DX/SWL/MEDIA PROGRAMS updated July 4 http://www.worldofradio.com/dxpgms.html ** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RC USB, Sat July 1 at 1803, zero signal direct from LRA36, but at 1807, S5/S7 into best Argentine SDR, music; 1827 after pause, CW ID starting with LRA36, then voice ID, and multi-lingual RAE ID reel. Manuel Méndez, Spain had got confirmation from station it would be on air today, unlike previous Wed and Sat. But I`m distracted by John Adams` ``Nixon in China``, this week`s opera on KUCO. At 1911, LRA36 peaking S9+10 with tango, ¿Gardel? By 2000 peaking only S6 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CANADA. 15034 USB, July 4 at 2220 UT, CHR, a listed callsign Trenton Military, Ontario, never utters with ID, ``time: 1820Z`` as it`s still giving EDT and calling it UT!! Std remark about Forces accuracy. To make matters worse, followed by ``No report received`` from: Calgary, Cold Lake, Winnipeg, Edmonton, and the list repeated for good measure. But the wx obs and forecast times seem correct in Z. Something`s always terribly wrong at Trenton (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CHINA [and non]. 13720, July 2 at 1347, very rough carrier here with some talk, tone. Aoki & EiBi show this hour has CNR1 or Firedrake jamming and RFA Tibetan via TAJIKISTAN. BTW, RFA Tibetan is making a whole bunch of frequency changes July 3 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CHINA. Sound of Hope and consequently CNR1 jammers are attracted to frequencies ending in XX920: July 2 at 1443, JBA carrier on 14920, then on 15920 instead; and also on slightly stronger 13920 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CHINA. 17880, July 4 at 2217, Chinese music S3/S6. Is CRI Spanish to S America beamed NW 318 degrees from Beijing site, a long way across Eurasia, Atlantic (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CHINA. 21490 & 21530, July 4 at 2214, JBA Chinese and carrier, the OSOBs, i.e. CNR1 jammers as Aoki lists both with nothing but * and Sound of Hope but not until 2300. Likewise, EiBi (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 11845, June 30 at 0658, pulse jamming against nothing by the incompetent and horribly wasteful DentroCuban Jamming Command on a frequency Radio Martí abandoned many years ago and then was only in daytime (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 11760, July 1 at 1513, S9/+10 of dead air and still at 1524 from RHC. What about the only other scheduled midday frequency, 15140? At 1517 it`s S6/S7 with Spanish undermodulation cutting on and off, a great improvement! Wiggle that patchcord. Somethings` always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 13700, July 2 at 1347, no signal direct from RHC. Consequently no huge spurblobs out of that transmitter either. I`m seldom monitoring before 1400 so make a point to check this today, since nominal sked was 1100-1400. Searching archive of reports I do not find anyone else reporting at least 13700 for many months. Seems at least one RHC transmitter be permanently off. Other frequencies AWOL are 11880 afternoons, 6060 and 6100 evenings/nights (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 15140, July 4 at 1432, RHC, S8/9+10 flanked by +/- ~4 kHz much weaker but obvious parasitic spurs which I measure individually, 15136.982 and 15144.023; but each wavering so let`s just say 15135.98V and 15144.02V. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 15230, July 4 at 2222, RHC with S3/S5 of dead air. Supposed to be in Portuguese from 2200; sorry, brasileiros, no Commie propaganda today. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 9700, July 5 at 0627, RHC English VG S9+20 on extra frequency tonight, nowhere else; talking about baseball players, not currently but historically in the 30s, 40s, etc., as DDC would remind us, all the talented ones have fled Cuban Communism. Cannot detect any QRM, but Romania may have just closed if not totally covered; and NZ stays away this time. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** FRANCE. Tnx to RRR for replying to this: ``UNIDENTIFIED. 17755-17760-17765, June 28 at 2216, loud DRMish noise but metering S3, nothing listed now in HFCC, EiBi or Aoki, but CRI in DRM on 17760 at 07-09; RRI also uses 17760 at other times but only AM.

