Glenn Hauser logs July 23-24-25, 2015


** EGYPT. 9965, July 24 at 2354, fair signal but dead air from R. Cairo presumably during English sesquihour to North America (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** INDONESIA. 3905, July 23 at 1145, JBA AM carrier, presumably the currently active RRI Merauke which Ron Howard has been getting just about every morning in CA (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 1120, July 23 at 1517 UT, approaching Tulsa from Enid on US 412/Cimarrón Túrnpike, KEOR/KETU is on with regional Mexican music, so I decide to stick with it as long as possible for any announcement. But it dumps off the air at 1531* and never comes back until afternoon of July 24, (as far as I notice from several rechex), circa 1800 UT; but around 2200 UT it`s gone again. What a sorry excuse for a radio station. 

In advance I had searched the FCC website on Facility 3651 (as KETU, but low number may show how old it really is from the Atoka KEOR days, call which was still being uttered a few months ago, despite alleged change to KETU), for any sign of a local address, but only find references to licensee off in Springdale AR, La Zeta 95.7 Inc. 

Even so, aren`t stations required to maintain a Public File somewhere in the Community of License (Catoosa OK)??? Also unfound in local phone directories under either call. I had better things to do in Tulsa than spend time trying to track it down; had already located, visited and photographed the transmitter site in February 2009, which is really in Sperry, not Catoosa, or Tulsa; when it was newly moved in from Atoka OK 1110 in order to open that frequency for KVTT in The Metroplex TX. 

Quite possibly there is no local office and certainly no studio beyond what automation equipment may reside at the transmitter site.

At one time, this station was connected to KJMU 1340 Sand Springs, but that remains off the air completely (at least while I was there, and Bruce Winkelman is never hearing it, I think.) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 104.5, July 23 morning we continued to hear the countdown from KZZW Mooreland/Woodward stunting toward a new Unbalanced format. One stunt robotic announcement between countdowns was simply ``8675309`` which sounds suspiciously like a phone number, but I haven`t tried it. With some tropo assist, signal held up until approx. I-35 on our US 412 way to Tulsa, with increasing CCI from KRXO OKC translator to the side, and ultimately overtaken by 104.5 KMYZ Pryor/Tulsa. We weren`t back in range in time to hear the much-anticipated Z minus 0 days, 0 hours, 0 minutes, 0 seconds projected for approx. 2100 UT July 24, but shortly were hearing current rock hits, apparently, and 0230 UT July 25 ID as ``Your party station, 104-5 KZZW``, which we now may safely avoid after all the excitement (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 105.7, July 23 at 1424 UT, open carrier/dead air from new KRCR Alva, still so at 1435, enough to mostly block reception of KROU, 105.7 Spencer, the relay of OU`s KGOU where we were formerly able to hear it on road east of Enid, as well as south (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 107.5, all during our July 23-24 visit to Tulsa, NO signal from KOSN Ketchum-Tulsa, the full-power relay of KOSU, and consequently neither the translator dependent on it closer to Tulsa on 107.3. This allowed Wichita to poke thru on 107.3. However, KOSU direct is more or less audible in the Tulsa fringe on 91.7; and so is 90.1 KUCO Edmond/OKC for classical music: both are fortunate to have clear frequencies into Tulsa where they could well be blocked at ~100 miles away. Then found this on the KOSU website:

``UPDATE: Tulsa 107.5 FM Signal Outage
Share Tweet E-mail 0 Comments Print By KOSU News

UPDATE (July 24 at 2:10 p.m. [CDT = 1910 UT]): Our engineers are ordering the parts necessary to repair the tower. We don't yet have an estimated time for the signal to be back live. When we do, we will update this post. Thank you for your patience. [italix]

[original undated item:] We are currently experiencing technical difficulties in the Tulsa, northeast Oklahoma, and surrounding listening area. If you tune in to 107.5 FM or 107.3 FM, then you will probably notice radio silence.

Our engineers are on the scene with specialized technicians, working to get the issue resolved and programming back on the air.

This is an evolving situation, so we will keep you posted on all that transpires. In the meantime, you can listen to our streaming service here on kosu.org or on iTunes Radio.

