Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8"
On a sea day sailing from Rotterdam to Cork, Ireland, so a bit of time to
compile some further bandscans from our stateroom on the HAL cruise ship,
the Zuiderdam. A reminder that my equipment is very basic: A small
portable, the XHData D808 (modified for MW use by Gary Debock) and a few
feet of random wire across our balcony. Reception has been very good
overall, with noise not much of an issue. A pleasant change to scan the SW
bands, and actually hear a lot of pretty decent stations. Look out,
though. China seems to be virtually everywhere (similar to other places on
this planet I've visited in recent years)! Any errors are my own.
Comments always welcome! 73, Walt
PS: A good MW session is still to be compiled. Sorry for the delay!
ASCENSION 17830, 1745-, BBC Aug 13 Poor level in English to Africa. A bit
too late in the evening to propagate well this way. (Salmaniw,Zuiderdam
Norwegian Sea)
ASCENSION ISLAND 15400, 1737-, BBC Aug 13 Good to very good reception with
African accented English, beamed to W Africa. (Salmaniw,Zuiderdam Norwegian
Sea)
AUSTRIA 17570, 1745-, AWR Aug 13 Moosbrunn must be a relatively
underutilized transmitter site. Sure hope it doesn't follow Sentech's lead
and call it a day! AWR programming in Maasai to E Africa at good level.
(Salmaniw,Zuiderdam Norwegian Sea)
BOTSWANA 13630, 1733-, VOA Aug 13 Excellent reception in Portuguese to S
Africa, but carrying on to the Norwegian Sea. News program.
(Salmaniw,Zuiderdam Norwegian Sea)
BOTSWANA 15580, 1737-, VOA Aug 13 VOA in English at good level. This site
gets out very well, as I often hear it as well at my home in Victoria, BC!.
(Salmaniw,Zuiderdam Norwegian Sea)
CHINA 11650, 1717-, CRI Aug 13 Found another Esperanto frequency from
China. Again, I didn't ID the language until looking it up! Very strong
signal. (Salmaniw,Zuiderdam Norwegian Sea)
CHINA 11680, 1718-, CRI Aug 13 Very strong signal in listed Swahili.
Everywhere on the dial you'll find CRI!. (Salmaniw,Zuiderdam Norwegian Sea)
CHINA 11690, 1718-, CRI Aug 13 OMG, yet another Chinese transmitter, this
time in French at excellent level. (Salmaniw,Zuiderdam Norwegian Sea)
CHINA 11825, 1724-, CRI Aug 13 Croatian programming with Chinese lessons at
very good level. (Salmaniw,Zuiderdam Norwegian Sea)
DENMARK 5840, 1705-, World Music Radio Aug 13 From this time, ENE of the
Faroe Islands, and continuing to Bergen, Norway, and leaving Bergen, WMR
was well heard only using the whip on the XHData D808 receiver. Mostly
non-stop music with occasional short IDs for WMR or World Music Radio. I
have not heard any further information, ads, or URL or email addresses
noted (unlike Radio Northern Star on MW and 5895 kHz). No sign of 15805,
so likely a weekend operation only?. (Salmaniw,Zuiderdam Norwegian Sea)
EUROPIRATES 6293, 1912-, multiple Aug 15 I did a quick bandscan looking for
Europirates during our North Sea crossing between Bergen, Norway and
Rotterdam, Holland. There were many! Amongst them, were as follows:
6293 strong, with a Dutch folk song. 6275 weak (and seems // to 6293),
6265 fair/good with non-descript music, 6225 very weak, 6205 very strong,
and should be Laser Hot Hits, supposedly from Ireland. I'll be interested
to see whether I hear them during our 3 port visits in Ireland! Also:
6200 very strong (and may be Radio Discovery), 6320 fair (and may be
Radio Sovereign), 5780 good level with piano music (and may be Radio
Harmony), and 5140 fair/good (and may be Charleston Radio International.
