Comment:
Theo, location shows the CRI Foreign service Urumchi Hutubi site
with 26 masts.
Domestic XJBS broadcasting location coordinates are different, location is
rather 35 kilometers southeastwards.
CHN Urumqi older SW domestic site Changji, 15tx of 50 to 100 kW power.
58 masts visible.

Indonesia, 4869.89, RRI Wamena,(pres), 1020-1035,
Noted a female in comments until
1025. Following the comments, music is presented. The
female comments again at
1030. The signal is absolutely threshold. Even the
music is barely audible. However,
this station is not often heard at my location, so I
consider this a prize this morning.
(Chuck March 16, 2010)
Papua New Guinea, 3905.50, Radio New Ireland,(TENT)
1033-1045, Noted a male in English language
religious(?) comments which were before an audience.
There's so much chatter from ARO's that
the male talking is buried in the QRM. According to
both AOKI and EIBI, RNI uses Pidgin.
Signal was poor. (Chuck, March 16, 2010)
Papua New Guinea, 3385, Radio East New Britain,
1046-1100, Noted two males in Pigdin language
comments with bridge music in the back ground. An
automatic signal on the same freq caused
enough interference to spoil the listening. Even so,
the signal was fair. (Chuck March 16, 2010)
Peru, 5039.16, Radio Libertad,(pres) 1053-1105, At
tune in, noted authentic Hauynos music with
a male talking over the music periodically. At 1058
canned promos and ID, but very poor,
making copy difficult. Changed receivers and the signal
was better on the second receiver.
Unfortunately, the ID portion of the program had been
given already. Signal was also poor.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1
** CHINA [and non]. Firedrake March 16: 8400 good with flutter at 1324,
`ramshorn` to drumming-only segment, // much weaker 9000. At 1326 also on //
9380. At 1419 also on 7585 atop something, much weaker than // 8400, and
nothing Coplandesque discernible during this Firedrake minute.
Aoki has nothing on 7585 at this hour, not even SOH, but Radio of Tajikistan
has reserved the frequency so now may be relaying something objexionable to the
ChiCom. 9380 FD is there because of SOH, but DW suffers collateral damage, if
it has not moved yet (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [and non]. RHC still on 6180 at 1315 March 16, and still on 9600 at
1332, both of which supposedly close at 1300. Confused apparently by local DST
time shift so running an hour late?
The DentroCuban Jamming Command continues to attack the French to Haiti service
of WRMI, 9955, during its new hour of 13-14 M-F, pulsing mixed with it at 1338
March 16 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. 3325, March 16 at 1257 conversation in Indonesian, one of them on
phone, 1259 mentioned Palangkaraya but no specific ID heard, same kept going
past 1300; fair signal. 3325 is RRI Palangkaraya; also something on 3345,
Ternate? Both also have PNG stations.
9525-, VOI, March 16 at 1329, undermodulated talk in English, seems scripted
item and not in the voice of the Banjarmasin guy who surely was on elsewhen
this Tuesday. Also suffers from hum, adjacent interference from both sides, and
flutter.
Strangely, RRI 9680 at 1333 was not only much better modulated as usual but
without the flutter even tho they are from the same site.
Therefore, the main variable must be the transmitted azimuths, 30 degrees on
9525 and 316 on 9680, per Aoki.
Theoretically, 30 USward should be much better here, but also getting upmessed
in the auroral zone. If 9680 is really aimed NW from Cimanggis, its relatively
good reception here to the NNE is even more remarkable, and how does it avoid
the flutter? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KUWAIT. 11670-11675-11680, DRM from MOI (Ministry of Information) making a
buzz against REE Spain 11680, as I was hunting for its Sephardic broadcast at
0115 March 16. This buzz has a different sound to it than your usual DRM, so I
wonder if that correlates with the very low bitrate that DRM monitors have been
reporting from Kuwait. Does the bitrate affect the sound of DRM when heard on
AM?
Strangely enough, this broadcast is not in HFCC, just D = non-digital from
Kuwait on 11675 starting at 0315. But it is here
http://www.drm.org/for-listeners/live-broadcast-schedule/
at 2200-0300, 350 degrees to ENAm, 120 kW (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 6104.8, tell-tale het from XEQM, March 16 at 1422 against something
Asian on 6105.0. Otherwise, have not logged M?rida for some time with readable
audio which used to be possible after 0600 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** SAIPAN. 11650, March 16 at 1340 religious talk in Turkic language, and some
nice music, then almost all praise music until 1359 ID unexpectedly in Russian
as KFBS, Saipan, Radio Teos, and off. Good signal but slight het from something
off-frequency. Per EiBi, WRTH and Aoki, none of which mentions the Radio Teos
ID, on Tuesdays at 1330-1345 it`s in Udmurt, 1345-1400 in Tatar (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SPAIN. Another fruitless search for REE`s Sephardic service to South
America, scheduled for UT Tuesdays 0115-0145 on 11780 per some sources, 11795
announced on the previous 1425-1455 broadcast heard on correct 15385.
At 0113-0117 March 16, nothing at all on 11795. Usual huge signal from Bras?lia
on 11780 with music. Spain however had a respectable signal in Castilian on
11680 to S America, so I really think I should have been able to detect
something under RNA on 11780, at least the REE IS, if anything was there.
Could the broadcast be on some totally different unknown frequency? I did
search the entire 25 m band (only) and did not find any sign of it. Also
checked 9690 and 9650, registered at 0115 or 0415 as alternates: nothing.
At 0413 UT Tue I tuned to 9690 to find VG signal with REE IS, and 0415 fanfare,
sign-on in Ladino claiming this is on 9650, and the 0115 on 11795! It will be a
banner day if all the announced and transmitted frequencies for these
judeo-espa?ol broadcasts ever match up. How can one produce a SW broadcast week
after week and not care enough to find out what frequencies it is on? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SRI LANKA. 11905, S Asian music at 0116 March 16, fair signal from SLBC. In
my early DXing years, before all the hi-power relay stations, it was quite a
thrill to pick up Radio Ceylon from the opposite worldside for the first time,
and this brought back a bit of that. QSL from 1959 on 15265:
http://www.w4uvh.net/ceylon.jpg (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 9800, March 16 at 1335, something with hum of same pitch as AIR
on 9690, so much of it that could not discern the language under. I thought
sure it must be another AIR transmission from same site, Bengaluru, but none
such listed, in HFCC or Aoki, just VOR in Russian, 500 kW, 150 degrees from
Irkutsk.
Instead it must be a common transmitter problem; I am not adept at estimating
such pitches, but may be 100 Hz = 2 x mains frequency 50 Hz, as others have
reported, equivalent to 120 Hz hum from 60 Hz areas (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 11845, March 16 at 0117, low-pitched buzz here somewhat like a
junior Saudi Buzz. Only thing listed is a CRI 500 kW transmitter at Xi`an; out
of order? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###
