not "KBS World Radio" as I would have expected. On 9545 (also from

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1
** CHILE. CVC Calera de Tango site survived the quake, still on air with usual
good signal here.
17680 at 1812 check with reports in Spanish about the quake, e.g. the airport
is closed; no doubt from the Miami studios, as it would be unthinkable to
originate anything from Chile itself.
Telemundo and Univisi?n are also covering it on US television (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake Feb 27: not audible on 8400 for a change, at 1347 check and
later.
Amused myself by another check of the 7220 anomaly, Feb 27 at 1359: open
carrier until REE IS at 1359:48, then at 1400:00 cutting to CRI opening in
Chinese. The Kunmingers still don`t trust themselves to get into CRI at the
right instant preventing REE IS from being shortwaved worldwide by mistake
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENNG DIGEST)
** CUBA. 11600, DCJC pulse jamming running later than usual -2200, Feb 26 still
going at 2228; presumably provoked by a never-heard R. Rep?blica transmitter in
Central America (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** FRANCE. Some ham contest is underway making 15m more active than otherwise,
Feb 27 at 1427. I keep hearing stations from France, such as 21217-USB, a
station preferring to speak French, which surely is a way to lessen one`s
totals, ``appelle contest``, ``? l`ecoute``, and kept saying sixty-thirteen
with every transmission. I was still trying to copy his F- call when he quit
the frequency, perhaps frustrated with the lack of response, or too close to
the next one.
21213-USB, at 1430 F6KNB was making contacts in English and French, with
readings such as 59-33. QRZ.com shows it is a club station near Bordeaux with a
number of photos.
F6KNB, RADIO CLUB RADIOAMPT (post & telecom)
7 all?e le sous bois
VILLENAVE D'ORNON, 33140, France
QSL: F5GGL
And on 21230 approx, at 1433, TK5EP, fonetik, CQ Contest. QRZ.Com shows:
TK5EP, Patrick EGLOFF
R?s. Terra Rossa imm. le pinson D1
AJACCIO 20090, Corsica
At 1434 on 21235, F6IPQ:
MANUEL LOPEZ
POUTET, LE LEDAT
VILLENEUVE SUR LOT, FRANCE
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GOA. 15175, Feb 27 at 1548 strong S9+8 signal but lousy distorted modulation
cutting off at softer points; 1550 mentioned Akashvani and then S Asian music.
Don`t you believe PWBR `2009` which says this is AIR via Bangalore to E Africa.
Current Aoki and HFCC agree it`s now via Panaji, in Gujarati at 1515-1600, 250
kW, 205 degrees. But neither has a way of denoting that the modulation sux,
typical for Goa site but not alone in the AIR network (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. VOI, after a few days on 9525- instead of 9526-, Feb 27 at 1355
found back on the higher frequency, almost --- guess 9525.85 approx. as it`s
not so close to 9526.0 as before. Does this mean transmitter #3? Was off the
air during most of the 14 UT hour, but next check at 1459, back on with lite
music, and het from CRI East Turkistan on 9525.0; 1504 VOI English ID, then
warta berita in Indonesian (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MADAGASCAR [non]. After finally getting on a clear frequency last weekend
via PRIDNESTROVYE, R. Mada is missing this Sat Feb 27 from 1530, nothing on
15660, while Miraya FM via SLOVAKIA continues on 15670. Check again Sunday at
same time. Has R. Mada decided to quit again? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** MALAYSIA/SARAWAK. 5030 was doing quite nicely Feb 27, gaining on Cuba 5025
before 1400, and still audible with singing and drumming music at 1422, now way
above the Rebelde level (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PHILIPPINES [non]. 11715, this time, Sat Feb 27 at 1509, Catholix vs
pseudo-Catholix, RVA via VATICAN had the upper hand over KJES, which amounted
to an annoying lo het.
1510 a snippet of Olympic theme music but Tagalog talk to follow seemed
unrelated to Vancouver. In homage to American colonialism, the talk included
numerous words and expressions in English, such as: ``presidential
candidates``, ``interviews``, ``they`re all basically the same``,
``corruption``, ``employment``. 1518 another Olympic theme fragment and on to
next topic.
Tsk2, The Church is meddling in pilipino politix!! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** RUSSIA [and non]. 9470, carrier with intermittent Russian tune-up tones, Feb
27 at 1352 atop AIR Aligarh // but not synch National Channel via Bengaluru
9425. No Russian in Aoki, but in EiBi and HFCC as VOR, Moscow site in Russian
to ME starting at 1400 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SOLOMON ISLANDS. 5020, still hearing an open carrier, as late as 1422 Feb
27, balancing stronger Malaysia 5030 on the other side of fading-out Cuba. At
least I can`t make out any modulation on 5020. If SIBC is so impoverished, that
they can`t print QSL cards, and had to drop the BBCWS relay overnight because
of the electric bill, why are they still running the transmitter anyway?
