Hi gang,
I fat fingered the keyboard this morning. I meant to type 1700, but hit the
"9" key in the log for Bangldesh Betar, so I should have typed that I
checked back at 1700. Corrected log is below.
Sorry for any inconveniences caused!
4750 BANGLADESH Bangladesh Betar heard at 1600 GMT on 14 Oct. in
Bangladeshi with time pips, full ID, short newscast and then music program
of traditional and modern mx. Brief announcements by OM between songs.
Powerhouse S5 signal. I was very surprised as I had not heard them at this
strength before. Checked back at 1700 but they were starting to fade
already. Maybe propagation was good this day...

** COSTA RICA. REE relay, 3350, with hum and whine, 0559 Oct 15 sign-off
announcement said would be back to CAm at 1100 on 15930 and 15170 in the 19
meter band. I think that`s what he said, in Spanish, but was not recording.
Should be 5930 and 15170. Must recheck (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. RHC, 6220, UT Wed Oct 15 at 0553, Arnie Coro wrapping up DXUL; very
poor signal and fading out. But then, there isn`t supposed to be any signal on
this frequency, a leapfrog mixing product of 6060 over 6140. The latter, BTW,
still has quite a constant hum on it. Why is that so hard to fix? Maybe it`s
not just a patchcord making a bad connexion (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** INDONESIA [and non]. VOI is back on 9526 kHz for the local evening
broadcasts, morning here. On Oct 13 and 14 it was still on 11786, but Oct 15 at
1216 tell-tale het with something on 9525, Suara Indonesia ID heard immediately
during the 1200 hour in Indonesian. At 1229 checked 11785 area and detected
nothing on 11786, but there were very weak carriers on 11785.0 and another one
slightly below, which could be Brasil rather than Indonesia. After 1246 mostly
songs on 9526.
Anyhow, this puts English at 1300-1400 back on a good clear frequency, long may
it last. Around July 26 it had switched from 9526 to 11785v; see DXLD 8-085.
1259 Oct 15 ending Indonesian hour, gave website. 9525 het went off at 1300
sharp.
That was presumably Poland in English from 1200, via Wertachtal at 300 degrees.
So that`s the downside of VOI going back to 9526, especially for listeners in
ENAm, but Poland has not been listenable here anyway all summer. However, in
B-08 Poland goes back to 9450 via Nauen an hour later in English at 1300-1400,
// Nauen 7325.
1300 VOI with one more Indo ID, website, 1301:30 opening English with good
signal, http://www.voi.co.id plugged, and as always does not attempt to
announce one correct frequency but all the possibilities: 9525 [sic], 11785
[sic] and 15150. 9526 has a continuous lite hum on it but not too annoying.
More annoying is the almost continuous musical bed under the talk, impeding
intelligibility; what a crutch, but VOI is hardly the only station afraid to
talk straight. The YL announcer`s accent does not help, either.
But in honor of the QSY, I listened to most of the hour. After program summary
including Today in History and Indonesian Wonders, 1303 into news. 1320 Today
in History about Anwar Sadat; 1322 ID with slogan ``voice of dignity`` ---
what`s this dignity business, implying other stations do not have it? Then
commentary about World Wildlife Fund. 1324, VOI, ``keeping dignity alive``!
Thank God for VOI promoting dignity. And news headlines.
1327 contact addresses, VOI, P O Box 1157, Jakarta 10110 and english @
voi.co.id Better put INDONESIA in big letters, lest your letter go to US ZIP
10110, which of course is in New York City. I see that WRTH 2008 does not show
the postal code.
1328, Indonesian Wonders; 1334 Let`s Speak Bahasa Indonesia, which on
Wednesdays is about grammar, this time explaining active vs passive voice, and
transitive active vs intransitive active. 1339 Music Corner, songs of the
1980s. 1353 addresses again.
1357 as always happens, hit by big het from CRI warming up 9525 for Russian
service at 1400. This is at 37 degrees from Shijiazhuang site, which means it`s
aimed not only at DV Russia but also at NAm (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A. Tuned in 9265v Oct 14 at 1400 to hear last few bars of Star Spangled
Banner, so WINB was just signing off, to 1400:25; then parked on 13570v and it
came on at 1402:25, first with buzz, hum, then cleared at 1403:30 for sign-on
announcement. But another day they were still on 9265 well past 1400, and are
scheduled to switch at 1200 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** VATICAN. 15235 fair with sad-sounding S Asian song, Oct 15 at 1440, didn`t
sound especially Catholic but immediately followed by Vatican Radio IDs
(pronounced as in English) in S Asian language, postal address I could not make
out but probably within India. 1444 talk about cardinals. Per EiBi this is
Hindi at 1430-1450 to be followed by Tamil (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 15000+, 2-way SSB in Spanish, slightly off WWV/H but QRMing them
heavily, presumably narco-traffickers or poachers, Oct 14 at 1356 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

Greetings from Kabul,
In case anyone thinks the life of a broadcast engineer is easy, have a look
at this short video in the forwarded message below. This is from the
Society of Broadcast Engineers listserver. The gentleman is racking in the
high power circuit breaker on a Harris DX transmitter series. We don?t know
the result of what happened to him, but I assure you it can?t be good. It
killed the monitor camera as well.
Hopefully everyone will forgive me for straying a little from loggings.

The link below is one of the 'holy *' moments no one ever wishes to
participate in.? At first glance the event appears to be part of the DX
series of 200 kW transmitters.? Maybe someone else can tell for sure.? The
CB's handles 1,200 amps (if memory serves).? Each 200 kW TX can be combined
for higher power ratings, I've seen 600 kW but I know there is at least one
1 MW in the Philippines.? The guy is racking in a CB home when *something
happened*, wish I knew more....

Be careful out there....

** ANGUILLA. DGS, 11775, Oct 15 at 2142, just open carrier having lost
modulation, before nominal QSY time 2200 to 6090. Via WWCR 13845, PMS was weak

13680, but OK on 11760. 13680 still missing at 2117 recheck while 11760 had
Mailbag show with ``Ed Newman``.
RHC Arabic missing from 11800 at 2045, but OK on 11750. After 2100 both are
supposed to be in Spanish. At 2118, 11800 had reappeared with strong, distorted
signal in Spanish, but gone again at 2121, leaving presumed Bulgaria with much
weaker signal, while 11750 had the usual heavy SAH from interfering KSDA
Chinese during this hour. At 2141, 11800 was on once again, overmodulated, SAH
with Bulgaria, M&W talking an echo apart from // 11750 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** GERMANY [non]. 11795 with news in American English Oct 15 at 2042, weak and
poor with splatter from WHRI 11785. My first guess was VOA, but scheduled as DW
English via Rampisham (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NIGERIA. VON, 15120, Oct 15 at 2049 with Nigerian news, good signal and
fairly good modulation but squeezed by splatter from Spain 15110 and WYFR
15130. Intelligibility and studio modulation quality decreased when switched
from M to W announcer. This closes at 2100 anyway (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTEJNING DIGEST)
** U S A. Not only is KVOH active on 17775, but strong enough Oct 15 at 2042 to
bring with it the wide, dirty spur around 17921-17923, matching music on the
fundamental; also much weaker 147 kHz on the other side around 17628. I was
wondering whether the LA wildfires were threatening it again on the mountaintop
of Simi Valley (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

Bolivia, 5925.51, Emisoras Pio XII, 0145-0235 Turning in a good
report on this station. Initially noted two males in conversation using
the Spanish language. At 0152, probably just for a break, music is
presented. After one tune, the comments continue. On the hour, an
ID by a female. Caught a couple of words such as "Bolivia & Americani"
then back to more talk. Signal began to fail from a good at 0145 to a
poor by 0215. Checked back at 0234 and station was still hanging in there
with a fair level. (Chuck Bolland, October 16, 2008)
Sao Tome, 6080, Voice of America, 0217-0220 Heard the Wednesday
debate between the two candidates. This broadcast was a second or two
behind the TV broadcast. Shortwave signal could have been better since
it was being covered with some noise. (Chuck Bolland, October 16, 2008)
Bolivia, 6134.81, Radio Santa Cruz, 0220-0230, At tune in, noted a female
in Spanish language comments. It turns out that she is talking with a
second
woman and this is a telephone conversation. So we're listening to, it
seems,
a telephone call in program. Signal was fair. (Chuck Bolland, October 16,
2008)
Iran, 7235, Voice of Justice, 0303-0315 A program of English with news and
commentary about Iran and the USA. "This is the Voice of Justice, live from
Iran. It is now time for US foreign policy" Female gives opinions and
comments
on US policy. Signal was good. (Chuck Bolland, October 16, 2008)

Some decent catches these last hours!
4810 INDIA AIR Bhopal heard in Hindi at 1708 on 15 Oct. until 1742 s/off,
with the longest piece of music I have heard since Kraftwerk's Autobahn and
Alice's Restaurant. The piece of music was playing when I tuned in at 1708
and was finally over at 1729! Fair signals and no QRM. Why do these
regional Indian stations sign off at 1742? Seems like an odd time....
4810 ARMENIA, Armenian Natl. R.,, decided to stay on freq. after AIR Bhopal
and await s/on of Armenia. It appeared a few seconds before 1800 on 15 Oct.
with a strong carrier but low audio. Audio finally came up around 1805
with man in Arabic talk, ID and traditional music. Signal was fair but QRM
had started from a rather distorted signal (probaly a spur off of one of the
local MW transmitters) that hit it pretty hard.
5986 MYANMAR, Myanmar R., heard at 0016 on Oct. 16 in Burmese with talks by
female announcer and pop music from a YL artist. Must have been a feature
on an artist because the same YL was singing every song. Positive station
ID at 0032. Poor signals but no QRM, however with severe fading. Rather
happy with this one. Now if they would only QSL!
6010, BAHRAIN, R.Bahrain from Abu Hayan trasnmission site, 60 kW, heard at
0140 on 16 Oct. with poor signals, but no noticeable damage from IRIB this
time. Program of blues music with time pips on the hour and positive ID in
EG. No announcements between the songs. Was able to confirm via //
streaming audio from their site.
