Bolivia, 3310, Radio Mosoj Chaski, 1016-1035 At tune in, noted music which
wasn't very
audible due to the noise on the band. It 1028 noted a female and male in
comments. Could
not tell if they were using Spanish or Quechua. These comments continue
until 1035.
Signal was poor. (Chuck Bolland, January 18, 2009)
Peru, 4826.49, Radio Sicuani, 0934-0945 Noted a male in Spanish language
comments
during the period. Signal fade out to nil at 0945 from a threshold level.

Indonesia, 3325, RRI Palangkaraya, (pres) 1037-1100, Noted Qu'ran type
chanting at tune in.
As the time passes the signal drops into the noise to a nil heard situation.
(Chuck Bolland,
January 18, 2009)
Russia, 6075, Radio Rossii, 1100-1130+ Been listening to this since the
beginning of the hour
and with every moment the signal continued to fade in a little better and a
little better. Noted
only Russian language comments from a male with a few moments of comments
from a female.
Sounded like the jest of the comments were political. ID's periodically.
Signal was fair.
AOKI says this is being broadcast via Petropavlovsk. (Chuck Bolland,

Azerbaijani government scrutiny of Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty's
Azerbaijani service, Radio Azadliq, continues following a ban on the station's
FM broadcasts. Meanwhile, loyal listeners are going digital to keep up with
the US-financed broadcaster's Internet and satellite-distributed programs.
Radio Azadliq (Radio Liberty) stopped its FM broadcasts on January 1 after
a heavily criticized decision by Azerbaijan's National Television and Radio
Council that foreign-owned stations should not have access to the
frequency.
But official misgivings about the station apparently did not end there. On
January 6, two representatives from the Ministry of Communications' State
Frequencies Commission visited the Radio Azadliq office, according to Baku
bureau chief Khadija Ismayilova.
The envoys demanded to be shown broadcast equipment, and started to
tinker with it, she recounted. "We stopped them and asked them to leave our
premises. They did not give us any official document. Moreover, later an
official from the ministry said that they had no instructions [to enter the
station]," Ismayilova said. "Now, we should be on our guard."
The station, which ranked as one of Azerbaijan's most popular, was known
for presenting a variety of views on government policy and actions -- an
increasingly rare phenomenon amongst Azerbaijani media outlets.
"Every morning, I turned on the radio as soon as I got up. Almost the whole
day I listened to Radio Azadliq," said 70-year-old Baku resident Mobil
Bahaduroglu. "Now, I have lost my friend."
Despite the ban, work at Radio Azadliq continues apace. Only slight
changes have been made to the station's 10-hour schedule, which now
relies on the Internet, satellite and shortwave radio for broadcast.
"There were no dramatic changes in programs," said Ismayilova, who has
worked as a reporter for EurasiaNet.org. The make-up of the station's
audience has undergone the greatest change, she added.
"Although many listeners call us and ask how to listen to the radio via
Internet and satellite, the majority of our audience listens to the radio on
shortwave. But its quality is low and the broadcasting is just for one hour."
Police reportedly took an interest in regular gatherings by clients at one
small Baku shop to hear Radio Azadliq programs broadcast by the shop's
satellite dish, according to Ismayilova. Elsewhere, Baku residents with
satellite dishes have neighbors over to listen to the radio together.
Radio Azadliq employees joke that it is the station's "contribution to the
development of information technologies in Azerbaijan."
"We are joking about the situation, but, in reality, it is quite serious," said
Ismayilova. "Our Internet statistics have been increasing, but 90 percent of
our regular listeners that we had before have lost [access to our]
information."
Some local observers believe that the decision to halt FM broadcasts by
Radio Azadliq and other foreign news outlets has already negatively affected
Azerbaijan's international image. Ilgar Mammadov, a Baku-based political
analyst, worries that the broadcasting ban means that few opposing points
of view will be heard in the weeks leading up to the March 18 referendum on
removing term limits for President Iham Aliyev.
The West, he believes, should be more skeptical in its assessment of
Aliyev's rule.
"Many international democratic institutions support him and his presidency
because of political pressure associated with Western energy, oil, and
strategic security issues," Mammadov said. "The international community
should reconsider seriously its attitude to this cruel dictatorship that does
not
recognize human rights in the country, violates its international obligations,
and is transforming the Azerbaijan republic into a monarchy run by one
family."
[Ilgar Mammadov serves on the board of the Open Society Institute
Assistance Foundation in Baku. EurasiaNet operates under the auspices of
OSI's Central Eurasia Project in New York City].
The question of foreign radio stations in Azerbaijan will be considered at the
winter session of the Parliamentary Assembly of Council of Europe (PACE),
news agencies have reported. "The existing events testify about the
problems with the freedom of speech and human rights," Turan quoted
PACE Rapporteur Andres Herkel as saying.
On January 15, PACE President LluAs Maria De Puig of Spain and Spanish
Foreign Affairs Minister Miguel A?ngel Moratinos expressed hope that
Azerbaijan's "highly regrettable" decision to ban FM broadcasts "will be
reconsidered and that steps can be taken quickly to rectify this situation."