Remember the previous revelation that they could not even afford chairs for
their studio (Well, people project better when they are standing up) (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TIBET [non]. 7470, S9+22 at 1340 Feb 27, carrier with some hum and whine but
no program modulation. R. Free Asia schedule in DXLD 10-06 shows Tibetan via
secret site, while Aoki reveals it`s Ulan Bator, MONGOLIA, from which a refund
is due the US Government. After 1400 Tibetan continues on 7470 but it`s VOA`s
via Tinang (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 17775, KVOH music strong enough at 2229 Feb 26 to audiblize whining
spur noise blob around 17920 and the weaker one around 17630 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WTWW has not been on the air this week, as George McClintock has
still been working on the equipment and waiting for a part from Continental.
But he says he is quite impressed and pleased with the transmitter.
Further program tests are scheduled Feb 28-March 2 with live broadcasts hosted
by Ted Randall from the annual National Religious Broadcasters convention in
Nashville, starting Sunday at 1800 or 1900 UT on 9480, and also all-day Monday
and Tuesday ending at 2200 March 2. Ted will be asking probing questions as he
interviews many religious broadcasters attending the convention.
FCC has now authorized WTWW to use 9480 straight through from 1200 to 2400 UT,
no longer switching to 9475 at 1900-2200; and 5755 after 0000. Has YFR quit
9480 via Germany at 19-22, or no longer computed to be an official collision?
Here`s the NRB schedule of events
http://www.nrbconvention.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=9319
but that doesn`t mean what`s heard on WTWW will follow that exactly.
George also says that program tests at other times will probably come from
Pastor Pete Peters, as already on the stream, but a final decision on WTWW
programming has still not been made. Expect an announcement about that next
weekend (Glenn Hauser, OK, Feb 27, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. Dave Frantz of WWRB has invited WORLD OF RADIO to be heard on 3185,
UT Fridays at 0430 probably starting this week, and we assume shifting to 0330
UT Fridays from mid-March once DST is in effect. This should be a good time for
reception across North America, 11:30 pm Eastern, 10:30 Central, 9:30 Mountain,
8:30 Pacific. It will also be one of the earliest airings when the information
contained is freshest.
Dave says he has been working on upgrading WWRB programming, getting rid of
anti-Semitic and political shows by attrition, requiring infomercials to post
surety bonds, which none have been willing to do! (Glenn Hauser, OK, Feb 27, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. WRMI, 9955: Saturday Feb 27 at 1415, AWR Wavescan in
progress with Cuban jamming pulses at the rate of approx. 127 per minute, i.e.
from a single transmitter, rather than a wall of noise from multiple sites. S/N
ratio had worsened however by a semihour later when WORLD OF RADIO was in
progress, and WRMI`s own signal was much weaker than 9950 Palau 345 degrees
with Furusato no Kaze in Japanese; and much, much, much weaker than WWCR from
9980 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. 15420v, WBCQ reduced open carrier already on at 1546 atop
BBC and producing audible het; not checked again until 1615 when the BS was in
progress, Feb 27 Sabbath-morning-only broadcast from Walterboro (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 13645, one more check for last week`s mystery, heard in Brasil
between 16 and 17: zilch, Feb 27 at 1610 and later past 1630 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

SURINAM 4989.97 R. Apintie 1030 canned ID promo by W during ad block.
Fairly decent signal at the very odd late time!! Modulation seemed higher than
usual too. More power maybe?? (27 Feb)
PAPUA NEW GUINEA?? 3355.04 R. Simbu (tent.) 1022-1027 MOR mx, and
definitely and EG vcl song. 1042 tlk by W and occasionally hrd M as well.
Actually a little better earlier. Not hrd after 1049 and think it may have
gone off around 1050. (27 Feb)
PAPUA NEW GUINEA 3260 R. Madang 1148-1207* Long Island song. M anncr in
PD w/song anmnts, welcome greetings, and ment of upcoming medley of Pop songs.
Then said medley over ToH. M returned at 1203 w/song anmnt, then full NBC ID
w/SW and FM freqs, and ending w/QTH. Something said by child, then into soft
island song to 1207 cut off near the end, some deadair, then signal gone.
