Salmaniv и Guy Atkins, которые вернулись из большой DX-педиции, проведённой 
на Западе Австралии  в месте под названем Грейленд, а также много других интересных
новостей. Приятного чтения, Иван.

Австралия
2485, 1134-, ABC Northern Territory Katherine Jun 12 Annoying hum 
with ABC news, and then into a Sunday variety show.  The feed source is 
different from 2310 and 2325, as they are in parallel, but Katherine is a 
fraction of a second ahead of 2310 and 2325.  No hum on the latter 2 
either, so a more pleasant listen.  Much stronger signals than yesterday 
am.  2310 Alice Springs the strongest, followed closely by 2325 Tennant 
Creek. (Walter Salmaniw, Grayland, WA - hard-core-dx 30, 13)

2310, 1305-1312, VL8A Alice Springs Jun 11 Discussion of
Australian politics by man and woman. Fair level. Parallel VL8T 2325 (fair)
and VL8K 2485 (poor). On June 12, all three 120 meter band Aussies were much
better, at 1044 UTC; persistent hum noted on VL8K transmitter.

15500, Internews Radio / Salaam Watandar, 12 июня, *13.00-, на пушту и дари,
54444. Небольшая помеха от Кувейта (15505). ILGRadio дает для передач этой
станции язык фарси, что неверно (хотя с дари они очень похожи). Дикторы
говорят вперемешку на двух языках, причем, как мне кажется, читаются не
переводы слов друг друга, а какие-то совершенно разные сообщения. И
объявление времени-частот в начале своеобразное: первая передача объявляется
на пушту (я с лету числа на нем не схватываю, а запись не сделал), вторая --
на дари (частота 15500 в 7.00-8.30 по кабульскому времени). Если это не моя
ошибка, то время вообще неправильное -- в Кабуле должно быть UTC + 4 1/2
часа.(Дмитрий Мезин - open_dx 780)

Вануату
7259.685, 0621-, Radio Vanuatu Jun 11 Sunset in Port Villa, with a 
decent signal (at least the music) but with lots of summer static 
crashes.  Modern western music.  Chatting with Guy Atkins across the table, 
when it just vanished at 06:25.  Very weak het only.  I assumed it was some 
local noise, but I don't think so, as 7120 PNG is coming in with 
audio.  Still nothing at 0642, but fair audio on 3944.86 with identical 
format, so I'm assuming this is the same transmitter.  Listened to 06:58 
with mentions of Vanuatu. Port Villa mentioned at 07:06. I checked again at 
0800.  Rapid drums up to the TOH, then islands type music.  No IS or ID on 
the hour.  'People of Vanuatu' heard at 0805.  Transmitter appears to be 
drifting somewhat.  'Vanuatu government' at 0807.  Frequency is 3944.86 at 
0810.  Radio Vanuatu ID at 08:11:55.  Rapid drums, and ?conch shell, and 
another Radio Vanuatu ID at 08:15, and into music, and presumed ad.  All at 
good signal strength but weak modulation. (Walter Salmaniw, Grayland, WA - hard-core-dx
30, 13)

3944.9v, 0715-0740, R. Vanuatu Jun 11 Noted this rising up from the
noise prior to 0700, and down 0.1 kHz from nominal, just like Vanuatu on
7259.9v earlier in the evening before it shut down suddenly. Mentions of
'Tok Tok' at 0715 as well as Port Vila at 0731. Poor to fair signal, but
improving past 0740. Noted again at 0814, drifted down to 3944.85. 'Radio
Vanuatu' ID at 0815. (Guy Atkins-WA - hard-core-dx 30, 13)

4790, 1320-1333, RRI Fak Fak Jun 11 Strong signal of lagu romantik
music; female announcer at 1330 with mentions of Fak Fak. Presumed.
(Guy Atkins-WA, Grayland, AU - hard-core-dx 30, 13)

3945, 1127-1130, RRI Ternate Jun 12 Soft Indonesian pop music to
male announcer with ID at 1130. Only a fair signal, with modest modulation.

