INDONESIA: 4750, pres. RRI Makassar (as long reported/listed here).
Definitely
an Indo here 3/6 at 1115-1202 t/out. Slow orchl EZL mx and II ballads / love
songs, YL dj with occasional II anmts. 1131 sounded like nx headline summary,
OM and YL alternating brief items. 1136, back into program of 'lagu populer'.
At 1159, the old familiar Rayuan Pulau Kelapa theme, an RRI ID on the hr and
then, after a pause, the Jakarta newsfeed. Fadey sig, fair but peaking to
good,
with high noise underlying noise level. (R Perry, Illinois)
PERU: 5039.17, Radio Libertad de Junin, heard several mornings this week.
Noted 3/7 with fair signal at 1009 with huaynos, echo chamber SS anmts by OM.
1016 anmt: ...Informa . . . hermanitos y hermanitas . . . las cinco de la
manana
. . . Radio Libertad de Junin . . . " Signal building but xmsn suddenly cut at
1030 after OM in echo chamber -- think was xmtr problem. Noted again 3/8 with
nice sig at 1046 t/in, OM dj for folklorica pgm, frantic t/cks and anmts over
OA
mx rifts. Tuned out 1053 during conjunto w/huayno on guitar. (R Perry,
Illinois)
BOLIVIA: 4699.96, Radio San Miguel, Riberalta, appeared to be cranking up
modulation at 1032, from carrier and into programming -- may have just signed
on, with OM SS anmts 1034, then into taped echo chamber ad string at 1035. CP
mxa folklorica from 1036. Nice signal on 3/8, when a notably good opening to
the Andes, a day after the big solar flare. Same time, big signal from R
Tarma,
Peru, on 4775. (R Perry, Illinois)
PERU: 4746.96, Radio Huanta 2000, daily visitor lately in the mornings, with
fine OA folkloric programming. Noted from 1042 check on 3/7, with ID at 1051:
"Amables oyentes, les indicamos . . . al servicio de Huanta . . . Radio Huanta
2000 . . . ". Next morning, 3/8, good signal 1015 and booming by 1040.
Again,
this was the day after the solar flare and hours before the polar / auroral
effects were predicted to start. (R Perry, Illinois)
BRAZIL: 4885.03, Radio Clube do Para, biggest signal on the band at 1008 3/8
with ballads. OM yelled ID between songs simply, "Radio Clube do PARA!". (R
Perry, Illinois)
BRAZIL: 4865.03, tent. Radio Alvorada, Londrina, the Brazilian here with nice
signal at 1023, playing insipid ballads and schlocky pop (e.g. "I Never
Promised
You a Rose Garden", in PP). Couldn't force myself to stay with this fare, too
painful to listen and other stations beckoned. Peaking to huge sig at 1045
recheck and, by 1055 recheck, starting to fade down. (R Perry, Illinois)
BRAZIL: 4804.98, unid Brazilian, likely Rdif. do Amazonas, Manaus, nx pgm in
PP at 1015 check. Taped remote reports. Fair sig, only QRM that bleepin'
ute. (R Perry, Illinois)

Of course you have to read 5045 and not 5040 this tip:

** ANGUILLA [non]. Caribbean Beacon, which was off 11775 fifteen hours earlier,
is still missing from 6090, March 8 at 0636 leaving a het, probably
off-frequency Brazil vs Nigeria, and/or Habana leapfrog mixing product of 6010
over 6050, as I could also make out some // English on 6090 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ANTARCTICA. 15476, rack up another day with no sign of LRA36, March 8 at
1334, 1431, 1457 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** AUSTRALIA. 15340, March 8 at 1333, South Asian music way over het from 15341
Morocco, then mentioning Australia, kHz. Aoki and WRTH 2011 show both Hindi and
Rawang simultaneously during this semihour daily from HCJB; I guess they mix
them together; why? Rawang is a place in Malaysia, but presumably coincidental:
no connexion with the Rawang language spoken in northern Myanmar, where it`s
unlikely to have much linguistic relation to Hindi.
Meanwhile 15400, HCJB in Chinese was in the clear. At 1458 recheck, the 15340
situation was quite reversed, with Arabic from Morocco 15341, still not QSYed
to 15345, dominating the het from HCJB, and also with splatter from the
DentroCuban Jamming Command on 15330 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CANADA. 9625, March 8 at 0627, S9+21 open carrier, no tonetest now, from
CBCNQ, burning up 100 kW again after sign-off, why? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake March 8:
8400, JBA until 1300*. None others encountered during following bihour altho
did not perform a complete bandscan searching for it (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST) See also U K [non] 9410
** GERMANY [non]. 17860, March 8 at 1447, DW in Urdu, VG signal at S9+12, even
tho this 1430-1500 is 500 kW, 76 degrees via Rampisham UK (following an hour of
Pashto and Dari, same). How much better would the signal be in S Asia if they
were not sending so much of it back this way? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** GUAM. 5765-USB, March 8 at 1303, AFN with basketball scores. What are these
doing during a top-of-hour serious news block? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** GUINEA. 7125, RTG intruding again on 40m hamband, March 8 at 0625 in hilife
music, and there`s SSB QRhaM in Spanish exactly on frequency, but Guinea is
atop (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. 4750, woman in Indonesian, March 8 at 1305, RRI Makassar, with a
second slightly offset carrier detectable on BFO.
3995, March 8 at 1307 mentioning ``Republik Indonesia``, so it`s RRI Kendari,
better signal than 4750.
