Happy New Year to everyone among you !!!
I know I may seem a tiny bit too strong on the passionate side of the things,
but I wonder if any of you ever heard of "AVENTURE FM", maybe during a trip to
Paris circa 1987-1988-1989...
They were one of the first French radio stations to broadcast features about
acomoclitism, back in the late 80s.
They were also featuring a highly eclectic, badly astonishing and unpredictable
musical mix, consisting of ETIENNE AUBERGER, ETIENNE ADAHO, JOHNY CLEG, MORY
KANTE, BANANARAMA, ART OF NOISE, TRANSVISION VAMP, BOY GEORGE, LIANE FOLY,
CAROLINE LEGRAND and a whole lot more...
The jingle package was hugely astonishing: industrial, yet highly melodic
jingles with a bunch of enjoyable musical notes every second. Over that
instrumental jingles, a guy was saying "?coute sur ?coute sur Aventure FM".
If anyone is having any airchecks of these guys, please feel free to e-mail me
at [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Even if you picked up Aventure FM via e-skip during the summers of 1988 or 1989
(it is saddenly missed since the 23rd of October of 1989), and the e-skip tapes
has a bunch of fadings or is simply short (just a jingle), feel free to contact
me. I'm giving you all my DX conditions Radio Coro 780 Venezuela airchecks
(many of them are unscoped) if I receive just a couple of dozens of minutes
from the best station the Earth ever saw, Av-av-av-av-av-aventure !!!!!!!!
May the good DX be with all of you !
May all your wishes turn into truth during the upcoming year of 2008 !
Bogdan Alexandru Chiochiu
Btw. I: If you are having any AVENTURE FM recordings, please feel free to
contact me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] I'm crazy in love with that awesome French
radio station.
Btw. II: It used to broadcast in Paris on 105.9 MHz VHF FM Stereo, Lyon 95.7
MHz VHF FM Stereo, Chamb?ry 91 MHz VHF FM Stereo, Grenoble 96.9 MHz VHF FM
Stereo, Reims 90.5 MHz VHF FM Stereo and 2 or 3 more QRGs ! That being said, it
was far from being a local outlet, outlet it didn't really broadcast
nationwide, let's say Aventure FM was seminationwide !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

** CHAD. I`ve heard it too, no doubt, RNT reactivated on 4905: best 60m signal
by far outside NAm, Dec 26 at 0605-0620, mostly talk in uncertain language,
maybe part Arabic, part French, with bits of music. Nothing resembling an ID
heard. Mauritania might have competed if it were audible on 4845. Furthermore
the `4905` signal was a smidgin below frequency as others have reported minus
30-40 Hz or so; while I couldn`t be precise to two decimal places, I could tell
it was off, using the YB-400 simply by zeroing the BFO on WWV, and then
stepping from 4905 up and down 1 kHz. The het at 4904 was noticeably lower in
pitch than at 4906 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [non]. Tnx to a tip from Giampiero Bernardini, R. Rep?blica heard on
reactivated 6185 at 0240 check Dec 28 over DentroCuban Jamming Command. Must be
a fairly recent change, and we can say goodbye to any chance of hearing R.
Educaci?n, M?xico during this bihour. RR started B-07 on 6100 at 02-04, and was
there the last time I checked, having forced Vatican via Canada to move to 6040
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MAURITANIA. R. Mauritanie seems back up to full strength after missing a few
weeks, or on but with low modulation per other reports. Dec 27 at 0625, found
4845 with OM vocal chants predominantly at a single pitch, shifting irregularly
up or down a note. 0631 announcement by YL and the chanter (or someone else?)
speaking for a moment, then choral music. Roughly same level as Chad 4905.
However, Ndjamena is much further east than Nouakchott, by 31 degrees of
longitude, so propagation from 4845 should hold up about two hours longer than
4905. Nouakchott is 16 degrees west long., which should really put it in the UT
-1 timezone. It is further west than any part of Ireland, let alone Portugal,
lines up with eastern Iceland (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. KAIJ remains off the air from 9480 and 5755. On Dec 27, GM George
McClintock told me that the owner of Two If By Sea, Mike Parker, has not
informed him of his intentions for KAIJ, but he is currently working on higher
priority projects. He has not revealed to anyone when it will return to the
air.
George adds that it`s sad that KAIJ is off SW, since it was so successful in
Asia, getting a lot of mail for broadcasts in English, including from people in
China well-educated in English, and was just starting to broadcast in Mandarin.
George is not aware of any imminent sale of the station, despite rumors about
this.
For the time being the webcast is still running, altho it may not be updated.
WOR 1386 ran Thu Dec 27 at 1600 instead of the new 1388, or even last week`s
1387, but they have agreed to put the latest WOR on successive webcasts, such
as Fri 1200 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. The heavy Cuban-style grind jamming is still going on 15710
whenever checked in the daytime, such as Dec 26 at 1504. And also before 1500
Dec 28. Surprised I am the only one reporting this. The question is, what are
they jamming? A new clandestine, or a new daytime frequency for Radio
Rep?blica? Possibly those closer to Cuba in the skip zone would get more of the
target, if there really is one, and less of the jamming (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
