Габон
I have what sounds like Gabon on 4770, modulation seems low and fading. I think
I'll try to ID them at 0700 UTC; otherwise I'll give it a shot later this season.
(Bogdan Alexadru Chiochiu, Pierresfords, Canada - CumbreDX 1372)

If 4770 was not a typo for 4777 is more likely NBC Kaduna, Nigeria. For some
time it has been very irregular, when on the modulation is very low, sometimes
I have heard what I assume is them with just a strong carrier as well.

If you did mean 4777 it would be Gabon, hear them most mornings when I check
here but their modulation is usually fairly good.

On the subject of low modulation have seen a couple of mentions of Nepal 5005.3
lately, like Kaduna I usually find what I assume is them on 5005.3 on late
evening checks around 0000 but the modulation is very low making content of the
broadcast unintelligible. (Mike WB, USA - CumbreDX 1372)

4830.08 Radio Litoral, Honduras?  I was listening to the AIR station 
here when another distorted signal come on at 1215.  Very distorted but 
seemed to be Spanish with mostly talk.  Fading by about 1250.   Too 
distorted to understand, but if I had to guess, I would say that Radio 
Litoral is trying to reactivate their SW transmitter, which
has been off for quite some time. (Hans Johnson Dec 30, Ochopee, Florida - CumbreDX

Израиль
Kol Israel --- The new frequency of 13855 (see DXLD 6-001) was heard again on
Monday Jan. 2, starting at 1500 UT and continuing to 1625 with excellent strength.
My copy of a schedule shows Persian (Farsi) at this time and 13580 is listed
as an alternative or reserve frequency. The Kol Israel IS was heard from 1625
to 1630 then music to 1645. Time pips at 1645 and mention of Kol Israel, then
music and talk (in presumed Hebrew) to 1655. I couldn't find any parallel frequencies.
After 1655 and to 1800 the same
as reported Jan.1 but fading caused signal to be very weak (Bernie O'Shea, Ottawa,
Ontario, DX LISTENING DIGEST) Also quite good here (gh, OK, DXLD 6002) 

Индия
4960  AIR Ranchi  Dec.27. 1358-1535 f/out  This morning got a positive 
logging of Ranchi on 4960. Initially heard with a strong signal, but 
audio was some what muffled at tune-in. At first I thought it might be 
CRN, but the format did not match. Indian style of music played with 
comments by announcer in Hindi, from 1358-1411. A drum Roll was heard, 
followed with a commentary feature by male announcer, who seemed to 
mention about the recent recovery in Southern India (Tsunami) 1428 a 
short musical brief played, with pause at 1530, with a possible ID by 
YL.A single Chime or Bell note was heard after the announcements by the 
female announcer. The rest of the pgm ( from 1430 to 1501 was a  Variety 
Program of some of the Nicest Indian Sitar Music played, ranging from 
Ballads to modern vocals, all presented by female singers. 1503 there 
was a single Bell tone, a short advertisement, then back to more Indian 
Music. From 1508 to 1514 this Variety Program was this featured, then at 
1514 went into some sort of Drama Program, featured  live sounds from a 
Market or SeaShore, with sounds of haggling by locals.  1529:30 Program 
was cut in-mid sentence, pause 3+1 Time Notes,( which was cut in 
mid-note) then what sounded like the relay of  AIR news, but it was cut, 
then partial clips, ( there must have been a problem with the audio feed 
or something)as the news was totally inaudible. By 1535 the signal was 
just audible at Best. By far,  the Best reception of this station so 
far. Signal peaked at around 1440 + (as  local sunrise was just 
begining-first light) to about 1520 at which, it ( the signal )  started 
to deteriorate back into the noise.Thanks to Hans Johnson for pointing 
out what the Bell/Chime Notes mean.  (Edward Kusalik, ALB, USA - CumbreDX 1368)

 should be so enthraled to express "Bingo!" on this
ocassion. What must be a common issue for many DXers
with top of the line tabletop receivers and
specialized antennas I just got it with this sort of
toy, ICF 7600 GR. 

