[HCDX] BOLIVIA: Radio Pio XII is off air
Hi! Past October 15, a explosion destroyed the Radio Pio XII`s transmitter site in Siglo XX. Down, the information about the illegal act. I send the article in spanish because I haven`t a good translating program. Sorry. 73's 55's Arnaldo Slaen RED DE SOLIDARIDAD INTERNACIONAL - AMARC - ALERTA - 15/10/03 - La emisora Radio Pio XII de la ciudad de Oruro sufrió un atentado con explosivos en la tarde de ayer. Su planta trasmisora y la de Televisión Universitaria fueron destruidas completamente y actualmente se encuentran sin poder desarrollar su trabajo informativo. Este atentado se da en el marco de sistemáticas amenazas telefónicas contra radialistas de emisoras comunitarias de Oruro, Cochabamba y La Paz asociadas a ERBOL (Escuelas Radiofónicas de Bolivia). La Paz, 15 de octubre de 2003 Señores Comisión Interamericana de Derechos Humanos de la OEA Washington Ref: Denuncia A las 18.05 horas la planta de transmisión ubicada en un cerro cercano a la ciudad de Oruro, donde hay otras antenas de radioemisoras y canales de televisión, fue destruida totalmente por un explosivo. Efraín Mamani, sereno de la planta, contó que dos personas encapuchadas le obligaron a salir de su habitación, le maniataron para que pueda revelar la caseta de transmisión del canal de televisión universitaria y de Radio Pio XII. El prefecto Ivo Arias, del gobernante Movimiento de la Izquierda Revolucionaria (MIR), reprochó el acto y señaló que desconocía el hecho. Ante esa respuesta, pobladores de Oruro y los trabajadores de Pio XII exigieron a la autoridad conformar una comisión, integrada por la Policía Técnica Judicial y un fiscal, para verificar in situ el atentado criminal perpetrado para silenciar la emisora católica, que es una de las instituciones emblemáticas de la resistencia contra la dictadura. La comisión y los pobladores constataron con sorpresa que la onda expansiva del explosivo fue profesionalmente manipulada que sólo afectó el diámetro en el que está ubicada la planta de transmisión. Según relató el sereno, horas antes del atentado vio a dos policías uniformados que merodeaban la zona. Este atentado criminal sucede en un contexto de crisis social y política que afecta al gobierno de Gonzalo Sánchez de Lozada desde hace un mes y luego de una masacre perpetrada por el Ejército con el resultado trágico de 70 muertos y más de doscientas personas heridas. A esto se suman las acusaciones infundadas que fueron lanzadas por funcionarios de gobierno con el fin de mostrar a Radio Pio XII como si hubiera cometido el delito de sedición al cumplir con su deber de informar sobre todos los hechos respecto a la masacre sucedida entre el 11, 12 y 13 de octubre en la ciudad de El Alto. Las otras dos radios de Pio XII, localizadas en Siglo XX (Potosí) y la ciudad de Cochabamba, también fueron amenazadas con términos que advertían una posible intervención militar en represalia a las informaciones que difundía en cumplimiento de los principios periodísticos. En estos días de crisis política, cuyo desenlace es aún incierto, también sufrieron amenazas otras estaciones de comunicación como Radio Televisión Popular (RTP), el Canal 36, radio Wayna Tambo y Pachamama de la ciudad de El Alto, además de otras estaciones diseminadas en todo el territorio boliviano. Las amenazas cobardes fueron articuladas con la clara intención de silenciar los espacios de información y de terminar con el sistema democrático, cuya base jurídico-filosófica descansa en la libertad de expresión.

[HCDX] Explosión en radio Pio XXII
Explosión en emisora de radio La emisora de radio Pio XXII de Oruro, 230 kilómetros al sur de La Paz, sufrió un atentado con explosivos en los equipos de transmisión, informó la Confederación de Trabajadores de la Prensa. Los explosivos fueron colocados en las antenas de transmisión de la radio, que forma parte de la red Erbol, una de las más importantes de país, situadas en un cerro cercano a la emisora, cuando transmitían los enfrentamientos que protagonizaban en esta ciudad agentes de policía y estudiantes universitarios. Primero atentaron contra la antena del canal de televisión de Canal Trece y a los diez minutos pusieron otro explosivo en nuestra caseta, dijo el jefe de prensa de Radio Pio XII, Abenor Alfaro.

