Congratulations to those who have brought up this idea and, more
importantly, have promoted it until establishment of the International Day
of Radio, which now is February 13th.
I think this initially goes back to an initiative held by Venezuelan
DXers, who started an appeal to entitle "The Shortwave Broadcasts" as
Intangible Cultural Heritage matter. Supporters were asked to sign a
petition, which then was presented to the UNESCO meeting in Caracas, in
June this year.
Now, this really would be something for all the international DX
organizations to jump on and get prepared for some appropriate activities,
possibly (hopefully) jointly with the broadcasters. As for me I have
forwarded this to the EDXC, European DX Council, to seek for promotion.

Message-ID: <[email protected]>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed
CHILE, CVC Voz Cristiana, 17680, f/d Transmitter Site card in 63 days
for Spanish airmail report and US $5.00, to Santiago, Chile address.
Card is completely in English and posted from Chile, although sporting a
US return address. This is a very nice card on good stock, with about
six different views of the tx facilities and antennas. No v/s.
CHILE, HCJB (via CVC) 11920, f/d Young Listeners card in 66 days for
Spanish report via airmail with US $3.00 return postage. I reported on
a Portuguese program. V/s is Horst Rosiak. Also received a German
newsletter and personal message from Iris Rauscher thanking me for my
report and stating that the Portuguese and German services were
purchasing time on CVC since their "shortwave antennas" closed in
November of 2009. eMail is deutsch(at)andenstimme(dot)org. The QSL
came from Ecuador with some beautiful postage stamps depicting the
Galapagos Islands on the envelope. My grand niece and nephew appreciate
the stamps!
GERMANY, DCF77 Mainflingen, 77.5 kHz, Heard on a recent business trip to
Zurich, Switzerland. Date/frequency Antenna mast and clock card in 13
days for German report and 1 IRC via airmail. V/s Dr. Andreas Bauch.
When Dr. Bauch initially received my report, there ensued a rather
entertaining email correspondence in which he expressed his "amusement"
that DX'ers even bother to send reports and collect QSLs, and saying
that my eMail address was not very personal.. It was interesting trying
to explain my version of one of the more interesting facets of this
hobby, and about the old Army Security Agency, from where my email
originates. He turned out to be an alright guy and sent a very nice
brochure as well on the station and other services of the PTS.
GREECE, Olympia Radio SVO, 8424, f/d A4-sized certificate in 57 days for
English report and 2 IRCs. V/S "Poulos," Manager of Olympia Radio.
Very nice picture set on the certificate and also sent a second
certificate on a heavier stock blue paper.
SWITZERLAND, HBG Prangins, 75 kHz, Heard on a recent business trip to
Zurich, Switzerland. Date/frequency antenna masts card in 12 days for
German report and 1 IRC via airmail. V/s Christian Schlunegger.
For those who are not yet aware, HBG will be shut down at the end of
December 31 2011, and it is expected that DCF77 will pick up the slack
for time and frequency purposes. I received a full data sheet from HBG
in German concerning the shutdown. Reading between the lines, it would
appear that the operating costs are just too expensive and the range is
not as great as DCF77. If you have the opportunity to hear this
station before it's time is up, you should get their QSL. It is a very
nice design, and soon another Grande Dame behemoth of VLF will leave us
forever. There is no indication what will become of the transmission site.

Prangins Switzerland site contains a lot of Swiss UTE broadcasting
facilities too {probably tx site for Berne Maritime Radio too?}, since 1945
when United Nations founded, and did broadcast refugee transmissions from
UNO Geneve after WW II, as well as UN Radio news in Russian in the
50ties {latter see old WRTH's under UN Radio/Switzerland}.
Next to the two longwave masts, some antenna installation is visible around
the TX house. To count

