Radio Heritage News
Issue #23 October 2009
______________________
Hello, and welcome to the latest news from the place where popular
culture, nostalgia and radio heritage collide!
Whether you're enjoying spring or fall, I hope you'll also make
some time to come over to www.radioheritage.net where our new layout
makes finding features, stories, images and more so much easier.
There's so much freely available content that you really will
find the Google Search helpful - in fact, there are hundreds and
hundreds of pages of stuff about radio broadcasting across the
Pacific!
This issue I want to mention the fantastic dedication to duty by
people at several radio stations in the Samoas during the recent
earthquake and tsunami. At Pago Pago's KKHJ-FM and Apia's Radio
Polynesia [both radio heritage partners of ours] as well as Apia's
2AP, staff risked their lives to broadcast warnings and stay at their
posts in the face of extreme personal danger.
You can read our media release about their bravery at
www.radioheritage.net and if you're listening to Radio New Zealand
International's Mailbox program next week [www.rnzi.com] you'll hear
our latest documentary which looks deeper at the recent tsunami and
reflects on how lucky they were to survive - broadcasting in the
heart of the Pacific Ring of Fire - and how stretched are radio
resources in the region.
Our most popular content is now even easier to find.....look for
our colorful new icons for AFRS Armed Forces Radio Memories [30 plus
features]........ Long Lost Australian Radio Stars [35 entertaining
features]........ Pacific USA [almost 15 great features].......
Island Radio Pacific Style [over 15 exclusive features]....... the
growing Art of Radio series........ our well researched and
illustrated Radio Dial & Popular Culture features.....
Some of the new stuff you'll enjoy includes.....Japan AM Radio
Dial 1941 [fascinating look at what Japanese listeners heard as WWII
approached]...... WASA Radio Antarctica [inside the diary and
personal photo album of the southernmost radio station manager in the
world].........2LM Lismore [the latest in the incredibly popular look
back at Australian heritage AM radio stations of the 1940's]......
As well, we've made the Radio Guides easier to use and will be adding
in the next day or two our exclusive list of almost 70 Australian AM
stations operating in the almost unknown 1611-1701 AM dial.....plus
our New Zealand Low Power FM Guide now details almost 430 FM stations
currently on the air and some 900 now silent operations.
Whether you're visiting www.radioheritage.net to look for the latest
station information, station histories, personalities, radio design
[such as car stickers and art work], early amateur broadcasters, how
radio and popular culture have connected across the Pacific, or some
good media books.....I'm sure you'll enjoy what you find, and, it's
all free.........
We've also got some special thank you offers for donations
towards our radio heritage activities. In the year ended March 31
2009 our total income was just US$6300 and our operating costs were
significantly higher, so we genuinely welcome your financial support
right now.
........for every donation of US$10, we'll mail you 10 colorful Art
of Radio Japan postcards...... and for every donation of US$50
we'll mail you a copy of 'Voices in the Air' the classic and well
illustrated story of New Zealand's radio history .......
Check out some of our favorite websites: www.musicofyourlife.com
features streaming of easy listening standards of the 1950's
[including big band, swing, jazz and stars such as Sinatra] from Las
Vegas.....Thom Whetston is doing a great service for AFRTS fans at
www.afrtsarchive.blogspot.com [with some wonderful audio from greats
such as Charlie Tuna] and our good friends at www.radioinfo.com.au
cover the latest in Australian radio news, jobs and exclusive
interviews......
Behind the scenes, there's a lot going on here too, with initial
testing finally underway of our new interactive database....where
you'll be able to upload and share your favorite radio station audio,
YouTube clips, photos, scans of radio station memorabilia, articles,
features and much more....you can publish your own stories, oral
histories, research projects and much more with us as well....so this
will explode the website content!
So, whether it's spring or fall where you are, share some good
news with friends, enjoy life and make some time to come over to
www.radioheritage.net and start connecting popular culture, nostalgia
and radio heritage across the Pacific with us and thousands of
visitors like yourself.
Our thanks to our partners Apex Rental Cars [rental car], 2day.com
[website hosting], Procopy [printing] and PCWIZ2U [PC maintenance]
and to you all for your support, emails of encouragement,
contributions of memorabilia, and donations of funds towards our
operating costs.

Bolivia, 4796.46, Radio Lipez, 0950-1000, Noted a male in Spanish
language comments. Can't make out any details. It's one of those
situations where the audio is muffled and the signal is very poor. It's
like when one is listening to a song and the singer is humming the
tune instead of singing the words. It becomes very frustrating after
awhile. At 0957 a female comments with no help with the details.
Signal was poor to threshold. (Chuck Bolland, October 16, 2009)
Solomon Islands, 5020, SIBC, 1000-1010, The signal was very poor
as a female comments with the news. No other details for this.
