Eurooppa 5775 23.4. 2000- ITA: EMR via IRRS. Lisää EMR:n 30vuotisjuhlaohjelmaa- myös suomenkielisiä idejä mukana. Hyvin tässäkin SINPO 44544. AHE 5910 18.4. 0300- D: WRMI, Miami via Nauen, Saksa. WRMI:n idi tasalta, lähetti Radio Repúblican täysin asiallista ja mielenkiintoista ohjelmaa, aiheena mm. uusin digitekniikka. Työtä asema tekee uskossa voittoon, uskonsa kullakin. Tämä kuuluukin aivan eri maanosaan, kiitokset tiedoista. WRMI:n oma kotisivu ei tunne koko asiaa, aika ihmeellistä, toki on sekin aivan uutta ja ihmeellistä, että lähetys tuleekin Saksasta! Tietämätön on Radio Republicankin kotisivu. Onneksi on DX-kuuntelijoiden erinomainen verkosto. SSS 9290 23.4. 1400-1600 LVA: EMR. 30 vuotislähetys mainiosti SINPO 45544. AHE 9380 20.4. 1110- ISL: AFN Grindavik. "You re tuned to NPR Worldwide... morning edition". Taajuus on uudenpuoleinen, kaiketinkin Grindavik. USB. JKH 11690 6.5. 2020-2359 FIN: SWR, Virrat. Pitkästä aikaa asema hyvin myös täällä 25 mb:llä! Studiossa Rick Random... lopetteli oman osuutensa The House of Rising Suniin. Sitten Esa loppuajan. Ja Finlandian jälkeen 00 UTC taajuuden valtaa CRI. SINPO 45544! Myös 6170llä hyvä kuuluvuus vielä tähän aikaan. AHE Aasia 792 15.4. 1705- YEM: Radio Yemen. Yemen tyylikkäästi ranskaksi aivan häiriöttä... siis häiriökelien ansiosta. SSS 963 17.4. 1859- CYP: CBC Nicosia. Kajautti parit idit tasolla 5/5, ihmettä kerrakseen näinä aikoina, etelään suunnattu pitkälanka tuntuu tehoavan. SSS 1098 17.4. 1857- NCY: Radio Bayrak. Tarvitaan jo tällaisia ihmeellisiä kelejä, että Bayrak jaksaa pusertua esiin. Taajuutta häiritsevä asema on venäläinen noin taajuudella 1100, mutta tekemistä on slovakialaisenkin kanssa. Olen vieraillut asemalla, jolla oli ylenpalttisen kohtelias kohtelu... kuvankauniista sihteereistä nyt puhumattakaan. SSS 4750 4.5. 1610- BGD: Bangladesh Betaar. tuntuu lähettävän tässä, ilm. HS-ohjelmaa. TK 7295 6.5. 1720- MLA: RTM Kajang - Traxx FM. Asema kuului mukavasti kunnes IRIB Tehran aloitti samalla taajuudella 1727 UTC. Kuullostelin Traxx FM:mää myös 1845 UTC, jolloin kuuluvuus oli vielä parempi. JKH 9494.76 20.4. -1122* GEO: R Rep. Abkhazia, Soxum. Asema lopetti soittamalla muutaman nuotin kappaleesta "Raindrops Keep Fallin on My Head". Kuuluvuus oli heikonpuoleinen, varma IDi jäi saamatta. Kieli vaikutti venäjältä. JKH Oseania
1611 19.4. 1730-1805 AUS: Tentative: R Two?. Jää ilm. selvittämättä qth; taajuus oli ilm. 1610.992. Pop&Rock, yksi mahdoll. id. Kuului myös seuraavana päivänä Vatikaanin häiritessä. Aussit tulivat kuin tyhjästä molempina päivinä auringonlaskun aikaan kuuluen n puoli tuntia, kun BOG oli vielä pellolla lumitilanteesta johtuen. Erityisesti 20.4. oli lukuisia muitakin taajuuksia kuuluvissa, parhaiten 1701.08 Sydney. TK 1683.24 20.4. 