Короткие Волны

Австралия
How important was that rugby game, caught my attention
this Wednesday June 14 as I was checking 6080 to see
if clashing between Radio Australia and Radio
Singapore persists at 1145. Well, no sign of RSI at
all, not even in the background, just this match
//9580//9590 and surprisingly 12080 Brandon was still
there, with its fake (?) 10 Kw, at a time propagation
is not so favorable from Down Under on this frecuency.

Иран
Since today IRIB uses for German 1730-1830 new 7540 in addition to 11855
and 15085, asking for reports on the performance of this frequency
because they need to know for economical reasons (I gather from this
wording that this is a test and they are not able to keep three
frequencies indefinitely, hardly a surprise when considering that they
were already off shortwave entirely). See original message below,
received via Volker Willschrey.

Here 7540 is in fact the best signal. On 15085 I note a loud squeal,
difficult to make out in a hurry whether it is of local origin or
generated by the transmitter itself. The audio processing on 7540
differs considerably from 11855 (bass range below ca. 120 Hz suppressed
only on 7540), making me wonder about the site. 11855 is Sirjan (the new
10 x 500 kW Telefunken plant), so 7540 appears to originate from
elsewhere. (Kai Lugdwig, Germany - dxldyg)

Глушение
Firedrake Jamming & UnId station. 11560 Khz, 6/10/06, 1128 - 1159:30.
SINPO 24333. Usual Chinese Firedrake (Chinese opera) jamming signal.
Firedrake off at 1159:30. A female speaker in an UnId language and much
softer (14331) underneath until 1200 sign off. No ID or music at sign off
was notable. (No s/on of WYFR from Taiwan at 1200 could be heard here.)

The only reference I could find to any station on this frequency at this
time was a 1100 - 1200 RFA in Lao listed in the A06 WRTH supplement. This
was not reported in any other schedule I could find (including EiBi, ILG, DX
Asia or Feb. - May, 2006 DXLD). Second time I've heard this jamming, but
the first to have heard a station under the jamming.

DRM
В течение месяца по субботам и воскресеньям пробовал принять трансляции Немецкой волны на 21820 кГц из Trincomalee. Всего лишь один раз удалось на частоте зафиксировать анализатором DRMCalc что-то похожее на сигнал, но с очень низким уровнем, при котором даже идентификация не была принята. Сегодня вообще ничего не удалось принять, и в расписании на официальном сайте консорциума я сегодня не нашел вообще упоминания о вещании на этой частоте.

Коллеги с форума radioscanner.ru, комментируя мое сообщение о трансляциях в диапазоне 26 МГц, сообщили, что недавно диапазон открывался в Москве, и все активные частоты цифрового вещания были слышны там. Но мне пока что не удалось ничего принять в этом диапазоне, несмотря на все недавние Es прохождения.

Также не удалось вчера ночью принять новую частоту в средневолновом диапазоне, на которой началось вещание в Германии - 1593 кГц. Транслируется программа WDR Klassik из Langenberg, и не в последнюю очередь не удалось из-за высокого уровня локальных шумов, от которых уже временами не спасают ни рамочная антенна, ни компьютер с радиоприемником на аккумуляторах. Похоже, что скоро вновь придется перебираться в гараж или на природу подальше от этого мусора. Сегодня у нас, кажется, наконец-то наступило лето.

Из принятого на этой неделе отмечу Немецкую волну на 11640 кГц из Sines, WRN на 11890 кГц из Flevo и WRN из Софии на 11540 и 5820 кГц с идентификацией CVC.

Голос России транслирует параллельно с 16 до 17 часов UTC передачи на 9450 и 9810 кГц на французском и немецком языках соответственно. Слушал обе передачи в субботу. Надо сказать, что по сравнению с началом сезона качество приема Голоса России в диапазонах 49 - 31 метр у нас улучшилось, чего нельзя сказать о частотах 12060 и 15780 кГц. На последних двух не принимаю, по-прежнему, ничего.

С учетом последних принятых новых сейчас у меня в коллекции 129 частот, на которых я принимал программы цифрового вещания.

