El informe negativo de Radio y TV Mart?
Parece que se acab? lo que se daba
http://www.cubaperiodistas.cu/noticias/febrero09/13/03.html
El Duende
El ambiente amaneci? funerario por los predios de Radio y TV Mart?
cuando se conoci? el resultado de la investigaci?n ordenada por el Congreso
Federal sobre la audiencia y el impacto de las trasmisiones de ambas
emisoras dirigidas al pueblo de Cuba en las que se invierten todos los
a?os in?tilmente la generosa suma de unos 34 millones de d?lares sin
que apenas haya unos pocos que les presten atenci?n.
Seg?n el informe, TV Mart? no se ve en ninguna parte de Cuba y la
emisora Radio- Mart? apenas la oye el uno por ciento de los
posibles radioescuchas, seg?n una encuesta realizada en la isla a trav?s
de la Secci?n de Intereses de Estados Unidos, lo que representa un
rotundo fracaso de audiencia.
Pedro Roig, el director de Radio y TV Mart? acaba de regresar de
Washington a donde fue en gestiones de ?salvamento? pero aunque no
ha querido hacer declaraciones a la prensa, por la cara de velorio que
pone cuando le preguntan qu? va a pasar con las emisoras bajo su
direcci?n, es m?s que elocuente que espera lo peor. La ?ltima
esperanza que tienen es que entre los senadores cubanoamericanos, el
dem?crata Bob Men?ndez y el republicano Mel Mart?nez, unidos al apoyo
de los congresistas tambi?n cubanoamericanos, el dem?crata de Nueva
Jersey Albio Sire y los republicanos de Miami, Ileana Ros y los hermanos
Mario y Lincoln D?az Balart, estos logren, con la mayor?a dem?crata
del Capitolio una f?rmula de compromiso que salve de la guillotina a
Radio-Mart? a cambio del cierre definitivo de la emisora de
televisi?n. La operaci?n le
ha costado a los contribuyentes norteamericanos la respetable suma de
unos 500 millones del d?lares desde que sali? al aire Radio-Mart?.
Pero parece que se acab? lo que se daba.
Lo que se dice es que el cierre de TV Mart? est? fijado para el
pr?ximo 20 de mayo y que no habr? velorio ni entierro, solo
incineraci?n que es m?s barato y es lo que est? de moda en estos
tiempos dif?ciles de recesi?n. Consummatum est.

Continua a propaga??o ruim. Apenas para n?o perder o salutar costume do dx fiz
umas escutas nos 31 metros e pela manh? quando me levantei junto com minha
esposa que ia para o trabalho. Como podem ver nenhuma novidade, ? o que chega
constantemente aqui, salvo a Mong?lia que n?o me lembro de j? t?-la logado, mas
? uma transmiss?o de 250 kW. Como os colegas sabem n?o gosto muito de logar
emissoras com mais de 100 kW, como disse um colega meu e experiente dexista do
Sul: "abaixo dos 49 metros ? broadcasting", e eu concordo com ele. A propaga??o
dificilmente lhe proporciona algo interessante nessas faixas, os r?dios
digitais, sejam l? quais forem, proporcionam uma f?cil sintonia ? absoluta
maior parte dessas emissoras em um local razoavelmente livre de ru?dos.
Acontece que nas faixas boas para o dx os ru?dos da rede el?trica voltaram a me
perturbar de forma a desestimular-me. Em ondas m?dias estou ainda a criar
coragem para montar a loop e tentar tamb?m criar est?mulo para uma mo!
dalidade a qual n?o sou f?, mas tenho consci?ncia que ? uma modalidade para
bons dxs. O problema n?o parece estar somente comigo, observem que as listas
nacionais e internacionais est?o com uma baixa movimenta??o de mensagens e
logs, infelizmente as tabelas e previs?es continuam a n?o obterem na pr?tica a
melhora esperada. Bom, para essa ?poca chata que atravessamos o certo ? fazer
umas escutas e enviar uns relat?rios para d? trabalho ao carteiro, rss. Ru?dos,
PLC, diminui??o das tx em HF, aumento de pot?ncia das emissoras, r?dio
digital... Tudo isso e outros motivos est?o pondo em jogo o nosso hobby em
nossas resid?ncias colocando apenas o prazer quando nos programamos para um dx
camping, o que no meu caso n?o ? f?cil apesar de morar com f?cil acesso a
locais rurais. Geralmente junto conosco est? a fam?lia e conciliar fam?lia e
dx, um hobby de extra terrestres, como os colegas sabem ? muito dif?cil e ainda
mais aos que n?o possuem um amigo que tenha o mesmo gosto pelo r?di!
