ARGENTINA RAE Buenos Aires is now using nominal 15345 kHz for its
foreign language broadcasts, with nomimal 11710 kHz not heard the past
2 days. As I write this, 0210 UT 24 Febr, English is heard with very good
reception on 15345.36 kHz. The previous day the frequency was 15345.14
kHz. English is scheduled at 0200 UT, French from 0300 UT (after an
attractive and lengthy rendition of the Argentine National Anthem). With
no interference from adjacent or nominal 15345 kHz, this is the best
reception I have had of the English service from RAE in some time.

AUSTRIA Vienna - Bisamberg Transmitter RIP.
If reports that I read are correct, today is the day for the destruction
of the antenna masts of the old Vienna MW transmitter. It used to use both
585 kHz and 1476 kHz and transmissions on these frequencies closed years
ago [1995].
There are two masts on site, and one has already fallen (at 1100 UT, I
believe) and one is due to be felled at 1400 UT. More information (in
German - you could try one of the on-line translation tools to understand
it) is available from:

Sprengung der Masten des Senders Wien-Bisamberg
Noch ragt die Spitze des Nordmasts in den Nebel. Anbringung der
Sprengsaetze - dann geht es weiter hoch, bis die Sprengmeister kaum noch
zu erkennen sind. Ueber einen Kran werden die Zuendschnuere an den
Pardunen angebracht und zu Boden gefuehrt.

Sender am Bisamberg werden gesprengt - der Senderaum bleibt erhalten
Die Sprengung der beiden Mittelwellen-Sendemasten am Wiener Bisamberg wird
am 24. Februar 2010 stattfinden. Beim Abtragen von Oesterreichs hoechstem
Bauwerk, dem 265 Meter hohen Nordmasten und seinem 120 Meter hohen Pendant
wird die Oeffentlichkeit auf zwei eigens eingerichteten Aussichtsstellen
zuschauen koennen.
Bisamberg-Sendemasten werden gesprengt.
Grundsaetzlich wird eine Sicherheitszone rund um die beiden Masten
eingerichtet, weswegen die Zufahrtsstrassen zur Sendeanlage gesperrt sein
werden, sagte Gernot Radosits von der ORF-Sendetechniktochter ORS.
Interessierte sollten am besten ueber Langenzersdorf anreisen und sich zu
Fuss auf den Weg machen. Das Sicherheitspersonal wird die Zuschauer dann
einweisen. Auf der Aussichtsplattform wird es Tee und Kaffee geben.
Der eigentliche Mittelwellensender Bisamberg ist bereits seit 1995 nicht
mehr in Betrieb. Der Kern der Anlage wurde 1933 errichtet, allerdings 1945
von den abziehenden SS-Truppen zerstoert. In ihrer heutigen Form entstand
die Sendeanlage 1959 mit vier Sendern zu je 120 kW. Waehrend sich die
beiden gigantischen Masten auf Wiener Stadtgebiet befinden, liegt der
ueberwiegende Teil des Sendegebaeudes im niederoesterreichischen
Langenzersdorf.
(via Walter Perina-AUT, A-DX Feb 20)
The demolition will take place on Wednesday, Feb 24. The 1476 kHz mast
will be blown up at about 1100 UT, the 585 kHz mast at about 1400 UT.
Both demolitions will be broadcast live (starting at 1050 and 1350,
respectively) by TW 1, which is available free-to-air via 19.2 deg. East
on Astra 1H, 12.663 GHz h.
<http://blog.ors.at/stories/abtragung-der-masten-am-bisamberg/>
The complete antenna array of the Wien-Bisamberg mediumwave site will be
demolished at the end of February. So far it is not known what will happen
with the grounds. The transmitter building is under preservation order.
<http://wien.orf.at/stories/417899/>
Transmissions from this site, on 1476 kHz, ceased on 31 Dec 2008 at 2310
UT. At this point it was planned to blow up only the 265 m tall "Nordmast"
(northern mast), once used for the 585 kHz outlet that is silent for
almost two decades now. The 120 m "Suedmast" for 1476 kHz was supposed to
be kept, and Oesterreichische Rundfunksender GmbH told ADXB-OE that the
frequency would still be available for interested broadcasters. But now
they dump this option definitely.
Some photos of the antenna array:
<http://www.wabweb.net/radio/sender/bisamberg2005.htm>
More photos, also of the old tube transmitters, with a link to an even
larger photo collection that includes also a shot of the Thomson M2W
transmitter that had been used during the last years of operation:

