Tirana English to N America is missing this UT Wednesday. Wolfgang B?schel also found the earlier Albanian hour from on 7425 missing, just China to be heard in Germany. As for the coming conflict with Lithuania on Nov 12-13 which wanted to use 7420 for a pirate special to North America in English at 0200-0400, I suggested to Sigitas Zilionis that they use 7415 instead which is now open, and an ex-pirate frequency in North America. He replies: ``Glenn, Excellent idea, thanks! We'll go for it``. Gary Drew forwarded info from the SW pirates yg that the special is for the 28th birthday of Radio Waves International, but shown as only on early UT Sunday November 13 at 02-04. (Also Friday Nov 11 to Eu 21-23 on 6055; Sunday Nov 13 to Asia 1330-1530 on 9895). Wolfgang B?schel points out that the latter broadcasts will apparently have to pre-empt scheduled Iran relays by ZRC Sitkunai.

[HCDX] US Christian Broadcaster Still Believes in Shortwave
https://sites.google.com/site/zliangas/kaito-an200-antenna-review October 28, 2011 US Christian Broadcaster Still Believes in Shortwave http://www.voanews.com/english/news/religion/US-Christian-Broadcaster-Examines-the- Future-of-Shortwave-Radio-128872053.html Since the dawn of wireless communications, international broadcasters, including the Voice of America, have used shortwave radio to communicate with the world. While many broadcasters now are switching to other technology to get their broadcasts out, privately funded religious organizations in the United States still are devoted to shortwave. Everything is set for a broadcast to the world at Christian radio station KNLS . It goes out in English, Chinese and Russian. With the rise of the Internet, some news broadcasters, including the Voice of America, are moving away from shortwave radio. But some religious broadcasters in America still believe in the medium. Our view is that there is a great future for shortwave, says Charles Caudil, president of World Christian Broadcasting, which runs KNLS. He says its long-range signal is ideal for reaching rural areas in the developing world. Very few people there have the Internet available to them, or satellites. But they do have shortwave receivers. There are about three billion shortwave receivers in the world, he said. World Christian Broadcasting was founded three decades ago by former Army Lieutenant Maurice Hall. He helped to set up a shortwave facility for President Franklin D. Roosevelt's Yalta summit with Churchill and Stalin. It is now one of the biggest Christian shortwave broadcasters in America. From its studio outside Nashville, Tennessee, it mixes cultural programming with the Christian gospel. And it seems to work. Fan mail arrives, and Bibles are sent to those who want them. The outlet is building a relay station in Madagascar, which will open a door the Muslim world. Egyptian-born Tony Tadros of the new Arabic service and his colleagues at World Christian Broadcasting say they respect Islam. But they argue that Arabs are now ready to embrace religious tolerance. Most people in the Middle East, they have misconceptions about Christianity, Tadros said. They think that the Bible is corrupt and they have a lot of misconceptions that they just got through the years. Convincing them otherwise might not be easy. Many Muslim countries ban Christian proselytizing. And some converts have been arrested or faced death threats. Abdullah Antepli, the Muslim chaplain at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina, says authorities in those countries consider those leaving the faith a threat to Islam. Not only a threat but an attack, also a violation, as they understand [it], he said. This American imam condemns that view. He says it does not live up to Islam's own ideals. Spreading the faith is both a Christian and Islamic tenet. And these days, technology makes that possible on many platforms - television, the Internet and even mobile phones. But World Christian Broadcasting still has faith in shortwave radio.

[HCDX] Don’t Stare Directly at the Sun
https://sites.google.com/site/zliangas/kaito-an200-antenna-review Don´t Stare Directly at the Sun Nov 4 http://www.rwonline.com/default.aspx?tabid=75entryid=218 Written by: cross 11/4/2011 12:41 PM That solar activity can have an effect on radio communications is well known. Sunspots, solar flares, coronal mass ejections and other disturbances 93 million miles away at the center of the solar system can cause problems for satellites circling earth as well as for shortwave and other HF radio broadcasts. When the energy of a solar flare reaches the Earth, it can temporarily increase the density of the ionosphere, a phenomenon known as Sudden Ionospheric Disturbance or the Mogel- Dellinger Effect. That in turn causes HF radio waves to be more completely absorbed by the ionosphere, creating short fade outs or even complete blackouts for shortwave broadcasts that can last for minutes or even hours. Which is all an excuse to post this picture from NASA´s Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) at Goddard Space Flight Center. NASA's SDO Captures an X-class Flare The bright light at the upper left is an X 1.9 Class solar flare, numbered AR1339, emitted from the Sun yesterday (3:27 p.m. EDT on Nov. 3, 2011). According to NASA, disruptions to some radio communications were noted on Earth about 45 minutes later. The SDO plans to continue to watch this region of the Sun for similar activity over the next 10 days.Standard rig : ICOM R75 / 2x16 V / m@h40 heads Sennheiser Please read and distribute this 15 year research article http://tinyurl.com/5vzg7e Please read my article on SINPO at http://tinyurl.com/yt7qjd http://zlgr.multiply.com (radio monitoring site plus audio clips ) MAIN SITE http://www.delicious.com/gr_greek1/@zach (all mypages !!)

