** ANGUILLA. 11775, PMS missing again, March 5 at 1435, facilitating log of
KSDA on 11770; see GUAM (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ARGENTINA. 28479-USB, nicely matching WTWW on 9479, March 5 at 1417, LU5FF
in contest contacts. Running 500 watts. QRZ.com shows: LU5FF, Javier ( JAVI )
Pons Estel, P. Gaggero 2205 Int, San Justo, SF 3040, Argentina (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ARUBA. With 21 and 24 MHz open during some ham contest, I tune even higher:
27 MHz CB is still dead, *not* full of skip signals, but some activity on 28
MHz. There`s nothing like a contest to bring hams out of the woodwork proving
bands are open: March 5 at 1414, on 28424.5-USB, P49Y was working contest at
the rate of about 10 contacts per minute, believe it or not. Until he was held
up by N9OK which he had to call several times to be sure he got the call
correctly --- wasting half a minute!! Signal report always ``59K`` meaning
perfect reception and transmitting with a kilowatt. US stations, OTOH, give
their state, rather than power, why? And when does one ever hear a report of
less than 59? `48`?? Never, so why bother? QRZ.com says: P49Y, Contest Call,
Via AE6Y, Sabana Basora, IOTA SA-036, Aruba. See also ARGENTINA (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake March 5:
8400, good at 1350
9365, fair at 1351, not // 8400. This is the one that jumps around from day to
day, as Sound of Hope leads it by jumping frequencies
10300, poor with flutter at 1356, // 8400; fair at 1442, SSB QRM on the hi
side. No more FD found before 1359 up to 15 MHz (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** CHINA. 9765, CRI English poor but clear, March 5 at 1446. As soon as heard
the American accent, I figured it was CRI; // but way out of synch with
Sackville 15230. Only on Saturday mornings is REE Costa Rica [the other CRI =
Cariari] off this frequency. CRI is 500 kW, 292 degrees from Xi`an (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 5040, RHC Spanish gone again, March 5 at 0639 check. It had been on 24
hours earlier, past official 0600*.
11690, RHC, Saturday March 5 at 1453 in mailbag reeling off letter-count (for
2010y?) in descending order for all its languages, but only caught the last
one: two in Quechua. There were a lot more in Esperanto. Wish I had got the
full list. I suppose the illiteracy rate is much higher in Quechua than
Esperanto, so not a true indication of relative listenership. And was this by
P-mail only? Meanwhile, Cuba prosecutes people trying to spread internet
access. Remember that next time you e-mail someone in Cuba (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. Encouraged by 21 MHz band full of contesting hams, tried 24 MHz, March
5 at 1408: 24983 had CQs from CO8LY, the only CW heard, but some weak SSB
around 24950. QRZ.com says: Eduardo Somoano Cremati, P.O. Box 104, Santiago de
Cuba, 90100, Cuba. 18 MHz hamband also with pileups at 1515 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CYPRUS. With MUF up to 29 MHz at least, I tune across the mostly-vacant
22-27 MHz range, finding OTH radar pulses, presumed from here, 22520-22545,
March 5 at 1421. Same pulses at 1441 on 10517-10542 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** GUAM. 11770, Burmese speech in echoey chamber, but no audience reaxion,
sermon? March 5 at 1436, in fair and clear tnx to absence of 11775 Anguilla:
it`s KSDA 1430-1500, 100 kW, 285 degrees. So how many Adventists are there in
Burma by now? Are they persecuted, on the side of democracy, or keep out of
politix? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** IRAN [non]. 15410, R. Farda via Skelton UK, March 5 at 1458 with its typical
Persian pop music, but 1500 timesignal and into talk/news. What`s with that?
