Indonesia, 9680.051, RRI Jakarta, 1030-1045, Nice signal at tune in with
popular music.
An earlier check was very poor, however after a half hour's wait the signal
faded in
nicely. The music continues with no interruptions until 1033 when a female
comments
in Indonesian language comments. (Chuck Bolland, April 28, 2012)
Indonesia, 9525.985, Voice of Indonesia, 1035-1050, Noted a very weak
signal here
with an occasional comment fading in over the noise. No other details were
noted
as this remained worst than threshold. (Chuck Bolland, April 28, 2012)

AUSTRALIA. Contrary to my assumption in last report, RA has just made major
frequency schedule changes, a month after A-12 began for everyone else,
rather than being on `wrong` frequencies.
13630, April 27 at 0505, RA fair here about PNG, // good 15515, but missing
from 13690 and 15160. Previously, RA English had been reliable on four
frequencies at this hour, 13630, 13690, 15160 and 15240.
15240 is on with Indonesian now, altho language lessons in English. Learning
how to say ``stand still while we search your suitcase`` at 0519, seems to
be called `English for Study in Australia`, then music. Alternating English
and Indonesian semihours at midday had previously been on 15415.
A very weak signal on 15415 at 0514 seems // the other RA English, 15515 and
13630, altho this one is toward Asia and sometimes separate.
At 1254, I find the same situation as yesterday morning, 9590 is gone, 9580
is still on, as is much weaker 9475. 9560 is also gone. 9890 is not on yet.
6020 is audible but no DRM or AM on 5995. 6140 seems to be on, very weak
Singapore relay. Then I find another new one, 11945, all of these in
English.
>From *1259, 9890 is now on just in time for news on the hour, and 11945,
9580 continue. Can`t tell about 9475 with WTWW just starting on 9479. After
1300, no RA signals audible on 6 MHz band, nor 7.
1305 program is `Asia Pacific Business`, but it`s only 10 minutes, then at
1315 `RA Album of the Week`, mostly monolog from some musician, with bits of
his music interspersed. It looks like the program schedule has also changed.
>From 1330 a show discussing religion and American politix, i.e. `Religion
and Ethics Report`. These are now displayed correctly at
http://www.radioaustralia.net.au/international/radio/programschedule?tz=0&stream=pacific
>From 1329, I can hear weak CCI underneath 9890, presumably FEBC being blown
away.
After 1400: 11945, 9890 and 9580 are still on, but no longer any 7240 which
used to start at this hour. Can`t hear any signals on 6 MHz now 2+ hours
after sunrise tho there could be some. Meanwhile I was also scanning the 13,
15 and 17 MHz bands, and found no RA, not that I expected to, in their
nightmiddle. At final check 1423, 11945 still on but weakening // 9890,
9580.
Has RA`s own, never-dated, English frequency schedule been updated as of
1530 UT April 27?
http://www.radioaustralia.net.au/international/radio/waystolisten/abc-radio-shortwave-frequency-guide.pdf
Of course not! Still shows the old usage pre-April 26, none of the new times
and frequencies above we have been hearing, and still nothing from
Shepparton registered with HFCC. I suppose the complete new schedule will
emerge eventually when they are good and ready.
9890 is not yet in Aoki; however EiBi shows this:
9890 1300-1500 AUS Radio Australia DIGITAL E Oc s
So this mess may be caused by trying to get the DRM service going, delayed
since April 1, altho 9890 is sure not in DRM yet. 11945 was already on the
schedules to E Asia, but closing at 1300.
Maybe all this will be revealed in the WRTH A-12 update, pending any day
now, via http://www.wrth.com/updates_new.asp

** AUSTRALIA. April 28, another day reconfirming fragments of new schedule of
R. Australia, which they have still failed to display on their own website:
13630 on from *0500 in English, still no 13690 or 15160.
15240 at 0501 is again in Indonesian, good signal here obviously still on one
of the Pacific azimuths, *not* toward Indonesia. While the other changes may be
intentional, surely this is a mixup. Indonesian segments had previously been on
15415 at proper angle, but now that stays in English with much weaker signal
here, and // much stronger 15515 to Pacific, equivalent strength to 15240 and
ex-15160.
