6035, 24/3 0001 BBS, Bhutan, talks by man followed by monks' slow music, fair/good. It sound like they are on airwith 100 kW again (Giampiero Bernardini, RX: Perseus, ANT: Wellbrook LFL 1010, QTH: Bocca di Magra, Italia,dxldyg via WOR 1505, DXLD)

The BBS transmitter was on repair in February 2010, and under test in first week of March, it was irregular then, butlast 10 days its noted strong & continuous between 0100 UTC to 1500 UTC, I think they have recommissioned the100kw Thompson TXR at full duty... The Signal is very strong like S9+30 db here without any ext. antenna (- I leaveonly approx. 350+ KM aerial distance from Thimpu, Bhutan) and can be listened very well without erecting anytelescopic whip, inside living room, great audio with S9+.

Try 0500-0600 and 0800-0900 UT in English (Partha Sarathi Goswami, Rx. Sony 7600GR and Redsun RP2100,Siliguri, West Bengal, India) AND English at 14-15, no? That’s only chance in WNAm (gh, DXLD)

6035, BBS (tentative), March 24. Thanks to the timely tip from Giampiero Bernardini! Recently I have checked herefrom about 1330 to 1400 to only find PBS Yunnan in Chinese with no other station noted. Today at 1346 tune-inclearly heard two stations mixing together. BBS seemed to improve over assume Yunnan by 1350; played uniqueindigenous music/singing; announcer taking several on-air phone calls in assume Dzongkha (clearly not inChinese); matches their schedule and as heard here in the past during this time period; played one pop song; after

71400 there was too much QRM from the adjacent splatter to decipher what was happening. Needs more monitoringnow that they have increased their power! (Ron Howard, Asilomar Beach, CA, Etón E1, dxldyg via WOR 1505,DXLD)

CHAD - 6165, just as I tuned in at 0530 March 20, went from drumming to RNT = Radiodiffusion NationaleTchadienne ID, then to YL in French still with drumming intervals. Fair signal but no QRM during this semihour,probably our best chance to hear it before *0559 Bonaire and Croatia.

In A-10 the situation will change, as the Dutch broadcasts via Bonaire move one UT hour earlier at 0400-0427 and0500-0527, and Croatia also starts an hour earlier at 0500. Turkey in English is also on there until 0355 or so.WRTH says Chad starts at 0425, so the window should then be 0427-0459 when propagation should be betteranyway; maybe still audible after 0527 but depending on Croatia QRM or maybe that fading out earlier in summer;not considering possible adjacent- channel problems. Of course Chad could revert to 4905 or 7120 at any time (gh,DXLD)

COLOMBIA - 6010, La Voz de Tu Conciencia (Puerto Lleras) (presumed), 0448-0505, 3/15/2010, Spanish.Upbeat local music. Talk by man and woman regarding "La Familia" at 0454. "Conciencia" mentioned two timesat 0501. Good signal with a hint of cochannel interference from another Spanish language station (probably RadioMil) until 0501:30. At that time RHC attempted to start their English language broadcast with a few 3-5 secondperiods of talk, then 15-20 seconds of no carrier. Finally successful at 0502, RHC dominated the frequencythereafter.(Jim Evans, Germantown, TN, RX-340, IC-R75, Random Wire (90'), ALA100M Loop (20'), dxldyg via DXLD)

CUBA - I’ve yet to find 5040 on the Spanish website, and of course the transmission schedule has not beenupdated. A few days ago RHC said it would start operations on 5040 kHz March 22 at 2300. An announcementrecorded by Jose Bueno gives the Spanish segment on 5040 as 02-11 UT.

On March 22 at 2330, 5040 was indeed on with very good signal amid English. Arnie Coro says it’s a NVIS antennawith limited coverage, but like Rebelde on 5025, it really gets out horizontally as well as vertically.

This does replaces 13790 also for English, no longer heard during the 23-24 hour. Kept monitoring 5040 and heard:0000 French, 0100 Creole, 0130 French, 0200 Spanish. Supposed to run Spanish all the way until 1100 but at 0540noticed it was off; not sure when it quit, but maybe around 0500 when other transmitter/frequency changes aremade.

