Finisce l'era delle onde medie anche in Francia

A partir du 31 décembre 2015 à 24h00, les émetteurs diffusant en ondes moyennes les programmes de Radio France cesseront définitivement d'émettre. Ces émetteurs diffusaient jusqu’à présent France Info, France bleu RCFM et France Bleu Elsass.

L’arrêt du mode de diffusion en ondes moyennes (au 31 décembre 2015), prévu dans le Contrat d’objectifs et de moyens de Radio France 2015 – 2019, vise à adapter le mode de diffusion de nos antennes aux nouveaux usages et aux technologies d’aujourd’hui. La diffusion en ondes moyennes, procédé mis en service entre 1937 et 1944, s’avère en effet aujourd’hui obsolète. Cette technique est de moins en moins intégrée dans les récepteurs par les industriels. Le nombre d'auditeurs à l'écoute des ondes moyennes est désormais marginal. L’arrêt du mode de diffusion en ondes moyennes participe également de la mise en œuvre du plan d’économies prévu dans la trajectoire financière de Radio France. Il sera suivi au 31/12/2016 de l’arrêt de la diffusion en ondes longues. 

Pour toucher les publics sur tous les territoires et élargir l’audience des antennes, Radio France privilégie une amélioration de la diffusion en modulation de fréquences, la FM demeurant le premier mode de consommation de la radio d’aujourd’hui.

Dans un contexte d’évolution des usages (un auditeur sur 7 écoute Radio France sur un support connecté), Radio France investit également dans la distribution de toutes ses chaînes et de tous ses programmes sur les terminaux connectés (smartphones, ordinateurs, tablettes, TV ….). et propose de nouveaux services tels que les webradios et les applications mobiles.

** CUBA. 6100, Sunday Dec 27 at 0715, VG RHC confirmed in weekly Esperanto tacked-on semihour, all other frequencies now correctly off (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NIGERIA. 9689.9, Dec 27 at 0702, VON in French with schedule announcement, fair; at 0711 check, nothing on 7255- (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7730, Sunday Dec 27 at 0713, WRMI-13 is open carrier/dead air at S9+30, while 5850, WRMI-12, is OK with a gospel huxter, not // 9395 with excerpts from Handel`s ``Messiah``. Before 0700 all three are with Son Power Radio (a.k.a. TruNews), but on Mondays only (not Sundays), 7730 is scheduled for `In Christ We Live` for another hour until 08; while on Sundays only, 5850 is extended, changing at 0700 to `Worship in your Home` for two hours (and then, WORLD OF RADIO at 0900 – did anyone hear it?), while 9395, WRMI-6 is 24/7 TruNews. 

I *think* #6 is the old Wilkinson transmitter, the original WRMI moved in from Hialeah, ex-Radio Clarín, quite an historic unit. BTW, WRMI-1 is shown on the grid also on 7730, except no entries. One other transmitter with no usage at all currently is #5 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1390, Dec 27 at 1354 UT I find that local KCRC Enid is off! No severe winter storm has hit us yet. An improvement over mere dead air they were broadcasting for hours a few nights ago, so what else can I get? Just after sunrise (if we could see it!), so some skywave still. NW/SE gets some C&W music, later at 1350 UT blues with YL singer and piano; NE/SW gets something talking. I have to turn on a VCR by 1355 UT in preparation for CBS Sunday Morning (which KWTV has shifted to KSBI due to continuous winter storm coverage on main channel), and the VCR radiates blocking noise on the NW/SE angle. 

So I keep on the NE/SW station, can`t pull any IDs but 1400 UT Fox ``News``, 1405 UT national ad with 800 number, 1406 UT into `Smart Living with Larry Ahrens` from BizTalk Radio. Says the show originates in Albuquerque. I do find that on the BizTalk pdf schedule grid (due for changes in January), for this hour on Sundays, via

http://affiliate.biztalkradio.com/Programming-Schedule

but the ``affiliate resources`` do not include any list of them! Proprietary info, I suppose. Unfortunately, neither BizTalk network, nor Ahrens show are among those referenced in the 2016 NRC AM Log. Nothing specific about affiliates searching on his name; he`s an alumnus of KKOB 770.

