690 COLOMBIA HJCZ Radio Recuerdo, Santa F? de Bogot? JAN 30 0628 UTC -
ranchera, "Los bailados de siempre est?n en Radio Recuerdos", then a classic
cumbia track. Poor-fair, but dominant over apparent Cuba which was IDed earlier
and residual hash. SINPO 22332. NEW ! Colombia#8... I have HJKL-610, HJKH-650,
HJAJ-760, HJJX-770, HJCY-810, HJIJ-1070, HJCG-1070, so this is indeed my 8th
Colombian on mediumwave... First new Colombian in ages ! In WLW-700 null ! It's
hard to null out WLW-700 without also semi-nulling Colombia, but a semi-null is
better than a total null ! (Chiochiu-QC)
This is what a clear channel can do during non-auroral conditions... Imagine if
WLW-700 was HDless or if there was some auroral enhancement !
May the good DX be with you !

6155 Banda Oriental, Sarand? del Yi, Departamento de Durazno est? actualmente
inactiva.
D?as pasados tuvimos ocasi?n de visitar la emisora juntamente con mi querido
amigo Rub?n Guillermo Margenet y fuimos amablemente atendidos por la Directora
de esa casa radial, la se?ora Nora San Mart?n.
La funcionaria nos inform? que desafortunadamente parte del equipamiento para
onda corta qued? inutilizado por una grave inundaci?n que afect? la planta
transmisora que la estaci?n comparte con las otras radioemisoras hermanas:
CX155 Radio Sarand? del Yi y 88,3 Scala FM.
Sin embargo, Nora San Mart?n nos aclar? que su intenci?n es reactivar
pr?ximamente la frecuencia de Banda Oriental a fin de llevar a todo el mundo el
acontecer de Sarand? del Y?, especialmente las realizaciones de sus poetas y
m?sicos y tambi?n los raids h?picos, los cuales constituyen un verdero
acontecimiento en la regi?n.
Ella, su esposo, Jos? y sus tres hijos, trabajan en las diferentes estaciones
que conforman este emprendimiento familiar y consideran a Banda Oriental como
una parte o pieza necesaria ya que al ser tanto la Sra. San Mart?n como su
marido radioaficionados, conocen perfectamente no s?lo la importancia sino
tambi?n el alcance que la onda corta permite a las transmisiones radiales.
Como curiosidad es importante se?alar que Nora San Mart?n es argentina pero de
muy peque?a sus padres la llevaron al Uruguay. Actualmente, la empresaria, se
desempela tambi?n como edil en la Junta Departamental.
Los estudios de Banda Oriental (compartidos con Radio Sarand? del y? y Scala
FM) est?n ubicados en calle Sarand? 428, Sarand? del Y?. La v?a de contacto
telef?nica es el 9155 (la caracter?stica de Sarand? del Y? es 0367).-
El multimedios est? tambi?n integrado por Boreal FM, que transmite desde la
cercana localidad de Villa del C?rmen. Esta emisora opera en los 106,5 Mhz con
estudios en Ruta 14 y F. Fonterosa, Villa del C?rmen, los cuales tambi?n
visitamos. Cada uno de los hijos varones se ha hecho cargo de cada una de las
dos emisoras de frecuencia modulada.
Sarand? del Y? es una localidad de Uruguay ubicada al sudeste del departamento
de Durazno a 96 kil?metros de la capital departamental por la ruta nacional
N?14 hacia el este y a 200 kil?metros de Montevideo por la ruta nacional N?6 al
norte, en el limite con el departamento de Florida. Es la segunda ciudad del
departamento. Tiene una poblaci?n estimada de 6.659 habitantes (2004).Fundada a
iniciativa de Do?a Dolores Vidal de Pereyra en el a?o 1875 es hoy una de las
tres ciudades en el mundo que fue delineada antes de comenzar con la
edificaci?n.

