Special transmissions of DDH47 (147,3 kHz) to commemorate the Titanic
desaster.
Details (in German)
http://www.dwd.de/presse
(via Jurgen Bartels Suellwarden, N. Germany, April 12)
Press release
from: 4/12/2012, German Weather Service, Press Office
German Meteorological Service commemorates the sinking of the Titanic in
April 1912.
Special Morse program with the weather radio transmitter Pinneberg.
In April 1912 the British luxury liner RMS Titanic sank in the North
Atlantic after hitting an iceberg. The German Weather Service (DWD) will
remember exactly 100 years after the disaster at this event. On the night of
14 at 15 April 2012 exudes the weather radio transmitter Pinneberg the DWD a
special Morse code program with the sinking of the Titanic made.
For the special broadcast of the weather radio transmitter interrupts his
regular radio program, write to the Maritime and moves to the 1980s to the
usual Morse procedures. On 15 April is initially from 0030 bis 0400 clock
clock at night (2230 UTC on 14 April to 0200 UTC on 15 April) over the
long-wave transmitter Pinneberg DDH47 (147.3 kHz) a release in English.
During the prescribed periods of distress and associated equipment - each
half hour between the 15th and 18 and between the 45th and 48 Minute - the
names of the 1912 sent out of the misfortune involved in radio officers
slower keying. Licensed amateur radio operators can in the time specified by
the sender DDH / DL0SWA the amateur radio group Seewetteramtes of the DWD in
Hamburg take on short-wave contact.
Take advantage of wireless technology for the national meteorological
services.
The national weather services have benefited particularly from the emerging
wireless technology in 1900. For the first time it was possible to transmit
weather information in a timely manner from remote locations over greater
distances. The meteorologists were able to get a comprehensive picture of
large-scale weather conditions and thereby improve their predictions
significantly. These forecasts and warnings were then distributed to radio
stations to the sailors. The special mission of the DWD is therefore also a
reminder of the great benefits that wireless technology has brought.
The task of the weather radio transmitter Pinneberg the DWD, the
meteorological Safety of Navigation. About the stations are distributed
around the clock weather reports and storm warnings for shipping. For this
he has 14 short-wave transmitters with an output of 1 kW to 20 kW for the
transmission of weather data and weather maps. In addition, a 20 kW long
wave transmitter for radio telex, which also takes over the supply of ships
within a radius of about 3.000 kilometers. Achieved via the so-called NAVTEX
system with medium-wave warnings of the National Weather Service ships on
the East or North road. For the research vessels Meteor and North Star is a
separate radio antenna.
Since the 19th Century, scientists upgraded the German Naval Observatory in
Hamburg sea-going ships with meteorological instruments to enable the
captains and officers of the weather conditions were documented during the
trip. The measurements and observations, they were in meteorological
journals. These journals were on the trip back to the Naval Observatory,
where they were systematically evaluated. The published results were highly
regarded climatological descriptions of sea areas. Sailing instructions
contained therein resulted in faster, safer travel - just like the route of
deliberations today.
Captains possessed in 1912 by Iceberg maps of sea areas.
The meteorological situation 100 years ago was not unusual. Ice fields and
icebergs drifted with the Labrador Current to the south over Newfoundland.
Although the recommended steamer routes considered this situation, the ride
was in this area always involves risks.
A sudden fall in water temperature is a clear indication of the approach to
the ice edge. Experienced captains will reduce the ride and keep lookout
strengthened. There are frequent measurements carried out of the water
temperature in order to observe the passage of the danger zone. The cold
water is also often the risk of dense fog.
Also, historical ships' logs from the DWD report on icebergs.
The meteorological journal of the Titanic is unfortunately no longer exist.
In the archives of the German Weather Service in Hamburg, are archived in
the over 37. 000 journals from the time of the German Naval Observatory, but
there are indications of the ice conditions of April 1912. A total of 34
ships report ice and icebergs. The Titanic was the ship but not more help -
they were too far away, too early or too late at the crash site. In the
journals merely observations of wreckage and life jackets are documented -
silent witnesses of the catastrophe that occurred in the ice of the North
Atlantic 100 years ago.

