Re: [HCDX] [mwdx] 1440 kHz RTL Radio Luxembourg Marncha - QRT for ever - at 2259 UT Dec 31

Yes, it was fun. I listened to the last broadcast on 1440 kHz from Marnach.
However, RTL French service is still audible on AM long-wave 234 kHzfrom the 
Beidweiler site 1500 kW.

    re BrDXC-UK ng, - Hi Dave:

> is due to close tonight at  {sic} UTC tonight.

according direct phone access to BCE in Luxembourg:

LUXEMBOURG 1440 MW final, cease for ever at 2259 UT on Dec 31, 2015.

Ein Funkfreund wies mich gerade darauf hin, dass diesem Artikel zufolge...
<http://www.rtl.lu/letzebuerg/749246.html>
... die Sendung von gestern Nacht noch mal von 1200-1400 UT auf 1440 kHz
wiederholt wird.
(Daniel Kaehler-D, A-DX Dec 31)

1440 kHz RTL Radio Luxembourg Marnach update.
Final stop for ever on MW Marnach at 2259 UTC. Before the LUX National 
Anthem played.

Hallo, nach einem Telefonanruf bei Herrn Eugene Mueller von BCE Luxembourg
wurde mir bestaetigt, dass 1440 kHz um 2259 UTC aufhoert. Davor kommt noch
die Luxemburger Nationalhymne. QSL-Karten werden gerne noch ausgestellt.

Die letzte englische Sendung laeuft, mit vielen Jingles.
Da kommt schon etwas (viel) Nostalgie auf.

Gruss aus LUX,
(Joe Leyder-LUX, A-DX Dec 31)

This morning 8.9. I have been listening to a Russian speaking

Too much static noise for positive id. However, this must be
Abkhazian radio.

Re: [HCDX] ETH jamming

2008-01-08 Thread Jorma Mantyla
This is sad news and historical irony.

Asa Briggs writes in his famous BBC history that Italy was the first
country to start radio jamming.  This happened in 1936 when Italy occupied
Ethiopia.  Ethiopian radio began to broadcast messages to get help when
Italian forces started their invasion.  These broadcasts were jammed by
the Italians.

Now the Ethiopian government is jamming foreign broadcasts to Ethiopia.

This means that the Europakanal-service was discontinued

[HCDX] FIFA 2006 - special radio?

2006-05-16 Thread Jorma Mantyla
The FIFA World Cup is in Germany June 9 - July 9.

Is there any special event radio station during these 
games?  In Paris 1998 there was a special station on
1080 kHz during the soccer games.

Re: [HCDX] Threat to streaming audio

2006-03-18 Thread Jorma Mantyla
This is not a April 1 joke.

In Finland most radio stations cannot offer streaming audio because 
one certain copyright organisation (performers  Gramex):

http://www.gramex.fi/

This legal copyright group is charging so huge amounts of money from
Finnish broadcasters that even our public (state owned) broadcaster Yle 
is not able to offer live streaming audio, see:

http://www.yle.fi/rfinland/index.shtml

You can hear only talk shows but no music.
Yes, there are few Finnish radio stations offering streaming audio:

http://www.radiohelsinki.fi/

But they are playing a risky game with the possibility of losing much
money in the future depending on the decisions of our courts.

  The Phonographic industry, the group representing record companies in the
  UK, are to make it impossible for radio stations to stream audio outside
  the
  UK. A clause in the PPL's new license for commercial UK broadcasters may
  result in the shutdown of those stations' Internet streams to listeners
  everywhere
  else in the world beginning April 1.
  
  Sounds like there needs to be a lobby group set up quickly!! Any

[HCDX] Radio Cristal 5010 kHz reactivated next weekend

2006-01-26 Thread Jorma Mantyla
The Finnish well-known DX'er Simo S. Soininen is just now
in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.

Simo sent me last night an e-mail where he says he has met Teo 
Veras.  They plan to activate Radio Cristal shortwave 
transmitter on 5010 kHz next weekend.  Listen to 5010 kHz!

I'll send more info in the near future.  However, it seems
that Internet-connections in the Dominican Republic aren't
very reliable.  This is all I know now after one short e-mail.

[DX] Ihmeiden aika ei ole ohi?

