Bolivia, 6134.85, Radio Santa Cruz, 0935-0945, Noted
a male in Spanish comments between
musical selections. Before each tune, he gives a TC.
Signal was good. (Chuck Bolland, August
9, 2010)
Peru, 4826.26, Radio Sicuani, 0955-1015, Noted a male
in comments followed with Huaynos
type music. On the hour noted a lot of chatter from
the male. Signal was poor, but by 1015
the signal was improved to a fair level. Still hearing
SP comments. . (Chuck Bolland, August 9, 2010)
Peru, 3329.60, Radio Ondas Del Huallaga, 1002-1008,
Noted a carrier under CHU's signal here. With some
tuning, heard a very threshold signal of music
possibly? (Chuck Bolland, August 9, 2010)
Peru, 4746.93, Radio Huanta Dos Mil, 1007-1015 At
tune in, noted a male and female in SP comments. At
1010 Huaynos music presented. Signal was fair.
(Chuck Bolland, August 9, 2010)
Peru, 4774.95, Radio Tarma, 1010-1015, Noted steady
Hauynos music at tune in. Actual signal
is only threshold at this time. (Chuck Bolland,
August 9, 2010)
Peru, 4974.73, Radio Del Pacifico, 1018-1030, There
seemed to be an audio portion to this with music, but
the noise and late time made it very difficult to hear.
(Chuck Bolland, August 9, 2010)
Peru, 5486.63, La Reina De La Selva, 1025, Noted a
suspicious carrier here, but no audio heard.
Still possibly that one? (Chuck Bolland, August 9,
2010)
Peru, 5921.30, Radio Bethel,(pres) 1032-1045, At tune
in, noted religious type music presented.
The music continues without any comments. Stayed with
this until the hour, but never heard
any comments. Signal was fair to begin with, but fade
into the noise by the hour. . (Chuck Bolland, August
9, 2010)
Unident, 5940, 1100-1115 Noted a program of news for
ten minutes where two males share
the microphone reporting the news. At 1110 news
finishes, but comments continue. Signal
is very poor and I can't distinguish the language, but
it could be Spanish? If it is, I am thinking
this might be Radio Melodia which was near this freq
last year or so and their format was news
and comments. At 1115 I decided to drop this since it
had become practically nil. (Chuck Bolland

** ALBANIA. 13755, R. Tirana, Monday Aug 9 at 1427 IS, but insufficient,
suffering splatter from CRI/Cuba 13740, and overload from RHC 13780.
Nevertheless, it was the best if not only signal reaching us from Europe on the
22m band. 1430 sign-on announcement was giving the correct A-10 schedule, but
mostly uncopiable.
BTW, this frequency is missing from the EiBi list; still shown on 13625, the
B-09 channel for 1530; a quick check indicates the other RT entries are
current. Looks like RT would be better off in A-seasons even further from Cuba,
really in the low 13600`s (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ANTARCTICA. 15476, LRA36: first check this week, Aug 9 at 1335 found no
signal, but next check at 1359 brought weak carrier and music, no het from
15480. Next2 check at 1424, still JBA pop music on 15476 and now het with 15480
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA [and non]. 15430, Aug 9 at 1335, weak signal in Chinese, accompanied
by a weaker carrier on 15433, and an even weaker one on 15435. V. of Tibet is
scheduled via UAE on 15430 at 1330-1400 in Tibetan, but frequency can vary to
avoid jamming. Probably what I had on 15430 was CNR1 jamming, and one of the
others possibly VOT or more jamming; nothing scheduled on 15435.
Meanwhile, no Firedrakes at all found this morning, altho I did not get to
17515 before 1330 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. Altho En Contacto, RHC`s Spanish DX program was replaced by the stamp
program Sunday Aug 8 before 1350 as in previous report, EC appeared as usual
for a later repeat, checked at 0137 UT Monday Aug 9 on 11760, during the
opening happy-birthday segment (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. 9525.9, VOI English, VG signal Monday Aug 9 around 1335 with
Indonesian lesson, but we really need some visual aid. Still on the air at 1417
in Indonesian hour atop CRI Russian het on 9525.0 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** KOREA NORTH [and non]. 13760, VOK in English, Aug 9 at 1329, weak signal but
with fast SAH indicating another station on frequency, but none are scheduled.
Possibly Turkey was still stuck there after German should have ended at 1223v
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** LIBYA. I never had any luck hearing VOA`s English at 14-16 on its new
frequencies 15235 and 15240, and now they are gone since Aug 6: nothing audible
at 1405 Aug 9 (tho Wolfgang B?schel found they were sometimes very late coming
up). On Aug 7, Joe Hanlon in NJ heard English back on 17725 and 21695, the
previous pair. Today I can barely detect a carrier on 17725 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 1580, KOKB Blackwell, was already modulating sportstalk, Monday
Aug 9 at 1303 UT check, after a weekend of open carrier. I remain amazed at the
slipshod way this station is being run (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. 17740, Aug 9 at 1402 tune-by, very weak signal audiblized
briefly ``international --- mission`` in American accent, sounds like VOA news.
Yes, during this hour only, VOA Botswana at 10 degrees.
Quickly checked 17585 Greenville, and instead of news on the hour, it was
already in music! But at 1407, 17585 had interview with Islamabad correspondent
about the flooding, and then from China about the mudslides. Must be Crossroads
Asia, and confirmed as such by // 9760 Philippines, an echo apart.
Normally, the 1400-1430 segment from Greenville on weekdays carries Music Mix
after the news, so Africans cannot be exposed to news about --- ugh --- Asia.
Then at 1423, 17585 has switched back to Music Mix with rap, not // 9760, but
// 15580 S?o Tom?. I guess there was a program feed mixup into GB (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGST)
** U S A. 5755, WTWW at 0215 Aug 9 with PPPP, so apparently the
frequency-change problem has been fixed (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

