Glenn Hauser logs September 6, 2016

** INDONESIA. 9526-, Sept 6 at 1234, not even a carrier from VOI, off again. Atsunori Ishida reports it had been on the first five days of September between *0950v and 2100v*. Will they manage to broadcast for their 71st anniversary Sept 11? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** LIBERIA. 6050, Sept 6 at 0530, as I am listening to the 2-way USB Spanish intruders, some music starts --- it`s a JBA interval signal on AM, somewhat familiar, repeated several times for at least one minute, 14 notes, some of them prolonged, reverberating. It must be ELWA, which is scheduled to start at this hour, taking over the fellow HCJB frequency after a semihour break. Yes, it matches:

http://www.intervalsignals.net/files/lbr-elwa_c2000.m3u

Very pleased to ID this, as ELWA is no easy catch now, and dates back to my earliest DXing days in the 50s/60s (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MADAGASCAR. 6190, Sept 6 at 0211, still no signal from MWV, during Spanish hour. Are they on curtailed schedule or totally off the air currently? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NEWFOUNDLAND. 2598-USB, Sept 6 at 0223, JBA talk from one of the Canadian Coast Guard stations circa Newfoundland, unusually at the moment something here rather than 2749-USB from closer Nova Scotia vicinity. From

http://www.ccg-gcc.gc.ca/Marine-Communications/RAMN-2015/Part-2-Atlantic-Facilities-Information

I put together in night-time order the scheduled marine weather UT transmission starts, ending times variable, originator and transmitter site:

2207, VCP St. John`s

2307, VOK Cartwright and/or(?) Hopedale

2317, VCF Natashquan

0007, VCP St. John`s

0048, VCP St. Lawrence

0107, VOK St. Anthony

0137, VOK Cartwright and/or(?) Hopedale

0207, VOJ Stephenville [therefore I was hearing this one]

0437, VCF Natashquan

0707, VOK St. Anthony

0737, VCP St. Lawrence

0807, VOJ Stephenville

0837, VCP St. John`s

0847, VCF Natashquan

0937, VCF Natashquan

1007, VOK Cartwright and/or(?) Hopedale

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NEW ZEALAND. 15720, Sept 6 at 0206 check, RNZI is missing again as it was last night, yet Australia 15240 and 17840 are sufficiently audible. 15720 is still on the web schedule between 2051 and 0458 daily (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6930-USB, Sept 6 at 0207, drumming at S7, 0207.5 ID as ``X-L-R-8, Accelerate`` and more music. First pirate log in weeks, despite scanning the pirate band during every nighttime monitoring session here (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. Correxion: 9330 is occupied only UT Wednesdays and Sundays instead of Tuesdays --- I keep having to convert from ET to UT. Fixed:

WBCQ seems to be running AWWW just about every night on 9330 from 0100, once Blalock the Blaster is over, but of course, ad-hoc, not on the websked. 9330 is otherwise occupied after 0100 only on UT Wednesdays & Sundays.

9330v-CUSB, poor UT Tuesday Sept 6 at 0219, AWWW is in fact replaying again tonight, as AW is answering a question from a caller about power levels, ``just testing, 10-15 kW``; antenna? ``Part of our log-periodic``. Apparently referring to 3250v (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7315, Sept 6 at 0210, WHRI with praise music, soon ID break, and this time not // other praise music on 9605, still prolonged after the Korea relay there, Vietnam relay on 7315 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1170, Sept 6 at 0226 UT, gospel huxter citing Romans XI: 19-23 under KFAQ`s anti-American talk; no doubt WWVA OH still on 50 kW ND. Or less? Alan Furst, Lee’s Summit, Missouri near Kansas City, also heard it at 0245 UT: ``I just got a confirmed log on WWVA at 9:45 PM CT as they changed church programming. Announcer clearly said WWVA with typical disclaimer. Brother Ray started at 10:45 [ET]. Good old fashioned bible pounding. Have they ever returned to three tower directional after the towers went down in a storm a few years ago? Using Wellbrook 1530 loop with AOR 7030``. I don`t know, but something certainly has just changed to get them in here. 

