Argentina, 6060, Radio Argentina, 0956-1005, Noted an
Interval Signal here at 0956 repeating over and over
the same 8 notes. On the hour, 5 time ticks followed
by music. After some Spanish comments, a female
talks in Japanese at 1007. Signal was poor and fading
in and out. (Chuck Bolland, April 28, 2010)

** ANTARCTICA. 15476, LRA36 on Wednesday April 28: at 1256 music just barely
audible past 1308. Peaking better at 1310 when YL with Argentine accent starts
talk segment until 1329, but only a rare word understandable, such as at 1315
``presencia en la bah?a``. ACI from UK 15480 is now a problem, but hi-latitude
paths in general on 19m are attenuated, and at 1255 nothing but Chile was
making it on 16m, 17680. 1329, the 15476 signal is a bit stronger as OM singing
starts. By 1424 has declined to a carrier only (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake April 28: at 1335, 14900 poor with flutter, while CNR1
jamming on 15285 and 15265 were equally poor. At 1338, FD good on 13320 and
12970, fair on 10300, at 1343 poor on 8400. Unfound anywhere else 8-18 MHz
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GUYANA. Jaime Labadia was going to visit and activate around April 22 the
new 10 kW SW transmitter he built for GBC, and there have now been several
reports of something on 3290, partly in English including BBC relays, surely
this but definite IDs seem hard to catch. For me so far, the signal alone has
been hard to catch; checked April 28 around 0600 could detect no carrier on
3290, just the usual 3287.3 open carrier occasionally sending RTTY (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KUWAIT. 15540, R. Kuwait again in English contrary to its own announcements,
April 27 at 2058 at sign-off still claiming to be on 11990 at 18-21, and on
15110 at 05-08. Possibly the latter is really on 15515, scheduled in Arabic,
but so is 15540. Please check. 2059 NA, 2100 accurate timesignal, news theme
and headlines in Arabic but cut off the air today earlier than usual after only
one minute at 2101* (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** RUSSIA. I had noticed in HFCC A-10 that R. Rossii at 1700-1300 from
Petropavlovsk/Kamchatskiy is listed on 5930 instead of 5920 where we had
continued to hear this awful motor-boating transmitter interfering with itself,
but following tip from Ron Howard, now it has really moved to 5930, April 28
audible as early as 0605, and now unpleasantly close to WWCR 5935. Next check
at 1247, 5930 somewhat better with singing and Russian talk // 5940 Magadan
which is weaker but motorboat-free.
So Pet/Kam can accomplish frequency changes from 6075 to 5920 to 5930 but not
clean up the modulation once and for all. Per
http://www.gaisma.com/en/location/petropavlovsk-kamchatskiy.html sunset at
Pet/Kam was 0847 UT but the sun is still relatively low in the sky at that
latitude of 53 North, equivalent to Goose Bay or Edmonton (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** TURKEY. Checking VOT`s UT Wednesday April 28 0300 broadcast on webcast, but
could have heard on 5975, to confirm that it is still carrying the ``Tuesday``
program lineup: yes, at 0312 starts ``Through History``, a lexure about
genocide thru the ages starting with the fate of the ``Red Indians`` in the New
World, to the My Lai massacre, lingering effects of Agent Orange, justly blamed
on the US. (Well, geez, if North Vietnam had just renounced Communism, none of
that would have happened.) Hmmm, are they leading up to painting Turkey as just
another genocider, against the Armenians? Tune in next week. Following at 0319
was ``Heading Toward(s) Turkey`` on Van (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** VATICAN [and non]. Just got VR`s printed schedule folder for A-10. It no
longer comes with an elaborate postage meter imprint, just a postage-paid
rectangle printed on the envelope. Glad I have saved previous ones for
collexion.
VR finally acknowledges they are using several SW relay sites, even naming them
including those in Islamic-dominated countries, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan. By
color coding they attempt to show which sites go with which frequencies and
times --- except there is a brown triangle coming out of Tinian with no
frequency to match.
Searching HFCC, we find one transmission of Vatican via Tinian: 2200-2245 on
12035 in ``Zho`` which I assume means Mandarin Chinese as it is also in the
Vatican folder as Chinese, just with no brown color-coding indicating Tinian.
This 12035 transmission is not to be confused with the next one on same
frequency, which I happened to recently report, 2310-2400 in Vietnamese, which
is direct from Santa Maria di Galeria. I suppose SMG could back up the Tinian
transmission if it is not funxioning for some reason; and apparently was not
firm at printing deadline, or overlooked.
Assuming it is running as scheduled, thus the ``faith-based`` IBB once again
violates Separation of Church and State, by availablizing USG facilities to one
particular religion. Again? Yes, R. Mart? broadcasts Catholic services, and R.
Liberty was caught broadcasting RussOrthodox services in Soviet days, and may
well still. Who knows what may go on unrecognized in other languages?
In case you think this is inconsequential, it opens IBB to demands for airtime
from every other religion! How can the USG justify propagating (literally) one
of them, and not any or all of them? This is the age-old reason for maintaining
total separation of church and state in all circumstances, to assure impartial
freedom of and from religion.
This probably results from a relay-exchange deal, but it is lopsided. IBB now
has these transmissions via SMG, raising the question whether the USA is so
strapped for relay sites that it has to make a deal with the RCC? Just who
initiated this? There may be more such odd bedfellows as IBB is bent on closing
down Greenville, and who knows what others of its own assets.
Sawa, i.e. Hello, Darfur, for Sudan via Vatican:
0300-0330 5945
1800-1830 9465
1900-1930 9800
Perhaps The Church has a particular interest in expediting such a service, and
nothing else from IBB? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 11888-SSB, intruders, 2-way in tonal Asian language,
intermittently, April 28 at 1345 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 15105, April 28 at 1427, guitar music fill loop from VTC past
1430, poor with fadeouts, still going at 1437, 1443. Nothing scheduled at this
time, but BBC Hausa via Ascension is at 1345-1415, so perhaps overrun from
that. Also again had weak het from carrier near 15106, and Noel Green has
already ruled out Pakistan (Glenn Hauser, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 15385, once again unknown station testing, April 28 at 1425 open
carrier at first, fluttery to S9+15 at peaks, 1435 brief tone test, back to
open carrier. Signal does not resemble anything else on 19m, but clearly
extracontinental. Could be from ME or Asia (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST) ###
