After a pause, 1232 sign-on by YL, program `Amanecer Austral` (southern dawn), then talk mixed with same happy theme song heard yesterday, ``Soy Feliz``. 1242, LRA36 ID in passing with music. Signal is a bit better than April 14, reading S9 to peaks of S9+10. 4-kHz het from 15480 is also stronger so helps to side-tune-down a bit. Still good with mostly music at 1305, 1329 chex, but by 1358 has declined to JBA, S4-9 at best. Perhaps peak reception area has shifted to west coast as Ron Howard was getting it after 1408 yesterday but weaker and weaker. The April 14 audio clip I linked in previous report via Roberto Scaglione, he says was made ``in Argentina by our contributor Marcello Caneva``, and must have started around 1230. Listening to that http://www.bclnews.it/110414-15476-1230z.mp3 there is a lot of spoken info. The three women announcing ``en la producci?n y conducci?n`` are Lidia Guzm?n, M?nica Garc?a [the 41-year-old nurse], and Vanesa ---. Their husbands are involved in base support., etc. They agree they are at 63 degrees south, and the schedule after this `first broadcast` is M-F 9:30-12 [1230-1500 UT]. Also mentioned names of several other people involved including: Direcci?n, Teniente Coronel Guillermo Bolger(?); Coordinaci?n General de la Radio, Teniente Coronel Pablo Gonz?lez. Phone 0810-222-0760 (or 0770?), and added 02-16, as extension? Totally different from the one in WRTH 2011. E-mail LRA36 @ infovia.com.ar which is the address I have used twice recently without any reply. Clarifying the phone number above, Horacio A. Nigro in Uruguay says: According to http://www.marambio.aq/radioarcangelsangabriel.html the phone nr. is 0810-222-0770. There appears another email address: lra36espera...@yahoo.com.ar I`m afraid much of the info on that page should be considered historical rather than current. I wonder how much power they are using now, what kind of antenna and direxionality? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** ARGENTINA. 6060, April 15 at 1024, Andean music, very weak compared to Nikkei 6055 adjacent. Then talk on 6060 also sounds like Japanese. 1030 timesignal and continues talk in Japanese. Thought it might be from Asia, until consulted Aoki, not HFCC, reminding us that RAE does do Japanese here at 10-11. I wonder how well that makes it to Japan, considering the competition; see also JAPAN (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** AUSTRALIA [and non]. 6020, April 15 at 0944, heavy collision between R. Australia, and RNW in Dutch via BONAIRE, at 0930-1000, reduced weekends to only -0957. I am rather amazed that several stations choose to collide with RA on 6020 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** BRAZIL. 11780, RNA, April 14 at 2354 as I tuned across was finishing a promo about inaugurating a new 50 kW MW transmitter at 7 am local on April 18 for RNB, then ID for this as ``R?dio Nacional Amaz?nia,

[HCDX] Zimbabwe
Acting Chairman Njabulo Ncube of the Media Institute of Southern Africa in Zimbabwe told VOA Studio 7 reporter Ntungamili Nkomo that the new licenses are good news, but that his organization wants to see independent broadcasters issued licenses without delay. Radio and television licenses are issued by the Broadcasting Authority of Zimbabwe, which was sued recently by Community Radio Harare which asked the High Court to order the authority, which has called for license applications since 2004, to do so immediately. In the meantime the state-controlled Zimbabwe Broadcast Corporation continues to enjoy a radio and television monopoly with the exception of offshore broadcasters such as VOA's Studio 7, Shortwave Radio Africa based in the United Kingdom and the Voice of the People which is based in South Africa and broadcasts over Radio Netherlands airwaves.(VOA News) ---[Start Commercial]- Order your WRTH 2011: http://www.hard-core-dx.com/redirect2.php?id=wrth2011 ---[End Commercial]--- Hard-Core-DX mailing list Hard-Core-DX@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/hard-core-dx http://www.hard-core-dx.com/ ___ THE INFORMATION IN THIS ARTICLE IS FREE.

