** BRAZIL. 9664.95, April 24 at 0558 tune-in, immediate ID in passing from Voz Missionária; no CCI now, so I take the opportunity to measure its offness without MWV in the way. None of the ZY 31mb stations manage to attain xxxx.00 kHz, nor 25mb (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 10345, April 24 at 0602, YL Spanish spy-numbers alternating with digital bleeps, huge S9+30 to 40, which cause enough overloading on the wide-open R75 (Preamp 2 normally engaged) to make this show up first on ``11735`` as sum mixture with my strongest local MW signal, 1390 KCRC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** INDIA. 4895.0, April 24 at 1239, JBA carrier here ex-4896.0 yesterday, so AIR Kurseong is back in whack (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** NIGERIA. 7254.944, April 24 at 0608, S9+10 open carrier/dead air, obviously from VON during the Hausa hour which is sometimes modulated (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** PHILIPPINES. 9922.0, Sunday April 24 at 1248, strident talk in unknown language at S3-S5; nothing on 9920, so FEBC Iba site has jumped up to here, now on the top side of whoop-whoop Viet Cong jamming which stays on 9921.0! Therefore, tune FEBC with USB instead of LSB just like the Hill Tribes in Vietnam must be doing to avoid the jamming. But switching from one side to the other does nothing to improve the situation. What language? Depends on which source consulted. Aoki, which denotes Sunday as Day 1, says it`s in Hre. EiBi, which makes Monday Day 1, says it`s CHR. What do those abbrs mean? For that we have to consult EiBi`s readme exhaustive key to lang abbrs. http://www.eibispace.de/dx/README.TXT which also covers transmitter site abbrs. Hre is Hre, a.k.a. [hre], a rare case where all three versions match! Spoken by 0.1 mega Vietnamese inhabitants, on Sun/Tue/Thu/Sat; while on M/W/F it`s in Bah which must mean Bahnar, but which EiBi abbrs. as BHN or [bdq], spoken by 160K Vietnamese. On the contrary, the CHR language is listed in EiBi for Sundays during this semihour, stands for Chrau [crw] spoken by only 7 kilopeople. He also has different langs on other days: Thu & Sat it`s CRU = Chru [cje] spoken by 19,000. M/W/F it`s BHN = Bahnar [bdq], a biggie spoken by 160K. It`s safe to say that all these benefit from benevolent Vietnamese Communist government trying to prevent nasty foreign Christian influences from getting to them. At 1300 I hear a bit of hymn tune, announcement in what sounds like real Vietnamese, but there are further conflicts over what language(s) occupy the next semihour I`ll spare you from going into now (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) This report dispatched at 1539 UT April 24 _ Hard-Core-DX mailing list [email protected] http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/hard-core-dx http://www.hard-core-dx.com/ _______________________________________________ THE INFORMATION IN THIS ARTICLE IS FREE.
