Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1
** ANTARCTICA. 15476, Sept 13 at 1247 nothing detectable from LRA36, and only a
few signals on 19m, Cuba and VOA 15590 best. Not checked again until 1403 when
band has opened up a lot, and there is a carrier now on 15476, with bits of
music, still JBA at 1420 making 4 kHz het against 15480 doomed Rampisham (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake Sept 13:
7970, poor at 1235
10300, good at 1241
11500, poor at 1242, SAH atop another carrier
13920, very poor at 1245
13960, poor at 1245 (not usual 13970); none in the 14s and up
15900, JBA with flutter at 1359-1400*; no time to check for more now
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** EGYPT. 17625, again Sept 12 at 1922, no signal from R. Cairo, but a JBA one
with Doppler wobble on 15270 at 1926. Wolfgang B?schel suggests 17625 may have
been an antenna test for possible Fulani use in the next season, and that seems
plausible. In that case it would not matter what language they put on it,
whatever is handy, such as English on the air at the same time. But the whole
thing is an exercise in futility unless they can manage to modulate at a normal
level (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. 9525-, VOI, Tuesday Sept 13 at 1302 poor with opening Exotic
Indonesia conversation between Jak and the RRI Banjarmasin guy; 1303 opening
news from Jak, 1305 over to YL in Banjarmasin for some news from her area about
landslides, etc. Noted one intermittent audio dropout before going to Singapore
9740 to listen to BBC clearly the rest of the hour (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. Sunrise DX Sept 13, UT:
580, Sept 13 at 1206, mentions Chihuahua several times and program `Amanecer
Ranchero`, so per Cant?:
580 XEFI Radio Mexicana Chihuahua, Chih. 5,000 700
620, Sept 13 at 1208 with 6:07 TC on the 13 de setiembre, so:
620 XEBU La Norte?ita Chihuahua, Chih. 5,000 1,000
the only Mexican in the UT-6 timezone
680, Sept 13 at 1212, `La Mera Jefa`, Sonora, promo, but must have said
Sinaloa, as this is the only one:
680 XEORO La Mera Jefa + FM 93.7 Guasave, Sin. 1,000 500
The slogan means literally ``The mere boss`` [female], but perhaps a native
speaker can explain what this slang really refers to. Is it misogynistic, or
misanthropic? Other stations on 820, 970 even call themselves ``La Mera Mera``
(Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NIGERIA. 15120, Sept 13 at 0525, VON in well on another of its rare
appearances, audio glitches, hummy and undermodulated, overaccented, making
copy difficult: YL talking about sports in Soweto; not much else on 19m except
Australia 15160, 15240, and no hi-latitude ChiCom QRM on 15120 for a change.
Into a fade at 0534 so I turned on BFO and noticed a WINB-like warble, carrier
instability; resurged around 0545 with African music (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** SUDAN [non]. 13620, Sept 13 at 0524, R. Dabanga via MADAGASCAR, good in
Arabish and no 1000 Hz tone jamming audible for a change; maybe it was propped
out from a higher latitude path. Nothing audible on // 13730 via Germany, altho
Vatican was in well on 13765, much better than VOR via DVR on 13775. O yeah,
that`s because this Vatican is also via Madagascar (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** TAIWAN [non]. 15690, Sept 12 at 1924, nice chimes, Chinese ID, into French,
1925 RTI ID in French, fair with flutter. This 19-20 500 kW, 190 degrees via
FRANCE is the only real French broadcast of RTI, altho we were treated to some
French by mistake several nights ago before 0600 on 5950 via WYFR (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U K [non]. 7305, Sept 13 at 0528, BBC chimes under DRM noise, 0529 into
Hausa, and QRDRM continues past 0530, still at 0545. HFCC shows this is no
accident, as two stations think they can share the frequency during this
semihour: BBC Hausa via Ascension, 250 kW, 55 degrees, and RRI English DRM via
Galbeni, 300 kW, 300 degrees to UK (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1570, Sept 13 at 0543 UT, something in English is briefly atop XERF,
promoting an upcoming game on ``Classic Hits 106.3``. Googling leads to KVTK
1570 Vermillion SD, counterpart of KVHT 106.3, which apparently takes overflow
games from 1570`s sports format.
http://www.kvht.com/
Vermillion Ticket & Vermillion Hits the calls must denote. 1570 is supposed to
be 71 watts at night, 500 at day; I wonder which? Poor XERF is not getting the
protexion it deserves from all the US stations which once were banned at night
from 1570. This channel is anything but `clear` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A [non]. 17580, Sept 13 at 1401, Family Radio in S Asian language, but
with very heavy SAH at 264/minute = 4.4 Hz from an equally strong open carrier.