Iran is on a half-hour-offset zone, so this proves it`s more of a US than
Iranian station (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KAZAKHSTAN. 9310, March 5 at 1352, carrier with motorboating/hum, flutter,
no program audio. Thought it might be warmup period but YFR via Almaty is
registered from 12 to 14, 132 degrees, 200 kW wasted. OTOH, the fewer people
can hear that nonsense from Harold, the better. Aoki shows first hour in
Filipino, second in English (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KURDISTAN [non]. 11530, V. of Mesopotamia, via UKRAINE, March 5 at 1440,
exotic ululating music is back after too much talk 24 hours earlier, tnx to the
PKK terrorists (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** LIBYA. VOAf from the GJ, March 5: nothing ever heard on 21695 between 1400
and 1600, nor on 21660 during scheduled English. Other 13m signals were OK on
21505, 21540, 21550, 21570, 21610, 21655 and ``15m`` was chockablock with ham
USB signals during contest, e.g. at 1422.
17725 was on, however, with poor and undermodulated signal, mostly unreadable.
1401 English ID, drumming, S9+10 with deep fades; 1502 JBM = just barely
modulated. Perhaps the Sabrata site and/or the Tripoli studios are experiencing
some problems (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SUDAN [non]. 17745, Sudan Radio Service via Sines, PORTUGAL, March 5 at
1503, YL in English with self-imposed annoying echo, about we should be
prepared for changes, how to reduce our high expectations. 1504 into scripted
dramatization about disappointment, a male voice named Moosa and a female with
lots of advice, then others joining in; 1510 ID, fading some, still better than
Libya 17725. Perhaps SRS has a regular English block on Saturdays at 1500?
Overshadowed by Greenville 17740 carrier test at 1528 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 7506, nothing from WRNO, March 5 at 0446. I was checking since
Richard Lemke, AB, reported it Feb 12 at 0214 in CIDX Messenger. Thought it had
been off the air since November. Ron Howard, CA, says he also heard it on
7506.16, only Feb 14 at 0202. So bears checking for further brief
reactivations. Normal schedule would be 02-05 UT only, shifting to 01-04 once
DST begins March 13 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 21745, March 5 at 1602, Russian hymn with beautiful minor-key
harmony, 1605 Russian talk and WYFR theme. This starts at 1600 on usual 44
degree azimuth to Europe, which means we are roughly off the side, yet a steady
S9+20 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO monitoring: 9955, WRMI, Saturday March 5 at 1524, gh
JBA with lite pulse jamming, and WWCR 9980 overload. It`s the Saturday 1500
airing of #1554, next repeat at 1830; Sun 0900, 1630, 1830. On IRRS, Sat 1900
on 6090, 1566, 1368. I just missed checking the Sat 1700 on WWCR 12160, but DX
Partyline followed at 1730 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

UNID 15145 UNID Mandarin service underneath daily at 15-16 UT?
In past 2 months heard powerhouse China National Radio jamming on 15145 kHz
channel, at least S=9+25 dB here in Europe. Checked today at 15-16 UT slot
again. Could be like Elephant power against tiny mosquito SOH transmission
from Taiwan?
No entry in Japanese Aoki list on this matter noted YET ...
Identical jamming program content noted against, on
RFA Mandarin 7445, 9455, 9790, 9905, 11945, 13725 kHz.
RFA Tibetan 7470 kHz (1/8th second delayed).
SOH TWN Mandarin 9450, 11500, ?15145? kHz.

UNIDENTIFIED. Hi, there's two UNID stations on 19 m right now, 9 Jan
2011, 1515 UTC: One strong station, with Chinese chat, on 15145 kHz
(not // CRI 9705), and one weak station, with some Asian language,
religious?, on approx. 15209.35 kHz, apparently fading out, first
heard at 1455 UTC, the sermon or whatever it is was not interrupted
for the top of the hour. Doesn't sound like WYFR Portuguese/Spanish to
me, that might be the carrier on 15210.0. 73,

BRAZIL - 9665.10, Radio Voz Missionaria, 2310 tune-in on 3/3 tnx to tip from
gh! Christian PP pop mx, then into OM PP long, inspirational speech at 2314.
