RTI: test di frequenza riuscito da Taiwan all'Europa  View Printable Version 
Wednesday, October 20 2021

bclnews
Radio Taiwan International (RTI) ha completato per il terzo anno
consecutivo i test di frequenza trasmettendo programmi in tedesco in
onde corte verso l'Europa centrale dalla sua sede di Tamsui, e la
valutazione SINPO degli ascoltatori ha una media di 3,78 su 5, grazie
alle buone condizioni climatiche.
Questi test, che si svolgono nel terzo trimestre dell'anno, sono stati
completati per cinque fine settimana consecutivi e RTI ha ricevuto
migliaia di rapporti di ricezione da 33 paesi durante questo periodo.
Alcune riviste tedesche di onde corte come Wellenjagd Funk Amateur e
Kurier hanno pubblicato questo evento invitando gli ascoltatori. Thomas
Knie, che vive nel comune di Erftstadt in Germania, ha evidenziato che
attraverso questi programmi ha potuto conoscere meglio il lavoro di RTI
in tedesco e gli aspetti sociali e culturali di Taiwan; mentre Holger
Wolf della città di Mannheim ha sottolineato che le trasmissioni fatte
dall'isola sembravano regali di Natale e lo riempivano di felicità.
Il CEO di RTI Chang Cheng ha indicato che, nonostante il fatto che quasi
tutta la programmazione della stazione possa essere ascoltata
chiaramente attraverso il sito Web, catturare i segnali a onde corte è
un piacere per i Dxer rispetto a quello sperimentato dai surfisti,
quando cavalcano un'onda. Allo stesso modo, l'onda corta rompe tutte le
barriere al blocco delle informazioni su Internet imposte da alcuni governi.
Come ringraziamento per l'ascolto, RTI ha realizzato una speciale QSL
con disegni della gazza di Formosa, specie endemica dell'isola, che
verrà spedita agli ascoltatori che hanno inviato il rapporto di ascolto.

Fun & Games at HFCC B-21  View Printable Version 
Wednesday, October 20 2021

bclnews


Looking at projected B-21 skeds from Oct 31 now available from HFCC:
http://www.hfcc.org/data/b21/index.phtml

** ALASKA. KNLS B-21 English, FWIW in HFCC, tho abrupt changes happen:
08-09 6075, 10-11 9680, 12-13 9580 9625, 14-15 6110

** ALGERIA. TDA mixes in real schedules via FRANCE with extensive
imaginary 24h schedules via own sites Ourgla and Bechar, possibly still
under construxion?
http://www.hfcc.org/data/schedbybrc.php?seas=B21&broadc=TDA

** ANGUILLA. Did you know there is a broadcaster called ``Plummer
Applications``? 6090 & 11775 ex-Caribbean Beacon have been gone for
years but DOCTOR Jerry Plummer of WWCR must still think he`s the
frequency manager, on the payroll of PMS:
http://www.hfcc.org/data/schedbybrc.php?seas=B21&broadc=PLA

** BRAZIL. This country has been totally AWOL from HFCC, not even RNA,
but B-21 has a place for R. Inconfidência complete with accents!
http://www.hfcc.org/data/schedbybrc.php?seas=B21&broadc=INC Except there
are no entries for this 6010v & 15190v station; a thing to come?

** INDONESIA. Perhaps the greatest laughingstock is RRI which keeps
registering a huge totally imaginary schedule for external and domestic
transmitters, all in English! Including the only one which exists, 3325,
but for only one hour at 02-03 and as from Playa de Pals, long-abandoned
R. Liberty site in SPAIN, complete with its coördinates! Really should
be Palangkaraya, of course:
http://www.hfcc.org/data/schedbybrc.php?seas=B21&broadc=RRI

** MALAYSIA. RTM keeps on the books five long-gone imaginary frequencies
along with two more-or-less active ones:
http://www.hfcc.org/data/schedbybrc.php?seas=B21&broadc=RTM

** POLAND. Here`s an interesting new entry, not yet active? SPW Radio
Warsaw - Transatlantic Radio Station Cul [sic].  10 kW ND from Babice,
07-10 on 7430, 07-13 on 7415
http://www.hfcc.org/data/schedbybrc.php?seas=B21&broadc=SPW

** RUSSIA. The once-great R. Russia [sic] is shown with two Moskva and
one Khabarovsk frequency; maybe worth checking for DRM or something?
http://www.hfcc.org/data/schedbybrc.php?seas=B21&broadc=RRS

But also a huge totally imaginary sked for Voice of Russia:
http://www.hfcc.org/data/schedbybrc.php?seas=B21&broadc=VOR Wow, we`re
so impressed by this major broadcaster!

