** BRAZIL. 11934.536, July 15 at 0504, R?dio RB2 measured here in its very slow 
downward drift, very poor signal with music.

11925.228, July 15 at 0505, R. Bandeirantes, poor in Portuguese (but better 
than RB2).

11854.905, July 15 at 0507, R. Aparecida is a bit stronger than RB2 which is 
probably relaying it.

11764.655, July 15 at 0510, SRDA is JBA. Usually can also detect the carrier 
even when Cuba is still on 11760.

11815+, July 15 at 0506, R. Brasil Central is missing again. However, it`s 
still active but apparently not all-night. Wolfgang B?schel measured it and all 
the others: 

``Check on dark path from Brazil to southern Germany in 2110-2130 UT slot July 
14 reveal: 11764.647, 11815.020, 11854.890, 11925.223, 11934.514 kHz. 73 wb`` 
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 4765, July 15 at 0259, R. Progreso in Spanish is back on tonight after 
missing last night. What else might one have heard in its absence? Is R. Rural, 
Santar?m PA, Brasil, active as in Aoki? Probably not. WRTH had it inactive, but 
another 4765, R. Integra??o as active. Only other 4765 is Tajikistan at 23-20 
UT. Sunrise in Dushanbe is 0014 UT, so westward one might even hear it before 
Cuba opens at 0030 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA [and non]. 11980, July 15 at 0501, V. of Turkey weak music suffers from 
weak Cuban-style pulse jamming, like some more barely audible against no Mart? 
on 11930. Hypothesis: one of the jam operators punched in the wrong frequency 
for his pointless but destructive mission (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING 
DIGEST)

** MADAGASCAR. 9480, July 15 at 0457, surprised to catch last minute of MWV in 
SPANISH! as La Voz Alegre, postal address in Cuba, S5 until 0458* vs high 
Oklahoma storm noise level. 0400 broadcast is of course supposed to be in 
English; played back wrong file? Worth checking forthwith, whether earlier 
hours jumble languages: supposed to be 00-01 English 9600, 01-02 English 9665, 
02-03 Spanish 6190, 03-04 Spanish 6150 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** RUSSIA. 7295, July 15 at 1100, presumed R. Sakha, Yakutsk in talk S5? below 
Oklahoma storm noise level of S8, but I do copy a mis-timesignal ending at 
1100:05.5; believe there were 5 mis-pips but maybe 6 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX 
LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1834 monitoring: confirmed Thursday July 14 
at 2100 on WRMI 13695, very good; strangely, Brother Scare theme played right 
up until 2100 instead of an ID. Once again, I keep listening at 2130-2200 for 
`Blues Radio International`. Bigsig makes wideband audio feasible. WOR 1834 NOT 
confirmed Thursday July 14 at 2330 since WBCQ 9330 is off (and so are 7490, 
5130). Next:

[DX] Königs Wusterhausen Transmission and Radio Technology Museum on the Funkerberg

[Kari Kallio]

