** CHINA. Firedrake March 24, before 1330:
12230, good at 1314
13680, good at 1317; 100-watt nuisance SOH Taiwan probably targeted
13920, very good at 1315
15500, good at 1321, het from 15498, presumed V of Tibet, Tajikistan
15595, good at 1321; also open carrier or JBM on 15600, het on 15603
15940, very good at 1320
15970, fair at 1319; none in the 14s
16980, good at 1327
17250, poor at 1330
After 1400:
17570, fair at 1410, vs V of Tibet, Madagascar
15605, good at 1411
13970, poor at 1418; none in the 11s, 12s, 14s, 16s
13680, fair at 1418 with ACI from CRI Canada 13675
Before 1500:
9930, fair at 1452. Target something new? Aoki has T8WH Palau until 1500 only
on Sundays with LeSEA music, which means it may not have been on SW at all.
EiBi has generic WHR Palau in English until 1500 daily. HFCC shows ``HBN`` with
unsourced Cantonese and English at 1430-1500 daily.
12130, at 1452, something weak mixing with FD, I think but not certain.
Scheduled at 14-15 is RFA in Vietnamese via Sri Lanka. I can barely make a //
13680 at 1454; unusual for FD to be used for Vietnam
13680, poor at 1454, despite R. Farda, Wertachtal from *1430
17250, fair with flutter at 1458; none in the 14s, 15s, 16s, 18s
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** EQUATORIAL GUINEA [and non]. 15190, March 23 at 1858, R. Africa audible with
OM gospel huxter vs horrible splatter from overmodulated SPAIN [q.v.] on 15110.
Yet 15190 signal is better than usual, g.h. partly readable at 1908, with
musical background. At the moment 15190 is about the upper limit of the
Spain-splatter. He closes at 1911, ``until next week``, and then only a
semiminute of dead air!!
Is there any ID? Of course not! By 1911:30 or so, the next show starts,
something ``of Truth, broadcast from the US``, greeting listeners in several
countries, and referencing I Timothy 5:24, which says in my handy pocket cowboy
Bible NIV translation: ``The sins of some men are obvious, reaching the place
of judgment ahead of them; the sins of others trail behind them`.`` How
profound; this assumes one accepts the very concept of ``sin``.
At 2019, 15190 is still on and still splattered by Spain, and now YFR Ascension
is also on 15195, but today R. Africa is at least as strong and gaining. 2045,
15190 still on with YL g.h. rather distorted and still splattered as I quit for
now.
Earlier March 23 past 1500, Ron Howard was getting R. Africa colliding with
IRRS/Romania on 15190, fill music instead of Arabic women show, but March 24
until 1507, I am only hearing Brother Scare and psychophants on his extended
Sabbath service. At 1640 recheck still revival music from Walterboro, Romania
// but not synch with 9385, 9980. Possibly a second carrier underneath but
can`t be sure. Will be uncovered at 1700: at 1702, a very weak carrier on
15190.0, I suppose R. Africa (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** IRAN. 15345-, March 23 at 1900, muffled ID in French but could not catch it;
certainly not Argentina, and no sign of that; evitable 4+ kHz het from Morocco
15349+, to this slightly on the lo side of 15345. Flute & drums, M&W
conversing, also more bits of music, mentions ``ann?e nouvelle, printemps``.
That fits for Iran with its logical new year coinciding with spring equinox,
and VIRI is so listed in French at 1830-1930, 500 kW, 259 degrees from
Kamalabad, for W & C Africa from Mauritania to Chad and Gabon. From 1906:45
heard a closer het on and off and on and off, maybe RAE trying to get going. At
1913, the Islamists were reading a ponderous script on an historical or
cultural topic (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KUWAIT [and non]. 15540, March 23 at 1916, VG signal with hard rock music,
so R. Kuwait`s ``Arabic`` service in English is propagating today while I was
distracted lower in the band by the mess around 15110-15190. Must have been
good for the Islamic evangelism show at 1800, news at 1830. But by 2018 recheck
had diminished to JBA. This thing must be right close to the MUF, often
inaudible, but if it pokes up a bit higher, in it comes. We can hope for more
of MOI as spring progresses.
