Here are the short messages of Bandwatch of DARC,
prepared by its director Ulrich Bihlmayer, DJ9KR
Radio Hargaisa from Somaliland will continue to send the 40-meter band.
The radio station was released on 13 September at 7120 kHz with morning
(0430-0530 UTC) and evening programs (1500 - 1900 UTC) with typical Arabic
music and program contributions in the Somali language. The Bandwatch of
DARC has led to the Federal Network Agency and foreign telecommunications
administrations international Interference messages to Somaliland.
The Russian Army station REA4, location Moscow has made frequency change.
The band intruder sent during the summer with a highly distorted signal
rapid shift keying in F1A with a shift of 1 kHz on the frequency 7117 kHz.
Now he has, following an appeal to the Federal Network Agency changed since
the beginning of November, the frequency and transmits on 7018 kHz.
Unfortunately, this is still in the amateur band!
It is really true that Russia, with its right not Military stations
consideration for Amateur radio bands.
The Sporadic-E openings in the 10-meter band make taxis audiable from the
CIS.
In summer and autumn make the Sporadic-E openings audiable a large number of
taxis from Russia and the CIS countries, as in the CIS taxi services use for
years, the entire 10-meter band as a reliable contact in FM radio between
taxi companies and their taxis.
OM Hadel DK2OM listed with the Agency taxis from Russia (the majority),
Kazakhstan, Ukraine and Uzbekistan. What is new is that these taxis were
recently even in the 15-meter band, frequency 21402 kHz, heard in FM.
Datawell-Waverider buoys in the 10-meter band.
After Wolf Hadel DK2OM already on 12th October belongs to 29525 kHz with a
strong signal a buoy the company "Datawell" location east coast of Brazil,
had to send in F1B with 82 baud, he took on 29500 or on 29525 kHz Datawell
buoys off Gibraltar and Casablanca. Wolf has the Dutch Bandwatch informed,
since the buoys are produced in Holland.
Over the horizon radars in Amateur radio bands from China, Turkey, Cyprus
...
and France !
They disturb by rattling and rumbling, which can be up to 50 kHz wide. Clips
are on the website of the DARC bandwatch. Disturb the radars in areas 10,
14, 18, 21 and 28 MHz, being always the MUF, the maximum usable frequency,
followed.
OM Mario DG0JBJ sent the Bandwatch 62 reports in the 15-meter band
and 126 in the 10-meter band. The evaluation made OM Bihlmayer DJ9KR.
New is an overview horizon radar at 7000, 14000, 14250 and 21000 kHz
with 6 sweeps per second and a bandwidth of 20 kHz.
It is located in France.
Wolf Hadel DK2OM has informed the Federal Frequency Agency.
Codar ocean wave radar from India.
This radar, it sends 14075 to 14125 kHz, with 50 kHz bandwidth comes from
the Bay of Bengal, India.

Heard these Europirates on a micro-DXpedition Sunday morning (times to the
second are either s/on or s/off):
4026 LHH 0628-0639. (11 Nov.)
6205.23 R. Orang Utan 0656:43-0902:55. (11 Nov.)
6210v R. Waves Int. 0703:02-0745:40. (11 Nov.)
6210 UNID. 6209.98 at 0655:15-0727:30. (11 Nov.)
6260.08 Skyline R. Germany (tent.) 0824:40-1001:26. (11 Nov.)

