(Nils Schiffhauer-D DK8OK, A-DX Aug 31) CKZU Vancouver on even 6160.0
Via Walter Salmaniw CKZN, St John's is presently off frequency. I'm
measuring them on 6160.866 duking out with CKZU Vancouver - big het.
(about 16 hours ago from web, <http://twitter.com/dxerca> Sept 3 via dxld)
Danke fuer das CKZN Log mit genauer Frequenz. Ich war letzte Nacht (0400
UT) auch auf 6160 kHz und habe CKZU-Blues aus Vancouver gehoert, da war
CKZN fuer mich der Stoerer. Vancouver war auf glatten 6160 kHz, da musste
der notch gegen die 870-Hertz-Het her. Manchmal kommen beide Audios,
diesmal war Vancouver dominant. Wenn die Frequenz so gut stimmt, hast Du
damit meine Frage beantwortet, wer die Stoerung verursacht hat. Mein noise
war also Dein Log. Bei I=4 ist bei Dir wohl nicht mal ein Traeger aus
Vancouver dabeigewesen?

CHILE HCJB tests via Christian Vision Santiago Chile site.
Just to let you know that, from our side, we are ready to carry out the
test transmissions for HCJB next week from September 7th to 11th. We will
use Antenna 6 and Transmitter 7 as follow:
2300-2400 UT 9865 kHz in German
0000-0100 UT 11755 kHz in Portuguese
In den kommenden Woche wird es einige Testsendungen fuer den
portugisischen und deutschen Dienst von Radio HCJB ueber die Sendeanlagen
von CVC in Chile geben. Das Zielgebiet ist Suedamerika bzw der Norden
Brasiliens. Wer es hier in Deutschland auch mal probieren moechte:
07. - 11. Sept. 2009:
2300-2400 UTC 9865 kHz; 0000-0100 UTC 11755 kHz
Es kann im laufe der Woche noch zu Aenderungen in den Wellenbereichen oder
Frequenzen kommen; beim Test geht darum zu evaluieren, ob der Empfang im
Zielgebiet moeglich ist bzw beim portugiesischem Sprachdienst, ob es sogar
moeglich ist, im selben Band zu bleiben wie bislang, um die vielen Fix-
Tuned Radios, die im Amazonasgebiet verteilt wurden, weiterhin mit
Programmen bedienen zu koennen.

Estimados, he recibido una comunicacion de Esther Neufeld de la HCJB en
aleman (adjunta abajo) comunicandome un cambio en las frecuencias que
usaran para las transmisiones de prueba que llevaran a cabo del 7 al 11 de
septiembre de 2009, que finalmente se llevaran a cabo asi:
2300-2400 UT 9865 kHz - aleman
0000-0100 UT 11755 kHz - portugues
Lo que no me ha quedado claro es si seran hasta las 01 del 11 de
septiembre UT (21 horas del 10 de septiembre en Chile) o hasta las 01 del
12 de septiembre UT (21 horas del 11 de septiembre en Chile). Ya le he
pedido que ojala nos lo pueda clarificar.

CHINA Radio China to vacate amateur-only section of 7 MHz band.
QSY. Nei Menggu PBS 7105 kHz moved to 7430 kHz from 0950 UT on Sept 1st.
Chinese stations disappeared from HAM band.
(Sei-ichi Hasegawa-JPN, NDXC HQ dxld Sept 1)
Your thinking the same thing I am. I do know that the Chinese Taipei
Amateur Radio League has been putting pressure on the Taiwan government to
do something about the interference from China on the ham bands. Maybe
this could be it, but because Taiwan is not allowed (or prevented by
China) to be part of any international organizations I don't see them
being able to do anything, unless Japan did it on behalf of Taiwan which
could be the case.
(Keith Perron-TWN, dxld Aug 31)
Radio China, what's that? Never heard of that station. Does this refer to
the PRC or the ROC? Aoki currently shows only one PRC transmitter still on
7100-7200, i.e. Nei Menggu on 7105. Until recently it was necessary to jam
Taiwan on 7130, 7185 but those have moved out, so who deserves credit for
that? What are or were all five frequencies? The story is in the future
tense, but appears already outdated.
I don't find any recent article to this effect on the IARU Region 1
website homepage nor where it would be more likely at IARU Monitoring