This development makes the Moosbrunn site the only operational AM
transmission facility in Austria. (AM in the German meaning, technically
correct covering all amplitude-modulated broadcasting, also dubbed "LMK".)

Abtragung der Sendeanlage Bisamberg live auf TW1.
Am morgigen Mittwoch wird ein rundfunkgeschichtliches Monument endgueltig
abgetragen. Oesterreichs hoechstes Bauwerk, der 265 Meter hohe Nordmasten
und sein 120 Meter hoher Pendant am Wiener Bisamberg werden
voraussichtlich um 1200 und 1500 Uhr Lokalzeit gesprengt. TW1 nimmt dies
zum Anlass und sendet im Vorfeld der Sprengung eine Kurzdokumentation
ueber die Historie des Senders - von seinen Anfaengen im Jahr 1933 bis zur
endgueltigen Stilllegung in den 1990er Jahren. Nach dem Wiederaufbau und
der Reparatur kriegsbedingter Schaeden an der Sendeanlage in den 1950er
Jahren, galt der "Bisamberg" lange als Meilenstein in der Geschichte der
Rundfunktechnik. Mit fortschreitender Verbreitung von alternativen
Uebertragungsmoeglichkeiten, wie etwa Internet und digitaler
Sendetechnologie, wurde die Bedeutung analoger Mittelwellen Sendeanlangen
zunehmend obsolet und muendete schliesslich in der endgueltigen
Einstellung des Sendebetriebs im Jahr 1997.
Anschliessend an diese Kurzdokumentation uebertraegt TW1 die Sprengung
live in seinem Programm. Ergaenzend dazu zeigt TW1 am Mittwoch, 3. Maerz
2010, um 1945 Uhr MEZ eine Reportage ueber die umfassenden Vorbereitungen
rund um die Sprengung der Sendeanlage. Sendezeiten: Historie und Sprengung
am Mittwoch, 24. Februar 2010, live um 1150 Uhr und 1450 Uhr MEZ sowie

AZERBAIJAN/IRAN/ISRAEL 13645 kHz at 1600-1700, Voice of Southern
Azerbaijan?
In the radioescutas groupo, Fabricio Andrade Silva, Tubarao-SC, Brasil,
reports an unID on 13645 kHz, last Friday and Saturday between 1615 and
1700 UT. Long discussion of this in Portuguese I will spare you here, but
will be in next dxld. Suggestion is that V. of Southern Azerbaijan could
be on the air again. My reply:
"Southern Azerbaijan" is in fact over the border in IRAN; thus our
placement of this item.
*HISTORY*
"IRAN [non]. 9375, Voice of Southern Azerbaijan, *1629-1700*, Feb 06 and
13, Azeri talks with very frequent mentions of Azerbaijan, ID heard as:
"Danisir cenub Azerbaican Radiosu." 44444 slight CWQRM. It is probably the
same station which did broadcast on 13645 kHz around August 1998.
(Masato Ishii-JPN, and Anker Petersen-DEN, dswci DXW Feb 26 via dxld)"
Possibly they are back; it looks as if the 2003 report may also have been
after a long absence since 1998. It would be strange to resume the same
time and frequency of so long ago, but 1600-1700 UT happens to be a hole
in usage of 13645 kHz between India and China. With such a big signal in
southern Brasil, it is surely via one of the major SW transmitter sites
with time for sale. The new report was on Friday, and Adalberto says its
schedule was once on Thursdays and Fridays only, but Fabricio heard it
again on Saturday, so let's look for it this week.
The reference to qsl.net leads to
<http://www.clandestineradio.com/intel/station.php?id=86&stn=346>
which has not really been updated in years and has only very sketchy info
under IRAN, not Azerbaijan:
"Organization: National Revival Movement of Southern Azerbaijan (also
known as Southern Azerbaijan National Awakening Movement), which is linked
to the irredentist National Liberation Movement of Southern Azerbaijan.
Location Unknown
Languages Farsi
Identification Unknown
Active January 8, 2003 - present
Contact Unknown"
The audio link says "sign on January 23, 2003, but plug-ins are required.
It also mentions intervalsignals.net, and going there also under IRAN, we
find a nice 2-minute studio-quality (?) recording at

