Ser? un homenaje a aquellas estaciones radiales del Interior de nuestra Argentina que no pudieron resistir la aparici?n de decenas de emisoras no autorizadas o la competencia con radios de FM locales o que por razones econ?micas y/o financieras no pudieron actualizarse tecnol?gicamente y que desaparecieron del ?ter luego de ser las m?s representativas de sus regiones para luego reaparecer reconvertidas para volver a ser voces regionales.

No se pierdan los registros sonoros hist?ricos con los cuales se "ilustrar?" el programa. La Rosa de Tokyo se irradia los s?bados desde las 0900 hasta las 1000 hora de la Argentina (1200 a 1300 horas UTC).- De esta forma, la emisi?n no estar? afectada por las transmisiones deportivas de la emisora en las cuales se siguen las campa?as de los equipos platenses de primera divisi?n.

Or something equally illogical. 1422 back to music (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** BELGIUM. If it`s 9970, it must be RTBF, VG signal Nov 14 at 0805 with news in French about Guant?namo, diabetes, M&W alternating. As a non-native speaker, it seemed to me their French was perfectly Parisian, a delight to listen to. But is there really a Belgian accent easily discernible to the French French? Probably, but not to be used on the radio (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CHINA. 8025-8080, Over the horizon radar pulsing, presumed from here, Nov 13 at 1432 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CHINA. Firedrake Nov 13 at 1433: nothing on 8400, 9000 but good on 10210. Around 1530 Nov 14: none of them (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CHINA. 17710, CRI English at 0737 Nov 14 with Heartbeat, fair signal. Not something you would expect to hear in the nightmiddle from Beijing site aimed 193 degrees. 19m was also hopping with Eurasian signals (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA. 11600, no DentroCuban jamming at 1514 Nov 13, unlike the past two days. Perhaps they found out about this mistake from my previous reports and quickly fixed it, but that would be uncharacteristic. 11760, Nov 14 at 0734, VG in Spanish with MUF way up. RHC now in the eleventh day of not producing two dozen spurs from this frequency. Three 49m channels // Spanish at 0746 Nov 14, but with progressively worse modulation. Clearest wideband on 6150, middling on 6140 and narrowband audio on 6120 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** GREECE. 7475, playing ``Return to Sender``, I think originalversion by Elvis, lyrix in English, Nov 13 at 0616. Can this be Voice of Greece? Yes, // 9420, and soon followed by announcement in Greek. 12105 with Greek music, Nov 14 at 0734, fair signal and not // 9420. 0749 still Greek music. This hour is supposed to be in English, relay of the MW service R. Filia, but what good is it if they are just going to keep playing Greek music? Perhaps filling out hour starting with BBC relay earlier. At 0800, 12105 went into French YL. I wonder if that is really from Athens, or relaying RFI (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** INDIA. AIR 9470 Aligarh blobmess, Nov 13 at 1435 covering 9455-9465, bothering Russian KFBS on 9465, but not bothering the China radio war on 9450. Nov 14 did not check until 1519 when signals were weaker, but believe the blob was still residing around 9460 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** INDONESIA. 4750, RRI Makassar, Nov 13 at 1404, instead of news on the hour, phone conversation with laughing between M in studio and W on phone; fair signal this late. VOI, 9525.9, still on the air in English at 1520 Nov 14, ID and slogan ``sound of dignity``, fair signal and modulation, atop the het from something on 9525.0. By 1558 could only hear the het, presumably from CRI English via Kashgar, East Turkistan at 15-17 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** KOREA NORTH [non]. 5985, Shiokaze via JSR Japan, fair and clear Friday Nov 13 at 1411, M narrative about abduxions in the 1970s, no piano music now. Hard to understand English due to heavy accent, a marked difference with its neighbor NHKWNRJ on 5955, the robotic W newscaster and her too-precise enunciation (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** MEXICO. XEQM, 6104.8, best yet and totally in the clear at 0639 Nov 13 with hyper DJ, inserting ``Candela`` ID over music, and then fast 12:42 timecheck. Phone number for requests, apparently with birthday greetings; slogan ``la m?s grande`` instead of ``la mayor``. Some distortion as modulating too hard (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** NEW ZEALAND. I don`t know whether it was audible earlier, but at 1515 Nov 14, could not hear any RNZI on 6170, just a barely audible carrier. Nor on 7440. Nor at 1601 could I hear RNZI on either, with 7440 also squeezed by ChiComs on both sides. RNZI off the air or just not propagating? Checked at 1801 UT Nov 14, website says: ``Schedule Change from 12 November 2009. 