Glenn Hauser logs January 30-31, 2009

** BIAFRA [non]. 15665, V. of Biafra International via WHRI, Friday Jan 30 at 2052 check, insufficient, echoing with backscatter about equal to backlobe, but easily recognizable tones of The Orator, so reconfirmed. This is mainly in English, not Ibo, despite DX Mix Bulgaria schedule, and surely not more than weekly (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. Firedrake check Jan 31 at 1432: both 8400 and 9000, much stronger on the former (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA [non]. Paused for a moment on R. Martí, 13820, since it was well atop the DentroCuban Jamming Command, Sat Jan 31 at 1632 for program ``Sin Pedir Permiso`` with Ernesto Betancourt. One of the guests interviewed by phone was Gen. Fernando Ochoa Antich, from Venezuela, apparently now in the opposition. Hmmm, could be a relative of Arnaldo Coro Antich of RHC thru his mother`s family. This is all a protracted family dispute between the dentro- and fuera-Cubans, which the US has been unfortunate enough to get pulled into (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ECUADOR. HCJB, opening transmission on 12000, Jan 30 at 2059 and into automated ID at 2059:30 in Spanish, claiming to be on 12000 to SAm, and 21455 to Europe, altho HCJB closed down 21455 almost a year ago. The lesson is: HCJB should never make any real frequency changes or close down any transmitters since they are unable or unwilling to update their announcements to match reality --- what am I saying? HCJB isn`t about reality! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** EGYPT. R. Cairo, 15080, Jan 31 at 1420 with ME music, Arabic mentions of Qahira, somewhat distorted but not weak audio; considerable fading, for W Africa (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** FRANCE. RFI English is still on SW, 15605, Sat Jan 31 at 1619 with story about starting a local radio station in Tanzania, with UNESCO help; American-accented narratrice Susan --- referred to it as a ``50-kHz transmitter``; I assume she meant 50-watt! Segment was Africa Media, and at 1622 onward to The Week in France, which started with Gaza. 1627 sports. 1630 ID plus Paris 1730 timecheck, and headlines including new president in Somalia, Madagascar, Iraq, Aussie Open. 1631 Network Europe, which saves RFI from having to produce a full hour of programming itself; sufficient reception tho aimed 170 degrees from Issoudun across Africa. This is about as close as we get to a North American service from RFI, which of course is not close at all, but enough of that 500 kW wanders over here (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GERMANY [non]. The avant-garde music show on DW`s Russian service, Muzprosvet, has not yet been cancelled. Glad to hear it again Sat Jan 31 at 1530 on 11720, 76 degrees via Rampisham, but sufficient reception here, with wide variety of quasi-musical sounds from didgeridoo, trumpet, jewsharp, voices, etc. Lasted until 1559:30 but at 1558:30 a 3 Hz SAH started on the frequency, which turned out to be Radio Free Asia in Uighur as introduced in English at 1600. That`s via Tinian, and Aoki says jammed, but no jamming audible.

I had tried several times without success to find a podcast of Muzprosvet on DW`s complicated and unfriendly website. Here`s the program`s page:
http://www.dw-world.de/dw/article/0,2144,268970,00.html

Afterwards, this time I found it in the third category on the long list of DW Russian podcasts at
http://www.dw3d.de/dw/0,2142,4356,00.html
the exact link to this show audio being:
http://www.dw3d.de/popups/popup_multi_mediaplayer/0,,3736368_type_audio_struct_4356_format_WMedia,00.html
So I listened to it again with `perfect reception` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** INDONESIA. RRI Fak2, 4790, the only Indo audible on 60m, with Makassar still missing from 4750, Jan 31 as late as 1445 with continuous YL talking in Indonesian; a bit of music around 1455 and gone, sign-off I suppose, but could have just outfaded (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** JAPAN [non]. It`s the last Saturday of the month, Jan 31, so NHKWNRJ`s English feature is a classic story instead of World Interactive --- 1412 on 11705 via Canada, tale about beheading, which I could easily do without, and so I did; at least there was no pre-echo this time from Yamata direct (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. KEOR, 1120, Catoosa/Sperry/Tulsa, active again with stale unannounced oldies, Jan 30 at 1932 UT check. Still apparently testing pending sale to start regular programming with announcements, even commercials (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WWCR still with big harmonic problem: Jan 30 at 0723 check, VG signal on 6430, S9+22 and splattering plus and minus 15 kHz approx., 6415-6445; unlike some previous occasions, the fundamental also radiating on 3215, but only S9+19.