[HCDX] Translation of information on Radio Pio XII (some text was left out)
Dear all: Here's my attempt at translating the text previously sent by our friend Arnaldo Slaen. Please forgive any errors. Elmer Escoto San Pedro Sula, Honduras *** INTERNATIONAL SOLIDARITY NET - AMARC - ALERT - 15/10/03 Radio Pio XII from the city of Oruro [sic] suffered an attack with explosives yesterday afternoon. Its transmitter site and that of University Television have been completely destroyed and are currently unable to carry their informative work. This action occurred amongst systematic threats via telephone against community media affiliated to ERBOL (Escuelas Radiofónicas de Bolivia) [Bolivian Redio Schools] in Oruro, Cochabamba and La Paz. Then follows a letter to the Inter-American Human Rights Comission of the Organization of American States. La Paz, October 15, 2003 Sirs Inter-AmericanComisión Human Rights Comission of the OAS Washington Ref: Indictment At 18.05 hours the transmitting plant located on a hill near the city of Oruro, where other radio and TV-station antennas are installed, was completely destroyed by explosives. Efraín Mamani, the plant's watchman, told that two camouflaged men forced him out of his quarters, tied him and made him reveal the location of the transmitter house of the university television channel and Radio Pio XII. Representative Ivo Arias, of the governing Left-wing Revolutionary Movement [in spanish, Movimiento de la Izquierda Revolucionaria (MIR)], condemned the attack and said he had no knowledge of the fact. Faced with that answer, dwellers of Oruro and the workers of Pio XII demanded that a comission be formed with members of the Technical Courthouse Police and a counsel, to verify 'in situ' about this criminal attack aimed at silencing the catholic broadcaster, which is one of the emblematical institutions of resistance against dictatorship. The comission and the dwellers were surprised to learn that the explosion was so professionally controlled that it damaged only the close perimeter of the transmitter site. According to the watchman, a few hours before the attack he saw two men in police uniforms wandering about that area. [cut text] The other two stations of Pio XII, located in Siglo XX (Potosi province) and in the city of Cochabamba were also menaced in terms that made it clear they could be the target of military actions in retaliation for the information they are broadcasting in adherence to the principles of journalism. In these days of political unrest, other stations have also been menaced, for instance, Radio Televisión Popular (RTP), Channel 36, Radio Wayna Tambo y Pachamama in the city of El Alto, as well as other stations throughout the whole bolivian territory. These cowardly menaces clearly intend to shut down the informative programs and to put an end to the democratic system, whose legal-philosophical bases rests on the principle of freedom of speech.

RE: [HCDX] DX LOG-PHILIPPINES
Hi Patrick, Interesting that you should mention DX on the lower half of the band. This morning I was tuning briefly around 1400 UTC before leaving for work, and noticed hets below about 1000 kHz, but none above. I assumed these were the stronger JJ's, but perhaps they were from the Philippines also, or Taiwan on 738 (I had presumed this was the usual Papeete signal).

[HCDX] Propagation Outlook
Coronal Hole #63 arrived with a bang approximately 72 hours. It created a major geomagnetic storm that has only now begun to wane. At it's peak the Kp reached 7 which is major storm level and the Ap reached 106 which is at severe storm level. Though recent indices have fallen to a Kp-3 which is unsettled and a Kp-4 which is active, there is a fair chance that minor Kp-5 to moderate Kp-6 geomagnetic storm conditions may return again at any time and last for another 24-48 hours.

[HCDX] Friday night BOG log !
I didn't have much time, but I did manage to sneek out for a short time tonight backpacking the Palstar R-30 to a local park and laying out a beverage on ground (BOG) antenna. This time I brought my MFJ-1026 but had left the coax jumper at home ( Doh ! ), and then while stringing out the wire, my speaker wire pigtail broke 100 ft from the end. Not knowing initially where it had broken, I stopped pulling. so that left me with 100 ft of wire still on the spool, thus I only used 500 ft tonight. This is layed in a field of tall grass. I've got the MFJ-1026 and Palstar R-30 individually wrapped in bubble wrap, then taped together. That fits nicely in the bottom of my normal sized backpack. The plan (when I get the bugs worked out) is to only have to unzip the top of the pack, hook up the wire, turn on the radio, and be DXing. Minimal setup, minimal take down. I've got both the MFJ and Palstar running off the same external 12v rechargable battery, and when I get a simple 12v to 9v converter built, I'll be running my tape recorder off that too. My antenna is a 500 ft spool of stranded 14g wire with 200 ft of speaker wire pigtailed on the end of that (stretches too easily though, and breaks! ). I put the spool on a T made from water pipe that makes up my cable winder. I leave a 10 inch piece sticking out the ground so all I have to do is mount the T on that, slide the spool on, place a cap to hold on the spool, and walk it out. Winding it up is a snap using a wooden handle with a sawed off screw on the end that I stick in one of the holes on the spool. I can easily wind up the antenna at 100 ft per minute. The wire gets hidden in the woods (pretty heavy to carry each time), the pipe is dissasembled and goes in the pack. Only a short pipe sticking out of the ground stays at the DX site. Anyway, either the band was flat today, or I just got out there too early (7pm). No Mexican or Cubans heard at all, although as I was driving home, XEX was audible on 730khz using the car radio. First impressions with this antenna can be deceiving. At home, with omni directional antennas, the band is alive with interferring stations, channels roaring with a jumble of stations comming in from everywhere. I don't hear that with the BOG. It's deceiving because as you tune across the band, stations that normally are very loud, are quite weak, then suddenly BOOM, you tune across a loud station, but it's not a powerhouse KDKA, or WSM, it's WLOC Monfordville, KY, or WDHP Frederiksted, US Virgin Islands -this antenna is very directional ! Especially at the top end of the band. So here's tonight's log: Palstar R-30, 500ft BOG aimed south east. 1150khz WLOC Monfordville, KY 10.17.03 1920cdt VG with quick ident. JW-WI 1160khz WAMB Donelson, TN 10.17.03 1915cdt VG with Lions HSFB. JW-WI 1180khz WVLZ Knowxville, TN 10/17.03 1910cdt VG with Bulldogs HSFB. JW-WI 1650khz KDNZ Cedar Falls, IA 10.17.03 1900cdt VG with local news and wx. JW-WI 1670khz WRNC Warner Robbins, GA 10.17.03 1905 cdt E all alone with gospel prog. JW-WI I possibly heard PJB Bonaire on 800khz tonight with a long monolog in spanish, sounded like religious content. I'll be trying again the next few nights, so we'll see what conditions bring ! 73, John Wilke WB9UAI Milwaukee, WI ---[Start Commercial]- World Radio TV Handbook 2004 is coming out!
