Colegas.
Aproveitei esses dias para descansar e ? claro fazer dx. ?s vezes me surpreendo
com a minha vontade de fazer dx. Sinto tanto prazer quando consigo captar algo
interessante que levo horas ouvindo r?dio! Essa semana houve diversos
questionamentos a respeito do degen consumir pilhas, para os colegas terem uma
id?ia eu estou ouvindo r?dio, contando sem as interrup??es, mais de 7 horas,
com volume 21 no fone de ouvido e a informa??o da carga da bateria est? no
m?ximo, s?o as baterias originais do degen. A propaga??o continua ruim, (sou eu
quem est? se tornando repetitivo ou a propaga??o? rss). Essa noite, de domingo
para segunda-feira, um alarme de carro ou casa tocou a noite toda e n?o me
deixou dormir. Liguei para a pol?cia e o policial disse que n?o tinha viatura
dispon?vel no momento por que enviaram a maioria para Salvador devido o
carnaval. O alarme s? veio ser desligado as 0900 horas local, como n?o consigo
dormi pela manh?, mesmo perdendo noite, estou no ar desde a madrug!
ada. Nessa madrugada aproveitei para uns dx e temos no log umas "figurinhas"
novas: WWV em 2500 kHz, R NIKKEY 1 em 3925 kHz, R Austr?lia em 9710 kHz, KFBS
Saipan em 11580 kHz e T8WH World Harvest R.4 em 15680 kHz. Fiquei surpreso em
10000 kHz o ON n?o est? interferindo na WWV. Em 9575 kHz a Family Radio est?
competindo na freq. com a R Med 1, acho que eles deveriam rever essa freq.
nesse hor?rio pois a Med 1 sempre chega bem por aqui no nordeste interferindo
consideravelmente a tx. Aqui chove com trovoadas, (ufa! At? que enfim, haja sol
de mais de 30? todos os dias!) As 2200 UTC os ru?dos da rede el?trica se foram,
acho que devido a chuva os fios deixaram de fazer aquele caracter?stico
estalos, mas infelizmente essa melhora n?o foi seguida da propaga??o, pelo
menos at? essa hora, espero que mais tarde melhore. As 2245 UTC eu precisei
parar as escutas, nova chuva acompanhada de raios e trov?es, bem na hora de uma
abertura da propaga??o para a Oceania, onde captei a HCJB da A!
ustr?lia e a Nova Zel?ndia.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1
** COLOMBIA. 5910, good signal Feb 24, enjoying nice bouncy music from Marfil
Est?reo, pausing at 0700 for ID including calls HKI79, back to music which
unseemed religious, but I couldn`t really understand the lyrix. Call of this SW
transmitter is axually HJDH (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. Voice of Indonesia, ``the sound of dignity``, back on 9525.0 for
a change instead of 9525.9, so different transmitter at Cimanggis? Feb 24 at
1445 during some great drumming and singing, 1449 IDs in Malay and English,
1450 opening English broadcast 10 minutes early! With program summary, 1451
switch to another YL with news, heavier accent and muffled mike, so harder to
copy. Lead story something about compensation for Aceh tsunami victims, as
repeated at news closing 1501. The clock may be off in the studio, but the
transmitter site was closer, cutting this off at 1503:12* after Perspective
commentary about Hillary had just started at 1502. No QRM before or after 1500,
but constant self-inflicted hum (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INTERNATIONAL WATERS [and non]. 8122, Amigos Net on USB, Feb 24 at 1428 with
Don Anderson, Oxnard, California, giving his weather forecasts, especially
winds, for vessels along the western coast of Mexico, such as recommending when
would be a good time for a sailboat in a particular place to `make the
crossing`. 1432 various boats in contacts, 1435 net control on the Jacaranda
announced QSY to 4-bravo = 4149 kHz, which I did not bother to check at this
late hour, as signals were barely audible on 8 MHz, that net presumably
starting at 1415, or at least that`s when Anderson joins in. There was also QRM
from SSB slightly to one side of 8122 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. KEOR, 1120, Catoosa/Sperry/Tulsa, off the air again when checked
around 2030 UT Feb 23, and 1700 UT Feb 24. Maybe the days of oldies over and
over and over are over, pending transfer to Catholic diocese (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SOUTH AFRICA. Channel Africa, 17770, better than usual Feb 24 at 1513 with
news, 1518 mentioning 9625 as only frequency during this second hour of the
English broadcast. So they are still confused in the studio about what
frequencies are really on the air from Meyerton (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U K [non]. BBCWS via Ascension, 27 degrees, 6005, Feb 24 at 0701 with news
and off the air promptly at 0706* after ``and that`s the latest BBC news``.
Certainly strange scheduling, but no accident. Evidently the transmitter is not
needed immediately at 0700 for something else, so why not squeeze in a little
more news? Aoki shows until 0705, but this cannot be as BBCWS news always runs
until 6 past the hour so it will match up with NPR news timings. (I had also
noticed previously the newsreader naming herself just before the optional
cutaway at :04, another innovation.) HFCC shows until 0710 but this is also
incorrect. EiBi has it right, until 0706. Is anyone aware of any other BBCWS SW
transmission in English which does this? Possibly BBCWS has a commitment to
feed some local African relay station the news at 0700. Before 0700, 6005 is
hard to hear due to RHC on 6000, but after 0700 we get Mali clearly on 5995 and
BBC on 6005 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 5920, Feb 24 at 0650 check and still 0659, nothing but a big open
carrier from WBOH; I was checking whether they played the Star Spangled Banner
at the same time as three nights before. Quickly switched to WTJC 9370 at 0653,
which was just barely audible and not playing the SSB (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** VATICAN [and non]. 9660, Feb 24 at 0656, RA Brandon 10 kW with rock music,
SAH of 3.7 Hz; what could that be? At 0658 Vatican IS started. Did not monitor
further, assuming VR was about to start a transmission, but checking EiBi
later, found that VR, 500 kW, 200 degrees from SMG, is supposed to be ending
9660 at 0658 after English at 0630, while RA goes on until 0800 (Glenn Hauser,

Colleagues.
