF SWBC STATIONS

** ALBANIA. 7475, Feb 7 at 0229, NO signal from R. Tirana; propagation remains degraded, but Romania is audible on 40m. Expect English to North America in A-17 at 0130 to resume 9855 or so (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ARGENTINA. 11710.6v, Feb 7 at 0220, NO signal from RAE; it`s never strong but usually detectable on weeknights; and ought to be, compared to Brazil 11780 propagating at S9+25, and the other much weaker 25m ZYs. I also have not heard anything recently on 15345v in the afternoons. So is RAE off completely, Arnaldo? But see my 6060 log (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CANADA. 3330-CUSB, Feb 7 at 0255, CHU is AWOL again, and maybe from 7850, or is that a JBA carrier from it? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. 4900, Feb 6 at 1400, 5+1 timesignal about a sesquisecond late, S6-S8, and not // 4940. At 1503, still VP carriers detectable on both, 4940 slightly stronger. These are Voice of Strait, Fuzhou, 4900 being a new frequency, cf. my previous report. The referenced Japanese forum has had further info about this, unclear about total schedule, languages:
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 5040, Feb 7 at 0240, NO RHC, only weak S8-S6 carrier. Yet 5025, R. Rebelde is active again in evening, at S9+40 with music. I can`t see how 5040 could be anything but RHC transmitter, perhaps on exciter only, as it never has any CCI (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KURDISTAN [non]. 11600, Feb 6 at 1425, no signal from Denge Kurdistane during the segment allegedly via PRIDNESTROVYE, so off the air? We`ll see what happen when FRANCE is supposed to start at 1500. Already at 1454 recheck I do get a JBA carrier on 11600; then *1459:55 cut on a strong open carrier at S9-S7. Not until 1502:02.5 is presumed Kurdish talk faded up, JIP (joined in progress). As per previous logs, when KCH is on, the transition at 1500 is virtually seamless (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NORTH AMERICA. 7615, Feb 7 at 0226, here`s Station YHWH on another new frequency, at S9-S7; still at 0246 but fading down past 0255+. Bob LaRose, San Diego had also discovered this, and also heard by Walt Salmaniw, BC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1863 monitoring: confirmed UT Tue Feb 7 at 0030 on WRMI, 7730, S9+40; also on WBCQ 9329.9v-CUSB, poor. Next:
Tue 1200   WRMI 9955 to SSE, 6855 to WNW
Tue 2130   WRMI 15770 to NE, 6855 to WNW
Tue 2300   WRMI 9955 to SSE
Wed 0030   WBCQ 9330v-CUSB to WSW
Wed 1030   WRMI 5850 to NW, 6855 to WNW
Wed 1415.5 WRMI 9955 to SSE, 6855 to WNW
Wed 2200   WBCQ 7490v to WSW
Thu 0030   WBCQ 9330v-CUSB to WSW
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. (7490.1), UT Tue Feb 7 at 0100-0200, since I`m at the computer, listen to WBCQ online for `From the Isle of Music`. 

Bill Tilford is adding another program come March 3, UT Fridays 0000-0030 on 7490, `Uncle Bill`s Melting Pot` of American musical variety, he tells the MARE Tipsheet; and of course shifting an hour earlier one biweek later due to DST, Thursdays at 2300. I think I have converted the times correctly, unlike MARE (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7505.01, Feb 7 at 0228, WRNO with YL huxtress, seems unreasonably steady rather than wandering as I listen, so impatiently move on and don`t get back to recheck it in the next semihour (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 14770, Feb 7 at 0231, no signal from WHRI second harmonic, while 7385 is S9+50. Harold Sellers, BC had heard 14770 Feb 5 at 0210, almost as strong as 7385. Nor could I hear 14770 when checked 24 hours after that. I`d not expect much signal if any at this distance from SC at that hour, but maybe BC would get longer skip from it, altho I wonder if he really had receiver overload. Can anyone else hear 14770 anywhen? If it`s very strong, see if it remain with attenuation (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) 

