Ron Howard Sep 26 (Mon), 2022 14:21 UTC No.5103 Greetings from California! Very nice on your 4835 kHz. reception. At my location, I hear the station's carrier daily,
but only with audio before my local sunrise (about 1300-1400 UT). Yes, also noted 4810 without the test tone today.
That is very exciting news about your RRI-Nabire reception!! I have not checked for them in a long time, as I thought
they were never going to reactivate. So thank you very much for the alert!!!
On July 16, this reply was received to my reception report (4835 kHz.) to Dave Stuart, operator of "Shortwave Australia"
< vk3ase@yahoo.com >:
"Thanks for the report. When the ABC ran the station they had 50kw and I run 200w so no wonder you find it hard to
hear. It covers the south eastern part of Australia ok. Apart from any live input I run an identification announcement
every 10 mins [which I never was able to hear - Ron] that should override the program material, At the moment the
indents are computer generated and of female voices from the Windows 10 read aloud library, I have them reading in
various English accents to make it more interesting so if you record more than 10 mins you should get one. I was in
Hawaii in 2016 and heard the ABC on 4835 booming in and 2310 was ok as well. I have seen a trace of my signals on US
sdr's but too weak to hear. What would be the best time for you to listen, last night I went off about 1am our time
[1500 UT - Ron]. For the last hour or so was playing a dream time program with relaxing electronic music and did make
an announcement when I closed. The content of the automatic announcements at the moment is: "This is Shortwave Australia broadcasting to the inland and the islands on 4835 kilocycles day time and evening as well as 2310 kilocycles night
time" or words to that effect. Let me know of any more results."

RTM has been missing from both 9835 and 11665 for several days (checking around 1000 to 1100 hours UTC each day).
Does anyone know why? They've recently upgraded their signal on both frequencies, and they were heard well here
for a while. It seems unlikely they would have made that investment if they had planned to go off shortwave.

"Thank you for contacting me regarding this issue.
For your information, currently both SW transmitters are off the air due to medium voltage (MV) maintenance
works. It was shut off from 1st October 2022 until 8th October 2022 (based on our planning).
It will be on the air on 9 October 2022 as usual.

INDONESIA. 7289.93, RRI Nabire Pro 1, from tune in at 0850 till cut off in mid-song at 0907* UT, Oct 8.
Am very grateful to Tony Ashar commenting on my reported "reciting from the Qur'an (seems to be a daily
segment about 0848-0858)," as I failed to note two distinctly separate things were happening; per Tony:
"Shalawat Tarhim is a prayer reading addressed to the prophet Muhammad's followers and echoed by mosques
or prayer rooms in Indonesia just before the call to prayer."
Oct 8 had the following Islamic call-to-prayer times for Nabire (per - http://bit.ly/3yrvbLM ):
Fajr - dawn 04:26 (1926 UT)
Dhuhr - after midday 11:49 (0249 UT)
Asr - afternoon 14:53 (0553 UT)
Maghrib - sunset 17:54 (0854 UT)
Isha'a - nighttime 19:02 (1002 UT)
Oct 8, I tuned into the Shalawat Tarhim prayer, followed by 0854-0857 UT, with the Maghrib (sunset)
call-to-prayer.
BTW - Today is a holiday in Indonesia, celebrating Maulid Nabi Muhammad, the anniversary of the birthday
of Prophet Muhammad.
VANUATU. New happenings for Radio Vanuatu? Oct 8, Marshall Reel, at 0747 UT, was having decent reception
on RV's 3rd harmonic of 11835 ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TATj_Y_zf6s ). But when I randomly listened
to RV from 0910 till off after the National Anthem at 1106* UT, I had no trace at all of RV on 11835 (nothing
there the whole time!). Fundamental frequency of 3945 was unusable (only a carrier) and nothing on 4th harmonic
of 15780. So only the 2nd harmonic on 7890 was heard with poor to fair reception. I find it hard to believe I
was unable to get any 11835 signal, as normally that is fairly good. Needs more monitoring!

// to the long standing 6165 CNR6 frequency. Probably missed the sign on at around 1200, as it was not on the air

It is not uncommon for CNR1 to also be here to jam SOH, but not today.

