Hi Mika, hi all,
An addition to Mika's info: another DXpedition report has just been added to
the site dxsignal.ru. See it at the following location:
http://www.dxsignal.ru/read/kad_2007e.htm
It is a mini DX pedition (just several hours spent in the outskirts of the
city); nevertheless, we had some interesting catches. We'd appreciate any
help in solving our UNIDs (they are mainly Chinese MW stations).
Mika, you're welcome to add a link to our KAD-2007 page from dxing.info!

Hi,
When searching for VOIRI English programme, aiming to listen to an interview
with yours truly in the Mailbag program, I didn't find them on the scheduled
6265 kHz via Sitkunai, but on 6225 kHz via unknown transmitter (maybe Sitkunai
as well?). Not too good reception, so I changed to their own scheduled
frequencies from Iran, i e 6010 kHz. I believe that they are transmitting all
the package, French, German and English (19.30-20.27) on 6225 kHz, but I
haven't been able to check it yet!

Japan donates HF radio to tsunami victims
http://www.reliefweb.int/rw/RWB.NSF/db900SID/SODA-
7947J8?OpenDocument
A total of 200 portable radios were donated to villages in the Western and
Choiseul provinces.
The donation of radios came from Japan through the Honorary Consulate of
Solomon Islands in Mr. Tsuguto Kitano.
Mr Kitano is in charge of the Honorary Consul of Solomon Islands in Japan
for 17 years since 1990.
The people Japan kindly donated the 200 radios after learning the
disastrous earthquake and tsunami that hit the Western parts of the country
on April 02, 2007.
They tried to do what they can do and were able to contact the Honorary
Consulate of Solomon Islands in Japan.
In Japan, there were lot of earthquakes also and the people there knew how
miserable it was.
Many people in Japan worry about the people who were suffering from the
earthquake and tsunami that hit these two provinces.
For that reason, the Honorary Consulate set up Disaster Council for the
Earth and Tsunami as a gateway for the donors.
After consideration with the people concerned, they decided to supply this
useful emergency radio in case that similar situation will occur again.
The radios were shared equally among the two provinces with 100 radios
each.
The radio can be used for 60 minutes using AM frequency, 40 minutes using
FM frequency, and 15 minutes of light without dry battery by just one
minutes of rotating the handle of the built-in power generator.
It is very useful in remote places where dry cell batteries are not readily
available. If in case a similar disaster is to happen again, the people can get
information and warning at once from this radio.
The people of Japan are hoping that these radios will ultimately serve its
purpose for the people of these two provinces.

Thanks for Listening: The History of Australian Radio
Robin Oliver, reviewer
November 18, 2007
Advertisement
If the great days of Australian television have faded into the doldrums of
reality, only now to begin a creative revival considerably nudged by the
subscription channels, then this enchantingly nostalgic five-part history of
Australian radio will have immense appeal.
For one thing, the surprise is in how much of the flavour of the early days of
Lux Radio Theatre and Caltex Theatre, Police Files and Randy Stone's
Nightbeat have been captured and restored from newsreel film. No more
than a taste, perhaps, but as Noeline Brown and Ita Buttrose remind us in
the first episode, listening to the radio was something people used to do with
remarkable intensity. They would stare at the receiver, while - as we can still
see in gorgeous clips - smartly dressed actors crowded round a single
microphone stirring listeners' imaginations in the formidable era of the radio
play. The youngsters in the Buttrose family would, if their parents were safely
out of the house, turn down the lights and do crazy things with the furniture
as they allowed scary radio mysteries to shiver the timbers of their minds.
Don't miss this show, introduced by Mike Hammond, for it is crammed with
delights that bring back the days of the great Jack Davey, whose nationwide
audience numbers have never been exceeded. The opening credits
perfectly catch the mood and are alone worth the price of admission.

