Radio Havana Cuba
Dxers Unlimited
Dxers Unlimited's weekend edition for  24-25 May 2008
By Arnie Coro
radio amateur CO2KK

Hi mis amigos radioaficionados around the world and  those of you now 
orbiting our planet!!! Welcome to the weekend edition of your favorite 
listener oriented, and surely technically minded radio hobby program... 
YES... you are listening to Dxers Unlimited, the one and only short wave 
program devoted to each and every aspect of our wonderful passtime...not 
just to boring lists of stations that can be heard only at a certain 
specific location...

When you spend part of your spare time with your radios... you can, like 
during this weekend enjoy the thrill of a two way ham radio contact half 
way around the world using a very low power QRP transmitter in the 
middle of one of the year?s most important CW contests,the CQ Magazine 
sponsored WPX CW prefix contest, or you can have a lot of fun during a 2 
meters band fox hunt at one of your city's parks... but that?s not all, 
you can also spend many hours optimizing  your  new TV Dxing antenna 
system now that sporadic E layer openings are happening every day....
SI AMIGOS, YES MY FRIENDS..OUI MES AMIS,.radio is unique in the sense 
that there is always something to learn, to experiment with, and to 
enjoy... I am Arnie Coro in Havana, my ham radio call sign isCO2KK, and 
you can hear my amateur radio station often on the  40, 30 and 20 meter 
bands CW segments using my new 2 Watt rig, connected to a wideband 
antenna that is working very well indeed.

Now here is item one of today's Dxers Unlimited... As the summer 
solstice is approaching, now less than a month away, we are seeing late 
evening band openings on the 30 and 20 meter amateur bands, and very 
good reception of international short wave broadcasts on the 31an 25 
meter bands.
Item two: Many e-mail messages keep coming in to my [EMAIL PROTECTED] 
account every day, and it's really nice to see how Dxers Unlimited's 
listeners worldwide continue to enjoy this program and bring in so many 
new ideas, suggestions and questions for me to review. Among the most 
recently revived ideas was to create at least one CD ROM disk with the 
best of Dxers Unlimited for the past several years... and then make it 
available to those interested... Sure it's a good idea that will require 
a lot of work on my part, something I am just starting to do during this 
weekend... Item three: Simple wire antennas
continue to fascinate many of you amigos, among them the ultra compact 
two element QUAD antenna for the two meters amateur band, that can be 
built in a few hours using standard PVC insulated wire used for 
household installations and PVC plastic pipe and standard fittings for 
it. But be aware of an interesting phenomenon... if you don't strip the 
wire of its plastic insulation, the dimensions of the antenna will be 
different than those coming from the standard two elements VHF QUAD 
antenna formula... And also there is a very nice and easy to use 
software program to calculate a VHF QUAGI antenna, a neat combination of 
a two element QUAD and several linear parasitic director elements...
By the way that program, which is freeware, is available by just sending 
me an e-mail message requesting the QUAGI antenna design program... send 
your
request to [EMAIL PROTECTED], again [EMAIL PROTECTED], and I'll e-mail the 
software to you as a small dot zip attachment attachment...

More radio hobby related items coming up right here after a short 
break... I am your amigo Arnie Coro in Havana, and as always it's really 
nice to share with you all about seventeen minutes of air time during 
the weekend edition of Dxers Unlimited.
..........................................

This is Radio Havana Cuba, the name of the show is Dxers Unlimited, we 
are on the air twice weekly, at several different times of the day, and 
using also several different short wave frequencies, as well as our 
streaming audio from http://rhc.cu, every day from 05 to 07 UTC at this 
moment...
Here is now item four of today's show:  A simple, rugged, flexible , 
roll up ,easy to transport solar photovoltaic panel, a lead acid gel 
cell accumulator and a simple home brewed voltage regulator will power 
up your low power amateur radio
station and your short wave receiver at anytime... The solar energy 
option is excellent for your emergency communications kit, and you will 
be pleasantly surprised how even in somewhat dark days, the silicon 
solar cells
can provide enough energy to charge up the battery for nighttime use. A 
five or ten watt power solar panel is ideal for this application, and 
let me add that many ham radio contests have now special entry 
categories that provide bonus points for stations using solar or wind 
energy for powering  the equipment  during the contest. Amateur radio 
contests participants . like the many hams involved during this weekend 
worldwide CQ WPX  CWprefixes  contests, learn a lot about fast and 
efficient communications procedures and field installations, something 
that is extremely useful when actual emergencies come up to your 
community .

