** ANGUILLA. 6090 was back on air Feb 22 around 0645, but now it`s
TUN/DGS/PMS/CB`s 11775 that is missing at 1336, 1437 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. 11780, Feb 22 at 0654, RNA still not on the air; maybe exhausted
from Carnaval? But 11765 SRDA Curitiba is audible with weak wailing from David
Miranda, so propagation is certainly favorable (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake Feb 22:
11500, poor at 1338, off at 1400*. None in the 12s, 13s or 14s. But 11500 is
back on at 1438, fair with flutter
12230, good at 1438
12300, very poor at 1438; none in the 13s, 14s, 15s, 16s, 17s by 1443
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MYANMAR. 7110, Feb 22 at 1329, vocal music heard better than usual, SINPO
24322, then YL talk, news on the hour at 1330? This was originally reported to
be Rakhine broadcasting station, but via Alokesh Gupta, Babul Gupta now says it
is Thazin Broadcasting Station with announced schedule as 1030-1430 on 7110,
2330-0130 on 6030, 0430-0630 on 9400, and on MW 639 thruout, which is also new,
not in WRTH.
So how did 7110 get identified as Rakhine before? What is the axual transmitter
site? My atlases don`t have Thazin, but there is a Thazi small town in Mandalay
state just west of Taunggyi in Shan state
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NEW ZEALAND. 11670-11675-11680, Feb 22 at 0653, DRM noise no doubt from RNZI
once again, instead of scheduled 13725-13730-13735, as analog 11725 is in well.
Adrian Sainsbury says he is looking into this anomaly (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** SPAIN [and non]. 11910, Feb 22 at 1349, incomprehensible language, Basque of
course from REE relay via Beijing site, fair and clear; is about one word
behind 17595 direct from Noblejas, and further ahead of Cariari 15170.
So I make a point of checking the closing: at 1356, 11910 is already in REE IS
until 1357* while the other two are not running IS. A minute later at 1358, the
REE IS comes up as usual on 7435 and 7220, both very poor, prior to CRI`s
Nepali service via Kunming site. It`s all a matter of ChiCom program feed
routing being misaligned as it has been for over two years at least. Obviously
no one is paying attention at SARFT, tho if a pipsqueak SOH transmitter pop up
on a new frequency they jump jamming right onto it. Also, before REE IS came on
7435, something else was weakly audible there, presumably CRI Chinese via
Nanning site (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9330v-CUSB, Feb 22 at 0636, WBCQ once again in open carrier/dead air;
still/again dead at next check 1306, but modulation of GFRN/Radio 2:11 had
resumed by 1358. This seems to be the rule rather than the exception, yet the
program schedule
http://schedule.wbcq.com/main.php?fn=sked&freq=9330
continues to show GFRN 24h a day except for 23-24 M-F `Money Talks` (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

PERU - 6173.89, presumed Radio Tawantinsuyu, Cusco, hrd 2/22 1008 tune-in and
holding up past 1052.? Weak to fair signal strength only.? Reception best with
narrowest bandwidth and in ECSS-LSB with notch deployed to knock out annoying
het from Asian station on 6175.00.? Couple OMs alternating in SS and
occasionally presumed QQ.? Odd programming this morning, no music at all, and
at first mistakenly thought might be taped replay from sporting event, from
night before (had a bit of that kind of cadence to the announcements).? But
then noted many clear, livet/cks in a "doubling-up" kind pattern throughout
entire program of? " . . . las cinco de la manana, las cinco de
la manana, amigos oyentes.? Adelante!! . . ."? (almost as if the minutes didn't
matter, hi.)? So, was a live bcst.? Most of the time, only fragments of speech
were decipherable, such as at 1017, " . . . muy buenos dias, Cusco . . . la
primera voz . . . de la patria . . ."?? Taped ads were noted at 1024 and 1047,
during which hrd different, more bassy-voiced man in studio echo effect.??
Almost sounded like live feed from remote, but at 5:30 a.m. in Cusco that
doesn't make too much sense. Not sure what this was, but could have been live
feed from Ash Wednesday morning procession or something else like that.? "Back
in the day" this would have likely been a peticiones program, with greetings
being passed to remote family members and friends. ? In any event, very nice to
hear them poking a hole in the ether, been trying to hear them ever since I
reactivated on SWBC DXing a year ago.? First time heard by me in 25 years and
always a sentimental
station, as I visited them at Avenida del Sol back in 1976.?? Will be
diligently patrolling this fqy in the mornings now and hoping for better
conditions soon.? (Perry, Illinois)

Australian Radio
90 Years Ago in 1922
Amateur Radio DJ's
Lead the Way
____________________
For some 20 years, Australian radio amateurs had the right to
broadcast local music and other programs on the standard mediumwave
radio dial, sharing frequencies with licenced commercial radio
stations in the evenings and on Sunday mornings.
The Radio Heritage Foundation has just released its latest feature
'Amateur Radio DJs Lead the Way" at www.radioheritage.com co-inciding
with the broadcast of the new radio documentary currently being heard
on Radio New Zealand International.
In the years between 1921 and 1922, over 50 local radio stations were
broadcasting in Australia, all run by local radio amateurs.
Some of these operations were very sophisticated for their time,
broadcasting for nearly 10 hours each week and operators soon going
on to help establish the ABC and commercial radio stations.
2CM Sydney was the first station with 3ME Melbourne, 4CM Brisbane,
and 5BG Adelaide also amongst the early starters.
In the feature you'll hear more about these stations and the
pioneers such as Charles MacLurcan, Ray Allsop, Harry Douglas, Sydney
Neuman, Thomas Elliott and others.
You'll also see images of early Australian radio from 1921 including
rare QSL postcards issued by some of the early amateur radio DJs from
our collections.
You can also use our fully up to date Australian AM, FM & Digital
Radio Guides at our global website www.radioheritage.com.
Use our Google Search to find more features about broadcasting in
Australia, including over 50 features about individual stations from
the mid-1940s in the Long Lost Australian Radio Guides series.
You can listen to the documentary for one month from February 19 2012
by visiting the audio-on-demand service for Mailbox audio at the RNZI
website www.rnzi.com. This audio will later be added to the feature
at www.radioheritage.com.
