NORTH KOREA   On August 15 North Korea is to move its time zone back by
30 minutes, so that local time will be GMT+8.5 h. This puts North Korea
back to the situation before 1912, when Japanese imperialists put Korea
into the same time zone as Japan. Do you expect this change to shortwave
broadcasts of KCBS Pyongyang, Pyongyang BS and Voice of Korea. Full A-15
schedule of Voice of Korea is here, + video VOKorea in Russian on Aug.7:

Pubblicata la legge europea 2014

La legge europea 2014 è stata  pubblicata in Gazzetta Ufficiale lo scorso 3 agosto  (http://www.gazzettaufficiale.it/eli/id/2015/08/03/15G00129/sg), divenendo la legge 29 luglio 2015, n. 115; entrerà in vigore il prossimo 18 agosto.

Siccome penso di essere facile profeta affermando che per AGCOM e Ministero quello delle onde medie ai privati non sarà il  primo pensiero, invito chi vorrà e potrà a fare pressioni - anche solo mediante lettere correttamente indirizzate - per l'emanazione dei criteri e delle modalità di assegnazione delle frequenze da parte dell'AGCOM; una volta emanati tali criteri e modalità, si passerà a sollecitare il Ministero.

Ecco gli indirizzi:

Presidente dell'Autorità per le Garanzie nelle Comunicazioni
Via Isonzo 21/b - 00198 Roma
Tel. 06.69644111 Fax 06.69644926

Ministro dello Sviluppo Economico
Via Vittorio Veneto 33 - 00187 Roma
Tel. 06.42043.4000 Fax 06.4788.7770

Un cordiale saluto e buon mese di agosto a tutti.

Glenn Hauser logs August 5-6, 2015


** BRAZIL. 11745 & 11815, Aug 6 at 0518, crackling spurs from 11780 RNA/RNB, the latter overcoming R. Brasil Central, which ought to be raising a stink about this, Goiás state government vs the Feds (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA [and non]. 7385, August 5 at 1329, Firegragon! musical jamming, fair signal mixed with Chinese, // 11785 at 1341 which is probably CNR1 jamming rather than the targets

13920, August 5 at 1355, CNR1 jammer, poor; no others found OOB 12-19 MHz (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA [non]. 1520, August 6 at 1233 UT, CRI English mixing with Radio Oklahoma Network via KOKC OKC; almost zero-beat. CRI relay being KYND Cypress TX (near Houston), 25 kW daytimer mostly aimed eastward but not protecting KOKC, so always a problem here around SR/SS, worsened by KOKC`s QRP (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NEW ZEALAND [non]. 11725, August 6 at 0517, no signal from RNZI: must be another Thursday maintenance break. R. Australia is the SSOB on both 15240, 17840-with squeal (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PAPUA NEW GUINEA. 3275 & 3365, August 6 at 1207, JBA carriers matching NBC station activity; and another about 3229 from who knows what (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SOLOMON ISLANDS. 5020, Aug 6 at 1158, strident preacher with closing devotional on SIBC, which is totally Christian, violating Separation of Church and State; 1200 YL with SIBC sign-off mentioning one MW and two SW frequencies; 1201 NA; 1202 switch to rock music, but cut off the air in less than a minute by 1203*. I suppose that was a bit of Wantok FM, which they occasionally keep relaying all-night, but not lately. All the while with lots of splash from 5025 R. Rebelde, Cuba, especially during music. That is only going to worsen into fall and winter (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SOUTH AFRICA. 7285, Aug 6 at 0522, all-English interview by R. Sonder Grense YL, with a diplomat, who turns out to be the ambassador from Japan, on the Hiroshima 70th anniversary; guess there aren`t too many Afrikaans-speaking Japanese; 0526 back to Afrikaans, fair signal (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1784 monitoring: confirmed Wednesday August 5 at 1315 on WRMI 9955, sufficient, no jamming. NOT confirmed Wed Aug 5 at 2100 on WBCQ: webcast down and no carrier detectable on 7490 by 2125; total power failure? However, 7490 is back on by 2300 for `The Next Chapter`, one of the more unusual and thought-provoking shows on SW.

