Lao National Radio external service available online:
(April 3, 2008)
The external service of state broadcaster Lao National Radio has now made
its English and Lao programs available on its website at www.lnr.org.la
The broadcaster has had some audio content available on its website for
some time, however consisting of just specific news items in English, Lao,
Hmong and French. This remains the case for the latter two languages, but
now the entire English and Lao programs for the current and previous few
days are available on demand.
It's not clear if the station still broadcasts on shortwave. Only their
97.25 MHz FM frequency is announced in the English program, but the 7145
kHz shortwave frequency is still mentioned in their 'About Us' page.

BBC celebrates launch of FM relay and new FM radio partnership in Cambodia:
(BBC World Service Press Release, 3 APRIL 2008)
The BBC will be reaching even more audiences with the launch of a new FM
and a new radio partnership. British Ambassador David Reader today signed
for the launch of BBC 99.25 FM in Siem Reap which will broadcast the BBC's
internationally famous radio programmes 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
The BBC are also celebrating an exciting new radio partnership with Love
97.5 FM who are now broadcasting the best of BBC World Service programming.
Neil Curry, Regional Business Development Manager for Asia Pacific region,
BBC World Service, said:
"We are delighted to be launching the BBC 99.25 FM station in Siem Reap
which means BBC programmes can now be heard in crystal clear quality all
day, each day of the week. I am also thrilled with our new partnership with
Love 97.5 FM. It's an exciting station and its listeners will now have a
chance to enjoy BBC programmes."
Listeners of the newly launched BBC 99.25 FM and new partner station Love
97.5 FM can enjoy a broad mix of BBC programming in English ranging from
news and current affairs to sports and culture.
Highlights include Newshour, which is 60 minutes of news and analysis of
the day's top stories, and the interactive global news programme World Have
Your Say, giving listeners an opportunity to share their views and
questions on topical issues.
For sports fans the BBC has daily hourly updates in news bulletins and
Sports Round Up. Cricket enthusiasts can stay across the latest in World
Cricket while football supporters can tune into World Football and for the
latest in UK football there is Inside The Premier League.
BBC programming also taps into the world's cultural scene including the
global music programme The Beat or the latest stories from the world of
film, TV and video games in On Screen.
Culture Shock looks at trends in cultural expression and Top Of The Pops
brings the best from the UK album and singles charts.
The launch of BBC 99.25 FM and the new partnership with Love 97.5 FM
complements the current BBC 100 FM relay broadcasting throughout Phnom Penh
in Cambodia.

Russian international radio starts broadcasting in CIS languages:
(April 3rd, 2008)
The Voice of Russia radio company, which broadcasts worldwide in 37
languages, has started broadcasts in the languages of CIS states, ITAR-TASS
reported on 3 April, quoting the company's representative Yekaterina Yagunova.
According to her, there will be half-hour daily programmes in native
languages broadcast to Yerevan (Armenia) on the 106 FM frequency, Chisinau
(Moldova) on 103.2 FM, Tashkent (Uzbekistan) on 100.5 FM and Osh
(Kyrgyzstan) on 102 FM.
The daily news and analytical programmes will be broadcast in Armenia,
Moldova and Uzbekistan at 2000 local time and at 2300 in Kyrgyzstan. The
broadcasts were made possible thanks to Voice of Russia's partner
broadcasters in these countries, Yagunova said.
ITAR-TASS also quoted Voice of Russia chairman, Armen Oganesyan, who said
that the company expects to widen the scope of its broadcasts in the
languages of other CIS countries, as well the Baltic states.

4.04.2008
Radio Free Asia?s Cantonese service took top honors at Hong Kong?s 12th
Annual Human Rights Press Awards.
It was saluted for its reporting on forced abortions that led to riots and an
official investigation in the southwestern Chinese province of Guangxi.
Fung Pui Shan of RFA-Cantonese won in the category of Chinese-language
radio broadcast. The prize was presented on March 29, and was given by
Amnesty International Hong Kong, the Foreign Correspondents? Club and
the Hong Kong Journalists Association.

