Peru, 6019.39, Radio Victoria, 1115-1141, Noted a weak signal here just off
a few Hertz from 6020 with a male in Spanish language comments. Needed
to notch out the stronger station on 6020 however. Later a female comments
also. (Chuck Bolland, January 1, 2009)
Peru, 9720, Radio Victoria, 1145-1200, Decided to check this freq out to
see if
Victoria was using it this morning. Upon tuning in, noted the usual Male
Preacher
in Spanish Language Sermon. Later a female joins in with the testimonials.
Signal was a lot better on this band than it was at 6 MHz. Signal was fair
to poor. (Chuck Bolland, January 1, 2009)

Malaysia, 6175, Voice of Malaysia, 1208-1230, Tuned in late when music is

I may have missed this discussion many years ago, but what is the DX community
consensus about counting the transmitter sites which appear on Radio Moscow
QSLs? I understand that Radio Moscow was supposedly less than forthcoming with
transmitter locations, and that many of the listed sites are now questionable.
Do I now "uncount" all of my loggings and the transmitter sites on this QSLs?
My feeling is that DXers should count them as they appear on the QSLs, because
there is no intent on the DXer's part to be dishonest about it.

Heh Bill, a really good question..
as we have no reliable tx site info from USSR
the early years (or is there any?) we can count
those qsl's as a scrap. Locals are ok, like my
Karelo-Finnish Rep or what it was called station
somewhere around 5040 or so.

Periodista de radio somal? fue asesinado por pistoleros.
http://www.rpp.com.pe/2009-01-01-periodista-de-radio-somali-fue-asesinado-por-pistoleros-noticia_154560.html
Hasan fue asesinado cuando trataba de cubrir un enfrentamiento artillero que se
produjo en Afgoi en el primer d?a de este a?o
El periodista somal? Hasan Mayow Hasan fue asesinado hoy por pistoleros en la
localidad de Afgoi, 30 kil?metros al oeste de Mogadiscio, inform? la emisora
Radio Shabelle, para la que trabajaba.
Hasan fue asesinado cuando trataba de cubrir un enfrentamiento artillero que se
produjo en Afgoi en el primer d?a de este a?o, seg?n dijo Jamila Osman, que
estaba con ?l cuando result? muerto.
"Unos pistoleros desconocidos nos dispararon y las balas le alcanzaron en la
cabeza", explic? Osman, quien dijo que trataban de aproximarse al lugar del
enfrentamiento artillero para saber de que se trataba.
Osman agreg? que no estaba seguro de que Hasan fuese el objetivo de los
pistoleros, porque los enfrentamientos en la zona hab?an empezado antes de que
ellos llegasen.
El director de Radio Shabelle, Mukhtar Mohamed Hirabe, dijo a los periodistas
que "no sabemos los m?viles de su asesinato", que ocurri? en las proximidades
del domicilio del periodista.
Hasan es el primer periodista muerto en Somalia este a?o, con lo que el pa?s se
mantiene como uno de los m?s peligrosos del mundo para los informadores, de los
que once han sido asesinados desde enero de 2007 y decenas han sido
secuestrados, detenidos u obligados a exiliarse por amenazas.
Cinco periodistas -un espa?ol, un brit?nico, una canadiense, un australiano y
un somal?- permanecen secuestrados desde el pasado a?o.
En agosto de 2007, un grupo de pistoleros secuestro cerca de Mogadiscio a la
canadiense Amanda Lindhout y a su colega australiano Nigel Brennan, junto con
el tambi?n periodista somal? Abdifatah Mohamed Elmi, que trabajaba para ellos
como traductor, sin que se haya aclarado su situaci?n.
El pasado noviembre, el fot?grafo espa?ol Jos? Cend?n y el periodista brit?nico
Colin Freeman fueron secuestraos en Bosaso, la principal ciudad de la regi?n
norte?a de Puntlandia, tras una semana de estancia en la que hab?an hecho un
reportaje sobre la pirater?a y cuando se iban a trasladar al aeropuerto para
abandonar el pa?s.
Las autoridades locales han asegurado que Cend?n y Freeman est?n retenidos por
sus captores en una zona monta?osa cerca de Bosaso y han acusado de organizar
el secuestro a los traductores que trabajaron para ellos en el reportaje sobre
los piratas somal?es, que tienen sus refugios en Puntlandia.

Hello !
Shortly before 4 PM, thei signal appeared to be fading out, but now since a few
minutes they are extremely strong once again with the NPR feed. Are they are
having any IBOC QRM issues for switching from daytime power to nightone around
4 o'clock, then back to daytime power at 5 ?
Is WFAN-660 IBOC an issue 20 kHz away from their channel ?
I'm afraid to loose 640 as a great Caribbean DX opportunity and 639 as a slim
opportunity for Spain-639 which I've never heard (yet)...
May the good DX keeps your ears in perfect health during 2009 !

