Highlights of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity 26 March - 01 April 2018

Solar activity was mostly at very low levels with the exception of
30 Mar when an isolated C4/Sf flare was observed at 30/0804 UTC from
Region 2703 (S08, L=193, class/area Axx/010 on 31 Mar). Associated
with the flare was a Type II radio sweep (805 km/s) and a coronal
mass ejection (CME) off the east limb first observed at 30/0840 UTC
in SOHO/LASCO C2 imagery. No Earth-directed CMEs were observed
during the period.

No proton events were observed at geosynchronous orbit.

The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit reached
high levels throughout the period with a maximum flux of 43,750 pfu
observed at 28/2045 UTC.

Geomagnetic field activity began the period under continued effects
from a negative polarity coronal hole high speed stream (CH HSS).
Solar wind speed ranged from approximately 450-550 km/s on 26-27 Mar
with total field between 2-8 nT. By 28-29 Mar, solar wind speeds
slowly returned to nominal levels while a solar sector boundary
crossing was observed around 29/0710 UTC into a positive sector.
Solar wind speed showed a slight increase in speed to 380-480 km/s
from 30 Mar-01 Apr with total field variable between 2-9 nT
suggesting possible intermittent connections with a northern polar
extension positive polarity CH HSS. The geomagnetic field was mostly
quiet with periods of unsettled activity observed on 26-27 Mar and
again on 31 Mar.

FORECAST OF SOLAR AND GEOMAGNETIC ACTIVITY 02 APRIL - 28 APRIL 2018

Solar activity is expected to be at very low levels with a slight
chance for a C-class flare from 02-10 Apr due to potential further
activity from Region 2703. Very low levels are expected through the
rest of the 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 to high levels on 02-04 and 12-28 Apr due
to CH HSS influence.

Geomagnetic field activity is expected to be at unsettled to active
levels on 05-07, 10-16, 18-23 Apr with G1 (Minor) storm levels
likely on 12 Apr due to recurrent CH HSS activity.

India to employ long wave radio technology

Two towers, about three times the height of the Qutab Minar, are likely to be erected at as-yet-undecided locations in the country for disseminating Indian Standard Time. 

The National Physical Laboratory, an organisation charged with ensuring that Indian time stays accurate, has signed an agreement with IFR Information Dissemination Services (IFR) Ltd., which will set up the towers and employ long wave radio (LWR) technology to purvey this time to a range of users, from phone companies to railway stations. Customers will need a microchip that can be embedded into everything, from wall-clocks to servers. 

“Long range radiowaves from the towers can be reliably transmitted even during major disasters. Other than time, information such as a tsunami warning or weather warnings can also be sent,” Pawan Kumar Kasera, director, IFR, said at a press conference. IFR is affiliated to the Germany-based EFR GmbH, which is in the business of providing similar services in Germany. 

The company now requires a plethora of permissions from other government departments to host these towers, each with a range of 1,000 km, and an investment of about Rs. 600 crore, which it will raise privately. 

The NPL would help IFR keep their caesium clocks (located in the tower) calibrated but wouldn’t be involved in setting up the infrastructure related to time dissemination. Last year, the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research-body had tied up with the Indian Space Research Organisation to provide time-related services for its satellites. “The advantage of LWR is that the waves travel close to the ground and so can reach out to far-flung locations, even to submarines. We’d advertised through newspapers asking private players to help us disseminate NPL-time to the public. Five companies approached us and we’ve selected IFR,” Dinesh Aswal, director, NPL, told The Hindu .

Radio Thailand listening project

** THAILAND. Observations from a listening project on Radio Thailand

In addition to shortwave, Radio Thailand's overseas service is also broadcast online: 

http://www.hsk9.org 

is not very extensive. Essentially, it provides access to three internet streams: the foreign service (*/worldservice.html) and two domestic feeds from 88.0 MHz (English */fm88.html) and 92.5 MHz (Thai */fm925.html). A sound archive got stuck in the beginning.

Broadcasting schedules for the shortwave and the Internet are not provided on the web site. This is especially noticeable because years ago there was a short wave schedule under the defunct URL 

http://www.hsk9.com/Schedule.html

The time announcements within the programmes and the announcements of the continuity do not help either. This is particularly obvious in the context of the English-language programmes. Some broadcasts are "live"; others are not, although this is stated in the programme.  Frequency announcements for the short wave are missing anyway. How to gain or retain a listener base without receiving base information remains the secret of Radio Thailand and other foreign services where you can observe the same.

