KOREA D.P.R.   11865  Supposedly Voice of Korea in Japanese, S=4 tiny
carrier at 0842 UT, scheduled 0700-1250 UT, next door KNLS Alaska in
Mandarin Chinese on 11870 kHz on similar poor signal level.
(wb, wwdxc BC-DX TopNews April 14)

MALAYSIA   15295  Surprisingly fair level signal from RTM K-L Kajang,
English news read by Cambridge like high-British accent English newsreader.
Still in progress at 0904 UT Apr 14. As beam headed of 133 degrees towards
Pacific, I guess RTM signal signal came longpath across Pacific, Easter Isl,
Colombia, Bonaire and Azores to my post.
(wb, wwdxc BC-DX TopNews April 14)

RUSSIA/TAJIKISTAN   15195  Supposedly an additional Radio Tatarstan Kazan
transmission in Russian noted at 0800-0900 UT, April 14. From Tatar Radio
via Russian Samara tx center. Talk between female journalist and male
musican from Kazan. Strenght jumped up to S=9+20dB level. Time pips at exact
0900 UT, tx switch off at 09.00:45 UT.

Re my wrong WBCQ logging of 17494.94 kHz.

Noted once again an English newsreader on 17494.94 kHz at 0915 UT this
morning, so seemingly rather Voice of Russia via Dushanbe-TJK scheduled
0700-1000 UT to SoEaAS/PAC, AUS/NZL, though tiny signal in Europe. This tx
observed also at unscheduled time slot 14-15 UT.
(wb, wwdxc BC-DX TopNews April 14)

UNID   9350.00  Some engineer checked a tx on air in 31 mb at 0800-0815 UT,
maybe some of the VT-group beast from England. S=8-9, no content, just
carrier.
(wb, wwdxc BC-DX TopNews April 14)

UNID   9385.00  a S=6-7 signal observed at 0817 UT Apr 14. Even with SYNCR
option in E1 I couldn't trace the exact language, but I guess it was an
English speaking typical US like religious prayer.  WWRB is scheduled on
3185 til 1200 UT and later on 9385 from 1200 UT in US-FCC list.

At same time 08-09 UT fair propagation level from the west, like
Shepparton-AUS on 9580, 9590, 11945, and 13630 kHz, the strongest was 9710
on S=7 level. Supposedly via long path Pacific, Easter Isl, Colombia,
Bonaire, Azores into Europe.
(wb, wwdxc BC-DX TopNews April 14)

UNID   UTE stations in bc bands at 0800-0900 UT probably from Americas...
Unid RTTY 9652 S=4 at 0825, 9864 at 0830 UT, 11523.90, 11913.50, 12149,
STANAG on 12061 kHz, at 0840 UT.

Las radios de Mogadiscio se quedan sin m?sica

http://www.abc.es/agencias/noticia.asp?noticia=343818

Diez emisoras locales, entre ellas Radio Shabelle, Radio Cuerno de ?frica, 
Simba Radio, Tusmo Radio y Dana Radio, abrieron sus emisiones de hoy sin 
m?sica, seg?n dijeron a Efe en sus oficinas.

S?lo dos emisoras oficiales y con protecci?n armada, la gubernamental Radio 
Mogadiscio y la Bar Kulan Radio, de la Misi?n de la Uni?n Africana en Somalia 
(AMISOM), siguen emitiendo m?sica en Mogadiscio.

El presentador de Radio Shabelle, al abrir la programaci?n, dijo.

"Bienvenidos a Radio Shabelle, hoy es nuestro primer d?a de los d?as sin 
m?sica. Pedimos perd?n a nuestra querida audiencia, pero deben entender que es 
una orden de Hezb al Islam".

Hezb al Islam es una milicia radical isl?mica somal?, encabezada por Hassan 
Dahir Aweys, que lucha para derrocar al Gobierno Federal de Transici?n, apoyado 
por la comunidad internacional, y para imponer un estricto r?gimen musulm?n de 
corte wahab?.

Aweys est? en la lista de terroristas del Departamento de Estado de Estados 
Unidos y su grupo est? aliado contra el Gobierno con Al Shabab, otra milicia 
radical vinculada a Al Qaeda, con la que, por otro lado, se disputa el control 
de algunas zonas en el sur y centro de Somalia.