Иран
7165, Голос Исламской Республики Иран, 11 июня, 15.06, на русском, 44444.
Передача о тлетворном влиянии западного кино и литературы; затем об
общественно-психическом воздействии религии. Чуть-чуть мешало RL на
казахском (7170 кГц).(Дмитрий Мезин - open_dx 780)

11575, Seda-ye Iran, 12 июня, 16.12, на персидском, 45444. Говорят, что
передатчик в Болгарии. Передача состояла из телефонных звонков (не из Ирана,
я думаю) с модератором-мужчиной в студии.(Дмитрий Мезин - open_dx 780)

13800, Radio International, 12 июня, 16.37, на персидском, 45444. Говорят,
что передатчик в Григориополе. Беседа о технологиях, экономике и
коммунистах. В 16.56 голосом настоящего Стинга запели "Englishman in New
York".(Дмитрий Мезин - open_dx 780)

Италия
Today at 0910 UTC something happened on 11775 khz. While AWR Europe was broadcasting
DX program "Studio DX", many Dxer in Europe was listening me whit italian dx
news and a man talking in german and music. Apparently no co-channel on 11775
at that hour, but Radio Romania International starts at 1000 UTC just in german.
New UTC for RRI? Feeds problem AWR->Julich? Unfortunately nobody was able to
check AWR on Hotbird 13? or some affiliated FM station in Italy, and I was at
work, so I don't know if it was a BF
or RF trouble. DXer Luca Di Spalatro from Italy listened the same mix also last
sunday, june 5. Any idea?(Roberto Scaglione - hard-core-dx 30, 13)

Киргизия
6030, UNID, 12 июня, 16.02, 33433. Песни неопределенного типа на одной
частоте с китайским CNR-1. Это, случайно, не Радио Маранафа из Бишкека?
После 16.30 здесь появляется еще и довольно сильный сигнал BBC на арабском,
поэтому разобраться непросто. Надо будет поизучать эту частоту.

improved after 2030, music at 2045 to 2100. “for our listeners who enjoy 
our program let us know...”. 2205 tuned in again, signal very poor,

ОАЭ
1152, Radio Emirate Ras-al-Khaimah (ОАЭ), 12 июня, 17.59, 44433. Иран почти
не мешал. В 17.59 привычное объявление на арабском (Изаат уль-имарат мен
Рас-эль-Хима), а затем музыка, барабаны, и быстрая речь на каком-то из
южноазиатских языков. Новости, песни, телефонные звонки, что-то типа
программы по заявкам. Несколько раз упоминалась Шри Ланка, поэтому по языку
в первую очередь подозрение падает на тамильский или сингальский. В WRTH
упоминаются вставки на урду и малаялам, но в другое время. Не урду точно;
про малаялам судить трудно -- я его почти никогда не слышал. Передача для
гастарбайтеров? К сожалению, после установки новой версии софта в мой плеер
я забыл убрать на минимум чувствительность по линейному входу, и записи
получились с ужасным перегрузом ... :-(  В 18.40 вещание шло все на том же
языке.(Дмитрий Мезин - open_dx 780)

Папуа-Новая Гвинея
7120, 0634-, Wantok Radio Light Jun 11 Official 
opening ceremonies of the radio station.  Mentions of PNG and Wantok Radio 
Light.  Seemingly live relay of an outdoor event.  Superb signal at 07:01 
retune.  Every bit as strong as Don Moman's fabulous recording from last 
week.  Armchair copy, like Port Moresby's 4890 so often!  I rechecked at 
08:25.  Easily S9+10 to 20 signals, with thanks to various individuals, so 
I'm wondering whether the opening ceremonies are coming to a close. 
(Walter Salmaniw, Grayland, WA - hard-core-dx 30, 13)

3905, 0821-, Radio New Ireland Jun 11 Almost armchair 
copy with Pidgin ad about ?bird conservation, and then singing by children, 
accompanied by what sounds like cans bumping along the ground.  ID for 
Radio New Ireland heard at 08:31. Then the Golden Rules.  One, two, three, 
four....public service announcement for something or another!  Marijuana 
mentioned multiple times at 08:34 with ill effects on the brain. 
(Walter Salmaniw, Grayland, WA - hard-core-dx 30, 13)

