*RCI tries to muzzle 28-year staff member Wojtek Gwiazda, who is union

*Radio El Salvador International, 5992, existed briefly in late 1983,

Bolivia, 4699.32, Radio San Miguel, 1015-1030 Noted Spanish Comments from a
male
during period with ID as "Radio San Miguel", mentioned often. When not
talking, music
is presented. Signal comes up slightly to a fair level at 1024 UTC, but
generally it's poor.
(Chuck Bolland, February 23, 2008)
Bolivia, 4716.51, Radio Yura, 1025-1035 At tune-in noted traditional local
music. The
music had a lot of flutes playing. It was so mundane that I thought at
times the music could be a weird signal causing QRM. Every once in awhile a
fellow would give out a yell. That
made the difference it seemed. The signal was poor. (Chuck Bolland,
February 23, 2008)
China, 4460, China National Radio One, (pres) 1035-1045 Noted males and
female in
Chinese(?) languages comments. Signal was poor and difficult to copy. Thus
not sure
which language except it was Asian. (Chuck Bolland, February 23, 2008)
Peru, 3375, Radio San Antonio, (tentative)1043-1100 Noted a male in Spanish
comments between music selections. Long comments at 1055 with a female.
Audio was very muffled making difficult listening. Music at 1058 again.
Signal was poor. (Chuck Bolland, February 23, 2008)
Peru, 4826.48, Radio Sicuani, 1105-1120 At first with a male in steady
Spanish comments.
This station is always covered with interference from CODAR, the Brazilian
that is here and just noise. To get some details from this weak signal the
following settings were needed on
the NRD545: Noise Reduction, Notch, LSB Narrow, PBS +70 KHz. The ECSS was
tried, but the above settings resulted in the better signal intelligence.
Overall the signal was
poor. (Chuck Bolland, February 23, 2008)
Peru, 4834.93, Radio Maranon, 1116-1130 In here with music. At 1117 canned
promos and ADs which included an ID at 1120 as, "Radio Maranon..." Signal
was fair this morning.

Sounds like the stations should be using a delay system on talk back so that
abusive comments can be prevented from going to air.

** CUBA. The DentroCuban Jamming Command continues to pollute the bands with
totally unnecessary jamming. Dirty noise pulses at the rate of exactly two per
second have been noted on frequencies which at completely different but limited
hours are used by Radios Rep?blica and Mart?. Perhaps the DCJC in its paranoia
thinx that with the self-demotion of Fidel from CEJ to a mere Comrade, and the
fueracubans` stepped-up salivation for The End of Communism, such stations are
liable to expand their broadcasts on known frequencies. Unlikely, I say, as
they are locked into well-established schedules, but if they do, jamming could
be quickly expanded to match. Until then, leave the poor frequencies and their
other innocent occupants and neighbors alone! Specifically, UT Feb 23, the
2/second noise pulses as monitored [along with the real times that opposition
stations are on]:
At 0712 on 6100, very strong [RR was reported back here in DXLD 8-024 by Ron
Howard in the 0300 UT hour, but Feb 24 at 0225 check I find it still on 6185,
nothing on 6100; they are now switching from 6185 to 6100 at 0300; announcement
heard at 0259 Feb 24 on 6185, said at 9 pm (really 10 pm EST!) they were moving
from 6185 to 6100, and so they did after a break of 10 or 12 seconds. I guess
this means 6185 is in use by RR only at 0200-0300, ruining XEPPM one hour less]
At 0713 on 7365, weaker, unseems exactly synchronized with 6100, but hard to
tell with this kind of programming [0000-0400 RM]
At 0721 on 6155, same but weaker, vs Austria, and bothering CBC on 6160
[0000-0200 RR]
At 0730 on 9825; still/again at 1431 check [0000-0300 RM]
At 1417 on 6030 [2200-1200 RM]
You might think that these noise pulses of two per second are not like the
heavy Cuban jamming normally heard on RM, RR and WRMI frequencies. But the
frequency matchups cannot be coincidental. I think this is because we are only
hearing a single transmitter rather than the usual multiple overlapping
transmitters to form a `noise wall` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MAURITANIA. 4845 on the air again Feb 23 at 0709 check in Arabic talk, low
modulation level (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NETHERLANDS [non]. We were wondering whether RN is really running two DRM
transmitters at once now from Bonaire, as in the DRM DX schedule, for Sat/Sun
1700-1857 UT: Yes, Sat Feb 23 at 1745 there was 17600-17605-17610 to NAm, and
barely audible 17695-17700-17705 to SAm.
At 1850, 15310-15315-15320 to NAm quite strong and 17600-17605-17610 to SAm.
First hour in Spanish, second in English.
BTW, the 17605 at 1700 in Spanish is explicitly for Brasil, a slight mismatch
in target and language. Are there any other Spanish broadcasts to Brasil in
particular? You might say, ``close enough``, but RN does have a Portuguese
sexion which has not been on SW for years and Brazilians should not be expected
to settle for Spanish; this would seem to be the time to bring back RN
Portuguese on SW, at least these two hours a week. BTW2, it seems the
manufacturer, source of these two new DRM-capable transmitters is still
confidential; why? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. In X-band scan around 2245 UT Feb 23, 1700 kHz bore ``We Will Rock
You,`` constantly. Per Doc Tom Gruis on several MW lists, this is KBGG Des
Moines, stunting in preparation for a new format. Clearly its run as a great
Spanish station has become domitable (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** VATICAN [non]. Attention, those compiling lists of broadcasts in English:
Vatican Radio has a very brief one of about 3 minutes at 2311-2314 UT, heard
several times on 9600, such as again Feb 23 from abrupt *2311 until IS at 2314,
and into Vietnamese at 2315.
VG signal in CNAm, overriding XEYU`s classical music on 9599.3, which remains
only as a het. It`s hard to believe VR has this on the correct antenna 72
degrees towards Vietnam instead of toward North America. Fortunately, VR is
finished by 2400, but then XEYU has Cuba to contend with.
English topic today was ``Christian archaeology`` presented with an American
accent. But there is no English broadcast on the VR schedule at this time on
any frequency --- except in DRM to NAm on 7365-7370-7375, supposedly lasting a
half-hour per DRM DX, or a half-sesquihour, per EiBi, not a quarter-hour. It
always comes up on 9600 for three minutes until saying goodbye at 2314; very
sloppy switching at SMG.
Maybe on the program feed line for the Asian service they stick in an English
broadcast, just to keep the circuit occupied, and/or on the satellite, between
the end of Mandarin at 2245 (?) and the start of Vietnamese? Both are // 7300,
but transmitter sites change in the meantime: Mandarin from 2200 on 9600
Khabarovsk and 7300 SMG; Vietnamese 2315 on 9600 SMG and 7300 Novosibirsk
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** WESTERN SAHARA [non]. La Voz de la Rep?blica ?rabe Saharahui Democr?tica,
Polisario clandestine via Tindouf, Algeria, 6300, best heard in some time, Feb
23 at 0715 with emphatic Arabic speech mentioning Allah and shariya; more
pleasant in hauntingly beautiful music at 0738 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. Surprised to hear NHK ID and French and then off the air at 0725
Feb 23; I think it was 6195 but could have been 6190. Not scheduled there,
altho as from January, Bonaire relays NHK on 6195 at 0400-0430 and 0500-0530 in
Spanish, per Aoki. 6195 is supposed to be center frequency for BBCWS DRM via
Norway now at 0500-0800. Mode and source switching error maybe at Kvits?y?