11 Nov, 2009 19:15 UTC: 6170 (AM) and 7440 (DRM) kHz new early morning frequency for Cook Islands, Samoa, Niue and Tonga`` No time, but looking elsewhere for the schedule, that refers to 1551-1750 UT. What it really means is that DRM and AM frequencies have been swapped during this time period, so not really applicable to the 6170 collision with Russia at 13-15 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** PORTUGAL. Since it`s a weekend, we get a strong RDPI morning signal on 15560 aimed 300 degrees USward, Sat Nov 14 at 1554. Trouble is, the fado was being marred by squeal and distorted modulation. Also audible on // 15520 much weaker, and longpath echo. The latter is also on weekends only (unless there is a weekday futebol game), 144 degrees oppositeward. Never mind those: good modulation and good signal on 21655 at 1606 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** SAUDI ARABIA. 11785, Buzzing service again audible but poorly Nov 13 at 1444. I wonder if this is same Riyadh transmitter which used to buzz on 21505 until 1500, and therefore the latter is off, or off earlier than before? Anyhow I have not been able to hear both at same time. After 1500, 15435 is still the address for this (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** SIERRA LEONE [non]. I am rarely monitoring so late, but after hearing BBC on 13820 Nov 14 at 0729, it was time to check for Cotton Tree News at 0730 on 11875. Nothing there at first, but when I retuned a few dekaseconds after 0730, there it was in English news with very heavy accent, QRM de WEWN on 11870. But why would he mention ``Chilean`` several times? O, I get it: that`s how the announcer pronounces ``Sierra Leone``. Would seem to need some dixion lessons, unless everybody says it that way, and who am I to criticize the SL dialect? At 0733, ``This news is coming to you from CTN`` (just the abbreviation). Next check at 0752 two women were conversing, with even heavier accents, or was it the local language, or a mixture? I certainly heard some English words now and then. They were still going at 0800* sharp when transmission cut off abruptly, no closing, sign-off or goodybe until tomorrow. I suspect the start at *0730 was just as abrupt. After all this time, the studio and transmitter are still unable to co?rdinate, or have no concept of how to open and close a radio program. The transmitter being VTC Rampisham UK, so my getting Ascension just before it on 13820 was not really a tipoff to a nightmiddle European opening (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U K [non]. 13820, BBCWS in English at 0729 Nov 14 plugging Have Your Say, surprisingly good signal from a band usually dead at this hour, but even 15 MHz had lots of signals on it. A-index the day before was 74, slightly up from the doldrums, K-index at 06 was 1, and at 09 was 2. 13820 is Ascension at 07-08, 250 kW, 55 degrees. So I check for SIERRA LEONE [non], q.v. (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A [non]. 7215, SW Asian language at 1426 Nov 13 with English clips, website starting www. and ending .org, but missed the middle. Clear except for ham SSB ACI on the hi side, seems news after 1430. Aoki says: R. Liberty in Tajik, 14-15, 250 kW, 348 degrees from Sri Lanka, USward. 15205, VOA English, discussion of Hasan cut off abruptly at 1458*. It seems Washington is still having a hard time coordinating with transmitter sites, or more likely does not even try. This is Lampertheim, GERMANY, supposedly scheduled 1400-1500, 100 kW, 92 degrees. 15205 used to be a prime VOA channel for hours and hours, but now it`s shared with DW, CRI, Saudi. And the powers that be want to cut VOA English even further (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. WRMI has degraded audio, 9955 with VG S9+20 signal but distorted during R. Praga in Spanish at 0739 Nov 14. The same plus hum at 0804 with Antonio Buitrago of REE`s DX program discussing DRM. I think that was originally on several weeks ago, but now part of Frecuencia al D?a. Carrier is also slightly unstable. Likewise during R. Prague in English at 1523, no jamming audible. But at 1559 WRMI`s own problem masked by DentroCuban jamming as Zion Fellowship was ending, 1600 DX Partyline starting. Jeff White is aware of the problem and says it`s not the transmitter but a $3500 tube which should be replaced Sunday afternoon. Well, the modulator is part of the transmitter (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) UNIDENTIFIED. 