["Glenn Hauser" <wghauser@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

    GLENN HAUSER'S SHORTWAVE/DX REPORT 97-17, Oct 16, 1997

WORLD OF RADIO TIME SHIFTS. With the end of DST Oct 26, our times
on WWCR and WGTG are expected to shift one UT hour later, but 
stay on the same frequencies through November. Times on RFPI 
always stay at the same UT; 7585 has recently returned to the USB
mode after trying LSB for a couple of nights.

THIS WEEK ON WORLD OF RADIO 914. Where to find SW receivers; 
latest on Sputnik replica launch; lots of special broadcasts Oct 
18; thirteen new AM expanded-band authorizations; Asian DX news;
European winter schedules; and much more including some of the
items below.

IRAQ. At least on Oct 4 and 10, but not every day, R. Iraq Int'l
English on 11785 ran from precisely 2057 to 2157, strong but
distorted and co-channel from DW and Brazil (Brian Alexander, PA,
WORLD OF RADIO 914) Also heard here Oct 14, barely a signal at 
first check 2015, presumably French; 2103 English mentioned 25
meter band; talk at 2120-2136 mostly incomprehensible but kept 
mentioning 11785 and may have been mailbag; 2137 ID as Baghdad,
Radio Iraq International; 2142 "special program". Reception 
gradually improved but still awful with rushing sound believed
to be transmitted rather than interference; 2155 heterodyne came
on the frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK)

MALI [non]. An English schedule from CRI dated May 5, has just
been received with the former Mali relay frequencies 9710 and
11715 marked out at 0000 and 0300; and the same for E&S Africa
at 1600 with 15130 and 15110 replaced by 9565, 9620; 2000 and
2100 11715 and 15110 replaced by 9535, 7180, but we suspect 
the new ones are Urumchi rather than Mali (via Gigi Lytle, 
WORLD OF RADIO 914)

NEW ZEALAND. Congrats to Paul Ormandy, who succeeds Arthur Cushen
as purveyor of DX news on RNZI Mailbox. He was interviewed on the
Oct 13 edition, and in the 2-weekly show starts DX news Oct 27,
UT Mons 0430 on 15115, and in new summer sked Mon 1130 on 9700,
Thu 0830 on 9700 (Glenn Hauser, WORLD OF RADIO 914)

SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. The Deutsche Telekom W97 schedule includes
12 frequency-hours a day attributed to "TOM". Ivan Grishin 
figured out this must stand for The Overcomer Ministry, i.e.
Brother Stair, who was previously heard by Jim Moats to say he
was buying 12 hours a day following tests in August via DTK. 
Here's the schedule effective Oct 26 via BC-DX:

0600-0759 9500 255 degrees Au/NZ
1600-1759 6175 ND CEu, 11985 115 NE/ME/EEu
0100-0259 6170 295 ENAm
0200-0359 5840 310 CNAm, 6025 320 WNAm

Note that during the prime hour of 0200 due to overlap he is on
three frequencies at once to NAm. I can hardly wait (Hauser, 
WORLD OF RADIO 914)                                      ###
