Dear FRS Friend!
Christmas 2020 casts its shadow forward and we are approaching the end of
2020. An almost (?) surrealistic year.
Perspectives for 2021 are hopeful but it will take time and patience before
our hopes will be fulfilled, looking at the upcoming start
of vaccination.
*Special year *For us at FRS-Holland it was a special year too. 2020 marked
our 200th official shortwave broadcast back in August and the icing
on the cake was the celebration of our *40th Anniversary* a few weeks ago.
April saw a broadcast of hope right in the middle of the
first Covid-19 wave. Last Summer we did an experiment with The FRS Summer
Splash: three successive thematic broadcasts.
40th Anniversary broadcast
The November 8th on air 40th anniversary celebration exceeded our
expectations. That day we were heard with good signals on - apart
from 7700 & 5790- also on 6195, 6160, 3920. A great success!
I remember that Saturday I went to our P.O.Box 2702... it was crammed with
letters...snailmail! Together with all e-mails we can only
be happy and proud. The comprehensive preparations to make it an
interesting, successful and memorable broadcast paid off!
CD, Booklet & QSL
It's my guess it won't surprise you that the months prior to November 8th
were fully focused on preparing, organizing etc. There was
no time for other 'business'. Nevertheless we felt it was the right moment
for a souvenir CD ?nd booklet. And: we had to work on creating/
producing an unique Anniversary QSL as well. It was not until a week after
the Anniversary broadcast that a start was made to produce
the CD, booklet and QSL.
In the mean time the 'ingredients' for the CD have been finished. The main
idea for the special QSL card has been worked out and even better:
the QSL has already been printed. Those who send a reception report/letter
to P.O.Box 2702 will not regret it: the 40th Anniversary QSL
is (in my humble opinion) a success and looks splendid. It's a folded A4,
printed on heavy quality paper in full color. Wait and see!
For those who sent an e-mail report, regretting (after reading the above)
they didn't go for a *hard copy*: you can still get your unique QSL
by writing to P.O.Box 2702. We have printed a few extra ones but remember:
this QSL is only issued for the 40th Anniversary broadcast!
Without exaggeration: the hard copy QSL is by far the best option!
The CD & booklet will be finished in the next few days. Final conclusion: a
bit of patience is required.
Traditional December broadcast
The FRS Seasonal December broadcast is scheduled for Sunday December 27th,
the day after Boxing Day. It's a tradition we won't give up.
So except a nice mix of great music, items & information in a few weeks'
time.
More info will follow via mail and on our website.
73's, Peter Verbruggen on behalf of the FRS staff

MOLDOVA {Pridnestrovie}
11530even Kurdish Radio Denge Welat from Grigoriopol Maiac Pridnestrovie
near Ukrainian border suffer of ICING this morning on the antenna dipols /
feeder ?
Noted two S=5 spurious signals, on both sides on
11479.5 and 11580.5 kHz in 50.500 kHz apart distance.
BUZZy and some 8 x peak strings visible in Perseus screen display.
Noted in Doha Qatar and in western Europe monitoring.
Denge Welat suffers co-channel by recent Turkey Pres Erdogan jamming
from one of the five Thomcasts at Emirler-TUR on odd 11530.007 kHz,
latter much stronger heard in Mauno's place in eastern Finland though.

ERITREA Thanks to a tip of hjb Hans-Joerg Biener Germany
noted a tiny signal of Asmara Eritrea
twice this Monday UT afternoon
7140.020 kHz at 15.56 UT noted in Athens Greece and
Doha Qatar Perseus Net remotedly,
but on very tiny 1 to 5 kW power level, when compared
to other well known signals from NE and ME / HoAF, SoAsia.
Now at 17.06 UT on Dec 14 again
same tiny signal on real Asmara 'footprint frequency'.

** CANADA. UT December 14 after 0700 UT, a very quiet night at my
too-late bedtime for more ND beacons, more under USA.
