Indonesia, 4749.978, RRI Makassar, Tentative,
1030-1045, Noted a male in Islamic
type reciting until 1034 when a female talks in
Indonesian language. After
she comments, a brief interlude of music is heard, then
more comments.
At 1036 a male converses with the female. Signal was
poor and muffled.
As I decided to tune away, I notice a second signal on
4750.030 starting
to fade in, but it's still too weak to copy anything.
(Chuck Bolland, February 4, 2011)
Micronesia, 4755.452, Cross Radio,Tentative, 1044-1055,
Noted a weak signal here
with possibly religious singing? Signal still needs
time to reach it's peak
fade in time. At 1046, believe a female commented
briefly. Rechecked this at 1145,
and the signal had improved to a poor level while music
was heard. (Chuck
Bolland, February 4, 2011)
Peru, 4774.959, Radio Tarma, 1048-1100, Brief Spanish
language comments
at tune in which was followed with Huaynos music.
Signal remained at a
fair level during this period. (Chuck Bolland,
February 4, 2011)
Brazil, 4865.041, Radio Verdes Florestas, 1103-1115,
Principly noted a male
in Portuguese language comments until about 1108 when a
female comments
in Portuguese. At 1113 the male returns with comments.
This is the only
signal on or near this frequency at the present time.
I suppose the other
Brazilian stations and Radio Logos are all "Sleepy
Heads". (Chuck
Bolland, February 4, 2011)
Peru, 4955.006, Radio Cultura Amauta, 1117-1130 Yes
with the best signal on
the band, noted a male and female in what sounded like
serious Spanish comments.
Heard the male mention "Amauta" here and there during
his comments. This sounds
like a news program with reports being presented by
other anouncers. After listening
for awhile, "Amauta and Peru" are mentioned rather
often. And as mentioned above,
the signal is good. (Chuck Bolland, February 4, 2011)
Peru, 4986.385, Radio Manantial, Tent, 1125-1150,
Noted a fair signal at tune in with a
female in Spanish Language comments. From her tone,
she sounded as if she were
giving a religious discourse, which continued during
the period. Tried to find some
backup information on this. Ran a search for DXLD, but
Google rejected me. I'm
use to it. Checked out AOKI's database and Manantial
was listed on 4991 KHz.
Next I looked at EIBI and Manantial was listed on 4986
KHz. Signal was fair
to threshold during the period. (Chuck Bolland,
February 4, 2011)
Papua New Guinea, 3325.008, Radio Buka,Tent,
1150-1200, Noted a thresholds signal here
which is better than usual. Most of the time just a
carrier is heard on this freq at my
location. With that in mind, noted a male and female
talking together. Couldn't
identify the language 100 percent, but my best guess is
Pidgin. At 1200 some bridge
music and more comments by a female. And as mentioned,
the signal is threshold.
(Chuck Bolland, February 4, 2011)

26N 081W
Note: If I were to put a value on the work I've done
this morning, I would say I earned
at least $500.00 and that's for only an hour or so.
Relax, I am just joking around.
Conditions were good this morning compared to the usual
conditions I notice here
in my area and I was able to turn on the receiver a
little earlier than I normally do.
So in the list of loggings above, there are three(3)
stations that I haven't reported
before. Things are looking up.

