IRRS had a technical problem!
Today the IRRS had a technical problem with there digital audio link to
the station and one other problem in the studio in Milano.
One of the RAID disks failed in Milano, the system did not recover on time,
so Radio Joysticks audio file was skipped and a backup was played instead.
Two problems at the same time!
A repeat of Radio Joystick's programme will take place next Saturday
on November the 14th from 0900 to 1000 utc on 9510 khz.

Subject: [HCDX] AUSTRALIA: ABC announces ambitious expansion
Message-ID: <003d01ca5fcd$cb87ced0$98a1c...@windowsv03oj4t>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"
The Australian Broadcasting Corp. has announced ambitious international
expansion plans, which initially focus on launching TV and radio services in
China and India, followed by a staged rollout to the Middle East, Latin America
and Europe and North America, managing director Mark Scott said Wednesday
night.
The ABC currently operates the Australia Television network and Radio
Australia, with AUS$34 million ($30.6 million) per year in government funding.
Australia Television broadcasts in 44 countries in Asia Pacific, reaching over
22 million homes, while Radio Australia has a network of 15 FM stations in
almost every Pacific capital, and Cambodia and Laos, runs a digital radio
service in Singapore, and broadcasts on shortwave in eight Asian languages.
Under the plan, Scott is proposing the integration of Australia Television and
Radio Australia into one brand that would compete with CNNI and BBC World,
lobbying the federal government to step up its funding of the operation. He
said that "merely doubling the services' existing budget adds up to less than
half of the budget of Baz Luhmann's 'Australia.'"
"By boosting the funds available for content, the ABC would be able to become
the dominant regional provider of news, information and English-language
learning material. We predict that with expanded distribution, this new
integrated service could extend its television reach into Asia, the Pacific and
the all-important Indian market by nearly 200 per cent by 2013," Scott said.
Citing the increased need for "soft diplomacy" to protect and expand
Australia's role as an "independent credible voice in the region," Scott said
"we may be a significant, strategic player in the G20, but our investment in
broadcasting is meager in comparison to our colleagues."
He noted that in the past 12 months the German public broadcaster Deutsche
Welle launched its second television channel DWTV Asia Plus, and the Japanese
and French also launched new services into the Asia Pacific region.
The UK spends $781 million on the BBC World Service and BBC World News; France
over $540 million on international television and radio services, Germany ranks
next with $480 million; China currently commits $342 million, and Japan spends
$203 million, according to Scott.
"We have an important role to play and we have to use all the tools at our
disposal to continue to do so.using the media to put our nation's culture,
values and policies on show," Scott said.
Under Scott's plan the ABC's newsgathering capability would be expanded with
five additional news bureaus, giving the ABC access to a total of 14 bureaus in
Asia, the Pacific and India -- more than either CNN or the BBC -- aiming to
"firmly establish the ABC as the pre-eminent source of news and current affairs
about and for the region."
The plan would then include a rollout of the service into aspirational
households and decision-makers in 53 countries in Africa and 22 in the Middle
East, with additional news bureaus and Arabic-language audio content for radio
and online; a rollout into Latin America which would require carriage on a new
satellite, but open the doors to another 21 countries; and an integrated ABC
service that would seek to leverage broadband delivery systems in Europe and
North America, giving Australia a truly global platform to promote itself.
Initially the ABC is intent on secure the all-important "landing rights" for
the service in China, he said. (from Hollywood Reporter)

** ALBANIA [and non]. R. Tirana on 7465, Nov 7 at 1944 with IS, good S9+15
signal and opening English // 11635 which was S9+12 but with deeper fading. No
interference on either.
R. Tirana collision with Habana on 6110, Nov 8 at 0056: R. Tirana the best yet,
definitely atop, so maybe even better in ENAm, especially if RHC is
non-direxional on 6110 like it was on ex-5965, still listed by Aoki with
nothing from Habana on 6110 despite our numerous reports of it the past week.
