Technical Tips, yes Technical Tips here at Dxers Unlimited?s mid week >
edition... For your radio hobby enjoyment... Here is the first one: > Whenever
you buy or get a free piece of old equipment, be it full of > vacuum tubes or
solid state devices... NEVER, , again NEVER connect it > to the power l!
ine if it is an AC operated radio, before making a very > detailed visual
inspection INSIDE... Look for electrolytic capacitors > that may be leaking ,
signs of overheated transformers, and in the case > of equipment in long
storage signs of mildew and humidity damage.> > After the visual inspection, if
no signs of those typical problems are > found, then phase two of a start up
procedure for gear in long term > storage will be to carefully test all the
electrolytic capacitors using > an Equivalent Series Resistance or ESR meter...
go one by one, be > patient and you will be rewarded usually with the detection
of one or > more capacitors that will need to be replaced... Proceed to replace
> them, and when powering up the equipment use a variable voltage >
autotransformer to carefully provide AC to the radio... I usually start > with
25 volts and leave it there for a number of hours... jump then to > 50 volts
and monitor the AC current drawn by the radio under the revival > !
process...after about a day at 50 volts, it will be usually safe to >
raise the voltage o 100 volts and watch for any signs of overheating or >
excessive current drawn from the variable> > voltage transformer ...Just before
I forget... in older vacuum tube > radios, it will always a good idea to
replace all the paper dielectric > bypass capacitors too... a time consuming
procedure, but one that will > save you from having to replace much more
expensive and hard to find > components !!!...> > > > And now as always at the

NETHERLANDS [non] Report of football match Russia vv Holland in RNW,
special live commentary in Dutch transmission on June 21, 1800-2152 UT.
Short break 2152-2153 UT, followed by usual Dutch program and Holland songs
til 2200 UT.
Quick alive Youngsters from Russia beat the favorite Holland team on the
EURO 2008 quarter final 3 - 1.
Powerhouse S=9+30dB signals on Wertachtal 5955 and 5990 kHz.
Fair signal on Tinang-PHL relay 5840 kHz, S=1-2 only.
11640 kHz additional Sackville fade in very tiny here in EUR, S=1 underneath
Mali. Totally covered by CRI Bamako Mali in Arabic on co-channel, latter
1800-2130 UT.
Powerful also via Issoudun on 9895, 13855, and 15650 kHz.
9895 strong signal here in Germany, up to S=9+20dB in last half hour.
13855 S=9+10dB at best.
15650 S=4-5 signal, peak around 2159 UT with S=9+10dB.
17485 Bonaire started S=5, later increased up to S=9 at 2159 UT.
17765 from Montsinery-GUF S=1-2 only.
>From 2000 UT also Nauen powerhouse started on 6125 S=9+40dB, at 2100-2200 UT
increased to S=9+50dB!!
Grigoriopol Moldova relay on 6040 kHz suffered severe by co-channel Minsk
BLR, only S=7 signal and I=1, useless in Stuttgart-Germany.
Bonaire signal was three quarter second ahead of Moldova and France relays.
DTK Media&Broadcast feed relay was 2 seconds behind the others.
Next planned special transmissions on half final on Thur 26, and final match
on June 29 is in question, due of the DROP OUT of the Oranje team.

As you may know, I could not care less about stupid ballgames, but after dining
at a restaurant which had some European soccer championship up on a screen, as
it was shown in the USA even on ABC-TV, Russia leading 1-0 at that point, I
inevitably ran across some of RNW`s special coverage during a routine SW
bandscan.
June 21 at 2119, WWCR/DGS 13845 was suffering from huge continuous crackling
noise which also marred sidebands more than usual as far as 13835 and 13855,
the latter bothering RNW in Dutch; this was not synchronized with strong 17765
and weak 17485. At 2122 I noticed a much stronger //, Sackville 11640, on for
this occasion only, no trace of anything under it, during sad solo singing ---
imagine that, MUSIC on RNW`s Dutch service!! ID, `Dit is de Wereldomroep`, but
did not say which one; 2124 a vaguely familiar song in English! So mutch for
Dutch music. This too was of a lamentational nature, so I concluded that
Netherlands must have lost. This matters only insofar as Lowcountrypeople
believe it does; in reality, it is better for a country to lose such a contest,
so it may then concentrate on something that really matters to national
achievement, e.g. scientific research, the arts, freedom (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX

Russia, 7125, RadioKompaniya, Moldova, 0115- 0140, Steady Russian language
comments and
features with males and a female doing the talking. Except for the
language, this format sounds like
talk radio News stations here in the states several years ago - interesting
listening. Identification
break at 0132 which was a canned announcement, very brief, then back to
talk. At 0133 music
presented. Signal was good. (Chuck Bolland, June 22, 2008)
Sri Lanka, 7135 Voice of America, 0135-0200, Noted a female in steady
comments. EIBI
database lists "UR" as the language, which I am assuming represents "Urdu",
for this freq and
time. At approximately 0157 heard plenty of ID's in that language as "VOA"
and "Voice
of America". I took the Sri Lanka connection from the Passport page 435.
Signal for this
broadcast was fair. (Chuck Bolland, June 22, 2008)
Russia, 7200, Voice or Russia, 0210-0235 Noted this station in Spanish
Language
comments provided by a male and female. Checked a number of parallel freqs
and
heard only the following: 7300 and 9830 KHz. Checked a number of sources
both hard
and electronic copies, to confirm this as Voice of Russia as well as the
schedule, and found
a mishmash of different schedules and frequecies which all added up to
nothing but
doubt and confusion. During a recorded interview, heard an individual
mention Cuba
and Russo during his comments, so it was probably someone in Cuba stating
the
friendship that exsisted between Cuba and Russo. At 0234, live ID as "Voz
de Russo".
Signal was fair on 7200 while 7300 and 9830 KHz were good. (Chuck Bolland,

Chuck, are you saying that this is a Moldovan station called RK Moldova, or
Radio Kompaniya Golos Rossii, from Moldova? .......Walt.

Good reception right now at 02:29 of Peru's Radio Victoria. Not quite
armchair, but pretty close. Using LSB, of course, to escape the loud het from
6020. Interesting that a few minutes ago, I heard Caracas and Radio Vera Cruz
(I think) mentioned. Running about S6 on the meter up to S7, and it's still
hours until dusk.......Walt Salmaniw, Victoria, BC