Randy Stewart in MO wonders which stations really in WV get out to the west? Rick Dau, NE suggests 580 WCHS and 950 WBES both Charleston. Radio-locator shows WCHS major night lobe goes ESE, but does have lesser lobes; WBES with equal lobes to WNW and ESE (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** YEMEN [non]. 11860, Sept 6 from 1305 past 1406, Republic of Yemen Radio (via SAUDI ARABIA?), S9 to S6 fades, in Arabic talk whenever I check rather than music, but reception is picking up (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 810, Sept 6 at 0230 UT, corridos (story-telling songs, often about gangsters), lyric mentions Culiacán, 0232 YL ad for something delicioso, from a mall, phone starts 615 (but not an AC which would be E Tennessee). Dominates, from ENE/WSW, 0238 UT ID by super-hype voice actor, who makes it incomprehensible. If not KSWV Santa Fe NM, where it`s well after sunset, allegedly 10 watts, there are two XE possibilities among a bunch of other 810s further south/east: 1/1 kW XESB Santa Bárbara, Chihuahua; and 5 kW daytimer(?) XERSV, Ciudad Obregón, Sonora (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1580, Sept 6 at 0224 UT, ``Sounds of Silence`` atop for a while, best on E-W antenna, but not a DF fix. NRC AM Log shows several OLD 1580s: closest is KGAF Gainesville TX, 250 watts from the south; strongest is 10 kW CKDO Oshawa Ont. (and why not? 1610 CHHA Toronto is easy, but I`m not getting into DA patterns here). Others in AL (WVOK Oxford which was recently off-frequency but no het any more) 22 watts; FL 10 kW daytimer; GA daytimer; IN 5 watts; IA 10 watts; NC 12 watts; SC 10 watts; Rusk TX 165 watts; VA daytimer (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 6050-USB, Sept 6 at 0528, 2-way INTRUDERS probably in Spanish, very weak, but these lead me to log LIBERIA, q.v. (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 7490.005, Sept 6 at 0523, S9 open carrier, maybe WBCQ testing? No one else is on 7490 anywhen except WWCR in the mornings (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Marconi Radio International's schedule on 8 September 2016

Here is the schedule for the next Thursday transmissions of MRI on  8 September 2016:  1700-2000 UTC  on 7700 kHz (USB mode) and 2015-2130 UTC on 9300 kHz (USB Mode).

As you may be already aware we recently moved our weekly broadcasts from Wednesday to Thursday. Our broadcasts include some kind of programmes now sadly missing from most shortwave radio stations:  an old style DX show in English “Italian Short Wave Panorama” (there is also the Italian version called “Panorama Onde Corte”) with lot of recent logs  as well as  a mailbag show (“La Posta degli ascoltatori”) in Italian. As from 8 September a music show in Italian will also be aired. Our  station identification  announcements are not only in English and Italian but also in French, German, Romanian, Spanish and Catalan.

For the first time in our history a Facebook page about our station has been introduced. It is called "MRI World" and can be found at this web address: https://www.facebook.com/mriworld - Although it is still  far from being completed  you can leave your comments and suggestions as well as like it!

MRI encourages reception reports from listeners. Audio clips (mp3-file) of our broadcasts are welcome! We QSL 100%. Our electronic mail address is: marconiradiointernational@gmail.com - Please don’t forget to include your postal address as some lucky listeners will also receive a printed QSL card.

Last but not least,  we need your help! If you use social networks, please post an announcement on Facebook  or send out a tweet the day  before the broadcast. You can also forward this message to a friend. This should help increase our  potential audience.

We hope to hear from a lot of shortwave listeners about our transmissions.

DX/SWL/MEDIA PROGRAMS has been updated as of September 5:

http://www.worldofradio.com/dxpgms.html

WORLD OF RADIO HITLIST by ALAN ROE, also updated late August:

http://www.w4uvh.net/hitlit.htm

** COLOMBIA. 5910 approx., Sept 5 at 0114, Alcaraván Radio is on with music, S8, not enough to overcome storm noise level. Het on 6010v presumably between the other HJDH and Inconfidência (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 720, Sept 5 at 1202 UT, Chihuahua state song, 1204 inspirational recitation about amor and ``un nuevo día``. It`s surely XEJCC in Ciudad Juárez, listed by IRCA a 25 kW daytimer; WRTH 2016 says only 1 kW. A canned ID appears at 1205, but fading and I can`t copy to confirm what slogan they are currently using; 1206, 6:06 timecheck (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NEW ZEALAND. 15720, Sept 5 at 0138, no signal from usually reliable RNZI, while RA is audible on 17840, 15240, even a JBA carrier on 15415 at 0202 when 15720 is still off. But at 0548, RNZI is back on with bigsig of S9+20 on next frequency 11725, in fact the SSOB surpassing Brasil 11780 at only S9+10. Or has 15720 suddenly changed on no/short notice? No, still on sked at

