Re: ** MALAYSIA - SARAWAK. (tentative) 5030, RTM Sarawak FM,
Kuching log.
Correxion: Many thanks to Ron Howard for his observations quoted below.
This one was definitely 1000 UTC s/on and 5+1 time pips at 1100 UTC,
so is much more likely to have been CHINA CNR-1 via Beijing.
There was a definite peak at 1048 UTC, which would have corresponded to
Kuching sunrise, and Beijing sunrise was over 20 minutes later at 1109.
This signal had significantly faded by 1100 UTC, thus throwing me off
the track.
Thanks Ron!

Surprisingly RAE not anymore odd 15344v, but close to Morocco 15345.00, only
30 to 40 Hertz away each other. wb.

ARGENTINA. Pleased to hear the RAE IS on 15344.0 or so as early as 1648 Aug
17; thought I heard them say ``atenci?n`` once, but constant het from 15345,
which must be Morocco. I was trying to measure 15344 more closely on the
ATS-909 but at 1657 it had shifted much closer to 15345, still a
lower-pitched het. 1700 6-pip timesignal and talk in unID language, but too
much hash from TV swish. By now I am not sure whether I am hearing Morocco
in Arabic or Argentina in its extra German broadcast, but one of them went
off anyway at 1702, or at least there was no further het. I also had been
distracted by a signal on 15340; see ETHIOPIA [non] (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
ETHIOPIA [non]. While monitoring Argentina on 15344, Aug 17 at 1643, noticed
flute music, unID language talk on poor 15340, 1656 HOA(?) singing, but off
by 1658. Since Morocco is on 15345 at this hour, must be something else.
Looked up later in Aoki, it`s the Monday-only 1600-1700 broadcast of EOTC
Holy Synod Radio, clandestine to Ethiopia in Amharic, via Samara, Russia,
200 kW, 188 degrees (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Peru, 4790, Radio Vision, 0956-1005, Noted a male in Spanish
comments at tune in. This was followed with canned promos.
Back to live comments by a male on the hour. Signal was poor.
(Chuck Bolland, August 18, 2009)
Peru, 4835.42, Radio Maranon, 1004-1015, Noted a person in
Spanish language comments. Signal was very weak. (Chuck
Bolland, August 18, 2009)
Russia, 5920.00, Radio Rossii, 1013-1036, Noted two males in Russian
Language comments. This is mixing with WBOH, but because WBOH is
off freq at about 4 Hertz at 5919.96, Rossii is readable. Checked 5940
KHz for a parallel on Rossii and noted an even weaker signal there.
Rossii on 5920 was fair to good. (Chuck Bolland, August 18, 2009)
China, 5030, CNR One, (PRES) 1037-1045, Noted a male and female in
Chinese language comments. Tuned over this earlier and the signal
was barely audible. Now it's at a fair level. (Chuck Bolland, August 18,
2009)

** AUSTRIA. 15595, Aug 18 at 1506 hymn in English ``I will trust in you``, into
language talk. Umlauts reminded me of Hungarian, so I did not think it was
Turkish, but so listed in Aoki as AWR at 1500-1530 only via Moosbrunn. Careful:
at 1530 Vatican ecumenically takes over 15595 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** CANADA. 9625 with BBCWS at 0458 Aug 18, ID and promos, but it`s really the
end of the first hour of CBC Overnight as then mentioned in outro, now being
carried on the NQ service, but no such ID before 0500 CBC news, just as CBC
Radio 1. Anyhow, back on 9625 for sure ex-9755 excursion (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST) Or should this be UK [non]?
** CHINA. Yay, heard one Firedrake music-only jamming frequency once again, tho
only poorly, this time on 15755, Aug 18 at 1453 and still at 1506. Nothing
heard on any of the previous/usual channels between 8 and 19 MHz. 15755 must be
the latest jump of Sound of Hope via Tajikistan in the 15.7 MHz range. I wonder
if the lack of Firedrakes also means that many other SOH transmissions have
disappeared?
However, times do not match the Aug 18 0400 edition of Aoki showing:
15750*Xi Wang Zhi Sheng SOH 1230-1300 1234567 Chinese 100 131 Dushanbe-Yangiyul
TJK 06848E3829N SOH a09 May 25- 15720
15750*Xi Wang Zhi Sheng SOH 1400-1430 1234567 Chinese 100 131 Dushanbe-Yangiyul
TJK 06848E3829N SOH a09 May 25- 15740
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. RHC check Aug 18 at 1459 found 11760 already off as was 13780 just in
time to clear 13775 for Austria via Canada. Still on with RHC IS were 13760 and
much stronger 13680 aimed usward from the other site (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** LIBYA. 17725, English talk about Africa fading out and in, Aug 18 at 1445;
only poor at best, but certainly V. of Africa as scheduled, and seldom heard. W
and M with heavy accent. A little help from the solar flux would certainly
audiblize it better, but no signs of that. Perhaps approaching seasonal
equinoxial conditions will assist instead. A few minutes later checked for //
21695, but nothing audible on 13m. At 1502, 17725 had declined to a JBA carrier
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U K [non]. 17640 with BBCWS news in English Aug 18 at 1503. Only fair and
not always audible, but BBC-famished North Americans may add this to possible
frequencies: now scheduled as Ascension at 13-17, 114 degrees (and before at
08-13, 17640 is Seychelles, 270 degrees) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST) See also CANADA
** U S A. VOA/IBB Greenville has finally followed my advice to cease
interfering with itself by overlapping with Botswana at 1430 on 17585. Aug 18
at 1428 This Day in History segment was allowed to finish and then dropped
carrier immediately at 1430:00* without any YDD signoff routine. Botswana
takeup to continue same English hour should also have crash-started at *1430:00
but not audible here as it occasionally is. I think they are warming up on
17575 instead (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WWCR shows up on a different new frequency, 15820: announced plans to
test 15830 this week instead of 15825, but there it was really on 15820
instead, Aug 18 at 1408, VG S9+20 signal in preaching. Still 15820 at 1505
check. Trace of squeal possibly at imagination-level, but not really a problem.
Anyhow, I don`t think shifting 5 kHz up or down will have any effect on the
possible squealing. No other broadcasters are scheduled on 15820 or 15830 at
any time, so it seems WWCR may experiment freely (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WWRB, 18770 = 2 x 9385 with Brother Scare, Aug 18 at 1447. I was
still on the inside antenna and could hear it even there, tho certainly
stronger at 1510 check on outside antenna. I am still looking for anyone else
to report DXing this. HF sporadic E assistance one again in play, as evidenced
also by WWCR 15820, WWV well heard on 20000. WWV is only 500 miles away, and
simply will not be heard here on 20000 without Es (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [non]. 15460 with unID language, several speakers, Aug 18 at 1450.
Rather than guess, I will look it up later: R. Liberty in Georgian at 14-15;
Aoki says Biblis, HFCC says Lampertheim, GERMANY anyway. I haven`t yet figured
out how to recognize Georgian right away; any tips with common words, phrases
or characteristic phonemes? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###
