China, 9500, China National Radio One, (pres), 0930-0945, Listed via 
Shijiazhuan
in the AOKI database, note two males in Chinese language comments. Signal
was at a fair level with some splatter.  (Chuck Bolland, May 2, 2009)

China, 9540, China National Radio One, (pres)0943-1000,  This is the same 
signal
as heard on 9500, but nothing listed for CNR-1 on this freq and during this 
time period in either the EIBI or AOKI database.  Reluctant to pull out the 
Passport and WRTH#
since I'd probably find two more different options for these broadcasts. 
Sometimes
when researching an Ident, I feel like I am trying to hold on to a "soup 
sandwich"; it
is almost impossible to get a good grasp of a situation with all the 
different listings.
(Chuck Bolland, May 2, 2009)

China, 9575, China National Radio One, (pres) 1001-1010,  Noted the same 
broadcast
here as heard on 9500 and 9540; however, this broadcast is much better than 
either of
the above broadcasts.  The signal here is at a good level.  The EIBI 
database lists this
broadcast as a "Jammer".  What they are jamming* is difficult to determine 
since the
frequency is clear of other broadcasts at least at my location.  (Chuck 
Bolland, May
2, 2009)

Russia, 7320, Radio Rossii, 1016-1030,  At tune in noted music then two 
males in
Russian language comments were heard.  At 1019 the program returned to 
music.
As the broadcast continued the splatter and QRM increased making copy from
Rossii very difficult.  The signal however, remained at a fair level. 
(Chuck Bolland,
May 2, 2009)




*Scanned the rest of the band to 10,000.00 KHz and could not hear any other 
Chinese
broadcasts that were reaching Clewiston.

#I did take a quick look at both the Passport and WRTH and didn't see 
anything
listed on any of the three frequencies reported above for CNR-1.

** BIAFRA [non]. V. of Biafra International, 17520 via WHRI, routine weekly 
check Friday May 1 sometime during the 19-20 UT hour reconfirmed it is still 
airing there, sufficient reception (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHILE. CVC still running on 15410 in Portuguese, May 2 at 1344 check with 
SAH, two days after projected closedown of Brazilian service on SW (Glenn 
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) 

** CHINA. Besides 7185 each morning in the Taiwan/China radio war, another 
persistent broadcaster in the 40m hamband is 7105, much weaker signal, but May 
2 at 1315 I was hearing what resembled scat singing in Chinese(?), W&M 
alternating, 1319 announcement unseemed Chinese, and into vocal music ballad. 
Presumably this is PBS Nei Menggu, Hohhot, Inner Mongolia, as in Aoki, 50 kW at 
52 degrees favorable usward too.

Firedrake check May 2: at 1342 good on 13970 but no sign of it on 15600; at 
1354 about equal on 9000 and 8400; at 1459 still going on 13970.

11615, the other kind of ChiCom jamming, heavily echoing programming presumably 
originating with the CNR1 network, at 1457 May 2. Victim is VOA Chinese via 
Saipan at 14-15 only, which was totally buried.

Perhaps it is about time for IBB to make a more aggressive response to ChiCom 
jamming, like jumping frequencies up or down 5-10 kHz without notice, where 
this can be done without affecting other stations. As it is, all IBB frequency 
usage and changes are immediately known to the enemy thru HFCC, making it a 
piece of cake to keep them blocked.

Or use spare IBB transmitter capacity to jam CRI broadcasts, making it clear 
that this is nothing but retaliation, not a US policy against China`s freedom, 
ha ha, of speech (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also NETHERLANDS

** CUBA. RHC on new 11770, May 1 at 2140 in Spanish; OK reception except het 
from Anguilla 11775. This replaces 11820 where it had been since April 13, 
colliding with Saudi Arabia which had already been using this frequency to 
Europe for sesquiyears (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ECUADOR. HCJB enters yet another month announcing its own frequencies 
incorrectly; caught the morning Spanish broadcast May 2 just before 1500* on 
11960 with automated ID at 1459:30 promoting Ecuador as a cacao-producer and 
still claiming to be on ``11690, 21455 y 11960`` despite 21455 having been 
canceled years ago (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** EGYPT. 15255 with Qur`an, May 2 at 1502; I thought that would be handy for 
those prevented by the buzzy Saudis from clearhearing the muezzin on 15435. 
15255 turns out to be R. Cairo`s Albanian service, also aimed usward, so I 
expect it was only a brief introduxion; there are lots of Moslems in Albania of 
course, thanks to the Ottoman legacy, but do the Orthodox get their due from 
Cairo? Fat chance (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NETHERLANDS [non]. 9650, CRI at 1300-1400 via Sackville in English, 250 kW 
aimed 240 degrees rather close to my azimuth, puts in a big reliable signal, 
but as I have been noticing ever since A-09 began, has considerable co-channel 
QRM from R. Netherlands in Dutch via Philippines, despite the latter supposedly 
aimed 200 degrees from Tinang. Serves the ChiCom right for all their deliberate 
blockage of Western broadcasts into China, to get creamed by this unintentional 
collision! 

