Peru, 4775, Radio Tarma, 1030-1045 Barely audible with CODAR churing
away on top of this freq, noted typical Peruvian Pop music. Heard some
comments at 1035. Signal was threshold. (Chuck Bolland, November 17, 2008)
Peru, 4955, Radio Cultural Amauta, (Pres)1037-1045 Noted a male in either
Quechua or Aymara language comments. Every so often, "Peru" is mentioned.
Signal was poor with fading. (Chuck Bolland, November 17, 2008)
Vietnam, 6165, Voice of Vietnam (Tent), 1055-1059 With a pretty fair
signal,
noted Vietnamese type music until 1059. At that time however, Radio
Nederland
tunes up on the frequency blocking everything. (Chuck Bolland, November 17,
2008
Indonesia, 9680, RRI Jakarta, 1109-1130 Noted steady Pop music at tune in.
There's
two other stations on this freq besides Jakarata.(see below). At 1113 music
ceases
breifly and signal is lost in the QRM. By 1119 there's so much interference
on this
frequency, I can't pull out Jakarta anymore from all of it. (Chuck Bolland,
November 17, 2008)
Taiwan, 9680, Taiwan International, (Tent) 1109-1130, Noted a male in
Mandarin language
comments. At 1114 a female joins in briefly. The comments continue during
the period
while signal remains at a fair level. (Chuck Bolland, November 17, 2008)
Unident, 9680, 1109-1130 Noted a male in comments. Couldn't identify the
language
but it wasn't English. This could be WYFR which would be resonable since
they usually
skip over my location on certain bands and sound like they are somewhere on
the other
side of nowhere. But can't pull out an ID. (Chuck Bolland, November 17,

Albania, 6115, Radio Tirana, 0110-0130, Noted male giving ID at tune in as,
"Radio Tirana" then into local music. Between tunes brief comments by male.
Albania is easily heard in Italy where I spent a period of time many years
ago.
So this music brings back pleasant memories of a clearer and more generic
time in my life in Italy Eventhough things were tremulous or fearful in
Albania then. Presently however, the signal is very good. (Chuck Bolland,
(Chuck Bolland, November 18, 2008)
Cuba, 6140, Radio Havana Cuba, 0125-0135 Noted a female in English language
comments until about 0128 when music presented. At 0133 a
description of the recent hurricane damage which occurred when the recent
hurricane hit Cuba earlier this month. Signal was fair only un LSB while
USB
was covered with splatter. (Chuck Bolland, November 18, 2008)

After rearly 44 years of QSLing (Feb 65 to now), I have reached a
milestone of 3,000 MW QSLs from 95 countries. The one received in
today's mail is another jewell. It made my day.
970 KFBX AK, Fairbanks, received a very nice QSL card "NewsRadio
970" in blue and "KFBX" is yellow lettering. Under that in black
lettering "Fairbanks Alaska USA" and " 970 kHz AM 10,000 watts."
Also enclosed was a nice letter on KFBX letterheard. in 358d V/S: Scott
Diseth, C.E.. Mentioning, they rarely get reports from the Lower 48.
Address: KFBX, Clear Channel Radio, 546 9th Avenue, Fairbanks AK
99701. Alaska QSL #60, MW QSL 3,000. (PM-OR)
I had given up on this one, as the report was tentative and the CD left
a lot to be desired quality-wise. No ID, but I did have spot for a Car
Dealer with the phone prefix, so I knew it was KFBX. I am sure happy
with this one.

** ALBANIA. R. Tirana, 7390, open carrier already at 0241 Nov 18, 0244 IS, 0245
opening English quarter-hour. S9+18 on the meter, but barely modulated and
really unreadable vs remaining noise level. Clear frequency, anyway, no ACI or
CCI, tho maybe a bit of bleedover from Cuban jammers on 7365 and/or 7405. The
0130-0145 R. Tirana English is supposed to change to 7425, along with the
Albanian sesquihour before it, but nothing heard there yet and presumably had
not yet moved down from 9345, where I could detect a weak carrier at 0000, but
that may have been P`yongyang (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BULGARIA. R. Bulgaria, 15700, which had resumed on Nov 15, was missing again
on Nov 17 at 1451 check (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** EGYPT. R. Cairo, fair signal on 7535, Nov 18 at 0049, but very
undermodulated talk, barely recognizable as Spanish, scheduled 0045-0200, and
no doubt just as bad in English for the following sesquihour (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. VOI, 9526, Nov 16 at 1402, modulation cutting out, fragment of
``Voice of Dignity`` slogan; VG signal tho with hum. English must be running
late again.
RRI regionals active on both 4750 and 4790, Nov 17 at 1416 with similar soft
music, but not // and at 1417 came an announcement on 4790 Fak2 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. RASA M?rida is operating 24h on 6105v according to Bob Wilkner in
FL, but I haven`t had much luck hearing it here. Until Nov 17 at the unlikely
hour of 0721 when I was getting vocal music in Spanish, some distortion,
peaking S9+5 between fades completely down, presumably this. A few minutes
later I was hearing instead the TWR IS, and English. Looked up later, I see
that is via Nauen from 0745 at 285 degrees until 0920, and furthermore WYFR is
on 6105 from 0800 to 1045, so don`t expect XE in the clear again until after
that (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SPAIN. Caught the closing announcement of REE`s weekly Emisi?n Sefarad again
one week later, Monday Nov 17 at 1453 on 15385, and yes, the YL claims 15385 is
on 16 meters, and still gives wrong A-08 frequencies for the other two
broadcasts. This one cut off abruptly before theme music finished. Language
almost sounded like real Castilian, but e.g. ``zero`` pronounced like a Z in
English (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SWEDEN [non]. Rarely try to pick up R. Sweden`s remaining Sackville relay,
6010, since it`s in my busy evenings, but Nov 18 at 0249 I heard George Wood
with SAH and a lot of interference from LA, no doubt R. Mil and/or LV de tu
Conciencia. If they are going to do this, R. Sweden should at least find a
clear frequency. Believe me, LA`s do count if as nothing more than annoying QRM
from the standpoint of a trans-Atlantic broadcaster. And R. Mil has tried for
years to get Sweden off 6010, the only frequency Mil can use, to no avail
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. 13650, Nov 16 at 1503 with IRN-USA Radio News (so have the
two faux-news networks with thinly-disguised gospel huxter agenda now merged?),
1505 into sermon called Lifetime. This is the Sunday-only broadcast hour of
WHRA, which collides with 1Africa, CVC Zambia, to W Africa and U Michigan,
which I assume would have been audible without this big signal in the way
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** VENEZUELA [non]. No sign of RNV CI, Nov 16 at 1501 on 11680, nor a few
minutes later. I believe that this broadcast on Sundays is normally pre-empted
by Alo, Presidente, transmitter needed on 11670; except that show is currently
on hiatus, back Nov 23 or 30? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###