The online broadcasts largely follow the already known shortwave schedule. The exception to the rule is at 05.00 h UTC. The internet signal has a noticeable delay compared to the direct broadcast. On the internet stream, the gaps between the short wave broadcasts are filled with the well known interval signal of gong chimes and the station announcement in English. Occasionally, the medium wave 918 kHz and / or 88 MHz and other FM frequencies are announced in the English-language broadcasts. Radio Thailand should consider more relays from these programme sources to close the gaps. Even a music stream with hourly news would be more welcome than hours of a non stop interval signal.

Radio Thailand has the following online and short wave schedule:

00.00: also on 15590 kHz (250 kW, 6 °) for North America: English ("morning news hour" in parallel to http://www.hsk9.org/fm88.html). 00:30 (38 °) English. 01:00 Thai. 02:00 (6 °) English (Material from the "morning news hour"). 02:30 Thai

03:30: Interval signal

05:00 (only online!): English ("midday news hour" in parallel to http://www.hsk9.org/fm88.html)

05:30 (!): also on 17640 kHz (250 kW, 324 °) for Europe / Africa: English

06:00: Interval signal

10:00: also on 17805 kHz (250 kW, 305 °) for Asia: Thai

11:00: also on 5875 kHz (250 kW, 144 °) for Southeast Asia: Bahasa Malaysia. 11:15 Mandarin Chinese. 11:30 (30 °) Japanese. 11:45 (284 °) German

12:00: also on 9390 kHz (250 kW, 154 °) for Asia: Bahasa Malaysia. 12:15 -. 12:30 (132 °) English. 13:00 (54 °) Japanese. 13:15 (30 °) Mandarin Chinese. 13:30 (54 °) Thai. 14:00 (132 °) English (material from the "morning news hour")

14:30: Interval signal

18:00: also on 9390 kHz (250 kW, 313 °) for Europe: Thai. 19:00 (321 °) English (material from the "morning news hour"). 20:00 German. 20:15 - 20:30 English. 20:45 (313 °) Thai

21:15-24:00: Interval signal

"Broadcasting from the Public Relations Department in Bangkok", "HSK 9 Radio Thailand's World Service" makes no secret that it is a government voice. In line with the slogan "trust in a government that cares - trust in Thailand", the English programmes carry a lot of public service announcements and praise for government’s successes. 

Reporters Without Borders ranks Thailand on place 142 out of 180 countries and territories studied: "Thailand is ruled by a military junta called the National Council for Peace and Order. Ubiquitous, all-powerful, and led by press freedom predator Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-o-cha, the Council keeps journalists and citizen-journalists under permanent surveillance, often summons them for questioning, and detains them arbitrarily. Any criticism of the junta is liable to lead to violent reprisals made possible by draconian legislation and a justice system that follows orders. The already feared Computer-Related Crime Act was reinforced in 2016, giving the authorities even more surveillance and censorship powers. King Rama IX’s death has not curtailed use of lèse-majesté charges under article 112 of the criminal code as a weapon of mass deterrence for journalists, bloggers, and online activists." 

https://rsf.org/en/thailand

Besides Thai, the English-language programmes play a special role because of their size. Obviously, they are not produced for a foreign audience in Asia, America or Europe. This is shown by the interspersed frequency information (FM, medium wave, but not short wave) and of course the advertising (disco, restaurant, airlines).

The local FM 88 station has three major English language news programs totaling 60 minutes (07:00, 12:00, 19:00 hours local time). However, the international broadcast schedule of 15 to 60 minutes broadcasts does not really match the "news hour" format. For example, the "midday news hour" is broadcast in full online, but only the insignificant second half with which nearly 25 minutes of public service announcements or self-praise from the government is broadcast on short wave. The main source for the other English slots is the "morning news hour".

The world and regional news leave you with the impression that you are well informed about the most important international events. One the other hand, it is difficult to judge how comprehensive or close to the real problems of Thailand the domestic coverage is. In light of this, the public service announcements, will also be seen as reflecting domestic affairs: [according to the government] successful peace talks in the south of the country, successes in the fight against rabies, calls for the registration of migrant workers, environmental protection spots. It is interesting that the registration of South East Asian migrant workers is also a result of EU pressure. On 28 March, there was a report on the visit of an EU delegation concerning this matter. It was not reported why the Europeans should have a say here. So, an "alternative" local view might be, that the West is once more interfering with foreign internal affairs.

