On 28 November 2004, a Chinese Minister will inaugurate the new HF transmitter radio station in Cerrik, zone A. There are four 150 kW transmitters plus two in Stand-by mode. Check SW bands from next Sunday. Cerrik location is not far from Elbasan, some 50kms south of Tirana. Recently some powerful test transmissions with Chinese content noted widely on 11785 and 11855 kHz in our European morning, observed by Olle Alm and Noel R. Green (Wolfgang Büschel, BC-DX Nov 23 via WORLD OF RADIO 1254, DXLD) ** ANTARCTICA. The Mario Zucchelli Station (formerly known as Baia Terra Nova) at Terra Nova Bay, Victoria Land (AN-16), is improving the personnel. Among the 80 people present at the Base, there is Dr. Mario Pillon, a researcher from the Italian ENEA Dept. who holds a personal Ham callsign, I0QHM. He has been showing up on 14180 kHz at 1845z signing I0QHM/IA0PS. However, as this was being typed, Mario is now signing I0QHM/KC4. Mario is expected to remain in Antarctica until around mid-February. He could also operate from Dome C and probably from other remote camps in the future if time and equipment permit. The Mario Zucchelli Station (MZS) is referenced for WAP as: WAP ITA-01 (KB8NW\OPDX November 22\BARF-80 via John Norfolk, dxldyg via DXLD) ** ANTARCTICA. Chris, KC4/N3SIG, reports that he ``finally hooked up the ICOM 706 to the Amp in the ham shack, the antennas are all fixed and it`s time to DX!`` Look for him on 14243 kHz at or around 1930- 2000 Local Eastern Time [0030-0100 UT]. ALL QSLs go to his home address and will be answered when he gets home (KB8NW\OPDX November 22\BARF-80 via John Norfolk, dxldyg) ** ANTIGUA. Looked for the BBC harmonic on 30380 Nov 22, and at 1515 could detect a weak but steady carrier; intermittent QRM from NBFM on 30370, a dispatcher, believe Enid mentioned, so local (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1254, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** AUSTRALIA: R.

The Aussie way of speaking cannot be missed if one misses the station ID. I first wondered how Mali has gone into country music... 73's, (Matti Ponkamo, Naantali, Finland, OH1GPU - Drake R4-C, SONY 2010D, Kenwood TH-F7, 20m Dipole, dxing.info via DXLD) ** AUSTRALIA.

Santa Ana. Discussion between M and young girl. 2250 beautiful canned ID by W with slight echo over music "...sintonía -- Santa Ana la radio". Then brief discussion by M and girl again sounding like they were in a basement (echo). At least 7 more canned ads followed to 2259!! One featured a M sounding as though he was on the opposite side of the room from the mic!! Some included jingles. Check at 2322 found an ad mentioning Santa Ana, then back to live announcer. Fairly strong but modulation a little low and het QRM from 4649.10 (Dave Valko, Dunlo, PA, HCDX online log via DXLD) ** BOLIVIA. Re 4-171, what frequency will R. Virgen de Remedios use? This was in the July 21 WORLD OF RADIO summary: R. Virgen de Remedios, new Bolivian testing on 5500, 5945.2, says its authorized frequency will be 3330, at 0000-0200 only, once antenna is ready; run by Bolivian and Polish padres (Glenn Hauser, WORLD OF RADIO 1254, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** BRAZIL. Desde 17 de novembro, as emissoras gaúchas de rádio estão autorizadas a flexibilizar o horário da Voz do Brasil. Significa que podem emitir outro programa às 19h, no horário brasileiro de verão [2100 UT], desde que a Voz do Brasil seja emitida antes da meia-noite [0200 UT] do mesmo dia. A decisão é em caráter liminar da 3ª turma da justiça federal e não deve ser mudada até o início do ano que vem. BRASIL – A Radiobrás pretende realizar transmissões digitais em ondas curtas. Tem parceria, no empreendimento, com a Universidade de Brasília, Sociedade de Engenharia de Televisão e Associação Brasileira das Emissoras de Rádio e Televisão. É o que noticia o sítio Telecom Online e o blog de Eduardo Sander, em http://www.comuniquese.com.br/blog Segundo as fontes, a digitalização do sinal ``pode revitalizar essa faixa de freqüência, que é a única captada em algumas regiões do interior e no Norte do Brasil`` (Célio Romais, Panorama, @tividade DX Nov 21 via WORLD OF RADIO 