FRSH Seasonal Broadcast Sun Dec. 18th 2011

Following successful December broadcasts in the past few years (but also long time ago), FRS-Holland will again take to the airwaves over the X-Mas Holiday Season. December 18th we will continue a long time tradition. On that day FRSH will be on 7600//5800 kHz between 07:52- 14:00 CET. After close down, the full programming will be repeated via the internet between 15:52- 22:00 CET: < http://nednl.net:8000/frsh.m3u>.  Pxs will be presented by Jan van Dijk doing the German show & Dave Scott will be playing classic rock. Both shows contain radio related items. Paul Graham will be hosting another classic FRS Golden Show playing great 60s/ 70s stuff as well as a feature on a land based  pirate radio station from years gone by. Peter Verbruggen will look back to what happened in the past on December 18th (Day Calendar) and plays a mix of 80s/90s/00s records in FRS Magazine. He will also host two FRS Goes DX editions with the latest news from the wonderful world of wireless. During all pxs we will read out October mail and Season's Greetings. There's also the Phrase that Pays. And: we make a flash back to December 1988 when FRS-Holland was on the air with a Seasonal broadcast. Remeniscing....23 years ago.....Tune in next Sunday and taste the spirit of December!! It will be worth while.

73s, Peter V. (on behalf of the FRS staff)

Glenn Hauser logs December 15, 2011

** ANGUILLA. 6090, Caribbean Beacon/University Network is missing again tonight, UT Dec 15 at 0344, audiblizing ETHIOPIA, q.v. Day frequency 11775 is still heard around 1337 tuneby. Could be it`s stuck there 24 hours, as happens periodically, but not propagating at night. Or does it still go off circa 2200? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ANTARCTICA. 15476, Dec 15 at 1339 and 1442, no trace of a carrier from LRA36 during its last known hours of 13-15 Thursdays (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BELARUS [non]. 6155, Dec 15 at 0426 strong signal in funny Russian repeatedly mentioning Belarus, and very good modulation too. So is it R. Belarus, as used at 17-23 for external service? No! It`s R. Liberty, via Wertachtal, GERMANY at 04-05 in Belorussian (also 03-04 via Lampertheim), a neat setup to `inherit` Minsk`s listeners the next morning: 0431 ID in passing as R. Svoboda. Strangely enough, Belarus` own 6155 schedule is missing from EiBi, but not from Aoki or HFCC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHAD. 6165, Dec 15 at 0428, RN Bonaire has just gone off, so now we hear hilife music, fast SAH from some CCI, Zambia? Or BBC Cyprus in Persian. 0430 French, more music, from RNT, which supposedly just signed on at 0427, but lately has been running 24 hours. Currently there is a sesquihour window until Bonaire is back on 6165 at 0600 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. For the fourth day, no Firedrake at all to be heard! Is anyone, anywhere, hearing FD at anytime? Dec 15 searched 7-19 MHz at 1335-1345 and 1440-1445. Maybe Sound of Hope has quit running all those 100-watt nuisance transmitters (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 13670, Dec 15 at 1439 and also after 1500: today`s anomaly from RHC, this frequency is missing tho scheduled until 1600 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also IRAN

** EGYPT. 6270, Dec 15 at 0425, huge S9+25 signal from R. Cairo, but just barely modulated with Qur`an. It`s listenable by turning the volume all the way up, but more modulation, less signal would be more efficient, and never forget to turn the volume down before tuning away from the frequency. Gone after 0430. HFCC shows this is 200 kW, 325 degrees from Abis, including English to E NAm at 2300-2430, and furthermore exactly same parameters at 1800-2245 to Europe in Italian, German, French, English 2115-2245 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ETHIOPIA. 6090, Dec 15 at 0344, like 21 hours earlier, Anguilla is missing (stuck on non-propagating day frequency 11775? Or just off the air), so instead we can hear Horn of Africa music; and no het either like after 0600 from off-frequency Nigeria and/or Brasil. 0352 starts talking in presumed Amharic, but signal is weakening vs QRM; 0400 reverbed announcement, ululations. Presumed Amhara State Radio, as in EiBi at 0255-0600, which strangely enough is missing from Aoki, and naturally missing from HFCC. WRTH 2011 says 100 kW, site is Geja, and this Amhara State Regional Radio is in Bahir Dar (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** INDIA. 9425, AIR National Channel from Bangaluru, Dec 15 at 1424 has good signal and modulation in Hindi, but // 9470 from Aligarh is JBM (just barely modulated) as I can tell on weaker signal, despite splash from 9479 WTWW. I listen for the 5-minute English newscast at 1430: soon after it starts there is a semiminute of dead air where apparently a clip of the Chief Minister was supposed to go, then about Indian-Russian coöperation; food inflation in India is at a 4-year low. Caster speaks too rapidly but fortunately with good dixion; can`t decide if the voice is M or F, androgyny being ideal to appeal to all audiences. 1435 back into Hindi, music and talk (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** INDONESIA [and non]. 9526-, Dec 15 at 1425, VOI poor signal with low modulation apparently in Indonesian; the 9530 Chinese radio war ends at 1400, making the 13-14 English useless, not audible in months, but now VOI is so low that splash from 9520 RVA Philippines in Tamil is bothersome (but would end at 1427).

