** ANGUILLA. 18121-USB, Oct 20 at 2132, CQ DX from VP2E#H; can`t copy
the middle letter on two or three utterations. On QRZ.com lookup went
thru entire alfabet and found four fitters: VP2EEH, EIH, EMH and EQH
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ANTARCTICA. 15476-, Oct 20 after 2300, no signal from LRA36 for
final repeat of anniversary special, via the S American remote which
did forward it as late as 1930. Not too surprising as post-sunset down
there, a good reason not to regularly broadcast evenings if nothing
but such a high frequency be available (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** ARMENIA. 9300, Oct 21 at 1313, TWR music box IS, S4-S6 with
flutter; preceding the TWR Indian broadcast at 1315, which on Monday
and Tuesday is in the MUNdari language spoken by 1.1 million in
Jharkhand, Odisha, per EiBi (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BRAZIL. 9818.483, Oct 21 at 0621, JBA signal with some modulation,
no doubt R. 9 de Julho with R. Aparecida programming. What else? Own
Aparecida appears to lack an apparition on 9630+, but there is a much
stronger:

9664.859, Oct 21 at 0623, Brazuguese conversation at S9-S7, from Voz
Missionária well heard overnight (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** CHINA. 9180, 9215, 10960, 11440, 11460, 12880, Oct 21 at 1312-1321,
only WOOB CNR1 jammer/carriers found in a sweep from 9 to 15 MHz
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** JAPAN. 774 & 828, Oct 21 at 1225, JBA YL talk, no doubt the
superpower NHKs in Akita and Osaka, tho can`t be sure of language and
not necessarily Japanese during language lessons. I also have no doubt
I`m getting same stations when they are JBA carriers looping NW (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) see also UNIDENTIFIED

** KOREA SOUTH. 3480, 3910, 3984, 4450, 4880, 5995, 6515, 6600, 9095,
Oct 2 at 1256, quick survey of EOH/VOH/VOP clandestine frequencies
find some have shifted a further 5 kHz than before, some back on
originals; also Japan 3925 seems to have CCI SAH and nothing on 3930!
Can`t tell if on 6250 due to uteblob. Some also have jamming noise,
some not, or JBA carriers, but presumed since nothing 5 kHz away where
previously landed (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KURDISTAN [non]. 11530, Oct 20 at 1715, S9+20 of Cuban spy numbers
and diginoise overrides any possible Turkish clandestine here.
11540, Oct 20 at 1715 has some weak talk presumably Dengê Welat. Above
should have preceded my subsequent obs at 1940 as in last report.

11540, Oct 21 at 1316, Kurdish? talk presumed from Dengê Welat, maybe
jamming but nothing on 11530 from new Turkish counterpart.

Other reports about these today; from Ivo Ivanov, Observer, Bulgaria:
``TURKEY/KURDISTAN Pro Erdogan Radio Recep & Denge Welat, October 21:
from 1500 NF 11540.0*EMR 500 kW/105 deg Turkish, good+STANAG ex 11530

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TOddHnIREDE&feature=youtu.be
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zDXyGVuogW0&feature=youtu.be ``

Kai Ludwig, Germany: ``Earlier in the evening, before everything faded
out, clearly two different signals, with carriers hetting against each
other, could be noted on 11540 while no trace of any carrier was on
11530 anymore. So indeed Emirler followed Denge Welat, thus their
intention is not to take over the established frequency and its
Kurdish audience but merely to jam Denge Welat.