QTH: Kabul, Afghanistan

ANT: 200m Longwire/Randomwire
ACC: Palstar MW-550P Mediumwave Preselector
4750, 09 AUG, 1256 UTC, BANGLADESH, Bangladesh Betar, In Bengali wih flute
music until time pips and ID by man on the hour, then into news and call-in
show. Fair reception and improving as dusk approached.
5965, 09 AUG, 1746 UTC, MALAYSIA, RTM Klasik Nasional, in Malayalam with
Malay oldies, IDs and news on the hour. 100kW with very good signal, but
smashed by PBS Xijian on 5960.
6518, 09 AUG, 1708 UTC, CLAN (KOREA), Voice of the People, in Korean with
man and woman in bland talk. // 6600 Both channels have some sort of
roaring jammer on them. Both sides appear to be ratcheting up the rhetoric.
Good sigs and over jammer.
6739 USB, 09 AUG, 1700 UTC, UNID military station. Woman in English reading
phonetic alphabet with numbers and occasionally saying "stand by." Definite
US accent, and this is a known US military frequency. No IDs whatsoever.
6979, 09 AUG, 1630 UTC, UNID, Woman with mellow announcing over
subcontinental chanting/singing. Not sure of language. Didn't sound like
Arabic or Farsi, but heard "Iran" mentioned several times. Not // to any
Iranian MW outlet, and the transmitter kept faulting off. Station would
come back at lower power, and gradually increase its power until it faulted
off again. Checked all possible harmonics that were close in frequency such
as 1161 and 1395, but nothing there that matched. Put two 15dB attenuators
in line to make sure it was not a mixing product in my gear, but it was
still there and appropriately reduced. At 1643, two distinct separate
programs could be heard on the same audio, so possibly some sort of mixing
product at the transmitter(s) or an audio issue. Not // to the BBG local
powerhouse on 1296 either, so not a spur from there apparently. 1395 kHz
does have an Indian 20kW station on it in Bikaner. Did anyone else come
across this? Poor to good signals depending on what stage of power the
transmitter was at before faulting off.
8417.5, 09 AUG, 1532 UTC, CHINA, XSV Tianjin Radio, CW ID and SITOR bursts.
Weak but clear.
8888 USB, 09 AUG, 1513 UTC, RUSSIA, Novosibir VOLMET, Woman in Russian with
IDs and weather data for flights. Fairly strong signal at this time.

Angola, 4949.80, Radio Nacional, 0145--0205, Noted a
very weak signal with music. At 0157
a male comments in Portuguese over music. On the hour,
time ticks and a few more comments
or news. Signal was threshold the entire time.
