The link below seem not to work properly. Instead:
Go to: http://www.febcintl.org/home/ - click 'Our broadcasts' -> 'Search
radio broadcasts' -> Choose 'sort order', for instance Time. Then just click
'Search International'.

COLOMBIA - 6035.02, La Voz del Guaviare, the Unid LA station heard mornings
very weakly, after 1000, turned out to definitely be LA VOZ DEL GUAVIARE, in
Colombia. Long listed here, the programming (public praying of the rosary each
morning, by a priest and a congregation) still threw me for a loop and I
couldn't pull an ID out from the very weak signal, splattered by side-channel
slop. Took a shot and emailed LV Guaviare to ask if this matched their
programming and was delighted to get a quick response: ? . . . I am the
(female) announcer who announces the time checks on the air. What you reported
to us was correct, from 05:00 to 05:30 am Colombia time, we are transmitting
the
Rosary every day, it is a program of the Catholic church. Our signal is weak
in
your receiver, due to a failure in our equipment, but are already improving
this. We send a cordial salute for your report, which encourages us to work
even harder so that listeners like you can enjoy our programming from this
station called La Voz del Guaviare. ? (R Perry, Illinois)

** ANTARCTICA. 15476, checked for LRA36, Tuesday May 3 at 1930 and 1957, but no
trace of it. Something had been heard there the previous two Tuesdays in NZ and
Australia; and it was missing from its usual earlier broadcast on May 3.
15476, May 4 at 1257, LRA36 is back at S9+8 level, undermodulated talk; 1300
said ``buena m?sica`` audibly and then played some music. At 1346 Spanish talk
mentioning some years, possibly a history of the base. 1409 now peaking S9+10
but little improvement to the ear, mentions ``casa blanca`` (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA [and non]. 15287 approx., May 4 at 1303, very distorted FMy blob in
Chinese, no carrier to pinpoint, still same at 1333. At first I assumed the
Babcock transmitter in Singapore with BBC Mandarin was out of whack, scheduled
1300-1530, 100 kW, 13 degrees, but now I think it was probably a filthy jamming
technique by the ChiCom. Should have tried to // it with other CNR1 jammer
audio.
Firedrake May 4: not checked before 1300. All heard were //.
10300, JBA at 1325
11500, open carrier with flutter at 1328 and following semihour. Aoki shows
Sound of Hope at 20-16, and V. of Russia via Tajikistan to India at 12-15.
Firedrake previously audible in the mix here, but the OC today I suspect was
defective Tajikistan
13130, good with flutter at 1328
13920, fair at 1331
14700, VG at 1333
14970, VG at 1332. Cut off a few sex after 1400*
15430, poor at 1340 plus noise jamming vs V. of Tibet via UAE
15545, poor at 1340, jumped down from 15560 following VOT
15560, poor at 1334, het from 15562 carrier = V. of Tibet, TAJIKISTAN
15970, poor at 1337; none heard higher up to 18 MHz
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST
** COSTA RICA. 11880, REE relay, May 4 at 1327 is somewhat distorted and
splattering up to 11895 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDIA. 13710, May 4 at 1329 pleased to hear a bit of the AIR IS, so I
quickly tune to 9690, but that frequency has non-English talk, presumed the
usual Tibetan mistake, before switching to English AIR GOS opening at 1330.
Both these are from Bengaluru, but apparently with different input feed
routings (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KUWAIT. 15540, May 3 at 1930-1942, R. Kuwait in English with `Today in
History` (or whatever title they use), year-by-year chronology of world events
on May 3. Since it lasted 12 minutes, more comprehensive than your typical TIH
segment on other stations such as Indonesia. If one heard 366 of these, might
have a fairly good history text. I wonder if RK compiles this itself, or pulls
it off some website. At 1942, notice from the government about procedures for
residing in the country, leaving and getting back in, or not. Sufficient
reception but not solid (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. Sporadic E analog TV DX opening in progress at tune-in May 4 at 1424
UT, Spanish mix of networks on channels 2, 3, 4, 5, peaking SSW; including
cartoons on 3 from net-5, Loter?a Nacional PSA from another. 1428 Net-5
cartoons as `El Chavo`; opening almost gone by 1500, but at 1504 a bit of ch 2,
bug in upper-right looks like Azteca 13. There was NO indication of any
activity from Mexico (and very little in the USA) on the 6m QSO map during this
period (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. Re yesterday`s report of an open stereo carrier on 89.5 from the
Braum`s store on W Garriott in Enid --- I went back 24 hours later May 3 with
my DX-398 to track it down, but no signal. I now think it was probably an RF
feeder in someone`s parked car, which did not occur to me before. If it were an
employee, it could happen again; less likely if from a transient customer.
Never mind (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SUDAN [non]. 13620, R. Dabanga via MADAGASCAR, good signal with yelling, May
4 at 0515, with continuous tone jamming. Other frequency via UAE, 13730, only
had the weaker noise jamming described previously (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9330-CUSB, WBCQ with dead air May 4 at 0529, 0545 and still at 0545.
Next check when I awoke briefly at 0828, GFRN/R2:11 modulation had resumed.
23/7 customer, turn it on and forget it; their fault if the feed fail (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [non]. 17750, May 4 at 1410, quite good signal and modulation from
Denge Amerika = VOA Kurdish, 250 kW, 120 degrees from Wertachtal, GERMANY at
14-15 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9479, WTWW missing May 4 at 1421; it had been on 5755 as usual the
night before. Perhaps needed to turn off in order to work on new rhombic
antennas for #2 and #3 transmitters. Back on at 1555 check. George McClintock
has notified FCC that he intends to test the 40-degree antenna soon at will,
anytime on 12100, 5080, 5765, and between 11 and 23 on 9990 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. Intruder, 17656.0-SSB, May 4 at 1413, two-way in Spanish, engine
noise in background, still going at 1422, between broadcast signals on 17650
and 17660 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