Как всегда, полная информация на сайте http://www.travelradio.lv

MANY PSK31 TX.
(Walter Cappoza, Italy - udxf 104)
--
УКВ

Wednesday afternoon (7/6/06)from about 1300z I received a video carrier
on 48.249.854Mhz, the signal had Sporadic E characteristics to the
fading but was buried under Spain and didn't reach picture level until
1430z by which time Spain had faded out. Scenes were of a group of
people dancing in what I'd describe as an African style, the clothing
and headgear suggested it was African too. Two logo's were spotted both
in the TRHC, the first resembled a J with a box in the middle of it and
the latter, seen on the photo is a dark box with diagonal strokes across
it. Signal level was quite unstable and rarely managed to lock
sufficiently to get a decent photo, hence the processing on the grab,
during the many periods of slipping video no VITS were seen on the
picture. Beam heading was around 170?, the only other signal present on
band 1 was Italy via Es although Tunisia had been very active on B2
shortly before.

About thirty minutes later when the UNID had dropped back below video
level a messy carrier started to fade in just above the regular signals,
this poorly modulated carrier was thought to be Equatorial Guinea, wider
than when I last saw it via TEP some years ago but still with the
unmistakable sound.

I've emailed TVDXers in both Portugal and South Africa as both have a
much better chance of knowing the current African transmitter line up
due to TEP. First reply from Ian Roberts in S.A. suggested that the
offset was Kenya but also confirmed the higher 'mess' was almost
certainly Eq. Guinea. Also mentioned was the lack of prop down there
apart from some brief TEP early afternoons. The reply from Hugh Cocks in
Portugal was very interesting..

"The offset ties in with Cameroon.
They also use no Vertical Interval Test Signal at the top of the picture
(whenever
I've seen it)....

This must be Cameroon,good catch.

The logo is on the top right,sort of zigzaggy thing in a grey box.
Station is STV Cameroon (Spectrum TV).Started about 2 years ago.

They are on satellite at 72 East Panamsat"

So, much digging and googling later I've still not found a copy of STV's
logo shown in the photo, I'm hoping to enlist the help of someone with
PAS4 capability at the weekend to see if STV1 is on it. What I did
eventually turn up was an almost non existent website for STV, this just
about confirms that I did see Cameroon on E2 yesterday afternoon. I now
have both phone and fax numbers for STV and will try to contact them to
confirm this reception. Assuming the transmitter is in Yaounde, this
makes the path 5322km from here on the south coast of the UK, Yaounde is
also due East of Malabo, Eq. Guinea.

First link is to a waterfall display showing the various carriers
received yesterday afternoon, Bantiger and Navacerada are weak Es and
ionoscatter but I can only presume both Cameroon and Eq. Guinea are via
TEP with an Es extension into Europe. The lack of amateur radio
activity, beacons and such like in middle Africa means many of these
openings go unnoticed.

This next link shows the best grab from the screen with the dark logo TRHC.

this morning from PAS4 showing STV2.

Band 1 antenna's almost reads like a who's who of transmitters!

Сегодня где-то в 18 мск получил смс от Сергея Винокурова о том, что он
наблюдает сильное спорадическое прохождение на УКВ.
Включаюсь ровно в 18.00 МСК - прохождение в самом разгаре.
Сейчас 21.27 МСК, а станции всё ещё прослушиваются.
Временами сигнал был такой силы, что станции, которые расположены от
меня в 1 км просто забивали иностранные радиостанции.
Отдельно не записывал кто и где работал, а просто получал удовольствие
от услышанного. Слышны были радиостанции из Италии, Израиля, Германии,
Румынии, Польши, Украины, Чехии и ещё каких=то стран, язык которых я
не смог идетифицировать и понять кто откуда.
На протяжении всего периода прослушивания наблюдалось довольно сильное
замирание сигнала некоторых радиостанций.
Обидно, что выше 108 МГц прохождение не "поднялось". Поспрашивал у
укавистов - в Липецке на 144 МГц спорадика не было

Сегодня возвращался из Риги и примерно с 6 до 8 вечера в районе от Риги до Салдуса наблюдал очень сильное прохождение из Турции на участке от 87.5 - до 95-97МГц - просто гремела на отдельных частотах. На 88 МГц еще обнаружил Норвегию - NRK P3, которую вскоре вытеснила та же Турция. (Владимир Казгунов, Лиепая, Латвия - open_dx 1211)

Весьма продолжительное время ничего не сообщал в оупен-ну, были причины. Радио слушаю непостоянно и умеренно. Тоже относится и к спутниковому приему. Со здоровьем проблемы, а все прочее дело наживное.

