UNID / (PERU?) - 6059.99, weak
LA station noted 1116 on 1/19, SS not PP anmts.? Pgm of pop ballads and
plenty of anmts by super-fast-talking OM in SS.? Needed ECSS-LSB to
optimize reception.? Blotted out at 1129 by big signal from RN Venezuela (that
is, unless earlier station actually WAS the YV bcstr, which
suddenly did a beam or power change for 1130 . . . but tend to think
not, as earlier station sounded much more like a commercial station.) ?
Would be great if this was the new Peruvian, Aroma Cafe Radio, but needs a lot
of work.? Open carrier noted here at 1055 the day before, so
station may be signing on at *1100. ? (Perry, Illinois)
ECUADOR - 4814.98, Radio El Buen Pastor, 1/2 at 1106 with HC pasillos featuring
guitars and piano, YL singers.? Usual high-voiced OM ancr with timecheck at
1108, then back into pleasant program of folklorico mx.? Fair sig with usual
blipping ute QRM.? One of the only places on the band to hear wonderful HC
folkloric music, the other being HCJB - Pichincha on 6050 kHz.? Speaking of
that, what is the source of the unid signal hetting HCJB at approx 6050.84,
many mornings?? Can never raise audio from it but certainly tantalizing.?
(Perry, Illinois)
BRAZIL - 4876.48, presumed Roraima, noted most mornings as early as 0930 and
holding on past 1015 checks.? As always, decent signal strength but very
problematic modulation.? Ballads noted early (0930 segment) and news talk show
1015 and thereabouts,? (Perry, Illinois)
HONDURAS - 3250.06, Radio Luz Y Vida with fair signal and light het on 1/17 at
1140, high pitched OM with talks re "La Biblia".? (Perry, Illinois)
BOLIVIA - 4699.33, Radio San Miguel, Riberalta, 1/18 at 1008 thru 1029, fair
signal and muffled mod with that "bottom of the barrel" sound, hi.? 1014 seemed
like a regional news segment with light echo.? Clear mtns of Bolivia, and then,
at 1016 "...las seis de la manana y 16 minutos con la musica de la madrugada en
San Miguel . . .".?? Into nondescript vocals.? Ad string at 1028 but couldn't
pick up any product names. (Perry, Illinois)
PERU - 4774.95, Radio Tarma, 1/18 noted at 1030 check with good signal but
under thick pulse hute.? YL huayno with guitar, to 1032 OM ancr.? (Perry,
Illinois)
PERU - 5038.18, Radio Libertad de Junin, came here from Tarma on 1/18 at 1035
and found fairly good signal, certainly best Andean signal on the band.?
Morning folklorico program, nice huaynos with yipping singers backed by
guitars.? At 1040 reverb taped ads followed by very nice, live ID by OM:?
"...en la ciudad de Junin, amables oyentes, ustedes escuchando a Radio Libertad
. . . esperando le gusta . . . la musica nacional . . "? Then into huayno with
YL and guitar.??? (Perry, Illinois)

