** ALBANIA. RHC blox 13750: see CUBA
** CANADA. Once again, CHU in the clear on 7335, July 23 at 0604, no WHRI, but
apparently they still use it later. Also in clear about same time July 24.
Could nightowls check when the QRM now starts? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF
RADIO 1368, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA [and non]. Firedrake check, July 24 at 1350: fair on 10300, but not
audible on any other SOH frequency ? 9200, 13970, 16500, 18180 tho the last had
some noisy carrier on it, probably local origin. Did find Firedrake // 10300 on
11605. That would be against Radio Free Asia, Tinian in Tibetan until 1400*;
after 1400 no Firedrake on 11605, but something weak, in Vietnamese. That would
be RFA via Tainan, Taiwan, per Aoki, so not subject to jamming (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. RHC missing from 11805, July 24 at 1355 and later; instead heard
something in Chinese. That would be VOA via Tinang, Philippines, or more
likely, the Chicom jamming against it (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [and non]. RHC was on 13750 instead of 13680, July 25 from 1309
tune-in, until 1459* or so. I was of course checking for R. Tirana, 1300-1328
in English to NAm on 13750. RHC has done this once or twice before, probably in
error. Currently on their schedule 13750 shows Sundays only from 1400 for Al?,
Presidente. No trace of Tirana audible underneath. RHC audio was somewhat
distorted, and much weaker // 15190 also mixed with some hash, unclear whether
from own transmitter or not. Perhaps the lesson is to avoid ANY RHC frequency
24 hours a day. We`ll see what happens the next day (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. XEYU, 9599.2 or so, 0545 July 23, classical music axually coming in
well enough to enjoy, tho with some deep fades; pause for announcement
including government agency PSA, no commercials; into Wagner running past
hourtop tho het de 9600.0 underneath. F-layer propagation still pitiful; maybe
sporadic E accounts for this. However, XEYU was off the air again later on July
23, says Juli?n Santiago D?ez de Bonilla in the DF, perhaps due to an academic
break until early August. And not heard here on July 25 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WORLD OF RADIO 1368, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
Solar-terrestrial indices for 22 July follow. Solar flux 66 and mid-latitude
A-index 4. The mid-latitude K-index at 0600 UTC on 23 July was 1 (6 nT). No
space weather storms were observed for the past 24 hours. No space weather
storms are expected for the next 24 hours.
(SEC via DXLD)
** U S A. Re KVOH reported missing from 17775 after 2300: I meant to check this
out sooner, but July 24 at 1839 they were on the air with a rather strong
signal, but with BFO on one could tell that the carrier is slightly unstable,
warbling. Some suspicious activity around 17920 and 17630, but could not be
sure these were its sporadically-heard spurs (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. Once again I am hearing a het on Anguilla 11775, July 24 at 1403,
approximately 11777, and had not noticed it as I tuned by before 1400. Could
not detect any audio. I`ll bet it`s Romania, known for drifting off-frequency,
scheduled in Arabic from 1400 on 11775 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Don't shortchange your shortwave
By Chris Handy
www.dailytexanonline.com/news/2007/07/23/Opinion/Dont-
Shortchange.Your.Shortwave-2926149.shtm
Shortwave radio is an excellent medium for keeping tabs on global
events. Signals can be received from around the world at absolutely no
cost to the listener, with a wider range of content than most local radio
programming. Shortwave transmitters can be operated at a relatively
low cost by organizations or even individual hobbyists, lending
shortwave a freedom of expression unparalleled by mainstream media.
In addition, the multilingual and multicultural content of shortwave
fosters the development of a great diversity of perspectives. "DX'ing,"
or distance listening, is a rewarding hobby with little overhead required.
Despite being more affordable and easier to access than ever before,
many people are completely unaware that shortwave exists. Technical
considerations have also given a certain stigma to shortwave as difficult
to use. The high frequency waves (3 megahertz to 30 megahertz) are
too high to be picked up on an ordinary AM radio, requiring the
purchase of special equipment. Sound quality is almost never as stable
as local transmissions, and shortwave transmissions even have a
tendency to drift to neighboring frequencies with changes in the
weather.
But the close relationship between shortwave signals and the weather
is the medium's greatest feature. What we call shortwave is simply a
range of frequencies within the larger set of all electromagnetic
radiation, which includes all other types of radio, as well as visible light,
X-rays and microwaves. Signals in the shortwave range have a peculiar
tendency to be reflected by our planet's ionosphere, a layer of gases
extending from 50 to 600 miles above Earth's surface. Instead of
beaming directly out into space, a shortwave signal sent from Earth at
the proper frequency and angle will reflect back toward the planet's
surface, where it can be received at another location.
