Logs edited for clarity
Australia
2485, VL8-K (Katherine) Australian ABC-NT Service. Channel wiped out by strong digital signal from unid utility station, making it impossible to determine if Australia is coming thru this morning or not. Utility signal not heard for two days. Noted yesterday station was not audible. Only traces of carrier on 2310 and 2325 then and today. (Rick Barton, AZ)
Bangladesh4750, Bangladesh Betar, 1403. Have not heard this one in awhile. Distinctive bagpipes to subcontinent music and 1405 news in what sound like Bengali. Holding its own against RRI and CNR1 (China) interference (Ton Howard, CA/Cumbre DX)
Bolivia
4795.937, Radio Lipez, 0955-1005. Female announcer in Spanish with comments only periodically as the signal was very weak. They seemed to be having problems this morning (Chuck Bolland, FL)
5952.376, Emisoras Pio XII, 1025-1035. With a fair signal in the clear, noted two males
presenting the world news in Spanish language. Heard a number of place names included. Signal was fair. (Chuck Bolland, FL)
6134.795, Radio Santa Cruz, 1016-1030. Female announcer giving a lesson of some kind
as she recites instructions or letters. She is joined by a male who also recites instructions. Signal is good compared to what it was 45 minutes ago which was poor. (Chuck Bolland, FL).
Brazil
11765.067, Super Radio de Deus e Amor, 2345-0007. Noted religious preaching and comments in Portuguese. On the 0001 hour noted a canned ID with frequencies which I didn't understand due to poor language skills. Signal was fair however. This was a tip from Albert Muick who says this station is testing but is already listed on this freq in the WRTH. Heard a weaker signal on parallel frequency of 9565 kHz. (Chuck Bolland, FL)
Canada
6030, Calgary - CFVP relaying CKMX (AM 1060). A clear Monday (UT)with no Radio Martà and no Cuban jamming, 0308 “The Lone Ranger Rides Again, Hi-Ho, Silver! Away!” radio drama.
Complete with Rossini’s William Tell Overture (as a kid, my first experience with classical music!). B interference from Radio Oromiya (Ethiopia) with their interval signal on at 0326, at 0337 start of “Gunsmoke” cowboy drama. ID at 0441 “Southern Alberta’s hometown radio station Classic Country AM ten sixty.” “Somebody’s Knockin” Terri Gibbs, “Sundown” Gordon Lightfoot. Decent signal coming through the local noise with 100 watts. MP3 audio of ID and song www.box.net/shared/dx0gllv3soifctn3g0jv (Ron Howard, CA/Cumbre DX)
9650, Korean BS relay, 1200. Co-Channel North Korean interval signal playing over announcer with sign-on of KBS via Sackville, to news read by Angie Park. South Korea wins today's "battle of the bands", as Park's voice cuts thru the interference very well . (Rick Barton, AZ)
China

6035, PBS Yunnan/Voice of Shangri-La, 1253. In Vietnamese. Good to hear they still have the distinctive “This is the Voice of Shangri-La, brought to you by Yunnan Radio.” Then into Chinese programming. Better than heard during the summer, but still adjacent interference. This year not even a hint of BBS/Bhutan. MP3 audio at www.box.net/shared/17atqrjtqsxhx04rqisu . Tough to copy through adjacent interference, but English ID is there. (Ron Howard, CA/Cumbre DX)
Guatemala
4055, Radio Verdad, 0350. Light piano religious music (even heard Amazing Grace) into ID on the hour and more music. Annoying het started at 0403 and made the listening unbearable. Just a carrier, no modulation, so causing difficulties. (Al Muick, PA)
India
4775, All India Radio, Imphal, 1350. One of their best receptions. Interview to subcontinent music. Series of ads.ews at 1400 in Hindi. CODAR interference.

Pop vocal to British accented announcer with local news that appears to have been mostly just read from the Muscat Daily (he pronounced it like the gun - Musket!) Newspaper, including mention of the Oman Chamber of Commerce and local social events. Each item was followed by a snippet of Dave Brubeck ‘Take 5’ and concluded with mention of ‘hot and sunny’ weather in Muscat. US pop music program, no actual station ID, but format fits. SINPO began as 2+4+43+3+ but fading. (Zichi; MI/ (MARE 644)
Peru
6173.962, Radio Tawantinsuyo, 1020-1030. Very poor signal with a male's Spanish comments. Signal is covered by a couple of strong stations that are making it impossible to hear any real details, but Tawantinsuyo is definitely in there.(Chuck Bolland, FL).
Taiwan
