RADIO NYLAMP

This short wave peruvian station comes back to the wave after being  off the 
air for a long time.
In the past time this station was reported on .4177 Khz and 4299 Khz.
Now it can be heard on 4335 Khz with a good signal received here in Chimbote 
seaport.
This station broadcasts from 09.30 to 13.00 UTC and from 22.00 to 03.30 UTC.
Today I have telephoned to the General Manager Dr. J.J. Grandez and he told 
me that Radio Nylamp verifies correct Reception Reports with a QSL Letter.

Bogdan, there is no "CHLY" in Kitchener, nor any 96.3 there. Kingston has 
country station CFMK, but it never uses those calls ("Country 96" is the 
usual ID). So I have NO idea what this station, which you claim to have 
heard twice now, might actually be.

104.3 unIDs AUG 21 1956 EDT - 3 stations mixing here, one with oldies, 
another one with American country music and one in FF with ads, mentioned 
"La Saile" or something like that, probably a name of a city I`m not 
familiar with - nothing to do with Lasalle here in the south-western part 
of the Montreal island. In any event one of the english-speaking station 
was probably WOMG in Detroit, MI like other WTFDA`ers reported (I have no 
way to proove it at all though) and the FF station may have been CHGO in 
Val d`Or wich was widely heard in Ontario and New England. (Chiochiu-P-QC)
Your country station is almost certainly WFRG Utica, the most powerful FM 
signal in central New York. The oldies was likely
WOMC (not WOMG); "LaSalle" is a common place name in southeast Michigan, 
which was settled by the French (where d'ya
think "Detroit" came from?) before the English ever showed up there...

[HCDX] South Korea Foils Airlift of Radios to North

South Korea Foils Airlift of Radios to North
By JAMES BROOKE

HOLWON, South Korea, Aug. 22 - All in all, it was a perfect day for breaking
North Korea's information monopoly, and Dr. Norbert Vollertsen and his band
of volunteers were determined to take advantage of it. A brisk wind from the
south was driving clouds and, Dr. Vollertsen hoped, large balloons carrying
transistor radios north over the barbed wire of the demilitarized zone into
North Korea, a country closed off from the rest of the world.

But before the specially designed cargo balloons could be inflated with
helium, South Korean police officers clambered aboard the truck and subdued
Dr. Vollertsen, who is German, so roughly that he needed medical treatment.

"The law requires that organizers of rallies or demonstrations notify the
local police 48 hours in advance," said Kim Bu Wook, Kangwon Province's
police chief.. This was before a two-hour standoff degenerated into a
shoving match between riot policemen and members of a growing international
movement to break the half-century information monopoly that North Korea's
Communist government has maintained over its 22 million people.

Until 2000, South Korea's military sent thousands of balloons north from
border towns like this one, usually in the summer when the prevailing winds
were favorable. But under the so-called sunshine policy of reconciliation,
South Korea has tried to avoid irritating North Korea.

By blocking the private efforts to distribute radios, however, South Korea
has placed itself on a collision course with Washington. Over the summer,
both chambers of the United States Congress voted overwhelmingly to expand
the daily Korean-language broadcasting of Radio Free Asia to 24 hours from 4
hours.

By law North Koreans are allowed to have only radios and televisions that
are locked onto the state frequencies. Residents with illegal tuneable sets
can listen to Korean-language government broadcasts from China, Russia and
South Korea, a Christian group in South Korea, and two stations financed by
the United States government, Radio Free Asia and Voice of America.

But few North Koreans have access to normal radios and televisions, and
North Korean defectors say that information controls in North Korea are far
tighter than they were in Eastern Europe under the Communists.

South Korean officials said earlier this week that they would allow the
balloon launchings to go ahead. But the government apparently reversed that
decision to avoid provoking North Korea in anticipation of six-country
negotiations over North Korea's nuclear program, scheduled to start in
Beijing on Wednesday.

