The 54 years old DSWCI which counts experienced DX-ers in 33 countries all over the world as members, has just issued the 13th Edition of its annual Domestic Broadcasting Survey. This survey is divided into three parts:
Part 1: The 39th edition of the Tropical Bands Survey covering all ACTIVE broadcasting stations on 2300 – 5700 kHz, including clandestines.
Part 2: Domestic stations on international shortwave bands above 5700 kHz broadcasting to a domestic audience.
Part 3: Deleted frequencies between 2 and 30 MHz which have not been reported heard during the past five years, but may reappear.
(This Part 3 is only published in the E-mail version, but buyers of the printed version can get a copy from the Editor upon request.)

This new Survey is based upon many official sources and DX-bulletins. A11 schedules are included when available.
In order to make the DBS reliable, our own monitors around the world have checked throughout the period May 2010 – March 2011, if each of the 775 station frequencies is on the air. ACTIVE stations are marked with an A (”Regular”), B (”Irregular”) or C (”Sporadic”) in the list. D means “Likely inactive”. A unique feature is the right column called “Last log”. It shows the last month and year before DBS deadline on March 31, 2011 when the particular station was reported logged by a DX-er somewhere in the world. This is another way of indicating the current audibility of the station. To avoid inactive stations in this DBS, most frequencies which have not been heard during the past year, have been deleted and are moved to Part 3.

Other useful features for easy identification (ID) are the parallel frequencies and reference to Station ID slogans. Three sample extracts from the DBS-13 are shown the next page. Reviews can be found on http://www.dswci.org/dbs All buyers of DBS-13 will get a username and password to the monthly updates on the tropical bands published as “Tropical Bands Monitor” on our website. The similar data from 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010 are available at www.dswci.org/tbm to anybody.

The 26 pages A-4 size DBS-13 is available by e-mail as pdf-format (about 955 KB). A limited number is also available printed on paper. It has 23 pages without Part 3.

Dear Radio Caroline Supporter,

Join us starting this Easter Friday at 7:00 am UK time live from the Ross Revenge for a very special 11 day celebration of Radio Caroline’s 47th birthday. We will be broadcasting on AM 531 to south Essex and north Kent, in addition to our Sky 0199 channel to the UK and Europe and our worldwide internet streams.

This year we have two very special gifts for those joining our Support Group or making a donation of £30 or more at any time during our Birthday Bash! Plus a chance to win some fabulous prizes.

We’ve designed a very special 47th Birthday Bash Live From The Ross Revenge Easter 2011 T-shirt available only to every new member or minimum donor plus a CD containing three one hour audio documentaries about Radio Caroline and offshore radio, written, produced and narrated by Paul Rowley, BBC Radio Kent’s Westminster correspondent and closet anorak!

We also have dozens of spot-prizes to give away to new members and minimum donors.

Do seriously consider helping the station if you enjoy listening to us. We can only continue with your generosity.

Those listeners joining the RCSG or making one-off donations of £30 or more between Friday, April 22 and Monday May 2 UK time will receive two free gifts:

Gift 1: A CD containing three one hour Paul Rowley radio documentaries:

The Radio Election, one of the last “untold” stories of Radio Caroline, set in May 1970, when Ronan O’Rahilly pitted himself against his arch nemesis, Harold Wilson, in an unprecedented attempt to take down the Government which had forced him off the air two years previously, against the will of the new 18+ electorate;
The Other Radio Caroline, the story of Radio Caroline North, which at least from 1964 to 1966 was very arguably the more popular and influential of the two Radio Caroline ships; and
When Pirates Ruled the Waves, the amazing story of offshore radio.

Gift 2: A 47th Birthday Bash T-Shirt, featuring photos of all your favourite present day presenters in a unique Radio Caroline bell design to commemorate our 11 day broadcast, specially created as a “one off” for this event, and sure to become a collector’s item.

You will also be entered in our fabulous Prize Draw, taking place over the last three days of our Birthday Bash broadcast, April 30 to May 2, with over 40 prizes including:

2 iPod Shuffles, the latest model, in smart silver and black, with 2GB of storage capacity and 15 hour battery life;
10 DVDs of the Foo Fighters brand new documentary, Back and Forth, detailing the band’s rise to fame and culminating in the recording of the band’s back to basics new album in Dave Grohl’s garage on analogue tape;
“King of Limbs” CDs, Vinyl LPs and Collector’s Posters from Radiohead, the latest release from the UK’s most influential band of the last two decades;
5 DVDs of “Ladies and Gentlemen, the Rolling Stones” filmed in Texas on their legendary 1972 US tour with 15 of their best songs and arguably their strongest line up, with Mick Taylor on lead guitar;
5 copies of the soon to be released paperback edition of “Life”, the widely and deservedly acclaimed autobiography of Keith Richards;
5 signed copies of our own Steve Conway’s “Shiprocked”, describing in funny and sometimes harrowing detail his life aboard the Ross Revenge in the 1980’s. Each copy comes with an A4 size colour photo of the Ross Revenge at sea with her giant mast. And don’t miss Steve’s live shows from the Ross Revenge during our Birthday Bash.

