MEXICO 6104.76 XEQM, Candela FM, Merida, at 0635-0710 UT on Jan 29, Spanish talk. Local ballads. Local pop music. Fair signal. (Brian Alexander-PA-USA, DXplorer Jan 30) MOLDOVA/UAE Additional txions of WYFR Family Radio in English to WeEu: 2000-2100 6260 KCH 300 kW 309 deg via TRW=TV Radio Waves [KCH=Grigoriopol] 2000-2100 7240 DHA 250 kW 315 deg via VTC=VT Communications (R BULGARIA DX MIX News, Ivo Ivanov, via wwdxc BC-DX TopNews Jan 25) MOLDOVA 15670 Radio Mada International via Grigoriopol Maiac Moldova [Pridnestrovye] at *1530-1600* UT on Jan 30. I finally remembered to check again for this on the weekend. Yes, they are still here with fair reception; sounded like Malagasy; interview in studio; segment with interviews with a lot of background noise from a large crowd; 1555 UT played nice African ballad till suddenly off with no announcement; fair. 300 kW at 160 degrees. (Ron Howard-CA-USA, dxld Jan 30) No curtain antenna available towards Africa at Grigoriopol Maiac. Most probably the revolving antenna at 47 15 48.82 N 29 24 01.08 E in use. NIGERIA 15120 ... 15119.99 strong at S=9+10dB level at 1935 UT. Modulation amplitude for music segment was too high. But talk audio from studio was superb "clean" tonight. Music selection from West Africa sound was excellent. (wb, wwdxc BC-DX TopNews Jan 30) PAKISTAN The Frequency manager of Radio Pakistan informs me that they will once again broadcast in Nepali, Sinhala and Tamil from February 1st. The existing schedule between 0900 and 1330 UT via API-3 & 4 will be replaced with: 0900-1000 Bangla 1000-1030 Nepali 1045-1145 Hindi 1145-1215 Gujrati The proposal is to use 11580 and 9345 kHz for all of these, but I informed him that both frequencies would probably receive co-ch interference. So the final choice is not yet known. At 1230-1300 UT Sinhali and 1300-1330 UT Tamil is listed for 11580 kHz (this may be changed) and 15630 kHz. Their services in Pashtu and Dari are scheduled from 1300 UT on one - or maybe both - of these transmitters, so it is possible that these services will start at 1345 UT instead via 6235 kHz. I have no positive information about this. (Noel R. Green-UK, wwdxc BC-DX TopNews Jan 25) file:///Z|/DOKUMENTATION-BULLETINS/WWDXD-BCDX/2010/BCDX949.TXT[11.06.2012 10:39:49]
