** BULGARIA. 11700, again with motor-boating over weak audio, Dec 17 at 1453,
and this time the carrier was unstable with BFO on. Still not positive it is R.
Bulgaria with the problem, so I monitored // 15700 which used to be the
motor-boater but is now OK, to see if they went off at the same time, 1459:50.
Yes, or very close, but 11700 was immediately blasted at 1500 by DRM from HCJB
11705. BTW, 15700 just cut off some classical piano music in progress without
the courtesy of any farewell (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CANADA. CFRX is back, and better than ever! This shows how good it can be,
by way of full modulation and getting the max out of only 1000 watts, but can
they keep it up this time? Dec 17 at 0653, giving CVC Chile a run for its money
on 6070, CFRX axually on top but not by much and far too heavy co-channel QRM
for pleasant listening, SAH of about 6 Hz. In talkshow with a psychiatrist
cleverly titled ``Shrink-Rap``, giving 514 area code! Yes, it originates with
CJAD 800 Montréal, as mentioned later in joint ID in passing, but nothing about
6070! So CJAD anyway has an indirect SW relay too. Closing full ID for both was
``Montreal`s news-talk leader, CJAD, 800 and Newstalk 1010, CFRB Toronto`` ---
so CFRB cannot claim to be the leader in its market?? 0700 into CFRB (only)
news, temp -2.
Next check at 1432, still good signal in daypath, no QRM, and still -2 degrees
as Jessica concluded her Skywatch traffic report, back to the Bill Carroll
Morning Show. Still good at 1516 when I confirmed the frequency was as close to
6070.0 as I could measure it by comparing to WWV and KFTI-1070 Wichita on the
FRG7 BFO. Weakening a bit at 1540. Did not have a chance to check it yet thru
low noon with minimum noise sources, but I bet it`s audible solsticially (Glenn

** CANADA. Sackville finally back on the air after more than five days silence,
Dec 17 at 1444 check with CBCNQ 9625 back to usual distorted undermodulation,
much better signal from KBSWR relay on 9650; 1458 confirmed CRI on 15230, 1505
on 13675. 1505 RCI Russian as really scheduled, on 9610. Jeff White tells me
they resumed full funxions around 0500 UT Dec 17. It would be interesting to
find out exactly what kept them and their many relay clients off for such a
long period (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1439, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 17740 with Merlin music loop, Dec 17 at 1502-1503*, some pauses
but no announcements, sandwiched between Japan via France 17735 and SRS via
Portugal 17745. Likely Meyerton running overtime from VOA Kurdish 17740 as
heard recently until 1500* (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###
