[HCDX] UK loggings

2007-07-14 Thread Walter Salmaniw
This is the first of a series of DX reports during my recent travels in Europe. 
 From Vancouver, my first stop was Stansted, UK near London where I spent a 
wonderful night at a small BB and dx'd using 
my small Kaito 1103 portable and it's provided random wire antenna.  
Interesting recordings were saved to my Edirol R-09 mp3 recorder via stereo 
cable.  Subsequent reports will be added from
Gdynia, Poland (on the Baltic Sea) and then from various sites in Ukraine 
during the period from June 22 to July 11, 2007.  Compared to the west coast of 
North America there are vastly more
stations to monitor!  I was expecting to hear a lot more DRM hash, but this 
didn't seem to be the case (or perhaps I wasn't looking for it)Walt 
Salmaniw, now safely home in Victoria, BC.

ALBANIA 13720, 2002-, Radio Tirana Jun 22 Very good reception, although 
somewhat weak modulation in English with local Albanian news.  Interesting that 
7465 is also in English, although much weaker, but seemingly not in //. 
(Salmaniw, Stantsed, UK)

BANGLADESH 7185, 1745-, Voice of Islam Jun 22 A presumed logging, at only very 
weak level.  During my entire stay, I never did hear them at anything but a 
poor level. (Salmaniw, Stantsed, UK)

BELARUS 7390, 2018-, Radio Belarus Jun 22 Another station I follow with 
interest.  Before 20:00 they're in German, but switch to English between 20:00 
and 22:00.  7390 is the best frequency at good to very  good levels, whereas 
250 kw 7105 was heard at good level, and 7440 only at poor to fair levels.  
Russian at 22:09 on 7390 at excellent level. (Salmaniw, Stantsed, UK)

BELARUS 11930, 0405-, Ist Channel of National Belarussian Radio Jun 23 A 
consistently, but infrequently reported summer frequency often well heard at 
this time in North America as well.  Very good reception with ID at this time, 
and then into pop music. (Salmaniw, Stantsed, UK)

CYPRUS 5930, 2215-, Cyprus Broadcasting Corporation Jun 22 Very good reception 
in Greek with their weekend service to the UK.  // 7210 is good with some 
cochannel interference, while listed 9760 was not heard. (Salmaniw, Stantsed, 
UK)

CZECH REPUBLIC 11600, 2102-, Radio Prague Jun 22 Excellent reception in Czech 
with news. (Salmaniw, Stantsed, UK)

EGYPT 9990, 2120-, Radio Cairo Jun 22 Initially heard with low modulation 
Arabic music.  English ID at 2122 as, the 'World Service of Radio Cairo'.  Good 
otherwise. (Salmaniw, Stantsed, UK)

FRANCE 13680, 0507-, RFI Jun 23 Excellent reception in French, so the listed 
English half-hour must be Monday to Friday only.  // 15160 at good level. 
(Salmaniw, Stantsed, UK)

GERMANY 7265, 1745-, Polish Radio Jun 22 Armchair 5-5-5 signal with English 
program.  // 7140 fair to good.  This was the first station heard during a stop 
over at Stansted, UK on my way to Poland and Ukraine.  I used my Kaito 1103 
along with it's random wire antenna. (Salmaniw, Stantsed, UK)

GERMANY 9695, 1800-, Polish Radio Jun 22 I investigated the recently started 
Hebrew service.  I don't recall seeing any postings on this service in the 
past.  On this day and the next day, all that was heard was a program of 
continuous Polish music (the following day was identical), beginning with 'I 
did it my way' sung in Polish.  No sign-off announcements when they left the 
air in mid-music at 18:28.  Very good level.  I wondered at the time whether 
this service perhaps didn't really get off the ground, but I did hear a normal 
broadcast later during my visit (will be reported later as I'm transcribing 
chronologically). (Salmaniw, Stantsed, UK)

ICELAND 12115, 1755-, Rikisutvarpid Jun 22 Tone at 17:56 and then into a 
immediate talk in Icelandic at fair to good level, but with their terrible less 
than phone quality audio feed. (Salmaniw, Stantsed, UK)

IRAN 6205, 2018-, VOIRI Jun 22 Another station that was consistently well heard 
in Europe. English at very good level in English.  // heard:  9925 (fair), 7205 
(fair), 6255 (via Sitkunai, Lithuania--good).  Listed 9800 not heard. 
(Salmaniw, Stantsed, UK)

LITHUANIA 11515, 0706-, VOIRI Jun 23 Excellent reception in Italian, via the 
Sitkunai transmitter.  Another very strong station widely heard throughout my 
stay in Europe. (Salmaniw, Stantsed, UK)

NIGERIA 15120, 1749-, Voice of Nigeria Jun 22 Very good reception in English.  
When rechecked at 20:20, they were no longer on. (Salmaniw, Stantsed, UK)

NORWAY 12035, 1753-, SWR Africa Jun 22 Excellent reception with ID in English 
and giving their internet website at swrafrica.com.  I never did hear the other 
// frequencies very well during my stay. (Salmaniw, Stantsed, UK)

PORTUGAL 5945, 0430-, Deutsche Welle Jun 23 Armchair copy with Ukrainian 
program, while Rampisham on 7345 was heard at fair level. (Salmaniw, Stantsed, 
UK)

ROMANIA 11735, 1750-, Radio Romania International Jun 22 Very good to excellent 
reception in English with only the slightest hint of a cochannel station.  // 
9535 only fair, however. (Salmaniw,

DXERS UNLIMITED
Dxers Unlimited’s weekend edition for July 14-15 2007
By Arnie Coro
radio amateur CO2KK

Hi amigos radioaficionados around the world and also those of you now in 
space orbit around the Earth … I am Arnie Coro, your host here at Radio 
Havana Cuba’s twice weekly radio hobby program… It’s certainly nice to 
have you listening to the show, and I hope you enjoy every minute of 
it…Your comments and ideas on how to make Dxers Unlimited a better 
program are most welcome at my direct e-mail address : [EMAIL PROTECTED] 
Now here is item one, very low solar activity continues …
Sporadic E propagation reports continue to come in from North America, 
Central America and the Caribbean, as well as from Africa and Europe. 
Recently received e mail messages talk about excellent VHF bands 
openings, and one particular recent opening that took place on the 6th 
of July, reaching maximum useable frequencies up to the 1.25 meters or 
222 megaHertz amateur band, that made them lots of VHF operators very 
happy indeed, as this was their first ever opening on 222 megaHertz, and 
for some other newcomers to VHF Dxing, their first two meters band 
opening via the ionosphere …
The extremely high free electron density at the height of the sporadic E 
layer also made possible TV DX signals on NTSC channels 7 to 13 , that 
operate from 174 to 216 megaHertz.
Sporadic E openings are expected to continue during the next several 
days, and some of them maybe happening even during the late evening 
hours.. I do insist that there seems to be some sort of relation between 
periods of very low solar activity and sporadic E events !!!
Item two today, will be our Technical Topics section, then item three 
time slot is for ASK ARNIE, and the pending visit to my workshop will be 
the fourth item of this program that will come to an end with our 
exclusive and not copyrighted , in the public domain HF plus low band 
VHF 30 to 60 megaHertz propagation update and forecast.
I am Arnie Coro, radio amateur CO2KK, your friend in sunny Havana, 
together with my sound engineer and producer Jose Costa Pupo, both of us 
ready to continue providing you with the most up to date radio hobby 
related information, as the weekend edition of Dxers Unlimited continues 
in a few seconds..
;;;
Si amigos, your radio is tuned to one of Radio Havana Cuba’s English 
language broadcast frequencies, this is Dxers Unlimited, our twice 
weekly radio hobby program, and here is our TECHNICAL TOPICS section of 
the show.The cascode regenerative detector circuit presented here at our 
mid week edition brought a lot of e-mail requests for the 40 kilobytes 
file in dot jpg format that shows the schematic circuit diagram of Udo 
Peter’s unusual radio receiver… Several listeners have asked for more 
details of this circuit, so here they are/// in the first place, be 
aware that the cascode regenerative detector was built using a dual 
triode vacuum tube, of which there are many types that can will perform 
nicely in this circuit, but, if you don’t have a dual triode in the same 
glass envelope, just use two identical triodes,and the circuit will work 
quite well also. Among the triodes tested here in my prototype are the 
12AT7 or ECC81 ,that has proven to be an excellent performer, the 12AU7 
or ECC82 that showed somewhat less gain as the frequency to which the 
radio was tuned went up but worked very well up to around 15 megahertz 
or so, as a 12AU7 according to the vacuum tube manuals is nothing but 
two 6C4 triodes packed inside the same glass envelope, and also tried 
out the ECC85, of which I don’t remember its American standards 
designation, and that proved to be the best performer, providing 
excellent sensitivity on the 27 megaHertzs Citizens band, a frequency 
range that is usually very active when sporadic E propagation events are 
in progress. I was able to pick up lots of Citizens Band skip signals on 
AM, and even some of the many so called OUTBANDERS, that operate between 
the top end of the Citizens band and the beginning of the 10 meter band, 
that is from about 27.4 to 28 megaHertz… Another interesting finding 
when experimenting with the cascode detector regenerative receiver was 
that changing the values of the first triode’s grid resistor and 
capacitor had a significant effect on the performance of the radio !!! 
Using typical values for classic regeneratives, like 100 picofarads and 
1 megaohm , provided inferior performance, and the radio’s sensitivity 
and selectivity improved considerable when the value of those two 
components was changed to 22 picofarads for the capacitor and 10 
megaohms for the resistor… My advice is that you aim at using the 
highest possible quality component for that capacitor, because there is 
no doubt that it is vital element of the circuit. The other component I 
talked about during the midweek edition of Dxers Unlimited, was the 
regeneration control potentiometer, and again, let me insist in the fact

 NORWAY 12035, 1753-, SWR Africa Jun 22 Excellent reception
 with ID in English and giving their internet website at
 swrafrica.com.  I never did hear the other // frequencies
 very well during my stay. (Salmaniw, Stantsed, UK)

Main lobe of the two others from Russia is towards southerly at 180 degrees.
Stantsed is about 288 degrs from Russia to be far out.


 RUSSIA 9890, 2012-, Voice of Russia World Service Jun 22 Armchair
 copy in English with their Moscow Mailbag program. // 12070 equally
 strong.  Seems to me that both the content and strength of
 transmitters, including the use of multiple frequencies, has
 returned to the bad old days of the cold war.  VORWS is nothing like
 it was 5 years ago when they were often more difficult to hear, with
 only a handful of transmitters.  Pre-Putin, they were also much more
 pro-Western.  Today they seem to be constantly flexing their muscles,
 like they used to.  VORWS consitently was very well and widely heard
 throughout my European travels. (Salmaniw, Stantsed, UK)


Walt, fine estimation.

But like an echo, less-Western policy by Russia has something to do with
stupid Bush family decisions on Iraq/Iran hot and cold war and amongst
USgovt rocket plans matter in Czechia and Poland...

[HCDX] Shiokaze 9485

2007-07-14 Thread Walter Salmaniw
TAIWAN 9485, 1301-, Shiokaze Sea Breeze Jul 14 Very good reception with their 
usual sign-on in English as reported previously by Ron Howard.  'This is 
Shiokaze, Sea Breeze  from Tokyo Japan'  Some splatter on lower side, so 
USB works best by far.  Much better than yesterday.  The same announcement was 
repeated twice, and then a third time with just the basic ID and then into more 
detailed story of a particular abductee.  At 13:30 directly into Radio Free 
Chosun programming. (Salmaniw, Victoria, BC)

[HCDX] Propagation Program

2007-07-14 Thread Hector E. Perez
Good evening folks. Just recently, I purchased a Propagation Program called DX 
Tool Box. I wonder if up here there is anyone that also uses same program. I am 
also interested in knowing if there is a forum at the so called Yahoo Groups 
for this program in particular.

[HCDX] European loggings from Gdansk, Poland

2007-07-14 Thread Walter Salmaniw
This is the second part of my European journey.  I flew from Stansted to Gdansk 
on Ryanair (not recommended!) and occupied a 6th floor flat at a naval academy 
residence between the 
23rd and 28th of June in Gdynia, Poland.  Same receiverKaito 1103 with it's 
short random wire antenna, but the usual RF noise problems that any high rise 
experiences.  Following this will come 
further sessions all across Ukraine, including a stint at the infamous 
Ukrainian DXer and good friend, Vlad Titarev in Kremenchuk, in central Ukraine.

