I'm not experienced in SDR as friends of list here. But of course there is a
deviation of frequency for 4752 in the chart and in the
listen.

Assunto: [dxld] Bangladesh Betar still stands by 4750 kHz
The RRC of Bangladesh Betar still stands by 4750 kHz. When I sent an email
asking them whether 4752 kHz was a drift from 4750 khz
this is the reply I received:
"Dear Dr Supratik Sanatani,
Thank u for your mail. 4752 KHz is not our frequency.
We have a frequency 4750 KHz which is used for home broadcasting service. We
would like to inform you that we have SW frequency 7250
kHz which is transmitted to India as our target area at GMT 15:15-15:45.You
can find details of our frequency schedules in our
website www.betar.org.bd/frequency.html .

** AUSTRALIA. 11945, Jan 28 from 1505, RA`s excellent `Asia-Pacific`
newsmagazine, but cut off abruptly at 1528 before it`s over. At 1529 I notice
that next frequency 11880 has started a bit early. Now must get in habit of
immediately retuning, just as one must do at 1458 from 9580 to 11945. But if it
is the same transmitter, there will still be a break of at least a minute
before 11880 come up. If possible, listen instead to 7240 which should stay on.
The people running the Melbourne studio just don`t get it that they need to
build in pauses with no significant programming, to accommodate SW frequency
changeovers. O yeah, SW is just an outdated adjunct to continuous short-range
FM relays and webcasts (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BANGLADESH. 4752, Jan 28 at 1351, still a carrier here hetting RRI Makassar,
see INDONESIA. Abu Tabib Md. Zia Hasan, Senior Engineer, Research & Receiving
Centre, Bangladesh Betar, denied to Supratik Sanatani, India, that they are on
4752 instead of 4750! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 11880, Jan 27 at 2140 check, RHC is in proper Portuguese this Sunday
instead of Esperanto as last Sunday. 15370 at 2243 check, ``Guantanamera`` is
playing, maybe in Esperanto version, but couldn`t tell from the many refrains
``guajira, guantanamera`` which are apparently untranslatable. Then talk in
Espo.
Noisy blobs all over the 25 m band, Jan 28 from 1322: first noticed circa 11845
and 11874, no intelligible music or talk modulation, but a constant-pitch whine
which matches on these and all the rest. At first I suspect RHC 11860
transmitter as the source, but these are not exactly the same plus and minus
from it, and as I tune on down, many more are encountered every 13-15 kHz or
so, to as low as 11580 area.
Many have no exact carriers and can be heard better in AM mode than with BFO.
First rough finds are circa: 11745, 11731, 11718, 11703, 11674; also 11788,
11801, 11816, 11827, 11888, 11901, 11914, 11954. The separations here are, also
approx.: 14, 13, 15, 29, 13, 15, 11, 61, 13, 13, 40. Common factor 13-14 kHz.
By now it`s 1347 and at this point I am suspecting Anguilla 11775 could be the
source. But at 1353 I can barely hear the same pitch whine under the otherwise
good modulation on 11760 RHC. At 1404 I notice the noise also QRMing 11775 but
its level fluxuates with fades, and the offsets do not match that exactly. Some
of them do have carriers and make hets with nearby victims, e.g. 11815 REE
Costa Rica, where the het on the hi side is circa F#6 = 1480 Hz. Call it
11816.5. If 11760 is the source, that`s 56.5 kHz above, fourth multiple of
14.125.
At 1530 they are still going, and on the YB400 BFO 1 kHz steps I estimate
several of them as: 11674.9, 11703.1, 11732.4, 11788.4, 11816.9, 11832.4,
11845.1, 11873.6. The intervals between these are: 28.2, 29.3, 56.0, 28.5,
15.5, 12.7, 28.5. The common factor here is somewhere around 14 kHz. Possibly
some carriers from other sources got in, to explain the disparities; also the
spurs themselves vary somewhat over time.
It only remains to monitor the RHC sign-off circa 1600, listening to one of the
spurs (11703) on one radio, and 11760 on another, both with BFO to hear exactly
when the transmitter is turned off. Yes, both disappear at exactly the same
instant, 1600:28*. Such a panoply of spurs from awful RHC transmitters has
happened several times before, a fine old anomaly, but bad news for all the
