Arnie,
thank you for the excellent blog / web page. The link is good and I certainly
appreciate the work you do for RHC and the radio hobby. I enjoy both your
English and Spanish programs. It is the best Spanish listening on the airwaves
and my best source of the Spanish language for studying and learning. Excellent
signals and programming.
Thank you!

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
** CUBA. DentroCuban Jamming Command is crazy, jamming frequencies with nothing
on them. A quick bandscan June 20 at 0615 found the same raspy pulsing at the
rate of two per second on these frequencies: 9840, 11775, and by 0622 also on
7365, 6100. I did not use a second receiver to see if they were synchronized,
but probably were. As recently pointed out, 6100 is used at other times, only
two hours a day, by R. Rep?blica, and was also testing Cuban music later in the
night from WHRI. 7365 is R. Mart? at other hours and formerly Cuban music via
WHRI until 1500. 11775 is R. Mart?, only earlier in the evening.
But 9840? No targets known there, but since it is a WHRI frequency, currently
available at 1300-2000 per HFCC, I suspect this points to yet another previous
Cuban music test we may have missed. Checked at 1752 June 20, 9840 was on with
usual WHRI gospel rock music fill (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [and non]. Tnx to a tip from Jean-Michel Aubier in France, that R.
Rep?blica was on both 6135 and 5940 from *2200 June 21, I rushed to check out
new 5940 at 2355 UT. Yes, still on then and beneath heavy jamming on both; as
far as I could tell the two were // and synchronized, which has not been the
case when RR was running from both DTK and VTC facilities in Europe. Therefore,
I suspect new 5940 is also coming from Rampisham, as RR steps up its output to
dilute the effectiveness of the DentroCuban Jamming Command. At 2359 there was
``Atenci?n``, presumably a frequency change announcement, but could not copy it
due to jamming. Both 5940 and 6135 went off at exactly 0000, and by the time I
had retuned one receiver to 6155, it was already going there as per usual
schedule.
Then I looked around for a successor to 5940, but none found on 49 or 41m;
altho jamming against nothing was then found on 5890, and it diminished in
level by 0005. Also heavier jamming on 9885, both of which point to VOA Spanish
target --- except neither starts until 0030, and with non-Cuban programming at
the outset. Heavy splatter from WWCR/DGS 5935 started at 0000, but as far as I
could tell the jamming was no longer on 5940.
The previous addition to RR was 5955 but nothing on there at this hour; it had
been observed May 22 at 0100-0200 Tue-Sat via Nauen (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** ECUADOR. HCJB is really in a rut, a captive of its unsupervised automation
system. As I previously noted a few years before, when the Spanish service on
9745 signs off, this still happens: June 21 at 0501 Ecuadorian national anthem
in progress, ending at 0503. Time to turn off the transmitter, right? Wrong.
After a few seconds pause, starts playing an Andean music piece for about 70
seconds, and THEN the transmitter cuts off while that music is still playing.
Could be a studio silence-sensor kicks in with such fill music instead of
realizing it is time to quit, and a separate timer on the transmitter is set to
turn off one minute too late (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** LAOS [non]. Hmong World Christian Radio, presumed, Saturday June 21 at 1406
on WHRI 11785, playing the same rustic singing with frogs(?) chirping in
background that we also hear on Hmong Lao Radio during the previous hour. Makes
one wonder just how closely related these two programs are (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NETHERLANDS [non]. 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 nation 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
LISTENING DIGEST)
** NEW ZEALAND. RNZI`s newer DRM transmitter is also capable of AM, and that
was evident June 21 at 0421 when I found BOTH RNZI frequencies, 15720 and 13730
running AM! Some show about downloading songs, good reception on both. But what
will the poor Pacific Island relayers do when the DRM frequency comes in on AM