Thank you for being patient and for your support of KOSU`` 

On the way to Tulsa I was surprised to hear how well the ``powerful`` new 250-watt KOSU 94.9 translator in Ponca City was coming in on a stretch of US 412, altho unnecessary compared to 91.7 source (Glenn Hauser, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PAPUA NEW GUINEA [non]. 6075, July 23 at 1142, JBA carrier --- not the good signal we had been getting from the temporary NBC relay via Shepparton, AUSTRALIA, which was expected to be over about now (and Aoki shows it until July 22, but from Brandon, which we do not believe). But what could this be? Nothing else scheduled in Aoki, but HFCC has an imaginary RUS/VOR/GFC registration in Chinese-Mandarin, 100 kW, 218 degrees from Khabarovsk at 1000-1400 thruout the A-15 season. Maybe it was one last gasp really from a weaker Brandon? Even that should have been stronger. Maybe it was a spur or mixing product from algo (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1783 monitoring: confirmed first SW airing Thursday July 23 after 1130 on WRMI 9955 --- and with heavy pulse jamming; tnx a lot, Arnie! Missed confirming July 23 at 2100 on WRMI 7570, but confirmed Friday July 24 at 2130 on WRMI 15770 and 7570. Next:

** U S A. 9975, July 24 at 2354, KVOH ID and music, prélude to 0000 broadcast, but this overlaps WWCR which remains BS on 9980 for a few more minutes; mutual ACI with 5 kHz het (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

LA LEGGE APRE AGLI OPERATORI PRIVATI IN ONDE MEDIE

Il 23 luglio 2015 il Senato della Repubblica ha approvato - in via definitiva -  il disegno di legge europea 2014, (http://www.senato.it/3818?seduta_assemblea=600), ora in attesa di pubblicazione nella Gazzetta Ufficiale della Repubblica Italiana.
Tra le disposizioni normative approvate,  di nostro interesse l’articolo 4, che prevede l’assegnazione delle frequenze radio in onde medie a modulazione d’ampiezza anche “a soggetti nuovi entranti”.

Art. 4.
(Disposizioni in materia di servizi di radiodiffusione sonora in onde medie a modulazione di ampiezza. Caso EU Pilot 3473/12/INSO)

1. Dopo l'articolo 24 del testo unico dei servizi di media audiovisivi e radiofonici, di cui al decreto legislativo 31 luglio 2005, n. 177, è inserito il seguente:
«Art. 24-bis. -- (Assegnazione dei diritti d'uso per le trasmissioni di radiodiffusione sonora). -- 1. Nel rispetto delle risorse di frequenze e delle connesse aree di servizio attribuite all'Italia e coordinate secondo le regole stabilite dall'Unione internazionale delle telecomunicazioni (UIT) in base al Piano di radiodiffusione -- Ginevra 1975, le frequenze radio in onde medie a modulazione di ampiezza (AM) possono essere assegnate dal Ministero per le trasmissioni di radiodiffusione sonora, compatibilmente con gli obblighi del servizio pubblico di cui al presente testo unico e con i relativi piani di sviluppo, anche a soggetti nuovi entranti, previa individuazione dei criteri e delle modalità di assegnazione da parte dell'Autorità, tenuto conto dei princìpi di cui agli articoli 27, comma 5, e 29, comma 3, del codice delle comunicazioni elettroniche, di cui al decreto legislativo 1º agosto 2003, n. 259, e successive modificazioni, e in modo da consentire un uso efficiente dello spettro radioelettrico, anche promuovendo l'innovazione tecnologica»
E’ la prima volta che la legge italiana riconosce anche agli operatori privati il diritto di trasmettere in onde medie, potendosi così affiancare alla RAI (della quale residua in onde medie la sola programmazione di RAI-Radio 1).
Lo Stato italiano intende così porre termine alla procedura di infrazione avviata dalla Commissione Europea su richiesta di Giorgio Marsiglio, autore della denuncia contro il divieto di trasmettere in onde medie da parte di operatori diversi dalla concessionaria di Stato, divieto che altrimenti sarebbe durato almeno sino all’effettiva implementazione della tecnica digitale nelle trasmissioni radiofoniche  ed allo sviluppo del relativo mercato in Italia.
Nonostante la soddisfazione di questo intervento legislativo che, integrando la disciplina del Testo Unico dei Servizi di Media Audiovisivi e Radiofonici (TUSMAR), ha finalmente aperto uno spiraglio affinché gli operatori privati possano trasmettere in onde medie in riconosciuta legittimità anche dallo stato italiano, a parere del denunciante due sono i vizi che rendono ancora insoddisfacente il testo normativo:
- viene affermata la necessità di limitare i diritti d’uso delle frequenze in onda media, prevedendo di conseguenza la necessità del rilascio di apposite concessioni, anziché consentire a tutti gli interessati il diritto di trasmettere mediante una semplice autorizzazione;

