** CHINA [and non]. Still no resumption of Firedrake May 23, e.g. on 11785
checked at 1257, at least two Chinese language services mixing (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. RHC again running open carrier on 11760, normally one of their best
morning frequencies, May 23 at 1256, 1305 and still at 1357 chex. Why? Loses
feed to transmitter and nobody notices? The other usual frequencies were
modulating normally (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [non]. R. Rep?blica has resumed broadcasts via Germany. Heard May 22 at
0147 on 5955, in Spanish, typical fare and not // jammed UK 6155. No jamming
yet on 5955, which is Tue-Sat 01-02, 125 kW from Nauen at 285 degrees since May
16. The also have a new live morning show, Amanecer, M-F at 10-11 on 9490 via
Sackville, 250 kW at 227 degrees (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1409, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** GREECE. Greek music fair at 0514 May 23 on 11645. This 05-06 hour from VOG
is supposed to be in Albanian, in the Filia service, but did not stay with it
till any announcements (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. Looking for traces of XEXQ, 6045, May 23 at 1249 and traces there
were of classical music on definite weak carrier; at first thought it was
Ritual Fire Dance, but then recognized some notes from Bolero; battling noise
level from Kansas/Nebraska lightning (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NIGERIA. VON, 15120, May 22 at 1847 with news of Nigeria and Africa; fair
signal in the clear, fades, modulation better than usual; continued past 1900
when overshadowed by Spain 15110 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. Talking House at 3225 Whippoorwill, in NW Enid, gets out pretty
well on 1670 kHz, audible on caradio all along west Randolph as far as Oakwood
Mall, range of some 2-3 miles, 1640 UT May 22. Probably the same one I have
also heard some miles to the NW of Enid into the country (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** SERBIA [non]. After missing for a few days, International Radio Serbia is
back on air via Bijeljina, B-H. May 22 at 2337, resumption of the usual heavy
clash between it and XEPPM on 6185, with a rippling SAH and the Mexican on top,
but rather sure the other station is Serbian as scheduled, and same situation
after 2359 as IRS starts English. Wolfgang B?schel had noted at 2000 the other
Bijeljina frequency, 6100, was back on the air in German (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** SPAIN. Arabic singing on 12015, May 22 at 1926 slightly over constant RTTY,
but only poor signal and seems undermodulated; automatic timesignal on halfhour
1930 tipped off that it`s REE, yes, as scheduled eastward from Noblejas.
Was not expecting to hear classical music on Friday morning from REE during the
13 UT hour, since Cl?sicos Populares is now scheduled Mon-Tue-Wed only and
there`s a talk show on Thursdays, but there was some May 23 at 1308 on 17595
and via Costa Rica 15170; this show focused on M?xico, 1324 IDed as ``Am?rica
M?gica`` as on schedule Fridays 1305-1355, with one repeat UT Mondays at
0005-0055 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TURKEY. Qur`an recitation with usual long pauses, good at 0510 May 23 on
11980. Figured it was some Arab country, like Algeria relay, but looked up and
it could only be VOT Emirler, scheduled in Turkish at 310 degrees toward us.
Must default to Arabic for Qur`an since it`s Friday, but what is this doing on
a secular state broadcaster??? Or do they do this every day? Is there a
struggle at TRT over whether to broadcast Qur`an? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. VOA Portuguese to Africa, 9815, May 22 at 1824 concluding Temas e
Debates, singing, and into a VOA Editorial. Service over at 1829 but no
sign-off; 1830 into VOA English for one minute by mistake, 1831-1840* open
carrier, why? This is Greenville at 91 degrees. I wonder how well 9 MHz gets to
Angola over an afternoon path in our summer. Why not use something closer? O
yeah, 9815 was via Morocco 12 months ago, no longer an option; several services
formerly via Morocco to Africa are now via Greenville. CIRAF targets for this:
all of Africa except the northern and southern tiers of countries. 91 from
Greenville is centred on Lagos, close to S?o Tom?, but it misses Guinea Bissau
and Angola which are further south, as well as Maputo, but crosses Mo?ambique
near Nampula, if it gets that far (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WBCQ check May 22 at 1817, during quite poor propagation: 15420 was
JBA, I think, vs GB-15410 splatter; I found out too late on Wednesday that
WORLD OF RADIO has been moved up to 2100 UT Wednesdays on 15420-CUSB. 9330,
said to be on the air this one hour only weekdays, 18-19, definitely on at 1826
but poor with talk show // 7415. At this hour, 9330 carries better than 7415,
which is why the client wanted it on, no doubt (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST) ###

** ARGENTINA [and non]. May 23 at 2001 found a fluxuating subaudible
heterodyne, every few seconds oscillating from 0 to maybe 10 Hz, which means at
least one of the two transmitters here is unstable, and we bet it`s RAE, which
at least has managed to almost match Morocco, a feat in itself. Just traces of
French and Arabic audio, respectively. Earlier this week RAE was as much as 280
Hz low (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BIAFRA [non]. V. of Biafra International, via WHRI, 17650, Friday May 23:
excellent local-like signal, with only occasional quick deep fades to remind us
the ionosphere is involved.