UNIDENTIFIED RADIO STATIONS
R. Free Azerbaijan?? From about late June[1996] a station in Azeri/Farsi
has been heard 1530-1630 UTC mixing with R. Netherlands to South Asia. The
QRM was bad making ID difficult. However, on 25 July an ID sounding"
...Azadese Azerbaijane..." was heard before it s-off at 1630 UTC. The word
"Azad" or similar sounding ones all mean 'free' in the central asiatic
languages as any DXer would know. So at once we presumed this was a
clandestine and sought the help of BBC_M and we were thrilled to get the
following info from Chris Greenway and we quote
"Victor, Thanks for this. This is definitely a scoop for you as we only
heard about the existence of this station on 25th July, so it was
interesting to know that you've been hearing it for a while. It appears to
be aimed at so-called "southern Azerbaijan", i.e. Azerbaijan province in
northwestern Iran, rather than the Republic of Azerbaijan itself. It's an
ANTI-Iranian operation. It's early days yet but I hope we'll be able to
let you know more soon."

station. Tnx Chris.

IRAN/AZERBAIJAN New SW clandestine station broadcasting to Iran. Some
interesting news for clandestine radio enthusiasts:
Voice of Southern Azerbaijan is a new clandestine station bc to Iran. The
schedule is 1530-1630 UTC on 12090 kHz. The signal here in the UK is
rather weak but clear as this is a clear channel. No jamming as yet. The
ID in Azeri is "Bura Janubi Azerbaijan Sasi" ("This is the Voice of
Southern Azerbaijan").
The station is aimed at the Azeri population in NoWe Iran, hence the use
of the term "Southern Azerbaijan". I think the credit for first hearing
the station must go to Victor Goonetilleke who tells me that he's been
hearing it since June. This is also the unidentified station reported by
Vladimir Titarev in DW Window 23. Although the station is announcing a
telephone number in the Netherlands we think the tx site is somewhere in
the Middle East.

objectives:
1. Complete national and cultural autonomy.
2. The Azeri language to be acknowledged in Iran as the second official
language. In Azeri regions, the Azeri language should be acknowledged as
the first language and should be taught in schools.
3. Azeris to have complete control over their region, their land, their
natural resources.
4. Economic equality, the people of Southern Azerbaijan not be
discriminated against.
5. Good education and training to be provided and the great traditions of
the Azeri people to be valued.
6. Azeri representatives be promoted to high positions within government
departments if they deserve to be promoted and not be discriminated
against.
7. The budget for the Azeri minority to be allocated according to the
population, or taxes [for Azeri people] to be reduced by as much as half

[IRAN non] The online newspaper Baku Today, quoting the press sce of SANAM
[Southern Azerbaijan National Awakening Movement], says that the first
independent radio of Southern Azerbaijanis, "Voice of South Azerbaijan
Radio", will start bcing progrmes directed towards South Azerbaijan in the
first week of January. The progrmes will be bc twice a week, says the

SANAM is one of the largest opposition groups in Iran. An estimated 16
million Azeris live in Iran, about twice as many as in Azerbaijan itself.

