Radio Havana Cuba
Dxers Unlimited
Dxers Unlimited?s weekend edition for 15-16 March 2008
By Arnie Coro
Radio amateur CO2KK
Hi amigos radioaficionados ? welcome to the weekend edition of Dxers
Unlimited, from beautifully sunny Havana, Cuba. I am Arnie Coro, radio
amateur CO2KK, inviting you all to join me for about seventeen minutes
of on the air and also on the web time, plus the now regularly available
option of reading the scripts of this program by subscribing to one of
several Internet radio hobby mailing lists, including the Ontario DX
Association Yahoo mailing list .
Here is today?s show first item, that sounds like ditto from the mid
week edition of the program?Another week of very little solar activity
reported by scientists, who continue to sit and wait for the expected
increase in the number of sunspots from the new cycle.
So far, the new sunspots are not happening, and the daily solar
microwave flux continues to be at extremely low levels, registering
bottom low 69 units on Friday.
Item two: Now were just a few days away from the spring equinox here in
the Northern Hemisphere, and already we are seeing somewhat better
propagation conditions especially just after sunset local time. Item
three: Cuban radio amateurs are getting ready for the upcoming CQ Radio
Amateur magazine worldwide WPX contest, one of the most popular ones in
the world. The main reason for the popularity of the CQ WPX contest is
that it provides operators with a unique opportunity of increasing their
worked DX entities, so it is possible during the WPX contest to add
quite a few new ones to your log.
This Saturday at the Plaza Radio Club here in downtown Havana, I will be
meeting again with newcomers to the hobby that started to receive their
lessons in electronics, rules and regulations, radio wave propagation
and communications procedures last week. The training course is
programmed to last until May and the radio amateur operator?s tests will
take place in June. We call this training program by its own special
name, for us it is The Radio Amateurs Academy and it counts with
experienced certified instructors selected among the nation?s first
class operators, the ones that are on the air with the CO, the Charlie
Oscar prefix.
At the request of several listeners, let me repeat that Cuba has four
prefixes for its stations registered at the ITU, that include CL, used
or the beginner?s license, the CM intermediate class amateurs , CO used
for the first class licensees and the T4 prefix that is only assigned to
special event stations.
More information about our wonderful radio hobby here in Cuba and in the
world after a short break for station ID? I am Arnaldo, Arnie, Coro,
radio amateur CO2KK in Havana?stay right here on this same short wave
frequency or at our world wide web site that has English language
programming from 05 to 07 hours UTC? I will be back in a few seconds?
??
Yes, you are listening to Radio Havana Cuba, the spring equinox is
always a good time to start tuning around for new stations. Amateur
radio operators have now s yet another incentive to go on the air? the
new Clipperton Island DX callsign TX5C expedition is on the air, with
high hopes of making a good showing as the just finished Ducie Island
outstandingly successful DX expedition achieved.
As I have always told you here, amateur radio expeditions to put on the
air remote places are a great incentive for Dxers and the dream of any
devoted Dxers is always fixed at having the unique opportunity of taking
part on one of the real prominent DX expedition. During my half a
century long amateur radio career,I remember in 1994, when a group of
Cuban and American radio amateurs activated a special station to
participate in the American Radio Relay League summer VHF contest, the
ARRL most important yearly event devoted to the promotion of operation
on the VHF, UHF and Microwave bands.
The 1994 VHF contest entry of CO0FRC from the Bellomonte cliff
overlooking the Florida Straits with a great team of operators won the
first place for DX stations entering the event, and we were able to make
some firsts , like the first microwave amateur radio contact between
Cuba and the USA.. We did make a large number of two way radio contacts,
mostly on SSB phone, and at that time we had no digital modes equipment
available. A VHF contest taking place now, will require the use of
advanced digital communications modes, as they are becoming more and
more popular among participating operators.
