What's all the fuss about DRM? From what I've read, it's still very
unreliable. Has anything changed? I can't see how fading, jamming, and a
whole host of atmospherics, won't impact a DRM broadcast. Also, how long
will it take to get DRM-capable receivers into third world countries, when
(for some) FM is just getting a foothold? Myself, I think DRM is a mis-
guided pipe dream...shortwave has never been 100% reliable and I fail to
see how DRM will "fix" this ... just the same as my sister (near Tampa)
has DTV dropouts whenever there's a heavy thunderstorm/rain at her QTH.
Interesting technology, but IMHO, still LOTS of bugs to be ironed out.
Just my 2-cents' worth.

AUSTRIA/NORWAY/PORTUGAL/U.K. Wimbledon Finals Live on DRM Digital Radio.
European radio listeners will be able to hear live broadcast of the
Wimbledon finals on the DRM digital channel jointly operated by British
Broadcasting Corporation and Deutsche Welle.
The BBC & DW DRM channel will broadcast the Wimbledon Ladies and Men's
Singles Finals on Saturday 4th July and on Sunday, 5th July, respectively.
The DRM transmission will be on air from 1300 until 1800 UT.
The BBC& DW channel is an 18-hour daily broadcast of the best
international programmes in English from BBC World Service and DW. It also
brings to the audience all the advantages of DRM digital radio like near-
FM quality audio, text messages and an Electronic Programme Guide (EPG).
This joint BBC-DW DRM radio channel has been on air since December 2008.
Six transmitters, which are used in pairs, cover much of Western Europe.
The signal goes up to France, Germany, Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg
and other neighbouring countries.
(DRM Consortium Press Release, via Alokesh Gupta-IND, July 2))
So what are people supposed to do, tune around at random looking for it?
This is much less feasible with DRM than with AM.

CHINA [and non] 14420 and 13970 kHz. Firedrake jamming mx against Sound
of Hope TWN around 0737 UT, July 2.
Chinese Firedrake jammer at 1330 UT on 13970 and 15150, traced in Europe.
July 3.
(wb, wwdxc BC-DX TopNews July 2/3)
Firedrake scan 7100 thru 19000, 1236-1254 June 25.
No FD on: 8400, 9000, 13970, 14420, 15150 nor 17470.
FD in \\ on 13500 (fair), 15600 (fair-poor) and 15720 (fair- poor).
New FD on 7215 (non-parallel) with a strong signal; 1300* and did not
return again; *1300 CRI sign-on in Japanese.
Assume it was SOH I was actually hearing in Chinese, in parallel, on 8400
and 9000, randomly from 1236 to 1254.
At 1310 FD was noted on 8400 (good) and 9000 (good).
Firedrake check June 25: at 1222, nothing audible on 8400 or 9000 but at
1331, both very poorly audible. At 1242, very poor on 13500 only but gone
at 1338 recheck.
However, the CNR1 jammers were doing much better. At 1238 kid singing off-
key (on key in Chinese terms?) on 11840, poor but in the clear, unlike on
\\ 11825, 11805 and 11785 where it just happened to collide with Western
broadcasts in Chinese! Also on 12040, 13830. 11825 mix had a "Voice of
America" singing ID in English at 1232.
So could 11840 be a legitimate CNR1 frequency? Of course not! Per Aoki,
It's there to jam All India Radio's Chinese service, altho inaudible here.
Firedrake at 1242 on June 26, all parallel: 8400 (good), 9000 (good),
14420 (poor) and 15600 (fair).
(Ron Howard-CA-USA, dxld July 1)
Firedrake check June 26: before 1300 barely audible on 9000; at 1305, very
poor on 14420, nothing on 13500, 13970 or any others of the usuals.
Firedrake check June 27: at 1319 just barely audible on 8400, 9000; at
1320 JBA on 14420; at 1321 poor on 13970, but significantly better than
the others.
Firedrake check June 29: at 1310, fair on 13970, nothing on 13500 or
14420; at 1214 JBA on 8400, trace? on 9000.
Firedrake check June 30: at 1313 fair on 13970, unheard on any higher
frequency; at 1331 very poor on 8400, not 9000.
ChiCom jamming check July 1: at 1300, Firedrake very poor on 13970 just as
it was pausing into open carrier for a pentaminute. At 1311, FD fair on
15150, poor on 14420, while CNR1 collision with BBC Chinese via Singapore
was plenty strong on 15285. Just tuned in 17705 with CNR1 \\ 15285 as it
was going off at 1315* that matches exactly the All India Radio Chinese
service at 1145-1315 on 17705. At 1317 FD on 17500, poor. That's a Sound
of Hope frequency, per Aoki. Then I heard one Chinese station on 17515 at
1317, \\ 15285, so CNR1. This is jamming BBC Uzbek via Cyprus at 1300-1330
only.
At 1427 on 15285 I was well hearing only one station in Chinese with
song, presumably CNR1. At 1428 found VG signal from Firedrake on 15780,
during drums-only passage. Aoki, EiBi and WRTH A09 update have nothing on
15780, so we can only guess it's another Sound of Hope tempojump.
(Glenn Hauser-OK-USA, dxld July 1)
Firedrake (non-stop Chinese music, used for jamming purposes); 1335 + 1350
+ 1406, July 2; all \\; 9000 (good), 13970 (fair), 14420 (good), 15150
(good), 15600 (weak) and 17500 (fair). 8400 finally heard at 1428; so for
almost an hour SOH was heard in the clear; I eliminated any chance of it
being either CNR-1 or 2, so believe it really was SOH, with mostly talking
in Chinese.

