The March Log was heard on the following:
TECSUN PL-606, a lightweight! A remarkable little radio with
great reception. I use the extended antenna that came with it, a couple in
fact, and sometimes an AOR LA380 active loop. Great!

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
COLOMBIA - 5909.95, Alcaravan Radio, noted several mornings this past week.
Fair sig 3/27 at 1110 with pgm of romantic HJ ballads. Quick ID spot when man
spat out, simply, "Alcaravan...Radio... !!!" over music. (R Perry, Illinois)
SOLOMON ISLANDS - 5019.88, Honiara being noted nearly daily now, as early as
1030 in the Midwestern USA. Nice reception 3/26 from 1130 to 1205*, sig fading
up all the way. Best when Cuba 5025 in tlk. ID on the hour by OM, "You are
tuned to the Solomon Islands Broadcasting Corp . . . our programming will
resume
. . . at . . . in the morning." Then a YL sings briefly with choral backing,
and into rousing orchl NA at 1201.45. 1203 OC, and carrier cut at 1205*
Heard
several other mornings, even as early as 0945 on 4/1. This is fun DXing, one
of
my all-time favorite stations. (R Perry, Illinois)
PAPUA NEW GUINEA - 3385, presumed Radio East New Britain, Rabaul, at 1125 on
3/26. Best PNG sig in the 90 mb this day, with others only showing carriers.
1125 OM in Pidgin in pgm of nondescript orchl mx. Horrendous QRN level making
listening difficult. (R Perry, Illinois)
PERU - 4824.47, Radio La Voz de La Selva, Iquitos, 1031 t/in 3/25 to excited
OM
with ads in SS, fair sig and clear fqy. Upbeat pop songs and cumbias, musica
chicha. OM DJ yells out t/xks in deep echo reverb, over songs, like ".... Las
cinco. .... cuarenta!!!". 1050 t/o. (R Perry, Illinois)
INDONESIA - 9525.96, Voice of Indonesia, Jakarta, big signal 1420 on 3/25 thru
the noise. OM and YL in discussion. (R Perry, Illinois)

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1
** ALBANIA. 13625, R. Tirana check April 1 at 1436 in English, has fair
modulation and understandable with some concentration, but better modulation on
neighbor 13620 aimed in opposite direxion, 80 degrees from IBB KUWAIT in Urdu
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ANTARCTICA. 15476, another month starts and still no LRA36, despite repeated
reactivation expectations and excuses: not even a carrier, April 1 at 1249,
1323, 1431 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake April 1:
8400, just barely audible at 1256
10300, fair at 1255, not // any of the following except 12180
12180, fair at 1243, mixing with something, proved not to be // any of the
others heard in next few minutes, except 10300. Nothing at all in HFCC on 12180
to account for this, so guess Sound of Hope
12240, good at 1243
12980, good at 1243
13130, fair at 1246
13500, good at 1245
13920, good at 1244
13970, fair at 1327 // 13920 but 13500, 13130, 12240, 12180, 10300 are off;
13970 down to JBA at 1433
15900, good at 1321; was not there before 1300
16100, JBA at 1251; hi-freq and hi-lat paths are depressed today
I was listening to 12180 and 10300 at 1300 when they vanished, and 13500 was
also gone a few sex later. Did not recheck all the others immediately (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. A revised schedule from R. Habana Cuba is coming out, via Jos? Bueno,
effective April 4, showing new 17560 in use to Europe at 1930-2300 in French,
Portuguese, Arabic and Spanish. Then Manolo de la Rosa sent a correxion via
Bueno and Juan Franco Crespo, that at least for his show `En Contacto`, Sundays
at 2245, frequency would be 17550 instead of 17560. If RHC winds up on 17550
for the entire service, we look forward to the collision with Kuwait after
2000, q.v.!
This revived European service does not include English: the 19-20 broadcast on
11760 remains targeted at Central America (where there is only one small
English-speaking country, Belize).
Other new frequencies in the April 4+ RHC schedule, all for Spanish:
9550 11-13 to Chicago
9620 23-04 to Rio de Janeiro
9710 21-23 to Antilles
11830 11-15 to New York
12020 21-05 to Chile
13670 21-04 to Caribbean
Way to go, Arnie!
