Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8; format=flowed
SURINAME - Radio Apintie on 4990 kHz. Heard on Dec 18 2009
0440-0525 UTC, apparently randomly chosen music (heard the
same song twice) with a Dutch language jingle at 0521 UTC.
Signal fair to good in New Hampshire, with interference from
a weaker co-channel station (AIR?) in the background.

** BULGARIA. 15700, R. Bulgaria, Friday Dec 18 at 1448 with hauntingly
beautiful choral music, Bulgarian announcement, 1452 to different folk music
involving YLs shouting and clapping, accordion-like accompaniment. This
semihour is often good for music variety from RB (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake Dec 18 at 1426: 8400 poor, 9000 JBA, 10210 zilch, 11300
fair (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 11760, Dec 17 at 2146 RHC in Creole, audio breaking up like a computer
problem, while 11770 etc., were in Spanish, more or less OK. This of course
does not match the official schedule on website showing Spanish also on 11760
at this semihour.
Following my remarx about why does RHC run so many // frequencies on 49m, one
of them has moved to 31m! 9600 ex-6140 at 0649 Dec 18, Prof. Arnaldo Coro in
English about the drought in some central provinces. This certainly makes sense
propagationally, as 11760 is often audible past local midnight as it was
tonight, in Spanish; and 9600 had an excellent signal. It`s called frequency
diversity. Final check at 0746 found that had switched to Spanish, probably at
0700.
The `official` sked on website still shows 6140 to ``Chicago`` at 00-05
Spanish, 05-07 English, 07-11 Spanish, so it remains to be seen if its entire
span has been switched to 9600, if this was just an experiment, or what. Noel
Green in England also heard 9600 this date as late as 1030 in Spanish.
Nothing but DentroCuban Jamming Command`s wall of noise on 9955, Fri Dec 18 at
1420 during scheduled repeat of The Happy Station on WRMI, produced by a former
RHC employee; as usual, jamming cleared up after 1500 during R. Prague relay.
In my previous report I referred to Frecuencia al D?a being on WRMI Friday at
1200; I meant, Thursday (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. Here we go again, VOI changing transmission times, by mistake or
deliberately? On 9525.9, Dec 18 at 1423 I hear English instead of Malay, so is
it one hour late or one hour early? YL was talking about bamboo musical
instruments as we heard one in the background. Fair modulation but with hum,
and no het audible from anything on 9525.0. 1427 VOI ID. Another talk, and as I
was trying to figure out the subject obscured by the accent, when at 1429 it
cut off the air for a few sex; 1432-1435 off for a longer period; 1436
off-on-off-on-off; 1437 on-off-on-off-on-off; 1438 on-off; 1440 on, 1441 off;
1442 on-off; 1443 on; 1446 music seems to stay on. I may have lost track of the
exact count of offs and ons; by then I was just listening for carriers
audiblized by BFO slightly offtuned, as it would have been totally useless to
try to follow the program content. 1454 it was off, and on again; 1458 on
during CRI Kashgar het but VOI much atop. 1500 VOI
jingle, English ID with frequencies, website, addresses, ``sound of dignity``
and into Malay (I think, not Indonesian) an hour late, still on at 1507, but at
next check 1528 was off (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KOREA NORTH [non]. 5985, Sea Breeze, another Friday in English, Dec 18 at
1403 OM with heavy accent citing numerous headlines from Kyodo dealing with N
Korea, not just abduxion stories, always followed by the same newsy sounder. No
QRM, and fair with deep fades, via JSR JAPAN (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** NETHERLANDS [non]. Re 9-083: while my previous log Nov 28 of RNW`s
reactivated Arabic service toward North America, 22-23 UT relayed via RWANDA
9895 found it mostly music; on Dec 17 I listened from 2215 past 2230 and it was
VG, mostly talk with some music breaks. 2226 something about Islam. Did not
hear a ``Huna Amsterdam`` ID this time, but at 2230 they were referring to the
country as Holanda, with the H aspirated unlike in Spanish; off abruptly at
2257* before we could hear any mixup with Greenville Spanish. The DW techs
habitually close at 3 minutes before the hour whether programming is finished
or not (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NIGERIA [and non]. R. Australia not making it at all on its several 13 and
15 MHz frequencies at 0650 Dec 18, and only two very weak signals audible on
19m, notably 15120, could tell they were in English mentioning Nigeria, so
certainly VON as scheduled (and not on 15121v this time). The other was 15205
in Hausa, certainly DW as scheduled via Rwanda. So nothing but Africans were
barely propagating (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SURINAME. Following reports of R. Apintie being audible on 4990 (0440-0525
per Rik van Riel, NH, HCDX), I tried again for it, Dec 18 at 0632 --- yes, some
very weak music audible there, much weaker than Brasil 4985. Don`t know what
else it could be altho someone also reported something in German on 4990, and
Rik had co-channel QRM, from India? Surely not at that late hour.