Radio Kahuzi Congo DPR now all weekdays on air 0530 to 2007 UT, (ex Mon +
Fri 1730-2007 UT).
Sendeplanerweiterung bei Radio Kahuzi bestaetigt. Gestern sendete Radio
Kahuzi bis 2011 UTC, ich habe Richard McDonald angemailt und gefragt, ob
das jetzt eine dauernde Sendeplanerweiterung sei. Wie bekannt, ging es ja
bislang nur Montag und Freitag bis kurz nach 2000 UTC.
Seine Antwort ist, dass das jetzt fuer jeden Wochentag gilt:
Richard McDonald: "We appreciate your confirmation, as we have just now
sent you the list of changes to our schedule : beginning all week days at
0530 UTC in French, and 1630-2000 UT, in Swahili, English and French."
Danach dann noch zwei Hymnen, das macht dann etwa 2007 UTC als
Sendeschlusszeit.
Die Fruehsendung geht bis 0700 UTC, auch wenn 0530 UTC schon etwas zu
spaet fuer uns ist, koennte das bei kuerzer werdenden Tagen eine
interessante Moeglichkeit sein.
Die aufgefuehrten Englisch- und Franzoesischsendungen sind meistens
Liveuebernahmen des VoA-Satellitenfeeds, die Swahilisendungen werden
aufgezeichnet und um einen Tag versetzt abgestrahlt. Zur Mittagszeit
uebernimmt Radio Kahuzi nochmal eine Stunde VoA, aber das ist hier ja eh
nicht hoerbar.
Weiterhin gilt <radiokahuzi @ sbcglobal.net> als Adresse fuer das Buero in
den USA, Richard selbst ist vor Ort in Bukavu unter der Adresse
<radiokahuzi @ gmail.com> zu erreichen.