1725-1810 AUS: Tentative: Club AM. Vahvimpia sinkkuja 1701 Sydneyn ohella. Kreikkaa, idtä pitää höylätä, mutta formaatin ja splitin perusteella lienee tämä. Tusinan verran aus-x taajuuksia auki. Varsinkin Länsi-ausseja kannattaa kyttäillä vielä toukokuussakin, reitti on sopivasti auki ja eu-qrm vähenee. TK Pohjois-Amerikka 1390 1.5. 0051- USA: WEGP Presque Isle, ME. Vähän yllättäen kun odotin lattareita. RLO/V 1540 1.5. 0156- CAN: CHIN Toronto, ON. Ei idiä, mutta etnistä ohjelmaa hyvällä kuuluvuudella ja Toronto vilahti puheissa. RLO/V 6175 13.4. 0400- CAN: Voice of Vietnam, Sackville relay. Sarjassamme mielenkiintoisia releointeja manittakoon tämä, lähetti espanjaa. Sackville releoi myös CRI:tä kiinaksi taajuudella 6020. 49 mb vaikuttaa mukavalta. SSS Keski-Amerikka 1660 1.5. 0045- PTR: WGIT Canovanas, PR. RLO/V 5025 17.4. 0030- CUB: Radio Rebelde, Bauta. Kv-listaa, sijalla 9 Laura Pausini. Lujaa yleiseen kelitilanteeseen nähden. JVH/A Etelä-Amerikka 1390 29.4. 0130- ARG: LR11 Radio Universidad Nacional de La Plata. Nousi unid brassin alta muutamaksi minuutiksi uutisbullalla "Notícias Universidad" ja temperaturalla "20 grados". PK 1390 14.4. 0159- B: ZYJ473 R Sul Fluminense, Barra Mansa RJ. Pääsiäisen rähmäkeleille jätin md:n nauhoittamaan lähes tyhjää taajuutta. Levyllekään ei kummia kertynyt, mutta kuinka ollakaan tunnin kuuntelun jälkeen parin minuutin nousu tasalle ja uuden aseman suuridit hienolla kuuluvuudella. Joskus näinkin. JHY/V 1470 15.4. 2350- URG: R Cristal del Uruguay, Las Piedras. Pääsiäisen häiriöpiikissä muutama kymppi töhisi, mutta vain tämä nousi kunnolla kuuluville. JVH/A 1540 29.4. 0108- B: ZYJ611 R.Baixa Verde, João Câmara, RN. 2-3 brassia kilpasilla. Tämä yleisin sieltä kuitenkin ponnahti jinglellään. Melko vaimeita sinkkuja 3
näin myrskyn aikaan. PK 1550 30.4. 0129-0133 BOL: CP115 Radio Caranavi. Tämä sama tuttu asemahan se oli joka dominoi usein tässä kevätkeleillä. Mielenkiintoisempi oli unid SS 1540:llä samaan aikaan mutta signaali jäi liian heikoksi jotta identiteetti olisi selvinnyt. PK 1620 28.4. 0227- ARG: Radio Italia, Buenos Aires. Hyvä yläbandin keli ARG-URG-linjalla. En tiennyt tällaista asemaa olevankaan. Samalla taajuudella ilmeisesti myös Radio Vida ja muita argentiinalaisia ainakin 1610, 1630 ja 1690. AM Libre, Montevideo 1410:llä myös hyvin. MKA 4781.5 27.4. 0021-0205 BOL: CP... R Tacana, Tumapasa. Saludoja ja musiikkia, loppuun pari idiä ja palabra de diosia viisi minuuttia. Ihan kohtuullinen kuuluvuus. JHY/V 29.4. 0145-0218 - Kuului hyvin, mutta vastaus voi olla vaikeampi tapaus. PEH 4826.5 29.4. 0230-0318 PRU: R Sicuani, Sicuani. Terveisiä ketsuaksi. Töpseli irti kesken rukouksen. PEH 4855 13.4. 0225- PERU: Radio La Hora, Cusco. Ilahdutti kiirastorstaiaamuna lausahtaen mm. "aquí en Cusco", mikä sen somempaa. SSS 4909.26 17.4. 