** BRAZIL. 9664.95, April 24 at 0558 tune-in, immediate ID in passing from Voz
Missionária; no CCI now, so I take the opportunity to measure its offness
without MWV in the way. None of the ZY 31mb stations manage to attain xxxx.00
kHz, nor 25mb (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 10345,
April 24 at 0602, YL Spanish spy-numbers alternating with digital bleeps, huge
S9+30 to 40, which cause enough overloading on the wide-open R75 (Preamp 2
normally engaged) to make this show up first on ``11735`` as sum mixture with my
strongest local MW signal, 1390 KCRC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING

** INDIA. 4895.0, April 24 at 1239, JBA carrier here ex-4896.0
yesterday, so AIR Kurseong is back in whack (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** NIGERIA. 7254.944, April 24 at 0608, S9+10 open carrier/dead
air, obviously from VON during the Hausa hour which is sometimes modulated
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PHILIPPINES. 9922.0, Sunday
April 24 at 1248, strident talk in unknown language at S3-S5; nothing on 9920,
so FEBC Iba site has jumped up to here, now on the top side of whoop-whoop Viet
Cong jamming which stays on 9921.0! Therefore, tune FEBC with USB instead of LSB
just like the Hill Tribes in Vietnam must be doing to avoid the jamming. But
switching from one side to the other does nothing to improve the
situation.
What language? Depends on which source consulted. Aoki, which
denotes Sunday as Day 1, says it`s in Hre. EiBi, which makes Monday Day 1, says
it`s CHR. What do those abbrs mean? For that we have to consult EiBi`s readme
exhaustive key to lang abbrs.
which
also covers transmitter site abbrs.
Hre is Hre, a.k.a. [hre], a rare case
where all three versions match! Spoken by 0.1 mega Vietnamese inhabitants, on
Sun/Tue/Thu/Sat; while on M/W/F it`s in Bah which must mean Bahnar, but which
EiBi abbrs. as BHN or [bdq], spoken by 160K Vietnamese.
On the contrary,
the CHR language is listed in EiBi for Sundays during this semihour, stands for
Chrau [crw] spoken by only 7 kilopeople. He also has different langs on other
days: Thu & Sat it`s CRU = Chru [cje] spoken by 19,000. M/W/F it`s BHN =
Bahnar [bdq], a biggie spoken by 160K. It`s safe to say that all these benefit
from benevolent Vietnamese Communist government trying to prevent nasty foreign
Christian influences from getting to them.
At 1300 I hear a bit of hymn
tune, announcement in what sounds like real Vietnamese, but there are further
conflicts over what language(s) occupy the next semihour I`ll spare you from
going into now (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
