Dan,
present footprints today are
15430.000, suffers by minus 60 Hertz whistle tone in Tokoy though,
but latter not heard in Europe,
and 17840.006 kHz.
On various remote units near Tokyo Japan the 15430 kHz signal is poor S=4-5,
but little stronger on 17840 kHz.
Both heard stronger in Europe than in Japan.

US WEWN English underneath.
AOKI list show 15608/15607 also VoTibet shortwave broadcast, but in Chinese

** AUSTRALIA. 12365-USB, May 1 at 1348, poor signal with marine weather in
Aussie robo-accent; altho well-enunciated, never can copy names of locations,
but frequent references to knots. Even weaker signal with same voice but not //
on 12362-USB causes QRM to 12365 on the FRG-7`s wide bandwidth. At 1355, 12362
apparently IDs and gives schedule with times and kHz, and both stop. Then 12365
resumes with a different voice. EiBi shows 12365 is VMC Charleville,
Queensland, while 12362 is VLW, its sibling station from Wiluna, Western
Australia (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** AUSTRALIA [and non]. 11665, May 1 at 1310, CCI between Chinese and presumed
Malay, as for A-13, RA moved its 1300-1430 Chinese service (and English
1430-1530) from 11660 to 11665 (presumably because CRI is now registered on
11660), but what about poor MALAYSIA, which has been on 11665 up to 24 hours a
day with the Wai and Sarawak FM relays from the peninsular mainland back to
Borneo? RA`s move-in would surely cause a collision not only here but in the SE
Asian target area. Compared to RA Chinese via PALAU on 9965, which is clear and
a few seconds behind 11665 from Shepparton. Not sure if the Malaysian 11665
transmitter is // 9835, but a similar-sounding song was playing. I think they
are normally different networks, Sarawak FM on 9835 and Wai FM on 11665 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BANGLADESH. 15505, May 1 at 1358, open carrier with flutter, 1359 BB IS is
JBA, timesignal at imagination level maybe ending at 1359:38 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. 13795, May 1 at 1306, Firedrake very poor but only audible here.
Still at 1344, with CCI from RFA Tibetan via KUWAIT.
CNR1 jamming instead of Firedrake, before 1400:
13830, very poor at 1344
13920, fair at 1344 with flutter
Cursory search 12-18 MHz did not find any others, with subnormal propagation
today (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. 11760, May 1 at 1308, the only signal mixing with RHC Spanish is CRI
English, which has always been scheduled at 12-14 via Kunming, but had been
covered by CNR1 jamming vs Sound of Hope, Taiwan, at 13-15, that CNR1 jammitter
also the source of the 8-kHz constellation of spurs we heard until a week+ ago.
The ChiCom even jam their own transmissions if something else ``happens`` to be
on same frequency. Therefore this SOH broadcast, which was a 300 kW Tanshui
site transmitter, is off.
Falung Gong`s Epoch Times recently revealed that due to ChiCom pressure, Taiwan
is closing down some SW transmitter sites, and canceling relays of SOH among
others. The article even said that RTI would be going off SW, but this has been
explicitly denied by Paula at RTI to monitor Don Rhodes, Australia.
Keith Perron explains in the next DXLD that there is a lot more to this than
meets the eye; but in any event, there may be less SOH on high-power Taiwan
transmitters and consequently less need for ChiCom jamming of one kind or
another (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 6165, May 1 at 0058, RHC is already on prior to scheduled 0100
English, but now with Spanish undermodulation // 6100. Same at 0103, no English
yet unlike 6010. One can only envisage a mess of patchcords on the distribution
panel always getting misplaced.
13740, May 1 at 1401, CRI English relay is supposed to be underway, but dead
air until JIP at 1401:50 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. 9680, May 1 at 1315, open carrier/dead air is atop the China
radio war, i.e. RRI; 1316 Indonesian audio cuts on. 1342 check, dead air again.
What a messed up station. They are oblivious to heavy co-channel QRM, and can`t
keep their own modulation going either (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MALAYSIA. 11665, collision with AUSTRALIA: q.v.
** MEXICO. 6185, May 1 at 0510, XEPPM carrier is still on but no modulation
when they might as well let RFI news relay be heard in the western hemisphere
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PERU. 5980, May 1 at 0053 carrier is audible from R. Chaski; some modulation
audible after 0100 until cut off in mid-word at 0104:53* (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** PHILIPPINES. 12095, May 1 at 1233, gospel harmonies from FEBC, no sign of
the distorted blob 12097-12098 heard 48 hours earlier, and not checked 24 hours
earlier; 12105 KSDA is a lot stronger on the other side (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** SARAWAK [non]. 17840, May 1 at 1205, trying to sort out what`s happening
with R. Free Sarawak during what may be its final days leading up to the
elexion May 5: 17840 is weak but stronger than 15430 and 15460 which also have
signals, upon all of which RFS has been reported recently, but nothing on the
fourth alleged channel, 17430 (a typo for 15430??). Almost all talk in presumed
Iban; checked periodically the rest of the hour, as signals improved
marginally, but all too weak to evaluate synchrony adequately, except they
sound similar but don`t match exactly. Also bothered by local line noise level
coming and going. Altho DX Re Mix News` latest schedule missed 17840
completely, it is best here, then 15430, then 15460. At 1253, 15460 seems to be
closer to 17840; 17840 cuts off at 1258:48* after a bit of music which revealed
17840 was a few seconds behind 15430, which then cut off at about 1259:25*.
