BOUGAINVILLE. 3325, NBC Bougainville, 1119-1203*, on Aug 6. Pop songs
(Steve Winwood - "Higher Love," etc.); in Pidgin; suddenly off; no VOI QRM.
CONGO. 6115, Radio Congo, start up time (already in progress) at *0540, Aug 6.
Strong QRN (static); no QRM from Japan today; very respectable summertime
reception. My audio at http://bit.ly/33dTv2q . But on Aug 5, Congo was not
broadcasting (checked 0530-0600); even with considerable daylight in Japan

LAOS. 6130, Lao National Radio, 1401, Aug 6. No longer on their recently heard abbreviated

time was unusable; at 1434, unable to confirm in French, but definitely broadcasting.
PAPUA NEW GUINEA. 3260, NBC Madang, 1204-1211* on Aug 6; in English; cut off in mid-

TAIWAN. 6230, Sound of Hope, at 1300, on Aug 6 and listening in LSB to get away from Australia
weather station in USB. The usual OM & YL with "Xiwang zhi sheng guoji guangbo diantai" (Sound
of Hope international broadcast station) ID (thanks again to Amano-san's assistance); surprised to
have some very light QRM from Australia, as some of their faint audio showed up in LSB.
VIETNAM. 8812-USB, Ho Chi Minh Radio - Vietnam Coast Station, on Aug 6, *1240-1242* in

schedule for this podcast.
MYANMAR. 5985, Myanmar Radio, 1300-1310, Aug 7 (Wednesday). Two programs

was re-scheduled to different times. Checking Aug 27 & 28, heard a rather different program 1240+;
programming was unique in that it consisted of an audio of non-stop English, but was rather weak,
underneath a much stronger audio in Korean, with a running translation of the underlying English.
Perhaps a lecture? First time I have heard this, after almost daily monitoring. At 1300, the usual

Hi Amano,
Have you heard what is happening on 4885 kHz.? Seems to be some major changes.
Sept 3, from 1113 to 1335; no longer with the former distinctive "V O H" SAs; no
longer hearing the "Easy English" language lesson. 9100 noted off the air today,
otherwise // 3985 // 5995 // 6250 (much of the time also hearing Echo of Unification)
and // 6350; poor overall conditions today; most days I have much better reception.
Some highlights of today's reception:
1130-1200: Now with a unique language lesson that seems like more than 95% in
Korean and maybe less than 5% in English (nothing like "Easy English" format);
occasional brief spots in English during the half hour program, with all the English
put together again towards the end of the show. Have heard this for several days now.
1200-1210: Drama
1219: song - ABBA - "The Winner Takes It All"; all the other songs were in Korean.
1241-1250: Unique program with audio in English (weak), with stronger audio on top of
that in Korean, with running translation of the English underneath. Ends with audience
clapping, so perhaps a lecture or same type of presentation? Have heard this now for
several days.
1300-1313: Usual news program in Korean.
Amano - Can you hear what the new SA is? Thank you so very much!

Sept 11 - A second day with a greatly extended NBC Bougainville broadcast on 3325 kHz., so perhaps
a new schedule? Unlike yesterday's reception free from Voice of Indonesia QRM, today with significant
VOI audio, making a mess of this frequency; both stations mostly unusable; checking 1217-1302 UTC;
again with "NBC News Roundup" at 1302.
This change is not totally unexpected. It will be recalled that this November will see the important
referendum vote to be taken to determine the possible independence of Bougainville. We can expect
this station to be a key means of disseminating information about the election. SW is especially alive
at election time!