4960, 0840-, Catholic Radio Network Jun 11 S7 to S9 
signal with church service in progress with a beautiful choir.  Not at all 
sounding like anything indigenous, though.  Lot's of static noise. 
(WAlter Salmaniw, Grayland, WA - hard-core-dx 30, 13)

3290, 0845-, PNG Bandscan Jun 11 S7 to S9 open carrier 
here at this time.  Not sure whether this is a Central American, or the PNG 
station, Radio Central.  2410 has a weak carrier.  As I recall Radio Enga 
hasn't been on the air for a while.  Worth watching.  3205 Radio Sandaun, 
usually one of the strongest is absent today.  3220, Radio Morobe heard 
with only a fair signal at best.  3235 Radio West New Britain heard at good 
levels at 08:52 with S9 to S9+5 level with EZL western music.  ID for Radio 
West New Britain at 0856.  Lowish modulation for the announcer 
(female).  // to 4890 with National news at 09:04. 3245 Radio Gulf, not on 
the air.  3260 Radio Madang fair to good, but lot's of atmospheric noise 
again.  Radio Southern Highlands on 3275 is only weakly heard, again with 
National news relay at 0910.  Open Carrier on 3290, Radio Central's 
frequency. 3305 Radio Western...loud carrier only. 3315, Radio Manus 
absent.  3325 Radio North Solomons with a political speech, mentioning 
Bougainville, and tok-tok.  Children's choir (sounds like an 
anthem?).  3335 Radio East Sepik very strong.  3345 Radio Northern's 
frequency is occupied by the Indonesian, so can't tell.  3355, Radio Simbu 
is absent.  Very weak carrier on 3365.1.  Don't think this is Radio Milne 
Bay.  3375 has several stations, including one 100 Hz high.  Not sure is 
Radio Western Highlands is among them.  3385 is the strongest on the band, 
with Pidgin male announcer, mentioning Radio Australia from 1985.  Powerful 
signal.  3395 Radio Eastern Highlands not on the air.  3905 Radio New 
Ireland very strong. (Walter Salmaniw, Grayland, WA - hard-core-dx 30, 13)

3385, 1328-, Radio East New Britain Jun 11 A real 
power house with strong signals long after my sunrise.  By far the 
strongest 90m station, but they pulled the plug within a few minutes of the 
logging. (Walter Salmaniw, Grayland, WA - hard-core-dx 30, 13)

4890, 1400-, National Radio Jun 11 Sign off 
announcements, with frequencies and then short NA, into dead air by 
14:00:45.  Still very strong!. (Walter Salmaniw, Grayland, WA - hard-core-dx
30, 13)

4960, 1402-, Catholic Radio Network Jun 11 Even a 
couple of hours after sunrise, this PNG is still going strong with late 
night instrumental music.  Still a S5 to S7. (Walter Salmaniw, Grayland, WA -
hard-core-dx 30, 13)

3290, 1043-, Radio Central Jun 12 Didn't hear this one 
last night, but here this morning with a fine S9+ signal with American 
inspirational vocal. Rechecked at 11:04, when they were carrying the 
National news.  On recheck at 11:28 they were carrying a National program 
(parallel to 9675). (Walter Salmaniw, Grayland, WA - hard-core-dx 30, 13)

3364.974, 1048-, Radio Milne Bay Jun 12 Definitely on 
this morning slightly off frequency, with islands music with rapidly 
increasing audio as I monitor to the hour.  Music is decent, but the male 
announcer is rather muffly.  Friday and Monday mentioned.  English, not 
Pidgin at the moment.  Into more music at 11:01.  Signal is nice and 
strong, but unfortunately the announcers modulation is terrible.  Still 
nice to hear them today, as they weren't audible yesterday. 
(Walter Salmaniw, Grayland, WA - hard-core-dx 30, 13)

