 WORLD OF RADIO HITLIST update
Hi Glenn, my latest Hitlist update. https://www.w4uvh.net/hitlist.htm 1) Bulgaria - R Bulgaria: Updated links to point to new web domain. 2) China - Hello Xizang and PBS Xizang: Temporarily removed all links as www.vtibet.com times out and www.vtibet.cn seems to redirect to a potentially unsafe page. 3) UK - FEBA Radio: Updated link to home page (new domain name) 4) USA - R Martí: Updated link to frequencies (it's only for A-25, but better than previous B-23 link) 5) USA - WRMI: As the official WRMI schedules are so complex, and often inaccurate, I have added another alternative listing of WRMI programmes, this time provided by Tony Rogers on his dxguides.info website The next update is scheduled for 1 January 2026 Best wishes and 73, Alan Roe ** CANADA. 2749 USB, Nov 30 at 0719 UT, marine weather in French, S7. dxinfocentre.com does not show any starting before 0740, VCO Sydney NS (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 11880, Sun Nov 30 at 1618, RHC Esperanto only here, S9/+20 with good modulation. No signals at all on 15140, 13780, 11760. However, 11760 was on with S9 music at 1544. Io ĉiam estas malĝusta ĉe RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** FRANCE. 21660, Nov 30 at *1500, MiniTransAt cuts on with theme, then YL in heavily-accented English. Wish I could have copied exactly what she said about status of the race, which should be well over by now. By 1509 recheck in music; by 1525 recheck, off (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 9660.018+, Sunday Nov 30 at 1752, VOT English, S9+15/20 into UTwente concluding `The Pulse of Turkish Foreign Policy`, ``always-by-your-side`` promo. 1753 start `Letterbox`, which Cemre says will last 20 minutes, but axually 26. 1) USA, Steven Martin?, got 6125 at 0435 via SDR in Michigan. 2) UK, Paul Prokop?, NW England. 6 reports since Sept, with details from each read out. Considerable ACI from plus side, and then UTwente starts dropping out. I hasten to bring up another at random, Wessex UK. But I miss even more details than usual. 3) Mr Zhan?, using Netherlands SDR. 4) Kama? City, Japan, likes Turkish music, listened at 3 am local time to 9660. 5) Aman?, India, listener for 4 decades, has listeners club. 6) Mr Baine?, India, VOT glad still to provide hard-copy QSLs. Turkish TV programs popular in India, family values; SWL club. Now it`s 1812: 7) Mohammed Haidar? Hassim?, Malaysia. 8) Jayanta Chakraborty, New Delhi, VG signal on 6125 - he keeps reporting the NAm frequency at 0400, not the S Asian one: is it really better? 8) finally, Mohammed --, India, listener since 1985, in 344-member SW club on FB, wrote in ``Roman Urdu`` but this is still in English. 1818 concludes, 1819 theme and multi-lingual ID filler reel (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non].

Not in RNA list, but in case it were really on 385, there is EMR, 400 watts, `Emory`, Augusta GA. There are two in France including MR in 3-letter calls, surely not (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. Nov 16 reply to this was just found Nov 30, as like so many ABDX posts, it was in spam folder: Re: "UNIDENTIFIED. 810.58, Nov 15 at 0738 UT, JBA carrier hetting 810.0 WHB. Often heard, on slightly varying frequencies. Anyone else? No het from above 660 audible now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)" ``It's all over my recordings from the Nevada-Utah border again (Oct 23-28). This time it was audible up to 1300 UT, which really limits the possibilities if it is an actual broadcast station. I think I've eliminated all possible US stations except KXOI. I just need to double-check that I have a recording that shows KSWV is on frequency. I also think I've eliminated all the reasonable possibilities in Mexico, discounting XEFW (sporadic operation at very low power) and XEHT (unlicensed for years and believed off now, remaining active only on FM). At this point I strongly suspect it is either KXOI or something other than a licensed broadcaster. HTH, Tim Hall`` Per NRC AM Log, KXOI is: Crane TX, U4 1000/500, ``La Nueva Radio Alabanza``- Crane is just south of Odessa. Another reply from Tim Nov 30: ``Hi Glenn, In the meantime, I've found a Border Inn recording with KSWV operating on frequency, which seems to leave KXOI as the only unaccounted-for station likely to come in at that late hour. For what it's worth, KXOI was a nightly catch (even a bit of a pest) at the Border Inn before they went on and off the air for a few years. I have not logged them since 2019. They returned to the air in September 2021. I need to check my 2021 and 2023 DXpedition recordings to see if the signal was logged then (there was no 2022 DXpedition due to my wife's health). I know the mystery signal was logged on both my 2024 and 2025 DXpeditions, and I think the only audio I noted was some possible light Spanish language music. KXOI certainly seems plausible. 73 Tim`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 2000 UT November 30 _ Hard-Core-DX mailing list Hard-Core-DX@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/hard-core-dx http://www.hard-core-dx.com/
