BHUTAN [tentat.] Noted Dec 17 at 1100 UT on 'footprint' 6035.045 kHz, used
a remote receiver unit in Japan, mixed with Viennese Waltz from YNDT PBS
Yunnan Kunming program on nearly even 6035 kHz. Nothing noted on 5030v at
that time.

BHUTAN. 6035, BBS (tentative), 1258, Dec 16 with two stations
mixing together; stronger station at ToH with pips and clear ?This is
the Voice of Shangri-La brought to you by Yunnan Radio?; two station
continue mixing; both in talk; 1303 tuned away; checked at 1337 to
find only Yunnan. Another early sign off again.
Received the following email in response to assume my Dec 13
reception report sent for 6035.
Dear Sir,
I got your reception report about our short wave transmission. Thank
you for the your kind report. We are broadcasting alternatively on 100
kw and 50 kw short wave transmitter.
Our transmission starts from 0:00 to 14:00 Hours GMT in different
languages.
Thanking you
Thinley Dorji
Transmission head
Thimphu, Bhutan
Therefore I assume 6035 on Dec 13 was 100 kW, off the air Dec 14,
Dec 15 was 50 kW and today 100 kW?
5030.0, BBS (presumed), 1244, Dec 16. Testing their transmitter here;
no audio just strong open carrier; believe they were alternating between
running full power and reduced power as the signal strength continually
changed. Carrier not heard later after 1300 UT.
(Ron Howard, Asilomar State Beach, CA, Et?n E1, dxldyg via DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
BHUTAN was using their old 30 kW txer on 6035.048 kHz on the 15th from
around tune in 1050 UT till 1500 s. off. They had used the newer 100 kW on
5030 kHz at the same time. An AIR enginner is in Bhutan, training the
technicians and also making repairs to the transmitters. At 0125 UT also
heard on 6035 kHz. Good luck guys.
Bhutan is still on test basis on 5030 // 6035.48 kHz, Dec 17. Last night
they had audio on 6035.48 kHz but badly beating with VOShangri-la, but
5030 kHz had only open carrier throughout closing around 1300 UT, Dec 16.

** CHINA. Firedrake search Dec 17: still nothing found, 7-19 MHz between 1350
and 1359; and 19-7 MHz between 1455 and 1500. Propagation conditions are
certainly subnormal, judging from generally weak signals, especially E Asia
above 10 MHz.
However, tnx to several (Leonard J Rooney in PA, Noel Green in UK, Chris Scarff
in NE, Julie Murphy in NSW), who replied that they are still hearing some
Firedrake at various times on previously known frequencies, but mostly in the
09-12 UT period rather than my favorite morning monitoring time of 13-15.
Except Julie Murphy in NSW who also logged FD Dec 16 before 1400 on 15900,
16100, same time as I was checking those frequencies without results. Leonard
Rooney also heard some before and after 00 UT Dec 15-16 on 13850, 11500. Their
full reports will be integrated into the next DXLD 11-51 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** EGYPT. 15160, Dec 17 at 1458 past 1500, open carrier; at 1501 some
modulation starts but it`s very distorted, on peaks only. Listed as R. Cairo in
Ozbaki = Uzbek at 1500-1600, 250 kW, 61 degrees from Abis to CIRAF 30 = W Asia
(often referred to as Central Asia, even tho it`s much closer to the Urals than
to the middle of the continent around Mongolia) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** ISRAEL. 13850, Dec 17 at 1458, IBA IS weakly audible aside 13845 WWCR, so
the Persian service at 1500-1630 is still here while // 15760 was to have
switched to 9985, also too close to WWCR (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KOREA NORTH [non]. 6135, Dec 17 at 1348, Shiokaze via JSR Tokyo/Yamata,
JAPAN hasn`t jumped frequency yet, distinctive news sounder, tho poor signal,
seems Korean language today (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MAURITANIA. 7245, Dec 17 at 0611, IGIM already on with chanting (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** RUSSIA [and non]. 9670-9675-9680, Dec 17 at 1405, DRM noise also interfering
with 9860 analog. It`s VOR at 13-18, 100 kW, 260 degrees from Moskva-Taldom
site, the first two hours with double service in English and Russian, per Aoki.
Strong enough to be a nuisance, not strong enough to decode here, I expect.
9680 bothered by the noise, but apparently open or barely-modulated carrier.
Could be another RRI breakdown, but Taiwan/Chinese jamming are also here, and
HFCC shows NHK Yamata on 9680 at 14-16, apparently wooden, not in Aoki or EiBi
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 15700, Dec 17 at 1507, open carrier, off a few minutes later.
HFCC has something `new` registered this hour for WRN due south via KCH =
Pridnestrovye, but probably not in effect. More likely R. Bulgaria tune-up
prior to its 1600 broadcast on 15700, during a break after the 1500 broadcast
on 15600 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