instead? Do their receivers automatically switch to AM? Then I look for an
explanation on the RNZI website but only find this referring to six days
earlier, not exactly applicable now:
``21 Jun, 2008 09:15 UTC --- There will be no DRM transmission on Sunday 15
June due repairs being carried out to the AM transmitter`` (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** RUSSIA [and non]. VOR, English on 13635 via Pet-Kam to WNAm, inbooming June
21 at 0423 during talk about a St. Pete music festival, but there were
occasional split-second audio dropouts. During the following semihour, 13635
was better than 9450 via Germany (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. Ran across Brother Scare on a frequency new to me,
fair-poor 11520, June 21 at 2126; is it // WWRB 9385? No, but he is talking on
same subject, prophecy of inevitable armed conflict between US and Iran before
Bush is out (do we need this crap to muddy the waters, or contribute in the
minutest way to it possibly happening?).
So may be same program but unsynchronized from different sites. I forced myself
to keep listening, and eventually determined that 11520 was running 2 minutes
and 48 seconds behind 9385! That`s a lot of delay, even if multiple satellites,
internet and digital processing are all involved.
It so happened that B.S. went on to talk about his current SW schedule, so this
broadcast was of some usefulness after all. Here is how he gave it, never
mentioning timezone! But probably EDT of UT -4; my comments in brackets:
3185, 1-9 am [WWRB]
5110, all-night [WBCQ]
5745, 8 pm - 1 am [WWRB]
6110, 10 am - noon [DTK]
6175, 3-5 pm [DTK]
6890, 6 pm - midnight [WWRB]
7415, 9-11 pm [WBCQ ? surely not every night now, just filling in?]
9265, Sat 10 am - 2 pm [? Inactive WMLK scheduled from 1600 UT; WINB
only until 1200]
9330, all-day [WBCQ]
9385, all-day [WWRB]
11520, 5-6 pm daily [no listings at all for this on any of the online
skeds; but suspect DTK; = 21-22 UT when I heard it]
13570, 2-3 pm daily [WINB]
13810, 10-11 am daily [DTK]
17435, 11 am - noon daily [sic, means 17485, DTK]
A few minutes later he gave the SW sked again in a different form, mixing
local time and UTC, sic:
12-9 am, 3185 [WWRB]
3-11 pm, 7415 [WBCQ; he still thinx he has 8 hours straight on WBCQ
rather than here and there!]
9 pm-8 am, 5110 [WBCQ]
7 pm-midnight, 5745 [WWRB]
14 UTC, 6110 [DTK; no end times given]
19-21 UTC, 6175 [DTK]
6 pm-midnight, 6890 [WWRB]
8 am-9 pm, 9330 [WBCQ]
9 pm-7 pm, 9385 [sic, means 9 am-7 pm; WWRB]
14 UTC, 13810 [DTK]
15 UTC, 17485 [DTK, got the frequency right this time]
Yes, I know, DTK is now supposed to be called M&B. Note latest addition 11520
is missing from second version, and so is 9265. I`ll leave it to others to pick
out the conflicts between the two versions other than those and 7415. Said his
total SW airtime is now 144 hours per day. And he is on 133 stations around the
world, 31 of which run him all-night. I heard him on WOAI 1200 recently plus
IBOCs; has Clear Channel no shame? Also plugged his availability on cellphones,
for a long-distance call anytime to 712-432-7250. Thank a god for that! (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U K. A good time to hear From Our Own Correspondent on that antiquated
medium, SW, from BBCWS, is UT Saturdays 0432 on 9410, 62 degrees from
Rampisham, as I did June 21 instead of webcast (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. WWCR/DGS service, 13845, suffering from revival of heavy
continuous crackling on audio, June 21 at 2119, pushing sidebands further than
usual to 13835 and 13855, latter bothering R. Netherlands soccer special. I
could also hear the crackling on Anguilla 11775, but much less of it. They may
have better audio filtering, but taking the same defective satellite feed from
HQ in LA. I assume uplink dish is not aimed accurately, altho downlink dish
misalignments could add to the problem. This has been a recurring problem for
years with The University Network; they obviously don`t care or don`t know how
to fix it. None of the Costa Rican frequencies were audible to look for
crackling there too (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

