It was one of those times when the noise on the band was so great, any signal heard or thought to be heard, was doubtful. Any- way, at tune in, I heard a female talking for a minute, then she present music. This continued for awhile. By 1011, I could still hear the carrier, but the audio was under the noise so it could have been the ringing in my ears that I heard? The signal was threshold to put it mildly, throughout the period.

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.

(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.

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.

Never mind the reduced VOG schedule they sent John Babbis, showing 9420 instead of other frequencies most of the time: March 7 at 1347 there was no signal at all on 9420, but at 1409 I was hearing Greek on 15650. However, that was gone by 1500 so I could hear Miraya FM unimpeded; see SUDAN [non] (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** INDONESIA [and non]. Gone again: no sign of VOI on 9525, March 7 at 1347 and 1455 chex. I could detect a very weak carrier on 9525, but probably something else. If VOI switched to 11785 this date, they were totally blown away by WHRI/Hmong Lao Radio. Meanwhile, India was inbooming on 9425, 9870 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** INTERNATIONAL. Some ham DX contest must be underway, which is what it takes to find out if a band is really open for propagation. March 7 at 1413 I found good signals from Ascension on 21630 and 21470 so tuned below 21450. Several hams were heard with the briefest possible contacts, concluding with ``5-9-K`` or -kilo, apparently meaning they were running 1000 watts of power and the contactee was heard with max strength and readability. Saying ``one thousand`` rather than ``K`` would eat up too much time which could be applied to racking up more meaningless contax. All on USB, of course, with locations looked up on their qrz.com pages, as they aren`t about to waste time mentioning that on the air either: 1413 on 21325, VP2E with various VEs and Ws [a long entry all about QSL managing and IRCs finally mentions Anguilla at the very bottom] 1415 on 21286, HI3TEJ, who was only 5-9-100 [Puerto Plata, D. R.] 1417 on 21273, ZX5J [Rancho Queimado, Santa Catarina, Brasil] 1418 on 21332, HI3K [also Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic] 1419 on 21305, 6Y1V [Hopewell, Jamaica] I then tried the 24 and 28 MHz bands, but nothing at all heard; and on the 18 MHz band no contesting heard, just ragchews; is that off-limits for contesting? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** JAPAN [non]. 11705 via Sackville, March 7 at 1428: once again the monthly haiku segment on NHKWNRJ`s World Interactive show is in limbo, as Shokan mentioned at conclusion, ``I hope we have a next time``. That would be on the first Saturday in April, in a new fiscal year after Radio Japan has made more programming changes (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** RUSSIA. 6075, R. Rossii, another check to 1400* March 7 with 5-second-late timesignal on motorboating carrier, and no 8GAL CW marker to be heard on 6074. I promise soon to stop reporting its non-reception (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** SUDAN [non]. V. of Greece has had a transmitter failure, resulting in some frequencies off the air, altho the true schedule is confusing and contradictory. Anyhow, this benefits Miraya FM, the service from Sudan, transmitted back to the country via IRRS, via Slovakia at 1500-1800 on 15650. Until now the first 50 minutes has been colliding with Greece, but now March 7 I heard Miraya in the clear: 1500 tune-in to some ghetto music which I thought unseemed Greek, 1501:16, a very late 5-pip timesignal, and news in English about Darfur, etc. Still poor reception with flutter and could not copy most of it, but at 1506 upfaded momentarily for a clear ``You are listening to the news from Miraya FM``. 1512 went out of English. I had been apprehensive, since I was indeed hearing Greece an hour earlier on 15650 instead of 9420 where they had supposedly retracted (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** TURKEY. VOT, 12035, Saturday March 7 at 1350 tune-in, DX Corner already underway with Seref reading nothing but reception reports, one from Mukesh Kumar at the moment, complete with his geo coordinates, SINPOs and SIOs. BORING --- except to the individuals quoted, but this avoids stealing DX info without credit from DXLD. Ended at 1354:30. Went back and listened to the audio which started at :18 into the program, to be sure there was no DX news. Correct. Is fortnightly. I have also just received in the p-mail VOT`s program schedule for the first half of 2009, from which you would conclude that DX Corner is sevnightly, i.e. weekly, if it were not for the unexplained / after the preceding entry, Turkey`s Pleasant Destinations, which must be its alternator (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) UNIDENTIFIED. 17450, that ear-splitting screech/whine was back, March 7 at 1515; depending on fades it spread out to 10 or at least 20 kHz either side. The pitch sounds the same on AM, but with BFO on, and with the slightest touch of the tuning knob, you hear multiple carriers going past; there must be dozens of them per each kHz. Still waiting for someone in the know to identify this (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ### ------------------------------ Message: 8 Date: Sat, 7 Mar 2009 20:16:17 -0000 From: "Tom Taylor" <em...@blueyonder.co.uk> To: "Tom Taylor" <em...@blueyonder.co.uk> Subject: [HCDX] BlueStar Radio relay Message-ID: <3acda566af934b2aaeb54fb693921...@dellcb21k2j> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" BlueStar Radio Date 8th of March 2009 Time 1300 to 1400 UTC Channel 6140 KHz The transmissions of BlueStar Radio will be broadcast over the transmitting station Wertachtal in Germany.

