David Kernick @DXLDYG & WRTH https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/dxld/conversations/messages https://www.facebook.com/groups/wrthgroup/ ---------------------------------------------------------------- Radio Afghanistan external service in English was observed on 6100 kHz at 15:30 UT today (26 October 2016) with very poor reception via a WebSDR remote receiver in Israel. It had disappeared from there when I checked again at 15:45; not sure if it had faded out or the transmitter had gone off air. Initially, I monitored the service via the live stream of Radio Kabul [Radio Afghanistan's local service for the capital] on the Radio Television Afghanistan website (http://rta.org.af), noting it announced 6100 kHz and Radio Kabul's 93.0 MHz frequency. An Urdu broadcast followed at 16:00 UT, announcing mediumwave and FM frequencies, but the stream crashed at 16:15 (and remains offline as of 17:30 UT) and nothing was heard on 6100 kHz, so I'm not sure when the programme finished.

Random listening 1120-1333. Highlights: 1120 - Just missed their start up (normally starting closer to 1130); noted // 9730 (which normally signs off about 1130, but that was not confirmed today). 1130 - The usual station's song ("kilohertz ... kilohertz ... kilohertz ...Radio") and indigenous theme music. My audio at http://bit.ly/2ZNSjRv . 1320 - "Learning English with BBC, Burmese"; fairly readable. Frankly this series of language lessons is boring! Formerly Myanmar carried "Say It In English" series about the light hearted misadventures of "Tom," that made for some enjoyable listening, but not so with the BBC series.

What was interesting today was the fact that the Voice of Indonesia carrier was also off the air. So 3325 had no station at all there today; completely clear frequency. We can only hope that maybe Palangkaraya is working today to correct the long standing problem of no audio?

Korean jamming spur was already on the air here, causing heavy QRM, which was on during all of my listening today. 1100-1110: News in English (unreadable). 1110-1200: DJ in English playing pop songs (Eagles with "Take It Easy," etc.) and giving phone number to request songs. The usual segment 1120-1134 with announcers; the normal *1139 sudden start up of FM99, via PBS Yunnan. 1200-1216: Monologue in vernacular. 1216-1220: Unique indigenous stringed instrument music. 1220-1242*: The usual Sunday karaoke type program with children calling in and singing over the phone with no music; suddenly cut off. After BBS closed down, only FM99 and jamming heard here. My brief audio a https://app.box.com/s/02lyasd35j23bbd1g7l8x53obsw75fiq . Ron California Re: Asia - Pacific DX log(21) :: May/01/2019 ~ Ron Howard - May 06 (Mon), 2019 15:18 UTC No.3974 BHUTAN - May 6 - After three days of extended BBS schedule on 6035 kHz., today back to a more normal cut off time; 1142, pop western songs (Ray Charles, etc.), but with serious transmitter problems, with audio quickly cutting off and on repeatedly; after 1150 not heard again, leaving just FM99 and strong jamming spur. INDONESIA. 3325, Voice of Indonesia, via RRI Palangkaraya, on May 6, suddenly on at *1058. Amazed to actually hear some audio; at first unable to make out the language, but by 1105, clearly in stilted Chinese; mostly poor to very poor reception; only rarely able to determine the language; 1218, decent audio with Japanese, but again only briefly heard at a useable level; 1259, went to English, with the news (item about the start of Ramadan, etc.); overall unusable, but definitely with audio today, the first time in quite a while. This improvement due to Ramadan? The bad news here is that through May 6, NBC Bougainville has been silent now for a while VIETNAM. 7155, VOV, on May 6, tuned in to hear French, just as the audio ended at 1327, with transmitter off at 1329; didn't have time to check // 7285; strong signal today; better than I have ever heard them here.

This has been rather a long time for them to be off the air! INDONESIA. 3325, Voice of Indonesia, via RRI Palangkaraya, on May 15, from 1302+, in English; slightly better than yesterdays reception; same format; 1312, "Commentary" about USA/Russian relations; 1315, "Today in History" (this date in 1972, Okinawa returned to Japan, etc.); my sunrise today was at 1300 UT. Ramadan - Recently checking the various RRI sites (Ternate, Wamena, Merauke, etc.), but found nothing reactivated. KOREA SOUTH. 4885, Echo of Hope - VOH, 1240, on May 15 (Wednesday). Very good reception of the podcast program "Easy English," which was in English and Korean; announced as a "Friday" show. PAPUA NEW GUINEA. 3260, NBC Madang, (Maus Blong Garamut - Voice of Indigenous Drums), 1152-1210*, on May 15. Mostly pop Pacific Islands songs, except for surprising religious (Christian) spot by an excited preacher in English; reception well above the norm. Madang is now running some commercial announcements.

