ALGERIA   13639.998+ kHz  Nov 18 at 2009 UT into UTwente, Arabic S=9+10/15
dB, listed as Bechar site of TDA on 13640 kHz, but insufficient direct. We
really miss 17600kHz which in A24 ran very long hours, but now in B24 only
in local mornings until when? HFCC has exaggerated registrations one hour
at a time even if no difference from one to another, including now 13640
kHz, and where nothing heard, 13790 and 17600 kHz.

COLOMBIA OR VENEZUELA   4940 kHz Unid - LA religious station, still active
despite some reports to the contrary. Fair/good signal 0905 past 0916 UT
with OM preaching in Spanish. Despite QSLs of dubious quality, the state
of our knowledge in the hobby about this one is not very good. Supposedly
in the YV/HJ border region, this in the past has been variously called
"Estacion 4940" or "La Montana."

One would think / hope Rafael Rodriguez in Colombia, with his ties to re-
gional religious semi-pirates 'LV de Tu Conciencia' and 'Alcaravan Radio',
could tell us, definitively, what is going on ... but if he has, I missed

Very much like last Monday, reception into Masset was poor when I first
tuned in at 15:49 UT, but gradually improved markedly to very good copy
as I type this at 16:15 UT. There seems to be an OTHR signal in the vici-

music selection noted during the latter 30 minutes.

LUXEMBOURG   COULD MAKE A RETURN TO SW WITH RADIO ONDA:

Shortwave returns to Junglinster. Elisabeth Margue, Minister Delegate to
the Prime Minister, in charge of Media and Connectivity, has launched a
public call for the granting of a concession for a non-Luxembourg radio
service.

The concession covers the following shortwave frequencies: 6140 kHz with
a power of 1 KW, as well as the frequencies 9530, 15190 and 25850 kHz with
a power of 100 watts.

Radio Onda, a Brazilian radio station based in Brussels, has responded and
is waiting for its license. The public call closed on October 18 at 6 pm.
We are awaiting the opinion of the Independent Audiovisual Authority on
the applications submitted. Then Minister Elisabeth Margue,in charge of
Radiocommunications and Radio Spectrum Management, will issue the license.

Radio Onda is a service published by ONDA ASBL, approved as a publisher by
the CSA, the Belgian regulatory authority. Under European Union regula-
tions, it can broadcast, subject to the agreement of local authorities,
from all states in the European Economic Area, as was the case for RTL
Belgium.

Radio Onda would have liked to obtain a shortwave license in Belgium. Due
to a legal vacuum, this has not yet been possible, even though it legally
broadcasts on DAB+ in Brussels. In recent years,Radio Onda has been broad-
casting on shortwave from the Netherlands, with a license granted by the
National Inspectorate for Digital Infrastructure (RDI). The use of short-
waves enables Radio Onda to extend its broadcasting area to Europe. Sub-
ject to the granting of the license, the transmitters should be installed
at Junglinster 49 43 08.7 N  06 15 51.9 E. Radio Onda, a non-profit asso-
ciation, is currently raising funds for the purchase of a 1kW transmitter.
All donations in money or material are welcome.

SPAIN   Amateur Radio. Cycle of talks: Past, present and future of
O.C. broadcasting. {translated Spanish to English, ed.}

Next Wednesday, December 4 at 19:30 CEST / 18:30 UTC, the talk
"Past, present and future of broadcasting in O.C." will be broadcasted on
URE's YouTube channel, given by Antonio Buitrago, and you can follow it as
usual at:

<https://www.youtube.com/ureradio>

The journalist Antonio Buitrago, has been director of Radio Exterior de
Espana, host of the program 'Ondas de Ayer' on Radio 5 and is a National
Radio Award. He has directed and presented the program 'Amigos de la onda
corta', and is a member of the Spanish Association of Radio Listeners
(AER).

He therefore has extensive experience in the world of radio broadcasting,
and in particular in shortwave broadcasting. Antonio re-launched shortwave
at 'Radio Exterior de Espana' as a means of transmission to the outside
world, and managed the expansion of its broadcasts to 8 hours a day.

