** CHINA [and non]. 15535, March 15 at 1354, CNR1 jammer with Sunday-night
opera, poor hetting 15537, i.e. V. of Tibet, per Aoki 1337-1400 due east from
TAJIKISTAN (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GUAM [and non].
11580, March 15 at 1309, KTWR with sermon in English interrupted by consecutive
translation to Vietnamese; about equal level with Brother Scare via WRMI as
these two continue to collide: WRMI 24 hours (also some other programming), and
KTWR at 1245-1330, -1345 on Saturdays. HFCC also shows on 11580 at other hours:
India and Pakistan, the latter probably imaginary (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** NEW ZEALAND. 9700, Sunday March 15 at 1315, RNZI
with reports extremely critical of the Australian government over treatment of
asylum seekers detained on Nauru and elsewhere. Among other things, thousands of
letters to the detainees were intercepted and returned to senders. Show outro at
1335 with strange title in Maori(?) tho it was all in English; RNZI ID with SFX,
1336 into Feature Album, ``Breakin` Away``. RNZI sked in UT+13 shows this
was:
``2:05 AM Tagata o te Moana --- A weekly Pacific magazine programme
features New Zealand and regional Pacific news, issues, information`` and music
[and next entry not until:]
``6:00 AM Pacific Regional News``
tho Tagata
is only a 29 minute show! specifically this one:
``Tagata o te Moana for
14 March 2015 (28'39)
Monster
storm makes its way through Vanuatu; Repair work continues on vital Kiribati
causeway; Torture concerns surrounding Australian action in the Pacific; Letters
of support to Nauru refugees are returned to sender; There's a muted response
from Fiji over NZ spying reports; Uncertainty continues around a multi-billion
dollar project on Tahiti`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U A
E. 21780, March 15 at 1351, very poor signal with talk, normally unheard at all.
HFCC says at 13-14, DW Hausa via UAE. Much weaker than the SSOB, 21505 Riyadh
(and still no 21540 Kuwait) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U
S A. Re KVOH missing from 9975 around 0200 UT Mar 15, Ray Robinson replies:
``Hi, Glenn. Equipment failure again, I'm afraid, but the good news is we think
we found the cause of the undermodulation. We should be back on Monday on both
frequencies, but it's unclear at this point whether or not we will be able to
run on 9975 tomorrow [UT Monday March 16]. We most likely will be off for the
weekend. Sigh....`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A.
5760-SSB, Sunday March 15 at 1338, long discourse about reducing current draw of
battery-powered radio equipment, which most of the time is only receiving rather
than transmitting. Finally 1348 outro as ``training topic this week``, and
finally ID of this station as 6TG, contacts with 6QE and 6IA. Good steady
signals. Probably some nearby MARS net, with truncated calls, but wasted enough
time searching for calls and frequency with no results. Air Force? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