The Shortwave Report 4/04/08 Listen Globally!
by Dan Roberts ( outfarpress [at] saber.net )
Thursday Apr 3rd, 2008 5:03 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 (April 4) 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- V 2000 delegates are attending talks in Bangkok in
preparation for the UN conference on Climate Change to be held in
Copenhagen in Dec 2009. North Korea has been criticizing South Korea's
new President for his pro-US policies. China's Ministry of Public Security
says they have proof that the riots in Tibet were orchestrated by the so-
called "Dalai-clique" and will evolve to disrupt the Olympic games. A crucial
NATO summit is being held in Romania this week.
>From NETHERLANDS- One of the most controversial agendas at the NATO
summit was the US Missile Defense program or "star wars"- the Czech
population is strongly opposed to the project- as of press time it seems that
NATO has agreed to go along with the development. Amnesty International
has warned that the Chinese government has increased human rights
violations on the way to the opening of the Olympic games.
>From CUBA- The Indian Foreign Minister advised the Dalai Lama to cease
political activities that could damage relations with China. The World Health
Organization criticized Israel for blocking medical care for sick Palestinians
in Gaza. The US Congress has authorized legal and environmental
exemptions to speed up completion of the wall along the US- Mexico border.
from RUSSIA- Russia is very unhappy with the US delivery of weapons to
Kosovo. A Gallup poll found that Americans believe Iran is their biggest
enemy, followed by Iraq and China. Russia will draft 130,000 young men into
the military in the next 3 months. A commentary on the US goals for NATO
expansion in Eastern Europe. Then a commentary on the US military
expansion into space, with bases in Alaska and California.
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!

Agree. No Safari or Firefox work on Mac OS X/Leopard (Flash and WMP both
installed). The one and single browser functioning was Internet Explorer on
my Boot Camp XP partition. And the audio is simply awful, in spite my
broadband connection. Extremely annoying, considering they did switch off a
"medium", shortwaves, which works like charm.

** ALBANIA. R. Tirana, 13640, April 4 at 1428 with IS, opening English. Roughly
equal strength to CVC Darwin on adjacent 13635, but much louder modulation from
Australia. RT was steady with some slow fades, while Darwin was fluttery.
Wolfgang B?schel says in Europe there are no clear frequencies higher in the
band available for Tirana at this time, just 13605. But CODAR would be worse
there (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also USA: WWRB
** AUSTRALIA. 11770, April 4 at 1514 with pop/rock music, 1515 Chinese YL
announcement, no QRM. This is CVC Darwin (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** BURMA [non]. As I tuned in 15480, April 4 at 1435, they said ``January,
2007``, but then switched to Burmese in phone interview. Still going past 1500.
This is Democratic V. of Burma, via Gavar, Armenia, daily 1430-1530 at 100
degrees (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. 9170, very weak talk, flutter, April 4 at 1341 on this way OOB
frequency. Per WRTH this could only be CNR-6, V. of Shenzhou, Beijing, 50 kW.
Aoki B-07 adds that it is at 162 degrees, and the schedule then was 2055-0105,
1100-1805, alternating Chinese, Amoy and Hakka (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** CUBA. Surprised to hear RHC in Portuguese on new 17740, April 3 at 2304,
with slanted news, typical sounders, so no ID needed, and nothing on ex-17705.
Totally unclear why they would need to move, as nothing else scheduled on
17700, 17705 or 17710. 17705 had been running from 2200 to 2430 in Portuguese,
Guarani and Quechua, so probably 17740 takes over all those hours, altho not
yet confirmed. Lacking any fundamental explanation, we must suspect RHC had to
move to avoid putting an harmonic onto a locally inconvenient VH frequency.
