Indonesia, 9526, Voice of Indonesia, 0940-1000 Noted a  female in Indonesian 
comments
until 0944.  At that time, music was presented.  Signal dropped off the air 
at 0945 however,
in the middle of music.  Sat on this freq for a few minutes, but signal 
never came back.
While VOI was on the air, its signal was fair.  (Chuck Bolland, May 22,

[HCDX] Samoa Radio Sale Confirmed

2008-05-22 Thread info
Samoa FM Sale

Samoa Quality Broadcasters have completed purchase of 89.1 FM Apia,
the former SBC Radio 1 outlet. CEO is Ms Faiesea Matafeo, also the
current CEO of SBC and she will be joined by seven other existing SBC
staff. Redundancy payments are being made to others.

The station will continue the 60 year old tradition of quality
broadcasting established by forerunner 2AP in 1948, and serve Samoa
in both English and Samoan languages.

SQB have also purchased Televise Samoa from the SBC, and will be
operating from the same premises at Mulinu'u on the harbor front in
Apia. 

The existing SBC1 and SBC2 AM transmitters [540 and 747] are not part
of the sale deal and will come under control of the Ministry of
Communications for use in emergencies and other times of national
interest. 

Further information on operations of the national AM service will be
available shortly.

The full background to the sale can be found at the 'Samoan Radio
Sale' article at www.radioheritage.net, along with exclusive photos
of the existing SBC studio and transmission facilities in Apia.

[HCDX] Egypt

2008-05-22 Thread ka4prf


Egypt, 9360, Radio Cairo, 0145-0200+  Actually I was listening to this prior 
to 0145, but
what caught my attention was at 0145, I heard time ticks(5), then the 
programming switched
to Spanish.  Prior to that, the language was Arabic or something simular. 
An ID was
heard at 0145 in English and followed in Spanish by a female.  Checked 07270 
where I heard a parallel transmission.  All hard copy references say the 
Spanish transmission begins at 0045 vice 0145. At 0159 a silent period is 
noted. At 0200 time ticks again and female

returns in Spanish. Signal was fair.  (Chuck Bolland, May 23, 2008)


Note:  Lately while driving, I have been trying to keep my truck under 55 
mph on major highways. I have actually noticed my MPG getting better since 
then.

2008-05-22 Thread Glenn Hauser
** BRAZIL. I scan the 60 mb just about every night around 0600, and never heard 
anything on 4755 until May 20, besides CODAR, of course. At 0621 music, and 
talk definitely in Brazilian Portuguese, so my first thought that PMA might 
finally have come back was quickly dashed; a bit early for them anyway, 1721 
local. It was also very slightly on the low side, but I would not say as low as 
4754.90. Presumed R. Imaculada Conceição as others have been reporting. 
Apparently all-night now, and I wonder if that is a recent expansion in hours 
accounting for its new audibility? However, it sounded more like a commercial 
station to me than a religionist. Nothing else from Brazil found on 60m except 
a trace of 4915; 4790 Perú however was stronger than usual.

** BRAZIL. As byproduct of looking for International Radio Serbia on 6185, I 
had to deal with the splatter from RHC on 6180, May 21 at 0004; 6180 itself had 
heavy SAH and QRM from Amazonian service, as usual. This was // clear 11780, 
but when I rechecked at 0021, 11780 was no longer to be heard, just bleedover 
from DentroCuban jamming against Radio Martí on 11775 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX 
LISTENING DIGEST)

** CANADA. CHU still missing from 7335, May 20 at 1306 but audible on 14670. At 
2105, 7335 was back on. Raymond Pelletier of NRC told me they were fixing some 
tech problems, and that all transmitters would be upgraded this summer (Glenn 
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA [and non]. In second day of three-day quake mourning period, still no 
Firedrake jamming to be heard May 20, but instead CNR-1 program feed, in some 
cases offset with echoes to make it more annoying. At 1306, such jamming on 
7445, 6110; on 9930 at 1411, about equal mix of CNR1 and Sound of Hope via 
KWHR; one was dominating on the FRG-7 with longwire, the other on YB-400 with 
internal random wire. Same programming but not sure if // on 9450 from Taiwan 
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA [and non]. RHC 13760, May 19 at 1437 had a subaudible heterodyne of 
about 6 Hz. Per EiBi and Aoki, the only possibility is VOK in French to Europe, 
tho Aoki lacks the 11-15 UT RHC broadcast on 13760, where it has been for some 
months; and HFCC of course lacks both N Korea and Cuba!  (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX 
LISTENING DIGEST)

** JAPAN. NHKWRJ, 11985, fair at 1320 May 20 with Today`s Angle, i.e. one 
dekaminute into the 1310-1340 transmission. This is due west from Yamata, same 
as the 1400-1430 English broadcast recently reported (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX 
LISTENING DIGEST)