0140-0432 EQA: Tentative: R Chaskis del Norte, Otavalo. Kuuluttaja käytti ääntä, mutta kohinaa piisasi ja audio oli sen verran kehno, että parista idistä huolimatta en lokaa varmana. UTC-5h. Lopetti ilman isompia seremonioita, tosin kuuluvuuskin heikkeni tuntuvasti 04 jälkeen. JVH/A 5940 18.4. 0446- B: Radio Guaruja Paulista. Kyseessä ei ole painovirhe, vanha tuttu ja vuoden 2003 DX-asema, joka kuuluu yleensä taajuudella 5045, yllätti tällä uudella taajuudellaan, jota ei edes aseman oma kotisivu (keskeneräinen) tunne. Tuttu "a radio da familia" -jingle kajahti ilm. Radio Melodían ollessa taustahälynä. SSS 6173.85 17.4. 0045- PRU: R Tawantinsuyo, Cusco. Felicitaciones. Pääsiäisen A=58 toi luureihin vain brasseja. Pari yötä myöhemmin kuului jo joitakin Andien asemia, pääosin heikosti. JVH/A 9720 18.4. 0500-0515 PRU: Radio Victoria, Lima. Harvinaisen vastenmielistä espanjankielistä uskonnollista propagandaa, jossa yksinkertaista naisihmistä jututettiin. Soittaa 05.00 UTC (yleensä myöhässä aikankin pari minuuttia) Perun kansallislaulun (ei kuitenkaan tänään) ja jatkaa sitten portugaliksi. Nainen huudahteli innoissaan siitä siunauksesta (vauraus, raha, onni, rakkaus ja kymmenet muut ihanat asiat), mitä tämä asema on tuonut tullessaan meille onnettomille maan matosille. Tarvitaan pitkä länsilanka, jotta tämän aseman saa kunnolla kuuluville. SSS 4
LEM 222 15.-21.1.2006 Jarmo Patala (JP) AOR-7030, JRC NRD-535, Icom IC-R75, MD-dekkejä Vesa-Jussi Rinkinen (VJR) EKD-511, Icom IC-R75, NRD 525, 2 Sony MD-dekkiä, audiosplitteri, Sony:n vahvistin Autopikajunalla saavuttiin Rovaniemalle 8 maissa aamulla. Pikaisen muonatäydennyspysähdyksen jälkeen jatkoimme Kittilän ja Pokan kautta. Suosittelemme tätä kyläkauppaa 934-tien varrella heti Rovanimen jälkeen. Omistaja olisi tarjonnut vielä kahvitkin takahuoneessa jos olisimme jääneet tarinoimaan mutta aikataulu ei antanut periksi. Punaisen mökin pihassa olimme hieman puolenpäivän jälkeen. Koksi-splitteriviidakko alkoi selvitä HAT:n hyvien dokumentaatioiden perusteella ja aloitimmekin peditionoppaiden suositusten mukaisesti ns. välittömän raportoinnin. JP avasi pään jo 1109 UTC (KYIZ 1620). VJR laski raporttilokistaan 41 raporttia ensimmäisen täyden kuunteluyön ja seuraavan päivän saldoksi. Järvet ja Ontarion alue nousi yleensä 2200 maissa. Jenkkejä tuli yhtämittaa aina seuraavaan iltapäivään asti. Alkuyön daytimerit todettiin mahdottomiksi. VJR esim. kuunteli uskonnollista 1500 khz jo 2145 kun aurinko ei ollut vielä laskenut Milford CT:ssä. Tasalta kuitenkin paukahti WLQV:n idit. Positiivista oli ettei WA-OR dominoinut niin kuin usein käy vaan MT-NM akseliltakin syntyi raportteja. Lähtöpäivän aamuna oli mielenkiintoiset itäpuolen kelit, asemia Ontariosta, Floridasta ja Kuubasta. X-bandia kytättiin tietysti ahkerasti. Iberiasta kuunneltiin RNE5 ja RNE1 breikit aamuisin. R5 osoittautui sittemmin hyväksi vastaajaksikin. 