UNID – 6270, unid station, possible clandestine or religious, noted
11/9 at 0415 past 0430. OM droning on in SS until 0427 when
martial-type marching band music, then YL and OM alternating. Weak
signal with muffled modulation and very deep (nearly total) cyclical
fades, such as I’ve experienced on groundwave xmsns ex Central
America. Can’t tell yet if religious exhortation or political – but
may be the latter as perhaps heard mention of ‘imperialismo’.
Checked Marti for //s, thinking a spur, but no match. Help, anybody?
(Perry, Illinois)
SOMALIA - 7120, R. Hargaysa, noted several mornings this week in the
1300-1400 time slot, definitely (at times) with English pgming. Best
on 11/8 at 1335-1401* pulling the plug after some kind of ME instl
theme song, perhaps Somali NA . Pretty good signal, but very low
modulation and not easy to understand much, but fragmentary EE was
100% certain, between conversing OM and YL. Also noted 11/6 at
1314-1325, when fading early; and 11/3 1343-1350 with decent signal
holding up later this date, but trouble from rising noise level this
date. (Perry, Illinois)
ECUADOR – 6049.93, HCJB, Pichincha, domestic service noted with
carrier signing on *0823 on 10/30. At 0825, lovely pasillo featuring
HC flute and guitar. At 0827, interesting rendition of Ecuador
national anthem as an organ solo with small coro of vocalists joining
in . . . rather amateurish-sounding but fun. 0827 YL with opening
anmts in SS and QQ for “H-C-J-B” and citing “frecuencia onda corta”.
0830 started morning programming with brief snippet of sanjuanito
followed by a preacher starting his sermon in QQ and SS. (Perry,
Illinois)
UNID – 4824.50, possible LA, hearing an open carrier signing on
several mornings this week after 1030 but never quite bursting into
fully modulated programming. Carrier holds up until band fades for
Andeans, toward TOH. At times sounds like possibly something already
down in the muck, but this is very uncertain, probably infamous
“imagination level modulation”, hi. Note: assuredly not Sicuani,
which was noted on its trademark fqy 2 kHz higher on one of the same
mornings this showed up. Am hoping might signal the return of LV de
la Selva, Iquitos, which formerly was on 4824.47. Perhaps their
engineers working away on this? . . . Something to watch. (Perry,
Illinois)

Drake R8B; Japan Radio NRD-545; Eton E1; Hallicrafters SX100
Dentron Super Tuner + Ameco PLF-2 + Palomar P-408 + Quantum Phaser
antenna unit (customized for tropical bands)
355-foot bidirectional BOG positioned 150 deg / 330 deg for LA / SE Asia
Phased Longwire + Small Loop
BOLIVIA. 4716.64 approx., Nov 9 at 0035, very poor signal with LA music, but off-frequency closely matches recent report by Bob Wilkner on 4716.63 of Radio Yatun Ayllu Yura, Yura. Pleased to be getting it at all, with local noise level here on 60m usually intolerable, but it helped to recess to the porch and the DX-398. See also PERU (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BOLIVIA. 5952.44 approx., Nov 9 at 0043, music with drumming, poor signal, presumed Radio Pio Doce, Siglo Veinte, on its characteristic off-frequency; I`ll concede the last digit to Andy Robins, who also had it a few nights ago at this time on 5952.45 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
ALBANIA. 6100, Nov 10 at 0227 tune-in, R. Tirana with pop music, and ``end of our program for today; goodnight from Radio Tirana`` then switch to IS, 0230 opening English with usual B-12 schedule claiming this is on the air 7 nights a week instead of 6. So the only scheduled English at 0230 got a prepeat, but from how early, 0200? Probably not (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
ECUADOR / BRAZIL – These two currently-active LA stations operate on nearly the same precise fqy. For what it’s worth, I typically only receive the HC station in the mornings, and the Brazilian usually during local evenings, although this is by no means fixed in stone! Probably a great example of why a precision-measured frequency (while a great additional piece of investigative info when IDing a station) is usually not enough, by itself, to ID a station.
