[DX] SDXL:n naisjaostoa perustamaan
Hei, Olettehan kaikki huomanneet oheisen jutun Radiomaailmassa 10/2011? Ajatuksena on mm. kehitellä mukavaa oheistoimintaa seuralaisille DX-kokousten ja -tapaamisten asiapitoisten sessioiden ajaksi. Kannatan lämpimästi Eijan ideaa :-). Terv: KSK * SDXL:n NAISJAOSTOA PERUSTAMAAN SDXL:oon ollaan perustamassa naisjaostoa, jonka tarkoituksena on koota DX-kuuntelijoiden puolisot ja elämänkumppanit yhteen. Idea jaostosta syntyi EDXC:n kokouksessa Bulgariassa elokuussa. Tarkoitus on, että jaosto toimii SDXL:n yhtenä alatyöryhmänä. Naisjaoston perustava kokous tullaan pitämään erikseen sovittavana ajankohtana, kun ryhmä halukkaista jaostolaisista saadaan kokoon. Naisjaoston toimintatapa ja -suunnitelma laaditaan perustavassa kokouksessa. Toistaiseksi yhteyshenkilönä toimii Eija Parikka Vantaalta. Kaikki asiasta kiinnostuneet ottakaapa yhteyttä!

[HCDX] BBG Broadcasts Reach Record Audiences
Look my shack :http://zlgr.multiply.com/photos/album/28 BBG Broadcasts Reach Record Audiences http://www.bbg.gov/pressroom/press- releases/BBG_Broadcasts_Reach_Record_Audiences.html November 15, 2011 | Washington, D.C. Email Print (WASHINGTON, D.C.-November 15, 2011) U.S. government funded international broadcasters reached an estimated 187 million people every week in 2011, an increase of 22 million from last year's figure, according to new audience data being made public by the Broadcasting Board of Governors. We are pleased that people the world over are responding in unprecedented numbers to our high-quality journalism and active audience engagement, said BBG Chairman Walter Isaacson. The ability of our broadcasters to inform, engage and connect audiences through traditional and social media alike lie behind these impressive results and will be essential to driving future audience reach and impact. The record numbers, released in the BBG Performance and Accountability Report (PAR), measure the combined audience of the Voice of America (VOA), Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL), Radio and TV Marti', Radio Free Asia (RFA) and the Middle East Broadcasting Networks (Alhurra TV and Radio Sawa). The report details impact on audiences around the globe including people in the world´s most repressive media and political environments. The BBG´s PAR follows on the heels of BBG´s latest strategic plan, Impact through Innovation and Integration, which sets an over-arching objective of making BBG the world´s leading international news agency working to foster freedom and democracy with the goal of reaching 216 million people weekly by 2016. This year there were significant audience increases in Afghanistan, where RFE/RL and VOA together reach 75% of adults weekly; in Egypt, where Alhurra TV doubled its weekly audience to 15% in tandem with the Arab Spring; and in Indonesia, where VOA´s aggressive affiliate strategy has boosted weekly audiences to some 38 million adults. Audiences in many other strategically relevant countries held strong. In Nigeria, VOA retains its position as a news source of record with 23 million weekly listeners. In Burma, VOA and RFA reach 26% and 24% of adults, respectively, amounting to a weekly audience of 10 million. Audience declines took place notably in Iran, where the government continues aggressive jamming of every BBG transmission platform, including satellite uplink jamming; and Pakistan, where the media market is increasingly fragmented and use of radio is declining. While radio remains the BBG´s number one media platform, reaching 106 million people per week, television´s growth puts it at 97 million people. The Internet audience was approximately 10 million, with the largest online audiences measured in Iraq, Russia, Indonesia, Egypt and Iran. * Download 2011 Performance and Accountability Report (PDF) * BBG 2011 Audience Overview (PDF) * BBG Research Methodology (PDF) Standard rig : ICOM R75 / 2x16 V / m@h40 heads Sennheiser Please read and distribute this 15 year research article http://tinyurl.com/5vzg7e Please read my article on SINPO at http://tinyurl.com/yt7qjd http://zlgr.multiply.com (radio monitoring site plus audio clips ) MAIN SITE http://www.delicious.com/gr_greek1/@zach (all mypages !!)