http://www.radionz.co.nz/international/listen

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SIKKIM. 4835, Sept 5 at 1214, JBA carrier, presumed AIR Gangtok, and today Monday, WWCR is already off 4840, unlike Sunday which must have been an anomaly. Ron Howard reports that Sikkim carrier, stronger for him, has been lacking modulation and that ABC NT VL8A was still silent as of yesterday. Are there any other 4835 broadcasters? Only Radio Marañón, Perú, which would not be propagating now even if it still exist (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SRI LANKA. 11905, Sept 5 until 0115:17, JBA mis-timesignal from SLBC signing on, pretending that it points to 0115:00; lately clocked at 0115:10; seems to alternate between the two mistimes (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1841 monitoring: confirmed Sunday Sept 4 at 2330 on WBCQ, 9330.036v-CUSB, good. Also confirmed UT Monday Sept 5 at 0030 on WRMI, 7730, S9+20/30. Also confirmed UT Monday Sept 5 at 0301 on Area 51 webcast, and at 0329 check on WBCQ 5129.858-AM, S9. Also confirmed UT Monday Sept 5 at 0330 on WRMI 9955, very poor but definitely on webcast. Next:

Mon 2330   WBCQ 9330v-CUSB to WSW

Tue 1100   WRMI 9955 to SSE

Tue 2130   WRMI 15770 to NE [we hope resumed after 3 weeks]

Tue 2330   WBCQ 9330v-CUSB to WSW

Wed 1315.5 WRMI 9955 to SSE

Wed 2100   WBCQ 7490v to WSW

Wed 2330   WBCQ 9330v-CUSB to WSW

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9330v-CUSB, Sept 5 at 0122, WBCQ is on again with an `Allan Weiner Worldwide` replay, this one from recently as heard before talking about his tractor, a 60-year-old Bush Hog, to mow around the property being too dangerous for Pam or anyone but Allan to drive. Still going past 0201+ as original shows are never only 60 minutes. Seems to be running AWWW just about every night on 9330 from 0100, once Blalock the Blaster is over, but of course, ad-hoc, not on the websked. 9330 is otherwise occupied after 0100 only on UT Tuesdays & Sundays (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) 

** U S A. 9505, Sun Sept 4 at 2231, bigsig S9+20 with non-BS gospel huxter, must be brand new. Formerly a WHRI frequency and probably so again. Yes, HFCC shows 22-24 UT, 250 kW, 47 degrees starting Sept 4 in English.

Ivo Ivanov parses it out this way, needlessly complicated, involving two transmitters depending on which day of week and which hour, showing ex-frequencies, all 250 kW, 47 deg to WEu in English:

``WHRI Angel 1

2200-2300 NF  9505 Mon-Fri Brother Stair, ex 11750

2200-2300 NF  9505 Sat/Sun, ex 11750

2300-2400 NF  9505 Sat, ex 11750

WHRI Angel 2

2000-2200 NF 11750 Sun, ex 15530

2300-2400 NF  9505 Mon-Fri Brother Stair, ex 11750

2300-2400 NF  9505 Sun, ex 11750``

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9475-, Sept 5, 2016 at 0121, PPPP on SFAW via WTWW-1 denouncing Pres. Bill Clinton, obviously a very old recording from when he was in office and/or re/running. But what else can you do today when you`re dead? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7505.18, Sept 5 at 0126, WRNO is on again and drifting slowly upward as I try and retry to measure it, but pinned here at one instant (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1170, Sept 5 at 0147 UT, gospel huxter under/mixing with KFAQ Tulsa, same situation as last time when I traced it to WWVA but without an ID heard. KFAQ talk is about fishing in national parks and marine reserve areas next to them, some of the best locations.

At 0158 UT the understation is wrapping program with address P O Box 511, Lynchburg OH 45142. KFAQ seems to be in a fade helping to audiblize the other: and at 0201 UT, definite ID as ``NewsRadio 11-70, WWVA Wheeling``. 