Just as I tried to look for a possible early fade-in of Radio Marti on 6030 kHz, I was welcomed by the French service of RRI with, among other items, news regarding Romanian scientists trying to find life in the outer space and among the Festival International de Th??tre de Sibiu... I don't see it listed in my 2003 PWBR, so probably a new outlet ! Also of important note, Brasil on 9455 kHz suddenly dropped out at 2100 UTC in the middle of a soccer game... Weird ! Was it an international service relaying a domestic outlet that has switched frequency ? I'm listening to SW today, as condx have been misery lately for both foreign LW and MW... May the good DX be with you !

You should check out their full schedule. Became much easier to hear with excellent audio. I was just listening to the Romanian service this morning, 1300-1500 on 15170, 11940. > Also of important note, Brasil on 9455 kHz suddenly > dropped out at 2100 UTC in the middle of a soccer game... > Weird !

On weekends they have an extended transmission on 9795, where the game probably continued, tho I have not checked it. 73, Glenn Hauser ------------------------------ Message: 13 Date: Sat, 7 Mar 2009 22:16:53 +0300 From: Mikhail Timofeyev <timofe...@sp.ru> To: hard-core-dx@hard-core-dx.com Subject: [HCDX] Some observations from Saint-Petersburg in Russia Message-ID: <7d1b4419-0f16-4cc1-bb62-ed80179b5...@sp.ru> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; delsp=yes; format=flowed Location: North-East part of the St.Petersburg city Receiver: Sangean 909 Antennas: 15 meters outdoor long wire All time are in UTC Frequencies in kHz 15825 1425-1505 USA WWCR-1, Nashville, 01/03, English, public religion debates by Pastor Gino Jennings till 1459, then full ID and opening of the next program, etc. - good-fair at the beginning, then (after 1445) mostly fair with deep fading 15343.9v 1520- ARG R.Nacional (tent.), 01/03, Spanish, OM talks - weak, also het. with MRC on 15345.0 13650 1525-1532 USA WHRA Greenbush, 01/03, English, YL/OM talks, ID at 15.29 as "World Harvest Radio" - S=3, but poor due to CVC Lusaka (with the same level), deep fading and local noise 17630 1535-1556* MLI CRI Bamako, 01/03, English, special program about children and school education in China (as in Chendu, Shanghai, etc.) - fair-poor with strong level of local noise 6004.8 0100-0112 CLN Sri Lanka BC, 04/03, English, YL talks with two IDs, orchestral music, western pop songs - poor-fair, het., no any signal on 9770 due to the propagation as I think (only weak carrier)... 9770.2 0114-0120 CLN Sri Lanka BC, 06/03, English, western pop songs - strong carrier, but weak audio, //6004.8 6090 0122-0132 AIA Caribbean Beacon, 06/03, English, talk by Dr. Gene Scott - poor under CNR2 and weak with BBC *0129- on 6085, slight het. 4845.3 0137-0200* B R.
