Often I check here for AIR Port Blair during my mornings, but today was a first for me, hearing Africa via long path; no trace of AIR at all; certainly sounded like an African vernacular language; some religious songs; series of ads; seemed to be religious programs; my local sunrise was at 1413 UT. Positive was not India. My weak audio of preaching at http://goo.gl/Oecbc4 Re: Africa - not ELWA on 4760 kHz.

Playing the usual pop songs (Air Supply with "Even The Nights Are Better," etc.); frequent IDs ("This is Wantok FM 96.3. Good times, great music," etc.); off the air for several minutes about 1222; still broadcasting at 1303. UNID on 5020, with open carrier here today at 1436. Hiroyuki Komatsubara (Japan) has also been hearing this; the open carrier (no audio) is much weaker than SIBC is normally heard. TAJIKISTAN. 4790, BBC Uzbek, 1328-1330*, Oct 12. Another day with no CNR1 programming jamming; poor/CODAR QRM; off after time pips. VANUATU. 7260 (slightly on the low side), R. Vanuatu (presumed), 1237, Oct 12. Playing pop songs ("Easy Like Sunday Morning" by Lionel Richie, etc.); China QRM; checking 3944.2 after 1400 and surprised to not even hear an open carrier from them.

New program schedule. Starting in Feb 2014, through April 2016, I had enjoyed hearing the Radio Australia language lessons on 9730 (Myanmar Radio), on Monday and Wednesday. During April, I was no longer hearing this unique show. Oct 17 (Monday), finally found their new schedule for the R. Australia produced "English for Business," on 5985, from 1215 to 1235; "Lesson 16, A Presentation"; full transcript of today's show at http://goo.gl/RhAa0H ; believe their schedule for this program will be sometime during the 1200-1300 UT segment, on Monday and Wednesday. In the past the exact timing of these programs usually varied somewhat. It will be recalled that back in Nov 2013, ABC signed an agreement with Myanmar to share programming (full 2013 story at http://goo.gl/VVSOl8 ). Based on some of my recent observations, Myanmar Radio, on 5985, also has the following: VOA's Special English on Wednesday, during a portion of 1530-1600. NHK's "Friends Around the World" on Thursday and Friday, during a portion of 1530-1600. NHK also produces a radio drama in the Burmese language for Myanmar Radio, but am not sure of the schedule on 5985. Appreciate any corrections or additions.

JAPAN. 774, JOUB Akita (NHK-2), 1347, on Nov 29, with Chinese language lesson and of course also in Japanese; confirming that they still do have lessons in other than just English; almost fair and certainly is the easiest Trans-Pacific for me to hear. NEWFOUNDLAND. 6159.96, CKZN. The good news with Vancouver (CKZU) currently off the air is that this station can now be heard in the clear; Nov 29, heard 1035-1050 & 1129-1200; local times given, saying was the "same for most of Labrador," but I note was not the time in St. John's; local weather; school closures; sports scores; "part one" about the documentary "Power of the Sweatlodge"; story of a man trying to get help for his wife, but mental health facilities in "Labrador West" are not good; reception poor-fair. Very nice to hear them at a decent level for a change here on the west coast! SOLOMON ISLANDS. 5020, SIBC extended broadcast on Nov 29, 1310-1321, with non-stop pop songs (no SA/IDs), so not a Wantok FM relay; at 1321 the music stopped and they just had dead air (open carrier), which was still on the air at 1333 tuned out. TAIWAN. 9774.0, Fu Hsing BS (presumed). Extremely rare to catch them on this frequency! Nov 29, 1236-1300*; in Chinese with some music; at times below threshold level audio (but still open carrier); carrier went off at 1300*, conforming to their schedule. Their other 9410 blocked by CNR5, so unable to confirm //. VANUATU. 7259.95, R. Vanuatu, 1403-1518, Nov 28. Announcers in vernacular playing pop Pacific Islands songs and C&W songs ("Colder Weather" sung by Zac Brown Band, etc.); sounded like promo for "Voice of Bong Yumi"; some ads; 1420 several clear "Radio Vanuatu" SA/IDs; one of their better receptions; no China QRM, but slight ham QRM; my sunrise was at 1459 UT. 3944.2, after 1401, not hearing Radio Vanuatu at all; not even a trace of a carrier, which has been the case for a while now. "RN2, Radio Nikkei" (Japan) signs off on 3945.0 at 1401* (during weekdays). BTW - Guess I have not been paying enough attention to RN2 SA/IDs, as for a long time in the past they just gave "RN2," but now am hearing mostly "RN2, Radio Nikkei" SA/IDs, which are new to me.