17.- 18.1 oli mukavat HI-töhäykset. Muutoin pohjoislanka toi vain Alaskaa vahvasti. Brasseja 19.1 yöllä. Japsit eivät erityisemmin juhlineet. Muutama kaupallinen saatiin kepitettyä 19. päivän töhäyksellä. Oseaniasta saatiin must-asemat Fiji, Tonga ja Marshall mutta etenkin 5AA Adelaide 1395 oli Japelle mieluinen nappaus. 18.1 pakkasen hipoessa kolmeakymmentä sähköt katkesivat kesken raportoinnin. Alkoi pikainen soittelu Inergiaan ja sulakkeiden tarkistelu Kristiinan eteisessä. Havaittiin pihan tolpasta mittaamalla yhden vaiheen olevan kokonaan pimeänä. Parin-kolmen tunnin päästä Inergia kävi vaihtamassa naapuritontin puolella olevan muuntajan sulakkeen. Miehet tulivat vielä otsalamppuineen siinä kolmen(?) maissa yöllä katsomaan miten dxkämpässä pärjätään. Äimistelivät laitteita ja sanoivat vaihtaneensa muuntajaan vähän suuremman sulakkeen. JP:n MD-dekki otti katkoksesta hieman siipeensä mutta rupesi taas toimimaan parin päivän buuttailujen jälkeen. MD-kuunneltavaa riitti molemmilla koko kevääksi sillä kummallakin oli kolme radiota aktiivisessa käytössä. Kaiken kaikkiaan onnistunut reissu vaikka typistyikin 6 päivän mittaiseksi VJR:n kiireiden takia. Raportteja yhteensä VJR 146 (NA 109) ja JP:lläkin paukkui satasen raja. 5

Reportedly they run 720 with their other new TRAM transmitter now, the old tube rig has been already scrapped. On this occasion it became also known that since late October 2005 a new 100 kw transmitter is on air from Rohrdorf on 666, replacing a 300 kw tube unit which was run at 150 kw and said to be power-hungry, leading SWR to choose this frequency for an overnight silence period.

public broadcaster RTVE is to announce the scrapping of 4500 jobs - about half of its current workforce. The most controversial part of the plan is the closure of Radio Nacional's Catalan service, Radio 4. The plan also calls for the closure of RTVE's television service in the Canary Islands. Most of the other cuts will affect RTVE's regional services in other parts of Spain. RTVE is heavily in debt and its audiences are declining. MW News UKRAINE 594 The BBC relays in Kyiv and Kharkiv will change from 612 to 594 on 10 April. The background: on initiative by Radio Baltic Waves (RBW) in Lithuania, the Lithuanian telecommunication authority had asked its Ukrainian counterpart to free 612 (which so far was not coordinated for UKR), in order to eliminate interference in the target area Belarus to the RBW transmissions on 612 from Vilnius. (Bernd Trutenau-LTU April 01, 2006) 594 BBC Kyyiv (Brovary) has moved to 594 this morning (ex 612) 612 BBC Kharkiv keeps anchored to 612 as before. It brought a bit of relief to me as my QTH is on equal distant from both sites, so when feeds were different at some hours it put additional QRM. 150-1600 Kyyiv carries BBC Russian while Kharkiv has WSE.