Meanwhile also routing for this "special broadcast" has been found:
http://en.digitalbitrate.com/dtv.php?mux=11096&pid=28&live=89&sec=0&lang=en

The ID of this channel indicates that it was the feed for the Arabic
broadcasts on 630 and 1062 kHz, which apparently have been
discontinued recently. So TRT is really deeply involved in this
jamming operation. Kai`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KUWAIT. 15090, Oct 21 at 1409, JBA carrier. EiBi shows R. Liberty
all the way from 0430 to 1430 alternating Dari and Pashto for IRAN ---
shouldn`t that be AFGHANISTAN? With inband 19m SWBC so little-used,
there is no reason for a major broadcaster to intrude into the aero
band (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 1090, Oct 21 at 0559, YL promo for `Milenio Diario`
newscast at L-V times, 0600 into infomercial. Still no ID, but another
match for XEAU, Monterrey, since searching immediately finds:

``XEAU-AM is a radio station on 1090 AM in Monterrey, Nuevo León. It
is owned by Multimedios Radio and carries Milenio Radio along with
sister station XHFMTU-FM 103.7 HD3. Wikipedia``. Of course that does
not prove that no other 1090 station airs M.D., but surely XEAU, our
closest 1090 anyway is the one I have been hearing. As usual, KAAY
from the east can be nulled, but not the annoying 1089 het from the
700+ kW of UK synchros (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. Re my ID of the 1130 station as XEYZ Aguascalientes2, still
on the AM air, Tim Hall, editor of the IRCA Mexican Log, replies,
first on the ABDX yg:

``Thanks for the update. This is very odd. I can't imagine what they
would be doing back on the air. They surrendered their AM license
almost a year and a half ago (see URL below for a copy of the
self-cancellation letter). I haven't heard anything about them being
forced to turn the AM back on (a "continuity obligation" can be
invoked if the Mexican government determines that the AM shutdown
leaves even a few people with no remaining radio or TV coverage). The
AM license was not restored as of the August 2019 IFT list. Maybe it
will show up on the next list?

73 Tim``

And directly Oct 21: ``For now I've added the note to the Mex list
database. I'll see if I can re-log XEYZ from the Border Inn next
weekend. Hopefully I'll catch XECHAP too, if they made their projected
on-air date of Oct 4th.

** OKLAHOMA. 341 kHz, EI, Enid`s only NDB, 25 watts at Woodring
Airport, has not been heard since Sept 7 when it was audible along
with YYU in Kapuskasing, the latter scheduled for decommissioning Oct
10. That leaves on 341 OIN, Oberlin KS and many others listed.

It appears EI has also been. I finally visited Woodring the afternoon
of Oct 21 and asked their new diector, Deirdre Gurry, about it:

It`s the FAA`s responsibility and I should seek out a NOTAM notice
about it, but she thinx it used to be on the south side of the runway,
and that such LW beacons are being phased out as who needs them with
GPS? Maybe it failed naturally and will not be fixed.

still AWOL after sunrise, leaving us to hear mariachi borracha music
from the NW = KFCS Colorado Springs, which is not supposed to go from
140 watts night to 10000 day until 1315 UT in October (1345:
November), but soon fading while KHGG AR talk ascends. By 1900 UT
check, however, KOKB is back on alone (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX

** OKLAHOMA. 88.2V, Oct 21 at 1335 UT, big hum and carrier around
88.3, very intermittent, blocking KWOU 88.1 during `Stardate` at
1342.5; not my transmitter and heard on at least 3 radios, again
suspected to be the rotten K202BY Family Radio translator for Enid,

UNIDENTIFIED. 1490, Oct 21 at 1308 UT, ``APR Network News`` plug,
perhaps outro of `cast, loops E-W, briefly atop jungle. Figure it must
something from Arkansas, of which there are 3, but no connexion to any
such network in the NRC AM Log or by searching; closest is KWXT
Dardanelle; more easterly but further, KDRS Paragould; and more to the
SE, KXAR Hope. Alabama Public Radio calls itself APR, but all on FM

What`s this, military? UDXF iog searches on frequency, calls
unproductive (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 9630.0, Oct 21 at 0627, JBA 1 kHz tone, like carriers on

measured on 31m. Only thing scheduled is CNR1, besides an alternate
channel for RNZI (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ANTARCTICA. So did anyone hear directly or indirectly, the
publicized LRA36 anniversary special today? I did get the JBA 15476-
carrier at 1400. Altho scheduled to be 3 hours long from 1200,
including multi-lingual segments, 2-hour repeats are scheduled for
18-20 and 23-01 UT, with music in between (Glenn Hauser, 1615 UT Oct
20, WOR iog via DX LISTENING DIGEST)

