[HCDX] Radio Taiwan International English

[Paul B. Walker, Jr.]

I have logged a few of Radio Taiwan International's English language
broadcasts here in rural central Alaska a few times, sometimes better then
others.

On Wednesday September 7th at 1547UTC, I logged the English broadcast on
11685khz. I would give this reception a SINPO Rating of 22232. The signal
was poor with lots of static, fading and noise plus if you listen closely,
you'll clearly hear interference from another radio station on the same or
nearby channels.

I made a 4 1/2 minute recording. At about 6 seconds in, you very clearly
hear a male say "Radio Taiwan International". What follows sounds like a
language learning segment, english and mandarin or other asian language.

That 4 1/2 mintue recording is here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xbAYz6O7JNc


On May 22nd, 2016 at 1123UTC, I heard an English broadcast from RTI as well
on 11600khz. The audio quality was not that great, it sounded like a
serious echo was going on. It appears to be some kind of interview program
between a man and a female RTI presenter. The signal overall was on the
lower side of good.

Here is a recording:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vg6oBTu8Blw


On September 8th at 0356UTC, I logged the 15320khz english broadcast. I
would give it a SINPO rating of 12112.There is ALOT of static/atmospheric
noise on the channel and the signal is very weak. I recorded 5 minutes
worth and took the 3 best segments of the reception and put them together.

In the first part of this one clip which is 11 seconds, a male gives out a
frequency and time schedule. In the second part of this clip which is 9
seconds, the same man gives out what I assume is the PO Box mailing address
for RTI. In the 3rd and final part of this clip, that same man says simply
"Radio Taiwan International"

I warn you, the reception is really rough and If I didn't know what to look
for, this would be impossible to have nailed down. Here's the link to the
audio:

https://app.box.com/s/kkcoe959r5iphbjvvnjoz2n0qxslhevz

On June 25th, 2016 at 1112UITC, I heard an English broadcast on 7445khz.
The signal was about an 8 out of 10 overall. There was only light fading
with no interference from other stations and nearly no atmospheric
noise/interference.

My recording starts with what sounds like a native English speaker talking
about the origin of boat races.

A 7 minute recording of my reception can be hear here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i0wSucGQrfQ

This reception above is slightly above normal/average, but not by too much.

One RTI staffer was a bit surprised I heard the 7445khz signal so well.

[HCDX] Glenn Hauser logs September 11-13, 2016

[Glenn Hauser via Hard-Core-DX]

** ALBANIA. 9854.97, Sept 13 at 0126, R. Tirana IS can be detected amid the 
self-imposed humroar, S5 signal (while CRI relay 9570 attains S9+25 and clearly 
modulated). At 0135 YL can be heard talking but useless under humroar level. 
This defect has now been going on for about three months! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX 
LISTENING DIGEST)

** AUSTRALIA. 2325 & 2485 & 4835, Sept 13 at 1207, the Northern Territory VL8 
Shower Stations are indeed back on the air, as had been promised for 2330 UT 
Sept 12 (Rob Wagner says they were back earlier than that). 2325 is S9+, 2485 
is S6, and 4835 is S9+10, seems all playing same song. At 1245, 2325 is in 
talk, 2485 is JBA but unseems // with music? And 4835 is S9+10 talk // 2325. 
4835 is still audible at 1323, S8. My sunrise today: 1213 UT. Now the ABC will 
be deciding whether enough Northern Territorians missed them during the 
deliberate outage to justify continuing them long-term (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX 
LISTENING DIGEST)

** EGYPT. 9964.88, Sept 13 at 0116, R. Cairo is JBM Arabic with whine, S9 and 
also irrelevant Cuban pulse jamming; while 9315 is usual mess of garblenoise 
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) 

** GUINEA. 9650, Sept 12 at 0624, S7 music, presumed Conakry, which I don`t 
often hear after its *0600v (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** INDIA. 9380, Sept 13 at 0105, Hindi pop music at S8, much better than usual, 
from Vividh Bharati, 250 kW Aligarh scheduled 0100-0435 per 
http://qsl.net/vu2jos/sw/freq.htm 
while // 9870 seems same music, but very weak, despite 500 kW from Bengaluru at 
0025-0440 (in the absence of TURKEY, q.v.) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING 
DIGEST)

** MEXICO. Re: ``700, Sept 8 at 1153, Radio Red ID, presumed XEDKR Guadalajara, 
which relays XERED 1110 México DF; thought I heard an FM 92.1 mentioned, but 
not listed as such in Jalisco, and in the DF it`s on 88.1. 700 listed as 
1/150 watts (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)``

XHRED and XHFO swapped formats in June, so you heard 92.1. I suspect Red FM is 
not much longer for this world (Raymie Humbert, AZ, Sept 8, WTFDA Forum via 
DXLD)

** RUSSIA. 7295, Sept 12 at 1245, song at poor S9 signal, fluttering but clear, 
while 7345 covered by Chinese; i.e. R. Sakha, Yakutsk; 7295 goes off a few 
seconds after a 5-pip timesignal ends late at 1300:07.5 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX 
LISTENING DIGEST)

** SRI LANKA. 11905, Sept 13 at 0114, SLBC carrier is VP S2, but enough to 
recognize the music prélude from 0114:44, and the 2+1 mis-timesignal ending at 
0115:09.5 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TURKEY. 9870 & 9770 & 9830, Sept 13 at 0112, Voz de Turquía is missing from 
both nominal frequencies and even the frequently used mistaken one! Can`t be 
propagation, as e.g. 9964.88 Cairo is S9.

5960, Sept 13 at 0130, as I continue bandscanning, eventually find S9+5 Spanish 
here and it is VOT! 5960 is normally employed only in the B-seasons for English 
to North America at 2300-2350v, so have they made unexpected S-season changes, 
also affecting other broadcasts? Or is this a double whammy, not only wrong 
frequency for 0100 Spanish, but wrong season? Out of the transmitter memory 
bank, perhaps. 

Ending feature `Costumbres de los Turcos` with music theme bit identical to 
opening of program as they always duplicate intros and outros, saving a lot of 
produxion work. I can`t be sure it`s starting or ending until the next item at 
0132: `Pregunta del Mes`, which I can`t copy fully, but something about someone 
who `falleció`, and multiple-choice answers, A, B, and C. (So with three 
separate entries during a month, no way not to win, if you can only understand 
the choices --- but you still have to win a draw after that.) 0134 on to vocal 
music. TRT lux out as 5960 is not otherwise occupied in this A-season, so in 
the clear. Now where is the second one? Never find it, but at 0152, 5960 is 
already off. 

Now I recheck the 31m channels, and in the meantime they have come back after 
some op woke up: at 0152, 9770 is poor at S7, and // 9870 is even poorer at S6, 
in sign-off mentioning Spanish schedule but I bet not 5960! Then into IS 
playing past 0153 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1842 monitoring: confirmed Sunday Sept 11 at 2330 on 
WBCQ 9330.047v-CUSB, S9+10. Also confirmed UT Monday Sept 12 at 0030 on WRMI
