Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8"

ID announcements at 0929. Rooster crows at 0930 & Portuguese
talk. Strong. Very good signal. (Brian Alexander, PA)
** BRAZIL. 6009.97, Radio Inconfidencia, 0845-0915, Sept 12, local

5995 to 9635 earlier than the usual 0800 by mistake. (Brian Alexander,

** ANGUILLA. Caribbean Beacon still off the air Sept 12, nothing on 6090 at
0510 check, nor on 11775 at various daytime chex. Must be a fairly serious
problem. Bryan Clark in NZ, however, says MW 1610 was still heard Sept 7 at
0503, so it`s only about SW (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BIAFRA [non]. Voice of Biafra International was still on 15665 WHRI Sept 4
for the Friday-only 19-20 broadcast, but Sept 11 they had made the switch to
17520. Checking at 1915, at first could not hear anything on either frequency,
but persisting on 17520, very weak carrier briefly faded up enough to recognize
The Orator. Alan Roe in England also confirms 17520, JBA at 1900, and not
audible at 1915. The question is, why the change now and is it really for the
better in the target area? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. It`s rare for both WWV and WWVH to be inaudible on 10000 kHz,
without a total blackout; but Sept 12 at 2245 that was the case allowing some
much weaker tix and pips to be audiblized with BFO helping. One station was
making a beep every ten seconds correctly, and altho I could hear a murmur of
audio, could not make any voice out. The 10-second pattern fits for PPE,
Observat?rio Nacional, Rio de Janeiro, the new timesignal station which came on
a few months ago with less than 1 kW. Also at the top of each minute there were
three heavy beeps at seconds 58, 59 and 60. Is that PPE too? Some weaker tix
from I know not where, and some station added binary code at 2249-2251. By 2252
I could hear a trace of the same pitch tone as on WWV 5000. Listened carefully
at 2259-2301 but did not hear any announcements when at least WWV and WWVH
would have given full IDs (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also USA:
2500
** CHINA [and non]. 7365 with mixture of two Chinese stations, Sept 12 at 1317.
Per Aoki it`s VOA Cantonese via Tinang and CNR1, which now becomes a jammer
unlike before 1300. 7305 with single Chinese audio was not // the main signal
on 7365, so the latter must have been VOA.
Firedrake, Sept 12 at 1314: fair on 9000, none on 8400; at 1320 fair on 10210;
none heard higher.
15220, CRI in Mandarin via Sackville, VG signal as always, Sat Sept 12 at 1428
gave me pause as ``O Sole Mio`` was being performed in Italian. After
interruption for jingle and ID, from 1434 onwards all the announcements were in
English, apparently by the conductor from the podium of a concert recorded in
China, including: Star Trek medley of TV and movie themes; Crouching Tiger,
Hidden Dragon themes featuring Yo Yo Ma; La Donna ? Mobile, by quite a tenor as
earlier but not one of the Big 3; Magnificent Seven theme; Bridge Over Troubled
Waters by children`s and women`s chorus of the China National Symphony
Orchestra; 1454 cut back to Chinese for outro talking over music with e-mail
pronounced in English sounding like [email protected] and 1456 dramatic promo, ID
with [email protected], 1500 IS and ID for another hour. I was almost convinced
some of the announcements were in Cantonese, but skeds show all in Mandarin.
Not to mention English (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. RHC re-jumbles which frequencies are in English and which in
unscheduled Spanish after 0500: Sept 12 at 0513, 6140 and 6060 were in English,
while 6120, 6010 and JBA 6000 were in Spanish. 6010 had been the most reliable
channel for English tho sometimes missing completely (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** ECUADOR [non]. HCJB test via CVC Chile, 11745 ex-11755, Sept 12 at 0035
check, Brazilian service, VG signal unlike 11755 previously which they left to
avoid RHC 11760, and still not // Pifo direct on 11920. Competing against
itself? 24 hours later, not heard on 11745, brief test period presumably over
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. 4750, Sept 12 at 1257, rapid Indonesian talk right thru hourtop
past 1302, seemingly atop some co-channel. RRI Makassar is certainly the prime
60m signal from Indonesia of the few that remain (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** IRAN [non]. 17670 with some really enjoyable music with 4 beats at first,
presumably in Persian, since it`s Radio Farda, Sept 12 at 1413, // much weaker
17755 colliding with Spain, on the air this early only on weekends per Aoki.
Farda sites are Wertachtal and Biblis, GERMANY, respectively (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KUWAIT [and non]. RNV, 11670 via CUBA, Sept 12 at 2224 in Spanish, with
continuous roar of QRDRM from the hi side, i.e. MOI Kuwait 11670-11675-11680 as
scheduled to NAm also starting at 2200. The AM QRM to the DRM must also have
been significant, probably enough to ruin decoding (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. As suspected the day before, WBCQ did leave the second transmitter,
9330-CUSB on the air during WORLD OF RADIO 1477, Friday Sept 11 at 1900-1930,
much better here than // 7415. Hope this applies Tuesday thru Friday for all
the 1900 WOR repeats (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. Unlike Friday when it signed off by talking over the National Anthem
at 1259, on Saturday Sept 12, WINB was still on 9265 at 1315, with a
non-Brother Stair preacher not // 9385 WWRB, but probably became // later that
Sabbath with usual asynchronicity (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9825, not a familiar frequency for a gospel huxter, Sept 12 at 0448,
YL preacher with very bad miking, scraping sounds, probably amateur using
amateur equipment (and I don`t mean ham); could be new frequency for Radio
Africa, it was so bad! 0458 cut off for outro by pro announcer with good
modulation, giving her Georgia address and website, but signal faded out before
could get ID if there was any, and no further reception, apparently signed off.
Aoki says this is WHRI in use only on day 1=Sunday at 0400-0500, but this was
day 7=UT Saturday. WHR does its best to confuse everyone about days of week on
its online schedules. EiBi has it right as Saturday only (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9825, Sept 12 at 2305 onward with continuous light music, some jazzy,
never any announcements. VG signal and during pauses could hear DentroCuban
Jamming Command noise. Kept listening and finally at 2359 VOA YDD sign-off
announcement and off by 2401. Per EiBi and Aoki this is supposed to be the
Spanish hour from VOA. Did they lose the entire feed forcing fill music from
Greenville? How hard is it to get a reliable signal from Washington? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. Is WWV having some transmitter problems, or is it just strange
propagation? 2500 normally remains audible here considerably after sunrise (but
not all day); however, Sept 12 at 1256 could not hear any trace of it on 2500,
tho 5000 was fine as usual.
Then at 2245-2300 I could not hear WWV, or even WWVH on 10000, normally a good
daytime frequency, allowing in some weaker pips including, I think, BRAZIL,
q.v. (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1329.9, approximately, still hearing a het on 1330 from an
off-frequency station, Sept 12 at 0527; but no longer one off 1280 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 4865, TADIL-A beeps at 1305 Sept 12, much more noticeable with
BFO on; these had 4 short beeps before the longer one with data burst. May not
be an intruder since this is not only a broadcast band but a utility band,
depending on location (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 9600.4, not hearing the very weak het all the time, but it was
audible again Sept 12 at 1318, possibly XEYU? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST) ###

