Atacan la sede de Radio Nacional de Venezuela
http://www.radiomundial.com.ve/yvke/noticia.php?20395
La informaci?n la confirm? el periodista Ricardo Dur?n, quien tiene un programa
de radio en la estaci?n del Estado. "Sometieron a los vigilantes y se llevaron
equipos, duraron unos 20 minutos en el edificio", dijo.
El periodista adelant? la informaci?n v?a telef?nica en un contacto con VTV
Ricardo Dur?n, periodista, inform? v?a telef?nica este viernes en el espacio
Despert? Venezuela que transmite Venezolana de Televisi?n, que 4 hombres
irrumpieron de manera violenta en la sede de Radio Nacional de Venezuela (RNV)
el circuito radial del Estado, con sede principal entre La Florida y Chapell?n,
un popular barrio caraque?o, ubicado al norte de la ciudad. El hecho sucedi?
alrededor de las 2 de la madrugada de este viernes, justo cuando la emisora
transmit?a el programa La Hojilla en el que el Presidente Ch?vez particip? v?a
telef?nica con el grupo musical Dame Pa' Matala.
Se llevaron equipos, indic? Dur?n. A las 4 de la madrugada, cuando arrib? el
periodista, el CICPC ya se encontraba en el lugar. Coment? que "la excusa que
ped?an eran los cestatickets (...) recib?an informaci?n por celular, giraban
instrucciones, parec?a que sab?an lo que estaban haciendo, duraron 20 minutos
en la radio", se?al? el periodista, quien adem?s aclar? al principio del
contacto telef?nico que hasta esta hora (7:14 AM) no ten?a autorizaci?n de la
directiva de RNV para dar detalles.
En los pr?ximos minutos se esperan las declaraciones de Helena Salcedo,
directora del circuito.
El circuito RNV "cuenta con varios canales: Canal Informativo, que constituye
el canal bandera en materia informativa y de opini?n; Canal Cl?sico, destinado
a la difusi?n de obras musicales nacionales y extranjeras de corte cl?sico, as?
como de una programaci?n cultural variada; Canal Activa, cuya programaci?n est?
fundamentalmente dirigida a ni?os y j?venes; Canal Musical, dirigido a la
difusi?n de m?sica ligera y popular; Onda Corta Internacional cuya programaci?n
est? destinada a la difusi?n de noticias e informaciones a nivel
internacional", rese?a el portal Web de la emisora: www.rnv.gov.ve.

When I've had time this week, I've been hearing, what I presume to be, several
Chinese regional stations, during the 2300-0030 time frame. I say presumed due
to poor copy, usually lasting only minutes at a time, under strong QRN. This
leads me to believe that my 4980-unid from Feb 21, is probably Xijang PBS.
4775, SWAZILAND, TWR Manzini, 0445, Feb 24, English. M ancr preaching about
marriage & Mosaic law; fair. (Barbour-NH)
4820, TIBET, presumed Xizang PBS Lhasa, 2334, Feb 22, presumed Mandarin. Exotic
mx; M & W ancr w/ Mandarin sounding talk at 2339; poor-weak. (Barbour-NH)
4960, SAO TOME, VOA Pinheira, 0507-0525, Feb 28, listed Hausa. M ancr w/ nx;
field rpts; talk b/w short, indigenous music selections; fair. (Barbour-NH)
5050, CHINA, presumed V. of the Strait Fuzhou, 2312-2332, Feb 22, presumed
Mandarin. W ancr w/ Mandarin sounding talk; ballad at 2318; poor under QRN &
barely audible by BoH. (Barbour-NH)
5060, CHINA, presumed Xijiang PBS Urumqui, 0037-0047, Feb 27, Mandarin. M & W
ancr w/ talk; canned ancment at 0039; various ancrs w/ presumed ad string;
v.poor; quickly unusable under QRN. (Barbour-NH)
5955, AUSTRIA, V. of Vietnam Moosbrunn, 1908-1916, Feb 27, listed Vietnamese. M
& W ancr w/ talk over stringed instrument; pop-like ballads; fair. (Barbour-NH)
6009.9v, COLOMBIA, LV de Consciencia Lomalinda, 0946-1005, Feb 25,
English/Spanish. Typical US brokered relg prg in EG; M ancr w/ SP translation;
continuos thru ToH; fair at best; too noisy to get a good lock on frequency.