While all correct reports are appreciated and will be QSLed, please don`t use
remote receivers to pick up Greenville. They need to hear from direct
listeners, especially in Europe, Africa and Latin America, and it`s certainly
possible to hear Greenville direct anywhere in the world. See schedule link

Inside a 1938 Remote Broadcast Van
by John Schneider
on 12.15.2011
http://www.rwonline.com/article/inside-a--remote-broadcast-van/50869
Here are two views of WWJ?s elaborate remote broadcast truck in 1938.
The lettering on the exterior of the vehicle shows the Detroit News radio
station?s 960 AM
frequency as well as W8XWJ, the call sign for WWJ?s early ultra-high frequency
high-fidelity
AM "Apex" station, which operated on 41,000 kHz.
The interior view shows a shortwave transmitter on the left, with the W8XWJ
call sign on the
microphone. The nameplate at the bottom says "The Detroit News Radio
Transmitter -
Power Output: 100 Watts - Freq. Range 1,500 - 50,000 kc. - Designed and built
by the
staff of WWJ-W8XWJ."
(click thumbnail)
Photos from the Detroit News Archives
(click thumbnail)
Elsewhere in the vehicle we can see a number of National HRO, Hallicrafters and
Collins
shortwave receivers.
The wooden cabinet on the right rear is an especially interesting device. It?s
a Finch radio
facsimile printer, which could be used to receive news bulletins and
photographs transmitted
by the W8XWJ. (WWJ was one of the stations that experimented with facsimile
broadcasting
in the late ?30s.)
These photos are from the Detroit News Archives.Standard rig : ICOM R75 / 2x16

Frequency for Human Rights!
By Mok Yong Jae
[2011-12-17 17:13 ]
http://www.dailynk.com/english/read.php?cataId=nk00100&num=8546
Calls have again been made for civilian short-wave broadcasters focusing on
North Korea
issues to be allocated frequency in South Korea for the purpose of enhancing
efforts to
improve North Korean human rights.
A senior researcher with the Hansun Foundation for Freedom and Happiness, Lee
Young
Hwan told a conference for political, religious and other social organizations
to discuss new
policies regarding North Korea, "We need to come up with a real plan regarding
unification
and diplomacy that will actually do something for the human rights of our
brethren in North
Korea."
Lee went on, "Those currently broadcasting on North Korean issues in this
country have
never been assigned a frequency, and as such they rent frequency abroad,"
before
emphasising, "We need to make it so that these civilian broadcasters on North
Korea actually
have a frequency to use."
He also spoke of the need to "Overcome difficulty and be patient in pursuing
liberation of
broadcasting in both countries, and finding a route for the peoples of North
and South Korea
alike to be able to freely listen to whichever broadcasts they choose."
The conference was attended by people from all sectors of society, including
left- and right-
wing politicians, representatives of Christian and Buddhist groups and other
social
organizations, all gathering together to discuss the direction of future
unification policy.
The standing president of the KCRC, Kim Deok Ryong said in his opening address,
"Conservative and progressive sides of politics both have the same objectives
when it comes
down to it. We are all here to search out a new paradigm for the continuing and
forward-
looking direction of North Korea and unification policy through rational
discussions and
debate."
Below is a summary of some of the other highlights of the conference.
? Choi Dae Seok (Chief Researcher, Institute for Unification Studies, Ehwa
Women?s
University)
"A large problem is that the stance of principled engagement completely
collapsed starting
with the Kim Dae Jung administration, while the current government has lost the
momentum
created from several decades of policy through its overemphasis on unbending
principles. In
creating a position of principled engagement, the most important thing is to
balance what is in
the best interests of the Korean people with those of the state.
In the short term a stance of principled engagement means expanding
inter-Korean
exchanges through humanitarian aid and other means, while in the medium to
long-term we
must work to exert continuous pressure on the nuclear issue and other problems
affecting
relations between our two countries."
? Park Joo Seon (Democratic Party National Assembly lawmaker)
"China has been consistent over the last ten years in its support for Korea?s
`Sunshine Policy?
and policy of engagement towards North Korea. China?s support allowed South
Korea to
wield further influence in the US-ROK alliance, relations with North Korea and
at the Six Party
Talks. There is a need for a sophisticated and creative effort to convince
China to support
our policy initiatives."
? In Myeong Jin (Priest, Galilee Church)
"The next two to three years are a crucial time in inter-Korean relations. For
this reason the
Lee Myung Bak administration must work to establish an environment in which it
can achieve
some sort of `grand bargain? before it is too late. The environment could be
created by
normalizing humanitarian aid, restarting tourism to Mt Geumgang and abolishing
the May 24
Measure. If trust between the two Koreas can be built up through these
initiatives a grand
bargain will be possible." Standard rig : ICOM R75 / 2x16 V / m@h40 heads

