*1252-1310*, July 24. Seems they have an erratic, abbreviated
schedule now; underneath a stronger CNR1, which had a lot
of singing, making BB reception difficult; 1305 tentative ID.
Thanks again to Mauno Ritola for his assistance with IDing
this short broadcast.
BOUGAINVILLE. 3325, NBC Bougainville. July 25 with a
very good day for PNG propagation; randomly 0904 till
off about 1205*; 0904 NBC news in English, with several
reports from "Port Moresby"; // 3260 (NBC Madang) till
end of news at 0914; pop hit songs ("The First Cut is the
Deepest" by Sheryl Crow, etc.); 0931-1000 in English,
taking about the government and with some speeches;
1003-1014 PNG bird call and NBC news (not // 3260);
1015 DJ in Pidgin with pop songs ("Free Fallin" by Tom
Petty, etc.); 1204 PNG bird call and news; gone by 1205
Very nice listening to PNG today!
CHINA. 6035, PBS Yunnan, 1200, July 24 ended their
regular programming; no ID at ToH, but went to non-stop
selections of classical western orchestra music; often with
one minute dead air between selections; no announcements
of any kind; still with classical music by 1223.
9545, CNR1. See TAIWAN.
KOREA NORTH[and non]. 5935 on July 24, they continue
to be jamming here at 1311, which causes heavy QRM for
Tibet and not for the intended Shiokaze, which was heard in
the clear on 5965, today in Korean with good signal.
PAPUA NEW GUINEA. 3260, NBC Madang on July 25.
A day of very good PNG propagation; randomly 0904-1219*;
0904-0914 NBC news in English (// 3325 NBC Bougainville);
1003 did not carry the NBC News; 1110 local news in Pidgin;
1119 & 1130 "NBC Madang" IDs; 1120-1130 announcements
in Pidgin; pop Pacific Islands music; 1204-1208 PNG bird
call and news in English (item about "UN envoy," etc.) (news
// 3325); 1208-1219* relay of "NBC National Radio," with DJ
in English playing pop hit songs (Elton John's "Sacrifice," etc.);
caller on the phone asked some political questions (sounded
like a contest?); suddenly off in mid-sentence at 1219; poor,
but at times semi-readable. A uniquely good day for them!
[non-log] 7324.95, Wantok Radio Light. Quick checked at
0903, July 25, to only find a clear frequency; this on a day
with very good PNG propagation; has been off the air for
a while now.
RUSSIA. 7345, Radio Sakha, via Yakutsk. July 25, started
at 0900 without any IS or time pips; subsequent random
checking till 1025.
Seems clear, at least to me, that they have reversed their
transmitter assignments; now 7345 has the much stronger
signal, while // 7295 is much weaker and mostly unusable.
There are some days now when R. Sakha is slightly stronger
than CNR1 on 7345, after 1100.
TAIWAN. 9410, Fu Hsing BS (presumed), heard during
a quick check at 0952, with music; poor. No hint of 9774.
Rechecked 9410 at 1026, but no signal by then. So their
transmitter continues to have serious problems.
9545, non-log of RTI. July 25 tuned in at 1051 expecting to
hear CNR1 jamming RTI, but instead only found a strong
open carrier; 1057 start of CNR1 jamming, but listening till
after 1105 heard no RTI, only CNR1. At 1221 also heard
strong CNR1 jamming here and still with no RTI, but at
1222 CNR1 went to an open carrier. Seemed as if maybe
they were checking the frequency for the presents of RTI,
which was not here today. Has RTI already abandoned
9545, due to jamming? Thanks to Dan Sheedy in DXLD
yg for his report of RTI & CNR1 jamming on July 23.

RUSSIA. 7345, Radio Sakha, via Yakutsk. July 26 was
another day of starting at 0900 without any IS or time pips;
subsequent random checking till 1119.
7345 continues to be several times stronger than // 7295,
which for a while around 1042-1050 was off the air, but by
1104, was back broadcasting again and still much weaker
than 7345.
TAIWAN. 9545, non-log of RTI. My observations yesterday
must have been correct; China was listening and found, just
as I also observed, that RTI was not broadcasting on the 25th.
So on July 26, found this frequency complete free of either RTI
or CNR1, with random checking 1000-1121. So it is fine now for
SIBC (Solomon Islands) to again have extended use of this
frequency, which they sometimes do have long after their
normal 0500*.