The following article published in March by the Swedish-based, Azerbaijan-
related website "Cehreganli"
<http://www.cehreganli.com/xeberler/radiok-english.txt>
might indicate that The Voice of Southern Azerbaijan (Gueney Azaerbaycan
Saesi Radiosu) towards Iran has been transmitted (resp. still is being
transmitted) from Azerbaijan on SW, and the stn has been planning to ask
the Azerbaijani Communications Ministry to change from SW to MW - provided
that the reported press conference has been taken place in the Azerbaijani
capital. Note that the text misspells the last used freq 9375 as "9537".
Quote: Voice of Southern Azerbaijan to be on air since March 21.
Founders of the radio will apeal to the communication ministry to alter
the bcing from short waves to middle waves.
Head of the Baku Bureau of Southern Azerbaijan National Revival Movement
(SANRM), Hussein Turkeli, head of Swedish Bureau Mahmud Bilgin and
employee of the R of Voice of Southern Azerbaijan Afsane Sulduzlu gave a
press conference yesterday (March 19, 2003).
In his address H. Turkelli said they decided to strengthen the activity of
Radio of Voice of Southern Azerbaijan, which is bced 2 times a week from
2000-2030 [sic 2030-2100] in short waves ranging 31mb 9537 [sic, 9375,
1530-1600 UT] MH freqs.
According to him, key objective of establishment of this Radio was to
organize the propaganda of a struggle conducted by 5 Southern Azeris for
heir destiny and liberation. However, the Iranian regime is very much
concerned by the activity of this radio and set up anti-propaganda
campaign in this respect.
He said that they are planning to appeal to the Communication Ministry to
alter the bcing from short waves to middle waves. Sevda Ilhamgizi end

Baku and transmitted to Northern Iran on 9375 via the Gäncä transmitting

"The txion of the radio of "Southern Azerbaijan Voice" was temporarily

DRM/INDIA DRM technology being demonstrated at RadioAsia 2010
One of the most eye catchy presentations at the RadioAsia 2010 conference,
being held in New Delhi (February 22-24) is the demonstrations of the Live
broadcast of radio by deploying the digital broadcast technology developed
by DRM (Digital Radio Mondiale) Consortium.
DRM Consortium, the principal sponsors for conference, is demonstrated the
difference that is created by digital broadcast over analogue for the
radio medium. "DRM is the global digital technology which can convert
analogue broadcasts to digital thus significantly improving the audio
quality and bringing many other benefits to broadcasters and listeners
through its added features" says the Consortium. [...]
In addition to the ongoing Conference, British Broadcasting Corporation
(BBC) is to broadcasting three hours in DRM everyday from 22nd-26th
February from 04.29:30 - 07.29:00 UT on 17760 kHz. For the first time this
year the broadcast will start with the daily Hindi programme followed by
current affairs in English.
Christian Vision Radio (CVC) will run DRM transmissions from 22nd-24th
February from 0830-1230 UT on 17590 kHz via Juelich site. The programmes
will be in Hindi.
[...] DRM Consortium Chair, Ruxandra Obreja, expressed hope that it
RadioAsia 2010 Conference would be a great success, "Radio Asia is being
held in India for the first time and is already shaping as a significant
radio event with industry representatives having committed to attend."
"This will be a great occasion to showcase the tremendous potential of DRM
and how it can change the future of radio broadcasting for good. We extend
our thanks to broadcasters who are putting in the special DRM
transmissions for this event and making it even more useful for the
participants," she remarked in a prepared statement.

The reports about the CVC showcase for the broadcasting fair that takes
place in Delhi next week made me wonder: Juelich?
Guess what, the site was silent for less than four weeks and is again in
use already since Nov 20, Mon-Fri between 1626 and 1659 UT only, for TWR
in Armenian on 5980 kHz, Thu and Fri also for Radio Xoriyo on 9820 kHz.
<http://www.media-
broadcast.com/fileadmin/user_upload/Downloads/B09_operational_060110.pdf>
It seems that the current state of the site is somewhat similar to what
IBB circles call "caretaker status", with transmitter engineers shortly
showing up on workdays and the transmitters being used for real
transmissions instead of testing them on dummy loads.
Would be another question for Glenn to ask Andrew Flynn, since in fact no
real information about this matter is available so far, other than what
appeared in the NASWA newsletter and the circumstance that first all
transmissions from Juelich ceased as of Oct 25, like Brother Scare on 6110
kHz which, sure enough, stays at Moosbrunn to which he has been
transferred.

