INDIA, ANDAMAN AND NICOBAR ISLANDS AIR Port Blair, 4760, f/d letter
rcvd in 20 days via email for mailed report w/2 IRC's. V/S: P.P. Babby,
Station Engineer. CORRECT email address: airportbl...@rediffmail.com .
Wrong on AIR website. Asks for further reports and tells a little about the
islands and their fate since the Tsunami.
Haven't had much time for DXing lately, with various infrastructure
emergencies at the worksite and the additional burden of planning a
5000-subscriber ISP network at Kandahar Air Base, where I will be spending
time along with Kabul in the near future.

Indonesia, 4750, RRI Makassar, 1010-1046, Starting out the signal was very
poor. Noted a female in brief Indonesian language comments followed by the
reciting of the Qu'ran by a male. This lasted until 1018 when the female
returned.
Music and talk continued until 1045 when female went into steady comments.
Signal improved slightly during the period to a very poor to a poor level
CODAR.
(Chuck Bolland, December 16, 2008)
Peru, 4775, Radio Tarma, 1048-1100 Intially noted a male in Spanish
language
comments followed immediately with music. Signal was poor and CODAR made
it practically impossible for a better signal. At 1051, canned promos
heard.
(Chuck Bolland, December 16, 2008)
Peru, 4857.45, Radio La Hora, 1052-1100 At tune in, noted Spanish Ballads.
Time mentioned during music by a female. Noted a pattern with the music
when the machine would get stuck on a track and keep repeating. I've had
this experience with my CD player in my truck whenever the CD is slightly
damaged and gets stuck and keeps repeating. At 1058 a couple of ADs noted.
At 1100 ID given as, "...Radio La Hora ..." canned followed by a second
canned ID with a different person. Live comments from a male at 1101 then
more canned stuff. Signal was fair. (Chuck Bolland, December 16, 2008)