Also could hear second harmonix of 6 MHz frequencies: Jan 31 at 0622 on 11870, DGS 2 x 5935 mixing with WEWN Spanish fundamental; 11780, Pastor Pete Peters 2 x 5890, weak and no Brasil on at the moment; these were weakly audible on the FRG-7, but much stronger on the YB-400, i.e. the latter succumbing to receiver overload from the fundamentals. 0626, the strong harmonic on 6430 from // 3215 was still going.

Checking WWCR-3 webcast, Sat Jan 31, the 1730 airing of WORLD OF RADIO did not start until almost 1742, so on 12160 it may have been more than 5 minutes late. If you don`t hear WOR at a scheduled time, don`t give up (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. I just remarked that VOA`s Hausa service inbooms off the back from Greenville NC, 15185, M-F at 2030-2100 --- but not Jan 30 at 2050, when something unID was JBA. Perhaps it was missing, or perhaps the skip zone was too broad; at same time, WHRI 15665 was almost as weak from SC, which is not unusual for it on 19m, while more distant WBCQ was incoming well on 15420, plus aimed usward (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. Jan 30 at 1932 UT, exactly an hour after local mean noon, on caradio heard weak but steady signal on 1200 with weather for ``The Alamo City``, so must be WOAI San Antonio, residual skywave, as that`s a bit much for groundwave at almost 500 miles on this high a frequency, even tho it combats higher and higher solar angle southward (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

Salve amici e rieccoci qui.
Dopo un anno e mezzo di stop per motivi di forze maggiori, siamo in grado di riprendere le trasmissioni del RapportoRadio.
 
Il programma sarà sempre settimanale e della durata di 45 minuti. Il format rimane più o meno lo stesso, poche sono le novità: il sottofondo che accompagna la trasmissione, e l'angolo delle news che adesso è a cura di Antonio Dimaio iz8epg.
 
Per la ritrasmissione del programma quasi tutte le emittenti che ci ritrasmettevano hanno aderito, qualcuna è andata qualche altra si è aggiunta.
 
I collaboratori sono rimasti gli stessi quindi non sto qui a elencarli, vi posso dire però, che per queste ed altre info potete cliccare sul nostro sito: www.rapportoradio.org
 
Comunque bando alle chiacchiere la prima puntata della nuova serie che è riferita alla settimana che va da domenica 01 febbraio e fino al sabato 07, l'ospite unico sarà Quirino Tirelli iz8gfq, nostro gia collaboratore, che ci parlerà delle novità all'interno del RapportoRadio, e parleremo un pò in generale delle utility e delle sue attività radiantistiche anche sulla rete.
 
Come dicevo in chiusura del programma ci sarà uno spazio destinato alle notizie a cura di Antonio Dimaio iz8epg.
 
Dunque buon ascolto e alla prossima settimana con questa newsletter.

** AUSTRIA. I finally had a chance to check out OE1`s token non-German SW broadcasting which has not yet been abolished, to NAm on 7325, UT Thu Jan 29 from tune-in 0003, with multilingual IDs and Blue Danube IS --- but these five minutes are overtly supposed to contain Spanish, so is that gone, or just short? 0005 into Journal program spoken in Austro-German; English news segment ran from 0013:30 to 0016:15 when turned over to French. Yes, these are obviously replays of the 0700+ UT wake-up news on the domestic service and 6155. 8.5 minutes after German started correlates nicely with the original airing of English starting at 0708:30, so I guess the German preceding it as that old, too?

I noted the topics mentioned in English: Israel, Obama, Spain, Updike, Iceland, Afghanistan, octuplets. Not a word about Austria, tho some effort went into the cast, with a couple of axualities, including an Updike clip. And weather forecast, presumably for the day already expired by now; no date mentioned. Presumably all repeated again a semi-hour later, but I also missed checking at 0030 whether Spanish appeared then (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. This date, Jan 29, I intuned 9955 earlier to monitor WRMI`s transition from S to NW antenna and from Spanish Cuban to English Czech programming. At 1456, nothing but DentroCuban Jamming Command roaring away. But no sign of a change at 1500. Finally at 1502:40 WRMI flipped on with ID and into relay of yesterday`s R. Prague program. WRMI immediately dominated the jamming and Prague could be copied without a problem, tho with annoyance. Presumably the jamming dwindled during the next quarter-hour as per usual behavior, as if the Cubans want to be absolutely sure this isn`t going to revert to exile programming.

