FRANCE DRM special program on 7135 kHz 150 kW from 0700-1600 UT, on the
occasion of IFA - International Radio and TV fair. Program started late at
0722 UT.
Obwohl bei Dream alle Felder gruen aufleuchten und der SNR bei 25dB liegt,
ist nichts von der "Special transmission from TDF/Issoudun to IFA/Berlin" zu
hoeren. Da wird wohl einfach kein Programm gesendet. (0707 UT).
(Patrick Robic-AUT, A-DX Sep 1)
Jetzt aktuell um 0726 UT hoere ich auf der QRG ein franzoesisches Programm
mit SNR max von ueber 38 db.

Guanay is certainly the station reported recently on or near that frequency.

I assume you refer to the R. La Cruz del Sur in Bolivia, nom. 4875, but what
about R. Estambul reported recently on that frequency instead?

Radio Havana Cuba
Dxers Unlimited
Dxers Unlimited?s weekend edition 1-2 September 2007
By Arnie Coro
Radio amateur CO2KK
Hi amigos radioaficionados? I am Arnie Coro , radio amateur CO2KK in
Havana, inviting you to stay here on this frequency or world wide web
connection listening to Dxers Unlimited?s weekend edition? Well, here we
are, now right at the start of the autumn equinoctial DX propagation
season, as I like to properly call it? Because there is no doubt that no
matter how the solar cycle is behaving as the autumn equinox approaches
short wave propagation conditions around the world improve dramatically
for a period that usually lasts from four to six weeks? starting just
now, when during the first week of September one starts to notice how
the HF bands begin to improve?
For example 20 meters, the queen of radio amateur DX bands will be open
to one part of the world or another for many more hours every day?
Wednesday afternoon I heard a very loud signal on 20 meters single side
band coming from the United Kingdom into the Caribbean? The UK station
was benefitting from the typical local sunset propagation enhancement,
and he was an S 9 plus 10 dB on peaks perfect copy on my 20 meters band
half wave dipole ?slopper? antenna, that is tilted at a 45 degrees angle
with the lower end aiming at Europe, to make one of the lowest cost
?beam antennas? that you can imagine?
So amigos, follow your friend?s Arnie Coro advice and devote more time,
from now on to operating your radios, because propagation conditions
will continue to get better and better for the next three to five weeks?
Stay tuned because after a short break for station ID, Dxers Unlimited?s
weekend edition will continue in afew seconds? I am Arnie Coro in Havana?
??.
The name of the station is Radio Havana Cuba, we have been on the air
since 1961, and we are proud of providing our listeners with one of the
world?s best QSL services? Yes , we do verify reception reports with a
nice , beautiful QSL CARD? a collectors item by all standards amigos?
Send your signal reports, comments about our programs and radio hobby
related questions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or VIA AIR MAIL to Arnie Coro, Radio
Havana Cuba, Havana, Cuba?
And now here is item two, also HF propagation related? Tropical Bands
propagation also benefits from the autumn equinox season, and this is
your opportunity of logging some nice catches on the 60 meters Tropical
Broadcast Band, the one that still has a relatively large number of
stations on the air? Let?s start with our own Radio Rebelde, from Havana
operating 24 hours a day on 5025 kiloHertz for our domestic near
vertical incidence skywave coverage of the Cuban archipelago, something
that the Tropical band is able to do with just one transmitter and a
special NVIS antenna system? But, the NVIS antennas also have minor
lower take off angle lobes that send the signals at much longer
distances, and that?s why you can pick up Tropical Band domestic
services from across the globe? Here are a few stations from Africa that
may be logged in North America and Europe during the present autumn
equinoctal DX season? Starting with ANGOLA.on 4950 , from Mulenvos, but
beware that this transmitter is usually with very low modulation index..
From the Republic of Benin, on almost exactly the same frequency as
Radio Rebelde on 5025 kiloHerts is Radio Parakou, that you may catch
when late in the evening daylight saving time, around 0500 UTC Radio
Rebelde?s 50 kiloWatt transmitter on 5025 kiloHertz is off the air for
routine maintenance?something that happens about once a month? at other
times picking up Benin of 5025 kiloHertz is a matter of luck, when
propagation changes in favor of the African station over the Cuban on
the same channel.
