Swarawak (non) 15420.034, Radio Free Sarawak (Tent) 1210-1220, Noted a male
and female
in Lang(?) comments like a news cast until 1214. At that time singing type
music began.
Probably local type music? Anyway, signal remained fair until 1220 when it
began to
fad badely due to the local sunrise getting higher. At the beginning
however, the signal
was rather easy to hold on to. (Chuck Bolland, April 18, 2011)

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1
** ALBANIA. 13625, April 18 at 1443, R. Tirana English to North America in the
clear, fluxuating S7 to S9+5, but just barely modulated; useless (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ANTARCTICA. 15476, April 18 at 1229-1233+ music, very poor but enough to
confirm LRA36 is on the air today; by 1432 no carrier detectable, supposed to
run until 1500 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ASIA [non]. 17855, April 18 at 0524, good signal, in fact the SSOB, with
informal Chinese conversation, one side on the phone. 0540 quite a bit weaker,
with a bit of the `diamond` theme R. Free Asia uses, and now there may be some
CCI = jamming. This RFA is 03-07, 100 kW, 310 degrees from SAIPAN (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** AUSTRALIA [and non]. 15400, April 18 at 1235, HCJB with slow-English talk
about lead poisoning. It`s the Spotlight program produced by FEBA for English
learning and stealth religious indoctrination, M-F 1230-1245. Good signal but
with flutter, also infesting so many extracontinental emissions on the bands
today during propagation disturbance (but not all, e.g. Turkey 15450).
15340, the other HCJB frequency, at 1235 sounds like Burmese, but axually
listed as Rawang for Myanmar, without the flutter. The only outgoing difference
from these adjacent Kununurra transmitters is that 15400 is on an antenna aimed
340 degrees, while 15340 is 307 degrees.
At 1433, 15340 still in the clear with Morocco on 15345 instead of waiting
until 1500 to move from 15341 --- but don`t count on it. HCJB language during
this quarter-hour on Mondays is Kuruk, followed M-F by Spotlight again at 1445
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** AUSTRALIA [and non]. 17800, April 18 at 0524 heard some English, some
Indonesian, RA via PALAU during this semihour only.
My previous headline that R. Australia has been ``dumbed-down`` may have been a
tad too harsh. We do have pop music, time & temp, vapid DJ chatter, but mixed
with talk segments, such as 9580 and 9590, April 18 at 1313 interview by
someone else with Deborah Davis, author of ``Disconnect`` about the dangers of
cellphones to brains and gonads. 1321 enough of that! Gotta play some rap, in
this magazine format for typical RA listeners with severely impaired attention
spans and horrible taste in `music`. Can`t have a full hour or even a semihour
of straight talk, intellexual stimulation! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** CHINA [and non]. Firedrake April 18:
7970, very poor at 1254
10300, poor at 1253
12180, poor at 1249. Nothing listed, but Sound of Hope probable target; Aoki
shows 12165, 12175, 12190 via Tajikistan at various times
13060, fair at 1247 with flutter; new one
14700, poor at 1247 with heavy flutter; no others up to 18 MHz
15670, poor at 1241 mixing with presumed Tibetan, RFA via TAJIKISTAN
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [and non]. 11775, DentroCuban Jamming Command moderate pulsing April 18
at 0533 marring Arabic music and talk from CRI via ALBANIA; Commies vs Commies!
Jamming is left over from R. Mart? which is on 11775 via Greenville, then
Sackville, only at 0000-0300.
6030, April 18 at 1300-1303+ looking for Firedrake as usual during this hour
but hear R. Mart? still going past nominal 1300* with several promos about R.
Mart? including its news, but no news on the hour. No Cuban jamming audible,
but some FE co-channel remnant (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** EQUATORIAL GUINEA. 15190, April 18 at 1435, R. Africa poor with American
low-key gospel huxter; sounds like Tony Alamo but not positive (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTIENING DIGEST)
** GREECE. 11645, Monday April 18 at 0535 talk may be in Greek, but not //
9420; or is it something Slavic? Presumably the R. Filia service relay, which
is supposedly mostly in English during this hour relaying BBCWS, but with
