** CHINA. Firedrake Dec 19: none found 7-19 MHz around 1430. Ron Howard
observes that ``FD is emphasizing their jamming of SOH during their local
morning. Dec 18 scanned at 0030 from 19000 down to 8000,
finishing at 0048. All // [on 11 frequencies]`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** EAST TURKISTAN. 11785, Dec 19 at 1425, Firedrake-like music but soon joined
by operatic vocals, so not FD. CRI Chinese to Europe is scheduled 14-1457, 500
kW, 308 degrees from site Aoki now calls ``Kashi-Saibagh 2022 TKS`` a.k.a.
Kashgar (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** FRANCE. 15360, Dec 19 at 1430, good with RFI ID and sounders amid Persian,
fair signal // 17850. This 1430-1500 broadcast is to replace 15360 by 21580 on
Feb 26, a nonsensical date when RFI plans many more upward spring shifts for
one month before the A-12 schedules kick in (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** KOREA NORTH [and non]. 6400, Dec 19 at 0630, P`yongyang BS is audible with
sad music, ute QRM. 0650, YL in Korean sounds distraught about something or
other.
6435, MND, from South to North, Dec 19 at 0631 with YL in Korean, 0632 into
choral music closing, // weaker 6550.
6518 & 6600, V. of the People, from South to North, at 0633 Dec 19, lite
jamming on 6518, no jamming audible on 6600.
Harold Frodge, MI, noted that VOK transmissions were missing earlier on Dec 17
and 18; that should have been a clue that something significant had happened!
However, VOK was back when I checked:
9335, Dec 19 at 1414, French about Kim Jung Il [hereafter KJI], what else? Dead
or alive. Poor signal but could still hear mixture with NK-style jamming noise
bleeding into the broadcast. At this moment WBCQ was missing from 9330-CUSB,
tho it was there a few minutes earlier. At 1441, it was back, impeding weakish
signal from Kujang. // 11710 not propagating. At 1500 could make out VOK IS and
English IDs on 9335, but too weak vs WBCQ and still no 11710 making it.
Here`s one convenient source of latest VOK info and scheduling, clips:
http://www.northkoreatech.org/2011/10/29/voice-of-korea-b11-schedule/
And as pointed out by Mark Fahey, NSW:
http://www.northkoreatech.org/2011/12/19/kim-jong-ils-death-monitoring-north-korean-tv-and-radio/#comments
Tnx to Martyn Williams in Tokyo.
By lucky coincidence, KJI garnered the top spot in this week`s issue of Parade
magazine, Dec 18, printed far in advance, but who was the Second Worst Dictator
in the World? Isaias Afewerkio. Who? Where? Eritrea. He`s certainly managed to
maintain a lower profile abroad. Now must be temporarily #1 pending KJU making
his mark. See http://www.parade.com/dictators (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** MAURITANIA. 7245, Dec 19 at 0637, IGIM is on with Arabic talk, singing, not
chanting or Qur`an; weaker than Vatican Hungarian massbit on 7250 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SLOVAKIA [non]. 9955, Dec 19 at 1444, Spanish in strange accent, soon
talking about Slovakia, and `Encrucijadas musicales`, Xmas tunes. So RSI relay,
best I have heard WRMI in some time; only lite residual pulse jamming. 1459
apparently switches to RMI fill music, as hit by fast SAH, 1500 RFA opening
Tibetan with English announcement, much stronger signal despite much greater
distance and wrong direxion, 297 degrees from Tinian. The 1430-1500 period
lucks into a gap after KTWR is on 9955 until 1430, before RFA at 1500.
Then WRMI goes off for its 8-hour siesta weekdays until resuming at 2300. But
WRMI continues to register 24 hours on 9955, including the 15-17 UT segment as
317 degrees, altho that antenna has been down for almost two years; everything
is really on the 160 antenna.
New WRMI program grid dated Dec 13 shows RSI as follows:
Spanish: 1430-1500 Mon, Wed, Thu, Fri [gospel huxter on Tue]; 1030-1100
Mon-Sat; daily 0330-0400. English: Tue-Sat 0130-0200. See USA for more about
WRMI (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SPAIN. 15385, Dec 19 at 1430, REE is already managing to modulate the
Monday-only Sephardic service at 1425-1455, as usual too close for comfort to
Habana 15380 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TAIWAN [non]. 6875, Dec 19 at 0634 check, yep, RTI via WYFR still in German
instead of Spanish (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TURKEY. 12035, Dec 19 at 1422, TRT closing English and into IS, poor with
flutter. Interspersed Turkish IDs and still on past 1424. Insufficient, so I
didn`t miss anything earlier from 1330. Previous winters this was often
listenable but now barely makes it here beyond intended target Europe (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WRMI has a new program grid up dated Dec 13, via
http://www.wrmi.net/pb/wp_d12a1732/wp_d12a1732.html
If you think that`s convoluted, you should see the axual URL for the program
grid at http://spreadsheets.google.com!