** KOREA NORTH. KCBS, which has been varying down to 11678-11677, May 20 at 
1418 was more like 11679.8, judging from the het Korean talk was making with a 
11680 station, and BFO confirmed nothing on the lower frequencies. Aoki 
suggests 11680 should be RFA Vietnamese via Sri Lanka, or VOT in Turkish (Glenn 
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KOREA NORTH [and non]. 9940, May 20 at 1312 in Korean plus rapid pulsing 
jammer with pitch varying slightly. This would be North Korea Reform Radio, 
daily at 1300-1330 via Taiwan, per Aoki. I notice that John Wilkins in CO 
reported it exactly one week earlier, but no mention of any jamming. 
Fortunately, DPRK jamming tends to be rather sporadic (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX 
LISTENING DIGEST)

** NEW ZEALAND. RNZI still on 13840 AM, May 21 at 0019 with news reports, no 
QRM audible, tho the quake jarred China into occupying this frequency where it 
causes QRM in the Pacific and surely Asia. We have been wondering if RNZI would 
move as a result. 15715-15720-15725 DRM also in with strong buzz (Glenn Hauser, 
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NORTHERN MARIANA ISLANDS. Ah, almost a month from Solstice now and we are 
getting late-nite HF openings. May 20 at 0609 heard Chinese on 17880, fair with 
heavy fading, M&W interview, only station on 16m band, // 15680 but the latter 
running about 1 second behind. These are Radio Free Asia, 17880 via Saipan at 
310 degrees, and 15680 via Tinian at 296 degrees. No jamming audible, but Aoki 
says they are jammed as you would expect. I expect the higher-latitude jamming 
from China was not propagating as this seemed to be a rather localized opening 
from the NMI (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. Silly me, thinking XERF 1570 might still reach here on skywave as 
late as 1252 UT May 20. Nostalgia music in English, ``Let`s Call the Whole 
Thing Off``, linguistic pronunciation debate; 1254 ``The More Icey You, the 
More I Want Choo``, 1257 DJ announcement in English, ``Mandy``. 1259 ID as 
KZLI, Catoosa-Tulsa`` and dominating frequency (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX 
LISTENING DIGEST)

** SERBIA [non]. International Radio Serbia is gone again from the Bijeljina 
transmitter in Bosnia-Herzegovina. On May 19 and 20, Wolfgang Büschel and other 
European monitors were no longer hearing the European service on 6100, just the 
low-power Stubline unit on 7200v. So is 6185 to North America also off?

Yes, no IRS, checking here UT May 21 a

[HCDX] The Voice of Greece celebrates its 70th Year of Broadcasting

2008-05-22 Thread Marcelo Xavier Vieira

Hello, 
Despite the fact that "The Voice of Greece" is no longer broadcasting in 
Portuguese, and also ceased brodcasts to South America in Greek a couple of 
years ago, it is, still, my favorite shortwave radio station. Last week I 
received a message from one of its programs, called "O Tahydromos" (The 
Mailman), which happens to be the program of contact with the listeners. The 
message was about a special edition of that program, which will take place on 
the 21st of May, starting at 11 hours and ending at 12 hours, Greek time, of 
course (8 through 9 hours UTC). It will be a special broadcast and the 
listeners will be able to take part live, provided they send their telephone 
numbers to the program. 
The e-mail is [EMAIL PROTECTED] 
Unfortunately, nothing to say about special QSLs...

If you don't know how to listen to the station, you may find times and 
frequencies here:

Hello 

You possibly wondered what happened with me missing  for about 1 month

me  return a day earlier in Thessaloniki. For one week  I was absent  from 
any activities  except my  work in the University  and then trying to prepare 
several things . In the weekends  I was in Litohoron once again for recording 
a `live  show `  from the  chorus of Litohoron together with a popular Greek   
singer  and the process  of all of this was  quite  time consuming 

You may read much abot my trip  here

More photos  from the trip can be found 
http://zlgr.multiply.com/photos/album/68

and more about he happening in Litohoron  here:

as multiply  does not allow  replies  , please reply  directly to me

[HCDX] KOJE editor and homepage has changed

2008-05-22 Thread Tapio Kalmi

Hi to all North American AM fans !

I have started as the new editor of KOJE list and North American News
Watch (NANW) in DX Clusive and Radiomaailma magazines. All information
is shared via internet as well and we have new web pages for this
purpose. Wellcome to the new KOJE Homepage at
http://www.tapiokalmi.net/dx/koje/

On these pages you will find three summaries of the mediumwave (AM)
radiostations which can be heard in the Nordic countries (Sweden, Norway
and Finland).