As for programming, since it`s Saturday afternoon, 13630, 15415 and 15515 are
playing a silly ballgame at from before 0529, onwards.
What will happen on 15240, the Indonesian frequency which reverts to English at
0530? After a torch song in English, ``Georgia on My Mind`` as outroed in
English, a brief Indonesian announcement, and 0530 cut to English service in
mid-sentence, report about the Tasmanian Fungi Festival, I kid you not, and how
visiting Europeans and Chinese should *not* eat Aussie ``death-cap`` mushrooms
which *look* like safe ones they are familiar with. Good to know. 0533 on to
report about a Japanese soccer ball being found on the Alaska coast, having
been transported by the tsunami, and how the finder will be returning it to the
owner whose ID info was visible upon it --- an old story; I know I heard the
exact same report several days ago. According to the online program schedules,
both Asia and Pacific at 05-07 Saturday are supposed to carry ``Live talk and
music with Al Crombie``, and no ``Grandstand`` until 0700, but obviously not so.
After sunrise, too busy chasing other stuff to check much RA, but still on
9580, 9890 and 11945 before 1500. Both 9`s are off at 1504, altho something is
still JBA on 11945, supposedly in a semi-hour break between Romania and Iran
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** AUSTRALIA. 15340, April 28 at 1229, HCJB Global Voice Australia ID in
English, Melbourne address, and into another language starting with a song
about Radio Shack(?), probably just similar-sounding words! Fair signal with
regular fading, so likely SAH of about 8 Hz, from what? This is well before RHC
blows them away from 1300.
What language? HFCC shows ``raw`` at 1230-1300 Sun-Fri, but does not account
for anything on 15340 Saturdays --- surely there is something in this
continuous transmission. Aoki shows Rawang at 1230-1300 Mon-Sat with nothing on
Sundays! Both use numbers for days of week, but there should not be any
disparity with 1=Sunday for both. EiBi, OTOH specifies 1=Monday but in this
case uses letters Sun-Fri for 1230-1300 Rawang, and nothing on Saturday. WRTH
2012 shows Rawang except on Saturdays, and I`m no going to hunt thru the entire
language-order schedule for anything on Saturdays.
Ultimate authority should be HCJB itself. A-12 schedule grid at
http://www.hcjb.org.au/docs/A12_Schedule_HCJB_Australia_20120325-20121027.pdf
shows ``Myanmar - (Rawang) (raw)`` *every* day of the week at 1230-1300 on
15340. So is Rawang the name of a dialect or a program? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake April 28, before 1300:
12230, poor at 1249
13920, poor at 1249, with fax(?) QRM; none in the 14s
13935, poor at 1249, and distorted like a spur; unusual for FD
15440, fair at 1234, het on hi side; far enough from weak Turkey 15450
15555, fair at 1249; no longer on 15440
15900, good at 1241
15970, good at 1234, weaker than 15900
16100, very good at 1243
16700, poor at 1243
16980, poor at 1243
17100, fair at 1243 with noise too
17170, very poor at 1244
17250, very poor at 1244; unusual more than one at a time 17+
After 1300:
15500, fair at 1317, het on lo side
After 1400:
15615, notable for NOT being heard here at 1418 vs WEWN, but could have just
gone off (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA [and non]. 15600, April 28 at 1238, weak signal in Asian language,
music, bothered by continuous beeps at 4 per second from MCW (not just a CW
carrier off and on) on approx. 15603; evitable by side-tuning downward. Is it
jamming? Aoki and HFCC show the 15600 is CRI in Malaysian, 1230-1327, 100 kW,
175 degrees from Kunming-Anning. Continued past 1300 with music, sounds like
Indonesian announcement.
