As there are not many logs from DRM monitoring, I thought I would give it a
go now I can actually decode DRM (using a Racal RA1792) and Dream software:
DRM log from 7 Feb:
13810 0840 BBC/DW from Sines SNR: 23.5dB ID: "BBC & DW" Playing pop songs -
English
11900 0842 BNR HORIZONT from Sofia SNR: 18dB ID: "BNR DIGITAL" male and
female talking - Bulgarian
11635 0845 VOICE OF RUSSIA from Taldom SNR: 22.5dB ID "VOICE OF RUSSIA" Pop
songs and male explaining the meaning of each song - English
9870 0849 RNZI Could hear digital hash but nothing decoded except for
partial header.
9780 0850 Radio Exterior de Espana from Noblejas. SNR: 19.3dB ID "REE
Noblejas". female talking - Spanish
9610 0853 BBC/DW from Sines SNR: 22dB ID: "BBC & DW", Playing pop songs -
English
6095 0856 RTL Radio from Junglinster. SNR: 17dB. ID: "RTL Radio" Pop music

Conditions do not appear that good today compared to some recent mornings.

Papua New Guinea, 3290, Radio Central, 1114-1120,
Noted a weak signal here with
typical music and a male in comments afterwards. Very
Threshold signal.
(Chuck Bolland, February 7, 2010)
Indonesia, 9526, Voice of Indonesia, 1122-1130, Noted
a female in Chinese
language comments. Thus assumed this was VOI being on
9526 and
in Chinese at this time. Signal was fair too. (Chuck
Bolland,
February 7, 2010)
Indonesia, 9680, RRI Jakarta, 1133-1145, Noted at tune
in steady music which was
typically Indonesian. At 1134, the signal dropped off
the air suddenly for about
ten seconds, then it came back up. Overall that signal
was good (75.0 dBm)

