Radio Taiwan International - Frequency change for listeners in South Asia
Starting March 7th, 2011 our english transmission to South Asia from 1600
to 1700 UTC on 11550 KHz will be replaced by 9435 KHz. While we do notice
the occasional problem of noise and interference in certain parts of India, the
new frequncy has a stronger signal than 11550 KHz. We would also like to
take this opportunity to thank listeners for monitoring the reception
condition for us in India.

** BULGARIA. 15700, Sunday Feb 27 at 1457, I am always amused when I hear a bit
of Lalo Schifrin`s ``Mission: Impossible`` theme on R. Bulgaria, some episodes
set in that country thinly disguised. It`s amid the DX program in Bulgarian
with items about YFR via Sri Lanka, Libya, R. Free Sarawak via Palau (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. 17495, fluttery Feb 27 at 0029 pop music, sounds Brazilian, so might
be something interesting; but at 0031 announcement in Chinese. Different
Chinese stronger on 17645 at 0032. The real story emerges from HFCC and Aoki
listings:
17495 is CRI via Beijing site at 0000-0300 in Cantonese first hour, rest Amoy,
500 kW, 193 degrees. 17645 lists only VOA Mandarin at 0000-0100 via Tinang,
PHILIPPINES, 250 kW, 349 degrees, but *jammed, probably CNR1 being heard here
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. Another day, another anomaly on RHC: Feb 27 at 0554 I notice that 6150
is open carrier, while the other English frequencies are musical, 6010, 6050
and barely-audible on the other side of Spain, which has not quite signed off,
6060 aimed toward Europe.
RHC`s Sunday-morning mode again in effect, i.e. certain frequencies off, even
tho the ``Al?, Presidente`` channels were not on to replace them. These were
off at 1445: 12040, 13680, 13750, 15370, 17750.
These were on at 1445: 11760, 13780 with `En Contacto` in progress, missed
first dekaminute. Will next repeat be an hour+ later again than 2240? Reading
another listener essay on the topic ``?Qu? le ha tra?do a Vd. el diexismo?``,
by Daniel (not Camporini) in Argentina. Then `info-postal` quick
acknowledgments of a few reception reports, ended at 1449 in time for some RHC
promos before doctor show.
These were on at 1531, 1534 with RHC: 11730, 15120, 15360; and 11760 open
carrier presumably after switch to Esperanto but not confirmed, 1533 resumed
with RHC `news`. Not on: 11690 or 15370; not on either, 11680 which other days
of week has RNV at 15-16. 15120 however, was on obliterating any signal from
Nigeria; usually RHC has it off before 1500, VON-time.
Still no 13750 or 17750 El Hugazo at final check 1723 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** GUAM. 11690, in absence of RHC since it`s Sunday and there is no `Al?,
Presidente`, another weak signal losing out to perpetual RTTY on the low side,
Feb 27 at 1534, music I tentatively qualified as ME, but not quite, listed as
KSDA in Kannada at 1530-1600, 100 kW, 285 degrees from Agat (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GUATEMALA. 4052.5-, trying to hear R. Verdad`s eleventh anniversary show,
Feb 27 at 0138, but not making it, so I bring up the webcast via
http://www.radioverdad.org --- just in time! As they are reading my greeting in
translation, then one from Manolo de la Rosa of RHC. Reconfirms they are now
running 210 watts, and that Satan was responsible for the breakdown of part of
their 500 watt transmitter in December. 0147 played the ``Himno a R. Verdad``,
also on website via http://www.radioverdad.org/node/164
0157 another greeting from Rafael Rodr?guez in Bogot?, and more studio
discussion between Dr. Madrid and another announcer, as they introduced more
staff members, one of whom was sick and could not be there for the celebration.
By 0549, 4052.5- had become audible, hymn with piano, S9+12, some het from
4050. Earlier, Dr Madrid replied by e-mail Feb 25 to my greeting:
``Dear Glenn: Thank you for your new report, and congratulation for our
anniversary.
Our present current power is 210 watts. Engineer Ralph Borthwick just informed
me today that our two other PA amplifier modules are working fine already. We
just need them to be sent to Guatemala, and probably have to pay a large amount
of tax again for them. As soon as I receive one of those two modules, we'll
raise power up to probably 500 watts or more.
We have the crystal on hand for changing into 4055 kHz, but we don't have the
equipment to measure the exact frequency for the time of changing the crystal.
Whenever we do it, we'll inform you.
Our transmitter, with only one PA amplifier module, is operating very fine, and
the strength power is very high. However, we are facing a constant trouble: The
Control Card is working badly, and we have to wait from two to three hours
every time we put the power on, and the radio frequencies raise up so delayed.
