** ALBANIA. 13755 had no OTH radar June 10 unlike yesterday after 1400, but
checked R. Tirana anyway at 1431: as always, reciting full English schedule. At
the beginning of A-10 I confirmed they were announcing new times and
frequencies correctly, so have not been paying much attention to it, an
obstruxion to getting each English broadcast on the road.
But the final item was ``0430`` on a 6 MHz frequency in the 49m band, ergo,
this was the old B-09 winter season schedule, since currently the last
transmission is 0330 on 7425! Besides getting it correct, I continue to urge R.
Tirana to move the transmission schedule announcement to the END of each
broadcast. All we need at the beginning is the frequency for the current
outsending. Especially when there are two rather than one, so intuners know
they have an alternative if the one they are listening to is inadequate.
However, this would require each transmission to be individualized, maybe too
much trouble.
As for reception on 13755, tho S9+5 at peaks, it was no match for CRI via
Habana on 13740, at least S9+25 and splashing upon 13755 especially during
music. Truly, Cuban transmitters are the bane of shortwave, and it seems they
should be avoided even more than 15 kHz (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ANTARCTICA. 15476, LRA36, June 10 at 1352 carrier detectable, and then some
JBA music modulation, 1353 YL announcement. This time it`s stronger than the
15480 station, which is not saying much. 1405 I thought it had outfaded until I
touched the tuner and found the carrier was still there, dead air? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake June 10:
8400, JBA in noise level at 1306. No others found by 1345 up to 19 MHz
People are still wondering what to call this jamming consisting only of
traditional Chinese instrumental music, while we have this well-accepted and
documented term, Firedrake, as explained a number of times in DXLD.
Someone referred to this as ``snake charming music`` --- I disagree: you don`t
charm cobras by crashing and banging, but by gentle sounds in a regular rhythm
as the flute weaves back and forth, more of a visual thing for the cobras which
are in fact deaf. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_Cobra
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. 9526-, VOI, good modulation June 10 for the third day in a row!
1310 mentioning anniversary of the mutiny on the Bounty; strangely enough, this
was toward the end of the (current) newscast, soon followed by repeating
headlines. 1311 commentary about Obama cancelling his visit to Indonesia again;
they seem a bit miffed. 1314 Today in History (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** JAPAN [non]. 11655, NHKWNRJ June 10 at 1415 with unusual programming,
continuous unannounced soft jazz on piano with bass, until finally 1432
Japanese talk. Sackville relay must have been filling during program feed
outage. Refund on the way to Tokyo? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** LIBERIA. 4025-, Star Radio carrier, presumed, June 10 at 0615, detectable vs
QRM and as usual slightly low compared to Cuba 5025 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. A bit of TVDX later in the evening June 9, UT June 10: at 0230 ch 3
from west, documentary? At times heavy CCI from almost same offset, 3 or so
large bars. Likely scenario: XHBC Mexicali vs XHQ Culiac?n, both zero offset
per W9WI.com. The offset designers obviously did not take into account the
needs of DX viewers in OK.
At 0240 on channel 2, brief fade in with Azteca-7 net logo, and here the only
likely is XHENT, Ensenada BCN, 50 kW (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 11715, KJES, June 10 at 1500, S9+15 but just barely modulated, an
exercise in piety; Yahweh mentioned, not the God of the Pope, from this
pseudo-Catholic station, and 1501 child pleading for reports with ID (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ZAMBIA. 13590, 1Africa, June 10 at 1410 hyper YL DJ with SMS numbers, bits
of music mixed, then into gospel rap, ``Praise the Lord`` just about the only
lyrix. Stronger than usual, S9+12, but still heavily CODARed (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 6025-, FRCN Enugu, BIAFRA, suspected source of barely detectable
carrier, June 10 at 0615. WRTH 2010 has it as inactive/irregular, so can
someone in the area confirm whether it has been on lately? Offset is just about
identical to Star Radio, LIBERIA below 4025, which has been measured at -15 Hz.
If 6025 were Dominican Republic, it was slightly on hi side of frequency when
heard 3 nights ago (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

Broadcast Australia and RTM Malaysia order Continental Electronics DRM
Transmitters
Broadcast Australia has asked DRM member company Continental Electronics to
supply two new DRM-ready 100 kilowatt transmitters for two of its short-wave
stations. The purchase represents the first step in Broadcast Australia?s
plan to enhance its digital short-wave (HF) broadcast capabilities
throughout its network of transmitters. The state-of-the-art Continental
Model 418G-DRM transmitters will enable Broadcast Australia to transmit
programming in analogue AM and digital (DRM) modes from both stations,
Tenant Creek and Shepparton. Both transmitters are expected to be on the
air and fully operational by late summer.
Radio-Television Malaysia (RTM) has chosen the same Continental model for
its new short-wave transmitters. The three 100 kilowatt DRM-ready HF
transmitters from Continental, along with other associated equipment, are to
be installed in the RTM transmitting station at Kajang, and will enable RTM
transmissions in digital DRM format as well as conventional analogue AM.
RTM?s new transmitters are expected to be on the air and fully operational
before the end of the year.
