Bolivia, 4699.944, Radio San Miguel, 0930-0945, Noted a threshold signal
here of
music and Spanish recorded comments such as promos. Signal was too weak
for
me to glean any details, but at 0937 UTC it seemed to be improving slightly.
Not
enough to copy however. Back to music at 0938. (Chuck Bolland, September
14, 2012)
Peru, 5039.20, Radio Libertad, 0955-1005, Noted a fairly weak signal with
music and
Spanish comments and promos by a male which seemed to be recorded. Signal
was
rather weak not showing on the waterfall display but the audio was
threshold. (Chuck
Bolland, September 14, 2012)
Peru, 4774.978, Radio Tarma, 1004-1020, At tune in, noted a male with
promos followed
by typical Huaynos music. Signal went from a fair to poor by 1013, but
still audible for
awhile. Rechecked at 1040 UTC and signal had improved to a good level still
with Huaynos
music. (Chuck Bolland, September 14, 2012)
Bolivia, 6134.849, Radio Santa Cruz, 1015-1030, Noted a male and female in
their regular
morning program of instruction. Possibly a language course of some kind?
This continues
during the half hour. Signal was fair. (Chuck Bolland, September 14,
2012)
Philippines, 9400.00, FEBC, pres, 1030-1040, Noted a male and female in
Mandarin language
comments over music. Signal was poor by audible. (Chuck Bolland,
September 14, 2012)
Peru, 4747.114, Radio Huanta Dos Mil, 1036-1100, Noted a male in Spanish
Language
comments. Hadn't heard this earlier when I was on this band, so they must
have come
on later after 1000 UTC. Anyway the signal was fair during this period as
the male
continued to comment. Believe I heard a female in there also. (Chuck
Bolland,
September 14, 2012)
Unid, 4749.989, 1040-1100, Noted a signal being displayed only, on this
frequency. Could not
pickup any audio since it was too weak. Wondering as I continue to listen
for something, if
this may be the Indonesian, RRI Makassar, that was on this frequency in the
past? I will continue to monitor
this frequency with the hope that some audio eventually gets through. At
1112 UTC, no audio heard,
so decided to drop the coverage. (Chuck Bolland, September 14, 2012)
Peru, 4810.00, Radio Logos, 1055-1100 Noted a threshold signal here with
some music and
comments being heard over the noise. Unfortunately, I tuned in too late to
hear anything
from this station. However, an earlier check would have been just as bad
with the QRM
that is normally on this frequency or just above it. Signal remained
threshold today.
(Chuck Bolland, September 14, 2012)
China, Pres, 13430.029, Firedrake, 1130-1135, Noted Chinese type Opera
music without any breaks. Signal
was good and clear while over a automatic type signal. (Chuck Bolland,
September 14, 2012)
China, Pres, 13530.10, Firedrake, 1130-1340, Noted Chinese type Opera
music. This seems to be in parallel
with 13430 KHz signal. Quality was good. (Chuck Bolland, September 14,
2012)

** AUSTRIA. 6155, Sept 11 at 0546, classical music from ?1 during its brief
0500-0615 morning-only broadcast which still exists. During the past month I
have noted a gradual improvement in reception as to be expected with later and
later sunrises over Wien, but it`s still only poor. Same 300 kW Moosbrunn
facility carries AWR before 0500 in French, but that`s 220 degrees while ORF is
0/nondirexional per HFCC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BANGLADESH. 15105, awake in time at 1228 Sept 11, I hope to hear full
English broadcast from BB. Open carrier never starts IS and cuts off at 1230*,
nothing more, shux. Altho there was a JBA carrier from something at 1233. (AIR
DRM noise audible at 1255 on 15045-15055).
15105, at 1331, now there is S Asian singing in presumed Nepali service,
fluxuating S9 to S9+8. Conditions have improved greatly in past hour and/or
azimuth makes difference, but I suspect it was really off the air during
English.
15505, Sept 11 at 1402 check, S Asian songs averaging S9+13, no doubt the BB
Urdu service.