9680, meanwhile, Dec 15 at 1426, RRI domestic relay has much better signal and modulation during gamelan, but heavy CCI from Taiwan/China; also one of the QRMing stations is putting talking clix on 9680, as well as spikes on 9675 and 9685 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** IRAN [and non]. 7200, Dec 15 at 0333, V. of Justice with Qur`an as always in the first few minutes of VIRI transmissions, atop CCI presumably Sudan which was here first on this bandedge frequency making SAH of about 4 Hz; // 7365 is stronger with Qur`an, but much heavier interference from the Cuban-American radio war; while if VIRI really tried, they could find two clear frequencies this hour on the 7 MHz band, but don`t expect any improvement before A-12. 0335 English translation of Qur`an, 0336 YL with program summary, V. of Justice ID, 0337 hokey news theme by military band, more modern news sounder, and finally, news. Too much QRM to try to listen any further. 0424 recheck, 7200 still with CCI, and 7365 still under the DentroCuban Jamming Command, and Radio Martí (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KOREA NORTH [and non]. 6135, Thursday Dec 15 at 1331, Shiokaze is opening in Japanese; besides nearby bonker in the background, some Juche noise jamming too, not audible here until today, so it`s about time for Sea Breeze to jump frequency again, maybe back to 5910 or 5985; 6015 and 6140 other alternatives registered by JIC MIC in HFCC from Yamata, JAPAN (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KOREA SOUTH [and non]. 4450, Dec 15 at 1325 YL singing, with buzz jamming, // 3480 where no jamming audible, but local noise level remains hi. Am lucky to pull anything thru it on either: V. of the People, clandestine from South to North (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ROMANIA. 17530, Dec 15 at 1342, // slightly weaker 15460, RRI with folk music, German announcements. Despite VG signals and modulation levels, there is something amiss with sort of a ringing sound artifact, especially noticeable on the sidebands of each, evidently a defect in the studio-transmitter-link program feed to Tiganeshti (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 9460, Dec 15 at 1420 I can barely make out the unmistakable rasp of Brother Scare on weak signal amid QRM; HFCC shows 100 kW, 300 degrees via Wertachtal, GERMANY at 14-16, altho TOM`s own schedule claims: ``UK 9460 Europe 10 Am-11 am Daily``.

17580, Dec 15 at 1509 there is BS again, better signal here, strangely running one second ahead of // 9385 WWRB. HFCC shows this as 14-16, 100 kW, 165 degrees plus another 100 kW at 180 degrees, both from Wertachtal, while TOM sked claims: ``EUROPE 17580 Europe 11 Am-Noon Daily``. The 165 transmission is noted ``afly`` in HFCC, while the 180 is ``342``, whatever those mean (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TAIWAN. 7580, Dec 15 at 1320, YL with 8 tonal syllables, separated by pauses. Aoki shows it`s XingXing guanbgo diantai with ``random numbers`` at 1300-1330 in H3E mode, 10 kW nondirexional from Kuanyin site; other half-hour broadcasts from same at 0500, 0600, and 1200. All these miss colliding with VOK`s Japanese service at 0700-1250, except the one at 1200. XingXing means StarStar. If the numbers are really random, the whole thing is pointless, disinformation. More likely they are not random, coded with some hidden significance.

Aoki also shows the 07 and 08 broadcasts are on 7688; at 02 and 03 on 9557; at 04 on 9570; at 09 and 1330 on 7553. H3E means single sideband, full carrier, but which? I did not notice one side was missing (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TAIWAN [non]. 6890, Dec 15 at 0422, RTI via WYFR is in Chinese, not scheduled Spanish, and is // much stronger 6875, another long-running screwup in relay scheduling, as apparently they can only feed one language at a time (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1595 monitoring: Dec 15 at 0500 check, 9955 is nothing but jamming, so it`s safe to assume that the first airing of WOR, on WRMI at 0430 UT Thursday, was also inaudible. Tnx a lot, Arnie! Further WRMI SW broadcasts are: Fri 0600, Sat 0900, 1600, 1830, Sun 0900, 1630, 1830, Mon 1230, plus many more webcasts.

On WTWW: Thursday 2200 on 9479, UT Sunday 0500 on 5755
On WBCQ: Thursday 2230 on 7490
On WWRB: UT Friday 0430v on 3195, 5050
On HLR: Tuesday 1030 on 5980
Also on WRN via SiriusXM 120 to NAm: Sat & Sun 1830, Sun 0930
Full schedule at http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 11520, Dec 15 at 0503, WEWN English is the strongest signal on band (SSOB), and enough to bring with it the squeal and spur field peaking plus and minus 9 kHz; Second SSOB was its Spanish on 11870 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

# SIDC Weekly bulletin on Solar and Geomagnetic activity            #
#--------------------------------------------------------------------#
WEEK 571 from 2011 Dec 05 

SOLAR ACTIVITY
--------------
Solar activity was low with only a few C flares (GOES X-ray
background at B level). There were up to 10 active regions
present on the solar disk early in the week. The main active
region was Catania#66 (NOAA 11363), of type Dki with a Beta-
Gamma magnetic configuration. This region decayed over the
second half of the week.
No low-latitude coronal hole was seen on the solar disk. The only
noteworthy event was the eruption of a large filament in the NE
quadrant of the solar disk on Dec.11, around 6:00UT.