The names of these summaries are abbreviations from the finnish words
which are translated to english as follows:
Hawaiians which can be heard (KOH - kuultavissa olevat hawaijilaiset),
Yankees which can be heard (KOJE - kuultavissa olevat jenkit) and
Mexicans which can be heard (KOMEX - kuultavissa olevat meksikolaiset)

The translation here is as liberal as the originally chosen words which
come from the Finnish DX-slang. Word Yankee means here the whole North
America from California to Greenland and from Alaska to Florida,
including also Bermuda. The first of these lists was KOJE, so the pages
are named after that list.

The latest updated Excel sheet and list of updates are available today
18MAY2008.

If you have any comments or news to share, please feel free to send
email to me. Thank you for your help.

[HCDX] Glenn Hauser logs May 21-22

2008-05-22 Thread Glenn Hauser
** CAMBODIA [non]. As I was tuning 12130 for Hoa Mai via KWHR --- see VIETNAM 
[non] --- I also noticed another broadcast on 12140 at 1246 May 21, in 
Cambodian. Searches of the online A-08 skeds Aoki, Eibi and WRTH were 
fruitless, altho RFA is on 12140 after 1400 in Vietnamese. Suspecting Radio 
Free Asia, I checked their own schedule at 
http://www.rfa.org/english/about/frequencies.html
and there it is:
Khmer (2 hours daily) 
1230-1330 12140, 15525 
2230-2330  7580, 13740
This is a recent change as of May 18, the 12140 site Tinian. Even better signal 
May 22 at 1258 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA [and non]. The 3-day mourning period is over, but still no sign of 
Firedrake May 22, checking many of the usual spots; at 1256, found 14410 with 
weak talk instead, most likely CNR-1 jamming against Sound of Hope; 9605 at 
1315, CNR-1 jamming against BBC, no FD. I am suffering Firedrake Withdrawal --- 
the SW bands are not the same without it all over the place (Glenn Hauser, OK, 
DX LISTENING DIGERST)

** CUBA. 17705, May 21 at 2002 found open carrier instead of Venezuela relay, 
off at 2003, back on at 2004:30 but nothing further heard next few minutes. 
Refund (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SPAIN [non]. Quick check of REE Co-Official Languages segment, May 22 at 
1250 on 15170 via Costa Rica: opening in Basque, immediately into Castilian 
news about Euskadi. O well, surely almost all Basques understand Spanish, so 
why bother with their own peculiar language? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING 
DIGEST)

** TAIWAN. 15465 with strange stuff May 22 at 1252, very emotional drama in 
oriental language with heaving sounds, musical accompaniment; 1255 outro and 
just music; 1300 5-pip timesignal (all same pitch) and off immediately without 
further announcement. Here`s what Aoki lists: 

15465*R.TAIWAN INT. 1200-1300 1234567 Chinese 100 230 Paochung TWN 12018E 2343N 
CBS2 a08 
15465 R.TAIWAN INT. 1300-1400 1234567 Amoy100 230 Paochung TWN 12018E 2343N 
CBSD a08 

Which means that it`s jammed until 1300, but not jammed when switching to Amoy 
at 1300; however, that part was missing, anyway (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING 
DIGEST)

** U S A. Open carriers on 17530 and 17565, May 22 at 1352, the latter with a 
SAH and over some co-channel station, music. These are Greenville warming up 
for 1400 broadcasts in English, Spanish respectively, both signing-on at 1359. 
This is typical for IBB Greenville, turning on transmitters with open carrier 
10-15 minutes before programming. Is this really necessary, Chollie? Seems a 
waste. And in this case blox something else. Probably the jumpy V. of Tibet via 
Uzbekistan and/or Chicom jamming, landing on 17565 today (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX 
LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. KVOH, 17775, not especially strong, Spanish religious talk, May 21 at 
2019, but just strong enough to audiblize its parasitic spurs on 17920-17921 
and weaker around 17630, plus/minus 145+ kHz. They all weakened by 2030 (Glenn 
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** VIETNAM [non]. 12130, May 21 at 1243, sounds like old woman screaming in the 
field, not clearly enunciated, but presumably Vietnamese on the Wednesday-only 
12-13 Hoa Mai transmission via KWHR Hawaii. 1258 announcement in rational 
Vietnamese, 1259 KWHR ID and OCS past 1300 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING 
DIGEST)

** WESTERN SAHARA [non]. RN de la RASD, 6300, May 21 at 0640, strumming and 
singing mentioning Sahara; fair with QRM from ute pulsing, and also SAH, 
presumably RHC mixing product but RHC audio not a factor at the moment (Glenn 
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

at 0945 however,
in the middle of music.  Sat on this freq for a few minutes, but signal

While VOI was on the air, its signal was fair.  (Chuck Bolland, May 22,