Is 17740 in the RHC
http://www.radiohc.cu/espanol/frecuencia/frecuencias-espanol.htm
schedule? Of course not! Nor does it show 12000 which we have been hearing
before and after 2300 colliding with HCJB. However, altho still dated to have
expired in March, they have made a change to show another recent new frequency
we discovered, 11680 as 0000-0500 in Spanish (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** GERMANY. 15470, April 4 at 1459 with convenient ID just as I tuned in,
``Bible Voice Broadcasting``, then music. This is the service via J?lich to
Sudan also heard April 3 without such a definite ID (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDIA. Unlike 24 hours earlier, April 4 at 1358 I could barely detect a very
weak carrier on 15050, so could not tell whether the AIR Sinhala service had
any modulation today (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** IRAN [and non]. Weak bubble jamming on 13850, April 4 at 1425 during Israel
Radio`s only remaining SW broadcast, in Persian which was a very poor signal
here. If Israel is serious about SW to Iran, they should put all available
transmitters on the air at this time, not just two which are bound to be jammed
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** JAPAN [non]. Today`s Angle on NHK World Network Radio Japan, 11705 via
Canada, April 4 at 1411 was a discussion of the ``General Erection`` in South
Korea, hee hee. Also heard on 13630 at 1427 wrapping up language lesson with a
series of Japanese syllables, almost synchronized with 11705, so can`t be
Yamata direct, but another relay: yes, Rampisham UK at 62 degrees.
Also came across nice slow Japanese instrumental music on 17735, at 1523 April
4, Japanese announcement at 1525. Nothing listed in PWBR `2008`. I figured such
a good signal would be Sackville, which uses the frequency later for RCI, but
it`s axually Issoudun, France, NHK relay at 15-17, 500 kW at 152 degrees to
Africa, off the back being 332 degrees. See
http://www.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/english/radio/shortwave/all.pdf
17735 was running about one word behind 9535 direct from Yamata (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KOREA NORTH [non]. R. Jordan still missing from 11690 where French and
English used to be, April 4 at 1513 --- just something in Korean mixing with
the RTTY, which would be one of the JCI clandestine transmissions from Japan
via Darwin at 3 degrees, but not sure which one. As in DXLD 8-029, when other
frequencies or sites were involved; this `enforcement group` sounds ominous:
``Japan Center for Intercultural Communications, JCIC is an enforcement group
of Furusato no Kaze on 9780 at 1600-1630 UT and Wind of Nippon / Ilubon-e
Baaram on 9820 at 1700-1730 (S. Hasegawa, NDXC, Sunday, March 02, 2008 via
B?schel, ibid.)`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KOREA NORTH [non]. 15710, Korean talk at 1352 April 4. The Gavar, Armenia
site is registered here, which recently started carrying clandestine services
to North Korea, but which one is this? There was no het, but a SAH from a much
weaker station, Cairo? As Wolfgang B?schel points out, WHRA is also scheduled
here, but it seems unlikely that Armenia would be the dominant signal here if
WHRA is really on. His recording at 1300 had a SAH of about 220/minute (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PORTUGAL [and non]. Once again this A-season, we have two
Portuguese-language services colliding on 15770, as noted April 4 at 1432, WYFR
on top with Bible lesson, over music and talk from RDPI, and a slow SAH between
them of about 75/minute. WYFR is 160 degrees to Brazil at 12-16, while RDPI is
82 degrees to ME and S Asia [as in Goa?] at 13-15 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** RUSSIA. VOR WS Moscow-area transmitter for Arabic from 1400, 13855, was
already on the air April 4 at 1349 with warm-up tones, on for 7 seconds, off
for 6 seconds --- or maybe 6.5 seconds each (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** SAUDI ARABIA. BSKSA, 15380, April 4 at 1354 with reverby Qur`an recitation.
Is that real from an enclosed plaza around the minaret, or enhanced in the
studio? It`s Riyadh HQS, scheduled 12-14, 500 kW at 310 degrees toward us.
