but seriously malfing with sometimes FMing, sometimes just muddy audio and
relatively weak and WVLG coming through about equal level.  Presume "Arnie's

Checking Hmong Lao Radio, Sun Jan 15 at 1400 on 11785 via WHRI,
they were playing some really rustic ``barnyard`` music, followed by talk

Мексика
5999.97 Radio Insurgente I have been trying for their listed 
2100 UTC
Fridays only broadcasts since they announced resumption of SW 
transmissions
a few weeks ago.  I had not heard anything until today!
Got off the phone at 2107 and figured I'll go through the motions and 
try.
Turned on the rig and could heard two stations, one of which was in 
Spanish.  Once
the guy started mentioning "compeneros" and "trabajo politico" my ears 
really
picked up.
Reception was not that good and the co-channel station and there was 
splash
from a third station.   I'd say 3/3/3 or 3/2/2.
Once the man finished speaking there was a single male vocal song.  
Then
a woman came on and IDed in Spanish as "Aqui Radio Insurgente, la voz 
de los
sin voz."  She talked a bit more and then there was another song.
An impassioned man then came on at 2122, mentioning "pueblo Chiapas."
He only talked a bit and then a woman came on.  They went back and 
forth with one
talking then the other, with the guy mentioning "compeneros" and 
"Marko" a few
times.
There was then a canned ID by a woman with the same text as above 
(minus
the Aqui) and mentioning a frequency of 6 MHz.
All the announcers talked calmly and slowly.  While their signal was 
weak,
their modulation sounded fine as did the program production.  The 
transmitter was
quite steady as well.
When the station was peaking around 2120 it did not seem to make a 
difference
which antenna I used but it was definitely best on 240 degree antenna 
instead of the
180 after 2130.  The station faded quickly though and I didn't have 
much signal to work
with by 2140.
Radio Habana's carrier popped on at 2146 and killed the whole thing.  
It was an
open carrier so if I cranked the audio up all the way I could still 
hear Insurgente and
the other station but figured I was going to lose my hearing if Habana 
suddenly started
putting out audio.
I was very happy to get this one and most especially that I had the 
tape recorder
running.  It is real nice that this thing is really on SW, we need all 
the stations we can get. (Hans Johnson Jan 13, Ochopee, Florida, Usa - CumbreDX

with live ID, "...Radio Santa Monica..."
using the echo effect.  Everything over music.  Typical
morning wakeup format for a Peruvian station.

9525.00/11850.00 POLAND Radio Polonia; 1259-1355 15 January, 2006.  Open
carriers noted with the same, bad audio (low gurgling sound) on both channels,
then up with inteval signal, alternating with man "Radio Polonia" until 1300.
Female "This is Radio Polonia, the external voice of Poland" immediately into
news about the Pope, Ukranian parliamentary crisis, bitching about the price
of
Russian oil suppliers, etc., address, off at 1355.  Both channels clear, with
9525 fair, 11850 a little better and slowly improving to very good by 1340, 
with
9525 about equally going the opposite signal direction.  The lousy audio
remained throughout.  Very Old School Soviet-style, stale production and
delivery.  This is the first time I can recall logging Poland in ages, and I
must wonder how much longer this one will be around, what with the probable 
lack
of budget and what sounds like seriously faltering equipment.

Сингапур
Checking out AWR for signs of Wavescan, UT Sat Jan 14 at
2229: carrier came on 11655 via Guam, but show was a mixture of advice on child
wrangling, bible verses, and misc. preaching, originating with Voice of Hope
in
Pune, India, with Indian-accented English; off at 2259. Good signal tho, 34433,
with flutter. Should be another good time for Wavescan 24 hours later on UT
Sunday. I also checked 11960 just before 2200, and that was as expected, a
heavy collision with Star Radio via Ascension to Liberia. AWR with music went
off half a minute before SR, and then the frequency was clear.

Then on Sunday Jan 15 I checked 12065 again at 1600, but reception was much
worse this date, and could barely ascertain that the program was Wavescan. Also
checked other frequency 9585, but not until 1627 when it seemed to be slightly
better (Glenn Hauser, OK - dxldyg 686)

KJES tells Cumbre DX and hat their transmitter is down, but that 
they have

comfortable operating the 5 kW transmitter these days as they have not 
used it the last
two times their main unit has broken down. (Johnson Jan 13)

schlockfest of circa Pete Cetera-controlled Chicago "Baby, What A Big Surprise"
followed by (for those who couldn't get enough of Pete) the Cetera/Amy Grant
"Next Time I Fall In Love" duet and then -- just when you thought things
couldn't get any worse -- three Kenny G instrumentals.  At 2259, a
heavily-accented English woman with ID, partial schedule and useless frequency
references ("...16, 19, 25, 31 and 41 meter bands..."), then mention that the
upcoming program would be in Indonesian.  Indo man ID, into modern Christian

Poor condx tonight; short-skip dominated. Also, VERY mild weather; 10 degrees
C more than the average for this time of the year. Someone told me yesturday
that if all houses in the world were painted in white, then the average will
be 1 degree lower. Of course, this is because the white is reflecting the sun,
while the black is absorbing it making the objects and streets radiating warmness.
The question is wherever this is affecting DX ? Despite, excellent local-like
short-skip signals, I had nothing in the
mid distance between the 580 and 590 reception. I had a high-frequency growl
around the high side of 590 as well as between 590 and 600, but this is more
a local noise rather than needed Morocco-594. In fact, no TA and nothing decent
from Latin America either. This sub-par Latin logs would have been nice in the
spring or summer, but for January standards using an excellent portable in a
pretty good QTH like the West Island of Montreal, this is misery.

