Anguilla 6090 off the air allowing the following stations to be heard.
** BRAZIL. 6089.95, Radio Bandeirantes, 0300-0400, Sept 5,
heard as early as 2215 on Sept 4 when they started to fade in.
Continuous Portuguese talk. Fair signal with Anguilla off the air
but some QRM from Nigeria on 6089.85 and Ethiopia on 6090.
(Brian Alexander, PA)
** ETHIOPIA. 6090, Amhara State Radio, *0257-0410, Sept 5,
heard this station thanks to Anguilla being off the air. Sign on with IS.
Announcements at 0300 followed by a variety of local flute music,
Horn of Africa music and some rustic vocals. Talk in unidentified
language. Mentions of Amhara. Weak at sign on but improved to a
fair to good level by 0320 but with QRM from Brazil on 6089.95 and
Nigeria on 6089.85. (Brian Alexander, PA)
** NIGERIA. 6089.85, Radio Nigeria, Kaduna, *0259-0315, Sept 5,

** ANGUILLA [non]. Caribbean Beacon missing from 6090, Sept 5 at 0513, but
could not hear anything else, not even Brazil or Nigeria, just DRM from 6085.
Should have tried earlier as Brian Alexander who first alerted us about this,
heard both plus Ethiopia around 0300.
CB also absent from 11775, Sept 5 at 1247, but again nothing else audible
instead. That leaves PMS and DGS totally off SW at this hour! As WWCR 13845 is
ceded to Brother Scare in the mornings, and all the Costa Rican transmitters
have been silent for many months, altho still appearing e.g. in Prime Time
Shortwave! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BIAFRA [non]. Nope, V. of Biafra International still on 15665, Sept 5, the
first Friday of the month, checked briefly sometime between 19 and 20 UT,
nothing on 17520, where WRTH July update guessed it would move. All one can do
is guess when it comes to this station, and who knows, maybe later on will
still go to 17520 ``in September``, not necessarily from the first week.
Axually, per FCC schedule, WHRI during this hour has not been on 15665 since
April 5 and has always been on 17520; surprise! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** CANADA [non]. 15325, Sept 5 at 1527 Russian singing with guitar and
speaking, 1528 ID and addresses for RCI, cut off at 1529:30 before completed
giving E-mail address. This is via Woofferton. Someone please inform them in
Montreal that VTC WILL CUT OFF transmission at :29:30 whether it is finished or
not, so it would be prudent to wrap up the program before then (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA [and non] Firedrake Sept 5: at 1230 fair on 9000 but with aero SSB QRM
from 8996 or so. At 1244 good on 10210, 1250 good on 8400. No others heard up
to 19 MHz during the next hour (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
We were wondering about the different program feed routes used by CRI to its
many relay sites. A few hours are simulcast via Canada and Cuba, such as
Cantonese at 12 on 11850 and 9570 respectively. Sept 5 at 1235 check we found
the two just an echo/reverb apart, much closer than some other combinations
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
15600, Sept 5 at 1303 song, sounds like C&W/hymn, 1305 announcement sounds
Indonesian; 1306 song starts instrumental, adds choral, sort of Russian style,
pop beat. What`s this? Per Aoki, CRI`s Malay service at 1230-1330, 100 kW, 175
degrees via Kunming, ChiCom`s only use of 15600, except when Sound of Hope
needs to be jammed (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. As I tuned by 15120, Sept 5 at 1301, Tony was about to list
frequencies, so I copied them: ``15120, 15360, 13760, 13680, 13780, 11760,
5965, 6000`` (and `audio real` which is really windows media, pace Mr. Gates).
Incredibly, the previous listing has been updated two-three months after some
significant changes were made. 5965 has finally been added, but still lacking
11800, altho 12000 which it replaced has finally been marked out! RHC still
can`t get their act together. Just to be sure: yes, 11800, always distorted is
indeed on at 1309 check, as it is quite reliably in the mornings now as well as
afternoons. But why would anyone listen to it instead of better modulated
11760? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDIA. 9425, AIR National Channel, Sept 5 at 1432 with news in English, a
bit of weather, 1435 back into Hindi ad, Akashvani ID, 1437 dead air, music
past 1439, no more English since it`s Saturday, but there is on other days;
fair even on kitchen table DX-390 with reelout inside antenna (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KOREA SOUTH [non]. KBS World Radio, 9650 via Canada, Saturday Sept 5 toward
the end of Worldwide Friendship, Kevin O`Donovan`s Listening Tips from
Farmington NM at 1252-1255 concluded saying he would be posting the scripts on
the KBS messageboard. We found that at
http://world.kbs.co.kr/english/radio/info/message_list.htm
but his latest one was not yet there; previous ones are down the list from
jazzkevin. Unfortunately, no one is keeping out pornspam but easily avoided
from garbled senders. It seems KBS is not savvy about how to run a website,
also having published full e-mail addresses of contest winners. Board does
include weekly English program previews, very sketchy like given on air after
Kevin, but better than nothing, such as:
``Preview for the second week of September
Monday?s Business Watch looks at the Sangam World Cup Park, where the new
environment-friendly hydrogen station will be built.
On Tuesday?s Traveling Korea, listeners will be able to get an overview of the
Global Fair and Festival 2009 Incheon.
On Wednesday Culture on the Move will take you on a tour of the Children?s
Museum, a part of the National Museum of Korea.
It?s going to be a week of interesting and informative programs, so don?t
forget to tune in!`` (Glenn Hauser, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** RUSSIA. 12065, Sept 5 at 1331, carillon, 1333 announcement, pauses,
intonation sounds Swedish, more bells; then lots of different bell and
percussion sounds. All references show this hour is supposed to be VOR via
Chita in English to SE Asia. If it was really in English, that never clicked in
due to poor signal. VOR program grid at
http://www.ruvr.ru/main.php?lng=eng&w=225&p=
fittingly shows Music & Musicians during the entire 13-14 hour on Saturdays.
15605, good signal Sept 5 at 1355, VOR with nice Hindi song, 1359 ID and IS,
