Гамбия
The Gambia joins the growing list of tyrannies targeted by opposition radio
broadcasts this week with the launch of a weekly fifteen-minute news program
produced by Web savvy exiles in the United States.

The program, which had not been named at press time, is the latest effort
coordinated by Save the Gambia Democracy Project (STGDP) to promote press
freedoms, democratic liberties, respect for human rights, the rule of law and
good governance inside the West African nation.

Test broadcasts, Clandestine Radio Watch (CRW) has learned, will be conducted
on April 27, 28 and 29 between 2000 and 2015 GMT on 9430 kHz. The test
broadcasts will contain excerpts of interviews in the Wollof, English and local
languages for the purpose of testing reception inside Gambia and will not
contain a station identification. Formal broadcasts will begin soon thereafter
from an undisclosed transmitter location.

STGDP is a relatively new movement that was formed on the Gambian Independence
Day, February 18, in 2004 after months of intense online chatter among exiles
throughout North America. It was formally launched on the campus of Morehouse
College in Atlanta - Martin Luther King, Jr.'s alma mater, an irony not lost
on
its members. 

The group has sought to make a direct impact on the country's political scene
and successfully brought the fragmented opposition together under the National
Alliance for Democracy and Development (NADD). Its efforts, including the new
radio program, are meant to send a signal to the regime of former Sergeant
Yahya Jemmah that the upcoming elections in October 2006 will be no cakewalk.

Since taking power in 1994, Jemmah's consolidation of power has proceeded
against the winds of democratic change sweeping across the world - and inside
Gambia. Attempts to pass severe restrictions on the press in 2002 led to mass
outrage and, ultimately, a repeal of the legislation. 

More recent attempts to muzzle the press, however, have been more successful
and even deadly. What began with arson attacks, intimidation and threats
finally culminated in the murder of Deyda Hydara, editor and co-owner of a
private weekly and stringer for Agence-France-Presse and Reporters San
Frontieres. 

The U.S. State Department considers such developments as "shortcomings,"
however, and in 2002 "determined a democratically elected government had
assumed office" in Banjul and lifted sanctions, according to its 2005 human
rights report. While engagement is touted as official policy, none of the
U.S.-funded NGOs run democratization projects or maintain a presence in Gambia.
The Gambian diaspora finds itself going alone. 

The radio program, sources within STGDP tell CRW, is a grassroots effort
dependent upon the generosity of its supporters and should be considered a
wake-up call to those in the regime that whether through print, radio or the
Internet the pulse of freedom cannot be silenced. 

"We are going to be a force to open the people's eyes," STGDP Spokeswoman Sigga
Jagne told CRW. "We are not bound by the same sanctions our domestic
journalists face. Through our programs we will send a message of hope to our
people inside the Gambia that those of us outside do care and are willing to
do
what it takes to bring change."

Египет
I was in Cairo last week where I was delighted to meet local DXer 
and regular DXLD contributor Tarek Zeidan. With Tarek in place there 
I hardly need to provide any DX news from the country, though I can 
note the following:
The 2005 WRTH confirmed its reputation as the best edition of recent 
times. As far as I could tell, it has a high degree of accuracy for 
Egypt. I could hear all nine of ERTU's FM frequencies listed for 
Cairo, along with a number of other frequencies listed as being from 
ERTU relays in Alexandria, Ismailia and Mahalla. Also present were 
Nile FM in English (not Nile 1 FM as in WRTH) and its sister Arabic 
music channel, Nugoom FM (spelling as at www.nilefmonline.com - 
which also offers streaming audio of Nile FM). A VHF lift was in 
place for part of the time I was there, and various Israeli and 
Greek Cypriot stations were heard on FM.
On MF, the only addition I noted to the WRTH was an unidentified 
strong station, definitely local, playing continuous music, late 
afternoons and evenings only, on 936 kHz.
It was interesting to note that, of the four powerful mediumwave 
stations in Cyprus, the BBC Arabic Service on 639 and Radio Sawa on 
990 were audible during the daytime on a portable set in noisy and 
crowded central Cairo, but Radio Monte Carlo on 1233 and BBC WS 
English on 1323 were not. They did become audible during the day 
when I took the radio up to the top of the 187-metre Cairo Tower, 
which also offered an excellent view of the ERTU's HQ, the 
distinctive so-called "Arab Television Building" (though it also 
houses radio studios). (Chris Greenway - dxldyg 399)