Then checked 13650, which yesterday bore Kuwait in Arabic to us, colliding with
Canada in French during previous hour; but at 2021 March 23 the Arabic is on
the contrary now from Canada, // 11870, with ACI from RHC 13640. Kuwait
supposedly raises from 13650 to 17550 at 2000 to N America, but that still
isn`t propagating (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** LEBANON [non]. Re the V. of Charity relay in Arabic via Vatican I have been
hearing at 0530 on 9645, Patrick Robic, Austria says ``According to a QSL
letter from some years ago their Arabic name is "Sawt al mahabba"`` (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NEW ZEALAND. 11725, March 24 at 0538, RNZI only fair with flutter, unusual
for this trans-equatorial path, while higher latitudes were in better, as was
RNZI DRM on 13725-13730-13735, altho ``flutter`` doesn`t really apply to the
way DRM noise can sound (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NIGERIA. 15120, March 23 at 1858 another check for VON, but it`s hopelessly
blocked by huge splatter from overmodulated 15110 SPAIN, q.v. However, when
tuned to REE via Costa Rica 15125, besides the 15110 splatter, I can also hear
QRDRM noise from 15120, confirming VON is still wasting its watts in that
wonderful new mode (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ROMANIA. 15460 // 17530, March 24 at 1328, RRI German service again with the
horrible audio artifacts on the sidebands I recorded yesterday. And also
audible during IS on 17540 at 1459 prior to Arabic hour.
My yesterday`s report drew these responses, from Kai Ludwig, Germany:
``You say there were spurs? Probably the program audio gets inverted on these
spurs, arising already at the audio frequency stage, in the same way than
primitive voice scrambling works. The cause could be within the audio input
equipment at the transmitter plant, resulting in the fault showing up on both
frequencies.``
And later, March 24 at 1321: ``Today the same here as on earlier occasions:
17530 is inaudible, if on air at all; I can't even trace a carrier.
But 15460 comes in well, with the news mentioning the time switch this night
and the criticism against this pointless exercise. Now I finally hear the
phenomenon for myself, further supporting what I suspected already from your
recording:
There appear to be spurs on both sides of the carrier, intensely modulated with
inverted program audio. Actually I can note only these modulation products
clearly; the "original" spurs can just barely be traced when suspecting what's
going on.
It's indeed a pretty prominent effect that should have prompted someone to ask
on mailing lists. From the German point of view I'm even more astounded about
something else: That nobody discussed how 17530 usually skips over Germany. The
only possible explanation I see is identical for both aspects. I think I do not
have to speak it out, don't I?`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SPAIN [and non]. 15110, March 23 at 1857, REE IS, extremely distorted
overmodulation, splattering worst plus/minus 40 kHz, but also audible up to
15280, and less on the lower side to 15000 or so; useless and bothering a wide
part of the 19m band. Come on, Noblejas, get your transmitter fixed, or turn it
off!
I am of course trying to check on Nigeria, q.v. on 15120, and Equatorial
Guinea, q.v. on 15190; I can still hear the latter with REE splat but 15120 is
hopeless at first. REE Noblejas is also QRMing its own Costa Rica relay on
15125 which is already running with programming, not IS.
It also has QRDRM from 15115-15120-15125 Nigeria, the main way of telling that
is operating. By 1907 when REE is talking, still distorted and splattering, but
not so widely. Recheck 2019, 15110 is still extremely distorted and splattering
past 15190; and at 2045, but less on the low side (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** SUDAN [and non]. 13800, March 24 at 0536, oscillating tone jammer, no doubt
as previously heard vs R. Dabanga, via UAE which doesn`t propagate here even
without the jamming. Other frequency 7315 via FRANCE has good signal at 0544,
no jamming audible. If there is any doubt, chances are R. Dabanga will ID every
few minutes, often in song.
Anyhow, this is the last day of the B-11 season, after which all the
frequencies change for A-12; will the jammers follow immediately? The 0429-0557
broadcast is to be on 15550 from UAE, 15400 from Madagascar, and 11650 from
Vatican (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SWAZILAND. Re unID in my last report, 9500 at 0515 March 23 with African
English preacher, suspected TWR? Bill Bingham, RSA replies:
Yes, confirmed TWR Swaziland. And yes, it happened again. 9500 Manzini. Mar 24,
2012, Saturday. 0459-0517. Repetitions of TWR IS and "This is TransWorld Radio,
Swaziland", to sign on at 0500 with ID "This is Trans World Radio Bringing
Hope to the World. Thanks for tuning into Radio 155". Followed by programme
announcements, then an OM preacher preaching. Into children`s programming at
0515, enacting The Nativity. At 0530, a medical programme on lymphoma. Fair -
good. Joburg sunrise 0414.``
An early start to A-12 scheduling? NO, not supposed to be on 9500 then, either
(Glenn Hauser, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TAIWAN [non]. Oh, poor RTI: WYFR is screwing up your relays again. We
thought it had all been fixed, but last night on 6875, English at 0500 was
missing so they had to play backup filler music from Okeechobee. Tonight, UT
March 24 at 0534, when supposed to be in English, it`s back to Chinese, the
wrong language which was broadcast nightly from November to January or
February. And furthermore at 0602 it`s back to German instead of correct
Spanish! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1609 monitoring: checking WBCQ Area 51 webcast at 0128
UT Saturday March 24, music playing instead of WOR. Apparently AWWW ran much
later than usual, and WOR playback started at 0135, so now we know it could be
anywhere from 0100 to 0135, or even later, I suppose.
