ABKHAZIA 9495.55 2nd TX unit faulty. Abkhazia Radio today again used the
2nd tx unit, which has always a modulator problem, like a WOBBLING audio
signal, which measured today with a 2.3 kHz filter on about 9492 to 9499 kHz
frequency range. Same fault logged also often by Erich Bergmann in late
August.
Checked the signal from 0530 UT onwards today with S=6-7 peak in 0530-0630
UT range. Seems like Abkhazian talks at 0545 UT, then into Russian again,
sport and weather around 0548 UT, from 0550-0557 music break.
Time signal pips at 0600 UT were 4 seconds too late, when compared with
DCF77 time signal station.
SIGNING-OFF time was exact 08.06:00 UT today.
SIGN-ON again around 1358 ... 1400 UT ?
Sept 6th mornings 9495.55, afternoon 9494.75
Sept 8th mornings 9494.75, afternoon 9494.75

Today 9.9.2008 Abkhaz Radio was audible with so good reception
that positive ID in Russian was heard at 1500Z. Px mainly
native music, no relay of R Rossii news at 15 as most Gtrk
stations do in the European part of Russia. Fq 9494,75.

** CUBA [and non]. With H. Ike crossing western Cuba Sept 9, time for another
check of SW transmitters. First at 0524, RHC English inaudible on 11760, 9550,
but really poor propagation may be the reason; OK on 6140, 6000, and 6060, in
descending order of strength, obsessed with the Cinco Presos and giving their
first names (do they rotate the order, just to be fair?).
Radio Mart?, 7405 without jamming at 0524 during music show. Propagation not
the cause here as WYFR was OK on 7730, 7520. RM 6030 also in the clear at 0525
with no jamming audible!
Radio Rebelde, 5025: normal at 0540, mentioned that Rebelde on 1180 was the
only frequency on the air for central Cuba [just happens to try to block R.
Mart?].
Next check in the 1230-1400+ UT period. News from somewhere at 1300 said Ike
was about to hit the mainland for the second time at Pinar del R?o.
RHC operations were normal, except for 6000 missing.
Jammers were OFF, allowing R. Mart? to be in the clear, and WRMI.
Relays of China and Venezuela were also OFF. The details:
Radio Rebelde: At 1230, 5025 was still on as usual, with Ike coverage more
focused than RHC which was wandering away to other topix. 1335 still audible
talking about massive evax.
RHC: at 1230, the first frequency I checked, 6000 was absent; normally runs
until 1400. Could be that its antenna, larger than the higher frequencies, was
more subject to wind damage.
Following RHC channels were confirmed on with normal operations: at 1239, 6180;
at 1245, 9600, with programming about cultural relations with Mexico`s
regiomontana region (Nuevo Le?n). 1249, 12000; 1251, 11760; 1256, 15360 and
15120; 1302, 15370, 13680. RHC news leads with Ra?l telephoning support to the
head of the Party in hard-hit Holgu?n, ho hum. How about some real news, rather
than party leaders` doings?
Jammers: no sign of them on R. Mart? frequencies, loud and clear for a change:
1232 on 7405, talking about the totally disastrous situation in Cuba; 1235 on
9805; 1255 on 13820, but RM still weak. 1303 on 11845 very good. 1336, still
good on 7405. Also no jamming on WRMI with R. Cuba Libre, 9955, at 1248, but
WRMI quite weak.
CRI relays: at 1246, 9570 missing; at 1402 past 1600, 13740 missing.
RNV relay: at 1254, 11705 missing.
The missing transmissions could be due to: 1) voluntary closedown to minimize
damage, perhaps lowering antennas in advance if possible; 2) power outages but
only in some areas; 3) real hurricane damage to antennas and/or other equipment
at sites; 4) studio-transmitter link outages for any of same reasons; 5) in the
case of jammers, relenting to allow useful info from outside in --- naah, of
course not (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GUIANA FRENCH. DRM on 15310-15315-15320, Sept 9 at 1259 and continuing past
1301, steady S9+18 and likely from one of the W. Hemisphere sites, Bonaire
which has used frequency before at other times, or HCJB? No, Guiana French
reactivated as in this case the DRM DX schedule has it for three days only:
1200-1400 09/08-09/10 15315 292 Mexico 150 TDF GUF various Montsin?ry
And details here: http://www.drmrx.org/forum/showthread.php?t=2004
also showing 11825, 17875 and 21620 at other times of day.
But why? Not stated. Some meeting must be going on in Mexico, with this as a
demo. In fact, it is La S?ptima Bienal Internacional de Radio, at the Centro
Nacional de las Artes, 8-12 September, info about which Magdiel Cruz Rodr?guez
has sent us, including DRM and IBOC demonstrations. More monitoring reports of
these are at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/drmna/messages
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. Qur`an on 4790, Sept 9 at 1233, so must be RRI Fak2, making it
thru again, but none of the other 60m Indos audible (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST) ###

Just received email from WRNO Worldwide that the station returns to the air
tonight (Wed. GMT) WRNO will be on from 0000-0300 GMT Wed. Sept. 10 (That's
8pm to 11pm Eastern Tuesday Sept. 9)..The email did not mention a frequency so
I am going to try all three licensed freqs starting with 7505 where they were
last heard testing. They can also use 7355 and 15590. Email said they were
down like previously reported, for power loss, not because of any damage to
antenna or tower.

Please excuse me...I was in a hurry to get that WRNO email out to everyone and
forgot that New Orleans is on Central Time and not Eastern. WRNO Worldwide
will be on the air from 0100-0400 GMT Wednesday Sept. 10 (9pm to midnight EST
Tuesday Sep. 9). That is the same time period used before WRNO went off the
air. They did not use GMT in the email, just said 8pm to 11pm and I
mistankenly assumed they meant Eastern (what an East coast elitist, I am) .
The email did not have a name at the bottom of it. I am just trusting that the
information is valid. Sorry for the time goof-up.

"Over the last few months our Webmaster, Chris Mackerell, has
gradually been giving the New Zealand Radio DX League's website, a
make-over. ( http://radiodx.com )
This process has now reached a stage where Chris is happy to switch
on the new site for public access.
The new site moves from simple HTML web pages to a "Content
Management System", in this case one called Mambo. The reason for
making this change was to move from a site where only the Webmaster
can edit pages, to a site where all League members can actively
contribute content to the site.
In addition to a fresh new look, some of the things you will find on
the new site include:
* the ability to author & edit web pages or sections. If you
are interested in this
please contact us for a login.
* a premium content area for financial members - there is
nothing there at
present, but we would welcome suggestions. One option being
considered is
an archive of copies of the DX Times.
* a forums section - this is open to all once you have
registered. The list of forums is open to
change if people want other or more appropriate subjects.
* integration of existing mailing list management, eg Ripple
* an experimental chat facility
* all content from the previous version of the website
This has been a large conversion job and there is a lot left to do.
The webmaster (Chris) welcomes volunteers to go through the new site
and find all the mistakes, and to provide new content.
You can contact Chris at [EMAIL PROTECTED]
So please feel free to point your browser at the all-new radiodx.com!"
