Voice of America operator plans "sunset" for shortwave radio broadcasts
The sun is setting on Voice of America's shortwave radio service,
heard worldwide in dozens of languages for 70 years.
A strategic technology plan prepared by the Broadcasting Board of
Governors (BBG), the federal agency responsible for Voice of America,
Alhurra, Radio Free Asia and other international stations, concludes
that it should end many shortwave broadcasts in favor of "more
effective" media such as internet radio.

** ANTARCTICA. 15476, June 6 at 1234, 1243, 1252, 1323, 1409 chex: still no
LRA36, can`t generate enough to run the transmitter at 2 kW (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CANADA [and non]. 6070, June 6 at 1204, CFRX with news of security breach at
ScotiaBank, ripple SAH presumably from usual N. Korea at this hour; no sign of
Voz de la Resistencia, FARC clandestine in Colombia, which Rafael Rodr?guez in
Bogot? had heard a day or two earlier at this time on 6070, reactivated on SW
after more than seven years, previously circa 6239v. It may have been a
one-shot special for their 47th anniversary. Not that I would have expected to
hear it at 12-13 under these circumstances; let`s hope for further broadcasts
at more amenable hours or frequencies (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake June 6:
16980, JBA at 1252
16100, very poor at 1252; poor at 1324
15970, fair at 1252; fair at 1540
15430, JBA at 1332? Not sure it`s there at usual time
14950, very poor at 1252? Not certain it`s there vs DTV box jamming
14700, poor at 1218; fair at 1253; very good at 1329
13920, fair-good at 1329, not earlier
13130, fair at 1255; none in the 12s
10970, fair at 1220; fair at 1255
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KOREA NORTH [and non]. 6230, June 6 at 1206, jamming consisting of regular
pulsing, tone and noise vs something underneath. June 5 Aoki says there is N
Korean jamming here at 0651-2301, vs an unID from S Korea at 0700-0740 and
1200-1240. The only other entry for 6230 is YFR via Taiwan at 22-24 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** LIBYA. 17725, June 6 at 1412, hilife music with good modulation for a
change, S3 but peaking to S9+5. Good, at last we`ll hear Q`Daffy`s side, the
latest on what`s happening! Oh, no --- 1413 ID as V. of Africa from the Great
Jamahiriyah, and multi-n-th replay of the talk on the African Union, ``a
strategical development``, 9.9.99! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. After watching snow on channel 2 most of the day June 5, i.e. no
analog DX signals, despite lots of 6m ham activity all over the continent, I
quit for a while; but turning it on again at 0220 UT June 6, now there is a
sporadic-E opening, Spanish from the south up to channel 5 or even 6, but
multi-station even on 5 so nothing identifiable. At 0225 there was soccer on 4;
at 0303 ch 5 had net-2 briefly atop the mix; 0331 on 3, audio promo for canal
5, i.e. XHBQ. 0404 still CCI on 3 and 2.
Meanwhile, I tried FM for a while on the DX-398 portable, and something Mexican
was making it on 88.1 at 0309 UT June 6, interview by W in studio with M on
phone, about something going on in Guadalajara. But there is no 88.1 in
Guadalajara or anywhere in Jalisco, and even if there were, this would not be
enough for a definite. Cant? by frequency shows only three Mexicans on 88.1, by
far the most likely being ``XHRED, Radio Red FM, M?xico, DF, 95,128`` watts.
1544 UT June 6, Es is underway again, net 5 video only on channel 3, briefly in
the clear, therefore XHBQ Zacatecas, with cartoon, seems Flintstones, // ch 2
also with audio but CCI there. Soon faded out, but some signals in and out next
hour+ on ch 2 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NIGERIA [and non]. 15120, June 6 at 0518, VON must be the dominator tonight
with hum but very little modulation of intelligence, atop Chinese radio war
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. 12100, WTWW-3 still missing at chex: June 6 at 0520, whilst
Australia was audible on 12080; and also absent at 1330 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 17795 // weaker 15770, June 6 at 1334, on WYFR a much younger Harold
Camping still discussing Ruth and Boaz, convinced that every word of the KJV in
English is direct from God, with hidden meanings behind the history. They
continue to dredge up ancient tapes of the Great Authority, before he went off
on his exact-date-of-rapture kick (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 15825, June 6 at 1408, WWCR at S9+18 has Es boost above the threshold
to audibilize its modulation spur spikes during YL preacher, peaking around
15675, extending 15665-15685. Even stronger at 1540 now expanding to
15650-15700 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** VATICAN [non]. 13730 via CANADA, Monday June 6 at 1213, back in English
ending ``Vatican Radio World News`` with papal stuff, fair signal to open
carrier at 1214, still no IS. On Sunday this segment stays in Spanish (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 15100, June 6 at 1410?1415* continuous 1000 Hz tone test; recheck
at 1540 found `Balkan` music, like previous days on other frequencies; RIZ
Zagreb test? See also 15445 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 15445, June 6 at 1232-1242.5*, 1000 Hz continuous tone test, poor
signal comparable to adjacent Turkey 15450. Still off at 1250. Nothing
registered here between 10 and 15. A lot of these have shown up the past few
days (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 15760, June 6 at 1215, VTC or rather Babcock, soporific music
loop fill. Long pauses of about 28 sex between repetitions of the music which
lasts almost 60 seconds. Cut off the air at 1249:14* before the final repeat
could complete. SLBC Sri Lanka is the only HFCC registration at this time,
probably wooden vs 15745 in Hindi; and Israel later on 15760. Aoki also has
Sound of Hope via Tajikistan at 1330-1400 only, but probably unrelated to this
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

** ERITREA. 9820.03 NF, Voice of the Broad Masses of Eritrea -
program 2, *0258-0324, June 6, new frequency. ex-9830.03. Sign on

with QRM from a weak unidentified station on 9819.87. Brazil?

of Africa music at 0332. Some rustic local music. Local flute music.
Oromo talk. Fair signal strength at sign on but deteriorated to weak
levels by 0345. Poor overall signal quality due to possible noise jammer
on high side and adjacent channel splatter on low side. At least no
co-channel QRM with Radio Marti off the air on UTC Mondays.
(Brian Alexander, PA)
?
** ETHIOPIA. 9705, Radio Ethiopia, 2015-2100:30*, June 5, wide
variety of Euro-pop, Afro-pop, local folk, and local Horn of Africa style
music. Amharic talk. Possible news at 2057. National Anthem at 2059.
Fair. No sign of Niger today. (Brian Alexander, PA)

15099.998 measured against WRM Moscow 14996 and WWV Fort Collins 15000 kHz.
Re Balkan music today on 15100 kHz. {Probably} RIZ Zagreb engineer plays
music originate from "Slavonia - Eastern Croatia" [Kninska Krajina],
tentatively from TX center in Egypt, Libya or Saudi Arabia?
15099.998 kHz at 1735 UT n sdr remote units
S=9+15dB in Iceland,

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"
IRIB in Italian for the 1930-2000 broadcast is now on 9685 (ex 7350 KAM), in
parallel to 5910 SIR. Not yet in the 3 June HFCC file. Not a punch-up error as
I just happened to catch the frequency announcement: 5910 and 9685! Both are
very strong here. CRI in French and a utility station are audible on 7350,
probably the reason for the change. 6 June 2011, 1931 UTC.