The card is stuck in its sockets, and I am afraid to force it out, because that
may cause some damage, and we could go off the air for a long time again. So, I
prefer to continue with such a difficulty. And, electricity fails many times in
Chiquimula, and a slight failure will put our transmitter off the air for about
three hours every time it happens. May God bless you, Dr. ?dgar Madrid, Radio
Verdad`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** LIBYA. Poor propagation impeded reception of VOAFTGJ on Feb 27: at 1425, no
21695 audible, and only weak signal on 13m was 21630, i.e. BBC Hausa via
PORTUGAL; no Spain. 1428, can make out a carrier on 17725, but undermodulated
and beneath bubble-jamming from my cable DTV converter module. 1459, now 21695
is audible with music, much better than 17725, but it`s time for `real news`
from Tripoli, as Christiane Amanpour, ABC-TV has been allowed in to interview
two of MAQ`s sons, so over to KOCO-7. 1556 check, 21695 again, now S9+8 with
JBM music, about the same as 17725 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MOROCCO. 15341v, RTM is still here at 1537 Feb 27, not yet switched to
15345v. Nominal QSY time used to be circa 1500, but really when they get around
to it (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. Tulsa monitoring: Bruce Winkelman there found KGTO-1050 dead air,
open carrier, all morning Feb 26, but had resumed when I tuned in at 1945 UT,
KGTO ID with good-time oldies.
At 1720 UT he found 1270, 1530 and 1570 not in //, with different Spanish
music; but at 2105 UT, 1570 and 1270 seemed // to me, switching back and forth
on one caradio, while 1530 was buried by KOKC splash. He and I agree that 1120
KEOR remains off the air for weeks (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** RUSSIA. 9840, VOR English to WNAm via Pet/Kam, DVR sometimes makes it here,
sometimes not. Feb 27 it was good at 0600, much better than 9855 Vladivostok
which also seems weakerly modulated, and an echo apart. However, 9840 was atop
some lite CCI, presumably R. Rossii, Moscow site which they have foolishly
scheduled to collide between 05 and 07. This should get worse further east
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENIG DIGEST)
** SARAWAK. Malaysia makes het-DXing easy by offsetting several of its
frequencies, e.g. 5965v and 6050v. Feb 27 at 1420 I am also hearing a het on
the hi side of some much stronger Chinese on 7270. On Feb 23, Ron Howard in
California had measured Wai FM on 7270.48v at 1113, // 11665. Pulling any
identifiable audio here is another matter. The Chinese at 14-15 is jamming
against V. of China, Taibei, per Aoki (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 2390, WWRB, Feb 27 at 0027 preacher talking about Yahweh, VG signal,
much better than // 5050, but 2390 accompanied by buzzy envelope out to
2375-2405, worst peaks circa 2380 and 2400. This happens at times to WWRB on
9385, presumably same transmitter. 2390 still not on all-night, at 0550 check,
probably closing at 0500.
Dave Frantz`s latest Feb 26 comments to me:
``Greetings: Some tidbits: Most everyone by now owns a digital shortwave radio
that can tune the 2390. We are receiving GREAT reports. We are VERY pleased.
Don't forget the 2.390 MHz, 340 degree rhombic antenna is almost 200 feet high;
trying to use a rhombic antenna less than 160 feet high is a waste of time on
these frequencies. We are changing 5050 antenna to our 045 degree rhombic, in
anticipation of the longer daylight hours coming up.
WWRB has come a L-O-N-G way from our first station in Georgia [WGTG], that's
for sure. In a nutshell, We have WISED UP. It took some time, but we no longer
allow ourselves to be taken advantage of.
We have been concentrating on the Aviation side of the house for the last 5
years: What would you concentrate on? A one hour program on shortwave for
$80.00 per hour [if you`re lucky], or ---
Fly all day long, 8 hours a day, 6 days a week, watching the world go by,
inspecting a pipeline or powerline &/or right of way, for $300.00 per hour and
get this: GET PAID!!
Our Patrol aircraft are booked solid, adding two airplanes next week.
To see one of our Patrol aircraft visit: http://www.wa4sze.com That airplane
59Q can stay in the air for OVER 10 hours!``
In his YouTube video, I see that in his pilot`s uniform, Dave has four bars on
each shoulder. What rank is that, as a civilian? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX

** AUSTRALIA [and non]. 15400, Feb 27 at 2353 an unusual mix of Harold Camping,
asserting that Jesus returns May 21 and all (well, almost all) graves will then
be opened for whatever remnants of the corpses are left to fly into heaven ---
and with SAH some hymnic-sounding music underneath. Aoki shows HCJB starts
Indonesian at 0000 and WYFR ends at 2400, but obviously there is really an
overlap: HFCC has HCJB from 2345, and WYFR until 0100 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 15370, checking RHC for the weekly 2230 Esperanto service to S
America, Sunday Feb 27 at 2246: ``B?same Mucho`` song, but is it in Esperanto?
Yes! ``Kisu Min Multe``, I think the title goes in Esp`o. 2249 announcement I
thought about the next conference to be in S?o Paulo, but Google finds: ``La
96-a Universala Kongreso de Esperanto okazos de la 23-a g^is la 30-a de julio
2011 en Kopenhago, la c^efurbo de Danio``. Note: the circumflex really belongs
atop the g and the c, but MS Word conveniently separates them to forestall
garbling. Reception declined from fair to poor, audio not too distorted.
