Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1
** CHINA. 5075, going from music to Chinese talk, March 22 at 1246, vs ute
beeps from 5078. Must be V. of Pujiang, Shanghai, supposedly only 15 kW
southward, partly in Amoy per Aoki. At 1252 also had Chinese on 4940, i.e. V.
of Strait, Fuzhou.
And WWRB 5050 had considerable CCI and SAH at 1250 March 22, where there are
two Chinese stations until 1300, V. of Beibu Bay, and China Huayi.
7220, at 1400 March 21, still barely audible the REE IS by mistake, morphing
into the CRI IS, via Kunming. This anomaly will probably go away in A-10, or
show up on some other frequency.
9380, Firedrake with flutter, March 22 at 1311; 11500 at 1333, VG Firedrake
during drumming, and still at 1432 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GUAHAN. 15660, March 22 at 1337 YL with S Asian accent in English telling
morality story for children, mentioning baseball instead of cricket, so must
have been written by a North American. Ended at 1341 with ID as Voice of Hope,
from Pune, India. Good signal, and really from KSDA, which at 1330-1400 is
scheduled in English daily except Sundays and Wednesdays (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. 9526-, VOI, March 22 at 1312 soft-spoken OM in unID language.
Supposed to be English during this hour, but could not make out a word due to
his accent. Must have been English, because switch to YL at 1315 for Today in
History suddenly became understandable. Modulation level sufficient tho hum on
carrier, but ACI from 9530, and flutter (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ITALY. 21320-USB, March 22 at 1417, IZ4DLR in contact with a KG4 (or KC4?).
Did not give call fonetically so not 100% sure, but QRZ.com shows: Ivan
Costantini, (Longara) Calderara di Reno, BO 40012. This was the best of only
three signals audible on ``15m`` at the time. On 13m, Saudi signals were much
better than Spain (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO [and non]. 6185, March 21 at 0534, a fast SAH between XEPPM and
reactivated RNA Bras?lia, the latter dominant with music // 11780, and also
atop Vatican on 6185. As UT Sunday, RNA runs all-night, but other nights off
the air until sometime between 0730 and 0800; March 22 at 0703, XEPPM was still
in the clear with ID. It still has plenty of CCI from Vatican until 0619.
In A-10 shortly, Vatican finishes with 6185 at 0500, so that will help.
Unfortunately, CRI via Sackville will still be on 6190 at 05-06 but no longer
at 03-05 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PERU. 18057.9, R. Victoria, March 22 at 1411, music and talk just barely
audible on 3 x 6019.3 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** RUSSIA. 9900, March 22 at 1321 nice Persian-like music on piano, then at
1323 adding singer. 1325 VOR sounders and talk in Persian about Iran, 1330 no
break or ID. Lite long/short path echo. Must have really been Dari, listed as
VOR in Pashto/Dari, 250 kW, 140 degrees from Samara (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** SOLOMON ISLANDS. I had thought SIBC 5020 was no longer leaving the carrier
on all night, but March 22 at 1245 I could detect one with BFO, and don`t know
what else it could be (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SPAIN. 15385, Monday March 22 at 1425, REE opening Emisi?n Sefarad with
schedule: Mon 1425 on 15385, Tue 0115 on 11795, Tue 0415 on 9650. We know that
15385 is correct, but 9650 is really 9690, and have been unable to confirm
11795. Wish others, especially in S America, would check for it there or on
11780 vs Brasil (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9955, WRMI in French to Haiti, March 22 at 1322, and not jammed.
Maybe the DCJC is catching on to the new schedule (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 13845, WWCR Joyce Riley obliterated by big mushy spur from 13835
WEWN, March 22 at 1334. At this time the fundamental of WEWN was much stronger
than WWCR, so it all depends on their relative levels. One wonders if WWCR is
really running full power, but even if it is, surely less than WEWN even at
reduced power for it (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 18530, WINB, March 22 at 1410, Brother Scare on 2 x 9265, registering
S6 vs the background noise level of S5 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 11715-, KJES, March 22 at 1427, S9+20 signal but just barely
modulated with hum, detectable singing and verse-reading. Could also tell it
was on before 1400 with much weaker signal; now timeshifted to 13-16 UT, when
it`s on, but pointless with such modulation (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A. 9385, March 22 at 1428, Brother Scare on WWRB, splattering with
sizzling sound as low as 9360 and as hi as 9405, especially bothering another
defective signal, WTJC 9370, tsk2 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [non]. 17680, CVC La Voz, March 22 at 1250 big signal but modulation
somewhat distorted, mentioning program is from Studio 4, and plugs for
something in Miami, so doubt this originates in Santiago de CHILE.
Manuel M?ndez, Spain, had heard the Sunday morning program 24 hours earlier,
``Primera Luz`` with local weather info, seeming to originate from Santiago but
maybe only pretending to do so. Contact info on the CVC website still leads
only to Miami (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** VENEZUELA [non]. Did not look for Al?, Presidente on Sunday March 14, tho
Wolfgang B?schel heard something on 17750, so I made sure to check on March 21,
at 1710: Yes, El Hugazo is back via CUBA, on 17750, 13750, 12010 and 11690;
something too weak to ID on the listed fifth frequency, 13680, which could be
RHC mainstream instead (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 21690, March 22 at 1422-1428* big steady open carrier
overpowering Libya 21695. Presumably TDF GUIANA FRENCH tuning up for much later
broadcast on 21690 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

Hey All, Its too bad to hear about radio sweden shutting down its shortwave
service. I understand that it costs a LOT to run. But I think that they are
making a big mistake in meny ways. Another of the hf stalwrts gone! I heard
them here in RS sometimes.(even got a nice email once from them!) Sounds like
the shortwave service as a whole is dying with several big names alrady of the
air or soon to be. Too bad. 73 and good dx,(whats left, that is) Robbie in

Hi everyone. I have accutally written and complained to RSI for their
desition and asked the question why. DRM is an option but I think
there is a moment 22. The radio industry doesn't produce any
combination receivers for DRM/AM/FM/DAB because there are too few
stations transmitting in ex. DRM. And the media networks won't
transmitt in DRM because there are to few receivers/listeners. DRM has
the future.
I wrote to the owner of the shortwave transmitters and meduimwave
transmitter, Teracom, and they have no plans to close down and scrape
the transmitters beacuse of RSI is leaving AM-broadcast.
I think there is a reliance on Internet as media. Internet can be a
complement to broadscast, never a "subsitute", never replace DX-
broadcast. Internet, telephone and cellphone networks aren't avalible
everywhere and can not be avalible everywhere.
So I don't understand RSI's desition,
