Radio208 is back on 5970 kHz broadcasting 24/7 with 100W from Hvidovre,
Copenhagen. Has been off the air since December 9th due to aerial problems
(water in the balun).
Radio208 can now be received a lot better during nighttime on 1440 kHz (300W
from Ish?j, Copenhagen) ? because Saudi Arabia apparently has ceased
broadcasting on 1440 kHz.

With the holidays over, things have finally calmed down enough to allow me a
little time on the radio again. This is a selection of the more interesting
logs, skipping the ubiquitous CRI and CNR stuff. All listening was on WebSDRs,
since local listening at my downtown location has become a mere exercise in
frustration. It's wonderful to have the KiwiSDR network as a backup, which also
allows some detective work about scheduling that would otherwise be
unthinkable. Thanks to every single volunteer!
AUSTRALIA
VMC Charleville Meteo, 20469 kHz, 2021-12-30, 0850 UTC: Fax Transmission,
nicely decoded with the integrated decoder of the KiwiSDR software, barometric
map, S=5 on KiwiSDR Kuwait, off at 0855. None of the // detectable.
BRAZIL
R?dio Casa AM, 5900 kHz, 2021-12-30, 1952 UTC: The first station of a South
America bandscan was unknown to me, it turned out to be this pirate station
with Brazilian and anglo popmusic, quite pleasant to listen to. IDs after each
song. They have a parallel frequency of 7455 kHz, and a second channel with
different music on 8000 kHz, which IDs as "R?dio Casa 8000". 5900:35443
7455:55444 8000:45343 on KiwiSDR Sao Bernardo do Campo, Brazil. Further away,
not so much: An hour later there was just a carrier on 7455 on the receiver in
Montevideo.
R?dio Voz Missionaria, 5938.95 kHz, 2021-12-30, 2006 UTC: English-language song
"Beautiful City of God", 55444 on KiwiSDR Sao Bernardo do Campo, Brazil. //
9666.44: 55555
R?dio Inconfidencia, 6010 kHz, 2021-12-30, 2009 UTC: music, then a quick lucky
ID "Inconfidencia da R?dio", 45333 on KiwiSDR Sao Bernardo do Campo, Brazil. //
15190.1: 25311
R?dio Marumby, 6080 kHz, 2021-12-30, 2018 UTC: Christian programming in
Portuguese, "espirito do Deus", song "O Senhor", 55555 on KiwiSDR Sao Bernardo
do Campo, Brazil. This signal creates (locally) strong spurs wobbling around
6035.5 and 6124.5, with a scratchy sound but good enough to identify as //. NOT
heard on 9515 which had AWR in French from Madagascar at this time, and nothing
else (le royeaume de Dieu), 45333.
R?dio Saturno, 6150 kHz, 2021-12-30, 2025 UTC: This newly reported station
produced, if anything, nothing but a strong empty carrier. At first it sounded
just like Radio Cairo. But the weak modulation heard under the slight hum
turned out to be in Arabic, so that would be BBC from A'Seela/Oman.
R?dio Boa Vontade, 6160.1 kHz, 2021-12-30, 2029 UTC: Christian programming in
Brazilian Portuguese, 33333 on KiwiSDR Sao Bernardo do Campo, Brazil. //
9550.07:55444; 11895.10:55440 (no modulation)
CHINA, P.R.
Chinese Military (Enigma M89), 4860 kHz, 2021-12-30, 1621 UTC: Heard a CW loop
"VVV Q2M Q2M Q2M DE NYZ NYZ" which a quick Google search revealed as a known
standard message from presumed PRC military stations. Very strong 599 on
KiwiSDR Tha Mai, Thailand.
CNR1 jamming (// CNR1 17890) against Sound of Hope heard on 2021-12-30 on
KiwiSDR Kuwait:
15760 0715 32432
15800 0716 35333
15920 0717 54444
15970 0717 35322
16100 0719 35322
17520 0731 52432 also "jamming" CRI(!!)
18900 0832 54433
18970 0833 45433
21800 0902 25311
CRI (one CRI log after all!!), 17950 kHz (not a typo), 2021-12-30, 0757 UTC:
English program // 17670, but whence? Will I figure it out before they probably
close down at 0800? YES: Kashgar is the villain, 17490-17720 leapfrog -->
17720-17490 = 230 --> 17720+230 = 17950. 17490=English 17720=(defunct)German.
Next time let's check 17490-230 = 17260 (nothing noted during bandscan in that
range half an hour earlier, maybe I missed it). 17950 had a SINPO of 35322 on
the KiwiSDR in Kuwait. Fun fact from listening - the Chinese government uses
pricing to discourage excessive use of electricity. Once a certain amount of
electricity is used in a household, they use a different billing algorithm and
the cost of electricity goes up dramatically.
ERITREA
Voice of Broad Masses, 7140 kHz, 2021-12-30, 0618 UTC: Speech given in
(presumed) Tigrinya, 45333 on KiwiSDR Kuwait. Gone at 0644. Back with 1 kHz
tone modulation at 0916, 0927 IS, 0932 start of program, now 35322.
ETHIOPIA
Radio Ethiopia, 7110 kHz, 2021-12-29, 1556 UTC: Empty carrier, 1557 audio
starts, 1558 ID and IS "Esei Radio Ethiopia Yun" (phonetically). 55544 on
Nairobi KiwiSDR, with // MW frequencies 828, 855, 873, 1485 heard.
2021-12-30, 0617: heard 45333 on KiwiSDR Kuwait, also at 0701 (35333), 0827
(25332), 1000 (carrier still visible), 1324 (44333), 1349 (53443)
Radio Oromiya, 6030 kHz seems to be on a continuous schedule, not the old
interrupted one that I still have in my list. Oops. I heard them at different
times throughout the day: 2021-12-29 1453 (53443); 2021-12-30 0539 (45333) and
0605 (35333) on KiwiSDR Nairobi, then 0610 (45343), 0701 (35243), 0858 (15111),
1340 (42432) on KiwiSDR Kuwait.
KOREA (REP)
Seoul Radio, 2021-12-30, 0727 UTC: Heard on 16990 (callsign HLO) and 17130
(callsign HLW) with CQ loops, 599 (both freqs) on KiwiSDR Kuwait. One of the
few remaining CW CQ loopers.
SUDAN
Radio Republic of Sudan, 7205 kHz, 2021-12-30, 0618 UTC: Arabic, 55343 on
KiwiSDR Kuwait. Also at 0701 (45333), 0746 (35322), 0914 (25311)
TAJIKISTAN
Voice of Tajik, 7245 kHz, 2021-12-30, 0627 UTC: program in (listed and likely)
Dari, instrumental music, IDs, 45333 on KiwiSDR Kuwait. Wanted to catch the
Russian program at 0800 but by then it had faded down too much.
TANZANIA
ZBC Radio (Zanzibar) (tentative but pretty sure), 6015 kHz, 2021-12-30, 0538
UTC: Swahili talk program, c/d mid-sentence at 0556. 55344 on KiwiSDR Nairobi.
73 and a Happy New Year!

