La Rosa de Tokyo, el programa semanal de DX y medios de comunicaci?n
irradiado a trav?s de LS11 Radio Provincia de Buenos Aires (AM1270 Khz;
www.amprovincia.com.ar y una importante red de emisoras de frecuencia
modulada, amplitud modulada y onda corta de la Argentina y el resto del
mundo) modifica su horario de emisi?n.
En efecto, a partir del pasado s?bado 04 de Abril de 2009, La Rosa de Tokyo
se irradia los s?bados desde las 0900 hasta las 1000 hora de la Argentina
(1200 a 1300 horas UTC).- De esta forma, la emisi?n no estar? afectada por
las transmisiones deportivas de la emisora en las cuales se siguen las
campa?as de los equipos platenses de primera divisi?n.
En el programa de hoy se realizar? un an?lisis de Radio Atlantico del Sur y
Radio Liberty, dos emisoras propagand?sticas que irradiaron sus programas
durante la Guerra de Malvinas.
Escucharemos un revelador e interesante reportaje al fallecido Enrique A.
Mancini que aportar? importantes datos sobre nuestra R. Liberty.
Como siempre, durante el transcurso del programa se emitir?n archivos
historicos sonoros imperdibles.

** BIAFRA [non]. V. of Biafra International via WHRI on 17520 for the second
Friday in a row! So maybe they will stay a while. Reception this time
sufficient, April 17 at 1858, frequency already on with long-form WHRI ID
giving frequency and militaristic in-your-face-to-the-heathens, Onward,
Christian Soldiers theme --- we will conquer and convert you by force if
necessary. 1900 switches to VOBI theme, ID and usual opening of Finlandia, and
All Hail Biafra --- BTW, the English lyrix really take some forcing into the
metre of the music, so originally some other song, or some other lyrix?
1906 ``Let Us Pray``, but instead of 5-minute supplication, a lively song in
vernacular for a sesquiminute, hardly seemed prayerful. 1907:30 already into
newscast in Biafran English. By then, three station IDs by The Orator, with
webfeed artifacts, had gone by, none of them mentioning the frequency. Has it
been updated on their own website http://www.biafraland.com/vobi.htm ? of
course not! Still shows 15280 at 2000, where it existed only in the dim,
distant past. Yet this same page has been updated with the latest audio file
linx including April 17.
BTW, it has now been confirmed by James MacDonell in Niger State that Enugu`s
own 6025v is back on the air (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [and non]. As soon as RHC`s new frequency to Europe became known, I
outpointed that it would collide with Saudi Arabia, already using 11820. This
usage is even in PWBR `2007` at 1800-2300 to Western Europe, which means they
have been using it since at least 2006 and probably longer; so there`s no
excuse for RHC`s frequency manager missing it, really blowing this pick. How
long will they keep clashing, to avoid losing face by admitting their mistake?
April 17 at 2040, found RHC making a SAH of about 5 Hz atop some muezzining
underneath on the non-buzzy BSKSA channel. I`ll bet it`s a different story in
Europe, BSKSA aiming 500 kW at 320 degrees from Riyadh. RHC 11820 signal here
stronger than its // 11800 for all the Arabs in the Caribbean.
At 2101, these were going into Spanish, opening announcement 50% wrong as to
four frequencies in use: ``13760, 9550 to S America; 11800 to Caribbean; 11750
to Europe``. As per RHC online sked, 9550 and 11750 have been replaced by 13790
and 11820 respectively. Besides its legion of technical problems, internal
communication at RHC is so bad that the left hand does not know what the left
hand is doing (all hands there are left). Then to Siboney-on-synthesizer theme,
which had an audio cut of several sex in it.
Meanwhile I checked the English frequencies on the 2030-2130 broadcast. At
2046, I could barely detect the new one, 17660, very poor with music // but not
synchronized to 11760. How`s it doing for all the Anglophiles in Rio de
Janeiro, the apparent target? And what about S?o Paulo, Bras?lia, Curitiba,
etc., etc.? At 2057 a song was cut off in the middle for more than two minutes
of dead air before it resumed.
13780, April 18 at 1433, Cancionero Iberoamericano, hostess mentioned that it
is on the air ``cada tarde de s?bado`` --- no doubt it also airs Saturday
evenings, but she seems unaware that it has been a Saturday morning staple for
many sesquiyears. This week, Argentine group El General Paz (Glenn Hauser, OK,