segments in Albanian, French, Spanish on weekends, per EiBi via Harold Sellers.
This scheduling is extremely flexible (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDIA [and non]. 15770, April 18 at 1242, WYFR normally clear in Spanish,
has some CCI, which must be AIR Telugu service until 1245, 250 kW, 132 degrees
from Aligarh site, per HFCC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KURDISTAN [non]. 11530, April 18 at 1335, V. of Mesopotamia via UKRAINE,
fair with great music, but dumped off the air between 1347.5 and 1348.4;
weakening after 1400 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** LIBYA. 17725, April 18 at 1402, V. of Africa from the Great Jamahiriyah,
poor in English, mentioning, what else? 9.9.99; and after some hilife at 1413
again 9.9.99, about the African Union. BORING. Was also audible during previous
sesquihour in Swahili; lately had been JBA during English (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** NIGERIA [non]. 17860, Hamada Radio International`s extra frequency for the
1400-1430 broadcast: as previously reported, it was heard on April 15, but not
on April 16. On April 17 it was barely audible to // 21480. On April 18 at
1401, 17860 is on again, quite echoey and different from // 21480 reception
which had fair signal, not echoey. 17860 must have come on right at 1400 as did
not hear a carrier before then. Both via RMI via MBR Wertachtal, GERMANY.
Also checked the 0530-0600 broadcast which in different schedule versions
lately has been shown on 9545, 9610, 9860 and 11970. April 18 at 0529, open
carrier on 9610, 0530 usual percussive opening, and // 9860. There is also a
JBA signal on 11970 which I think is //. Earlier at 0528, 11970 had somewhat
stronger music. Before 0529 there was Russian on 9545, i.e. DW via Woofferton,
but nothing after, as HFCC shows 9545 not used for Hamada after March 31 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 9385, April 18 at 1441, WWRB sticking with Brother
Scare instead of E-Persian Radio we were treated to on Sat-Sun. Earlier in the
hour, horrible caterwauling by a BS psychophant was heard on 17485 Germany,
9980 WWCR (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SPAIN. 21610, Monday April 18 at 1245, REE in Castilian about the Spanish
cinema, also // 21540 at the moment way over konstantly kolliding Kuwait,
providing only a SAH. Basque is supposedly scheduled at this hour, but exact
timing varies a lot and sometimes does not show at all. By 1442 it`s reversed,
Kuwaiti drama in Arabic way over 21540 Spain, providing only a subaudible
heterodyne (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SUDAN [non]. 13620, April 18 at 0525, R. Dabanga still jammed with tone on
slightly offset carrier so also producing a heavy SAH, 0526 R. Dabanga singing
ID and then spoken ID before closing at 0527, MADAGASCAR carrier off at
0527:10* while tone continues.
Other Dabanga frequency, 13730 as usual audible only with totally different
jamming, ringing and pulsing at rate of about 72 per minute. Due to skip
distance factors, quite possibly neither jammer is anywhere near Khartoum, even
outside Sudan by a co?perative, sinister ally of Omar al-Bashir (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 11500, April 18 at 1252 open carrier, with het, flutter. Aoki has
V of Russia going from English to Hindi at 1300 via Tajikistan, and also Sound
of Hope. Dushanb? lost feed? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 12190, as I was hearing Firedrake on 12180, April 18 at 1249
there is also open carrier here, fair with flutter. Only listing for 12190 is
Aoki with SOH via Tajikistan at 1500-1530 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST) ###

Now that spring has come to North America the signals from the SLBC have
become a regular visitor after 0030 utc. This is a welcome occurrence here ;
however my problem has been extracting a QSL from them. Each year I send off a
report only to wait in vain. Six or seven reports over the last few years have
all gone unanswered. I appeal to anyone who may have some inside information
that I might use to rectify this situation. Any tips would be most appreciated.

Believe it or not, an email or letter appeal to their embassy with a
copy of the report is sometimes helpful to crack the hard cases. I'm
still working a QSL from the Maldives from last year and they are one
tough nut to crack.