(Chuck Bolland, October 16, 2009)
China, 5030, China National Radio One, 1004-1015, Note a male and
female in Chinese language news and comments. At 1007 brief music
used as a bridge while male continues to talk. Signal was poor.
(Chuck Bolland, October 16, 2009)
Russia, 5020, Radio Rossii, 1007-1100 Noted a two males in Russian
language comments. Can hear WBOH, but Rossii dominates this morning.
At 1010 ID as "Radio Rossii" heard. Heard parallel on 5940 KHz but very
weak this morning. Rossii on this freq was good. Rechecked at 1100 and
still with a good signal. (Chuck Bolland, October 16, 2009)
China,. 5925, China National Radio, 1013-1020, With two males sharing the
microphone, heard news and features in Mandarin language. Signal was
poor. (Chuck Bolland, October 16, 2009)
Brazil, 5990, Radio Senado, 1017-1030, Noted two females in Portuguese
language conversation. At 1023 canned ID followed with music. At 1026,
a male commences with Portuguese language comments until the half hour.
Signal was fair with splatter. (Chuck Bolland, October 16, 2009)
Peru, 4775, Radio Tarma, 1037-1050, In here with a male in Spanish
language comments. Following that, Huaynos music heard. There's
a lot of noise this morning due to the front that is coming. Ahead of it
a wall of rain which is producing a lot of noise as it travels south.
Tarma was at a poor level. (Chuck Bolland, October 16, 2009)
Indonesia, 9680, RRI Jakarta, 1057-1105, In here with music. At 1058 marching
type music until 1059 when a male comments in Indonesian language. He is
followed by a female. The march type music continues however. At 1100 a
female gives ID and more talk. Signal was better before, but now it's beginning
to fade into the noise. (Chuck Bolland, October 16, 2009)

** ANGUILLA. 6090 missing again Oct 16 at 0536 tuneby, but nothing else
audible, squeezed by 6085 and 6095 transmissions. Assuming it was off all
evening, should have been another opportunity for Ethiopia, etc. two hours
earlier. The odds are fairly good that Caribbean Beacon will be missing, so
keep checking (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. Lots of axion on 31m Oct 16 after 0600, when 25m was closed:
At 0603 on 9565, listing SW frequencies and asking for reception reports to a
phone number. This is S?per R?dio Deus ? Amor, Curitiba. At 0618 wacky wailing
preacher David Miranda, who occupies most of the SRDA airtime on more and more
SW frequencies, spreading like a cancer. He was also on 9665 at this time but
not //.
At 0604 a Brazilian on 9819.9, must be R?dio Nove de Julho, S?o Paulo. Poor
signal tho registering S9+10 on the generous FRG-7, but with deep fades. I have
had little luck hearing this in the afternoon or evening, and don`t recall it
being reported in the nightmiddle before, so now it`s 24 hours? Aoki shows it
24h, anyway. 0605 to a song, seems EZ listening music preferred, 0612
announcement, 0615 mention radio, Estado do Esp?rito Santo, 0616 mention
Aparecida, Nossa Senhora, none of which refer directly to the 9820v station,
where I have yet to hear its own ID.
At 0618 heard wacky wailing preacher David Miranda on 9665, but not // 9565.
9665 is R. Marumby, per Carlos Gon?alves` recent log; R. Voz Mission?ria per
Aoki and WRTH. The latter agree that schedule is supposedly 0900-0100. Once the
Mirandistas take over a station, they may expand its schedule. Note that from
Sunday Oct 18, most of the E & S states go on DST of UT-2, so stations which
are not 24h should be signing on and off one UT hour earlier.
At 0618, Brazilian talk on 9645v, i.e. Radio Bandeirantes, with a
slightly-varying het, as it`s always off-frequency beating against whatever is
really on 9645.0 such as the WYFR 9715/9680 mixing product.
At 0618, also Brazilian on 9675 and close enough to produce a subaudible
heterodyne with some other station; R. Can??o Nova (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** BURMA [non]. 9320 with music at 1331 Oct 16, good steady signal, uncertain
origin, but 1336 into Burmese announcement, mentioned ``Farewell, My
Concubine`` twice in as many minutes. This is scheduled as R. Free Asia; Aoki
says 49 degrees from Sri Lanka, but this does not sound like a transpolar
signal; instead, I believe the site is now Tinian (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. CNR-1 evidently covering some live patriotic event as heard // on
many frequencies, some of them legal, others as jammers, Oct 16 at 1242 on
7365, 7420 with ChiCom anthem, speaker resonating before a crowd. More of same
chauvinistic music at 1353 on 6030, 6085, 6095, 6110, 6150, 6180, 7420.
Firedrake, Oct 16: at 1245 poor on 8400, fair on 9000; at 1253 poor on 10210
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. RHC anomaly report Oct 16: there was NO telephone-ringing audible on
any of the frequencies! At 0535 on 6060, outro by announcer Alex (or is it
Oleg?) Silva, over to the YL announcer with a very heavy accent; she gave her
name too, but I couldn`t understand it due to mumbling and heavy accent.