1254, DXLD) ** CANADA. Vancouver Island CBC broadcaster David Grierson, 49, died Saturday from a heart attack. Grierson had been with the CBC for 20 years, most recently as host of the radio morning show, On the Island. He also wrote a best-selling book, The Expo Celebration, that featured the work of Canadian photographers. ``He combined a vigorous intelligence with wit, with curiosity, with charm, and with an ability to engage not one bit intimidating,`` said Jane Heffelfinger, director of CBC`s Victoria station (The Province, via Bruce MacGibbon, Nov 22, DXLD) ** CANADA. CHSL-1610 on for real! CHSL-1610 started regular programming, with slogan "Voces Latinas, la primera radio hispana en Toronto". They don't sound like a gospel station thus far, mostly playing the variety of music that they were using during their tests earlier this month. I would presume yesterday was CHSL's first official on-air day, but I wasn't listening as I was watching the Argos win la Copa Grey. 73 (Mike Brooker, Toronto, ON, Nov 22, NRC-AM via WORLD OF RADIO 1254, DXLD) The new 1610 Toronto station is coming in well here tonight... mostly continuous latino music, but I caught a CHSL ID in Spanish at about 2150 [EST]. They're a bit low in frequency, on about 1609.92 (Barry McLarnon, VE3JF, Ottawa, ON, Nov 20, NRC-AM via WORLD OF RADIO 1254, DXLD) Now that they are supposed to be on regular schedule, I thought I'd see what CHSL does at the top of the hour. At 2056 EST I tuned in and they were playing Elton John's "Sacrifice". There was a bit of dead air at 2100 and then went straight into Elton John's "Daniel". I don't recall Elton being from Bolivia or Nicaragua, although he did have a song called "A Word In Spanish". Either CHSL ran out of Latin American records to play, or perhaps the announcer was more interested in seeing what this week's opening on Monday Night Football would be like and left an Elton CD playing? ;-) Okay, now that the Patriots have scored on the Chiefs the CHSL op appears to have reverted back to what I would expect them to play. Playing a Brazilian Samba tune at 2120 (Niel Wolfish, Toronto, Nov 22, WORLD OF RADIO 1254, ibid.) ** CHINA. New schedule for China Radio International in Turkish from Nov. 28: 1400-1427 on 9535, 11800 cancelled 1600-1657 on 6165, 7325 extended, ex 1600-1627 on same frequencies 1900-1957 on 7215, 9655 extended, ex 1900-1927 on same frequencies (Observer, Bulgaria, Nov 23 via DXLD) See also ALBANIA Registration sites: 6165 Urumchi, 7325 Xian 7215 Beijing, 9655 Kunming (Wolfgang Büschel, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CHINA. 7155, Xinjiang PBS-Urumqi, f/d Chinese text paper QSL card with red station stamp, personal Chinese form letter (with SW, FM and MW schedules on reverse) and 3 cancelled stamps in 37 days for 1 IRC and an English report. Very pleased (Scott R. Barbour, Jr., Intervale, NH, Nov 22, dxldyg via DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CHINA. 7280. Presumed Voice of the Strait, heard lately tnx to Ross Comeau alert to something on this frequency; as early as 1000, best around 1115-1130, then starts declining and goes off at 1200* after pips (5+1 pips also heard at 1000 and 1100). Reception varies a lot from day to day. Light Chinese programming style, much music, some talk, seemingly ads also. VoS website is: http://www.radiohx.com/enroot/ (extremely slow to load) and it shows 7280 as the "Life and Entertainment Channel." It also says 11590 is the "News Channel," and 6115 is the "Minnan Dialect channel." I can't get the on-line audio to work to check //. There is a signal on 11590 as well, but it is weaker than 7280 and pretty useless. Nagoya DXers Circle: http://www2.starcat.ne.jp/~ndxc/ shows 11590 as having English Sat & Sun at 1430-1500, which would be interesting to hear (Jerry Berg, MA, NASWA Flashsheet via DXLD) ** CROATIA. Updated B-04 schedule for Croatian Radio HS-1 in Croatian: 0500-2400 on 6165 DEA 100 kW / non-dir 0500-0800 on 7365 DEA 010 kW / non-dir (ex 0500-1000) 0500-1800 on 9830 DEA 100 kW / non-dir 0800-2200 on 13830 DEA 010 kW / 305 deg (ex 1000-2200) (Observer, Bulgaria, Nov 23 via DXLD) ** CROATIA [and non].