Splatter from much stronger Cuba 15370 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. Looking for WBCQ on reactivated 17495, April 4 at
1503, found Brother Scare on 17485 instead, saying he is 75 years old and his
ministry could end at any moment; so has WBCQ shifted down 10 kHz? This had
equal LSB and USB, so must not be WBCQ. In fact, it`s ``Jew-lick``, Germany, as
BS pronounces it, where TOM is scheduled during this one hour only, at 160
degrees. 17485.0 ran 2.5 seconds behind WWRB 9385. Nothing on 17495 as WBCQ
operation is sporadic (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also USA WWRB
** SPAIN [non]. REE via Costa Rica, 15170, extremely strong S9+27, April 4 at
1355 with a bit of Bachianas Brasileiras, interrupted for a minute of dead air,
then came back asking for phone calls to their answering machine at
34-91-396-10-34; 1357 into singer in Brazilian just before closedown (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** THAILAND. R. Thailand, 11625 via Udorn, April 4 at 1330, HSK9 bells and ID
in Thai, fluttery. 11625 is on from 12 to 14, but changing among 3 different
azimuths ranging from 46 to 54 to 30 to 54 degrees (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** TURKEY [and non]. After our report that the Sackville relay was not in
English, UT April 3, glad to note that the correct English broadcast was
carried UT April 4 at 0300 on 7325. It was running 5 seconds behind the direct
broadcast on 5975, and this time 7325 held up with a quite strong signal past
0330, tho with considerable fading. Sometimes the broadcast runs almost 55
minutes, but this time it wrapped up at 0350, so we were treated to the VOT IS
piano variations until 0359* interspersed with some IDs in French in the last
two minutes.
>From a schedule received in the P-mail by Kraig Krist, here is the current
program schedule; since it does not explain its intricacies, it must be
annotated by gh from monitoring experience. The `later` programs are in a

There are two other mini-features appearing most days toward the end of the
hour, but ``may be withdrawn for time issues`` -- Did You Know That? and
Question of the Month. Other fillers are multi-lingual IDs and promotion of
essay contest (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. The self-absorbed Pastor Pete Peters, on WWCR 9980, April 4 at 1518
was wanting calls to 307-745-5913 from people who were hearing him evenings on
WWRB 5050 but not on other frequencies; IOW, is the additional expense of 5050
worth it? ``Our radio bill is huge.`` Also mentioned that KAIJ is off the air,
but he was surprised and how many new listeners he got there (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WWRB is still running 9385 past FCC-scheduled 2300 closing, April 3
at 2307 caterwauling as respite from Brother Scare screaming. Albania was
audible on the side at 9390, but too close for comfort (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WEWN on new 15855, April 3 at 1402 but marred by intermittent ute
noise bursts overriding. Some utility transmitter is pissed about this further
incursion into the fixed band. The tactic among US SW broadcasters is to try
it, and see if anyone objects. A more formal protest will probably be required
for any axion to be taken (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** VENEZUELA [non]. RNV CI via Cuba, 15250, April 3 at 2306 in English, YL
quoting Ch?vez in too-literal translation.
It seems like RNV CI via CUBA is devoting more and more time to English. April
4 at 1511 on 11680, found YL reporting on the government having acquired the
L?cteos Los Andes dairy in SW Venezuela, turning it into a socialist
enterprise, visited by Ch?vez (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

** CANADA. It`s clear that Sackville`s most decrepit SW transmitter is reserved
for the Northern Qu?bec Service on 9625. The modulation is seldom up to par,
and it was particularly bad April 5 at 2216 with a lot of distortion on peaks.
These converted into spur spikes ranging from 9635 to 9650, peaking at an open
spot 9640, which I could match to the distorted modulation peaks on 9625 on
another receiver. I guess that was during World This Weekend; recheck at 2246
during Master Debaters, things had improved and the spixes were not audible.