o em sua localidade ou pr?ximo a ela como ? o meu caso. Como n?o h? na
da de interessante n?o vi motivo para grava??es. Dificilmente logarei algo
nesse final de semana com essas condi??es, vou locar uns filmes (inclusive ?
mais f?cil encontrar um dx de 1 kW da Indon?sia a encontrar um bom filme hoje
em dia) Que esse final de semana seja repleto de bons momentos de lazer aos
colegas e se a propaga??o e os ru?dos deixarem, um bom dx.

Unident, 4800, 1008-1115, I usually have two carriers around 4800 kHz.
One is GTM and the second is Mexico, but not this early. This morning I
heard a station exactly on 4800 KHz with a male in rapid Spanish comments.
The character of the talk sounded religious. The male talking
lasted until about 0413 when music was presented. I can hear GTM on
4799.80 with a very clear signal, but this unid is on 4800 eactly. A few
months ago, someone heard a Bolivian here with the name of Radio Catolica
Mundial. Could this be that? At 0122, music ceases and a male
talks in a normal tone. After the hour, a long religious discourse by a
male. Noted words like "Bibia" and "la Luz". Couldn't pull out any other
details since the signal was too weak. (Chuck Bolland, February 14, 2009)
Peru, 6195.78, Radio Cusco, 1050-1100 Noted typical music at tune in i.e
flutes and precussion. At 1057 a male in Spanish language comments with ID
as, "... Radio Cusco ..." while the music continues. Signal was poor.

** CHINA. Firedrake not only on 8400 and 9000 as often the case, but also on
9300, Feb 12 around 1445. This too is in Aoki as a 1 kW Sound of Hope
transmitter, also tying up more Chinese jamming. This monstrous country is
scared to death of what tiny SOH may have to say (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA [and non]. 6030, Feb 14 at 1357 with DentroCuban Jamming Command
pulsing vs. Chinese from CNR1 program // 6040 and 5030. CNR1 went off 6030
after timesignal at 1400, uncovering something weaker, presumably India,
Cyprus, and/or Calgary, but the jamming continued. Commies vs Commies! The
Cuban jamming is overrun against R. Mart?, which closes 6030 two hours earlier!
and CNR1 is axually Chinese jamming, per Aoki, against ``Ming Hui Radio
1300-1400 1234567 Chinese 100 325 Tanshui TWN`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** DESECHEO. Heard the big ham DX-pedition to this tiny island in the Caribbean
west of Puerto Rico on 14190-USB, Feb 14 between 1422 and 1444. During that
entire period I never heard the word ``Desecheo`` mentioned once. The op there
IDed only as ``K5D`` without fonetix, but he used a lot of fonetix on the
stations he was calling, ICAO alfabet except S = sugar, e.g. calling an SN4- at
1428. What`s he got against sierra? I am baffled why so many hams mix up their
fonetik alfabets; is this deliberate or just carelessness, or ignorance?
Among the calls logged were ON4QX at 1423, then ON4EB, 1424 ON5JV; hmm, what a
coincidence, three Belgians in a row. Was this set up? Every so often,
including amid these contax, K5D mentioned ``200, 220`` meaning he was
listening on 14200 and 14220 (or 14200 thru 14220?); yet every so often someone
would call him on 14190, which hi-traffic DX-peditions try to keep free for the
DX station only.
W3LWH didn`t get it, calling periodically on 14190 at 1420, 1431, 1432, 1432,
1434; at least he made it quick with nothing but his call, and we were to
assume he was really trying to contact K5D. Then at 1433 someone said ``Oscar
Lima`` a few times on 14190; not sure what that meant, just spoiling? AM
carriers too at times on frequency. At 1443 someone equally exasperated with
W3LWH and some others interjected that K5D was ``listening up``, and ``what a
zoo`` --- I agreed and had enough. A new DXCC country is safely in my log,
unless I heard the last DXpedition there.