Croatian transmitter on 1134 kHz is off already since last week. I expected a short failure or maintenance only so I did not report it. Now when I did it, the transmitter surely goes on the air very soon, HI (Sod's Law). If not maybe there is a possibility to hear something interesting from Asia? GOOD DX, (Karel Honzik, the Czech Republic (Czechia), AOR AR-7030, 80 m LW, HCDX via WORLD OF RADIO 1254, DXLD) Karel, Maybe antenna damage occurred at Zadar site last week? Heavy like tropical storms and much rainfall reports from that area have been seen on TV widely. 73 (Wolfgang Büschel, ibid.) ** CUBA [non]. R. Martí, 530, missing Sat Nov. 20: see USA: TocobagaDX ** ECUADOR. HCJB`s website is really screwed up. The DX Partyline audio page for months has had error notices about php, html, but at least the files play. There no longer seems to be a page with press releases, where I used to find some occasionally newsworthy info. The link to Spanish goes to more pages in English! So I went directly to http://www.hcjb.org.ec which forwards to http://www.vozandes.org looking for a simple program schedule of SW broadcasts in Spanish. No luck, tho there is an extremely detailed one for the ALAS satellite service. I did run across a two-week (10 program) archive of Música del Ecuador, one-hour version in Spanish with Jorge Zambrano on the national service: http://www.vozandes.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=Sections&file=index&req=viewarticle&artid=72&page=1&id_link=2 (via WORLD OF RADIO 1254) News gleaned from Nov 20 DX Partyline: plans for development of new Quito airport are in final stages of preparation. Construxion has begun of a new access road to the airport. HCJB has been advised that studies of RF interference and antenna height interference will proceed shortly, to evaluate feasibility of operating the [Pifo] transmitter site while respecting airspace safety standards required for the airport. Several towers need to be dismantled or modified because of excessive infractions into airspace safety zone. Tower most affected and most complicated to dismantle is the one suspending the reflective grid curtains behind the steerable antenna, used for long range transmission to Europe, Far East and others. It has carried Russian, Japanese, French, Czech, Slovak, Arabic, English, German and Spanish programming. With refocused ministry definitions for Latin America, this antenna is no longer strategic to goals. And is the most complicated to dismantle carefully, in case future opportunities arise to use it [elsewhere], it is wise to begin dismantling it now in a careful manner (Press release from offices of HCJB World Radio Latin American region, notes by gh for DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** EGYPT. Regarding previous report that R. Cairo would eliminate from 1 January, 29 of its 40-some language sections, and retain 11, I count in WRTH 2004 only 33 languages total, so I wonder if the four languages mentioned are actually the only ones to remain --- Arabic, English, French, Spanish (Glenn Hauser, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** GERMANY. New time for AWR in Bulgarian via JUL 100 kW / 100 deg: 0600-0700 on 6095, ex 0500-0600 on same via JUL 100 kW / 115 deg (Observer, Bulgaria, Nov 23 via DXLD) ** GERMANY. 6045, Hamburger Lokalradio (via Jülich), opening right at 1000 Nov 20 (Sat) with what sounded like a fog horn, then quick ID, into man with some spirited singing, a little more talk, a song by some kids, more talk. Not very strong at this hour, of course, and bothered by persistent woodpecker-like QRM. Not much left by 1015. Saturdays only. I heard them with a similar signal quality in Dec 2000 when they were on then. URL is http://www.hhlr.de/ (Jerry Berg, MA, NASWA Flashsheet via DXLD) ** GUAM. KTWR on 13630 Mandarin 2245-2330, but severe QRM from RA on same to same target in English (Bob Padula, Victoria, EDXP Report on HCJB DX Partyline Nov 20 via DXLD) So TWR does not talk to RA? (gh) ** ICELAND. Operators Yasunori/JI1NJC and Yuu/JR2KDN will be active from Iceland (TF) from November 25th to December 1st. They will use a Rhombic antenna and KW, and are interested in the low band. Here is a good chance to get TF on 160 and 80 meters (especially for Asia). Suggested frequencies are 1828.5 kHz (listening down 5) and 3503 kHz (listening up 5) (KB8NW\OPDX November 22\BARF-80 via John Norfolk, dxldyg via DXLD) ** ICELAND. 12115, Icelandic National Broadcasting, 2310-2330 Nov 21. Noted a man and woman in Icelandic comments. Signal is on USB vice AM [instead of? Supposed to be USB with reduced carrier]. Also signal was very good (Chuck Bolland, Clewiston, Florida, 545, dipole, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** INDIA. AIR on 9425, Bangalore, 2115-2300. Young lady in Hindi with music program. Sounded like mix of Indian pops and traditional. Time pips to 2230, with deep-voiced man, "This is All India Radio." He read the news in English, with a few mentions on Pakistan, then lady back at 2235 with news in Hindi, more mentions of Pakistan, followed at 2240 by what sounded like a commercial/advert in Hindi, then the lady with music program continued. Signal good, but music much better then muffled speech. Could even hear them via 16" whip on KA105 pocket set. Been trying to pull in AIR for some time. Have since heard again with good signal, tho' fades away as afternoon here wears on. Odd thing is, when they come in, rest of 31 meters is pretty well dead. Such strange conditions. Have heard occasional very weak signal on 11620 (Eric Bryan, WA, Nov 22, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** INDONESIA. RRI's external service Suara Indonesia appears to be operating on the single frequency of 15150 kHz for all its transmissions at present (drowned out here by China for much of the time), and 9525 and 11785 are no longer audible. The language/time schedule seems to be the same as in WRTH-2004. The service is no longer on FM in Jakarta. Domestic services from Jakarta following the introduction of a new FM plan in Indonesia are: Pro-1 on 92.1 MHz Pro-2 on 105.0 MHz Pro-3 on 1332, 11860, 15125 kHz and 92.8 MHz Pro-4 on 999, 9680 kHz and 88.8 MHz The SW frequencies operate throughout the local day. They disappear into the mush at night here, so I can't confirm their operating hours unfortunately. Regards from Lombok (Alan Davies, Indonesia, BC-DX Nov 17 via DXLD) ** IRAN. VOIRI heard on some new frequencies, including Spanish 15125 and 15320 at 0620; 11695 in English at 2015 (Bob Padula, Victoria, EDXP Report on HCJB DX Partyline Nov 20 via DXLD) Broadcasts start on previous half hour. Last sked we had for Spanish 0530 showed 17590 instead of 15125 (gh, DXLD) ** IVORY COAST. Re: Ivory Coast TV, Radio Urge Mob Violence Is the 1830 GMT English news broadcast is a thing of the past?? I used to hear it at 1830 GMT in the early 70s, when conditions to W. Africa were very good, in San Antonio... (Artie Bigley, OH, Nov 19, DX LISTENING DIGEST) Artie, I see in WRTH 2004 that they still have English at 1833-1930 on 2nd network --- but they have been off SW for many, many years (Glenn to Artie, via DXLD) I believe it was on the 11.9 MHz range Hi Glenn, They had a five or ten minute news bulletin that could be heard back then in English. It really sad that a lot of the Africans countries have left SW and or don't have the strong voice they did in the late 60s and 70s (Artie Bigley, Nov 22, ibid.) ** JAPAN [and non]. There have been some recent emails looking for an up-to-date Radio Japan schedule. The schedule I have it still the A-04 (summer) schedule which is still the one on the Radio Japan website. If anyone has a B-04 schedule for Radio Japan they are apparently hoarding it. It's apparently a state secret as well!! Do they care about having listeners anymore?

