Logs Update  View Printable Version 
Saturday, January 02 2021

Logs
** AUSTRIA [non]. Comment sent via PBS Great Performances webform:

``No COVID at Wiener Philharmoniker? --- Always anticipated and
enjoyed. New Year concert is obviously heavily post-produced with
dancing outside in the summer; yet there was no audience in the hall
due to COVID. Yet, not a mask anywhere on the non-blowing musicians,
and no social distancing. WHEN was that actually recorded??? It would
appear to be pre-COVID except for the zero audience. It may be for
``2021`` but I could not catch any (c) year at end of the credits.
Were the musicians really voluntarily put at risk? Will there be
follow-ups on how many were infected or died as a result of this?``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 9700 & 6145, Jan 2 at 0706, neither RHC English frequency is
on, but 6100 remains at S9+10 but of air that is dead. Something`s
always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13771 & 13629 approx., Jan 2 at 1453, RHC FMish F# spurblobs
but only S1, from 13700-AM plus and minus ~71 kHz; lower one blox JBA
13630-AM carrier, i.e. VOA Kirundi at 1400-1500 Sat & Sun only via
VATICAN, violating Separation of Church and State; spurs still same at
1539 without the 13630. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** ERITREA [non]. 17545.051V, Jan 2 at 1534, JBA off-frequency and
wobbling audibly as I try to measure it to about 17545.060, i.e. the
Sat & Wed-only Bayto Yaikl clandestine via RMI via presumed Issoudun,
FRANCE defective transmitter. At 1550 I check same via South Africa
TWR KiwiSDR in SAM mode displaying offset plus carrier cycling between
34 and 65 Hz; S7-S9, quite readable about COVID-19. No signal at all
via the Qatar Qiwi; there are none closer to Eritrean target (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GERMANY. 11900, Jan 2 at 1458, outro of `Christ Gospel` huxter
program with Jeffersonville, Indiana address, then sign-off of Bible
Voice Broadcasting at Newmarket, Ontario address; with long/short path
echo and off 1500*. Aoki shows Saturday only at 1400-1458 via Nauen,
Christ Gospel as first semihour only. HFCC shows 250 kW at 102 degrees
for CIRAF 41 = Pakistan/India/Bangladesh. Short path Nauen to Enid is
8079 km = 5020 stmi. 24900 minus 5020 for long-path would be 19880
stmi. Difference 19880 minus 5020 = 14860. 14860 divided by speed of
light 186,000 mi/sec = .08 second delay or about 1/12 of one second
echo. We are probably getting primary signal off-the-back direct which
would be aimed 282 degrees (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** IRELAND [and non]. 13264-USB, Jan 2 at 1456, VOLMET by YL in
English, S4-S5, i.e. Shannon. No better, 13270-USB Gander OM (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NIGERIA. 7255-, Jan 2 at 0706, VON succeeds on air, S7-S9 but JBM =
just barely modulated; why bother? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 13565-CW, Jan 2 at 1455, HIFER beacon K6FRC quite clear with
continuous IDs from Patterson, California, claimed to be only 1.8
milliwatts; the only one audible on the 13550-13570 ISM Part 15 band,
no WV from WV on 13555 now; but always the non-IDing pulsing on 13560
which could be from local store or medical RF devices, and/or
propagated (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2067 monitoring: slept thru the Sat
Jan 2 airing at 1300-1329 on WRMI 15770; anyone hear it? Next:

Our non-commercial broadcasts and website depend on voluntary support:
thanks this week to George McClintock, Nashville TN, who sent a check
in US$ on a US bank to
Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 USA

One may also contribute via PayPal, not necessarily in US funds, to:
woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1220 kHz, Jan 2 at 0707 UT tune-in, immediately hear very
slow Morse code IDs for WCPH, about four in a row; 0708 sweeps going
upward; 0710 VVV WCPH IDs at `normal` speed. 0711 continuous 1 kHz
tones with a couple brief pauses; 0713 VVV WCPH IDs very slow and some
fading; 0715 no tones heard, maybe voice announcements but totally
unreadable. I`m tuning in USB which may help audiblize the MCW.

Thruout, WCPH quite distinct from the rumble of multiple AM stations,
nothing readable from any of them. Nothing further needed to be sure I
heard it, even after the first 10 seconds. Others reported it started
an hour earlier from 0600 UT instead of publicized 0700-0900, with
full day power of 1000 watts on day pattern --- but listed as U1
nondirexional day and night, 1000/109 watts. Congrats to WCPH on its
65th anniversary.

This on my Icom R75 fed by 100-foot east-west longwire, a few feet
above snow on the ground, favoring reception from the east. Not
necessary to check via alternative DX-398 with internal antenna only.
Please eQSL.

