** ALBANIA. 7425, May 8 at 0128, R. Tirana IS, fair with lots of summer storm
static, 0130 opening with correct schedule of the remaining two English
broadcasts (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BOLIVIA. 6134.8, May 8 at 0132, peppy music, best heard on USB to avoid the
TADIL-A bonker infesting the low side; despite weaker signal, has better
modulation and readability than XEPPM 6185. R. Santa Cruz IDs at 0133 and 0134
sandwiching some kind of promotional announcement. So this date it probably
stayed on until after 0200; other days it goes off shortly after 0100. Nothing
on 6135.0 to het it. Also checked 5580 in case the another Bolivian was active
and audible, but nothing heard (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. 6180, May 8 at 0126, RNA is loud & clear; rechecked, since this
frequency had been missing later on UT Sunday when it should have been on //
11780. Quite a problem for weaker XEPPM on 6185. Retune at 0135 to find 6180
off, but soon cut back on, so intermittent (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake May 8, before 1300:
11300, nothing ever here nor Sound of Hope as some have been reporting
11500, fair at 1234 with VOR Tajikistan CCI
12230, JBA at 1230
12600, fair at 1230
13970, very good at 1252
14700, very good at 1252
15550, good at 1254, and continued past 1301 unlike the others
15900, good at 1254
15970, very good at 1254
16100, very good at 1255
16980, fair at 1255
17250, poor at 1255
17450, very poor at 1256
Before 1400, also a dozen:
11500, poor at 1343 with SAH, CCI from VOR
12600, fair at 1333
13850, poor at 1333
13970, very good at 1333
14950, very poor at 1335
15495, good at 1335
15900, very good at 1335
15970, very good at 1335
16100, very good at 1335
16980, very good at 1335
17170, very good at 1338
17250, poor at 1338
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA [non?]. 21580, May 8 at 0451, very poor signal with M&W in Chinese;
soon found one slightly stronger on 21480, seemed // but not positive, too weak
to match on two receivers. RFA in Chinese via TINIAN is scheduled on both, but
may have been hearing ChiCom CNR1 jamming instead (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** MAURITANIA. 7245, May 8 at 0506, IGIM on this early, in Arabic, but poor
signal, less than 7250 Vatican (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 6185, May 8 at 0123, XEPPM has good carrier but very low modulation,
which combined with heavy ACI from both sides, much stronger Brasil and
Bonaire, makes it unreadable. I was checking this out, since Terry Krueger, FL,
tipped me he was hearing ``your Mexican`` OK at 0044. RNW went off 6190 at
0127, after which I could employ USB or side-tune in AM above 6185 to diminish
the Brazilian splash from 6180. Now R. Educaci?n is playing music, but very
undermodulated. At 0136 I can make out a mention of ``la huasteca potosina``,
but too poor to keep trying to listen. I asked Terry if he didn`t find XEPPM
very undermodulated, and he replied: ``Mod was excellent here but somewhat
squished by 6190 up just before 0100.``
Next check at 0457, to find a fast SAH on 6185, co-channel QRM between one
station talking and the other music: could it still be Vatican this late? I
make out a bit of Spanish: ``se acab? . . . vamos`` (it`s over, let`s go);
could that be an informal sign-off? Blasted away by CRI Sackville 6190 which
cut on about 10 sex before 0500; unfortunately not on wrong frequency 6080
today. And shortly after that, no carrier on 6185 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** NETHERLANDS [non]. 6190, May 8 at 0122 as I am checking on XEPPM 6185, note
that RNW via Bonaire is in English instead of Dutch. Soon obvious that it`s the
very same interview I ran across weeks ago between RNW YL in Dutch, and a Dutch
OM second-generation immigrant to New Zealand, who understands her but replies
in English. I guess with RNW Dutch service about to self-destruct, they are
just re-running old stuff; sad (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PHILIPPINES. 9430, May 8 at 1247, FEBC Chinese, gospel pop music, strong
signal but distorted, and carrier wobbling. This problem has been going on for
many months, some days worse than others. Listed as a 100 kW transmitter at
Bocaue, all the way from 09 to 17 UT. Are they ever going to fix it or replace
it with one of the ex-KFBS units? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SERBIA [non]. 9685, May 8 at 0125, IRS is missing, no signal tho supposedly
scheduled until 0130 in Serbian to NAm [except English on UT Sundays, says
Aoki]; propagation fine with 9665 VOR Pridnestrovye in well (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SPAIN. 15091, 15100.5, 15119.5, 15129, May 7 at 2040 check, the REE 15110
transmitter with very strong signal is again putting out these spurs peaking at
multiples of about 9.5 kHz. Opens at 1855, so probably messes up Nigerian DRM
15115-15125 during following hour. Sometimes the spurs are employed, sometimes
not; tweak that transmitter!
11795, UT Tuesday May 8 at 0124, REE weekly Sephardic service is VG on clear
frequency intended for SAm; historical talk and one must listen closely to
decide whether it`s really in judeo-espa?ol or just plain Castilian intermixed.
Words with j- should as judeo are pronounced [dzh] like an English J, instead
of an [x] aspirated H, so it must not be Castilian (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** TUNISIA. 17735, May 8 at 0455, fair signal in Arabic, kept mentioning
Ibrahim mixed with nice bits of music on plucked instrument. Figured it was
probably Iran, but Aoki shows IWT is now on 17735 not only in the evening at
1600-2110, but also in the morning at 0300-0610, both 250 kW, 100 degrees from
Sfax.
However, not audible much after 0500, so suspect these times are again one hour
off, as we know the evening is really finished around 2010, fortunately for the
rest of RCI`s co-channel in English. I guess 17735 replaces previously
scheduled 9725 at both spans; should be // 12005.
Aoki and HFCC also show 17735 with VOA Tibetan at 03-04 via Tinang, 04-06 via
Thailand, but no sign of that now nor ChiCom jamming. HFCC still shows Tunisia
on 9725 thru 28 Oct, never on 17735 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 7555, May 8 at 0507, WEWN is missing from usual good signal in
Spanish; at 0511 still on the other two, fair 11520 English, poor 11870
Spanish; and all three are active after 1300 check, 11550, 12050, 15615 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 15747 approx., May 8 at 0520, DRMish noise centered around here;
nothing scheduled, maybe utility or jamming (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