Definitely, no shortage of Europirates, when, at least on the WCNA, there's
not a whole lot to be heard anymore in the 42 m pirate band.
(Salmaniw,Zuiderdam Norwegian Sea)
FAROE ISLANDS 531, 1707-, Kringvarp Foroya Aug 13 I highly suspect they are
running their full 10 kW, as they are extremely well heard right across the
ocean north of the Faroes. Heard well for 2 days preceding and 2 days
following, from leaving Iceland to leaving Norway. On the 15th, mid day in
the North Sea ESE of the Faroes, not heard during the day, so I'm thinking
they must have a northerly beam. (Salmaniw,Zuiderdam Norwegian Sea)
FRANCE 11530, 1715-, Radyo Denge Aug 13 Clearly hearing this off the back
end at fair to good level in listed Kurdish as well as middle Eastern
sounding music. SW Skeds, however, also lists Grigiopol, Pridnestrovie as
another possible site for the same program. I'm assuming it's Issoudun,
but I could be wrong. (Salmaniw,Zuiderdam Norwegian Sea)
FRANCE 11945, 1726-, NHK Radio Japan Aug 13 To South Africa in Japanese
with music, but only poor to fair reception. (Salmaniw,Zuiderdam Norwegian
Sea)
GERMANY 17720, 1745-, AWR Aug 13 Another AWR broadcast, this time from
Nauen and in Oromo to E Africa at very strong level. (Salmaniw,Zuiderdam
Norwegian Sea)
KUWAIT 11575, 1717-, VOA Radio Ashna Aug 13 Listed as such, in Pashto, at
excellent level with talk. (Salmaniw,Zuiderdam Norwegian Sea)
KUWAIT 15540, 1737-, Radio Kuwait Aug 13 Very strong reception in Urdu. If
English comes on at 18:00, it should continue to give excellent reception
into this part of Europe!. (Salmaniw,Zuiderdam Norwegian Sea)
KUWAIT 15620, 1740-, VOA Aug 13 In Somali at good to very good level. To E
Africa, of course, but very well heard here in the NE Atlantic Ocean, too!
That wraps up the 19 m band scan. Not so many Chinese heard (or I didn't
bother to record them). (Salmaniw,Zuiderdam Norwegian Sea)
MADAGASCAR 11790, 1723-, AWR Aug 13 Swahili listed with talk at good
level. I didn't mention 11760 and 11770 both also heard at poor to weak
level, with the latter having a het on frequency. (Salmaniw,Zuiderdam
Norwegian Sea)
MADAGASCAR 13730, 1733-, NHK Radio Japan Aug 13 Good reception in Swahili
to E Africa. Forgot that NHK still broadcasts in this African language!.
(Salmaniw,Zuiderdam Norwegian Sea)
NIGERIA 15120, 1736-, Voice of Nigeria Aug 13 Strong DRM signal, but of
course with the ULR, I wasn't able to decode anything. (Salmaniw,Zuiderdam
Norwegian Sea)
NORTHERN MARIANA ISLANDS (T) 11985, 1729-, Radio Free Asia Aug 13 Now I'm
not convinced that this RFA transmission is from Saipan, although that's
what's listed in my resources. I hadn't heard that Tinian and Saipan are
back on the air since being nearly destroyed last year by a typhoon. In
any case, in Korean at good level with internet address given, and then an
RFA ID in English, announcing the following program in Korean (again).
(Salmaniw,Zuiderdam Norwegian Sea)
PHILIPPINES 12120, 1731-, Radyo Pilipinas Aug 13 Good reception into my
simple XHData and short wire setup, sitting on my balcony on the 6th deck
of HAL Zuiderdam, ENE of the Faroe Islands. A pleasant way to spend the
early evening! That completes my 25 m band survery. (Salmaniw,Zuiderdam
Norwegian Sea)
ROMANIA 11850, 1725-, RRI Aug 13 Very good signal with nice Romanian
music. Romania is one of the few countries, that are not totalitarian,
that bother to produce worthwhile SW programming. Thank you RRI!.
