Glenn Hauser logs December 10-11, 2014

** ANGUILLA. 6090, Dec 11 at 0627, `Caribbean Beacon` is still off. Nothing else audible but might have heard Ethiopia or Nigeria if tuned in earlier. DGS can still be heard on 5935 WWCR with only fair signal now in the night. 11775 also off at 1336 Dec 11 check, and still off at 1835 final recheck. Another SWBC country down the drain? Not that it had any value whatsoever, serving merely to propagate Dead Gene Scott from Los Ángeles, without so much as a local ID, ever. But it`s often crashed before only to return eventually. Probably need to fly in an engineer and/or parts from USA if it`s worth fixing (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BRAZIL. 11747, Dec 11 at 0621, crackly spur from 11780.1 RNA is very poor but detectable with BFO (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 9330, Thu Dec 11 at 0617, HM01 Spanish spy numbers mixed with digital bursts are already running and past 0632, VG signal; must have been the open carrier previous night, rather than WBCQ, which would get creamed if it were on. I thought the Numbers were after 0700 only (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** FRANCE. 7390, Dec 10 at 0641, RFI French with fast SAH, again indicating a second transmitter is on the air, also Issoudun? Other possibility is that R. Tirana is for some reason on with open carrier much earlier than *0800, and it is known to be off-frequency: Wolfgang Büschel measured that 19 Hz low before 1000 UT Dec 4.

17850, Dec 11 at 1432, open carrier with rapid intermittent pulsing sounds but which do not seem to be interrupting the carrier. HFCC schedules now an imaginary ``tentat`` English! broadcast from RFI at 1430-1500, 500 kW, 84 degrees from Issoudun. Something in the worx? I doubt it, but why run the transmitter at all? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO monitoring: #1750 confirmed Wed Dec 10 at 1415 on WRMI 9955. #1750 also confirmed on webcast of WBCQ, 7490v, Wednesday Dec 10 at 2200.

#1747! From four weeks ago played on Global 24 via WRMI, 9395, Wednesday Dec 10 at 2201, as checked on webcast. We`d also heard same Feature Story `News` headlines at 2200 before, today, or previous day?

#1751, first airing confirmed on WRMI webcast, UT Thursday Dec 11 at 0430, but *inaudible* on 9955, off the air or just not propagating? Bits of pulse jamming but not enough to obscure the signal. 9395 was slightly better, JBA, while WRMI 5 & 7 MHz channels VG as usual.

Next airing on WRMI, Thursday Dec 11 at 1330 is JBA on 9955, but enough to confirm it`s on the air and new #1751. This time, all the other WRMI channels are *much* stronger, including 9395, 11580, 11825, 15770, so something must be wrong with 9955. Next:

Thursday 2201 on Global 24 via WRMI 9395
Friday 0030 on Global 24 via WRMI 9395 [we can only hope these will be the latest edition, as several other times have repeated old programs]
Friday 0425v on WWRB 3185 [? Did not even try to play it last week]
Friday 2130 on WRMI 7570 & 15770
Saturday 0300 on Area 51 via WBCQ 5110v-CUSB AND 7490
[make-up for missing UT Sunday 0400; but will it be 1751 or 1750?]
Saturday 0401 on Global 24 via WRMI 9395
[? I was told this time would be added but it hasn`t happened yet]
Saturday 0730 & 1530 on Hamburger Lokalradio 7265-CUSB
Sunday 0200 on WH2XDE-1 Victor NY 1750 kHz
Sunday 0231 on KVOH 9975 [we hope; modulation failed last week]
Sunday 1000 on WRMI 5850 [scheduled but could someone confirm?]
Sunday 2300 on WRMI 11580
Monday 0400v on Area 51 via WBCQ 5110v-CUSB
Monday 2201 on Global 24 via WRMI 9395
Tuesday 1200 on WRMI 9955
Wednesday 0401 on Global 24 via WRMI 9395
Wednesday 0730 & 1530 on Hamburger Lokalradio 7265-CUSB
Wednesday 1415 on WRMI 9955
Wednesday 2200 on WBCQ 7490v
Wednesday 2201 on Global 24 via WRMI 9395
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9955, Dec 11 at 0619, WRMI is still inaudible like it was at 0430 for World of Radio, q.v. Only a bit of pulse jamming; while 9395 G24 is JBA now, but further signals like BBC 9915, 9460 are OK.