So for the duration, here`s a chance for westerners to log WWVA, altho it`s really from Ohio, not West Virginia. It must be on 50 kW ND if it can penetrate KFAQ even west of Tulsa (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** VIETNAM [non]. 7315, Sept 5 at 0129 check, WHRI ID with address in Cyprus (as distinct from Cypress), and WorldVision hunger PSA, long pause at 0130:15, VOV in Spanish relay starts up. WV ads/plugs occur at almost every break on WHRI. Before sending $$$, have a look at:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Vision_International#Controversies

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 930, Monday Sept 5 at 1155 UT, a few minutes pre-sunrise here, WKY OKC is in open carrier/dead air, because of holiday? And nulling it, I`m getting something else in Spanish making a SAH of ~6 Hz, give or take. As researched last Nov/Dec, there are only two N/W Mexicans on 930, Saltillo and Fresnillo, and there is only one US SS anywhere in the west, KAPR Douglas AZ (now that KHJ LA has got religion), tho we`re unsure exactly what format. This one is musical at first, then economic? talk mentioning both pesos and dólares. But at 1200 UT sharp before there is any ID, WKY revives with its own music as if it were programmed to do so. KAPR is also better positioned to get past WKY, closer to a right angle than the XEs which are also more into sunrise now (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) 

UNIDENTIFIED. 1480.82, Sept 5 at 0141 UT, het against 1480 stations, seems to loop ESE/WNW. Reminds me of the 1499.17 het against 1500 I have been hearing (820-830 Hz away), and would be close to a match for spurs each side out of 1490 rather than somethings off-frequency from 1480 or 1500. However, I`m sure I would have noticed the 1480+ one before when I was getting the 1500- one. But now I am not hearing the 1500- one; until 0156 UT when I can make it out weaker, and on the same bearing (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Highlights of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity 29 August - 04 September 2016

Solar activity was at low levels from 29-31 Aug. Regions 2583 (N13,
L=025, class/area Dao/130 on 29 Aug) and 2585 (N08, L=222,
class/area Ekc/590 on 03 Sep) were responsible for the C-class
activity. Activity dropped to very low levels for the remainder of
the period. No Earth-directed CMEs were observed.

No proton events were observed at geosynchronous orbit.

The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit was at
high levels on 29 Aug and 02-04 Sep due to CH HSS influence.

Geomagnetic field activity was at quiet to unsettled levels on 29-31
Aug with active conditions late on 30 Aug due to CH HSS effects.
Mostly active to major storm conditions were observed on 01-03 Sep
due to effects from an extension of the northern polar coronal hole.
Active to minor storm levels prevailed on 04 Sep due to continued CH
HSS effects.

FORECAST OF SOLAR AND GEOMAGNETIC ACTIVITY 5 SEPTEMBER-1 OCTOBER 2016

Solar activity is expected to be at very low to low levels
throughout the forecast period.

No proton events are expected at geosynchronous orbit.

The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit is
expected to reach high to very high levels on 05-12 Sep due to CH
HSS influence. Normal to moderate levels are expected from 13-20 Sep
and 26-28 Sep. High levels are expected on 21-25 Sep and 29 Sep-01
Oct due to effects from anticipated recurrent CH HSS events.

Geomagnetic field activity is expected to be at unsettled to active
levels on 05-06 Sep with minor storms expected early on 05 Sep as CH
HSS effects continue. Quiet to unsettled conditions are expected on
07-08 Sep as effects begin to subside. Mostly quiet conditions are
expected from 09-18 Sep with isolated unsettled periods likely on
13, 14 and 17 Sep due to weak recurrent CH HSS events. Quiet to
unsettled levels are expected on 19-21 Sep with active periods
possible on 19 Sep due to effects from a recurrent, negative
polarity CH HSS. Mostly quiet conditions are expected from 22-25
Sep. Quiet to unsettled conditions are expected on 26-27 Sep
followed by active to major storm levels from 26 Sep-01 Oct due to
effects from the northern polar coronal hole extension.