Moving just 5 kiloHertz up the 60 meters Tropical Band from 5025 to 5030
kiloHertz you may sometimes pick up BURKINA FASO,?s Radio Burkina from
the capital of that African nation Ougadougou, again when a the station
from Costa Rica on the same frequency is not on the air, or propagation
at your location favors the African continent..
These are just four examples of Tropical Band stations that you add to
your logbook during the present equinoctial DX season amigos, but there
are many, many others that make very interesting listening ,especially
for the nice music they play that you will very rarely if ever hear at
your local FM one hundred thousand watts stereo powerhouse !!!
?.
Now amigos, here is our technical topics section, that will be devoted
today about the growing interest among radio amateurs to use AM
modulation, and by that I mean standard double side band plus full
carrier AM, the first way of superimposing voice and music on a radio
carrier wave? A few days ago during a 40 meters bandscan that I was
doing late at night with my REGENERODYNE homebrew receiver set for
picking up CW and Single Side Band station, a loud signal produced a
really loud heterodyne? backing off the regeneration control, the AM
signal came in with excellent audio quality. It was a radio amateur from
Ohio, USA, operating a vintage transmitter that he described as more
than 50 years old. The four dash four hundred tetrode final , modulated
by a pair of eight thirteen tetrodes was certainly providing excellent
reception. The proud owner of the AM rig was using a simple half wave
dipole , so his actual antenna gain was zero db or decibels over a dipole.
He told the stations he was talking to that he was using a 1950?s
vintage Viking One transmitter at a very low power setting to drive the
big tetrode that was fed with three thousand volts on the anode? The
classic class B modulator with the eight thirteen tetrodes provided all
the audio needed for one hundred percent modulation and more, something
that as he properly explained is very important if you want your AM
signal to provide the highest possible quality sound with very low
distortion? But this Ohio ham operator was not the only one I have heard
recently, because as I just said more and more radio amateurs are coming
back to AM to enjoy the beautiful audio quality that is possible using
that form of modulation, while at the same time keeping on the air some
nice antique equipment?. I have heard recently AM amateur stations also
on 20, 15 and 10 meters, and the hams operating those stations seem to
enjoy it a lot, as they are not chasing DX or working one station after
the other in contest? they are just relaxing , talking to each other and
discussing some very interesting technical topics, like the design and
construction of amateur radio transmitters that use amplitude modulation
techniques, not only the classical ones everybody knows about, but some
of the more advanced pulse width modulation technology that has become
almost a defacto standard for AM broadcast stations but that has seen so
far very little if any use among the world?s radio amateurs.
??
You are listening to the weekend edition of Dxers Unlimited coming to
you from Havana, and here is now LA NUMERO UNO, the number one most
popular section of the show?
YOU have questions and your amigo Arnie tries to answer them? Here is
today?s question sent by listener Gabriel from Atlanta, Georgia , USA?
Gabe, as he signs his e-mail, wants to know more about regenerative
receivers and why they seem to have such a devoted group of people
around the world always experimenting with those circuits that , he very
well describes them, do require a lot of attention to construction
details in order to achieve good performance? Well amigo Gabe, it may be
a matter of accepting a challenge, or the pride to be listening to a
relatively simple radio that you have built yourself, and that picks up
distant stations better than your store bought radio? Maybe those are
the main reasons that make radio hobby enthusiasts enjoy so much
discussing the circuits with friends at the e-mail lists devoted to
regenerative receivers, changing parts values to see how the performance
of the radios change, or experiment with rarely known circuits used in
the very early days of radio and long forgotten, like the so called
?space charge tetrodes ?, that became popular because it made possible
to build a radio receiver that used only one single 6 , 9 or 12 volts
battery?. And this of course was happening when radios were battery
operated and required expensive so called B PLUS B+ batteries for
providing the high voltage to the vacuum tubes anodes? Just for your
information amigo Gabe, I have sent to you already , via e-mail the
circuit diagram and my notes of a regenerative receiver that uses low
voltage for feeding the anodes or plates of the vacuum tubes, in other
words, it doesn?t require the use of a high voltage power suppy, because
both the tubes filaments and anodes are fed from the same 12 volts DC
power supply? Maybe you can homebrew this receiver diagram that has
given many radio enthusiasts many hours of nice AM broadcast band and
shortwave listening?
