Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"
MEXICO 6010 R. Mil (pres.) Went off at 0336:58. Was wobbling again about
+/-4 hz. (9 Sept.)
COLOMBIA 6009.98 LV de tu Conciencia Had a double carrier 10 hz above the
main from about 0130 check. No doubt about it as it was mirroring the main
signal as it drifted. It started weakening and breaking up around 0310 and
disappeared completely by 0314. This is one of the strangest signals on the SW
bands. (9 Sept.)
AUSTRALIA 4910 ABC Tennant Creek 1001 on here this morning not switching
over to the 120mb channel. End of Pop song and M anncr w/song anmnt. Request
phone number. 1028 ment of nx coming up, pgm previews and goodbyes 1029,
canned promo, 1030 fanfare and ABC nx ID by W and said nx. ABC Local R. ID
promo at end of nx at 1035. (9 Sept.)
PERU 5023.94 R. Quillabamba (tent.) Getting the carrier here at 1008. I
could hear a M tlking at 1011 when I notched out Rebelde but there was way too
much splatter QRM. (9 Sept.)
AUSTRALIA 2485 ABC Katherine 1015 end of Pop song and M DJ host w/song
anmt and phone number again, //4910, and 4835. (9 Sept.)
MICRONESIA 4755.5 The Cross 1027 "The Cross R." ID w/pgm name. Decent
signal but really noisy. (9 Sept.)
PAPUA NEW GUINEA 3384.994 NBC East New Britain Found a little bit low at
1046 w/W anncr in native dialect. (9 Sept.)
PAPUA NEW GUINEA 3364.983 NBC Milne Bay Also off freq at 1047.
Bougainville was right on 3325, but Madang was on 3264.995. (9 Sept.)
AUSTRALIA 2368.48 I see a signal on this freq at 1050, probably Symban, but
way to weak. (9 Sept.)
BELARUS 11730 R. Belarus 2100 nice signal today with audio a little
stronger than usual. 2100 ID by M in EG then feature. The speed of the tlking
seemed fast. Faulty tape machine?? 2109-2111 contact info and sked anmnts.
Abt 100% copy. (9 Sept.)
BRAZIL 4875.51v R. Difusora Roraima (reactivated) 0037 anmnt but couldn't
copy, Reggae-like ZY Pops. Signal came up well at 0042. 0044 couple words and
another song. 0048 short canned anmnt, then live M DJ in PT. Back to mx at
0052. Caught the full ID w/freqs at 0106. At times when the signal would
peak, it didn't seem as distorted. Was up tas high as 4875.65. Some QRM from
occas. UTE bursts just below. (10 Sept.)
SRI LANKA 11905 SLBC 0131 ID and website. (10 Sept.)
CHINA 7315 CNR1 1036 while watching the band, I saw a signal pop on here
for about 10 seconds, tuned in immediately and hrd M tlking in CH. Checked
other freqs and it seemed // to CNR1. Was just here for that short period of
time not to return. (10 Sept.)
AUSTRALIA 4910 ABC Tennant Creek 1028 here again this moring, failing to
switch over. Good signal. (10 Sept.)
MAYNMAR 6165 Thazin R. 1104 mixing with and audible w/usual SE Asian Pops
slightly under CNR6. (10 Sept.)
MYANMAR 5915 Myanmar R. 1145 tlk by W in Burmese definitely not //
5985.78 which also had a W tlking but at much higher-pitch. 5985.78 went into
mx at 1146 while tlking continued on 5915. 5985.78 much clearer and a bit
stronger than 5915 which was getting splattered by 5910. (10 Sept.)
SOUTH KOREA 9570 KBS World R. 1156 usual oriental IS w/IDs by M. (10
Sept.)
BANGLADESH 15105 Bangladesh Betar 1231 opening EG anmnt w/pgm rundown by
W, usual subcont. mx intro and M w/nx. Best heard in quite some time. (10
Sept.)
