** BAHAMAS [non]. 1540, Sept 2 at 0520 UT, try to hear ZNS which is reported still on air from Nassau, outside the hurricane, and which should be on emergency non-direxional antenna making it more audible in USA --- but no trace of it vs two Spanish stations, likely Texans, and English, KXEL IA, etc. The only other Bahamian MW is 810 ZNS-3 in Freeport, now listed as gospel format so not normally relaying Nassau; rather dedicated to praying away Dorian? cursory check there not expecting to hear it even if not yet blown off (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 11760, Sept 1 at 2134, RHC is dead air; 11850 just barely modulated, 9640 undermodulated. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 9640, Sunday September 1 at 2253, RHC `En Contacto`, Arnie with ham news, citing a postal address in Matanzas -- pen pal? 2253 Marta introduces a fibre-optic connexion --- big deal! --- to Arnie for propagation info, but he`s soon mumbling something about Zacatecas, QSL on-the-air? 2257 outro (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 6100, UT Monday September 2 at 0510, RHC English starting `DXers Unlimited`, initially about Dorian which is totally missing Cuba, but Arnie recalls previous storms and ham activity. This frequency barely strong enough vs HLNL, not 6165 or 6000; normally strongest would be 5040 but it seems still to be in wrong language,  Spanish. DXUL upwraps already at 0518. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** INTERNATIONAL WATERS [and non]. Further chex for the Hurricane Watch Net finally get something, Sept 2 at 2137: 14325-USB, reading a notice in Spanish with rainfall predixions in pulgadas, VP fading out and in.

7268-LSB, also VP, in English at 2138 Sept 2 reading a warning. Constant monitoring might turn up real-time reports from places being hit? 

Dino Bloise, FL, reported early UT Sept 2: ``Confirmed. The Net is Active on 7268 LSB, 0015 UT operated by AC0ML`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 1490, Sept 1 at 1434 UT check, KMFS Guthrie is *still* open carrier/dead air. Ditto at 2248 UT Sept 1 and 1753 UT Sept 2 (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. RF 17 DTV, Sept 2 at 1400 UT, after a week of total breakup, trying to cram multiple satellite channels, K17JN-D Enid has been fixed but still anomalous. Now both the STBox and the Sanyo DTV get the same subchannels, no longer the extra ones up to -202.

This is obviously still our local K17JN-D satellator from same site just west of Enid, N of Chestnut Ave, W of Boomer and E of St Hwy 152. 

But now it`s identifying as KCYH-LD!!! and remapping to ch 41!!! That`s really the Clarion Broadcasting Group parent station in Ardmore at the other side of Oklahoma. FCC TV Query shows it on RF 34, but a CP for 41, and yes, that CP is still at G.C. for Ardmore, not Enid; and FCC still lists K17JN-D with its near-Enid G.C. 

When tuned directly to 41-2 and 41-4, the STB shows no signal on RF 34, but that may be saved from some DX long ago.

Here`s the lineup now, not breaking up at all:

41-1, KCYH-LD, 3ABN bug LR

41-2, [blank]

41-3, AmFacts, AFTV bug LR with Unsupported Audio Codec on the Sanyo

RRI also plans to close down shortwave!!! Here`s translation of the union`s objexion, from the press agency, originally via Roberto Scaglione, bclnews.it:

DO NOT DESTROY RADIO ROMANIA INTERNATIONAL!

The Romanian Syndicate of Journalists MediaSind, through the Radio Romania Branch, expresses its concern at the intention of the SRR president-general director, Georgică Severin, to suspend the shortwave broadcast of the Radio Romania International station.

Due to the superficiality with which the responsible factors of the institution treated the problem of the allocated budget, the Romanian Broadcasting Society lost, at the last rectification, 10 million lei, an amount without which the good functioning of the company cannot be ensured.

In order to cover this consistent deficit, according to some public statements of the President - General Manager, the expenses with the shortwave transmitters owned by Radiocom, which broadcasts Radio Romania International (RRI) programs in 13 languages, would be cut. dialects.