1390, KJPW, Waynesville MO, looks to be the very likely source, in fact called `The Source` in NRC AM Log, affiliated with Fox news, but can`t find an own website as it`s insignificant among a sextet of co-stations at 

http://www.myozarksonline.com/2015/03/27/select-your-station-here/

It`s our `next` 1390 station to the northeast. Unlike very direxional KCRC, KJPW is ND day and night, 5000/111 watts, PSRA 500, but now it`s definitely Day. The two 1390s in Arkansas are both Spanish. 

As for the music station on 1390, these two are most likely by proximity and listed format: KNCK, Concordia KS, OLD; KBEC, Waxahachie TX, C&W - Texas Classic Music. By 1625 UT check, KCRC is back on, shux (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** YEMEN [non]. 11860, Dec 27 at 1340, R. Sana`a is in well with Arabic discussion; 1435 I`m back during rousing music at S9+20 with some IADs, standing by for this evening`s Maghrib, Call To Prayer interruption, which happens at: 1441:17, also audiblizing IBB Kuwait R. Ashna *still* underneath. This is 9 seconds earlier than yesterday, while it should be a few seconds later. Will Allah get `em for that? 11860 is still S9+10 at 1516 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Glenn Hauser logs December 26-27, 2015

** CHINA. 9455, Dec 26 at 1934, weak Firedragon music jamming at S6. Also seems to be a LAH; target is RFA Chinese via Saipan, supposedly until 2100 but nothing audible at recheck shortly after 2000. Someone mentioned that the axual music on the Firedragon jamming has changed for the better, but I haven`t heard it well enough in a long time to opine. Is it really different? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** EAST TURKISTAN. 5060, Dec 27 at 0052, weak signal but registering S9 vs the storm noise level, and definitely in Chinese, so it`s Xinjiang PBS, Urumqi, which we also sometimes detect around our sunrise, and now this leads us to try the other three services on 60m, immediately finding weaker JBA carriers, as listed: 4980 Uighur, 4850 Kazakh, 4500 Mongolian. The Chinese-language service is first among equals, but 4980 is second (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** EGYPT. 9860, Dec 27 at 0049, JBA music and talk, S6. Could it be Cairo active on this in Spanish? 12070 is also detectable, even weaker and not enough to make a //. If so, there`s a chance 9860 would stay on past 0200 for the English sesquihour previously on 9315. Can anyone confirm that, further east? But 9860 is no longer audible here at 0135. 9860 could well be CRI from Jinhua site at 00-02. The Cairo Arabic frequency at 0050 was S7 but just barely modulated and not offset, 9965.0 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** JAPAN [non?]. 9830, Dec 27 at 0058, surprised to heard NHK IS and IDs in Japanese and English, as frequent bandscanning around this hour has never encountered it before. No program ever starts, just IS & IDs continuing at further chex past 0102, 0107; 0136 but weakening. Not scheduled here in HFCC or Aoki, instead CNR1 non-jammer from Beijing, but no sign of it. NHK apparently testing, from where? FWIW, NHK was stronger than other frequencies direct from China on 31m (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KOREA NORTH [non]. 5910, Dec 26 at 1302, poor signal with piano music and YL in presumed Korean as listed, tho my first impression was Japanese, anyhow Shiokaze from JAPAN on its latest frequency change as first reported by Ron Howard yesterday, ex-5985. And today he says the other broadcast, far too late at 1600 for us to hear on 6 MHz band, has moved from 5910 to 5955 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 720, Dec 27 at 0121, romantic music, break and ``continuamos con el fonógrafo de 720 AM`` atop WGN most of the time. Might have been KSAH TX, but definitely Mexican at 0142, with PSAs from INE - Instituto Nacional Electoral, SCT - Secretaría de Comunicaciones y Transporte, CNDH - Comisión Nacional de Derechos Humanos; another ``continuamos`` non-ID as above and back to music. Presumed the usual irritant to WGN, making a slow SAH with it, XEDE, Saltillo, Coahuila (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 1060+, Dec 26 at 0604, choral NA ending, as usual making LAH on the hi side of 1060.0 stations, full ID for XERDO, ``La Raza`` also mentioning 93.7 FM, i.e. Reynosa. This is a new station first appearing in the WRTH 2016 edition (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NETHERLANDS [non]. 7395, Dec 27 at 0147, The Mighty KBC has Uncle Eric introducing Wolfman Jack, with an Xmas medley, interviewing a member of the Elf Liberation Front; S7 via Nauen, GERMANY (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6950.0-AM, Dec 27 at 0138, just as I tune in very weak S5 signal I hear an ID in form of e-mail address from Radio True North (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PERU. 5980, Dec 27 at 0104 two weak carriers on slightly different frequencies, the stronger one with traces of modulation, until it cuts off at 0104:53*, which is 6.5 seconds later than last night at 0104:47.5*, so it`s Radio Chaski back on track with its slipping autotimer, leaving a bit from BBC UAE still carriering on 5980 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SRI LANKA. 11905, Dec 27 at *0114:11.5, S3 carrier cuts on over the JBA Chinese one; 0114:46.5, music prélude starts; 0115:17.5, 2+1 timesignal ends by SLBC. These times vary little, so they are reliable within their off-time universe (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENNG DIGEST)