TAIWAN 7379.94 Sound of Hope Signal of CNR1 on 7280 was already on at
1054 when I tuned in. Then the Sound of Hope signal came on. At 1055 the CNR1
signal increased in power. At 1100 exactly, both stns started pgming. The low
60 hz het was audible. (10 Sept.)
BRAZIL 6104.75v R. Filadelfia Signal came on at 0952 and drifted down as
usual. Getting some audio at 0955 w/ZY Pops, brief canned jingle at 0956 and
more mx. But there was fading and there was just too much CNR1 QRM. (11 Sept.)
CHINA 6105 CNR1 While passing through, I noticed there was EG at 0950. I
quickly calibrated the Perseus, came back, and there was no audio. Just an OC.
Maybe they pumped in EG pgming to test the audio prior to 1000 s/on. At 1004,
I did hear a long sound bite of speech by W in EG seemingly abt China and human
rights. Maybe they played this soundbite at 0950 for a test of the audio. (11
Sept.)
SURINAM 4989.99 R. Apintie 0858 drum IS, then instru. NA, what sounded
like a long ad in Sranan Tongo by M, then lively instru. Jazz mx w/voice-over
opening anmnts by live studio M DJ including a nice ID w/Paramaribo QTH and
ment of FM stereo at 0900:35 and cont. tlk. Jingle by W and into usual MOR
instru. mx they play every morning. Surprised this was coming in steady as it
was quite fady just a half hour earlier. Best heard in a while. (12 Sept.)
PERU 4789.88 R. Vision 0923:05 nice clear strong short ID by M. 0925:40
ID promo by M between songs, then another ID by diff. M at 0928:10. Playing "El
Condor Pasa" at 0929:15 then into intro for "La Voz Salvacion" pgm w/ment of
preacher host Francisco Codoba Rodriguez. Stronger than usual this morning.
(12 Sept.)
UNID. 4709.99 UNID. Canned anmnt at 0947:30 but couldn't copy anything,
then 0950 slow Ranchera song. Only a rare peak when it was audible. Not
strong enough over ToH. (12 Sept.)
PERU 4747.09 R. Huanta Dos Mil Signal popped on at 1012:40 w/morning nx
pgm w/M host already in progress. Ments of Huanta. Was hoping it would be on
no later than 1000 with a good signal but alas not to be. (12 Sept.)
PERU 4774.91 R. Tarma Signal came on at 0954:26, then the xmsn started at
1000:24 w/canned "Buenas dias Peru" and s/on ID anmnt w/freqs and website by M
over OA instru. mx. Fairly good. (12 Sept.)
INDONESIA 4869.92 RRI Wamena 1112:25 - 1114 M w/at least 6 site IDs,
speech soundbite, then M again 1116:30 - 1118 w/at least 5 more IDs. (12 Sept.)
CHINA 4920 Xizang PBS 2346 M tlk in pres. Tibetan. Definite M tlk on
6200 sounded //. Also found //6025 at 2355 which was good. (12 Sept.)
PERU 4747.09 R. Huanta Signal popped on at 091003:00 nice ID by M as "R.
Huanta AM" and "R. Huanta". 1008:30 possible Huanta Dos Mil ID. (13 Sept.)
UNID. 4755 had a signal here hetting against The Cross just after 1000. By
1012 it was just about gone. (13 Sept.)
PAPUA NEW GUINEA 3385 NBC East New Britain 1104 outstanding signal w/nx by
M in Tok Pisin. Nearly 100% copy. 1109:20 NBC East New Britain ID and
credits, then more nx. Peaking at t/in and fading quickly after. (13 Sept.)
INDONESIA 4749.953 RRI Makassar (pres.) 1121 end of mx and then tlk by W
in what sounded like IN. M anncr later at 1128, and back to mx at 1130.
Getting a het from 4750.0. (13 Sept.)
