On a Short Wave forum I work for, a friend posted a very interesting comment
regarding Passport To World Band Radio and the issue of not to publish this
fine publication on a future. Anyone please have any further news on the
theme?

** BIAFRA [non]. Did not get around to reconfirming VOBI via WHRI Friday July
17, but I did July 24 --- yes, still on 15665 at 1900, usual stuff, protracted
musical opening ceremonies, before getting down to anti-Nigerian business
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake July 25: at 1259 nothing on 8400, and poor on 9000, checked
just in time before going to open carrier at 1300. At 1326 poor on 13970 with
totally-percussion passage; 1328 JBA on 14430 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** CUBA. RHC July 25 at 0635: Spanish on 11760, 6140, 6120, 6000; English on
6060, 6010. This is the usual pattern lately, but not always. Have any of these
changes been made on its own schedule,
http://www.radiohc.cu/espanol/c_frecuencia/frecuencias.htm ---? Of course not!
Still shows all except 6120 in English until 0700, and no Spanish on any
frequency in the 05-11 quarterday; 6120 listed only for Esperanto Sundays at
2330-2400, tho it`s been running long Spanish hours at night for weeks.
BTW, take a look at the flag icons for linx to language pages atop the
imaginary frequency schedule: English = UK, Spanish = Spain, French = France,
Portuguese = Portugal, and Esperanto = green with a star in the corner on a
white field, as: http://flagspot.net/flags/qy-eo.html
Thus are ignored the much larger areas speaking respective languages which are
surely primary targets of RHC: USA, Latin America, Brasil. And Portuguese is
still `EM CONSTRU??O`. I say USA rather than NAm, since RHC aims its beams at
various US cities, Canada never mentioned, maybe gets overlap, who cares? But
displaying Old Glory on the RHC website is no doubt forbidden by the PTB as it
might imply some recognition or respect for Enemy #1. So why don`t they speak
English with a British accent? It`s hard enough for some of their announcers to
speak understandable English at all (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [and non]. 11880 with lite clicking, July 25 at 1323, but unlike
yesterday, this was before the DentroCuban jamming on 11930, and no match on
11980. So my theory that these were matching spurs from a jammer on 11930 is
not borne out. However, it could still be a Cuban jamspur. 11845 was grinding
away; 11880 clix still audible at 1359, BFO helps, as 11930 Greenville in open
carrier atop jamming building up.
At 1400 modulation cut on in musical theme rather than fading it up (no finesse
at IBB), and R. Mart?`s lead story, week in review was a political prisoner in
Holgu?n on a hunger strike since July 14. Funny, never heard about that on RHC.
Cuba has plenty of political prisoners of its own yet only talks incessantly
about those in the USA, implying that we have a monopoly on injustice. Big Lie;
propaganda by omission (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CZECHIA [non]. Most nights after 0500, WRMI is inaudible on 9955 and we
wonder if it`s really on the air, but July 25 it was in well at 0630 with
expanded R. Prague relays going from English to Spanish. Also VG after 1400
with more Prague in English, mini-features including one lamenting that smoking
is being banned by neighboring countries even in bars and restaurants; and that
Czechia is losing movie-produxion business from abroad due to lack of
state-of-the-art technical facilities (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** EQUATORIAL GUINEA [and non]. Now that `Tony Al?mo` has been convicted July
24, how long will it take for SW outlets to cancel his shows? Still awaiting
sentencing and appeal, however.
The WINB schedule http://www.winb.com/bypgmsch.htm still lists, probably one
hour each, in EDT = UT -4:
Tony Alamo
Mon-11:00A, Mon-03:00P, Mon-06:00P, Tue-11:00A, Tue-03:00P, Tue-06:00P,
Wed-11:00A, Wed-03:00P, Wed-06:00P, Thu-11:00A, Thu-03:00P, Thu-06:00P,
Fri-11:00A, Fri-03:00P, Fri-06:00P
Or put slightly more concisely: M-F 1500, 1900 and 2200 UT! The first two
should be on 13570, the last on 9265. We have certainly heard him on WINB
lately when tuning around.
