New Zealand, 6170, Radio New Zealand Int. 0943-1000,
At tune in heard a female in commentary. Signal was good.
(Chuck Bolland, September 15, 2009)
Bolivia, 4699.95, Radio San Miguel, 0951-1000, At tune in
heard a female talking with a male on the telephone.
Signal was poor, but seemed to be improving just slightly.
(Chuck Bolland, September 15, 2009)
Indonesia, 4749.93, RRI Makassar, 0955-1005, Noted a
male in Indonesian language comments over
background music. At 1002 the Qu'ran is presented.
Signal was fair. (Chuck Bolland, September 15, 2009)
China, 5030, China Radio International One, (pres)1005-1015,
Heard at least three different persons in Chinese comments
during the period including a female. Signal was
good. (Chuck Bolland, September 15, 2009)
Russia, 5920, Radio Rossii, 1012-1033, Initially noted two
males in a Russian language conversation. WBOH is just
a couple Hertz south of Rossii, but still overpowering Rossii.
I guess an earlier time would have produce better results as
Rossii was poor with QRM. (Chuck Bolland, September 15, 2009)
Bolivia, 6075, Radio Causachun Coca, 1020-1030, With a very
weak signal, noted a male and female exchanging Spanish
language comments. Signal improved as the time passed
from threshold to poor. There was some fading too.
(Chuck Bolland, September 15, 2009)
Bolivia, 6134.68, Radio Santa Cruz, 1028-1035, Another very weak
signal, noted also a male and female in conversation. It seems
strange that almost every station has a male and female couple
doing the radio chores, but "it is what it is". Signal was
threshold. (Chuck Bolland, September 15, 2009)
Bolivia, 6155.21, Radio Fides, 1031-1040, Here's a changed.
Noted a solo female in Spanish language comments which
seemed to be the news. At 1034 canned promos. Signal was
actually very good after tuning out the interference.(Chuck
Bolland, September 15, 2009)
Peru, 4774.93, Radio Tarma, (pres)1037-1040, Noted a threshold
signal here with female talking. The signal was too weak to
glean any other details. (Chuck Bolland, September 15, 2009)
Peru, 4824.47, La Voz de la Selva, 1042-1100, With a good
signal, heard two females in Spanish language conversation.
Later a male joins in with comments. At 1046 music is
presented. As mentioned the signal was good.
(Chuck Bolland, September 15, 2009)

26.37N 081.05W
Pretty productive morning here. To achieve this list of loggings,
I turned off all electrical appliances including my computer and
WiFi connection. It's amazing how much RFI is produced by
these things. Everything is enclosed in plastic these days which
doesn't stop any RFI. On the other hand, my receivers are enclosed
in a metal case, but their sensitivity is so strong, they pickup
all of the RFI produce from the gadgets I have. There's no
answer. I need them all.

ISRAEL 11595 Kol Yisrael, in Persian, Sept 13 at 1435 UT, with several
mentions to Mr. Amadhinejad. Not heard on 9985 kHz. 44433.
(Pedro Turner-POR CT2KET, wwdxc BC-DX TopNews Sept 14)

** CANADA. 6070, CFRX with VG signal at 0523 Sept 15 discussing duct/duck tape
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. Anomaly report Sept 15: 13780 missing at 1351, RHC still there as
usual on 13760 and 13680, but the leapfrog on 13880 also absent, of course.
13740 open carrier from CRI relay not yet on either, but was by 1357 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. VOI, 9524.9, still very undermodulated, but signal a little
better on Sept 15 at 1354, M&W conversing and Banjarmasin mentioned at 1356, so
yet another reconfirmation of their every-Tuesday excursion. Quite a bit of
flutter, 1357 music ruined by CRI`s own pr?lude and het (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** NETHERLANDS ANTILLES [and non]. Surprised to hear some Spanish on 6135, Sept
15 at 0529 outroducing a program; nothing scheduled here, unless it`s Bolivia,
but sounds like a major international broadcaster. Weak signal and 0530 into
another language mentioning Somalia. Then it dawns on me that this is the
leapfrog mixing product from Bonaire matching the one on 6225, the 6195 NHK
Spanish service saulting over 6165 RNW in Dutch, both of which go off at 0530.
And then on 6135 is BBC Ascension in Hausa (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A. It seems that Brother Scare is gone again from WWCR-2, 13845, where
he had been appearing a few weeks in the local mornings instead of The
so-called University Network. Sept 15 at 1243 there was PMS with VG Es-enhanced
signal, MUF between that and still barely audible 15825 transmitter; by 1300,
13845 had also receded to JBA but still PMS // Anguilla 11775; and at 1607
recheck, 13845 with DGS. AFAIK, WWCR never entered The Overcomer Ministry usage
of 13845 on their online schedule; maybe he was just filling time waiting for
the payment from LA to clear? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 3385, another broadcast frequency marred by TADIL-A beeps and
data bursts, Sept 15 at 0540; sounded like two of them mixing so the beeps were
irregular. Could not really pin down a single carrier frequency, but somewhere
around 3385 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 5898.0, big hum and open carrier at 0535 Sept 15. No doubt a
Cuban spy numbers transmitter, instead of 5810 on this occasion (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 9540-9545-9550 DRM, again Sept 15 at 0517 and still at 0543,
strong DRM signal when little else audible on 31m except REE Costa Rica analog
9630. This time with the DX-398 I can center the noise on 9545, rather than
9540 where I thought it was Sept 14 on the FRG-7. Still NO listing for this
transmission at DRM DX, and no discussion I can find in their forums. But there
is this on the DRM DX schedule:
0700-1000 daily 9545 30 Europe 90 BBC_DW G English Sines Portugal
So are they turning this on two hours early? If anything from Europe could make
it, Sines could, but still seems too strong compared to lack of analog signals
from Europe. Maybe Bonaire, HCJB, Guiana French or Chile with secret test?
Aha! Then I find these posts in the open archives of the drmna yg:
``Hi Everyone, Echo des Tages - 0510 UT Sept 14 on 9545 kHz - Echo des Tages is
putting in a very strong signal here this evening with SNR hovering at 30 dB
SNR. The signal is strongest when the loop is pointed toward the SE, so it
seems like the transmitter might be in the Caribbean. Audio is 14.56 kbps in
German. 73, Mark Bauman, KB7GF, College Place WA``
And a few nights earlier he had the same on 9530, so they have been moving
around, and very well may have been centered on 9540 when I heard this
previously:
``Hi Everyone, Echo des Tages is very strong 20 dB right now (0520 UT Sept 9)
on 9530 KHz. The broadcast is in German at 14.56 kbps EEP AAC+ mono. 73, Mark
Phillips`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