[HCDX] Fw: RCA RP-3710 Digital AM/FM Radio For $18.49

2003-08-24 Thread Thomas Giella KN4LF
  As promised I put the RCA RP-3710 digital AM/FM clock radio through the DX grinder 
last night. First of all sensitivity with the internal loop stick is surprisingly 
good, with very deep nulling possible off the ends of the loopstick. Selectivity is 
also very good. I tuned to the local 5 kw pest on 910 kc a few miles away and there 
was no splatter on 900 or 920 kc, I was amazed. With the internal loopstick antenna I 
was able to null out WBBR NYC and WWBR Bartow, FL on 1130kc and hear KWKC in 
Shreveport, LA. in the clear.
  I'm not interested in FM DX so only checked local stations and all is okay there and 
sound is very good on AM and FM from the tiny front mounted speaker. As it's meant to 
be an alarm clock first, there is no external antenna input or audio output for 
headphones. Also no provision for battery operation but it does have 9 volt battery 
back up for time and memories.
  The digital frequency readout is LCD and approximately 1" high, which is easy on my 
eyes as I'm half blind in one eye and deaf in the other? It also has a backlit 
display that is adjustable for brightness and 11 memories for AM and 11 for FM. It 
makes one wonder why RCA could put digital readout in an under $19 clock radio but GE 
could not do the same on it's Super Radio's I, II and III. 
  I also put the radio it on the 2 foot box loop and man did it ever come alive for 
stateside DX, when I tuned for resonance via inductive coupling. It heard everything 
that my FT-840 and 130 foot inverted L did, including KOA 850 kc at times through the 
fading and blanketing auroral conditions. 
  By the dimensions are 5 1/2" wide, 4" tall and 3" deep. See included photo.

the box and it feels stout and has pretty good sound.

Published 1400 UTC 03/08/24 


PAST 24 HOUR SOLAR, SPACE WEATHER AND GEOMAGNETIC INDICES- 


Coronal Hole #052 has been in a geo-effective (Earth facing) position since 03/08/21. 
It's high speed solar wind stream is the source of our ongoing geo-magnetic storm but 
it's influence continues to weaken and should end on 03/08/25. 

After a seemingly endless parade of geo-effective Coronal Holes in recent months, 
which is a normal occurrence on the down side of a solar cycle, Coronal Hole #053 
located in the Sun's southern hemisphere may not become geo-effective (Earth facing). 

If this verifies and we do not experience any unexpected geo-effective solar flares 
and attendant Coronal Mass Ejections (CME's) or Elevated Energetic Proton Flux events 
of >10 MeV (10+o), we should see some improvement in propagation conditions in the 
short term. 

The Ap index has been at severe geomagnetic storm levels, with a peak at 107. 

A previous 24 hour Ap index under 10 is good, under 7 for 72 hours consecutively is 
best for good high and latitude MF propagation conditions. 

The Kp index has been at strong geomagnetic levels, with a peak at 7. 

A previous 3 hour Kp index under 3 is good for mid latitude paths, under 2 for high 
latitude paths, 0-1 for 72 hours consecutively is best. 


GLOBAL HF 3000-3 KC PROPAGATION CONDITIONS EXPECTED- 

Low Latitude- Good
Mid Latitude- Good
High Latitude-Fair Becoming Good 


GLOBAL MF 300-3000 KC PROPAGATION CONDITIONS EXPECTED- 

Expect fair then becoming good "Northern Hemisphere" domestic propagation conditions 
on east-west paths. 

Expect poor then becoming fair domestic conditions on north "TO" south paths in the 
"Northern Hemisphere" out to approximately 1100 miles. 

Expect good then becoming fair domestic conditions on south "TO" north paths in the 
"Northern Hemisphere" out to approximately 1100 miles. 


Expect fair then becoming good "Southern Hemisphere" domestic propagation conditions 
on east-west paths. 



Expect good then becoming fair domestic conditions on north "TO" south paths in the 
"Southern Hemisphere" out to approximately 1100 miles+ 

Expect poor then becoming fair conditions on south "TO" north paths in the "Southern 
Hemisphere" out to approximately 1100 miles. 