[HCDX] Glenn Hauser logs November 19-20, 2011
** ANGUILLA [and non]. 11775, Nov 20 at 1407, heavy QRM atop PMS making ripple SAH; my first guess was Persian. Nothing in HFCC to account for this, of course, since all India registrations are still missing as of Nov 18, but Aoki shows AIR Nepali, 1330-1430, 250 kW, 25 degrees via Panaji, GOA (also jammed Tibetan at 1215-1315). Despite Caribbean Beacon being aimed 320 degrees so DGS could hear himself in Los Ángeles (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CHINA. Firedrake Nov 19, before 2400: 11500, poor at 2346; none in the 10s, 12s 13920, good at 2346 14700, very poor at 2343 14970, very good with flutter at 2344 15970, very good with flutter at 2344 16100, fair at 2344 16700, fair at 2344 16980, fair at 2344 17170, fair at 2345 Nov 20, before 1400: 9200, fair at 1352 before 1500: 12600, very poor at 1455, also CW QRM; none higher 12230, poor at 1455 9200, fair at 1456; none in the 11s, 10s, 8s, 7s (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** COSTA RICA [and non]. 17800, Sunday Nov 20 at 1517, REE big signal in fútbol discussion, about one second behind weaker // 17755 direct, and strong // 17595 direct from SPAIN. Cariari relay is supposed to be on 17850! Must have punched the wrong frequency starting at 1400; still 17800 at 1553. Fortunately, no harm done so far, as Bulgaria`s registrations on 17800 for 14-15 AM and 14-15 DRM are wooden. But it will be a big problem at 18-19, when DW Hausa is on via MADAGASCAR. 1812 check: they`ve fixed it by now, with REE back on 17850 and DW in the clear on 17800, whew (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA [and non]. 15230, Nov 19 at 2342, RHC in Brazilian Portuguese with short/long path echo, i.e. a 38-megameter trip round the globe. 13690, Nov 19 at 2357 I tune in early enough to catch the RHC frequency announcement, picking a channel that is not likely to be cut off in the middle of it, while // 13640 might be as the European service is closing: only ones given are ``13640, 13690, 11840, 9540, 9710, 5040``. At 2358 I quickly verified which 31m channels were really on the air: 9810, 9740, 9710, and NOT 9540 which appears erroneously on evening schedules, while really just mornings. 9740 was strongest and 9710 was the first to go off. So they`re still totally confused. Then at UT Nov 20 I switch to 5040, and it is opening in English, unlike 24 hours earlier when it was Creole; so apparently English as in new schedule is still supposed to be at 00-01 if the tapes aren`t mixed up. 13750, Nov 20 at 1357, this Sunday I tune in early enough to tell whether RHC is colliding with VOA Spanish until 1400: Yes, VOA barely audible underneath huge RHC // 13675 and 13780. There is no reason whatsoever for RHC to run 13750 on Sundays only --- it was originally for the Venezuelan relay which has been gone for five months and only sporadically before that. The 13750 transmitter is apparently the same one used weekdays on 9850, now missing. At 1404, 13750 dead air, about to turn off? No, at 1436 it`s remodulating as `En Contacto` #47 for 2011y is starting its new time until 1450 // 13670, 13780, et al., but 9850 still missing. Meanwhile, by 1411, weaker 9540 was audible in the clear, after being blown away by WHRI during the previous hour Sundays only. Pedro Sedano`s monthly DX report from Zaragoza, Spain was featured, lamenting that two more stations have (almost) dropped Spanish on SW: LV de Grecia except for 5 minutes a week [when??, due to no longer relaying R. Filia], and Bible Voice Broadcasting which used to have a Sunday semihour via Germany [no loss there]. He also referred to B-11 as having started on Oct 25 --- no, it was Oct 30, always the last Sunday of October, which in 2009y was indeed Oct 25. BTW, 13750 had some ACI from Cuba`s CRI relay on 13740 when it was playing music, despite perpetual undermodulation (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** EGYPT [and non]. 13580, Nov 20 at 1451, big varying tones and noise vs VOA Kurdish, 250 kW, 150 degrees from Wertachtal, GERMANY. This could easily be taken for jamming, but I think it must be R. Cairo ``warming up`` prior to 15-16 Albanian service, 250 kW, 315 degrees from Abis, also USward. VOA went off at 1459, leaving the tones, flutter and CODAR, and at 1459:40 the tones and other noise stopped abruptly, proving they had been deliberately transmitted, and unintelligible talk started, deficient low modulation, presumably Albanian.

One mistake on a date: not Nov 19 but 20 for this part about ** U S A: Checked again Sunday Nov 20 at 1841, 15420 has large S9+20 open carrier, which is more than usual from WBCQ, hardly reduced, and without modulation you would not realize it`s normally USB. No sign of BBC now, since in B-11 it`s not scheduled on 15420 after 1800 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ---[Start Commercial]- Order your WRTH 2011: http://www.hard-core-dx.com/redirect2.php?id=wrth2011 ---[End Commercial]--- Hard-Core-DX mailing list Hard-Core-DX@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/hard-core-dx http://www.hard-core-dx.com/ ___ THE INFORMATION IN THIS ARTICLE IS FREE.

Scott, The only R. Rossii on 5930 now is Monchegorsk in NW Russia. See HFCC, Aoki. In B-seasons, Pet/Kam switches to 6075. Wasn`t it the other way round in A-season when you (?) had 5930 as Monchegorsk but it was really Pet/Kam, with Monchegorsk at midday? Now the path should be dark enough. 73, Glenn Hauser --- On Sun, 11/20/11, Scott R. Barbour Jr. srbjr...@yahoo.com wrote: 5940 RUSSIA R.