Radio Oeoemrang 15245 kHz Wertachtal 500 kW at 1557-1700 UT on Feb 21
only.
At 1557 UT sender signed on at Wertachtal. My location is situated like in
the main lobe direction of 300 degrees towards zones 4,8,9 via Stuttgart,
Brussels, London, Edinburgh, and then Nova Scotia, into US Washington etc.
A smidgen fluttery which is not surpring in the 19 meterband, some 120
kilometers away of Wertachtal transmission site, S=9+20dB which is 55555
localy. At 16.00:04 UT anncmt in English, BUT STILL old details of last
year like February 21, 2009, mentioned 15230 kHz and Juelich 100 kW.
Then started in Frisian (lower German) language, which is similar to Dutch
West Frisian language spoken in North Western Netherlands. The Kiel
student Anna read the (local?) news and also a weather report of North Sea
area could be traced.
Powerful Wertachtal 500 Kilowatt Signal should "twist the spoons" in North
America ?
Dann begann es mit Friesich Platt, die Kieler Studentin Anna hatte auch
das Wetter drauf. Und auch noch ein Christoph in Platt war zugange.
Hier anbei noch zwei Mitschnitte von 15245 kHz, total stoerungsfreie

You didn't say what time this was Tom but it could have been NDR Info

just across the North Sea from Northumberland!).

That is exactly it. They broadcast Europe Today at those times. The only

You might be interested to know, that there is still another medium wave
outlet with regular English programming. In 2008 Antenne Saar, a public
radio channel with German-French focus, started re-transmitting 30 minutes
News/Newslink program of Deutsche Welle (2100-2130 CET-local time,
currently 2000-2030 UT) on 1179 kHz 10 kW and local DAB block 8B (thus
regional reach only).

Funkstille. Die Geschichte des Funkhauses Nalepastrasse
Film von Harald Quist. Erstsendung RBB: 31.10.2009.
"Funkhaus Berlin" steht am Eingang zu lesen, und wenn die alte Schranke
aus DDR-Zeiten von neuen Sicherheitsleuten geoeffnet wird, dann spuert man
ihn bald - den Geist des Hauses. Manchmal scheint es, als koenne er die
denkmalgeschuetzten Gebaeude neu beleben - wenn der Meisterpianist Murray
Perahia in Saal 1 Bach einspielt, der Schauspieler Dieter Mann ein
Hoerbuch von Joseph Roth liest oder der deutsch-italienische Saenger Nevio
im planet roc produziert. Das waren Sternstunden im Sommer 2009, aber die
meisten Tage daemmert das ehemals so lebendige Areal an der Spree vor sich
hin, wie im Wachkoma.
Guenter Gollasch, Jahrgang 1923, seit 1954 mit dem Rundfunk eng verbunden,
erinnert sich und packt dabei auch wieder einmal seine Klarinette aus.
Noch laenger ist Gerhard Steinke als Toningenieur im Rundfunk. Er
schwaermt von der einmaligen Akustik der Aufnahmesaele und klagt ueber die
grosse Orgel, die seit Jahrzehnten ausser Betrieb ist - "ein trauriges
Kapitel".
Die Jahre 1989-91 waren eine aufregende Zeit fuer den abzuwickelnden
Rundfunk der DDR. Christoph Singelnstein war Hoerspiel-Dramaturg und wurde
dann Intendant, Hannelore Steer war Redakteurin bei Radio Berlin
International und wurde Programmdirektorin. Beide erinnern sich in ihren
ehemaligen Arbeitsraeumen. Helmut Lehnert kam als Musikredakteur vom
Sender Freies Berlin in die Nalepastrasse, um das Jugendradio FRITZ
aufzubauen. Das Verhaeltnis zwischen den Kollegen Ost und den Mitarbeitern
West war "extrem gestoert", sagt er im Schutt der demolierten Studios im
Block E-R.
Hier ist zu sehen, was in der neuen Zeit der Funkstille durch Vandalismus
und kriminelle Machenschaften in der Nalepastrasse geschehen ist.