6937.5 IMR 0906:32-1007, (11 Nov.)
MONGOLIA 7470 R. Free Asia (via Mongolia) 1229 Chinese Pop-like mx then canned
EG ID by M as "This is R. Free Asia. The following program is in Tibetan", and
pres. pgm promo by W to 1230. Didn't realize RFA was relayed via Mongolia.
Co-channel QRM from another stn of equal strength. Just got an e-mail from
Valerie Johnson at VOA who said to supply my addr for a confirmation. (12 Nov.)
UNID. 7235v Ethiopia?? Signal on the air at 1305:30 on 7234.98, drifted down to
7234.96 in 2 min., then drifted up to 7235 and under VOA by 1310 where it
stabilized for about 8 min. At 1318 it was on the move upward again getting up
to 7235.1 by 1331 and then drifted back down to 7235.05 by 1345. Too close to
VOA and too much QRM from the "Classroom" Ham net. (12 Nov.)
13 NOVEMBER 2012: Decided to see what could be heard in the early afternoon
from the micro-DXpedition QTH. Wanted to get started before 1800 but didn't
make it. Don't think I missed anything. Highlights were Hargeysa, Oman, and
Djibouti. Nice listening with absolutely no local noise.
RX: Microtelecom Perseus SDR with ARR preamp.
ANT: 315' Beverage (BOG) at 70?.
QTH: Pennsylvania State Game Lands #26
Duration: 1805-2105 UTC
Solar Indices: Didn't check, although the Solar Flux quickly shot up from 122
(before I left) to 146 (by 0030 later). And there were R2 radio blackouts all
day.
WX: Mostly cloudy. Chilly, around 32?.
ZANZIBAR 11735 ZBC R. Already getting a fair signal w/strange chanting at 1805.
1945-2040+ long speech w/frequent ments of Zanzibar, and Tanzania. (13 Nov.)
NIGERIA 7254.93 V. O. Nigeria Nothing at 1806. Tlk by W w/what sounded like a
remote rpt, so prob. nx. Getting pounded by Hams though. Strong at 1950 w/EG
feature. (13 Nov.)
IRAN 6205 V.O. Islamic Rep. of Iran 1807 tlk by W in lang. Somber piano mx 1827
and off. (13 Nov.)
Getting audible signals on 5955 V.O. Vietnam via Austria, 5970 CRI via Albania,
5980 V.O. Turkey, 5990 R. Romania Int. and 6039.96 R. Tirana at 1810. (13 Nov.)
BELARUS?? 7255 R. Belarus (tent.) Signal here at 1822. Must be Belarus. This is
the worst part of the band; strongest and most abundant Hams. (13 Nov.)
SOMALIA 7120 R. Hargeysa 1825 mx very weakly. Definite HoA mx at 1831. Took the
amp out at 1832. M anncr at 1833. Stronger and IDable at 1853 w/tlk by 2 men.
Nice ID at 1856.55. 1858 W w/speech excerpts by M w/roomy audio, then 2 men
again. 1900 HoA vcl mx, deadair at 1901, and off at 1901:40. Not all that
surprised that they were coming in at this time!! So, right now Hargeysa is
heard here at 0330, 1300, and 1830!! Amazing. (13 Nov.)
OMAN 15140 R. Sultanate of Oman Very strong at 1852 w/end of call-in pgm,
promo, then AR mx. Nx after ToH to 1912. No doubt the best ever heard here.
Dropped down drastically and was poor by 1959. Strange conditions. (13 Nov.)
UNID. 7210 UNID. 1855 maybe Fana?? (13 Nov.)
SWAZILAND 6130 TWR Swaziland Was getting 2 signals here at 1918, then caught
usual TWR IS at 1921 while the other stn was in tlk, probably V.O. Russia. (13
Nov.)
NIGERIA 6089.86 R. Nigeria, Kaduna Very weak mx at 1923. M anncr at 1929. In
the clear here but not strong enough. (13 Nov.)
IRAN 6085 V.O. Islamic Rep. of Iran 1929 IS, then W w/ID in Italian, and NA.
(13 Nov.)
SERBIA 6100 R. Serbia Int. IS coming in easily at 1930, and into EG pgm. (13
Nov.)
SAO TOME 4940 VOA relay First signal showing up on 60 meters at 1932 other than

time. Fairly good. (13 Nov.)
DJIBOUTI 4780 RTV Djibouti Getting mx at 2030. Lively HoA mx at 2041. Long tlk
by M in Afars and more mx. 2100 closing anmnt, then played only about the last

