Today, 1st Oct postman delivered a nice QSL-card
from R St Helena of their 2007 broadcast. My original
reception report was lost on it's way to St Helena and
Robert Kipp helped me to get verification for e-mailed report.
Envelope postmarked 20 Sep, so quite fast postal delivery.
Thanks again to Robert.

The following information has just been received from Robert Kipp re
a Test Transmission of Radio St Helena
Mark Nicholls
Editor NZ DX Times
NZ Radio DX League
Dear RadioClubs and DXers everywhere,
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Radio St. Helena TEST Transmission on either 03. or 04. October 2008
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On either 03. October or 04. October starting at the earliest at 18:00 UTC,
Radio St. Helena will broadcast a TEST transmission on 11092.5 KHz in USB.
It is assumed that the TEST will last for one hour.
It is assumed that the antenna will be aimed at Europe.
As is usual for TEST transmissions, Radio St. Helena will NOT issue QSL cards.
However, RSH would be interested in short emails describing the audio quality
of the various parts of the broadcast (music, presenters voices, interviews).
Thank-you and good listening,
Robert Kipp

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1
** AUSTRALIA. TP conditions were not so good Oct 1, but at 1219 check, all
three VL8 stations were audible in //, 2485 best (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. On Oct 1 I was getting more on 60m from China, than from Indonesia.
At 1226 on 4900 YL song in English, then to announcement in Chinese. Also
signals on 4830, 5050 and strongest on 5030 but always with SAH and QRM from
Malaysia (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. Never a dull moment from the RHC transmitters. Oct 1 at 1255, 11705
which is supposed to be RNV relay, instead sounded like random tuning among
various satellite downlinx, in English. Fragments heard included ``messing with
divine justice``, bells, ``have to know the truth``, ``sun god in Egypt, Seth``
like Jesus. Finally at 1259 cut to a bit of Spanish, music, and off the air at
1300* sharp (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** FRANCE. On 15160, Oct 1 at 1316, novelty chanson in French, followed by
announcement in Russian; 1327 hard rock in French, until abruptly off at 1330*
without announcement. This is the RFI Russian service at 1300-1300, 55 degrees
via Issoudun (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** RUSSIA. R. Rossii, Magadan, nice signal totally in the clear on 5940, Oct 1
at 1230 with pianist playing counterpoint, and // 5920 Pet/Kam which was
colliding with WBOH producing a fast SAH. 1232 drums and synthesizer added,
then off-key singer in English. 1233 Russian announcement and classic rock tune
including lyrix:
``Time to get your boppin` shoes
Before the Jukebox blows a fuse``
Refrain: ``Boppin` at the high school hop``. Sounded like Jerry Lee Lewis
singing and pounding the keyboard, and Google immediately confirms that`s him,
from ``High School Confidential`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. I had thought that Brother Scare via WWRB was on one
transmitter, switching around 1300 UT from 3185 to 9385 --- but Oct 1 at 1216 I
found two different B.S. programs running, and both frequencies on at once. Our
cup overfloweth (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SPAIN. The show I have been hearing on REE in the 1300 UT hour Mon/Tue/Wed,
replacing Cl?sicos Populares, ``is La Vuelta al Mundo en 80 Libros``, which is
running during Sept and Oct, originally aired in the summer on Radio 3. That
explains bits of Don Quijote, Animal Farm and Peter Pan (I guess, character
Wendy) heard here and there, such as on 17595 Oct 1. Webpage all about it:
http://www.rtve.es/radio/20080707/como-puedo-escuchar-descargar-vuelta-mundo-libros/112952.shtml
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 17565 with open carrier already at 1332 Oct 1. Greenville warming up
for 1400-1415 broadcast in Spanish. Probably on briefly and then turned off
until continuous warmup starting around 1345, the usual pattern (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [non]. AFN via Guam, 5765-USB, Oct 1 at 1237 with string of
mini-features. This is a great service as no other station bothers to strip the
commercials if any and aggregate them in a row, and at exactly the same times
day after day. ``Loh-Down on Science`` was running, about a device mimicking
mosquito bites for drawing blood; see http://lohdown.org as produced by KPCC. I
have also run across this dropped into various public radio programs. At
1238:30, Pat Carrollton CBS feature ``Raising Our Kids`` and what to do if a
head gets bumped. Then privacy-is-important-in-the-armed-forces, so don`t-
eavesdrop-on-your-roommate PSA. 1241 ``Golf Minute`` which quickly lost my
interest (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. The het against undermodulated CFRX 6070, Oct 1 at 1249 was
around 6068-6069 and went off promptly at 1250:25*, probably Korea North (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

