BOLIVIA 6184.81 R. Santa Cruz Strange things going on overnight. Continuous OC
noted from 0309. Audio/pgming noted on only even numbered hours. 0402:08 audio
suddenly up w/pleasant LA Pop song, not in progress. 0409 canned ID promo by W.
Was OK in USB avoiding 6130 BBC, but then 6135 BBC Ascension came on at 0427.
Perfectly clear then at 0459 when both BBCs off. But audio cut off in mid-song
at 0502:38. 6135 BBC returned at 0530 in Hausa. Audio brought back up on Santa
Cruz at 0601:55 and audible despite severe BBC
QRM. Clearer at 0630 w/BBC off, but then getting splash from 6125. Perfectly
clear again at 0700 but went off at 0703:38. Some buzzing on the OC in the 0700
hour. Pgming back on at 0801:53. Regular pgming began w/their usual s/on
routine at 0849 and stayed on then. (17 Feb.)
ANDAMAN ISLANDS 4760 AIR Port Blair Tlk by W anncr at 1159, sounded like a
canned anmnt, then 1200 brief anmnt by W, then same instru. subcont. mx hrd on
other AIR outlets (I think going into nx), then same W again w/pres. nx
headlines for 2 min., mx bridge, W again, and 1204 M anncr. (17 Feb.)
TIBET 4820 Xizang PBS //7450 in Mandarin w/tlks by M and W, some soft instru.
mx. Finally got both good enough to make a stereo recording. (17 Feb.)
INDIA 4895 AIR Kurseong Gradually getting stronger from 1159, peaking around

BANGLADESH 4750 Bangladesh Betar The 2 Chinese and Makassar were in the clear
when Bangladesh went off at 1205:55. Came back on at 1212:55 and audio 15
seconds later. Really nice at 1216 w/subcont. mx. Went off again at 1217:20,
only to return at 1228:05. (17 Feb.)
PERU 4747.07 R. Huanta Dos Mil 1030 pleasant OA campo mx, then studio W DJ, and
ad block w/"R. Huanta" ID/promo at 1035:00. M anncr at 1036 w/usual nx pgm. (19
Feb.)
PERU 4955 R. Cultural Amauta Nice ID by live M after OA mx at 1059:15. And

PERU 4984.14 Voz Christiana Came on at 1100. Usual hardline rel. preaching,

short one. Probably best heard yet. (19 Feb.)
AUSTRALIA 4910 ABC/VL8T Tennant Creek (pres.) Signal popped on at 2130:25 amid
CODAR. Could definitely hear tlk by M at times right at threshold lvl. 4835
there but QRMed by lcl noise. (19 Feb.)
MALAYSIA 7295 Traxx FM 2335-2355 "Morning Zoo" pgm w/hosts Kevin and Isabel.
Pop mx and chatter by hosts, sports nx also. Very weak audio under apparent
Mali. Paralleled to the website audio stream which was about a second behind.
Inspired to check this by Ralph Perry's mention of getting Klasik Nasional on
5964.7 which was also there at the same time but blasted by Turkey on 5960. (19
Feb.)
ERITREA 4700.01 V.O. the Broad Masses of Eritrea 0257 usual IS w/ID anmnts. Tnx
Ron Howard tip. (20 Feb.)
DJIBOUTI 4780 R. Djibouti Finally this came on at the s/on and not already in
progress. Signal on w/tone at 0259:30 and instru. NA about 5 seconds later. W
w/opening anmnts w/ment of radio. 0301 into Koran going past 0312. Just fair
signal w/CODAR QRM. (20 Feb.)
UGANDA 4975.97 UBC Radio Suddenly on in mid-pgm at 0301:40 w/canned anmnt by M
and W in discussion. Brief mx bridge, then live studio M anncr w/greetings
including date given. W anncr then joined in. Just fair and modulation not as
good as it was on the 15th. (20 Feb.)
DJIBOUTI 4780 R. Djibouti Surprised to find this on late at 2235 w/speech by M
mentioning Somalia and Zanzibar. Ending w/clapping. 2240 into funky HoA vcl mx.
2241:45 W anncr starting w/what sounded like R. Djibouti ID. Long period of
deadair from 2242 until the signal went off at 2256:53. (20 Feb.)
MICRONESIA (PONPEI) 4755.53 The Cross 1155 Christian Pop mx. Started another
song for about a minute, then 3 telephone-like touch tones, and off at 1159:43.
Was hoping to get an ID as it was doing fairly well, but no luck. (22 Feb.)
PAPUA NEW GUINEA 3904.998 R. New Ireland (pres.) 1200 audible this morning and
noticed it was just a few hz below 3905. Looks like 3904.998. Island Pop mx,
then pres. nx by M. Sound bite from speech at 1209. Hams about .5 khz below
came on at 1211 ruining reception. 1212 brief mx bridge, then tlk by diff. M
but imposs. with the Hams. (22 Feb.)
INDIA 9809.972 AIR Panaji 1220 found here off freq mixing w/CNR on 9810.003.
Pleasant subcont. mx then tlk by M at 1222. Gradually got really strong
according to the Perseus display (wasn't listening at the time or recording).
Also looked like CNR went off and VOA Saipan came on 9810.03. Will have to
check this again. A busy freq at this time. (22 Feb.)
INDONESIA 6125.18 RRI Nabire (pres.) Found on late this morning. 1146 soft mx