[HCDX] U.S. International Broadcasting Aims for Sweeping Changes
https://sites.google.com/site/zliangas/kaito-an200-antenna-review U.S. International Broadcasting Aims for Sweeping Changes by Paul McLane on 11.02.2011 http://www.radioworld.com/article/us-international-broadcasting-aims-for-sweeping- changes/24725 U.S. international broadcasting may soon look very different, at least to anyone familiar with its structure and distribution methods. Either planned, requested or being considered by the Broadcasting Board of Governors are some big changes indeed that are spelled out in a new report from BBG. Those changes include a further sharp drawdown of U.S. shortwave capacity outside of a half-dozen key target countries; proposed repeal of the 1948 ban on domestic dissemination of content to listeners and viewers in the United States; a merger of Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, Radio Free Asia and Middle East Broadcasting Networks into one corporate structure; de-federalizing some of the agency´s work; ending language services in countries that have more developed, independent media; and moving substantial news and production assets from Washington, nearer target nations. Smaller changes include steps like putting up FM antennas at U.S. embassies to further BBG´s reach. A merger of the staff of the BBG and the International Broadcasting Bureau is already in progress. The BBG says it will not accept that our audiences and our impact will shrink. It stated new goals: to become the world´s leading international news agency by 2016, focused on the agency´s mission and impact, and to grow weekly audience by 50 million people, to 216 million. To accomplish that, BBG laid out the plan to restructure itself and U.S. international broadcasting. It released a framework of a strategy to enhance the impact of its services (Voice of America, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, Alhurra TV and Radio Sawa, Radio Free Asia, and Radio and TV Marti'). Chairman Walter Isaacson said this report frames the future direction of U.S. international broadcasting. It outlines steps to overcome its structural limitations, ongoing censorship and the profound, ongoing changes in audience media consumption habits. The board wants to integrate elements of U.S. international broadcasting into a single organization while preserving those familiar brands. The BBG, it said, is a complex amalgam of broadcast entities created by Congress at different points in time over the last 70 years in response to specific foreign policy challenges, with a structure that is inefficient and complicates the job of managing resources and involving users. We must break down a stove-piped bureaucracy of separate, semi-autonomous entities, and shape a robust, integrated, international media network with multiple brands targeted to markets where they still strongly resonate. On the topic of how content is distributed, BBG promises wholesale changes. We are currently configured largely as we were in the 1980s, with substantial resources devoted to shortwave broadcasting. Global media use now strongly favors TV, the Internet and FM radio as well as social media. Shortwave is vital in a half-dozen countries. But elsewhere we will sharply draw down our shortwave capacity to reallocate the resources to the new platforms our audiences are using. The role of shortwave has been a contentious one, with some politicians and veterans of the organization arguing that shortwave should not be scaled back further than it has been. The board also will seek to repeal the ban on domestic dissemination in the 1948 Smith- Mundt Act. Adopted in the age of cross-border communication via radio, this act did not envision either the Internet or satellite broadcasting, which do not honor national boundaries, the report states. With all of the BBG´s 59 languages available via the Web, the agency cannot comply with this outdated statute. Also, the law obstructs BBG from reaching significant expatriate communities in the United States. The Obama administration supports legislation to repeal the Smith-Mundt ban as it applies to the BBG. Also among its plans: to create a global news network out of its 59 different language services; develop automated translation to help users; expand delivery technologies such as satellite video for China, Central Asia and Southeast Asia; explore new ways to counter Internet blocking and other forms of censorship; launch a prototype TV channel in Latin America that features crowd-sourced content for young people; and place FM antennas at U.S. embassies in Africa as a low-cost additional radio outlet. Some changes will require congressional approval; a BBG spokeswoman said the organization would be working with Congress and the administration to implement the plan. Some steps are underway including integrating the IBB and BBG staffs and building a shared website content management system. And the name Broadcasting Board

