________________________________________
Australian AM Radio 1611-1701
Italian, Country, Arabic, Greek and Gold
________________________________________
Almost 70 low power stations are now broadcasting in Australia's
expanded AM radio dial almost two decades after the new channels
became available says the Radio Heritage Foundation which has
released a contemporary guide to them at www.radioheritage.net.
Originally populated by ethnic broadcasters and niche formats, the
situation remains little unchanged in 2009 as attempts to bring the
low cost extra frequencies into mainstream media have largely failed
to materialize.
Existing commercial broadcasters saw these licences as a dangerously
cheap back door into digital broadcasting and lobbied strongly to
exclude 1611-1701 AM stations from digital entitlements. Coupled with
poor availability of AM radios able to tune to the new frequencies,
attempts by commercial aspirants like Radio 2 to establish economics
of scale and a nationwide network collapsed.
In 2009, the major players on air are Rete Italia [part of the
Italian Media publishing and media group], Radio 16 The Goanna [a
fledgling country music network co-owned with 2ME an Arabic language
station], Smart Group's Hot Country from Queensland, whilst a small
foothold in the band has been claimed by Queensland based Christian
network Vision FM.
A small cluster of independent stations air a variation on the 'Gold'
music format of 1960's hits popular with babyboomers, two Greek
language stations compete for listeners in Sydney, and a handful of
other stations serve ethnic markets for Chinese, Hindi, Arabic,
Islamic and Lebanese Christian audiences.
A large number of licences held in the 1611-1701 AM band have
remained silent for many years and are unlikely to ever come on air.
The Radio Heritage Foundation has released a detailed list of
Australian stations currently operating in the 1611-1701 AM band
together with analysis of this fascinating and little known
broadcasting landscape.
It's currently available as a downloadable Word document at
www.radioheritage.net and will be updated regularly.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1
** AUSTRALIA. Morning monitoring session starts Oct 17 at 1237 with lowest
frequency 2310, and there is weak country music from VL8-land; a bit stronger
on // 2325, and even better on // 2485 at S9+12; 1239 Strine-accented YL DJ
mentions Abbey Lane before more music (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BURMA [non]. 15480, Oct 17 at 1427 with tone test. Must be Democratic Voice
of Burma about to start; 1430 to surprisingly well modulated music compared to
what I expected from the tone level, cut to another piece of music and starting
announcement in Burmese. This is via ARMENIA, so one can only wonder if
relations between that country and the junta, if any, have been damaged or even
brought about retaliation (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA [and non]. Besides the usual culture clash of CNR1 jamming VOA
Cantonese via Tinang, Oct 17 at 1312 on 7365, there was also a big hum/buzz,
and could not really tell from which source, or something else. CRI site is
Shijuazhuang per Aoki at 37 degrees USward.
Firedrake Oct 17: at 1316, fair on 9000, very poor on 8400; at 1409, poor on
10210 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** COLOMBIA. 5910, Marfil Est?reo, active Oct 17 at 0531 with ID as HKI79-FM,
usual non-soporific music for the nightmiddle, marred by ``running-water``
intermittent ute bursts overriding it, and continuous beeps on hi side; also
bleedover from superstrong Cuban cut-numbers on 5898, Morse code spy letters
sending like Arnie Coro`s DXers Unlimited keying at closing (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. DentroCuban Jamming command still wasting countless kilowatts which
could have been used for something constructive, by pulsing against nothing,
Oct 17 at 0519: on 9545, 9565, 9825. Well, not nothing, but not anything
threatening The Revolution, unlike at other dayparts. 9825 was ruining
something in English, i.e. Deutsche Welle via South Africa at 0500-0530. Will
the foreign ministry of Germany complain to that of Cuba? Of course not! 9565
bothered the wacky wailing preaching of Brasil`s IPDA, so no loss there.
Over at RHC itself, what`s happening? At 0527 Oct 17, 6010 and 6060 in English,
but toss-up frequency 6140 this time in Spanish, along with 6120 and 6000. No
phone ringing any more on these RHC frequencies, but still could hear that on
5898 underneath cut numbers spy transmission at 0532.
RHC 11760 spur check Oct 17 at 1407: typical tones on 11504.0 and 12067.2, but
not much higher or lower (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDIA. AIR Aligarh blobcheck Oct 17: it`s back, after missing yesterday. Now
centred approximately on proper frequency 9470, but spreading 9460-9480 with
extreme distortion. At 1317 tone test matched that on Bengaluru 9425, and
remained // for: 1318 IS, again with split-second audio dropouts at least on
9425, could not really tell on 9470, and so on (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. 4750, Oct 17 at 1259, RRI Makassar, Indonesian talk atop CCI, but
not much else on 60m.
