BRAZIL. 5999.608, March 12 at 0105, het is back to RHC English 6000,
carrier like we were hearing in late Feb, the Bras?lia transmitter // 6180
(but can`t confirm that now), which is also allegedly testing in DRM in the
local mornings from 5990.
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
BRAZIL. 9665+, March 12 at 0111, poor Portuguese with SAH or
propagational fading, i.e. R. Voz Mission?ria, now much closer to nominal,
but still slightly on the hi side.
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
CUBA. 6060, March 11 at 0101, RHC English modulation is cutting out, very
bad.
5025 & 5040, March 11 at 0603, both Rebelde and RHC are off already; is this
to be SOP for spring? You never know with RadioCuba. More and more
anomalies!
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
TAIWAN [non]. 7730, March 12 at 0125-0140, NO signal from WRMI for
publicized PCJ Radio International special fifth anniversary broadcast. All
the publicity said it would be at this date and time, followed by 1330-1430
UT March 12 on four other frequencies from three other sites; but Jeff White
and Keith Perron soon confirm the correct UT date for the 0130-0230 UT
special is really tomorrow, March 13 = Wednesday night in North America. At
1330, we might also get 15720 from Madagascar (recently heard at 1430 with
NHK Hindi way off-beam), or even 15455 from Germany; also on 5995 from
Germany and 9335 from Sri Lanka (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BRAZIL [and non]. 5999.6, March 12 at 0601, still het on lo side of strong
RHC English. Checking out my earlier log putting it on 5999.608 by indirect
keyboard note method, Wolfgang B?schel measured it on 5999.603, within 5 Hz,
not bad, an hour give or take from 0700 UT March 12, including a R. Nacional ID
and // 6180.006, 11780.003, so reconfirms it`s not R. Gua?ba on 6000 as in many
outdated references (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [and non]. 5980, March 12 at 0601, wall-of-noise jamming already, altho
I don`t think R. Mart? has started signing on this frequency an hour earlier
than the usual 0700; anyhow I cannot detect it. DentroCuban Jamming Command
apparently thinx it`s already on, or are just confused about DST shifting. A
few days ago, I noticed there was no jamming after 1200 when RM was still
running until 1300.
15230, March 12 at 1304, RHC is just-barely-modulated as often the case on this
transmitter; why do they even bother?
11760, March 12 at 1317, RHC again absent, just as well, leaving the frequency
to the China radio war, which is plenty strong.
11750, March 12 at 1317, however, RHC has good signal and modulation here, much
better than usual. Wonder if they have moved the 11760 transmitter down, as
would be prudent. However, by 1412, 11750 is again JBM with CCI, while 11760 is
still VG in Chinese, but only one signal audible (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDIA. 15040, March 12 at 1306, very poor signal but nice music, i.e. AIR
Burmese service until 1315; tight squeeze with AIR Sinhala in DRM already
running on 15045-15050-15055 from same Delhi-Khampur site; and Trenton Military
USB VOLMET on 15034 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** IRAN. 11675, March 12 at 1421, VIRI IS fair with flutter but cuts off at
1422, leaving a very poor signal with more VIRI IS: 1420 is the nominal
changeover time from Urdu via Kamalabad, to Russian via Sirjan on 11675. The
strange thing is, Russian on 320 beam should be much better toward N America,
than Urdu on 178 beam; perhaps a clue that these are really arriving longpath
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KOREA NORTH [non]. 9775, March 12 at 1415, R. Free Chosun in Korean
modulation is not breaking up this time, and is somewhat louder than the
annoying continuous humbuzz. R. Veritas Asia better get this Palauig
transmitter fixed, or RFC will have to go somewhere else like Taiwan or
Uzbekistan (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KOREA SOUTH. 15575, March 12 at 1303, checking whether KBSWR English is
audible this early: very poor with flutter, unusable (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** ROMANIA. 17765, March 12 at 1252, RRI English with good signal but deep
fades, presenting a Moldavian soup recipe; and even better on // 17530 as would
be expected from 165 and 307 azimuths respectively. The hour broadcast is about
