** AUSTRALIA [and non]. 17750, RA at 0510 May 28 starting what was admitted by
Roger Broadbent to be a repeat of ``The World Today``.
Where have I heard that title before?? O yeah, on the BBCWS, which as it
happens was also running its own TWT at the very same time, as IDed at 0514 on
9410 with good signal. Maybe RA should come up with a less duplicative title?
RA program guide claims TWT airs only at 0210 UT Mon-Fri:
http://www.radioaustralia.net.au/programguide/158.htm
At 0510 is supposed to be Pacific Beat ? Afternoon Edition.
Of note was the fact that there was some co-channel QRM underneath, not noticed
previously. Aoki promptly reveals it`s VOA Kurdish via Madagascar, 250 kW at
359 degrees, 05-06 only; while RA is on 17750 at 2330-0700, 100 kW, 329 degrees
from Shepparton, which means there should also be a collision in Kurdistan.
Another frequency management failure (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake May 28; propagation quite poor, so only:
14700, at 1255 very poor with flutter; unheard at 1322.
No other FD frequencies audible 8-19 MHz in two scans before and after 1300
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** COSTA RICA. 15170, REE relay, May 28 at 1255 still crackling on fundamental
and exporting modulation spikes some 100 kHz above and below, but not as bad as
yesterday. At least 15170 itself was not a total loss. Next check at 1327 had
improved more, splattering only plus/minus 30 kHz. Severity no doubt depends on
the received strength of the fundamental at any moment, as well as transmitter
output (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. RHC spurs from 15360, May 28: not so bad, but probably due to poor
propagation, weaker fundamental than usual. At 1326, RHC audio also audible
around 15323 and 15397 (plus and minus 37 kHz). Did not attempt to split kHz
measurements (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NETHERLANDS [non]. RN asked for North American reports on 6165 at 0459-0527
in Dutch May 28, when French Guiana was substituting for Bonaire one night
only. At 0522, still a very good signal, but with some hum, and the audio a bit
degraded as if it were an internet feed at inadequate bit rate. Also bothered
by distortion caused by selective fading. But I am not sure if this is any
worse than we normally get from Bonaire, with which we are supposed to compare
this 24 hours later.
There are millions of times more English speakers than Dutch speakers in North
America, so we normally don`t pay much attention to the Dutch, except wait for
it to go off so we can hear Chad.
Another substitution was at 0059-0127 May 28 on 6190, but I missed checking
that. Andy Sennitt`s message said Sackville and Montsinery were the alternate
sites, altho he did not explicitly say which was which; assuming they were
mentioned in respective order (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** POLAND [non]. 11675, PRES via AUSTRIA in English 12-13 is usually
inaudible/unreadable here in summer, but there it was poor-fair May 28 at 1240,
W&W interview, about race cars? Hard to tell apart the two voices. 1245 to rock
music; 1257 retune but already in musical postlude and shortly off. 24 hours
earlier on Thursday we might have heard the DX/Mailbag show Multi-Touch if it
still exist (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. VOA is still filling the 1400-1430 English transmission to
Africa via Greenville on 17585 with Music Mix, Friday May 28 at 1409 IDing next
song as ``Nothing on You``, rap from atop the UK music chart. What is the point
of this??? Like gospel huxters such as CVC, does VOA think it is roping in
youngsters who would not otherwise listen, and thus get them to hear news on
the hour rather than tuning away?
Not // VOA Philippines on 9760 which had news, but that`s for Asia, and
Africans must not be allowed to hear it. As noted last weekend, 17585 does go
back to news instead of Music Mix on Saturday and Sunday (I think; it`s not
always audible.)
VOA was previously notified by Dragan Lekic about this `wrong` feed airing on
Greenville and other sites, but it now appears to be intentional. At 1414 found
same Music Mix on 12080 but out of synch with 17585, presumably S?o Tom?; and
12080 was earlier again heard in the unscheduled 1200 hour with news from
unknown site (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

Maurits.......this one (via EiBi list) is known to operate off frequency.
Could it be your classical music station?

New NASB Shortwave Listener Survey, is now online. The purpose of the
survey is to gather demographic and other information about shortwave
listeners in North America and around the world. Questions deal with
listener preferences regarding shortwave stations, programming, receivers,
DRM and much more. The NASB is requesting and encouraging all shortwave
publications and websites to place a link to the survey, which will be
online until May of 2011. The survey results will be announced to the
public at the 2011 NASB annual meeting.
The URL for links to the survey is: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/6LRVLJ7
