MSF 60 kHz Time and Frequency Signal, notice of Interruption

We have just been informed that the MSF 60 kHz time and frequency signal broadcast from Anthorn Radio Station will be off-air for annual maintenance work from:

Monday 4 July until Wednesday 20 July (including weekends).  The signal will be off-air each day between 08:00 BST and 18:00 BST unless the weather is too poor to allow maintenance work to be carried out.

We will aim to get the service back on air as soon as possible rather than waiting to the end of the downtime scheduled. The interruption to the transmission is required to allow essential maintenance work to be carried out in safety.

** U S A. 15730, June 29 at 1409, S9 open carrier goes off and back on, typical behavior of Greenville testing transmitter for broadcast a few hours later (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 12105, June 29 at 1910 check, WTWW-3 is still OFF (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 9284.937, June 29 at 0020, JBA carrier. Maybe something local, but possibly a broadcaster. Nothing currently listed, not even SOH in Aoki, but WINB has defined the band down to 9265; and HFCC has a registration for Cairo on 9280, not active per Aoki and EiBi (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 9655.00, June 29 at 0025, S9+10 signal where normally there is nothing, and nothing listed, continuous S Asian (?) singing with instruments. Sounds quite repetitive, maybe a long loop? No breaks at all until 0100 time signal a few seconds late and into Arabic? talk; 0104 sounds like a drama, or maybe just a commercial. I don`t have time to follow this closely, but 0221 recheck still on, weaker at S9 with Arabic talk. I guess it`s a special for Ramadan and suspect #1 is Algeria, which via France is already using 9655 at 20-22 UT. On that idea at 0500, I check the very weak RTA signal on 7295 and find its timesignal is also about 5 seconds late. I posted this to the DXLD yg at 0230, but no replies. We`ll see if this recur 24 hours later. 

It doesn`t: JBA carrier on 9655 at 2157 June 29, but no signal after 2200; except JBA carrier detectable from algo at 2341; none at further chex June 30 after 0000, 0030, 0130 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1832, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Glenn Hauser logs June 27-28, 2016

** ALASKA. 11765, June 28 at 1450, choral gospel music, S9+10 with splash from 11760 RHC. HFCC shows English hours at 14-15 on 11765 both from CRI via Urumqi and from KNLS Anchor Point, but I assume the latter (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ALBANIA. 9854.972, June 28 at *0120, R. Tirana comes on, still with big humroar atop interval signal; 0140 check, program audio is so buried it`s unreadable. Radio Tirana desperately needs to do something about this; there is no point in continuing to transmit until this defect be repaired. I`m sure a few relays via e.g. German or US transmitters could be arranged at not much cost for a national broadcaster (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** COLOMBIA [and non]. 6010+, June 28 at 0127, two very weak signals very close together, and both slightly on the hi side, presumed The Voice of Thy Conscience, and Brasil`s Rádio Inconfidência (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 6000, June 28 at 0612, RHC English modulation is suptorted, while on // 6165 it`s merely undermodulated. Wiggle that patchcord! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KOREA NORTH [non]. 9900, June 27 at 1335, Japanese talk and music, fair S5-S9. Aoki says Furusato no Kaze at 1330-1400 via Paochung, TAIWAN (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KOREA SOUTH. 12923-CW, June 28 at 1310, CQ marker DE HLW2, with QSX info, weak and hard to copy, but tnx for all the repetitions.

12916.5-CW, June 28 at 1315, similar CQ marker DE HLF, even weaker. Both these are Soul Radio, per Klingenfuss (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 1640, June 27 at 1921 UT check, KZLS Enid/OKC is still OFF. Also still off at 1618 June 28 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 13550, June 27 at 1914, suspicious JBA carrier on the R75, so I subtract 1390 from it and get: 12160: ergo, external mixing product between local KCRC and WWCR. (I don`t really expect this item to be republished, but my log includes local items I need to keep track of. However, it could also serve as an example of what others should be on the lookout for in their own circumstances.) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SAIPAN [non?]. 13790.048, June 28 at 0608, JBA signal with talk. Aoki & HFCC show it`s only RFA in Chinese via Agignan Point at 03-07, jammed. But it`s unusual for either one to be so far off-frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [non]. 11700, June 28 at 0114, M&W in SW Asian language, S6. It`s Deewa Radio in Pashto, which had been via SRI LANKA until closed down; now via THAILAND (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1831 monitoring: confirmed Monday June 27 at 2330 on WBCQ, 9329.897-CUSB, fair. Next:

Tue 2130   WRMI 15770 to NE

Tue 2330   WBCQ 9330v-CUSB to WSW

Wed 1315.5 WRMI 9955 to SSE

Wed 2100   WBCQ 7490v to WSW

Wed 2330   WBCQ 9330v-CUSB to WSW

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9955, June 28 at 1340, the two `Ask WWCR` guys are discussing the NASB meeting in Nashville, cut off with no outro at 1344:30 for WRMI ID and 1345 into FG Radio. Tue 1330-1345 block is supposed to be `Viva Miami`, apparently ceded to WWCR for this report (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) 

** U S A. 12105, June 27 at 1921, WTWW-3 is still off. I think it has not been on at all for a few days now. Maybe finally wore out all the redundant playbacks of Bibling Worldwide? Nominal span had been 17-02 UT (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5050, June 28 at 0105, WWRB is on despite this being a Monday night/UT Tuesday, rather than previous weekend-only schedule. S9+10 signal with gospel huxter wrapping up by giving phone 304-679-3615, which is in West Virginia. Then WWRB canned ID giving its phone 931-728-6087; running late, starting another g.h. at odd time of 0106, hum and awful webfeed audio with artifacts at first, but then clears up somewhat. Mentions live broadcast on Monday June 23[?] of ``Heart & Soul of America Worldwide Broadcast`` with Mark [Marc?] Anthony on WWRB, 5050. But then says is heard Saturday and Sunday nights at 9 pm ET, 8 pm CST [sic], but on live feed right now [really?]. Address P O Box 103, Centreville /spelt/, VA 20122, USA; hsamarkanthony@gmail.com ``all in lower case`` --- axually e-mail addresses are not case-sensitive, don`t you know, but why ever bother to capitalize them? Or is it hsamarcanthony@gmail.com or antony --- Still going past 0139 so his show must be more than a semihour. A program by the same title used to be on WBCQ, but no linx there, dead end (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Schedule of Marconi Radio International on air on 29 June 2016

Just a short reminder of our regular weekly brodcasts on Wednesdays. Marconi Radio International will once again be on air tomorrow 29 June 2016, as follows: 

1830-1930 UTC on 15070 kHz (USB mode), 2000-2100 UTC and 2130-2230 UTC on 7700 kHz (USB Mode).

 

Our broadcasts include some kind of programmes now sadly missing from most shortwave radio stations:  an old style DX show in English “Italian Short Wave 

Panorama”  and Italian "Panorama Onde Corte" with a lot of recent logs and a feature on Eye Radio from South Sudan, as well as  a mailbag programme in Italian. Our  station identification  announcements are not only in English and Italian but also in French, German, Japanese, Spanish and Catalan.

 

MRI encourages reception reports from listeners. Audio clips (mp3-file) of our broadcasts are welcome! We QSL 100%. Our electronic mail address is: 

marconiradiointernational@gmail.com - Please don’t forget to include your postal address as some lucky listeners will also receive a printed QSL card.

 

Last but not least,  we need your help! If you use social networks, please post an announcement on Facebook  or send out a tweet the day  before the 

broadcast. You can also forward this message to a friend. This should help increase our  potential audience.

 

We hope to hear from a lot of shortwave listeners about our transmissions.

 

Best 73's

Highlights of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity 20 - 26 June 2016

Solar activity was very low during the entire summary period with
only B-class flare activity observed. No Earth-directed CMEs
occurred.

No proton events were observed at geosynchronous orbit.

The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit reached
high levels on 21-22 Jun and 25-26 Jun following coronal hole high
speed stream events. Normal to moderate levels were observed on the
remaining days.

Geomagnetic field activity was quiet on 20-21 Jun. Mostly quiet
conditions were observed early on 22 Jun but activity increased
after 22/1800 UTC due to enhanced solar wind parameters and
unsettled to minor storm levels were observed. Quiet to unsettled
conditions with isolated active periods were observed on 23-24 Jun
due to negative polarity CH HSS effects. Quiet to unsettled
conditions were observed on 25-26 Jun with an isolated period of
active conditions observed from 26/2100-2400 UTC due to CH HSS
effects.

FORECAST OF SOLAR AND GEOMAGNETIC ACTIVITY 27 JUNE - 23 JULY 2016

Solar activity is expected to be very low throughout the forecast
period with a slight chance for C-class activity.

