It seems the station uses the retuned 20 kW tx formerly used in the 31 metre band. The station on 4884,38 kHz heard quite often, is probably Radio Ondas del Meta from Villavincencio.

On April 5th, VoR Moscow suddenly ceased further eight languages, Indonesian, Khmer, Nepalese, Sinhalese, Swahili, Tamil, Hausa, and Swedish. Furthermore cutback the broadcasting times in 17 other languages, simply for financial reasons. Radio Nadezhda was taken off the air at the start of Febr for non payment of rent arrears for its premises, but now is back on.

USA CW The US Cost Guard turned off its Morse Code equipment on March 31st after nearly a century of monitoring telegraphy distress calls. New technology has replaced telegraphy. The Coast Guard received only two Morse SOS calls at all of its centres during 1994 and none so far this year. That compares to up to 10000 Morse code messages a month at one station alone just five years ago. The US Coastguards switching off their morse code equipment for the last time, because radio and satellite advances have made them obsolete. SOS messages have been flying around the world since 1908, when British and German radio operators agreed on the message. For ten years previously, ships had been radioing 'CQD' when they came into distress. The first radio equipment was installed on a lightship on the Goodwin Sands, off the Kent Coast in 1899.

First, the damage to vehicle and body plus paying for the camel, particularly if it was a "prize race camel". (Johnson) CIS/RUSSIA/UNIDENTIFIED RADIO STATION Mystery 15470 kHz station. Please find below the text of a report to appear in this week's WBI about the mystery station on 15470 kHz. We are still investigating this, in particular trying to get a translation of the station name which sounds to me like "Programme Mukhto Probaho". Bengali-language Muslim broadcast heard on 15470 kHz. An unknown station assumed to be using a shortwave transmitter in Russia and broadcasting Muslim religious programming in Bengali has been heard recently with daily transmissions at 1330-1400 GMT on 15470 kHz. The religious programme, which calls itself "Discussion Session on the Words of God", includes songs, quotations from the Koran, prayers and a discussion of religious themes. The following address for listeners' letters is given at the end of the programme: GPO Box 1605, Bangkok 10501, Thailand.

Immediately prior to the start of the broadcast at 1330 GMT the transmitter radiates a series of test tones identical to those used for many years by transmitters in the former Soviet Union.

(Russian DXer from Sotchi via HCJB DXPL) EDXC'95 Conference in Rebild Denmark in retrospect. Dear friends, Ramstein 13 June 1995 Since you were unable to attend our EDXC'95 Conference at Rebild, Denmark on June 2-5th 1995, I want hereby to forward to you a firsthand report on some of the major events. Please feel free to publicize them in your bulletins. We had exactly 100 participants from 18 countries around the world. Besides our attendees from the "traditional" West European countries, we had overseas guests from Sri Lanka (long-time DX-er Victor Goonetilleke 4S7VK), Korea (Kyong-Tae Jong from R. Korea), U.S.A. (Adrian Peterson from AWR; Larry Magne, Jane Brinker and Marie Lamb all from Passport to Worldband Radio; Lewis R. Coulbourn, Gerald F. Kercher and R.C.Watts) and from Eastern Europe: Frederica Dochiniou (R.Romania Int.), Dr. Zsuzsa Mszaros (R. Budapest) and from the Czech Republic: Maria Gsselova and Karel Honzik. Our comprehensive program went on as planned and several participants were quite exhausted by it! We had a lot of very interesting talks by experts in their fields on shortwave broadcasting today and in the coming years via shortwaves and other means, the future challenges for shortwave listeners and for hardcore DX-ers in this environment. We also had travel reports from DX-ers visiting or working in the Pacific Islands, the Philippines, Southern Asia, AFN, Latin America, R. Solidarnocz (Poland) and R. Baltic International coming up, 14 attending broadcasters, R. Denmark on SW, Private Broadcasting in Denmark, Broadcasting in Greenland, DX-ing in the third World focusing Asia, talks and discussions on the future of international broadcasting including the use of satellites, and the future of hardcore DX-ing.