** CHINA. 17550, April 12 at 0310, JBA signal from something; receiver still
tuned here after unID and KUWAIT earlier, when turned back on. HFCC shows CNR
at 0100-1030, 100 kW, 251 degrees from Beijing site. Aoki adds it`s CNR 1 from
Beijing 572 site in particular (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA [and non]. 21650, April 12 at 0311 Chinese with occasionally good
peaks, and CCI.
21595, April 12 at 0312, more Chinese, and an echo apart from 21650; by 0359
it`s JBA, and off at 0400* after timesignal.
21480, April 12 at 0400, CJKT/ZRGD ID, with CCI.
These all match HFCC and Aoki for R. Free Asia in Mandarin, one hour at a time
from TINIAN: 03-04 on 21650 and 21595, 04-05 on 21480, and of course all jammed
which is mainly what I was hearing (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA [and non]. Firedrake April 12, after 1330:
11500, very poor at 1343
12980, good at 1342
13130, very good at 1341
15500, good at 1336 with het on lo side
15560, good at 1336 with het on lo side
15785, very good at 1339: so much for Galei Zahal, totally blown away if it`s
still here. If they had any sense they would have gone back to 15850 --- or did
some ute complain them away from that?
15940, very good at 1339; none in the `14s
16100, very poor at 1340
17450, very poor at 1340
Before 1400, things have already changed:
15490, very good at 1356 with het on 15492
15560, very good at 1356
15785, still very good at 1357
15940, very good at 1359
16100, very poor at 1359
17450, very poor at 1359
After 1400:
17570, good at 1421
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 17580, April 12 until 1400* RHC cuts off modulation after first 7
notes of IS, and carrier off by 1401. Obviously intentional, yet formerly //
17730 continues with canned frequency announcement claming both of them are on
until 1500. RHC never manages to mesh announcements with reality! (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CYPRUS. 20290-20315, April 12 at 1412, OTH radar pulses, presumed from here.
I usually skip tuning the 20 MHz band as there is little chance of any
broadcasters, even harmonix, but tried it this time. A perfect place for such
noises, far from hams and broadcasters (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** EQUATORIAL GUINEA [and non]. 15190, April 12 at 1505 a song, praise music or
rock? poor signal, 1508 YL in English, presumably R. Africa on this early. At
first I wondered if IRRS via ROMANIA had an extra post-1500 broadcast this
Thursday, as they are still scheduled to have on Fridays and Sundays; only BS
was definitely there before 1500 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GREECE [and non]. 15650, April 12 at 1502, VOG in Greek with CCI from SAH,
i.e. R. Liberty in Turkmen via Wertachtal at 14-17. Why in the world doesn`t
ERT use alternately registered 15630 instead? Nothing else is scheduled on it
at any time between 14 and 02, VOG`s current span, except (in Aoki only), BVB`s
V. of the Wilderness via Tajikistan to N. Korea, extending until 1430 on
Sundays only. 15630 is open as I monitor --- of course, there`s always that
squishy spur around 15627 from WEWN 15610 at 15-24, not strong enough to bother
at the moment. Some ACI is better than direct CCI, but VOG only needs to avoid
15650 before 1700 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDIA [non]. 15390, April 12 at 1419, South Asian song and talk, poor-fair.
This 1330-1530 broadcast of Gospel for Asia, via Wertachtal, GERMANY is a rich
source for collectors of obscure languages, like Zacharias Liangas who is
putting up audio samples. EiBi by frequency does not show any details, but Aoki
has them all, including Wed/Thu/Fri at 1415-1430 in Mising.
EiBi does have a comprehensive language list at
http://www.eibispace.de/dx/README.TXT showing:
``MIS Mising (dialect of ADI): India-Assam (25,000)``
as GFA tries its best to erode those 25K speakers away from their original
religion(s) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** RUSSIA [and non]. 15721, April 12 at 0403, Russian number stations, in
groups of 3 repeated, ending with `null`; 0404 change cadence into groups of 5
as the real secret message starts; with big het from RNZI 15720. This is a
long-reported regular spy transmission, not sure if daily but a collision RNZI
could avoid by using another frequency.