It`s good that WRMI correlates its frequency change times with axual breaks between programs, which often run late, rather than chopping something off incomplete at a set time no matter what, like some more major broadcasters do. 1530 program on this Thursday was Frecuencia al Día, as quickly rechecked at 1545. O, I see that WRMI has another schedule updated Jan 23, now filling in all the blanks at
http://www.wrmi.net/program.php?id=94
as to what programs appear M-F at 1530-1700 UT, 10:30 am-noon local:

1530 Studio DX (Mon), Frecuencia al Dia (mar-jue), Wavescan (Fri)
1600 DX Party Line (Mon-Thurs), World Baseball Today (Fri)
1615 Aventura DXista (lun-juev), DX Party Line (Fri)
1630 Reality in Jesus (Mon), World of Radio (Tues-Thurs), Frecuencia al Dia (viernes)

Since the NW antenna is working so much better in covering NAm, I wonder why they don`t stay on it at 1700-2200 M-F during the WRN relays, all in English; nothing audible except weak residual? jamming at 2100 check Jan 29 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WWCR back on 3215, UT Jan 29 at 0415 check, and again at 0700, after having been only on its double, 6430 for at least two nights. Probably still putting out a weakened harmonic on 6430. BTW, the previous report by Brian Alexander of a spur on 6414.2 UT Jan 25 and 26 can now be explained more likely as a spur of 6430 when that was axually a fundamental, than as the harmonic of a spur of 3215 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) 

** U S A. IBOC hiss on 1680 during a fade of KRJO 1680 Louisiana, Jan 29 at 1434 UT, which soon came back up with gospel music. At this time, the dominant 1690 station was R. Disney, i.e. KDDZ Arvada CO, with teeny-bopper music (or is that term passé?), Radio Disney ID, so not only WVON IL but KDDZ are outhashing from 1690, as Greg Hardison outpoints. I had overlooked another `I` symbol for the latter in the NRC AM log; and BTW they both are also shown as $=stereo, so C-QUAM plus IBOC? The two are not mutually exclusive bandwidthwise? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

Glenn Hauser logs January 28, 2009

** AFGHANISTAN [non!]. Radio Solh has vanished! Jan 28 at 1423 check no trace of it on 13830 where it used to inboom via Rampisham. Not even a carrier; and 13840 YFR via Wertachtal was well heard, so propagation OK. Nor was 13830 audible the day before, but I was hoping it was just due to poor propagation then. Before 1500 looked around for Solh on previously used frequencies, but not heard on 17700; something was on 15265 at 1450 but talk unsounded like them, and R. Liberty, Georgian via Biblis is now using that. Nothing on 9875 either after 1506, but Solh was not usually heard there anyway.

We can only wonder if this PsyOp be a casualty of the new administration in Washington, altho it seems unlikely that would be much of an Obama priority; but saving our taxpayer money is called for. This was the most redundant service on earth, playing exactly the same content day after day. Might cost less to give every Afghan a CD of it. Please check out the rest of its previous schedule:
02-03 5925 UAE
03-12 11675 UAE
12-15 13830 Rampisham
15-18 9875 Rampisham
Never mind: VTC has deleted all these transmissions as of Jan 27 with no
replacements! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ANGUILLA. Caribbean Beacon daytime frequency 11775 still absent around 1415 Jan 28, but still humming away on 6090 around 0700 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. Firedrake, Jan 28 at 1351 good on 8400, much stronger than 9000 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA [and non]. Several RHC frequencies were running with low modulation Jan 28 at 1413, which implies the studio feed wasn`t turned up to proper volume, too bad for those itching to hear what Fidel had to proclaim in 2003. First noticed on 12000, much softer than neighboring Chinese on 12005 aimed 67 degrees from well-modulated Romania. Then found undermodulation also on RHC 11760, at 1425 13760, 13680, 15370, but somewhat louder on weaker 15360, still inadequate (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** JAPAN [and non]. Interesting to hear two Japanese next to each other on 9750 and 9760, Jan 28 at 0659; 9760 of course JOZ, R. Nikkei, so 9750 must be NHK. What does PWBR `2009` show? Nothing at this hour, but instead V. of Malaysia in English, of which there was no trace. 0700 on 9750, 3+1 timesignal, and more Japanese talk, seemingly from an arena, sumo? In fact, NHK Yamata is currently registered on 9750 at 0700-1700, 300 kW, 290 degrees.