9675, 1119-, Radio National Jun 12 A very unusual PNG 
morning with very few stations on the air, and the few that weren't on the 
air yesterday morning are audible today. 4890 was uncharacteristically not 
on the air.  Thanks to Guy Atkins who pointed out that they stayed on their 
day frequency of 9675!  Stong signal except for really bad adjacent 
splatter from 9680 (Taiwan and the Chinese music jammer).  No problem on 
LSB, though.  Continued with a news program.  Rather tinny audio, though, 
compared to the full rich modulation on 4890.  End of the program at 
11:24:50, with a 'good night'.  Open carrier for almost 30 seconds  before 
going into western modern pops. (Walter Salmaniw, Grayland, WA - hard-core-dx
30, 13)

9675, 1115-1122, NBC Port Moresby Jun 12 I almost didn't
check this frequency, as 0700 is typical sign-off for 9675. However, after
finding 4890 quiet, I noted 9675 with a good signal (far better in LSB) with
the 'Around the Provinces' program, parallel to 3290 R. Central. Male and
female reporters with news items from various PNG locations. 
(Guy Atkins-WA - hard-core-dx 30, 13)

7120, 0520-1325, Wantok Radio Light Jun 11 A weak het first
heard around 0520, and strengthening into threshold audio before 0600, over
two hours before Port Moresby sunset. A steady rise in signal strength
throughout the 0600 hour was noted, with good, listenable levels by 0630,
with special inaugural broadcast of Wantok Radio Light in progress. Many
mentions of 'Wantok Radio' by male and female announcers with references to
the dedication of the station, and so on. This was clearly an outdoor event
and broadcast,  with a 'you are there' feeling, complete with echoes,
microphone feedback squeals, crowds cheering, etc. Christian contemporary
praise and worship music in between announcer comments, phone interviews,
and messages by pastors and Christian leaders, and songs by local bands
(Voice in the Wind; P.T.U.I.F. Band; and Higher Vision). Heard frequent
comments like 'Papua New Guinea is praising today', 'Are you rejoicing,
Papua New Guinea?' and mentions of thanksgiving for the new station. By 0715
the signal was positively loud! An exclamation of 'Good evening, Kaupena!'
was heard at 0744, at the beginning of a listener's message and excited
testimony (Kaupena is the transmitter location.) At 0902 recheck, I caught a
quick ID in Pidgin rather than English: 'You hearim Wantok Radio Light'.
This new PNG station was even coming in at a fair level on the whip antenna
of my Degen DE1103...pretty impressive for 1 Kw on an NVIS antenna from over
6700 miles away. At 1325 recheck, noted Wantok Radio Light still in with a
fair-good signal of contemporary Christian music. Here are two MP3 audio
files of Wantok Radio Light:

13)

4960, 0904-0906, Catholic Radio Network, Vanimo Jun 11
Noted in passing with Catholic programming in English, 'Hail Mary full of
grace,' etc. at tune-in. Much poorer signal than Wantok Radio Light...fair
at best. However, at 1340 I happened upon CRN again, with a good signal of
PNG choral music. At 1347, the female announcer congratulated Wantok Radio
Light on their inaugural broadcast and official first day on the air. On
June 12, CRN was heard with a poor signal of contemporary Christian music
and female vocals at 1115. (Guy Atkins-WA - hard-core-dx 30, 13)

3905, 0820-0836, Radio New Ireland Jun 11 Excellent level
with female announcer in Pidgin; interesting primative music with women
singing, accompanied by wooden percussive instruments. 'Radio New Ireland'
ID by woman at 0831, and into local announcement or PSA by man and woman
regarding the evils of marijuana. (Guy Atkins-WA - hard-core-dx 30, 13)

3385, 0910-0924, R. East New Britain Jun 11 Surprised to
find on 3385 a relay of Australian rules football between the victorious
Brisbane Broncos and the Canberra team. Noted parallel to the 120 meterband
Aussie regionals. Suddenly back to local PNG programming at 0920 with ads
for a hardware store and grocery. Mentions of the football game by a male
announcer in Pidgin at 0922. Numerous mentions of Papua New Guinea at 0923.
At 1320 recheck, noted on late with local advertisement and mentions of
Rabaul, and then off at 1323. Also heard June 12 with a strong signal of
soft PNG pop music in Pidgin at 1112. (Guy Atkins-WA - hard-core-dx 30, 13)