Czech Republic, 11600, Radio Prague, 2045-2100, Noted a program of
Spanish languages features and conversation. Generally the signal was
fair, but there was fading which degraded the quality. (Chuck Bolland,
October 1, 2008)
Vatican State, 11625, Vatican Radio, 2054-2100 Noted a male and
female in French language comments and news. At 2056, some kind
of choral singing heard. Sounded like religious chanting. At 2057,
the usual Italian NA heard briefly. Signal was good. (Chuck Bolland,
October 1, 2008)
Australia, 11650, Radio Australia, 2100-2108, With World news lasting
until 2105, the financial crisis mentioned often. Signal was weak and
there was loads of interference present. (Chuck Bolland, October 1, 2008)
Unident, 9635, 2130-2145 Steady African type music with French
comments by a male. Music continues during period. I want to call
this Mali, but I can't find anything where they are active these days?
Well the best thing to do is stick around and maybe I'll get an ID on
the hour? This music is giving me a headache; so if I don't make it
until the hour, you'll know why. 2153 UTC, seven minutes to go.
Ouch! At 2200 the announcer returns, speaking an African
language (non-understandable). Didn't catch a signal word or phrase.
Signal remained fair. (Chuck Bolland, October 1, 2008)

** CUBA [and non]. RHC`s English program at 23-24 UT is supposed to be only on
9550 --- to Rio de Janeiro? To the Caribbean? Who know? But I was monitoring
11800 at 2301 UT Oct 1, and guess what --- RHC opening English, not unusual for
this frequency to be running overtime past scheduled 2300* in Spanish.
So I then checked 9550 --- just open carrier! Then I checked 9600 --- and there
was RHC English // 11800. Modulation on 9550 came up around 2303. It came to
pass that 11800, bothered by QRDRM from 11790-11795-11800 HCJB with 4 kW aimed
110 degrees from Pifo, cut off sometime between 2305 and 2307, but 9600 kept
going past 2330 as if it were intended.
BTW, RHC does not announce its frequencies at the beginning of English hours,
which is a very good idea since they change from day to day, and the studionix
are in no position to know them, unlike an axual monitor in faraway Oklahoma.
Also, while listening to RHC on 9600, I could barely hear the Vatican IS
underneath at 2314, but did not notice whether they still had a 2.5 minute
English service just before it; RHC was much stronger.
DentroCuban Jamming Command was busy jamming nothing the evening of Oct 2,
early UT: at 0010 on 9515 vs R. Rep?blica which closes at 0000 (but heavier
jamming on its axual frequency 9640 to the extent that RR was inaudible); also
against nothing on 5890 and 6110, which are VOA Spanish frequencies not opening
until 0030 and then not exclusively for Cuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** ECUADOR. HCJB`s Kulina service on 11920, Oct 1 at 2253 with carefully
enunciating preacher referring to Matthew XXIV, pronounced in Portuguese, at
2253 and again at 2256.
I figured they would have moved much further into the NT by now, since my last
log of this on May 10 found them also citing Matthew XXIV.
Either they`re really hooked on this chapter, or more likely, they have
recorded only a few programs in this exotic language and play the same ones
over and over. And just like 5 months ago, the speaker was faded out rudely at
2259:30 with no outro or closing, just in time for the automated introduxion to
the Portuguese service which follows (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** EGYPT. R. Cairo notes Oct 2: at 0012, 9360 with open carrier, or almost so:
straining to make out any traces of modulation I thought I heard ``Qahira``
mentioned; this is scheduled in Arabic to S America. Meanwhile, 9280 at same
time had good modulation with Arabic music; this is English to North America at
2300-2430, commonly mis-listed as Arabic, e.g. in Aoki, since schedules
emanating from ERTU repeatedly overlook this English broadcast and people are
also ignoring my correxions about it in DXLD! Here`s another chance to do so.
At 0014, also checked 6290 and found that good in an Arabic drama, W&M
alternating (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** EQUATORIAL GUINEA. On Oct 1 I did not get around to checking 15190 for R.
Africa until 2250, too late for modulation but not too late for a big open
carrier they had not yet turned off (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. I finally had a chance to check XEPPM`s program with an English
title ``On the Road`` per their website SW schedule for 6185, at 0015 UT. Oct 2
at 0015 music, then segu? into a romantic song in Spanish, but by 0019 the
announcer was talking and it soon became clear that this is a series presented
in Spanish about Jack Kerouac`s ``On the Road``, at its fiftieth anniversary.
Plus hiway SFX, and even at 0020 the theme music to ``Ruta 66``. Now we know.
Wikipedia:
``On the Road is a novel by American writer Jack Kerouac, written in April
1951, and published by Viking Press in 1957. It is a largely autobiographical
work that was written based on the spontaneous road trips of Kerouac and his
friends across mid-century America. It is often considered a defining work of
the postwar Beat Generation that was inspired by jazz, poetry, and drug
experiences. While many of the names and details of Kerouac's experiences are
changed in the novel, hundreds of references in On the Road have real-world
counterparts.`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PRIDNESTROVYE. Radio PMR still on 6040 to NAm, Oct 1 at 2339 check in
German, which alternates every quarter hour with English and French. As
important as it may be, German is not a language native to Moldova or to North
America, but very much a minority language at best, not even worth DW`s trouble
to broadcast to NAm, so why does PMR aim it at us? Probably because they have
someone on staff capable of translating and reading their propaganda in German,
which is useful for the European service, so by golly, NAm gets it too (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** VENEZUELA [non]. In the Oct issue of BDXC-UK Communication, page 39, appears
this: ``RNV, English at 2300-2330 is now on 15250 (ex 13680) via Cuba. Heard by
Glenn Hauser (DXLD) on 6 September with the usual heavy-accented translations
from Spanish to English.``
I said no such thing. Here is that log item verbatim: ``** VENEZUELA [non].
RNV, 15250 via Cuba, Sat Sept 6 at 2314 in English, YL with tedious enumeration
of constitutional articles concerning corruption, apparently trying to dismiss
such charges against Ch?vez in the 1990s, made only worse by her didactic and
heavy accent. . . (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)``
I said nothing about 13680 one way or the other, but this transmission has been
on both frequencies for years, not one moving to another, and reconfirmed on
both Oct 1 at 2343 in Spanish. I also did not say English was at 2300-2330.
Editors are eager to pin RNV`s English to specific times, but in fact it
appears at irregular times, usually mixed in with Spanish segments (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