4699.998 BOLIVIA R San Miguel, Riberalta, Sep 13, *0947:30 - s/on with
contemporary instrumental, soft-spoken OM and YL in Spanish, canned ID
at 0958 UTC (clip: http://tiny.cc/4tMJp), inspirational talks and
vocals. Fair signal with some transmitter dawn enhancement from
1020-1030 UT. (Jordan-TN)
4716.69 BOLIVIA (tent) R Yura, Yura, Sep 13, *0958 - only threshold
audio, drifting up 10 Hz from 4716.68 before stabilizing. (Jordan-TN)
4746.923 PERU (tent) R Huanta 2000, Huanta, Sep 13, *1003 - carrier only
signal at s/on, but strengthening to poor level by 1033 UT with
monologue by YL in lang, fading back to carrier level by 1100 UT.
Relatively stable, drifting +/- 2 Hz. (Jordan-TN)
4769.963 NIGERA R Nigeria, Kaduna, Sep 13, *0428 - transmitter on at
0404 but modulation not heard until 0428. Poor, talk by OM, tribal
music. Much improved at 0500 with news in English then pop and reggae
songs, good peak at 0520 Kaduna sunrise. (Jordan-TN)
4775 SWAZILAND TWR, Manzini, Sep 13, *0342 - vernacular religious
program, English ID at the top of the hour "to Africa service, this is
Trans World Radio" into German program for South Africa. Excellent
signal. (Jordan-TN)
4780 DJIBOUTI R Djibouti, Sep 13, *0400 - 1 kHz test tone from 0342,
possible anthem at 0400, brief announcement by OM in French then
directly to Qu'ran. Poor. (Jordan-TN)
4789.99v PERU R Visi?n, Chiclayo, Sep 13, 0330 - Power increase? Signal
peaked at 0420 to an excellent level, and remained so the rest of the
night. Iglesia Pentecostal preacher, contemporary Spanish inspirational
vocals, casual R Vision mentions occasionally just after the top of the
hour. After 0600 there many vocals with a strong Andean flavor. (Jordan-TN)
4828.0 ZIMBABWE Voice of Zimbabwe, Gweru, Sep 13, 0330 - poor peaking to
almost fair signal at 0400, talk by OM in heavily accented English,
African pop music. Strong CODAR. Perhaps Sackville should invite the
Gweru technicians over to calibrate their transmitters? (Jordan-TN)
4925.24v BRAZIL R Educa??o Rural, Tef?, Sep 13, *1009 - poor in CODAR,
drifting from initial 4925.245 down to 4924.237 by 1100 UT. (Jordan-TN)
4949.75 ANGOLA (tentative) R Angola, Mulenvos, Sep 13, 0330 - carrier
only until just threshold audio heard at 0500-0520. Talk by man and
woman, possibly news. (Jordan-TN)
4965 ZAMBIA CVC Voice Africa, Lusaka, Sep 13, 0330 - English with
religious program, peaking from 0400-0415 with more religious talk,
jingles, sound efx, inspirational music, pops. Fair. (Jordan-TN)
4975.966 UGANDA R Uganda, Kampala, Sep 13, 0330 - very little audio
despite decent signal strength, best at 0340-0350 with talk by OM.
(Jordan-TN)
5009.943 MADAGASCAR RTV Madagasikara, Ambohidrano, Sep 13, 0330 - nice
etheric female vocal, talk by OM in vernacular, drumming. Good signal at
tune in despite transmitter being in daylight for 45 minutes, slowly
fading. (Jordan-TN)
5066.34 CONGO, DEM REP (presumed) R Tele-Candip, Bunia, Sep 13, *0359 -
decent strength carrier, possible threshold audio in LSB? Transmitter
dawn enhanced, sign-on is only 9 minutes after Bunia sunrise. Would be
much easier without the WWCR splatter. + Sep 15, *0420 - threshold audio
at 0424 and 0426, OM in French. (Jordan-TN)
15076.02 ANTARTICA R Nacional Arc?ngel San Gabriel, Base Esperanza, Sep
14, 1800 - on with a Spanish ballad, brief announcement by OM at 1804,
YL mentioning Esperanza and other announcements over ballads. Possible
canned ID by OM at 1815, YL with what sounded to be saludos to oyentes
internacionales, more ballads. Faded down to threshold levels by 1830
then carrier only by 1900. I've been monitoring them daily this month
with the Perseus, today is by and far the best signal. While the
transmitter is fired up between 1730-1740 UT, they do not sign on until
the top of the hour. (Jordan-TN)

First airing of new WORLD OF RADIO 1478 should be at 0700 UT Wednesday on WRMI,
9955. Those awake at midnight PDT or MST, or anywhere else, please check
reception, as Jeff White and I would like to know how it works now that the
antenna is aiming NW instead of SSE. The MUF may or may not cooperate. Thanks,
