Subject: [HCDX] Sun Morn

Guyana, 3290.00, Voice of Guyana, 0930-0945, Noted a program of musical standards with English comments between tunes by a male. At the moment (0937) the signal is at a fair level with low noise. (Chuck Bolland, April 10, 2011)

Subject: [HCDX] 8-10 April Loggings

MONGOLIA 12085 V.O. Mongolia 0959 usual IS twice and M w/ID, then fanfare and into CH pgm. 1029 IS and M w/ID again, into EG pgm. 1048 EG ID and cultural/geographic pgm abt some specific region of Mongolia. Was getting up to decent level at 1000, but faded by 1030, then started coming back up. Wiped out by 12080 DRM at 1057. Still not enough for a nice recording or report. (8 April)

OMAN 17790 BBC relay 1200 synth. mx, 5+1 time ticks, fanfare and ID by M “BBC World Service, this is the ??”. 1229 M w/e-mail addr. Weak and gradually got worse by 1400. Clear though. This is probably the first time since the 70’s that I intentionally tuned for this relay site!! (9 April)

CLANDESTINE 9965.47 R. Republica 1027 rapid tlk in SP by M anncr. Ment of Cuba. 1040 just caught ID and sked at recheck. Sometimes the jammer just obliterated it, sometimes this was easy copy. (9 April)

MONGOLIA 12085 V.O. Mongolia while waiting for the EG pgm, noticed it went off the air for about 20 seconds at 1028. Wonder if they change antennas. The signal doesn’t seem as strong as for the CH pgm from 1000-1030. (9 April)

PALAU 9930 T8WH World Harvest R. IDs and usual canned sked and call ID at 1059, then off. Good signal. (9 April)

VIETNAM 12019.36 V.O. Vietnam 1130 really nice signal w/IDs at the start of the EG pgm, then into nx. (9 April)

BRAZIL 15190.13v R. Inconfidencia ”The Boxer” by Simon & Garfunkle at 0024. Nice “Inconfidencia” ID at 0028, then canned anmnts, 0032 ID/promo by M, and back to mx. Variable freq. QRM from 15190. Nice to hear this again. (10 April)

OMAN 9410 BBC relay On the air in the middle of the pgm w/promo, 5+1 time ticks, and immediately into next pgm w/out ID. Fair and clear but very noisy. (10 April)

UNID. 9855 UNID. Distorted signal at 1108 t/in w/what sounded like an IS, tlk by W in possibly Asian lang over mx, 3+1 time ticks. 1116 W in EG w/ment of “You’re listening to.”. Couldn’t really copy anything after that. 1122 soft ballad by W. CRI came on at 1200. Weak. Certainly seems to be an Asian. (10 April)

** ALBANIA [and non]. 13640, R. Tirana English to NAm and Europe, April 9 at 1845-1857:40*, typically ending at least two minutes before the hour/half hour, still has co-channel QRM from All India Radio, also causing a rippling SAH. Altho R. Tirana is slightly stronger here, an unacceptable collision. If AIR continues to be unresponsive about this usurpation, R. Tirana will have to move to another 13 MHz frequency for this and the 2000 broadcast (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. Firedrake April 10:
8400, fair at 1236
10300, fair with flutter at 1247; this and all off at 1313, but this and many others back on at 1321 check
10965, fair at 1248 and also on not // 10970! Odd one out except // 13130; 10965 off at 1313, back at 1321 and 1352, off with all at 1400*
10970, fair at 1248 and also on not // 10965! Unusual to have two adjacent. 10970 is // 11500 et al.; off at 1313, back at 1321
11500, fair at 1246; off at 1313, back at 1321
12600, fair with very heavy flutter at 1250, // 10300; off at 1313, back at 1321
13130, fair at 1250, // 10965, not 10300
13850, good at 1251 // 10970, 10300
13980, good at 1252 // 13850; no others on 14 or 15 MHz now; also at 1321 when lower ones have returned but no others on 13 MHz; and 1352
14700, very poor at 1325
15900, good at 1352, not heard earlier; none higher
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 6150, April 10 at 0514 RHC just squealing atop trace of program modulation, while English was on 6010, 6050, 6060 (not 11760 this night); Spanish still running late on 6120, 12040.

13780, April 10 at 1335, RHC `En Contacto`: Among other things, Manolo replied to Christer Brunstr?m, Sweden, that he would send a list of Cuban FM stations with powers for the WRTH, info CB had a hard time obtaining. During this segment, // 11830 was buried way under WYFR; 13680 was still on, along with much weaker 11730, 12040?-under China radio war, 15120, 15230, 15360.

This Sunday, never heard a carrier on 13750 in several chex after 1400; that and the four other `Al?, Presidente` frequencies were still vacant at 1533. El Hugazo`s website http://www.alopresidente.gob.ve/ says there will be no show “this week“, but the announcement looks just like the one last week, “ceding his space to a special transmission on a South American tour“ — by him? Yes, a further link dates that info as of April 3, and it was about a previous trip of his. So maybe there is still hope for a later appearance this Sunday if the page gets updated (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GREECE [and non]. Metropolitan Opera live broadcast on SW! Saturday April 9 at 1850 as I tune across fair 15630, V. of Greece, am surprised to hear two YLs in English discussing Handel and Rossini, one of whom is Ren?e Fleming. Sounds like a Met intermission feature, and then Greek voice-over translation. This is happening only because of the strike in Greece, as VOG plugs into an ERA domestic network authorized to carry this, but back at Lincoln Center they are very protective of Met broadcast rights, and would likely nix it getting out for one and all to hear on SW. Fortunately the voice-over translator person is not on strike, whew.

Per http://www.operainfo.org/ this week it is `Le Comte Ory`, an obscure opera by Rossini, and indeed for the single intermission just ending, “Ren?e Fleming interviews Diana Damrau and Joyce DiDonato“. As music resumes (without voice-overs!), I also check our local MORN affiliate, KCSC 90.1 OKC and match it up to 15630, except KCSC is running 8 seconds behind VOG, maybe its own self-imposed delay to match analog with tardy IBOC.

In case there are more strikes subsequent Saturdays, this year`s Met season runs thru May 14, all starting at 1700 UT except the last, “Die Walk?re“ an hour earlier in order to get the patrons out before dark. Ha, the penultimate, May 7 has a Greek angle, Strauss` “Ariadne auf Naxos“, altho set in Wien.

BTW, if you miss a live Saturday Met broadcast, you may catch it 8 days later on Radio Cultura FM, S?o Paulo webcast, Sundays at 1800 UT, via http://www2.tvcultura.com.br/radiofm/programacaofm.asp
I wonder if they have to wait for a CD in the mail?
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KUWAIT. 15540, April 9 at 1756, tuning in early for R. Kuwait, I hear something non-English, 1758 announcement starting with “Yeh —“, mentioning “mediumwave“ “and meter band“, so it`s Urdu — some other station just before RK in English? No, Urdu is indeed scheduled on their domestic service until 1800, but not on SW, so the transmitter was turned on early.