Lunes 22 de noviembre de 2004 En su 21 aniversario, inaugura el EZLN una página en Internet: Radio Insurgente --- Difunde ideas y contenidos de su lucha a través de frecuencia modulada y en onda corta HERMANN BELLINGHAUSEN ENVIADO San Cristóbal de las Casas, Chis. 21 de noviembre. Al celebrarse el vigesimoprimer aniversario del Ejército Zapatista de Liberación Nacional (EZLN), dicha organización inauguró un sitio en Internet en el que se pueden ver y escuchar los materiales y programas de Radio Insurgente, con lo cual sus contenidos se vuelven accesibles en todo el mundo. Con mensajes en castellano, inglés, francés, alemán e italiano, la también llamada "la voz de los sin voz" y "la escurridiza del cuadrante" se presenta con el habitual "quiénes somos" de las páginas internáuticas: "Radio Insurgente es la voz oficial del EZLN. Una estación totalmente desligada del mal gobierno mexicano. Difunde las ideas y los contenidos de la lucha zapatista a través de frecuencia modulada (FM) y en onda corta, en esta página web y en sus producciones de CD." También da cuenta de "los avances del proceso de construcción de la autonomía indígena" en las zonas zapatistas. "En FM, Radio Insurgente transmite, desde varias emisoras en las montañas del sureste mexicano, una programación destinada a las bases de apoyo zapatistas; a los y las insurgentes, milicianos y comandantes; a la sociedad civil regional, así como a los soldados y paramilitares. Los programas son transmitidos, además del español, en las lenguas tzotzil, tzeltal, chol y tojolabal. La programación alterna noticias locales, nacionales e internacionales con música, mensajes educativos y políticos, cuentos y radionovelas. La programación incluye música tradicional de los pueblos indígenas, corridos zapatistas, canciones revolucionarias y todo tipo de música internacional." La estación radial "es un medio para que las comunidades difundan su música, su palabra y su pensamiento. Es la única estación de radio independiente que transmite en lenguas indígenas en el estado de Chiapas, y por esta razón es entendida por hombres, mujeres y niños. En Chiapas, por las políticas educacionales catastróficas del mal gobierno, aproximadamente un tercio de los hombres y la mitad de las mujeres no saben leer ni escribir. Especialmente la mayoría de las mujeres no hablan ni entienden el español". La señal de Radio Insurgente se escucha en regiones aisladas, "donde no hay energía eléctrica, adonde no llega ningún periódico y la diversión principalmente consiste en jugar basquetbol o futbol". Para estas comunidades, la difusora "abre una ventana al mundo y trae información acerca de las luchas de otros pueblos en otros países. Los cientos de cartas que todos los días llegan a las cabinas de Radio Insurgente con saludos y mensajes políticos de los oyentes demuestran la importancia de esta radio para los pueblos indígenas de Chiapas". En FM, las diversas estaciones de esta emisora independiente transmiten para los Altos, la selva fronteriza, la selva tzeltal, la zona norte y la región Tzotz Choj, correspondientes a las cinco juntas de buen gobierno (JBG). Tiene además un programa semanal de onda corta "destinado a los pueblos de México y de las Américas, pero también a la sociedad civil de Europa, Africa, Asia y Oceanía. Informa sobre los sucesos actuales en Chiapas, y sobre los avances en la construcción de la autonomía zapatista que se realiza a través de las JBG y de los municipios autónomos rebeldes zapatistas. Informa también sobre la historia del EZLN, los derechos de las mujeres indígenas y muchos temas más. Además, entretiene con música variada y cuentos provenientes de Chiapas". En onda corta, Radio Insurgente transmite una hora cada viernes en la frecuencia 6.0 MHz en la banda de 49 metros, a partir de las 15 horas (hora oficial de la Ciudad de México, GMT -6). En tanto, mediante la página web se pueden escuchar y descargar los programas semanales de onda corta, así como los programas especiales y algunas muestras de las transmisiones en FM. El EZLN invita "cordialmente" a todas las estaciones de radio libres y comunitarias a retransmitir los programas de Radio Insurgente. "La retransmisión es libre y gratuita, siempre y cuando no se cambie el contenido del programa." En el sitio de producciones de la emisora, el internauta puede escuchar fragmentos de las grabaciones hechas en los estudios de la radio rebelde, que incluyen cuentos del subcomandante insurgente Marcos y "músicas" de las zonas zapatistas. El escucha-internauta también puede escribir al equipo de Radio Insurgente "para dar a conocer sus propuestas y comentarios". En el enlace "Discursos" del sitio web se encuentran audios de los discursos de comandantes, comandantas y demás autoridades zapatistas, pronunciados en diversos actos. El enlace "Comunicados" conduce a las comunicaciones escritas del EZLN. En "Cómo apoyar" se describen diversas posibilidades para apoyar a la radiodifusora rebelde. El EZLN informa que durante los pasados tres años se ha desarrollado un estudio de grabación digital en zona rebelde, como parte de Producciones Radio Insurgente. Los grupos musicales de las comunidades en resistencia graban en el estudio "sin tener que pagar". Con estas producciones, los grupos musicales indígenas en general, y zapatistas en particular, "tienen la oportunidad de grabar su música, dando así una difusión más amplia a la música tradicional de las comunidades y a los corridos zapatistas".