COSTA RICA DRM mode transmissions from Costa Rica relay next year?
Radio Nacional de Espana (RNE) realizara a partir del proximo ano sus
primeras retransmisiones via digital en su base en Costa Rica, desde donde
emite su senal para America, confirmo hoy a Acan-Efe una fuente de la
emisora.
El director de medios y emisiones de RNE, Miguel Angel Coleto, indico que
se planea realizar, en los proximos seis meses, las primeras pruebas en
unos de los cuatro transmisores que hay ubicados en la localidad de
Cariari, en el Caribe costarricense, concretamente el que emite para
America del Norte.
Coleto aseguro que la emision digital "mejora la calidad del sonido" y
evita que factores externos a la emision, como "los climaticos u
orografico, la perjudiquen".
El centro de Cariari, una estacion que retransmite la programacion
exterior de RNE elaborada en Madrid, tiene su hermana gemela en Noblejas
(Toledo), donde hay una planta que ofrece el mismo servicio en ingles,
frances y espanol para el resto del mundo.
Coleto explico que desde Noblejas ya se han empezado a realizar
"exitosamente" las primeras pruebas en digital y "ya se emite una
programacion de cuatro horas diarias en Europa Central".
RNE lleva 19 anos en Costa Rica y retransmite para casi todo el continente
americano, desde Chile hasta Estados Unidos.
El corresponsal de RNE en Costa Rica, Fran Sevilla, explico a Acan-Efe que
en el momento de construccion del centro (1991) se eligio a Costa Rica
porque "era el unico pais de la area que no estaba en guerra y ademas
tiene una ubicacion privilegiada en el centro del continente" y la
localidad de Cariari porque es una zona llana, sin montanas, lo que
favorece a la propagacion de la emision.
La estacion, de 22 hectareas, tiene un total de cinco antenas, una
receptora, que recibe la informacion de Espana via satelite, y cuatro de
emision, que rebotan el servicio de RNE a toda la region en onda corta,
senalo Sevilla.
El periodista, quien el ano pasado gano el premio Rey de Espana
precisamente por su trabajo en la radio, detallo que el coste mensual de
la estacion es de unos 30.000 euros, la mayoria de los cuales se destinan
al consumo electrico.
El ingeniero Edgar Esquivel, director de la estacion, detallo que el
centro transmite programacion durante 12 horas diarias en tres horarios
diferentes, durante la manana, el mediodia y la noche.
Esquivel senalo que cada antena pertenece a una area geografica distinta y
en cada zona se transmite en una hora diferente, asi pues durante todo el
dia se emite en Estados Unidos, Mexico, Centroamerica y el Caribe.
Durante el dia tambien se transmite para Colombia, Venezuela y Brasil y en
la noche para Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador, el norte de Argentina y Chile.
La estacion costarricense fue inaugurada oficialmente el 18 de abril de
1991 en un acto presidido por los Reyes de Espana y el entonces presidente
de Costa Rica, Rafael Angel Fuente: Calderon. ACAN-EFE ns/nda\\hma

Says the Cariari relay will start digital transmissions to North America
next year. What kind of digital? Not specified but safe to assume it's
DRM, like Noblejas is doing for a few hours a day. Some other interesting
background info therein; such as that they have four transmitters, altho
we never hear more than three frequencies at once. One must be a backup,
or in rotation. Also says the site Cariari is in the Caribbean area of
Costa Rica, so we look it up; not right on the coast but in the NE part of
the country rather than the center near San Jose.

ETHIOPIA and non [c.f. BC-DX TopNews # 918]
Re: Radio Ethiopia causes interference on new 7 MHz segment.
Hmm, my humble opinion of these broadcasters still operating on the 7100-
7200 portion.
I guess Ethiopia could easily afford the shift of their 7110 and 7165
transmissions to other frequencies, but they don't care.
Same thing for Eritrea 7175 and their clanny switch to 7165.
Hargeisa 7145 may have problems to move further up if they use Elcor fixed
freq gear, I guess.
Guinea 7125 may have problems to make freq shift or just unwilling to pay
the costs.
Voice of Korea 7100 of course uses whatever freq they want.
Belarus 7135 seems to be active, as of writing this.
And of course the Chinese echo on 7130 (or thereabouts). These observed
recently during UT afternoon/evening in Finland.

1539 ERF/TWR Germany.
As of July 1 ERF will cut back its airtime on 1539 from 0600-2400 CET to
merely 0700-0900 and 1930-2230 CET (= 0500-0700 and 1730-2030 UT during
summer), still using 700 kW. This is primarily a cost saving measure. The
plain power bill for the transmitter (rather than the full transmitter
lease) is specified as 280,000 Euro per year.

No word in this press release about the foreign language programmes that
still go out on 1539 kHz between 0300 and 0400 UT, including Radio
Evangile broadcasts, put on 1539 as replacement for the now gone slot on
Roumoules-216 kHz.
During recent years substantial investments had been made into the 1539
kHz transmission facility, including a new NVIS antenna for skywave
service in the morning and evening:
<http://www.waniewski.de/id330.htm>
The old tube transmitters have been replaced as well, if I recall correct
by a set-up of 2 x Thomson S7HP. The new scheme may reflect a minimum
usage that must be kept after these big investments. Personally I wonder
if ERF meanwhile regrets its deep involvement into this mediumwave
operation.
(Kai Ludwig-D, dxld July 2)
The cuts turned out to be a bit less drastic. New airtimes are now 0600-
1000 and 1930-2300 CET at present 0400-0800 and 1730-2100 UT, as
specified at
<http://www.erf.de/1212-Empfang.html>
The original press release has been furtivately edited, too.
Now the question is if perhaps the foreign language programs between 0300
and 0345 UT have been kept on mediumwave as well?

