Indonesia, 9680, RRI Jakarta, 1130-1145, From tune in, noted music
and Indonesian comments from a male. Signal was fair and fading.
(Chuck Bolland, November 10, 2009)
Indonesia, 9525.92, Voice of Indonesia, 1139-1200, Noted a female in
Japanese(?) language comments. Japanese is schedule for this time, but
I cannot really hear the female well enough to identify the language.
Signal was poor. (Chuck Bolland, November 10, 2009)
Indonesia, 4749.93, RRI Makassar, 1145-1200, With a very poor signal as
well as
morning sunrise noise, noted singing from a male until 1146. At that time a
female
comments in Indonesian just briefly then back to more music. (Chuck
Bolland,
November 10, 2009)
India, 5010, AIR, Thiruvananthap,Tentative, 1148-1200, Noted singing
briefly for a minuted then a female comments. Couldn't ID the language, but
sounded like Hindu. This
was followed with more music that was definitely sounding like it was from
India.
Signal had almost disappeared at this point being worst than threshold. At
1153
noted a brief improvement of the signal then back to the previous condition.

Good news! The Magna database which is a combination of the
AOKI and EIBI database files has been updated with the most
recent schedules for B09. You can download a copy by going
to http://www.orchidcitysoftware.com/IMAGE59.HTML
Did I mention that this application not only lists records in frequency
and time order, but also in country order, Transmitter order, and Language
Order for sorting and it's free.
Take a look.

Poland, 11675, Polskie Radio, 1305-1330, Noted a program of features and
comments in English presented by female mainly. One feature spotlighted the
falling of the Berlin Wall. Other features followed while the signal
remained
at a good level. (Chuck Bolland, November 10, 2009)
Korea, DPR, 11710, Voice of Korea, 1315-1330, Mainly the program consisted
of news and views about North Korea and their Leader. Signal was at a good
level, but the longpath characteristics were prominent. (Chuck Bolland,
November 10, 2009)
North Marian Islands, 7575, Voice of America, 1300-1400, A surprisingly
good signal
here of the VOA in English. Noted a good summary of World News.
Unfortunately as
far as I can tell, this schedule of English ends at 1400 on this freq.

Chuck that is wrong. Poland doesn't broadcast on shortwave facilities
anymore.
VTC provider transmission from rented ORS site Moosbrunn, Niederoesterreich,
Austria at
http://www.flashearth.com/?lat=48.006285&lon=16.460703&z=17.1&r=0&src=yh
11675 1300-1400 to zone 27; 100kW at 300deg azimuth
which lobe path is a edge for the audience in direction of London, New
Brunswik, Washington and Mexico City.

** BRAZIL [and non]. RNA sign-on observations Nov 10. Or I should say cut-on,
since programming is already in progress when they turn on the SW transmitters.
6185 XEPPM blessedly clear at 0625, so I kept listening apprehensively for the
blastaway. RNA carrier and modulation on at *0638, Brazilian song. Then checked
11780 and found open carrier but no modulation until that cut on at 0640:20
becoming // 6185 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake Nov 10 at 1438: 8400 and 9000 poor, 10210 very poor (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA [and non]. 9450, good signal in Russian from CRI, Nov 10 at 1435, atop
something co-channel. O, this hour at 37 degrees from SZG site is also USward,
and it conveniently blox Sound of Hope, 100 kW, 335 degrees from Yunlin,
Taiwan, per Aoki. Or is there formal jamming as well underneath there? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. There`s at least one anomaly every day from RHC, an unfailing source
of DX news: Nov 10 at 0625, 6140 was off the air, so no way to know whether it
would have been in English or Spanish. English was on 6060 and 6010, Spanish on
6120 and 6150.
And the 11760 transmitter is now in its seventh day of not producing two dozen
spurs, Nov 10 at 0639 and 1526 chex (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** EGYPT. 15710, R. Cairo Indonesian service back to self-inflicted wound but
still not mortal: Nov 10 at 1345, distorted modulation cutting in only at peaks
as YL tried to talk to listeners (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GERMANY [non]. 15205, at 0642 Nov 10, African language mentioning Niger and
Nigeria. I bet it`s Hausa. Yes, DW Rwanda scheduled during this semihour,
unusual opening from Africa, while RA was even better on 15240 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDIA. AIR 9470 Aligarh distortion blob centered on 9465 Nov 10 at 1320
introducing Vande Mataram, // clear Bengaluru 9425. RA 9475 is on the edge of
the noise this time and one needs to offtune to evade it. Same situation at
1436 check (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA [and non]. 9525.9, VOI, Nov 10 at 1319 mentioning Exotic Indonesia
so it`s another Tuesday excursion to Banjarmasin. Others find the modulation
adequate but I do not, especially with QRM from stronger 9530 stations, CNR1
ChiCom jamming and/or VOA Chinese via Philippines. That`s off at 1400, and at
1433 VOI Malay hour had better modulation and no QRM, so no-strain copy if only
one understood Malay; there were intermittent long tones in the background,
suspected to be on the audio feed from Jakarta rather than QRM. RRI 9680 was
also in before 1400 with better modulation than 9525.9 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** JAPAN [non]. 17735, fair with deep fades, Nov 10 at 1511 music, into
Japanese announcement, so suspect NHKWNRJ, but surely not direct at this hour.
Yes, it is // Yamata 9535 which is about two words ahead. 17735 is via Issoudun
[note spelling], FRANCE 15-17, 500 kW, 152 degrees (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** KOREA NORTH. 2850, P`yongyang, fair S9+10 with choral music, Nov 10 at 1335.
Also NK signals on 3320, 3480 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MOROCCO. Happened upon RTVM, Nov 10 at 1459 on 15341, so observed the QSY.
15341 off at 1500 sharp, 15345 on a semiminute later. Arabic programming in
progress had been interrupted; no announcement, I am sure, such as ``Please
retune your radios 4 kHz higher in the next half-minute`` but as one who is
inclued, I did so anyway (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NEW ZEALAND. RNZI`s appearance on AM 7440 in addition to AM 6170 Nov 9 in
the 13-15+ UT period must have been only a test, as no sign of 7440 on Nov 10
at 1325, but 6170 was atop VOR and readable in report about Tonga ferry
sinking: crew finally realized something was amiss when water was up to car
handle level in the cargo deck! Het from 6170.4 DZRM also audible. By 1428
still no 7440, and 6170 was losing ground to VOR at almost equal level now, het
gone. What next? Still nothing about this on the RNZI website (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WTJC 9370v spur report Nov 10 at 0635: noisy blob covering 9275-9330,
but no match on the hi side (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 2750.0, sweep tones upward followed by a short low tone and a
short high tone, repeating exactly same pattern 16 times a minute, good signal,
Nov 10 at 0633, Halloweeny. Ideas? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 11494, SSB contact with engine whine at 1518 Nov 10, said
``turning back to Elizabeth City``, i.e. a flight out of northeastern North
Carolina. May have been more like 11493.5 but no more transmissions in next few
minutes to downpin it. I hope they arrived safely (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. As I was tuned to Israel 11590, Nov 10 at 1522, noticed another
carrier sweeping slowly downward across it with continuously varying het, but
the carrier is wobbly. Could be an ionosonde, tho these usually run faster. It
had reached 11570 two minutes later, and then was gone. Could also be some
ailing broadcast transmitter/spur upwarming (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST) ###