VOI, 9525.9, with good modulation for a change, proving it can be done if
anyone is paying attention, Oct 17 at 1324 YL with news in brief, mentioning
aid to W Sumatera, and another quake Friday. 1325 ID with www site for
streaming, and claiming to be on three frequencies. 1326 Indonesian Wonders
about something flavorful in east Java. Readability had soared to better than
50 percent (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KOREA NORTH. Oct 17 a good NK morning: at 1240 on 2850, Juche soprano at
S9+15, 1241 Korean announcement and more inspirational music. At 1245, 3912 had
roaring jamming with S Korean victim also audible; at 1246, VOK feeder on 3560
audible in music, 1247 announcement not // 2850. At 1251, warbling jamming on
3480. At 1255 on 3280 music and presumed Korean. Just had time to scan 90m and
not find much on the PNG frequencies except maybe 3325, before some neighbor
turned on TVI (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** LAOS [non]. Since Hmong Lao Radio was missing last weekend from its Sat/Sun
13-14 sked via WHRI 11785, I was standing by at 1300 Oct 17 to see what happen.
Very strong open carrier came on for less than a minute 1300-1301, overriding
VOA jingles. Surely this was WHRI, just reminding us they are still entitled to
use that frequency hour, but are not doing so currently. Recheck at 1410 found
them on the air with other Hmong program, World Christian Radio at 1400-1430
Saturdays only.
Since last I checked, HLR webpage http://www.h-lr.com/ has added one more audio
file, dated Oct 8, but it`s already Oct 17. Archive had two files per week in
September on dates which correspond to Thursdays and Sundays, so was one of
them different via Taiwan, and is that still on the 15260 air? In Oct the only
two dates are 1 and 8, both Thursdays, implying that the WHRI broadcasts are
indeed out of produxion (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MADAGASCAR [non]. WRN says they are again broadcasting Radio Mada, the
clandestine service opposing last January/February`s coup, Sat and Sun
1530-1600 on 15640 via Moldova.
At 1530 Saturday Oct 17 here in OK, Western Hemisphere, only detectable a very
weak and fluttery signal on 15640; the frequency also flutters, i.e.
Doppler-affected. O o, I see that DW English via Portugal has been scheduled
during this hour, so did WRN get them to cede, or is there a collision audible
elsewhere? How is reception in the Eastern Hemisphere? Kai Ludwig points out
that DW 15640 is really DRM (Glenn Hauser, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. Winterish conditions are oncoming, with the lowering sun; Oct 16
already at 2100 UT, Spanish atop 1570, historical talk credited in 2103 outro
as from Casa de la Cultura de Ciudad Acu?a; but by next check 2123, the OK
station was dominating with local ad for Tulsa. Both on caradio, nondirexional
antenna. This has happened before, as the powerful XERF gets into skywave
early, but then fades back down, all long before sundown which was 2353 UT
(Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. Driving around western Enid, still hearing a Talking House on 1670
in the daytime. Listening to the spiel, it`s exactly the same T.H. first heard
in early August! One of the realtor`s claims is that if YOU take advantage of
his T.H. deal, your house will sell quickly. Ha, this one still hasn`t sold in
over two months. It`s the one with three stories, and all bedrooms on the top
floor. Altho no exact address announced, as we were assumed to have been parked
right in front of it, I was able to locate it as reported in DXLD 9-057:
http://www.w4uvh.net/dxld9057.txt ---
``Soon found a match, 202 Tanglewood in Whispering Hills, altho nothing
mentioned there about its being a radio station!
http://www.enidhomes.com/homes/684398.htm
Yes, map finds address near intersexion of Wheatridge and Purdue.``
And followed up a month later in http://www.w4uvh.net/dxld9069.txt
How many more months will this be running for follow-ups? Still have not
visited this out-of-the-way radio station, but must do so, as this `part 15`
transmitter has quite some range. While approaching I will be alert for smoke
coming out of my caradio. Meanwhile the neighbors are no doubt out of luck from
listening to any of the five real North American broadcasters on 1670.
Then the afternoon of Oct 16 I finally drive out to the place. To stay on paved
roads, go west on Willow, north on Wheatridge almost to Purdue, and turn right
into the little housing development, where some more are under construxion. You
will not see a Tanglewood street sign on Wheatridge, as it is the parallel
street to the east. This is indeed a big gray 3-story house, but it`s obviously
occupied, with about 5 SUVs around it, a child`s yellow plastic wading pool not
currently in use;
At gable peak there is not only a satellite dish, but a one-foot square antenna
(? Or light?) aimed east, not what you would expect for a 180-meter wavelength.