It would still be better for Tirana on clear 7420. At 0238 checking the 0230 English broadcast, it`s back on the air after a link failure the previous night, but on 7425 again instead of 7420. Drita Çiço says this was an error and it is still supposed to be on 7420. Sufficient signal but undermodulated. I still haven`t caught any opening schedule announcements since B-11 began (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1590, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** ANTARCTICA. 15476, Nov 10 at 1312-1322, never any carrier detected this Thursday from LRA36 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** BRAZIL. 4815, Nov 10 at 0013, sounds like Brazilian talk, ute QRM. Presumably R. Dif. Londrina. Surprised to hear anything semi-intelligible from LA, as all but strongest 60m signals are still mostly wiped out here by line noise level (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** BRAZIL. 15190, Nov 10 at 0006, R. Inconfidência DJ greeting listeners as his program begins, until midnight [0200 UT]. Fair signal (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CHINA. Firedrake Nov 10, circa 1330: 17790, good with flutter at 1326; vs BBC Uzbek, CYPRUS. Tried BBC // 21590, and no FD heard but Chinese talk, CCI 16980, very good at 1328 15970, good at 1328 14700, good at 1328 13920, very good with flutter at 1333 12600, good at 1333 11500, fair at 1334 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA. 11690, Nov 10 at 1335, RHC is back; altho on new sked, it had been missing a few days, so we were wondering. Also on // 11750, 11760, 11840, but no 12040 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** GUAM. 15660, Nov 10 at 1330 good steady signal, only lite fading, with English ID in progress, ``Agat, Guam, following program in Hmong on 15660``, then opening rustic woodwind music like we used to hear from Hmong Lao Radio on WHRI. This semihour is in Hmong on Thursdays and Fridays only, 285 degrees from KSDA, per HFCC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** INDONESIA. 3325, Nov 10 at 1305, Indonesian talk, news? S9+18, best heard in a long time from RRI Palangkaraya, and now the SSOB surpassing remnant WWRB 3185, Korea 3480. Needs this much signal to have a chance against my hi local noise level on 90m (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** INDONESIA. 9525-, Nov 10 at 1337, VOI has remained on air for a third day in a row during English hour, 1341 ID, music; 1400 English IDs and slogans, IADs, 1401 outro with three frequencies, the others never used, postal street and box addresses, e-mail; 1402 into Indonesian. Before 1400 there was not only the Chinese radio war adjacent QRM from 9530, but a lite audible het on 9525, I don`t know from what (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** KOREA NORTH [and non]. 2850, Nov 10 at 1307, S9+15 KCBS with emphatic Korean talk; 4450 also had Korean talk atop jamming (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** RUSSIA [and non]. 6135, Nov 10 at 0007, VOR Spanish via St. Petersburg, weak 800 kW signal about the same as 6134.8v R. Santa Cruz, BOLIVIA, producing wavering het. Also with bonker QRM on low side (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1590, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** TAIWAN [non]. 6875, Nov 10 at 0619 check, yep, RTI via WYFR is still in wrong language, German. We are counting the days until they fix this or their schedule (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** TURKEY. 12035, Nov 10 at 1334, it`s hard to believe V. of Turkey English to Europe is here, but I guess that`s the source of the JBA carrier (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 7490, Nov 10 at 0015, WBCQ with `Allan Weiner Worldwide`, must be filling time in addition to its live 0100 UT Saturday airing (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 5085, Nov 10 at 0335, WTWW-2 is on with open carrier, as George McClintock phoned to check reception: at least S9+20, he says with 30 kW, and up to 60 kW when modulation of PPP/SFAW // 5755 resumes as test. Last Saturday`s inaugural live broadcast had to be scrubbed because the ARRL server was down and publicity could not be sent to its mailing list; and other problems. If all goes well, that will happen this Saturday, Ted Randall playing oldies and taking phone calls, Nov 12 at 22-24 UT on 9990, 00-04 UT Sunday Nov 13 on 5085. Depending on QRM, that frequency might be adjusted upward towards 5090 or 5095, which has been cleared for use. WTWW 5085 was much stronger than neighbor WWRB 5051 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1590, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1590: First airings should be Nov 11: Thu 2200 on WTWW 9479 Thu 2200 on WRMI 9955 Thu 2230 on WBCQ 7490 [how is interference in your area?] Fri 0430 on WWRB 3195, 5051 Fri 0600 on WRMI 9955 Fri 1530 on WRMI 9955 Sat 0900 on
Re: [HCDX] New external service fromn Libya
Any idea of an address to try for a QSL? Jim Pogue Memphis, Tennessee USA - Original Message - From: Anker Petersen anker.peter...@mail.dk To: HCDX hard-core-dx@hard-core-dx.com Sent: Monday, October 24, 2011 2:24:13 PM Subject: [HCDX] New external service fromn Libya Dear DX-friends, I listened to Libya this afternoon( Oct 24) at 1610-1735 UTC on 11600.00 kHz which had a broadcast in French with SINPO 35433 - 45443 and S up to 9+30 dB, but a very muffled voice audio. Their audio of music was perfect: Vienna waltzes and light instrumental music which was often played! They had frequent, new ID's: Radio Libye, Tripoli and Ici Radio Télévision Libye, Tripoli. This obviously has replaced the former Gaddafi names Libyan Jamahariyah Broadcasting Corporation and the external service Voice of Africa. Mostly talks on the same time schedule as former Voice of Africa in French about the revolution and future democracy in Libya, about the obduction of the corpse of Muammar Gaddafi, the declaration of military victory of Libya in Benghazi and the democratic election yesterday in Tunisia and about developments in Syria. All was very different content to what was heard on the Voice of Africa! Slight QRM from *1700 from CRI, Baoji in Swahili, then 54443.