Worth Protecting?
35 Donors Found,
Just 23 Needed
______________________
Just imagine the loss if someone didn't take care of the stuff
connected to radio broadcasting..the stories, tape recordings,
photos, memorabilia and all the bits and pieces that continue to
daily help shape our popular culture....and if you couldn't share and
enjoy these things for free.
Here at the Radio Heritage Foundation we've done this out of our own
pockets for over 5 years, but our bank manager says no more,
operational costs have to come from elsewhere in 2011.
We want to keep the site free and add much more from the boxes of
tapes, directories, old radio programs, photos and other stuff that
keeps stacking up on a daily basis.
Please visit www.radioheritage.com now and use the donation button
and become one of just 23 remaining donors needed to cover our
operational costs up to April 30. Even $US45 will sponsor one day so
you can see that you can personally make a big difference right now.
Your donation helps cover the costs of storing and researching nearly
100,000 tapes, cassettes, QSL cards, and other radio memorabilia
items; office expenses like printer cartridges, postage, paper,
travelling to protect and save materials from destruction, and all
the other expenses that add up over a year so that we can continue
sharing material through our website.
Governments are slashing budgets and radio stations themselves are
focussed on financial survival and often see no reason to meet these
costs. That leaves it up to people like you and I and we know it's
already been a tough year for many people.
Because of the support already received, we've been able to start
adding more new content to the website, slowly digging in to a
massive backlog of features, stories, research papers, photos and
audio as well as a digitized catalog of thousands of QSL cards and
other memorabilia.
Please go to www.radioheritage.com and donate now, with just 23
donations of $US100 we will meet 85% of the annual running costs up
to April 30, and even $US45 will cover one day.
Radio moves our hearts and minds, informs and entertains us and is
part of the fabric of our daily lives. Hundreds of people like you
have helped us with donations, buying books and CDs and contributing
to our library and collections. Please help us to continue to honor
this trust again in 2011.
Just two months ago, we saw the need for an emergency radio station
in earthquake shattered Christchurch, New Zealand. We arranged for a
mobile FM station to relocate there and were granted an emergency
broadcasting licence. This has helped uplift spirits in the city and
we're especially grateful for the help from many radio stations
around New Zealand who helped us get the station up and running.
Usually, we record radio heritage. This time we had to become part of
it ourselves. Keeping a radio by your side has never been more vital
to your safety. Our radio guides can also help save lives and with
your help we'll expand them in 2011.
A donation of $US100 from just 23 more supporters like you will meet
most of our operational costs for the 4 months to April 30 and $US45
will sponsor a complete day. Please do this today by going to
www.radioheritage.com and using our donation button there.
Thank you for staying with us in 2011 and making it possible for us to
continue to keep this website free to use for everyone, and to keep
bringing together our radio heritage, popular culture and nostalgia
for all to enjoy. Please ask your friends and colleagues to visit
www.radioheritage.com as well.