AUSTRALIA 13680, 0520-, CVC International Jun 27 An interesting clash on this 
frequency with two stations virtually at equal strength.  First is CVC with the 
'Scope' program from Australia in English, and also RFI in English (direct from 
France?) to Africa with mostly news about Zimbabwe.  Both were heard at good 
level. (Salmaniw, Gdynia, Poland)

BELARUS 7390, 2000-, Radio Station Belarus Jun 23 Very good reception with 
sign-on in English as, 'You are listening to Radio Station Belarus', and then 
into the news. (Salmaniw, Gdynia, Poland)

BULGARIA 9900, 2100-, Radio Varda Jun 24 Jingle ID for Radio Varda, and a time 
check for 23:00 in Bulgarian, then into news.  Good to very good reception. 
(Salmaniw, Gdynia, Poland)

CANADA 7335, 0308-, CHU Jun 25 One of few time signal stations heard in Europe. 
 I never did hear WWV or WWVH.  CHU was heard weakly under cochannel Vatican 
Radio in Ukrainian which itself was heard at fair to good level. (Salmaniw, 
Gdynia, Poland)

CHINA 13760, 1815-, CRI Jun 23 I was looking for Pyongyang, but instead heard 
CRI in English with an armchair 5-5-5 copy.  CRI is heard everywhere in Europe, 
across all bands, and usually at very strong and local levels.  I'd swear they 
were transmitting from across the street.  One of few broadcasters dominating 
the spectrum.  I never did hear Pyongyang during my 3 week European stay. 
(Salmaniw, Gdynia, Poland)

FRANCE 15605, 1605-, Radio France International Jun 24 RFI in English, and on a 
Sunday.  Good reception with Nigerian news.  ID at 16:06.  // 17605 good, and 
15160 poor. (Salmaniw, Gdynia, Poland)

HUNGARY 6025, 1900-, Radio Budapest Jun 23 Multilingual IDs for Radio Budapest, 
well over a cochannel, and then into English with, 'On shortwave, satellite, 
WRN, and NPR this is Radio Budapest Hungary signing-on'.  Good level and // to 
equally good 3975.  No mention of them d/c their foreign language broadcasts on 
30 June. (Salmaniw, Gdynia, Poland)

HUNGARY 6195, 0252-, Radio Budapest Jun 25 Good to very good in English with a 
DX program about Esperanto programs until 0258.  Again, no mention of the 30th. 
(Salmaniw, Gdynia, Poland)

ISRAEL 15760, 1558-, IBA Kol Israel Jun 24 IS, and then into Yiddish.  One of 
very few broadcasters using this colourful language!  Very Germanic sounding.  
Excellent armchair copy, and almost immediately into a medley of Yiddish songs. 
 Very enjoyable, even if one can't follow the speech.  // 9345 good, 11590 
poor. (Salmaniw, Gdynia, Poland)

ISRAEL 17600, 0330-, IBA Kol Israel Jun 24 Fair reception of English broadcast. 
 // 11590 at very good level, and 9345 at good level. (Salmaniw, Gdynia, Poland)

LATVIA 9290, 1955-, Latvia Today Jun 24 A presumed logging with English talk 
into Latvian folk music until 2001 when the transmitter cut without any 
announcements.  Only poor/fair.  I suspect I was too close to the transmitter 
in Gdynia/Gdansk to be able to hear them very well. (Salmaniw, Gdynia, Poland)

LIBYA 17870, 1537-, Voice of Africa Jun 24 Good reception with program in 
English and ID ending the English news and into a long-winded commentary.  Occ 
deep fades.  Another Voice of Africa ID at 15:44, and into a reading from the 
Green Book.  Did not hear any other // frequencies. (Salmaniw, Gdynia, Poland)

LITHUANIA 6225, 1533-, Radio Racja Jun 24 Good reception shortly after their 
sign-on in Belarussian.  A nice choral jingle for 'Radio Racja'. (Salmaniw, 
Gdynia, Poland)