Glenn Hauser logs September 3-4, 2016

** AUSTRALIA. 12065, Sept 4 at 1247, R. Australia no signal here, while 12085 and 9580 are OK; the transmitter to PNG which should also be on 15415 the other semiday (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** IRELAND [non]. 15320, Sunday Sept 4 at 1655, VP signal with English talk, which would be the special RTE relay via SOUTH AFRICA. I almost forgot about it since advance publicity came thru weeks ago, but Eamonn O`Connor in Ireland reminded us circa 1600 on the BDXC-UK yg: ``Subject: [BDXC-UK] rte relay to Africa NOW on 15320 kHz --- GAA hurling Final now being relayed to Africa on 15320 kHz - Eamonn in Dublin``

There`ll be another one at 13-17 UT in two weeks, Sept 18 for a football final. Seems there is only one frequency this year, unlike past years (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NETHERLANDS [non]. 9925, UT Sun Sept 4 at 0150, the Mighty Farty KBC with no signal via Germany; not checked earlier but I suppose this week it was back to only one hour from 0000. From next week publicized S-season change to 6145, where it is not now either (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** RUSSIA [and non]. 7245, Sept 4 at 1230, JBA AM carrier --- while NZ remains on its QSY to 7425, so what`s this? Now confronting the US Navy ham net on LSB. The answer maybe just in from Sei-ichi Hasegawa: R. Rossii has reactivated not only 5900 but also 7245 and 9895:

``9895/7245/5900 kHz R. Rossii

http://radio.chobi.net/DX/bbs/?res:1330#1576

S.Hasegawa``

But that indicates only one transmitter/frequency at a time:

``*????-0700*  7245kHz

*0700-1000*  9895kHz

*1000-1500*  5900kHz, 810kHz(fade in)``

So my 7245 could instead be V. of Tajik, scheduled this hour in Arabic per Aoki and WRTH, but not in HFCC --- is it really active? Always a very tough catch here. CNR2 Beijing also on 7245 after 1300 per Aoki.

5900, Sept 4 at 1236, JBA carrier, S3.5 and can`t make out any modulation, but this is being widely reported as R. Rossii reactivated, from somewhere in the Far East, as it puts a bigsig into Japan. Countless imaginary RR registrations remain in HFCC, including 5900 as ``Khabarovsk`` at 10-14 UT --- but Wolfgang Büschel points out the SW site near there has already been dismantled. So he says, 

``5900 kHz location could be Iakutsk Tulagino; or Radio Rossii Kamchatka via the Yelizovo site; or Radio Rossii Arman/Magadan in far northern Siberia`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SIKKIM. 4835, Sept 4 at 1220, JBA carrier detectable in splatter of prolonged 4840 WWCR [q.v.], presumably AIR Gangtok, unless someone report Australia reactivated today. No VL8 carriers audible now on 2325 or 2485. Other JBA carriers indicating INDIA are there on 4760, 4970, 5010 at least (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 4875-USB, Sept 4 at 1223, Air Force MARS net, all weak signals, one call maybe AFA5LJ, not certain of the number. Fortunately is one tropical 60mb frequency lacking any broadcasters, not even the Iranian clandestines via Turkmenistan? which survive only in Aoki listings (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1841 monitoring: NOT confirmed, Saturday September 3 at 2230 on WBCQ 9330v-CUSB, as it is not on the air (but back after 2300: see WBCQ log). Confirmed, UT Sunday September 4 at 0335 on WA0RCR, 1860-AM, Missouri during the Indonesia/KGI item 14 minutes into show, so started at about 0322. Next:

Sun 2330   WBCQ 9330v-CUSB to WSW

Mon 0030   WRMI 7730 to WNW

Mon 0300v  WBCQ 5130v Area 51 to WSW

Mon 0330   WRMI 9955 to SSE  

Mon 2330   WBCQ 9330v-CUSB to WSW

Tue 1100   WRMI 9955 to SSE

Tue 2130   WRMI 15770 to NE [we hope resumed after 3 weeks]

