Checked  0330 to 0455 UT slot this morning in Delhi, Doha Qatar,
southern Germany and various places like Hiroshima, Tokyo, Kyoto,
Ishikawa, Nagoya etc in Japan.

WCB Mahajanga-MDG
0300 0400 15515 INDIA   ENGLISH
0400 0500 11825 AFRICA  A.ENGLISH
0400 0500 17530 S.CHINA CHINESE

MADAGASCAR   11825  WCB Mahajanga-MDG at 0430 UT heard in rather poor S=5
signal in Doha Qatar and Delhi sidelobe, but ENGLISH ! Program is meant to
central all Africa and at 295degr towards West Africa. At 0443-0447 UT heard
modern religious prayer songs in English. S=7 in southern Germany.

But there other WCB MWV Chinese language sce at same time slot
in 16 meterband on 17530 kHz gives S=7-8 signal in Doha Qatar, and eastwards
much stronger in Delhi India at proper S=9+20dB, S=9+ in various SDR remotes
in Japan. at 0440 UT.

WCB MWV Frequency selection of 17530 kHz channel is rather poor.
Adjacent Chinese services on 17540 and 17520 kHz are mostly 20 kHz wideband 
signals.


Otherwise there are a lot of fq range channels FREE at 04-05 UT time slot.

17530 kHz suffer by adjacent CRI Hakka service at 0400-0500 UT from Kashgar
western China border bcasting center outlet at 0451 UT, latter on 17540 kHz
which is S=9+40dB in Delhi India.
And another adjacent 17520 kHz suffer in use by MRA Saipan RFA Mandarin +
accompanied Chinese jamming, like S=9 in Japan.

In 03-04 UT slot WCB MWV Mahajanga-MDG signal in English propagate excellent
via Indian Ocean on 15515 kHz, heard a S=9+20dB signal at 0335 UT in Delhi
India remote post.


SRI LANKA  15499.994  AWR ETH sce in Oromo and Amharic languages heard at
03-04 UT, noted also in Qatar and Delhi remote SDR installation, S=9
strength at 0350 UT, HoA music at 0357 UT. Scheduled AWR daily at 03-04 UT

MADAGASCAR [and non]. 11825, May 5 at 0410, the African Pathways Radio
hour from Madagascar World Voice via Mahajanga, is instead dead air at
S9+5 fading to S7; 0411 modulation cuts on --- but in Arabic, not English!
Talk. 0417 back to dead air for a seminute, then some music; 0420 talk
again, then more dead air. 0427 a few words of Arabic, more silence as the
NHK IS is again audible underneath; 0431 music cuts on. With only a few
languages and a limited schedule on two transmitters, you`d think MWV
could manage to match them up properly. Anyhow, 25m propagation all the
way from Mad is VG tonight (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

MADAGASCAR [and non]. 11650, May 5 at 0415, S9+25 peaks via Talata site,
R. Tamazuj ID in Arabish, with phone SFX, repeated IDs, song; accompanies
also VG but defective signal from the other Madagascar site MWV, q.v. 0421
also // weaker 9600 running 6 seconds behind 11650.

For the morning broadcasts, HFCC, Aoki and EiBi almost agree:
R. Tamazuj: 0330-0429 9600 Vatican, 11650 Madagascar.
R. Dabanga: 0430-0530 9600 Vatican, 11650 Vatican, 13800 Madagascar

So if I had checked 11650 after Dabanga took over, it should have
weakened, and no longer be out of synch with 9600 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)



SRI LANKA. 11905, May 6 at 0115, tune in just in time to poor but
improving SLBC carrier, to hear mistimesignal ending at 0115:20 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

2017-05-05 Thread Glenn Hauser via Hard-Core-DX 
** ALBANIA [non]. 5850, May 4 at 2300, R. Tirana via WRMI, opening news is all 
politix including PM meeting opposition to resolve political crisis; civil 
disobedience, protests; 2307 press review; recheck just before closing another 
talk feature rather than music until 2328 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING 
DIGEST)

** JAPAN [non]. 9490, May 5 at 0422, NHK Japanese via GERMANY is marred by 
Cuban pulse jamming at about equal poor level, left over from R. República via 
France on same frequency which presumably stops at 0300 when Japan starts 
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KUWAIT. 15540, May 5 at 2052, R. Kuwait news headlines in English, 2056 more 
western pop music, 2100 timesignal, a bit more music and off. I think they 
missed the national anthem? Good on BST-1 caradio (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX

** NORTH AMERICA. 7615, May 5 at 0409, YHWH is on at S9-S7. His regular 
schedule is certainly facilitating rebusting, but maybe correctly assumes FCC 
is otherwise preoccupied (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

:14 past an hour.

Again May 6 at both at 0414 & 0416 on 5000: refers to http://www.nist.gov/wwv

Warning announcements as broadcast on WWV and WWVH are scheduled to be 
discontinued on October 1, 2017. 

Questions, comments or issues concerning this action should be emailed to