Es 31 мая 2006.
(для меня первый спорадик сезона).
Около часа дня по Москве (9 по всемирному) включил приемник, обнаружил умеренной силы спорадик на УКВ1 v в основном, с юга России. Более чем занятен прием чеченской станции на 72.47 (объявлялась частота 103.6). YL DJ Ася вещала на русском языке, песни по заявкам, ну и тп. Жарко у них там, обещали на 1 июня 31 v 33 с плюсом (никто не помнит, какая температура в эпицентре ядерного взрыва?). Более часа проходило Р Русь на 71.90. Ну, а в основном, РР\ Маяк, и несколько Р Юность. Не слишком активно и внимательно
лазал по диапазонам, где-то в 11.15 на УКВ2 обнаружил несколько турецких передатчиков, но всего несколько минут.

В период примерно с 08.00 до 09.30 слабо проскакивали турки, итальянцы, плюс заблудившиеся арабы (97.1 и 94.3 v которых я, конечно же, не идентифицировал). Забрели несколько немцев да еще словацкое Fun Radio 94.3 (RDS as FUNRADIO MUZIKOLA-). На УКВ1 ничего кроме венгров на 72.86.

13 июня.
Вечером, где-то с 16.10 относительно слабо, но в немалом количестве турки, несколько с RDS, с 16.30 появились греки, и в районе 16.40 болгары. Скорее всего, смежные районы-но, ничего нового для себя я не услышал (либо прошляпил).

14 июня.
Утром около 06.10 были очень слабо слышны греки, турки, итальянцы. Возможно, спорадик не прекращался весь день, но я включил приемник около 12.00 v и с перерывами мог наблюдать (и отмечать) дальние станции. Собственно, для меня это первое мощное прохождение в сезоне. Шли, в основном турки, немного греки, Балканы, итальянцы, вероятно австрияки, скандинавы, и заплутавшие чехо-словаки и поляки-может быть, Швейцария, также. Закончилось Es позже 19.30, что довольно примечательно.

Экспедиция
This past weekend, I met with DXers John Bryant and Don Nelson for two
nights of fishing for exotic signals at Grayland, Washington. It was great
to see Don again after well over a year of our paths not crossing at
DXpeditions; and John has recently returned to the Pacific Northwest where
he is nearing completion of his summer and fall home on beautiful Orcas
Island.

A few days before the DXpedition I felt a mild cold coming on, but I had
hopes that it would pass quickly and not bother me while at Grayland.
Nope--no such luck. Half way through the weekend, my head felt like an
inflated weather balloon and my voice trailed away into broken, raspy speech
as laryngitis set in. At least the fun of DXing would keep my mind off the
misery!

Besides DXing, we each had related pursuits at Grayland. Don has been
assembling a very impressive amateur radio setup, and during the daytime he
was trying out a firmware upgrade to his computerized/motorized "Steppir"
vertical antenna, along with working the kinks out of an amplifier and
accessories. John erected a large 27 ft. X 100 ft. EWE antenna with
adjustable termination to compare to the Beverages. I brought along my Eton
E1 portable receiver, for what I expected would be very unfair comparisons
against communications receivers.

John's carefully constructed large EWE antenna was disappointing in its
performance at Grayland, with signals many dB down, providing no edge in S/N
or signal intelligibility. In contrast, John says the large EWE is a
"Beverage beater" back in his Oklahoma pasture land. Dramatic differences in
ground conductivity are probably to blame, as we've always had difficulty
getting good grounds in the sandy soil of Grayland.

The night of the 10th began with very good signals from Papua New Guinea on
the tropicals, but virtually no signals or hets anywhere on medium wave.
Finally, past 1000 UTC, some MW TP signals were heard; first were the
Japanese, but then conditions quickly shifted to Australia and remained that
way through dawn. The 11th was similar, but with far weaker PNGs on 90
through 60 meters (Wantok Radio Light was at good to very good levels both
nights, though).

We had high hopes for spectacular MW propagation across the Pacific, based
on the low solar flux and A/K indices the previous days. Unfortunately
reception turned out to be "average", but I'll take average any day over the
truly lackluster MW reception I experienced in January and April at the WA
coast.

This DXpedition was my first chance to hook the portable Eton E1 to a "real"
antenna. I fully expected the front end to "fold" when connected to the
Beverage antennas, but happily the E1 responded beautifully. It was great
fun to cruise the tropical bands and MW splits with the Eton, and experience
reception which in most cases was every bit as high performance as that
provided by communication receivers. Particularly memorable was listening to
World Cup soccer on 2NR Grafton, Australia (738 kHz) using the synch-AM
detector in LSB selectable sideband to avoid the domestic on 740.

Click on the links below to hear a couple of DX audio recordings made with
the E1:

Check my SDR-1000 blog site (URL below) in a few days for comments and
recordings relating to the Flex-Radio's performance on the DXpedition.

