Yura (aka R. Yatun Ayllu Yura, Yura, San Antonio de Quijarro). Decent opening to the Andes 3/1, noted thru high ambient noise level at 1025. YL tlks with patriotic theme, catching words la libertad . . . importancia . . . la patria . . .. Weak signal in high QRN but caught ID 1033, R Yura . . . las cinco de la manana y tres minutos . . . m.b. dias, amables oyentes . . . Sig fading down by 1040, about as late as I can ever hold onto a 60 meter Bolivian in the Midwest. (R Perry, Illinois) PERU - 4746.97, Radio Huanta Dos Mil, OM dj playing huaynos at 1022 on 3/1, pretty good signal and my clue to hunt for other, more desired Andean stations (see above). Came back to recheck at 1042 and caught nice ID by OM, R Huanta Dos Mil . . . (R Perry, Illinois) UNID - 5019.85, unid station noted 1045 during pause in Cuba 5025 modulation, but rocked by splatter shortly thereafter when Cuba ended brief silent period. YL tlks to the hour, then OM with what sounded like newscast. Couldn't make content out very well at all, but tempo and 'shape' of speech sounded like it could have been English. Would love to hear the Solomons again, after all these years, so will keep watching / working this fqy. (R Perry, Illinois) INDONESIA - 9525.93v (to .96) - Voice of Indonesia. Fair sig poking hole in the band here, and wandering a bit. Was previously on the low side of 9525 and am hearing it better now, in new location above 9525. (Listening in exalted carrier SSB so was tracking fqy, from .93 at 1302 tune-in, up to .96 by 1314 and then back down to .93.) At 1302 EE nx and comment by OM, 1307 musical burst and into EE pgm narrated by YL. At 1314, after orchl burst, This is the Voice of Indonesia... f/by an organ rift, and ID again at 1318. At 1320, rather monotonous sparse gamelan band (very few instruments) gonging away, with YL talking over, in spurts. At 1331, nice ID as she mentioned, Greetings, where ever you are! This is the Voice of Indonesia . . . Then into a local musical program with interesting fare -- music was a capella choral, from the far eastern Indonesian islands -- therefore, a tip of the cap to Voice of Indonesia. It is noteworthy, in this traditionally totally Javanese-dominated country, to see the more far-flung areas getting some respect on the country's international service.

[HCDX] Glenn Hauser logs March 3-4, 2011
** ANTARCTICA. 15476, another week has gone by and LRA36 still hasn`t shown up, despite reactivation plans. Time for another phone inquiry by Roberto Scaglione`s contributor in Misiones. No signal at all March 4 at 1357, 1420, 1453, 1500 chex; but propagation was subnormal overall (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA [and non]. 5040, RHC Spanish has been signing off circa 0600 like all the other frequencies since beginning of Feb, but March 4 it`s still on at 0642 during an Arnie Coro science talk; not on 6120 which used to be //, but all four English frequencies are on as usual until 0700. I almost thought there was a fifth on 5970, a previous real RHC frequency, but that was a receiver-produced leapfrog due to overloading the FRG-7, 6050 over 6010, plus various other spots unless attenuated. So perhaps RHC has decided to run at least its NVIS channel 5040 later again if not all-night with Spanish, still at 0653 final check. 15360, March 4 at 1454, RHC missing, tho it was there earlier, so instead we hear Persian from RFI; but RHC cuts back on before 1455, drat (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** GERMANY [non]. 21780, since DW via UK was inbooming yesterday, I check a bit earlier for it March 4, but propagation is pitiful today on 13m, at 1346 JBA carrier. Solar flux hit 121 on March 3; K-index at 1200 March 4 was 4, 1500 down to 3, but still too much (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** GUAM. 5765-USB, active March 4 at 1331 check with talk features, one from ESPN Radio (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** GUINEA. 7125, intruder RTG on again March 4 at 0647 check, F-G signal but undermodulated in French (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** INDONESIA. 9526-, VOI, 1501 March 4, music, intermittent audio dropouts (IADs), but VG signal, English ID including ``9525, 15150, 11785``, all wrong, ``Sound of Dignity``; 1502 ``welcome back to our English program``, summary of contents for March 4, IADs getting really bad, opening news, and cut off the air abruptly at 1502:50* before the first item could be conveyed (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** KOREA NORTH [non]. 5985, Sea Breeze via JAPAN, March 4 at 1415 poor with YL in English and characteristic music bit, just enough to confirm they are still here with English on Friday. Also the het from MYANMAR 5986- (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** KURDISTAN [non]. 11530, V. of Mesopotamia, via UKRAINE, is in the clear after WYFR finishes Portuguese at 1345, March 4, until its own QSY at 1500 to 7540; initially with music, but disappointingly with Kurdish conversations at further chex 1420-1425, still talk, weakening at 1449 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** LIBYA. VOAf from the GJ, March 4: At 1404 and 1420, nothing audible on 21695 or 17725, but propagation is subnormal especially on 13m. By 1456, weak and undermodulated signal on 17725; 1457 still nothing on 21695, altho Spain 21610 and 21570 have built up sufficiently. Nothing on 21660 either. 1508, some talk audible on 17725, no 21. At 1532 still no 21695, but I detect a very weak carrier on 21660. It was last Friday only that they appeared on 21660 instead of 21695. Perhaps the holy-day relief operator picks the wrong frequency? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** SPAIN [and non]. REE Euskera/Basque service missing again on this Friday March 4: 11815 via CR, at 1343 discussing cinema in Castilian, SAH from Japan and/or Turkey. 1347 on 17595 direct, rock song in English but can`t understand more than an occasional word; 1350 ``En Cinco Minutos`` talk feature in Castilian, about privatization of water resources --- what happened in Cochabamba now threatens Madrid. 1355 another rock song in English, Feist-like. These smack of plug-in fillers, lacking Basque (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** TURKEY. Re VOT in last report: if you can hear it, the current English program schedule is in DXLD 11-09, http://www.w4uvh.net/dxld1109.txt (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 13750, March 4 as I tune across at 1359 I hear a bit of the Radio Martí theme music until 1400*. This was VOA Spanish (altho in the final semihour mostly rock music in English), so must have been a switching error. Watch out! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 11715-, KJES Friday March 4 at 1450, catechisms by YL in English, robo-responses by group, VG signal makes the undermodulation sufficient; with audible het. This time no correlation with WWCR 13845, still weak (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. WJHR after a brief excursion to 15500-USB, continues to be heard on 15550-USB, its original frequency: March 3 at 1419 with fair signal, March 4 at 1533, good but with that constant FB gospel huxter. What a waste! BTW, the WRTH listing of Wednesdays only, day=4, may derive from reading the wrong column in the FCC schedule: 15550 1400 2200 WJHR 5054 1234567