** AUSTRALIA. 6080, Feb 4 at 1352, RA still with special relay of ABC Local
Radio Queensland service, no longer an anchorette but an anchor, taking a call
from Matt in Mackay while main RA on 6020 was back to `Football Weekly`. Mark
Fahey in NSW says SW radios are extremely scarce in Australia and wonders how
many Queenslanders are axually listening to this service? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. For the past few nights, RHC has been partially or totally missing
after 0700 UT, leading us to suspect that they have done away with all-night
broadcasts. See previous reports. Feb 4 at 0704 UT, all RHC Spanish frequencies
are gone from 6 MHz, as well as 5040. I had noted that 6150 only was on a bit
past 0700.
Some schedule changes have definitely been made with frequencies formerly
closing at 1500 still on at 1535 Feb 4: 13780, 13680, // 15360, 11760, 11730.
New schedule posted on RHC website is in the usual confusing format,
http://www.radiohc.cu/espanol/c_frecuencia/frecuencias.htm
so I have redone it in time order for the mainstream Spanish broadcasts,
showing no longer on the air at all between 06 and 12 UT or 16 and 22, ending
the 24-hour service which began a sesquiyear ago with the Honduran coup, the
programming content of which was never published, but repeating earlier blox.
Being completely off the air mid-day (well, until 1900 when Venezuela and
foreign languages begin), also may be necessary for installing alleged new
transmitters, antennas?
Here is the Spanish schedule, unscrambled by time block:
12-13 6000 6095 6150
12-16 15230 15360 12040 11760 6140 11690
13-16 13780 13680 11730
22-24 5040 11770 9820
22-05 6140
22-06 12040 12010
00-05 11760 9770
00-06 15230 6120
02-06 5040
And here by time block with frequencies in order, combined between changeover
times:
12-13 6000 6095 6140 6150 11690 11760 12040 15230 15360
13-16 6140 11690 11730 11760 12040 13680 13780 15230 15360
22-24 5040 6140 9820 11770 12010 12040
00-02 6120 6140 9770 11760 12010 12040 15230
02-05 5040 6120 6140 9770 11760 12010 12040 15230
05-06 5040 6120 12010 12040 15230
The separate `Mesa Redonda` program remains: 23-01 on 6000, 9640. Axually times
vary somewhat and not necessarily on the air every day. Morning broadcasts
include plugs for it with topic and start time.
Al?, Presidente schedule has not been changed:
Sundays 1400- on 11690, 13680, 13750, 15370, 17750
This inevitably means that on Sundays only some of the frequencies shown for
mainstream at 1400 are off the air: 12040, 13780 at least, but RHC never gets
down to such insignificant details in published schedules. Most of the time,
it`s no-show Hugazo, so RHC programming continues on these frequencies.
I had notified Manolo de la Rosa that I heard his DX program `En Contacto` at
0730 UT Monday, but that`s gone, as well as the other just-discovered repeat
which he says was around 2005 Sundays. So it`s back to only three airings, Sun
1435, 2240v, Mon 0135. He forwarded this notice from management:
``Estimados oyentes: A partir del primero de febrero de 2011 se har?n ajustes a
la programaci?n de Radio Habana Cuba.
Por tal motivo desde esa fecha no saldr? al aire la revista Nuestra Am?rica,
que se transmite de 1 a 3 de la tarde de lunes a s?bado.
Tambi?n la revista Iberoamericana ajustar? su horario, y comenzar? a las cinco
de la tarde con una duraci?n de 120 minutos.
El resto de la programaci?n se mantiene sin cambios. Los domingos se mantendr?
la programaci?n habitual de 7 a 11 de la ma?ana y de 5 de la tarde a la una de
la madrugada del lunes. La direcci?n general de Radio Habana Cuba agradece su
comprensi?n.``
That`s in local time of UT -5, but will there be one-hour adjustments when DST
of UT -4 starts March 13 in order to stay in step with enemy #1, the USA, in
its absurd scheduling of clock-shifting?
I don`t see any significant changes on the new schedule concerning broadcasts
in English or other languages. 6050 is still listed for English at 01-05, but
at least HCJB has it back in the mornings. You may want to consult the link
above if you care about nominal target areas.
Unfortunately, this new RHC schedule came a bit too late to be included in the
just published WRTH update:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, Feb 3, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. 4750-, Feb 4 at 1344, some music audible, presumed RRI Makassar,
as this was slightly low in frequency as reported elsewhere; with BFO on it
seems the carrier is slightly unstable too. Have others noticed that? Also
carriers and some audio on 3325 and 3345, the only two active 90m Indonesians
per http://rri.jpn.org/ i.e. Palangkaraya and Ternate respectively (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. 9525-, VOI, Feb 4 at 1405 in Indonesian news, some hum, and
undermodulated. At http://rri.jpn.org/ Atsunori Ishida reports that this
frequency has become unstable, sometimes also on 9526-, with spurs:
Feb 2: 9526 kHz *1607-1700- 1607 (AA), 1700 SS. The modulation was bad, and
oscillating some spurious signals. Screen Shot of Perseus:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KOREA NORTH. 3480, Feb 4 at 1337, triumphal choral music, fair signal, and
no het audible. Presumably [North] Korean National Democratic Front relaying
PBS, rather than its nemesis Voice of the People, from the South. Could have
been on 3481 as listed by Aoki; did not nail down the frequency. Much better
signal here than on 2850 from KCBS (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 9385, Brother Scare via WWRB, Feb 3 at 2155 as I tuned
past was listing countries in alfabetical order, apparently 120 of them from
which he claims to have received DX reports (and therefore considers himself
greatly influential worldwide). He stumbled over a lot of the names, which I
found extremely amusing. He tried to pronounce Macedonia about a semidozen
times and never got it right. BS may be the Last Day Prophet of God, but the
deity did not see fit to bless him with a basic education --- or a nice radio
voice (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [non]. 7235 via TINIAN, VOA Korean, Feb 4 at 1359: now I cannot say
that VOA never plays a note of classical music. Several notes were played for
about half a minute before news on the hour, from a flute concerto, just as
Matilda was starting to waltz on 7240. Preceding, there was a m?lange of show
tunes with Korean commentary, and before that an Obama clip (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1550 monitoring: 2200 Thursday Feb 3 on 9955, nothing
but jamming audible; tnx a lot, Arnie! Confirmed UT Friday Feb 4 after 0430, VG
on WWRB 3185 and webcast; Friday 1530+ on WRMI 9955 poor with SAH from Taiwan,
no jamming except bleedover from 9965. Also confirmed after 1600 Feb 4 on
2-hourly Friday repeats from ACB Radio Mainstream webcast.
Next SW chances on WWCR: Friday 2130 on 7465, Saturday 1700 on 12160, Sunday
0730 on 3215. The Feb WWCR program schedule still shows only these three
airings (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 3210, Feb 4 at 1338, I am able to detect a JBA carrier, so will
like to think it`s the new low-power no-name NSW station, and will be
interested to see if others report it on the air at this time. 90m conditions
were better than usual with carriers and some audio from Indonesia/PNG on 3325,
3345, 3365 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

Warm greetings |!
Huge opening to South America including andean pop music on 1070 AM badly
jammed by WTIC-1080 Stalinist jammer, YVRQ and Cadena Agramonte fighting on 910
AM and several in the 800s including at least two Latins on 860 in null of
aurora weakened CJBC-860 Toronto... One of them is LA Q, obvbiously not XEQ

May the good DX be with you !
Conditions are way above average almost spectacular....something I haven`t seen