Main speaker is a very persuasive orator, and it was hard to tune away as he
detailed all the charges against the vicious Nigerians. Mostly in English, but
at times alternating with Ibo (or Igbo?), a tonal language.
2008 tune-in, was saying that Nigeria had killed 2,000 innocent people, just
because they did not want to be Nigerians.
2015, ID in English and talk in Ibo, mentioning Fulani, Yoruba and 1976.
2017, full English ID mentioning origination in Washington, DC;
call-and-response song.
2022, News Analysis. May 30, 1967 was the birth of Biafra due to genocide and
the brutal prejudice of Nigeria, northern Nigerians in particular; alternating
with Ibo. A million-man-march is called for this May 30 to celebrate the
anniversary (so next week`s program should be even more interesting).
2035 ID with Washington DC again; Commentary about Nigerian savages, and how
Biafra could eventually emerge stronger and free, like Israel, Ireland, France
and South Africa. ``Biafra has come to stay``, ``Hail Biafra, the land of
justice``. Biafrans all over the world in exile should celebrate independence
on May 30, 2008 and display the green, black and red flag with a rising sun in
the middle; there is a provisional Biafran government in exile.
2043 referred to ``Nigerian Islamo-Fascists``, (has he been inside the Beltway
too long?) and several more comments of a pro-Christian nature. There is a
peace march from somewhere to Enugu, May 22 to 30;
took a minute or two seemingly naming every town in Biafra.
2053 ``God Bless Africa`` anthem on flute, and more music to 2058* without any
WHR ID.
According to FCC A-08 schedules, this transmission Fridays only at 20-21 on
17650, 250 kW at 87 degrees, will be switching to 15665 from June 1 to
September 7, then back to 17650 for the rest of the season. Make that June 7
which will be the first Friday after June 1. Nothing about that heard on this
week`s broadcast, nor found on their website, with lots of other info, topped
by the flag as described:
http://www.biafraland.com/vobi.htm
The WHR online schedule shows for Angel 1:
2000 - 2100 4:00 PM - 5:00 PM Fr VOBI Broadcasts Oguchi Nkwocha 17650
So Oguchi Nkwocha may or may not be the main orator; searching on this name at
the biafraland website was unproductive (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** RWANDA. DW Kigali, 15205 in English at 2102 May 23, still with unstable
frequency warbling slightly with BFO on, unnoticeable with BFO off (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SPAIN. I checked for XEYU May 23 at 1815 but nothing around 9600. Weak
signal on 9600, May 23 at 1936 with song in Spanish repeating the word
bel?sima, or was it mor?sima? Or was it Italian? Anyhow, one might think XEYU
was back except this was on 9600.0, not 9599.3v, and a few minutes later an
announcement in French. Faded down and gone by 1950. Looked up later, it`s REE
which is in French M-F 19-20 on 9600 at 110 degrees. Beware, as this broadcast
could also contain some Spanish (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. So much for a clear shot at Syria, which never made it here
the last few days, not even a carrier on 9330. WBCQ, which shut down 9330 after
losing Rod Hembree`s business, not only brought it back at 18-19 May 22, but
Brother Scare to the rescue! He`s now on 9330, as heard May 23 at 1953, running
about 3 seconds ahead of WWRB 9385. No Syria het even tho Turkey was in on
9460, and Greece weaker on 9420. Overcomer Ministry still going at 2105 with a
drama, not B.S. himself at the moment.
Then I heard from Allan Weiner that BS has bought 24/7 hours on 9330 and then
5110: Seven days on 9330 at 1200-0100, on 5110 at 0100-1200.
