Greetings everyone,
SLOVAKIA, RSI, 13715, f/d Banska Stiavnica - Trojcne Square cd, in 66d for
email report. No V/s or actual QSL statement, just handwritten
date/time/freq on the Slovak Radio postcard. Still, I love going over to
Pressburg (Bratislava) when I'm in Wien. It's quite the party town, and is
extremely beautiful to boot!

Bolivia, 6155.25, Radio Fides, 1050-1105 Noted two males in Spanish
comments until 1052 when a female joins in. After the top of the hour,
a program of news heard. Signal was poor. (Chuck Bolland, January 12,
2009)
Malaysia, 9750, Voice of Malaysia, 1155-1245, Prior to the hour, noted
interval signal repeatedly. On the hour, ID by female - followed with NA
and more comments from female. At approx 1202, news presented.
Following that a program of music. On the halfhour, news again. Signal
was fair. (Chuck Bolland, January 12, 2009)

Konnie?s CT LOG 090102 ? 171-MOROCCO
** MOROCCO, Nador, Radio Medi 1, 171 LW, Mon Jan 2 2009 0536-UTC, fair with OM
in FF, perhaps Nx. Followed w/Dance mx. 0545 ID and AA lang chng. YL w/nx
TOH. Signal fading to poor at this tx.
After noticing excellent copy of NDBs below 530, and following Bogdan
Chiochiu?s reports on LW, thought I?d check-and-heard faint-poor 162-France,
the only signal I?ve ever heard here. Caught my attention, and perhaps at the
right time, was increasing signal strength on 171.
Usually see listed 162-France and 189-Iceland reports, but can?t recall Radio
Medi. Very pleased to record this one; my first LW good enough for a report.
I?m excited: There?s still hope afterall for owners of low end rcvrs i.e.
DX-440 and 100 ft wire indoors, tangled on floor albeit. (Konnie Rychalsky, SW

