Bolivia, 6155.25, Radio Fides, 1030-1045 From tune in, noted steady
news presented by various males in Spanish Language. At 1032, a series
of Ads or promos presented. One thing I like about Bolivian Radio Stations,
especially those on shortwave, is the fact that they all are a few Hertz off
freq. As far as I can tell, that's the case with each station. I suppose
this maybe
an intentional condition that they possibly feel allows their station to be
heard by their listeners or possibly their transmitter is not precise enough
to tune down to the nearest Hertz easily? Regardless, it makes tuning in
Bolivian stations a lot easier especially if one has a good notch filter on
his receiver. Getting back to Radio Fides, the talk continued during the
period while
the signal faded from a fair to poor. (Chuck Bolland, December 2, 2008)

** CHINA. 5240, I rarely hear Tibet here, but maybe I should check this far OOB
more often; Dec 2 at 1404 mixing with CODAR was weak Firedrake, I think, but
did not seem // also weak 9000. Note this would have been during the
top-of-hour 5-minute monitoring break when Firedrake usually pauses against
Sound of Hope. Some 7 hours later and a few days earlier, a Brazilian DXer
reported R. Free Asia in Chinese on 5240, which seems unlikely unless they have
decided to collide directly with the long-established Xizang OOB frequency,
which is on the air about 22 hours a day, causing the Chicom to jam themselves?
It is also conceivable that Firedrake-like music could appear occasionally as
legitimate programming on Chinese stations. More monitoring needed! (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. As you may have noticed, I have tried to avoid monitoring RHC and all
its SNAFUs lately, but caught one anyway Dec 2 at 1501 on 13760 when B?rbara
Betancourt was introducing herself and opening Despertar con Cuba, also on
11760 but an echo apart. Both went off a few seconds apart at 1502*. Another
case of the 1100 UT program being played back at 1500 and being put on the air
by mistake (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** IRAN. VOIRI, 9575, Dec 2 at 1429 caught my ear with some nice music on a
fairly good signal; 1430 ID and opening in Russian, Qur`an but quite brief,
becoming pro-forma? Already 1433 news theme and into newscast. This is 330
degrees from Sirjan, i.e. to western Russia, and also favors North America
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** IRAN [non]. 15410, Dec 1 at 1505, enjoying R. Farda music almost completely
obliterating co-channel Chile, but a SAH was detected at 1509, and Farda off at
1529*. Schedule is 1400-1530 via Woofferton UK, 105 degrees (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KUWAIT. 15110, at 1440 Dec 2, Arabic music, 1442 mentioning Kuwait, which is
scheduled here 1315-1800 at 100 degrees (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NEW ZEALAND. Happened on RNZI in French, 17675, UT Monday Dec 1 at 2148,
speech about Pres. Sarkozy, mentioning Polyn?sie Fran?aise. 2151 back to
English with 9 to 11 timecheck. This is not on the RNZI program grid
http://www.rnzi.com/pages/schedules.php but instead RNZI Feature UT Mon-Thu
2140-2200 tho there is a Pacific Press Review in French scheduled from 2115 UT
Sundays (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** THAILAND. R. Thailand, 9725, poor with flutter but no QRM, during English
semihour to SE Asia, Dec 2 at 1410 with talk on the king`s birthday
festivities, then detailed info on how tourists may obtain VAT refund --- one
requirement being departure via an international airport, not so easy at the
moment!
It`s incredible that there are many transmissions from the IBB Udorn relay
which carry on with very good signals to NAm, while R. Thailand in axually
targetting NAm fails to succeed by insisting on prime time direct on 12, 15 MHz
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. At least on Monday Dec 1, WBCQ filled the open hour on 7415 at 2200
with Jean Shepherd, streamofconciousness classic radio on the subject of boring
jobs. Audio a bit lofi especially during opening theme music; signal OK until
starting to fade down at 2240; show ended at 2245 with a commercial, could not
decide whether classic or contemporary, and fill music. 2300 still running
WORLD OF RADIO on Monday (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 13570v, WINB, 1503 Tuesday Dec 2, Musical Memories show put on by a
`housewife` who revels in now being heard around the world, as she sits at her
piano playing mostly religious music and singing. Not exactly a pro or of
operatic quality, but she may have escaped from a choir. Included Jingle Bells
with some clever new lyrix. Offered a free 60-minute CD of her Xmas music
oeuvre, on request from P O Box 907, Oak Park IL 60303. Her husband`s name is
George and she finally IDed herself as Martha Reed (sp?) Garvin. As for her SW
outlet, could not have picked a worse one to convey music, WINB with its
distortion and wobbly carrier. Also scheduled there UT Monday 0330 on 9265. Per
the outdated Oct WWCR program schedule, times adjusted, she is also on
Saturdays 1030 on 5070, Saturdays 1530 on 15825, Sundays 1100 on 5070, Mondays
2100 on 15825 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 6074, 8GAL V/CQ marker was quite audible Dec 2, starting a few
sex before the R. Rossii timesignal at 1400 and mixing with it briefly (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 17740, open carrier, Dec 2 at 1445 and still going past 1500.
Nothing scheduled here anywhere near this time (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST) ###