Etowah is between Knoxville and Chattanooga, east of I-75. 1351 km =
858 statute miles city to Enid. I`m still not sure how to pronounce
it, as I don`t recall ever hearing it uttered during all my years in
Knoxville; but spelt backwards it is Hawote. It is certainly an
interesting name. Googling on it I discover first that there is an
Etowah in Oklahoma, a tiny town SE of Norman: ``ETOWAH. Located in
Cleveland County, Etowah lies on Etowah Road eleven miles east of
Noble. Historian George Shirk noted that the town name was derived
from a Cherokee settlement in Georgia,`` says the Oklahoma Historical
Society. Wikipedia says, ``Etowah is a Muskogee (Creek) word (Muscogee
spelling: italwa) for 'town'/'people'/'tribe'``. More here about the
WCPH Etowah:

DX/SWL/MEDIA PROGRAMS UPDATE JANUARY 1
http://www.worldofradio.com/dxpgms.html
WRMI entries not fully updated yet

WORLD OF RADIO HITLIST UPDATE JANUARY 1

Hi Glenn, Happy New Year! My latest Hitlist update.
https://www.w4uvh.net/hitlist.htm

1) Guam - KTWR, TWR-Asia: Added entry, including blogspot page
containing programme & frequency updates (Thanks to Mike Sabin, Asia
Broadcast Technical Operations Director)

2) Romania - R Romania Int: Added link to RRM domestic service 2-week
schedule. Play list for the Sunday Radio Concert Season programme on
RRI can be found by checking the previous Friday entry at 1900 on the
RRM webpage)

Unless there's a major change anywhere, the next update will be late
January. Best wishes and 73 (Alan Roe, UK)

** COLOMBIA. Re: [WOR] 4940 kHz. - La Montana --- ``Happy New Year,
Glenn! Believe the 2021 WRTH has 4940 as La Montana Colombia, 1 KW.
Ron Howard``

So it has, page 166 - somehow I assumed it would not be in WRTH yet.
[As only SW station in frequency list, location Maicao but:] Station
DC26) as if it were in Bogotá. Info apparently from Rafael Rodríguez,
who really is in Bogotá, as QSL manager just as he was for the 5910 &
6010 stations really in Puerto Lleras; but did not bother to inform
us. The WRTH entry also shows an oficina address as Red 4-72
Unicentro, Bogotá. Does anyone ever really hear an ID as ``La Montana
Colombia`` - or Montaña? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA [non]. Rechecking for the ND beacons missing last night:
still absent at 0253 UT Jan 2 are: 255 SW Stillwater; 341 EI Enid; 350
RG OKC. Enid got about 6 inches of snow overnight early UT January 1;
somewhat melting during the day but plenty remains on ground.
Fortunately not enough freezing rain icing here to cause problems
before snowing.

On 341-MCW kHz I am hearing only OIN OberlIN, Kansas; on 350-USB, only
dash and YKQ, which is really on 351-MCW from Fort Rupert -
Waskaganish, Quebec; also on 351-MCW itself a mixture of YKQ and IN,
which is really on 353 from International Falls, Minnesota (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. (7490v), UT Sat Jan 2 at 0100, WBCQ webcast of `AAAWWW``,
turns out to be 99% political this week. ``Wake up; the Republic is at
Stake``; Angela has been injured, sticking herself on a spine of a
huge century plant by the Fla studio; but she still looks
``delicious``. Both of them have fallen for the conspiracy narrative
that Trump had to have won, Biden is a joke but if inofficed will lead
to takeover of America by socialist/communism headed by the CCP ---
what`s that? Allan has a `brain fart`, then remembers it`s the Chinese
Communist Party, which is trying to conquer the world, especially the
US, including not least via its bio-weapon the COVID virus. [Not
addressed, Occamly, why would the ChiCom capitalists want to kill off
so many of their customers?? Not to mention the negative image.] After
datestamp at 0121 that it is January 1, YOOL 2021, plays a 20-minute
podcast? thru a phone-patch which tries to convince that there was
massive elexion fraud, and since this thing has been banned from FB,
YT and TW, it must be true! On and on; finally 0153 some e-mail,
prayer and off. Simultaneously I was getting the new episode of Dr
Who, which made a lot more sense (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Re `Escape From 2020` special on WBCQ:
``Hello Glenn, Glad you enjoyed the show. Listeners were duly warned
that the first three minutes would be as ugly as the year, like the
old man / new baby thing in images of yore. We did get beautiful soon
after. I wish more entertainment programs would get into the act (pun
intended) with specials. Long-term, time sharing might even be a way
for two programs who can't pay their own way in isolation to get
together and get on the air. Who knows. An eQSL is attached.

Now #107 at http://www.worldofradio.com/QSL.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 4980, Jan 2 at 0231, WRMI seems powered up to S9, axually
readable with SMTV-sounding talk; ACI from 4985 RTTY and 4980 soon
fades way down so maybe just a fluke. Again it`s barely too late to
compare to next WRMI on 5010 which must have just closed, leaving
5010- Madagascar without a het.