No proton events are expected at geosynchronous orbit.

The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit is
expected to be at high levels from 27 Jun to 01 Jul following CH HSS
effects. Normal to moderate levels are expected on 02-03 Jul as a
CIR redistributes electrons. High levels are expected to return from
04-07 Jul following a recurrent CH HSS. Moderate levels are expected
from 08-21 Jul followed by moderate to high levels on 22-23 Jul
following another recurrent CH HSS.

Geomagnetic field activity is expected to begin at unsettled to
active levels but decrease to mostly quiet levels by midday on 27
Jun and remain quiet through 29 Jun. Quiet to unsettled conditions
are expected from 30 Jun to 05 Jul with isolated active conditions
possible on 03 Jul due to a recurrent negative polarity CH HSS.
Quiet conditions are expected on 06 Jul. Quiet to unsettled
conditions are expected from 07-12 Jul with minor storms possible on
11 Jul and active periods likely on 12 Jul due to effects from a
recurrent positive polarity CH HSS. Mostly quiet conditions are
expected to return from 13-18 Jul with unsettled periods possible on
14-15 Jul. Quiet to unsettled conditions are expected on 19-21 Jul
due to negative polarity CH HSS effects with an isolated active
period likely on 19 Jul. Quiet conditions are expected for the
remainder of the period.

DAB/DAB+ E DRM: UN’INTEGRAZIONE VANTAGGIOSA È POSSIBILE?

I tecnici sono da sempre convinti che gli standard DAB/DAB+ e DRM non siano concorrenti, ma possano essere vantaggiosamente integrati. Ce la faranno a convincere il mercato?

Il Forum Digital Radio Mondiale della Germania, un'organizzazione affiliata del Consorzio DRM, ha pubblicato una panoramica (QUI IL DOCUMENTO) sulle tecnologie digitali terrestri disponibili in Europa e ha analizzato l'idoneità di ogni tecnologia per il mercato tedesco.

La rivista Radio World, edita da NewBay Media come Broadcast&Production, ne ha approfondito il contenuto.

Il rapporto illustra le ragioni per la digitalizzazione, nonché i vantaggi e gli svantaggi delle piattaforme DAB, DAB+ e DRM (ora articolato in DRM30 per frequenze fino a 30 MHz e DRM+ per frequenze in banda FM) analizzati con specifico riferimento alle esigenze delle emittenti in Germania.

Si ritiene che il DAB sia più efficiente quando si richiede la copertura di grandi aree con la diffusione contemporanea e continua di molti programmi (fino a 16 a 20). Il DRM+ risulta invece preferibile per la distribuzione di uno o pochi programmi che interessino una piccola area con un unico trasmettitore.

Il rapporto spiega che DAB/DAB+ e DRM+ possono essere ricevuti e decodificati su un unico ricevitore, dotato di chipset con sufficiente memoria e potenza di calcolo. DRM+ può anche essere ricevuto con lo stesso ricevitore in formato chiavetta USB già disponibile in commercio per la ricezione di segnali FM e DAB, richiedendo solo piccole modifiche software.

Secondo il rapporto, il CEPT (Conferenza Europea delle Poste e delle Telecomunicazioni, comitato per le comunicazioni elettroniche) ritiene che le possibili interferenze fra sistemi radio digitali, la ricezione FM e servizi aeronautici per la radionavigazione sarebbe così forte che un uso parallelo (simulcast) di DRM+ e FM analogica non sarebbe possibile .

Per evitare questi problemi di interferenza è possibile coordinare trasmettitori DRM+ in banda III VHF con le reti DAB già pianificate e assegnate a questa banda. Infatti, per distribuire il segnale di singole stazioni radio in piccole zone di copertura eterogenee e con una limitata offerta di programmi, si ritiene che la capacità di trasmissione e le esigenze di larghezza di banda DAB siano troppo alti, sottolineando che per garantire la medesima area di copertura il DRM+ richiede una larghezza di banda decisamente inferiore e solo il 10 cento circa della potenza irradiata da un trasmettitore DAB.

