Re: [DX] USB 3.0
Kyllästyin keväällä lopullisesti jatkuviin takelteluihin Perseus-fileiden puhtaaksikuuntelussa, ja hommasin nyt alkusyksystä Saksasta sellaisen läppärin (Asus N61JA), jossa on usb3-liitäntä plus siihen usb3-irtokovon. Tarra tietsikan päällä lupaa kymmenkertaista siirtonopeutta, mutta olen testaillut samoja perseus-fileitä usb3:n ja usb2:n kautta, ja todellinen ero näyttäisi olevan sellainen, että usb3 on hieman yli kolme kertaa nopeampi kuin usb2-väylä. Luin juuri uusimmasta Mikrobitti-lehdestä, että vielä paremman siirtonopeuden saavuttaminen usb3:n kautta olisi kyllä mahdollista ssd-levyjen kanssa, sillä nyt pullonkaulaksi tulee näiden nykyisten magneettilevyjen hitaus usb3-väylään verrattuna. No, joka tapauksessa olen hankintaani enemmän kuin tyytyväinen, ja itse asiassa vanhan USB2-liitäntäisen Fujitsun irtokovalevyn tiedostojenkin kuuntelu sujuu kolmosväylän kautta nyt takkuilematta. 73 JUS Jussi Suokas Joensuu - Original Message - From: Tarmo Kontro tarmo.kon...@kyamk.fi To: dx@hard-core-dx.com Sent: Wednesday, November 17, 2010 10:15 AM Subject: Re: [DX] USB 3.0 Moro; Joo näitä testejä on lehdistössäkin näkynyt ja ilm. paras nopeus juuri isoilla tiedostoilla, joita sdr:t käyttää. 73,TK Roland Sandberg roland.sandb...@pp.inet.fi 11/16/2010 10:07 Kokeilin äsken eka kertaa mihin USB 3.0 kykennee ja kyllä se lyö kirkkaasti esata.

[HCDX] Wed morn Mystery
Indonesia, 9680, RRI Jakarta, 1130-1145, Noted Jakarta here with music and hosting by a male and female in Indonesian language comments. Noting the display, I see two signals on or near this frequency. Jakarta seems to be on 9680.000 while a second station is on 9680.046 KHz. This could be vice versa, since it's difficult to separate the two. Also, I can only hear the audio from Jakarta regardless whether I detune to either frequency. The station on 9680.046 seems to be the stronger signal. I am tempted to assign the 9680.046 signal to Jakarta and the 9680 signal to the mystery station, but I know I'd be on the hot seat if I did. But you can, if you want? Sometimes the mystery station seems to fade in to threshold and it sounds like an Asian which probably would make Radio Tawian International the unidentifed station on 9680.046 KHz or as mentioned above, vice versa.

Meanwhile still lacking at this hour on 6000 contrary to schedule, just Harold camping on the frequency. 9955, DentroCuban Jamming Command still has it in for WRMI, Nov 17 at 0628 in English --- o, it`s CDHD Brigade 2506, the only exile program in English. But jamming pulses continue past 0630 when WRMI starts R. Praga in Spanish, surely no threat to The Revolution. 13680, I am monitoring RHC Nov 17 at 1359 when Tony Gómez gives a frequency announcement. Now he mentions start and stop times for some of the frequencies, a change: 15120, 15360, 15390; from 1300, 13680, 13780; from 1100, 12040, 11760; from 1300, 11730; from 1400 to 2000, 11690; and until 0500, 6140. But he`s still clueless that short-lived 15390 in the clear was replaced by 15230 under China a week ago. And reconfirmed today at 1408, way under 15230 Sackville, not on 15390 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** FRANCE. 21450, whilst scanning 13m band for signals, Nov 17 at 1414 I hear a conversation in French. It was not there a minute before, and it cuts off in less than a minute. I quickly tune to RFI 15300 and hear a similar conversation continuing. And leave one receiver on 21450 in case it come back: it does, at *1434 again for less than a minute, but long enough to confirm // 15300. Something weird is going on at Issoudun: 21450 being a bandedge channel is off-limits both to hams and broadcasters, and would be considered by hams an intruder. Possibly an Issoudun transmitter`s tuning mechanism defaults to the low edge of the 13m band unless overridden, but it ought to be programmed to start at 21455 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** GUAM. 5765-USB --- whew, after missing a few days, AFN is back, Nov 17 at 1342 check, but it`s still country music instead of news/talk (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** INDIA. 9870, AIR Vividh Bharati Service, has been incoming well lately also in our evenings, but Nov 17 at 1421 instead of Indian pop music there is a WW discussion in Hinglish: mainly Hindi but liberally sprinkled with English words and expressions, such as costume designer (repeatedly), so I think, professional actor, and mostly, ultimately, director, you know, to be prepared, on the job, etc. It is too bad that there is no way to say such things in pure Hindi, but a bonus for us nons. This lasted until 1330 when there was a bit of film music, 1331 into drama with sound effects. Incomparably better tho fluttery signal on 9870 VBS than on unusable AIR GOS 9690, or AIR National Channel 9425, all of which are supposedly from same site Bengaluru, azimuths respectively being 335, 108, 18 degrees (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** INDONESIA. 9526-, VOI not off the air again today, Nov 17 at 1352 with music, IADs as ever, English ID with ``Sound of Dignity``.

