Strange phenomenon here in Feira de Santana with the spread, in the early
hours of Saturday. In the majority of the tracks only a strong carrier
without modulation. In some cases, just outside the frequency could be heard
a little modulation. Due to noise at night, this log aims to only a check of
some stations in the various tracks. The comments on collisions are in terms
of listening done in Feira de Santana.

** BIAFRA [non]. V. of Biafra International, via WHRI 17520, May 8 at 1941,
another Friday on the same frequency. The Orator was talking about the
differences between Islamic and Christian regions of Nigeria --- emirs had
divine rights, but during the period of military rule, a land use decree left
eastern people landless, unlike the Yoruba and Hausa. Sufficient reception
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. 11935, CRI Russian with Chinese lesson, fair May 9 at 1253-1257*.
This is intended for DVR, 37 degrees from SZG site, so also USward (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA [non]. Sat on 11785 before 1300 Saturday May 9 to see what would
happen. At 1258 could not really make out anything from VOI, just voanews.com
spelled out, mixed with CNR1 ChiCom echoing jamming; at 1259 on pops WHRI with
OCS in progress, sign-on, and 1300 into Hmong Lao Radio overriding everything,
so strong that it overloads the FRG-7 and audio can be heard elsewhere on 25m
unless attenuated. Meanwhile open 9525 goes begging for VOI to return (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PHILIPPINES [and non]. During a routine check for possible reception of
IRRS/IPAR via SLOVAKIA on 7290, Friday May 8 at 2010, not really expecting to
hear it in CNAm, I was surprised to find Russian on 7285. The CRI relay via
Albania to Europe is scheduled, but supposed to be in English. I figured that
must have changed, or got the wrong program feed, but uplooking it later, there
is indeed a Russian broadcast during this hour on 7285, from R. Liberty via
Tinang, to Siberia except the most easterly part, 21 degrees so also usward ---
something I would not be expecting to hear either, over a midday path.
Meanwhile, IRRS has cut back to stop 7290 at 2000* and WORLD OF RADIO at 2030
has been canceled, even on their webcast (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SOLOMON ISLANDS. SIBC, 9541.5, May 9 at 1240, American-accented YL being
interviewed about freedom of speech, Michael Savage being banned from the UK.
This time I was able to match it with BBCWS via Singapore 9740, running about
one second behind that. R4 readability on 9541.5, not bad; still het from
weaker China 9540, and unlike other days, no DentroCuban jamming on 9545
against nothing (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. VOA Greenville, 17895, May 8 at 1938 in Spe-cial Eng-lish report on
pope in Jordan; modulation noticeably distorted. Is anyone paying attention at
the site? Or being so close to the transmitters, can they tell when something
is amiss? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WTJC, 9370, May 8 at 2007 hymn, extremely distorted modulation with
continuous heavy crackle. A station their engineers(?) can be proud of (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** VENEZUELA [non]. 11705, May 9 at 1303, RNV in Spanish with program summary,
i.e. opening the transmission hour, and then ``Cortes Informativos``. Has this
been moved one hour later to start at 1300 instead of 1200? No, chopped off at
1304:50*, frustrating bytuners who must have been just getting into RNV`s
program. Evidently the 1200 hour is played back on the program feed line at
1300, and the sloppy Cuban engineers left it on past closing a few minutes
earlier. Hint: even if you can`t turn off the transmitter immediately the
program is over, you should at least turn off the modulation, which BTW was
somewhat low and distorted (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

Re:
I know I didn't DXed shortwave since the last weekend, but I would like to
thank Glenn Hauser for having helped me in identifying the FEBA religious
Arabic broadcaster on the 31 meter band ! I would like to know more about FEBA
! What is the purpose of this station ? Is it a new SW broadcaster ?... Is it
related in a way or another to TWR (Trans World Radio) ? Is FEBA considered as
shortwave DX catche or as a major international broadcaster, therefore a pest ?
I'm puzzled on the difference between shortwave DX and SWLing... I guess I'm
somewhere in the middle, although closer to a SWLer than to an FM, shortwave
and mediumwave or longwave DXer !
FEBA is an old SW broadcaster on the air for many years. It started out in the
Seychelles, and then lost its license there, or it became too expensive to
operate, so now it buys time on a number of different transmitter sites. Far
East Broadcasting Association it originally meant as an offshoot of FEBC in the
Philippines/USA --- even tho it specializes in Africa and parts of Asia closer
than ``Far East``. It`s just another gospel huxter. No transmission from the
250 kW units in Rwanda can be considered real DX, if that makes a difference to
you. It`s separate from Trans World Radio, tho there is a certain degree of
cooperation among them and others in specializing in certain exotic languages.
They all have a common goal: changing people`s religions from whatever to
Protestant Christianity.

Thanks a lot for answering on this issue !
I think if I want to chase real DX, I should purchase a 90 meters tropical
band antenna from Australia... I never managed to pick up anything useful on
90 meters, other than a REE relay in Costa Rica a few years ago and, of
course, CHU on 3330 kHz...
If you have some time available offhand, I'll gladly appreciate if you could
do a 90 meters bandscan from your QTH to see what I could expect if I
purchase a loop for this band... The PK LW loop is just the first step of
the upgrade of my listening facilities !
Thanks again for your input, for the time devoted in making the DX Listening
Diggest and for having helped me with my Venezuelan article a few years ago
!
May the good DX be with you !

Hello again !
In spite of the rising solar activity, I'm getting fair to good signals from
both France-162 and Morocco-171. However, NOTHING else, not even Iceland-189
like I noted in my previous repport.
May the good DX be with you !
