New Year's Greetings from California!

AUSTRALIA. 5045, Ozy Radio, 1508, Jan 1. Always best in LSB
due to QRM from BBR (China) on 5050; John Paul Young, Scottish
born Australian pop singer with "Love Is In the Air," Australian pop
band Leonardo's Bride, with "Even When I'm Sleeping," the band
originally from New Zealand who moved to Australia, etc.; frequent

AUSTRALIA. 5055, Radio 4KZ, 1231+, on Jan 2. Noted decent
audio level earlier than usual; commercial announcements ("money
back guarantee," etc.); pop songs - Kenny Loggins "Whenever I
Call You Friend," Herman's Hermits "There's A Kind Of Hush All
Over The World," The Lovin' Spoonful "Daydream," etc.; 1300-1306
with news, sports (item about tennis player Andy Murray), weather
and SW SA (".. 60 meter band .."); format: 1231-1300 pop music,
then 1306-1400 & 1405+ with call-in program with the usual YL
announcer.

BHUTAN. 6035, BBS, on Jan 2, checking 0110-0130; didn't hear
any sign on, but checking again at 0134, they were on the air; only
carrier heard. Jim Young, listening in Southern Calif., noted *0132.
My Dec 27 non-log perhaps due to late sign on?

BOLIVIA. 6134.82, R. Santa Cruz. Jan 2, with usual closing format
of the "Santa Cruz" song 0203-0205, then dead air for a long time
(0300+).

BTW - 5952.42, Radio Pio Doce, was already off the air by 0103, on
Jan 2, after their greatly extended schedule for New Year's Eve.

CHINA. 4990, PBS Hunan. Starting suddenly in Jan 2015, I found the
reception here had greatly improved and had been so till several months
ago; since then have mostly had below threshold level audio. Gone are
the days of decent reception!

ETHIOPIA. 6030, Radio Oromiya (presumed), on Jan 2. CNR1 the
strongest station here, with Calgary (Canada) with slow, deep fading in
and out at 1453, with comedy and canned laughter; by 1458 suddenly
realized I was also hearing definite HOA music/singing in the mix. Has
been a long time since I last heard this station!

INDONESIA[and non-log]. 3325, Pro 1 RRI Palangkaraya, 1517+, on
Jan 2. Segment with all songs in English; Alphaville "Forever Young,"
Erma Franklin "Piece of My Heart," etc.; "Pro satu RRI Palangkaraya" SA
jingle, best in USB due to Korea on 3320; strong CW QRM the whole
time. The only Indonesian on SW today!

9525.95, VOI, on Jan 2, found still off the air; no carrier at all.

KOREA NORTH. 6400, Pyongyang BS, 1450, on Jan 2. A very strong
signal here; never before heard at this level; // 3320 (not // 3219.9). Result
of better conditions today?

PAPUA NEW GUINEA. 3260, NBC Madang, Jan 2 running later than
usual (past normal 1200*); 1205 end of the "NBC News" in English; into
pop music show till suddenly off at 1230*.

SIKKIM. 4835.0, AIR Gangtok, 0058, Jan 2. Tentatively heard the
AIR IS, which was later confirmed by Jim Young, listening in Southern
Calif.

SOLOMON ISLANDS. 5020, SIBC, 1150-1203*, on Jan 2. Unique format
without the normally heard "Evening devotional," instead pop songs up till
the usual canned full SA; suddenly off after a few notes of the NA.

Hi Glenn,

The following posts are from WRTH Facebook. Craig Allen is the
owner and operator of Ozy Radio (5045 kHz.).

M Breyel - This email also just in from Al Kirton [4KZ - 5055 kHz.]:
"In two or three weeks we should be up to 1.2 kilowatts." (posted
about 0600 UT, Jan 3)

Craig Allen - "Both 5045Khz and 5055khz use Omnidirectional NVIS
antennas so the closer you are to each service the better the signal.
5055khz [4KZ] is covering the North of Australia and 5045khz [Ozy
Radio] covers the south, soon there will be 5050khz for the West
coast of Australia and 4835Khz for the middle."
(posted about 0200 UT, Jan 3)

Craig's future 5050 kHz., will of course go head to head with Beibu Bay
Radio, broadcasting from Nanning, in southern China (near Vietnam),
with 15 kW of power. Future 4835 kHz. will be unfortunate for continued
AIR Gangtok (Sikkim) reception, which here in the states is a challenge
to hear now without any QRM (once ABC Alice Springs NT closed down
it became possible to again hear Gangtok).

I examined the strength of the signal using PERSEUS servers all over

I think it is a transmission from South Asia to the Middle East.

Jan 3, indeed found SIBC on 5020. At 1201, with the end of the
National Anthem; then just carrier (dead air); by 1240 could make
out pop music, but low modulation and significant dead air between
songs; 1345 played Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band's song
"Against the Wind"; still being heard with low modulation at final
check at 1610. Most of today was unusable! Only a few brief
announcements heard, so not the frequent SAs for "Wantok FM,"
so assume this was SIBC extended programming and not the
relay.

Re: Asia - Pacific DX log (14) Ron Howard - Jan 05, 2018 20:04 UTC No.2910

BHUTAN. 6035, BBS. On Jan 5, with *0106. Usual format of
announcers with brief breaks for their distinctive indigenous
stringed instrumental music at 0112, 0114 and 0116; indigenous
music/singing/chanting 0116-0129. Sign on times here can vary
as much as by half an hour!

BOUGAINVILLE[non-log]. 3325, NBC Bougainville, 1123, on Jan 4.
Recently has been off the air.

CANADA. 6030, Calgary - CFVP relaying CKMX (AM 1060), at 1338,
on Jan 4. Mixing with stronger CNR1, but could make out a definite
promo for the "Calgary Motorcycle Show," being held this Fri.-Sat.-Sun.

CHINA. 5112 USB, VC01 (Chinese military numbers station), with
numbers in Chinese; Jan 3, first noted at 1126 till past 1453+. Jan 4
from 1126 to past 1606+.

INDIA. 4920, AIR Chennai, 1600, Jan 3. What is happening here?
Recently hearing strong buzzing sound (assume a problem with
transmitter, but which one - India or Tibet?). Also noted strong buzzing
sound here on Jan 5, at 0109 and later at 1437.

6145, AIR (tentative) via Aligarh, 0135, on Jan 5. Tuning by noted
subcontinent chanting/singing, so a fair chance it was them.

7505.47, off frequency AIR, via New Delhi (Kingsway), 0216, on
Jan 5. Nice subcontinent music; my local sunset was at 0105 UT,
while Delhi sunrise was at 0145 UT. Of course this reception possible
with the absence of WRNO (USA). Last Jan also noted AIR here, but
was on 7505.0 and again with WRNO silent back then.

INDONESIA[non-logs]. 3325, Pro 1 RRI Palangkaraya, recently off
the air, but on Jan 4, was hearing a decent level carrier here (dead air)
with no audio at all from 1222 to 1316, but by 1342 the carrier was gone;
so perhaps RRI working on their transmitter?

Voice of Indonesia (9525.95), continues silent; Jan 4 checking 1124-
1221.

There are a number of days now that this country has no presence
on SW at all.

KOREA NORTH. On Jan 4, from 1307 to 1312, there was no jamming
at all of the various South Korea stations (5995, 6015, 6135, etc.), but
started up again at *1312.

KOREA NORTH[non]. 6085, Shiokaze/Sea Breeze, via Yamata, 1300
on Jan 4 (Thursday). Anomaly today, should have been in English, but not
so during 1300-1400; instead Japanese first half hour, followed by Korean.
A one time Thursday anomaly?

MALAYSIA. 9835, Sarawak FM, 1600, Jan 4. Choral National Anthem
(Negaraku ・Lagu Kebangsaan Malaysia); fair.

MYANMAR. 5985, Myanmar Radio, 1231-1238, on Wednesday, Jan 3.
Language lesson "Say It In English"; "How do I pronounce this word?"
"How do I say that?"; more dialog with Tom and his aunt Jennifer; not as
readable as usual. Repeat of Monday's show.

Wednesday's (Jan 3) VOA program "The Benefits of Baby Talk," at 1542;
was a repeat of last Wednesday's show.

5985, on Thursday, Jan 4, with NHK's production of "Friends Around
the World," being a repeat of their Sept 24 show, with interview of
storyteller John Kilaka.

PAPUA NEW GUINEA. 3260, NBC Madang, on Jan 4, NBC News
in English started late (1205); followed by pop songs till cut off at 1214*;
poor; recently running later than usual.

ROMANIA. 6130, RRI, 0143, Jan 5. "DX Mailbag" program in English;
fair-good.

TIBET. Xizang PBS via Lhasa, 1600+, Jan 3. Thanks to Richard Langley
in DXLD yg for providing complete list of all the frequencies for the "Holy
Tibet" program in English; intro for "China Tibet Broadcasting":

4905 - fair.

4920 - recently with strong buzzing sound (assume a problem with
transmitter, but which one - India or Tibet?). Also noted strong buzzing
sound here on Jan 5, at 0109 and later at 1437.

6110 - very poor (QRM UNID station).

6130 - not heard.

6200 - fair; good by 1623.

7255 - almost fair.

7385 - totally covered by strong CNR1. Jamming who? // 6125.

ZAMBIA. 4965, Voice of Hope Africa, 1613, Jan 3. Via long path; religious
songs; in English; almost fair.

AUSTRALIA. 5045, Ozy Radio, 1200-1318, Jan 6. Best in LSB;

Dream It's Over," etc.); news 1202-1207 & 1232-1237 (fires burning
out of control in South Australia and mentioned Victoria, etc.); 1207 &
1309 with usual sequence of commercial announcement for Australian

ERITREA. 7140.0, VOBME 1 (presumed), 1420, on Jan 6. Nice HOA
repetitive music/singing; ham QRM, but no white noise/DRM jamming.
Have never understood why the jamming only starts about 1502? Why
not start when Eritrea first comes on the air?

7181.55, VOBME 2 (presumed), 1424, on Jan 6. In vernacular with on-air
phone calls; some HOA music/singing; only ham QRM, with no white noise/
DRM jamming.

INDIA. 4920, AIR Chennai. Regarding my recent reports of a strong
buzzing sound here - Thanks to Jim Young and Wolfie for establishing
that the offending transmitter is the one in India. Thanks fellows for your
assistants! Buzzing again heard 1240, on Jan 6.

ANGOLA. 4949.74, R. Nacional de Angola, 0157-0215, Jan 8.
Very noticeable het due to AIR Radio Kashmir, Srinagar, on 4950.0;
after 0215 het was gone.

AUSTRALIA. 5045, Ozy Radio, 1230-1310, Jan 7. Best in LSB;
1230-1235 news (close to being readable); pop songs; the Melbourne
duo of Globos (Wendy De Waal and Mark Trevorrow), with "The Beat
Goes On," etc.; 1259-1309 news; followed by commercial announcement
for Tecsun radios, laughing kookaburra, "Waltzing Matilda," full SA.

5055, Radio 4KZ, 1314, Jan 7. Best in USB; mostly pop songs; Elvis
with "Love Me Tender"; series of commercial announcements; poor.

The power output of 4KZ? There have been considerable comments
made at WRTH Facebook page regarding just what the power on 5055
kHz. is. Craig Allen's (Ozy Radio) input and info from Al Kirton (4KZ), et
al., are all rather contradictory (500w, 300w or 250w?). My 4KZ SW QSL
indicates 500w, but is that correct? Sent "thank you" email (Jan 7) to Al
regarding his QSL to me. His reply "We are still on 250 watts. I am sure
you will notice an improvement when we go to 1kW," so who can say for
sure?

BHUTAN. 6035, BBS, on Jan 8, with a late sign on; not on at 0132, but
carrier here by 0146; by then was below threshold level audio.

BOTSWANA. 4930, VOA. Continuing with their expanded schedule; Jan 8
at 0102 with VOA news; 0105 into "VOA 1" music program; fair.

KASHMIR. 4950.0, AIR Radio Kashmir, Srinagar (presumed), 0157-0215*,
Jan 8. Best in USB to get away from Angola (4949.74) QRM; subcontinent
music/singing; 0200 news (seemed in Hindi), followed by child with
commercial announcement; poor due to QRM.

KOREA NORTH[non]. 6085, Shiokaze/Sea Breeze, via Yamata, 1334,
Jan 7, Sunday. Special rebroadcast of the joint Shiokaze & Furusato no
Kaze sponsored musical concert held Dec 16, as part of the annual year
end international symposium that was held in Tokyo; jammed.

PAPUA NEW GUINEA. 3260, NBC Madang, 1134 till cut off at 1210*,
Jan 7. Their normal Sunday religious programs of preaching in Pidgin
and religious songs; poor. Clearly they have re-scheduled the syndicated
program hosted by Stacy Rose ("Island Praise"), which formerly would
have been here Sunday at about 1200. I miss her unique music show!

SIKKIM. 4835.0, AIR Gangtok, 0109, Jan 8. Subcontinent music; weak.

in English with pop songs (Whitney Houston with "I Wanna Dance With
Somebody," etc.); 1200 into vernacular with the normal brief breaks for
indigenous stringed instrumentals at 1213 & 1215; indigenous music/
singing from 1220 till suddenly off; mixing with PBS Yunnan (China) till
about 1201*. Certainly one of their better days and recently not heard

broadcast" on frequency); without QRM the strong signal would have had

from Eike Bierwirth (Germany) and the follow up reports by Richard
Langley (Canada) and Bill Bingham (RSA), all in DXLDyg. Wonderful
to have them back again!

Highlights:

0230: Test tone already on; mixing with CRI (China), in Russian.

0240: Test tone off; start of the distinctive call of the African Fish
Eagle (national bird of Zambia) IS, till Anthem at 0251; still mixing
with CRI.

0306+: African pop music/singing; CRI already gone.

0344-0354: intro & exit music certainly sounded religious (Christian),
with assume preaching in vernacular; followed by repetitive African
drums and singing.

0359: Call of the African Fish Eagle, along with music.

0400-0404: News in vernacular, followed by rooster crowing & ads(?).

0406+: Two announcers chatting and laughing; gave phone number and
started taking on air calls.

0422-0426: just a carrier (dead air), with no audio.

on Jan 13, found off the air; no carrier at all, while Ozy Radio (5045)
was on the air.

BOTSWANA. 4930, VOA, continuing with their expanded schedule;
Jan 13 at 0042; first time I have ever heard indigenous African music
here, usually only hearing Western style pop songs (The hit - VOA 1,
English language music network). Program called "African Music Mix";
this from their website:

"From North to South and East to West, African Music Mix plays only
the best. Tune in and enjoy the non-stop dance-party with your favorite
African artists. Drawing from an archive of over 15,000 African selections
of dance music styles such as N'dombolo, Benga, Hip-Life, Couper-Decaler,
Fuji, Mbalax, Rai, Kwaito, Hip Hop, and Desert Blues. Join the party and
listen to African Music Mix, the best variety of African dance music."
http://www.voanews.com/z/1437/about .

Later, after 0105, carried "The hit - VOA 1" music show.

CHINA. 5050, Beibu Bay Radio. More and more I'm recently hearing
segments after 1500+ that are in English, as well as the normal Chinese.
Jan 13, at 1512, in English explaining about some pop song; into a comedy
skit that also had some English, but mostly in Chinese. More monitoring
is needed to determine just how prevalent this English is.

INDIA. 4970, AIR Shillong, at 1542, Jan 13, sports item in English about
today's South Africa vs India cricket match (see Jeypore); news headlines -
helicopter crash off Mumbai coast, etc.

5040, AIR Jeypore, 1431-1450, Jan 13. Live coverage from South Africa
of the India vs RSA cricket match; in English & Hindi; AIR promo to contact
them via email at cricket @ allindiaradio.com; "South Africa 5 wickets down,"
etc. Thanks very much to Dave Valko for the early alert that this was on!

time pips and ID; weekend schedule 0000-0500, while weekdays is 0300-0500;
again being heard at ToH without their distinctive Jew's harp (khomus) IS.

Re: China - Beibu Bay Radio with English Ron Howard - Jan 14, 2018 17:30 UTC No.2944
Jan 14 - Indeed BBR definitely has an English segment between 
the Chinese programming; today's 1516-1521 segment was the
audio feed from the Jan 3 "Jimmy Kimmel Live" ABC (USA) TV show,
with interview of actress Jessica Chastain; fair and readable.

Public Service Announcement, along with SA; pop songs; Australian
folk group, The Seekers, with "A World of Our Own," etc.; best in LSB.

5055, Radio 4KZ. Best in USB; 1144-1205*, Jan 15. Checking for the
new sign off time; did go off the air, so tuned away, assuming they were
really off for good, but not so; a 1223 check, found them back on the air
again; still broadcasting 1357+; mostly pop songs ("I Want to Know What
Love Is" by Foreigner, etc.). Ozy Radio (5045) better today than 4KZ.

INDIA. 5040, AIR Jeypore, 1126, Jan 15. Third day of live coverage
from South Africa of the India vs RSA cricket match; in English & Hindi;
asking listeners to contact them at cricket @ allindiaradio.?; later back to
regular programming (subcontinent music/singing), as rain interrupted the
South Africa match.

INDONESIA[and non-log]. 9525.95, VOI, on Jan 14, still off the air; no
carrier at all at 1324. Jan 15, no carrier at 1138, 1307 & 1359 checking.
So 3325 (Pro 1 RRI Palangkaraya) remains the only active SW Indonesian
station.

KOREA NORTH/SOUTH. 6250, on Jan 15, at 1257, with a rare event;
instead of the normal heavy jamming from N. Korea, was able to hear two
stations mixing together with no jamming; from the south with the much
weaker Echo of Hope - Voice of Hope (10 kW) and from the north with
Echo of Unification (100 kW); 1259 clear "V O H" SA underneath EOU.
Usually the jamming is so strong here it's impossible to tell what is going
on. My audio at http://goo.gl/sQQwKu .

KOREA NORTH. On Jan 14, at 1148, noted no jamming at all on
3910, 3930, 3985, 5995, 6015, 6135, etc. Again on Jan 15, at 1252,
all N. Korea jamming off the air on same frequencies. A daily event?


KOREA SOUTH. Echo of Hope - Voice of Hope (VOH). Thanks very
much to Hiroyuki Komatsubara, who recently noted that VOH has
dropped their third program ("Hope plaza of my brothers" or "Hope
Plaza of my brothers who have been defeated"), which had been
exclusively on 6350.

Heard Jan 14, at 1131:

4885 - "Radio Broadcasting Guide" (not // to the other frequencies).
This one hour program is repeated every hour. Never jammed.

3985 // 5995 // 6250 // 6350 // 9100 - The main VOH program; all jammed
except for 9100.

MYANMAR. 5915, Myanmar Radio, 1327, on Jan 15. Anomaly of CRI
being off the air; very rare; able to hear indigenous music/singing, but
strong QRM from 5920, with the N. Korea jamming of the Voice of Freedom
from S. Korea, so best in LSB.

7200.0, Myanmar Radio, 1230, Jan 14. Start of the lectures via Distance
Learning Service; mostly in vernacular; mentioned in English "long vowels"
and "short vowels"; fair. My frequency reference of .0, is due to the fact
that in past years this was often off frequency (7200.1), via a different
transmitter. Jan 15, off the air at 1341*, after theme music.

PAPUA NEW GUINEA. 3260, NBC Madang, 1201-1228*, Jan 14. Poor
reception during their normal Sunday religious music program.

BTW - NBC Bougainville (3325) continues silent through Jan 15.

(1238 & 1307) still clear of CRI, but as usual QRM from 5920, with the
N. Korea jamming of the Voice of Freedom from S. Korea, so best in LSB.
So what happened to CRI?

7200.0, Myanmar Radio, 1230, Jan 17. Start of the lectures via Distance
Learning Service; in vernacular and a lot of English: lecture on nuclear
technology (applications in agriculture, industry, research, molecular biology,
etc.), English with heavy accent; lecture on "gravitational force," with many
equations; 1349* after theme music; fair-good.

Jan 18, exceptionally strong signal; 1230+; lecture about isotopes, molecules,
electrons, etc., with many different equations ("Find the different wavelengths

Re: Asia - Pacific DX log (14) Ron Howard - Jan 20, 2018 22:52 UTC No.2957
AUSTRALIA. 5055, Radio 4KZ. Best in USB; random listening
1125 till off at 1405*, Jan 20. Mostly pop songs; Petula Clark
"Downtown," Roy Orbison(?) "Crying," Blue Swede "Hooked on
a Feeling," America "A Horse With No Name," etc.; 1400-1405
news before cut off. Any day that I can make out multi-song IDs,
is indeed a good day!

CHINA. 5050, Beibu Bay Radio. On Jan 19, during 1500-1530,
with mostly Chinese, but also with what I would best describe as
an eclectic assortment of English (brief comedy skit and reading of
Lord Byron's "She Walks in Beauty," by Vincent Price); songs in
English (Mac Davis with "Baby Don't Get Hooked On Me," Augustana
with "Boston," Fiddler on the Roof (Broadway) song "To Life"; mostly
fair. My recording at http://goo.gl/iWA67s .

KOREA NORTH/SOUTH. 6250, on Jan 20, at 1318, another day hearing
two stations mixing together with no N. Korea jamming; from the south with
a somewhat weaker Echo of Hope - Voice of Hope (10 kW) and from the
north with Echo of Unification (100 kW); "V O H" SA underneath EOU; *1323
jamming started, totally covering both stations.

KOREA NORTH. On Jan 20, at 1318, noted no jamming at all on 3910,
3930, 3985, 5995, 6015, 6135, etc.; jamming started at *1323. Perhaps
giving the south a brief respite from the jamming due to upcoming Olympics?
Look for these daily breaks! Dave Valko on the East Coast also noted
"unjammed 1006 and again at 1209," with 6520 and 6600 in the clear.

MYANMAR. 7200.0, Myanmar Radio, 1230, Jan 20. Start of the lectures
via Distance Learning Service; trigonometry lesson with many equations.
Five minute audio at http://goo.gl/oXgRaj .

PAPUA NEW GUINEA. 3260, NBC Madang, 1151-1226*, Jan 20. In Pidgin;
seemed to be interviews about the disputed 2017 Madang regional
election results (http://goo.gl/YGEyKG); first time I have heard
this Public Service Announcement - testing of their emergency
announcement system with series of tones followed in Pidgin and
tones again followed in English, that if there had been an emergency,
listeners should tune to NBC for announcements; suddenly cut off.

SUDAN. off frequency 7204.0, Sudan Radio (presumed), 0447, Jan 20.
Sounded to be in Arabic, but weak; nothing on 7205.0.

ZAMBIA. 5915, R. One/ZNBC, at 0415, on Jan 20. 纏ambia National
Broadcasting Corporation" and "Radio One・ call of the African Fish Eagle
with music; "One Zambia, one nation"; news in vernacular; 0420 end of the
news with "Radio One" SA.

ETHIOPIA[non]. 11600, Radio OMN (Oromia Media Network) via
Kostinbrod/Sofia, testing on Jan 26; tuned in at 1554 to hear their carrier
already on; 1600 start of program; perhaps in the Oromo language, as
directed to the the Oromo people of Ethiopia; three minutes into the
broadcast hit with jamming. OMN is a U.S. based nonprofit organization,
located in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Website https://www.oromiamedia.org/ .
Grayline reception, with my local sunrise at 1513 UT and Sofia sunset at
1531 UT. Also heard today at 1600, by Edward Kusalik via a remote in
Europe (HB9DC).

Thanks very much to Mauno Ritola (WRTH Facebook) for the tip that OMN
is again testing. I last heard them testing on Dec 22 (1524-1532), when they
were on the air 1500-1600; new testing time is an hour later. My five minute

AUSTRALIA. 5045, Ozy Radio, on Jan 25, at 1408. Usual
commercial announcement for Tecsun radios, laughing kookaburra,
"Waltzing Matilda" and full SA; pop songs; Australian singer Kylie
Minogue with "Locomotion," etc.; 1431-1446 international news
(many items about US president, N. Korea, Russia, etc.); best in LSB.

5055, Radio 4KZ. Best in USB; 1359-1404*, Jan 25. Elton John song;
news till suddenly off the air.

INDIA. Regarding my eve of Republic Day reception (Jan 25) -
very much appreciate feedback from Gautam Kumar Sharma
(Abhayapuri, Assam, India), which confirms many of my observations:

"Thanks for your observations on reception quality of AIR Regional
Stations specially from the North East. Yes, AIR-Shillong is now
heard with low intensity audio level..(i.e.perhaps low modulation)
on 4970kHz...as I regularly aircheck in the morning 0030-0330 utc..
And also with slight rough audio. Both AIR-Aizawl on 5050kHz &
AIR-Kursong on 4895kHz are not heard here from a long time. As
posted by me in DX India Yahoo Groups..recently AIR-Gangtok on
4835kHz was heard with strong hum and as per my latest monitoring
now it was off the air. As reported earlier in DX Circles...AIR-Chennai
was noted with strong hum for a few days but it was rectified within
a very short time. Now the most consistence reception giving AIR
Regional Shortwave Station is AIR-Jeypore on 5040kHz.."

