** BANGLADESH. 15505, July 2 at 1357, open carrier, very poor; 1358:25 IS from
BB; no timesignal heard by start of Urdu at 1359:45.
15505, July 3 at 1358, JBA carrier with tone; no IS or TS heard past 1400, but
started talking just before 1401 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BOLIVIA. 6154.95 approx., July 2 at 0056, rock music, 0058 YL DJ, more music
past 0100; 0102 announcement possibly mentioning Fides, but too much noise, and
after 0100 splatter from RHC 6165 IS. No het this time from India, however
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. 4915, July 3 at 0054, music here, so one of the Brazilians is on and
propagating, unlike last night, probably R. Daqui. This time the one on 4885 is
noticeably stronger, but several other ZY frequencies are JBA (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake July 2, before 1330:
13795, fair at 1324
The rest are CNR1 jamming instead:
13830, poor at 1325, none in the 12s
14750, fair at 1325
15105 & 15195, fair at 1328 with echoes, CCI
15545, very poor at 1327 with het on lo side; none in 16s, 17s
Firedrake July 3, before 1400
13795, poor at 1350
Only CNR1 jamming, with none in the 12s, 13s, 15s, 16s, 17s:
14800, fair at 1350
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGST)
** GUAM. 9880, July 3 at 1220 some switched-on Bach makes me pause, 1223 into
Korean. Must be as listed KSDA, 12-13 in Korean, 100 kW, 330 degrees (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 92.1, July 3 at 0052 UT I notice that KAMG-LP Enid is back on the
air after a week or more off (and before that weeks of dead air), resuming
praise music in Spanish; shux (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PERU. 5980, July 2 at 0059, R. Chaski carrier detectable until 0104:09*,
i.e. 5.5 seconds later than yesterday.
5980, July 3 at 0056, R. Chaski with usual very poor signal and bits of
modulation, a bit clearer after China is finished with Cuba on 5990 around
0100; Chaski cutoff at 0104:14* which is 5 seconds later than yesterday (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9930, July 2 at 2020, WTWW-2 is back on with a QSO show playback;
12105, WTWW-3 is in French.
WORLD OF RADIO 1675 was playing on 9930 when I checked at 2351 about Romania
21500, so must have started around 2328.5 on this Tuesday (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. Noise across the 7 MHz band, July 3 at 0521, gradually
diminishing out to the edges, with irregular peaks circa: 6685, 6760, 6820,
6865, 6910, 6950, 7000, 7035, 7100, 7175, 7210, 7265, 7295, 7345, 7380, 7435,
7470, 7510, 7550, 7585, 7620, 7680, 7725, 7755, 7800, 7835. Some others maybe
obscured by strong signals, such as 7405 Cuban jamming and R. Mart?, but not in
the center of this panoply. I don`t hear these at other dayparts (Glenn Hauser,

** BOLIVIA. 6155-, July 4 at 0101, presumed R. Fides, with YL talking including
possible mentions of Bolivia. JBA LAH from presumed India not so off-frequency
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. 4915, July 4 at 0052, JBA carrier here, could be the other ZY if R.
Daqui is again absent (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** EGYPT. 9965, July 3 at 2259-2302, R. Cairo English to N. America is instead
tone test, but sufficient level atop the buzz. One might be interested in how
they treat the latest coup. Too busy with WORLD OF RADIO to check further until
0021 UT July 4, now with vocal music, undermodulated; same at 0051 after out of
English.
How about the 0200-0300 broadcast in ``English`` on 9720? At 0215 UT July 4
when there should be news, unmodulated. But it doesn`t take a coup for R. Cairo
to accomplish this. Morsi deserved to go for not fixing Radio Cairo (hi).
The other nominal English to W Europe and onward to N America is at 2115-2245
on 11890, unchecked yet.
WRN had been providing R. Cairo audio on demand, but even worse, John Figliozzi
finds that there`s nothing there for the past month (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** PERU. 5980, July 4 at 0051, R. Chaski with some audio; carrier cutoff at
0104:19.5* which is 5.5 seconds later than last night. The split-seconds are
just my approximations, roughly halfway between the numbers ticking away on my
digital watch (as always with a WWV correxion). For a closer estimate we need
to compare to the time a certain number of days earlier, such as:
``5980, May 16 at 0059, R. Chaski carrier detectable until cut off the air at
0100:02*, which is 5 seconds later than yesterday. At this rate it will take
roughly 70 days to reach 0106 and another timer reset.``
That is, over a period of 50 days from May 15 to July 4, the cutoff has
precessed 4 minutes and 22.5 seconds later = 262.5 seconds, which divided by 50
= 5.25 seconds per day (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TAIWAN [non]. Having failed to replace WYFR with some other relay to N
America, how can R. Taiwan International now be heard? Theoretically it looks
like the English relays via France to S Asia at 16-17 on 15485, and to Africa
at 17-18 on 15690 should be possible, and maybe will be on a better day, but
July 3 at 1657, no signal on 15485 (off already?), and at 1700 nothing but a
JBA carrier on 15690. BTW, Alan Roe tells me that RTI quoted my e-mail about
the need for a new relay, on their mailbag this week, ``We`ve Got Mail`` (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1676, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1676 monitoring: completed in time for first
airing on WRMI, 9955, UT Thursday July 4 at 0330; repeats are Sat 1500 & 1730,
Tue 1100.
On WTWW: Thu 2100.5 on 9479; Sat 2329v on 9930 (but last week was 0000 UT
Sunday on 5085 instead); UT Sun 0400.5 on 5830; Sun 2330v on 9930. Also new or
previous WOR any day, any time between 17 & 24 on 9930, 00-01 on 5085. (This
week it showed up Tuesday at 2329.)
On WWRB: UT Friday at 0326v on 5050.
On Area 51 via WBCQ: UT Saturday 0130v on 5110v-CUSB
(from July 13 this moves to UT Saturday 0200-non variable).
On Hamburger Lokalradio: Sat 0630 & 1430 on 7265-CUSB; Sun testing at 0630,
1030, 1430 and 1830 on 15785-CUSB (also appeared this Wednesday at 1630, having
missed the tests last Sunday).

