Peru, 6019.25, Radio Victoria, 0910-0920, Noted steady
music at tune in. At 0914
Spanish Language Religious comments from a male who is
probably David Miranda,
identified by his style. Signal best heard in LSB due
to a Het caused by a station
on 6020 KHz. (Chuck Bolland, June 6, 2010)
China, 9380, Firedrake, 0920-0930, Steady Chinese
style music. It doesn't seem
like the signal has reached it's peak for this morning
yet. Consequently, it's only
at a poor level so far. (Chuck Bolland, June 6, 2010)
Indonesia, 9680, RRI Jakarta, 0928-0940, Noted popular
music at tune in. AT
0932 a female comments briefly in the Indonesian
language, then back to music.
Signal was good. (Chuck Bolland, June 6, 2010)
Solomon Islands, 5020, SIBC, 0957-1005, At tune in,
noted a person in comments.
Signal was muffled and not very strong, making copy
difficult. (Chuck Bolland,

** CHINA. Firedrake June 6:
8400-12499, nothing found 1255-1300
12500, VG at 1258 but off at 1300*; back on at *1305
14600, poor at 1307 // 14700; still same at 1352
14700, VG at 1259, NOT // 12500, and 14700 goes to OC at 1300, 1305 resumes;
still same at 1352
17920, poor at 1309, // 14700. Shows it pays to keep bandscanning upward for
them to show up unexpectedly, and I kept going to 19000
17515, fair June 6 at 1304, CNR1 // 15285; no co-channel audible on 17515, but
must be there to jam BBC Uzbek via Cyprus at 1300-1330 only. Thus China asserts
pseudo-sovereignty over Uzbekistan, take that! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** CUBA. Have not been hearing the 37v/multiple plus/minus kHz spur galaxy from
RHC`s 15360 transmitter in the mornings or 15370 in the afternoons for the last
few days. Not sure if they are eliminated or merely that poor propagation has
not been inbringing enough signals to audiblize them, and 19m currently suffers
from some neighbor`s TVI much of the time. But June 6 at 1301 I am almost
convinced that the spurs are absent as 15360 is fairly strong.
13880, RHC Spanish leapfrog of 13680 over 13780, June 6 at 1308 attained S9+12
on the FRG-7 meter, while the fundamentals looked like huge S9+25, tho hard to
be precise at top end of its scale (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See
also VENEZUELA [non]
** NETHERLANDS ANTILLES. 6250, NHKWNRJ in Spanish with mailbag, UT Sunday June
6 at 0526; R5 = fully readable on fair signal, but cut off abruptly at 0527*.
That`s because this is the leapfrog mixing product of Bonaire NHK relay on 6080
over RNW Dutch on 6165, and that fulcrum is finished at 0527 while 6080 is not.
No sign of Equatorial Guinea on 6250 before or after 0527. It usually does not
cut on until after 0530, often not at all. A recent report from Europe claimed
EqG before 0530, but I think this spur is capable of being heard there too and
urge everyone everywhere to listen to 6250 long enough to tell whether it`s
Radio Jap?n in the 0500-0527 period. A quick comparison with 6080 should answer
the question.
9715, RNW Spanish via Bonaire, Sunday June 6 at 1213 amid Cartas a RN mailbag
show, still not hosted by our erstwhile ex-colleague Jaime B?guena, who I hear
is on medical leave; we wish him the best. Interviewing a Brazilian, Leonidas
from Evangelista, MG, attempting to speak Spanish but with a heavy Portuguese
admixture, who anyhow has been an RN listener for a bidecade. I think it would
be better just to speak pure Portuguese on his side and let the listeners
figure it out or learn a bit of it (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** RUSSIA. 5930, R. Rossii, Pet/Kam, June 6 at 1200 time-signal, only heard one
(last?) pip about 5 sex late, cutting thru the motorboating, Russian talk
presumably news. On Sundays no QRM from Costa Rica; but RR provides its own QRM
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. As I was checking for Ch?vez, June 6 at 1608, punched up 15550 and
some talking was JBA on USB, no doubt WJHR in its futile unlicensed
transmission. Why bother? So the unipreacher can claim he has a worldwide
audience and prompt donations? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [non]. 9510, VOA Tinang II // much better 9760 Tinang I, PHILIPPINES,
Sunday June 6 at 1220 in ``Our World`` science-technology show with Environment
Report segment re cybersickness [redlined by MSW spellcheck, but then so is
spellcheck; hyphenating almost solves these problems, but cyber still not
accepted by itself!], then other items, 1230 into Issues in the News, panel
discussion starting with Gaza blockade (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [non]. 11605 with audible lo het, June 6 at 1357. Not Firedrake, and
can`t match any of the audio to CNR1 for sure. 1400 clash ends and R. Free Asia
introduces Vietnamese weak but clear. Until 1400, RFA is in Tibetan via Tinian,
per Aoki and of course it must be jammed with something. RFA changes site at
