			VOLUME TEN - NUMBER TWO

October 12th 1997

Yes Friends, another week gone by ( seems to get faster as one gets
older), but who's complaining??.

Radio St Helena day is only a couple of weeks away, and I guess that
the Ears of the world will be tuned to the static for that important
ID etc on 11092.5 KHz USB ( more info on the www site listed
in the next item), which is where we start todays issue.

				************************

		RADIO ST HELENA

Some news has been received from St Helena about the broadcast on Sun
Oct
26. Please take a look on
		 http://www.sthelena.se
 for the updated infos.

	KIWI BROADCAST vai Radio RJK CANCELLED!!

KIWI Radio will NOT be on air today via Radio RJK, as the 
operator has "COOKED" the finals in his transmitter, We suspect
that he was not being carefull when he was "Playing" with it.
Just a carefull warning to us all that if you don't know what you
are doing, then Don't do it, it can be an expensive exercise to repair
but also a long delay can happen, especially if you live anywhere like
New Zealand where the Finals Tubes/Valves are NOT available here
and have to be imported into the country, this can be a long wait
as well. We think it is often cheaper to " buy" your friends a beer
or two and get the job done properly at a much cheaper cost to you.

We are not aware of when Radio RJK will be active again, but we will
keep you posted.

KIWI's FM station ( in partnership with Radio Sue ) is called
SOUNDWAVE FM, and tests over the past week or so have been good,
even to the point of " annoying" another microbroadcaster in the
Hawke's Bay area of New Zealand.
It seems that the "War" may have started., In the past week we have
had three separate "incidents" that have accurred ONLY since we
began to broadcast on FM. ( we do note that the "Other" station
has changed their original reason for starting their station from being
Totally Commercial free, (as quoted in a newspaper item) to now
sounding like any other FM station with commercial content being
included and the change of music format has only made their station
go from OK to bad ( my opinion ONLY).
Our station SOUNDWAVE FM will NOT follow their example.
When we promise NO commercial content - we mean it.

From: Ludo Maes <tdp@xxxxxxx>

Dear Radio-Friend,

Welcome to this update about TDP, the "Transmitter Documentation
Project".
Since our last mailing (August 4, 1997) a wealth of additional
information about shortwave radio has been added to our website.

Here are the details :

1) DIGITAL Shortwave Radio

Shortwave radio broadcasting is moving into the digital age as well.
Here you will find information about the proposed systems with technical
details and the manufacturers, organisations and radio stations involved
in this fascinating evolution which will certainly cause a revival of
shortwave radio broadcasting.

2) Shortwave Radio STATIONS

Links to the websites of the radio stations that broadcast on shortwave,
sorted in the most comprehensive way possible. Have a look to convince
yourself.

3) TDP Shortwave Transmitter MUSEUM

We are building up a museum with technical information about shortwave
broadcast transmitters that are no longer manufactured today but are
still in use at many sites around the world. We have lots of
documentation in our archives to include on this page, only time has
prevented us right now to extend it more, but be sure to have a look
from time to time to find the information you need.

4) TDP SERVICES

If you are looking for airtime or for a shortwave transmitter, or if you
have airtime or a shortwave transmitter for sale, be sure to visit our
"TDP Shortwave Transmitter AIRTIME" and "TDP Shortwave Transmitter
MARKETPLACE" services.

5) The MANUFACTURERS Pages

If you want to consult the website of a shortwave ANTENNA, TRANSMITTER
or TUBE manufacturer, here you will find the links, addresses, telephone
and fax numbers.

6) The booklet TDP SW-97, the "Transmitter Documentation Project".

TDP SW-97 is a booklet listing all the shortwave broadcast transmitters
installed around the world with every possible detail plus a number of
articles and statistical breakdowns.
Ordering information, press releases, references and reviews can be
found right here.

Be sure to have a look at our website at http://www.ping.be/tdp to
consult any of the above information. We just moved to a faster server
which should give you a quick access to our pages.

Kind regards,
Ludo Maes

Our web site deals with shortwave radio broadcast transmitters in all
possible ways.
We supply information (in our publication TDP SW-97) on the shortwave
transmitters installed around the world with every possible detail.
If you need a new or second hand shortwave transmitter, antenna or tube,
this is the place to be.
If you want to sell a shortwave transmitter, this is the place to be.
If you want to hire or sell airtime on a shortwave transmitter, this
is the place to be.

		AUSTRALIAN FM PIRATE ???

Station noted on 105.1 again on Saturday 11th of October at 0700UTC 
playing continous mix.
This is the first time this frequency has been active in the last few
weeks.
I am of the opinion that this station (NOW FM) is a pirate though I
might be wrong.

(Anon - Australia)
( ed note: This station is in the Bundaberg area of  Queensland,
Australia.)
			**********************
RADIO LONDON RSL:

Plan's are being made to put another Radio London RSL on the air
but this time from London and on FM. The application for the licence
has to be in this Tuesday and ships are being looked at this weekend
as a base for the station, which would 'link' from the ship based studio
to the main FM outlet.

There are  plans for a possible RNI Revival next spring also.

Re: New UK Radio Guide - CORRECTION:

Unfortunately the press release which I posted  last week 
giving details of the new 15th edition of "Radio Stations in the United 
Kingdom" gave the wrong address for the British DX Club's web site.

The correct address is: www.umist.ac.co.uk/BDXC  [BDXC must be in
capital letters]

Full details of how to order the publication are available on the
BDXC-UK web site at this address. If you don't have access to the web
and would like further details, 
please send an e-mail to:       bdxc@xxxxxxxxxxx

CORRECTION from Burnet Pollard Books - New Zealand:

In our last update we quoted Passport to World Band Radio at NZ$40.00,
our mistake, the price is NZ$42.95 from September 30th.
We also stock the Australasian Shortwave Guide from Bob Padula
for Customers in New Zealand ONLY at NZ$10.00.

