Year   4  Number  86  - Rome, May 3  1999


NIGERIA- [non]. Did not check April 15-16, but on April 23, ABS Radio
was back on RFPI Friday at 1232:42 repeat on 21460-USB, following the
English/Russian bilingual show. At outset, ABS Radio said it would be in
English, Yoruba, and also mentioned Kiswahili; did not stay with it as
the USB was unstable and weak (Glenn Hauser, OK / GH SHORTWAVE/DX REPORT
99-20, April 29)

NIGERIA- [non]. ABS is a Christian program. Heard it a few weeks ago
based on your tip. Sermon in English and several Christian slogans.
Believe that this was after Easter. (Hans Johnson, April 26, REVIEW OF
INTERNATIONAL BROADCASTING / GH SHORTWAVE/DX REPORT 99-20, April 29)

NIGERIA - [non]. Opposition station R. Kudirat has unexpectedly
returned, heard April 15 at 1900 on its former frequency 6205, also
announcing 11540; heard the next night 1900-2000 on 6205 and 11560, not
11540. These are via SENTECH, South Africa. Press reports say the
station returned April 12 after having difficulty getting permission to
broadcast within Nigeria (Chris Greenway, UKOGBANI, REVIEW OF
INTERNATIONAL BROADCASTING / GH SHORTWAVE/DX REPORT 99-19, April 22)

NORWAY- On some of my receivers, NRK 18950 at 1323 April 25 check had
annoying co-channel from Bro. Stair, 2 x 9475 WWCR  which is normally
extremely strong here; this harmonic probably receiver- produced, but
nonetheless a good reason not to use 18950 I'll bet Olav never thought
of (Glenn Hauser, REVIEW OF INTERNATINOAL BROADCASTING / GH SHORTWAVE/DX
REPORT 99-20, April 29)

PERU - After another fine tip of Stig Hartvig Nilsen I heard, but one
correction in tip of Stig,station name was Radio Difusora de 6 de
AgostoI did clearly Id the station several times as Radio Educadora de
Agosto, at 0100 UTC, and 3255.12 Khz, Id "AQUI RADIO  EDUCADORA DE
AGOSTO" I noted SINPO 33223, reception date 20/4/99. Seems that
conditions in the 90 meterband are very good at the moment,yesterday I
heard also Radio Luz y Sonido on 3234.82 Khz from Huanuco-Peru. Good
luck everyone! 73! (Ruud Vos, The Netherlands)

PERU- 5304.8 RADIO PAZ Y VIDA. 2334-0108 April 24. The Unid station
reported by Inoue in varios bulletins is the New Station Radio Paz y
Vida ( Radio Peace and Life) from Pampas in Tajacaya, Huancavelica,
Peru. In the mornings only programs in Quechua, last days transmission
1030-1200 and 2330-0100 with somes program in spanish as Juventud con
Dios and Familia Unida. usual ID:" Desde la capital energetica del Peru
en Pampas Tajacaya transmite Radio Paz y Vida para todo el Peru y el
mundo en la banda de 60 Metros..." Advs. Comedor Popular El buen
Samaritano " Para comer como rico, pagando como pobre" Clinica
veterinaria Lozano. After 0000 pgrm in Quechua. No heard QTH.
(Rodriguez, Colombia )

PERU- 6675.6 RADIO SUPER NUEVA SENSACION 2210-2300 April 24. After
several weeks of the air, back in new frequency, ex 6618.9 I contacted
via phone call ( 51-74-473239) to owner Emilio Carrsaco Moreno who
confirm the new frequency, I asked for the frequency because in the last
months I listen in this Radio Impacto and RD Paraton de Huarmaca, but he
no comments. He interested in reports for this frequency to Avendida
Ramon Castilla 331 or Calle El Puente 101 (personal QTH) " Les estamos
presentando su programa San Juanito Parrandero, San Juanito San Juanero
hoy que volvemos al aire, reportenos su sintonia de Radio Super Nueva
Sensacion de Huancabamba, mandanos tu cartita y te estaremos saludando
el dia sabado de 4 a 6 de la tarde..." Advs. Servicio Publicitario
Rangel. (Rodriguez, Colombia )

ROMANIA- RRI English: at 0200 9510 is hit by WYFR and RHC on 9505; 9570
has a good chance; 11740 has Voz Cristiana and  Taipei English. But at
0200 I continue to hear RRI fairly well on unannounced 11725. That was
first heard UT April 9, pretty good, some fade and a bit of hum at 0200,
but not active there at 0400 when R. Svoboda was on 11725 (Bob Thomas,
CT, April 13, WORLD OF RADIO 986 / GH SHORTWAVE/DX REPORT 99-19, April
22)

RUSSIA- With Radio Yugoslavia now off the air, the Voice of Russia's
special program on the Kosovo situation provides some  interesting
listening. After the news, UT 0111, on 9665. Also heard in the afternoon
at 1711 on 11675. They often include listeners' email as well. (Ivan
Grishin, Ont., April 27, WORLD OF RADIO 987 / GH SHORTWAVE/DX REPORT
99-20, April 29) Daily ?