AUSTRALIA. 5055, Radio 4KZ, randomly from 1052 to 1246:25*, Sept 25. Respectable
reception for such a low powered station; variety of pop songs (a Burt Bacharach song,
"This Guy's in Love with You," The Temptations - "My Girl," Irene Cara - "Flashdance
What A Feeling," Creedence Clearwater Revival - "Down On The Corner," etc.); 1100,
news, weather and sea conditions (bits and pieces readable); commercial announcements;
heavy QRN (static). My audio of Bacharach song, weather and faint SA, at http://bit.ly/2lu5RCB ?
? ? ? ? ??
BOUGAINVILLE. 3325, NBC Bougainville (Maus Blong Sankamap - Voice of the Sunrise),
1015-1050, Sept 25. Almost all the programs dealing with the upcoming referendum; back
on the air after being briefly silent for a few days.
MYANMAR. RE: WOR 2001 - Myanmar Radio - Glenn wondered if 5985 & 9730, where via
the same transmitter? Once I had assumed they were, as their sign off and sign on times
seemed to indicate that, but not so. A good number of times now I have noted them BOTH
on the air at the same time (overlapping), so definitely two separate transmitters.? ??
PAPUA NEW GUINEA. 3260, NBC Madang (Maus Blong Garamut), 1211*, Sept 25; usual
format.
7325, Wantok Radio Light (presumed), 1257-1258, Sept 27. Thanks to Hiroyuki Komatsubara
(Japan) for his alert; during CRI's brief break, heard a definite weak carrier here, but unable to
make out any audio. Assume low power?
SOLOMON ISLANDS. 9545, SIBC, 0449 till cut off at 0459*, Sept 26. Finally strong enough to
be able to ID one of their songs, with distinctive "Shallow," by Lady Gaga & Bradley Cooper; cut
off time is via timer (always the same time) (Ron Howard, Asilomar State Beach, CA)
U S A. 7570, WRMI, 1258, Sept 25. Good signal; Supreme Master TV audio; about the relief
efforts for the Bangladesh fire ("may Allah bless you"); reception killed by *1300, of very strong
VOA (Thailand).?
VIETNAM. 7155.0, VOV, on Sept 27, heard an interesting situation here at 1304. Clearly TWO
stations mixing together; one stronger signal in Chinese (// 7220) and a much weaker underneath
(// 7285); first time I have heard them both together. Thanks very much to Glenn, who last year
pointed out: "7285 at 1300-1330 in French, 7220 at same time in Chinese: 7285 leapfrog over
7220 another 65 kHz below lands on 7155."
UNIDENTIFIED. 4990-USB, 0410, Sept 26. American fishermen chatting; sounded like conversation
between fishing boats; first time I have ever heard anything like this here. Probably just off the coast
of Calif., as Monterey Bay and other coastal areas have fishing fleets.

Re: N. Korea jamming of Shiokaze
Ron Howard -
Oct 02 (Wed), 2019 14:50 UTC No.4123
KOREA NORTH. Oct 2, with the jamming of Shiokaze:
5980, fast, pulsating noise jamming long before Shiokaze started at *1300.
6070, jamming anomaly; from *1300 to 1306*, with the programming of KCBS Pyongyang
(// 3320 // 6400); then leaving Shiokaze in the clear for about a minute; *1307, start of a slower,
pulsating noise jamming (seemed slower rate than 5980).
My audio, with one minute of faster jamming (5980) and one of the slower jamming (6070),
at http://bit.ly/2pi1hZv .
BTW - Myanmar Radio (5985), on Oct 2 (Wednesday), had mostly unusable reception (1246-1256)
of the usually well heard "Learning English with BBC, Burmese." This due to strong jamming of pre-
Shiokaze on 5980 and also the fairly strong adjacent QRM from the new frequency for Echo of Hope -
VOH on 5990.

Due to this rather rare double silence, went online to find out what was happening.?Found the following probable explanation for their absence:
"PNG Power will be conducting major load shedding and disconnection exercises?throughout the country this week."