GEOMAGNETIC ACTIVITY
--------------------
During the first 4 days of the week, the solar wind speed
remained below 400 km/s with a weak interplanetary magnetic
field. This led to very quiet geomagnetic conditions.
On Dec.9, the entrance in a new heliospheric sector brought a
slight increase of the interplanetary magnetic field and of
solar wind speed (450 km/s). This induced unsettled conditions
during the last 3 days of the week.

Glenn Hauser logs December 13-14, 2011

** ALBANIA. 5985, Dec 14 at 0620, poor signal with songs, Arabic comments interspersed, from what? Clues at 0626, mentions Turkey, RMB, 0632 Xinhua, ID starting with ``Idha`at``. Then it dawns on me it must be CRI // 7210 via Albania, then confirmed, tho the music did not strike me as Chinese at all. Both are 150 kW, 240 degrees from Cërrik at 05-07. At 0632 there was already QRM from adjacent DentroCuban pulse jamming on 5980, gradually ramping up before R. Martí starts at 0700 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ANGUILLA [non]. 6090, Dec 14 at 0635, Caribbean Beacon is off, uncovering usual het between presumed Nigeria and Brasil, still no chance for the Uruguayan reported testing recently but unlikely to be on at this hour anyway. CB 11775 back on at 1355 check with DGS (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BULGARIA. 7400, Dec 14 at 0604, strong open carrier, some very weak modulation underneath it, then the carrier cuts off. YL talking, bits of Bach, 0610 Beethoven theme opening another program. Nothing but R. Bulgaria scheduled, and here`s what must be happening:

Aoki and EiBi show daily at 0600-0630 R. Bulgaria in Turkish, 170 kW, 126 degrees from Plovdiv; 0630-0700 German, 170 kW, 306 degrees. As we already know, RB kilowastes kilowatts turning on its transmitter long before scheduled German at 0630 (and indeed it was back on by 0620 if not sooner). So R. Bulgaria was interfering with itself, two transmitters on from same site, aiming exactly opposite direxions, Bulgarians vs Bulgarians! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. Firedrake Dec 14, before 1400: NONE found 7-18 MHz at 1356-1400. Has there really been a drastic reduxion in this jamming, or is it just propagation? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA [and non]. 15380, Dec 14 at 1404, RHC has CCI in unknown language producing rippling (rather rapid) SAH (subaudible heterodyne). Must be BSKSA Arabic, scheduled in HFCC only at 12-14, 310 degrees from Riyadh, to CIRAF 39N, i.e. Turkey, but 500 kW carrying on far beyond. Aoki shows HQS rather until 1355, apparently running this transmitter overtime (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** FRANCE [and non]. 7220, Dec 14 at 0601, English news about Liège.
 5925, Dec 14 at 0618, RFI French news, much stronger than // 7390.
17690 via GUIANA FRENCH, Dec 14 at 1401, RFI Spanish news; 17620 and 15300 with French news. So no RFI Musique fill heard at any of these chex, but that does not necessarily mean the strike is over (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ITALY. 7165-LSB, Dec 14 at 0555, bigsig from ham speaking English in very strange accent I could not place. Mentioned KL7 so thought maybe Inuit, but that must have been a contact; finally ID as I2VRN. QRZ.com shows:
ROBERTO VERANI
VIA PAGLIARI BIVIO 6
I-26049 STAGNO LOMBARDO, CREMONA
Italy
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 89.5 stereo FM carrier: I have continued to hear this whenever I am driving around in Enid, strongest on the west side of town. One midday it was stronger around the First Assembly of God church at the intersexion of Oakwood and Chestnut, but I could not pinpoint it there for sure.

Then in the evening, UT December 13 around 0050 UT on the caradio, the carrier now has Xmas rock music, weakening as I drive to the east side of Enid. Following night December 14 it is on again around 0020 UT, strengthening toward the west side. Probably starts modulating somewhat before sunset and on into the evenings, but never turns off the transmitter, poor operating procedure. This thing covers half of Enid, so it`s got to be more than Part 15.

Searching DXLDs, last year an Xmas lite show at a residence in W Enid was broadcasting music to go with it, but that was on 99.7. See DXLD 10-51, and also 10-52, when we were also getting something on 89.5.

