** ARGENTINA
1700 R. Fantastico, 0917, very surprised to uncover this, after first
hearing a huge het against the mess on 1701. Local music, "Fantastico
FM" sweeper. Don't see this listed in WRTH, so had a look on the net and
found they have a Facebook page. Would be curious to know how much power
they're running. 19 May. (David Sharp, NSW: FT-950, NRD-535D, R8,
ICF-SW7600GR, PR-D5, ICF-2010, Timewave 599zx, MFJ 1026, MFJ 959C,
Palstar MW550P, SP-2000 speaker. Also 100m noise-reducing aerial and 50m
dipole.)
** AUSTRALIA
2368.46 R. Symban, 1122, noted off-freq and with poor
telco-quality/humming audio. Otherwise, still very strong, even with
lower power. 16 May. (David Sharp, NSW: FT-950, NRD-535D, R8,
ICF-SW7600GR, PR-D5, ICF-2010, Timewave 599zx, MFJ 1026, MFJ 959C,
Palstar MW550P, SP-2000 speaker. Also 100m noise-reducing aerial and 50m
dipole.)
** BAHRAIN
6010 Radio Bahrain, English, 2120, fair with British/Euro pop music,
brief comments by a woman. All alone on freq but fading fast. 13 May.
(David Sharp)
9745 USB Radio Bahrain, 1459, Arabic, ads to news at 1500, which was
read by a man (and began with presumed headlines, with brief music
between comments. Only fair, with splatted from powerhouse BBC (via
Singapore) on 9740. 13 May. (David Sharp, NSW: FT-950, NRD-535D, R8,
ICF-SW7600GR, PR-D5, ICF-2010, Timewave 599zx, MFJ 1026, MFJ 959C,
Palstar MW550P, SP-2000 speaker. Also 100m noise-reducing aerial and 50m
dipole.)
** BOLIVIA
5580.23 R. San Jose, 1017, presumed with local music, time check as "Son
las seis y 17 minutos..." First time reception. 19 May. (David Sharp)
5952.43 Radio Pio XII? 1115, Spanish station here, with general
conversation at first, then into comments by a child. Very tough copy,
with several stations short-spaced in this area. Certainly not Radio
Republica relay...needs more work. 19 May. (David Sharp, NSW: FT-950,
NRD-535D, R8, ICF-SW7600GR, PR-D5, ICF-2010, Timewave 599zx, MFJ 1026,
MFJ 959C, Palstar MW550P, SP-2000 speaker. Also 100m noise-reducing
aerial and 50m dipole.)
** CANADA
6069.97 CFRX, 0849, back after brief absence and pretty strong (S9+20),
with usual overnight program of stand-up comedy. 13 May. (David Sharp)
6159.98 CKZU and CKZN? 0900, CBC News, but it sounded out-of-phase, with
a fractional second echo (similar to multi-path effect, but more
subtle). Simultaneous reception of both stations? Warbly audio and NO
het (which would be expected, because it's unlikely both transmitters
are "precisely" off-frequency). 13 May. (David Sharp, NSW: FT-950,
NRD-535D, R8, ICF-SW7600GR, PR-D5, ICF-2010, Timewave 599zx, MFJ 1026,
MFJ 959C, Palstar MW550P, SP-2000 speaker. Also 100m noise-reducing
aerial and 50m dipole.)
** CONGO (Brazzaville)
6115 Radio Congo, 1817, French, I'm pretty sure this is the one, with
rambling talk by a man and occasional music bridges. But modulation
continues to drop and it's difficult to copy. Not much on the freq prior
to 1800. but seemed to peak by 1815. 18 May. (David Sharp, NSW: FT-950,
NRD-535D, R8, ICF-SW7600GR, PR-D5, ICF-2010, Timewave 599zx, MFJ 1026,
MFJ 959C, Palstar MW550P, SP-2000 speaker. Also 100m noise-reducing
aerial and 50m dipole.)
** CHINA
3900 Hulun Buir, 1210, fair with Chinese (or similar-sounding dialect)
conversation, by a man and woman, then further comments by a man and
into local music. Fair. 10 May. (David Sharp, NSW: FT-950, NRD-535D, R8,
ICF-SW7600GR, PR-D5, ICF-2010, Timewave 599zx, MFJ 1026, MFJ 959C,
Palstar MW550P,
SP-2000 speaker. Also 100m noise-reducing aerial and 50m dipole.)
** DEMOCRATIC CONGO
5066.33 Radio Tele-CANDIP, 1839, French, nice local music and talk by a
man. Only partially readable, due to co-channel UTE. 11 May. (David
Sharp, NSW: FT-950, NRD-535D, R8, ICF-SW7600GR, PR-D5, ICF-2010,
Timewave 599zx, MFJ 1026, MFJ 959C, Palstar MW550P, SP-2000 speaker.
Also 100m noise-reducing aerial and 50m dipole.)
** GUINEA
7125 RTVG, French, 0636, good with talk by a woman, brief Cora music and
simple ID as "Radio-Guinee." Then, only a minute or so later,
"Radio-Diffusion Nationale" ID. 16 May. (David Sharp, NSW: FT-950,
NRD-535D, R8, ICF-SW7600GR, PR-D5, ICF-2010, Timewave 599zx, MFJ 1026,
MFJ 959C, Palstar MW550P,
SP-2000 speaker. Also 100m noise-reducing aerial and 50m dipole.)
** KOREA, NORTH
2349.28 KCBS Sariwon, 1146, very poor with triumphal music, running same
program as 2850.02. Rare catch. 16 May. (David Sharp)
5700.12 H KCBS Pyongyang, 1515, weak with usual patriotic hymns, 2x
2850.06. Anyone else hearing this? 13 May. (David Sharp, NSW: FT-950,
NRD-535D, R8,
ICF-SW7600GR, PR-D5, ICF-2010, Timewave 599zx, MFJ 1026, MFJ 959C,
Palstar MW550P, SP-2000 speaker. Also 100m noise-reducing aerial and 50m
dipole.)
** MADAGASCAR
6135.299 Radio Malagasy, 1440, indescript talk by Malagasy man, best in
USB to escape weak unID on fundamental. First time I have heard this
freq in awhile. 7105 remains untraced. 13 May.(David Sharp, NSW: FT-950,
NRD-535D, R8, ICF-SW7600GR, PR-D5, ICF-2010, Timewave 599zx, MFJ 1026,