LITHUANIA 6255, 2243-, The Mighty KBC Jun 23 ID in English, with mostly 
non-stop techno music.  ID was as follows:  'We are the Mighty KBC, 
broadcasting from Lithuania.  Write us at [EMAIL PROTECTED]'.  There were 
several other addresses given.  Good to very good reception.  I did not check 
for the 500 kw MW //.  6255 is 100 kw, of course.  Ended transmission at 22:59. 
(Salmaniw, Gdynia, Poland)

POLAND 6105, 1950-, Radio Racja Jun 23 ID in Belarussian at good to very good 
levels.  The transmitter doesn't sound at all like the old Radio Polonia 
transmitters, so is it certain that this transmission is direct from Poland?  
Interesting jingle, 'Lay, lay, lay, Moya krajina Belarus'. (Salmaniw, Gdynia, 
Poland)

PRIDNISTROVYE 5965, 1600-, Radio of the PMR Jun 27 Good reception in English 
with sign-on ID as the 'Radio of the PMR'.  At 16:20, they announced the wrong 
frequency as 6235 (a B06 frequency, I think), and then continued on in English. 
 So-called break-a-way 

[HCDX] Part 3 of European loggings

2007-07-14 Thread Walter Salmaniw
I've now moved on to Ukraine, and specifically to western Ukraine, land of many 
castles and gently rolling hills.  The area was rural with minimal RF noise, 
although our time was short to dx.  Here is a smattering of results from this 
part of my trip.  From here we travelled south and west into the Carpathian 
Mountainsa fantastically beautiful region of mountains, akin to Switzerland 
in my opinion (but at a tenth of the price).  I predict that when this part of 
Ukraine becomes discovered by tourists, it'll become very popular!

ABKHAZIA 9494.8, 0416-, Abkhaz Radio Jun 29 Easy-listening music with a 
somewhat distorted signal.  EZL music.  Presumably Abkhazian.  Female announcer 
took a phone call at 04:26 with, 'Allo'.  Probable ID at 04:32 as Apsua Radio.  
'Abkhazia' heard with a reverb effect at 04:54.  By 05:00 pretty much 
impossible to hear due to adjacent channel on 9490. (Salmaniw, Brody Ukraine)

BELARUS 7105, 1950-, Radio Station Belarus Jun 28 Excellent reception in 
Polish, then into English at 20:00.  // 7390 almost as strong, while 7440, 
although equally strong, but much lower in modulation and with some hum.  This 
was my first logging from Ukraine.  In this case, near Brody a small city to 
the east of Ukraine's western capital of Lviv.  After this batch, we left for 
the Carpathian mountains which I'll report next. (Salmaniw, Brody Ukraine)

HUNGARY 6025, 2100-, Radio Budapest Jun 29 I'm not sure if anyone else noticed 
this, but the multilingual IDs during the IS included languages that were used 
in the past by Radio Budapest, for example Ukrainian.  I hadn't noticed this on 
previous days. Announced a program from the archives, but first news in 
English.  Very good reception, but a cochannel English religious station could 
just be heard.  Nothing heard on my listed // of 9525. (Salmaniw, Brody Ukraine)

HUNGARY 6195, 0230-, Radio Budapest Jun 30 Presumably the last broadcast in 
foreign languages by Radio Budapest was obliterated here in Ukraine by the 
BBCWS in English cochannel.  I could make out 'Thank You' at 02:57 and then off 
the air. (Salmaniw, Brody Ukraine)

RUSSIA 15110, 0410-, Tatarstan Wave Jun 29 Good reception with sign-on in Tatar 
and Russian.  Checked again at 08:15 and at that time, 11925 is heard at 
excellent level with news in Russian and an ID. (Salmaniw, Brody Ukraine)

UNID 6335, 0412-, Voice of Iraqi Kurdistan Jun 29 Fair level, with a station 
playing middle east style music.  Checking my WRTH shows that this might be 
Voice of Iraqi Kurdistan, presumably from Iran. (Salmaniw, Brody Ukraine)

[HCDX] Glenn Hauser logs July 11-15

2007-07-14 Thread Glenn Hauser
** CHINA. CRI, 9675, 1300 UT July 11, opening Russian hour with usual Chinese
ID, then into Russian, Mezhdunarodnaya Radio Kitaya (MPK). At the outset and
during the news I thought the announcers were not speaking with a Chinese
accent like so many of their English announcers do, but during some feature at
1344 there did seem to be some accent. This is a regular here, and I`ll bet
it`s inadvertently aimed USward. HFCC says:

9675 1300 1400 33,34 SZG 500 37 1234567 250307 281007 D CHN CRI RTC 

So target is SE Russia, i.e. the Pacific coast and inland from there; azimuth
37 carries on to NAm.