Jan 26, noted that AIR Gangtok (4835) seemed back to normal at 1307,
with faint audio, but no transmitter hum. Yesterday clearly off the air.

5040, AIR Jeypore, 1218, Jan 26. Yet another day of live coverage from
South Africa of the India vs RSA cricket match; in English; later with
coverage in Hindi.

INDONESIA[and non-log]. 9525.95, VOI, Jan 26. Still off the air through
1117. Only active Indonesian SW station is Pro 1 RRI Palangkaraya (3325),
heard Jan 26, at 1537, with indigenous music/chanting; mostly fair (Ron
Howard, Asilomar State Beach, CA)

KOREA NORTH/SOUTH. 6250, on Jan 26, at 1228, with Echo of Hope -
Voice of Hope in the clear (no jamming) with good signal; at *1230 hit with
the strong sign on of Echo of Unification.

KOREA NORTH. Seems the Olympic diplomacy is really working? On
Jan 26, at 1106, found about a 20 minute segment of no jamming at all on
3910, 3930, 3985, 5995, 6015, 6135, 6250, etc.; most of the S. Korea
stations had fair to good reception; jamming started about 1127 for most
frequencies, but for some reason didn't jam 3910, 3930 nor 3985. Again
at 1228+ had no jamming at all till *1244. In the past was extremely rare
to find these segments with no jamming, but now is almost a daily happening!

BTW - Hope to someday find 6135 free of jamming before 1500, so I can
check on Glenn Hauser's UNID (perhaps Madagascar).

MYANMAR. 5915, Myanmar Radio. Had been very nice recently to have CRI
off the air here, leaving Myanmar in the clear, but Jan 25, CRI returned to
cause heavy QRM 1300+.

PAPUA NEW GUINEA. 3260, NBC Madang, 1138-1208*, Jan 26. Pop
Pacific Islands songs; DJ in Pidgin; 1202 usual bird call and NBC news
in English till suddenly off.

SOLOMON ISLANDS. 5020, SIBC. Jan 25, starting at 1257 with only
a carrier (no audio at all) till last check at 1516, during which had periods
of faint audio; very low modulation; playing pop songs; mostly unusable;
greatly extended schedule today (past 1200*).

SIKKIM. 4835, AIR Gangtok, 1444-1515, Jan 27. Above theshold
level audio; segment in English 1444-1459, with pop songs; REO
Speedwagon "Keep on Loving You," a Rolling Stones song, etc.;
several clear mentions of "All India Radio"; 1500-1512 non-stop
solo sitar instrumental music; 1512 start of the New Delhi audio
feed (tone, followed by commercial announcements); 1515 news
in Hindi. This past week there were days they were clearly not
broadcasting, while other days had strong hum from their transmitter,
so great to find them doing so well today.

Still a challenge to hear this, but today was one of their best days, as
normally they are well below threshold level audio. Details very similar
to these that Bruce Churchill reported in DXLD 16-36, during the same
time period:

" .... Surprised to hear English program at 1430 to 1459 with woman
announcer intro (滴ello all you beautiful people out there・his is・br>Gangtok・oday we will be talking about・) followed by intro instrumental/
vocal music piece. Talk on women痴 equality in education and society. Pop
vocal/instrumental music selections in between talk segments. Back to
vernacular at 1459.5 with man and local instrumental music. Commercials
at 1512-1515. Intermittent slight CWQRM on 4836. Have logged Sikkim
from this site before but in the Dec/Jan time frame and with QRM from
ABC. From this site Gangtok was one of the predominant carrier indications
on 60 mb." (via remote Perseus site in E. Finland, on Sept 1, 2016).

My audio today of faint SA and soft sitar music at http://goo.gl/Evp6dG

BOUGAINVILLE. 3325, NBC Bougainville, 1101-1139*, on Jan 31.
Not on the air every day! Monologue in Pidgin and pop songs;
moderate RRI QRM; suddenly cut off.

CHINA. 5050, Beibu Bay Radio. On Feb 1, from 1500 to 1525, with
Chinese and English; American mother talking about how she taught
her kids from an early age to learn Chinese; the movie "Greatest
Showman" being released today across China; sound bites from the
movie along with song from the movie "Never Enough."

Jan 30, BBR, 1505-1525. In Chinese, but playing Bobby Darin - "Mack
the Knife," Frank Sinatra - "Fly Me To The Moon," Ray Charles - "Georgia
On My Mind" and Chubby Checker - "Let's Twist Again"; fair; always ending
this segment with "See you next time."

6035, PBS Yunnan (Voice of Shangri-la), 1143-1200*, Jan 31. In Chinese.
Their normal format is playing a variety of music, not just Chinese songs;
most commonly cuts off at 1201*, as I have often reported. BBS (Bhutan)
on the other hand from 1100 to 1200 is in English and 1130+ normally plays
pop hit songs in English. No BBS heard today.

INDIA. 5010, AIR Thiruvananthapuram // 5040, AIR Jeypore, 1327+,
Feb 1. Again with live coverage of the India vs RSA cricket match from
South Africa; in English and Hindi; mostly fair reception both frequencies.

McCartney & Stevie Wonder - "Ebony and Ivory," Billy Joel - "Just the
Way You Are," Diana Ross & Lionel Richie - "Endless Love," Stevie
Wonder - "I Just Called To Say I Love You" (unusual segment!); in
Bahasa Indonesia; 1504 "RRI Palangkaraya" SA and ad for iPhone; fair.
Still is the only active Indonesian SW station.

KOREA NORTH/SOUTH. 6250, on Jan 26, at 1229. More diplomacy
in action? No jamming from the north! Sign on of Echo of Unification with
distinctive IS; stronger than Echo of Hope - Voice of Hope. My audio at
http://goo.gl/xAx6SJ . Very nice to finally hear EOU's IS for the first time,
as normally the jamming from the north totally covers it!

KOREA SOUTH. 5920, Voice of Freedom, 1506, Jan 31. Ends their
audio; keeps transmitter on till starting audio again about 1552; strong
carrier. This is their daily format of not turning off transmitter.

MYANMAR. 5985, Myanmar Radio, 1253, on Wednesday, Jan 31.
Language lesson "Say It In English"; a nervous "Tom" meets his future
in-laws and knocks over a coffee table, etc.; mostly fair.

Also on Jan 31, VOA special English program "Top Technology Stories
of 2017," at 1544; audio streaming and transcript at http://goo.gl/kqKfFF .
A repeat of last Wed. show.

fair. Probably on the weekend they just run repeat shows 1500-1525

FIJI. 558, Radio Fiji One (presumed), 1211-1221, on Feb 3. A rare
day with audio above threshold level; was already Sunday in Suva, so
mostly religious songs with somechatting in language that sounded
right to be Fiji; poor due to the normally strong San Francisco QRM
from 560 (KSFO). My poor quality audio at http://goo.gl/sB62CK

RUSSIA. 7345, Radio Sakha, via Yakutsk.Feb3 (Saturday),noted on
the air before 0300; at 0500 time pips and ended audio, with transmitter off

pop songs (The Carpenters - "Top Of The World," etc.); 1400 start
of the news; cut off before completed.

1133-1200* DJ in Pidgin with pop songs; suddenly off.

BTW - NBC Madang (3260) off the air again on Feb 5, at 1142 & 1200

JAPAN[non-log]. 5006, HFD Radio Station JG2XA. For a long time
now (since early last year?) this frequency has been silent of their CW
broadcasting. Recently noted 8006 is also silent now of CW. Must not
be on SW any longer? Seems their former website is also no longer
active. In the past these low powered stations (200 watts) carried out
the HF-Doppler (HFD) Project and were heard almost daily by me here
on the west coast. So the project has been completed or they ran out
of funds? (Feb 5)

MYANMAR. 5985, Myanmar Radio, 1212-1225, Feb 5. The Monday
edition of the language lesson "Say It In English"; for the first time today
they are recycling these series of dialogues; first heard today's repeated
show back on Aug 7, 2017. Will be repeated again this Wednesday.

In DXLD 17-32: "5985, Myanmar Radio, on Aug 7, tuned in at 1215, to hear
the Monday edition of the English language lesson ("Say It In English") already
in progress; program will be repeated on Wed.; dialogue between "Mr. Harris"
and "Tom," who wants Tom to take the morning 7:00 train to Manchester; "The
meeting is very important. Don't miss the train"; Tom works for a company that
"makes some of the finest clocks and watches in the world," but he is "never
on time for anything"; he missed the train and then rushes to take a taxi to the
airport to catch the 8:00 plane to Manchester; 1227 end of "Say It In English";
fairly readable . . . (Ron Howard, Asilomar State Beach, CA, Et E1, antenna:
100' long wire, DX LISTENING DIGEST)"

Hello! Ron-san and Hiroyuki.

Very nice, Ron-san.
eQSL from Russia is really rare, isn't it?
I think that it is amazing for that.

Amano

I'm coming to Hokkaido right now.
I will summarize the broadcast heard yesterday.

- - - - - Amano's log:

KOREA SOUTH. 9885, National Unified Broadcasting, *1200-, on Feb 7.
I confirmed that it moved from 7530 kHz to 9885 kHz.

KOREA NORTH. 3945, EOU, 1430-1431*, on Feb 7.
I heard EOU's end announcement and confirmed that I have not announced 3945 kHz yet.
My audio at http://radio.chobi.net/bbsasia/img/4126.mp3

CHINA. 837, CCTV News Channel, 1645-1705, on Feb 7.
I confirmed the SA/ID of CCTV News Channel at 837 kHz at 1655 and 1700.
The SA/ID in Chinese of CCTV News Channel is "Zhongyang dianshitai Xinwen Pindao".
Is Harbin News Radio relaying CCTV-13 sound?
My audio at http://radio.chobi.net/bbsasia/img/4127.mp3

KOREA NORTH. 819, KCBS, -1828*,on Feb 7.
KCBS of each SW band c/off after the end of the broadcast,
but the 819 kHz KCBS doesn't c/off and a mysterious signal is started.
Perhaps, I think that it is jamming after the end of the broadcast.

CHINA. 927, Liaoning Village Radio, 1845-1903,on Feb 7.

Hello! Ron-san and Hiroyuki.

I also heard the 2018 Winter Pyeongchang Olympics opening ceremony in the 972 kHz to 1200 UTC.
I have not confirmed, but I think probably that VOF relayed KBS.
972 kHz Since I was concerned about the Chinese language heard behind while receiving it, I checked it later.

- - - - - Amano's log:

CHINA. 972, Harbin Economic Radio, 1225-1235, on Feb 9.
I heard Chinese when KBS is null.
After listening for a while,
I was able to confirm
the SA/ID "Haerbin jingji guangbo FM ba-ba-jiu ni de caifu RADIO".
In English, "Harbin Economic Radio, FM889 is your wealth radio".
I could confirm by mmww(Chinese DXer)'s followers.

RUSSIA. 5940, Radio Rossii Kamchatka, assume via the Yelizovo transmitter site on
the Kamchatka peninsula; 0240-0300*, Feb 14. Very poor reception, with QRM from what
sounded like IBRA Media, Radio Sadaye Zindagi, via Al Dhabayya; OM & YL chatting
(in Russian?); 0259 music. Positive "Radio Rossii" SAs before and after 0300 time pips,
so I presume this was "Radio Rossii Kamchatka," as it fits their former schedule. The
0300* cut off happened in mid-sentence.

Have been monitoring this due to recent reports of Kamchatka testing here, made by
Hiroyuki Komatsubara (Japan) and Dave Valko (USA). Thanks also for the assistance

ETHIOPIA[non]. 11575, Radio OMN (Oromia Media Network),
on Feb 14. Was today a clever ploy to fool the folks jamming from
Ethiopia? If so, it worked! At *1600, instead of Radio OMN
programming, the jammers in Ethiopia instead heard Dr. Terry
Alan Cooper, a forensic psychologist, being interviewed in
English, about solitary confinement. So the jammers must have
assumed Radio OMN was not on today and left, whereas later
(by 1609), Radio OMN had in fact started up; in vernacular with
many SAs; fair. No jamming heard at all, up till I tuned away at
1618.

Hi Ron,

Indeed, at the very beginning the announcer says:
Kamchatka Radio will continue at (12? 13? 19?) hours 10 minutes, and
now please listen to Radio Rossii.

Looks like the activity is related to the 18 March presidential elections,
so it will be no more after that date.

1113 till cut off at 1155*. From 1113 till 1133, with an interesting speech in
English about the different issues voters need to consider when they vote
next year on the Bougainville independence referendum, for autonomy;
comparing many different islands (Cook Islands, Solomon Islands, Puerto
Rico, etc.); somewhat readable.

much longer than usual, which helped their reception; fairly clear SA at
1157 for "NBC Madang, Maus Blong Garamut" (hollowed log, slit-drum

AUSTRALIA. 5055, Radio 4KZ, on Feb 17 (Saturday), at 1107 with
Lulu - "To Sir With Love"; at 1112 with Cliff Richard - "We Don't Talk
Anymore"; noted many breaks for ads and seemed like station promos;
almost readable. The problem for me today was with improved signal
from Australia, I also had stronger than usual QRM from China (BBR)
on 5050, even in USB.

A new weekend schedule? Checking today (Feb 17), at 1255+, found
them off the air. Weekdays had recently noted 1405*, within a minute
or two either way.

CHINA. 4900 // 4940, Voice of Strait, 1302, Feb 16. Live annual coverage
of the Chinese New Year's Eve (Spring Festival) Gala; CCTV audio feed,
with comedy skits, musical selections, etc., from Beijing. The start of China's
most important holiday. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FeRi86DcfyA ,
video of gala starts about 37:30.

Checked almost all the Chinese SW stations for this gala coverage, but only
found these two VOS frequencies carrying it. A disappointment to me, as in
past years I enjoyed the gala on a wide variety of stations.

RUSSIA. 5940.0, Radio Rossii Kamchatka, heard again Feb 15 (Thursday).
0245-0248 & 0256 till end of audio at 0259, with musical segments; 0300-0303
with test tone going on and off till transmitter off at 0303. A different format
than I heard Feb 13, as tonight there was no ID nor time pips; seemed to
be in Russian; some QRM from Radio Sadaye Zindagi.

Conforming to their schedule of being off the air on the weekend, observed
no signal from Kamchatka, Saturday (Feb 17). Noted on 5940.0, from 0238
till cut off at 0259*, with assume IBRA Media, Radio Sadaye Zindagi, via Al
Dhabayya; language and music sounded correct to be them; some QRM
from Brazil on the low side.

ZAMBIA. 5915, ZNBC/Radio One, 0418, Feb 15. Nice "GOtv, live it, love it"
promo in English and vernacular. Always love hearing these ads in English!

no news at 1100, but at 1200 the start of the news before they cut

Thanks to Glenn for the timely alert! Carrier on-off and on again at

BOUGAINVILLE. 3325, NBC Bougainville, Feb 22, from 1105
to 1140, with talks in Pidgin; many mentions of "the people of
Bougainville," "leadership of Bougainville," "Prime Minister,"
"referendum," "Papua New Guinea," etc; 1140-1200 DJ in Pidgin
with music show; 1200 news and "NBC Radio" promos till 1207*
cut off.

Certainly this station is going all out to provide the citizens with
the necessary info to make an informed vote next year for the
Bougainville referendum to decide on independence. Now being
heard almost daily with segments dealing with the referendum,
either in English or Pidgin.

CHINA. 4940, Voice of Strait. For several years now, I have found
it fairly common during the annual Spring (lunar new year) Festival
to find some Chinese SW stations with anomalies. During the long
holiday, many Chinese are off from work and like to travel, so unusual
things sometimes happen on SW.

Feb 24 (Saturday), would normally have the "Focus on China" English
program 1500-1530, but not so today; tuned in at 1438 to hear the audio
feed from the CCTV production about the Qinghai Tibet Plateau in English;
audio feed ended at 1455 and into just Chinese, so not the normal exit
English format for "Focus on China." Will probably be back to normal in
a few weeks time. Today 1500+ with Chinese music show.

BTW - Feb 24, found 1200-1300 not // for 4900 & 4940, as I had recently
heard VOS.

ETHIOPIA [non]. 11575, Radio OMN (Oromia Media Network). Feb 23
(Friday), heard the transmitter turned on at 1555; programming in vernacular
started at ToH; tuned away at 1610 and there was still no jamming at all;
fair-good reception. 11600 silent and didn't note what was happening on
11595, which was heard Feb 24 by Glenn Hauser, et al., as probably the
new // frequency (ex: 11600).

MYANMAR. 5985, Myanmar Radio, 1538, Feb 24 (Saturday). Segment
in English; "This is Myanmar Radio. Now you can hear the weather";
children singing "Let there be Peace on Earth"; 1543-1553 the usual
Sat program "Voice of ASEAN," telling some of the history of ASEAN
and of their various conferences held in ASEAN countries; played pop
songs (Fleetwood Mac - "Don't Stop Thinking About Tomorrow," etc.).

Found the following info on-line, with very positive comments about the
use of radio (my emphasis):

"This new ASEAN in Action (AiA) spin-off project aims to sustain as well as
strengthen the knowledge of ASEAN in the target areas. It is the re-branding
of the twenty year old AiA radio project produced and broadcast by the radio
station of all the ASEAN Member States (AMS) but with enhanced features.
Taking into consideration that radio is the most efficient media, it has a
strategic and vast potential in helping the overall development of each
of the AMS. Thus, by means of combining traditional and new media in
enhancing the project, radio can play a more active and constructive role
in promoting the goals of ASEAN and continue promoting greater
awareness and understanding among the people of ASEAN and beyond.
Entitled 天oice of ASEAN ・Beyond Boundaries・(VoA-BB), this spin-off
project will comprise the annual production of one infotainment radio
programme each by all ten ASEAN member states (AMS) of 15 ・30
minute duration focusing on the 18 ・30 year age group for broadcast
first in its own country then exchanged for broadcast in the other AMS to
enhance awareness about ASEAN among ASEAN citizens and beyond
ASEAN boundaries. Radio is again the chosen medium of this project
because it is still generally considered fast, cheap and easily accessible
mean to disseminate information to the people."

ANDAMAN & NICOBAR ISLANDS. 4760, AIR Port Blair
(presumed not to be AIR Leh [Kashmir]). March 1, from 1211
to 1254, with above threshold level audio; this qualifies as a
rare reception for me; subcontinent music/singing; assume
in Hindi; QRM as usual from strong CODAR. My music audio
at http://goo.gl/fLdQr1 .

AUSTRALIA. March 1 heard:

5055 (4KZ), at 1112 & 1254, but later at 1306 was clearly off the air;
so another abbreviated broadcast. Thunderstorms in the area?

5045 (Ozy Radio), not heard March 1, nor was anything on 4835 (AIR
Gangtok also again silent today). Both low powered Aussie stations
recently on the air rather erratically.

BOUGAINVILLE. 3325, NBC Bougainville, 1120-1201*, March 1. DJ
in Pidgin playing Pacific Islands pop songs.

NBC Madang (3260) not broadcasting March 1, at the same time period.

CHINA. 6115 & 9505, Voice of Strait. Another anomaly or a possible
schedule change? Heard March 1, at 1204 & 1257. Normally, as recently
observed, they would have switched to 4900 & 4940 at about 1200, but
not today. Heard 4900 with *1304, while 4940 was already on at 1303.
Needs more monitoring to determine if this is a real time change of
switching frequencies one hour later.

KOREA SOUTH. 7275, KBS World Radio, 1258, March 1. IS and ID in
Korean; into program in Chinese; QRM from UNID Chinese station.

Shortwave radio started in Yakutia. On the territory of today's 27 districts
will begin broadcasting on short wave. It will cover a total area of 2.5 million
square kilometers, an area that is 78% of the territory of Yakutia. On receipt
of the signal at the ceremony launching the transmitters have reported the head
of the Anabar, Olenek areas. Recall that in 2010, short-wave broadcasting in the
country has been suspended, and until now the signal is fed through fm transmitters
and acted only in towns. But with the launch of shortwave radio Yakut are now able
to listen to fishermen, hunters and people leading a nomadic life outside the
settlements.

May 7, heard R. Sakha on 7295 (very weak the whole
time) // 7345 which was many times stronger; 7345
had poor to almost fair reception. Heard with no QRM
on either frequency. Easy to ID with distinctive IS and
also "Radio Sakha" IDs. Here are today's highlights:

0852: Decent level open carrier.

0900: Brief IS (Jew's harp); 3 time pips ; announcers for
about 10 minutes (news?); assume in Russian (or at
times today in Yakut [a.k.a. Sakha]?).

0909-1000: Very nice music program (ballads, pop songs,
etc.). 0950 clear "Radio Sakha" ID; 0957-1000: musical
montage.

1000: time pips; announcer (news?)

RUSSIA. 7345, Radio Sakha, 1056-1126 & 1151-1235 
on May 10. Sounded like Russian; 1100 brief IS
(Jew's harp); time pips; seemed to be the news being
read for 10 minutes; 1105 break for "Radio Sakha" ID
by different announcer; 1110 ad or promo and into
music show playing ballads. This station plays a lot
of nice music!

Did not sign off at 1200 as they recently had been
reported, but clearly continued on; same format as
after 1100 (seemed to be the news being read for
10 minutes; 1205 break for "Radio Sakha" ID by
different announcer; 1210 ad or promo and into
music show).

From 1151 to 1235 had increasing QRM from Thazin
Radio (Myanmar), but Radio Sakha was stronger. At
1158 had to go to LSB, to get away from V26 Chinese
numbers station that was on frequency in USB. Unable
to tell about 7295 due to OTH radar the few times I did
check.

Thanks very much to Mauno Ritola for the following:

"I also checked this today and they continued until 1400.
7345 kHz much stronger than 7295 kHz both here and via
Japan remote rx, so probably the reported powers should are
vice versa: 250 kW on 7345 kHz and 100 (or even 50 kW?)
on 7295 kHz."

Have to agree with him regarding the power. 7345 has always
been heard many times stronger than 7295.

7345, Radio Sakha, 1200-1235, May 13. Brief IS (Jew's harp);
five time pips; moderate QRM seemed to be from CRI(?), but
surprisingly they were off the air 1202-1219, leaving R. Sakha
with a nice signal in the clear. CNR1 continues silent here.
Did not hear Thazin Radio today. 7295 was // and had decent
reception. My audio with Radio Sakha in the clear 0:00-02:00,
followed by QRM - https://goo.gl/dbWYA7 .

Re: RUSSIA : NBC Sakha - Yakutsk, 7295kHz, 7345kHz Ron Howard - May 13, 2016 19:38 UTC No.1354
Upon further reflection, after listening to more of my recordings
today and helpful input from Glenn and Wolfy, I can now say that
the station causing QRM for R. Sakha was clearly not CRI,
but was in fact Thazin Radio. My recording at 1235 had Thazin
Radio much stronger than R. Sakha and they played some
indigenous music that conformed to Myanmar music.

Thanks to Glenn and Wolfy for their kind assistance.

May 16, at 1224, found that a strong CNR1 has again returned
to 7345. Very bad news for R. Sakha (Russia) and R. Thazin
(Myanmar) also on frequency! CNR1 schedule: 1100-1805.
Heard a faint station underneath CNR1 today, but so weak
could not guess as to which station it was. CNR1 7345 //

https://goo.gl/gmwRZz at 1:23 you can hear the audio starting for CNR1,

Re: RUSSIA : NBC Sakha - Yakutsk, 7295kHz, 7345kHz Ron Howard - Sep 07, 2016 14:45 UTC No.1600
RUSSIA. 7295, R. Sakha, via Yakutsk, 1026-1101, Sept 6. Pop 
songs; 1051 usual "Radio Sakha" ID, along with ads; ToH Jew's
Harp IS and time pips; almost fair. 7295 the stronger transmitter,
with // 7345 much weaker.

5900, Radio Rossii, via presumed Vladivostok, *1000, Sept 6.
Transmitter suddenly on and audio quickly followed; strong OTH
radar (later off); news in Russian with sound bites; 1010 usual
"Radio Rossii" ID; traditional Russian song; their national network.

1103 news (no OTH radar); 1110 usual "Radio Rossii" ID; pop hit
song (sounded like a Prince song); their national network.

Radio Rossii Primorye: by 1250 good signal strength but had
intermittent crackling (assume their transmitter); 1257 not the
usual Radio Rossii ID, but instead the unique ID of "Radio
Rossii Primorye"; ToH time pips and usual "Radio Rossii" ID;
1300 into their national network.