** U S A. 5059.1, Feb 7 at 0241, approx. center of second-order spurious hash out of 5085 WTWW, i.e. 2 x 12.95 kHz away, along with the much stronger with some modulation even audible first-order on 5072.05; matched on hi side by 5097.95 and 5110.9. Ted is playing music on one of his sporadic broadcasts, and this time 5085 is about the strongest signal I have ever had on SW, almost pinning the NRD-545 meter at S9+65! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 3195, Feb 7 at 0246, WWRB is still on with usual paranoid politico-gospel huxters, and usual lo-fi audio, hum and breakup. It`s UT Tuesday, so should soon be off completely until UT Sunday (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ZAMBIA. 5915, Feb 7 at 0237, 1 kHz tone at S8-S5, must be ZNBC Radio 1 about to sign on. By 0242, Fish Eagle interval signal is playing and continues until 0251; nice to hear, but can`t get rid of splash from 5910 Romania and 5920 WHRI, equally on both sides even tho they are only slightly stronger. 0251 choral NA, 0253 non-English announcement, drumming and chanting. 

This morning transmission is often cut off early in an hour or so (WRTH shows continuous until 2205), due to power outages. This ``load shedding`` problem is discussed in detail by Ray Robinson and Bill Bingham in DXLD 17-04. Electricity rates are also higher in the mornings, which caused VOH Africa to drop its morning broadcasts completely in favor of evenings. And more in 17-05 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 4070.34, Feb 7 at 0257, JBA CW beacon sending ZN over and over slowly. Previously logged Feb 4 a 0448 as on 4070.36; maybe my estimates are varying rather than the transmission. So where is it? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 7597.4, Feb 7 at 0227, open carrier at S9+25; as I previously reported twice: ``7597.4, Dec 8 at 0532, S9+30 open carrier, equal to my previous log Nov 14 at 0042; utility accomplishing nothing other than occupying frequency?`` Perhaps it`s on once a month, but I missed it in January? This time, also heard by Bob LaRose, San Diego, and Walt Salmaniw, Victoria, measured it on 7597.425 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 11739.15, Feb 7 at 0219, JBA carrier. Seems stable unlike the slightly wandering birdies the NRD-545 produces, so maybe really there. Certainly not a spur out of weak Cuba. No Brazilians on 11740v; maybe missing ARGENTINA, q.v.? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Highlights of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity 30 Jan - 05 Feb 2017

Solar activity was very low through the period with only two B-class
flares observed from Regions 2631 (S05, L=113, class/area Bxo/010 on
31 January) and 2632 (N14, L=085, class/area Dao/060 on 02 February)
on 04 February. No Earth-directed coronal mass ejections were
observed.

No proton events were observed at geosynchronous orbit.

The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit was at
normal to moderate levels on 31 January and reached high levels on
30 January and again on 01-05 February. The largest flux of the
period was 22,414 pfu observed at 04/1820 UTC.

Geomagnetic field activity ranged from quiet to G1 (Minor)
geomagnetic storm conditions. The period began with solar wind
speeds near 400 km/s. By 30/1138 UTC, total field and solar wind
speed began to increase indicating the arrival of a co-rotating
interaction region followed by a negative polarity coronal hole high
speed stream (CH HSS). By 31/1153, total field reached a maximum of
17.2 nT while the solar wind speed reached a peak of 796 km/s at
31/2041 UTC. By 31/1600 UTC, total field had decreased to 5-6 nT
while the solar wind speed began to decline early on 02 February
until early on 05 February when another increase to near 630 km/s
was observed. The geomagnetic field responded with quiet to
unsettled levels on 30 January and 04 February, quiet to active
levels on 02-03 and 05 February, and unsettled to G1 (Minor) storm
levels on 31 January through 01 February.

FORECAST OF SOLAR AND GEOMAGNETIC ACTIVITY 06 FEBRUARY - 04 MARCH 2017

Solar activity is expected to be very low levels throughout the
period with a chance for C-class flares on 11-24 February with the
return of old Region 2628 (N12, L=174).

No proton events are expected at geosynchronous orbit.

The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit is
expected to be at normal to moderate levels with high levels likely
on 06-13, 16-19, 22-26 and 28 February - 04 March due to recurrent
CH HSS influence.