Location of the lite show then was Dick Yuhnke, 5701 Pheasant Run Drive. If there is nothing in this year`s Eagles about it, will go there to check if that`s where 89.5 is now coming from. 99.7 is not a clear frequency now with KZLS site change (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 88.3, Dec 14 around 2000 UT, the YFR satellator is back on, dominating the channel in Enid (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PHILIPPINES. 9555, Dec 14 at 1408, VOA Korean is hummy and undermodulated. Same Tinang-2 transmitter is already on 9760 when I tune at 1502, much stronger but also undermodulated and hum during English news (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** RUSSIA. 9840, Dec 14 at 0553, roughly equal mix between VOR English to WNAm via Pet/Kam, and R. Rossii via circa-Moskva site, so nothing has been done about this self-collision until 0600 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 6875, Dec 14 at 0613, RTI German relay instead of Spanish, Chinese talk mixed in to translate. Also very weak // signals on 6750 and 7000. Not sure if these are transmitted spurs, or caused by receiver overload from extremely strong fundamental, but I can`t figure why they would show up at +/- 125 kHz in either case (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [non]. 7290, Dec 14 at 0558, thought I heard ``QSL card`` mentioned in unknown language, an AM ham? No, a broadcaster, and at 0559 ``The Voice of America`` jingle in English, sign-off from ``Washington``. It`s really Kurdish, 100 kW, 105 degrees via Biblis, GERMANY at 05-06 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 890, Dec 14 at 1331 UT, just before LSR, in null of KTLR OKC, promo for employment@kggn.com in Kansas City, other ads; seems religious. NRC AM Log 2011-2012 shows KGGN as a 960-watt direxional daytimer, COL Gladstone MO, ``Great Gospel Radio``. FCC pattern plot shows two-tower broad cardioid peaking 250 degrees with null toward WLS, no protexion for OKC. Seems vaguely familiar: yes, I did log it 12.6 months ago as in DXLD 10-48 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. TP carrier search Dec 14 at 1335-1339 UT circa local sunrise. Extremely weak JBA ones detected on: 774, 792, 828, 882, 1008, 1422, 1494, 1566 (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Glenn Hauser logs December 12-13, 2011

** BOTSWANA. 17715, Dec 13 at 1453, Amerenglish with heavy flutter on audio and frequency wobbling by Doppler. Scheduled as VOA at 14-15, 100 kW, 350 degrees, to shift to 10 degrees at 15-16 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA [and non]. 9785, Dec 13 at 1501, `China Drive` is opening, underneath a stronger carrier with hum, but clear by 1503. VOA Chinese during the previous hour via Tinang, PHILIPPINES, q.v. was a bit slow to turn off the carrier, tsk2; also jammed per Aoki. CRI 9785 is Jinhua site at 264 degrees (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) 

** CUBA [and non]. 13640, Dec 12 at 1947 check, huge collision between roughly equal bigsigs from RHC and AIR, both broadcasting to Europe in French, as has been the case since Nov 7 frequency changes by RHC. Both are outlaw stations, refusing to participate in HFCC, so serves them right for not coördinating, but pity the poor listeners in Europe. I suspect the 500 kW, 300 degrees from Bangaluru have the advantage in Europe. Aoki claims the French segment from RHC at 1930-2000 is 100 kW, nondirexional, while Portuguese and Arabic after 2000 are on 53 degrees. How much longer will this go on? Both stations are obstinate, and we know Arnie doesn`t ever want to admit he made a mistake. Reports, please, from Europe on how the mix is over there at 1930-2030 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** EQUATORIAL GUINEA [non]. Cf previous report under SOUTH CAROLINA [non] --- 15190, checking for any signal from R. Africa, at the times Brother Scare thinx he is on the air, to E Africa, Monday at ``3-4 pm``, probably meaning EDT or EST: no sign of it Monday Dec 12 at several chex, circa 1855, 1947, 2050, 2110 UT. Only extremely weak carrier, probably Brasil at some points, or before 1930 Philippines. Meanwhile, Ascension with YFR on 15195 at 20-22 had its usual good signal, with flutter, and it`s in the same neighborhood as Equatorial Guinea. If Brother Scare is really paying for airtime on ``R. Africa``, he`s wasting his money, or rather that of the suckers who support him (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** FRANCE [and non]. RFI strike situation check Dec 13:
 9765, Dec 13 at 0635, fair with news in English
17690, Dec 13 at 1417 via GUIANA FRENCH, Spanish with history of French space programme; also some ``generator hum``
17620, Dec 13 at 1419, French talk, not musique

Latest update from Mike Cooper Dec 12: ``Workers at RFI on Monday decided "to suspend and not to stop the strike" begun on November 28, according to a statement posted at RFIRiposte. "Other actions are being out in place. The mobilization of workers against the merger of RFI and France 24 is intact," the statement said. Monday morning, union officials delivered a letter to the office of Prime Minister Francois Fillon asking that he block the merger. "Today, the ball is in the court of the Prime Minister," unions said.