Somali mayor orders human rights group to shut down
The Associated Press
Monday, November 19, 2007
http://www.iht.com/bin/printfriendly.php?id=8389208
MOGADISHU, Somalia: The mayor of Somalia's capital has ordered the
country's oldest human rights group to shut down, the group's chairman said
Monday.
Sudan Ali Ahmed said his group was accused of spreading "exaggerated
and false information" about the country's fragile government.
Mogadishu Mayor Mohamed Dheere ordered Elman Human Rights, an
independent Somali group, to close its offices on Oct. 8, Ahmed said, adding
he had waited more than a month to go public as he tried and failed to reach
senior government officials.
The Associated Press obtained a copy of a letter from Dheere in which he
orders Elman officials "to stop your ongoing business ... for security
reasons."
Dheere could not immediately be reached for comment as his cell phone
want unanswered. Others government officials were also not immediately
available for comment.
"I'm a wanted person," Ahmed said by phone from an undisclosed location in
Mogadishu. "Government soldiers are searching for me everywhere. I stay in
different places in the capital. The world should stand up and intervene to
save Somali people from their own government that abuses the basic rights
of its citizens."
Elman Human Rights has 116 staffers who work across the country. The
group has tracked the killings of civilians during Mogadishu's near daily
violence this year and has also reported on violations in recent years.
Several human rights groups have accused the government, insurgents and
Ethiopian troops of committing abuses.
Ethiopia came to the aid of Somalia's fragile government in December to
rout an Islamic group called the Council of Islamic Courts. The Islamic
group's fighters then threatened an Iraq-style insurgency, and thousands of
Mogadishu residents have been killed this year in the capital's near daily
round of gunbattles, grenade and mortar attacks.
In a separate development, the four local radio stations left broadcasting in
Mogadishu said on Monday that they would go off the air for 24 hours in
solidarity with other radio stations closed by the government, to "pressure
the government to allow them back on air," they said in a statement. The
broadcasters are Voice of the Democracy, Voice of the Quran, Somaliweyn
and HornAfrik.
Last week, the government shut three private radio stations for allegedly
airing inflammatory broadcasts and ordered all media houses in the country
to seek registration or face closure.
Somalia has not had a functioning government since a group of warlords
overthrew dictator Mohamed Siad Barre in 1991, then turned their heavily
armed supporters on each other.

Mogadishu Broadcasters Go Silent to Protest Government Crackdown
http://www.voanews.com/english/2007-11-19-voa27.cfm
19 November 2007
Broadcasters in the Somali capital, Mogadishu, have gone off the air for 24
hours to protest a government crackdown on independent media.
The four local radio stations still operating went silent Monday. Their
directors say they want to show solidarity with three other stations the
government shut down last week.
Authorities have accused Radio Simba, Radio Banadir and Radio Shabelle
of making inflammatory and anti-government broadcasts. The government
has also ordered all Somali media houses to register with the government or
face closure.
Media advocacy groups like Reporters Without Borders have strongly
criticized the moves, saying the government is trying to censor unwelcome
news.
The closed stations have reported regularly on the violence in Mogadishu
between insurgents and Ethiopian troops backing the Somali interim
government.
The fighting over the past 11 months has killed thousands, and prompted
hundreds of thousands more to flee the Somali capital.

Somalia: Mogadishu radio stations begin off-air strike
Mon. November 19, 2007 01:09 pm.- By Mohamed Abdi Farah. - Send this
news article
http://somalinet.com/news/world/Somalia/13710
(SomaliNet) The independent privately owned radio FM stations operating in
the Somalia capital Mogadishu on Monday announced to stop broadcasting
for 24 hours in protest of the media purge after three of the main
broadcasters were shut down by the transitional government.
The off air strike started on later today at about 3:00 pm local time,
according to the mangers of the FM stations who had meeting in Radio
Banadir headquarter north of Mogadishu.
The media officials said they had media the decision after the government
troops shut down Shabelle, Simba and Banadir radio stations for their
journalist work.
The move came as the government officials in Banadir province demanded
the off air radios to make apologize for their wrong doings against the
national security as the government claimed.
More than ten FM broadcasters operate in Mogadishu, the most volatile city
in Somalia as the most popular stations seen by the current government as
giving propaganda to the insurgent groups. ________________________

