Peru, 4774.94, Radio Tarma, 1051-1105, Noted Huaynos music at tune in with
difficulty due to
weak signal and fading. In between the music a male comments in Spanish.
Signal is very
weak. Signal drops to Nil after the hour. (Chuck Bolland, December 11,
2009)
Russia, 6075, Radio Rossii, 1107-1120, Male presenting the news in Russian
language. A
second signal is under Rossii, but can't ID it due to its' weakness. It
could be DW or
Bolivia? At 1110, Radio Rossii drops a canned ID as "Radio Rossii".
Rossii's signal
was fair. (Chuck Bolland, December 11, 2009)
Indonesia, 9525.90, Voice of Indonesia, 1114-1130 Noted a female in Chinese
language comments during the period. Judging from the nuances and her tone,
it sounds like Chinese is not her primary language. Anyway, she continues
with
her comments during the time frame. Signal was fair. (Chuck Bolland,
December
11, 2009)
Indonesia, 9680, RRI Jakarta, 1117-1130, Noted a male in Indonesian
language comments.
At 1119 a second male joins the conversation. Signal was fair. (Chuck
Bolland, December
11, 2009)
Chile, 9780, CVC Voz Cristina, 1120-1130, At tune in, heard some music in
Spanish followed
with comments from a male and female also in Spanish. Signal was good.

** AUSTRALIA. 7240, RA with Movietime, from Radio National, Dec 11 at 1425 with
negative review of ``Nine``, and teaser for next week`s review of ``Bright
Star``, a few words from Jane Campion. Show is scheduled Fridays 1405-1434 on
RA, also 9590 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GABON. 9580, another good log of Africa Num?ro Un, Moyabi, Dec 10 at 2145
with doo-wop music. As I nappily dozed, dreamt I was tuned to 7465 instead
where Rock the Universe runs during this Thursday hour on WWCR; but then a
French announcement, and at 2150 Ray Peterson`s ``Corinna`` the lyrix of which
are primarily ``Corinna, Corinna, I love you so``, pronounced in English, from
darkest Africa, no less (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** IRAN. VIRI, a missionary station, Dec 11 at 1458 amid Russian hour on 9575,
quite good while // 9730 was just barely audible: bit of Qur`an recitation,
some string music, more Qur`an, Russian commentary upon it. Perhaps they do
more of this on Fridays than other days (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO [and non]. 6185, Dec 11 from Vatican clearance at 0620 was enjoying
some neat drumming, percussion on XEPPM, but already at *0624:30 blotted by
Bras?lia with song, starting earlier than ever. Grrr! Only three sesquiminutes
today (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SAUDI ARABIA. 11785, BuzzSKSA audible Dec 11 around 1440. But not at 1515,
nor on 15435 which is normally rasping away after 1500. I made sure to turn off
the oil heater QRM during this check (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WJHR, 15550-USB, weakly audible at 1930 Dec 10, same F&B preacher as
always, but who is this lucky guy with an exclusive SW station? Next check
around 2045, not heard, so maybe closed in meantime. Dec 11 at 1500, not heard.
At least with SSB one can expect to detect a signal if it be on, tho surely
nowhere near the 50 kW equivalent AM power required, bending the rules. OTOH,
it`s been so weak so far that poor propagation and unfavorable skip distance
could be enough to disaudiblize it here even if on. Still no reply to my 3
e-mails to them Dec 8; has anyone heard from them? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. On caradio at 2045 Dec 10 noticed steady EWTN Catholic programming on
1090, a frequency normally vacant of groundwave here daytimes, so skywave was
kicking in. Call-in with an authority cluing in listeners about doctrine; can
they take the Old Testament seriously as inerrant?
By 2053 I had switched to the DX-398 and it was looping NE/SW as a SAH of about
3 Hz was developing, likely caused by Little Rock a hefty acute angle apart.
And the Catholic station was running about one second behind WEWN on 15610.
During rest of hour, was sometimes // and sometimes not, as it must have been
cutting in and out of network feed. 2100 ID as ``KESX, the station that
cares``, and shortly The Lord`s Prayer.
So it`s the 3.4 kW daytimer in Excelsior Springs MO, near Kansas City, with a
direxional pattern, surprise, surprise, toward the big city, main lobe about
248 degrees, so also favoring Enid (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 15570, big steady open carrier, with some fading, Dec 10 at 2051.