334-MCW kHz, Dec 14 at 0730 UT, dash and YER, 200 watts at Fort
Severn, Ontario. Where`s that? ``Fort Severn First Nation is a Western
Swampy Cree First Nation band government located on Hudson Bay and is
the most northern community in Ontario, Canada. In 2001, the
population was 401, consisting of 90 families in an area of 40 square
kilometres. Wikipedia``
332-MCW kHz, Dec 14 at 0732 UT, dash and YT, mixing with IC Wichita,
which is quite weak, but the usual overrider is QT from Thunder Bay.
Maybe I mis-copied. There is also YTE, 1000 watts from Cape Dorset,
which I would much rather log as first from Nunavut, and the E-dot
could have got lost in the mix. Also a third JBA signal, copied as
YIS? Does not compute. Maybe really FIS in Key West - Fish Hook FL,
400 watts. Need to try these again!
284-MCW kHz, Dec 14 at 0739 UT, dash and YD. Probably was really QD,
500 watts at The Pas, Manitoba. Yawn, my code-copying may get confused
half-asleep.
274-MCW kHz, Dec 14 at 0741 UT, dash and YPM, which is 25 watts at
Pikangikum, Ontario. DXinfocenter.com shows it in red as ``back on``
250-MCW kHz, Dec 14 at 0743 UT, dash and FO, 1600 watts from Flin
Flon, Manitoba.
244-MCW kHz, Dec 14 at 0744 UT, dash and TH, 1000 watts from Thompson,
Manitoba; the only 244 listed anywhere in North America.
236-MCW kHz, Dec 14 at 0746 UT, dash and CRJ. Must have been ZRJ, 50
watts from Round Lake, Ontario, ``to be decommissioned 2021-02-25``.
212-MCW kHz, Dec 14 at 0748 UT, dash and YGX, 50-watt NDB at Gillam,
Manitoba. New, where`s that? ``Gillam is a town on the Nelson River in
northern Manitoba, Canada. It is situated between Thompson and
Churchill on the Hudson Bay Railway line. Many residents of Gillam are
employed by Manitoba Hydro at one of their many facilities or support
groups. Wikipedia``. In 2019y, William Hepburn listed this one as to
remain on air beyond 2026y (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** FRANCE. 13660-AM, Mon Dec 14 at 1700, Alameda Bible Fellowship,
robotic readings in English, audible S7 as soon as WINB DRM closes,
via SDR in Forney, Texas. WRMI skedgrid shows this as Mon & Fri only,
500 kW, 135 degrees from Issoudun for East Africa, multilingual. I
knew it had to be ISS as soon as I heard the accompanying beepery from
always-defective transmitter (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** ICELAND. 189 kHz, Dec 14 at 0750 UT, JBA carrier and near imaginary
or trace of modulation, as I keep tuning below the ``beacon band``,
where DXing 25-watters a kilomile away is not a problem, yet
high-power Euro LW broadcasters elude me. Here`s one almost, maybe.
R?V, 100 kW, 24 hours (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. Besides many from CANADA, q.v., more ND beacons on a very
quiet night Dec 14:
387-MCW kHz, Dec 14 at 0724 UT, CAV, which is 25 watts from Clarion,
Iowa.
263-MCW kHz, Dec 14 at 0741 UT, CVM, 25 watts from Alton - Civic
Memorial, Illinois (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2064 monitoring: NOT confirmed
Sunday December 13 at 2300 on Area 51 via WBCQ 6160v, because it is
OFF THE AIR. Someone at Monticello didn`t get the word to turn it on
an hour earlier than before? WOR is running on the webcast.
http://splatterbox.us/area51
2325 still no SW, and HRI also missing from 2329. 2359 recheck via
Warrenton MO SDR, now 6160 on in time for `Radio Timtron Worldwide`.
Synch AM displays carrier offset as -70v Hz, as usual, like 6159.93v.