RN is registered only at 1300-1327 but I have previously noted this staying on 
until 1330, and May 2 it was strong enough to make out the content. After the 
Dutch NA until 1327, switched to English for 3 minutes of The State We`re In, 
as I heard mentioned World Press Freedom Day, the very topic shown in this 
week`s RN programme previewwes. And it cut off at 1330* sharp. This is not the 
first time IBB has failed to match the exact times it should be relaying RN, 
but hey, it`s two two additional sesquiminutes of well-deserved QRM to CRI 
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** RUSSIA. 7330 in English, May 2 at 1309 introducing a classical music 
excerpt, with heavy QRM from RCI and CRI colliding on 7325. 7330 must be VOR in 
English to Asia via Vladivostok as scheduled 12-15 in 
http://www.ruvr.ru/files/File/WORLD_SERVICE/09_FREQUENCY_SCHEDULE.doc
And the Saturday 1300+ show is Music and Musicians, per the handy 24-hour grid 
at http://www.ruvr.ru/main.php?lng=eng&w=225&p=

This raises doubts about my previous log of English before 1300 on 7330, which 
I assumed to be Poland via Germany as it is also scheduled there. In fact I 
should retract that.

9850 with VOR news in English at 1403 May 2, beneath splash from ChiCom jamming 
on 9845; VOR 9850 was running about 1 second ahead of // 15605. The sites are 
respectively Chita and Moskva, per Aoki. So like in the VOA 17585/9760 case, at 
VOR too it takes longer to get the program to a nearby site than a faraway one 
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SAUDI ARABIA. Saut ul-Buzz, Riyadh, 15435, May 2 at 1501 with frying sound 
atop Arabic talk leading into Qur`aning. Should be // 15225, but too weak to 
unearth from CRI Sackville adjacent. However, those in need of a Qur`an fix 
could find one on 15255: see EGYPT (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. 17585 with open carrier, fair signal, May 2 at 1350. 
Finally at 1359 VOA sign-on and English news // 9760 but 17585 running one or 
two words behind 9760. Does that mean it is further from studios than Tinang? 
No! 17585 is in fact Greenville, 1400-1430 only in that wacky split hour, 
continued after 1430 from Udorn, Thailand site (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING 
DIGEST)

** U S A. WRMI, 9955, Saturday May 2 at 1455 with a Jesus show, listed as Zion 
Teacher, and mixed with DentroCuban jamming. Do the Cuban Commies have it in 
for Jesus and Zion? No, they are just totally incompetent (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX 
LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WWCR, 15825, assisted by sporadic E to reach an adequate signal 
level, May 2 at 1500 with James Hickey, back from surgery, to cite Revelation 
III: 1, which is about the Seven Stars ? Pleiades? Was strong enough to hear 
the squeal, one of the neglected legacies of WWCR`s former CE. 

The Saturday 1630 airing of WORLD OF RADIO on 12160 started on time this week, 
or maybe even a bit early, as checked on webcast (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX 
LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. Ted Randall has been wanting to interview me for a long time, so we 
finally got together on the phone April 29. We talked for almost a sesquihour, 
so with breaks added, that could occupy most of a 2-hour QSO with Ted Randall 
show. He says it will air first on Tuesday May 5 at 2100-2300 on WBCQ 7415, and 
probably repeat the following Thursday, as well as various other times, also on 
WRMI 9955 Sundays at 0500, and become available for download. Many thanks to 
Ted for his promotion of WORLD OF RADIO, which he says, more hams ought to know 
about (Glenn Hauser, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. Is anyone hearing DXing with Cumbre this A-09 season at any time on 
any WHRI/WHRA/T8WH frequency? You can probably find a bunch of times in the 
online schedules but that doesn`t mean they axually radiate on SW. I was 
reminded of this conundrum as I tuned by 11785 Saturday May 2 at 1457 and still 
heard a gospel huxter instead, in a time once occupied by DWC (Glenn Hauser, 
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

