Serbia, la storica B92 cambia nome (e layout): “Altrimenti non si potrà vendere”
Un passato troppo pesante per reggere un futuro leggero. Questa, in sintesi, l’attualità della storica emittente serba B92, sinonimo di resistenza al regime di Slobodan Milosevic durante gli anni ’90, che cambierà denominazione in O2 che potersi garantire la sopravvivenza commerciale.
Ne dà conto il portale Serbian Monitor.com, che spiega che la stazione radiotelevisiva B92, un tempo emblematica in Serbia, passerà ufficialmente negli annali della storia dopo che avrà cambiato il proprio nome in O2, come annunciato dai media nazionali ed internazionali.
Dusan Masic, ex giornalista di Radio B92 e autore di un libro sulla stazione radio, “Le onde della Serbia”, ha riferito a BIRN che l’ultima decisione su come cambiare il nome renderà la vendita di B92 più facile. Secondo Masic, il canale da molto tempo ha “abbandonato quasi tutto quello che B92 ha sostenuto”. Insieme a numerosi giornalisti e figure pubbliche, aveva già chiesto ai nuovi proprietari di cambiare il nome di B92 a causa di differenze concettuali.
Il quotidiano Blic ha riferito venerdì che la decisione era prevista perché “la televisione attuale non ha più nulla a che fare con il vecchio concetto di B92”, aggiungendo che testimonial della futura stazione O2 sarà l’attore Sergej Trifunovic, mentre il layout di O2 è top secret.
“È vero che ci saranno grandi cambiamenti e sorprese dall’autunno. La nostra azienda cerca sempre di essere un passo avanti e sorprendere gli spettatori nel modo migliore, e così sarà anche questa volta”, ha confermato l’Ufficio Relazioni Pubbliche della stazione radiotelevisiva.
Il veterano redattore capo del notiziario di B92, Veran Matic, uno dei fondatori dell’emittente, nata come stazione radio 28 anni fa e che oggi include anche una televisione con copertura nazionale, un canale televisivo via cavo, un sito web di notizie (la radio aveva già cambiato layout ed era stata rinominata Play Radio nel 2015), ha ricordato come l’emittente fosse stata uno dei pochi media a non cadere sotto il controllo del governo di Slobodan Milosevic durante gli anni ’90. Il suo pubblico di riferimento era quello degli intellettuali e dei giovani urbani che si opponevano al regime nazionalista autoritario.
Anche dopo i ripetuti divieti delle autorità, i giornalisti avevano continuato a trasmettere programmi radiofonici da studi nascosti (spesso solo via Internet).
Nel 1998, B92 aveva ricevuto il Premio MTV “Free Your Mind” per il giornalismo e i diritti umani e la Fondazione B92 è ancora conosciuta per il suo lavoro umanitario e per il suo sostegno a scuole e ospedali in Serbia.
Nel novembre 2010, Astonko Ltd, una joint-venture greco-svedese, aveva acquistato l’84,99% della stazione; successivamente, nel settembre del 2015, Antenna Group, di proprietà dell’imprenditore greco Minos Kyriakou, aveva assunto una quota di maggioranza in B92, mentre due mesi prima che Radio B92 cambiasse il suo nome in Play Radio, decine di giornalisti dalla radio erano stati licenziati.
L’ex direttore del programma d’informazione, Biljana Vujasinovic, ha raccontato al sito Cenzolovka, nel luglio 2015, di non essere stato in grado nemmeno dire addio ai propri ascoltatori su Radio B92, né spiegare che non ci sarebbero state più notizie sulla nuova stazione radio.
Molti noti giornalisti della “vecchia” B92, del resto, hanno da tempo abbandonato l’emittente: uno degli autori del famoso show politico “Pointer”, Danica Vucenic, ha deciso di andare a lavorare per l’emittente regionale Radio Televisione della Vojvodina, RTV e poi ha interrotto la propria attività di giornalista, mentre altri hanno iniziato a collaborare per la televisione regionale N1.
Per parte propria, l’autore dello spettacolo “The Insider”, Brankica Stankovic, ha lasciato nel 2015 e ha iniziato la sua produzione e sito web, continuando a lavorare sul giornalismo d’inchiesta.
Uno dei più noti ad aver desistito è Beckovic, ex presentatore del famoso talk show politico “Impressione della settimana”: lo spettacolo ospitava diversi politici e figure pubbliche di primo piano che discutevano di argomenti attuali.
Beckovic ha annunciato nel 2014 che l’emittente aveva deciso di non mandare più in onda il suo show ed aveva accusato l’allora primo ministro, Aleksandar Vucic, ora Presidente serbo e capo del Partito Progressista Serbo, di ostacolare il suo lavoro.
In risposta, Vucic aveva dichiarato che B92era una società privata e non poteva chiedere alla stazione di continuare a trasmettere il suo spettacolo.
Da quando ha preso il potere nel 2012, Vucic è stato accusato di minare la libertà di parola e la libertà della stampa.
Nell’ultima relazione del 2017, l’organizzazione Reporters Without Borders ha dichiarato che la Serbia è stata tra i paesi con il peggior calo delle libertà mediatiche nel corso dell’ultimo anno. (E.G. per NL - Newslinet)