Great signal!! (27 Feb)
PAPUA NEW GUINEA 3275 R. Southern Highlands 1148-1210 Interview pgm
seemingly about road construction in the Province w/many ments of Mendi and
Highlands. 1210 thank you's, then the recording ended unfortunately. Quite
readable after 1200. (27 Feb)
INDONESIA 4869.94 RRI Wamena (pres.) Hrd prior to 1200. Nx pgm after
1200-1222, then mx pgm. Definite IN. Sounded like it might be // 3344.97.
Was still getting bits of audio at 1310, then lcl QRN started. Could still see
the signal spike at 1330. (27 Feb)

** BRAZIL. 4845, one of the Brazilians with play-by-play of some SBG, producing
bad het, presumably with Mauritania, 0020 Feb 28 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [and non]. 9955, WRMI Saturday-evening exile block, fair signal with no
or maybe minimal jamming, UT Sunday Feb 28 at 0031 discussing the death of
hunger-striking political prisoner Orlando Zapata, and Castro`s ``apology`` for
it. Same topic when next checked at 0119. According to latest schedule of a
week ago, at 0030-0045 it`s Voz de Coordinadora, 0100-0130 Conversando entre
Cubanos.
Meanwhile at 0030, plenty of heavy noise jamming on 9810 against nothing,
ex-Rep?blica, also 9825 against R. Mart? and 9885 against VOA Spanish (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** EGYPT. Incredibly awful signals from R. Cairo, Feb 28 at 0036: 9390 big
carrier but whine and undermodulated; 9915 had similar mix of talk and music,
but not //, and in contrast was very distorted and overmodulated; they should
split the difference? 6270 was open carrier, no modulation unlike somewhat
distorted Arabic on 6290. All three of them supposedly carry Spanish starting
at 0045 but 9915 and 6270 are not scheduled to open until then (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NETHERLANDS [non]. RN Spanish, good on both 9865 via Sines, PORTUGAL, and
9895 via Greenville, USA, UT Sunday Feb 28 at 0034 with ``La Fonoteca``, DJ
Alfonso Montealegre, who we thought had retired last September. Replaying old
shows, or an independent contractor now? Strangely, both pop songs I heard were
in English; why? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NEW ZEALAND [and non]. RNZI with continuous tsunami coverage before and
after 21 UT Feb 27 on 17675, reports from Hawaii, warnings to other islands.
Unfortunately with the usual adjacent QRM from stronger CVC Chile 17680, which
had continuous quake coverage all afternoon. Thus the only two stations
directly covering the quake/tsunami on 16m are interfering with each other
despite plenty of other clear frequencies on the band as this colossal
mismanagement of SW frequencies goes on.
Was not hearing R. Australia until after 2200 on 15560 with of course news on
same subject, but 2205 into regular Correspondents Report program (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9369v, WTJC upacting again, Feb 28 at 0038 with gospel music
splattering 9362-9385 and maybe further but obscured by WYFR 9355 and Cairo
9390. Fundamental itself was distorted and with clicking noises (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. Tnx to tip from Will Martin, WWCR has decided to replace 4775 with
4840 from 0300 starting March 1. Tnx to tip from Gilles Letourneau, they were
already testing it at 0300-0400 UT Feb 28. This of course affects the UT Sunday
0330 airing of WORLD OF RADIO, originally on 5070.
4840 is pretty weak here at 0315, but I suppose 4775 would have been too under
current propagation conditions. 4840 seems to be on the edge of CODAR heard
just below it, while 4775 was in the middle of some CODAR, usually not a
problem when WWCR was inbooming, but last night around 0600 it was also weakish
there interfering with CODAR, which in this utility band presumably has
priority.
Unclear if WWCR`s latest shift is reactive or proactive. 4840 should have fewer
issues with other broadcast stations since nothing but Mumbai is scheduled
there at times which will not conflict. As always, there are some adjacent
Latin Americans which will be affected.
And the biggest signal from Africa, Mauritania on 4845. It also has ute QRM to
one side most of the time. See also BRAZIL.
The WWCR spur which formerly showed up on 7095 when 4775 leapt over 5935 would
now land on 7030.
Earlier I happened to tune to 12160 at 2255 UT Feb 27, and stuck because it was
playing Bach on synthesizer/authentic instrument. That must have been fill
after Golden Age of Radio. 2258 QSY announcement to 5070 with steel drums and
shortly off (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 4050-, Feb 28 at 0024, country music barely audible at peaks, no
doubt once again, 3 x KWMO 1350 Washington MO. Slightly low in frequency as
also previously detected (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [non]. 11575, good signal but flutter, Feb 28 at 0131 with Pres. Obama
comment, voice-over in Pashto; 0158 with Deewa Radio ID, address, 0200 VOA YDD
jingle. Scheduled 01-04 via Sri Lanka, 250 kW, 340 degrees (Glenn Hauser, OK,