(Barbour-NH)
9704.2, ETHIOPIA, R. Ethiopia Addis-Ababa, 1918-1925, Feb 27, vernacular.
Various ancrs w/ presumed nx; mention of Al-Arabiya & Sudan; HoA-like mx bits
b/w items; W ancr at 1924 into up-tempo, indigenous mx; fair; //7110-poor.

UNID. ASIAN 7191.03 Jammer?? Fairly strong signal by extremely weak
audio from 1236-1300+ with just nondescript mx but sounds kind of Chinese.
(28 Feb.)
DEM. REP. OF THE CONGO Got a reply from Richard McDonald at Radio Kahuzi in
Bukavu, confirming my 26 Oct. 2007 reception on 6210. In his reply, he
states they were running 1044 watts at the time. And that "We were on the
air each Monday and Friday". Don't know if that means they are presently
off SW or not. I sent a f/up message asking for some info about the current
status. I suspect they're off and have been off. Richard goes on to say
he'll be in nearby Altoona in early April for a missionary conference and
hopes to get some help in "studio and broadcasting techniques". If
possible, I hope to meet him and gain more info on the station. (28 Feb.)
BANGLADESH LAOS Anyone hearing Bangladesh Betar on 7250 (1230) or LNR 6130
(1200) recently?? No sign of them here. Only what appears to be Russia was
heard on 6130 this morning at 1300. (28 Feb.)
MICRONESIA POHNPEI PMA "The Cross" Curious as to why they've been off.
Checked their Web site and found they were to change their antenna and hoped
to be back on in Jan or Feb 2008. That's the most recent info I could find
on their site. Sent an e-mail to the person that verified my 2007 report
asking their current status. By the way, FM 88.5 is V6MA and SW 4755 is
V6MP, according to their sked. (28 Feb.)

** BRAZIL [and non]. A while ago I wondered ``where`s the Dentro-Cuban Jamming
Command when we need them?`` regarding David Miranda, the supremely annoying
gospel huxter who mixes Spanish and English, wailing on more and more
frequencies, especially Brazilian SW transmitters, such as 9565, where I was
hearing him unimpeded. His empire is growing like a cancer. Now I am happy to
say that the incompetent Cubans were indeed jamming him on 9565, as they often
leave their jammers running long after Radio Mart? is through with a frequency,
in this case 2400. Feb 28 at 0725 check, DCJC was pulsing atop the ``God Is
Love`` guy on 9565, tho he was inbooming on // 11765 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** COLOMBIA. Colombia para Cristo was preaching separately on both frequencies,
Feb 28 at 0729: 6010 with OM in Spanish, interspersed with YL translating into
English, just like we hear on HRMI 3340 (which was open carrier at 0736 check)
and could even be the same ministry. At this time, HJDH 6010 was well atop
XEOI, which could be detected underneath keeping Mexican music alive, and
making a rippling SAH with it, probably 15-20 Hz or so apart. HJDH 5910, which
is usually musical with Marfil Est?reo, also had a good signal with no QRM at
0733, and a different preacher in Spanish with no translation, not // 6010
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ECUADOR [and non]. 11690, HCJB Spanish totally free of RTTY QRM de 11687.5!
Maybe Cutler read my March MT column? It would be very premature to hope they
have quit for good. Saturday Feb 28 at 1403, HCJB starting mailbag show, //
much stronger 11960. Companion RTTYs still running as usual at 1440 on 12015
and 9830 (axually, they may be totally unrelated --- I just group them because
the three blatantly invade broadcast bands). 1445 Aventura Diexista segment was
entirely an interview with Dino Bloise when Alen Gr?jan was visiting Miami
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA [and non]. As expected, impossible to reconfirm whether, like the
day before, VOI was again on 11785 during +14-15+ UT Saturday Feb 28, as
frequency is overwhelmed by WHRI, Hmong programming after 1400, and English
gospel huxter before 1400. Anyhow, no VOI on 9525.0 or 9525.9. Must try to
check Sunday at 1500 when WHRI closes earlier (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** KOREA NORTH [non]. JSR, Shiokaze back on 5985, ex-5910, ex-5985, ex-5910, ad
infinitum, Feb 28 at 1426 in Japanese with several mentions of Shiokaze over
pervasive sad piano music, to 1430* No QRM audible but I suppose colliding
again with Myanmar; it was doing just fine on 5910 as far as I was concerned.
