GREECE 11645 ERT Avlis has a problem on its 3rd tx now ? ERT ERA5 Avlis in German missed on Sun June 1st too, according report on A-DX ng item. Today I checked that foreign language channel, regular on air 0500-1000 UT, but txion missed again totally. ERT ERA5 Greek was on air at same time on 9420 and 15630 kHz. From 1100 UT ERT ERA5 Greek was on air again on two channels only: ERT Greek on 9420 powerhouse, and 9935 carried the usual ERA3 Makedonias Thessaloniki relay 1100-2300 UT. But 3rd channel 15630 kHz was empty again. June 2. John, may you can ask the ERT staff? ROMANIA RRI Tiganesti solved their 2nd tx problem on June 1 at 2100 UT. Today June 2nd noted French 1000-1056 on two channels again, 11830 and 15380, as well as German at 100 UT on 9525 and 11775 kHz. FRANCE R Algerienne HQ TEST relays via Issoudun noted on May 26 to 29 only. IRAN 13789.95 IRIB in Arabic is on odd frequ daily, noted around 0620 UT with S=4 signal.

Czech Republic, 6080, 0330-0350 Noted a program of English language features such as Letter Box and news. Also music was presented during the period. Signal was good. (Chuck Bolland, June 2, 2008) Cuba, 6180, Radio Havana Cube, 0344-0400, With an English broadcast at this time, noted news, comments and features. One portion of the time was filled with Arnie describing the solar power program in Cuba. It was very interesting. Signal was good. (Chuck Bolland, June 2, 2008) Russia, 5920, Radio Rossii, Petropavlovsk-Kamchatskiy, 1000-1031, With a pretty good signal this Monday morning, noted a period of news and features in the Russian Language. Periodically a canned ID was let loose as Radio Rossii by a female and other times by a male. At 1028, a tune by Neal Young was heard. Signal was good. (Chuck Bolland, June 2, 2008) Mariana Islands, 9575, Voice of America (pres), 1040-1110, Was curious who or what the carrier was between Radio Australia's transmissions on 9570 and 9580 KHz. So I tenderly tuned it in and heard Chinese Language comments (actually it was Mandarin) there. Sometimes English words were heard. In the background, I heard Firedrake music. Although the VOA broadcast is scheduled until 1200 UTC, it either faded out or dropped off the air at 1100 today? Firedrake however, continued to broadcast. VOA must of had transmitter problems because at about 1106, the broadcast of Mandarin retured to the air. VOA's signal was fair to poor.

** ARGENTINA. RAE must have got its stolen feeder cable replaced, after being knocked off the air over the weekend, for June 2 at 2144 I heard a tango, and that would not be Morocco, then talk in German as scheduled this hour. Besides, the frequency was way off, 15343.9 or so; 2150 some Andean music for balance, 2159 IS and Japanese ID, then greeting listeners in Spanish, French, English, German (? fade), Portuguese, Italian, Arabic, Japanese. Finally at 2203 decided which language to stick with, Spanish, and opened with frequencies as 15345, 6060, address of studio, phone number, postal address, C.C. 555, 6000 WAS Buenos Aires --- that`s what it sounded like, but WRTH says C1000WAF, which sounds almost the same! e-mail rae @ radionacional.gov.ar Heard no het at all from Morocco which normally stays on until just after 2200, so RAE was fair and clear (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** AUSTRALIA [and non]. 13630, June 2 at 2133 came across Oz accent so assumed it was CRI, especially since they were giving quick weather info for various cities in Asia including Pyongyang, Seoul, Phnom Penh and even Siem Reap, MW hosts conversing, played ``She`s Not There`` by The Zombies, 2137 stox including NASDAQ, so it must be the business-obsessed Chicom, especially since CRI is relayed by Mali on 13630 at this hour, right? Wrong: then mentioned radioaustralia.net so I look it up. Yes, RA is on 13630 Shep at 21-23, 65 degrees toward us, despite CRI via Mali also supposed to be on 13630 at 1930-2230, but no trace of it; anyway, that changes from English to French at 2130, per Aoki (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA. Following up earlier item about RHC collision with RNZI DRM --- RHC is not in fact on 11680 in the local afternoons, nothing there at 2119 check June 2, so the collision of concern is only after 0300 when NZ DRM 11670-11675-11680 takes over from Kuwait, not vice versa as I implied in previous report (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CZECHIA. R. Prague, 11600 direct, with usual surprisingly good signal into NAm, June 2 at 2130 opening English with news primarily of that country. This is 310 degrees, 100 kW from Litomysl for Mexico, CE USA, E Canada. Recheck at 2157 with French ID and starting transmission schedule in irrelevant French, but cut off the air before they could get into it. Good idea (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** EGYPT [and non]. Big het on WEWN 11550, Monday June 2 at 2114 during relay of R. Vaticano in Spanish. Cairo`s European service is still colliding after several weeks of inaxion, and I bet it stays this way for the rest of A-08. Cairo was originally on the hi side of 11550, about 11550.1, but now it`s on the lo side, approximately 11549.5. It was very hard pull any audio from Egypt due to its own undermodulation, compared to WEWN`s normal modulation level. I did perceive a bit of ME music at 2114. The English sesquihour should have started at 2115; at 2125 I could tell a YL was speaking English, perhaps news. This intolerable situation continued past 2200, no doubt until Cairo closes around 2245 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** SAUDI ARABIA. BSKSA, ``The Buzz``, 11915, June 2 at 2128, with no intelligible audio, but could only hear it spreading plus/minus 5, or maybe a kHz more to the hi side (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTNEING DIGEST) ** SERBIA [non]. IRS, 6190, June 2 at 2358 with IS in the clear, tho weak; this is worst time of year to try to reach very far into NAm from Europe so long before sunset on 49m. Hope it`s better to the east. Yes: Brian Alexander in Pennsylvania was listening at the same time and says it was very good there. But the Croatians have the right idea, using 9 MHz via Germany, inbooming here on 9925 at same time. June 3 at 0002 could tell 6190 had English news; some ACI from music on XEPPM 6185, but avoidable by sidetuning upward and certainly a great improvement over head-on collision which it was doing for the first two months of A-08 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. Further chex of WRMI 9955 on June 2: must be over midday-absorption hump, for at 1950 UT, reception had improved so that WRN programming in English was intelligible. For those who would like to hear the stations lucky enough to get such a SW relay in NAm, without even asking for it, from http://www.wrn.org/listeners/schedules/schedule.php?ScheduleID=2 here is the schedule between 16 and 21 UT M-F: 1600 Radio New Zealand International: Korero Pacifica 1615 Vatican Radio 1630 Radio Slovakia International 1700 Polish Radio External Service 1730 Channel Africa: Africa Rise and Shine 1800 RTE Ireland Drivetime 1830 Radio Prague 1900 Radio Sweden 1930 Radio Australia 2000 Polish Radio 2030 KBS World Radio (Korea) Checked again at 2107, ``welcome back to Overnight AM``, as if they were just coming back from a break instead of starting the show, talking about ``the