** CHINA. Firedrake Nov 5, a dozen at once before 1400:
16700, very good at 1340; none higher
16100, fair at 1341
15760, fair at 1340
14700, good at 1343
13970, poor at 1344
13625, fair at 1344; vs RFA in Tibetan via Tinian
13130, fair at 1343
12600, good at 1345
12230, good at 1345
11500, very poor at 1346
10300, poor at 1347
7970, very poor at 1347
After 1400:
15565, fair at 1409; only Family Radio in Oriya to India from Germany is
scheduled here; presumably V of Tibet via Tajikistan jumped up to within 3 kHz
of here from 15557 as in Aoki
11500, very poor at 1414
CNR1 jamming, some of it with echo, Nov 5 at 1418 on 9825, 9785, both vs VOA
Chinese via Philippines, and also on 9450, vs. Sound of Hope, 100 kW via
Paochung, Taiwan.
Like a spoiled Child, the ChiCom try to yell so loud they cannot hear what
their elders are trying to say to them. (Elders in the sense of far beyond them
in political development.)
9395, Nov 5 at 1421, sounds like same YL speaking as on CNR1 9825, 9785 and
9450 jammers, but not //, or maybe far out of synch. Nothing listed here as
legitimate or target (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also TIBET
[non].
** FRANCE. 9765, Nov 5 at 0600, RFI news in English, good on this Saturday, so
back in business after a strike the night before. Used to hearing NZ, but now
their 9765 does not start until 0759. RFI is 500 kW, 170 degrees from Issoudun
at 06-07 daily (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDIA. 9690, Nov 5 at 1419 some music, some hum marking it immediately as
AIR GOS (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KUWAIT. 15540, Nov 5 at 1830 western pop music stops and news in English
starts, no doubt R. Kuwait, but only poor signal and fading; just about gone by
1850. And yes, they were *still* on 21540 colliding with Spain earlier today
around 1330-1400+ (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. After visiting the Enid Hamfest, a late turn-on of TV and computer
Nov 5 found analog sporadic-E opening in progress at 1940 UT, peaking from the
SW, several signals mixing on channel 2, also poking into ch 3 at times with
less QRM. Briefly a bit of audio on 2 was in Spanish mentioning today`s date.
In and out, but on 2 at 2000 could recognize the XHI-TV bug in the upper right
from Ciudad Obreg?n, Sonora. Not much seen after that (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** NIGERIA. 15120, Nov 5 at 1850, unstable carrier, drumming and drama, hum,
some CCI, and ACI from 15125 REE/COSTA RICA. No doubt V. of Nigeria, which we
often hear much better around 0500. Gone at 1900 which is just as well as 15120
was then getting a double whammy with REE direct also splattering from 15110
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PHILIPPINES. 15190, Nov 5 at 1825, poor signal with song, 1828 sounds like
Tagalog by YL, so presumed R Pilipinas; the only question was whether this
would turn out to be Brazilian. Not heard after 1930 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** POLAND [non]. Have been intending to confirm whether PRES really resumed
broadcasting to North America in B-11, and finally got around to it today
Saturday Nov 5:
*2159:30 on 15260, carrier on and one RCI IS, a bit of piano music, and sign-on
IDs in Polish and English. 7330 also on now, much weaker and not exactly
synchronized. 2201 church organ and then hymn (anthem?) by a M soloist, 2204
into mass. Obviously there is no separation of church and state in Poland.
Presumably on weekdays the programming is more secular.
This is a new one-hour broadcast on 15260, daily at 22-23, 250 kW, 285 degrees
from Sackville, and on 7330, 250 kW, almost the same azimuth, 282 degrees from
Woofferton UK, presumably to fill in the skip zone around Sackville.
Unfortunately the Poles will not condescend to send us their already-produced
broadcasts in English, a slightly more useful language in North America, altho
no station can be faulted for also reaching out to its diaspora (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** RUSSIA [non]. 9360, Nov 5 at 1329 organ music, 1330 Russian announcement
mixed with more organ music. Is R. Liberty via SAIPAN at 12-14 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SPAIN [and non]. 5965 via COSTA RICA, Saturday Nov 5 at 0605, `Amigos de la
Onda Corta` is starting, so it too has this season made a 1-UT-hour-later
timeshift. Best here, also audible on 11895 direct (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** TAIWAN [non]. 6875 via WYFR, Nov 5 at 0608, RTI is once again in German
instead of scheduled Spanish. Maybe the Mennonites in Mexico where it`s
midnight in Chihuahua talked them into making this strange change on the 285
degree antenna? But it`s High altho Chinesish, not Low (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** TIBET [non]. 15375, Nov 5 at 1337, noise jamming vs something, no doubt R.
Free Asia in Tibetan via TAJIKISTAN.
15420, Nov 5 at 1338 heavy noise jamming (or is it DRM? None listed), atop
something. Maybe V. of Tibet jumped to around here instead of 15433 as in Aoki.
Tough luck for BBCWS in English via Seychelles also on 15420 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also CHINA