A French-language AFP story about RFI on Monday said that, even though
its worldwide audience has declined from 44 million in 2004 to 35.6
million in 2008, it is popular in France with 26 million listeners.
The AFP story added that as much as 80 percent of RFI's programming
has been replaced by music during the strike.``

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KOREA NORTH. 9335, Dec 13 at 1359 open carrier from VOK, except the sound of N. Korean jamming is clearly heard, mixture at same Kujang transmitter site. That`s noise with an oscillating/pulsing sound added. 1400 VOK IS, French sign-on, anthem, with jamming still audible underneath (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KURDISTAN [non]. 11530, Dec 13 at 1410, fair signal from V. of Mesopotamia with Kurdish music via UKRAINE; by 1458 it had faded to JBA. Media Network had a story on the PKK Dec 8; we always have to point out that VOM is brought to us by the same `terrorists` who run Roj TV:

``The PKK is considered a terrorist group by Turkey, the US and the European Union. Its members are fighting for autonomy in Turkey's southeast, a conflict that has killed tens of thousands of people since 1984. Roj TV has a Danish broadcasting license, but has no studios in Denmark.`` Read more from Today's Zaman:http://www.todayszaman.com/news-265129-danish-prosecutors-say-roj-tv-voice-of-pkk-should-be-banned.html

** MAURITANIA [and non]. 7245, Dec 13 at 0638, IGIM is on and chanting vs adjacent Vatican mass on 7250 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MONACO [non]. 5910, Dec 13 at 0644, TWR music-box IS, 0645 Polish. Cannot hear a het or anything from Alcaraván Radio, Colombia, which many nites at other times has the frequency to itself. HFCC has TWR on 5910 only at 0645-0700, 100 kW, 55 degrees from Wertachtal, GERMANY.

At 0650 checked 7225, same YL speaking, but not //. Finally figured out that 7225 was running about 20 seconds ahead of 5910, so different playouts of same program? Separation became more obvious when music started at 0653. HFCC shows 7225 is 100 kW, 300 degrees from Moosbrunn, AUSTRIA at 0644-0659. Are the registered times one minute apart trying to indicate that they are really 20+ seconds apart? In A-11 the lower channel was on 5915 and the higher on 7220, plus Czech at 0600-0615, both from `MCO` = Fontbonne, France, but not any more (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 91.7, Tuesday Dec 13 at 1430 UT as I turn on the breakfast table radio, quite by chance catch another monthly `The Living Room` show on KOSU, pre-empting the final semihour of NPR `Morning Edition`. Gerry Bonds is interviewing a Mideast expert from UCO in the first half, and Moslem/Christian women from Tulsa in the second half, who get together and enjoy each other`s company, Jews and agnostix also welcome. See our previous report on this in DXLD 11-45, when it was heard at same time Tuesday Nov 8 --- so seems to be scheduled on the second Tuesday of each month (plus a couple of earlier times) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PHILIPPINES. 9760, Dec 13 at 1500, where is VOA English news? Finally at 1502, transmitter cuts on and off quickly multiple times during news, finally stays on, but undermodulated and with hum, as also heard last few days. No other carrier on frequency, so this Tinang unit is obviously ailing, presumably the #2 transmitter, 250 kW at 21 degrees USward, also used on 9555 in Korean at 12-15 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** RUSSIA. 9840, Dec 13 at 0634, poor signal from something, presumably R. Rossii, Moscow site, which was absent 24 hours earlier tho propagation was obviously funxioning from that same area on 9996. Still need to check before 0600 on the collision with VOR English from Pet/Kam to WNAm also on 9840, as which one dominates from night to night varies greatly (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TAIWAN [non]. 6875, Dec 13 at 0640, RTI via WYFR still in German instead of Spanish, but explaining Chinese song lyrix and then playing the song; usual huge signal aimed Mexicoward (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9330-CUSB, Dec 13 at 0635, not only no modulation, but no signal from WBCQ, despite Cairo-9305, Bulgaria-9400, BBC-9410 audible, and good signal from WTJC-9370. But at 0704 recheck, WBCQ is back on 9330 with GFRN, and stronger than 9370 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 7295, Dec 13 at 0639, AM signal here not a broadcaster but a ham, with test counts, quick ID sounded like WB3TM or WB3TL but no hits for either on QRZ.com or ARRL.org. Please use fonetix? Algeria AM via France is currently on 7295 only at 05-06, to be extended to -07 from Feb 26 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Glenn Hauser logs December 12, 2011

** CANADA. 6030, Dec 12 at 0610, Xmas song by Loretta Lynn, must be CFVP Calgary, as DentroCuban jamming is again absent this UT Monday while R. Martí is resting at 04-10. Still QubaRM tnx to overload from RHC 6010 and 6050, with Morse code introduxion of DXers Unlimited at 0612 vs this hectowatt signal (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHILE. 17680, Dec 12 at 1530, CVC La Voz with fully-detailed announcement about their $500 contest. One listener per month wins that; seems they are more interested in knowing *why* you listen to them on SW, than getting formal reception reports. Gave text number and postal address. Winners also get to meet (? in some way) their favorite announcer. I assume saying ``Escucho para ganar quinientos dólares`` would be a bit crass, but eligible? Are the winners chosen by truly random drawing or does what they say matter? You never really know, dealing with stations on a politico-religious mission, and not subject to FCC rules (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. Firedrake Dec 12, before 1500: None at all found between 1450 and 1455, tuning down the entire range from 19 to 7 MHz (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** FRANCE [and non]. 9765, // 7220, Dec 12 at 0619, hilife musique fill on RFI English frequencies, as the strike rolls on. Au contraire, 7390 French service is in French, not musique at 0628.