6074, unlike the day before, no sign of 8GAL Nov 13 around 1400. In past, the exact time has varied considerably for this less-than-a-minute transmission (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ### ------------------------------ Message: 8 Date: Sat, 14 Nov 2009 21:03:03 +0100 From: "bclnews.it" <bclsiciliac...@inwind.it> To: <bcln...@yahoogroups.com>, <condigl...@yahoogroups.com> Cc: radioescu...@yahoogrupos.com.br, NoticiasDX <noticia...@yahoogroups.com>, Domesticas Y Tropicales <domesticasytropica...@yahoogroups.com>, playdx2003 <playdx2...@yahoogroups.com>, DXLD <d...@yahoogroups.com>, hard-core-dx@hard-core-dx.com Subject: Re: [HCDX] RADIO SANTA HELENA SALDRA HOY AL AIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Talk in unidentified language at 0400. Horn of Africa music. Good level but a poor overall signal due to co-channel QRM. (Brian Alexander, PA) ** ERITREA. 7175, VOBME, Asmara, program 2, *0354-0400, Nov 14, IS. Fair to good at sign on but covered by noise jammer at 0359. (Brian Alexander, PA) ** GUINEA. 7125, Radio Conakry, 2350-0052*, Nov 14-15, Afro-pop music. French talk. Fair to good. On late again tonight. Abruptly pulled plug at 0052. Nothing heard on this frequency several hours earlier. (Brian Alexander, PA) ** ISRAEL. 15783.04, Galei Zahal, 1450-1500, Nov 14, still off nominal 15785 with a slightly wobbly carrier. Local pop music. Hebrew talk. Good signal otherwise. (Brian Alexander, PA) ** MADAGASCAR [non]. via Pridnestrovye, 15670, Radio Mada Int, *1530-1558*, Nov 14, test tones prior to 1530. Sign on at 1530 with African music. Talk in presumed Malagasy at 1531. Speech by man. Short breaks of African music. Poor to fair. Sat/Sun only.

It would be miraculous if they could give the correct time, instead as ``22:43`` at 0046. This being CBN, originally R. Globo, S?o Paulo (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CHINA [and non]. 15385 with CNR1 echo-jamming plus other noise, SAH, all to prevent the Voice of America, in Mandarin via Tinang, Philippines, being heard by the oppressed Chinese people, who if they knew the truth might rise up and overthrow their Communist masters, who obviously don`t have any confidence they would be chosen in free elexions, Nov 14 at 0013 and same at 0054 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** COLOMBIA. 5910, Marfil Est?reo with ID as soon as I intuned, Nov 15 at 0035, ``s?lo ?xitos``, which seems hyperbole as they`ve got to work in the evangelism somehow. Good signal in the clear; in fact, looking over the schedules, it seems that 5910 is pretty clear for 1 kW HJDH all night 2300-1200 except for Romania at 0100-0300. What luck, as Colombia para Cristo does not participate in HFCC, and you`d think this `open` frequency would be pounced on by more of the big boys (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA [and non]. Altho not jamming VOA on 5890, 9885, the DentroCuban Jamming Command was all-out against Radio Rep?blica on 9810, Nov 15 at 0021 mixing rather equally, which is still unacceptable. See also USA : WRMI, VOA (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** GERMANY [non]. 15640, F-G Nov 15 at 0015 with Strine-accented reporter in English interviewing Italians about aftermath of Aquila earthquake. And at 0053 about new shopping center in Prague. Since it`s not // RA 17715 or BBC Singapore 15335, it must be --- DW! Yes, 00-01 via Pet/Kam, Russia, 250 kW, 247 degrees, but audible well enough way over here, something the DW PTB did not count on when they decided to cut off North American SWLs (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** INDIA. Noise blob centered on 9455, Nov 14 at 2142, perhaps AIR Aligarh, altho I was not hearing 9425 or 9445 at this time. 4880, Nov 15 at 0026 music and some talk with heavy fading, uncertain language, weaker aside the Brazilian clash on 4885. 0032 had some 2-way SSB QRM. By next check 0050 had faded to JBA carrier. Only fit is AIR Lucknow which signs on at 0025, and then fades into the sunlight. Lucknow is between Aligarh and Gorakhpur near the western end of Nepal. 6155, Nov 15 at 0039 S Asian singing, with tabla, good atop fast SAH of a weaker station. AIR Urdu service via Bangalore, 0015-0430, 500 kW, 330 degrees so penetrating slightly further than Pakistan (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** MEXICO. As I previously figured, 6105 itself is free of QRM in the early evening, so XEMQ M?rida was also clear on 6104.8 Nov 15 at 0037 with music in Spanish. But as I also previously figured, Habana`s new 6110 is a big adjacent problem, at first somewhat evitable by offtuning low, but at 0056 RHC was splattering too much even in talk rather than music (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** ROMANIA. 