Peru, 4775, Radio Tarma, 1035-1100, Noted a program
of Huaynos type music and
Spanish language comments between and during the
musical selections. The signal
is continously fading into the noise as the "clock
ticks" which results in Tarma being
threshold by 1048. (Chuck Bolland, October 7, 2010)
Peru, 6019.26, Radio Victoria, 1050-1100, Covered with
the stronger signal from Australia
on 6020KHz, noted a program of preaching in Spanish
from Victoria. Victoria is very
threshold due to the stronger RA signal. Notching out
RA does not improve on Victoria's
quality, it remains at a threshold level. (Chuck
Bolland, October 7, 2010)

The Sitkunai ( Lithuania) transmitter broadcasts with "AM"-modulation.
The RMRC hopes that these broadcasts can be heard all over the world.

** ANTARCTICA. 15476, LRA36 carrier at 1423 Oct 7, weaker than het from 15480
Rampisham (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake Oct 7:
10500, fair at 1146; gone at 1417
Nothing on 8400, or 8600 where SOH has been reported jamming-free.
No other Firedrake found to 1230
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. We knew it couldn`t last: altho Oct 6, RHC was VG in English on 11760
until 0600, nothing there Oct 7 at 0528 check; at 0530 on 49m English was
found, from best to worst in terms of strength+modulation: 5970, 6010, 6150,
and missing from 6060. Spanish on 6120 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GUATEMALA. 4055, looking for R. Verdad, Oct 7 at 0535 but cannot detect it,
so apparently off early again. Awake again at 1105, and still not there (tho at
both times very weak carrier on 4050, presumably KWMO x 3). Did not get back to
4055 until 1134 and now it`s on with music, carrier but modulation a bit mushy;
next song Adeste Fideles, but could not decide in which language: our first
Xmas carol of the season!(?) by chorus and guitar, tune of ``O Come, Let Us
Adore Him``, maybe local performance; segu? to more music past 1136 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** JAPAN [and non]. Another trans-Pacific MW bandscan on 9 kHz steps, Oct 7
from 1154, detected carriers in LSB position: 567, 594, 747. At 1201 in USB
position, signals must have been peaking: 556, 567, 585, 594, 648, 693, 747,
774, 828, 855-, 882, 891, 972, 1053, 1098, 1116, 1197, 1287. But most of them
were just barely detectable weak carriers, given away by the pitch of their
hets against the off-tuned BFO.
Meanwhile I concentrated on 747 as best bet for audio, from 300 kW NHK-2, JOIB
Sapporo: at 1159 a bit of audio; 1200 resounding prolonged timesignal tone, but
could not hear pips leading up to it. 1208 now definitely audio, alternating
Japanese and elementary American English phrases in language lesson; gone by
1212 as were the other carriers. Had more problem from KRMG 740 Tulsa splatter
than anything on 750 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** LIBERIA [non]. Re my previous report of 4025, Star Radio possibly back here?
More chex for even a carrier have been unsuccessful, e.g. Oct 7 at 0535. We
must watch out for Europirate, Laser Hot Hits, but that is on 4026. Still
waiting for any confirmation that Star is still on 3960 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** MOROCCO. 15340, astounded to hear Arabic music here from RTM, Oct 7 at 1424,
no het since it`s no longer on 15341! Remains to be heard if this has been
permanently fixed (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NETHERLANDS [non]. 7360, finding good signal from RNW in Dutch, Oct 7 at
1126, I stay tuned for the secret two-sesqui-minute English broadcast which
inevitably follows. A bit of music was cut for the Neth NA, dead air and at
1127 hear crowd noise and talk in unID language, but soon voiced-over in
English, about baka(?), African yodel-like vocalizing, outro as a docu from
2004y, RNW ID ``on satellite and internet``, no mention of SW --- what do they
know? And scarcely starting next show, The State We`re In, until cut off
modulation at 1130 sharp, but continuing with open carrier for at least two
minutes. Meanwhile, CRI IS and opening Thai could be heard underneath. This
conveniently did not start modulating until RNW was finished at 1130, tho many
CRI broadcasts have a 3-minute pr?lude.