No positive replies to that. Around 1830 Oct 20, I start trying to
hear it via remote KiwiSDRs --- most in S America either busy or no
signal. By 1842 I get one outside Brasil with a very weak S2v signal
on 15475.93-USB as tuned. Immediately hear ``Arcángel San Gabriel``
mentioned and an occasional copiable word later or by a man, a break
for a song, and more conversation past 1930 but just about gone. With
my paltry further details I may yet try for a QSL (Glenn Hauser, OK,

** CANADA. 15034-USB, Oct 20 at 1435, for the record, Trenton Military
is still distorted and ``no report received`` from anywhere
(presumably, altho I do not listen to entire cycles, but always such
at random chex) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA [and non]. 9659.95, Oct 20 at 1439, some off-frequency talk
vs weaker 9660.0. CNR1 jammers are usually on-frequency, but this
makes it a bit worse, vs RTI, both 1000-1600 per Aoki and nothing else
on 9660 during this span (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KURDISTAN [non]. 11540, Oct 20 at 1530, VP S2-S3 signal, and a
noisy weaker one on 11530.

11540 is much better at 1940 but still poor S5-S7 talk, sounds like
Türkish, no QRM audible; and 11530 is a JBA carrier. Best I can do,
but there has been heavy discussion on the WOR iog by those further
east:

Dengê Welat, the PKK clandestine transmitted from France or
Pridnestrovye, has shifted from 11530 to 11540, after Turkey usurped
11530 with some kind of anti-PKK clandestine, while also jamming
11540. Note that DW is not all-Kurdish language, has long been partly
in Turkish.

Roger provides TDOA map showing 11540 coming from eastern Romania:
11540 kHz Radyo ya Dengê Welat so ca. östliches Rumänien:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/j1jvw1z5q4w38yo/2019-10-20_11540_kHz_1015z.png?dl=0

And roger provides TDOA map showing 11530 site now surely Emirler:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/fc1mlsuhett94da/2019-10-20_11530_kHz_0940z.png?dl=0

Similar thing happening to other DW frequency 9525. Wolfgang Bueschel
reported: ``9525even kHz Dengê Welat {ex 'Radyoya Dengê Kurdistane'}
program regularly from Radiotelecentr (PRTC) transmitter Grigoriopol
Maiac in Moldova Pridnestrovie, now jammed by Turkish station on odd

9525.782 kHz and result accordingly as 800 Hertz whistle BUZZ tone.

7350 / or 9525 kHz at 0330-0500 UT
11530 kHz at 0500-2100 UT or
11530 / or 9525 kHz at 1330-2100 UT. 73 wolfie df5sx``

On Oct 20, Kai Ludwig, Germany, tells me: ``Yes, Dengê Welat from
Grigoriopol is now on 11540 kHz while some other transmission is on
11530 kHz. The audio of this other transmission sounds like Emirler
transmissions typically do (no high-pass filtering, no hard multiband
compression), and the frequency deviations are typical as well. Thus
there should be little doubt about Emirler being the origin of this RF
signal.

Next question is, of course, about the program audio TRT puts on these
war transmissions. A quick, first impression is that it is indeed
heavy war propaganda. So the next steps would be, of course, to work
out the ID this program uses (do they operate it in "clandestine
station" style?) and to determine if it goes out anywhere else, too
(like on Turksat satellites).

[later:] The Emirler transmission on 11530 kHz is a loop of 30 minutes
and a few seconds, with no obvious station/program name being noted so
far. A detailed monitoring report is here [in German]:
https://www.radioeins.de/programm/sendungen/medienmagazin/radio_news/beitraege/2014/denge_kurdistane.html

So in all likelihood no other distribution platforms are in use for
this, ahem, audio product. Still it could be worth to check if this
program audio is on Türksat, which could be the case if TRT has
terminated the terrestrial circuits to Emirler and this loop is not
played out locally.

