Brazil, 5970, Radio Itatiaia, 0935-1000, Noted a male and
female in Portuguese language comments which included
TC's. At 0945 canned promos and ADs. Afterwards the male
and female return in comments. Signal was poor. (Chuck
Bolland, September 25, 2009)
Peru, 6019.32, Radio Victoria, 0950-1000, Noted a male in
Spanish Language religious discourse. This continues during
the period. Splatter from nearby stations increase the
difficulty to hear any details other than the above. Signal
was poor. (Chuck Bolland, September 25, 2009)
Bolivia, 3310.00, Radio Mosoj Chaski, 0956-1005, Noted a
female in Spanish Language comments. She continues
with her comments thru the top of the hour. There's plenty
of crashes on this band. At 1003 music is presented.
Signal was fair. (Chuck Bolland, September 25, 2009)
Papua New Guinea, 3385, Radio East New Britian,(pres),
1005-1015, Noted a male in steady Tok Pisin (?) comments.
Audio is very down and difficult to hear. Signal was poor. (Chuck
Bolland, September 25, 2009)
Bolivia, 4700, Radio San Miguel, 1016-1030 Noted a male
and female in Spanish language comments. Male gives
TC at 1019 and then back to conversation. At 1020
a conversation with a call in on the telephone. Signal
was fair. (Chuck Bolland, September 25, 2009)
China, 5030, China National Radio, 1023-1035, Noted two males
and a female in Chinese comments which is over music in the
background. Signal was fair to good. (Chuck Bolland,
September 25, 2009)
Indonesia, 9525.85, Voice of Indonesia, 1031-1040, Noted a
female in comments. Couldn't distinguish the language since
the signal was really poor this morning. However, EIBI lists
English during this period. (Chuck Bolland, September 25,
2009)
Indonesia, 9680, RRI Jakarta, 1035-1045, Noted a female
in Indonesian language comments as she presented
ballad type music. Signal was good. (Chuck Bolland,
September 25, 2009)
China, 9725, China Radio International, (pres) 1039-1045,
Noted a female in Russian language comments. At
1042 possible ID by a male in Russian. Afterwards,
the female returns in comments. Chinese language
promos at 1045, then into Russian again. Heard
a phrase "radio ross". Not sure of the Ross spelling,
but sounded like Rose. Signal was good. (Chuck
Bolland, September 25, 2009)
Malaysia, 9750, Voice of Malaysia, (pres), 1049-1100, Noted a male and
female in possibly Indonesian (sk) language comments. Believe
the program is news as others make comments periodically. At
1058 music presented. Time ticks (5) on the hour followed
with ID's which were over my head. I couldn't catch any part of
them. Signal however, was fair to good. (Chuck Bolland,
September 25, 2009)

Signals were rather good this morning considering how they've been in
the past. Asia was coming in with strong signals. I am starting to
feel better about this hobby at least for today. Of course to feel
good about this morning's catches, I had to disconnect my wireless
circuit, unplug my TV and drink cold coffee, otherwise I would have
had nothing but noise on the bands. I am starting to get the hang
of this hobby I think?

Please correct my 9750 logging of Voice of Malaysia for today September 25,
2009, to an Unident for now. There's some question about it. Thank you and
sorry for the confusion