Please note amigo Gabe that the vacuum tubes types used are not critical
at all, so you won?t need to spend a lot of money buying specific tube
types that are much sought by HI FI audio hobbysts who are erroneously
led to believe that certain tube types have some magical qualities that
make their audio sound better than others? My prototype of this cascode
regenerative 12 volts operated set was built and is still operating
using vacuum tubes recycled from TV sets that were retired from service?
I never even tested those tubes , just plugged them in, and the radio
started to provide excellent reception , so I just left them there amigo !!!
Now for those of you wanting to learn more about regenerative receiver
circuits, both vacuum tubes and solid state, just send me an e-mail to
[EMAIL PROTECTED], and I will send you a few circuit diagrams plus the
address of one of the most popular regenerative receivers discussion
forums on the Internet, that I strongly recommend you to join, as it is
a treasure chest of knowledge that its members share with each other in
a most civilized and educated way, with a spirit to share what each one
knows that is an excellent example of how the Internet can be used for
the promotion and development of the radio hobby ?
And now as always at the end of the show, here is Arnie Coro?s Dxers
Unlimited, HF plus low band VHF propagation update and forecast.. Solar
flux still at very low levels and a new sunspot group is growing, but it
would not produce big solar flares according to what can be seen. The
equinoctial propagation conditions are now very much in progress , so if
the flux increases above 80 units we are going to see much better
propagation by mid September? See you all at the mid week edition of
Dxers Unlimited, next Tuesday and Wednesday UTC days amigos !!!

** BIAFRA [non]. Checked WHR`s listed other broadcast of V. of Biafra
International, Wed at 1915-1945 on WHRA 13710: Aug 29 tuned in at 1914 to
gospel rock music, which continued past 1915; 1918 WHR website promo, more such
music. I forced myself to persevere until 1924, then vamoosed from that
nonsense. No sign of VOBI. So much for the WHR website (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA [and non]. Another obstacle to CFVP, 6030 reception: Aug 31 at 1345,
Firedrake mixing with something else. At least its primary CKMX 1060 is no
longer in Chinese, possibly confusing the Chicom.
Per Aoki, the jamming target is, if B-06 info is still in effect:
6030*Ming Hui Radio 1300-1400 1234567 Chinese 100 325 Tanshui TWN 12129E2513
MHR b06
followed by jammed VOA for another hour:
6030*VOICE OF AMERICA 1400-1500 1234567 Tibetan 250 324 Udon Thani THA
10245E1725 IBB a07
So the only window for morning reception of CFVP is 12-13, after Mart? and
jamming are off, tho jamming tends to linger.
However, that`s not all, per Aoki: 6030 CNR 1 0850-1730 1234567 Chinese 50 ND
Beijing 572 CHN 11627E3957 CNR1 a07 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. Cut numbers, very strong on 5800.0, Sept 1 at 0620, in fact much
stronger than RHC on 6000 or 6060, if not 6180. Full continuous carrier on AM,
with tones as Continental Code sending only ten letters, each substituting for
a number. Whenever I hear this, I am reminded of the DXers Unlimited CW message
in the produced outro; sounds like made from same equipment (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** FRANCE [non]. RFI, 17630 via Guiana French, Spanish to LAm until abrupt
cutoff at 2130* Sat Sept 1 was playing some lively ME music. Per 2005-2006
schedule still posted at http://www.rfi.fr/actues/images/074/RFI%202006_2.pdf
and no, it does not help to change 2006 to 2007 or the _2 to _1 ---
it was/is ``MUSICAL (TOP RFI / ESCENA LATINA)`` at 2110-2130 Saturdays.
For more ME music one may, and indeed did, listen for another semihour to
Morocco on 15345, hoping the het from Argentina is not too bad, until it too
rudely cuts off at 2200 without any farewell (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** MEXICO. I continue to look for traces of the sporadic XEXQ on 6045; nothing
in the mornings around 1300-1400, but Sept 1 at 0625 there was definitely a
weak signal causing a SAH under KBS World Radio in Spanish via Sackville. Maybe
trace of second audio. But after one RCI IS, that went off at 0629. Briefly I
could still detect a weak carrier, but no modulation audible, and too much QRN.
