Пробежался сегодня утром (с 0907) по LW/MW с целью чего нибудь необычное нащупать.
Ничего особого не заметил и решил просто оценить прохождение украинских станций.
Итак:
kHz - SINPO
207 - 45554 
549 - 45554 
648 - 35453
657 - 35453 (заметное улучшение)
765 - 35553 (странное ухудшение)
1026 - 15441 (а это откуда? Или я с Белоруссией спутал...)
Наверное таки спутал, поскольку на
1125 -24442 (канал культура)
вроде шла та же передача, правда что-то таки на украинском было.

Оценку S надо считать достаточно объективной (с точностью S-метра YB400). На
самом деле она мне кажется занижена. Без S-метра я бы поставил всем (ну кроме
1026 и 1125 кГц) на бал выше.

Кирибати
Radio Kiribati apparently NOT on shortwave!

The national broadcaster of the Pacific Ocean island of Kiribati, Radio
Kiribati, can be heard live online at http://radio-tarawa.tskl.net.ki, via
the Icecast open source audio streaming server. There are two streams
available, a mono stream at a bitrate of 16 kbps and a stereo stream at 32
kpbs, both using the Ogg Vorbis multimedia streaming format.

The station was observed signing-on at 1825 UTC on Friday 11 November 2005,
opening with a choral version of the national anthem and identification in
the local language, I-Kiribati, as "Aio Banaan Kiribati" [latter word is
pronounced kir-ree-bass]. This was followed by a music programme presented
in I-Kiribati, then a relay of BBC World Service news in English at 1900
after which there was Radio Kiribati's own "Local and District News" in
English at 1920 UTC. It was noted that the interval signal/signature tune
used with English identification announcements is a pan pipes version of
Roxette's pop hit "It Must Have Been Love".

The Radio Kiribati stream was silent when checked again at 0200 UTC the
following day, but the last few minutes of the day's broadcast were caught
shortly before closing at 1055 UTC with announcements in I-Kiribati and this
announcement in English: "This is Radio Kiribati, the broadcasting service
of Kiribati, in the Central Pacific. We're transmitting from Bairiki Atoll
on a frequency of 846 kiloHertz, on 354.6 metres in the mediumwave band".

Radio Kiribati (formerly Radio Tarawa) is currently the country's sole
broadcaster. In 1998 an attempt to set up a commercial competitor, Newair
FM101, failed to get off the ground when the radio station's directors were
prosecuted for "importing telecommunications equipment without a permit".
However, the station still hopes to obtain a licence and retains a website
at http://www.users.bigpond.com/newairfm.

The small independent nation of Kiribati is situated in the Pacific Ocean
halfway between Hawaii and Australia.  It was formerly known as the Gilbert
Islands, part of the British colony of Gilbert and Ellice Islands, until the
two island groups were separated and given autonomy in 1975 (the Ellice
Islands becoming Tuvalu) then attained full independence in 1979.  Kiribati
today has 33 main islands occupying a land area of  811 square kilometres,
scattered over an ocean area the size of the continental United States, with
an estimated total population of around 103,000, including about 35,000 in
Tarawa, the capital. Local time is UTC +12 hours.

An edited audio clip of Radio Kiribati can be heard on the Interval Signals
Online website at www.intervalsignals.net. The 5-minute clip comprises the
following: "It Must Have Been Love" interval signal/signature tune & live ID
(English), canned ID (I-Kiribati), bilingual sign-off announcements, canned
ID (I-Kiribati), choral national anthem.

Микронезия
Public radio services from the four constituent states of the
Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) are accessible live online at www.fm, a
website run by local telecom provider FSM Telecommunications Corporation.

The following radio stations are available:
Chuuk (formerly Truk) State - BWXX FM 89.5 (V6AK)
Yap State - KUTE FM (V6AI)
Kosrae State - Voice of Kosrae V6AJ
Pohnpei (formerly Ponape) State - Voice of Pohnpei V6AH

In addition to the live streams the entire programme output for the previous
three days are nominally available on-demand as 18-hour audio files.
However, when checked on 14 November it was found that this feature was
actually only functioning for Yap station KUTE FM, and in the case of BWXX
FM (Chuuk) both the live stream and the on-demand files were silent.

