** CHINA. Firedrake May 23 before 1400:
13795, JBA at 1356; as usual all the rest replaced by CNR1 jamming:
13920, fair at 1356
14750, poor-fair at 1367
14870, JBA at 1356
15800, poor at 1357
15970, fair at 1358
16360, fair at 1358
16920, very poor at 1358; none in 17s, almost deadband except weak Kashgar,
Habana (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** COLOMBIA. 14960, the single log of Salem Stereo from the UK in April has yet
to be confirmed by any other reports of it, and never anything heard here at
random chex. I might ask the pastor-in-charge but he never replied to my
inquiry when it disappeared last September; busted? (Glenn Hauser, May 23, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 5040, 6000 and 6165, May 23 at 0058, RHC all in open carrier/dead air,
which is understandable on the 6`s prior to English from 0100, but 5040 should
have been going from French to Spanish.
15180-15330 approx., May 23 at 0258, extent of the big buzz spewing out of the
RHC 15230 transmitter, gradually weakening out to the edges. Could not detect
it, however, to equal range on low side which would have been 15130 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [non]. 7365, May 23 at 0253, R. Mart? with silly baseball game, atop
the jamming. RM carries a lot of b?isbol, no doubt a big draw among
dentro-Cubans. One team was obviously Miami, and they referred also to ``los
indianos``, but there are no Indians (or Indianans) in the same league as Miami
per
http://mlb.mlb.com/team/index.jsp
According to Marlins` calendar the May 22 game was really vs Filadelfia, not
that it matters (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NEW ZEALAND. 11725 AM and 11675 DRM, May 23 at 0516 and still at 0531, no
signals from RNZI (nor on 15720, 13730). It happens again. If I had kept with
it a bit longer, as Ivo Ivanov did in Bulgaria, I should have heard wrong 15720
finally on at *0535-0547, and then right 11725 from 0548 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** PERU. 5980, May 23 at 0054, carrier from R. Chaski, vs noise level, enough
to time the cutoff today at 0100:38, five seconds later than yesterday (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SOMALILAND. 7120, May 23 at 0331, JBA carrier vs much stronger CW QRhaM,
0333 trace of music, from R. Hargeisa (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SPAIN [non]. 9625-9630-9635 at least, May 23 at 0357, DRM noise! Until
suddenly cut off at 0401*. Presumably slipshod REE COSTA RICA forgot to turn it
off at 0200; HFCC shows 9630 also registered in ``D`` mode, which nonsensically
means NOT DRM, at 0200-0600, both 100 kW, 340 degrees to North America. The
other night DRM was late starting too after 0000 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U K [non]. 15365, May 23 at 0258 open carrier, to become what? 0300 BBCWS
news in English, good signal. HFCC shows this hour only is 250 kW, 30 degrees
from Kigali, RWANDA; to be followed on 15365 by 04-05, 250 kW, 10 degrees from
Oman.
Still seems odd to be hearing BBC via a DW site, but why not? Searching the
latest A-13 HFCC file for May 22, on RRW BBC BAB, we find only one other such
transmission: 17640, 1400-1430 in Hausa, 250 kW, 310 degrees. NB those who try
to hear/verify every possible station/relay site combination (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1670 monitoring: confirmed first airing on 9955 WRMI,
Thursday May 23 until 0359:03, more or less equal to the pulse jamming level;
tnx a lot, Arnie! WRMI repeats are Saturday 1500, Tuesday 1100. Next:
Thursday 2100.6 on WTWW-1 9479; UT Friday 0330v on WWRB 3195 (if their computer
is working again; and/or we hope 5050 with less of a summer storm noise level).
UT Saturday 0130v on Area 51 via WBCQ 5110v CUSB (stay tuned, as AWWW often
runs late). Saturday & Sunday 2330v on WTWW-2 9930; UT Sunday 0400.6 on WTWW-1
5830.
Tnx to Ted Randall, WOR also appears at variable earlier hours on WTWW-9930: Ed
Insinger caught #1669, Wednesday May 22 starting at 1935. Alternates with
playbacks of his QSO shows (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

The Competition Commission has told Global Radio it must stations in seven UK
regions. Photograph: Linda Nylind for the Guardian
Global Radio, owner of network radio brands including Capital, Heart and Real,
must sell stations in seven areas of the UK to appease the competition
regulator's concerns over its ?70m acquisition of GMG Radio.
