** CHINA. Firedrake April 23:
13780, fair at 1727. Aoki shows target must be RFA in Chinese via Tajikistan at
17-20 (which also collides with RFI in French at 18-20, if really on). One
would expect CNR1 jamming instead. No full bandscan at this time, but checked
one other RFA frequency:
9455, poor at 1729, Firedrake here too.
Following geomag storm with K index hitting 6, reception is generally poor if
it is: hi latitude, multi-hop, or above 10 MHz. NO Firedrake found 11-18 MHz
around 1340 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [and non]. 7210-LSB, April 24 at 1228, N4RAU in Miami and N1NR in
Pennsylvania exchanging SS anti-communist and anti-socialist barbs (socialism
ruined France, Spain, they say, not to mention Cuba for 53 years). Weak
broadcast carrier from presumed 20 kW Kunming is not enough of a BFO.
7110-LSB at 1232 April 24 also had unID SS ham mentioning Sancti Sp?ritus,
oblivious of blocking weak music from Myanmar (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** CUBA. 11750, April 24 at *1255 RHC carrier comes on, but not strong enough
to completely cover BBC; see UK [non].
15340, April 24 at 1305 no signal yet from RHC, tho 15230 is on. 15340 carrier
on late at *1306 and soon JIP modulation added to become the SSOB as
hi-latitude paths are attenuated. At 1307, 17730 is VG but no signal on 17580
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KUWAIT. 15540, April 23 at 1900, R. Kuwait, fair signal in English with
``Art of Giving`` talk, on humanitarian aid by Kuwaiti government to other
countries, development projects, etc. (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NIGERIA. 15115-15120-15125, April 23 at 1858, can`t hear any DRM from VON
until I turn on the BFO, revealing its noise weakly (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** SUDAN SOUTH [non]. 15725, looking for V. of South Sudan, new clandestine
first reported after 1830 April 19 by Rodolfo Tizzi, Uruguay, as quoted in my
previous report:
April 23 around 1730, 1800, 1830, 1900, monitored a few minutes each before and
after these hours, and absolutely nothing audible, not even a carrier. Others
further east heard it neither, including Chris Greenway, UK:
``Same result in Caversham yesterday (23 April) - nil on 15725 at 1830. Given
that the tension continues (yesterday, President Bashir visited a contested
border region and told his troops that the only language South Sudan's
government understood was guns and bullets) we should assume that the station
is still active, but has moved to a different time and/or frequency.``
Or maybe not scheduled every day. When and where will it be rediscovered?
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TURKEY. 15520, April 23 until 1724* tuned across just in time to hear the
VOT IS once on poor signal, and off. This means the 1630 English broadcast
might be listenable here tho aimed eastward (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U K. 11750, April 23 at 1240, BBCWS Newshour is originating today from WBUR
in Boston, Robin Lustig with discussion of the wealth gap in America, how
Massachusetts politicians don`t connect well with the rest of the country,
being too well-educated, well-off and stand-offish by nature. Back to London
tomorrow. This hour only is via THAILAND, 25 degrees also USward. RHC carrier
came on at *1255 but BBC still audible (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 15730, April 23 at *1902 open carrier comes on, no doubt VOA
Greenville setting up for the 2000 broadcast in French. The aging equipment is
subject to unexpected breakdowns, so they need to be sure everything is set to
go each day well before the time needed. BTW, supply of QSL cards has been
restocked for reports direct to transmitter site, this time with VOA logo in
red, white and blue (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [non]. 17690, April 23 at 1722 good umlauty signal in T?rkish, i.e.
YFR via Woofferton UK, 17-19, which went into effect April 14 per HFCC. Come
on, Protestants, millennialists in Turkey? Surely if they want to be Christian
they would be Orthodox (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ZANZIBAR. Thanks to this timely tip via Rodolfo Tizzi, on condiglist: BACK
ON 11735 NOW --- La Voz de Tanzania, Zanz?bar, escuchada por un amigo japon?s
de Youtube.
http://youtu.be/cffc3En6wlM
Aqu? no creo que tengamos suerte, con R?dio Transmundial de Santa Maria,
Brasil, pero quiz?s pueda escuch?rsela a otra hora. 73 de CX2ABP (Rodolfo
Tizzi, Uruguay, April 23, condiglist yg via DXLD)
Clip says:
``11735 kHz Voice of Tanzania Zanzibar ZBC Radio 2012 Apr 23 1808 UT``
It used to stay on until 2100 --- I distributed this to the DXLD yg right away
at 2003 April 23 and then started to hunt for it myself.
