ROMANIA. Re my July 30 logging of RRI English at 2200 on four
frequencies, one of them dead air:
https://www.rri.ro/en_gb/two_transmitters_discontinued-2687864
``Two transmitters discontinued
2023-07-31 13:39:00
Rom?nia Interna?ional
Two out of the five transmitters broadcasting RRI's programmes are
temporarily suspended as of 1 August
The Tiganesti transmitter centre [illustration]
Dear friends, the Radio Romania Board of Administrators decided to
temporarily suspend the use of 2 out of the 5 Radiocom shortwave
transmitters that ensure the broadcast of Radio Romania International
programmes, because of budget cuts. As of August 1, our programmes are aired
via one transmitter in ?ig?ne?ti, one in S?ftica (both of them near
Bucharest) and one in Galbeni (east). As soon as the budget of the
institution is restored, we will resume broadcasts on all 5 transmitters.
The RRI programmes in Romanian, English, French, German, Spanish, Russian,
Arabic, Chinese and Hebrew are affected. All of them may be received on only
one frequency instead of 2, as of August 1, 2023. The frequencies as well as
any other prospective changes operated by Radiocom further to reception
monitoring and to your feedback on reception quality will be announced in
our broadcasts, on our web page and on Facebook.
Budget restrictions also prompted a reduction of the night time power of
medium wave transmitters that broadcast Radio Romania News and Current
Affairs programmes and of some regional stations.
We invite you to follow RRI's programmes online at www.rri.ro (including on
demand), on SoundCloud, on Android and iOS apps, via TuneIn and via
satellite. You can find more details on our home page. You can also follow
us on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn and Spotify.``
Richard Langley replies: ``This message was included verbatim during the
half-hour English broadcast today (31 July) starting nominally at 20:30 UTC
although there was a minute or so delay for the start today at least for the
DRM transmission on 11975 kHz. Remains to be seen if the DRM broadcasts will
be axed as of tomorrow.``
July 31 at 2217, `The History Show` is already 50% - only 11800 & 9790 on
air, cut 11650 & 9740. Was all AM, no DRM this hour. If it`s all about the
SW power bill, and have really been running 300 kW each, which not keep them
all going at 150? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

Dear Dr. Biener,

throughout the years.
There is always something to correct.
Best regards,

First of all, I would like to thank Mauno Ritola for the ongoing updates for
the WRTH
and also the gifts of Wolfgang B?schel to the hobby community.
Alexander Busneag who used to extensively monitor RRI may also be in the
process of monitoring the schedule.
I also embarked on a 24 h monitoring project on the schedule of the Romanian
external service.
To avoid confusion, I attach a docx-file of my results. I can confirm more of
the current schedule
as actually on the air (green). Two minor differences need further
clarification (red).
00.00-02.00 Uhr: 9730 kHz (GAL 300 kW, 310?) Rum?nisch (1 August)
as in WRTH update, Wolfgang B?schel reports 11945 (which is 02.00 h local so
maybe
my expectation fooled the sleepy monitor)
18.00-18.30 Uhr: 5910 kHz (SAF 100 kW, 270?) Italienisch (1 August) Biener says
not DRM,
while WRTH update says DRM (Dr Hansjoerg Biener)

