UNID LA - 6035v, unid Latin only heard briefly this morning around 1025 when
for
two minutes, an instrumental theme song 'Ave Maria' was heard, with YL SS ancr
talking over the music. Horrendous side-channel splatter making copy nearly
impossible. Would make sense if this was the ending musical theme for a daily
morning rosary show, as previously reported. Am a bit doubtful that this is
the
HJ, Guaviare, but will need more work to sort this out. (R Perry, Illinois)

** ANTARCTICA [and non]. 15476, LRA36 back on the air Monday May 2 following
weekend off. At 1311, S9 to S9+10 peaks and going from easily heard music to
talk at strain level. 1314 back to better-audible music again. The trio of XYLs
should sing their announcements for much better projexion! At this time the
Esperanza signal stood out, with nothing stronger on adjacents, but hardly
outstanding. Also much better than Turkey 15450 during hi-latitude propagation
degradation. By 1352, UK on 15480 could be heard, 250 kW eastward, but the 2 kW
on 15476 holding its own! Altho LRA36 as usual weakening by now (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CANADA. 6070, CFRX Toronto still missing May 2 at 0542, and also at 1302.
Time for its ODXA contacts to check up on it. Replying to my previous report,
at 0029 UT May 2, Robert LaFore, Acworth GA wrote, ``No sign of CFRX here in
Georgia, Normally it is in most of the day.`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** CANADA. 9625, May 2 at 0538, CBCNQ carrier is still on, and this time also
with continuous tone, weaker than ACI REE CR 9630 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake May 2: all heard were //
7970, no sign of it at 1253 or anytime later
10300, poor at 1323; none on 10965/10970 or lower than 10300; 10300 very poor
with flutter at 1434
11500, very poor with flutter at 1322; not positive FD in the mix
13130, very poor at 1319
13920, poor at 1320 with utility QRM. None in the 12`s
14700, JBA at 1318
14970, fair at 1318
15900, I tuned into good open carrier at 1315, and Firedrake music cut on at
1315:38. Is there now a standard 15-minute break at hourtops?
16100, as good as // 15900 at 1316; none higher
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [and non]. 9955, May 2 at 0537 vs WRMI in Spanish, DentroCuban Jamming
Command producing a different sound than usual: not the wall of noise, not the
pulsing, but a whine with intermittent oscillating tone rather like a phone
ringing, but each lasting longer than a normal single ring. What`s being
jammed? R. Praga, Rep?blica Checa, scheduled daily at 0530-0600. Are the Cubans
still so pissed at Czechia for overthrowing communism and going capitalist?
More likely typical incompetence.
5955, May 2 at 0545, the jamming against R. Rep?blica had a similar sound to
9955, but totally obliterating it.
Meanwhile, at 0545, 6030 had normal lite pulsing against nothing, Cuba
unwilling to observe a total weekly truce while R. Mart? is off the air for 6
hours Monday mornings (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ECUADOR [non]. Re previous report, the WRMI times for DX Partyline --- one
of them was wrong as I have to convert all the times on the grid from EDT times
and days to UT times and days: UT Tuesday 0330, not UT Monday. I also missed
Tue 1500, since in searching the grid, it`s just ``DXPL``, Here`s the whole
list again:
Plenty of DXPL times, a baker`s dozen: Sun 0030, 1430, 2330; 0500, 1115, 1545;
Tue 0330, 1500; Wed 1430; Thu 0515; Sat 1000, 1500, 2015.
