Information Minister, Ronnie Shikapwasha has maintained that the ZAMBIA
National Broadcasting Corporation -ZNBC- will soon place all its channels on
satellite, for effective transmission countrywide.
Lieutenant General Shikapwasha told Parliament that government has in next
years national budget allocated fifteen Billion Kwacha to enable the
corporation secure satellite space for five years.
He said the corporation will further buy 48 FM transmitters which will be
installed in rural areas in 2011.
Lieutenant General Shikapwasha added that the development has been necessitated
following the break down of ZNBC Radio One and Two Shortwave signals in
February 2010.(http://www.znbc.co.zm)

** ALASKA. 7355, KNLS makes a rare appearance here during English hour. I tune
by this frequency just about every morning and can`t hear it either due to
propagation or sporadicity. Anyhow, Oct 17 at 1210, fair signal talking about
Charles Russell, western painter, ``tribute to cowboy life in Oklahoma City,
just another stop along the American highway``, i.e. Rte. 66. As always, the
secular segments are too short, segu? to ``True Stories from the Bible in
Contemporary English``, about Xerxes (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CANADA. 6175, instead of Vietnam in Vietnamese, Oct 17 at 0513 via CANADA,
the VTC music fill loop was already running instead of waiting until 0527:30.
Babcock master control in London (on BBC premises) must have lost incoming
programme feed. Meanwhile, the NHK relay via Sackville on 6110 was normal:
that`s a direct exchange with RCI, maybe not routed thru London (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake October 17: none found 8-15 MHz between 1248 and 1255.
However, I see that plenty of it is being reported at other times and from
other places, e.g. Wolfgang B?schel in Germany, so my lack of it must be
primarily propagational (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GUATEMALA. 4055.0, R. Verdad JBA at 0514 Oct 17, matching 6055.0 REE (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** JAPAN [and non]. TP bandscan for carriers, Oct 17 just before sunrise: from
1217 upward in USB mode on the DX-398 at 9-kHz steps: 594, 693, 774, 792, 891,
1053, 1098, 1134. From 1223 downward in LSB mode, could hear only 1098, 774; no
audios, so flip to 10 kHz for Mexican SRS (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** MEXICO. Another search for sunrise skip MW DX, Oct 17. Around 1225, usual
suspects on 610, 650, 730, 870, probably relogs so kept seeking elsewhere.
700, at 1231, Mexican NA from the WSW; 1233 quick jingle ID with call letters
but could not copy, ``Buenos d?as de XE ---``, TC for 27:7 so is in CST/MDT
zone, into canned show ``Consejos para un mejor vivir``, maybe about astrology?
At least that was mentioned, soon fading out. Per WRTH the only fit is XEGD, 5
kW, La Poderosa, Hidalgo del Parral, Chihuahua. All others are in the wrong
part of Mexico except XEETCH, 5 kW daytimer, La Voz de los Tres R?os, Etchojoa,
Sonora, but that`s in the UT-7 zone.
** OKLAHOMA [and non?]. Continuing monitoring of steady but snowy analog signal
on channel 48 from the northeast with relay of KUOK-35, DTV Univisi?n from
Woodward/OKC: strength did not increase much toward local midnight 0500 UT Oct
17, but the channel 18 DTV ``bad`` signal I was getting from same direxion did
turn out to be Ponca City`s KTEW, decoding at 0248 with RetroTV // KXOK-31
Enid, as we also see joint IDs with it on the latter. Was Saturday night B&W
horror movie with color breaks by costumed studio hosts and macabre puppets.
KTEW PSIP displays as 18-1 KTEW-DT. That rules out KCPT Kansas City reception
on 18, further evidence that the ch 48 is not KUKC.
Better reception on 48 tnx to morning tropo enhancement. More Univisi?n with
OKC ad breaks; at 1430 I catch a supered ID in tiny letters at the upper right,
of two lines. The second line says Canal 13 de Cable (not sure of the number),
and the first line is mostly off-screen! due to the permanent over-scan of the
old Zenith 12-inch set I use for analog DX. Maybe the solution to this is on
that invisible line. At 1500 ran regular KUOK ID slide showing calls of ch 36
and 48 relays in OKC, not this one, plus 5-day forecast. Perhaps the UR supered
IDs appear only on the half-hour? Unfortunately had faded too far down by 1530.
Must keep an eye on that (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PERU. 18057.9, Oct 17 at 1343, very weak carrier, then bits of audio, only
music past 1353. R. Victoria, Lima, 3 x 6019.3 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** RUSSIA. 5930, mostly motorboating rather than Russian programming audible,
R. Rossii, already at 0516 UT Oct 17, even earlier than the night before. Would
be interesting to detect just how early it can be heard, as winter solstice

** TUNISIA. 9725, soprano with Arabic song, Oct 17 at 0506, good signal.
Figured it might be Tunisia so checked 7275, and found that // just in time, as
9725 cut off the air in mid-song at 0507:30 after a few sex of dead air, which
is the typical pattern when RTT deliberately goes off. Then at 0511:05*, 7275
also cut off the air. That must have been unexpected. Next check at 0605, 7275
was back on along with // 7335 in Arabic talk, news?
Per WRTH May update, nominal closetime for 9725 is 0500, along with 12005. HFCC
registrations for this read roughly one hour later than reality. Why would RTT
go from higher bands before sunrise to lower bands later? 9725 is aimed east,
100 degrees, while 7275 is aimed NW, 340 degrees (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX

** U S A. 660, Oct 17 at 1235 UT, Dineh drumming and chanting, no doubt from
KTNN, Window Rock AZ, with KSKY Dallas nulled. Is this really on night pattern
with null toward New York and us? Of course, it`s already sunny eastward from
OK, so why not day pattern? No way at this hour it could be degrading WFAN in
the Atlantic Northwest (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 7415, surprised to find WBCQ still on much later than usual, UT
Sunday Oct 17 at 0602 as who else would be playing the Star Spangled Banner?
Version by barbershop quartet, nice. I had previously lamented that WBCQ never
played the SSB, so hope they make a habit of it, in multiple versions. Now how
about all other US SW stations??
Before the last note could resolve, however, cut to buy-some-airtime promo by
Allan Weiner; and then to his generic sign-off of ``Free Speech Radio``, which
never mentions any frequency or schedule times, carrier cut immediately at
0604*. I wonder what they were running until 0600? Online guide shows off at
0400 after four hours of QSO Radio Show, UT Sundays only (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. Unusual propagation Oct 17 at 0506 prevented WYFR from
being heard at all on its 9 MHz channels, 9985, 9715, 9680; the last two
usually inboom in the nightmiddle. But still VG on 7520, 6985, 6875, 5985,
5950. Further signals on 9 MHz band were still incoming, e.g. TUNISIA. 11 MHz
was almost dead except for weak 11725 NZ, 11780 Brasil. At 0517, even 5985
started weakening, but recovered.
WWV reports: ``Geophysical Alert Message
# Solar-terrestrial indices for 16 October follow.

** U S A. 18125-USB, at 1335-1339 Oct 17, ham speaking Yiddish with American
accent mixed with some English. Or was it Low German? Certainly not High
German. Did not hear the other side, duplex? Finally IDed at closing as N2II.
ARRL lookup shows:

** VENEZUELA [non]. ``Al?, Presidente`` check Sunday Oct 17 at 1632: special

programming // 15380, 13680, 11760, 11730, 11690, report from Canad? about

UNIDENTIFIED. 15261-SSB, 2-way (or 3-way?) colloquial Spanish contacts,

NICOSIA (AFP) - ? Cypriot radio stations are working together to put the
spotlight on the victims and crack down on customers of a thriving sex
trade on the divided island despite some timid visa reforms.
"I came to Cyprus to work as a waitress. That is what they told me. Now
they force me to sleep with clients! I am not a prostitute. They force
me to do it," said a woman speaking on Radio Astra, owned by Cyprus's
ruling Akel party.
A condemnation follows: "Human trafficking is a serious violation of
human rights. The tolerance and use of victims' services is our complicity."
The plan to enlighten Cypriots was launched two years ago when the
government abolished "artiste" visas for "dancers," often from eastern
Europe, in any of the 100 or so cabarets that the holiday island used to
have.
Since then, the Greek Cypriot authorities in the government-controlled
south of the island, which joined the European Union in 2004, say there
are only 44 of the clubs left.
"The interior minister has changed the rules and now it's better," said
Neophytos Neophytou, deputy editor-in-chief of Radio Astra.
"But it's still important to inform Cypriot society, especially the
young people, to teach them the difference between (consensual)
prostitution and trafficking."
Monday marks the annual European Day against Human Trafficking which the
27-nation bloc launched three years ago.
But experts in the field say Cyprus's abolition of artiste visas --
around 3,000 were issued in 2007 -- has made barely any difference at
all, instead moving the problem elsewhere, mostly to bars and massage
parlours.
"The truth is that two years ago they sold girls with artiste visas, and
today they sell them with work visas," said Androulla Henriques, vice
president of ACESS-Suisse, an organisation combating sexual exploitation.
In a report on human trafficking, the US State Department warned in June
against the dangers involved in granting special visas to performing
artists and waitresses in Cyprus.
And in a letter to Interior Minister Neoklis Sylikiotis, EU High
Commissioner for Human Rights Thomas Hammarberg urged Cypriot
authorities to "ensure that no type of visa or work permit can be abused
for such unlawful purposes as trafficking human beings."
Half the applications for work permits are turned down, according to the
interior ministry, which says it demands proof of the artists'
qualifications and now requires that they come as part of a group.
The bars are no longer allowed to employ non-European waitresses.
"They changed the name of the visa, the name of the contract, but the
situation hasn't changed: the women are still here, and the risk of
trafficking also," said Susan Pavlou of the Mediterranean Institute for
Gender Studies.
She believes the clients, most of whom are married Greek Cypriots
according to her organisation, should be prosecuted.
Cyprus is also having to contend with a new phenomenon: street
prostitution, with Filipinas, Chinese and Vietnamese women offering
themselves, day and night, for just a few euros, non-governmental
organisations say, to pay back immigration networks.
In the Turkish-held north of the island, the situation is even more
troubling.
Since June, Turkish Cypriot station Radio Mayis has been broadcasting
awareness messages in collaboration with Radio Astra.
Henriques described the "appalling life" of foreign women in the north
who are deprived of their freedom, singling out the garish nightclubs
dotted along the westbound motorway out of northern Nicosia.
In its June report, the State Department said nearly 1,000 "hostess"
work permits were issued last year in northern Cyprus, which has 42
nightclubs, adding that the authorities had no procedures to identify
trafficking victims.
Sener Elcil, secretary general of the union of Turkish Cypriot teachers,
said the police in northern Cyprus do nothing to prevent people
trafficking, and are even colluding with the organisers.
"Turkey is responsible for these (cabaret) activities. The mafia rules
the northern part of the island, and police do nothing. Even worse,
they're involved, they hold the passports of the girls when they arrive."