Mit dem Google-Zug durch Russland - gute Reise!
und siehe hier: <http://tinyurl.com/yjzsxle>
(Theo Averbeck-D, A-DX Feb 18)
Hobbymaessig gibt die gesamte Filmstrecke nichts her.
Nur Atamanovka Chita ist mit seinen 2 Masten ist sehr schoen zu sehen.
Die meisten Haeuser an der Strecke sind auch neu gestrichen, viele
Schmutzflecken werden durch farbenfrohe Tuerkis / weissgrau Bandzaeune
verdeckt. Auch viele neue Haeuser, viel Bahnpersonal und auch imposante
Eisenbahnbauten sind zu sehen.
Alles sehr farbenfroh, auch die Loks und Waggons gestrichen. Braun-rote
Gueterwaggons sind hoechstwahrscheinlich aus Russland, die gruen-tuerkisen
in Fernost aus China ?
Die noch sehr intakte Infrastruktur des Eisenbahnwesens - vergleichbar mit
der bluehenden Eisenbahn Anfang der 60ziger Jahre in Deutschland - ,
rueckt etwas die bleibenden Eindruecke zurecht, die noch sehr negativ von
den Bildern in den frueheren sehr verfallenen russischen Garnisonsbauten
in der DDR herruehren.
Kommentar zu der Regie der Aufnahmen:
die Loks muessten mit 2 Kameras bestueckt sein, die sofort umspringen,
wenn in Blickrichtung ein Gegenzug vorbei faehrt.
Ausserdem muesste die gesamte Strecke auch noch mal in der Gegenrichtung
abgefahren werden, damit auch noch ein anderer Blickwinkel entsteht.
Ausserdem sind die morgendlichen Aufnahmen gegen die tiefstehende Sonne zu
vermeiden und muessten durch Aufnahmen am Nachmittag ausgetauscht gehoert.
TX center Moscow Svelii Kupavna zwischen Schelesnodoroschny und
Elektrougli ist leider nur kurz als ein Mast zu sehen 19.25 bis 19.45
min/sec, weil dauernd Baeume rechts an der Strecke stehen. Die Aufnahme
zeigt nur die rechte/suedliche Seite von der Lok aus.
23 km suedoestlich von Kilometer-87 liegt das TX center Kurovskaya /
Avsiunino, aber viel zu weit weg von der Bahnstrecke.
Bei Babino vor Nishni-Nowgorod bei 7.45 min/sec sieht man 6...8 Masten
direkt rechts von der Bahnstrecke, und Tankwagen, koennten Blitzableiter
sein zur Brandvorsorge. Aber es sind nicht die RJH99 Masten des ehemaligen
Reichs-Kriegsmarine Senders aus Kalbe-Milde / Stendal. das sind 18 Masten
bei
56 10 16.03 N 43 56 03.75 E RJH99 RDL Nizhniy Novgorod, former Nazi WWII
marine radio Goliath Kalbe-Germany. Die stehen 12 km suedlich der TransSib
Strecke bei Gorbatovka weit weg von der TransSib.
Bei Minute-25 im Raum, bzw. Einfahrt Perm ueber die Kama Bruecke geht es
auf die suedliche Seite der Kama, damit weit weg vom MW Zentrum Perm.
TX center Ekaterinburg LW/MW liegt 5 km noerdlich von der TransSib auf der
linken Seite bei der Durchfahrt Ekaterinburg.
Bei Tyumen ist auch nichts sichtbar, TX nur 3 km vom Hbf. entfernt.
In Omsk ist auch nichts zu sehen. Mehrmals stoert auch ein sehr langer
Gueterzug auf dem Parallelgleis in Blickrichtung. Diese Streckenteile
muessten nochmals abgefahren, gefilmt und dann in die Gesamtstrecke
eingepasst werden.
Bei der Ausfahrt aus Omsk am Morgen sieht man eine Museums-Dampflok.
Novosibirsk, das KW Sendezentrum 12 km suedlich vom Hauptbahnhof. Auf der
rechten Seite Richtung Osten. Die Filmaufnahme zeigt aber leider nach
links.
TX center Oyash Raduga 8.40 bis 9.12min/sec ist links hinten ein hoher
Mast zu sehen, vielleicht die 171 / 270 kHz Langwelle Raduga ? Dann kommt
links ein Gueterzug ...
Krasnoiarsk, die Kamera filmt links, der lokale Sender ist auf der rechten
Seite. Nur 1 km entfernt von der Bahntrasse entfernt die beiden 216/594
kHz hohen Masten, leider nicht auf dem TransSib Film.
Angarsk 198 kHz LW rechte Seite am Bahnhof, aber TransSib Film leider auf
der linken Seite.
Irkutsk bei 4.40min/sec faehrt der Zug direkt am Sender vorbei - nur 240
Meter Distanz, leider die Kamera wieder an der falschen Seite. In der Lok
muessten zwei Kameras quasi als Fischauge angebracht sein, damit etwa 160
Grad vor der Lok eingesehen werden koennen.
Selenginsk TX 279 kHz LW auch auf der falschen Seite.
Endlich mal -- , Atamanovka Chita ist auf der linken Seite sehr schoen und
lange im Sonnenschein zu sehen. Ab 16.55min/sec bis 18.50min/sec nach
Abfahrt Chita. 2 x 50m Masten fuer Mittelwellen 1116/1395 kHz.
Bei 30min is rechts gegenueber auf der anderen Flussseite LW Chita 261 und
die Zarya MW 36masts 2.98 km lang 801 kHz gelegen, leider sieht man nur
die Boeschung auf der linken Seite.
Skovorodino Amur wieder Masten auf der rechten Seite gelegen, aber Kamera
filmt die linke Seite.
Belogorsk, sehr lieblos die Kamera in die Sonne positioniert,
Wassertropfen zu sehen, alles koennte viel professioneller gemacht sein.
vor allem beide Seiten der Strecke waeren abfilmen und auch in besserer
guter Qualitaet.
Bei 6 bis 7.25 Min sieht man im Hintergrund die MW Antenne Belogorsk.
50 53 11.69 N 128 32 02.90 E
Auch RAB-99 VLF Chabarovsk Nikolaevka auch auf der falschen Seite. Bei den
Sendezentren Khabarovsk und Vladivostok Razdolnye ist nichts zu sehen.
ps. natuerlich auch nichts linkerhand in der Mongolei zu sehen, weil das
der Abzweig nach China ist und dieser wird nicht gezeigt. Nils war dort
mit seiner Tochter, bei Ulan-Bataar Khonkhor 4081 4850 site, sowie Sain

