** AUSTRALIA. 15340, Jan 19 at 1444 het with MOROCCO [q.v.] on 15341, no doubt 
HCJB, while its other frequency 15400 is missing, already off at 1430. 15340 is 
to S Asia, large variety of languages in a complex schedule from 1145 to 1445, 
including Telugu at 1430 Wednesdays, but English daily 1445-1530 per Aoki. 
15340 also has to cope with splatter from R. Martí, Greenville 15330 (not so 
much jamming yet). 

At 1445 I hear English being spoken slowly. Wish Morocco would hurry up and 
move to 15345. At 1500-1501, it does. Now 15340 can be copied at times, Oz YL 
keeps going past 1500 about food? 1502 advice on calamine lotion vs scabs, then 
YL song, hymn? 1512 weaker, mentioning it`s an HCJB produxion, Melbourne, 
Australia ID, 15330 splash is also growing, and by 1520 with music, HCJB is 
just about gone. Presumably one of its occasional appearances by longpath 
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CANADA. 9625.1, Jan 19 at 0702, S9+12 open carrier, lite fades, more wasted 
wattage from Sackville, running CBCNQ transmitter after-hours, this time 
lacking tone test, why? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. Firedrake Jan 19:
6030, good but flutter atop Taiwan victim at 1305, still at 1350
8400, very poor at 1243

Harold Frodge has compiled all the Firedrake frequencies and times reported in 
2010y into one master list, within DXLD 11-01; quickly find it by searching on 
the first one, 5820, at
http://www.w4uvh.net/dxld1101.txt
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 9153.0, extremely strong S9+25+ open carrier before 0700 Jan 19 became 
5-character cut spy numbers at 0702, on A2, i.e. modulated 1 kHz tones on 
continuous carrier, like Arnie`s DXers Unlimited closing on RHC.

Since I quit listening after 0700 tuned to XEPPM 6185, when I turn on the FRG-7 
at 1211, it`s already off, but I hear RHC on 6190, very poor but steady // 
6000, 6095, 6140, 6150, all seeming synchronized. 6095 would leap over 6150 to 
land on 6205, so that doesn`t work out, and it would leap over 6140 (probably 
different site, undermodulated) to land on 6185, so not that either. Ahá, 6000 
leaps over 6095 another 95 kHz higher to land on 6190. Reverse leap of these 
could put a twin on 5905. Could not hear 6190 after 1216.

The RHC studio clock is losing more and more. Timechex have been running at 
least a minute slow, and Jan 19 at 1231:45 on 6000, Tony Gómez claims it`s 
``exactamente las 7 con 30 minutos``. Can`t they pick up Radio Reloj?

At 1256, 6000 and 6095 were off, transmitters about to move to 13 MHz, while 
6140 and 6150 were still on. Then 6150 went off a few sex before 1301, with 
6140 remaining, where it should stay all day.

12040, Jan 19 at 1317, RHC with echo and 3 Hz SAH, so they are running 
transmitters from both sites here! Great internal coördination. Subject: what 
else but Los 5, and Luis Posada Carriles. RHC cannot get thru a single hour 
without devoting a sizeable fraxion to these, its absolutely obsessive 
propaganda targets, yawn (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CZECHIA [non]. 9955, R. Prague in English via WRMI, Jan 19 at 0703 good but 
with lite pulse jamming on a fine night for MUF from SFL, 0704 ending news 
already, previewing topix for rest of semihour. With Radio Prague slated to 
self-destruct its own SW broadcasts at monthend, we await word whether WRMI 
will continue them beyond (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GUAM. 5765-USB, Jan 19 at 1351, AFN with C&W music, W&M DJs mentioning a 
contest on `` Country``. Better signal now than an hour earlier (Glenn 
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GUATEMALA. 4052.5-, TGAV, Jan 19 at 1220, S9+12 with music, but rather 
distorted and carrier unstable with BFO on.

Via Jan WWDXC DX News, Christoph Ratzer, Austria in A-DX forwards an undated 
reply from Dr. Madrid:
 
``We had a long fight (two years) to get our short wave transmitter on the air 
again. Thanks to Eng. Ralph Borthwick, from Canada, we got our transmitter 
repaired and a very effective new antenna built.
 
About a month ago, we had one module amplifier accidentally burned out, and 
now, we are transmitting with 210 watts only. (That was a new attack from 
Satan.) We hope to have the other amplifier repaired very soon. We are facing 
another trouble, and it is that our transmitter is delaying from one and a half 
to two hours to get started in the morning. Anyhow, our signal is very strong 
still, due to the effectiveness of the new antenna.
 
Thank you for your intentions of providing us with an offering. We are 
desperately needing offerings, but we have not received any. (You know, we 
don't ever advertise offerings. We operate by faith.)
 
If you visit our Web Site, on the left menu, there is an article entitled 
"Radio Truth up to Date". In that article, I published last week the 
information that Radio Truth is on a financial bankruptcy status right now, as 
we spent very much money on the recent repairs. And this is despite

Bolivia, 3310.02, Radio Mosoj Chaski, 2355-0005,  Noted
a male and female in conversational
Spanish until 2359 when short burst of music heard.
Then more chatter by a female and
more traditional music as new day begins.  Signal was
good.  (Chuck Bolland, January 20, 2011)
 
South Africa, 3320.03, Radio Sonder Grense, 0002-0015,
Noted a male in Africaans language
news.  Some interference noted on 3320 from utility in
Sideband with call sign Alfa Whiskey Papa.
At 0005 news finished on Sonder Grense as a female
talks.  Signal was good.  (Chuck Bolland,
January 20, 2011)
 
Honduras, 3340.01, Radio Misiones, 0006-0020,  At tune
in, noted what sounded like "Rap" 
music in Spanish language.  Signal was fair.  (Chuck
Bolland, January 20, 2011)
 
 
Peru, 4746.96, Radio Huanta Dos Mil, 0016-0025,  Noted
Huaynos type music with a male in 
Spanish language comments briefly between tunes.  Nice
signal at a fair level.  (Chuck 
Bolland, January 20, 2011)
 
 
Peru, 4774.95, Radio Tarma, 0019-0030,  Noted a program
of regular Peruvian type music,
but rather in the noise making for difficult copy.
Noted a male in Spanish comments
between tunes.   Signal was poor unfortunately. (Chuck
Bolland, January 20, 2011)
 
Brazil, 4775, Radio Congonhas, Pres, 0019-0030,  This
is a second signal next to Tarma
that is probably Congonhas.   It's pretty weak and no
audio is able to be heard.  
Signal was threshold.   (Chuck Bolland, January 20 ,
2011)
 
 
Bolivia, 4699.96, Radio San Miguel, 0008-0020,  With
what sounded like news, noted a male in Spanish 
language comments.  Signal was fair.  (Chuck Bolland,
January 20, 2011)
 
Brazil, 4845.24, Radio Cultura Ondas Tropicais,
0025-0037,  Noted a male in steady Portuguese
language comments using the echo effect throughout.
Signal was poor.  (Chuck Bolland,
January 20, 2011)
 
Peru, 5024.92, Radio Quillabamba, 0040-0050,  With a
very weak signal, noted a male in 
Spanish language comments.  Radio Rebelde is dominating
the frequency however.
Quillabamba is threshold.   (Chuck Bolland, January 20,
2011)
 
 
Comment:  Very good signals this evening for awhile.
It's a nice clear night here in
Florida with a 98 percent full moon shining down on my
antenna.  What more could
a Radio Listener want?  Anyone with similarly good
conditions tonight, drop me a
note to tell me about it if you have time?  Thanks