17690, Dec 12 at 1419 via GUIANA FRENCH, RFI Spanish service is not music-filled, instead promoting its near-worldwide availability on various iphone apps. 17620 French service direct en musique. But at 1504, 17620 has news in French. Of course the non-struck French service already plays musique part of the time (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** INDIA. 6165, Dec 12 1355, what a pleasure to hear something besides Chinese all over the 49m band! Instead, S Asian songs, 1400 timesignal (maybe from QRM), brief announcement in unknown language, and change to other music. Aoki shows this is the AIR Sindhi service from Delhi/Khampur site. BTW, 6165 is really crammed full of overlapping usages, such as Vietnam VOV4, and China CNR6, both supposedly also on before and after 1400, not to mention Chad and Zambia (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** INDONESIA [and non]. 9526-, Dec 12 before 1400, nothing but the VOI carrier detectable aside huge China radiowar on 9530; at 1453 in the clear with piano music, 1456 Indonesian ID mentioning English word ``dignity``, IADs in more piano music. But *1457.5 CRI 9525 carrier came on making het, while VOI remained atop! Until VOI cut off at 1458*. Yet, I could still hear a weak het, so maybe VOI had just switched to another antenna. By 1545 I could make out some weak Chinese on 9526 so VOI was still/again on the air, bettering CRI 9525 Kashgar, EAST TURKISTAN in English (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** JAPAN. 6055, Dec 12 at 1403, Jappop (or should I say J-pop), with EltonJohnish heavy beat, sounds like Japanese syllables pronounced with gaijan accent, impure vowels. Bring back Isao Tomita on R. Nikkei! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NETHERLANDS [non]. 5955, Dec 12 at 0614, Dutch in the clear, no jamming from Cuba any more vs absent R. República. If it`s in Dutch, the odds are very high its RNW, and even higher that it`s not transmitted from Netherlands. This hour is via Vatican, even tho I assume RNW is not obliged to follow papal dicta.

Later compared to the trio of 31m channels, and found no pair of the quartet were synchronized. At 0623 in time order: 9865 first, 9895 second, and 9830 third. In strength order, 9895 first, 9865 second, 9830 third. Sites: 9895 Pridnestrovye, 9865 Bonaire, 9830 Wertachtal. Note Bonaire is not on top in this case; see also RUSSIA. At 0626, 9865 cut away from the others to play NA due to its semi-hour instead of full-hour broadcast (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OMAN. 15140, Dec 12 at 1430, YL with news in English, S9+15 peaks, but undermodulated and hard to follow. Something about Syria. This is R. Sultanate of Oman, of course, not BBC as claimed by some downunderite (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** RUSSIA. 9840, Dec 12 at 0627, R. Rossii Moscow site is absent. No signal, despite RWM binary audible on 9996, and Turkey q.v. in better than usual on 9820. Can the ptb finally have moved this off 9840 colliding with VOR English to NAm from DVR which runs until 0600? Need to check further nights, before 0600 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 5890, Dec 12 at 0615 via WWCR, Brother Scare really in a lather, and with self-imposed echo, just for emphasis?

Just for giggles, on Dec 12 at 1630 I check the website to see how his schedule info stax up vs reality:
For starters, this notice in red still appears:
``New Shortwave 300,000 watt at 18:00 UTC on 15.190`` --- the time being way off, of course, 13-15 UT via IRRS via ROMANIA.

For SW schedule, you have to go to Downloads > Radio Schedules > Shortwave Radio at

EUROPE   17580 Europe       11 Am-Noon  Daily
WBCQ     15420              10 Am-Noon  Saturday

As always, this schedule is undated, with times all mixed up, not in UT, and many of them wrong!

WWCR times are really 5890 at 06-12 UT, 9980 at 15-21 UT; extra hours on UT Sundays: 05-06, 21-22. We hear 17580 from Germany at 15-16 UT, so 11 am-noon would refer to non-existent EDT! The 15190 `Far East` station at 9-10 am is really IRRS via Romania, which is really running two hours at 13-15 UT. Note that 7290 is no longer mentioned, which had been 19-20 UT, so is that really off the air, given up to Pridnestrovye? EGR with Overcomer is still on IRRS` own schedule:
http://www.nexus.org/NEXUS-IBA/Schedules/mon.htm

The other 15190 listings for parts of Africa, and 7190, are Very Interesting --- these are the imaginary frequencies of R. Africa, Equatorial Guinea, so B.S. thinx he is on that station. 7190 has not been confirmed for many years, and 15190 if active might be turned on only for these broadcasts, in what timezone???

