** ANTARCTICA. 15476, Thursday May 9 at 1333, still no signal from LRA36, BUT:
Horacio Nigro in Uruguay inquired April 17 of the Marambio Foundation in
Argentina (which established Radio Nacional Arc?ngel San Gabriel and still has
some contact with it) about its current status, and as he reported to the
condig list, finally received a reply May 8: ``Me dijeron que ahora est? la
estaci?n en servicio sin ning?n inconveniente, saliendo en 15.476 MHz
aproximadamente a partir de las 19 horas local.`` It is operating normally on
15476 from approximately 19 local time --- that would be 22 UT, instead of the
mornings, assuming local time = Buenos Aires. We can hear General Pacheco
poorly around that time on 15345, so now we need to go after Esperanza on 15476
in the evenings. Unfortunately this news arrived too late to include on this
week`s WORLD OF RADIO 1668 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ARGENTINA. 15345, May 9 at 1220, poor signal with song probably in Spanish
from RAE. But things are changing there after years of stagnation: during an
English broadcast, Ron Howard heard them announce that they will be adding
Chinese. And Jorge Freitas got the details from the ADXB in Brasil, improved
translation:
RAE begins broadcasts in Chinese! RAE is happy to announce that as of Monday,
May 13, will begin broadcasting in Chinese from Mondays to Fridays, 10-11 UT
(live) and 04-05 (recorded).
The incorporation of transmissions in the Asian language will change, albeit
slightly, the timetable of morning programs in Japanese, Portuguese and
Spanish: Japanese will begin to come out at 11-12 UT; Portuguese will have the
hours 12-13 UT, and Spanish will be at 13-15.
[this replaces: Japanese 10-11, Portuguese 11-12, Spanish 12-14; and previously
closed at 04 after French. The morning Spanish broadcast will then be totally
overshadowed by 15340 RHC from 1300 if not also HCJB Australia --- gh]
The [Chinese] broadcasts will be on 6060 and 15345 kHz. However, the
retransmission of Chinese, at 04 UT, is on 11710 kHz. We rely on your
listening!`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** AUSTRALIA [and non]. 11665, May 9 at *1259 RA comes on in English, 1300 into
Chinese, mixing with MALAYSIA which had been playing a song, and quite similar
on 9835, but not //. How much longer will the 11665 collision be allowed to
last? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BANGLADESH. 15505, May 9 *1354.5, Bangladesh Betar carrier on, quickly
adding continuous tone test and some hum; 1357.4 starts IS; 1359:43 (or
decimally 1359.72) ends timesignal early, opening Urdu; very poor signal. I
wonder if on their English broadcasts we can`t hear, BB are providing
first-hand, objective coverage of the clothing factory disaster and scandal?
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake [non], May 9 circa 1230, CNR1 jamming instead:
13830, fair at 1223 with CCI; none in the 14s
15970, fair at 1222
16920, fair at 1222
16980, fair at 1222
17080, good at 1223
17170, good at 1223; none in the 18s, 19s
13795, previously last known real Firedrake frequency is no longer heard at
several chex 12-14 UT May 9.
CNR1 jamming before 1400 UT May 9:
13830, fair at 1340, fair but Cuban noise jamming bleed from 13820
14750, poor at 1340
15115 & 15195, good with CCI as usual at 1335, inband and not ex-FD
15565, poor at 1332, het on hi side, i.e. V. of Tibet, Tajikistan
15610, poor under WEWN, also propeller noise, het on lo side, ditto
16920, fair at 1335
17080, fair at 1335
18180, very poor at 1338
11300, no jamming and no Sound of Hope audible here at 1232, where Ron Howard
was hearing it in clear yesterday at 1212, spelling out website in English,
amounting to an ID.
12000, CNR1 also here on earthquake service, May 9 at 1228 as usual out of
synch with the jammers. Ron says a good time when this is not relaying CNR1 is
1730-1830 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. Slipshod RadioCuba at 0500 UT May 9 radiates RHC English at the moment
on 5040, 6000, 6010, 6060, 6165; since 6000 has not yet been moved to 6125;
ma?ana (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NEW ZEALAND. 11725, May 9 at 0516, RNZI is AWOL, not here, nor on 15720
scheduled until 0500 tho previously aired by mistake after 0500; nor any DRM
noise circa 13730 or 11675; yet RA is VG in AM on 13630, 15240, 15515, so
conclude the RNZI is totally off the air. Still nothing at 0530.
9700, May 9 at 1233 during Pacific news magazine, at last RNZI has weaker
off-beam signal appropriate for the NW 325 degree Timor antenna as supposedly
scheduled, but I am convinced they were really on the NE 35 degree Pacific
antenna the past week (except May 6 back on 9655). Until today, the 9700 signal
had been rivaling 9580 Australia. What next? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 1120, May 9 trying to determine the schedule, if any, of KEOR
Catoosa/Sperry/Tulsa: still not on the air at 1352 past 1400, but next check at
1427 UT, now on with PMS = praise music in Spanish (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** SOMALILAND. 7120, May 9 at 0332, no signal detectable from R. Hargeisa
around its usual sign-on. I had not sought it lately, but Ron Howard was also
surprised to find it absent May 6 at 0350. Others, please check (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1668 monitoring: first cast confirmed on WRMI web, UT
Thursday May 9 at 0331, but no signal detected on 9955, despite no jamming; nor
at 1256, 1344, so suspect off the air. Scheduled 9955 repeats: Sat 1500, next
Tue 1100.
So go for: Thu 2100 on WTWW-1 9479; UT Fri 0330v on WWRB 3195 (and we hope
maybe 5050); UT Sat 0130v on Area 51 via WBCQ 5110v-CUSB; Sat 0630 & 1430 on
HLR 7265-CUSB (please confirm in Europe); Sat & Sun 2330v on WTWW-2 9930; UT
Sun 0400 on WTWW-1 5830.
Recent WORs have also been hearing at unpredictable times between 17 and 24 UT
on WTWW-2 9930 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** VATICAN. 11625, Thursday May 9 at 0520, good signal with talking drums, then
VR opening `Communications Update`, heavy Afro accent from own announcer, but
then segment from UNESCO about 121 journalists killed last year; prompted by
World Press Freedom Day May 3. This English semihour is 184 degrees from SMG
CVA, while French before and Portuguese after employ different azimuths (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 17450, May 9 at 1338, ear-splitting whine centered here; with
BFO, it`s made up of multiple carriers closely spaced and apparently beating
against each other; gradually diminishes out to 17420-17480. This has being
showing up sporadically for years around 17450, and yet to be explained (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