This gives me another opportunity to point out, tho expect I shall still be ignored, that Kol is merely a word meaning Voice, and it is incorrect always to put it in caps KOL as if it were an acronym or initialism, or the entire name of the station.

[HCDX] Radio in Somalia
How do you create a radio network in the world’s most dangerous country, where war is raging, journalists are killed, and Islamic extremists have banned music, sports and women’s voices on the airwaves? If you’re the organizers of Somalia’s newest radio station, you ignore the death threats and defy the bans. You broadcast plenty of music and soccer matches – and you hire female announcers, too. More related to this story The new station is Bar-Kulan (the Somali phrase for “meeting place”), which this year became the first non-partisan radio broadcaster in Somalia. Because it refuses to obey the extremists, its 50 employees must take precautions for their safety. They often use pseudonyms and voice-overs to protect their identities. And while the station has a network of correspondents across Somalia, along with an FM transmitter in Mogadishu, its main studio has been placed in neighbouring Kenya, where it can operate a little more freely. Their listeners must be equally cautious. If they live in areas of Mogadishu controlled by the extremist militias, they often secretly listen to Bar-Kulan on earphones or cellphone radios, giving the impression that they’re merely having a phone conversation. “They could get into trouble for listening to us,” says Farah Lamaane, program co-ordinator at Bar-Kulan. “They are warned by the extremists not to listen to Bar-Kulan, but they still do. They know how to survive. So they are listening quietly and discreetly.” Funded by the United Nations with a $1.7-million budget this year, the station has insisted on scrupulous independence, covering all sides of the conflict and refusing to take orders from anyone – not even the African Union military forces that guard the besieged government in Mogadishu. The military asked for three hours of daily coverage of its activities, but the station refused. “Nobody can tell us what to broadcast,” Mr. Lamaane says. “It’s up to the Somalis. It’s up to us.” In a country ravaged by war for the past 20 years, radio is the most popular medium. Somalia is still largely a rural society with an oral culture. Literacy is low, electricity is scarce, and infrastructure has been largely destroyed by decades of war. Radio has a long history in Somalia and it remains crucial to the national culture. Yet radio in Somalia is under assault. The extremist Islamic militias have seized radio transmitters and shut down radio stations that they dislike. When they banned music this year, most radio stations obeyed. Some used the sounds of gunfire or car horns to replace music. Bar-Kulan was one of only two stations that refused to obey the anti-music edict. For journalists, Somalia is one of the most hostile countries in the world. In past two years alone, 11 journalists have been killed in Somalia. Many people refused to accept jobs at Bar-Kulan when they discovered that it required frequent travel into Somalia. There are many radio stations in Somalia, but most are loyal to local clans or officials, and some openly engage in hate speech. The government station, Radio Mogadishu, is seen as a propaganda organ that lacks credibility. Bar-Kulan, by contrast, covers the news on all sides, even the extremists. Its only rule is that it promotes peace, tolerance and reconciliation. Launched eight months ago, Bar-Kulan now broadcasts 24 hours a day on FM, along with two hours a day on shortwave. It also offers live streaming on its website, mostly for the Somali diaspora in countries such as Canada. About a quarter of its employees are female. Its music programming is drawn from a unique archive of about 6,000 Somali songs, ranging from K’naan (the Somali-Canadian pop singer) to more traditional songs. Much of its programming is youth-oriented, since nearly half of Somalia’s population is younger than 15. During the World Cup this year, Bar-Kulan was the only Somali radio station authorized to broadcast the matches. It was a coup that dramatically boosted its audience ratings, although its soccer announcers and analysts could not afford to travel to South Africa, where the tournament was played, broadcasting instead from the studio, where they watched the matches on television. The station also carries a regular series of religious programs by Islamic leaders, including quotations from the Koran that emphasize the themes of tolerance and harmony. The extremist militias are furious at the music, the sports and the female announcers on Bar-Kulan’s airwaves. “All of us receive threats by e-mail and telephone,” Mr. Lamaane says. “We just ignore it. Nothing has happened to us so far. It’s in the hands of God.” The founding director of Bar-Kulan is a Canadian radio consultant, David Smith, based in Johannesburg, who previously helped to create radio networks in the Democratic Republic of Congo and the Central African Republic. He jokes that the extremist militias in Somalia