Therefore, listening to Antonio is a great opportunity to know first hand
the ins and outs of these broadcasts, their history, the role played by
the entities behind them, their current objective, which countries are the
most interested in maintaining and promoting them, the reason for this,
etc.

This talk has seemed to us a good idea to close 2024, the year that marked
the centenary of radio broadcasting in Spain, which was given the green
light on June 14, 1924 in the B.O.E., a fact that officially constituted
the birth of radio broadcasting in Spain and that allowed the establish-
ment of the first radio stations in our country.

As usual, at the end of the talk, Antonio will be available for your
questions.

We look forward to seeing you on December 4th.

TURKEY   15430 and 15190 kHz  Intermodulation signals from Emirler-TUR.

Liebes Team von TRT, liebe Frau Dr. Ufuk Kecim, liebe Hoererfamilie,

im letzten Briefkasten im deutschen Programm von TRT wurde ein Brief von
Prof. Dr. Hansjoerg Biener verlesen, in dem ueber die Seitenaustrahlung
des deutschen Programms auf 15430 kHz von fundamental 15270 kHz in der
Zeit 12:30-13:30 UTC berichtet wurde.

Ich kann nur bestaetigen dass ich diese Beobachtungen in den letzten Tagen
auch mehrmals gemacht habe. Es koennte sich m.E. in diesem Fall um eine
Intermodulation handeln.

Eine Art von dieser Signal(e) Intermodulation tritt auf, wenn von zwei
benachbarten Sendern an der gleichen Lokation auch die Frequenzen ver-
haeltnismaessig nahe beieinander im gleichen Meterband liegen.

In unserem Fall ist der eine Sender auf f1 = fundamental 15270 kHz
(deutschsprachiges Programm TRT Emirler) der andere auf f2 = fundamental
15350 kHz (tuerkisches Programm von TRT Emirler). Ein Intermodulations-
produkt ergibt sich dann aus der Gleichung IM1 (2 x f2) - f1 = 15430 kHz.

Ausserdem entsteht noch ein zweites Intermodulationprodukt IM2 = 
(2 x f1) - f2 = 15190 kHz. In der Tat auf dieser letzten Frequenz konnte
ich mit abgeschwaechtem Signal auch das tuerkische Programm von 15350 kHz
hoeren.

Als dann die Frequenz 15270 kHz mit dem deutschen Programm abgeschaltet
wurde, waren beide Seitenausstrahlungen sowohl auf 15430 als auch auf
15190 kHz verschwunden.

Massnahmen gegen die Intermodulation sind z.B. Verringerung der Aus-
steuerung der Empfaenger- oder Senderstufen wodurch eine Verbesserung er-
reicht wird, allerdings auf Kosten der Eingangsempfindlichkeit bzw. der
Sendeleistung.

Desgleichen kann ein groesserer Abstand zwischen den beiden Frequenzen
f1 und f2 Abhilfe schaffen.
Mit freundlichen Gruessen

MSF signal off-air for maintenance: Thursday 5 December.
A couple of questions about my post, if I may:

1.  Did this time signal used to be called 'Rugby Clock' or something 
    similar?
2.  What does 'MSF' stand for?
(Andrew Ross-UK, BrDXC-UK iogr news Nov 28)

Re:  MSF signal off-air for maintenance: Thursday 5 Dec.
The MSF 60 kHz transmitter used to be at Rugby. It moved to Anthorn,
Cumbria in April 2007. There's lots about it on Wikipedia

<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_from_NPL_(MSF)>

(Dave Kenny-UK, BrDXC-UK iogr news Nov 28)

The transmitter was operated by the Post Office at Rugby for many years
before moving to Cumbria. The M in the callsign is one of the prefixes
allocated to the UK. The others are G and 2. All three are used by licens-
ed amateur stations. I would guess that the SF stands for Standard
Frequency.