Also heard same about 6 hours earlier but did not log as it went off a few sex
after I intuned. Have also heard this other days. Nothing at all scheduled on
15570 at either time, but I suspect it is VOA Greenville warming up for
transmission to follow on 15580 from 2100, and avoiding overlapping with VOA
Iranawila on same until 2100, which is exactly what they should be doing.
Probably jumps to 15580 as GB modulation starts at hourtop (Glenn Hauser, OK,

** ALBANIA [and non]. R. Tirana, 7430 with good modulation and free of
interference, Dec 11 at 2126 as OM concluded English semihour, no frequency
info, 2127 theme music and off. Had also quickly checked // 9895 and it was
much weaker.
Scarcely an hour later, BBC World News provided perfect reception via OETA OKLA
virtual and RF channel 13.2 including a story on how Albania`s economy is
improving unlike most of Europe. Looked for video on website, but only found
text with illustrations:
Albania takes strides towards EU accession
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/8406675.stm
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BIAFRA [non]. Have been checking V. of Biafra International almost every
Friday, since you never know when they will make a change without notice. This
paid off Dec 11 at 1924: no signal audible on 15665, where they had been last
several weeks.
If WHRI were on the air, it ought at least to be detectable; WWCR 15825 was
audibly poorly, and if it`s in, so should be more powerful WHRI at a further,
more favorable skip distance.
VOBI home website has been updated with new look, except the page about
schedule STILL shows long out-of-date info, 15280 at 20-21 UT!
http://www.biafraland.com/vobi.htm
It does however, have a new audio file for Dec 11. Possibly a new frequency
would be mentioned therein sometime during the hour, but previously they gave
up stating any SW frequency at all. If someone has time to monitor that, please
let us know.
WHR website, searching on VOBI under specific program criteria, is no better,
still showing Fri 19-20 on Angel 1, 15665. But their frequency schedule for all
six transmitters shows 15665 used by BOTH Angel 1 and Angel 5 during this hour!
I also checked 15280, nothing; 17520, previously used, nothing; and 17690 where
there was only something in French. Quick scan across the rest of 19 and 16 m
did not find anything. Possibly they went to 25m which was briefly used last
year, or switched the time, and I did not look for it after 2000 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 11760, RHC at 2123 Dec 11 had ``Ed Newman`` in English, while all the
other 25m frequencies were in Spanish, so at least half the English hour at
2030 was on the air today (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [non]. 6030, DentroCuban jamming already underway at 2129 Dec 11, so is
R. Mart? starting earlier than 2200 now? Don`t think so; O, it`s not jamming,
but DRM! --- sounds so much alike, but this extends from 6025 to 6035. Uplooked
later, RRI Galbeni, Romania is in DRM at 2100-2130 in French to Europe. English
at 2130 goes back to analog but I had already outtuned (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** GUIANA FRENCH. 17870-17875-17880, DRM noise is back on one of its favourite
channels, Dec 11 at 1926. A notice from TDF via DRM honcho Jacques Gruson to
Simone via drmna yg via Alokesh Gupta, dxldyg says
``DRM transmissions on 17875 kHz will be performed from Montsin?ry (French
Guiana) 1300 to 2145 UT towards Brazil from Tuesday 8 December to Thursday 17
December included. In fact, last Tuesday, it actually started at 1700 UT``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ITALY [non]. At 2120 Dec 11, noise blob from my half-on DeLonghi oil heater
had QSYed upward ranging 15435-15490, centered about 15465 ex-15435; other like
blobs spanned 15170-15220, and 15695-15750, the latter bad news for RNZI
15715-15720-15725 DRM in the WOR HQ area, currently scheduled 2051-2235, I
think; noise vs noise! QSY is probably only margin of error in device not
designed as RF heater (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 15550-USB, no sign of WJHR Milton FL either the morning of Dec 11 nor
at 1925 check (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 7465, checking to confirm WORLD OF RADIO 1490 airage on WWCR
scheduled Friday 2130, but Dec 11 there was a ``Creation Moment`` (standard
disclaimer), and a string of PSAs including Community Coalition = anti-drug (or
as the Brits insist on saying, anti-drugS), heart disease screening courtesy of
MEDICARE.gov or 1-800-MEDICARE, USDHS, WWCR ID by Dr Plummer, but then opening
in Spanish ``hasta 2,300 horas``, and at 2133 Frecuencia al D?a a semi-hour
early. But at 2135 cut to WORLD OF RADIO, and played to conclusion a few
minutes past 2200. Another example to reinforce our advice: if you don`t hear
WOR exactly at scheduled time on some of our affiliates, don`t give up (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###