Even in PP, could pick up references to God, the family, the Bible, etc. 2320
"Amen, alleluia!!" several times, then YL intoning in a somewhat ecstatic PP,
with mx building, behind her. Able to tune the // fqy of 5939.85, tho at a
much
lower level. Nice signal and no QRM. (R Perry, Illinois
BRAZIL - 9654.35, R. Bandeirantes, Sao Paolo, 2300 3/3 with fair signal tho
getting splattered by QRM. 2 OMs in PP dialogue. A sentimental station for
me,
whenever I hear it, as Bandeirantes was my first Brazilian logging (and QSL!)
almost 35 years ago. (R Perry, Illinois)
BRAZIL - 9505t, R. Record, Sao Paolo, tentatively the ZY here with two OM in PP
conversation, fair sig. Record reported active here. (R Perry, Illinois)
BOLIVIA - 4699.96, Radio San Miguel, Riberalta, noted 1015 already in progress
3/4, OM SS tks repeatedly mtning Bolivia. Occasional GMT-4 t/c,s. Seemed nx
show with remote actualities being played. 1028 OM: ". . . ustedes en sintonia
con Radio San Miguel . . . programacion del campo y patrimonio nacional . . .
las seis de la manana . . . nuestro amigos . . ." 1029 pgm ends, YL crooning
with guitar, orch rift, then back into OM in SS again. Decent signal and clear
fqy, but a bit boomy. (R Perry, Illinois)
PERU - R. Cultural Amauta, Huanta, good signal 3/4 and 3/5. 1043 t/in 3/4 with
2 OM tlks in SS, sermonish dialogue, breaking at 1048 with OA mxa folklorica
featuring yipping YLs, guitars and quenas. At 1052 came the ID by OM, "MB
dias,
amigos oyentes, ustedes escuchando ... buenos dias . . . Huanta, Radio Cultural
. . ." At 1100 the 6 a.m. t/ck and another ID, f/by very pleasingly rustic
huayno. Also heard 3/5 at 1107 check, best OA sig in the band at this time,
tho
a very noisy morning. (R Perry, Illinois)
PERU - 4824.47, Radio La Voz de la Selva, Iquitos, noted 1058 on 3/5 with big
carrier tho lower modulation, OA mxa folklorica vocals by OM w/guitar and
quenas. 1101 OM yelling in SS in echo chamber f/by program of more musica del
campo. Also reliably noting R. Huanta 2000 most mornings around 1030 on steady
4746.97 (R Perry, Illinois)

** ANGOLA
7216.76 Radio Nacional, 1805, excited talk by a man, and fair
modulation. // 4949.75, which was stronger, but had lower modulation.
March 4. (David Sharp, NSW: FT-950, NRD-535D, R8, ICF-SW7600GR, PR-D5,
ICF-2010, Timewave 599zx, MFJ 1026, MFJ 959C, Palstar MW550P, SP-2000
speaker.)
** ARGENTINA
11710.65 RAE, 1020 with tangos, brief Japanese talk by a woman, into
more music. Causing strong het against presumed China on lowside. Decent
copy with tight filter in USB but copy became more difficult as the
transmitter drifted closer to nominal. March 1. (David Sharp, NSW:
FT-950, NRD-535D, R8, ICF-SW7600GR, PR-D5, ICF-2010, Timewave 599zx, MFJ
1026, MFJ 959C, Palstar MW550P, SP-2000 speaker.)
** CENTRAL AFRICAN REPUBLIC
5035 Radio Centrafrique, 1749, weak with French discussion by a man and
woman, under heavy CODAR QRM. First time I have heard this in several
recent attempts. March 4. (David Sharp, NSW: FT-950, NRD-535D, R8,
ICF-SW7600GR, PR-D5, ICF-2010, Timewave 599zx, MFJ 1026, MFJ 959C,
Palstar MW550P, SP-2000 speaker.)
** CHINA/TAIWAN (?)
15900 Firedrake, 1202. Usual music, but, noted male announcer
underneath, about 75-percent readable. Voice of Hope? March 4. (David
Sharp, NSW: FT-950, NRD-535D, R8, ICF-SW7600GR, PR-D5, ICF-2010,
Timewave 599zx, MFJ 1026, MFJ 959C, Palstar MW550P, SP-2000 speaker.)