Nov 16 - A different situation today at 1330 UT, with an open carrier on 9835 kHz., which I assume was Sarawak FM
testing their transmitter, while today found Wai FM (11665) to be off the air (normally sign off time for both
stations is 1400* UT, or a few minutes past.
Also heard Sound of Hope (Taiwan) with one of their better days, on 6214.90 // 6229.95, with 6280 absent today. On
my attached audio, as usual no time pips at ToH, but the normal ID ("Xiwang zhi sheng guoji guangbo diantai" -

Ron Howard Nov 18 (Fri), 2022 14:26 UTC No.5180 Greetings, Amano, from California! Appreciate your excellent feedback regarding the UNID station.
This is most helpful.
Online I noted the following interesting VOA article (Nov 17) - https://bit.ly/3GrKN6E .
"Experts: Information Campaign Key to Pressuring North Korea"
" . . . Sending North Korea "massive quantities of information from entertainment to news" could open people's
understanding about the outside world and their "inalienable and universal rights" as well as the "truth about
the Kim regime," Maxwell said. The outside information could even cover such educational topics as improving
crop yields, he added.
Getting information to North Koreans would include increasing the number of hours that defector groups broadcast
into North Korea, influencing North Korean elites overseas to bring information into the country, and to restart
loudspeaker broadcasts at the interKorean border, said Bruce Bennett, a senior defense analyst at the Rand Corp. . ."

For over six months this frequency had been bothered by a nuisance QRN. Was not N. Korean jamming, as
was here even when VOF was up on ex 6045 kHz. Today for the first time that former noise was absent,
instead there is now a pulsating tone QRM, which is not as bad as the former continuous noise.

Ron Howard Dec 07 (Wed), 2022 12:13 UTC No.5211 Very pleased to find that we were listening to the same stations today!!
Voice of Freedom - Dec 7, back on the alternate frequency of 6045 kHz. (ex: 5920); for the first time ever, heard
with good reception due to the long-standing super jamming from N. Korea being recently off the air, as it was
today; ex 5920 still jammed.
0900 UT (6:00 PM JST) - the usual single tone; then "Jayu-e solibangsong-eseo ohu 6 (yeoseos) sileul
allyeodeulibnida" (In English - Voice of Freedom has announced 6pm); nice singing station jingle -
"jinsil-e soli, huimang-e soli, jayu-e soli bangsong!" (Voice of Truth, Voice of Hope, Voice of Freedom
broadcast); then the "Bodo gwangjang" (News Plaza) segment. My five minute audio at bit.ly/3F3EgNg .
Radio Vanuatu, on new 7260 kHz. (ex: 5040), 0632+ UT (3:32+ PM JST), on Dec 7. From 0632 to 0637,
the usual segment with announcements and messages, today partially in English and ending with the
normally heard indigenous drums; 0637, usual station jingle mentioning "Kingdom of Tonga, Solomon
Islands, Voice of Papua New Guinea and Radio Vanuatu"; at 0659 they did NOT change frequencies,
but was still on 7260 when last checked at 1035; at 0755, "The Little Drummer Boy" Xmas song. Het and
QRM seemed to be from a Chinese station slightly off frequency?

Ron Howard Dec 08 (Thu), 2022 11:49 UTC No.5213 December 8 observations:
CHINA. 6185, CHBC, 0950-1001 UT; the only good thing about Mexico being silent here, is that now
this station is in the clear till 1001, when Voice of Korea, in English, starts to completely block them;
heard EZL Chinese instrumental music (their IS?) till time pips and into Chinese.
INDONESIA. 7289.93, RRI Nabire Pro 1, a brief check 0745-0754 UT; playing non-stop EZL pop songs;
checked again at 0807, only to find them off the air, so a very early cut off time today!
KOREA SOUTH. 6045, Voice of Freedom, quick check at 0736 UT; heard N. Korean pulsating jamming here
even before VOF starts at *0753; so it only took them a day to realize the change of frequency (ex 5920).
MALAYSIA[non-log]. 9835, Sarawak FM, a quick check at 0850 UT; found them still silent; while Wai FM
on 11665, was heard as usual.
VANUATU. 7260, Radio Vanuatu, almost non-stop listening 0710-1020 UT. A very good day here, with enjoyable
listening due to reception being well above the norm; tuned into news/sports in Bislama, with sound bite of an
Aussie talking about providing Vanuatu with air medical evacuation services; heard several of the often heard
PSAs for mental health; 0731, "Special segment" regarding the Dept. of Labor, in Bislama; 0801, program in
Bislama about "agriculture and empowering of women"; 0821, PSA in Bislama for "tropical cyclone preparedness";
0902, long segment in Bislama about a "Music festival"; was fairly readable the whole time and of course played
a lot of nice island songs; today the Chinese het/QRM was not noted.

