Bolivia, 6134.78, Radio Santa Cruz, 0935-0945 Noted a male in news until
0938, then canned promos and ID. At 0940 noted a clear ID as "...Radio
Santa Cruz ...". ADs and promos continue. Signal was excellent at this
time - 0942 UTC. (Chuck Bolland, October 28, 2008)
Russia, 6075, Radio Rossii, 1000-1010, Prior to the hour, this station was
getting buried under Deutsche Welle, but something happen on the hour and
they faded in to a point where they were dominating the freq. Heard an
ID at 1004 as "Rossii" in the middle of the news. According to Passport,
this
is being relayed via Kamchatka Radio from Petropavlovsk.
USA Pop music presented at 1014. Signal was good.
(Chuck Bolland, October 28, 2008)
Germany, 6075, Deutsche Welle, 0945-1015, This is relayed via the UK at
Skelton during this period according to the WRTH. The Passport says it's
via Rampisham. Noted news and features all in German language.
Signal was fair. (Chuck Bolland, October 28, 2008)
Unident, 6075, 1000-1020 Underneath the above loggings, there's a weak
station broadcasting in Spanish language. It sounds like news with male
and female individuals commenting. I am looking for that Bolivian noted
on this freq a few weeks ago, but can't be certain if this is them. They
were much more dominate when heard before. Signal is threshold
at this point. (Chuck Bolland, October 28, 2008)

Yes, noted some CNR1 echo on Oct 26th, much weaker outside China target I
guess, when compared with former Firedrake.
But Firedrake re-appeared today Oct 28th orchestra full in action:
against AIR Delhi Mandarin sce at 1130-1315 UT on 11840 and 15795 kHz,
covers the fundamental program in total. Remaining 9425 couldn't be checked
here even with small filter, due of VoGRC 9420 powerhouse nearby.

CHINA 7295 [Traxx FM via RTM MLA] totally covered by CNR-1 echo (they were
operating more than one jamming transmitter and out of sync, causing echo)
against new schedule for VOA in Chinese (CNR-1 echo jamming also on 6040,
6160 and 9680 kHz, all against VOA), but Firedrake (music jamming) was not
used. So Traxx FM is of no use for 2 hours.
(Ron Howard-CA-USA, dxld Oct 26)
Who knows if this is a permanent change, but Chicom jamming has for now
replaced Firedrake with the alternative: domestic programming, presumably
CNR-1, usually with an offset echo to drive listeners batty and away from
targeted services. Such was noted Oct 27 at 1300 on 6150, 6095; at 1344 on
6030, 6040, 6095; 1355 on 6085; 1402 on 9605 kHz.