Geomagnetic field activity is expected to be quiet with unsettled to
active levels expected on 06-09,14-18, 22-25 and 27 February - 04
March with G1 (Minor) geomagnetic storms likely on 27 February and
01-02 March and G2 (Moderate) geomagnetic storm levels likely on 28
February due to recurrent CH HSS activity.

Glenn Hauser logs February 5-6, 2017


** ARGENTINA [and non]. 6059.74, Feb 5 at 2342, very poor signal, no mod audible, probably SRDA Brasil, on its usual offset. Slightly stronger, I think in Spanish, another carrier close to 6060.0, must be Radio Nacional, rarely heard here, and nothing on its other possible frequencies 9690, 11710.6v, 15345v (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) 

** CANADA. 3330-CUSB, Feb 6 at 0025, CHU is absent when it ought to be well audible, like NY Radio on 3485-USB. But 7850-CUSB is S9 of CHU. Inaudible on 14670-CUSB but could be on, not propagating (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. 6100, Feb 5 at 2348, song in Chinese? S8, then M&W DJs, uncertain language; 6100, Feb 6 at 0000, S Asian song. The latter would be CRI Sinhala service, 150 kW, 234 degrees from Kunming, but AT 2330-2430 it overlaps with CRI Portuguese at 2300-2400, 500 kW, 318 degrees from Beijing site (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 5010, Feb 5 at 2353, S7 JBM signal, enough to make it // 5040 RHC. Also, 5055, Feb 5 at 2354, S8 with R. Rebelde // 5025, so these are up and down 15 kHz leapfrog mixing products between 5040, and yes, Rebelde reactivated 5025 in the evening now, and must be from same site to do this, contrary to Aoki which guesses 5025 is Quivicán, 5040 is Bauta. 5040 & 5010 are in `En Contacto`, Arnie Coro rapid segment.

15230, Feb 6 at 0018, RHC is S9+25 but JBM with music (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1863 monitoring: confirmed UT Monday February 6 after 0030, on WBCQ 9329.79v-CUSB, JBA. Also confirmed UT Mon Feb 6 around 0415 on Area 51 via WBCQ 5129.71-AM, also JBA, but enough to tell I finish at 0431:35, on to Hobart, so WOR must have started at 0402:35. Also confirmed UT Mon Feb 6 after 0430 on WRMI webcast, while 9955 is a JBA carrier. Next:
Tue 0030   WBCQ 9330v-CUSB to WSW
Tue 0030   WRMI 7730 to WNW
Tue 1200   WRMI 9955 to SSE, 6855 to WNW

Tue 2300   WRMI 9955 to SSE
Wed 0030   WBCQ 9330v-CUSB to WSW
Wed 1030   WRMI 5850 to NW, 6855 to WNW
Wed 1415.5 WRMI 9955 to SSE, 6855 to WNW
Wed 2200   WBCQ 7490v to WSW
Thu 0030   WBCQ 9330v-CUSB to WSW
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 11580, Sunday Feb 5 at 2330, WRMI is now a VOA relay station, with Radiogram #201, introed by Kim to feature Saturn rings, VOA 75th anniversary. Axually just substituting for DigiDX on hiatus. Good S9 signal (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5129.62-AM, Feb 5 at 2332, WBCQBS is further off-frequency than before.

7490.11-AM, Feb 5 at 2334, WBCQ is up to here on hi side after having been close to .00 or on low side. After 0000 Feb 6, I listen to most of `Le Show`, where Harry Shearer has been given plenty of satirical fodder by acting president Thump`s subministration. Fairly good with some fading, weakening by end of hour. 

9329.79-CUSB, Feb 5 at 2336, WBCQBS is much lower than it had been. 

