SRI LANKA. IBC Tamil, clandestine radio Stopped its one hour morning
transmissions to South Asia: LTTE funded Tamil clandestine radio IBC-TAMIL told
on their 4 Nov 2009 morning broadcast, they will start its one hour evening
transmissions to South Asia. But they were not broadcast. In 2002 they
broadcast on 1200 UT at 17485 kHz.
Their official website were also not working and the London phone numbers too
not gives any response. One of the contributor from Chennai for IBC Tamil, were
also confirm the same.
Its morning transmissions at 0000 to 0100 on 6045 Khz. Both the above said
frequencies provide good reception at my location in Chennai. Interestingly,
Few years back IBC'S main rival at European skies, TAMIL BROADCASTING
CORPORATION- LONDON stopped its shortwave transmissions, which was usually
heard 1230-1330 at 21590

Peru, 4775, Radio Tarma, 1038-1100, It's always nice to hear Radio Tarma
especially when they are in the middle of a Huaynos music segment. Signal
was on the poor side this morning, but the music stood out well. After one
tune, noted a male and female in Spanish comments. Signal was poor by
1045. (Chuck Bolland, November 18, 2009)
Peru, 4955, Radio Cultural Amauta, 1050-1100, Noted a male in steady
Spanish language
comments. With ID as "Amauta Radio" and heard "Lima" mentioned during
comments.
At 1053 music heard. Signal was poor. (Chuck Bolland, November 18, 2009)
Note: I didn't hear a single Bolivian this morning. I wonder if something
is going on in Bolivia?