BRAZIL 9645.41 R. Banderiantes Simple "Bandeirantes" ID by M after time
ticks at 2300 ToH, another ID at 2301:35. Full ID w/freqs by M at 2302:20.
Fairly good and clear at this time. Finally got the full ID. (13 Sept.)
BRAZIL 9665.69 Voz Missionaria 0014 C&W style rel. EG mx, then into a
tropical LA-like song. Way up on this freq now. Good signal. (14 Sept.)
**********************************************
14 SEPTEMBER 2013: After turning on the Perseus at home and noticing a nice
signal from R. Vision and a fairly steady signal from 4709.99, decided to try a
micro-DXpedition to this new site. I wasn't thrilled about the location as
it's on the stripcut and slants slightly downhill, but laying out the BOG along
the road would be easy and it was in direct line for eastern Asia and the
Andes. Conditions just seemed horrible in general. What looked like a
promising LA morning before I left turned out to be awful at the stripcut.
Another disappointment was that 4910 ABC had switched over. 31mb was also very
poor. 9680 RRI was really weak. The Myanmar freqs were a bust. At least the
90mb PNGs did come up to a decent level for about a half hour. That was the
only bright spot of the trip.
RX: Microtelecom Perseus SDR with ARR preamp.
ANT: 315' Beverage (BOG) at 352?
QTH: Reclaimed stripmine
Duration: 0950-1140 UTC
Solar Indices: Solar Flux = 92 A Index = 9 K Index = 1 No storms. X-Ray
Flux was A7.
WX: Rising fog and low clouds. About 42? F.
PERU 4747.09 R. Huanta Was just on the edge of noise. Could barely make
out talk by M at 1002. (14 Sept.)
UNID. 3345 NBC Popondetta?? Definite tlk by W anncr at 1003, sounded like
Tok Pisin. When I returned at 1006, it was gone. Other PNGs starting to come
in at the same time. Was just a little weaker than ENB. (14 Sept.)
SOLOMON ISLANDS 5019.88 SIBC Playing "Night Fever" by the Bee Gees amid
the Rebelde slop at 1036. "Its a Heartache" by Bonnie Tyler at 1123. (14
Sept.)
UNID. 3320 A bit of a signal here at 1042. No doubt North Korea. (14
Sept.)
PAPUA NEW GUINEA 3325 NBC Bougainville 1050 live choral rel. song. 1055
soft spoken M anncr w/ment of night, nx, and programs. 1057 into lively island
mx. 1101 really bassy canned anmnt, another canned anmnt, same live M DJ
again, 1102 brief mx filler, then 1103 TC and live M again to 1107 and Pop mx.
1115 M DJ gave the chart position of the song just played. Getting some CHU
slop from :30-:40 each minute. Strength about on par w/Milne Bay. (14 Sept.)
PAPUA NEW GUINEA 3384.995 NBC East New Britain 1055 tlk by M in Tok Pisin
w/ments of family, and diff. M thanking him at 1057. Skeds of something at
1101 w/dates and times, and phone number given. Ment of East New Britain.
1102-1106 ad/promo block, then live studio M DJ, and into Reggae island song.
1114 same M DJ w/end of anmnt giving TC, and back to mx. Deadair after song at
1118, then ad block including one w/ment of Independence Day long weekend, and
a couple giving phone numbers and ment of Rabaul. 1122 M DJ w/PSA and ment of
NBC and contact number. Good but getting some computer noise from above. (14
Sept.)
PAPUA NEW GUINEA 3364.984 NBC Milne Bay 1055 tlk by M, possibly rel. pgm.
1058 M anncr w/outro and rel. choral mx. 1100 M returned over the choral mx
w/TC and anmnt. 1101 Dance Pop mx. 1105 studio W DJ tlk w/ment of
transmission and holiday, then more Pop mx. 1110 jingle w/something like "we
got the power". 1114 W DJ again and a few canned anmnts ending w/jingle by
very deep-voiced M, and back to Dance mx. 1121 W DJ again, then ads. (14
Sept.)