3325, March 8 at 1318, a weak signal still audible here, presumed usual RRI
Palangkaraya, and 4750 Makassar too (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See
also UNIDENTIFIED 3974
** INDONESIA. 9526-, VOI on the air this Tuesday, allowing us to hear another
`Exotic Indonesia` co-produxion with RRI Banjarmasin. Unfortunately the IADs
are still happening several times per minute, sometimes ~5 seconds long, but I
keep with it as much as I can tolerate; also continuous hum but VG signal
level.
March 8 at 1322, W&M plugging Banj frequency 95.2 FM, then introducing feature
about the new president of Philippines, Benigno Aquino III, about to visit
Indonesia, and talx already going on at the international relations staff
level: `Focus` show about this still going on at 1337; 1339 discussing
International Women`s Day; I believe the W co-host in Banj said she had spent
14 years in the US. 1341 playing pre-produced Banj feature with the mystery man
and a woman narrating, about the custom of cradling babies in conjunxion with
Mohammed`s birthday in February; with some rustic music pauses. 1352 the live
hosts discuss this further, but I never did get the point of it; 1355 playing a
romantic song from Banj to mark IWD (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KOREA NORTH [non]. 5985, Shiokaze via JAPAN, Tuesday March 8 at 1403, in
Japanese, weak with Myanmar het (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** LIBYA. It seems like V. of Africa from the Great Jamahiriyah is going out
with a whimper, not a bang. March 8 at 1408 still no signal on former 21695
(nor 21660 used once), but 17725 is on as a carrier, with only a trace of
modulation detectable, if that, (once I located and unplugged the cable DTV
converter box which puts out the bubble-jamming on this frequency --- and later
I have to rescan it thrice to get all the channels back, grrr). At 1450 the
17725 carrier is registering S9+10 at peaks, nothing but maybe a trace to be
heard on it; same at 1525 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 6185, XEPPM, which normally has good modulation quality altho not to
the 100% level, March 8 at 0641 is very distorted, only with peaks audible
during S9+20 signal, a shame! Hope they get it repaired ASAP for their
excellent eclectic music at this time, and QRM-free (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** NETHERLANDS [non]. 9830, RNW in Dutch, March 8 at 0630 a bit stronger than
// 9895 altho 9895 is a few words behind, during lengthy weather info for
Europe, including Spain, Ireland. Too bad English-speakers are not served by
this.
If it`s RN, it can`t be from Holland. Aoki shows 9830 is 500 kW, 120 degrees
from Wertachtal, and 9895 is 250 kW, 280 degrees from Kishinev-Grigoriopol,
i.e. Moldova, i.e. Pridnestrovye --- during this bihour, 06-08, but elsewhen
its`s via Vatican, Moldova, Nauen or Wertachtal (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** SPAIN [and non]. Another check for Basque from REE, nominally at 1330 M-F:
March 8 at 1331, 15170 via COSTA RICA is still in Castilian, info deportiva
acerca de Barcelona v. los ingleses. By the time I reached // 17595 direct, at
1335, Basque was underway (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U K [non]. BBC`s Spanish service on SW was terminated Feb 25; was M-F
1200-1215 via WHRI 9410, Guiana French 11860. The Caribbean English service got
a month`s reprieve but it was not on SW; instead the rest of the 12-13 UT hour
was filled by regular BBCWS English, but now that`s gone too, confirming our
cynical opinion that it was never considered by BBC as anything but filler.
Checked March 8 at 1248, not on 9410, leaving something very weak in Chinese.
During this hour, Aoki shows Fu Hsing, Taiwan vs CNR5, Beijing.
21630, March 8 at 1429-1430* just as I tune in I hear the DW riff, and cut off
the air during one unID word to follow. 1400-1430 is listed as *BBC* in Hausa
via Sines, PORTUGAL. Perhaps a switching error before closedown, rather than
the entire broadcast? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9405, WINB, March 8 at 0625, S9+22 while 24 hours earlier it was
inaudible --- only attributable to wildly fluxuating propagation, or is station
transmission a factor? Rod Hembree with another of his Star-Trek-ripoff promos
for Radio 2:11, then intro or promo John Ankerberg. Modulation now is awful,
carrier more unstable than usual, and splashing out to 9390, 9410+ bothering
BBCWS (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9680, WYFR in English, March 8 at 0628 is back in force, altho
missing 24 hours earlier (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [non]. March 8 I monitor the transition of the still unidentified
relays of YFR on 15185, 15485: 15485 carrier is on from *1500 before 15185 goes
off, and the latter carrier stays on much of a minute more. So they are not
from the same transmitter, presumably not same antenna either, tho the signals
are quite similar and Harold Camping programming continues, still likely to be
same site (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** VIETNAM. 12019.4, V. of Vietnam, March 8 at 1326 carrier on until 1327:40*
and back on at *1329 during scheduled beam switch from 177 to 57 degrees, as
languages switch from Indonesian to English; 1330 a bit of music presumably
opening English, but too weak today. No noticeable change in signal level
despite turning to USward.
My previous log did not measure the off-frequency below 12020, but Harold
Frodge puts it on 12019.4, and it is certainly closer than necessary to the
RTTY around 12015; there is another weak broadcaster on 12025, so can`t vary
much in the upward direxion (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 3974 approx., March 8 at 1307, some music mixed with heavy
motorboating noise, apparent malfunxioning transmitter rather than jamming; de
3976 RRI Pontianak?? Stronger than and separate from the usual North Korean
jamming on 3985. But this could also emanate from NK, Wonsan listed 3970. 1310
announcement on 3974 but could not copy anything of it; 1317 again some music
audible. Atsunori Ishida, http://rri.jpn.org/ says Pontianak has been inactive
since last April. Maybe this is the start of a comeback? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST) ###