So all three transmitters are wandering. Also in short term, with BFO I can hear them wobbling slightly. Is this due to fluxuating commercial power supply? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 3215, UT Mon Feb 6 at 0024, no signal yet from WWRB which is normally on by now UT Sun/Mon/Tue, with a Dave rant if no paid wacko politico-gospel huxters yet. Unchecked later. Try 0200 whether switch to 3195 in time to avoid colliding with WWCR. There was a 45-minute collision UT Jan 29 caught by Lou Johnson, Atlanta, as in DXLD 17-05, WOR 1863 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Glenn Hauser logs February 5, 2017


** CANADA. 7850-CUSB, Feb 5 at 1410, CHU is nominal, trace on 14670-CUSB, and inaudible but presumably active on 3330-CUSB. 7850 and 3330 had been missing Feb 4 at 0435/0452 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. 4900, Feb 5 at 1405, music at S4 vs CODAR peaking S7, talk unseems Mandarin. Similar but not // programming and signal to 4940, V. of Strait, Fuzhou. Ron Howard replies to my previous unID 4900:

``FYI - UNID 4900 kHz.

Note; MAUNO(Finland), Thanks very much for examining it together!

-1110-
 6115 kHz  Voice of Strait(tent.), fair to good signal
 9505 kHz  Voice of Strait(tent.), // 6115 kHz same program
 
 same program "News station" and "Minnan station".

Special schedule for Chinese New Year's Spring Festival ??
-1145- still no-signal both 4900 and 4940 kHz ...

 1200- QSY both frequency;
  4900 <--- 6115="" div="">
  4940 <--- 9505="" div="">

It is not the same program but a separate program. Expected schedule:
 *1000(?)- 1200  6115, 9505
  1200   - 1600* 4900, Minnan program
  1200   - 1600* 4940, News program

RE: Chinese New Year's Spring Festival/Holiday: Most employees in China have at least seven days off work, while students take one month absence from school. It's the longest Chinese holiday! Chinese New year was on January 28. Ron, San Francisco`` 

Well, Feb 5 is nine days after January 28, so is 4900 here to stay? Notably it`s in the local different language, Amoy, than 4940. And what does Minnan mean? It`s now in Aoki of Feb 5:

``4900 VOICE OF STRAIT 1200-1600 1234567 Amoy 50 140 Fuzhou CHN 2606N 11924E VOS Amoy b16 

Meanwhile, the old frequency is listed as, from same coördinates:
4940 VOICE OF STRAIT 1200-1600 1234567 Chinese 50 140 Fuzhou CHN 
4940 VOICE OF STRAIT 1500-1530 ......7 English "Focus on China" 
4940 VOICE OF STRAIT 2230-0400 1234567 Chinese 50 140 Fuzhou`` 
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 6100, Feb 5 at 0711, RHC only frequency still on, for weekly Esperanto, during song, S9+40. BTW, Claudio Galaz has confirmed by monitoring that the third airing on Sundays has been shifted an hour earlier to 2130 on 15370. Perhaps the French department complained about getting preëmpted at 2230? This makes sense as there had been a one-hour break on 15370 between 21 and 22.

17580, Sunday Feb 5 at 1446, RHC is S9+20 of dead air; 17730 overmodulates Arnie at S9+20, while 17750 has lighter more pleasant modulation at S9+10. This is during `En Contacto` at 1435-1449. I`ve noticed that Arnie is speaking Spanish extremely rapidly now, altho I can still understand him, evidently hustling to cram as much info as possible into the 2 minutes or whatever allotted to him, a bit of this, a bit of that, propagation info (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** IRAN. 9900, Feb 5 at 1427, weak Qur`an and then talk at S5. Thought it might be Cairo, but at this hour it`s VIRI in Hindi, 1420-1520, 500 kW due east from Sirjan (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. RF 42, 20, 11, Feb 5 at 1702 UT, with fog this morning not yet burnt off, check for locally-enhanced tropo. Full UHF/VHF DTV bandscan finds Bad signals on these channels, all of which correlate with Tulsa/Muskogee, altho at least one other OK station is on each of them, mostly translators or LD. 

FCC`s repacking will soon shake up the entire TV bands, eliminating everything above 36. Hedging bets, e.g. KWTV OKC ``9`` on RF 39 already owns KSBI RF 23, which is where I bet KWTV will wind up (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SRI LANKA [and non]. 9775, Feb 5 at 1422, hymn by choir, unknown language but recognizable as ``Wonderful Words of Life``. Surely a missionary station, BUT per Aoki --- only thing on 9775 at any time, is CNR2, China Business Radio, at 0900-1605 & 2055-0200, 150 kW at 270 degrees from Beijing 491 site. A.k.a. Voice of the Economy, per WRTH 2017.

