DIGITAL MODULATION - Bonaire relay with R. Vlaanderen Intl on 11750 at
*0428-0456* in Dutch. Then shifts to 11810 with DW in English from
*0458. Horrible digital modulation, typical of all Bonaire transmitters,
with wide splatter over 40 kHz. According to DXLD-49, WGTG is planning
to use digital modulation on new transmitter. All MW and SW stations are
now using this atrocious digital audio systme, but when I firist
mentioned it two years ago in DXLD-47, I was called a conspiracy nut.
Tune in WWCR or RCI in the SSB mode and watch the digital pulse
modulation on your S-meter. The meter swings wildly from 40 over S9 to
S2 between each word or syllable. This often causes terrible voice
distortion when listening in the AM mode, since the carrier is cut off
between each word. The old AM signals had a steady, uninterrupted
carrier with much better audio. The wide new digital modulation is
causing horrible QRM on SW, as I predicted two years ago (Ernie Behr,
Ont., May 10, REVIEW OF INTERNATIONAL BROADCASTING and WORLD OF RADIO
942/ GH SW/DX Report 98-24, May 28)
ECUADOR - Hi, Just recently I noticed that HCJB's English morning
transmission to Europe (07.00 to 09.00 hours UTC on 11960 kHz) is
interrupted daily at 08.00 hours UTC by a short transmission break. In
an e-mail message, HCJB's Frequency Manager David Lewis explains: As an
explanation for the interruptions, I'd like to begin by saying that
we're running on reduced transmitter output power right now. Normally,
we transmit this English-to-Europe release at 250 KW on our 500 KW
transmitter. However, about 2 weeks ago, a large transformer in this
transmitter developed an internal short-circuit, forcing us to take the
transmitter off-line, and seek repairs for the transformer. As a
backup, we have four 100 KW transmitters, and we had to make a new
broadcast schedule, in which we took all of our 500 KW transmitter's
programs and transferred them over to our 100 KW transmitters. What
this means is that some language programs now have to be "cut up" at
times (usually at the hours or half-hours) to fit into the 100 KW
transmitters' program schedules, due to the addition of the 500 KW
transmitter's additional programming. When the 500 KW transmitter was
operating, the 0700 to 0900 hrs UTC English programming ran
continuously, without any "transfer" interruptions. Now, however, we
have to have a "transfer break" shortly before 0800 hrs UTC, because we
have to now split up this English programming between two 100 KW
transmitters. That explains the break you heard (and will hear for a
while longer) at 0800 UTC. The other break that you heard was at 0728
hrs UTC, and was caused by an unintentional RF power amplifier reflected
voltage fault. It just so happened that this fault occured near the
half hour. It was probably good that you sent your message, since when
we investigated this fault, we discovered a mechanical fault with a
tuning coil in the affected transmitter, and we were able to correct it
right away. We hope to have our 500 KW transmitter back on-line again
in a week or two, and when this is possible, the 11960 Khz programming
to Europe should once again be coming to you with more output power and
hopefully fewer interruptions. (via Michiel Schaay, The Netherlands)
GERMANY - I was also surprised to hear Brother Stair on 3945. Deutsche
Telekom has departed from its traditional conservatism in frequency
selection here. As was rightly pointed out, 3945 is not allocated to
broadcasting in Region 1. 3945 is particularly touchy, because the
nearby 3943.5 has been reserved for the French military, and NATO
activity has also been noted close by. I recall that IRRS Milan tried
using 3945 under a loophole in the ITU regulations (like BBC 9410 does)
many years ago, but was jammed heavily as a not-too-subtle invitation to
get off! So far, DT has been getting away with it, so one assumes that
some sort of understanding has been reached, no doubt helped by the
substantial dollars/marks flowing in from Brother Stair! As for the
ham radio protests, I'm afraid Brother Stair is technically right: the
amateur service has no claim to 3945 in Region 1. On the bottom line,
according to ITU agreements, DT/Brother Stair may continue to occupy
3945 unless higher priority services officially complain within 30 days.
I don't think this will happen, because of the reasons mentioned above.

announced that the name of the new capital would be changed from Akmola

Nazarbayev is scheduled to preside over official ceremonies to present
the new capital to the world on June 10th. (9-May/Reuters/Toronto Globe

the temporary 7.5 kw unit on 3215, they should do so soon, while the
opportunity is still available. The 25 kW txer was previously in service
in Germany, and it also will be co-located at the RN relay stn at

NIGERIA - Regarding the V. of Nigeria statements, obtained by Hans
Johnson/Cumbre DX: They emphasized, that they operate 15120 with a new
Thomcast transmitter. This suggests, that 7255 originates still from one
of the "old" 500 kW Brown Boveri units, installed around 1980; likely
running on half power as in previous years. As I understand, it was
believed, that these five Brown Boveri transmitters are already
collapsed, but seemingly at least one piece is still alive (Kai Ludwig,

PAPUA NEW GUINEA - From 'The National', Port Moresby, 27 May 1998. "NBC
also to blame for chaos, says ex-director". By PETER KASIA. The
National Broadcasting Corporation must be blamed equally for the chaos
it is experiencing, a former director for the NBC's policy, Joseph
Korau, said. Mr Korau said the problems have not cropped up overnight
but have accumulated over the years because of the failures of
executives to implement the Government's Broadcasting Development Plan
(BDP) on NBC. "I don't think there are financial problems with NBC.
Funds are there, it is the implementation of the Government's policy,"
he said. Mr Korau said the BDP was originally intended to be implemented
in three phases and he had personally implemented the first part of
phase one in 1987, which involved the installation of new 10 kilowatt
high frequencies in all the provincial stations under the Japanese
government's aid. "This was to be followed by part two of phase one on
the relocation and the installation of new 10 kilowatt high frequency
national Karai transmitters at Bubia near Lae and the relocation of
medium wave Karai and Radio Central transmitters at Bootless Bay along
the Magi Highway so as to make the site available for the Waigani City
Development Plan to take place," he said. Mr Korau said that phase two
of the BDP was to have involved the replacement of transmitter aerials,
wire mattings and program lines (owned by PTC) from the studios to the
transmitters in order to improve radio signals (receptions) throughout
the country. He said phase three of the BDP would have involved the
replacement of studio equipment and facilities including the
construction of a new studio/office complexes at Madang, Lorengau,
Kavieng, Kimbe, Arawa, Lae, Popondetta, Alotau, Mount Hagen and Mendi.
"How can the NBC management expect the Government to come to their aid
when they are to be blamed for not implementing the existing development
policy, especially part two of phase one, phase wo and phase three?" Mr
Korau said. He said foreign aid donors were readily available to
assist the NBC and this would only come about if the NBC executive knew
how to go about securing assistance of that kind. "During my time with
the NBC, the Japanese Government through the Japanese International
Co-operation Agency (JICA) provided a report on a new three-storey
office, radio/television complex for the NBC at Five Mile at a cost of
K17 million. Unfortunately, the then chairman, Sir Alkan Tololo, thought
it otherwise and the whole plan fell apart. Simply put, the past
chairmen of the NBC, mostly former diplomats with no radio background,
are to be blamed as well for the current dire state of affairs within
the NBC," Mr Korau said. (via Matt Francis /EDXP # 90)