** BULGARIA. Just tuned in 9800 at 2229 May 2 to hear the Minute Waltz played 
on a wind instrument, weak signal off at 2230* without announcement. Since it`s 
an -00 frequency, the prime suspect is R. Bulgaria, and indeed nothing but it 
is scheduled there, at 2130-2230 in Spanish (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING 
DIGEST)

** ISRAEL. 15785, weak mix of music and talk, fading out, modulation seems 
distorted, but carrier is stable, May 2 at 2146 and still there at 2201 
presumably in Hebrew as nothing else known here but Galei Zahal, IDF station. 
HFCC ignores it; Aoki has it only at 07-16 with 5 kW non-direxional, so I`ll 
have to go with EiBi showing time as 06-24. Only other station at any time on 
15785 is CRI via Xi`an not continuously between 0100 and 0700 in English, 
Chinese (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MOROCCO [and non]. 15345, RTM, fair with Arabic music, May 2 at 2148, no 
sign of Argentina, altho Chile was VG on 15410; but RTM still on at 2201 with 
YL in Arabic news, and now a low het barely audible, BFO confirming two 
carriers on slightly different frequencies. Morocco still on at 2205, back to 
music, so suspended efforts to hear RAE at the moment (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX 
LISTENING DIGEST)

** SAUDI ARABIA. BSKSA, non-buzzy 11820, again in the clear, May 2 at 2158 
check with Qur`an, tnx to RHC`s move away May 1 to 11770 after we exposed their 
big mistake in ever going on 11820 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TURKEY. VOT, 9830, English to North America, Saturday May 2 at 2221 had 
Seref reading letters from listeners; did not sound like mere reception 
reports, but hard to make much of it due to severe co-channel RTTY QRM; yet it 
was indeed ``DX Corner`` as announced ending at 2226. I tried various 
bandwidths on two receivers, USB and LSB, stepping up to 3 kHz either side, and 
could not get rid of the RTTY which must be centered exactly on 9830.0. 

Therefore VOT would be well advised to get off this frequency, which has been 
occupied by RTTY for ages, and should never have been chosen in the first 
place. At this time there was nothing on 9825 or 9835, so a 5 kHz shift should 
fix it. Per online listings, 9825 is clear during this hour, altho VOA starts 
Spanish at 2300 from Greenville and probably would be running open carrier long 
before then; I did not check. Portugal could run as late as 2300 on 9820, which 
would be a problem, altho not today, off earlier. 

Nothing listed on 9835. If Radio Rep?blica were to resume 9840 at 21-23 drawing 
Cuban jamming, that could be a problem, but no sign of that. Overall, the 
better choice would be for VOT to shift up to 9835, unless they want to look 
for an opening further afield (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 15600, WYFR preaching in Spanish bothered by squealing, extremely 
distorted modulation, May 2 at 2149. At first I thought its own transmitter was 
defective, but then it became clear the QRM was from an external source, since 
it did not match WYFR modulation and worsened during WYFR fades. Same situation 
after 2200 when WYFR switched to French. 

Right next to it at S9+20 on 15610 is WEWN, 250 kW at 40 degrees in English, 
and guess what --- matching spur on 15620 except it was not noticeable because 
it had nothing to beat against, until I turned on the BFO. So this is the WEWN 
transmitter we have recently complained about putting out plus/minus 10 kHz 
spurs, e.g. on 9330 and 9350 from ex-fundamental 9340, but the same problem 
goes back many years on many frequencies. Any station daring to broadcast only 
10 kHz away from WEWN is asking for it. Catholix vs Protestants! (Glenn Hauser, 
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WWCR, 13845, inbooming May 2 at 2154 evidently with HF sporadic E 
assistance, so strong that under DGS I could hear modulation from another WWCR 
transmitter bleeding thru, confirmed as // 7465 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING 
DIGEST) ###

Jorge,

Monday 27 Apr 2009 

Radio Netherlands Worldwide (RNW) has taken on a new partnership with a major 
Indian cable network, Incablenet.
RNW already collaborates with various FM radio stations, and the new 
partnership will allow around 2 million Indian listeners to access its English 
programmes via digital cable for the first time.

RNW's Director General Jan Hoek said: "India is one of the fastest emerging 
superpowers in the world. Growing trade, historical and new cultural relations 
with the Netherlands mean that the need for information about Western countries 
is growing."
? 
Based in Mumbai, Incablenet currently serves over 6.5 million households in 
analogue cable. 

Last year RNW began working with several Indian FM stations and broadcasting 
organisations, providing listeners with information about the Netherlands and 
Europe.