Si amigos , yes my friends , oui mes amis, a corrected figure, several
reliable sources claim that the number of radio amateurs around the
world is now exceeding the three millions mark, and a great number of
them regularly enjoy communicating using their own equipment and
antennas, sometimes from the most unique locations, like from the
International Space Station orbiting the Earth, or from a yacht sailing
around the world under the helm of a single crew member or as I stated
here earlier while flying aboard an airliner cruising at thirty seven
thousand feet, something that only airline pilots that are also ham
operators are able to do? and let me add that many senior captains and
copilots that are ham operators, do it more often than what you may
think, because as a very good friend of mine that seats on the left hand
seat of wide body jets likes to say? cruising at high altitudes over the
world?s oceans can be really boring, due to the high degree of
automation of modern aircraft !!! Aeronautical mobile, from a hang
glider, a paraplane parachute or a wide body jet is equally enjoyable
and is one of the more than 80 ways that people enjoy amateur radio!!!
??
Yes amigos, we do QSL, we do verify well written and documented
reception reports, something that is very easy to do, you will only need
to send us an e-mail to arnie at rhc dot cu that includes the date,
time, frequency, signal intensity and short description of the program
content at the time you were listening. Of course that you can add
whatever comments you may think will be useful to us, and that?s the way
that Dxers Unlimited?s worldwide audience has helped to shape this show
so that it will be attractive to the most diverse audiences, from radio
experimenters to the beginner short wave listener that has just bought a
small portable radio and that today is listening to short wave signals
for the first time ever? You can also send your signal reports ,
comments and ideas on how to improve our programs , as well as any radio
hobby related questions VIA AIR MAIL to Arnie Coro, Radio Havana Cuba,
Havana, CUBA? and now here is our next item of the weekend edition of
Dxers Unlimited? Our very popular technical topics section of the
program now ranking third place among our worldwide audience?
By the way, ASK ARNIE is still la numero UNO, the most popular part of
the show, closely followed by the HF and low band VHF propagation update
and forecast, that according to your e-mail messages, postcards and
letters as well as on the air reports is extremely useful when hunting
for DX? and then in third place is this one, Technical Topics just
starting now? Technical topics today will be presenting a segment about
amateur radio operators that are adapting the now very commonly
available in many countries WI-FI microwave computer communications
systems for ham radio use. WI-FI frequencies are very near an amateur
radio band, making the conversion of that type of equipment fairly easy
for technically minded operators that are then able to enjoy high
quality local digital communications links with fellow amateurs at very
low cost and without the difficulties previously faced when attempting
to homebrew microwave communications equipment !!!
??
This is Dxers Unlimited?s weekend edition coming to you from sunny
Havana, where this Saturday many ham radio operators provided
communications support for the annual Terry Fox marathon race. The Terry
Fox event has taken place here for the past ten years and has become a
very popular race among runners that render tribute to the Canadian who
showed the world what a cancer patient could achieve with his
extraordinary will and persistence. The Terry Fox run is not a marathon,
because the longest distance that runners have to span is three
kilometers, but it does require the help of radio amateurs to coordinate
efforts within the route followed by the runners. Among the fifteen
radio clubs of our metropolitan area, one at every municipality of the
City of Havana province?a lot of enthusiasm developed to participate in
the Terry Fox run, as it provides an excellent opportunity to test our
readiness in case an emergency has to be dealt with. Weather here this
Saturday is simply gorgeous, with a clear blue sky , and the temperature
is expected to go up to almost 30 degrees Centigrade or 86 degrees
Fahnrenheit?At the Habana del Este Club that is one of the more
enthusiastic of them all, amateurs started to deploy their equipment at
around five o clock in the morning !!! The so called internal 2 meter
frequency , of each radio club will be the one used for providing
support to the Terry Fox run.? The internal simplex frequencies have
proven to be an asset because they do help a lot to develop local
communications between radio amateurs that live in the same area and at
the same time alleviate traffic from the 2 meter band repeaters. The
City of Havana province has als access to another long range repeater,
located outside the metropolitan area, The 145.470 repeater can be
accessed using handy talkies from locations that continue to amaze me,
despite the fact that it is about fifteen miles away from city center.
Many City of Havana radio amateurs use a portable J pole antenna
homebrewed from a short length of 300 ohms TV twinlead. It is a very
simple portable antenna for the two meters band FM transceivers of handy
talkies that helps to access the far away repeaters.
