** INDONESIA. 9680, Feb 14 at 1426, absolutely no signal here, not even a JBA
carrier, so no RRI Pro 4 reactivated. The other RRI/VOI frequency, 9525-, does
have a JBA carrier, which is the best it ever does here. Also, the China/Taiwan
radio war must be over at 1400; and KNLS, if foolish enough to collide with them
earlier, is taking a break during this hour. I`m checking because of this recent
report:
``9680.00, 1220-1235 30.1, RRI Jakarta 4, Cimanggis (tentative).
Bahasa Indonesia talk, music, 42432, QRM R Taiwan Int. in Chinese on 9680. Best

9680 RRI was last reported exactly one year ago, as in

As of today Feb 14,
2016, http://rri.jpn.org still has 9680 on its

TURKEY. 12035, Feb 14 at 1427, VOT IS at S5-7, then periodic IDs in unknown
language, presumably Kazakh which is next on the schedule after 1330 English,
but not on this frequency. 12035 keeps going past 1430 accurate timesignal and
opening Kazakh, until chopped off at 1430:33*. Meanwhile, the poor Kazakh
audience is only hearing China on 9785, like I am; until VOT cuts on with
stronger but still inadequate signal here, at *1432:43. It`s slightly offset
from China, starting a double het against the BFO. The tardiness could be, and
has been worse by the sloppyrators at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING

better than usual, and no ham CW QRM all over the place this weekend.

** U S A.
7490, Sat Feb 13 at 2225, just music on WBCQ, continues past 2230, so filler in
place of Mennonite Radio and Broad Spectrum Radio? No, James Branum explains,
``Glenn, This Saturday I aired the BSR Interfaith show. Schedule at
a program that will air music and sometimes spoken word from a different
faith/ethical/philosophical tradition each week. I was out and around town today
but did confirm that it aired with my Yaesu ham radio in the car. Signal wasn't
great in OKC but I was using a less than ideal antenna.
This week's
episode was almost entirely music from the Jewish tradition. Next month's
episode is likely going to be secular pop music from the Islamic world,
including K'Naan (a Somali-Canadian hip hop artist) and Kareem Salaama, an
Oklahoma Muslim who has made a name in country music -
James``
So need to check each week`s plans which are constantly
differing, and also not the same as the UT Fri 00-01 block on 7490 (Glenn

UNIDENTIFIED. 5030-, Feb 14 at 1411, JBA
carrier slightly on the lo side. Intriguing, as there are no known SWBC stations
currently on this frequency. Checking Aoki finds yet another imaginary/long gone
Latin American, R Virgen de la Alta, in Perú (which even if it existed, would
not be propagating at this hour). We do, however, well remember that 5030 was
once the frequency of Tonga and of Sarawak. The 1994 WRTH shows several others
back then. At this time, half a sesquihour after sunrise here in 2016y, there
are also remnants of several known Asian SWBC signals on 60m. Of course, 5030-
may not be a broadcast carrier at all (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 11455-USB, Feb 14 at 1440, soft slow talker,
interrupted by harsh fast talker, i.e. QSO pirates, thought to come from
Indonesia in the 11.4`s, so perhaps in Indonesian, Javanese or similar. At 1445
the first one hums a bit, but no full-blown singing yet as sometimes erupts from
these guys (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
