Subject: Radio Vanuatu, problem with audio on 2485 kHz.

March 9, noted R. Vanuatu on *3945 kHz*., randomly from 0725, till blocked
by strong R. Nikkei 2 (Japan) starting
at *0950. Long segments of interviews in vernacular; played some Pacific
Islands music; normal audio. Assume
3945 closed down about 1000, but unable to confirm.
RV moved down to *2485 kHz*., with transmitter on at *1000, when some
faint audio was heard; rechecking 1037 till off at 1059:46*, had decent
carrier, but virtually no audio; they had lost almost all of their
modulation, unlike my recent very decent March 5 reception which had good
audio. Was able to make out ID (assumed) and clear NA just before
1059:46*, but this was nothing like their normal decent level of
reception. Hope this is just a temporary problem!
- - - - From Facebook (WRTH), regarding Radio Vanuatu:
Mauno Ritola: Today {March 8} I heard them on 3945 kHz, but nothing now at
1020 on either 2485 or 3945 kHz.
This via Brisbane Kiwi SDR.

I looked at that source, short-wave.info - don`t omit the hyphen. It doesn`t
show countries by name. You have to figure them out from map, callsign or
flag.
I kept listening until 0400 UT ID as Alcaravan Radio --- that`s the sibling
station to LV de tu Conciencia, nominally on 5910 but it was not unusual for
them to swap programming.
So at least one of the HJDHs has been reactivated. Long-winded sermon
continued until 0341 switch to another speaker with Bible reading, 0346 hymn
in Mexican style, 0349 anmts, more tunes including tropical rhythms; 0354
``continue con nosotros`` but no ID. 0358 song about carnaval. 0400 mentions
Mexico nortena and Colombia, finally definite ID in passing, more tropical
music.

Glenn, I was mistaken, source short-wave.info shows it is Colombia, not
Ecuador. Copy is much tougher now at 0336 UTC with a signal on 6005 kHz

It is Spanish and it is religious "la palabra de dios", like La Voz de tu
Conciencia used to be. Also getting it on Colombia KiwiSDR. Does that source
really say it is in Ecuador? It`s Colombia if that is the reactivated
station. Stand by for any ID. Listening from 0308 past 0312, S9 to S9+10.

Currently listening to a good signal on 6010 kHz. Shortwave.info shows two
broadcasts are on at this time (0251 UTC). One from Ecuador (Voz de tu
Conciencia) and one from Mexico City (Nucleo Radio Mil). Currently hearing
latin music with a male announcer. Not sure which station I am hearing as
the transmitter from Mexico City is shown to be 1 KW while the transmitter
from Ecuador is shown to be 5 KW, both ND. I will be surprised if this is
from Mexico as I thought only XEPPM (6185 kHz) was the only Mexico shortwave
station. Anyone have any ideas about this? Signal strength is very good, S-7
to S-9, steady with little fading.

KMMJ-AM 750 Grand Island, NE is licensed as “Limited Hours” and I was
curious what exactly this meant. I inquired, a search of FCC
History/Archived Records was made and yielded this answer:

Way back on September 19, 1968, KMMJ was issued a telegram for presunrise
authority to commence operation with its licensed facilities at the local
sunrise time of cochannel station WSB, Atlanta. The authority was
conditioned subject to the outcome of a rulemaking proceeding (Dockets
17562, 18023, and 18036) relating to the “status of Class II stations [here
KMMJ] assigned to US I-A clear channels.”

Ultimately, the Commission settled on a 500 watt limitation on presunrise
operation nationwide. That was less than KMMJ’s regular operating power
(10.5 kW directional away from WSB). It appears too that WSB opposed
letting KMMJ keep the higher power presunrise authority (see paragraphs 31
and 32 at https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/FCC-69-844A1.pdf , July
29, 1969).

The solution the staff came up with was to issue the license for KMMJ with
“limited time” of operation. In effect that replaced operation of the 500
watt presunrise limit applicable elsewhere in the country. See the
Memorandum of June 12, 1974:
https://apps2int.fcc.gov/admin/api/download/attachment/25076f9170b21d4a0170bfdedcc90169
..

The changes on the license were included on the next renewal of license
authorization (BR-676, dated May 20, 1977). The changes made KMMJ into a
“Limited Hours” station and specified the on-air times. As a practical
matter, however, KMMJ continued to operate unchanged. (This is the
origin of the comment in the AM Query: LIMITED TIME OPERATION: SEE BR-676,
MAY 20, 1977.) BR-676:
https://enterpriseefiling.fcc.gov/dataentry/api/download/attachment/25076f9170b21d4a0170c009b0480176

KMMJ is still licensed to operate in this manner.

It is likely that there is no other station in the country licensed in
this manner.

Mail from FRS Holland:
"As you may know 2020 is a special year for us at FRS.
In fact we has planned a BC late February/ early March, but I haven't 
been fit for a while.
That's the reason we have postponed this BC. I guess it will be within 
the next 4 or 5 weeks.
Interesting: the modulation of our big TXhas been improved. Opposite to 
our December BC, we can now use full power
and very loud audio. Since late January there have been (unannounced) 
tests on 5800, 5810, 7700, 7705 & 7715.
Mostly late in the afternoon. Last Thursday we tested on 7715 with 
excellent signals all over Europe (apart from the nearby
areas --> skip). Also in Spain, Greece, Lisbon, Scandinavia and even in 
the US/ Canada good reception.

Perhaps next Sunday a presented test...watch your mail!
Have a good Sunday and spread the word...