9955 is slightly better at 1330 Dec 11, but only JBA, while nearest other SW station, Cuba 9850 is very good, as is higher WRMI 11825; and 9395 with Global 24 is also very good now, unlike 9955. Something must be wrong with 9955.

Jeff White replies at 1648 UT Dec 11: ``I think it's still on 181, with high takeoff angle, until later today. Then we'll go back to 160. Been doing some maintenance on transmitter 10. Jeff``

17790, Dec 11 at 1358, gospel music already playing from Radio Africa Network via WRMI, supposedly *1400 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9395, Thu Dec 11 at 1333, Global 24 via WRMI is relaying KBS World Radio in show about folk tales, and a very good strong signal, unlike 9955, so maybe really 315-degree antenna altho WRMI frequency schedule grid continues to show 355 degrees for 9395 at all times.

At 1400 change to Old Time Radio hour, on `Upstate Radio Theater` (meaning New York, or what? Lots of states have up and down parts), and it`s the *same* episode we have heard a few times before, `Woodbury Show Starring Bing Crosby` dated September 18, 1934, as that season was beginning (just like TV ``seasons`` still begin around fall equinox today). First song is ``Love in Bloom`` but only a teaser, as he sings it in full at 1426 recheck; 1430 Woodbury soap ad. Yet another instance of G24 playing the same old shows over and over. It seems keeping a 24/7 schedule updated with new content cannot be achieved, sigh. For this to succeed financially they need to be in it for the long haul (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 900, Dec 11 at 1312 UT, ``All-Ag News``, fading by 1318 UT. Must be Floydada TX flagship of this minor network, KFLP, which once had a big dog relay here in Enid, 1640 while it was known as KOAG, for less than a year, one of many successive formats that have FLoPped.

Well, its website
http://www.allagnews.com/ seems timely and with podcasts available, but nothing about any other stations relaying, so belay that about `flagship`. KFLP itself is only 250 watts day, 7 watts (ha, ha) night. Oh oh, official sunrise in December is not until 1345 UT (SS 2345 UT; January: 1345-2400 UT). FCC Correspondence File does show they have a PSRA of 3.0 watts! Most of the year, surging to 6 or 5 watts in June and July, the ``limiting station`` being XEW!

1) What`s the point of a PSRA which is LOWER than the authorized night power? 2) XEW hardly needs any protexion from Floydada considering there`s now a station in between in Monterrey NL plus four other XEs on 900, unclearing 900 for XEW`s alleged 250 kW. 3) What`s the point of ANY AM station running less than 10 watts, with loads of QRM on every channel at night? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 910, Dec 11 at 1316 UT, outro to `American Story with Tom Brokaw`, says it`s on at 7:15 am and in the 1 and 5 pm hours [ergo cited in CST which inhabits NW ND, while the SW corner is on MST], then Minot ads, so it`s KCJB getting out well again before sunrise. This 5 kW signal has opposite patterns day and night: SW and NE respectively, so must be on day pattern now, despite official December & January FCC sunrise not until 1430 UT! Nothing in FCC Correspondence Folder about a PSRA.

