BRAZIL-  RÁDIO RGS, Porto Alegre, plans to transmit soon in Spanish and
English, in order to cover all of S America, on 6160. Announcers are
studying the languages. A new Continental transmitter has also been
acquired from Chile for the same frequency. Info from Paulo César

COSTA RICA-  DISABILITY RADIO WORLDWIDE (30 minutes) Week of April 3:
Mon: 1900/Thur: 2000/Fri: 1700- [repeated 8, 16 hours later] Guest: Tim
Hendel --- Where and how a child with a disability gets an education has
a lasting, lifelong effect on social development, independence and
academic achievement. Is it always an advantage for a disabled child to
attend a fully integrated school? Are there advantages for such a child
if she or he attends a separate school with other children who have the
same disability? Tim Hendel attended the New York State School for the
Blind and he contends that a purely integrationist philosophy is missing
something very important about people with disabilities. (RFPI Weekly
Update via DX LISTENING DIGEST 00-48, April 3, 2000 edited by Glenn
Hauser)

COSTA RICA-  Notes from RFPI Mailbag first airing March 31 at 2000, with
Debra Latham and Joe Bernard: while 6975 is down for repairs, 15049 is
running 24h, and 25930-USB expanded to about 1300-0300. James has been
atop the tower for  hours at a time, but needs help from another antenna
climber, being awaited. It is hard to get antennas to withstand tropical
conditions and 30 kW of load; the cubical quad for 6975 had various
harmonic problems [not that we ever heard any trace of 2x or higher
harmonics here -gh]. A backup antenna built in November blew apart
previously. So antenna improvements are in the planning stage. Hope to
have 6975 back on in a few more days running 2200-0800 (and nothing was
heard here about changing the frequency). Also, the long-dormant RFPI
Weekly Program Update is expected to resume distribution April 2.
Progressive News Network has been reduced to three days a week for the
time being, so that it could be maintained at the previous level of
quality despite reduced resources; rather than dropping it completely,
or spreading resources too thin on a 5-day basis. BTW, WOR 1030 was at
RFPI in time to start airing Thursday March 30 but for some reason ran
at 2230 plus repeats instead of 2300 (Glenn Hauser, DX LISTENING DIGEST
00-47, April 1, 2000 edited by Glenn Hauser)

COSTA RICA- We first noticed the geomagnetic storm April 6 around 2315
when WOR at its new time on RFPI started to flutter heavily on 15049,
unusual for a signal from the south; after-effect allowed 25930-USB to
be audible after 0500 UT April 7 (Glenn Hauser, OK DX LISTENING DIGEST
00-50, April 7, 2000 edited by Glenn Hauser)

CUBA- Dxer locutor Manolo de la Rosa is back at Radio Havana pgm "
Hablando de Diexismo con Manolo de la Rosa" last Sunday of every month
at 0130 on 9505; same pgm on the following Saturday on R. Rebelde on
5025 at 0500. ( C. Viazzo, Argentina / Play DX # 1063 April 03)

ECUADOR- 4802.5, Radio Oriental 1027, Ad block, Announcer with time
check and ID. Good strength but drifting wobbly carrier. This is my unID
4801 from last week (Mark Mohrmann, VT, Apr 2, DX LISTENING DIGEST
00-48, April 3, 2000 edited by Glenn Hauser)

ECUADOR- Greetings from Quito. This note is especially for our listeners
in Europe. Because of interference on our new A00 frequency from
0600-0800 UTC, we will move to 15160 kHz as of 2 April 2000. We welcome
information on this revised frequency, and will be more than happy to
QSL your report. Just let us know you want one of our QSL cards. Thank
you for lots of interesting information shared on the list. Blessings on
you all from The Voice of The Andes. (Allen Graham, Producer DX

GERMANY- (?). > 9420 -0600-0700 plus techno music without announcements
until 0700 Male announcement ``Energy Radio now available all over the
world``. It may be written NRG rather than Energy.< Properly it should
read as NRJ. This is a French company with various affiliate FM
stations, also here in Germany. However, a expert hardly believes that
this group will start a shortwave service, as it wants to establish FM
outlets only and has also no any interest in all the new-fangled digital
stuff. His assumption is, that a English station broadcasts as "Energy
Radio" and is not aware the risk to receive a nasty letter from Paris.
By the way, for my feeling the 9420 frequency is "Jülich-like". Regards,
(Kai Ludwig, Germany, March 30, DX LISTENING DIGEST 00-48, April 3, 2000
edited by Glenn Hauser)