2005-10-03 Thread Jorma Mantyla
Toivottavasti tämä ei ole off-topic, mutta kaikkihan me
siivoamme roskapostikansioita ettei sinne livahda Qusilleja.

On siis maanantai, ja tavanomaiseen tapaan siivosin 
roskapostilaatikon.  Sähköpostiohjelmassani on automaattinen
suodatus, joka heittää epäilyttävät postit roskalaatikkoon.
Ohjelma tekee viikon välein uuden roskapostikansion.
Koska ohjelma on joskus vähän tyhmä, tsekkaan tietyillä
hakusanoilla (dx, QSL, radio jne.) ettei asiallista postia ole mennyt
roskiin.  Samalla näen paljonko spammia on tullut.

Tässä onkin ihmetyksen paikka.  Nimittäin viime keväänä roskalaatikossa
oli pahimmillaan 1050-1100 spammia tyyliin osta uusi piraatti-Photoshop,
Rolex-kellon jäljitelmä, tai alastontyttöjä on tarjolla sekä liikekirjeitä
Nigeriasta ja arpajaisvoittoja Hollannista.

Elokuussa roskalaatikossa oli keskimäärin noin 650 spammipostia
viikossa.  Toissamaanantain roskalaatikossa oli 558 viestiä ja tänään
3.10. spammia oli enää 479 kpl.

Roskapostin määrä näyttää laskeneen dramaattisesti puolessa vuodessa!?
Lasku on jatkunut jo niin pitkään, ettei kyse voi olla tilastollisesta
sattumasta.  Onko muilla vastaavia kokemuksia?  Vielä viime keväänä
ennakoitiin, että koko Internet tukehtuu roskapostiin... ?

[HCDX] DAB to be closed in Finland

2005-02-23 Thread Jorma Mantyla
This may have some news value around the world.

Our public broadcaster YLE today announced that digital 
audio broadcasts (DAB/Eureka 141) will be closed down
during 2005.

YLE has been broadcasting DAB-signals on VHF 212 MHz area
since 1997.  All major national networks + regional stations
have been audible via DAB-transmitters in Southern Finland.
Marketing of these new services has been a complete disaster
during last 8 years.  Less than 1000 DAB-receivers were sold.
None of the commercial broadcasters have been using DAB.

2003-09-18 Thread Jorma Mantyla
You are right.
Actually, the first country that started jamming was Italy.
This happened during the Mussolini fascist regime 1922-1945.
When Mussolini took power in Italy all leftist and liberal parties 
and trade-unions were banned.  The leaders of the Italian Communist 
Party were in exile in Moscow.  They started radio broadcasts
over Radio Moscow in Italian - the most famous figure was
Palmiro Togliatti.  Mussolini answered by starting jamming 
against these radio transmissions.

Re: [mwdx] Re: [HCDX] A question about the power of European tx'ers

2003-06-19 Thread Jorma Mantyla
The reason for different audio sound is that radio stations in
North America use heavy audio compression.  In Europe that is
restricted by ITU because it generates splash that may cause
interference to nearby radio stations within large frequency
range (+- 30 or even 40 kHz from stn original frequency).
You can find this phenomenon on FM, too, but is most clearly
heard on AM.
Because of heavy audio compression (30 dB or even more) the
sound of a radio station sounds louder.  Commercial radio
stations do this as they believe listeners favour and find
easier radio stations with loud audio signal.  By doing this
they try to compensate low power.
You can hear the difference if you listen locally to a 1 kW 
North American stn and compare it locally with same antenna 
with a 100 kW European stn.
The S-meter in the case of a North American stn may show 
weaker signal than the 100 kW European but the audio
sounds louder.
Fortunately it is so!  The result could be terrific with splash
around the MW-band here in Europe if 100-1000 kW stn's use the same 
audio compression as in North America.
By limiting compression ITU tries to limit the disadvantages
of European megawatt transmitters.
The audio of European low compression radio stations
is more realistic.  Compression actually is unnatural as
it decreases the dynamic range of sound.  This is important
especially if you listen to classical music.  But this is not
often broadcast on AM, thus AM-stations use more and more
compression around the world.
For dx'ers compression is good.  You can hear clear
audio despite weak slong-distance signal.  In case of low
compression you need stronger signal to understand what
you hear.