9550 will collide with WYFR until 1145
9620 collides with Spain to SAm at 23-05
Spain DRM also remains on 9630 at 00-02 via CR spreading beyond 5 kHz
11830 collides with WYFR after 1300, 315 degrees to NAm. It`s been there for
many years; hasn`t Arnie noticed?? HFCC A-11 has now been published for all to
see, even he who refuses to participate.
Meanwhile, he keeps RHC on 12040 at 11-15, which as I have been pointing out,
collides with ChiCom jamming and VOA. Also no changes in English from the March
20 schedule, i.e. still blasting HCJB 6050 at 01-07 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [and non]. 11775, lite jamming pulses under ANGUILLA, April 1 at 1253;
11775 *needs* to be jammed only in the evening, when R. Mart? has resumed using
it for A-11 at 00-03, which BTW is Greenville 00-01, Sackville 01-03 per HFCC.
7405, April 1 at 1359, R. Mart? promo with no jamming audible, nor when it cuts
to open carrier at 1400 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also USA:
WRMI
** EQUATORIAL GUINEA [and non]. 15190, April 1 at 0555, R. Africa the SSOB at
S9+12 with gospel huxter in English; less fading but more modulation that
Australia 15160; NIGERIA also audible on 15120, q.v. (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDIA. 9690, April 1 at 1329, AIR talk in unID language, rather than musical
runup to GOS, let alone the AIR IS, but 1330 switch to English sign-on with
constant hum, right into news. The only language service ending at 1330 (on
other frequencies) is Tibetan, so maybe that`s it, on the same program feed
line (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. 9526-, April 1 at 1336, VOI English with `Miscellany` talk about
stem cells, as I endure intermittent audio dropouts (IADs) clocked at 10 times
per minute, but quite irregularly spaced and seeming to have nothing to do with
momentary modulation peaks. They are even more annoying during music, following
at 1341, comedy song combining Hawaiian and C&W; 1344 Englonesian version of
Billy Joel`s ``I Love You Just the Way You Are``, plus more Indopop (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** IRAN. 9420, April 1 at 2041, Iranian music instead of Greek; despite ERA`s
decades of usage of 9420, VIRI has overtaken their frequency by surprise, as
John Babbis has been reporting since A-11 began. Wolfgang B?schel says Iran has
put its all-night Arabic service on 9420 at 1630-0530, which HFCC has as 500
kW, 289 degrees via Zahedan, instead of originally registered 9460 --- because
Turkey in Turkish is already on 9460 at 16-21.
But why QSY to 9420? Scenario: without bothering to turn on a radio, or consult
any knowledgeable DX reference, IRIB figured that like so many other ERA HFCC
registrations, 9420 was also wooden, not really in use! But it is, in fact, up
to 24 hours a day!! How will this be resolved? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** KUWAIT [and non]. 17550, since R. Kuwait in Arabic to C&W NAm was coming in
March 31 before 2400, I listen for it again April 1 at 2035, but not a trace,
nor later at 2121. 15540 English also absent before 2100. Is 17750 irregular,
or was a propagational anomaly to be credited the day before? Still nothing
audible at 2352, but 16m is almost dead except for Taiwan/WYFR 17725. See also
CUBA, planning to use 17550 to Europe! Or 17560? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** LIBYA. 17725, April 1 at 1431, VOAf from the GJ still here at quick check,
fair with African music (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NIGERIA [and non]. 15120, April 1 at 0556, VON with hilife music, 0557
ending `Moving On` show about musical instruments; S9+12, equivalent meter
reading to 15190 Equatorial Guinea, but doesn`t sound as loud, and 15120 also
has SAH, CCI, listed as CRI Chinese from Beijing site. Both this and VON last
another hour until 0700 on 15120 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PORTUGAL. 12060, April 1 at 0558 music, 0600 4-pip timesignal and Portuguese
Portuguese; RDPI now scheduled 05-07, 200 kW, 144 degrees. It`s also back on
7240 which is more reliable (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** RUSSIA [non]. 15460, fair April 1 at 1323 with R. Svoboda ID in passing.
