In case you overlooked or never received our earlier invitations to
enter this new competition from the Radio Heritage Foundation, here
it is! It closes on February 14, so if you haven't sent your entry in
yet, now's the time to do so!
If you've already entered, then thanks and good luck!
Please accept this personal invitation to visit www.radioheritage.net
and enter our Art of Radio Hawaii competition. Friends, family and
colleagues are also welcome to enter, so please tell everyone!
To celebrate Hawaii's 50 years of statehood in 2009, the Radio
Heritage Foundation [www.radioheritage.net] is running a new
competition open worldwide.
It's on-line exhibition 'Art of Radio Hawaii' features great art work
of letterheads and logos from Hawaiian AM radio stations since the
1930's, and is already amongst the most popular content at
www.radioheritage.net.
To enter the competition, simply visit the 'Art of Radio Hawaii'
exhibition before February 14 2009, and send an email to
[email protected] headed 'Art of Radio Hawaii Competition' with
the answer to this question:
What is the callsign of the Hawaiian AM radio station that began
broadcasts in 1957 from the Kaiser Hawaiian Village Hotel in Waikiki?
You'll see the art work for this station logo in the exhibition,
along with many others in a nostalgic tour of the island state's
radio dial.
The prize is a brand new copy of the 2009 World Radio TV Handbook
that also contains a full list of all 32 AM and 57 FM radio stations
on air in Hawaii today. It also includes many website details, so you
can listen in to your favorite Hawaiian radio stations wherever you
live in the world!
Judges decision is final and no correspondence will be entered into.
Entries are only by email and must be received by February 14 2009.
As a condition of entry, your email address will be added to a
mailing list to receive newsletters and other mailings from the Radio
Heritage Foundation.
The Radio Heritage Foundation is a registered non-profit organization

Russia, 6075, Radio Rossii, 1104-1120, Male in steady Russian language
comments until 1107 when ID given over bridge music. This follow with
a second male talking. Signal quality was fair with some fading. (Chuck
Bolland, February 11, 2009)
Bolivia, 6080, Radio San Gabriel, (Tent),1118-1130 Been sitting on this
freq since 1108 listening to a female in comments. However, that was not
San Gabriel, but "possibly" HCJB. At 1118 a second signal faded in with
Bolivian type music mixing in with HCJB. At 1122, when the music ends,
a male begins talking in Quechua. Both signals were poor. Notice the
Tentative tag. (Chuck Bolland, February 11, 2009)

** AUSTRIA. 17610, extremely repetitious HOA music, 6 notes + 6 notes over and
over, Feb 11 at 1455-1458:45*. My guess was Amharic, but Eibi lists this as AWR
Moosbrunn in Afar. I wonder how many Afari Adventists they have accumulated so
afar? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** IRAN. 13800, ME music, Feb 11 at 1406; this is VIRI Arabic service via
Zahedan, fair signal, much better than Brother Scare via Germany on 13810. Then
checked 15545 Sirjan and that was barely audible but seemed // 13800 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. I have some observations about digital TV being disrupted just as
tornado was hitting OKC, posted on TVDX lists and in upcoming DXLD 9-014 (Glenn
Hauser, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ROMANIA. Repeating my finding of a few weeks ago: yes, RRI`s 11970 frequency
is on the air for the English broadcast at 1300. Even tho I could not hear it
at all the day before, Feb 11 at 1348 it was just barely audible with folk
music, and English announcement. But why was the Romanian language service on
11940 incomparably stronger, and despite the DentroCuban Jamming bleeding over
from 11930?
11940 is Galbeni, 300 kW at 285 degrees to France
11970 is Tiganesti, 300 kW at 307 degrees to British Isles
So 11970 ought to be putting in a better signal here than 11940, as we are much
closer to 307 degrees; yet, it`s just the opposite. Is there some unknown
disparity between the two transmitter sites, their new antennas, or the real
power of the transmitters, both supposedly new ones? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** ZAMBIA [and non]. CVC, 13590 Lusaka, inbooming Feb 11 at 1353 with hyper
British-accented DJs (are they really Africans? Does this really originate from
studio in South Africa?), discussing hyper-inflation in Zimbabwe, then rap
music to abrupt off at 1358:50. Now what? Your casual listener is not going to
know to switch to 13650, as I did a few sex later and it had already resumed
with same music continuing. 1400 1Africa jingle, hyped-up ``24 hour news
brought to you by CVC Media Africa``, axually just headlines by YL with
constant music bed, starting with cholera spreading from Zimbabwe to other
countries; 1403 a semi-minute of sports by OM including a US basketball score;
IDs, URL; 1404 starting show seemingly called ``Ebon-Edge``.
Then at 1409 I checked 15745, the CVC frequency via J?lich, GERMANY, and found
the same rap crap, frantic DJs, except not // --- well, almost. Turns out to be
running about 10 seconds ahead of 13650; 1415 seeking affiliates in Africa who
can get CVC programming free with unspecified benefits! Such a deal. 15745,
however, was marred by constant OTH radar pulses, centered on this frequency;
see UNIDENTIFIED (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 15730-15760, presumed OTH radar, Feb 11 at 1415, causing heavy
interference to 1Africa, CVC via Germany 15745, right at the center of the
pulsing. Kept thinking OTH would move on, but still going at 1446. The
30-kHz-wide OTHR has been heard at many different spots on 15 MHz, so it`s
surprising they would pick one colliding so directly with a broadcaster (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