The RNW relay is 250 kW, 21 degrees via IBB, Tinang, PHILIPPINES, so also
USward. CRI is 100 kW, 184 degrees via Kunming at 1130-1230, plus another hour
in Lao; the two are very similar and to a large degree interunderstandable
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NEW ZEALAND. 6170, surprised to run across RNZI here with news about
Auckland at the unscheduled early hour of 0531 Oct 7. I had just heard them a
few minutes earlier on 11725 as I was checking 25m for RHC. So I go back to
11725 and find they are indeed missing from there (it`s possible they could be
running both transmitters in AM), but when I get back to 6170 at 0533, it`s
gone from there. Back again to 11725, and voil?, RNZI has resumed on that
frequency, and also audible DRM noise 11670-11675-11680. I guess they were
again checking out their frequency-switching, and yes it worx, but disrupting
programming and listening. I consider myself extremely fortunate to have caught
them in this anomaly (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SOLOMON ISLANDS. 5020-, Oct 7 at 1102, SIBC with YL news in English,
slightly on the low side compared to Australia 6020, but as usual too much ACI
from Cuba 5025. Seemed like real rather than Pidgin English but can`t be
positive (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 7555, WEWN, Oct 7 at 0543, usual unxuous luney announcer repeating
over and over ``por su dolorosa pasi?n``, what a downer, in between YL on phone
talking about misericordia. Don`t the Catholix ever tire of this constant
boring repetition, or is their faith so fragile that it must be reinforced so
mindlessly? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9265, Oct 7 at 1144 an unrecognizable piano concerto excerpt, cut at
1145 to Family Radio trumpet IS, into Spanish plugging Bible study. As if FR
didn`t have enough transmitters in Okeechobee, this is an hour via WINB, with
usual unstable carrier.
Whenever I hear a bit of classical music on WYFR I almost sob, realizing what
marvelous good could be done if just ONE of the dozen transmitters in
Okeechobee could be dedicated to fine arts or public radio programming on SW to
Vancouver! Perhaps there will be a fire sale after Family Radio collapses May
21, 2011, so visionary public radio stations should be ready to pounce (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 7210-LSB, Nelson, N1NR, PA heard an hour earlier than last time, Oct
7 at 1120 in Spanish QSO talking about b?isbol, but can`t resist a dig at the
DentroCuban commies, where a player earns only $17 a month, vs $30 million (a
year? multi-year?) in the USA (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) Previous
log was filed under CUBA [non]
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1533, first broadcast confirmed on WRMI, Thursday Oct
7 at 1500, at least on webcast. Next airings should be: Thu 1900 WBCQ 7415, Thu
2100 WRMI 9955, Fri 0330 WWRB 3185, Fri 1400 WRMI 9955, Fri 2030 WWCR 15825. A
minor correxion: I mention HCJB 15400 Australia being for S Asia, but it`s
really for E Asia (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** VATICAN [non]. 9900, Oct 7 at 1223 Russian tune-up tones, on and off;
1229:30 VR IS, 1230 bells, theme, opening in Chinese with ID. This is 100 kW,
111 degrees via Novosibirsk, RUSSIA at 1230-1315 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 15260-15265-15270, DRM noise at 1424 Oct 7, something new.
Suspect it`s a special broadcast for the Eighth Biennial in Mexico City, an
electronix show, but whence? Whoever is doing it did not bother to inform the
DRM DX schedule at http://www.drm-dx.de/ ---
nor are there any reports of it in the accompanying forums.
There are however many reports of a pre-publicized DRM special via GUIANA
FRENCH to the Biennial, but apparently concluded now, at
http://www.drmrx.org/forum/showthread.php?t=2261
October 04, 05 and 06 2010 -
19.00-24.00 UTC : 17650 kHz
00.00-04.00 UTC : 12110 kHz
Also about those at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/drmna/messages
but not a single hit searching on 15265. Once again, a non-DRM listener
discovers a DRM transmission none of the DRM crowd know about, since they don`t
tune around, but depend on being notified. An exercise in piety even if not
from the Vatican (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###
