4940, Venezuela, R Amazonas, Pt Ayacucho. July-31 SS 2215 folk music, 2216 OM
and YL talks "...Amazonas...", sometimes sounding like ads (eloquent speech)
until 2229. Distorted audio, short pieces readable, 23322 (LOB-B).
5995, Bolivia, R Loyola, Sucre. July-31 SS 2240 OM talks "...novo
liberalismo...Evo Morales...la falta de trabajo...", 2244 seems to be an
interview, 2246 ads " Mercantil Santa Cruz...", 2247-2306 OM and YL talks. From
2248 significant signal deterioration with no return of some improvemnt,
partially readable, 33423(til 2248) (LOB-B).
4835, Peru, R Mara??n, Jaen. July-31 SS 2313-2332 OM sounding like ads
"...comercio...", 2319 maybe a local pop music, 2321 OM talks, seems
commentaries about local authorities, 2321 OM "La noticia, la noticia!..", male
outside, OM and YL talks. Poor, deteriorating, almost unreadable, 22422 (LOB-B).

** AUSTRALIA. RA closed 9580 two minutes earlier than usual at 1355 August 1,
cutting off ``All in the Mind`` show in progress, about genetic bases for
homosexuality. Continued on weaker 9590. RA fails to co?rdinate its programming
with its transmissions (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA [and non]. BBCWS, in English, 9740 via Singapore at 1238 [not 238 as
in DXLD 8-087] July 31 with co-channel QRM at about equal level in Chinese.
Aoki reminds us that PBS Sichuan 1 began using this frequency May 15 after the
quake, 24 hours a day. Are they still, or is this something else now? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** COLOMBIA. At 0045 July 31 on 5910 I heard only Marfil Est?reo with music and
ID as soon as I tuned in, no sign of R. Rep?blica as someone had reported. May
have had some residual DentroCuban jamming; also utility tones intermittently
as well as ``running water``. RR did use this frequency via Germany some months
ago (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [non]. At 2359 July 30 I reconfirmed that R. Rep?blica was making a
quick switch from 9515 to 9640, taking only a few seconds, but unco?rdinated,
interrupting programming in progress; both over jamming (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST) See also COLOMBIA
** CZECHIA [non]. R. Prague relay in English via WRMI, 9955, audible over/under
lite jamming at 0607 July 31 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. VOI presumed the het source just off 11785 way under Firedrake
and VOA Chinese via Thailand, July 31 around 1315, and nothing audible on 9526.
VOI sure knows how to ruin its chances of being heard anywhere. Same situation
August 1 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NEW ZEALAND. RNZI on the wrong frequency again: August 1 at 1330, no trace
of 6170, tho RA 6020 was in very well, and even CKZU 6160 was audible. So
checked 9655, supposed to close at 1300, and there were indeed two signals
instead of one, no doubt RNZI prolonged, mixing with RNW via Tinang, SAH of
about 6 Hz as usually heard before 1300 when IBB is already warming up 9655 and
colliding with RNZI. 1357 check, still two signals on 9655, but RNW soon off.
Always with heavy sidesplash from Sackville 9650. That took a brief break at
1359, allowing NZ-ish music alone to be heard on 9655, 1400 timesignal and news
in English, could not catch ID but NZ accent and surely RNZI continued on wrong
frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. Cut numbers in MCW, extremely strong, centered on 5800, July 31
at 0602, but with continuous whine/squeal too, and bleeding all the way from
5775 to 5825, surely Cuba.
More cut numbers in Morse, surely Cuban spy station, August 1 at 1325 on
8096.5. It was hard to pin down the center frequency since the tones were 1
kHz. Altho the carrier did not go completely off between dits and dahs, the
S-meter fluxuated (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

Moldova, 6040, Radio Nederland, 2130-2200, This schedule is active
from 2100. Noted a number of males talking in Dutch. At 2145, music
presented. Noted a parallel signal on 15315 KHz but very delayed. I got
two different transmitter sites for this broadcast. The EIBI says
Moldova which I like, the WRTH says Grigoriopol, Moldova too while the
Passport says "various locations". The signal was fair on 6 MHz.
(Chuck Bolland, August 1, 2008)
Sweden, 6065, Radio Sweden, 2155-2200* Just catching the last
portion of the English schedule with lots of "Radio Sweden" mentioned
in the English comments by a male. Signal was fair as music closes
the schedule. (Chuck Bolland, August 1, 2008)

** U S A. WRNO back on the air testing with variety of music, on 7505, from
tune-in 2132 UT August 1 during ``Crazy`` by Patsy Cline. VG S9+22 signal.
Modulation quality generally good but with some clicks and pops, occasionally
cutting to low-level. 2150 started Beatles` ``Come Together`` but cut off after
opening. 2152 Celtic song. Pauses of one or two minutes between music cuts.
2200 the first ID I have heard, nor have I seen any reported before this,
apparently by engineer at transmitter site rather than from studio, clicking on
mike and with some feedback:
``This is WRNO, transmitting on 7 dot 505 megacycles``.
17 kb clip of this only at http://www.w4uvh.net/wrnoid1.rm
Back to more music cuts, ``Solitary Man``, sounds like Roy Orbison, piano
solos, Bertie Wooster theme, 2218 big band, New Orleans swing music, pause at
2239, a bit of feedback as mike apparently turned on again. Then just before
2241 another ID, same text as above, but sounds like another live announcement,
another long pause, 2243 music resumed, etc. (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

After that I left a radio on but was not paying very close attention. Open
carrier ran from 2250 to 2300, no ID, 2301 Celtic fiddle music, more open
carrier. 2312 Bertie Wooster theme again, carrier off at 2320:40*. Back on
shortly, open carrier off and on. 2359 another ID this time mentioning New
Orleans, Louisiana, United States of America, various music, off again at 0020*
August 2; mostly off until 0100, full ID and piano rendition of What a Friend
We Have in Jesus, 0114 some preaching. After 0145 some classical music; 0158
``Summertime``, then more preaching.
Now seems to be in regular programming? 0211 speaker mentioned owner Robert
Mawire in connexion with The End Times --- here we go again! and plugging a
book or DVD of his, Fort Worth address; more music, still going at 0230, YL ID
with frequency, ``transmitter site in New Orleans, Louisiana``. Music audio was
dropping out, during Mendelssohn`s Midsummer Night`s Dream, so still needs some
work. If they get their act together and play full pieces of classical music
without interruption for proselytizing I will be very pleasantly surprised