There were some cables hanging loose around these into the attic, so perhaps
some of that goes with the 1670 kHz unit, but could not be sure. The road sign
bearing 1670 frequency was propped up against the house, not really visible
from the street, and surely on its way to being moved elsewhere, but the
transmitter still running, so at 2035 UT I recorded the spiel at local range.
Despite my apprehension, caradio did not start to smoke, and I could even still
hear adjacent KXTR 1660 Kansas City in the daytime, parked next to the site.
However the inhabitants are subject to huge Part 15 RF at point-blank range.
Maybe I should remind Mr Winklejohn about it (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA [and non]. During a MW bandscan while waiting in a western Enid
store parking lot, which is known to be a good hotspot for MW reception, I was
getting only a very weak SAH on 1210, Oct 16 at 2105 UT. KGYN Guymon, despite
its great distance in No Man`s Land, normally owns the channel in daytime. I
must conclude they were either off the air or doing penance for running
nondirexional at night so much, by running the direxional antenna with null
toward Philadelphia, and almost toward Enid, in the daytime! ``Newsradio 1200,
WOAI`` already audible at 2107, but weak enough that its IBOC on 1210 was not
yet a problem.
Next check at 1740 UT Oct 17, on DX-398 in the yard away from home noise
sources: nothing audible on 1210. Station seems to have two real websites,
http://www.kgynradio.com/ and http://www.kgynradio.net unlike the squatters you
get if you leave out the -radio-, neither of which hints at anything wrong
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PHILIPPINES. 6170.4, continuous [note spelling] het to RNZI, Oct 17 at 1309,
presumably little DZRM and still at 1420; the day before there was no sign of
it. To pull some audio from DZRM one needs to try before RNZI *1259, which I
have not yet managed to do. However, RNZI will soon abandon 6170 for 7440 in
B-09, but then 6170.4 listeners will have VOR Khabarovsk 6170 to cope with
covering 1000-1500 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SAUDI ARABIA. BSKSA barely making it on 13m again today Oct 17 at 1358, poor
on 21460 not // 21640; 21505 // 21640, and the buzz on 21505 was not so bad,
still allowing some Arabic to be audible. At hourtop, 5+1 timesignal heard on
21505, which one minute later on WWV I determined to have been one second
early! See also UNIDENTIFIED OTH radar (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [non]. Configuration of VOA relays amid 7 MHz band Saturday Oct 17 at
1313: 7575 VG with jazz singer in English service. At 1414 on 7550 in English
momentarily, but just a clip before back into Indonesian. This one had the best
signal by far, Tinang at 220 degrees, Fri/Sat/Sun only, and much too close to
VOA on 7545, Tinang due west, in English report about Croatia, // 9760.
So IBB is deliberately running two transmitters 5 kHz apart from same site
during the 14-15 hour. At 1416 a JBA signal on 7575, so site must have switched
at hourtop from Tinang USward, to Udorn westward; eventually decided it was //
7545 but not synchronized, a few words off when speaking, and then with C&W
music. Also something very weak on 7520, apparently Vietnamese via Sri Lanka
scheduled (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. 5920, still no sign of WBOH, at 0533 check Oct 17, Radio
Rossii in the clear with Radio Zhurnal // 5940, nor at next check 1310, while
at 1316, WTJC was running as usual on 9370v with overconfident preacher. Good
riddance at least to the never-on-frequency mess they had been putting out 24/7
on 5920v.
Is there anything on their homepage http://www.fbnradio.com/ about closing down
WBOH? Of course not! That could detract from the fall share-a-thon`s receipts,
news about that just added, so it is possible to update their site. How many
donors will be aware that at the same time, FBN are cutting their SW service in
half? Still claims to be running both WBOH and WTJC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. OTH radar pulses from China, presumed, covering roughly 50 kHz
each: Oct 17 at 1308 on 6460-6510, 6770-6820, 6860-6920; at 1317 on 8020-8070
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 8000.5, sounds like time signal pips, Oct 17 at 1315. Trouble is,
the CW beeps are at the rate of 80 per minute instead of 60, so perhaps from an
alternate universe with 80-second minutes, or everything happens 33 percent
faster (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. OTH radar pulses from Cyprus, presumed, covering roughly 25 kHz:
Oct 17 at 1402 at 17640-17660, neatly bothering both BBC English on 17640, and
Saudi Arabia French on 17660. 17640 site is Ascension, so one must wonder if
the British OTHR operators on Cyprus would have avoided that range if it too
were via Cyprus? Why don`t these radars pick a few ranges which are really
clear of other signals and stick with them?? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING

RNZI Airs New Radio Heritage Documentary
'Surviving Tsunamis'
Radio in the Pacific Ring of Fire
________________________________________
Join us from Monday October 19 2009 when we air our new radio
heritage documentary about surviving tsunamis in the South Pacific on
the next Radio New Zealand International [RNZI] Mailbox program.