UNIDENTIFIED. 13690-13695-13700, July 2 at 2206, DRM noise at S9 direct. Not listed anywhere, Aoki, EiBi, latest HFCC nor even DRMrx. Suspect another DEMO TDF from FRANCE as a few days ago on 17755-17760-17765, nor listed anywhere, unrechecked now. Issoudun also uses 13695 other dayparts in AM (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** FRANCE. 13690-13695-13700, July 3 at 2228 I remember just in time to recheck for yesterday`s unID DRM: into Virginia SDR it is indeed another DEMO TDF at 8.08 kbps, ex-17755-17760-17765 no longer there. Off abruptly at 2230* (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** IRELAND. 8957 USB, July 1 at 0557, JBA VOLMET in YL voice, synth? It`s Shannon, 24 hours here (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NEW ZEALAND. 8828 USB, July 1 at 0554, weak VOLMET. Auckland is scheduled starting at :50 and :20 past every hour, per EiBi. 8828 is timeshared with Tokyo at :10 and :40, Hongkong at :15 and :45. If each be 5 minutes max, that leaves open :00 & :30, :05 & :35, :25 & :55 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NEW ZEALAND [and non]. 9700, Saturday July 1 at 0600, NZ news, VG S9/+10, new for July? But still on 11725 //, S9+10/20. No, current websked shows 11725 only. Presumably test as normally they never run both transmitters at same time in AM. 9700 is sked elsewhen in AM, 1651-1958 except Sats. By 0602, there is SAH from another carrier on 9700. That would be RRI in German. There could be a 3-way collision if RHC happened to land here, but not tonight (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 7475, July 2 at 0639, JBA talk vs S9 HSNL, presumably anti-Christ pirate Station YHWH; tnx to tips from Lucas Bandura, Walt Salmaniw and Eric Fetters-Walp on the WOR iog who were still hearing him around 0630, much later than usual. 7400, July 2 at 0640, JBA carrier here too, presumably Radio Eastern Star or whatever currently named (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA [and non]. Signs of sporadic E into FM band on DXMAPs, so out to the car to check. Once again, none of that reaching here, but there is tropo from as far as Shreveport. Major Tulsa stations such as 96.5 are in like locals, and some weaker ones not normally heard like 102.3 KRMG can also make it. In fact there is a huge, heavy and growing tropo blob over east TX, most of LA, AR and much of OK. Standard introduxion applies.

Bandscan circa 0430 gets lots of BAD signals on open channels, but none decoding except RF20 Tulsa (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 90.1, KUCO FM, our classical station, keeps jumbling its programming around; will it ever settle down? https://www.kucofm.com/program-grid/ I was getting into `Performance Today` which they picked up a couple months ago, but now it`s gone again, replaced by local origination without explanation. Of course we can still hear PT via https://www.yourclassical.org/performance-today or on some other webcasting station. Huge listing here but each must be confirmed: http://publicradiofan.com/cgibin/program.pl?programid=360 Long-running `The Score` from Portland, filmusic, has just been replaced on KUCO by `Reel Music` another cinematic co-produced by KBAQ Phœnix and WDAV Davidson NC, Fri 19-20 & Sat 16-17 UT. KUCO says due to unexpected price hike by The Score. We can still get that from HQ station KQAC both Sat & Sun at 21-22 UT. Brit EdmUnd Stone has a more erudite style. Reel guy Matt Rogers inserts drive-in movie promos, like go get food and drink, but the music is still VG. This `Reel Music` is as yet unknown? to publicradiofan.com. An ``eclectic`` show of same name is listed for WETS in TN, but unfound on its own schedule. PRF shows it on only one different station, KMUC in MO, Fridays at 19-20 UT. It is still sked there on KMUC, HD2 subsidiary of KBIA Columbia. See: https://kbaq.org/reelmusic Same time as KQAC on Sat at 21-22 is yet another cinemusic show, `Film At Five` on WCLV. It used to be repeated 7 hours later = 05 UT in winter but no more (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 96.9, July 2 at 1658 UT, futile bandscan for Es can`t help but notice that local KQOB is in dead air for 2+ minutes, but remodulating by 1702 (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. Re: ``Area tropo is up per APRS map, reaching Enid from west, south, east. RF 14, June 27 at 1520 UT, brief decode with PSIP ID for KOCY as 48-3. That`s Telemundo, unnecessary since is also on a much stronger subchannel of RF 29 KTUZ...