"High latitude" Northern Hemisphere (TA) Trans Atlantic, (TI) Trans Indian, (TP) Trans 
Pacific and cross equatorial propagation conditions in excess of approximately 3200 
miles should be poor then becoming fair. 

"High latitude" Southern Hemisphere (TA) Trans Atlantic, (TI) Trans Indian, (TP) Trans 
Pacific and cross equatorial propagation conditions in excess of approximately 3200 
miles should be poor then becoming fair. 


"Mid latitude" Northern Hemisphere (TA) Trans Atlantic, (TI) Trans Indian, (TP) Trans 
Pacific and cross equatorial propagation conditions in excess of approximately 3200 
miles should be fair then becoming good. 

"Mid latitude" Southern Hemisphere (TA) Trans Atlantic, (TI) Trans Indian, (TP) Trans

Re: [HCDX] A question about Radio Marti

2003-08-24 Thread aurel chiochiu
I`m not kidding at all. I know "I" can hear them often even with the
telescopic antenna unextended at all into it`s socket on the Sangean 606
witht excellent strenghts.

But it isn`t the same way in Europe. I only heard once some Spanish on 6.03
MHz using the Umea`s Web-controlled shortwave receiver in Swden and it was
weak and with quie some QRM and not enough to ID it. If you are interesed in
using this great web-controlled receiver (you select a frequency and listen
to it as it is heard in Umea, Sweden and you DX on the Net !), just go to
http://194.165.225.6/sfors/. This web-controlled rx web-site has also a chat
where you can talk about DX strategies, targets, music, pets, or any other
subject while listening to the radio, with the other users. About 1 year and
a half before I started DX`ing, I was amazed by people I tought were from
another planet, that were from Sweden as well, from Uk, SPain, Finland and
other European countries that told me they heard my local CKAC Radio Média
on 730 kHz and other Quebec stations, New-Foundland stations like VOCM as
well as WABC and CHRQ from Alberta on 770 and Radio Vibracion 1470 from
Venezuela. At that my furthest MW catche was WSB in Atlanta, GA on 750 and I
tought anything further than Atlanta such as Savannah in SOUTHERN Georgia,
Florida, Latin America, Europe et al was impossible on MW because the
ionospheric absorptions were too high, compared to shortwave. How wrong I
was ! This site teached to me a lot about MW and SW DX`ing too (there were
some people tuning to SW pirates and tropical bands broadcasters, at that
time I thinked SW was merely for the international broadcasters because in
Romania when I was a little child in the appartaments with concrete ceilings
and walls with radios that had mostly extremely simple antennas - our main
shortwave radio at my parents house about 10 years ago when I listened to
Radio Free Europe, the BBC and things like that, was connceted to just a
random wire in strunggled along the library in our living room, so you can
imagine major international broadacsters was all I could hear). And at that
time, I didn`t even know how DX-unfriendly were the concrete buildings.

Well back to Radio Marti, you can try to get it at your home too. However,
I`m not kidding: here in Montreal I get them even with the telescopic whip
at minimum ito the socket, but in Europe they seem to be, at most, very
weak, if it was really them (the PWBR also list a religious domestic Chilean
broadcaster on 6029.6 kHz, Radio Santa Maria wich I even very tentatively
received here during the Radio Marti Monday Morning "silent period"). While
here in Montreal they are often extremely strong, I`m sure in Europe they
would be a nice DX catche ! Especially considering that 6030 is used, in the
morning at 6AM Romanian time in the winter by Radio Free Europe, so at the
best time for hearing Radio Marti on 6030 kHz in Europe due to sunrise
enhancement at the receiver end there is intense RFL co-channel QRM.

I also wonder if the cuban jammers can be picked up on a regular basis in
Europe.

Regards,
73 and good DX !
Bogdan

Nope. Nothing spectacular at all. As I said: Audible here with a wet
shoestring as an antenna. And I don't know any european DXer considering
the reception of Greenville as tough DX.

Yes.