So 1210 to 1300 is indeed local programming (not the national
network), which conforms nicely with Sei-ichi Hasegawa (Japan)
posting (thanks very much Sei-ichi):

"Radio Rossii Premor'e Local Px at 1210-1300UT on 5900kHz
via ???(Khabarovsk). As ID "V efire Radio Rossii Primor'e".
It seems to be a special service of the flood damage by typhoon
"Lionrock"."

My audio of ID through ToH today at http://goo.gl/UEOJFj .

Special thanks to Mauno Ritola for his Russian linguistic assistance
yesterday. I never would have made the connect from my hearing
"radio companion Vladivostok" to the actual correct ID of

Russian elections and Radio Rossii

Sept 18, elections held to vote in 450 seats of the
Russian lower chamber of the parliament and also
vote in many regional and municipal elections.

Full story: http://goo.gl/FcmcPf

"Special measures were also taken so elections could
be successfully held in the Russian Far East region of
Primorsky Krai [informally known as Primorye, with
administrative center at the city of Vladivostok - Ron],
which borders China. It was hit by severe flooding not
long before the elections and more than 20,000 people
were affected by the disaster. Ballots were delivered to the
settlements hit by the deluge by the Russian Emergency
Ministry (EMERCOM) in special vehicles along with
humanitarian aid."

Sept 17 & 18, during 1210-1300, was only hearing the
national network programs for "Radio Rossii" on 5900;
mostly music programs and many songs in English
(Queen with "Bohemian Rhapsody," etc.); many "Radio
Rossii" IDs. So no more local "Radio Rossii Primorye"
programs after Sept 15.

The situation has shown the folly of taking a decision

RTRS provided SW and SW broadcasting regions of Primorye,
which because of the typhoon was interrupted broadcasting
of television programs

09/19/2016
August 31, 2016 an emergency due to a typhoon was introduced
in the Primorsky Territory. According to the information of
the main emergency department in the Primorsky Territory, the
most affected by the typhoon settlements Kavalerovo,
Chuguevsky and Terneisky area.

Technological network RTRS in the Primorye Territory has
156 objects of digital terrestrial television. TV and
radio broadcasting coverage is more than 99% population
of the province. Automatic network monitoring system
allowed to respond quickly to emerging issues and to
monitor the effects of weather events on television
and radio broadcasting facilities. Key objects RTRS
ensure continuity of the broadcast media.

However, the power supply of a number of objects have
been interrupted as a result of the typhoon. Without
air television were 45 settlements or 33 thousand.
Residents (1.9% of the territory).

Less than a day RTRS branch "Seaside KRTPTS" reopen
powerful transmitters broadcasting, carried out
functional test engineering and technical systems.
From 18:00 (MSK) organized on September 2 broadcast
of the program "Radio of Russia" with inserts STRC
"Vladivostok" in the midrange. 03:00 (MSK) 3 September
began broadcasting in the HF band. MW and SW broadcasts
covered the entire territory of Primorsky Krai.

Information about this brought to the Emergency
Situations Ministry and the regional administration.

Works were carried out in close cooperation with
the Situation Centre Roskomnadzor.

To ensure power supply de-energized objects as
restore road communications branch RTRS mobilized
mobile diesel generator sets and emergency prevention
group. An additional measure was the transfer of
mobile complexes of the Khabarovsk Territory.

As of 4:00 am (MSK) 17th September 2016 the work
of all the objects RTRS network restored in full.
Broadcasting in MW and SW bands scheduled to continue
for another week.

on the air before their normal sign on time of 1000. At
1000 IS (Jew's harp) and 4 + 1 time pips; into the news.
Clearly this 7345 signal was via their much stronger

Primorsky branch RTRS restore the broadcasting of all objects

09/21/2016
RTRS Branch "Primorsk KRTPTS" restored full operation of all
facilities-air television and radio broadcast, affected by the
typhoon "Layonrok". Employees seaside RTRS branch in emergency
situations conducted repair work and checked the signal parameters.
All transmission means working in normal mode, broadcast quality
meets the legal standards. At the moment, there is still no road
connection with 10 communication objects, according to the
satellite-based monitoring system, their work is not compromised
and is being broadcast teleradiosignala.

In this regard, RTRS stopped broadcasting "Radio Russia" programs
on medium and short waves on the night of 22 to 23 of September.

We recall that on 31 August, after the devastation inflicted by
the typhoon and the introduction of emergency in the region, less
than a day RTRS reopen powerful transmitters broadcasting, carried
out functional test engineering and technical systems and began
to broadcast "Radio Russia" in HF and SW bands in Primorye Territory.

RUSSIA. Radio Rossii via Vladivostok. Has been
great fun recently to be able to again hear "Radio
Rossii" on SW and a first for me, to hear the local
programs of "Radio Rossii Primorye."

This came about due to two events: cyclone "Lionrock,・
which battered the Primorye region and the national/
regional elections. As the elections are over, it is no
surprise they are now closing down the MW and SW
operations, but maybe now people in government will
take notice that there is still a vital use for SW.

5900, Radio Rossii, on Sept 21 (1110-1124); "Radio
Rossii" ID at the end of the news; pops songs (The
Beatles with "While My Guitar Gently Weeps," etc.);
audio better and stronger than the last few days, but
still with audio hum.

Hiroyuki-san,

Years ago I often enjoyed listening to Radio Rossii - Kamchatka, from
0710+, with fairly good reception (per my 2013 audio http://goo.gl/E6duVA).

Jan 29 (Monday), at 0710+, I checked 5940, for possible reception, but
clearly not on the air at that time. In past years they were always not
broadcasting on Saturday or Sunday.

SA at 2100 ( http://radio.chobi.net/DX/bbs/img/2974.mp3 ) sounded like :

Камчатская радио продолжить свою работу в 13:10.
А сейчас слушаете Радио России.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pronunciation:

Thanks to Ron Howard !! Audio included a clear ID !!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RUSSIA. 5940, Radio Rossii Kamchatka, assume via the Yelizovo transmitter site on
the Kamchatka peninsula; 0240-0300*, Feb 14. Very poor reception, with QRM from what
sounded like IBRA Media, Radio Sadaye Zindagi, via Al Dhabayya; OM & YL chatting
(in Russian?); 0259 music. Positive "Radio Rossii" SAs before and after 0300 time pips,
so I presume this was "Radio Rossii Kamchatka," as it fits their former schedule. The
0300* cut off happened in mid-sentence.

Have been monitoring this due to recent reports of Kamchatka testing here, made by
Hiroyuki Komatsubara (Japan) and Dave Valko (USA). Thanks also for the assistance
of Mauno Ritola (Finland).

My poor quality audio - https://app.box.com/s/n580lz1wjuupa5sqj5xmn3uj6kv7ycgy

It is likely to be broadcast at the following times :

1900-1930 * unconfirmed
2010-2100 ** Confirmed in January 2018.
(2100-2200 ** relay of Radio Rossii, Confirmed in January 2018)
0110-0300 ** Confirmed in January 2018.
0910-1000 * unconfirmed

... Radio Rossii 's central station may broadcast the broadcast at other times than the above.
(for example : 2100-2200)

765 kHz Russian station. --- Amano - Feb 11, 2018 10:21 UTC No.3042
RUSSIA. 765, Russian station, 1100-1200*, on Feb 10.
I heard Russian at this frequency.
I thought it was Radio Vostok Rossii and waited for SA/ID.
I heard "Radio ???" after 1100.
I could not hear "Radio Vostok Rossii".

What did he actually say?
I uploaded the recording below.
He says "Radio ???" after 00:12.

Please tell me if you can hear it.

Re: Africa - Asia - Pacific DX log (13) Ron Howard - Oct 30, 2017 03:36 UTC No.2687
ANGOLA. 4949.74, R. Nacional de Angola, 0228-0405+, Oct 29.
Audio above threshold level, but heavy QRN (static). Highlights:

0228-0300: Pop songs.
0300-0302: Time pips; brief news headlines; several SAs.
0304-0400: Religious program; several segments of preaching,
but mostly non-stop religious songs. This on a Sunday.
0400: Time pips; news with several breaks for SAs.

AUSTRALIA. 5045, Ozy Radio, on Oct 29. As usual the "Waltzing
Matilda" (WM) modulation was stronger than the rest of the broadcast.
WM noted at 1130, 1230, 1259, 1305 & 1359. At 1300 time pips; YL
with news, with several sound bites, but unreadable; break during the
news to play WM. At times was close to being readable, but needs
somewhat better propagation for that.

BOUGAINVILLE. 3325, NBC Bougainville, Oct 29. Better than usual
due to no noticeable QRM from RRI Palangkaraya (just a carrier heard
after NBC went off); NBC cut off 1147*.

BTW - NBC Madang (3260) cut off at 1205*, on Oct 29, after what
sounded like religious songs (on a Sunday).

CHINA. 7260, CRI, in Japanese. Oct 29, with the start of the B17
schedule, Radio Vanuatu is now totally blocked 1100-1257 by this
powerhouse.

EQUATORIAL GUINEA. 5005, RNGE, R. Bata, with Oct 29 anomaly.
Definite carrier heard at 0415; checking on & off till 0531. Had a very
decent carrier the whole time and quiet conditions, but no audio detected.
This is the earliest I have ever heard their presumed signal.

Helpful feedback from Manuel M駭dez: "heard R Bata at 0459 UTC with
very very weak signal, songs and comments, barely audible." [Oct 29]

KOREA NORTH[non]. Shiokaze/Sea Breeze, via Yamata, on Oct 29,
found ex 6040 silent; no jamming and no Shiokaze; went looking for
them 1300+, but unable to find them. Where did they move to?

U S A. 4875-USB, Air Force MARS net, 1206+, Oct 29. This is a
Sunday only net at this time period; net managed by the usual AFF4FL
and he had good reception, while the others in the net only faintly heard.

ZANZIBAR. 6015, ZBC Radio, on Oct 29, during a few quick checks;
found they definitely lost the audio from time to time about 0345.




Re: Voice of Indonesia in Dutch Ron Howard - Oct 30, 2017 23:42 UTC No.2688
INDONESIA. 9524.94, VOI, on Oct 30, with anomaly. 1300-1400
no English, but instead in Dutch. Thanks very much to Wolfie, who
confirmed my audio clip is in fact Dutch. Today had pre-1300 with
the usual Japanese and post-1400 was the normal Indonesian. My
audio at http://goo.gl/YHiWPf . Reception much better than usual,
but with some audio hum.

Was this a one day anomaly or is it a real change to their language
schedule? What happened to their segment in English (ex: 13-14)?
Needs more monitoring!

Ron, listening at Asilomar State Beach, California

Re: Asia - Pacific DX log (13) Ron Howard - Oct 31, 2017 00:06 UTC No.2689

AUSTRALIA. 5045, Ozy Radio, 1200-1210, on Oct 30. News/sports;
getting closer to being semi-readable.

CHINA. 6155, CNR2, on Oct 30, at 1337. For many years China
Business Radio (CNR2) had sole possession of this frequency, but
no longer so. Today heard very strong QRM from UNID. Is it the
new schedule of AIR here? Needs more time spent here to ID the
UNID.

MYANMAR. 5985, Myanmar Radio, on Monday, Oct 30. This
weeks adventures of "Tom" found him at London airport looking for
parking at "terminal three," so he could pick up his "Aunt Jennifer,"
who was arriving from Sydney. The Monday and Wednesday saga
continues, hi. As usual, the "Say It In English" program was very
readable (1218-1231).

TIBET[non]. 6010, CNR-11 (Tibetan Service), via Baoji-Sifangshan,
1420, Oct 30. In Tibetan and // 7350, which was considerably stronger.
It was back in 2010 this service formerly carried the "Holy Tibet" show
in English. Wish they would bring it back again!


Re: Africa - Asia - Pacific DX log (13) Ron Howard - Oct 31, 2017 06:13 UTC No.2690
KOREA NORTH[non]. new 7410, Shiokaze/Sea Breeze, via Yamata.
On Oct 29 & 30 went looking for ex: 6040 (which was silent of both
Shiokaze and also the N. Korean jamming), at 1300+, but without any
success.

Hiroshi explains why - Shiokaze moved to 7410. This is the frequency
of the powerhouse CRI, so will be difficult to make out much, if anything,
from Shiokaze. A sad situation! They made the same mistake last year.
Hard to believe they did it again.

PHILIPPINES. new 17700, R. Pilipinas, ex:12010, at 0200, on Oct 31.
Choral anthem; time pip (about one minute late); SA; sound bites from
various past presidents; 0205 擢rom the presidential palace Manila,
Dateline Malacang,・info about the current activities of the government;
0220 "From the News Center of Radio Pilipinas. This is the PBS News":
// 15640 & 17820, with 17700 being the strongest. My audio at
http://goo.gl/6iQDoo .

ZANZIBAR. 6015, ZBC Radio, 0301-0307, Oct 31, with reciting
from the Qur'an (good audio); 0307+ animated monologue. No
problems noted through 0310. Re-checked at 0402 to also find
good audio, with the news; better than normal reception, but heavy
QRN (static).

Interesting that Bill Bingham (RSA) found ZBC today at a time when
they were still having problems, so very much still a hit-or-miss operation
on this frequency. Thanks to Bill for his continuing monitoring!

"6015 Zanzibar, ZBC Radio, Dole. Oct 31, 2017 Tuesday. 0315-0357.
Swahili, OM talking at 0315. Mentioned 纏anzibar・at 0316. Lost audio
at about 0330, still not back as of 0357. Fair while it lasted. Jo'burg

KOREA NORTH. new 3945, Echo of Unification, ex: 5905, at
1350, Nov 2. Hearing two stations here; in past was only "RN2,
Radio Nikkei" (Japan) here; now QRMed by weaker EOU till RN2
signed off at 1401*, leaving EOU in the clear, but fairly weak signal;
in Korean; broadcasting from DPRK to ROK. The EOU website,

Thanks very much to Hiroyuki Komatsubara (Japan) for the timely
alert. He heard them first on Nov 1.

KOREA NORTH[non]. new 7295, via Taiwan. Thanks very much
to Ralph Perry, who at 1300+, on Oct 31, was hearing a new UNID

pop songs; several SAs. My audio at http://goo.gl/gPp8mZ .

ETHIOPIA. 6090, Amhara State Radio, 0250, Nov 3. Caribbean
Beacon, via Anguilla off the air. More strange happenings with the
interval signals here, as I have recently been reporting on. Today
tuned in to hear a decent level carrier; 0252 clearly the start of the
Radio Oromiya IS; at 0256 heard the start of the Amhara State
Radio IS, which was weak and mixing well underneath the Radio
Oromiya IS, which ended at 0259, leaving the Amhara State Radio
IS in the clear till 0300.

Certainly something strange is happening either at the studio or transmitter
site. See Glenn's insightful comments in DXLD 17-41. My audio of one
minute of Radio Oromiya IS in the clear and then Amhara State Radio IS
in the clear, at http://goo.gl/R6CUyX .

ZANZIBAR. 6015, ZBC Radio, 0302-0330, Nov 3. Today noted no problem
with the audio or transmitter; usual format (reciting from the Qur'an, etc.);
better than usual reception. Jim Young was also listening at the same time
and noted reception was "extremely strong" in Southern Calif.

AUSTRALIA. 5045, Ozy Radio, on Nov 13, heard with
the strongest signal ever noted here, but unfortunately on
a day when there was very heavy OTH radar; 1133 & 1255.
Without the OTH radar, believe the news would have been
fairly readable, as the Ozy signal was that strong.

CHINA. 6035, PBS Yunnan (Voice of Shangri-la), 1130,
Nov 13. Nice English & Chinese SA - "S W liu(6) ling(0)
san(3) wu(5). Yunnan Radio and Television International,
the Voice Shangri-la"; 1201*. No BBS/Bhutan here today.

KOREA SOUTH. 4885, Echo of Hope - VOH. On Nov 13,
again found their programming out of sync from the normal
timing, for this one hour program that is repeated every hour;
instead of the usual bell/gong being rung slowly three times
at 1203, today was at 1210; OTH radar QRM (not N. Korea
jamming!).

5920, Voice of Freedom. On Nov 13, at 1203, almost fair,
even with the usual light North Korea jamming.

MYANMAR. 5985, Myanmar Radio, 1212-1225, Nov 13.
English language lesson program "Say It In English" starts
and ends with same theme music; today Tom's Aunt Jennifer
and Kate go to the cinema to see "Monsters From Outer
Space"; Aunt Jennifer takes the wrong bus and calls Tom to
come and pick her up; the Monday and Wednesday tales
continue and are fairly readable.

Nov 17. Finally heard the program SA in English, after
looking for it for many weeks; 鏑adies and gentlemen,

Very pleased to find they still use this SA.

minority languages service), via Dac Lac, 1241+, Nov 18.
Non-stop repetitive indigenous chanting; in vernacular.

Reception stronger than normal.

Dac Lac province is located in the Central Highlands and
has many indigenous people there who are not ethnically
Vietnamese.

So it would seem that NBC Bougainville has for a long
time now discontinued the use of this frequency. I last
heard them here at 0642*, back on June 3, 2016. Don't
recall seeing any reported receptions of NBC after June,
2016, on 6020?

KOREA SOUTH. 5857.5-USB. For a long time
now I have checked here almost daily and always
hear HLL2 Seoul, with the weather in different
languages. Significant anomaly on Nov 22, with
what seemed to be a mix up of an audio feed?

1241-1300: Weak audio feed of OM & YL alternately
reading numbers (not the usual HLL2 Seoul weather
audio feed).

1300: In addition to the audio feed of numbers, the
start of the normal weather info given in Korean by
HLL2 Seoul, which was much stronger that the reading
of the numbers.

Checked 1308-1330 to hear only a carrier (dead air) with
no audio feed at all; normally should have had a segment
of weather (HLL2 Seoul).

Due to this unique frequency and subsequent dead air (no
audio at all), can I safely assume the numbers audio feed
was in fact transmitted via HLL2 Seoul?

Weak audio of numbers being read, at http://goo.gl/pY4JTY .

they signing off earlier than before, when they went off about 1200,
or are they completely off the air?

Also on Dec 3, RRI Palangkaraya (3325) was silent for a second day
in a row; 1139-1420. No signal at all on 3325.

U S A. 4875-USB, Air Force MARS net, 1320, Dec 3. The regular
Sunday only net; managed by the usual AFF4FL, with a lot of traffic;
fair.

BOUGAINVILLE. 3325, NBC Bougainville. How ironic! Yesterday I 
questioned their recent absence and today (Dec 4) they are back
on the air again; 1140-1158*; DJ in Pidgin playing pop Pacific Islands
songs; suddenly cut off. They picked the perfect time to start up again,
as RRI Palangkaraya continues to be off the air here (third consecutive
day!), so no QRM. Frequency totally clear post-1158.

At 1159, checked for NBC Madang (3260), but they were already off
the air.

BANGLADESH. 4750, Bangladesh Betar - HS, 1235-1243,
Dec 4. The Monday only SAARC (The South Asian Association
for Regional Cooperation) news bulletin in English; almost readable,
but QRM from CODAR and CNR1 were just a little bit too strong.

CHINA. 9410, CNR5, 1207, Dec 4. In Chinese and // 5925. Recent
log in WRTH Facebook - "Fu Hsing BS in Chinese from Kuanyin
transmitters, with a weak signal with frequent fading in and out heard
at 12:04," is highly suspect; Hiroyuki-san was also listening today to
CNR5. Here in California, Fu Hsing BS (Taiwan) is impossible to hear
on 9410, due to this strong CNR5. The Fu Hsing BS frequency of 9774
has been silent for a long time now, as I still check it almost daily during
my monitoring.

KOREA NORTH[non]. 6085, Shiokaze/Sea Breeze, via Yamata,
continues to be free of any N. Korea jamming, which is still up on
ex: 7410; Dec 4 at 1321.

KOREA SOUTH. 4885, Echo of Hope - VOH. On Dec 4, at 1303,
programming back in sync with bell/gong being rung slowly three
times; yesterday was out-of-sync. As usual this frequency is never
jammed by N. Korea; good reception.

MYANMAR. 5985, Myanmar Radio, 1218-1232, Dec 4. Monday edition
of "Say It In English"; "Mr. Harris," Tom's boss, talks to him about being
late for work (he overslept) and wants Tom to go on a business trip to
Geneva, Switzerland; fairly readable.

Thanks very much to an early alert by Hiroyuki Komatsubara,

by North Korea, which was still jamming ex: 5920; very good

AUSTRALIA. 5045, Ozy Radio, 1225-1310, Dec 6. Mostly
pop songs ("All Out of Love," by the Australian duo Air Supply,
etc.), except for news 1231-1241 & 1300-1305, both with many
reports from out-of-the-studio/sound bites (not readable); at 1305
the usual format of first a commercial announcement for radio
receivers ("range of shortwave, AM ..... radios"), followed by
"Waltzing Matilda," followed by full SA.

CANADA. 6030, Calgary - CFVP relaying CKMX (AM 1060), 1346,
Dec 6. Their 100 watts doing well against 100kW of CNR1; SA "Funny
10-60 AM" and mentions of "Calgary."

CHINA. 5050, Beibu Bay Radio, 1326, Dec 6. Noticeably distorted audio.

PAPUA NEW GUINEA. 3260, NBC Madang, 1204-1213*, Dec 6. News
in English, followed by the audio feed of "NBC Radio" in English; suddenly
off; poor; running somewhat past their normal sign off time.

SOMALILAND. 7120, R. Hargeisa. Thanks to recent reports by Glenn
and Dave Valko, of this having better than normal audio levels, tuned in
at 1331 and yes, definitely in English; 1336 Leo Sayer's pop song "More

SAs; later playing HOA music; 1359 usual marching band National Anthem
till 1401*; poor; CW QRM. My audio http://goo.gl/eAgk3L . Rare for me to
hear them above threshold level for the English segment (1320-1340).

ran a promo; longer than normal news segment; 1238-1239 ending
the news relay with the usual patriotic song 釘agimu Negeri・(For
You Our Country), followed by RRI jingle; poor.

Nice to have them back again! Several days ago I emailed the station
that I missed hearing them on SW and hoped they would return again
shortly. Today will write a follow up, thanking them for broadcasting

audio clip at http://goo.gl/Z8hr63 .

Thanks very much to Dave Valko for solving the identity of my UNID
that is now sadly causing QRM for Zanizibar from 0300 to 0345.
Email from Dave (Dec 13):

"I just downloaded Fergys lastest combined SW Skeds database posted
yesterday and CNR is listed on 6015 from 0000-0345 in Kazakh. In
HFCC. So that has to be it. Too bad it isn't anything more exotic. Yep,

ZANZIBAR. 6015, ZBC Radio, Dec 12, come on about 0300. At 0302

Leonardo's Bride, with "Even When I'm Sleeping," the band originally
from New Zealand who moved to Australia, Split Enz, with "I Hope I

segments (at 1204, 1239 & 1303 sound bites of Roy Moore, who lost
the Alabama election, saying "we also know that God is always in

MYANMAR. 5985, Myanmar Radio, 1530-1559, Dec 15, Friday. In
English with the news (Myanmar's President meeting with Japanese
Prime Minister, in Japan, etc.) and the weather.

It was back in Dec 2014, at 1540, that I first heard Myanmar broadcasting
NKH's production of "Friends Around the World." Have enjoyed many such
programs over the years. Therefore was surprised this Friday, at 1540, to
hear instead the "Friday evening music program" with music from different
cultures (songs from Argentina) till 1553; then "Panoramic Myanmar" about
an ancient city; at 1559 covered by strong CRI sign on.

Was this just an anomaly or a permanent schedule change? Need to check
again next week.

5985, Myanmar Radio, 1242-1250, Dec 13, Wednesday. Another English
language lesson "Say It In English"; Tom's Aunt Jennifer had a water leak
in her flat.

TIBET. 4905 // 6200, Xizang PBS via Lhasa, 1600, Dec 15. The 滴oly
Tibet・program in English; "China Tibet Broadcasting"; news of Tibetan
manufacturing developments and cultural projects, etc.; fair-poor. "Holy
Tibet" scheduled 1600-1700.

Re: Monitoring Indonesia Ron Howard - Dec 17, 2017 15:28 UTC No.2857
INDONESIA. Atsunori Ishida's website (http://rri.jpn.org/) has
today (Dec 17) posted the following:

"This site will not be updated after December 31, 2017."

So he will no longer be doing his daily monitoring and posting
his results there. Would seem logical that his decision to do so
is due to the current lack of stations to report on.

At his site, note "Previous Results" that he started back in March
2010, a time that had a good number of stations to keep track of,
very much unlike the present situation today.

Certainly I will miss the excellent info that he has provided over the
years. A job very well done!