** U S A. 15740, Dec 26 at 1925, steady S9 open carrier, no doubt Greenville warming up for switch to modulating 15730 in French from 1930, while VATICAN site is in 15730 use 1830-1930, violating Separation of Church and State; after an hour from NC, another semihour in French is tacked on 15730, Sundays only via Botswana at 2030-2100 (and Saturdays same in Hausa) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1805 monitoring: despite storm noise, confirmed at Equatorial Guinea item circa 0434 UT Sunday Dec 27 on WA9RCR, 1860-AM, so started somewhat later than nominal 0415. Next:

** U S A. 5085, Dec 26 at 0610, Art Bell is still back on another holiday rerun before he resigned from `Midnight[sic] in the Desert`, via WTWW-2, but still gone from 6070, CFRX. Who will be doing the next show, UT Tuesday Dec 29 from 0500+? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9475, Dec 26 at 1937, as I tune in WTWW-1, it`s off; then cuts on during a ham show, off again by 1938. 

9930, WTWW-2 is on at 1938 Dec 26, still with Xmas music. At 0051 check Dec 27, 9930 is still on with Ted selling a radio, starting to fade down, not yet on night frequency 5085 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7504.75, Dec 27 at 0152, WRNO is already on with distorted gospel music (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 3215, UT Sunday Dec 27 at 0154, a couple guys offering anti-Hillary material, 0157 wrapping up reminding us that from next Saturday they will be on ``shortwave 1``, 3215, at 7:30-9 pm Eastern [0030-0200 UT Sunday], ``American Prophecy`` with a 330-area code phone number. Well, they are already on that time and frequency this week! 

This has been WWRB, as Dave Frantz then comes on at 0158, apparently live, after the `Prophecy News Hour` with QSY announcement to ``secondary frequency`` 3195 mentioned multiple times, where he will be reading reception reports. He says they are driving two antennas, to northeast and south, with 15,000 (? 50,000?) watts. Off at 0200 and WWCR comes on 3215 a few seconds later. It seems the two rivals are well-coördinated about this, only by clock or by monitoring?

3195, WWRB comes up in about half a minute after 0200, with Dave again; now sounds like he says power is 110,000 watts. He talks on and on past 0215 about: WWRB as only station to use aircraft to align antennas; other US stations are just guessing at their rhombic coverage. His main business is aviation, including pipeline tracing, tax-mapping, and when he was in Key West found the WWRB signal on south beam to be ``astoundingly strong``, thus also into Cuba, and also has reports like that from Jamaica and Costa Rica (50 over 9). 

Measuring field strength in all direxions, he has flown circles around the site testing at low power, at a distance of 10 miles, first at 500 feet, then up to higher flight levels (so he has a 3-D picture of the signal patterns). A SW signal looks like an open clamshell. Look at the WWRB website for a photo gallery. 

At 0205 he`s pushing for customers to broadcast to Cuba, where they have no Bibles and no internet, but US AID gave away some shortwave radios. Then a rant against most ``Taj Mahal`` churches which are in growing debt and only interested in getting money from members, rather than evangelism, little more than vanity social clubs.