(Glenn Hauser, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 5925-5965 approx., July 4 at 0058, extremely distorted modulation
is spreading roughly here wideband, worse in open spots, but audible also under
WWCR 5935 PMS. Otherwise peak circa 5955 mixed with Cuban jamming against no
Radio Rep?blica. Sounds like a silly ballgame with hyperenthusiasm, could well
be in Spanish. R. Nacional, Argentina, 6060 transmitter has been reported way
out of whack in the 5920-5930 area by Argentines, but this seems stronger than
it could manage so far away; only one receiver on the porch, so I can`t hunt
for parallel matches (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 55.25 MHz, July 3 at 2343, NTSC video fades in weakly for less
than a minute, with antenna south. Probably Mexico ch A2 trying to reach here
by sporadic E (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

ROC office rebuts Sound of Hope charges on broadcasting issue
2013/07/03 14:41:09
Washington, July 2 (CNA) The Republic of China's representative office in the
United
States on Tuesday described as "inaccurate" a radio network's claim that the
office
has failed to convey to its home government congressional concerns over a
shortwave
broadcasting issue.
The Falun Gong-affiliated Sound of Hope Radio Network said recently that
several U.S.
Congress members have expressed concerns about Radio Taiwan International's
decision
to demolish RTI broadcasting towers in southern Taiwan.
The towers have been used in part to send shortwave radio signals to China,
including
programming that the Falun Gong contracts Radio Taiwan International (RTI) to
broadcast, and the group fears that without the towers its exposure in China
will be
limited.
The Sound of Hope charged that Taiwan's representative office, under the
leadership
of King Pu-tsung, did not seem to have conveyed the congressional concerns to
President Ma Ying-jeou or forwarded letters addressed to him on the issue by
American
lawmakers.
"The allegations are not true," the ROC representative office said in a
statement.
The office has dealt with the issue promptly and faithfully and has conveyed
the
congressmen's concerns to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and other related
government agencies, the statement said.
On June 21, ROC Deputy Representative to the U.S. Jacob Chang also met with
Sound of
Hope senior executives to listen to their appeals and convened to the Ministry
of
Foreign Affairs their appeals the same day, the statement said.
"It's extremely regrettable that Sound of Hope has run reports without
verification,"
King said in the statement.
San Francisco-based Sound of Hope was founded by Falun Gong supporters in 2003.
It
began leasing time on Radio Taiwan International's shortwave radio network in
2004 to
broadcast programs to China.
Much of the programming has been broadcast via RTI towers in Tainan and in
Huwei,
Yunlin County, but the Tainan towers were torn down in June and work on the
Huwei
site is expected to start in the second half of the year.
A resolution passed by Taiwan's Legislature has demanded that the towers on the
two
sites be completely torn down by the end of 2013.
Arrangements have been made for Sound of Hope Radio programs to be broadcast to
China
in the future via RTI's Danshui and Baozhong facilities, the statement said.
The Taiwanese broadcaster has given Sound of Hope assurances that the move will
not
affect the number of hours it can broadcast through RTI facilities and the
services
it receives, the statement said.
RTI has already briefed U.S. congressional members through the Ministry of
Foreign
Affairs and Taiwan's representative office in Washington, D.C. on its
decision-making
process and handling of the case, the statement added.
According to the office, the towers' removal was based on valid reasons and had
been
planned for a long time.
Residents in the vicinity of the Tainan towers have long complained about
electromagnetic wave interference and repeatedly pushed for their relocation,
and the
Huwei towers are being removed to make way for a special high-speed rail zone,
the
statement said.
The decision to demolish the Tainan towers was made in 2004 when the Democratic
Progressive Party (DPP) was still in power and the decision to phase out the
Huwei
station was made in 2011, it said.
DPP Legislator Chen Ting-fei, who represents a Tainan constituency, has on many
occasions pushed for early removal of the towers to facilitate the city's
development, according to the statement.
It further said the Tainan station was torn down in late June ahead of schedule
mainly because the site was part of a river cleaning and flood-prevention
project.