HFCC shows only YFR in Bengali via Wertachtal is supposed to be on here now,
altho MBR tried Issoudun instead from July 5 to 8. Maybe Issoudun forgot to
keep the transmitter off now? Or YFR via Ascension in English which is not
supposed to start until 1500 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. Correxion to yesterday`s unID: 9889.0-SSB, NOT 9989.0-SSB: Sept
12 at 1234, 2-way in Spanish, suffering from 9890 Thailand het, (and SSB QRM to
it), plus 9885 VOA Spanish splash (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

BRAZIL - 4865.02, tentatively R Alvorada, Londrina:? my previous unid from
July, heard much better today, is definitely a Brazilian (was hoping Logos!) .
. . .? Noted poor to fair signal again this morning, 9/13,? from 0946-0957with
very under-modulated signal and usual pgm of OM narrating or preaching in
lengthy monologue, punctuated by bursts of orchestral or hymn-like music.? At
this point, still unreadable insofar as useful pgm detail, even land (SS or
PP?)?? But with 60 meters staying alive later now, with the impending Fall, was
able to recheck at 1020.? Still there and with a? signal had peaked
substantially.? Much more readable, tho still low modulation.? 100 pct clearly
PP and t/cks matching Brazil, also.? At this time, a studio news magazine
program was in progress, with phone-ins from listeners and live reports from
remote correspondents.?? Still good at 1035 but still no clear ID.? Anticipate
most likely will be the familiar R
Alvorada, Londrina, although must be aware that there were also reports
(confirmed?) in June out of Europe of a R Verdes Florestas, Cruz do Sul, on
this same fqy.? (Perry - Illinois)
ANDES BANDSCAN -? Hurray, finally a relatively decent opening into the Andes on
60 meters this morning, 9/13, hopefully signalling the start to a nice LA DX
season for us in the USA.? 5039.18 R. Libertad de Junin, Peru, with fair to
good QSA at 1036, deejay talking over mellow musical background.? 4814.98 R El
Buen Pastor with a nice signal at 1049 tune-bay, fetching sanjuanito in
progress.? 4789++ presumed R Vision, Chiclayo, decent signal but het and QRM
underneath ute at 1051.? Didn't notice other usual suspects like R Tarma or R
Huanta 2000, which were my 'markers' for decent Andes openings last winter . .
. Already making plans for tomorrow morning and lining up better OA/HC/CP
targets!? (Perry - Illinois)

Thomson Broadcast Puts Shortwave on FM
on 09.12.2011
http://www.radioworld.com/article/thomson-broadcast-puts-shortwave-on-fm/24336
inShare
print rss ShareThis
Shortwave is an efficient technology for delivering programming to a wide area
from a single
transmission site, but FM provides higher quality audio and a ready supply of
inexpensive
receivers. At IBC2011, Thomson Broadcast is demonstrating a solution that
bridges the two
technologies, using the DRM30 digital radio standard to distribute programming
for
retransmission on FM.
With the system, a broadcaster originating a DRM30-encoded short-, long- or
medium-wave
signal could take the same over-the-air signal listeners with a DRM receiver
can hear and,
using a DRM-FM transponer, demodulate and transpose it to an FM signal that can
be
picked up by an standard FM receiver, including the sort common in many mobile
phones.
For example, a medium-wave channel with a bandwidth of 9 kHz could be used to
distribute
two DRM30 digital audio programs at a bitrate of up to 14.7 kbps; if the
channel is extended
to 18 kHz, bitrates of up to 26.5 kbps would be possible.
The DRM-FM rebroadcasting transmitter takes the over-the-air DRM30 signal,
decodes the
digital programs and then can retransmit the two services locally on FM.
The system could be used by NGOs or international broadcasters to distribute
programming
to low-power FM stations in remote or wide-spread areas without the need to use
satellite
connections.Standard rig : ICOM R75 / 2x16 V / m@h40 heads Sennheiser