As for Tom`s show, must be only a minute or two; first time I had almost heard it, but started over a year ago per:
http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/tom-brokaw-launches-syndicated-radio-651227
Supposedly only on ``select Clear Channel stations`` including WOR and KFBK. No surprise he`s heard from ND, his home state (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1150, Dec 11 at 1321 UT, `Blue Velvet` ending, ``music on AM sounds so good --- Fox``. Best heard with N/S KSAL KS nulled, but DF on this one is more like ENE/WSW. I hunt around for likelies: not Osage Beach MO, which is news/talk; could be KDEF Albuquerque reactivated? Nothing certain about that. KNED McAlester OK is country, and BTW website claims 1150 to be in stereo, not so indicated in the NRC AM Log. Finally find a match at KHRO El Paso TX,
http://www.fox1150.com/ It`s 5000/380 watts U1, i.e. always non-direxional. FCC AM Query however, shows day hours in Dec are 1400-2400 UT (Jan: 1400-0030 UT). No PSRA info. Enid Sunrise today: 1333 UT, to reach 1343 UT in a month (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Glenn Hauser logs December 8-9-10, 2014

** ANGUILLA. 11775, Dec 9 at 1450 check, TCB is off, no DGS or PMS anywhere, since at this hour WWCR 13845 airs something else.

6090, Dec 10 at 0221, now TCB nite frequency is also off; I wonder if neither channel was on at all today? Now however, we could still hear TUN on 5935 WWCR if we wanted to (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BRAZIL. 11747, Dec 9 at 0632, RNA 11780.1 distorted spur is JBA.
11747, Dec 10 at 0225, crackly spur is audible, and also weaker on 11813 or so (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** EGYPT. 9905, Dec 9 at 0630, R. Cairo, good with flutter, Arabic modulation suppressed and distorted, also persistent RTTY QRM

9905, Dec 10 at 0218, poor with flutter and just barely modulated

9965.3, Dec 10 at 0217, now this R. Cairo Arabic frequency has varied from the lo to the hi side, music, poor with flutter (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 1510, Dec 10 at 0228, recitation with music background, outroed as ``barras de Carranza`` with audience approval, then a real song as signal fades vs WLAC. Had looped toward Monterrey so again assuming it`s XEQI as I still await a definite ID (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NORTH AMERICA. Re DXLD 14-44: ``6925-USB, Oct 25 at 0034, poor pirate signal with variety of music, beeps, dramatization of something, mentions radiation level; 0040 overridden by CW sending V`s and then SALLO--- something a few times. Pirate had stopped by 0046. This thread
http://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,19060.0.html
says it was Rave On Radio about a zombie attack (ahem, we`re still a
week from Hallowe`en, when there should be a lot more pirate activity,
plus WBCQ) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)``

Thanks for the reception report and thanks for listening!!! We hope that you liked our creepy show, (Everyone at Rave On Radio, Dec 7, to gh, with an e-qsl jpg attached, via DX LISTENING DIGEST)

(via DXLD)

** OKLAHOMA. 89.5 WFM, Dec 9 circa 0135 UT we drive by the location where last few years ``singing Xmas trees`` have performed during the season, oil well lot in the NE corner of West Oak and North Cleveland in Enid --- and there they are. Approaching while tuned to 89.5, we have to get very close before hearing the signal, and it doesn`t overcome ACI and CCI until we are parked right close to the setup, so Part 15 power output is even lower. Visually it`s a bit different this year with more and brighter LEDs. Only four Xmas tunes are playing in rotation, including Looney Tunes with Bugs Bunny, and the Chipmunx. Periodically the light show stalls while the music goes on, so not really fully funxional yet (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SAO TOME. 11900, Dec 8 at 2031 tune-in to open carrier, what? Then a fragment of VOA`s Yankee Doodle Dandy, and cut off abruptly at 2032.4*. HFCC shows Pinheira registered here until 2030 in French (extended another semihour on weekends only) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TURKEY. 9700, Dec 9 at 0629, Turkish pop music, fair signal // much weaker and hetted 9820, so RNZI is gone again from this frequency where it surprisingly appeared 24 hours earlier (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1748 monitoring: confirmed on Global 24 via WRMI 9395, Monday Dec 8 after 2201. Yes, the two-week old show again.