 In Romania, the anti-Ceausescu messages were transmitted over SW, via RFL
 (Radio Europa Liberã), not over MW, only on SW wich was jammed by the way (I
 think the tx site of the RFL jammers were in Bod, in the same site that host
 the 1200 kW LW tx'er on 153 kHz that is used nowadays by Radio România
 Actualitãti). Radio Europa Liberã was the only foreign station broadcasting
 to Romania and it was 100% anti-communist programming and all on SW. If they
 had done this on MW, because of the lower frequency and a higher amount of
 groundwave (and somewhat less skywave obviously) Ceasusescu would have put
 local tx'er on the same channels as RFL and the listening would have become
 impossible.
 
 Another thing: I'm still stumped that despite some MW tx'ers are using way
 over 1 megawatt, European DX'ers are getting more deep-South American DX
 than those in North America (here a coastal location like Cappahayden, NF,
 Yarmouth, NS or Cape Cod, MA or east-coast Florida is required to get deep
 into South America on MW). For exemple there are several powerfull
 transmitters on 1575, but Radio Familia de Maule from CHile still can be
 heard on 1570 (at least in Scandinavia).
 
 I know that all the Beverages antenna used in Lapland help, but a DX'er
 using a Beverage antenna in the midwest have problems picking up Central
 Americans. Might this be because European stations are very directionnal or
 what ? I have heard from someone that was only a few hundreds of kilometers
 from Finland-963 that reception of this station was very poor and they might
 be highly directionnal.
 
 I also wonder (even with those phasers, the power is enormous at 1.3 MW) how
 can you log TAs like CKEC when Norway is next door on 1314.
 
 As for those wondering about the concrete issue... well, in Romania over 90%
 of the houses have a reinforced concrete structure, because each few years
 there are big earthquakes there, so that was the reason, in my opinion, why
 most Romanian stations use over 100 kW, like Craiova 558 use 600 kW and when
 I lived in an appartment at the 4th floor on a concrete-steel frame
 building, using just a very unsensitive Emerson AM/FM walk-man wich had poor
 audio on AM to makes things worse (I was in Bucharest, about 200 kilometers
 away from Craiova; the same distance as Ottawa from here in Mtl.), but the
 reception was fair and very listenable at high noon in August via pure
 groundwave.
 
 When I was the last summer in a hospital, I could barely detect (without
 understanding nothing) WVMT out of Burlington, VT (on 620) using the same
 weak Emerson AM/FM walkman and the window where I was faced directly to the
 south. They also use 5 kW directionnal north-south as to avoid QRM'ing WZON
 east of them, in Maine. + Burlington is about 125 kilometers from Mtl. while
 Craiova was 1.75 times further. But still no way I could hear them, because
 of the concrete structure; but in Bucharest, Radio Craiova could still be
 heard on 558 with a very listenable signal and only the ceilings strucutre
 was in mettalic concrete, but even the walls were in concrete in that
 appartment.

Re: [HCDX] A question about the power of European tx'ers

2003-06-17 Thread Jorma Mantyla
The power game originates from 1950's Cold War.  After WWII
Europe was strictly divided into West and East.  Propaganda was
important for both sides.  Germany was the worst case: East
tried to effect the West and West tried to liberate East.  In
these conditions the power of mw-transmitters was one way to
get the message to the target area.
Because of this political division ITU failed to reach power
limits in the 1948 Copenhagen frequency allocation conference.
The result was known as power game on medium-waves.
The situation in North America was different.  Possibly the
radio war between Cuba and the US on MW since 1960's is a
little bit similar, but it is not power game as it was in
Europe.

Re: [DX] Aurora-ES:ää...

2003-06-01 Thread Jorma Mantyla
Hei,
ihan pikainen kysymys FM-tuntijoille.
Mikä keli tämä aurora-Es oikein on?
Siis 29.5. kelin huomasin, ja menettelin perinteisen
ohjeen mukaisesti.  Suuntasin antennin pohjoiseen,
vaan signaali heikkeni, eikä vahvistunut, kuten
aurora-kelistä on vakuutettu.  Ruotsalaiset kuuluivat
parhaiten lännen suunnasta, kuten Es:llä (jolloin
ruotsalaiset tosin ovat suurharvinaisuuksia paitsi 
aivan eteläisimmät).
Mikä tämä aurora-Es oikeastaan on, aurora vai Es?
Vai molempia jotenkin sekaisin?
Minusta tuo 29.5. vaikutti enemmän auroralta.  Sinkku oli
tasainen, mutta rupuinen ja töhryinen A-indeksin
heiluessa 30 tienoilla.

