HOLANDA; 7699.9, FRS Holland, recibida e-QSL por un informe de recepci?n
de una transmisi?n que tuvo lugar el d?a 18 de noviembre entre las 1140
y las 1215 UTC, con una potencia de 350 watios. Tardaron en contetar 20
dias.
Por otra parte, en un PDF adjunto, envian "FRS Newsletter", participando
una transmisi?n especial "FRS Holland's Holiday Season" para el d?a 30
de diciembre:
"NEXT FRS-HOLLAND BROADCAST It?s a long time tradition?.FRS-Holland?s
Holiday Season broadcast. On Sunday December 30th FRS-Holland will be on
air with this annual festive broadcast. Note that the this broadcast
will be on 7700 ?nd a 5.8 MHz frequency (replacing 9300). Programnmes
are run twice between 08:52-14:05 UTC/ 09:52-15:05 CET and 14:05-19:15
UTC/ 15:05-20:15 UTC. We realize that part of the 2nd run will be in the
dark hours?not favourable for Europe but on the other hand better
chances for North America. Our 5.8 MHz frequency (5800 or 5810
hopefully) will do better than 9300 in the later part (less risk of long
skip). FRS-Holland offers you the opportunity to send in your December
Greetings to radio friends and relatives. Your contributions are highly
appreciated and will add something special to our programmes! You can
easily produce a little (written) message and send it to
[[email protected]]. It only takes a few minutes of your spare time....
We raffle a radio DVD among those who participate in our December
broadcast with their Seasonal greetings. We'd like to ask you to do it
as soon as possible as some shows will be recorded within 10 days.Don't
hesitate but just do it! If you have the opportunity to send in an audio
(mp3) clip you are more than welcome! Written messages are also welcome
via POBox 2701, 6049 ZG Herten in the Netherlands. Join us ringing out
2018....the FRS-Holland staff is looking forward to hear from you... I
hope you will be tuning our way December 30th. Watch your mailbox as we
always forward an e-mail prior to a proposed broadcast. And of course
check our website. All info will be published at least 5 days before any
broadcast.
REPORTS Reception reports sent by mail are consequently verified with
our e-QSL. For snail mail we offer a high quality printed A5 size hard
QSL copy- in full colour- which has a different (much better looking)
back and is of course much more desirable compared with the e-QSL.
Although we realize that an e-mail report is a quick and easy way in
reporting, we feel that a ?letter? report to our mailbox (POB 2702) is a
more ?charming? and personal way. For only 3 euro/ 3 US dollars we
forward that desirable QSL along with a large A5 size color sticker! If
you are interested in our exciting, adventurous history?you can obtain a
hard-copy of our specially produced ?30 Years of FRS-Holland? booklet
(24 pages, in colour!). Send 5 euro/ 7 US dollars to FRSH, POBox 2702,
6049 BE Herten, the Netherlands. A very interesting read is guaranteed!!
All the best & 73s, Peter V. (on behalf of Jan, Paul, Dave, Roger, Bert,
Bobby & Brian) 73s Peter V.
"AUTUMN 2018 BROADCAST On Sunday November 18th FRS? third 2018 broadcast
took place. It was decided to put out the programme schedule twice:
09:52-14:05 CET followed by a second run 14:05-18:10 CET.
The driving idea was to give listeners two chances tuning our way. In
case someone would be prevented listening in the morning hours, there
would be a 2nd chance in the afternoon. And of course vice versa!
Additional advantage: propagation in the afternoon could be different
(read: more favourable) compared with the morning hours. Frequencies
were ?good old? 7700 in parallel with 9300 kHz. On Sunday Nov. 11th a
few tests were successfully run on 9300. We were confident 9300 could do
well.
Propagation that Sunday was fair/good and during most of the day signals
on both freqs were audible in wide areas of the European continent. 7700
was the strongest/ loudest but there were areas in which 9300 was equal
to 7700. FRS signals were received in at least 16 countries. Remarkably
strong signals for instance in countries like Switzerland, Iceland,
Italy & Norway. But also stable reception in Estononia and Kongsfjord
(Artic). Later in the evening 9300 faded out in most areas.