WORLD OF RADIO 1750 monitoring: confirmed on Global 24 via WRMI 9395, UT Wednesday Dec 10 at 0401; following KBS World Radio, and preceding Media Network Plus at 0430. Next:

Wednesday 0730 & 1530 on Hamburger Lokalradio 7265-CUSB
Wednesday 1415 on WRMI 9955
Wednesday 2200 on WBCQ 7490v
Wednesday 2201 on Global 24 via WRMI 9395
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9395, Dec 9 at 1501, `Democracy Now` on Global 24, via WRMI. Amy Goodman originating from Lima, Perú for some conference on climate change etc., but first dealing with US domestic news such as the pending torture document; later interviews about struggle against oil companies polluting the Peruvian and Ecuadorian Amazon. Glad to have D.N. available everywhere in the US now that it`s on shortwave; good sufficient signal (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9955, Dec 10 at 0216, WRMI is very poor with music, pulse jamming, much weaker than 9395 G24 fair with Xmas music --- o no, not another station playing this stuff to death. Jeff White says tonight they are experimenting with the 181 degree antenna on 9955 instead of usual 160 and wonder if I can tell any difference. I`m afraid not, as the range of variation just on the 160 is quite wide. By 0235 it`s better during a preacher about some Greek translation (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5085, Dec 9 at 0638, Ted Randall hosting Xmas music show on WTWW-2; more Xmas music on day frequency now, 9930, Dec 9 at 1448 check. 12105, Dec 10 at 0226, good signal with Xmas music from WTWW-3, and different Xmas music on very good WTWW-2 5085. Enough, already (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1510-, Dec 9 at 2300 UT on caradio, just as I tune in, the het from always-off-frequency KCTE Independence MO goes off as it must have complied with nighttime shutdown, after mentioning ABC Sports? (Do they now have a dedicated sports radio network too?), leaving the channel to ESPN which would be WLAC Nashville. KCTE`s official daytime hours in Dec are 1330-2300 UT; January, 1330-2315 UT (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1600, Dec 10 at 0233 UT, dominant signal is Vietnamese talk, and loops NNW/SSE, so no doubt it`s KRVA, The Metroplex TX. Maybe it`s their 930 watt night power vs 25 kW days, but at night, 1600 is normally a tossup between Denver and St Louis here. Conditions maybe a bit auroral vs the northerners (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LITENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 9330-, Dec 9 at 0627, big open carrier with hum, so could be WBCQ or HM01, Cuban numbers which appears around 0700 on certain nights (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Glenn Hauser logs December 7-8, 2014

** BRAZIL. 11813 & 11747, Dec 8 at 0612, extremely distorted spurs from 11780.1 RNA/RNB are still quite audible centred approximately plus/minus 33 kHz; 11825 WRMI BS is weakened at the moment and not obscuring the upper one. I vow to keep reporting these whenever I hear them until EBC fixes them! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** COLOMBIA [and non]. 5910, Dec 8 at 0621, ballad music, poor signal from the Voice of Thy Conscience, altho did not keep with it for an ID this time, lacking Alcaraván Radio. I turn off the radio expecting to hear Seabreeze when I turn it back on after 1330, and so I do (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 15230, Dec 8 at 0617, unlike bigsig 24 hours earlier, only a JBA carrier from presumed RHC in extra hour of Spanish. [BTW, per Aoki, the only other usage of 15230 is AWR Arabic via Germany at 07-08.]

Still trying to recheck the posted RHC schedule, Dec 8 at 1620, I guess RHC has not paid its bills, ha ha, as we find the website
http://www.radiohc.cu is still blocked by this ICRT message:

``Servicio de Alojamiento Web del Instituto Cubano de Radio y Televisión --- Este es un espacio que permite la publicación de varios sitios web de nuestro Instituto.