RUSSIA. At 0300, VOR English -- I usually listen to 9665 and 7125.
Tuning around I cuaght 'em nicely on 17690 and 17630. At 0400: 9665
fair, 7125 best, quite good on 17690 and 17630 (Bob Thomas, CT, Apr 13,
WORLD OF RADIO 986 / GH SHORTWAVE/DX REPORT 99-19, April 22)

SPAIN- Justin Coe interviewed his predecessor, Terry Burgoyne, on REE
Radio Waves April 17. Misunderstanding about the circumstances of his
departure came from his wry wit, he says. It was entirely voluntary, as
he decided to take early retirement at age 62, as there were other
things he wanted to do, instead of waiting until 65. Plans to visit
Vatican Radio soon and hopes to tape interviews for a free-lance piece
on RW. References to being replaced by a younger person were just being
factual (Glenn Hauser, REVIEW OF INTERNATIONAL BROADCASTING / GH
SHORTWAVE/DX REPORT 99-19, April 22)

UKRAINE- According to RUI, station has no budget to pay the electricity
bill; daytime only on 6020, 6130, 11840, 21520 (Wolfang  Bueschel,
Germany, April 22 via Hauser / GH SHORTWAVE/DX REPORT 99-20, April 29)

UKRAINE. I heard Radio Ukraine April 14 on 5905, tuning in around 0045,
and surprised to hear them coming in quite well. (Ivan  Grishin, Ont.,
WORLD OF RADIO 986 / GH SHORTWAVE/DX REPORT 99-19, April 22)

USA- I have decided to remove my Spiritual Awakening show from WWCR. I
had been producing three different versions, and this was too much work.
The WWCR version lacked references to Buddhism and other eastern
religions. Still on RFPI (Sunday 2100, Monday 0500), and on Wisdom Radio
network (James Bean, Maine, April 15, REVIEW OF INTERNATIONAL
BROADCASTING / GH SHORTWAVE/DX REPORT 99-19, April 22)

USA- the AT&T coastal stations WOM, WOO and KMI have returned to the
air, following their planned Feb 28, 1999 permanent shutdown. Apparently
this was by order of the FCC. I monitored 8722 kHz on 9 April at 0859 UT
and heard an announcement pertaining to the reactivation after the
traffic list. AT&T is trying toi "resolve" the situation; until then,
the stations will remain active (Dave Hughes, Kansas City MO, WORLD OF
RADIO 986 / GH SHORTWAVE/DX REPORT 99-19, April 22)

USA- Despite its seemingly strict clock, VOA News Now pre-empted the
1936 scheduled airing of VOA CW-C for a NATO news conference on 15580
Sat Apr 24. Another example of twisted priorities (Hauser, OK / GH
SHORTWAVE/DX REPORT 99-20, April 29)

USA- WBCQ news from Al Weiner Worldwide, 0000 UT Sat April 24: starting
next week will be a new show, Out of Babylon, Fridays 4-5 pm EDT, then
Jean Shepherd at 5. Al was originating from Kennebunk whilst Randi
Steele was operating the WBCQ site, and she was accused of interrupting
Brother Stair to play "If I only had a brain". She then called in to say
that Stair was not interrupted, but had a one-minute hole to fill, so
she grabbed that fill music cart, preceded and followed by WBCQ ID. But
ultimatumly, Randi added "I will not put hate speech on the air, and the
minute WBCQ's hate-speech policy is gone, so am I" (Glenn Hauser, REVIEW
OF INTERNATIONAL BROADCASTING / GH SHORTWAVE/DX REPORT 99-20, April 29)

