ARMENIA/MOLDOVA/SRI LANKA At 1247 UT March 6th only a faint signal of
13690 and 13720 from YFR Trincomalee test heard in EUR, only poor to fair
signals in central Finland.
In Japan and Australia heard all test frequencies 13690TRM, 13720TRM,
17555GRI, 17860ERV with mostly S=8-9 signals, but in southern Japan close to
Yamaguchi and also at remote unit in Brisbane noted always stronger at
S=9+10dB level, and on 22 mb even rather on S=9+20dB signal level at 1235 UT
March 6.
I guess all YFR broadcasts from former DWL, now SLBC site Trincomalee Ceylon
can cover a lot of the Muslim world audience, from the westerly Tanzania,
Somalia, Sudan in NoEAF, also to NE&ME target, the CeASian and Indian
subcontinent targets, as well as INS and Mindanao in PHL too.

** AUSTRALIA. 9580, March 6 at 1358* this RA frequency cuts off air abruptly
(for change to 5995 or 7240 on different beams) as YL DJ is saying goodbye. I
never can catch her name, but per
http://www.radioaustralia.net.au/international/radio/programschedule?tz=0&stream=pacific
at 1230-1400 it`s ``Live talk and music with Al Crombie and Namila Benson``
(BTW, she looks Aboriginal). I usually only hear the YL; maybe they take turns
rather than both at once. They are also on at 1130-1200. Other `Live talk`
segments have different DJs:
2135-2400 Live talk with Phil Kafcaloudes
0000-0200 Live talk with Heather Jarvis and Clement Paligaru
0600-0700 Live talk and music with Isabelle Genoux
0800-1100 Live talk with Tracee Hutchison
1800-1900 Talk and music with Al Crombie and Namila Benson [not live?]
Those are from the Tuesday schedule to the Pacific; may vary on other days,
especially weekends, and to Asia. RA`s new website
http://www.radioaustralia.net.au/international
automatically detects your timezone for schedule display. Fortunately, my
computer is on UT already (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake March 6:
11500, JBA at 1432; no others found above or below
Propagation is quite poor again today, despite rising flux as WWV reported at
1500:
``Solar-terrestrial indices for 05 March follow.
Solar flux 132 and estimated planetary A-index 8.
The estimated planetary K-index at 1500 UTC on 06 March was 2.
Space weather for the past 24 hours has been minor.
Radio blackouts reaching the R1 level occurred.
Space weather for the next 24 hours is predicted to be minor.
Radio blackouts reaching the R1 level are expected.``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** COSTA RICA. 9765, March 6 at 1354, dead air, then REE cuts on as it is going
from Basque back to Castilian.
11815.0, March 6 at 1400, timesignal and REE ID, right on frequency today, ex
11815.247 yesterday and some other days, even tho there is no reception from
NHK today to confirm no audible het (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6925-AM, March 6 at 0621, singing on very poor signal with
little hope of identifying, but stick with it a while, and pays off at 0624
with announcement, novelty song, 0625 strong enough to hear Radio Free Euphoria
ID, and something with a 3+2 beat; haven`t knowingly heard this pirate before
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SPAIN. 17595, March 6 at 1408, `Espa?oles en la Mar` with PSA about calling
``Pan, pan, pan`` on 2182 kHz for medical emergencies, with more at
http://www.salvamientomaritimo.es That`s the Spanish coast guard, except they
don`t guard or patrol, just provide aid and rescue. But I couldn`t find any
mention of 2182 on their website, so need to confirm details, maybe from first
four minutes of podcast of today`s program once it is up (not yet by 1653) at
http://www.rtve.es/podcast/radio-exterior/espanoles-en-la-mar/

I am looking for a recorder to record radio stations from my AR7030 line feed
output. Do any of you have experience by using Tascam Dr-2d Recorder? I saw the
description of it in Amazon site. Before buying it I would be pleased to
receive any advice on using it.
Or would there be any other recorder you would recommend?
Please reply to me directly so that we would not disturb the others with this
subject.

PERU - 5120.01, presumed Ondas del Suroriente, Quillabamba, hrd 3/6 1057-1120
t/o, strongish signal at tune in, altho bathed in heavy static and bothered by
a pulsing utility station..? 1057? OM in SS and then into pleasant 2-man choral
huayno with charango and guitars. 1101 t/ck for 'seis horas' by sleepy-voiced
OM -- no passion for the job at all, it seemed, hi -- and long anmt, possibly
program preview, as hrd mentions of 'programacion diaria' and 'su sintonia'.?
1104 morning folklorica show resumed, very rustic huayno with YL and thumping
bass notes and fiddles.? Signal already starting to fade.? Another t/ck at 1110
in SS, clearly "10 minutos" and then again more musica nacional Peruana.?
Already getting lost in a sea of static by now and nearly completely gone by
1120, tuning out after two more songs and more t/ck anmts..? Reception bet in
ECSS-LSB.? Pesky ute on top of fqy, clicking away, but the Quillabamba station
quite workable despite
the ute.? Have seen listings of this with 1030 s/on, in which case may be much
better heard a half hour earlier than today. ? Never caught an ID, but am quite
certain about this one. (Perry, Illinois)