(Wed.). Recently have been checking here on Monday
(during 1030 to 1100) and Wednesday (during 1100 to
sign off), which in the past were the normal times I could
catch the Radio Australia programs in English ("English
for Business"), but they are no longer here. Instead just
normal programs in vernacular. Have they dropped RA
language lessons or simply changed the schedule?
BTW - 5985, Myanmar Radio, at 1133, July 27, with
coverage of a live sporting event (probably the Asian
Football Confederation match between Brunei and
Myanmar being held at this time); must have been a
TV audio feed, as there was very little coverage by
the announcer, who mostly only commented during
exciting happenings during the game.
RUSSIA. 7295 // 7345, Radio Sakha, via Yakutsk.
July 27 with anomaly reception; both frequencies doing
very well at 1050, with usual "Radio Sakha" ID and
chimes leading into series of ads; subsequent checking
continued to find them both with about equal signal
strength; this is a first for me, as normally only one or
the other is much stronger.
Received another email from "TV and Radio NVK Sakha"
<nvk-news @ mail.ru>) asking me
more about my shortwave receptions of their station and
indicating they want to interview me. Perhaps they think
I speak Russian, as I have corresponded with them in

Usual hour long program of "Pops Freedom"; scheduled 1000-1100;
mostly in Korean, but with English IDs and segment with English
language lesson; hosted by Kwak Young Il; playing pop songs ("Poor
Little Fool" by Ricky Nelson, etc.); series of three very nice 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";
usual segment "Everyday English" language lesson; poor, with the
usual white noise jamming from N. Korea, but was semi-readable.

TAIWAN. 9410, Fu Hsing BS (presumed). On Aug 8 (Monday), it
finally dawned on me as to a possible pattern here. Aug 1 and July 25,
both Mondays, I had reception here. Is it possible they only broadcast
on Monday? Heard this Monday, 0949-1000*; in Chinese; was expecting
them to come back on at 1100, but they never were heard after 1100; still
no sign of 9774. Needs more monitoring.

Ron Howard Aug 14, 2016 15:19 UTC No.1498 VANUATU. 3944.2, R. Vanuatu (presumed). Sunday, Aug 14,
as usual on the weekend, I checked this frequency to see if I can
hear the normal open carrier of RV that they leave on after usually
ending their audio programming about 1015* or so. On the weekend
Japan ("RN2") signs off at 0900*, leaving the frequency clear for RV.
Very surprised today when I tuned in at 1232 and heard definite audio;
YL announcer playing EZL music till 1300, when most likely news till
1311. Later checked at 1342 and had possible religious program and
religious music(?), but too weak to be sure; 1401-1407 seemed to be
news again. The whole time was not strong enough to make out
the language, but assume is RV based upon unique frequency and
clearly I was not hearing Japan. Extremely rare that I hear audio here
during this time period! My local sunrise was at 1325 UT.

Ron Howard Aug 15, 2016 15:42 UTC No.1500 Something new is happening with Radio Vanuatu. Seems
like a new schedule is now in place. Aug 15, on 7260, heard
them long after they recently had been ending their normal
programs, with audio stopping at about 1015. Second day
of their new extended schedule.
Today from 1326 to 1329, with C&W type songs; faint, but clear
ID for "Radio Vanuatu" at 1331; from 1335 to past 1400 seemed
like an OM being interviewed by YL, with him speaking at length;
poor, but positive is RV; QRM from China (PBS Xinjiang). Still
needs more monitoring to confirm just what
the new schedule is.

Thanks to Mauno Ritola for his input via WRTH Facebook:
"Yes, both fqs heard also today [Aug 16] at 1200 via Brisbane
remote rx."
and later:
"... and still going on at 1450, on both fq's. Is there some
bad weather situation?"
http://goo.gl/VbhLXn shows no unusual weather activity for
Vanuatu. The programming I have heard recently seemed to
just be their normal programming (non-cyclone/tropical storm
weather warnings), which is why it seems to me to be an
actual schedule change, but time will tell if it's temporary
or not.