1400 to Taiwan for Vietnamese (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** VATICAN [non]. 9830, R. Vaticana, June 6 at 1209, Sackville relay vs
ever-present RTTY at about equal level, demonstrating how out-of-touch some
SWBC frequency managers are with the real world; and surprised to hear not
English as scheduled from 1200, but Spanish! Some churchman with a heavy
Italian accent interviewed about Paul by a native SS; 1211 ``nos despedimos
hasta ma?ana`` and into IS. Spanish is supposed to be at 1130-1200 only, so
what became of English? A hitherto unknown Sunday variation? BTW, official name
of station in Spanish is Radio Vaticano, but Italian version Vaticana overrode
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** VENEZUELA [non]. ``Al?, Presidente`` check Sunday June 6 at 1608: Nothing on
17750, 13750, 13680, 12010, and RHC itself on weakly vs RTTY on 11690 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

** CUBA. The secret third airing of RHC`s Spanish DX program ``En Contacto``
recurred at exactly the same time this Sunday as last Sunday: June 6 at
2144-2157:30, best here on 15370, also audible and synchronized up to a reverb
apart on 11730, 9660, 6110, and just barely audible this early 5040; an echo
apart on 15380, 12030, 9660 from the other transmitter site.
Unihosted by Manolo de la Rosa last week and this; we miss his wife Malena
Negr?n and wonder where she is. After usual birthday greetings to a couple
listeners, continued reminiscences of the foundation of RHC almost 50 years
ago. At the end Manolo mentioned that the RHC anniversary series airs martes
[wanting to say local Mondays?] a las 0140, s?bados 2240 TU; apparently E.C. is
carrying excerpts from that. After a brief bit of one of the countless
renditions of ``Guantanamera``, next show was about Jos? Mart?. No spurs
audible from 15370 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** FRANCE [non]. Having missed carrier-on the last two days for the 2100-2130
RFI Spanish on 17630 via GUIANA FRENCH, I tuned in very early June 6 before
2050, but this time it did not cut on until *2058:50, musical modulation from
2059, sounded like hilife but could not determine lyrix language; possibly
Portuguese as before, but no announcement. 2100 4-pip timesignal 6 seconds
late, opening RFI Spanish at 11 de la noche en Par?s, noticias, good signal but
with some hum (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NIGERIA. 7255, fair signal and OSOB (meaning 7200-7300 41m) at 2152 June 6,
in African language; 2254 still in an African language, but a few other signals
starting to show, making it the SSOB. Per Aoki, at 21-22 V of Nigeria is in
Fulfulde, 22-23 Hausa, from the old Ikorodu site. No one seems to know for sure
to what extent the new site at Abuja is in use by now, but we never see more
than one frequency reported at any one time. Will Ikorodu be closed down
completely or has it already been? BTW, VON is not in HFCC, another thing they
need to get in order to reduce the risk of collisions (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** SPAIN. REE, June 6 during the 20 UT hour, VG on 15110 direct, 17850 via
Costa Rica, with the new transmitter, no longer relatively muffled, was playing
some great Indian classical music with tabla, etc. In the 21 UT hour on same,
also audible on weaker CR relays 11815 and 9765, some dramatic readings
accompanied by Ligeti, and other mysterious music.
The A-10 program grid we have courtesy
http://programasdx.com/principal_archivos/parrillaree10.pdf
merely shows ``Tablero Deportivo`` for these hours on Sundays, so I suppose
these shows were merely filling in for absent or early-ending silly ballgames.
Did not catch any announcements, so don`t know the titles, but ``Mundofon?as``
and ``Pangea`` scheduled nearby sound like good candidates (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SYRIA. 12085, R. Damascus, June 6 at 2119 during English hour with whine,
still talking about Gaza, somewhat better reception than yesterday, but still
requires too much strain to follow; besides, I know it`s going to be an
anti-Israel diatribe. 2125 music; 2127 ``News and Views`` switched to YL
announcer, also about the flotilla; 2141 weakening.
But still there at next check 2159 in English; just before 2202, switched to
Spanish ID but immediately went off the air. After apparent beam reversal from
98 to 278 degrees, per Aoki, back on two minutes later at 2104 with open
carrier, somewhat weaker, and made out no Spanish talk until 2210.
98? Yes, their only SW broadcast in English is for Australia (does it inboom in
the mornings there?), while the earlier one 340 degrees for Europe, also USward
at 20-21 has long been suspended, replaced by a one-hour break. So we`re lucky
to hear it at all in North America (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###
