Samoan Radio Survives Tsunami
Brave Broadcasters Defy Danger
_____________________________
The recent earthquake and devastating tsunami affecting Samoa,
American Samoa and northern Tonga brought forward several shining
examples of radio broadcasting dedication in the face of extreme
danger says the Radio Heritage Foundation.
KKHJ-FM activates emergency warnings
____________________________________
In Pago Pago, American Samoa, the morning DJ at KKHJ-FM felt the
earthquake and activated emergency warnings immediately. Lupe Lohmann
then broadcast calls for residents to head for higher ground and by
the time she realized that a tsunami was heading up Pago Pago harbor
towards the studios, it was too late for her to leave.
She stayed on the air as surging waters smashed into the ground floor
of the Pago Pago Plaza, home of KKHJ-FM. You can hear her interview
with the BBC describing the events at
www.newsbbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/8281616.stm and look at photos of
the devastation caused by the tsunami at the KKHJ-FM website
[www.khjradio.com ]where you can also listen to KKHJ-FM streaming live
and see more images of the temporary studios being used at the
transmitter site.
Pago Pago FM Towers
___________________
For images of the KKHJ-FM tower high above Pago Pago visit
www.radioheritage.net and click on the article 'Pago Pago Tower
Tour'. Other features about American Samoan radio can be found at the
same website - 'WVUV Radio Romance' and 'This is WVUV'.
According to the World Radio TV Handbook [www.wrth.com] there are
five FM stations on the air in American Samoa [population 61,400] and
in addition to KKHJ-FM, live streaming is currently available from
KSBS [www.ksbsfm92.com] and KNWJ-FM [www.fm104.org].
2AP 540 AM stays on the air
___________________________
Across in independent Samoa, another DJ also stayed on duty as the
earthquake struck the islands. Radio 2AP broadcasts at 540AM from sea
level near the capital, Apia, and Epati Tamati felt the earthquake
and also realized a tsunami was likely. He also chose to stay on the
air, accepting hundreds of calls from worried and frightened
listeners and broadcasting emergency messages.
You can see a photo of Epati inside the 2AP studios and read his
story in the article 'Radio Man Risks Life for Listeners' in the
October 7 edition of The New Zealand Herald newspaper online at
www.nzherald.co.nz.
Radio Polynesia moves to the hills
__________________________________
Olga Keil of Radio Polynesia in Apia is also reported on the BBC
Asia-Pacific website with her comments about the earthquake. You can
find this story at www.newsbbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/8282115.stm
and find out more about the four stations of Radio Polynesia at
www.fmradio.ws.
Since the earthquake, the staff have been broadcasting from makeshift
studios in the hills behind Apia, close to their transmitter complex.
According to the World Radio TV Handbook [www.wrth.com] there are one
AM and eight FM stations on the air in Samoa [population 178,000] but
none of the local stations currently stream services online.
The Radio Heritage Foundation recommends reading the following
features about radio in Samoa at its website www.radioheritage.net:
'Radio in Samoa', 'Samoan Radio Sale', 'ZMAP Apia Samoa' and 'Samoan
Radio Journey' for more information about 2AP, Radio Polynesia and
other stations.
RNZI Pacific Coverage
_____________________
We also recommend staying tuned to Radio New Zealand International
[www.rnzi.com] for breaking Pacific news and live reports from
reporters in Samoa, American Samoa and Tonga as tsunami
reconstruction continues.

just weak enough where it was very difficult to make out the details. More
comments and music ensue during the period. Signal was poor. (Chuck