The conclusion was that even if some big, international broadcasters are leaving the shortwavebands for broadcasts to the western World, they have to continue to broadcast on shortwaves for the rest of the world for many years to come, because the audience there are unable to receive the broadcasts via the new means of communication. Thus Short Wave Listening will continue - and even with lesser interference, because the number of international SW transmitters and the number of jamming transmitters have been considerably reduced. Furthermore the number of shortwave listeners is steadily increasing with the more easy-to-use, high quality, portable receivers becoming available on the market at a relatively cheap price. The reception conditions for "hard-core DX-ers" will improve for the same reasons, and that were the main and encouraging conclusion of this EDXC Conference in Denmark! The attendees enjoyed the 4 days at the beautiful natural park surroundings, the local folklore dancing at the opening ceremony, the traditional Banquet at an old Danish farmhouse, the guided tour to a local, private Radio and TV station at Aalborg and the city and surrounding area, and the ingenious Andean folklore group "Titicaca" which received a standing applause after its exciting performance. We did "broadcast" via a Hotel TV Channel a lot of Video programmes including oldtime offshore recordings. Pop music from that time was also played at our Night Club by real offshore DJ's! However, our big scoop was that we - after much trouble - succeeded in broadcasting on shortwave from the Hotel building shortwave broadcasts as announced on 7 and 15 MHz 3 times each day with 40 - 350 watts of power. So far, they have been reported heard in England, Holland, Germany and Sweden, besides nearby the Hotel. You missed something by not attending ! But please keep in contact with me, and tell me any news, whenever you might have such. DX PRESS The Danish Shortwave Clubs International (DSWCI) has just published two new editions of their wellknown publications for advanced DX-ers: TROPICAL BANDS SURVEY (TBS) The 23rd annual edition of the wellknown TBS has been compiled again by Anker Petersen. It lists all active broadcasting stations in the 2000 - 5900 kHz range by frequency, power, location and transmission time. It is completely updated untill late May 1995, and again this year based upon monitoring information from DX-ers all over the World. Each station is classified by a code describing its current audibility. It consists of 28 offset printed A-4 PAGES. CLANDESTINE STATIONS LIST (CL) The Clandestine Broadcasting scene changes quickly, and therefore Finn Krone again has updated the DSWCI Clandestine List up to late May 1995. It contains the latest available data on all active Clandestine stations broadcasting on shortwave, including transmission schedule, political organization, language, addresses and verification policy. The stations are listed in frequency order, as well as in time order and country by country. You'll also find much background information of the Clandestine stations, which are not found elsewhere. It consists of 28 offset printed A-4 pages, an increase of 8 pages compared to the 1994 edition. Each of these publications are available for 10 IRC's or 50,- Danish Crowns for airmail delivery worldwide. Reduced rates for bulk orders can be obtained.

This is a temporary broadcast only, and will expire in a few weeks. At this time, it is undetermined if the contract will be renewed. With the closing of the VOA Bethany relay station, and to counteract Cuban jamming, it became necessary to augment Radio Marti frequencies. Several private US broadcasters were contacted, but only WHRI had both the requested time available and the technical parameters needed.

On August 22nd, I'll be talking to Victor Gonnetilleke of Sri Lanka, a long-time radio monitor and organizer of one of the Third World's most enduring clubs for shortwave listeners, the Union of Asian DXers. Several times during the recent EDXC conference in Rebild, Denmark, amidst all the talk about new satellite channels and audio via the World Wide Web, Victor stood up and called on the broadcasters present not to abandon the vast majority of the world's population who lack access to satellite receivers and Internet computers.

To commemorate the 50th anniversary of the end of World War II, WWCR short wave located in Nashville, TN will rebroadcast several historical performances that showcase WW II radio. Distinctly American music was used to speak to young German soldiers. One programme that utilised the universal appeal of American music was the Glenn Miller broadcast. WWCR will air these WW II programmes on Saturday, August 5th at 0600 UTC on 7435 kHz, 1400 UTC on 15685, and 2200 UTC on 12160 kHz. The war time recordings by the American Band of the AEF under the direction of Captain but by then Major Glenn Miller for a German audience were cut during October 1944 at Abbey Road studios, London, the band travelling from their Bedford HQ to record six numbers at each session. After her introduction Ilse Wienberger entered into humourous Germanic chat with Glenn between each number. The broadcasts opened and closed with swing classics that were all the go, some comedy numbers were in English but "Soldier with a Song" Johnny Desmond was soon able to render his slow ballads in remarkable German. Old soldiers, if you missed these "Long Aga And Far Away's" in 1944 or when later re-issued -- tune in on August 5th.

Please, check it out! Suddenly losing 6205 kHz is quite a problem, as I had planned to place over 8 hours of programming on that one frequency! I've written to a couple of Russian DXers asking for their help with regard to the CIS release between 0115-0430 UTC. I'm hoping 5905 kHz will be clear for that time period. Now, I'm asking for your help again to help us find a clear frequency for the Czech/Swedish/Portuguese/French/German broadcast between 0500-0700 UTC. This is the release that is currently on 12025 kHz. I understand that transmissions from Israel on 5905 kHz during that time period rule out that frequency. (sic: KOL on 5900 & 5915 scheduled ??) Is 6050 kHz clear between 0500-0700 UTC in your area, or is there too much interference with Spain? Ed: No, not REE Spain 6055 kHz closing at 0500 UTC is a problem here. But 6050 kHz is used by RCI Montreal in E/F via Skelton-England at 0500-0600 DST, and 0600-0700 UTC from Sept 24th, all Monday to Friday only. From Sept 24th BBC London is usually 0500-0530 UTC in Turkish/Bulgarian via CYP, 0545-0600 via Rampisham in Serbian. Powerhouse RFI Paris in French to EUR is using nearby 6045 kHz at 0300-0600 UTC, from Sept 3rd also at 0300-0700 UTC. Suggest best choice would be either 6090, 5925, 6055, or 6145 kHz, but on the latter DW here last winter at 0400-0600. Why not using 9440...9445 kHz range, would make it. Night frequency of 15490 kHz at 1700-2000 UTC for English program is beating with powerhouse Kuwait on 15495 kHz too, 15540 kHz would be better choice. In Nov to Febr 19 mb is useless here, 25 mb would be the only solution.