QSL on the air, si amigos, QSL on the air to the many RHC listeners that
have written to me asking for more information about Cuba?s AM and FM
radio broadcasting stations? So following the request, I will tell
continue this new segment of Dxers Unlimited with more information about
stations broadcasting from Central Cuba. In Santa Clara City on 840
kiloHertz CMHW , known to its listeners as LA DOBLEVE is now on the air
with a new solid state high energy efficiency transmitter that is
capable of 125 percent positive peak modulation. La DOBLEVE can be heard
not only in Villaclara province , but also in neighboring Cienfuegos,
Sancti Spiritus and Matanzas? And talking about Matanzas, the new
frequency for the provincial station?s main transmitter is 1060
kiloHertz, again Radio Veintiseis, from the center of Matanzas province,
with its new solid state transmitter on 1060 kiloHertz providing
excellent coverage of the whole of Matanzas province, part of Cienfuegos
and the southwestern area of La Habana province. The two new
installations form part of a program now in progress to upgrade the AM
medium wave band facilities by replacing the obsolete vacuum tube
transmitters with new energy efficient equipment that is also capable of
125 percent positive peak modulation, something that increases the
coverage of the stations as compared with what could be achieved with
the old transmitters.
..................................
And now amigos, as always at the end of the program, here is as always
and absolutely free, Arnie Coro?s HF plus low band VHF propagation
update and forecast? Solar activity is expected to continue at very low
levels, with solar flux between 68 and 70 units, but again, the equal
illumination of Planet Earth during the spring equinox will certainly
improve short wave propagation during the next three to five weeks
amigos? So, enjoy it !!!
See you all at the midweek edition of the program Saturday and Sunday
UTC days? and don?t forget to send your signal reports , comments about
the program and radio hobby related questions to arnie at rhc dot cu. Or
VIA AIR MAIL to Arnie Coro, Radio Havana Cuba, Havana, Cuba

Subject: [HCDX] India: FM radio will grow to a Rs1, 800 crore industry
by 2012
To: community radio <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1
India?s media and entertainment industry grew 17% to
reach Rs50,000 cr in 2007
Last year, which saw the biggest global players
testing waters in the Indian media and entertainment
sector, the industry grew 17% over the previous year,
reaching the Rs50,000 crore mark, according to a joint
report by industry body the Federation of Indian
Chambers of Commerce and Industry (Ficci) and audit
firm PricewaterhouseCoopers.
While the mainstream sectors such as print, television
and filmed entertainment continued to grow robustly,
emerging segments such as animation, gaming and visual
effects, radio, out-of-home advertising and online
advertising grew faster, although on a much lower
base. The report forecasts sustained growth for the
next five years, estimating that the industry will
grow to an overall size of Rs1.16 trillion by 2012.
The report predicts a cumulative growth of 18% for the
sector during the period.
?The industry has posted robust growth, in
fact, a couple of percentage points higher than
what we projected last year, which is a great thing,?
said Timmy Kandhari, executive director and leader of
technology, infocomm and entertainment and media
practice at PricewaterhouseCoopers.
Advertising, which contributed Rs19,600 crore or 38%
to the revenues generated by the media and
entertainment industry, grew 22% year-on-year in 2007,
the report says.
Foreign direct investment (FDI) into the sector surged
to $211 million (Rs854.55 crore), against $89.18
million in 2006. ?FDI will continue to go up in the
coming years,? Kandhari said. The year 2007-08 was
marked by the entry of media and entertainment
conglomerates?Viacom Inc., NBC Universal Inc. and Walt
Disney Co.?into India through partnerships with
Network 18 Group, NDTV Networks Plc. and UTV Software
Communications Ltd, respectively.
The television industry grew 18%, the only big sector
to grow at a rate above the industry average. The
report notes that digital distribution platforms such
as direct-to-home (DTH) are transforming the industry
as such addressable technologies ensure more
transparency and higher revenues from subscription.