1152 PAKISTAN, PBC Rawalpindi, heard 1857 on 01 Jan in UR w/call-in show.
Very strong sigs w/100kw
1377 ARMENIA, VoR Sodruzhestvo relay s/off w/ID and IS at 1758 on 01 Jan
in RU, tx'er off for 30 secs and then TWR relay IS into unid lang. A
two-fer! Easy logging at 1000kW for Armenia on mw. Very strong sigs,
w/some minor QRM from Iran
1431 DJIBOUTI, R. Sawa relay, heard at 1743 on 01 Jan in AR with US soul
mx and talk. Very good signal with 600kW. Some QRM from co-channel Iran.
1494 CHINA, PBS Xinjian, Chinese graveyard channel at 1555 on 01 Jan, in
CH talk with commercials before the top of the hour. This one is dominant,
but there are 5 stations listed, all low power of around 1kW. Full ID on
the hour. Fair sigs but fighting it out co-channel.
1503 TAJIKISTAN, VoR Sodruzhestvo relay, heard at 1547 on 01 Jan with
what can best be described as Russian show tunes and occasional DJ chat.
Heard one song which was the basis for the IS from the old R.Station Peace
and Progress in the 70s. That brought back some memories! Good sigs with
an occasional deep fade. This is listed as only 7kW. No sign of 500kW
Iran! This trend could really make me a happy man...
1566 INDIA, AIR National Channel, heard at 1530 on 01 Jan w/EG news and
commentary. Banging signal with 1000 kW. I understand this does a pretty
good job of covering SAsia. Nice to find a freq where Iran gets stepped on
for a change.
4795 KYRGYZSTAN, Kyrgyz R., heard at 2327 on 01 Jan w/KG talk by YL
announcer and RS/KG vocals. Excellent sigs and no QRM. My Kyrgyz work
colleagues just roll their eyes when I mention hearing the station. They
are not very impressed by their national radio!
4895 MONGOLIA, Mongolian R. 1st Pgm, heard at 2318 on 01 Jan w/MO talk by
squeaky-voiced YL and western-style mx beds. Good sigs. //4830
7140 INDIA, AIR Hyderabad, heard at 0357 on 01 Jan with Hindi commercials
and station ID. Fair sigs considering the time of day and frequency.
7450 GREECE, ERT3 Makedonias, heard at 0408 on 01 Jan with Greek
easy-listening mx and very little talk. Only one station ID. Good sigs and
no QRM. They appear to be alone on this freq. At least until the Chicoms
discover it. //7475 Apparently national program carried on ERT3 as
traditional VoG channel also carrying it at a time when they are not
supposed to be on.
7690 UNID, Spy Station w/YL repeating "Echo Zulu India" over and over at
0433 on 01 Jan. Slightly clipped English accent. Rumor has it this is
Mossad. Fair sigs and no QRM. Finally went into "Message, Message" and
gave encrypted message in apparent 5-letter groups. Thought these days
were over.... Tx'er in RCSSB yet audible on both USB and standard AM.
Message ended at 0445 and bubble jammer appeared on 7692. Too little, too
late, guys.
7749 AFGHANISTAN, RTV Afghanistan. Must be a serious mis-tune or their
harmonic filters are burnt through. Now being heard on 7th harmonic as well
at 0452 on 01 Jan. Pol-e-Charki located at least 20km away from me.
8484 KOREA, HLG Seoul R., coastal CW station, heard at 2350 on 01 Jan
running CQ marker as: CQ CQ CQ DE HLG HLG HLG QSX 8 MHZ. Very strong sigs.
10kW.
9526 INDONESIA, VoI, heard at 1335 on 01 Jan with EG show, several nice
and clear IDs by YL. This is beamed at 3? with 50kW per AOKI, so again, I
appear to be off the side of the beam, but good levels nonetheless.
11530 CLAN, Denge Mezopotamya, heard at 0525 on 01 Jan playing The
Internationale! Full marching band style. Local level sigs. I am quite
surprised to hear this on a station supposedly looking for a "free" Iraq. I
will have to check their political statement.
12005 SRI LANKA, DW DRM, heard at 0850 on 01 Jan in GM with people
discussing their history as children with diaries. I tell ya, when you can
actually receive DRM and demod it consistently, the experience is quite
nice! Very strong signals, but gone at 0858. Oh well, it was a nice
experience.
13720 UAE, Sudan R. Svc., heard at 0554 01 Jan in EG w/talks on the
media's role in democracy until multilingual IDs at 0559 and tx off at 0600.
Good sigs apparently off the side of the beam.
Apparently, one of my guards took a liking to the grounding cable for my
generator for use as a battery cable in his car. This caused the sudden
ruination of mediumwave at 2350 local on New Years' Eve. He is now free to
repair his vehicle without the benefit of my employ. I have replaced the
cable, but something is still not right with the generator as everything
below 1 MHz is still essentially pfutsch! A replacement genset is to be
delivered sometime next week, but mediumwave is kind of handicapped until
then.
Aside from that, I've had an excellent day of DX, ranging from broadcast to
spy stations to utes. I hope everyone else has had the same. I did manage
to scrounge some pork and sauerkraut for lunch (thank you ASI International
for the invite!) as well as a case of John Smith's ale from my friends at
the British Embassy.

South Africa, 9610, BBC, Meyerton, 0257-0310 ID's in English before the
hour as, "This is the BBC World Service ... dot com". On the hour a
female begins broadcasting in Swahili(listed). Signal was poor and kept
fading into the noise and popping back out. (Chuck Bolland, January 2,
2009)
Ecuador, 9745, HCJB, 0320-0340 Noted a program in Special English until
about 0330. It consisted of reading letters from listeners usually
concerning religion. The web site URL was given as
http://www.radio.english.net. At the end of the program, language changed
to Spanish with new broadcasters giving ID as "HCJB" in Ecuador. This was
followed with more comments in Spanish between a male and female.
Signal was fair. (Chuck Bolland, January 2, 2009)

It has a new sort routine that searches the database by actual transmitter
sites.
A very helpful routine.