You can listen directly via shortwave or audio on demand [for the
following month] with full details of broadcast frequencies and times
in your area and audio download at www.rnzi.com.
The recent tsunamis in Samoa, American Samoa and Tonga brought
forward brave dedication to duty from several radio stations, and the
program includes an interview with the morning DJ at KKHJ-FM in Pago
Pago who was trapped in the studios as the waves smashed into the
ground floor of her building.
However, as the program explains, it's by pure luck that the radio
station studios in Pago Pago and Apia weren't swept out to sea, their
buildings being totally exposed to the Pacific.
Across the Pacific, other radio station studios and facilities are at
sea level and wouldn't stand a chance if the wrong tsunami hit in the
wrong place.
Both Vanuatu and the Solomon Islands also had major earthquakes and
tsunami warnings within hours. Radio everywhere is an extremely
fragile lifeline.
The program also looks at the problem of most local Pacific radio
stations broadcasting in local languages. Yet local economies
increasingly depend on tourists. When emergency strikes, tourists are
told to listen to the local radio for instructions.
In Samoa, the only two English speaking stations were no longer
broadcasting live, and hundreds of tourists had no idea what was
happening, as the only live broadcast they could hear was completely
in Samoan.
Just how fragile the broadcasting infrastructure is and how
vulnerable local residents and tourists alike can be in an
earthquake, tsunami or cyclone in the Pacific Ring of Fire is
discussed.
Join David Ricquish of the Radio Heritage Foundation as we celebrate
the bravery of Pacific broadcasters and warn of the dangers facing
the islands in future natural disasters.
A full list of AM radio stations broadcasting in the Pacific is
available free in the Pacific Asian Log AM Radio Guide at
www.radioheritage.net, where you'll also learn more about
broadcasting in these beautiful but vulnerable islands in features
from our Island Radio Pacific Style series.
RNZI's Mailbox program from Monday October 19 2009, via shortwave and
audio on demand with full times and schedules online at www.rnzi.com.

** BRAZIL. 4915 the best and almost only signal audible below 5 MHz on 60m, Oct
17 at 2250 with singing vs CODAR, 2252 to preacher, building up by 2258 to a
frenzy about Jesus, 2259 piano hymn, but cut off the air at 2300 sharp, as if
on a timer. A second carrier had been present making a fast SAH and now that
much weaker one was uncovered. 2300 is an odd time to sign-off, unless the two
Brazilians here have reached some kind of agreement about avoiding mutual
interference all the time? Radio Daqui and Rdif. de Macap?. Both have been
reported at various times with religious [note spelling] programming, so I have
no idea which I had. Then another Brazilian signal was trying to poke thru on
4985 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CANADA [and non]. 6100, RCI in English at 0030 UT Oct 18 in Masala Canada
show with Wojtek Gwiazda interviewing a Moslem comedian who has had, what else,
immigration problems at the border. 0045 to next interview, author of a book
about the dangers of Googlization. But annoying thruout was co-channel talk
underneath, rumbling tnx to RCI being slightly off frequency, but how could
something else in uncertain language be QRMing Radio Canada Internal here in
NAm?
Clue at 0045 was mention of Washington and a quick jingle. Uplooked later, it
has to be VOA Urdu a.k.a. Radio Aap ki Dunya, 0000-0100 at 340 degrees from Sri
Lanka, and thus also USward, more or less grayline. Would VOA please limit this
signal from going beyond Pakistan, such as by using higher takeoff angle from
Iranawila, and/or reducing power, if it must be co-channel to Canada (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. After hearing all the 11670 spurs --- see VENEZULA [non] ---, Oct 17
at 2225 I found RHC audible on 17660 with speech in Spanish, and then found //
synchronized 11800 and // an echo apart from other transmitter site on 5965,
6000, 11770, 13760, 13790. Nothing on 9640 which is on the air certain days at
this time for Mesa Redonda or other special programming. The speech turned out
to be just a clip, as soon back to studio announcer.