7190 at 10-11 am Tuesday: If EDT = 14-15 UT Tue; if EST = 15-16 UT Tue; If UT +1 as in parts of W Africa, = 09-10 UT Tue
15190 at 9-10 am Thursday to S Africa: if EDT = 13-14 UT Thu; if EST = 14-15 UT Thu; if UT +2 = 07-08 UT Thu
15190 at 3-4pm Monday to E Africa: if EDT = 19-20 UT Monday; if EST = 20-21 UT Monday; if UT +3 = 12-15 UT Monday

So the possible times to check 15190 for this are: Monday 12-15 or 19-21 UT; Thursday 07-08 or 13-15 UT. 7190: Tuesday 09-10 or 14-16 UT. It`s also not inconceivable that the evening African broadcasts on 15190 are coming from IRRS/Romania, lacking 7290, even tho the scheduling originally applied to Equatorial Guinea (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SPAIN. 15385, Dec 12 at 1435, open carrier, dead air, yet another foulup from REE when the weekly Monday Sephardic service is supposed to be running at 1425-1455. 1442 finally started modulating in progress with mix of music and announcements; jingle and off at proper time of 1455*. All the time, heavy splash from 15380 RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TURKEY. 9820, Dec 12 at 0625, this eastward TRT Turkish frequency with music is unusually sufficient, still better on the westward // 9700 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [non]. 9760, Dec 12 at 1547, VOA Spe-cial Eng-lish talk about violinist Itzhak Perlman; big signal, but also with humbuzz and undermodulation. Now I am leaning toward this being a defect in the IBB Tinang, PHILIPPINES transmitter itself rather than another carrier atop (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9330-CUSB, Dec 12 at 0616, open carrier/dead air from WBCQ when GFRN is supposed to be on overnight; same at 0628, but back in business around 1400 check. This happens so much that I am beginning to wonder if it`s deliberate, like no longer 24h GFRN but WBCQ leaves the carrier on all night to keep it from icing up? Rechecking the 9330 sked at
http://schedule.wbcq.com/main.php?fn=sked&freq=9330
on Dec 12, it still shows GFRN 24 hours, except M-F 23-24 `Money Talk`, which is also on 7490 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 9670, Dec 12 0618, tone test on and off and on. HFCC, Aoki and EiBi all have nothing at all on 9670 between 03 and 11 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Glenn Hauser logs December 11, 2011

** CHINA. Firedrake Dec 11, before 1430:
11500, very poor at 1427; none in the 7s, 8s, 9s, 10s
12230, very good with flutter at 1426
12600, good at 1426
12670, good at 1426
13970, very good at 1428; none up to 19 MHz by 1434
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. RHC Sunday anomaly observations Dec 11: at 1415, missing from 9850, but still on weak 9540. It would seem that the 9850 transmitter is the one used for nonsensical Sunday-only 13750, except that frequency was also missing at 1428, while usual 13670 and 13780 were on. Another absentee: 15380 at 1431, but JBA under CRI Sackville on 15230 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** FRANCE. 7220, Dec 11 at *0559, RFI on with musical prélude (never any IS), 0600 timesignal, live timecheck for 06 UT, 7 am in Paris, and into English news headlines, as strike has been suspended. But on 7390, French service is playing jazz song in French, IDs as ``RFI Musique`` and in English as ``RFI Music`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** INDONESIA. 9526-, Dec 11 at 1415 can detect VOI carrier still here, not 9525-, very little modulation but seems Indonesian (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MAURITANIA. 7245, Dec 11 at 0620, IGIM is on and chanting; it was not on at last tuneby about 15 minutes earlier. BTW, Neil Kazaross says their MW 783 has been running all-night (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PRIDNESTROVYE. Regarding previous observation that Radio PMR, 7290, was still on the air after 2130 UT Friday, and what local timezone is in effect, Wolfgang Büschel found this:

Transnistria is still on Ukrainian time, switched back 1 hr on Oct 30:
http://www.timeanddate.com/news/time/transnistria-dst-end.html
i.e. both of them went back to UT +2, instead of staying on UT+3 as originally planned (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TAIWAN [non]. 6875, Dec 11 at 0608, RTI via WYFR still in German, not Spanish. Has not a single regular listener in Spanish complained to them about this? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1594 monitoring: 5755, UT Sunday Dec 11 at 0500 confirmed on WTWW, but signal is weakening here as winter-night MUF plunges/skip lengthens; occasional `running-water` QRM. Latest Area 51 schedule for this weekend at http://www.worldmicroscope.com does not show WOR to be aired this Sunday night, as it was last week at 0333 UT Monday on WBCQ 5110v-CUSB; unless there is another last-minute change.

Remaining WRMI 9955 times: Sunday 1630, 1830, Monday 1230.
Hamburger Lokalradio, Germany, 5980: Tuesday 1030
Sirius/XM 120: Sunday 1830

Full schedule including more webcasts:

On demand:
http://www.worldofradio.com/audiomid.html
Podcasts via WRN are also available
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 12105, Dec 11 after 1400, WTWW-3 is back on in usual AraBible instead of scheduled Russian, having been off the air 14+ hours earlier (Glenn Hasuer, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 11765, Dec 11 at 1525, fluttery open carrier. Checking HFCC, only thing scheduled is IBB, 250 kW, 103 degrees from Nauen, Germany to Caucasus at 15-16; followed by REE in Arabic/Spanish from Noblejas at 16-19.