- non viene indicato alcun termine entro il quale l’Autorità per le Garanzie nelle comunicazioni (AGCOM) dovrà individuare i criteri e le modalità di assegnazione della concessione a trasmettere e, conseguentemente, il Ministero dello Sviluppo Economico (MISE) procedere al concreto rilascio del titolo.  
Un passo concreto è stato comunque fatto verso la libertà di trasmettere nelle onde medie italiane e, anzi, ogni ritardo delle Autorità non potrà che essere addebitato a loro sfavore. In proposito si ricorda che – come è stato autorevolmente affermato dalla Corte di Cassazione sin dal 17 ottobre 1984 (vedi sentenza allegata) – l’inerzia del legislatore, protratta indefinitivamente, priva il soggetto di esercitare un diritto costituzionale a lui riconosciuto. [per la segnalazione di tale preziosa sentenza, va ringraziato Massimo Lualdi che la cita a pag. 129 della sua opera “Il concetto giuridico di ambito locale nel sistema radiofonico italiano alla luce dell’evoluzione tecnologica”, reperibile in http://www.planetmedia.it/cgal.pdf].
In conclusione, chi già trasmette in onde medie in ambito locale (e abbia però reso noto al Ministero l’intenzione di trasmettere mediante la presentazione di una SCIA-segnalazione certificata di inizio attività) continui a farlo fino a che l’AGCOM non avrà stabilito e reso noto criteri e modalità di assegnazione delle concessioni a trasmettere: come si ha già avuto occasione di affermare, egli sarà forse considerato un pirata, ma certo non un clandestino: una distinzione non di poco conto per i nostri giudici e di grande valore per gli operatori radiofonici.

Glenn Hauser logs July 21-22, 2015


** BRAZIL. 11815, July 22 at 0523, RBC music marred by RNA/RNB crackle spur circa 11813, also around 11846, 11747, 11714 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** EGYPT. After absence of all four 0045+ UT Cairo frequencies the last few nights, I`m checking earlier July 21: 

9965 at 2307 July 21, no signal from the early English to North America sesquihour

Arabic after 2330 listed by EiBi on five frequencies, including alternates? No signal on 12035, 13820, 15460; unknown carriers on 12000, 12070

At 0110 July 22, during Spanish broadcast: no signal on 9315, 12070; JBA unknown carriers on 12080, 12035, 12000, 11935, 9720. 9965 Arabic also off

9965, July 22 at 2355 is back on in suptorted music, presumably English service; 12070 also back on with very good signal but heavily distorted Arabic (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GREECE. 9420, July 22 at 0524, VOG ending Spanish news segment with temp in Salónica, poor-fair, music break, 0527 Greek ID ``I Foni tis Helladas``, and into Russian news. This is part of VOG`s revived foreign-language service, probably really simulcast of the domestic R. Philia service, but would be nice if it develop into a full-fledged multi-lingual external service. Reception here is weakened by this hour into the dayside, but should gradually improve with latening sunrises. Back on July 9, Ivo Ivanov recorded and listed the language schedule as follows, apparently still in effect altho times may vary somewhat:
0500 Greek
0503 Serbian
0509 Romanian
0516 Spanish
0526 Russian
0531 Polish
0536 Albanian
0543 Italian
0548 Arabic
He`s also found more briefer language segments after 0800, 0900, 1000 and 1200, only the last including a few minutes of English, when North American reception is unlikely (Glenn Hauser, WORLD OF RADIO 1783, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** JAPAN [non]. NHK Newsline via OETA OKLA, July 22 at 1600 UT includes toward the end a weather map labeled 1200 UTC, so today`s show is not delayed from 1000 UT like previous note (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. Sporadic E opening July 21 continued from previous report, UT:

With TV MUF up to channels 5 and 6, I head to the porch to check for FM, circa 1645-1705 UT, but no DX showing. Back inside for more TVDX:

1705 on 2, Info 7, anchor, CCI with time and temp LR, 32 degrees. Crawler to go with current story about a big traffic accident on the Reynosa-Juárez Hiway, where 27 were lesioned. [There is no thru hiway anywhere near the border thru northern Coahuila; evidently refers to indirect Hwy 40 from Reynosa to Torreón, then 40 to Jiménez, and 45 to Juárez.] This programming points to XHTAU, Tampico, but originating in Monterrey, altho local IDs are rare if ever.

1712 on 4, still some CCI, and on 5, algo

1719 on 2, Info 7

1719 on 4, animated 5 logo = Televisa 5 net

1727 on 2, Info 7, also exhibiting the old Azteca 13 swish logo on the set near the LR logo. I guess it`s generic Azteca since the 13 net itself merely bugs as TRECE anymore 

1730 on 4, TVMÁS and RTV logos on full-screen; male singer in Studio; video squeezed. It`s XHGV in Veracruz

1733 on 5, novela, with unknown white text bug in LR

1822 on 2 and 3, still some CCI; gone by 1845

A similar opening July 22, UT:

1534 on 2, fade-in Es CCI, YL anchor; 1536 Mérida on backdrop, SN logo by YL (elongated horizontally letters as SIPSE Noticias); 1527 Gala bug in LR apparently same station, as the wide S is also in the LL, i.e. XHY-TV in Yucatán, quite a regular here

1548 on 2, exercise segment led by muscular but effeminate guy; digital clock in lower right is rolling over now only 20 seconds slow; XHY

1625 on 2, XHY still morning variety show

1630 on 2, CCI from novela? with music

1633 on 2, Info7 takes over making same-offset almost single heavy bar video beat. Bill Hepburn`s channel 2 map confirms what I suspected: XHY-TV and XHTAU in Tampico are same offset-zero. These offsets must not have been planned with DXers in mind; or platforms in the Gulf midway?

