Australia, enjoyed while we could, in substitute for usual programming, something from Orfeu ed Euridice concluding, later Respighi. Seems this wake-up show plays only short pieces. Still classical at recheck 0055 a few minutes before closing when 19000 is also on. Keith Perron explains, ``As we relay Radio Australia mornings and afternoons on our local FM relay in Taipei, I just discovered an email that came in from Radio Australia distribution saying there was a major electrical fault at the South Bank Studios and that all scheduled Radio Australia programming will be changed all day Saturday. Nigel Holmes is retiring from Radio Australia. John Westland is also retiring from Radio Australia. In July a new program schedule will be coming out. The RA Transmissions department is being merged with ABC International [Television]`` Brace yourself for further shakeups in Radio Australia transmissions and programming! As in previous auto-reply, June 7 appears to be the effective date for the end of RA as its own station. Before 2100, John Figliozzi complained, ``Hello? Isn't anybody minding the store at RA? I'm getting two feeds overlaid on one another --- Classic FM and Melbourne Local Radio -- on the RA Pacific stream and nothing on the RA Asia stream. Can't believe no one is charge of monitoring the output. Waiting for 21740 to sign on at 2100 to hear what's going out over HF. ``Here's the situation at 2120 UTC from my monitoring: On HF: 21740 and 15515 in parallel with a relay of ABC Classic FM. On Internet: Both RA Pacific stream and RA Asia stream with a clashing mix of ABC Classic FM and ABC Victoria (Local Radio)`` Anyhow it was only Classic on 21740 by the time I tuned in (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CHINA. Firedrake [non], CNR1 jamming May 25 circa 1330 with poor propagation: None in the 17s, 16s, 15s 14750, poor at 1329, timesignal at 1330, another clew it`s NOT SOH 14700, very poor at 1329 13970, poor at 1330; none in the 12s (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** KOREA SOUTH. 15575, Saturday May 25 at 1353 tune-in, KBS WR `Listeners Lounge` has already started the Indian DX Report, with news that 4760 & 7390 Port Blair transmitter has failed, but its schedule anyway --- just as outdated as the first item on WOR 1670, as Jose Jacob followed up that it returned the next day. Also some new 10 kW FM transmitters in several cities by Bangladesh Betar, until 1356. Sorry, but I had a hard time understanding the guy, most of all the contact address he gave. Presumably Bharatians will not have any problem. After regional survey of listening conditions for KBS, asks for recordings (tapes, CDs or preferably E-mail) of KBS from many years ago for a documentary being prepared for their 60th anniversary. What? Don`t they have an archive of everything they ever broadcast? Having broadcast all winter to NAm on 15575 at this hour with virtually no reception, now it`s pretty reliable, altho the modulation lacks punch. I wonder if they are still on the last known azimuth for this, 81 degrees really toward Hawaii and southern S America, or have they at least got an antenna now aimed USward? HFCC A-13 now has some KBS entries, but lacking this transmission on 15575! Just 00-04, 100 kW at 81 degrees, 16-22, 250 kW at 290 degrees (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** MEXICO. 660, UT Saturday May 25 at 0509, silly pelota game in Spanish loops WSW, and the audio from the stadium is somewhat overmodulated/distorted; 0516 break for PSA from Chihuahua`s Instituto Estatal Electoral, where it seems there will be an elexion on 7 July; ad for Mariscos San Mart?n, jingle for 98.9 and back to b?isbol, a rather late nite game, so it`s obviously XEACB, La Lupe, Ciudad Delicias, 1 kW at nite per IRCA. Also heard ``Camargo`` mentioned a couple times, presumably one of the teams from a nearby town (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** MEXICO. May 24 at 1705 UT, the 6m Es map shows opening over SW quadrant of USA, so time to aim at BCN and look for lowband analog TVDX, before Mexico turns everything into DTV: According to: http://tvdxtips.com/mexcitylist.html Mexico Analog TV Shutdown Dates by City Shutdown date for Tijuana is by April 16, 2013 Shutdown date for other 2013 is by November 26, 2013 The other 2013 cities for the latter date are: Mexicali, Ju?rez, Monterrey, Nuevo Laredo, Reynosa-Matamoros, i.e. the other major border cities, but the list is incomplete, not