** GREECE. As suspected, when we found V. of Greece back to `normal` the day
before with all three Avlis transmitters funxional again at 2200, the
temporary curtailment of the 15650 transmission until 1352* is over. March
20 it continued at 1354, still with music at 1400, and at 1433. By 1502 I
had local noise sources going, but there were still two carriers on
frequency making a fast SAH, i.e., resuming collision with Miraya FM via
IRRS via Slovakia to Darfur (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Students of IIT Bombay have launched their own campus web based radio station.
The students were inspired by leading universities like MIT, Harvard and Yale
that have their own successful on campus radio stations. Sajid Shariff, the
general secretary of cultural affairs, IIT Bombay, says that they intend to
provide the students through their LAN based radio station with a platform to
voice their opinions, take part in debates and allow them to be more informed.
The shows will include campus, city, national and international news, music,
reviews of websites, information on books to read, gadgets, movies to watch,
places and restaurants to hang out and extra-curricular activities. This is the
first time a university in India has taken such an initiative.
As all the online radio content has to be pre-recorded and loaded onto the site
there were actually no expenses involved except for buying the mics, laptop
mixer, cords and headphones, says Sajid.
Sajid explains the minimal cost stating that there was no need to set up
something as elaborate as a studio. The students use a room that goes by the
name of Student Activity centre where shows are recorded. They use CDeep which
is a technical support facility that takes care of networking and streaming on
campus.
The response on campus to the online radio station has been really good so far,
he says. Sajid reveals that the Professors and other faculty members are
extremely interested in the radio station as they want to address issues and
topics with the students through this forum. A lot of students on campus have
offered to be RJ?s for some of the shows and have also taken an active interest
in providing ideas that different shows could be based on.
The primary objective the students have for the radio station is to be able to
provide good quality content to the students and be able to maintain that
quality throughout. They intend to keep the interest for the campus radio going
with updates that students would genuinely be interested in knowing about such
as top ten websites, top movies, gadgets and relevant issues both on campus and
nationally.

The Radio Veritas Asia Myanmar language service has celebrated 25 years of
service to listeners in Myanmar, especially those in remote areas.
About 150 listeners gathered Jan. 11 in Yangon at the headquarters of the
Catholic Bishops' Conference of Myanmar to mark the occasion.
The previous day, about 200 Catholics participated in an anniversary Mass
led by Archbishop Charles Bo of Yangon and concelebrated by the other 11
Myanmar bishops and 19 priests.
In his homily, Archbishop Bo praised Radio Veritas Asia (RVA), based outside
Manila, for its evangelizing role "amid the plethora of radio stations, TV
stations, satellite news and websites." Some of these, RVA among them, are
"good for the people," he said, while "many are harmful and dangerous."
He praised RVA for programs promoting the "spiritual, physical and
psychological development of people." Its services are invaluable, he added,
"in remote places where there are no newspapers, priests or catechists."
The archbishop said workers of other Churches and even Buddhist monks
appreciate and make use of RVA programs in their work for people's welfare.
"RVA is a matchmaker between the loving God and man, who needs God's love,"
Archbishop Bo concluded.
Father Carolus Lariosa, manager of RVA Myanmar service, told UCA News its
programs focus on evangelization, social and human development, family
management and financial management. He also spoke of the service's ability
to reach people in remote areas where there are no priests and missioners.
In his estimation, 90 percent of its listeners are not Christians.
The service's Mandalay office marked the anniversary Jan. 18 with a Mass led
by Archbishop Paul Zinghtung Grawng of Mandalay that drew 500 RVA listeners
and guests. Afterward, a festival of cultural dances, songs and sharing was
held at St. Thomas Minor Seminary. Mandalay is 580 kilometers north of
Yangon.
RVA Myanmar Service has been on the air since Nov. 13, 1978. Besides
broadcasting in the national language, formerly called Burmese, RVA provides
three other language services for listeners in Myanmar.
The Kachin and Karen services both began in 1982, while a Zomi-Chin language
broadcast for several tribal groups in India and Myanmar began in 1996.
There are an estimated 600,000 listeners of the Myanmar Service, 300,000 of
the Karen Service and 200,000 of the Kachin Service.
Meanwhile, the bishops' conference decided during its Jan. 6-11 plenary
meeting that it will give all money from collections on this year's World
Communications Day to RVA. The bishops also decided to form a national
program board for the four RVA language services with listeners in Myanmar.
