CROATIA 3984.84 odd [re Kai's comment] Croatian Radio in 75 mb is not
very strong these days, compared to powerful 100 kW signal on both 6165 and
9830 kHz channels daytime. S=8 at 2215 UT Oct 10th.
Whether the fountain like 75 mb antenna is not very effective to cover
central Europe too, or they produce only a strong signal 'CLOSE TO' the tx
site on the balkans. I guess the old 10 kW unit of the early 90ties is in
use in 75 mb during nighttime 2130-0600 UT, in B-08 2130-0700 UT, because of
the inaccuracy of approx. 160 Hertz less.
On Oct 9th at 2230 UT the transmitter at Deanovec was switched ON and OFF
never-ending, and signal was so POOR, like missing final stage booster that
night.

> CROATIA
They may register 3985 as 100 kW, but I seriously doubt that the power
is anything close to it, the signal strength rather points at just a
few kilowatts. Could be a 10 kW transmitter, using an antenna that can
not handle higher powers.

Bolivia, 6155.25, Radio Fides, (PRES)1000-1030, Same frequency where I left
this last evening during a Lightening Storm, heard CP type music with a
male announcer commenting in Spanish after the music. Signal really
peaked at 1015 UTC to a good level while two gents talk. At 1019
a female joins the group. Signal was fair to good until 1022 when it
began to fade to a poor level. (Chuck Bolland, October 11, 2008)

** CANADA. CFRX, 6070.0, weak but with somewhat improved modulation and no QRM
at the moment, Oct 11 at 1315 in talk program. Also seems to be on-frequency,
compared to KFTI-1070.0 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** FRANCE. 7220, Oct 11 at 0623, African drumming and chanting, interrupted by
announcements in tonal language. Off abruptly at 0630* with no perceptible ID.
Don`t recall noticing this before; list logging, could it be Central African
Republic, or Eritrea? No, just RFI in Hausa from Issoudun as scheduled at
0600-0630 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** LAOS [non]. WHRI missing from 11785 at 1326 during Sat Oct 11 broadcast of
Hmong Lao Radio, normally at 1300-1400. Just VOI 11786 producing het with
Firedrake and VOA. Recheck at 1423 found WHRI back on the air with rustic music
on Hmong World Christian Radio; 1430 DXing with Cumbre with Marie Lamb ? see U
S A (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PHILIPPINES. VOA via Tinang, 9760, Oct 11 around 1405 with World News Now,
signal suddenly degrades to weaker with more fading, then comes back to solid.
No interruption in modulation; happened twice for a few seconds. It is as if
there are two transmitters or antennas running at once, and one of them
momentarily drops off the air.
Hey, looking it up later in HFCC, there ARE two transmissions from Tinang on
9760 at same time! One is at 12-15, 21 degrees, and the other is at 13-16, 270
degrees. So the 21 dropped off for a bit, and the 270 stayed on.
Earth & Sky, now with only one presenter, runs at 1421-1423, then at 1423 silly
ballgame news, times apparently locked in to VOA WNN`s hourly clock (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WHRI, 11785, Sat Oct 11 at 1430, het from Indonesia 11786, DXing with
Cumbre, Marie Lamb saying she now worx for WCNY where the show is recorded.
It`s sister station to WAER Syracuse, her ex-employer. I expect they are in
same building with shared facilities.
Here she is on the WCNY staff list now,
http://www.wcny.org/content/view/63/120/
``Marie Lamb is a Central New York native and a graduate of the Setnor School
of Music at Syracuse University. Marie hosted classical and opera programs at
WIKE-AM, at the former Eisenhower College in Seneca Falls. She also hosted a
daily jazz program for many years at WAER-FM in Syracuse. Marie began at
Classic FM in 2002 as a staff engineer, and she can often be heard on the air
as a substitute announcer.``
with reduced image of her photo:
http://www.wcny.org/images/stories/Marie938small.jpg
Strangely enough, no mention of her SW broadcasting. See also LAOS [non] (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WEWN, 11560 in English, Oct 11 at 1325 with very rapid choppy flutter
and frequency also fluttering from Doppler effect. Strange propagation, not
affecting other US signals on band, tho something similar on CBCNQ 9625. Since
this WEWN transmission is at an azimuth of 335 degrees, my theory is that most
of the signal I am getting, so disturbed, is not direct, but backscatter from
the auroral zone. Their other two frequencies at the time, 7425 and 17510,
checked at 1328 and 1330, did not exhibit this. WWV reported the mid-latitude
K-index at both 1200 and 1500 as 5, but ``no space weather storms in the past
24 hours`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WINB, 9265, Oct 11 at 1448 with revival meeting, two or more people
shouting at once. Usual unstable carrier, warbling with BFO on, confirming it`s
WINB despite the fact that it is supposed to be on this frequency only until
1200, per FCC and HFCC. And WINB`s own schedule at
http://www.winb.com/schedule.htm claims it changes from 9265 to 13570 at 0800
EDT = 1200 UT.
One might have equally guessed 9265 was WMLK, on the schedules for 9265 from
1600, but that has been inactive for many months and this was certainly no
Elder Jacob O. Meyer speaking. Furthermore, this station had modulation, unlike
WMLK when it was on (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

