DX MAGAZINE No. 3 U Vol. XLIX U March 2014

Hello again,

Welcome to another issue of our DX MAGAZINE. Our NEWS EDITOR Walter Eibl has recentlysuggested that we should establish a separate mediumwave news section in our DX MAGAZINE. This wouldneed a separate new editor for this section. If anyone among you is a mediumwave specialist and is willingto compile this new section for us, please do not hesitate to contact me.

And now let's start with our usual news from outside the club - only one item this month:

The EUROPEAN DX COUNCIL would like to invite you to the EDXC Conference 2014 to be heldin the Southern France on 19-22 September 2014. The first part of the conference (19-21 September) willtake place in a beautiful small village Saint-Dalmas de Tende situated approximately 80 km North-East fromNice. The latter part of the conference (21-22 September) will take place in the city of Nice.

It is understandable that people are coming from and going to different places and different times.That is why we will try to be very flexible with the conference packages. The price for the basic package willbe around 175 € (single) / 120 € (double) including: Accommodation (2 nights in Saint-Dalmas de Tende),Banquet dinner, 2 Coffee breaks and the Conference fee.

If you have anything to ask, please, do not hesitate to contact Kari <[email protected]> or the mainorganizer Mr. Christian Ghibaudo <[email protected]>.

More information and the preliminary programme can be found also on the EDXC blog at:<http://edxcnews.wordpress.com/category/edxc-conference-2014>.

Once again, we would like to see you at EDXC conference 2014 in September. You arewarmly welcome! (Kari Kivekäs, Secretary General of EDXC)

And with this best wishes and good DX until next month from

7Und jetzt kommt auch noch QRM von aussen dazu. Uncle Sam in Gestalt von RMI Jeff White hat bei der HFCC denNachbarkanal 5030 kHz 24hrs ab dem 9. März registriert. Hierbei könnte es sich um ein Radio RepublicaOppositionsprogramm handeln. Es gibt doch genügend andere Kanäle zur Nutzung. Jedenfalls mal wieder einbizarrer unfreundlicher Akt gegenüber Kuba. (wb)

CUBA [and non] - Confusion reigns at RHC, but that's nothing new; only exacerbated by the imposition ofdaylight-shifting by Yanqui Imperialism (ha ha, the Cubans certainly didn't have to go along with it on exact sameschedule as USA; in fact, it's rather pointless in the tropix with less variation in sunrise/sunset times).

In last report I found that on first day of DST, March 9, RHC had moved its Spanish morning schedule one UT hourearlier to end at 1500 UT (and presumably start at 1100). Based on behavior in previous DST seasons, I was alsoexpecting the 20-21 UT first English broadcast of the day on 11760 kHz to shift to 19-20 UT but nothing there at1905 UT. Not recheckeduntil 1937 UT, and *now* it's on with mailbag, so off to a late start clueless RadioCuba operator may have neededreminding to turn the transmitter on an hour earlier by UT even tho it's same local clock time as before. Got with iton March 10 recheck, 11760 kHz already going at 1902 UT, but more daytime absorption. Off the air after 2000 UTsince there's no French now until 2200 instead of 2100 UT which used to follow English, // 11880 kHz.

Further chex on March 9: European service is still on 13680 kHz, at 1940 UT in French; carrier was on way earlycirca 1910 UT. After 2000 UT in Portuguese too as before. Presumably 2030 UT Arabic, unchecked.

Did not check around 2100 UT, but assumed 13680 kHz and other frequencies would be on an hour earlier insteadof from 2200. This did cause 'En Contacto', the DX program to show up at its summer timing of 2244.5 instead of2340v, as heard best on 13680 kHz, also on 11840 kHz VG level but undermodulated; 9810 kHz poor, 9710 kHzfair. So despite missing its Sunday morning airing which should have been at 1335 UT, show still exists, with thisedition being #10 for 2014y: only two birthdays to celebrate, then clip of R. Mil XEOY/XEOI; rerun of perennialRuben Guillermo Margenet 'Efemerides' this week in radio history, starting with PCJ being heard in Saba on 11-12March 1927.

