China, 11635, China Radio International, 1030-1056, At 1030, hoping to hear
Taiwan on this freq, instead there was CRI broadcasting in English. I
suppose their (CRI's) intention is to block Taiwan? Anyway, noted news, and
comments along with imitation Western Style music.Although CRI was
dominating the freq, at about 1047, I could hear Taiwan fading in under
CRI's signal. At 1055 full ID and schedule before signing off. CRI was
fair. (Chuck Bolland, May 8, 2008)
Taiwan, 11635, Radio Taiwan International, (pres) 1048-1100, With a very
weak signal, noted a female in Chinese language comments under CRI's
stronger signal on the same frequency, as RTI continued to fade in. After
CRI goes off, RTI audible slightly but too weak to copy much more than
already mentioned. RTI off at 1100 too. (Chuck Bolland, May 8, 2008)

** CHINA [and non]. May 7 before 1300 I noticed Firedrake making it thru
somewhere around 15450, but did not pin it down; rechecked after 1300 it was
gone.
But this prompted me to do a full bandscan to find as many FDs as possible,
between 1306 and 1320. Here I`ll put them in reverse order, not the order
found, nor am I going to try to research all their targets, but most of them
are regulars, against VOA, RFA, BBC, Taiwan or Sound of Hope:
12040 11900 11785 11665 9845 9780 9680 9605 7445 7310 7105 6110 6095 6085 6030
That`s a total of 15. At 1342 also heard on 15285. At 1433 also on 9930, 9450.
Some of them were alone as far as I could tell, others mixing in various
proportions with stations in Chinese. Checked several Firedrakes on two
receivers, and they were always // synchronized (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** GERMANY [non]. DW Russian via Rampisham UK, 15420, May 7 at 1429, good
signal in CNAm and still no place for WBCQ to be; this hour and more via UAE at
15-17 are still scheduled by DW to continue, unlike their Arabic after 1700,
moving to 15445 from May 10. WBCQ plans to try 15420 again from May 12, but not
clear during what hours (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PHILIPPINES. Lao-like language, May 8 at 1308 on 9625 with a low het, no
doubt 70 Hz from off-frequency CBC. Close: per listings this is White Hmong
from FEBC, Manila. More transmissions from here: see TIBET [non] (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SOUTH AFRICA. 15325, Wed May 7 at 1341-1341:30* alternating hi and lo tones
every 6 seconds, which is the SENTECH Meyerton test/fill feed, with the
transmitter apparently left on an extra 11 minutes after the conclusion of
SSIRI scheduled at 1300-1330 M/W/F (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SPAIN [non]. REE Co-Official Language block was a bit off-timed, May 7, tho
I did not tune in 15170 Costa Rica soon enough to hear how and when it started.
1249-1253 Gallego, 1253-1258 Basque but really in Castilian. There is some
question whether the missing Catalan was supposed to be before these or after
these, and whether the block is really supposed to air at 1240-1255 or
1245-1300.
One more check of the Co-Official [read: token] Languages segment on REE, Thu
May 8 on 15170 via CR. Tuned in at 1241 and found Catalan underway, so did
start at 1240; at 1245 to Galician, and 1250 Basque but really in Castilian,
1255 music fill. So that appears to be the real schedule; now if only they can
get the Basque language itself back into the mix (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** TIBET [non]. 11605, May 8 at 1258 with synthesized Asian music, 1300 ID in
English as R. Free Asia, and into Tibetan service. Listened until 1303 but no
sign of any jamming! SINPO 35443. Per Aoki this is Tinian at 309 degrees and it
is certainly jammed, just not audible here, as higher-latitude paths were not
propagating so well. BTW, at 1200-1229 it`s the Amdo dialect of Tibetan,
1229-1300 the Khams dialect, and 1300-1400 regular Tibetan. I wonder if the
English IDs go into such details?
A station on 9890 with a solo vocalist accompanied by a rustic plucked
instrument, May 8 at 1305 per Aoki also turns out to be Khams Tibetan from FEBC
Bocaue, Philippines, 100 kW at 305 degrees, and not jammed.
On 31m the jammers had a better chance, but VOA Mandarin via Philippines on
9845 was still well over Firedrake at 1306; also at 1354 with [EMAIL PROTECTED]
address. And VOA English from Philippines, 9760 at 1315 was VG, much better
than heard in a long time (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. With a little help from the sporadic E layer, Defunct Gene Scott was
quite strong on WWCR 13845, May 7 at 1339, and one could clearly hear in the
background The Power Hour from 7465, mixing at the transmitter site. (Is it
caused by antenna proximity, transmitter proximity, or even in the studio audio
consoles? Or some combination?)
In fact if DGS would pause for breath, one could easily understand the other
program. However, when I went to 7465 itself, I could not hear any other audio
mixing. As for the Es, at that time 15825 was still weak, but by 1430 recheck,
it was very good as the MUF had risen. Still did not find any skip on VHF 54
MHz+ later this day (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ZAMBIA [and non]. May 8 at 1252, two stations mixing with SAH on 13590, not
just 1Africa, CVC. According to EiBi there are two others stations at this time
besides CVC: DW in French to NAf via Portugal, and VOR in Mandarin to FE via
Novosibirsk. The two I was hearing most likely Portugal and Zambia (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###
