Feb 2 at 1508 UT when I wondered what's this? English and Arabic dialect mixed together, axualities and voice-overs. Reminded me of Libya 17725 kHz but not // . Nor // SRS via Portugal 17745 kHz. At 1510 UT headlines alternating with stingers, "end of news, [www. but lost to fade], FM news, 101 Mira FM" (that's the way it's pronounced, almost dropping the -ya, so I must stop saying Miraya). Somewhat rough modulation, probably a feed input problem rather than a transmission problem. This broadcast at 1500-1800 UT had been on 9825 kHz so far in B-09, where we could not hear it, so welcome back! Furthermore, IRRS found a clear frequency this time instead of resuming 15650 kHz where it collided for months with Greece despite our advice. Ironically, Greece was missing from 15650 kHz at the moment, but was back at 1528 UT check. At 1553 UT, 15670 kHz still audible but weaker, and again mixing English with Arabic.

The UADX has published its first Newsletter since July 1993 as a PDF file on the DXAsia website, edited now, as then, by my good friend Victor Goonetilleke in Sri Lanka. Familiar UADX names such as Gerhard Werdin, Sarath Amukotuwa & Sarath Weerakoon will also be helping Victor, who says that the first edition of the E-Newsletter is meant as an introduction and sample. The next edition is scheduled before the end of February. I hope SWLs and DXers amongst our readership will support this venture. Victor has also written an article about Eclipse Monitoring on 15 January 2010. A UADX blog will also be starting soon. Thanks to Alok das Gupta and his son Abhishek for technical help in getting this material online. file:///Z|/DOKUMENTATION-BULLETINS/WWDXD-BCDX/2010/BCDX950.TXT[11.06.2012 10:39:50]

Covered more space on the 19mb segment. Spurious signals on 15332 to 15368 kHz range, as well as two sidebands at 15284 - 15292 and 15407 - 15416 kHz. Much better and cleaner signals from TRT Emirler side on 11795, and 13690 kHz, as well as Cakirlar site on 11955 and 15480 kHz, at very same time. (wb, wwdxc BC-DX TopNews Feb 4) UK/CROATIA/GERMANY Tnx to a tip from Dragan Lekic-SRB, Voice of Croatia heard testing new 7385 kHz via Woofferton UK, Feb 2 at 0309 UT, YL with weather report in English, then something about recipes. This was // only a slight echo behind usual 7375 kHz, which is Wertachtal 100 kW at 300 degrees plus Nauen 100 kW at 325 degrees. But stronger signal from the Germans. Evidently VTC, or whatever it is called this week, is making a bid to take business away from DTK, or whatever it is called this week. Dragan says this test on 7385 kHz is for four nights only, UT Feb 2-5 at 0300-0500 UT.