Tuning in 13680 kHz a bit earlier, at 2240 UT the Filatelia show was running another quiz; 2243 UT RHC self-promotion with a clip of Fidel about the inauguration of SWBC back on 1961y, and then multi-lingual IDs, includingtwo incomprehensible ones, ergo *still* not only Quechua, but also Guarani which was deleted years ago.

Next day March 10 checked at 2102 UT, and confirmed 13680, 11840 undermodulated, 9810 very poor, 9710 kHzpoor, all on the air by this hour now; 5040 kHz could also be on this early but inaudible. It is audible by 2212, poor inhigh noise level, Spanish.

13780 on March 10 at 2217 UT, RHC VG in Spanish, but not // 13680 kHz; then found 13780 // weak 6000 kHz, sothose are the separate 'Mesa Redonda' TV simulcast, starting as early as 2200 UT now.

The African service during standard-time season had been on 11880 kHz at 2100 French, 2130 Portuguese, 2200-2300 UT English. You might assume any change for summer would be one UT hour earlier, but like last summer,these have moved an hour *later*: March 9 at 2230 UT confirmed opening Portuguese, noting that the music is notdistorted but the speech is, and it's running about 6 seconds behind another PP playout on 15230 kHz (which asheard March 10 at 2215 UT has additional Portuguese in the previous semihour, also undermodulated; prepeat?).First talking about Amerigo Vespucci, presumably another day-in-history item. And English confirmed now from2300 UT and // 5040 kHz which is just becoming audible. However, next day March 10 at 2214 UT, 11880 kHz ismissing, and no replacement found anywhere on 11 thru 17 MHz bands. Meant to check whether it was on by 2300UT for English, but missed it.

March 9 being Sunday, I also check 15370 kHz at 2235 UT, and find Esperanto is still running then, butundermodulated, crackled and distorted, and with some understation, per Aoki KSDA in Chinese during this hour toits northwest. Not surprising, as at this time, KSDA is a regular with 'Wavescan' on clear 15320 kHz, at 2236 UTcheck.

5040 kHz on March 10 at 0552 UTHC English service with music // 6000, 6060, 6100, 6165 kHz, but 5040 goes todead air by 0600 UT, and off by 0602 UT, while the 4 x 6 MHz overkills resume another hour of English with IS.

9850 kHz on March 10 at 1247 UT, RHC Spanish modulation is cutting out; wiggle that patchcord. This frequencyabout to go off, but at 1304 check of 19m, the new frequency first heard yesterday, 15370 kHz is gone again, andinstead back on 13780 kHz, as well as 15340 kHz mixing with HCJB. So was 15370 kHz a mistake (on their rosterfor tarde services), or an experiment by self-styled propagation expert Arnie Coro? +Que sera? +Quien sabe?

17730 on March 10 at 1403 UT and later, today's AWOL frequency, while 17580 kHz is on; not sure whether I washearing 17730 an hour earlier. At 1405 UT on 15230 kHz has fair signal but JBM.(gh USA, dxld March 11)

8RHC Sunday only Esperanto service at 0700-0730 UT March 2nd, logged on two channels, like 6000 kHzS=9+20dB in NY-USA, and much stronger on 6100 kHz at S=9+40dB level (wb, wwdxc BC-DX TopNews March 2)

ECUADOR - Voz Andes Media wird seine deutsche Sendung für Südamerika (2300-2330 auf 9835 kHz ausNauen) Ende Juni aufgeben.

(Harald Kuhl 13.3.2014)

ETHIOPIA - 5950, March 1 at 0259, apparent IS, repetitive fiddle tune, more melodic than your usual Horn ofAfrica music, poor signal, presumed V. of Tigray Revolution at sign-on time. Enjoy this while you can, as WRMI hasregistered 5950 for 24-hour usage in A-14; while unlikely to use all of it, most likely will be on in our evenings likeWYFR/RTI were.