Just back from a cruise from San Francisco, up to Oregon/Washington/Canada. Now back at the dials again!
CHINA. 6125, CNR1, from 1156+, on Oct 27. Non-stop live coverage of the closing ceremony
of the 7th Military World Games (not war games, but sports games, hi!), held in Wuhan (Hubei
Province); mostly in Chinese, but with some English and French; Col. Dorah Mamby Koita,
Secretary General of the International Military Sports Council, presented the Fair Play Award to
Col. Bertrand Gebuhrer, chief of the French delegation. Youtube, with English coverage, at
http://bit.ly/2MQw4WD .
CHINA/TIBET. 6200, Xizang PBS via Lhasa, at 1224, on Oct 27. Heard Tibet in the clear; then
the usual double sign on of Voice of Jinling at *1231* and back at *1232; VOJ much stronger
reception than Tibet.
KOREA NORTH[non]. 6085, Shiokaze/Sea Breeze, at 1310, Oct 27. Change of frequency and in
the clear with no jamming; was unable to locate //, but thanks to Hiroshi, who did find it, as well as
other times and frequencies today:
1300-1400 ? 6085 // 7310
1405-1435 ? 7260 // 7325
1600-1700 ? 6095 // 7325 ?
KOREA SOUTH. Voice of the People, from 1107+, on Oct 27; 3910 (jammed) // 3480 (fair - no jamming)
// 3925 (jammed) // 4450 (jammed) // 6515 (jammed) // 6600 (jammed).
Echo of Hope - VOH, from 1104+, on Oct 27; 3985 (jammed) // 4880 (fair - no jamming) // 5995 (jammed)
// 6245 (jammed) // 6350 (jammed) // 9095 (fair - no jamming).
6045, Voice of Freedom, from 1140+, on Oct 27. After being on ex 5920 for a long time, they finally moved
back to a former frequency; the good news is that National Unity Radio has moved off this frequency (now
7590?), but the bad news is that today at *1144, the N. Korea jamming that would have been against NUR
started up, so will take N. Korea awhile to move to the new NUR frequency, but unfortunately the 5920
jamming will eventually move up to 6045. NUR sudden change probably due to the VOF shift in frequency.
7295, Furusato no Kaze ("Wind of Hometown"), 1331, Oct 27. Again on this former frequency; in Japanese.

BHUTAN. 6035, BBS, on Oct 30, with pop music segment (1014-1020); then announcers
and interviews in English (unreadable) till cut off at 1048*; still with earlier than normal
closing down time.
BOUGAINVILLE. 3325, NBC Bougainville, on Oct 30, with impassioned political speeches
("... we people of Bougainville ...") from 1120 to 1140; then 1140-1201, with pop music; 1201-
1206, news in English (unreadable); after cut off at 1207*, only the carrier from Voice of
Indonesia, via Palangkaraya, was heard with no audio at all today, even when checked later.
KOREA NORTH. Seems they have reevaluated and updated their jamming situation via SW.
They are now actively responding to some of the Echo of Hope - VOH and Voice of the People
frequency changes that have been observed recently since Oct 1.
For me, the biggest find today (Oct 30) was that after years of non-stop daily N. Korea jamming
on 6135, found that frequency today was completely free of the usual jamming noise. Hope it is
not a one day only anomaly! Many years ago Voice of Freedom was on frequency, but 6135 has
not had a station to be jammed for a long time.
Today noted CRI on 6135, in English, from 1404 to past 1500 (scheduled 1400-1557). Had hoped
to check for R. Madagasikara on this frequency, but block by China when reception might have
been possible. Also the absence of 6135 noise jamming is of some help for reception of Lao
National Radio (6130), which was heard today about 1345. BTW - KBS, on 6015, was jammed
as usual with noise, so 6135 seemed to be an independent absence.??
?
KOREA SOUTH. Echo of Hope - VOH, 1211, Oct 30. S. Korean musical group, Girls Generation
(SNSD) with "Into The New World"; 3980 (jammed & ham QRM) // 4885 (good - not jammed)
// 5990 (jammed) // 6250 (jammed) // 6347 (jammed) // 9100 (good - not jammed). ?
6045, Voice of Freedom, 1000, Oct 30. News program "Bodo gwangjang" ("News plaza"); no
jamming or QRM; my audio at http://bit.ly/332JWmz?.??
MYANMAR. 5985, Myanmar Radio, 1249-1259, Oct 30 (Wednesday). The usual two consecutive
5 minute shows of "Learning English with BBC, Burmese"; first show about names ("His name is ...,
Her name is ..., My name is ..."); second show with "I come from England"; not very readable; the
two shows will be repeated on Friday.