Did they tweak something, or does the unit go in and out of order all by
itself? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** COSTA RICA. It seems one of the three REE relay transmitters at Cariari de
Pococ? must always be one kHz low in frequency. April 5 at 2145 during expanded
weekend hours, sports was on 11814 with a het from something on 11815, //
17850.0 and at 2218 with music // 9765.0 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** CUBA [and non]. RHC observations Saturday April 5:
11750 at 2041 in Spanish, the new service to Europe, but with choral hymns
co-channel, SAH of 5 Hz; and at 2145 announcement by YL in Chinese, which is
KSDA, Guam, at 21-22. I suppose they don`t interfere with each other in China
and Europe, but they sure do here when FE conditions are good. OTOH, that 315
degree beam from Guam may well carry on into Europe, the other way round than I
am getting it; does it?
9820 already with strong open carrier at 2149 Sat April 5; 2159:30 began
modulating with a bit of music, no ID, switched to applause and into a session
of the S?timo Congreso de la Uni?n de Escritores de Cuba, including Ra?l Castro
himself. This is the special service // 6000 only, which on other days of the
week is designated Mesa Redonda, roughly 22-24 UT.
17705 at 2201 April 5 opening RHC Portuguese, another day back on nominal
frequency instead of 17740 where it jumped April 3.
12000 at 2207, 2251 and 2300 chex April 5, was not on the air, just HCJB with
no collision, unlike some previous days.
11800 at 2300, surprised to hear RHC opening in English, // usual 9550 but with
an echo between them due to different feed routes and/or transmitter sites. Per
the out-of-date schedule at
http://www.radiohc.cu/espanol/frecuencia/frecuencias-espanol.htm
11800 is supposed to end at 2300 after two hours of Spanish to Caribbean, as
well as Portuguese and Arabic to Caribbean (????) at 2000-2100. Probably they
did not get 11800 turned off on time, but I did not have a chance to check it
later in the hour until 2400.
I did make a quick check of other frequencies at 2300, and found RHC Spanish on
13760; French on 9505 // 5965 but an echo between them. It sure sounded like
regular French to me with opening newscast, but the schedule above has these
frequencies at 2300 and other times listed under BOTH French and Creole! (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ECUADOR. As I was looking around 25m for RHC anomalies, such as the previous
collision with HCJB on 12000, none of that April 5, but from 2252 tune-in I
listened to the Brazilian tribal language Kulina, which is on the schedule now
at 2245-2300 daily on 11920, 250 kW, 126 degrees. It used to be only 10 minutes
or less. Not surprisingly, the only thing I could understand was ``Mat?u,
Cap?tulo Dezoito`` mentioned by the preacher at 2256 and 2259.
Try to put yourself in the shoes(?) of an isolated people for whom the only
radio broadcast in their language is from missionaries dedicated to depriving
them of their original religion! I feel for the Kulina. According to the NIV,
subjects in Matthew XVIII are: The Greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven, The
Parable of the Lost Sheep, A Brother Who Sins Against You, and The Parable of
the Unmerciful Servant. Including verses 8-9 advising people to cut off their
hands and feet and gouge out one of their eyes. Yeah, sure. What good work HCJB
is doing. And are there sheep in the Amazon? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** EGYPT [and non]. R. Cairo`s new 11550 for the European language services,
concluding with English at 2115-2245 has a slight problem: it collides with 500
kW WEWN. And it`s off-frequency causing a het, roughly on 11550.1, slightly
wavering, which means the frequency of one of the transmitters is unstable, and
I`ll bet I know which one.
April 5 at 2158 found Cairo in English, tho undermodulated, was axually
dominating WEWN. At this time a YL was speaking in some kind of commentary but
could not axually follow it. WEWN ID in Spanish around 2200. Rechecked
periodically during the remaining semisesquihour, and situation remained about
the same. Cairo went off at 2245:40 leaving WEWN alone.