``Two transmitters discontinued

Rom?nia Interna?ional
Two out of the five transmitters broadcasting RRI's programmes are
temporarily suspended as of 1 August
The Tiganesti transmitter centre [illustration]
Dear friends, the Radio Romania Board of Administrators decided to
temporarily suspend the use of 2 out of the 5 Radiocom shortwave
transmitters that ensure the broadcast of Radio Romania International
programmes, because of budget cuts. As of August 1, our programmes are aired
via one transmitter in ?ig?ne?ti, one in S?ftica (both of them near
Bucharest) and one in Galbeni (east). As soon as the budget of the
institution is restored, we will resume broadcasts on all 5 transmitters.
The RRI programmes in Romanian, English, French, German, Spanish, Russian,
Arabic, Chinese and Hebrew are affected. All of them may be received on only
one frequency instead of 2, as of August 1, 2023. The frequencies as well as
any other prospective changes operated by Radiocom further to reception
monitoring and to your feedback on reception quality will be announced in
our broadcasts, on our web page and on Facebook.
Budget restrictions also prompted a reduction of the night time power of
medium wave transmitters that broadcast Radio Romania News and Current
Affairs programmes and of some regional stations.
We invite you to follow RRI's programmes online at www.rri.ro (including on
demand), on SoundCloud, on Android and iOS apps, via TuneIn and via
satellite. You can find more details on our home page. You can also follow
us on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn and Spotify.``
Richard Langley replies: ``This message was included verbatim during the
half-hour English broadcast today (31 July) starting nominally at 20:30 UTC
although there was a minute or so delay for the start today at least for the
DRM transmission on 11975 kHz. Remains to be seen if the DRM broadcasts will
be axed as of tomorrow.``
July 31 at 2217, `The History Show` is already 50% - only 11800 & 9790 on
air, cut 11650 & 9740. Was all AM, no DRM this hour. If it`s all about the
SW power bill, and have really been running 300 kW each, which not keep them
all going at 150? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. Further random check of 6754 USB during the night of August
1 UT, and of 15034 USB during the following day have not found any
signals from CHR, Trenton Military VOLMET. Nor on August 2. EiBi shows
one more Trenton frequency, 11232, not VOLMET but presumably for 2-way
contacts; anything there? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 11760, August 2 at 0629, RHC Spanish prolongation here
tonight, S9+20 and good modulation for a change, no spurs either.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** EGYPT. 9440.004, August 2 at 2155, R. Cairo horribly distorted
English, first reading by UTwente, maybe synching on a mod peak other
than carrier center, then settling on usual 9439.995 at S9+20/40;
totally unlistenable. Something`s always egregious in Egypt (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** MALDIVES [non]. 11620, August 2 from a few sex past *1500 open
carrier on, S6/S9 direct; finally at 1502 English ID as VOMK,
undermodulated; 1503+ switch to YL in presumed Dhivehi with better
modulation. This is totally normal daily reception despite target
opposite side of globe; and K-index at 15 is 4, which should be
disturbing high-latitude paths. 1529 quick ID and s/off in English
before 1530*. For over a year this has been listed as Uzbekistan site
and some accept that, but I do not. Tashkent does not provide such
good reliable reception here for any other broadcast, and V. of
Martyrs Korea will not disclose true site for some reason. Reasonable
guesses are Taiwan or Reach Beyond Australia, which carries some other
VOMK broadcasts. In fact, the latest WRTH update of August 1 now shows
under Korea South, 11630knx for this, i.e. Kununurra, Australia. It`s
still missing from HFCC; Aoki says Tashkent, and EiBi as clandestine,
/XUU = unknown. TDoA direxion-finding in past sometimes pointed to one
or the other, but is extremely unreliable. At 1525 I decide to try it
again, while hearing it well via Western Australia KiwiSDR: picking 3
sites: Hanoi, Qatar and South Africa. It runs and comes up with ``most
likely`` 12.00 S, 18.00 E, i.e. Kuemba, ANGOLA. Yeah, surely not. And
what are the chances of a true reading landing on exact .00
co?rdinates? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA [and non?]. Large tropo blob to the east of Enid, August 2
at 0456 UT when I start checking. BAD signals on RF: 7, 9, 11, 14, 16,
17, 18, 24, 26, 28, 29, 34, 36. Note that 7, 18, 24 and 29 are major
`local` OKC signals which must be disrupted by DX QRM: extremely
unusual especially for KOKH 24, probably by KFSM Fort Smith? No, KFSM
is on both low-power 24 and high-power 18. 16 KOCM is normally on the
BAD side. 17 is also Enid`s only local: can`t be sure whether it`s off
or QRMed, but next morning it`s normal. Only decodes around 0500:
RF 31, KOET 3-1 = OETA Eufaula
RF 20, KQCW 19-1 for Tulsa
RF 21, KHBS-DT 40-1 Fort Smith AR from OK site, so explore all subs:
40-2 ARK-CW, 40-3 MeTV-AR, 40-4 STORY. These match rabbitears listings
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SPAIN. 17855, Wednesday August 2 at 2200, token English from SNR:
VG into Maryland SDR, but part 2 about famous football players, no
news. Geez, isn`t anything significant happening in Spain? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 11785.009, Aug 2 at 2200, VOT English VG into UTwente and
sufficient direct, even good modulation, usual features but am dozing
thru most of it, having missed naptime earler this afternoon. Off
before 2300 (Glenn Hauser, 104F OK, WOR)