BOUGAINVILLE. 3325, NBC Bougainville, 1025, Dec 17. Tuned
in to hear "The Twelve Days of Christmas"; 1036-1113, with Sunday
religious programs (preaching & songs); light RRI Palangkaraya
QRM; 1144-1157* pop songs and Xmas song "We Wish You a Merry

BBS/Bhutan, at that time, but about 1015 BBS heard mixing with PBS,

INDIA. 4970, AIR Shillong, 1238, Dec 17. Usual Sunday "Country
Roads" C&W music show with DJ in English; songs "Jolene" (Dolly
Parton), "Elusive Butterfly" (Bob Lind), Xmas song "I'll Be Home for
Christmas," etc.; DJ with modulation at a very low level, whereas the
music level was good; 1315 into Hindi.

It will be recalled that the northeastern Indian state of Meghalaya (means
"The Abode of Clouds") has a population of about 75% Christians, while
the capital city of Shillong (known as the "Scotland of the East"), has
close to 50% of the population being Christian. So Christmas is widely
celebrated. Today 1342-1358 with non-stop Xmas songs; "Winter
Wonderland," "Joy to the World," "The First Noel," "Jingle Bells," etc.

BOUGAINVILLE. 3325, NBC Bougainville, 1114-1202*, Dec 19.
Better than the usual reception; various music; Pacific Islands songs,
The Rolling Stones "Brown Sugar," Xmas songs - "Deck the Hall,"
"We Wish You a Merry Christmas," "O Little Town Of Bethlehem,"
etc.; 1201 usual bird call and into the NBC news in English; suddenly
cut off. Unable to hear any RRI QRM.

INDIA. 5050, AIR Aizawl [non-log], checking here on Dec 18, after
Beibu Bay Radio signed off (1602*), to see if I could hear any carrier
at all from AIR, but the frequency was completely clear of any station;
AIR has been off the air here for a long time now.

Still off frequency 7555.62v, AIR via Delhi-Kingsway, 1211, Dec 19.
Daily I find them on a slightly different frequency; decent level carrier,

about today being International Migrants Day; mostly fair.

SOLOMON ISLANDS. 5020, SIBC (presumed), 1205 and random

AUSTRALIA. 5045, Ozy Radio, 1225-1243, Dec 21. Mostly
pop songs, except for news 1231-1236, which had several sound
bites; very close to being readable.

5055, Radio 4KZ, 1433-1505, Dec 21. Much better reception than
yesterday; same format as yesterday; 1500 news (mentioned
"bomb threat"?); getting closer to being semi-readable, but still with
some SSB chatter in Spanish which blocks 4KZ reception. My best
reception here seems to start about 45 minutes before my local
sunrise and slowly improves a little.

BOUGAINVILLE. 3325, NBC Bougainville, 1120-1202, Dec 21. DJ in
Pidgin playing pop Pacific Islands music and Xmas song - "Joy to the
World"; 1157, as usually happens at this time, a full ID and frequencies
given; audio ended 1202.

Anomaly today. Normally the transmitter would have gone off at 1202,
but today their carrier continued on past 1335. First time I have noted
this happening. Maybe they will be doing some holiday extended
broadcasts? (see Solomon Islands).

PAPUA NEW GUINEA. 3260, NBC Madang, 1206*, Dec 21. Cut off
just after the NBC news in English; poor.

SIKKIM. new 4836.0, AIR Gangtok, ex: 4835.0, at 1329 & 1510, Dec 21.
Only hearing a carrier, but nothing on their former ex 4835.0, so presume
it was them.

SOLOMON ISLANDS. 5020, probably Wantok FM relay, during this
extended broadcast on Dec 21, at 1208+; pop hit songs and Xmas song
"The First Noel"; didn't stay on too long, as gone by a check at 1220.
Would like to think that maybe they will do more and longer extended
holiday broadcasting? We will see! Also note Bougainville.

Merry Little Christmas," followed by SA of song and phone number
"if you like to join the conversation." My audio http://goo.gl/kQutXV .
Finally able to pull in some audio good enough to record, even though
it's poor quality!

MYANMAR. 5985, Myanmar Radio. Last Friday, noted the absence
of the usual NKH production of "Friends Around the World" at 1540.
Instead Myanmar carried their "Friday evening music program."

Dec 22 (Friday), checked again at 1540 and again found "Friday evening
music program." So after many years of running the NHK program, they
have decided to drop it from their schedule at this time?

PAPUA NEW GUINEA. 3260, NBC Madang, 1201*, Dec 22. Cut off
before they made it into the NBC news.

BTW - Dec 22, had no signal from NBC Bougainville (3325) from 1135+.

SIKKIM. 4835.0, AIR Gangtok. Dec 22, back on frequency again, after their
one day anomaly yesterday.

- - - - - - - Ron posted to DXLD yg:

** BOUGAINVILLE. 3325, NBC Bougainville, 1057-1200*, June 24.
In Pidgin; segments of pop Pacific Islands music and talking; 1146
montage of pop songs along with "NBC Bougainville" [SA]ID; mentioned
"Saturday night" and just gave 95.5 FM frequency; 1155 another
montage of pop songs and another "NBC Bougainville" [SA]ID, but this
time with "3325 kilohertz, 90 meter band, shortwave one"; cut off at
1200*; poor.

BTW - After 1200, no trace of Pro 1 RRI Palangkaraya, which conforms
to Atsunori Ishida's website (http://rri.jpn.org/); so RRI last heard on
3325 was on June 16. Now am only hearing Indonesia via SW from
RRI Ternate (open carrier) and VOI (poor). A sad state of affairs! (Ron
Howard, oceanside at Pacific Grove, CA, Et E1, antenna: 100' long
wire, dxldyg via DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. 5037-USB, VC01 (Chinese Military numbers station), 1214 &
1240, June 24. Numbers in Chinese; poor. Thanks to info at Hiroyuki
Komatsubara's website, "Now On The Radio" (http://radio.chobi.net/DX/)
(Ron Howard, oceanside at Pacific Grove, CA, Et E1, antenna: 100' long
wire, dxldyg via DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KOREA SOUTH. On June 24:

Echo of Hope - VOH, at 1011 and subsequent checking till 1055:

5995, 6250, 6350, and 9100 were all in //.

VOH on 4885 clearly had different programming from the other
frequencies; was not a matter of being somewhat out of syn, but
had completely different programs; at 1055 confirmed 4885 was
still VOH, with a series of the usual "V O H" [SA]IDs. This conforms
to excellent info at Hiroyuki Komatsubara's website, "Now On The
Radio" (http://radio.chobi.net/DX/).

Voice of Freedom, now back on former 5920 (ex 5940), with strong
N. Korean jamming; 1005 and subsequent checking through 1252.
This also conforms to info at Hiroyuki Komatsubara's website,
which I find to be an excellent source for up-to-date info about
Asian SW activity (Ron Howard, oceanside at Pacific Grove, CA,
Et E1, antenna: 100' long wire, dxldyg via DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PAPUA NEW GUINEA. 3260, NBC Madang, 1201-1206*, June 24
(Saturday). As it's the weekend, no news at ToH; pop songs; suddenly
off the air; poor.

3365, NBC Milne Bay, on June 24, at 1207 & 1217, was only hearing a
decent level open carrier with no audio; unusual for them to keep the
transmitter on after they end their audio (Ron Howard, oceanside at
Pacific Grove, CA, Et E1, antenna: 100' long wire, dxldyg via DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** SOLOMON ISLANDS. 5020, Wantok FM relay via SIBC, 1227, June 24.
Extended broadcast, as Glenn also noted today; pop songs (Whitney
Houston - "I Will Always Love You," etc.); still on at 1242, but gone by
1255. My local sunrise was at 1250 UT (Ron Howard, oceanside at

BANGLADESH. 4750, Bangladesh Betar - HS, 1235-1243,
June 26. The Monday only SAARC (The South Asian Association
for Regional Cooperation) news bulletin in English, starting with
鄭ssalamu alaikum. This is Bangladesh Betar・ clearly in English,
but not very readable due to usual CODAR and CNR1 QRM.

BOUGAINVILLE. 3325, NBC Bougainville, 1203*, on June 26.
June 27, no trace off them; certainly off the air today. Palangkaraya
continues to be silent here, so June 27 a totally clear frequency.

MYANMAR. 5985, Myanmar Radio. On June 26 (Monday), tuned
in at 1220 to heard an English language lesson, as well as in Burmese;
ended at 1229; some of the English heard - "Can you show me how
the machine works?", "No, no. Not like that", "Put money in, then dial
the number", "Could you please slow down?", "How do you play that?",
"How to slow down?", "How do you use the phone?", "Easy to drive",
"Where are you going to park it?", "Press the accelerator gently", "We
are going to hit that car", etc.; unable to ID brief program name, but
almost positive was not a Radio Australia production (in the past, RA
produced the English segments for Mon. & Wed.) Suspect this show
will be rebroadcast again on Wednesday?

VANUATU. 7259.96, R. Vanuatu, June 26. Poor with QRN (static);
0554-0608 interview in vernacular (no break at ToH); Pacific Islands
songs; 0629-0637 segment with intro and exit of drums; clear SA/ID
for "Radio Vanuatu."

BTW - As a point of interest, it should be noted that the President of
Vanuatu suddenly died on June 17. The electoral college will select
a new president on July 3, so assume there will be many segments on
SW about this activity.

ZANZIBAR. 6015, ZBC Radio, on June 26, with sports coverage;
preempted regular programs; tuned in at 0347; probably the COSAFA
Castle Cup game between Tanzania & Malawi, held in RSA. No drums
as usual at 0359, but at 0401 time pips and sounded like the start of a
second audio feed with the news, mixing with the sports coverage audio.
Poor reception, so hard to be positive as to just what was happening. ZBC
was silent on June 25.

Thanks to Chris Kadlec, an expert on matters relating to Korea, who 
posted the following to WRTH Facebook page, in response to my
posting there today. Helpful info!

"Ron, I basically posted this same news yesterday on this same page,
[I missed seeing his posting - Ron] minus the translations which I am
too busy to bother with honestly, though I have the full recording of
the 60-minute broadcast that is being looped as of a few days ago
(thanks for the more detailed post!).

4885 has gone rogue and is looping each hour with IDs about every
10 minutes. Just a correction on the Radio Free Korea mention:
RFK is a different station, AM 1143. However, of course, they're
basically all run by the same people at the NIS [National Intelligence
Service, the chief intelligence agency of South Korea - Ron] from the
same tower sites (which I've also posted photos of some times in the
past). This would be the equivalent of "stunting" I think. They're messing
around with their frequencies and programming and North Korea is doing
the same right now too. So who knows what they're up to with an RFK
[SA]ID in there...!!"

Re: Bhutan - BBS Ron Howard - Jul 01, 2017 15:30 UTC No.2385
BHUTAN. 6035, BBS, tuned in at 1330 till off just after 1400, on
July 1. Nowadays I do not often listen at this time period, so cannot
say if this was an anomaly extended broadcast or a new schedule,
but certainly was a pleasant surprise; poor reception. 1330-1354
with call-in program in vernacular; callers singing indigenous songs;
as it was via the phone, of course no accompanying music, just solo
singing; adults calling in, except for one rather young girl (please
listen to my audio) who also sang a song; 1354 end of program
and went to their unique indigenous music and singing till 1400.

Re: Asia - Pacific DX log (11) Ron Howard - Jul 04, 2017 04:01 UTC No.2387
BHUTAN[non-log]. 6035, BBS. Regarding my July 1 reception
till just after 1400: July 2 & 3 found no BBS, after starting to check
at 1230. So my reception would seem to have been a one day only
anomaly?

BOUGAINVILLE. 3325, NBC Bougainville.

June 28, cut off at 1159*.

June 29, not broadcasting today; clearly off the air.

June 30, at 1154 pop song by Police - "Every Little Thing She
Does Is Magic"; 1200* suddenly off.

July 1, station jingle and SA/ID, then cut off at 1201*.

July 2 (Sunday), 1013-1206* mostly religious (Christian) songs in
English; DJ in Pidgin; PSAs in English regarding general election.

July 3, at 1201, SA/ID for "NBC Bougainville"; instrumental tune "My
Heart Will Go On"; PNG bird call and into the "NBC News in brief"
with sound bites; cut off at 1203*.

BTW - Through July 3, RRI Palangkaraya remains off the air on 3325.

KOREA SOUTH. 4885, Echo of Hope VOH. Regarding my recent
reporting of the "Radio Free Korea" SA/ID here: thanks to Amano-san for
explaining what I actually heard. The program's name that is looped
every hour is called "Radio Broadcasting Guide." As such it provides
a lot of info about Korean stations, with segments with many different
singing jingle IDs, as well as clips of different stations spoken SA/IDs, which
is what I heard with "Radio Free Korea." Recently at 1123 & 1223, am
hearing "V O A World News" SA/IDs in English, whereas most of the
program is in Korean. Thanks again to Amano-san for his helpful
assistance.

MYANMAR. 5985, Myanmar Radio. Last June 26 (Monday) from 1220
to 1229, heard an English language lesson. Checked on Monday, July 3,
from 1215 to 1245, but no English heard. The 26th was an anomaly?

PAPUA NEW GUINEA. Thanks to Timm Breyel (Malaysia) for posting
to WRTH Facebook page an official announcement from NBC (June 29),
titled "NBC increases coverage for the 2017 general election." NBC has
reactivated three medium wave transmitters. They are at Vanimo (Sandaun
Province), Lae (Morobe Province) and Kimbe (West New Britain Province),
all done with the help of aid from the Australian government. "He [NBC
Managing Director, Mr. Kora Nou] said people should have a clear radio
service on the 'AM' band" and also "He said NBC is continuing to examine
all its transmitters nationwide to see if it can also increase FM radio and TV
coverage elsewhere in the country."

Sad to say the announcement never once mentioned SW radio.

On July 5 (Wednesday), at 1236, on 5985, tuned into an 
English language lesson ("Say It In English") already in
progress; continuing dialog about Tom's aunt learning to
drive and having an accident ("If only she has listened
to me . . . If only she had been more careful . . . If only
she had stopped in time," etc.); also in Burmese; closing
program SA/ID in English at 1247. My local sunrise was at
1253 UT, whereas Yangon sunset was at 1212 UT.

So clearly the "Say It In English" lesson is broadcast on
both Monday & Wednesday here, but the exact timing of
which is not known.

BOUGAINVILLE. 3325, NBC Bougainville, 1122-1201*, 
July 5. Usual format of playing pop songs (Journey -
"Don't Stop Believing," etc.), but with anomaly of no DJ
today; just a minute of dead air between songs; 1200 SA/ID;
PNG bird call and start of NBC News till cut off.

CHINA. 6035, PBS Yunnan, 1204-1210*, July 5. Non-stop
EZL music till suddenly cut off; BBS/Bhutan not on the air.

INDONESIA. 9525.95, VOI, on July 7, at 1033 through
subsequent checking till 1207, found only open carrier; no
modulation/audio at all.

KOREA SOUTH. 5920, Voice of Freedom, 1115, July 5.
Why do they stay on this jammed frequency, when their
ex 5940 is clear of any jamming? VOF signal often does
fairly well against the jamming, e.g. July 7, at 1120 almost
fair reception even with jamming. Ex 6135 is still jammed
with white noise.

RUSSIA. 7345, Radio Sakha, via Yakutsk, 1037, July 7.
Sounds of a large crowd; sounded like some interviews at
the event; strongly suspect this was coverage of Yakutsk's
Guinness World Records event with 16,620 people wearing
traditional Yakut clothing - http://goo.gl/xspMww .

BOUGAINVILLE. 3325, NBC Bougainville, on July 9,
Sunday, with a second consecutive day of very decent,
above average reception.

1028-1125: Election coverage via "NBC National Radio"
audio feed, in English; many different reports giving the
vote count; "Stay with us for more election 2017 coverage,"
ad for mobile phone service, "Welcome back to election
2017 coverage"; promos and PSA about "building a great
nation" and for "NBC TV"; "NBC National Radio updates";
"NBC official broadcaster of the 2017 election."

1125-1201*: Local "NBC Bougainville" ID and into the usual
Sunday program of religious (Christian) songs mostly in
English; DJ in Pidgin; suddenly cut off.

A point of interest - PNG during this election has over 3,300
candidates running for office!

KOREA SOUTH. 4885. Echo of Hope VOH, on July 9
with anomaly of only hearing a strong open carrier the
whole time; no modulation at all; starting at tune in of
1054 through last check at 1230.

It will be recalled that 4885 has recently been running a
different program ("Radio Broadcasting Guide") than all
the other VOH frequencies (3985 // 5995 // 6250 // 6350
// 9100), which today were all on as usual with normal
audio at quick checks at 1131 & 1218.

5920, Voice of Freedom, July 9, brief check at 1135, found
them somewhat stronger than the jamming; propagation
must be currently favoring VOF, rather than N. Korea
jamming.

PAPUA NEW GUINEA. 3260, NBC Madang, noted after
Bougainville signed off on July 9; at 1205 giving vote count;
promo for NBC National Radio; pop song till suddenly cut off
at 1211*.

BOUGAINVILLE. 3325, NBC Bougainville, on July 11,
with special extended broadcast.

1028-1203: Continuing special election coverage; same
format as I reported July 9, with many different reports
giving election results; some breaks for ads, promos and
PSAs.

Extended broadcast 1203-1320+:

1203-1208: NBC News in English.

1208-1230: DJ in Pidgin, playing pop Pacific Islands songs.

1230-1245: "NBC Bougainville update," in Pidgin, with long
list of the voting results.

1245-1320+: more Pacific Islands songs.

July 10, noted 1201* cut off, so today was the first day of
their extended broadcasting.

My local sunrise was at 1257 UT. Wonderful to hear this NBC
station without any Indonesian (RRI Palangkaraya) QRM, as
they remain absent here,

day of extended broadcasting well past the normal 1200*
cut off. Today with completely different format than heard
on July 9 and 11; didn't carry the "NBC National Radio"
audio feed in English; instead had local segments of
non-stop music (John Denver - "Take Me Home, Country
Roads," etc.) and segments with the election results in
Pidgin; a number of local SA/IDs.

CHINA. 7118-USB, VC01 (Chinese Military numbers station),

now be in the ham band! Thanks to tip from Hiroyuki

thought we would see the day that this country only had
one active SW station? Yes, now RRI Ternate (3344.86)
has been silent for several days. As I have been reporting
recently, RRI Palangkaraya (3325) has been absent and
still so through July 12.

VOI heard July 12, at 1001, with news in English; QRM from

July 13, at 1117, heard NBC Bougainville reception, on 3325, with moderate QRM from RRI, which 
had been silent for a while. By 1150, mixing together at equal strength, producing a mess here.

Today NBC with DJ in Pidgin; playing pop songs; no election coverage noted and not running the
NBC National Radio audio feed; RRI signal improving the whole time. Suppose I should be glad
to hear the return of RRI, but in truth, I had very much been enjoying NBC with clear reception!

NBC at 1200 continued on with extended broadcast; no NBC news, just continuing DJ in Pidgin
and pop songs, while RRI went into the usual Jakarta news feed, which ended at 1225 with
patriotic song and then local SA/ID. Tuned out at 1235.

frequency. No BBS/Bhutan heard today.

6060, Sichuan PBS-2, 1214, July 14. A quick check today

July 15. Local (non-NBC National Radio) segments with
the vote count in Pidgin and pop songs (Celine Dion -

repeating with individual digits (e.g. 816, then 8 1 6); poor.
Madang come back on the air later, as Hiroyuki Komatsubara

due to some type of transmitter problem today?

3275, NBC Southern Highlands, at 0951, 1026 & 1042, on

was them; off the air by 1050; never any audio.

3365, NBC Milne Bay[non-log]. July 16, continues silent.

PERU. 4810, Radio Logos, 1113, July 16. Unusually good
signal, with religious songs. Rare for me to hear them at this
level! My audio at http://goo.gl/ZZncpr . Also heard at the
same time in Japan by DFS - http://goo.gl/K5eUqR .

TIBET. PBS Xizang. July 16, back on the air again after
being silent for several months. Heard 4920 in Tibetan,
causing severe QRM for AIR Chennai at 1209; also heard
// 6200, at the same time, which was in the clear before the
sign on of Voice of Jinling (China), which happens about
*1230, but fortunately VOJ is much stronger than Tibet,
so very light Tibet QRM after 1230.

Maybe the others are also back today? Needs confirmation!

Chinese : 4820, 5935, 6050, 7240, 7450 kHz.
Tibetan : 4905, 6025, 6110, 6130, 7255, 7385 kHz.

BOUGAINVILLE. 3325, NBC Bougainville, July 17, with
outstanding reception; 1012-1028*; in Pidgin; "regional"
voting results for "North Bougainville," with long list of
candidates and their vote count (one received 18 votes);
"total number of allowable ballot papers," etc.; fairly
readable; suddenly off, leaving a very weak RRI
Palangkaraya in the clear, with reciting from the Qur'an.

*1034 suddenly back on with music program of pop Pacific
Islands songs; still on the air at my last check at 1220. My
readable audio at http://goo.gl/C8kj14 .

KOREA SOUTH. On July 17:

Echo of Hope - VOH, at 1138:

3985 // 5995 // 6250 // 6350, but found 9100 clearly off the air
which is rare for them to be silent; leaving frequency clear for
faint SOH (Taiwan) reception, which is normally heard far
underneath VOH.

At the same time, VOH on 4885, as usual, with program
"Radio Broadcasting Guide," in Korean and not // to the
other frequencies.

Voice of Freedom, first day back on former 6135 (ex 5920),
at 1144. Both 6135 and ex 5920 both heavily jammed, while
former ex 5940 remains a clear frequency. I again wonder
why they don't go back to clear 5940?

PAPUA NEW GUINEA. 3260, NBC Madang, July 17, with
well above the normal reception; 1043 pop Pacific Islands
song; 1047, in Pidgin with election results; still on at 1220.

3275, NBC Southern Highlands, on July 17, with another day
of just hearing an open carrier; still heard at last check of 1220.

RUSSIA. reactivated 7295, Radio Sakha, via Yakutsk,
1022-1104, July 18. Phone conversation; EZL music;
1051 usual "Radio Sakha" SA/ID; recently noticed they no
longer run a series of commercial announcements after
the ID as they did in the past; best reception in LSB to
get away from moderate QRM from 7300. Several times
stronger than // 7345, which was much weaker than usual;
1100 IS (Jew's harp - khomus) and 4+1 time pips.

At *1101, CRI (7345) signed on and blocked the weak R.
Sakha reception; certainly after 1101, no question that
7295 is the best frequency for me to hear them on. I last
heard them here on Feb 26, so very nice to again hear
this former frequency active again!

BOUGAINVILLE. 3325, NBC Bougainville, still on at
1245+, July 19. Usual local programming in Pidgin;
election results and mostly pop songs with DJ.

The significance of today's broadcast is that there was no
trace of any RRI Palangkaraya signal; no carrier at any
time. A short lived reactivation?

CHINA. 7118-USB, VC01 (Chinese Military numbers
station), 1134, July 19, with "ham jam," which is a ham
in CW jamming the Chinese numbers station. My audio
at http://goo.gl/At9G2L . Feedback from Lou (VK5EEE)
in Australia: "A pity when hams don't do this with their
call signs to be legal. Sending a test VVV is perfectly
legal so long as ID is given at required minimum periods.
It can encourage additional 'ham jammers' to test their
equipment, but a solitary VVV without callsign is likely
to end up being solitary and ineffective. CW QRM
especially Contest QRM sends our Indonesian pirates
off the 40m band, so it can be effective!"

MYANMAR. 5985, Myanmar Radio, at 1205, on July 19.
Special coverage of Myanmar vs Singapore soccer match;
in vernacular; usual background sounds for such an event
(crowd cheering, loudspeaker, etc.); preempted regular
programming; at half-time break, played indigenous music
till resuming coverage again.

BHUTAN. 6035, BBS, 1210-1223*, July 22. Announcer in vernacular;
usual short break for their unique indigenous instrumental music at 1215;
suddenly off; PBS Yunnan already off. BBS is not often heard.

BOUGAINVILLE. This Sunday (July 23), listening mostly from 1042 to
1325+. All local programming in Pidgin; frequent SA/IDs for "NBC
Bougainville"; music program (some Sunday religious songs, pop Pacific
Islands music and C&W songs [Dolly Parton & Kenny Rogers - "Islands
In The Stream," etc.]); no election results today, but several mentions of
"regional seats"; yet another day with an extended broadcast past their
former 1200*. For a while (1042 to about 1130) did have some RRI
Palangkaraya light QRM underneath, but NBC was much stronger and
their signal improved to almost fair at times.