For the remaining DXPL times on IPAR, HCJB Australia [never HCJB Ecuador!], and
WWCR, see the updated
http://www.worldofradio.com/dxpgms.html
Also for the other English DX programs on WRMI: WORLD OF RADIO, WAVESCAN, VIVA
MIAMI (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. 9526-, VOI continues to be very poorly audible, just enough to
detect the off-frequency carrier and bits of modulation, May 2 before and after
1300 English, a far cry from the big signal it usually had thru March into
early April; a seasonal thing, or change in power/antenna? (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KOREA NORTH [non]. 6135, Shiokaze/Sea Breeze reported by Ron Howard on this
alternate frequency since April 28, out from under R. Australia on 6020, so I
try to hear it May 2: with BFO at 1328 I am hearing a weak TADIL-A 5+1 bonker
on the lo side, and at 1329 a carrier comes on 6135 from JSR, but that`s all I
can get this far into the dayside, so can`t expect to listen to it again until
autumn, as they never switch to a higher band (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** KUWAIT. 15540, R. Kuwait again on the air late after closing English at
2100, in Arabic at 2108 April 28, better than // 17550 [not 17750 as typoed in
original report] which is supposed to be on until 2400 but much more subject to
fading and fadeouts (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NEW ZEALAND. 9615, just as I tune in May 2 at 1257, I hear Guam mentioned in
a down-under accent before the carrier cuts off. I seriously suspect it was
RNZI, which per its own schedule at
http://www.rnzi.com/pages/listen.php
is supposed to be on 9655 until 1258:
1059-1258 9655 AM Timor, NW Pacific Daily
but poorly heard here as it is on the NW antenna toward Timor. As soon as the
carrier went off at 1258, I could hear a weak YFR theme, i.e. due south from
Irkutsk, RUSSIA.
By the time I got to 6170 at 1302 during news, RNZI was on there as normal, but
weakening into the dayside. At 1330 I could tell that `Mailbox` was starting
with theme and right into utility DX report, but too poor; will have to demand
it online. If they had stayed on 9615 this time, would have been readable.
9615 is on the current RNZI schedule only at 1836-1950, so apparently their
computer control messed up again (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. As I was bandscanning MW on the caradio, Sunday May 1
at 1933 UT, came across Brother Scare on KTLR 890 OKC, just as he was
pontificating on the ``beautification`` of PJP2. Wish I had heard him say that
more than once, whether it was just a tongueslip or real ignorance of which he
is so capable. Has anyone else heard him say that? What a difference one letter
makes (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SPAIN [and non]. 11815 via COSTA RICA, REE, May 2 at 1305 opening weekdaily
`Espa?oles en la Mar` program with standard Morse code ID; just copied the last
three letters, MAR, mixing with Japanese speech and SAH from NHK direct. Much
better on // 11880 northward.
Next time, listen earlier for a special character you won`t hear in English,
the ?. Wikipedia says: ``When the Morse Code was extended beyond English, a
symbol was allotted for this character, though it is not used in English ( ? ?
? ? ? ).`` Lots more about Enye at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%91
Yes, the original URL has that single strange letter at the end.
11880, Monday May 2 at 1435, REE is amid token English news headlines by OM
announcer, not Justin Coe, with a somewhat British accent, mostly about Bin
Laden; says another victim of Al-Qaida terrorism, Spain approves of killing
him. 1438 handed over to Arabic YL without outroing himself.
After less than a minute, the closing in Castilian plays, as she starts to
cough; must have hit the wrong button, as then she resumes with a bit more
Arabic news, also about Bin Laden, before the closing plays again to conclude
by 1440 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9370, WTJC still out of whack, May 2 at 0540 with modulation spikes
around 9345 and 9395. Worse than ever at 1300 with ID, requesting reception
reports! And into IRN-USA slanted `news`. Now the spurs are as strong as the
fundamental. By 1339, the spur field has increased to bother WBCQ on 9330, IBB
on 9355, WWRB on 9385, and most points in between, as far out as 9320 and 9420.
9385 WWRB had usual very strong signal with BS, but the scratchy spur from WTJC
could be heard underneath, tsk2 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 11715-, no sign of KJES, Monday May 2 at 1322, unlike Sunday at 1356
in previous report. However, at 1405, S9+12 carrier but just barely modulated
with singing, eventually recognizable as `Ave Maria` with guitar accompaniment.
Much better reception from the fellow zombies in P`yongyang on 11710. As usual,
KJES frequency slightly on lo side, compared to something on 9715, listed as
IBB TINIAN in Vietnamese (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9955, Monday May 2 at 1434, Roberto Scaglione`s `Studio DX` in
Italian is audible, poor WRMI signal but not jammed for a change. See also CUBA
[and non], ECUADOR [non] (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

Message-ID: <[email protected]>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1
Media Release

www.radioheritage.com
May 3 2011
Christchurch [NZ]
Radio Dial Returns
to Normal
_____________________
The Radio Heritage Foundation says the local radio dial in
Christchurch [New Zealand] is almost back to the situation it was
before the massive earthquake of February 22 2011 which disrupted
many services.