Re: Channel II - Voice of Indonesia relay from WRMI (7780 kHz.) -
Ron Howard Dec 27 (Tue), 2022 21:21 UTC No.5241
INDONESIA[non]. First some Voice of Indonesia history:
DX LISTENING DIGEST 16-43 ( http://www.w4uvh.net/dxld1643.txt ):
"INDONESIA. 9525.9, VOI (Channel II program), Oct 26, 2016 anomaly at 1316. Not the normal VOI Channel I
English programs of news, commentary, Today in History, Focus, etc.; today played a lot of EZL music; 1321
talking about the Jakarta weather, in English; 1326 back to music. It was on Sept 25, 2016 that VOI also
had this anomaly of playing Channel II programming (same format as today). Do they just do this once a
month? (Ron Howard, Calif., dxldyg via WORLD OF RADIO 1849, DX LISTENING DIGEST)"
[Back in 2016, I recall that I found references to "Channel I" and "Channel II," but checking the Web again
now, I don't find any such references, so I'm not sure how they are currently differentiating the two VOI
formats?]
Later 9525.9v went off the air, but in June 2018, I first noted that Pro 1 RRI Palangkaraya programming was
no longer aired on 3325; instead they started broadcasting VOI (Channel I), with their various languages,
one hour segments. Over the years, I often checked 3325, to try to find out if VOI ever carried the very
different Channel II programming, but that was never heard. 3325 (VOI Channel I) always has structured
programs ("Today in History," "Indonesia Today," "Indonesian Wonder," "My Indonesia," "Let`s Learn Bahasa
Indonesia," "Today's Music Corner," etc.), which are aired more or less at structured times during 1300 to
1400 UT.
Today (Dec 27 - please note my VOI/Channel II receptions in 2016, were on Sept 25 & Oct 26) tuned into the
WRMI (7780) relay of VOI, from 0815 till 0900 UT and was very surprised to find it was NOT the same VOI
(Channel I) format/programs in English that are aired over 3325, but instead was Channel II, which is also
in English, but with a more informal format; consists mainly of a fairly free flowing, unstructured DJ
playing Western style pop songs (no indigenous music/songs, as often heard on 3325/Channel I); few programs
with an actual title (one was "Newsflash" - Indonesian President to ban the sale of single cigarette sticks
starting in 2023 - bit.ly/3WOQJLQ ).
So the question is, does WRMI only relay VOI Channel II?

Ron Howard Dec 28 (Wed), 2022 17:51 UTC No.5242 Myanmar Radio (5985) at 1530 UT; English segment; full SA (audio attached) and news of the many activities
of the military "State Administration Council"; weather and sea conditions for Myanmar waters; list of goals of
the gov't; PSA in Burmese; PSA in English for wearing a "face mask"; fair reception, but her accent during the

4560 kHz. How long has VOP been on this new seventh frequency? At 1416 UT with fair
reception and CODAR QRM. In the past I was only aware of VOP's six frequencies, as
I also heard today (3480 // 3910 // 3930 // 4450 // 6520 // 6600 kHz.). Brief audio attached.

Re:Channel II - Voice of Indonesia relay from WRMI (7780 kHz.) -
Ron Howard Dec 31 (Sat), 2022 12:20 UTC No.5248 Dec 31, on 7780 kHz., 0800+ UT: VOI - Channel II relay in English from WRMI; very brief news (ASEAN item);
after the news, as usual, played patriotic song “Bagimu Negeri”; numerous VOI SAs; YL DJ with the majority of the
programming being pop Western style songs; mentioned " last day of 2022"; OM wishing "R-R-I" listeners a Happy
New Year; 0815, world weather report, starting with Banjarmasin, etc.; several brief spots (not programs!) about
indigenous music and foods; 0830, "Newsflash," weather warning.
Certainly this is NOT the relay of VOI - Channel I, as noted on 3325 kHz.; as heard from 1300 to 1400 UT, in English.
I would say that Channel I has more indigenous information about Indonesia, while Channel II has more of a Western
style flavor to it.