Note to editors: I know it`s confusing, but please try not to mix up these two
frequencies. This is the nominal pattern, 15105 at 1230 and 1315, 15505 after
1400, but even BB can mix them up, and if so will be reported as such, provided
I don`t typo, and if I do it will be corrected ASAP (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake, September 11 before 0500:
17170, poor-to fair at 0441; none lower or higher
Before 1300, a dizaine, one breaking the 18 MHz barrier:
18200, very poor at 1259-1300:07*
17170, JBA at 1240, very poor at 1257
17100, poor at 1257
16920, very good at 1241, 1257
16100, very poor at 1257
15900, very good at 1256
15555, very good at 1241 with flutter; good at 1257 and still at 1302
14960, VP to JBA at 1255 (good SOH keeps avoiding Colombia on 14950)
14700, good at 1255
12980, JBA at 1254; none in the 13s
Before 1400:
15900, very good at 1342; none in the 16s, 17s
15605, good at 1342 plus propeller noise
15490, good at 1342, het on lo side
14960, JBA at 1345
14700, very good at 1345
13920, very poor at 1345
13850, very good at 1345, in contrast
13530, very good at 1346
12670, good at 1347
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CROATIA [non]. 7375, Sept 11 at 0447, Croatian (not ``Croation`` as I
sometimes see it misspelt) pop music, fluttery via Germany. For the record,
back on S-12 frequency ex-9925 since Sept 7, HRT among a few broadcasters to
observe an S-subseason, but it does make sense propagationally. Latest HFCC
shows the overlapping 100 kW Wertachtal transmissions are:
22-03 255 degrees to C & S America, Caribbean
23-01 300 degrees to USA & E Canada & Mexico
01-03 315 degrees to USA & Canada & Mexico
03-05 330 degrees to Western USA & Canada & Mexico
So between 23 and 03 there are two transmitters which must be synchronized,
including during the 0200 English (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 15340, Sept 11 at 1341, RHC is cutting on and off the air numerous
times, vs HCJB Australia (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. 9526-, Sept 11 at 1252 and 1350, no signal from VOI (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KOREA SOUTH [non]. 9650, Sept 11 at 1249, KBS World Radio playing a bit of
``Palladio`` music like RFA does in Chinese, amid a talk about Tae Kwan Do; SAH
from presumed N. Korea but its modulation is over.
We`d better enjoy KBS while we can in North America, as Sackville will be gone
by the end of A-12, and I have not been able to find out about any
replacements. In B-12 KBS does plan to continue relays via UK, France, UAE, and
a new one via French Guiana for Spanish at 03-04 on 15400, to NW S America, but
nothing toward North America in English.
So I asked Kevin O`Donovan, who provides the ``Listening Tips`` each Saturday
from Farmington NM if he had any info? He replied Sept. 8:
``Glenn, It was mentioned on the show a couple of months ago that when
Sackville closes they will use their own transmitters in Korea to broadcast to
North America. I sent an email to the producer for an update. If they still
plan on using their own transmitter in Korea I hope it's in the morning. A
couple of decades ago their broadcast at 1215-1315 on 9750 came in clear.
However their evening broadcast on 15575 was not dependable (which caused them
to end that and use Sackville during the evenings). I'll let you know what I
hear from them`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KURDISTAN [non]. 11510, Sept 11 at 0423, Kurdish singing, poor signal,
almost all music until 0500 from V. of Kurdistan, still registered as UKRAINE
site. No reply from Ludo Maes to my inquiry about whether there has been a site
change and the current correct schedule, ex-11530. However, Bill Bingham in
South Africa was still hearing presumed Denge Mezopotamya on 11530, Sept 10 at
1756-1900* (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MAURITANIA. 7245, Sept 11 at 0447, IGIM is on and chanting, poor signal.
Decided to be on the air tonight; you never know (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 960, Sept 11 at 0504 UT, dead air from local KGWA, so I
null the carrier and start to hear an understation, but KG resumes at 0505.