Radio Thailand rightly relies on domestic productions for the entertaining moments. Most of the music elements are pop music, partly produced in a very western style (Dr Hansjoerg Biener, 1 April 2018, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Media & Tech - 01/04/2018

Glenn Hauser logs March 31-April 1, 2018

** ALBANIA [non]. 9395, April 1 at 0201, R. Tirana via WRMI is VG tonight, but still in Italiano instead of Inglese. Maybe somebody didn`t look beyond the first letter when programming this? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 15439 approx., April 1 at 1323, RHC FM spurblobs are back! No fooling. These had been suppressed for a fortnight since last heard March 15 on daily chex. I *knew* that would not be a permanent fix. Out of 15370-AM transmitter; at approx. plus/minus 69 kHz intervals. 15439 and its match 15301 are clearly audible in FM mode, no noise. The next pair out, 15233 (vs RHC-AM 15230) and 15509, are almost as good. Also detectable, progressively weaker, circa: 15165, 15096, 15025, 14957; 15578, 15647, 15714, 15782. All of them are accompanied by the F# tone above middle C --- at the outer ranges, that`s the only tipoff that the spur is there. Fortunately 15439 is far enough away not to bother 15450 Turkey in English. And 15509 is far enough away not to bother 15520 REE in Spanish from 1400. Pure luck, of course.

By 1337, `En Contacto` is starting late. Will Arnie ever say a word about RHC`s galaxy of spurs and constant operational / technical foulups? Of course not! Even tho he would surely blame them on the Yanqui embargo/blockade. He has enumerated only 93 ways to enjoy radio, but tnx to RadioCuba, where something is always wrong, I have a ninety-fourth (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) 

** CUBA [and non]. 9580, April 1 at 0118, `Ritmo de China`, CRI in Spanish instead of English! April fool? CRI English relay is still nearby on 9570 via ALBANIA, or rather ``China Plus``. The dirty 9580 transmitter also emits extremely distorted spurblobs approx. plus / minus 17 kHz around 9563 & 9597. Partially readable if I switch to FM mode. Also traces of second-order blob at +34 = 9614, while if any at minus 34, 9536, blocked by another RHC fundamental on 9535. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA [and non]. 9490, April 1 at 0113, wall-of-noise jamming, with Spanish(?) talk JBA under, but a definite carrier. Nothing on 7350, despite registrations for RMI via Issoudun, FRANCE on the lower starting at 0200 toward Cuba. Evidently both time and frequency for Radio República are wrong, still on 9490 as in B-17 and A-17, and due to Yanqui-Cuban DST, starting at least an hour earlier at 0100 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NORTH AMERICA. UNIDENTIFIED pirate, 6905-AM, April 1 at 0050, very repetitive music loop, or is it SFX? Signal grows to S9+20/25. 0053 brief talkover in language? unseems English; no ToH ID or any further announcements until off abruptly at 0102*. (Meanwhile my streetlite has ignited at *0057 with an RF noise burst, prompted by cloudy sunset.) Numerous others logs of 6905, all unID:

https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,41449.0.html

and it came back on later:

https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,41457.0.html

I`m amazed at the musical knowledge of the HFU loggers; about all I would have recognized was Pinball Wizard, earlier (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PALAU. 9965, April 1 at 1400, no signal from T8WH/KHBN/LeSea, tho supposedly scheduled until 1430 as heard last weekend March 24-25, with signal so strong it could have been WHRI, and also a mixture of both? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PHILIPPINES. 9380, April 1 at 1403, Jesus-sermon in English S4-S6 with alternate/consecutive translation into something. That would be Chinese from FEBC, 100 kW, 345 degrees from Bocaue, scheduled 1000-1600. I first thought of AIR Aligarh, which is registered for Hindi at 0815-1200 & 1305-0040, 250 kW at 188 degrees. Are these two really time-sharing to avoid collisions?

EiBi A-18 also shows them overlapping:

``9380 0830-1200 IND AIR Vividh Bharati   HI SAs a

  9380 1000-1600 PHL FEBC Manila          M  FE  b

  9380 1320-0043 IND AIR National Channel HI SAs a``

And essentially same info in NDXC/Aoki. VU2JOS site not reachable now.

