WOR IO GROUP: Effective Feb 4, 2018, DXLD yg archive and members have been migrated to this group: https://groups.io/g/WOR [there was already an unrelated group at io named dxld!, so new name] From now on, the io group is primary, where all posts should go. One may apply for membership, subscribe via the above site. DXLD yahoogroup: remains in existence, and members are free to COPY same info to it, as backup, but no posts should go to it only. They may want to change delivery settings to no e-mail, and/or no digest. The change was necessary due to increasing outages, long delays in posts appearing, and search failures at the yg. Why wait for DXLD issues? A lot more info, not all of it appearing in DXLD later, is posted at our io group without delay. DX LISTENING DIGEST IN PDF, HTML VERSIONS Jacques Champagne in Ville-Marie, Québec, has developed programs to convert DXLD .txt into PDF and HTML versions for his own use, and now has made them available to the rest of us. Starting with 18-24, they have been posted as attachments to the WOR iog. And now also posted on our website. INTRODUXION to DXLD in HTML and PDF: http://www.worldofradio.com/DXLDformats.htm HTML and PDF versions converted by Jacques Champagne are now also posted shortly for open access: http://www.w4uvh.net/dxld1901.html http://www.w4uvh.net/dxld1901.pdf Thanks also to Jacques for assisting with formatting of .txt original dxld1901_plain 3 / 111 DX LISTENING DIGEST 19-01, January 1, 2019 COUNTRIES - ALASKA 10 Jan 2019 13:13:35 COUNTRIES ALASKA ** ALASKA. My Christmas present: Possible log of KICY-850?! Reviewing my Perseus recordings from Dec 17th, I found something very interesting. Shortly after 0700 UT, while KOA (which is barely audible on my SSE/NNW mini-BoG) was running ABC News, and XEMIA faded out, a station in English faded up. After some religious-sounding music, a man who sounded like a pastor spoke for about 20 seconds about the history of the song "Away in a Manger," then played the song. Looking at KICY's schedule, they would have been running "Songs in the Night" with Dr. Edwin Lutzer, which seems a good match for what I heard. I can't find an archive of this program, but I listened to some other recent broadcasts by Dr. Lutzer, and the voice seems pretty similar. I've sent an email to Moody Radio to see if they can confirm the program content. My antenna is aimed 161/341 degrees up and down the Pacific coast, so Nome is right on the beam. There's not much else this could be. I can't imagine the Tacoma station would air anything like this. I had a very similar tentative catch of KICY from Cambria, CA one year ago last week, with a similarly-oriented antenna. I'll have to make a few more Perseus recordings while conditions are quiet. I'm pretty sure. It's only 9 degrees off the beam of the antenna (332 degrees to Nome vs. antenna bearing of 341) and half of that is water path. Something like this: [image: image.png] KHHO is conservative talk and sports. They don't post a current schedule (the one on KJR's web site reflects their previous lineup). I should be able to eliminate them. I may send them a note via their web page. Hopefully Moody Radio will answer my inquiry. 73 and Merry Christmas (Tim Hall, Chula Vista CA (between San Diego and Tijuana), Sent from my BlackBerry 10 smartphone, Dec 25, ABDX via WORLD OF RADIO 1963, DXLD) I'm still in suspense waiting to hear from Moody Radio. I'll have to try again when conditions are better. They were horrible yesterday. 850 is a pretty wide open frequency when you have an antenna that almost totally nulls KOA. Apart from XEZF (which is still more or less a daytimer), the surviving stations out west are XEMIA (weak and likely moving to FM in the next 4-6 months), KHHO (never logged from anywhere except on good SRS/SSS days when they're still on day pattern) and good old non-directional KICY. If I can't resolve this current logging, I bet I'll eventually catch their Russian programming overnight. Unfortunately, a whole crew of ironworkers are walking all over my antenna every day as they repair and repaint the cheap iron bars on the wall behind the houses on our street. So far I don't think the antenna is broken, but I think the workmen will be trampling that wire for a few more weeks. 73 (Tim Hall, Chula Vista, Sent from my BlackBerry 10 smartphone, Dec 27, ABDX yg via WORLD OF RADIO 1963, DXLD) Later: he got it for sure, more reports next issue (gh) dxld1901_plain 4 / 111 DX LISTENING DIGEST 19-01, January 1, 2019 COUNTRIES - ANGOLA 10 Jan 2019 13:13:35 ANGOLA ** ANGOLA. 4949.752, Dec 26 at 0234, RNA is S4-S5, noisy but some mod audible. Checking this to compare with Madagascar, since there are NO Mozambiquans on SW (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) At 0200, Radio Nacional Angola is making a better showing on 4949.74 than it has in many months. Not great, but right at the threshold of readable and seemingly getting better as the hour goes on (Art Delibert, N.