showing e.g. Nogales, Piedras Negras or Ensenada, where there has been a channel 2: XHENT Azteca-7 50 kW ch 2 Ensenada, still in W9WI.com but not on Danny`s map of logos http://tvdxtips.com/mexlogos.html Altho this is not a complete map, just the ones for which he has local logos. Is Ensenada considered part of the Tijuana market, so already off? XHENT is still shown with net-7 on Bill Hepburn`s channel 2 map, which I hope he is keeping up to date: http://www.dxinfocentre.com/TV2.pdf At 1705 there are traces of NTSC video on channel 2, maybe XHENT. Around 1730 a novela is making it on 2, but direxion is more like SW, not WSW. At 1752 CCI on 2, including a variety show with Gala TV bug in LR, Televisa also, i.e., former Galavisi?n. The Gala TV bug is now a large swirl, as on the logos page above. Also at 1758 with horoscope nonsense, Gala TV bug again in LR. The channel 2 list at http://www.w9wi.com/web/tv-channels/2.html shows the *only* Televisa 9 = Gala TV station is: ``Hermosillo, SO XHHMA-TV 30,000 Z H 29-04-29N 110-57-35W XLIC S:Televisa 9`` At 1800 on 2, another station audio mentions Sinaloa, so maybe XHI-TV in Los Mochis (not to be confused with the *other* XHI-TV in Ciudad Obreg?n, Sonora, which is related but not //, per Oglethorpe). Channel 4 also shows occasional activity: at 1746 evil-penguin toon from net 5. 1758 again spotted net 5 bug in UR. There are lots of these all over the country, but the most likely in NW Mexico is: ``Mazatlan, SN XHMAF-TV 100,000 Z H 23-15-34N 106-23-11W XLIC S:Televisa 5`` But there are also net-5s on ch 4 in La Paz and Torre?n. At 1840, sudden burst of video on ch 2 says 417-4040 / TAXI EXPRESS, and some other phone numbers, full screen, large font --- English?? No, Googling leads right to Ciudad Obreg?n, Sonora, as in W9WI.com: ``Cd. Obregon, SO XHI-TV 100,000 Z H 27-34-30N 109-56-27W XLIC S:Televisa local`` At 1850 I am finally getting a `bright` signal from WSW on channel 3, which is what I was expecting at the outset: still analog for another semiyear, XHBC Mexicali, since it`s running a PSA for TJE del Estado de Baja California, which once you get past Google and MS Word insistence that you must be typoing THE, means TRIBUNAL DE JUSTICIA ELECTORAL. A novela at 1855, maybe from same. After that the opening dies down, and I hope it stays down since I have to quit for now. At least the short-spaced co-channel XHTJB in Tijuana, on same offset now must be gone --- or DT on 3? At http://www.w9wi.com/web/tv-states/BN.html XHTJB is still listed on ch 3 with no UHF or other DTV replacement, but so is XETV on 6 past deadline (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** OKLAHOMA. 780, May 25 at 0506 UT, daytimer KSPI Stillwater open carrier is on again, making fast SAH with Pueblo and attenuated WBBM.

Not surprising, since WWV reported: ``Geophysical Alert Message Solar-terrestrial indices for 24 May follow. Solar flux 127 and estimated planetary A-index 20. The estimated planetary K-index at 0000 UTC on 25 May was 4. Space weather for the past 24 hours has been moderate. Geomagnetic storms reaching the G1 level occurred. Solar radiation storms reaching the S2 level occurred. Space weather for the next 24 hours is predicted to be minor. Geomagnetic storms reaching the G1 level are expected. Solar radiation storms reaching the S1 level are expected.`` 9665 VOR via PRIDNESTROVYE had similar flutter and usual weaker signal (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** TURKEY. 13635, May 25 at 1257 TRT IS is repeating without pauses, as typical of the Turkish language service; brief announcement and more until timesignal and cutoff at 1300*. This means the following frequency on same 310 degree antenna, 9840, must be a bit late coming up. Tip: IS should play *before* a frequency opens, not after one is closing. Quite good reception: wish English on 15450 were as good. In fact, it`s not bad either, but not checked until 1314 with multi-lingual ID filler, Question of the Month, deadline May 31. I must have just missed the fortnightly DX Corner! (16m is just about dead, even Cuba JBA) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1670 monitoring: special airing on WTWW-2 9930 started approx. 1852 UT Friday May 24, following hokey organ music, presumably `Unshackled`. Confirmed on Area 51 via WBCQ webcast and presumably 5110v-CUSB, UT Saturday May 25 starting at 0133. Confirmed on WRMI 9955, Saturday May 25 at 1520, just barely audible here altho no jamming.

