ARGENTINA 11710.43 RAE 0156 end of pgm in PT. 0056-0100 tinkly 8 note IS w/occas. "RAE, Argentina" IDs by M. 5+1 time ticks, then usual fanfare mx theme w/SP ID by W and M, then multi-lingual IDs. Into what sounded like JP pgm to 0157. 0157-0200 same IS routine. Time ticks, and fanfare/ID routine. 0202 M w/date and 3 nx headlines. "Unlimited sounds on the International Service of the Argentine radio". M and W host chatter and pgm rundown. Tlk abt a Cumbia artist then mx. Fairly decent with a very subtle drift. (9 August)
PERU 3360 Radio JPJ (Jesús Párraga Jiménez) 0824 definite mx here from this new OA. 0826 what sounded like a jingle w/last syllable in last word repeating like an echo. Into lively Pop-like mx sounding like Ramones "I Wanna Be Sedated"!! Another Rock song and 0833 another brief echo jingle. Definitely "Eye of the Tiger" by Survivor at 0837-0840, then echo jingle again but lcl QRM taking over. 0844 same jingle as at 0826. Stronger audio at 0850 w/jingle just before "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" remake by Cyndi Lauper. Dance remake of "Bette Davis Eyes" at 0858 going to 0900, and into next Dance song. "Sweet Child O Mine" by Guns N Roses at 0917. Sounded like more Tropical LA Pops at 0955. Gradually faded but still audible at 1007. The jingles hrd on the website match up pretty well with what I heard. It would have been much easier if not for the horrendous QRN. (11 August) AUSTRALIA 2368.5 R. Symban 1007 strong enough to hear and differentiate mx and tlk, but that's abt it. Nice to get some audio though. A lot of thunderstorm static crashes. (14 August) PHILIPPINES 15190 PBS 1859 Hrd again w/usual promo/ID anmnt by M w/both R. Pilipinas and PBS IDs, followed by long list of network stns by M and W. Best hrd since 30 May, but still not as good. Heavy fast QSB. (21 August) PHILIPPINES 15190 PBS Went off in mid-song at 1930 today. No usual ID anmnts. Did hear the ID before at 1913+. Getting some lcl static-like QRM, and also from 15205 slop, and co-channel Inconfidencia 15189.97. (27 August) BAHRAIN 9745 R. Bahrain 2204-2257 Nothing but nonstop AR vcls and AR mx. Jammed in LSB. Clearer in USB. Another co-channel stn came on at 2230 and was equal to slightly stronger after 2237. R. Romania Int. came on at 2257 and wiped it out. May have had this earlier at 1934 heavily jammed then as well. (27 August) SARAWAK (MALAYSIA) 9835 R. Malaysia Sarawak Lcl Sarawak nx by W after 1003, ID during nx at 1006. 1010 jingle and back to mx. Fairly good at this time. Came back later and caught Koran at 1156-1202, then back to mx. RTTY QRM from 9830. (28 August) PHILIPPINES 15190 PBS *1730 caught s/on w/ID anmnts to start, full ID w/sked anmnt, ID jingle, then into mx at 1732. (28 August) BAHRAIN 9745 R. Bahrain Hrd on again w/jammer at 0006. AR mx. Definitely USB +carrier. (2 Sept.) SURINAM 4989.98 R. Apintie A strange mixture of songs after 0907. Carnival like song, fast version of pres. NA, then M anncr w/ment of Apintie, and W w/spiritual tlk. 0918 M again w/ment of FM stereo and Internet. Strong but very low modulation. (4 Sept.) UNIDENTIFIED 6104.74 UNID. Definite carrier here at 1003. Too weak and heavy QRM from 6105 Asian. Thought I did hear mx though. I hesitate to suggest the Mexican Candela FM. (4 Sept.) UNIDENTIFIED 6075.74 UNID. Instru. elevator mx at 0917. Didn't hear much more than that. Splatter from 6090. (5 Sept.) BRAZIL 5990 R. Senado 1002 canned freq anmnt by M, then ID anmnt, and into pres. nx by W. Good but fluttery. Not surprising since there were 2 solar flares in the last 6 hours.