It might have worked better had Sackville left an open carrier on to hold down
the noise. In addition to its weak and sporadic signal, XEXQ has also been
troubled by undermodulation (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** RWANDA. DW is interfering with 15235 --- Your 15235 RCI frequency is having
severe interference from a DW program which keeps sweeping up and down across
the frequency, before and after 1900 UT today (Friday). At first I thought this
was another Sackville transmitter, but checking the listings, it appears to be
Rwanda which is supposed to be on 15275 (where it does land briefly from time
to time). You may want to get in contact with them to advise them of the
problem, since it is ruining RCI reception at the moment, and they really need
to fix it. Regards, (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, 1918 UT Aug 31, to RCI Master
Control, via DXLD)
DW Rwanda haywire vs RCI --- From before 1900 UT Aug 31, I was hearing a strong
signal sweeping past RCI 15235 continuously, with bits of German audio causing
a variable heterodyne. This appears to be DW Rwanda supposed to be on 15275
until 1955*. The extremely unstable transmitter goes as low as 15205 up to
15245, at times mostly around 15215. Snatch of DW theme music at 1900. Still
doing it at 1930 recheck. Hear it yourself if in time. 73, (Glenn Hauser, OK,
1939 UT Aug 31, as amended, dxldyg via DX LISTENING DIGEST)
[Later:] Quite possibly the same will be happening with the same transmitter
around its frequency after 2000. Per EiBi I can find three of them: 7130, 9875,
13650, but there are four transmitters there. Perhaps the other is relaying
something other than DW (Glenn, ibid.)
[later2:] After 2000, 13650 was just fine in Arabic, 9875 inaudible, and 7130
unchecked.
Rechecking almost 24 hours later at 1840 UT Sept 1, DW Kigali in German was
back to normal on 15275, not sweeping all over the place, and not interfering
with RCI on 15235. No reply from RCI, but Wolfgang B?schel had passed on my
observation to DW Monitoring in Germany (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SPAIN. RNE Radio 3 revamps its program schedule Sept 3:
http://www.rtve.es/rne/r3/index.htm
Including La Ba?era de Ulises moves 5 hours earlier on Sats from 1700 to 1200
UT, inconvenient for us. Fortunately, a shortened version airs several times on
REE. La Salamandra, which used to follow it at 1800 has definitely been
canceled with its replacement El Guirigay continuing at that hour. Here`s the
new sked grill in UT +2: http://www.rtve.es/rne/r3/pr/parrilla.htm

** VENEZUELA [non]. Rechecking RNV CI via CUBA, 15290, Aug 31 at 1855, big
S9+20 carrier already on, slight hum especially when side-tuned. 1859:30 began
IS, and opening announcement mentioning today`s date, so a current show for a
change. BTW, EiBi doesn`t have this one yet, last updated Aug 22, but the RNV
broadcasts he does list are labeled M-F only; is this correct?
Answering my question of Fri Aug 31, no, the RNV transmission at 19-20 via Cuba
on 15290 is not M-F only, because there it was again on Sat Sept 1 around 1910
check, inbooming as usual (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. Just checking to see if 1181 carrier is still there, two weeks
after first report: yes, UT Aug 30 at 0608, along with ID from dominant 1180
station, ``La Bonita``. That would be ?maja, whatever the calls are now; a bit
too frivolous a slogan for Rebelde or Mart?. Another check UT Sept 1 at 0130:
yes, 1181 carrier still there and bearing still about 125 degrees from here

MV Baltic Radio - Birthday programme
Date - 2nd of September 2007
Time - 1200 to 1300 utc
On - 6045 khz
review:
Since 3 years we have been on the air each first Sunday of the month on short
wave.
Three years we have been broadcasting information from Mecklenburg- Western
Pomeranian
and music, which you can not hear on the normal mainstream Radio stations
today.
In our anniversary programme we hold reviews and play music which ran over our
station
in the last 3 years.
Of course we will give also information from Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.
Good listening and have a lot of fun.
