1340 kHz Phone Busy Signal  View Printable Version 
Friday, December 20 2019

HCDX
Got to love Frontier Communications Phone Service.  Ever since they took
over from Verizon years ago the entire state has been lacking for any
kind of service. Rumors are they are going to file bankruptcy early next
year.  My land line is VOIP and has been for years via cable.

Norddeutscher Rundfunk, Greetings on Board Christmas Eve  View Printable Version 
Wednesday, December 18 2019

HCDX


Manuel Méndez
Lugo, Spain

Like last years, on December 24 Norddeutscher Rundfunk will broadcast
the program "Gruß an Bord", "Greetings on Board".
Here is the text from its website in German and at the bottom in English
(translated from Google) with times and frequencies:

https://www.ndr.de/nachrichten/info/sendungen/Gruss-an-Bord-So-empfangen-Sie-die-Sendung,grussanbord534.html

"Gruß an Bord": So empfangen Sie die Sendung

Es hat Tradition und versprüht eine ganz besondere vorweihnachtliche
Stimmung: An Heiligabend werden von 20.05 Uhr - 22.00 Uhr und von 23.15
- 24.00 Uhr auf NDR Info Grüße an die Seeleute in aller Welt gesendet.
Und das auf den unterschiedlichsten Kanälen und technischen Wegen,
sodass die Grüße und Botschaften auch garantiert auf allen sieben
Weltmeeren empfangen werden können.

Fernglas hinaus aufs Meer. © dpa-Bildfunk Foto: Carsten Rehder
Die Schiffsbesatzungen haben mehrere Möglichkeiten, die Sendung "Gruß an
Bord" zu empfangen. Auch die Kurzwelle gehört dazu.

Die Livestreams der Sendung (20.05 bis 22 Uhr und 23.15 Uhr bis 24 Uhr
MEZ) finden Sie hier: NDR Info und NDR Info Spezial. Zusätzlich gibt es
die Möglichkeit, die Sendung über die NDR Radio-App zu hören. NDR Info
ist außerdem über UKW, DAB+ und DVB-S Radio zu empfangen, NDR Info
Spezial lediglich über DAB+ und DVB-S Radio.

Damit alle Besatzungen an Bord - auf den Meeren oder in den Häfen - die
Traditionssendung empfangen können, hat der NDR Hörfunk zusätzlich
Kurzwellen-Frequenzen angemietet:

In der Zeit von 19 bis 21 Uhr UTC (20 bis 22 Uhr MEZ) sendet die
Kurzwelle über folgende Frequenzen (UTC ist die Abkürzung für die
koordinierte Weltzeit, Universal Time Coordinated):


"Gruß an Bord" via KurzwelleFrequenz Zielgebiet
6.080 kHz Atlantik - Nord
11.650 kHz Atlantik - Süd
9.800 kHz Atlantik/Indischer Ozean (Süd Afrika)
9.740 kHz Indischer Ozean - West
9.570 kHz Indischer Ozean - Ost
6.030 kHz Europa

In der Zeit von 21 bis 23 Uhr UTC (22 bis 24 Uhr MEZ) sendet die
Kurzwelle über folgende Frequenzen:


"Gruß an Bord" via KurzwelleFrequenz Zielgebiet
6.145 kHz Atlantik - Nord
9.830 kHz Atlantik - Süd
9.590 kHz Atlantik/Indischer Ozean (Süd Afrika)
9.740 kHz Indischer Ozean - West
9.675 kHz Indischer Ozean - Ost
6.155 kHz Europa

NDR Info sendet den "Gruß an Bord" von 20.05 bis 22 Uhr MEZ.
Anschließend folgt von 22 bis 23.15 Uhr MEZ die Übertragung der
Christmette aus der Kirche St. Maria Magdalena in Bochum-Wattenscheid.
Anschließend hören Sie bis 24 Uhr MEZ den zweiten Teil von "Gruß an
Bord".

Ab dem späten Abend finden Sie einen Mitschnitt der Sendung zum
Nachhören hier - aus rechtlichen Gründen allerdings ohne große Teile der
Musikeinspielungen."

"Greeting on board": How to receive the program

It has a long tradition and exudes a very special pre-Christmas mood: On
Christmas Eve, from 8.05 p.m. to 10 p.m. and from 11.15 p.m. to
midnight, greetings are sent to seafarers all over the world on NDR
Info. And this on a wide variety of channels and technical channels, so
that greetings and messages can also be guaranteed to be received on all
seven seas.

binoculars at the sea. © dpa-Bildfunk Photo: Carsten Rehder
The ship's crew have several options for receiving the "Greetings on
Board" program. The short wave is one of them.

You can find the livestreams of the program (8.05pm to 10pm and 11.15pm
to midnight CET) here: NDR Info and NDR Info Spezial. There is also the
option of listening to the program via the NDR radio app. NDR Info can
also be received via FM, DAB + and DVB-S radio, NDR Info Spezial only
via DAB + and DVB-S radio.

So that all crews on board - on the seas or in the ports - can receive
the traditional broadcast, NDR radio has also rented shortwave
frequencies:

In the period from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. UTC (8 p.m. to 10 p.m. CET), the
shortwave transmits via the following frequencies (UTC is the
abbreviation for coordinated universal time, Universal Time
Coordinated):


"Greetings on board" via shortwave frequency target area
6.080 kHz Atlantic - North
11,650 kHz Atlantic - south
9,800 kHz Atlantic / Indian Ocean (South Africa)
9,740 kHz Indian Ocean - West
9,570 kHz Indian Ocean - East
6.030 kHz Europe

From 9:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. UTC (10:00 p.m. to 12:00 p.m. CET), the
shortwave transmits via the following frequencies:


"Greetings on board" via shortwave frequency target area
6.145 kHz Atlantic - North
9.830 kHz Atlantic - South
9,590 kHz Atlantic / Indian Ocean (South Africa)
9,740 kHz Indian Ocean - West
9,675 kHz Indian Ocean - East
6.155 kHz Europe

NDR Info sends the "Greetings on board" from 8.05pm to 10pm CET. This is
followed by the transmission of the Christmas mass from the Church of
St. Maria Magdalena in Bochum-Wattenscheid from 10 p.m. to 11.15 p.m.
CET. You will then hear the second part of "Greetings on board" until
midnight CET.

As of late evening, you will find a recording of the program for
listening here - for legal reasons, however, without large parts of the
music recordings. "