** CUBA [and non]. R. Mart? reporting on Pres. Obama thawing relations with
Cuba, new rules on remittances, 1415 April 18 on 11845, still jammed. If the
DentroCubans really want to improve relations they should start by TEARING DOWN
THAT WALL of radio noise (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. 9680, RRI with atonal singing accompanied by seemingly unrelated
gamelans, Sat April 18 at 1305; no QRM, so maybe the Taiwan/China radio war
abates on weekends? Same music still going at 1348 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX

** U S A. WWRB spur on 9317, April 17 at 2044, weak but // 9385 as someone
other than Brother Scare was talking, no doubt one of his psychophants. Besides
plus and minus 68 kHz from 9385, there are several reports of plus and minus 68
kHz spurs from 3185 at night (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

** INTERNATIONAL INTERNET. Hi Glenn, I have an online station called Radio For
Life http://www.radioforlife.net which is a Christian and family based station.
I would like to carry World of Radio and air it on Saturdays at 1:00 central
daylight time (1800 UT). I've been a fan forever and think that what you do is
the greatest. All the best and thanks for what you do and how honest you are
(``BMW``, April 15, to gh via DXLD)
This is from Lynn White of Bible Gateway. Program schedule in UT -4 is here:
http://www.radioforlife.net/schedule.html
It`s not on 24/7, but Saturday at 1550 with some rollicking Motown. We are now
on several webcast-only stations, in addition to live streaming from most of
the broadcast stations carrying WOR. See

While discussing with Sam Voron about Somalian shortwave
activity, the following request was made:
-----
In case it becomes possible to find a donor for Somalia do you know of any
QUICKLY available AM short wave linear amplifiers in Europe for 1 kW or more
AM output (4 kW pep)?
Most amateur linears are 1.5 kWpep (400 Watts AM maximum).
If not please keep a look out and maybe we can get something to help the
community Radio Galkayo back onto short wave.
73,
Sam