Global Daily HF Radio Wave Propagation Forecast-
HF radio wave propagation conditions trend- steady state, which means neither improving nor deteriorating.
Northern Hemisphere Radio Wave Propagation Forecast-
80-60 (75-60) meters- poor at night and very poor at day, 40-30 (41-25) meters- fair at night and poor at day, 20-17 (22-16) meters- fair at night and fair at day, 15 (13) meters- poor at night and fair at day, 12-10 (11) meters- very poor at night and very poor at day.
Keep in mind that almost daily during the northern hemisphere summer season you will find that the 10 (11) meter bands will open via short north-south and east-west propagation paths via sporadic E (Es). Also when multiple sporadic E (Es) clouds form and line up favorably much longer propagation paths open up on east-west paths. And last but not least north-south propagation paths occur across the equator via trans equatorial propagation (TEP).
Southern Hemisphere Radio Wave Propagation Forecast-
80-60 (75-60) meters- fair at night and poor at day,
40-30 (41-25) meters- fair at night and fair at day,
20-17 (22-16) meters- very poor at night and fair at day,
15 (13) meters- very poor at night and poor at day,
12-10 (11) meters- very poor at night and very poor at day.
During the southern hemisphere winter season the higher HF bands of 10-20 meters (11-19 meters) close sooner due to less sun light illuminating the ionosphere than in the northern hemisphere. But the maximum useable frequency (MUF) is higher than in the northern hemisphere as the F layer of the ionosphere is lower in height and is more dense.
Received RF signal strength scale-
Very Good- +1 over S9 Or Greater
Good- S7-9
Fair- S4-6
Poor- S1-3
Very Poor- S0

We are now firmly in summer/winter solstice type of HF radio wave propagation conditions.
This means generally poor HF radio wave propagation conditions in the northern hemisphere especially at day and generally good HF radio wave propagation conditions in the southern hemisphere especially at day.
Globally HF radio wave propagation conditions are most evenly balanced
during the fall and spring equinoxes and most diametrically opposed during
the summer and winter solstice.
Conditions change daily, weekly, monthly, yearly and by decade, as the
sun rises and sets at different times and at different angles from the
ecliptic, as well as by radio wave frequency. This is due to changes in the
maximum usable frequency (MUF), lowest usable frequency (LUF) and F layer
critical frequency (FoF2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This HF Radio wave propagation forecast is produced based on the SIGINT_CAP HF radio wave propagation prediction software. I wrote it beginning in the late 1980’s but I’m sorry to say that it can’t be distributed to the general public.
And though this HF radio wave propagation forecast is produced based on the SIGINT_CAP, I do check the actual band conditions at my location in the USA and tweak the forecast manually where and when necessary. I also check global HF radio wave propagation conditions via remoted radio receivers around on every continent of the globe and tweak the forecast manually if and when necessary.
The hamateur radio JT65A mode RF signal levels received are based on 5 watts and ½ wave dipole up at 40 feet.
The hamateur radio PSK31 mode RF signal levels received are based on 25 watts and ½ wave dipole up at 40 feet.
The hamateur radio CW mode RF signal levels received are based on 50 watts and ½ wave dipole up at 40 feet.
The hamateur radio SSB RF mode signal levels received are based on 100 watts and ½ wave dipole up at 40 feet.
The HF shortwave broadcast band AM Mode RF signal levels are based on 100,000 watts (100 kw) and a typical high gain VOA type curtain array antenna.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please keep in mind that this is a relatively simplified HF radio wave
propagation forecast, so as to keep it easily understandable and applicable by the average radio enthusiast.

The D and E layers also come into play through RF radio wave signal
absorption and refraction. And then there is sporadic E (Es) radio wave
propagation that can really throw a wrench into the gears so to speak.
Things like sporadic E (Es) radio wave propagation and lightning storm
static can impact HF radio wave propagation in an unpredictable manner and
mostly bad.
Ongoing solar, space and geomagnetic weather goings on also impact HF radio
wave propagation conditions in a negative manner.