My report on July 19, for 1245+, with "no trace of any RRI Palangkaraya
signal" is now explained by Atsunori Ishida, who lists RRI that day at 1500,
so a very late sign on.

NBC Madang (3260), on July 23, also running past 1325+, but very different
format than NBC Bougainville; instead with a lot of info in Pidgin about the
vote count, but not very readable, unlike Bougainville. NBC on 3275 & 3365
continue silent.

CHINA. 6035, PBS Yunnan, 1203-1216+, July 20. Extended broadcast
past normal 1200*; non-stop EZL instrumental music till suddenly cut off;
BBS/Bhutan off the air during this time today.

INDONESIA. 9525.95, VOI, 1040, July 21. In English with music program;
1056 in stilted Chinese; 1213 in Japanese.

KOREA NORTH[non]. back to former 5965, Shiokaze/Sea Breeze, via
Yamata, ex 7215. At 1300, on July 21; in Korean with no jamming yet;
fair-good.

July 22, first day of heavy N. Korea jamming, on 5965, at 1246; before
the *1300 of Shiokaze.

MYANMAR. 5985, Myanmar Radio. Special coverage of Myanmar vs
Brunei, in the U23 soccer games (under age 23), on July 21, at 1139 and
still going at 1255; seemed to perhaps be a TV audio feed, as less than
full spoken coverage.

July 23, with coverage of the Myanmar vs Australia U23 soccer game;
these matches being held in Yangon; heard at 1239; fair.

For those that are interested, here is video of today's highlights of
the U23 soccer match between Myanmar and Australia, that was
held in Thuwunna Stadium, Yangon:

BHUTAN. 6035, BBS (tentative), 1345-1400*, July 25. Noted definite
open carrier, but unable to pull in any audio. Cut off time
matches my positive BBS reception here on July 1, so believe it
was again them with an extended broadcast.

BOUGAINVILLE. 3325, NBC Bougainville.

July 24, listening on-and-off 1058-1249+; mostly non-stop pop hit songs
("Another Day in Paradise," "True Colors," etc.); very few announcers in
Pidgin, so no election results today, but still with extended broadcast past
1200. No RRI Palangkaraya QRM noted today, due to another late sign on
per Atsunori Ishida ("-1400-1702* LA.").

July 25, at 1140, again with music program noted till tuned out at 1302.

INDIA. 4970, AIR Shillong, at 1237, on July 25. Start of the usual Tuesday
滴eart to Heart・program; DJ in English playing EZL hit love songs ("Can't
Help Falling in Love," Celine Dion - "The Power of Love," etc.).

BHUTAN. 6035, BBS, 1206-1224+, July 26. PBS Yunnan (China)
cut off at 1206*, leaving weak, but in the clear BBS; announcer in
vernacular with usual short breaks at 1213 and 1216 for the unique
indigenous instrumental music; 1224 into indigenous music and
singing. Found off the air at 1246 check, so did not go through to
1400 today. My local sunrise today was at 1309 UTC, while sunset
at Thimphu was 1253 UTC.

This is encouraging to find them running past PBS Yunnan going
off the air.

BOUGAINVILLE. 3325, NBC Bougainville, 1058, July 26. A moment
of nostalgia here, with playing of the song "Waltzing Matilda," by a
heavily accented Australian singer. 1109 - Dire Straits with "Walk Of Life."
No extended broadcast today, but instead was off the air before 1152.
At which time I heard Pro 1 RRI Palangkaraya in the clear with almost
fair reception; well above the norm for them, with time pips at 1200 and
Jakarta news audio feed at 1201.

Noted 3260 (NBC Madang - PNG), at 1254 and subsequent checking
through to 1325, with no modulation/audio at all, but decent level open
carrier.

INDONESIA. 3325, Pro 1 RRI Palangkaraya, 1135, July 30. Heard
only RRI here, whereas earlier (1030-1115) noted NBC Bougainville
with their usual Sunday religious programming, so no extended
broadcast and instead with an early sign off. From 1240 to 1301,
RRI in Bahasa Indonesia, with music program of pop songs in English
(Righteous Brothers - "Unchained Melody," Led Zeppelin - "All My
Love," etc.); many singing "Pro Satu RRI Palangkaraya" jingles;

on 5920, heard Voice of Freedom with no jamming at all today.

PAPUA NEW GUINEA. 3260, NBC Madang 1218-1237, July 30.

for the activation of this low powered station, am finding more and more
USB chatter in Spanish. My audio at http://goo.gl/19yTQf . Seems I may
have some QRM to contend with whenever 4KZ starts up. At 1234, on
Aug 2.

BHUTAN[non-logs]. 6035, BBS. On Aug 1, noted PBS Yunnan (China)
till it cut off about 1208, with non-stop easy-listening filler music.
No Bhutan heard here today, unlike yesterdays BBS 1219*.

Aug 2, with PBS Yunnan (China) going off at 1200*, after being in Chinese,
with EZL song. No BBS today after PBS went off.

So BBS is only on after 1200 erratically!

CHINA. 5050, Beibu Bay Radio. It was back in Sept. 2016, that during
the 1300-1400 time period they changed from being in Chinese, over to
Vietnamese, but Aug 3, at 1340 was clearly back again in Chinese; SA in
English - "Beibu Bay Radio"; 1400 time pips; time given in Chinese and
English ("Beijing time is now 10 PM,"); "Guangxi Beibu Bay Radio" SA
in English; briefly in English with "B B R Evening News" intro; into news
in Vietnamese. Have not heard AIR Aizawl (India) here for a while now.

So is 1300-1400 now completely back to Chinese? Is the former brief
English segment still at about 1320? New schedule? Needs more
monitoring!

INDONESIA. 3325, RRI Palangkaraya, 1406, Aug 3. Palangkaraya
local news; ending at 1413 with the playing of the patriotic/national

Reception above the norm, but with summertime QRN (static)

was much stronger; in English & Pidgin with many mentions of
"on the island"; 1123 Public Service Announcement in English
for benefits ("Bring your registration card and ID"); DJ in Pidgin
playing pop Pacific Islands songs; 1155 DJ with SA ("NBC
Bougainville broadcasting 95 point 5, FM band . . 3 point

CHINA. 5050, Beibu Bay Radio, 1300-1400, Aug 4. Yes, they
have reverted back to their pre-Sept. 2016 schedule; mostly in
Chinese, but now with no brief English segment. They continue
with the previous format of having a brief Thai language segment,
today heard 1331+, otherwise in Chinese.

6200, Voice of Jinling. This is a very cosmopolitan station! For over
a month now, just after sign on, have been hearing nice traditional
French songs (very entertaining!). Aug 4, at 1238 & 1247 with French

calls in Pidgin; 1224* cut off. Since the end of the election results, note
Madang has had a good number of these call-in shows, which I assume
are callers commenting on the recent election. Not nearly as strong as
NBC Bougainville (3325).

INDONESIA. 3325, Pro 1 RRI Palangkaraya, 1139, Aug 5, with 
NBC Bougainville clearly off the air at this time. Almost fair reception
at 1232, with audio feed of the Jakarta news in Bahasa Indonesia,
with item about the ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations)
meeting being held today in Manila; short sound bite in English of
Philippines Foreign Affairs Secretary Alan Peter Cayetano's ASEAN
speech - "We now enjoy peace, security and stability in the region.
More importantly . . ."; ending the news at 1234, by playing the
patriotic/national song 泥irgahayu Indonesiaku・ SA "Pro Satu RRI
Palangkaraya."

It will be recalled that this Aug 17th is Independence Day in Indonesia,
so all month long RRI will be playing 泥irgahayu Indonesiaku・at the
end of their news programs.

OTH radar and PBS Xizang QRM, and // AIR Jeypore (5040);
all semi-readable; was not // 4810, AIR Bhopal.

MYANMAR. 5985, Myanmar Radio, on Aug 7, tuned in at 1215,
to hear the Monday edition of the English language lesson ("Say It
In English") already in progress; program will be repeated on Wed.;
dialogue between "Mr. Harris" and "Tom," who wants Tom to take the
morning 7:00 train to Manchester; "The meeting is very important.
Don't miss the train"; Tom works for a company that "makes some
of the finest clocks and watches in the world," but he is "never on
time for anything"; he missed the train and then rushes to take a
taxi to the airport to catch the 8:00 plane to Manchester; 1227 end
of "Say It In English"; fairly readable, but background noise almost
like low level white noise jamming. My local sunrise was at 1318

RUSSIA. 7345, Radio Sakha, via Yakutsk, 1255-1325, on Aug 7.
Surprisingly strong signal, but mixing with CRI; 1300 IS (Jew's harp -

heard before after ToH; non-stop traditional indigenous songs. My

KOREA SOUTH. 4885, Echo of Hope - VOH, on Aug 8, instead
of the normal starting and ending at the ToH for the
one hour program "Radio Broadcasting Guide," which is
repeated again every hour, today was far out of sync and
had some transmitter problems; 1303-1320*, *1322-1323*,
*1327+; at 1322 bell/gong rung slowly three times and regular
intro to the program; normally this would have been at 1303,
so today about 19 minutes out of sync; the next hour at 1420
and 1423, there was no transmitter problem, but still out of sync
by the same amount of time; good reception.

BHUTAN. 6035, BBS. Aug 9, a very good day here! Heard PBS
Yunnan cut off at 1205*, leaving BBS 1205-1248*; various amounts

at 1214, 1216 & 1218 normal brief break for indigenous instrumental
music; 1221-1230 indigenous singing and music; 1230-1248* with two
announcers chatting in vernacular. My audio at http://goo.gl/SoeM1J .

My local sunrise today was at 1320 UT, while sunset at Thimphu, was
at 1244 UT.

BOUGAINVILLE. 3325, NBC Bougainville, Aug 9, with normal format
of DJ in Pidgin playing pop songs till suddenly off at 1146*, at which time
had only a faint open carrier below threshold level from RRI Palangkaraya.

INDIA. 4970, AIR Shillong, 1306, Aug 9. Noted a surprising bad rap (or
hip hop?) song, filled with very strong language of mostly swear words.
Surely they could have picked a better song! DJ in English; 1315 promo
in Hindi for "headline"; usual local SA in English and into a discussion in
English. My audio at http://goo.gl/kiWzwK , without the rap song!

Re: North Korea (DPRK) anomaly Ron Howard - Aug 10, 2017 21:21 UTC No.2454
KOREA SOUTH. What with all the current news stories about North
Korea (DPRK), was interesting to note that on Aug 10, there was a
major anomaly, with about one hour of no jamming at all from DPRK.
A very rare treat to hear ROK stations without the normally strong
interference from the north.

Echo of Hope - VOH:

6350, with their third program, not // to other VOH frequencies;
1219-1228 and subsequently till jamming started up between
1241-1248; heard with QRM from some type of pulsating noise
(believe not DPRK jamming).

3985 // 5995 // 6250 // 9100, heard in the clear 1211-1216 and
subsequently till jamming started up between 1241-1248. See
below for later 6250 UNID.

4885, with the regular "Radio Broadcasting Guide" program in Korean;
quick check at 1217 and subsequently till jamming started up between
1241-1248. Program being out of sync on the 8th proved to be a one
day only anomaly. Now back to program starting and ending at ToH.
This frequency is always free of jamming.

Voice of the People:

3910 // 3930 // 4450 // 6520 // 6600, at 1230, all free from jamming till
it started up between 1241-1248, but 4450 did have strong QRM.

KBS Hanminjok Bangsong 1 (6015). Free of jamming 1203-1210
and subsequently till jamming started up between 1241-1248; news
in Korean; ending each item with "K B S News" in English; some brief
sound bites in English; fair-good.

Voice of Freedom (6135). No jamming 1151-1200 and subsequently
till jamming started up between 1241-1248; fair-good.

UNID. 6250, perhaps Echo of Unification (via DPRK); at 1241; two
equally strong stations here; one clearly being VOH (// 3985, et al.).
UNID not noted earlier, so *1230 per Aoki? No DPRK jamming here
till sometime between 1241-1248.

FIJI. 558, Radio Fiji One (presumed), 1245-1315, Aug 12. Mostly
non-stop religious singing and music; weak, but fairly clear. My
audio at http://goo.gl/oUfrk3 . My local sunrise was at 1322 UTC.

KASHMIR. 4950, AIR Radio Kashmir, Srinagar (presumed), 1341,
Aug 11. Nice surprise to actually catch some audio above threshold

hear their open carrier!

MALAYSIA. 11665, Wai FM, via RTM, from Kajang, 1404, Aug 11.
Unique singing SA in vernacular (one of my favorites!), just after the
news.

MONGOLIA. reactivated 4895, Mongolian Radio 2 (presumed),
1246, Aug 10 and again Aug 11, at 1131, through subsequent
checking till 1350; heard only an open carrier; unable to detect any
modulation/audio at my QTH.

Thanks to feedback from Dave Valko and Hiroyuki Komatsubara,
who were also hearing this, but they had faint audio that indicated
Mongolia and not India. Mongolia not on their other frequency of
4830; while 7260 is now being reported with a het from a third station,
which might also be Mongolia (plus China & Vanuatu). Needs more
monitoring! Website - http://www.mnb.mn/ .

MYANMAR. 5985, Myanmar Radio, 1211-1259, Aug 11. Special live
coverage of the Myanmar U18 vs Inter Milan U18, with friendly soccer
match held at YTC Thuwunna Stadium (Yangon); 1221 noted half time
break with filler music, till coverage started up again; seemed to perhaps
be a TV audio feed, as less than full spoken coverage; usual background
sounds of the fans. Highlights at Youtube - http://goo.gl/JDwjtn .

List of AIR // stations heard on the eve of Independence Day; Aug 14, 
from 1330+ UTC; intro in English and Hindi; National Anthem,
which is rarely heard on SW, except for these special occasions;
president of India addressed the nation; first in Hindi and then
repeated again in English, which started at 1351; longer than
usual speech; for the past five years was first given in English,
then followed again in Hindi. The last time in Hindi, then English
was in 2011. Independence Day is tomorrow, the 15th.

4760 AIR Leh - not heard.
4760 AIR Port Blair - only an open carrier; no audio.
4800 AIR Hyderabad - only CNR1 heard.
4810 AIR Bhopal - heard.
4835 AIR Gangtok - heard with definite audio.
4895 AIR Kurseong - not on the air, nor was Mongolia present.
4910 AIR Jaipur - mostly open carrier and maybe faint audio?
4920 AIR Chennai - heard, but unusually weak underneath Tibet.
4950 AIR Radio Kashmir, Srinagar - heard with definite audio.
4970 AIR Shillong - heard.
5010 AIR Thiruvananthapuram - heard, but very weak audio.
5040 AIR Jeypore - heard; note audio link below.
5050 AIR Aizawl - not heard; only Beibu Bay Radio (China) present.
9380 AIR, via Aligarh - only an open carrier. AIR?
9865 AIR, via Bangalore - well heard.

MYANMAR. 5985, Myanmar Radio. August 16, with special live
coverage of the Southeast Asian Games soccer/football match with

Anthems of both countries; 1245 start of coverage of the game (TV
audio feed); fair. Youtube - http://goo.gl/JuULYy , with intro anthems.

RUSSIA. 7345, Radio Sakha, via Yakutsk, 1335, Aug 16. Music by
a Jew's harp (khomus) and with singing. Certainly this unique musical
instrument is very popular in this region of Siberia; actually stronger
signal than the CNR1 QRM. 7295 remains silent.

CHINA. 6035, PBS Yunnan (Voice of Shangri-la), 1200-1201*,
Aug 20. ToH ends their regular programming; start of their EZL
filler music till suddenly off. No BBS/Bhutan today.

6155, CNR2/China Business Radio, 1212-1232, Aug 20. The often
heard, popular variety show "Haiyang Live"; mostly comedy with a
lot of canned laughter, but also pop songs; in Chinese, except for a
brief segment in English ("As many of you prepare to take the National
Higher Education Entrance Examination, I wish you success in your
endeavors . . . Whether you aim to be a doctor, teacher, scientist,
musician, engineer or writer . . . You are the next generation of
leaders for generations to come."); // 6065 // 7315.

The examination is given throughout China to high school students to
determine which university they can attend. A tremendous amount of
pressure on the students to do well, as it greatly affects their future.
Will always remember some years ago, I was in Shanghai during the
day of the exam. Needed to take a taxi someplace, which are normally
very easy to find, as there are so many of them in the city, but that day
all the taxis were occupied by students. Later found out that almost all
the taxis in the city had been reserved to take students to the exam.

7148-USB (ex: 7118-USB), VC01 (Chinese Military numbers station), on
Aug 20, heard at 1138, 1152, 1241 and 1259, with numbers in Chinese;
fair reception. Seems they now like the ham band!

INDIA. 4970, AIR Shillong, 1250, Aug 20. The usual Sunday "Country
Roads" C&W music show with DJ in English; Kenny Rogers, "You
Decorated my Life," etc.

INDIA/MONGOLIA[non-log]. 4895, on Aug 20, at 1155 and subsequent
checking, found frequency free of either Mongolian Radio 2 nor AIR
Kurseong. The reactivation of Mongolia here was indeed very brief!

MYANMAR. 5915, Myanmar Radio, at 1308, on Aug 20, found a greatly
improved reception of this station, that until today had recently been QRMed
by the North Korea jamming of 5920 (against Voice of Freedom, which
sometimes used that frequency); usual QRM from CRI (Russian) on 5915.

CHINA. 6125, CNR1, 1216-1308, Aug 27. Preempted
regular programs to provide live coverage of the opening
ceremony of the 13th Nation Games of China, held in
northeastern China (Tianjin); 1232 played the National
Anthem ("March of the Volunteers"); President Xi Jinping
with speech opening the games. Youtube coverage in

Certainly a major production and has been called China's

BOUGAINVILLE. 3325, NBC Bougainville, 1124-1151*,
Aug 27. Sunday religious songs till 1130, when switched
over to pop hit songs (Linda Ronstadt - "When Will I Be
Loved," etc.); DJ in Pidgin; suddenly off at 1151*, leaving
a weak RRI in the clear.

On Aug 26, heard 1103-1203*; usual DJ in Pidgin ("Saturday
night . . last hour," etc.); playing pop Pacific Islands songs;
1154 SA with frequencies; entertaining reception, as was
stronger than normal and very light RRI QRM.

NBC Bougainville also heard Aug 25, at 1154; pop song Eric
Carmen - "Hungry Eyes"; suddenly off 1201*.

BTW - NBC Madang (3260), on Aug 26, with cut off at 1216*.

CHINA. 7148-USB, VC01 (Chinese Military numbers station),
on Aug 27; heard at 0937, 1033, 1122 & 1203, with numbers
in Chinese; fair reception. Also // 7564-LSB at 0937, 1033,
but off the air at 1122 & 1203.

7345-USB, V26, 1217, Aug 26. Numbers in Chinese; mixing
with equally strong CRI.

CHINA[and non-log]. 6065 & 6155, CNR2, Aug 27 at 1259+,
found both frequencies silent; whereas CNR2 was on the air
7265 // 7315.

FIJI[non-log]. 558, Radio Fiji One. Normally I daily hear
some type of signal from them, but Aug 27 had no trace of
any carrier here. Just very poor propagation or what?

KOREA SOUTH. 6045, Voice of Freedom, on Aug 25,
26 & 27, 0941+. Continuing on this new frequency with
no hint of any North Korea jamming yet; very strong signal.

Aug 27, noted former VOF frequencies 6135 (still being
jammed), 5920 clear, 5940 clear and 6020 with Vietnam.

MONGOLIA. 4895, Mongolian Radio 2 (suspected), 1235
through subsequent checking till 1322, Aug 26. Only a definite
open carrier; never any modulation/audio; have been monitoring
here daily since their recent very brief reactivation. Also open
carrier on Aug 27; noted at 1051, 1211 & 1252; again with no
audio at all detected. Would like to think this is them, but will
take someone hearing some audio to confirm this!

On Aug 25, Hiroyuki Komatsubara reported "-0915- 4895kHz
UNID carrier, heavy QRM from 4885kHz," but when I checked
at 1130, the carrier was off. Worth keeping an eye on this
frequency.

RUSSIA. 7345, Radio Sakha, via Yakutsk, 0948-1030,
Aug 27. Usual SA at 0950 and series of ads; pop music;
1000 with IS (Jew's harp - khomus) and time pips; long
segment of on-air phone calls after the news; fair reception
as CNR1 doesn't sign on till about 1101. 7295 remains
silent. Guess I enjoy this so much as it is the only Russian
station that I hear now!

Re: "Ozy Radio" testing on 5045 kHz. Ron Howard - Aug 28, 2017 16:09 UTC No.2505
AUSTRALIA. 5045, "Ozy Radio." It was back on Jul 6,
2011, that I last heard Craig Allen's low powered "Ozy
Radio" on 5050. In 2015, Craig informed me "We will
be back soon on 5045 kHz. with more power, 1kw. Ozy
Radio." Has actually happened Aug 28. Dave Kernick,
et al., have confirmed the SA today for this test transmission.
Thanks fellows!

Thanks also to an emailed alert from Bruce Churchill, drove
to the beach and at 0927 heard a very weak open carrier.
Reception of any audio not possible here till my local sunrise,
which was at 1336 UTC. My most distinctive details were at
1334 & 1419, with hearing the unmistakable "Waltzing Matilda,"
as a brief instrumental. Ozy Radio IS? Noted a number of songs,
but not strong enough to be able to SA them. 1402-1411 OM &
YL with what seemed to be the news; 1411 into EZL older hit
songs, but again too weak to SA.

Am not disappointed by this poor reception today, as BBR
(China) on 5050 is normally well heard by me, but today
was extremely poor (unusable), which is rare. Believe
propagation today was rather unique, so on a day with
normal propagation, Ozy Radio could be just fine.

Re: Asia - Pacific DX log (11) Ron Howard - Aug 30, 2017 22:17 UTC No.2511

AUSTRALIA. 5045, Ozy Radio (presumed). Aug 30 had
much better overall propagation than my 28th reception,
but with that BBR (China) on 5050 was heard with a
decent signal; some of the BBR audio spilled over to
5045, so I had to listen in LSB.

Just like Glenn Hauser, I also noted the assumed utility signal
at 1205, on 5045.8, along with 5045 open carrier, but later
utility was not heard.

At my local sunrise (1337), thought I would start to catch
some audio here, as I did on 28th, but not so; no audio
checking through 1406; just an open carrier today, even
with the better propagation. Completely different reception
than on the 28th, when I had definite audio. Seems every
day will have different reception here. Can only hope Craig
will increase the power in the future.

BOUGAINVILLE. 3325, NBC Bougainville, 1134-1138*, on
Aug 30. Above average reception (almost fair); pop songs,
with DJ in Pidgin. After suddenly going off, frequency was
clear (RRI Palangkaraya was very late signing on today!).

BTW - NBC Madang (3260), on Aug 30, cut off at 1149*. So
both these NBC stations cut off earlier than normal. NBC on
3275 & 3365 still remain silent.

CHINA. 6035, PBS Yunnan (Voice of Shangri-la), Aug 30,
noted cut off at 1201*. They never give a closing SA, but
instead usually give the last SA at about 1131; still with the
nice English & Chinese SA - "S W liu(6) ling(0) san(3) wu(5).
Yunnan Radio and Television International, the Voice Shangri-
la". No BBS/Bhutan here today.

INDONESIA. Aug 30, with a rare occurrence! For a period
of time there were no Indonesian stations on SW. None at all.

3325, Pro 1 RRI Palangkaraya. After NBC Bougainville cut
off at 1138*, no hint of RRI; subsequently still off the air, but
by 1232 heard them with fair reception; so came on the air
sometime between 1227-1232; at 1237 ended the Jakarta
news relay, in Bahasa Indonesia, with patriotic/national song
泥irgahayu Indonesiaku・(should be played throughout the
month of August); series of nice SAs for both "Pro Satu RRI
Palangkaraya" and the full "Pro Satu Radio Republik
Indonesia Palangkaraya"; many promos for "audio on
demand . . . audio streaming . . download," for RRI stations;
1400 several RRI Palangkaraya jingles; into their local news;
still with fair reception.

9524.95, VOI, off the air; checked 1215-1347.

KOREA SOUTH. 1566, HLAZ (Far Eastern Broadcasting
Company, FEBC), 1245, Aug 30. Best reception in USB; poor,
but clearly in Japanese (matches schedule); religious organ
music; some days only have an open carrier here.

SOLOMON ISLANDS. 5020, SIBC, 1154, Aug 30. Start of
the usual "Evening Devotional" Christian spot in English; SA
in English, but cut off at 1159* before SA completed.

Amano-san - Thank you very much for the great Voice of Freedom info! Ron

BOUGAINVILLE. 3325, NBC Bougainville, 1153-1157*,
Aug 31. Pop song (Faith Hill - "Piece Of My Heart") till
suddenly cut off. RRI Palangkaraya off the air today,
checking 1157-1352.