9525, UT Sunday Nov 15 at 0043 playing Stravinsky. Nice and rare to hear some serious classical music on SW. Only fit is RRI Spanish service via Galbeni. If the outdated program sked on their site is still correct, it`s the second show on Saturdays, Horizonte Cultural Rumano (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** SAINT HELENA. Radio Saint Helena Day, 2009y, 11092.5-USB --- I heard it, but it was totally unsatisfying, mostly inaudible. Fortunately, last year and others were much better, and QSLed, so the novelty is wearing off, anyway. Started monitoring at 2000 UT Nov 14, but as I dozed during my nap, no trace of it thru 2150, just the ute on the low side (fax idling?), and occasional other types of ute QRM, such as two beeps every 16 seconds, bits of CW; at 0024 running-water overriding everything, but briefly. At 2134 I checked BBC Ascension, 12095, the nearest geographically and frequencially, found it only fair with flutter fading. If that`s the best we can expect from the South Atlantic, with 250x the power and many times the antenna gain, not surprising RSH is not making it. However, next check at 2220 on a different receiver/antenna setup, RSH was just barely audible, bits of music. 2254 sounded like a sea chanty; singing, anyway (Mick Delmage, Alberta says a pirate interrupted at this very moment). 2312, mostly music. Later could catch a few occasional words: 2358, `thank you very much`; UT Nov 15: 0003 mention Jamestown; 0005 Japan? 0006 very familiar romantic tenor tune I am trying to name. During the final hour I knew I would be spending my time better by bandscanning for lots of other stations rather than straining to hear a few more words from RSH, but checked it occasionally. 0024 about the same barely audible reception; 0030 even weaker; 0041 JBA music; 0058 very poor going from talk to music, maybe GSTQ at wrapup. The final sesquihour was allegedly toward NAm. This was so marginal, that any way to increase gain was necessary, so tried various combinations of receivers and antennas. What I really need is a log-periodic. There were no detectable changes at the publicized antenna rotation times of 2100, 2200 or 2330. However, at 2301 it either went off briefly, or local noise level went up. The signal was so weak that I had a hard time zeroing in on it, with no carrier as a guide; finally picked a spot on the DX-398 40-Hz fine-tuning between 11092 and 11093 and stuck to it. Anyway, tnx to everyone for their trouble in putting this on again, no doubt a treat for those who could hear it better or for the first time (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. VOA Spanish check vs DentroCuban jamming, UT Nov 15: at 0020 both 9885 and stronger 5890 were playing jazz, no jamming audible. At 0052, Club de Oyentes show was giving full postal address of a Brazilian listener for many years, who must be resigned to Spanish instead of Portuguese (tho he could get the VOA African service in Luso if he tried). Still no jamming heard on 5890. See also CUBA [and non] (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. Altho Cuba jams WRMI during countless hours while in English or non-exile Spanish, Nov 15 at 0022 a poor signal on 9955 was discussing Cuba, but no jamming. WRMI program grid as of Nov 1 at the DXLD yahoogroup files shows 0000-0030 UT Sunday is La Voz de la Asociaci?n, among several other Saturday-evening exile programs. Association of what? It`s missing from the website list of programs at http://www.wrmi.net/schedule.php which now has a lot of info about various shows, including some photos of participants, altho not all the times have been updated. Jeff White explains: ``It's the Association of Veterans of the 2506 Brigade (Bay of Pigs). Just started recently`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. Thought I would check the WBCQ 7415 webstream and see if anything is on it now that 7415 itself is off the air Saturday at 2215 when Marion`s Attic used to air. Yes, what else but Brother Scare! As if he didn`t have enough platforms. Better check 7415 to see if it is really off the air --- yes it is, at 2220, but ZD7 is becoming audible (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** VIETNAM [and non]. 11605, Nov 15 at 0017 with nasty mix of Brazilian and Asian language, audible het of some 200 Hz. At next check 0046, just Brazilian alone closing program with ``ciao, at? o pr?ximo s?bado``, and then folk music. That is VOR via GUIANA FRENCH. The Asian is RFA Vietnamese via TAIWAN: schedule fits, ending at 0030. I was thinking jamming was in play, but maybe just a typically off-frequency Taiwan transmitter, a menace to any on-frequency outlets even from the other worldside (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ### End of Hard-Core-DX Digest, Vol 83, Issue 15 ********************************************