1400 switch to English, news, 1408 News & Views of Medvedev. It takes a good
day for VOR to be listenable at this hour in CNAm, target area opposite
worldside from Moscow site, poor second being 9850 Samara sometimes audible, so
we hope there will be more, autumnly
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. Brother Scare`s Sabbath via: 9385 WWRB, Sept 5 at 1421
screaming ``you`re stupid!``, to a chorus of murmured amens from his
psychophants. When he screams, WWRB overmodulates and splatters more than
usual; don`t they have any limiting? So on this occasion, 9395-9400 area has
WWRB splash instead of WTJC-9370 spurs which are absent for the moment.
Then checked // B.S. frequencies to see how they matched, as approximately
timed: 15420 WBCQ 16 seconds behind 9385. 13845 WWCR 3 seconds ahead of 9385.
Later at 1530, DTK 17485 joined B.S. in progress, and it was 3 seconds behind
9385. So rearranged into time order:
1, WWCR 13845
2, WWRB 9385 delayed 3 sex
3, DTK J?lich 17485 delayed another 3 sex
3, WBCQ 15420 delayed another 13 sex
17485 probably started at scheduled 1500, and another anomaly, no R. Prague
clash audible after 1530; have they moved? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U K [non]. 13855, B-B-C- chimes at 1257 Sept 5, 1259 opening in Uzbek
mentioning bbcuzbek.com, timesignal and BBC news sounder which it seems crosses
all language boundaries, fair signal. This is 500 kW, 62 degrees from Rampisham
at 1300-1330. No jamming audible as on previous occasions; the ChiCom do jam
this service as a courtesy to their own oppressed DentroUzbex, or related
Turkic ethnix, such as Uighurs who can understand it (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [non]. 12005, Sept 5 at 1326, good signal with strumming and talking,
first guess in Turkish; 1329 interrupted by news about Gordon Brown; by 1342
lite CODAR QRM which could be heard as low as 11980 vs CRI. Looked up later in
Aoki, it`s R. Liberty in Kazakh, a Turkic language, 13-14, 250 kW, 348 degrees
from Iranawila, SRI LANKA and also USward (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DGIEST)
** U S A. In time for this week`s WORLD OF RADIO, WWCR-1 back on 15825, ex-2+
weeks of experimenting with 15820, Friday Sept 4 at 2037 check; JBA without any
Es enhancement so all I could do was recognize me, not confirm it was new
#1476, but surely it was. Still on 15825 Sept 5 morning.
BTW, JBA means just barely audible. I am not going to explain it every time I
use it, or there would be no point in the abbr. Credit to Bob Thomas,
Connecticut who came up with this usefully descriptive initialism, altho it
means about the same as very poor reception (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A. See previous report: WEWN, 15610, far too weak to tell if it was
still spurry plus and minus 10, around 1915 check Sept 4, tho WYFR was
sufficient on 15600 in Russian.
At 1342 Sept 5, 12160 WEWN English again audible sufficiently and no detectable
spurs. Next check at 1520, 12160 was off and now 11550 in English with Catholic
stuff, toll-free 1-877-573-7825, and het as always a problem on 11550 due to
off-frequency Tainan, Taiwan transmitter at 14-17 among other hours.
As per WEWN`s own website sked quoted in my previous report, during the 15 UT
hour, English is supposed to be on 15610, Spanish on 11520 and 11550. 11520
indeed in Spanish, but so is weak JBA 15610! They have their wires crossed, two
frequencies/languages exchanged --- antennas too? One transmitter is supposed
to be 24h in English to a variety of targets; the other two are supposed to be
both in Spanish, one aimed at CAm/Mexico, the other at Cuba/SAm, whatever the
frequencies (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. On Aug 20 I heard WRNO announcer say that from ``next week`` their SW
service would expand to 12 hours a day. Altho on that day they were testing
much beyond 0100-0400 UT, now it is 16 days later and still no sign of expanded
schedule: 7505v, Sept 5 at 0514 and 1210 vacant. Any news on their revamped
website
http://www.wrnoworldwide.org/ --- ?
Oops, it must not have been re-upped as that redirects to
http://sites.securepaynet.net/HostingRedirect.html
so we can`t even hear them webcast, also promised to be 24h (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9955, Sept 5 at 1514 WRMI ID under jamming, 1515 into YL preacher
from Miami, Healing Streams of Grace. WRMI Saturdays is entirely in English at
least from 1400, and there`s usually little or no jamming against Prague at
1400. Jamming resumed, why? Because the DentroCuban Jamming Command can; take
that! Yet Arnie sounds so friendly, oui mes amis (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [non]. 17680, CVC La Voz, Miami via Chile, Sept 5 in Spanish at 1321
had M telling W how to do breast self-exam, best times vs menstrual period;
usual good signal back to the USA (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** VIETNAM. 9550, Sept 5 at 1234, two signals mixing, but dominated by YL in
Russian, the other in Vietnamese. Per Aoki, the Russian is VOV, which
alternates Russian and Chinese semihours between 1100 and 1330, 100 kW at 27
degrees from Hanoi so also usward, while the Vietnamese is CRI, 500 kW at 193
degrees from Beijing site, in the squabbling Commie neighbors` radiowar over
this frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 5780, plus/minus 10 kHz, extremely distorted S9+10 FMy spur at
0505 Sept 5, continuous talk, hard to recognize even language, but finally
decided it was Brazilian. Did not find any matching modulation thruout the 49m
band. I recall that a Brazilian station was reported from Brasil in this area,
way off frequency, but can`t find it now as I don`t remember the exact
frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 9190-9210, presumed OTH radar pulses from China, weak Sept 5 at
1332 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 9635, expecting to hear usual CVC La Voz, CHILE in Spanish,
instead something in French, quite clearly spoken, Sept 5 at 1513. Mali? Maybe.
But per EiBi, TWR Swaziland is also in French weekends at 1455-1525, but M-F in
Malagasy. Aoki disagrees, that French is only on Sunday, azimuth for both 53
degrees, but that was B-08. WRTH A-09 update says French is on Saturday only,
check; longpath? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