1759 military band plays NA, 1800 accurate 5+1 timesignal, anthem plays again! And sign-on in English still claiming to be on 11990; by 1802 into “Umbrella of Islam“ religious propaganda. 15540 held up well at least until 1850 today (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ROMANIA. 11805-11810-11815, DRM noise, April 10 at 0507, louder than that from NZ covering 11670-11675-11680 — it`s RRI scheduled in French to Europe, 300 kW, 285 degrees from Galbeni, fortunately only during this single semihour. Says HFCC; does RRI really run full power when in DRM or just fail to register reduxions? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SAIPAN. 11800, April 10 at 1243, Vietnamese music and talk, good signal tho 100 kW, 278 degrees from KFBS at 12-13 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SPAIN [non]. 11880, REE via COSTA RICA, April 10 at 1237, Antonio Buitrago with `Amigos de la Onda Corta`, reconfirmed at new summer timing of 1230 Sundays; he also uses little giveaway electronic jingles during the show, which I was not hearing around 0645 Saturday when its only other airing is allegedly scheduled. 13m closed again this morning, so no // 21610 or 21540 audible, nor later by 1404 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SUDAN [and non]. 13730, April 10 at 0510 whine & grind with fading; can only assume it is jamming against R. Dabanga, 500 kW, 255 degrees via UAE at 0430-0527, a site hard to hear here even if unjammed (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TURKEY [and non]. V of Turkey, UT Sunday April 10 at 0313-0332, `DX Corner`, listened on webcast. Started with radio news items, none of which mentioned SW frequencies ? R. Nepal at 61, new Sudan opposition station by youth, VOA via Maputo FM, Bangladesh gets Thomson SW transmitter, Egypt broadcasting officials sacked, H20/shower radio — look familiar? We`ve seen them all somewhere in the last two weeks; it seems that at least four of them appeared on the Media Network blog. Is that one of never-credited sources? After annoying pop music break, read a bunch of reception reports starting with Dario Gabrielli in Italy. The last one asked that scripts of the radio news be posted on website in case one missed the program. Can`t do that, she said, too understaffed, but will add `DX Corner` to seven available podcasts.

She also invited suggestions on how to improve the program, adding or subtracting features. How about some real and attributed DX news to justify calling it `DX Corner`?? And can the reading of reception reports, of no interest to other listeners. Also publish or even spell her name instead of mumbling it, so I don`t have to refer just to “she/her“ as host/ess.

BTW, elsewhen on VOT I still hear the familiar voice of Sheref Isler, who supposedly left the station last year, or was it 2009, and requested us to remove all previous references to his name in DXLD. Is he back, or are we only hearing old continuity announcements and program reruns?

Finally found the podcast page:
http://www.trt-world.com/trtworld/Galeri/Podcast.aspx?dil=en
and it looks like there are 18 of them, with DX Corner now at the top of the list. In fact, all eight fortnightly editions so far this year are available. But I`d rather pick up some of the feature shows.

At 0343 I check the SW frequency 9515 and find it with a quite good signal during the music fill portion of the broadcast. // 6165 eastward of course is totally blocked here by RNW Bonaire. Are TRT quite confident none of that signal will mar reception in its own target area? IIRC, 9515 is the frequency R. Ankara was using when I first heard it in the late 1950s or early 1960s; quite nostalgic.

BTW, during this very same hour on UT Sundays, and lasting until 0700 UT, is an excellent world music show on KALW San Francisco, `Tangents`, webcasting via http://www.kalw.org/listen.html
Its host Dore Stein is partial to Turkey, having led several musical tours there, but taking a break this year, instead bringing Turkish musicians to the Bay Area. More at http://www.tangents.com/

** ANTARCTICA. 15476, no carrier from LRA36, Monday April 11 at 1308, 1418, 1456 checks. Still waiting for them to resume regular operation after the surprise re-appearance (test?) April 6 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** AUSTRALIA. THE DUMBING-DOWN OF RADIO AUSTRALIA: one of the few bright spots on the SW dial in our mornings (in English with a strong signal) has been RA, with a variety of intellexually-stimulating or at least meaningful ABC feature programs on weekdays between 13 and 15 UT. Monday April 11 I tune in 9580 at 1345 expecting to hear “Innovations“, but instead:

YL DJ is jabbering about the local times in various Pacificasian cities where RA has FM relays, such as Port Moresby 101.9; then pop music outroed at 1350 as by Melbourne band Electric Empire; temps in cities as far as Tokyo. Mentions she is hosting this new program in the wee hours, asks for SMS messages. 1359 says something about RA being made over into a “brighter radio“!

Still news at 1400, anyway, after 9580 has closed but still on 9590; at 1405 instead of `Big Ideas`, right back to this “overnight show“ with frequencies 107 in Honiara, 103 in Port Vila, 102.1 in Lae, wants text messages to +61 427 72 72 72. Would someone please tell her to go away and put `Big Ideas` back on shortwave, at least??? She is “all about connecting with you, the listener“. 1408 starts to play wrong track, “the beauty of live radio, the unexpected“.

Strike RA as anything worth listening to. I hope they still haven`t canned “Late Night Live“, superb discussion show in the 12-13 hour, which I last heard on Thursday. OMG, “Late Night Live“ is no longer among the L`s in program list
http://www.radioaustralia.net.au/programguide/
Just Live Talk-this, and Live Talk-that. I expect we can still find LNL on ABC domestic webcasts.

Indeed, the program sked at
http://www.radioaustralia.net.au/programguide/universal.htm
now shows “Live Talk“ English for Asia, M-F at 1230-1530 and also at 05-08 and 09-12, plus some other times. A few of the old ABC feature shows still appear between 16 and 18, deep in the night.

The official term for this revolting development is not “dumbing-down“ but “Renovating“:
http://www.radioaustralia.net.au/renovate/

“Over the coming weeks and months you’ll begin to notice changes to Radio Australia. We’re renovating to be more relevant and immediate in our coverage of breaking news, major stories, activities and events as they occur around Asia, the Pacific and Australia. Through this renovation we’ll provide new improved opportunities for sharing, participating and collaborating, as well as a new look, style and feel.

Preview the new Radio Australia. You can now preview our new program schedule featuring nine live audio streams, which will be live from 11 April across Asia and the Pacific.

** CHINA [and non]. Firedrake April 11:
8400, absent at 1255. Starting here, did not have time for a thoro bandscan before 1300, but:
10300, good with flutter at 1255
10965, fair at 1256 // 10300, no 10970 today; very poor at 1328
11500, poor at 1329 // 13920
13130, VG at 1259
13920, VG at 1259; good at 1326
13980, fair at 1326, weaker than // 13920
14700, good at 1416, not earlier
15670, fair mixing with some talk at 1303, i.e. RFA Tibetan via Tajikistan

11760, RHC normally very strong here, has heavy CCI from music at 1329 April 11; talk in English after 1330 turns out to be // CRI 9650, but two seconds behind Sackville. Aoki shows Kunming site at 12-14. At 1356, RHC is atop 11760, but CRI under // 9760. Commies vs Commies! See also EAST TURKISTAN (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 13780, April 11 at 1432, RHC audio is suppressed and distorted, while still loud and clear on // 13680. Wiggle that patchcord! See also CHINA: collision on 11760 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** EAST TURKISTAN. 13670, April 11 at 1325, “Chinese opera“, flutter, not // CNR1. Aoki shows it`s CRI Chinese service this hour only via Urumqi.