HFCC May 1 now accounts for 15430: ``15430 1100 1300 51W,54 DHA 500 105 15 218
14567 010513 271013 D 20600 Iban UAE BAB BAB 18683``
Note the effective date is only today while 15430 has been heard previously.
And note the limited days of week: Wednesday thru Sunday, perhaps alluding to
termination after May 5, elexion day, despite the default end-date of 27
October. But what if the RFS side loses --- are they just going to give up
broadcasts and everything?
Nothing about this in HFCC on 15460, supposedly with NHK Japanese from Yamata
at 12-14; and nothing on 17840. 15430 is the only entry in the entire HFCC
roster specifying Iban language, tho many lack any language info (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SOUTH AFRICA. 7230, May 1 at 0513, Channel Africa with English news about
Angola, poor signal. Don`t hear this much, while domestic R. Sonder Grense also
via Meyerton on 7285 is regular. 7230 is 100 kW at 5 degrees and M-F only; 7285
is 100 kW at 275 degrees, which happens to be much more favorable USward (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 5085, UT Wednesday May 1 at 0055, WTWW-2 is on with another `QSO`
show playback, ham ISS interview about EVA; probably only until 0100 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 690, May 1 at 0459 UT, Health Care 411 PSA, pause lacking any ID
before 0500 Fox `news`. Usual SAH from open carrier, so KGGF KS evidently
closed early again, no taps, ceding the channel to KTSM El Paso TX (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 960, May 1 at 0501-0505 UT, KGWA Fox-hole audiblizes weak ABC news
echoing, and then blues music, i.e. KMA, KGKL and WABG (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1420+, May 1 at 1219 UT, somestation is off-frequency to hi side,
causing a LAH; to be checked further (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Logs for May 1st
This week is the holy week for Greeks . First of May is work off for
public sector but normal work day for private sector.
Today propagation is rather week from Asia as shown in the logs below
Ther were also some iregualrities on the MW band as before 0930 only the
closer stations could be heard . After 0945 I monitored some opening from
Algeria on 531 kHz and Hungary on 540
MY most awaited catch:
11610 Sharooqa finally heard !!! 1610 YL with stringed instrument S6-7 Id
by OM and echoed (not clear with many talks in AR ) Program seems
religious (?? Catholic? )as al kitab was mentioned several times . then
HOA songs were aired. Therefore I can suppose that the program is aimed
towards Somalia (??) .
Question : I read that Sharooqa means sunrise . Is this station related
to R Sunrise of UK? AFAIK in older times was a possibly successful Indian
song station .Is far as I can remember it was transmitted on 1458 and via
satellite
Below are logs only on shortwave using R75 with 2x16inv V and HF150 with
16 m hor antenna and with the help of DX remix bulletins :
15275 Pakistan 0535 rather poor at S1 mean with S3 while 17830 is just
marginal
9677 V Talishistan poor carrier on 0900 but no content !
15400 Kenyalang is blocked (?)by the local FDM like beacons of signal S4
13820 KLL Ge 0907 song chary chery lady and signal S3 max . at1057
talks by man in German. on 1100 there was the grman version of easy
rider
12105 & 15515 AWR in CC but signals are both marginal Some delay of ca 1
secs (just based on speakers voices!)
15430 RF Sarawak 1118 heard under Romania. Both have same center carrier
frq so that someone could suppose that RFS is transmitted together with
RRI ! Prg : discussions in Malay . on 1157 tune in found RRI off the freq
leaving RFS in the clear with S5 max signal
15720 (S4)and 17720 (S1) Pakistan in Chinese prg with quranic sermons
like prg on 1210 . clock (!) then man with news . Both with garbled
modulation
12085 AWR via TRM 1242 signal is S1
15390 Atme yatra? 1302 in a Bamar lang S1 only!
11860 V Wilderness 1312 with talks by YL 1316 short music bridges S4
15535 R Cairo (by freq scan veried by DX remix) 1327 with tals in AR then
typical Arabic pop song . garbled modulation
7265 HLR on 1333 found with sub-marginal signal (S1 with preamp ! ) 1 sec
fades !!
12105 R Dialogue 1616 ID by YL and mentioning on election time Hilife
songs in English S10 QRMed by 12110 of S20 signal
