We had an unexpected local power outage for over two hours the morning of Oct
31, so instead of sleeping in, I couldn`t pass up the opportunity to monitor on
battery power without all the line noise we have been subject to. Most, but not
all of it was gone, resulting in a much lower noise floor. Unfortunately, it
was too late for much axion on the trop bands, but a number of 60m signals
could be detected around 1330 before fadeout, such as 4605, 4750, 4790, 4870,
4900, 4920. Also something in Spanish on 4820, which turned out to be 2-way
SSB, Mexican? riding along on an unID carrier.
** ANGUILLA. DGS was still audible on 6090 as late as 1335 UT Oct 31, tnx to
lowered local noise level during power failure, and even more tnx to the
scheduled switch to 11775 at 1000 being long overdue. Yes, nothing on 11775
then or as late as I checked, 1507, facilitating reception of NIGERIA, q.v.
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** AUSTRIA. 17610 at 1454 Oct 31, repetitious singing with primitive string
instrument, brief talk in unID language, some more music, cut off abruptly at
1458:30. This must be AWR in Afar daily via Moosbrunn as scheduled from 1430. I
wonder how many Afars aspire to be Adventists? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** CUBA [and non]. RHC normally has a huge signal on 13680, must be aimed
uswards, but Oct 31 at 1412 it was not enough for Fidel to overcome the ACI
from CRI via Sackville 13675. Commies vs Commies! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** GREECE. VOG keeps its options open with both 15630 and 15650 available much
of the day, but currently is on 15650 until 1550, then switching beams and
frequency to 15630 from 1600. Oct 31 at 1407, Greek vocal music on 15650
instead of 15630 as in A-07 season, easily IDed by // 9420 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GUIANA FRENCH. TDF DRM, 17870-17875-17880, Oct 31 at 1452, but it was not
there during an earlier bandscan at 1402. Maybe it has kept running, but on a
shortened schedule I hadn`t noticed. Per DRMDX sked, it is supposed to be 13-20
daily, and I think I have also found it absent in the 19 UT hour, and we know
it is intentionally only M-F.
DRM DX also shows azimuth as 363 degrees, which seems unlikely. Or does that
mean a rotatable antenna was past maximum clockwise position? Some rotors for
ham or TV antennas have a range exceeding 360 degrees, which is certainly
convenient (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDIA [and non]. AIR GOS, 9690, has an interference problem here, and surely
also in the SEAs target zone. Oct 31 at 1418, AIR in English with ID, slightly
atop hymns. KTWR Guam is scheduled in Korean after 1400 also on 9690 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. XEYU reactivated after a few weeks, and with better signal than
ever, Oct 31 at 0642 as I scanned the 31m band. Steady S9+20, during discussion
of NY and DF music and arts scenes; good modulation and no het, tho still
off-frequency around 9599.3. Rechecked during power outage at 1341 and also VG,
with relay of R. France Internacional during news hour. I keep hitting them
when they are not playing classical music (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** NETHERLANDS [non]. A reminder to North Americans who find RN`s morning
broadcast too early at 1200-1257: we can get fairly good reception of the Asian
service at 1400-1557 via Madagascar, now on its B-season frequency 12080, as
checked Oct 31 at 1509. // 15595 not checked.
The Talata station is the most distant major SW broadcaster from here, our
antipodes being further out in the Indian Ocean. The actual antipodes of Talata
is roughly halfway between Revillagigedo and BI Hawaii, so anyone sailing out
there should have great reception from Madagascar, all beams converging (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NIGERIA. 11770, Oct 31 at 1507, talking drums, then YL in Swahili with an
accent; good modulation and helped by absence of Anguilla 11775. V. of Nigeria
as scheduled in Swahili at 1500-1530, per Thorsten Hallmann`s Africalist
http://www.muenster.org/uwz/ms-alt/africalist/
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. Looked for MW harmonix during power outage, but nothing heard
beyond the usual locals, including on 2780 KCRC 1390x2, and on 2880 KGWA 960x3,
but KCRC audio was also audible under KGWA on 2880, which doesn`t make sense.
Lo noise also uncovered 3280, KFXY 1640x2, which I don`t normally hear; it is
10x the power of the other two in daytime, but probably at least 10x the
distance to site (Glenn Hauser, Enid, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PORTUGAL. DRM on 13585-13590-13595 at 1410 Oct 31 mixing with CODAR.
