You surely know my interest in Malaysian music. But you possibly dont kow
that
on 80s I was a fan of hard music .
How I got contained with hard rock is here out of the question but I will just
a
little history of rock music stations Thessaloniki in only one paragraph. .
The first radio station in town is Rock Radio on 104.7 mHz from Joe Joe
Vaccaros. This station started in mid 90s with light and easy rocks Later
near
to the end of 90s 1055 rock has been started on the freq of 105.5 MHz . Tha
later
station is located opposite to FM 100 same street with ERA 958 (close to
the
International Trade fair)
Since last year 1055 added a wild brother on 106.5 under the name
Extreme
or 1055 Extreme Edition . This station airs only hard core music such as
heavy
metal hard rock , gothic death speed thrash symphonic etc
This year with the closure of Mythos FM 93.4 on Feb 13 a rock bar named
Woodstock
Bar, in the western part of the citys centre , took the facilities of Mythos
(including their live stream more recently ) and refurbished it under the
name
ProckA FM (proka means big nail notice the capitals !). The new station
includes
many kinds of the rock scene as old hard rocks , heavy metal , etc but still
is
lighter than Xtreme .
Below you will read a lot of fun due to the amateurish technical approach
of both
stations together with program updates
Extreme in its start was with a very bad and muddy audio (read: equalization
curve )
comparing to its brother 1055 and for a very lengthy time
This April ProckA was still experimenting with their audio fidelity and
modulation .
Their volume was very low (more than 15 db sometimes comparing to other
stations )
and very very trebly . And also during May /June they had connection
problems
(namely loss of a channel !!)
On May Extreme separated from ProckA due to their thrash program and added
punk
rock and some Greek alternative rocks and metals . But also Extreme had
problems
in their transmissions . First with some gaps in their playbacks up to 1
minute
(!!) in June July And on mid August changing to monophonic audio . That
means for
me as killing their music
And another funny now with ProckA FM. As noticed above ProckA is held by a
bar and
located inside this bar. Visiting them mid August on the noon I found the
bar
closed, As a neighbor told me the bar opens on evenings / nights . That means
ProckA uses play list most of the day Found that there is live program
everyday
after 2000 till 0100 or 0200 .
Procka meanwhile , was very fast on May top respond to messages . IN just 2
minutes they could reply . BUt more recently they could respond to music
requests
very late. I have two examples . The first on the start of September was 45
minutes
after the call (requested a song from their advert )and the second never (a
song from
two groups that possibly they dont have as KIz and Great Kat)!
and the audio gaps in ProckA still continue . The bronlem seems tobe mainly
from
their computers ...
As for Xtreme it is sure they do play listing
Both stations during late nights (as eg after 00 or 01 ) calm their music .
ProckA
plays classical rocks and ballads while Xtreme plays hard rocks or hard
ballads
Advertising in both stations is minimal
ProckA has about 6 adverts played in between 2-3 songs which is for me quite
annoying. Two self adverts and two adverts for the bar.
Extreme has only 4-5 adverts played on 30 min intervals. One of them is the
craziest advert heard ever. There are two short ID s (ca 5 secs ) played
between 1-2
songs
MY verdict : ProckA gets a higher rate than Xtreme 7.5 vs 5 for two
reasons :
The later killed stereophony and plays sometimes too hard music (thrash
gothic )
that gets me quite tired but
.not always! I can add a third reason as in
my
house its signal is low and has strong QRM from the western part of the city.
ProckA can be heard in the intenet via this link
http://184.154.202.243:8042/listen.pls
(the stream from Mythos FM )
There is also a web page (only for sending messages ) and a page in Facebook
https://www.facebook.com/pages/Procka-FM-934/119475064898190?ref=br_tf
Unfortunately Extreme has not a stream.
Unfortunate update: Since 17th of November ProckA has been replaced by the
Synaspismos (left party) station IN red with mostly political content. But
ProckA
continues to transmit via internet only in the above link

** BANGLADESH [non]. 15505, Nov 20 at 1358, checking for BB, but a JBA carrier
at best, and some scratching sounds like some equally weak SSB, probably an
intruder (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 13680, Nov 20 at 2048 check, RHC European service is open carrier/dead
air, during the semihour supposed to be in Arabic.