NHKWNRJ English at 1415 had severe pre-echo on 11705, first from Yamata, and then from Sackville. I would say the proportion was about 35-65. Since E Asian signals were above average this date, we could also hear NHK direct on 9875 without any echo; and on 11780 via UK but that had Brasília QRM. BTW, in A-09, NHK plans to keep right on colliding with itself on 11705 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KOREA NORTH [non]. 5985, Jan 28 at 1402 with YL speaking Mandarin slowly and distinctly but did not really help my comprehension, over continuous piano music bed, i.e. Shiokaze from Japan. At 1405 spelled something out in English letters including c-i-r-c-u-s, an address? I seldom hear it in Chinese. Has anyone caught them in a French segment lately? No QRM audible from jamming or Myanmar (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WWCR still transmitting by mistake on 6430 instead of 3215! 24 hours after first heard, Jan 28 at 0704, VG except for ute QRM, and zero signal, not even a trace of a carrier on 3215. I have not checked at other hours, but I suppose this is happening during the entire span of the scheduled 3215 transmission, 0200-1000 UT (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WRMI, 9955 still going well on NW antenna, Jan 28 after 1500 with Prague in English; by 1559 I was monitoring the webcast instead to hear Frecuencia al Día ending, so fill in another blank in the schedule, Wed at 1530; 1601 DX Partyline (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. Earlier this month I could not hear KGNO 1370 Dodge City KS in the daytime, as I used to, and figured it must have been silent. But it`s back now, altho heard via skywave, Jan 28 at 0720 UT with ID as ``AM Gold Radio 1370, KGNO``. And enjoyable music such as a 1960s version of Carole King`s ``Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow``; ``America`` by Simon & Garfunkel; ``Expressway to your Heart``, ``Gimme Some Lovin``` and something by The Temptations. Lots of QRM, but generally dominating the channel.

Also presumably same heard at 1514 UT still with heavy skywave CCI --- sounds like a regional channel, which it is. Now playing Ray Stevens` ``Ahab, the A-rab``, 1520 ``We May Never Pass This Way Again`` by Seals & Croft.

New format, no longer sports/talk as in 2008-2009 NRC AM Log. Night power supposed to be only 230 watts vs day power 5000, non-direxional day and night, which is a bit of a rarity. Maybe grandfathered; it is an old station. Here`s Ernie Cooper`s 1933 QSL: http://www.nrcdxas.org/ERC_Veries/KS/KGNO.pdf. Can`t find a KGNO website (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1540 kHz, Jan 28 at 1513 UT station in Spanish with 214 area code, therefore the 32-kW KZMP, licensed to University Park, the suburb named for SMU in The Metroplex. But more significantly, it was bothered by IBOC (boo, hiss), and so was KOMA-1520 OKC, at this late hour. AFAIK, this could only be coming from WCKY 1530 Cincinnati (or whatever the calls are this week), and there was a strong AM talker on 1530 I did not try to ID (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1690, WVON Berwyn IL, Jan 28 at 1511 UT running opinion disclaimer, then the Santita (sp?) Jackson Show, and she IDed it as ``The Talk of Chicago, 1690, WVON``. I would think that one of the bigger stations would have locked up that slogan in that market. This in the bright sunlite on our ice and snow, but solar angle still plenty low for strong skywave from over a megameter away on the X-band. This station must also be the source of IBOC hiss I often hear on 1680, altho not at this moment (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** VATICAN [non]. Surprised to hear Vatican Radio on 15595, VG Jan 28 at 1429 IS, 1430 Italian talking about Gesù, then Amazing Grace sung in English; 1503 had switched to German, translating some guy in Italian, probably the current pope; 1525 recheck in Polish, 1530 back to Italian after IS, still loud & clear; 1555 operatic singing cut off with no goodbye at 1556:45. 15595 is a VR frequency at other times, so figured they had merely extended, maybe one of their special broadcasts, altho nothing seemed special about the content.