5040 seems a good clear frequency for RHC, but if you hear a het from 5039.18, that’s poor Radio Libertad, Junín,

11Perú, as measured recently by Bob Wilkner, FL at 1050-1110, and presumably trying to be heard in the evenings.RHC 5040 also squeezes out poor Pará 5045, especially with WWRB staying on 5050 all-night, and presumablyRHC will too later as planned (gh, WOR 1505, DXLD)

Radio Havana Cuba with strong signal on 5040 kHz tonight (22 March) at 2345 UT tune-in as announced on theirwebsite with Caribbean Outlook programme in English. SIO 443 - stronger than Rebelde on 5025 here inUK. Switched to French programme at 0000 UTC.(Alan Pennington, Caversham, UK, AOR 7030+ / longwire, dxldyg via DXLD)

MEXICO - 6185, March 21 at 0534, a fast SAH between XEPPM and reactivated RNA Brasília, the latterdominant with music // 11780, and also atop Vatican on 6185. As UT Sunday, RNA runs all-night, but other nightsoff the air until sometime between 0730 and 0800; March 22 at 0703, XEPPM was still in the clear with ID. It still hasplenty of CCI from Vatican until 0619.

In A-10 shortly, Vatican finishes with 6185 at 0500, so that will help. Unfortunately, CRI via Sackville will still be on6190 at 05-06 but no longer at 03-05 (gh, OK, WOR 1505, DXLD)

In any event, too tightly squeezed betweenWYFR 15115 and REE/Costa Rica 15125, while numerous other channels in the 15.1's are vacant.

Per WRTH 2010, in REE’s needlessly complex schedule, 15125 is in use only on weekends. Aoki and Eibi show

From 0030March 31 I checked sometime during each quarter hour to determine language rotation andgot: 0030 German, 0045 English, 0100 French, 0115 German, 0130 French, 0145 German. You’d think they wouldhave a bit more English instead of German to N America; I suppose there was before 0030. Presumably this runsUT Mon-Fri only.Signal was sufficient at first, but had faded considerably and was fluttery by 0200, when it switched to VOR inEnglish // 15425.PMR’s language rotation is not firm: on UT March 29, Joe Hanlon in NJ monitored 9665: English at 0000, 0045 and0130, French at 0015, 0100 and 0145, and German at 0030 and 0115 (gh, WOR 1506, DXLD)

Russia switched to daylight saving time on the night of Sunday, March 28, at 2:00 a.m. local time, when the clockswere moved forward one hour. At the same time in the five regions whose time zones have change their residentswill not have to reset their clocks and watches. Russia has 11 time zones, from Kaliningrad, which lags behindMoscow by one hour to Kamchatka. The time zones which were moved one hour closer to Moscow's time consist

23only of Udmurtia and the Samara region as well as the most eastern time zone, which includes Chukotka andKamchatka. On the night of March 28, five regions, by order of the Russian government will change their timezones. The Kemerovo and the Samara regions, Udmurtia, Kamchatka and Chukotka, do not switch to daylightsaving time. Udmurtia and the Samara Region were moved to Moscow time, and the time zone which containedonly the two areas has ceased to exist. Gone also is the eastern Russian time zone: Chukotka and Kamchatka,which were nine hours ahead of Moscow, now have the same time as Magadan and are now eight hours ahead ofMoscow. The Kemerovo region also moved an hour closer to Moscow time. It is the westernmost of the WesternSiberian Regions whose time zone was moved, outrunning the capital by three hours. It is possible that in future,Russia will abandon the system "summer" and "winter" time, or daylight savings time as it is commonly known in thewest.

THAILAND [and non] - 7365, at 1330 March 19, the bells of HSK9 immediately identify it as R. Thailand, butmixing at equal level with Chinese, 1332 that IDs as CJKT; 1354 recheck seems it is echoing, a sign of jamming.However, HSK9 at 1330 is going from Chinese to Thai, and CNR1 is scheduled 1200-1735 from Shijiazhuang siteper Aoki, so apparently a horrible coincidence rather than overt jamming.

RADIO FREE ASIA RELEASES FOURTH RADIO PIONEER QSL CARD

RFA announces the release of the fourth QSL card in its Radio Pioneer series. The card honorsRussian physicist Alexander S. Popov. Popov demonstrated that a receiver could detect theelectromagnetic waves produced by lightning discharges in the atmosphere many miles away.In 1895, Popov was able to receive and detect the radio waves produced by an oscillator circuit.In 1897 he successfully sent a ship-to-shore transmission over a distance of 3 miles and thenpersuaded Russian naval authorities to begin installing radio equipment in its vessels; just twoyears later he had increased the distance of ship-to-shore transmissions to 30 miles. Popov iscredited being the first to use an antenna in the transmission and reception of radio waves. TheQSL card below will be issued for all valid RFA reception reports from April 1 – June 30, 2010.
