** CHINA. 7245, Feb 17 at 1357 W&M in English discussing relationships, the word ``cherish``; religious? Hardly, soon switched to Chinese, so this is CNR-2 as scheduled, 150 kW, non-direxional from Beijing 491 site, per Aoki; ham QRM (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDIA. AIR VBS, 9870, Feb 17 at 1414 running produced ads mixing Hindi and English, including ``the best performance, the best your vehicle can get`` followed by march tune. Usual polar flutter but good signal (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PHILIPPINES. 9520, S Asian singing, but modulation breaking up badly, Feb 17 at 1437. This is RVA Telugu service, 250 kW, 280 degrees from Palauig-Zambales, following two other semihours in Sinhala, Tamil (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** RUSSIA. 9900, Feb 17 at 1405, SW Asian singing reminding me of R. Solh; alternated music and talk segments, Pashto? Several mentions of Afghanistan, but too much talk to be R. Solh. Also had very heavy polar flutter, worse than AIR 9870. Weakened gradually but still audible at 1447.
What does PWBR `2009` say? Nothing at this time except 1400-1430 mid-year FEBC Bocaue, Philippines in unID language to C Asia. That doesn`t fit either, as no such polar flutter on Tinang 9760. Aoki and HFCC have the answer, I would not have guessed: VOR Pashto/Dari service at 13-15 via Samara, 250 kW, 140 degrees (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SAUDI ARABIA. BSKSA, 15435, Feb 17 at 1502 again with BB, AA, i.e. big buzz and Arabic at about equal levels (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 14202-USB, Feb 17 at 1454, frequent calls by AB9KT stroke mobile. Never heard who he was calling but he then complained he had been trying two hours for a contact. He was atop pileup on frequency, so probably K5D Desecheo was the target. Tuning around, never found where K5D was transmitting, but not 14190 where I logged it previously (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. One the way from Fak Fak to Makassar I was waylaid by some SSB on 4769, Feb 17 at 1334. This turned out to be a good ole boy in a monolog about his messy divorce, replete with expletives. The guy could not get 5 words out without cussing. Sounds like an escapee from CB. Stopped suddenly at 1342. Never heard any ID, nor the other station he was presumably talking to. Truly a frequency to remember.
Searching the 19,794 posts so far on the UDXF yg, got only one relevant hit:
``4769.0 lsb unIDed fishermens in English, Milton and friends talking about his Mackerel catch. 0236:01 UT (2008-09-21) (Jon-FL in Florida, USA on StarChat#monitor)`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. OTH radar pulsing during my morning bandscan Feb 17:
at 1349, 5110-5150, and 5260-5300. I think they often come in pairs like this. At this hour on this band, cannot be Cyprus, but E Asia if not closer. At 1353, another stronger pair at 6765-6805 and 6960-7000 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 6074, good clear copy of 8GAL V/CQ marker, Feb 17 at 1400 starting promptly after few-seconds-late 6075 R. Rossii timesignal; its carrier stayed on until a little past 1401, so I didn`t really need the BFO (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###