WORLD OF RADIO 1785 monitoring: confirmed first SW broadcast, 1130 Thursday August 6 on WRMI 9955, sufficient at 1153 with no jamming. Next:
2100 UT Thursday WRMI 7570
2130 UT Friday WRMI 15770
2130 UT Friday WRMI 7570
2330 UT Friday WRMI 5850 [NEW]
0630 UT Saturday HLR 7265-CUSB
1430 UT Saturday HLR 7265-CUSB
1930vUT Saturday WA0RCR 1860-AM

1315 UT Wednesday WRMI 9955
1430 UT Wednesday HLR 7265-CUSB
2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v

Note the NEW time for WOR, Friday at 2330 on 5850. Contrary to Ivo who says 355 degrees, based on HFCC? per WRMI website, this is on 315 degree antenna, i.e. due northwest across North America. Altho Okeechobee sunset is currently not until a few minutes after 0000 UT, I could hear 5850 poorly August 5 at 2300 check with preacher; while I couldn`t hear 5950 at same time toward Cuba which is carrying the new AWR program, but maybe masked by local device blob (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5830, August 6 at 0528, as I tune across WTWW-1, Pastor Pete Peters thinks he`s on 5070, since as a dead person, he can`t know that he would move from WWCR to WTWW long after this was recorded (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1190, August 5 at 0600 UT, KQQZ DeSoto MO daytimer is again running at night with presumed 10 kW aimed to the southwest. Apparently station owner thinx it`s more important to keep attacking  the ``corrupt`` Democratic political establishment in St. Clair county IL (Belleville, etc.) than to obey federal rules. Bob Romanik, ``The Grim Reaper of Radio`` is closing his ``radical`` rantshow with thunder SFX, calling his political enemies SOBs, bastards. 0604 UT ``They`re coming to take me away, ha ha``; Jekyll/Hyde ID as First Amendment Radio/Killer Kountry, and into C&W music.

St Louis` alternative newspaper, The Riverfront Times, has run some articles on Romanik, quite a character, such as this one from a triyear ago:
It seems as an ex-con, convicted felon, he can`t own radio stations so technically members of his family own them.

1190, August 6 at 0534 UT, KQQZ daytimer is still running illegally in the nightmiddle, adstring including, motorcycles, Autozone for batteries, back to Bob Romanik, Grim Reaper of Radio, who is well experienced in law-breaking (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1785, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1460, August 6 at 1239 UT, Fort Worth ads with 817 area code, i.e. KCLE Burleson TX, addresses in Cleburne, ESPN for the market; with 11 kW still at SRS an hour after sunrise, no problem overcoming my nearest 1460 on groundwave, 500-watt KZUE El Reno OK, Spanish; in fact nothing at all heard from it (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1510, Aug 6 at 1236 UT, solo YL hymn loops ENE/WSW, with CCI soon losing out to ESPN from KCTE Independence MO. Most likely REL format is KMRF Marshfield MO, 5 kW daytimer, St Louis market; or maybe 250-watt daytimer KCTX Childress TX which per last year`s NRC AM Log is partly religious (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 4845, Aug 6 at 1204, JBA carrier, much weaker than 4835 Australia, now that WWCR has signed off 4840. NO broadcasters except Brasil are listed on 4845, certainly not at this hour; maybe an Asian --- Indians can be off-frequency unpredictably. Or a ute --- Note: short for ``utility`` and should not be capitalized as it is not an initialism! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Glenn Hauser logs August 3-4-5, 2015


** ARGENTINA. 11710.65, Aug 5 at 0144, RAE poor with Japanese intonation, lite crackling centered circa 11714 from RNA 11780 spur (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BRAZIL. 11814, August 3 at 0516, the spurcrap out of 11780 RNA/RNB has developed a new sound, in addition to the ``crackle``: now there is also more readable modulation/squealing at peaks; atop 11815 RBC, and same appearing circa 11746, 11712, and barely 11678, i.e. ~34 kHz intervals. 