The 'solution' to closing the shortwave emission, even if it is the most handy, having immediate effect, is a totally wrong one. Indeed, as hypocritically motivated by the Georgica Severin decision, these transmitters are not useful in the country, with the expansion of the FM network.

The gravity of the decision of the Radio management is, however, a huge one, undermining even the national interest, with which even Georgică Severin has no right to play. Let us not forget that Romania has the second diaspora in the world, as a percentage of the population, after Syria. From the recent estimates of the Ministry for Romanians Everywhere, around the country live about 9.7 million countrymen whom we have to treat as Romanians with full rights, who have the right to information, including by Radio Romania International.

The head of the SRR, Georgică Severin, had to make energetic and repeated requests from the Government in order to obtain sufficient funds for the good functioning of the institution, including for the antennas, taking into account the future presidential elections of 2019 and parliamentary from 2020. Why Is the main means of transmitting messages to Romanians abroad exactly during this pre-election period being abolished? Should we consider this gesture merely as a sign of disrespecting the diaspora?

On the other hand, it should be noted that RRI issues programs for the

 Aromanian communities in the world, as well as for foreigners, in general, interested in Romania and the geographical area in which we are, RRI being thus an efficient polyglot software soft diplomacy tool. .

Let us not forget then that the shortwave broadcast has a strategic character, because, in case of necessity, of disasters, of calamities, but also of suspension, by hostile decisions of Romania, of the Internet, the Romanian state can communicate with the Romanians from abroad and with the world at large. As it is known, the Internet is extremely vulnerable to political decisions. Also, in the case of catastrophic floods, earthquakes, conflicts, short waves remain the only reliable way to communicate with the world.

Therefore, the idea of ​​stopping the shortwave broadcast, coupled with another simplistic idea that RRI will successfully broadcast on the Internet, can produce serious effects, jeopardizing Romania's national security.

Exiting the Internet only means, in fact, closing the RRI station, which is in contravention of Law 41. According to art. 1 of the law, SRR makes programs for abroad, not online content; broadcast means radio broadcast, not online!

The exit of the RRI from the shortwave frequencies (this is a heritage of about 7,000 frequencies that are traded biannually by international broadcasters) will result in the loss of frequencies in favor of other countries. At the same time, Radiocom stations in Ţigăneşti, Săftica and Galbeni, where the 5 stations used for RRI are located, will be closed and Radiocom employees will be relocated or even fired. And as according to a harmful Romanian tradition, any provisional decision becomes final, it is hard to believe that it will return to the previous situation, to the issuance on short waves, even if the Government would allocate the necessary funds.

Closing the shortwave transmitters, without offering other means of transmission in exchange, would practically equate to the disappearance of the station; radio means broadcast on radio waves, analog or digital; a station on the Internet is no longer radio, it's just a multimedia product.

The next logical step, after a possible shutdown of the shortwave emission at RRI, will be the personnel restructuring. See the unhappy experience with Radio3Net station, which is only online and experimentally on DAB, in Bucharest, which has under-sized staff, even under the conditions of online production.

We consider that giving up the short wave, in whole or in part, is not a decision that falls within the competence of a president-general director because it concerns Romania's strategic interests. In this situation, the CSAT opinion should be requested and, in the Parliament, the Law on the organization and functioning of the SRR should be changed. Or, Georgică Severin is far from having the agreement of these institutions.

The role of RRI has been and is very important: promoting the country abroad and spreading Romania's opinions worldwide. By giving up any transmitter, whether from long, short or medium waves, the main object of activity of the SRR is affected, which is the realization and dissemination of programs (according to art. 15 of law 41).

Taking into account the serious situation that could arise as a result of the decision of the head of SRR, MediaSind Radio Romania requests the Parliament of Romania to intervene in an emergency regime to stop the destruction of the Radio Romania International station.