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1
** AUSTRALIA. 13630, Nov 14 at 0629, R. Australia propagating well but with
double audio which cleared up at 0630. Apparently an operational error with a
promo playing atop a discussion about Pakistan and Indonesia in progress (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake Nov 14, before 1400:
12230, poor at 1351
12980, poor at 1352
11970, poor at 1353
None 13-18 MHz. See also TIBET [non]
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. 7435, Nov 14 at 1358, REE IS clearly audible tho very poor signal: it
really cuts thru the ether. Also audible on // 7220, both Kunming. Scenario:
human operators overseeing this (if any), think this tune is Nepali, supposed
to introduce the CRI Nepali service at 1400 on both, since it has been doing so
now for years & years. Also, all these 4-minutes-per-day of additional REE
relays may compensate for accumulated outage times during intentional relays on
11910 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [and non]. 5025, Nov 14 at 0619, R. Rebelde has heavy RTTY atop it.
Still waiting for someone to identify the source (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** SPAIN [and non]. COSTA RICA. 11815, Nov 14 at 1343, horrible buzzy blob of
distortion, REE Cariari transmitter way out of whack again, as could barely
match this to pauses in the modulation on OK and much stronger // 15170, in
Castilian, not Basque. New program schedule was to have started Nov 12 but
we`ve yet to see it.
17595, Nov 14 at 1406, REE direct with pop/rock music in Spanish, no
announcements, some neat songs such as ``Hace Calor``; is this fill music?
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also CHINA
** TIBET [non]. 17535, Nov 14 at 1429, carrier on, very poor signal, 1430
starting talk, presumably V. of Tibet opening via MADAGASCAR. No jamming at
first past 1433, but at 1436 there is a fast SAH, presumably Firedrake. Still
sticking to 17535; not in HFCC but considering stations which are, jumping to
17530 is not an option with VOA S?o Tom? listed there, but 17540, 17545 are
open (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also USA [non]
** TURKEY. 12035, Nov 14 at 1419 I try again to hear V. of Turkey`s 1330
English broadcast to Europe, which is unavoidably USward too. Finally there is
a very poor signal with music, 1422 announcement can`t tell if in English, but
1423 starts VOT IS, each repeat taking 16-17 seconds, for 2+ minutes but the
final play cut off at 1425 after the first 8 notes. Meanwhile, CODAR swishes
were starting to appear at 1424 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U K [non]. 9410 & 9460, Nov 14 at 0623, BBCWS in English, poor on both,
reconfirming as 9460, not 9465, and both listed as ASCENSION (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [non]. 17725, Nov 14 at 1403, VOA news, 1405 Music Mix, fair signal
aided by 17730 RHC being weaker than usual. HFCC shows 17725 is 100 kW, 126
degrees from S?o Tom? at 14-15 (followed by Botswana at 15-16), while S.T. is
also on 17530 at 14-15, 88 degrees, and come to think of it, I was not hearing
that today aside V. of Tibet at 1430 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9330-CUSB, Nov 14 at 1355, dead air from WBCQ instead of GFRN (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1480, Nov 14 at 0558 UT, Brother Scare is already on with contact
info, no doubt new KBXD Dallas, altho Jerry Kiefer told me Nov 13, ``No refined
program schedule yet. The southern gospel periods will be filled in with
programs as we move forward and Bro Stair will be midnight till 5.`` So maybe
he just started a bit early, or is filling in more than that for the time being.
As for the Mexican music I have also been hearing on 1480, Jerry Kiefer also
says, ``The Spanish could be from the suburban Houston or the 10 kW in Mexico
best that I can figure.`` That would be KLVL Pasadena TX, which I did not
consider since NRC AM Log lists it as Asian; or XETKR Monterrey, but night
power is supposedly only 500 watts (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1200, Nov 14 at 0637 UT, Mexican music and SAH, best in WOAI
null, but hard to tell the direxion of this. Unusual of course for anything to
rival WOAI, but K-index was 6 at 0600, with moderate/G2/R2 storms per WWV at
0618. Probably one of these in Cant?:
1200 XEWT W Radio + FM 97.7 Culiac?n, Sin. 1,000 250
1200 XEYF UniRadio F?rmula + FM 91.5 Hermosillo, Son. 1,000 250

A rather strange way to learn that LRA36 has resumed broadcasts today has just
happened:
Mirta, co-announcer of R Arc?ngel San Gabriel, during the 2012 Antarctic
Campaign has just commented in a post of my blog "La Galena del Sur" featuring
the station on Aug. 2012,? that they are on the air from today on.
This is the message posted as a comment that I am roughly translating from
Spanish:
"My name is Mirta and I share the studio, during this year 2012 at Base
Esperanza station, with two more partners and the technical operator and we are
very excited because today we returned to convey to everyone after the repair
of equipment. We are proud to share this news with everyone!"
Original text in Spanish:
"Mi nombre es Mirta y durante este a?o 2012 comparto el estudio de la emisora
en base Esperanza junto a 2 compa?eras m?s y el operador t?cnico y estamos muy
emocionados por que hoy volvimos a transmitir para todo el mundo luego de la
reparacion de los equipos. Es un orgullo? poder compartir esta noticia con
todos!!!"