** SPAIN. Would you believe that REE is 100% in Spanish?
http://www.hfcc.org/data/schedbybrc.php?seas=B21&broadc=REE Whew, 9690
is coming back for North America

** THAILAND. HSK9 B-21 sked shows the `traditional` times for English
rather than 30 minutes earlier as recently monitored. Mistake? Which?
http://www.hfcc.org/data/schedbybrc.php?seas=B21&broadc=NBT

** U S A. We see that WBCQ is supposed to be on 5130 for 24 hours,
http://www.hfcc.org/data/schedbybrc.php?seas=B21&broadc=BCQ even tho it
was abandoned months ago in favor of 4790, and AW has said he`s not
going back to 5130. They must have forgot that when registering; or
changed the plan?

** U S A. Would you believe that WHRI is still registered B-21 for an
extensive schedule despite being totally off the air and for sale?
Probably just copied from a previous season, when known as LeSEA:
http://www.hfcc.org/data/schedbybrc.php?seas=B21&broadc=HRI

** U S A. Same old frequencies for WRMI Okeechobee, but note the other
site, Issoudun for certain target/clandestines not specified. And
besides 9490 for R. República, an alternate appears, 7225 from France,
which would violate the exclusive 40m hamband in Americas. But not until
1 March which is not a time change date
http://www.hfcc.org/data/schedbybrc.php?seas=B21&broadc=RMI

** U S A. WRNO still registered for an imaginary daytime frequency 15590
at 16-22, and much longer hours on 7505, 22-16, which is sometimes on
air at 01-04 only:
http://www.hfcc.org/data/schedbybrc.php?seas=B21&broadc=RNO

** U S A. Needlessly complex WWCR sked on same old frequencies except:
12180 at 12-24, also 12160 at 15-21 both on 85-degree antenna. Possible
alternate? http://www.hfcc.org/data/schedbybrc.php?seas=B21&broadc=WCR

** VANUATU. VBT shows a neat schedule on four non-overlapping
frequencies at 01-24: 7260, 3945, 2485, 3945; and also 5040 at 20-23
only, which is apparently its only active frequency currently at any
time: http://www.hfcc.org/data/schedbybrc.php?seas=B21&broadc=VBT

** VATICAN. International Radio for Disaster Relief is still registering
24/7 schedules on one frequency in every band 11 to 50 meters, all as if
from SMG, surely place-holders; despite never having done anything for
all the disasters we have been suffering:
http://www.hfcc.org/data/schedbybrc.php?seas=B21&broadc=RDR O, each
noted as: ``!IRDR! Dummy Req.`` OK! LOTS more dummies above (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

Wednesday, October 20 2021

bclnews


ETHIOPIA
yes, and Intruder Band Watch of Amateur radio operators report a lot of
broadcast intruder signal on hx 14220 kHz in past days.

7110 kHz Ethiopian service since 5. / 6. September 2021 on air again,
has been not heard on that 7110 kHz frequency since April 2011, though
10 1/2 years inactive in service.

At the same time, the 4 regular Gedja-ETH channels are only irregular on
air, 5950, 6030, 6090 and 6110 kHz only 1 - 2 TX on the air heard
recently, as if they are currently are very incorrectly disturbed (?),

and a 10 1/2 year old decommissioned 'FIXED frequency reserve
transmitter' went back into operation as a replacement transmitter ?

7110 kHz is also early on air in the morning with Carrier from approx.
03.58z, Program feed activation about later at about 04.05z until the
fade-out until 08.30 CEST / 06.30 UTC here in Europe.