1737, 1143-1144, KUT, Kutubu Jun 12 CW aeronautical beacon
KUT noted with slow Morse code; fair signal level. (Atkins-WA)

PAPUA NEW GUINEA 3220, 0938-0943, R. Morobe Jun 11 Tentative. Weak signal of
man talking in Pidgin. Not much to go on, but other PNGs were in at very
good levels during the same timeframe. Old country Gospel music at 0941.
(Atkins-WA)

3235, 1145-1201, R. West New Britain Jun 12 Man in Pidgin
language with mentions of Kimbe and Papua New Guinea. Sing-sing PNG vocals
to 1156 announcements. Still playing soft music past 1200. Fair signal at
tune-in, but fading fast. (Atkins-WA)

3260, 0845-0901, R. Madang Jun 11 Male announcer in Pigin
with mentions of 'Papua' at 0846. Bagpipe music (!) at 0850; ad for a brand
of 'fine tuna' at 0857, and more bagpipe music 0858. 'Radio Madang' ID at
0900. Fair to good signal. Noted June 12 with weak, noisy signal at 1052.
(Guy Atkins-WA - hard-core-dx 30, 13)

3275, 1050-1055, R. Southern Highlands Jun 12 Tentative.
Noisy signal of what sounded like a live church service or transmission from
an auditorium. English language preacher or speaker, but too weak of a
signal to pull out much content. (Guy Atkins-WA - hard-core-dx 30, 13)

3290, 1056-, R. Central Jun 12 Central was not heard last
night, but booming in this evening with a very good signal of EZL pop music
and male announcer in English. Conch shell blowing, then Into NBC national
news read by a man in English at 1100. Into a commentary program at 1105 by
a male announcer: 'Welcome to another edition of Around the Provinces.'
Noted parallel to NBC Port Moresby on their alternate frequency of 9675
(4890 absent). (Guy Atkins-WA - hard-core-dx 30, 13)

3325, 0944-0948, R. North Solomons Jun 11 Live or recorded
broadcast of a female representative being sworn-in to a governmental
assembly, and swearing allegiance to the country of Papua New Guinea. There
were many mentions of Bougainville. The programming sounded like a PNG
version of CSPAN. Fair to good signal. Also heard June 12 with a fair signal
at 1058. (Guy Atkins-WA - hard-core-dx 30, 13)

3335, 0948-0959, R. East Sepik Jun 11 Nice Melanesian
sing-sing music at tune-in; male announcer in Pidgin 0953 with time check
and mentioning Papua New Guinea twice. ID for 'Radio East Sepik' at 0959. At
1003, the announcer mentioned  'Wantok Radio Light dedication' in the midst
of a Pidgin sentence. Powerhouse signal!.

Here in Melbourne, we have now entered the period of the year when sunset is

at its earliest.


This is now occurring at 5.07 pm (0707 UTC) and will remain so until June21.

Days when the latest sunrise occurs do not coincide with days on which 
sunrise is earliest, due to the tilt of the Earth's axis.

Latest sunrise occurs at 7.36 am (2136 UTC) from June 24 through until July 
4.

The "shortest day" if officially June 15, in the southern hemisphere, 
designated as the June solstice. However, for practical purposes, the days 
from June 6 until July 4 can be considered to be the "shortest days", when 
daylight hours are minimum.

It is during this shortest daylight period when daytime reception here 
inMelbourne on 6, 7, and 9 MHz is at its best. This means that there will 
not be any marked change to observed spectrum occupancies, between 0000 and 
0400 UTC, 10 am to 2 pm, as monitored in Melbourne, until mid July, and the 
pattern now noted will remain. That four hour block has always been the 
period when intensive monitoring of the 6, 7, and 9 MHz bands has been made,

in studying, and learning about propagation variations.

