** CANADA. 15034-USB, March 3 at 1526, Trenton Military with ``no report
received`` from Winnipeg, Edmonton; usual 61-minute-slow wrong timecheck for
1425Z, but succeeds in getting a report next from Cold Lake (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ECUADOR. 6050, March 3 at 0620, very surprised to find Spanish here, and
it`s a heavily produced gospel huxter, sounds like Ministerio En Contacto,
California. What could it be but HCJB? For many years they signed off at 0500*,
but recently cut back to 0230v*. Revived or a mistake? I didn`t think they were
on the air at all at this hour, and MW 690 was recently turned off forever.
Maybe FM 89.3 programming is available, running 24h. I keep listening for the
tell-tale half-hour timesignal, and there it is right at 0630, and into song,
so I`m confident it really is HCJB. Can`t find any plain old program schedule
at http://radiohcjb.org
No sign of ELWA Liberia which should be on 6050 after 0530 now in English, but
I would never hear it in HCJB`s absence, anyway (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. 9524.942, March 3 at 1534, carrier here must be VOI, along with a
JBA one closer to 9525.00 (CRI English via Kashgar), but nothing toward 9526.
As recently as Feb 21, VOI was on the other(?) transmitter close to 1 kHz
higher: ``Good signal of Voice of Indonesia on Feb 21:
1300-1400 on 9525.9 JAK 250 kW / 010 deg to EaAs English
(Ivo Ivanov, QTH: Sofia, Bulgaria, dxldyg via DX LISTENING DIGEST)``
Atsunori Ishida, http://rri.jpn.org/ shows it went back to ``9525`` on March 1
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MALI. 5995.000, March 3 at 0615, carrier from R. Mali is spot-on, not 9 Hz
high like the unID I had almost 4 hours earlier; and only one carrier now, so
that remains a mystery (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SAIPAN. 9790.031, March 3 at 1540, YL in Chinese, piano music bit, S9,
significantly off frequency. Yes, it`s IBB, Agignan Point, Saipan, again, RFA
scheduled this hour only; but no jammer audible closer to 9790.0 or anywhere
around.
Note my previous log of Saipan 38 Hz high: ``11850.038, Feb 24 at 1426-1430+,
bandscanning in 1 kHz steps with BFO, anything a bit off-frequency raises a red
flag`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. With 6855 WRMI absent early UT March 3, I asked Jeff White:
``Jeff, 6855 is off this evening, so I wonder if there is a problem with that
transmitter and whether it will be on tomorrow night for the SWL Fest special?
Do you have a backup alternate frequency for that?
I`m also wondering whether the Fri 2230 WOR on 11580 & 5950 will still be on
6855 as well, since programming content seems to be changing there and not
fully published. While I`m at it, I`ll ask what`s the story on TruNews
departing? 73, Glenn``
``Glenn: We've been doing maintenance and some upgrades to 6855, but it will be
on for the SWL Fest broadcast tonight. We are also probably going to simulcast
it on 9395 kHz. TruNews decided to leave shortwave at the end of February
(going all Internet it seems), so 9395 is available for the SWL Fest broadcast.
By the way, I think the former 2200-0100 UT programming on 6855 will return in
a couple of weeks or so. We have had some special programs and have changed
things temporarily. Jeff`` (Glenn Hauser, March 3, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 9810.056, March 3 at 1543, JBA carrier off-frequency. And another
even weaker one close to 9810.00. Aoki shows at 1520-1620, VIRI Sirjan eastward
in Urdu; and also at 1500-1600, BBC Oman northeastward in Pashto. Iran should
be the one that`s off; but HFCC shows since Feb 12, BBC has switched to the UAE
site, which is also capable of such skewage, fond of lax accuracy (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
This report dispatched at 1736 UT March 3

Holy Dead Air, Batman...The Voice of Vietnam had some technical glitches
today!
Very brief audio drop-outs seem to be common for them.. but as I said,
they're quick.. and they always come right back.
Well, today the 7315khz broadcast at 0100UTC via World Harvest Radio in
South Carolina was littered with technical issues.
Right after the news started, the audio dropped out for a few seconds and
came back to the news. Not long after, it dropped out again for a bit
longer and a World Harvest Radio promotional announcement started playing
in mid sentence.
Voice of Vietnam news then abruptly interrupted the World Harvest Radio
promo. After another minute or two, the VOV program feed dropped out .. and
stayed out.
After about 5 minutes, contemporary christian filler music from World
Harvest Radio popped on mid song and VOV didn't return.
(Not complaining necessarily, just wondering what in blazes goes on that
these many glaring technical issues happened today, way moreso then they
usually have.)
Yes, I'm well aware of the issues KIYU had when broadcasting on WRM
6885/15770khz last week. I know that caused that... sattelite internet!
