MONACO 9800 TWR Caught their IS at 0655 and EG ID by W at 0700 that sounded
like "This is TWR England". Is this xmsn from Monaco or a different relay??
Their website says Monaco. Didn't they used to ID as "This is Trans World R.
Monte Carlo"?? (20 May)

** ALBANIA. 13735, May 19 at 2002, R. Tirana English to NAm, S9+15 but JBM
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ANTARCTICA. 15476, LRA36, Friday May 20: *1231:40 with music at S9+5 average
level, a bit too weak to get much out of. 1242 recheck, XYL was talking. 1305
still S9+5 with music. After that, thunder made me switch to inside antenna, so
much for Antarctica today (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake May 20:
17170, fair at 1231
16980, fair at 1235
16100, very good at 1235
15970, very good at 1236
15900, poor at 1236
15555, very poor at 1251 and 15545 also still on
15545, poor at 1248
15430, poor at 1341; not during previous hour
14970, very good at 1237
13920, very good at 1319; not during previous hour
13800, good at 1237
13130, fair at 1238
12240, very good at 1317; not during previous hour; none lower
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA [non]. 9650, May 20 at 1320, CRI via CANADA, `China Drive` with a
report about DST: China does not observe it after trying it 1986-1992, but
there is new pressure to resume it to `save energy`. Trouble is, China, which
should cover 5 timezones, observes UT+8 = Beijing time only, which makes DST or
multiple DST in effect to the west, and adding another hour would only make
that worse. One suggestion is to split China into maybe 3 timezones plus DST
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. 9526-, May 20 at 1305, zero signal from VOI which should be here
in English. Atsunori Ishida reports for May 20 only: ``9526 kHz (Carrier at
1004-1012)`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KUWAIT. 15540, May 19 at 1942, R. Kuwait with the illegal-immigrant amnesty
proclamation in English, which they apparently drop in at various times.
13650, R. Kuwait Arabic to NAm, not as good as 15540, mostly music until 2000
May 19, then talk, news headlines? 17550 not on yet. 2001.6, 13650 back to
music as intro to another program, cut off about 2003*.
Then I sit on 17550, and it cuts on at *2004.4, JIP programming, VG here, much
better than 13650.
DX Mix News, Bulgaria, as quoted in DXLD 11-20, missed 17550 and claimed 13650
was on until 2100. I had always assumed it was the same transmitter QSYing to
17550 around 2000v on same 350-degree antenna, and this confirms it. WRTH A-11
Update agrees.
21540, May 20 at 1254, R. Kuwait in Arabic talk and music is the SSOB, Spain
co-channel barely a SAH; 21780 Rwanda #2 on 13m (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** MOROCCO. 15345, May 19 at 2110, IMM is still on in Arabic past nominal
2100*. Tough luck for Germans wanting to hear RAE (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** PORTUGAL. 11840, May 20 at 0532, RDPI in Portuguese Portuguese, good signal,
ex-12060. HFCC shows this M-F 05-07 broadcast as effective from 27 March, and
nothing for 12060, even tho the change was only made a few days ago! Carlos
Gon?alves, Portugal, says ``was due to QRM, but not broadcast-related; it's a
disturbance caused on some aeronautical transmission``. An harmonic on VHF?
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TURKEY. 15450, May 20 at 1327, VOT is still on after 1230 English, playing
IS, and by now inserting Turkic-language IDs, in fact sounds like real Turkish
with `Burasi`, altho the only broadcast scheduled to start at 1330 now per WRTH
A-11 Update is Kazakh on 11880, blocked here by REE/Costa Rica. Finally turns
off 15450 at 1328:36* for hasty QSY by the Emirler engineer (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 15795, May 19 at 1856, poor signal from WWRB test, sounds like gospel
rock rather than big band music; without any Es, about the same as 15825 WWCR.
15795 still on at 2110.
The UT Friday May 20 0330 broadcast of WORLD OF RADIO on WWRB 5050, very good
signal and modulation at 0345 check; however, not to be heard on any of the
four `Global` webcasts from WWRB: 1, 2, and 3 were all KJV Bible readings, and
4 had some preacher other than Brother Scare. We can never be sure which
webcast, if any, will be carrying WOR. At conclusion around 0400 on 5050, Capt.
Dave came on live talking for a few minutes about his 15795 tests, explaining
some problems being worked on as in my last report (where further airings of
WOR on other stations are listed) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U K [and non]. 11680, May 20 at 0531, something on AM in Arabic is barely
audible in DRM noise from RNZI 11670-11675-11680. It`s BBC via Rampisham at
05-07, clashing with RNZI at 05-08, per HFCC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A. 17775, no sign of KVOH, Thu May 19 at 1904; come to think of it,
believe I have not run across it at all this week on its supposedly
Tue-Fri-only schedule. Did they finally sell that terrible old transmitter to
some gospel sucker?
WRTH A-11 update shows:
KVOH ? LA VOZ DE RESTAURACI?N (Rlg)
kHz: 17775
Summer Schedule 2011
Spanish Days Area kHz
1600-2400 .twtf.. CAm 17775voh?
Key: ? Irregular.
But when active it would start by 1500 or even earlier. Still missing at 1554
May 20 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** VENEZUELA [non]. 15290, RNV via CUBA, May 19 at 1857 IS heard briefly but
off at 1858*, back on at *1901.5 joining program in progress until 1902.4* off
again, *1903.6 on again, and did not keep monitoring, but noted it until
intentional sign-off at 1958.5* (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 10960, May 20 at 1241, JBA talking, maybe in Spanish. Nothing to
bleed over from plus or minus 1000 kHz, and peaks with preselector on FRG-7.
Unlikely harmonic either; mixing product? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST) ###

TWR 9800 broadcast is via MC site (called Monaco on ITU) but located
two kilometers north of Monaco soil,
on F R E N C H territory.
Program in English belongs to TWR England section.
Other TWR branches located on the Netherlands, ERF-TWR Germany Wetzlar, and
many other branches spread over Europe,
and managed MW and SW broadcasts via TWR Austria bureau, close to Vienna
capital...