Item five: The number of amateur radio stations in some countries is
extremely small. This is seen especially in the African continent, where 
the presence of DX expeditions of people visiting from developed nations 
is often the only possible source of a two way contact with that DX 
entity. My
perception is that helping to  develop amateur radio in Africa will be 
extremely useful for the people of that continent, and this is an effort 
that could be very well linked to already ongoing projects designed to 
provide Internet access from remote locations using satellite 
technology.  Item six: Tropical
Band DX season is now, for all practical purpose  over in our northern 
hemisphere... high noise levels, typical of the summer months make Dxing 
on the 120, 90 and 60 meters Tropical Broadcast Bands extremely 
difficult during the evening hours. Nevertheless, very early morning 
monitoring of the 4.6 to 5.1 megahertz segment of the short wave 
spectrum will still make possible some nice catches, because at that 
time there is minimal ionospheric absorption and the daily distribution 
of thunderstorm activity is also at a minimum... One not too nice thing 
happening to Tropical Band Dxers is that many of their favorite stations 
are going off the air, due to many different reasons, among them the 
rapid development of FM broadcast stations in areas forming served by 
Tropical Band broadcasts, and the high cost to broadcasters of keeping 
on the air old vacuum tube transmitters for which replacement parts are 
more and more difficult to find, and when found are extremely expensive. 
Cuba uses the Tropical 60 meters band for providing a nationwide service 
to so called silence zones, especially nations four main mountain 
regions, where night time AM and FM coverage is not as good as it should 
be ...

In areas of mountains and especially in the valleys where AM and FM 
broadcasts do not reach or provide a very
unreliable service, the Near Vertical Incidence Skywave tropical band 
signals provide excellent service. That's whey the Cuban Broadcast 
Institute now operates a
50 kilowatt high tech transmitter for broadcasting Radio Rebelde's 
network national program on 5025 kilohertz, using a near vertical 
incidence sky wave antenna system to provide optimum service up to a 
distance of 1000 kilometers around the transmitter site... For Dxers 
there is a bonus... the
antenna does have a small low angle lobe that makes possible listening 
to Radio Rebelde in many far away places too!!!
......

Si amigos, we do QSL, we do verify reception reports and absolutely free 
of charge... You may send your detailed reception reports and comments 
about this and other RHC programs to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ,again 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] , or VIA AIR MAIL send a postcard to Arnie Coro, Radio 
Havana Cuba, Havana, Cuba... And now la numero uno, the number one most 
popular section of Dxers Unlimited, ASK ARNIE is on the air... Today's 
question sent by listener Dimitri from near St Petersburg, Russia.
Dimitri wants to know how he can find the equivalents of solid state 
devices, so as to make a cross reference between Russian electronic 
components and those made in Europe, the USA and Asia... Amigo Dimitri, 
you are not alone , you are facing  a huge problem and quite a 
challenge... because the specification of, for example, bipolar 
transistors for low signal levels are difficult to match between 
manufacturers.

Fortunately, there are some general purpose devices that provide a high 
degree of compatibility, for example I have used here Russian made KT315 
NPN low signal transistors to replace many different types made in Japan 
and Europe with excellent results... I also have created a database that 
matches to the best possible degree the specifications of many Russian 
vacuum tubes to their US, Japan and European equivalents...

Second QUESTION... Came from Canada, listener Alex from London, Ontario, 
is asking about the possible efficiency for short wave reception of a 
TTFD antenna that in his case,will need to be be only 10 meters or about 
33 feet long, as that is all the space he has for his antenna system. 
Well amigo Alex, here is an important piece of information regarding the 
TTFD antenna design... the lower cutoff frequency for transmitting is 
calculated very easily by simple arithmetic...
The TTFD length is calculated by dividing the wavelength by the number 
three.. so your antenna only 10 meters in overall length will be good 
for transmitting from 30 meters or 10 megaHertz up... In other words, if 
you divide 30 meters by
3, your answer will be 10 meters, and that's the length of a TTFD that 
will be useable for transmitting from 10  megaHertz up... But now the 
good news, it is a fact of life and fully documented by many users of 
the TTFD, including yours truly, that a 10 meters or 33 feet long TTFD 
is certainly  a quite useful receiving antenna down to about 5 
megaHertz  And when used with an antenna tuner it will also put out a 
useable signal on the 40 meters band, but not as efficiently as the full 
size half wave dipole antenna cut for that amateur band that has an 
overall length of 20 meters or 66 feet!!!