Based on what I heard tonight, my logs of last two nights were incorrect. I didn`t have 3195 in my BST-1 caradio memories, so thought when 3215 was closing he really meant 3185, which I could hear, instead of 3195 to be next, which is certainly active. Tonight 3185 was already running before 0200 with Brother Scare, and sounded much weaker, tho the S-meter showed only about 5 dB less than 3195. Maybe it`s the solid state modulator on SW-1 which makes the difference?

Altho the current date is auto-displayed at the top of the http://www.wwrb.org homepage, everything else is in dire need of updating, from 2011, 2012, etc. Better not to look at the program or transmitter schedules at all, lest you should believe some of the long-gone details (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1130, Dec 26 at 1354 UT, open carrier/dead air from KLEY Wellington KS on groundwave (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1640, Dec 27 at 0110 UT, KZLS Enid-Hennessey-OKC is in dead air again, as a winter storm is approaching, scared silent? So I can hear some music playing under the carrier, unlikely stupid sports-talking from WTNI MS; tweaking the NRD-545 tuning for tight bandwidth and passband, past the KZLS carrier, 0130 UT Spanish announcement, ``disfrute la diferencia``, 0131 UT ad with an 801-area code, which nails it as the SS Utahn, KBJA Sandy. This had been DKBJA for a while, Deleted by FCC, but now the D is gone, so they are apparently legally on air again. Nothing helpful about this in their Correspondence File at AM Query (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** YEMEN [non]. 11860, Dec 26 at 1320, R. Sana`a is only S3, very poor, not having faded up yet, so I doze. Then at 1344 it`s up to S9 during phoner interview in Arabic; By 1430 peaking at S9+10 with rousing music, 1439 and 1440 changing musix, until finally cut to Maghrib Qur`an call to prayer starting at 1441:26, which is a good 130 seconds later than yesterday at 1439:16, so now they`re catching up to the sunset, calculated (to the minute, not the second) by gaisma.com for Dec 26 as 1442 UT in Aden, 1441 in Sana`a, both to reach 4 minutes later in 1 week. 

By 1520 the 11860 signal has diminished to S9, and by final check 1611 only S6, and/or with IBB KUWAIT, which at the peak I could only hear during Qur`anic pauses. So let`s say ~1345-1530~ UT is the current window for this at amazingly good strength, starting about sunrise here which was 1341 UT today. At random chex elsewhen during the alleged 24-hour schedule of 11860, I hear little or nothing. Where is this Radio Sana`a really from, what power and azimuth? (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

 

UNIDENTIFIED. 890.7, Dec 27 at 0123, quite a het here not against WLS, but against Cuba`s R. Progreso on 890.0. Can`t pull any audio from it, but is best on E-W rather than N-S antenna. Surely Algeria would not be that far off 891 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Afghan Authorities Claim to Shut Down IS Radio

Nangarhar University students gather as some raise Taliban and Islamic State flags in Jalalabad, Afghanistan, Nov. 8, 2015. An Afghan official said the government is investigating links between universities and extremist groups. Local authorities in Afghanistan’s Nangarhar province say that Sadai Khilafat Radio (Voice of Caliphate), which broadcast pro-Islamic State propaganda, has stopped broadcasting in the eastern province. Mimicking IS's media outreach in Syria and Iraq, the Afghan branch also set up a radio station in Nangarhar, broadcasting at least one hour a day to attract young Afghan men disenchanted by dim job prospects in a war-torn country with an overall 24 percent unemployment rate. The joblessness is even higher among youths targeted in the IS recruitment drive. Atta Khogyani, spokesperson for the governor of Nangarhar, told VOA that local authorities were successful in discontinuing the radio station’s broadcast. He added that authorities are looking into finding the location where the radio was broadcasting. The frequency that Sadai Khelafat Radio was broadcasting is currently airing the national anthem of Afghanistan and other traditional music. Some officials in the local government say it is possible that foreign forces helped the government shut down the radio

Glenn Hauser logs December 26, 2015

** CHINA [and non]. 9690, Dec 26 at 0122, two carriers slightly apart, one playing CNR sounder, so it`s likely a jamming situation: yes: Aoki shows RFA Uyghur via UAE this hour only is * (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** EGYPT. 12070.0, Dec 26 at 0113, S4 very poor carrier, evidence that R. Cairo is still trying to transmit here.