Except on its lowest frequencies, and sometimes even on those at night, WEWN is
normally a poor signal here, skipping over from only one megameter away, and/or
aimed elsewhere, and/or not really running 500 kW or even 350. WEWN is on 11550
all the way from 14 to 24 UT at 220 degrees toward Mexico, while Cairo is at
1500-2245, 315 degrees toward Europe (and North America). Is WEWN any problem
for it in Europe? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NEW ZEALAND. RNZI, 15720, fair ending ``Mediawatch`` program at 2134 UT
Saturday April 5, from RNZ National, saying it would repeat tonight. This one
qualifies for listings as a DX/Media program, so what are its exact times, now
that DST is over from local April 6? It appears nowhere on
http://www.rnzi.com/pages/schedules.php but so many blox are just labeled
``National Radio``, not very informative.
So we have to hunt thru the National Radio schedules, most convenient in full
week format at http://www.radionz.co.nz/nr/schedules/whole_week
which show it as a sub-program, Sunday at 9:10 am = UT Saturday 2110 and a real
program Sunday at 10:12 pm = Sunday 1012 UT. It appears to be 24 minutes long,
so current SW schedule is:
Sat 2110-2134 on 15720
Sun 1012-1036 on 7145
BTW, looking thru the RNZI program schedule in this format:
http://www.rnzi.com/pages/schedules.php?type=all&format=day
I was surprised to see fortnightly Mailbox at some different times than I had
thought: Mon 0730 and 1630 instead of 0830 and 1530 as had been previously
listed. Yet, other airings were the same as before, Mon 1130, 1330, Tue 0330,
and Fri 2035. Note than one of the shifts was an hour later, the other an hour
earlier, so were they really caused by DST? And are they about to change back?
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TURKEY. VOT ENAm service in English on 6195, April 6 at 2200 was inaudible
at the start, and just barely audible at the conclusion 2249 UT with
recognizable announcer giving schedule, and 2250 unmistakable IS. It`s only the
beginning of April shortly after equinox, and this can only get worse as we
transit thru solstice, with more and more light on the path, and more and more
T-storm noise. It`s already long before local sunset. Shouldn`t they be on 7 or
9 MHz? Fortunately we now have the repeat at 0300 via Sackville 7325, or even
5975 direct, better than this in CNAm, and also the 1230 broadcast to Europe on
15450 can be quite good, tho variable from day to day (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U K [and non]. Surprised to find adequate signal from BBCWS in English on
13865, April 5 at 1813 with documentary about China, human rights. A time I am
not often bandscanning; not // 17830. Per BBC Whatson schedule of BBC
streaming/Euro it`s:
``John Simpson Returns to China
1 of 2. As the world's eyes focus on China before the Olympics, BBC journalist
John Simpson recalls the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre.``
At closing 1829 they plugged Over To You coming up in 10 minutes. Nominal time
for that is 1840, but it used to really start 2 minutes later; I couldn`t stay
tuned to find out, even tho there was to be a discussion about BBC`s SW
cutbacks. Must get that later or ondemand.
Rechecked frequency on portable radio in the car at 1850, and audible even
thus, but not an hour later, so probably went off at 1900. What could the site
be? Surely nothing in the W Hemisphere any more. Looked up later, it`s
Rampisham, one of those remaining SWBCs to ``Western Russia``, but Ramp has a
way of giving us usable signals off the back of the antennas way over here in
CNAm, despite BBC`s best efforts to keep us from hearing WS on SW:
13865 1700 1900 29,30SW,40W RMP 500 62 1234567 300308 261008 D G BBC MER
And even in WNAm! In a delayed report, 13865 was also heard by Stewart
MacKenzie in CA the first day of A-08 until 1900*, with even better SIO 444
there.
So nice to hear anything at all on 13m; noted 21630 in French was by far the
strongest signal on band and the only readable one, April 5 at 1818. That`s BBC
via Ascension, 1800-1830 at 65 degrees. English on 21470 is now 13-17 at 114
degrees (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. Almost missed this quarter`s Capitol Steps comedy special, Politics
Takes a Holiday, April Fool`s Edition; just ran across the last part of it
airing on KOSU at 1700 UT Saturday April 5. Their schedule shows an awful lot
of stations, most of which don`t inform them of the airtimes, but three
webcasters are left, here converted to UT:
Sunday April 6 at 0400, KCHU Alaska
Sunday April 6 at 2200, WMUB Ohio
Sunday April 13 at 1200, WFDU, New Jersey [why delay? Pledge drive?]
