Bolivia, 6134.79, Radio Santa Cruz, 0933-0945, With a signal that
was barely audible, noted a male in Spanish language comments.
At about 0940 music is heard. Signal was really threshold during
this period. Checked back at 1015 and noticed that the signal had
improved with music that was actually audible. (Chuck Bolland, January 10,
2010)
Bolivia, 3310, Radio Mosoj Chaski, 0955-1005, Although the signal
is very poor, still able to hear a female conversing with a second person
in Spanish language. I think I am listening to a radio Drama possibly?
Signal was poor. (Chuck Bolland, January 14, 2010)
Bolivia, 6155.32, Radio Fides, 1019-1030, Another threshold signal here
where I noted a person in Spanish comments. Can't distinguish whether I
am hearing a male or female announcer. Signal was very weak. (Chuck
Bolland, January 14, 2010)
Netherlands Antilles (non), 6194.96, Radio Japan, 1020-1032, Noted a male
and female
in Spanish language news. At the end of the broadcast, ID and Address given.
Signal
was poor. After Japan leaves, the frequency is clear, there's nothing on
it.
(Chuck Bolland, January 14, 2010)
Unid, 4789.93, 1035-1040+ Noted just a weak carrier here. It was too weak
to
hear any audio. Radio Vision is off the air this morning, but if they were
up, they'd be
a few hertz higher at 4790 probably? I understand that RRI Fak Fak has been
off for months now? Maybe someone can get a better beat on this carrier?
(Chuck Bolland, January 14, 2010)
Peru, 5024.90, Radio Quillabamba, 1046-1100, Can't really hear Quillabamba
well,
but with a few adjustments on the notch and tuning, some talk in Spanish can
be
heard under Rebelde. At 1051, Huaynos music is heard while SP comments on
Rebelde. The signal was threshold. (Chuck Bolland, January 14, 2010)
Peru, 5120.39, Radio Ondas Del Sur Oriente, (Tent), 1050-1100, Found a very
weak,
carrier with audio buried under a utility signal here. Noted a male in
Spanish comments.
Believe music was presented around 1053. This is another of those Phantom
signals I
often hear. Anyway it was threshold to say the least. (Chuck Bolland,
January 14, 2010)
Peru, 6019.33, Radio Victoria, 1105-1115, Noted a male in Spanish comments.
Immediately
heard the male mention "Peru" in his comments. The male was preaching which
was obvious
from his tone. Signal was fair. (Chuck Bolland, January 14, 2009)
Thailand, 7255, Radio Thailand, 1120-1130 Noted a female in Cambodian
language comments.
Since Cambodian doesn't sound like her native language, it's difficult to
pick out any particulars
from her talk. Signal was fair but tinny. (Chuck Bolland, January 14,
2009)
"I figure if I continue to keep this going, I may eventually hear something
worth reporting."
China, 7290, China Radio International, 1123-1135, Noted a male in Russian
language
comments. A female joins the male during the discourse. Signal was fair.
(Chuck
Bolland, January 14, 2010)
China, 7325, China Radio International, 1135-1145, Noted a group of
individuals (3)
in Japanese language conversation. AOKI says this is transmited from Jinhua
which
results in a good signal here in Florida. (Chuck Bolland, January 14, 2010)
China, 7410, China Radio International, Jinhua, 1141-1150, Noted female in
Flipino language comments. Flipino is listed as language. Signal was good.
Previous logging from CRI was also relayed via Jinhua which is producing a
good, robust signal here in Florida. (Chuck Bolland, January 14, 2010)

** CHINA. Firedrake Jan 14 at 1437: poor on 8400, nothing on 9000, 10210 or
11300 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [non]. 7210-LSB, Cuban exiles hams in Spanish on their favorite
frequency, Jan 14 from 1439 tune-in; at 1446, musing why Cuba has not attempted
to make Ha?ti a socialist state --- not worth it? Usual counter-revolutionary
remarx such as assertions that any disaster aid to Cuba gets sold instead of
reaching victims. One of them IDed as N4RAU in Miami and that chex out at ARRL
callsign lookup as:
Oropesa, Raul L, N4RAU (Extra)
Miami Dade, FL 33175
Previous call sign: KI4QQR
I wonder if Cuba will invade Haiti with any disaster relief, risking running
into yanquis et al.