In this case, better info in HFCC: 9775 at 1330-1430, SLBC, Trincomalee, SRI LANKA, 125 kW at 345 degrees in Hindi. Must be one of their gospel-huxter clients, never such detail with HFCC. Let`s try EiBi: 

Here we go: it`s FEBA India at 1400-1430 daily in a variety of languages, NOT including Hindi! Only English being Mondays 1415-1430.

Also with weak USB 2-way QRM at 9775.5. I`m always looking for a carrier on 9774, which if I ever hear it, will be Fu Hsing BS, Taiwan, per Aoki only 10 kW ND from Kuanyin, in Chinese at 04-06, 08-10, 11-13 and 23-01 --- but I believe Ron Howard has been reporting it inactive, and hardly active on its other frequency, 9410 at same hours, which clashes with China, and several other stations; and per Aoki from same transmitter also Chinese numbers at 0400-0430 daily, XingXing GBD2 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TURKEY [and non]. 9785+, Feb 5 at 1425, VOT IS, poor at S3-S5, so today TRT has failed to prolong wrong frequency 12035, which is off as it should be by now after English. Also a second 9785 signal slightly different frequency with SAH, double het with BFO. It could be triple: HFCC and Aoki show CRI Thai until 1427 from Kunming site; and also CNR8 in Korean until 1500 from Beijing site (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1863 monitoring: confirmed UT Sunday February 5 at 0030 on WBCQ 9329.84v-CUSB, very poor. Also confirmed Sun Feb 5 starting at 0428:10 on WA0RCR, 1860-AM: Vern introduces, WOR opening edited out the country list allowing as little music as possible. Good S9+30! And no CWQRM this week.

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 15670, Sunday Feb 5 at 1411, S4-S2 open carrier. KSDA Guam finishes at 1400 daily, maybe that; OR VOA Greenville testing 62-kW transmitter in preparation for Radiogram, Sunday only at 1930. Such tests are often suspected after 14 UT, probably when day shift starts at GB (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Glenn Hauser logs February 3-4, 2017


** ANGUILLA [and non]. 6072-6108, Feb 4 at 0440, splash from still distorted University Network 6090 audible out this far, i.e., plus/minus 18 kHz, and really bothering 6080 V of Turkey attempting English to North America (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CANADA. 2749-USB, Feb 4 at 0454, YL robotic English marine weather, VP S7 at same level as noise.

2598-USB, Feb 4 at 0455, sounds like same YL with robotic marine weather, gale warning, mentions times in EST, and then AST; slow fades past 0458. Surprised to find this stronger than 2749, not usually the case with NS vs NL distances. Don`t have two receivers at hand to match them, but at this hour may well be // and both from Québec as per Canadian CG listings, from most recent start times, and nothing further after these for a few hours:
0437, 2598, VCF Les Escoumins, site: Natashquan  QC 50 08 40 -61 48 00
0437, 2749, VCF Les Escoumins, site: La Vernière QC 47 21 26 -61 55 36
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CANADA [and non]. 6754-USB, Feb 4 at 0435, CHR with Thule aviation weather, VG at S9+30, surprising since I just noticed 7850 CHU inaudible. What a difference a MHz of MUF makes. Or rather, CHU seems to be OFF, as at 0452, nothing audible on 3330 either! Yet 3485-USB New York Radio is in well (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 5025, Feb 4 at 0445, R. Rebelde is still off, while 5040 RHC is on and so is 4765 R. Progreso. 5025 is back on at 1349 check, per typical behavior lately (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 6060, Feb 4 at 0440, RHC Spanish is AWOL; and so is RHC English at 0644 check.

