What leads you to this conclusion, couldn't it also be the other way
round? Do you have the full story? Did you contact management from both
stations?

As for the usual commercial added by List Admin: order WRTH 2011?? Come

What leads me to that conclusion is the one in Syracuse New York is
licensed by the FCC and the other one isn't licensed by the FCC.
WRVD is an FM belongs to the State University of New York. See here:
http://radio-locator.com/cgi-bin/finder?call=WRVD&band=Both&freq=&freq_exact=Yes&city=&state=&country=&format=&owner_search=starts&owner=&scope=&count=20&is_lic=Y&is_cp=Y&is_unl=Y&is_ful=Y&is_lp=Y&sort=Call&sr=1&sid=
You can also check US mediumwave callsigns at:
http://transition.fcc.gov/mb/audio/amq.html and FM stations at
http://transition.fcc.gov/mb/audio/fmq.html
This constitutes unauthorized use of a callsign. It's clear Voix Divine
just grabbed it because it matches their name. Further, if they are
Part 15 or carrier-current, it may not matter as much, but if they are
genuinely radiating, then they may be in for a rough ride if the FCC's
enforcement branch decides to move in.
I don't think I need to contact anyone at either station after this.
Perhaps a little researching on the web would have yielded the same
answers for you? You will not find a WRVD AM listen int he FCC's
database anywhere in the United States or its territories. No extra
charge for the research lesson, Herr Doktor.

** ALBANIA. Tirana back in English at 0230 on 7420? I wasn`t sure if or when R.
Tirana would put English on 7420 at 0230 UT as I recommended, but tune in at
0238 UT Nov 4 and there is a fair signal in English on 7420, presumably R.
Tirana. Talking about Mediterranean villages, and into music. Modulation sounds
like RT, somewhat muffled. But there is no interference, 10 kHz away from
nearest stations on 7410 and 7430. Please check 7420 before 0255 UT tonight and
report on reception quality where you are. Tnx, (Glenn Hauser, 0244 UT Nov 4,
dxldyg via DX LISTENING DIGEST)
But no replies, too late to reach many quickly. Went off around 0258. Wolfgang
B?schel points out that Hohhot, Inner Mongolia is also on 7420 at this time,
but we never hear anything from it here. Since there`s only one broadcast in
English to NAm left from R. Tirana, we wanted it to be in the evening instead
of 1530 on 13640, when it`s not been propagating well and fewer are able to
listen.
So has 0230 [except UT Mondays] replaced 1530? Apparently: no carrier heard at
1531 Nov 4, tho there are plenty of other signals on 13 MHz. The Albanian hour
at 00-01 should also have moved from 7425 to 7420 due to Chicom QRM, but did
not check that yet (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake Nov 4, before 1230: none found 18-12 MHz. Higher bands
haven`t opened up yet a semihour before sunrise here.
10300, JBA at 1225
Before 1300:
12230, very poor at 1258; none higher
Before 1400:
16100, good at 1354
15565, fair at 1354; presumably 2-3 kHz from a Voice of Tibet jump
14950, good at 1355
13970, fair at 1355
13130, good at 1355
12600, fair at 1354
12230, poor at 1357
10300, good at 1357
Before 1500:
7970, JBA at 1439; checked this since not heard earlier, but not a full rescan
now (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CYPRUS. 18970-18995, Nov 4 at 1440, OTH radar pulses presumed from here.
I`ve yet to hear any broadcaster in B-11 on the 18 MHz band, tho a few are now
registered (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** FRANCE [and non]. 17610, Nov 4 at 1218, news in Spanish with clips in
French, strongly hinting it`s RFI. Yes, new frequency for the 1200-1230
broadcast, 250 kW, 295 degrees via GUIANA FRENCH. If it`s anything like the old
frequency, 15515, it will occasionally stick on the air up to 75 minutes later
with RFI Musique, but 17610 was off today by 1230. (Mike Cooper reports there
was another strike at RFI but scheduled to end at 0600 Nov 4.)
Now also scheduled on 17610 before Spanish is 1130-1200 RFI 500 kW, 270 degrees
from Issoudun, probably M?t?o Marine plus music fill, also still via GUF 13640
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GERMANY [non]. 9810, Nov 4 at 0545, DW has not cut to dead air this time,
amid ``environmental news`` segment on `Living Planet`, sufficient signal here,
but JBA on // 9855, both of course via RWANDA.
We can`t hear about Germany in German, but we can too in French:
17520, Nov 4 at 1230, talk about Allemagne, which is DW at 12-13, 250 kW, due
south from Woofferton, UK (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDIA. 15050, Nov 4 at 1402 and 1432 checks, AIR Sinhala service from
Khampur is again in DRM today, poor signals not likely decodable here. I can
just imagine all the Sinhalese wondering why in the world they are getting this
noise racket instead of nice music normally played. O, they`ll run right out
and buy a DRM receiver? Yeah, sure. AIR should do their DRM testing on some
other out-of-band frequency and leave the analog alone (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** ITALY [non]. 15190, Nov 4 at 1302, IRRS via ROMANIA, sounds like co-channel
QRM from two audios, but it`s really Brother Scare`s standard opening, loud
seemingly unrelated music mixed with pronouncement by some other speaker. 1303
change to only BS talking. Meanwhile at 1302 hit by overload from REE Costa
Rica 15170 coming on late. Monitored again at 1400 to see what would happen on
15190: like yesterday, another carrier break interrupting the BS, at 1400:16*
to *1400:37, why?? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OMAN. 15140, Nov 4 at 1433, R. Sultanate of Oman, news in English with
American accent, about a tropical depression, killings in Syria, Israeli
blockade; 1435 pause for ID as 99.4, jingle, more news. Fair signal, partly
readable; could do with more ooomph in the modulation (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** TAIWAN [non]. 6875, RTI relay via WYFR is totally SNAFU, at least compared
to RTI`s B-11 schedule: Nov 4 at 0552 it`s again in Chinese, not scheduled
English; and after a half-sesquiminute-late 3+1 timesignal ending at 0600:45,
switch to German again! Misprogrammed automation playout?
Or can it be an intentional new schedule? Found RTI`s German website schedule,
but it`s still for summer!
http://german.rti.org.tw/Others/Frequencies.aspx
showing only 19 and 21 UT via Skelton and Issoudun on 6 and 3 MHz. The English
page has an up-to-date SW schedule for that language, but I don`t see one for
their entire output.
0600 UT would be an ideal time for a morning broadcast to Germany and vicinity,
but 6875 is not on WYFR`s 45 degree antenna toward Europe, instead 285 degrees
accounting for the super-signal here in deep North America (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [non]. 9825, Nov 4 at 1310, good signal in English, YL interviewing
