exact right Alan,
re new 250/300 kW gear at Kimjae.

even during special broadcasts action, the selection of their meterband and
frequencies is beyond any knowledge of the propagation from Far East or
the listener situation in the reception area.
they realize only a fraction of their technical possibilities with the
Kimjae location gear.
Also the Ampegon TSW2300 tx, 300kW units reduced a little to 250kW maximal
only, due of their antenna matching limitation need.
The German ham operator DF8DX was once integrated in this
refurbishing work at Kimjae site in 2018.
This Ampegon (former Thomcast Thales) firm in Switzerland/Germany
re-built up/delivered some SW centers in Japan Hitachi-co-operation
in Yamata Japan, Kimjae South Korea, and also Ampegon RIGID antennas
in Taipei_Tamsui and Pao-Chung_Bau Jong ten 300 kW DRM possible featured
shortwave transmitters and twelve RIGID dipole broadcast antennas HR2/2/0.3
units at Taiwan island.
Also involved by 4 new x 500 kW SW units in Saudi Arabia,
and replaced some five analog shortwave transmitters units of 1995 year
at Kuwait Ministry of Information center in Al Kabd site.
Ampegon in addition upgraded three of Kuwait's 500 kW beasts
to full digital DRM integration.

KBS leave these ?PR Room? news posts on their Web site for a longer time
than is really necessary.
July 2019 was the date when KBS completed installation of a new series of
feeder lines (seen on Google Earth) and changes to the antenna switching
complex at the Kimjae station. I guess that the 250 kW transmitters can now
be connected to a greater number of antennas than before.
15575 kHz is also heard in the U.K. with a weak to fair signal at 1300 from
about May until early September. It is almost unusable after 1355 when VoA
Botswana begins on 15580.
The European service on 11810 has the same problem as the North American
frequency. It is only heard for a few months in summer, but completely
?dead? for the rest of the year. The power boost to 250 kW has made a
slight improvement in signal levels. When it does come through, the signal
is poor to fair and always with annoying flutter fading. I have tried to
persuade KBS to move English to 0800 on 15160, which would work well for
Europe throughout the year, but to no avail.
I?m pretty sure that the South American services don?t reach their target
either. KBS are using 11 MHz from 0100-0400, when according to propagation
charts, 17 MHz is the only band which would work. Their technical people
really need to do a course in radio propagation theory. Also, the number of
"dummy" entries they have on the ITU and HFCC databases is amazing - some of
their frequencies which are listed have not been used for some 30 years.
When I corresponded with their deputy Director of Engineering back in
2000/2001, he informed me that the only antenna for North America, is
designed for ?15-16 MHz band?. It is pictured on a brochure I have dating
back to the mid 1980s and is the only one of the main curtain antennas which
has not been rebuilt in recent years. It really needs to be replaced with a
multi-band design. Whether the funding will become available to do this in
the future is anyone?s guess. A shame they never installed a couple of
rotatable curtains (Alliss/Ampegon types), but the size of the antenna site
at Kimjae is very restricted.

Join me for ?The Friday Night Request Show Dance Party Thingy? fron KSKO
89.5 McGrath, Alaska to be broadcast on WRMI Shortwave.
It?ll take place Saturday July 10th 0300-0500UTC on 7780 to the east coast
US and Western Europe, 7730 to the west coast US, Canada along with Hawaii,
And the South Pacific (NZ, said, etc) and 4980 to the Caribbean and South
America.
I?ll be taking phone calls with requests during the show as it?s truly
LIVE. No station money was spent for this, It?s coming out of my pocket

** CHINA [and non]. Re my log of something 13920+ after CNR1 jammer
off 1400* June 28, could it be Sound of Hope? Inconclusive, but
Wolfgang Bueschel replies, ``TAIWAN 13919.991 kHz a tiny poor signal
noted at 1352 UT June 29 remotedly on Tokyo SDR unit.`` And previously
on March 7, 2012: ``13920.004 SOH Xi Wang Zhi Shen. Miaoli, Mandarin.
S=5, 0756 UT. 73 wb df5sx``.
My CNR1 jammer logs June 29 at 1421: 13530 JBA vs CODAR; 13130 weaker
Chinese; 12880 even weaker S5-S8; 12820 & 12500 JBA carriers (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. Something`s always wrong at RHC, and here is something
stranger than ever. June 29 at 1424 I start tuning for spurs on the 13
MHz band, first finding 13580 with extremely distorted music blob with
reconfirmed F# tone, that`s 120 kHz down from 13700 so next one should
be around 13640: yes, but as soon as I get there it vanishes while
13700 has been replaced by fax?? sounds at S9+10. Beepery goes on and
on and seems deliberate rather than random, some brief pauses. Reminds
me some of fax and some of SSTV. I cannot decode either. Briefly at
1430 there is a mixture of this and undermodulated music at S9+10/20.
One zero-beat is at 13703. At 1432 I check for more on the plus side:
13762 has F# blob, also weakers around 13825, 13886, 13948, trace
14013; and JBA trace circa 14075 where it collides with that hamband
beepery, whatever it be. Back to the fundamental, which is now
centered on 13705 with the SSTV/fax beepery; spurs now circa 13579,
13518 trace. 13705 continues past 1458. At 1459 I measure JBM carriers
with F# tones on 13761.73 and 13638.29. At 1502, 13700 is off, but now
13705 is playing RHC music, no beepery, 1503 dead air and 1504* off! I
wonder if the RHC broadcast sites, besides being shared with jammers,
spies, also be shared with utility services (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** KASHMIR [non]. 15170, it`s another Tuesday already June 29, so I
remember just in time at 1525 to check UTwente for what`s on this week
from IRRS: last week from 1500 it was ` Sounds Irish` music, and
before that it was Kashmir Civitas clandestine. It`s back to the
latter, S9+20/30, talk in presumed Urdu mentioning Kashmir with
strumming musical background. 1527.5 ``salaam aleikum`` greeting in
closing; 1528 a bit of other music and cut off air early? at 1528:15*,
soon back on for a split second before gone for good.
Others had been hearing this earlier: Arthur Pozner near NYC, Harold
Sellers in BC, and Paul Walker in AK.
Pozner says: ``Confirmed about the actual language. It is the same
"Kashmir" program in Urdu and was received in several countries with
various results. And a station ID came on in Russian: "This is
Inter-Radio Romania"!``
Sellers says: ``fair-good in southern British Columbia at 1519 with
presumed Kashmiri. Man with stringed instrument music in background
into an on location report of some kind. Missed sign off which was
before 1528. Was good at 1523`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. Quick check of nearby 25-watt ND beacon status, June 29
at 2255 UT: 255 SW Stillwater still off; 342 EI Enid and 515 PN Ponca
City still ON (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)