Allan also says WORLD OF RADIO will not be back on 9330 or 5110 yet, just on
7415 as before, Thu 2330 and Mon 0415; and 15420, Wed 2100. 15420 was JBA here
May 23 at 1959 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [non]. If you don`t get enough African music from VOA in English, the
French service has a wildly enthusiastic DJ, as noted via Bonaire 17550, Friday
May 23 at 2005 giving phone numbers and spelling out e-mail addresses,
presumably of listeners wanting contacts. One sounded like cher-US-star, then
some Mozambique music. VG signal here slightly out of the target area (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENNG DIGEST)
** U S A. VOA in French on 9830, May 23 at 2107 news, ID, mixing with constant
RTTY. At 2100-2130 M-F this is S?o Tom? at 335 degrees; strangely enough, it`s
half an hour earlier on Sat & Sun (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. Pastor Pete Peters, via WWCR 9980, May 23 at 2108 with hum, dead air,
someone who can count to two making mike chex, feedback; 2110 PPP audible but
off-mike, apparently a live outdoor event, inviting children to come forward
and be taught how to sing something for a Sunday performance. 2112 a prayer but
barely audible by non-deities despite huge signal; 2114 could barely hear the
call but the response blasted in, ``Jesus Christ is king``. 2115, PPP is
finally on-mike himself, and immediately offers prayer for the audio crew,
``send us tech-angels to help``. BTW, Laporte CO is not far from the May 22
tornado outbreaks, but no mention of that heard (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST) ###

Radio Broadcasting in the Pacific
A Look Back 50 Years to 1958
RNZI Mailbox Documentary May 26
_________________________________
50 years ago, the last of the American baby boomers was born, and
radio broadcasting was still in its infancy in most parts of the
Pacific.
Australia and New Zealand had a combined population of about 12.3m
people and shared only 2.6m radio receivers amongst them. The ABC was
about to end experimental FM broadcasts in the main centers, and the
only FM station in the entire Pacific region was KAIM-FM in Honolulu.
The most powerful island shortwave radio station was Radio Tahiti,
serving 75,000 local listeners in the year that General Charles de
Gaulle became French president and Sputnik 1 fell to earth.
Shortwave broadcasting was also the only form of radio in the Cook
Islands, New Caledonia and Dutch New Guinea. In Western Samoa, 2AP
was celebrating its tenth anniversary. No stations broadcast in Tonga
or the New Hebrides Condominium and only a few hours daily came from
the new stations in the Gilbert & Ellice Islands Colony and the
British Solomon Islands Protectorate.
US Armed Forces Radio stations left over from World War 2 were still
on the air on islands like Midway, Johnston, Eniwetok, and Kwajalein,
and the relatively new Fiji Broadcasting Commission was still using
shortwave radio from VRH4 Suva.
Papua was served by just one station, 9PA Port Moresby, and KUAM was
the sole station on Guam. On tiny Canton Island, KIBS of the Hermit
Crab Network entertained airport staff at the lonely stop over point
for the new trans-Pacific jet services of Qantas and Canadian Pacific
Airlines.
Listen to Mailbox on RNZI on Monday May 26 as David Ricquish of the
Radio Heritage Foundation takes listeners back to the world of
Pacific radio 50 years ago in 1958.
Original theme music from popular British radio shows of the era,
such as 'Housewives Choice', 'Desert Island Discs' and 'Family
Favourites' also features in this radio heritage documentary.
Visit www.rnzi.com for shortwave frequencies and times, and to
download an audio version of the program that remains available on
line for four weeks from May 26.
You can also download the previous documentary, exploring
contemporary radio in Fiji, Nauru and the Solomon Islands. This is
available from the May 12 Mailbox program audio also at www.rnzi.com.
For more information about early days of broadcasting in the Pacific,
including stories and images and the popular Art of Radio Hawaii on
line exhibition, visit www.radioheritage.net. An online version of
the program script along with images will be available later.
Full searchable lists of operating AM and shortwave stations in the
Pacific are available free on line in the Pacific Asian Log Radio
Guides. An FM guide will be available shortly. Visit
www.radioheritage.net to access the current guides today.
The Radio Heritage Foundation is a non-profit organization connecting
the heritage of radio broadcasting and popular culture across the
Pacific. Our website is www.radioheritage.net.