Nov 1 - Yes, extremely strong jamming noted from 1015+, on 6045; totally blocking VOF;
while ex 5920 is now a clear frequency. So yesterday (Oct 31) was the last day that VOF
was in the clear with a good signal. Yesterday from 1507+, with very enjoyable music
program. My audio (one minute of announcer and then music) at http://bit.ly/2qaavHQ .
Also Nov 1:
3945, Echo of Unification (presumed), 1254-1319, in Korean with announcer and music;
in the clear during this time period, but weak. Schedule is 1200-1400, but Japan ("RN2,
Radio Nikkei"), the last time I recently checked, had a sign off at 1231*, which should
overpower EOU for a half hour. ?
7295, Furusato no Kaze ("Wind of Hometown"), 1330, into Japanese; very nice signal. My

them reactivated; 1148-1233, with EZL pop songs (no news at ToH); 1233-1259, reciting from the
Qur'an; 1300-1310, news in vernacular; tentative SAs for "Sarawak FM" and "R T M"; reception
varied from very poor to almost fair, depending on the amount of adjacent QRM. My audio of four

CHINA. 6060, PBS-2 Sichuan, at 1200, Nov 15. Clear multi-language IDs - "Sichu?n?minzu gu?ngbo,?Sichuan Ethnic Radio"; almost fair, playing indigenous songs; heard?daily with very respectable signal.
KOREA NORTH. 6250, Echo of Unification, 1329, Nov 15. Fair reception, in the clear?due to fact that?Echo of Hope - VOH was up on 6255, along with N. Korean jamming of?VOH; that changed when VOH?moved down to 6250, to mix with EOU; jamming did not?move off 6255 to follow VOH, although later the?jamming was completely gone (not on?6250 nor 6255). A strange day!?? ??
?
KOREA SOUTH. Echo of Hope - VOH, random checking 1126 to 1335, Nov 15. Difficult?to keep up with the?fast moving changes today.
Summary of some of the items noted: 9105, completely off the air today; 4890, several times?noted off-on-off-on?again; VOH was jumping back and forth from 6250 (mixing with Echo of?Unification) to 6255. Even the N. Korean?jamming had anomalies: 1334, the jamming had?gone off on 6000 (still QRM from another station), 6255 and 6355 (now very good reception?without the jamming), whereas earlier all three frequencies where jammed.
So South Korea is actively trying to out run the jamming with these quick changes and N. Korea?jamming is?often not far behind. Seems no set frequency schedule any more?

MYANMAR. 6165, Thazin Radio (presumed), 1430-1500, Nov 16-17-18. Heard underneath a
much stronger CNR6; definitely in English; pop songs; at 1436, seemed to be the news; certainly
not a one-day-only event.
I last reported hearing them on this frequency back in 2017. Since then, have randomly checked
for any trace, even a hint, of Thazin, but with no success at all. So, for several years now have
only heard CNR6 from 1430 to 1500 and nothing else noted. With the stronger CNR6 here, will be
a real challenge to dig out any meaningful details. Can only hope for a day with outstanding
propagation favoring Myanmar. My local sunrise was at 1448 UTC. My audio, with stronger CNR6
announcer and weaker Thazin music, at http://bit.ly/2O0digm . Even with poor reception, am very
pleased to be hearing them again on this frequency!

