Male in Spanish comments using the echo effect, I thought that had gone out in the nineties, then back to music. CODAR isn't this high on the band and even weak signals are easier to listen to without it. Radio Libertad was poor.

At 1200 UT on Dec 13 China National Radio 1st program from Lingshi noted in progress co-channel. Instead of North Korea Reform Radio test broadcast the usual VTC Merlin GUITAR pause music played over and over again continously in background underneath via the supposed to be Russian transmitter site. VTC Guitar music stopped at 12.28:01 UT. Feeder line seemingly from Japan via VTC Merlin control room in London, to TRW TV Radio Wave control room in Moscow, to the Russian Far Eastern Asia tx center. 73 wb - south-west Germany RUSSIA Additional R. Free North Korea - Jayu Bukhan Bangsong transmission. I can receive R. Free North Korea-Jayu Bukhan Bangsong on 7510 kHz at 2000-2030 UT from Dec 7.

Wolfgang B?schel had been reporting R. Solh on new 13830 // 15265, but no sign of it here when checked Dec 12 at 1425, Dec 13 at 1430; still on 15265 as usual (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** ALBANIA. Missing the day before, R. Tirana back on 13640, Dec 11 at 1531 check giving usual English transmission schedule; undermodulated and flutter on signal, so hard to hear. BTW, members of the dxld yahoogroup can now see a folder of photos from R. Tirana, including the Director Ms Zamira Koleci, Monitoring Center head Mrs Drita ?i?o, the two English announcers Klara and Artan, and the transmitters (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** AUSTRALIA. Reception of R. Australia at 1500 Dec 11: best on 7240, next best on 5995, and a poor third, 9590 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA. This is hard to quantify, but it sounds to me like the DentroCuban Jamming Command has stepped up its intensity, as heard Dec 11 at 0707 on 5980 and 6030 against R. Mart?, a more solid ``wall of noise``. Anyone else notice this? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** GUIANA FRENCH. DRM on 9455-9460-9465 where I had not noticed it before, Dec 12 at 0649; not NZ since that is still on 9865-9870-9875. 9460 was registered as 345 degrees from TDF GUF at 05-07 from 11 to 13 December only, so presumably you will no longer hear it; what programming was it carrying, and why? After a few weeks on 15790-15795-15800, which replaced 17870-17875-17880, DRM missing Dec 12 and 13 but at 1438 Dec 13, instead on new 13860-13865-13870, which I can only assume is the latest replacement. But is it on the official DRM schedules? Of course not! Nor in HFCC. More RFO Guyane programming? Nothing about this yet on the DRMNA yg. I am amused when I find a DRM transmission just by tuning around, without even a DRM receiver, before those who are supposedly ``in the loop``. BTW, Sofia, Bulgaria is registered for DRM at 04-14 on 13865-13870-13875, but AFAIK is yet to start any DRM (Glenn Hauser, OK, Dec 13, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** INDONESIA. VOI back on 9526.0 after many weeks` absence, with hum and het from something on 9525, Dec 13 at 1441 with Qur`an, 1449 to OM talk in Arabic, morphing into Indonesian but still about Islam frequently mentioning that and Allah. 1500 no ID heard but news headlines, 1501 sign-off Suara Indonesia by YL, anthem to 1504* The 14-15 hour of VOI is scheduled in Indonesian, and I thought it might be back on at 1600 for Arabic, but not heard then. Earlier language hours include 08 English, 09 Malay, 10 Thai, 11 Mandarin, 12 Japanese, 13 Korean. Tnx to tip from Ron Howard who was hearing 9526 again the day before at an earlier hour. Since VOI has been on 9526 (when active) instead of 9525 for quite some time, it can hardly be an accidental slip of the finger, but why? Other stations have been caught deliberately one or two kHz off-frequency, such as Syria on 782, and in 7-150, Pakistan on 830. Can these be misguided management decisions to be on a ``different`` frequency than other stations and thus avoid interference, while really causing more interference? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** MEXICO. XEOI, 6010, weak Dec 13 at 0719 giving website http://www.radiomil.com.mx with a subaudible heterodyne of about 2.5 Hz, presumably from Colombia which on this occasion was even weaker. My congrats to both of them for getting their frequencies so close, instead of the former situation of several hundred Hz apart, always causing an audible heterodyne. >From website we learn that XEOY`s slogan is ``Vive M?xico`` (not Viva), which means Mexico Lives (not Long Live Mexico). Here`s their program schedule displaying current day unless you click on another: http://www.radiomil.com.mx/v2/programacion.php (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** TURKEY. Live from Turkey, Thu Dec 13 at 1400 on 12035, but switched to webcast so I could hear every word; three announcers in studio trashing Pres. Sarkozy for latest conflict with France over EU admission, and also David Crystal for his published comments, but they still want him to call in again (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U K. BBCWS, 5875, VG reception with news Dec 13 at 0648-0659:30* after program promo at 0659 with time only in CET! Do they really think everyone listening to this frequency will be in the UT+1 zone? More management ignorance of SW. This is Rampisham at 62 degrees, but plenty of signal way over here, scheduled at 05-07 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. WBCQ`s new ``Area 51`` program starts Friday Dec 21, and will be 7 days at 2200-2400 on 5110. Allan Weiner confirms that WORLD OF RADIO will be included, Fridays at 2330 UT (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. AFN, 7811-USB, STILL with audio cutting out every few seconds, Dec 12 at 0700 during AP Radio News; // 5446 from same Saddlebunch Keys site (not ``Key West`` as AFN claims), was weaker but not breaking up (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** VENEZUELA. 5000, Dec 11 at 0710, could barely hear some Spanish under WWV and WWVH, and the pips seemed well synchronized. I can only assume it be the sporadic YVTO Cagigal, but I would really like to hear a clear half-hour-offset time announcement from them (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) UNIDENTIFIED. 6095 with big open carrier until 0642* Dec 13, aside Anguilla 6090; what could this be? Nothing likely on the lists, unless Luxembourg was testing analog instead of DRM. Or another IBB test-only frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) UNIDENTIFIED. The continuous Arabic music on 15150 continues to be heard, but worse than before, despite ascending solar flux, such as Dec 11 at 1531 poor with flutter; ditto Dec 12 at 1511, Dec 13 at 1440 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ### ____________________________________________________________________________________ Never miss a thing.