11813, August 4 at 0142, same enhanced spursound allows closer estimation of center frequency, way over 11825 RBC carrier; also circa 11747, and litely circa 11714 vs ARGENTINA, q.v., ~33 kHz intervals (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 17730, August 4 at 2011 check, no signal from RHC in Portuguese, which is currently scheduled 1930-2300, but no English. When on, one of the few big signals on 16m (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** EGYPT. 12070, August 5 at 0140, R. Cairo, Spanish is S9, but totally dead air.

11935, August 5 at 0140, R. Cairo is S9+25 here, suptorted to JBM presumed Spanish

9315, August 5 at 0140, R. Cairo, S9+20 Spanish, but open carrier/dead air (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GREECE. 9935, August 5 at 0139, VOG with usual big whinebuzz atop the music it`s trying to modulate, successfully on 9420 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 1210, August 3 at 0606 UT, KGYN Guymon is inbooming, VG with weather and ID, country music. Must not be on night pattern, supposed to null toward Cleveland; also noticed this the night before.

Make that null toward Philadelphia! (However, KGYN was originally a daytimer on 1220 until it made the Big Time in the clear-channel breakup.) Same VG signal with C&W music almost 24 hours later, August 4 at 0531 check (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 1680, went out listening for the Talking House in NE Enid afternoon of August 4, but no signal where I was hearing it a few days ago. Realtor never replied to my webform inquiry about its address, which may have served instead to remind him to turn it off; as previously these things were forgotten, left running after property was no longer on the market (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. RF 29, August 4 at 0050 UT, KTUZ is OFF, so no Telemundo on virtual 30, no Estrella on virtual 48, and no Univisión on virtual 36; but they are all back by 0104. In case anyone was fooled that these are not really out of a single Tyler Media transmitter licensed to Shawnee (hardly Hispanic), this joint outage might have unfooled them. 

BTW, 48-1 PSIP ID is KUOK-CD, but on-screen IDs are quite different as KOCY 48.1 Oklahoma City. Estrella specializes in busty girls jumping around and rather graphic virility-enhancement ads, more so than you see on Anglo TV (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SRI LANKA. 11905, August 3 at 0115 [not 0116 typo in original report], SLBC prélude is underway at poor S3-4 level with flutter, and 2+1 mistimesignal ending at 0115:17 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5830 & 9475, August 4 at 1251, no signal on either WTWW-1 frequency; yet propagation from TN is VG for neighbors on 9980, 9370.

BTW, Mark Sills heard Ted Randall attacking me on the air after coming back from another outage which I missed. Hey Ted, I`m merely the messenger. You screw up, on a Worldwide broadcast, can`t expect it to go unnoticed. At least you`re no Voice of Greece or Radio Cairo, which also get noticed. Anomalies are newsworthy, ordinary operations not so much (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1190, August 4 at 0540 UT, rather rude political screed about a candidate nicknamed ``blow-job``, loops ENE/WSW, but it`s local mentioning Cahokia, i.e. IL side of St Louis. VG signal at first, so suspect day facility of KQQZ, COL DeSoto MO, but address in Belleville IL (and CP to be Fairview Heights IL) --- of course it must be, 10 kW day, direxional toward southwest, 22 watts night! In the ``hot talk`` aspect of its Jekyll/Hyde personality (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Euro Radio 6205 update

An update has been posted on Facebook - "There has been a delay in our commencment (sic)  of broadcasting due to the fact that the company (in Greece)providing some of our transmitter equipment going out of business. We are having the equipment custom built by another company and will be on as soon as posible (sic)."

G.A.B. (Gruppo Ascolto Bergamasco) amarcord

Girovagando in rete ho trovato questo link dove viene ricordato il famoso G.A.B. (Gruppo Ascolto Bergamasco) che fu fondato dal mitico Pierino Cacciamatta, che io ebbi la fortuna di conoscere ed apprezzare, per la sua caparbietà nel divulgare e coinvolgere (a quel tempo) noi giovani appassionati di radioascolto.
Un plauso a Luca (che non so chi sia) per l'idea nel ricordare questo storico gruppo.

Monitoring Radio Cairo webcasts


preliminary results of a monitoring project concerning http://www.egradio.eg

The official web site of ERTU also provides audio streams of Arabic and foreign language programmes. Three of them, named Persian, Swahili and English, seem to promise streams in those languages but it is more complicated.