Hi,
Some tips;
4790 11.9 0310 Radio Vision, Peru with a religious programming. No
identification though, so presumed. S 3. Bj?rn Fransson
5025 11.9 0208 Radio Rebelde enormously strong. S 4. Bj?rn Fransson
5950 10.9 1635 Qualified guess: Voice of Tigray Revolution in Mekelle with very
good reception S 4! Bj?rn Fransson
6585 10.9 1840 UNID Italian(s), talking rubbish. It seemed like several people
talking from different places + music in the background. I think I hear Italian
radio amateurs having a party on the shortwave band. Bj?rn Fransson
7165 10.9 1800 Radio Ethiopia finished its French programme with surprisingly
good audibility. At 18.01 started a programme from Voice of Eritrea in
Tigrinya. S 3-4. BEFF
QSL: Filmon Yohannes, [email protected] , replied with a non-data e-mail:
"Dear Sear Bj?rn Fransson, thank you for your email, we appreciate for taking
your time to write us with all the information. I am not expert in the
techniques of FM Radio Transmission, but personally i was not aware that Voice
of Eritrea (VoE), can be somehow heard as far as in Sweden. As you pointed out,
VoE is transmitted or broadcasted from the heart of Ethiopia. although VoE
primary listeners are in Eritrea, we don't mind having few more listeners
worldwide. We also have radio VoE online, on our website Maihabar.org, for
people that cannot access our program by normal radio. VoE is broadcasted three
times a week in two languages, Tigrinya and Arabic. both are Eritrea's official
languages."
