Blog Logs - Indonesia


Checks have been made regularly on RRI/VOINS 11785, 9680 and 9525 but I've failed - so far - to ID RRI on any of them between 0630 and 1500 UT. BBC via SNG has also been heard on several occaions on 11955 (mixing with TUR) and 11690 (splash from RFI 11700) around 0700 - as well as the usual 11920 that relays NHK.
But KNX-HCJB 11750 is very weak and buried by TUR co-ch - but not so long ago it was usually atop TUR when opening at 0730. (Noel R. Green-UK, wwdxc BC-DX June 19)
RRI was noted also at 0615 UT on 11860 kHz with a good signal (S6) and many ID. Thanks for the tips. 11860 Jun 19 0615-0630 INS: RRI Jakarta, Cimanggis. ID "Radio Republik Indonesia" news in local language and few ID - good signal no QRM SIO: 244.(Vincent Lecleir-F, hcdx June 19/20)
Noted RRI at same time slot today. RRI 11860 kHz S=3 signal at 0800 UT, but later fade down to S=1-2 around 1030 UT. Slight QRM by Tinian-MRA 1200-1300 and BBC SEY 1400-1500 UT.
9525 ASC in WeAF accented English language 0700-0800 UT, plus UNID station underneath, seemingly VoINS Jakarta towards 30 degr in Far East Asia, JPN/KOR, at 0715 UT. But latter seemingly via SoPAC, Colombia, Bonaire, Azores long path towards Europe. (wb, June 19)
