** ALBANIA [and non]. 7425, Feb 12 at 0047, R. Tirana ID, with CCI from China
also causing a SAH. I would say it`s 60% Tirana, 40% China. R. Tirana never
took my advice since early in the B-11 season to get away from this by shifting
to clear 7420 for the 00-01 Albanian broadcast to North America. BTW, this hour
is not in English as someone reported (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ARGENTINA. 13363.5-LSB, UT Sun Feb 12 at 0023, very rapid play-by-play by a
couple of guys, football? Poor signal. May have heard a quick `Continental` ID
in passing, one of the regular occupants of this relay (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** ARGENTINA. After hearing 13363.5-LSB, I check 15345v for R. Nacional. Much
stronger signal here, S9+20 with flutter, at first just open carrier, then just
barely modulated with music. At 0042 somewhat better modulation with tango,
0043 mentions `Nacional`. I am listening with BFO on, and the transmitter is
audibly drifting (after the FRG-7 BFO drift settles down when it is first
turned on) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 15370, Feb 12 at 0026, open carrier with no flutter, unlike Argentina
on 15345v. S9+22. RHC is supposed to be in Quechua here until 0030, maybe ended
early. Off at next check 0043.
6010, UT Sunday Feb 12 at 0710, RHC in weekly Esperanto service, which I had
not reconfirmed lately.
Sunday anomalies Feb 12: 1411, 13670 is on but 13750 is off. At 1418, 11760 is
off while 11750 and 11840 are on. But at 1450, 13750 is on with RHC programming
// 13670, 13780 et al. At 1456, 11760 is back, but 9850 is off, 9540 JBA. At
1533, still RHC on 13750 // 11750, 13670, 13780, but 15370 is not on.
At 1643, 17750 is on at S9+15 but JBM with YL yelling (YL-ling?), so is this
Venezuela relay? 13750 is off, no 13680 either as reserved for `Al?,
Presidente`; 1644, 15370 is better modulated, seems like same cacophony as on
17750 with car horns, YL et al., S9+18 until cuts off at 1645*. Then I find
fair open carrier on 13680, and 11690 is JBM with same as 15370. At 1646, 17750
is now off.
Quite a mess, apparently RHC is undecided about whether to keep broadcasting
what is incoming from Caracas. Then I check the A,P website and find the live
feed is coverage of a parade, reviewed by El Hugazo and a seated compa?ero;
mostly young people with banners, marching bands, etc., still going at 1745
with goose-stepping soldiers. Doesn`t make for very good radio, tho there is
super-patriotic commentary by someone other than Ch?vez; seems to be in honor
of Bol?var tho everything the regime does is In His Name. O, this is it: 198th
anniversary of the Batalla de la Victoria, D?a de la Juventud. El Hugazo is
finally speaking to the crowd at 1821 --- on the video cast, SW unchecked now
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 9124, Feb 12 at 0633, big S9+22 open carrier with hum, and just like
on 11532, 24 hours earlier, which is not on tonight, most of the 0635-0636+
minute occupied by digital data bursts, from the V2a Spy Numbers station (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NEW ZEALAND [and non]. 5950, Feb 12 at 1407, weak signal presumed RNZI, vs
stronger NHK 5955; no sign of it during following hour on mistaken 15720 unlike
yesterday. At 1451, NHK Hindi via Madagascar was poor but clear on 15720 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NIGERIA [non]. 7275, Feb 12 at 0629 I am ready for at least a carrier from
FRCN as Tunisia goes off, but not a trace (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6925, Feb 12 at 1354 music on SSB, continuous OTH radar pulse
QRM, retune 1401 just in time to hear asking for reports to
``[email protected], thanks for tuning in`` and off at 1402; frequency
matched Nikkei on 3925.0 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PRIDNESTROVYE. 7260, Feb 12 at 0049, VOR in Russian with motorboating sound
on the transmission from KCH = Grigoriopol, 500 kW, 295 degrees; no such
problem on 7290, VOR in English from same site // 7250 ``Armavir`` (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 9385, Feb 12 at 1532, Brother Scare via WWRB is
announcing a test and asking for reports, Monday Feb 13 at 5-7 pm EST on 9990,
7-10 pm on 5085. If he ever mentioned WTWW, it was before I intuned, but he
normally does not identify the SW stations he`s on. This confirms the test
George McClintock already told us about; tho it`s the WTWW-2 transmitter also
tested 48 hours earlier with rational programming, apparently putting him on #2
is not in the plans, but eventually on a #4 which would have different
frequencies and propagation (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SPAIN. 6055, UT Sunday Feb 12 at 0051, REE English is in mailbag with
Allison Hughes, reading a report from `AP`, India, and others even quoting the
SINPOs. Says that March 15 will be the 60th anniversary of REE and asks for
ideas how to celebrate, party? Of course when it started it wasn`t called REE
and it was in the long-live-Franco, up-with-Spain era. Usual squeeze between
RHC and RHC.