(Thursday). Jakarta news relay // 3325, Pro 1 RRI Palangkaraya
and // 3344.86, RRI Ternate; ending at 1227 with patriotic song;
after which no longer //; 1229 "Programa Satu RRI Wamena" ID.
1235-1303, with the Thursday only edition of Kang Guru Indonesia
("KGI") in mostly English, but a few short segments in Bahasa
Indonesia; much stronger than normal reception; QRN (static);
still tough to make out a lot of what was said; many KGI IDs;
one listener told of collecting "KGI Magzines" since 2008;
segment "Good neighbors make good friends," discussing
differences between Australia and Indonesia as to whether
to walk or ride.
Recently it has become clear that a major change was happening
at KGI. Their extensive website was recently drastically downsized.
Seemed like the Indonesia Australia Language Foundation (IALF)
was taking over. At the KGI website, I see that KGI has now
completely stopped producing any new radio programs.
The final show was produced back in June. The program heard
today was an earlier production. We can only hope that RRI stations
will continue to recycle these older programs well into the future.
Have listened to these programs going back to when it was Kang
Guru Radio English ("KGRE") and even before that with "Kang Guru II
Radio English," in 1976, when Greg Clough was the original "Kaptain
Kang Guru." Am sad that they will no longer have any new shows.
Has been very entertaining listening to them over these past 40 years!

Aug 26 is a national public holiday in PNG, so special NBC
happenings for "Repentance Day," a religious holiday. Heard
3325 (NBC Bougainville) from 1151 to about 1239*, with a
double anomaly; first there was no "News in Brief" at 1201
(extremely rare!) and secondly running well past their usual
recent sign off time. https://anydayguide.com/calendar/2383
Highlights:
1151-1159: Interview in Tok Pisin/Pidgin.
1200: "11 o'clock"; ID; montage/promo for "NBC Bougainville";
another ID with frequencies; music.
1206-1239: Religious program in Tok Pisin/Pidgin; asked five
questions regarding the Bible (given in English, "#2 - In the
Bible, who is the oldest man?"); questions frequently repeated;
listeners told to write down the five answers and to call in to a
number that was given; several live on air calls from listeners
answering the questions; played religious music. Seemed to
go off at 1239*, as after that I seemed to just be hearing Pro 1
RRI Palangkaraya.
BTW - NBC Madang (3260) was off the air today at 1136 and
subsequent checking. Hiroyuki Komatsubara (Japan) agrees,
as he found no signal at 1030, on 3260, but he was hearing
NBC Madang at 0945, with a good signal, so they went off very
early today.

strong open carrier, very weak modulation.
SOLOMON ISLANDS. 5020, Wantok FM relay via SIBC, 1312-
1330*, Aug 26. Unlike my Aug 24 reception here with no IDs, today
no question as to who was providing the programming; frequent IDs
("This is Wantok FM 96.3. Good times, great music" and "The hottest
sounds with the hottest DJs, 96.3"; mostly pop songs ("Saturday Night"
by the Bay City Rollers, Dierks Bentley with "Drunk On A Plane," etc.).
I love it when they run past their usual 1200* sign off! My local sunrise
was at 1334 UT.
9545, SIBC. RE: Glenn's comment in DXLD yg: "Someone said the
normal schedule is until 0800 before switching to 5020, but I think
not, as usually no signal audible after 0500. No doubt they are
flexible as to QSY time (Glenn Hauser, OK)."
Glenn is correct, most times that I have checked, found similar to this:
Aug 22, heard 9545 doing better than usual 0400-0501*, mostly in Pijin
with pop songs; many ads in English for hardware supplies and general
contractor; 0500 start of news in English with sound bite from the Olympics;
suddenly off. Believe more often than not, sign off is about 0500.

