** AUSTRALIA. RA has changed its transmission schedule, apparently due to silly ballgames. Jan 16 at 0617, 9580 was already on much earlier than usual *0800 with cricket and tennis coverage intermixed (unless 6-love has something to do with wickets). Then at 1412, I found 5995 with Australian Open Tennis, apparently live even tho it was after 1 am local time. Maybe they are playing late at nite to avoid the heatwave. A bit earlier on the news at 1403 it was reported that there was a major power failure in Victoria and use of air-conditioners might have to be restricted (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GABON. Afropop music distraxion was on 17665 Jan 16 at 1458, G until 1530:30* Similar signal from ANU on 17630; also at 1500, 19160 harmonic, 2 x 9580, with news in French at S9 +10 level, but undermodulated (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** GUIANA FRENCH. Big DRM buzz on 21615-21620-21625 at 1500 Jan 16, which is temporary test this week from TDF toward NAm. Demonstrates how this band is going to waste; analog stations from SAm, or anybody relayed via GUF could be broadcasting successfully to NAm on it (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** INDONESIA. RRI Serui, 4605, presumed, Jan 16 at 1427 with song; best Indonesian on band, tho on 4870 there was a good carrier, but could detect no modulation (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** KOREA SOUTH [non]. KBS World Radio (they pronounce the name in English even during Spanish broadcast), 6045 via Sackville, Tue Jan 16 at 0628 was closing program ``hasta el próximo lunes``. Therefore they are running the previous day`s program on these broadcasts for Europe (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** MEXICO. XEYU is back after about 3 weeks of inactivity. Jan 16 at 0622 heard classical piano sonata on 9599.4, a dead giveaway it`s R. Universidad Nacional; no het at this time. Had not been heard at night in previous December tests; not to be outdone by XEXQ? Europeans should try for these now. Fair signal; not so good at next check 1424, discussion in Spanish re festivals; at 1530 piano concerto. Music does not match AM or FM schedules at http://www.radiounam.unam.mx/htm/programa.htm (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** MEXICO. XEXQ, 6045, presumed, Jan 16 at 0629 with Badinerie, in clear after KBS via Sackville went off; also just barely audible with piano at 1414 squeezed between FE stations (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ____________________________________________________________________________________ Finding fabulous fares is fun.