other stations: RHC the worst neighbor possible (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. 4750, Jan 28 at 1351, soft island music, presumed RRI Makassar,
poor with weak 2-kHz het from Bangladesh 4752 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** INTERNATIONAL VACUUM. ARTS channel via Enid PEGASYS cable access ch 12, UT
Monday Jan 28 at 0520, is starting to play ``Stairway to Lenin``, from ``The
Orchestra``. This is an hilarious satire on Soviet Communism, set to the music
of Ravel`s ``Bolero``. ARTS provides no program schedule, so you can only tune
in at random and see what`s playing. I have seen this many times, always
already in progress, but now from the beginning. Unfortunately, I am not
prepared to tape it! But maybe it will show up again in the next few days under
current rotation. Unfortunately2, PEGASYS only provides lo-fi hissy audio and
video from this channel: at least the video is not breaking up at the moment
and the sparklies are not too bad. The original was produced in HDTV! Look for
it on YouTube: here`s a fragment: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LoANrOmdtYc
Some others have been deleted. I think Zbigvision is trying to keep it salable
on DVD, along with other great videos, via http://www.zbigvision.com (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KURDISTAN [non]. 11510, Jan 28 at 1425-1500, another great concert of
Kurdish vocal and instrumental music with hardly any announcements, tnx to the
PKK terrorists of V. of Kurdistan, and coinciding with peak reception hour,
better than usual today from presumed PRIDNESTROVYE site. BUT, annoyingly
frequent IADs which BRB seems content to allow forever (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. Yet another winter sporadic E analog TV DX opening; like most of
them, quite frustrating with low-level signals, CCI from several at once, with
only occasional peaks allowing some network ID at least to be glimpsed, UT Jan
28:
0047, tune in to NTSC A2, opening in progress, CCI including novela
0053, net-7 bug in UR, not necessarily from the novela station; looks more like
a film drama
0137, still CCI on A2 and MUF now up to A3 video, peaking SSW
0230, still CCI on A2
0245, net-7 on A2 (XHTAU Tampico always the prime of several suspects)
0256, A2 glimpse of an UR bug which looks like a large 4 instead of a 7, but
could be mistaken
0330, by now the opening is over
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1653 monitoring: 0530 UT Monday Jan 28 on 9955, WRMI
ID can be heard under the heavy jamming, and then WOR 1653 opening, confirmed
anyway as on the air. Tnx a lot, Arnie! Next: Tuesday 1200 and Thursday 0430,
the latter maybe with new 1654 if ready in time; Wednesday 0630 & 1630 on HLR
Germany 7265-CUSB. Wednesday broadcasts appear to be regular now in addition to
Saturday, but need confirmation they still include WOR (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 2660, Jan 28 at 1347 UT, very poor carrier with a bit of gospel music
audible, presumed KGLD Tyler TX, 2 x 1330 as per previous research. Checked
earlier around 1310, nothing was audible (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

13 February is?World Radio Day?? a day to celebrate radio as a medium; to
improve international cooperation between broadcasters; and to encourage major
networks and community radio alike to promote access to information and freedom
of expression over the airwaves.
As radio continues to evolve in the digital age, it remains the medium that
reaches the widest audience worldwide. This multi-purpose medium can help
people, including youth, to engage in discussions on topics that affect them.
It can save lives during natural or human-made disasters; and it provides
journalists with a platform to report facts and tell their stories.
UNESCO encourages all countries to celebrate?World Radio Day?by planning
activities in partnership with regional, national and international
broadcasters, non-governmental organizations, the media and the public.
Throughout these web pages, you will find a wealth of resources that you can
use free of charge and without copyright restriction to help plan your World
Radio Day event.
Let?s celebrate!