GERMANY- (?) Hello, regarding 9420 I should add, that "appears as
Jülich-like" was just to remark, that Jülich meanwhile uses various
frequencies below the official 31 metres band, while Merlin still
confines to long established 9410. Also just as a vague assumptiom:
Perhaps this transmission aimed at North America, considering the time
in the morning. By the way, the former Sunrise Radio frequency 5850 is
used by Jülich now to beam R.G. Stair into the UK from 1100 thorough to
1659, usually accompanied by a radioteletype signal (Kai Ludwig,
Germany, April 6, DX LISTENING DIGEST 00-50, April 7, 2000 edited by
Glenn Hauser )

GREECE-  Checking out the previous report of English at 0200 from VOG,
UT April 5 15630, 12110 etc did not have English, but mostly music at
this hour; and at former English time of 0300 there was music and Greek
talk. Has VOG virtually ceased broadcasting in English, which with a few
exceptions was limited to some 10 minutes of news on a number of
transmissions? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST 00-49, April 5,
2000 edited by Glenn Hauser)

GREECE- VOG English to NAm is now at 0200-0208, on 7450 which has jammer
and RTTY, 9420, 12110 instead of 12105, and 15630 (Bob Thomas, CT, March
31, DX LISTENING DIGEST 00-48, April 3, 2000 edited by Glenn
auser)  ---  But the Sunday 1906 music show announced in English, ``It`s
All Greek To Me``, was gone April 2 on 17705, just Greek talk.  Possibly
it shifted to 1806, unchecked (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST
00-48, April 3, 2000 edited by Glenn Hauser)

GUATEMALA- Hopefully me as the one from Washington state mentioned on R.
Verdad per GH in DXLD as I did send a report to Ap. 5, Chiquimula, on 20
March. This could be a good sign! Not being able to understand the name
hardly surprises me as it's difficult enough in printed form; much less
bouncing 2500 miles through static crashes and such. (Terry PALMERSHEIM,
KC7LDP See!, DX LISTENING DIGEST 00-49, April 5, 2000, edited by Glenn
Hauser) --- The mentioned Washington again the next morning; informal
mailbag seems to be around 1135 (gh via DX LISTENING DIGEST 00-49, April
5, 2000, edited by Glenn Hauser)

GUATEMALA- R. Verdad, 4052.5, April 3 1137 acknowledging a report from
Washington State, but could not catch the name. Perhaps someone with a
secret surname, anyway (Glenn Hauser, DX LISTENING DIGEST 00-48, April
3, 2000 edited by Glenn Hauser)

HUNGARY- [non]. As per WRMI's new sked posted on website in advance of
April 2, I did hear R. Budapest at 0330 UT Tue April 4 on 7385. However,
another sked effective April 2 which WRMI distributed, via Hans-Joachim
Koch, shows Viva Miami and UN Caribbean Echo instead for local Monday.
Perhaps Budapest was a one-shot, test, or it did not work out.
Furthermore, there is no indication of R. Polonia or Slovakia relays in
the newer version! (Glenn Hauser, DX LISTENING DIGEST 00-49, April 5,
2000, edited by Glenn Hauser)

KOREA, SOUTH- [non]. RKI made their regular summer shift to 11715
1030-1100 April 2. Reception weak as usual. Considering the numbers of
years this relay [via CANADA] has been in operation, you would think
they would do something about the consistently poor reception (Ivan
Grishin, Ont., DX LISTENING DIGEST 00-48, April 3, 2000 edited by Glenn
Hauser)

MONGOLIA- Glenn, The only good result of Daylight Shifting Time is that
I get up an hour earlier UT and can notice some things I might have
missed. For example: Voice of Min-gewl-ya has moved EG xmsn to AUS to
1030 UT on 12085 kHz; heard with good signal on 4/3. Announced further
EG as 1500 to S. Asia and 2000 to EUR, both on 12015//12085. We are now
at one of the best times of year to hear them, with grayline conditions
around 1050-1130 UT to ECNA. 73, (John Cobb, GA, April 4, DX LISTENING
DIGEST 00-49, April 5, 2000 edited by Glenn Hauser) Oops, in 00-48 I
reverted to defuunct R. Ulaan Baator naame (gh)

