Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1
** BRAZIL. 9665+, Feb 18 at 0638, gospel rock, 0641 announcement in Portuguese,
S9+18 but undermodulated, deep fades, the SBOB, only other one audible being
weaker Miranda wailing on 9565. No doubt ZYE890, R. Voz Mission?ria, Cambori?
SC, slightly on hi side. MUF did not reach 12 MHz tonight (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake Feb 18: 9980, good at 1423. Vs nothing else audible.
Nothing but WWCR [4] scheduled anywhere anytime on this frequency, but
obviously not on the air at this hour. Can only conclude that Sound of Hope
must have appeared here. No other FD found 7-19 MHz by 1440. 9980 is new, not
in Frodge`s 2011 compilation, nor in Handler`s February restricted list (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PHILIPPINES. 9760, Feb 18 I do not get VOA Tinang-2 checked earlier than
1513 when it manages to stay on the air and also modulate! During `New Dynamic
English`, ``you look like a pumpkin`` in dialog about color-blindness at 1514.
I am gratified that English-learners now know how to say that! Still no
dropoffs by 1515 tuneout (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** RUSSIA. 6075, Feb 18 at 0648, the hi-latitude paths are back in business as
I can already hear music under Vatican, no doubt R. Rossii, Pet/Kam, confirmed
by // much stronger 7320 but not exactly synchronized: 7320 is ahead by about
one second. At 0652 a weak and fluttery Russian is also on 7230, as what sounds
like a timesignal goes by at strange 0655; maybe a sound-effect. At 0711 it`s
easier to tell during Russian news that 7230 is also // but a bit behind 7320.
Aoki shows sites and I add the sunset times today per gaisma.com:
6075, Petropavlovsk/Kamchatskiy, 0643
7230, Yakutsk, 0813 [listed under J-]
7320, Magadan, 0657
One must subtract one hour more than shown for the zones since they are all on
DST (and will stay on DST unless Putin can be convinced to retract his
always-DST fiat).
This map http://www.timeanddate.com/time/map/
shows the entire eastern end of Siberia as on UT +12
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 9980, Feb 18 at 1515, Brother Scare in a lather with
live Saturday revival provoking mass insanity amongst his psychophants, as WWCR
starts for him at 1500 Saturday instead of 1700 weekdays, when other gospel
huxters have been running on 11580 instead. I find that 9980 is synchro
(almost, to a slight reverb) with 9385 WWRB, but both are about (only!) 5
seconds behind new 9990 WTWW-2 now devoted to Brother Scare as well. If we can
hear him first blasting in on WTWW, who needs the others?
Also sufficient signal via 15420v-CUSB WBCQ as on Saturdays only. Delay/offset
not checked on that nor much weaker 15190 via ROMANIA which is also extended
past 1500 as usual on Saturdays only [must check again Sunday after 15 to try
to determine who`s on then]. Three more frequencies are supposedly on daily
after 1500 per the TOM schedule, 9460, 13810 and 17580, i.e. GERMANY, not
checked but often barely audible here if at all, a blessing.
Investigating further on the BS tests coming up Feb 20-21 (Mon-Tue) at 14-17 on
15750, 18-21 on 7590: tho Spaceline was represented at HFCC B-11 Dallas, their
Saturday-only 18-21 DRM broadcast on 7590 is not in current HFCC B-11. SPC is
however shown via ARMENIA i.a. on 7550 at 18-22, and 15780 at 12-17, from which
changes apparently have never been entered (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** SPAIN. 15100.6 and 15119.4, Feb 17 at 2105, spurs from very strong REE
Noblejas 15110; frequencies waver slightly, and there is plenty of modulation
upon each of them. Who needs 15110? Much weaker ones further out matching
around 15091, 15129. These defects are rather like what we get from WEWN
English on 15610, etc.; wonder if the same model transmitter? (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENIING DIGEST)
** U K [non]. It`s Saturday, so BBCWS in English is showing up on extra
frequencies thanks to stupid ballgames: 15510, Feb 18 at 1506 going from news
to `Sportsworld`, good signal where there is normally none, but fluttery. WRTH
and HFCC show 15510 at 15-16 is Saturday only in Somali via CYPRUS, but this is
no Somali! Then at 1529 // on weaker 13825, ACI`d by the Cuban radio war, ditto
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 7811-USB, UT Sat Feb 17 at 0644, AFN is amid sports talk promoting
gambling, ahem, ``sports-investing``, instead of Jim Hightower, who apparently
appears UT Mon-Fri only at this unscheduled biminute (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 7555, Feb 17 at 0645, R. Cat?lica Mundial reinforces my contention
that the odds are high that any random tuneby will produce that unxuous ``By
the Light of the Moon`` announcer intoning ``por su dolorosa pasi?n``,
alternating with caller mumbling whatever the required response to that be
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1604: remaining SW airtimes this weekend are: Sat
1830, Sun 0900, 1630, 1830 on 9955 WRMI; UT Sun 0500 on 5755 WTWW (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 9889-SSB, Feb 18 at 1425, intruder, colloquial Spanish 2-way,
with het from weak 9890 broadcast carrier, QRM from remnant Cuban jamming
centred on 9885 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 24940-USB, Feb 18 at 1443-1448+ languid ham QSO about antennas
but only one side heard in English with an accent I couldn`t place, and nary an
ID. Just about the OSOB in the voice portion of 12m, and MUF barely cooperates
as 10m is dead. It`s looking like this cycle`s solar max has passed and we are
on the way down, with fluxes barely exceeding 100 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

RNZI Airs New Radio
Heritage Documentary
Australian Radio
90 Years Ago in 1922
____________________
Join us from Monday, February 20 2012 to enter the fascinating world
of Australian radio broadcasting in 1922 on the Mailbox program from
Radio New Zealand International.
For 20 years, Australian radio amateurs had the right to broadcast
local music and other programs on the standard mediumwave radio dial,
sharing frequencies with licenced commercial radio stations in the
evenings and on Sunday mornings.
You can listen directly via shortwave radio from RNZI in New Zealand,
or audio on demand [for the following month] with full details of
current broadcast frequencies [both DRM and analog] and times
possible for your area as well as audio downloads at www.rnzi.com.
In the years between 1921 and 1922, over 50 local radio stations were
broadcasting in Australia, all run by local radio amateurs.
Some of these operations were very sophisticated for their time,
broadcasting for nearly 10 hours each week and operators soon going
on to help establish the ABC and commercial radio stations.
2CM Sydney was the first station with 3ME Melbourne, 4CM Brisbane,
and 5BG Adelaide also amongst the early starters.
In the program, you'll hear more about these stations and the
pioneers such as Charles MacLurcan, Ray Allsop, Harry Douglas, Sydney
Neuman, Thomas Elliott and others.
You'll also hear some of the music played by these early radio
stations, which stayed on the air until late 1939 when WWII finally
silenced them.
So join us from Monday, February 20 2012 as we enjoy some early
Australian radio history from 90 years ago on the Mailbox program
from Radio New Zealand International [www.rnzi.com].
You can also use our fully up to date Australian AM & FM Radio Guides
at our global website www.radioheritage.com.
Use our Google Search to find more features about broadcasting in
Australia, including over 50 features about individual stations from
the mid-1940s in the Long Lost Australian Radio Guides series.