I live approx. 120 miles away from the Pacific Ocean (and across a mountain
range) on the 302 degree bearing to Japan from my home southeast of Seattle.
Trans-Pacific MW stations don't often make it this far inland and/or stand
out from the local MW "blowtorches". This week, however, has been an
excellent one for TP reception in the Pacific NW.
The morning of October 9, though, was especially good. Take a listen to the
DX clips below, heard in Puyallup on a 35 ft. wide X 40 ft. high "Conti"
terminated loop antenna and Perseus SDR:
JOIB Sapporo is on 747, which was barrelling into Puyallup at 1400 UTC:
www.guyatkins.com/files/sdr/joib_sapporo_747_home_09oct2008.mp3
Also over the 1400 UTC top-of-the-hour was 963 China Radio International in
Russian:
www.guyatkins.com/files/sdr/cri_963_home_09oct2008.mp3
and at the same 1400 UTC time here is 972 HLCA:
www.guyatkins.com/files/sdr/hlca_972_home_09oct2008.mp3
All three are easy catches from the Grayland DXpedition site and other
coastal locations in the Pacific Northwest. To hear them this well in the RF
Jungle of greater Seattle over a hundred miles from the coast was a treat!

The Shortwave Report 10/10/08 Listen Globally!
by Dan Roberts
Thursday Oct 9th, 2008 5:30 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 (October 10) 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) (28:59)
(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- The Chinese government is angry over a new multi-billion
dollar US arms sale to Taiwan, and demands that Chinese nationals held at
Guantanamo Bay Prison be released. China's Premier says that the Chinese
economy is overall safe and sound. By Wednesday, China's Central Bank
cut interest rates and reserve requirements. The World Bank president says
that the G-7 or 8 is outmoded and needs to include Asian and Latin
American countries in setting global policy. India will launch its first lunar
orbiting spacecraft on October 22. President Bush signed a bill allowing US
civilian nuclear trade with India. Iran says it must produce its own nuclear
fuel because there are no guarantees that it can purchase it from the West.
A recent report projects that Iceland will lose its glaciers by the end of the
century.
>From NETHERLANDS- Radio Netherlands has announced that it will
eliminate shortwave broadcasts to North America on October 26. The
decision is based on their surveys that find very few listeners in N America.
If you ever listen to RN on shortwave, please let them know- by email to
letters [at] rnw.nl or send them a letter to Radio Netherlands Worldwide, PO
Box 222, 1200JG, Hilversum, The Netherlands.
Beside losing its glaciers, Iceland is losing its economy- Russia is going to
bail them out- the question is "what will they be asked for in return?" This
past June Irish voters rejected the Lisbon Treaty, which would have further
established the power of the European Union. Several serious EU politicians
think that the "No" campaign was financed by the CIA to inhibit EU
development.
>From CUBA- A US Judge ordered the release of 17 prisoners from
Guantanamo Bay Prison, which the Justice Department has appealed.
Protestors outside The US military base in Honduras have demanded the
base be closed. A review of the assistance given to Cuba after the
devastating hurricanes Gustav and Ike.
>From RUSSIA- A commentary on the recently deteriorating relations
between the US and Russia.
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!