Confirmed Habana 6110 under Tirana by // 9600, and at 0101 after all the other
RHCs oncame, 6060, 6120, 6140. Let this not encourage R. Tirana to stick on
6110 instead of getting out of this mess (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ARGENTINA. 11711, presumed from here, weak het against VOK, Nov 7 at 1341,
we can hear again thanks to the continued absence of the RHC spurblob from
11760 which landed around 11708-11709 for almost a full solar rotation, from at
least October 10 until November 4 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. RNA, 6185, cut on the air abruptly at *0636 Nov 7 and immediately
modulating, blasting away XEPPM, M?xico`s soft romantic music with guitar
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BULGARIA. 6200 with undermodulated east European folk music, Nov 7 at 2038,
first thought Prague, as they use channel at times, but really R. Bulgaria,
always ending in -00 and clinched by // stronger 7400. This hour is in German
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHILE. CVC`s 9745 transmitter is still totally out of whack, 24 hours after
first noted; is anyone paying attention in Calera de Tango, Miami, or West
Bromwich? UT Nov 8 at 0056, extremely overmodulated and distorted on 9745, and
splattering downward but not upward; worst areas are 9695 and above, but
detectable down to 9650, QRMing numerous other stations. Are those paying any
attention either? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Amid the N Korean signals on 105, 90 and 85 meters, on 3280, Nov 7 at
1329, a child was singing in Chinese, i.e. V. of Pujiang, Shanghai, listed as
only 15 kW (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake Nov 7 at 1336: 8400 better than 9000 better than 10210
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. 9120-9145, OTH radar pulses, Nov 7 at 1336, presumed from here altho
narrower-band than usual, more like Cyprus but less likely propagationally at
this hour (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [and non]. RHC`s usage of 6010 at 05-07 in English continues to be
sporadic; I am sure they have better reasons than deferring some of the time to
XEOI, but Nov 7 at 0627 XEOI was in the clear, and again could not tell if LV
de tu Conciencia, Colombia was there too.
RHC was on 6060 and 6140 in English; 6120 and 6150 in Spanish.
Confirming the active RHC Spanish frequencies during the 19-20 UT hour, Nov 7
at 1942: 13770, 11800, 11760, 11730, 11690, 6110. I believe it`s the same set
between 15 and 20. Also RNV relay on 15290, VG at 1923.
I also need to catch the frequencies RHC claims to be using from 2100, for the
Revista Iberoamericana. Nov 7 at 2103 I missed the first part of the
announcement on spurless 11760, presumably concerning 13 MHz, just 11760,
11800, 9660, 6110. But they were really heard on additional 11730 and 11770.
One of these ought to be breaking away for other language services, but often
they are all // in Spanish. See also ALBANIA; ARGENTINA; USA WRMI (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CYPRUS. 15055-15080, OTH radar, Nov 7 at 1526, presumed from here, and
bothering the distorted R. Cairo signal on 15080, tsk2 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** EGYPT. 6270, R. Cairo in French already audible with fair signal as early as
2036 Nov 7, not much weaker than, but less modulated than Arabic on 6290 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) see also CYPRUS
** INDIA. AIR Aligarh blob Nov 7 at 1334 again centered about 9460, covering
9455-9470 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) see also USA: WTWW
** INDONESIA. VOI missing for the seventh day in a row from 9525v/9526v, Nov 7
at 1335 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KOREA NORTH. Lower bands mostly dominated by signals from here upon quick
scan Nov 7 at 1320: 2850, 3250, 3320, 3480(jamming), 3560 all audible (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. QRM, or not, to XEOI 6010 and XEPPM 6185: see CUBA; BRAZIL
** OKLAHOMA [and non]. Belay my previous remark that KEOR 1120 seemed back on
to stay; tho apparently bought or LMA`d by KJMU-1340 and carrying its IDs, next
check of 1120 Nov 7 at 1508 found KMOX instead with local ads, ID in passing,
just after getting my H1N1 shot. No waiting at the clinic, in fact more
red-uniformed nursing students than customers, as lots of Okies are scared to
get vaccinated. There was a bit of a SAH circa 5 Hz, so possibly the KEOR
carrier was on at some level, hard to tell on the caradio. By 1512 KMOX had
faded down or out and still no KEOR (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** RUSSIA [non]. 9570 caught my ear with classical music, fair Nov 7 at 1541,
but 1545 into Russian talk about bozh, so must be a gospel huxter: yes, R.
Blagovest via R. Veritas Asia, PHILIPPINES, 1500-1557, 250 kW at 331 degrees
form Palauig-Zambales site, per Aoki (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SEYCHELLES [non]. 9550 at 1949 Nov 7, mix of Arabic talk and music, 2000
apparently news by YL. Is FEBA via RWANDA, 250 kW, 30 degrees at 1900-2030. In
that case, probably not real news, maybe just Good News (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** TUNISIA. 12005, enjoyable Arab music, Nov 7 at 1934 but gone by 1950,
contrary to B09 RTT schedule supposedly on this frequency 1700-2110. One must
monitor each Sfax frequency to determine its real span (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. WBCQ has now abandoned 7415 for most of the time on
Saturdays. Nov 7 at 2039 heard instead weak talk in English, no doubt CRI, also
with fluttery news in English at 2107.