1. External Services in English and other languages
http://www.egradio.eg/radio.php?PubPnt=English&ChnName=13 (English) did not carry any signal at any time checked, not even the 1 kHz test tone.

(Swahili) and
(Persian) seem to be in parallel and carry a number of foreign language services, including English at 0200-0330 and 1215-1330. KiSwahili is carried 0400-0600 and 1600-1800, Persian at 1330-1530. Exact times for Hausa (1800-[2100]), Portuguese ([2215-]-2330) and Arabic (2330-) are yet to be established. In between some broadcasts and especially the hours until noon UTC you will only hear a 1 kHz test tone.

2. Domestic Services in English, French and other languages
Domestic programmes in English (but including a BBC News Hour) and French are found at 
 
While on 3 August much of the chat in both languages was not political, there was a programme in English taking telephone calls on topics brought up by the moderator. There was some controversial comment on the recent political history of Egypt, that the moderator tried to calm down, while comments on the destitute situation of the Egyptian education systems went out uninterrupted.

On 3 August the BBC Newshour had a very critical report on the Egyptian Government’s crack down on suspected dissidents, but the programme was not interrupted. 

The lyrics of some of the English songs were very explicit, some thing you would not expect on a state broadcaster of a state fighting against Muslim extremism. While the West seems to think of itself as „developed world“, from the viewpoint of its critics it is not „civilised“. It is with great interest that I heard a new expression for the West used in a Buddhist talk: „advantaged world“.

European languages are also heard at 

Taken the broadcasts of 3 August, the German domestic programme found here at 1200-1300 and the German shortwave programme at 1900-2000 on 9665 kHz are produced independently although the domestic programme could have been used as external service (Dr. Hansjoerg Biener, Germany, August 4, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Highlights of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity 27 July - 02 August 2015

Solar activity was dominated by B-class flare activity (very low
levels) throughout the majority of the summary period, however,
Region 2390 (S17, L=199, class/area=Dai/170 on 27 Jul) produced a
single C1 flare (low levels) at 01/2005 UTC, which was the largest
event of the period. No Earth-directed coronal mass ejections (CMEs)
were observed during the summary period.

No proton events were observed at geosynchronous orbit.

The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit was at
normal levels on 31 Aug with moderate levels observed throughout the
remainder of the summary period.

Geomagnetic field activity reached active levels on 27, 30-31 Jul
and 02 Aug in response to an enhanced solar wind environment caused
by the influence of multiple weak coronal hole high speed streams
(CH HSSs). Geomagnetic field activity remained at quiet to unsettled
levels throughout the remainder of the summary period.

FORECAST OF SOLAR AND GEOMAGNETIC ACTIVITY 03 AUGUST - 29 AUGUST 2015

Solar activity is expected to be at very low (B-class flare
activity) to low levels (C-class flare activity) throughout the
outlook period.

No proton events are expected at geosynchronous orbit.

The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit is
expected to be at moderate levels on 07-08, 17-21, 23, and 26-29 Aug
in response to enhanced geomagnetic field activity cause by the
influence of multiple recurrent coronal hole high speed streams (CH
HSSs). High electron flux levels are expected for the remainder of
the outlook period.

Geomagnetic field activity is expected to reach G1 (Minor)
geomagnetic storm levels on 28 Aug with active levels expected on
06-07, 17, 20, 26-27, and 29 Aug, all due to the influence of
multiple recurrent CH HSSs. The geomagnetic field is expected to be
at quiet to unsettled levels throughout the remainder of the outlook
period.

DXPedition July 29-31, 2015

I spent a few days with my fellow Dx-er Georgi (LZ2GPB) in the remote village of Patreshko, located in a mountainous region in Central Bulgaria. We did not have any low-band antennas ready yet but we hang up a single Inverted V dipole antenna for every broadcast band between 31 and 13 meters. We did record a few videos and you may find them below. More to come in our forthcoming DXPedition at the end of August when we will take advantage of full range of antennas, covering longwave up to 30MHz.