** AUSTRALIA. 15560, RA in English Jan 11 at 2318 in news interview. This is
new for B-08, 70 degrees from Shepparton to Pacific; that means it is also
aimed toward NAm, same as 9580 at 08-14, which has barely been making it lately
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CANADA [and non]. After checking out Cuban jamming against VOA 9885, I
noticed RCI fairly good on 9880, UT Mon Jan 12 at 0024 with music, then Maple
Leaf Mailbag and RCI ID. This should have been // but 5 minutes ahead of 9755,
which is Sackville to NAm with same program, but instead 9755 checked at 0028
was in Brazilian Portuguese! And had a warble on the carrier, not sure if
Sackville-caused or from interference. Anyhow, 9880 was better here in CNAm
even tho it`s via Kunming, China, beamed 175 degrees, nowhere near our direxion
and from much further away!
Others have reported for months that 9755 is in Portuguese (UT Sun and Mon) one
hour earlier than the schedule shown at
http://www.rciviva.ca/rci/PDF/2008Fall/RCI-TECH-B08-ENG.pdf
and this still hasn`t been corrected. By 0105, when 9755 may have really been
in English, signal had just about vanished. Because azimuth changed? No, same
268 degrees is supposedly in use for both English and Portuguese, not for
Brasil, but for all the Portuguese-speaking immigrants in northern USA and
western Canada, one of a few extreme-minority language groups who are so
fortunate to have SW broadcasts especially for them; but how many of them are
axually aware of and listen to Radio Canada Internal, if they can even get it?
Something is terribly wrong with RCI frequency management when a broadcast to
SE Asia via China is better heard here than one direct from Sackville; but
those who really want to hear it should try 9880 at 0000 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** CANADA. CHU, 7850, 2348 UT Jan 11, noticed that has finally eliminated the
futurely QSY announcements which were running at :15 past every minute for many
days following the Dec 31 transition. While I was there, with BFO on, compared
frequency to 6850 Radio Cairo and found they matched nicely. I wonder if CHU
makes any claims for tight frequency accuracy on this or the others, like WWV
does on its (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also EGYPT
** CHINA. Firedrake is usually on 8400 or 9000 but not both. However, Jan 12 at
1457 it was on both, perhaps to cover two bases even if Sound of Hope was on
only one of them at a time (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. Re previous report Jan 11 of echo on 11760 during 1500 Sunday
Esperanto broadcast, and before that, echo on 9550 during the 2300 English: it
happened again, Jan 11 at 2324 check, more obvious echo during brief fades of
stronger signal. This time I looked for a SAH as further proof that two
transmitters are in use. There were fades amounting to about 36 times per
minute, i.e. 0.6 Hz, but it was hard to be sure they were not just
propagational fading.
RHC with weekly Esperanto broadcast, Sunday Jan 11 at 2339 with ID in passing
on 6180. This is now on the schedule at
http://www.radiohc.cu/espanol/frecuencia/frecuencias-espanol.htm
as 2330 for CAm, // 9600 for SAm, but in fact 9600 was not //, and was in
Spanish when checked a few minutes later (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [and non]. Renconfirming whether the DentroCubans are still jamming not
only R. Mart? but also Voice of America in Spanish: UT Mon Jan 12 at 0008 found
VOA with innocuous pop music program ``De Capital a Capital`` on 5890, 5940 and
9885, all from Greenville. 5940 was slightly stronger than 5890 while 9885 was
much weaker, fighting the dropping MUF. Jamming could be heard underneath 5890
and 5940, was at roughly equal level to VOA on 9885; and at 0022 recheck,
jamming was way on top of VOA 9885. Have also noticed jamming against nothing
on 9885 at many other times of day.
According to http://www.voanews.com/spanish/programas_de_radio.cfm Ventana al
Caribe is at 0000 UT Tue, Thu, Fri and Sat, but that is not necessarily
up-to-date, and does not make clear what is on SW and what is only on
satellite. VaC is the program which might include info about Cuba since the
cancellation of the previous Ventana a Cuba show, which got the DentroCubans
started jamming VOA; but changing the name has not mollified them.
BTW, don`t you believe PWBR `2009` which misses 5890 and 5940, and shows 9885
at the wrong time, 0030-0200, and furthermore without the jamming wavylines,
tho VOA Spanish has been jammed for a long time by the Cubans who don`t give a
damn whether they also impede non-Cubans from hearing it. Meanwhile RHC
broadcasts without any fear of payback from the USA, too principled to jam,
even in retaliation (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** EGYPT. R. Cairo, Jan 11 at 2340 on 6290 in Arabic, extremely overmodulated
and distorted as YL was reading news. 2344 was just as bad when mixed with
music. Meanwhile, 6850 was as usual undermodulated, slightly better during
music than talk segments, which unseemed English tho scheduled 2300-2430 to
NAm. 6290 is supposed to change transmitter site at 0000, from ABZ to ABS, but
at next check 0006 Jan 12, sounded exactly the same with distortion, so no
change any longer. When they did change as monitored several months ago, the
two overlapped with SAH, and the improvement in audio quality was painfully
obvious (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [non]. Found W`s final press conference in progress on 9480, Jan 12 at
1440; VOA pre?mpting normal programming. Kept an ear on it while firing up TV
and finding it also on ABC, CBS, NBC plus the usual cable news channels and
C-SPAN 2. Figured that if he ran past 1500, which he did by a few minutes, VOA
would chop even the POTUS off at scheduled closing time for that transmission,
14-15 only via Lampertheim, GERMANY. But it was already missing at 1458 check.
Since FEBC Manila comes in so well on 9430, one might have assumed this VOA
relay was coming TP rather than TA, but Germany is listed. However, Poland
still does well via Germany 9450 during the previous hour. The only other SW
frequency found with live coverage of this was AFN 12133.5-USB (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. Presumed OTH radar pulsing, Jan 12 at 1433 covering 9315 to 9345,
and badly bothering VOK in French on 9335. Next check 1456 found it on
8955-8985 instead. Why don`t they find a clear 30 kHz segment somewhere and
stick to it? Is there any operational or funxional necessity to keep shifting
around? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

On 12 Jan at 1757 noted an Arabic station on
3406 lsb. I first thought they gave the BSKSA
id, but later it was noted // 918 and the id was in fact
Syria. 918 audio is a few seconds late of that on sw.
Still on at 2125.