Come to think of it, they often default to dead air around local midnight so
this is more of a note to self to try again (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** SPAIN. 9650, UT Tue Sept 11 at 0444, REE Emisi?n Sefarad closing with
schedule, claiming this weekly 0415 broadcast is on 9690! And that the 0115 UT
Tue to S America is on 11780. 7-note IS other than the usual 10-note REE one,
aired once before closing. Was extremely strong signal, first noted somewhere
around 9460 in a receiver-overload mixture with VOV Sackville 9555, removed by
attenuation (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9479, Sept 11 at 1253, WTWW-1 is missing, still on 5755. During
summer the switch was occurring at 1200, but now apparently back to 1300 unless
this be an anomaly (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENIG DIGEST)
** U S A. 770, Sept 11 at 0507 UT, `Red Eye Radio` is starting, weak signal
from E/W, so my first suspect is KKOB NM. Yes, it`s the only affiliate on 770
per
http://redeyeradioshow.com/sectional.asp?id=24651
But now the usual dilemma: here near the null of Albuquerque toward WABC, is it
a remnant of the main 50 kW signal from the North Valley or the 230-watt
non-direxional night-only fill-in co-channel booster with no separate callsign
in Santa Fe? I`ll take the latter. This was about 13 seconds behind another RER
on 760, i.e. WJR (also on KFMB San Diego, but not until 0700 UT; never heard
here. See also 820 log.)
BTW, the station list above has very handy linx to the full program schedules
of each station (if they have one!), showing RER is also on KKOB`s substation
KTBL 1050 in Albuquerque, why? Well, it starts at 11 pm local there, while KKOB
doesn`t start until midnight weekdays, according to the schedule dated August
13, 2012, O yeah? This is Tuesday and it *is* on 770 already at 11+ pm MDT. Or
does this mean it`s really some other 770 station not yet on their roster? KTBL
stands for Talk-Business-Life featuring such wackos as Glenn Beck and Mike
Huckabee elsewhen (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 780, Sept 11 at 0514 UT, music under WBBM OTR; nulling WBBM, it`s
``16 Tons``, but not quite the bass resonance of the original Tennessee Ernie
Ford; 0517 ID as ``Songs you remember, KCEG 780``, into brief banjo tune. It`s
the new Pueblo CO station as widely reported, but my first official log of it.
NRC AM Log shows 720 watts at night, 24 hours ``The Ranch`` with C&W, so that
format has already changed. Night pattern at
http://transition.fcc.gov/ftp/Bureaus/MB/Databases/AM_DA_patterns/1424704-114686.pdf
shows major lobe to NNW, minor to SSE, and nulls of course toward Chicago and
Reno. Not much toward OK either. Luckily, KSPI Stillwater OK daytimer was not
burning its open carrier all night this time (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A. 820, Sept 11 at 0519, I notice another station with WBAP nulled, and
it`s also on `Red Eye Radio`! but about 5 sex behind WBAP. NRC AM Log lists one
other ``RER`` affiliate on 820, WWBA Largo FL which is 1 kW at night. Program
website
http://redeyeradioshow.com/sectional.asp?id=24651
confirms it`s the only other 820 affiliate. I was afraid I would have to click
on every 820 state on the map to be sure, but pick a state such as Florida and
the whole list appears, then easily searched. RER is the recently renamed
trucker show, ex-`Midnight Radio Network`, and it originates at WBAP (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. [Re previous report:] ``1010, Sept 5 at 1215 UT, station break
between gospel huxters, `We are 10-10 AM, KXEN, good news for Saint Louis`.
Sufficient signal I find hard to believe is the alleged temporary 350 watt
transmitter at WGNU in Illinois. Makes 6 bars on the DX-398 signal meter; what
about 50 kW KMOX at same time? Also 6 bars! But must have been in a fade, since
the latter soon increases to 8 bars. But then a portion of its power is wasted
on the IBOC sidebands. I wonder how the groundwave strength of KXEN seems in
the St Louis area now. Could be the temporary antenna setup favors skywave
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)``
Glenn, After hearing this on last week`s WOR program, I then asked KXEN about
this. This is what they said; you may repeat this according
to the GM!!
``Hi Artie - "KXEN is still broadcasting at 50 kW. The STA may never occur and
will be temporary if does happen." "Thanks for the email."