(Salmaniw,Zuiderdam Norwegian Sea)
ROMANIA 11975, 1728-, RRI Aug 13 Strong reception in a language I did not
immediately recognize. Sure enough, it's RRI in Romanian to southern
Europe. (Salmaniw,Zuiderdam Norwegian Sea)
SAO TOME 15460, 1736-, VOA Aug 13 In listed Shona to Zimbabwe, but making
it to the Norwegian Sea, at fair level. (Salmaniw,Zuiderdam Norwegian Sea)
SAUDI ARABIA 11745, 1718-, BSKSA Al-Azm Radio Aug 13 Strong signal in
presumed Arabic. Heard 'Iraniya' mentioned. (Salmaniw,Zuiderdam Norwegian
Sea)
SAUDI ARABIA 11860, 1727-, Republic of Yemen Radio Sana'a Aug 13 Fair level
Arabic talk. (Salmaniw,Zuiderdam Norwegian Sea)
SAUDI ARABIA 13710, 1733-, BSKSA Holy Quran Aug 13 Excellent reception with
Quranic recitations. Beamed to North Africa. (Salmaniw,Zuiderdam Norwegian
Sea)
SAUDI ARABIA 15435, 1738-, BSKSA Aug 13 Excellent strength with Quranic
recitations. (Salmaniw,Zuiderdam Norwegian Sea)
SAUDI ARABIA 17560, 1742-, BSKSA Holy Quran Aug 13 The Saudi's seem to be
very common during this bandscan. Now starting in the 17 MHz band, this is
the first station heard, and at very good levle with Quranic recitation.
(Salmaniw,Zuiderdam Norwegian Sea)
SAUDI ARABIA (T) 15205, 1736-, BSKSA Holy Quran Aug 13 I'm thinking this is
likely the Saudi with a very strong signal, but just an open carrier.
Likely a fault at their end, which doesn't seem to be all that uncommon.
(Salmaniw,Zuiderdam Norwegian Sea)
SRI LANKA 11750, 1720-, SLBC Aug 13 Good level in listed Sinhalese. Nice to
see a few broadcasters who are not Chinese!. (Salmaniw,Zuiderdam Norwegian
Sea)
SRI LANKA 11835, 1725-, SLBC Aug 13 All I could find listed was SLBC and
Thunder FM in Tamil listed on at this time. Sounds like a call-in show, at
fair to good strength. (Salmaniw,Zuiderdam Norwegian Sea)
THAILAND 12055, 1731-, VOA Aug 13 Somali programming at good to very good
level. (Salmaniw,Zuiderdam Norwegian Sea)
UAE DUBAI 12095, 1730-, BBC Aug 13 Amharic is listed at good to very good
level. Note, I didn't bother listing numerous 25 m Chinese transmitters,
as they're too mumerous for me to type up! Believe me, there are lots!.
(Salmaniw,Zuiderdam Norwegian Sea)
UK 15260, 1736-, IBRA Radio (Radio Sama) Aug 13 Arabic listed here with
fair signal, and music, beamed to the ME. Remember when IBRA broadcast
from numerous transmitters around the world? Nice to see that they're
still around in a small(er) way. (Salmaniw,Zuiderdam Norwegian Sea)
UNKNOWN 11630, 1717-, unid Aug 13 Not sure who this is, although at
absolutely superb level, in presumed Arabic. If this is the case, then
should be Radio Kuwait, although not listed on at this time.
(Salmaniw,Zuiderdam Norwegian Sea)
USA 13845, 1735-, WWCR Aug 13 The Overcomer Ministry at good level, but
with some deep fades. Unlike o the WCNA, Brother Stair is not everywhere
on the dial. Still a pretty decent signal for 100 kW. Once again, I
didn't bother to list a few Chinese transmitters on this bandscan. As
evening progresses, it's clear that the MUF is dropping.