The evening transmission of Dengê Welat via Issoudun has been moved to
11540 kHz, too. So what remains to be determined is what they do with
the 31 metres morning slot. Kai`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 1090, Oct 20 at 0622, Spanish from the south finally with a
non-mattress infomercial, instead sounds like ``Derma-Wand`` some
product for women`s anti-aging skin care. Yes, there is such a thing,
with very mixed reviews in English. XEAU Monterrey still suspected but
no ID (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 1130, I am still trying to ID the Spanish here, which has

``XEYZ, Aguascalientes2, 10/2.5 kW, La Poderosa 107.7; La Más Famosa,

extend that to 10/19! And put it back into the Log. Approx. from SSW,
making medium SAH with KWKH to the SE nulled as much as possible

** U S A. Oct 20 at 1448 UT, some tropo DTV DX as we are on the edge
of level-1 per Hepburn predixions, extending as far as DFW, KC and St
Louis, with higher levels. Bandscan finds Bad signals on many
channels: 8, 10, 11, 12, 21, 26, 28, 31, 35, 36, 45. And also some OKC
channels are Bad, blocked by DX: 7, 13, 18, 23, 33. I wonder what`s on
RF 13. There are a bunch of further full-power if not super-power
Texans, but in Dallas only a 3 kW CP for KHFD-LD.

Besides RF 20, 19-1 KQCW-HD in Tulsa market, two decodes from The
Metroplex:

RF 30, DTV 29-1 KMPX, 1448 UT Oct 20, infomercials in Spanish, 1459 ad
for Luna 98.3 FM Solo Exitos, and Estrella TV logo; 29-2 a different
Spanish infomercial, 1500 one in English. W9WI.com shows 29.1 only, a
megawatt in Decatur TX with a 900 kW backup. Decatur is NW of Dallas,
almost halfway to Wichita Falls.

RF 14, KERA-HD 13-1, with PBS; 13-2 kids, 13-3 Create (like KETA but
its 13-2 is World, and kids is on 13-4). Contrary to W9WI.com which
shows KERA with PBS World on -2. KERA Dallas runs 975 kW ERP.
Rabbitears.info matches the channeling I have monitored (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 810, Oct 20 at 0050 UT, I am hearing rapid SBG coverage
in Spanish, employing pelotas, mentions Atlanta. Are The Braves
playing right now, and where would they be broadcast in Spanish?

The only Mexican in the NW is XERSV, Ciudad Obregón, Sonora, 5 kW
daytimer (until 0200?) with news format. KSWV Santa Fe? It`s not
Spanish any more, or even Spanglish with CLR FM 99.9 simulcast and
more westerly than my DF of WSW/ENE. By language, proximity, direxion
and legal night operation, the best US fit is KXOI Crane (Odessa
market) TX, U4 1000/500 --- except it`s SS:REL. Other SS of some sort
are in FL, IN, MI, TN, mostly daytimers or negligible night power and
none with sports format, tho SBGs often preëmpt a station`s nominal

** ANTARCTICA. So did anyone hear directly or indirectly, the
publicized LRA36 anniversary special today? I did get the JBA 15476-
carrier at 1400. Altho scheduled to be 3 hours long from 1200,
including multi-lingual segments, 2-hour repeats are scheduled for
18-20 and 23-01 UT, with music in between (Glenn Hauser, 1615 UT Oct
20, WOR iog via DX LISTENING DIGEST)

No positive replies to that. Around 1830 Oct 20, I start trying to
hear it via remote KiwiSDRs --- most in S America either busy or no
signal. By 1842 I get one outside Brasil with a very weak S2v signal
on 15475.93-USB as tuned. Immediately hear ``Arcángel San Gabriel``
mentioned and an occasional copiable word later or by a man, a break
for a song, and more conversation past 1930 but just about gone. With
my paltry further details I may yet try for a QSL (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CANADA. 15034-USB, Oct 20 at 1435, for the record, Trenton Military
is still distorted and ``no report received`` from anywhere
(presumably, altho I do not listen to entire cycles, but always such
at random chex) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA [and non]. 9659.95, Oct 20 at 1439, some off-frequency talk
vs weaker 9660.0. CNR1 jammers are usually on-frequency, but this
makes it a bit worse, vs RTI, both 1000-1600 per Aoki and nothing else
on 9660 during this span (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KURDISTAN [non]. 11540, Oct 20 at 1530, VP S2-S3 signal, and a
noisy weaker one on 11530.