[non]. On July 11, 9570 via Cuba was back on, in Mandarin before 1300, English
after. Again the modulation sounded better and could not hear any spurs
bothering RA here (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** LAOS [non]. Listened to Hmong Lao Radio at 1325-1335 Sat July 14 on 11785
via WHRI. Impassioned speaker, and judging from the frequent English terms
mixed in, about the political situation in Laos and the need for reform, to get
rid of the commies. I wonder if it was Vang Pao himself? Certainly qualifies as
a clandestine, tho this particular transmission is for the Hmong in Hminnesota
and elsewhere in NAm (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. Another check for XEYU, July 11: before 1300 I could hear nothing
but RHC on 9600, no het audible. But at 1309 there was some weak Spanish talk,
news, audible on 9599.2 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SPAIN. Since July 7, RNE Radio 3 has replaced La Salamandra, one of our
favorites, Sat 18-19 UT on webcast, with El Guirigay, another musical program.
There was nothing on their website about it last week, but now there is. Not
clear if this is temporarily for summer vacation period, or permanent. What
does Guirigay mean? I wasn`t sure how to spell it until now. Googling, it could
refer to a dance form, and there are also homosexual undertones (as in Queer y
Gay??) but my Random House dixionary merely translates it as gibberrish,
uproar, babble. The show, not sure if a repeat or different, also airs at 18-19
UT Sundays. BTW, the real audio version of R3 was down today so had to go with
the inferior WM feed. Anyway, much more entertaining is Adventures in Sound on
KOOP Austin webcast, same time 18-19 UT Sat (Glenn Hauser, OK, July 14, DX
LISTENING DIGEST) 

** TURKEY. Made a point of catching VOT`s Saturday July 14 broadcast on the
webcast at 0300 UT Sunday July 15 --- at opening gave timecheck as 21:30 local!
Which means this is a playback of the 1830 UT `news` and rest of broadcast.
Also announced English transmission schedule, including 2030 UT between 2200
and 0300, still out of order, having merely crossed out the wrong `2330` time I
told them about. But they did say the DX Corner was coming up later, before
Turkish Music show.

The DX Corner axually ran from 0325 to 0335, so that`s :25-:35 or :55-:05 into
the broadcasts. Guess what --- it was indistinguishable from a mailbag. If this
is a DX program, what is the Letterbox show on Wednesdays?? All the YL host did
was read reception reports from listeners, including Tim Doyle in Australia who
is 61 but looks 50 despite having asthma since childhood, plans to sit for ham
exam this year now that CW is no longer required; also listeners from India,
Ukraine, Turkey, Pakistan, Australia, Japan. Mentioned that so far they have
received ten entries for the essay contest, reward for which is a 12-day
all-expense-paid tour across Turkey. Confirmed that show is biweekly and will
be back in two weeks, so we are making that adjustment in DX/SWL/MEDIA
PROGRAMS.

BTW, it was DXLD 7-020 where we had the laboriously compiled VOT program
schedule for this year, not 6-036 mentioned a week ago! And the folder this
time apparently covers the full year as it only shows two changes in features
for the second semester:

FRIDAY:
The Harem [July-Dec: New Dimensions of the Armenian Issue], Turkish 
Album, From History // Turkish Capital

SATURDAY:
Outlook, From Our Correspondents, From History // DX Corner, Masters 
of Turkish Pop Music

SUNDAY:
From the World, In the Wake of a Contest [July-Dec: Skilled Hands], 
Blue Voyage, Turkish on Radio, Turkish Music

But this is now wrong, as New Dims of the Arm Issue is on the Saturday/UT
Sunday broadcast, not the Friday/UT Sat; and the music show on Sat is called
just ``Turkish Music`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

[HCDX] European Loggings: Part IV from the Carpathian mountains

2007-07-14 Thread Walter Salmaniw
The next part of the journey involved driving into the lovely Carpathian 
Mountains.  This was the quietest RF area of my travels.  If you've never 
experienced low (no) RF, than it's a real treat.No noise between channels 
at all.  One assumes that there is a technical glitch, but there 
isn't.provides incredibly good S/N ratios.  No wonder our grandparents and 
great grandparents routinely heard trans-Oceanic stations without a lot of 
difficulty.

