I normally restrict my bog to items covering shortwave, but I have posted a
story this evening on today's fire at KREX TV in Grand Junction, Colorado.

Bolivia, 3310, Radio Mosoj Chaski, 1033-1040 Noted a male and female in Spanish
language comments. Tuning in earlier would have been more rewarding since the
signal at this time was threshold and on the point of disappearing. (Chuck

Bolivia, 4732, "Radio Universitaria, 1046-1105, Surprised to hear this and so
well since it's
late. The clear signal doesn't remain for long. Noted typical and local music
(flutes and drums) from tune in. At 1058 canned promos or ADs. Signal has
decayed from fair to threshold at this point in time andany attempt to hear
more
details would be futile. Noise takes over by 1105. (Chuck Bolland, January 21,

The Shortwave Report 01/18/08 ?Listen Globally!
by Dan Roberts ( outfarpress [at] saber.net )
Thursday Jan 17th, 2008 5:47 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 (January 18) 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- China and India have signed agreements on bilateral ties and
agreed to work out their border dispute. The IAEA says that Iran will answer
all questions about its previous nuclear activities and centrifuge
development. The 3 Gorges hydroelectric power plant will be fully
operational by the end of this year. The UN environment chief praised
China's decision to limit the use of plastic bags at stores. China says it has
become the fastest forestry regrowth nation in the world.
>From NETHERLANDS- China has become quite popular among African
nations, partly due to Chinese investments in developing nations and partly
due to its newer non-dictatorial image. At sea, two anti-whaling protesters
from the Sea Shepherd group have been held captive aboard a Japanese
whaling vessel. A report states the migratory birds and waterfowl will
disappear from all of western Europe by the end of this century due to
climate change. US Secretary of Defense Gates criticized NATO forces in
Afghanistan of being unprepared to fight a guerilla insurgency.
>From CUBA- US military officials have announced increasing US troops in
Afghanistan to the highest level since the original invasion. The US Court of
Appeals has ruled against a lawsuit brought by 4 British men who were held
in Guantanamo prison for more than 2 years and then released without
charges. 19 Palestinians were murdered by Israeli troops in a single day this
week, the worst massacre in over a year.
>From RUSSIA- A 3 day period of mourning for Palestinians killed recently
has been proclaimed in the country. The first Forum For The Alliance Of
Civilizations has concluded in Madrid- the purpose is to encourage
understanding between the West and Islam. A commentary on decades of
US aid to Pakistan, why it was given, and what the results have been.
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 (PST) 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(PST)
The Shortwave Report may be downloaded as a podcast from <
http://www.radio4all.net/podcast.php/.xml?series=outFarpress%20presents > 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!

RTE to cease broadcasting Radio 1 on the medium wave service from
March
http://www.independent.ie/national-news/rte-to-cease-broadcasting-radio-1-
on-the-medium-wave-service-from-march-1269701.html
Sunday January 20 2008
RTE has announced that it is to cease broadcasting RTE Radio 1 Medium
Wave (MW) service on March 24. It is believed the move will save the
station up to ?1m a year in maintenance costs.
RTE said the MW technology offered poor value for money, was
environmentally unsound and out of date.
The station will transmit Sunday Mass on LW 252, a service formerly
broadcast on MW.

Hello amigos:
Thanks to all who sent so nice reports about the 11750 kHz broadcasts
from 20 to 23 hours UTC.
Yes you heard Arabic during the first half hour, and it was RHC !!!
The Spanish language program " Revista Iberoamericana" is from 21 to 23
hours UTC.
As regards to the antenna in use, it is an HR 4, 4 , 1,0 curtain array
with the center of the beam to 040 degrees, and the beamwidth for
the - 3 db points of the horizontal pattern should be at + and - 17
degrees or so to each side.
Nevertheless, the -6 dB points are well into North America, and taking
into consideration that the 11750 kHz channel is reasonably clear,
the programs should be easy to pick up from Central and Eastern North
America.