** ANGUILLA. 11775, altho it was on earlier Dec 17, Caribbean Beacon is gone at
2224 check, after nominal switch to night frequency 6090, but it too remains
missing. See NIGERIA, BRAZIL (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. 6090v, Dec 17 at 2308, after NIGERIA [q.v.] has closed in the
absence of ANGUILLA [q.v.], very poor signal left sounds Brazilian, and then I
am barely able to // it to equally vp signal on 9645v, i.e. R. Bandeirantes.
Other // 11925v not propagating or not on (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING

** CHINA. Finally some Firedrake audible here, Dec 17 before 2400 UT:
14700, very poor at 2348, with CCI?
14970, good at 2348
16100, very good at 2349; none above or below these frequencies
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CYPRUS. 6135, Dec 17 at 2235, good signal with `ME` music, no announcements.
Only QRM a bit o` bonker on the lo side which was evitable by tuning to the hi
side. Only when it cut off abruptly at 2244* did it occur to me that it`s
probably CyBC, scheduled 2215-2245 on Fri/Sat/Sun, but I didn`t realize 6135 is
their B-11 channel on 49m. It was 6180 last B-season and 5925 in A-11. 6135 is
250 kW, 314 degrees to W Europe and hence USward too from the BaBcoCk Zyyi
site, same as // 7220 and 9760. HFCC doesn`t distinguish between this and BBC
relays except for listing language as Greek (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING

** NIGERIA. 6090, Dec 17 at 2225, since ANGUILLA [q.v.] is missing, what else
can we hear? Sounds like a TAL [tonal African language], such as Hausa as
scheduled from FRCN Kaduna; also rumble QRM from something else and lite het;
bits of singing mixed in, off at 2300* apparently uncovering BRAZIL, q.v.
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 89.5, the stereo open carrier all day is still being heard, altho
seemingly not as strong as initially, when one drives around the western half
of Enid. And after dark, still playing Xmas-rock tunes, presumably to accompany
a flashing light show at some residence.
Saturday afternoon, Dec 17 I decide to spend some time trying to find it by
DF/strength before the music and lights start. Still get it best circa
intersexion of Oakwood and Chestnut, but unless I spend a lot more time to
drive more streets in the neighborhood, or get some other tip, it will remain
unfound.
I also drove out to the house on Pheasant Run which was doing this last
December on 99.7. He`s set up again this year, but the sign in lights, almost
invisible in daylight, now says ``TUNE TO 99.9``. I did, and he is also leaving
his stereo carrier on all day, when I was there at 2120 UT, but this one is
really Part 15, losing out by only 100 meters away. It`s at the extreme western
edge of inhabited Enid in a development of expensive ticky-tacky, while the
unfound 89.5 must be further east in west-central Enid.
Of course, I don`t expect anyone further to be able to DX either one, but this
is an example of what others could find in their own towns at yearend (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SPAIN. 6055, VG signal Dec 17 at 2356, REE is concluding French hour with
music, sign-off giving 6055 and 5970 (the latter Sat/Sun only) interrupted by
IADs; 2358 IS, 0000 Dec 18 sign-on by Justin Coe in English but then right into
``no s?lo hablamos espa?ol`` promo, and then music without IADs. At least they
are modulating this time instead of almost two hours of dead air as previously
logged (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TURKEY. 5960, sufficient, Dec 17 at 2316 I tune to VOT as it`s an on-week
for the fortnightly `DX Corner`, but Sheref Isler is reading a script about
Mevlana, who apparently died on this date, mentioning whirling dervishes. It
seems there is a W.D. festival each year at this time. I subsequently learned
much more about that by Googling, topped by this from a commercial tour
promotion site
http://www.istanbullife.org/whirling-dervish-sufi-ceremonies-in-silivrikapi.html
``Known to the west as Whirling Dervishes, the Mevlevi Order was founded by
Mevlana Rumi in the 13th century. The Order wrote of tolerance, forgiveness,
and enlightenment. They survive today as a cultural brotherhood. They are not
theatrical spectacles but sacred rituals. The ritual of the Mevlevi sect, known
as the sema, is a serious religious ritual performed by Muslim priests in a
prayer trance to Allah. Mevlevi believed that during the sema the soul was
released from earthly ties, and able to freely and jubilantly commune with the
divine. Dervish literally means "doorway" and is thought to be an entrance from
this material world to the spiritual, heavenly world. The Whirling Dervishes
played an important part in the evolution of Ottoman high culture.
>From the fourteenth to the twentieth century, their impact on classical
>poetry, calligraphy and visual arts was profound. Rumi and his followers
>integrated music into their rituals as an article of faith. Rumi emphasized
>that music uplifts our spirit to realms above, and we hear the tunes of the
>Gates of Paradise.``
This lasted until 2322:30, then the familiar `DX Corner` theme and YL (mumbles
name, Gemma?) says this will be a ``short program due to time limitations``,
presumably the preceding special, but it turned out to 15+ minutes. For those
of us who keep up with radio-related press, it`s mostly familiar stuff: EDXC
Conference with DSWCI AGM to be in Germany; world`s first reception report, an
Adrian Peterson item lifted from Wavescan; 2330 NASA internet radio station;
Steve Wozniak, WA6BND, interviewed 14 Dec on BBCR4 Today program, and on
demand; new Philippine radio station on 864 kHz; ham balloon, K6RPT-11 on
144.390 MHz crossing the Atlantic from California; Bhutan back on 6035 after 2+
years; Radio Seagull, 1395, heard in Canada by Allan Willie; DXpedition from
Jan 29 on a beach in El Salvador listing a bunch of German ham calls, to
activate a rare prefix, see http://www.hu2dx.de/
Some of the items were credited to Southgate and you`ll find them via
http://www.southgatearc.org/ Some of those surely came from Media Network, also
quoted by Southgate, such as the Philippines item,
http://blogs.rnw.nl/medianetwork/philippines-new-radio-station-opens-in-puerto-princesa
which was credited only to MN`s source, the Philippine Information Agency.
Wrapped up and into music fill at 2338 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 7490, Dec 17 at 2230, WBCQ is on again this Saturday with gospel rock
on `I Sing Radio`, and with heavy QRM de BBCWS Thailand in English, as I have
repeatedly had to report to no avail. Recheck at 2345, same QRM situation
during the 22-24 BBC transmission. Meanwhile, a nice clear frequency nearby,
7505 goes vacant, tied up by imaginary WRNO, off the air for over a year (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1595: is scheduled to appear this week on Area 51, on
WBCQ 5110v-CUSB, says http://www.worldmicroscope.com/ UT Monday Dec 19 at 0330,
following Larry Will`s `Free Radio` live show at 0300. Also on WTWW 5755, UT
Sunday 0500; on WRMI 9955, Sunday 0900, 1630, 1830, Monday 1230. On WRN via
SiriusXM Channel 120, Sunday 0930 and 1830 UT (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. Pirates, presumably North American: 6924.9 AM, Dec 17 at 2312
music with a heavy beat, but I decide to go with Turkey q.v. as the DX program
is about to start. When it ended at 2339, 6924.9 was off.
6950.0-SSB, Dec 17 at 2340, Xmas stories and music to tune of Jingle Bells.
Next check at 2352, this one is off. Some weak SSB on 6945 then appears to be
2-way, with pauses (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

QSL comes 106 days after follow-up report.
I have to admit a certain amount of disappointment and confusion with
the Channel Africa QSL. They have always been listed in WRTH as having
a QSL card. Not only did they not verify, but the report was
eventually just passed on to Sentech, the national transmitter owner who
QSL'ed with a letter. Sentech has always been represented in the WRTH
as having a QSL card as well. This holds true for the new 2012 edition.
When was the last time anyone has received a QSL card directly from
Channel Africa? When was the last time anyone has ever received a QSL
card from Sentech? Inquring minds want to know!

Hi Tony,
Thanks for your info. It would seem time to update the WRTH listings to
reflect that Channel Africa does not QSL direct, and that Sentech only
replies with a letter these days. Sikander Hoosen is also HF Coverage
and Planning, so I surmise he may be replacing Kathy Otto.
At the end of the day, a QSL is still a QSL, so I know I should be
grateful that I receved even this.