Back to nice lively OA campo mx at 0016. M returned again at 0020. (30 Jan)
ZIMBABWE 3396 Zimbabwe BC 0022 Hi-life Afro mx. Continuing at 0028 and
0058 checks. Went over ToH w/mx. Some nasty noise started on the freq around
0115 which rendered a canned anmnt at 0120 inaudible. Finally in the clear

** ALBANIA. 13640, R. Tirana, VG S9+12 signal for English to NAm at 1530 Jan
30: going from talk to music segment at 1543, and no problem from doomed Darwin
transmission of CVC whose carrier was barely detectable on 13635; see
AUSTRALIA. 1553 the music outro sounded like ``Dance with Me``, then another
folk song with ululations, 1557 outro that as ``Folk edition musical program``,
closing theme to 1558, IS until 1600 and open carrier until 1601*. Altho
modulation level was good, modulation quality was as usual deficient,
especially during the music (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** AUSTRALIA. I posted this early UT Jan 30 to the dxldyg whose members always
get first shot at our perishable information:
The Cox Peninsula ``Darwin`` transmitter site is closing down as of January 31,
and to be dismantled. CVC has not told us exactly when the last transmission
will go on air, or whether any of the existing transmissions of its own or
relays of R. Australia, and JCI (Japanese clandestines to North Korea) will
have stopped earlier, but based mostly on Aoki, here is the full schedule we
have been able to put together for all Darwin transmissions, in station,
language, and then time order:
9585, 2200-2300 340 CVC Chinese
15170, 2300-0200 340 CVC Chinese
17690, 0400-0600 340 CVC Chinese
17635, 0600-1200 340 CVC Chinese
13685, 1200-1800 340 CVC Chinese
15535, 0930-1230 303 CVC English
13635, 1230-1830 303 CVC English
15250, 2300-0200 290 CVC Indonesian
17820, 0400-1000 290 CVC Indonesian
9890, 1000-1300 290 CVC Indonesian
11925, 1300-1700 290 CVC Indonesian
-----------------------------------
11825, 1300-1430 340 RA Chinese
12010, 2200-2400 317 RA English [except Burmese 2300-2330]
17665, 0000-0200 317 RA English [except Burmese 0100-0130]
11980, 1600-1700 317 RA English
9630, 2200-2330 290 RA Indonesian
15180, 0000-0030 290 RA Indonesian
0400-0430 290 RA Indonesian
0500-0530 290 RA Indonesian
-----------------------------------
9880, 1430-1530 3 JCI Japanese - Furusato no Kaze, alt 11995
9690, 1500-1530 3 JCI Korean - Nippon no Kaze, alt 11650
-----------------------------------
17755, 0700-0800 317 TDP English DRM 17750-17760
This should be useful in monitoring which transmissions are still going or end
as of UT January 30, 31, or even February 1; and attempting to get a
historically-dated QSL
Altho WRTH says Darwin has 2 x 100 kW, 3 x 250 kW, and 1 x 300 kW transmitters,
all these are listed as 250, except for a semi-250 for DRM.
As in DXLD 10-04, RA has already added Palau frequencies for some of its Darwin
transmissions, presumably using both sites temporarily in transition. This
schedule accounts for maximum of four transmitters, so perhaps the `300` is the
fourth unit being run at 250 instead (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
Then Kai Ludwig replied that the transmitter power info in WRTH and Aoki, HFCC?
is all wrong:
``The situation is such that two of the three 250 kW Collins transmitters from
1968 (the only other site still using such equipment is Sackville) have been
disconnected and replaced by two Continental 100 kW transmitters, brought in
from somewhere else (does anybody know the details?). But it seems that these
transmitters are mere stand-by units and never in regular use.
``The third old Collins is still operational but has to be tuned manually now,
requiring 15 minutes for a frequency change. This transmitter covers the peak
requirements when four frequencies are on air simultaneously.
``Otherwise the site has the Thomson transmitter originally installed in 1984
at Carnarvon, the provisional site that remained in use for two decades. After
its final closure in 1996 the transmitter was moved to Darwin. Two further
Thomson units were purchased and installed at the Darwin site in 1994. These
three 300 kW Thomson transmitters are the core of the operations nowadays.
``So far only the lease of the station grounds to Christian Vision has been
discussed, but which arrangements have been made in regard to the equipment?
The antenna system must have cost millions, and the transmitters certainly also
still represented a considerable value in 2000, when two of them were just six
years old.