ABKHAZIA 9495, 0359-, Apsua Radio Jul 01 Brief IS, then ID'd as Apsua Radio 
with muddy but strong audio.  The frequency is normally 9494.75 but I was not 
able to record the frequency any more accurately on the Kaito 1103. (Salmaniw, 
Transcarpathia, Ukraine)

ALBANIA 7425, 0245-, Radio Tirana Jul 01 Excellent reception of the English 
North American service.  // 6115 also very good. (Salmaniw, Transcarpathia, 
Ukraine)

BOTSWANA 4930, 0329-, VOA Jul 01 Earth and Sky program in English, followed by 
issues in the news.  Good level. (Salmaniw, Transcarpathia, Ukraine)

GERMANY 9695, 1820-, Polish Radio Jul 02 My earlier observation was incorrect.  
Here there was a full program in Hebrew from Poland, via Germany.  The station 
calls itself, 'Kol Polin' and is frequently mentioned.  Very good signal except 
for a small amount of splatter from 9690.  ID'd at 18:28. (Salmaniw, 
Transcarpathia, Ukraine)

HUNGARY 6025, 1859-, Radio Budapest Jun 30 There was talk that the 29th might 
be the final broadcast, but today (a Saturday), Radio Budapest carried the 
program 'Insight Central Europe'.  Again no mention of a last broadcast.  
Excellent level as was // 3975. (Salmaniw, Transcarpathia, Ukraine)

ROMANIA 5975, 1858-, Radio Romania International Jul 02 Very good reception 
with RRI's IS.  A big change from the 1700 broadcast which is not well heard.  
Into Ukrainian for half an hour.  // 7210 (50 kw vs 5975 which is 250 kw), also 
at good level, but with weaker modulation.  Had been cochannel VORWS, but has 
apparently signed off by the TOH.   That was the final western Ukrainian 
logging. (Salmaniw, Transcarpathia, Ukraine)

ROMANIA 7165, 1700-, Radio Romania International Jul 02 Ukrainian program at 
good level, except for a cochannel station. (Salmaniw, Transcarpathia, Ukraine)

SERBIA 7240, 1831-, International Radio of Serbia Jun 30 In English with an ID 
at 1835 as, 'You are listening to the International Radio of Serbia'.  The 
transmitter suddenly cut out at 1836.  Cochannel WYFR in English, but still 
good at times.  I heard this station a number of times in central and eastern 
Ukraine with even better results.  The announced // of 6100 was never heard. 
(Salmaniw, Transcarpathia, Ukraine)

UKRAINE 657, 1930-, Radio Ukraine International Jun 30 There are barely any MW 
transmitters left in Ukraine.  During the day, the band is practically empty.  
Chernivtsi, in the Carpathian mountains in the west of the country still has a 
25 kw transmitter used for both RUI programming to Romania and for local 
programming.  At 19:30, the local program switched to RUI's IS, Ukrainian ID, 
and then into the Romanian 30 min. program.  Fair to good. (Salmaniw, 
Transcarpathia, Ukraine)

UKRAINE 7440, 0307-, Radio Ukraine International Jul 01 RUI in English with 
Ukrainian Diary at good level.  // to 7530 at fair level.  In the past, the 
secondary frequency to Europe/Russia continued with programming in Ukrainian, 
so this is a change. (Salmaniw, Transcarpathia, Ukraine)

USA 5070, 0235-, WWCR Jul 01 Very good reception with Glenn Hauser's World of 
Radio (an older edition).  Another excellent time in Europe to hear Glenn. 
(Salmaniw, Transcarpathia, Ukraine)

USA 7415, 0313-, WBCQ Jul 01 Excellent reception, with comedy show called 
'Shore to Shore HF'. (Salmaniw, Transcarpathia, Ukraine)

VATICAN 4005, 0328-, Vatican Radio Jul 01 Polish programming at this time.  In