11540 is much better at 1940 but still poor S5-S7 talk, sounds like
Türkish, no QRM audible; and 11530 is a JBA carrier. Best I can do,
but there has been heavy discussion on the WOR iog by those further
east:

Dengê Welat, the PKK clandestine transmitted from France or
Pridnestrovye, has shifted from 11530 to 11540, after Turkey usurped
11530 with some kind of anti-PKK clandestine, while also jamming
11540. Note that DW is not all-Kurdish language, has long been partly
in Turkish.

Roger provides TDOA map showing 11540 coming from eastern Romania:
11540 kHz Radyo ya Dengê Welat so ca. östliches Rumänien:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/j1jvw1z5q4w38yo/2019-10-20_11540_kHz_1015z.png?dl=0

And roger provides TDOA map showing 11530 site now surely Emirler:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/fc1mlsuhett94da/2019-10-20_11530_kHz_0940z.png?dl=0

Similar thing happening to other DW frequency 9525. Wolfgang Bueschel
reported: ``9525even kHz Dengê Welat {ex 'Radyoya Dengê Kurdistane'}
program regularly from Radiotelecentr (PRTC) transmitter Grigoriopol
Maiac in Moldova Pridnestrovie, now jammed by Turkish station on odd

9525.782 kHz and result accordingly as 800 Hertz whistle BUZZ tone.

7350 / or 9525 kHz at 0330-0500 UT
11530 kHz at 0500-2100 UT or
11530 / or 9525 kHz at 1330-2100 UT. 73 wolfie df5sx``

On Oct 20, Kai Ludwig, Germany, tells me: ``Yes, Dengê Welat from
Grigoriopol is now on 11540 kHz while some other transmission is on
11530 kHz. The audio of this other transmission sounds like Emirler
transmissions typically do (no high-pass filtering, no hard multiband
compression), and the frequency deviations are typical as well. Thus
there should be little doubt about Emirler being the origin of this RF
signal.

Next question is, of course, about the program audio TRT puts on these
war transmissions. A quick, first impression is that it is indeed
heavy war propaganda. So the next steps would be, of course, to work
out the ID this program uses (do they operate it in "clandestine
station" style?) and to determine if it goes out anywhere else, too
(like on Turksat satellites).

[later:] The Emirler transmission on 11530 kHz is a loop of 30 minutes
and a few seconds, with no obvious station/program name being noted so
far. A detailed monitoring report is here [in German]:
https://www.radioeins.de/programm/sendungen/medienmagazin/radio_news/beitraege/2014/denge_kurdistane.html

So in all likelihood no other distribution platforms are in use for
this, ahem, audio product. Still it could be worth to check if this
program audio is on Türksat, which could be the case if TRT has
terminated the terrestrial circuits to Emirler and this loop is not
played out locally.

The evening transmission of Dengê Welat via Issoudun has been moved to
11540 kHz, too. So what remains to be determined is what they do with
the 31 metres morning slot. Kai`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 1090, Oct 20 at 0622, Spanish from the south finally with a
non-mattress infomercial, instead sounds like ``Derma-Wand`` some
product for women`s anti-aging skin care. Yes, there is such a thing,
with very mixed reviews in English. XEAU Monterrey still suspected but
no ID (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 1130, I am still trying to ID the Spanish here, which has
seemed like it must be the newly activated XECHAP, Chapingo, EdoMex,
educational station in the new IRCA Mexican Log as Radio Chapingo,
10/5 kW, ex-1610 XEUACH, projected to start 10/4/2019.
