CNR3
Voice of Music (Yinyue zhi Sheng), from an UNID
location. Wei Wei believes this could be from
southwestern China. |
| 846 |

CNR
"Minzu Guangbo". This station is probably
from northeast China, but who knows more? It
has a website at minzuguangbo.com. |

on 1125 kHz.  |

Xizang PBS (Hanyu Guangbo) with many low power
transmitters around XZ. |

Wuhan Economic Service (Jingji Guangbo), UNID
QTH // 900, 1125 AM. Of the two listed locations
in Hubei, Qichun would be more likely than Jingzhou,
because it is closer to Wuhan. |
| 999 |
19.9. |

Radio Afghanistan, Orzu, in Farsi. This is apparently
a new frequency for a monster powerful 500-kW
transmitter. |
| 1215 |
25.9. |

CNR
"Minzu Guangbo", from an unknown location.
This sounded like a powerful transmitter, and
the broadcast was in Chinese. Could this be
the Baishan transmitter in Jilin, which was
supposed to transmit CNR8 Minzu zhi Sheng in
Korean? |

Voice of Music, UNID QTH. ID in Chinese as "Yunye
zhi shneng", but also in English as simply
"Music Radio". |
| 1458 |
20.9. |

Fuxing
Guangbo Dientai, Kaohsiung City. This is a relatively
new Taiwanese station, which I neglected to
report last season, so now I finally recorded
its ID. |

Sichuan PBS "Sichuan Minzu Guangbo"
(Minorities Radio "Voice of Golden Bridge"),
Serxu SC, heard in Tibetan and in Chinese. This
station has probably never before been heard
in Europe, but is bound to become a relatively
common catch after CRI vacated the frequency.

Radio Masjid Sunda Kelapa, Jakarta. No ID, but
the combo of Indonesian-language announcements
and recitation of the Koran can't be anything
else. Occasionally this was dominating the frequency. |

ABC Hobart, Tasmania. It was nice to finally
score this last remaining Australian state.
Otherwise propagation conditions to Australia
were miserable considering that this should
have been the best time of the year. |

Coral Gables FL was a neat surprise, peaking
at exactly the time of the top-of-the-hour local
station ID. |

WCHB Royal Oak MI. Not reported now, but instead
a couple of weeks later on AIH142 DXpedition,
when the reception was better. |

WFLW Monticello KY was perhaps the best catch
of all during this extremely short opening:
Three new stations in three minutes with the
rest of the night just junk. And what a cool
format - Classic Country, my favorite! |

KPXQ
Glendale AZ. |

WZNG
Shelbyville TN // 100.9 FM with real classic
rock. After making a recording of the station
ID, I realized I already had an ID of this station
from years ago, but I had forgotten to send
a report. Oh well. |
| 1460 |
30.9. |
0701 |
WQXM
Bartow FL, "WQXM Ritmo 99" was looking
for sales agents (ejecutivos de venta), so here
is your job opportunity! |
| 1470 |
20.9. |
0343 |
WVOL
Berry Hill TN, "The Mighty 147". This
was heard during an opening to Tennessee, which
lasted only a few minutes. Otherwise the entire
night and morning was boring with just the usual
suspects on the dial. |
| 1470 |
23.9.
29.9. |

WWNN
Pompano Beach FL. The transmission ceased to
be heard at 2330 UTC (in October), when nighttime
power and antenna pattern came into force. |
| 1470.0566 |

Alcoa TN, "Truth Radio", way off its
nominal frequency. |

Quincy MA, signing off in September at this
time, and heard also on a couple of other evenings. |

WVBF Middleborough Center MA. Fortunately a
promotional announcement for a program producer
right at the top of the hour, when Romania aired
its time signal instead of spoiling everything
by talking. The station included a sentence
of Finnish in its verification email: "Kiitos,
että kuuntelit" (Thank you for listening.)

WAMA
Tampa FL, "WAMA, Tampa-Clearwater-St.Petersburg,

HJAS
La Cariñosa, Barranquilla. A local ID
"La Cariñosa, 1400 AM", but
unfortunately it didn't mention the city. There's
also another station of the same network in
Armenia. The offset matches Barranquilla though,
and the ID pattern is what Barranquilla uses
(based on listening to its web stream). |
