Reporters Without Borders appeals to president over threat to take foreign
radios off air
Reporters Without Borders has sent a letter to President of Azerbaijan,
Ilham Aliyev appealing to him to intervene after the National Broadcasting
Council announced it planned to take three foreign radios stations off the
FM band by 2009. They are the BBC, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty and Voice
of America.
The worldwide press freedom organisation said in its 3 November letter that
it was ?dismayed? by these ?shocking statements? by the council?s chairman,
Nushirvan Magerramli, announcing the bans on 31 October.
The organisation pointed out that the three media involved ?provide
comprehensive, high quality and objective news?. and ?contribute
fundamentally to the continued pluralism that is virtually non-existent
elsewhere in the Azerbaijan media. It stressed that ?their popularity -
particularly that of RFE/RL - demonstrates this?.
Reporters Without Borders also condemned what it called a ?very serious
strategic mistake? that ?it would strongly condemn should it happen?. ?How
could it not be seen as a desire to step up control of the country?s media
landscape and a mark of political failure ?? The organisation asked.
The organisation pointed out that ?these radios would not disappear because
of this, because they would be able to broadcast on short wave as happened
during the Soviet era. It would only have the effect of lowering the quality
of reception for listeners.?
Stressing that it was not ?not too late?, Reporters Without Borders urged
President Aliyev to ?reject this decision?, and to distance himself from ?a
counterproductive act for Azerbaijan?, and ?to let it be known that foreign
media are not a threat to your authority and that they play a key role in
providing news and information to your citizens.?
Finally, the organisation urged the president to open a dialogue with the
representatives of the three radios and to plan, if necessary, the
construction of new transmitters.
Chairman of the National Broadcasting Council, Nushirvan Magerramli, said on
31 October that the three radios, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, BBC and
Voice of America in the Azeri language should stop broadcasting on FM from
2009. ?Azerbaijan is not interested in foreign radios on its national
frequencies,? he said.
He added that over the past few years, Russian and Turkish televisions, as
well as French and Russian radios, have lost their frequencies. The decision
could be applied gradually, he said. The radios involved all broadcast on
FM, RFE/RLand VOA on 101.7 and the BBC on 103.3.(rsf.org)

14 November 2008: Went up to the remote micro-DXpedition site to catch the
Asians fading out and the Euros fading in on 41m and below. In summary, it
appears the transition is around 1500-1600 here locally. The 49mb is
quietest (least amount of stations) at that point. Had 2 antennas up (see
below).
RX: JRC NRD-535D and Eton E1
ANT: 315' at 50? Beverage (BOG), and 394 ' at about 0? (1355-1600) changed
to 95? after 1600.
QTH: Pennsylvania State Game Lands #26
Duration: 1355-1920 UTC
Solar Indices: Solar Flux = 68, A Index = 1, K Index = 0. No storms.
WX: Foggy (100 yard visibility!!), warm, mid 50's.
MEXICO 6104.91 Candela FM (pres.) 1356 tlk by M in def. SP. Better on
50? than on the 0? BOG. Difficult audio at this time even w/AGC off. Mx
bridge at 1358, then W anncr, and weak carrier popped up on 6105. Could
definitely tell this was in SP but imposs. to copy an ID. Brief canned
anmnt at 1359. A little stronger on peak at 14009 w/alternating M and W and
then Rock mx bridge at 1401 followed by M anncr again. Still going past
1500!! Pretty slick professional pgming from what it sounded like. (14
Nov.)
Nothing on 90mb PNGs at 1352 using the 0? BOG. (14 Nov.)
No sign of 3815U Greenland either at 1400 or 1500. Only a Ham net on 3813.
(14 Nov.)
No sign of 9730.8 Myanmar on 0? BOG at 1354 check, but was getting near
readable audio at home prior to this micro-DXpedition. (14 Nov.)
CUBA 5025 R. Rebelde Playing "Thunder Island" at 1409. Stronger on 0?
BOG. This, a weak carrier on 5030, and extremely weak carrier on 4800 the
only 60mb signals coming in. Also CODAR!! (14 Nov.)
Did a check of 49mb from 1414-1425 comparing both 0? and 50? BOGs. In
summary, excluding the Canadians, was getting audio from a few obvious
Asians using the 0? BOG, but mainly just weak carriers using the 50? BOG.
Noticed Euros starting to fade in after 1630 (11:30 AM locally here). (14
Nov.)
BELGIUM 9970 RTB 1440 W interviewing M in FR. Much better on the 50?
than on the 0?. (14 Nov.)