What about WWCR? Aha, the program schedules tho still dated July 1, both in pdf
and text, have removed him as of July 25, showing M-F at 8-9 am CT = 13-14 UT
on 15825, as TBA! We have surely still been hearing him during that hour since
July 1, I think even this past biweek during the Texarkana trial, but now he
must really be gone.
As for Radio Africa, who knows the schedule, but he has often been heard around
2200 on 15190. Since programming runs months behind, cancellation there may
also be delayed. Panamerican Broadcasting does have a webpage for this:
http://www.radioafricanetwork.com/ but no schedule.
Watch out for the sound effects. If you click on a sample program, the only way
to get rid of audio is to navigate away from the page; presumably hidden flash
player. Also under construxion in the lower right corner are three levels of
streaming. Getting that to work directly out of Equatorial Guinea is apparently
still a challenge.
Alamo has his say, boy does he, on this site:
http://www.alamoministries.com/content/english/index.html
and also his radio schedule page shows several times on Equatorial Guinea, none
of them matching the above, including imaginary 7190:
http://www.alamoministries.com/content/english/radiobroadcasts/radio.html
This info has long been outdated, but still shows WWCR, WINB, and also European
Gospel Radio (IRRS/Slovakia) Monday at 0430 on 5990. That airing also appears
on its own current schedule, 0630-0730 MESZ:
http://www.nexus.org/NEXUS-IBA/Schedules/mon.htm
It should also be interesting to check out if and when the domestic USA
stations are canceling him. It could well be that even with life in prison his
broadcasts will go on; after all, you don`t even have to be alive to enjoy a
thriving radio ministry (Glenn Hauser, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U K [and non]. 17530, July 25 at 1330 with news in Persian. I could swear I
heard ``Farda`` mentioned, but jingle soon matched that used incessantly on
television`s BBC World News (in English which we get via OKLA 13.2 M-F delayed
at 2130). Yes, 17530 is BBCWS Farsi at 1230-1500, 500 kW, 95 degrees via
Rampisham. Only fair signal and fading down by 1339. Unlisted in PWBR `2009`.
17640, July 25 at 1332 with B-B-C- chimes IS over and over at odd time of hour,
still at 1337. Next check at 1349 was in talk and music, fading out before I
could decide on language. Must have missed opening at 1345? After a
quarter-hour of IS wasting watts? Both Hausa and Burmese start on BBCWS at
1345, but neither scheduled on 17640. However, Aoki shows English via Ascension
at 13-17 on 17640, so maybe that was just a feed loss filler (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. Altho on the air when I first tuned around before 1300, WINB missing
from 9265, July 25 at 1404, which is normally prolonged on Saturdays with
Brother Scare and the Sabbath instead of switching to 13570 as on other days.
There was a JBA signal on 13570, but could be VOA S?o Tom?, which collides with
WINB from this and later two other African sites until 1700. Did not sound like
Scare, nor at 1605 recheck, and not // 9385 WWRB or 15420 WBCQ --- but these
three are never in synch, anyway.
He`s still on the WINB schedule http://www.winb.com/schedule.htm Saturdays all
the way from 1200 until 2100, but strangely broken up into 5 segments: 12-13,
13-14, 14-17, 17-2030, 2030-21. Maybe these blox were sold separately as he
kept adding time? Altho we had heard it many times, the WINB schedule does not
admit to keeping 9265 on late Saturdays only for Stair (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. Altho VOA was loud and clear on unscheduled 11725 Friday
July 24 before and after 1400 with Music Mix, just as I suspected, it was
nowhere to be heard the next day, July 25 at 1305 and several more chex during
the hour. Some VOA programming is on a M-F basis, so possibly it will be back
on Monday, if not another of those unexplained one-off anomalies, tests or
mistakes.
