== START OF QUOTE FROM Radio New Zealand International ==
2 February 2017
The head of the Tonga Broadcasting Commission says a new injection of
cash will help the state broadcaster strengthen its signal to the outer
islands of the country.
The broadcaster is to receive more than US$91,000 and Nanise Fifita said
it will bring great benefits to the people of Tonga.
She said Radio Tonga's AM service would be able to be heard reliably
throughout the kingdom which is necessary, particularly during cyclone
season, and Television Tonga will be able to purchase an analogue
transmitter.
"It will have a lot of impact positively, [on] the operation of both
Radio and Television Tonga. It was a request that we made to the
government of Tonga for some assistance because we have some equipment
issues. We need to replace some and also source spare parts."
== END OF QUOTE ==
You can listen to the full interview on the Dateline Pacific podcast:
http://www.radionz.co.nz/international/programmes/datelinepacific/audio/201831849/tonga's-tbc-to-be-heard-and-seen-more-clearly-after-cash-boost
Among others, the RNZI host underlines how the Radio Tonga AM boost is
particularly important now that ABC has stopped their shortwave service,
upon which Ms Fifita replies that they are grateful to have RNZI (she
pronounced it Renzee) as a fallback coverage should Radio Tonga's
transmitter go off air during a natural disaster.

WORLD OF RADIO SCHEDULE
http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html
ALAN ROE`S HITLIST OF SWBC STATIONS
http://www.w4uvh.net/hitlist.htm
** ALBANIA. 7475, Feb 7 at 0229, NO signal from R. Tirana; propagation remains
degraded, but Romania is audible on 40m. Expect English to North America in
A-17 at 0130 to resume 9855 or so (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ARGENTINA. 11710.6v, Feb 7 at 0220, NO signal from RAE; it`s never strong
but usually detectable on weeknights; and ought to be, compared to Brazil 11780
propagating at S9+25, and the other much weaker 25m ZYs. I also have not heard
anything recently on 15345v in the afternoons. So is RAE off completely,
Arnaldo? But see my 6060 log (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CANADA. 3330-CUSB, Feb 7 at 0255, CHU is AWOL again, and maybe from 7850, or
is that a JBA carrier from it? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. 4900, Feb 6 at 1400, 5+1 timesignal about a sesquisecond late, S6-S8,
and not // 4940. At 1503, still VP carriers detectable on both, 4940 slightly
stronger. These are Voice of Strait, Fuzhou, 4900 being a new frequency, cf. my
previous report. The referenced Japanese forum has had further info about this,
unclear about total schedule, languages:
http://radio.chobi.net/DX/bbs/?res:1707#2105
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 5040, Feb 7 at 0240, NO RHC, only weak S8-S6 carrier. Yet 5025, R.
Rebelde is active again in evening, at S9+40 with music. I can`t see how 5040
could be anything but RHC transmitter, perhaps on exciter only, as it never has
any CCI (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KURDISTAN [non]. 11600, Feb 6 at 1425, no signal from Denge Kurdistane
during the segment allegedly via PRIDNESTROVYE, so off the air? We`ll see what
happen when FRANCE is supposed to start at 1500. Already at 1454 recheck I do
get a JBA carrier on 11600; then *1459:55 cut on a strong open carrier at
S9-S7. Not until 1502:02.5 is presumed Kurdish talk faded up, JIP (joined in
progress). As per previous logs, when KCH is on, the transition at 1500 is
virtually seamless (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NORTH AMERICA. 7615, Feb 7 at 0226, here`s Station YHWH on another new
frequency, at S9-S7; still at 0246 but fading down past 0255+. Bob LaRose, San
Diego had also discovered this, and also heard by Walt Salmaniw, BC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1863 monitoring: confirmed UT Tue Feb 7 at 0030 on
WRMI, 7730, S9+40; also on WBCQ 9329.9v-CUSB, poor. Next:
Tue 1200 WRMI 9955 to SSE, 6855 to WNW
Tue 2130 WRMI 15770 to NE, 6855 to WNW
Tue 2300 WRMI 9955 to SSE
Wed 0030 WBCQ 9330v-CUSB to WSW
Wed 1030 WRMI 5850 to NW, 6855 to WNW
Wed 1415.5 WRMI 9955 to SSE, 6855 to WNW
Wed 2200 WBCQ 7490v to WSW
Thu 0030 WBCQ 9330v-CUSB to WSW
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. (7490.1), UT Tue Feb 7 at 0100-0200, since I`m at the computer,
listen to WBCQ online for `From the Isle of Music`.