Then checked 5110v, and it was poorly audible in spring storm noise level; also
QRM was such that I could hear it better in LSB than USB altho supposedly
transmitted carrier plus USB only.
Next chance: UT Sunday 0400 on WTWW 5755. Also on WRMI 9955: Saturday 1730,
Sunday 0800, 1530, 1730, Monday 0500, 1130.
Also on WRN via SiriusXM channel 120: Sat & Sun 1730, Sun 0830 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1340, March 24 just as I tune across at 0556 UT, ID for ``1340 KGGS``
and country music, dominating the graveyard frequency for a bit. Ever since
this brand new station hit the air Nov 9 from Garden City KS, owned by KGYN
Guymon OK, I had been wanting to hear it, and figured SR/SS would be best, but
now I get it without even trying in the nightmiddle. Daytime groundwave blocked
by OKC. See DXLD 11-46 for all about KGGS (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

PERU - 6173.90 Radio Tawantinsuyo, Cusco, 1035-1050 f/out on 3/14, very
pleasant morning folkorico program with mainly numerous segued huaynos,
featuring guitars, charangos, fiddles.? OM deejay t/ck in SS at 1036. An
occasional balada as a change of pace.? Fair signal at tune-in but
deteriorating fast amid the static.? Okay QSA in general and QRM not bad this
morning, the het being notchable.? Best in ECSS-LSB, sync'd.? Morning s/on
perhaps somewhat variable but when early enough (pre-1030ish) this stands a
good chance of making it to Illinois.? (Perry,
Illinois)
NIGERIA - 15119.84 Voice of Nigeria, 1940 on 3/15 with very nice signal.? EE
world and national news.? Economic nx about Nigerian state budget.?
Pleasant-voiced YL with fine Nigerian-inflected EE.? At 1945, fanfare and "You
are tuned to The Voice of Nigeria . . ."? (Perry, Illinois)
UNID - 3309.99 unid station on 3/21 from 1012-1033 when lost in the noise,
seemed boomy voiced OM in SS(?) interchanging with plucked guitar music,
possibly Andes-flavoured but couldn't really hear well enough to tell. Signal
fairly poor at best.? R. Mosoj Chaski, Bolivia, a possible candidate but for
now, just another unid to work, hi.? (Perry, Illinois).
PERU - 4774.95 Radio Tarma, 1025 nice morning pgm of musical nacional peruana
and fair signal.? Clear t/cks by OM for "cinco de la manana...".? Had to use
the Quantum Phaser unit to phase out the local electrical noise to uncover
Tarma, though -- been bad lately.? Also on a quick check at 1015 on 3/24.?
(Perry, Illinois)
BOLIVIA - 6134.83 Radio Santa Cruz, Sta. Cruz de la Sierra, in the clear at
1020 on 3/24 with morning nx show including remote feeds. OM and YL ancrs, SS.?
Fair signal but no QRM at all.? This one is always a treat.? (Perry, Illinois)
THAILAND - 9720, Radio Thailand, open carrier popped on at *1230, just as Aoki
promised, and then into English service.? Nice signal for world and national
news presented by YL in EE.? Item about $70 billion infrastructure enhancement
plan for Thailand after last year's floods.? Also item about high speed railway
plans for the Kingdom.? Interesting to note that at 1215 t/in, China is booming
in on this fqy but, again, just as Aoki promises, they sign off and cut the
carrier fy 1227*.? After a couple minutes of atmospheric noise and doubt about
whether Bangkok will turn up, bingo, there they are.? Having lived there 7
years, this is like getting letters from home, hi.? Tnx gh for tip on this
one.? (Perry, Illinois)