Dirk L. Hallemeier, Manager
5615 Pershing Ave., Ste. 12
St. Louis, MO 63112
314-454-0400 | F 314-448-4999`` (10 Sep via Artie Bigley, DXLD)
The original source for this item via DXLD 12-35 apparently concluded that the
FCC info was true; it seems that Special Temporary Authorizations are *very*
circumstantial. We`ve run into other STAs which are on the FCC records ``just
in case``, e.g. KOSU`s antenna site change to KWTV, which never had to happen
(Glenn Hauser, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1440, Sept 11 at 0457 UT, local ads mentioning Quincy for termite &
pest control, Habitat for Humanity. Since they didn`t pronounce it Quinzy, I
assume it is Illinois, not something around Boston such as WVEI Worcester MA;
i.e. WGEM, which is also about three times as close. I see this once great
station is now just an ESPN clone dedicated to the total waste of human
attention and resources known as stupid ballgames (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 860, Sept 11 at 0521 UT, tonetest of less than 1 kHz; from
strength and direxion it`s most likely my nearest, KKOW Pittsburg KS; why?
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1279.0, Sept 11 at 0458 UT, 1 kHz het against 1280 signals; not a
tone as nothing on 1281. Typical Cuban behavior, except this loops NE-SW.
Ideas? Of course, it`s not a TA channel either which would be 1278 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1610, Sept 11 at 0529 UT, I am pulling some Spanish thru the IBOC
noise from 1600, by sidetuning to 1608. Could it be CHHA Toronto, R. Voces
Latinas, which I have heard before? Then I hear ``malec?n`` mentioned, an
Habanan landmark, but not only there, so is it really a Cuban? Not // Rebelde
5025, FWIW. Can`t be sure of its own direxion since hearing it is more
dependent on minimizing the IBOC. At first, I get a null on that at NE/SW, so
must be coming from KEPN Colorado; a few minutes later, I get a null on the
IBOC noise at NW/SE, so now it must be coming from KATZ Missouri. No wonder
1610 is such a mess here with two 1600 IBOC stations at right angles! Then the
Spanish has faded away. This side of S America, the other possible 1610 SS is
XEUACH, but it signs off much earlier, right? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1650, Sept 11 at 0536 UT, I am getting Spanish preacher about
Apocalipsis in null of KCNZ Iowa (STILL no sign of KYHN OK as allegedly
reactivated), no doubt KBJD Denver, Radio Luz. When I turn back toward KCNZ I
also hear a different Spanish station underneath with music.
Is XEARZ/XEAZR (opinions differ) in Mexico City on the air now? It had been
making only sporadic appearances earlier this year.
Or am I finally hearing 850-watt KSVE El Paso TX? That fits for the format and
nulling as I don`t hear it at all when KBJD is clear in KCNZ null. A search of
IRCA DX Monitors back to 2004y shows NO logs of KSVE whatsoever tho it appeared
several times on lists of ballgame affiliates. Is it really on the air??
Someone closer, please check.
However, FCC AM Query shows the KSVE call on 1650 only started on
09/23/2008; it was KHRO from 02/25/2005 and KBIV from 09/04/1998. The KSVE
facility may have been on some other frequency before 9/23/08 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 11995, Sept 11 at 0423, 0438 and later, no signal from the usual
mystery carrier with hum. Meanwhile, Turkey 11980 was well audible (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Subject: [HCDX] Cape Perpetua, Oregon Cliffside DXing - Sept. 9th
Message-ID:
<canxu75hnn6hkpfgcama2w+jmy96xw3nf76hmand2x7_yudi...@mail.gmail.com>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1
Yesterday morning before sunrise I sought out the Cape Perpetua, Oregon
cliff that has served Gary DeBock so well with a flood of DU DX with his
Ferrite Sleeve Loop (FSL) antenna.
With Gary's encouragement and supply of a regular tuned FSL, and Chuck
Hutton's help with electrical formulas and initial impedance measurements,
I was able to convert the FSL into a broadband (non-tuned) loop for
capturing the entire band with Perseus SDR recordins. The antenna
accompanied me to Oregon, secured inside a container strapped to the roof
of our family's vacation vehicle.