** BULGARIA [and non]. 11700, Dec 16 at 1412, motorboating sound which I at
first feared was a new defect at R. Bulgaria, but the carrier was steady and it
soon went away; may have been OTH radar, uncovering weak signal from RB music
// much better 15700 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CANADA. Sackville is still off the air Dec 16, instead of resuming as hoped
by 1800 Dec 15. Before and after 1400 checked several frequencies and nothing
there: 7310, 9625, 9650, 15230.
So not only Radio Canada Internal, which is of very little interest anymore to
the non-immigrant, but several other stations have lost their big signals into
North America: CRI, KBS World Radio, NHKWNRJ, Voice of Vietnam, R. Austria, R.
Sweden, Vatican Radio, R. Prague. Worst-hit must be KBS and VOV which are
pretty hard to hear direct in North America (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** CHINA. 4460, CNR-1 Beijing #572 transmitter site, better than usual Dec 15,
fair at 1407. Per Aoki this one is non-direxional while 5030 is at 37 degrees,
the latter almost always mixed with but atop Sarawak.
8400 with Firedrake, and ute QRM, Dec 15 at 1410. No doubt the latest landing
of Sound of Hope as it jumps around the 8-9 MHz area (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. DentroCuban Jamming Command, pulses against nothing on new
frequencies, which could be just spurs, or could tip us off about new
frequencies for exile broadcasts, at some completely different times:
9925, Dec 16 at 1348 11878, Dec 16 at 1416
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. RRI transmitters come and go, and you never know which ones will
be on the air from one day to the next, assuming propagation is cooperating.
Dec 16 at 1358, unlike two days before, no sign of Fak2 on 4790, but Makassar
was in well on 4750, talk in Indonesian; still fair at 1433 with music, 1440
W&M DJs on phone with someone; always CODAR QRM (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** PHILIPPINES [and non]. IBB Tinang finally gets it right Dec 16: carrier came
on 6105 a few sex before 1400, no extraneous audio from Radio Netherlands, and
promptly into VOA Chinese opening, overriding the Chicom QRM. And yes, still
that het around 6104.8, presumably RASA M?rida, M?xico in Maya (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ROMANIA. RRI English at 1300 missing from recent new frequency 11970, Dec 16
at 1351 ? that`s after WYFR closes and RRI should be audible, but nothing
there, unlike the Romanian language channel 11940 which was VG; and also
English on 15105 with sports at 1353. Nothing audible on 17745 either, which
was what 11940 replaced.
Is the sign-off announcement any help? Of course not! Annoying thing about RRI
is at sign-off they never give the frequencies of the broadcast just ending,
but instead all the frequencies and platforms of the next English broadcast, in
this case at 1800 on 7215, 9640. Anyhow, either one of the new transmitters
failed, or they have moved again away from 11940, which would be advisable due
to the WYFR collision they should have anticipated before going there, anyway.
And RRI have finally deleted the totally outdated A-08 schedule so that from
the homepage you can now go directly to the B-08 English schedule at
http://www.rri.ro/art.shtml?lang=1&sec=20&art=15758
but it still shows 11970 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U K [non]. BBCWS in English, 11760, way over RHC Spanish at 1352 Dec 16;
recheck at 1414, RHC was slightly atop BBC with SAH. This correlates nicely
with BBC transmitter site change at 1400 as in Aoki:
from Oman at 310 degrees, also favoring us, to Cyprus at 90 degrees.
Thanks to the temporary absence of CBCNQ Sackville, BBCWS now well heard on
9625 via Cyprus, Dec 16 at 1406, ID in passing, lite QRM probably from RSA. At
1422 BBC interviewing an agony aunt in India, deep fades (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [non]. 17740 in uncertain ME language, Dec 16 at 1447 M&M interviewing
someone, fair at best and gone at 1459 with no ID or jingle heard, and nothing
listed in most references, a late addition since B-08 began; however I recall
the VOA Kurdish used to be here, and it is again per:
http://www.voanews.com/kurdi/frequencies.cfm
and the site is South Africa per
http://www.sentech.co.za/index.php?module=ContentExpress&func=display&ceid=300&bid=25&btitle=Frequencies&meid=324
After 1500, 17735 came on with NHK via France, and 17745 with Sudan Radio
Service via Portugal (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 6074, 8GAL audible without BFO, Dec 16 at 1400 as R. Rossii
carrier stayed on 6075 past 1401; with usual V/CQ marker (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 6215 AM, YL with repetitive syllables in presumed Korean, Dec 16
at 1506, believed to be spy numbers station, but from North or South? Not in
Aoki. Ron Howard had reported this an hour later on Nov 26. I think this has
been around for a long time. Searched UDXF YG and 17 hits on the frequency for
various utility services, but not this (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

I heard a sign off with a national anthem just after 2100 UTC today
12/17 on 7110, but nothing else stoop out. I am not sure, but I believe
this is Ethiopia. I have an audio clip that I would be willing to share
if asked directly. Has anyone else heard them on this frequency? If
this is not Ethiopia, I still would be interested in determining who it is.

1350 JOER Japan, Horoshima, after about a year and two months and
2 f/ups, I finally got my QSL from JOER, RCC. For some reason, this one
was slow to receive. Most JJ stations are excellent fast QSLers. With
this, I have once again 100% reply of JJ stations. As usual, this is
another really nice full color QSL card with photo on the tower. No V/S,
but date & time, station, etc are all on the card with "Confirmed Your
Report!". QSL no. US001 also typed on the back. Address: 21-3
Moto-machi, Naka-ku, Hiroshima 730-6504, Japan. Also sent program
schedule in Japanese. Japan QSL :#113. MW QSL #3001. I am really
pleased with this one. It is always special to get a new QSL from Japan.

Warm greetings to all !
Been geting a high-pitched growl on the low side of 550 that seems to almost
annihilate the 550 domestics when I tuned on the low side of the channel. Is it
the Algeria-549 juggernaut ? After all, Spain-585 was very good at times and
everything is possible...
I just want to know what is your definition of a "TA heterodyne"...
May the good DX be with you !

definitively something that sounds like a het, when I tune around 550.5 or 551
there is nothing, but on 549 there is something, but my receiver isn't
selective enough to pick it down up; however it does an excellent job on
separing Spain-585 from CFRA-580 and WEZE/mess-590... Of course, 5 kHz from a
domestic channel is as far as you can get from the NA channels without worring
of becoming illegal.
May the good DX be with you !