Last week, afternoon host The Mighty 1090's Ted Leitner commented that the station will not be programming sports very soon. The date tossed around in the backrooms and smoke filled halls is January 3, 2005. If the station leaves the Clear Channel programming fold, it could -- repeat -- could become the alternative home for The Mighty 1090. No one is officially talkin' but there is a lot of behind the scenes shuffle going on. Currently, Clear Channel has the U.S. programming and marketing rights until 2007.

I was pleasantly surprised with their coverage on Monday of the runoff election, which seemed relatively comprehensive, and not slanted much toward either candidate (Ted Schuerzinger, Swprograms mailing list, Nov 23, via WORLD OF RADIO 1254, DXLD) UKRAINIAN MEDIA BEHAVIOUR 21-23 NOVEMBER All Ukrainian broadcast media put on additional coverage for the night of the presidential runoff between Prime Minister Viktor Yanukovych and opposition leader Viktor Yushchenko. As the opposition mounted protests against what they described as vote rigging in the prime minister's favour, the pro-opposition media broadcast live relays from the protester's rally while an exodus of protesting reporters disrupted news coverage on progovernment channels. Press coverage remained true to the normal government/opposition divisions. Poll night Most TV stations broadcast live "telethons" on election night on 21 November as soon as polls closed at 1800 gmt, having put on special news bulletins during the day. The telethons led with the results of the exit polls giving Yushchenko a clear lead. Several pro-government channels misquoted the exit polls, switching the figures around to give Yanukovych the lead. State-owned UT1 broadcast news bulletins every two hours with a studio debate after polls closed, breaking for the main news at 1900 gmt. The bulletin led on upbeat reports from the prime minister's headquarters saying their own vote count put Yanukovych ahead by 3 per cent. Two exit polls were quoted, one (Western-funded) giving the lead to Yushchenko, the other (government-funded) to Yanukovych. At 2100 gmt the station went off the air making way for private Era TV which shares the same frequency. Era TV, owned by businessman Andriy Derkach, maintained impartiality throughout the campaign but showed increasing signs of favouring the opposition towards the end, such as broadcasting Yushchenko campaign ads and a sympathetic film about Yushchenko's family. Era's election night coverage openly favoured the opposition, with news leading on exit polls giving the lead to Yushchenko and the discussion featuring Yushchenko's allies, Socialist leader Oleksandr Moroz and leader of the Industrialists and Entrepreneurs Party Anatoliy Kinakh. At the end of their airtime Era interviewed Tyhypko in the studio confronting him with evidence of vote rigging. Radio Era, part of the same broadcasting company, also broadcast live debates and regular news updates throughout the night. Opposition 5 Kanal broadcast news bulletins on the hour from 0600 to 1700 gmt starting a live telethon at 1750 gmt. Reports focused on allegations of widespread irregularities, with some video reports showing stacks of premarked ballot papers cast into the box and a vanishing ink pen seized at one polling station. Presenters wore orange ties to echo Yushchenko's campaign colour. Ads were broadcast in between bulletins urging viewers to record any incidents of fraud on camera and promising to air them later, some of which were. The telethon led on exit polls giving Yushchenko the lead and continued until early morning with live updates from the Central Electoral Commission and studio discussions between opposition and government spokespeople. One discussion featured Yushchenko's closest ally Yuliya Tymoshenko and Yanukovych's campaign chief Serhiy Tyhypko. At 0015 gmt the channel went live to the CEC to interview Yushchenko who declared he no longer believed the commission's returns. Shortly after it broadcast a live relay of Yushchenko's statement at his HQ calling for people to take to the streets and protest against "election fraud". The ICTV channel owned by President Leonid Kuchma's son in law Viktor Pinchuk broadcast two reports during the day and a live studio debate from 1550 gmt until about 2300 gmt in which Yanukovych and Yushchenko allies confronted each other in the studio. ICTV reported the Yushchenko lead in exit polls but added the caveat that exit polls are not an accurate reflection of the vote. The two other channels owned by Pinchuk, Novyy Kanal and STB, have maintained neutrality. Two channels controlled by the presidential administration, One Plus One TV and Inter TV, put on modest coverage. One Plus One broadcast no news bulletins through the day, but had a live studio discussion from 1730 gmt into the early hours. The discussion was presented by the station's news chief Vyacheslav Pikhovshek and featured live video linkups to the Central Electoral Commission's results board. The absence of correspondents at the commission confirmed reports earlier in the day of a mass exodus of staff from the station protesting at "censorship". Inter TV carried hourly news bulletins from 0600 gmt and a several hours' studio discussion from 2200. Both One Plus One and ICTV, which are controlled by President Kuchma's chief of staff Viktor Medvedchuk, misquoted exit polls switching the figures around to show Yanukovych in the lead. Later Inter corrected its report but led on another exit poll favouring the premier. The discussions on One Plus One and Inter featured a few Yushchenko supporters but mostly the Yanukovych team and their allegations of irregularities in Kiev and western Ukraine. Morning after Opposition 5 Kanal broadcast hourly bulletins with live updates from the Central Electoral Commission which was now giving a clear lead to