** CANADA [and non]. CFRX quite absent from 6070, Jan 17 at 0635, just
continuous CVC gospel-rock music via Chile. Not even a SAH on it. Propagation
from northerly paths was even worse than usual, with 9 and 7 MHz virtually
dead; 6 MHz bore 5920 WBOH VG, but 5935 and 5890 WWCR were VP; nothing much
from Austria on 6155 or Croatia on 6165, as are normally incoming nightly. But
CFRX was well audible as usual over day path at next check 1415. Same situation
UT Jan 18: no CFRX audible at 0630 but there OK at 1355 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. Convoluted situation with RNV relays: see VENEZUELA [non]
** ECUADOR. HCJB, Aventura Diexista, Sat Jan 17 at 1448 on 11960, with Alen
Gr?jam reading DX news in first-person even tho I am sure it was written by
someone else. Gave postal address of RNV Antena Internacional as Apartado
postal 3970, yes, repeated as 3970 instead of correct 3979, so both the writer
and A.G. did not recognize this as an obvious typo. BTW, WRTH 2009 page 489
does not even mention this address altho RNV keeps announcing it; instead, a
street address in Caracas and the QSL manager in Miami. There have been reports
of p-mail bouncing from the box anyway.
Don`t you believe more erroneous info which followed on HCJB: R. Sweden in
English via Sackville 6010 at 0230-0300 and 0300-0330, instead of the correct
repeat time of 0330-0400! Later had recordings of Galei Zahal 6973 and Bahamas
1540. Who wrote this? Credited to Leonardo Santiago, of M?rida, Venezuela, who
provides monthly DX reports for this program, to return in February (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KOREA NORTH [non]. Shiokaze, via Japan on new 5985, Jan 17 at 1417 in
Japanese talk, no piano undercurrent, and no QRM. I noticed Jan 14 that this
was missing from 5910 where it had been for some weeks. And Jan 15 at 1406 had
a very poor signal in Korean or Japanese on 5985 with a het, which I supposed
was Myanmar, but other reports have Myanmar also on 5985.0 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SPAIN [and non]. REE with S?lo Canciones show I enjoy, Sunday Jan 18 at 1440
with Yves Montand, later a segment on Lady in the Dark; 17595 direct not
propagating well so had to default to inferior audio on CR relay 15170, which
was well atop Romania. 1455 cut away from this show with 10 minutes to go, for
PSA about voting in Galicia, and then QSY announcement to 17850 which would
come up in 3 minutes (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [non]. 9725, Jan 17 at 1536 with song in Vietnamese, for children?
Then Vietnamese announcement. Good reception, had not noticed before. Is VOA
via Saipan at 15-16 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** VENEZUELA [non]. RNV CI, via CUBA, back on correct frequency 11680, Jan 17
at 1500 signing on in English, instead of 11760 where it was Jan 16. For
incorrect mailing address see ECUADOR. I see that WRTH 2009 says the RNV
broadcasts at 11, 15 and 23 are in Spanish/English, while all the others, 10,
12, 19, 20 and 22 UT are in Spanish only. Is this correct: no English ever
heard on the latter ones?
Since Al?, Presidente resumed last Sunday Jan 11, I checked for it this Sunday
Jan 18: At 1405, 11875 was already on with separate programming about
Venezuela, not // RHC mainstream on 11760, 13760, etc. 13750, which is normally
used only for the A,P service, was on the air but with open carrier. By 1426 it
was modulating // RHC 13760 but an echo apart, rather than // 11875 as it
should have been.
11690 was not heard at 1405, but at 1430 check found that also on the air with
A,P service making fast SAH with HCJB underneath, also with persistent RTTY QRM
from 11687.5. As we outpointed months ago during the hiatus, when 11690 first
appeared on the RHC schedule for this, there would be a collision with HCJB,
which uses 11690 every day until 1500. And now that has come to pass. Yet 11680
and 11670 are open!
At 1433, I could also hear some co-channel under 11875, singing; probably
Lisboa which is scheduled on this frequency Sat & Sun only until 1500. Also at
1433, could barely hear the A,P service on 13680, underneath skirts of
CRI/Sackville 13675.
Not expecting to hear A,P service on 17750, but checked at 1435, and there it
was with good signal during Mundo Siete week-in-review program produced by RHC,
which is a standard feature in the run-up to joining the feed from Venezuela.
It was // 11690 but an echo apart.
13750 was still carrying the wrong feed at 1435, RHC mainstream, and still at
1453 // 13760. Next check of 17750 at 1457 found it had vanished. At 1458,
13750 had finally split from 13760, different programming, with 13750 now //
11875, 11690 and 13680 with A,P service. At 1501, 11760 switched from RHC
Spanish to Esperanto as scheduled, this time not // extra 13760 which was off
by 1502.
Suspended monitoring for breakfast, assuming that the Hugo show would soon be
underway, but at next check 1554, 11690 and 11875 were off, and 13750 had gone
back to open carrier, so evidently after all this trouble, he was a no-show.
More lack of communication between Caracas and Habana, or the mercurial
mandator pulled out at the last minute?
If 1) Hugo really did his show every week at a certain time, and 2) RHC
broadcast it on a certain set of non-colliding frequencies, 3) not mixed up
with other RHC mainstream service, everything would be nominal and I would have
nothing significant to report about this. But that will never happen at the
number one SNAFU station (Glenn Hauser, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