Much of the time, there was a much stronger SSB ham on the low side around
14185, so not good on the wide FRG-7; best reception on the ICF SW07, which I
break out for such special occasions, as always just using the Sony loop in the
south-side window. I also tried 7084 a bit earlier before 1400, but no sign of
K5D there, just a strong Mexican(?) on 7087. Nor did I have any luck around
0700 on 3781 or 1843.3, other frequencies publicized for the K5D DXpedition.
Also checked 18165 and 18145 at 1445, but not there either.
This Desecheo DXpedition also got me thinking about the whole deal. Just once,
it would be nice if a DXpedition to a rare island promulgated some slightly
different rules, such as: each contact must last at least one minute, and
include: not only call, signal report, but also handle, location by town, state
or country, and a factoid about that location. The DX station would do the
same, especially the factoids. What`s the point of going to an exotic place and
not saying anything about what it`s like, its history, obstacles overcome,
etc., etc. Here`s a bit about it on their website:
http://69.89.25.185/~trexsoft/t-rexsoftware.com/desecheo/about.htm
But this would drive the DXCC crowd batty, as it would reduce the supremely
important goal of racking up as many meaningless contacts as possible.
The derivation of the name of the place should be interesting. The root in
Spanish refers to refuse, or throwing stuff out. This page confirms it means
``thrown away``:
http://www.dokufunk.org/amateur_radio/dxcc_entities/index.php?CID=4728&lang=EN
Another thing: at very little additional cost, such a DXpedition could also put
a SW broadcast station on the air! One more transceiver, and antenna (or
diplexing onto another one) could be dedicated to broadcasting prepared
recorded one-way programming about the place. Preferably on AM, but we`d settle
for SSB; preferably in a broadcast band (just one will suffice), or at least in
a fixed band outside the ham bands. Turn it on and let it run, not interfering
at all with the ham activity. This should not be a pirate, but duly authorized
like the ham operation, so there is no question about counting it as an SWBC
country.
In places under US jurisdixion like Desecheo, this could be accomplished with
an experimental license, which would bypass all the unreasonable requirements
for a regular SWBC station, like 50 kW minimum, step-by-step construction
permit, program test authority, etc. Experimental licenses are routinely
granted by the FCC for all kinds of stuff with some scientific or covert
purpose. Dream on: tho a lot of hams are allegedly also SWLs, I bet this idea
has never been seriously considered, and certainly never fulfilled (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** EQUATORIAL GUINEA. 15190, must be R. Africa heard at a much earlier time
than usual, Sat Feb 14 at 1541, sounds like the jailed Tony Al?mo with his
low-key preaching; next check at 1555, a YL was on instead, talking about
visiting Mali and Mozambique. I bet if I had been listening between the
off-timed programs, there would not have been any ID, anyway. Unlike some other
signals on 19m, this one had no flutter fading, sufficient with no QRM, rather
like Morocco 15345 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** HONDURAS. HRMI has been missing lately from 3340, but it was active Feb 14
at 0646 check with music, 0706 talk in Spanish; presumed ID as nothing else
there and when active habitually runs late- or all-night; poor with quite a lot
of fading, and frequency a smidgin on the low side. Yes: earlier in the evening
Brian Alexander measured it on 3339.99 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KOREA NORTH [non]. JSR, Shiokaze, 5910 confirmed in English again this
Friday, Feb 13, at 1414 check with heavy accent talking about N Korea. No
jamming or other QRM audible, but insufficient signal. Even worse 24 hours
later, and not in English (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ROMANIA [and non]. 15235, Feb 14 at 1545 a bit surprised to hear a song in
Spanish, but this turned out to be the Arabic service of RRI via Galbeni, 1547
YL speaking Arabic, 1548 song in Romanian(?), 1555 IS and off after frequency
announcement. Heavy flutter. At 1605 a weaker signal from Channel Africa in
French had taken over 15235 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** RUSSIA [and non]. Feb 13 at 0700 I was tuned to 7200, hearing R. Rossii ID
and timesignal mixing with R. Bulgaria IS. Ex-Commies vs ex-Commies! The two
deliberately collide since R. Rossii is Yakutsk scheduled all the way from 2000
to 1600, 100 kW non-direxional; R. Bulgaria is starting a broadcast in Spanish
via Plovdiv 250 kW, 258 degrees, to Spanish Morocco and nearby countries (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SAUDI ARABIA. 15435, BSKSA, now with a very big buzz at roughly equal level
to the Arabic modulation, Feb 14 at 1543, and still at 1604. Much weaker //
15225 without buzz (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. WCKY, 1530, Cincinnati OH, Feb 12 at 0641 tuneby,
Brother Scare mixed with audio noise bursts. Not local QRN, but transmitted
that way, bad feed. Once great station not only takes no pride in its
programming but in its engineering (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SPAIN [and non]. REE, Amigos de la Onda Corta, at new time 0605 UT Sat,
instead of originally publicized 0505 UT, Feb 14 monitored on webcast. If I had
been listening on SW, would have been on 5965 via CR. NOT on the frequencies
mis-announced at the beginning of the show. Tho they had corrected the time
from 0505 to 0605, still listed the frequencies in use at 0505, including 6055
and 3350, which are off the air after 0600! After 0630 I was listening on SW
and confirmed those two were off, 6055 already occupied by Nikkei, Japan; as
REE`s companion mailbag show Cartas del Oyente was starting, again with listing
of all times and frequencies for it, but still with both wrong time and
consequently wrong frequencies, `0530` including 3350 and 6055! Will REE ever
get its act together?