BTW - NBC Madang, 3260, on Aug 31, cut off at 1204*,
while playing Elton John's song Lady Diana - Candle in the
wind (Goodbye England's rose).

INDIA. 4810 (AIR Bhopal) // 5010 (AIR Thiruvananthapuram)
// 5040 (AIR Jeypore), at 1238, on Aug 31; special live coverage
of the India vs Sri Lanka cricket match held at Colombo; many
ads; coverage in English and Hindi; at 1345 not // any more.
4920 (AIR Chennai) was never //.

INDONESIA[non-log]. Aug 31, noted Pro 1 RRI Palangkaraya
(3325) and Voice of Indonesia (9524.95) both off the air from 1157
to 1352.

SOLOMON ISLANDS. 5020, SIBC, 1159*, Aug 31. Cut off as
if on a timer, in the middle of the "Evening Devotional"; so today
off without SA or National Anthem.

Re: Asia - Pacific DX log (11) Ron Howard - Sep 01, 2017 19:31 UTC No.2515
BOUGAINVILLE. 3325, NBC Bougainville, 1159-1201*,
Sept 1. Montage of songs with several "NBC Bougainville"
SAs; 1200 another SA with frequencies; start of a promo in
English for "NBC Radio", but cut off before it finished. After
closing, RRI Palangkaraya in the clear with the Jakarta
news relay, so back on the air again.

CHINA. new schedule for Voice of Strait. Sept 1 heard
4900 & 4940 (different programs) at 1206, so tentatively:

6115 kHz. at 1200* (ex 1300*) switches to 4900 kHz. and
9505 kHz. at 1200* (ex 1300*) switches to 4940 kHz.

Needs to be actually observed to confirm.

6035, PBS Yunnan (Voice of Shangri-la), 1123-1145, Sept 1.
Pop song (Berlin - "Take My Breath Away"); 1133 with clear
"Yunnan Radio and Television International, the Voice Shangri-
la"; shortly after 1123 sounded like two stations here; other one
assumed to be BBS/Bhutan, but unable to tell when it went off
the air.

INDONESIA[and non-log]. Sept 1, with RRI Palangkaraya
(3325) back on the air after being silent for the Jakarta news at
1201 for the past two days. While Voice of Indonesia (9524.95)
continues silent at 1115+.

SOLOMON ISLANDS. 5020, SIBC, Sept 1, with just a quick
check to confirm another day with sudden 1159* cut off. Is now
the consistent time for closing down.

Re: Ozy Radio Ron Howard - Sep 02, 2017 15:13 UTC No.2517
AUSTRALIA. 5045, Ozy Radio, 1132-1156, Sept 2.
Best reception so far! EZL pop songs; just a little bit
too weak to be able to SA them; fortunately the most
distinctive feature of the broadcast is the old Radio
Australia's "Waltzing Matilda" and that came through
loud and clear (my audio clip - http://goo.gl/jai54P),
which was heard at 1156, as well as at 1142, then
followed by "Ozy Radio" SA and email address (only
able to make out bits & pieces of announcement). After
1156, was unable to again hear any audio (none at all).
So seemed to just be a brief spot with unusually good
propagation?

Very pleased to be able to catch so nice a reception of the
Ozy Radio IS. Certainly makes it much easier for us listeners
in North America to positively SA this low powered station.

DJ in Pidgin; mix of pop, C&W and religious (Christian)
songs; Lionel Richie - "Jesus Is Love," Dolly Parton -
"When You Think About Love," Don Williams - "Shot Full
Of Love," etc.; many local time checks ("19 past 10"),
which would set it apart from local times given by NBC
Madang (PNG) on 3260, which happens to be one hour
behind Bougainville; decent reception, as very light QRM
from RRI Palangkaraya today.

BTW - Voice of Indonesia remains silent for yet another day

SOLOMON ISLANDS. 5020, SIBC. Sept 3 anomaly; they kept

KOREA SOUTH. 6045, Voice of Freedom. Sept 4, what
happened here? Seemed as if VOF had strong carrier, but no
audio at all; also here was N. Korea jamming with pulsating
noise for the very first time since VOF moved to this frequency;
same type of jamming as formerly heard on 5920 when VOF
was there.

Vietnam, but all without VOF.

MYANMAR. 5985, Myanmar Radio, on Sept 4, tuned in at

BOUGAINVILLE. 3325, NBC Bougainville, 1133, Sept 6.
Nice to hear a singing version of "Waltzing Matilda" here;
cut off at 1200*, revealing RRI Palangkaraya.

Sept 7, was a bad day here, with both NBC and RRI being
about equal strength, causing a mess; NBC cut off at 1203*,
leaving RRI in the clear. Normally NBC is considerably
stronger, making their station more listenable.

INDONESIA. 3325, RRI Palangkaraya. As August is
over, they are no longer playing the patriotic/national song
泥irgahayu Indonesiaku・to close the 1200 Jakarta news
relay.

Instead on Sept 6, at 1225, ended the news with the patriotic
song "Garuda Pancasila" (aka: "Mars Pancasila"), which was
composed by Sudharnoto, with lyrics about the loyalty of all
Indonesian people to Pancasila as the only ideology or
philosophy of the Indonesian nation.

KOREA SOUTH. 5920, Voice of Freedom (ex: 6045).
After going three days without any VOF, they have
returned to this former frequency on Sept 7. Noted at
1119, plus subsequent checks. Thanks go to Hiroyuki
Komatsubara, who confirmed he was also hearing them
today at 0930.

On former VOF frequencies: 6135, still being jammed with
strong white noise; 5940 clear; 6020 with weak Vietnam and
6045 with pulsating noise jamming that has been here now
for four days (causing considerable QRM for Tibet on 6050).

MONGOLIA. 4895, Mongolian Radio 2. Has been on the
air here very erratically; back again Sept 7, with decent level
carrier, but am unable to catch any audio; 1131 and subsquent
checking. Thanks to Hiroyuki Komatsubara for reporting
"-1057- 4895kHz MONGOLIA Golden Radio, (Radio 2)."

MYANMAR. 5985, Myanmar Radio, on Wednesday (Sept 6),
heard repeat of the Monday program of "Say It In English" that
dealt with the "train to Manchester"; started later than the
Monday show, as it ended at 1247, instead of ending at 1232.

So I can confirm the English language lessons are only on

EMBASSY OF THE STATE OF ERITREA
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dimtsi Hafash: (Voice of the Broad Masses) is a state owned media that
broadcasts from the capital Asmara. This national radio service begun
under the liberation front in 1979. The high illiteracy rate among
Eritreans, particularly in rural areas, make this medium the most
effective to educate and inform the general public. Its correspondents
are stationed throughout the country. With a transmission power of 100
kilowatts, Dimtsi Hafash covers all Eritrea and it also available via
satellite. It broadcasts in nine Eritrean ethnic languages, (Tigrinya,
Arabic, Tigre, Kunama, Saho, Afar, Bilen, Hedareb and Nara), Amharic,
Oromo and Somali languages and covers a wide range of subjects targeted
at general and specific audiences. Children and youth, for example,
broadcast their own shows each week.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
http://www.eritrean-embassy.se/press-release/media/



There are three radio stations in Eritrea.

Radio Bana is an educational radio broadcast in five languages.
Radio Zara is available only in Tigrinya, while Dimtsi Hafash is
available in nine languages:

CHINA. 4990, PBS Hunan, back on the air again on May 2, after 
being silent for a while; noted at 1101.

INDIA. 4970, AIR Shillong, 1315-1335, May 2. Much stronger
modulation than normal; almost fair; financial ad; 1318-1335 non-
stop chanting (no music); usual SA/ID in English; 典his is the North
Eastern Service of All India Radio broadcasting from Shillong on
shortwave 60.26 meters, corresponding to 4,970 kilohertz and an
additional FM 100.1 megahertz." My local sunrise at 1312 UT.

May 3, heard with amazingly good audio level; 1230 EZL jazz filler
music till start of the news from Delhi in English at 1232, already in
progress, with item about the supreme court ruling today; stock
market info and sports news. Great to have them with such good
modulation again!

INDONESIA. 4869.9, Pro 1 RRI Wamena [non-log], as of May 2,
continues silent.

9524.95, VOI, 1310, April 28. In English with promo for this years
quiz; "commentary"; "Today in History" (this date in 1949 Chairil
Anwar, Indonesian poet, died; this date 2001, Dennis Tito became
first paying [$20M] passenger to go into outer space); fairly readable.

April 30, VOI with usual language assignments, but out of syn with
normal timing; English already started by 1248, instead of 1300. Next
day back to normal.

MYANMAR. 5985, Myanmar Radio, *1120, May 2. Suddenly on;
fair; in vernacular.

PAPUA NEW GUINEA. 3260, NBC Madang, 1137-1203*, April 30
(Sunday). In Pidgin/Tok Pisin with religious (Christian) program of
mostly songs; 1201 switched to different audio feed (TV?), to catch
the closing announcement in English for what sounded like a religious
show ("on every Sunday"); cut off before the start of the normal Sunday
"Island Praise" program; reception well above the norm.

[non-log]. 7324.95, Wantok Radio Light, 1402, May 1. Continuing
with their long absence. Off for about a year now? A clear frequency
at this time period.

SOLOMON ISLANDS. 5020, SIBC, with no extended broadcast on
April 28 & 29; off about 1202*.

April 30 (Sunday), with extended broadcast of religious (Christian) songs
in English till 1244*, assume Wantok FM relay, but no SA/IDs as such.

May 1, at 1200 ended NA; dead air (open carrier) till 1203 start of assume
Wantok FM relay, but the brief, frequent announcements between every 2-3
pop songs never mentioned Wantok; seemed to be a new format for these
brief announcements; the IDs were certainly not anything like the usual
often heard Wantok FM SA/IDs; 1332*.

May 2, another extended broadcast; after NA, at 1202, a seamless
switch over to SIBC format programming of pop songs in English
("I Only Want To Be With You," "How Deep Is Your Love," "Take My
Breath Away," "Uptown Girl," "Old Time Rock n Roll," etc.); 1202-1308,
with 20 straight non-stop songs without even one announcement or SA/ID;
mostly fair. With these extended broadcasts, is now one of my favorite
stations to listen to!

May 3, no extended broadcast.

VANUATU. 7259.96, R. Vanuatu, 0604, May 1. In vernacular; clear
SA/ID at 0617.

Re: Russia - Radio Sakha Ron Howard - May 04, 2017 14:18 UTC No.2223
RUSSIA. 7345, Radio Sakha, via Yakutsk, 1040-1101, May 4.
Chatting on the phone in assume Yakut; brief English: "We are
on the air"; 1056 SA/ID ("Radio Sakha") and ads in Russian; 1100
usual IS with Jew's harp (khomus); 3 time pips and into the
news till covered at 1101 by strong CNR1 (China) sign on.

They broadcast in Russian, Yakut and Evenki languages.
7295 remains unheard. Thanks to feedback from Hiroyuki
Komatsubara (Japan), on May 3: "7295kHz RUSSIA Radio
Sakha, still off air," with "7345kHz RUSSIA Radio Sakha,
strong signal," both at 1057.

In the past they always gave their SA/ID religiously at
xx:50, but recently noted more often than not about
xx:55-xx:57.

INDIA. 4870.25, AIR (Delhi-Kingsway), on May 8, with open
carrier at 1322; started audio at 1326 with subcontinent music/
singing (not AIR IS); weak; scheduled to be in Nepali; RRI
Wamena (Indonesia) continues their month+ long silence,
which was last heard on 4869.88.

[non-log] 4895, AIR Kurseong, noted off the air both May 7 & 8.

4970, AIR Shillong, on May 8, with another day of strong audio,
but QRM from OTH radar (4920-4975); 1239 pop music show
with DJ in English talking about the bands/singers; 1315 ended
show with usual local ID.

[non-log] 5050, AIR Aizawl, as of May 8, has not been heard for
a while now.

PAPUA NEW GUINEA. 3260, NBC Madang, 1207*, May 8. Suddenly
off after the news in English and promo; poor.

3275, NBC Southern Highlands (presumed), 1208 to past 1318, May 8.
Only hearing an open carrier here; has not been heard for quite a while.
Dave Valko was also tentatively hearing them today at 1315, via remote
web receiver in Collie, Australia. He did have some weak audio, with
language and format sounding right to be NBC.

Re: Asia - Pacific DX log (10) Ron Howard - May 09, 2017 17:59 UTC No.2226
ANDAMAN & NICOBAR ISLANDS. 4760, AIR Port Blair (presumed).
Nicely above threshold level audio 1205, on May 9, with sub-continent
music/singing. Recently has been doing fairly well.

Wolfie's May 9 log:
"4759.999 IND AIR - probably Port Blair location, S=9+5dB signal
noted in Delhi India, at 1508, and male in Hindi at 1522 UT."

CHINA. 6035, PBS Yunnan (Voice of Shangri-la), 1146-1201*, May 9.
A few brief announcements in Chinese; classical waltz music (Johann
Strauss II - An der sch&#246;nen blauen Donau, Op. 314 [aka: "The Blue
Danube Waltz"], etc.); much stronger signal than usual. Last year often
heard BBS (Bhutan) here till after 1200, but they have not been heard
for a while now, so assume with an earlier sign off time now?

EAST TURKISTAN[non-log]. 4850, 4980 and 5060, PBS Xinjiang,
on May 9, made their seasonal change away from these frequencies;
now these three frequencies are in the clear.

INDIA. 4895 [non-log], AIR Kurseong, off the air again May 9.

4970, AIR Shillong, on May 9, with yet another day of strong audio;
1230 news feed in English from Delhi. My five minute news audio
at http://goo.gl/JZf8WY . Fairly readable, which is a very nice change
from their past low modulation.

Wolfie's reception: "4970.017 IND AIR Shillong, S=9+20dB, female
presenter in progress at 1410 and 1425 UT on May 9."

RE: my "non-log" of AIR Aizawl: thanks to Wolfie, who provided this
info on May 9: "5050even IND AIR Aizawl, Mizoram, rather tiny signal
in Delhi remote SDR. S=7-8 at 1419 UT. "

So I am not hearing them underneath a strong Guangxi Beibu Bay
Radio (China). In the past I had no problem hearing AIR mixing with
BBR, so Aizawl must have come down significantly in power?

PAPUA NEW GUINEA[non-log]. 3260, NBC Madang and 3275,
NBC Southern Highlands both silent on May 9, at 1202; unlike
yesterdays receptions; today with unique conditions, as the lower
powered Korean station on 3220 was unusually strong today.

SIKKIM. 4835, AIR Gangtok (presumed), 1240, May 9, during a brief
check here, was able to hear an announcer, so just above threshold
level audio; is rare that this gets up to this level, so an outstanding day
for subcontinent reception.

Wolfie's reception: "4835even IND AIR Gangtok, Sikkim, smooth sweet
music singer, S=8-9 fair 0441 UT on May 9."

Hi, XXX. I noticed you had changed your nickname. :)
Since Yesterday, Certain Korean DXer has checked 97.0 MHz, one of the frequencies of
Echo of Unification insists North Korea has been operating that at 'independent non-government
organization' is transmitting KCBS, which is known as a national broadcast. We didn't find
out what they want by sending KCBS yet. Now, 97.0 MHz on the night time has been received for
2 hours, from 21:30 to 23:30 like the time of Echo of Unification, so we guess it may be just
transmitting test. today I also turned 89.4 and 97.8 MHz, but they were EOH.

NOTE
89.4, 97.8 MHz: Echo of Unification
97.0 MHz: KCBS (We guess it is the test signal of EOH now.)

Re: Asia - Pacific DX log (10) Kowalski - May 13, 2017 13:36 UTC No.2235
*NOTE

-22:29-
97.0 MHz changed into Echo of Unification again while it is sending KCBS time signal.

Re: Korea - Voice of Freedom on new 5920 kHz. Ron Howard - May 15, 2017 15:17 UTC No.2241
KOREA SOUTH. On a new frequency of 5920, Voice of Freedom
(clandestine) (presumed), ex: 6135. Thanks to the timely tip posted
to WRTH Facebook page by Mauno Ritola. May 15, seemed to sign
on about 1130(?), checked this new frequency on and off after 1107;
first noted at 1137; in Korean and playing easy listening pop songs;
an abbreviated transmission of about an hour; they went off close to
1238* and not heard after that. Ex: 6135, heard only white noise
jamming there as usual.

The format certainly seemed correct for VOF; clearly not on their
normal 6135 (under the white noise). My audio http://goo.gl/uCblFP

Re: Korea - Voice of Freedom on new 5920 kHz. Ron Howard - May 15, 2017 16:28 UTC No.2242
Seems I may have heard a test transmission of Voice of Freedom.

Per Hiroshi's web site http://hiroshi.mediacat-blog.jp/e122168.html
(in Japanese), there are a few new frequencies (5920 & 6020)
registered with the HFCC. Thanks very much to Chulsu at
http://radio.chobi.net/bbsasia/?res:3018#3667 (in Japanese),

Re: Voice of Freedom on new 6020 kHz. Ron Howard - May 16, 2017 15:47 UTC No.2245
KOREA SOUTH. On a new frequency of 6020, Voice of Freedom
(clandestine) (presumed). May 16, at 1013, tuned in to hear
this new frequency; clearly not Vietnam (VOV4), which is also
on this frequency; suddenly off at 1017*; VOF's usual 6135,
only had the normal white noise jamming and the other new VOF
frequency that was heard yesterday on 5920, was silent all of
today.

At 1018, found VOF had switched to 6135, underneath the normal
white noise jamming; usual format of being in Korean and playing
EZL songs; still there at last check of 1240, with 5920 silent
and a weak VOV4 on 6020.

Seems therefore that they are randomly testing their two new frequencies
(5920 & 6020), as well as using their normal 6135. Certainly no pattern
yet established as to their testing schedule

Wonderful to hear this station again, after a considerable
absence. Not many SA/IDs given, but heard several "NBC
Bougainville" SA/IDs at 1022 and sign off announcement at
1156; segments in English and Pidgin/Tok Pisin. Mostly poor,
with heavy QRN (static). Highlights:

0904: New in English.

1000-1011: Usual PNG bird call; news in English.

1011-1022: Sound bites from a series of speeches.

1022-1101: Pop songs.

1101-1111: News preempted by announcer (monologue).

1111: Pop songs; John Waite - "Missing You" (I ainエt missing you
at all), etc.

1200*: Suddenly off.

the OM with monologue. Needs more monitoring now that it might

Have to try to also remember to check on 7345 kHz., as CNR1 is

better chance of being heard before 1200 (CRI signs on then), so
only Radio Sakha (Russia) QRM to contend with.

Re: Ramadan 2017 Ron Howard - May 26, 2017 03:00 UTC No.2298

On May 25, I was listening first to a very strong signal from Wai FM
(Malaysia), on 11665, at 1244 and heard an elegant reciting from
the Qur'an by a woman, which is extremely rare to hear on SW.
More than 99% of the time only done by men. Thought perhaps
something special was going on.

Later at 1255, tuned to Sarawak FM (Malaysia), on 9835, at 1255,
also with good reception, to hear a talk about Ramadan, which sent
me to the web to find out if we are close to the start of this yearly event.

Yes, I found that "Saudi Arabia, the birthplace of Islam, has announced
that the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan will begin on Saturday, state
media said on Thursday." So this coming weekend will in fact be the
start of Ramadan.

It is the time of year to now check SW for renewed activity from Islamic
countries; e.g. Indonesia, which in past years did reactivate dormant
stations, as well as other stations/countries running special programs.
Expect to hear a lot more reciting from the Qur'an during my morning
band scans.

BTW - In the past, the Monday & Thursday relay of Limbang FM, via Wai
FM, on 11665, during 1315-1400 UT, always had just SA/IDs for "Limbang FM,"
but this Thursday (May 25) noted their new SA/ID being used many times -
"Wai FM, Limbang." My audio at http://goo.gl/4lmnGd .

today. For the first time jammed by N. Korea with white noise
at 1144. Very wise of New Zealand to leave here, after Glenn
alerted them to the problem!

6003, Echo of Hope - VOH, heard at 1144; jammed as usual with white
noise.

6135, VOF down on 5920, not here, but usual white noise jamming was.

6250, Jammed as usual with white noise; unable to confirm VOH here,
at 1145; jamming too strong.

6348, Echo of Hope - VOH, heard at 1145; jammed as usual with white
noise.

6350, Echo of Hope - VOH new frequency, but not used by VOH today.
White noise jamming is also now here, at 1145.

9100, Echo of Hope - VOH, 1211, good reception (not jammed); in
Korean with the news; 1215 their singing station jingle and nice
"V O H" SA/ID (audio at http://goo.gl/fDeUXm ; very light Sound
of Hope (Taiwan) QRM far underneath, which was playing EZL music
and was // 6230 // 6730 // 7310 // 11960.

So both 4885 & 9100 where the only good frequencies today for Echo of
Hope - VOH.

4760, AIR Port Blair, 1227-1325, May 26. Surprisingly good reception;
fairly readable, which is very rare; preempted regular programs to
air the special activities of Prime Minister Modi, with an address to
the BJP's pan-India festival at Guwahati (Assam) and for the PM's
inauguration of India’s longest bridge, Dhola-Sadiya.

1227-1247: Pre-speech report from the festival; background sounds;
seemed to be in mostly Hindi, but some English spots; // 4920, AIR
Chennai, which now has beautiful reception due to PBS Xizang being
temporarily off the air, and also // 5010, AIR Thiruvananthapuram.

1247: Start of the PM's impassioned speech in Hindi to the crowd at the
festival; still being given when tuned out at 1325.

The speech was carried by most of the other AIR regional stations, but
clearly not by AIR Jeypore (5040). Unable to confirm // to 4835 (AIR
Gangtok) and the same for AIR Radio Kashmir, Srinagar (4950), as
both just heard with open carriers; not strong enough for audio.

AIR Kurseong (4895) and AIR Aizawl (5050) continue to be silent.

I'd not ever received 9100 kHz. 
But it seemed Taereung increased the power of 9100 kHz.
Finally, I could listen to EOH on 9100 kHz on May 27.
And since that day, 4885 and 9100 kHz have been sending contents like other frequencies.
Now all frequencies work from 15:00 to 09:00 for the same time.

Re: Asia - Pacific DX log (10) Kowalski - Jun 03, 2017 03:02 UTC No.2322
North Korea feeling the dangerousness of propaganda has been transmitting Jammings 
not only Echo of Hope but also almost all propaganda including Shiokaze. By May 2017,
Frequencies are some changed among the standard of Short Wave broadcastings, 5 kHz,
even though 6348 kHz is one of the longest frequency keeping with the jamming, of
course, minor alternations such as 2 kHz don't influence on receiving the radio.
Anyway, North Korea also adjusted their jammers following them, and it showed the
fact they have always been monitoring Echo of Hope. Now, the jammers aiming at Echo
of Hope are 3985, 5995, 6003, 6250, 6348 and 9100 kHz, and 4885 and 9100 kHz, which
are new frequencies comparatively, don't have the jammers yet.
-In my blog...

I received EOH's Opening, Ending, and Shortly before the rerun on June 1st, and I
discovered them are changed. Maybe it will mean their test is all done, so their
frequencies will keep.

Kowalski-san.
Thank you so much for your quick update on your VOH related blog.
When I check VOH, I always refer to your VOH related blog.

Wow! Certainly 6350 kHz exactly Jamming from North Korea has not appeared.
When receiving with No Sync mode by ICF-SW7600GR, side jamming of 6348 kHz is
worrisome, but it can avoid jamming when it receives with Sync on USB!

By the way, the start and end of the VOH broadcasting is 0600-0000 UTC(1500-0900 KST),
but the latest program of VOH (the base point of the latest program) is from 1500
UTC(0000 KST), isn't it?
I was taught by Chulsu-san about it.

RUSSIA. 7345, Radio Sakha, via Yakutsk. Recently had been 
observing them consistently going off the air 1200-1201*.

June 8, with anomaly of 1208-1300*; therefor blocking reception
of Thazin Radio (Myanmar); 1208-1245 with all traditional singing;

CHINA. 3990 // 5970, Gannan PBS, 1315, June 11. Finally able
to clearly hear them //; in Chinese; seems ex: 5979 has really been
abandoned.

KOREA SOUTH. 5940, Voice of Freedom (clandestine), through
June 12, at 1247, still unjammed here; jamming still going on at ex:
5920 and ex: 6135.

MYANMAR. 9730, Myanmar Radio, 1229*, June 11. There has
been a recent change in sign off format here; for a long time they
always closed with their usual indigenous theme music, but now
is // to 5985 and both with singing SA/ID with their three different
"kilohertz" frequencies before going off the air, while 5985 continues
on.