It is reported that two kinds of Firedrake is transmitted, actually to be
a monitored of NDXC is the same music.
The same music establishes an interval for about approx. 6 minutes.
Received on Aug 2, started of drums of "Harvest Gongs and Dramus-Feng Shou

DENMARK Re: WMR Ilskov hardware location.
Google Earth imagery. Some high resolution place. VE Update - Google Earth
V.5 historical image.
Guys ... why don't you ask me? I have no problem giving any information as
to the operation of the WMR transmitter site near Karup. What exactly do
you want to know? Photos? Dates when on air?
The postal address of the transmitter site was Gedhusvej 24, Ilskov,
Karup, Denmark - and from the first period from here, we were on the air
from that very farm house. However the tx operator wanted the aerial to be
moved some metres away from the house, and so the aerial was moved I guess
close to 100 metres to the other side of the road.
There is absolutely nothing left now. The tx-operator died from cancer
almost one year ago, and everything was removed and is now in a warehouse.
Best 73s
Stig Hartvig Nielsen-DEN (SW TXsite Aug 31)
We have some further information about the now exinct Radio Station & TXer
site of World Music Radio.
WMR used two antenna sites over its lifetime, but just the one transmitter
location. Essentially I count this as one site as the antennas were moved
only a matter of meters from the house.
Interesting that Stig mentions he would love to return the station to air
if he had sufficient funds. I'd certainly love to hear Denmark back on the
shortwave bands again.
Stig notes follow & I have posted three images up on the Yahoo Group
website of the antenna/s. Check out the images in PHOTO ALBUM #10

Yes - first test broadcast on 15810 kHz was on May 9th 2004.
First test broadcast on 5815 was on May 18th 2004 at 1710 local time.
Test from first site ceased on July 5th 2004 at 0800 local time. Resumed
from second site mid-August 2004.
Silenced in a hurricane (39 m/sec in the area) on January 8th 2005. This
really was the end of WMR (once again)
Later used for rebroadcasting 'Free Radio Service Holland' and
'Spaceshuttle Radio'. Last time on the air: June 15, 2008.
I ran out of money (having spent [$$$$$$$ ... Ed] on the project) so had
to stop it. But I would love to bring WMR back on the air if I had
sufficient amount of money.

Bisher war Diskussionsstand, dass - angenommen wird - nur das potente ETH
ein DRM aehnliches weisses Rauschen als Jamming hernimmt, und damit -
bisher - die 7165 kHz aus Eritrea bedeckt. Laut Aussage der Bandwacht und
Bundesnetzagentur gibt es dieses Rauschen-Jamming auch fruehmorgens circa

yes I traced these jamming transmissions - UNDERNEATH - on 6075 kHz also
here in Germany in past two weeks.
BUT, I was not aware of the anonymous suspected jamming station [origin

INDIA AIR Kolkata transmitters to be upgraded All India Radio Kolkata's
transmitters including the shortwave transmitters are to be upgraded and
made more powerful probably seeing the aggressiveness with which CRI is
covering the world on the bands. The programmes are to be made more
interesting and people oriented. Moreover it seems government will soon
give away licences to foreign broadcasters and they will broadcast with
private parties in India. This was heard on the local news.

Actually only some old ones, as Wolfgang already posted. It is believed
that one of them is in use on 6070/6100, an outlet that appeared after
this deal had been made and had originally stable frequencies as well as
differing modulation characteristics. But judging from a recent
observation by Glenn this transmitter appears to be quite defective now.
Btw, the old Switzerland list raises another question: What became of the
transmitters bought by AWR? They were designated for a new transmitter
site in Italy (a much more powerful replacement for Forli) that has never
been built. Do these transmitters still exist or have they been sent to
some scrapyard?
It seems that there were in recent years hardly any disruptions of
shortwave transmissions. Not that it would help too much to shut them off,
it would save some megawatts which are really peanuts. But it shows that
foreign broadcasting must be a priority when they keep it up while cutting
power to private homes, industrial plants, railway power substations.
And do people in South Korea really want a reunification? Do they really,
seriously believe that their economy would survive this?