All stations typically broadcast at 0600-2400 local time (UTC +10 hours
Chuuk, Yap; UTC +11 hours Kosrae, Pohnpei). Programming is in
indigenous languages and English, including some news and business
programmes from overseas broadcasters such as the BBC and Radio Australia.

Voice of Pohnpei V6AH has its own long-dormant website with programme
schedules at www.fm/ppbc.

The Federated States of Micronesia are part of the Caroline Islands
archipeligo located in the Pacific Ocean, north east of Papua New Guinea. In
the aftermath of World War II these islands formed part of the Trust
Territory of the Pacific Islands, a United Nations trusteeship under US
administration, emerging as a separate political entity with the
adoption of a constitution in 1979. Independence was attained in 1986 under 
a "Compact of Free
Association" with the USA, an agreement providing guaranteed financial
assistance from the US in return for certain defence rights.

Maps, photos, links and a wealth of information on the FSM can be found
on the tourist organization's attractive website at
www.visit-micronesia.com.

Clips from three of these stations can be heard on the Interval Signals 
Online website at www.intervalsignals.net

Россия
Похоже, идея Российского DX-конкурса опять перекочевала через несколько улиц
на территории Казани. Эстафету от Ильдуса Ибатуллина, который проводил
конкурс в 2005 году, беру опять я, Дмитрий Мезин.

Первые наметки:

- конкурс будет проходить, как обычно, в феврале -- начинаться вечером в
пятницу и заканчиваться чуть больше чем через неделю, утром в понедельник.
Например, с 10 по 20 февраля 2006.

- раскладка по частям будет привычной:

1) прием стран бывшего СССР и всего мира
2) прием станций России
3) DX-викторина.

- идей нового конкурса Российского союза DX-истов мы использовать не будем.
Об этом просят его функционеры в газете "Российский Радиолюбитель" N 10
(13) -- и на самом деле, идеи у нас разные. Денежных призов, в отличие от
предлагаемых РСDX, не будет -- опять чисто литература, полученная по дружбе
от спонсоров. И национальным конкурс тоже не будет -- наоборот, он уже
несколько лет открытый, международный. В английском названии конкурса я в
этот год решил это особо отразить. На английском языке мероприятие будет
называться "8th Russian Open DX Contest".

- по подсчету очков хочу попробовать систему итальянского конкурса -- число
101 минус процент участников, которые данную станцию слышали (с
отбрасыванием дробной части). Т.е. за редкие станции невозможно будет
получить больше 100 очков.

Если у кого-то будут идеи, интересные вопросы для викторины и все такое
прочее -- пишите! Через час-другой я открою адрес dxc2006 @ dxsignal.info,
куда можно будет направлять все по части конкурса. Ну, и в open_dx, и по
моему личному мылу тоже можно!!!

Space Weather News for Nov. 16, 2005
http://spaceweather.com

BIG SUNSPOT:  An impressive sunspot, "NOAA 822," has appeared on the
Earth-facing side of the sun.  Measured from end to end, it is wider
than Jupiter, and it is crackling with M-class (medium-sized) solar
flares.   So far none of the explosions has hurled a coronal mass
ejection toward Earth.  Geomagnetic storms and auroras are possible,
however, if this 'spot unleashes a major flare in the days ahead.

TAURID FIREBALLS:  The Taurid meteor shower, which peaked in early
November and should be subsiding, continues to produce fireballs,
according to reports submitted to the American Meteor Society.  If
you're outside at night this week, keep an eye on the sky for bright
meteors. (Mike Terry, UK - dxldyg 620)

На сайте "Голоса далеких стран" (http://dxsignal.info) размещена 
новая публикация -- сводное расписание работы радиостанций, вещающих 
на русском языке. Составил расписание Василий Гуляев из Астрахани. 
Василий, спасибо за ценный материал!

Найти расписание можно с главной страницы и из DX-читальни. Файл 
формата PDF, размер 100 кБ. Если хотите скачать файл на компьютер, 
жмите на ссылку правой кнопкой и выбирайте "Сохранить объект как" (в 
IE) или аналогичный пункт, если у вас другой браузер.
