Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1
** ALASKA. 9655, March 27 at 1329, slowly-spoken English lesson about how
Christians c-a-r-e, back into Chinese. KNLS lux into a clear frequency, one
hour sandwiched between NZ and Kunming before and after, not to mention Brother
Scare via Germany supposedly on 9655 from 1400. Is 300 degree azimuth, so
directly off the back would be 120, rather OKward. Does suffer from
CRI/Sackville 9650 ACI (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** AUSTRALIA. 9580, March 27 at 1355, R. Australia with a segment from ABC
Local Radio about sponge cakes, rudely cut off incomplete at 1358*, the
mandatory QSY time for this transmitter, no courtesy announcement, no nothing,
forcing us to hustle to retune to 9590 for the conclusion. RA studio ought to
wrap up its programming by 1358 if it had any finesse (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake March 27:
13850, very poor at 1342
13970, poor with CCI at 1342
15550, good at 1346; none in the 11s, 12s, 14s
15565, fair at 1347
15900, fair at 1347
16100, poor at 1348
17570, fair with flutter at 1413. Yesterday this was on 17560, as V. of Tibet
apparently jumps back and forth via Madagascar, making the evil SARFT
jammonitors earn their pay. HFCC has VOT only on 17560, and Aoki doesn`t show
17570 as alternate either (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA [and non]. 9760, March 27 at 1335, CRI English is back on this ``VOA``
frequency, // 15260 unsynchronized via Sackville. In B-11, VOA had it during
this hour, the only days of the week it wanted, Sat & Sun for `Jazz America`,
but latest HFCC A-12 as of March 27 shows:
CRI English on 9760 at 12-14, 500 kW, 135 degrees from Kunming daily, vs IBB at
13-14 Sat & Sun only, 250 kW, 305 degrees from Tinian [not Tinang any more], so
this means they will be colliding again. What`s the point of ``co?rdinating``
at HFCC, if allowing this to rehappen?
BTW, total IBB usage of 9760 is now registered as, daily u.o.s.:
0100-0200 Tajik from Biblis
0230-0530 Persian from Lampertheim (R. Farda)
1300-1400 English from Tinian Sat & Sun
1500-1600 English from Thailand
1600-1700 Uzbek from Lampertheim
1700-1800 Turkmen from Lampertheim
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. 9526-, March 27 at 1332, good signal from VOI, but just barely
modulated, can`t tell if RRI Banjarmasin is involved this Tuesday. Yet another
total-loss broadcast.
How can this go on for years and years from some stations? They keep turning on
the transmitters, but fail to modulate or modulation is horribly defective.
Total incompetents must be in charge at the management and/or engineering
level. Maybe total lack of internal communication, no one willing to tell it
like it is to those who need to know, who obviously don`t ever turn on a radio.
Hmm, what is the purpose of broadcasting, anyway? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** MOROCCO [and non]. 15341.17, March 27 at 1345, as closely as I can measure
it with the keyboard, off-frequency of IMM making big het against HCJB
Australia which is stronger. By 1520, Morocco has shifted to 15345.17. Based on
A-11, Aoki A-12 shows 1410 as the changeover time. It`s not hetting anything
yet, but Cairo English southwards may be on 15345 at 16-18, and Argentina
starts at 17 weekdays (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** RWANDA. 17820, March 27 at 0609, news in English, VP signal, but OSOB, so
now something is arriving on 16m in the nightmiddle as we get into the
A-season, but it`s not from a hi-latitude path like Europe or China where the
terminator is heading north, but from the equator, still over a mostly-darkness
path: DW at 0600-0700, 250 kW, 295 degrees also USward (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** VATICAN [non]. 11890, March 27 at 1337, fair signal with discussion in
Italian about immigration, ``molto vivace``, not referring to music. The major
Italian-language broadcaster since Rai totally abandoned SW is Vatican Radio,
but this was quite secular. However, HFCC shows VR is indeed scheduled on 11890
at 1315-1400, but supposed to be in Vietnamese, 250 kW, 280 degrees from
TINIAN!
Apparently got their feeds upmixed. Lots of relay sites just plug into the
listed program feed line and don`t pay any attention to whether it be in the
right language. Not their job! Aoki lists this too for A-12, plus REE in
Spanish via Beijing, China now on 11890 at 1200-1357, unheard, while HFCC still
has that on 11910 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

A couple of frequencies were cited incorrectly in these recent items; pleas
replace with:
** EQUATORIAL GUINEA [non]. 6250, March 25 at 0511, Spanish is back at
0500-0527 in A-12, fair readable signal, as BONAIRE relay has resumed like in
A-11, NHK Spanish on 6080, leapfrogging over RNW Dutch on 6165, to land another
85 kHz higher on 6250. Usual pattern is for 6165 and consequently 6250 to
vanish at 0527, while 6080 continues another two or three minutes.
If anyone ever assumes this is Malabo reactivated without any evidence during
this half-hour only, we shall know they are not paying attention (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. 17530, March 26 at 1919, big open carrier with French JBA
underneath; 1929 VOA sign-on. Yet another instance of unnecessary site changes
in the middle of a transmission, causing VOA to interfere with itself: HFCC
shows French at 1830-1930 via S?o Tom?, and 1930-2030 via Greenville B, which
should tune up elsewhere and crash-start on 17530 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

Noted womans chorus at 1550 UT March 27 on 9525.975 kHz, but only poor S=6-7
signal this afternoon in Europe.
(wb, wwdxc BC-DX TopNews March 27)
MOROCCO [and non]. 15341.17, March 27 at 1345, as closely as I can measure

15345.141... wandered to 15345.137 S=9+10dB signal, registered at 1410-2100
UT, SNRT RTVM Nador program in Arabic, two young ladies talk of refreshing
young voices at 1730-1740 UT March 27.
But suffered by an annoying nearby heterodyne 126 Hertz tone of nearly
co-channel Radio Cairo English sce to Central and South Africa,
on 15345.013 kHz S=7-8 fair back lobe to Germany. From Abu Zabaal site
scheduled 16-18 UT. Cairo has left air when checked again at 1757-1758 UT.
So let's wait later the night, when RAE Buenos Aires will also appear NEARBY
odd frequency.