Another low-light was the absence of Vietnam-7220 for a nice possible SWDX catche.
I saw on playdx the stimade collegue Jos? Miguel Romero Romero catched this onein
eastern Spain, but the signal didn't reached this side of the pond or perphaps
the Sangean CST-818 and the long-wire splitter antenna system combo isn't so
powerful. I have more fun and plesure DXing MW with my Sanyo MCD-S830 AM-FM boombox
portable, but SW using the above described equipment. Still, hadn't logged nothing
from Bolivia or even Peru
on SW, altough this summer had presumably Radio del Pacifico 4975. I'm looking
forward logging these countries when someone on Cumbre, playdx or HCDX will have
a great reception during special condx. I also wonder if anyone in North America,
outside NF, ever logged Bolivia on MW. Since I'm just 18, I'm not aware of the
spectacular long-haul MW foreign catches made in NA during the so popular Monday
Morning Silent Periods. I know that in NF, Radio Canarari 1550 was logged! a
few times, but is that all since
1933 since the NRC begun ?

ДРМ
На этой неделе удалось после месяца наблюдений принять передачу RNW из Flevo
для Испании на новой для меня DRM частоте 7330 кГц с 22 часов UTC. Сейчас в
коллекции 111 частот. Аналоговая станция на 7320 кГц создавала ощутимые
помехи, периодически нарушая декодирование аудиосигнала. Параметры сигнала -
AAC+ mono, 17.46kbps. Максимальная частота аудио - 11 кГц. Немного позже
заметил MOI Kuwait для северо-востока Америки на частоте 11675 кГц со своими
неизменными 11.64kbps aac mono и максимальной частотой аудио - 3 кГц. Для
чего вещать в цифровом формате с таким битрейтом, который в результате дает
качество аудио хуже, чем при АМ, честно говоря, не понимаю. На 9880 кГц для
северной Африки Кувейт вещает с таким же битрейтом. В отличие от передач из
Кувейта TDP radio по субботам с 14 до 16 часов транслируется с битрейтом
20.96 kbps (макс.аудио - 13.5 кГц) в стереорежиме, также как и Радио
Люксембург на 7295 кГц. Еще с битрейтом 20.96 kbps можно принять ВВС, но в
моноварианте, а большинство вещателей в последнее время остановились на
компромиссном варианте 17.4 kbps, ниже которого DRM уже начинает заметно
уступать по качеству аудио аналоговому вещанию. Пока не удается принять TDF
на частоте 3965 кГц, который вещает с мощностью 1 кВт из Issoudune,
возможно, что из-за высокого уровня локальных помех в этом диапазоне.

Прочее
На моем сайте опубликована статья Владимира Дорошенко о спутниковом
телерадиовещании. На нее можно попасть из новостей с главной страницы или
через DX-читальню.

Прямая ссылка:
http://dxsignal.info/read/sat_rtv.htm

Появление статьи не означает, что я стал фанатом спутникового DX-инга!!!
Впрочем, и сам Владимир свой телерадиоприем DX-ингом не называет. Так что
будем считать, что речь идет о техническом прогрессе (а также о том, куда
деваются люди, оставившие свое DX-увлечение ;-))

В статье есть кое-какие упоминания пиратства, но я отредактировал их так,
чтобы они звучали информационно-отстраненно, а не побудительно.

Интернет-граббинг -- тоже штука довольно двусмысленная, хотя по большому
счету это то же самое, что и прием служебной радиосвязи. Т.е. этические
нормы не нарушаются, пока полученная информация используется в личных целях.
(Дмитрий Мезин, Казань, Татарстан, Россия - open_dx 1011)

На dxsignal.info опубликованы окончательные условия 8-го Российского
DX-конкурса.

http://dxsignal.info/rodxc2006/rodxc06ru.pdf

На самом деле они окончательные уже с 9-го числа; похоже, я забыл объявить
об этом, сорри... Прошу всех, кто имеет такую возможность, рассказать о
конкурсе в DX-публикациях, программах -- в общем, где только можно.

Анатолий Клепов и Ильдус Ибатуллин уже предоставили кое-какие призы. Как
повелось в последние годы, это DX-литература. Если кому-то еще не жалко
расстаться с хорошими DX-материалами, организатор с благодарностью примет их
в призовой фонд.

Вопросы принимаются по адресу dxc2006@dxsignal.info.

Прошу всех, кто примет участие в конкурсе, в своих отчетах указывать, какие
справочные DX-материалы у них есть (WRTH, PWBR и т.п.) Чтобы не получилось,
что в качестве приза вы получите уже имеющуюся книгу.

Отдельное обращение к тем, кто заинтересовался конкурсом, но боится не найти
на него достаточное количество времени. Я всегда считал, что в таких
мероприятиях главное -- это участие, массовость. Даже если вы наберете
немного очков и займете невысокое место, никто не будет считать, что вы
плохой DX-ист. Так что дерзайте и не комплексуйте!