Interesting to hear two unwanted noises clashing; I wonder how CODAR affects
DRM reception, or vice versa. DRM sked shows this is DW Sines aimed east (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SAUDI ARABIA [and non]. The sparsely-occupied 16mb should be clear of
collisions, but we still have them: Oct 31 at 1402, VOA in English mixing with
a weaker station in Arabic. Yes, BSKSA Riyadh deliberately overlaps with VOA
Botswana for an hour at 1400-1500. Botswana aims north and Riyadh aims west, so
the real collision is in north Africa (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SUDAN [non]. Looking again for Miraya FM, 9825, Oct 31 on battery power. At
1356, open carrier with flutter, VOA Tinang about to come on, so did not try
again until 1500 as it was signing off. Heard an NHK-style timesignal, then
very poor signal with some singing, but nothing left by 1504. If Miraya is such
a big signal in Europe you`d think a bit more of it would reach here. Unclear
when Miraya hours will be corrected from 1300-1600 to 1500-1800, but in any
event, 1500-1600 should catch them either way. Whatever the site, IRRS now has
it on their schedule as 1500-1800 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** THAILAND [and non]. Checked R. Thailand`s English service on 9725 to As/Au,
Oct 31 at 1421. Quickly heard with ID, but only tnx to a long pause in the
discourse of DGS Costa Rica, with a much stronger signal. Fortunately, 9725 is
often down for days at a time; it had been off-frequency, hetting anything else
on 9725.0, but now it perfectly matched Udorn (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** TURKEY. VOT, IS at 1327 Oct 31, before English, found 12035 much stronger
than 11735. You never know which will be better from one day to the next (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. At least one of the WEWN transmitters puts out a constant squeal. (We
have discussed this before --- something to do with cards in the modulators
needing replacement), and it has been going on for years. Apparently WEWN
counts on highly-motivated listeners who will put up with it, or they just
don`t care. Currently at 1345 it`s 7540 with this problem, noted in Spanish Oct
31 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** VATICAN [and non]. At 1328 Oct 31 on 11740, two stations mixing about
equally, Vatican the one in Italian, and WYFR the one in French. Catholix vs
Protestants! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 11490, lite pulse jamming vs nothing, possibly a Cuban spur, but
it was at a slower rate than the heritage jammer on 11845, so not from that
transmitter; Oct 31 at 1352. Gone when checked a few minutes later (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 15054-15082, peaking around 15066, motorboating noise, 1405 UT
Oct 31. Perhaps a maladjusted Russian transmitter as Wolfgang B?schel
previously noted, but no intelligible modulation in the mix, and nothing to
match above 16 MHz (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

The Shortwave Report 10/26/07 ?Listen Globally!
by Dan Roberts ( outfarpress [at] saber.net )
Thursday Oct 25th, 2007 5:48 PM
A weekly 30 minute review of news and opinion, recorded from a
shortwave radio. With times and freqs for listening at home. 2 files-
broadcast and slow-modem streaming. Free to rebroadcast. China,
Netherlands, Cuba, and Russia.
Dear Radio Friend,
The latest Shortwave Report (October 26) is up at the website
http://www.outfarpress.com/outfarpress/shortwave.shtml in both
broadcast quality (13.3MB) and quickdownload or streaming form
(4.9MB) (28:59)
This week's show features stories from China Radio International,
Radio Netherlands, Radio Havana Cuba, and the Voice of Russia.
>From CHINA- The foreign ministers of China, Russia, and India have
been meeting to promote trilateral cooperation. In Thailand there has
been a call to lift martial law in the 27 provinces where it still remains.
The UN Secretary-General has called for the international community to
raise the effectiveness of aid to developing countries and fulfill the
promises they made in 2002. The Iraqi government said it will expel
Kurdish workers party, the PKK, from its territory, and help Turkey
crack down on them.
>From NETHERLANDS- Today, Thursday, the US imposed further
sanctions on Iran- here is an analysis from Monday when the head of
the IAEA said Iran was 3 to 8 years away from nuclear capability. The
US has proposed a new plan in the so-called "war on drugs," to place
pressure on Mexico where most cocaine passes through on the way to
the US. The Dutch government has decided to ban the sale of "magic
mushrooms," despite advisers that said a ban was not a good idea.