RVA, operated by the Federation of Asian Bishops' Conferences, broadcasts in
17 languages throughout Asia.(from Union OfCatholic Asian News)

Nothing Earth-shattering to report. Conditions just too awful.
UNID. 1710 UNID. 2245-0114 Good signal here at this time w/CA mx w/M pgm
host. Sev. definite ment of 'radio' at 2249. Mixing with R. Moshiach and
Redemption at times. Jingle at 2250 but was fading at this time. Some
deadair 2255, then canned anmnt w/ment of "?? escuchando a Radio
Tele??...AM. La emisore.Western(?) Avenue, ??, telefono 718-231-?73." More
lively mx. M anncr at 2305 w/poss. ID, then remote report by M beginning
w/poss. ID. Then lcl noise started and lasted until 0022. Interview pgm
then w/W host and W guest to 0049. Too much adjacent QRM at that time, and
Moshiach taking over completely for a while. Ethnic Pirate relaying
pgmming?? (4 March)
14 March 2009: Decided to do a short micro-DXpedition. Was going to try
using the Eton w/RF Systems matching transformer and 50 ohm coax attached to
external jack but forgot the adapter. So tried different combinations of
attaching the antenna directly to the center conductor and also to the whip,
and turning on and off the 'DX' button. Couldn't find a happy medium.
Either spurious signals every 5 khz or signal strengths a little too weak.
RX: Eton E1
ANT: 315' at 50? Beverage (BOG)
QTH: Pennsylvania State Game Lands #26
Duration: 2030-2200 UTC
Solar Indices: Solar Flux = 69, A Index = 9, K Index =1. No storms.
WX: Temp in the mid-40's. Can't recall any other weather conditions.
PIRATE (EUROPE) 6309.96 UNID. Europirate Was getting a carrier around
2030, but mx noted at 2047. Too much 6300 slop QRM to recognize songs.
Definite Dance mx at 2050. Finally canned anmnt by M at 2100. Was doing
pretty well around 2055, but dropped off some by 2100. Coming back after
2105. Another short canned jingle at 2110. Some UTE QRM. Sounded like a
jingle and immediately off at 2124:41*. Who was this?? Brandaris?? (14

2153 canned jingle ID. Into "Hey Joe". Drifting up. Nasty CW QRM. (14
March)
8 March 2009: Stopped at the SGLs again. Remembered the coax adapter for
the Eton this time. Discovered that the Eton microprocessor generates some
noise that's picked up in the antenna when its attached directly. The 50
ohm lead-in isolates the antenna and eliminates it. Unfortunately I still
get the spurious signals every 5 khz with 'DX' on, but weaker signals with
it off. Wish it had a multi-position attenuator or RF gain control.

** MEXICO. XERF, 1570, UT Sunday March 22 at 0522 with CST timecheck, many
informal IDs as ``La Poderosa 15-70``, and show called ``Palomitas de Papel``,
reading notes from listeners who are searching for lost friends and relatives,
giving contact phone numbers and mailing addresses, mostly P O boxes in Texas.
Referred to it being on every Saturday night; 0530 played some dove and other
bird chirps, full ID as XERF, a public radio station of IMER, election PSAs
from the government, and into another show.
What does the name mean? Paloma is dove, and palomita makes it diminutive, but
the word also means pigeon, so apparently alludes to little paper notes sent by
messenger pigeon, but a toll-free phone number was also announced. Here`s the
website blurb about it from
http://www.lapoderosa.imer.com.mx/index.php?option=com_wrapper&Itemid=121:
``Sinopsis: Escucha este foro abierto para la expresi?n popular, que se
alimenta con las cartas del auditorio. La tem?tica es libre, con s?lo dos
limitantes; no se permite el proselitismo religioso ni pol?tico.
Emisora: XERF, La Poderosa, 1570 AM
D?as de Transmisi?n: S?bado
Horario: 22:30 a 23:30 horas [0430-0530 UT Sun, 0330-0430 from Apr 12]
Contenido Espec?fico: Migrantes
G?nero: Orientaci?n
Responsable: Carm?n Rodr?guez``
She is also identified as locutora, but tonight`s host was an OM, certainly not
Carm?n. He was reading all the messages, no listener voices heard.