the Prime Minister of the Tibetan Government in Exile (who has assumed
political duties from His Holiness the Dalai Lama, now self-restricted to
spiritual stuff only), but with equal or stronger level CCCCI, i.e. CNR1
jamming. So they even jam VOA in English when the subject is Tibet!
Wait, this isn`t VOA English, but scheduled as VOA Chinese, 332 degrees via
Tinang, PHILIPPINES at 12-15 --- I soon found a clear // on 7525, from 1319,
synchronized with 9825. Just a trace of QRM on 7525, which is no doubt jammed
too, but it`s 21 degrees from Tinang, bigsig USward.
Discusses separation of powers; PM mentions several times how well he gets
along with Chinese, such as during his many years at Harvard. It may be the
Chinese *service* but this program goes on and on in English! With the ChiCom
QRM out of the way, I could also hear an undercurrent in Chinese, so maybe the
interviewer is translating someone else`s questions.
At 1329 end of this interview, but she says ``We`ll be right back``; pause and
then break announcements in Chinese including the English phrase ``VOA News
Chinese Edition``, plug iphone apps, 1330 past 1332 still in Chinese only
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1589 monitoring: confirmed on ACB Radio Mainstream
webcast at 0325 UT Friday Nov 4 --- this airs a dozen times 2-hourly from 0100
Fridays, but now makes DST shifts, so from next week will be on even UT hours,
from 0000, or 0200?
http://www.acbradio.org/mainstream
On WWRB, 3195 and still // weaker 5051: SC preacher ran over to 0333:40,
protracted respectful pause until 0335:25 when WOR finally started, upcut
during introduxion. Also on the 3195 webcast, but rechecking that at 0359 it
had already reverted to Bible readings. Rechecking SW, both frequencies stayed
with WOR until its conclusion at 0403:40. By 0404, 5051 cut off the air, and
shortly following, 3195 off too, neither with any ID or sign-off. Checking the
webcast which had carried WOR once again at 0405, it had switched from Bible to
the SC preacher again who was on at 0300! And the alternate WWRB webcast was
running Bible. From next week all this should happen one UT hour later, WORLD
OF RADIO nominally from 0430.
On WRMI, 9955: JBA Nov 4 at 1442 with ACI, and overload from 9980 WWCR. Further
WRMI airings: Sat 0800, 1500, 1730; Sun 0900, 1630, 1830; Mon 1230, 1630, 2230;
Tue & Wed 1630.
On WTWW: UT Sunday 0400 on 5755.
On WBCQ Area 51: UT Monday 0400v on 5110v-CUSB
On WRN via SiriusXM channel 120: Sat 1730, Sunday 0930 and 1830
On Hamburger Lokalradio 5980: Tuesday 1030
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [non]. 7290, Nov 4 at 0550, solo music way under 7295 Algeria via
France, something new. 0552 announcement is sorta Slavic. HFCC shows 05-07, 100
kW, 55 degrees from IBB Lampertheim, GERMANY. Aoki says it`s R. Liberty in
Tatar-Bashkir (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1350-, Nov 4 at 1249 UT, dominant signal is ``Pueblo`s sports
station, Homer 13-50``, with rumbling het. Comparing to adjacent frequencies,
stepping with BFO, this one is definitely off, to the low side.
It`s now KDZA, after a frequency/call swap with 1230, which went on to become
KKPC, on the Colorado Public Radio network. But the original KGHF 1350 Pueblo
was one of my earliest DX catches in 1953-1954 when I started in Santa Rosa NM
on the 1941 AM/SW Philco console with built-in rotatable box loop, still
residing in my Enid attic (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** VIETNAM. 9840, Nov 4 at 1351, English discussion of Vietnam`s musical
heritage, then some of that music. Sufficient signal, 1330-1400, 100 kW 57
degrees from Hanoi-Sontay site per Aoki. If it`s off-frequency, nothing to het
it (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Pacific carrier search before 1300 UT sunrise in Enid, Nov
4, on the DX-398 with internal antenna only, 9 kHz steps with offset BFO for
easily perceptible beats:
>From the northwest at 1240: 774, 792, 1134 (this one oscillating slightly,
>caused by a 1 Hz SAH between two carriers?); and at 1247 on 828.
>From the southwest: 738 is strongest of all at 1238, but no audio, KRMG-740
>Tulsa still a big problem. Presumably Tahiti.
702 at 1246, carrier is more westerly than 738, presumably 2BL, ABC Sydney,
Australia. True bearings from Enid are 232 degrees for Papeete, 256 degrees for
Sydney. These correlate nicely! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 15180, Nov 4 at 1432, huge S9+25 open carrier, and off a few sex
later, meanwhile enough to muscle aside another huge signal from Costa Rica on
15170. What could it be? Only thing capable of that listed on 15180 later is
WHRI, but scheduled only at 22-23. Could also be Greenville on a tune-up-only
frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 17810, Nov 4 at 1256, open carrier with flutter, hi-pitched
continuous tone; 1259 AIR IS, 1300 too poor to tell language. Trouble is, B-11
schedule of AIR at
http://qsl.net/vu2jos/es/Language.htm
shows 17810 via GOA, only at 1115-1215 Tamil, 1215-1245 Telugu, so apparently
an overrun if not something additional unknown?
In HFCC lacking AIR, one finds instead YFR in Telegu [sic] via UAE from 1300,
plus 1400-1500 Tamil. That makes more sense for what I was hearing, except for
the AIR IS --- maybe YFR was playing something similar? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