All radio station brands from the main broadcasting networks
[Radioworks, The Radio Network, Radio New Zealand and Rhema
Broadcasting Group] are on air with normal programs and no reported
technical issues. Access to some local studios in the CBD continues
to be an issue but the stations have been working around this problem
for over two months now.
Community access stations Plains FM and Compass FM are basically
operating their usual schedules along with most other independent
stations in the city, although again, some studio facilities remain
off-limits in the CBD, with Pulzar FM amongst the worst affected.
The eastern suburbs of the city have seen the return of local low
power FM stations The Wave FM from Sumner and Burwood Community
Radio, and Beachbreak FM at South New Brighton is close to returning
to the airwaves.
"Invercargill based Classic Gold now has a low power station located
at New Brighton replacing the high powered emergency mobile station
we initiated and which they operated as Radio New Brighton 102.1 FM
for two months from outside the Central New Brighton School" says
foundation chairman David Ricquish.
>From this week, students at the fringe CBD based NZ Broadcasting
School have also launched C96 FM using a high powered transmitter
covering the city. The station is dedicated to the rebuilding of
Christchurch and has a fund raising target of $NZ50,000 [$US30,000]
to support local businesses and the community.
"Radio proved it was able to respond quickly to local needs after the
earthquake, although it did require bringing in additional resources
from out of the city in the initial weeks, including a totally new
local station for the eastern suburbs" says Ricquish.
"It's clear that if a similar event should occur again, radio
resources in the city would again be stretched, probably beyond
breaking point. The value of having self-sufficient local community
radio stations across the metro area has been driven home by the
February earthquake, and they must be accorded greater value in
future planning'.
The Radio Heritage Foundation was saddened to see the demolition of
the original Radio Broadcasting Company [3YA] studios and building in
Christchurch in recent days, another casualty of the earthquake and
damage caused to many older buildings.
The Radio Heritage Foundation is a registered non-profit organization

Hello, I'd like to give you some good news about how your support and
interest is making it possible to do more in 2011 to help tell more
people about the good role that radio plays in our daily
lives.....and how we're able to record more of this good news at
www.radioheritage.com.
Most of us live busy lives, with many calls on our time, knowledge
and resources, so firstly, thanks for taking some time today to catch
up with us in what I hope will become a more regular [and thus
shorter] message!
You've heard of Elvis Presley? Did you know it's now 50 years since
he released a great record called 'Blue Hawaii' and starred in a
movie of the same name? So to celebrate, visit www.radioheritage.com
for our latest feature which connects Elvis [popular culture], old
movies and songs [nostalgia] and the Hawaiian Radio Dial in 1961
[radio heritage]........and watch out for our new "Blue Hawaii
Competition" which we'll announce in a few days......
Fans of Australian radio will enjoy the new Long Lost Australian
Radio Stars features: 2UW Sydney 'The Station All Australia Knows',
2MO Gunnedah 'A Fine Station in a Fine District', 2HD Newcastle, 2GZ
Central NSW 'Country Service' and 2BS Bathurst 'Centre of the
West'.....now over 40 of these features are available at
www.radioheritage.com..so please enjoy them.......
The recent ANZAC Day [April 25] commemorations encouraged us to add a
brand new feature 'Fighting Voices from Downunder' tracing radio 'in
action' from 1939 through to 1970. This includes Australian, New
Zealand and American radio services through several shared conflicts
of that time.
You'll also find coverage of the Christchurch [NZ] Earthquake and the
mobile radio station we arranged to have broadcast from the city
within a couple of weeks, 2ZW The Voice of the Capital City, and a
completely expanded Bookstore & More at www.radioheritage.com...now
with 200+ hand picked books..and our Top 5 Books of the Month for
May....the ARRL Antenna Book, Fresh Air, Champagne & Caviar, Radio
Shangri-La and the World Radio TV Handbook 2011...........all great
reading, and book bargains from just 1c as well..
In the coming weeks you'll find more changes at www.radioheritage.com
as we work with our new on-line publisher Chris Mackerell to make the
website easier to read, less cluttered, and with more new features.
This is part of the good news that you're helping make possible, with
35 donors coming foward since January to help us cover our daily
operational costs...we just need 23 more at US$100 each to fully
cover those costs to April 30....and you'll shortly receive a special
request to become one of these 23 supporters.