[HCDX] Glenn Hauser logs April 15-16, 2011
** ALBANIA. 13625, April 16 at 0527 just after monitoring R. Dabanga on 13620 --- see SUDAN [non], I notice that a station has appeared on 13625 which was vacant a few minutes earlier: playing jazz music, variations on ``Hit the Road, Jack``. What in the world? YL then mentions Willie Nelson, Wynton Marsalis. Shortly, several IDs for Radio Tirana, and a www. website; ``Ju Flet Tirana``, songs. Fair-good signal, flutter, good modulation. Slightly on the low side of 13625- compared to Vatican on 11625 (which could have been on the hi side). But Tirana cut off 13625 at 0536:40*. This also explains my previous ``UNIDENTIFIED. 13625, April 6 at 0518 open carrier between Dabanga 13620 and Australia 13630, and I think there was some modulation on it before 0515; nothing listed by HFCC or Aoki (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)`` R. Tirana is not scheduled on 13625 at this time, only for the English to NAm at 1430-1500 Mon-Sat. Evidently tests are carried out much earlier relaying domestic service in Albanian, which really does not start on SW until 0630 on 7390 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** BULGARIA. 11700, April 15 at 0129 ID as ``Radio Bulgarie Internationale``, so we have another RBI? In English it`s just R. Bulgaria. Checking their French site, http://bnr.bg/sites/fr/Pages/default.aspx We also see only ``Radio Bulgarie`` and no Internationale, so maybe the announcer was really saying non-capitalized ``internationale`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CHINA. Firedrake April 16: 7970, poor at 1242; a new one tnx to SOH, and not on 8400, to 1300* 9170, sounded like Firedrake music, but not // others, and 1300 CJKT spoken ID. Aoki says the CNR-6 service from Beijing 491 site 10300, fair at 1257-1259* off a minute before not // 7970 14700, VG at 1326 and // VP 7970 back on 15670, poor at 1328 mixing with something, i.e. RFA Tibetan via Tajikistan, and // 14700; no others up to 17 MHz by 1330 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX ISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA [and non]. Re my previous report: ``17560, April 14 at 2019, RHC Arabic still colliding with VOA French via Bonaire, and at the moment way atop it here, far outside the target zone of both.`` --- my original log notes do show Arabic, but RHC should be Portuguese during this semihour, then Arabic from 2030. Not sure now whether it was my mistake or theirs. 6010, 6050, 6060, 6150, April 16 at 0547 RHC English playing some really wild avant-garde music including various percussive sounds and video-game firing noises; 0550 cut to `Ed Newman` promoting their `Real Audio` linx on website, as if it were something new and we needed that because of poor SW reception on the overkilled 49m band. He insists on calling this Real Audio even tho it`s Windows Media! Then 2 YLs mumble their names with final ``newscast`` starting with, what else, Posada Carriles not being prosecuted by the US as Cuba demands, or extradited to Venezuela. 13880, first noted on leapfrog mixing product, but much stronger on 13780 and 13680, April 16 at 1323 RHC seems live from rally on the Plaza mentioning also broadcast by R. Cadena Habana and R. Metropolitana, commemorating some event 50 years ago today (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** FRANCE. 13695, April 16 at 0526, French much stronger than RA 13690. In many nights of bandscanning around this time, first time I have heard something here beside Australia, tho RFI supposedly scheduled since A-11 began at 0500-0600, 500 kW, 155 degrees from Issoudun (and also at 04-05, 136 degrees) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** JAPAN. 9695, April 16 at 1250 song about Fukushima, apparently by an amateur singer, then Thai announcement, from R. Japan (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** KOREA SOUTH [non]. 9650, KBSWR via CANADA, April 16 at 1253-1256 with ``listening tips`` from Kevin O`Donovan, Farmington NM, including: R. Bulgaria tests coming up; Ozyradio 5050, barely heard in W NAm around 1000 --- I wonder where he read about those? He never credits his sources. AFAIK, Ron Howard, DXLD, is the only one who has heard it over here so far. Also apps for DW and a repeater-finder; NBA and NHL playoffs on XM/Sirius. A few weeks ago I didn`t hear Kevin on this Saturday slot, but he`s still there (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** MONACO [non]. 7220, April 16 at 0545 TWR chime IS, into Slavic language, fair signal. HFCC shows 0545-0615 daily in Polish/Czech, 100 kW, 65 degrees from ``Monte Carlo`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** NIGERIA [non]. 21480, April 16 at 1410, Hamada Radio International via Wertachtal, fair signal, but no sign of extra frequency 17860 as scheduled, which was on the air April 15 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** RUSSIA. 14268-USB, April 16 at 0539, RL3A working all over in contest, including a TI, ZL, VE7, W`s; uses fonetix Radio London, and also Romeo Lima.