In 1920 came the launch of Germany's first radio transmitter, the Transmitter 
Königs Wusterhausen, and in 1935, Königs Wusterhausen was raised to town 
status. Of the once great number of building works on the Funkerberg 
("Transmitter Mountain"), only very little is preserved nowadays, as many 
transmission towers were dismantled for technical reasons after the Central 
Tower collapsed and fell on 15 November 1972. Today, only a 210-m-high mast and 
two small freestanding towers are to be found there. Along with the remaining 
buildings, this forms a technological monument. Until 1999 this mast bore the 
transmitting antenna that served as the reserve antenna for the longwave 
stations at Zehlendorf bei Oranienburg and Donebach.
In 1994, a 67-m-high precast concrete cellular transmission tower was put up. 
It is today the only active transmitter on the Funkerberg. The first attempts 
at transmissions were in 1908. On 22 December 1920, music and speech were 
transmitted wirelessly from the Funkerberg for the first time on "Welle 2400" – 
longwave. It went down in history as the German postal system's Christmas 
concert. Königs Wusterhausen is thus also said to be the cradle of German 
radio. The artists in that broadcast were, incidentally, postal employees. The 
initiative was German radio pioneer Hans Bredow's brainchild (for this and 
other groundbreaking work, he is considered the "Father of German Radio"). 
Until 1926, the popular Sonntagskonzerte ("Sunday Concerts") were broadcast. 
The station's studio was in the beginning a remodelled bathroom at the first 
broadcasting house on the Funkerberg.
Der Funkerberg ist die Geburtsstätte des öffentlichen Rundfunks in Deutschland, 
1920. Der Beginn markiert einen grundlegenden technischen Wandel, der das Leben 
aller ­Europäer nachhaltig verändert hat. Dieses Potenzial besitzt der 
Funkerberg noch heute: Spitzentechnologie mit Tradition. Hier finden Menschen 
zusammen, die den gleichen Geist mitbringen, die ähnlich denken und sich 
darüber aus­tauschen. Dieses gemeinsame Verständnis von Vergangen­heit, 
Gegenwart und Zukunft und der Haltung zum Erfolg macht den Funkerberg zu einer 
Gemeinschaft, die nach innen ein sicheres Gefüge und nach außen 
Spitzen­technologie ver­mittelt. Auf diesem Boden und in dieser Gesinnung 
­entwickelt sich heute technisch-wissenschaftliche Kompetenz in den 
Zukunftstechnologien Luftfahrttechnik, Logistik / Telematik, Energietechnik, 
Metall-/Maschinenbau und Life Sciences, die die Gesellschaft für morgen prägen 
werden. Alle diese Disziplinen wachsen hier aus und auf dem ­gleichen Grund. 
Und 
 das ist eigentlich ganz einfach. Der Funkerberg ­positioniert sich lediglich 
als das, was er seit 100 Jahren ist: Ein Ort, der traditionell im Jetzt 
Zukunftsgeschichte schreibt. Ein Ort, der allen, die dort wirken, anhaltende 
Wirkung verspricht. 
Der Funkerberg beschreibt eine ca. 130 ha große Fläche im nordwestlichen 
Stadtgebiet von Königs Wusterhausen. Mit seinen 210 m Höhe ist der Funkerberg 
eine weithin sichtbare Landmarke. Nördlich grenzen an den Funkerberg die 
Autobahn A10 Berliner Ring und das A10-Center der Nachbargemeinde Wildau an.  
Der Funkerberg ist als Wiege des "Deutschen Rundfunks" auch von 
kulturhistorischer Bedeutung. 1920 wurde von hier aus die erste Rundfunksendung 
in Deutschland ausgestrahlt. Die denkmalgeschützten Senderhäuser sowie der 210 
m hohe Sendemast, neben dem Schloss eines der Wahrzeichen Königs Wusterhausens, 
zeugen noch heute von den Anfängen des Deutschen Rundfunks. Im Jahr 2006 erwarb 
die Stadt Königs Wusterhausen dieses Areal von der Deutschen Telekom. Seitdem 
hat sich einiges getan. Meilensteine waren beispielsweise die Wiedereröffnung  
des Sender- und Funktechnikmuseums,  die Sicherung des Senderhauses 1 als 
Museums- und Veranstaltungsstätte, die Bebauung des Wohngebietes Funke
 rberg 2 / Schulweg und der Ausbau der Straße zum Funkerberg, der im Sommer 
2014 abgeschlossen wurde.
Dass sich die Region um Königs Wusterhausen prinzipiell für die Ansiedlung von 
High-Tech-Firmen eignet, ergab eine 2010 in Auftrag gegebene Potenzialstudie.  
Als Schwerpunktbranchen wurden die Bereiche Luft- und Raumfahrt, 
Kommunikations- und Informationstechnik, Logistik / Telematik, Energietechnik 
und Life Science ermittelt. Auch im Standortentwicklungskonzept des Regionalen 
Wachstumskerns Schönefelder Kreuz ist der städtebaulich hochwertige 
Technologiepark verankert.

UT. Sunrise in Dushanbe is 0014 UT, so westward one might even hear it before 
Cuba opens at 0030 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA [and non]. 11980, July 15 at 0501, V. of Turkey weak music suffers from 
weak Cuban-style pulse jamming, like some more barely audible against no Martí 
on 11930. Hypothesis: one of the jam operators punched in the wrong frequency 
for his pointless but destructive mission (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING 
DIGEST)

** MADAGASCAR. 9480, July 15 at 0457, surprised to catch last minute of MWV in 
SPANISH! as La Voz Alegre, postal address in Cuba, S5 until 0458* vs high 
Oklahoma storm noise level. 0400 broadcast is of course supposed to be in 
English; played back wrong file? Worth checking forthwith, whether earlier 
hours jumble languages: supposed to be 00-01 English 9600, 01-02 English 9665, 
02-03 Spanish 6190, 03-04 Spanish 6150 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** RUSSIA. 7295, July 15 at 1100, presumed R. Sakha, Yakutsk in talk S5? below 
Oklahoma storm noise level of S8, but I do copy a mis-timesignal ending at 
1100:05.5; believe there were 5 mis-pips but maybe 6 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX 
LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1834 monitoring: confirmed Thursday July 14 
at 2100 on WRMI 13695, very good; strangely, Brother Scare theme played right 
up until 2100 instead of an ID. Once again, I keep listening at 2130-2200 for 
`Blues Radio International`. Bigsig makes wideband audio feasible. WOR 1834 NOT 
confirmed Thursday July 14 at 2330 since WBCQ 9330 is off (and so are 7490, 
5130). Next:
Fri 2130   WRMI 15770 to NE
Fri 2130.5 WRMI 13695 to NW
Fri 2330   WBCQ 9330v-CUSB to WSW
Sat 0630   HLR  6190-CUSB to SW

