Papua New Guinea, 3260, Radio Madang, (pres) 1108-1130, Noted a weak
signal
here with a male in unident language comments. As mentioned, the signal
is just enough weak that it's not possible to catch any details from the
comments. At 1116 music is presented. Male back in comments at 1118.
The music sounded familiar to the Papua New Guinea area.
(Chuck Bolland, January 11, 2010)
Papua New Guinea, 3290, Radio Central, (pres) 1120-1125, With a program
of typical music, noted this with a poor signal here. (Chuck Bolland,
January 11, 2010)
Papua New Guinea, 3385, Radio East New Britain,(pres) 1125-1130, Think I
came in at the intro when possibly the NA was being played. Following
that a male talks briefly, then a female comments for a few moments.
Popular music follows this. Signal was poor. (Chuck Bolland, Janaury 11,
2010).

** CUBA [and non]. Residual DentroCuban Jamming Command pulses on 6030, UT
Monday Jan 11 at 0616, vs detectable carrier, probably CFVP at this time. I
guess it was bad for Ethiopia-seekers earlier.
Also at the late hour of 1533, could still hear signs of jamming on 6030
against nothing, and stronger on 5980, both R. Mart? frequencies, but RM is
finished with 6030 at 1200, 5980 at 1300.
Thus the DentroCubans once again demonstrate their incompetence even in
jamming, and total disregard for the rights of others who have nothing to do
with the Cuban radio war (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** EQUATORIAL GUINEA. 6250, RNGE again audible with Spanish news, frequent
liners at 0618 Jan 11, altho missing 24 hours earlier, and not missing 48 hours
earlier (Glenn Hauser,
** INDIA [and non]. 9690, AIR GOS, Monday Jan 11 at 1435 in weekly mailbag
Faithfully Yours, this time with M&M hosts, assuring that no IRCs or other
return postage is wanted, and that on the European service, 11620 is no longer
in use since Oct 25, instead 6180. Usual constant hum on 9690.
1445 Film Music, but could not understand details of introduxion to a long
selexion; second piece was cut off at 1454 to promote a devotional program on
next transmission to SE Asia at 2245 (0415 IST); 1455 final news summary
including state visit of Bangladesh PM, heavy fog in Punjab, 300+ deaths due to
cold weather. Semi-minute overlap at 1459:30 with fast SAH as Nippon no Kaze
via Darwin was starting in Korean (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. 9526-, Jan 11 at 1358 check, nothing audible, so VOI missing or
closed earlier than usual. 9680 RRI was quite good until 1500:36*.
Atsunori Ishida now reports at
http://www.max.hi-ho.ne.jp/a-ishida/ins/
``Voice of Indonesia has changed it schedule from January 2010. The contents
are not completely fixed, but are almost as follows:
9526 -1000-1400* [1000: English, 1100: Chinese, 1200: Japanese, 1300: English]
9526 *1600- (cannot confirm the contents, due to weak signal)
Chinese and the Japanese have changed to one hour from 30 minutes.``
Jan 11 was a good morning for RRI on tropbands; at 1355, musical audio making
it on Palangkaraya 3325; 1357 better signal with music on 4750 Makassar, YL
singer continuing past 1400. Weak SAH from China or Bangladesh, and with BFO
on, it was obvious there were two carriers, but RRI now right on 4750.0
compared to 9750, presumably Japan rather than Malaysia. At 1404, 4750 finally
going from music to YL DJ announcement in Indonesian (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** MALAYSIA. RTM Sarawak, 5030 still clear of ChiComQRM, Jan 11 at 1358 but too
much Cuba 5025. A bit better comparatively at 1413 with YL announcement
presumably in Malay after song, but still splatter from Rebelde especially
during music which is most of the time. But RTM kept gaining on Cuba during the
hour, and by 1503 with presumed news by YL, signal level had axually surpassed
5025. At 1510 finally understood something as YL concluded news with ``Salaam
Aleikum``, 1511 music. Still audible until starting to fade out at 1533. This
was almost two hours after local sunrise at 1343 UT (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX

Does anyone know the QSL policy of Iceland these days? I have sent 2
reports for my reception on 189 kHz with a CD and I have also sent two e
mails to inquire about my reports. I have not heard anything. Any help
would be appreciated.
I also enclosed $2 U.S. for return postage.
Thanks.

I've had similar results. I sent a written report + CD in 2007 and
followed up with an e-mail + MP3 last fall and not heard from them. The
RUV website www.ruv.is lists e-mail addresses for most or all of the
staff. However, the site is in Icelandic, and Google's English
translation leaves much to be desired, so it's hard to know who to
choose as an addressee.