Wait a minute! 15595 is supposed to be English to South Asia from Radio Netherlands via Madagascar --- yes, that is still scheduled at 1359-1557 per http://www.radionetherlands.nl/features/media/081026-rnw-shortwave-schedule

Therefore, this was a colossal feed mixup, no one noticing in Hilversum or Talata that they were broadcasting VR instead of RNW. Current VR sked for the European service supposed to be only on 5885, 7250, 9645 matches for 1500 German, 1515 Polish, 1530 music/Italian, but shows Portuguese until 1500 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Glenn Hauser logs January 26-27, 2009

** ANGUILLA. PMS/DGS, still missing from daytime frequency 11775, at 1446 check Jan 27; but night frequency 6090 was going as usual with constant hum, around 0700 Jan 27 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. Firedrake against Sound of Hope at 1351 Jan 27, much stronger on 8400 than 9000. At 1504, 9000 was in open carrier, but soon resumed at 1505 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. RHC wasting its watts on 15370, Jan 27 at 1411 and still at 1417, open carrier with no modulation, unlike 15120, stronger than // 15360, with stale Castro speech (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also USA: WRMI

** IRAN. Another check of VIRI Russian service on 31m at 1430-1530: Jan 27 at 1437, 9575 quite undermodulated in talk about Iran, almost synchronized with better-modulated 9735; both had a lot of flutter on near-polar paths, but much better signal on 9575 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** RUSSIA. 12025, Jan 27 at 1448 song with a disco beat, lyrical language uncertain; 1450 announcement in S Asian language pronouncing website letters as in English:
www.ruvr.ru. 1451 YL song with English lyrix; 1458 fading down, but still could make out the VOR IS. This is VOR in Urdu at 14-15, 140 degrees from Moscow (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WRMI, 9955 observations: Jan 27 at 0649, jamming pulses over AWR Wavescan, as sked Tue 0630. Then was going to monitor switchover from S antenna to NW antenna at 1500 UT, but I was too late. Earlier in the hour, as usual, nothing audible except heavy DentroCuban Jamming Command blockading R. Cuba Libre, but at tune-in 1459, R. Prague relay in English was already started, mixing with jamming, but readable. By 1513 RP with S9+19 was well over the jamming pulses; slight fading, and a constant het less than 1 kHz. By 1518 the jamming was gone but the het continued, probably coming from YFR via Taiwan, which has a hard time keeping to exact frequency: 1500-1700 in Russian as listed on 9955 in Aoki. WRMI also broadcasts in French, i.e. nonsensically to fill the time after R. Prague English, 1526 with its IS, schedule and web address announcements. 1529 another repeat of last week`s Frecuencia al Día (what day of week do new shows start now?), 1600
 DX Partyline; 1630 WORLD OF RADIO reconfirmed, Tuesday.

I see Aoki also attempts to show individual WORLD OF RADIO times on 9955 as well as individual stations relayed from WRN: unfortunately this is mostly out of date in the file marked January 27! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. Others have reported WWCR on second harmonic 6430, but now it has become a fundamental! Jan 27 at 0703 I noticed that 3215 was missing, no trace of any signal, tho WWRB 3185 was in, so not a propagation problem. WWCR doing maintenance on #1 transmitter? But then at 0706 I found a huge S9+20 signal on 6430 during InfoWars with Alex Jones, GCN radio network as IDed at 0708. Some ute QRM; or rather, severe WWCR QRM to whatever ute has a right to be there.

One must conclude that the WWCR transmitter was mistuned to the second harmonic of the normal frequency 3215, so all its power was going out on 6430. Also must have had a pipeline from TN, as the second harmonic of WWRB was also audible, but much weaker, only S9+10, on 6370 with Brother Scare, // 3185. Once again, WWRB fails to measure up to WWCR ;-\ (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. KJES, 11715, Jan 27 at 1404, G signal but undermodulated, child praying; still same 1444 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. The exclusive 31m SWBC band starts at 9400, but tell that to FEMA. SSB outstands like a sore thumb when tuning across a broadcast band in AM, and Jan 27 at 1422 found some sporadic transmissions on 9462.0. Mostly RTTY(? something digital) tests in between brief voice contacts; at 1430 call caught as WGY911, with 908 just as 911 decided due to a het, to QSY to ``channel 2-5``, wherever that is. Well, duh, of course there was a weak broadcast signal audible here on 9460, most likely CRI English via Urumqi, per Aoki. [NOT ``Urumqui`` --- get over the U-always-after-Q rule when dealing with Chinese! or Arabic.]

