Bolivia, 6134.821, Radio Santa Cruz, 1030-1045, Initially noted a male and
female in some kind of lesson, possibly language? Male says something and

Peru, 4746.972, Radio Huanta Dos Mil, 1037-1050. Noted traditional Huaynos

Indonesia, 4750.00, RRI Makassar, 1157-1205, Noted a female in Indonesian
Language comments
up until the hour. On the hour music heard, which was probably the theme.
News by a male on

probably Bangladesh Betar?
RRI Makassar was threshold. (Chuck Bolland, February 25, 2011)
Indonesia, 9525.968, Voice of Indonesia, 1206-1215, Noted a female in

February 26, 2011)
Unident, 9530, 1200-1230+, Have a female in unknown language, possibly
Tibetan
commenting and presenting local music. This could be CNR Two which is

2011)

Am not sure what your point is; a seventh harmonic of anything from MW *is* DX.

** ECUADOR [non]. 12160, WWCR2, Sat Feb 26 at 1731 with `DX Partyline`,
confirmed on lofi webcast. Having lost the `DX Block` timing a few weeks ago,
apparently it was off WWCR for a few weeks; Rumen Pankov heard it last week at
this time, right after 1700 WORLD OF RADIO. DXPL still does not appear anywhere
on the WWCR program schedule, instead `Calvary Hour` [sic] at 1730-1800 Sats,
but presumably DXPL will be added to the March update in a few days.
Like everything else, will shift one UT hour earlier from March 13, due to
silly DST, i.e. starting March 19 at 1630. So in effect, we have a new ``DX
Block`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ETHIOPIA [and non]. 7235, Feb 26 at 1431, after hearing the MADAGASCAR
long-path het on 6135, I check here for Ethiopia`s always-off-frequency
transmitter, and there it is, a het of a different pitch, against VOA Korean
via Tinang, PHILIPPINES (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GUINEA. 7125, RTG shows up again, Feb 26 at 0646 check in French with
drumming, about Libya; no QRhaM at the moment, as the AROs avoid this AM
intruder in astonishment (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ITALY [non]. 9435, again Sat Feb 26 at 1850, just barely audible carrier
presumed from IRRS test via secret site. Should include WORLD OF RADIO 1553 at
1900. Would monitors circa Europe please check and compare reception with 6090
via Slovakia, if still on, and speculate on the site; also on MW from Italy
itself 1368, 1566 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** LIBYA. While VOA from the GJ jumped to 21660 yesterday, on Feb 26 it`s back
on 21695, which is just as well since on weekends Portugal is running on 21655.
Tune-in at 1435 to poor signal in English. At 1436, I find 17725 is a bit
better but tough copy due to undermodulation and fading. Talking about
legislation, then Beethoven`s Ninth riff, so it`s the `Problem of
Democracy/Green Book` segment, ID. Then African geographical statistics; their
almanac must really be getting worn. Such as longest river of 20,000 km --???
Maybe adding up all the Niles? Still seems too much. Then about bananas, mangos
for us ``Dear listeners``. 1500 reception improves on 21695 with music; 1529
it`s better than 17725 with reggae. 1544 stuff about Mali, Ivory Coast. 1557
still geographic, weakening. 1559 has already switched to French, and now 17725
is better. At 1638 no more 21695, and 17725 still undermodulated. At 1659
clashing with UGANDA [non], q.v. (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MADAGASCAR [and non]. 6135, Feb 26 at 1428 a het between two weak stations
on slightly different frequencies. This is prime-time for longpath from E
Africa, and correlates with report from Ron Howard in California 24 hours
earlier that RTVM was on 6135.28 ex-6134.9, the other station being BBC
Singapore, just starting at 1427 on 6135.0 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** MOROCCO. 15345v, RTVM missing Feb 26 at 1548, nor on 15341v. I must have
caught them during QSY, much later than nominal 1500, since at 1555, 15345 was
on in Arabic, with echo, long-path or at least multi-path (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** PHILIPPINES [non]. 15350, Feb 26 at 1549, RVA in Tagalog talking about this
and that ``bishop`` (English word), interspersed with video game ``firing``
SFX, sending the wrong message? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See
also SAUDI ARABIA [and non], for the other RVA VATICAN relay
** PORTUGAL. 15520, RDPI, Feb 26 at 1554 Portuguese song // much stronger
15560. 15520 is registered Sat/Sun only at 08-17, 300 kW, 144 degrees, while
15560 is to NAm (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SAUDI ARABIA [and non]. 15435, Feb 26 at 1456, CCI and SAH between BSKSA on
