Bolivia, 6019.301, Radio Victoria, 1025-1035, Hearing
the preacher again this morning, David Miranda.
It's so easy to pull his babble out of the noise when
he's on the air. Anyway, the signal of Victoria is
fair this morning which is a rarity at my location. As
I get ready to tune away, the signal improves
to a good level for a moment or two. (Chuck Bolland,
Janaury 8, 2011)
Bolivia, 6134.80, Radio Santa Cruz, 1034-1045, Noted
a male in Spanish live comments before
a presentation by a female is presented. Signal was
good this morning. (Chuck Bolland,
January 8, 2011)
Peru, 4774.96, Radio Tarma, 1038-1050, Only
occasionally does the audio fade in as a male
comments in Spanish language followed by music. Signal
remained threshold during the
period. (Chuck Bolland, Janaury 8, 2011)
Unident, 3201.681, 1053-1100 Heard a male in Spanish
language comments at tune in.
This was followed with music, a female singing. After
the music(1058) a female comments
in Spanish. Music continues after the hour. Signal
is too weak to catch any specific
details. Checked back at 1120 and the signal was still
broadasting but weak.
(Chuck Bolland, January 8, 2011)
Peru, 3329.643, Ondas Del Huallaga, 1105-1115, Noted a
male in Spanish comments until 1113
when music is presented. The music sounded religious
in tone. Ofcourse, CHU is almost
on top of this station. Consequently, that makes copy
difficult. Ondas Del Huallaga was
threshold. (Chuck Bolland, January 8, 2011)
Indonesia, 4750.01, RRI Makassar, 1123-1135, At tune
in, noted music being presented.
Don't expect much from this station this morning. The
audio is barely heard. As mentioned
when Indonesian comments begin at 1130 from a female,
she is barely audiable. Back to
music after she ID's. Signal remained threshold.
(Chuck Bolland, January 8, 2011)
Unident, 4800, 1135-1145, Noted a male and female in
Unidentified comments. Tried
different receivers and still no success. Comments
continued with just a few seconds
of bridge music here and there. This could be Radio
Buenas Nuevas which broadcasts
a couple of venacular languages during this time
period? (Chuck Bolland, January 8, 2011)
Indonesia, 9524.96, Voice of Indonesia, 1152-1200 Noted
pop music at tune in. After
one tune, a female comments in probably Chinese
(listed), then back to music.
Signal was clear and at a good level. (Chuck Bolland,