Apintie is always tough here; must be very low powered or unfavorable
direxionality. Aoki says it`s 1 kW, 180 degrees due south, obviously to serve
the country`s outback, and at 08-03, but there have been many previous reports
of it on all-night, which may be quite sporadic. WRTH 2010y agrees on the power
but does not give any schedule (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U K [non]. 7535, BBC in Chinese with hardly any jamming! Dec 18 at 1415 with
several IDs, website pronounced in English, etc. But by 1417 I could hear music
in the background which matched the CNR1 jamming on 7525, 7295. Details
uplooked later in Aoki: both victims are via Thailand, VOA Chinese on 7525, BBC
Chinese on 7535 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. A quick check of WWCR-1 webcast Dec 17 at 2137 found country music,
not what you would hear on Rock the Universe, so its Thu 21-22 UT time on 7465
must also be suspended (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WEWN, 13835 with heavy long-path echo, Dec 18 at 1442. Since it`s one
of my closest SWBC stations, scarcely one megameter away, it is necessarily one
of my furthest long-path possibilities, 39 Mm away. Call-in show in English
giving phone 877-573-7825; to be fair, such calls should also be routed the
long way round the world. PMS via WWCR was strong enough on 13845 at the moment
not to be too much bothered by the nasty spur from WEWN (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [non]. The `personality cult` of Harold Camping is ever-growing.
Noticed him droning on some apparent new frequencies, Dec 18: at 1438 on 11995
and about 3 seconds later on 9440, Open Forum taking question from caller who
asked if he is on Facebook. He`s not sure, doesn`t seem to know what that is.
He does know that Family Radio has a website.
I bandscan just about every morning during this hour and had not heard him on
these two before. Confirming my suspicions, neither frequency for YFR is in
Aoki yet dated Dec 18, nor in the Dec 4 update of EiBi. There were some YFR
schedule updates from DX Mix News in DXLD 9-085, but not these, altho 11995 had
been replaced from Nauen at 16-17. So the sites for these are still unknown,
evidently not the same since they are unsynchronized (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED [and non]. 6005, BBCWS in English via Ascension, Dec 18 at 0655
with Network Africa reporting from Cameroon! There was nothing else audible
here except an extremely weak het. BBC cut off at 0659:30 amid a programme
prommo, and with BFO on I could still detect an extremely weak carrier. We
would like to think it is RTVC, Buea, which we know is active, 4 kW? supposedly
occupying the 07-17 gap in BBC usage of the frequency, but it could start
earlier (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 6074, 8GAL, very weak V/CQ marker detectable JBA at 1400-1401 Dec
18 after Russia closed 6075, and still no sign of China vs Taiwan after that.