[DX] Mielenkiintoinen pedition

2002-11-20 Thread Jorma Mantyla
Niin sanotut tavalliset ihmiset voivat joskus pitää
dx-kuuntelijoita vähän outoina olioina.  Menemmehän
me joskus Lapin perukoille ja vetelemme -30 asteen
pakkasessa lankoja metsiin kuunnellaksemme yöt ja
päivät radioasemia.
Ilmeisesti myös tähtitiede voi saada aikaan vastaavia
efektejä, vai mitä tuumitte alla olevasta peditionista
pilvien yläpuolelle Leonidien näkemiseksi?  Taivashan
oli sakean pilviverhon peitossa aamulla 19.11.
Peditionkertomus on peräisin tähtieteellisen
yhdistyksen Ursan listalta.

Kangasala

 Laitanpa tämän Arton havaintokertomuksen nyt tännekin listalle ihailtavaksi.

 Siriuslaisia oli ilmassa koko koneellinen eli 9 henkilöä. Lento onnistui
 hyvin, starttasimme Tikkakoskelta kello 5:30 ja nousimme pilvien yläpuolelle
 6 kilometriin. Vaikka lentokoneessa oli ahdasta ja varsin pienet ikkunat,
 niin tähdenlentoja näkyi runsaasti. Jokainen taisi nähdä yli 50
 tähdenlentoa! Välillä kun kone olis sopivassa asennossa kallellaan kohti
 etelätaivasta niin Leonideja tuli ryöppyinä noin yksi tähdenlento
 sekunnissa. Säteilypiste Leijonassa oli selvästi 'näkyvissä' kun sieltä
 sinkoili palavia kiviä joka suuntaan. Matalalla lännessä loistava täysikuu
 hieman haittasi havaintoja. Laskeuduimme takaisin maankamaralle kello 6:40.

 Kuvasimme tapahtumaa parilla videokameralla ja digikameralla, mutta ei
 tähdenlennoista tainnut monikaan jäädä talteen, toivottavasti edes muutama.
 Videomateriaalia on nähtävissä Siriuksen joulukuun jäsenillassa.

[DX] RTVHK 3940 releoinnit

2002-11-11 Thread Jorma Mantyla

Tästä omituisten otusten kerhosta eli VoA- ym. äänistä mitä
täällä on kuultu.  Ei asemilla ole mahdotonta, että
lähetyksiin pääsee asiattomia sisältöjä.  Esim. Puola
kuului aikoinaan Itävallan alla 585 kHz - se johtui
227 kHz megalähettimen aiheuttamasta harhasta Itävallassa.
Nyt on kuultu AIR 1 kHz, epäilen kyseessä olevan
aikamerkkiasema ATA:n kautta tuleva harhatoisto, jonka
alkulähde on lähitaajuuksilla lähettävä megawatti-AIR.
Ja on tätä sattunut Suomessakin.  Erään luottavan tahon
mukaan (Ylen toimittaja) sattui joskus 1970-luvulla eräällä 
pienellä Ylen tv-asemalla Etelä-Suomessa seuraavaa.
Tuohon aikaan päivisin ei ollut ohjelmia, vaan ulos
meni pelkkää testikuvaa.  Eräällä asemalla tekninen
henkilökunta kyllästyi katselemaan päivästä toiseen
testikuvaa, ja teknikko laittoi nauhuriin pyörimään
härskinpuoleisen pornoleffan.  Sattuipa kuitenkin, että
piuhat oli kytketty niin, että pornoleffa ei näkynyt vain
aseman monitorissa, vaan meni ulos lähetykseen.  Ja tätä
kesti pitkään, toista tuntia ennen kuin asia huomattin, kun
Ylen katsojapalautteeseen alkoi tulla kummastelevia 
puhelinsoittoja Reporadion yllättäen muuttuneen ohjelmiston
takia...
Tiedossani ei ole miten tekniselle henkilökunnalle kävi
sattumuksen jälkeen.  Tietääkö joku tarkemmin?