``Has all this equipment just been given away by the Australian authorities
(the broadcasting distribution service, nowadays Broadcast Australia, was not
privatized yet at this point), have they sold it to Christian Vision for a
reasonable price, or is it not the property of Christian Vision at all and
instead used under some other kind of arrangement?`` [end quotation of Kai
Ludwig`s comments to the dxldyg]
Not surprisingly, none of the listed Darwin frequencies were audible around
0600 Jan 30, altho in other yearparts, 17820 has made it here in the
nightmiddle.
I resumed trying to hear Cox Peninsula at 1541 UT Jan 30, when it is already
Jan 31 in the NT, so quite possibly the last day on the air. Propagation was
certainly not favorable, but I could detect carriers on 13635 and 13685 from
CVC, vs. extremely stronger signals on adjacent frequencies such as Albania
[q.v.] 13640, Farda 13680.
Initially 13685 could be made out with a bit of modulation which sounded like
English, but later Chinese. Perhaps language lesson. Or maybe not CVC: while
the only station in the world ever using 13635 has been CVC Australia, on
13685, CRI via Mali is also scheduled at 13-16 in French, English and English.
After Tirana closed at 1601* I could still detect only a carrier on 13635,
likewise 13685, so CVC apparently still on.
Meanwhile, Radio Australia was scheduled to start 11980 via Darwin at 1600, and
this has been audible recently. From a few minutes before, only that blasted
rapid clicking centered on 11982 was audible, and likewise after 1600, so Radio
Australia seems to be gone already.
See above schedule for resumption at 2200 or 2300 of several Darwin
frequencies, if they still exist one more day (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake music jamming, Jan 30 at 1532: good but fluttery on 8400;
poor on 10210; just a het on 9000 and nothing on 7585 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. RRI doing well on 75 and 60 meters Jan 29: 3995 at 1342
with music whenever the SSB-senders would pause, i.e. Kendari.
4750, Makassar, best in quite a while at 1345 with semi-classical piano music,
talkovers, still at 1413 when singing and violin had been added. SSOB except
for 5025 Cuba at the outset.
9526-, VOI Jakarta, unusually on the air at 1534, since CRI East Turkistan 9525
had a het on it; CRI English dominated, but VOI probably also in English (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SAIPAN. IBB transmitter on 9725 is upacting again, Jan 30 at 1537 with
Vietnamese from VOA, putting hash up to 9735 but apparently not to the low
side. It could have been far worse as in previous logs, but needs tweaking now
to prevent further deterioration (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SAUDI ARABIA. Buzzing Service of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, bad as it was
Jan 29, got even worse Jan 30 at 1522 check. Now the horrible buzz from 15435
transmitter even QRMs its own // Qur`an service on 15225, as the full brunt
covers roughly 15205-15500, with 4-per-minute pulsing edges reaching down to
15115 and up to 15940! At first the upper boundary between brunt and pulses was
around 15500, but by 1526 it shifted up to 15840.
The only signal in this entire range which was strong enough to overcome it was
Portugal on 15560; all other stations suffering harmful interference which is
totally unnecessary, but will a single one of them complain? How about at HFCC
A-10 imminent in Kuala Lumpur? If any Saudi reps are there, they should get an
earful, e.g. from Dr Jerry Plummer representing WWCR and all private US
stations.
Will a single one of victims` would-be listeners complain? How many of them
would figure it`s a local noise problem rather than callously transmitted from
Riyadh? Those who believe in the Qur`an might consider boycotting Sa`udi Arabia
in any way possible including suspending their Hajj.
Wolfgang B?schel in Germany was also monitoring this and reported at 1601 Jan
30, neatly/nearly matching our obs: ``Top record, BSKSA Riyadh on 15435 kHz
heavy BUZZ signal super wide in 15108 to 15938 kHz range. Scheduled 15-18 UT.``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SOUTH AFRICA. 17860, pleased to hear a bit of Bokmakirie birdchirping
surviving from the old Radio RSA days, Jan 30 at 1459 as Channel Africa was
about to open Swahili service with IDs also in English. Don`t often hear this
transmission which is not aimed USward, of course, but 19 degrees from Meyerton
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SRI LANKA. 9650, Jan 30 at 1536, immediately identifiable tnx to DW riff,
and S Asian language, flutter. I bet this is via Trincomalee. Yes, Aoki shows
Bengali at 345 degrees, while before 1530 it`s Hindi at 15 degrees. Now, why
wouldn`t they aim Bengali toward Bengal, instead of further west than Hindi??