4814.98 - Radio El Buen Pastor, Saraguro, Ecuador, noted here mornings and often “fading up” only after 1045 or so, when it may be taking the air. Not “fading up” due to propagation, but rather (I suspect), probably reflecting the station tweaking / cranking up its xmtr for the broadcast day. Heard again this morning 11/10 at 1052 t/in, best in ECSB, with unmistakable Andes-themed music and OM t/ck in SS as “5 horas y 52 minutos, 5 y 52 . . . “ Blipping CODAR QRM and low modulation. At 1055, usual calm, low-voiced locutor in SS. Fadey signal. (Perry, Illinois)
4814.97 – Radio Difusora de Londrina, Parana, Brazil, noted 0147 on 11/10 w/OM PP anmts and into religious-sounding choral mx. Fanfare at 0155, ID anmt in echo. Again, CODAR QRM. Choir to 0159, more fanfare and echo anmts in PP. (Perry, Illinois)
BOLIVIA – 4716.71, Radio 'Jatun Ayllu Yura', La Voz de los Ayllus, San Antonio de Quijarro, luckily tuned-by at 0201 on 11/10 and noted upbeat CP folk music with OM singer with guitar and a lovely Andes-sounding refrain played on pinkillos. At 0204 OM ancr in SS with what I later figured out was a closedown anmt. Waited 5 minutes for music to resume and then realized Yura had already gone adios, hi. Usually hear this one, often and usually much better signal, during local mornings after 1000. (Perry, Illinois)
ECUADOR – 4781.68, Radio Oriental, tracking their morning slot many days now and they are very, very reliably *1100. Sometimes a minute or two before, or after, but a consistent daily visitor. Park on this fqy at 1050 and wait – you will hear a few very strong bursts of “burbly/gurgling” RTTY-like rippling sound, which likely is R. Oriental testing their xmtr. (Wonder if they co-own an xmtr also used for private commercial communications?) Today, 11/10, abrupt s/on a minute late, signal not initially great but then peaked around 1105 with excellent power. Morning sports show with local ads. OM at 1105, “ . . . en el Mercado Central Tena . . . son las seis de la manana y 6 minutos . . . Los Deportivos del Mundo . . .” More time checks and then an ad for “Banco de Guayaquil, su banco del barrio . . .” More musical commercials followed, but noise coming up and signal lost by 1110. (Perry, Illinois)
UNID – 4824.50, 11/10 again noting open carrier appearing sometime after 1035 and holding on thru to TOH. Quick checks in the 1050-1105 period never result in any programming being heard with certainty. No s/on at 1100 noted, unfortunately. As the propagation window from E. Peru widens, am hopeful this may improve and eventually be reliably confirmed to be LV Selva, which has been gone from 60 meters for more than a year. Needs work. (Perry, Illinois)

GUAM. 5765-USB, Nov 10 at 1342, AFN with talk but not // NPR Weekend Edition Saturday digitally-delayed on KOSU. 1342 outro segment as with Christina Aguilera, and ``Today on NBC``, sounds like Lester Holt. Still barely audible at 1420 and still not with NPR (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. 3325, Nov 10 at 1328, RRI Palangkaraya at S9+12, 1329 rustic music, 1330 YL mentions Indonesia, almost one semihour after sunrise here.
4750, Nov 10 at 1334, RRI Makassar, SSOB with music; 1335 YL in Indonesian. With BFO I can tell there is a second signal on slightly different frequency, Bangladesh or China?
Atusnori Ishida`s Monitoring Report of Indonesian SW at
http://www.rri.jpn.org/
has not been updated since Nov 7, but in the week prior agrees that these two had been active, slightly variable times:
3325, -1000-1700v* and *2200v
4750, -1000-1600v* and *2100v-2130-
Only other active RRIs were:
4870, -1000-1500v* and *2000v-2100-, Wamena
7290, -0730-0800v*, occasionally much later, Nabire
9680 Jakarta had not been heard since October 19
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
ALBANIA. 6100, Nov 7 at 0229, R. Tirana IS, about to open English to NAm, but quite poor signal tonight. Still clear of QRM, altho Anguilla inbooming 6090 might be a problem on non-selective receivers (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
RADIO FREE ASIA UPGRADES AUTOMATED RECEPTION REPORT SYSTEM
NOVEMBER 2012
Radio Free Asia (RFA) is ready to launch a new automated reception report system! For years DXers
have been able to submit reception reports to RFA at: www.techweb.rfa.org and receive a QSL card in
the mail. In a few days RFA will relaunch the site with system upgrades including:
- an easier-to-navigate interface
- DXer registration
- option to submit anonymous reception reports
Background The Q-code was developed and instituted in 1912 in order to facilitate communication between
maritime radio operators of different nationalities. It is for this reason that the Qprefix has been excluded from
call-signs.
Shortwave radio listeners, or DXers, direct their "QSL" request (Can you verify transmission?) to radio stations
around the world they happened to have monitored. "D" in DX is for distance and the "X" refers to the unknown.
DXers are hobbyists who enjoy DXing or trying to pick up radio stations from a distance.
These reception reports are valuable to radio stations as they assist in evaluating transmission signal strength
and quality. Radio stations usually reply by mailing a "QSL Card".
The QSL card acknowledges the receipt of the report and confirms the details of the transmission.
To make the best of changing propagation conditions, RFA rotates frequencies during the summer and winter
seasons to maintain the best possible coverage. As a shortwave broadcaster, Reception Reports are important
to RFA in helping determine the best frequencies to use in order to reach our target audience.
Best wishes from all of us at RFA. Thx AJ