New M-F at 1200-1300 is `Tempranito y de Ma?ana`, Early in the Morning. What`s
that about? Exile show, ergo must be jammed? Replaces the 1230 Monday airing of
WORLD OF RADIO. Another big block is `Cuba al D?a`, M-F at 23-24, the Radio
Mart? program which WRMI trial-ran a few weeks ago, and which per RM`s own
schedule is UT Tue-Sat at 0000 and 0400, so it gets advance play by one hour on
WRMI?? Compare to Greenville frequencies to see if really // now. There`s also
a `Noticiero` of unknown origin Wed-Fri at 04-05, suspect also originating with
R. Mart?. That takes care of the ex-0430 UT Thursday WOR broadcast.
So the remaining WORLD OF RADIO times on the 9955 SW schedule are:
Fri 0600, Sat 0900, 1600, 1830, Sun 0900, 1630, 1830.
On webcast only: Mon-Tue-Wed 1630, Thu 1600, Fri 1530. Mon 2230, Thu 2200.
Some of the newer shows are yet to be described in the list of programs, but
here is one not yet started:
``Blues Radio International
Web Page: http://www.bluesradiointernational.net
Blues Radio International, beginning January 1, 2012, brings Blues music to the
world, with a potential audience of many tens of millions. It is the only
weekly international shortwave radio broadcast devoted entirely to Blues music.
. .``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [non]. 9930, Dec 19 at 1504, fluttery VOA news in English, a couple
words behind Philippines 9760. HFCC shows it`s 25 degrees from SRI LANKA,
filling a one-hour gap in Palau usage of 9930 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 6925.0-USB, Dec 19 at 1400, ``Tainted Love``, 1402 segu? to
another song by same YL. I have no idea whether it was the original by Gloria
Jones, or someone else; too much info:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tainted_Love
Some ute QRM; next check 1430 it`s gone, but a huge swatch 6750-6985 occupied
by OTH radar presumably from China or vicinity; same sound on a weaker, smaller
segment 5780-5830 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 7000-SSB, Dec 19 at 1408 I am hearing bits of talk and
North-Korean-like jamming; clandestine? pirate? ham? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX

Radio Remains the BBG Champ
by Paul McLane
on 12.19.2011
http://www.radioworld.com/article/radio-remains-the-bbg-champ/154928
Radio suffers its share of jabs as dated technology. But radio?s critics might
reflect on data
from the Broadcasting Board of Governors.
The BBG recently said that its aggregate weekly audience via radio (including
shortwave, FM
and AM) is 106 million people, while its TV audience is 97 million and its
Internet audience is
10 million.
I find it notable enough that radio remains the medium with the largest reach
among BBG?s
efforts, given the commonly heard sentiment (and not only in government-funded
circles) that
radio in general is "yesterday?s technology." But I was interested too in any
trend lines, so I
asked for more data.
Spokeswoman Letitia King gave me numbers for 2009 and 2010. I?ve listed them
side by side
and calculated growth compared to last year. (Individual numbers won?t equal
the totals
because some people use more than one platform.)
Uncle Sam?s radio and TV outlets regained some mojo in 2011 after slipping the
prior year,
while Internet continued to grow.
We?re talking here about Voice of America, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty,
Radio and TV
Marti', Radio Free Asia, Alhurra TV and Radio Sawa. Overall, those BBG
broadcasters
reached an estimated 187 million people every week in 2011, up 22 million, for
13% growth
(though 2010?s total of 165 million was down a bit from 2009).
We can?t extrapolate too much from any one organization?s broad data.
Necessarily, these
are only estimates and subject to survey error. Also, such trends are affected
by policy and
resource choices as much as consumer tastes. And while Internet consumption
might be
only a tenth of radio consumption right now, I suspect that proportion will
change significantly
in future years.
Nevertheless, these totals and percentages suggest to me that radio?s role as
part of Uncle
Sam?s face to the international community is understated and underappreciated.
We see a similar theme in ongoing media coverage of the U.S. commercial radio
industry,
which so often is criticized and dismissed, yet continues to post total
listening statistics (241
million weekly listeners) that other media envy.
Radio - the media?s best-kept secret!
If you?re interested in far greater detail from Uncle Sam about activities of
his broadcast
entities and grantees, read the BBG?s "Fiscal Year 2011 Performance and
Accountability
Report" in PDF form at tinyurl.com/rwbbg2.Standard rig : ICOM R75 / 2x16 V /

Subject: [HCDX] NVIS Short Wave technology in Afghanistan
Message-ID: <4eef8c3f.31613.1c3...@greekdx.otenet.gr>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

NVIS Short Wave technology in Afghanistan
http://www.southgatearc.org/news/december2011/nvis_short_wave_technology_in_afghanist
an.htm
ISAF report that a Virginia National Guardsman has found a new use for Near
Vertical
Incidence Skywave (NVIS) short wave radio in Afghanistan.
The song "video killed the radio star" was the first video played on MTV in
1981 and launched
a music revolution. Soldiers of the Virginia Army National Guard?s 116th
Infantry Brigade
Combat Team are deploying technology in a revolutionary way in Afghanistan
using a short
wave radio transmitter that can reach almost every radio in Zabul province.
This is the first time a province-wide transmitter has been used in
Afghanistan. The
transmitter allows the Zabul provincial and district government to send
messages to rural
Afghan homes.