(BBCMS via NASWA) USA WYFR Okeechobee Florida is now using new 11650 kHz for its Spanish service 2200-2300 UTC, parallel with 15695, and replacing 11835. Frequency choice appears illogical, due to co-channel use of 11650 by Beijing (also Spanish), and SRI-Montsinery (from 2215 onwards)! As at 26/8. (BP, ARDXC) Radio Marti is now using 7365 kHz (250kw from Delano) from 0000-0400 UTC. 7365 kHz previously signed on at 0100 UTC. 15330 kHz (also 250kw from Delano) now drops to two hours a day (2200-0000 UTC). 15330 kHz previously signed off at 0100 UTC. Essentially, Delano needs to do some transmitter maintenance, so is signing off 15330 kHz an hour early. (Seifert/Fleming/Jihad Dx #43 via Naswa)

VOA & RFE/RL site usage From: Dan Ferguson, (sent to Anker Petersen) With consolidation of VOA and RFE/RL progressing, each is using some sites formerly used by only one in the past. I've extracted the following information from the schedule data. Those interested in hearing and QSLing these transmissions might, considering that we are in an era of decreasing budgets, want to do it sooner, rather than later.

BCDX no. 170) ...you have printed about a Muslim religious station in Bengali calling itself as "Mukto Probaho" with daily transmissions at 1330-1400 GMT on 15470 kHz. I have listened to the station and can add the following bit of information. It is actually a Christian station beaming missionary teachings directed to the Muslim community in Bangladesh. The wordings are cleverly disguised -- so the word 'Allah' used so very often should not be misconstrued to being a Muslim preaching. Arabic words are used profusely like Kalaam (Scriptures), Shaitan (Satan), Massiah (Christ), and so. 73's Ashok (Ashok Kumar Bose, Calcutta, India, via WWDXC DX Magazine) VATICAN CITY Vatican Radio schedule, all services: 0030-0100 Portuguese 9605 7305 0040-0100 Hindi 11935 9650 0100-0120 Tamil 11935 9650 0100-0145 Spanish 9605 7305 6095 0120-0140 Malayalam 11935 9650 0140-0200 English 11935 9650 0145-0230 Spanish 9605 7305 6095 0210-0230 Armenian 7365 6185 0230-0245 Albanian 4005 0230-0250 French 9605 7305

BC-DX 172 09 Sep 1995 ________________________________________________________________________ ANTIGUA BBC Antigua 5975 noted missing 5th Sept c.0300 UT as hurricane Luis was about 5 hours away. The frequency was a jumble of other audio, nothing listenable. From tune-in 2100 UTC 5th Sept a weak signal, at least one other signal underneath, with a special "Caribbean Report" heard only on this frequency. The 30-min program was not heard on any of the other usual frequencies on the air at this time. I faxed Jonathan Marks and he tells me this afternoon (6 Sep) that 5975 is now coming from a UK site. He also told me the DW relay went away. Details on this week's Media Network. (Sundstrom via Jihad Dx) 14295U V21N (Roy) heard weak 0120+ 9/6 on battery power w/ Hurricane Luis info.

(Terry L Krueger/DXSF via Jihad Dx) CUBA RHC La Habana, I wish to pass along the following data about our SSB broadcasts. Radio Habana Cuba starting broadcasting using SSB experimentally in 1990. In 1991 we made SSB broadcasts a regular feature of our schedule. Today we use 20 and 30 kW PEP radiotelephone transmitters adapted for 5 kHz audio response , instead of the usual 3.1 kHz bandwidth used in international radiotelephone service. We learned by experimenting that it is best to add 12.5 % carrier, that is -12 dB carrier level. This helps to ZERO BEAT the residual carrier and obtain better reception. The following frequencies are in use: 2200 to 2300 UTC 11960 kHz beaming 041 degrees (Europe) with 20 kw 0100 to 0500 UTC 9830 khz beaming 0 degrees (USA, CAN) with 30 Kw 0500 to 0700 UTC 9830 kHz beaming 041 degrees (Europe) with 30 Kw.

I heard typical slow Tibetan folk music, only two announcements by female speaker between this half hour. No ID, so only tentative. A new one for me, because between my stay in Tibet two years ago the transmitter in Leh were not on the air and between my first journey to so called "Western Tibet" in 1982 were no shortwave (broadcast) transmitter located in Leh, only one military radio site 5 kms east of Leh.

(Internet via Usenet) PERU 5486.73 kHz presumed La Reina de la Selva (Chachapoyas); 2342 UTC w/folk mx, TC and saludos. Mentions of sports programming and Chachapoyas. Off suddenly at 2347 UTC. Good signals, Sept.4. 5498.12 kHz Radio Lajas; 0232-0355 UTC w/program of mostly Peruvian huaynos, a number of Ecuadorian pasillos. OM anncr gave TCs and IDs giving fqy as 5500 kHz. Address was given during a request to hear from listeners. It could have been Jiron Recinto Manuel, but this is a guess. The number was definitely 589. The town is Lajas, just west of Chota in Chota province in Cajamarca Depto. Sign off saying they would be back at 7 tomorrow night. Closed with a band melody, not the national anthem. Sept.4. 6420.28 kHz Radio Imperial; 2018 UTC with Ecuadorian folk songs, TCs and IDs as Radio Imperial. Peruvian cumbia pop. I imagine that this is Radio Imperial from Huancabamba, moved from 6544 kHz, but signals were very poor. Considering the constant state of flux of radio in northern Peru, I'm not assuming anything.

