But you possibly dont kow that on 80s I was a fan of hard music . How I got contained with hard rock is here out of the question but I will just a little history of rock music stations Thessaloniki in only one paragraph. . The first radio station in town is Rock Radio on 104.7 mHz from Joe Joe Vaccaros. This station started in mid 90s with light and easy rocks Later near to the end of 90s 1055 rock has been started on the freq of 105.5 MHz . Tha later station is located opposite to FM 100 same street with ERA 958 (close to the International Trade fair) Since last year 1055 added a wild brother on 106.5 under the name Extreme or 1055 Extreme Edition . This station airs only hard core music such as heavy metal hard rock , gothic death speed thrash symphonic etc This year with the closure of Mythos FM 93.4 on Feb 13 a rock bar named Woodstock Bar, in the western part of the citys centre , took the facilities of Mythos (including their live stream more recently ) and refurbished it under the name ProckA FM (proka means big nail notice the capitals !). The new station includes many kinds of the rock scene as old hard rocks , heavy metal , etc but still is lighter than Xtreme . Below you will read a lot of fun due to the amateurish technical approach of both stations together with program updates Extreme in its start was with a very bad and muddy audio (read: equalization curve ) comparing to its brother 1055 and for a very lengthy time This April ProckA was still experimenting with their audio fidelity and modulation . Their volume was very low (more than 15 db sometimes comparing to other stations ) and very very trebly . And also during May /June they had connection problems (namely loss of a channel !!) On May Extreme separated from ProckA due to their thrash program and added punk rock and some Greek alternative rocks and metals . But also Extreme had problems in their transmissions . First with some gaps in their playbacks up to 1 minute (!!) in June July And on mid August changing to monophonic audio . That means for me as killing their music And another funny now with ProckA FM. As noticed above ProckA is held by a bar and located inside this bar. Visiting them mid August on the noon I found the bar closed, As a neighbor told me the bar opens on evenings / nights . That means ProckA uses play list most of the day Found that there is live program everyday after 2000 till 0100 or 0200 . Procka meanwhile , was very fast on May top respond to messages . IN just 2 minutes they could reply . BUt more recently they could respond to music requests very late. I have two examples . The first on the start of September was 45 minutes after the call (requested a song from their advert )and the second never (a song from two groups that possibly they dont have as KIz and Great Kat)! and the audio gaps in ProckA still continue . The bronlem seems tobe mainly from their computers ... As for Xtreme it is sure they do play listing Both stations during late nights (as eg after 00 or 01 ) calm their music . ProckA plays classical rocks and ballads while Xtreme plays hard rocks or hard ballads Advertising in both stations is minimal ProckA has about 6 adverts played in between 2-3 songs which is for me quite annoying. Two self adverts and two adverts for the bar. Extreme has only 4-5 adverts played on 30 min intervals. One of them is the craziest advert heard ever. There are two short ID s (ca 5 secs ) played between 1-2 songs MY verdict : ProckA gets a higher rate than Xtreme 7.5 vs 5 for two reasons : The later killed stereophony and plays sometimes too hard music (thrash gothic ) that gets me quite tired but .not always! I can add a third reason as in my house its signal is low and has strong QRM from the western part of the city. ProckA can be heard in the intenet via this link http://184.154.202.243:8042/listen.pls (the stream from Mythos FM ) There is also a web page (only for sending messages ) and a page in Facebook https://www.facebook.com/pages/Procka-FM-934/119475064898190?ref=br_tf Unfortunately Extreme has not a stream. Unfortunate update: Since 17th of November ProckA has been replaced by the Synaspismos (left party) station IN red with mostly political content. But ProckA continues to transmit via internet only in the above link my radio shack: http://www.ipernity.com/doc/zliangas/album/282394 http://delicious.com/gr_greek1/zak (all my pages ) ------------------------------ Message: 2 Date: Thu, 21 Nov 2013 02:04:28 +0800 (SGT) From: Akbar Indra Gunawan <akbariguna...@yahoo.com> To: "hard-core-dx@hard-core-dx.com" <hard-core-dx@hard-core-dx.com> Subject: [HCDX] Fw: Fwd: Winter Shortwave Radio Broadcast Schedule of Eternal Good News Message-ID: <1384970668.34643.yahoomail...@web194001.mail.sg3.yahoo.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 On Thursday, November 21, 2013 12:05 AM, "ga...@cox.net" <ga...@cox.net> wrote: > Date: Thu, 14 Nov 2013 17:41:29 -0500 > From:? <ga...@cox.net> > To: ga...@cox.net > Subject: Winter Shortwave Radio Broadcast Schedule of Eternal Good News > > All DXers, I appreciate your good deed of monitoring our shortwave radio > broadcasts and reporting on the reception.