9965.3, Dec 26 at 0119, open carrier, dead air except some whine, S8

9745.0, Dec 26 at 0208, S8 in Arabic? Distorted, just barely modulated

9315, still nothing whatsoever after 0200 for the scheduled English to North America. WRTH 2016 says it`s on 9860 in B-15, which is one of the registered alternative frequencies, but never heard there either, yet. Must still keep an ear out for that one. 

However, Clara Listensprechen sends me an mp3 file of the live-stream transmission of R. Cairo in English, starting with a timesignal, and timecheck as 01:15 local, 2315 GMT. There is lots of extraneous sound in the background, such as a dog barking right on cue after the timesignal! People yelling back and forth, doors slamming. Sounds like it`s recorded in a home with no soundproofing, not a professional studio; and a continuous humbuzz, but quite tolerable compared to what they put on shortwave. Then news theme and news read by Mayar Adel. After 10 minutes, ``stay tuned for political commentary coming to you live from Studio 7``. Different YL speaker/reader, but same background distraxions. I`ve yet to listen to all of it, but quite an improvement over Cairo shortwave (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. A bit more from the sporadic E opening in last report, crossing into next UT day, Dec 26:

0001 on 2, dubbed animated movie, dog looks like ``Lady & the Tramp``; believe there`s an Azteca 7 bug in UR

0025 on 4, novela, Televisa 2 star bug in LR, definitely at 0031

0045 just about all gone, conveniently for me to switch to Friday evening SW monitoring session (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6951.0-AM, Dec 26 at 0107, pirate music at S8; next check 0132, announcement, ad? and into CW message, copied last part of it, -- CHER``, back to music; 0133 plays Lincolnshire Poacher IS and nothing more. Must be Bangalore Poacher as on this frequency last week. HF Undergrounders agree, 

http://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,25334.0.html

and myteaquinn copied probably the same code message 10 minutes earlier, apparently with some errors, as:

A C H E R T H I S I S T H E B A N A L O R E P O A C II E R

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 1210, Dec 26 at 0145, ``Today`s Best Country, 12-10 KGYN``, into Xmas music. Guymon 10 kW station is back to old trix, failing to protect Philadelphia at night as has been the case for a few nights now. They still have a CP for 50/39/10 kW, which if it ever happen, will give them the option of cheating with 50 kW non-direxional night as well as day. Why not? Other stations get away with it, like KNZZ 1100 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PERU [and non]. 5980, Dec 26 at 0059, only one JBA carrier, R. Chaski; a second one cuts on at 0100:10, i.e. BBC Hindi via UAE is late, about the same weakness. Then I keep listening attentively to the two beating against each other, slightly different frequencies obviously, by off-tuning to 5979.6 USB. Back to only one carrier as one cuts off at 0104:46.5*, so now we have the new base datum of R. Chaski autocutoffs to precess by 6 to 8 seconds later per night for months to come before another reset (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SRI LANKA. 11905, Dec 26 at 0114, JBA carrier from China, as I await a slightly stronger one to cut on from SLBC, which it does at *0114:25.5, rating S3. Music prélude starts at 0114:46.5 as usual, and 2+1 mis-timesignal ends at 0115:17.5, sign-on in Hindi(?) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7489.90, Dec 26 at 0127, `Allan Weiner Worldwide` starts some WBCQ ``operational notes`` --- 5110 will be on until midnight (ET) tonight -0500* UT, with `Tom Cole Theater` at 10 pm = 0300 UT. No Grog show this week. Fred Flintstone has three new shows (so I guess his cancer treatment is going well, presumably UT Sats 00-01 on 7490); David Medrick has a show ``I Love Zoey Deschanel``, whoever that is, time not given. Allan mentions his girlfriend in DeLand of Fla, Pam, cooked a great meal for them. Then J. P. Ferraro on the phone. 

Retune at 0210 finds some more program previews: next Friday evening, Jan 1 at 7-10 pm ET [00-03 UT Sat], a live New Year show with Ray of Radio Free Dishnuts, ``I guess on 5110``; At 0213, when I am listening to the delayed feed on 5109.7-CUSB, Allan reads a bit from Free Radio Weekly including a log of Bangalore Poacher by gh (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