NOT “Urumqui“ as I keep seeing it misspelt: the Q in Chinese transliteration has no need of a U and doesn`t even sound like our Q. Or, to be more politically correct, we should spell it Urumchi, less confusing and closer to the Uyghur? Even better: some old maps, Rand McNally Atlas 1971, show it as Wulumuchi (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** EQUATORIAL GUINEA. 15190, April 11 at 1503, gospel huxter in Amerenglish, Brother somebody from Georgia, introducing the “Bible Way Temple Radio Choir“; presumed R. Africa on its sporadic “schedule“ (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** INDONESIA. 9526-, VOI gone again Monday April 11 during the 13 English hour, and 14 Indonesian hour; will it be back in time for Banjarmasin co-produxion 24 hours later? As always, the higher-priority RRI transmitter next to it on 9680 is still running, Indopop at 1358 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** IRAN [and non]. R. Tirana, ALBANIA, 13625, English to NAm at 1430 is normally without ACI from 13630, but April 11 at 1430 a stronger signal is on 13630 with music, soft announcements, language uncertain, 1431 into Qur`an. That`s typical behaviour of VIRI; gone at 1455 recheck.

Uplooked later, Iran is scheduled on 13630 but only at 1330-1427 in Japanese via Kamalabad, so another of their sloppy overruns. Languages supposed to start at 1430 on other frequencies are: Arabic, Bengali, Hindi, Pashto, Russian.

However, DX Mix News, Bulgaria April 11 in an updated A-11 VIRI schedule shows Japanese until 1427 is supposed to be on 13645 now; and nothing on 13630 any time (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** JAPAN [non]. 15735, April 22 at 1301 poor with news in English of Japan disasters, music stingers ? la NHK, and in fact it is R. Japan, via Tashkent, UZBEKISTAN. HFCC shows two 100 kW transmitters, both to CIRAF 41, i.e. Pakistan, India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, one at 141 degrees, the other at 163, getting them all covered (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KURDISTAN [non]. 11530, April 11 at 1413, great Kurdish music at S9+20 without too much flutter; still but weaker at 1456, and also heard before 1400, V. of Mesopotamia via UKRAINE currently scheduled 04-18, and from May 29 expanding to -20, while WYFR blox it only until 0900, so should be in the clear anytime after then. 7540, the other frequency seldom heard here, follows at 18-20 until off for the summer. Thus the PKK terrorists get far more SW time on Ukrainian transmitter than RUI any more (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** LIBYA. 17725, VOAf from the GJ, April 11 at 1404 poor with ID in English, drumming; better at 1532, YL about alleged free medical care in Libya. She refers merely to Libya instead of the “Socialist People`s Libyan Arab Jamahiriyah“, the cumbersome name apparently abolished some time ago; how I miss the SPLAJ (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NIGERIA [non]. 21480, Monday April 11 at 1357 open carrier, but nothing starts at 1400. Finally at 1402, Hamada Radio International modulation, no RMI ID in English, and my Hausa is not good enough to decide whether it was joined in progress, or merely late starting. Meanwhile, with BFO I notice that the carrier from Wertachtal is unsteady, compared to others on 13m, and has a curious wobble (slight regular pitch shift) 48 times per minute.

Jeff White says the schedule will keep changing due to the Nigerian elexions in progress. Besides 21480 M-F at 1400-1430, HRI is registered at 0530-0600 on 9545, 9610 and/or 11970; 1930-2000 on 11865, 11945, but not all of these may be in use at once via GERMANY, and M-F broadcasts might be expanded to Sat and Sun too. As of April 5-7, Kouji Hashimoto in Japan Premium reported that the 1930 broadcast was on 11945 ex-11865 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PORTUGAL. 21655, April 11 at 1320, RDP Internacional announcing this very frequency plus satellite info. After a couple days of deadness, 13m has revived with this plus the usual signals (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 9980, as I tune across WWCR, April 11 at 1410, Brother Scare reveals that “Jesus is the only one in heaven now“. I`m sure that will disappoint scads of survivors (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SPAIN [non]. 11880 via COSTA RICA, Monday April 11 at 1434 REE token news capsule in Portuguese, the extremely nasal Brazilian YL, but by now should be in French; were the two swapped at 1430, today or forevermore? 1435:08 into English with Coe; 1437:50 Arabic YL; 1440 outro in Castilian. So English got almost three minutes, Arabic only two. Just so the quadrilingual headlines add up to 10 minutes.

Another full REE A-11 schedule from Antonio Buitrago, DX program host, via Pedro Sedano, noticiasdx yg, still fails to mention this segment at all, merely part of Spanish service. What about “co-official“ languages?

Per that, Catalan, Gallego y Vasco are Mon-Sat 2330-2345 on 9535, 9620, 11680 and 15160. While Euskera (same language as Vasco, i.e. Basque) is Mon-Fri 1240-1255 on 11880, 11815, 15585, 21540, 21610. The trouble is, Euskera/Basque was divorced last season from the other two when it got its longer slot elsewhen, which we have recently heard starting closer to 1230 than 1240, but not always. That schedule also claims there are a full 3 hours of Euskera on 5970 at 1200-1500, surely a mistake. Further, it claims that Euskera via China to Philippines on 11910 is at 1330-1355, likely also a mistake rather than // all the others at 1240v. We still need to confirm the “2330-2345“ slot, surely still only Catalan and Galician, and in B-10 there was an unpublished repeat of that at 0505-0515; and still? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SUDAN [non]. 17745, April 11 at *1500, Sudan Radio Service still opening in colloquial Arabic but pronouncing station name in English, strumming, 1501 akbar. There was a false alarm last week that this transmission via Sines, PORTUGAL at 15-17 was being canceled (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [non]. 15580, April 11 at 0553, poor signal with golf score in English: must be VOA, at the moment SSOB, better than Australia. Altho no Nigeria, 15120, I figured VOA site would be Botswana, but HFCC shows Iranawila, SRI LANKA at 03-07, 250 kW, 263 degrees toward Africa from the other side; unusual opening.

17545, April 11 at 1421, good signal, better than usual, hard-driving beat, VOA Music Mix promo, and more until 1430 cut to “From Studio 23 in Washington, VOA`s International Edition“. Until then, Africans were prevented from hearing news about Asia, who cares? 17540 is 100 kW, 350 degrees from BOTSWANA during this hour only (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 13570, I noticed WINB was on air with strong signal around 1258 April 11, but gone again at 1322, so no QRM to CODAR. Has the WINB program schedule been updated since March 13 to show it`s nowhere near 24/7 any more? http://www.winb.com/schedule.htm Of course not! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 9320, very strong S9+22 open carrier, April 11 at 0559 past 0600, better than WBCQ, WYFR and WTJC just up the band. Occasional barely audible digital beeps, so maybe ute, Cuban spy station. No broadcasters scheduled here between 0030 and 1430 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

INDIA/ALBANIA/GERMANY
13640 kHz tonight April 12, 18.39 to 19.00 UT.
Radio Tirana Shijak TX started signing-on – carrier only – at 18.39:45 UT. Signal strength is S=9+30dB tonight from Albania.
At Netherlands remote Perseus rx unit Shijak carrier covers AIR Arabic sce totally, but AIR is heard underneath, with a slight heterodyne of 41 Hertz frequency difference.
Measured both signals on 13640 kHz channel tonight:
RT Shijak on approx. 13639.972 kHz
AIR Bangalore approx. 13640.013 kHz.