The one of greatest interest to you and your readers would be a new DX Radio program. I do not have a start date or title, but I will get it to you as soon as I can. It is in development at this writing. This is something new and should be better than the others including Glenn Hauser's program. I believe listeners will really like it. By the time this information goes to print it should already be on the air. It is my hope to have it on air in September 1995. So tell your readers to be listening for it on WHRI/KWHR. Also Radio Marti has now added Saturday with us. They airing on WHRI Angel 1 on 9495 kHz from 0100-0400 UTC Mon-Sat, 6 days a week.

After a lapse of several years, a weekly 15 minute DX programme will recommence over Trans World Radio Pacific (KTWR) beginning on Saturday 30 September. The feature will be titled "Pacific DX Report" and will be hosted by Wayne Frost, programme Director of KTWR. Wayne has had extensive experience over some 20 years in broadcasting production, the last seven being with KTWR. PDXR will be heard on Saturdays and repeated on the following Monday Australian news and information will be provided exclusively by ARDXC, with other sources being used for a balanced and topical coverage of DX material. The new programme will concentrate on the provision of timely and accurate information of value to DX enthusiasts, with technical input being provided from KTWR engineering personnel as co-hosts. ARDXC has been working very closely with Wayne in forming up this new programme, and members may be aware that ARDXC provided a monthly segment for KTWR several years ago under the byline of the "DX Newsline". The programme will be broadcast within one week of production, to maintain newsworthiness and topicality. The news items provided by ARDXC will be acknowledged accordingly on air, and full data ARDXC QSLs will be issued for correct reports received for the ARDXC segment. These reports should be sent to ARDXC, Box 227, Box Hill, Victoria 3128, Australia, and return postage should be included (two IRC's, US$2.00, or three 45c Australian stamps). All reports for the ARDXC component will be onforwarded to KTWR in Guam for consideration for the KTWR QSL. Email and FAXed reports will also be accepted for the ARDXC component, at these addresses: Email: (CompuServe) 100026,262 (Bob Padula) (INTERNET) 100026.262@compuserve.com (Bob Padula) FAX: +61 3 9898 2906

Obviously, the requirement for return postage can be dispensed with for Emailed or FAXed reports! Reports for the entire programme should NOT be sent to ARDXC, and should be forwarded directly to KTWR. The ARDXC QSL will ONLY be issued in respect of information specifically identified as originating from ARDXC in the programme. ARDXC applauds the initiative of KTWR in reintroducing the DX programme, as we believe that there is a very real need for such a broadcast, with a high local content and flavour, unlike the syndicated releases offered by other shortwave broadcasters in the region. KTWR also advises that it is issuing a new QSL card during for the Fall period, to be followed by different cards each quarter. A special monthly segment will be "The DX Club of the Month", with the ARDXC being featured during October. Reports for any of KTWR's programmes, should be sent to KTWR, Box CC, Agana, Guam 96910-8980, USA. The first edition of Pacific DX Report may be heard in the English transmission as follows: Saturday 30 September South Asia 0815 on 15200; Saturday 30 September South Pacific 0940 on 11830; Monday 2 October South Asia 1615 on 11580. The same transmission pattern will be followed on a weekly basis, with the first edition being broadcast on Saturdays.

The October edition of BBC Worldwide Magazine has arrived here, and the following may be of interest to BBC WS listeners who receive their copies late. There are quite a few frequency changes for the stream in English for the Americas, the new winter shortwave schedule (excluding channels beamed towards South America) is as follows, all times being GMT/UTC: To N. America: 0000-0800: 5975 kHz 0230-0430: 9590 kHz 1100-1400: 5965 kHz 1300-1600: 9515 kHz 1400-1600: 15260 kHz 1400-1900: 17840 kHz 1600-1715: 9515 kHz (not daily) 2200-0100: 9590 kHz 2200-0800: 6175 kHz To Caribbean/Central America/Mexico: 0000-0600: 5975 kHz 0030-0430: 9590 kHz 0430-0800: 6175 kHz 1000-1400: 6195 kHz 1100-1400: 15220 kHz 1400-1900: 17840 kHz 2100-0800: 5975 kHz 2300-0230: 7325 kHz