** BRAZIL. 4885, romantic music and Brazilian announcements between songs,
presumed R. Clube do Par?, the usual 24-hour dominant here, but a long time
since it overcame noise level enough and CODAR, Sept 25 at 0523-0529+ (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake Sept 25: at 1340, equally poor but audible on 8400, 9000;
nothing on 10210 or other higher frequencies, except for the usual // mix on
12040 with CNR1 and VOA (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. Which combination of frequencies and languages will RHC be using
tonight, UT Sept 25 at 0519? 6140, 6060 and 6010 in English; 6120 and 6000 in
Spanish (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. 4750, RRI Makassar, best heard in quite a while, Sept 25 at 1241
lively W&M dialog in Indonesian, 1242 romantic music, sufficient signal over
rumble of co-channel QRM. What a pity that China and Bangladesh have to use the
same frequency when there are plenty of openings nearby.
Nothing much else audible from Indonesia on 60m, but could hear some AM talk on
3995 at 1251, marred by insensitive SSB hams who regard broadcast stations,
even RRI Kendari as nothing but a nuisance, or at best a BFO source. See also
PAPUA NEW GUINEA.
VOI with usual low modulation during English hour, Sept 25 at 1350; no het so
did not bother to measure frequency as usual 9524.9, but at 1435 a big
higher-pitched het from CRI on the lo side rather than a lo het on the hi side;
ergo, VOI has switched back to the transmitter almost one kHz high. In the
clear again at 1500 when I could barely outmake a www announcement, but off at
1501* before English could really start repeating. Ron Howard measured it on
9525.88, and during the 10 UT broadcast this same day, Chuck Bolland reported
9525.85 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KOREA NORTH [and non]. Juche jamming noise audible on 3985, 3912 and 3480
against the S. Korean clandestines, Sept 25 at 1252. Could make out some talk
too on 3912. Same type of roar less effectively against VOA Korean on 5890 at
1255 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PAPUA NEW GUINEA [and non]. Signs of life on PNG channels, Sept 25 at 1253:
3220 and 3385 with music; something on 3260; 3335 with off-frequency SSB QRM;
3345 sounds like two stations, the other being RRI Ternate if active? At 1301,
3220 had a song, while at 1303, 3335 sounded like news, still with SSB QRM
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** RUSSIA. 7200 at 1310 Sept 25, Russian talk vs SSB ham on exactly same
frequency. Russia is also audible on 7200 as early as 0500 now. Per Aoki this
is NVK R. Sakha-R. Rossii, 100 kW non-direxional from Yakutsk at 19-15. WRTH
says it`s 250 kW, which I could easily believe. HFCC says 250 kW and 45
degrees, which I could also believe, enhancing the signal usward. Yakutsk is at
62 north, 130 east. Sunset there today was 0909 UT per
http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/city.html?n=1907
7200 is supposed to be off-limits for broadcasters as the boundary frequency
between ham and BC bands now in Regions 1 and 3, but Aoki also shows
Malaysia/Sarawak and Myanmar on 7200 --- is either really active on 7200? As
well as further west, Iran and Sudan.
15510 playing songs in Italian by an OM singer with an American accent, Sept 25
at 1348 and 1355; one lyric was ``non ? un'altra donna``. What`s this?
Certainly not Rai or SRI Switzerland, the Italian native-language countries
which abandoned SW long ago.
What else but the VOR Pashto/Dari service, as in Aoki at 12-14, 250 kW, 110
degrees from Krasnodar, RUSSIA as also revealed by VOR IS at 1359, smooth
transition at 1400 to DW, 500 kW, 76 degrees via Rampisham, UK in Russian with
Novosti (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. Further chex of WRMI 9955 on the UT Friday Sept 25 NW antenna test
(see previous report) did not turn up any audible signal between 0400 and 0530
when I upgave. Happy Station has another new time on the schedule, Friday 1300,
but just as I expected, at 1339 nothing but DentroCuban jamming audible then
when WRMI is on the SSE antenna (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 5000+, Sept 25 at 1246 noticed different-pitched timesignals
slightly on hi side of strong WWV, definitely not on the lo side; WWVH much
weaker but also audible. The pips were slightly unsynchronized with WWV; minute
markers were also distinctly pitched compared to WWV/H; listened carefully past
1300 including during WWV voice announcements just before minutetops, but never
heard any voice (or code) IDs from this.
Propagationally, BPM in Xi`an, China most likely, but supposedly on standard
frequency too of 5000.0; Taiwan, South Korea and India are not all active on
5000, if any of them are. One reference is http://www.dxinfocentre.com/time.htm
but it`s not up-to-date enough to include PPE in Brasil on 10000 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 5785-5835, weak OTH radar pulses covering this range, presumably
from China, Sept 25 at 1256 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 9600.4, very weak carrier detectable as het to 9600.0, Sept 25 at
0514, XEYU? But I also heard het of exactly same pitch on 9700 against presumed
DW Rwanda, don`t know whether above or below.
Quite a coincidence, raising question whether it is something of local origin,
such as a long-forgotten almost-100 kHz crystal oscillator? But my HQ-160 is
long gone, sob. If so, should appear every 100 kHz, but no sign of anything
like that around 9500 or 9800. And anyway, harmonix of 100 kHz if slightly
off-frequency would not be precisely 100 kHz apart so the het pitches would
differ slightly (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

