** AUSTRALIA [and non]. VL8 check March 20: at 1256, 2310 was best with M&M
conversation in English audible, // weaker 2325 but no signal at all detectable
on 2485 --- either off or more likely stuck on the daytime frequency 5025 as
occasionally happens. So I check 5025 at 1308, as always dominated by R.
Rebelde, but it is fading regularly at the rate of 40 times per minute,
abnormal, and likely indicator of another weaker signal slightly off-frequency
causing such a subaudible heterodyne, i.e. 0.67 Hz away. This was still the
case at 1339, as Cuba weakens gradually, but so does Australia as we are well
over an hour past sunrise here which was at 1235 UT. Never could pull any VL8
audio, however, under Cuba 5025. Has anyone else noticed the two are 0.67 Hz
apart when they normally overlap until 0830 or after 2130? Perhaps someone
further west will have had better copy of VL8K on 5025 this date past 1400
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GERMANY [non]. 15610, DW in German, quite good tho with polar flutter, March
20 at 1349; kept going into English as they were interviewing someone to
voice-over. What does PWBR `2009` say? Via SRI LANKA. In this case it is still
correct! HFCC confirms Trinco as 1200-1358, 250 kW at 355 degrees, i.e. aimed
right at North America beyond the central Asian targets (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** GREECE. As suspected, when we found V. of Greece back to `normal` the day
before with all three Avlis transmitters funxional again at 2200, the temporary
curtailment of the 15650 transmission until 1352* is over. March 20 it
continued at 1354, still with music at 1400, and at 1433. By 1502 I had local
noise sources going, but there were still two carriers on frequency making a
fast SAH, i.e., resuming collision with Miraya FM via IRRS via Slovakia to
Darfur (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TURKEY [non]. Another day of no English on 7325 via Canada, at 0430 check
March 20, instead Turkish talk (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. Another check of VOA Spanish the morning of March 20: at 1258, 9885
// 13715 // 15590 closing Buenos D?as, Am?rica show and plugging next broadcast
at noon local, 16 UT, sports, which of course is irrelevant to SW listeners.
Shortly after 1259 the two lower frequencies went off, while 15590 converted to
English, opening VOA Music Mix with newscast. Without embargo, when rechecked
at 1350, 15590 was now in Spanish, plugging http://voanoticias.com and
announcer giving his own e-mail address at VOA. Also mentioned ``De Capital a
Capital`` perhaps the name of the program just ending, and some more rock music
in Spanish.
If you go to the website above for more info on the Capital program, first you
see linx to audio of it as a musical program on Saturdays and Sundays. But on
the webcast schedule it is shown with two different editions on Fridays, at
1430 and 1730 UT! And furthermore, the axual audio linx on the previous page
claiming Sat and Sun have 1439aFri and 1730aFri in them. So that was probably
the first edition on Friday, which has really daylight-shifted to 1330 UT, even
tho a 4-hour conversion to ET is shown on the same list! The title bar of this
page http://www.voanews.com/spanish/webcasts.cfm also misspells
``transmiciones``. How can listeners take VOA Spanish seriously with all these
mistakes? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 4840-4880, weak OTH radar pulses, presumed at 1252 March 20. Also
at 1254 on 3860-3870 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 4900 and 4920, and perhaps some frequencies in between with
uncopyable brief SSB transmissions, March 20 at 1341. I could never get them
tuned in to demodulate, and suspect they employ speech inversion, i.e.
reversing the proper audio frequencies as in normal SSB, a lite form of
security, but certainly effective for listeners who do not have the equipment
to re-reverse them. I could not even be sure of the language. I hope the
narco-traffickers and poachers are not getting this sophisticated (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

What does ND mean? Did you really measure the frequency to one decimal place?
One should always measure VOT frequencies in this area, because they vary to
avoid jamming, not always in 5-kHz steps, either.
WRTH 2009, page 491: besides transmissions via Taiwan and Madagascar, Dushanbe
site for this is shown on 17560 at 1030-1415 alternating Tibetan and Mandarin:
1030 TB, 1115 MD, 1145 TB, 1215 MD, 1345 TB.
And there was no update in February.
HFCC has Dushanbe registered on 17550 at 1430-1530, 17555 at 1100-1400, 17560
at 1100-1600, and 17565 at 1030-1200, all 100 kW, 131 degrees to CIRAF 41,
which strangely enough is Pakistan, India and Bangladesh, pretending it`s for
the Tibetans there and not in Tibet itself. Only one of these would likely be
used at any one time, but this covers the bases for jumping around or varying.
They are not specified as V. of Tibet, however, just something managed by the
CIS agency TRW. On 17550, however at 1400-1427 only is Voice of Tibet overtly
via Madagascar at 45 degrees.
Aoki shows VOT via Madagascar on 17550 at 1400-1430 and since January 1, also
1530-1600, both jammed.
And via Dushanbe-Yangiyul, Tajikistan: only on 17560, only at 1045-1130 in
Tibetan, 1130-1145 Chinese, jammed. Nothing on 17565 or higher
Eibi also lists V. of Tibet, only via Madagascar relays on 17550 at 1400-1430
and 1530-1600.
The log on 17565 until 1330* would have been in the middle of a segment in
Chinese when it is not supposed to close down. Nothing else is listed there,
but there is always the possibility it was really Chinese jamming, Firedrake