Fortunately it`s also ondemand, downloadable via
http://www.capsteps.com/radio/
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. I logged it as 11830, April 5 at 1811, something in German, with
a fast SAH from another carrier, but looked up later in HFCC, nothing at all
scheduled on this frequency at this time. I suspect I was really on 11835: my
FRG-7 dial is a bit off in the 800`s, and I have to be very careful to line up
the parallax properly or confirm the frequency on a digital readout YB-400 or
DX-398 next to it. Because on 11835 we find in the ADDX listings by language
that Die Stimme der T?rkei has German on 11835 at 1730-1830, and Issoudun is
also on the frequency --- unless they both really moved to 11830, which I doubt
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 11835, April 5 at 2144 with ME music, lyrix ``Allah akhbar``, G
signal, still on at 2206 in Arabic talk, but weaker. Nothing listed, but I
suspect this is Algeria`s Qur`an service, perhaps an extension from the
1800-2000 listing for Issoudun on 11835 for southern Algeria and West Africa.
It`s sure hard to keep up with the correct current schedule for this (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

Dear Friends,
It's my pleasure to inform you the beta launch of DXinginfo Mobile site, at
http://wap.dxinginfo.com
Here you will find current hour ongoing English broadcasts, and also you
will be able to search the broadcasts in English by country / station or
start UTC time or end UTC time, even by frequency also.
Now a searchable index of almost all the sw English broadcast frequency &
times are under your finger tips on the move. Just you need a GPRS enabled
GSM Mobile phone set or Internet enabled CDMA mobile phone set to browse it.
Your feedback and suggestions are highly appreciated for this project. We
are also trying to add more features to it. Send your suggestions.
Thanks & Regards,

Quality problem - not really Andy.
But the loudness volume level differs tremendously between the various
language sections.
At present I listen to a nice Sefardi-Spanish song, taken supposedly from an
older tape recording - to be considered. Yiddish section playes some songs
from a CD recording at present(from yesterday night schedules).

** CUBA. If RHC followed its own schedule to the letter and number, and didn`t
constantly suffer from one technical problem or another, there would be little
to report, but its operations are never nominal, giving us a rich fount of DX
news. RHC observations early UT Sunday April 6:
At 0556, after catching Arnie`s propagation comments at the end of DXUL on
11760, I tuned to the upper limit of the 11-12 MHz range on the FRG-7, which is
approx. 12055, and was surprised to hear the Morse code closing of that show!
It was quite weak and nothing further heard. Must be a mixing product, but with
what? 11760 was very strong. I then tuned down below 11500 and guess what I
found? Another very strong open carrier on 11462, which would match 12058, 298
kHz above and below 11760, making 12058 a leapfrog. I suspect 11462 is a Cuban
spy-numbers frequency, altho I get no hits on it at the UDXF yg; perhaps I
would at ENIGMA. Anyhow, there were no numbers, but at exactly 0600 a variety
of multi-pitched tones for a few seconds, some kind of data burst, then back to
open carrier.
15370 at 1434 RHC opening ``La Cultura en Cuba``, but with big hum on this
frequency unlike // 11760 and 13680. Wiggle that patchcord!! Morning
programming nominally ends at 1500, but rechecked at 1506, these three
frequencies were still on with open carrier, and hum gone from 15370. 11760
only was supposed to be carrying the weekly Esperanto service at 1500-1530
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
See also VENEZUELA [non]
** NEW ZEALAND. RNZI missing from 6095, April 6 at 1313, clearing the frequency
for Firedrake, which I had heard the day before way under RNZI. Recheck at
1412, RNZI was back on 6095. A couple days and a couple hours earlier, people
were reporting RNZI on the wrong frequency compared to its schedule. Maybe that
happened again, but I did not have time to search for it. DXLD contributor
Bernie O`Shea in Ontario has the answer: they did stay on 9655 an hour too late
until 1400, probably confused by the resumption of UT+12 after a summer on
UT+13 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PHILIPPINES. Vatican Radio Peterbells and IS on 6020 at 1312-1313* QRMing R.
