** IRAN. VIRI Russian, Jan 24 at 1519 had good signal on 9575, but low
modulation also cutting out occasionally; tho signal was weaker on // 9735, I
could tell the modulation was much better. Sites are Sirjan and Ahwaz,
respectively. You may have a bunch of 500 kW transmitters, but if you can`t
modulate them properly, what`s the point? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** PHILIPPINES. Classical piano music on 9570, Sat Jan 24 at 1550, fair signal.
PWBR says it`s Radio Veritas Asia, in Russian, but at 1555 English ID and
sign-off, IS and cut carrier at 1555:40. This is daily from 1500. RVA has no
real English broadcasts on schedule, but uses English as continuity language;
that`s something (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SERBIA [non]. Last summer we suggested that IRS should move to 6190 in order
not to collide with Mexico, and perhaps Brasil, on 6185. Dragan Lekic got them
to do it and then IRS was in the clear on 6190. Apparently that idea expired
with 2008, or someone looked at their online schedule, which was never updated,
and figured ``gee, we are supposed to be on 6185``, so back they went!
Tnx to a tip from Kaj Bredahl J?rgensen, Denmark, DSWCI, that the NAm service
was back on 6190 as of Jan 1: indeed at 0137 check Jan 24, I hear nice Mexican
music on 6185 with something barely audible underneath, and nothing on 6190.
This would include English at 0100 and 0200, the former except UT Sundays. IRS
must have a death-wish, but at least we got it resurrected for a semiyear.
You`re welcome (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SLOVAKIA. 9445 with Spanish program about Christmas trees --- isn`t it a bit
late for Xmas programming, Jan 24 at 1553? What station is this? PWBR `2009`
lists BOTH RSI and R. Prague in Spanish at 1530-1600 on 9445, in the W season!
But it`s really RSI as per 1556 sign-off, without ID but with IS, and off
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. KJES, at The Lord`s Ranch near Vado NM, not heard in a long time, so
one wonders if they have been more or less inactive. But there it was Jan 24 at
1516, YL with religious lesson in English, modulation very low on fair 11715
signal. I see in WRTH 2009 that besides the main 50 kW transmitter, they have a
5 kW backup, so that may explain poor signals and/or modulation at times. US SW
stations are supposed to use 50 kW at least, but if you`re on the backup of
necessity, that is a legitimate excuse. This station has always stayed
on-message, never straying, never selling any airtime to outsiders in order to
finance its own output or obviously needed upkeep (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. As others have noted, the best chance to hear DXing With Cumbre has
been deleted by World Harvest Radio, replaced by yet another gospel huxter:
Saturday 1530 on WHRI 11785, as happened again Jan 24, following the Hmong
sesquihour (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. For the past eight years there has been an ``Acting Presidential
Radio Address``, since Bush and his cronies stole two elexions. Now there is a
real Presidential Radio Address, so I am removing the `Acting` from entries in
my Monitoring Reminders Calendar. Presumably the original airing is still
Saturdays at 1506 UT, availablized on many radio networks but carriage depends
on each station: it would have been interesting to compare which ones added or
subtracted it following The Transition. Even in Bush territory it was hard to
find, with most stations preoccupied with their own formats and why give away 4
valuable minutes of airtime which could be crammed with commercials instead?
There is no such thing as a public service requirement.
The Address is also scheduled on AFRTS, so I reconfirmed that it is still
running, with Pres. Obama heard Saturday Jan 24 at 1730 on 12133.5-USB.
Scheduled repeat is 0230 UT Sundays, and presumably on most if not all the
other AFRTS SSB frequencies from Florida and other sites. And each followed by
the Republican response, which I did not bother to keep listening for.
The two are also scheduled each Saturday on C-SPAN 1, but that programming is
so flexible, that you can never depend on their following through. In the last
few years there was a fairly reliable slot around 2322 UT Saturdays, just
before their quasi-DX program, The Communicators, which almost always starts a
few minutes before 2330; but that seems no longer to be the case.
The online C-SPAN schedule for Jan 24 as consulted at 1740 UT, showed the
Presidential Radio Address (no, mention of Republican response, but surely that
is understood) at: 1942 UT Saturday; 0048 and 0739 UT Sunday. Of course now
there is video to go with Obama, tnx to his use of YouTube, which already
started months ago in the campaign; that also means it is ondemand and you
don`t have to try to catch it on scheduled AFRTS, C-SPAN or other broadcasts

Sounded like they were really having a good time with lots of laughter, etc.
Some show tune type mx as well. Sigs surprisingly good and beamed at
eastern Europe.
7530 CLAN (UZBEKISTAN), V. of Free Radio, heard at 1617 on 24 Jan in KR
talk and some slow pop mx. According to WRTH 2009 this is a rlg
clandestine. Strange name for all that. Very poor signals, but may have
been due to overall conditions.

** SERBIA [non]. Glenn, Did you ever monitor the 0100-0130 or 0200-0230 English
language broadcasts of IRS (International Radio Serbia) on 6190 kHz this year?
The reason I ask, is because I did listen to the 0100-0130 and the
0200-0230 English language broadcasts of IRS on UT Friday, 1/23/09
and I believe my receiver was tuned to 6190 kHz (not 6185 kHz). I
will attempt to check this during their next scheduled English
language broadcast to North America. Incidentally, the IRS website
http://glassrbije.org/E/index.php?option=com_content&task=blogcategory&id=21&Itemid=34
currently lists 6190 kHz (not 6185 kHz) as the frequency for these broadcasts.
True, their website may still be reflecting old 2008 frequencies instead of
updated 2009 frequencies. IRS reception was good here on 1/23/09 for both the
0100 and 0200 broadcasts.
[Later:] I monitored the Serbian language broadcast of IRS (International Radio
Serbia) from 0055 to 0130 on a frequency of 6190 kHz on UT Sunday, 1/25/09. As
the schedule posted at the IRS website indicates, the 0100-0130 English
language broadcast only occurs Monday-Saturday. I also received the 0200-0230
English language broadcast of IRS on 6190 on 1/25/09. IS from 0158-0159, ID at
0200, news from 0200-0211, musical selections from 0211-0227, ID and contact
info at 0227, IS from 0228-0229, signoff at 0229. IRS reception was good here
from 0055-0130 and fair (some noise & mild fading) from 0158-0229. I received
no IRS signal on 6185 kHz from 0055-0230 on 1/25/09. Perhaps 6190 kHz is alive
and well (Bill Hodges, Atlanta, GA; Kenwood R-2000, dxldyg via DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
More than perhaps: never mind my previous report. No, I hadn`t heard IRS for
sure on either frequency lately. Perhaps the 6185 report on 1/1 was an
aberration. And when I did find them missing the night before during 0130-0200,
that was because they are in a semi-hour break between the English
transmissions. I was thinking they would be on in Serbian at that time without
checking the schedule. Tnx for clearing this up (Glenn Hauser, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