New Euro DRM Service Will Launch in Early 2009
http://www.rwonline.com/pages/s.0100/t.15920.html
10.10.2008
Early 2009 is the target for a new joint radio service that will serve European
audiences via DRM shortwave.
It was announced in September by the BBC World Service and Deutsche
Welle; the English-language service will target Western and Central Europe,
with content including global news and current affairs, analysis,
documentaries and cultural programs.
In the announcement, Mike Cronk of the BBC World Service called this an
important time for DRM and "a huge opportunity" for broadcasters in Europe
to look at the potential for new services. "Two of the most important players
in international broadcasting are reaffirming their faith in the DRM standard."
Digital Radio Mondiale is a digital broadcasting system for bands below 30
MHz (long-, medium- and shortwave). Ruxandra Obreja is chair of the DRM
Consortium and the controller for business development at the BBC World
Service; she stated in the announcement: "Deutsche Welle and the BBC see
DRM as the winning solution for the digitization of the AM bands on a global
scale and they believe that this new stream for Europe will give a welcome
boost to international digital radio."
She continued: "Listeners in Western and Central Europe can now buy one
of the growing selection of DRM-capable receivers and hear in excellent
quality top-class programs that in recent years they could only access
online."
For recent reports on developments in DRM and in the leadership of the
consortium, see "What's Happening With DRM in the U.S." and "DRM:
Behind Its Targets, But Catching Up?".
BBC World Service is a U.K.-based international radio and online
broadcaster; Deutsche Welle is Germany's international broadcaster.

