Re: [HCDX] AUSTRALIA: ABC announces ambitious expansion

The Australian Broadcasting Corp. has announced ambitious 
international expansion plans, which initially focus on launching TV 
and radio services in China and India, followed by a staged rollout 
to the Middle East, Latin America and Europe and North America, 
managing director Mark Scott said Wednesday night.


The ABC currently operates the Australia Television network and 
Radio Australia, with AUS$34 million ($30.6 million) per year in 
government funding. Australia Television broadcasts in 44 countries 
in Asia Pacific, reaching over 22 million homes, while Radio 
Australia has a network of 15 FM stations in almost every Pacific 
capital, and Cambodia and Laos, runs a digital radio service in 
Singapore, and broadcasts on shortwave in eight Asian languages.


Question: Are the Australian  regional shortwave outlets (like VLM4 
if I remember the call correctly) still on the 60 or 49 meter bands? 
I haven't heard one in many years..

Re: [HCDX] WNNZ on 640 is using daytime pattern

Warm greetings to all of you and season's greetings !

WNNZ (Westfield, MA) is using daytime power on 
640. I can barely null it off the back of my 
Sanyo MCD-S830's ferrite bar loop to pick up the 
Toronto station or something else.


They are semi-local like, at least as strong as 
WVMT is on 620 from Burlington, VT.


They are relaying NPR, I just heard an ID for 
WFCR 88.5 which it simulcasts. A quick research 
over Google relayed that is indeed WNNZ and not 
a new semi-local nightmare. An aurora should 
take care of this guys even on daytime power, 
since their groundwave signal is THRESHOLD and 
aurora leaves only groundwave from domestics and 
skywave from southern domestics, Caribbeans and Latins.


I guess the chief engineer of WNNZ is buzy on New Year's Eve.

As far as the px content goes, they talk about 
the issues concerning the Israel - Palestinian conflict among other items !


If anyone in Europe needs WNNZ-640 or MA as a 
state (since WBZ-1030 is beaming away from 
Europe at night) or, if your are like me a 
foreign DXer with some limited short-skip DXing too, go, get that one.


A few days ago, it's CFRA-580 who forgot their daytime rig one...


Really? I missed it.



May the good DX bless your ears and fullfill your New Year's Eve party !
Bogdan Chiochiu in Pierrefonds / Montreal, QC
Btw.: Maybe it can reach Venezuela with YVQO 
Unión Radio nulled out; YVQO is a regular 
during, at least, semi-auroral condx; otherwise 
WNNZ, CFYR and CMBC are jamming the channel. It 
appears that even Guadeloupe would be possible 
once again on 640 during the right condx...

Yes I remember when all of my mail was opened up before I got it for 
about 6 months. My mom was applying for a job with Nasa & I was 
listening to shortwave stations all over the world (including Radio 
Moscow) back in the 1970's & 80's. Have never been in the military 
but I did send out a lot of signal reports.

Is there any way to find out where a TIS or HAR station is located? 
Theres one on 16 something (playing NOAA weather radio) that drowns 
out the HAR stations on the freeway in the Houston TX area. I'd like 
to complain about the interference!

I used to listen to the English preaching on 800khz (with a loop to 
null XEROK) until they dropped to 50kw. Can't hear them at all in the 
Houston Tx area. Even have some QSL cards from the station.

That program was The Open Forum with Dr. Harold Camping. I've heard 
it many times on shortwave (from WYFR) here in the US.

I´m using "AD-AWARE 6.0" to remove the "spyware" from my computer - your

I've found Spybot Search & Destroy to be better than Ad Aware & yes I used

I started around 1974 with a portable National Panisonic then graduated to 
several  (40's & 50's era) "boatanchor" vacuum tube sets which is what I 
prefer to use today. Yep. BA's are the best in my opinion!