This strengthens the case for the validity of shortwave over broadcasting

Cuban dissidents urge U.S. to keep Radio, TV Marti
Wed Feb 11, 2009 12:55am GMT
http://uk.reuters.com/article/mediaNews/idUKN1032742620090211?sp=true
HAVANA, Feb 10 (Reuters) - Cuban dissidents on Tuesday urged the
United States to continue beaming Radio and TV Marti to the communist-run
island, despite recent U.S. criticism that the broadcasts reach few Cubans
and have questionable journalistic standards.
They said the two outlets, which are directed by the Miami-based Office of
Cuba Broadcasting agency and aimed at supporting opposition to the Cuban
government, provided a useful voice in a country where the media is state-
run.
"It has to be assured that these important transmissions to Cuba continue,"
leading dissident Marta Beatriz Roque said in a press conference in the
Cuban capital.
"It is also indispensable that they be effective in eluding or counteracting
interference by the (Cuban) regime," she said.
A recent report by the U.S. Government Accountability Office said surveys
had found that in the past year only 1 percent of Cuba's 11 million people
had seen or heard the broadcasts, which are jammed by the Cuban
government.
While Radio Marti can be heard occasionally despite the blocking, TV Marti
is virtually unseen on the island.
Radio Marti was established by President Ronald Reagan in 1983, while TV
Marti began transmitting in 1990. The Office of Cuba Broadcasting has an
annual budget of $34 million.
The two are named after Jose Marti, a 19th century Cuban hero of
independence.
The Cuban government considers the broadcasts a violation of international
laws and an attack on Cuban sovereignty. The United States has said they
provide objective programming not found in Cuban media.
The GAO found some Marti programs wanting in journalistic standards of
balance and objectivity and that news programming included
unsubstantiated stories from Cuba.
Cuban dissidents, who are considered U.S. mercenaries by the Cuban
government, have sometimes complained that Radio Marti does not reflect
their own views. (Reporting by Rosa Tania Valdes; Editing by Jeff Franks

China, 5050, Guangxi Broadcasting Station, (Pres) 2327-0009, With a decent
signal at tune-in, noted a female in possibly Vietnamese language comments.
She continued during the period until the station began to fade at 2347.
>From that point until 0009, all that I could hear was the carrier.
According to WRTH, the Voice of the Strait is suppose to be here also
during the 2300-2359 hour and to sine off at 2359, while Guangxi stays on
the air. The carrier of the station stayed on the air even beyond 0009,
suggesting that this was not the Voice of the Strait by it's schedule.
Checked for parallels and couldn't hear any for either station. Signal went
from fair to nil heard for audio. (Chuck Bolland, February 11, 2009)
Chad, 4905, RD. Nationale Tchadienne, 2158-2210 , Before the hour, noted a
period of steady drum beats until 2200. On the hour the beats stop and a
male in French language comments with news etc. At 2203 a female
comments further in French. Signal was fair. (Chuck Bolland, February 11,
2009)