Do they really gain anything by switching back and forth, such as it taking a
few days for the Dentro-Myanmar Jamming Command to upcatch? (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NEWFOUNDLAND. It sure helps to tune across the 2 MHz band with BFO on; only
some SSB signals make it thru the noise level here, such as 2598, Feb 28 at
0740 with marine weather for Newfoundland. Crummy audio due to vox and/or
announcer speaking into telephone instead of a decent studio mike. Could not
catch ID, but did hear Newfoundland locations, Grand Banks mentioned. Per
Klingenfuss 2002 book, there were two stations on 2598: VCM in Saint Anthony,
and VOK in Cartwright, both of the Canadian Coast Guard.
However, a search of the UDXF yg comes up with a log by Peter Poelstra,
Netherlands, last Dec 11 at 0737 of VCP, CCG Placentia, also with Grand Banks
weather (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PORTUGAL. 11885, fair signal in Portuguese Portuguese, Feb 28 at 1406; must
be RDPI. Yes, // much stronger 15560. 11885 is the weekend-only transmission,
45 degrees across Europe at 1200-1500 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
New 9018 not direct;
** INDONESIA. Here`s what`s next for VOI. After shifting from 9525.9 to 9525.0,
missing a day, and English at 1400 instead of 1300 ---
On Feb 27, zero again on 9525.0 and 9525.9, so I check their other frequency
and there it is ? on 11785.0, good signal at 1350 with Indonesian songs, 1356
YL announcement, and at 1359 concluding English hour which then was back to its
former time starting at 1300. After some dead air, 1401 opening Malay, 1402
drops off the air for a moment; carrier comes back on and then the modulation
gets interrupted briefly. When on, good signal but with own hum; no het or
other QRM. 1510 recheck seemed to be off, but by then my noisy computer was on.
As happened the last time VOI used 11785 last year at these hours, it will be
blown away on Saturday and Sunday by WHRI with Hmong Lao Radio at 14-15, and I
believe WHRI is also on before 1400, weekends only (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WBOH: Finally, Feb 27 at 0627 UT check, 5920 was modulating well,
with hymns, three days after noticing it unmodulated (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST) ###

This is a good time to look for temporary Chinese SW stations, possibly
pertinent here: 73, Glenn Hauser
** CHINA. CHINA AND THE EXTRA SHORTWAVE FREQUENCIES
I just heard you mention about CRI News Radio and Jiangsu People?s Radio from
0100 to 1600 UT. You will find many more popping up over the next few days, and
stay around up to two months, maybe a bit more, but all depends. The reason for
this is simple. If you go back to last year and the year before that, you will
find lots of shortwave activity around this time of year. The reason? The
National People?s Congress and the People?s Consultative Congress which happens
every March. This years round of meeting are set to begin March 5.
Every year it?s the same. The funniest one I remember was in 2005. Beijing
Traffic Radio all of a sudden appeared on SW using five frequencies. Question:
Why would you put a local (very local) traffic radio station on SW? [and
already reported again this year --- gh]
We have all heard of Firedrake, which uses a number of sites around China.
China does not use jamming [only] to block international broadcasters, but also
put local or regional stations on SW.
Turning on a SW radio in cities like Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Guangzhou,
Dalian and others is like listening to stations on top of each other. The best
of times, it?s hard to listen to the Chinese services of, let?s say, BBC, VOA
and others, but during Congress month it is downright impossible.
Something funny happened last May for a week in Shanghai during the Communist
Party?s regional meeting: a "very local station" called in English Children?s
Radio popped up on 12 frequencies. Two days after the meetings ended, so did
the SW. If you lived in China as long as I did, the Ministry Of Propaganda
tricks become very predictable (Keith Perron, Taiwan, Feb 28, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