As I am 72 and retired, every day is a vacation for me :) Ron California CHINA. new frequency 5979 for Gannan PBS (ex: 5970). Was first noted by Hiroyuki Komatsubara (Japan) on Dec 3. I observed them today (Dec 5), from 1314 till off sometime between 1346-1349, which corresponds to Hiroyuki's recent observations. Radio Marti (5980) is not much of a problem for me while in LSB. Expected to hear relay of CNR11 (per Aoki 1300-1400), but in fact clearly not // to 7350 (CNR11); by 1340 was able to confirm 7350 // 6010, due to unique Tibetan chanting being heard; 6010 (CNR11) is between the strong jamming on 6003 & 6015, so extremely poor reception there. Also unable to confirm Gannan PBS was // 3990, as there was only an open carrier there (unable to get any audio). 6035, PBS Yunnan (Voice Shangri-la), Dec 5 noted running past their normal sign off time 1200* by at least two hours; rare anomaly. Thanks to an alert from Dave Valko on the east coast (USA), I tuned in at 1254 to hear non-stop classical western orchestra music with many one minute breaks (dead air) between selection; this is normal for them when running past 1200; still on the air at 1402+.

Very nice to have them back on the air again, after being off for awhile; DJ playing xmas song "Joy to the World"; suddenly off; did not hear RRI Palangkaraya; poor. CHINA. 5979, Gannan PBS (ex: 5970). So for two weeks now they have continued to use this new frequency; Dec 16, 1331, sounded Chinese; best in LSB, but Cuban jamming of Radio Marti (5980) is a slight problem; ex: 5970 now a clear frequency. Dec 19, for the first time, able to make out 5979 // 3990, at 1317, in Chinese and playing EZL music. 7415, Firedragon (music jamming), 1636, Dec 18; fair-good against R. Free Asia. KOREA SOUTH. 5900, Numbers Station V24, 1606- 1608*, Dec 18. Numbers given in Korean. MADAGASCAR. 5007.68-5007.75v, R. Madagasikara (presumed), on Dec 18, with moderate drifting; 1457-1600*. Thorsten Hallmann has recently noted *1700v, so it looks like they are just off the air for an hour (1600-1700). Checked if they went to another frequency, but 7105 was silent (last heard during the 2010 World Cup football/soccer matches on a regular basis, but not since then) and unable to hear 6135, due to the jamming by N. Korea and broadcast of Voice of Freedom via S. Korea. MALAYSIA. 6050, Salam FM, 1510-1602*, Dec 17. Nice anomaly, as normally this is used as filler after 1500 till they suddenly pull the plug shortly after that; in vernacular; played a lot of EZL music; some phone calls; many SA/IDs; better than fair.

"The SWLing Post" : http://goo.gl/c5UQHB Daily NK : http://goo.gl/oJEBdo --------------------------------------------------------------------- "Regime intensifies signal jamming against foreign radio broadcasts" North Korea has been from the beginning of March continually signal jamming radio broadcasts on the shortwave frequency used by the South Korean non-profit broadcaster Unification Media Group (UMG). Given the present situation, in which North Korean residents might be influenced by outside information condemning the regime and explaining the purpose of the sanctions imposed by the United Nations, the regime has showed the will to block sources of outside information that might cause unrest. The shortwave frequency band in question, 7515Khz, has been actively jammed starting on March 1st making it extremely difficult for North Korean listeners to tune in. On the 15, UMG organization began using three receivers to test out reception at that and adjacent frequencies on a daily basis and was able to confirm that the exact signal is being jammed.
