BOLIVIA 4699.36 R. San Miguel Nice canned ID w/QTH and freq by M at t/in
(missed recording the full anmnt) and immediately into canned promo or ad by
M and W. Good but a bit noisy. (7 March)
7 March 2009: Since the propagation data looked similar to yesterday, I
figured I'd go out to check if the sudden improvement in PNG reception at
1140 yesterday would occur again today. Conditions were very noisy from
thunderstorms in eastern Ohio, but the signals did improve. About 10
minutes later though, at 1150. I did try a different QTH and BOG length.

SOLOMON ISLANDS 9541.53 SIBC/R. Happy Isles 1108 apparent end of nx
w/poss. ment of the Solomon Islands. Brief fanfare, then M and W hosting
pgm feature. Really tough copy due to QRM from DRM on 9545 and pres. China
R. Int. on 9540. Much stronger at 1200 w/definite instru. NA, then BBC nx
read by W already in progress. Distorted audio too. Tnx Ron Howard log!!

CLANDESTINE 3985 Echo of Hope 1119 tlk by W //6348. Some Ham QRM on
3985, but it was strong than clear 6348. (7 March)
Still getting a little audio from 3279.9 Napo and 3220 HCJB at 1134. But
also getting the carrier on 3219.86 at the same time. (7 March)
MYANMAR 5770 Myanmar Defense Forces Station (tent.) Wasn't audible after
1100, but did show up at 1142 check sounding like tlk by M, then 1144
definite mx. I'm assuming this is carrier plus USB. Audio not noted in
LSB. (7 March)
PAPUA NEW GUINEA 3345 R. Northern Stayed on past 1200 today. 1149 PD
tlk by M w/ID and ment of islands, then native mx. Cont. tlk by M, then

March)
SOLOMON ISLANDS 9541.53 SIBC/R. Happy Isles Still going when back at
home w/apparent BBC pgms on 1300 and 1410 check but DRM just too much for
it. Since its 1:10 AM there, they must leave the xmtr on all night w/BBC
pgms. Have the rx and recorder running on it at the moment to see if it
goes off or if it fades. (7 March)
DEM. REP. OF THE CONGO 6210 R. Kahuzi Got another short e-mail from
Richard McDonald. Mentions "Radio Candip is still on the air in BUNIA 5-600
miles North of Bukavu -- a government University radio. I remember others
list them here, but that was a TYPO !
We have continued to be on each Monday & Friday, though we will change
schedule for 13 March to 15 April 09, as we will be on only during the day
for our team's security, while we are travelling." So, maybe Monday will be
the best chance to log R. Kahuzi for a long time. (7 March)