nx at 1201. Ment of Jakarta. Went off at 1207:57. (23 Feb.)

Heavy hum on the audio which has never been as bad. (27 Feb.)
AUSTRALIA 2325 ABC/VL8T Tennant Creek 1130 nice signal w/chatter by M DJ, PSA,

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1
** BOLIVIA. 4717-, Feb 28 at 0058, Andean music before I settled on 5980 for
PERU, and Spanish talk when I came back at 0108, no doubt Yura with one of the
better S American signals tonight (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. 9645.3, Feb 28 at 0627 expecting to hear Vatican, but instead it`s
R. Bandeirantes in Brazilian, and VR is the weaker het on its low side. 9665v
and 9565v ZYs are also in well. Two nights before it was vice versa, with
Vatican and no Band, the latter assumed off (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** INDONESIA [and non]. 4750-, Feb 28 at 1302 talk presumed Indonesian from RRI
Makassar still reactive, 1303 music, vs a weaker carrier closer to 4750.0 ---
is Bangladesh Betar back, or would that be one of the Chinese? (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** JAPAN. 9760, Feb 28 at 0639, YL songs in Japanese, 0655 YL announcement in
Japanese so is it an all-YL show? Then more pop music by YLs. R. Nikkei 2 here
is the SSOB, as most other signals except Brazilians are attenuated. I had been
noticing JOZ7 the last few nights with unusually good signal, and strangely
stronger than JOZ3 on 9595, R. Nikkei 1, tho both are supposed to be 50 kW and
of course from same Chiba-Nagara site.
However, Aoki shows a slight difference in azimuth, 64 degrees on 9595 and 50
degrees on 9760, which is not enough to account for the disparity. NHK
registers these frequencies at each HFCC on behalf of ``NSB`` as it still
appears, showing both with antenna type 701, and with duplicate 24-hour
availability in the opposite direxions, 244 and 230 degrees, which would be
sensible to cover down as well as up the island chain (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 1370, Feb 28 at 0713 UT, Mexican political discussion from the south
with anti-sindicato sentiment (as the PRI President Pe?a Nieto is cracking down
on corrupt union leaders), 0705 ID as ``Grupo F?rmula`` and then ads. IRCA
shows two Radios F?rmula on 1370, but I`m sure this is not Nogales but the one
in Monterrey NL: XEMON, 10/10 kW, relaying XERFR 970, i.e. the network flagship
out of the DF. No doubt if I had listened longer I would have heard a ID rather
than 1370 ID (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 960, Feb 28 at 0107 UT, KGWA is on the air, and back to
abnormal with 0600-0605 Fox-hole of no modulation during which ABC news from
KMA IA is audible (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 1390, Feb 28 at 0107 UT, KCRC Enid is *still* off the air, 45
hours after we lost power and 35 hours after we got it back. Next check at 0558
UT Feb 28, 1390 is finally back on, so our fun is over.
[and non] 1640, Feb 28 at 0107, KOAG is on again but open carrier/dead air
only, allowing us to hear WTNI and WKSH Disney music under it easily. KOAG too
has resumed modulation at 0558. However, Chisholm`s FM stations 107.1 and 95.7
are still off, while the 96.9 one shared with OKC is back. The FMs are back in
business sometime during the day on Feb 28 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** PERU. 5460.36 approx., UT March 1 at 0112, presumed LV de Bol?var, WOOB
(`way out of band) JBA carrier I measure in response to Pedro F. Arrun?tegui`s
