** ANGUILLA. Caribbean Beacon finally back on the air after missing since Sept
5, heard Sept 13 at 0455 on 6090 with PMS; also on 11775 at 1308 with DGS. Some
reported 11775 back on as of Sept 12 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake Sept 13: at 1255 nothing on 8400, poor on 9000.
9985 at 1306 Sept 13, CNR1 jamming mix with VOA Chinese, via Saipan, same as on
9845, where VOA is via Tinang; 9985 is used by VOA only for this single hour,
and consequently the jamming; WWCR 9980 had not built up to super-strength yet
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. RHC, Sunday Sept 13 at 1453, slow marches by military band, on 15360,
13780, 13760, 11760; is that the end of the scheduled La Cultura en Cuba show?
Was looking for Alo, Presidente channels, but none on the air this week: 13750,
13680, 12010, 11690. Back on 13780, at 1457:30, end music without any
back-announcement, RHC ID as for ``Norte, Centro y Sudamerica, y el area del
Mediterraneo``. The latter is iffy, and certainly not at this hour; included
clip from Fidel announcing years ago that Cuba now had an international radio
voice; and multilingual ID I had not heard before: Spanish, English,
Portuguese, Esperanto, Arabic, Quechua/Guarani (or vice versa?), French,
Creole. At 1500, 13780 cuts modulation to open carrier, vs Austria-via-Canada
starting 13775, but 13780 still on at 1505.
Spanish continued past 1500 on 13760, 11760; I gather some revolutionary hero
had died, so that might explain the martial music earlier. 11760 is supposed to
be in Esperanto at 1500-1530 Sundays, but that language must be the lowest
priority, getting no respect, and easily bumped off. Aside from its novelty,
doesn`t matter, as its content is the same old crap as in the other languages,
five-heroes obsession, etc. (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U K. 13690, at 1559 Sept 13, BBCWS with `V` interval signal, but hiccuping
at the first dit, 1600 timesignal and opening Russian via Rampisham, bothered
by WYFR on 13695. Which BBC services get the V and which get the B-B-C- note
chimes? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. Unlike the previous morning, WWV indeed audible on 2500 as late as
1250 Sept 13 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

** ISRAEL. 15778.00, Galei Zahal, 1955-2005, Sept 12, slightly off
nominal 15785 with local pop music. Hebrew talk. // 6973 - both
frequencies weak. Thanks to tip from Wolfgang Bueschel.
And heard the next day, Sept 13, at 2025 on 15785.47v with a
slightly wobbly signal. (Brian Alexander, PA)
** SUDAN [non]. via Slovakia, 15650, Miraya 101 FM, 1501-1510,
Sept 13, time pips at 1501 followed by English ?Miraya 101? IDs and
English news about Sudan. Gave mirayafm.org website. Into
Arabic at 1510. Poor in noisy conditions. (Brian Alexander, PA)

Successful IBC for DRM
from DIGITAL radio mondiale - News
The complete global DRM standard, with standard enhancement to include DRM+ for
broadcasting at frequencies up to 174 MHz, and DRM Receiver Profiles were both
unveiled at IBC this week.
At the DRM Consortium?s annual networking event on Friday 11th September at the
IBC ?Beach?, senior members of the Consortium provided updates on recent DRM
developments including the availability of commercial receivers to the large
audience.
Event guests from around the world were given further updates from countries
such as India and Russia where DRM30 has already been officially declared as
the system of choice for digital switch-over and heard reports about the recent
DRM+ test transmissions that took place in Paris. There were live demos of the
complete DRM standard with its unique features including DRM+ in Surround
Sound. Guests experienced the live broadcast of the BBC-DW DRM channel for
Europe on Uniwave and Himalaya receivers.
Chairperson Ruxandra Obreja, expressed satisfaction at the successful event,
?The DRM Consortium event welcomed over 120 guests to be present at the release
of the DRM Receiver Profiles. Broadcasters, industry experts, regulators used
the opportunity to obtain further information on the recently standardised DRM+
and the progress of DRM around the world. Participants told the Consortium
representatives that the 3-hour event was a great success.?