(Zacharias Liangas - Hard-Core-DX 28, 27)

Всеиндийское радио - очень интересная тема. Я не встречал подробных
исследований местного КВ-вещания ВИР и периодически пытался делать такие
исследования сам. Судя по всему, формат вещания по сравнению с ситуацией
пятилетней давности остался практически неизменным. Поскольку сейчас
утреннее вещание практически недоступно, можно сосредоточиться на вечернем,
которое начинает проходить примерно после 14 часов ЮТС. С начала вечернего
вещания в 11-12 часов3-4 часа передаются местные программы с центральными
или региональными новостями, а выпуском новостей на хинди в 15.15 начинается
блок ретрансляции программ из Дели до окончания вещания примерно в 17.40.
Существуют пять региональных служб: северная, западная, южная, восточная и
северо-восточная. Замечено, что некоторые ретрансляции на частотах станций,
принадлежащих к одной службе, совпадают, то есть станции одной региональной
сети ретранслируют свои региональные программы. Предварительно можно
сгруппировать частоты таким образом по данным в ВРТ-2001:

Северная служба - 4760 (Лех), 4880 (Лакнау), 4910 (Джайпур), 4950
(Сринагар);
Западная служба - 4840 (Мумбаи);
Южная служба - 4760 (Порт-Блэр), 4800 (Хайдерабад), 4920 (Ченнай), 5010
(Тривандрум);
Востояная служба - 4820 (Калькутта), 4895 (Курсонг), 4960 (Ранчи), 5040
(Джейпор);
Северо-восточная служба - 4775 (Импхал), 4850 (Кохима), 4940 (Гувахати),
4970 (Шиллонг), 4990 (Итанагар), 5050 (Айзол).

1.05.05 в 15.00 был отмечен 5-минутный выпуск новостей на английском на
частотах 4760, 4830, 4895 и 5010, после чего на этих частотах пошли разные
передачи. Этот набор частот не соответствует ни одной из региональных служб.
Надо разбираться дальше. (Владимир Коваленко (Томск) - open_dx 733)

I know this is not real "hard-core" DX-ing, but it was simply fun to make this
quick bandscan of 13 meter band April 29 1245-1305 UTC. There?s once again life
in upper bands after long and exhausting dark winter. So I got excited and made
these observations. Here?s a list of stations heard:

-21505 BSKSA Riyadh in Arabic
-21540 REE Madrid (Noblejas) //21570 kHz
-21580 RFI Issoudun in French
-21600 BSKSA Riyadh in Arabic (14 UTC in French)
-21610 REE Madrid (Noblejas) to the ME // 21540- and 21570 kHz.

21620 RFI Issoudun in French to Africa with 500 kW of power //21580 kHz.
-21640 BSKSA 1 Riyadh in Arabic

-21660 BBC in Mandarin via Nakhon Sawan, Thailand went off at 13 UTC
-21675 R Jamahiriya via France // 21695 kHz.
-21685 RFI Issoudun in French to Africa // 21580- and 21620 kHz.

-21760 RFI via Meyerton in French with other RFI outlets. This offered the best
and strongest signal.

I enjoyed warm spring weather (+14) in the backyard with my Sony 7600G and a
five meter reel antenna. My sources of information were EiBi and Passport.

Many RFI and REE frequencies and even two frequencies of Libya via France. First
blue anemones are flowering and today I saw the first bee. Spring has finally
arrived and upper bands are open! Have a happy First of May!

noted a period of silence until 1000 when chimes heard briefly followed by
more comments by a woman.  I believe this is the carrier I have been hearing
for the last month on this odd frequency.  I checked parallel frequencies
that
VOK is on at this time, and all were nil heard.  Incidently, this is suppose
to be a transmission of Japanese during this time frame and frequency.

Боливия
After listening to this unID Bolivian station on
1540.19 kHz at least 10-15 hours, both mornings
and evenings, I now have the stations QTH:
Escoma, Provincia de Camacho, Departamento de La
Paz (Bolivia). "Camacho" is divided in four
districts: Escoma, Umanata, Chinaya and
Parajachi. Still I do not know the name of the
station but on this web-site 2 stations are
listed on 1540 kHz:

http://www.fdta-valles.org/Pages/Radios.html
Radio Sariri, 1540 Escoma (LPB)
Radio Wi?aj Kalpachaj, 1540 Tarata (CBB)

Henrik Klemetz has had a theory that this could
be "Radio Sariri" and perhaps he is right.
Perhaps one of our Bolivian friends can
investigate if the name still is "Sariri". As you
can hear on my recording the QTH is 100%.