Digitalradio - aber wie?
"I guess DAB+ norm in VHF-band III 174-198 MHz, 126 programmes on 14
multiplexed radio channels !"
DABplus _ Der Privatrundfunkerverband VPRT haelt den neuen digitalen
Hoerfunkstandard fuer eine nicht marktfaehige Totgeburt,
von Juergen Bischoff_
So kurz vor dem Ziel und dann dieser Tritt in die Kniekehle: In den
naechsten Tagen sollen die Gebuehrenwaechter von der Kommission zur
Ermittlung des Finanzbedarfs der Rundfunkanstalten - kurz KEF - die seit
anderthalb Jahren eingefrorenen Gebuehrenmittel fuer das Digitalradio
freigeben. Dann soll Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB), die viel
geschmaehte neue digitale Sendeart, als DABplus einen hoffentlich
erfolgreichen Senkrechtstart an den Tag legen.
Doch ausgerechnet jetzt stellt sich der Privatsenderverband VPRT quer.
Dabei haben in den letzten Monaten oeffentlich-rechtliche wie
Privatradiovertreter einen DAB-Neustart in der verbesserten Sendenorm
DABplus beschworen. Aber der VPRT spricht sich einstimmig "gegen die im
Herbst 2009 geplante Einfuehrung von DABplus aus". Die Rahmenbedingungen
seien nicht erfuellt: "Die erheblichen Einfuehrungs- und Betriebskosten
koennen von den privaten Radiounternehmen des VPRT nicht aufgebracht
werden." Und auch wenn wie bisher Zuschuesse fliessen wuerden, sieht der
VPRT selbst "bei massgeblicher Foerderung des Systems durch oeffentliche
Gelder (!) fuer die naechsten fuenf bis zehn Jahre nur geringe Chancen auf
eine Teilrefinanzierung aus dem Markt.
Dabei weiss man auch im VPRT, dass die Alternativen, die dort ins
Gespraech gebracht werden, nicht tauglich sind fuer den deutschen
Radiomarkt. Das amerikanische Ausstrahlungsverfahren HD-Radio passt
technisch nicht in das wesentlich engere europaeische Frequenzraster.
Und auch auf das Internetradio zu setzen ist fuer eine Massenverbreitung
komplett unsinnig und - vorgebracht aus der privaten Ecke - vollkommen
unverstaendlich. Mit der Zahl der Hoerer steigen naemlich die
Verbreitungskosten enorm, denn die Hersteller von entsprechender Server-
Software verlangen saftige gestaffelte Lizenzpreise. So duerfte die
derzeitige Skepsis der privaten Sender eher in der Spekulation auf
Staatsknete zu suchen sein. Lange bevor die aktuelle Wirtschaftskrise sich
bemerkbar machte, haben VPRT & Co. immer wieder darauf hingewiesen, dass
es die schwache oekonomische Basis der Dudelsender diesen es nicht
ermoeglicht, die Kosten fuer die zusaetzliche neue Senderinfrastruktur zu
tragen.
Dabei sitzen die Privatsender in einer machtvollen Position. Schon in den
ersten Eroerterungen zur Freigabe von Digitalradiogeldern vor einem Jahr
hat die KEF der ARD die Gretchenfrage gestellt: "Welche Vereinbarungen
gibt es mit den Privatsendern fuer eine erfolgreiche Markteinfuehrung von
DAB-neu?" Inzwischen sind die Argumente des Privatfunks bei der
Lobbyorganisation Initiative Marketing Digital Radio (IMDR) auf Resonanz
gestossen. In einer "Handlungsempfehlung" schlaegt sie u. a. einen
Digitalisierungsfonds vor, in den der Bund Millionen einbringt, um die
Senderinfrastruktur "aehnlich wie beim Strassen- oder Kabelnetzaufbau"
bereitzustellen. Auch wird verlangt, dass alle Radiogeraete, die ab 2010
in den Handel kommen, zwingend ein Digitalempfangsteil eingebaut haben.
Darueber hinaus bringt die IMDR eine "Abwrackpraemie" fuer die Anschaffung
neuer Digitalradios ins Gespraech.
Allein die Pflicht, digitale Empfangsteile einzubauen, wird von Kritikern
der DAB-Politik schon seit Jahren gefordert und kostet den Staat nichts.
Eigentlich waere eine Verpflichtung zu digitalen Empfangsteilen sogar eine
Aufgabe fuer die EU-Kommission, damit beispielsweise Autoradios von
Lissabon bis Helsinki in der Lage sind, digitale Radiosignale zu
empfangen, doch ausgerechnet hier hat sich die zustaendige Kommissarin
Viviane Reding im letzten Sommer - im Gegensatz zum Handy-TV - aus der
Verantwortung gezogen und den Mitgliedstaaten die Regelungskompetenz
ueberlassen.
(t_a_z, 29.06.2009; via Juergen Lohuis-D)
Der TAZ Artikel ist nuechtern neutral geschrieben, und beleuchtet die
Hintergruende der Ablehnung von DAB+ heute, von den nicht interessierten
Verlagen und Medienmoguln.
Danke Juergen, endlich mal ein annaehernd sachlicher Beitrag zum
zukuenftigen DAB+ Radio.
Alle anderen Beispringers-Journalisten schreiben nur parteiisch fuer den
VPRT und die bekannten Verlage/Kirch, mit der Angst im Nacken, dass die 60
ARD Programme/auch die regionalen / dann bundesweit terrestrisch hoerbar
sind, wie jetzt schon vom Digital Satellit. 14 Buckets mit je 9 Mux
Channels ergaeben 126 Programme BUNDESWEIT.
Es muss der Tag kommen, ab dem kein 100 Watt PipiFax-UKW Abspieler mehr
ins bestehende UKW Band gepresst wird. Dann ist Ruhe, und zusammen mit den
neuen Autoradios auch ein Uebergang auf kombinierte DAB+/UKW Empfaenger
moeglich.
Aber wenn sich bei uns die foederale Politik einmischt, kommt
gebrauchsmaessig und technisch bestimmt eine Totgeburt heraus. Warum
funktioniert das in der Schweiz und in Suedtirol so gut ?

