Papua New Guinea, 3385, NBC, East New Britain, 0936-1012,
At tune in noticed a weak signal here with a male in comments.
A automatic type signal was also noted on this freq making copy of
ENB difficult. The signal improved slightly during the period however.
Before the hour, a couple of minutes of music was heard. After
the hour a female joined the program and she and a male talked together.
The signal never improved well enough to even identify the language
here. (Chuck Bolland, June 30, 2009)
Bolivia, 6134.80, Radio Santa Cruz, 1020-1030, Noted a male in
Spanish comments which were followed with music. Signal is almost
gone for the morning. (Chuck Bolland, June 30, 2009)

** ASCENSION. After trolling 7100-7200 for violators, first signal I
encountered was 7205, June 30 at 0556, tonal language, probably Hausa. What
does PWBR `2009` say? Nothing listed. Off at 0559:30* but back on a few sex
later, slightly weaker in French. Uplooked later online, it`s BBCWS, 250 kW as
scheduled Hausa into French, also switching 65 to 70 degree beams which
shouldn`t make much difference here or there (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake check June 30: at 1313 fair on 13970, unheard on any higher
frequency; at 1331 very poor on 8400, not 9000 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** CUBA. Rechecked RHC at 2127 UT June 29 for the publicized Mesa Redonda show
to have started at 2100. The special M.R.-only frequency 9640 was on the air
but now // many of the regulars, 11770, 11800, 13760, 13790; while 11760 was in
ID, 2030 opening French. Could not tell if 17660 was on or not.
RHC does it again: wrong language Portuguese in the middle of the night, June
30 at 0553 on 6140. This time the other three 49m channels, 6060, 6010 and 6000
were in correct English, or rather // music at the time.
A quick check of all RHC frequencies 9-18 MHz at 1510 UT found only one on the
air, 13760, mentioning a pending press conference, unlike the last two days
with extended transmissions on several frequencies because of the Honduran
coup. But more may show up later as antennas and transmitters are rejiggered
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** HONDURAS. Just in case, checked for the two 90m SW stations which are
sporadically active, June 30 at 0548 --- not even a carrier on 3340 between CHU
and REE; when HRMI is active it does run this late or all-night; nothing on
3250v either (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. Something is very wrong at Cimanggis: VOI, normally in the clear
on 9525 during the 1300 English hour, but June 30 at 1321 accompanied by
multiple carriers on each side producing identical hets amongst them, of
somewhat more than 1000 Hz. Very difficult to sort out on my equipment but a
spectrum display would have been intriguing.
I think this is all coming out of VOI, rather than interference or jamming.
Possibly they are operating more than one transmitter by mistake, or a single
one has big problems. No other audio heard, but some of the offset carriers may
have had same audio as the central one.
Ron Howard in California was monitoring at same time, and found two audios, one
above and one below 9525, plus the big hets.
I was making a point of checking this on Tuesday, and reconfirmed that as they
have been doing since April, it was yet another weekly excursion to RRI
Banjarmasin, as I could make out the regular announcer`s voice from there and
Banj was mentioned after VOI ID at 1332.
The cacophony was constant until 1357 when CRI carrier came on as usual making
matters even worse. Possibly with very tight selectivity and/or notching one
could have made VOI listenable, but a better solution would have been for them
to fix the problem (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NETHERLANDS [non]. Surprised to hear unscheduled Spanish on 15580, June 30
at 1308, interview about Honduras and Zelaya`s plan to reclaim his office, soon
IDed as ``La Matinal de Radio Nederland para las Am?ricas``, into another
interview with a Buenos Aires professor. But cut off abruptly at 1314:30*, back
on at *1318-1325* when cut off abruptly again as the topic had shifted to US
pullout from Iraq; still off when I quit monitoring at 1335.
What`s going on here? Like RHC, has RNW added more transmissions because of the
Honduran crisis? RN does not normally have Spanish at this hour on any
frequency, ending at 1227 on 9715, 9895 both Bonaire. The only appearance of
15580 on RNW`s current schedule is for the YFR English test at 0001-0158, but
previously used during that bihour for RNW`s own Spanish. Perhaps this was just
a test or a total mistake; controlled by a timer with am and pm upmixed?
However, VOA uses 15580 later from S?o Tom? and Botswana, so this could also
have emanated thence, or even Greenville as quite a strong, steady signal. The
audio was somewhat lower-fi, I thought, than we are accustomed to from Bonaire
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. After a couple of dry days for sporadic E here (tho it was superb
further east, with trans-Atlantic multi-hop FM!), it`s back June 30 at 1312
with Tony Al?mo and the squeal inbooming via WWCR 15825, as well as PMS on
13845, so you know what I do next: check 18770 for 2 x 9385 WWRB. And there he
is, Brother Scare, barely audible with fades at 1315. MUF built up to channel 2
by 1430, channel 4 with an NAB Nightlight at 1447 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX

BBC to tighten programme costs and save ?1.9 bn
The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) is targeting a five per cent net
reduction in programme prices each year for the next five years, prompting a
tightening of the belt to tide over the harsh economic climate.
Across the BBC, the plan is to make savings of ?1.9 billion in this Licence Fee
period. BBC DG Mark Thompson revealed the plans while speaking on
'Accountability In A Time Of Change' at the Chartered Institute of Public
Finance and Accountancy Annual Conference in Manchester.
"This is an environment where pay restraint at every level must make sense. In
this year's pay round, the people with us earning below ?60,000 got a flat rate
increase of ?450 and those earning ?60,000 will not have any general increase
at all. We have suspended all bonuses across the organisation."
Thompson reiterated that the UK pubcaster will protect programmes and services
over the next few difficult years. "As far as we can, we will also protect jobs
and so also our investment in independent production. We can only do those
things because we began the difficult process of reform nearly five years ago.
And even so, the economics are tight."
Thompson pointed out that all broadcasters including relatively well-funded
parts of the public sector like the BBC face "some difficult years." The wider
downturn and the level of public indebtedness will inevitably colour the entire
climate for public spending decisions, he added.