** AUSTRALIA. 11660, RA at 1433 Sunday Feb 7, quiz asking ``what mythical Hindu
bird is similar to the Phoenix?`` Contestant needed a hint: Indonesian airline.
This is during the 4-hour, except for news on the hour ``Sunday Nights``
program at 12-16 per the RA program schedule:
``The program features talkback on an issue of topical interest (usually the
first hour), an in-depth interview, the popular Inquizition quiz, great music,
and the One O'Clock Chat Room.
Presenter: John Cleary``, see http://www.abc.net.au/sundaynights/
RA is currently scheduled on 11660, 13-17, 329 degrees from Shepparton (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [and non]. Arnie Coro`s henchmen at the DentroCuban Jamming Command are
still attacking his former colleague at RHC, Keith Perron: UT Sunday Feb 7 at
0613, a repeat of Happy Station on WRMI 9955 vs jamming pulses. See USA: WRMI
for more.
11760, Sunday Feb 7 at 1539 with VG signal unlike weekdays when they have
switched to the other antenna/transmitter which is weaker at midday. Probably
because still on same setup as for Esperanto 1500-1530 Sundays only. 1539
program had some memorias culturales of Cuban musicians in New York, during
Formalmente Informal, which is normally heard weekdays at 1430 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also VENEZUELA [non]
** ETHIOPIA [and non]. 9560, Sunday Feb 7 at 1534 station in Chinese, with het
whose pitch was constantly wavering. No doubt the latter is the perpetually
off-frequency Ethiopia. Per WRTH, at 15-16 it`s carrying the clandestine Voice
of Democratic Alliance, headquartered in Khartoum, against Eritrea, at the
moment in Tigrinya, and also using Arabic, Afar, Kunama depending on day of
week and which half hour. Aoki shows the Chinese as CRI via Kashgar, EAST
TURKISTAN (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GREECE. 7475, ERT at 0650 Feb 7, fun music which another listener evaluated
as ``beer drinking songs``, due to wavering amateur pitches and general level
of enthusiasm, but this was really the Sunday morning trihour Voice of Greece
dedicates to Greek Orthodox services, where there is no separation of church
and state broadcaster.
But just as we were getting into it, cut off abruptly without announcement,
explanation or apology, at 0652:35*. Yes, it`s time to retune that Avlis to
12105, come hell or high water. All we could do was retune to // 9420 for
continuation, but much weaker there (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GUAM [and non]. 11940, at 1430 Feb 7, English ID from KSDA, Agat,
introducing program in a language I could not catch, due to co-channel from
Romania. Aoki says it`s Karen daily following Chin daily at 1400-1430.
Coincidentally, both stations are aiming 285 degrees from their respective
sites, RRI`s being Galbeni, which due to their wide separation means there
should be no conflict --- except way off here in deep North America (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MOROCCO [and non]. RTVM still on 15345 instead of 15341, Feb 7 at 1424,
Arabic with perpetual whine out of transmitter. Have they also left 15341
completely earlier in the day? Morocco does not participate in HFCC, but we
can`t help but wonder if as part of the just-concluded conference in Kuala
Lumpur, representative of HCJB Australia somehow prevailed upon Morocco to get
off 15341, especially since they weren`t running it on 15340, and always
causing a het to HCJB using 15340 at 1145-1530, 307 degrees from Kununurra to
Asia.
Aoki`s latest info was for B-08: `15340`, 09-15, RTVM, 250 kW, 110 degrees from
Nador, then 15345 same parameters at 15-22. Making a shift at 1500 from 15340/1
to 15345 may have originally had some interference-avoiding purpose, no longer
vigent and may as well be on 15345 from 0900.
Axually, in the best of all possible worlds, the current situation calls for
RTVM to shift from 15345 back to 15340 sometime between 1530 and 1700 or 1800,
liberating 15345 for ARGENTINA! Fat chance.
RAE was supposedly developing some kind of relationship with HFCC short of full
participation requiring payment of dues, much less attending conferences in
person. Did the Moroccans even show up as informal observers when a recent HFCC
was held in nextdoor Tunisia? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** RUSSIA. VOR`s English to NAm frequencies in the 06-07 UT hour, 9840 and
9855, from Pet/Kam and Vladivostok respectively, have not been making it here
the past several weeks during the darkest nights of winter; but a bit of solar
flux and tilting toward spring helped audiblize them Feb 7 at 0646, during some
story-telling.
As before, 9840 quite a bit stronger than 9855, but 9840 has co-channel QRM
under from the other Russian transmission from Moscow area in a prime example
of self-defeating frequency planning. // 12030 if still in use, is even less
likely to propagate (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SUDAN [non]. Another check of the collision on 15670, Sunday Feb 7: already
on at 1418, not anything African, but Celine Dion with some of her popular
hits, still at 1427; and ``We Are the World`` on and on at 1437, presumably
including her participation. Is this really being outsent by Miraya FM from
Sudan, or from somewhere else as pr?lude to the intentional relay via Rimavsk?
Sobota, SLOVAKIA?
By 1459 reception had worsened, still music; 1504 could tell they were now in
expected programming, mixing English and Arabic about Southern Sudan.
At 1513 the fluttery 15670 signal had SAH, I think, from the Pridnestrovye
transmitter already upwarming open carrier as also noted yesterday. At 1529,
the Russian tuneup tones were ending and 1530 starting Radio Mada audio mixing
about equally with Miraya and SAH of almost 3 Hz.
Alfredo Cotroneo of NEXUS says there is no QRM from Mada in Miraya`s Sudan
target area, so doesn`t plan to move. That may be, but Madagascar is only 10
degrees away from the 160-degree azimuth out of Slovakia, so Mada listeners are
likely to have a problem with Miraya.
Anyhow, there`s no point in going head to head when plenty of clear frequencies
are available nearby such as 15660 and 15680, where Miraya should have gone in
the first place, ex-9825. Altho Mada was on 15670 first, since its usage is
relatively brief, it should make the shift. Tune in next weekend (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U K [non]. 9440, Feb 7 at 0647 XYLs discussing, with babies constantly
crying and wailing in the background (thus I assume the women are not mere
YLs). 0658 mention BBC World Service, and Nigeria, off at 0659:30. Had not
noticed this before, Hausa via Ascension at 0630 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST) See also CUBA
** U S A. While 15390 was missing for a while, it`s back as the third frequency
for the 22-23 UT hour of Lavwadlamerik, Feb 6 at 2221 check // 13725 and 11905.
Also reconfirmed 7590 still in use at least during the 00-01 hour, at 0013 Feb
7.
A Fondo, the new VOA/Mart? collaboration, was originally announced as M-F only,
tho still listed on the VOA A-Z schedule as daily 01-02. But nothing on 7340,
9415 and 11625 at 0140 check Feb 7, so it really is off weekends (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO confirmed on new 4775 via WWCR, UT Sundays
0330, checked Feb 7, ex-5070. Our apologies to the Djiboutians, and those who
would DX them, but it was not our idea. I suppose it`s still possible if they
turn 4780 on a few minutes before 0300 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WRMI, 9955: at 1503 Feb 7, R. Prague relay in English fairly audible
without jamming; more of a problem, overload from PPP WWCR 9980. 1536 during
Baseball Mexico, Bruce Baskin mentioning various teams including the Chihuahua
somethings. This certainly is a curious program, but he does his best to make
an obscure subject interesting in a non-native language.
WORLD OF RADIO reconfirmed after 1615 Sunday when I was only checking webcast.
16-18 UT programming on weekends repeats at 18-20, i.e. WORLD OF RADIO again at
1815. At 1825 check, I could hear nothing but jamming on 9955, wondering if
WRMI is now on the air, but WOR confirmed repeating then on webcast.
Yet another playback of WOR is on the schedule for 2000 UT Sunday; can anyone
hear that on 9955? It`s the last until Tuesday at 1630 and new UT Wednesday
0230 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) More jamming: see CUBA
** U S A [and non]. 11715, KJES at 1432 Feb 7, steady S9+12 dominating
Lampertheim, kids singing with guitar, then into robokids copying catechisms
prompted by adult. Wanted to tell whether RVA relay via Vatican during the next
hour was mass in English instead of Tagalog as heard a few Sundays ago, but
still too much KJES to discern that, also causing low het (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** VENEZUELA [non]. Al?, Presidente check Sunday Feb 7 at 1824: all five
frequencies via CUBA audible with El Hugazo speaking, in order of decreasing
strength: 12010, 13750, 11690, 17750, 13680. But 11690 had SAH and co-channel
in Hausa, i.e. DW via RWANDA during this hour. I never catch exactly when A,P
is starting now; has anyone? RHC long ago gave up doing its own prologue from
1400, despite displaying that on its schedules. And where`s Calabazo?? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 15570, once again with strong open carrier, and some hum, Feb 7
at 1500, splatter from Portugal 15560. Presumably Greenville test before coming
up later on 15580 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###