At 18.44:20 UT Radio Tirana interval signal started English program.
After RT program and close announcement at 18.57:05 UT, the tx at Shijak switched off suddenly at 18.57:14 UT.
btw. also Media & Broadcast Cologne changed their 13640 kHz usage of tonight, “Radio Dardasha 7″ program at Wertachtal on 13740 kHz at 1900-1930 UT, instead of 13640 kHz.
Wertachtal tx 13740.000 kHz 125 kW, carrier switched on at 18:59:40 UT like at crash start, signals strength in Europe and Iceland around S=9+10dB, despite signal is beamed southwards at 180 degr to the Muslim world.
Hopefully Radio Tirana will follow soon, to avoid brutal interference by AIR
India.

Community Radio helps rebuild New Brighton Christchurch [NZ] after February Earthquake
_____________________
Just over a month ago, the Wellington [NZ] based Radio Heritage Foundation had the idea of bringing a mobile radio station to support the eastern suburbs of Christchurch.
In less than ten days, a licence was granted and Southland broadcaster Chris Diack had moved a mobile radio studio into the main street of the seaside suburb of New Brighton and Radio New Brighton was on the air on 102.1 FM.
In the weeks since, Radio New Brighton has become an integral part of the eastern suburbs recovery and rebuilding process, with locals calling in to the studio to chat about lost pets, hot shower
facilities, stores reopening, public meetings, children’s events and much more.
School children from the Central New Brighton School where the mobile studio is parked perform live singing, poetry and jokes on the air and send dedications to their teachers. Locals with no previous radio experience find themselves on the air hosting their own shows in minutes.
Radio Heritage Foundation chairman David Ricquish says “this is just the kind of local community radio we had in mind when we saw the need emerging for more local news, information and reassurance in eastern Christchurch in the weeks immediately after the February 22 earthquake.”
“Our international board members have decades of experience with emergency radio broadcasting in Africa, Asia and the Pacific and were able to give us some good pointers on how to make this work such as getting local people involved as soon as possible” he adds.
He says the support of existing local low power FM radio stations in setting up the station was crucial to its early success, along with amateur radio operators and students from the NZ Broadcasting School whose facilities were in the cordoned off CBD. Telecom provided free broadband and other links very quickly, and the local school agreed to the mobile studio being on their premises within sixty seconds.
The Radio Heritage Foundation, holder of the radio licence for 102.1 FM, now wants to see a permanent community radio station, run by locals, established in New Brighton once the current emergency broadcasts end.
“The mobile caravan can’t stay there forever so locals now have a great opportunity to create their own community radio station to support the arts, culture, business and the great seaside lifestyle
of this community” says Mr Ricquish, whose family have lived in the area since 1950. “We’ll be delighted to help establish a strong community group we can partner to keep local radio in New Brighton” he adds.
The Radio Heritage Foundation is a registered non-profit organization connecting popular culture, nostalgia and radio heritage and its global website is www.radioheritage.net.
Another of its ‘Helping Rebuild Christchurch’ projects involves restoring the original 3ZB radio studio and transmitter building in New Brighton in time for its 75th anniversary in 2012.

Subject: [HCDX] Glenn Hauser logs April 11-12, 2011

** ANTARCTICA. 15476, April 12, guess what? Still no LRA36 carrier at 1255, 1407 chex (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake April 12: nothing on 8400 at 1252, and with very poor EAs propagation today, only cursory check upband found no others (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [and non]. 17560, RHC continues to collide with VOA at 1930-2030, both in French the first semihour, checked April 11 and 12. Who will blink first? VOA moves around frequently for less reason than this. Did Arnie pick the frequency knowingly, just to annoy the enemy, at the expense of RHC`s own clarity, that being the only frequency scheduled for French at 1930, Portuguese at 2000?
13780, April 12 at 1311, RHC missing from this frequency, but still on 13680; at 1409 both were on. At least one transmitter may be giving them problems, as at 2325 check for R. Nacional de Venezuela relay, 15250 was missing, but 13680 was on as usual, as well as weaker RHC itself on 15230, 15370 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GERMANY [non]. 15510, April 12 at 1406, DW in Russian, good signal as usual even when not much else making it from Europe, despite being 500 kW, 62 degrees from Rampisham, UK at 1400-1659 (then 1700-1757, 250 kW, 15 degrees via Kigali, RWANDA). At the moment it sounded like there was a collision with a slightly weaker station in another language until I realised that DW itself was doing a voice-over probably from original German. SW stations need to realize that audio clarity is more important than fancy voice-overs. Depending on the ultimate audio processing, the undercurrent may be boosted louder than the studio producer expects. One language at a time, please! Or fade out completely the original real quick. O, I forgot === SW is just an ancient afterthought to web and satellite (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. 9526-, VOI, April 12 at 1257, already inserting English ID into tail of Japanese hour, but quite poor signal on bad propagation day. At least it`s on the air, unlike yesterday. Late at 1301.5 started `Exotic Indonesia` co-produxion with Jakarta, but no point in trying to listen (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** IRAN. Finally got around to checking the new A-11 frequencies for the so-called “Voice of Justice“, VIRI`s English service to North America, 0130-0230 UT — In B-10 both channels were losers, 7250 colliding with V of Russia and 6120 with R Habana Cuba. April 12 at *0130, 11920 comes on a few sex before 9605; sign on correctly giving these frequencies, Qur`an 0133-0136, then Qur`an interpreted briefly in English. Some flutter, and 9605 slightly stronger but no ACI or CCI on either, working well for them.
Another check April 12 whether R. Tirana 13625 has QRM from Iran on 13630: depressed propagation meant nothing but a carrier could be detected on 13630 until 1427:38*, presumably VIRI Japanese service still here and not running over, while no carrier on 13645, alleged QSY (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** JAPAN [non]. Correcting date on this, not April 22, of course:
15735, April 11 at 1301 poor with news in English of Japan disasters, music stingers ? la NHK, and in fact it is R. Japan, via Tashkent, UZBEKISTAN. HFCC shows two 100 kW transmitters, both to CIRAF 41, i.e. Pakistan, India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, one at 141 degrees, the other at 163, getting them all covered (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SPAIN. 11795, REE Emisi?n Sefarad, UT Tue April 12 at 0132 has good signal as usual even tho to S America, but discussion has continuous pulsing noise underneath, rather like atop a Cuban jammer. But I think it is self-imposed poor audio produxion, faulty feed link or transmitter. No reason for Cuba to be jamming here, like 11775 vs Mart?. Meant to see if it was also inflicted upon the 0415 repeat on 9650, but missed it. Did anyone else notice, or on the Mon 1425 on 15385? I`ll bet not.