I am sending the log in English. Excuse the errors, use the google translator
because I do not speak English.
I took these days to rest and make it clear dx. This morning and decided to
have some dx log in a few "FIGURINES" new: WWV on 2500 kHz, R Nikkey 1 in
3925 kHz, R Australia on 9710 kHz, 11580 kHz KFBS in Saipan and T8WH World
Harvest R.4 on 15680 kHz. I was surprised at 10000 kHz the NAO is not
interfering with the WWV. 9575 kHz on the Family Radio is competing in the
frequency with R Med 1, I think they should review the frequency this time
as the Med 1 always comes out here in the northeast and interfering
considerably tx

** CUBA [and non]. Checking out what Radio Rep?blica is doing: Feb 24 at 2237,
surprised to find it unjammed via WRMI 9955 with intriguing talk about human
evolution, brain size, language and music, concluding with some hypothetical
Neanderthal music at 2240-2242, then ID giving only frequency 9810, 6-11 pm de
lunes a domingo, i.e. the new non-WRMI relay at 2300-0400, not yet on the air
at this moment, and surely Wednesday-Tuesday rather than Monday-Sunday; why
don`t they just say todos los d?as? R.R. does have quite a bit of apolitical
programming which need not be jammed, but I doubt the DentroCubans were
deliberately relenting against the hated, wormy, FueraCubans. BTW, Cuba`s
public venom is directed against Radio Mart?, with Radio Rep?blica`s existence
hardly ever even acknowledged.
Meanwhile, a wall of noise on 9565 against Radio Mart?. 9955 had the usual het
at this time of day, presumably the perpetually off-frequency Taiwan
transmitter scheduled for RFI relay after 2300, but at 2253 jamming had also
started to appear on 9955; by 2300 it had overwhelmed WRMI when I wanted to
detect whether it was parallel 9810 --- probably not.
So I was standing by for 9810 to come on; at 2257 jamming already grinding away
against nothing; at 2259 Sackville DRM shifted from 9795-9800-9805 to
9785-9790-9795 for TDP`s dance music, thank you very much. Jamming increased
against 9810, but I could still hear R. Rep?blica cut on about 15 seconds after
2300, surely via Sackville too.
Earlier at 2235, I also noted the DentroCuban Jamming Command on 11930, with at
least two strong non-synchronized modulated pulses against nothing, Radio Mart?
having signed off that channel at 2200. The pulses periodically coincided, but
mostly were offset different fraxions of a second as they were emitted at
slightly different rates, deliberately to be more annoying if they had had a
victim (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GUAM [and non]. Tuned in 11850 at 2229 Feb 24 just as a formal sign-off
announcement was running in English, from Adventist Broadcasting Service,
100,000 watts. Maybe Guam or KSDA was mentioned earlier, but not now until
2229:30*, the conclusion of scheduled semihour in Indonesian. Radio Free Asia
[see U S A [non]] took over 11850 a few sex later (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** NETHERLANDS [non]. 15280, Feb 24 at 2218, VG signal in Indonesian, but deep
and selective fading. What does PWBR `2009` say? Nothing. Must be RN; who else
would be talking about Schipol, bits of Dutch and even English mixed in with
the Indonesian, and 2220 RNW ID. But then at 2221 I notice that the audio is
hiccuping, every few seconds looping back and repeating two or three times a
few syllables already just heard. This is extremely annoying, especially if you
really understand Indonesian. And also ruins song in English which follows at
2222. Just as bad if not worse at 2236 recheck when an IDstring ran in Dutch,
English, French, Spanish, Portuguese and something else. Is anyone paying
attention at Hilversum or transmitter site? I guess a satellite feed problem.
15280 is not Madagascar as first assumed. This is the 2200-2257 transmission
via IBB sites, which changed from Tinang at the beginning of B-08, to Tinian
for a sesquiweek, and finally to
SAIPAN since 7 November. Hard to believe it is beamed due SW from there rather
than NE toward US. But a refund is in order (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A [non]. Shortly after KSDA finished with 11850 [see GUAM], Feb 24 at
*2230, a seamless transition to R. Free Asia, opening in English with Khmer to
follow. At first I thought they said ``Thai`` as the name has an almost-long I,
the way RFA pronounces it, as I have noticed before and must be closer to the
proper pronunciation in that language itself. In next few minutes, YL announcer
mentioned Malraux, Reagan amd others in the same breath. Wonder what that was
about. This signal, much better than KSDA had been, easily held its own against
adjacent WYFR on 11855. RFA`s open carrier was probably already on for a
crash-start when I tuned in KSDA a minute earlier, suppressing its loudness but
also holding off WYFR`s sideband. This is TINIAN at 278 degrees (Glenn Hauser,