"No other unit in the International Security Assistance Force has ever done
this at any level,"
said Master Sgt. Joel E. Fix of Fort Belvoir, Va. speaking of the novel
application of the
technology. "We have the ability to target the signal toward specific districts
or the whole
province."
Radio and word of mouth are the primary means of spreading news and information
in rural
Afghanistan. Listening to the radio - thousands of which were distributed by
NATO-ISAF - is
a cultural norm for Afghans, many of whom follow both the BBC and Voice of
America.
Fix, a 14-year veteran of the Guard on his third overseas deployment, came up
with the
transmitter solution in response to a problem raised in discussions with Afghan
officials: "How
could the Government of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan communicate to
their people in
remote areas?"
It was a particularly timely dilemma. As GIRoA expanded its influence into
every district,
GIRoA?s continued legitimacy rested on the ability to reliably reach and
involve ordinary
Afghans in their parliamentary democracy. Specifically, the district governors
of Mizan and
Day Chopan in Zabul province each wanted to invite the elders of their
districts to grand
shuras in September 2011.
Day Chopan has the highest elevations of Zabul province with deep valleys
unreceptive to
radio signals.
The 116th "Stonewall Brigade", in partnership with Romanian troops and Soldiers
of the
Alaska-based 1st Battalion, 24th Infantry Regiment, all members of Combined
Team Zabul,
came together to brainstorm a solution. Traditional options raised by CTZ such
as leaflet
drops, broadcasting radio transmissions from aircraft and even flying aircraft
with
loudspeakers attached were all denied.
"The government was looking for ways to communicate with people on a greater
scale, but
there were gaps in the coverage. Short wave radio is the solution we came up
with," said Fix.
Short wave radio is known in the U.S. as ham radio which allows two way
communications.
The Zabul transmitter is one way. Most radios used by Afghans are receive-only.
"I was soliciting for bids for a transmitter and was referred to Don Butler to
assist with the
project," said Maj. William R. O?Neal a Smithfield, Va. native with the 116th.
Butler, an Air Force veteran from the `60?s, is a ham radio enthusiast from Gun
Barrel City,
Texas who provided design help for the transmitter. Butler?s call sign is N4UJW.
"Ham radio is two way communications over short wave. Our transmitter is one
way," said
Fix. "With this configuration, no matter where they are, there?s no reason the
Afghan?s can?t
get a signal. The frequency is close to but not the same as the one for the
BBC. That makes
it easy to find and remember," he added.
The transmitter owes its success to a technique called NVIS - Near Vertical
Incidence
Skywave - which involves bouncing radio signals off the ionosphere - a layer of
the
atmosphere. Two NVIS antennas are placed horizontal to the ground unlike a
traditional
vertical transmitter. The second part of the NVIS antenna is called a ground
wire and helps to
boost the signal by forcing it to go straight up instead of outward and limited
by the curve of
the earth.
"In a traditional short wave broadcast, you get your antennas up as high as you
can go," said
Fix. "It bounces off the F2 layer of the ionosphere but gives you limited
coverage with `skip
points?. Using NVIS and our reflector wire, the signal goes up at a very steep
angle and
straight back down which can penetrate deeper into mountain valleys. When we
were looking
at this system, it was a no brainer," he added.
The transmitter is operated and maintained by coalition forces including the
U.S. and
Romanian soldiers and broadcasts content from the local government. At first
glance it
doesn?t seem very impressive: two antennas, the ever-useful 550 cord, and some
wire that
feeds into a box with one port and an on/off switch.
"Our goal is to transfer the transmitter to the provincial government as part
of the transition,"
said O?Neal.
Unlike some new technologies developed and used as part of Operation Enduring
Freedom,
this transmitter is inexpensive and effective.
"It has resulted in a savings of around 3,100%," said Fix. "It would take 30-32
FM systems to
cover the same area.

ANT: Wellbrook ALA1530P active loop, oriented N-S
560 CANADA, CFOS, Owen Sound, Ontario, heard at 1101 UTC with short
local news, into some international news, full station ID, and
anti-drink-driving PSA and the morning show with Fred and Bob. SINPO
43533 with co-channel QRM. The station is a reduced-power nighttime
operation with 7.5kW/1kW. If the Canadian DOC rules track with the FCC
regulations, then this would have been before local sunrise and
operating at 1kW.
9705 CHINA (*TENT*), Voice of Pujiang, Shanghai, heard at 1347 UTC on
19 December with presumed Mandarin talks by female announcer with short
telephone recordings of a male speaker. Mention of Pujiang at 1348 then
into another announcement by a male, also mentioning Pujiang, then more
from the female announcer, interspersed with a fast-paced music bed and
telephonic announcements by the male. At 1354 there was a bit of music
and then there appeared to be an English lesson, with the English read
by a man and translated by a woman. At 1358 CRI suddenly came on 9700
with an Chinese lesson and the VoA swamped 9705 and Pujiang was lost.
SINPO 35522 until decimated at 1358. Can anyone confirm that Pujiang
does any kind of English lessons? The IDs seemed to fit, but the
English lessons threw me off. This is the only station scheduled here