17595, the normally solid REE signal weekday mornings direct from Noblejas, April 12 at 1315 is fluttery, unusual for this lower-latitude path; recovered later in the hour, OK for token Arabic news at 1438 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

Subject: [HCDX] Logs from March 12-13

These logs are a bit dated, but I thought I would post them anyway. All are gleaned from my Perseus recordings during a DXpedition to Meeman-Shelby Forest State Park in western Tennessee on March 12-13, 2011. I have many more hours of recordings to peruse, and unless anyone objects, may post more logs as time permits. The electrically quiet conditions during the DXpedition make for more enjoyable DX on these month old recordings than the QRN I usually have to deal with at the
home QTH.
4699.97 BOLIVIA R San Miguel, Riberalta, Mar 12 *0840 – OC until 0900, s/on greetings, woman with echo. Latin vocals with occasional announcement strings. Mention of R San Miguel ID finally noted at 1000, ads, followed by religious talk by man, slowly fading after 1030. Noted Mar 13 with a 0349 s/off, and a Sunday morning late 1107 s/on.
4716.69 BOLIVIA R Yura, Aillu Yura, Mar 12 *1008 – OC until 1012, back to back rustic Andean vocals, locutora mentioning “Radio Yura, Aillu Yura” between vocals at 1022 and 1024. Brief announcement by man at 1032, then back to rustic vocals, slowly fading after 1030, fair.Also
noted Mar 13 with 1005 s/on, poor.
4747.97 PERU R Huanta 2000, Huanta, Mar 12 *0954 – on with back to back Andean vocals, man/woman with canned ID at 0959, string of lively ads until 1015, pop vocal, live locutor after 1017, more mainly Andean vocals with a few pop Latin vocals. Good signal, even better at 1100,
then fading. Also noted Mar 13 with 0103 s/off and 0952 s/on, although poor.
4749.95 INDONESIA RRI Makassar, Mar 13 1018 – signal rapidly rising from carrier level with sunset Quran prayer (Makassar sunset 1017 UTC), female announcer after 1021 between sub-continent and pop music. SCI at 1159, 3 time pips and news. After 2 hours of a steady but moderate
signal, peaking from 1215 to a truly outstanding level.
4774.95 PERU R Tarma, Tarma, Mar 12 *1001 – on with brief canned announcement by man into back to back vocals. Finally locutor at 1056 with announcements, ID at 1059 with lots of echo, mention of Peru, caught Radio Tarma mention at 1102 and back to music. Poor, CODAR, improving slightly toward 1100 and then rapidly fading. No sign of themSunday morning, Mar 13.
4790 PERU R Visi?n, Chiclayo, Mar 12, 13 – not heard
4795.96 BOLIVIA R L?pez, Uyuni, Mar 12 *0831 – OC until 0833, back to back Andean vocals, brief echo-heavy canned ID by man and woman at 0857 and back to vocals, canned ID again at 0926. Signal nicely peaking to a fair level with locutor and locutora at 0956, full canned ID mentioning
frequencies, phone at 0957 and back to Andean vocals, brief canned ID by woman between songs. Signal fading after 1030, CODAR. Also noted Mar 13 with a 0930 s/on, although weaker.
4804.98 BRAZIL R Dif do Amazonas, Manaus AM, Mar 12 *0942 – on mid-sentence, lots of echo talk by man, full canned ID at 1000, more echo announcements. Signal best a s/on, fair, slowly fading.
4814.98 ECUADOR El Buen Pastor, Saraguro, Mar 12 *1000 -s/on exactly at 1000, canned ID, brief greetings by locutor, Latin contemporary Christian vocal, more talk until 1012, Andean vocals. String of canned announcements from 1027 and back to Andean flavored vocals, then a long monologue by man until 1051, more Andean vocals. Moderate signal improving to fair after 1030, CODAR and also presumed utility blob centered on 4812 kHz, both of which fading a bit from 1100. Station also started fading after 1130. Also noted Mar 13 with exact 1000 s/on, signal poor.
4815 BRASIL R Difusora, Londrina PR, Mar 12,13 – not heard.
4824.47 PERU La Voz de la Selva, Iquitos, Mar 12 *1114 – on with female ballads, canned ID at 1121, locutor talk, canned announcements and back to ballads. Strong signal but poor modulation, fading from 1130, slight CODAR. Not noted Sunday morning, Mar 13.
4835.00 (t) PERU R Mara??n, Jaen, Mar 12 *1053 – on with live and somewhat excited locutor, low key Andean instruments in background. Left air for a few seconds at 1058, back a for a few seconds and then off again at 1059. I believe I heard mention of “Red Mara??n”, but LASWLOGS lists this one on 4835.4v. Not heard Mar 13.
4845.23 BRAZIL R Cult. Ondas Tropicais, Manaus AM, Mar 12 *0955 – OC until 1003, canned ID by man followed by choral NA, and another canned ID at 1007 then back to back pop ballads. Fair to good signal strength, only modest modulation, drifting up from an initial 4845.20 at s/on. Heavy utility QRM. Noted Mar 13 with 0934 s/on, poor.
4865.06 BRAZIL R Verdes Florestas, Cruzeiro do Sul, AC, Mar 12 *0932 – contemporary Christian vocals until 0945, low key religious monologue by man inter-spaced with occasional brief music interludes, canned ID at 1000, non-stop contemporary Christian vocals until 1028, ID, announcements then long monologue by woman, continuing over the top of the hour, fading after 1040. Fair, het from weak unid on 4864.59. Noted Mar 13 with 0051 s/off and Sunday morning 0959 s/on.
4885.02 BRAZIL R Clube do Par?, Belem PA, Mar 12 0735 – overnight Radio Clube Madrugada music program, Bom Dia program from 0900. Full R Clube do Par? canned ID caught at 1000. Great signal but over-modulated, fading rapidly after 1000. Another station also here, weak, and only
about 10 Hz up so not causing much of a growl.
4915.02 BRAZIL R Anhanguera, Aragua?na TO, Mar 12 *0901 – ballad in progress at s/on, full ID by man at 0902, more ballads, talk, pop vocals. Good signal but extremely strong CODAR, fading rapidly from 1000. Also noted Mar 13 signing on at 0905, much weaker.
4925.23 (t) BRAZIL R Educa??o Rural, Tef? AM, Mar 12 *0957 – OC until 1000, s/on announcements, all talk until fading. This would have been a good signal except for huge CODAR, could not stay with it close enough to hear an ID, so logging as tentative.

Subject: [HCDX] Glenn Hauser logs April 13, 2011

** ANTARCTICA. 15476, April 13 at 1257, 1325 and 1357, not even a carrier detectable from LRA36 — However, Bruce Winkelman in Tulsa was hearing it a bit earlier, at 1206-1215, and L?cio Ot?vio Bobrowiec in Embu, SP, Brasil, the day before at 2035-2102 — so still testing, or what will their complete new schedule be? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BONAIRE. 6250, April 13 at 0526-0527* song // much stronger signal on 6080, which is NHK Spanish relay, with 6080 leapfrogging over 6165 RNW Dutch which always goes off at 0527* sharp, thus eliminating the fulcrum. Still need to look for the dozen other Bonaire leapfrogs at various other times as previously computed (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CANADA [non]. 21490, surprised to hear gospel huxter in English, April 13 at 1331 with over-dramatic delivery, sounding almost like a parody, saying the devil`s phone number is 666-4355 (=HELL, hee hee); 1334 outro with address in Ohio given about five times: Ed Bousman, P O Box 511, Lynchburg OH 45142; “God is just a prayer away“ book of gospel bible lessons available free; 1337 Bible Voice Broadcasting ID, Toronto address. 1338 says is to Eastern Europe; 1353 still in English, cut off at 1400* sharp as another gh is saying “the apostles . . .“

Must be brand new frequency, as have been checking 13m frequently around here for Hamada 21480 — see NIGERIA [non] — and never noticed a trace of it before today. In fact, not listed in latest HFCC. Seems BVB often runs programming at odd times rather than hours or quarter-hours. Maybe a test. Fair signal but less than Hamada via Wertachtal. Site for this? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. Firedrake April 13: still nothing heard 8-18 MHz between 1305 and 1325. Propagation conditions still have not recovered from yesterday`s geomagnetic storm at G1 level (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 6050, RHC English absent April 13 at 0536 check as DXers Unlimited is starting on usual 6010, 6060, 6150. Can Arnie finally have found his heart and eliminated 6050 QRM to HCJB starting before 0100? More likely another transmitter failure, but we`ll see subsequently (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** FRANCE. 21580, RFI, April 13 at 1329 with ad for Jeune Afrique, hebdomadaire, cut off abruptly at 1330* (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GERMANY [non]. 11875, April 13 at 0523, YL in English with ACI from WEWN 11870. Normally nothing heard here, but HFCC shows DW via SOUTH AFRICA, 0500-0530, 250 kW, 5 degrees (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NIGERIA [non]. 21480, Hamada Radio International, April 13 at 1347 carrier via Wertachtal, 1400 starts promptly today in Hausa.