Chasqui DX report of it on 5460.30, Jan 27 at 0112-0127*. For him in Lima it
was 33333++ announcing it was ``a todo volumen`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** PERU [and non]. 5980, Feb 28 at 0059 tune-in, R. Chaski is already audible
with recognizable hymn ``What a Friend ---`` on flute. I think CNR1 jammer is
still there but now under Per? and I don`t hear its closing timesignal at 0100.
Tonight the splat from CRI/CUBA 5990 is already off too by 0100, and luckily no
overrun 5980 jamming either. So now Urubamba reception is gradually improving
but still combats generally hi local noise level and is subject to fading:
0101-0103 mostly talk, jingle and muffled announcement; 0103 music mixed with
Spanish talk. It`s more readable now in AM rather than SSB mode; 0105:50
instrumental music on piano/keyboard. Did not even need BFO to time the
transmitter cutoff exactly at 0107:13.5*
5980, UT March 1 at 0059 again hearing music seems Chaski rather than CNR1
jammer, which is surely moving further and further into the dayside from
wherever it is inside China. No timesig audible at 0100, but also due to 5990
CRI/CUBA spatter running over a few more sex. Urubamba then quite in clear with
music until 0100:50, jingle, usual talk unreadable (I need to switch to my less
bassy headphones), 0102 keeps repeating sounder with pauses, maybe automation
stuck; 0104 Spanish mentions ``la verdad``, more bits of music and pauses. Cut
off at 0107:18* (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1658 monitoring: the power outage set me behind more
than usual, but managed to finish just in time for first airing Thursday Feb 28
at 2200+ on WTWW-1 9479.
Next: UT Friday 0430v on WWRB 3195 (as of 0215, 5050 not on the air in AM or
USB; last week WOR started late at 0442 on both).
Don`t count on WOR appearing at its usual UT Saturday 0230 time on Area 51 via
WBCQ 5110v this week, since ``We will be broadcasting live from the Winterfest
on Friday night, March 1, at 8:00 p.m. (0100 UTC Saturday) on WBCQ 5.110 MHz
and 7.490 MHz, as well as the Area 51 block on Saturday, March 2, from 7:00
p.m. to midnight (0000-0500 UTC Sunday) on 5.110 MHz.`` If we find out about
another WOR time, will publicize.
Next: Saturday 0630 & 1430 in Europe on HLR 7265-CUSB; Saturday 1600 on WRMI
9955; Saturday 1830 on WRN via Sirius XM 120; UT Sunday 0500 on WTWW-1 5830

About a minute after dispatching this report, I hear from Larry Will that WORLD
OF RADIO will be on Area 51, WBCQ at its usual time, UT Saturday 0230v on
5110v-CUSB.
While I am at it, a couple correxions:
The date and initial time were missing from this one, here inserted:
** BRAZIL. 11885-11905 approx., Feb 26 at 0649, extremely distorted FMy
Brazilian music, peaking about 11895; not strong, but first time I`ve heard it
tnx to lack of local line noise. It`s totally out of order R. Brasil Central,
Goi?nia, as recently IDed by Jorge Freitas et al. in Brazil and also reported
by Carlos Gon?alves, Portugal. Missing from its proper frequency 11815. Music
continued past hourtop until 0704 unreadable announcement. Not audible by 0727
when all the 25m Brazilians have weakened (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
Last line of this item was mis-edited:
** MEXICO. 1370, Feb 28 at 0713 UT, Mexican political discussion from the south
with anti-sindicato sentiment (as the PRI President Pe?a Nieto is cracking down
on corrupt union leaders), 0705 ID as ``Grupo F?rmula`` and then ads. IRCA

rather than 1370 ID (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
