China, 5030, China National Radio 1, 1025-1035 With the usual Chinese
comments
from a male and female. The AOKI database says this is being transmitted
via Beijing
number 572. Checked the list for a parallel and found it on 6175 KHz using
with the
same site and number, Beijing 572. Both signals were fair. (Chuck
Bolland, February
15, 2009)
Cuba, 5025, Radio Rebelde, 1000-1100 This station is off the air for this
time period
today. Nothing heard on this freq. (Chuck Bolland, February 15, 2009)

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=WINDOWS-1251; delsp=yes;
format=flowed
Location: North-East part of the St.Petersburg city
Receiver: Sangean 909

All time are in UTC

7165 1550-1615 ETH Voice of Ethiopia, 14/02, Arabic/English, OM talk
about Eritrea, 1600 IS, ID as "This is the External service of Radio
Ethiopia?, YL/OM talks and local songs - fair-good till 1603, then
poor when Eritrea came on the frequency from 7175 with DRM-like jamming
15120 0633-0640 NIG Voice of Nigeria, 15/02, English OM dialogues on
local subjects - very strong, but poor-fair only due to the CRI
powerful signal on the same channel
15610 0705-0730 UZB CVC, 15/02, English, a lot of modern English pop
and rock songs, many short ann with IDs and mentions of their
cvcradio.in site - very strong and good (SINPO as 55555/55444)
11590 *0957-1027 GUM KTWR Agana, 15/02, Chinese, IS, ID as "KTWR

** BRAZIL [and non]. RNA, 11780, Feb 15 at 0633, again putting extremely
distorted spurs plus and minus 50 kHz, causing severe interference to RFI on
11830, and on 11730 ratcheting the top side of RNZI 11725 requiring one to
side-tune lower for it. Previously the spurs have been more like 58-59 kHz away
from fundamental. This was so heavy on RFI that I had a hard time identifying
the language they were speaking. It`s supposed to be Portuguese, via South
Africa, but sounded mostly like French; perhaps there were extended excerpts of
something originally in French. But hey, no more audio dropouts on RNA itself,
listening to 6185 and 11780, tho the 11780 modulation was a bit low, which may
correlate with putting out lots of distorted modulation on the spurs. The
sign-on time of RNA varies by day of week, but now that DST is over, should be
one hour later than during the past quadrimonth (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** CUBA. RHC, 11760 and // somewhat undermodulated 12000, Sunday Feb 15 at
1435-1454 ``La Cultura en Cuba`` this time featuring classical pianist Fran
Fern?ndez who is about to perform a 50th-anniversary concert. I had never heard
of him so Googled, and got around a megahit starting with
http://www.franfernandez.com/ --- but that`s a different Fran Fern?ndez,
Spanish guitarist born in Granada in 1981! It seems there are lots of other
Fran Fern?ndezes such as a makeup artist/hair stylist in Tampa. Refining the
search by adding Cuba, one gets only 666 hits but still too much chaff. Adding
pianist gets it down to 166, such as
http://www.thecubaexperience.co.uk/articles.asp?id=286 where he is referred to
both as Fran and Frank; and this long interview with him:
http://www.cmbfradio.cu/cmbf/musica/musica_5.htm
Tho Esperanto was missing last Sunday, it was back on RHC this Sunday Feb 15,
at 1501 on 11760, and also on 13760 at 1510 check, so unclear if another
overrun error, but supposedly scheduled on 11760 only. OM announcer made a
mistake right away, stressing Am?riko rather than Amer?ko as required by
inflexible Esperanto rules (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also
VENEZUELA [non]
** INDONESIA. VOI, 9525.9 at sufficient level for a change, Feb 15 at 1348, YL
talking about laws and regulations on investing in Indonesia, citing them by
5-digit number, MEGO. 1349 outro that this was the weekly Miscellany program,
ID in passing, 1351 Music Corner. Must be running late as these usually start
earlier in the semi-hour. Yes: English hour wrapup not until 1407 and into
Malay (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SPAIN. DRM noise audible on 9775-9780-9785, Feb 15 at 0640. What`s this? REE
as scheduled from Noblejas, 05-09, 100 kW at 50 degrees (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U K [and non]. Feb 15 at 1325 found strong co-channel interference over PMS
via WWCR, 13845, and zero-beat to her, central Asian language, then classical
music until cut off at 1330* with no further announcement. I had the misfortune
to tune in during the only semi-hour per day when WWCR does not have 13845 to
itself worldwide. Per Aoki, this is the Kyrgyz service of BBC via Rampisham,
500 kW, 62 degrees, which started Dec 6; IIRC, BBC was banned from local FM
relays in Kyrgyzstan so had to go back to outmoded SW (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** VENEZUELA [non]. Unlike last Sunday, this Sunday Feb 15 there was no RNV CI
broadcast at 1500 via Cuba on 11680, and once again there was no sign either of
Al?, Presidente on 11875, 13680 or 13750, nor at recheck 1603 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 6074, stood by for 8GAL V/CQ marker at 1400 Feb 15 after R.
Rossii closing timesignal. 8GAL did not start until about 1400:38 until
1401:25; just barely audible, not helped by my leaving the attenuator engaged,
having had to use it on 31m to hear VOI 9526 without cross mod from PPP via
WWCR 9980 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. As I was monitoring 13845 and the BBC/WWCR collision, noticed SSB
on the hi side, Feb 15 at 1326; tactical net, probably US military, one ID as
``Catskill``; did not have time to measure frequency but was 13848 plus or
minus 1 kHz. Gave time as 0829, which would be UT -5 = EST, off by a couple
sesquiminutes. Hey, it could really be in the Catskills, but somehow, I doubt
it. Searching the 19,775 posts so far in the UDXF yg, separately on 13847,
13848, 13849 and Catskill did not produce a single relevant hit (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

A newly launched radio station in Samoa says it will promote Samoan music
including paying royalties for the first time. FETU FM, which has started
broadcasting on february 09, offers a music-based programme format with an
emphasis on original works by Samoan performers. The owners, Apulu Lance
Polu and Cook Islander George Pitt, aim to encourage local talent by paying
them their dues.Apulu says it?s the right thing to do. He says the
Intellectual Property Act, which came into force in 1998, provides
copyright
protection for songwriters and musicians.Up to now no collecting agency has
been established but nevertheless FETU FM is making a commitment to pay
royalties.Apulu says the fact there is no official collecting agency will
not be used as an excuse to deny local artists their fair share of the
commercial cake. (info by Radio New Zealand International)