The WRMI website schedule has now been updated for A-11:
9545 0530-0600 46 100 180 1234567
11970 0530-0600 46 100 180 1234567
21480 1400-1430 46 100 180 1234567
11945 1930-2000 46 100 180 1234567
But DX Mix News says the 0530 is on 11970 and 9610 ex-9545, and I am not sure that all three are really 7 days a week (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PORTUGAL. 21655, RDPI is the SSOB, April 13 before 1400, as 13m has recovered somewhat, also Spain 21540, 21610 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SPAIN [non]. 11880 via COSTA RICA, April 13 at 1430, REE “Noticias en idiomas del mundo“ starts with Portuguese, so back to normal after previous swap with French (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

** ANTARCTICA. 15476, LRA36 finally back in business, following sporadic logs of it past two days, and Roberto Scaglione`s news that they hoped to have all the problems solved by April 14 for 1230-1500 transmissions (presumably M-F only) —

1228 tune-in April 14 to open carrier, fading up from S6 to peaks of S9+10. 1229 YL says “Transmite LRA36 . . . 15476“. Copy is still marginal but definite. Into music, 1234 ID also mentioning full name “Radio Nacional Arc?ngel San Gabriel“ (people tend to leave out the middle word, for some reason, but I still heard it), “Ant?rtida Argentina . . . el futuro. . .“. More talk mixed with music. 1238 “saludos . . . nuestras operadoras“. 1239 introducing Se?ora —, who says she has “41 a?os, soy enfermera [nurse]“. 1242 a male voice is heard briefly, the only one.

1243 weakening, vocal song. Generally mix of music and talk; 1312 YL seems named Lidia; 1313 giving some numbers, phone? And something .com.ar At 1316 I was surprised to hear a couple of fast CW messages ending with K. I had BFO on, but did not want to touch it, so not certain whether this was QRM or something they sent. 1317 music with heavy beat, 1330 announcement, and checked 15480 UK signal, which was steadier at S9+5 but no problem for 15476.

On this auspicious reinauguration occasion, I stayed on 15476 for a full hour, passing up my usual bandscanning, but reception waned.
Occasional chex later found at 1403 still carrier but S3 to S7 max with little audio; 1422 quick CW occurred again.

Esperanza Base is about latitude 63 which puts it outside the Antarctic Circle, and closer to the Equator than Reykjavik, Umea, Arkhangelsk, Anadyr, Unalakleet, Iqaluit.

Then we hear from Roberto Scaglione, recorded in Sicily? Only music 1210-1230 UT, regularly on the air. First 11 minutes are available on
http://www.bclnews.it/110414-15476-1230z.mp3
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CANADA [non]. 21490, no trace of a signal from BVB in English, April 14 at 1339 and further chex to 1400, unlike April 13, so that must have been a test. Or BVB transmissions may vary depending on day of week. Will we ever know whence? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. Firedrake April 14: no bandscanning 1230-1330 as I was sticking with ANTARCTICA [q.v.], but then found:
13920, good at 1346; gone at 1405
By 1350, no others 8-17 MHz.
10300, very poor at 1351 // 13920; no 8400 now
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA [and non]. 6050, while RHC was missing later last night, it`s back on the air as usual, // 6010 English during music, April 14 at 0229 check, totally blocking poor HCJB, as Arnie Coro continues to prove what a bully he is, refusing to move off the only channel HCJB can use direct from Ecuador (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GERMANY [non]. 11830, April 14 at 0539, Portuguese soon with DW ID in passing; I was expecting RFI, but its Portuguese is on 11830 after 0600 via Meyerton, while DW is 0530-0557, 250 kW, 150 degrees via Sines, PORTUGAL (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** INDIA. 15050, April 14 at 1333, after shivering in the Antarctic for an hour on 15476, I warm up by tuning here for South Asian music, flutter, S9 to S9+10 from AIR`s Sinhala service, 250 kW, 174 degrees from Delhi (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also SUDAN [non]

** KUWAIT [and non]. 21540, R. Kuwait, April 14 at 1340, good signal, in fact the Strongest signal on band (SSOB), better than #2 Saudi 21505, during drama in Arabic, complete with music including some Bach, SFX including neigh, 1341 “Idha`at – Kuwait“ ID, 1343 mentions Lebanon, Brasil. Way atop co-channel Spain; in fact only a hint of a SAH from REE during Kuwait fades, while Spain in clear on 21610, Portugal 21655 were quite weak (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NIGERIA [non]. 21480, April 14 at 1358 open carrier, like before shifting very slightly and regularly at rate of 72 times per minute, obvious with BFO slightly off-tuned. Something is amiss with this Wertachtal, GERMANY transmitter, but not noticeable in ordinary AM-mode listening.

1400 sharp, percussion starts and Hausa from Hamada Radio International, “Salaam Aleikum“. At same time started to notice some lite second-ACI from BBC Cyprus which just opened English on 21470.

Latest RMI schedule from MBR via HFCC shows additional frequencies following week only:
9610 0530-0600 daily since 8 April, 180 degrees, 100 kW Wertachtal
9860 0530-0600 daily 15-21 April, 180 degrees, 100 kW Wertachtal
11970 0530-0600 daily since 8 April, 185 degrees, 100 kW Nauen

17860 1400-1430 daily 15-21 April, 180 degrees, 125 kW Wertachtal
21480 1400-1430 daily since 8 April, 180 degrees, 125 kW Wertachtal

11945 1930-2000 daily since 8 April, 180 degrees, 100 kW Wertachtal
13800 1930-2000 daily 15-21 April, 183 degrees, 100 kW Nauen

While registered as daily, weekends may be contingency basis only; all due to elexions in Nigeria (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SUDAN [and non]. 13620, April 14 at 0527*, tuned in just in time to hear closing ID from “Radio Dabanga“, good signal. This is 250 kW, 330 degrees from MADAGASCAR at 0430-0527.

Meanwhile there was a tone test in background which continued in the clear until its 0529*. Jamming? Unseems: that gave me time to tell it was a DSB tone on an AM carrier, rather than a het. What else is there there? HFCC shows:
13620 0345 0530 38-40 BGL 500 300 Pers/Arab. IND AIR AIR
Presumably this tone happens at the tail of the AIR transmission, but if also heard much earlier in the Dabanga hour, could be jamming.

13730, April 14 at 0527, whine and grind jamming against something inaudible. The sound cuts out every 15 seconds proving that it is modulation on a normal carrier. It is also pulsing regularly at the rate of 78 times per minute. Continues past 0530 until 0537:28*. The victim is surely R. Dabanga on its other frequency, 500 kW, 255 degrees via UAE at 0430-0527 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [non]. 15580, April 14 at 0532, VOA news in English about Libya. Tho listed as Iranawila, Sri Lanka site, until 0700, there is no flutter on this, just normal lite fading, so I suspect IBB has changed to another site. They are always fiddling with sites.