ROCK-IT RADIO :
Hello everyone,

     Due to rapid expansion and some minor health reasons, we have
decided to expand greatly the service of Rock-it radio and to lighten up
my load a little bit.  We have just purchased a more professional mixer
with 8 channel capability so hopefully our broadcasts will be that much
more cleaner also.
 I will still be handling the initial programming and broadcasts for the
internet via real audio.  As a reminder you can hear Rock-it Radio via
real audio at:  http://www.palmsradio.com/raindex.htm.  
They are our web server for web radio via Real Audio and also run
station KPLM- Palmsradio out of Corpus Christi Texas.
     However, to help us out we have just hired 3 new people to join us
in
the Rock-it effort this last week.  First would like to welcome a long
time
friend and radio professional David Luttrell formerly from radio station
KXRT in Taos New Mexico has moved back into our area.  He will be in
charge of broadcasts of Rock-it Radio programs of newer stations that
has come aboard the Rock-it family on AM and FM.and will also help in
sales and promotions.  His voice I concede is much more professional
then mine so we plan on taking advantage of that.  
     I have also hired my niece Debbie Snowdove who will be starting up
a new branch of Rock-it Radio known as Snowdove Radio.  And will feature
native American and Inuit music to primarily serve the Inuit and
Athabascan communities.  As a new station in Karluk Alaska on Kodiak
island will soon be completed for the native population.  Myself and
Dave Luttrell will also be looking to expand Snowdove Radio onto the
internet and web radio.  Any questions you may contact Debbie at: 
Debofalaka@xxxxxxxx  
She has already signed an agreement along with Rock-it Radio at KPFN -
Puffin Radio in Seward, Alaska.
     Finally now that we now have over 30 stations covering the
Rock-it.  We have also hired Kris Ralston back in California to start
assisting as
secretary and in dubbing tapes that will be going out and also
catalogging
our ever increasing music selections, as we are continually looking to
expand as the only provider of American rare and unreleased Rock & Roll,
Rhythm and Blues, Rockabilly and Doo-wop music of the 1950's.  
      In the future we would like to again expand our Italian outlets
like we had in 1996 and also return to shortwave from there to possibly
cover europe again.  The Italian Radio Relay Service has always been
very good to us.  And we look forward to continue our relationship with
them.  
Again, in the meantime those around the world can still here us at the
above stated web address.   Again, thanks to Andrea Borgnino you can
still view our web page also that has been updated at:
 http://www.alpcom.it/hamradio/freewaves/rock_it.htm 
     We are also looking into extending our range of our microbroadcast
outlet on 88.1 FM to continue to serve our small local community.  If
not 24 hours at least during the weekends 24 hours.  
     Also, we will continue to seek more people that wish to relay the
Rock-it radio programming and we should receive a relay again in New
Zealand soon.  Graham Barclay and his Kiwi Radio newsletter should keep
us informed of that event.
     We are also looking into returning on the 6955 scene also very soon
so with that and closing we will leave you with our snail mail address.

Rock-it Radio
P O  Box 5617
Ventura, California
USA     93005

 God Bless and take care everyone,
Bennie Dingo
Rock-it Radio  
     

P.S:. Those that wish to carry rock-it Radio as you can tell we are
again
looking to expand.....  may receive a demo tape by writing to the above
address or...  via e mail at our address "rockitrad@xxxxxxx" or those
interested in American/ Canadian Native Broadcasts and music 
should Email :  Debofalaka@xxxxxxx

 If you have ever been stuck with  a  'returned to sender' when sending
a
letter to a US MW station or just don't know the address   try the
following link  .
  http://www.fcc.gov/mmb/asd/seacall.html         
this takes you to the FCC page and gives you the mailing address for the
station/license holder for a "Callsign"

For those of you like myself who lack a comprehensive list of stations'
mailing address, the FCC mass media bureau's website has helped
somewhat.

They have the station's owners addresses listed. It's not great, but at
least it's a start. Bookmark the following site, if you haven't already
 http://www.fcc.gov/mmb/asd/seacall.html

Wishing good DX.

	WANTED : Your not needed Books:

Thanks to many DXers last year's Cumbre DX Book Exchange was a big
sucess.
We matched over 250 SWLs who donated their old book to a SWL in a
developing country.  As many of you know the new Passport To World Band
Radio has hit the shelves.  We still have requests left over from this
year.  Mostly from India.  Maybe it's time you consider giving your PWBR
or old WRTH to a needy SWL in a developing country.  If you are not
familiar how the project works
please read on.  Email me if you are interested and I will be glad to
send
you an address.

CUMBRE DX BOOK EXCHANGE 

Cumbre DX is sponsoring a project to help out some of our 
fellow DXers in developing countries. If you are willing 
to send your 1997 (yes, 1997) World Radio-TV Handbook or 
Passport to World Band Radio to a needy Dxer, please contact 
Hans Johnson or Ulis Fleming. We will send you the address 
of a DXer who needs a book. We are also asking that you pick 
up the cost of shipping the book to the DXer. While we know 
that this is asking a lot,consider for a moment how hard 
it was for you when you were trying to DX without any 
reference books. And you'll make a new friend along the way.  
Both PWBR and the WRTH have agreed to donate 10 books each, 
but we are counting on YOUR support as well. We would also 
like to hear from DXers who are in need of a book and we 
will do our best to see that you get one.