** ARGENTINA. It seems that R. Nacional is also back on the air, 15345v at 2114
Oct 11, hetting Morocco with sports, both weak (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** BELIZE. V31BG, 14220-USB, Oct 11 at 2244 calling QRZ in a novel way, for
stations with a 4 in their call, then a 5, then a 6. I guess that helps
alleviate the pileups while not giving preference to any prefixes before the
number. Google search soon shows this is Bill, VE7ISV, visiting Belize from 3
to 13 October. 5 & 9 here (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CANADA. CBCNQ, 9625, Oct 11 until 2230 with CBC Radio 1, The World This
Weekend, in the clear and listenable; then CBCNQ ID, and 2231:30 starting Laugh
Out Loud, season`s new comedy show (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. RHC, 13680, Oct 11 at 2126 after musical interlude wrapping up English
hour, // 11760 but an echo ahead of it. 13680 must have stayed on, as at 2236
recheck it was RHC in Kriyol --- one way to tell this from real French is the
suffix -la frequently added to words. Now 13680 is an echo apart from 5965. But
Kriyol is not scheduled on 13680, just runover? Still there at 2249 check, but
soon overridden by much bigger open carrier.
This is RNV also via Cuba in preparation for their 2300 broadcast, now aimed
usward. Kriyol continued to be barely audible underneath and if the relative
strengths evened just a bit, I could detect a SAH of 132/minute between them.
So add one more anomaly to the SNAFUs at RHC --- two of its own transmitters,
presumably at two different sites, interfering with each other. The left hand
does not know what the other left hand is doing (there aren`t any right hands
in Castro & Castro`s Cuba). DentroCubans vs DentroCubans!
While I was at it, checked 17705 at 2239, where RHC Portuguese was very strong
but also very overmodulated and distorted as also noted a few days before. It
was so bad that at first I thought it was Guarani, until my mind locked into
this corrupted Portuguese.
Wait a minute, Guarani *is* the language scheduled during this semihour on
17705 per own online sked at
http://www.radiohc.cu/espanol/frecuencia/frecuencias-espanol.htm
So I must have heard Guarani when I tuned in, but then they switched to
Portuguese, which is supposed to precede until 2230 and follow Guarani from
2300. Maybe the whole sesquihour is really a mixture, or they just don`t have
enough to say in Guarani to fill an entire semihour. Chalk up another anomaly
at RHC, where you can always expect the unexpected. Also strange: Guarani is
primarily spoken in Paraguay, not Brasil, so you would think the mixture should
be with Spanish. But for geographical reasons, the Guarani service is
co?rdinated with other minor languages (compared to Spanish, as RHC sees it).
DCJC bubble-jamming vs nothing on 9885, Oct 11 at 2142. VOA Spanish is on this
frequency much later; same sound on 9640 against R. Rep?blica which doesn`t
start till 0000, but now bothering CVC Chile on 9635.
9515 also being heavily jammed, Oct 11 at 2220, and that really is in use by
Radio Rep?blica at 22-24. Like many other Cuban jammers, this puts out spurs to
at least 10 kHz on each side. Rather than the `bubbling` on the main channel,
which is really a mixture of many jammers with the carrier of the victim, the
spurs are distinct pulses, at the rate of 132 per minute, or 2.2 Hz, and of
course any station which feels 10 kHz separation from the DCJC is enough has
another think coming.
At 2255 check, nothing at all audible on 9820, where Brasil`s R. Nove de Julho
had been, but also reported lately to have disappeared again. It would have had
no QRM from Portugal, or from RHC, since this was a Saturday, until 2300 when
jamming against nothing on 9825 started even tho R. Mart? does not come up on
that frequency until 0000 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** EQUATORIAL GUINEA. R. Africa, 15190, Oct 11 at 2115 with big open carrier.
No modulation detectable even when volume turned up to max. Left a receiver on
frequency and suddenly at 2125 started Word of Life program. In case it was a
quarter-hour, rechecked at 2140, but still going with woman preacher, verging
on screaming. 2157 recheck back to open carrier --- no, it isn`t. Soft spoken
preacher barely audible, probably the usual Tony Al?mo at this hour. This can
be misleading, as now the OC is WYFR, and the two seem to be zero beat, so you
don`t realize two stations are mixing. WYFR sign-on in Portuguese 2159 at full
modulation level, so that`s the end of Bata monitoring for today (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDIA. AIR GOS, 9445, 2159 UT Oct 11, ID by M and into news by W, poor, 325
degrees from Benguluru (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. KOKC, 1520, OKC, UT Oct 12 around 0108 on the caradio was weak and
getting lots of co-channel QRM, leading me to believe that once again they are
on greatly reduced power instead of 50 kW, maybe 5? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** PHILIPPINES. FEBC Manila, 9435, Oct 11 at *2223 with ID in Bahasa Indonesia
and IS, programming from 2229. So my previous report of this on 9445 was
probably in error (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WHRA, 11885, Sat Oct 11 at 2136 had a woman preacher with an
indeterminate Central European accent and a very limited vocabulary. She says
`vord` instead of `word` most but not all of the time. She interjects ``glory``
several times a minute, and was also praising God repeatedly for circumcision:
``the word of the gospel is a sharp two-edged sword`` suitable for the
operation, but our hearts should also be circumcised, whatever that means. I
don`t think she was talking about female genital mutilation. Per WHR online
schedule this is: ``Secret Of Eternal Life``, with Lilly Janian. She is not
going onto our Monitoring Reminders Calendar (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A [non]. 9355 with a heterodyne from something on the hi side, about
9355.1, Oct 11 at 2222. Only thing scheduled here is R. Free Asia in Cantonese
via Saipan, which per Aoki is jammed, so perhaps this was CNR-1 or some other
kind of interference. By 2224 the QRM seemed like a hymn, so could also be spur
from some FE gospel huxter (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. Glad to note that KXTR, Kansas City, 1660, is back playing classical
music, Dvorak`s New World Symphony, UT Oct 12, in honor of Columbus? Please; at
0110, instead of stupid ballgames which have pre?mpted its nominal classical
format a couple previous evenings checked. Not so enjoyable, tho, with all the
QRM from non-zero beat 1660 stations, producing multiple subaudible
heterodynes. There are 8 other US stations on this frequency, the most crowded
X-band channel, and it sounded like all of them were fighting KXTR for
dominance via non-direxional caradio antenna (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 9528, motorboating sound centered here, Oct 11 at 2145 past 2200.
Could be a jammer or a maladjusted transmitter. Possibly Voice of Vietnam-1,
9530, which per Aoki signs on at this very hour, but that`s just when I tuned
in and could have been on earlier. At 2258, noticed similar if not identical
sound on 9478 aside Radio Netherlands 9475 in Indonesian via Tinang (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###