PAPUA NEW GUINEA 3260 NBC Madang 1050-1122+ live remote from event of
some sort w/tlk by M and W in Tok Pisin, and occas. native mx. 1050 ment of
"...government long Papua New Guinea...", town, Madang, celebration,
anniversary, province. 1115 ment of Madang by W, later Highlands by M. Seemed
to peak around 1110-1115 and quickly faded. (14 Sept.)
INDIA 4970.006 AIR Shillong 1130-1140 was rock steady on this freq. (14
Sept.)
**************************************
ZANZIBAR 11735 ZBC 1751 usual W anncr at recording start, then Afro
Hi-life mx to W anncr with a few words and drum IS at 1759. 5 slow ending w/1
long tick, then M w/8 min. EG nx. ID during nx quickly at 1805:30 as "This
news comes to you from ZBC". Ended the nx w/his name given, then W anncr
returned at 1808-1811 and did hear 1 ment of Zanzibar, and back to mx.
Pleasant Hi-life mx at 2058, then AR mx at 2059 briefly and W anncr voice-over
ending w/ment of "Spice FM", then into jingle w/siren-like SFX and M anncr but
immediately cut off at 2101. Kind of surprised to hear what little EG I could.
(14 Sept.)
PIRATE (EUROPE) 6304.8 R. Wilskracht Pop mx at 2300 t/in. Prob. canned
deep-voiced M anncr at 2304:00 but couldn't copy. Guys in the chat IDed as
Wilskracht. 2307:40 live anmnt by M but couldn't copy. Too fady, too much
noise, and just too weak to copy or recognize songs. Thought it might be
Paardenkracht w/slightly diff. name but the anncr certainly didn't sound the
same. (14 Sept.)
BRAZIL 6135 R. Aparecida 0918 TC by M between ZY Pops, //11855.09 which
was better. This freq QRMed by R. Santa Cruz of course. 0921 M anncr again
briefly and jingle ID. (15 Sept.)

** AUSTRALIA [and non]. 2325 kHz, Sept 15 at 1156, JBA carrier back here from
VL8T, and no signal on 4910 where it had stayed for a few nights; Harold
Sellers, BC, first noted 2325 resumed yesterday when I did not check. I see
that today`s Aoki dated Sept 15 at 1200 has already deleted 2325. Now, put it
back.
VL8A still on 4835 as usual, after 4840 WWCR is off clear at 1212 but with OTH
radar pulse QRM, from China? And still nothing on 4910 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** BANGLADESH. 15505, Sept 15 at 1357, BB very poor with tone, 1358 IS, 1359:48
timesignal ends, opening Urdu. (Since I am criticizing stations for inaccurate
TS, I make sure frequently to compare to WWV) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** BOLIVIA [and non]. 4717-, Sept 15 at 0052, Yura is missing again, sign-off
earlier Saturday night? Yet various 60m S American frequencies provide at least
JBA carriers, such as 4747, 4775 (two as usual), and many others (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL [and non]. 11855, Sept 15 at 0101, must have missed ID with affiliate
list, but R. Aparecida is now resuming flagship show for its missionaries,
``Com a M?e Aparecida``, on good signal from new transmitter, much better than
11815 RBC. // 9630 is totally blocked by QRDRM, and 5035 is never more than a
JBA carrier in sideband of 5040 Cuba, but Aparecida`s fourth frequency is 6135.