At 1318 I tuned up to 11740 for VOA Korean via Tinang, which was in an English
lesson, Sinatra`s ``Fly Me to the Moon`` word by word, phrase by phrase,
re-spoken, spelled out and idiomatic meanings explained in Korean. I can`t help
but wonder at the VOA studios in Washington how much they think they are
talking to North Korea and how much to the South. VOK announcers could use a
few pointers about how to speak non-stilted English (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. As expected after a few days` maintenance, WEWN back on the air for
the weekend, UT Saturday July 25 at 0544 on 11520, interesting discussion of
Gregorian chant, and also the spur on 11530 bothering WYFR.
And at 1315, with WEWN on 11530, now the spur is on 11520, again bothering
WYFR. Gets `em one way or `tother. Catholix vs Camping cultists! With BFO on
one can also hear matching spurs on the opposite sides of WEWN fundamentals

? H?la queridos parceors, panas y patas !
Due to the lack of any sporadic E openings lately (and the huge amount of them
back in late June when I used to woke around 1PM when the Es was winding down),
I decided to take a look over youtube and see what the Romanian DXer Zvartoshu
has received...
I came upon this video and I almost believe its a fake: Colombian station heard
on 88.7 Mhz in ROMANIA via double-hop F2 skip - it must be a fake... The F2 has
not even reached the old Eastern bloc OIRT-FM band at 65-75 MHz, so how can it
reach 88.7 MHz ?
Check out this video... is there some TEP scatter or some TEP linking to
double-hop Es, I mean Colombia to Brasil, then Brazil to northern Africa, then
Es to Romania, but it sounds splendid ! I tried to meet this guy when I was in
Romania, but he didn't seemed very interested in meeting another DXer...
Anyway, here is the video to watch out !
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tuVbgDZ5F68&NR=1
Cada uno dentre nosotros sabe que la propagaci?n en la FM tiene un m?s peque?o
alcanzo que sobre onda larga, media o corta... Con la falta de abiertura E
esporadicas durante la ?ltima semana y mi pasi?n tan grande para el DXismo, he
tratado de mirar videos sobre YouTube... No puedes adivinar como me siento
cuando miro que un DXista venezolano ha logrado una emisora COLOMBIANA en la FM
en Rumania con una video sobre YouTube para probar... Pienso que Rumania es
mejor que Canada para el DXismo FM, pero de todos modos, la propagaci?n
este-oeste desde Colombia hacia Rumania en la FM me parece imposible... o tal
vez una mezcla de TEP y de Es pero a?n eso me parece muy lindo... El peor es
que los DXistas que han escrito comentarios sobre ese video no han parecido tan
sorprendidos... Todo eso me parece un sue?o fuera del cual tengo que
despertarme... pero si me gustar?a lograr una emisora FM de la costa norte de
America del Sur, ?claro!
Puedes disfrutar ese video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tuVbgDZ5F68&NR=1 es
malicioso ha puso s? computador frente al WiFi a cerca de s? camera web y,
luego, ha abierto s? tuner FM sobre una frecuencia vac?a...no... ?que cobard?a!
He tratado de encontrar a ese DXista extra?o durante mi ?ltimo viaje sin
exito...ser?a interesante de hacer DXismo consigo - es el mejor DXista TV-FM
que nunca he conocido...
Tambi?n, alguien en Irlanada a logrado a escuchar algo desde Alabama en la FM,
pero eso es un poquitito m?s cercano... Espero que Mike Bugaj va a conseguir
ese video sobre ABDX o WTFDA...
? Hasta pronto - me siento enga?ado por ese video tan malicioso !

The 88.7 ``Colombian`` has already been discussed at great length including in
DXLD. It turns out there is a relay in SPAIN of the Colombian station.
Alabama FM to Ireland, on the other hand, has been verified. Paul Logan also
got several other eastern US/Canadian FM stations in that obviously multi-hop
Es, not F2 opening.