USENET News Incidentally, Internet users might be interested in the following two new weekly series: A Week on the Web (15 mins, from Oct 3rd). For Americas on Tuesdays 1630 & 2230, and Wednesdays 0315. Soundbyte (15 mins, from Oct 4th). For Americas on Wednesdays 1145 and Fridays 0345, 1430 & 2230. For listeners in Europe, the evening edition of Europe Today will go out 7 days a week at the earlier time of 1700. It looks as though transmissions in Greek and Finnish will finally disappear altogether from shortwave; Greek is still listed on satellite only, but there's no mention at all of Finnish. On a brighter note, the Bengali service gets an extra half hour daily at 0800-0830 on 15360, 17655 and 17790 kHz; Sinhala increases to half an hour every day; and from October 30th an increase is scheduled for Ukrainian to 90 minutes daily Mon-Fri and 2 hours daily Sat-Sun. There's also a new transmission in French to Africa at 1200-1230 on 15105, 15420, 17760 and 21640, with a corresponding cutback in the early morning transmission which begins at 0500 instead of 0430. For Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific, 7145 kHz is listed for 0600-0815 in English. (Alan Davies, Cambridge, UK. : a.davies@bbcnc.org.uk) BBCMS - BBC Monitoring Service seeks help with unid Romanian-language station. Reply-To: chris_greenway@mon.bbc.co.uk Since 13th September BBCMS has been hearing an unidentified Romanian-language station with irregular transmissions on 14201.5 kHz USB. Although in the 20-metre amateur band and using USB, it is NOT an amateur station, although it might be an amateur relaying a broadcast station. The overall flavour of the station is "military". Programming includes Romanian folk music, military/patriotic music and spoken material in Romanian. At least one of the announcers has a Moldovan accent. The spoken material has included a news bulletin and a commentary on the situation in Bosnia, criticizing the NATO air raids. The news included items about the Russian armed forces. No station IDs have been heard. It is possible that it may be attempting to play a role in the situation regarding the breakaway Russian-speaking Dnestr region of Moldova. It's not a "pirate", but a professional sounding station. We've heard it in the mornings from as early as 0530 until as late as 1100 GMT. Transmissions are very erratic, ending very abruptly. Some days it's not there at all, some days only for a few minutes. Reception is generally fair to good in the UK. BBCM will get to the bottom of the mystery in the end, but we'd welcome any observations/comments/suggestions. I promise to let you know the outcome.

Henrik says he just had a breakthrough last week, thanks to a book he was given listing Peruvian Roman Catholic saints. There is a San Franciso Solano. Listening back to the tape, that is certainly what they are IDing as. Henrik adds that, thanks to the fact that the incredibly fast-speaking announcer isn't the only one at the station, he has been able to distinguish the rest of the ID: "La Voz de la Parroquia San Miguel de Sondor y Sondorillo."

Direction-finding exercises on two separate occasions have indicated that the transmitter is located within Romania, possibly in the Bucharest area. The identity of the station remains unknown. It now seems likely that it is a non-broadcast operation, which nevertheless carries material broadcast by Radio Romania. The station appears to have switched frequency to 14814 kHz USB. It was first heard on this frequency on 21st September when it was heard signing off at 1358 GMT with the announcement "Aici Morgana receptie" ("This is Morgana receiving"). The meaning of this announcement, which was also heard when the station closed at 0700 GMT on 26th September, is unclear. Although the station was heard transmitting on 14201.5 kHz USB at 0600-0700 GMT on 22nd September, since then it has only been heard on 14814 kHz USB. Amongst the material carried by the station has been what appears to be a recording of the "Army Hour" (Romanian: "Ora Armatei") programme broadcast by the Romania-Actualitati service (the first domestic network of state-run Radio Romania). However, most of the time only continuous Romanian folk music is played, interrupted occasionally by a tone. Further as warranted (as my US "partners" say).

(McVicar-EQA) GERMANY / SRI LANKA Deutsche Welle (DW) will pull out its 13 German employees from its Trincomalee relay station in Sri Lanka on 16th September. The decision, taken in agreement with DW's board of governors by the managing director of the German external broadcaster, Dieter Weirich, was announced by the latter on 15th September. According to Weirich, the tense security situation in the northeastern part of this Indian Ocean island is the reason for this decision. Fighting has regularly flared up near the relay station since the cease-fire agreement in Sri Lanka broke down on 19th April 1995. It is well known that a large offensive by government forces against the separatist Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) organization is about to be launched. As LTTE retaliation in the form of more violent terrorist attacks in the east of Sri Lanka is likely, a deterioration of the security situation near Trincomalee is to be expected. DW staff will stay in the capital Colombo, said Weirich. To prevent destruction to the technical installation and looting, the station's perimeter will be protected from outside by the army. Local staff and security guards will remain on the site to maintain its operational capability. Weirich announced that DW would hire 16.5 hours of airtime [per day] in Russia from 16th September to boost signals sent from DW's European transmitters in order to guarantee the presence of DW programs in the most important target areas after the closing down of the Trincomalee relay station, (DW) HUNGARY R Budapest announced following German schedule: 1830-1900 UTC 3975 5925 7255 9805 kHz. 2030-2100 UTC 3975 5970 7185 9835 kHz.

(Ed Kusalik Numero Uno, DX Ontario, Naswa) Victor Goonetilleke advises, however, that the 12.5 kW transmitter on 6035 kHz remains in use by the SLBC for an unofficial service in Tamil at 1315+ which is sponsored by the EPDP group, an association of all Tamil militant groups supporting the government against the LTTE extremists. The program is on the 400 kW MW transmitter at Puttalam - 882 kHz, which is now controlled by the SLBC, at 0900-1315 UTC. It then switches to 6035 at 1315 UTC because TWR has airtime on 882 MW at 1330-1900 UTC.