>From 1445 could hear music in the background, as some broadcaster must have
>begun on this shared band? Nothing scheduled to start then, so maybe just not
>audible or noticed before then. Aoki presents these possibilities:
7210 CRI 1400-1457 Chinese 150 95 Beijing CHN
7210 VOV1 2145-1700 Vietnamese 20 ND Daclac VTN
7210 VOBME1 (Dimtsi Hafas)
1355-1600 Kunama 100 ND Asmara-Selae Daro ERI
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. 9680, RRI Jakarta at 1454 Jan 14 with ``Indonesian opera``,
soprano et al., with gamelan orchestra, continued past 1500 instead of previous
cutoff at 1457; finally at 1504, 9680 went to talk, 1507 more music now a pop
ballad. Went off sometime during the next semihour as gone at next check. 9526v
VOI was already off after 1400 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KOREA NORTH [non]. 5910, Thu Jan 14 at 1426, Shiokaze via JSR JAPAN was
concluding Japanese broadcast with usual sad piano music background; but also a
fast SAH from some co-channel QRM not noted before. Uplooked later, maybe it
was Iran`s Bengali service scheduled for 1430 via Kamalabad, and they
ordinarily do come on a few minutes early, so Sea Breeze should still be clear
for most of the broadcast from 1400, aside from Juche jamming, none audible
today (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MALAYSIA/SARAWAK. 5030, RTM Kuching, Jan 14 tuned in time to monitor the
2-pip timesignal at 1500 --- this time it was close to correct rather than 3
seconds late, no doubt having noted my previous observations (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U K [non]. 5875 is a BBCWS English frequency we can hear fairly well in our
mornings, despite its official destination 25 degrees from Thailand to most of
China, North Korea. But Jan 14 at 1425 as I tuned by, noticed some ute QRM,
sounded like TADIL-A. Next at 1427 that was gone but instead was hearing mix of
English and something in Arabic which was somewhat atop! The latter also had
``that BBC sound``, and at 1332 while English was wrapping up news headlines
before Crossing Continents, Arabic ran BBC sounder, so tnx to WRTH 2010, easily
looked up listed Arabic frequencies during this hour, and sure enough, 5875 was
// Cyprus 9915, and also // 15790 but an echo apart. BBCWS vs BBCWS on 5875!
Possible explanation: another Cyprus transmitter is scheduled to take over from
Thailand with Persian at 1600 on 5875. Maybe it got turned on much too early
with the Arabic programme feed. Or equally SNAFU`d, possibly double programme
audio feed input to Thailand
transmitter, nobody noticing (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WBCQ with the first SW broadcast of WORLD OF RADIO 1495, Wed Jan 13
at 2005 check on 9330-CUSB, much better signal than // 7415, but 9330
modulation a little rough. I hope they left 9330 on for the rest of the
semihour, but did not get it rechecked before 2030, as I had already heard the
show. You never know whether 9330 will be on at this time, as committed to use
7415 only, Tue/Wed/Thu 2000 for WOR (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WTWW was testing with music on 9480 UT Jan 14 around 0030, but
propagation had dropped out here, so weak and fading.
At 0045 came up on 5755, much better signal with music, S9+15 on the FRG-7 but
that`s just slightly above the local noise level with computer on. Much better
than 5745 station, presumably WWRB. Modulation seems good but still not a solid
signal. Don`t know how much longer they will be on tonight.
5755 rechecked at 0117, MUCH stronger signal S9+22 or so, now solid, as if they
turned up the power but were supposedly full power earlier, so maybe we had
just hit a propagational hole then.
Still much stronger than Brother Scare on WWRB 5745, and much much stronger
than WWCR PMS/DGS on 5935. WWCR 5890 PPP does not start until 0200. Comparing
signals to these neighbors should be helpful.
0120, 0124, 0130 IDs, apparently between each tune, say ``Coming to you from
near the banks of the Upper Cumberland River in middle Tennessee, this is WTWW,
Lebanon, Tennessee, U S A, performing equipment tests``. Mod seems a bit
distorted now and/or with selective fading distortion. Disappeared at 0126:30
or so, back on at 0128.
Here`s the ID recorded around 0134 UT Jan 14 on 5755, the final one before went
off at 0136: http://www.w4uvh.net/WTWW.rm
(Glenn Hauser OK, dxldyg via DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. 5050, WWRB on the air after 0700 Jan 13 must have been a
fluke (or a make-good?), as it was gone again 23+ hours later at 0622 check Jan
14, with R. Cultura do Par? again in the clear on 5045, as always playing
nothing but pop music, never classical as one might expect (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

Hello, Radio Friends:
Thank you for letting me pull this discussion group off topic for a
moment...
For those of you who don't know me, I'm the founder and director of a newly
formed non-profit organization called Ears To Our World (ETOW). ETOW's
mission is to send self-powered shortwave radios to schools in the
developing world--you may have seen us recently featured in the Dec. 2009
edition of Popular Communications. You can check us out at:
http://earstoourworld.org
Many of you have been watching and listening to the reports coming out of
Haiti in the aftermath of the recent earthquake. As you can imagine, the
need for information in Haiti is urgent and that means, of course, that
radios are needed. In light of this crisis, ETOW has decided to temporarily
broaden our mission; next week we will send a substantial number of ETOW
radios (donated by Eton/Grundig) to Haiti via our partner, Operation USA. We
are preparing our radios for shipment as rapidly as we can.
As shortwave listeners, DXers and amateur radio operators, you know well the
power of radio. If you'd like to help, please do what you can. Even a few
bucks can help with our expedited shipping costs to get our radios to
Haiti. Donations can be made via PayPal on our website (
http://earstoourworld.org) or you can send a check made to Ears To Our World
at the address below. And if you have contacts or resources there, please
contact me off list at: [email protected]
Let's all do what we can to help these folks.
Thank you & 73,
Thomas