Starting this Good Friday, April 22, to join or donate, click on the ‘Directly Help’ button at the top of our Home Page or click here to go to our Support Group page which also contains a list of Frequently Asked Questions about our Birthday Bash Membership Drive.

David Ensor to Serve as Director of Voice of America

Posted: 18 Apr 2011 09:41 AM PDT

The Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG) has selected award-winning broadcaster and communications executive David Ensor to serve as the next director of the Voice of America (VOA). VOA reaches an audience of 123 million people with unbiased news and information in 44 languages across multiple media platforms.

“The democracy uprisings of the past two months have shown the critical importance of the free flow of credible information in empowering people around the world. The Voice of America has been pursuing this mission for seventy years by providing great journalism and a clear presentation of America and its policies,” said Walter Isaacson, Chairman of the BBG which oversees all U.S. international broadcasting including the VOA. “David Ensor is uniquely suited to lead VOA in fulfilling this dual mission. We are deeply honored that he would continue to be of service to journalism and to his country by following in the tradition of Edward R. Murrow and John Chancellor.”

Ensor has been Director for Communications and Public Diplomacy of the U.S. Embassy in Kabul, Afghanistan since January 2010 and will join VOA in June.

“David Ensor’s unique experiences and skills make him a solid fit for this role,” said Judith A. McHale, the Under Secretary of State for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs, who serves as Secretary of State
Hillary Clinton’s representative to the BBG, and who oversaw Ensor’s work in Afghanistan. “The State Department has been very fortunate to have David oversee our public diplomacy effort in Afghanistan, and we
wish him well as he prepares to take the lead at VOA.”

Ensor is a winner of a National Headliner Award and an Emmy-nominated broadcast journalist whose 32-year career in television and radio news included extensive reporting on international affairs. Ensor covered
the demise of Communism in Russia and Poland, armed conflicts in Bosnia, Chechnya, El Salvador, and Afghanistan, and the U.S. response to the 9/11 attacks. He was CNN’s National Security Correspondent and
prior to that, an ABC News correspondent, with assignments in Washington, Moscow, Rome, and Warsaw. Ensor reported from Washington for National Public Radio covering foreign policy and defense issues.

In welcoming David Ensor, the BBG thanked retiring VOA Director Danforth Austin for his outstanding leadership. The Board recognized Austin’s role in improving VOA’s ability to engage with and grow audiences across multiple media platforms, integrating broadcast, online and social media while remaining steadfast to the principles of sound journalism enshrined in the VOA charter. Appointed to the post in October 2006, Austin has been one of the longest serving VOA directors.

Ensor is a member of the U.S. Council on Foreign Relations and is fluent in French. He received a B.A. with honors from the University of California, Berkeley. Ensor holds the Knight’s Cross awarded by the
President of Poland.

Change of IARU Region 3 Secretary

Posted: 13 Mar 2011 06:52 AM PDT

The Directors of IARU Region 3 very much regret to announce the resignation for personal reasons of Seiichi (Jay) Oka JA1TRC as Secretary of IARU Region 3 from 9 March 2011. Jay became Assistant Secretary to Keigo Komuro JA1KAB then the IARU Region 3 Secretary in September 1998 and on Keigo’s resignation, Secretary in June 2009.

The Directors have formally recorded their acknowledgment of his contribution to amateur radio and IARU Region 3 over so very many years. As required by clause 41 of its Constitution, the Directors have appointed Katsumi (Ken) Yamamoto JA1CJP as Secretary of IARU Region 3 on the nomination of JARL. In nominating Ken as Secretary, JARL President Shozo Hara JA1AN reaffirmed his society’s strong and continuing support of IARU Region 3 and its secretary, at the same time stressing the importance of the regional secretary’s independence from any member society.