Here are the details of changes observed since my last visit there in 2004. The SW transmitter was running at 7 kw only when I visited but was told that they normally operate with 8.5 kw. I have monitored extensively and there was no spurious (near 4743 khz) of the 4760 khz frequency reported by by some dxers. (It must be some other AIR station) The new 100 kw Thomcast MW transmitter which was having problems during my last trip was serviced and in regular use now on 684 khz. The old 2x10 kw transmitters are on standby on 684 khz but tested regularly. The 10 FM Nautel transmitter on 100.9 MHz which was testing during my last trip is in regular use now from 5.25 am to 11.00 pm with an intersting schedule as follows: At 5.25 am they have sign on announcements in parallel to 4760 & 684 but without mentioning 100.9. Then at around 5.27am they quickly change over to relay of National Channel and from 5.57 am Vividh Bharathi programs are relayed from Mumbai. There are no local programs on 100.9 MHz but a new stereo studio is under construction for it. The Station Engineer now is Mr.V.M.Ratna Prasad 18
and the Asst. Station Engineer is Mr.Natarajan who both attended the Hamfest function. I also visited the tiny TV station in the nearby Havelock Island which operates on Channel 11 with only 10 watt. The equipment consists of 2 nos. of GCEL 126 transmitters (one is standby) which relays DD 1 programs from Delhi from 5.00 am to about midnight. They run on solar power. (Jose Jacob Apr.) BANGLADESH: As I was very busy with the Hamfest and DXpedition activities I could not find much time for BCDXing there. However in Port Blair I noted the following of great interest (not reported elsewhere it seems. Pardon me if it was already reported by others). Radio Bangladesh Home Service on 17 April 2006 on 7250 khz with Cricket Commentry in Bengali and on 20th April on 7315 at around 0730-0815 also in Bengali with lot of ads. At 0800 there was news and they had disappeared by 0815 when I checked. WRTH 2006 says that their HS tx is to be back on air by now and may be it was some tests that I heard. (Jose Jacob, Port Blair, Apr.) IRAQ: Radio in Iraq - updated February 2006 BBC Monitoring can confirm hearing the following broadcasters as of February 2006: AM stations (all frequencies in khz) 594 People's (Al-Nas) Radio - 0400-1500 603 Republic of Iraq Radio - southern Iraq 675 Republic of Iraq Radio (parallel with 98.3 MHz) - 0500-1510 [Inactive when checked ill January 2006] 909 Radio Nahrain (IMN), Basra 999 Radio Bilad (Lands) - 0500-1300 1030 AI-Salarn Radio - 0700-1700 1053 Al-Salam Radio - 0700-1700 (alternative to 1030 khz) 1071 Radio Babil (IMN), Hilla 1116 Dar al-salam Radio - 0500-1800 (parallel Aith 1152 khz and 91.0 MHz) 1152 Dar al-salam Radio - 0500-1800 (parallel with 1116 khz and 91.0 MHz) 1179 Voice of Iraq - 0400-1800 1206 Voice of the People of Kurdistan, in Arabic and Kurdish 1305 Al-Mustaqbal Radio (parallel with 95.5 MHz) 1395 AL-Mustaqbal Radio - southern Iraq 1593 Radio Free Iraq, in Arabic/VoA in English, Kurdish.

This station seems to relay DZRB-Radyo ng Bayan on 738kHz, but detail is unknown because of heavy QRM. In Japan, this frequency is mainly heard in evening, around 09:00 to 12:00.