USA 9264.95 WINB 1456 "Last Day Prophet" pgm, cut off at 1457, then NA
and ID w/freq change-over anmnt by M, and off at 1459*. Found on 13570 at
1502 but carrier distorted. (14 Nov.)
PALAU?? 9965 WHRI 1510 M w/rel. tlk in EG, sometimes quoting scriptures.
Finally instru. mx at 1528, then ID and South Bend IN addr at 1529.
1530-1559 nonstop instru. rel. mx. World Harvest R. ID at 1559. Weak and
slightly readable w/quick fading. Wasn't there before 1500. Was looking
for Palau. Don't see this listed or logged anywhere. (14 Nov.) (see
below)
UNID. 7520 UNID. Extremely weak carrier here at 1600+ on 95? BOG, but did
hear M anncr at 1616 on 50? BOG. Pakistan?? Farda (Thailand)?? (14 Nov.)
ZANZIBAR 11735 R. Tanzania Zanzibar On at 1640 w/Hi-life mx. (14 Nov.)
UAE 6180 FEBA 1720-1730* lively AR choral mx, M 1722 briefly, then more
mx sounding like Horn of Africa style. 1729 FEBA IS, then Pop-like instru.
mx and off. Weak. (14 Nov.)
UNID. 4800 UNID. 1726-1743, Decent signal here going off and on several
times. Sounded like someone testing. Must be something local (east coast
NA). (14 Nov.)
ALGERIA 6300 R. Arabe Saharaui Democratica Already on at 1753 w/faint AR
mx. Better on 95?. (14 Nov.)
EGYPT 9250 Radio Wadi el-Nil (pres.) Hrd pre-1755. Sounds
middle-eastern. Rumbling carrier like Egypt. (14 Nov.)
RUSSIA 6055 V.O. Russia Huge signal signing on at 1800 w/ID by W. Seems
way too strong to be coming from Europe at this time. S-6 strength. (14
Nov.)
NIGERIA 15120 V.O. Nigeria 1818 pgm on Right of Women. Still carrying
pgm at 1824 check. Nice ID w/1830 TC at 1830. Some adj. QRM. (14 Nov.)
ANTARCTICA?? 15476 R. Nac. Arcangel San Gabriel?? Getting a carrier here
at 1833. Sounded like M anncr at 1908 check but couldn't be 100% sure. (14
Nov.)
EGYPT 6289.81 R. Cairo Came on sometime between 1840-1845. Off freq too.
(14 Nov.)
UNID. 7215.07 UNID. M tlk in FR at 0537. Some actualities/sound-bites.
Apparent nx or press pgm. Was there at 0600 ToH but not at 0612. Getting a
lot of slop QRM from AR on 7210, I guess Fana. (15 Nov.)
USA 9495 WYFR 0559 IS theme song. Not very strong. Was hoping for
Abkhazia. (15 Nov.)
UNID. 5800 UNID. Something here w/huge S-9 +25 strength at 0619 w/AM
signal playing code. Only groups of 5 letters. No messages. Code practice
maybe??? Odd that its in AM mode. (15 Nov.)

** ARGENTINA. RAE with Suplemento DX, in Spanish, Friday Nov 14 at 2156 UT, its
hour-earlier DST timing, on 15344.8, announcers reading various schedules; only
poor. Program concluded with ``DX`` in code mixing with 2200 automatic
timesignal. No QRMorocco (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BULGARIA. R. Bulgaria resumed 15700, Nov 15 after a few days off for
adjustments(?). At 1351 with music, splatter somewhat, but not the spikes out
to 30 kHz I had been observing before it went off (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** CANADA. Checking out a report that RCI had been inaudible in Illinois on
9755 a few nights before: at least on UT Nov 14, RCI was indeed on 9755 in
English at 0040 check with The Link, but rather weak, and weaker than Rep?blica
via Sackville on 9785. We are facing low winter evening MUFs, especially from
stations that are relatively close, skipping over or just not propagating. 6100
meanwhile was VG in Radio Sweden relay. Yes, RCI should certainly be on the
lower frequency in B than in A season. I guess they are a bit fuzzy about basic
propagation (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [and non]. Hee hee, DentroCuban Jamming Command ruining reception of
RHC on 9600, Nov 13 at 2315, while jamming on 11835 against R. Rep?blica was
much less effective. Commies vs Commies! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** EQUATORIAL GUINEA. R. Africa seems irregular, but confirmed on 15190, Nov 14
at 2150 with preacher singing (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA [and non]. VOI, 9526, had been clear during the 13-14 UT hour when
English is scheduled, so even tho it is almost 1 kHz off-frequency, no het to
worry about. But Nov 14 at 1339 a strong carrier was cutting on and off 9525,
as well as an hour later at 1449 check. It could be anybody testing, but I
would like to suspect WHRI, which is registered for 9525 for only one hour at
21-22 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** JAPAN [and non]. Listening to World Interactive, Sat Nov 15 at 1410 on
NHKWNRJ via Sackville, 11705, this time with considerable pre-echo via Yamata
direct. This time the relay cut off at 1429* before the outro announcement
about when the next English broadcast would be, 2200. That uncovered a good