WOR confirmed UT Monday December 14 at 0030 on WRMI 7730, VG direct.
Also confirmed UT Mon Dec 14 at 0130 on WRMI 7780, S9/+5 into UTwente,
after 0129 double-IDs by Zanotti and Espinal.
Also confirmed UT Mon Dec 14 at 0230 on WRMI 7780, same; and WRMI 5800
good direct; and WRN webcast, all almost synchronized.
Also confirmed UT Mon Dec 14 after 0430 on WRMI 9955, S6-S8 into
Missouri SDR; S9+20/30 into Pardinho, Brasil SDR where it`s aimed and
no jamming audible at either. Next:
1900vUT Monday IRRS 7290 Bulgaria to WNW, 594-Italy
0100 UT Tuesday WRMI 7780 to NE
0330 UT Tuesday WRMI 5800 to SSE
2200 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW
2300 UT Wednesday WRMI 9955 [jammed?] to SSE

Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 7490.15v, Sun Dec 13 at 2300, WBCQ S9/+10 direct with `Uncle
Bill`s Melting Pot`, this week with Klezmer and other Jewish music
inspired by some holiday. Better on webcast, and the first half should
repeat on both at 0000 UT Tuesday.
9395, Sun Dec 13 after 2300, another music show on this WRMI, the
new `All Tribes Radio` --- unfortunate scheduling vs UBMP on WBCQ
not to mention WOR. I`m checking ATR periodically during the hour and
do not catch a single announcement, if this be really it, just music.

``Calling All Tribes To Unite in Peace
All Tribes Radio ?Monday, August 26, 2019?
Calling all tribes to unite in peace, All Tribes Radio (ATR) was
founded by Canadian activist and musician Ken Dunn in 2008. For over
two years, the station broadcast an continuous audio stream featuring
Creative Commons content from studio locations near Toronto, Canada,
and Nosara, Costa Rica via a server in Tampa, Florida to an average
6,000 listeners per month in over 120 countries on all continents. The
station featured trip-hop and electronic music, digital DJs, and
re-broadcast United Nations Radio feeds. In 2010-2011, ATR produced 68
1-hour podcasts. ATR was one of the first internet radio stations to
exclusively feature Creative Commons licensed content.
With the assistance of Gabriela Sequiera and La Voz de Nosara, ATR
broadcast a Spanish-language program, Radio Todas Las Tribus from
Nosara, Costa Rica featuring international latin music and local news
broadcasts from La Voz de Nosara.
ATR's Facebook page continues to attract new fans and promote peace,
social justice, and environmental responsibility around the globe.
Beginning in 2019, the original podcasts will be uploaded to
SoundCloud.`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 17775-, Mon Dec 14 at 1603, still no signal from KVOH, not
really expected; wonder what`s wrong with their replacement
frequency/transmitter, 9975, heard ``low-power`` testing Saturday
afternoon but not on UT Sunday after 0000, and never on UT Mondays.
9975 maybe back Monday/UT Tuesday? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 13655-13660, Mon Dec 14 at 1631, my previous report reminds
me to attempt to decode WINB DRM as scheduled M-F 12-17 UT. KC9FFV
KiwiSDR at Forney TX is getting it when tuned to 13655 - never mind
its LSB, S7-S8, S/N circa 14.0 dB which is not enough for solid
decode, lo-fi 8.28 kbps audio in and out with heavily African-accented
English by gospel huxter. WINB website will *not* provide a 24-hour
program sked for the webcast, but Listen Live now sounds like the same
guy; analog SW does not start 9265V-wobble until 2000 UT Mondays.