`` Correxion, I meant to say it`s Estrella TV, not Telemundo. However, this is no longer the case! Punch 48 or 48-3 and you get nowhere. Per rabbitears.info, Estrella is only on lowpower KOCY-LD RF14. It`s still Tyler Media, but among the 7 programs on RF29 KTUZ ``Shawnee`` are Telemundo, Univision, and Unimas, no Estrella. Which means in effect we can no longer get it in Enid as it`s not on any tier of Optimum cable either. It was clearly an inferior net to UV and TM, with even more lowbrow programming. Lots of ondemand stuff here, and en vivo just playing one promo over and over before supposedly joining programming, like novelas, silly game and talk shows: https://www.estrellatv.com/ HQ in Burbank CA, apparently not a Mexican subsidiary. And my Zenith settopbox has resumed flashing on in only about 5 seconds instead of 5 or 6 times that long (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. RF 28, July 5 at 1735 UT, Enid on edge of some OK tropo eastward so a bandscan: surprised on RF 28 remapping to be getting ``2-11``, KJRH `2 News at Noon`, decoding for a few minutes. Its prime RF has long been on channel 8, not to be confused with original analog competitor on 8, KTUL. RF 28 is really KTPX Okmulgee, primarily ION as 44-1, not unusual to be getting that. Now rabbitears.info does show 02-11 on 28.4 as KJRH-TV, the rest of the 28s being ION and the usual assortment of shopping and rerun channels. Searching on callsign KJRH still leads only to RF 8 Tulsa; we have to go directly to KTPX to explore its other hidden channels topped by 02-11 KJRH. And why such a high number -11? on Physical 28 there are .10 lower subchannels, but no reason for KJRH on 28.4 to be called 2-11. Its own extensive website has nothing labeled as basic tech info such as which channel[s] it`s really on and from where! not even under About Us, https://www.kjrh.com/antenna which is pushing antenna equipment in general. Seems that more and more, a single ``station`` appear on more than one ``channel`` in same market. CBS for Tulsa, KOTV ``6`` is on three different UHF channels (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** ROMANIA. 11800, July 5 at 2255, RRI concluding VG English hour into UTwente, cut short during contact info at 2255.6*; something`s gone wrong at Galbeni, in too big a hurry to change beams for Spanish at 2300 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SAO TOME E PRINCIPE. 15460, Sun July 2 at 1442, S7/9+10 algo just barely modulated.

The 04-11 S/S only now also applies to WRMI-14 on 5010. Additional restrixions to S/S only TOMBS: 11-15 on WRMI-13 7780; 13-15 on WRMI-12 5850.

Compilation of posts on the bdxc-uk, odxa and WOR iogs July 1: [bdxc-news] Radio Thailand new schedule from July 1st Dear Valued Listeners, We would like to inform you about an important update regarding the schedule of the Radio Thailand World Service (Shortwave Radio Program). Effective from July 1st, 2023, there will be a change in the broadcast schedule. The new schedule will take effect at 0000 UTC. Thank you for your understanding and continued support. Best regards, Radio Thailand World Service 0000-0030 English 13750 kHz 0200-0230 English 13750 0500-0530 English 17640 1200-1230 English 9940 1230-1245 Vietnamese 9940 1245-1300 Mandarin 9940 1300-1315 Japanese 9940 1315-1330 Malaysian 9940 1330-1400 English 9940 1800-1830 English 7475 1830-1930 English 7475 #radiothailandworldservices #RadioThailand #FM88 (via Alan Pennington) ?? Does this mean all broadcasts in their own language, Thai, are canceled? Why don`t they say so? Check 13750 at 0030-0200. The others are more or less as in B-22 WRTH. A hotlink heading the sked goes to disgraced FB, not even to own website. Glenn Yes, only Radio Saranrom continues on 1575 kHz. There's an unfortunate error in https://wrth.info/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/WRTH23_INT_Summer_13.pdf 1330-1400 9940 kHz should also be in English, not Thai. Mauno Yes. This question was asked on their Facebook page: ".....But will there be no more Thai programs in the future?" And Radio Thailand World Service responded: "And yes, we will no longer have Thai program from Jul, 1st." 73 Alan Coming in well on an SDR in Indonesia at 0005 UTC, in English, on new 13750. Harold Sellers, Vernon, BC Jakarta is