Wed 2330   WBCQ 9330v-CUSB to WSW
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7489.9-AM, Thu July 14 at 2330, WBCQ is OFF, so Broad Spectrum 
Radio`s weekly slot is missed. Also off is 9330v-CUSB when WORLD OF RADIO 
should have played. Nor anything audible on 5129.9-AM, but normally not on air 
at this time anyway. What`s wrong at Monticello? Recheck at  UT July 15, 
all still off, so also missing Blalock the Blaster on 9330. Next check at 0257 
UT July 15, all still off. Note that WTWW, WEWN, and WRMI have also been 
missing a lot lately (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 15610, 13830, 12050, July 14 at 2149, ALL three WEWN transmitters are 
OFF. Not sure if they ever came back, since tuned in too late to recheck before 
wholesale QSY to night channels: UT July 15 at  all of them have signed on: 
5810 & 11870 in Spanish, 11520 in English (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING 
DIGEST)

** U S A. 7504.997, July 15 at 0257, WRNO is close to on-frequency, S9+20, and 
no WBCQ to worry about splattering on 7490, since the latter is off (see 
separate report). 

Also, Ron Howard heard WRNO`s Chinese segment the night before at ``0355-0400*, 
Thursday, July 14. Out-of-date WRNO website does not list this program `Praise 
for Today`; in the past was scheduled for Thursday and Saturday 0300-0400`` 
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5085, UT Friday July 15 at 0455, WTWW-2 is off, so no more `Midnight 
[sic] in the Desert`. 5830 WTWW-1 is also off, nor on day frequency 9475 which 
sometimes runs at night. Recheck at 1058 UT July 15, 5830 is still off. Last 
signal heard from WTWW was dead air on 12105 at 1826 July 14 when both others 
were also off. July 15 at 1653 

[DX] VOA Radiogram, program 172, 16-17 July 2016. All modes are centered on 1500 Hz.

Hello friends,
Have your white laboratory coats ready, because VOA Radiogram will be very
experimental this weekend.
Battle of the 55-wpm modes. VOA Radiogram listener and contributor Mark Hirst 
in the UK suggests an experiment with the BPSK63F mode. His interest was 
generated by an article in the August QST magazine about the "flavors of PSK." 
It noted that BPSK63F, with its forward error correction, has a "remarkable 
ability to be decoded under poor conditions." 

During the early editions of VOA Radiogram, we did transmit BPSK63F a few 
times. This weekend, we'll do it again, in comparison with two other modes that 
also have speeds of about 55 words per minute: MFSK16 and Olivia 8-1000. The 
RSID for each mode will be followed by a 15-second tuning signal, in case you 
must manually change modes. More details below in the lineup. 

The return of Flmsg. This weekend's program will include on item in Flmsg
format. Flmsg is an add-on to Fldigi that allows the transmission and reception 
of message forms and formatted html documents.


If you don’t already have Fldigi, download it from
https://sourceforge.net/projects/fldigi/files/fldigi/ . Download Flmsg from
https://sourceforge.net/projects/fldigi/files/flmsg/ .

To make Flmsg work with Fldigi, in Fldigi: Configure > Misc > NBEMS > under
Reception of flmsg files, select Open with flmsg and Open in browser, and below 
that indicate where your Flmsg.exe file is located – probably somewhere in 
Program Files(x86). 
If all goes well, when the digital mode transmission concludes, Flmsg will open 
a new window of your web browser to display a formatted VOA Radiogram
transmission schedule. If your default browser is not open, Flmsg will open it 
for you. (If you are asked to ignore checksum error, select Yes.) 
If it doesn’t work the first time, or you don’t have Flmsg installed, you can
try this later from your recording. In Windows, an easy way to save the 
received document is to use the Microsoft Snipping
Tool.
Please send that image as an attachment to your reception report.

If you are an Android user, TIVAR does not accommodate Flmsg files. But a
similar app,dFlmsg,
as its name would indicate, does. Unlike TIVAR, which is receive-only, AndFlmsg 
encodes as well as decodes and is used by radio amateurs for message traffic. 
After the Flmsg is received, go to the index screen and press on the name of 
the file.

Here is the lineup for VOA Radiogram, program 172, 16-17 July 2016. All 
modesare centered on 1500 Hz.
