3815  Kalaalit Nunaata Radioa, Tasiilaq at 2120-2215 UT on Mar
4, there was a signal rising above the local noise. I could not ID the
lang for sure, but it did not sound in Danish then - but did after 2200. I
hoped KNR might carry the DR nx at 2200 but it was not // 243, and 1062
was also different. The 3815 signal must have been at least 4 S points
when at its best, and would have been a useful signal but for the local
racket. I also tried for the Greenland MW station using 650, but there was
no propagation. I am told by a listener to Beacons that stations in
Greenland as well as Newfoundland and Nova Scotia - as well as one in
Quebec - have been logged after around 2130 on freqs between 260 and 400
kHz. So, it could be that conditions are "right" for that area currently.

4780 Thanks to a tip of Thorsten Hallmann in Austrian news group
A-DX of 1736 UT, RTD Djibouti is back on 4780 kHz TB tonight. Scheduled
0300-2000 [Fris- 2200 only, acc to WRTH 2005, but RTD left the air at 2000
UT today - even now we have Friday tonight ! ]

Signal is  m u c h  disturbed in southern Germany by an UNKNOWN UTE signal
nearby, so no reliable MP3 recording could be made yet. Monitored around
1800-2000 UT.

Bad reception released on both, Kenwood and Sony rxs, even in SYNC mode.
AOR 7030 set used in SYNC lowerband flank mode at around 4779.6 kHz and set
Pass Band Shift to plus 2.1 kHz, in order to listen in an agreeable sound.

50 kW tropical band tx and a MW tx on 1116 kHz is a gift of US propaganda
organization BBG-IBB to Djibouti in return:

"was supposed to have been built by IBB as part of the deal to establish the
1431 Radio Sawa station [US 600 kW super power propaganda station to SDN,
ETH, ERI, audience wb.]" - see Chris Greenway's mail below.

Existing tropical band antenna has been refurbished already. Envisaged final
opening date was May 2004, but postphoned to March 2005 lately.

4780, 0417-0422, RTD Djibouti Mar 19 Tentative. I didn't learn of
this reactivated outlet until past 0400 tonight, but I presume it was
Djibouti putting in a weak signal anyway, more than one hour past RTD
sunrise. Male announcer in African-sounding language, a brief bit of music,
and that was it. Signal quickly dropped into the noise by 0420. Some swisher
(CODAR) interference. Thanks to Hallmann via Bueschel for tip. (Atkins-WA)

4940, 1440-, China Huayi BC Mar 13 I'm confused.  This is a Chinese 
station, with English programming at fair level, with a relatively thick 
Chinese accents.  'Have you ever been to China?, etc'.  ILG lists Voice of 
the Strait(s) from Fuzhou, whereas DBS lists China Huayi Broadcasting 
Corporation in Chengdu.  I'm leaning towards the latter, but which is 
right? Could not find any parallels.  Signal gradually improved towards the 
TOH.  Perusing my 2000 WRTH notes that both of these stations broadcast to 
Taiwan.  Googling I found at www.schoechi.de/az-chn01.html reference to 
shared QSLs, so there must be some link.  Program ended at 1500 and into 
Chinese again. (Walter Salmaniw, Victoria, BC - Hard-Core-DX 27, 15)

4940, 1442-, Voice of the Strait Mar 18 Very strong reception this

4940, 1434-, Voice of the Strait Mar 19 Fairly strong S9 signal, in

well modulated.  Same theme music as I've heard in other weeks.  Too bad

11690, 0515-, Radio Okapi Mar 10 I'm sure this is the station I have 
been monitoring for 30 minutes now.  About an S8 signal, makes following 
difficult.  As usual anything spoken is down in the mud, while the little 
music that is played is much better heard.  No time pips or anything 
special at 0500.  Mostly ongoing talk, seemingly in French, at least after 
the TOH.  Nothing that I hear has resembled an ID, and certainly nothing 
like the 'Okapi' repeated many times as reported by Dave Valko.  Gradually 
losing strength as I continue to monitor.  Frustrating not to get a 
definite ID! Gradually faded away to subaudible levels.  At 05:55 very 
strong open carrier, and immediately into Hello from Tokyo program.  So I 
have no doubt I must have been listening to Okapi.  Worth trying a bit 
earlier tomorrow. (Salmaniw, Victoria, BC - Hard-Core-DX 27, 15)

11690, 0419-, Radio Okapi Mar 13 Musical 'Okapi' by YL at exactly 
04:19:30.  S9 to S9 + 10 signal.  I'm really having trouble believing this 
is only 10kw.  Another ID at 04:21:45.  'Okapi', not 'Radio Okapi'.  In 
vernacular as I listen.  Mentions of 'democrasiya', 'Congo'.  Best by far 
of the last few days I've listened.  Are we sure this isn't from a 100+kw 
transmitter?  ?Kigala, ?Meyerton, ?Madagascar.  'Okapi' again at 04:26:15. 
Full ID as Radio Okapi at 04:30, and mentioned Hirondelle as well.  Signal 
continues to improve.  Marvellous signal at 04:40 in French. Another full 
excellent ID in French at 04:55.  Further IDs just after the TOH, and 
continued in French programming about 'elections libre'.  Totally about the 
need for free elections in The Democratic Republic of Congo.  Discussion 
between Robert and Walter. (Salmaniw, Victoria, BC - Hard-Core-DX 27, 15)

In its latest newsletter, High Adventure Canada announced short-
term plans for a SW station in Uganda. The station is to be developed in
co-operation with Dunamis FM Kampala, which already holds a licence for
short wave. According to High Adventure, at the National Religious
Broadcasters Convention in Anaheim a deal was struck with the HCJB
engineering plant for the speedy delivery of a low power short wave unit.
The station is hoped to be on the air by summer 2005.