17660 does not appear at all on the supposedly current transmission schedule at
http://www.radiohc.cu/espanol/c_frecuencia/frecuencias.htm which we have
already picked apart for numerous other errors. 17660 began with the April
schedule shakeup for the 2030-2130 English broadcast, which now continues to be
sporadic even on its other nominal frequency 11760; EiBi and Aoki show 17660
also at 2130 Creole, 2200 French, 2230-2300 Creole, all to Caribbean. Anyhow,
17660 is obviously still in use, if only for Spanish. Will the RHC webmaster
ever find out? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PRIDNESTROVYE. 9665 with strong open carrier, Oct 17 at 2212, off at
2213:45. Surely Grigoriopol, but unneeded until 2300 for VOR relay, as Radio
PMR 2215-2300 transmission is never on Saturday. Perhaps a warmup/checkout, or
operator forgot he didn`t really need to turn it on just yet (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 17314, came upon strong SSB signal listing several frequencies
including this one, Oct 17 at 2228, weather for Pacific Ocean to follow, by
male robotic voice. Some of the forecasts seemed a bit dated, from Oct 16. Mr.
Robot says the words, mostly numbers, but he has no concept of pauses,
intonation, just patching them together, sounding inhuman. Missed ID, but
uplooked later, this frequency belongs to USCG stations. If the list in DXLD
7-101 is still correct, at 2230 it`s NMC San Francisco:
17314.0 USB USCG wx from NMN Portsmouth (1730)
17314.0 USB USCG wx from NMC San Francisco (1630 2230)
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [non]. 9935, Oct 17 at 2214 predicating in Spanish about fornication
among the Canaanites; altho not // (or not synchronized) WYFR 15130, surely
it`s YFR as relayed by GUIANA FRENCH, reported by DX Mix News Sept 25 --- DXLD
9-073 --- as 2200-0100, 250 kW, 215 degrees to SAm, then in English. But not
listed currently in Aoki, EiBi or HFCC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. Tuning around MW for traces of TA carriers (there were a few), Oct 18
at 2310 UT I found that WWLS OK had turned off its IBOC noise surrounding 640
and was also quite nullable on the DX-398, so I could hear instead a strong,
steady signal from elsewhere: disgusting anti-choice discussion mentioning what
was going on in Southern California. KFI? Surely not this early. Continued
without breaks until wrap-up at 2327, someone on phone from Kansas with
Operation Rescue, then about Nebraska and Wichita, turned out to be Troy
Newman, but show host sounded like Dick Fox, on The Complete Chapter? Not at
all sure of either name as mumbled quickly. But nice clear full ID at 2329 as
``Covering Memphis, WCRV, Collierville-Memphis.`` LSS is 2330 UT in October, so
was still running 50 kW non-direxional daytime; no wonder it overcame WWLS.
Unfortunately I did not keep listening to hear if and when they really dropped
to 480 watts night, direxional away from LA
and OK.
Looking further thru FCC info via AM Query, for facility number 6486, I see
that WCRV transmitter site is axually barely in Mississippi. Tiger map shows it
right on the state line, but coordinate is:
34? 59' 35.00" N Latitude Power: 50.0 kilowatts (kW) Daytime
i.e. 25 seconds south of the 35th parallel which forms the southern boundary of
Tennessee from end to end (tho there is a jog in the middle at Pickwick Lake,
per Rand McNally atlas, presumably due to a surveying error long ago) (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** VENEZUELA [non]. I have reported numerous times the past week on how the
Radio Habana Cuba transmitter on 11760 puts out a couple dozen spurs at
multiples of plus and minus 51.2 kHz. Incredibly, I have seen no reports of
this from anyone else. 11760 is currently scheduled 22 hours a day, 00-22 UT,
but what of the rest?
Oct 17 at 2200 as I was tuning up the 11 MHz band, heard the RNVCI IS on about
11515 kHz, and then standard sign-on, quickly matched to the fundamental
frequency 11670. So that is very obviously the same transmitter used the rest
of the time on 11760. This time the spurs were detectable as high as 12233.2
and as low as 11209.2. No, I did not measure each and every one of them, but
later computed them using multiples of 51.2 kHz displacement. All could be
heard except as noted:
11618.8 with most audio
11567.6
11516.4
11465.2
11414.0
11362.8
11311.6
11260.4
11209.2
11721.2
11772.4, big het on another RHC transmitter, 11770.0
11823.6
11874.8
11926.0
11977.2
12028.4
12079.6
12130.8 ? this one not audible for some reason
12182.0
12233.2 - tuning reached the top at 2208
Next to check all the RHC, RNV and CRI relay frequencies at 23-24 to find yet
another spurset, unless they give it a one-hour daily rest (Glenn Hauser, OK,