Ah?, latest IBB schedule at
http://hfcc.org/data/schedbybrc.php?seas=A11&broadc=IBB
indeed shows Sri Lanka from 0300, switching to BOTSWANA at 0500 since April 8, 100 kW, 350 degrees. See my previous log April 11, when I also thought it should be Botswana, and in fact it was. Today this was much better than Nigeria on 15120, worse than Australia on 15160, 15240 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1560 monitoring: confirmed on first airings, via WRMI 9955 webcast, UT Thursday April 14 at 0330 and 1600. Next: Thu 2100, Fri 1430, Sat 0800, 1400, 1730, Sun 0800, 1530, 1730. On WWRB: Fri 0330 on 2390 (and probably 5050 as last two weeks). On WWCR: Fri 2030 on 15825, Sat 1600 on 12160, Sun 0630 on 3215. On IPAR/IRRS/NEXUS-IBA: Sat 1800 on 7290 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9370-, slightly on low side as usual compared to 1370 stations, WTJC continues to enjoy good modulation for a while, but April 14 at 0541 during hymn, also has spurs around 9335 and 9405, +/- 35 kHz. One might guess the latter were WINB, but now an ex-frequency for it. Unlike previous spur outbreaks, these are not distorted but also with good modulation, but much weaker, fading in and out. With BFO I can tell that 9405 is somewhat wobbly (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 14579-SSB, April 14 at 1347, 2-way in colloquial Spanish, hardly any of it understandable; in fact, at first I thought it was Greek. One station had engine noise background, the other breaking up severely (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

GUATEMALA. Ante los informes que apuntan a una reactivacion de Radio Cultural Coat?n, en su frecuencia de anta?o de 4780 kHz, he enviado un e-mail a dicha emisora preguntado por dicha reactivacion y esta es la respuesta del director de la misma, que parece confirmar la definitiva
desaparicion de esta emisora en la onda corta.

“AHORA YA NO SE TRANSMITE PORQUE EL TRANSMISOR EST? DESTROZADO. POR ESA RAZON QUE YA NO TRABAJA. POR OTRO LADO LOS RADIORECEPTORES QUE TIENE 60 METROS CASI YA NO EXISTEN, POR ESO YA NO PENSAMOS EN REPARAR. ATTE, DOMINGO HERNANDEZ ,DIRECTOR”

kW HF Transmitters
To: <dxld@yahoogroups.com>, “CUMBRE DX” <cumbredx@n2jeu.net>

Continental Electronics will supply a quantity of 4 each 250 kW HF DRM-ready transmitters and associated equipment to the Saudi Arabia Ministry of Information (MOI) through First Gulf Company of Riyadh. First Gulf will construct an entirely new HF station where the transmitters,
antennas, and other equipment will be installed at the existing Al Khumra site outside Jeddah. The Al Khumra station was constructed by Continental Electronics and its civil contractor between 1978 and 1980, and the site presently accommodates multiple 2-megawatt and 1-megawatt Medium Wave
transmitters.
The new high-power HF DRM-ready transmitters will enhance the Saudi MOI’s digital broadcast capabilities and can reach targeted audiences at long distance ranges with a clear, high quality signal. The DRM-ready transmitters are similar to those recently supplied to Broadcast Australia
and to Radio-TV Malaysia, employing Transradio’s latest DRM exciters with its unique pre-correction features. The transmitters will be delivered in the latter part of 2010 and the station is planned to be fully operational by mid-2011.

June 21 continued with extensive daily World Cup coverage; randomly from 1310 to 1500*; segments with commentary about the match, coverage of the action on the field, many on-air phone calls, back to play by play coverage; ads and frequent promos with jingle for football Madagascar. Interesting contrast to the CNR-1 coverage which is mostly chit-chatting between announcers and seems like very little actual coverage of the play by play action on the field. CNR-1 has the ever present background of the vuvuzela horn blowing, whereas the Madagascar coverage does not have the buzz.

June 22, 1335-1400: Hi-Li music and pop songs; 1400-1450: ToH usual canned cheering-gooooal-football Madagascar promo; into non-stop coverage of a World Cup match; 1450-1500*: ads and Hi-Li music. Mostly fair.

MALAYSIA. 6174.4v, Radio Suara Islam, 1406, June 21.
Holding up very well against a strong CNR-1 on 6175.0; reciting from the Qur’an; // 6049.6v (poor-fair).

VIETNAM. 9635, VOV-1, 1302, June 21. Poor reception under CVC in Spanish; // to the other East Sea Broadcasting Service on 7435 (fair). Also // 5975 (fair) and 11720 (fair-good); in Vietnamese with speeches and marching music. I note that 11720 often has a brief period with no audio towards the BoH. 9530 not on the air 21st nor 22nd.

Peru, 6019.25, Radio Victoria, 1008-1015, Noted a male and female in Spanish language comments.
Although there’s interference from 6020 station, using LSB brings out Victoria’s signal pretty well,
resulting in a fair level. (Chuck Bolland, June 20, 2010)

Note: 5025 KHz, Radio Rebelde, Cuba is off the air this morning. Don’t know if this is a scheduled
break due to being Sunday, or they are having transmitter problems? Unfortunately, Quillabamba, the Peruvian that is on 5025 is also off the air. SIBC on 5020 is still audible at 1020 and easily heard with Rebelde off.

U S A. 7506.20, WRNO (presumed), 0342-0400*, June 10. Christian program in Arabic along with Middle Eastern music. First time I have heard this language here. No ID at sign off. Appreciate the kind assistance of Tarek Zeidan (Denmark), who listened to my audio clip and confirmed it was a Christian religious program and he notes: no ID but typical Christian radio in Arabic, like WYFR and AWR. Thanks go out to Tarek! Per Wikipedia (Shortwave broadcasting in the United States): ? On March 13, 2010, WRNO began transmitting a weekly religious broadcast in Arabic for a portion of its broadcast schedule.?

Sent a report to Larry Thom at WRNO, along with an audio file of a portion of my June 10 reception on 7506.20. His response:

I didn’t even know about this until I read your email. I made a call to confirm and it seems this is something they have just started doing in the last hour of the broadcast. Apparently they have some audience in the Middle East. I do know they are talking about going on the air 24/7 at some point. They have hired someone in your neck of the woods to do their marketing. They have revamped the “WRNO Worldwide” Web site, so if you haven’t been there, go check it out. There is supposed to be a live feed there, but I have not confirmed this as the link is made in the Dallas Studio and I’m at
the transmitter end. I think they are planning on doing some other things with the Web site as time goes on.

The frequency is actually off a little due to a defective oscillator, and the replacements turned out to be too large to fit in the driver area of the transmitter. We are working to get new ones but so far they have not arrived.

Anyway, glad to hear the signal was so good, it is the kind of reports I like hearing!

Thanks, Larry?

ARGENTINA. 15344.18, R. Nacional, June 12 special World Cup coverage of the Argentina game from 1421 to 1457; numerous Radio Nacional? IDs; BoH two pips; naturally the announcer was excited.

CHINA. An unidentified station was heard on 15705 at 1415 on June 12, when suddenly a strong Firedrake signed on at 1417; // 8400 (good). Against who?

LAOS. 7145, Lao National R., Vientiane. Since May 28 I have been unable to hear this, but on June 10 noted them at 1209; gone by recheck at 1336. On June 12 was not on the air at 1254. Seems to have become erratic!

