** CHINA. Firedrake Sept 29 at 1307: fair on 8400, poor on 9000 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. RHC check Sept 29 at 0558: English service on nominal 6010, 6060,
6140, a clip of someone speaking English, but with annoying
voice-over/consecutive translation into Spanish. Outro as having been Caribbean
Outlook show, announcer named Elena Valverde (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** FRANCE [and non]. 7265, RFI in French discussion at 0551 Sept 29, with heavy
quick echo, ? la long/short path. Trouble is, LP would be quite unlikely at
this hour from Europe. Could be transmission problem either in audio input or
running two unsynchronized transmitters at Issoudun? Scheduled until 0600 at
185 degrees, then 204 degrees. If these are normally two different
transmitters, perhaps the second one was onturned too early.
15160 at 1328 Sept 29 with big collision causing fast subaudible heterodyne.
One of them goes off at 1329* leaving the other in Russian with guitar music,
it too offgoing at 1330* leaving frequency vacant.
At 1230-1329 it`s R. Free Asia in Khmer, 73 degrees from SRI LANKA, per Aoki,
while at 1300-1330 it`s RFI in Russian, 55 degrees from Issoudun. Apparently no
such collision is expected within Russia or Cambodia (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. RRI Makassar (ex-Ujung Pandang, ex-Makassar), Sulawesi
(ex-Celebes), 4750, signal continues to improve as Sept 29 at 1242 a string of
hard-sell ads in Indonesian, 1246 song, fair over co-channel China or maybe
Bangladesh. No other Indos showing on 60m tho there were signs of activity on
75m. See also UNIDENTIFIED 3325.
9525.9, VOI, Sept 29 at 1301 opening English hour, still undermodulated but
marginally readable amid flutter fading. YL introduces perpetual Tuesday
excursion as Exotic Indonesia, 1302 greetings from RRI Banjarmasin guy on phone
where it`s very hot, 35 degrees Celsius, or did he say 45? Canned sign-on as
always gave three frequencies, only one of which is in use for any single
broadcast, but live announcer did the same at 1302. Do they really believe this
in Jakarta? Axually, I believe 9526v is the only one currently in use for any
VOI broadcast, not 11785v or 15150. 1304 over to another YL for news from
Jakarta (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NEWFOUNDLAND. 6160, CKZN at 0555 Sept 29, discussion of viral mutations.
Would this be Quirx & Quarx, on its Monday night repeat? That`s at 11+ pm
local, so no, too late for CKZN and too early for CKZU which would have it on
an hour later. And besides, no sign of host Bob McDonald. Therefore is `N with
CBC Radio Overnight which per sked http://www.cbc.ca/overnight/schedule.html
would be Radio Australia after `2:30` am. There was a fast rippling SAH, just
like old times, presumably CKZU, but way underneath CKZN (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** SWEDEN. R. Sweden, which abandoned its morning audience in North America
last year, still manages to be audible despite their best efforts, on 15735,
English at 1330 Sept 29 including reports on health care, with Germany and
Netherlands recommended as better models for USA than co-lingual Canada and UK;
and on auxioning Ingmar Bergman`s stuff. Fair but sufficient and steady signal
tho 55 degrees from H?rby (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [non]. 15320, Sept 29 at 1326, weak YL spelling out Kowloon address in
English. Scheduled as AWR via Nauen, GERMANY, 250 kW at 70 degrees, 1300-1330
in Chinese on this weekday, Uighur on weekends. No jamming heard but there were
weak OTH radar pulses 15300-15330. Would the ChiCom at least jam the Adventist
Uighur, or is that too esoteric to bother with? Would Beijing axually prefer
the Uighurs to be Adventists instead of Islamists? But if you Google adventist
hypodermics you get almost 80K hits (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 3325, Sept 29 at 1248 solo singing with pauses, still same tho
weakening at 1258. Could not decide whether it`s RRI Palangkaraya, Central
Kalimantan, or PNG. WRTH 2009 shows Radio Buka, Buka, Bougainville in the PNG
listing and Radio Bougainville, Kubu in the page 570 frequency list; while PWBR
`2009` splits the difference as Radio Bouganville [sic], Buka. Aoki shows Radio
Buka as in Kieta. Well, it`s all one station, whatever you call it. And would
it be too much to ask for PNG and Indonesia to spread out their few remaining
SW stations so none of them are on the same frequency? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 9600.4, very weak het again audible Sept 29 at 1310 after RHC
cleared frequency, but now I hear the same pitch on 9500 and 9700. Lacking any
confirmation that XEYU transmitter is running, it looks like this is something
of local origin, tho I am baffled as to what. Not sufficiently baffled to start
unplugging each appliance one by one; besides, it could be neighborly (Glenn
Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 15300-15330, weak OTH radar pulses presumed, Sept 29 at 1325,
bothering AWR on 15320. Could they at least keep these out of the broadcast
bands? They being presumably the Brits in Cyprus or the French near Paris
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

Hey All ,Just got 2 qsl cards in the mail the other day. Both from wrmi. I
heard the wavescan program and sent them off a report. I got them on 15,320 via
graum on 9-13-03. The card says they were running about 100kw. One card was
from that station and the other was from the program host!(never heard of that
before!) Wondering if anyone else has qsl`ed them as of late as the cards(both
of them) have a specical awr qsl stamp on the back! One has verified stamped on
the back with the call sign kdsa. Very neat! Good dx to all, Robbie in wyoming

1620 WDHP U.S.V.I. - Sept 29. 2009 0315 UTC 1000 Watts; w/Raggae mx. Not
heard here in New England for years, no ID netted, but mx matches program skd.
very nice when music noticed behind ESPN radio which was being recorded for
that one-in-a-million ID. Seems freq open with "the Point" now gone. (Konnie
Rychalsky, 090929, CT using Grundig S-350, internal antenna)

At 0425 UTC on RNZI Checkpoint Mary Wilson was doing an interview with a person
in Samoa where another Tsunami warning was just being issued. For those of you
that enjoy live as it happens check RNZI on 15720 kHz.
