** BONAIRE. 6250, Sept 23 at 0508, leapfrog mixing product of NHK Spanish 6080
over RNW Dutch 6165, another 85 kHz higher --- best heard yet, S9+18 and 100%
readable, slight bit of Dutch audible underneath. The fundamentals were
extremely strong. I hope I don`t see any more logs of Equatorial Guinea on 6250
unless it really reappears, formerly usually starting later than 0530 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake Sept 23, before 1300:
15900, poor at 1231, none higher
14970, very good at 1235
13920, very good at 1244
13130, very good at 1244; none in the 12s
11500, fair at 1246, het and mixing presumed VOR Tajikistan
10300, very poor at 1247
7970, poor at 1247
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. Sunrise MWDX Sept 23, UT:
600, Sept 23 at 1201, ID as ``XELN, G?mez Palacio, Durango ? Radiorama
Laguna``. I was hoping to nail down the unID heard yesterday, but instead we
have another quandary. (GP is a sister city to Torre?n across the state line in
Coahuila, and they are really a single market known as `Laguna` for a dried-up
lake.) The 600 station there is XEDN, Radio Mexicana per Cant?. I am not
positive of the third letter, but it was a two-syllable one, not a D. I don`t
find an XELN for any radio station, but it is the longtime call of channel 4 TV
in Torre?n. Maybe this is a recent shakeup on the local radio dial. Cant?:
600 XEDN La Mexicana Torre?n, Coah. 1,000 1,000
BTW, the Radiorama group website, which may well be outdated,
http://www.radiorama.com.mx/secciones.php?sec_id=32
also shows Torre?n 600 as XEDN La Mexicana, but in a column under their
sub-network Megacima.
610, Sept 23 at 1200, rhyming slogan ``G-S, la que m?s le ofrece`` (or maybe it
was ``te``, familiarly) (I am never going to render Spanish letters
`fonetically`, as how to pronounce them, and Spanish numbers, is the very least
any Anglo, especially a DXer, should learn!). I hear this station often, but
not the listed ``La Ley`` name, per Cant?:
610 XEGS La Ley Guasave, Sin. 1,000 500
At 1202, into `Panorama Agropecuario` show, finally referring to Sinaloa, so I
knew it was the same station. Same program title is on 650 XETNT at same time,
but different show, I think. Mentioned approach of Hurac?n Hil(l)ary, Cat-4
already, first I`d heard of her.
1100, Sept 23 at 1213, m?sica rom?ntica, ``La ?nica, Mil Cien AM`` no mention
of FM or calls, but must be this, per Cant?:
1100 XENAS ?nica + FM 96.1 Navojoa, Son. 1,000 500
Had one thousand, eleven hundred to itself briefly. (In Spanish one would not
say ``once cientos``), a rather vacant channel despite CO
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 880, Sept 23 at 1210 UT, mix of Navajo and English by single OM
announcer, including ``TGIF``, ``33 degrees, almost freezing``, ``6:10``
timecheck, i.e. KHAC NM/AZ.
1080, Sept 23 at 1223, nostalgia music, ``All of Me`` in fade of KRLD, and
perpendicular to it; prime suspect westward is KGVY Green Valley AZ, NRC-AM Log
listed as NOS format, 500-watt PSRA starting at 0800 ELT, but this was 5:23 am
MST. Applying ``Eastern Local Time`` to Arizona is nothing but nonsensical. Do
PSRAs for them start at 5 am MST since it`s equivalent to 6 am MDT?? I would
not think so. As KRLD came back up, fast SAH ensued (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1583 monitoring: confirmed on WTWW 9479 Thursday Sept
22 after 2100; also audible before 2130 on WRMI 9955, and starting already at
2129 on WBCQ 7415. Also confirmed on WWRB 5051 (still no 3195), UT Friday Sept
22 after 0330. And on WRMI 9955 at 0514 with pulse jamming about equal level,