[HCDX] Glenn Hauser logs November 20-21, 2011
** ARGENTINA. 15345.0+, Nov 20 at 2159, R. Nacional has now escaped collision with Morocco as the latter unexpectedly shifted yesterday to 15349.5 and then 15349.1. LRA has heavy flutter unlike Morocco, and a big 4+kHz het between them now allows separation by side-tuning (or tighter selectivity; LRA is closer to 15345 than IMM is to 15349). Song in progress keeps playing thru accurate auto-timesignal at 2200. Not totally in the clear until IMM cuts off around 2215 rather than nominal 2200, and then LRA continues into the evening, but copy is tough with all the flutter and only fair signal (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** AUSTRALIA [non]. 15240, Nov 20 at 2225, items about Piltdown Man hoax, refers to ``on the right side of this picture``, as if this were television --- maybe it is! RA has been caught relaying ABC TV news channel soundtrack before; it`s ``On This Day`` in history feature, also about release of the Beatles` White Album, Dr. John RB singer born in 1940y. This doesn`t seem right to me for Nov 20 --- sure enough, Googling quickly finds Dr John was born on Nov 21: ``Malcolm John Mac Rebennack, Jr. (born November 21, 1940),`` http://www.rhythmandtheblues.org.uk/public/shadesartists/drjohn.htm I`ve got news for you Downunderites: it may be Nov 21 where you are, but at 2225 UT, it`s still Nov 20 from America to western Europe! So hold off on the historical advances, please. Back to business: 15240 audio quality doesn`t sound like Shepparton but is putting in a much better signal than Shep // 15515, furthermore not synchronized. HFCC B-11 shows nothing at this hour for RA from anywhere --- that`s because the ChiCom forbid RA or any other station from including relays via vile breakaway province Taiwan in HFCC. Aoki is under no such political restrixions: ``15240 R. AUSTRALIA 2200-2330 1234567 English 100 205 Tainan TWN 12010E 2302N ABC b11``. Then at 00-08 on 15240 it really is Shepparton at 30 degrees (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** BRAZIL. 15190, Nov 20 at 2311, R. Inconfidência is playing the 2nd movement from Beethoven's Pathétique piano sonata, a.k.a. the theme music for `Adventures in Good Music` with the late Karl Haas. Always nice to hear classical on SW, but the signal is pretty rough with flutter, like Argentina on 15345+. Perhaps this is a regular classical program on Sundays (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CHINA. Firedrake Nov 20, before 2400: 11500, very poor with flutter at 2336 12600, fair at 2338 12670, fair at 2338 13970, very poor with het at 2340 14700, fair with flutter at 2340; none in the 15s 16980, fair at 2343; none in the 17s, 18s (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA. 11840, Nov 20 at 2337, RHC is about 2 minutes into this week`s `En Contacto` as heard earlier entirely at 1436-1450, i.e. started at 2335 this Sunday, unlike 2345 last Sunday. So amend the schedules to tune in by 2335 in case they repeat the earlier start. Of course :35 past whatever hour should be nominal but they have previously run it later during this program block, and even omitted it from published schedules (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA [non]. 7405, Nov 20 at 2219, rock song in English, what`s this? O, just R. Martí since it`s // 9565 tho 7405 jamming is lite if at all, unlike an hour later (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** EGYPT [and non]. 9365+, Nov 20 at 2323, very distorted spur from something, soon matched to even more distorted strong signal from R. Cairo Arabic on 9305. 9365 makes a scratchy sound upon WTJC 9370, undermodulated. Tsk2, but serves them right for putting out their own nasty spurs periodically. Could not hear one matching 60 kHz lower around 9345 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** GREECE. 15650, Nov 20 at 2315, Greek music on VG signal, then Greek announcement from VOG. No flutter from here, unlike BRAZIL on 15190, KUWAIT on 17550, qq.vv. The VOG sked from DX Mix News Nov 11 in DXLD 11-46 shows 15650 going off at 2250, after a 105 degree beam to ME from 1800. Yet it was much better than // 9420 axually aimed 323 degrees USward before and after 2300. 15650 supposedly switches to 15630 between 2250 and 2300 but stays on the 105 antenna opposite us (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** GUAM. 15320, UT Sunday Nov 20 at 2238, AWR Wavescan is underway from KSDA, better than we can usually hear it from WRMI where it is produced, furthermore with several repeats just deleted in curtailed 9955 schedule. Jeff White is reading script by Adrian Peterson about the first Radio Free Asia in 1951-1953, transmitted from Philippines, with callsigns ``dee zed`` this and that. Note, Jeff, that the Filipinos say ``zee`` like their former colonial masters, Americans. Then another story about the early AFRS; Luigi Cobisi`s report from Europe; and DX report from Bangladesh voiced by Salahuddin Dolar; finally some fill music from Alaska about the Bering land