Yanukovych, contrasting them with an exit poll giving a lead to Yushchenko. It featured statements by senior Yushchenko figures condemning the emerging CEC figures and appealing to the security forces not to fire on civilians. It also carried statements by several police officers and the military appealing to the armed forces and police not to obey "criminal orders". Other reports centred on allegations of widespread fraud, backed up by amateur video of irregularities. CEC chairman Kivalov was quoted as saying the slow count was due to a large turnout. It also quoted Yanukovych's campaign manager Tyhypko claiming victory. The tone was sceptical of government and interviews were preponderantly from opposition sympathizers. At 0700 gmt 5 Kanal began a live relay from Kiev's Independence Square where thousands were gathered answering Yushchenko's call. The central part of Yushchenko's 20-minute speech to protesters was obscured by what sounded like a jamming device, which also broke up the satellite and terrestrial picture. The presenter ended a news bulletin by saying he was off to join the rally. The live relay continued with short interruptions for news bulletins which also carried reports on Yanukovych supporters, some allegedly drunk, coming by bus to Kiev from eastern regions. The channel produced the first report that Lviv city council had recognized Yushchenko as president. Studio guests represented the opposition, and used their airtime to announce a national strike. At 1600 gmt it had actuality of pro-government MPs Shufrych, Konovalyuk and Havrysh insisting that the vote in eastern Ukraine was fair and opposing what the called attempts at a "Georgian coup". Private Radio Era carried reports from the opposition rally, with excerpts from Yushchenko's speech condemning the CEC vote and alleging a coup. Like 5 Kanal, it carried calls from the opposition for drivers to signal their support by honking the horns at the CEC building. It balanced opposition statements with a report of pro-government MP Konovalyuk saying the Yanukovych camp's parallel count accorded with the CEC reports. It reported the apparent jamming of the 5 Kanal relay, following it with reports of violations from the regions. Other TV channels UT1, Inter, One Plus and ICTV resumed normal coverage from 0600 broadcasting films and entertainment in between news bulletins. Inter would occasionally interrupt coverage with special updates from the Central Electoral Commission. The first bulletin on state UT1 TV at 0900 gmt reported that the CEC was giving Yanukovych a clear lead with 93 per cent of votes counted, following it with Kivalov's news conference denial of vote-rigging and a statement by Tyhypko giving Yanukovych a 3-point lead in their parallel count. The bland report carried no opposition reports or comments. Novyy Kanal and STB reporting was balanced with CEC figures contrasted with exit polls. News bulletins broadcast parts of the Yushchenko and other opposition speeches and reported thousands of police being brought to Kiev. It balanced statements by Tyhypko and CIS observers praising the official results with critical reports from the Voters Committee of Ukraine independent watchdog. Novyy broadcast a review of Russian and US press on the election, leading with a report from Russia's Izvestiya that the results could be decided on the streets and not by CEC. The reporting continued the channels' trend of more objective reporting since the first round of the election on 31 October. Progovernment channels report Yanukovych victory, journalists quit State-run UT1 TV's news coverage on the evening of 22 November favoured Prime Minister Viktor Yanukovych, emphasizing the legitimacy of his victory in the previous day's presidential runoff and downplaying opposition concerns about massive vote-rigging. UT1's "Visti" evening news programme showed Yanukovych's five-minute address to the nation in which he thanked his supporters, sought to reassure opposition voters that he would take their views into account, and criticized opposition leaders for taking their followers out onto streets. The channel also reported rallies in support of Yanukovych in eastern and southern Ukraine at which Yushchenko was urged to accept defeat. Only after that did it cover the large rally in support of opposition candidate Viktor Yushchenko in Kiev on 22 November. It pointed out that state factories were ignoring the opposition's calls to go on strike. It also reported that mothers were alarmed that their children might be involved in violent actions, and showed a woman urging young people not to take part in protests. While western observers were quoted criticizing the election as falling short of international standards, CIS observers said it was valid despite minor irregularities. An article in the German newspaper Die Welt was quoted saying that the West will work with Yanukovych, just as it does with Vladimir Putin. Coverage on privately-owned One Plus One and Inter, which are also influenced by the presidential administration, closely resembled that of UT1. Inter's coverage also included a report from Donetsk Region in which local officials rubbished opposition claims of irregularities. It also showed a member of Yanukovych's team describing large-scale irregularities in Western Ukraine. It quoted German political scientist Alexander Rar praising Yanukovych. One Plus One TV's TSN evening news bulletin was replaced by a special Election Marathon programme presented by the channel's news editor Vyacheslav Pikhovshek. It was announced later in the evening that the news team had refused to go on air for the previous two days in protest against the channel's pro-government bias. The "Fakty" evening news programme on ICTV, which is owned by President Leonid Kuchma's son-in-law, was considerably more balanced in its coverage than the three