signal from Yamata with the announcement unimpeded (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST) gd
** LAOS [non]. Hmong Lao Radio via WHRI, 11785, Sat Nov 15 until 1500, no break
for ID, and immediately into Hmong World Christian Radio for another semi-hour,
including website http://www.hwcr.us where we see it is a.k.a. Voice of Hope, a
slightly overused slogan (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** LIBYA. V. of Africa, in English, Nov 14 at 1418 much better on 21695 than //
17725, robotic declarations from the self-assured Qaddafi spoxeman, about
African development, S?n?gal, mentioning several alfabetical UN agencies; at
the moment was also strongest station on 13m, with Spain 21610 soon gaining on
it. At 1446 recheck, 21695 was down below the level of 17725 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NEW ZEALAND. RNZI, 11725, Nov 15 at 0657 starting playing Copland`s Fanfare
for the Common Man, then cut it off after a few notes for frequency change
announcement to 9765, Bell Bird, and off. How rude! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** SAUDI ARABIA. BSKSA, Riyadh, 17895 with Qur`an, Nov 15 at 1408. Altho some
such broadcasts are quite beautiful musically, this one was not. The reciter
had a most unpleasant delivery, including yodel-like sounds (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TURKEY. VOT, The DX Corner, Sat Nov 15 at 1352-1357 on 12035, tuned in
missing first minute. Chief announcer was reading partial schedules of
Portugal, Slovakia, as they have appeared recently in DXLD, and in between an
item about Romania`s 100 kW transmitter being back on air Saftica since Oct 8
with schedule. Besides his accent, he was going far too fast, for even me to
copy everything accurately even if I had wanted to. What`s the point of such a
program? The Portugal schedule is so complex it does not lend itself to being
conveyed verbally, especially in such a hurry. He also kept referring to the
Slovakia broadcasts around 0100 as to ``North Africa`` rather than North
America!
He added one more item about VOT itself, that from Dec 17, Dari, and Pashto,
and Afghan Uzbek to Afghanistan would expand from 30 to 60 minutes, and Bosnian
would be on FM frequency TBA.
This contradicts one version of the B-08 schedule which showed:
Dari-Uzbek-Peshtu(2) 7155 41 1600-1700 CAK 250
Dari-Uzbek-Peshtu(3) 7155 41 1600-1730 CAK 250
(2): This transmission will be on the air 26 October-31 December 2008
(3): This transmission will be on the air 01 January-28 March 2009
I.e. the three languages are already sharing a one hour block which would be
expanded to a one-sesquihour block on January 1. And is that Dec 17 date
correct? Dragan Lekic heard VOT announce a schedule change in Serbian effective
Nov 17. One might try to monitor Saturday/UT Sunday repeats of DX Corner at 51
or 21 minutes after the hours.
Repeated at 1949-1955 UT on webcast starting with Iran in English B-08 schedule
first, then as above (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WWRB on new 3215, scheduled at 22-02 UT, before WWCR uses it from
0200. Nov 13 at 2315 check, 3215 had Brother Scare (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. RNA, Brasil, 11780, good signal with music until 0700 Nov
15, but then open carrier for 3 minutes before resuming modulation. During that
pause I could detect something else on frequency, much weaker making a SAH ---
then the unmistakable Scriptures for America theme music, so it was WWCR, 2 x
5890! Haven`t heard that particular harmonic before. Fundamental is usually
very strong, so maybe receiver-produced. The preselector was peaked properly on
11 MHz band (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WBCQ again this Saturday with unscheduled Brother Scare broadcast on
15420-CUSB, Nov 15 at 1533, as he was working himself into a lather, // 9330.0
--- yes, I was pleased to find that, following my urging, WBCQ has adjusted its
31m frequency from 9329.9 so there will no longer be a het with the Syrian
carrier later in the day, or anything else on the correct frequency (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [non]. VOA on 9520, Nov 15 at 1527 with NHL news, VOA World News Now
ID, fluttery and poor, Today in History. At 1532 found it was not // 9760 which
had Special English. This is via Sri Lanka at 49 degrees; further usage of
9520: 16-17 Wertachtal at 45 degrees, 17-18 Biblis at 63 degrees, 20-21
Thailand at 22 degrees, tho I have not researched whether all of that is in
English; no, Eibi has, and all the other hours are R. Liberty in Russian.