Solar, Space & Geomagnetic Weather Conditions On
Wednesday August 30, 2017-
Solar activity was high.
Earth's geomagnetic field was at a minor geomagnetic storming level.
The three daily solar flux index (SFI) numbers were 89.7 86.9 87.5.
The official daily sunspot number (SSN) was 45.
In 2017 officially there were 56 days with a daily sunspot number (SSN) of
0.
Considering that solar minimum won't occur for approximately 2 more years,
+/- 1 year, daily SSN's of 0 are occurring unusually early.
In 2016 officially there were 32 days with a daily sunspot number (SSN) of
0.
As we move forward towards the next solar minimum between solar cycle #24
and #25 the number of days with a 0 daily SSN will steadily increase.
Eventually every day for many, many, many months will see a 0, the big goose
egg.
In 2008 I forecasted solar cycle 24 to be the weakest in the past 100 years
and that forecast verified. I also forecasted that solar cycle 25 would be
virtually nonexistent, similar to the Dalton type solar minimum that
occurred in the early 1800's.
Other than sunspot magnetic polarity it will probably be very difficult to determine when solar cycle 24 ended and solar cycle 25 began.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Officially there were 3 earth facing sun spot groups (SSG).
Sunspot group (SSG) #12672 was located near N06W63 with a complex beta magnetic signature.
It was capable of producing a small in size C class solar flare and an isolated moderate in size M class solar flare.
Sunspot group (SSG) #12673 was located near N08E48 with a simple alpha magnetic signature.
It was capable of producing a small in size C class solar flare.
Sunspot group (SSG) #12674 was located near N14E64 with a complex beta magnetic signature.
It was capable of producing a small in size C class solar flare and an isolated moderate in size M class solar flare.
There was 1 unofficial and as of yet unnumbered earth facing sunspot group (SSG) near
S07W09.
There were 4 small in size C class solar flares,
C5.2,
C1.3,
C1.3,
C1.1.
There was no directly earth aimed (geoeffective) coronal mass ejection (CME).
There was no partially earth aimed coronal mass ejection (CME).
No directly earth aimed (geoeffective) coronal mass ejection (CME) related high and mid latitude energetic proton storm >10 MeV (10+0) occurred.
No partially earth aimed coronal mass ejection (CME) related high and mid latitude energetic proton storm >10 MeV (10+0) occurred.
The high latitude absorption is called polar cap absorption. The mid latitude absorption is caused by energetic protons spiraling down earth’s magnetic field lines into the equatorial ring current.
No directly earth aimed (geoeffective) solar flare related x-ray day side solar fade out (SFO) occurred.
No directly earth aimed (geoeffective) collapsing magnetic filament eruption occurred.
The 24 hour period 3 hour interval planetary K index (Kp) was at quiet geomagnetic conditions of
2 2 1 0 0 0 0 0.
The 24 hour period 3 hour interval Boulder, CO K index was at unsettled to quiet geomagnetic conditions of
2 2 3 0 2 2 2 1.
The K(p) geomagnetic indices are-
0-2- quiet
3- unsettled
4- active
5- minor geomagnetic storming
6- moderate
7- strong
8- severe
9- extreme
10- our atmosphere just got cooked off like on Mars and we are all dead.
The 24 hour period maximum and minimum planetary A index (Ap) ranged between
7 and 0,
which was at quiet geomagnetic conditions.
The Ap geomagnetic indices are-
0-7- quiet
8-15 unsettled
16-29- active
30-49- minor geomagnetic storm
50-99- major
100-400- severe
>401- our atmosphere just got cooked off like on Mars and we are all dead.
The 24 hour period averaged energetic proton flux was at a background level below 10 MeV.
The 24 hour period averaged background x-ray flux was at C5.27.
The 24 hour period averaged vertical component (Bz) of earth's geomagnetic magnetic field was at
-4.73 nT south.
The 24 hour period maximum and minimum disturbance storm time index (Dst) ranged between
-58 and +48 nT.
The 24 hour period maximum and minimum solar wind speed ranged between
421 and 344 km/s.
There was a recurrent very large in size directly earth facing (geoeffective) trans equatorial coronal hole (CH) #822 (#818).

GENERAL GUIDELINES CONCERNING CORRELATION OF PROPAGATION INDICES TO ACTUAL HF PROPAGATION CONDITIONS-
NOTE!!! The propagation indices "interpretations" are my personal
intellectual property. Therefore the radio wave propagation indices
interpretations contained herein is copyrighted © 1988-2017 by Thomas F.
Giella, W4HM, all rights reserved. Reproduction of information herein is
allowed without permission in advance as long as proper credit is given.
All 14 of the following indices have to occur as described below in order to
see the best global high frequency radio wave propagation possible,
something that happens rarely.
1.) Dropping geomagnetic field indices numbers are better, Kp of 0 best.
2.) A daily sunspot number of 150 or higher, 200 or higher best.
3.) A daily sunspot number of greater than 100 for routine stable formation
of the E Valley/F Layer ducting mechanism.
4.) Previous 24 hour Ap index under 10, fewer than 7 for several days
consecutively are best.
5.) Previous 3 hours Kp index fewer than 3 for mid latitude paths, fewer
than 2 for high latitude paths, 0 for several days consecutively is best.
6.) Energetic protons no greater than 10 MeV (10+0).
7.) Background x-ray flux levels greater than B1 for several days
consecutively, greater than C1 best.
8.) No current STRATWARM alert.
9.) Interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) Bz with a (positive number) sign,
indicates a lesser chance of high latitude path aurora
absorption/unpredictable refraction or scattering of medium frequency RF
signals, when the Kp is above 3.
10.) A -10 or better towards a positive number Dst index during the recovery
time after a geomagnetic storm, as related to the equatorial ring current. A
positive number is best.
11.) Rising positive T index number. The T Index tracks with the F2 layer
critical frequency (foF2) and sunspot number (SSN) and indicates the
capability of the F2 layer to refract RF signals.
12.) Galactic cosmic rays decrease to -3 units below zero and trending
towards zero.
13.) Energetic electron flux levels no greater than 2 MeV (2+0).
14. A solar wind speed of less than 300 km/s for several days consecutively.