Bill Tilford is adding another program come March 3, UT Fridays 0000-0030 on
7490, `Uncle Bill`s Melting Pot` of American musical variety, he tells the MARE
Tipsheet; and of course shifting an hour earlier one biweek later due to DST,
Thursdays at 2300. I think I have converted the times correctly, unlike MARE
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 7505.01, Feb 7 at 0228, WRNO with YL huxtress, seems unreasonably
steady rather than wandering as I listen, so impatiently move on and don`t get
back to recheck it in the next semihour (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 14770, Feb 7 at 0231, no signal from WHRI second harmonic, while 7385
is S9+50. Harold Sellers, BC had heard 14770 Feb 5 at 0210, almost as strong as
7385. Nor could I hear 14770 when checked 24 hours after that. I`d not expect
much signal if any at this distance from SC at that hour, but maybe BC would
get longer skip from it, altho I wonder if he really had receiver overload. Can
anyone else hear 14770 anywhen? If it`s very strong, see if it remain with
attenuation (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 5059.1, Feb 7 at 0241, approx. center of second-order spurious hash
out of 5085 WTWW, i.e. 2 x 12.95 kHz away, along with the much stronger with
some modulation even audible first-order on 5072.05; matched on hi side by
5097.95 and 5110.9. Ted is playing music on one of his sporadic broadcasts, and
this time 5085 is about the strongest signal I have ever had on SW, almost
pinning the NRD-545 meter at S9+65! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 3195, Feb 7 at 0246, WWRB is still on with usual paranoid
politico-gospel huxters, and usual lo-fi audio, hum and breakup. It`s UT
Tuesday, so should soon be off completely until UT Sunday (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** ZAMBIA. 5915, Feb 7 at 0237, 1 kHz tone at S8-S5, must be ZNBC Radio 1 about
to sign on. By 0242, Fish Eagle interval signal is playing and continues until
0251; nice to hear, but can`t get rid of splash from 5910 Romania and 5920
WHRI, equally on both sides even tho they are only slightly stronger. 0251
choral NA, 0253 non-English announcement, drumming and chanting.
This morning transmission is often cut off early in an hour or so (WRTH shows
continuous until 2205), due to power outages. This ``load shedding`` problem is
discussed in detail by Ray Robinson and Bill Bingham in DXLD 17-04. Electricity
rates are also higher in the mornings, which caused VOH Africa to drop its
morning broadcasts completely in favor of evenings. And more in 17-05 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 4070.34, Feb 7 at 0257, JBA CW beacon sending ZN over and over
slowly. Previously logged Feb 4 a 0448 as on 4070.36; maybe my estimates are
varying rather than the transmission. So where is it? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 7597.4, Feb 7 at 0227, open carrier at S9+25; as I previously
reported twice: ``7597.4, Dec 8 at 0532, S9+30 open carrier, equal to my
previous log Nov 14 at 0042; utility accomplishing nothing other than occupying
frequency?`` Perhaps it`s on once a month, but I missed it in January? This
time, also heard by Bob LaRose, San Diego, and Walt Salmaniw, Victoria,
measured it on 7597.425 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 11739.15, Feb 7 at 0219, JBA carrier. Seems stable unlike the
slightly wandering birdies the NRD-545 produces, so maybe really there.
Certainly not a spur out of weak Cuba. No Brazilians on 11740v; maybe missing
ARGENTINA, q.v.? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