It remains to be seen, whether this schedule can be met. High Adventure
has a pentecostal tradition of "proclaiming victory" long before it
happens.

almost apologetic talk in English about not telling the real story in 
Ukraine before the revolution.  Rarely heard so well on the coast.  Brings 
me back to the days when RUI used far east Russian relays for their service 
to WCNA. (Salmaniw, Victoria, BC - Hard-Core-DX 27, 15)

Индонезия
Here are some observations by Alan Davies.
-Boyolali, C Java:
Radio Bima Sakti moved to 837 kHz, ex-711. I mistakenly conjectured
last year that the station on 837 might be Radio Immanuel, Surakarta.
Radio Karysma moved to FM ex-1080 kHz.
-Delanggu, C Java:
Radio Suara Delanggu Bersinar (Radio Swadesi) moved to 1152 kHz
ex-1131v.
-Jombang, E Java:
Radio Gita Nada is silent on 666 kHz and was last heard in Dec 2004.
It may have moved to FM (possibly 97.4 MHz).
-Kediri, E Java:
A new station is operating on 1458 kHz. The ID sounds like 'Radio
Sega' (as heard, not confirmed).
-Madiun, E Java:
RKPD Madiun is on 1485 kHz.
-Pekanbaru, Riau:
RRI Pekanbaru is inactive on 1116 and 1188 kHz. 927 kHz continues to
operate a split schedule.
-Surakarta [Solo], C Java:
Radio Immanuel is still on 846 kHz.
-Surabaya:
Radio Carolina Arjuno moved to 1117v kHz ex-1080 in late Jan or early
Feb 2005. I haven't heard the frequency announced, so it may be a
deliberate move or a happy accident. Either way it leaves RRI
Singaraja in the clear on 1080 kHz and reduces mixing products with
Radio Sangkakala 1062 kHz, which is located just down the road in the
same neighbourhood of Surabaya.
-Tanjung Pinang, Bintan, Riau Is:
RRI Tanjung Pinang was silent on 1341v kHz when checked from
Singapore, 19-21 Feb. During middle of the day, the mediumwave band in
Singapore was dead except for very weak signals across the South China
Sea from Thoi Long, Vietnam, on 711, 783 and 873 kHz.

Получил QSL карточку от Bangladesh Betar. Срок ожидания: пять с половиной месяцев

и подтверждающую надпись. Стоит подпись и печать с расшифровкой имени, из которой
следует, что имя директора станции (или международной службы ?) - M.A. Basher

На лицевой стороне  изображение национальных весельных лодок для перевозки грузов.

Кстати по стилю исполнения карточка напоминает карточки из Индии и Непала.
Осенью станцию было неплохо слышно в Москве на 9550.

Связь
08.25 10713 кГц USB - польский радиотелефон. Дуплексные переговоры
гражданского типа.

08.40 10872 кГц CW - непрерывно повторяющийся сигнал "С" (Ц). В
справочнике Klingenfuss Shortwave Frequence Guide нашел: Beacon "C"
Moscow. Тут же рядом в справочнике нашел:
10871.7 - beacon "D" Odessa;
10872.8 - beacon "P" Kaliningrad;
10872.9 - beacon "S" Arkhangelsk.
Послушал еще и обнаружил второй маяк "D" - должно быть та самая Одесса.
Вспомнил, что маяк "С" регулярно слышен также в любительском диапазоне
40 метров. Послушал вечерком и обнаружил тут ту же "сладкую парочку"
(приблизительно по частоте, насколько мне разрешает моя цифровая
шкала, так как в справочнике их почему-то нет):
7039.0 кГц - "С";
7038.7 кГц - "D".
Кто знает, что это за маяки и для чего они нады?

А еще интересно на днях наблюдал, как на 40-метровом диапазоне хорошо
был слышен радиолюбитель из Монтевидео, Уругвай. Что тут творилось!!!
Европейские и наши СНГовские радиолюбители просто ошалели - все
вместе, толпой перекрикивали друг друга, пока уругваец из этого гамуза
не умудрится выхватить пару букв из чьего-нибудь позывного, чтобы
остальные замолчали. Но и тому мешали говорить. А некоторые кричали не
менее получаса - так и не докричались... Вот где страсти спортивные!
Не то что у вещательных ДХистов - любителей "тихой охоты" за радиостанциями.
