Nice finding Bryan.
CHINA 6125 channel checked remotedly at SDR unit in Brisbane Australia at
1010 UT on April 6, was a little too late to fetch RRI Nabire INS?
Only CNR1 older 100 kW unit at Beijing covered on channel, exact measured on
6124.997 kHz, S=6 or -88dBm fair signal noted in Queensland,
and observed also on 17 \\ CNR1 channels too, at this time slot, on
6030, 7230, 7305, 9500strong, 9645, 9830, 11710, 11720, 11760, 12045, 13610,
15370, 15380, 15480, 15550, 17550, and 17890 kHz.

Alan Roe`s Hitlist of SW stations:
http://www.w4uvh.net/hitlist.htm
** BANGLADESH. 15505, April 5 until 1400:31.5, Bangladesh Betar mis-timesignal
is JBA (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL [and non]. 6180, April 5 at 0537, weak signal in French, i.e. VOA SAO
TOME, M-F 0530-0630. No sign of RNA as first reported March 31 by Daniel
Wyllyans, Mato Grosso, Brasil, reactivated and testing as high as 6183, then
more like 6181, audible for him in the daytime.
6180.226, & 6180.662, April 6 at 0640, now I`m getting it! Very strong S9+20
with usual upbeat nightmiddle programming // 11780.105. Two frequencies? Yes,
with BFO I can tell this one transmitter has two carrier peaks measured as
above, and they beat against each other in a self-heterodyne. Must make for an
interesting SDR display.
If this goes to a full schedule, bad news for much weaker 6185 XEPPM, Mexico`s
only remaining SW station --- but we`ve had a good run of no ZY ACI for at
least a year. As for direct collisions on 6180, besides VOA as above, at
nighttime HFCC A-16 shows only CRI English southward from Kashgar at 2300-0200
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [and non]. 13605, April 5 at 1958, R. Mart? correctly announces it will
soon be on 9565 and 11930, and 13605 off at 1959*. Then 9565 bears jamming, and
11930 RM audible under jamming (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** FRANCE. 13740, April 5 at 1949, something fair in French until cut off at
1958*. HFCC A-16 shows it`s RFI at 17-20, but a different azimuth each hour
from Issoudun, the final one being 200 degrees (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST) See also USA: WRMI
** IRAN. 9420, April 6 at 0322, no sign of VIRI ``Voice of Justice``, English
to N America, as originally scheduled for A-16; just as well, since GREECE is
here! Nor on // 11780: equally just as well, since BRASIL is here!
I hadn`t really looked for it since A-16 began March 27, nor have I seen
reports of anyone hearing it. Walt Salmaniw, BC says he tried for it every
night with no success. That may be because, as Stephen Cooper received from
[email protected] April 4:
``Dear Stephen, Warm greetings from IRIB English Radio Broadcast. IRIB English
radio has recently planned to broadcast its programs via Internet and satellite
and based on this plan, the shortwave broadcast of our radio will be
unfortunately discontinued. As a radio hobbyist and an audience of IRIB English
Radio based in Tehran, Iran, what do you think about this idea? Do you think we
should take this measure and act as we have planned or you still prefer to
follow our programs via shortwave radio? Please let us know and help us to make
the best decision. Best Regards, Keep in touch, Arezou Radd, IRIB English
Radio``
Stephen adds, ``I have replied asking for information on when this will happen
and I have stressed it should continue on shortwave. The email doesn't make it
clear if the decision has been made or not though`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** KURDISTAN [non]. 11600, April 5 at 2057, music seems Kurdish rather than
Biafran, but very poor, S5; 2059 announcement in uncertain language, music cuts
off at 2100:06*. Then, just as monitored a couple times before, a
stronger-sounding carrier but also metering S5 cuts on at *2102:07 and off at
2103:36*, as if another station is attempting to start but failing, lack of
feed input?
We had concluded that R. Biafra has quit SW, and on April 6 Ivo Ivanov reports
``NO MORE R. Biafra via SPL Secretbrod [Bulgaria] from 2100 on 11600 SCB 100 kW
/ 195 deg to WeAf after close of Denge Kurdistan``.
However, Biafra was still reported on one recent date by Mark Taylor, Wisconsin
in his NASWA Flashsheet, so is there conflict over who gets to broadcast during
this hour? If it was in English, it certainly wasn`t Denge Kurdistanye:
``11600 OPPOSITION. Radio Biafra ? Kostinbrod, BULGARIA (Presumed), 2017?2100,
4/2/16 in English. Mostly a program of call ins about a variety of politically
related situations in Nigeria (Boko Haram, corruption, etc.), music at 2025,
2036 fanfare and quick ID into person on the street type interview, music,
commentary, brass band music to 2100 suddenly off mid song. Fair`` (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NEW ZEALAND. 9700, April 5 at 1405, RNZI is still here instead of 6170,
opening a Forum from BBCWS in London, about extreme environments for life on
earth and elsewhere; very interesting, and something not easily heard from BBC
itself; wrapping up already at 1446 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NORTH AMERICA. 7520, April 5 at 2100-2104+ nothing detected after getting a
tip that pirate WAZU would be on at this time (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. Part 15 FM transmitters from Finer Physiques on West Willow in
Enid audible next door while I am having lunch at Jiang Yuan. There is so much
blockage otherwise that I can`t even hear KOSU on my walkmanish. These allow
customers to hear, presumably on headsets, whatever TV channel audio they
choose while exercising, so content is constantly changing. April 5 around 19
UT I get these:
90.9, soap opera in English, source unknown
89.7, a news channel, then channel surfing to something else
88.9, algo
88.7, Fox 25, weak (KOKH)
88.5, Dateline on OWN, a cold-case story, strong
(Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1819 monitoring: confirmed Tue April 5 at 2330-
(starting a few seconds early) on WBCQ 9330.0-CUSB; also confirmed Wed April 6
after 1315.5 on WRMI 9955, good, no jamming. Next:
Wed 2100 WBCQ 7490v to WSW
Wed 2330 WBCQ 9330v-CUSB to WSW
Updated WRMI schedule grid shows two additional airings; tnx, Jeff!
UT Mon 0030 on 7730 to WNW, and Tue 2130 on 15770 to NE.
Fully updated WOR schedule:
http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9955 & 11580, April 5 at 1401, WRMI with different eclectic music.
9955, April 6 at 1422 check, with Qur`an!
WORLD MUSIC is now officially entered on the WRMI schedule grid for frequencies
other than 9955, altho we often hear it in the 14-15 & 05-06 UT hours at least,
instead of BS on 9955.
As of April 6 the sked shows World Music:
Wed-Sun 0000-0100 & Tue 0000-0030 on 7730
Wed/Fri/Sat 0200-0300 on 11580
Tue-Sat 0700-0800 & Sun 0730-0800 on 7730
Mon-Sat 1300-1400 & 2000-2100 on 11580 [also often heard after 1400]
Since WRMI does not provide a playlist, but many of the tunes are heard time
and again in some kind of rotation, may I suggest that people with
music-identifying apps apply them here?
Presumably any more time that can be sold will be carved out of this. Also,
Radio France International is now shown only as: Wed 2115-2200 & Thu 2130-2200
on 15770 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9275.032, April 5 at 1936, WMLK is on at S9 level, but just barely
modulated; weaker S7 9265 neighbor WINB sounds louder (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9917.075 & 9942.935, April 5 at 1940, weak parasitic spur carriers
from extremely strong 9930 WTWW-2 measured here, i.e. matching approx. 12.93
kHz above and below. Fundamental probably slightly off-frequency, but not
measured directly; halfway between the spurs would be 9930.005 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