This is a HF-Doppler (HFD) Project. My audio at http://bit.ly/2HkQ68V . Assume this is still a low powered station as it was in the past (200 watts?).

Korea jamming spur, but BBS was holding up fairly well through the QRM. Today was one of the better days for BBS reception! INDONESIA. 3325, Voice of Indonesia, via RRI Palangkaraya, on May 16, at 1025, nothing heard here (no NBC Bougainville) and no VOI carrier; at *1053, VOI carrier came on, but no audio today; still no audio being heard through 1215. So was fortunate that I had two days of decent reception, with readable audio.

On May 27, at 0925 UTC, Solomon Islands had an earthquake. So SIBC increased the audio level today and extended their broadcasting time well past 1200; from 1154 to 1201, with the usual "Evening Devotional," closing ID in English and National Anthem; 1201-1316+, over an hour of non-stop pop songs in English, with never any announcements or SA, so assume this was not a Wantok FM relay, which in the past was noted with frequent SAs between the songs, whenever running past the normal sign off time (1200*). All I usually hear is a carrier, with no trace of any audio, so today was a treat for me! Earthquake info - http://bit.ly/2YOqUO7 .

Today is Pancasila Day, a public holiday that celebrates the birthday of Pancasila, the state ideology of Indonesia. Was the audio at above average levels today due to holiday?

CHINA. 6035, FM99 relay via PBS Yunnan, after being off the air for close to a month, finally heard again on June 6; first noted at 1144, so start up time (programming already in progress) probably was about *1140, as it was in the past; heavy QRM from N. Korea jamming spur from 6045; at 1200, with pip times that were almost a minute late; then the usual station's singing jingle, with clear "Radio Shangri-la"; followed by the spoken station's slogan in English ("Flying with the heart, traveling with the sound of Shangri-la"). On the one hand I'm happy to find them active again, but on the other hand, now BBS (Bhutan), also on 6035, will have to contend with some serious QRM whenever they run past 1140. My audio at http://bit.ly/2It5tvH . EAST TURKISTAN. 7260, Xinjiang PBS (presumed). Seems to me there are three active stations here; one is Mongolia, the other is this PBS and am also clearly hearing CNR1 (// 6125); making for a mess; on some days propagation favors Mongolia, but that varies on a daily basis; on June 6, heard at 1245. INDONESIA. 3325, Voice of Indonesia, via RRI Palangkaraya, June 6, was a day of the Idul Fitri (Lebaran) holiday (ending Ramadan), so after 1101, heard VOI with decent audio level in Chinese; at 1209, clearly in Japanese. So it takes a public holiday for them to boost the modulation level? JAPAN. 3945, "RN2." When is their sign off time now? No longer 1400? On June 6 (Thursday), already off the air at 1255. MALAYSIA. 11665, Wai FM via Kajang, June 6 (Thursday), from 1315 to 1400. Sounded like they had problems with the modulation (heard crackling sounds and not from any adjacent station); decent signal; was checking for the Thurs. segment of "Wai - Limbang FM" as heard in the past, but clearly that was not on today. Perhaps different schedule regarding Ramadan? Needs more monitoring, especially now that their signal strength has returned to normal; clear "Wai FM" SAs; 1330-1358, Qu'ran/Islamic chanting; went off the air close to 1400; at 1400, CRI started on 11660, with very heavy QRM for 11665.

Today by 1130, clearly heard the two stations (BBS & FM99) mixing together; the N. Korea jamming spur started *1147; unable to confirm when BBS went off the air. If this earlier timing for FM99 continues, it will make BBS reception just that much more of a challenge! Perhaps just a one day event?

For a long time now I have routinely checked here between 0430 and 0500, as it was several years ago I often heard SIBC till 0500*, but not heard for a long time now, so a very nice surprise today to tune in and hear some definite audio, with a signal that very slowly improved; could not make out the language and no ID, but am fairly certain it was SIBC, returned again; announcers playing pop songs; sounded like a commercial announcement or PSA; cut off in mid-song; in the past their normal closing down time was 0500*; heard today with a normal audio level, unlike 5020, which has virtually no audio here in California. Honiara sunset at 0710 UT. Perhaps an Australian/New Zealand DXer can make a positive confirmation?