[and non] 6165, Feb 4 at 0443, RHC is very strong at S9+50, better than usual, so the undermodulation is not so much of a drawback. Also splashing plus/minus 14 kHz to 6151-6179, so forget about pulling 6160 CKZN past this as used to be possible. (BTW, CKZU is still off and inquiry by Colin Newell to someone at CBC Vancouver gets no definite word about its status) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PERU. 5980, Feb 4 at 0103, JBA carrier from R. Chaski detectable despite pointless Cuban pulse jamming, on R. Mart? frequency which doesn`t come on for another six hours! Until Chaski autocutoff at 0107:18.5*, which is 40.0 seconds later than last catch 6 nights ago, Jan 29 until 0106:38.5*, or averaging 6-2/3 seconds later per, right on slippage schedule (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SOUTH CAROLINA [and non]. 7315, Feb 4 at 0640, S9+30 halting robotic voice about Israel, attributed to Breaking Israel News. Not hoarse, and not emotional, which is a pleasant respite from Brother HyStairical himself, as this is merely the TOM disservice via WHRI, and // not synchro with 7570 WRMI, etc. (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** UGANDA [non]. 15240-, Sat Feb 4 at 1752, JBA carrier, presumed R. Munansi via WWRB. Slightly on low side as measured previously but not now (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 212 kHz, Feb 4 at 0521, NDB Morse ID repeating as CFV, which per 
is Coffeyville KS. (Seems to me to be on 213, but listed at 212).

521 kHz, Feb 4 at 0525, beacon INE. (Seems to be on 520 but listed as 521). Location: Kona AP near Missoula, Montana. Well, that`s not bad.

But I have had zero luck hearing any European LWBC, not even carriers, when others are reporting them from various parts of North America. I guess the NRD-545 plus Wellbrook ALA-330S antenna are inadequate for them. But at least I log a few beacons during such descents (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [non]. 17895, Sat Feb 4 at 1745, VOA is good with discussion of early Mercury astronaut program; some deep fades, on BST-1 caradio. TG for SMG relaying VOA, violating Separation of Church & State. Sked 16-18 UT, 250 kW, 144 degrees toward ME/EAf, but plenty signal back to here (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1863 monitoring: confirmed Friday February 3 at 2230, on 3 x WRMI: 11580 VG, 6855 good, 5950 JBA. Not confirmed the Sat 0030 on WBCQ 9330v-CUSB, but a JBA carrier at 0055 (while 9265 WINB and 7490 WBCQ are audible). Not confirmed Sat Feb 4 at 1531 on HLR 7265-CUSB: via UTwente SDR, I strain to hear even a snatch of the WOR theme, but two other weak stations only, CRI Hindi via East Turkistan, and Azad Kashmir Radio? BUT, let it play and at 1556 recheck, now WOR is in well atop the QRM! Did HLR come on late, or was there a drastic change in propagation the last few minutes? However, my audio is looping and skipping. I HOPE that`s the UTwente or internet connexion fault to here, rather than transmitted that way. Only a few seconds overlap with crash start of CRI Russian at *1600.

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 15770, Fri Feb 3 at 2132, WRMI is re-re-re-re-re-playing the CDXA special yet again, 6 months after original airing! In Spanish but English ID at the moment; marked different anniversaries of club, of Ecos del Torbes, Venezuela, ex-4980, and of `América en Antena` show. Guest English announcer manages to mispronounce Cristóbal and Táchira. This bumps `Studio DX` in Italian, scheduled for Fri 2130 on 15770.

6855, Feb 4 at 0432, WRMI in Spanish with a fin-de-año special, announcing it will also be repeated Jan 1 at 0500 on 9955, for ``Noche de San Silvestre``, música, S9+10, and // 5985 as usual at this hour, which is S9+35. Two guys in Colombia are hosting; 0439 the only ID they give is for Radio Miami Internacional. I had no advance notice of this whatsoever before NY Eve, but mitigates not hearing much of special interest at that time. Perhaps this too will keep repeating for six months? On the 5985 sked for Sat 0430 is Frecuencia al Día.