The UK's largest radio operator has been told by the Competition Commission
that it must sell some of GMG Radio's Real and Smooth stations, or its own
services such as Heart and Capital, in seven areas: the East Midlands, Cardiff,
North Wales, Greater Manchester and the north-west, the north-east, central
Scotland, South Yorkshire and West Yorkshire. The competition regulator cleared
the deal in London and the West Midlands.
However, the Competition Commission said it would allow Global to do deals to
potentially license its radio brands to whoever buys the stations it must sell
off.
Tuesday's final Competition Commission ruling is a blow for Global Radio, which
had?offered to sell off just three radio stations?in response to a?provisional
finding in February,?which found the GMG Radio deal could lead to advertising
and competition issues in a number of regions.
The competition regulator's final report found that in regions where there is
an overlap of stations owned by Global Radio and GMG Radio ? which is now known
as Real and Smooth Limited, the names of its two main brands ? there is likely
to be higher prices for advertisers.
"Advertisers buying airtime on a campaign-by-campaign basis, directly or
through smaller agencies (non-contracted advertising) could face higher costs
for both airtime and sponsorship and promotion activity," the Competition
Commission stated in?its 139-page report.
"We concluded that, subject to reviewing the detail of any agreement, a partial
divestiture of one or more stations involving a brand-licence arrangement
between the acquirer and Global was a credible divestiture mechanism and was
capable of being effective in addressing the substantial lessening of
competition."
Simon Polito, chairman of the inquiry at the Competition Commission, said: "In
each of the seven areas, the merger would mean the loss of either the only main
competitor or one of the three main alternatives. Requiring Global to sell
stations to new owners in the affected areas will preserve competition and
protect these advertisers' interests."

The Ladakh incursion may be recent, but the Middle Kingdom has been making
quiet inroads into the Indian mindspace for a long time. After securing a large
Indian footprint with powerful cross-border radio broadcasts and a vernacular
bonanza via shortwave, China is all set to pump the volume.
The external service of China Radio International (CRI) beams content in Hindi,
Bengali, Urdu, Tamil and other Indian languages and is believed to be beefing
up the portfolio. The station is planning to add Gujarati, Punjabi and
Malayalam to its external service menu soon, official sources told FE. CRI is
also believed to be planning to set up a local office, subject to government
approval, to meet its expansion plans.
Such ?legal? shortwave broadcasts come on top of China-backed radio stations in
Nepal beaming programmes in Hindi dialects, reaching up to 100 km across the
border into the villages of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar.
The northern neighbour?s experiments in moulding public opinion across the
border have
not gone unnoticed. The enhanced signal strength from the Nepal stations has
been of particular concern, said a senior official.
?All India Radio (AIR) has been told to beef up its transmission network to
counter this threat. Around R400 crore have been sanctioned in this year?s
Budget to tackle the cross-border communication influx,? he said.
Apart from improved cross-border beaming, the external service of All India
Radio is also set for an overhaul. Programming and the technical improvements
in AIR external services in Ladakh and all along
he Nepal and China border are on cards. Currently, AIR broadcasts its external
services in 27 foreign languages via shortwave. However, these attempts may be
no match for CRI which broadcasts in over 60 languages, reaching most countries
in the world, armed with a half-billion-dollar-strong budget.
Already, cheap Chinese-made multi-functional radio sets have flooded the
markets in the villages and towns in northern Bihar and Eastern Uttar Pradesh.
Last week, Cai Jun, deputy director of the Tamil department of CRI based in
Beijing told visiting foreign journalists that the station wants the FM radio
network in Tamil Nadu to broadcast some of its content in Tamil. CRI Tamil
Service also has plans to launch its own FM service in India. However, current
FDI policy in FM radio sector caps foreign investmentsfor the upcoming
third-phase expansion at 26%.
?The easiest legal way for any foreign radio broadcaster to enter Indian FM
space is through content sharing. But the content has to be compelling for both
listeners and advertisers,? said a senior executive of the association of radio
operators in India (AROI), the apex body of private FM broadcasters.
CRI?s Tamil service is in India for over three years broadcasting on shortwave
across Tamil Nadu, and is planning to launch more Indian language services.
?More languages means more Indian radio professionals may be need to work out
of Beijing. With the third-phase of FM radio auctions expected soon, foreign
media companies may look to participate through joint ventures, either before
or after auctions,? said the AROI executive.
MADE IN CHINA, HEARD IN INDIA