Hopefully the MW trans-Pacific logs are of interest to some Cumbre DXers, so
I've included them in the logs below.


------------------------------------

MEDIUM WAVE

558 UNIDENTIFIED Unid, Jun 10 1310 - Two stations mixing on 558: Japanese
talk and music (presumed JOCR Kobe) and Aussie accented English with talk
and an oldies tune (4GY Gympie?). Pretty low level for both stations.
(Atkins-WA)

594 JAPAN JOAK Tokyo, Jun 10 1118 - First het and audio noted on the MW band
tonight. Faint signal of male and female announcers in Japanese; improving
to fair by 1122. (Atkins-WA)

612 AUSTRALIA 4QR Brisbane, Jun 11 1240 - Interview or talk show with male
and female announcers, discussing bird flu. Parallel to 702 Sydney, also on
the Metro network. Nice signal on peaks. (Atkins-WA)

684 FIJI Radio One, Labasa, Jun 11 1304 - Presumed. Nice choral female
vocals and drumming at 1304; slowly giving way to a presumed Australian in
English. Back to island music at 1308. Fair signal at best. (Atkins-WA)

738 AUSTRALIA 2NR Grafton, Jun 10 1126 - Low level signal, with Aussie
accented English. Seemed to be talk on FIFA World Cup. Later at 1210, the
signal was much stronger and competing co-channel with RFO Tahiti in French.
Noted parallel 594 3WV Horsham at 1219. (Atkins-WA)

774 JAPAN JOUB Akita, Jun 11 1127 - Noted in passing at fair level with male
announcer in Japanese. Parallel to 828 Osaka (stronger) and 747 Sapporo.
(Atkins-WA)

783 AUSTRALIA 8AL Alice Springs, Jun 10 1220 - Presumed 8AL with good
signal, but not parallel VL8T on 2325 (Alice Springs 2310 is off for
maintenance, if i recall.) Very strong at times, with male and female
announcers in English. Discussion of Tamil rebels in Sri Lanka at 1239.
Noted with BBC relay of World Cup soccer (parallel 9740) at 1255 to time
pips at 1300 and into BBC world news. 8AL was a full 3 to 4 seconds behind
9740 (satellite delay). John Bryant notes this could possibly be 2YA Access
Radio in Wellington, NZ running BBC soccer coverage rather than 8AL, but as
he mentions there were no other Kiwis heard this morning. (Atkins-WA)

792 AUSTRALIA 4RN Brisbane, Jun 10 1242 - Nice program of classical and jazz
music with male announcer discussing selections. '14 minutes until 11' time
check at 1246. S-9 +10 dB signal!. (Atkins-WA)

891 AUSTRALIA 5AN Adelaide, Jun 11 1140 - Interview with announcer and male
guest; seemed to be discussing Australian politics. Noted parallel 2325 ABC
network, but 891 was mixing co-channel with presumed 4TAB Innisfail at times
with discussion of horse racing. Fair level. (Atkins-WA)

963 UNIDENTIFIED Unid, Jun 11 1210 - Pop music and female vocals at tune-in;
best on SW Beverage. Male announcer in English with possible ID at 1218, but
too faint to decipher. (Atkins-WA)

1098 MARSHALL ISLANDS V7AB Majuro, Jun 10 1020 - Very likely Majuro here
putting in a brief appearance, with island music and vocals in pres.
Marshallese. Fair level for a few seconds, then back to threshold audio.
Definitely not a South Pacific night! Noted a moderately strong open carrier
on 1098 while trolling past the frequency later in the morning. (Atkins-WA)

1566 SOUTH KOREA HLAZ Cheju, Jun 11 1145 - Sermon and hymns in Chinese;
typical for HLAZ at this time prior to switching to Japanese language at
1230. Strong and clear signal, and particularly enjoyable on the Eton E1
with synch-AM mode. (Atkins-WA)

--------------------------------------

SHORTWAVE

INDIA 4910, 1320-1340, AIR Jaipur Jun 10 Weak but increasing signal
approaching Jaipur sunset. Subcontinental music at tune-in, then apparent
news items in Hindi by male announcer at 1330. John Bryant and I compared
signals carefully on 4910, using my modded R-75, the SDR-1000, and my newest
acquisition, the Eton E1. The best signal? The Indian-made Eton E1 in its
remarkable synchronous AM mode! Antenna in use was a 1000 ft. NW Beverage
antenna connected directly to each receiver. The E1 never showed signs of
overload from this lengthy antenna, even on medium wave, where it provided
very impressive reception (for a portable receiver) of trans-Pacific
stations, such as the uncommon 8AL outlet in Alice Springs, Australia on 783
kHz. (Atkins-WA)