** ECUADOR
3810 LSB HD2IOA, 1146, good with usual time checks by a man every ten
seconds, in H:M:S format. Feb 26. (David Sharp, NSW: FT-950, NRD-535D,
R8, ICF-SW7600GR, PR-D5, ICF-2010, Timewave 599zx, MFJ 1026, MFJ 959C,
Palstar MW550P, SP-2000 speaker.)
** FRANCE
21620 Radio France, 1212, English, with ID by a woman, "This is Radio
France International." Then into music program. Perhaps not real DX, but
more of a novelty. It's been years since I heard RFI in English (makes
me think of the "Paris Calling Africa" days). March 4. (David Sharp,
NSW: FT-950, NRD-535D, R8, ICF-SW7600GR, PR-D5, ICF-2010, Timewave
599zx, MFJ 1026, MFJ 959C, Palstar MW550P, SP-2000 speaker.)
** GUINEA
7125 RTVG, 1840, first time heard since reactivation; weak and fluttery
with talk by a French man and also local music after 1848. Feb 25.
(David Sharp, NSW: FT-950, NRD-535D, R8, ICF-SW7600GR, PR-D5, ICF-2010,
Timewave 599zx, MFJ 1026, MFJ 959C, Palstar MW550P, SP-2000 speaker.)
** ISRAEL
15850 Defense Forces Radio, 0640, music program with brief comments by
a man between most songs; into announcements at 0658, ID at 0700 and
into news. Very good and in the clear. Feb 26. (David Sharp, NSW:
FT-950, NRD-535D, R8, ICF-SW7600GR, PR-D5, ICF-2010, Timewave 599zx, MFJ
1026, MFJ 959C, Palstar MW550P, SP-2000 speaker.)
** LIBYA
21695 Voice of Africa, 1230, listed Swahili, but couldn't confirm this
with poor and fluttery signal. Talk by a woman and // 17725. This freq
faded by 1310 recheck, but 17725 remained, and even gained strength.
Further check at 1435 had this in English, with talk about towns in
Somalia and Ivory Coast, by a woman. Did another check at 1515, to hear
a man rant about the purpose of the OAU and the UN Human Rights Council,
but no reference to current events in Libya. At 1538 they mentioned
21695 and 17850; no mention of 17725. Then ID by a man. First time I
have heard Libya in English, in a LONG time. March 4. (David Sharp, NSW:
FT-950, NRD-535D, R8, ICF-SW7600GR, PR-D5, ICF-2010, Timewave 599zx, MFJ
1026, MFJ 959C, Palstar MW550P, SP-2000 speaker.)
** OMAN
15140 Sultanate of Oman Radio, 1455, English, "This Day in History" by
a man and a woman, into music, which was abruptly cut at 1500, then one
pip and into Arabic news by a man. Very good. March 4. (David Sharp,
NSW: FT-950, NRD-535D, R8, ICF-SW7600GR, PR-D5, ICF-2010, Timewave
599zx, MFJ 1026, MFJ 959C, Palstar MW550P, SP-2000 speaker.)
** PERU
4746.96 Huanta 2000, 1135, noted in passing with mensajes by a man and
woman, best in LSB to escape 4750 slop. Feb 26. (David Sharp, NSW)
4828.47 La Voz de la Selva, 1128, presumed with huaynos and excited
talk by a man. Best in LSB to escape het high side (R. Sicuani?). Feb
25. (David Sharp, NSW)
5039.16 R. Libertad, 1113, good with huaynos, and mensajes by man. Some
CODAR QRM. Feb 25. (David Sharp, NSW)

man, huaynos, some UTE QRM. Feb 25. (David Sharp, NSW: FT-950, NRD-535D,
R8, ICF-SW7600GR, PR-D5, ICF-2010, Timewave 599zx, MFJ 1026, MFJ 959C,
Palstar MW550P, SP-2000 speaker.)
** PORTUGAL
21655 RDP, 1245, presumed with a news-magazine style program, hosted by
a man. Fluttery, but good. March 4. (David Sharp, NSW: FT-950, NRD-535D,
R8, ICF-SW7600GR, PR-D5, ICF-2010, Timewave 599zx, MFJ 1026, MFJ 959C,
Palstar MW550P, SP-2000 speaker.)