Your answer gives all what I did not know before. Thank you very much!
As for its value, we appreciate it, of course.
If you had left apart the more emotional aspect, it would have been
perfect. If you did not feel comfortable to give away a bit of your
knowledge and expertise, I would have been happy anyway.
There hasn't been a policy change on this mailing list, all on it is free

Take care, and have fun!

Hello,
Perhaps you should have a look at your own posting and how you could
have written it better. It didn't seem to be very friendly to me. Your
method of questioning was more of a lecture and seemed accusatory. I
will give it the benefit of the doubt now as you seem to have had only a
knowledge quest at hand.
Yes, this is supposed to be a friendly list. Let us keep it as such.

Two New First-Hand Radio Stories
Opening a Radio Station in Peking
& a Mobile Truck Radio in Japan
_________________________________
The Radio Heritage Foundation releases two new features with
first-hand personal stories about early broadcasting in Asia at
www.radioheritage.com.
The first is 'Early Chinese Radio in Peking' and tells how Melvin Bok
left school early to begin building radio sets and eventually ended
up starting a radio station in Peking known as XOMO.
Melvin later went on to work with radio in Shanghai, and his story
has remained untold ever since. It's based on a series of interviews
in Hong Kong shortly before his death.
Today we don't associate private commercial radio with broadcasting
in China, but before 1949, there was a vibrant radio scene in that
sprawling country.
This is documented in another recent feature 'Chinese Radio in the
1930's' also now available from the Radio Heritage Foundation website.
In southern Japan in 1946, an Australian broadcasting truck provided
entertainment for British Commonwealth Occupation Forces.
"This is Station WLKT Miho' is the personal story of Peter Knowlden,
a British RAF serviceman who ended up broadcasting from this small
station at a small airfield.
Based on a series of recent interviews from Vancouver, Peter's story
of how he ended up spinning disks from an Australian station with an
American call-sign in Japan sheds light on the largely undocumented
history of the small number of non-US radio stations that broadcast
at the time.
Both features are well illustrated with rare images and form part of
an ongoing project to document radio heritage across the Asian region.
The Radio Heritage Foundation is a non-profit foundation connecting
radio, popular culture and heritage. The global website is