5800, UT Sat Jan 2 at 0354, WRMI with pop music in Spanish, ID in
Spanish, 0356 to Zorba fill music. I was going to check what occupy
the 03-04 UT Sat hour this week; evidently neither `TRSW` nor `Encore`
but should have got there earlier. Maybe more Freedom Synergy Radio?
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9975, Jan 2 at 0249, KVOH is only S4-S5, insufficient; at
0303 I check it via TWR Bonaire SDR to find its longer skip reaching
at S7-S8, sufficient with music and preaching. First wanted to check
Key West Kiwi but it was offline (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

Logs
** AUSTRIA [non]. (91.9), Jan 1 at 16-18 UT, just enjoyed the New Year
Concert from Vienna, via WUOT $ tereo webcast, penul-concluding as ever
with the Blue Danube Waltz --- why do I keep thinking of Cashmere
Bouquet? The American hostess voice-overing English comments, Lisa
Mullins in Boston, needs to work on her German pronunciation, e.g.
``Musikverein``. A rather different version is scheduled on PBS TV
tonight, 0300 UT Saturday on OETA, visual elements added such as
ballet dancers, scenic views of nature and grand architecture (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 276-MCW kHz, Jan 1 at 0733 UT, dash and YEL, 200-watt ND
beacon from Elliot Lake, Ontario; tuned to 275-USB (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CUBA [and non]. 7435, Jan 1 at 0528, heavy jamming against no R.
Martí; also on 7355, 7335, each with a different sound. The temporary
extension of RM to 0400-0600* was to expire after 5 December per HFCC;
unsure if that soon but definitely gone now; why? That supposedly
applied to 7435, 7355, 6030 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6100, Jan 1 at 0525, RHC in Spanish instead of English with
NYE special also commemorating the 62nd anniversary of The Revolution.
Nothing heard on 11670 like last night.

6145, Jan 1 at 0525, RHC English again reverted to A-season frequency
instead of 9700, // distorted 6000. Something`s always wrong at RHC
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. Heavy ice/snowfall seems to have knocked off
some ND beacons normally heard on groundwave, 1441-1447 UT after
sunrise Jan 1:

255-MCW, No SW, StillWater, nor earlier at 0731 UT
341-MCW, No EI, EnId, just OIN from OberlIN, Kansas
350-MCW, No RG, Oklahoma City, Will RoGers World Airport

These are still on in the 1441-1447 UT check Jan 1:
267-MCW, HET, 25 watts from HenryEtTa OK; tuned to 265-USB
293-MCW, FBY, 25 watts from FairBurY, Nebraska, regular often ignored
332-MCW, IC, 400 watts from wIChita - pICnIC, Kansas; no Canadian QRM
338-MCW, TU, 30 watts from TUlsa; not often heard
407-MCW, HRU, 25 watts, HeRington, KansUs; regular; tuned to 405-USB
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SAUDI ARABIA [and non]. 11745.0, Jan 1 at 1455, S9 ME music and
talk about Ibrahim; 1459 music modulation with some breaks in it.
Similar strength to 11815 Turkey. This is Al-Azm Radio, the AFRTS of
SA, so not clandestine as some calify it; see pages 357 and 522 of
WRTH 2021, where it`s among `Clandestine and Other Target
Broadcasts``, site presumed Jeddah but not confirmed. Often heard in
bandscans but now I log it for the record. Google translates the name
as ``Determination`` which seems quite appropriate for messing with a
neighboring country`s affairs, Yemen. Meanwhile, the clandestine
Republic of Yemen Radio is blocked on 11860 by Cuban jamming and R.
Martí. It used to be well heard before OCB usurped. BTW, the American
Forces Network does exist in SA via several FM frequencies in Jeddah
and Riyadh (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 305-MCW kHz, Jan 1 at 0744 UT, mixture of two NDBs when
tuned to 303-USB, very hard to untangle, but seem to hear ``ROM`` and
``OI``. These lead to:
OI, 25 watts at Sioux City - Tommi, Iowa

** U S A. 13555, Jan 1 at 1448, HIFER beacon WV definitely copied,
from Richwood, West Virginia, after trace on Dec 28. Now it`s better
than trace of K6FRC California on 13565; at least there are no Cuban
spurblobs today to avoid. But both encounter CODAR QRM (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7490v, in WOR iog discussion and on WOR 2067, I point out
the .0015% frequency tolerance FCC allows on WBCQ license; afraid I
got it wrong as David Freeborough explains:

Re: [WOR] Vague FCC info on WBCQ --- ``Hi Glenn, 0.0015% = 0.000015 =
15 parts per million. At 7490 kHz that's a frequency error of 112.35
Hz. David``

That still seems awfully lax; a SW frequency that far off is bound to
cause harmful interference to co-channel stations. I personally would
tolerate no more than say, plus/minus 10 Hz. WBCQ is anyway beyond
tolerance, typically lately up to 180 Hz high, but I doubt will be
facing megadollar fines, increased by inflation index (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