11880, Nov 20 at 2143, once again RHC in French instead of scheduled
Portuguese, to Africa (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1696, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 5004.5-USB, Nov 21 at 0103 as I am checking the WWV offset on my
BFO, I find a Navy MARS net here with good signals, including NNN0YCJ, and at
0110 talking about NWS Norman OK predicting ice storm here on Friday, says
NNN0RKS, with NNN0QNN, calls given fonetikaly. Must be Oklahomans.
Searching on NNN0YCJ leads to this treasure trove of ``Oklahoma Broadcasts``
right up to last week:
http://www.navymars.org/south/reg6/ok/okbcsts.htm
NNN0YCJ is Mike P. Baker and had a birthday October 22.
NNN0QNN is Rodney, birthday April 29.
NNN0RKS is WADE P. NORRIS K5WFN DUNCAN OK 73533, birthday November 22.
Frequencies it seems are never mentioned in this document, but nets/frequencies
are always referred to by code numbers. ``REMEMBER WE ARE OKLAHOMA, REGION SIX
AND NAVMARCORMARS; PROUDLY SERVING THOSE WHO SERVE.`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** PERU [and non]. 5980, Nov 20 at 0059, R. Chaski is back after being unheard
since Nov 13. Music spans the hourtop past 0101; at 0102.5, I recognize a
jingle heard before at this time in the Red Radio Integridad programming being
relayed, and cut off at 0104:26*, which is close to my projexion of the
precession during the missed week.
5980, Nov 21 at 0057, I find a big het here, or is it a tone, from a carrier
much stronger than R. Chaski. It`s not exactly centered on 5980.0, but about
5980.4.
This carrier goes off at 0100:36* but comes right back on at *0100:46.
Nevertheless, with BFO I can still detect the much weaker carrier from R.
Chaski which goes off at 0104:32*, six seconds later than last night, in the
margin of error.
But what`s the new signal? I don`t detect any modulation on it other than tone.
Unseems either side of the China Radio War, too strong and steady. Suppose it
could be another form of Cuban jamming against nothing rather than the usual
pulsing which periodically infests this frequency unused by R. Mart? at all in
the evenings (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1696, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SPAIN. 21630, Nov 20 at 1345, for a third day, REE is back on the clasher
instead of 21640; and at 1355 no announcement whatever about this (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1696, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1695: first airing confirmed on WRMI
webcast, UT Thursday Nov 21 at 0430, which now follows Studio DX with Roberto
Scaglione in Italian. Too weak/too much noise to hear it on 9955. Repeats are
still Saturday 1600, Tuesday 1200. Next:
On WTWW: Thursday 2201 on WTWW-1 9475; UT Sunday 0030 on WTWW-2 5085; UT Sunday
0501 on WTWW-1 5830.
On WWRB: UT Friday 0429v on 3195, and maybe 5050-USB like last week.
On Area 51 via WBCQ: UT Saturday 0300v on 5110v-CUSB.
On Hamburger Lokalradio, Saturday & Wednesday 0730 & 1530 on 7265-CUSB
Full schedule including many webcasters:
http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 5050-USB, Nov 20 at 0058, WWRB with big band music, // 3215-AM. But
Nov 21 at 0109, no WWRB on 5050-USB tonight (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A. 960, Nov 20 I did not check at 0600-0605 UT for the KGWA Fox-Hole,
but at 0656 find KGWA is now in dead air, which lasts until non-Fox hole news
cuts back on at 0700, and just before that I get a clear ID for KMA 960 and
KMA-FM 99.1, Shenandoah IA (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1200, Nov 20 at 0105 UT, with WOAI nulled, I am getting
somestation in Spanish, mentions ``La Raza``, which hints it is US, not
Mexican, YL announcer for a while, before WOAI fades back up. I continue to
check this most nights in hopes of hearing the Brazilian Portuguesish as once
before, but which was probably not all the way from ZYland (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
This report dispatched at 0527 UT November 21