Thursdays only. In French and Somali ("Codka Djibouti" "Voice of

<http://www.lavoixdedjibouti.com/index.php?p=1_4_Accueil>
- gives it as
1800-1900 Djibouti time (1500-1600 UT), but another (cached) version gives
1830-1930 LT (1530-1630 UT). Both agree it's on 15165 kHz. The 1530-1630
UT time is also given on a YouTube clip of the inaugural broadcast:
<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2P2AckZ763c>

broadcast? What's the site of the 15165 kHz?

This station is audible right now. Heard from tune-in at 1605 UT with good
signal here in the UK on 15165 kHz. Talk in Somali with many mentions of

Into French at 1612 UTC mentioned "nouveau radio ... Voix du Djibouti".
(Dave Kenny-UK, dxld Feb 25)
Newly discovered clandestine La Voix de Djibouti, 15165, confirmed Feb 25
at *1530-1629:30* UT. Had looked for it starting before 1500 UT as there
was conflicting info about correct schedule, but nothing there, until cut
on abruptly at *1530 UT, with music, anthem? Then brief announcement, also
brief Qur'an, more talk in non-French, mentioning kHz, and a .com.
Presumably all in Somali and still so when local noise, power-tooling
neighbor overrode at 1610-1619. By 1619 when that cleared up, station had
switched to French; sounds like a lot of platitudes. Dave Kenny, who had
no such noise interruption, says French started at 1612 UT.
Cut off the air at 1629:30* UT sharp before speaker was finished. So it's
coming from a transmitter site with precision timing, but no clues beyond
that. Signal at start was S9+10 with flutter and diminished somewhat
during the hour.
Tnx to Chris Greenway for uncovering this, which has allegedly been on the
air every Thursday since 7 January. More in French only at
<http://www.lavoixdedjibouti.com/>
About time Djibouti, the former French Somaliland, Afars & Issas, had its
own clandestine! Website indicates it is that, "free and independent
voice,", etc. Emissions Radio page axually linxs to mp3 files of
the seven/eight broadcasts so far, and there are also apparently
full French transcripts on the next page.I did not realize Djibouti
was so mountainous, even above the timber line, judging from the
only illustration on the website. Hints it may be based in Colorado?

