1000 kW DRM compatible MW Txer formally inaugrated at Bangladesh
Prime Minister of Bangladesh Sheikh Hasina formally inaugurated newly
commissioned 1000 kilowatt medium wave transmitter of Bangladesh
Betar set up at a cost of more than 35 crore taka at Dhamrai today.
Information Minister Abul Kalam Azad, local law makers and a large
number of local people, among others, were present on the occasion.
This new solid-state 1000 kW medium wave (MW) transmitter replaces the 36
year old valve type 1000 kW MW transmitter. The new transmitter is
compatible for DRM (Digital Radio Mondiale) broadcasts in future. The new
transmitter of super power transmitting station at Dhamrai,
Dhaka is the heart of the Bangladesh Betar & is used to broadcast radio
programme covering 95% area of the Country. It broadcasts centrally produced
radio programmes and plays an important role during natural disaster.
Bangladesh Betar Dhaka Station broadcasted the inaugural function live while
Chittagong, Rajshahi, Khulna, Rangpur and Sylhet regional stations of
Bangladesh Betar relayed the proceedings simultaneously. The super
power transmitter was originally commissioned on an area of 63 acres of land
at Dhamrai with the assistance of the then Soviet Union government at
the interest and direction of father of the nation Bangabandhu Sheikh
Mujibur Rahman in 1972. The broadcasting formally began on 16th may in 1976.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1
** BULGARIA. 15700, R. Bulgaria, usual strong signal at S9+18, Dec 9 at 1430,
talking Bulgarian over accordion combo, about the EU, parliament, presidency;
too bad the modulation is rather distorted (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake Dec 9 at 1427: just barely audible on 8400; nothing audible
on 9000, 10210 or 11300. E Asian conditions have been quite poor lately (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. RHC missing from 11760, Dec 9 at 1454, but on as usual via 11730 and
always-distorted 11800 --- who would ever choose to listen to that frequency
voluntarily? 1505, after the transmitter and frequency swapping for mid-day
service, active on all 11690, 11730, 11760 and 11800 plus Venezuela relay on
11680 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDIA. 9425, AIR National Channel via Bengaluru, Dec 9 at 1435 during
almost-daily English segment, playing bits of ``Eleanor Rigby`` and lecture
about spirituality. Maybe involving the Beatles` fascination with India? But
hard to tell due to poor reception and accent.
Meanwhile, for those with more fragmented attention spans, hyper VBS
programming on 9870 from same site with usual much stronger signal, Dec 9 at
1444 in Hindi but spelling out URL in English, http://www.vividhbharati.co.cp
and also had just given a g-mail address; Hindi pop song with SFX. That URL
does not work, but I was wondering since it certainly did not end in .in;
perhaps some other similar-sounding suffix. But then no AIR sites were working
when I tried (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KOREA NORTH [non]. 5985, Sea Breeze, in English Wednesday Dec 9, YL telling
story of an abductee in the 1970s. Via JSR, JAPAN. As always, no QRM audible
here, fair signal (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO [and non]. 6185, XEPPM with piano concerto atop rumble from Vatican
at 0619 Dec 9, the latter soon vanishing leaving Radio Educaci?n in the clear
for the time being (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 1210, KGYN Guymon signal is still seldom at its `normal` good
daytime groundwave level. Bandscan Dec 8 at a hotspot in western Enid on
caradio at 1854 UT did find it audible but poorly with country music.
1120, KEOR, Catoosa-Tulsa-Sperry, Dec 8 at 1855 UT with ID only for the station
it is relaying, ``KJMU, Hot 1340 The Groove`` and PSA for The 100 Black Men of
Tulsa, an interventionist group. Googling that, I quickly see that there are
100 Black Men chapters all over the US and some abroad:
http://www.100blackmen.org/ This early, no skywave QRM from KMOX audible.
1040, on my caradio at 1857 UT Dec 8 I am getting a clear weak signal from
local KGWA-960, instead of IA or TX, with local ads matching during national
talkshow. Not sure if a genuine spur. I was not parked in the immediate
vicinity of the transmitter site. Nor on the 10-kHz step tuner only, can I be
sure it was exactly on 1040, but sounded so (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** TUNISIA. 7275, RTT, Dec 9 at 0629 was off the air tho it had been on a few
minutes earlier; // 7335 remained on in Arabic, having started at least an hour
earlier than scheduled (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WJHR, Milton FL, probably just got program test authority allowing it
to transmit on Dec 8. But Dec 9 nothing audible on 15550-incompatible USB at
1430 or 1526. However, it`s a bit too close for reliable reception on 19m with
no help from sporadic E (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9955, WRMI, still weak and not enough to overcome lite DentroCuban
jamming pulses, Dec 9 at 1505 during R. Prague relay as they played Moldau
theme. Apparently WRMI is still stuck on the SSE antenna only, the NW one
unusable (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1200, on caradio Dec 8 at 1854, WOAI was weakly audible,
presumably skywave, but with a fast SAH estimated at about 15 Hz. What could
that be? WOAI has to be on exactly 1200.000 for IBOC, and so listed in
mwoffsetts, but nothing in USA there at plus or minus 15 Hz. My first guess
would have been KFNW in ND, but that`s shown as only 2 Hz low. Other
possibilities are Nashville, Chicago, for which no offsets are known, or even
the little B?livar MO station. Or maybe an as yet undiscovered Talking House
transmitter nearby (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 14000, FRG-7 puts an internal birdie/carrier on even MHz, but
along with it Dec 9 at 1456 I was hearing other stuff; bit of talk, tone,
``testing 1-2-3-4``, and V on CW; the latter could be from a real ham at 14001
or so. 1501 the talk on 14000 was more audible, in English and soon matched
S9+22 signal from 13740, CRI via Habana. May have just been cross-modulation in
receiver (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###
