** COSTA RICA. 5954+, Jan 5 at 0618, Spanish from R. Rep?blica is holding its
own against DentroCuban jamming, mostly atop it at the moment (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [and non]. Today`s SNAFU report on RHC: Jan 5 at 0619, RHC English
programming is doing voice-over translation with Spanish in the background ---
except on 6050 there is equal mix of something else in Spanish! RHC has its
wires crossed feeding both Spanish and English into this transmitter, as the
Spanish is // 6120 but a reverb apart, synchronized with 5040.
The other English frequencies, 6010, 6060 and 6150, do not have this problem.
Ironically, subject of the Spanish was interviewing someone in Quito about the
early history of RHC, as Arnie stix to his horrible decision to usurp HCJB`s
only frequency 6050 (tho at the moment they are in overnight 3.4-hour break).
13740, CRI 1400 relay `open` carrier Jan 5 at 1356 really surrounded by squeal
bothering VOA Spanish 13750.
13680 et al., Tony was finishing RHC frequency announcement Jan 5 at 1358; need
to catch the whole thing, to hear whether he still thinx they are on 15390 and
any other errors.
15230, Jan 5 at 1401, RHC mixing about equally with CRI English via Sackville
making 3 Hz SAH, during degraded northern reception; normally CRI is way atop;
anyhow, Commies vs Commies! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also
COSTA RICA
** INDIA. 9575, Jan 5 at 1407, weak signal with nothing but rumble audible.
Besides 24-hour M?di-Un, Morocco, only thing listed is AIR New Delhi/Kingsway
site at the moment in Bengali, but domestic service mostly in Hindi, some
English 1330-1740 per Aoki, plus same parameters with Tibetan at 1215-1315. AIR
is certainly capable of such pointless transmissions; similar pitch to 9690
where the rumble is normally low enough not to impede readability (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PHILIPPINES. 9570, checking again whether RVA has abolished Russian and
consequently R. Blagovest --- it was still on Jan 1, and yes, also Jan 5 at
1500, good signal opening hour-long broadcast with bells, ID --- but at next
check 1521, nothing there. Now what? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SPAIN. 6055, open carrier at 0620 Jan 5 preventing a smooth tuning
transition between RHC 6050 and 6060; presumably REE Noblejas was still on past
0600 but off at 0621*. No sign of the other possibility, Nikkei in Japanese
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U K [non]. 11860, re yesterday`s report of BBCWS in English here after 1300,
presumably mistake by Montsin?ry: indeed, no sign of it Jan 5 at 1352, just
very weak signal vs WYFR 11855, likely Austria via Woofferton. 25m reception
from northern Europe was not very good, but lower latitudes were fair at 1355
from RRI 11970 German, 11940 Romanian; poor 12035 Turkey.
6135, Jan 5 at 1436 poor signal in Vietnamese, quickly IDed in passing as BBC
London. I had snagged Singapore`s 15-minute broadcast, 100 kW at 13 degrees,
thus also USward and audible adjacent to Cuba 6140 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 4050-, Jan 5 at 0611 country music, S9+12 vs. noise level of S9+8
when tuned aside to clear frequency. TGAV is already off, so no het. 0613 YL
with celebrity tales about Ozzy Osbourne, Lindsey Lohan, etc., then OM ID
``13-50, KWMO``, 0615 adstring. So no doubt it is the third harmonic of the
Washington, Missouri station. Better signal than last recent log, probably on
fundamental day power 500 watts rather than night power of 84 watts, and only a
fraxion of either could be radiating on 4050. Then it faded down (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. 9405, again Jan 5 at 0626 check, JBA signal, presumably
WINB`s new and pointless overnight service with Radio 2:11. Meanwhile, 9370v
WTJC was S9+20 but as usual undermodulated. 9410 BBC was much stronger than
9405; so far WINB is incapable of bothering it (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. 9955, WRMI, UT Wed Jan 5 at 0627 concluding English version
of `CDHD Brigade 2506` exile program, speaker who doesn`t seem like a Cuban
giving his address of billmuir @ att.net and despedida by Jos? Miranda without
mentioning program name before WRMI ID. This is the one English program on WRMI
that Cuba might justify jamming, yet they do so to countless others
indiscriminately. Pulse jamming was running, but WRMI atop it at the moment
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 7170, Jan 5 at 1438, sounds like DRM noise, making me suspect
Ethiopian jamming long-path against Eritrea, but then it`s intermittent, so
maybe some ham experiment (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

Bolivia, 6134.732, Radio Santa Cruz, 2310-2320, Noted
a weak signal here with a male in
Spanish language comments. Although the signal is
weak, with a fair amount of tweeking,
it can be cleaned up to be pretty clearly heard. That
didn't last long when the signal began
to fade and around 2320 and music was presented.Still
into music at 2336, but signal very
poor. (Chuck Bolland, January 5, 2011)
Peru, 6019.262, Radio Victoria, 2339-2350, It sounds
like Victoria is not broadcasting at
this time eventhough their carriere is quite strong
because there is no audio being heard.
It's possible that there's a broadcast of something
going on now, but I can't hear it.
(Chuck Bolland, January 5, 2011)
Czech Republic, 5930, Radio Praque, 2350-2359, Noted a
program of commentary and
news in the English language. Signal was at a fair
level. (Chuck Bolland, January 5, 2011)