United States, (non) 15380.208, Radio Ashna, 1540, Note a number of males
in comments using Dari possibly. Noted also a female giving news at 1545.
In between noted possible slogans. Signal faded often from a good to
poor.(Chuck Bolland, May 8, 2012)

Djibouti, 4780.149, RTV Djibouti, Tentative, 0325-0335, Heard a male in

Bolivia, 6134.900, Radio Santa Cruz, 0010-0030 Noted both a male and female
comments followed by brief music.
At 0015 promos heard over music. Signal was good with adjacent QRM on the
low side of the signal. (Chuck
Bolland, May 8, 2012)
Bolivia, 6134.909, Radio Santa Cruz, 0208-0210 Rechecked Santa Cruz just
now and heard music until 0210
when the music stops and the signal drops off the air. Signal was at a good
level. (Chuck Bolland, May 8, 2012)

Bolivia, 4699.231, Radio Santa Miguel, 1000-1010, Too weak to copy, but
still can hear a threshold signal with Spanish comments from a female. At
1002 a male also heard commenting. This is followed with some music.
Signal was threshold with plenty of noise. (Chuck Bolland, May 9, 2012)
Peru, 4746.91, Radio Huanta Dos Mil, 1003-1015, Noted a male in steady
Spanish
language comments. This is also a threshold signal with no chance of
hearing an
ID due to the threshold quality of the signal. (Chuck Bolland, May 9, 2012)
Peru, 4826.435, Radio Sicuani, 1008-1015, With a very, very weak signal here
and
an occasional word or two making it through, noted this threshold signal of
Sicuani
this morning. (Chuck Bolland, May 9, 2012)
Bolivia, 6134.822, Radio Santa Cruz, 1015-1030, Noted a male and female
talking
with each other in Spanish language. Signal is not very good this morning
as the
contain of the comments is too low to understand. Plus there's a automatic
signal
just next to Santa Cruz's signal causing a lot of trouble. Santa Cruz
however, stayed
at a poor to fair level. (Chuck Bolland, May 9, 2012)
Indonesia, 9680.038, RRI Jakarta, 1020-1035, At tune in, noted steady Indo
type music. Between the individual tunes, a female comments and converses
with listeners
using the telephone. The signal remained good during the period. (Chuck
Bolland,
May 9, 2012)
Note: VOI was Nil Heard on 9525.998 KHz this morning.
