[HCDX] My First Post to the List/ and a Mystery Transmission

["Gloria R. Lalumia" <grlnj@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
My name is Gloria and I'm in Las Cruces, NM about 50 miles north of El 
Paso, TX.....in what I've seen described as a "weak" listening area.   
I'm listening with a Grundig YB400PE with a supplied reel antenna inside 
around my window. A few days ago I put up a 24 ft. insulated, stranded 
12 gauge wire which only reaches about 12 feet high.   Since then 
stations which I was barely hearing are coming in with much stronger 
signals on a good day.

Right now I have a mystery on my hands!!

Today, 7/13 at 12.21 UTC I picked up a station on 9525. I listened until 
1303 when it went off the air.  This is supposed to be a Radio Poland 
broadcast to Europe at that time/freq.   But that's not what was coming in.

It was a music show playing ballads and "light disco"  (not English) 
with a male and female host.  The woman did most of the talking. I 
thought they might be talking some dialect of Spanish or Portuguese; it 
was very "soft", not sounding like "staccato" at all. Later in the 
program it sounded like they were doing dedications or reading listener 
mail...I heard mentions of "Johannes," "Japon," and "Australia."  At one 
point the man said in English, "Always be happy and smile " before 
playing another ballad.
At 12:54  News of some sort came on and I heard the man say "B -AH- M. 
There were mentions of Okinawa, Jakarta, Japan International, and Papua. 
 After a reference to Indonesia, some music composed of bells and 
chimes, very Asian sounding, came ouit and at 13:02 an very serious 
anthem came on before cutoff at 13:03

When I did a freq. search at  http://hfradio.org/swbc/  I found 
absolutely nothing that corresponded to this broadcast!!

Does anybody have a clue??

Gloria
