** ALBANIA. R. Tirana, 13750, putting in a good 20 over 9 signal on August 15
as I tuned in to end of broadcast at 1326 with music; unfortunately, modulation
was distorted and even cutting out every few seconds (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
Solar-terrestrial indices for 14 August follow. Solar flux 69 and mid-latitude
A-index 4. The mid-latitude K-index at 1200 UTC on 15 August was 2 (12 nT). No
space weather storms were observed for the past 24 hours. No space weather
storms are expected for the next 24 hours (SEC via DXLD)
** BULGARIA. R. Bulgaria, 15700, often heard with enjoyable folk music around
1300-1400 in Bulgarian language program. Here is a page about folk music, with
audio file linx:
http://www.bnr.bg/RadioBulgaria/Emission_Bulgarian/Theme_Muzika/Material/Turnovo_X_folkfest.htm
Here are some of R. Bulgaria`s program schedule pages, apparently updated for
A-07, tho without specific times within bi-, uni- or semi-hour broadcasts:
http://www.bnr.bg/RadioBulgaria/Emission_English/scheme.htm
http://www.bnr.bg/RadioBulgaria/Emission_Spanish/scheme.htm
http://www.bnr.bg/RadioBulgaria/Emission_Bulgarian/scheme.htm
Regarding the folk or choral music I often hear on 15700 after 1330, this is a
2-hour broadcast starting in summer at 1200, altho for M-F it is labeled with
one asterisk which means half an hour! Here are some musicky titles at the end
of the broadcast:
Thu Kulturna Panorama
Sat Sherenata Cherga, Musikalen Kompas
Some other titles may have to do with music, but my Bulgarian is rather
limited, and Google`s even more so as I tried treating it as Russian for
translation, but this usually results in nothing more than transliteration
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GABON. Moyabi on 16m signals have improved; Aug 18 after 1400, 17660 Afropop
music distraxion was quite listenable with usual fare, as was AN1 on 17630. So
I checked for the harmonic 19160 = 2 x 9580, but the MUF is not quite up to
that yet, assuming it is still radiating at the previous level, but bears
further checking, including later in the day as previously heard even well into
the local night after 2100 or 2200 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** LAOS [non] Despite what the Hmong Lao Radio office in Minnesota told me
recently that HLR was off SW for good, there it was again on 11785, Saturday
August 18 on 11785 via WHRI, usual very strong signal aimed usward from SC, but
FE QRM still audible underneath. Hmong talk, and a bit of rustic music before
closing. Presumably back on previous sked of Sat & Sun only, 13-14 on 11785.
Checking website, http://www.h-lr.com/ found nothing in English about status of
broadcasts, nor on linked different site for HLR, http://www.hmonglradio.com/
which BTW has a quotation from the Judeo-Christian Bible atop, so apparently
this group has also alienated itself from main Lao culture religiously. There
are also links to many other Hmong broadcasts/stations on both pages, some
overtly Christian.
The debate forum linked,
http://www.topix.net/forum/world/laos/TCCP77O4IRQGF2DAT/p10#lastPost at the
moment has 2410 posts on 121 pages, mostly in English, and mostly squabbling
among different Hmong/Lao faxions about Vang Pao, for whom HLR is trying to
raise defense fund money (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. XEYU, 9599+, Aug 14 at 1411 with ID an feature about Barenboim in
Salzburg; fairly good signal (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U K [non]. BBCWS successfully sabotages itself so N Americans won`t listen
to it on SW. 13640 via WHRI, Aug 16 at 2159 had a heavy SAH of about 6 Hz ---
what station was about to open co-channel in the middle of the 2-hour BBC
transmission? CRI, in Japanese! Tho much further from here, CRI from Jinhua
site, 28N07, 119E39, at 59 degrees toward Japan axually aims more at us in CNAm
than BBCWS does via SC at 173 degrees (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LI STENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. Re my Aug 17 report posted separately on the extremely distorted
FE signal varying around 11895 --- rechecked Aug 18 at 1354 but did not find it
or anything like it nearby, distorted or not. Harold Camping drone was weak but
clear on 11895 Irkutsk. There was a carrier on 11915, Taiwan? aside very strong
WYFR 11910, with 11915 going off at 1359:00, a semi-minute later than the
mystery blob the day before. Steve Lare, MI, and Wolfgang B?schel, Germany,
also looked for it Aug 18; unheard (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

LATVIA 9290 Not a peep from any of the relays here this morning in the
0655-0802 time frame. Then again I may not have had the antenna tuned
exactly either!! (Valko 18 August)
PAPUA NEW GUINEA 3334.97 R. East Sepik 1014-1033 ?Baby When You Talk
to Me? by The Outfield, then live M anncr w/song anmnt, short canned ad bhy
W along w/same live M mentioning 5 o?oclock and PNG, then back to mx
w/pleasant island Pop song, 1020 M anncr again w/song anmnts, and cont. mx
w/?More Than a Feeling? by Boston. Has drifted down from the usual 3335
since the last time I?ve hrd it. Best PNG on 90 meters. Also noted the
120 mb Aussies doing well, 2850 N. Korea, and a signal from pres. RRI
Gorontalo on 3266.44. (Valko 18 August 2007)
INDONESIA 3987.06 RRI Manokwari (pres.) 1036-1103 Nonstop Indo Pops
amid Ham QRM. Finally deep-voiced M anncr came on at 1059 but was covered
almost immediately by Ham. What sounded like a stn signature melody
followed, then M anncr again, but Hams made it impossible to
copy. Different M anncr after 1100, pres. nx. Indos doing pretty well for
a middle of August morning. Fading though. (Valko 18 August)
USA (ALASKA) 7370 KNLS While looking for Wantok R. Light, found OC
here around 1033. Noted OC all the way to the ToH. Came back at 1102 and
found 2 stns at equal lvl. VOA in SP and KNLS playing soft Rel. vcl song
sounding very much like Meatloaf!! Got KNLS ID call at 1106 after
song. KNLS would be decent without the VOA QRM. Tnx Glenn Hauser
tip. (Valko 18 August)
JAPAN 9695 R.J. Weak in EG at 1115 w/feature by M. Many ments of Japan
and Tokyo and what sounded like ??a Samurai first in?.?. Different pgm
segment at 1117 w/conversation by anncrs. Another co-channel stn was
taking over for a time while this faded a bit. Also had a carrier on
9694.96 which may have been Brazil. (Valko 18 August)
NEW ZEALAND 9655 R.N.Z. National Svc 1123 ?Alright Now? by Free, 1024
M anncr w/song anmnt, ID, then song anmnt and another song from 1975. 1127
brief song anmnt, and into ?I Never Promised You a Rose Garden?. More of