REE apparently wooden, not listed in Aoki or EiBi, but they do have more info than HFCC. The Caucasus service is R. Liberty, daily 1500-1520 in Avar, 1520-1540 in Chechen, 1540-1600 Circassian. Probably was this with lost feed.

Then there`s SRDA Curitiba, Brasil, supposedly 24 hours on 11765; Sound of Hope has a jammed 16-17 broadcast coming up from Taiwan, and the CNR1 jammer, either of which might have had carrier on early (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Glenn Hauser logs December 10, 2011

** CHINA. Firedrake Dec 10, before 2400:
13920, JBA at 2331
16100, very poor at 2332
16980, very poor at 2332; none in the 12s, 14s, 15s, 17s, 18s
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA [and non]. 7105, Dec 10 at 2205, poor signal in Chinese, with flutter, mixing with something else, and one of them an echo apart from // 7440 with presumed CNR-1. When it comes to jamming Sound of Hope, the ChiCom say to the ham Intruder-Busters, ``stick it!``. Aoki shows *jammed SOH on 7105 this one hour only, 2200-2300, 100 kW, 325 degrees from Tanshui, TAIWAN.

However, on 7440, Aoki does not show CNR1, but CRI at 22-23, not only in Chinese southward from Kunming, but also in Japanese eastward from Beijing! VOA Chinese via Thailand is also on 7440 during this hour, so jamming that with CNR1 takes precedence over mere CRI broadcasts. If all are really on the air at 22-23, there is a 4-way collision over E Asia on 7440 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 13640 & 13690, Dec 10 at 2156 no signal from RHC on either, but both are on at equal level in Spanish at 2208. 13640 is supposedly for Europe in Spanish at 22-24, as well as French/Portuguese/Arabic at 1930-2100. Originally Spanish followed immediately at 21-23 but when DST ended in Cuba Nov 13, the Spanish block shifted one hour later, while the others stayed put.

As an outlaw station, RHC refuses to participate in HFCC, and does not publish azimuths on its own website, but Aoki purports to have them, showing at 20-21, 13640 is 100 kW at 53 degrees, while at 22-24 it`s 100 kW at 130 degrees, i.e. southeastward, NOT toward Europe --- and so is 13690, officially for S America --- with plenty of signal off the backs USward, 310 degrees (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** JAPAN [and non]. 17605, UT Sat Dec 10 at 2317, NHK`s Sunday-morning classical-music-appreciation show with bits of Chopin, Japanese commentary, southward via Bonaire, and also audible on weaker // 11665 off the back (55 degrees) from Yamata aimed 235 degrees toward Asia. But that`s not all:

17810, during the very same hour, UT Saturday Dec 10, the NHK Indonesian service is also presenting western classical music, at 2319 a coloratura, announcement mentions Tokyo Metropolitan Symphony; 2321 `The Swan` and more classical music bits. 17810 is also Yamata, 240 degrees at 2310-2340 in Indonesian, plus a third of an hour in Chinese, so 60 degrees is directly off the back from that (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** RUSSIA. 7250, Dec 10 at 2245, it`s ``London Calling``, but from V. of Russia, not BBC! Apparently a regular program segment now, this time discussing educating Russian children in Britain to be sure they speak proper English, not inferior American accent. Come to think of it, BBC doesn`t really say ``London Calling`` any more, how quaint, so why not Moscow? 7250 is 500 kW, 315 degrees from ``Armavir`` at 22-05 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TURKEY. 5960, Dec 10 at 2301, VOT good and clear saying after the news will be a special program for Human Rights Day; and so it came at 2312. This is an off-week for the fortnightly `DX Corner` anyway, so it should continue on Dec 17 and unless a further holiday interrupt, Dec 31 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [non]. 7545, Saturday Dec 10 at 2250, VOA Spe-cial Eng-lish talk about Ralph Waldo Emerson, including being unwelcome at Harvard Divinity School, suspected of not being a believer. 2257 outro as `People in America` series. HFCC shows this daily 2230-2300, 250 kW, 359 degrees from Udorn, THAILAND (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7490, WBCQ had been ``observing the Sabbath`` --- really off the air on Saturdays due to lack of business (and a few shows which had been on Saturday were shifted to Sunday months ago). But Dec 10 at 2201, 7490 is on with gospel rock, ripple QRM from BBCWS Thailand. 2202 ID as Radio 211.com, `I Sing Radio`, i.e. another Good Friends Radio Network program, but not // 9330-CUSB which is already bought out 23 hours a day (and lately not propagating overnight). Still such music at 2318. This has already been entered on the WBCQ online schedule for 7490, showing it runs all the way from 2000 Saturday to 0500 UT Sunday on 7490 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 12105, Dec 10 at 2200, no signal from WTWW-3, still missing at 2317. WTWW-1 on 9479 as usual, and WTWW-2 on 9990 still pending (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 15385.4, Dec 10 at 1947 in usual mindless/mind-numbing programming, very good signal from KJES NM, pretty far off frequency, checked after hearing them within an amazing 0.1 kHz of 11715 earlier today (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