still getting a noisy signal on 13750 at 0037, something in English about China. Well, HSK9 English used to be 30 + 30 minutes from 0000. What will happen at 0100? Glenn 0047: I have not listened closely but it may well be CRI, per Aoki 00-01 this hour in English on 13750. Is Harold sure it was Thailand at 0000, no China QRM either? Thailand had been on 15590 per Aoki but nothing there now. Was 0000-0030 English, 0030-0100 Thai, 01-02 break, 0200-0230 English. Glenn Yes, I heard them talking about events in Thailand. I hope to check again at 0200 for their next English half-hour. Harold Yes, it was CGTN Radio = CRI in English until 0100 on 13750, replaced at 0100 by much stronger Deewa Radio = VOA Pashto which is via Thailand, at 0100-0400 per Aoki. That could be a problem for R. Thailand any later than now. Glenn Heard again via the Indonesia SDR. Radio Thailand signing on in English at 0200 on 13750. ID heard, but VOA Radio Deewa was stronger. Radio Thailand needs to try another frequency. Harold Sellers, Vernon, BC As also noted here via Jak. If these are both really from Udon Thani site, what a mess. Nobody noticed they already had a program on 13750? Even if different sites, unacceptable. Maybe to Harold direct RT in English rules? Later after 0200: no signal direct to here from anything on 13750 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785.009, June 30 at 2211, VOT is S9+40/45 into UTwente, VG signal and modulation today. After news, `Weekly Analysis` by some professor whose name and institution I can`t possibly copy; about Turkey, Russia, Ukraine, Baltix, NATO OK for Finland but not Sweden without more concessions to Turkey over PKK. Nothing new here. 2216 `Feeling Supreme/The Healing Spring` about preventing gastrointestinal infexions with symptoms such as womiting, diarrhea: start with washing hands frequently. 2224 `TRT always by your side` promo, song. 2227 another song. 2229* dumps off the air! by *2233 back on amid `Did You Know That` by the badaccentedess, something about chestnuts. 2235 song. 2238 another song. 2242 `every hour with you everywhere` promo, song. 2246 another song. 2250 s/off a bit early by the badaccentedess as always jumbled curtailed sked about 4 other English emissions than this one. 2251.5 IS starts. 2256 pause and restart IS now with German IDs interspersed twice a minute. But chopped off air just in time at 2259.5* to avoid an extraneous German hour. And incredibly never heard even once today the 2-minute multilingual ID filler reel. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler and/or awry at Ankara (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785.009, July 1 at 2215, VOT is not off the air, rather VG modulation and S9+25/35 signal into UTwente; something about Dracula? I`m mainly monitoring elsewhere but a few chex here: 2225 multi-lingual ID filler reel. 2241 something about cheese. s/off and IS chopped before completed even once at 2254.7* No finesse! Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785, July 2 after 2200, VOT English confirmed not off the air today in quick check, but only fair direct (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785.004?, July 3 about *2200.7, VOT carrier cuts on late as seen via UTwente, but right off again and never comes back for at least 30 minutes. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785.023, July 4 at 2245, VOT English with bit by the badaccentedess, S9+35/45 into UTwente with squeal. Must narrow bandwidth below 4 kHz to mimimize it. Probably different transmitter than the .009 one with no squeal. 2252 theme and outro `Weekly Commentary``: you never in what order or what hourpart any individual feature may appear. 2253 jumbled s/off, 2254 IS. 2256 restart IS, now with German IDs interspersed. 2300 TS and whoopee, a bonus German Sendung today, until?? Still going at 2316. Earlier check direct at 2210 was only S3/S8 with squeal, news item about carbon-neutral, sports. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY [and non]. 