TANZANIA- 11734 kHz R Tanzania Zanzibar, QSL letter received from "The
Zanzibar Revolutionary Government" station, "Voice of  Tanzania
Zanzibar". V/s was Khalid H Rajah, for the Director. For EE report, cass
and USD 2-00, in 6 weeks. The tape was sent in a  separate envelope to
the letter... also returned a signed PPC as well. The letter says they
use a Chenese (sic) 50kW transmitter and they've certainly been heard
here with a better signal than over previous years... it took me 25
years to get a decent log of them! SPARC Country #234... (Ormandy, New

BELGIUM - [non]. More mixups at RVI: Checking for Radio World via
Bonaire 15565 at 0400, UT Sun May 30 had Music from  Flanders; UT Mon
May 31 no Radio World but Friday ? program (Joe Hanlon, PA, June 1,
REVIEW OF INTERNATIONAL  BROADCASTING / SHORTWAVE/DX REPORT 99-24, June

CANADA / INDONESIA- I spoke with the CBC's frequency manager's secretary
about 15150 at 1900-2100, and told her how RCI was  clashing with the
Voice of Indonesia. She told me she would look into this problem and
speak to Mr. Hendro Martono, the director of the English service, VOI.
She had no intentions of moving to a different frequency, but I indeed
told her that they are also broadcastiong to  Asia and Africa at that
same time (Gordon Hein, Jr., Alcester SD, May 17, REVIEW OF
INTERNATIONAL BROADCASTING/ SHORTWAVE/DX REPORT 99-24, June 3)

CHINA- [non]. CRI relay at 2300 on 5990 is still intermittent, missing
entirely some days and sometimes having mixing problems when they are on
(Ivan Grishin, Ont., May 25, REVIEW OF INTERNATIONAL BROADCASTING/
SHORTWAVE/DX REPORT 99-24, June 3)

COSTA RICA- RFPI news from the Mailbag as repeated June 2 at 0330 with
James Latham and Joe Bernard: Have given up on carrying  Pacifica News,
due to USD 2000 cost for affiliation required, and 3-4 hours of
downloading it took to get the half-hour show. Instead, RPFI from May 31
and for the new programming quarter from June 1, is starting its own
production, Progressive Network News, M-F at  2200, length varying
20-30 minutes; includes Kosovo report, and Chiapas news. The FM
transmitter [101.3] is being moved to a hilltop  for better coverage.
Expects to get a grant from Rotary to install for backup power a
"massive photovoltaic array"; and a 1000-watt wind  generator, which
they hope will not get blown away itself! 15050 has been off the air due
to lightning strikes [but on as of June 2] and  21460 has been off with
a fan problem, but back soon [also on as of June 2]. Everything is
recycled at RFPI, including computer paper,  printing it on both sides.
Institute for Progressive Communication has some great students, and
three from May are staying over another  month in June [and presumably
involved in PNN production]. (via Hauser, REVIEW OF INTERNATIONAL
BROADCASTING/  SHORTWAVE/DX REPORT 99-24, June 3)

CUBA- RHC's DXers Unlimited was playing the tape backwards, at 0330 UT
Wed [May 26, I believe -gh], but was forwards at 0130 (George Thurman,
TX/ SHORTWAVE/DX REPORT 99-24, June 3) --- Haven't heard it past couple
weeks but nothing about this on  June 1 show; did Arnie ever say
anything about the China relays, forwards or backwards? Check his
scripts at website <http://www.radiohc.org >(Glenn Hauser, WORLD OF

INDONESIA-  7098.26, RRI Yogyakarta, Heard every morning but barely

DXPEDITION USA 2 June)

NEW ZEALAND- I heard RNZI change freqs at 1130 from 9700 to 6100 on May
24 to carry a silly ball game. I thought they were  supposed to use 6105
when they're on late. WSHB on 6095 was making life difficult for NZ on
6100. (Ivan Grishin, Ont., May 25,  REVIEW OF INTERNATIONAL

NIGERIA- [non]. See the latest SENTECH update below. The two "WRN"

Nigeria, which in an open (?) secret is fed from London studios via WRN
satellite facilities - but according to this  has just been deleted. Is

PRESS RELEASE

We are proud to announce a new service called "Shortwave Transmitter
Countries".  "Shortwave Transmitter Countries" is the free online
Internet version of the well-known publication TDP, the Transmitter
Documentation Project. Here you will find information on all the
shortwave radio broadcast transmitters installed all over the world,
arranged in country order. Details include radio stations, transmitter
sites with geographical coordinates, number, power, transmitter
manufacturer, type number and year of in and out of service. "Shortwave
Transmitter Countries" is interactive with the other sections of the TDP
website. A few examples will show what this means: - each  country page
has links to the websites of the shortwave radio stations, the shortwave
transmitter manufacturers and the specification sheets of the different
shortwave transmitter types - if you want to know where a particular
shortwave transmitter type is installed, you go  to "Marketplace" or
"Museum", select the particular transmitter and you get a list of
countries where this type of transmitter is installed -  the same is
true for the tube complement of any shortwave transmitter; you are able
to find out where a particular tube is in use. You can  access this new
service from servers with different locations, so that you can choose
the fastest one from your location. They are: *
<http://www.ping.be/tdp/>* <http://www.transmitter.be>*
<http://www.transmitter.org> Select "Shortwave Transmitter Countries" to
explore the wealth of information provided and don't forget to bookmark
the URL that works best for you.  If you have a website of your own and
like the info on our website, then we would appreciate very much that
you place a link on your website to ours. Although the  supplied
information is pretty complete and accurate to the best of our
knowledge, your corrections, additions, advice and critics are always
welcome. Address all your correspondence to<tdp@xxxxxxx >. "Shortwave
Transmitter Countries", another service from TDP, the  Worldwide
Transmitter Organisation.  (Ludo Maes, Belgium)