SARAWAK[non]. 11890, Radio Nyawa Sarawak (site?), 1131, Dec 2 (Monday). Had recently
been checking this new Mon-Wed-Fri broadcast without any success; only had a very weak
carrier and never any hint of audio, that is until today; above threshold level audio; poor reception,
with CODAR QRM; 1131-1147, phone interview in vernacular; 1147 till suddenly cut off at 1158*,
with indigenous chanting (no music); no sign off announcement. Later was able to confirm positive
SA via audio streaming at their website (https://www.radionyawasarawak.org/shows/02-12-2019),
by also hearing the unique chanting there.
One of the presenters today was Peter John Jaban. It will be recalled that he was a co-founder of
Radio Free Sarawak (RFS), as well as a DJ/presenter on RFS. He is a human rights activist. Also
recall this: "Radio Free Sarawak specialized in allowing native communities to speak out about their
problems including deforestation, land grabs and the frenzy of dam building now hitting their regions,"
which sounds very much like the purpose of the new station. So is Radio Nyawa Sarawak the successor
of RFS? Seems to me it is.
It will also be recalled that when RFS was on the air, they often had heavy jamming to block their critical
assessment about things happening in Sarawak. Perhaps it is only a matter of time before Radio Nyawa
Sarawak will also be heavily jammed? ? ?
My poor quality audio of today's chanting and cut off, at http://bit.ly/2Y90c3w .

INDIA. 9450, AIR Tibetan service via Bengaluru, 1212+, Dec 9, ex: 9425. Thanks very

went off the air; *1218, came back again, only to cut off at 1220*; same problem going
on when last checked at 1239; good signal strength.

helpful.

Wonderful to have Vanuatu back on the air. Thanks for the great audio!!!
Vanuatu really likes playing "You Are the Only One," as noted in my 2015 log:
"VANUATU. 3945, R. Vanuatu, 1404-1434, Sept 25, 2015. Surprising well heard; usual long musical
loop; non-stop music and never any announcements; heard after the weekday sign off of "RN2"
(Japan); my local sunrise at 1358 UT.
It will be recalled that the song "You Are the Only One" is by far the most frequently played song here.
Sung by the group "Black Brothers," who in 1979 came to Vanuatu, to live in self-imposed exile, in
protest against Indonesian government policies and human rights violations. The group was originally
from West Papua. Today ?"You Are the Only One" was played at 1417 and again at 1431.

cricket match played at Chennai; in both English and Hindi. Earlier at 1054, heard two stations
here. One perhaps Radio Vanuatu and other one Cuba? Did not recognize Vanuatu as such and
went to monitor 4KZ instead. So if Vanuatu signs off at 1200, per their schedule, then they will be

today's match coverage started earlier than normal; as usual was in both English and Hindi, but
what was highly unusual was that one of the announcers was a YL, which in the past, I believe,
was an exclusively all male activity for AIR. Fortunately now that Vanuatu has settled into their 1059*

4KZ should be back on the air Dec 28, per the following:
Dec 27, noted Radio 4KZ (5055) was off the air from 1108+ (normal closing time is 1238*).
Is unusual for it to be silent, so sent off an email to Al Kirton (general manager of 4KZ).
Wondered if it was another case of him turning off the transmitter remotely when there
was a lot of lightning around? No, it was something else today.
His quick reply: "Hi Ron - The 4Gx modem at east Innisfail requires a reboot. I’ll go out
later today [his local Saturday, Dec 28 - Ron] and do it. Thank you for noticing this. We
appreciate it. Regards, Al"

TAIWAN/AUSTRALIA. new frequency 6215, Sound of Hope, 1123-1201, Dec 28. Almost daily I monitor
SOH on 6230 and 6280, which are traditional SOH frequencies, so was surprised to find a new SOH
signal // to 6230 (today 6280 was blocked by strong CNR1 jamming). New frequency stronger than
6230 // 6280 ever heard in the past. At *1157, start of a marine message in USB; sounded Aussie(?),
with "All stations, all stations, all stations, . . Australia India Charlie . . ., Australia India Charlie . ."
(definitely not Taupo Maritime Radio); mostly blocked by SOH's signal; message was fairly short.
One possibility is perhaps "Maritime Safety Queensland" - https://www.msq.qld.gov.au/Safety/Marine-radios .
At 1200, SOH usual ID by OM and YL with "Xiwang zhi sheng guoji guangbo diantai" (Sound of Hope
international broadcast station). Audio on new frequency seemed more muffled than other SOH
frequencies? Needs more monitoring. On one hand, is nice to have a new SOH frequency with
decent signal strength, but on the other hand, is also unfortunate to be strongly blocking marine
messages/alerts.