Re: Asia - Pacific DX log(21) :: May/01/2019 ~ Ron Howard - Jun 29 (Sat), 2019 02:14 UTC No.4040 Hi Mauno, In past years, I was never able to hear 5020 kHz., about 0500 UTC. That frequency doesn't open up for me till later, so didn't check yesterday for any overlap there. Here in California, I have found in the past that the best reception of SIBC on 9545 kHz., was when they ran well past their normal cut off (about 0500*), which does happen from time to time. This often happens when Solomon Islands has especially bad weather and SIBC provides weather info on 9545 kHz. My enjoyable audio from back in 2014 - https://app.box.com/s/9ukldjtpmunwbfcqdf2f .

I last reported hearing this back on April 28; had been unheard since then until today (July 7); tuned in at 1110, to hear Voice of Indonesia, in Chinese, with NBC underneath; Sunday religious music/singing and in Pidgin, as normally heard in the past; mixing with VOI, which was stronger the whole time; NBC cut off at 1200*. Was unfortunate NBC reactivated on a day that VOI had a decent audio level, unlike most days VOI has no audio at all. Great to hear Bougainville again! Am sure that with better propagation and VOI with only a carrier, that NBC will be heard with some decent reception again (Ron Howard, Asilomar State Beach, CA, Eton E1, antenna: 100' long wire, WOR iog via DXLD) MYANMAR. 5985, Myanmar Radio, 1256, July 6. Fair reception of their typical indigenous music/singing. My audio at http://bit.ly/2L5Tg3s . 7345, Thazin Radio, via Pyin Oo Lwin, 1215+, July 6 & 7. Normally this frequency is totally covered by a strong CNR1, but that has been off the air for two consecutive days; July 7, from 1242, call-in show in vernacular and pop songs; weak signal, but now a clear frequency for them. When will CNR1 return, again destroying Thazin's reception?

Also heard NBC Madang (3260 kHz.) today, so back to having two active 90m band PNG stations. Have for a long time now routinely checked this band for any new PNG activity, but now am only hearing Bougainville and Madang, so no really new sites reactivated. July 8, tuned in at 1158 UTC, to hear a strong CNR1 on 7345 kHz. Strange they would be off the air for only two days. No chance today of Myanmar reception.

His function at VOA is not usually to send out QSL's, therefor I will not distribute his email address, so he will not be overwhelmed with requests.

Might be of interest? KOREA SOUTH. 6015, KBS Hanminjok Bangsong 1, on Feb 24, at 1003. As usual had some white noise jamming from N. Korea, but fortunately not too strong today; was checking for the usual "KBS, Pops Freedom" show that I have enjoyed for many years (since 2015), during the 1000-1100 time period; during all the years was always hosted by Kwak Young Il, but today clearly no "Pops Freedom" show from 1003+. What happened? A check of their website shows the program has changed the broadcasting time and per audio streaming there, no longer with Kwak Young Il, as the announcer, but instead hosted by young woman (http://program.kbs.co.kr/scr/radio/popsfreedom/pc/); website shows program time of "3:00 - 4:00" (?). I will certainly miss the program with Kwak Young Il, as he had such a distinctive voice and had a fun time playing good pop songs in English.

On April 5th on 11575 kHz, but on the March 6th on 15140 kHz. It seems like Tigrinya when starting, Arabic in the second half. The station called Radio Erena already appears at 9720 kHz, it seems to be the same station. The morning broadcast may have been added. Although 9720 kHz is Bulgarian transmission, 15140kHz is highly likely to be a separate site. At 15140 kHz on 6th, carriers continue to run after the end of 0400, BBC Persian language from 04:01:35.