** CUBA. 6000, Dec 30 at 0729, RHC English still on here and
nofrequency else, except JBA carrier on 12000; S9+10/20 but
undermodulated on 6000 which is normally off a sesquihour earlier.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 15230, Dec 30 at 1539, RHC only a trace of modulation, while
`Sonido Cubano` music show is well audible on // 15140, 13700, 11760,
9710. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** JAPAN [and non]. 7445, Dec 30 at 0726, quite a mess collision at
about equal levels from NHK direct in Japanese, and KBS World Radio in
Korean via UK. You`d think these neighbors could get along better; or
did the agree to ``share``? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** PUERTO RICO. 391 MCW kHz, Dec 30 at 0739 UT, DDP, ND beacon at San
Juan / Dorado, is JBA, with occasional storm crashes from AL/GA. I
think I have discovered how to hear DDP: Post an item a few days
before about it *not* being heard (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 28300 CW, Dec 30 at 1911, K6FRC/B beacon again from CA, some
sporadic E not reaching FM band. The WJ5O list, which is
historical as well as current, shows two other K6FRCs on 28300, but
not with the exact call I copy with the /B.
28286.5 CW, Dec 30 at 1913, WB0BIN, beacon with calls fast and slow
alternating. Often heard before rather than hundreds of others listed
by WJ5O:
``28.2865 WB?BIN C SABIN, MINNESOTA # 7W, GP VERTICAL New 22 Apr 18``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

WOR 2119 confirmed UT Fri Dec 31 at 0130 on WRWI 7780, S9/+10 but
noisy direct, likewise at Virginia SDR; better S9+10 and not noisy
into Maine SDR. BUT 5850 is OFF the air! Not heard direct or at
remotes. It is back on by 0159 when WOR is over, maybe a bit earlier
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 7505, Dec 30 at 0727, S9/+10 of dead air or trace of
modulation; in Hindi, Chinese, or English? from WRNO (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. 12050, Dec 30 at 1540, NO signal from WEWN
Spanish. If it stay off, clearing channel for Ndarason at 19-21, which
per EiBi follows this convoluted site switcheroo schedule:
12050 1900-1930 Mo-Sa TCD Radio Ndarason Int. KNU WAf /ASC
12050 1900-1930 Su TCD Radio Ndarason Int. KNU WAf /UAE
12050 1930-2000 TCD Radio Ndarason Int. KNU WAf /UAE
12050 2000-2030 Sa-Th TCD Radio Ndarason Int. KNU WAf /ASC
12050 2000-2030 Fr TCD Radio Ndarason Int. KNU WAf /UAE
12050 2030-2100 TCD Radio Ndarason Int. KNU WAf /ASC
WEWN, RCM, is still off at 1748 check. Probably due to Blitz over
central Alabama, Georgia:
https://www.blitzortung.org/en/live_lightning_maps.php?map=30
Shux; 1902 check, WEWN back on 12050, no Ndarason. 15610 English also
started, Es boost so can hear the squeal. Apparently live show
commenting on ``insane weather`` B`ham are having, T-storms this
morning (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 7730, UT Fri Dec 31 at 0035 tune-in, lots of clips some in
English and the great music of the defunct Radio Sweden, which left SW
in 2010 -- it`s the topic of `La Rosa de Tokio` on WRMI this week,
presumably with some further repeats (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** VANUATU. 5040, Dec 30 at 0725, JBA carrier presumably RV, with Cuba
off (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