SIKKIM. 4835, AIR Gangtok, 1230, June 9. News/stock market report/
sports in English; clearly // AIR Chennai (4920, with PBS Xizang still off
the air) // AIR Shillong (4970) and // AIR Jeypore (5040). Certainly is not
every day that I can hear Gangtok so well.

SOLOMON ISLANDS. 5020, Wantok FM, via SIBC, 1200-1244*,
June 12. Extended broadcast; 1159 end of NA and deadair till start
of relay; almost fair; frequent generic spots ("Makes me happy. Turns
me on," etc.), but no Wantok FM SA/IDs as such; played all pop Pacific
Islands songs. My local sunrise was at 1248 UT.

June 11 (Sunday), 1230-1308*; extended broadcast; non-stop pop
songs (Tina Turner - "What's Love Got To Do With It," etc.), instead of
the usual all religious songs.

SOMALILAND. 7120, R. Hargeisa, 1417, June 12. As they have done
in past years, they are now on the air 1400-1500, just during Ramadan;
their usual schedule is to be off the air during 14-15; heard with HOA
music and a call in program; weak.

ZAMBIA[non-log]. 5915, R. One/ZNBC1, through 0432, June 12. They
continue to be silent, as Bill Bingham (RSA) and I have both monitored
this past week; seems like a significant problem, unrelated to the former
"load shedding."

Re: Bougainville, Indonesia and PNG Ron Howard - Jan 03, 2017 15:51 UTC No.2029
BOUGAINVILLE. 3325, NBC Bougainville, 1119-1205*,
Jan 3. DJ in Pidgin/Tok Pisin playing pop songs; too weak to
be readable.

Today was a first for me here, hearing a formal, offical sign off
format. For a long time now NBC normally ended about 1200+ by
just suddenly going off the air (pulled the plug), but instead today
at 1203 noted children singing the National Anthem and announcer
in English with what sounded like station SA/ID and frequencies (heard
"kilohertz" mentioned several times); very tough copy; off at 1205*.

The other change today was that they did not go to the usual Port
Moresby audio feed about 1201, for the "NBC News in Brief." In
the past, Bougainville normally started the news, but rarely got all
the way through it before going off the air, but instead today they
did their own sign off format. So today was a major change in their
closing.

In the past, I often heard this sign off format of children singing the
National Anthem on both NBC Madang (3260) and NBC New
Ireland (3905), so was a real treat for me to hear it again, as it
had been over a year since I last heard it.

Today's propagation did not favor RRI Palangkaraya, which was
not a factor at all in hearing NBC.

My poor quality audio at http://goo.gl/xaP33v .

INDONESIA. 3325, Pro 1 RRI Palangkaraya, 1212-1228, Jan 3.
Jakarta news relay already in progress, in Bahasa Indonesia;
ending the news at 1228 with patriotic song (too weak to ID song);
clearly // Pro 1 RRI Wamena (4869.88) till 1230. Unable to confirm
// to RRI Ternate, as only an open carrier on 3344.86.

PAPUA NEW GUINEA. 3260, NBC Madang, 1206-1207*, Jan 3.
Pop song till suddenly off. For a long time now, this has been their
closing format, to just pull the plug, with no formal sign off.

BOUGAINVILLE. 3325, NBC Bougainville, 1109-1201*, Jan 9. 
Provincial news in Pidgin/Tok Pisin (item about "Department of
Education," etc.); DJ in Pidgin/Tok Pisin playing pop Pacific Islands
music; suddenly off without the recently heard formal sign off format;
unfortunately today's propagation favored both RRI Palangkaraya
and NBC, so they were mixing together for most of the time, with
NBC only slightly better at times.

orchestra music; still on at 1303.

INDIA. 4896.0, AIR Kurseong, occasionally this off frequency anomaly
happens, as it did today (Jan 9), as noted at 1242; Dave Valko also noted
same about this time; normally, on most days, heard on 4895.0.

INDONESIA. 3325, Pro 1 RRI Palangkaraya, 1109, Jan 9. Ending
the local news with usual patriotic song 釘agimu Negeri・(For You Our
Country); NBC Bougainville QRM, which was slightly stronger at times.

PAPUA NEW GUINEA. 3260, NBC Madang, 1202-1237*, Jan 9.
Running later than usual (normally off about 1206 or so); 1202-1206
NBC news in English; promo; DJ in English playing pop songs in
English; several on air phone conversations; mostly unreadable;
suddenly off in mid-song.

KOREA NORTH[non]. On Jan 11, on 6145, again heard the 
same special Shiokaze programming as heard on Dec 29
and originally recorded Dec 10. Preempted regular Shiokaze
programming. 1331+ with nice segment of easy listening
orchestra music ("Moon River," etc.). I suppose we should
be thankful to N. Korea for not jamming this entertaining
show.

KOREA SOUTH. 9100, Echo of Hope - VOH, briefly heard
at 1403, Jan 11, Very surprised to find them on the air at this
time, as their schedule is supposedly 1800-2400 on this
frequency. Once it was heard (not jammed), went to check
for //; yes, definitely // 4885, which was well heard as usual
and not jammed, while // 3985 // 6003 and // 6348 were all
jammed; news in Korean; when I tuned back to 9100 at 1405,
found they had already gone off the air. A brief test of some
type? Thinking of expanding their schedule?

Re: The death of the Chief Minister of Sarawak Ron Howard - Jan 12, 2017 20:21 UTC No.2049
MALAYSIA. 9835, Sarawak FM, via Kajang, 1537, Jan 12.
Chief Minister of Sarawak (Tan Sri Adenan Satem) passed
away yesterday; there will be seven days of mourning and
flags will be at half-mast, for this popular leader.

Heard mostly non-stop reciting from the Qur'an, with brief SA/IDs;
noted a recital by a woman, which is extremely rare, so I knew
something very unique was going on; certainly these recitals
are in honor of the late leader; still heard at 1629, with good
reception.

No other Malaysian stations were heard today, which has been
the case recently; no Asyik FM (6050) and no Wai FM (11665).

Re: The death of the Chief Minister of Sarawak Ron Howard - Jan 12, 2017 22:00 UTC No.2050
Thanks very much to Rob Wagner, who posted this to Facebook 
WRTH - "Thanks Ron. None of the usual FM music programming
noted at 2030 to past 2100. Just Qur'an recitations and no IDs
either. Jan 12."

Appreciate the feedback!

CHINA. 4940, Voice of Strait, 1507, Jan 14 (Saturday). English
program "Focus on China"; long item about winter fishing festival
in NE China; a break to play pop song ("Faded - Where Are You
Now"); SA/IDs "You are now listening to Focus on China, in Voice of
Strait Broadcast Station"; fair.

INDIA. 4894.9, AIR Kurseong, 1531, Jan 14. Seemed to be
on low side of their normal 4895.0; New Delhi audio feed of the
news in English

// 4760 AIR Port Blair (ANDAMAN & NICOBAR ISLANDS).

// 4910 AIR Jaipur.

// 4920 AIR Chennai, almost fair with QRM (TIBET - PBS Xizang).

4950 AIR Radio Kashmir, Srinagar (presumed) - only an open
carrier; never reached the level of any audio.

// 4970 AIR Shillong.

// 5010 AIR Thiruvananthapuram.

// 5040 AIR Jeypore.

// 5050 AIR Aizawl, QRM from Guangxi Beibu Bay Radio (CHINA).

// 9380 AIR Aligarh.

5050, AIR Aizawl, 1230, Jan 14. Amazing propagation that
completely blocked out Guangxi Beibu Bay Radio (CHINA)
which normally dominates this frequency; also a rare day
with strong signal from Aizawl; news in English; mostly
readable. Daily I check here, but have never heard
anything like today's reception. Audio from today at
http://goo.gl/ry8d9E . China did indeed fade up here a
little later.

1612-1630*; after China signed off, subcontinent music program
"produced by AIR Shillong," in English; SA/ID 典his came to you from
the North Eastern Service of All India Radio broadcasting from
Shillong"; local Aizawl SA/ID and frequency at sign off.

INDONESIA. 3325, Pro 1 RRI Palangkaraya, 1402, Jan 14. Local
news in Bahasa Indonesia; unusually strong signal, but QRN (static)
sounded more like summertime QRN (heavy); 1416 ending news with
the normally played patriotic song ("Bagimu Negeri"); very unique
propagation today strongly favoring RRI & AIR stations.

3344.85, RRI Ternate, 1505*, Jan 14. Off with the usual "Pulau Ambon"
(Island of Ambon)/"Love Ambon"; better than average reception.

MALAYSIA. 9835, Sarawak FM, via Kajang, 1212, Jan 14. Continuing
with mostly Qur'an recitals in honor of the late Chief Minister of
Sarawak; 1300 & 1400 breaks for 10 minutes of news in vernacular;
still on at last check at 1548, still with Qur'an recitals.

Still no other Malaysian stations were heard today, which has been the
case recently; no Asyik FM (6050) and no Wai FM (11665).

TAJIKISTAN. 4790, BBC Uzbek, 1316, Jan 14. Mixing badly with the
jamming by CNR1 (// 6125); schedule 1300-1330.

through subsequent checking till 0503, on Jan 18, found
them still silent, with no hint of a carrier.

Update from Bill - Angola back on the air, at 1745, on Jan 18.
Good news!

BOUGAINVILLE. 3325, NBC Bougainville, 1134-1202*, Jan 17.
DJ in Pidgin/Tok Pisin played EZL pop songs in English; 1201 start
of the NBC news in English; suddenly off. So today they did not
use their formal sign off format, but went back to business as
usual. RRI Palangkaraya not propagating, so no QRM.

CHINA. 6230, CNR1 jamming, 1231, Jan 17. There was a time
in the past when the PRC jammed almost all of Sound of Hope
programs, on a continual basis, but that is no longer the case.
Now it almost seems rare for them to bother to jam SOH. I daily
check this frequency and it is indeed very rare to hear SOH
jammed here, as it was today, with a very strong signal. Of
course also blocking VMW (Australia Weather West) also on
frequency here. Jan 18, back to normal, with no jamming of SOH.

RUSSIA. 7345 // 7295, Radio Sakha, via Yakutsk, at 0349, on
Jan 18, with sound of horses neighing, sound of galloping horses
and some Jew's harp (khomus) music; usual SA/ID at 0350, followed
by series of ads.

SOLOMON ISLANDS. 5020. Am no longer hearing any extended
broadcasts here (as of Jan 18), as I had noted late last year;
have been checking many days about 1230, but this year seems
no extended programming past 1200.

9545, SIBC, Jan 18, at 0438; DJ in Pijin playing pop songs and asking
a series of questions; "What is 60% of 300?"; read out list of people
who answered correctly; 0500 ABC news (RA: // 15240 [good] // 15415
[poor] // 17840 [very good]); SIBC suddenly off at 0501*, with RA
continuing.

Maybe after this month, this will be the only place to hear ABC news
on SW?

UNID. 3210-USB, on Jan 18, heard 1253-1256*. Daily I check here for
the return of the low powered Australian; a first for me today was to hear

Hi Wolfie,

Could it be that Myanmar's exact frequency transmitter (5985.00)
is having problems now, as you noted them off the air on Jan 20?
Could they have reactivated the old mothballed off frequency
transmitter, to fill in while they repair the 5985.00 transmitter?
Just speculating!

Jan 21, heard on about 5985.15, at 1441, in vernacular with on air
phone chat; seemed not nearly as strong as the exact frequency
transmitter; by 1541, very weak signal. Needs more monitoring
to determine what is happening here.

after one hour of listening, finally came up to mostly fair

was at 1506 UT (6:06 PM at Hargeisa), while my sunrise was at
1515 UT, so good greyline reception.

SUDAN. 9505, Voice of Africa, *1605, Jan 24. My three receptions
here have all been with different sign on times; today on with carrier
at decent level, but no audio; totally unlike yesterdays reception that
had good audio level for their clear French programming; today by
1621 had the impression there was some very faint audio, but so far
down within the open carrier that I could not guess at the language.

TAIWAN. 9100, Sound of Hope, 1445, Jan 24. Poor; not jammed;
// SOH on 6230 (also unjammed); in Chinese; clearly not Echo of
Hope - VOH, as it was not in Korean and not // 4885. As Glenn has
been pointing out recently in DXLD yg, we have to be careful as to
which station is being heard.

Re: Japan - low powered JG2XA HF-Doppler (HFD) Project Ron Howard - Jan 25, 2017 16:13 UTC No.2073
Have not checked on JG2XA for a long time, but Jan 25 could
not help but notice that one of their frequencies was clearly off
the air, that was 5006. At 1412 was in fact hearing CW on 8006,
but 5006 had no signal at all.

Last year I consistently heard a format of CW during a portion of
every minute, but not so today. Now there are many minutes (5?)
between their CW transmissions, with just an open carrier (dead
air) between the CW. A major change.

JG2XA transmits continuously with 200 W on 5006 kHz and 8006 kHz. The

CHINA. 5979, Gannan PBS, 1352, Jan 30. In Chinese, with
Chinese music; one of their best days so far since moving off
of ex: 5970. This indeed would seem to be a permanent change,
for whatever reason they did it.

ETHIOPIA. 7234.73v, Voice of Peace & Democracy (presumed),
0403-0415, Jan 30 (Monday). Very poor reception; seemed in
vernacular, with mostly monologues and a few brief selections
of non-descriptive music; by 0415 was totally unusable.

KOREA NORTH[non]. back to their former 5935, Shiokaze/Sea
Breeze via Yamata (Japan), ex: 6145. Jan 30, at 1315 (schedule
1300-1400); in stilted Chinese and no jamming; a check at 1343
had them in Korean for the second half of their broadcast; fair-
good reception, which now completely blocks reception of Tibet
(PBS Xizang), which can be faintly heard underneath Shiokaze.
Wish they would pick a clear frequency to move to!

RUSSIA. 7345 // 7295, Radio Sakha, via Yakutsk, 0501*, Jan 30.
Very good reception; IS with Jew's harp, pips (4+1) and more Jew's
harp music; suddenly off. Back to normal after broadcasting
yesterday's extended "futsal" match. Frankly, I had never heard of
this game until checking on the web - http://goo.gl/4Vw8Ta and
also http://goo.gl/0LQpDK .

ZAMBIA. 5915, R. One/ZNBC. Thanks to Bill Bingham (RSA)
for the alert they are back on the air again; Jan 30, at 0241 open
carrier with test tone; tone off a minute later; start of extremely
faint IS (African Fish Eagle); certainly not full power; 0244 very
dramatic and sudden improvement as they surely went to full
power; from very poor reception instantly up to fair; 0250 drums;
in vernacular and some African music; 0331* suddenly off the air.
Lusaka sunrise at 0356 UT (5:56 AM their time), so still with

now possible to hear this station that was rarely reported in the
past. Today with positive reception; above threshold level, but
not quite readable. Ideal reception for me, as my local sunrise
was at 1510 UTC.

Highlights:

1437-1445: monologue.

1445-1450: subcontinent music/singing.

1450-1457: another monologue.

1457-1512: beautiful selection of sitar music; all instrumental, no
singing at all.

1512: tones to start the audio feed from New Delhi (commercial
announcements, 1515 news in Hindi and 1530 news in English).

1512+ // 4760, 4810, 4895, 4910 (still just open carrier), 4920, 4970,
5010, 5040, 5050, 9865 (as usual, AIR Bengaluru was heard with ads

KOREA SOUTH. 5857.5, HLL2 Seoul. Thanks to Walt

daily, but rarely think to report on. Good signal, but audio
somewhat distorted.

Jan 31, at 1312, in English, with weather conditions at different
observatories around the country; providing wind direction, wind
speed in meters per second, air pressure in hectopascals and
temperature in Celsius; they have other segments in other
languages.

THAILAND. 8743-USB, Bangkok Meteorological Radio, 1341,
Jan 31. In English; marine weather for shipping; ending with their
address: "Telecommunication and Information Technology Bureau,
4353 Sukhumvit Road, Bangna District, Bangkok, Thailand 10260";
1342 played their IS; most days have fair reception; they have other
segments in other languages.

VIETNAM. 7906-USB // 8294-USB, Ho Chi Minh Radio Coast
Station, *1305-1310*, Jan 31. Starts and ends with the usual tones;
in Vietnamese; starts with ID and then marine conditions; both fair.
Has been a considerable amount of time since I last heard their
distress announcements in English, so assume there have been
no marine emergencies recently. Ho Chi Minh Radio is the most
powerful coastal station, so is usually well heard. Operated by
VISHIPEL (Vietnam Maritime Communications and Electronics

countless SA/IDs.

In my opinion, this station provides some of the best programming

Philippines, which I find very entertaining. My four minute recording

Re: Asia - Pacific DX log (9) Ron Howard - Feb 18, 2017 23:19 UTC No.2142
AUSTRALIA. 3210, test of Unique Radio on Feb 18, at 1300,
seemed that I was hearing a JBA open carrier that was not there
minutes earlier; well below threshold level; totally unusable;
subsequent checking through 1450 had extreme challenge to
even tell for sure if the open carrier was still there or not. My
conclusion is that this will probably be mostly unusable for us
in the States.

Seemed today was not an issue with propagation, as most days
Korea, on 3219.9 (5 kW), is just an open carrier, but today had
definite singing at 1451, so generally good propagation and
Korea on 3320 (100 kW) had the usual good reception.

CHINA. 4900, VOS (Minnan language service), still remains
here on Feb 18, at 1456, with fair reception. Hard to tell if this will
turn out to be just a temporary move from ex: 6115?

4940, Voice of Strait, 1500-1530, Feb 18. Saturday only English
program "Focus on China"; a filler (anomaly) program; not their
standard news format at all; audio from the CCTV documentary
"A Bite of China," segment "Inspiration for Change," about making
tofu, rice wine and soy sauce; one continuous announcer (native
speaker of English); no breaks for IDs; 1530 SA/ID in English - "This
is the Voice of Taiwan Strait News Radio"; mostly readable.

Believe some of the VOS staff must still be out on holiday, or would
assume they would have had their normal Saturday news format.

4990, PBS Hunan, 1402, Feb 17. Better than normal reception; "ni
hao," the standard Chinese phone greeting; many on air calls.

9575, CNR1 echo jamming of AIR, via Bengaluru, in Tibetan; Feb 17,
at 1247; scheduled 1215-1330.

MYANMAR. 5985, Myanmar Radio, 1538, Feb 18. Segment in
English; "the weather" (outlook for the next two days); "End of the
news from Myanmar Radio"; 1540-1555 with the Saturday program
天oice of ASEAN, Beyond Boundaries"; seemed to be produced by
PBS (Philippines), as the announcer was Edward Santos, who I have
heard many times over Radio Pilipinas, talking about relationships
between Malaysia and the Philippines; 1556 "Welcome to our program,
ASEAN News"; item about Cambodia, etc.; covered at 1600 by China
(CRI); mostly readable.

It will be recalled that Myanmar and the Philippines signed a Memo of
Understanding (http://210.5.104.56/treaty/scanneddocs/616.pdf).

BTW - 2017 marks the 50th anniversary of the establishment of
ASEAN.

SIKKIM. 4835, AIR Gangtok, 1457-1515, Feb 17. Nicely above
threshold level audio; at most times able to make out the language
used; 1457-1512 alternating announcers in Hindi; 1512 the usual
tone to start the New Delhi audio feed, with commercial announcements
in Hindi, till news in Hindi at 1515. Certainly one of their better days.

SOLOMON ISLANDS. 5020, SIBC. In Dec, noted many days with
extended broadcasting post-1200*, but in Jan, did not hear any and
now in Feb am again hearing some, but certainly not on a daily basis.

Feb 18, tuned in at 1303 to hear SIBC with extended airing of non-stop
pop songs ("My Boyfriend's Back," etc.); no SA/IDs heard, so clearly not a
Wantok FM relay; 1314 audio ended and went to dead air (open carrier),
which was still on at 1608. Very unfortunate that they ended the audio
early, while still keeping the transmitter on for many hours after that. Why
not just keep the audio going?

ZAMBIA. 5915, R. One/ZNBC, 1603, Feb 18. Via long path; mixing with
Myanmar(?); China (CRI) had already signed off; in vernacular; at times
almost fair.

& 1517-1537 and still on at 1550, Feb 19; being as it's Sunday, heard
with all contemporary worship songs in English (song "Broken Vessels -
Amazing Grace", etc.); only very brief SA/IDs - "Wantok FM 96.3. Good
times, great music" and "The hottest sounds . . . with the hottest DJs,
96.3"; mostly fair.

They must have read my comments yesterday - "Very unfortunate that

BANGLADESH. 4750, Bangladesh Betar - HS, on Feb 21; well

SA/ID and daily "weather forecast" in English; high today 31.2ーC, sunrise

INDIA. 6030, AIR Delhi (Kingsway - 250 kW), 1311, Feb 21. Unique
propagation here at this time preiod, as normally would have CNR1
mixing with Calgary (CFVP), not AIR; subcontinent music and
announcer in Hindi; underneath China.

SIKKIM. 4835, AIR Gangtok, on Feb 21, with unusually good
propagation; the best reception I have had here since ABC went
silent; 1508 with subcontinent music; 1512 switch over to audio feed
from New Delhi, starting with tone; singing ads in Hindi; 1515 tone
before news in Hindi. My audio at http://goo.gl/BDcirm .

SOLOMON ISLANDS. 5020, Wantok FM relay, via SIBC. Yes, Feb 21,
with yet another day of a long, extended broadcast; 1244, till past 1518;
strong signal during unique propagation; good reception at times; pop
songs (Bette Midler - "From a Distance [God Is Watching Us]," etc.);
short SA/IDs - "Listen non-stop, non-stop, 96.3," "This is Wantok FM 96.3.
Good times, great music" and "Listen to the hottest sounds . . . with the
hottest DJs, 96.3."

TAJIKISTAN. 4790, BBC Uzbek, 1302 and 1330* (almost 1331), Feb 21.
Poor, but about the best reception I have had here; good propagation, but
the usual heavy CODAR QRM; CNR1 jamming extremely faint; a long radio
drama; 1330 BBC SA/ID and pips. Not often I can actually make out the SA/ID.

INDONESIA. 4869.9, Pro 1 RRI Wamena, as it's Thursday (Feb 23),
time to check for "Kang Guru Indonesia." Yes, at 1239 the first "KGI" ID
and intro in Bahasa Indonesia, then on to English; KGI is "carried on
over 200 stations"; played a few pop songs; segment about rhyming
words; "Find a word that rhymes with soldier? . . . shoulder"; segment
"Good neighbors make good friends," about the importance of using
"Thank you and please" in Australia & Indonesia; about "cultural
differences"; better reception than usual, but still less than semi-
readable.

BTW - RRI Ternate (3344.87) not hear on Feb 23.

KOREA NORTH[non]. 5935, Shiokaze/Sea Breeze via Yamata (Japan),
1330, with Thursday (Feb 23) English. Intro to the repeated half hour show
that just aired; N. Korean jamming; both totally blocking reception of Tibet
(PBS Xizang).

KOREA SOUTH. 4885, Echo of Hope - VOH, 1415, Feb 23. Daily
heard with good reception and never jammed by N. Korea, as their
other frequencies are; as usual at 15 minutes after the hour, strong
"V O H" SA/ID.

6135, Voice of Freedom (clandestine). Normally blocked by strong white
noise jamming from N. Korea, but Feb 23, found VOF cutting through
the jamming fairly well at 1349, with a radio drama in Korean; so todays
propagation favored the south rather than the north. BTW - the KBS
station on 6015, was also well heard through the white noise jamming.

MALAYSIA. 6050, Salam FM, 1503, Feb 22. Islamic programming
(reciting from the Qur'an, etc.); in vernacular; many singing IDs; 1518
SA/ID with "shortwave" and "FM" frequencies; still on the air at 1524; fair-
good, with light QRM from Tibet.

MYANMAR. 5985, Myanmar Radio, on Feb 22 (Wednesday), at
1545, with "VOA American Stories, Learning English," with a dramatic
presentation of the story 鄭 Princess of Mars,・by Edgar Rice Burroughs.
Transcript and audio streaming at http://goo.gl/nxM1DU .

SOLOMON ISLANDS. 5020, Wantok FM relay, via SIBC, 1309, Feb 23.
Yet another day of extended broadcasting (now daily?); non-stop songs
(Lionel Richie - "Stuck on you," Men At Work - "Who can it be now?," etc.);
frequent brief SA/IDs; not as strong as yesterday; still on at 1410. Yesterday,
Yoshiyuki Ohashi (formerly active in SWL as "Peace-J") was also hearing

CHINA. 5979, Gannan PBS, 1344, Feb 27. In Chinese; ex: 5970 
still remains a clear frequency. This must be an intended permanent
change, as it has been about three months now since they moved
to this new frequency.