9535, Feb 12 at 0132, REE Spanish is amid `Desde el Infierno`, the spooky show
with weird music and narration, its B-season timing of 0105+ UT Sundays (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. Checking out the WTWW-2 test Feb 11-12, first on 9990: tuned in at
2205 and I heard PPP // 9479 audio instead, with some splash. Transmitter dumps
off the air at 2207, so they are running that until the thing settles down.
More ons and offs 2208-2209. While off, I notice that WWV is strong enough to
splash upon 9990, but WTWW blows it away when on. *2215 back on now with rock
music. Carrier is noticeably wobbling and modulation distorted. I can hear
noise field splash out past 10000 and below 9980 (WWCR is off now) altho not
with specific peaks as previously. (At 2218 WWV propagation info was: SF=112,
A=4, K21=1, no, no). 2220 Olivia Newton-John. I compare the carrier wobble to
WINB 9265 and find 9990 more so. Other WTWW 9479 is not doing this. At 2224
during dead air on 9990 except for hum, I hear the same pitch hum around 10010.
Show finally gets underway at 2231, ``This Is Only A Test``, a.k.a. `QSO Radio
Show`, 615-547-9520. Modulation still somewhat distorted. First caller to Ted
Randall is WB0AEA in Lincoln NE. Dumps off the air again amid this 2234-2236.
2238 during music I can hear noise field extending from roughly 9960 to 10020 =
+/- 30 kHz. Altho it`s more than we get from most stations of this strength, it
is not too severe, and certainly better than when #2 was first tested.
There is too much going on and I am not listening to every word for the next 6
hours, but I never heard anyone mention or being prompted to check for spurs
and noise fields or modulation quality; just general evaluations of how strong
the signal is.
2240, a caller wants more rock music when regular programming starts. (Don`t
count on it unless some rocker wants to outbid the preachers for airtime here!)
Ted makes no such commitment. 2254 caller asks about possible QRM with WWCR,
but Ted explains they are some distance apart geographically and have separate
frequencies, no problem. (But what about when they are right next to each other
on 9980 and 9990?)
Signal is weakening just a bit; at next check 2320, cuts off the air again for
a while. Next check 2353, George McClintock is on the phone from the
transmitter site, telling about how he was also trying to get a SW station when
Joe Costello succeeded with authorization for WRNO. George is also diabetic and
lost an eye, but not limbs like Costello. 2358 they coordinate to make the
frequency change to 5085, and 9990 off at 2359.
UT Feb 12: 0000:30, 5085 cuts off and on and off and on. At 0012 the 5085
frequency has less wobble than 9990 had; decreasing noise field out to
5075-5105, but not enough to bother 5070 WWCR or 5110v WBCQ.
Many more calls discussing ham and SW radio. At 0127 they were talking about me
and WORLD OF RADIO, and how we appreciate George and WTWW for broadcasting it,
ex-WRNO, ex-WWCR! Ted says, ``Glenn Hauser`s program is an asset``. Thank you.
