5915 ZAMBIA ZNBC/R. One 0310 M DJ in lcl vern. playing Afro
Pop songs and anmnts between songs. Great signal on the web rx in
Pardinho Brazil. Nonexistant on the rx in South Africa. 0329:20 M
ended anmnt w/ID and TC "5:29". 0330 W anncr w/rel. pgm segment giving
Christian EG words every so often. (Valko 14 Feb.)
5011.3v MADAGASCAR R.M. Was watching from 0210 and it didn’t
come on by 0232 t/out. But upon recheck at 0243, found it here playing
pleasant choral mx. 0253 went into Dance Pop mx. 0257 bubbly W anncr,
back to mx. 0259 took a quick dive down to 5011.0 but then came back
up. Notched out the QRM from 5010.01 Rebelde mixing product. (Valko 15
Feb.)
5915 ZAMBIA ZNBC/R. One 0305 leaving Madagascar came up
here to find it totally in the clear as Romania had signed off, and
still no sign of 5920 WHRI. Fair signal w/M hosting African Pops.
(Valko 15 Feb.)
11868.4 MADAGASCAR MWV Finally figured out who this is. It’s a
spur of 11610 Madagascar World Voice. Also noted the spur below on
11351.6 as well. Hrd w/CH rel. pgming from 2106-2143. Fundamental
11610 is quite good here. (Valko 15 Feb.)
9650 GUINEA R. Guinee 0945 long phoned-in report by M
journalist in FR to 0951 w/annoying double 'beeps' every 3 seconds.
Studio M anncr, then another report w/beeps again. 1000 fanfare then
canned ToH ID anmnt w/several IDs by M, and M w/nx. Don't usually hear
Guinea at this time as it fades earlier. Pres. North Korea underneath.
(Valko 17 Feb.)
7300 CHINA CNR1 pres. jammer 1002 nx by W in CH
w/actualities and occas. breaks, //9500. Getting an echo here and on
the Pardinho Brazil web rx, so guess there are 2 xmtrs on the freq. Hrd
another weak stn underneath presumably stn it was jamming. Don't see a
listing for this freq. (Valko 17 Feb.)
5910.18 COLOMBIA R. Alcaravan First time hrd in a while and way
off freq. 1012 rel. pgm w/M host in SP w/ments of corazon, Santa Cruz,
Colombia, gloria de dios, la voz del pueblo, la palabra, and many
Cristiano. Into soft vcl song at 1014, then M host returned. Really
faded badly, almost complete f/out, but came back up at 1027. Pgm
finally ended at 1043 w/outro, studio M anncr giving TC twice, then into
lively LA tropical mx. Went off the air suddenly in mid-song at
1111:30. (Valko 17 Feb.)
5875 THAILAND R.T. End of VT pgm at 1114. Usual bells IS,
M in EG w/ID and lang. pgm anmnt, and several more reps of the bells IS.
Good signal. (Valko 17 Feb.)
3325 PAPUA NEW GUINEA NBC Bougainville 1122-1143 long
speech by M w/ments of Bougainville. 1143 brief deadair, and into mx.
1151 reggae-like island Pop song. 1155 live W w/closing ID anmnt
"...broadcast on NBC Bougainville." and ment of SW and FM freq, another
ID, date, and ments of Papua New Guinea, "ogala night", Monday, and
suddenly off at 1156:55 before she could finish. Pretty nice signal.
Not as strong with the Delta Loop but quieter than the Wellbrook for
some reason. (Valko 17 Feb.)
5020 SOLOMON ISLANDS SIBC 1157 usual xmsn ending rel.
inspiritional segment. 1200 instru. mx and canned EG voice-over closing
ID anmnt by W "You've been listening to the Solomon Islands Broadcasting
Corporation, R. Happy Isles. We have been transmitting on 1035
kilohertz in the mediumwave band and the shortwave frequency of 5020
kHz, and 9545 kHz in the 60 and 31 meterbands. We're now closing down
for today but we resume transmissions tomorrow morning at 6 o'clock. So
until then, from all of us at SIBC, goodnight everyone", instru. NA, and
signal off at 1202:16. Despite Rebelde, this was the most readable
signal in a long time. (Valko 17 Feb.)
5008.3 MADAGASCAR R.M. Found way down on this freq at 0241
w/Afro Pop mx. 0245 M anncr. 0247 song sounded like a remake of "Last
Friday Night" by Katy Perry. Usually wobbly signal. Dropped down below
5008 briefly at 0247, and down to 5008.1 when next song started at 0355.
So the freq drops every time there's a change in audio (song to song,
anmnt to song, etc.). 0300 ment of Madagascar but couldn't tell if it
was an ID. Had to notch out the Rebelde mixing product on 5010. (Valko
18 Feb.)
