** BANGLADESH. 15505, Aug 14 at 1357 BB with tone; just before 1358 the IS
starts with some hum and runs past 1400. Final iteration faded down incomplete
in order to play off-time signal ending at 1400:20.5, later than lately or
usual, then opening Urdu. Very poor with flutter (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake [non], August 14, CNR1 jamming before 1300:
13830, very poor at 1236; none in the 12s
14800, very poor at 1236
15940, poor at 1233
16100, poor at 1233 with flutter; none in the 17s, 18s
Propagation conditions are generally degraded, even from HCJB Australia on 15
MHz (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** FRANCE [and non]. 11605, August 14 at 0545, French news about Maroc, hum and
flutter, fair signal, better than // but not synch 11700. 11605 is RFI via
SOUTH AFRICA at 05-07; 11700 is Issoudun direct at 04-08 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** GREECE. 9420, Aug 14 at 0551, M&W in Greek, laughing, fair with flutter, so
``ERT`` is on now, tho increasingly sporadic or on ``wrong`` frequencies per
Ivo Ivanov (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDIA. It`s time for the annual Independence Day ceremonies which cause AIR
to modify its schedule for live broadcasts, as Jose Jacob has explained in
detail in advance. It is hoped that many of the less active regional stations
will come back on, and sometimes on `day` instead of `night` frequencies to
avoid interruptions for the Flag-raising ceremony, etc., starting at 0130 UT
August 15.
But, first, ``14 August 2013 (Wednesday) 1330 UT (7.00 pm IST) Honble President
Pranab Mukherjee`s `Address to the Nation` on the eve of Independence Day in
Hindi and English at 1330 UT (7.00 pm IST). All stations of AIR will relay this
on MW, SW & FM.``
[Prithwiraj Purkayastha in Jorhat, Assam, India, confirms to the dxldyg that
AIR Kohima was back on 4850 for the speech at 1330-1400]
Unfortunately, that`s far too late for anything to propagate on 60m to deep
North America, but I try the higher frequencies:
9870, at 1320 Aug 14, VBS with vocal music, usual CCCCI from CRI English making
a SAH; at 1333 I can hear that the speech is being delivered in English, but
too much QRM to copy it.
How about the AIR GOS also starting ordinarily at 1330? Nothing pre-empted
here: 9690 at 1328 no IS but OC, song starts just before 1329, sign-on and news
from 1330.5 until 1339.5; // 13710 turns out to be better, while nothing
audible on 11620. Maybe the speech is delayed later into the sesquihour, but I
give up after hearing music at 1350 on 13710 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. 4870-, Aug 14 at 1225, carrier and traces of talk, presumed RRI
Wamena. It`s been active lately per http://rri.jpn.org/ altho no entry yet for
this date, and Ishida does not deal in precise frequencies. Wamena is always on
the lo side and yesterday Ron Howard put it at 4969.92 tho it seemed to me
lower than that today, more like Chuck Bolland`s unID on Aug 10 at 1030-1045 on
4869.947. At same time I was also getting carriers on 4750, no doubt including
RRI Makassar on the lo side of that (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SOLOMON ISLANDS [and non]. Correcting date for this item in my report of
August 11-12: not August 4 as typoed originally! Tnx to Ron Howard for catching
it:
5020-, August 12 at 1157 I have a very weak carrier from SIBC, so wait to time
its cutoff: approx. 1200.5*. Otherwise before 1200 there were carriers from
3385 PNG, 4940 China, but not from 4750 Indonesia or 4755 Micronesia (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TURKEY. 15450, Aug 14 at 1228, Turkish music with periodic Voice of Turkey
IDs in English, very poor signal, accurate 6-pip timesignal to 1230, last pip
prolonged, and opening English. Now it dawns on me that VOT has abolished their
longtime repetitive keyboard IS and replaced it with this orchestral music,
which explains why I was not hearing the old IS a few minutes prior to other
broadcasts. Need to tune the better English transmissions a few minutes before
2200 on 9830 (RTTY permitting), 0300 on 9515 to North America.
By clicking on Broadcast from this page
http://www.trt-world.com/trtworld/en/news.aspx
the complete transmission autolaunches. But audio on demand omits the IS
lead-in! As of Aug 14, the latest one is dated 11 August! and starts with the
canned sign=*off* announcement! ``you have been listening to ---``, English
schedule, ``thank you for listening to the Voice of Turkey, and goodbye``, but
then program previews and news (or rather olds).
Advancing player to near the end of the 50+ minute file, but nothing audible,
maybe not fully loaded yet, but can play the Q of the Month at :35 in. A few
minutes later it`s all loaded so I advance to :47 minutes during fill music,
headlines and the sign-off announcement again, but not a note of any IS; then
auto-replays the file from the start (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. 9885, Aug 14 at 0553, VOA French poorly audible via
BOTSWANA, suppressed by Greenville carrier already on prior to site switch at
0600; having ignored my previous report of this self-collision. No, neither
targets OK, but surely Greenville aimed eastward is QRM in Africa too, as it
will be the only modulated signal a few minutes later.
15640, August 14 at 1401, good signal and modulation with news about Morsi at
1403 with angry crowd, stingers, listed as VOA Kurdish, 10 degrees from
BOTSWANA. Doesn`t usually stand out like this; compared to JBA carrier on
15650, presumably Greece (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Hello
If you like what we do....please help us face the battle to pay
our way......
Keeping Radio Memories
_______________________
It's one-third of the way through our financial year, and time
to reflect on progress being made with the project to look after
radio memories. We learn almost weekly of major shortwave radio
stations going silent, of AM and FM radio folding under the onslaught
of digital radio, of hobby magazines like Monitoring Times closing
down..............and suddenly it's good to know that there is a
place where people are doing something to keep radio memories alive,
collected and protected, and shared with others............
10 days to find $3899 to pay the bills
________________________________________
Keeping radio memories safe, even with volunteer time and skills,
still has some costs, just like running a household. Despite kind
donations since April 1, our tank is still running on half empty and
if you like what we do, please make a donation today................
*$100 Sponsor x 39 or $1.92/week
*$75 Contributing Gold x 52 or $1.44/week
*$35 Regular Gold x 111 or 67 cents/week
Each individual who reads this can make the difference for less than
the price of even one cup of coffee a week, so please, just visit
www.radioheritage.com today and make your donation.
If you're in New Zealand you can also make a very simple bank
transfer to our BNZ Courtenay Place account # 02-0568-0025796-00 and
we issue tax receipts so you can claim one-third back ......
And we'll keep doing our work so more people can enjoy 350+ features,
hundreds of photos and images and the growing group of radio station
guides all for free............thanks on behalf of thousands of
people who visit the project every month searching for radio
memories...............they'll find them thanks to you.
Aussie & now Kiwi Radio Guides
______________________________
As a volunteer based organization, we depend on new technologies to
do the work, keep in contact, and make life a little easier. Thanks
to Chris, our ever patient Webmaster, we've now got some ways to
involve others in the exciting task of data entry, which results in
things like THE New Zealand Radio Guide, the amazingly popular
Australian Radio Guide and other neat services that folks enjoy, and
find useful. Have you used them yet?
Facebook is OK for some
_______________________
Nearly 700 now like us on Facebook too, where we share items from the
collections, stories, news, competitions and enjoy feedback and
comments from supporters worldwide...............do come and like us:
www.facebook.com/pages/radio-heritage-foundation/130248583654860
More staying longer
___________________
More people are now staying much longer at the project, and the new
Retro Radio Dial features are proving very popular.........plus I
hope you've seen the new features on the early days of Radio 2AP
Samoa and the US Armed Forces Radio Mosquito Network station 1ZM in
Auckland, New Zealand.........
Our thanks to folks who keep the collections refreshed with more
memorabilia every week.....station ephemera, QSL cards, promotional
items..........but please don't send transmitters and antennas or old
radios...........we just don't have the room for them!
Enjoy!
______
Enjoy the rest of summer, or winter..........and visit the project as
often as you can......even if you read just one feature a day you'll
be back every day for almost a year.............and if you'll help us
cover the A$3,899 shortfall in operating costs by August 21 we'll be
honored to add you to the Supporters Roll of Honor and you'll know
you've done such a lot for less than the cost of one cup of coffee a
week!
Warm wishes
Dave Ricquish
Chairman
Radio Heritage Foundation

Email 'code DXL' to [email protected] to be removed from this
list and allow 15 days for manual removal by a volunteer from our
system. No, we get no grants from any government, the radio industry
or big business.......just donations from good and patient folks who
like what we're doing...and we're proud to recognize everyone who
helps out in any way they can.......and we're always free and open
24/7.......