Mostly playing pop songs; several segments with no audio (just the DJ being inattentive to the music?); *1140, the usual sudden start up of PBS Yunnan, with FM99 relay BBS, on March 4, noted cut off at 1134* and at *1140, the usual sudden start up of PBS Yunnan, with FM99 relay. CHINA. 6035, PBS Yunnan, relay of FM99, March 5, suddenly on at *1140; BBS (Bhutan) already off the air. 6145 // 9780, Qinghai ("Qinghai News Comprehensive Broadcasting"), on March 6, at 1122; clearly //. 7210, PBS Yunnan, *1036, on March 4. Suddenly on with their distinctive IS of non-stop EZL loop of instrumental music; before 1036, was hearing SOH (Taiwan) and VOV (Vietnam). After 1036, three stations here were just too much to listen to. CONGO. 6115, Radio Congo, *0540, March 5. Surprisingly good reception (probably best ever?), due to extremely unusual propagation that greatly favored the Congo, instead of the normal domination by Japan ("RN2:), which was today only heard far underneath; all with announcers (no music at all, as is normal for this time period); 0550 had Japan starting to get slightly stronger, so greater QRM. My audio at http://bit.ly/2VKsG1t . EQUATORIAL GUINEA. 5005, RNGE, R. Bata, March 5, at 0514, yet again with audio nicely above threshold level; in Spanish; mostly pop African music/singing. INDONESIA. 7289.92, Pro 1 RRI Nabire, 0809-0838*, on March 5. Not sure, but might have been a phone in show; just talking in Bahasa Indonesia (no music); cut off in mid-sentence. KOREA SOUTH. 5995, Echo of Hope - Voice of Hope (VOH), March 5, at 0659. Still checking here for any sign of Mali, but clearly VOH, along with N. Korea jamming. LIBERIA, 6050, ELWA Radio, Monrovia, March 5, from 0703+. pop African music/singing; certainly seemed to be in English, with African accent, but unreadable for me. First time I have heard them on this frequency; thanks very much to Dave Valko, for his alert that he was hearing them with unusually good reception on March 3 - "English sign off announcements at 2229 UTC, then played the instrumental Liberian national anthem, this much stronger than in the past." Have indeed listened to his surprisingly clear audio (very nice, Dave!!). Am very pleased to have finally heard this myself. MALI[and non-log]. 5995, ORTM, March 5, checking 0558-0605, no signal here; later heard Korea. On 9635, at 0840, on March 5, possibly Mali(?); very tentative; very weak (not the signal strength I was expecting to hear if them). NEPAL[non-log]. 5005, Radio Nepal. As of March 5, on most days I check here with no results from 1050+; not heard since my last reception of assume their carrier on Feb 3.

KOREA SOUTH. 5920, Voice of Freedom, on March 9, checking the Jeonyeog Bangsong (evening program at Korean time [weekend]), at 1000; heard the start of the "Bodo gwangjang" ("News plaza") program (thanks very much to both Amano [Japan] and Chulus [Korea] for their naming the various VOF programs); N. Korea jamming as usual, but still not too bad a reception. My audio at http://bit.ly/2XKIqDb . UNIDENTIFIED. 5006, with an interesting development here; starting on March 7, at 1236, noted a strong carrier; heard daily through today (March 9); also heard by Jim Young (Calif.); became aware of this while checking for Nepal (5005); on March 8, Hiroyuki Komatsubara (Japan), was also hearing an open carrier on 5006, as well as on 8006; so he made an observation that I had missed, mainly that 5006 // 8006, years ago were the two frequencies broadcasting CW from Japan (low powered JG2XA, with the HF-Doppler [HFD] Project), but that station has been silent for a long time now. So yes, it was Hiroyuki who first noted that 8006 also had an open carrier, which I subsequently also heard. So who is broadcasting these new, daily open carriers?

LAOS. 6130, Lao National Radio, at 1200, checking on March 19 & 22, heard unique gong/bell that they ring slowly 7 times (7:00 PM their local time), followed by choral anthem. Was able to hear them faintly, but can confirm they still have the usual format; otherwise unusable. For many people, 1200 is the best time to confirm it is LNR. On Facebook (UNION OF ASIAN DXERS), a comment by Victor Goonetilleke about my LNR posting: "yes they were off when we checked Dec Jan and heard they were repairing. Great to have them back and for that matter any station back." MYANMAR. 5985, Myanmar Radio, 1155+, on March 22, with live coverage (TV audio feed), in vernacular, of the football/soccer match between Myanmar (under 23) and East Timor (aka: "Timor-Leste") U23; played at the Thuwunna Youth Training Center Stadium (Yangon); musical interlude at half time and back to live coverage at 1230. 6165, Thazin Radio [non-log], 1420-1440, on March 18.