GENERAL GUIDELINES CONCERNING CORRELATION OF PROPAGATION INDICES TO ACTUAL HF PROPAGATION CONDITIONS-
NOTE!!! The propagation indices "interpretations" are my personal
intellectual property. Therefore the radio wave propagation indices
interpretations contained herein is copyrighted © 1988-2017 by Thomas F.
Giella, W4HM, all rights reserved. Reproduction of information herein is
allowed without permission in advance as long as proper credit is given.
All 14 of the following indices have to occur as described below in order to
see the best global high frequency radio wave propagation possible,
something that happens rarely.
1.) Dropping geomagnetic field indices numbers are better, Kp of 0 best.
2.) A daily sunspot number of 150 or higher, 200 or higher best.
3.) A daily sunspot number of greater than 100 for routine stable formation
of the E Valley/F Layer ducting mechanism.
4.) Previous 24 hour Ap index under 10, fewer than 7 for several days
consecutively are best.
5.) Previous 3 hours Kp index fewer than 3 for mid latitude paths, fewer
than 2 for high latitude paths, 0 for several days consecutively is best.
6.) Energetic protons no greater than 10 MeV (10+0).
7.) Background x-ray flux levels greater than B1 for several days
consecutively, greater than C1 best.
8.) No current STRATWARM alert.
9.) Interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) Bz with a (positive number) sign,
indicates a lesser chance of high latitude path aurora
absorption/unpredictable refraction or scattering of medium frequency RF
signals, when the Kp is above 3.
10.) A -10 or better towards a positive number Dst index during the recovery
time after a geomagnetic storm, as related to the equatorial ring current. A
positive number is best.
11.) Rising positive T index number. The T Index tracks with the F2 layer
critical frequency (foF2) and sunspot number (SSN) and indicates the
capability of the F2 layer to refract RF signals.
12.) Galactic cosmic rays decrease to -3 units below zero and trending
towards zero.
13.) Energetic electron flux levels no greater than 2 MeV (2+0).
14. A solar wind speed of less than 300 km/s for several days consecutively.

Glenn Hauser logs August 30-31, 2017
** ASCENSION. 6005, Aug 31 at 0622, BBCWS in English, poor signal but cannot hear any hum which used to accompany this transmitter. Maybe eliminated, as Chris Greenway has forwarded my reports about it to English Bay (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. 9818.626, Aug 31 at 0323, JBA carrier, presumed latest variant of R. Nove de Julho, which for some weeks had held close to 9819, as on Aug 20 & 26 logged by Carlos Gonçalves, Portugal. Rumen Pankov, Bulgaria, reported it on 9820.1 August 7 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ERITREA. 7181.553, Aug 31 at 0248, S9 open carrier, no doubt Voice of the Broad Masses of Eritrea-1 warming up. No DRM jamming but occasional QRhaM LSB. At 0254, het from another AM carrier about 7182.60 --- that could be a ham, or Ethiopian jammer tuning up to be switched to DRM shortly. But no QRDRM heard by 0317 tune-out. VOBME-1 started programming by 0301, talk in unID language, and the het is off. 0317 a bit of HOA music and more talk.
7140.021, Aug 31 at 0249, S6 open carrier, much weaker, from the other VOBME-2 warming up. Also programming by 0301, bits of music audible. No DRM jamming here either as long as I listen (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ETHIOPIA [non]. 7235.00, Aug 31 at 0307, talk by two M sounds Arabic, S9. Can`t be R. Ethiopia, since it`s not off-frequency! NDXC search shows it`s Afia Darfur via SAO TOME daily at 0300-0330 only. Ethiopia is also misleadingly listed on 7235.00 starting at 0400 some days with Eritrean clandestines. Too-precise defaults must be overridden! Just say 7235 or 7235v without the unwarranted decimals (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ETHIOPIA. 6110, Aug 31 at 0318, presumed R. Fana, S9 music, by far the best signal on 49m from this country, but unfortunately splashed by NHK via FRANCE which starts 6105 at 0300 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KUWAIT. 13645-13650-13655, Aug 30 at 1948, DRM noise at S5-S8; also 15535-15540-15545, DRM noise at S5; R. Kuwait allegedly in Arabic and English respectively. Surely too weak to decode for those so equipped, but could have been readable if in outmoded AM mode, tsk2. Still waiting for them to try this on 17545-17550-17555 Arabic to western North America after 2000, not yet reactivated even in AM (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SPAIN. 17715, Aug 30 at 1950, REE is good at S9+10, much better than usual on South American frequency; while North American frequency, 17855 remains off. 17715 is about equal to // 15520 for Mideast. I would not be surprised if 17715 has been switched to the N American antenna which would have been with 17855 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 5130.339-AM, Aug 31 at 0237, WBCQ has again jumped to the hi side of 5130, different transmitter than used on lo side? Poor signal, but sounds like `Allan Weiner Worldwide` currently filling time on UT Thursdays only, when this frequency used to substitute for Brother Scare, bumped off 7490-AM, for the weekly Hal Turner show, still running there. 5130+ is off by 0305 check (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9396.5 approx., Aug 31 at 0618, hi-speed RTTY QRMing WRMI 9395 Oldies, which is weak but OK if tuned in LSB. Normally no such interference, which WRMI cannot afford (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Quiet: Sep 5 - 7
Unsettled: Sep 2 - 5
Active: Sep 1 - 2, 4 - 5
Minor storm: Sep 1
Major storm: 0
Severe storm: 0
Geomagnetic activity summary:
Beecause of large coronal hole reaching the equatorial solar latitudes, we
expect the active conditions in the two coming days. Tomorrow (Septermber
1) we expect possible storming effect but the local K-index should not
exceed value 5.
We expect unsettled to active conditions between September 2 and
September 4. At the end of this unsettled event, active episode is
possible about September 4 because of coronal hole CIR.
Since September 5, we expect geomagnetic activity decrease to quiet to
unsettled conditions.