The 7-inch FSL was converted to broadband use by the removal of the tuning
capacitor and the addition of a homebrew 1.6 to 1 turns ratio transformer
and a Wellbrook FLG100LN amplified Flag antenna module. (FSL >> 26/15 turns
on Amidon FT140A-J core >> input of FLG100LN >> receiver. Chuck calculated
the FSL's impedance as 3K ohms at 1.7 MHz; the Wellbrook's input impedance
is 1200 ohms.)
Here is a photo of the transport container, ready for DXing on the roof of
our SUV:

Photo of the modded loop:
https://www.box.com/s/14ucdam3me28xncfo34t
Tests at home showed that the antenna works perfectly well inside the box
on the roof of the SUV... there's no need to brave the wind, cold, and
possible rain outside on the side of the cliff! I did all my DXing from the
comfort of the driver's seat, with the computer and Perseus receiver on the
center console. I felt a bit guilty to be enjoying such comfort, knowing
that Gary had braved the cold, damp, and darkness at this very same spot!
Thanks for blazing the cliff DXing trail, Gary :^)
While still in Puyallup I was able to verify that the broadband FSL picks
up TP carriers (738 Tahiti) equally well as a full size Wellbrook K9AY
antenna. Based on this result I was fairly sure that the antenna would work
well in an actual DXpedition situation. See the annotated Perseus screen
shot:
https://www.box.com/s/t7r0kdzv8aj5jczum1ne
Loggings from the first morning of DXing (Sept. 9th) with the broadband
FSL were made from just 15 minutes of Perseus WAVs prior to local sunrise
at 1349 UTC; although I recorded up through 1400, most of the DX was gone
by 1355. I had expected DX to peak right around dawn and continue for a
time afterwards like usual at Grayland; instead, the peak DX was at the
moment I first turned on the receiver (1338 UTC). The same pattern
continued this morning (I still need to go through recordings from the
10th). Tomorrow I'm getting out there earlier, that's for sure!
Unlike Gary's visits to this location on Cape Perpetua, my DX
experience Sunday morning was nearly "all Japan, all the time". Even
many frequencies where low power Japanese outlets operate had some (low
level) audio.
It was quite the experience to receive the stations listed below, on a
small antenna strapped to the roof of a vehicle! I'll get to the Perseus
WAV files from this morning as soon as I'm able and report the results.
However, I need to fit it into time spent at the sunny Oregon beaches, the
beautiful coastal Oregon forest, and other non-DX distractions :^)

567 JAPAN JOIK Sapporo, lively Japanese music and talk by two announcers,
1338 UTC. Fair.
594 JAPAN JOAK Tokyo, with a powerhouse signal at 1342 and Japanese
announcers having a party, evidently, in the studio (laughing, clinking of
glasses, etc.)
612 UNID Faint signal of man talking in English at 1342. Possibly a
devotional reading or religious talk, so maybe Radio Rhema, NZ here.
630 NEW ZEALAND Radio National with low level signal and ID at 1400 by male.
657 NORTH KOREA, KCBS Pyongyang with boring talk by female in Korean at
1339 and pompous orchestral music at 1341. Strong signal.
666 JAPAN JOBK Osaka, noted parallel to 594 with "party time" atomosphere.
Fair signal at 1342.
693 JAPAN JOAB Tokyo. Male and female announcers with English lesson on the
topic of the history of witches(!) in different cultures. Excellent, strong
signal at 1338.
774 JAPAN JOUB Akita noted parallel 693 at 1340 and with a similarly strong
signal.
828 JAPAN JOBB Osaka; yet another loud and clear NHK2 parallel here, equal
strength to 693 and 774 at 1340.
891 JAPAN JOHK Sendai heard at 1339, parallel to 594 in Japanese. Poor to
fair at first but improving to good at 1344. Unidentified station noted in
background, possibly in Korean language.
918 JAPAN UNID station at 1338 to 1352, with good signal at times in
Japanese but fading out before 1400. Possibly JOEF Yamagata.
927 JAPAN UNID, a faint signal in Japanese noted here, with male and female
announcers, 1338-1355.
936 JAPAN UNID, yet another low power Japanese station frequency with
audio, but too weak to get any clues. Noted 1340-1344 only.