(WB) CZECH REPUBLIC Radio Alfa, one of the nationwide FM commercial radio stations, closes due to its financial situation and a new "Radio Nov Alfa" - Radio New Alfa - starts on October 2, 1995. The new owner of the station - - CME-Central European Media Enterprises, a Bermuda based company - already owns the most succesfull TV station in the Czech Republic - NOVA TV (commercial). (Karel Honzik - DX REVUE of the CSDXC) This country completely disappeared from the East Europe FM band (called the OIRT band - 66-73 MHz). All transmitters have been retuned to the European FM band of 87-108 MHz. It was done during last two years. (Karel Honzik - DX REVUE of the CSDXC) Radio ECHO, a private station on MW (a.o. 1233 kHz) which "interrupted" its activity on July 31, 1995, will not return as it is almost sure that the station looses its licence. Czech Radio (Cesky rozhlas, CRo) already applied for the frequencies. (Karel Honzik - DX REVUE of the CSDXC) Radio Free Europe / Radio Liberty officially opened their broadcasting center in Praha (Prague). Because of the high costs in Munich, Germany, the two radio stations moved to the capital of the Czech Republic.

in Czech appeared, but it is unclear if they will continue as there is no good signal in the western part of the Czech Republic and it does not seem to be a good substitute for excellent signal on 1296 kHz from Great Britain itself*.

The programme on 7 October contained the "ARDXC Report", which was the first in the series "DX Club of the Month". We are providing information on a weekly basis for PDXR, and segments attributed to ARDXC are eligible for the special ARDXC QSLs. Reception in Australia and the Pacific region for the 0815 release on 15200, and the 0940 edition on 11830 is reported as excellent. The service on 11580 at 1615 (Mondays) is satisfactory in the target area of South Asia. Initial Emailed reports from Europe advise that the 11580 transmission is unsatisfactory, due to co-channel WEWN. Reception at 0815 on 15200 was very poor, and 11830 was inaudible at 0940, whilst no trace on 11580 (except WEWN). Martin Elbe in Germany, advised that 15200 was very weak, and 11830 was co-channel with the Brazilian station Radio Anhanguera. KTWR's primary zones exclude Europe and Africa, so there's little that can be done about frequency choices or timings to suit the DXing community there.

This freq would replace 7435, possibly late at night, to allow reliable propagation where 7 MHz is too high during darkness hours. Station may also use 120 metre band, possibly when the 4th txer becomes available, tentatively on 15 December. Txer is now being built at Continental, Dallas TX. (WoR GH) Effective 24 September, all Voice of America SW broadcasts to Europe were to have been eliminated. SW pxs in Bulgarian, Latvian, Polish and Czech were also to be terminated. Radio Liberty/Radio Free Europe was also to cancel some SW services. The cuts were due to budget constraints. Savings were being made by reducing SW txions rather than cutting personnel. Pxs will continue on MW and/or affiliates. Station advised that research indicated that there are insufficient listeners to VOA on SW in Europe. SW services remain on air for the ME and NoAf. SW services continues in Albanian, Croatian, Hungarian, Romanian, Russian, Serbian and Slovak. (VOA Communications World via BBCM, and BBCM research). (Looking good now...many SW frequencies now vacant! Seems that if VOA/USA is running out of cash, they should look to the religious broadcasters to hire time on those unused txers! - Bob Padula ARDXC) vy73 de Wolfgang DF5SX @DB0LX.#BW.DEU.EU - CompuServe 100523,3446

They are planning transmitting from two different satellites by the end of this year. Hopefully, the programming will consist primarily of the regular line-up, but reformatted for better use in the AM/FM market. Some new shows will be added for this particular medium. In future they hope to procure and broadcast programmes in many different languages, but for now they do not have the resources to do both.

(MamaDX MA via Jihad Dx) RUSSIA New Kurdish clandestine radio station observed testing on 9855, 11985, and 15255 kHz, continous playing Kurdish mx. May originating from Russian tx site. Station has close ties to Kurdish Satellite TV station, bc from London. New Kurdish clandestine radio is on the air. The schedule is: 0800-1100 and 1300-1600 GMT on 9855, 11985 and 15255 kHz. At present it just seems to be testing with continuous Kurdish music.

We understand that the station will call itself Denge Medya, which means Voice of the Medes. (Medes is an ancient name for the Kurdish people - the Bible has references to the "Medes and the Persians".) It is possible that this radio station is linked to MED-TV, a Kurdish satellite TV station which broadcast to the Middle East from London. The signal on 9855 kHz is good in the UK, suggesting that this is not a traditional clandestine operation with amateur equipment but that it is using high-power transmitters. Possibly hired transmitters in Russia? (Greenway, BBCMS via HCJB DXPL) SUDAN Omdurman has moved down to 9024/9025 to block the Voice of Sudan clandestine station which began broadcasting in August. Voice of Sudan is on at 1300-1500 GMT, and until recently Omdurman had just been using 9025 for that period, and then moving back to 9200. But now it seems to be remaining on 9025 for the rest of the day.

We also plan to attend the European DX Council Conference in Florence, Italy on April 26-29, 1996 to meet more shortwave listeners. A lot of listeners have been responding positively to our DX programs and segments for shortwave listeners. In English, we present "Wavescan" several times each week, as well as other DX news within "Viva Miami" daily. In Spanish, we include a segment called "Con Frecuencia" at least once a week.