** ANTARCTICA. 15476, Jan 19 at 1332, still no signal from LRA36. I missed
checking the previous Thursday. Previous years they have shown up again in
Februaries after summer vacation (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake Jan 19: 11500, JBA with flutter at 1327; no others found
9-15 MHz (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GUATEMALA. 4055, Jan 19 at 1312, some music is JBA, rather late for R.
Verdad to be heard, but no doubt that is the source; sunrise there was 1228,
sunrise here 1341 UT (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** JAPAN. 3925, Jan 19 at 1304, R. Nikkei 1, JOZ is in French lesson on this
Thursday; better signal than the Koreans on 75m (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** KOREA SOUTH. 3912, Jan 19 at 1304, YL talk in Korean; no jamming audible,
but some zero-beat SSB QRhaM; 3985, Jan 19 at 1304, OM talk in Korean, no
jamming either. 3912 is V. of the People, 3985 is Echo of Hope, both
clandestines from S to N Korea. Lacking Indonesians any more, it`s nice to hear
something on 75m besides JAPAN, q.v. (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MAURITANIA. 7245, Jan 18 at 0624, IGIM is on and chanting. (In my reports
you don`t have to hunt around in the middle or at the end for the date of
reception: I normally put it at the top right next to the time, and am baffled
why others think it should be anywhere else.) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** NEW ZEALAND. 5950, Jan 18 at 1353, poor signal from RNZI, distinctive voice
and tagline of Garrison Keillor. Suspect this is not `World in Sport` as in
RNZI`s own program grid for Wednesday 1330-1400
http://www.rnzi.com/pages/schedules.php
I`ll bet they are instead relaying RNZ National: yep, that schedule
http://www.radionz.co.nz/national/schedules/20120119
for Thursday Jan 19 at 2:05-3 am local shows ``Garrison Keillor's Radio Show
(PHP)``, i.e. 1305-1400 UT Wednesdays during DST of UT +13. It`s a one-hour
version of `Prairie Home Companion` for syndication abroad. I`m sure many other
RNZI schedule entries are also wrong, replaced by DS relays during summer
holidays --- but why didn`t RNZI put up an accurate program grid for Dec & Jan?
`Mailbox` is admittedly on vacation until resuming fortnightly from next Monday
Jan 23 at 1330v, etc. (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also VATICAN
[non]
** PAPUA NEW GUINEA. 7325-, Jan 19 at 1357 as huge CRI Japanese signal cuts
off, I detect a JBA carrier here, presumably Wantok Radio Light. It may be
tough to equal or exceed my slightly better reception of Jan 16, during this
1357-1429 UT window. BTW, someone else heard them on Jan 15, so the Aoki
schedule showing WRL closing earlier on Sundays is not correct (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1600: the forty-squared edition airs first on SW from
WTWW, Thursday Jan 19 at 2200 on 9479; then on WBCQ at 2230 on 7490; on WWRB,
UT Friday Jan 20 at 0430v on 3195. On WRMI 9955: Saturday 0900, 1600, 1830,
Sunday 0900, 1630, 1830, Monday 1230. Also on WTWW, UT Sunday 0500 on 5755.
BTW, the Radio Free Sarawak item on 15420 was thought to be via Tajikistan, but
HFCC shows Palau (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. Others have noted IBOC noise missing from WHO and KFAB the last few
days, and so do I, Jan 19 at 1340 UT. That opens up some adjacent frequencies
for better reception, 1030, 1050, 1100, 1120. But still IBOC from 1170 KFAQ,
1160 KSL, 1120 KMOX, 1080 KRLD, 850 KOA. 1200 WOAI also seemed to be IBOC-free
at the moment, where it comes and goes (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** VATICAN [non]. 9865, Jan 18 at 1153 check, VG signal in Spanish, something
about ``el reino de dios seg?n el burro`` ?? --- so this confirms the 1130-1200
Spanish from R. Vaticano is still being relayed by Sackville, CANADA, as in
latest HFCC, despite missing from WRTH 2012, and even from VR`s own schedule
http://www.radiovaticana.org/spa/sched_ame.asp
which shows it only on 21680 direct to region R = eastern S America (and
locally on MW 1260).
During slight fades could hear QRDRM noise from New Zealand on 9865-9870-9875,
which was a bigger problem when last logged in December. I notified RNZI they
were causing this QRM to analog VR in its own target area (well, almost: 227
degrees to CIRAF 8, 10 and 11). HFCC says this is in Spanish plus English, but
the English used to be tacked on at 1200-1215 --- or not, as they were playing
back the 45-minute Spanish broadcast of the night before (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

UNID / (PERU?) - 6059.99, weak LA station noted 1116 on 1/19, SS not PP anmts.
Pgm of pop ballads and plenty of anmts by super-fast-talking OM in SS. Needed
ECSS-LSB to optimize reception. Blotted out at 1129 by big signal from RN
Venezuela (that is, unless earlier station actually WAS the YV bcstr, which
suddenly did a beam or power change for 1130 . . . but tend to think not, as
earlier station sounded much more like a commercial station.) Would be great
if this was the new Peruvian, Aroma Cafe Radio, but needs a lot of work. Open
carrier noted here at 1055 the day before, so station may be signing on at
*1100. (Perry, Illinois)
Ralph, while Aroma Cafe Radio would be a hot catch, it would also be big news
if R Nacional de Venezuela relays via Cuba have resumed. The daily broadcasts
have all been missing since last summer. Just because they`re still listed in
Aoki doesn`t mean they really exist! I suggest the big signal from 1129 was
really CRI in Tagalog as listed unless you are sure it was in Spanish?
Argentina in Portuguese is also on 6060 M-F at 11-12.

UNID -? 6059.99, thanks gh for clarification.? Didn't stay on the fqy more than
a few moments, once the new signal obliterated my unid and had assumed --
perhaps incorrectly -- that it was RN Venezuela as per Aoki . . . but frankly,
had no real interest to determine.? So, for now, a stronger Unid covering up my
weaker, more interesting, Unid!? (Perry, Illinois)