interesting few minutes of E-skip after a severe thunderstorm passed thru.
as I was listening to pittsburgh's WDVE 102.5 in the shop. I heard the infamous
"shifting" and "whisking" sound of another station coming over WDVE for about
30 seconds. the e-skip station totally knocked wdve out just like I hit a
memory button. I went to the open frequencies and they were loaded. I then
went to the Sansui TU-717 on the big antenna and presto.
Time was 22:30 to 22:45 UTC or 6:30p to 6:45p local time. all stations had
their slogan id's or call letter id's.
there were a lot coming in, but the fades were too deep and too frequent. one
station even kept taking over pittsburgh's WDVE 102.5. I am located about 60
miles from pittsburgh.

The Shortwave Report 6/20/08 Listen Globally!
by Dan Roberts
Thursday Jun 19th, 2008 4:34 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 (June 20) 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) (28:57)
(NEW! If you have access to Audioport.org there is a higher quality version
posted up there {26.7MB} http://www.audioport.org/index.php?op=producer-
info&uid=904&nav=&)
This week's show features stories from China Radio International, Radio
Netherlands, Radio Havana Cuba, and the Voice of Russia.
>From CHINA- Following last month's earthquake, heavy rains have
threatened many in China. The Chinese Vice-President has begun a 5
nation tour in North Korea. US and South Korean officials are continuing a
dialogue about importing US beef which has produced huge anti-
government demonstrations. Nepal's government has converted the royal
palace into a museum days after the former King became a civilian. Israel
has decided to build tens of thousands of new apartments in Jerusalem.
British Prime Minister Brown and George Bush threatened Iran while Bush
was making his last tour of England as President.
>From NETHERLANDS- Amnesty International has accused the international
community, especially the US and Britain, of promoting a false picture of the
security situation in Iraq. A press review covering Dutch plans to vastly
expand the use of electric cars in the next ten years. The European
Parliament passed controversial laws allowing nations to expel immigrants
and also detain them for up to 18 months without charging them with any
crimes.
>From CUBA- Thousands protested George Bush's visit to England,
demanding he be arrested and charged with war crimes. A Viewpoint on
Bush and Brown's increased economic and military threats against Iran.
>From RUSSIA- An analysis of Bush's visit to London, focusing on plans to
capture Bin Laden, intrusions into Pakistan, and the loss of secret British
documents.
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 (PDST) on KZYX/Z
Philo CA, you might be able to stream via
There are several other streams that work better- Freak Radio Santa Cruz
now streams this program on Friday at 9:00am.(PDST)
The Shortwave Report may be downloaded as a podcast from or iTunes
(search for "shortwave" in podcasts)
Check out the amazing streams at
And Radio For Peace International at
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!

Snap and crackle goes pop
http://www.economist.com/world/international/displaystory.cfm?story_id=115

Jun 19th 2008
>From The Economist print edition
Life in the old wireless yet
PROPAGANDA, news, curiosity and even espionage were the fuel of short-
wave radio broadcasts. Readers of a certain age may recall the thrill of
hearing a crackly, venomously worded broadcast from far away, such as the
Voice of Free China denouncing the communist bandits on the mainland, or
Radio Peace and Progress in Moscow deriding the imperialist hullabaloo
about human rights.
The huge advantage of short-wave was that such material was simple to
send and hard to stop. Thanks to their high frequency and short wavelength,
even low-powered signals can bounce off the ionosphere halfway round the
world; anyone can listen. Jamming them-a favourite Soviet tactic, still
practised by China today-is an expensive and patchy business.
The end of the cold war, deregulation and new technology made short-wave
look out of date. The propaganda war between east and west abated. Poor
countries liberalised their broadcasting regimes, turning information famine
into abundance. New stations, transmitting on crackle-free FM, soaked up
listeners. Many started partnerships with international broadcasters who had
previously used short-wave. Satellite-television news from stations such as
CNN provided powerful competition in meeting the needs of the news-
hungry. Broadband internet connections and even mobile phones can be
used to listen to a plethora of radio stations.
But short-wave's retreat has slowed. Though the BBC's World Service uses
around 15 different technologies to reach its listeners, short-wave is still
king: latest figures, published last week, show 105m of its 182m-strong
global audience still listen that way, the majority of them in Africa. In
Nigeria
the short-wave audience even grew slightly last year. That's not going to
change soon: the BBC is upgrading its transmitters on Ascension Island (to
be powered, greenly, by a new wind farm). Mike Cronk, a BBC bigwig, says
the business case was "compelling".
As competition for slots on the spectrum has eased, private broadcasters
are moving in, notably American-based religious ones such as Assemblies
of Yahweh, Adventist World Radio and the Fundamental Broadcasting
Network. Short-wave also stays useful after natural disasters or political
crises. Foreign broadcasters such as Voice of America have been stepping
up their short-wave offerings to Zimbabwe in recent weeks.
Perhaps the most loyal users of all are intelligence services. So-called
"Numbers stations" such as the Cyprus-based Lincolnshire Poacher (named
after the jaunty tune that precedes the broadcasts) allow Britain's MI6 and
others to send messages to anyone anywhere in the world, untraceably and
in unbreakable code. No other medium is as ubiquitous and as secure. The
only snag would be if owning a short-wave radio were to come to be seen as
so eccentric as to arouse suspicion. Indeed, fewer such sets are sold these
days. But as Simon Spanswick of the Association for International
Broadcasting, an industry umbrella group, notes, people rarely throw their
radios away.

Italian catholic broadcaster Radio Maria today uses at the same time 26000 kHz
for AM and 26010 kHz for DRM.
While writing this at 1800 UTC I am hearing both signals here in Germany via
Sporadic E propagation.