As also yesterday at same time, there is a big het at 0101 Sept 15 upon always
stronger off-frequency 6134.8, R. Santa Cruz, Bolivia; this being Saturday
night, RSC closes down early and recheck at 0108 it`s already gone, clearing
6135 for Aparecida`s old transmitter, obviously same programming as on 11855,
unison prayer to the M?e. Now 6135 is only bothered by TADIL-A bonker on the lo
side (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CAMBODIA [non]. 13845, Sept 15 at 1228, weak WWCR unimpeded with weak DGS,
but *1229 carrier comes on producing SAH, 1230 too weak to copy; but by 1323
check RFA Khmer hour via SRI LANKA is about equal to WWCR (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHAD. 6165-, Sept 15 at 0056, soft music, small group singing with
guitar(?), undermodulated. Style sounds almost Brazilian, but surely it`s RNT
again on all-night schedule; 0100 now African song, 0101 Informations in
French; 0105 now unseems French, hilife music, 0106 announcement, no ID heard,
still going past 0107 as Cuba still hasn`t come on. Tnx a lot, Arnie! (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA [and non]. Firedrake, Sept 15 after 1200:
7470, very poor at 1217, het and mix with something else, unclear if target or
CNR1 jamming too.
It`s Sunday night, so CNR1 program is western classical music, during the 12 UT
hour a great violin concerto, via countless frequencies, jammers or not, on the
6, 7, 9, 11 MHz bands.
9660 is one that strikes me as unheard before, at 1330 more classical music
with CCI; but it`s in Aoki due to RTI in Chinese at 10-14, 23-03
CNR1 jammers before 1400 Sept 15:
none in the 12s or 13s at 1350 after more classical music, now talk
14700, good at 1352
14800, very good at 1352
15115, good with heavy CCI at 1353
15195, fair at 1353 with noise jamming added
15265, poor at 1353
15540, poor at 1354 with het
15570, fair with flutter at 1354; none in the 16s, 17s, 18s
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 17720, Sept 14 at 1940, RHC French is back here on scheduled
frequency, after straying/jumping to 17730, 48 hours earlier. Really makes
little difference on the underused 16m band, as nothing else is scheduled on
these or adjacents, except maybe Spain on 17715, per Aoki supposedly adding
-2200* on weekends only instead of -1900* weekdays; but Cuba went to 17730 on a
Thursday.
5990, Sept 15 at 0054, CRI relay in Spanish with usual VG strength, but big
buzz atop the modulation of this transmitter cuts on and off more than once per
second, extremely annoying. This also adds QRM to adjacents as far as 5980;
fortunately off in time for a Chaski-check, see Per? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** GUAM. 5765, Sept 15 at 1214, still RTTY only and no sign of AFN programming,
despite AFRTS HQ LA belief that Guam is still going (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** HAWAII. 2863-USB, Sept 15 at 1206, VOLMET for various Hawaiian, Pacific and
Californian airports, except they are all ``no report received``! So KVM70
Honolulu is like New York Radio running unattended. Obviously the problem is at
the station rather than the far-flung airports. There are however, some
coordinates given for presumed lows/tropical depressions if not hurricanes
before stopping at 1209. Per http://www.dxinfocentre.com/volmet.htm Honolulu
VOLMET runs at 25-40 past the hours and 55-70, alternating with Tokyo, Hong
Kong and Auckland, but still no Tokyo audible at 1210, as Honolulu was barely
audible in noise level (and still no sign of 2850 North Korea yet) (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDIA. 11985, Sept 15 at 0057, S Asian song with flutter, as AIR continues
to operate confusingly from one day to the next, as recently heard with tone
around this time, or IS, and opening presumed Sinhala service at 0100 instead
of scheduled 0045. I guess it started on time today.