Next month there will be a Middle East peace conference in Maryland-
many Palestinians feel that this meeting will cause more harm than
good.
>From CUBA- According to the newspaper The Guardian, the CIA has
used the island of Diego Garcia as a secret prison- Diego Garcia is in
the Indian Ocean and is claimed by the British, who apparently gave the
CIA permission to use the military facilities. John Pilger made a
documentary about the British taking over the island- it is called
"Stealing a Nation" and may be viewed on Google Video.
>From RUSSIA- A commentary on the use of mercenaries in war, like
Blackwater in Iraq- it is estimated that between 25,000 and 50,000
soldiers of fortune are in Iraq now, and their functions will increase as
military troops are removed.
There is an article about the Shortwave Report by Cassandra Roos on
line at- http://www.campusprogress.org/soundvision/780/big-stories-
shortwaves
I was interviewed for an informative weekly radio show Mediageek,
available at http://radio.mediageek.net
All that plus times and frequencies for listening at home. It's free to
rebroadcast, please notify me if you're airing it and haven't notified me
in the last month, please mention the website if you only air a portion. If
you just want to listen and have a slow connection, try the streaming
version- lower sound quality but good enough and way easier if you
don't have a high-speed internet connection. If streaming is a problem
because of your slow connection, download the smaller file- it takes 20
minutes or less, and will play swell in any mp3 player application
(RealPlayer, Winamp, Quicktime, iTunes, etc) you have on your
computer.
This program will be aired on Friday afternoon at 4:30pm (PDST) on
KZYX/Z Philo CA, you might be able to stream via
There are several other streams that work better- <
http://www.freakradio.org >Freak Radio Santa Cruz now streams this
program on Friday at 9:00am and Monday at 5:30pm(PDST)
The Shortwave Report may be downloaded as a podcast from <
http://www.radio4all.net/podcast.php/.xml?series=outFarpress%20pres
ents > or iTunes (search for "shortwave" in podcasts)
Check out the amazing streams at < http://www.radicalradio.org >
And Radio For Peace International at < http://www.rfpi.org >
I hope you'll listen and air this if you're connected with a radio station. I
am still wondering how to get financially compensated for the 25 hours I
put into this program weekly- any ideas are appreciated. Any stations
rebroadcasting this (or listeners) are welcome to donate for production
costs. You can do so through the website. Many thanks to those that
have donated! No Guilt! (maybe a little)

Surfin': When "Radio" Was a Verb

This week, the wayback machine is idling and ready to take you back to
the days when radio was king.

You can hear one of the oldest, if not the oldest, recorded radio
transmission at Tinfoil.com, a Web site dedicated to preserving early
recorded sounds.
Last week?s Surfin? sparked a lot of interest in old time ham radio and
some readers wrote in to suggest other Web sites to check out in that
regard.
Scott McMullen, W5ESE, penned the following missive, ?You might
enjoy this recording from an Edison cylinder that is possibly the oldest
extant recording of a radio transmission. It's estimated (from the
content) that it was made in 1910.?
The recording is the June 2004 Cylinder of the Month at Tinfoil.com,
which is dedicated the preservation of early recorded sounds.
Al Wiemann, W3CE, wondered if I had seen the four minute ?W2ICE
and Spark Transmitters? video on YouTube. I had not, and am happy to
report that it is worth the watch and it includes a demo of a spark
transmitter; W2ICE is the call sign of the Electronic Communication
Museum Amateur Radio Club of Canandaigua, New York.
Stay tuned to YouTube because Bill Howell, N5ALO, clued me into
another gem -- a 10 minute short released in 1939 titled ?Radio Hams.?
This is a nostalgic look at Amateur Radio long before ?the War,?
television, home computers, video games, cell phones and moi. Check
out Clayton Moore, television?s Lone Ranger, in an uncredited role as
the ship?s radio operator. By the way, my editor thinks that the family in
this film should stop calling Jimmy for dinner and let the poor kid work
some DX.
Until next time, keep on surfin?. Editor?s note: Stan Horzepa, WA1LOU,
once owned a car that had a spark transmitter under the hood. To
communicate with Stan, send him e-mail or add comments to his blog.
By the way, every installment of Surfin? is indexed here, so go look it up.