SWAZILAND 15104.972 TWR Manzini SWZ noted with a very fine signal at 1608
UT on May 9, here in Germany on S=9+20dB level !
Kirundi language requested for 1557 to 1627 UT slot, sounds little like
similar "Brazilian Portuguese" sound tonality.

Retro Radio Dial 1953
The Caribbean
____________________
A fascinating look back 60 years ago to 1953 and the radio stations
that could be heard from the Caribbean has just been released
by the Radio Heritage Foundation at www.radioheritage.com.
You'll find a complete list of stations along the dial from
islands of the Caribbean such as Puerto Rico, and a small number of
other places like Bermuda, British Honduras, British Guiana,
Barbados, Jamaica and Trinidad.
Many of these stations no longer exist.
This was a period less than 10 years after the end of WWII when
broadcasting was in its early days in the region. The dominance of
Puerto Rico on medium wave [AM] is pronounced, along with the major
use of shortwave for many islands and territories. But, most islands
simply did not have a local radio station of any kind.
Retro Radio Dial Caribbean 1953 is the latest of a new series
exploring the global radio dials at important times during the last
century.
This is the first of a new series looking at radio broadcasting in
1953; others to come include Africa, Philippines and the Middle East.
You'll also find popular movies of 1953, the top 20 songs of the
year, and recommended reading about the Caribbean of this era as well
as useful facts which all help contribute to understanding the
context of the 1953 radio dial in the Caribbean.
The Radio Heritage Foundation is an independent non-profit
organization with no connections to the broadcasting industry or any
government agency, and is supported by people worldwide who think
it's important to protect radio memories for the future. Content at
www.radioheritage.com is free.
Come along and visit the Caribbean radio dial in 1953
with us. There's even a place for you to share your own radio
memories or thoughts of those times.
We welcome your feedback on this new Retro Radio Dial series.

____________________
A fascinating look back 60 years ago to 1953 and the radio stations
that could be heard from Africa has just been released
by the Radio Heritage Foundation at www.radioheritage.com.
You'll find a complete list of stations along the dial from the
African continent from Algeria and the Tangier International Zone in
the north to the Union of Africa and Mozambique in the south, and
other places in between.
Most of these pre-independence radio stations and even countries no
longer exist.
This was a period less than 10 years after the end of WWII when
broadcasting was in its early days in the region. The dominance of
South Africa on medium wave [AM] is pronounced, along with the major
use of shortwave. But, most countries simply did not have a local
radio station of any kind.
Former Portuguese territories such as Angola and Mozambique had
growing numbers of stations, Nigeria had just two, Southern Rhodesia
had a well developed network on mediumwave, and British forces and
American AFRS stations could be found in places like Libya, Eritrea
and Kenya.
North Africa had emerging networks, but French Equatorial Africa and
French West Africa were largely lacking in stations, relying on Radio
Brazzaville from the Congo for service.