I look at the sked by program name, none obviously African, and none
in the EST AMs on Mondays, just PMs. Maybe I can catch the name,
listening again to the DRM from 1657? Now it`s stronger at S9/+10, but
SNR of only 1-2 dB! so nothing audible. About 1700 the S-meter drops
to S7 as WINB turns off, leaving the band noise level. Then I can hear
an AM on 13660, see FRANCE. BTW, WINB-DRM was back on 7310-7315-7320
after 07 UT Monday rather than unscheduled 9260-9265-9270 as heard UT
Sunday (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5980, Dec 14 at 2123, song at S9, must be V of Turkey, the
SSOB from Eurasia, and virtually the OSOB from there. Nothing but
music for my napping until 2155 IS and Turkish sign-off announcement
to 2156.5* after attaining S9+20 but not enough to overcome my HLLNL =
high local line noise level. It will have to do as Sa`udi Qur`an is
not making it any more if still on 11820+ (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2064 monitoring: confirmed Monday
December 14 from 1900.9 on IRRS 7290 via Bulgaria, monitored via
UTwente with VG signal but as always heavily splashed frequency from
both sides: 7295 CRI English Urumqi is back on air after maintenance
break last week, and VOV English direct on 7280 is just as bad altho
half as adjacent.
I don`t get back from lunch before 1930 to hear how chopped off I may
be this week, but at 1939 I find the signal is very poor, at first
suspected off early? The two splashers remain much stronger. I try
other SDRs: closest to Bulgaria are in Romania and Greece, but they
are too far for groundwave, too close for much skywave. A JBA signal
to Thessaloniki could be Dan Roberts on SW Report or one of his
pickups. At 1950 I finally try an Eire SDR and hear IRRS definitely
still on, but only S8-S9. As usual, his SW Report chopped short at
1959 for IRRS sign-off.
I also monitored the lead-in: 1854 tune-in 7290 open carrier already
on with some hum; 7295 China not on yet but in addition to 7280
Vietnam there is a weaker with music on 7285, what? Aoki/NDXC says CRI
in Cha language from Xianyang 59 site until 1857; EiBi says CRI in AM
language from x site until 1900. ?? EiBi readme.txt language roster
shows CHA for Cha`palaa / Chacha in Ecuador; I think not; and AM for
Amoy. WRTH 2020 resolves the dilemma, showing no Amoy really at 1800
in B-19, but Chaozhou to Europe on 7285 and 6010. That language in
EiBi is abbr`d CC or [nan]! Anyhow, it`s off by 1857* but the much
stronger 7295 CRI English is on before 1900. Could our major
references ever get together on the lang. abbrs.?! Back to 7290: IRRS

** U S A. 5950, Dec 14 at 2122, this WRMI is much stronger than before
with a beam change effective today from 285 to 355 degrees. That
should not make so much difference here, between them at about 315
degrees from Okeechobee. Something else must have changed, modulation
improved, power level raised, and/or antenna sidelobes are now broader
too. It`s Bob Biermann, YWS? No, wrapping up at 2158 it`s his other,
radical political talkshow, `Truth to Ponder`, wondering how much
better the new frequency is for listeners, from a postal address in
Georgia. [BTW, everything that I, gh, say is also *the truth* but I
don`t have to keep asserting that it is.] Now in daytime, 5950 is
S9+10, stronger than only S9 5800 WRMI-10 which despite its
160-azimuth is quite listenable back here, e.g. during two WOR
airings.
The WRMI skedgrid http://www.tinyurl.com/WRMIfqs has been updated as
of Dec 14, with 9455 eliminated! 5950 is now pm XMTR-8 at 355 degrees,
all TOMBS except for 21-23 various and 02-04 Hal Turner. 4980 is
supposedly reactivated as XMTR-5 at 285 degrees, the old az. for 5950,
mostly SMTV or BS but some other blox at 01-02 & 07-10 UT. Now 11710
applies to XMTR-4 at 160 degrees but with NO transmissions, yet? Be
alert for QRP exciter-level emanations like formerly 4980.
Peter Hansen sums up the swaps as: ``What was on 9455 now is on 5950.