Today, I received a QSL letter from a Canadian COast Guard station, and he
returned the mist Canadian stamps I included for return postage with a note
that said "These stamps are only good if used in the USA".
What's that all about? These were ordered only a couple weeks ago from DX
Stamp Service, so I would presume they're still "good".

Perhaps they could not imagine an American having access to Canadian stamps,
and did not look closely at them? And/or they have received too many reports
from Americans with American stamps. 73, Glenn Hauser

Why Radio Heritage Foundation needs your donations
__________________________________________________
..........Every year we save more collections of Pacific wide radio
memorabilia from the trash can or the fireplace, find more forgotten
hours of audio, search out and rescue old magazines, books and
memorabilia that hold treasures of their time, save oral histories
and stories from radio pioneers, research historic features and
articles and bring you a taste of what's in our collections for free
at our global website www.radioheritage.net........
...........We're a registered non-profit organization and our total
income in 2008-2009 was just US$6300. This covers only a small
proportion of our operational costs [such as office overheads, power,
broadband, consumables, travel etc] and we can't afford to pay wages
so our full time volunteers have mortgaged their own home to
underwrite operational costs and their living expenses for 5
years.........
........... That's why your financial support, partnerships and
volunteer time is so important to us, because what you see at
www.radioheritage.net is only the tip of an iceberg of Pacific wide
radio
heritage you're entitled to share. We're regulated by the Charities
Commission in New Zealand with whom we file annual and financial
reports although we operate globally.

I&B proposes 26% FDI, sourced news for Phase 3 of FM radio
Information and Broadcasting Minister Ambika Soni on Monday said a note was
being finalised for the Cabinet to recommend an increase in foreign direct
investment (FDI) limit from the current 20 per cent to 26 per cent for FM
radio. She also proposed allowing Akashvani-sourced news on private FM radio.
Addressing the World Economic Forum's India Economic Summit, Soni said the
Ministry was in an advanced stage of considering a hike in the FDI cap to 26
per cent from the current 20 per cent, as recommended by the Telecom Regulatory
Authority of India.
The Ministry?s draft note has been sent to other Ministries including Law and
Finance, and will be presented to the cabinet after due consultation. She
indicated that the third phase of FM Radio licensing will commence early next
year.
Addressing a session 'The Future of Indian Media and Entertainment', Soni again
stressed the need for greater self-regulation by the media to uphold
journalistic ethics since the Government had no intention of state-imposed
regulation.
Private FM channels, supported by TRAI and the Federation of Indian Chambers of
Commerce and Industry (FICCI), have for long been demanding that they should be
allowed to broadcast news on their channels. At present, this is permitted only
on the channels run by All India Radio.