administration-influenced channels. It devoted a lengthy report to the opposition rally on Independence Square, showing Yushchenko and Russian liberal politician Boris Nemtsov speaking. The correspondent emphasized that there was no mood of aggression felt among the crowd of 100,000-500,000 people. ICTV also devoted more attention to western observers criticism of the conduct of the election, even quoting Askold Lozinsky of the World Council of Ukrainians saying that Yushchenko had won. Throughout the evening, opposition-leaning 5 Kanal was working in a rolling-news format, with reports from opposition rallies in Kiev and across the country interspersed with interviews with studio guests from both the opposition and Yanukovych camps. It also showed video of alleged violations on polling day. Era TV, which is owned by MP Andriy Derkach and is broadcast on UT1's frequency in the late evening and early morning, also strongly favoured the opposition. During its late evening news programme, it showed Yushchenko's 20-minute address to supporters on Independence Square earlier that evening. During the speech, Derkach - who was formerly loyal to President Leonid Kuchma - was seen standing behind Yushchenko. Studio guests included Our Ukraine MPs Oleh Rybachuk, Valeriy Asadchev and Socialist MP Ihor Lutsenko. Source: BBC Monitoring research in English 23 Nov 04 (via DXLD) ** U S A.

Regarding recent correspondence about the new VOA English 24hour schedule, I found the attached program guide which was linked on the Press Conference USA home page - although the link has since disappeared.

They show VOA English is now targeted to specific regions of the world for 22 hours per day (although of course many of these hours are made up of music shows rather than dedicated regional news or feature programming) with a 2 hour block between 1500 and 1700 UT the only "worldwide" program block - on weekdays at least (for Border Crossings at 1500, then Talk To America's live 1600 edition). The full broadcasting day is now:- 0900-1200 UT to the Middle East only (around lunchtime local time) 1200-1500 UT to Asia only 1500-1700 UT to Asia, Middle East and Africa 1700-2200 UT to Africa only 2200-0300 UT to Asia only 0300-0900 UT to Africa with an extended morning broadcast.

Unfortunately after around 1800 the most reliable frequency of 15240 from Briech, Morocco starts to fade out leaving VOA extremely difficult to hear.

Now that the B-04 FCC, HFCC and LeSea schedules are available, I'm curious if the complicated schedule on WHRI Angel 1 that Wolfgang Buschel pointed out is due to the fact that different antennas are used during the 01 to 06 UTC period on different days. Also note that the HFCC sked lists all Cypress Creek registrations under the WSHB callsign instead of WHRI, even though LeSea now officially controls the station. I would like to note that the sale of WSHB from the First Church of Christ Scientist to LeSea was never reported in the Church's newspaper "The Christian Science Monitor," which lost 10,000 subscribers during the past year.

CRONACA VATICANA http://www.repubblica.it/news/ired/ultimora/rep_nazionale_n_879180.html Per le emissioni a Cesano chiesti 15 giorni di reclusione "Ma se corrono ai ripari possono evitare la condanna" Elettrosmog di radio Vaticana --- Il pm: "Vertici da arrestare" Il procuratore Amendola sottolinea l'atteggiamento di totale chiusura dei dirigenti dell'emittente cattolica Le antenne di Radio Vaticana a Santa Maria di Galeria ROMA - Quindici giorni di arresto con sospensione condizionale della pena subordinata alla eliminazione della situazione di pericolo ed al risarcimento dei danni. E' la richiesta dei rappresentanti della pubblica accusa per i responsabili di Radio Vaticana accusati del presunto inquinamento elettromagnetico nella zona di Cesano, a nord di Roma. Gli imputati, padre Pasquale Borgomeo, direttore generale di Radio Vaticana, padre Roberto Tucci, presidente del Comitato di gestione, e Costantino Pacifici, responsabile della parte tecnica dell'emittente della Santa Sede, sono accusati di "getto pericoloso di cose". "A noi interessa che questa situazione cessi - dice il procuratore aggiunto Gianfranco Amendola - e che torni la tranquillità tra la gente di Cesano. Per questo subordiniamo la richiesta di condanna alla sospensione condizionale della pena alla eliminazione della situazione di pericolo tuttora esistente e al risarcimento del danno per i poveri cittadini danneggiati". Secondo il pm Stefano Pesci Radio Vaticana, tra il 2001 e il 2002, ha creato consistenti disturbi con le emissioni delle sue ondeelettromagnetiche. Fastidi che sono continuati nel 2003, nonostante una riduzione delle emissioni. Per rafforzare la sua tesi Amendola ha mostrato decine di testimonianze e le conclusioni degli esperti tecnici che la procura di Roma ha coinvolto come consulenti. Durissime le parole del procuratore aggiunto. Un vero e proprio atto d'accusa per l'emittente della Santa Sede. "Sin dall'inizio si è rifiutato qualunque dialogo con i cittadini, si è rifiutato ogni tipo di controlli. Non si è risposto alle richieste di chiarimenti inoltrati dalla magistratura romana che cercava di capire che cosa fosse successo. - dice il procuratore aggiunto - E' impossibile mettere piede in Radio Vaticana non si può entrare e noi non ci siamo riusciti. L'emittente si è difesa sostenendo addirittura che i denuncianti fossero degli abusivi, come se fosse lecito per quei cittadini stare male o avere disturbi". Poi Amendola ha puntato l'attenzione sulle condizioni di vita della gente di Cesano. Da tempo in rivolta con la radio. "Se la popolazione di Santa Maria di Galeria e di Cesano non può vivere in pace senza subire disturbi mi domando che cosa si deve fare e a quel punto se tutto dovesse rimanere immutato dico che bisogna vergognarsi di far parte di questo Stato" ha ammonito il procuratore.