** ARGENTINA. 11710+, Jan 8 at 0627 surprised to hear a poor signal in Spanish;
0629 electronic music melody repeated, an IS? Suppose not. 0630 automatic 3-pip
timesignal about 2 seconds late as music continues. Would be the OSOB were it
not for stronger NZ on 11725. 0635 signal improving a bit, Radio Nacional
mentioned in passing, as well as Argentina; 0636 ``Noche Nacional`` apparent
program title, and plugs its blogspot. Deep fading, not flutter. Meanwhile I
refined the frequency: yes, 11710.8, so no doubt it is LRA, but never before
heard at this late hour. Perhaps General Pacheco is celebrating the decision to
fund a new SW transmitter for this and RAE, with an all-night party (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. After getting ARGENTINA [q.v.] at 0627-0636 Jan 8, I searched 25m
for more signals, and at 0638 found weak 11815.0 with lively music, no doubt R.
Brasil Central, a normal all-nighter. 11780 RNA was not yet on but should be
within a semihour (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 6010, RHC in English Jan 8 at 0615 check; had been mistakenly in
Spanish on this frequency 24 hours earlier.
Prof. Arnaldo de Jes?s Coro Antich continues to get DX-program-type segments
into ``Revistas Informativas`` rather than in a dedicated DX program, such as
``En Contacto``, where he is never heard on Sundays. Sat Jan 8 at 1353 on 11760
and all the other frequencies, a SW primer about using batteries instead of AC
to reduce noise, hook on a few meters of wire to improve whip antenna
reception, and about propagation, ``c?mo mejorar la recepci?n de onda corta``
until 1358 IS and ID:
Now`s my chance to confirm whether Antonio G?mez is still announcing a
frequency RHC used for only a few days in November before replacing it with
15230: yes, two months out of date, he is, ``15390``, where of course they
should have stayed, as it is clear while at this hour 15230 collides with the
ChiCom via their Canadian comrades.
Full announcement says, in typical Soviet-style disorder: 15120, 15360, 15390
[sic]; from *13 on 13680, 13780; from *11 on 12040, 11760; from *13 on 11730;
from *14 to 20* on 11690; 6140 until 05* (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GUAM. 5765-USB, AFN, Jan 8 at 1325 with country music instead of NPR
``Weekend Edition Saturday`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 17580, new frequency for Brother Scare, very poor Jan
8 at 1443. Not synch with WWCR 9980 but discussing same subjects; I waste a few
minutes trying to tell which is ahead of the other and by how much, but 17580
is too weak to catch keywords.
This is not in latest HFCC, nor EiBi, nor Aoki, but surely the latest change in
Germany, perhaps starting today. It is, however, on the Overcomer`s own but
always undated SW schedule ftp page, as to Europe, daily at 9-10 am from
somewhere (nowhere?) = 14-15 UT. It also says 9460 daily at 9-11 am = 14-16 UT
is from ``UK``, while this is already listed in HFCC et al. as Wertachtal. The
only other unattributed one is 13810 also daily at 9-10 am, which is Nauen per
HFCC.
And TOM still doesn`t show the WWRB and WWCR frequencies in sequence, nor with
accurate times, zone not specified either but surely EST = UT -5:
Claims WWRB 3145 is ``all night`` while really it`s only 9 pm-midnight per
WWRB`s own schedule, = 0200-0500 UT, I think. TOM says 3215 is 6-10 pm =
2300-0300 UT, a one-hour overlap disparity.
TOM also has the hours on WWCR wrong, ``8 am-10 pm`` on 9980 = 13-03 UT, and
``10 pm-8 am`` on 5890 = 03-13 UT, while it`s currently 12-02 on 9980, 02-12 on
9980 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9405, WINB, Jan 8 at 0622, YL preacher, fair signal at S9+15, less
than BBC on 9410 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 12160, WWCR, Sat Jan 8 at 1712 check again this week has something
other than WORLD OF RADIO, despite WOR still appearing on the current pdf
schedule dated 1 Jan. Could WOR have been shifted back to its previous time
1730? No. That leaves only two times for WOR on WWCR confirmed by monitoring:
Fri 2130 on 7465, Sun 0730 on 3215 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

Hi,
I'm getting a carrier, with some very tentative music audio buried in the
noise, on 4975.96 (8 Jan 2011, 2040 UTC). The band is very noisy for me today,
so others should check, too, maybe Uganda is back on 60m from extended use of
the daytime frequency recently. I can't detect a carrier on 7195, at least.

Well, the 4976 is their evening fq and they
usually are there. 7195 evening use has been
random, every now and then it seems they for
some reason haven't switched to 60 mb.
I didn't check 4976 today, but I think they've
been there rather regularly this week.

Message-ID: <[email protected]>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"
The weekend broadcast in Greek from Cyprus is on the air today (8 Jan 2011),
strong signal as usual. The programme is a radioplay, no news etc. Sign-on on
9760 was at 22:14:40. Short IS with ID "I kipros kondasas", then right into
radioplay. 9760: 54544. 6180: 44333 with frequent outages in the beginning.
7210: 52542 with CCI by CRI in Spanish; missing when the other freqs signed on,
active at re-check ten minutes later.
Not parallel to any of their live streams on http://www.cybc.com.cy .
Sign-off at 22:44:35 (9760) / 22:45:32 (7210), in the middle of the ongoing
radioplay. Strange; if they set up this special transmission thrice a week,
they might want to put a programme on it that actually fits into the broadcast
slot.