MALAYSIA 11884.7 VOM, June 25 at 1148 fair signal with rolling fades in
ballad, noticeably distorted audio, 1152 announcement in Chinese; 1208 in
talk, presumably news, 1210 back to a song. 1228 a bit of Chinese operatic
music, 1229 brief announcement and 1230 open carrier for a few minutes.
No IDs discernible, but who else is on 11884.7? PWBR '2009' shows 11884v,
but Ron Howard frequently logs it close to 11884.7, which should round to
11885, not 11884.
This is the VOM Chinese service at 1130-1230, and not jammed! Is it for
overseas Chinese around SE Asia? No, target is Beijing area, with 50 or
100 kW at 25 degrees from Kajang site, and thus also favoring us.
Perhaps the ChiCom consider VOM too insignificant to bother with, and/or
from a country sufficiently autocratic to be rated as friendly. No het
audible either from anything on 11885.0 tho Aoki shows PBS Xinjiang,
Uruemqi is also on in Uighur, running 50 kW at 230 degrees. Nice to hear
VOM here, as I never have any luck with VOM on 15295, or any of the 7 MHz
Malaysian channels.

PAKISTAN I have now received a printed copy of R. Pakistan's external

closed.
However, Islamabad (Rewat) API-8 100 kW is listed as carrying Regional

Rawalpindi (10 kW) on 4790 at 0230-0425 and 1335-1430.
I think these timings will actually be 1 hour earlier due to DST. There
are no longer programmes in Balti or Sheena listed, and of course their

POLAND Wie der deutschsprachige Dienst des Polnischen Rundfunks
mitteilte, hat das Parlament in Warschau ein neues Mediengesetz
verabschiedet. Danach wird die Mediengebuehr (Rundfunkgebuehr) gestrichen.
Der Polnische Rundfunk soll dann auf Geld angewiesen sein, welches die
Regierung bewilligt. Dem oeffentlich-rechtlichen Rundfunk in Polen wird
KEINE Mindestsumme seitens der Regierung zugesagt.
Falls das Gesetz vom Staatspraesidenten unterschrieben wird, kann der
Polnische Rundfunk einen Grossteil seiner TV- und Radioprogramme nicht
mehr finanzieren. Es ist anzunehmen, dass dann auch fuer die
Auslandssendungen kein Geld mehr da sein wird. Ausserdem wuerden die noch
verbleibenden wenigen Programme des Polnischen Rundfunks wegen der neuen
Art der Finanzierung in die vollstaendige Abhaengigkeit von der Politik
geraten.