The Space Environment Center (SEC) reports the geomagnetic storm activity spiked into the ``extreme`` (G5) category November 9. The SEC estimates that G5-scale geomagnetic conditions will occur on just four days of each 11-year solar cycle. But solar flux and associated sunspot numbers for the short term are expected to peak around November 23-24 – that`s good propagation conditions with openings even on the 24 and 28 MHz (Radio Bulgaria DX Program Nov 19 via John Norfolk, dxldyg via DXLD) The geomagnetic field, through early on 20 November, was at quiet to unsettled levels. At high latitudes, active conditions persisted from 16/0800 – 1500 UTC and again from 17/0700 – 1200 UTC. By about 0500 UTC on 20 November, activity increased to unsettled to active, and by 20/1030 UTC, activity further increased at high latitudes to major to severe storm levels as a transequatorial coronal hole high speed wind stream became geoeffective. The summary period ended with predominately quiet to active levels observed at all latitudes with an isolated reading of minor storming midday on 21/1200 UTC at mid-latitudes and a period of minor to major storming observed at high latitudes from 22/1000 – 1600 UTC. FORECAST OF SOLAR AND GEOMAGNETIC ACTIVITY 24 NOVEMBER - 20 DECEMBER Solar activity is expected to be at mostly low to moderate levels as old Regions 693 (23 November), 698 (24 November), and 696 (26 November) are due to return. Flare and CME activity from the southeast limb would suggest that either (or both) Regions 693 and 698 are still quite active. A greater than 10 MeV proton event is possible early in the period with major flare activity from returning active regions. The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit is expected to be at high levels on 24 November and again on 06 – 11 Dec. The geomagnetic field is expected to range from mostly quiet to unsettled. From 06 – 10 December, a recurrent coronal hole high speed solar wind stream is expected to become geoeffective. :Product: 27-day Space Weather Outlook Table 27DO.txt :Issued: 2004 Nov 23 2211 UTC # Prepared by the US Dept. of Commerce, NOAA, Space Environment Center # Product description and SEC contact on the Web # http://www.sec.noaa.gov/wwire.html # # 27-day Space Weather Outlook Table # Issued 2004 Nov 23 # # UTC Radio Flux Planetary Largest # Date 10.7 cm A Index Kp Index 2004 Nov 24 115 8 3 2004 Nov 25 120 10 3 2004 Nov 26 125 15 3 2004 Nov 27 130 10 3 2004 Nov 28 135 5 2 2004 Nov 29 135 5 2 2004 Nov 30 130 10 3 2004 Dec 01 130 8 3 2004 Dec 02 125 5 2 2004 Dec 03 125 5 2 2004 Dec 04 125 5 2 2004 Dec 05 125 10 3 2004 Dec 06 125 20 4 2004 Dec 07 110 20 4 2004 Dec 08 100 15 3 2004 Dec 09 100 10 3 2004 Dec 10 95 15 3 2004 Dec 11 95 10 3 2004 Dec 12 100 10 3 2004 Dec 13 100 10 3 2004 Dec 14 100 8 3 2004 Dec 15 100 8 3 2004 Dec 16 95 8 3 2004 Dec 17 95 12 3 2004 Dec 18 95 12 3 2004 Dec 19 100 10 3 2004 Dec 20 100 8 3 (http://www.sec.noaa.gov/radio via WORLD OF RADIO 1254, DXLD) TIPS FOR RATIONAL LIVING ++++++++++++++++++++++++ THE ROOTS OF VIOLENCE Wealth without work, Pleasure without conscience, Knowledge without character, Commerce without morality, Science without humanity, Worship without sacrifice, Politics without principles (- Mahatma Gandhi via Franklin Seiberling, DXLD) Priests are like cuttlefish --- they spread an inky, black gloom through the medium in which they move (Thomas Jefferson, portrayed by Clay Jenkinson, on The Thomas Jefferson Hour, WHRV, 1816 UT Nov 23, notes by gh for DXLD) ###