But Aoki may have the explanation: listed on 15602 is V. of Tibet via
Tajikistan, altho at 1402-1430, a notorious jumparounder both in frequency and
times. The beeping was still going long after this, at 1418; and at 1456 when
15600 again had a JBA signal when nothing is scheduled (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** EQUATORIAL GUINEA [and non]. 15190, April 27 at 2014, preacher with fair
signal on R. Africa; while VOA Botswana 15580 was very good. April 28 at 0546,
15190 is fair with preacher; I think it just came on as nothing there a few
minutes earlier. Anyone ever hear a sign-on, or do they just jump-start a
program? At this hour nothing from Nigeria on 15120, off? VOA Botswana 15580
had been JBA at 0528, improving to very poor at 0544 (Glenn Hauser, OK DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** KOREA SOUTH [non]. 9650, KBSWR via CANADA, Saturday April 28 I start
listening early enough from 1245, I think, to hear Kevin O`Donovan, but he
never showed up; just Jeff in Maryland at 1251 with `Tech Tips`, about how the
KBSWR website Quarterly Quiz has multiple choices and linx to the answers,
resulting in 100+ winners, too many to name on the air, but a clever way to get
listeners/readers to learn more about Korea (of course the winners are chosen
by the draw from the thousands who must get the answers right so easily). 1255
studio announcers with usual ``regional summary of reception conditions`` of
KBSWR, 1256 wrapping up show (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KUWAIT. 15540, Friday April 27 at 2031, R. Kuwait is playing ME music
instead of western pop! And soon found // 17550, so it`s the Arabic service
instead of English, soon confirmed by lo-key YL announcement. Reverent? Or
maybe just her late-night style. At the moment, 17550 is stronger, but with
more flutter. This means no English news summary at 2050 either. At 2100 fade
music for accurate 5+1 timesignal, news fanfare and news in Arabic, 15540
staying on until cut off at 2105:45* and // 17550 which continued.
So what has become of the English service at 18-21 on 15540? Hope it`s just a
fluke or mixup today, but R. Kuwait has always claimed in HFCC that those two
sesquihours are in Arabic, and 15540 has *never* been announced, instead
imaginary ``11990`` for English, where there was still nothing to be heard.
15540, at 1819 April 28, good signal, playing Beyonce or somebody, so sounds
like it`s back to English instead of Arabic; whew (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 6185, April 28 at 0458, open carrier, possibly just barely
modulated, blown away at 0459 by CRI English 6190 via Sackville. 0500 is the
nominal sign-off time now for XEPPM. Still need to check it earlier to hear if
they are managing to modulate (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. Another sporadic-E opening erupted April 28, only up to channel 2
audio, 60 MHz, often only ch 2 video 55 MHz; never found any activity on ch 3
or higher. All times UT.
1555 on 2, noting weak analog video activity with antenna at default aim south.
Checking 6m Es map, only a single contact displayed, between Minnesota and
Virginia, so I rotate to north in case it`s Canada, which I haven`t seen since
last summer(?), but no, the peak is SSW.
1620 on 2, TVKIDZ in lower left; 1621 an X- ID super flashes by in the upper
left for only a few sex and I can`t copy it! A circular bug in UR.
1627 on 2, strong but video only, IFE PSA, zero-CCI, AMLO ad; then some audio
fades in too, Spanish.
1628 on 2, tiny white letters super ID again flash in upper left, and this time
I make out SAN LUIS POTOSI tho the call is partially overscanned offscreen on
my 12-inch B&W Zenith which can`t be adjusted. Anyhow, it`s XHSLT, 100 kW on
net-2. They are just opening a movie with credits including John Travolta, and
SS announcer also speaks the credits, so it is going to be dubbed.
1630 on 2, AMLO large letters, apparent political ad, Presidente 2012. Is that
a party or a candidate?
1631 on 2, good fade-in with strong video, TeleActiva news promo, then f-bug in
LL for another program promo, ``El Ma?anero`` at 6:30 am L-V; more political
ads, PSA from Comisi?n Estatal Electoral de Nuevo Le?n, encouraging voting per
se.
1653 on 2, an infomercial for something is running with large MTY in lower left
and phone number across the bottom. All this is XEFB, which in my previous
heyday of TVDXing was a regular on channel 3, but it`s been on 2 for many years
now. W9WI.com listing must be in default error, showing only a CP for 0.0 kW.
1700 on 2, now it`s `Lucha Libre Azteca`, fake costumed wrestling taking a
break, 1704 has illegible bug in UR, time and temp at 26 degrees above 12:04 =
CDT. Soon back to the match which has a large eye/flame Azteca logo behind the
ring. Googling indicates this is on the Azteca 7 net, so probably skip has
shifted over to XHTAU Tampico, tho there are a bunch of other affiliates
elsewhere. Opening weakens and pretty much gone by 1740 altho by now there are
some US 6m ham contacts with Mexico.