Ron Howard Aug 28, 2016 01:41 UTC No.1537 SOLOMON ISLANDS. 5020. Seems logical to conclude from
my recent observations that there are in fact two distinct formats
being used here during the extended scheduling that goes beyond
the usual 1200* sign off.
Today (Aug 27) and Aug 24, heard programming with no IDs at
all, none whatsoever, but have to believe was actually SIBC
programming and not a Wantok FM 96.3 relay. Today 1207-1245*,
with pop songs in English (Whitney Houston with "I Wanna Dance
With Somebody," etc.); series of ads ("Silentworld for shipping of
cargo, with dedicated shipping bay. Ship with the professionals
today, for transportation of passengers and cargo. All Silentworld
vessels are certified to stringent international standards" and their
website has a nice map at goo.gl/44nPtu showing their deliver
routes to the various islands that make up the Solomon Islands;
also ad for "Mobile One"; etc); suddenly off.
Whereas yesterday (Aug 26) heard a very different format 1312-1330*;
numerous IDs, usually between every (or every other) pop song played;
often with these IDs: "This is Wantok FM 96.3. Good times, great music"
and "The hottest sounds with the hottest DJs, 96.3", so no question this
format is in fact a Wantok FM relay; very different from the SIBC format.
Anyone else conclude the same? Appreciate any additional
comments, observations or corrections. Thanks.
Wonderful that they have recently been carrying more of these two types
of formats for their extended programming past 1200.
VANUATU. 3944.2, R. Vanuatu (presumed), 1250 on Aug 27 (Saturday),
noted decent level open carrier with audio just hovering at the threshold
level, with announcer and music; some ham QRM; so they are continuing
with their recently expanded schedule; by 1338 they had switched to
delayed sports coverage (assume delayed, as it would be 12:38 AM
their local time); strong background noise from the roar of the fans at
the game (very noticeable and not heard earlier), with announcer giving
coverage; poor; some slight improvement around my local sunrise at
1335 UT. ID'ing it solely on the basis of the unique frequency; never
strong enough to actually hear an ID.
This weekend reception only possible with the weekend schedule of
Japan ("RN2") signing off on 3945, at 0900*.

ready to jam the upcoming BBC Uzbeck sign on *1300; CNR1
clearly // 6125.
6185, CHBC (presumed), on Aug. 29 tuned in at 0932 to a decent
level open carrier; audio started suddenly at 0953 with announcers
chatting in Chinese; 0957 pop music; ToH time pips. Not often I
report on this, but in fact is heard just about on a daily basis. For
some reason this is rarely reported by other? I still treasure my
CHBC QSL card ( goo.gl/90wg0F ), from Jonathan Short.
MALAYSIA. 6050, Asyik FM, via Kajang. Aug 29, not a good day
here; nice audio at 1004, but several times later found with only
open carrier and no audio; then at other times with audio back up
to a good level; erratic.
PAKISTAN. 7265, Azad Kashmir Radio (very tentative), 1217-1230,
Aug 29. Would like to think this was AKR that I was hearing; extremely
faint audio that sounded like subcontinent music; unable to make out
the language of announcer; totally covered by strong CNR2 sign on at
*1230. Am encouraged to find any audio here. Needs more monitoring.
Thanks very much to Dave Valko for the reminder to check AKR, as he
heard them via a remote in Qatar.
PAPUA NEW GUINEA. 3260, NBC Madang, 1139-1206, Aug 29.
A good day here; pop Pacific Islands music; 1200 PNG bird call and
"Good night. NBC News in Brief" ("Police in East New Britain have
arrested and charged a man with murder following the death of ...";
Australia seized 95 kilograms of cocaine aboard a cruise ship in
Sydney harbor; "forecast," showers and thunder showers). Always
nice to find semi-readable reception here.
[non-log] 7324.95, Wantok Radio Light. Checked at 0925, Aug 29.
Continues their long standing silence.
RUSSIA. 7345, Radio Sakha, via Yakutsk, on Aug 29, with open
carrier at 0858; audio started 0900 with ID and into the news; did
not have IS nor time pips; today clearly this was the higher powered
transmitter.
SOLOMON ISLANDS. 5020, SIBC, 1208 and subsequent checking
through 1238, Aug 29, heard strong open carrier with no audio at all;
by 1312 was off the air. Are they experimenting with a possible new
schedule here or what?