M-F at 0400 it`s just generic RNZ National domestic relay program `Afternoons
with Jim Mora` from 0106 to 0500, ``Information and debate, people and places
around New Zealand``. But after 0400 Saturdays currently playing is `Around the
World in 80 Tunes`, world music thru April only; and `The Sunday Feature`,
documentaries from NZ or overseas: I think this is when I have heard some good
material from PRI or APM (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SAUDI ARABIA. 15170, April 12 at 0318, BSKSA HQS with Qur`an, good signal
but heavy flutter; no CCI, as to be expected per schedules, but at 0407 check
now it has QRM. This is the collision per HFCC:
03-06 Riyadh 500 kW 355 degrees
04-05 CRI Kashgar 100 kW 174 degrees
05-06 CRI Jinhua 500 kW 59 degrees
In the spring & summer, 15170 is a pleasant way to drift off to dreamland
before 0400, unless you comprehend Arabic. The flutter only adds to the
mystique, and does not impede our understanding at all.
17660, April 12 at 1402, sounds Arabic, which of course it is during Qur`an
segment, but French is scheduled from BSKSA at 14-18 due west from 500 kW
Riyadh. Accompanied by a constant wavering het on the hi side, sounds like a
banshee! Compared with keyboard, pitches range approx. 150-200 Hz in the octave
below middle C. 1440 still the same; at 1459 announcement definitely in French.
Final check at 1513, still French but the banshee is finally gone.
Aoki and EiBi show no other broadcaster scheduled on 17660 at this time. HFCC
has NHK Yamata until 1500, presumably wooden, but I would not expect that to be
off-frequency, and there was never any program modulation. Unlikely a jammer,
maybe a ute? Or defect in BSKSA`s own transmitter. Also can`t rule out Iran
transmitter which is supposed to be on 17660 at 0530-0927 only (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SPAIN. 21610, April 12 at 1414, no signal from REE; yet REE is still the
understation on 21540 making SAH and CCI with KUWAIT! The A-12 schedule shows
21610 is supposed to be on daily from 11 to 17 in Spanish (including Basque at
1240-1255 M-F [I thought that was longer, starting just after 1230?]); 17-21 in
Arabic (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TUNISIA. 7275, April 12 at 0502, IWT with medley of music including a bit of
``Fr?re Jacques`` apparently in Arabic, a benefit of colonial heritage. This
remains a late-nite favorite for music with a usually good signal and seldom
any QRhaM (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. 9955, April 12 at 0330-0400, nothing audible but
wall-of-noise jamming, during the first scheduled SW broadcast of WORLD OF
RADIO 1612, on WRMI. Tnx a lot, Arnie! Better luck maybe on some of the WRMI
repeats: Sat 0800, 1500, 1730; Sun 0800, 1530, 1730; Mon 0500, 1130.
Also unjammed: Thu 2100 on 9479 WTWW; UT Fri 0330v on 5050 WWRB; UT Sat
0100v-0135v on Area 51 via 5110-CUSB/LSB WBCQ; UT Sun 0400 on 5755 WWRB. Also
on WRN via SiriusXM channel 120: Sat & Sun 1730, Sun 0830 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX

Radio Bhutan , Thimphu is terug in de lucht op 6035 (v) Khz .Gisteren op
6035.050khz om 1730utc ,het station is niet dagelijks in de lucht .Dit zou
misschien tewijten zijn aan de transmitter,het signaal is zacht alsook de audio
.Met meestal boedistche muziek.
Ook is Congo (Rep.) Brazzaville in de lucht op 6115khz ,best is vanaf 1800utc
.De transmitter valt ook soms uit tot een 5 tal min. of zelf geen audio en
alleen de carrier.Program is in het frans en meestal hoort men nieuws
http://www.box.com/s/ff0a6807effda6f5ea1e Link verwijst naar een opname
,met ID op 3 sec. ,bij Bhutan kon ik enkel de boedistiche muziek vaststellen
.Dus geen opname gemaakt
Succes

Unident, 5059.977, 2330-2345, Noted a weak signal here of music. At 2331
noted, after the music finished, heard a female speaking over the noise.
After a couple of minutes, music returns. Can't confirm any other details
as the noise is very loud at this time and the
signal is worse than threshold! (Chuck Bolland, April 13, 2012)