** COLOMBIA. Marfil Est?reo, 5910.0, free of co- or adjacent-channel broadcast
QRM at 2350 Nov 19 with nice lively ballads, 2353 timecheck for 6:52, only one

transmission schedule in English, arranged by target area, and followed at 2330
by English, while the 2300-2327 broadcast is scheduled in French. So maybe the
language of the 3-minute schedule summary between broadcasts matches the
transmission which follows rather than the one which precedes, despite the fact
that relays such as WRMI wind up broadcasting 3 minutes of irrelevant French
after 27 minutes of English. Then I checked 6000 at 2330 and found R. Praga in

** ETHIOPIA [and non]. WHRA was gone again from 15665, Monday Nov 19 at 1427,
so it must be a Sat/Sun thing only, and no longer QRMing DW`s new Amharic
frequency via Rwanda, 15660 --- and there was no jamming audible on it this
time either. DW`s other frequency, 15645 via Sri Lanka, did have noise jamming
on it and no DW audible at 1447. At first I thought 15660 might have some
co-channel audio again, but could not detect any at 1447 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** KOREA NORTH. KCBS, 9665, mostly-noise transmitter audible here not only
mornings but evenings, such as 2315 UT Nov 19; bits of audio mixed in. I can`t
imagine why the Korcoms keep this piece of garbage on the air 22 hours a day.
Does not even serve a jamming purpose as nothing else in Korean on 9665 or
neighbors, per Aoki/NDXC. China does use 9665 several hours in external and
domestic services (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SPAIN. We had Radio Waves, the not-really-DX program on REE, on the schedule
as UT Wed 0024v on 6055, but Wolfgang B?schel found an English program schedule
as of last March which showed it Monday on Eu/Af service, so repeated UT Tue to
NAm. Checking it out UT Tue Nov 20, interminable sillyballgame report was
airing instead, but RW finally started at 0032, and yes, they are still just
playing music, loosely related to radio. This time: Popa Chubby, blues singer
who had just appeared in Madrid on European tour, with ``Real Thing``, which
the host said was more anti-TV than pro-radio. After some searching, I found a
Youtube version from Paris:

Doesn`t do anything for me, but there you are (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** TURKEY [and non]. V. of Turkey, English to NAm on 5960 is not working too
well; Nov 19 at 2345 Turkish music badly squeezed between the Dentro-Cuban
Jamming Command, grinding on 5955 against non-detectable R. Rep?blica from
secret site --- have they moved? And RHC Creole on 5965 with some splatter
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. I can no longer say I never hear a US SW station, government or
private, playing the Star Spangled Banner. Ran across it on WTJC 9370, Mon Nov
19 at 2320, choral version, and including second verse, ``O Thus Be It E`er``,
because that asserts ``In God is our trust`` until 2323 and immediately into
some ordinary hymn. Certainly an odd time to be playing the NA, maybe just a
fluke and not repeatable, but check again at this time of day (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** VENEZUELA [non]. RNV CI via Cuba, 13680, Nov 19 carrier was already on air
at 2255 with squealing the only `modulation`, worst when tuning to the edge of
the signal. 2317 recheck was in ``Contacto con los Diexistas`` mailbag, from
Japan, Cuba, then explained SINPO; and UTC as the same as ``Tiempo Civil`` or
``GTM`` as I`ve heard them do before, ending segment at 2320 with a gmail
address, I think just [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** WESTERN SAHARA [non]. Since I didn`t hear R. Nacional de la RASD the day
before at all a few minutes before 2400, checked 6300 earlier Nov 19 at 2333
and it was there; tried to hear Spanish, but brain would not lock into Spanish
mode, and decided it must be Hassania, rather than Hassania-accented Spanish.
At 2401 recheck, however, definitely in Spanish ending ``Opini?n`` commentary
saying that Spain should be part of the solution to the conflict. 0002
sign-off, anthem played by off-key band to 0003 Nov 20 and carrier stayed on a
while longer (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###