[HCDX] Oddity last night --Radio Japan/RCI

2003-08-24 Thread Gloria R. Lalumia
On Saturday night 8/23 (here in NM), as usual, I was listening to Radio 
Japan on 6110, between 0500 and 0600 UTC.Right at the end of the 
broadcast something unusual occurred.  Radio Japan signed off, then on 
came the station ID for Radio Canada International!!! (Woman's voice, a 
little bit of their theme music).  Then, just as suddenly has it had 
come on, it went off and the frequency went dead, as usual.

Can anybody explain this??

Yes.Radio Japan on 6110 KHz is a relay transmission from Radio Canada's Sackville 
transmitters. Someone must not have thrown the swtiches to cut the other part of the 
transmission off.

[HCDX] 2 NEW Radio Sawa logs !!

2003-08-24 Thread aurel chiochiu
Hello to all of you !

This afternoon I managed to re-install the long-wire in our own back-yard wich I 
didn`t manage to do since I returned from the summer camp near Quebec City were my 
Sanyo radio broked (I taked it instead on our travels to New-Bruntswick and 
Île-Bizard) and managed to pull in this while sitting on our table in the back-yard, 
on the patio:

12010 PHILLIPINES, Radio Sawa via VOA AUG 24 2137-2154 - playing "You Got It (The 
Right Stuff)" by New Kids on the Block from 1988 followed by a jingle featuring short 
bits of AA and international pops with mention of "Arabia Saudia", followed by an 
Arabic pop tune, then "Sawa" jingle followed by Jennifer Lopez - Glad, then Radio Sawa 
jingle followed by nx, then Arabic pops presented by a male announcer. Fair to very 
good reception, //12040 wich had only poor-fair reception. Both NEW ! (Chiochiu-QC)

12050 EGYPT, Egyptian Radiom, Kafr Silîm-Abis AUG 24 2155 - Only PRESUMED ! (darn I 
could have gotten an ID if that stupid Sangean with it`s weak batteries didn`t turned 
off) with traditionnal AA song followed by apparent nx. Didn`t even know if they had 
pips and ID at the top of the hour. Very, very good reception and would have been new 
for me. (Chiochiu-QC)

Bogdan Alexandru Chiochiu
Sangean 606 rx w/long-wire antenna in the back-yard, DX`ing from a table on our patio

I did read in the IDXD bulletin of NRC that Radio Sawa is a radio station run by the 
Americans in Iraq who program a mixture of new Arabic pop songs and modern 
international pop music, like Jennifer Lopez, but I didn`t believe I will hear them 
someday. My Sangean 606 is really sensitive and selectif on SW, unlike my first SW 
radio I did got as a gift for my 13 years in 2000, a poor Realistic DX-351 multi-band 
radio wich aside from not having good gain at all for receptions of SW broadacsters 
below the "good" level of signal, had the selectivity so poor, that I sometimes 
thought I did not even had a filter. It also overloaded very easily on the extremely 
strong major international broadcast signal like the VOA.

I also noted Medi Un on 9575 with traditionnal Arabic music at good level with 
moderate splatter from Africa Numéro Un on 9580 at around 2132 UTC before I came 
accros the Radio Sawa outlets. And before DX`ing Medi Un, I heard tentatively the 
Voice of the Islamic Republic of Iran on 11885 and CHU on both 3330 and 7335 with poor 
to fair signals, so they are back to full-power. Unfortunatly, I can`t DX anymore now 
because all the batteries we have are weak and the sound on my Sangean is 
distortionated and often it witches off by it`s self with a reverse 3 message (E) for 
Error and I can`t turned it on for minutes in a row. This is sad, because I found a 
power supply on our  patio where I connected a portable radio with microphone tape 
recorder and managed to record a very little bit of the 12010 Radio Sawa program until 
the radio switched off by it`s self ! I also managed to record a traditionnal Arabic 
tune from presumably Egyptian Radio on 12050, but the Sangean 606 switched off toward 
the end of the song and now just a song out of nowhere doesn`t make any sense on a 
tape that absolutely need to contain station IDs from the signals I hear.
