** CHILE. CVC Calera de Tango site survived the quake, still on air with usual good signal here.
17680 at 1812 check with reports in Spanish about the quake, e.g. the airport is closed; no doubt from the Miami studios, as it would be unthinkable to originate anything from Chile itself.
Telemundo and Univisi?n are also covering it on US television (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Subject: [dxld] UPDATE – Bar-Kulan Radio – New targeted broadcast for SOMALIA

The station now tells me that their SW schedule from 1 March will be:
0500-0600 GMT on 15750 kHz (UAE);
1600-1700 GMT 9960/9930 kHz (Meyerton).
This conflicts with the widely posted details that the transmissions will be from Ascension, and with 17700 given as the frequency for the one at 1600-1700.

More details continue to emerge on this new station: it seems that the name will be Bar-Kulan Radio, rather than Radio Bar-Kulan as I first reported (below).
A website – under construction – has appeared at:
http://www.bar-kulan.com/.
And the ADXC has posted the following schedule at http://adxc.wordpress.com/:

“Radio Bar-Kulan/Meeting Place, from March 1, 2010?
“0500-0600 on unid. ASC 250 kW / 065 deg to CEAf Somali, 25/22/19 mb?
“1600-1700 on 17700 ASC 250 kW / 065 deg to CEAf Somali, A-10 on same”
So, they have a registration from 1st March via Ascension.

Here are some more details about this, which I gleaned on a visit to the new station’s HQ in Nairobi last week:
NAME: Radio Bar-Kulan (= Meeting Place).
FUNDING AND PURPOSE: UN-aided, to operate in support of UN and African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) information operations in Somalia.
OPERATIONS: Independent; run by the same management that set up Radio Okapi for the DR Congo.
LAUNCH DATE: March 2010.
INITIAL SCHEDULE: 0500-0600 and 1600-1700 GMT daily. Hopes to expand broadcasting hours later. To broadcast on SW, satellite, internet streaming and via FM relays in Somalia.
STUDIOS: In Nairobi.
SW TRANSMISSIONS: Being arranged by VT (note: not necessarily from VT sites). Exact frequencies not yet announced.

A request for those who watch upcoming HF registrations to keep an eye out for any new bookings of transmissions for Somalia (or the registration may be for the whole Horn of Africa region – CIRAF zone 48). A new station targeting that country is due to go on the air soon, perhaps as early as next month. It will definitely use shortwave. I may have more details next week.

Received a detailed reply from David Smith, Director, Radio Bar-Kulanin less than 2 days for a reception report sent on 1st March, 2010 just after the inaugral txn was over at the usual email id
barkulanradio @ gmail dot com mentioned on their website. Earlier, also received an instant auto reply from Sunni Said Salah, Senior Somali Sports Journalist & Sports Chief Editor.
Here’s the reply received from David Smith, Director, Radio Bar-Kulan :
Quote ….
Thank you for your reception report. You heard us on our very first day of broadcast. Your details are correct.
This is a brand new radio station so we do not yet have QSL cards. We will get some in the future. We do not even have a letterhead yet!
One of our technicians is from India and I am copying him on this reply – I’m sure he will be pleased!
Soon we will also be streaming from our internet site so check bar-kulan.com for details.

Best and mahadsanid,
David Smith
Director