Maybe the anomaly was really caused by wrong program feed input. Checking the
schedule, there is one other language service supposed to start at 0100 on
other frequencies: Sindhi, 5990 via same site Delhi(Khampur) which I have DXed
previously, 7370 via Delhi(Kingsway), 9635 via Bengaluru, all per Aoki, so need
to compare with those, altho 5990 has not been audible recently as I am waiting
for Cuba to cut off for 5980 Chaski-chex (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. 9526-, Sunday Sept 15 at 1332, VOI best heard in some time,
almost readable but still insufficient, fair signal and good modulation in
music with flutter, and 1334 introducing `Listeners` Mailbox` which she says
will also comply with music requests (but I am distracted by NPR WESUN via KOSU
with item on future-less languages such as Chinese and Finnish, which has a
positive effect on people`s outlooks) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO [and non]. 800, Sept 15 at 1149 UT, big slow SAH between XEROK and
KQCV OKC, 50 per minute equals 5/6 of one Hz separation (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** MICRONESIA. 4755+, Sept 15 at 1157, PMA The Cross with much better reception
than usual carrier, some music audible, presumably hymn, and I can also hear
the 4 DTMF tones ordering the transmitter to cut off at 1158:09* (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NETHERLANDS [non]. 7375, Sept 15 0051, no signal from The Mighty KBC via
Nauen, Germany, scheduled UT Sundays only 0000-0200 (nor on former summer
frequency 9925). What happened? Instead only Cuban pulse jamming bleeding over
from 7365. Still nothing at 0107 on 7375. Did not check at exactly 0130, when
Kim Elliott was still expecting his Radiogram to air, per earlier notice Sept
14; did it?:
``The Mighty KBC, based in the Netherlands but using a transmitter in Germany,
will transmit a minute of MFSK32 as follows: Saturday, 14 Sept 2013 (today) at
about 1130 UTC on 6095 kHz; Sunday, 15 Sept 2013 at about 0130 UTC on 7375 kHz
(Saturday 9:30 pm EDT)`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PAPUA NEW GUINEA. NBC 90m survey Sept 15:
3260, Madang at 1159 with different music than on 3385, 1201 sounds like some
bird-chirps repeated, from program or ute QRM?? 1203 seems like news, 1204
choral music, 1205* cut-off. This was strongest.
3385, Rabaul at 1158 with song until 1200:05* approx. cut-off.
3365, much weaker carrier at 1159; 3325 also, more likely RRI (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PERU. 5980, Sept 15 at 0055, JBA carrier from R. Chaski, amid splash worse
than usual from 5990 China via Cuba [q.v.] plus noise blasts, but that is off
by 0100 so I can easily time Chaski cutoff at 0104:12.5*. Something strange
happens I have never noticed before in countless Chaski-chex all this year:
before going all the way off there is a noise burst from the transmitter of
about one second; and the noise goes on and off again for about another second
at *0104:15.5-0104:16.5*. Yesterday`s clean cutoff was at 0104:07* so the first
time above fits as 5.5 seconds later (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1686 monitoring: confirmed on WTWW-2, 9930 Saturday
Sept 14 starting very close to 2330. Also on WTWW-1, 5830, UT Sunday Sept 15
starting at 0400:46, after WTWW ID at hourtop mixing with SFAW audio which
continued until WOR and resumed immediately afterward (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. TP carrier search Sept 15 at 1141-1145 UT finds some JBAs on 747,
774, 828, 972, 1053. I really have no doubt that the first three are NHK JAPAN,
and little doubt that the other two are KOREA SOUTH (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

9835 RTM Sarawak on 14th was relaying Nasional FM and only for that day .
Reasons
ar unknown to me . The signal that day was quite good with program
consisting
mostly with talks and information (times 1800 and 1900 )Most interesting was
the
stations motto sentiasa di hati (always in your heart )
FM :
88 FM is the main freq of second program of ERA . and is vacant since the
sudden
closure from the government last June . About one month ago a local pirate
called
Iparho FM (I exist )used this frequency . I have herd him two times , on 13th
and
14th with quite poor signal , 6db out of 30db of most commercial stations on
the
band . From a communication with him , he uses about 300 watt of power and can
be
heard in a range of 4 km inside the city , including my QTH in Retziki. His
program
is based on old greek songs some political views but also on listeners input
.
But on 14rth there was a QRM from unknown station , A listener told him
that the
station was from leftists/anarchists and he stopped transmitting
Some listening on the QRMer revealed that actually was from ERA
Thessaloniki (who
are now as clandestine station ) .