Ron Howard Aug 30, 2016 05:54 UTC No.1545 Malaysia - Aug 30 "National Day Message"
Last year on Aug 30, I listened to a major speech given by the
Malaysian PM Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak. Some of my audio
from last year at goo.gl/NB1j1C , with some English, but mostly
in vernacular.
This year he will again give a "National Day Message" at a
gathering at Merdeka Hall, Putra World Trade Centre, in Kuala
Lumpur. This important event will start at 1300 UT on Aug 30.
Last years coverage was via 6050 (Asyik FM) // 9835 (Sarawak FM)
// 11665 (Wai FM), all via Kajang. This years special broadcast
should also be via the same stations.
Full story at goo.gl/mHdS5H .
"He said leaders and public figures would be invited to attend
the event which would start from 9pm. [1300 UT]
Besides being broadcast live on local television as well as radio
be streamed live via the Bernama web, Zulkefli added.
He said the event would start with singing of the national anthem
'Negaraku', video clip display as well as recitation of prayers
by renowned speaker Datuk Kazim Elias....
The National Day Message was among the programmes being drawn
up for this year's National Day celebration..."
Re: Asia - Pacific : DX log (6) -
Ron Howard Aug 30, 2016 16:22 UTC No.1546 Aug 30 - Yes, the PM did indeed address the nation of Malaysia.
Tuned in at 1311 to hear the speech already in progress on 9835
(Sarawak FM) // 11665 (Wai FM). Unfortunately 6050 (Asyik FM)
had another day of only strong open carrier (no audio from them,
but very faint audio underneath the carrier from probably Tibet).
Speech mostly in vernacular, with sprinkling of English words
("Global economy . . . global competition . . . Moments of Unity")
Briefly in English, goo.gl/yq41K5 . Speech ended at 1354
and stations then no longer //. News item - goo.gl/OnbGP3 .

Now there is an interesting story of an American student that was
kidnapped by North Korea back in 2004 for that purpose. Full story
at http://goo.gl/uZL5oW .
"An American student reported missing during a 2004 hiking trip
in China was kidnapped and forced to teach English to North
Korean leader Kim Jong Un, authorities say.
David Sneddon, a Brigham Young student, disappeared at the
age of 24 in Yunnan Province in what Chinese police said was
likely a hiking accident.
But the body of Sneddon ・who spoke fluent Korean ・was
never found and his parents were suspicious....
According to Choi Sung-yong, head of South Korea痴 Abductees・
Family Union, Sneddon has been found living in the North Korean
capital of Pyongyang, where he works as a school teacher. He
reportedly is married and has two children.
North Korea has a long history of kidnapping foreign nationals,
and Sneddon痴 parents believe their son was targeted because
he served on a Mormon mission in South Korea, where his
language skills became known...."

for exact frequency), AIR (Delhi-Kingsway), 1350 with
subcontinent singing; of course best in USB to get away
from RRI Wamena, which I made out to be on about
4869.88, so the AIR off set is a help to their reception.
Do not recall AIR off frequency before?
RUSSIA. 5900, R. Rossii via ?, *1000, Sept 4. Transmitter
suddenly on, quickly followed by audio; news and ID; audio
was not very good, as there was some type of hum/noise;
not sure if just my local problem or not, so more monitoring
needed.

security and local markets; etc.); "sports news" (New Caledonia

Ron Howard Sep 14, 2016 14:01 UTC No.1628 For my Aug 22 reception of the reactivation of Asyik FM,
received a nice e-QSL card (also sending via post). Also
confirmed Wai FM (which was actually relaying
"Limbang FM"); nice stamps. http://goo.gl/6IDvO0 .
Received from v/s:
Sharimah Abu Bakar <sharimah @ rtm.gov.my>
Jabatan Penyiaran (RTM)
Batu 13, Jalan Cheras,
43000 Kajang, Selangor.
Tel: +60 3 8736 1530 / Fax: +60 3 8736 1226
Unfortunately seems Asyik FM (6050) is now again silent.
Not heard Sept 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14. Now only Tibet
being heard on 6050.
