hurdle

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
Satellite radio service provider WorldSpace India?s plan to expand its business
locally and open additional revenue stream in the country ? through setting up
a studio for creating digital content and a call centre ? seems to have hit
regulatory hurdles.
WorldSpace India?s proposal to the Foreign Investment Promotion Board (FIPB)
has been deferred till the Department of Information Technology (DIT) submits
its views. Both the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting (I&B) and the
Department of Telecommunication (DoT) have informed FIPB that the matter is
beyond their working area.It should be noted that the licensing and regulation
of satellite radio comes under the purview of the I&B ministry, while the
allocation of spectrum for radio services is the responsibility of DoT.Hurdles
to the proposal from WorldSpace India also gained importance because its parent
company, WorldSpace Inc, has filed for bankruptcy protection in the United
States and are looking at its India operations to expand business.WorldSpace
India has sought the FIPB nod for setting up a wholly owned subsidiary that
will include setting up of a studio for carrying outsourcing, commissioning and
production of digital audio and
multimedia software programmes for both domestic and international market.
When contacted, a senior executive of WorldSpace India refused to
comment.According to the proposal, WorldSpace India wants to open a call
centre.It is also looking to import digital satellite receivers, data adaptors,
PC add-on cards and accessories and sell the same to the distributors and
dealors either as customs bonded warehouse sale or on a cash and carry basis.
However, WorldSpace India does not seek any fresh inflow of foreign investments
for its proposals.While I&B said that the web-based services are not regulated
by them so they can not comment, the DoT has informed the FIPB that WorldSpace
India?s proposal and the scope of work mentioned in their applications does not
fall in the ISP category therefore comments should be sought from DIT.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1
** BULGARIA [and non]. R. Bulgaria missing from 15700 Nov 11 at 1409, tho other
signals from the region were OK, e.g. GREECE on 15650. I hope 15700 is off the
air because they are fixing the spurs it was putting out. Neighboring Portugal
on 15690, tone test on 15710 were unimpeded; the latter presumably Cairo
following Indonesian transmission until 1400; gone a few minutes later.
R. Bulgaria still missing from spiky 15700, Nov 12 at 1411. I wonder if more
transmissions are missing one of their two frequency-transmitters, as
admittedly happened a few weeks ago (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [and non]. On weekdays, R. Rep?blica via Sackville 11835 starts an hour
later than weekends, i.e. 2300. But at 2200 Nov 11, DentroCuban jamming was
already running against nothing on 11835; it was however, lite. (Why don`t they
use dummy loads, when in standby mode? Ha!) Recheck at 2325, R.R. and jamming
both on in force.
Jamming was also running at 2325 on 9600, not against RR but against RHC in
French, ha ha, // 5965 which was not jammed. BTW, the 2300-2330 French
broadcast is supposed to be only on 5965, per
http://www.radiohc.cu/espanol/frecuencia/frecuencias-espanol.htm
RHC, 12000, reciting evening transmission schedule just before closing in the
morning, Nov 12 at 1457, including 6180 at 0200-0500, which reminds me, I have
not heard RHC on that frequency in weeks; is it really on? (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CZECHIA. 11600 with fife and drum, Renaissance music had me guessing, Nov 12
at 1427, soon resolved at 1429 by R. Prague IS and off, so that was just music
fill after English to S Asia, and presumably // 13580 to NAm (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GABON [non]. Africa Num?ro Un still missing from 17630, Nov 12 at 1414 and
1504 checks, just CRI English via Mali in the clear. That probably also
eliminates the blockage of Antarctica on 15476 at 1800-1900 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GERMANY. New signal on 15185, Nov 11 at 1443 with South Asian songs, unID
language talk concluding with ``amen``, post box address in Orissa. Per DX Mix
News, Bulgaria, this is ex-13830 which was colliding with R. Solh --- Gospel
for Asia via Wertachtal, 1330-1500 at 90 degrees in ``SE`` Asian languages, but
seems S Asian to me (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also SOUTH
CAROLINA [non]
** INDONESIA. VOI, 9526, Nov 11 at 1357 check in English interviewing someone
about music in Banjarmasin. Reconfirmed Nov 12 at 1355 with Indo rap (or monkey
rap? Quite a cross-cultural combination), English announcement. This is in the
so-called ``music`` segment at the end of each transmission (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PHILIPPINES. Tuned 9760 for VOA News at 1500 Nov 11, but nothing there ---
cut on a minute late, news in progress at 1501. Transmitter just switched from
9345, both on the beam USward. O well, the news is just filler until the
Spe-cial Eng-lish at 1505. 9345 was also missing after 1400 Nov 12 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DGIEST)
** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. Brother Scare, 17485, Nov 12 at 1502, good signal but
crummy internet feed with artifacts in speech, theme music. Then found
synchronized // approx. 17540 fading in and out, and likewise on 17430, ergo
spurs from 17485, which during this hour only is 160 degrees from ``Jew-lick``,
as R. G. pronounces the German transmitter site (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** SPAIN. Checking 11780 for scheduled Sephardic weekly broadcast by REE to S
America, UT Tue Nov 11 at 0115+ I was hearing continuous pop music, more likely
from Brasil. 0135 recheck, yes it`s Brasil, in Portuguese; I can`t really
detect anything under it, and Spain is not making it on 11680, poor to nil
propagation from Europe. However, it is inadvisable to broadcast on 11780 to
South America when there is a South American station on 11780! The final
repeat, for NAm at 0415-0445 UT Tuesdays, was confirmed on 9690, not 9650, at
0430 check Nov 11 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TURKEY. VOT, 12035, Wed Nov 12 at 1405 concluding Letterbox by recommending
the TRT-4 stream for those who like Turkish classical music. That`s button 4 on
the bottom side of the player at http://www.trt.net.tr/wwwtrt/canli.aspx since
the one at the top labeled TRT-4 is for television. Ah, just brought it up,
nice music, except for news on the hour, when they keep playing non-classical
music underneath, the news being just too boring to listen to without a music
bed (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U K [non]. BBCWS in English, which had been missing from 5975 the last few
days due to flooding in Thailand forcing the relay station off the air, was
back Nov 12 at 1335, something about WWII, and recheck 1431 in news headlines.
