AUSTRALIA [and non]. 5055, Nov 25 at 0730, JBA carrier maybe Radio 4KZ; no signals from the other Pacificans on 5045, 5040, 5035, 5020. Solomons has been missing lately per Ron, and now there are reports of political unrest, as in RNZP news at 1300 on 7390 as monitored by Rodney Johnson, MN, Nov 24:
``A police station and several shops have been set on fire by looters in Solomon Islands after what started in the morning as a peaceful protest, calling for the prime minister Manasseh Sogavare to step down, turned ugly around mid-afternoon.`` UT Nov 25: ``Authorities are calling for calm and accountability in Solomon Islands, after political protests developed into looting and buildings were burned in the capital Honiara`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** BRAZIL. 6150, Nov 25 at 0726, JBA carrier, maybe the new R. Saturno at an hour when Manuel Méndez has been hearing it in Spain. Aoki does not know about it yet, but shows R. Europe, Germany on 6150 starting at 0700. OTOH, EiBi shows that one from 0900 with Saturno 24h (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** BRAZIL. 9819.124, Nov 25 at 0719, JBA carrrier, no doubt the always off-frequency R. Nove de Julho; one of two ZYs on air overnight on 31 m, the other:
9666.252V, Nov 25 at 0721, S8-S5 music from R. Voz Missionária, a reliable overnight signal which has been drifting slowly upwards. Nothing on its lower frequency 5939+ (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 5960, re squeal I reported, et al., Alan Holder replies on the WOR iog:
``Not a new problem. One of the transmitters has shown this fault for several months. For a long time it was parked on 11530/9525 jamming Denge Welat. But they tend to switch the transmitters around.
I e-mailed Hasan Altan of TRT engineering about the squealy modulation on August 5. He promised to pass this information on to the engineers at Emirler, and he would monitor the situation. Nothing happened for several months, so I e-mailed him again on October 19. So far, no reply.
Another of the transmitters suffers from slight hum and a lower modulation output. You have no doubt observed this on several occasions when listening.
Regarding your often reported missing 2200/2300 English broadcast, I suspect it might be their time for transmitter maintenance. Including the jammer on Denge Welat, all five transmitters are in use at one point (1400) during the day. but this drops down to only one or two between 2300 and 0200 UT. Alan Holder, G4ZBH, Isle of Wight, U.K.`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