Minor storm: Sep 1
Major storm: 0
Severe storm: 0
Geomagnetic activity summary:
Beecause of large coronal hole reaching the equatorial solar latitudes, we
expect the active conditions in the two coming days. Tomorrow (Septermber
1) we expect possible storming effect but the local K-index should not
exceed value 5.
We expect unsettled to active conditions between September 2 and
September 4. At the end of this unsettled event, active episode is
possible about September 4 because of coronal hole CIR.
Since September 5, we expect geomagnetic activity decrease to quiet to
unsettled conditions.

Glenn Hauser logs August 30, 2017
** ARGENTINA [non]. 9455 slightly stronger than // 9955, the latter also vs Cuban pulse jamming, Aug 30 at 1150, WRMI relaying RAE, YL in Brazuguese but with Argentine Spanish accent, quite a combination, talking about Mexican universities and arts, also serenaded by piano music bed (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** AUSTRALIA [and non]. 5045.0, Aug 30 at 1121, JBA carrier from presumed Ozy Radio, much weaker than 5020 Solomons. I fear this is not going to get any better here in deep North America. 1156 recheck, now that other slightly stronger carrier on 5045.8 is on again and hetting. Still weaker than something on 5050, China or India. I was about to ask if anyone else has been hearing the 5045.8, but Ron Howard had already responded to my previous report:
``Hi Glenn, It was back on May 17, that I emailed a DXer in Australia
about the fact I had started hearing a decent signal (open carrier) on about 5045.75. Subsequently I have occasionally heard it again, but never for long periods of time. Realized it was just too strong to be associated with any low powered Australian station(s) and must be a utility, which is what you also must have heard today. Never noted with any modulation. Not sure how much QRM, if any, this will generate for Ozy Radio? Ron, San Francisco`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CATALUNYA. 7157-LSB, Aug 30 at 0535, EA3BOX calling CQ DX in English, at least six times with no response. ``Blue Ocean Xray``. He`s Joan Solà Vilaseca, Rambla Vidal 39. 3º B, 17220 Sant Feliu de Guixols, Catalunya, Spain [sic]. This late at night we are more likely to hear Iberia than North America on 40 m.
His QRZ.com page bears the colorful independence flag of red and yellow stripes, single white star in a blue triangle, labeled ``Next DXCC Entity: Catalonia``! preceding the Sept 13 referendum (which could result in another civil war?) plus lots of photos of his antennas, etc., and his bare chest.
Yes, it`s about time we jumped the gun on this radio country, at least, altho without any SW broadcasters since Playa de Pals was destroyed. I suggest that those who ever logged and/or QSLed Radio Liberty from there should augment their totals retroactively. Does the ITU have a new callsign block QRX?
Joan`s lema, still in Castilian: ``Discutir con un imbécil, es como montar en bici estática; Te esfuerzas, sudas, te cansas, te agotas y al final no te lleva a ningun lado......`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ETHIOPIA [non]. 5940-, Aug 30 at 0530 checking for the new Somali region station, but it`s really too late; there is a JBA carrier on the lo side, no doubt BRASIL. This frequency is tough with splash from WWCR 5935 unless it is occasionally prop-dropping out (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GUATEMALA. 4055, Aug 30 at 1130, R. Verdad is S9+10, about normal strength, but just barely modulated, suppressed and distorted. Dr Madrid had sent out a call yesterday for help, since the transmitter was malfunxioning, after an electrical outage, probably caused by a power surge. He couldn`t get it to modulate at normal power level. He`s asking for reports from DXers. Now it also has some SSB QRM nearby, unusual (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA [and non]. 3325, Aug 30 at 1126 music at S6-S4, only hear one station but BFO suggests two. After my TP JBA MW carrier bandscan, check again at 1146, and nothing here! Both NBC Bougainville and RRI must have gone off early.
There remain carriers on 3320 from Korea North at 1146, 3260 from PNG at 1147. Among others: see UNID 3240
Atsunori Ishida`s site is always very useful for Indonesian activity:
http://rri.jpn.org
He`s logged Palangkaraya every day in August, but no entry yet for Aug 30. Generally it relays Jakarta news at 1200, local news at 1400, off at 1700, all times variable by a few minutes. BTW, the last date he heard Ternate 3345 was July 8 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 580, Aug 30 at 1136, XEMU with Spanish M&W discussing petrol price rises expected at HEB, Walmart, affecting Piedras Negras, due to TX refinery floodings (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 820, Aug 30 at 1200 UT, romantic Spanish song, 1203 segué to a norteña, never mind any TOH IDs; weak and makes slow SAH with equally weak & nullable WBAP. Suspect it is the usual XEABCA, Mexicali BCN (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 1170 +IBOC noise, Aug 30 at 1207 UT, KFAQ Tulsa local talkhost trying to deny that this is a ``failing state`` despite budget crisis, teachers fleeing to Texas, highest female incarceration rate, worst opioid epidemic, etc., etc. (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 1520, Aug 30 at 0555 UT, KOKC OKC with Deborah telling fortunes to random callers; oh, make that ``psychic readings`` on `Beyond Reality Radio`. What nonsense they ply us with, M-F at 05-06 UT per sked, which requires expansions to see it all:
http://kokcradio.com/program-schedule/
BRR is originally a 2-hour show from 04 UT, infesting a number of major stations:
http://beyondrealityradio.com/how-to-listen/
(Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 2097.3-CW, Aug 30 at 1152 UT, beacon ``A`` in Morse code every dekasecond, quite clearly, from Quartzsite AZ. Nice to hear at least one of these QRP beacons, with nothing audible on the 4 or 13 MHz bands for months (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1893 monitoring: confirmed Wednesday August 30 after 1315 on WRMI, 9955, S9 and no jamming at 1322; but lite pulse jamming by 1333; tnx a lot, Arnie! Next:

** U S A. 9955, Aug 30 at 1345 right after WOR 1893, WRMI with Jeff introducing an aircheck of his 21525 Radio Africa transmitter, recorded on the balcony of some hotel room, South Africa? Sounds like for his own info, rather than a `Viva Miami` produxion as scheduled now; breakfast calls and I don`t have time to listen further. Unfinished `Wavescans` have occasionally made it on air too (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 3185, Aug 30 at 1149, WWRBS is off already, tho had been on at first scan circa 1125; 9370 has a JBA carrier (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 730, Aug 30 at 1134 UT, 85 degree forecast, KLOE ID in passing, back to `America`s First News`. Not that far away at Goodland, NW Kansas, but rarely heard here; now it`s dominant even over XEHB. Not a daytimer but 1000/20 watts U1, also 20 watts PSRA. Guess what: official FCC sunrise in August is 1200 UT; soon to be 1230 UT in September. Note that Goodland is on Mountain time, like most of the westernmost tier of Kansas counties, which might as find themselves in Colorado (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Pacific JBA MW carrier search August 30 at 1139-1145:
Looping WSW: 612, 657, 702 (yesterday typoed as 701), 738, 756, 1035.
Looping both WSW and NW, or rather no nulls: 774, Australia and Japan
Looping West: 1098
Looping NW only: 747, 828
738 is interesting, with Tahiti pest out of the way: there is a 50 kW in NSW. 1098 always assumed V7AB Marshalls; NW the bigsigs from NHK Japan. 1035 would like to be Solomons, more powerful than the single Aussie, but weaker than the Enzedder. Nothing detected above 1098, but the higher end, especially 1200-1500 has heavier QRM from all the domestix.
I don`t spend a lot of time doing this with only the DX-398 internal antenna, as I know I need more gain to succeed. Maybe if I ever get some signs of TP audio I will be motivated to get out of bed and fire up the NRD-545 & Wellbrook (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 3240, Aug 30 at 1154 UT, JBA carrier, maybe second harmonic of some 1620, if not a receiver mixing product. Today I make a complete scan of 2000-3400 hoping for some signs of MW harmonix, but no luck beyond locals such as 3280 KZLS. Come on stations, get with it! Among thousands of MW stations there must be at least a few capable of radiating a bit on multiples. Even 2850 North Korea fundamental is a JBA carrier, unless it`s a 3 x 950 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Global Daily HF Radio Wave Propagation Forecast-
HF radio wave propagation conditions trend- deteriorating.
Northern Hemisphere Radio Wave Propagation Fcst-
80-60 (75-60) meters- poor at night and very poor at day, 40-30 (41-25) meters- fair at night and poor at day, 20-17 (22-16) meters- fair at night and fair at day, 15 (13) meters- poor at night and fair at day, 12-10 (11) meters- very poor at night and very poor at day.
Keep in mind that almost daily during the northern hemisphere summer season you will find that the 10 (11) meter bands will open via short north-south and east-west propagation paths via sporadic E (Es). Also when multiple sporadic E (Es) clouds form and line up favorably much longer propagation paths open up on east-west paths. And last but not least north-south propagation paths occur across the equator via trans equatorial propagation (TEP).
Southern Hemisphere Radio Wave Propagation Fcst-
80-60 (75-60) meters- fair at night and poor at day,
40-30 (41-25) meters- fair at night and fair at day,
20-17 (22-16) meters- very poor at night and fair at day,
15 (13) meters- very poor at night and poor at day,
12-10 (11) meters- very poor at night and very poor at day.
During the southern hemisphere winter season the higher HF bands of 10-20 meters (11-19 meters) close sooner due to less sun light illuminating the ionosphere than in the northern hemisphere. But the maximum useable frequency (MUF) is higher than in the northern hemisphere as the F layer of the ionosphere is lower in height and is more dense.
Received RF signal strength scale-
Very Good- +1 over S9 Or Greater
Good- S7-9
Fair- S4-6
Poor- S1-3
Very Poor- S0

