Report for the Wai FM for March 2025

This station never has a stable s/on and s/off program. Supposedly a manual technician work   Last year I have checked for more than 2 weeks the switching behavior and still they continue with the same manner.
Waterfalls have been also used for measuring the correct time
 
QRG: 11665 kHz programmed transmission times: 22-16z   , random kSDRs as they permit based on user load. 

Default kSDR is Negros Occ PHL which provides best reception. Any other kSDR is noted below

Tue 4/3 started 21,57:40 -60dbm via Jakarta (?)

Thu 6/3 already in the  band 2145 possibly due to Ramadan ,based on info Ramadan in Sarawak seems  to start March 1 2025 with  2/3 for most places in Malaysia

Fri 7/3 already in the band on 2142 via Jakarta -57dbm dangdut a and old pop songs

Sat 8/3 signed off 140153 / Already in the band on 2125 need to check for earlier!

Su 9/3 signed off 13.35.48 /Started 2130 with marginal signal in all the region Somehow better after 2200z with  20kHz signature

Mon 10/3 started on 2154,20z -with -85dbm in  Jakarta and same level in the region . 01z with -70dbm in PHL it possibly seem they transmit with lower power.

Wed 12/3  signed off 140022  unable to look for the night time

Thu 13/3  s/off 140401 / Barely invisible carrier line on 2202+ slight raise to around 15db SNR on 2215 Fast signal increase 2218 with 50+ SNR .. Avail only  in PHL before 2015 Remain kSDs in  INS shown only noise!. look in the bottom in the bottom in the page to see  a similar fading pattern!

Fri 14/3  s/off 140100

Fri 28/3 s/off 140059   s/on 200019 starting with a -90dbm carrier with signal slowly increasing  I keep a signal trace here:  (I can presume that the  transmitter was not properly heated before)

Sat 29/3 UTC   I feel quite sad that the station could not start quite early  for the Ramadan day  carrier *220242  mod 4 secs after apart  and s signal of –55dbm with peaks to -4 max  with the typical pastor program.  

Sun 30/3 with the new sched seen 1359  with CRI Urdu  singing on   while on 135940 Wai was s off.   Also CGTN on *1400 usually the previous season  both freqs were  clear that time… Due to the quite late time of  listening for the night I m stopping this experiment!
