Low power. 4835 Khz AM The new Shortwave Australia just a little North of Melbourne near Bendigo. I like DXing these two from the states kiwiSDRs because its a real challenge I having my been using the KFS NW,and SW. Antennas at Half Moon Bay, Ca ( near San Fran) both will work but the SW edges out a little more noise and QRM from Asia Japan and china.I have always checked then at their local Sunset partially for the enhancement and partial I didn't want any QRM potential >From anything further west to Interfear.This night was different I decided to concentrate on these two Stations and check the capabilities of the KiwiSDR Features .Unique Radio seames a little louder and I hear a billboard countdown Going on from music from 1974 like " SUNDOWN " by Gordon Lightfoot and how The Cadillac was the car for 1974 they had a fair signal on the Northwest ant. At KFS california rsdr.I tried to listen to 4835 khz but it was very tough due to Over horizon radar big noise.I tried different settings and modes of like noise Filters std and wild. And with filtering like LMS. And SPEC filters it seems there A lot to learn about these and their algorithms. Finally I found the sweet spot around 1229z to 1310z where the over horizon radar shut of and wow there was That new station on 4835Khz just in time to hear YL Identify 4825 and 2310. Cool Beans I'm hearing music from the 1930,S like were in the money at1229z And 1239z at NL S4 plus signal about S5 using the SW antenna listening between lSB and USB with the mouse filter in STD and the SPEC Filter ON.gave me the best Signal to noise ratio even when I tried am for more fidelity it unfortunately let in more noise.this is where I recorded 8.32mb in mp3 to check later.This Same Set up worked well with unique radio on 5035 khc usb as well.I feel I learned a Little more about settings in tough spots and feel I can really benefit from this Especially in medium wave Dxing.If you know More about kiwisdr,s please let me know.I'm all Ears. 73s good dx.

Tnx to tip from Manuel M?ndez, Spain, who reported this yesterday to the WOR iog: ``R?dio Nacional de Angola, 4949,7 on air after months without detecting it --- Manuel M?ndez, Lugo, Spain, Log in Reinante, NW of Spain, Tecsun PL-880, cable antenna, 8 meters: ANGOLA, 4949.7, R?dio Nacional de Angola, Mulenvos, 1956-2016, 14-07, comments, songs. Strong carrier, extremely weak audio, barely audible, best on LSB.`` Tropical Bands Monitor as of 1 July shows this on 4949.7 had been reported this year only in January and March. Once upon a time RNA ran all-night and its off-frequency carrier at least could be detected in deep North America. As of last year, WRTH showed 4950 as 24 h with A program in Portuguese, nominal 25 kW; while MW 945 had some foreign languages local evenings (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RCUSB, July 15 at 1852, LRA36 is on with a surprise late Friday broadcast; tnx to tips from Hugo L?pez, Chile and Manuel M?ndez, Spain. Sufficient S5/S9 into Argentine SDR. Amid interview of a guy by the gals who are laughing a lot. He`s talking about high winds and other weather info, mentions Centro Meteorol?gico Marambio, so maybe he`s visiting from that other base. Only QRM occasional clix. Unfortunately at 1900-2000 UT Fridays I always listen to KUCO for `The Score` cinemusic in $tereo. LRA36 is off by my next chance to check at 2022. Maybe this compensate for totally missing their scheduled Wednesday 1500 transmission? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** BRAZIL. Correxion to a typo not noticed by me until July 14. Is anyone paying attention? I wish I were before I publish an error! Second frequency was given as 9873.86 instead of 9673.86; FIXED: 9673.80 / 9673.86, July 9 at 0621, RVM praise music jumping around these two spots as I try to measure it. Anyeditor who published this error must now also publish this correxion (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** EGYPT. 9440, July 15 at 2133 and 2201, NO signal in English from R. Cairo into UTwente; it`s better than something since something`s always egregious in Egypt (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SRI LANKA [non]. 11750, July 15 at 1650, no signal of SLBC into Kuwait SDR; supposedly 1630-1830 with domestic service relay. Had not paid attention before but checking now whether it be off due to strife. At 1620-1650, VIRI blox 11750 in Bengali: how could they possibly know about SLBC since it`s not in HFCC? After Qur`an, 1630 chimes and ``Radio Tehran`` ID. After 1700 into Bengaluru SDR, nothing either on 11750. I have the vague impression that SLBC 11750 may have been sporadic already. The other times to seek SLBC are 0030-0100 and 0200-0230 on 11905, often reported from N America. Of course there are lots of relays via Trincomalee site: Aoki has 36 entries including SLBC. Other have reported some of those still on. BTW, the protesters` takeover of SLBC TV I quoted on WOR 2147 turned out to be a bit exaggerated: they were allowed on for 15 minutes. I thought it somewhat suspicious that the language signer in the corner continued during clip unabated. See this via Ron Howard, WOR iog: BBC news story - "Sri Lanka: The fake ?invasions? of a broadcaster and Central Bank" https://news.yahoo.com/sri-lanka-fake-invasions-broadcaster-080717044.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 9830, July 15 at 2201 and 2212, NO signal from VOT English into UTwente, but something weak, presumably CNR1 Beijing 572 site also scheduled. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A.

Not confirmed UT Friday July 15 at 0330 on WRMI 7780: rather, previous WOR 2146 aired again; not sure why, some file mixup? But I have rechecked that 2147 is ready for all subsequent airings on WRMI thru July 21. Also confirmed Friday July 15 at 1430 on WRMI 9955; inaudible at Bonaire where it`s aimed but S7/9+10 direct, no jamming audible. A 2-minute music buffer at 1428 following the Tourette`s gospel huxter blaster preceding. Confirmed NOT airing Friday July 15 at 1815 on IRRS 7290, AM Italia 1323, 918, usual third-Friday pre-emption for some classic rock; checked via UTwente and Noale SDRs. Confirmed the MW-only AM Italia airing Friday July 15 at 2030 on 918 & 1323 kHz; 918 at S9/+5 is better than 1323 only S7/S8, and no LW 207; but by 2031, 918 cuts off and on the air, and/or when on without modulation.

Ailing? Yes, a twit as of 13 hours before 0000 UT July 16: ``Allan Weiner @AllanWBCQ ? 13h --- Working at the stations. The great 500 KW transmitter is down. Very complex. All of us troubleshooting now. Free speech radio continues. Angela & Allan on tonight at 8pm eastern on 7490/6160/5130/3265khz. Support radio-please listen. Your prayers appreciated. The big one??.`` Well, UT Sat July 16 after 0000, 3265 is JBA S5 at Maryland SDR, mostly local and storm noise but SAM as carrier +151 Hz = 3265.152v. 3265.153v much better S8/S9 into nearest PEI SDR. Apparently during AAAWWW original broadcast is only time it`s occasionally onturned. 3265 is not even included in the program guide. A new AAAWWW, since discussing the Webb Space Telescope images. Angela is not within grasp of Allan but on a lo-fi remote phone line. I guess he is in ME, she in FL. Or, ``she is on an errand``. Almost whole program is Allan lexuring us on the Universe and Everything, Relativity, with the inevitable Christian undertones. I`m listening via the 7490v webcast.

BUT same remain on air Saturdays and Sundays with TOMBS. No other Off Air times are shown. Absent 5890 also deprives us of the leapfrog mixing product over 5935 landing on 5980.