That also counts for 7700 but that was later and in a smaller area. All
in all we at FRS were happy with the overall results. At 11:15 CET our
TX engineer decided to make a move from 9300 to 9335 kHz. Reason was a
very annoying Stanag/ data signal causing a nasty heterodyne. Some
listeners assumed the TX developed a fault?that was n?t the case as we
moved to 9335 kHz were the 31 mb outlet successfully continued.
Salient detail: not long after moving to another channel the data signal
disappeared? Although we announced 9213 as a standby frequency, it was
decided to continue on 9335.
Perhaps confusing for some listeners! A message was put on the website
in which we informed about the 9300 ? 9335 move. Please keep in mind:
unforeseen circumstances can cause a necessary frequency change. In most
cases FRS will move to an alternative near by frequency. And: in most
cases we?ll put a quick message on the FRS site www.frsholland.nl. Just
after 14:00 CET when the full repeat of pxs started, FRS moved back to
9300. Minutes later an Asian station signed on on 9305 and stayed for
the next 50 minutes or so. That affected the 9300 signal but: we decided
n?t to move knowing the station would likely sign off within an hour.
And that

A Balance between Music & Information joined to one Format, the
FRS-Holland Sound tastes Different, Just a Bit Different
happened! FRS signed off at approx. 18:20 CET. November shows were
presented by almost our complete team; only Roger Davis couldn?t make it
this time. For the first time since long, a 30 minute FRS goes DX
edition was part of the programme schedule. The show contained a wide
variety of News from around the World and short wave news. On Nov. 24th,
25th (twice!) and 27th the complete November broadcast was streamed on
the Internet. PRACTICAL TIP When receiving reports we notice again and
again that there sometimes are huge differences in signal quality
between listeners living not that far away from apart. No doubt SW
signals can ?act? quite unpredictable but that?s not always the main
cause. A good aerial is of vital importance! In particular when not
using an expensive top receiver. A telescopic aerial isn?t as senstitive
as an (outdoor) wire antenna. Even when not having enough space outside,
you can try to connect a few metres of wire to your telescopic antenna
inside the house; temporarily. Just try and test for the best results.
Reception could certainly improve. It?s worth giving it a try?"

** CANADA. 413 kHz, Dec 8 at 0755 UT, beacon YHD, 250 watts from
Dryden, Ontario; must have had a dash but didn`t note it.
406, Dec 8 at 0756 UT, beacon YLJ and dash, 40 watts at Meadow Lake,
Saskatchewan.
401, Dec 8 at 0758 UT, beacon YPO and dash, 500 watts from Peawanuck,
Ontario. Got to be a new one: love these colourful placenames.
Wikipedia: ``Peawanuck is an isolated Cree community in the Kenora
District, Ontario, Canada. It is located near the confluence of the
Winisk and Shamattawa rivers, about 35 km from the Winisk River's end
in Hudson Bay. Its population is 237.`` --- that does not mean it is
anywhere near Kenora in the SW corner of the province! (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CAYMAN ISLANDS. 415 kHz, Dec 8 at 0754, beacon CBC, which is 600
watts from Cayman Brac (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA [non}. 11920, Dec 8 at 1500, S8-S4 news in perfect French,
RFI? but DPRK clew and stingers leading finally to 1509 ID as ``Radio
Chine Internationale``. This is 150 kW, 240 degrees via ALBANIA at 14
-16 --- the only station anywhen on 11920 per HFCC, but a 5960 could
harmonicize here (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 15140, Dec 8 at 1511, RHC is S9+10 but suptorted; wiggle that
patchcord! // 15230 sounds OK. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ERITREA [non]. UNIDENTIFIED. 17545, Sat Dec 8 at 1546, VP carrier,
the OSOB! (as 17775 KVOH is not on yet or inaudible). Aoki/NDXC shows:
17545 R [sic, only one letter in name column!] 1500-1600 12...67
Amharic 150 122 Issoudun F 4657N 00159E RMI Eritrea b18 Dec.1-
And EiBi:
17545 1500-1600 F R.V. [sic, 2 letters!]. Eritrea Tig Issoudun 167
And HFCC:
17545 1500 1600 48NW ISS 150 122 0 227 1267 011218 300319 D 17400 Mul
F RMI TDF 17058 Eritrea
So I ask Jeff White: ``Hi Jeff, Heard a signal on 17545 this morning
(and nothing else on 16m then). It appears to be one of yours --- what
is the real name of this station; contact info? Is the 4-day-a-week
sked correct? Or 3 days as in EiBi. Tnx, Glenn``
He replies: ``Glenn: It?s Saturday only. It?s called Alsmood, but I
don?t have a website or contact info. Jeff``
So I go a-Googling, disregarding sites about ALS:
https://www.facebook.com/alsmood.llaytam
with more than 5 megafollowers
leading to this satellite broadcast:
https://www.facebook.com/elradio9090/
and also linked to this on 88.1/88.7 FM:
https://www.facebook.com/88.7fmNews/?ref=py_c
It`s apparently based in Cairo, but nothing much ``about``
https://www.facebook.com/alsmood.llaytam/about
Nothing found about this SW broadcast, so no positive 17545 connexion
with this disgraced FB info (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GERMANY. 6190-USB, Sat Dec 8 at 0730 I struggle to detect Hamburger
Lokalradio when WORLD OF RADIO is scheduled, but not a trace. Would
just like for once to hear me direct on this station. Deep winter
should be the best chance, but too-low MUF and/or too-low power. No
luck either at 1531 UT Saturdays on 9485-CUSB. But it`s mainly for
Europe. And sometimes off the air without notice (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** GERMANY. 11900, Dec 8 at 1456, gospel huxter in English at S4-S6,
not noticed before --- because it`s a Saturday-only broadcast of Bible
Voice via Nauen (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 1300 & 1480, Dec 8 at 1946 UT during bandscan on caradio
for daytime skywave, JBA hets on these two, i.e. ~90 kHz from 1390
KCRC local a mile or so away. The +/- ~30 kHz KCRC spurs near 1360 &
1420 are perpetual and loud enough to listen to, while the weaker ones
+/- ~60 kHz near 1330 & 1450 are also always audible; so now I
conclude KCRC spurs also spew out to the third order. BTW, the KCRC
engineer denies they exist! Despite my hearing the closer 4 anywhere
in Enid on anyradio, and the primary ones a considerable distance on
the road out of Enid (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. Some NDB DXing before I doze, tuning down, don`t even get to
400 kHz:
417, Dec 8 at 0752, IY, which is 25 watts from Charles City, Iowa
404, Dec 8 at 0757, HU, 25 watts at Hutchinson, Kansas.
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) more: CANADA; CAYMAN ISLANDS
** U S A. 15580, Sat Dec 8 at 2105, VOA`s only hour via Greenville is
S9+30, blasting in during VOA One rock music, but with some IADs
(intermittent audio dropouts). Hardly any announcements past 2130 as I
continue to wish VOA had more diverse tastes in American! music (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1959 monitoring: confirmed Saturday
December 8 at 1209 on Unique Radio via WINB, 9265, as I happen to
awaken; VP S3-S4. Richard Langley, New Brunswick also reports:
``Heard very weakly using the U. Twente SDR receiver today (8
December). So weak, couldn't make out edition # nor most other
information. When WINB signal checked before leaving home at about
1200 UT, nothing could be heard. Propagation not supported to NB``
Saturday Dec 8 at 1531 on HLR 9485-CUSB: nothing audible via UTwente
SDR, possibly a trace at 1558. (See also GERMANY)
I am also wanting to confirm WOR Saturday at 1700 on WRN via WRMI
5950, but keep missing it. Did check at 1747 and could hear JBA signal
in English mentioning Chinese, so that fits for Guangdong Radio at
1730 on WRN. Next:
0400vUT Sunday WA0RCR 1860-AM [nominal 0415], ND
0830 UT Sunday WRMI 5850 to NW, 5950 to WNW, 7730 to WNW

** U S A. John Carver`s report on this week`s `Allan Weiner
Worldwide`, UT Sat Dec 8 at 00-01 on WBCQ, had not quite yet arrived
in time for my last report, but now:
``Show started more or less on time on 7490 this evening after a bit
of dead air. Allan and Angela in the studio. Allan had a small rant
about special prosecutors, equating them with the Inquisition. Said it
was a terrible waste of time and money, achieving nothing but the
ruined lives of a few good people.