This segment is produced by Ruben Guillermo Margenet in Rosario, Argentina (who incidentally is in Korea at the moment enjoying a trip he won in a contest from Radio Korea!). We also hope to have a new Spanish-language edition of "Wavescan" beginning soon. We already have an occasional Portuguese-language DX program called "Encontro DX," produced by Cassiano Macedo in Sao Paulo, Brazil. "Con Frecuencia" and "Encontro DX" are aired during "Viva Miami." By the way, at the request of many listeners in Brazil, we are studying the possibility of beginning regular Portuguese-language transmissions in the near future. As for other future plans, we are considering the installation of another antenna for better coverage of North America at certain times of the day. Many of you are probably familiar with our sister station in Honduras, Radio Copan International on 15,675 kHz. Oct. 31, 1995 is the final day for transmissions of Radio Copan on that frequency. The station will be off the air for a few months or so while a new transmitter and antenna are being installed, and it will likely return to the air on a new lower frequency for better coverage of North America at night. Meanwhile, as of Nov. 1, all of the programs previously heard on Radio Copan are being incorporated into this new WRMI schedule. We'll keep you updated on further changes. For now, all the best and 73. vy73 de Wolfgang DF5SX @DB0LX.#BW.DEU.EU - CompuServe 100523,3446

Iraq/Iran - "Voice of the Ahwaz Revolution" of Arab Front for the Liberation of Ahwaz in Iran. This radio station, which operates from a MW transmitter in Iraq, is aimed at listeners in the Iranian province of Khuzestan (which has a large Arab population). Its broadcasts support Iraq and call for the "Liberation" of Khuzestan from Iranian rule. It was first monitored in 1981, at which time it called itself "Voice of Qadisiyah" (the site of a military victory by the Arabs over the Persians in 633 AD) and claimed to be broadcasting from Ahwaz (the capital of Khuzestan; known in Persian as Ahvaz). It said it was broadcasting on behalf of the Arab Front for the Liberation of Ahwaz. In Jan 1983 the station was observed to have changed its name to Voice of the Ahwaz Revolution (Arabic: Sawt al-Thawrah al-Ahwaziyah). Frequencies used during the 1980s included 858, 1440 and 1224 kHz. It was heard again in Oct 1995 for the first time since Jan 1988. Now on 1044 kHz at 1600-1800 UTC in Arabic language.

(Kim Elliot in VoA Communications World, Nov 11) GERMANY/CROATIA Croatia unhappy with dropping of special Croatian broadcasts by Germany's WDR radio Cologne. The Croatian embassy in Bonn asked the German Foreign Ministry for an explanation as regards the cancellation of a special radio broadcast in the Croatian language which from 1992 had been produced and broadcast by the radio station Westdeutscher Rundfunk (WDR), a statement from the Croatian embassy in Bonn said. The Croats who live in Germany have in this way been deprived of a very important right, the statement said. The Croatian embassy was especially concerned about an unacceptable and artificial integration of the Croatian singularity into the current broadcast entitled " Programme for Fellow-Citizens from Croatia, Bosnia and Serbia" . The embassy said it expected that a special programme in Croatian would continue to be broadcast. On 30th August 1995 Deutsche Welle announced that its special programme about missing persons from Yugoslavia would be rebroadcast daily by WDR following its regular programme in Serbian and Croatian. DW's programmes about missing persons from former Yugoslavia to be broadcast in Bavaria. Excerpt from Deutsche Welle press release Deutsche Welle's special announcements about

missing persons from the former Yugoslavia are to be received for 15 minutes every day on mediumwave in the reception area of Bayerischer Rundfunk-BR -Bavarian Radio-. This was announced by DW's programme director, Mr. Joseph M. Gerwald, in Cologne on 17th October 1995. BR becomes the third German public broadcaster station, after WDR Cologne and SFB/Radio Multi-Kulti Berlin to rebroadcast this special DW service. BR broadcasts the programme on 801 kHz mediumwave every day between 2120 and 2135 UTC at the end of its foreign-language programme. Some 70,000 refugees from the former Yugoslavia living in BR's reception area will thus be able to receive information concerning relatives and friends. The aim of these special programmes of the German external broadcaster is to bring together relatives and friends, neighbours and acquaintances of the victims of the war living in Europe, especially in the war-torn region...

(WB Nov 18) KOREA D.P.R. For many years two of the frequencies used by Radio Pyongyang, have been on odd 6576 and 9977 kHz. Unlike the overwhelming majority of channels used in international shortwave broadcasting, they were unusual in that their frequencies did not end in a zero or a five. Radio Pyongyang has brought these two channels into line and is now transmitting on 6575 and 9975 kHz. RP had been using the two "off-channel" frequencies of 6576 and 9977 kHz for over 20 years. (BBCMS) NETHERLANDS 'Media Network' of Radio Netherlands reported 'Veronica Nieuws Radio' on 1395 kHz had started full schedule on 16th October, 1995. Frequency is used by a high-power transmitter in Albania at Durres Fillake too, for decades. MN interviewed the managing director of technical affairs and radio for the Holland Media Group (PTT), which operates Veronica radio, about how this mutual interference problem was being solved. Is using a new, US-made 120-kW Harris transmitter. However, it was currently only operating at 50 kW. In order to avoid intereference between the stations in the Netherlands and Albania they were sharing the channel by using it at different times. We are looking for a new frequency. And we found a couple of solutions, let's say 702, 720? kHz, frequencies not used in the region. We have lengthy discussion with Germans, with British people and in Austria to see if we can use their frequency they no longer occupy. It was hoped that the problem would be solved in around two to three months.

