Dear John,
today August seemingly also public holiday in Greece and Cyprus...
Noted very same Greek language program of ERA5 ERT on 9420, 11645, and 15630
at 0930-1000 UT slot.
Multilingual service not on 17705 kHz today, probably only Monday to
Friday on weekdays, but not on holidays?

** ALBANIA. 13625, Monday Aug 15 at 1430, R. Tirana still missing, one
transmitter down all month (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake August 15, before 1300, generally poor conditions:
10300, very good at 1237
12980, good at 1241
13920, fair at 1243
14700, very poor at 1243; none higher
After 1330:
15280, poor at 1341; none higher up to 19 MHz
14950, good at 1342
13920, fair at 1342
12270, good at 1342
12025, very poor at 1342 under CNR1 jammer; none lower
Before 1430:
15720, very poor at 1424. Nothing in Aoki, EiBi or HFCC to account for this, so
probably Sound of Hope or maybe Voice of Tibet landed here
15280, fair at 1427, also with grind jammer; no others
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** LIBYA. 17725, Aug 15 at 1428, no signal. Chris Greenway pointed out that
fighting was getting near to the Sabrata shortwave site yesterday; but V. of
Africa has been quite sporadic anyway. Wolfgang B?schel says Sabrata is 38 km
from Al Zawiyah, but 17725 had been on and off earlier Aug 15, 1313-1316*,
*1318- (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 88.1, UT Monday August 15 at 0515, Harry Shearer`s `Le Show` is in
progress via KWOU Woodward, interview about Pfizer avoiding taxes. That makes a
semi-convenient time for us to hear it on the KGOU network, 0500 UT Mondays. I
see on their schedule they also have `Joe Frank` 24 hours earlier at 0500 UT
Sundays, before going to BBC overnight relays at 0600 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 7520, Aug 15 at 0159*, WWCR-1 QSY announcement to 3215, which did
come up within a minute, instead of 7465 where they were by mistake(?) the
night before.
9980, Aug 15 at 1419, WWCR-4 with Brother Scare, extremely strong, and clearly
audible in the background other audio which we found // 13845 WWCR-3. WWCR
fails to isolate one transmitter/antenna from another sufficiently, a
longstanding defect. Or the mix could be getting into the audio chain before
transmission.
15825, August 15 at 1423, WWCR-1 is extremely strong too, must be aided by
sporadic E not reaching VHF, with squeal as bad as ever on this transmitter,
splashing out to 15810 and 15840, where the much weaker but detectable spurs
are with same modulation; and furthermore once again putting wideband
modulation spikes roughly covering 15620-15710, and a weaker range from 15500
to 15560, QRMing numerous other stations in these ranges. Longstanding problems
that WWCR has failed to solve (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

Australian Heritage AM Radio
Series 1
Long Lost Australian Radio
Stars 3HA-3SH-3TR Victoria
____________________________
The latest additions to this popular series hosted by the Radio
Heritage Foundation at www.radioheritage.com have now been published.
The features take a nostalgic look back 65 years to the mid-1940s and
the personalities, programs and station profiles of Australian
Heritage AM Radio across the country before TV and FM arrived on the
scene.
Slightly quaint and qwirky for today's reader, the first series, now
approaching 50 features of individual stations gives a wonderful
insight into how radio entertained and informed Australians of the
age.
The new features cover the three original stations of the Victorian
Broadcasting Network - 3HA Hamilton, 3SH Swan Hill and 3TR Sale &
Gippsland and are all free to access at www.radioheritage.com.
Old station letterheads and photos of Managing Director David F Syme
and General Manager Rupert A Fitts have been found to illustrate the
items, along with original station logos and a pre-war network
advertisement.
If you have your own memories, memorabilia and more you'd like to
share about any of these VBN stations, or any of the stations
featured in series, the Radio Heritage Foundation wants to hear from
you.
It may be some old photos, booklets, newspaper or magazine articles
or even some recordings. Memories of listening to the radio over the
years are also important and wanted because they help people
understand the important community role played by radio over several
generations.
Coming soon....2DU Dubbo and 2GN Goulburn...............
