4835.47 I also hrd R. Maranon on Jan 3rd while looking for AIR Gangtok at
0150 start of recording to 0240 end recording, consisting of mostly local
music (vocals w/ inst accomp.) with a few short anmts by man and/or woman
(sometimes it seemed like an echo in the anmts), ocnly an ID and some
(happily) short coml's. Strangely at 0157 to 0159.5 the Peruvian natl
anthem was played - thought they were signing off early, but programming
continued past 0240 w/ slightly improving sigs. SINPO 25332. Try this
evening time slot - better for sleep, hi! With the increasing trend of
ownership appearing to be religious organizations w/ LA tropical
broadcasters, the programs are getting easier to log (less anmts and
com'ls it seems). R. Maranon has an interesting web page at
(in Spanish). The station manager is a Jesuit
priest.

POLAND [+non] Polish Radio changes.
1 - The name change from "Radio Polonia" to "External Service of Polish
Radio" was made in order to avoid the misunderstanding that the
transmissions for abroad are conducted by a separate station (something
which also DXers often misunderstand). They are however, like home service
programs, produced by the national public broadcaster Polskie Radio
(="Polish Radio").
2 - The Esperanto service of PR's External Service was due to end on 31
December and the time slots were due to be used for additional
transmissions in Ukrainian. The frequencies and beams were newly
coordinated and adjusted accordingly, in order to reach the new target
Ukraine: 1600-1630 on 6035 (ex6050) & 7170 (ex7285), 1900-1930 on 5935
(ex7290), all from Wertachtal (Germany) with 100 kW. However, in the last
minute it was decided that the Esperanto programs will continue, at least
for the time being. Due to these circumstances, the Esperanto
transmissions are currently transmitted with parameters that were prepared
to target Ukraine.
3 - Frequency change for PR's Polish transmission to
Baltics/Belarus/Ukraine at 1630-1730 (Juelich, 100 kW) from 15 January:
6140 (ex6050).

PORTUGAL 783 R. Nacional, Avanca 100 kW (tent), 1517-..., 31 Dec 06,
silent carrier probably for testing prior to a much delayed start
(scheduled for Summer 2006!), S9+5 dB via the 145 degr. CeAfr Beverage,
QRM de POR Canidelo 10 kW (but the tx is in a mess). Now, I can't reall
actually state this was Avanca, but at that time, that strong, that
bearing, it should be Avanca testing again.

5960 and 7330, R. Tikhiy Okean, at 0954-1000* UT on Jan 9, resumed their
own programming again. Walter Salmaniw notes that Jan 7 was Orthodox
Christmas, so they probably had the day off, hence the R. Rossii
programming on Jan 8.