6110, March 1 at 0257, chime IS, poor signal, 0259 heard English words ``Broadcasting Corporation`` amid sign-onin other language, surely R. Fana, in Oromo or Amharic. In fact, WRTH shows its full name is Fana BroadcastingCorporation (private). Lhasa and New Delhi are also scheduled, but well into daytime there. (gh, WOR 1711, DXLD)

These two and 6030 R. Oromiya as well in the past months seemed to be much weaker in average than in previousyears. 6090 Amhara and 7210 Fana inactive and 7237v the only frequency left for Radio Ethiopia, with very lowmodulation. So it seems there are only four transmitters active, while about three to five years ago, at least a dozenwere used at certain times. And probably the remaining ones are on much lower power?

INDIA - 4820/7210 AIR Kolkata SW gets lifeline.

Howeverdue to protest from AIR technical employees union (Association of Radio & TV Engineering Employees), the samehas been differed. So AIR Kolkata SW operating with 50 kW on 4820 & 7210 kHz has got a life line for the timebeing. The correspondence is available in their website (including report received from Australian listener!)<http://www.arteeindia.org/ http://www.arteeindia.org/>Maybe the same case with other AIR SW Regional transmitters.(Jose Jacob-IND VU2JOS, DXindia Febr 21)

In cutbacks 3 years ago, the BBC eliminated more than 500 jobs, closed five language services,ended radio broadcasts in seven languages, and reduced short and medium-wave transmissions<http://www.theguardian.com/media/2014/feb/19/bbc-world-service-reduce-shortwave-peter-horrocks>(via W0WOI, Feb 27, WOR 1711, DXLD)

… I know the pre-recorded test audio did ask for reports, but we don't actually need reports for that test thisafternoon (although we will of course verify any that are received). The purpose of the test (which continued forseveral hours after our regular sign-off at 2000 UTC Monday) was for our engineering staff to be able to work onsome of the technical issues we have been experiencing. We take Glenn's and others' comments seriously, andhave implemented filtering to better restrict the bandwidth of our signals (on both 17775 and 9975 kHz). We werealso working on the unintentional 'reverb' sound Glenn commented on a week or two ago, and have at leastidentified next steps needed to address that. It requires more equipment, so can't be fixed instantly, but hopefullyvery soon.Ray Robinson, Operations ManagerKVOH - Voice of Hope / Voz de EsperanzaP.O.Box 102, Los Angeles, CA 90078, USA. <http://www.kvoh.net http://www.kvoh.net>(dxld March 4)

7290.0 ROMANIA. Radio city via IRRS-Tiganesti, 1944-1957* Feb 14, deep, gravelly voiced man announcer – who was difficult to understand - with brief talkin English hosting program of oldies.

Dear Friends,

Welcome to the March edition of Logbook. We have a shorter edition this month.I request our members to please check the dates are properly indicated in the loggings submitted.It would be a lot easier if the logging date is mentioned in the format as DDMM i.e. Feb. 28 as 2802.It is not necessary to indicate the year which can save you some time.In the ITU country code it is the location of the transmitter that has to be mentioned and not the origin ofthe Radio station. So if Deutsche Welle signals are heard from the Kigali relay in Rwanda the ITU should beRRW instead of D and the station details mentioned as Deutsche Welle relay.For those members who are not sure of the transmitter location I will take care at my end.Last last month I forgot Richard Lemke in the list of contributors although I included his loggings.I thank Richard for pointing this error caused by me within a few hours of the release of the electronic editionof DX magazine.

Till next time,

Ashok Kumar Bose

Dear Friends,

With great pleasure I received some contributions and I thank those members that send them even if theyare the same people as in the last couple of months. I should like to receive contributions also from othersubscribers that read this monthly magazine. In fact, I think, that everyone can send his contributions tothe QSL pages so that it is possible to continue to print this section in the DX journal 'DX MAGAZINE'regularly. We hope that in the next editions the contributions can be larger and I remember that the nextcontribution deadline is on April 12th, 2014. Naturally I’m grateful to receive copies of QSL Cards in .jpgformat to insert them eventually on the page.

NOTE: When you received normal QSLs by mail please write in your contribution “QSL”, while if youreceived any Electronic Card please inform in this way: “e-QSL” card. Thanks in advance,

Dario
