I heard them pretty well yesterday (April 29, 2011) at *0150 UTC* on
12,759 USB - first time ever on any frequency. Surprised - since this
does not match their scheduled transmission. Even got a recording.
Listening again now (23:20 onward) on the 29th to see if this
reception repeats at some point.

.
04:30 UTC& 1229 UTC& 0150 UTChttp://www.time.gov/timezone.cgi?UTC/s/0/java
is quite a time spread for 12,759 kHz to be
bouncing half-way around the world.

Unless I am greatly mistaken, I am hearing Diego Garcia BIOT on 12759
kHz at 0144 UTC on April 30, 2011. Similar conditions to yesterday.
Impossible to catch specific concepts, but it surely sounds like an OM
ranting on in EE.

Bruce J., California

BpnJ - Nothing 'detectable' here at 0155~0205 UTC; and
for +/- 5 kHz of 12,759 kHz; except the faint sound of
"Metal Turning on a Lathe" {sounds like} on 12,755 kHz.

i will check back on-frequency in an hour ~ RHF
.
UTC : 1300-1500; that's PDT : 6~8 AM has AFN-DG
operating on both 4319 and 12.759 kHz in USB.

has been for a few days at least - so my reception of them during the

BpnJ,

Listened just about every hour at the top of the hour
for -5 to +5 and have heard only 'Audio Artifacts' and
"Mumbles' since yesterday.

"Good Clear Audio"* : Recognizable Words and whole
Sentences {Content}; Language; Speaker's Sex:M/F;
Voice-v-Music

* Good Enough for Radio Program Listening

"Identifiable Audio" : Recognizable Words and Language

"Mumbles" : Language like sounds and Word Fragments

'Audio Artifacts' : Sounds like there might be Audio
on-frequency; and when you Tune +5k & -5k there
are 'no' like sounds; just the background band noise
at the time.

Is that 7811 also DG?

I rarely get "decent" signals here. I have to fight and struggle
every inch of the way for DX.