FEBC 9380 is ex-9430 in B-17, where there was no such conflict. Why did they move, and especially onto a well-established AIR frequency? However, I must say that I heard no sign of AIR QRM. One is aimed across India, the other into China from a much different angle (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** RWANDA [non]. 15420, March 31 at 1759, open carrier stops my memory scan on the BSR-1 caradio, 1800 African music, 1804 starts talking in presumed Kinyarwanda, mentions shortwave, but no ID heard. This is R. Itahuka, weekly hour via MADAGASCAR, which some reports still claim is in Kirundi, related language of the neighboring ex-Belgian colony. Not that I can tell the difference, but the default assumption should be Kinyarwanda, u.o.s. Recheck finds it cutting off at 1900:08* (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SLOVAKIA [non]. 9455, Sunday April 1 at 1404, R. Eslovaquia Internacional still in daily secret Spanish broadcast via WRMI. I had asked, why would they want a third morning broadcast? Answer probably: for the PDT zone, where it`s 7 am, while the others are really too early out there, if they are even propagating. I say secret because this doesn`t show on the WRMI skeds; I haven`t yet caught a schedule announcement, if any, so I seek the RSI Spanish page. It`s hard to find if you go to default English first, but finally:

http://esrsi.rtvs.sk/como-escucharnos

is quite outdated, with info as of 2015 and no mention of this broadcast, wrong times for some others. What do they know in Bratislava`s inverted pyramid? (Guillermo Glenn Hauser, Oclajoma, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SPAIN. 15520, Sunday April 1 at 1356, REE earworm IS, VG S9+10, by chance escaping the reactivated RHC spurfield above and below it; this frequency was missing yesterday. This early, 15520 is better than 17855 for North America; and no signal on 15390, the defective transmitter which on the weekend extensions is supposedly on 21620 before 1800, totally inaudible here. Neither HFCC nor Aoki/NDXC present accurate A-18 scheduling for NOBlejas.

EiBi skeds for A-18 are now available as of March 28:

http://eibispace.de/dx/freq-a18.txt

or by time:

http://eibispace.de/dx/bc-a18.txt

which is succinctly correct, but one or even two sometimes absent:

``1400 1800 SaSu  E   Radio Exterior España     S   

                                                    ME  15520n

                                                    WAf 15390n``

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SRI LANKA. 11905, April 1 at *0114:48 carrier on from SLBC, but no prélude or mis-timesignal audible before some talk from 0115:11; maybe there but just too weak (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1923 monitoring: confirmed Saturday March 31 at 2130 on WBCQ, 9330.479v-CUSB, fair (as measured a few minutes earlier during BS, but later back to 9330.3v or so). Also confirmed Sat Mar 31 at 2300 on WRMI 7780, fair. Also confirmed UT Sun April 1 at 0200 on WRMI 7780, good. Also confirmed on WA0RCR, 1860-AM, MO, UT Sunday April 1 at 0354 about 22 minutes in so started late circa 0332, as I was still hearing ham news at 0330.

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 3215, April 1 at 0046, WWRB with usual Saturday night pair of gospel-huxters, and splattering out plus/minus 20 kHz. Evidently off by 0059, as no 3185 or 3195 at 0107 check, once WWCR has overtaken 3215, which is splattering only plus/minus 10 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5085, UT Sunday April 1 at 0101, WTWW-2, ID and starting `Theater Organ in the Ozarx`, organ music until 0133. Meanwhile:

9475, April 1 at 0110, WTWW-1 big rough signal but undermodulated interview with someham on phone, not by Ted; rather than SFAW (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1140, April 1 at 0132, Newsradio 1140 WRVA ID, and ``now on 96.1 FM``. How now? I enter 96.1 and Richmond in the WTFDA FM Database search fields, to find only one, 50 kW WQLK in Richmond, Indiana. But then searching VA instead of Richmond, I find the itty-bitty they are really hyping, a 145-watt translator, W241AP, in Midlothian, a southwest-side suburb (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** UZBEKISTAN [and non]. 9955, April 1 at 1400, JBA music, as I tune in just after WRMI cuts off for its 7-hour daily break. HFCC shows AWR, 100 kW, 131 degrees via Tashkent at 1330-1400 in Hmn, Ind, Asm depending on day of week; so presumably that prolonged, as nothing else scheduled. Only one other 9955 in HFCC is T8WH Palau (``HBN``) at 1000-1100. The WRMI frequency skedgrid shows 9955 from *1000 on Sundays only, otherwise *1100; while the 9955 program schedule starts everyday at 1000 UT! with R. Praga M-F = L-V (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