If that means Dec 5 rather than May 12, perhaps RHC has been AWOL since that date? So we wait (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** INDIA. 4920, Dec 8 at 1350, poor signal with YL in unknown language, 1355 some music mixing, S Asian? No timesignal across 1400, as it is fading down. As on so many 60m frequencies, we have to choose between India and China/Tibet as the two countries are unwilling to coördinate and not collide with each other, despite plenty of clear spots on the band. I`m not sure Tibet would do a timesignal at its hourtop, but India certainly would not at its hourbottom, so I am tentatively leaning toward this being AIR Chennai. With BFO it seems there is a second signal on the frequency. The only other suspect signal is 5040, which would be AIR Jeypore with nothing from China. Nothing audible vs RTTY on 4905 which would be another Tibet frequency if that area were propagating (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NEW ZEALAND. 9700, Dec 8 at 0609, surprised to hear song in English rather than music in Turkish from usual VOT which is on here almost until 0700 but now left to make only a SAH with the stronger signal. I suspect it`s RNZI on wrong frequency, instead of 11725 --- NO, it`s // 11725, as BOTH transmitters are in AM mode, very unusual. 0610 goes on to interview a BBC guy about some stupid ballgame. Other TRT frequency 9820 aimed elsewhere is only a het. At 0400-0651 M-F, RNZI is scheduled for a break in DRM between 17675 and 11690, so the second transmitter would be idle --- but putting it on Turkey`s frequency is NOT a good idea --- another SNAFU? By next check circa 1330, RNZI is on proper 5950, not 9700 which it has also been caught before misusing during that period (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1750 monitoring: confirmed Sunday December 7 at 2300 on WRMI 11580, good signal.

NOT confirmed at 0400 UT Monday December 8 on Area 51 via WBCQ 5110 as Larry Will notified us at 0347: ``Hi Glenn, John Lightning has asked for an extra hour on 5110 this evening so I'm going to run him from 0400 to 0500 Monday. I'll give you a make-up airing next weekend, late Friday night (Saturday 0300) which should be on 7490 and 5110. Sorry for the late notification. Regards, Lw`` --- so I guess that will still be 1750 rather than 1751. Next from now:

Monday    2201 on Global 24 via WRMI 9395
Tuesday   1200 on WRMI 9955
Wednesday 0401 on Global 24 via WRMI 9395
Wednesday 0730 & 1530 on Hamburger Lokalradio 7265-CUSB
Wednesday 1415 on WRMI 9955
Wednesday 2200 on WBCQ 7490v
Wednesday 2201 on Global 24 via WRMI 9395
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 17790, Dec 8 at 1435, zero signal from R. Africa Network via WRMI which is supposed to start at 1400; while KVOH from the opposite coast is already a bigsig on 17775 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 12105, Dec 8 at 0614, poor signal playing `Silent Night`, so must be WTWW-3 on the air but hardly propagating, stunting with Xmas music, like WTWW-2, 5085 --- but NOT the same music. The 5085 VG signal is instead playing `Joy to the World`. At 0625, I hear JTTW again on 5085 already, but maybe different version? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7455, Dec 8 at 0618 tune-in, just in time for ID ``Radio Paradise, broadcasting across North America, South America, Caribbean and Europe; thank you for listening`` and into praise music. Radio Paradise is axually a subset of TruNews, apparently occupying certain hours of its total programming blox via WRMI, and also heard on // 5850 and much weaker beamed-away 5015 at 01-07 (and also should appear during 18-24 on 11550, same transmitter #3 as 5015).

I`m rather amazed that there have been hardly any other logs of Radio Paradise, which as the only ID given during its portions, could be taken as a ``new`` shortwave station. Speaks volumes about the general disinterest in listening to so-called TruNews.

And as I explained before, the name obviously derives from the 820 St Kitts MW station which Rick Wiles is taking over from TBN (despite objexions of the local manager), and is expected to reactivate soon if not already. However, no identity with St Kitts is to be heard on the SW frequencies, so I am not filing this as ST KITTS [non]. Lacking any detailed program schedule from TruNews, we still don`t know exactly what hour(s) that Radio Paradise occupies (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. 15598-15623, Dec 8 at 1437, heavy OTH radar pulsing, with WEWN 15610 right in the middle of it but radar alone on both sides. Tho WEWN is strong, the OTHR is still audible under it. One would be tempted to assume this is just another defect out of the WEWN transmitter itself, but I think not, now (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
