Hi Andrea,
Thanks very much for the update & pics.
I don't think I ever saw that caged dipole before. But found it on
historical Google SV & Maps from your photos - just now.
For some reason I always thought (obviously incorrectly) that the 4005 kHz
(3975/6075/7250) kHz transmission emanated from one of the
2 HF Yagi style LP antennas.
I see in SV May 2014 that the caged dipole also missing, but was definitely
there in Google June 2013 aerial imagery. - Ian

Thanks Don,
Ohh the memories, - 73 wolfy df5sx
in December 1978 we were pressured on the frontier on highway CA1 to take
carry Guatemaltecs Security Forces members with our rental Chevrolet car
between San Crist?bal de las Casas MEX and Huehuetenango GTM.
Their luggage were most modern machine guns ... few days later ...
re-Radio Sandino, Nicaragua, after some 40 years passed.
I came across to that revolutionary voice in mid December 1978
in Atitlan and Antigua Central America.
Noted Radio Sandino for the first time on shortwave approx. 7325 kHz on my
South African made Barlow Wadley set. This happened during a 5 weeks touring
journey to Cozumel, Belize, Chichicastenango, Antigua and Lake Atitlan in
Guatemala.
In Antigua we suffered a sudden earthquake-terremoto on an early December
1978 morning, and left the hotel sleeping room expressly. We were sit down
on the terrace and looked worried to the tall active vulcano on the
horizon.
I switched on the Barlow Wadley set and came across of Radio Sandino
broadcast - for the very first time - on approx. 7325 kHz around
7 to 9 a.m. local Guatemala time.
When back to Europe, I informed Arne Skoog at Radio Sweden DXers program
broadcast of this revolutionary radio station which did originate in
Nicaragua and across the Costa Rican border district. Item appeared on
Radio Sweden's SCDX bulletin # 1516 on Jan 23, 1979.
North American DXers noted Radio Sandino around 7588 kHz in March 1979
[stn wandered from 7315 to 7702 kHz].

** CUBA. 6100, Dec 5 at 0554, RHC`s strongest and best-modulated English
frequency here by far is instead dead air, also a few minutes later. 6000 &
6165 are very undermodulated as usual tho S9+45 and S9+35; that leaves 6060
sufficient at S9+30; and 5040 is in Spanish. Also still on in Spanish are 9535
and 9710 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ERITREA [and non]. 7175, Dec 5 at 1435, JBA carrier, no doubt VOBME-2 by
longpath, but nothing in the 7146 range from VOBME-1; off or moved? Also have
two carriers beating on 7205: Sudan? and could the other be VOBME now? Aoki
shows 7205 Urumqi in Uighur, but Sudan not starting until 1430 as of B-15.
Still hearing the same at 1513 recheck; and by then, 7120 JBA carrier from
Hargeisa, Somaliland longpath is also present (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. 9525.9, Dec 4 at 1411, no signal from VOI. Atsunori Ishida at
http://rri.jpn.org/ reports a carrier until 1300, but no signal from 14 to 21
this date (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX ISTENING DIGEST)
** KURDISTAN [non]. 9400, Dec 4 at 1405, good S9+40 Kurdish music at S9+10, no
QRM after FEBC is finished, from Denge Kurdistane, 300 kW, 130 degrees from
PRIDNESTROVYE at 12-15 per Aoki, so long path? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** UGANDA [non]. 15240, Sunday December 4 at 1659, Dave Frantz sounds live on
S7 WWRB ``Middle East, Africa, European service``, asking for reports, soon
``over to Uganda`` for R. Munansi at 1700, but dead air for a while. I suppose
this was just signing on rather than a break, and apparently running at least
until 2100 on Sat & Sun (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 15220, Dec 4 at 2123, VOA One rock music, IADs of a couple seconds at
irregular intervals, during the so-called Haitian Creole service at 2100-2130
which however at least on weekends fills with VOA One instead. Also on 11720,
and carriers are open well before 2100. This is not // 15580 also VOA
Greenville, with African service music (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1854 monitoring: confirmed UT Monday December 5 from
0401 on Area 51 webcast, and also on WBCQ 5130.083, S9+10. Next:

Thu 0030 WBCQ 9330v-CUSB to WSW
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. 7490, Dec 4 at 2329, heavy CCI between WBCQ and BBCWS in
English, making medium SAH at about equal levels! This is a continuing
frequency management failure, as apparently FCC and BaBcoCk negotiators at HFCC
can`t imagine that BBC Thailand would be a problem for `BCQ in central USA.
Fortunately it`s for only one hour now at 23-24, 250 kW, 25 degrees from Nakhon
Sawan, which means under grayline conditions it carries right on to North
America. Even more fortunately, there is nothing worth listening to on WBCQ
during this hour M-F, only Brother Scare; on Sundays `WGOD Presents`, whatever
that is; but on Saturdays, the first hour of J. P. Ferraro`s `Shortwave
Saturday Night`. Perhaps he should complain about it (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. 12035, Dec 5 at 1415, Voice of Turkey music in English
service suffers from splatter de 12050, dirty transmitter of Mother Angelica`s
WEWN, which can also be heard down to 11985, barely missing Reach Beyond,
Australia in English on 11980 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 17775, Dec 5 at 1518, S9+30 KVOH with report about Chilean radio
station ratings, on `Frecuencia al D?a`, then Dino with Dec birthday wishes to
regular listeners. Once again KVOH is playing FAD on Monday at 1500, when
`Antena DX` is on their schedule: what has become of that? FAD is scheduled
Fridays at 1500, maybe both times now (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