What really makes it remarkable is my first time
receiving an African signal on the 25mb. after 15.30.
But there it was this morning Dec. 29, RTM Bamako on
11960, closing a local musical segment at 15.40. For
the next 20 minutes this female announcer went on to
the mike dealing with many topics from football (the
real one) to several "boite postal" adresses. Of
course, all in french. More local pop music at exactly
1600 till nearly fading after 16.30. SINPO 25232. RTM

Radio Spaceshuttle International, RSI, will celebrate New 
Year's time 31st December-1st January being on air for Europe on 
frequencies of 9270-9290 kHz morning-daytimes and for North-America 
13810 and 15800-10/ 15865-15875 kHz daytime UTC (Please try these also 
in Europe). Very best musical Season Wishes to all of you dear 
listeners!
  We faced severe problems during Xmastime, so we had to delate 
transmissions on 3927 and 6240 kHz (both antenna problems). Also 
difficulties with 19 and 22 mb antenna mastworks (so no possibilities 
to change directons from North-America to Europe there). It might be 
same situation during New Years time, so 31 mb 9270-9290 will serve 
Europe a. 08-10 UTC and 19 and 22 mb transmissions are tests towards 
NA...  from 12 to 15 UTC (WE ARE TRYING TO HAVE EUROPEAN DIRECTION 
ANYWAY ALSO on 19 and 22 MB- and if luck we shall be there ( from a. 10 
to 13 UTC)... Mainly on 13810 kHz 22 mb (Hans Johnson, Ochopee, Florida - CumbreDX
1370)

New Year's Eve Radio East Cost Holland and Voice of the Netherlands will be
carrying their traditional joint "end of the year" broadcast.
The broadcast will start quite early in the morning and the end will be some
time in the (late) afternoon.
Most likely pxs can be heard  on 6275 kHz/ 48 metres and surprisingly also
on 1584 kHz. The latter AM frequency will be used to reach local and
regional audiences.
Important: response to the live pxs is more than welcome. Both stations
don't use the Hoogeveen maildrop anymore, so what left is e-mail or the
phone. No QSLs
cards will be available.
For International calls use the Int. accesscode +31-6- 25426740 . Within The
Netherlands the number is  0625426740.
Alternatively you can e-mail < eastcoastholland@hotmail.com >.
So...tune in tomorrow to the traditional joint New Year's Eve broadcast from
the boys from Hoogeveen...it'll be double fun !!

5030 BURKINA FASO, RTB / Radio Burkina, Ougadougou, Primero de Enero 2006, 0500
- es una emis?ra que yo escuchio con el volumen muy bajo durante discuciones
interesantes con mi novia que es ? bastante interesada al DX ! Ellos teniden
"Alou May?" de Tikenjah Fakoly, uno de mi cantantes Africanos m?s queridos y
otra m?sica reagge, soukous y Afropop que no conozco y comentarios en frances
con la identificaci?n "Radio Burkina". ? La mayor parte de las canciones fueren
hermosas ! (Chiochiu-QC)

6010 ? Radio Republika ?, 31 de Diciembre 2005, 2045 - con un se?al de interval
de cantos de aves sigue con locuci?n y identificaci?n posible c?mo Radio Republika,
pero no soy seguro. SIO 252. (Chiochiu-QC)

6180 BRAZIL, Radio Nacional, Brasilia, Primero de Enero - ? Fuere en aire toda
la noche ! Por est? razon, 6185 Radio Educaci?n fue una sintonia dificil en la
noche de Sabado-Domingo. (Chiochiu-QC)

Yo tenido tambien emis?ras Brazile?as en 4885 y 4915, pero 4985 fue vac?o. Yo
fue m?s cansado en la noche de Sabado por idnetificar Mali-4785 pero yo espero
tener suerte con est? emis?ra una otra vez.