** AFGHANISTAN [non]. R. Solh continues to provide very good reception here on
13830 via UK, mostly music, Oct 28 at 1406 check; could barely hear another
station under and making very slow SAH, presumably still BVB via Germany (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** AUSTRIA. R. Austria International, Oct 28 at 1327: 17855 was in English,
13730 in German and with a SAH but I don`t know of anything else supposed to be
on the frequency; clear after 1330. Possibly was really receiver
cross-modulation from a strong nearby signal (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** BULGARIA. R. Bulgaria, 15700, putting out spurious spikes at modulation
peaks, worst around 15720 and 15680, but also audible around 15740 and 15660,
Oct 28 at 1330. May have been bothering the DRM from Sines on 15720-15725-15730
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. RHC, 15120, Oct 28 at 1357 ending Despertar con Cuba, Tony crediting
staff, including himself, Antonio G?mez, and the other main announcer B?rbara
Betancourt, reiterating that DcC is on the air from 6 to 9 am local time (EST).
Correcting my earlier remarx, that is indeed now 11-14 UT. It`s the entire
morning transmission which runs to 1500, i.e. 11 am by DST, 10 am by ST, the
final hour on weekdays being other programming such as Voces de la Revoluci?n,
old diatribes by Fidel et al., and Formalmente Informal at 1430, by then a MUCH
needed partially musical respite (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. VOI, 9526, day 13, Oct 28 at 1318 saying Indonesia had been
committed to democracy since 1998, more of a consensus model than
one-man-one-vote, in Focus Today feature. Then P- and E-mail addresses; 1320
news in brief; 1323 plug listening via website http://www.voi.co.id and piano
music introducing Indonesian Wonder about a dance festival in Jakarta Oct
28-31. Usual very good signal, no het, some transmitter hum (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** JAPAN [non]. R. Japan, English on 11780, Oct 28 at 1403, running three words
behind 11705 Sackville relay. This is 62 degrees via Rampisham UK (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KURDISTAN [non]. Tuned in 11530, Oct 28 at 1359 just in time to hear a final
music minute, no announcement before 1400* That`s Denge Mezopotamya in Kurdish
via Moldova, now scheduled 05-14 on 11530 and 14-21 on 7540. Was weak and quite
fluttery on 11530 (Glenn Hauaser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** RUSSIA. Still hearing lite buzz on an unlisted 13600 transmitter, Oct 28 at
1335, talking about Ukraine, but am quite sure the language is Russian; and
then found // without buzz on 12025, but the two were a reverb apart, not
exactly synchronized. The latter is listed as VOR via a Moscow site. Wolfgang
B?schel has reported a terrible buzz from VOR Lesnoy(?) site from 6120 to 6140
at 1600-2200, so maybe this is more from the same (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** SPAIN [and non]. The 1-kHz-off-frequency operations of REE via Cariari,
COSTA RICA, have finally been rectified, following our note to the engineer in
Madrid last week, tho he has not replied directly.
Oct 28 at 0625, 5965.0 ex-5964, now within a SAH of Vatican co-channel, English
which was // 7250; REE was playing a singer sounding like Piaf. So I also
checked the others a few hours later:
Oct 28 at 1313, 9765.0 // 11815.0 ex-9764 and 11814, in RNE Diario Hablado.
It`s quaint that a radio newscast is called a ``spoken daily [newspaper]``.
Also // 15170 which never was off-frequency, and still buried by Romania in
B-08. All the CR relays are very undermodulated whether on- or off-frequency.
These off-frequencies had been observed since February and March. First reports
of each in DXLD:
5964, DXLD 8-025, February 24
9764, DXLD 8-035, March 15
11814, DXLD 8-039, March 30
Tho they all could have begun as early as Feb 24.
One version of the B-08 REE program schedule no longer lists the newscasts in
Catalan, Galician and Basque, but there are lots of other anomalies in it, and
I gather that it is an imaginary proposed (?) schedule. In fact, the 3-language
news is still running. It`s been a good many months since I axually listened to
them, so I did so again Oct 28, as it`s fun to see how much one can understand
knowing only some Castilian and Portuguese.
In B-08 these have shifted an hour later to M-F 1340-1355. Forget 15170, ruined
by Romania, but 17595 direct from Noblejas has excellent signal and modulation.
I no longer hear these called ``Lenguas Co-Oficiales`` so I assume this
politically correct terminology is no longer in vogue.
Oct 28 started promptly at 1340 in Catalan direct from Barcelona studio, lots
of short items ending with something about the Lakers and the Blazers
(Blaisers?)! 1345 switched to Galician with cute Celtic-influenced nautical
jingle, M&M with weather et al. 1350 to Euskadi, and same as months ago, this
Basque segment is about Basque country, but IN Castilian --- only the opening
and closing announcements are in Basque. Items included literature prizes,
22-year-old arrested for rape (``violaci?n`` as the Spaniards call it), ETA
arrests. 1355 PSA for Instituto Cervantes, music fill.
Castilians speak rapidly and stacattoly, but all three of these are at
breakneck pace, heavily produced with two alternating announcers, quick
axualities, music bed and stingers. What would you do if you only had 5 minutes
a weekday to convey your region`s news to the world? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** SWEDEN. 11540, R. Sweden in Swedish, except for ID in passing pronounced in
English, inbooming at 1400 Oct 28, so strong I suspected Sackville relay had
resumed, ex-11640. But no, this is H?rby direct aimed 95 degrees, and on the
air this semi-hour only, unfortunately, no English before or after (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. Don`t be too excited if you hear a strong signal in Arabic on 7465,
as I did Tuesday Oct 28 at 0617. It`s just WHRA, in B-08 scheduled there at 75
degrees, despite outdated listing for 7490 on WHR website: 0615-0620
Mo,Tu,We,Th Bible Pathway Rich Hash 7490
If entry is correct, it`s yet another one not specified as in a language other
than English (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. VOA Korean service on 9555 collides with WYFR in Spanish,
which tends to be on top here, until 1400, as I tried at 1315 Oct 28 to hear
the daily tune in English, but instead got lexure about sheep, goats, Christ,
unleavened bread, intestines. So had to go to 5890 for VOA music (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [non]. 11805, pop music in Spanish, strong signal and one of few at
all on 25m, Oct 28 at 0614, besides NZ 11725 and RA 12080. But nothing on 11665
--- so it`s CVC La Voz, Miami via Chile, moved from there, confirmed by // 6070
which has the CFRX SAH most of the night. 11805 now scheduled 00-08 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
