Brazil, 5940, Radio Guaruja Paulista, (pres),0935-1000,
Heard music buried in the noise at tune in.
Eventually at 0941 a male begins talking in Portuguese.
Briefly more music, then the announcer has a
conversation with a female on the telephone. Signal is
a poor quality, but that's better than usual, just like
a "shadow" with no substance. Couple that with the
noise, and it's a difficult situation to hear. At
0948, more music is presented. At 0952 conditions
begin to deteriorate and the signal drops
into the noise. This is probably my Unid from last
week, heard here. (Chuck Bolland, August 17, 2010)
Bolivia, 6155.36, Radio Fides, 1003-1045, It took some
tuning, but heard a female in Spanish language
presenting the news until 1006. This was followed
with canned promos or ADs? A second female
follows with more comments. The signal fades in and
out during the period. At one point (1030-34)
it seemed like the signal was off the air for a couple
of minutes. However, at 1034 the signal fade
in and was audible a few more minutes. (Chuck Bolland,

folks,
I am told that this Brazilian on 5940 is Voz
Missionaria instead of Guaruja Paulista.
I didn't hear an ID, so please choose which you wish to
use. I will try and get a
better ID in the future.

** ANTARCTICA. 15476+, Aug 17 at 1316, JBA with YL talking, het 15480, so LRA36
definitely on the air today, while I could not detect it Aug 16 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CANADA [and non]. 9625, Aug 17 at 1237, WYFR in Portuguese over CBCNQ, the
usual situation here, two stations on the same continent and the same coast, on
the same frequency! Audible hum or low heterodyne presumably caused by CBC
being considerably off-frequency. 1245 with WYFR off, I still hear an hum, but
lessened, and past 1300 as CBC is beating against something else, such as FEBC
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake August 17:
8400, fair at 1232
9380, fair at 1239; 1324 seems off but WWRB 9385 now Overcomes
10500, nothing at 1239, very poor at 1339. Gone at 1400, so I set a receiver on
10500 to hear if and when it would cut back on instead of 1405 as Ron Howard
has been noting: *1409:20 but now JBA
13680, fair at 1243 // 9380; no others up to 15000 at 1415
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [and non]. 13780, Aug 17 at 1413, RHC missing tho it was still among
the frequencies announced a few minutes earlier, while as usual on 13680 and
China relay on 13740. This allowed something in German to be heard poorly on
13780. If it`s in German, it can`t be from Germany, but likely from a DW relay,
in this case Woofferton UK at 14-18 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDIA. 9690, Aug 17, waiting for AIR GOS to come on: *1328 with anthem? But
unseems Vande Mataram, and talked over at 1329:30, couldn`t understand and
maybe not English. We don`t hear the haunting AIR IS at all; what`s up with
that? 1330 quick GOS sign-on with the three frequencies, right into news with
perpetual hum, really too poor to stay with. Later on, found // 13710 under CRI
via EAST TURKISTAN, much too close to India (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. 9525.9, VOI, if it`s Tuesday, this must be Banjarmasin, Aug 17
joining in progress 1301:30 after dead air, tho previous hour in Japanese was
OK. At first the two studios were having trouble hearing each other over the
line (try SW?). The Exotic Indonesia excursions are more talky than other days,
back and forth between Jak and Banj. 1320, talk about the r?le of youth in
Indonesian independence, an editorial (or did she say ``dignatorial``?).
Clueless announcers keep claiming to be on three frequencies, ``9525``, 11785
and 15150, the latter two inactive for many months, at least at this hour;
heard at 1323. At 1324, Today in History, about this being the 65th anniversary
of the Declaration of Independence on Aug 17, 1945, two days after Japan`s WWII
surrender (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MADAGASCAR. 11835, open carrier aside WYFR 11830, Aug 17 at 1335, rather
steady at S9+20, whence? Kept on it and finally at *1359 IS very briefly and
sign-on in English to Asia from Radio Netherlands Worldwide. Too much ACI from
WYFR, and if side-tuned upward, bleed from the DentroCuban Jamming Command on
11845. If the RNW frequency were isolated, it would be usable. This is 250 kW,
50 degrees from Talata. But why burn 250 kW an extra 25 minutes?
Uplooked later, I see that Romania in Russian is supposed to be on 11835 until
1400, but not a trace of that heard, tho other 25m frequencies from them often
make it way offbeam to here (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SPAIN [non]. 15170, REE via COSTA RICA, Aug 17 at 1300, compared the
timesignal to WWV and it was one sesquisecond late. I realize it would be
inconvenient to make it accurate, with one or more satellite-hop delays and
other factors, but if you are going to broadcast timesignals like this at all,
you should always air a disclaimer before or after (translated), like ``This
timesignal is only an approximation, despite its seeming precision, not to be
used for navigation, or critical scientific measurements``. Not holding breath
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 15579, het against VOA S?o Tom? Music Mix, Aug 17 at 1405. Just
as I was measuring it, disappeared at 1407*. Likely ChiCom jamming and/or V. of
Tibet via Tajikistan as Aoki Aug 15 shows *15577 and *15578 for that at
1307-1407! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###