Muchos habitantes de Mogadiscio manifestaron su queja ante la suspensi?n de la 
emisi?n de m?sica, como en el caso de Yusuf Omar, un universitario que dijo a 
Efe: "Es una violaci?n de los derechos del pueblo a estar informado" y asegur? 
que espera "el momento en que Al Shabab sea derrotada y expulsada de 
Mogadiscio, como sus hermanos mayores (los talibanes) lo fueron de Kabul".

El Gobierno Transitorio, que encabeza el presidente Sharif Sheikh Ahmed y que 
no tiene pr?cticamente control territorial en el pa?s, conden? por su parte las 
presiones y amenazas a los medios.

El ministro de Informaci?n, Dahir Mohamud Gelle, dijo que "el pa?s est? en su 
peor momento. Los medios independientes no pueden trabajar en Mogadiscio, pero 
esperamos poder acabar con esta presi?n y restaurar la paz en nuestra ciudad".

Las organizaciones de periodistas locales han pedido a Hezb al Islam y Al 
Shabab, que realizan peri?dicas amenazas y prohibiciones a los medios de 
comunicaci?n, que dejen de acorralarlos.

Dahir Alasow, presidente de la Asociaci?n de Periodistas Somal?es, dijo hoy a 
Efe que "estamos muy preocupados por el incremento de la presi?n sobre los 
medios. Esto es lo peor que nos ha tocado vivir, pero esperamos que la justicia 
llegue y castigue a estos demonios".

En los ?ltimos a?os, Somalia ha sido uno de los pa?ses del mundo con m?s 
periodistas asesinados, la mayor?a pertenecientes a estaciones de radio, y en 
muchos casos han sido atribuidos a pistoleros de Al Shabab y Hezb al Islam.

Hoy mismo, Moalim Hashi Mohamed Farah, autoproclamado gobernador de Hezb al 
Islam en Mogadiscio, que el pasado 3 de abril dio diez d?as a las radios 
locales para dejar de emitir m?sica, dijo a Efe que cualquier emisora que lo 
haga "se enfrentar? a serios castigos".

Por su parte, Al Shabab prohibi? la semana pasada escuchar y emitir a la BBC 
brit?nica y a la Voz de Am?rica estadounidense en las zonas del centro y el sur 
del pa?s bajo su control.

"Desde hoy, todas las estaciones locales de la BBC y la Voz de Am?rica est?n 
cerradas y sus equipos quedan confiscados para evitar su diab?lica informaci?n 
y propaganda", se?alaba el viernes pasado un comunicado del grupo. EFE

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1

** CANADA. 9650, KBSWR relay hour in Korean via Sackville, once again replaced 
by RCI IS and ID loop in French and English, April 14 at 1434. I suspect 
another instance of lack of communication among Seoul, Montreal and Sackville, 
no one paying attention or taking responsibility for punching the right 
buttons, so who cares? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA [and non]. Firedrake April 14: not heard on 8-9-10 MHz bands, but on 
11500 at 1227 during drumming, lo het and atop some other music. Aoki shows 
this as one of many 24h Sound of Hope 1 kW non-direxional transmitters on 
Taiwan to tie up the jammers.

But the more likely collateral victim was Voice of Russia via TAJIKISTAN to 
South Asia, as in EiBi, 1200 English, 1300 Hindi, 1400-1500 English. 11500 was 
typoed in VOR`s own schedule as ``15000`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING 
DIGEST)

** CUBA [and non]. 15380, new RHC frequency colliding at about equal level with 
Qur`an from SAUDI ARABIA, April 14 at 1326, making fast SAH of maybe 20 Hz, 
1333 Saudi ID as it was gaining on Cuba. Riyadh is scheduled 12-14 at 310 
degrees only for Turkey, but their 500 kW USward carries on a bit further. Cuba 
starts 15380 already at 1100. Another great pick by Arnie (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX 
LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA [non]. 9780, new frequency for R. Rep?blica at 0200-0400 first reported 
by Jos? El?as D?az G?mez in Venezuela, I had trouble hearing at first but 
audible April 14 at 0203; poor signal but no jamming, compared to 9490 via 
Sackville until 0200. The 9780 broadcast may be UT Tue-Sat only. Site unknown, 
possibly UK, or Central America. It seems to put a better signal into Venezuela 
than it does into OK. JEDG sent a clip of them announcing 9780 for those two 
hours. WRMI knows nothing about it (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** INDONESIA. It pays for me to awaken a bit earlier than usual for better 
Asian reception. 3325, RRI Palangkaraya, best heard in a long time, S9+18, 
April 14 at 1158 with song, 1200 one pip, RRI ID, WIB timecheck, warta berita, 
the first minute of which with plenty of music produxion, presumably headlines, 
then W&M alternating. Really no sign of Buka, PNG on same frequency. This is 
right at local sunrise in Enid.