We are now firmly in summer/winter solstice type of HF radio wave propagation conditions.
This means generally poor HF radio wave propagation conditions in the northern hemisphere especially at day and generally good HF radio wave propagation conditions in the southern hemisphere especially at day.
Globally HF radio wave propagation conditions are most evenly balanced
during the fall and spring equinoxes and most diametrically opposed during
the summer and winter solstice.
Conditions change daily, weekly, monthly, yearly and by decade, as the
sun rises and sets at different times and at different angles from the
ecliptic, as well as by radio wave frequency. This is due to changes in the
maximum usable frequency (MUF), lowest usable frequency (LUF) and F layer
critical frequency (FoF2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This HF Radio wave propagation forecast is produced based on the SIGINT_CAP HF radio wave propagation prediction software. I wrote it beginning in the late 1980’s but I’m sorry to say that it can’t be distributed to the general public.
And though this HF radio wave propagation forecast is produced based on the SIGINT_CAP, I do check the actual band conditions at my location in the USA and tweak the forecast manually where and when necessary. I also check global HF radio wave propagation conditions via remoted radio receivers around on every continent of the globe and tweak the forecast manually if and when necessary.
The hamateur radio JT65A mode RF signal levels received are based on 5 watts and ½ wave dipole up at 40 feet.
The hamateur radio PSK31 mode RF signal levels received are based on 25 watts and ½ wave dipole up at 40 feet.
The hamateur radio CW mode RF signal levels received are based on 50 watts and ½ wave dipole up at 40 feet.
The hamateur radio SSB RF mode signal levels received are based on 100 watts and ½ wave dipole up at 40 feet.
The HF shortwave broadcast band AM Mode RF signal levels are based on 100,000 watts (100 kw) and a typical high gain VOA type curtain array antenna.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please keep in mind that this is a relatively simplified HF radio wave
propagation forecast, so as to keep it easily understandable and applicable by the average radio enthusiast.
Globally HF radio wave propagation conditions are most evenly balanced
during the fall and spring equinoxes and most diametrically opposed during
the summer and winter solstices.
Conditions change daily, weekly, monthly, yearly and by decade, as the
sun rises and sets at different times and at different angles from the
ecliptic, as well as by radio wave frequency. This is due to changes in the
maximum usable frequency (MUF), lowest usable frequency (LUF) and F layer
critical frequency (FoF2).
The D and E layers also come into play through RF radio wave signal
absorption and refraction. And then there is sporadic E (Es) radio wave
propagation that can really throw a wrench into the gears so to speak.
Things like sporadic E (Es) radio wave propagation and lightning storm
static can impact HF radio wave propagation in an unpredictable manner and
mostly bad.
Ongoing solar, space and geomagnetic weather goings on also impact HF radio
wave propagation conditions in a negative manner.