CONGO. 6115, Radio Congo (presumed), 0515-0518*, Feb 27.
Clearly hearing announcers in French underneath strong Japan
(SA/IDing as "RN2, Radio Nikkei"), but after 0518 certainly not on
the air through checking to 0545. Brazzaville local sunrise at
0505 UT. Seemed strange to me that they went off the air about
their sunrise. Perhaps I have been checking for them too late,
when I was looking closer to 0600 UT?

EQUATORIAL GUINEA. 5005.0, RNGE, R. Bata (presumed),
on Feb 27, noted decent open carrier at 0522 and subsequent
checking; never made out any audio; decent level OC past 0546.
No, do not believe it was Madagascar.

INDIA. 4870.27, AIR (Delhi-Kingsway), at 1357, on Feb 27, with
subcontinent music/singing; scheduled to be in Nepali; best in USB
to get away from RRI Wamena on the low side.

4970, AIR Shillong, 1506, Feb 26 (Sunday), with Christian songs;
1510 local SA/ID and news headlines in English; "please stand by for
the news"; 1512 start of the New Delhi audio feed.

Shillong is a hill station in northeast India and capital of the state
of Meghalaya. Christianity is the dominant religion there. In fact
Christianity is the major religion in three northeastern states
(Nagaland, Mizoram, and Meghalaya).

INDONESIA. 3344.86, RRI Ternate, 1445-1504*, Feb 27. Off
with the usual "Pulau Ambon" (Island of Ambon)/"Love Ambon."

MALAYSIA. 6050, Salam FM, 1505 till past 1518, Feb 27. Strong
signal, with good reception; in vernacular; many SA/IDs.

11665, Wai FM, with the Sunday (Feb 26) "Country and Western"
show; at 1534 with American C&W songs (Kenny Rogers - "The
Gambler," etc.); DJ in vernacular giving title to songs; good
reception.

PHILIPPINES. 17820, R. Pilipinas, 0231-0241, Feb 26. Only this
frequency very readable; // 15640 // 17700 not so readable. News
about the activities of the president and of tourism in the Philippines;
擢rom the presidential palace Manila, Dateline Malacang,・which
of course is the name of the presidential palace.

RUSSIA. 7345 // 7295, Radio Sakha, via Yakutsk. Feb 26 (Sunday)
noted at 0246, with their weekend schedule (0000-0500), as opposed
to the weekday schedule 0300-0500; pop songs; 0250 usual SA/ID and ads;
covered at *0258 by strong RRI sign on (IS), which is often not so strong
as today.

7345 // 7295, on Feb 27 (Monday), 0450-0500*; usual SA/ID and ads; music;
0500 IS (Jew's harp - khomus) and 3 pips; 7295 with much better reception
than normal, with 7345 still stronger.

SOMALILAND. 7120, R. Hargeisa, 1517, Feb 27. Call-to-prayer for the
Islamic Maghrib prayer, just after sunset; their sunset today was at 1514
UT (6:14 PM at Hargeisa), while my sunrise was at 1440 UT.

ZAMBIA. 5915, ZNBC/Radio One, 0500, Feb 27. In English with news,
sports, weather and government promo ending at 0512 and into vernacular.
Have found the length of the English segment varies daily, ending between
0512 to 0518.

Hello! Ron-san and Hiroyuki-san.
How are you today?
I'm feeling good because I just had a really good lunch in the morning after my grave-yard shift.

To Ron-san.
Regarding your audio KBS Hanminjok Bangsong on 6015 kHz from California, that sounds good! and nice catch & timing of not jammed!
The photograph of rainbow at Asilomar State Beach is very beautiful, too!

0700UTC time pips is 1600KST(JST) time pips. (4pm afternoon)
KST is Shoth Korean Standard Time, and it's same as Japanese Standard Time(JST).

I was able to confirm that SA/IDs in your audio.
The SA/IDs of Korean language is "KBS Hanminjok Bangsong e nyuseu ip nida." by male voice after the time pips.
This Korean language mean "This is KBS Hanminjok Bangsong's news."

"seoul jiguk gija" is Seoul branch reporter.

After 31 seconds, female anouncer says "annyeong ha seyo".

Pop Pacific Islands song; in Pidgin/Tok Pisin with info about "very
important document," "record of employment," "Bougainville Board
of Education"; 1126 PSA about the upcoming elections in June;
back to DJ with pop Pacific Islands songs till suddenly off in
mid-song, so they did not make it through to their normal 1200*;
better than semi-readable.

Only very light QRM from RRI Palangkaraya, which at 1113 played
the distinctive patriotic song 釘agimu Negeri・(For You Our Country),
but was far underneath NBC.

Seeing as PNG will be holding national and local government
elections this coming June, we can expect many more PSAs
and more info about the elections.

CHINA. March 9, a day with Voice of Strait anomalies. Timeline:

1212 - both 4900 (Minnan language service) and 4940 ("Voice of Taiwan
Strait News Radio") off the air. In the past, both had *1200 sign on times.

1248 - noted 6115 on the air (Minnan language service).

*1248-1249* - happened to briefly hear 4940 come on the air and go off.

1314 - found 6115 silent. So is the switch from 6115 to 4900 happening
now at 1300, instead of formerly at 1200?

1315 - heard both 4900 and 4940; both with strong OTH radar QRM.

Hi Glenn,

During my March 7 reception on 6015 (KBS Hanminjok Bangsong),
heard a phone report between a man and woman (00:21+ on my
audio), at 0714 UT. Thanks to input from Chulsu-san (Korean DXer),
via Amano-san and Hiroyuki-san, have learned the following about
that phone report:

"After 25 seconds [into my audio - Ron], female announcer says 'jayu
asia bangsong'. 'jayu asia bangsong' is Radio Free Asia (RFA).

After 29 seconds, female announcer says 'seoul jiguk gija'.
'seoul jiguk gija' is Seoul branch reporter.

After 31 seconds, female announcer says 'annyeong ha seyo'.
'annyeong ha seyo' is hello.

After 40 seconds, it is RFA Seoul branch reporter phone report.
He is male. He explained the fact that the US Trump regime began
full-fledged discussions on North Korea policy.

*KBS Hanminjok Bangsong has a cooperative relationship with UBS
National Unification Broadcast (formerly RFC), as well as RFA Korean

So very nice to receive such detailed analysis of my audio. Greatly
appreciate their kind assistance!

Thank you for reporting to DXLDyg, Ron-san.

6015 kHz cannot hear KBS Hanminjok Bangsong even in Japan hear because of influence of North Korean jamming.
This time it was a catch of nice timing from California!!!

Incidentally, with the medium wave of 972 kHz, there is no jamming from North Korea and you can listen KBS Hanminjok Bangsong clearly at night in Japan.

The rainbow of Asilomar State Beach in California was very beautiful too.

CHINA. 6115 switching to 4900, Voice of Strait, 1259-1300,
March 14. New time for changing frequencies (ex: 1200); 6115,
there till 1259, closing just before time pips; then 4900 starts up
just after the time pips, so they were off the air during pips; fair.
Believe must be the same for VOS on 9505 moving to 4940,
now at 1300 (ex: 1200).

5050, "Guangxi Beibu Bay Radio," 1400, March 12. Pips;
"The Beijing time is now 10 PM," followed by multi-language IDs
(English - "FM .?. Guangxi Beibu Bay Radio・ in the past was "FM
96.4," but hard to confirm that, as during the ID they play loud
background music); then in English "BBR Evening News" and
into the news in Vietnamese; fair with some AIR Aizawl QRM
on frequency.

JAPAN. 774, JOUB Akita (NHK-2), 1245, March 15. Start of the
"Rajio Eikaiwa" English language lesson, with "I'm Ken Toyama";
at times fair.

KOREA SOUTH. 4925, Korean Numbers Station V24, 1435,
on March 13. Tuned in to catch the end of classical music and
start of numbers in Korean; another day with good signal.

Hiroyuki-san continues to update V24 info at http://goo.gl/80GQFu .
Excellent!!

MALAYSIA. 9835, Sarawak FM, 1305-1326, March 14. Non-stop
speech about Sarawak, sounded like Prime Minister Razak; mostly
in vernacular, but with "No problem in Sarawak," "I believe in the
economy"; fair. Not // 11665 (Wai FM) and 6050 was silent (Asyik
FM); fair.

PHILIPPINES. 15640 // 17700 // 17820, R. Pilipinas, 0248, March 10.
"Singapore song from an ASEAN country," "Philippine Trivia"; mostly all
fair. During the winter, this normally was below threshold level, but am
now hearing them almost daily with readable signals.

Confirming the new time for changing frequencies (ex: 1200); 9505
going off just after the time pips; 4940 had carrier on and off a few
times till 1302 start of their audio.

INDIA. 4970, AIR Shillong, 1238, March 19. Strong signal; virtually
no modulation. Sad!

PAPUA NEW GUINEA. 3260, NBC Madang, 1207-1210*, March 19.
Seeing as it's Sunday, was checking for the usual "Island Praise"
show presented by Stacy Rose, with her syndicated (USA) show,
with pop Caribbean gospel music (reggae, soca, calypso, hip hop
gospel, etc.) and yes, it started at 1207 (somewhat later than usual),
with her very distinctive voice; only three minutes of her show. Up till
1207, NBC with their usual local programming,

PHILIPPINES. 15640 // 17700 // 17820, R. Pilipinas, 0318-0329*.
March 19. Talk about President Duterte wanting country to change
from unitary to federalism form of government, especially for
Mindanao; spot for ASEAN; closing SA/ID for "DZRP" (the only time
I have heard this callsign used in an SA/ID); choral National Anthem;
tones and off. Most days now am having decent reception on all
frequencies, so a nice change in propagation.

SIKKIM. 4835, AIR Gangtok, 1227-1235, March 19. One of their
best days; recently had unusable signals, but today nicely above
threshold level audio; subcontinent singing/chanting; 1230 news in
English and clearly // 5040 (AIR Jeypore); items about congress
and prime minister; cricket scores for India/Australia match; 1235
no longer //.

SOLOMON ISLANDS. 9545, SIBC (presumed), 0501*, March 19.
Very poor; just an open carrier; has been a while now since I last
heard this above threshold level audio at this closing time.

5020, SIBC, 1145-1201*, March 19. Christian hymn; ad for mobile
phone service in English; DJ in Pijin; evening devotional in English,
which was cut short at 1201*; recently no extended broadcasts.

ERITREA. 7175, VOBME 2 (presumed), on March 21. Thanks to
Thorsten Hallmann's alert in DXLD yg; 1438-1456 alternating
announcers (OM & YL); language seemed correct to be them;
HOA music/singing; clear of any jamming till *1505 start of
strong white noise (or DRM?) jamming, completely blocking
any usable reception; formerly the jamming always started
here about *1500-1501.

Last heard VOBME 2, on 7180 kHz., in late Dec. 2016.

No signal found today around 7146.55 (VOBME 1); to be sure
I checked after 1505 and heard no jamming, so safe to say only
one frequency in use today.

EQUATORIAL GUINEA. 5005, RNGE, R. Bata, on March 23,
the best reception I have had here in a long time! Open carrier
at 0516; suddenly at 0527 had African singing; Wolfie's "Hungarian
Gypsy violin Czardas music" and SA/ID at 0531; from 0533 to 0542
monologue in Spanish.

It was in DXLD 15-49, that Wolfie reported "at 0532 UT Hungarian
Gypsy violin Czardas music played," which I also happened to hear
at the same time back then, plus I also heard a "Radio Nacional" SA/ID
(my 2015 recording at http://goo.gl/hKlL8W of "Hungarian Gypsy violin
Czardas music" and SA/ID).

SOLOMON ISLANDS. 5020, SIBC, 1131-1201*, March 23. Pop
Pacific Islands songs; DJ in Pijin; ad in English with pricing for various
mobile phone data plans and also ad in Pijin for mobile phone service;
evening devotional in English, which was cut short at 1201*. Seems
they have again ended their extended broadcasts, at least for now.

ZAMBIA. 5915, R. One/ZNBC, on March 23, start of IS at 0241;
0415-0419, the often heard GOtv promo in English & vernacular;
0500-0515, news/weather in English (long item about Zambia and the
"ICC" [International Criminal Court], Zambian Air Force officer killed by
police, etc.); better than normal reception.

to Thorsten Hallmann for monitoring this, as well as Wolfie who
reported early on March 24 (UT), that Angola continues to be
silent.

Also thanks very much to Bill Bingham (RSA) for checking:

0041-0045. Nothing heard, no carrier found. Jo'burg sunrise 0413.

Would have expected to hear something at both times, even if
unreadable here in Jo'burg. Bill" (March 24)

BOUGAINVILLE[non-log]. 3325, NBC Bougainville. March 24,
at 1125, only one station here and that was Pro 1 RRI Palangkaraya,
in Bahasa Indonesia and with singing RRI jingle; NBC also not heard
earlier.

CHINA. 6060, Sichuan PBS-2. After recent monitoring, sorry to
report that this station has done away with the ToH SA/ID format that
they used for many years, that included the SA/ID in English ("Nationality
Channel. Sichuan, the People's Radio Station. SW 6060, 7225, FM
88.1"); first heard that English SA/ID back in May, 2013; the new format
is much more abbreviated than the old one. Checked a number of days
at ToH of 1100, 1200 & 1300. Will certainly miss their former distinctive
SA/IDs! (March 24)

KOREA SOUTH. 6015, KBS Hanminjok Bangsong 1, 1000, March 24.
Time pips; in Korean; hosted by Kwak Young Il, who is easily recognized
by his distinctive voice; intro with SA/ID for the program "Pops Freedom, KBS"
and slow SA/ID for "K - B - S"; playing some pop songs (Cyndi Lauper -
"Girls Just Want to Have Fun," etc.); usual series of three nice SA/IDs; first
by native speaker of English, second in Korean and third in English by
Kwak Young Il - "Now you are listening to KBS, Pops Freedom"; regular
segment "Everyday English" language lesson; poor, but cutting through
the ever present white noise jamming from N. Korea, and at times semi-
readable. Happy to find that this program is still being aired! Website

INDONESIA. 3325, Pro 1 RRI Palangkaraya, 1414, March 26.
At the end of their local news, gave SA/ID and played the patriotic
song, "Bagimu Negeri," which was composed in 1942, by Koesbini;
followed by SA/ID "Programa Satu RRI Palangkaraya"; unusually good
propagation, providing decent reception. My audio http://goo.gl/KEs00J .

3344.86, RRI Ternate, March 26, with outstanding propagation;
1313-1324 & 1334-1406; coverage of some event; a lot of back-
ground sounds; EZL music. My audio at http://goo.gl/5EDzQ4 .

KOREA NORTH[non]. 6040, a new alternate frequency? Never used
before? Shiokaze/Sea Breeze, via Yamata (Japan), ex: 5935, on Mar 26,
at 1328 was in Korean, but switched over to Japanese for the second
half of their schedule at 1330; good reception, with no jamming here,
as that was still down on ex 5935.

PAPUA NEW GUINEA. 3260, NBC Madang, March 26, a day with
outstanding propagation; at 1126 speeches and applause; in Pidgin/
Tok Pisin; preempted regular programs; "We come together to
celebrate ..."; 1154 back to regular programs; 1159 "NBC Madang"
SA/ID.

1205 - Stacy Rose SA/IDs her Sunday program: "You are listening to

ANGOLA[non-log]. 4949.74, R. Nacional de Angola, on March 27,
another day this station was silent; 0300 and subsequent checking
till 0357, with no trace of a carrier.

ERITREA. 7175, VOBME 2 (presumed), on March 27. A long
phone conversation 1445-1501; into HOA music till hit at *1502
with the start of strong white noise (or DRM?) jamming, blocking
reception; weak; some ham QRM, but not much. Nothing heard
around their other frequency of 7146.

KOREA NORTH[non]. 6040, Shiokaze/Sea Breeze, via Yamata,
continues to be free of N. Korea jamming on this new frequency,
on March 27, at 1331; scheduled 1300-1400.

6090, Shiokaze/Sea Breeze, on March 27, at 1406. In Japanese
with the usual segment "A message from the Japanese Government";
into what I assume was the programming of "Furusato No Kaze"
("Wind of Hometown") program (per Hiroshi), still in Japanese;
fair-good with no jamming, but faint CNR2 QRM far underneath.

SIKKIM[non-log]. 4835, AIR Gangtok. March 27, had my local
sunrise at 1400 UT. Gangtok was unheard, not even a faint carrier,
at 1357, nor later at 1506, on March 27. Unusual for them to be
off the air!

SOLOMON ISLANDS. 5020, SIBC format of extended program of
non-stop pop songs (The Angels - "My Boyfriend's Back," etc.), on
March 27, from 1333 till still there at 1505; started out fair, but slowly
went downhill; no SA/IDs or any announcements, so clearly unlike the
Wantok FM relay heard yesterday.

to 1500, heard with only open carrier; audio seemed to start at 1500;
HOA music till again hit at *1502 with the start of strong white noise
(or DRM?) jamming, blocking reception. Again nothing heard around
their other frequency of 7146.

INDONESIA. 9524.96, VOI, 1307, March 28. Surprisingly semi-
readable; end of "Commentary"; "Today in History" (2005 had 8.6
quake; 1979 had nuclear accident at Three Mile Island; 1999 had
146 killed in the Kosovo War); into "Focus." Not often that this is
heard so well.

MYANMAR. 5985, Myanmar Radio, 1319-1322, March 28. Special
live coverage of the AFC (Asian Football Confederation) Asian Cup
qualification soccer match; in vernacular; Myanmar vs India, being
held in Yangon; usual background sounds for such an event (crowd
cheering, loudspeaker, etc.); preempted regular programming; fair.

PHILIPPINES[non-log]. 15640 // 17700 // 17820, R. Pilipinas.
Recently had been hearing them daily with decent reception 0200+,
but March 28 they were off the air; none of their frequencies heard
with any trace of a carrier. Do not believe it was poor propagation.
Probably power outage, due to Manila now having very high
temperatures.

ROMANIA. 6180, RRI, 0456*, March 28. Looking for Brazil (still
off the air), but instead heard this with their new schedule (0400-
0456); fairly strong, so when Brazil returns, this frequency will be
a mess for an hour.

SIKKIM[non-log]. 4835, AIR Gangtok. March 28, continues off
the air; also confirmed silent today by Mauno Ritola.

SOLOMON ISLANDS. 5020, SIBC, 1146-1201, March 28. DJ in
Pijin reading many texted messages; pop songs; 1155 "Welcome
to our Evening Devotional"; "closing down" SA/ID & NA; much better
reception than normal.

1201, seamless change from SIBC programming over to the extended
broadcast of Wantok FM 96.3 relay of non-stop pop songs (Eagles -
"One of These Nights," Fleetwood Mac - "Landslide," etc.); frequent
SA/IDs ("Listen to the hottest sounds . . . with the hottest DJs, 96.3," "This

Hello! Ron-san,

I'm sorry for taking rather a while to reply to it.
Could you please forward this Answer for information on to Mauno-san?

Answer from Chulsu-san (Republic Korea):

Mr.Mauno and Mr.Ron, Thanks for your question.

I can hear bubble jamming in Seoul at 1584 kHz.
Meanwhile, the Chinese broadcasting station was also heard.
The following link is the received audio in Seoul.
Please listen to it.

2017/03/28 2309KST(1409UTC) MW 1584kHz Recevied in Seoul, Korea
http://k003.kiwi6.com/hotlink/3bckb0sedc/170328tue2309_Seoul_1584kHz.mp3
(03min15sec - 03min26sec 1575kHz, 03min29sec - 03min48sec 1593kHz)
I also recorded frequencies around 1584 kHz.
You can hear Chinese stations with 3 frequencies.

This is my personal opinion.
I certainly feel that North Korea is sending jamming waves at 1584 kHz.
But, there are few broadcasting stations targeted by North Korea to transmit jamming waves at 1584 kHz.
This frequency is used from South Korea is "KBS-1 Daejeon, Geumsan Relay Station" and "KBS-1 Jinju, Suncheong Relay Station" are two broadcasting stations.
Both broadcasters are 1 kW broadcasters, small power.
I think that North Korea is not sending jamming waves to these two stations.
Currently I think that it is difficult to identify where jamming is being sent from, and what the purpose is.

Best regards,

Chulsu

ERITREA[non-log]. 7175, VOBME 2, on March 31, checking 
from 1425 to past 1502+; looking for an open carrier or any audio,
but none heard; this was confirmed by the absence of any of the
usual white noise jamming, that recently had consistently been
starting at *1502, that is whenever VOBME was on the air. I
scanned this area 1502+ looking for any white noise jamming
(7146, 7175, 7180, 7185, etc.), but didn't hear any, so clearly
VOBME was off the air today.

CHINA. 5979, Gannan PBS, 1319, April 1. Has been close
to four months now since they moved from ex 5970 to this unique
frequency. It was Dec 3 that Hiroyuki Komatsubara (Japan) first
noted the change. Heard today in Chinese, with a weak signal.

SIKKIM. 4835, AIR Gangtok. After being silent for some days,
heard their open carrier on April 1, at 1256; another day of OTH
radar strong QRM, but the carrier was strong enough to cut through
it.

SOLOMON ISLANDS. 5020, Wantok FM relay, via SIBC, 1232,
April 1. Another day with an extended broadcast; non-stop pop
songs, with brief Wantok SA/IDs; still on at 1350, but gone by 1409.

SOMALILAND. 7120, R. Hargeisa, 1326-1340, April 1. Definitely
in English; only able to make out a word here and there; seemed
news till 1331; went to non-HOA pop music; 1340 the usual HOA
theme music to end this 20 minute English segment. My local
sunrise was at 1353 UTC.

VANUATU. 7259.96, R. Vanuatu. April 1, with much better than
normal reception; various amounts of QRM (hams, etc.).

Highlights:

1139-1155: Interview in vernacular; few words in English
("employment information").

1155-1158: Indigenous pop song.

1158-1203: Preaching (Christian) in vernacular.

1203-1229: Non-stop Christian religious songs, many in English.

VANUATU. 7259.96, R. Vanuatu. April 2 (Sunday), with the

as it's not often heard so well.

Highlights:

1134-1200: Syndicated Christian religious program in English -
"Tomorrow's World," talking about witchcraft, Halloween, the
occult, video games and Harry Potter.

1230-1300: Religious program in vernacular & religious music/
singing; nice organ music.

1300-1320: "Radio Vanuatu" SA/ID; drums & blowing of conch shell;
news in vernacular ("Vanuatu's foreign policy priorities"; cultural
exchange between Vanuatu & New Caledonia; Solomon Islands
government minister; etc.).

1320: "Sports News."

1332: Drums & blowing of conch shell.

1440-1453 & 1521-1528: EZL songs; strange they played several xmas
songs ("White Christmas," etc.). Surprised to be able to still hear them
this late.

CHINA. 9505, Voice of Strait (Minnan language service), 1300,

up a matter of seconds later. 6115 also switched over to 4940
("Voice of Taiwan Strait News Radio," as SA/IDed on Saturdays after
"Focus on China" English program [1500-1530]), which started

After almost three months of being on 4900, guess we can call this a
permanent change of frequency.

(their local ToH) format of singing SA/ID, giving three different "kilohertz"

local sunrise was at 1319 UT and their local sunset was at 1223 UT.

RUSSIA. 7345, Radio Sakha, via Yakutsk, 1226-1240, April 26. Doing

also hear R. Thazin (Myanmar) underneath; Russia lost out to the other
two stations about 1240. Unable to hear // 7295.

Somalia: Seven journalists quit Puntland State TV, coverage on the blink 
Aug 10, 2015 - Garowe Online

GAROWE, Somalia, August 10, 2015 (Garowe Online)-Seven journalists including editor and program producers ditched their jobs,
putting the coverage of Puntland State Television on the blink, Garowe Online reports.

In late September, state broadcaster staff members protested long overdue salaries, however.
Strikebreaking measures carried on by the presidency quelled the lag in the coverage.

Re: Puntland Radio 13800kHz SRI - Oct 13, 2015 06:21 UTC No.256
Puntland Radio was reactivated after short absense from October 8, 2015.


On October 12, It could be heard beyond 1830 (s/off until 1930).
On October 13, It can be already heard at 0535 under Radio Dabanga.
It inserted Radio program for short time in the middle of PLTV's relay.
It seems that their program for radio broadcast is still Somali music only.
We can be heard Puntland Radio's ID during this slot.

Fixed ID in Italian, English and Somali, were given at 1148 and 1211 on October 12, 0557 on October 13.

In Japan, it is difficult to hear Puntland Radio on 13800 kHz in this season.
We need the help of DXer and Remote Receiver in Europe for check it.