945 JAPAN UNID NHK1, with "party in the office" programming, parallel to
594. Poor to fair at peaks, around 1344 only.

announcers playing music and singing a tune in the studio.
1008 JAPAN JONR Osaka playing jazz music at 1342, then lively announcers in
Japanese. Signal ranged from poor to good.
1062 JAPAN UNID, a weak signal of Japanese talk, on this frequency where
numerous low power Japanese outlets are listed in PAL. Best reception
1342-1344.
1071 UNID, very weak signal at 1348, possibly of a sporting event with a
Japanese announcer, but I'm not sure of the language.
1089 JAPAN JOHB Sendai, parallel to 693 with discussion of the history of
witches in various cultures. Poor to fair at 1342.
1098 JAPAN UNID, another very weak signal of Japanese language here, at
1345.
1116 JAPAN UNID, more weak Japanese talk on a low power frequency, with
male and female announcer; best signal was poor-fair briefly at 1347.
1134 JAPAN JOQR Tokyo, good to very good signal 1340-1402. Japanese
announcers and brief music segments. Jingle and single time pip at 1400,
another jingle in a rock music style, followed by announcements or ID of
some type. Seemed to be fighting a Korean language signal at times,
presumed HLKC.
1143 JAPAN JOBR Kyoto at 1341, fair level, with female announcer and
Japanese talk.
1152 JAPAN UNID NHK2 station at 1338-1340, parallel to 693. Poor to fair.

1242 JAPAN JOLF, Tokyo, with Japanese male announcer 1340-1350. Poor to
fair.
1269 JAPAN UNID, threshold level Japanese talk at 1343; very weak signal
but definitely JJ.
1287 JAPAN JOHR Hokkaido, fair to good signal at 1338-1342 with male &
female announcers in Japanese, Japanese rock music at 1341, then back to
more lively talk. No sign of JOHR by 1400.
1314 JAPAN JOUF Osaka, fair level with woman announcer in Japanese, with
co-channel signal of orchestral and choral music in background (not Chinese
orchestral style).
1323 UNIDENTIFIED, an extremely weak, threshold level signal heard here
around 1349, possibly Japanese as it didn't sound tonal like the Chinese
language.
1332 JAPAN JOSF Nagoya, fading up from inaudibility to fair level at 1341
with female talk in Japanese.
1377 UNIDENTIFIED, threshold talk in possible Asian language heard briefly
1340.
1386 JAPAN UNID, NHK2 programming noted poor/fair 1340-1344; three 10 kw
NHK2 stations listed here. Much more interesting was the background station
on 1386, fading in and out with SE Asian folk music and singing, possibly
in Chinese. All signals faded after 1345, but 2+1 time pips heard at 1400.
The only Chinese stations listed for 1386 are low power outlets.
1413 JAPAN JOIF Fukuoka rising briefly to poor/fair level around 1343 only,
with talk by man and woman in Japanese.
1422 JAPAN JORF Yokohama, heard only at 1352-53 when a Japanese language
station rose to audibility for a short time. JORF is the only Japanese
station shown for 1422.
1476 UNIDENTIFIED, a threshold level station here at 1342-43, with a deep
voiced announcer. Maybe Japanese language, but the signal was too weak to
say for sure.
1548 AUSTRALIA 4QD Emerald, discussion at 1349 between two men in English
about the challenges of maintaining an education system in war-torn Syria.
Classical music heard up to 1359 announcements and mentions of Radio
Australia and ABC Radio. ABC trumpet fanfare 1400 and into world news. Good
signal around 1350, but QRM'd by a strong KKOV 1550, Vancouver WA.
1566 SOUTH KOREA HLAZ, Cheju at an excellent level of hymns and chants at
1338, with Japanese language announcers. Multiple FEBC IDs at 1341-42.
Break in transmission 1344, then sign-on in Chinese language with a much
weaker signal (beam change to Asia).
1593 JAPAN UNID, likely JOQB Niigata here as it's more northerly than JOTB
Matsue. Fair level of Japanese talk and music 1342 with programming NOT
parallel other NHK2 outlets.