Probably they do not, as HFCC shows them both at 15 degrees (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. Lavwadalmerik, checking the 0200 UT transition between overt and
covert broadcasts to Haiti: Jan 30 at 0159:30, 5960 started playing ``Yellow
Bird`` and it was shortly overlain by NHK IS via Canada starting Japanese
trihour as Greenville went off. After 0200, LVA continued on 7465, but not
heard on 7590 which was previously back on // until 0300. Unfortunately, I did
not get around to checking for it later in the hour in case it was just late
upcoming (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 4050, looking again for the KWMO third harmonic from Washington, MO,
Jan 30 at 0606, traces of country music, a bit better at 0614 with YL DJ
talking about who would sing the NA at the Superbowl. Just barely audible tho
S-meter displayed S9; trouble is, the noise level on a clear frequency was S8.
0621 more country music peaking.
This matches the format when I heard them some weeks ago with a definite ID,
but none this time. As for ``The Mouth`` slogan I mentioned yesterday, that has
not been heard but listed in the NRC AM Log 2009-2010, when they had a talk
format, probably outdated now.
Day power is 500 watts, night power 84 watts on fundamental 1350. Compared to
inbooming AM hams on 80 meters as far away as New England, who could not be
running more than 1000 watts, I could now believe the extremely weak KWMO
signal on 4050 is really just a fraxion of the night power, not necessarily the
day power (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

11635 kHz to North America surprisingly strong and excellent audio quality
by the tube of the 2nd TX at Shijak, S=9+30dB superb, but on \\ 7465 kHz
channel much poorer.
ARGENTINA 15344.89...88 kHz by RAE Buenos Aires more than fair S=8 signal,
on weekends in usual Spanish section at 1930 UT.
NIGERIA 15120 strong at S=9+10dB level at 1935 UT. Modulation amplitude
for music segment was too high. But talk audio from studio was superb
"clean" tonight. Music selection from West Africa sound was excellent.
Also noted very strong VoVenezuela in Spanish on 15290 kHz via Quivican Cuba
at 1900-2000 UT.
French of RCI Montreal to Africa higher-than-average on 13650, 15365, and
17790! ... and Skelton 11845 kHz relay too.

** ALBANIA. 13640, R. Tirana, VG S9+12 signal for English to NAm at 1530 Jan
30: going from talk to music segment at 1543, and no problem from doomed
Darwin transmission of CVC whose carrier was barely detectable on 13635; see
AUSTRALIA. 1553 the music outro sounded like ``Dance with Me``, then another
folk song with ululations, 1557 outro that as ``Folk edition musical
program``, closing theme to 1558, IS until 1600 and open carrier until
1601*. Altho modulation level was good, modulation quality was as usual
deficient, especially during the music (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING

** AUSTRALIA [and non]. Is Darwin still on the air January 31? Yes! But it
should be the last day ever.
UT January 30 at 2159 I look for the three frequencies scheduled to start at
2200, 9585 CVC Chinese, 9630 RA Indonesian, and 12010 RA English --- nothing.
But Maltilda is Waltzing on 15560, loud and clear from Shepparton; path from
Darwin is rather different, but there should be some traces if on the air.
Then at 2200 I find RA on 12040 in English, which is the new Palau relay, news
running about 3.5 seconds behind 15560. Must be quite a circuitous feed route;
since VTC is involved, to London and back?
Finally at 2201 I am also hearing RA English on 12010, and that is Darwin, with
a much shorter delay, less than one second or about one word behind 15560. It`s
weaker than 12040. Must have come on a bit late, or at least without any
pr?lude.
By 2206 I check the 31m channels again, and now I am getting them fairly: 9585
with music which I assume is CVC Chinese service, and 9630 in Indonesian talk,
soon music, which fits for Radio Australia.
The fourth transmitter starts at 2300 with CVC Indonesian on 15250 (some
sources say 15255), so here I repeat the full schedule showing that also at
2300 the 9585 service switches to 15170, and the 12010 service switches to
Burmese.