The 6 MHz band is of greatest interest, as shortpath signals from Europe, 
Africa, and the Middle East are audible up until about 0100 UTC (11 am), 
then longpath propagation from the same regions becomes evident from about 
0130 (11.30 am). Between 0100 and 0130, both modes are noted, with longpath 
peaking at around 0300 UTC (1 pm), until eventual fade-out by about 0600 
UTC(4 pm).

In those four hours, longpath propagation from the Americas is observed 
until about 0100 (11 am), then at 0130 (11.30 am) those signals appear via 
the Pacific shortpath route until well into our night.

The reception of any signal at all on 6 MHz at 0200 UTC (noon) during our 
mid-winter has always been regarded as noteworthy!

Each year, the "Midday 6 MHz Mode" always has something new to offer. This 
year, solar activity is very low as we move towards the bottom of the 
present Sunspot Cycle 23, which significantly affects propagation across our

mid-winter noon period.

What I have discovered this season during the 0000-0400 period is that 
signal levels are well down as compared with other years. Even when away 
from Melbourne on the various monitoring trips, there has been great 
variability on a day-to-day basis, and there has been very little 
propagation from deep South America. Brazilians, Uruguayans, Colombians, and

Bolivians noted in past years have failed (so far!)to make it, and the "deep

south" is represented only by weak signals from the high-powered 
international transmitters in Chile 6070, Argentina 6060, and Ecuador 6050.

At my home here in Mont Albert, serious daytime monitoring has now become 
almost impossible on 6 MHz between 0000 and 0400 UTC, due to infuriating 
power line noise from suburbia and signal blocking by intense layers of 
industrial smog, and only the strongest signals are audible, if at all. The 
"fun trips" I have been making to the tops of icy mountains and into dense 
forests are not for radio monitoring, but for bushwalking, 4WDing in the 
mud, and digital photography! The radio work is secondary.

On Tuesday June 14 I went out 80 km to the mountains in the Yarra Ranges, 
and did an interesting 5 km walk along the "Morley Track". This started at 
the Dom Dom Saddle, 600 metres above sea level, where the main highway from 
Healesville to Marysville crosses the Great Dividing Range. The walk was 
really good, along a ridge line, quite steep in parts, with excellent views 
to the Victorian Alps across deep forested valleys.

I actually set up the Sangean ATS808A at around 0300 UTC at the Dom Dom 
Saddle Picnic Ground, where there is no power line noise, but in 30 minutes 
of monitoring, spectrum occupancy didn't reveal anything new on 6, 7, or 9 
MHz.

On June 15, I had to go out to the western suburbs to visit a relative, and 
went to the nearby Point Cook Coastal Park. Between 0100 and 0200 UTC, with 
the Sangean, the 6, 7, and 9 MHz bands showed no new occupancies. The only 
real points of interest on 6 MHz were:

5900 RUSSIA, VOR audible from 0115-0200
5960 UK, NHK-Rampisham, audible at 0125
6070 CHILE, fade-in at 0125
6200 CZECH REPUBLIC, fade-in at 0130

Others at 0120 fade-in included BLR 5970, CAN(RSW) 6010, ALB(CRI) 6020, 
E6055, POR(DW-Sines) 6075, CANADA(VOV) 6175.

Up higher, the "Voice of Justice", a program from the VOIRI(Tehran) was a 
super signal on 11875 0100-0130, obliterating co-channel Cuba!

I have put together a nice Photo Album of the magnificient mountain scenery 
along the Morley Walking Track, which you may view at

США/Узбекистан
Голос Америки возобновляет радиовещание на узбекском языке

В воскресенье Голос Америки возобновило свое радиовещание на
узбекском языке ориентированное на Узбекистан. Вещание было
приостановлено ровно год назад в связи с тем, что опросы на тот
момент показали, что телевидение имеет большую аудиторию, чем
радио. С тех пор Голос Америки делал упор больше на телевидение,
в связи с чем возникла еженедельная передача "Америка
манзаралари" на узбекском языке.

