Glenn Hauser logs January 22-23, 2009

** ANGUILLA. The PMS station, a.k.a. Caribbean Beacon, but never giving any local IDs as such, continues to be irregular on SW. Jan 22 at 0626 check, not heard on 6090 where it normally inbooms; instead a couple weak signals SAHing, maybe including Nigeria. But it was back the next night (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** AUSTRALIA. RA, 6020, good signal during discussion of poetry, UT Fri Jan 23 at 1352, but chopped program off before it finished at 1358 for one minute of RA IS, and off at 1359* Grrrrrr!!!! Standard rant about RA among other stations chopping off programs before they finish. This was All in the Mind, which we are glad to see has survived the latest dumbing-down cuts at ABC Radio National, so we can still go back and get it via:
http://www.abc.net.au/rn/allinthemind/default.htm
Or did it? This and other recent shows turn out to be reruns from last year, like April; so are any new ones being produced? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. Late UT Jan 22 tuned around the RHC frequencies to see what SNAFUs I could report. Both colliders 11690 and 9600 were in middle of Spanish programming at 2314, on much earlier than claimed; 11690 quite strong, and DW Rwanda somewhat audible underneath; 9600 relatively weak and colliding with even weaker Vatican Radio IS, direct to Vietnam. At 2322 found the RHC IS on 6000, except the transmitter was cutting off and on every few seconds, never allowing a single iteration of the IS to play thru. A test? Still doing that at 2328.

By 2330 that was done and instead we heard R. Praga in Spanish as usual on 6000. RHC`s 9820 was not on the air at first check 2322, but it was with OC at 2327, NA at 2329 and opening just before 2330 introduced as a program about the new social security law in Cuba, but then immediately into a 5-heroes promo. Claimed also to be on 6000. 9820 was not // the RHC programming on 11690 and 9600. 9820 is designated as the Mesa Redonda (roundtable) show, but that was not mentioned (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. Rather surprised to hear Oprah on 9385, WWRB, Jan 22 at 1436, interviewing a Rev. Bacon who maintained that being gay is a gift from God. Is this really the Overcomer Ministry? Yes, // WINB 9265v as usual. Ahá, she is chopped off at 1440 so that Brother Scare can blast her and any such ideas as being Sodom-and-Gomorrah-ish, a major abomination, says the know-it-all-even-the-future who was jailed for heterosexual misdeeds (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. Not only does the jailed Tony Alámo continue broadcasting on R. Africa and WWCR, but also on WINB, as heard Jan 22 at 2316 tuneby 9265v, when he conveniently referred to himself in the third person, about visiting some guy running for president (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WRMI, 9955, Fri Jan 23 at 0600 with Frecuencia al Día DX program, starting off with the Univisión/Televisa story; no jamming audible for a change. This time is not on the latest publicity distributed by José Bueno, altho that has finally been updated.

It does appear on the latest WRMI sked revision dated Jan 17 at http://www.wrmi.net/program.php?id=94
for Friday 1 am, which is in EST, UT-5.

This schedule now has more detail of the DX and other program content in several time blox, but still not including M-F 1530-1700 UT (10:30 am - noon EST). On Fri Jan 23 I found Frecuencia al Día again, ending at 1700 on webcast. I have compiled all the times shown for the DX and some other programs in a separate item for next DXLD 9-007 (Glenn Hauser, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 6074, the one-minute V/CQ marker back in synch, starting just after the late timesignal finalizing the emissions of R. Rossii, 6075 until 1400 Jan 23. It was quite weak, and too much splash from CFRX to be certain the ID sent at the end of the message this time was 8GAL. Occasionally in the past a different tactical call has been sent tho probably from same transmitter whose exact location remains unknown, tho probably in eastern Russia. Only a few weeks ago one could hardly have imagined there would be enough signal from CFRX 6070 be a problem (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 11435.0, big open carrier with fading at 0555 Jan 23. Finally at 0603 a brief burst of some kind of digital data and back to OC; digital bursts again at 0607. At this time S America was inbooming on 25m, 11805 Chile, e.g.