11785.023, July 4, continued from previous report that bonus German from VOT was still running post-English, at 2316: completed at 2352, into IS, still not turned off; 2356 restart IS, now with Portuguese IDs. Still listening via UTwente. ```Stão ouvindo Rádio TRT, Voz de Türkiye`` in Luso accent, not Brasilian. I have no idea how we are supposed to spell ``Türkiye`` in PP. Are we allowed to render it closer fonetikaly, like ``Túrquilhe``?? In Portuguese there is no confusion with that low-IQ bird, which they call ``Peru``! That opens a whole nother can of worms if that country were as touchy as Recep. Spanish has a whole bunch of other names for the bird per Google translate: pav@ [that means either -a or -o depending on gender], el guajolote, el chompipe, el pato mareado, el patoso. July 5 UT: 0000 timesignal only 6 sex late as received, s/on in PP, and still on past 0030, still squealing and +23 Hz offset transmitter. We get the *whole* extra hour of PP as well as GG. That sort of compensates for RHC failure to Portuguize at 2200 on 15230, tho I doubt there were any collusion. 0056 resumes IS, now with IDs in Spanish, but chopped off air finally TWO hours late at 0058*, as if intentional, uncovering a much weaker S7 signal, still sync-locking now on 11785.000 - likely listed CNR Xian, or CNR-2 Xianyang, which was already on air but totally covered by TRT. Somethings` always erroneous at Emirler if not awry at Ankara. Latest A23 WRTH Update #13 July 1 still shows NO Portuguese at all on SW from VOT, but Spanish at 0100 on 7260 & 9870: unknown when I was monitoring, to check whether either be active. German: only 1130 on 15350; 1730 on 9840. Perhaps somewhere on website be total 24h sked of langs on program feed line, beyond the scope of WRTH (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY [and non]. 11785.019, July 5 after 2200, VOT English is not off the air, S9+40/45 into UTwente, somewhat undermodulated and distorted, does not compare well to neighbor RRI English on 11800.000 which is louder and clearer. 2212 `Review of the Tuerkiyeish Press`, something about an AI radio demonstration in Geneva? 2214, `Whipping Piles/Gripping Files`, could not understand the topic; 2218 multi-lingual ID filler reel; 2220 `Weekly Commentary` about Turkey, Sweden, PKK and NATO; 2243, `Feeling Supreme/The Healing Spring` on treating gas problems in babies; 2250 music. 2253 usual canned sign-off; 2255 IS about once and off (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** UQKOGBANI. 11253 USB, July 1 at 0615, VOLMET by YL voice, synth?

Like CODAR swirshing itself, these IDs are very wideband, not on one discrete CW frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 17530, Mon July 3 at 1915, S9+10 of dead air, obviously VOA Grimesland NC, scheduled for French at 1930-2030 following 1700-1830 English. Do they leave it on for a whole hour in between? Better not: 1830-1900 M-F is Kinyarwanda via Ascension.

I`ve been checking Allan Weiner on Twitter for any hints about whether `AAAWWW` will be live this week, often misleading, but now June 30, disgraced Twitter won`t let me look at his without signing in and establishing my own account. Is this a fluke or a policy change by T or by BCQ? Tsk2 (7490-), UT Sat July 1 at 0000, WBCQ webcast seems like a new one: opening exclamation: ``Hot as hell!`` except most of June has been cool and rainy in northern Maine until some sunshine reached 80 rather than 60. Angela is remote on phone, i.e. back in Florida. Mostly talking about car touring, a fun thing for him, driving a Model T around Vermont with other enthusiasts. This happens every two years by the HCCA - Horseless Carriage Club of America. He`s into the ``brass era`` over 110 years ago. At 0026 I check the SW frequencies into Maryland SDR: 7490 -72 Hz = 7489.928; 6160 -68 Hz = 6159.932; also on: 5130 -22 Hz = 5129.978; and even 3265 + 132 Hz = 3265.132, JBA. By 0048 has drifted down to 3265.112. 0035 takes a phone call but blows her off as ``garbage``. 0036 finally does intro but no datestamp, confirming quadricasting. 0037 call from Leo on a cargo ship in the north Pacific who can`t pick up any of the SW frequencies. And soon another call. 0044, should we get political? Angela still wants to talk about car touring. 0053 reading email. 0058 a few new FRW items. 0059 quick prayer, but running overtime as usual past 0100, plug 4th of July, beyond that not getting political; what a relief; until JIP far-right Hal Turner about a sesquiminute late (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 17790, July 1 at 1520, S7/S9 dead air or maybe trace of mod, from WRMI-7, S American service of ``Radio Africa`` as forced by circumstance of continued loss of eastward antenna, ``Pan American Broadcasting`` is axually PanAm instead of PanAf.