WGY911 gets 18,500 Google hits, quickly IDing it as FEMA HQ Telecommunications Management in Washington DC, while WGY908 is in Denver. See my previous logs of FEMA on other frequencies, and follow-up research in DXLDs 7-154 and 8-028, which showed there is a lot of inter-agency communication involved, both federal and state.

Here`s a 7-year-old report with a bit more about FEMA Washington:

UNIDENTIFIED. 9060-9085, presumed OTH radar pulses at 1504 Jan 27. Fortunately these are normally quite weak here and seldom cause a major problem (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** VENEZUELA [non]. Tuning by 11680 via Cuba a couple times in the 15-16 UT hour Jan 26, I noticed RNV is STILL announcing the totally outdated transmission schedule, and STILL announcing the unreliable Apartado 3979 address; in between, segments both in broken English and unbroken Spanish (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

Azerbaigian: Usa propongono accordo intergovernativo per radio

Ambasciatrice: sarebbe segnale importante per amministrazione Usa
 
Gli Stati uniti propongono all'Azerbaigian un "accordo intergovernativo per consentire le trasmissioni delle radio internazionali" che sono state vietate dal primo gennaio nel Paese caucasico. Lo ha annunciato l'ambasciatrice Usa a Baku Anne Derse, secondo Today.az. Le autorità statunitense "stanno aspettando una risposta" perché "anche se comprendiamo la superiorità della legge" la decisione di bloccare le trasmissioni "è frustrante", ha spiegato l'ambasciatrice. Le radio che sono state vietate - Radio Free Europe/ Radio Liberty, Voice of America, Bbc ed Europa Plus - sono responsabili e hanno contribuito allo sviluppo dei media azeri, secondo Derse, e molti cittadini azeri le ascoltano. "L'attività delle radio è di pubblico interesse che in questo momento è la cosa più importante per la nuova amministrazione americana - ha concluso - Ritengo che la ripresa delle trasmissioni radiofoniche sia un problema attuale importante. Sarebbe un segnale positivo per l'amministrazione Usa" se le trasmissioni riprendessero. Secondo Baku la ripresa delle attività delle radio internazionali è possibile solo previa firma di accordo inter-statali. Secondo le autorità azere non dovrebbero esistere trasmissioni tv o radio straniere sul territorio dell'Azerbaigian, ma c'è un'eccezione, cioè che Baku firmi accordi bilaterali con gli Stati esteri da cui provengono queste emittenti. L'Unione europea ha fortemente contestato la decisione di Baku di porre termine alla diffusione delle trasmissioni delle emittenti radio straniere da inizio anno. (Apcom-Nuova Europa)

Glenn Hauser logs January 26, 2009


** ANGUILLA. Caribbean Beacon reactivated on 1610 kHz, as widely reported. There is also speculation that some other gospel huxter in English is now on 1610, but I doubt it. At least what I heard was Defunct Gene Scott, immediately parallelable to 6090, Jan 25 at 0716.

DGS/PMS, missing again from 11775, Jan 26 at 1528 check. This is getting more and more irregular, even tho they have two SW transmitters on site, the original one and the ex-KTBN one, and have restarted MW 1610 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CANADA. CBCNQ, 9625, in trouble again, Jan 25 at 1507 in Sunday Edition, distorted modulation, but still on frequency and no upperside spurs audible yet.