By modifying the frequency and transmission angle, a shortwave
transmitter can send signals to literally any point on the planet. Because
the transmission relies on natural weather conditions rather than
commercial satellites, there is no fee to receive the transmissions.
Anyone wishing to receive a broadcast need only set up a suitable
antenna and find the proper frequency.
The same atmospheric properties that keep shortwave listening free
also prevent it from being commercially viable. Sound quality tends to
be poor and is best suited to voice-only broadcasts, like the news.
Sunspots and other cosmic events that interact with Earth's
atmosphere can also interfere with shortwave transmissions. Time of
day, season, temperature, cloud cover and other factors can all change
the reception of any particular signal quite dramatically.
Yet shortwave continues to remain popular and is in many ways
growing in popularity. A sturdy low-end receiver can be purchased for
$150 or less, allowing full reception of the entire shortwave frequency
range. Newer computer-controlled receivers make the task of finding
signals much easier by providing scanning functions and visual maps of
current planetary weather conditions. Some bold-hearted and
technically inclined users even build their own receivers.
Many DX'ers enjoy listening for the quirky eccentricities of the
shortwave spectrum, which carries a variety of unusual and often
unidentifiable transmissions. Particularly intriguing, for example, are
"number station" broadcasts, during which a voice reads out long
strings of numbers, with no explanation of their purpose and no
identification of the transmitter. Some people think these transmissions
are coded instructions for international spies. Other signals to listen for
include weather satellites and ham radios. Natural phenomena, such as
the aforementioned sunspot activity, can also be received and studied,
allowing the shortwave receiver to function as something like a low-end
radio telescope.

Armenian Public Radio Refuses To Re-Sign Contract For RFE/RL
Programs
http://www.armenialiberty.org/armeniareport/report/en/2007/07/525F50
86-E06C-43EE-886D-FC32FD90CB65.ASP
Statement by Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty
(Washington, DC--July 24, 2007) Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty
(RFE/RL) and its oversight agency, the U.S. Broadcasting Board of
Governors (BBG), expressed dismay at Armenian Public Radio's
rejection of a new contract to continue carrying programs of RFE/RL's
Armenian Service.
RFE/RL Armenian programs have been aired on Armenian Public
Radio -- Armenia's top radio network -- since 1998, where they have
earned the trust of a significant number of listeners. Survey data shows
that 15 percent of Armenian adults listen to RFE/RL programs each
week.
Three days of discussions in Yerevan, Armenia last week between U.S.
and Armenian broadcast officials ended without agreement on a new
contract to replace one that had lapsed in February.
"Our delegation was asked to go to Yerevan to iron out some minor
technical issues and conclude a contract to extend this successful
partnership," said BBG Chairman James K. Glassman. "All these
issues were resolved. Our delegation was told there are no deadlines,
and no threat was made to take RFE/RL programs off Public Radio. Yet
the contract remains unsigned, and our offers to make payment were
refused. It seems clear that whatever is holding up an agreement has
nothing to do with legal, contractual, or technical issues."
"We value our relationship with Armenian Public Radio," added
Glassman, "and certainly want it to continue. We look forward to
signing the contract, and making all payments stipulated in the contract,
as soon as our partners in Armenia tell us they are ready."
The Armenian parliament on July 3 did not adopt amendments to the
country's media regulations that would have banned RFE/RL and other
foreign broadcasters from public airwaves. One week later, Armenian
Public Radio indicated that it planned to stop RFE/RL broadcasts on
August 9, citing contractual and payment issues. Last week's visit to
Armenia by RFE/RL and BBG contracting officials was intended to
resolve these issues.
"The potential end of our very fruitful relationship with Public Radio has
no economic or other legitimate justification," said RFE/RL President
Jeffrey Gedmin. "Armenians go to the polls in eight months to choose
their next President, and therefore it is particularly important that
RFE/RL's broadcasts, which are widely respected for their accuracy,
objectivity and timeliness, reach the largest possible audience. Our
coverage of the May 12 parliamentary elections was singled out for
praise by OSCE observers for its balance and thoroughness."
RFE/RL's Armenian Service has been on the air since 1953 and
produces more than three and one half hours of Armenian-language
programming daily in Prague and its Yerevan Bureau. Armenian
Service programming is available via satellite, local affiliates and the
Internet, at the service's website http://www.azatutyun.am and at
http://www.rferl.org; English-language news about events in Armenia
can be found on the RFE/RL website, at