11770, Feb 27 at 2252 checking whether `En Contacto` has reappeared at its old
timing --- no, RHC is playing a song with Jew`s harp boinging, outroed as by
exiled Chilean group during the Pinochet dictatorship. (Ever notice how RHC
never refers to the `Castro dictatorship`, or of any other farleftist??) Also
on // 12010 and an echo apart on 12040. Unfortunately, I missed checking an
hour later when E.C. probably showed. What must have happened is that since RHC
started signing on at 2200 instead of 2100, this Revista`s contents are
generally one hour later than before, and naturally the online program schedule
has still not been updated for at least a biyear; anyway, the contents of that
magazine are not shown, must be ascertained by axual monitoring.
So I made a special point of catching the final repeat of `En Contacto` which
started UT Monday Feb 28 at 0234.6 on 9770 et al. After more birthday greetings
than usual, Manolo had a report from Juli?n Santiago about the new Mexican
X-bander, XEANAH, R. An?huac on 1670, corrected info of a few weeks ago about
the timings for E.C. to Sunday 1435, 2240, 0235 [Monday].
Unfortunately, as above, 2240 is no longer correct either. And now we must be
prepared for another one-hour shift earlier by UT when DST starts March 13, to
compensate for one-hour later when DST went off last fall; or not? He also gave
my correxion on the website for the Spanish DX program audio archive; and into
the ``what has DXing brought to you`` essay, which is where I came in earlier
on airing #1 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GUAM. 15320, KSDA with AWR Wavescan in progress, UT Sunday Feb 27 at 2240,
sufficient signal, Jeff White interviewing Oldrich Cip [with a hook over the C]
at HFCC Praha. They would still like to meet in Tunis sometime when things
settle down; next one will be in Dallas TX, August. Also noted there has not
been much reduxion in number of registrations in the HFCC database, despite
some stations going off the air, which really didn`t have that much frequency
usage. (Also, major existing stations, notably BBC and IBB, have unnecessarily
fragmented themselves more and more into one-hour blox on different
frequencies, I moan.) 2245 program ID by Allen Graham, who I seriously doubt is
an Adventist any more than Jeff White or Oldrich Cip are, 2246 on to some
downunderite, but I`d already had my nap so QSYed 50 kHz up to CUBA, q.v.
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6815, Feb 27 at 2352, weak music on AM, presumably The
Crystal Ship. As happens too often, it was not until well after its start that
I turned on computer and opened e-mail notifying us of a TCS broadcast around
new 6816 from around 2200. Anyhow, there was too much T-storm noise with
tornado warning two or three counties away (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A [non]. 17680, CVC La Voz, Miami via CHILE, hunting around for some
music to help me nap, I landed here, Feb 27 at 2215-2240. Strangely enough, it
was gospel-rock in English, occasional Spanish announcements. I couldn`t really
follow the lyrix when I tried briefly, so can only hope they did not penetrate
my subconscious! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 18530, on a whim I tried this frequency for the second harmonic of
WINB, which I had not heard in a while, and there it was, Feb 27 at 2300 with
ID ending in ``United States of Americuh``, and quickly // to 9265, as both
went into a screaming gospel huxter. It was so bad that I had to listen on the
fundamental for a while to decide whether he was screaming in English or
Spanish; I thought Spanish was not scheduled at this hour, but it was Spanish,
as confirmed on their program schedule at http://www.winb.com/schedule.htm
which has been updated! As of Feb 20:
06:00P / Sun-2300...Templo Trinidad Presents Jesus Christ [until 2330; there`s
another Spanish ministry Mon at 2300-2400, but other days in English until
F?mily Radio starts at 0000].
However, these numbskulls show their own fundamental frequency as 9625 instead
of 9265, and no mention of the harmonic. 18530 was very poor, fading to JBA. If
we can otherwise believe it, sked shows ``9625`` no more used in the mornings
at all, just 2200-0330 converted to UT so also the limitations of 18530;
0330-1130 9405, 1130-2200 13570. As an overnight channel 9405`s harmonic 18910
is unlikely to propagate, but might this summer at peak or with Es help. Those
who can bear the crap on CB when there`s a short-skip opening, or let us
imagine F2, might hear the other WINB harmonic on 27140. Just listen for a
weak, warbly carrier matching the fundamental (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** VATICAN. 9600, at 2315 Feb 27, VR praising Jesus Christ in Latin, and
signing-on in Vietnamese, sending far too much signal USward direct from SMG; I
just missed hearing whether they still run an English fragment before it.
And also with buzzing QRM extending from about 9590 to 9615, the latter
worst/clearest around 9605. It`s sort of halfway between DRM and OTH radar,
both of which have no business in the middle of the 31m broadcast band, but
tell that to The Consortium. I had also noticed that noise when I tuned past
9600 about an hour earlier. It`s probably not DRM. Bulgaria is scheduled with
DRM on 9600, and BBC/Portugal on 9610, but at very different hours (Glenn

Another correxion: 2 x 9405 = 18810 as yet unheard, not 18910. Glenn