Must be Oklahomans. Searching on NNN0YCJ leads to this treasure trove of ``Oklahoma Broadcasts`` right up to last week: http://www.navymars.org/south/reg6/ok/okbcsts.htm NNN0YCJ is Mike P. Baker and had a birthday October 22. NNN0QNN is Rodney, birthday April 29. NNN0RKS is WADE P. NORRIS K5WFN DUNCAN OK 73533, birthday November 22. Frequencies it seems are never mentioned in this document, but nets/frequencies are always referred to by code numbers. ``REMEMBER WE ARE OKLAHOMA, REGION SIX AND NAVMARCORMARS; PROUDLY SERVING THOSE WHO SERVE.`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** PERU [and non]. 5980, Nov 20 at 0059, R. Chaski is back after being unheard since Nov 13. Music spans the hourtop past 0101; at 0102.5, I recognize a jingle heard before at this time in the Red Radio Integridad programming being relayed, and cut off at 0104:26*, which is close to my projexion of the precession during the missed week. 5980, Nov 21 at 0057, I find a big het here, or is it a tone, from a carrier much stronger than R. Chaski. It`s not exactly centered on 5980.0, but about 5980.4. This carrier goes off at 0100:36* but comes right back on at *0100:46. Nevertheless, with BFO I can still detect the much weaker carrier from R. Chaski which goes off at 0104:32*, six seconds later than last night, in the margin of error. But what`s the new signal? I don`t detect any modulation on it other than tone. Unseems either side of the China Radio War, too strong and steady. Suppose it could be another form of Cuban jamming against nothing rather than the usual pulsing which periodically infests this frequency unused by R. Mart? at all in the evenings (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1696, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** SPAIN. 21630, Nov 20 at 1345, for a third day, REE is back on the clasher instead of 21640; and at 1355 no announcement whatever about this (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1696, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1695: first airing confirmed on WRMI webcast, UT Thursday Nov 21 at 0430, which now follows Studio DX with Roberto Scaglione in Italian. Too weak/too much noise to hear it on 9955. Repeats are still Saturday 1600, Tuesday 1200. Next: On WTWW: Thursday 2201 on WTWW-1 9475; UT Sunday 0030 on WTWW-2 5085; UT Sunday 0501 on WTWW-1 5830. On WWRB: UT Friday 0429v on 3195, and maybe 5050-USB like last week. On Area 51 via WBCQ: UT Saturday 0300v on 5110v-CUSB. On Hamburger Lokalradio, Saturday & Wednesday 0730 & 1530 on 7265-CUSB Full schedule including many webcasters: http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 5050-USB, Nov 20 at 0058, WWRB with big band music, // 3215-AM. But Nov 21 at 0109, no WWRB on 5050-USB tonight (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 960, Nov 20 I did not check at 0600-0605 UT for the KGWA Fox-Hole, but at 0656 find KGWA is now in dead air, which lasts until non-Fox hole news cuts back on at 0700, and just before that I get a clear ID for KMA 960 and KMA-FM 99.1, Shenandoah IA (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) UNIDENTIFIED. 1200, Nov 20 at 0105 UT, with WOAI nulled, I am getting somestation in Spanish, mentions ``La Raza``, which hints it is US, not Mexican, YL announcer for a while, before WOAI fades back up. I continue to check this most nights in hopes of hearing the Brazilian Portuguesish as once before, but which was probably not all the way from ZYland (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) This report dispatched at 0527 UT November 21 End of Hard-Core-DX Digest, Vol 131, Issue 20 *********************************************