** U S A. 660, Nov 5 at 1300 after some C&W music, missed ID but now CNN News
about death at 92y of Andy Rooney, CBS, RIP. 1305 fade during another ID but
after some more country music, English announcement and then into another
language, sure sounded like Navajo as CCI grew. Altho this was looping
east-west, I had been dismissing KTNN Window Rock AZ/NM as a possibility since
it`s half a sesquihour before sunrise there and they should still be nulling
toward WFAN and me. Official November sunrise is 1345 UT, December 1415,
January 1430. (i.e. 7:45 am MDT Nov 5, 6:45 am MST from Nov 6. Watch out for
many MW stations to power up at wrong time tomorrow.) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. 9990, Nov 5 at 1415, no WTWW-2 on the air yet, but when it
is, it will be encountering something in Vietnamese: here it is, in Aoki, R.
Free Asia via SAIPAN at 14-15. Vs overload from 9980 WWCR. Other 9990 stations
are:
1030-1330 R. Azadi (Free Afghanistan) in Pashto and Dari via Thailand
1500-1757 V. of Korea, (North) in Arabic, English, Arabic
1800-2100 R. Cairo in Hausa
Reminder that WTWW-2 is supposed to be testing with a live Ted Randall call-in
show Saturday afternoon/evening on 9990 or 5085. Still not started at 2215 UT
Nov 5, long after Ted`s QSO show finished at 2000 on WTWW-1 9479, altho it was
probably recorded. Maybe in the evening on 5085? Or postponed (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. 9840, Nov 5 at 1325, wacky farrightwingnut conspiracy
gospel huxter about the Pope, Trilateral Commission and Council on Foreign
Relations; 1327 lo het hits as off-frequency V. of Vietnam is about to start
English after switch from 177 degrees toward Indonesia to 57 degrees USward.
This hour on WHRI is registered Mon-Sat only; at 1417, its daily broadcast is
mixed with Vietnamese music, het during VOV`s Japanese service.
21515-21810 approx., Nov 5 at 1821, the 21630 transmitter of WHRI is slightly
overmodulated on the fundamental, but modulation spur spikes spread to most of
the 13 meter band. Only active frequency to be victimized is 21690 France
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 15620, Nov 5 at 1827, open S9+20 carrier with some hum vs. the
squishy spur on 15619 from WEWN 15610. At 1847 in French about Burundi. 1855 ID
as La Voix de l`Amerique, mentioning a co-station in Bamako. Off after 1900.
VOA uses this frequency quite a lot, ignoring the WEWN problem, but this
semihour is the only one via Greenville per HFCC, which I am inclined to
believe rather than Aoki which says Botswana (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A. 15385.2, Nov 5 at 1831, KJES, robokids with responses in English on
at least S9+25 signal, probably sporadic-E enhanced as I would discover later;
see MEXICO. So strong at 1852 during break for hymn in Spanish that an unusual
spur was barely audible circa 15240. Could match the audio peaks, but not find
one 145 kHz higher on 15530. Off-frequency estimated by comparing to 9385 WWRB
presumed not so off itself (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [non]. 15240, Nov 5 at 1900, African flutes, choral in unknown
language, tho thought I heard some French elements, easily overcoming the KJES
spur heard a few minutes earlier [see U S A]. HFCC shows AWR in Fulfulde, 500
kW, 320 degrees from SOUTH AFRICA at 1900-1930 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A. 15810 & 15825, Nov 5 at 1856, WWCR-1 15825 is still flanked by spurs:
15810 at S9+12, 15825 S9+25+, 15840 S9+8. I had not noticed the disparity in
their strength before. Plenty to register on the meter but not much audio until
I switched to SSB (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ZAMBIA [and non]. 17695, Nov 5 at 0613, 1Africa is propagating altho poorly,
hyping phone number, gospel rap. It`s on this new higher band in B-11 at 06-20.
Also heard at 1823 with very good S9+18 signal, interview with musician; much
better than their Miami/Chile 17680 outlet in Spanish, peaking only S9+10 but
just barely modulated at 1904 while 17695 played loud gospel disco; Chile
modulation level OK by 1935 with praise music but interrupted by IADs (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 9570, Nov 5 at 1420, open carrier over something else. Mostly
likely Habana neglected to turn off the CRI relay at 1357; scheduled this hour
is KBS direct in Indonesian, and coming up at 15 is VOA Uzbek via Philippines

Sorry, forget text partly
Next to the two longwave masts, some antenna installation is visible around
the TX house. To count
3x 4-mast horizontal rhombic antennas, most probably in direction of
005/185degr to We&CeAF, 105/285degr to NE/ME/Atlantic,
140/320degr to EaAF/GB-IRL/ISL.
11x revolving horizontal log-periodics.
3x easy dipol masts.
7x vertical cage aerials, non-dir.
1x Communication mast.

Servus, Wolfie!
Thanks for all of this. Beautiful pictures from Google. :-) I guess I
should rephrase to say that I do not know what is to become of the VLF
towers/equipment.
I think Switzerland will always have some involvement in broadcasts,
etc., from a sheer neutrality standpoint, although, IMHO, that can now
be debated since the US government has forced their hand on the banking
secrecy laws. :-(
