Glenn Hauser logs January 11, 2010

** CUBA [and non]. Residual DentroCuban Jamming Command pulses on 6030, UT Monday Jan 11 at 0616, vs detectable carrier, probably CFVP at this time. I guess it was bad for Ethiopia-seekers earlier.

Also at the late hour of 1533, could still hear signs of jamming on 6030 against nothing, and stronger on 5980, both R. Martí frequencies, but RM is finished with 6030 at 1200, 5980 at 1300.

Thus the DentroCubans once again demonstrate their incompetence even in jamming, and total disregard for the rights of others who have nothing to do with the Cuban radio war (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** EQUATORIAL GUINEA. 6250, RNGE again audible with Spanish news, frequent liners at 0618 Jan 11, altho missing 24 hours earlier, and not missing 48 hours earlier (Glenn Hauser,

** INDIA [and non]. 9690, AIR GOS, Monday Jan 11 at 1435 in weekly mailbag Faithfully Yours, this time with M&M hosts, assuring that no IRCs or other return postage is wanted, and that on the European service, 11620 is no longer in use since Oct 25, instead 6180. Usual constant hum on 9690.

1445 Film Music, but could not understand details of introduxion to a long selexion; second piece was cut off at 1454 to promote a devotional program on next transmission to SE Asia at 2245 (0415 IST); 1455 final news summary including state visit of Bangladesh PM, heavy fog in Punjab, 300+ deaths due to cold weather. Semi-minute overlap at 1459:30 with fast SAH as Nippon no Kaze via Darwin was starting in Korean (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** INDONESIA. 9526-, Jan 11 at 1358 check, nothing audible, so VOI missing or closed earlier than usual. 9680 RRI was quite good until 1500:36*.

Atsunori Ishida now reports at

``Voice of Indonesia has changed it schedule from January 2010. The contents are not completely fixed, but are almost as follows:
9526 -1000-1400* [1000: English, 1100: Chinese, 1200: Japanese, 1300: English]
9526 *1600- (cannot confirm the contents, due to weak signal)
Chinese and the Japanese have changed to one hour from 30 minutes.``

Jan 11 was a good morning for RRI on tropbands; at 1355, musical audio making it on Palangkaraya 3325; 1357 better signal with music on 4750 Makassar, YL singer continuing past 1400. Weak SAH from China or Bangladesh, and with BFO on, it was obvious there were two carriers, but RRI now right on 4750.0 compared to 9750, presumably Japan rather than Malaysia. At 1404, 4750 finally going from music to YL DJ announcement in Indonesian (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MALAYSIA. RTM Sarawak, 5030 still clear of ChiComQRM, Jan 11 at 1358 but too much Cuba 5025. A bit better comparatively at 1413 with YL announcement presumably in Malay after song, but still splatter from Rebelde especially during music which is most of the time. But RTM kept gaining on Cuba during the hour, and by 1503 with presumed news by YL, signal level had axually surpassed 5025. At 1510 finally understood something as YL concluded news with ``Salaam Aleikum``, 1511 music. Still audible until starting to fade out at 1533. This was almost two hours after local sunrise at 1343 UT (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###
