** MALAYSIA [and non]. Finally something more than just a het around 6050, Feb
10 at 1400, timesignal and ID as R. Suara Islam; it sounded like the next word
was Indonesia, but must have been Kuala Lumpur per frequent logs by Ron Howard,
California. The het was still there and presumably this audio was axually on
6049.60 as he has measured it. Then only the het and seemingly open carrier for
next few minutes as no further modulation audible. Ron says this transmitter
switches from the Asyik FM program to the Suara Islam program at 1400, and the
transmitter is on the air only irregularly as late as 1540.
Per WRTH this is the Kajang site, near Kuala Lumpur in West Malaysia, 100 kW,
but consulting Aoki, on 6050 you find only the East Malaysian station listed,
10 kW RTM Sibu, Sarawak, and nothing about KL, very misleading, as Sibu is
apparently inactive. This confusion is not helped by RTM keeping registering
them both, with Kajang as only 50 kW.
Listings agree that the only other transmitters on 6050 at 1400 are Lhasa
beamed WNW, and HCJB, neither very likely here that late, but HCJB is certainly
dominant earlier in the morning (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO [and non]. Slightly wavering het on 6105 in Russian, Feb 10 at 1522,
presumably from XEQM Mérida around 6104.8, and thus with a slightly unstable
carrier. 6105.0 is CRI via Shijiazhuang site, 500 kW, 315 degrees, but during
this semihour IBB Tinian is also listed with VOA Uzbek, 250 kW, 305 degrees.
Unfortunately, there is lots more Eurasian usage of 6105 during the rest of the
day. So far, this is about as good as it gets for XEQM reception here; hard to
believe it`s even 250 watts (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. Feb 9 at 2242 noted strong open carrier on 7505 --- no, it`s more
like 7505.2. Left a receiver on there for hours, and stayed unmodulated, but
weakened a great deal by 0200 Feb 10 when music was audible, the sign-on time
of WRNO, which this no doubt was all along. Getting ready to expand programming
from 3 hours a day?
WRNO`s open carrier was running again on off-frequency 7505.2, Feb 10 at 1515
check, and still at 1704 recheck --- tho it`s supposedly authorized on this
frequency only between 23 and 16 UT. But that did not stop them before when
``testing`` 24 hours. Maybe they are `burning in` a new component.
Only other stations currently listed on 7505 are: 14-16, YFR via Moldova, 300
kW, 116 degrees, but I am not sure this is really in use; 1630-1730 IBB Tinian,
RFA Burmese, 250 kW, 279 degrees (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###