Allan stated they were also on 5130 and 9330 but there is another
program on 5130 at this time. Phone caller at 0113 points out to Allan
that there's another program on 5130 at that time. More talk between
Allan and the caller about politics, social media, cellphones etc.
Signal on 7490 starts to diminish around 0132.
Phone call at 0137 from an old listener and some talk about old shows
in the archives. Some talk with Angela about "smart" speakers and how
they can gather information on the owners.
Allan starts reading some old emails at 0148. Mr. Transistor Norm
calls at 0151 and touches base with Allan as it's been awhile since
they've talked. Back to the old emails at 0154. Prayer at 0158. Show
was off the air at 0200 as was 7490. John, Mid-North Indiana`` (Glenn
Hauser, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9955, Dec 8 at 1453, this WRMI is off; on Saturdays is
supposed to stay on even past 1500; 9395 in well enough (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 21525, Dec 8 at 1905, Radio Africa via WRMI with good
signal, S9+10 even audiblizing some humbuzz like video mix, gospel
huxter in English. Normally it`s a JBA carrier at best, as obviously
getting a temporary winter sporadic E boost.
21610 has VP signal from WHRI, now HFCC registered at 14-19, but
Aoki/NDXC says 16-19 on weekdays, 14-19 on weekends.
Tnx to Es, I also explore the higher non-BC bands: a couple hams on
``15`` meters, 21335-USB and 21300-USB. I cannot copy their co-channel
contacts, and despite some exchanges, no IDs uttered, geez. No
activity on 12 or 10m. On 11m CB, only a hetty pileup on 27025, or
rather dominated by someone on 27024-AM.
18157.5-USB, Dec 8 at 1914, bears a ham in NC contacting someone in
HI, weaker but also audible. Quick ID from NC sounds like ``W1CP,
QRT``. That fits the ARRL lookup, not in New England at all:
PORTOUKALIAN, GEORGE, W1CP, FRANKLIN, NC 28734 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 15550-USB, Dec 8 at 1916, WJHR heard for third time here,
ex-15555, now S9 tnx to sporadic E; 15610 WEWN & 15825 WWCR are also
boosted. 15555 was exclusive, but 15550 must avoid 15-16 UT, Tamazuj.
I hasten out to the field and caradio to check for DX reaching FM, but
none heard, so I mainly bandscan on MW which is possibly also affected
by Es, but lowsun now also means non-sporadic night-like E-propagation
is possible (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. Altho local mean noon is always 1832 UT, I don`t get around
to bandscanning for winter daytime skywave on MW until 1945 UT on
Saturday December 8. I`m on the caradio at the kitefield north side of
Enid away from power lines (but still lite buzz at highband). Nothing
much on lowband, not even WGN-720, but 1090 has something besides KEXS
KS/MO.
1480, Dec 8 at 1947, Spanish music from KBXD Dallas mixing/atop KQAM
Wichita. 1480 also suffers from KCRC-1390 +90 kHz spur; see OKLAHOMA

USNA.edu, pause 10 seconds for ID: ``ESPN Kansas City, KCTE
Independence`` MO plus some FM translators, and back to an Army-Navy
SBG. Also an intriguing LAH (low audible heterodyne) from algo (KCTE
itself off-frequency? I think it used to be).

Bellaire/Houston already skywaving almost 500 miles.

local KUSH Cushing OK, i.e. KRVA from The Metroplex TX. This language
tends to stand out on the MW dial!