sunrise today: 1328 UT (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 5010.00, Dec 5 at 0706, carrier here, but cannot be blamed on
5040 Cuba leapfrog over 5025 since 5040 is now off. Possibly a utility: we must
not forget that 60m is NOT a broadcast band in non-tropical North America, but
a fixed band; any broadcasters are there as exceptions (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 5810, Dec 4 at 2337, some broadcaster VP signal, not yet WEWN
which nominally starts bigsig in Spanish at 0000. Nothing else scheduled now;
possibly ChiCom-jammed BBC jumparound frequency from Thailand in English, which
Aoki shows started Nov 27 but at 12-14 UT only (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING

UNIDENTIFIED. 5995, Dec 5 until 0552* something in English just going off as I

Angola. 4949.73 kHz. R. Nacional. Station appears to have had difficulties
this weekend. For the week ending December 2, it had an unusually strong
signal every night, as if they had boosted their power and/or added a new
antenna. On December 3, it came on the air late, and the signal was quite
weak. On December 4, it didn't appear at all. On December 5, it's back, noted
at 2325 with a fairly strong signal. (Delibert, MD 12/5/16)
China. 5050.0 kHz. Beibu Bay Radio (presumed). Listings say this station
signs on at 2300, but I've noted several nights that it's been on a bit
earlier. On December 4, I parked just off-frequency and waited for the het to
appear, which happened at 2247. Xmsn started with what I would characterize as
traditional Chinese flute music for 3 minutes, followed at 2250 with pop music.
China-style time beeps at TOH, but announcements were not readable.
(Delibert, MD 12/4/16)
Zanzibar. 11735.0 kHz. 1758 - 1802. Tuned in to hear a woman in presumed
Swahili. At 1759, several mentions of ZedBC, followed by about 45 seconds of
drumming, time pips (only about 1 second behind actual TOH), and then news in
English. BC was close to 100% readable, first time ever to get such a clear
signal that early in the day at this QTH. (Only heard their English BC one
other time, and that was from Martha's Vineyard, where signal levels are
better.) I'd like to attribute this to having turned by pennant antennas
horizontal, which has dropped the background noise considerably, but the
super-quiet magnetic field of the last few days may also have contributed.

And it appears to be for real this time. I can't say I blame them...
continue with somewhat inferior "AM" Signals or build out more FM
transmitters?
ABC Exits Shortwave Radio Transmission
*06 December 2016*
The ABC will end its shortwave transmission service in the Northern
Territory and to international audiences from 31 January 2017.
The move is in line with the national broadcaster?s commitment to dispense
with outdated technology and to expand its digital content offerings
including DAB+ digital radio, online and mobile services, together with FM
services for international audiences.
The majority of ABC audiences in the Northern Territory currently access
ABC services via AM and FM and all ABC radio and digital radio services are
available on the VAST satellite service.
ABC International?s shortwave services currently broadcast to PNG and the
Pacific. Savings realised through decommissioning this service will be
reinvested in a more robust FM transmitter network and an expanded content
offering for the region that will include English and in-language audio
content.
Michael Mason, ABC?s Director of Radio said, ?While shortwave technology
has served audiences well for many decades, it is now nearly a century old
and serves a very limited audience. The ABC is seeking efficiencies and
will instead service this audience through modern technology?.
The ABC, working alongside SBS, is planning to extend its digital radio
services in Darwin and Hobart, and to make permanent its current digital
radio trial in Canberra. Extending DAB+ into the nation?s eight capital
cities will ensure ABC digital radio services can reach an additional
700,000 people, increasing the overall reach of ABC digital radio to 60% of
the Australian population.
ABC Radio is also investigating transmission improvements to address
reception gaps in the existing five DAB+ markets. It aims to ensure a
resilient DAB+ service in every capital city, with enhanced bitrates and
infill where necessary.
?Extending our DAB+ offer will allow audiences in every capital city in
Australia equal access to our digital radio offering, as well as
representing an ongoing broadcast cost saving owing to lower transmission
costs,? added Michael Mason.
ABC International?s Chief Executive Officer Lynley Marshall said the
reinvestment from closing international shortwave services would maximise
the ABC?s broadcast capabilities in the region.
?In considering how best to serve our Pacific regional audiences into the
future we will move away from the legacy of shortwave radio distribution,?
Ms Marshall said. ?An ever-growing number of people in the region now have
access to mobile phones with FM receivers and the ABC will redirect funds
towards an extended content offering and a robust FM distribution network
to better serve audiences into the future.?

can continue to access ABC International services via:
? the web stream at:
http://www.radioaustralia.net.au/international/listen

Listen? at:
