9545 18/Jan 0818-0900 SALOMON ISLANDS, Salomon Islands BC in English. Music
with accentuated sound of drums. At 0823 OM talk, At
0826 pop music. At 0829 OM talk. At 0832 sudden improvement of the signal. At
0844 the signal begins to degrade. Until 0859 OM goes
on talking. Weak signal. At 0900 strong QRM from CNR1 jammer on 9540. (Jorge
Freitas-B) Note the improved of signal from the 08:00

** CUBA. 4765, Jan 18 at 0114, R. Progreso open carrier is already on prior to
0130-0500 broadcast. Why don`t they run it much longer? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 5025, Jan 17 at 2305, Rebelde music with SAH of about 4 Hz until it
stops at 2306*. Can`t be Quillabamba which is too weak and too far
off-frequency. Most likely a second Cuban transmitter for some reason (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 6165, Jan 18 at 0101, no RHC English, just hash; it`s on by next check
0134 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** DIEGO GARCIA. 12759-USB, Jan 18 at 0112, AFN is barely audible with music,
but unseems rock; 0131 talk in English. I figured it might make it since India
and Sri Lanka were in on 25m; not audible checked before 0100, probably before
switching from 4319-USB (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ETHIOPIA [non]. 17850, Jan 18 at 1559, waiting for Oromo Voice to come on
this Saturday: carrier finally on at *1600:14, and lo-fi Oromo sign-on starts
at 1600:25. VG signal strength via Issoudun, FRANCE, 100 kW, 130 degrees per
Aoki. It`s over at 1630 but carrier stays on past 1638. EiBi has a strange
language abbr. for this entry, BNA. His key says ``BNA Borana Oromo/Afan Oromo:
Ethiopia (4m) [gax]``, the last being a supposed German version of the name.
It`s prime clandestine time on 16m: see also ETHIOPIA [non]. 17630, and
UNIDENTIFIED: 17870 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ETHIOPIA [non]. 17630, Sat Jan 18 at 1605, very rapid speech in unknown
African language, axually about half-and-half singing and speaking. 1623, less
singing, but with applause; 1627 bit of Horn of Africish music, 1629
announcement and some more music until 1630:05*. Aoki shows this is R. Xoriyo
Ogaden, Tue & Sat only in Somali at 1630, also via Issoudun, FRANCE, 500 kW,
130 degrees (even tho it`s in Somali, target is part of ETHIOPIA, as in WRTH).
This is the one with a split service. On Mon & Fri at the same hour, it`s on
17870 with 50 kW, 195 degrees from Bulgaria. But today Saturday I am also
hearing something unID, q.v. on 17870 at same time, but not // (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GREECE. 9420 // weaker 7450, Jan 17 at 2147, Helliniki Radiophonia lite jazz
music adding YL vocal, seems really in Greek now (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDIA. 11985, Jan 18 at 0056, AIR Sinhala service via Delhi-Khampur site is
again a loss: open carrier, almost as strong at 11740 GOA which is evidently
really speaking Sinhala, both poor with flutter. 0102 maybe 11985 is JBM? 0114
maybe too, while 11740 is already off (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KOREA NORTH [non]. 5985, Jan 18 at 1330, het and a bit of audio from
Shiokaze opening in Japanese or Korean, vs Myanmar off-frequency. Ron Howard
says they did resume English this Friday (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KOREA NORTH [non]. 9775, Jan 18 at 1358, R. Free Chosun still with same
pr?lude medley in English, now playing ``At 17``. Usual good signal equivalent
to 9800 VOA Korean via Philippines.
A few months ago, Wolfgang B?schel found a temporary registration for 9775 as
WRN via Palauig, Philippines. I also found that one of the three Radio Veritas
Asia transmitters was unaccounted for, after 1400, as RVA programming is using
only two. It appears that RVA does have a transmitter for hire, even to
non-Catholic broadcasters. I`ve asked Radio Veritas Asia tech department if
9775 is their transmitter, but no reply yet.
We do know that WRN does have a deal with Radio Veritas Asia, as I am informed
thus about Radio Free Sarawak: ``15420 is currently from Palauig, Philippines.
They took a Christmas-NY break and resumed on Jan 6.`` Presumably still at
1100-1230 UT, when it was seldom audible here. Today`s Aoki still has this
sesquihour as via Paochung, Taiwan, whence it may have been previously (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 6185, Jan 18 at 1636, the OSOB is a JBA carrier here, suspected R.
Educaci?n active in daytime (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 88.3, Jan 17 circa 2030 UT, K202BY, Enid, the Family Radio
satellator of KEAR-FM Sacramento CA, is very out of order again, cutting off
and on the air at the rate of 198 times per minute. Jan 18 at 0136 UT, now it`s
slowed down to a regular dropoff amounting to 32 times per minute, except some
of the drops are missed. What a waste, whether it`s off or on (Glenn Hauser,
Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 90.1, KCSC-FM Edmond, our only FM source for classical music since
it was banned by KOSU, reception has generally declined such that I wonder if
they are on reduced power? It`s always been iffy in Enid vs Radio Kansas
co-channel, but KCSC used to be a bit stronger on the average. Now there are
times I can barely hear it at all, on car or household radios, even if KHCC is
not capturing. We desperately need a translator in Enid. Why does much smaller
McAlester in SE OK merit a KCSC non-translator relay (KBCW 91.9)? Because they
have a benefactor there (Glenn Hauser, Enid, Jan 17, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PERU. 5980, Jan 18 at 0056, R. Chaski carrier with some modulation in the
5990 CRI/Cuba splash, until cutoff at 0103:51.5* which is 11.5 seconds later
than last check 48 hours earlier (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SRI LANKA. 11905, Jan 18 at 0114, SLBC with open carrier; music starts at
0114:50, 3-pip timesignal 11 seconds late to 0115:11; sign-on in Hindi with
modulation suppressed and distorted; maybe was bad recording as at 0133 check
now the modulation is OK on music and announcement. Good signal with flutter
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 7730, Fri Jan 17 at 2140, usual VP WOOB signal from WRMI on this beam
90 degrees away from us but 44 degrees toward Europe, during the 21-22 UT
``extra RMI`` programming separate from 9955. Today it`s in Spanish, evidently
a DX program; 2142 mentions Radio Cruz; 2146 M&W are alternating giving some
times and frequencies; her voice is more readable; 2155 mentions production at
LS11 in Provincia de Buenos Aires, Argentina, then fill with vocal tango, maybe
Gardel? No further outro, 2159.5 YFR theme and ID voiced by Keith Perron, but
without giving his celebrity name; to carrier off at 2200:09*.
(Remember that WRMI is testing R. Taiw?n Internacional relay in Spanish on
7730, this UT Sun & Mon at 0300-0400, presumably toward the west. Sufficient
reports required to justify resuming it.)
[No se olviden de que WRMI est? con pruebas por Radio Taiw?n Internacional en
7730, las noches de s?bado y domingo, d?as Universales domingo y lunes, entre
03 y 04 TU, hacia el oeste. Hay que ganar respuestas, informes de recepci?n
suficientes para justificar reanudar este servicio, antes via F?mily Radio.]
9495, UT Sat Jan 18 at 0055, I`m hearing the same program as on 7730 earlier;
much better reception now aimed south. So probably the 00-01 UT hour on 9495 is
a repeat of whatever was on 7730 at 21-22 the previous UT day. Mentions La Voz
de Croacia; and this time it`s clearly `La Rosa de Tokio` hour-long historical
DX program, which is indeed produced at LS11, 1270 kHz.
It seems the programming for these two hours is flexible, with no schedule on
the web other than for 9955. The past two weeks, WORLD OF RADIO has been
appearing Sat 2130 on 7730, UT Sun 0030 on 9495 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A. 5110v-CUSB, UT Sat Jan 18 at 0059, WBCQ with Brother Scare already,
but it`s time for `Allan Weiner Worldwide`. Checking the other frequencies at
0100, 7490 has Allan ``testing 1-2-1-2`` bringing up his feed from snowbirdy
Florida a bit too early; 0100:27 start ``William Tell Overture`` theme; quick
retune to 9330 finds OCDA with hum, until it starts the WTO about 27 seconds
later; by now 5110 is also with AWWW for the hour featuring co-host Mal on the
phone (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 3215, Jan 18 at 0111, I notice that the WWRB carrier is wobbling a
bit, during country hymn, while 3185 is steady with BS (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic MW carrier search provoked, once I hear the Saudi
1521 het upon much closer 1520 KOKC, Jan 18 at 0113 UT. In next few minutes,
carriers also audible on: 1503, 1422, 1296, 1215, 1152, 1125, 1053, 1044, 909,
891, 882, 684, 666. Strongest was 1215, presumably UK as some of the others too
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 4985, Jan 17 at 2309 and still Jan 18 at 0059 check, heavy RTTY
is back here blocking broadcasters, after a few days off. Hope people got them
while the getting was good (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 6926 or so, Jan 17 at 2312, heavy music on SSB, but hard to tune
properly with no carrier. Closest thing to a pirate log in over a week here,
not much activity noted evenings on the 43-metre band. This thread agrees it
was Radio Ga Ga on 6925.1-USB:
http://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,14976.0.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 9690, Jan 17 at 2153-2200+ open carrier; good signal, figure it`s
WRMI losing modulation from Brother Scare who is bloviating on 9955 and 11825;
until check of schedule showing 9690 ending at 2100. Still could be WRMI
transmitter still/again on for some reason, as recently had additional BS
broadcast starting at 2200. Per Aoki, only thing else scheduled is RAE,
Argentina at 17-24 weekdays to Europe, but I seriously doubt its 9690 is really
on the air, as never heard or reported, unlike // 15345v. If 9690 is on, it`s
not reaching much beyond S America (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 17870, Sat Jan 18 at 1603, somewhat weaker than 17850 Oromo
Voice, another African language (with VOA Radiogram intervening on 17860),
assumed I could look it up later, but nothing fits exactly. Continued on past
1630, unlike 17850 and 17630 stations; see ETHIOPIA.
If this were Friday instead of Saturday, 17870 could be list-logged as R.
Xoriyo Ogaden, 50 kW, 195 degrees via Bulgaria, 1600-1630 Mon & Fri in Somali,
per Aoki. Also if it were M-F, the station after 1630 would be BBC
Kinyarwanda/Kirundi, 100 kW, 7 degrees via SOUTH AFRICA. Maybe one or the other
has changed schedule or expanded. BBC typically does this on weekends
especially if there is an important sports event (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