Dies wuerde bestaetigen, dass man die Tuerkische Sprache mit QSA4 und die zweite Sprache nur mit QSA1 in der IKM empfaengt. (Report from Uli DJ9KR - IARU bandwatch monitoring, and German State Frequ Control BNetzA, April 14) (wb, wwdxc BC-DX TopNews April 16) SLOVAK REP 9340 and 1 unIDs. Re Unidentified: 9340, R?, 0409 UT on 11 April with international news in English, ID in Arabic. A song that seems Slavic. Person 'kabaye Saat' with talks in Arabic I supposed as R Prague due to the song. For April 12 on 9340 kHz is off. (Zacharias Liangas-GRC, dxld) Nothing on 9340 at any time in HFCC or Aoki; a typo? Prague?? I don't think so; they are gone from SW except WRMI (gh, DXLD) April 15, 9340, Miraya FM, finally IDed today: On at 0426 UT with talks by OM in Arabic then a HoA song, a title 'Mahaz Burasili' then OM with ID, S6, max 44434. Found to be in \\ 9670 (main with signal S4) and 1 (S5) Notice that this signal is not heard everyday!! (Zacharias Liangas-GRC, hcdx) So 9340 and 1 are apparently matching spurs +/- 330 kHz from fundamental 9670 kHz, presumably still Rimavska Sobota, SLOVAKIA. Don't see how any additional frequencies could be involved, like 9505 or 9835 halfway betweens. Could ZL's earlier 1 unID at a completely different time be something else? Miraya FM via IRRS Milano is at 0300-0600 only. There have been several previous reports of broadcast spurs on 1 kHz.

As I was listening, I recognized the IS but couldn't recall what station. It was still too distorted and too weak to copy the voice ID at the time. Doing a search of the freq, I saw that V.O. Turkey, R. Netherlands, R. Cairo, DW, and V.O. Russia have all been using this freq recently. I then tried to match up the IS w/those stns on the http://www.intervalsignals.net/ website but didn't have any luck. While scrolling through the list of countries, just by pure chance I stopped at the Philippines and clicked on FEBC. Amazingly that was the IS and it matched up perfectly Listened to my recording again and could then copy the FEBC Radio. ID between IS repetitions. Of all the countries/stations IS's on the intervalsignals website, its incredible I found the right one so quickly out of the blue!!! (16 April) GUAM 11860 KSDA *1330 signal on at 1329, W w/EG ID and QTH, M w/ID, then into rel. Pop-like mx. Poor w/slop QRM from 11865. (16 April) GUAM 12035 KSDA *1600 signal on and usual EG ID and QTH, M w/ID, pgm rundown, then into pleasant rel. mx. Fair signal and fairly clear. (16 April) AUSTRIA 11955 AWR 2106 W tlking w/heavy African accent in EG over soft instru. rel. mx. AWR Ghana ID by W at 2108, then choral song. Family Affairs pgm. 2117 addr AWR Ghana, Valley View University, P.O. Box AF595, Adenta-Accra, Ghana, and e-mail a...@gvu.edu.gh or phone 233-208704532. Mx then. Spiritual tlk and more mx. 2127 M w/ID and contact info again. Trumpet call and mx, then signal off at 2129:00. Good signal and clear. 100% copy. (16 April) That's all for the moment.