So , summarizing, the answer to your question amigo Alex,is, SURE, go 
ahead and build and then install your 10 meters long TTFD, as per the 
building instructions that I sent to you sometime ago, and then after 
using it for a while, please tell me and other Dxers Unlimited's fans 
around the world about your results !!! AND remember that the TTFD 
Antenna's most recent version requires a terminating resistor between 
800 and 950 or even one thousand ohms, that it must be a non inductive 
type of resistor and that it should be properly protected against the 
weather elements. For transmitting, the TTFD terminating resistor must 
be rated to a minimum dissipation of one fourth of the transmitter power 
for average use, and a higher rating if you plan to use full carrier 
modes like standard RADIO TELETYPE or PSK31 digital keyboard to keyboard 
mode... My version of the TTFD uses ten 2 Watt 8200 ohms carbon non 
inductive resistors connected in parallel, to achieve a total 
termination resistance of near 820 ohms, and with that value, the 
antenna has worked very well for several years using my 100 Watts 
transceiver, without any signs of the terminating resistance changing 
its value...
....

And now amigos just at the end of the program, as always here is our 
exclusive and not copyrighted free for all radio hobby enthusiasts 
worldwide ..Arnie Coro's Dxers Unlimited HF plus low band VHF 
propagation update and forecast...The effective sunspot number, ESN, 
continues to be at a dramatically below 10 units, while the actual 
sunspot optical count was zero on Friday and Saturday, an indication of 
the almost endless  very low solar activity. The daytime maximum useable 
frequency curve is barely reaching 18 megaHertz on the East-West daytime 
paths, and as expected, best HF propagation conditions continue to be 
available just after local sunset.
Expect a lot  more sporadic E layer openings, with possible 12, 10 and 6 
meters band openings. Atmospheric noise levels are at a pretty high 
level, as typical of the northern hemisphere
summer months... Hope to have you all join me next Tuesday and Wednesday 
UTC days for the mid week edition of Dxers Unlimited, and don't forget 
to take a little time and send me your valuable comments and opinions 
about this program, to help me make it better for you and all listeners 
around the
world !!!

Peace deal to give legal cover to FM stations used by
clerics

Radio is serving as an ideal propaganda tool for
radical clerics in Pakistan's restive tribal agencies,
and the inking of a peace deal between the government
and Pakistan Taliban will provide legal cover to FM
stations used by them. 

The deal under which licenses will be given to close
to 100 illegal FM stations operating in the region,
could pose a threat to the security and stability of
the country, many feel. 

According to the Pakistan Electronic Regulatory
Authority (PEMRA) 90 per cent of the around 100
illegal FM stations operating in the North West
Frontier Province and adjoining tribal areas, are used
to issue calls for Jihad and for propaganda against
the government. 

With equipment required to set up a movable FM radio
station easily available at less than Rs 10,000,
clerics have used this media tool effectively in the
last few years and despite crackdowns by PEMRA, such
stations have flourished. 

Rooting out these illegal FM stations is difficult
because they are movable and can be reassembled
quickly. "It is not even easy to jam all of them," a
PEMRA official said. 

The FM stations in these backward areas have been of
great help to clerics in spreading their messages to
the masses who have limited access to INTERNET and
television. 

Maulana Fazlullah, who became famous as "Mullah Radio"
for his fiery sermons on his illegal station, was one
of the few radicals to have initially used radio as an
effective propaganda tool. 

Wanted by security forces, Fazlullah who teaches his
own brand of radical Islam and spews hate against the
government used the FM airwaves so effectively at one
time that he even derailed an otherwise productive
polio vaccination campaign in Swat.

THE VOICE OF RUSSIA WORLD SERVICE IS CELEBRATING A
JUBILEE

This year marks 30 years since the launching of the
Voice of Russia World Service in English, formed as
part of the English-language Service of Radio Moscow
that was on the air since 1929. On October 3, 1978,
the new service began round-the-clock broadcasts
beamed throughout the world.

In the run-up to the anniversary we invite you to
share with us your most vivid memories and
impressions, reminiscences of your first encounter
with the World Service broadcasts on the airwaves,
your impressions of our programs, both of the past and
the present day, recollections about our broadcasters,
staff writers, announcers ? anything you would like to
share with us and other listeners of the World Service
in English. 