They also broadcast in 7170 for a long time, but today (14.04.2006)onwards they changed their frequency from 7170 to 7275 khz. They also introduced podcasting service http://www.oli.sg (Raja Raja, India, April 14, DXLD) This is obviously because Singapore is leaving the 7100-7200 khz block to clear the way for Amateur Radio. Singapore has already given 19
permission to Singapore hams to use this segment with the exception of 7145, 7170 (Victor Goonetilleke, Sri Lanka, ibid.) AUSTRALIA: Talk station 1278 3AW (Melbourne Victoria) is about to do a swap in frequency with Magic 693 (3EE) On May lst 2006 3AW will move to 693 khz. Their current transmitter location at Lower Plenty has been a problem for years with poor reception around Melbourne and Victoria. Sister station Magic 693 (Part of Southern Cross Network) will do a straight swap and use 1278 khz. 693 khz out of Hoppers Crossing in Melbourne's west propagates well on the lower part of the band. It is interesting that 3AW will be next door to ABC 774 which is its main talk rival in Melbourne.(David Onley-AUS, via mwe e-list via MWN) AUSTRALIA: VL8T ABC Tennant Creek has been logged again on 2325/4910 in the end of April. Has been off for several months due to transmitter renewal works. (Various sources) AUSTRALIA: SBS Radio (Special Broadcasting Services) has a station on 1035 khz out of Wollongong, New South Wales. It replaces 1485 khz // 1107 and 1413. It's a blow to local DXers who have heard Solomon Islands, Pakistan and ZB New Zealand on this outlet in the past. (Dave Onley- via hcdx via MWN) AUSTRALIA: In the Mid West of Western Australia Geraldton's 98FM has an AM relay 1512 at Mullewa, about 380 kilometres north of Perth. The AM station can be heard regularly at night in Perth. For a while a fair chunk of the Mid West went without commercial radio when 6GE Geraldton went FM and could only be heard 60 kilometres from Geraldton unlike the old AM transmissions which went over 100 kilometres.. The people of the midwest then decided to set up an AM translator for 98FM (Keith Ashton-AUS. dxing.info forums 6/3.2006 via MWN) VANUATU: RADIO VANUATU GETS US$20,364 FROM AUSTRALIA Australian High Commissioner John Pilbeam has handed over a cheque for 2,181,000 Vanuatu vatu [US$20,364] on behalf of the Australian Government to the General Manager of Vanuatu Broadcasting and Television Corporation, Jonas Cullwick. These funds were made possible through AusAID funding and will be used to replace two Studio Transmitter Links that transmit Short Wave and Medium Wave frequencies from the main studio to the Emten Lagoon transmitter site. This transmission has not been operational since May 2005 and Radio Vanuatu has had to use alternative FM transmission to enable shortwave and mediumwave to be broadcast to the outer islands. "This alternative method, however, was unreliable and depended on a number of conditions, such as wind speeds [sic], that were often beyond the control of our local technicians," commented Mr. Cullwick. Radio Vanuatu plays a vital role in disseminating vital information to the wider rural population of Vanuatu, especially during the cyclone season, and these ongoing transmission problems from the studio to Ematen Lagoon have severely hampered this role. In presenting the check, Mr Pilbeam expressed Australia s ongoing commitment to the Vanuatu Government in ensuring that essential government services are delivered to all Vanuatu s people and particularly those living in the outer islands and hoped that this would mark another step in the continuing the relationship between Australia and Vanuatu Broadcasting and Television Corporation.

So far in 2006 1000 radios have been shipped and another 4000 are in production. Many people are aware of the danger that missionaries in Colombia face on a daily basis. In November, a story really brought it to life. Four missionaries on a peace mission to distribute Bibles and radios in a 70 foot boat on the Guavaire river were taken hostage by guerillas and their boatt was seized. They were held for 49 days in an area where one of the worst battles in the history of Colombia's Internal conflict was taking place. (Galcom Newsletter via DXLD) As we are in the midst of deploying thousands of Galcom solar radios tuned to our frequencies we are having trouble keeping our short wave transmitters on the air. Something is wrong with the electricity arriving at Lomalinda and the voltage regulators to our transmitters keep burning up. If we continue to operate without them the transmitters eventually are damaged. We are at our wits end trying to solve the problem as we have spent every available financial resource and still do not have a solution.
