** BOTSWANA. Shortly after posting my last logs, under USA [non], the likely
explanation for VOA appearing on 15570 instead of 15580 at 21-22 UT Dec 26
occurred to me: because 15580 is used right up until 2100 by another site
(Bonaire), Botswana tunes up before 2100 on 15570 instead, and simply stayed on
it that day instead of switching to proper 15580. Such off-channel tuning up is
common practice at IBB, tho not always avoiding open carriers/tones mixing with
other stations or IBB Sites. Likely will be back on 15580 today Dec 27 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake Dec 27, circa 1435 UT: none found, 7-19 MHz (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA [and non]. 6055, Dec 27 at 1414, R. Nikkei, JAPAN, has about
equal-level co-channel QRM I had never noticed before, in Cambodian, still same
past 1430. HFCC shows it`s CRI Khmer service at 14-15, 100 kW, 200 degrees from
NNN = Nanning. Perhaps propagation from there was unusually favorable today.
Other Japan signals were also weakish, such as 5985 and 6190 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GREECE. 15630, Dec 27 at 1548, VOG with Greek music, good signal. Probably
just came on, earlier than nominal *1600 in the curtailed 12-hour broadcast day
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KOREA NORTH [non]. 6135, Shiokaze is missing for the first day, Dec 27 at
1358 and later, so I search elsewhere on 49m for it. 5985 must be the
new/reactivated frequency from JSR Tokyo/Yamata, poor signal making het with
off-frequency Myanmar at 1404, altho it doesn`t sound like the usual Shiokaze
with sad piano music. Instead there is violin with piano music in the
background of talk, in Japanese or Korean? None of the usual Shiokaze stingers
either. 1423 still same, 1427 ID in Japanese, and still not the usual music,
off after 1430 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KOREA SOUTH [and non]. 6003, Dec 27 at 1401, bit of William Tell Overture,
but then no Al Weiner, just Korean talk by YL, from Echo of Hope, well atop the
continuous grind noise of Juche jamming. Also audible on 6348 but not so well
vs jamming, which Aoki says is 250 kW vs 100 kW from EOH on both. V of the
People modulation could also be heard vs jamming on 6518, 6600 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MAURITANIA. 7245, Dec 27, IGIM still not on at 0637 or 0656 chex (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENIG DIGEST)
** PHILIPPINES. 9760, Dec 27 at 1539, VOA Spe-cial Eng-lish news is quite
undermodulated with hum from the ailing Tinang-2 transmitter; tho at least as
strong as BBC Singapore on 9740, much softer sounding (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** ROMANIA. 7310, Dec 27 at 0638, RRI with `Pro Memoria` feature on the
Romanization of Dacia, how the Latin language was leading to Romanian, like it
overtook the Celtic dialect in Gaul. Just as this was getting deeper into the
subject, it was over, 0642 on to `Song of the Day`. I had heard the same talk
earlier Dec 26 after 2230 on 9435. 7310 is the biggest signal from Europe at
0630, loud & clear (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** RUSSIA. 7205, Dec 27 at 1502, poor signal sounds like Persian, 1507
Russian-sounding music, so VOR Persian service, at 15-16, 200 kW, 147 degrees
from Petrograd/Popovka. Aoki shows Eritrea and CNR13 = PBS Xinjiang from Urumqi
in Uyghur are also on 7205 at this time (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TAIWAN [non]. [cf. previous report starting under USA: WWCR]
I have checked out the other scheduled RTI Spanish broadcast via WYFR, 02-03 on
9355, Dec 27 at 0213 & 0245: JBA carrier, can`t tell what it is; would expect
WYFR to have a better signal than that, but nothing else is scheduled. On this
transmission there is an RTI // on 11995 via GUIANA FRENCH: that is certainly
on the air, but unmodulated carrier, both at 0213 and 0245 Dec 27. Also
reconfirmed at 0430 that instead of Spanish at 04-05, 6890 via WYFR is still in
Chinese // 6875. Would Europeans please check the 20-21 UT broadcast on 3965
via FRANCE ? is it really RTI in Spanish?