Your letters may be sent to us by the regular mail, by
e-mail or voice e-mail. You may record them on a CD or
audio cassette. Anything you wish to contribute is
welcome. Your most interesting entries will be
included in our programs and posted on the web site,
and your voice letters ? played in our programs on the
air. 

Write to us at: the Voice of Russia World Service,
Moscow, Russia, or e-mail to us at: [EMAIL PROTECTED]  

Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

** CHINA. When I heard somewhat religious-sounding songs with full orchestra, 
in unID language on 12260.0, S9+10 at 2013 May 27, I suspected I had something 
new and significant. Could it be a harmonic, 2 x 6130? But nothing audible 
there so early in the afternoon. Hmmm, WYFR still carries Taiwan relays and 
also does its own Chinese programming, so let`s look around for parallels --- 
soon found one on 11740, which I remembered is a WYFR frequency; trouble is 
they were not in sync. I finally decided that 12260 was a split second ahead of 
11740. Could not be a WYFR mixing product, as there is also nothing midway on 
12000, so two strixe against that idea. 

Everything fell into place when I fired up the Aoki list: 12260 is a Sound of 
Hope frequency, so jammed, of course by CNR-1, no longer Firedrake. 11740 is 
Radio Free Asia, in Chinese via Tinian, and WYFR, not in Chinese does not come 
on 11740 until 2200. So all I was hearing were two Chicom jammers (Glenn 
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) 

** CUBA [and non]. 13760, May 27 at 1404, het of about 200 Hz on the hi side to 
RHC. This is where VOK has been colliding for a long time; a few days ago, two 
were within a few Hz. But now there is a third player; somehow I got on the 
mailing list of CRI`s French service, and this just came in: 

``Changement de fr?quence --- A partir de 22 mai 2008, la fr?quence 13670 / 
21.95 orient?e vers l?Afrique du nord-ouest, est remplac?e par 13760/21.8. 
Soyez fid?le (Service fran?ais de RCI, May 27, DX LISTENING DIGEST)``

Time? Per EiBI it was: 13670 1400-1600 CHN China Radio Int. F WAf /ALB 
So via Albania --- and THAT may be the SAH I have been hearing on RHC 13760, 
with Korea an audible het further off, so it`s a three way now, Commies vs 
Commies vs Commies! Way to go! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1410, DX 
LISTENING DIGEST)

** INDONESIA [and non]. Incredibly, instead of the whining 1-kHz het between 
9525 and 9526, May 27 at 1434 check, only heard a lo het of 100 Hz or slightly 
more, estimated; Indonesian music, axually sounded more Mideastern, atop the 
other station, presumably CRI Russian as scheduled and often heard during this 
hour. Yes, VOI was back on 9525 after many months on 9526, but will it stay 
there? Or so is my assumption unless a third station has moved in to confuse 
things, like on 13760 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TURKEY. Once again May 27, VOT 15450 coming in fairly well, but at 1306-1313 
it dumped off the air repeatedly. I turned on the BFO and it was apparent that 
when it came back on each time, the power would build up to normal in 2 or 3 
distinct steps (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WINB, 13570, May 27 at 2018 with the anapestic-cadenced New Mexico 
prophet, but not // 15420 WBCQ with same programming but at this moment 
breaking for contact info. 13570 had the usual unstable warble on transmitter 
when monitored with BFO. Per http://www.winb.com/schedule.htm Global Spirit 
Proclamation on WINB is M-F at 16-18 and 20-22. Does the speaker ever give her 
name? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. WRMI inaudible on 9955 at 1433 May 27, just some residual 
pulse Dentro-Cuban jamming. This is when the DX program Frecuencia al D?a is 
scheduled, Tuesdays 1430. Perhaps as the only Spanish program during the entire 
week in this semi-hour it attracts undue attention as possibly 
counter-revolutionary; tough luck, Dino, who isn`t even Cuban! However, at 2011 
recheck, WRMI was in the clear, no jamming, fair signal at S9+18 with 
programming in English about Poland; from WRN, Polish Radio as scheduled (Glenn 
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. KVOH, 17775, May 27 at 2025, overmodulated but muffled and distorted, 
worse than usual, Spanish religious talk with piano(?) background. Figured I 
would find the 17920/17630 spurs along with it, but not this time (Glenn 
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###
