ASCENSION ISL/U.K. BBCWS to conduct special midwinter broadcast to
Antarctica, from Media Network blog <http://blogs.rnw.nl/medianetwork/>
[June 19 JB]
The BBC World Service will be making a special midwinter shortwave
broadcast to Antarctica on Sunday 21 June at 2130 UTC. The broadcast is
directed to members of the British Antarctic Survey, and will be on the
following frequencies:
5950 kHz (from Rampisham, UK)
7295 kHz (from Rampisham, UK)
7360 kHz (from Ascension Isl)
Source: Travellin' South blog <http://alloutput.com/blog/>
[according to the British Antarctic Survey blog above, they tested 16 June
and 7295 gave very strong reception in Antarctica. Broadcast will include
messages from home for members of the BAS at the Rothera station.]

CANADA/CZECH REP [and non]. R. Prague ending Sackville relay in English
(6080 kHz at 0330 UT) on July 1. This per the following June 16th response
from Oldrich Cip to Kevin Molander (Martinez-CA-USA, dxld)
"I am in charge of the frequency management and international co-
ordination for Radio Prague and therefore I am very much interested in
your report of good reception of the 9870 kHz frequency channel that is
indeed employed on one shortwave transmitter located near the town of
Litomysl in the Czech Republic.
Western part of North America in particular is a difficult region for
transmissions from Central Europe and Radio Prague is also renting a relay
service from Sackville, Canada at 0330 UTC [to 0357] on 6080 kHz.
Unfortunately, this service is going to be terminated starting from July
1st on account of a budget cut associated with the current global economy
downturn.
Thanks again for getting in touch with me. This has been very much
appreciated. Friendly greetings, Oldrich".

Spanish via Sackville and Ascension as well as Russian via Tajikistan?

OHR.
I've made comments in the past here about wideband pulse OTH (over-the-
horizon) radar type signals in various magazines but very little response.
Too much local generated electronic hash from all the electronic junk
would now mask the signals which have decreased very much since they
started over three years ago, 'S6' equivalent then down to an annoyance on
weaker signals now. Still there, now ca 6.8 to 25+ MHz with a few gaps.
But in the last few days, the daddy-of-all interferers wiped out the WHOLE
31m band here and was a classical radar signal with a whopping peak >100
kHz wide and strong sidebands out to 400/500 kHz either side! The ONLY
signal I could hear was the usual S9 R Nederland on 9895 around 1030 UT.
This was Thu June 11.
Radar signal had the usual peaks and troughs ca 10 dB difference at right-
on 20 kHz apart, PRF hard to judge, ca 30 Hz. With the wide spread of the
signal and the S9++ of the main lobe, it must have been many 10s of
Megawatt ERP, if not hundreds. I cannot visualise just what sort of
transmission technology can handle such immense pulse power.
Signal was on again Fri 12th from ca. 0930 UT till sudden off at 1145. I
am gobsmacked at such a signal wiping out a complete band at one time,
who, why, where from. Steady signals make it likely from SE/E Europe or
near middle East. Not heard Sat 13th or today Sun 14th. This is a very
ominous spectre from the military spooks, much worse than the old Russian
Woodpecker.
Centre frequency of radar transmitter was 9800 kHz, spreading 500 kHz
either side. I'll be listening again in the morning to see if they were on
a 9 to 5 Mon to Fri shift (or off on the Sabbath?). I could hear it on a
cheap nasty multiband portable with the rod un-extended, lighting the
tuning LED. I'll keep you posted.
HF conditions UP in the last few days. I hear 8 to 10 BC stations in the
21 MHz band most days, massive signals from REE Spain and RTP Lisbon, 26.0
R Maria (AM) [Italy] up to clear S6 the odd day, CBers all over 25/26/27
and into 10m ham band too.
By the way, there's audio recordings of interference on
<http://www.AA5TB.com>
the 049.mp3 wideband is just like the OTH I've been hearing the last few
years. Hainan Is., China more than likely. Hope the above is of interest
to you.
(Des WALSH (EI5CD), Ireland, dxld June 13-14)
Re OHR: I've heard the same QRM here in Australia, also on 31-meters. Here
though, it's centered around 9500 kHz and causes interference 500 kHz +/-
the main frequency. Thank goodness it's not every day. Let's go ahead and
blame China, until someone proves different, hi. Chinese stations (and
associated jammers) are the biggest DX roadblock in this part of the
world.

The change to 5940 has indeed been made, but the Sitkunai relays are off
since Tuesday, June 16th, acc. Paul Gager who apparently monitors the
German broadcast every day. Automated recordings of the German programmes
from satellite are just fine (taken aside the nasty ground loop that
plagues the live announcer mic), so getting a feed can hardly be the
problem.

Junglinster on 6095 now does not start before 1400 (if "16:00" refers to
CET). It is understood that during daytime DRM on 1440 is now run at 30 kW
only as a cost saving measure. 5990 has been switched off because soon no
tubes will be available for the old transmitters anymore. In general the
shortwave transmitters as well as 1440 can be expected to stay on air as
long as the missionaries pay for airtime (CRI must be added here I think).
If they go away and no new customers can be found it will be the end. And
RTL has withdrawn from the DRM consortium.

NEW ZEALAND [non] 60 YEARS AGO. The June 1949 issue of the NZ DX Times.
Bill Marsh in Christchurch had been rising early to log Basle 1375, Nantes
1366, Lyons 1339, Clermont 1321, Paris 1429, Tunis 823 and Munich 1249
kHz.
In the Shortwave Mailbag, Peter Thorn advised of QSLs from CE1180 [Chile]
after 2.5 years, Bandoeng 4825, CKCX and VLH5. Fellow Dunedinite Ross
Gibson had reports away to Lebanon 8026 plus Latins OAX4W, OAX6E, CE960
and YVMQ. Arthur Cushen had the first NZ QSL for Radio Budapest, operating
with 400 watts on 6250 and 9830 kHz. A new 100 kW station was due to open
in April 1950.
In the 'Kings of the Kilocycles' broadcast mailbag, Keith Robinson
Auckland told of the first international QSL for KRBC 1470 and reports
away for test broadcasts from KWYO and KTW.

"TRANSRADIO schliesst am 10. Juni 2009 nach lediglich rund dreimonatiger
Bauphase die Installation und Inbetriebnahme von drei TRAM 300 MW
Sendeanlagen fuer Radio Nacional de Espana (RNE) erfolgreich und
vertragskonform ab.
Die drei neuen Sender ersetzen an den Standorten Madrid, Sevilla und
Barcelona die dort bisher in Betrieb befindlichen Telefunken Roehrensender
aus den fruehen 90er Jahren.
Durch den Einsatz der neuen TRAM-Senderanlagen realisiert RNE neben einer
betraechtlichen Energieersparnis und niedrigeren Instandhaltungskosten in
erster Linie die DRM-Faehigkeit der oben genannten drei
Mittelwellensendestellen."