Warm greetings to all of you !
While conditions are fairly lousy, it is quite surprising that a few
Pan-Americans are still getting through as we are heading toward the end of
April... If WABC-770 keeps it's IBOC crud silent at night, then off-season
reception of LAs around its pesty channel such as Coro-780 would be expected
around June. For whatever reason, I don't yet fully understand the nearly
trans-equatorial path from Coro to Montreal is only viable, aside from the
prime time fall and winter months, only on June and early July. During may and
EARLY August, I never heard Coro-780, although starting from mid-August as the
next season slowly begins they start to show.
Into the logs now:
Trans-Atlantic DX
162 FRANCE France Inter, Allouis APR 18 0038 GMT - French talk badly chopped
by computer growl. Very poor, but the only TA making the trip the last evening,
so late in the DX season ! (Chiochiu-QC)
171 RUSSIA Radio Rossii, Bolshakovo MAR 22 2230 GMT - Very tentative;
threshold audio from a second station mixing with an equally weak Medi Un.
Unusual considering the poor conditions and FIRST TIME HERE (if them, of course
- I never saw the Radio Free Cecenia tx in Ukraine got logged in North America
- at Sylvain Naud's QTH, Russia-171 is the subdominant behind Morocco) !
(Chiochiu-QC)
Pan-American DX
555 ST KITTS ZIZ, Basseterre MAR 28 0310 GMT - Reggae music program with
Caribbean English DJ. Pretty fair with some fades. SIO 343. The splatter is
very minimal since adjacent-channel semi-local CHLN-550 went dark !
(Chiochiu-QC)
570 CUBA CMDC, Radio Reloj, Pil?n APR 18 0742 GMT - heard with a news segment
regarding technological developpment followed by "Radio Reloj" spoken ID and a
quick RR morse code ID. Fair signal and partially readable under WSYR and WMCA.
The RR code IDs didn't had the usual punch despite the fairly good signal
strength as if their CW machine has come out of age. The RR morse code ID was
only SLIGHTLY stronger than the technological developpment voice segment caught
at this time which is weird. Before, at local midnight, Radio Reloj was audible
with dorbells through the QRM as the announcer was giving time checks around
the world. Radio Reloj is doing this at both noon and midnight, as was noted
during our trip to Cuba on the 2nd week of March, 2006. Overall SIO 422 due to
QRM from both WSYR and WMCA. (Chiochiu-QC)
600 CUBA CMKV, Radio Rebelde, Urbano Norris (Holgu?n area) APR 18 0750 GMT -
atop WICC with a song done by Buena Vista Social Club. (Chiochiu-QC)
640 VENEZUELA YVQO, Uni?n Radio, Puerto La Cruz, Anzo?tegui APR 18 0330 -
Presumed with Spanish news in mess. This has been heard on 2 or 3 occasions
this season (and was regular back in 2002-2003), but I wonder where Guadeloupe
has gone ? Only on FM ? I think I miss it ! (Chiochiu-QC)
670 CUBA CMBA, Radio Rebelde, Arroyo Arrenas APR 18 0755 GMT - Cuban music
atop the WFAN's HD QRM. Hints of it could be squeezed out of WOR on 710, but
not good enough for a positive // confirmation. The past night was the first
one in a while I got Rebelde-670 good enough to break through the WFAN's
digital hiss ! (Chiochiu-QC)
750 VENEZUELA YVKS, Caracas, Distrito Federal MAR 28 0300 GMT - heard, after
the end of their previous talkshow and after several IDs prior to the
top-of-the-hour, with the beginning of a passionated speech about the unity
dream of Sim?n Bolivar. Fading during the course of a few minutes from poor to
good and backwards. WSB QRM. SINPO 43523 (Chiochiu-QC)
760 COLOMBIA HJAJ, RCN Cadena Bas?ca, Barranquilla MAR 28 0304 GMT - Woman
doing news in Spanish noted in passing briefly in WJR null. (Chiochiu-QC)
Domestic DX
570 WMCA New York, NY APR 18 0400 EDT - "...WMCA, a service of Salem
Communications" ToH ID suddenly faded on top of megapest WSYR Syracuse with
Radio Reloj bubbling under. Rare here ! This and WNYC-820 are among the harder
low-band New York City broadcasters at my QTH. (BC-QC)
Equipment test
760 WJR Detroit, MI APR 18 0001 EDT - briefly after local midnight and after a
man with a serious voice giving a legal ID, the carrer was cut. Unfortunatly,
NOTHING was really audible here in WJR's absence. With the radio's ferrite bar
perpendicular to the E/W, I got moderate computer-like growl that was fairly
slight with the radio's perpendicular to the N/S. No sign AT ALL of RCN
Barranquilla which was very threshold at best BEFORE WJR's maintenance test !
Saying that, I suspect a dumb chief engineer who didn't knew the hiss the WJR
listeners were hearing came from WABC-770 was because something was
malfunctioning, so they decided to turn it off. This maintenance period
couldn't happen at a worst time, propagation-wise ! (BC-QC)
Additionnal comments:
we are leaving for Romania around the 16th or 18th of May and I still didn't
had time to contat Romania's top FM-TV DXer, but I'm looking forward doing it
as my buzy schedule and romantic schedule permits. It appears in Romania,
sporadic-E occur more often than in the Montreal area. Well...
I tried to listen tonight as well (APR 18 EDT / APR 19 GMT), but the conditions
are abysmal. Well...
This repport is brought to you by:
Bogdan Alexandru Chiochiu DXing from Pierrefonds (Montreal's West Island), QC
using a Sanyo MCD-S830 barefoot and a Sangean ACS-818 CST along with the PK's
Shielded Magnetic LW loop
May the good DX be with you !

Thanks for this information. Question: On 972 kHz (Tajikistan), not only VoA
but also the Voice of Russia is scheduled to broadcast in Pashto/Dari, Urdu,
and Hindi from 1200 to 1600 UTC.
Who is actually on this frequency at the overlapping time? Do greenbucks win,
or Kremlin friends?
Thanks,
