"Wavescan" DX Program to Continue from New Location
The final edition of AWR's DX program "Wavescan" produced in Singapore is
scheduled for broadcast on May 31, 2009, with the usual scheduled repeats
during the first few days into June. Beginning in the first week of June,
"Wavescan" will be written and produced in the United States for broadcast
worldwide.
In the new arrangement, the scripts for "Wavescan" will be researched and
written in Indianapolis, Indiana, and the program will be assembled and
produced in the Miami, Florida, studios of shortwave station WRMI/Radio Miami
International. QSL cards acknowledging the reception of "Wavescan" will be
available from both WRMI and Adventist World Radio.
At the end of May, AWR's Singapore office and studio will be transferred to
nearby Batam Island, Indonesia. This move will achieve considerable cost
savings for AWR.
Many long-time listeners will remember that the original AWR DX program, "Radio
Monitors International," was produced in the Poona (Pune), India, studios of
Adventist World Radio and broadcast on the domestic and international shortwave
services of the Sri Lanka Broadcasting Corporation. Beginning in 1984, North
American coverage was achieved through the services of Jeff White and his
original Radio Earth/Radio Discovery service. "Radio Monitors International"
became "Wavescan," and Radio Earth/Radio Discovery became Radio Miami
International/WRMI.
The new presentations of "Wavescan" will be very similar to the earlier
editions as produced in Singapore. Each edition will include a station profile
on an important or a little-known shortwave station from a historical
perspective. There will also be other features from the fascinating world of
international radio broadcasting, as well as regular bulletins of DX news. It
is intended that the regular DX bulletins from Japan, Bangladesh, Philippines
and Australia will be included as usual in these new broadcasts of "Wavescan."
Other radio entities are welcome to re-broadcast "Wavescan," archive the
programs on Internet websites, and reprint items and articles from the scripts
and archive the scripts, with the usual attribution to AWR "Wavescan" and to
Radio Miami International/WRMI.
As was announced in "Wavescan" earlier, the annual worldwide listener contest
during the month of June will continue as planned. Listeners are invited to
prepare a list and give details and photocopies of 5 QSLs from silent shortwave
stations; to submit 3 reception reports on AWR transmissions; and, where
possible, to submit 3 suitable radio cards to the "Wavescan" address in
Indianapolis.
Adventist World Radio would like to express appreciation to AWR assistant
program director Rhoen Catolico for his splendid work on the production of
"Wavescan" during the past three years and to wish him every success with his
endeavors as he returns to his homeland in the Philippines. We would also like
to express our appreciation to Jeff White at WRMI for mutual co-operation in
the areas of international radio broadcasting over the past quarter century,
and we are grateful for this new relationship in the production and
distribution of the program in his station in Miami.
Jeff White is currently the president of NASB, the National Association of
Shortwave Broadcasters USA, in addition to his management responsibilities at
WRMI.
Adrian Peterson is DX editor for Adventist World Radio and a Board Member for
NASB, the National Association of Shortwave Broadcasters USA. The address is:
Adventist World Radio
Box 29235
Indianapolis, Indiana 46229 USA