Around expected closedown 0400 they were still going with someone on the phone
who is apparently an equipment supplier, lasting until 0449*. The signal held
up very strong throughout (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9955, Sat Feb 11 at 2206, WRMI with `Media Network+`, fair signal, no
jamming, and far enough from WTWW 9990 test not to be bothered by that. Keith
is interviewing someone about ham radio emergency work following the latest
Philippine earthquake (Glen Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1603 monitoring: Sunday Feb 12 at 1646, JBA carrier on
9955 as scheduled on WRMI at 1630, and I can almost imagine I am hearing my
voice. Repeats at 1830 via WRN via WRMI, when listeners further east have
reported sufficient reception. Also on WBCQ Area 51, 5110v-CUSB, UT Monday
0330v (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 5399.5-SSB, Sunday Feb 12 at 1405, MARS net including an AA6
discussing sunspots, as I was looking for 55m hams 4 kHz higher (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 560, Feb 12 at 0538-0541, did not really expect to hear the WFIL DX
test way out here, but checked anyway, and heard only `When Radio Was` episode
of Jack Benny, from about the same direxion, presumably my closest 560, KWTO
Springfield MO. Tried BFO offset 5 kHz, but no sign of any MCW IDs either
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1540, Feb 12 at 0644 UT, `El Paso` song with Spanish lyrix and
norte?a riffs, but too much QRM to understand. Then promos and ads in Spanish
mentioning ``Southwest Military Drive` so I know it`s San Antonio, a street I
traversed often while at Kelly & Lackland AFBs, Von Ormy, even before the ID in
English as KEDA. This time did not hear their ``Radio Jalape?o`` slogan (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** VENEZUELA [non]. See CUBA
** VIETNAM [non]. 9400, Feb 12 at 1420, very good signal with love songs for
Valentine`s Day, some in English, but announcements in Vietnamese. 1459 ID in
English with music as ``Radio Free Asia, Vietnamese service`` to 1500*. It`s
100 kW, 285 degrees from SAIPAN. No jamming audible. At first I wondered if it
could be FEBC in Chinese, but they finish with 9400 at 1400. And after 1500,
FEBA takes over via Armenia to Afghanistan (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1340, Feb 12 at 0649, for the moment atop the graveyard jumble,
Dave with financial advice, call-in from Fort Wayne. Peaks ENE/WSW, no telling
what but not my daytime dominator OKC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 6925-, Feb 12 at 0056, S9+18 pirate on AM with blues piano to
0058* after a couple notes of next song, no announcement (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX

Prof. V. Balasubramanian, an ardent listener of foreign radio stations tunes
his valve radio. ? DC
When John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Texas, Prof. V. Balasubramanian knew
about it in a few minutes sitting in Chennai thanks to his Murphy valve radio
to which he has been glued for the last six decades.
Prof. Balasubramanian has been an avid radio listener who has a collection of
over 5,000 cassettes with recordings for over three decades.
DC spoke to Prof. Balasubramanian on the occasion of World Radio Day (February
13). It was his hobby that helped the 71-year-old Mr Balasubramanian get his
first pen-friend abroad. ?I befriended Mr Ronald James from New Zealand through
Radio Australia?s mailbag programme,? said Balu Sir as he is fondly called in
the radio listeners? circle.
Attributing his desire to develop an English vocabulary as his main reason
behind tuning into stations like British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) and
Voice of America (VOA), Prof. Balasubramanian said that during 1950s, it was
not possible to get an English magazine in Chennai so with no other option
left, he had tuned into foreign radios.
?We use to listen to the West Indies-Australia match commentary on BBC during
1960s at our college hostel and note down the scores for debating about it in
our free time,? Prof. Balasubramanian, a 1959 batch Mechanical Engineering
student of the prestigious College of Engineering, Guindy.
Reminiscing incidents like the murder of Mahatma Gandhi, John F. Kennedy and
man?s first landing on the moon as the most memorable events he has heard on
the radio, he said that there were many such incidents, which he could
associate with radio.
?When my mother fell sick I could not listen to my favourite shows on air so I
started recording programmes on my tape recorder. This habit continues even
today,? added Prof. Balasubramanian, who was the head of the department in a
private polytechnic college in the city.
?With the advent of satellite radios and difficulty in maintenance of short
wave transmitters combined with lack of funding for radio stations the hobby is
slowing dying,? he complained.

PERU - 6059.99,? Aroma Cafe Radio,? heard on 6,7 and 8 Feb.? Typically the
buzzsaw-sound open carrier noted before the hour, prior to a variable nominal
*1100.? Noted already in progress at 1108 on 2/6 with folklorica program,
plenty of rustic huayno music with arpas, sicu-sicu, quenas, guitar.? Ads by YL
in SS with piano mx underneath at 1110.? 1123 ". . . las cinco de la manana y
23 minutos . . " then into more huaynos w/ arpa and bass guitar.? 1124.44 CRI
open carrier blotted out most of fqy, but could still hear a little bit of the
OA underneath.? On 2/7 was an *1101 s/on, noting OM ancr and then NA and then
again following pattern and going into morning Andes sunrise pgm.? Best on 2/8,
big buzzsaw o/c at 1055 tune-in, nothing noted thru 1104 when briefly tuned
away.? At 1109 retune, OA NA already in progress. 1110 YL with nice clear
"Transmite Aroma Cafe Radio . . ."? with chimes or piano notes, and then
straight into same morning
folkloric programming.? At 1115, nice t/ck by locutora as "La 6 de la manana y
15 con Aroma Cafe Radio . . ."? and again at 1120.? Seems consistently a female
announcer of late and a folkloric music pgm, different from the fare being
reported not too long ago, which was I think was reported as a relay of their
FM signal.? (Perry, Illinois)
PERU - 4955, Radio Cultural Amauta, Huanta, best signal on 60 meters this
morning of 2/10 at 1035 with rustic huayno selection featuring simple guitar
plucking and YL singer.? Segued into another plucked guitar huayno but with a
small chorus of women. Rechecked at 1054 and still in folklorica program. ?