(Salmaniw,Zuiderdam Norwegian Sea)
VATICAN CITY 13830, 1735-, Vatican Radio Aug 13 Fair to good reception in
listed Tigrinya to East Africa. (Salmaniw,Zuiderdam Norwegian Sea)

** CHINA. 12190, Aug 17 at 1323, CNR1 jammer, one of its favorite WOOB
frequencies against unheard Sound of Hope, S6-S8.
13550, Aug 17 at 1324, CNR1 jammer about the same, S6-S8.
13890, Aug 17 at 1328, CNR1 jammer JBA but enough to // 12190.
13920, Aug 17 at 1328, JBA probably also CNR1 jammer.
10920, Aug 17 at 1334, CNR1 jammer, S4-S7, only WOOB one found below
the 12s and 13s.
11785, Aug 17 at 1351, a rare Firedragon music jammer, not // CNR1
mostly talk jammers like 12190, S7-S9; off at 1415 check, but still a
JBA carrier. VOA Philippines in Chinese finishes at 1400, then CRI
Chinese via Kashgar, EAST TURKISTAN takes over and does not get jammed
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 9570, Aug 17 at 1313, CRI Plus English relay with drama is
S9+10/20 but suptorted modulation. Something`s always wrong at
RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 13740, Aug 17 at 1327, this RHC is off, while 13700 remains.
Something`s always wrong at RHC.
15140, Aug 17 at 1330, this RHC is off, while a JBA signal remains on
15230. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** CUBA. 11850, Aug 18 at 0027, RHC is suptorted here, which makes the
11840 & 11860 spurs even harder to copy; much better modulation on //
11670, 11700, 11760, and 13740. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PHILIPPINES [non]. 9700, Aug 18 at 0024, S9-S6 fadey talk with that
upward lilt so typical of Burmese --- or rather Kachin, which must be
closely related, as this is the legacy RVA service at 0000-0027
transmitted via VATICAN since RVA quit its own shortwave; and
displaying SMG`s remarkable [cap]ability to serve audiences in the
~opposite direxion, about the closest we can get --- not very! --- to
a VR broadcast to North America direct. Then a suspiciously
Christian-sounding hymn before off (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1995 monitoring: Ivo Ivanov, Sofia,
Bulgaria, reports: ``GERMANY, World of Radio #1995 via Hamburger
Lokalradio on August 17:

0630-0700 6190 GOH 001 kW / 230 deg CeEu English Sat, weak signal``
Alan Gale, Whitworth, ROCHDALE, England, writes at 1451 UT Sat Aug 17:
``Hi Glenn, At last I am hearing World of Radio on 9485 kHz via HLR
here at home again today, though it's very weak and getting splattered
by the Romanian station. I can confirm that it's definitely you
though``
Yes, I have also been hearing me since 1431 via SDR in Finland you
recommended:
http://oh5ae.dyndns.org:8073/
Audible, but still heavy splash from 9490 Romania, while only the
latter can be heard via UTwente SDR.
Also confirmed Sat Aug 17 at 2100 on WRMI 9955, S9-S7, upcut at ``---
1995`` after IS & ID loop which just came on a minute earlier, I
think.
Also confirmed UT Sun Aug 18 at 0130 on WRMI 5850, VG, after ID and a
bit of ``Sandunga`` music fill overlapping.