[HCDX] Glenn Hauser logs April 16-17, 2011
** ALBANIA [and non]. 13640, April 16 at 2023 check, heavy collision at equal levels still between R. Tirana, rightful occupant, English to North America, and usurper All India Radio, French to Europe. RT is aware of the problem now ongoing for a semimonth, and being urged to move, but the bureaucracy takes its time; meanwhile it`s unlistenable (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA [and non]. Big day in Habana, tough luck for RHC languages --- RHC has blown away its regular programming today April 16, for live coverage of the opening of the sixth Communist Party Congress (only five before now?). Raúl just started speaking at 2000+ on 11760, weaker 12020, 12040, frequencies which are normally off the air at this hour, and on 17560, Spanish instead of French before 20, instead of Portuguese after 20, and colliding as usual with VOA Bonaire in French until 2030. It`s a momentous day, he says, also 50th anniversary of the victory at Playa Girón. For the other side of the story, at 1959 I checked Radio Martí on 11930, audible above the jamming: but they were talking about exoplanets. How far away can you get from today`s Cuba? Tnx to a tip from Joe Buch, here`s CO2-caca on NBC Nightly News, a 3-minute video: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3032619/ns/nightly_news/#42623970 Coro only makes a brief appearance toward the end, but, that`s him, about repelling the invaders a semicentury ago (Glenn Hauser, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** GREECE. 15630, April 16 at 1759, rock music from VOG, Greek announcement, poor signal. No Metropolitan Opera live this week! It was too good to be true, on the SW air last Saturday only due to a strike disrupting normal programming (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 9385, kept checking WWRB from time to time the afternoon of April 16, since all morning it was carrying E-Persian Radio from Los Angeles, instead of Brother Stair, as in previous report. Yes, still with EPR at 1800, 1951, except for brief legal ID break at 2000, then Persian drama(?). Persian pop music at 2047. By next check 2346, 3185 was on instead, and STILL it`s Persian music, poor signal in noise this early, and no BS except on WWCR 9980. UT Sunday April 17: 0126, 3186 now good with Persian song, and 0336 still Persian music. Meanwhile, WWRB`s regular programming in English is now running on 2390/5050. Will EPR be on 3185 all night, and Sunday morning on 9385 again? Since this has gone on for at least 15 hours, I am beginning to think that just possibly, it`s intentional and WWRB has deliberately replaced BS with EPR. But it`s still quite a coincidence that they are on the same transponder. What does the WWRB website program schedule show? Ha, it hasn`t been updated in months, still showing WORLD OF RADIO et al. on 3185, no listing for 2390, and BS all day on 9385. Scenario: even if a human being is operating WWRB rather than just automation, they can`t stand to listen to him, and haven`t even turned up a monitor all day to discover they are broadcasting something else. Is anyone paying attention in Manchester, or Walterboro? Overcomer also still thinx it`s on 9385 and 3185: ftp://www.overcomerministry.org/RadioSchedule/Short%20Wave%20Radio.html I can`t help but wonder if I am the only listener who has noticed this or who ``cares``. If Stair had any audience at all, they would surely be deluging him with complaints and inquiries about this strange programming on ``his`` frequencies, obviously work of the devil. Meanwhile, spread the word to all your Persian friends while this last (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ### ---[Start Commercial]- Order your WRTH 2011: http://www.hard-core-dx.com/redirect2.php?id=wrth2011 ---[End Commercial]--- Hard-Core-DX mailing list Hard-Core-DX@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/hard-core-dx http://www.hard-core-dx.com/ ___ THE INFORMATION IN THIS ARTICLE IS FREE.