early in Arabic, and tail of R. Veritas Asia in Urdu via VATICAN. From 1457
BSKSA alone; had some nice seemingly secular music later in the 1500 hour and
still buzzless (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SPAIN [non]. 17850, as expected, RFI is buried by REE via COSTA RICA,
Saturday Feb 26 at 1640. REE is playing contemporary classical music // direct
15385, 17595, 21570, 21610, with RFI just barely audible underneath. RFI is
daily 16-17 in French from Issoudun, while REE starts 17850 at 1600 on
Saturdays, 1500 on Sundays, 1800 M-F. With plenty of free frequencies on 16m,
e.g. 17860, why does RFI subject itself to this? Yes, targets are very
different, REE to NAm, RFI to Af, but that`s no excuse (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** SRI LANKA [and non]. 11905, SLBC, have been wanting to catch this service
others have been reporting: Feb 26 at 1605, S Asian music over CCI, good with
lite flutter, then romantic crooner, in Hindi? And other pop music. 1615 YL
announcement sounds like Hindi. 1625 she abruptly switches to English but I
don`t realize at first since the accent still sounds like Hindi intonation. Is
interviewing guest, ``thanks for being here today``, 1626 OM replies in English
about a sillyballgame involving ``runs`` so probably cricket. Got the
impression SL is doing well vs Pakistan.
Still conversing when cut off the air rudely at 1628:05* uncovering weak
co-channel station which itself went off at 1629:33*. That would be Poland in
Ukrainian via Woofferton, which most of the time is blocking SL which starts at
1530. If this were not a weekend, we would then be hearing on 11905, VOA to
Sudan, or is it Ethiopia, via Wertachtal, Germany, which is M-F only from 1630
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SRI LANKA. After catching 11905 from here, I tuned up to 19m and the
15209.3v off-frequency relay of YFR via Ekala, Feb 26 at 1632, just in time to
hear ``Family Radio``, mentioned, then open carrier to 1636:13*. Meanwhile with
BFO on, I heard the frequency shift slightly. WYFR Okeechobee blox this until
1600, Camping on the same frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** UGANDA [non]. 17725, checking for weekly 15-minute clandestine R.
Y`Abaganda, via Issoudun, FRANCE, Saturday Feb 26 at 1659 tone mixing with
Libya, 1700 mixture of music and French, hard to sort out, but RYA surely needs
to avoid Libya which has extended past previous 1600* and the source of French
QRM others have reported previous weeks (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U K [and non]. 11770, Feb 26 at 0642, poor signal in African English, about
Nigeria, Ivory Coast, Zimbabwe. I briefly entertained the idea of V. of Nigeria
reactivating this frequency, but 0645 BBCWS ID. Scheduled as via Meyerton,
SOUTH AFRICA, 05-07, 100 kW, 335 degrees USward.
17780, Feb 26 at 1532, sports(?) commentary in African language, over crowd
yelling, whistling and singing, but thank animist gods, no vuvuzelas. Good
signal, same stuff an hour+ later at 1639. Wonder what it`s really about. This
is a Saturday-only Hausa broadcast from BBCWS at 1430-1700, 500 kW, 169 degrees
from Rampisham (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also USA [and non]
WBCQ
** U S A [and non]. 17952-USB, Feb 26 at 1538, ``New York Center``,
air-traffic-control YL contacting various planes, most of which were inaudible,
assigning flight levels, taking position reports. One contact heard was with
Alitalia 630. 1540 selcalls, automated CW ID went past (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. 15420-CUSB, Saturday Feb 26 at 1455, WBCQ IS and ID loop,
which I have never encountered on any of the other three frequencies; do they
ever run it on them? There is a het on the low side, circa 15418: suspect V. of
Tibet and/or jamming, which used to operate around here altho currently not
shown by EiBi or Aoki on any 15 MHz channels.
I assumed WBCQ would join Brother Scare`s Sabbath Service as usual, but tuned
on before 1500. Maybe they did, but at next check at 1551, WBCQ was off 15420,
audiblizing weak BBC in Saturday sports, still with het. BBC is via Cyprus at
14-17. Meanwhile BS was nominal with S.S. on WWRB 9385 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [non]. 15460, Feb 26 at 1635, fair signal in VOA Spe-cial Eng-lish
news. Is via Lampertheim, GERMANY, daily 16-17 only, 100 kW, 132 degrees (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9955, WRMI, with WORLD OF RADIO 1553 at 1850 check Saturday Feb 26,
poor signal but not jammed. Next WRMI chances are Sun 0900, 1630, 1830; WWCR,
Sun 0730 on 3215. See also ECUADOR [non]; ITALY [non] (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX

While BBC is canceling its Mandarin broadcasts in April 2011 and Voice of
America (VOA) its Mandarin and Cantonese broadcasts in October 2011, Sound of
Hope Radio (SOH) Network announced that they will be expanding short-wave
broadcasting to China to meet the demands of its Chinese audience.
Based in San Francisco, California SOH has broadcast to China two hours every
day since 2004. SOH's broadcasts have increased every year in its six years of
operation, with its recent addition of 4.5 hours bringing its average daily
shortwave broadcasting hours to 20.
Network president Allen Zeng indicated that SOH has long wished to expand its
shortwave broadcasting. However, "If BBC and Voice of America are canceling
their Mandarin broadcasts to China, we will be losing two important companions.
Our Chinese audience may feel let down by the loss of their freedom of
information. Therefore, I feel that we now shoulder an even greater
responsibility."
According to China Internet Network Information Center's recent statistics,
China has 450 million Internet users and 730 million adult non-Internet users.
Of the 450 million Internet users, 60 percent are under the age of 30, most are
young people or urban residents. Most of the remaining population, which
consists of citizens over the age of 50, residents of rural or small and
mid-size urban areas, and a mobile population of up to 230 million people
including migrant workers, either do not have access to or do not know how to
use the Internet; they are the ideal audience for shortwave broadcasts.
According to CCP statistics, there are a total of 500 million radios in Chinese
households and many can receive short or medium wave radio. Foreign shortwave
broadcast has long been the source of reliable information for Chinese people,
and was the only way they received true information during the June 4 crackdown
of the democracy movement in 1989. Due to China's size even China National
Radio uses over 80 shortwave frequencies to cover the nation.
Allen Zeng said that SOH is currently increasing its shortwave broadcast to
China instead of decreasing them. "China is still controlled by a totalitarian
regime and the Chinese people's rights are not being protected by the press.
They are truly in need of freedom of information, yet the Internet can only be
accessed by one-third of the people.
"During recent events in Egypt the totalitarian government was able to censor
the Internet, indicating that the Internet is not always reliable. For us a
variety of news sources is necessary."
Zeng says that SOH has long systemically invested in shortwave broadcast to
China, and is fourth in China broadcasting radio stations after VOA, Radio Free
Asia and Radio Taiwan International. It is also the largest private broadcaster
to China, creating and broadcasting over 20 thousand radio programs each year.
Zeng said that SOH will do its best to shoulder the responsibility of bringing
uncensored information to the people of China, adding that, "The international
community should understand the needs of the Chinese people and invest
extensively in China's free access to information, including the Internet,
large-scale shortwave broadcasting, and satellite television, in order to truly
aid China towards positive progress."(http://www.theepochtimes.com)

Christchurch Earthquake
New Zealand
Radio Broadcasting Status
_________________________
A major 6.3 earthquake struck Christchurch on the South Island of New
Zealand on February 22 2011 with nearly 400 killed or missing and
most of the CBD of this city of 350,000 ruined.
A complete list of AM and FM radio services in Christchurch with
updates on their current status is now available.
Many studios are located in the CBD, are damaged and no longer
accessible and several locally based stations [such as Plains FM] are
no longer broadcasting.
Main transmitter sites are operational, but several local low power
FM stations in the eastern suburbs of Aranui, South New Brighton and
Sumner have all sustained damage and are silent.
Other local LPFM stations such as Power Hits 87.7 FM have been
broadcasting emergency accommodation messages for the St
Albans/Mairehau community and offers to help stations have come from
other local stations as far away as Wellington and Queenstown.
Volcano Radio 88.5 FM in Lyttelton returned to the air shortly after
the quake and has been broadcasting community messages and
information since.
The detailed list is available for download from
www.radioheritage.com and is located at the homepage under the header
'Christchurch Earthquake 2011'.
Donations towards the 'Helping Rebuild Christchurch' project which
was launched only the day before the earthquake as part of the Kiwi
Radio Campaign are also welcomed through Paypal at the website or can

Radio Difusora Macap? (B) on 4915kHz really seems to be silent or on a very
reduced schedule. I have not heard it since about Christmas 2010, then in
January someone mentioned it to be on the air but last week the frequency
was empty when I was checking it daily in the evening around 2100UTC and in
the morning around 0500-0700UTC. Radio Daqu? is the second station on the
frequency but its operation hours are limited.

Hello everybody!
A new shortwave radio station with the Name "Radio6150" starts - big
surprise- on 6150 kHz. Frequency seem already be aproved by the
"Bundesnetzagentur", but additional Mesurements have to be done before using
more power.
6150 khz is testing now with 5 Watts (!) only, but wants to broadcast up to
6 kW. The play a short testloop in three languages, english, dutch and
german.
This is now the fourth frequency used by private - more or less - low
powered stations: 5980 khz (Hamburger Lokalradio), 6005 kHz (Radio 700),
6085 khz (Radio Gloria / diverse Stations, right now Free Radio Service
Holland) and now 6150 kHz.
Lets wait and see how shortwave develops in germany. :-)
73, Stephan