Однако события в Андижане в мае этого года продемонстрировали
острую необходимость в большом количестве источников информации
в связи с информационной блокадой, объявленной узбекским
правительством. По рекомендации ряда сенаторов и конгрессменов,
а также некоторых организаций, руководство Голоса Америки решило
возобновить свои радиопередачи на узбекском языке, начиная с 12
июня.

Вещание будет осуществляться ежедневно по 30 минут с 20:00 до
20:30 по ташкентскому времени на следующих частотах:

11515 кГц IRA
11780 кГц UDO
15390 кГц KAV

и в Интернете по адресу:
http://www.voanews.com/real/voa/sca/uzbe/uzbe1500a.ram

В будущем ожидается также вещание на средних волнах и в
диапазоне FM в городе Ош.

Тропический обзор - дополнения от 17.06.05

3200 - ТМР-Свазиленд. 14.06.05 в 16.58 идентификация: "Радио ...(?)...
Мапуту, Мозамбик". В 16.59 передатчик отключился, но в 17.00 включился
снова, и началась передача на английском. По БД ИЛГ вещание заканчивается в
20.30, но из-за ухудшения прохождения что-то неясное наблюдалось лишь до
примерно 20.15. Однако, в 20.39 вдруг появился неопознанный сигнал, который
пропал в 20.44 так же внезапно, как и появился. До утра на частоте других
сигнлов не было. В 00.08 включилась служебная станция на ОБП. Сохранил
запись с 16.40 до 01.12.

4635 - Таджикское радио. 15.06.05 передатчик включился в 14.00.

4760 - ВИР. 16.06.05 в 13.10 довольно неплохой приём.

4785 - Радио Внутренней Монголии на монгольском. 16.06.05 вечернее вещание
закончилось в 16.05. Ночью на частоте что-то было неясное слышно. Когда
утром передатчик включился в 21.11, появился тон частотой 2,6 кГц. У
малийского передатчика частота всегда была 4783 кГц, но сейчас справочники
дают 4785 (ИЛГ) или переменную 4784 (ВРТ). Возможно, в этот момент частота
была около 4782,5 кГц. В 21.34-21.37 на "монгольской" частоте включался
килогерцовый тон. Вещание началось в 21.49. В 21.07 тон довольно резко
ослабился, но не пропал. К 23.00 прохождение практически пропало. Сохранил
записи 13.20-16.19 и 16.30-00.54.

4890 - Эн-Би-Си из Порт-Морсби. Плохой, но однозначный приём 16.06.05 в
13.06.

4935 - 16.06.05 в 13.15 периодически всплывает какой-то странный сигнал. То
ли служебная связь, то ли хулиганы, то ли радиопостановка на вещательной
станции с плохой модуляцией.

5025 - Радио Ташкента. Наблюдения за сигналами на этой частоте проводил
15.06.05. Самый сильный сигнал на частоте принадлежит Радио Ташкента, также
отмечаются Радио Пакистана из Кветты на 5027 и предположительно Радио Уганды
на 5026. Всё это можно очень интересно проиллюстрировать спектральной
характеристикой семичасовой записи, которую позволяет создать программа
"Cool Edit": <http://img224.echo.cx/img224/7654/5025150605154522450ey.jpg>.

Равномерно заполненные по всей полосе частот вертикальные оранжевые полосы -
это шумы при отсутствии каких-либо сигналов. Меньшее заполнение высоких
частот и большее - низких - наличие сигналов, и чем сильнее сигнал, тем
высоких частот меньше, потому что спектры КВ-сигналов довольно узкополосные.
Можно заметить, что полоса ПЧ-фильтра "Ишима" в режиме УП - 10,2 кГц. Ярко
выраженные горизонтальные полосы соответствуют тональным сигналам. Тональный
сигнал на частоте 2,25 кГц и его вторая гармоника на 4,5 кГц образованы
внутренним эффектом детектора приёмника: когда в полосе приёмника
оказываются два схожих по уровню сигнала, помимо их низкочастотного
заполнения, с детектора снимается и разностный тон. Таким образом, участкам
с этими полосами соответствует одновременная работа узбекского и
пакистанского передатчиков, различающихся по частоте на 2,25 кГц. Двойная
полоса вокруг 3 кГц - это двухтональная телеграфия (телетайп).