{later} I think I may have got two transmitters confused. The Rugby trans-
mitter was GBR and operated on 16 kHz. There was a reserve tx at Anthorne
in Cumbria on around 19 kHz. There were MSF transmissions on short-wave
which my old WRTH handbook said were based at the Standards Laboratory at
Teddington in Middlesex. I regularly received the 2.5MHz transmission on
my EddystoneEC10 receiver back in the 1960s. There were also transmissions
on higher HF frequencies, but I usually received WWV from the US on these.
One of these gave the time in speech every 5 minutes.

When I worked for the Post Office Telephones in the late 1960s, a 60 kHz
pilot tone was distributed around the telephone network where carrier and
coaxial cable systems were in use. It was used to synchronise the carrier
frequencies used to assemble 4 kHz telephone channels into groups of 12 in
the range 64-108 kHz. On coaxial systems many of these groups could be
translated to higher frequencies  and also combined with others to form
supergroups. I'm not sure about the history of the 60kHz radio transmis-
sion, but its source was probably the same as the Post Office pilot tone.
(Ian Brooks, Verwood-UK, BrDXC-UK iogr news Nov 28)

This got me thinking about devices in my home which update using radio
time signals.

I have 3 watches, the two Japanese ones use the German DCF77 ... 77.5 kHz
signal. A Casio watch provides a choice and corrects using MSF 60 kHz but
seems to receive better on DCF 77 ... 77.5 kHz.

I have a German clock by Junghans which surprisingly relies on MSF. A Lidl
kitchen clock uses DCF77 but never gets the summertime or wintertime
change right.

Here in Berkshire I think the German time signal is stronger.
I have two internet ratios which derive the time from DAB data or the in-
ternet. A smart watch health monitor gets its time from internet time ser-
vers via Bluetooth.

For my radio amateur operation I take the time from the GPS satellites
with a dongle receiver updating the laptop.

Re:  MSF signal off-air for maintenance: Thursday 5 Dec.

There is a timer server available for free download from Meinberger's

<https://www.meinbergglobal.com/english/sw/ntp.htm>

which keeps very precise time on your computer (win11 in my case). For
amateur radio using the FT8 protocol stable computer time keeping by
sender and receiver is needed.

There was discussion on this list last month about the disappearance of
the VOA web page with hourly newscasts. Instead, we now have "Worldwide in

which are nothing more than the VOA's top-of-the-hour newscasts. But they
are only posted at four-hour intervals. And why is that ?

It's because VOA is only creating a fresh newscast every four hours.

VIETNAM   12020 kHz  Voice of Vietnam via Hanoi-Sontay, Nov 30; excellent
signal (but best in USB due to low-side RTTY QRM) 1310 UT with Indonesian
service, OM talking in the Bahasa. YL at 1309 UT asking for reports
(laporan - laporan). If they don't change the beam at 1330 UT, should be
fine listening for the sked En service.

// 9840 kHz also good but not quite equaling the 25 mb signal. Indo pgm
ends 1328 UT, then dead air continuing until En begins at 1330 UT with YL.
Unfortunately they must have fiddled with something as signal dropped a
bit compared to during Indo service, but still okay.

Comment: for the first time in this decade, the SOH Taiwan signals vary
from day to day - even 10 to 60 Hertz away - very unusual behavior to
note, in order to avoid jamming by P.R. mainland China security services
on the radio bands.

Taiwan is suffered from electricity shortage. See

German Mail has been delivered well.

<https://www.klingenfuss.org/homepage.htm>

Lieber Joerg,
Many thanks to you again this year -

after 57 years of service for the continuous production in the usual accu-
rate manner and for sending your products '2025 SFL Super Frequency List'
and '2025 SFG Shortwave Frequency Guide', which copies arrived safely here
in Stuttgart Germany yesterday.

Packed with information related to the radio spectrum and also from year
to year new special hobby aspects and details are added in today's world
of data, as I realised again last night during my first check of the 2025
book issue.

And the WWDXC veterans have once again been honoured on page # 210 of the
2025 SFG book.

Many thanks for everything and nice weekendle after all your production
and dispatch stress