Aoki shows the default occupants of 7415 as a string of CRI broadcasts via East
Turkistan sites: 19-20 Czech, 20-22 English, 23-24 English, breaking at 22-23
to jam BBC Chinese via Thailand. Other days of the week, of course, when WBCQ
is on, these can QRM it even in NAm. Not to mention, R. Farda via Lampertheim
at 0030-0230.
As far as FCC is concerned, WBCQ 7415 is authorized to run 24 hours a day. It`s
a pity they do not have enough business to reach anything near that. See the
new FCC B-09 schedule as of Nov 3 at
http://www.fcc.gov/ib/sand/neg/hf_web/B09FCC01.TXT
Per Aoki, there are additional occupants between 11 and 19, when WBCQ has
rarely been on 7415 air (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. The new FCC B-09 schedule has three entries for `WBWW`, despite
having granted calls WTWW instead already in August to George McClintock`s new
station under construxion in Lebanon TN. All are 100 kW, 40 degrees: 5755 at
00-07, 9480 at 12-19 and 22-24. CIRAF targets are 4,9,18,27,28,37-39,46,47
which means E Canada, all of Europe, N Africa, Mideast. Nothing being heard
yet. The AIR Aligarh wandering spurblob often obstructs 9480 after *1317; watch
out!
On-air testing was anticipated to start this month, but not much detail at the
website http://www.wtww.us --- three photos were added in October for a total
of nine via http://wtww.us/pages/images.php
Skimming thru the FCC B-09 schedule I don`t see any surprises:
http://www.fcc.gov/ib/sand/neg/hf_web/B09FCC01.TXT
It still lists imaginary stations KTMI, WBOH and WMLK. Neither this nor A-09
show 3145 for WWRB despite having been using it. And still no listings for the
Milton FL CP (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. 9955, WRMI, VG at 0620 Nov 7 during La Rosa de Tokio,
better than neighbor WYFR on 9985. WRMI must have been on the NW antenna, not
the case every night. Jamming not audible, but maybe still under.
DentroCuban Jamming Command was certainly running at 1340 against R. Praga
Spanish relay; the S/N ratio had improved somewhat as RP was upwrapping at 1354.
WRMI Saturday schedule now includes at 19-20 Happy Station repeat, 2000-2030
WORLD OF RADIO, but Nov 7 at 2000 just jamming to be heard. Maybe on the SSE
antenna, or not really on the air, just webcasting? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WTJC 9370v is still/again putting out spurs consisting mostly of
noise: Nov 7 at 0625 during music, broad dirty spurs centered approximately
9345 and 9395. Same situation at next check 1335 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [non]. VOA`s Music Time in Africa, Saturday Nov 7 at 2005, best on
13710 via Botswana, almost synched with good Bonaire signal on 11975, this time
featuring Sierra Leone. By 2037 I could also hear it on // 6080 S?o Tom?, which
also might be good enough in ENAm and Europe. Same applies to Sundays at 20-21.
And for weekday program during this hour, African Beat (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 11532.0, open carrier, some fading, het vs much weaker carrier on
11530, Nov 7 at 0617, the latter presumably WYFR rather than V. of Mesopotamia.
Not much else making it on 25 m except NZ on 11725. I have heard the 11532
carrier a few times before, most recently Feb 16, 2009 at 0645 as in DXLD
9-015; also in 9-008, 8-132, etc. (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 11995, Nov 7 at 1935 with ME music, then undermodulated talk
unseems Arabic but similar. I was looking for Kuwait English on 11990, but only
a very weak carrier there compared to this good signal --- but nothing
scheduled on 11995 after 1900 when France supposedly concludes in French (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 15570 with open carrier off and on, Nov 7 at 1524. Nothing at all
scheduled here for many hours, so a frequency in need of an occupant, perhaps
about to get one (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

WRN says to use this URL to access the old WORLD OF RADIO page:
http://193.42.152.193/listeners/stations/station.php?StationID=24
but the link from there to the podcast page no longer works
The New WOR page is: http://www.wrn.org/wrn-listeners/world-of-radio/
And from there you can click on RSS or add to playlist but you have to register
first. I hope this helps, as I myself do not use podcasts (Glenn Hauser, WORLD
OF RADIO)