This is the first time I have logged a Bolivian
station on mediumwave here in Quito so I?m really
happy! (Bjorn Malm - hard-core-dx 28, 27)

1) частота РП была уже точная, без биений до нескольких десятков Гц, как
когда-то.
2) поменялись местами украинский и молдавский блоки новостей:

Разное
Необычное прохождение было замечено 8 апреля на средних волнах. Видать это
было тропо, образовывались волноводы, правда, не на очень большие
расстояния. Вот несколько наблюдений: прежде всего хочется отметить очень
хороший сигнал с Украины на 648 кГц (SINPO 45454) и 765 кГц - Маяк-Одесса
так вообще на SINIO 55555 шел. Дальше Европа:

1161 BUL Radio Horizont
1341 HNG Magyar Katolikus Radio, Szolnok
1404 ROU Radio Sighet, Sighet in hungarian
1458 ROU Romania Actualitata, Constanta
1593 ROU Radio Cluj, Various in hungarian

Все эти станции шли необычно мощно, правда с небольшими замираниями. Но
самый интересный эффект был замечен на 1593 кГц - было сильнейшее эхо.
Неужто сигнал вокруг земного шара прошел? А ведь мощность там всего 2,
максимум 7 кВт. (Вячеслав Олейник, Кишинев, Молдова - open_dx, Сигнал 146)

Украина
Ночью со 2 на 3.04.05 вновь услышал Радио Бриз (Севастополь) на 1476 кГц
(весь март мониторил эту частоту, но все это время TX не был слышен).
Станция себя не идентифицирует до 03.00 UTC (это, видимо, ее манера). Но,
зная ее репертуар, могу утверждать, что это была именно она. Прохождение
было похуже, чем зимой, и к 01.00 UTC сигнал утонул в шумах.

QSL

Азербайджан
Имею QSL-письмо из 119-й по счету страны. Письмо вполне конкретное, только
вот без времени приема -- а дата и частота есть. Письмо гласит, что
такого-то числа "Вы действительно слушали передачу Первой Программы
Азербайджанского радио на азербайджанском языке на частоте...".

Я посылал два рапорта, один IRC и разъяснительное письмецо о том, кто такие
радиолюбители и почему им так важно иметь подтверждения от разных станций и
стран.

Письмо на бланке "Azerbaijan Republic - National Television and Radio
Broadcasting Company", с эмблемой, номер 011/1-10 от 16.02.05. Подписал
главный инженер Дарафарин Р.М.

Кое-какая-техническая информация из письма:

549 кГц. Передатчик находится в Ханларском районе Азербайджана, мощность 170
кВт.

801 кГц. Передатчик находится в районе Губа и Пирсаат Азербайджанской
Республики, мощность передатчика 150 кВт.

Интересная приписка в конце: "Небольшие объявления диктора и долгие паузы,
которые Вы слышали, появляются при переключении передатчиков". В самом деле,
на 801 кГц, когда я слушал AZRadio на 801 кГц, перед новостями была паузы
секунд 40 -- наше радио, по-моему, так долго не молчит.

Обратный адрес написан по-азербайджански, а язык теперь использует латинскую
графику с разными дополнительными буквами, которые через это письмо не
пройдут. Поэтому я напишу его стандартной латиницей, а потом прокомментирую,
какие буквы где переворачивать.

Azerbaycan Radiosu
Mehdi Huseyn kucesi - 1
AZ - 1011
Baki
Azerbaycan

Третья буква в слове "Azerbaycan" -- перевернутая "е". Только не
симметричная вокруг горизонтальной оси, а вот если бы вбить в середину буквы
"е" гвоздик и перевернуть ее по кругу. Или если взять русское "э" и
соединить нижнюю линию со средней. В татарском алфавите, хоть он и на
кириллице, такая буква тоже есть.

В слове "Huseyn" над "u" стоят две точки -- как по-немецки.

Слово "kucesi" самое трудное
- над "u" стоят две точки
- под "c" стоит хвостик, как в французском или португальском
- "e" такая же перевернутая

В WRTH примерно так адрес и дан.