I left the TV on anyway, and at 1816 heard a couple Spanish-sounding syllables,
meteor burst? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NETHERLANDS [non]. 17605, April 27 just as I tune in music, it cuts off the
air at 2027*. Presumably RNW via VATICAN, which is supposed to run from 1800 to
1957, but has previously been heard as late at 2057*. // 15495 continues,
opening a new English program at 2030. Bonaire is not scheduled to start 17605
until 2100 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NORTH AMERICA. 15070, April 28 at 1318, here`s Undercover Radio, on AM, at
first very poor S2-S4 peaks, but by 1324 way up to S9+5 peaks; at 1331 Dr
Benway wishes us happy new year 2007, e-mail and Merlin addresses for QSLs,
``pirate radio from the middle of nowhere``. I was listening on the breakfast
table DX-390, fed on 88.1 FM by the WT601N Part 15 transmitter plugged into the
FRG-7, only receiver which could get a decent signal from this, but went off at
1333*.
I figured that was the end of it, turned off the feeder, and finished my
strawberries, and toast with home-grown apricot jam. 1353 rechecking the FRG-7,
now he`s back on 15075 instead, and peaking S9+10, ID again with addresses,
apologizes for being behind with QSLs for UR and Progressive Music Radio`s
twentieth anniversary broadcast, but promises to get them out ASAP. But that
was years ago already.
1355 starts a tale about visiting the Solomon Islands to dive, Gizo Island
exactly, scraping a stinging coral, and he died --- or almost, as transported
to a naval medical facility in Washington DC where he was saved by being
downloaded to a biochip. All accompanied by mysterious music,
Hearts-of-Space-like.
1406 ID, as the Memorial Weekend Broadcast for 2006, more relaxing narration
with space music. 1410 warning about Commander Bunny taking over your mind and
the world in his rodent revolution; Dr Benway issues hypnotic commands on how
to cope. 1412 again offering QSL, undercoverradio @ mail.com (not gmail this
time). 1413 starts another weird dreamlike narration about colonizing a new
planet. 1420 message from the Cydonian Martians, the fourth planet to the
third; still good signal but fading a bit. 1441 mentions Memorial weekend
again, offering QSLs and off at 1442:30*. Thence did not find him on 15250 or
any other 19 m band frequency. (Still haven`t received a formal QSL for my last
unique report of that, altho he did reply by e-mail) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 15190, Saturday April 28 at 1455 very poor, Brother
Scare via IRRS via ROMANIA, and maybe with CCI from R. Africa, but off at 1458.
At 1459 I am hearing a JBA signal on 15700, presumably the Saturday-only
prolongation of BS for another bihour (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SUDAN [non]. 15650 and 15725, following other reports of V. of South Sudan
Revolutionary Radio being heard on these frequencies April 26-27, I look for
them at various times April 27-28, but nothing heard: April 27 at 2010, 2108;
April 28 after 0500, 0528. Catch as catch can, not only for DXers but Sudanese
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1614 monitoring: UT Saturday April 28 at 0130 on WBCQ
5110v-CUSB/LSB, unconfirmed, as I was recovering from mowing, but on this
week`s Area 51 schedule as 0130. Don`t know how long AWWW ran either, or what
preceded 0130, but International Radio Report not mentioned this week, as last
week it was a `special` about RCI.
9955, April 28 at 1503, gh voice is JBA from WRMI, seems more `jamming` from a
bubbling household cable DTV converter box than from Cuba. Remaining times on
WRMI: Sat 1730, Sun 0800, 1530, 1730, Mon 0500, 1130.