1637 on 2, PLAN B in large font on set or backdrop, program name? Have seen it before. 7 bug in UR, with clock 11:38 and 29 degrees. Apparently part of the Info7 XHTAU program

1644 on 2, Gala bug LR, street scenes

1645 on 2, PLAN B, same-offset CCI again, 30 degree temp now in UR; talking about Saltillo; 1647 it`s snow-free in color

1648 on 5, algo video in Spanish

1648 on 4, Spanish audio, and some video but 2 fades at the moment

1649 on 4, it`s a docu/news report about bomberos [not bombers, but pumpers, i.e. fire-fighters]. Letterboxed with open Spanish/Spanish captioning. This has a little unknown triangular bug in the UR, but it`s not right in the corner, somewhat toward the center

1655 on 2, PLAN B again, and I see its clock turn over 5 seconds slow; when YL anchor appears, large Coca Cola logo behind her

1722 on 2, CCI between novela and talk show

1730 on 2, serious animated drama, but no 5 bug visible; instead the Azteca 7 bug in UR, and some more same-CCI. I guess XHTAU has moved on from Info7 show after local noon

1738 on 4, audio & video letterboxed, ads; 1740 for Felix = cat food?

1743 on 4, Azteca Noticias promo; mentions Monclova

1816 on 3, federal PSA interviewing kids, tv3 bug in LR which means XHP-TV Puebla. The 3 is a lot larger than the tv and they are italix

1817 on 3, promo for tv3 Noticias, L-V 2:30-4 pm, and logo tv3N

1819 on 2, star bug in LR of Televisa-2 net; CCI

1820 on 3, after ads, XHP back to film drama

1829 on 2, Azteca novela promo

1911 on 2, game show with Televisa-2 bug

2020 on 2, Televisa-5 bug in LR, CCI

2045 on 2, sitcom from net-5 bug LR; algo on 3

2049 on 3, now net-5 bug LR here too but can`t tell if // 2

2056 on 3, tv3 bug in LR now during the XHP news sesquihour

2058 on 3, interview in Xalapa per caption

2107 on 3, net-5 animation

2124 on 3, animation, net-5 bug LR; algo CCI on 2

Some CCI on 2 remains for a while till fadeout (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 1120, July 22 at 2150 UT on caradio, KETU/KEOR is on with regional Mexican music, but check after 2200 it`s either off or dead air; hard to tell. 2355 recheck, music modulation again. I have yet to hear *any* announcements, let alone ads or IDs at many random chex (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. While checking for Es FM DX from Mexico, no dice, I do note a couple of OK items:

89.3, July 21 at 1659-1700 UT, ID for 3 Angels Broadcasting Network [Adventist] but cut off for local ID: ``Loyal to God and Country, KIEL, Loyal OK, 89.3``, then cut back to network just as roughly

104.5, July 21 at 1703 UT, tropo is still up and now favoring Tulsa over Woodward or OKC: capturing frequency is KMYZ Prior, ``The Edge`` (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PAPUA NEW GUINEA [non]. 6075, July 22 at 1253, music on VP signal, so NBC relay via Shepparton still going, maybe for one more day (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SUDAN [and non]. 13800, July 22 at 0519, R. Dabanga with good signal via MADAGASCAR, and the jammer carriers are back, two on the hi side making different pitch hets (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 570, July 22 at 0537 UT, PSAs for something in Nebraska, and the South Dakota National Guard; youth carnival August 1 in Yankton, 0538 UT discussion of baseball stats. Surprised to be getting 5/5 kW WNAX at this time of night, yet nothing from KLIF, XEBJB, Radio Reloj, Las Cruces or anything else! WNAX is audible all day on groundwave, but always way below KLIF Dallas, which is twice as close, but with unfavorable E-W patterns day and night for us. WNAX night pattern is supposed to throw most signal slightly east of north, minor lobes to SW and SE, while day pattern is ND. As of a year ago, WNAX format was news/talk, not sports talk per se: hypothesis, maybe they had carried a late/west coast silly baseball game, and forgot to go off day pattern; but how did they get rid of the other 570s? I don`t think there was an ionospheric disturbance wiping all normal signals out leaving this by groundwave even at night (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