occasional peaks by WRMI. Further WRMI times: Friday 1430, Saturday 0800, 1500,
1730, Sunday 0800, 1530, 1730. On WTWW, UT Sunday 0400 on 5755; on WBCQ, UT
Monday 0300v on 5110v-CUSB. On WRN via SiriusXM 120, Saturday & Sunday 1730,
Sunday 0830 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Thanks to a certain Neil who provided a remote Perseus receiver in Brisbane,
Australia, I could enjoy some very exotic stations today - most of them I heard
for the first time ever. It's not as dee-exy as it were here at home, but still
great fun!
PNG
3325 Radio Buka, soft pop, SINPO 45433. 23 Sep 2011, 1915 UTC. At 1944 only a
weak trace of a carrier due to sunrise in the western Pacific.
3365 Radio Milne Bay, strong but empty carrier at 1916 and 1928, SINPO 55444.
Softpop at 1944, but only at 35332 due to sunrise. 23 Sep 2011.
3385 R East New Britain, religious programme with choir, one song ending with a
couple of "Amen"s, 54433. 23 Sep 2011, 1917 UTC.
Audio: http://tinyurl.com/3c5w24y (mp3, 8 MB, 8'51")
SLM
5020 SIBC, News in English with some accent, "Good morning Solomon Islands!",
45433. 23 Sep 2011, 1934 UTC.
Audio: http://tinyurl.com/3maa2xc (mp3, 9 MB, 9'43")
AUS
2310 ABC, promo for "ABC Alice Springs", announcement "Local radio across the
territory", 45444. 23 Sep 2011, 1948 UTC. Also on 2325 (45433) and 2485 (35333).
VUT
3945 Radio Vanuatu, male speaker but couldn't understand about what - weaker
than the rest because it's further east - fatal during sunrise. 25322, 23 Sep
2011, 1912 UTC. No trace of anything on 5055 kHz.
NCL
666 RFO Nouvelle Caledonie, Dance music, 33443. 23 Sep 2011, 1753 UTC. Also
weak in the background on 729 kHz (22322). Parallel to the RFO webcast.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"
Via Victor's remote perseus in western Sri Lanka, I could hear Radio
Madagasikara (or as they seem to announce themselves, "RNM", which acc. to WRTH
means "Radio Nationale Malagasy") on 4910 kHz tonight. They are in this weird
mode again, a carrier along with USB-only modulation. Best listening in USB
setting of the receiver.
Here is what the signal looks like: http://tinyurl.com/3sn2ooj - definitely no
lower side band.
Heard on Friday 23 Sep 2011, at 1956 UTC, still on at 2020.
Audio: http://tinyurl.com/44m3vtu (mp3, 21 MB, 23'18"), starting at 1957 UTC.
Mostly music, but with the DX vibe! The RNM IDs come at 21'32". Recorded with
the Perseus in USB mode, except 00:38-00:47 when in AM mode for comparison.
Thanks Victor! My inner-city gear just isn't good enough - not even a trace of
a signal here on my own Perseus with a DX-10 pro antenna on the balcony.

Eike

AFRTS Diego Garcia is active on 4319, but the audio is horrible! Strong signal
on Sri Lanka remote Perseus receiver (thanks Victor!) but hard to even tell
that it's English, but it is. Audio: http://tinyurl.com/43navpr (mp3, 1 MB,
1'06")
Heard and recorded on 23 Sep 2011, at 2122 UTC. Still the same at 2144 UTC.
Even worse in AM, LSB, and FM modes, so it's probably still intended to be USB.
Reported to AFN website.

Quick response from AFRTS regarding the poor audio on 4319 from Diego Garcia (I
used their feedback website):
"Thank you for the report. Yours is the second report we've received today of
audio distortion from the Diego Garcia short wave operation . By copy of this I
am forwarding your email to the Defense Media Activity Field Operations Office.
I will send you an update as soon as I hear from them. Thanks for bringing this
to our attention. Regards, - Gene Frederickson Affiliate Relations AFN
