Subject: [HCDX] Denmark reactives long wave and leaves medium wave
Message-ID: <007801cc2c1f$bd7ff630$387fe290$@dk>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"
Today the Danish national public service radio station DR has reactived long
wave 243 kHz using a brand new Nautel 50 kW sender from the current
transmitter site in Kalundborg on the western part of Sealand (Sj?lland),
Denmark.
Broadcasting on medium wave 1062 kHz (250 kW) will cease on Monday June 27
2011.
>From today and until Monday the programmes will be simulcast on the two
frequencies. Broadcasting hours remain the same. Cf. WRTH or Euro-African MW
Guide for details.
The use of 243 kHz with 300 kW was ended in February 2007, but after Turkey
left the channel in October 2008, DR is the only radio station on this
channel. Thus it is estimated that the coverage will be pretty good on 243
although the power utilized is only 50 kW.

Re 540 Myanmar.
Are you sure?
There is no mention of the UTC time you heard
these stations, so not much value in these tips.

** ANTARCTICA. 15476, LRA36 is back. June 16 I started monitoring at 1232 with
my usual BFO technique tuned to 15475, and on came a very weak carrier at
*1235:50, S2 on the meter; 1242 imagination-level trace of music maybe, now S3
peaking to S7. 1259 still JBA carrier, but now the FRG-7 meter is `resting` at
S6 on open channels with no perceptible increased background noise level; maybe
thrown off by a stronger signal up the band desensitizing it? Attenuation makes
no difference in that reading. 15476 about the same JBA at 1342, 1350 at S2
again. Ron Howard in California first heard LRA36 back on June 14, but I was
not rechecking for it until now. Roberto Scaglione says they are running only
800 to 1000 watts (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1569, DX LISTENING DIGESET)
** CANADA. Sporadic-E analog TV DX without specific IDs: June 12 at 2256 UT on
channel 2, ads in English from the northeast; 2259 credit roll including Canada
logo, 2300 into another show with PG rating in upper left. UT June 13, 0100 CBC
on ch 4 from the NE; 0105, CBC exploding-pizza bug in lower-right from the NNW
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake June 13:
13920, very poor at 1147
14700, JBA at 1149
Firedrake June 16:
10300, fair at 1212; no lower frequencies audible
11500, fair at 1211; nothing else audible underneath
12270, good at 1215
12980, good at 1215
13130, good at 1215
13500, good at 1216
15540, poor at 1219; fair at 1306, and no others at this time
16100, poor at 1221
16980, good at 1220
17170, JBA at 1222
Next group before 1400 June 16:
16100, poor at 1353
15900, fair at 1353
13920, good at 1353
13500, good at 1354
12980, fair at 1354
11500, good at 1355
10300, poor at 1354
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** COSTA RICA [and non]. 9630, June 13 at 0507, open carrier instead of REE
relay, occasional pops; up against weaker 9625 with CBC NQ leftover tone test
just after its sign-off (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. Analog Es TV DX in Spanish from the south, June 16 at 1418 UT
tune-in on channels 2, 3, 4 and 5, mostly mixing, but did make out a net-5 bug
UR on 5 during toons; and at 1420 MUF reached ch 6 video (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** NEW ZEALAND. 11725, June 16 at 0523, dead air, must be RNZI as usual, while
11675 DRM was blasting noise away as always: if DRM is not modulating, it makes
no difference. 11725 carrier broke off the air for a minute at 0525.5, off
again at 0527.8; 0529 back on and finally joining modulation in progress (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SAIPAN. 9720, June 13 at 1137 Indonesian talk breaking up; 1140 bit of Dutch
voiced-over into Indonesian. Must be that defective IBB Saipan transmitter
again: yes, chex out in HFCC at 1100-1157, 100 kW, 225 degrees, RNW Indonesian
via Saipan. Do they know about this recurring problem back in Hilversum? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, D XLISTENING DIGEST)
** TURKEY. 15450, VOT listened to between chex for LRA36, June 16, Thursday:
1251-1257, `The Middle East Through Turkey`s Window` about strained relations
with Syria. Then podcast promo via http://www.trtenglish.com and Question of
the Month I was finally able to copy, but quoting it here would only enable
those who never listen to answer it (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WYFR missing from all checked frequencies, June 13 at 0508: 9985,
9715, 9680, 9505, 9385, 9355; and at 0510 also gone from 7730, 7520, 6875,
5985, 5950, 5850. Power failure, major maintenance or the end of an era? That`s
a total of 12 frequencies, but I read somewhere they have 14 transmitters now.
Certainly not due to propagation as neighbor 9955 WRMI was audible under
jamming with Jeff in Spanish. And no, the era resumes, as had WYFR at next
check 1130 with 5985 in hymn; 1135 with 9755 in Matthew 28; 1141 with 9625 in
English over CBC, etc., etc. BTW, Harold Camping had a stroke on June 9 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1569, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [non]. 17535, June 16 at 1223 poor signal with fadeouts, OM English
with accent I can`t place about Ephesians; 1227 YL joins in alternating, 1228
ending program as Adventist World Radio, addresses in India, ``we wish you good
health and a happy home``; music fill until 1230, AWR, Voice of Hope IDs and
IS, in English, French, another fading language, Italian? But 1231 in English
introduces program in another language, listed Bengali; all due east from
Wertachtal, GERMANY with 250 kW, per HFCC which also shows this colliding with
Riyadh, Saudi Arabia at 1200-1400, 500 kW at 100 degrees, but no sign of that
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 15635-15690, approx. extent of WWCR distorted spur field from //
15825, very strong with Es, June 16 at 1351 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1569 monitoring: first airing confirmed on WRMI
webcast, Thursday June 16 at 2101. Then checked 9955 at 2118, and to my
surprise also audible there poorly without jamming; or maybe masked by band
noise.
Other times on WRMI: Fri 1430, Sat 0800, 1500, 1730, Sun 0800, 1530, 1730, Mon
1130, 1530, 2130, Tue 1530, Wed 1530, Thu 0330, 1500 for a total of fifteen
chances. Thanks, Jeff!
The most reliable time in most of North America will probably now be on WWRB,
UT Friday 0330v on 5050. Thanks, Dave! WBCQ 7415 airing not until next
Wednesday at 2130 (or 2115 or 2100).
WWCR and IPAR have both canceled WORLD OF RADIO, which we explain at the
beginning of 1569, plus some new DX info before repeating most of the content
of 1568 which many listeners missed because of the abrupt removals from WWCR
and IPAR (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1569, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

El gobierno de izquierda salvadore?o, con el apoyo del Banco Mundial, inici?
este jueves un proceso para convertir a la radio y televisi?n estatales en
"medios p?blicos" aut?nomos, con el fin de acabar con el sometimiento a
intereses pol?ticos de los "gobiernos de turno".
