Can't actually hear it well enough to identify the language, but it's definitely a female talking. At 0941 some promo type music as bridge then more comments. Signal remains at a threshold level throughout the period. Possibly a later check will reveal a better signal? That's called "wishful thinking", because a recheck at 1023 showed that conditions had gotten worse instead of better. (Chuck Bolland, October 14, 2010) Bolivia, 6134.78, Radio Santa Cruz, 0957-1005, Conditions are very bad so far on this band at this time, but I think that is only a temporary condition. Probably in a few minutes signals will improve. At present however, can hear a male in Spanish language comments as the noise smoothers the signal. On the hour music heard. Rechecked at 1022 and conditions were worse, so my prediction of better conditions never happened.(Chuck Bolland, October 14, 2010) NRD545 26.37N 081.05W -- Message: 2 Date: Thu, 14 Oct 2010 11:01:03 -0200 From: L?cio Ot?vio Bobrowiec To: , , , , , "Anker Petersen" , Subject: [HCDX] Liberia still on 3960Khz Message-ID: <001401cb6ba0$71274710$516e2...@home> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" 3960, Liberia, Star Radio.

Nigeria, Abuja, 0624 tentative ID in passing. Slightly on the low side compared to signals on MW 1350. Wolfgang Büschel explains the poor reception in Europe and North America: altho both near Abuja, this is separate from the new VON 3 x 250 kW site at Lugbe; Thomson also put in 2 x 100 kW for domestic service at the old site Gwagwalarda, some 33 km westward, same as MW 909 kHz. Looking at Google map, has dipole oriented 85/265 degrees (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** PERU. 18057.9, Oct 14 at 1357, just barely audible (JBA) carrier, first time detected in many weeks; by 1404 some modulation could be heard. No doubt it`s R. Victoria, Lima, 3 x 6019.3 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 11715, KJES, Oct 14 at 1340, M with religious exhortations, then harmonious singers with guitar accompaniment. Excellent signal like S9+30, modulation only fair but sufficient at that level, some hum. Not a chance to hear Pyongyang on 11710. My last log of KJES was Oct 5, so rather sure it had been absent ever since in daily morning bandscans. I should report on this every day like LRA36? Naah (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** WESTERN SAHARA [non]. SASASAM, Oct 14 at 0615, not on either 6297.1 nor 6248.3 --- but at next check 0628, 6297.1 was musical (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ### ---[Start Commercial]- Order your WRTH 2009: http://www.hard-core-dx.com/redirect2.php?id=wrth2009 ---[End Commercial]--- Hard-Core-DX mailing list Hard-Core-DX@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/hard-core-dx http://www.hard-core-dx.com/ ___ THE INFORMATION IN THIS ARTICLE IS FREE.