Weak but clear, about the same as Thailand had been, so where is this coming
from now? Andy Sennitt, Media Network heard from VTC that Nakhon Sawan would
not be back until next week. There could be multiple secret substitutions for
the idled 4 x 250 kW transmitters, and we hope they were not actually damaged,
but the only substitutes we have been told about concern three other
transmissions moved to Madagascar (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. KJES, 11715, I rarely hear tho I scan 25m every morning. It was
weakly audible with off-key singing, Nov 12 at 1402, with CCI and SAH; slightly
better at 1425 check, and more so at 1456 but still poor overall. Per EiBi the
other station on 11715 this hour is R. Liberty in Uzbek via Lampertheim,
GERMANY. So the question remains: is KJES irregularly on the air, or is it just
propagation, as it`s really too close and mostly skips over OK? FCC shows the
3-hour KJES transmission at 14-17 changes azimuths each hour from 70 to 350 to
150 degrees. Most favorable for here is certainly 70, but the later hours with
MUF buildup might still make it better here later on the others. No, recheck at
1627, still singing, and still very marginal signal but without the QRM (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [non]. 13645, Wed Nov 12 at 1406, screaming American gospel huxter,
suffering from vocalized breathing/gasping, worked himself into a lather with
frequent amens; fair signal with some flutter. Per EiBi this is Pan American
Broadcasting via Wertachtal, GERMANY, to S Asia. Those lucky South Asians! Or
should that be Ban American broadcasting? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. A slow sweeper descended the 31m band, putting swishy QRM across
each station it met, Nov 12 at 1350-1352, at the rate of roughly 100 kHz per
minute, tracked from 9700 down to 9500. Ionospheric sounders normally sweep by
at a much faster rate, so what is this? I also noticed the same a few days ago
on another band but did not log. The carrier is quite dirty (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 6074, Nov 11 at 1400: nothing audible from 8GAL this time, as RR
6075 closed. Presumed Russian military, 8GAL audible again Nov 12 at 1400 on
6074: Radio Rossii 6075 carrier cut off after only one timesignal pip, and CQ
CQ CQ DE 8GAL 8GAL 8GAL K did not start transmitting until almost a semiminute
later as I was about to give up; fortunately, I had the BFO on. Very weak, but
audible (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. Someone has started running DRM on 11700-11705-11710 interfering
with Radio Japan! Tune-in Nov 12 at 1358 to find DRM dominating, NHK Yamata
barely audible underneath concluding Indonesian. From 1400 much stronger NHK
Sackville atop, but DRM noise still audible underneath; 1429 Sackville off,
uncovering another minute of NHK direct from Yamata where it is allowed to
complete its sign-off routine, and DRM still there. Prime suspect is HCJB,
which is scheduled with DRM in Portuguese but only at 1500-1700! Why turn it on
early messing up R. Japan? It`s only 4 kW at 110 degrees from Pifo, but plenty
of signal back up here (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

Albania, 6110, Radio Tirana, 0001-0031+ Station came on the air with
National Anthem type music while a male spoke in Albanian Language(pres).
His first comments dealt with the stations schedule and frequencies. Since
his comments were Albanian, I was only able to pickout words such as
Kilohertz, Frequency and Albania, all in that language. This was followed
with news where after each report from the field(?), the reported said,
"Radio Tirana". Later the station broadcast music. Signal was good with no
QRM.
At 0030 a female gives ID and more comments in Albanian Languae.