Some Spanish talk. Good and strong until 2358. Fair to poor after

** ANTARCTICA. While LRA36 was at S9 level Sept 24 after 1800, not even a
carrier detectable the next day, Sept 25 at 1802, 1830 and 2030 chex. Not much
from LRA 15345 either. Nevertheless, solar flux for Sept 24 was still 75, and K
index at 1800 Sept 25 was still 0 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BIAFRA [non]. 17520 signal just barely audible, Friday Sept 25 at 1900,
presumed still V. of Biafra International via WHRI. In order to reach as few SW
listeners as possible, the website http://www.biafraland.com/vobi.htm still
claims to be on 15280, Fridays at 2000, like it was briefly last year. Yet it
has latest audio files (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. RHC finally heard with half an English broadcast during the previously
scheduled 2030-2130 UT hour! JBA carrier on 17660, else? But Sept 25 at 2053
found sufficient open carrier on 11760, 2059 opening English, 2132 opening
French. Arabic was also back, on 11770 at 2053. Spanish on 11800 distorted,
13760 buried under Portugal 13755 with loud silly ballgame and after 2100 RHC
Spanish also on 11770.
Let`s look at RHC`s website schedule:
http://www.radiohc.cu/espanol/c_frecuencia/frecuencias.htm
By golly, it has been modified since our last perusal, but it has taken then
about two sesquimonths since major changes were really made --- and it`s still
wrong. It does not show any Arabic at all, nor any French at 2030!
However, the Spanish schedule does now account for the greatly extended hours
we have been monitoring it since Junend, filling the gaps 15-21 and 07-11 UT.
As a service to DX listeners, certainly not to the incompetent RHC itself, I
herewith extract the Spanish schedule and rearrange it into nonconfusing strict
time order. This part looks fairly accurate compared to monitoring but we
cannot vouch for it 100%:
11-13 6180 NY
11-13 9600 Chi
11-15 15120 BA
11-15 15360 SAm
11-22 11760 NCSAm

speculated for the 07+ period when English has really been heard on some of the
6 MHz channels.

Beware of inaccuracies in the other languages which I won`t go into here (Glenn

** FRANCE [non]. RFI, 17620 via GUIANA FRENCH to Africa, Sept 25 at 2054 with
nice jazzy/African bass music; owe we this to the strike as fill, or, how is
the strike going, still? But 2100 into French news, while always stronger and
VG 17630 came on then in RFI Spanish (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GUIANA FRENCH. DRM noise 17870-17880, Sept 25 at 2037 and still at 2121,
surely TDF site which has used this range many times before but not currently
on the DRM DX schedule at http://www.drm-dx.de/
Montsin?ry had registered +17875+ previously at 1300-2000 only, 320 degrees
USward. It was last reported in the DRM DX fora last May for a week when it was
on for some event in Brasil at 17-21. So what bits of programming are they
running now, and why? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ISRAEL. Songs at F-P level alternating with announcements in presumed
Hebrew, measured on 15783.8, ergo the latest variant of Galei Zahal, Sept 25 at
1733-1753. Will this one stay on the air right thru Yom Kippur, unlike IBA?
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KOREA NORTH. 11710.0, classical piano music, 1727 UT Sept 25, later with
orchestra, a concerto? Not recognized, but sounds Western. Only thing that fits
is VOK, Korean service to NAm, and confirmed at 1730 by // JBA in noise 9335
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NIGERIA. 15120, Sept 25 at 2041 with very distorted music, undermodulated
and muffled but not distorted YL ID as Voice of Nigeria, Lagos. Signal was
noticeably weaker than WYFR 15130 and much weaker than REE 15110, altho without
such neighbors and with decent modulation it would have been adequate (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SPAIN. 17595, REE in Brazilian Portuguese hour, Sept 25 at 1803 with report
about IMF mentioning Pitsburgo (Pittsburgho?). VG signal as if it`s still aimed
at NAm, tho listed as 248 degrees from Noblejas; meanwhile, REE in Spanish on
17715 was much weaker, tho azimuth supposedly differs by only 18 degrees at
230, both 350 kW. Something seems amiss (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SUDAN [non]. 15650, Sept 25 at 1757 rather distorted audio on F-P signal,
eventually recognized as heavily accented English; 1758 item about the national
election commission in southern Sudan; 1800 music and announcement in non?
English, off at 1801* Miraya FM as scheduled 1500-1800 via IRRS via SLOVAKIA,
back to Sudan (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###