This was a pretty good morning for the Andes, also noting 5039 Junin, 4775
Tarma blowing in. (Perry, Illinois)
HONDURAS - 3250 HRPC, Radio Luz Y Vida, San Luis, hymn-like music fading up at
1130 f/by OM ancr in SS at 1131 (may have been opening anmts this date, not
sure).? Very weak modulation but decent carrier strength.? 1133 into religious
music and OM giving inspirational talk, seemed a mix of religion and
patriotism, equally as many references to "El Senor" as to "nuestra patria".?
Pattern was OM spoke, then paused as music cranked up, and then down, when he
started speaking again.? Rinse and repeat, hi!? Modulation improved a bit as
xmtr warmed up, but was fighting a losing battle with my local sunrise and the
rising D-layer absorption.? Almost gone by 1140.? (Perry, Illinois)
LAOS - Lao National Radio, Vientiane, nice signal 1255 tune in on 2/11, EZL
local Lao vocals with full instrumental accompaniment, local melodies.? 1258
into Lao pop vocal, OM with small combo, straight out of a rural S E Asian
night club, hi.? Music ran thru the ToH, then at 1301 a burst of a pounding,
disco-type electronic beat f/by OM with lengthy anmts in Lao.? Perhaps a news
summary.? 1305 music resumed with more Western-sounding guitar ballads, love
songs by OM, but rendered in Lao.? At same time/date, 7110 Myanma Radio also
really pounding in.? These two make for some wonderful morning listening, take
advantage while they are available! ? (Perry, Illinois)

ETHIOPIA 9705 R. Ethiopia 2045 excellent signal w/HoA Pop mx. More AR
style song. M anncr 2055 over the mx. 2057-2059 usual nx fanfare and final
nxbrief by W. Canned ID by M w/ment of "program" sev. times. ID sounds like
"NEE-Jes-car Radio". Choral NA to 2101 and off. (6 Feb.)
NIGER 9705 La Voix du Sahel Hrd w/W tlk as soon as Ethiopia signed off at
2101. Not very strong at this time. Afro Pop and Hi-life mx in the next hour,
a little stronger. 2253 W anncr in FR after song ended, then into Koran to
2257. M anncr w/short closing anmnt starting w/what sounded like an ID, ment
of "programme", then into choral NA for a minute, 5 second tone, the OC.
Unfortunately the local noise on 9708 wandered down over then earlier. (6 Feb.)
BAHRAIN 9745 R. Bahrain V.O. Russia is here in FR until 2100 (ID and addr

hours 10". Picked up a national syndicated pgm then. Good signal. (11 Feb.)
CLANDESTINE 6600 V.O. the People Was surprised to find this was not jammed
at 1016. Just MOR regional W vcl mx. Tlks by M. Was jammed later that hour.
(11 Feb.)
Was doing some listening in the morning when I discovered a fairly strong
signal from Myanmar around 1100. Quickly gathered up the Perseus and gear and
headed up to the SGLs hoping to get a good recording of this before conditions
change as sunrise is rapidly moving back now. Plus, the local noise on the freq
ruins any good reception. Got there and set up just in time for Laos 1200 ToH
gong routine, but unfortunately Cuba once again blasted it out. (Laid out the
315' BOG at 355 degrees).
MYANMAR 7110 R. Myanma 1211 usual Asian Pop mx w/W anncr host. Didn't do
anything special across their ToH at 1230. M joined in at 1232 and they had a
pgm of Rap mx then. Getting a lot of SP Ham QRM right on top for most of that
first half hour. Then had some calling CQ in CW after 1235. Was also getting
some slight odd motorboating QRM in the second half hour. The signal was good
but not as good as I was expecting. And with all the QRM, the trip was
basically a bust. (11 Feb.)
USA 9990 WTWW 2300 official ID and phone call. (11 Feb.)

Repeating to correct:? fqy omitted in prior report, by mistake:
LAOS - 6130 kHz, Lao National Radio, Vientiane, nice signal 1255 tune in on
2/11, EZL local Lao vocals with full instrumental accompaniment, local
melodies.? 1258
into Lao pop vocal, OM with small combo, straight out of a rural S E Asian
night club, hi.? Music ran thru the ToH, then at 1301 a burst of a pounding,
disco-type electronic beat f/by OM with lengthy anmts in Lao.? Perhaps a news
summary.? 1305 music resumed with more Western-sounding guitar ballads, love
songs by OM, but rendered in Lao.? At same time/date, 7110 Myanma Radio also
really pounding in.? These two make for some wonderful morning listening, take
advantage while they are available! ? (Perry, Illinois)