** SEYCHELLES
21470 BBC Relay (site presumed), 1253, English, discussion about the
Middle East and other news, good on peaks but suffering slow, deep
fades. March 4. (David Sharp, NSW: FT-950, NRD-535D, R8, ICF-SW7600GR,
PR-D5, ICF-2010, Timewave 599zx, MFJ 1026, MFJ 959C, Palstar MW550P,
SP-2000 speaker.)
ALGERIA
6297.18 Polisario Front, 2040, good with local acoustic music and
excited talk by a man, best in LSB to escape UTE, high side. 18 Feb.
(David Sharp, NSW: FT-950, NRD-535D, R8, PR-D5, ICF-7600GR, Timewave
599zx and other accessories...)
ANGOLA
4949.768 Radio Nacional, fair with local vocals and excited DJ. Many
local references to "Luanda." Readable, despite weak modulation. 18 Feb.
(David Sharp, NSW: FT-950, NRD-535D, R8, PR-D5, ICF-7600GR, Timewave
599zx and other accessories...)
BOLIVIA
4699.92 R. San Miguel, 1032, fair with local music and talk by excited
male DJ. Surprisingly, this one makes it through on days, other Latins
are absent. 12 Feb. (David Sharp, NSW: FT-950, NRD-535D, R8, PR-D5,
ICF-7600GR, Timewave 599zx and other accessories...)
COSTA RICA
5952 ELCOR R. Republica Relay, 0715, presumed, with Spanish talk by a
man. Heavily jammed and sandwiched between two other stations (though
slightly better copy in LSB). 18 Feb. (David Sharp, NSW: FT-950,
NRD-535D, R8, PR-D5, ICF-7600GR, Timewave 599zx and other accessories...)
D.R. CONGO
5066.34 Radio Candip, presume the one with French talk at 1847, into
hilife, much later than listed sign-off. Very weak but readable. 19 Feb.
(David Sharp, NSW: FT-950, NRD-535D, R8, PR-D5, ICF-7600GR, Timewave
599zx and other accessories...)
EQU. GUINEA
5005.01 Radio Nacional, fair with Spanish vocals. Massive het with
someone, about 1.5 kHz, lowside (but couldn't pull any audio).
Obviously, much better copy in USB. 18 Feb. (David Sharp, NSW: FT-950,
NRD-535D, R8, PR-D5, ICF-7600GR, Timewave 599zx and other accessories...)
GUINEA
4899.97 Radio Familia, 2030, weak, presumed with Afro music and talk by
a man in French. Tough copy in summer static, but seems to be running
full modulation (audio copy in the past has proved challenging). Tried
for 7125 at the same time, without luck. 18 Feb. (David Sharp, NSW:
FT-950, NRD-535D, R8, PR-D5, ICF-7600GR, Timewave 599zx and other
accessories...)
INDONESIA
4789.96 RRI-Fak Fak, 1113, surprised to hear this with EZL vocals, talk

R8, PR-D5, ICF-7600GR, Timewave 599zx and other accessories...)
ISRAEL
6973 Defense Forces Radio, 2030, very good with discussion by two men,
into music at 2033. Not bothered today by the over-the-horizon radar. 19
Feb. (David Sharp, NSW: FT-950, NRD-535D, R8, PR-D5, ICF-7600GR,
Timewave 599zx and other accessories...)
MEXICO
6184.99 Radio Educacion, 0742, fading-up nicely with light jazz.

FT-950, NRD-535D, R8, PR-D5, ICF-7600GR, Timewave 599zx and other
accessories...)
ZIMBABWE
4828.022 Voice of Zimbabwe, 1950, good signal strength, but lousy
modulation. Brief hilife, with talk by a man about how bad things are in
Egypt (as if it's so much better in Mugabe-Land)... 18 Feb. (David
Sharp, NSW: FT-950, NRD-535D, R8, PR-D5, ICF-7600GR, Timewave 599zx and
other accessories...)