of the hour. Anguilla silent, poor to fair signal during the 2320-0003
UT period with Kaduna off. (Jordan-TN)
6089.944, R. Bandeirantes, Sao Paulo, Sep 5, 0228-0255 - Anguilla

pips at the bottom of the hour, Portuguese talk by man and woman. 5 time
pips again at 0245 then possible sports talk, more music bridges.
Anguilla silent, covered by Nigeria and Ethiopia at 0255. Re-check

dawn enhancement. (Jordan-TN)
**ETHIOPIA. 6090, Amhara State Radio, Sep 5, *0255 - Interval signal
until 0259, drumming until 0301 then opening talk by woman in presumed
Amharic. Very nice variety of Ethiopian instrumentals and vocals from
0305. Woman or man occasionally speaking between musical selections,
many mentions of Ethiopia. Slowly fading from 0340 UT. Woman at 0400
mentioning Ethiopia and Amhara. Anguilla silent, peaking around 0310
then fading very slowly. (Jordan-TN)

Hausa, talks by man, poor signal with low rumble from co-channel Brazil

6089.85, R. Nigeria, Kaduna, Sep 5, *0003-0110* - presumed Hausa,
sermons by man interspaced with Qu'ranic recitations until off at 0110
UT. Surely special Ramadan broadcast. Anguilla silent, dominant over
much faded Brazil. (Jordan-TN)
6089.85, R. Nigeria, Kaduna, Sep 5, *0255-0700 - on with ~1 kHz tone
until 0259 UT, drumming, choral National Anthem at 0300:30. Brief
English opening announcement by man mentioning "here ? with all of my
friends" then male announcer in presumed Hausa. Monologues, Qu'ran,
sermons. Anguilla silent, fair signal at sign-on but slowly fading
before strongly peaking after 0520 with excellent transmitter sunrise
enhancement. Audio didn't totally fade out until 0700 UT, over 1.5 hours
after Kaduna sunrise. (Jordan-TN)