Sempre secondo il rapporto, è possibile che in molti paesi europei non vi saranno abbastanza “slot” DAB disponibili per migrare tutte le emittenti locali e regionali attive in FM locale su trasmissioni DAB. Il rapporto suggerisce che per garantire il successo della digitalizzazione radiofonica dovrebbe essere previsto un modello di transizione differente: quello attuale, basato unicamente sullo standard DAB, permette infatti di ampliare le aree di copertura locali oggi esistenti, trasformandole di fatto in aree comuni di copertura regionale, ma a prezzo di un eccessivo consumo di risorse frequenziali e snaturando l’essenza stessa della radio locale.

La logica conclusione è che se le trasmissioni FM locali sono distribuite su una vasta area da grandi reti di trasmettitori DAB che coprono diverse zone, la copertura si espande ma anche la concorrenza  con le emittenti della altre zone raggiunte.

La panoramica sottolinea inoltre che attualmente non esistono ricevitori radio digitali disponibili esclusivamente per il sistema DRM+ e che è necessario creare ricevitori in grado di ricevere DAB e DRM, nonché FM su banda II VHF (l’attuale banda FM), aggiungendo che è necessario chiarire il quadro della futura radiofonia digitale europea per indurre l'industria ad adottare chipset multistandard DAB+/DRM+/FM.

Questo comprenderebbe anche l'inclusione del DRM nell'iniziativa "Euro-Chip", sostenuta dal servizio pubblico radiotelevisivo tedesco Deutschlandradio, la BBC e la EBU per la ricezione di DAB, DAB+, DMB, FM e AM (limitatamente alle bande sotto i 30 MHz).

Lo studio rileva che un primo confronto di DAB e DRM+ dimostra che per la distribuzione di uno, due (o anche tre) programmi, il costo totale per la distribuzione in una zona singola e limitata (quale è l’area di servizio tipica di una radio locale) è sostanzialmente inferiore con il sistema DRM+ che con il DAB.

La Community Media Forum Europe e la World Association of Community Radio Broadcaster si sono rivolte alla Commissione Europea con la raccomandazione che il DRM venga essere utilizzato per la radio digitale terrestre locale, sottolineando che il DRM dovrebbe essere impiegato dove la copertura DAB non è fattibile.

Il rapporto tedesco sottolinea, inoltre, che il Consorzio DRM dovrebbe chiarire gli interessi del settore ed il quadro normativo allo scopo di favorire l’introduzione di ricevitori e chipset multistandard sul mercato europeo.

Glenn Hauser logs June 26-27, 2016

** ARGENTINA. 15343.90, June 27 at 0119, S3 Radio Nacional with hyper-enthusiastic silly ballgame coverage, but seemingly interrupted by brief commercials during lulls. Argentina is obviously one of the teams, and as a matter of fact this is the finale of the Copa América, vs Chile, as per promotion on Univisión which has scheduled it until 0200 UT. So one last try to find any SSB feeders carrying this from Chile or Argentina: still nothing on 12365-USB, nor from anything in a bandscan all the way from 12 to 16 MHz in the next few minutes (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BRAZIL. 11815.0, June 27 at 0056, my wish has been granted, as Rádio Brasil Central provides better reception than last time, now up to S2, some peaks to S3 during music past 0100 until 0102 quick ID as ``Rádio Brasil Central, Goiânia``, and back to music. Nothing audible on 4985 with all that heavy RTTY. As the Goiás state government station, RBC is to be cherished vs all the gospel huxters infesting the Brazilian SW dial, and if the federal station RNA be closed, RBC will become even more vital (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6873.55, June 27 at 0048, JBA carrier, the only sign of activity on the pirate band. Numerous logs here from further east, especially New England, between 0018 and 0127 say it`s Pirate Radio Boston, featuring Weird Al:

http://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,28826.0.html

Initial thread header says 6873.4, later 6873.5 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 1640, June 27 at 0133 UT check, KZLS Enid is still off. If this keep up much longer, may call or visit station re what`s up (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PERU. 5980, June 27 at 0102, JBA carrier from R. Chaski, until cutoff at 0103:00.5*, which is 12.5 seconds later than two nights ago, or slipping 6.25 per (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 7780, June 27 at 0049, (while I am holding forth on 7730, WRMI), Brother Scare is re-re-re-replaying his May 31-June 1 bit criticising me for publishing what people hear him say, dimbulb accusing me of saying it, instead of Harold Frodge who would very much like BS to mention him by name (pronounced with a long O). Exactly the same thing about Napoleon not ruling Michigan, etc., as described in DXLDs 16-20 and 16-22, so I won`t go into that again (but see UNSOLICITED TESTIMONIALS in DXLD 16-26). Soon talks about Venezuela, which he hasn`t a clue how to pronounce. Hey God, please enlighten Your Prophet – it`s not quite too late! Or Brother Jeff could help him with that. Thus it`s on all the other WRMIBS frequencies now, plus about 10 seconds later on 7489.90 WBCQ (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SRI LANKA. 11905, June 27 at *0114:41.5, SLBC carrier cuts on at S1 and seems strong enough to detect modulation, but cannot hear any music prélude or mis-timesignal, dead air past 0116. At 0145 recheck seems still DA or maybe just barely modulated. In the minute before *cut-on, there were utility-like blaaps, perhaps unrelated (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** UGANDA [non]. 15240, Sunday June 26 at 1852, checking WWRB for Radio Munansi before it`s over at 1900: a song is running, but sounds very strange, extremely bass voice and slow pace, as if played back at half speed, altho the instrumental accompaniment does not sound so slow/low, but probably also semispeed; was just much higher pitched and fast to start with (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1831 monitoring: confirmed UT Monday June 27 at 0020, WRMI, 7730, (following slightly overlapping ad by The Smart Money Guy), S9+20 on the R75 with inside antenna due to storm; by 0047 on the NRD-545 with ALA330 antenna, it`s S9+40. Also confirmed UT Monday June 27 at 0300 sharp from Area 51 webcast; 5130 not checked until 0344, but it is on with HRI, fair signal. Also confirmed UT Monday 0344 during WRMI 9955 broadcast from 0330, fair. Next:

Mon 2330   WBCQ 9330v-CUSB to WSW

Tue 1100   WRMI 9955 to SSE

Tue 2130   WRMI 15770 to NE

Tue 2330   WBCQ 9330v-CUSB to WSW

Wed 2100   WBCQ 7490v to WSW

Wed 2330   WBCQ 9330v-CUSB to WSW

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5049.99, UT Monday June 27 at 0108, WWRB is on with very strong signal, gospel huxter asserting that ``Our Lord & Saviour Jesus Christ is going to return on July 29, 2016, end-of-the-world, get yourself together`` as his audio feed is breaking up. Well, we won`t have long to debunk that; then what? No idea who he is as I`m not listening to this nonsense any further and WWRB does not provide a program schedule. See also UGANDA [non] (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. Re WBCQ announcement on June 18: ``Another new/special program, `Tom Cole? Theater`, with No Longer Amen? which is oldtime radio drama airing several times around the July 4 weekend on all frequencies, starting on 7490, June 26 at 5 pm [ET = Sunday 21 UT --- bumping `Marion`s Attic` ???]`` --- now it`s June 26 at 2153 so I try to detect whether it`s Marion`s Attic or something else on 7489.937 --- just too weak; but by 2157 I`m hearing song ``Jealousy``, and announcements identifiably by the voices of Marion and her sidekickess. 

Having left the R-75 on, recheck WBCQ at 0023 June 27 and find it has drifted to 7489.909 during BS. So I also pinpoint the other WBCQs:

9329.990-CUSB, June 27 at 0024 with Blalock the Blaster

5129.937-AM, June 27 at 0025, S8 but hardly any modulation. At 0105 June 27, now it`s better and I`ve switched to the NRD-545, measuring it on 5129.92 just as an apparently live DJ says he is on 5.130 Mcs, time at 8:04 pm somewhere in ----, Arkansas. I try to look up who this is at the Area 51 website, http://www.worldmicroscope.com but instead it forwards to Larry Will`s other page http://zappahead.tumblr.com/ with stuff all about June 2015, a year ago! Anyhow, this is `Plastic Magic` as here:

** U S A. 12105, June 27 at 0126, WTWW-3 is AWOL. I believe it had been off all afternoon June 26; 9475 WTWW-1 is nominal (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

 

UNIDENTIFIED. 1020, June 27 at 0137 UT, KOKP Perry OK seems off, but I do have an open carrier not strong enough for this semi-local, slightly on the low side; then two different Spanish music stations on N/S and E/W antennas, perhaps Nebraska and New Mexico or Cuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 13561.95-CW, June 27 at 0123, bipper at the steady rate of 100 per minute. Not hearing any HIFER beacons with IDs lately, but maybe this match parameters of something I have not been able to find reported or listed. Ideas? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