The study said the number of DTH subscribers would
grow cumulatively by 44% every year over the next five
years. The high growth in advertising revenues and
emergence of new revenue streams such as from SMS
(short message service) are driving the launch of new
channels, the report says.
Print media?s growth in 2007 at 16% was lower than the
industry average and the report indicates it will
continue to grow below the average over the next five
years, as well. The report predicts the sector?s
cumulative annual growth rate, (CAGR), for 2008-12 at
14%, four percentage points below the industry
average. The report, specifically notes the increase
in regional language publications and the action in
the magazines space, with a slew of niche launches.
Filmed entertainment grew 14% on which the CAGR for
2008-12 is predicted at 13%. The report notes several
trends that are changing the nature of the industry.
Emergence of revenue streams such as mobile phones,
Internet, home video, merchandise, re-make rights and
branded entertainment as well as the advent of the
studio model of production will continue to grow
de-risking the business, the report says. FM radio
will grow to a Rs1,800 crore industry by 2012, up from
Rs620 crore now. When asked if the possibility of an
economic slowdown dampened the overall outlook,
Kandhari said: ?We have factored that in (the
report).?
?TV market to grow at 16%?
A Hong Kong-based independent research firm focusing
on Asia?s media and telecommunications industry has
made a slightly different projection for the Indian
television industry. The market will grow at an
average annual rate of 16% to reach $11.6 billion
(Rs46,922 crore) by 2012, Media Partners Asia said in
its annual report, ?Asia Pacific Pay-TV and Broadband
Markets 2008?. It said the sector will grow to $19
billion by 2017.
According to its study, the increasing footprint of
digitized distribution systems such as DTH will see
subscription revenues climbing from $3.8 billion
currently to $7.8 billion by 2012 and $12.3 billion by
2017. The number of digital pay-TV subscribers
including cable, DTH and Internet protocol TV, could
grow to 28 million by 2012 and 15 million by 2017, it
added.
While steady economic growth and increasing cable TV
penetration continue to boost the growth of TV
advertising, the study says TV?s share of the ad pie,
which in 2007 was 42%, will come under threat in the
long run from the growth of out-of-home media, radio
and online advertising. It said advertising on TV will
grow at an average annual rate of 19% between 2007 and
2012 to reach $3.5 billion and further to $6.3 billion
by 2017.

Hi friends,
I just uploaded a revised version of the Aconvert.exe application which is
Eibi's text file.
You can find it at http://www.orchidcitysoftware.com/IMAGE59.HTML
You'll need to download the zip file and unzip it. Once done, open
Aconvert.exe. Remember
that once you load the Aconvert.exe file, it will overwrite what you have
already on your computer
from the last version. If you want to save the older version, rename it and
put it in a new folder.
Contact me if you have problems. [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Shortwave changes in East and South-East Asia
http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/help/2008/03/080314_sw_asia_changes.
shtml
BBC World Service shortwave transmissions to East and South-East Asia
will be reduced on 30th March 2008.
Many listeners around the world no longer listen via shortwave and are
choosing instead to listen to radio on other platforms including FM, satellite
and online.
To ensure the BBC can invest in these and other platforms it is necessary to
reduce shortwave provision, while keeping our programmes available at the
key listening times for radio - in the morning and the evening.
Shortwave transmission will therefore cease between 10am and 5pm local
time and midnight and 2 am local time.
For details on BBC programme times where you are, please follow the link

hello all,
in the recent DXLD, i saw that Christoph Ratzer, Austria received a QSL from
Radio Madagaskiara. He used the BP 1202 address.
However, i have seen where folks have had their reports returned when sent to
the BP 1202 address.
see this site:
http://www.schoechi.de/af-mdg.html<http://www.schoechi.de/af-mdg.html>
On Radio Madagasikara, their address says BP 442.
see here: http://takelaka.dts.mg/radmad/<http://takelaka.dts.mg/radmad/>
Does anyone have the correct address ? or perhaps the post office in
Antananarivo put the letter in the now correct PO box regardless what the
number says.
can Christoph tell us which Boite Postal may be on the letterhead or envelope ?
thanks very much.