Medi Un tenido en alguna noche un programo especial de r&b con comentarios en
franc?s. El locutor diga que la fiesta del a?o nuevo va a continuar mucho m?s
en el d?a de ayer tambien. Normalmente, a esta h?ra Medi Un tiene programaci?n
en 

En una de las proximas ma?ana, cunado yo voy a tener bastante nergie por levantar
antes el levante del sol, yo voy a ensayar la emis?ra deportiva de Toronto en
los 590 kHz. Es una emis?ra Norte-Americana que yo quiero tener en mi libro de
notaciones (logbook), pero yo creo que ellos son direccionales por evitar interferencias
sobre WNEW, CKRS y VOCM. Yo espero poder tener una bonita recepci?n de ZIZ-555
y 1 o 2 emis?ras trans-Atlanticas en la proxima noche. (Bogdan Chiochiu, Pierrefonds,

I struggled for 2 hours this morning to ID the US station on 1700 khz.
Signal gradually got stronger around 0700 utc and the peak took place about
local sunrise hee.
It was a national programme about 2006 predictions (how original !!) .There
was a "Doctor " on the line talking about earthquakes (how smart !!) .
There were commercials, one with a phone number starting 866.
The news at the top of the hour included the slogan "newsradio".
They did not sound local at all.
The station identification included "talk about it" and the city name ended
by "ville" which pretty much leaves us with Huntsville AL or Brownsville TX.
Antenna (ALA1530 Loop active) was beamed to Iceland.All other channel empy
(1510, 1470,1390,1660,1680)
Show resuming was introduced by Moroder's "midnight express theme" at 0605.
First minutes after 0700 Here Comes The Sun by G Harrisson .

I logged on to WEUP website (seems to be associated to WEUV but the live
stream was Gospel music which did not at all match what I had in my
receiver headphones).
Maybe WEUV and WEUP are 2 separate stations, one for Gospel and one for
preaching.(Patrice Privat, Paris, France - hard-core-dx 37, 3)

Киргизия
4010 Kyrgyz Radio rcvd letter and paper QSL in 16 d for f/up
e-mail report to snbckr@hotmail.kg and ntrk@ktr.kg so not sure which address
got the report there. Letter and QSL (latter also had an official station
seal) were signed by K.S. Moldokasymov, President, National Telebroadcasting
Corporation. Reception was from Nov 18 2004 and corresponded to audio file
uploaded to DXplorer S&S shortly thereafter. Original report sent 12/07/04
w/ registered mail, return receipt - got the receipt, but no QSL from that
report! Tnx to a CumbreDX item from 12/14/05 for the e-mail address and
name. Interestingly the letter had corrections for year and time zone and
another e-mail address of hofnung.Lena@mail.ru was at the bottom of the ltr,
almost like another station official reviewed the letter before it left. EE
had interesting grammar (but much better than my Russian, Hi!) but I was
very happy to get this... (Bruce Churchill, Fallbrook, CA - CumbreDX 1373)

Техника приема
Не знаю, сработает ли это на всех приёмниках, но в моём, при покупке в
некоторых верхних ячейках памяти (с номерами A0..FE) был забит
ФМ-диапазон с пустой частотой. Вот если выбрать такую ячейку, перейти
в режим настройки частоты валкодером и начать его вращать, на
индикаторе будет отображаться частота с отражённой цифрой "6" в
старшем разряде. Уже не помню в какую сторону его нужно крутить - но
если его крутить достаточно долго, то вскоре приёмник попадёт в ФМ
диапазон и начнёт настраиваться на станции. Если частота настройки
смещена на 50 мГц (именно мегагерц), то можно попытаться перестроить
валкодером приёмник на 150 (или 250) МГц. Тогда частота будет
отображаться правильно с перевёрнутой "6" в левом разряде. Во время
перестройки во ВСЕХ разрядах ЖКИ-индикатора появляется "мусор", который
может сбивать с толку.
Если ещё долго и усердно крутить валкодер (помоему всё-таки вверх по
частоте), то можно выйти на ФМ-диапазон с нормальной индикацией
частоты, но он так-же не отображается на индикаторе диапазонов и не
ограничен рамками 76-108. Правда, в этом варианте чувствительность у
приёмника ниже. А вот в варианте с перевёрнутой "6" - чувствительность
такая же как и в его стандартном ФМ-диапаззоне.
Естественно любую частоту можно записать в память и затем вызывать.
Вообще этот приёмник со своими скрытыми "глюками" очень напоминает
советсткий калькулятор МК-52 и ему подобные. Отклонишься от инструкции
и попадаешь в зазеркалье :) (Ярослав, Одесса - open_dx 990)