** ALBANIA [and non]. R. Tirana is still on 6110, Nov 18 at 0030 in Albanian,
big collision underneath RHC. Very little signal on // 7425, and at 0130 there
is only one frequency for English, 6110, which Cuba is now occupying 18 hours a
day for `N, C y S Am?rica`, which means a non-direxional antenna (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake Nov 18 at 1433: poor on 8400, nothing audible on 9000 or
10210 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. RHC language usage check Nov 18 at 0620: 6140 in Spanish this time //
6150 and 6120; 6060 and 6010 in English, no phone-ringing or hammering audible
at the moment. At 0631, 11760 also with VG signal in Spanish, now in its
fifteenth day of not producing two dozen spurs (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST) see also ALBANIA [and non]
** ECUADOR [non]. It`s UT 18 November, so HCJB should have closed down its last
major transmitter at Pifo and transferred the Portuguese service on 11920 to
relay via CVC Calera de Tango, CHILE. At 0030 there is Portuguese, but not as
good as before, now with some flutter. Similar signal from CVC itself in
Spanish on 9745. Of course, we`re way off target-Brasil, both from the
perspective of Ecuador and Chile. One schedule shows the Brasilian service
ending at 0045, but not confirmed, some uncertainty about its duration, from
2300? What about Kulina which had been at 2245? Could not hear HCJB direct on
6050 at 0030, but only checked so far on the portable in the yard. That`s being
transferred from Pifo to Pichincha site, still within Ecuador (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDIA [and non]. AIR Aligarh distortion blob from `9470` transmitter had
varied further upward Nov 18 at 1435, centered about 9502 and extending
9495-9510 or so, covering weak carriers detectable on 9500 and 9505. Per EiBi
and Aoki, those would be CNR1 and BBC Hindi via Oman, respectively. Blob weaker
but still audible at 1520 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO [and non]. 6185, R. Educaci?n, monitored during the all-too-brief
QRM-free window Nov 18: at 0619 tune-in no trace of Vatican, just XEPPM with
percussion performance featuring vibes, bells, et al. Always something
intriguing and unexpected in their free-form eclectic format, anything but
``typical Mexican music``. At *0630:45 the Bras?lia carrier came on, but could
still hear XE under. RNA did not start modulating with its own song overriding
DF until 0641, a minute or so after // 11780 cut on with modulation already
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO [and non]. 6104.7, XEQM, Nov 18 at 0713, DJ talking on phone with YL,
0716 ``la m?s grande`` slogan and finally back to song. Atop audible het, from
what at this hour? No major stations scheduled on 6105, so maybe one of the
other LA`s is active, such as R. Can??o Nova, Brasil, which EiBi shows as 24
hours (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SAUDI ARABIA. 11785 buzz, Nov 18 at 1446 mixing with Chinese, no Arabic
audible; at 1522, the usual big buzz on 15435 was only S7, and a trace of same
still on 11785 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SUDAN [non]. 17745, Sudan Radio Service, Nov 18 at 1526 hilife music. Just
as I was wondering exactly when English is now scheduled, at 1527 on came a PSA
in English that only Sudanese citizens are eligible to vote in upcoming
elexions, and how to go about registering with passport or other documentation,
endorsement by a religious leader, etc. 1528 more music. 1529 non-English
announcement, annoying echo, 1533 Sudan Radio Service IDs in passing during
Arabic segment.
Despite the echo, much better signal here via PORTUGAL, than competing Miraya
FM relay on 15650 via SLOVAKIA colliding as ever with Greece. Wait a minute ---
I am hearing the SRS echo during talk, but not during music! That means it has
nothing to do with propagation, but is deliberately introduced in the studio
produxion, to make it sound cool? Only degrading readability.
Then searching for language schedule, Google warns with
http://www.sudanradio.org --- ``this site may harm your computer`` e.g.
installing malicious software. So we`ll make do with what Aoki shows: 15-17
with the first semihour in English daily, the remaining sesquihour in Arabic,
but I don`t think it is so straightforward, more of a mixture (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. What a pity that the big signal from Greenville on 15580,
during the 21-22 hour only, carrying VOA Music Mix shows, was distorted and
splattering up to 15 kHz away, Nov 17 at 2131. On Tuesday it was Roots &
Branches.
9930 with VOA English, Nov 18 at 1441 about one second behind // 9760. 9930
used to be the prime frequency of defunct KWHR Hawaii, and inherited by T8WH
Palau (known to FCC as `KHBN`), which is registered there 07-22, but apparently
not using it for at least two hours 14-16 when VOA via Sri Lanka is also
listed, 250 kW, 322 degrees (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. For the third night in a row, WYFR interfering with itself on 9355:
Nov 18 at 0629 English Family Radio ID crosstalk clearly audible underneath
Italian (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WRMI 9955, Nov 18 at 0637 with Wire Light M&W discussion, S9+18 over
jamming, so suspect WRMI has resumed the NW antenna, as scheduled on UT
Wednesdays, also for WORLD OF RADIO at 0800. After 1500, audible again over
jamming with R. Prague relay in English (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGESET)
** U S A [and non]. 11715, KJES with big S9+22 carrier, Nov 18 at 1444, but JBA
modulation of catechisms mixing with unknown language station, must be R
Liberty via Lampertheim, GERMANY in Uzbek. At 1519 another station was atop
KJES, i.e. RVA Philippines in Tagalog via VATICAN back to Gastarbeiter in the
ME (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. WEWN gave us a clear shot at the Taiwan het against 11550,
Nov 18 at 1445-1448 since WEWN had lost modulation until Spanish resumed (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [non]. As I was outchecking the blob from INDIA, q.v., Nov 18 at 1500,
heard TWR IS just barely escaping it on 9495. Per Aoki at 15-16 it`s 100 kW, 55
degrees via AUSTRIA in Russian, except Mondays when the first semihour is in
Belarussian. Christians vs Christians, also listed on 9495 during this hour is
YFR in English via UAE, 250 kW, 105 degrees but unheard here (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** WESTERN SAHARA [non]. 6297, LV de la RASD, Nov 18 at 0700 with Arab rap,
3-pip timesignal almost a sesquiminute late at 0701:28, Arabic ID, sounders,
news? by rapid YL; 0702:30 ID again. Usual good signal from Tindouf, ALGERIA;
BTW, the only way now to hear Algeria direct on SWBC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST) ###

Iran, 9680, Voice of the Islamic Republic, 0110-0130, Noted some music
followed by
Spanish (sked) language comments from a female. Some mentions of "Islam" I
think,
during comments in Spanish. At 0126 a male begins commenting before music.
Signal was fair. (Chuck Bolland, November 19, 2009)