The main problem was splash from CFRX 6070 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING

The Shortwave Report 12/18/09 Listen Globally!
by Dan Roberts ( outfarpress(at)saber.net )
Thursday Dec 17th, 2009 2:36 PM
A weekly 30 minute review of news and opinion, recorded from a
shortwave radio. With times and freqs for listening at home. 2 files-
broadcast and slow-modem streaming. Free to rebroadcast. China,
Netherlands, Cuba, and Russia.
Dear Radio Friend,
The latest Shortwave Report (December 18) is up at the website
http://www.outfarpress.com/outfarpress/shortwave.shtml in both broadcast
quality (13.3MB) and quickdownload or streaming form (4.9MB) (28:59)
(NEW! If you have access to Audioport.org there is a higher quality version
posted up there {26.7MB} http://www.audioport.org/index.php?op=producer-
info&uid=904&nav=&)
This week's show features stories from China Radio International, Radio
Netherlands, Radio Havana Cuba, and the Voice of Russia.
>From CHINA- The US and Russia are nearing completion of a new Strategic
Arms Reduction treaty. A British court issued an arrest warrant for former
Israeli Foreign Minister Livni on charges of war crimes in Gaza. Then
several stories from the Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen as of
Wednesday, Beethoven's birthday, the deadline for the SWR. China says
developed countries should make the biggest changes and that China will
reduce greenhouse gas emissions regardless of the conference's outcome.
A report was released saying that the majority of disasters in 2009 were
weather related. China continues to increase the development of wind power
to cut carbon emissions. China is opposed to the use of carbon tariffs as a
way of achieving climate change goals.
>From NETHERLANDS- Radio Netherlands has eliminated shortwave
broadcasts to North America. The decision is based on their surveys that
find very few listeners in N America. If you ever listen to RN on shortwave,
please let them know- by email to letters [at] rnw.nl or send them a letter to
Radio Netherlands Worldwide, PO Box 222, 1200JG, Hilversum, The
Netherlands.
A report on the environmental policies in Canada, where Prime Minister
Harper has led the degradation of Canada's former pristine image. As world
leaders approach Copenhagen, the Danish city has set itself as a model of
carbon reduction, aiming for carbon neutrality by 2025.
>From CUBA- In response to Obama's troop surge, the organization March
Forward has called on all soldiers to refuse orders to deploy to Afghanistan
and Iraq. The US supreme Court has refused to hear a suit against Donald
Rumsfeld and others for the torture of Guantanamo prisoners.
>From RUSSIA- Japan has postponed the deployment of new Patriot missile
bases. Arab nations are attending a conference to develop economic
cooperation through the establishment of a new common currency. A
commentary on reports of increasing use of heroin by US soldiers in
Afghanistan.
There is an article about the Shortwave Report by Cassandra Roos on line
at-http://www.campusprogress.org/soundvision/780/big-stories-shortwaves
I was interviewed for an informative weekly radio show Mediageek, available
at http://radio.mediageek.net
All that plus times and frequencies for listening at home. It's free to
rebroadcast, please notify me if you're airing it and haven't notified me in
the
last month, please mention the website if you only air a portion. If you just
want to listen and have a slow connection, try the streaming version- lower
sound quality but good enough and way easier if you don't have a high-
speed internet connection. If streaming is a problem because of your slow
connection, download the smaller file- it takes 20 minutes or less, and will
play swell in any mp3 player application (RealPlayer, Winamp, Quicktime,
iTunes, etc) you have on your computer.
This program will be aired on Friday afternoon at 4:30pm (PDST) on KZYX/Z
Philo CA, you might be able to stream via < http://www.kzyx.org >
There are several other streams that work better- <
http://www.freakradio.org >Freak Radio Santa Cruz now streams this
program on Friday at 9:00am.(PDST)
The Shortwave Report may be downloaded as a podcast from <
feed://http://www.radio4all.net/responder.php/podcast/podcast.xml?series=o
utFarpress+presents > or iTunes (search for "shortwave" in podcasts)
Check out the amazing streams at < http://www.radicalradio.org >
And Radio For Peace International at < http://www.rfpi.org >
I hope you'll listen and air this if you're connected with a radio station. I
am
still wondering how to get financially compensated for the 25 hours I put into
this program weekly- any ideas are appreciated. Any stations rebroadcasting
this (or listeners) are welcome to donate for production costs. You can do so
through the website. Many thanks to those that have donated! No Guilt!

