INDIA/ALBANIA/GERMANY
13640 kHz tonight April 12, 18.39 to 19.00 UT.
Radio Tirana Shijak TX started signing-on - carrier only - at 18.39:45 UT.
Signal strength is S=9+30dB tonight from Albania.
At Netherlands remote Perseus rx unit Shijak carrier covers AIR Arabic sce
totally, but AIR is heard underneath, with a slight heterodyne of 41 Hertz
frequency difference.
Measured both signals on 13640 kHz channel tonight:
RT Shijak on approx. 13639.972 kHz
AIR Bangalore approx. 13640.013 kHz.
At 18.44:20 UT Radio Tirana interval signal started English program.
After RT program and close announcement at 18.57:05 UT,
the tx at Shijak switched off suddenly at 18.57:14 UT.
btw. also Media & Broadcast Cologne changed their 13640 kHz usage of
tonight, "Radio Dardasha 7" program at Wertachtal on 13740 kHz at 1900-1930
UT, instead of 13640 kHz.
Wertachtal tx 13740.000 kHz 125 kW, carrier switched on at 18:59:40 UT like
at crash start, signals strength in Europe and Iceland around S=9+10dB,
despite signal is beamed southwards at 180 degr to the Muslim world.
Hopefully Radio Tirana will follow soon, to avoid brutal interference by AIR
India.

Community Radio helps
rebuild New Brighton
Christchurch [NZ] after
February Earthquake
_____________________
Just over a month ago, the Wellington [NZ] based Radio Heritage
Foundation had the idea of bringing a mobile radio station to support
the eastern suburbs of Christchurch.
In less than ten days, a licence was granted and Southland
broadcaster Chris Diack had moved a mobile radio studio into the main
street of the seaside suburb of New Brighton and Radio New Brighton
was on the air on 102.1 FM.
In the weeks since, Radio New Brighton has become an integral part of
the eastern suburbs recovery and rebuilding process, with locals
calling in to the studio to chat about lost pets, hot shower
facilities, stores reopening, public meetings, children's events and
much more.
School children from the Central New Brighton School where the mobile
studio is parked perform live singing, poetry and jokes on the air
and send dedications to their teachers. Locals with no previous radio
experience find themselves on the air hosting their own shows in
minutes.
Radio Heritage Foundation chairman David Ricquish says "this is just
the kind of local community radio we had in mind when we saw the need
emerging for more local news, information and reassurance in eastern
Christchurch in the weeks immediately after the February 22
earthquake."
"Our international board members have decades of experience with
emergency radio broadcasting in Africa, Asia and the Pacific and were
able to give us some good pointers on how to make this work such as
getting local people involved as soon as possible" he adds.
He says the support of existing local low power FM radio stations in
setting up the station was crucial to its early success, along with
amateur radio operators and students from the NZ Broadcasting School
whose facilities were in the cordoned off CBD. Telecom provided free
broadband and other links very quickly, and the local school agreed
to the mobile studio being on their premises within sixty seconds.
The Radio Heritage Foundation, holder of the radio licence for 102.1
FM, now wants to see a permanent community radio station, run by
locals, established in New Brighton once the current emergency
broadcasts end.
"The mobile caravan can't stay there forever so locals now have a
great opportunity to create their own community radio station to
support the arts, culture, business and the great seaside lifestyle
of this community" says Mr Ricquish, whose family have lived in the
area since 1950. "We'll be delighted to help establish a strong
community group we can partner to keep local radio in New Brighton"
he adds.
The Radio Heritage Foundation is a registered non-profit organization
connecting popular culture, nostalgia and radio heritage and its
global website is www.radioheritage.net.
Another of its 'Helping Rebuild Christchurch' projects involves
restoring the original 3ZB radio studio and transmitter building in
New Brighton in time for its 75th anniversary in 2012.

** ANTARCTICA. 15476, April 12, guess what? Still no LRA36 carrier at 1255,
1407 chex (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake April 12: nothing on 8400 at 1252, and with very poor EAs
propagation today, only cursory check upband found no others (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [and non]. 17560, RHC continues to collide with VOA at 1930-2030, both
in French the first semihour, checked April 11 and 12. Who will blink first?
VOA moves around frequently for less reason than this. Did Arnie pick the
frequency knowingly, just to annoy the enemy, at the expense of RHC`s own
clarity, that being the only frequency scheduled for French at 1930, Portuguese
at 2000?
13780, April 12 at 1311, RHC missing from this frequency, but still on 13680;
at 1409 both were on. At least one transmitter may be giving them problems, as
at 2325 check for R. Nacional de Venezuela relay, 15250 was missing, but 13680
was on as usual, as well as weaker RHC itself on 15230, 15370 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GERMANY [non]. 15510, April 12 at 1406, DW in Russian, good signal as usual
even when not much else making it from Europe, despite being 500 kW, 62 degrees
from Rampisham, UK at 1400-1659 (then 1700-1757, 250 kW, 15 degrees via Kigali,
RWANDA). At the moment it sounded like there was a collision with a slightly
weaker station in another language until I realised that DW itself was doing a
voice-over probably from original German. SW stations need to realize that
audio clarity is more important than fancy voice-overs. Depending on the
ultimate audio processing, the undercurrent may be boosted louder than the
studio producer expects. One language at a time, please! Or fade out completely
the original real quick. O, I forgot === SW is just an ancient afterthought to
web and satellite (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. 9526-, VOI, April 12 at 1257, already inserting English ID into
tail of Japanese hour, but quite poor signal on bad propagation day. At least
it`s on the air, unlike yesterday. Late at 1301.5 started `Exotic Indonesia`
co-produxion with Jakarta, but no point in trying to listen (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** IRAN. Finally got around to checking the new A-11 frequencies for the
so-called ``Voice of Justice``, VIRI`s English service to North America,
0130-0230 UT --- In B-10 both channels were losers, 7250 colliding with V of
Russia and 6120 with R Habana Cuba. April 12 at *0130, 11920 comes on a few sex
before 9605; sign on correctly giving these frequencies, Qur`an 0133-0136, then
Qur`an interpreted briefly in English. Some flutter, and 9605 slightly stronger
but no ACI or CCI on either, working well for them.
Another check April 12 whether R. Tirana 13625 has QRM from Iran on 13630:
depressed propagation meant nothing but a carrier could be detected on 13630
until 1427:38*, presumably VIRI Japanese service still here and not running
over, while no carrier on 13645, alleged QSY (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** JAPAN [non]. Correcting date on this, not April 22, of course:
15735, April 11 at 1301 poor with news in English of Japan disasters, music
stingers ? la NHK, and in fact it is R. Japan, via Tashkent, UZBEKISTAN. HFCC
shows two 100 kW transmitters, both to CIRAF 41, i.e. Pakistan, India, Sri
Lanka, Bangladesh, one at 141 degrees, the other at 163, getting them all
covered (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SPAIN. 11795, REE Emisi?n Sefarad, UT Tue April 12 at 0132 has good signal
as usual even tho to S America, but discussion has continuous pulsing noise
underneath, rather like atop a Cuban jammer. But I think it is self-imposed
poor audio produxion, faulty feed link or transmitter. No reason for Cuba to be
jamming here, like 11775 vs Mart?. Meant to see if it was also inflicted upon
the 0415 repeat on 9650, but missed it. Did anyone else notice, or on the Mon
1425 on 15385? I`ll bet not.
17595, the normally solid REE signal weekday mornings direct from Noblejas,
April 12 at 1315 is fluttery, unusual for this lower-latitude path; recovered
later in the hour, OK for token Arabic news at 1438 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