Thanks very much to Arthur Delibert and Dave Valko for the alert that this is doing so well. ZAMBIA. 5915, R. One/ZNBC1. Thanks to the original alert from Manuel Mendez and follow up report from Jay Novello, in WOR iog, that this is reactivated, after being silent, I believe, all of 2019. Of course I wanted to check this out, as it is one of my favorite stations, so tuned in expecting the previous schedule/format to still be the same. Not so! In past years 0240-0250 was always the IS of the call of the African fish eagle, but March 22, tuned in at 0232, to hear repetitive, non-stop pop African music already here; 0253, cut off audio and only heard a loud hum, till 0257 hum off; African singing; 0300, here is the IS of the African fish eagle, but played not for ten minutes, but only for about one minute; in vernacular; 0401, brief IS and music before the news; later checked at 0420, only to find they were off the air (earlier than their former sign off time). Clearly needs more monitoring to tell what the regular schedule/format will be. Great to have them back again! Seeing as 5915 is reactivated, wanted to see if there was any chance that Radio Two/ZNBC2, which has been silent for a long time now, had also come back to life; checking 6165, from 0240+, but didn't hear anything underneath Cuba. ZANZIBAR. 6015, ZBC Radio. It was back on Feb 17, that I reported "tuned in at 0250, waiting for their sign on. A long wait! Suddenly come on at *0330"; on March 22, again checking for their starting time and yes, it was also at *0330, with program already in progress; at times almost fair reception.

My local sunset was at 0222 UT. So we sill don't know their new schedule. ZANZIBAR. 6015, ZBC Radio.

Poor propagation today, so unable to catch the name of the program, but clearly this is no longer the "Say It In English" language series about the adventures of "Tom" (I liked hearing what "Tom" was up to, so I will miss him!); will need better conditions to SA which language lesson this is. Today's show was perhaps a repeat of the scheduled Monday show, as least in past years they were on Monday & Wednesday? Ron California 7499kHz UNID ==> Voice of Tibet , etc...

Thanks to an alert at "Now On The Radio" website, for the very first time I heard them broadcasting on two frequencies simultaneously; 5920 is a very poor frequency assignment for them, due to a strong Voice of Freedom already being on frequency, along with the usual N. Korea jamming of VOF; whereas 6070 is a very good choice, as it is a clear frequency. My 5920 audio, with one minute of Voice of Freedom, then Shiokaze QRM (sign on), at http://bit.ly/2OD4ifD . My 6070 audio is at http://bit.ly/2FOvLZ4 . 5980 // 6090, Shiokaze, *1405-1435*, April 1. With 5980 being rather a poor frequency choice, due to New Zealand already being on frequency, so they mix together; whereas 6090 is a much better choice, as only light CNR2 QRM.

With the general elections being held tomorrow (April 17), thought perhaps the problem would have been corrected, but not so. This year's election will be historic, in that the president, the vice president, and the People's Consultative Assembly will all be voted for on the same day. Looking for other RRI stations (Ternate, Merauke, etc.) had no results. Was too late to check for RRI Nabire, which closes down much earlier. A sad state of affairs for RRI SW.

April 28 (Sunday), at 1011, with the usual religious (Christian) programs; mostly songs in English; re-checked at 1103, found them already off the air (so a very early cut off time today!); 1103+, VOI carrier again heard with no audio at all. CHINA. 4940, Voice of Strait, *0940-0955, April 27 (Saturday). Suddenly on with the weekend only "Focus On China" show, in English; already in progress; sound tract from documentary about Chinese history (Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of a unified China); 0951 program ID and music till into Chinese at 0955; fairly readable; this was a repeat show that had been heard several times in the last month.

Is the HS ever coming back again, or will the External Service be here permanently now? Are they following the example of RRI Palangkaraya (3325), which seems to have permanently dropped their local Pro 1 programming in favor of the Voice of Indonesia? VOI has been via Palangkaraya since about June of last year. At 1228, with the BB IS, mixing with stronger CNR1 also on frequency; 1230 into English till 1300, when the BB test tone started again. BHUTAN. 6035, BBS, 1149*, on April 30. At *1139, the usual sudden start up of PBS Yunnan, with FM99 relay, which mostly covered up BBS, but was still able to hear BBS underneath till BBS cut off. As Glenn Hauser has reported, National Unity Radio has again moved back to 6045 and with it heavy N. Korea jamming. 6035 has what seems to be a jamming spur from 6045, making reception of both BBS and FM99 more difficult.
