Robert Wilkner: Mosquito Coast DX News - March 26 2016. Tropical rain and thunderstorm returned to southeastern Florida this fortnight. Conditions on the Tropical Band have been very poor Distant thunderstorm heard over most signal below five Megs. Trusting for some improvement in April. All typos and mistakes are mine alone! Note: 6105.3 Bolivia, Radio Panamericana, La Paz seems active occasionally when relaying Bolivian sports events. in the local evenings 2300+ Log (UTC) 2360 Mar22 0948 Radio Educadora de Limeira , ON em Ondas Tropicais de 2380 kHz OM CX Geral sobre a jornada de trabalho dos fucionarios publicos de Limeira / SP https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=erVgreRycVM&feature=youtu.be (Daniel Wyllyans Nova Xavantina MT Brazil VIA HCDX) 2485 Mar24 0945 VL8K Katherine NT strong carrier with weak occasional om chat audio.

Surprisingly good in GM //4775 w/ inspirational chat/contemporary Christian songs. (Dan Sheedy) 3210 Mar17 1140 Out here on the coast, was only able to hear an open carrier on 3210, randomly checking from about 1140 to 1340, but never at the level to make out any audio. Imagine it will take an exceptional day of very good propagation for any reception at my QTH. Was checking due to Hiroyuki Komatsubara's alert that he heard "Unique Radio" on March 15, via remote receiver in Australia at 1000. (Ron Howard, Asilomar State Beach, CA, USA) 3210 Mar24 1310 Most likely the next Unique R broadcast on 3210 kHz will be heard next Fri & Sat night. With Easter holidays imminent it might also be worth looking be fore & after those days. (Ian Baxter, AUS via DXLD) -------------------- Thanks Ian for the update! Fluttery open carrier on 3210, assume to be the low powered Australian station on March 24; at 1310 with open carrier through subsequent checking till 1412; about 1357 seemed faint traces of some audio, but unusable for any details. My local sunrise was at 1404 UT. A day of good conditions. Most likely the next Unique R broadcast on 3210kHz will be heard next Fri & Sat night. With Easter holidays imminent it might also be worth looking be fore & after those days. (Ron Howard, California)) 3210 Mar25 1015 trace of a JBA carrier. Maybe it`s the new low-power NSW Australian, Unique Radio, explained by operator Tim Gaynor in DXLD 16-12 and via WORLD OF RADIO 1818: ``Hi Glenn, A quick note to say I have activated a small low powered shortwave facility from my QTH at Halls Creek, 50 km North East of Tamworth, NSW, Australia. It's a licensed HF domestic station with a 1 kW day ERP and night time 100 watts into the antenna. The antenna is a 35.5 metre vertical inverted wire with a 9:1 Unun and a ham antenna tuner on 3210 kHz. I have had it on air quite a few weeknights from around 0800 till around 1300 UT although sometimes may go longer. Some weekends again from 0800 till around 1400 UT. I would also like to air your superb show at random night times, if that's OK? I've been airing a lot of my old net shows and also a mix of oldies. But would like to have more DX style shows and maybe have them in program- ming blocks, especially weekend nights. So far I have received a few reception reports from The Gold Coast, Queensland, and also Brisbane, Queensland. Anyone hearing 'Unique radio 2SG' OR MAXIHITZ could let me know on email [email protected] --- I will QSL for correct audio files and/or reports. Many thanks, Glenn, and love your show. Best regards (Tim Gaynor, March 17, WORLD OF RADIO 1818, DX LISTE- NING DIGEST) I told him fine, please do (Glenn Hauser, DXLD) 3260 Mar17 -1205* NBC Madang. "NBC News in Brief"; promo for "NBC TV"; suddenly off; almost fair (Ron Howard, Asilomar State Beach, CA, USA) page 2 3276,9 Mar24 1143 V28 ("The Parrot") was indeed active today on 3277.0. First noted at 1143 with Korean numbers. Later (1209-1221) heard again. Different format than normal. Today gave seri- es of numbers and then a short break till the next series, but sometimes the gap between them lasted up to three minutes. Unusual. Could not help but notice V28, as I was check- ing 3275 for PNG-NBC, which remains silent. Noted N BC Madang (3260) suddenly signed off at 1208* with above average reception, after the "NBC News in Brief" (news & sports info). NBC Bougainville (3325) suddenly signed off today at 1152*, leaving RRI in the clear; at 1148 talking about a"NBC Bougainville program . ".

Leave it to Ron Howard in California to unravel this on same date: ``NBC Bougainville (3325) suddenly signed off today at 1152*, leaving RRI in the clear; at 1148 talking about a "NBC Bougainville program . ".`` It seems these two are virtually zero-beat on 3325.0 so can`t differentiate them by frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK) 3365.1 Mar19 2229 R.Cultura, Araraquara SP, canções; mas em alguma ascensão.