9625, CBCNQ, still with problems, Jan 26 at 1510 with distorted modulation. By 1611 I was also hearing clicking noises spreading 9645-9660 which I fear were also from this transmitter as in previous breakdowns (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA [non]. CRI in English via Sackville, 6115, Jan 26 at 0655 with Chinese lesson about numbers I was kinda getting into when it was chopped off incomplete at 0659* Geez! Uncovering R. Nikkei in Japanese, with numbers too, but no doubt concerning stox (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. See VENEZUELA [non]; UNIDENTIFIED

** INTERNATIONAL WATERS [and non]. Amigos Net of yachters off the west coast of Mexico, 8122-SSB, Jan 26 at 1446. Altho I never heard Amigos Net mentioned by name; per previous logs. Signals were weak and barely audible vs noise level. NCS was calling ``long-range vessels``, and among those mentioned were ``Lovely Rita``, WDD9606 circa Acapulco; at 1450 WDB5505, R. Cappella --- it sounded more like R. than A. as you would expect, position 18-36 N, 103-42 W heading south. Mentioning flipping to ``4-bravo`` frequency on 4 MHz band, presumably 4149 as before, but that was delayed; discussion of where to get fuel and water at Zihuatanejo marina rather than Ixtapa. Net on 8122 seemed to close at 1456 but some stations such as WDD5638 continued contacting and were still going at 1503; NCS called sounded like ---7580. All calls and vessel names cited here are tentative! See DXLDs 7-159 and 8-005 for my previous reports on this with more detail, over a year ago.
 Have calls changed in the meantime? None then starting with WDD- or similar.

Perhaps if I had intuned earlier at 1415, I would have heard Don Anderson with his comprehensive weather info; his participation in this and other nets, some of them ham, is detailed here, tho almost two years old now:
http://www.pacsea.org/n6hgradio.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PALAU. 9965 had a gospel huxter in English around 1550 Jan 26, and at 1556 promo for SW as a ministry avenue, phone number in South Bend, then full ID as ``T8WH Palau, the international voice of LeSEA Broadcasting`` over Onward Christian Soldiers, until 1559* Fairly good signal (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WRMI, 9955, amid Studio DX, in Italian, UT Mon Jan 26 at 0645 check, fair signal, following WORLD OF RADIO at new time 0600. Next check at 1516, R. Prague relay in English, good signal at S9+18; Frecuencia al Día, still repeating last week`s edition, started at 1530, and at 1554 signal had built up to S9+20, and steady with hardly any fading. Looks like WRMI`s improvements to the NW antenna are working, as armchair copy even on the portable receiver. 1600 DX Partyline Jan 24 edition; I dispute Allen Graham`s assertion that ``It`s Saturday`` any more, and DXPL gets plenty of other non-Saturday airings. This one included DX news from JSWC; the mandatory gospel-huxter who always tries to tie in ``hearing distant voices`` with religionism --- o, I get it! And then logs of little interest from some Downunderite; 1616 Aventura Diexista. But at 1631 a full gospel-huxter show instead of WORLD OF RADIO which temporarily occupied that semi-hour a week
 before. No jamming noted except for some suspicious noises briefly at 1550 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WEWN with music, Spanish on both 11520 // 11550, Jan 26 at 1607. A bit more frequency diversity would seem to be prudent, but these two overlap for one hour only, 1600-1700. Also risks mixing products on 11490, 11580, but none audible (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. KJES, 11715, heard again Sunday Jan 25 at 1449, VG carrier level, but low modulation, with hum and call-and-response in English. BTW, sporadic E was in play with Mexico in on channel 3 around 1630 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [non]. VOA, 9760 via Tinang, PHILIPPINES, Jan 26 at 1518 with continuous Broadway/jazz music; 1524 suddenly cut to Business Dialogue in Spe-cial Eng-lish transmission. Must have lost feed; don`t they have backups which could be switched to instantaneously? This is aimed 21 degrees, also good for us, spelt U-S.

11765, other VOA programming at this hour, Border Crossings, 1527 Jan 26 DJ wrapping up first half from the VOA Music Mix Network, about to pause for commercials on affiliates; good signal but flutter. This is 96 degrees from Lampertheim, GERMANY, nowhere near usward (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** VENEZUELA [non]. After sporadic appearances on previous January Sundays, no sign of Aló, Presidente Jan 25: at 1447, nothing on usual frequencies 11690, 11875, 13750, 17750, and the fifth one, 13680 was occupied by mainstream RHC programming // 12000, 11760, while 13760 was open carrier; also RHC at 1452 check on 15370, 15360, missing from 15120; after 1500, RHC Esperanto on anechoic 11760. Without embargo, the RNV CI service missing during the 1500 UT hour from 11680, as necessary Sundays when there really is an A,P program; despite plenty of transmitters being available on this occasion. One more check at 1719 in case of a late start for A,P? No (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 8710, presumed OTH radar pulses, Jan 26 at 1444. Quite weak and if had been stronger probably could have detected the usual 30-kHz spread (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 11532, big open carrier at 0645 Jan 26, and remained so except for a burst of one or two words at 0657, off about 0703. A well-known spy-numbers frequency, and correlates with VG signal from RHC on 11760, which is not always the case in the nightmiddle (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