The programs that were on 5950 are now scheduled to be on 4980. Don't
hear 4980 yet, if anyone hears 4980 please let us know. Peter W
Hansen`` Nor am I hearing 4980 by 0130 December 15. Bob Biermann
himself replies on the WOR iog: ``It may be a while for 4980. It is
going to be a difficult frequency change in many levels. Matching to
the antenna will take weeks.``
That correlates with this via Chuck Gessner at 0050 UT Dec 15:
```Posted on FaceBook about two hours ago. ``Frequency changes on WRMI
--- Effective December 14, 2020, our transmissions on 9455 kHz have
been changed to 5950 kHz, and our transmissions that were previously
on 5950 kHz will be changed to 4980 kHz in the near future. We are not
ready to begin broadcasting on 4980 kHz yet, but we hope to be ready
in the coming days. We'll keep you posted.````` (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** U S A. 9975, Monday Dec 14 at 2120 checking for KVOH to come back
after failure Saturday and holyday Sunday, but nothing yet, direct.
But at 2207 I find a big open carrier in 9980 TOMBS WWCR sideband
splash; then with some minor carrier peaks, probably really modulated
tones measured about: 9974.17, 9973.35, 9972.54. 2210 replaced by
music modulation, song mentions Esperanza, S9+20/30 vs WWCR S9+30/40!
2212.5 cuts to tone, 2213 back to praise music; 2215.5 devotional in
Spanish from Ej?rcito de Salvaci?n, etc., etc. This is no low power
but it still has no business 5 kHz away from WWCR.
In the next hour, Ken Zichi was also hearing this, ``9975 is booming
into Michigan at 2315 with SS music. KVOH ID at 2321 and "Voz de
Esperanza" at at the bottom of the hour. SINPO 44+54+4 with only my
local QRM poking through. This is before the listed s/on in SS so ...
a test? Good to hear it back; the Jazz show was one of my favorites
when it was on many moons ago. 73 //Ken Zichi``
Prompting this reply on the WOR iog from Ray Robinson at 2337: ``Yes,
Ken, that's us. Previously we had the transmitter running OK, but we
were only getting a fraction of full power into the antenna. Now that
has been resolved. This should be the last afternoon of testing.
After today, it will be strictly 0000-0700 UT. Ray.``
Another look at the skedgrid, which now clarifies UT vs local days:
Major music blox 6-daily, no doubt interrupted for evangelism, are:
0200-0255 `Swing Shift` with Pat Conrad, 0400-0500 `Song in the Night`
with Scott Martin; 0600-0700 `Jazz Session` with Pat Conrad. At 0231
UT Tuesday, preaching break, Pat thinks it`s ``Sunday night``.
BUT: by 0200 UT December 15, opening English, 9975 is VP, only S5-S6
to Missouri SDR, and even worse here, S5 about = the HLLNL, unusable.
Is it propagation, or underpowered again? By 0225 to MO has built up
to S6-S9, now listenable but noisy and fadey; S5-S7 into Bonaire

I picked up a 9975khz in spanish at 0115UTC on Tue. Dec 15th and didn't see
anything listed on Eibi or Short-wave.info for this frequency or time. They
were playing what sounded *like* regional mexican style music, then an
announcer came on and i'm pretty sure he mentioned Los Angeles. So, I
emailed KVOH and got this prompt response:
"Hi, Paul. We just reactivated the transmitter on 9975 kHz last week, but
we weren't getting full power into the antenna until this afternoon. It
was last on the air in July, 2016. The new schedule is UT Tue-Sun 0000-0200
in Spanish, and 0200-0700 in English. The antenna is beamed towards Cuba
from SoCal, but it has quite wide coverage on either side, from Mexico and
Central America in the south round to New England in the north. Off the
back of the antenna, we get good signals into the Pacific northwest
including BC, so I'm happy to know you were hearing it too in AK. Thanks
for letting us know!"