** CYPRUS. CyBC, 9760, surely the source of unannounced Greek folk music,
Sunday May 3 from 2240 to abrupt cutoff without a word of goodbye at 2244:30.
How rude! Reception was good. This is the Fri-Sat-Sun-only 2215-2244:30
transmission via BBC relay station; per EiBi, // are 7210 and 5930, not
checked, but surely best here on 9760 anyway. If there were any announcements,
they would be in Greek, as non-Turkish Cyprus misses a golden opportunity for
outreach to the English-speaking world and its potential tourists (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA [and non]. As feared the day before, VOI has made another abrupt
frequency change back to 11785, after many months on 9525 during the 1300
English hour. At least it`s close to 11785 rather than 11786v, but they have
shot themselves in the foot since there is heavy QRM on 11785 during this hour,
while 9525 was and is clear.
May 4 at 1302 I confirmed that 9525 was empty, so tuned to 11785 at 1309 and
there it was, VOI detectable in English, ID at 1316 along with ``sound of
dignity`` slogan. Heavy collision with at least two other stations, in Chinese,
i.e. VOA via Thailand at 30 degrees also toward us, and heavy CNR-1 ChiCom
jamming.
They must be totally out of touch in Jakarta about what is really happening on
the available VOI channels, and this tends to confirm my assumption that the
previous usage of 9525 when it was clear during the 1300 English hour, was
nothing but pure luck; and of course it collided with CRI in Russian after 1400
in Malay.
Now the situation is reversed, as VOA and the ChiCom jamming quit at 1400,
leaving VOI more or less clear on 11785 but there is still a weaker co-channel
audible at 1422 check. Per Aoki this has to be BBCWS in Hindi at 14-15. The
very strange thing about it is that on Sunday the site is Chita at 230 degrees,
while the other six days of the week it`s Singapore at 315 degrees; why?
Of course Hmong Lao Radio via WHRI totally blox everything here on 11785 at
13-14 Saturdays and Sundays. Anyhow, goodbye to good reception in North America
of VOI English, unless they wake up and go back to 9525. It is inconceivable
that they would move to any other frequency on either band (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SOLOMON ISLANDS. 9541.5, BBCWS mid-news ID without even straining to make it
out, 1304 May 4, the best SIBC heard yet, but would prefer to hear something
local from SI as there are a few other ways to hear BBC. If nothing else, they
should play back some of their earlier local programming overnight (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. VOA Greenville already on with open carriers at 2250 tune-in May 3 on
6110 and 9825, prior to Spanish at 2300. I was checking these in follow-up to
previous reports on nonsensical DentroCuban jamming in the middle of the night
on 6110, and on a possible frequency change for Turkey at 2200 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [non]. 17880 at 0559 May 4 in Chinese with that ``diamond`` commercial
theme music, which became a pop hit several months ago. Same music heard
previously at exactly same time on same frequency. I think it`s R. Free Asia
via NMI rather than ChiCom CNR1 jamming. Does anyone recognize which station
uses that music? And how does the RFA Mandarin ID go? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WWRB spurs on 9317 and // 9453 resumed, May 3 at 2250 check with
Brother Scare originating from 9385 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. WEWN, 11530 in English is the transmitter putting out
plus/minus 10 kHz dirty spurs, as noted May 4 at 1420. Unless more than one of
them does that. Luckily, no broadcasters audible on 11520 or 11540 at the
moment, so not too obvious until BFO onturned.
Meanwhile, WEWN, 11550 in Spanish had a lo het and music mix underneath,
probably RTI Taiwan in Vietnamese as in Aoki, altho at 1330-1430 R. Azadi in
Dari via Kuwait is also scheduled. Serves them right for the unnecessary QRM
WEWN causes (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

15345.085 At the very first day of RAE test in German from Buenos Aires to
Western Europe, the Nador Morocco Arabic signal is on top. My SYNC points
RAE signal to 15345.65, but ---
there is an interference from a different spot of the earth:
Ethiopia's new jamming equipment covers the 15343.34 to 15356.80 kHz portion
of the adjacent 15350 kHz channel today.
It's the same digital DRM like jamming, which appeared last November against
Deutsche Welle's Amharic broadcasts also in 15 MHz band.
All jamming against TDP broadcasts via Samara Russia site, 250 kW at 188

Bolivia, 6155.22, Radio Fides, 0015-0030, As the signal faded in, noted
music. At 0020 a male talks in Spanish then back to music immediately.
At 0027 it sounds like promos on the air then two males talk. So much
QRM on this freq while signal is poor. (Chuck Bolland, May 4, 2006)
Peru, 6195.79, Radio Cusco, 0038-0045, With a poor to threshold
signal here, noted a male in Spanish comments. Sounds like some
kind of sporting event from the tone of the comments. (Chuck