Also confirmed UT Sun Aug 18 at 0324 underway on WA0RCR, 1860-AM, MO:
I can tell it`s me but too much storm noise S9+20/30 just south of
here in OK to tell where I am in the episode. Next:

** U S A [and non]. Kai Ludwig, Germany, has this Aug 17 response on
the WOR io group to my latest WBCQ AAAWWW report:
Ampegon --- Interesting developments --- First, it would be remarkable
if Weiner indeed lost the warranty also for the transmitter, because
it is a Continental. So has Ampegon delivered this product from a
competitor instead of own equipment?
https://twitter.com/AllanWBCQ/status/1146408801794514945
Then there is this:
https://ampegon.com/news/?id=106
Looks as if the scope of this deal can roughly be described as the
Turgi core business. This should include the product line of shortwave
transmitters, both the manufacturing of new ones (and now a picture
emerges what's really behind the babble about delayed transmitter
delivery from WMLK owners) and spare parts for all the equipment
installed under Ampegon, Thales, Thomcast, Thomson brands in the past.
And also for M2W mediumwave transmitters, for those who still have to
live with one. (Not to be confused with S7HP, which as a French
product is a completely different story.)
A bit mysterious is the mention also of Berlin in this PR, because it
is apparent that the Ampegon businesses in Germany are not included,
in particular the Ludwigshafen antenna division, formerly part of
Mannheim divisions of BBC, ABB, Thomcast. The same goes for what
remained of former Telefunken Sendertechnik, last known as Transradio,
which went bankrupt just two years ago. So much for the integration
that was planned by Ampegon, with the TRAM transmitters being the only
product they wanted to continue because they had, after withdrawing
the ill-fated M2W, no mediumwave transmitters to offer anymore.
I guess some scratching heads takes place now here and there. Kai
Ludwig`` (via Glenn Hauser, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9955, Aug 17 at 1315, NO signal from this WRMI, which is
supposed to run on Saturdays not only until 1400 but beyond. 9395 is
still on with TOMBS, 7570 with music.
15770, Aug 17 at 1341, no WRMI signal here either, but possibly it`s
propagation as Cuba is barely audible on 15230 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9395, UT Sun Aug 18 at 0100, WRMI with IDs for WTND-LP
Macomb, and ``You`ve got The Edge, WQNA, Springfield``, both in IL, as
Mason Vye in Ontario is opening his hour of nothing but rock music,
presumably obscure Canadian. 0111 testimonial from an Alabama listener
who sounds like he is saying ``Nathan Vay Show``. I see on the doomed
WQNA schedule that `The Mason Vye Show`` is correct when only
scheduled at 1 am [0600 UT] Monday. And on WTND at 7 pm Tuesday [0000
UT Wednesday]. Mason later adds WRMI IDs and is glad to be on SW.
Again this week, 0130-0131 his music rudely interrupted by Radio
Tirana IS and a fragment of their opening theme, before cutting back
to Vye rock. Apparently the automation keeps believing it should start
Albania now like most other nights, then thinx better of it.
As for WQNA being doomed:
https://wqnaradio.org/after-nearly-40-years-wqna-is-nearing-the-end/
And looking at the WTND schedule
http://wtnd.org/schedule/
I see something else familiar: remember Tom & Darryl?
``Friday 8 PM-12 AM [UT Sat 01-05] Tom and Darryl Talk Show -Also on
RFD - Radio Free Dishnuts (Call in at 309-588-4687)
http://dishnuts.net/ --- Tune in to hear Technology talk, music,
discussion and an occasional rant.`` WTND has a listen-live button
which may funxion. Repeats Wed at 16-20 UT on WTND. I am wondering if
WTND got the callsign originally to honor Tom `N` Darryl? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 5085, Sat Aug 17 circa 2320, I am first hearing signs of a
WTWW-2 signal here; QRX for `Theater Organ in the Ozarx` at 2330 ----
NO, rock music, allegedly on request, keeps playing past 2400, also on
the webcast. Maybe Ted got tired of replaying old episodes? And we
know where his musical priorities really lie. That`s OK; tho I love
theatre organ music especially in stereo, this timing always competed
with two or three other things I want to get --- not including pirates
Saturday nights this week since my high line noise level of S9+10/20
is back below 9 MHz! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