Also on 7520 at 1536 Nov 15, VOA Spe-cial Eng-lish news in English re divorce
of former Thai PM, // 9760. 7520 is also Tinang, Philippines, 275 degrees
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** VATICAN. VR is a regular here on 7250 in the 0600-0700 period, and
especially enjoyed some classical organ music at 0652 Nov 14. But this was just
fill following Latin Mass at 0630, also scheduled on 15595, 11740, 9645, 5965,
4005 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ZANZIBAR. 11735 with Zanzibar rap, fair Nov 15 at 1741. I rather prefer
their traditional music (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. The rapid pulsing believed to be OTH radar ranged from 15180 to
15205, especially bothering GFA on 15185, Nov 14 at 1415. Would it be too much
to ask for them to keep this out of the SWBC bands? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** SAINT HELENA. Radio Saint Helena Day monitoring, Sat Nov 15 on 11092.5-USB:
2000 tune-in to ``Life on the Ocean Waves`` theme song, and opening
announcements, but too weak to really copy anything said. There was some ute
QRM on the side. 2010 some music which sounded like flute and mbira, then drums
too, and decided it was Japanese in honour of the current target area. Some
more talk at 2018, but lost signal at 2020, as I hear some others did too. A
good time to stop until later as I had other things to do, such as watching
Nova and Nature on PBS.
Retune 2206: signal about the same as two hours earlier, now presumably toward
Europe, with bluegrass music, 2210 ``Back in the USSR``. Then improving
somewhat. 2212 taking a call from somewhere it is 3:45 a.m., so must be India.
2228 acknowledging a number of DX clubs, signal grows some more, strong enough
to switch in attenuation on FRG-7 with longwire, to diminish `pumping`. 2229
starts announcement in Spanish, but audio breaks up and modulation lost, or
barely detectable ? what happened? It was time to rotate the antenna toward
North America.
I wonder if like on previous occasions, when they tried to do this, the SWR
went haywire because the signal was reflecting off some nearby metal object in
that direction?! Fortunately, I had backup entertainment, Marion`s Attic on
WBCQ 7415 via another receiver.
2247 noticed that RSH was back with music, ``Bridge Over Troubled Waters``;
S9+12. 2251 message from the postmistress giving dates of past and future
philatelic issues, followed by what may have been an Xmas song.
2300 reading an e-mail from Larry Yamron greeting Dave Valko; giving e-mail
address and phone number which could not copy. 2302 song ``Wind Beneath My
Wings``; 2307 message apparently from a visitor, did not get his name. 2311
country music; 2314 addresses including one at hotmail.co.uk 2319 ``Joy to the
World``, jazzed up; brief QRM from some carrier hets but did not want to detune
to locate them.
2322 full ID with SW and MW frequencies, asking for reports; had received
400(?) e-mails. Fax(?) QRM on low side worsens; song by Gene Autry(?). 2330
``God Save the Queen`` which one would take as a sign-off, but kept on going at
2331 with other music on slide guitar. 2334 mentioning about to rejoin BBCWS
relay (at hourtop?), then no more announcements but soft jazz still at 2337,
2341; 2344 started another piece then finally cut it off, that was presumably
it, and I stopped listening.
Most of this was on the usual rig, FRG-7 with E-W external random wire, and/or
a longer mostly NW/SE random wire which usually picks up more local noise, but
I also tried the Sony ICF SW-07, which has tighter selectivity avoiding the QRM
on side; it also step-tunes, so hard to get the SSB pitch just right. Signal
strength to the ear was about the same on it, using the Sony loop in a
south-facing window. Thanks to all involved for another enjoyable RSHD (Glenn
Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

up on fre. At 0130, they were already on in mid-programming. Got a solid ID
immediately and then they went into a talk and music show with the
semi-middle eastern-style music. They were definitely on already, so this
bears watching. I will continue to check on them and see if this was a
special time on a Sunday or if they are now s/on at an earlier time.