Таким образом, картина получилась следующая. В 15.45 уже работает передатчик
и только что отключился тестовый тональный сигнал, остались немодулированная
несущая и 2,25 кГц тон. В 15.49 зазвучал позывной, в 15.50 началась
программа "Ватандош", продолжавшаяся до 16.29. После отключения узбекского
передатчика на частоте остался слабый сигнал из Кветты. На спектральной
характеристике слабость сигнала видна по ярко выраженной шумовой полосе, а
его наличие - по заполнению низких частот. На слух можно было услышать
неясное бормотание, сигналы точного времени в 17.00 и музыку, похожую на
пакистанскую, в 17.18. В 17.20 снова появилась несущая и 2,25 кГц тон.
17.29 - позывные Радио Ташкента, с 17.30 - "Ватандош". 2,25 кГц тон пропал в
18.07, что примерно соответствует времени окончания вещания из Кветты по БД
ИЛГ - 18.05. Программа "Ватандош" продолжалась до 18.30, после чего на
частоте остался очень слабый сигнал. Можно предполодить только Уганду. В
18.59 включился телетайп (двойная полоса на 3 кГц). В 19.20 включился
передатчик, в 19.34 - позывные, в 19.35 началась программа Радио Ташкента на
немецком, закончившаяся в 20.25. 20.29 - снова позывные, 20.30-20.57 -
передача на английском (идентификация - "Radio Tashkent International").
После этого на фоне ничего нет, даже телетайп практически не прослушивается.
Передатчик снова включился в 21.21, в 21.29 - позывной, 21.30-21.57 -
передача на английском. Передатчик выключился сразу же, в 21.57. Больше до
конца записи других сигналов на частоте не было (кроме телетайпа).

Сохранил запись 15.45-22.45.

5080 - Радио Пакистана. 15.06.05 передатчик включился в 15.31. Сохранил
запись с 14.10 до 15.42.

Frequencys are all american channels.

This is my first post to the list.
Have had E's from Mexico all day long on channels 2 to 6, with something
that might be E's on channel 7.
The time is 0930 EDT till now as the time is 2230 EDT. This is stations from
along the gulf of Mexico side of Mexico, from Monterrey to the Yucatan.

Channel 2 - XEFB Monterrey mixed with 3 other stations in spanish.
Channel 3 - Spanish over our local channel 3, WRCB.
Channel 4 - Spanish with two different stations.
Channel 5 - Spanish unIDed.
Channel 6 - Spanish unIDed.

At 2230 EDT have channel 2 from Denver, Colorado mixed with channel 2 from
Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Channel 5 from Publeo, Colorado.

Though not as exotic as most reports from Europe, this is as good as it gets
from here.

Equipment: Just a standard TV with antenna at 20 feet off ground and
armstrong rotor.

I observed from 1810 (start listening) to 1903 (when OIRT was empty), but found
69.32 when I checked back at 1928 UTC.
Mostly UKR, many parallel frequencies with UR 1 px, quite stable signals. MUF
raised above around 1845.

1420 WGCG GA, Columbus, after 2 follow ups and e mail to Bobby
Gray, I finally received my ppc back in 9d after my latest f/up. I
enclosed a CD of the test. Not sure who signed it, except it is "II" at
the end. This test was from Oct 04. Address: 1353 13th Avenue, Columbus

Судан
I got a mail (QSL) from Pete(r) Stover of Edmedia with some more 
information about Radio Peace in southern Sudan.
He tells me that both frequencies (4750 and 5895 kHz) are in daily use, 
but with different programs and patterns.
4750 kHz is on with 1 000 W for the southern parts of Sudan in six 
languages (English and five Sudanese languages).
5895 is on with 5 000 W for central and northern Sudan and in two 
languages (English and Arabic).
"The stations are domestic. The signals throughout the rest of the 
world would be weak if existing at all except for the "right" 
conditions". says Pete Stover.