Ken holds a Bachelor of Science degree in electronics engineering and worked for KDD, now KDDI, in the satellite communications field for many years. During that time he worked in many countries, including five years stationed in the United Kingdom working with the International Maritime Satellite Organization. He retired from KDDI in 2002. Ken is currently head of the JARL International Section on a part time basis. He was first licensed as a radio amateur in 1967 and today continues to have an active interest in DX and contests. He was a member of the Japanese delegation representing the amateur service to the recently concluded ITU Conference Preparatory Meeting for WRC 2012.

I am very confident that Ken will make a significant contribution to IARU Region 3 and I am
delighted that he has accepted this appointment.

Michael Owen VK3KI
Chairman
IARU Region 3

BBC launches new FM service in Ghana’s Western Region

Posted: 13 Mar 2011 01:30 AM PST

The BBC will today launch BBC 104.7FM in Ghana’s Western Region, from a transmitter based just outside Sekondi-Takoradi, Ghana’s third largest media market and the country’s new oil city. The transmission will also reach parts of the Central Region and provide coverage along important transport routes in the area.

BBC’s investment in a second 24/7 dedicated FM in Ghana gives audiences in and around the Western Region the opportunity to hear the full range of BBC programmes. BBC 104.7FM will broadcast news and current affairs programmes, sports and documentaries.

Simon Kendall, Head of Business Development at BBC Global News, said: “We are absolutely committed to our audiences in Africa and delivering our content on FM, whether through relays or with partnerships, will be a big part of that commitment. Our investment in BBC 104.7FM will
help us reach a wider audience in Ghana, growing our connection with listeners in this important country.”

Solomon Mugera, Editor, Africa, said: “Audiences are at the heart of everything we do at the BBC; the launch of BBC 104.7 FM brings the BBC much closer to its audience, offering them a range of African and world news and current affairs programmes. Audiences also have the opportunity to tune to live Premiership match commentary every Saturday and Sunday.”

To mark the launch of the transmitter World Have Your Say – the BBC’s award-winning global interactive news discussion show on radio and TV – will be at Skyy House in Takoradi to broadcast a special launch show at 6pm. Hosted by Nuala McGovern, the programme will be connecting audiences in Ghana with people around the world. On a day that celebrates the economic, political and social achievements of women over the last century, the programme will debate the following question: “Why do so many men around the world think it is okay to harass and sexually assault women?”

Hosted on the BBC’s international news services – on radio (BBC World Service) and on TV (BBC World News) – the show is a global conversation, with the agenda set by everyone taking part. The show uses different technology to enable as many people as possible in different parts of the world to join the debate via bbc.co.uk/blogs/worldhaveyoursay, Twitter (@bbc_whys), Facebook (World Have Your Say), telephone and on air.

Japan Emergency Communication by JARLgoing on – latest update

Posted: 13 Mar 2011 01:16 AM PST

INFORMATION FROM QRZ.COM FORUM

It has been 24 hours since the worst earthquake for 140 years hit off north-eastern Sendai registering 8.9 on the Richter scale and triggering a tsunami.

The Japan Amateur Radio League (JARL) Secretary Ken Yamamoto JA1CJP reports that the disaster appears to have resulted in more than 1,300 people killed or missing.

JARL Regional HQ station JA7RL is now involved in emergency communication to support rescue and disaster relief coordination.

Ken JA1CJP said they are using 7 MHz SSB, 144 MHz SSB/FM and 430 MHz SSB/FM.

The freqency 7043 controlled by JR3QHQ the Osaka branch manager of JARL.

He is gathering incident information on radio and forwarding this information on the internet.

The channel 7075 is operated by JL3YSP in Wakayama occasionally. While 7030 kHz is the JARL emergency communication frequency in their bandplan is in use by JA7RL (JARL regional HQ station).

Japan has 1.3 million hams and is not in need of emergency communication help externally, although this has been kindly offered.

Ken JA1CJP said basically the efforts being made are purely voluntary. No organised emergency communication has been arranged.

Television coverage includes the heartbreaking stories of the quake hitting and the tsunami that swept away coastal towns and felt throughout the Pacific.

Occurring late afternoon on Friday, disrupting plans for travel, it was the worst in Japan for 140 years.

Caught up in the drama was IARU Regional 3 Chairman Michael Owen VK3KI who had earlier attended an IARU conference. He’s safe and well, and hopeful of being on a flight home.

Jim Linton, VK3PC
Chairman IARU Region 3 Disaster Communications Committee.

Saudi Arabia to acquire DRM-Ready High Power 250 kW HF Transmitters

Posted: 25 Jun 2010 07:55 PM PDT

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.