broadcasting today] and can also choose a favorite feature to

** ALBANIA. After hearing 7420 the night before, I was sure to be listening UT
Nov 5 at 0227 when an open carrier turned into the haunting R. Tirana IS; good
signal S9+22 with flutter, better than Nov 4, and usual modulation not up to
par. Sign-on in English already at 0229:40, 0230 right into news from Albania,
skipping any frequency/schedule announcement, either waiting until it becomes
stable, or not wanting to mention only the two broadcasts which are left.
Reception does not improve during the semihour; 0242 goes to music until
0254:30 closing theme and off at 0255*.
Stephen Wood in Massachusetts was also listening, and reports ``signal very
good with only slight static.`` I am pleased that we now have a clear frequency
with no co- or adjacent-channel interference. So R. Tirana has moved its last
English broadcast to our evening and on a clear frequency. I`m sure they would
like to hear from other listeners how it`s coming in. Signal might be stronger
on 6 MHz band, but more QRM.
Earlier at 0018 UT Nov 5 I checked the Albanian hour, and found it still on
7425, heavy collision from China, and unusable. Hope RT also shifts that to
7420. In Massachusetts, Steve Wood said R. Tirana on 7425 was a huge signal
with no interference from China, UT Nov 3 at 0002-0025+, but that`s certainly
not the case further west (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** IRAN. The bclnews.it B11 schedule archive at
http://www.bclnews.it/b11schedules/voiri.htm
shows this for VIRI in English:
ENGLISH 0130-0227 7230 7365 "Voice of Justice"
1030-1127 21575 21695
1530-1627 13785 15525
1930-2027 6010 6115SIT 7320 11670 15450
But it`s labeled Tentative. Contradicted by HFCC as of Oct 28:
The VOJ broadcast to NAm remains at 0330-0427, the time it changed to early in
the A-11 season, and the frequencies with azimuths are now:
7200, 313 From Sirjan [the lower sideband of which is out-of-band]
7365, 333 from Kamalabad [which is blocked by the DentroCuban Jamming Command
and R. Marti Greenville until 0400 + probable runover of jam. Half of this
broadcast on 11920 in A-11 also had a big collision, with Romania which they
never did anything about despite my in-person notification to Iranian and
Romanian delegates to HFCC Dallas]
The 1030 listings match:
21575, 105 from Kamalabad
21695, 112 from Kamalabad
The 1530 listings match:
13785, 105 from Sirjan
15525, 105 from Kamalabad
1930 has 13670 instead of 11670:
6010, 304 from Kamalabad
6115, 259 from Sitkunai, Lithuania [English but ZRC client not given]
7320, 313 from Sirjan
13670, 211 from Sirjan
15450, 205 from Kamalabad
Confirmation of all of these, especially 0330-0427 is needed. So I checked UT
Nov 5: As expected, no Iran to be heard at 0210 on 7365, just R. Mart? and
jamming; nothing on 7200 or 7230.
At 0330, 7365 is still blocked by the Cuban radio war, but 7200 had Qur`an,
with co-channel QRM underneath. The stronger signal stayed in Arabic past 0333,
while the weaker one sounded like Qur`an, which means the main signal was
SUDAN, its only shortwave frequency, which shouldn`t be bleeding into the
hamband either, but certainly not a wise choice for VIRI.
>From HFCC B-11 schedule, I expected 7365 to open up at 0400 after R. Mart?,
>but I hadn`t noticed a separate one-hour registration for IBB Greenville at
>0400-0500, since it drops power from 250 to 125 kW, why? By 0400, I couldn`t
>hear the other signal under Sudan either, so can`t be positive Voice of
>Justice is really on 7200 and 7365 for IRIB`s only English to North America,
>but both of those definitely need to be somewhere else! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
>LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9990, WTWW-2 testing on the air again, Nov 4 at 2150, tnx to tip from
owner/engineer George McClintock. Huge signal here with SFAW audio same as
9479, and 9990 is also enough to overpower WWV 10000. We`ll see if the FCC get
any complaints from WWV users. I hadn`t heard 9990 at all this week, and George
says it had not been on air for a few days.
The night frequency has been changed to 5085, and it has also tested but I
haven`t heard it. 9990 is available 22 hours a day, except for the two hours a
day WYFR is on 9985 = 0100-0300. 5085 is available 24 hours a day, so except
for the 01-03 segment, WTWW-2 can switch whenever it needs to.
An inauguration broadcast is planned for this Saturday afternoon/evening,
November 5, with DJ Ted Randall live on the air playing oldies and taking
reception reports by phone calls, as he did when WTWW-1 was starting up. (But
do not expect WTWW-2 either to stay with an oldies music format.) Time not
decided, but says he will notify me; anyhow, keep an ear on 9990 after local
noon. Another session like that is expected the following Saturday.
WTWW-3 antenna needs some work, so not running full power on 12105; waiting on
a crew to come in a week or two. George says he has been spending ``26 hours a
day`` at the site fixing up the #2 transmitter, which it turns out had
accumulated a lot of problems in the Seychelles. #3 transmitter acquired from
Guam is in better shape. Now he`s thinking of adding a #4 and #5, but only
after a rest (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