Solar, Space & Geomagnetic Weather Conditions On
Tuesday August 29, 2017-
Solar activity was high.
Earth's geomagnetic field was at an active level.
The three daily solar flux index (SFI) numbers were 85.6 84.3 85.2.
The official daily sunspot number (SSN) was 40.
In 2017 officially there were 56 days with a daily sunspot number (SSN) of
0.
Considering that solar minimum won't occur for approximately 2 more years,
+/- 1 year, daily SSN's of 0 are occurring unusually early.
In 2016 officially there were 32 days with a daily sunspot number (SSN) of
0.
As we move forward towards the next solar minimum between solar cycle #24
and #25 the number of days with a 0 daily SSN will steadily increase.
Eventually every day for many, many, many months will see a 0, the big goose
egg.
In 2008 I forecasted solar cycle 24 to be the weakest in the past 100 years
and that forecast verified. I also forecasted that solar cycle 25 would be
virtually nonexistent, similar to the Dalton type solar minimum that
occurred in the early 1800's.
Other than sunspot magnetic polarity it will probably be very difficult to determine when solar cycle 24 ended and solar cycle 25 began.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Officially there were 3 earth facing sun spot groups (SSG).
Sunspot group (SSG) #12672 was located near N06W50 with a complex beta magnetic signature.
It was capable of producing a small in size C class solar flare and an isolated moderate in size M class solar flare.
Sunspot group (SSG) #12673 was located near S08E62 with a simple alpha magnetic signature.
It was capable of producing a small in size C class solar flare.
Sunspot group (SSG) #12674 was located near N11E70 with a complex beta magnetic signature.
It was capable of producing a small in size C class solar flare and an isolated moderate in size M class solar flare.
There were 4 unofficial and as of yet unnumbered earth facing sunspot group (SSG) near
N20W44,
N11W13,
N18W57,
S07E05.
There were 5 small in size C class solar flares,
C2.8,
C1.3,
C1.3,
C1.1,
C1.0.
There was no directly earth aimed (geoeffective) coronal mass ejection (CME).
No directly earth aimed (geoeffective) coronal mass ejection (CME) related high and mid latitude energetic proton storm >10 MeV (10+0) occurred.
The high latitude absorption is called polar cap absorption. The mid latitude absorption is caused by energetic protons spiraling down earth’s magnetic field lines into the equatorial ring current.
No directly earth aimed (geoeffective) solar flare related x-ray day side solar fade out (SFO) occurred.
No directly earth aimed (geoeffective) collapsing magnetic filament eruption occurred.
The 24 hour period 3 hour interval planetary K index (Kp) was at active to quiet geomagnetic conditions of
1 1 1 1 1 2 4 2.
The 24 hour period 3 hour interval Boulder, CO K index was at active to quiet geomagnetic conditions of
1 2 2 2 2 3 4 3.
The K(p) geomagnetic indices are-
0-2- quiet
3- unsettled
4- active
5- minor geomagnetic storming
6- moderate
7- strong
8- severe
9- extreme
10- our atmosphere just got cooked off like on Mars and we are all dead.
The 24 hour period maximum and minimum planetary A index (Ap) ranged between
27 and 4,
which was at active to quiet geomagnetic conditions.
The Ap geomagnetic indices are-
0-7- quiet
8-15 unsettled
16-29- active
30-49- minor geomagnetic storm
50-99- major
100-400- severe
>401- our atmosphere just got cooked off like on Mars and we are all dead.
The 24 hour period averaged energetic proton flux was at a background level below 10 MeV.
The 24 hour period averaged background x-ray flux was at C1.39.
The 24 hour period averaged vertical component (Bz) of earth's geomagnetic magnetic field was at
+0.78 nT north.
The 24 hour period maximum and minimum disturbance storm time index (Dst) ranged between
-19 and +1 nT.
The 24 hour period maximum and minimum solar wind speed ranged between
425 and 275 km/s.
The 275 reading is the slowest solar wind velocity in quite a long time. We will see more and more of these slow solar wind speeds as we move further into deep solar minimum.
There was a recurrent very large in size directly earth facing (geoeffective) trans equatorial coronal hole (CH) #822 (#818).
In approximately 1-2 days CH #822’s high speed solar wind stream (HSS) will connect to earth’s geomagnetic field and begin impacting it in a negative manner in the form of possible minor (Kp-5) geomagnetic storming conditions.

interpretations contained herein is copyrighted © 1988-2017 by Thomas F.
Giella, W4HM, all rights reserved. Reproduction of information herein is

All 14 of the following indices have to occur as described below in order to
see the best global high frequency radio wave propagation possible,
something that happens rarely.
1.) Dropping geomagnetic field indices numbers are better, Kp of 0 best.
2.) A daily sunspot number of 150 or higher, 200 or higher best.
3.) A daily sunspot number of greater than 100 for routine stable formation
of the E Valley/F Layer ducting mechanism.
4.) Previous 24 hour Ap index under 10, fewer than 7 for several days
consecutively are best.
5.) Previous 3 hours Kp index fewer than 3 for mid latitude paths, fewer
than 2 for high latitude paths, 0 for several days consecutively is best.
6.) Energetic protons no greater than 10 MeV (10+0).
7.) Background x-ray flux levels greater than B1 for several days
consecutively, greater than C1 best.
8.) No current STRATWARM alert.
9.) Interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) Bz with a (positive number) sign,
indicates a lesser chance of high latitude path aurora
absorption/unpredictable refraction or scattering of medium frequency RF
signals, when the Kp is above 3.
10.) A -10 or better towards a positive number Dst index during the recovery
time after a geomagnetic storm, as related to the equatorial ring current. A
positive number is best.
11.) Rising positive T index number. The T Index tracks with the F2 layer
critical frequency (foF2) and sunspot number (SSN) and indicates the
capability of the F2 layer to refract RF signals.
12.) Galactic cosmic rays decrease to -3 units below zero and trending
towards zero.
13.) Energetic electron flux levels no greater than 2 MeV (2+0).
14. A solar wind speed of less than 300 km/s for several days consecutively.

4.) Previous 24 hour Ap index under 10, fewer than 7 for several days
consecutively are best.
5.) Previous 3 hours Kp index fewer than 3 for mid latitude paths, fewer
than 2 for high latitude paths, 0 for several days consecutively is best.
6.) Energetic protons no greater than 10 MeV (10+0).
7.) Background x-ray flux levels greater than B1 for several days
consecutively, greater than C1 best.
8.) No current STRATWARM alert.
9.) Interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) Bz with a (positive number) sign,
