Peru, 5939.25, Radio Melodia, (pres) 0949-1000, Noted a signal here of
steady Spanish comments. The actual signal was threshold and also being
interferred with from a Brazilian station on 5940 which was successfully
notched out. (Chuck Bolland, September 22, 2008)

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
** BRAZIL [non]. Not only is R. 9 de Julho blocked on 9820 by Cuba when Mesa
Redonda is on at variable times between 2200 and 2400, but note that RDPI,
Portugal is also scheduled on 9820 at 1900-2300. However, Brazilian Portuguese
sounds a lot different than Portuguese Portuguese. I heard some of that weakly
Sept 22 at 2204, and really nothing else on frequency, unless some fading could
be imagined to be a SAH from S?o Paulo. Why in the world would a new Brazilian
SW station choose to be on the same frequency as Portugal? (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CANADA. CBC Northern Qu?bec, 9625, Sept 22 at 2135 with native-accented
announcer in English giving detailed weather forecasts for many unrecognised
small communities, temps mostly in the single digits. 2139 a break for a song
about how to play poker, The Gambler? So are there casinos everywhere up there
now too and/or is CBC encouraging the First Nations to become gambling addicts?
2142 more weather for another northern region. This is the M-F 2130-2200
northern news block cutaway from CBC network programming (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake on 13625, Sept 22 at 2113. Per Aoki, target is R. Free Asia
in Chinese via Tinian at 17-22, which was inaudible (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. RHC still missing from 11800, tho it is still on their revised online
schedule at 20 Portuguese, 2030 Arabic, 21-22 Spanish; instead Sept 22 during
the 2100 UT hour heard only R. Bulgaria in Spanish, wrapping up at 2158, to
carrier off at 2200.5. I am still wondering if 11800 has been replaced by an
unknown channel or if these transmissions are simply gone. Also checked 13680
after 2200, and nothing there, despite on the schedule as in French. At that
time nothing on 11750 either, also supposed to be on in Spanish. The only RHC
Spanish frequencies audible at 2203 were 13760, poor and splashed by much
stronger Portugal on 13755; and 9550.
Looking for R. 9 de Julho, Brasil on 9820, I found RHC not on the air yet at
2204 Sept 22, instead Portugal audible weakly, but at 2230 recheck Habana was
on with big signal in Mesa Redonda, a TV simulcast, starting with a clip from
Dr. Fidel Castro Ruz, dictator emeritus (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ECUADOR. HCJB Spanish, 11960 at 1329:30 Sept 22 automated ID about Ecuador
being the third-largest exporter of flowers, and still claiming to be on 21455:
``11690, 21455, 11960`` altho the 13m frequency was dropped months ago per
HCJB`s own publicity at the time.
9745, Sept 22 at 2206 with music which at first seemed SE Asian, and afternoon
opening from over there certainly possible, screeching soprano with rustic
string instrument accompaniment. Could it be V. of Han, Taiwan? No, talk at
2211 certainly did not sound SE Asian, but more S American Indian. 2217 music
resumes, segu? at 2228 to a bit of more familiar Andean music and 2229 HCJB ID
with numbers pronounced in Spanish. This is just the Quechua service, 100 kW at
155 degrees, but rather weak and fluttery here as equatorial signals sometimes
are (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** EQUATORIAL GUINEA. After a month or so on the air almost every day, R.
Africa, 15190 missing again, Sept 22 at 2115 when no adjacent QRM. Believe it
was also absent Sept 21, and maybe 20. Tsk tsk, Tony Alamo, just raided for
alleged child porn and sexual abuse, had been a regular in the 2200 UT hour
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GERMANY [non]. After hearing DW English, VG on 15205 and 11865 via Rwanda,
also found it on 9735, Sept 22 at 2135, running a second behind with report on
fashion shoes. 9735 is Rampisham UK, 500 kW at 140 degrees, but this site does
a good job off the back of its antennas, while Rwanda reaches us off the front
beyond the W African target (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GUAM. 11850 with hymn, Sept 22 at 2121, then Japanese announcement, more
music, off abruptly at 2129*, no ID caught. Per Aoki, it`s KSDA, which should
have continued in English at 2130, but not noticed here (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDIA. AIR, 15050, Sinhala service better than usual just a sesquihour
before equinox, Sept 22 at 1402 nice vocal music with tabla and chimes,
modulation OK, some trans-polar flutter but better signal than an hour earlier.
1410 into talk, and modulation not so good. With BFO on, carrier wobbled
slightly but maybe due to Doppler effect rather than transmitter instability.
This is 174 degrees from Delhi/Kingsway, so could be longpath (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ROMANIA. RRI, 9790, Sept 22 at 2208 news in English about politics, Romanian
names mentioned, merits of unicameral vs bicameral parliament, fair aside
Sackville DRM 9795-9800-9805. 2210 ID as Radio Newsreel on Radio Romania
International (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SWEDEN [non]. As I previously reported, the 1300 broadcast in Swedish was
heard Sept 21 on 11640 instead of scheduled 15240, and it was again on 11640
Sept 22, 1327-1329* discussing fytbal. This led me to check at 1430, and sure
enough, 11640 Sackville relay came back on with English, also instead of 15240.
Unfortunately, I missed which frequency George Wood announced at the opening.
The CRI relays via Sackville are funxioning normally on 15260, 15220. So how is
the relay transmitter `broken` if it can run on 11640 without warning, instead
of 15240? O, as I type, at 1435, George said that the 1430 would be on 11640
instead of 15240 till further notice. And the R. Sweden English page now says:
``New Frequency --- Following a technical fault at one of Radio Canada
International?s transmitter antennas at Sackville, a new antenna has been set
up, but our transmissions are now on a new frequency. Instead of 15240 kHz, the
broadcast in English to North America at 1430 UT is now using 11640 kHz, in the
25 meter band. The change is expected to continue until our new shortwave
schedule at the end of October.`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. Tony Alamo Ministries, whose compound in Fouke, Arkansas, was raided
on suspicion of child porn and sexual abuse, is scheduled on WWCR M-F 1300-1400
on 15825. So at the next opportunity I tried to listen, Sept 22 at 1312. I
missed the opening so cannot be certain it was still Alamo; very poor reception
here in usual skipzone. No fire & brimstone here, just low-key talk at the
moment about tsunamis, earthquaxe. He`s on lots of other radio stations, but
apparently no TV ministry; at least I don`t find Alamo, searching TV schedules.
WWCR DGS service, 13845 is normally in the clear, tho usually weak in skip zone
here only one megameter away from Nashville, but Sept 22 at 2112 had QRM from
hi-speed RTTY on 13847. At 2202 recheck WWCR was weaker, starting to echo with
multipath or backscatter and RTTY was stronger (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 15515 with strong open carrier, Sept 22 at 1401-1405*. No
broadcaster is scheduled anywhere around this time, but suspect it is Guiana
French with test or error, as happened before, tho scheduled only at 1200-1230
in Spanish (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###