Mai 2013 im Steakhouse Strauss in Ottenau * *Etwa 30 Freunde von RTI und des weltweiten Rundfunkfernempfangs aus Baden-W?rttemberg, Bayern, Berlin, Hessen, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Saarland, Schleswig Holstein, Taiwan, Volksrepublik China und Syrien fanden sich am 11. Mai im Ottenauer Steakhouse Strauss zum 32. ?berregionalen DX-Treffen ein. * *Vor dem offiziellen Rahmenprogramm ergab sich auch f?r einige Teilnehmer in diesem Jahr wieder die Gelegenheit, sich telefonisch mit Eva in der Redaktion zu unterhalten. * * * *Nach der Begr??ung folgte die Bekanntmachung der Tagesordnung und ?bermittlung der Gr??e von Hobbyfreunden und Hoererklubmitgliedern, die aus verschiedenen Gr?ndern leider nicht am Ottenauer H?rertreffen teilnehmen konnten. Seit dem letztj?hrigen H?rertreffen sind mit Werner Wolf, Ilse Hell, Ehrenmitglied Erwin Winter, Engelbert Borkner, Siegfried Lesser, Heinz Fraahs, Klaus F?hrlich, Roger Kirk, Helmut Kraft, Hans Bickel, Dr. Anton Josef Kuchelmeister, Heinz Br?uer, Alwin Erdmann Rudi K?hler und Helmut H?hn gleich 15 Radiofreunde verstoben, den w?rdevoll gedacht wurde. Es folgte ein R?ckblick auf verschiedene H?rertreffen im Teilnehmergebiet sowie vom Berliner H?rerklubtreffen im April sowie den Veranstaltungen des Rhein Main Radio Clubs. * *Der RTI H?rerklub Ottenau konnte auch in den letzten Monaten einen weiteren Mitgliederzuwachs verzeichnen und hat derzeit 89 Mitglieder. * *Der Ottenauer H?rerklub veranstaltete im Jahr 2012 Kontestaktionen mit Radio Taiwan International, der Stimme der T?rkei, Radio Rum?nien International, RTR 2 in Belgien, Radio 700 und dem Hamburger Lokalradio, an denen H?rerklubsekret?r Christoph Preutenborbek gro?en Anteil hatte. Besondere Anerkennung erhielt christoph auch f?r den Entwurf der Teilnehmerurkunde.* *Bedauert wurden die Kurzwellen-Abschaltungen von der Stimme Russlands und von der Stimme Kroatiens, die seither nur noch auf Mittelwelle zu h?ren sind. Aber auch die Programme auf der Mittelwelle werden immer weniger, so hat auch Ende April der MDR seine Mittelwellenfrequenzen abgeschaltet. Als n?chster Sender wird RTL die 1440 au?er Betrieb nehmen. * *Es folgte die Ausgabe der Tombolapreise, mein Dank fuer die Unterstuetzung unserer Tombola geht auch an Yigal Benger, der unter weiterem auch mehrere Radios zur Verf?gung gestellt hat, an Dr. Harald Gabler und den RMRC, Rita und Hellmut Bahnsen, Paul Reinersch, RTI, MDR, WDR, Gemeinde Gottes und Ina Schemming in Canada, Gemeinde Gottes und Niko Ernst in Herford, TRT Ankara, Radio Slowakei International, China Radio International, WYFR und das Taiwan Tourismusb?ro in Frankfurt. Es folgte ein sehenswerter Power Point Vortrag, der uns von Chiu Bihui pr?sentiert wurde, dabei erhielten wir wieder interessante Einblicke auch in die RTI Deutschredaktion und die Sendeanlagen von RTI. Vielen herzlichen Dank an dieser Stelle auch an Olaf und an den ERF fuer den Beamer und an Heiko fuer den PC. Da an diesem H?rertreffen auch Wu Shiyun und Zheng An von China Radio International teilnahmen gab es sehr interessante Vergleiche zwischen den deutschprachigen Redaktionen der Kurzwellenprogramme aus Taiwan und der Volksrepublik China. * *Auch in diesem konnten wieder Empfangsversuche mit einem DAB+ Radio gemacht werden, so wurde festgestellt, dass in Ottenau im Vergleich zum Vorjahr, als nur 6 SWR Programme geh?rt werden konnten es inzwischen doch weitere Programmangebote gibt. * *Fuer ihre 5 malige Teilnahme an den Ottenauer Hoerertreffen wurden Werner Schubert und Dirk Pranke, f?r 15 malige Teilnahme Alfred Albrecht aus Emmendingen ausgezeichnet. F?r ihre Verdienste um den RTI H?rerklub Ottenau wurde Anna Seiser