DX/SWL/MEDIA PROGRAMS UPDATE June 24
http://www.worldofradio.com/dxpgms.html
** CHINA [non]. 9580, June 24 at 0247 CRI relay S9+20/30 but
undermodulated. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba. Unseems Std
Chinese to me, Cantonese? No, Mandarin sked this hour, Cantonese at
04-05 on 9790 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 11670, June 24 at 0642, steady S9 of dead air in English:
obviously the extra RHC frequency tonight instead of 11760 or 9700.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) See also CHINA
[non], ROMANIA [and non]
** GERMANY. 9670, June 24 at 0248, pop music S7/S9, presumably Channel
292 as nothing else is listed and it plays a lot of fill music between
specific paid programming; better than usual for only 10 kW. Website
has a day-by-day program grid (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NIGERIA [and non]. 7255-, June 24 at 0648, S7 signal but JBM on
signature offset of Voice of Nigeria. Often totally absent so a
marginal improvement; while neighbor 7260 Vanuatu continues to be
outstanding and reliable, for now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. DTV bandscan of 6 thru 36, June 24 at 1535 UT finds BAD
signals on RF: 11, 14, 17!, 20, 22, 26, 28, 34. All are normally
``open`` except 17, where Enid`s only local signal resides, such as it
is, K17JN-D with 3ABN channels: either it`s off again or more likely
degraded by DX QRM from 1000 kW KTEN ``10`` Ada, not far off the aim
of antenna toward OKC. By 1645, K17JN-D is restored.
11 is also unusual. FCC TV Query shows there are no lo-power 11s in OK
or KS, just KTWU Topeka, KSNG Garden City, KOED Tulsa and KSWO Lawton.
All except KSWO ``7`` have retained their original analog channels.
Most of the other bad signals correlate with Tulsa market, per
rabbitears.info; and APRS tropo map shows a connexion between Enid and
Tulsa, also closest, so assume 11 be KOED, the OETA station. 14 is
probably the new home of KTUL ``8``, which IIRC recently moved from RF
10. The only other VHF left in Tulsa is RF 12 of KGEB ``53`` which I
have seldom if ever? logged; 21.5 kW ERP while KOED has ERP of 47 kW.
My erstwhile Zenith set-top-box -- axually set-beside-box, DTV
converter/tuner, is showing signs of ageing, and maybe imminent
demise, as it`s no longer instant-on from redeye to blueeye, rather
takes several seconds to boot up. I much rather use it for DXing than
HD tuners built in to screens, so it`s obvious which real channels I
am tuning. The HDTV sets are too `smart` for their own good (Glenn
Hauser, Enid, WOR)
** ROMANIA [and non]. 11780, June 24 at 0249, RRI already wrapping up
Spanish hour before some outro music, VG with no QRM from RNA Brasil
which is obviously off, deliberately? tho supposedly sked until 0300;
and RRI // 9700 slightly lowerly modulated -- and no QubaRM there
either; RHC sometimes on 9700 ex-6165 in English (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** TURKEY. 11785.008, Sat June 24 after 2200, VOT English not off the
air today, VG S9+40/50 into UTwente; 2212 some nice harmonious music
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2196 monitoring: confirmed UT
Saturday June 24 at 0130 on WRMI 5850, S9+10/30 direct but noisy.
Also confirmed Saturday June 24 at 1600 on WRN North America
webcast.