I can`t find a program schedule grid on the website; instead an alfabetical
list of shows by title and you have to click on each one to find when it`s
aired:
http://www.lapoderosa.imer.com.mx/index.php?option=com_wrapper&Itemid=121
I am not at all sure it is complete; lacking e.g. ``La Victrola`` which once
aired UT Thursdays at 0200-0400 and needs to be reconfirmed.
XERF generally on top of 1570 but lots of co-channel QRM, a fine example of the
travesty which the NARBAns have been made of the clear-channel concept (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TINIAN. Yet another discrepancy report on the 7575 IBB transmitter: Sunday
March 22 at 1320 in VOA Jazz America show, with BFO on, could tell the carrier
was slightly unstable, but worse, a continuous het. During talk segment, as
best I could tell, there were matching `carriers` at slightly more than 1 kHz
on both sides of the main carrier, and thus a modulation defect rather than
external interference (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TURKEY [and non]. Altho VOT fails to broadcast in English as scheduled via
Sackville 7325 at 0400, the webcast funxions properly, so I brought it up for
the so-called DX Corner, UT Sunday March 22 at 0420. I missed a bit since it
had already started, but Seref Isler spent the rest of the program reading
reception reports and commenting on them, promising QSL cards for even the most
perfunctory reports.
He also recited the current English schedule once again, including 7325.
Apparently he is ignoring my direct notification to the English Desk that it
has not been showing up since the beginning of March! Just to be sure, I tuned
in 7325 at 0432, and sure enough, that was still in Turkish, but no
Greenville/Mart? spurblob like the night before (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A. Had not heard any sign of KJES on 11715 for a week or more, but
Sunday March 22 at 1350 check, it was on at S9+20, somewhat undermodulated but
sufficient, unlike some previous logs. No robokids this time, but instead one
adult OM reciting verses, immediately repeated by another adult OM, e.g.: ``May
God rain burning coals upon them! --- May God rain burning coals upon them!``
What a nice thought. Frequently referred to Yahweh, which I am sure R. C. Pope
Benedict XVI would not approve of; further reinforcing that KJES tho nominally
Catholic is run by a wacky splinter group (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** VENEZUELA [non]. Sunday March 22 chex of the Al?, Presidente service via
CUBA: 11875 open carrier already on the air at 1342, along with lite crackle,
perhaps cross-mod from one of their nearby jammers. Modulation finally brought
up at 1405 with program in progress, B?rbara Betancourt speaking. BTW, she is
51 years old this week, as one of the birthday babes mentioned on En Contacto,
the RHC Spanish DX program at 1335 on 12000 et al.
At 1405 checked other A,P frequencies: // 13750 underway, much weaker 13680
also audible and echoing against 13750 audio, so from different transmitter
site. 11690 also echoed against 13750 and 11875, and totally overrode HCJB,
producing no more than a SAH, but HCJB is always weak here on this frequency,
aimed oppositely from 11960. At 1407 found the fifth A,P channel 17750
definitely on the air with strong open carrier, but no mod, a good idea, since
it kept dumping off the air multiple times, and when on was noisy. Finally at
1419 some modulation started to appear fitfully, also cutting on and off, and
more or less stayed on from 1421. Final check at 1436 found it still going but
distorted, in pre-show from Habana prior to expected appearance of the crybaby
himself.
That alludes to a very interesting C-SPAN2 show I watched the night before by
someone who had written a book highly critical of Ch?vez, maintaining that he
is a much bigger threat to the US than it seems, and we ignore him at our
peril. He`s a bully while he has power, but cried when he lost power, has
kidnapped Venezuela. Worth considering even tho tainted by Heritage Foundation
sponsorship.
Here`s the BookTV blurb about it at
http://www.booktv.org/program.aspx?ProgramId=10290&SectionName=&PlayMedia=No
``THE THREAT CLOSER TO HOME: HUGO CH?VEZ AND THE WAR AGAINST AMERICA
Watch now! [yes, there is video and audio on demand:]
http://www.booktv.org/watch.aspx?ProgramId=FV-10290
About the Program: A political consultant who lived and worked in Venezuela
presents a critical look at the rule of Hugo Ch?vez. Commentary is provided by
Otto Reich, former U.S. Ambasssador to Venezuela and Assistant Secretary of
State. This event was hosted by the Heritage Foundation in Washington, DC.
About the Author --- Michael Rowan is a political consultant for U.S. and Latin
American leaders. He has advised former Bolivian president Jaime Paz Zamora and
Costa Rican president Oscar Arias. Mr. Rowan is a former president of the
International Association of Political Consultants.`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
