Shortwave Broadcast / Three Changes Noted in the Turkey Schedule
« on: November 05, 2017, 1026 UTC »
5970   TURKEY. VoT - Emirler. French to WEu at 2115 until s/off 2125, NF (ex 9635). Fair to weak signal, Nov 4.

9410   TURKEY. VoT - Emirler. English programming at 0405, Does not seem to be listed in their current schedule. I suspect it is being beamed to NAm. However, some lists are showing 6125 to NAm at 0400. This frequency choice clashes badly here at Mount Evelyn with BBC-Al Seela's English to the ME also on 9410 at this time, the two stations being heard at equal strength. Nov 5.

15235   TURKEY. VoT - Emirler. This is listed as Turkish at 0610, but it sure doesn't sound like it! Talks (news?) at 0605, ID at 0615, into music at 0618. The language sounds more like Swahili or similar African language. Weak signal Nov 5.

Shortwave Broadcast / R. Algerienne - 5940
« on: November 05, 2017, 1024 UTC »
5940   FRANCE. R. Algerienne - Issoudun. Arabic songs at 2050, time pips and news in French at 2100, then back into Arabic service at 2110. NF (probably ex 9655), good signal, Nov 4.

Clandestine Stations / New Freq - Voice of Khmer M'Chas Srok
« on: November 02, 2017, 2132 UTC »
12050   TAJIKISTAN. Voice of Khmer M'Chas Srok - Dushanbe. S/on 1130 in Khmer to SEAs. NF (ex 17860), very good signal but with slight co-channel QRM from a much weaker Sound of Hope-Taipei slightly off-freq at 12150.15 kHz (creating a het with Srok). The broadcast is Thurs and Sun only. Nov 2.

Shortwave Broadcast / 9825 - R. France Int.
« on: November 02, 2017, 2130 UTC »
9825   FRANCE. RFI - Issoudun. Hausa to WAf at 2010 to s/off 2030, good signal and NF (ex 11700). Nov 2.

Shortwave Broadcast / 9810 - Mahajanga
« on: November 02, 2017, 2129 UTC »
9810   MADAGASCAR. WCB/KNLS New Life - Mahajanga. Russian to EEu at 1946, NF (ex 9720), fair to poor signal, Nov 2.

51
Shortwave Broadcast / 9775 - R. Sama
« on: November 02, 2017, 2128 UTC »
9775   ENGLAND. R. Sama (IBRA) - Woofferton. Arabic to ME with ID and website at 1740, NF (ex 15260), very good signal, Nov 1.

52
Shortwave Broadcast / Vatican - Additional Portuguese Txion
« on: November 02, 2017, 2128 UTC »
9660   VATICAN. Vatican R. - SM Galeria. Portuguese to NWAf at 2110, seems to be an additional transmission in this language at this time, very good signal, Nov 2.

53
Shortwave Broadcast / Romania - DRM Confusion?
« on: November 02, 2017, 2126 UTC »
6180   ROMANIA. RRI - Tiganesti. German to WEu, NF (ex 7220) but not DRM mode (contrary to the latest HFCC registration), ID at 0653, good signal. However, the // 7235 appeared to be the DRM outlet. Nov 2.

54
Shortwave Broadcast / RTI Freq Clash - 7220
« on: November 02, 2017, 2126 UTC »
7220   FRANCE. R. Taiwan Int. - Issoudun. Russian to EEu at 1726, NF (ex 11955). Fair signal but a big clash with CRI-Xian which has also moved here for their Cantonese service. Both signals at equal strength here at Mount Evelyn, But checking the European remote SDRs, CRI is also causing heavy QRM to this chosen RTI frequency. Nov 1.

55
Shortwave Broadcast / Gospel For Asia - New Freq via Nauen
« on: November 02, 2017, 2123 UTC »
7380   GERMANY. Gospel for Asia - Nauen. S/on 2330 in what sounded like a minority Indian subcontinent language, NF (ex 9510). Weak signal and it faded by 2345. It's tough to identify the languages used by this station. There are more than 110 languages transmitted, many of them are largely unknown in the west, each one is only 15 min, and there are different languages every day, some transmitted only once or twice a week. Interesting! The schedule on GoA website is long out-of-date and given in Indian Standard Time. Nov 1.

11825   USA. WHRI - Cypress Creek SC. English to Aus/NZ at s/on 0859, Midnight Cry Ministries programming, NF (ex 13690), huge signal on Nov 1.

Shortwave Broadcast / New Service from Turkey
« on: October 31, 2017, 2333 UTC »
17530   TURKEY. VoT - Emirler. In this era when services are being reduced, it's nice to see a new service being introduced. Noted in Malay to SEAs at 0535 to s/off 0554, excellent signal, Oct 31.

9790   PHILIPPINES. VoA - Tinang. Mandarin to EAs at 1040, NF (believed to be ex 11825), very good signal….and so with the CNR jamming! Oct 31.

9940   PHILIPPINES. VoA - Tinang. Mandarin to EAs 1210, NF, strong signal and QRM CNR 1, Oct 30.

9975   THAILAND. VoA - Ban Dung. Korean to EAs at 2023, NF (possibly ex 7365), very good signal and no jamming (!), Oct 31.

11660   PHILIPPINES. VoA-Tinang. Mandarin to EAs at 1150 to s/off 1200, NF, good signal and also good QRM CNR 1 jamming, Oct 30.

12075   BOTSWANA. VoA - Moepeng Hill. Bambara service to WAf at s/on 2130, NF (perhaps ex 11900??), weak signal, Oct 30.