A search of the 19,454 posts so far in the UDXF yg gets only one hit on this frequency: ``11435.0 --- : Enigma's S06 05:30 J3E/USB Russian Female voice call up adjiem sjet tri into repeated 5F msg ending 00000 (02/Jul/2008) (Peter Poelstra, The Netherlands, NRD 545 / ALA 1530 loop / HOKA code 300-32 / CWget / PC-HFDL)``

``adjiem`` must mean what in standard Russian would be `odin`, so was it some other Slavic language? Unseems likely what I heard, no voice, would be propagating from Europe, and this was full carrier (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

Donga Mantung Community Radio

Dal 2006 la Donga Mantung Community Radio (Dmcr) ha cambiato la vita di più di 600mila persone che vivono nella regione di Donga Mantung, in Camerun. "Prima che la radio aprisse, non sentivo neanche di essere camerunense perché non sapevo nulla di quanto accadeva nel mio paese", ha raccontato al Guardian un ascoltatore locale. L'area è povera, rurale e isolata. Le strade sono spesso impraticabili, non ci sono elettricità né telefoni e l'istruzione scolastica è carente. "Nel 2006 il consiglio locale ha aperto la stazione radio per fornire informazioni e favorire lo sviluppo sociale della popolazione", spiega il Guardian. "La Dmcr ha un palinsesto ben fornito di notizie, programmi di educazione sanitaria e musica. Trasmette in inglese e nei dialetti locali per raggiungere il maggior numero possibile di persone e diffonde informazioni sui programmi di vaccinazione, centri di trattamento gratuiti e opportunità di lavoro". La stazione radio è stata costruita dalla società londinese Radio Active che ne ha aperte altre anche in Nepal, Palestina, Honduras e Madagascar. "Nei posti in cui non ci sono strade, elettricità o telefoni, e dove il grado di alfabetizzazione è basso, la radio è il modo più economico e veloce per raggiungere le persone", spiega Max Graef, fondatore della società. Nella regione di Donga Mantung il successo della Dmcr ha dato il via a una rivoluzione mediatica. Il sindaco della città di Nkambe, da cui la radio trasmette, racconta che anche le regioni vicine cominciano ad attrezzarsi: "Presto avremo altre stazioni radio nella zona. Secondo me è un ottimo mezzo di informazione e istruzione per la nostra gente". (Internazionale.it)

Glenn Hauser logs January 19-21, 2009

** ANGUILLA. Caribbean Beacon missing again from 6090, Jan 21 at 0610 check; and also from 11775 at 1402 recheck. Shux, have to listen to WWCR to get my PMS/DGS fix. Can it be coincidental that the long-silent MW 1610 outlet was reported on the air again a few hours earlier, by Juan Gualda, FL, in ABDX? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. At 1405 UT Jan 20 on 15370 in Spanish, the confused RHC announcer said something about their providing live coverage of Pres. Obama`s inauguration today, on ``9826 in the 21 and 49 meter bands``. Didn`t catch the time but obviously starting well before 1700 UT B-hour. 9820 would be a good bet and maybe two others of their known frequencies on 6 and 13 MHz. I wonder if they will have a correspondent there or just pirate some TV coverage and voice-over it in Habana.

[But later:] No sign of 9820 or anything on 6, 9, 11 or 13 MHz bands as late as 1630, and I could not pull away from US TV coverage after that.

RHC running late for some reason, UT Wed Jan 21 at 0609 on 6000, just ending DXers Unlimited; as a 17-minute show, must have started around 0552 rather than 0535 (Glenn Hauser, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** INDONESIA. VOI, 9526, nothing much audible at first check 1335 Jan 21, nor during the 1400 hour, but at 1500 recheck it was in with pop vocal music; finally at 1504 YL opening English with perpetual mention of wrong frequency, 11785; and then cut off at 1505* as also per custom in this SNAFUed station (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. Off-again, on-again: KEOR, 1120, Catoosa/Sperry/Tulsa, was again being heard at 2150 UT Jan 20, with the same limited playlist of oldies; already losing out to KMOX, about 7 Hz away; pause at 2158 but no legal ID audible tho they have done so in the past. Around 2210 it was the whistling ``Westminster Cathedral`` (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WBOH, 5920, just open carrier with het caused by its being off-frequency, Jan 19 at 1405; 9370 WTJC was modulated. Same thing Jan 20 at 1338 check; was WBOH silent all that time? But Jan 21 at 0607, 5920 was hymning and preaching, het (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

Un radar hf italiano per studiare Marte

Grazie al blog di KE9V http://ke9v.net/ ho scoperto un'interessante progetto dell'Agenzia Spaziale Italia e dell'Alenia che stanno costruendo assieme un radar HF e un'antenna per 20 Mhz che verra' utilizzata dal prossimo Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter per "mappare" la superfice del pianeta Rosso. Il progetto si chiama SHARAD (Mars SHAllow RADar sounder) e trasmettera' un segnale "chirp" a 20 mhz con una larghezza di banda di 10 mhz e una potenza di 10 watt. L'antenna e' un dipolo di 10 metri.