HFCC says IBB Russian via Rampisham UK during this hour, full site schedule
being: 08-10 Tinang, Philippines; 12-13 Lampertheim, Germany; 14-16 Lampertheim
again [why switch to Ramp for one hour??]. NHK due west from Yamata in Japanese
is also listed at 12-14, likely to produce a collision in Russia, but not here
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 13810, April 1 at 1433, Brother Scare mixing with
weaker signal; scheduled as Iran in Hindi from 1430, 500 kW, 102 degrees via
Sirjan; Scare is 100 kW, 130 degrees from Nauen, GERMANY so likely to collide
even worse around the Mideast (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SPAIN. 17595, REE, April 1 at 2120 the same hypernasal YL we hear on the
1430 Portuguese news snippets, is saying ``ciao`` to her Brazilian listeners,
and then playing Arab music (or should I say Moorish?). This service is M-F
21-22 on 17595 only (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also CUBA
** TURKEY. 15450, monitored V. of Turkey again April 1 on reactivated A-season
frequency for 1230 English: fair at 1249 and at 1321 when in sign-off,
announceress still imagines this broadcast is an hour later on 25m; only 2.5
iterations of the IS before cut carrier, but still identical rather than
variations, and listening more closely, I don`t think it`s on a real piano any
more but some `authentic instrument` keyboard. Boring (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST) See also IRAN
** U K [non]. 17685, April 1 at 0000, BBCWS `World Briefing`, poor with flutter
as relay via THAILAND is starting; also scheduled now a further hour via
SINGAPORE until 0200.
15470, April 1 at 1430, S. Asian language with BBC ID in passing; scheduled as
14-15 Hindi, 250 kW, 97 degrees from CYPRUS (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. 15470, where R. Sawa had a good signal on March 30 and 31
until 1330* sign-off as VOA, gone again April 1, not even a carrier detectable
at 1249, 1302 or 1323. I now know that this was via Greenville; no wonder, a
good signal, but in use only two days.
Another R. Sawa schedule, probably outdated quickly if not already, as IBB
apparently struggles to get this emergency SW service going:
0800-1000 11725 Lampertheim
0800-1100 17880 Kuwait
0800-1330 15775 Lampertheim
1000-1200 11680 Lampertheim
1100-1330 17840 Kuwait
1200-1330 11890 Lampertheim and 13625 S?o Tom?.
BTW, Lampertheim does not really have a suitable antenna for Libya or the Arab
world (Glenn Hauser, OK, April 1, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1557 monitoring: confirmed on WWRB, excellent signal
on 2390, UT Friday April 1 at 0330, checked at 0358 before ending and this week
also // weaker 5050, unlike last week. So it may or may not be on both.
Presumably, further than a megameter from Manchester, 5050 achieves a better
signal.
On WRMI 9955 the first airing of #1557 this week could not be until Friday
1430, confirmed at 1438 with fair signal, no jamming. Next chances are Sat
0800, 1400, 1730; Sun 0800, 1530, 1730.
On WWCR, confirmed Friday April 1 at 2030 back on summer frequency 15825, which
without any sporadic E enhancement is very poor here, but we hope now gets
better into Eurafrica and even western North America beyond the skipzone. Next
airings are Saturday 1600 on 12160, Sunday 0630 on 3215.
On IPAR/NEXUS/IBA/IRRS, new WORLD OF RADIO time and frequency should be
Saturday 1800 on 7290, presumably still via SLOVAKIA. HFCC A-11 shows nothing
on 7295 during this hour, but 7285 with VOR, 250 kW, 280 degrees from Samara,
so how is reception now in Europe on 7290? Official targets of IRRS are CIRAF
zones 18-20, 27-30, 37-39, i.e. all of Europe including western Russia, the
north African tier, and ME from Turkey thru Arabia (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9479, WTWW, April 1 at 1355 tuneby, Pastor Pete Peters music and talk
modulation cutting off and on a few times per second, totally unlistenable, and
the bits of mod heard were also distorted. Had recovered by next check 1442,
not cutting out but still rough-sounding (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WINB missing from both known frequencies, 13570 and 9265, April 1 at
1435; no fooling. So now 13570 no longer QRMs CODAR. 9265 is on at next check
2240 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 9947.5, strong AM carrier with continuous DSB tone of less than 1
kHz, April 1 at 1438 centered here, also making het against weak 9950 carrier;
plus noticed about an hour earlier. Fortunately this is far enough away not to
bother 9955 WRMI; nor is it related to the previous WWV spur, but what is it?