USA- Glen, Just got finished listening to WBCQ. Had tuned in to hear the
Communications World rebroadcast. They only had about eleven minutes of
CW due to satellite problems. Randi Steele said that two of the three
uplinks were down. She had worked on them last night, but the high winds
tore out her patch. Since she had airtime to kill, she told us that she
had quit her job at WBCQ. She said she  would be there another
thirty-six hours in order for someone to come and replace her. She said
that Allan had asked her to draft a  hatespeech policy and if he liked
it, he would endorse it. She said she did draft the policy and that
Allan announced it on the air.   Sometime after the announcement she
said that Allan talked to one R.G. Stair and that after that
conversation Allan called her and told her that the hatespeech policy
was nothing but a "Manifesto of Censorship" and that they would not be
implementing it. He also said that Stair's broadcasts would continue on
WBCQ. Randi quit on the spot. She then opened the phone lines as she had
thirteen minutes left in the CW slot and wanted some feedback about her
announcement. No one called. She played some music to fill the time. She
said that the rest of the day's programming would go on as scheduled..
She said she didn't know what she would do when she got back to New
York, but that, under the circumstances, she couldn't stay at the
station. That's all I have. (John H. Carver Jr., Mid-North Indiana,
April 25, REVIEW OF INTERNATIONAL BROADCASTING / GH SHORTWAVE/DX REPORT
99-20, April 29)

USA- Roused at 0940 Sunday April 25 to find WBCQ 7415 still on way past
supposed 0800* still with Tom & Darrel Show, and callers offering
vintage airchecks of New York and Chicago stations. After T&D played a
WBCQ ID, pulled the plug unceremoniously at 0958*  T&D  must be the most
informal show; I also heard them opening at 0500; they keep discussing
what would be behind-the-scenes stuff anywhere else, like feeding WBCQ
by phoneline instead of satellite; there is no cough-switch, or it's
unused as one of them coughs  frequently on the air. By
"unceremoniously" I mean no goodbye, let alone a formal sign-off
anouncement. Since no one else does it, I  would like to hear WBCQ
playing the Star Spangled Banner (in multiple renditions) every time it
signs on and off (Glenn Hauser, REVIEW OF INTERNATIONAL BROADCASTING /
GH SHORTWAVE/DX REPORT 99-20, April 29)

USA- Subject: NW antenna. Glenn -- We have posted an updated schedule on
our web site indicating that the NA antenna operates from 0230 to
sign-off daily. (Jeff White, WRMI, April 22 via Hauser / GH SHORTWAVE/DX
REPORT 99-20, April 29) (See CZECH REP )

USA- Noticed WHRI 13760 at 1840 April 24 with operatic music co-channel;
1859 ID claiming "now broadcasting on 5755" which  they never really do
at this time of day, and 1900 R. Pyongyang IS, Spanish ID. The
subaudible hetrodyne between them varies from  about 5 to 15 Hz every
few seconds; the instability likely Pyongyang's fault (Glenn Hauser, OK
/ GH SHORTWAVE/DX REPORT 99-20, April 29)

VENEZUELA- On 28th April at 2315 and 9639.88 I heard with fine signal
Ecos del Torbes from Venezuela, Id and commercials, no trace of them on
4980 at above time! ( Vos, The Netherlands)

VIETNAM- [non]. VoV in English to NAm via Armavir, Russia: 0300-0357 on
new 9830 (55555), 500 kW, 290 degrees (PanIview,  Bulgaria, April 18 via
Hauser)

YUGOSLAVIA-  Glenn, I was monitoring the nightly propaganda from
Belgrade on 9580 kHz last night, midnight UT (23 APR). At  0006 the
audio feed to the transmitter site was suddenly replaced by loud white
noise, so loud the overmodulation covered 9575 to 9585. About five
minutes later the transmitter went off the air and was not heard again.
BBC WS reported on their 0100 news that the TV  center had been bombed
and Belgrade TV was off the air. There were pictures on our TV this
morning, and reports of 9 dead in the  building. It will be interesting
to see when the SW comes back up and if there are new voices on the air!
73 de (John Cobb, GA, April 23, REVIEW OF INTERNATIONAL BROADCASTING /
GH SHORTWAVE/DX REPORT 99-20, April 29)

YUGOSLAVIA- Following a tip from Chris Hambly about the TV station
bombing, I checked 9580 at 0430 UT Fri April 23 and found  no trace of a
RY signal, not even carrier, nor subsequently. Evidently John was
listening at the precise moment of the bombing, per later reports.
Naturally, the US media never mentioned that the insignificant SW R.
Yugoslavia was knocked off, just the RTS TV station. As far as we know,
the RY studios elsewhere were not hit, nor was the Bijeljina, Bosnia
transmitter site; just the link between them through the RTS building
(Glenn Hauser, WORLD OF RADIO 987 / GH SHORTWAVE/DX REPORT 99-20, April
29)