[and non] Speaking of COLOMBIA, I haven`t heard 5910 in several weeks of bandscanning past it at various evening hours, altho I`ve seen a few reports of Alcaraván Radio. The only B16 blockage times are 01-03 Romania, 0430-0500 Lithuania (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9395, Feb 4 at 0501, WRMI with `TruNews` discussing a CFR article by Rose Brooks in Foreign Policy about ``3 ways to get rid of Trump before 2020``, culminating in a military coup as last resort (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7490.1-AM, Feb 4 at 0428, WBCQ is VP at S6, and off-frequency to the high side recently rather than low. Should be `Financial Survival` [sic] at this time, but then more BS until 0800*. The WBCQ Program Guide *still* hasn`t been updated to show all the additional Overcomer hours (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7504.9, Feb 4 at 0428, WRNO is on at S7-S9, but just barely modulated. It`s often something (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 4070.36, Feb 4 at 0448, slow JBA CW beacon repeating ID in Morse as ZN. I was checking for GT which I heard two nights ago on 4070.5, and surprised to hear this different one instead on slightly different frequency. Both remain unlisted here or anywhere at:
So something new? Whence? Second one I`ve heard in ages on this band (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 4739.0, Feb 4 at 0445, the strong open AM carrier heard several days and times is gone again. What was it? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 4900, Feb 4 at 1350, very poor signal with music vs CODAR swishes. 4900 strikes me as a non-reported broadcast frequency from Asia or anywhere. Also a carrier on 4895, so figure it`s not AIR off-frequency. 1358 intermittent interruptions by noise bursts sounding like DRM; definite 5- or 6-pip time signal to 1400. 

Uplooked later, indeed, no 4900 listings at all in Aoki or HFCC, but EiBi shows the V24 Korean Numbers Station, 1500-1510 UT only, from S Korean site g-Goyang, Gyeonggi-do / Kyonggi-do, 37N36-126E51, to Oceania (??). So could the S Korea numbers station be on at this hour playing music and timesignal, or what? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

AIR Regional SW stations to be revived....


Sharing this good news .....responding to a query during DRM India Round Table conference Engineer-in-chief , All India Radio confirmed that regional services of All India Radio on shortwave will be revived & a proposal has already been submitted to Government.

Trai recommends shutting down of analog transmission by 2023
The broadcast regulator Trai today recommended introduction of digital terrestrial transmission for broadcast services in a phased manner and complete shut down of analog transmission by end of 2023.he broadcast regulator Trai today recommended introduction of digital terrestrial transmission for broadcast services in a phased manner and complete shut down of analog transmission by end of 2023. “Digital terrestrial transmission may be implemented in the country in three phases with complete migration and analog switch off by December 2023,” the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India said in its recommendations on the “Issues related to Digital Terrestrial Broadcasting in India”.At present, terrestrial TV broadcasting in India is under the exclusive domain of Doordarshan (Prasar Bharati), the Public Service Broadcaster and it is predominantly analog.

While a large number of TV channels are available to the consumers through various delivery platforms such as DTH, Cable TV, IPTV, HITS etc, Trai said, the existing terrestrial TV platform provides only a few channels which do not offer a value proposition to the viewers.“This is a move that may lead a combination of multiple DTT transmitters at a location, which can provide a rich bouquet of SDTV, HDTV, UHTV, mobile TV channels, radio service and other value added services,” Trai Chairman RS Sharma said.Trai has said that private players should be permitted to provide DTT services along with the public service broadcaster.Public broadcaster may be permitted to operate maximum three transmitters at a given location out of which one may be exclusively used for provision of mobile TV services, the regulator said.“Private broadcasters may be permitted to operate maximum four transmitters ( with spectrum capacity of 8 MHz each) at a given location subject to availability of spectrum,” Trai said.The regulator has also suggested that maximum number of DTT providers may be capped at five (one public broadcaster and four private broadcasters) as per availability of spectrum.Sharma said that in the digital era, consumers prefer to have access to number of TV channels on various devices such as mobile phones and other handheld devices.“…terrestrial viewers are deprived of such benefits due to non-availability of digital terrestrial broadcasting services. Terrestrial television broadcasting is the preferred method for providing free-to-air TV services to the people in most of the countries,” he added.Trai has recommended that DTT should be deployed in metros by December 2019 in phase 1, cities having more than 10 lakh population as per Census 2011 should be covered by December 2021 and rest of India by December 2023.“In order to create a supportive eco-system, Ministry of Information and Broadcasting along with Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology may devise policy framework to make available DTT compliant devices,” Trai said.