Australia at roughly equal level, a perpetual collision neither station thinks
matters in their respective target areas (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** TURKEY. Monitored the VOT 0300 UT Sunday April 6 broadcast on 7325 via
Sackville, to determine exactly what would actually be broadcast after the
news, when compared to the published schedule for Saturdays which reads:
Outlook
Hues & Colours of Anatolia
DX Corner
As Foreigners Have Put It/Turkish Scientific Bulletin
What Tunes Say
Outlook ended at 0317, but there was no H&CofA this week, so it may really be
alternating with DX Corner, despite the lack of a slant, which did follow at
0318-0325. Some very familiar DX tips were read with lots of stumbling over
unfamiliar names and numbers, concluding with Dan Goldfarb`s CBCNQ 9625 report
recently [only?] in DXLD, with exactly the same wording mentioning
trans-Atlantic conditions, but they were NOT credited!
Before that we had Sri Lanka`s new language schedule, which should have been
credited to Jose Jacob; and a substantial portion of FEBA`s new schedule in
non-English languages. The latter is the kind of thing I would never spend time
reading out on WORLD OF RADIO. Some other DX programs in English really think
there is enough interest to justify broadcasting the schedules of obscure
religious broadcasters in non-English languages!
Announcer did say at the end that DX Corner would be back in two weeks, or was
it one? He was mumbling and I missed it. Hurriedly brought up slightly delayed
webcast but missed it there too. Only 9 of VOT`s programs are on the podcasting
list at http://www.trt.net.tr/wwwtrt/podcasting.aspx?dil=12 and not all of
those are currently on the air; not including DX Corner, of course.
0325-0331 Turkish Scientific Bulletin, which would be back in 2 weeks, --- so
As Foreigners Have Put It must be on alternate weeks.
0331-0338 What Tunes Say
0338-0339 essay contest promo
0339-0341 multilingual ID filler
0341-0347 music fill, unannounced
0347 headlines, announcer going lickety-split. SLOW DOWN!! And then sign-off
announcement
0350 interval signal
Another odd thing about VOT, is that they play exactly the same announcement
and music at the beginning and end of each program. So when you hear that if
you just tuned in, you don`t know whether it is starting or ending. Sure saves
on the production time, but unprofessional (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A [non]. VOA via Philippines, 9760, Sunday April 6 at 1316 with Alice
Coltrane harp music on Jazz America, a treat. Must try to catch this show more
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [non]. Looked for El Mundo del Arte con Marisol Popovitz, on CVC via
Chile, 17680, which had been running Sundays at 1300-1330, but at 1324 April 6
instead heard gospel rock song. Checking the 2008 program schedule at
http://www.cvclavoz.com/prog2008.htm
indeed CVC`s sole concession to the arts in its 24/7 Spanish schedule has
disappeared from this semi-hour but still shows at 0000-0030 UT Sundays --- day
of the week not explicit as there is another column labeled Miami time showing
2000 Sunday, which would be 0000 UT Monday! It`s still on 17680 until 0100
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** VENEZUELA [non]. What has become of ``Al?, Presidente`` via Cuba? Looked for
it Sunday April 6 and unfound on any of the usual frequencies. Checked at 1414,
1433, 1506 and 1553. FWIW, not much, it`s still on the RHC schedule at
http://www.radiohc.cu/espanol/frecuencia/frecuencias-espanol.htm ---
AL? PRESIDENTE (domingo)
Am?rica Central 13680 14
Caribe 11670 14
Am?rica del Sur 11875 / 17750 14
Am?rica del Norte 13750 14