On WTWW: UT Sunday 0400 on 5755. On HLR Germany: Tuesday 0930 on 5980 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 15470, April 28 at 1417-1419 open carrier with some hum, maybe JBM or
atop scheduled BBC Hindi via Cyprus; no tones heard, but presumably a Greenvile
transmitter testing to be sure it`s ready for later use, i.e. English at 16-17,
94 degrees, which per HFCC started April 4 (unfortunately I didn`t uplook this
till later, but it`s supposed to be daily; which programming?) (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [non]. 15715, April 28 at 1457, tonal SE Asian language with reverb,
poor signal, mentions kHz several times, Burmese? AWR then mentioned and its
theme; 1500 Voice of Hope ID but noticeably weaker. That may be because
according to HFCC, at 1500, KSDA GUAM 100 kW 285 degrees in Burmese, turns the
frequency over to the substitute thru June Trincomalee, SRI LANKA, site, 125
kW, 60 degrees in Karen. Meanwhile, may we assume that the conflicting A-12
HFCC entry for YFR, 500 kW, 90 degrees via Wertachtal at 14-16 in Sinhala and
Kannada, is inoperative? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1140, April 28 at 0553 UT, gospel huxter in Spanish, good signal
from N/S, surely XEMR 50/50 kW, Monterrey NL? Others have reported this as ``MR
Deportes`` as listed in WRTH, IRCA and Cant? i.e. a sports format, but whenever
I hear it, there`s religion. Maybe both, like KFXY 1640 Enid? The station
website via http://www.gruporadioalegria.com/ mentions nothing but sports, and
no program schedule.
Could I really be getting a US station? I always thought it was XEMR. Prime
suspect in the NRC AM Log is KHFX, Cleburne TX near The Metroplex, but with a
Houston address, 24 hour Spanish religion as ``Radio Ato``, 5000/710 watts.
Pattern book shows its main lobe is to the NW, which would audiblize it here,
while XEMR`s is a circle tangent to Monterrey, ``everything`` going to its SW

April 29 2012
The year is speeding fast, and we have five new books to recommend
for May. These range from the classic 'Border Radio' with
spellbinding stories of the border blasters along the US-Mexico
border and characters like Wolfman Jack [$5.99]................... to
the recently published 'American Radio in China' which traces just
how American business and politics [and religion] was
entangled with Chinese broadcasting long before Mao Tse Tung began
his Long March [$47.99].
'Wireless & Empire' looks at British influences on broadcasting,
politics and business across the pre-WWII British Empire [$10] whilst
also looking back................ we have the famous 'Zenith Radio'
story about a classic radio marque [$18.75] and looking
forward......... 'How Internet Radio Can Change the World' which
reminds us that AM and FM radio networks are starting to close down
across across the world and things like towers, frequencies and
licences are becoming relics of the past [$8.57] so a good mixture of
books to enjoy this month.

supplies last, these things have been flying out the door to folks in

Bolivia, 6134.873, Radio Santa Cruz, 0009-0020, Same Frequency, same time,
same receiver, same antenna, different day, I don't know way yesterday I
couldn't pay to hear this station and today it is booming in. Noted an
Ident at 0010 as,"...transmite .... Radio Santa Cruz". With canned promos
and comments following. Plenty of ID's follow as other comments or news
follows until music is presented. Signal was fair. Rechecked at 0054
shows the signal has improved to good. (Chuck Bolland, April 29, 2012)
Bolivia, 4716.756, Radio Yura, 0020-0040, Noted music here but muffled and
in the noise
as the signal continues to fade in. Signal was poor during the period. A
recheck at 0110
revealed a female in Spanish language comments and the signal had improved
to a fair
level. Music followed that. (Chuck Bolland April 29, 2012)
Peru, 4747.126, Radio Huanta Dos Mil, 0030-0040, Another threshold signal
just beginning
to fade in with music mix into the noise. Signal was threshold too. (Chuck
Bolland
April 29, 2012)
Tajikistan, 4765.108, Radio Tajikistan, presumed, 0032-0045, At tune in
heard a weak station broadcasting music for a minute or two, the a female
comments in unknown language briefly. Afterwards, music continues. Signal
was also threshold. (Chuck Bolland,
April 29, 2012)
Peru, 6173.929, Radio Tawantinsuyo, 0055-0105, Have a faint signal here
with music
being broadcast just under the noise. Unfortunately the Voice of Vietnam
comes up on
6175 KHz covering Tawantinsuyo completely. (Chuck Bolland, April 29, 2012)
Peru, 4775.030, Radio Tarma, 0111-0130, Noted a program of steady music
being
presented. The signal remained at a poor level during the listening period.