RUSSIA/KALININGRAD The listed DRM transmissions on 9730 at 0800 UT via
Moscow (Russian World Service to Europe) and at 1700 on 9880 via
Kaliningrad (Italian followed at 1800 by French) are being heard in
analogue instead. A correspondent tells me that German via listed
Kaliningrad on 9730 at 1000 UT and Russian at 1300-1400 via Moscow on 9750
have also been operating in analogue.
However, 12055-12060-12065 at 0900 listed via Moscow in English is heard
sending in DRM as is 9805-9810-9815 listed Moscow in German at 1700. I
also checked 9445 listed via Irkutsk to Asia between 1200 and 1600 and
this appeared to be a DRM transmission - I couldn't hear any analogue -
but needs to be checked again due local noise.

Recently I read on the Shortwavesites SW Radio Transmitter Site Archive
704, 705 for April 2008 about some confusion with the names Vladivostok -
Razdolnoje (or Ussurijsk - Razdolnoje) transmitter sites. Because you were
involved in the debate of this topic, I decided to write to you, though
it's a bit late.
My sister in-law, who left Russia for Canada about 10 years ego, lived in
Ussurijsk quite a long time and she knows that region pretty well. And
here's what she told me:
Most of the place-names there still bear Ukrainian background -
Razdolnoje, Tavrichanka, Chernigovka, Poltavka - etc. - as a result of
Stalin's repression of the Ukrainian nation for the active resistance
against collectivization in the 30's, when hundreds of thousands
Ukrainians were forcibly moved to the Far East and Siberia.
The name Tavrichanka comes from Tavria - an ancient name of Crimea, now
Ukraine, and Ukrainian toponymic Razdolnoje could be translated like wide
open area. A big village, Razdolnoje is located between two cities of
Vladivostok and Ussurijsk about 50 km from each other and famous for being
the longest village.
About 10 years ego my sister in-law could see the huge radar complexes
installed there during the Cold War as part of the defence system to scan
the Pacific region [OTHR on HF, presumably gh]. Not so far from them there
are SW Broadcast transmitting antennas.
It's necessary to mention that this area always in Soviet times
chronically suffered from a shortage of energy (electricity particularly)
and even now little changed. But it was never for military objects like
radar. This is possibly why nowadays 19 out of 30 hours weekly
transmission come from Razdolnoje.
I think that the source of confusion with the names was because of the
geographical location of Razdolnoje just in between two cities. The minor
town of Razdolnoje may gravitate to the major city of Vladivostok rather
than to Ussurijsk just in the minds of Russian bureaucrats. In accordance
with Administrative Division both Razdolnoje and Tavrichanka neither
belong to Vladivostok nor to Ussurijsk. But Tavrichanka is closer to
Vladivostok.
That, I believe, was in the minds of the Russians who gave the
registration data about their yearly transmissions. When I read, for
example, on the A09 - 7330 kHz - 2 hours from Vladivostok - Razdolnoje and
2 from Ussurijsk - I'm sure that all 4 hours of transmissions are coming
from the same transmitter in Razdolnoje, despite that they put slightly
different coordinates.
The last could be explained by remains of former Soviet mentality to give
just false coordinates for the sites on official maps. So, I can give my
verdict: 'Vladivostok - Razdolnoje' and 'Ussurijsk' are synonyms for the
same transmitter site in Razdolnoje. I hope, this information would be
interesting to some DXers.

INTERNATIONAL. Scan of Amateur Radio 40m band, 7095 thru 7200, at 1408,
June 28.
7095 - PBS Nei Menggu (weak). Is this a new spur?
7105 - PBS Nei Menggu (good).
7110 - UNID station, weak. Sounded Asian, do not believe it was Ethiopia,
but who?
7115 - PBS Nei Menggu (weak). Is this also a spur? All three were in
parallel. Have noticed these recently.
7130 - CNR-1 echo jamming (good); \\ 5030; jamming Taiwan.
7140 - R. Australia; am still hearing this; \\ 9590. Is this just another
erroneous signal produced by my E-1?
7165 - Radio Ethiopia, usual chanting/singing [long path]
7185 - CNR-1 echo jamming (good); \\ 5030; jamming Taiwan.
7200 - R. Rossii via Yakutsk (good).