Tue 2330   WBCQ 9330v-CUSB to WSW

Wed 1315.5 WRMI 9955 to SSE

Wed 2100   WBCQ 7490v to WSW

Wed 2330   WBCQ 9330v-CUSB to WSW

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9330v-CUSB, Sept 3 at 2340, WBCQ is on (unlike an hour ago when WOR is scheduled), with oldtime radio drama. This would be Tom Cole Theatre, ``new`` episode about cats, as previewed on Allan Weiner Worldwide for Sat 2300, with repeats coming up at various times on Wed/Thu/Fri, as in my previous report (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 4840, Sept 4 at 1220, WWCR-3 is still on with gospel huxter, so evidently has lengthened its span by an hour, altho still has not updated transmitter schedule since August 31, when it was until 1200*. The pdf program guide, however, is now dated Sept 1, but also shows change to 13845 still at 1200 UT on weekends with University Network, which I did not recognize as what was on 4840. Maybe a mistake: hope so, as it impedes upon 4835 with Sikkim or Australia (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 15240, Sunday Sept 4 at 1631, poor signal in presumed Luganda talk, i.e. WWRB carrying R. Munansi clandestine. Seems they are playing less music these days (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. Re my log of 1170, WWVA, OH, Alan Furst, Kansas City, replies: ``Glenn, I'm pretty sure you are right about logging WWVA. We used to hear then KVOO on the studio monitors in Wheeling when WWVA was off for maintenance back in the 70s. I've only logged WWVA as far west as Indianapolis. We were told it would interfere pretty badly with Tulsa if left on day pattern. WWVA continues the 'God Block' during evenings. Big money maker.`` Worth further checking west of Wheeling (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** VANUATU [and non]. 7260-, Sept 4 at 1232, double JBA carriers making two-tone het with offset BFO, lower one being signature of R. Vanuatu, the upper one being Ulan Bator and/or Xinjiang (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** VIETNAM [non]. 7315, UT Sun Sept 4 at 0151, VOV is on via WHRI in Spanish, mailbag responding to listeners in Cuba, El Salvador, Argentina with plaudits for the station. El Sal is impressed by hearing a station from the other worldside, evidently not aware it`s really direct from South Carolina, and VOV does not clue him in. Super-patriotic comments relating to independence day. No carrier dropoffs during my brief monitorage, so did it manage to stay on for the entire two hours from 0000 tonight? I was busy mowing and recovering from mowing so no earlier monitoring session.

It appears that all overseas relays except WHRI have been dropped, as still nothing on 12005 or 6175 which might have been Woofferton. Kai Ludwig reports:

``A diplomatic explanation has been given in this show, amongst all the quotations from always the same handful of DXers whose names are quoted up and down the German service mailbag programmes around the world nowadays:

http://vovworld.vn/de-DE/Briefkastensendung/Briefkastensendung-vom-24082016/464262.vov

"Some research in various target countries", aha. Must be hinting at audience research that proved only minuscule, or just "below threshold", audiences for these relays, not justifying the considerable expenses anymore. In case it has been overlooked: It turns out that anything but WHRI 0000-0200 on new 7315 and their own Son Tay transmissions is gone. Kai`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1499.17, Sept 4 at 0559 UT, the off-frequency carrier hetting KSTP 1500 is still audible. This time I try to DF it with the DX-398, and get ESE/WNW (which is helpfully close to the KSTP null). Forget about WNW – there aren`t any 1500s that way. Most likely are six stations in Alabama and Georgia, 1 kW daytimers except for one 5 kW daytimer, and one fulltime with 3 watts at night. Or further afield, TN, SC, MS and FL stations. A DF fix on this from north/east America would be helpful (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 9710, Sept 4 at 0604, fair signal with open carrier, quickly goes off. Nothing scheduled, but best guess is Radio Habana Cuba which is nominally on 9710 only at 11-14 & 21-04 per Aoki (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 11435-USB, Sept 4 at 1308, presumed Indonesian QSO pirates in 2-way, fairly good signals, and somewhat musical altho no outright singing heard. Usually there are a bunch of others in the 11.4`s at 5-kHz intervals, but not this time (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 11980, Sept 4 at 1304, whine here at S4, and a bigger whine on 11930 at S9, altho of different pitches. Something going on from Cuban jammers? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 15550-USB, Sept 4 at 1631, very weak signal sounds like English; could it be WJHR ex-15555, where not heard? More like 2-way with pauses. R. Dabanga is through with 15550 via Vatican at 1627 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Studio DX 688 - 04/09/2016

FRS test on 5.8 MHz

First of all thanks to each and everyone sending us a mail/report/letter for our August 21st broadcast, some 2 weeks ago.

Soon we will be putting a little overview of that broadcast on the site. At the moment we do that, you will be informed by mail.

Of course we will do the best we can to answer all mail as soon as possible. No worries, FRS always replies to its listeners!

Tomorrow evening, Sunday September 4th, FRS will conduct a test broadcast within the 51 mb: most likely on either 5810 or 5855.

The 3 hour test will start around 18 UTC/ 20 CEST and will consist of a (partly) repeat of August 21st shows.

If you have time, give it a try and let us know about reception. Go tell your friends!

For now, all the best, have a good Sunday !!

73s,  FRS Team