3345, RRI Ternate at 1202 April 14, also news in Indonesian but not // 3325, or 
maybe it was just a bit out of synch; quite weaker than 3325. 3345 back to 
music already at 1205.

4870, RRI Wamena, April 14 at 1209 with warta berita, // much stronger 4750 
Makassar, and a couple words out of synch (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING 
DIGEST)

** IRAN. 15555+, slightly hi in frequency, poor signal April 14 at 1335 with 
Qur`an, then YL in Japanese, which always seems a strange pairing, but not to 
the Voice of the Islamic Republic of Iran, 1330-1430 at 60 degrees from 
Kamalabad (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KURDISTAN. 11530, V. of Mesopotamia, via UKRAINE, April 14 at 1405 nothing 
but talk, but kept tuned waiting for Kurdish music which finally followed at 
1418; fair but fluttery signal from the PKK terrorists (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX 
LISTENING DIGEST)

** POLAND [non]. 11675, PRES via AUSTRIA, fairly good signal still, April 14 at 
1230 about remembering Pres. & Mrs. Kaczynski, improving relations with Israel, 
fourth day of mourning (website is still monochrome), controversy over where to 
bury them, plans for memorials and musea, new elexion must be held in June; 
1238 dirge music and ``Opera Connexions`` presenting art songs for rest of hour 
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) 

** RUSSIA [and non]. 15510+, slightly hi in frequency, April 14 at 1337 songs, 
split-second audio dropouts, hum, 1340 novelty/comedy song in Persian(?), 1346 
a more serious song, 1356 ``Love Story`` theme. What`s this? 

Finally answered by VOR IS at 1359. It`s the Pashto/Dari service via 
Armavir/Krasnodar, overlapping briefly with DW opening in Russian via Rampisham 
UK at 1400. I also heard a few syllables of Chinese in the transition as one 
must have erred in switching (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also 
CHINA [and non]

** SAIPAN [and non]. 9585 in Vietnamese, fair signal April 14 at 1220 
interrupting the flow between Radio Australia on 9580 and 9590. This is KFBS at 
12-13, also producing 5 kHz hets between the Australians. And it`s followed by 
KTWR GUAHAN at 1300-1330 on same in Sgaw Karen, per Aoki (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX 
LISTENING DIGST)

** SAUDI ARABIA. Collision on 15380: see CUBA [and non]

** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 3185, Brother Scare via WWRB, April 14 at 1155 saying 
another major SW station wants him 24/7, at a cost of $50,000 per month, but he 
doesn`t have the money for that, so please send him plenty. (That worx out to 
about $68 per hour.) He implied some other stations give him a better rate than 
that, and said he always pays in advance. That must be why several stations vie 
for his nonsensical biz; who cares about the public interest?

I happened to tune across him again on WWRB 9385 at 1423, saying he is 
rearranging radio schedules and asking for radio chex from Europe on 13845 --- 
is that signal better now that WWCR has changed antennas? (He is not on 13845 
at the moment; in fact not on the latest WWCR sked at all. I am sure they`d be 
glad to have him back, having lost Pastor Pete Peters.) Then at 1425 cut to 
exactly the same pitch heard 2.5 hours earlier, also saying that last month 7-8 
(presumably AM) stations were dropped, but 4-5 added (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX 
LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. VOA has cancelled all its SW broadcasts in Haitian Creole. These were 
greatly expanded from three half-hours per day shortly following the January 
earthquake. The extent of the expansion was not immediately clear since 
accurate schedules were not posted for weeks, but we soon monitored the 
additional times and frequencies.

Now that the A-Z language transmission schedule includes the extra hours, those 
are no longer heard, and furthermore the original half-hours, which in summer 
time would have been at 1130, 1630 and 2100 UT, are also missing from the HFCC 
schedule. 

Monitoring April 14, no sign of the 1130 transmission which was on 9505, and 
before than on 9670, nor via the Bonaire relay 6135, which is also gone from 
the RNW schedule. At 1630 nothing on previous 15390 or 17565. Not yet checked 
at 2100-2130 but surely also gone.