like to thank you for your help. I couldn't have done this for 13 years
without you.
I'm not sure who will be assuming my duties, but rest assured I will
forward all my mailing list and contact to them; you should be hearing
from them in due time; please afford them the same generosity and courtesy
you've shown me. 73 & SK, Al Quaglieri [. . .]
With this, I come not just to the end of another month's items, but also
the end of my stewardship of this column. This was entirely my decision,
there is no personal drama or club intrigue behind it.
A lot has changed since I began DXing in 1962: equipment, locations, me,
the world, broadcasting itself. Some of these changes were for the better
(most change is, whether we like it or not); others, however, have worked
against me.
Noise, for instance. I've been battling local RFI for decades. Now, noise
is simply everywhere, all the time, and it has won; I can't very well go
to all my neighbors and ask them to unplug their plasma TV's, their home
security systems, their in-home powerline networking. Over time my RF
noise floor has gradually risen to a level that has made real DXing
impossible.
Without DX, and with additional gremlins (CODAR, or DRM, anyone?), I
haven't been listening much lately. Not much at all.
I believe that Listener's Notebook really needs an editor who still has a
hand in the game, and, regrettably, that is no longer me.
Before turning over the reins to my successor, I must acknowledge the
contributors who've helped make this column possible month after month,
the supportive and interesting radio friends I've made in the process. You
have all been wonderful, and I cannot thank you enough.
To the publishing and executive staff of NASWA, your patience with
thirteen years of my chronic tardiness certainly qualifies you for
sainthood. Thank you for entrusting me with the keys to what was a
distinguished DX institution long before I arrived. I hope I've left the
place in decent condition. Can I have my deposit back now, please?
And to everyone in the SWL community, I can only hope that in some small
way I've helped better your enjoyment of this amazing hobby. We share
something very special, you and I. As long as ghostly electronic whispers
from afar continue to bounce about us, we will continue to be thrilled by
the sheer joy of pulling them out of thin air.

VIETNAM Radio the Voice of Vietnam (VOV) officially launched its East
Sea broadcasting project yesterday at the VN1 transmitter station in
Hanoi's Son Tay town. Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung pressed the button to
start the transmitter.
Now that the project has been put into operation, fishermen and soldiers
operating offshore or living on islands will have a channel providing
accurate, timely, trustworthy and round-the-clock information on domestic
and foreign affairs, economics, cultural, and social events, and
especially forecasts about extreme weather, search and rescue work at sea
to minimise loss of life and property caused by natural disasters.
Speaking at the launching ceremony, Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung praised
the VOV's effort in putting the first phase of the project into operation
while the country is celebrating the 64th anniversary of the August
Revolution and National Day and the 40th anniversary of implementing
President Ho Chi Minh's testament.
To better implement the project, PM Dung urged the VOV to make full use of
infrastructure, machinery and staff to improve the quality of broadcasts
on the East Sea. He emphasised the importance of the project to maritime
economic activities, natural disaster prevention and rescue efforts.
PM Dung asked the VOV to work closely with relevant ministries and
departments, such as the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development and
the Ministry of National Defence to receive and transmit information about
fishing grounds, weather, and rescue work. He urged the VOV to make a
greater effort to become "a trusted and loyal friend" of fishermen and
soldiers operating offshore or living on islands to protect the country.
PM Dung agreed that the Government will continue to finance the second
phase of the project to provide high-quality news updates for Quang Ninh,
Ba Ria-Vung Tau, Kien Giang and central coastal provinces throughout the
day, especially at night. He authorised the VOV to research and implement
sub-projects to improve the quality of East Sea broadcasts.
On behalf of the VOV deputy general director Dao Duy Hua briefed attendees
on the project's implementation process. The first phase of the project
has been completed in 8 months with coverage reaching out 3,500km from the
coast, including all Vietnamese territorial waters and most offshore
fishing areas. (Source: Voice of Vietnam)
Andy Sennitt adds: No frequency information is given in the report, but
with coverage up to 3500 km from the coast this surely has to be a
shortwave service. Does anyone have the schedule?
(RNW MN by Andy Sennitt, Aug 30 via dxld) 60, 49 and 31 mb ? (wb)
I can receive VOV-1 on 7435 kHz of new frequency from 2300v to 2400v UT.
1st noted on Aug 29. I think that started new service. Opposed to Beibu
Bay Radio?

UNIDENTIFIED 4965 Chinese military/spy? 1311-1315*, Aug 28 with man
reading a series of numbers in Chinese. Seems a strange frequency to
choice for this activity. Sei-ichi Hasegawa of Japan comments: "I heard
your audio file. I was able to hear the reading of numerals in Chinese.
Probably seemed to be Chinese Army or Chinese fishery"; first time I have
heard this; weak.