Timewave 599zx, MFJ 1026, MFJ 959C, Palstar MW550P, SP-2000 speaker.
Also 100m noise-reducing aerial and 50m dipole.)
** BOLIVIA
3309.98 R. Mosoj Chaski, 1007, presumed with mensajes or similar, did
not catch an ID but did hear a couple of references to "Cochabamba."
Mostly weak, but fair on peaks. 11 May. (David Sharp)

music and frequent comments by uptempo man. 11 May. (David Sharp)

by a man, but no ID. 10 May. (David Sharp)
6134.77 Radio Santa Cruz, 0940, good with rustic vocals, weak carrier on
high side, so best in LSB. 12 May. (David Sharp, NSW: FT-950, NRD-535D,
R8, ICF-SW7600GR, PR-D5, ICF-2010, Timewave 599zx, MFJ 1026, MFJ 959C,
Palstar MW550P, SP-2000 speaker. Also 100m noise-reducing aerial and 50m
dipole.)
** BRAZIL
4804.989 R. Dif. do Amazonas, 1002, very good with rapid-fire talk by

Palstar MW550P, SP-2000 speaker. Also 100m noise-reducing
aerial and 50m dipole.)
** COLOMBIA
5909.94 Alcaravan Radio, 0930, very good with traditional vocals, ID and
comments by a woman over guitar music bed, brief comments by a man and
back to music. 12 May. (David Sharp)
6035.03 La Voz del Guaviare, 1015, Spanish, presumed with Rosary

Also 100m noise-reducing aerial and 50m dipole.)
** COSTA RICA
5954.26 R. Republica ELCOR relay, 0928, Spanish, tune-in to convenient
ID by a woman, and into a discussion about (what else?) Cuba.
Surprisingly clear and free of jamming. 11 May. (David Sharp, NSW:

noise-reducing aerial and 50m dipole.)
** DOMINICAN REPUBLIC
6025.13 Radio Amanecer, Spanish, 1014, noted with partial copy on 12
May, with sermon by a man. Always difficult copy with powerhouse Radio
Australia on 6020. So, I was very surprised to have even better copy at
1040 on 18 May, with Spanish hymns and nearly perfect copy in USB.
(David Sharp, NSW: FT-950, NRD-535D, R8, ICF-SW7600GR, PR-D5, ICF-2010,

aerial and 50m dipole.)
** GUATEMALA
4055 Radio Verdad, 1106, already on with hymns and occasional talk by a

at 1058, then into National Anthem, fair-good. (David Sharp, NSW:
FT-950, NRD-535D, R8, ICF-SW7600GR, PR-D5, ICF-2010, Timewave 599zx, MFJ
1026, MFJ 959C, Palstar MW550P, SP-2000 speaker. Also 100m

** HONDURAS
3249.51 R. Luz y Vida, 1117, no ID, but presume the one with Spanish

noise-reducing aerial and 50m dipole.)
** UnID Latin
4721.06 Unidentified, 0950, someone here; threshold. Brief snippets of
music make me think it's Bolivian or Peruvian, but could easily be