Highlights of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity
26 August - 01 September 2019

Solar activity was at very low levels. New Region 2748 (N14, L=205,
class/area Bxo/010 on 01 Sep) emerged on the disk, but remained
quiet and stable. No Earth-directed CMEs were observed.

No proton events were observed at geosynchronous orbit.

The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit was at
moderate levels on 26 Aug, normal levels on 27-30 Aug, high levels
on 31 Aug and very high levels on 01 Sep. Electron flux reached a
maximum of 53,007 pfu at 01/2015 UTC.

Geomagnetic field activity ranged from quiet to unsettled levels on
26-27 Aug due to influence from a weak, negative polarity CH HSS.
Quiet conditions persisted from late on 27 Aug through midday on 30
Aug. From midday on 30 Aug through 01 Sep, field activity increased
to unsettled to G1 (minor) and G2 (moderate) levels as Earth came
under the influence of a large, recurrent positive polarity CH HSS.
30 Aug saw a SSBC from a negative to a positive sector in advance of
a CIR, all preceding the CH HSS. 31 Aug and 01 Sep observed active
to G1 and G2 storm conditions. Wind speeds averaged about 750 km/s
during this time frame with a peak of 835 km/s observed early on 01
Sep.

438 listener report sfor June 30 Alexanderson Day

Alexanderson Alternator station SAQ says it received 438 listener reports — 'an incredible amount' — for its June 30 Alexanderson Day transmissions from Sweden including 8 'super' DX reports, five from the USA and three from Canada.

The historic electro-mechanical transmitter, which dates back to the 1920s, is fired up periodically throughout the year on 17.2 kHz.

“We are very thankful for all your enthusiastic and positive feedback, with images, recordings, videos, and even Morse ink writer strips,” SAQ said.

The station is a World Heritage Site in Grimeton, Sweden and SAQ’s June 30 message commemorated the 100th anniversary of the first east-to-west transatlantic voice transmission from the Marconi station in Ireland to Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia.

SAQ has posted an interactive map showing the locations of all received listener reports from recent transmissions and video of the Alexanderson Day transmission event has been posted to its YouTube channel. (southgatearc.org)

FRS-Holland celebrates its 39th Anniversary

Following our Summer evening broadcast late July, FRS-Holland will carry out its traditional late August Summer evening broadcast next Sunday September 1st.  

It will be the celebration of our 39th anniversary knowing FRS officially started its broadcasting life on Sunday August 31st 1980. In the past years various interesting themes were presented in our August broadcast: Made in Holland, progressive rock from Dutch bands, the 1967 Summer, Music & Radio Stories, music related to the 'Sea' topic, RNI Musical Memories etc. Also this time we offer a varied & interesting thematic programme offer! Just see for yourself and have a look at our schedule below....

Next Sunday FRS commences transmission at 17:52 UTC / 19:52 CEST; close down will be at approx. 21:05 UTC / 23:05 CEST. 

We realize that close down is late but we feel this is the best option. 

Frequencies will be good old 7700//5810 kHz.

Also confirmed UT Saturday August 31 at 0130 on WRMI 7780, S9+10/20 including high line noise level which built up again quickly after our heavy rainfall temporarily quelled it Friday morning. 

Also confirmed Sat Aug 31 at 1448 the 1430 on Hamburger Lokalradio, 9485-CUSB, not on the UTwente SDR, but barely audible on the OH5AE SDR vs huge splash from 9490 Romania.

Also confirmed Sat Aug 31 at 2100 on WRMI 9955 after IS & ID loop.

That stopped by 2100:00, but WOR JIP a sesquisecond later at 2100:01.5 when I am already at ``--- 1997``, as the first eight words already started playing out several seconds earlier before the unsynchronized transmitter picked up the feed. I wonder if this happpen to other 2100 programs? Next:

Earlier WRMI was bracing to close down all transmitters if winds were high enough to cause antenna arcing; this now seems less likely, but Okee might still be on the edge of the projected path of Hurricane Dorian. They hoped to keep the `test` frequency of 5800 on the air without explaining how. 