CUBA and as usual in past months a reserve TX unit of RadioCuba in use on

(wb df5sx, wwdxc BC-DX TopNews Aug 3)
COLOMBIA. 5909.952, July 27 at 0641, tropical music at S8/S9,
better signal than usual from always off-frequency Alcarav?n Radio.
Brief burst of ``running water`` ute QRM.
Manuel M?ndez in Spain reports: ``Alcaravan Radio 5910 on air again
after about 10 days out. Log in Oleiros, La Coru?a, NW of Spain,
Sangean ATS-909X, cable antenna, 8 meters. COLOMBIA, 5910, Alcarav?n
Radio, Puerto Lleras, 0450-0526, 27-07, religious and Latin American
songs, Spanish, religious comments, Colombian songs ?Llaneras?.
25432.``
However, I don`t think it had been totally off. In regular bandscans I
had been crossing a JBA offset carrier, but not logged. Now there is
also a JBA carrier on 6010, probably Brasil rather than still inactive
sibling station LV de tu Conciencia.
Ron Howard also replied: ``Greetings, Manuel, from California. July
27, at 0742 & 0910 UT, heard a decent level carrier on 5910 kHz, but
no audio at all; normally in the past I always had good audio here.``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2201)
CUBA. 6100, July 27 at 0646, undermodulated Spanish with
humbuzzwhine, no doubt RHC where something`s always wrong.
5025, July 27 at 0650, S9+20/30 of dead air except for some humbuzz,
from R. Rebelde, something`s always wrong at Radio Cuba. David
Crawford, FL replied to my previous reports, July 27 at 0156 UT:
``Tonight's treat is what sounds like video buzz, rather than the
recently-typical Rebelde FM audio, on 5025. And after the one reported
active "sunset" session, HM01 has been quiet again since, at least for
the local midday and sunset schedules. I have not checked the
madrugada scheduled times and freqs.``
Ron Howard, CA replies later on July 27: Cuba (5025) noted at 0743 &
0909 UT, with strong carrier, along with a strong hum, but no audio.
Ron`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2201)
CUBA. 11760, July 28 at 0715, overtime RHC Spanish S9+10 but JBM.
Something`s always wrong at RHC. It`s the only log I make this
late-night due to horrible S9+10 noise level all over the bands:
suspect from neighbor and/or thru power lines. I may have to rely even
more on remote receivers, but many of them also have `line noise`
problems. Abated by 15 UT enough to tell that propagation is now
degraded (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
CUBA. 15230, July 28 at 2316, RHC S9/+10 of dead air. Something`s
always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
CUBA. 11760, July 29 at 0704, RHC extension still on, in Spanish,
S9/+10 and somewhat undermodulated. Also unusually with dirty
parasitic spurs plus/minus 3 kHz. Something`s always wrong at RHC
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
CUBA. 6000, July 31 at 0642, RHC English JBM with humwhine,
S9+20/30. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
CUBA. 11950, July 31 at 2349, S9/S4 of dead air from `Mesa Redonda`
alt. Spanish frequency; supposed to be // 6000, which at 2355 is DA or
maybe JBM. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
CUBA. 13650, July 31 at 2347, all-music CRI `Portuguese` relay, now
with dirty spurs about 2.5 kHz plus/minus. Something`s always wrong at
RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OOK, WOR)
CUBA. 11670, August 1 at 0646, tonight`s extra RHC, Spanish,
S9+10/20 and undermodulated; also with squeal and dirty spurs about
plus/minus 3 kHz. Same symptom I logged July 29 at 0704 on 11760.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
CUBA. 11760, August 2 at 0629, RHC Spanish prolongation here
tonight, S9+20 and good modulation for a change, no spurs either.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