MONGOLIA- (?) I have been looking for RUB`s English broadcast previously
at 1200 on 12085 or 12015. April 2 there was nothing audible on 12015,
but on 12085 a fluttery signal in Japanese, featuring wonderful Tuvan
throat-singing at 1217, later ``Estrellita``. Could not detect any ID
before 1230* (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST 00-48, April 3, 2000
edited by Glenn Hauser)

PAPUA NEW GUINEA-  4890 has been ``not heard`` here on the W coast of
NAm for 2 nights. Here's a logging from 9675 two nights ago: Papua New
Guinea 9675 Karai National Radio 0655 APR 3. M anncr with Pop mx
program. ID as Karai National Radio at 0653, then into a short public
service announcement ``transmission reduction in broadcasting due to the
transmitter work. We are now broadcasting from 6 A.M. to 10 P.M.
Daily``) Then back into PNG Pop Mx (local Pidgin Pop and Country Western
with wailing guitars). ID ToH [top of hour] as both NBC and Karai
National Radio, Into News Brief in English by M. More music at 0704. At
0707 another mention that they were only transmitting 6 AM to 10 PM and
that this was ``necessitated by transmitter work....very important
transmitter work``. A few moments later the transmission turned into a
garbled mess - poor modulation (did the transmitter finally go?). Not
heard on 4890; 9675 not normally audible here in PacNorWest at this time
since last October (Don Nelson, OR, April 4, hard-core-dx via DX
LISTENING DIGEST 00-49, April 5, 2000 edited by Glenn Hauser)

PAPUA NEW GUINEA- Maybe I'm on a different West Coast. At 1117 UTC on
Monday 4/3/2000 UTC I clearly heard PNG on 4890.001 KHz with a signal
strength of between -90 to -95 dBm. The male speaking was giving a Bible
lesson on Jeremiah 33 with several "amen" types grunting in agreement as
is often done on such broadcasts. There was some QRM [slight] from what
was probably some sort of digital signal that almost sounded like a
jammer. Signal was SINPO 33343 I am fairly certain I could have heard
this signal on my NRD-525 with a longwire. I have it recorded on DAT or
so my written records indicate. Such are the vagaries of propagation.

PAPUA NEW GUINEA-  From Radio Australia's "Pacific Review" program to be
broadcast this weekend: - PNG's NBC to be Corporatised. Papua New
Guinea's National Broadcasting Commission is to be fully corporatised. A
meeting of provincial radio station managers in Madang has been told
that heavy reliance on government handouts over the past 10 years has
crippled operations. NBC Managing Director Tony Boski says a change from
a public service approach to a more businesslike approach is necessary.

PERU- Actual frequency of R. L. V. de las Huarinjas, reported by Inoue
in DXLD 00-48 is 6819.55. It disappeared from originally distributed
version in editing thanks to peculiarity of MS Word which likes to treat
leading numbers as list headers. BTW, correxions such as this when found
are made immediately on the master archive version of DXLDs on our
website, so if you have a question, check that first (gh, DX LISTENING
DIGEST 00-49, April 5, 2000 edited by Glenn Hauser)

PERU-  Radio La Voz de las Huarinjas, Huancabamba; Thanks to a tip from
PFA, I could hear the station on this new frequency, at 1100- 1120 on
27/MAR/2000, with poor signal. Playing a good seleccion of huaynos and
huylash. The identification was given as ``Desde la centenaria provincia
de Huancabamba, transmite Radio La Voz de las Huarinjas con el mensaje
de peruanidad para toda la sierra norte del Peru.``  Note: According to
the official frequency list of the Ministry of Transports and
Communications, issued in September of 1999, ``La Voz de las Huarinjas
Empresa Individual de Responsabilidad Limitada`` is currently licensed
under the callsign OAW1B, to transmit on the frequency of 4930 kHz in
the 60 meter band with an output power of 1 kW. Studio and transmiiting
site is located at Barrio El Altillo s/n, Huancabamba, Provincia de
Huancabamba, Departamento de Piura, Peru. (Takayuki Inoue Nozaki,

PERU- 2950.32, Radio Ilucan - (2 x 1470 harmonic) April 6 1009, 2nd
harmonic of the nominal 1470 AM outlet, obviously off-frequency. Andean
song followed by clear sign-on ID. Weak and // powerful 5678. (Mark

Which means as usual in NAm we must rely on WRN or internet to get it