mit grosser Zustimmung der anwesenden Mitglieder zum Ehrenmitglied ernannt. Als zus?tzlicher Stellvertretender Vorsitzender wurde Herbert J?rger in sein Amt eingef?hrt. * *In der RTI H?rerklubversammlung gab es einige W?nsche und Anregungen, darunter auch die Bitte nach wichtigen Argumenten, warum die Kurzwelle bei RTI erhalten bleiben muss. F?r Unterhaltung sorgte auch das von Paul Reinersch zusammengetellte Stationsquiz, bei dem die Pausenzeichen verschiedener Programme erkannt wurden. An dieser Stelle auch herzlichen Dank an Werner Schubert fuer deinen Preis. ?berraschend fand sich an diesem Nachmittag auch noch Christa Kuzbari, langj?hrige Mitarbeiterin und H?rerpostbetreuerin der deutschssprachigen Kurzwellenprogramme aus Damaskus beim H?rertreffen ein um ihre H?rer auch mal pers?nlich kennenzulernen. Sie h?lt sich derzeit in deutschland auf und hatte deshalb eine k?rzere Anreise. Sie berichtete ?ber die aktuelle Lage bei Radio Damaskus und auch ?ber die derzeit nicht einsatzf?higen Kurzwellensender ihrer Station. * *Es gab eine kurze Vorschau auf weitere Hobbyaktivitaeten wie die n?chste ADDX Mitgliederversammlung in Remscheid. * *Geplant wird auch f?r den 10.05.2014 das dann 33. ?berregionale DX-Treffen mit RTI H?rertreffen in Ottenau.* *Bedanken moechte ich mich an dieser Stelle auch bei allen die mitgeholfen haben, sei es durch ihre Technik, das Abholen des Informationsmaterials oder die Dekoration im Steakhouse Strauss.* *Hinweise zu diesem Treffen gab* *es w?chentlich im RTI Briefkasten, au?erdem auch bei RAE, Radio 700, Radio Damaskus, Radio Tirana, TRT, Radio Slowakei international, IRIB, Radio Ukraine International, VOV-Stimme Vietnams, Radio Rumaenien International, Radio Bulgarien und Radio HCJB, wof?r ich mich an dieser Stelle auf freundlich bedanken m?chte. * *Gruesse an unsere Teilnehmer sendeten am Wochenende auch Radio Bulgarien, Radio 700, Radio HCJB und Radio Slowakei International. ***** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ------------------------------ Message: 6 Date: Sat, 25 May 2013 09:58:57 +0000 From: Ivo Ivanov <ivo.obser...@gmail.com> To: "'Abu Sayed'" <sayed.raya...@yahoo.com>, "'Al Quaglieri'" <listenersnoteb...@gmail.com>, "'Alexander Beryozkin'" <dx...@nrec.spb.ru>, "'Alexander Dementiev'" <alek...@mail.ru>, "'Alexander Zurman'" <joochi2...@yandex.ru>, "'Alexey Zinevich'" <zas-2...@mail.ru>, "'Alexsander Diadischev'" <daa-d...@yandex.ru>, "'Alokesh Gupta'" <alokeshgu...@hotmail.com>, "'Anatoly Klepov'" <ru...@yandex.ru>, "'Andreas Tschauder'" <andreastschau...@t-online.de>, "'Andreas Volk'" <andr...@volk-muenchen.de>, "'Andrei Skorodumov'" <skorodumov.and...@gmail.com>, "'Anker Petersen'" <anker.peter...@mail.dk>, "'Arnulf Piontek'" <pae...@web.de>, "'BCLNEWS'" <bclsiciliac...@inwind.it>, "'Bengh Ericson'" <bengt.eric...@telia.com>, "'Bernd Trutenau'" <btrute...@delfi.lt>, "'BK99'" <jak...@bk.ru>, "'Bob Padula'" <bobpad...@mydesk.net.au>, "'Boris Chastoedov'" <chastoe...@inbox.ru>, "'Dan Ferguson'" <shortw...@zerobeat.org>, "'Dario Gabrielli'" <dario_gabrie...@libero.it>, "'Dmitri Kutuzov'" <de...@dialup.etr.ru>, "'Dmitry Mezin'" <dm6...@gmail.com>, "'Dmitry Puzanov'" <k...@inbox.ru>, "'DX Listening Digest'" <d...@yahoogroups.com>, "'Georgi Bancov'" <georgi.ban...@gmail.com>, "'Glenn Hauser'" <wghau...@yahoo.com>, "'Global Radio DX Club'" <gr...@yahoo.co.in>, "'Hard-Core-DX'" <hard-core-dx@hard-core-dx.com>, "'Igor D'" <igo...@zba.tr.ukrtel.net>, "'Jaisakthivel '" <ardicdxc...@yahoo.co.in>, "'Jorge Garcia'" <garcia.jorgegar...@gmail.com>, "'Konstantin Aseev'" <kos...@kursknet.ru>, "'Konstantin Gusev'" <gu...@itep.ru>, "'Mauno Ritola'" <mauno.rit...@gmail.com>, "'MIDXB'" <rusmi...@mtu-net.ru>, "'Mikhail Timofeyev'" <timofe...@sp.ru>, "'Noel Green'" <noel.gr...@dswci.org>, "'Paul Ormandy'" <zl...@orcon.net.nz>, "'Radio Kurier'" <h...@addx.de>, "'Sei-ichi Hasegawa'" <h.seii...@yahoo.com>, "'Sergej Rogov'" <sergej...@googlemail.com>, "'Sergey Shohin'" <50sd...@rambler.ru>, "'Sergey Vinokurov'" <vnk...@rambler.ru>, "'Shukhrat Rakhmatullaev'" <uzbe...@gmail.com>, "'Siniy Voron'" <siniyvo...@hotmail.com>, "'T.

