INDONESIA. 4755, VOI, 1301-1400 UT, Feb 5 (Wednesday), heard via Kiwi SDR
remote at Bandung, Indonesia.
Yes, a major change in their format. Now with a more informal style of a DJ;
giving local Jakarta time (5-6) and
playing a lot of pop songs and preempting many programs that were formerly on
every day. 3325 (VOI) remains
silent.
1301-1311: Intro and news. 1311: "Commentary" about the progress being made
with the new capital, Nusantara.
1314-1324: Pop songs; second day without the patriotic song ?Bagimu Negeri? and
no "Today in History."
1324: Announcer/DJ chatting and with "wise words" quotation - "If you want to
be a great leader, write like a journalist
and speak like a storyteller."
1336: Item about managing village funds; priority of 15% towards dealing with
poverty (news story -
https://en.antaranews.com/news/343781/minister-calls-for-responsible-management-of-village-funds
).
1353: Tourist info about Indonesia beach; similar to "Indonesian Wonders"
format, but no program name mentioned today.
1355: DJ with time check (coming up to six, in Jakarta; so this broadcast must
be recorded).
1355-1359: Rather a brief segment of "Music Corner," with only one song.

** SPAIN. 9690, Wed Feb 5 at 2300, token English from SNR, VG S9+40/50
direct but zero signal on 12030 to ME; 17715 JBA and 17755 JBA
carrier. Preview topic to be about books; 2301 news leads with
Drumpf`s plans for Gaza (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2280 monitoring: ``From:? Richard
Lemke, St. Albert, Alberta, Canada, the desk of Richard?s listening
Post, Radio: JRC NRD-535 HF, Antenna: random long wires in the trees.
WRMI, USA, World of Radio #2280, 9395 kHz, QRN, changeable reception,
0030, 0045, 0059 (4-55433), (45433), 0059, February 5 UTC 2025 [Wed]
(Lemke, Richard -AB)``
Confirmed UT Wednesday February 5 at 0030 on WRMI 9395, S9+30/35 into
Georgia SDR.
Also confirmed UT Wednesday February 5 not starting until 0031 on SW
Radio, Germany, 3974.991+, further off-frequency than usual, S7/S9
into UTwente.
Also confirmed Wednesday February 5 at 2030 on SW Radio, Germany,
3975.003-, S9/+10 into UTwente.
Also confirmed Wednesday February 5 at 2200 on WBCQ 7489.93, JBA
direct. Next:
0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S;
1730 UT Thursday SW Radio, Germany 3975.
Thanks this week to Moises Corilloclla, formerly of Per?, now of Rego
Park, NY, for a contribution by check on a US bank to Glenn Hauser, P
O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702, and says, ``Please take this humble
donation, a token of gratitude for all the years of dedication.
Wishing you the best for year 2025 and plenty of WOR editions!``
One may also contribute via PayPal, not necessarily in US funds, to
woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** VANUATU. 7260, Feb 5 at 0700 and still 0709, NO signal from R.
Vanuatu, nor on 9960 at 0657. Checking due to this report from Ron
Howard:
``Hi Glenn - Radio Vanuatu remains silent through 0425 UT, Feb 5.
Since Feb 2, have checked 2485, 3945, 5040, 7260 and 9960,
with no results, via various Pacific Kiwi SDR remotes. So tonight I
sent off an email. Quick reply from: Warren Robert,
Manager Technical Services, But he only sent me the following:
VBTC HF SCHEDULE FEBRUARY 2025
VILA Time??? UTC? Frequency
0600-0700?? 1900? 5040
0700-1000?? 2000? 7260
1000-1800?? 2300? 9960
1800-2400?? 0700? 7260``
And different lineups for January and March as if changing every
month. This appears to be aspirational (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** VATICAN [and non]. Trying to unravel the true sites for VR Amharic
at 1530 on 15565 & 13830, Feb 5: 15565 already on at 1528 with IS, but
no 13830, which does not pop on until 1530. On two receivers direct, I
confirm they are synchronized, so from same site, listed as SMG.
Then I try to run TDOA direxion-finding on 15565, but don`t get it to
guess at a ``likely`` location. Perhaps others can try and succeed.
Could it be MADAGASCAR instead? Both are very bigsigs here in the
wrong direxion from the target area, unless they are aimed back from
MAD. One can also investigate signals in skip zones around SMG and
MAD. Arezzo in N Italy, 168 km from SMG, gets 15565 with some echo,
maybe backscatter.
After 1600 they are both much weaker direct, but still seem synchro,
while by then 13830 is allegedly switched from SMG to MAD, while 15565
allegedly remains SMG (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** VENEZUELA. 4940 - 17 Hz = 4939.983, Feb 5 at 2356, S9/+10 into
Bonaire SDR, man talking in strange language, must be native, with
occasional Spanishish words like Jesucristo, uno, tres, past 2400 with
no break or ID, 2405 to song in unknown language too. So it`s Estaci?n
4940.
Note that WRTH 2025 lists this station as in Rinc?n Hondo, Apure
state, 1 kW, no callsign, R. La Monta?a, not as Estaci?n 4940.
Previous DF led to somewhere in Apure state, and perhaps the exact
town is authoritative,
https://ie.toponavi.com/192748
but the Monta?a name seems to have been that of a Colombian? program
it was carrying in the early days, not an ID. Sometimes it`s on air
all?-night past 0700, sometimes not. S American trop band stations are
getting really scarce (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 216 kHz, Feb 5 at 0701 UT, JBA carrier from some NDB,
unusual spot. RNA list shows only one anywhere: CO, `Epsom`, COncord
NH, 0 watts = unknown power, last logged 2024-11-14. DXinfocentre.com
agrees it`s the only one, 25 watts (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