If the Haitians were so much in need of additional VOA broadcasts on SW then, 
how is it that now they no longer need them, or any Kreyol SW broadcasts from 
VOA at all? Are we to assume that any listeners in Ha?ti can easily access 
Lavwadlamerik via internet, mobile devices? Or are there some reliable FM or AM 
relays now? When did the airborne Commando Solo relays cease? Likely quite some 
time ago, but we don`t get any press releases or any other announcements about 
that or VOA cuts, which might be construed as negative.

On April 7, Radio Mart? got another transmitter at Greenville, labeled 
``temporary``, making four frequencies at once during most of the day rather 
than three, as I previously reported. This came out of the ex-Kreyol service. 
That may have been when Kreyol was canceled, if not earlier in the nascent A-10 
season. We suspected the extra SW for Mart? was to compensate for Marathon 1180 
being off the air temporarily, as frequently announced on RM (Glenn Hauser, OK, 
DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [non]. VOA at 1218 Wednesday April 14 going from Earth & Sky about big 
dams, to Wordmaster about English teaching, on 7575, also audible on 9505 and 
with ChiComQRM on 9760 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 4050, at 1134 April 14, fairly good signal with John Gibson on Fox 
Newstalk network, i.e. 3 x 1350 from KWMO Washington MO. So they do both 
far-right jabber and C&W music, as recently heard late at night, or is the C&W 
now displaced by The Mouth? 

Cardinals folder from Will Martin shows KWMO also on that baseball network, as 
if nearby flagship KTRS-550 did not totally overlap KWMO coverage. Upcoming 
night games at 0015 UT April 15, 17; 0005 UT April 19, 0140 UT April 20, 21, 22 
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** VATICAN [non]. Radio Vaticano/a has a new morning relay via CANADA, 227 
degrees from Sackville for Mexico, 1130-1215 on 9830, first Spanish, and from 
1200 English. April 14 at 1146 heard ID in Spanish, mixed with RTTY! Another 
station which is not paying attention to the non-broadcast QRM problem on this 
frequency. Doesn`t anyone send them reception reports with an I of 2 or 3? 
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

In 1992 Monitoring Times published an article of mine about a War of the Worlds 
broadcast gone-wrong from Radio Quito. The story can be found here:

My references were slim and the information was sketchy. A few years later Ken 
MacHarg did a feature on this on HCJB's DX Party Line. He interviewed me and he 
interviewed Javier Almeida, then director of Radio Quito. Sr. Almeida was very 
interested in the story and had tried to research it locally, but hadn't been 
able to learn much more so many years after the event. Many of the principal 
characters had moved out of the country in the years immediately following the 
event.

Just yesterday I received an e-mail from the son of Leonardo Paez - the main 
man behind the Quito War of the Worlds broadcast. Ivan (the son) corrected a 
few details of my story. Ivan also pointed out that his father had written a 
book about the event:

That article included a link to this article which gives a lot more detail 
about this interesting story.

It turns out there was an earlier Latin American version of this story in Chile 
in 1944:

There is some good reading here for radio history fans.

But, there is more to this. The son tells me that Leonardo Paez moved from 
Quito to Merida, Venezuela in 1955 when he took a job as director of Radio 
Universidad in Merida, which he held until about 1978. (He passed away in 
1991.) L. Paez is listed as director of Radio Universidad in the WRTH during 
the 1970s. That station should be familiar to longtime shortwave DXers. Radio 
Universidad was an easy catch on 3395 kHz in the 1970s when I was first active. 
I have over a dozen loggings of it from that time period. I remember it as 
being the strongest of Venezuela's 90 meter outlets back then. I wonder if 
anyone has an old QSL from them signed by Leonardo Paez?

The Radio Universidad connection is more noteworthy to me as I visited the city 
of Merida for two weeks after Christmas 1994. While there I visited Radio 
Universidad and had a long talk with the then-manager, who was the daughter of 
the station founder (not Paez). So, I spent spent some time sitting in Paez's 
old manager's office. If I had only known of the connection then, I could have 
learned a lot more about this story. 

Regardless, it's fun to bring together some details from one of the more 
interesting stories in Latin American radio history.

   Thinking outside the box isn't always enough. Sometimes you have to turn 
around and moon it.
