CHINA. Firedrake, very good signals but with flutter, March 11 at 1343 on 8400, 9000, 9300, and weaker on 9530 with VOA also audible (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** ECUADOR. HCJB, Spanish on 11960 with a health program, Wed March 11 at 1434 discussing the benefits of breathing helium; not to be overdone, I assume. Then talking about genital eroticism, best experienced between a man and a woman and even better within matrimony! 1444:30 the usual incorrect automated ID which they still haven`t fixed (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** GREECE. March 11 I was standing by on 15650 to detect exactly when VOG turns it off: 1352:54* interrupting Greek music. Such a time is typical to allow time for retuning to another frequency by hourtop, but which? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. VOA Spanish, 15590, VG with LA music show March 11 at 1355, nary a selective fade, but unlike the day before, no announcements whatsoever when abruptly cut off modulation a few sex past 1359 as a new tune had just started a few notes, and carrier off a few sex before 1400, audiblizing weak Spain on 15585 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 15130, WYFR Spanish, March 11 at 1401, carrier OK, but modulation reduced and distorted, while playing hymn ``S?lo un paseo m?s cercano conTigo``. That`s a literal translation of the English title, but I have no idea what they really call it in Spanish, which Google translates back to English as ``just a walk nearest you``, while trying it the other way, ``Just a closer walk with Thee`` comes out as ``s?lo con un pie m?s cerca de ti``. If I make it ``solo un paseo mas cerca de ti``, it comes out ``just a walk near you`` --- Google doesn`t quite get it. RHC has a similar but worse modulation problem at same time on 13760 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** VATICAN. 11850, VR IS at 1413 March 11 with heavy WYFR English 11855 splatter. Caths vs Prots! 1415 VR started up a language but I couldn`t tell what. Per sked folder it`s Urdu, Weds and Suns only (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) UNIDENTIFIED. 6060, large open carrier from 1335 to 1338* March 11.

For those of you who already know about us, my apologies for repeating, but please scroll down to learn about a neat new on-line capability we've just activated - the Signal Comparison Tool. PY1NB and I started this project just about a year ago. The basic idea is this. Instead of transmitting a signal as normal beacons do, "reverse beacons" listen to all of a given amateur band and report the CW stations they hear, their frequencies and signal strength (actually, the signal-to-noise ratio) to a web site <http://skimmer.dxwatch.com>. The web site displays the paths being reported in near real time on a world map, and offers a variety of searches and other useful ways of manipulating the data. During the recent ARRL CW DX Contest, in 48 hours the existing network of about a dozen reverse beacons reported over 125,000 spots. "Isn't that enough?", you may ask. Currently, there are reverse beacons only in North America and Western Europe. The majority are on this side of the Atlantic. We lack reverse beacons in Japan, China, VK/ZL, Africa, the Middle East and Central and South America, and there aren't enough yet in either Europe or North America to afford full coverage of all the open bands all the time. If you'd like to start by sampling the reverse beacon network's capabilities as a user, just go to http://skimmer.dxwatch.com. The first thing you will see is a zoom-able map displaying the last few minutes' spots, and a list of the spots. In the right margin you'll see a list of reverse beacons currently on-line, with the bands they are reporting on. If a band is open between your QTH and Europe, you can get on that band, call CQ for a minute, and then see which reverse beacons hear you and how strong you are. You can search the database for spots of or by a particular station, or by country or zone. You'll also note the banner about our new Signal Comparison Tool. Follow the link, enter a date, enter up to 10 stations' callsigns, and select a band at one of the reverse beacons that was active on that day. Click Go! and you'll see a list of all the spots of those stations reported by that reverse beacon. You can easily compare your signal with your friends and competitors, or see when the band opened and closed on a given day, or review the action from last weekend's contest. We hope that you'll be interested in being more than just another user, though, and want to join the network. What do you need to become a reverse beacon? The basic requirement is a software-defined receiver, such as the SDR-IQ, SoftRock, Perseus, QS-1R or Mercury, which many people already have. This is coupled with the CW Skimmer software developed by VE3NEA <www.dxatlas.com>, which amazingly decodes all the CW it hears across an entire amateur band, validates the callsigns and serves up a list of "spots". A small freeware program written by PY1NB then provides the link between CW Skimmer and the skimmer.dxwatch.com web-site. The PY1NB software, called the Aggregator, transmits spot data to the reverse beacon web site without requiring you to open your firewall or, in fact, to change your computer's setup at all. Do you incur any particular obligation by participating? No, not at all. Membership in the reverse beacon network is constantly changing as reverse beacon stations connect and disconnect. SWLs can continue their usual listening activities, but may choose to leave their receivers on, scanning the ham bands, while they are at work or otherwise occupied. Hams could do the same, only putting their SDRs on the bands when they are not actively operating. Where's the rub? Well, CW Skimmer is shareware. A full-featured 30-day test version is available from <www.dxatlas.com>, but after that you would have to pay a registration fee in order to keep it operating. My somewhat prejudiced view is that once you've tried it, you will decide it is well worth the cost, both for the reverse beacon network and as a tool for your DXing, contesting or SWLing. However, I am talking with Alex about the possibility of his writing a special limited reverse beacon version of Skimmer, and possibly allowing CW Skimmer to continue to operate in reverse beacon mode after the 30-day trial period has elapsed. I should emphasize that Alex is under no obligation to do this -- he is a professional software developer with his own objectives to consider -- but I am hopeful we can persuade him. If you would like to try your hand as a reverse beacon station operator, as we hope you will, go to <http://skimmer.dxwatch.com> and take a look at the "getting started" tutorial. Download the free trial version of CW Skimmer, download the "aggregator", start them both up and you're ready to go. Soon your station will be displaying the stations it has heard on the Reverse Beacon Network. And of course, Felipe and I stand ready to answer any questions or help you get started. Give it a try - I really think it will add a new dimension to your radio experience.

While Germany, Italy, the UK, Spain and New Zealand will be the first territories to roll out DRM-free services, Australia, the Czech Republic, Greece, Hungary, India, Ireland, Malta, Netherlands, Portugal, Romania, South Africa and Turkey will follow "in due course," along with services on Vodafone's partner networks in Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Iceland, Slovenia and Switzerland. Universal Music Group, Sony Music Entertainment and EMI Music have all agreed to the format conversion. The remaining major label, Warner Music, and all independent labels on Vodafone's catalog are yet to confirm participation. Tracks from these labels will remain available on the site in the original DRM format. Tracks can be transferred to any digital device owned by the customer, including mobile phones and PCs. As well as this, Vodafone is allowing customers to upgrade previously purchased tracks to be DRM-free at no extra charge within the existing download allowance. The Vodafone Music Store, powered by RealNetworks, is available exclusively to Vodafone customers. It has over a million tracks in its catalog, available to purchase as single tracks or album bundles. All purchases can be dual-delivered to a mobile and PC free of charge. http://www.radioandmusic.com/content/editorial/news/vodafone-steps-drm-free-mobile-music-initiative Add more friends to your messenger and enjoy!