Among topics on the DX program was an interview with someone from the S500 club
in Valencia on the campaign to get `diexismo` and `diexista` approved as real
words and entered into dixionary of the Spanish Royal Academy (DRAE). It might
help if these words weren`t mimicking English pronunciation of ``DX`` --- in
proper Spanish they should be spelt deequisismo, deequisista, but that isn`t
going to happen.
Also their definitions as explained were SWL-oriented only, including QSLing as
mandatory! I beg to differ --- one can DX in any language without QSLing, which
is an optional sub-hobby; the QSL-maniax cannot imagine doing one without the
other, and try to dominate or denigrate the rest of us. Ignored also were hams
who use these same terms to refer to two-way contacts only.
Also monitored the Cariari relay`s behavior on Saturday morning, Feb 14: At
1552, big open carrier from 17850; 1559 both this and 15125 had sign-on message
also mentioning 9765 --- 1600 is the start-time only on Saturdays. But after
one-second-late timesignal, 15125 went quiet, while 17850 started programming
with news. It was not until 1607 that the audio was faded up on 15125, program
about opera. Meanwhile I confirmed 9765 // but just barely audible. Will REE
ever get its act together? Oops, I already said that (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. A split-second check of WHRI-6, 11785, Sat Feb 14 at 1551 confirmed a
gospel-huxter was on instead of DXing with Cumbre. Checking the WHR online
schedule I see that DWC has finally been deleted from that timing, 1530, now
shown on 11785 Saturdays at 1830 UT only. So was DWC heard then? Of course not!
Not even on the air! But it was on the webcast (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST) ###

Germany, (non), 6045, IBC Tamil Radio, (pres), 0010-0035, Buried in
the splatter, the signal is just audible with a poor signal. Noted a male
in rapid talk while a female comments briefly with him. Could not ID the
language but it wasn't English or any other language I could give a name.
It
sounded like one of the many Asian languages however. At 0032, heard a
musical type story from a male - talk over a tune. At 0044 a female begins
to talk in length. At 0057 a male talks until the hour, then the station
stops
abrutly. Nothing heard after 0100. SignaL remained poor with splatter.

Iran, 6095, Voice of the Islamic Rep of Iran, (pres), 0235-0330 I've been
hanging out on this freq for almost an hour, trying to catch somekind of ID.
I heard a male mentioned "Iraq" a few times, but other than that, nothing
significant. Signal remained down in the poor range with hardly any muscle
behind the signal. Noted a female talking off and on during the period.
Of
course the language was a problem too since I could understand what it was?
At 0322 a female begins talking, but only briefly. The male returns shortly
in comments.
At 0326 the talking ceases and short music heard
until 0330 then off the air. (Chuck Bolland, February 15, 2009)
Unid, 6220, 0330-0400 Steady Popular music in English. Signal was very
good while in music mode. At 0344 ID by male ..."... on ... Radio" Missed
the ID because the fella was giving it over music and he was disguising his
voice while giving the ID. But I've listed a station called "Mistery Radio"
on this freq before? Signal was good except for the ID
part and occasional QRM. (Chuck Bolland, February 15, 2009)