Steve Price

I'm currently in south Florida on business. Unlike most such trips, this one
included a weekend, allowing a bit of extra time for sightseeing Last
Saturday afternoon, I visited Everglades National Park, partly to see the flora
and fauna and partly as a daytime DXpedition of sorts. Most of my listening
was done near the Flamingo Visitor's Center, approximately 70 miles southwest
of Miami. Located near the southern tip of the Florida peninsula, it has a
clear salt water path to western Cuba. Cuban stations may be pesty
interference to DXers in the eastern US and Canada, but they're rare DX back
home in Seattle so I was genuniely interested in hearing them.
The receivers at my disposal included a Sony SRF-39FP and the radio in my
rental car, a Dodge Caliber. Most of my listening was done on the car radio,
but a fair amount was also done on the Sony, especially when it came time to
null out some of the strong stations. Here's a summary of stations heard, not
counting the stations in Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Naples, and most other south
Florida cities. The numbers in parentheses indicate the signal quality, with 1
being threshold audio and 5 being local quality. All times are local (UTC-4).
Most listening was done 1200-1600 LT, except as noted.

VOA and RFA Increase Broadcasts to Tibet
PRESS RELEASE - Washington, D.C. March 17, 2008 - U.S. international radio
broadcasts to Tibet will increase by four hours daily beginning tonight at
6:00 p.m. EDT, 6:00 a.m. local time in Lhasa.
"The violent crackdown by Chinese authorities in Tibet compels us to
increase our broadcasts," said James K. Glassman, Chairman of the BBG, which
oversees all non-military U.S. international broadcasting including the
Voice of America (VOA) and Radio Free Asia (RFA). "Our audience clearly will
benefit from these trustworthy sources of news and information, which differ
sharply from Chinese government sanctioned broadcasts."
At present RFA broadcasts eight hours daily to Tibet via shortwave radio.
VOA broadcasts four hours daily, also via shortwave. Each will expand radio
programs by two additional hours daily. VOA also will double its weekly
Tibetan-language television programming from one to two hours via the
AsiaSat 3 satellite.
"RFA's Tibetan service is working around the clock to bring authoritative,
breaking news to the Tibetan people. These additional hours will greatly
enhance our capacity to deliver this news, including live updates, to people
on the ground," RFA President Libby Liu said.
Tibet's media is tightly controlled and most Tibetans are deeply suspicious
of Chinese domestic media coverage. BBG audience research, while limited to
Tibetan refugees in Nepal, indicates that VOA and RFA are among the most
well known foreign broadcasters and an important source of information in a
society where word of mouth is the top way to share news.
"We know from experience that Tibetans will tune to VOA at pivotal times
such as these," said Danforth Austin, Director of the Voice of America. "For
example, a VOA special TV program about the Dalai Lama receiving a gold
medal from the U.S. Congress was recorded and widely distributed in Tibetan
regions inside China."

Voice of America Expands Swahili Broadcasts to Kenya
PRESS RELEASE - Washington, D.C., March 17, 2008 - The Voice of America
(VOA) has expanded Swahili broadcasts to Kenya to include an additional
half-hour each day.
"Providing reliable news and information to the people of Kenya is critical,
particularly during this time," said VOA Africa Division Chief Gwen Dillard.
"This shows once again how VOA can provide a valuable service to audiences,"
she added.
The expanded radio coverage will offer news from a network of stringers in
the region, interviews with a range of newsmakers including ruling and
opposition party representatives, political analysts, economists, local
residents, as well as U.S. officials, UN, EU and AU mediators and other
African leaders.
The service will also begin a new series called In Focus taking an in-depth
look at issues such as land distribution, the constitution, ethnic tensions,
national reconciliation and the future of democracy in Kenya.
The new program will be broadcast at 0930-1000 UTC, 12:30 p.m. local time
Monday-Friday, and at 1700-1730 UTC, 8:00 p.m. on weekends. Swahili
broadcasts will now run for a total of two hours each weekday and one hour
on Saturdays and Sundays. Visit www.VOANews.com/swahili for more information