Dan Elyea of WYFR writes Dec 27: ``Hello, Glenn, I'm retiring from the
Secretary-Treasurer position with NASB; still working fulltime with FR, though
I'm well past "normal" retirement age.
The meltdown is being sorted out, piece-by-piece. Mysteriously, the issues
saturate the system from stem-to-stern. Progress is being made, but there still
remain problems to be resolved.
The RTI program feed has multiple users -- it's not tailored just for WYFR
release times; normally, there is a system of automated recordings for later
automated playback in the proper timeslot. 73.
Dan`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 15809.4 & 15840.6, Dec 27 at 1539, WWCR-1 spurs from 15825 are still
detectable with BFO, but way down compared to the bigsig on 15825, which is not
splattering over half the 19m band (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BOTSWANA. 15570, Dec 27 at *2058, my tune-up theory is confirmed, as I was
waiting for VOA on both 15570 and 15580. The lower came on with carrier at
2058, by 2059 VOA Bonaire was off 15580, but 15570 Botswana did not cut to
15580 until a few notes of the VOA opening had played on 15570 at 2100. Well,
that`s quite an improvement over staying on 15570 the whole hour like yesterday
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Re previous report of REE IS on 7220 at 1358-1400: I meant to add
that the intentional REE relay via China is on 11910 at 12-14, sometimes
audible here too (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GREECE. 7450, Dec 27 at 2041, good with sacred choral music, sounds like
Monteverdi; 2047 Greek announcement and more modern classical music, 2100 Greek
news. Is ERT3 Macedonian service; checked 9420 which would not be //, but main
VOG channel not audible there (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** IRAN [non]. 9965, Dec 27 at 2015, rather traditional ME music, so did not
think at first it would be R. Farda, but so IDed at 2025 and more of same, not
the usual Persian/American pop. Maybe just an aberration. Quite a good signal,
from the other worldside, 250 kW, 332 degrees USward from Iranawila, SRI LANKA
at 1900-2130 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KUWAIT. 15540, no sign for weeks of R. Kuwait here for the 18-21 UT English
broadcast, again checked at 1830 Dec 27. I suppose it is still on the air, and
they just don`t care or understand that it`s not propagating in the dead of
winter. Can it be detected in Europe? Also check 11990, the long-announced
imaginary ex-frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. Re my previous report of not hearing XEOI, Juli?n Santiago D?ez de
Bonilla, DF, replies: ``Radio Mil onda corta 6010 kHz est? al aire y con su
misma potencia nominal de 1 kW``. Current scheduling in Aoki of the big QRMers
Cuba, Iran, RFA, indicates best windows for R. Mil should be 0000-0030,
0330-0500, 0700-0900. Except Colombia is also on 24 hours (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** SAUDI ARABIA. 9675, Dec 27 at 1845 and 2045, talk in language hard to place,
not sharp modulation, with reverb, but listed as BSKSA Turkish service, 500 kW,
340 degrees USward from Riyadh (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TAIWAN [non]. 9355, Dec 28 at 0245-0250, confirmed that zero percent of the
four scheduled Spanish hours of RTI are going out via WYFR. This one is in RTI
English // 9680 and 5950, which are supposed to be the only two frequencies for
it at this hour; makes up, I guess for no English at 0500 on 6875, Chinese
instead. Unlike last night, the 9355 signal is sufficient, and the // 11995 via
Guiana French is missing instead of open carrier all hour. That leaves one
possible RTI Spanish broadcast on SW anywhere, 20-21 on 3965 via Issoudun,
FRANCE. I`m still waiting for anyone in Europe to confirm whether it exist.
Chances are not good for inpulling it here, but I may have to attempt it.
Unless, of course, totally SNAFU, RTI is sending out Spanish at some times
scheduled for even other languages (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 5050, confirming WWRB is no longer heard here, 0245 check Dec 28,
just on 3195 for the non-BS programming, including WORLD OF RADIO, UT Fridays
0430+ (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