INDONESIA 2960, 1050-1110, RPDT2 Manggarai Jun 10 Presumed. Female announcer
reading a list of some sort, with many mentions of Indonesian city names and
individual names. Perhaps the Indo version of 'communicados'. No pause or ID
at top of hour, but some mentions of Manggarai at 1108. Nice S4 signal.
(Atkins-WA)

PAPUA NEW GUINEA 3205, 1210-1216, R. West Sepik Jun 10 Very good signal of
PNG pops music and male announcer in Pidgin with mentions of Vanimo, Papua
New Guinea, and Sandaun. Phone interview at 1215. I did not do a formal
bandscan of PNGs, but the following were also noted in passing: 3260 R.
Madang; 3325 R. North Solomons; 3355 R. Simbu (weak-tentative); 3385 R. East
New Britain; 3905 R. New Ireland; 4960 Catholic Radio Network; and 7120
Wantok Radio Light (see separate logs on these last two). (Atkins-WA)

PAPUA NEW GUINEA 4960, 0845-1005, Catholic Radio Network Jun 10 Mellow
acoustic guitar music and Christian vocals at tune-in. Into Catholic mass at
top of hour without break or ID. I reviewed the recording of this station
later, and noted that the Vatican Radio interval signal was heard at 1002
UTC, followed by a weak 'Catholic Radio Network' ID by man in English. Poor
to fair signal at best. (Atkins-WA)

PAPUA NEW GUINEA 7120, 0805-0940, Wantok Radio Light Jun 11 Very impressive
and strong signal tonight. Sermon in Pidgin by native pastor; acapella
vocals in English; Christian contemporary music selections. Female
announcer in English with time check '15 minutes past seven o'clock' and
Wantok Radio Light ID; introduction to local gospel music group with song
'Hosanna, Hosanna'. At 0900, into relay of NBC (Port Moresby) news. At 0910,
an interesting PSA for malaria treatment was heard; the text from my
recording: 'Every year in Papua New Guinea, there are more than one million
reported cases of malaria. That means about one quarter of Papua New
Guineans suffer from malaria each year. But malaria can be treated by
sleeping under treated mosquito nets every night. The mosquitos that spread
malaria only breed at night. Treated mosquito nets are safe for you and your
family, and enable everyone to get a good night's sleep. Mosquito nets do
protect against malaria. Pregnant women and children under five are at most
risk of dying from malaria, and must sleep under a treated mosquito net
every night. Be sure to have enough net for the whole family; the more
people protected by mosquito net, the greater the level of protection for
the whole community. They come in a range of sizes-- single, double, and
extra large, and are available at the grocer or your local store. Get more
information from your provincial health office; buying treated mosquito nets
is the best investment you can make to protect your family from malaria.
Malaria can be treated and cured. Sleep under a treated mosquito net every
night, and together we can beat malaria.' (Wow...more than a million cases
each year in PNG alone? Why are a few cases of bird flu getting all the
Western press? Third world issues always take a back seat, it seems.)

VANUATU 3944.8, 0945-1115, R. Vanuatu Jun 10 Lengthy sermon in presumed
Bislama at tune-in; nice sing-sing music by choir and acoustic guitar. Conch
shell and drums at 1000, and into news items. A mix of contemporary
Christian and pop music was played up until 1111 when a female announcer
gave ID and full sign-off announcements including MW, SW, and FM
frequencies, and mentions of Port Vila. Into anthem and sign-off 1115*. Good
signal level, and very enjoyable on both the SDR-1000 and the Eton E1 with a
Beverage antenna. Our usual setup at Grayland includes an impedance matching
transformer ahead of a ARR preamp upstream of an 8-way passive Mini-Circuits
splitter. A separate trio of components is used with each of the Southwest,
West, and Northwest antennas. (Guy Atkins, Grayland, WA, Usa - CumbreDX 1559)

Сербия
Несмотря на то, что программы "Радио Сербии и Черногории" давно не
слышны в эфире, на сайте www.radioyu.org новости ежедневно
обновляются, а также выложены свежие обзоры прессы, аналитика и т.п.
Расписание старое, еще с начала сезона, ни о каких проблемах станции
ничего не говорится.

Кстати, "Радио Сербии и Черногории" 8 марта отметило свой 70-летний юбилей.

Интересно, что в интернет - версии станция объявляет себя уже как
"Радио Сербии", и новости в аудио-версии обновляются.