** CHINA [non]. CRI, Portuguese to Brasil via Chile, or Commies via Christians,
Jan 21 at 2153 on 17645, nice Chinese music, YL announcer with heavy accent;
2156 transmission schedule, but this frequency not mentioned. In a fade, I
thought they said 17625, but looking up
http://portuguese.cri.cn/101/2006/05/11/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
it claims they are on 17615! 17645 was noticeably weaker at 45 degree azimuth
than 17680 in CVC Spanish from the same Calera de Tango site at 0 degrees. The
latter is constantly heard, sometimes very strong, just about any time during
its long daily span 1100-0100 --- well, at least during daylight hours here
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. Checking Jan 20 for the d?but of RHC`s Euro service: at 2020 UT check,
11750 quite weak in Portuguese, so guess it is really aimed off some 90 degrees
from OK. Also same in Spanish at 2110. By then much stronger secret English
broadcast was still running on 11760 // as usual much weaker 9505. However,
11760 is bothered by 315 degree beam from WHRI 11765, which gave 11750 the edge
on Jan 21 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
Earlier, monitored the 49m channels around 0700 Jan 20. At 0700, 6000 briefly
announced ``El programa Zarzuela y Opereta``, presumably from the R. Musical
Nacional network feed, time check for 2 am, but modulation then cut off, to
open carrier. At 0701, 6000 resumed same music it had been playing before that
announcement, and finally at 0702 RHC IS and opening the Esperanto service, as
scheduled UT Sundays only. They really need to work on smoothly switching
network feeds. At 0702, 6180 was still on with carrier, while 6060 was off
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ECUADOR. Found another airing of Conozca el Ecuador, which was not on HCJB`s
Spanish schedule the last I checked ? Monday Jan 21 at 2230-2300 on 12000. This
show plays more folk music than talk. Started with two pieces, one vocal, one
instrumental, then a feature on the craftswomen of Imbabura province. Music cut
off abruptly at 2259 for several seconds, apparently antenna change, as
stronger signal when it came back. Then timesignal and 2300 news. Per HFCC,
this is what happens in those few seconds off:
Until 2300 there is one 100 kW transmitter at 150 degrees.
After 2300 there are two transmitters, one 50 kW at 157 degrees,
and the 100 kW reverses angle to 330 degrees, now favoring us, spelt U-S (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INTERNATIONAL VACUUM [and non]. The second night of HAARP Moonbounce tests
was much less successful, probably due to diminished Earthly ionospheric
conditions. 6792.5, Jan 20 at *0629 started hearing carriers on and off, but
generally weaker than Jan 19, and could not hear echoes for sure. More QRM from
spoilers on nearby frequency such as at 0636, CQ DE WB --- but didn`t copy the
rest of the call. 0650 also noted occasional CW and SSB QRM before quitting
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PORTUGAL. The Caixa Postal & Dexismo show on RDPI was not heard Monday Jan
21 at previously scheduled time of 1848, as I brought up the webcast a few
minutes early. Then checking that date`s program schedule at
http://tv.rtp.pt/EPG/radio/epg-dia.php?datai=&dia=21-01-2008&sem=e&canal=5&gen=&time=
indeed it shows only at 0845 and 1418, and not at 0030 UT Tuesday either, and
also has the podcast icon, where we may also listen to it and the previous
week`s show, without really making it a podcast:
mms://195.245.128.30/rtpfiles/audio/wavrss/ati/41528_20699-0801211540.wma
>From previous experience, there is a lot of variation from one week to the next
in RDPI`s program scheduling, so who knows what will happen next Monday. At
least they post advance program schedules for each specific date, which is more
than can be said for many ISWBC stations.
A link to the show pop-up reminds that the presenter is Isabel Flora.
This week`s program was nothing but an interview with someone reminiscing on
the phone about Emissora Nacional; no mailbag, no DX. The new season`s first
show, dated Jan 14, was about the postal system, starting with a song; no
mailbag, no DX. It does appear the name of the show is rather misleading (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** VENEZUELA [non]. RNV via Cuba, 11680, Mon Jan 21 at 1509 tune-in during
heavily accented English segment, about relations with Italy, FARC; 1513 back
to Spanish with Ch?vez declaring that FARC and ELN should be considered
legitimate armed forces, not terrorists; playing the hostage release for all
it`s worth. Over co-channel which Aoki shows could be either BBC Arabic via
Rampisham, or KCBS North Korea --- but does not list RNV which has been there
for months as originally reported in DXLD! EiBi has all of the above, but shows
RNV as English during the first semihour, while that continues to be only
sporadic and unpredictable (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###