** AUSTRALIA. 120m VL8s all audible Oct 7 at 1228, and seemed // in music, then
YL talk: best on 2325, then 2485 and worst on 2310. Really all JBA vs local
noise level. Later dates and monitoring earlier hours should improve them
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake Oct 7: at 1251, good on 8400, poor on 9000. At 1425, still
good on 8400, JBA on 9000 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. RHC Oct 7: at 0540, English on 6140, 6060, 6010; Spanish on
reactivated 6120 and JBA 6000. Another frequency missing yesterday was back Oct
7, 11800 distorted at 1315 in Spanish.
Several of the DCJC frequencies are accompanied by jamming spurs on each side.
While the center frequency is a wall of noise, perhaps only one transmitter is
doing the spurs, at a rate of 2 pulses per second, such as at 1256 Oct 7
covering 10-15 kHz each side of 9805 and 9955. Same setup observed around 7405
earlier circa 0530.
RHC 13780 transmitter still squealing, Oct 7 at 1337, very strong and much more
noticeable here than on WWCR 13845 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDIA. The AIR 9470 Aligarh extremely distorted blob covered 9475-9485
opening at 1318 Oct 7, initially cutting on and off // clear Bengaluru 9425
with AIR IS. Now it`s blocking R. Australia in Chinese on 9475. Has RA filed a
complaint with AIR? That might get some axion after four months of this
nonsense! By 1427, the blob ranged 9470-9490 and RA was undetectable under it.
The AIR 11585 transmitter had a big signal at 1430 Oct 7 but also a big hum
marring the Sindhi service via Delhi-Khampur. Wiggle that patchcord! (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. VOI, 9525.9, good carrier but no modulation audible at all during
the alleged English hour, Oct 7 at 1302 and several more chex, e.g. 1328. See
PHILIPPINES (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KOREA NORTH. The sole occupant of the 105m band, KCBS 2850, with martial
orchestral music, Oct 7 at 1230, VP vs noise level, slightly better than the
120m Strines (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PHILIPPINES. 9520 with instrumental music at 1325 Oct 7. Dialing by feel, at
first assumed I was on 9525.9 for VOI, but that was an open carrier. At 1327,
9520 went to ID in English as Radio Veritas Asia, Quezon City, the next
broadcast at 1330 to be in Sinhala, repeated at 1328; 1329 into Sinhala
announcement, 1330 IS and march theme, 1333 giving P O Box in Q.C. Fair signal
for something so far off-target, per Aoki, 250 kW, 280 degrees from
Palauig-Zambales site at 1330-1357, balanced during following semihour by Tamil
on same parameters. During the few minutes I listened, nothing overtly Catholic
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** RUSSIA. 7320, R. Rossii via Magadan, Oct 7 at 0525 with circus music, a bit
of it reminding us of Looney Tunes & Merrie Melodies; 0530 brief announcement
introducing a pizzicato piece; 0533 into the Vladimir Danov show, discussion
with an academic about organ music? But no more music for 2+ minutes so I move
on. Good signal (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** RUSSIA. 9440-9450 noise blob, Oct 7 at 1304: could it be the Aligarh
transmitter on early? No, that appeared on 9475-9485 at 1318, see INDIA, and
9445 noise still there at 1322. Looked up later in Aoki, it`s DRM! VOR to S
Asia via Irkutsk-Odinsk, 15 kW, 234 degrees at 1200-1600 in Russian, Hindi this
hour, then English and more Hindi, and the DRM DX schedules have it too on 9445
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. Usually takes a very strong signal from WWCR to detect any squeal,
but Oct 7 at 1337, PMS was less than solid on 13845, but squeal still audible
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. OTH radar pulse observations Oct 7, all ranges approximate: at
1245, 5740-5790 bothering AFN GUAM on 5765; also 6910-6960 and 6785-6825; at
1340, 14385-14410. The last was quite strong peaking around 14395 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

Greetings,
We are experiencing some excellent over the pole European conditions on
MW. Tonight around 0200 UTC (Oct 09), I heard a station on 855 khz
running a Slavak language program. Romania is listed as Network 1, but I
would guess Romanian. There is a 50 KW Russian listed, but I would be
surprised if that was it. Does any European DXer have an idea what I
heard? I do have a tape of it.
Thanks.