Take radio broadcasting of the 1930-1950 era. Assume someone was just 20 years old in 1950 to have been involved [other than being a listener] in broadcasting, and basic math tells us that person is now 83 years old, 93 if they were 20 in 1940 and 103 if they were 20 in 1930....... And only if they're even still alive and with us......statistically, most of them simply aren't any more. If they are, a significant number are now unable to physically get around the house or the neighborhood easily, have restricted financial means, and simply don't have internet access. Sadly, they're a critical but now fading group for a memorabilia project like ours. Move along a generation to their children, now aged between 63-83. Still some life left in this group yet, which now includes the first baby boomers as well. The links to the past are getting weaker, but in some ways, they represent the second golden period of radio through the 1950's, and bring a new range of interest, involvement, memories and engagement to this project. Then, the grandchildren of our 20 year old generation from 1950......now aged 43-63 and struggling with life today, sandwiched between care needing parents and their own children [and their grandchildren] in tough economic times. How does a project like ours, which covers radio from the 1920's up to today, remain relevant to different generations all with different experiences and expectations, and interests? As a web based project, we can probably move faster than a museum or archive full of locked away artifacts. We also know that some of the 20 year old folks from 1950 still hold and express strong views about radio in their day, and do what they can to encourage us. Their children also have memories of a strong influence of radio in their popular culture of life, and browse our hundreds of features. >From our research and our Facebook page we know most of our supporters, those who engage with us, those who make a donation of money, time and materials from time to time are actually aged about 45-65..........with some spillover over to 65-75 and under to 35-45..........so we wish to acknowledge these hard pressed folks in particular for finding some time to honor the past and remember their parents generation, and contribute to a project that one of our visitors from India has described 'as an encyclopedia'............ Encyclopedias are fast becoming dinosaurs of today's information age, along with museum artifacts and physical storage facilities so I hope you'll agree we need to continue telling more stories, stories based on sound and accurate knowledge of the facts.............and I hope you'll find ways to keep us relevant, accurate, honest and inclusive as we move towards our first 10 years online......and no matter what your age, memories or means. Thank you for trusting us to share your stories and memories. David Ricquish Chairman Radio Heritage Foundation www.radioheritage.com The Global Radio Memories Project An independent non-profit made possible thanks to a core group of supporters all over the world who like what we do. Will you pass it forward today and join them? End of Hard-Core-DX Digest, Vol 125, Issue 30 *********************************************