RX: G303e Antenna: 100m longwire QTH: Kabul, Afghanistan
7385 CHINA/TIBET, PBS Xizang, Lhasa, 1630 with EG service on 1 Oct.
Announcers trying to read the news over a too loud disco mx bed, talk of
construction projects planned for the area. Jeez, this tx'er needs help!
Mx audio was at an OK level, but the voice audio was distorted and slightly
echo-ey. Very hard to understand even on AM-wide setting. Booming signal,
all fives, but audio and occupied bandwidth were splattered like a rotten
tomato +/- 10 kHz. Am trying to send them an email to give them a heads up
(and get a QSL, of course)...tried calling, but it was a no-go. I'll use
the sat-phone tomorrow if I have to. Same problem noted to a much lesser
extent on 7310 at 1740, although not nearly as bad in Mandarin language (and
playing US folk music!). Their compressor limiters and/or compellors need
desperate adjustment!
11905 SRI LANKA, SLBC, banging away from around 0800 GMT here in Kabul on 1
Oct. Almost an S4 signal with female DJ and lots of subcontinental music.
Xmits in local languages, however the address was given in EG several times
asking for reports and there are EG IDs as well. When last I had occasion
to listen to them (pre-tsunami) they were playing pop and rock mx. Must
have been a serious change of heart!
12095 PHILIPPINES, FEBC Manila, reasonable sigs at 1055 GMT in Khmer on 1
Oct. Lots of station IDs at 1059 and then signal greatly increased to S5.
Carrier did not leave the air, so antenna switch is doubtful, perhaps power
increase. Tx'er is listed as 100kW.
12120 GUAM, KTWR, 1120 Mandarin service on 1 Oct. Sermon or lecture in
mandarin by OM. This guy did not come up for air for the full show!
Finally got station station IDs and jingles at 1159 GMT just before
sign-off. Fair signal.
