I used to regularly encounter it whenever we had a very heavy rain fall, it
would pin the S Meter regardless of frequency and come over as a howling
rumbling sort of noise. The noise level would decrease as the intensity of
the rain lessened.
There was another incident (not related), in my CB days when the noise level
was high for a number of days. It cleared after we had a moderately strong
earthquake.

DXAsia, the website that specialises in broadcasts to and from South Asia,
is about to be relaunched in a new style. The new version of the site will
tentatively go live on Christmas Day, 25th December, unless there are any
last-minute hitches.
DXasia will be fully automated, thanks to the hard work of Alok das Gupta's
son Abhishek. He's 20 years old, and is in his 2nd year studying for an MSc
at the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research in Calcutta. He
has a special interest in computing specially various language like Python,
PERL, Java, C++ etc. Abhishek has done all the programming for the new site,
which will enable Alok to manage the editorial process and update the site
directly from Calcutta to the Web server in London.
A new and very useful addition to the Home Page is the option to display all
the transmissions currently on the air, including all the frequencies, with
one click of the mouse.
Your reactions to the relaunched site are welcome to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I'm now off to the UK for Christmas, so if you're also celebrating I wish
you the compliments of the season.
Andy Sennitt

Kachin celebrate silver jubilee of RVA service in their own language
BANMAW, Myanmar (UCAN) : Kachin people in Myanmar's youngest diocese
are celebrating 25 years of a Catholic radio service in their ethnic language.
Radio Veritas Asia (RVA), the Manila-based short-wave station run by
Asia's Catholic bishops, has been airing its Kachin Service since
Nov. 15, 1982.
For the local Church celebration of the Kachin Service anniversary,
about 500 Kachin Catholics on Nov. 18 crowded into St. Patrick's
Cathedral in Banmaw, Kachin state, 840 kilometers north of Yangon, as
did Kachin Catholics in other diocesan parishes that same day.
Bishop Raymond Sumlut Gam of Banmaw heads the diocese that had been
carved out of Myitkyina diocese in August 2006. The two dioceses
cover Kachin state.
The Kachin Service programs, broadcast 6:00-6:27 each morning and
7:00-7:27 every night, discuss the Bible, health, youth and
education, satisfy song requests, and provide local and international
news as well as information on the saints. The programs also deal
with traditional Kachin customs and include a question-and-answer
session, Church news, homilies and Gospel readings.
There are about 1.2 million Kachin, living mostly in Myanmar's Kachin
state but also in China's Yunnan province and northeastern India. The
Kachin are a major ethnic group that includes subgroups of Jinghpaw,
Rawang, Atsi and Lisu.
According to the Myanmar government, 57 percent of its Kachin are
Buddhists and 36 percent Christians, and the rest have other faiths.
The Catholic Church says there are about 100,000 Catholics in Kachin state.
One of the Catholics who told UCA News how listening to RVA has
helped them is Marta Mary Kaw, 60, secretary of the Women's
Association in St. Patrick Cathedral parish. She said she became a
more understanding and considerate mother to her children after she
began listening, and "I now switch on the radio so the children can
also listen to the youth program."
U La Ja, another St. Patrick's Cathedral parishioner, said even his
non-Catholic neighbors listen to and appreciate the Kachin Service.
He related that a woman told him she feels privileged to listen to
RVA and asserted that though Catholic nuns are unmarried, they give
very good advice about marriage.
Fellow parishioner Nang Lum said that when she was assistant
catechist on Sundays in the hilly regions, she took along her radio
so others could listen.
Zing Htung Gam, from St. Bridget Church, said the RVA programs have
taught him to work with others to accomplish a task effectively. This
has become his motto for life, he added, and it has worked very well for him.
Archbishop Paul Zinghtung Grawng of Mandalay, who visited the
diocese's St. Patrick's Church in Momauk, told people at the Mass,
"We can share love with each other after listening to the love of God
from Radio Veritas Asia."
RVA's Burmese, Karen and Kachin services regularly attract more than
a million listeners. The Burmese Service has at least 600,000
listeners, the Karen Service more than 300,000, and the Kachin
Service more than 200,000.
The Burmese Service has been on air since Nov. 13, 1978, and the
Karen Service began a few months before the Kachin Service. A
Zomi-Chin language broadcast for several tribal groups in India and
Myanmar began in 1996.
Father Francis Lum Dum, a priest of Myitkyina diocese, launched the
Kachin Service and ran it single-handedly for two years until 1984
when two nuns began to help him put the Kachin Service together.
Today, a priest, a nun, a brother and one laywoman work for the
Kachin Service in the Philippines.

Shortwave coordination to continue with ABU meeting
(21-Dec-07)
A key conference on global shortwave coordination will be held in
Kuala Lumpur on 4-8 February to try to resolve many of the potential
interference problems likely to affect shortwave transmissions.
The conference is hosted by United Kingdom-based VT Communications on
behalf of the High Frequency Coordination Conference (HFCC), the Arab
States Broadcasting Union (ASBU) and the ABU.
A completely new database of frequency requirements for the shortwave
radio broadcasting season from 30 March to 26 October 2008 will be on
the agenda of the Kuala Lumpur conference.
During the week-long conference, delegates will try to resolve, by
mutual coordination, many of the potential interference problems
likely to affect shortwave transmissions in the "A08" joint global
broadcasting schedule.
Presently, a single global seasonal database of seasonal frequency
requirements, compiled by the High Frequency Co-ordination Conference
secretariat, assists in the coordination process.
Shortwave broadcasting has a unique position in that the radio
channels used by international stations are not assigned, but
regularly coordinated for two seasons each year.
The coordination system is designed for efficient and economical use
of the shortwave spectrum and the improvement of reception of
shortwave radio broadcasting worldwide.