Message-ID: <4b2c028a.32196.d8a...@greekdx.otenet.gr>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1
MISA-Zimbabwe speaks on shortwave radio stations
http://www.zimbabwejournalists.com/story.php?art_id=6276&cat=1
By MISA
MISA-Zimbabwe has been following with particular interest the seemingly
contentious issue of shortwave radio stations within the context of the
ongoing SADC mediation process.
It is MISA Zimbabwe?s well considered view that broadcasts by shortwave
radio stations is an internationally accepted global phenomenon in terms of
the International Telecommunications Union Treaty and is in tandem with
the realization of Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
Shortwave radio frequencies have been critical in allowing access to
information for disadvantaged and repressed peoples across the world.
They also played a critical role in the heroic struggles of the people of
southern Africa against colonialism.
In view of Article 19 of the GPA, MISA Zimbabwe finds it most unfortunate
that the three political parties that are now in the inclusive government have
misunderstood the purpose and function of shortwave radio stations.
The fact that these radio stations are transmitting within the legally
allocated
frequency bands by the host countries and without any contravention of the
ITU stipulations, takes away the credence of the argument of their illegality.
In addition, there are no laws in Zimbabwe that restrict the broadcast of
shortwave frequencies into our country. In fact, Section 20 of the Consitution
of Zimbabwe guarantees that citizens are free to hold and to receive and
impart ideas and information without interference.
The stipulation in Article 19 of the GPA requesting that foreign governments
desist from hosting/ funding the shortwave radio stations can only be
construed as tantamount to calling for the banning of all shortwave radio
stations across the world.
This would be reflective of disdain on the part of the three political parties
for
United Nations Treaties as they relate to both the ITU and the Universal
Declaration of Human Rights.
It is MISA Zimbabwe?s contention that the core issue at hand is not about
shortwave radio stations, which incidentally do not just broadcast into
Zimbabwe alone, but is more of reluctance by certain elements among the
negotiating parties to allow for the proliferation of freedom of expression and
access to information in Zimbabwe.
MISA Zimbabwe therefore strongly recommends that the three signatory
parties to the GPA focus more on the fundamental issue of freedom of
expression and access to information which has been denied the people of
Zimbabwe.
This would entail the immediate licensing of private broadcasters for both
television and radio while at the same time converting the Zimbabwe
Broadcasting Holdings from a state broadcaster into an independent public
service broadcaster.
Once that is achieved, the issue of `outside broadcasts? would be of minor
concern to Zimbabweans yearning for a liberalised media environment that
allows them access to alternative views, opinions and ideas that shape and
inform their decision making on socio-economic and political issues that
affect their wellbeing.

"In the absence of anything significant to review, a mere ten pages are

professional receivers of bygone years, which includes the Racal RA17

opinion, this receiver round-up review has forgotten the Degen DE1103 which
has became a good pet for FM & SW DXers for at least the past 5 years with an
excellent cost-performance relation. Also despite the models mentioned in the
"low-cost portable", the Ultralight niche among MW DXers is under expansion and
currently flourishing, thanks to the work and promotion made by Gary DeBock, &
all the people gathered in the ultralightdx Yahoo reflector and the support
given by DXer.CA and Colin Newell, since its beginning two years ago. Receivers
like the SRF 59 (the first ULR revelation), the PL300WT, Sony T615, Grundig G8,
D96L and the latest PL380 are encouraging many oldtimers who renewing their
interest for MW DX, with a minimal expense. Certainly, however, the serious
table-top DXing indeed appears to have its future in SDR and DSP radios.