4930 BOTSWANA, VoA relay heard at 1621 on 18 Jan w/EG pgm w/nx and
current affairs. Talk about warlords and the crisis in Sudan. Poor
reception, but an unusually early opening to Africa. Rated at 100kW and
beamed to SAf.
5815 CLAN, Al Aqsa R., heard at 1706 on 18 Jan with rapid-fire AR talk
and several IDs. Fair signal, but squashed by R. Liberty on 5820. Does
anyone speak enough AR to understand if they are giving a snail mail or
email address, or any kind of contact information?
Well, my office windows have been replaced and finally blast-proofed. It's
funny how, in a place where the smallest task takes days and involves
repeated discussions and re-iteration of orders, that this got done in a
matter of hours. The previous windows were not blast-proofed. Probably why
they gave me the office! ;-)
Other people seem to be hearing Al Aqsa R. a lot better than I do,
indicating perhaps some sort of directional antenna, or a tx site not in the
Middle East. Also, I caught a brief glimpse of Damascus on 9330, with
barely any modulation, but it was quickly swallowed up by the noise and was
not even worth touching until VoA Radio Ashna signed off. Is 3406 USB still
being heard? I haven't seen reports of that in a few days.
Hope you and yours are in good health and spirits and may the good DX be
with you!

"Republic. I like the sound of the word. It means people can live
free, talk free, go or come, buy or sell, be drunk or sober, however
they choose. Some words give you a feeling. Republic is one of those
words that makes me tight in the throat - the same tightness a man
gets when his baby takes his first step or his first baby shaves and
makes his first sound as a man. Some words can give you a feeling
that makes your heart warm. Republic is one of those words."
- Colonel David Stern Crockett (August 17, 1786, died March 6, 1836
at the Alamo.)