At 2007, a very poor and heavily fluttered signal is probably this rather than
Brasil, bolstered by the carrier going off at 2101:12*.
Rodolfo did get it and later put up his own clip, 2046-2051 April 23:
http://youtu.be/BpVkJcCxB24
Hope it improves here on other days, and stays on unlike the brief reactivation
last February. It was much better heard in the UK by Mark Davies and Alan Roe,
and `` all over Europe`` by Wolfgang Buschel.
Old info in Aoki shows 15-21 in Swahili, except for English at 1800-1810 except
on Thursdays and Saturdays, 50 kW, non-direxional from Dole. WRTH has the 11735
time starting at 1400v, and the English at 1800 as irregular.
HFCC A-12 shows nothing else on 11735 during these hours. Aoki also has R.
Transmundial, Brasil at 08-02; Likewise EiBi except hours for that also ending
at 21! From 08-. Brasil, of course, refuses to participate in HFCC, despite all
its SW stations on 6, 9, 11 and 15 MHz bands.
Ron Howard in California reports the other frequency 6015 was still absent when
it should have propagated around 0300 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

ANZAC Day 2012
[Veterans Day]
Lest We Forget
______________
On April 25, Australia and New Zealand jointly commemorate ANZAC Day,
a day of remembrance for those who fell or served in war, and a
series of features at the Radio Heritage Foundation website
www.radioheritage.com reflects fascinating aspects of military
broadcasting.
'Fighting Voices from Downunder' www.radioheritage.net/story197.asp
is an important review of Australian and New Zealand military radio
covering the conflicts from World War 2 through to Vietnam.
'ANZAC Day Salute' www.radioheritage.net/story105.asp features some
of the broadcasters and stations familiar to Australian and New
Zealand forces.
'Australian WWII Pacific Radio' www.radioheritage.net/story69.asp
takes a detailed look at the network of radio stations across the
western Pacific, Papua and New Guinea, Netherlands East Indies and
the Straits Settlements that broadcast entertainment and information
for Australian forces.
'This is Station WLKT Miho' www.radioheritage.net/story246.asp is a
rare recollection of broadcasting in occupied Japan from one of the
mobile radio trucks that was shipped from Australia in late 1945.
The US Armed Forces Radio stations played a major role in introducing
radio broadcasting to much of the Pacific and a large collection of
features about AFRS stations can be found at www.radioheritage.com as
well.
AFRS broadcasts were also heard from 1ZM Auckland [NZ] and 4QR
Brisbane [Australia] during World War 2 and both Australian [WLKS
Kure] and New Zealand [AKAA Yamaguchi] were amongst the ANZAC
military stations broadcasting in occupied Japan in close
co-operation with AFRS.
On this day of reflection, the Radio Heritage Foundation thanks all
those who have contributed their personal stories, photos and audio
collections from times of conflict so that they can be remembered at
www.radioheritage.com.
Radio Heritage Foundation is a non-profit organization supported by
public donation. It connects radio, popular culture, heritage and
history from its website www.radioheritage.com.

As I was logging Family Radio?s 2200 Spanish broadcast via Montsin?ry,
French Guiana, on 15280 on April 22, a man spoke, apparently a sermon,
mentioning Israel many times. At 2212:30 a very strong station suddenly
appeared on the frequency with a man also speaking in Spanish. It sounded
like the same man as on the FR broadcast and he also mentioned Israel
several times. At first I suspected the transmitter power had suddenly been
increased?or perhaps re-beamed toward the center of North America. But I
could still hear the FR broadcast under the interfering station, and the
speaker on that station mentioned Cuba several times. At 2220 it went off
suddenly leaving FR in the clear. (Craighead-Kansas, USA)