There are two other, rival, "Radio Mogadishu" factional stations operating on shortwave: "Voice of the Somali Republic" (which supports Ali Mahdi Muhammad) and "Voice of the Masses of the Somali Republic" (which supports Muhammad Farah Aydid).

Murley says that "the station complete with an old Hallicrafters S-38 rx took a direct mortar hit from Mexican federal fire in a skirmish in northeastern Chiapas this summer, while in standy use for military traffic. Prior to returning to the air, it will have to be fully reequipped. The ratio of military to pirate traffic has not been to hobbyist satisfaction since the Federal ground campaigns of the winter and spring, when military needs preempted use" Murley has yet another description of his drop results: "only seven North Americans and one German Tourist (who picked it up in San Cristobal de Las Casa on a Grundig portable) reported reception of Chiapas Libre accurately. The distance record was by a NYC man vacationing in Key West, Florida. The three final reports all featured military content rather than propaganda in programming.. Though Chiapas Libre tried both the fringes of the ham 80 and 160 meter bands, it aired largely on the 39 meter edges of the ham's 40 meter band."

The polish pirate station - on 9670 kHz, just before R Polonia came on the air, BUT Warsaw isn't scheduled here !!! Vatican Radio mass in Polish is scheduled Sundays at 1500-1630 UTC on 9645 kHz. Vatican Amharic is on 9660 kHz. 9670 kHz is a frequency of DW / RTE Sines Portugal for Voice of Orthodoxy on weekends, occupied for decades now. Bill is payed by MiddleEUR -- let say German evangelic church. See WRTH under POR also. For approx. one or two years now, an unidentified Polish (evangelic?) church could be heard irregularly on 9745 kHz(last year), now on 9670 kHz(?), at weekends in about 1600 to 1730 UTC time range, depending of availibility of the (third) DW Sines tx (summer and winter schedule different). Due my poor knowledge of fluent (hi) Polish, I could understand only, that two addresses were given, one in London, the other in Krakow Poland. Radio Maryja has an address in Torun Poland. Today in the afternoon, I came (unwanted) accross the 9670 kHz channel at approx. 1630 UTC and could listen to a divine service in Polish here, suddenly covered by Sveriges Radio 9670 kHz starting at 1645 to 1715 UTC in Swedish!!! The devine service could be heard underneath. Listener audience in DEN and POL are more located in the DEAD zone of Hoerby txs, so have a better chance to get an 100 per cent identification.

Dan Ferguson of VOA last Sunday told me that there is no further news and that the tests at the International Broadcasting Bureau's Sao Tome relay are not scheduled events. They are at the stage of needing to test transmitters and antennas. Tests at this stage are likely to be very short transmissions. They have a set of frequencies, with times they can use them, selected to avoid interference to existing transmissions. The most likely time for testing is during normal daylight working hours. So any test transmissions at this stage will likely be very irregular, and of short duration. Here are SOME of the frequencies that may be used. There are others, in other bands, but Don doesn't have those at hand. 13770, 13740, 13710, 13680, 4985, 4950, 4860, 4785 kHz.

Whether Radio Canada International will continue to exist will be decided in the next few hours. The decision can only be finalized by the Canadian Prime Minister and the federal cabinet, and comes, ironically enough, as RCI celebrates its 50th anniversary of service. The coalition to Restore Full RCI Funding, with the support of the Canadian International DX Club and the unions representing RCI employees today called on the government to stop any attempt to shut the service down, and to assure a separate, protected annual budget to guarantee the service's existence. This urgent appeal to the government comes days after the CBC Board of Directors decided to shut the international service down, and CBC human resources was poised to send termination letters to all RCI employees. Although halted temporarily, it appears the termination letters will in fact be sent this week, and the service closed down, unless the government steps in. Around the world 126 countries broadcast internationally, yet Canada with this decision would turn its back on the world and become the only G7 member not to have an international radio service. For this reason, and for the standing and economic benefit of Canada, the coalition calls on the Prime Minister and the federal cabinet to assure an annual budget of at least 16 millions dollars, guaranteed and protected from sudden cuts. Please contact Coalition spokespersons: Wojtek Gwiazda (514) 597-7350 or (514) 844-2262 Daniel Black (514) 595-7577 or (514) 495-9030 or by E-mail at rci@cam.org You can also send E-mail supporting RCI at the following persons: Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chretien at: remote-printer.Jean_Chretien@16139416900.iddd.tpc.int or/and Canadian Minister of Foreign Affairs Andre Ouellet at: remote-printer.Andre_Ouellet@16139959926.iddd.tpc.int

(Noel Green-UK via DSWCI) USA World Harvest Radio will begin a new DX Radio program "CUMBRE DX" on Friday Dec 29th, 2330 UTC. Joseph Brashier in a letter of Dec 21 explained: The program idea was developed by myself (Joseph Brashier) and friends Euliss Flemming and Hans Johnson at my suggestion. The program itself was then developed by Marie Lamb who is host. Marie also does work for Passport to World Band Radio and a report for the NASWA on HCJB in Quito-EQA. This should turn out to be the best DX program on the air. Be sure to tune in.