MADAGASCAR. 7105 (USB + carrier mode), RTV Malagasy, June 12 had almost fair reception with pre-World Cup coverage at 1355 with songs (?We Are the World?, etc.); into excited World
Cup coverage till 1410 tune out. Believe we will now be hearing a lot of ?We Are the World?, as I also heard the same song today via Radio Fly (Papua New Guinea). Outstanding reception conditions for SW coverage of the World Cup!

MYANMAR. 7200.0, Myanma Radio. On June 11 heard Korea going off at 1249, leaving Myanmar in the clear; in vernacular; pop and indigenous music. From 1331 to 1334* a lecture completely in English, provided by the Minorities and Distance Learning Services; running four minutes late.

NEW ZEALAND. 6170, RNZI, 1317, June 11. As Glenn has already reported, this Friday they returned to their normal sign on time.

PAPUA NEW GUINEA. 3915, Radio Fly, 1214-1257, June 12. Mostly pop songs; one segment with announcer between songs, but mostly non-stop music. Adjacent splatter in Korean from strong (unjammed) 3912. At first was unable to hear // 5960, but by 1257 it was stronger than 3915, which was fading out. Played ?We Are the World?; after 1300 noted 5960 mixing with talking in Chinese
(PBS Xinjiang); very poor by 1350. This is the first decent reception I have had since my last one on June 7; all other days were unusable.

Japan, 6115, Radio Nikkei2,(pres) 1005-1015 Noted a program of steady music. Looked for a parallel signal. There was music on 3925 KHz where R. Nikkei1 is situated, but could not tell if Nikkei2 and Nikkei1 were parallel because the signal on 6115 KHz was too weak to hear clearly. While Nikkei1 on 3925 KHz had a good signal going for it.

SOLOMON ISLANDS 5019.96 R Happy Isles Usual pgm of mx mixed w/W host giving PSAs and messages. Quite strong and clear at 1018 t/in, but nearly dropped out of sight in fade and Rebelde slop in 2 minutes from 1026-1028. Was hoping to get a nice ID recorded. (13 June)

MONGOLIA?? 12085 V.O. Mongolia (tent.) Could only muster tlk by W and almost Pop-like mx from 1048 to 1057*. Again, just not quite strong enough. (13 June)

UNID. 11714.87 UNID. Just tlk by W in lang. at 1120. Too weak. Definitely Asian, and kind of sounded like North Korea, but I couldn’t find this freq listed anywhere. (13 June)

TAIWAN 9734.895 TAIWAN R. Taiwan Int. Tlk by M in JP at 1120. Went off at exactly 1200 as scheduled. Was able to check it on the Perseus before it went off and found it to be 105 hz low. Bdcst was jammed, but not very effective here. Thought at first it might be NHK. (13 June)

DOMINICAN REPUBLIC. 6025.0, R. Amanecer, 0301-0305*, June 14. Series of IDs at sign off; No het or other station heard.

ETHIOPIA. 6030, Radio Oromiya, *0321-0329, June 14. Another Monday of no Cuban jamming, no R. Mart? and no Calgary QRM; repetitive xylophone-like IS.

MADAGASCAR. 7105 (USB + carrier mode), RTV Malagasy, June 14 continues to be heard via long path with a decent signal. 1336 had promo for World Cup; into long talk till 1354 series of
ads followed by the start of commentary about the upcoming Cameroon vs. Japan World Cup match with countless mentions of ?Cameroon?; then into the actual coverage of the game; still faintly heard at 1420; // 5010 (poor in USB + carrier mode) and 6134.9v (poor).

MYANMAR. 7185.78, Myanma Radio. Tuning thru 41m band on June 14 at 1254, heard a weak station on this former Myanmar frequency, playing pop song in vernacular. Checked 7200 (actually
on 7200.03v today) and found a fairly good Myanmar signal and yes, was // to 7185.78, which suddenly went off the air at 1258, while 7200.03v continued on till 1331*. Must have been an anomaly caused by miscommunication between Yangon and Naypyidaw!

TATARSTAN [non]. 15110, Tatarstan Wave/GTRK Tatarstan, via Samara, *0410-0433, June 14. Brief IS; IDs in assume Tartar (the word ?Tatarstan? give before ?programa?) and also in Russian
(”programa na volne Tatarstan”). Nice balance between segments of talking and playing songs/ballads; poor reception, but still very enjoyable to listen to their songs.

ZIMBABWE. 6045, ZBC/R. Zimbabwe, 0509-0522, June 14. Nice to hear this again in African vernacular; 0515 fanfare of African music followed by time check with ?Central Africa Time?; quickly fading out. Was not heard earlier at 0330.

ANTARCTICA. 15476, LRA36 (presumed), June 15 noted carrier off at 1509; unable to hear any audio, as is the case most days now.

CHINA. 5860, The Voice of Jinling – Jinling zhi Sheng. Recently have noted them signing on about 1437 or so. Seems to be a new sign on time; later than in the past.

DOMINICAN REPUBLIC. 6025.0, R. Amanecer, 0322, June 15. Religious singing till 0327 and seemed like a short announcement before probable going off. After that heard a very faint station on
about 6024.96 with what sounded like LA pop songs and a DJ (definitely not the R. Amanecer format), so maybe when conditions are good it is now possible to heard R. Illimani/Patria Nueva
(Bolivia) after R. Amanecer goes off. Worth checking!

INDIA. 9425, AIR Bengaluru – National Channel, from 1435 to 1500. Monday (June 14) ?Vividha? program in English about the 150th birth anniversary of Rabindranath Tagore, along with lecture about Mahatma Jyotirao Phule; Wednesday (June 16) ?Vividha? with ?Earth Beat?. Tuesday and Thursday ?Vividha? is in Hindi. Different program on Friday in Hindi.

MADAGASCAR. 7105 (USB + carrier mode), RTV Malagasy, June 16 continues on with daily World Cup coverage; randomly from 1317 to 1503*; mostly fair for the whole time. Segments
with commentary before the match started, then coverage of the action on the field followed by many phone calls taken live; Hi-Li music before sign off with no announcement; // 5010 (poor in USB + carrier mode) and 6134.9v (poor). Day after day with incredibly fine reception here!

< http://www.mediafire.com/?nzgnkmeutmx > My audio file has a very nice ?Malagasy? song with African music, followed by yelling and ?gooooal?.

MEXICO. 6009.92, Radio Mil, 0434-0453, June 15. It has been a long time since I last checked here, back when Voz de tu Conciencia totally dominated; was nice to find R. Mil completely in the clear now with almost a fair signal, except for summertime QRN. Played mostly pop songs; promo for Classic F?tbol; many IDs.

6184.95, XEPPM, R. Educaci?n 0356-0406, June 15. EZL music; Spanish and English IDs (something like: This is Radio Educaci?n, shortwave from Mexico City, XEPPM, 6,185 kHz. in the International Band of 49 meters, with 10,000 watts of power); promo in Spanish and English for new series ?discovery of Inca gold, on XEPPM Radio Educaci?n shortwave from Mexico City?. If one listens long enough here, one is bound to hear some English.

PAPUA NEW GUINEA. 3290, NBC Central, relay of Radio Gadona 95.5 FM, 1224, June 16. Island song; 1301 bird calls; ?News Roundup? In English; frequent 95.5 FM IDs; poor to almost fair.