At 0540, found 6140 in English this time; 6120 in Spanish with hum.
At 1254, the 11760 transmitter`s spurs were audible at least with matching
tone, and most of them also with RHC modulation: as low as 11452.8 and as high
as 12374.4, which is one step above previous accomplishment; and every 51.2 kHz
in between. At this hour the strong 11708.8 one is QRMing another RHC
transmitter, relaying Venezuela in Spanish on 11705.0. Way to go! (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDIA. On Oct 16 I was standing by for the Aligarh aberration to cut its
extremely distorted blob on the air, but never found it, so off the air today?
Have AIR finally realized this should be closed down until repaired? Don`t bet
on it. Could be off for any other reason, or spread out to even wider bandwidth
and less distinguishable from general noise level.
So I listened to National Channel on 9425 Bengaluru instead with its healthy
signal, altho weaker than usual today: 1316 tone test underway; 1318 IS starts
but with split-second audio dropouts, so this one has problems too but
relatively minor. 1320 Vande Mataram introduced and played, still with
dropouts. 1321 Hindi sign-on mentioned kHz thrice, so what`s the third
frequency? Then musical break/pr?lude. 1329 mentioned several kHz, so a MW
frequency listing now? 1430 2+1 timesignal and into news in Hindi. Meanwhile I
had been scanning frequently between 9.2 and 9.6 MHz, but no sign of the blob,
and no normal signal on 9470 either. And still not at final check 1448 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. 4750 with poor signal Oct 16 at 1315, presumably RRI. When I
first started checking at 1225, nothing extracontinental making it on 120, 90,
75 or 60 meter bands, contrary to my early-rising expectations (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NEW ZEALAND. If anything makes it on 25m these nites, it`s RNZI in AM on
11725, DRM buzz on 11670-11680, but nothing to be heard around 0550 Oct 16. Has
propagation totally dropped out, even from DU? No, all the RNZI frequencies
were back strong at next check 0623. Must have been down for maintenance (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** RUSSIA. 5920 with nice easy listening music // weaker 5940, and 5920 for
once without all that WBOH QRM which was absent, Oct 16 at 1230. 5920 is R.
Rossii, Pet/Kam, 5940 Magadan, but in B-seasons, 5920 moves to 6075, maybe
accompanied by the mystery CW marker at 1400* (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** SWEDEN. R. Sweden, 15735 in Swedish at 1304 Oct 16 but with heavy RTTY QRM.
Fortunately, RTTY was gone during English broadcast at 1342 check (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 5920 lacking WBOH so clear for RUSSIA, q.v., Oct 16 at 1230. There
have been unconfirmed reports that WBOH would be closing down permanently at
end of A-09, so gunjumping, or just another breakdown? WTJC, anyway, on 9370v
as usual at 1247 check, lofi hymns by choir with amateur piano accompaniment.
Still no WBOH at 1350 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WRMI, 9955 back on the air Oct 16 at 1448, VG signal on NW antenna
with WORLD OF RADIO. Trouble is, it was edition 1465 from a third of a year
ago, not current 1482; as also heard me introducing it on webstream check at
1430 Friday. This has happened before, as automation is reluctant to let go of
the old stuff even when new stuff has been uploaded; I hope not thus on other
scheduled repeat times (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. You can be a convicted child molester, and still be welcome to
broadcast on WINB as long as you pay up and pretend to be an evangelist: Oct 16
at 1246, Tony Al?mo on 9265 informing us all about confession. But he denied
the charges against him, since it`s Biblical to ``marry`` plenty girls past
puberty (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 6930-usb, Oct 16 at 1233, rap? music, distorted audio and
unstable reduced carrier, presumably a N American pirate at unusual time of
day. Gone at 1350 recheck (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. OTH radar pulses, presumed, the ChiCom kind roughly 50 kHz wide:
Oct 16 at 1244, 7460-7510, and astonishingly, this was strong enough to be
heard QRMing WWCR`s super signal on 7490, at the moment with the paranoid YL
reading article about HAARP. I bet some of her gullible listeners figured this
was HAARP trying to jam her! And still going at 1446. Also at 1246 on 8100-8150
not bothering much of anything (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. OTH radar pulsing, the British Cyprus kind presumed, roughly 25
kHz wide: Oct 16 at 1300 on 14590-14615 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

*0702-0720, Oct 16, abrupt sign on at 0702 after Cuba 6010 signed

I am considering buying one of those "reel-in" type antennas for use with my
Radio Shack DX-398 portable.? I found the following on Ebay, with the brand
name "Radios4U".
?
It looks to be a copy of the Sangean ANT-60 antenna.? Does anyone know anything
about this brand/type???Perhaps it's?the same thing, just with another brand
name?? Or, it's extremely inferior to the Sangean model?
?