IL CONSIGLIO D'EUROPA ALL'AZERBAIJAN: "RESTITUITE LE LICENZE ALLE RADIO STRANIERE"

Tra le emittenti messe tacere, la Bbc, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty e Voice of America. Il governo di Baku - ha ricordato il presidente della Assemblea Parlamentare del Consiglio d'Europa, Lluis Maria de Puig - aveva preso un impegno preciso sulla libertà di stampa prima di entrare a far parte del Consiglio e ora è chiamato a rispattarlo. «Riteniamo estremamente deprecabile che il Consiglio nazionale azero sulla radio e televisione abbia deciso recentemente di non rinnovar le licenze di diverse emittenti straniere». Così si è espresso venerdì 16 gennaio il presidente della Assemblea Parlamentare del Consiglio d'Europa, Lluis Maria de Puig, in merito alla decisione di Baku di non rinnovare, all'inizio del 2009, le licenze di diverse radio straniere tra cui la Bbc, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty e Voice of America. La presa di posizione dell' Apce arriva in considerazione dell'impegno preso dall'Azerbaijan al momento dell'adesione nel 2001 al Consiglio d'Europa, impegno che prevedeva la garanzia della libertà di espressione dell'indipendenza dei media. L'auspicio è che «la decisione adottata venga riconsiderata e che vengano adottate rapidamente delle misure per rettificare la situazione» anche attraverso «assistenza europea alle autorità azere a tale scopo». L' Azerbaijan è in questi giorni uno snodo cruciale per la questione del flusso di gas proveniente dalla Russia: l'importante giacimento di Shah Deniz, che potrebbe permettere l'apertura di una nuova rotta di approvvigionamenti non legata a Mosca, verrà infatti assegnato dal governo di Baku nel corso dell'anno. A contenderselo, da una parte i russi di Gazprom, dall'altra due cordate europee. Bisognerà vedere se la censura alle radio estere e il conseguente richiamo delle autorità europee peseranno sulla scelta azera. (Agendacomunicazione)

Giornalista di Radio Free Europe aggredito ad Almaty

Yermek Boltai, un giornalista dell'emittente radiofonica Azarryk, il servizio kazako di Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, è stato aggredito ad Almaty. L'ha reso noto oggi l'agenzia di stampa Interfax. L'aggressione ha avuto luogo ieri sera, ha precisato una fonte in Rfe/Rl. "Diverse persone si sono avvicinante a Yemek, nelle vicinanze della sua casa, e gli hanno chiesto una sigaretta. Lui ha risposto che non fuma. Allora loro hanno chiesto denaro, lui gliel'ha negato. I giovani l'hanno quinti aggredito e l'hanno picchiato brutalmente", ha affermato la fonte. "Gli aggressori - ha continuato la fonte - non hanno preso né denaro né il suo telefono cellulare". Non è il primo attacco a giornalisti ad Almaty. L'ultimo ha interessato Artyom Muisov del giornale d'opposizione Taszhargan, accoltellato più volte il 29 dicembre. Tuttavia è la situazione in tutta l'Asia centrale a preoccupare in quanto a libertà di stampa, tra arresti e aggressioni. Meno di un mese fa, dopo aver seguito le elezioni politiche in Turkmenistan, il giornalista di Rfe/Rl Osman Hallyev è stato arrestato ed è sostanzialmente tuttora agli arresti domiciliari. Ogni suo movimento è controllato e gli è stato tagliato il telefono. Un altro cronista turkmeno dell'emittente, Dovlemurat Yazguliev, è stato minacciato con la moglie da funzionari locali nella provincia di Ahal. Ultimamente il cronista è stato avvertito che, se continuerà a lavorare per i media stranieri, potrebbe essere arrestato. Ancora, in Tagikistan un colleboratore dell'emittente Usa, Abdumumin Sherkhonov, è stato picchiato da tre persone, due delle quali sono state arrestate. Mentre, per tornare in Kazakistan, il direttore di Alma-Ata Info, un settimanale, Ramazan Esergepov, è agli arresti nonostante sia considerato in pericolo di vita viste le sue precarie condizioni di salute. In Asia centrale "i giornalisti possono venire attaccati e aggrediti perché hanno scritto un articolo molto specifico che minacci gli interessi di un rappresentante del governo o di un qualche funzionario", ha dichiarato Elsa Vidal, rappresentante di Reporter senza frontiere per l'Asia centrale. Rsf sta cercando di portare la questione all'attenzione di organizzazioni internazionali e multilaterali, come l'Unione euoropea. Secondo l'ultimo rapporto "Freedom in The Workd" dell'organizzazione per i diritti civili Freedom House, l'unica regione al mondo in cui nel complesso, dal 2001 a oggi, le libertà civili sono diminuite piuttosto che aumentare è quella rappresentata dai paesi dell'ex Unione sovietica, con l'esclusione dei Paesi baltici. (Apcom-Nuova Europa)