No further FB notices by end of August, but here is one reply earlier: ``Jorge Garzón Gutiérrez --- ¿Precisan monitorizar la fx de 5800 para comunicar si hay algún fallo o comprobar la calidad? Lo podemos comunicar desde el norte de España. Mucha precaución y coraje!!!``

Also for the record, a phone number change: ``August 29 at 2:51 PM · WRMI Audio by Phone --- The telephone number to hear our live stream on 9955 kHz has recently changed. The new number is +1-641-741-1762. We will try to update on online and on-air announcements as soon as possible`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. (7490), UT Sat Aug 31 from 0000, AAAWWW on WBCQ, this time more talk about radio and tech than politix, so listen some more. At 0023 he says that the Super-Station will be testing ``this`` week on three new frequencies, 12120, 15705 and 17735 at various times, probably staring at 50 kW level, then 100, 150, 200, 250, 500, 600. 

(This corresponds to the latest HFCC registration as 500 kW, Arabic only, 60 degrees only --- so who needs a rotatable antenna? from 0900 on 15705, 1200 on 17735, and 2000-0857 on 12120 --- oblivious of the continuous RTTY on 12120 who won`t be too happy about being blasted by 500 kW of broadcast RF. Per UDXF Logs it`s the US Navy`s ubiquitous NAU in Isabela, Puerto Rico).

So WBCQ must have got the needed documentation on how to tune up on other frequencies than 9330. But are there any ex-Ampegon engineers back at WBCQ by now?

9330, BTW is on the air now and close to 9330.0, but NOT the SS. At 0055 I check all five frequencies despite the HLNL: 9330.0 S9 and almost as good as 7490.1 at S9+10; 6160.1 at S9+10; 5130.37 at S9+20, but 7, 6 and 5 readings include the HLNL. 3264.9 is as always JBA. 

As  usual he gets to E-mail near the end of the hour, says there isn`t much this week; but somehow keeps going way over until 0118, cut to ``He Is Coming Again`` hymn, except on 5 MHz which has changed to unreadable talk something. Here`s John Carver`s version:

``Tonight's show started a few seconds early on 7490. Allan and Angela in the studio this evening. Opening comments about Florida and the hurricane. First phone call at 0012 from Freddie. Superstation is down for now because of antenna work so the 9330 broadcast this evening is from a classic transmitter. It was also announced that the 6160 transmitter had been retubed at a cost of thousands of dollars. Special fall rates for 6160 of thirty-five dollars per hour. Allan said time on the transmitter is open except for AAWWW slot. He also announced that the 6160 transmitter was running compatible side band. 

It was also mentioned that soon there would be open time on 3265 for sale. In response to Freddie he said that the plenum had not been replaced as of yet so 3265 was still running on backup transmitter. Then Allan said to watch his twitter feed next week as testing would resume on the superstation. They would be trying 12120, 15705 and 17735.

Next phone call at 0027 with caller singing the praises of a discontinued Grundig receiver. Angela then had a question about an article she'd read about 5G dumbphones and increased radiation and health risks. Allan went into a long discussion about the different types of radiation, effects of microwaves, amount of radiation from dumbphones from 1G to 5G. Phone call from Ramsey at 0041 continues discussion of harm of RFI, EMI etc. Phone call at 0049 on the other phone while Ramsey was still on the air. Finished the call with Ramsey and then Pirate Joe gave a signal report and then continued the discussion of radiation from devices.

Reading of emails at 0059 and closing prayer at 0109. Program was off the air at 0118 and 7490 went into what was assumed to be Brother Stair. John, Mid-North Indiana`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1090, Aug 31 at 0403 UT, dead air loops E/W, no doubt KAAY Little Rock tho some understation talk is JBA. By 0405 KAAY revives with country hymn (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