to end, but now propagating this far west before it`s over. From March 30, this
and all RRI outsendings will change frequencies and shift one UT hour earlier
due to DST in Europe, which ought to be irrelevant for international
broadcasts, and again become more iffy out here (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 9370, March 12 at 1419, huge humbuzz and no Brother
Scare from WWRB; wiggle that patchcord? We`ll have to struggle along with BS
only on 9930, 9955 and 9980 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TAIWAN. 9735, March 12 at 1417, Indonesian from RTI is good but with SAH
atop some CCI, whence? Possibly receiver overload from Brother Scare, as Aoki
and EiBi have nothing but RTI at any time on 9735; while HFCC can`t include
Taiwan, banned by the ChiCom, but does have Moscow and Lithuania at other
hours, both wooden? Per Aoki, RTI alternates Japanese and Indonesian hours from
11 to 15, also alternating azimuths of 45 and 205/208 degrees; so the Japanese
service is normally much better here (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TAIWAN [non]. 15720, Wed March 12 at *1327, good open carrier from
MADAGASCAR, back off, *1329 back on, and 1330 opening PCJ Radio International
special fifth anniversary show. Keith Perron mentions only this frequency, so
must be separate playout, with the ones from Germany and Sri Lanka mentioning
only their frequencies (15455, 9335, 5995 inaudible here). Fair signal to
start, tho intended only for Africa, deep fades and weakening to poor, so I
give up by 1340; first hearing Bob Zanotti of SIS with greeting; then one from
Timm Breyel in Malaysia. I was hoping to hear it all this morning, since I am
usually busy Wednesday evenings producing World of Radio when the North America
repeat at 0130-0230 is to air UT Thursday via WRMI 7730 (not 24 hours earlier
as previously publicized). I`ll probably wind up listening to an audio archive
rather than direct on SW (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U K. [re my 11253 log:] ``My 2008 copy of Airwaves lists both 11253 and 5450
as Volmet - Europe - Royal Air Force, and the last listing I saw for the actual
location is RAF St. Eval in Cornwall. Put that in Google and you'll see lot's
of detail and pictures of masts etc..
I don't think I'd hear Ascension as well as I hear these two frequencies at
1200 UT. The robo lady has been slowed down from what it was previously, but
there is still some garbling, and interruption before the item being read is
finished. The ID is "Military Time-slot (number) Information Broadcast", and
robo lady has reached number 5 as I type this. Noel R. Green (NW England)``
1230 UT March 12 (Glenn Hauser, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 5202-SSB, Wed March 12 at 1325, Army MARS net with a guy lecturing,
referencing various charts including #9; about how to protect FOUO info on PCs,
like by changing passwords. That means for-official-use-only, in DODese, and by
other government agencies, a level below classification (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1711 monitoring: confirmed on WRMI 9955, Wednesday
March 12 at one-hour-earlier shifted time of 1300, following gh ID, which
followed another generic Scoreboard promo rather than any axual scores; which
followed AWR Wavescan concluding with hard-to-understand Philippine DX report
and some music from R. Tirana.
>From tune-in at 1255 I heard no overlap of WRMI-10 and WRMI-11, and with VG
>signal suspect WRMI-11 on the NW antenna had already started earlier, which is
>fine with us. However, after 1300 some very weak CCI under detectable, tho
>nothing known scheduled during this hour, neither RFA nor ChiCom jamming nor
>T8WH nor Taiwan. WOR 1712 should be ready for 9955 by 1230 UT Thursday, if not
>0330 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 5830, March 12 at 0603, WTWW-1 is missing; 5085, WTWW-2 with BS is
still on but with hum and distortion. By 1313 check, all three are on day
frequencies, 9475, 9930, 12105 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** VIETNAM [non]. 15310, March 12 at 1406, good signal in Vietnamese, i.e. R.
Free Asia via TINIAN this hour only; no jamming heard (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 10200-SSB, March 12 at 0606, 2-way in Spanish, and another 2-way
Spanish contact interfering from 10198 or so (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