Madagascar: Opposizione saccheggia locali radio nazionale

I locali della radio nazionale malgascia (RNM) ad Antananarivo sono stati saccheggiati dai seguaci del sindaco della capitale, Andry Rajoelina che hanno appiccato un incendio tuttora in corso. Diverse migliaia di persone hanno manifestato nella piazza del 13 maggio, dove il sindaco e principale oppositore del presidente malgascio Marc Ravalomanana, aveva tenuto un discorso. Poi una parte di manifestanti si è diretta verso il Palazzo di giustizia della capitale. Gli scontri sono iniziati quando un gruppo ha fatto irruzione nella sede della radio nazionale, in prossimità del Palazzo di giustizia, distruggendo o portando via computer, mobili e fascicoli, prima di dare fuoco ai locali. Alcune macchine parcheggiate nella zona sono state danneggiate. Da quando è stato eletto sindaco, nel dicembre 2007, Rajoelina porta avanti un rapporto molto teso con il regime del presidnete Ravalomanana, peggiorato ulteriormente dopo la chiusura per mano governativa a metà dicembre di una televisione privata.

La sede de la radio nacional de Madagascar ha sido saqueada e incendiada

http://ecodiario.eleconomista.es/mundo/noticias/993782/01/09/La-sede-de-la-radio-nacional-de-Madagascar-ha-sido-saqueada-e-incendiada.html

La sede de la Radio Nacional de Madagascar (RNM) en Antananarivo fue saqueada e incendiada el lunes por partidarios del alcalde de la capital Andri Rajoelina, convocados por la oposición, constató un periodista de la AFP.

Varios miles de partidarios del alcalde de Antananarivo, que en los últimos días se ha presentado como principal opositor del presidente Marc Ravalomanana, llegaron el lunes desde la plaza del 13 de Mayo, cerca del palacio de justicia de la capital, donde les había convocado el alcalde.

Varios centenares atacaron la sede de la radio nacional, llevándose ordenadores, muebles y archivos, y prendiendo fuego al edificio, que en seguida se vio envuelto en una nube de humo, constató la AFP.

New Radio Damascus website (unofficial)

 
Dear DX-friends and radio enthusiasts

Here folllows some news about "Radio Damascus" I have to share with you.
I made a (temporary) unofficial website for "Radio Damascus" pending an official website of "Radio Damascus" where listeners can get all the necessary information to tune in to "Radio Damascus" AND with a direct link to the daily audio recordings. As it is almost impossible for non-Arabic speaking and reading listeners to find the "Radio Damascus" audio recordings on the general RTV Syria website, I hope to offer a solution to this problem by making this website for "Radio Damascus" at :


where the listeners can directly click through to the audio recordings.

Reminder : "Radio Damascus Listener Club" website :
http://www.radio-damascus-listeners-club.tk or
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/radio_damascus .

greetings fom Belgium!

A proposito di Radio Mil

A proposito dell'ascolto di Radio Mil dell'11 gennaio su 6010 dal Messico, non so se qualcuno ha detto in lista o pensato a La Voz de tu Conciencia come ipotesi più probabile, poiché non ho ancora letto la posta dell'ultima settimana. Bene, anzi male, la volta scorsa mi sono dimenticato di aggiungere due annotazioni: la prima è che l'emittente della Colombia non si sentiva e, quindi, poteva anche non essere attiva, la seconda è che la distinzione tra gli stili delle due latino-americane l'avevo già fatta in un ascolto precedente, quando entrambe erano accese, una con un sermone da parte di una donna (LV de tu Conciencia) e l'altra con una selezione di musica romantica messicana alternata ad annunci maschili preregistrati (Radio Mil).  L'11 gennaio, in ogni caso, dalle 08.05 erano presenti solo Messico e Bielorussia, poi aumentando l'esposizione solare la Bielorussia scompariva e verso le 08.30 dominava il Messico, anche se pure esso in fade out.