stop. QRM from 5050 kHz started at 0957.5 UT. If I could have seen the QRM
pattern, the Perseus could have been set to eliminate the adjt channel
QRM. Will try that with a later recording from 1100 to 1400 UT tonight.
Vanuatu OFF air on Feb 23, but on air again Feb 24th.

125ms - round-the-world-echoes -, comment by Nils to Glenn Hauser.
Nils' paper doesn't deal with "real" RTW signals, but with "near" RTW
signals. This means: transmitter & receiver are not at exactly the same
place, but about 600 km apart. This also is the scenario, for which the
cited paper is valid.
The results are a follows:
- with transmitter and receiver some 700 km apart, the short path goes its
textbook way, whereas the long path goes a crooked way. This way is some
2500 km shorter than that of the textbook long path.
This is, what Nils found.
- with transmitter and receiver being apart a couple of 1000 km, the
textbook version of long and short path seem to work properly
Nils' paper gives examples for both cases.
The not-so-new result is, that under specific conditions a "near" RTW can
and will show a shorter delay as e.g. VoACAP suggests. This has been
proven in praxi, as well as the Russian paper from 1975. This paper costs
about 32 US-$ to get it from the publisher's electronic resource *...
* "Propagation of Round-the-World and Back-Echo signals outside the plane
of a great circle". By V.A. Bubnov and G.A. Rumyantsev, UDC
550.388.2:621.373.3
Transmated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Radiofizika,
Vol. 18, No. 9, p. 1383-1386, September 1975.
Vor gut einem Jahr hatte ich bei Echo-Zeitmessungen festgestellt, dass die
Echos deutlich kuerzer als erwartet waren. Dafuer fand ich - auch in der
Diskussion mit Experten - keine vernuenftige Erklaerung. Als ich in diesem
Jahr wieder die "verkuerzten" Echos hoerte, bin ich der Sache
systematischer nachgegangen und fand ein wissenschaftliches Papier aus der
UdSSR von 1975, das ueber den Mechanismus von Grosskreisabweichungen
unterrichtete. Diese treten besonders bei Uebergaengen der Hell- und
Dunkelzone bei Irregularitaeten der Ionosphaere auf. Dadurch kann sich ein
"Rund-um-die-Erde"-Signal in der Laufzeit eben auch verkuerzen. Als "Erste
Hilfe" habe ich dazu ein wirklich kleines PDF mit vier Hoerbeispielen
verfasst, das zugleich Anregung fuer die multimediale Darstellung solcher
Themen sein sollte. Alas, in English, ist eine umfangreichere Version in
Deutsch in Vorbereitung.

Wolfy, So what is the cause of this? You don't mention long-path/short
path.
Let us take 10 megameters as the rough distance between Europe and East
Asia, i.e. one quarter around the world. Therefore a long-path signal will
travel 30 megameters, three times as far, and 30 minus 10 20 megameters
difference. The speed of radio is 300 megameters per second, so 20/300
0.067 second, roughly half the delay reported.
In the same way, an LP signal of negligible short-path distance would
travel 40 Mm further, which would take .133 second. This is close, and the
SP/LP echoes I sometimes hear from WEWN or WWCR which are only 1 Mm away
from me, and thus travel 38 Mm further, would be 0.127 second delayed.
Single-hop satellite feed delays are quite a different matter, and of
course would not affect a single frequency.
