Since this is a station thats been of interest to Dx'ers and come up for
discussion before, I wanted to share this clip individually from a report I
posted last night.
This is about as good as I've ever heard them!
I had V7AB 1098 at very very listenable levels, all things considered (Hey,
that's a show on the NPR station I work for!). (Recording was made at
10:10PM AKST/11:10PM Pacific/0710UTC December 11th)
Anyways, I heard what sounded like island christian/religious music
followed by an announcer talking and then more religious music
Here's a recording:

The noise level was a bit lower today and signals were slightly better but
not by much. Pyongyang 657 and 873 were missing and splatter from 300 mile
distant 660 KFAR would've killed Pyongyang 657 anyways.
1566 HLAZ was much weaker then usual and way fade-y, but I also tuned in a
bit later then usual today so they could've changed directions with their 6
tower array, resulting in the weaker signal.
AFN 810 The Eagle Tokyo was on the low side of fair, not the worst I've
ever heard them but far from the best. 810 audio:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iXkdJV01Qdc
909 was pretty weak and noisy but probably understandable by a native
speaker. I don't recall having heard anything here before. 909 audio:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTb6PAYFqSw
954 and 1053 sounded like they were running the same programming. 954 had a
bit less noise and was a bit mroe understandable. 954 audio:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dgITgq2WZNE 1053 audio:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTb6PAYFqSw
1134 was pretty good and about the second least noisiest signal. 1134 audio
here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i1gD7cEW9Ok
1242 Tokyo was by far the best. Strong, fairly clean, mostly noise free,
steady signal. 1242 audio here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_2t82lC6KM
1314 was pretty good as well, a bit of noisy but fairly to pretty
listenable. 1314 audio here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MjS7zwNoYD0
1422 was good, not too noisy. 1422 Audio here:

** AUSTRALIA. 17840, UT Dec 12 at 2105, RA fair signal with an item about the
Opposition to closing down ABC SW services. At least they are allowed to report
on this; there does seem to be a fair amount of internal backlash to this plan,
so possibly it could be overturned by Janend? Uplooked later, it`s part of
`Pacific Beat`, which is a 2-hour show at 20-22 UT, equivalented to ``6-8 am
AEST`` altho 2105 UT is really after 8 am AE summer time which is UT +11.
Anyhow, found the item here for 4:33:
http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-12-12/aus-opp'n-concerned-about-cuts-to-abc-shortwave/8113856
``AUS OPP'N CONCERNED ABOUT CUTS TO ABC SHORTWAVE SERVICES
Updated yesterday at 6:37am
Australia's opposition is asking the ABC questions about its decision to shut
down its shortwave service to the Pacific.
Labor's spokesperson on International Development and the Pacific, Senator
Claire Moore, says they are concerned that Australia's engagement in the
Pacific will suffer because of the decision.
She was recently in the Pacific as part of a bipartisan delegation of
Australian politicians visiting Vanuatu, Solomon islands and Samoa.
Ms Moore tells Bruce Hill Labor has concerns about what happens with radio
broadcasting during cyclones, and whether other countries might want to fill
the gap left by Australia withdrawing``.
Here`s more press about this since DXLD 16-49, via Mike Terry:

announcement. HFCC shows CRI in Yue [= Cantonese] during this hour, 500 kW, 200
degrees from Xi`an site (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 17580, Dec 12 at 1506, RHC music is still on here, // 17730 and JBM
17750. 17580 normally closes earlier than the others, circa 1400, altho one
schedule version shows all three until 1500, then only the upper two (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OMAN. 15140.50, Dec 12 at 1520, S5 carrier, and nothing on 15140.00, so
suspect this is RSO off-frequency. Agreed by Ivo Ivanov: ``Poor signal of Radio
Sultanate of Oman on odd 15140.6 kHz, Dec 12:
1400-1500 on 15140.6 THU 100 kW / 315 deg to WeEu English, low
modulation`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PERU [non]. 5980, Dec 13 at 0040, NO signal from R. Chaski when there is
normally a JBA carrier prior to 0100+v*. Also was not any Dec 11 at 0103 check,
but could have reset autotimer earlier again. We`ll have to see if Claudio
Galaz or anyone is still hearing it before 2400. I do, however, detect a JJBA
carrier on 5979.0 from that off-frequency Chinese (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** SOUTH CAROLINA [and non]. 5765, 5950, 5985, 5015, 6855, 7570, 7730, 9955,
11530, Dec 12 at 0603, all these WRMIBS frequencies are in dead air, and
probably 11580, too weak to tell. Brother HyStairical continues unscathed on
5890 & 3215 WWCR, 7315 WHRI. 7780 WRMI remains off but would be BSing if on.
15440, Dec 12 at 1508, WRMIBS is AWOL here, still audible on much weaker 15770,
17790 and much stronger 13695. Not rechecked until 2213 when 15440 is back on
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TIBET [non]. 11660, Dec 12 at 1521, S9-S5 signal in tonal non-Mandarin
language: yes, ``Bod`` = Tibetan from RFA via TINIAN this hour only. Hey,
where`s the ChiCom *jamming? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1855 monitoring: confirmed UT Monday Dec 12 at 0401 on
Area 51 via WBCQ 5130.095-AM. Also confirmed UT Mon Dec 12 after 0430 on WRMI
9955, S9+10 but some deep fades, no jamming. Also confirmed UT Tue Dec 13 after
0030 on WRMI 7730, S9+40, and seven seconds later on WBCQ 9330.08v-CUSB, S5-S8
but weakening. Next:
Tue 1200 WRMI 9955 to SSE
Tue 2130 WRMI 15770 to NE
Tue 2300 WRMI 9955 to SSE [NEW]
Wed 0030 WBCQ 9330v-CUSB to WSW
Wed 2200 WBCQ 7490v to WSW
Thu 0030 WBCQ 9330v-CUSB to WSW
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 17775, Dec 12 at 1505, checking KVOH whether resumed `Antena DX` or
still repeating `Frecuencia al Dia` but, no signal at all. Normally would have
faded in by now if on (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 3215, UT Tue Dec 13 at 0055, Radio RSA IS via WWRB --- i.e. WWRB
prior to sign-on this time instead of an hour or so earlier. Next check at
0240, after switch to 3195, gospel huxter asserting that ``Jesus was not a
Jew`` ---, so is that a good thing, or a bad thing? Both VG signals on the
BST-1 caradio which doesn`t need more than 2 feet of antenna even on 90m (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
