WORLD OF RADIO 1398 SUMMARY:
*DST begins March 9, and World of Radio times from US stations shift
one UT hour earlier [except ACB Radio webcasts], including SW: WWCR:
Thu 2030 15825, Sat 1630 12160, Sun 0230 5070, 0630 3215. WBCQ: Thu
2330 7415, Fri 2230 5110, Mon 0300 9330, Mon 0415 7415. For WRMI see
grid in ET at http://www.wrmi.net
*Wall Street Journal reports on study showing DST wastes energy rather
than saves it http://online.wsj.com/article/SB120406767043794825.html
*Citadel group fires lots of broadcasters including John Gambling at
WABC; entire news staff of WLS. Blame CEO Farid Suleman, says Robert
Feder
*KM2XVL on air from Huntsville TX, 1220 kHz, 170 watts day, 11 watts
night, nondirexional; experimental license, but for what? Prison?
*WSPY, Geneva IL, heard on 4440 = 3 x 1480
*RFE/RL president wants to expand `surrogate` broadcasting to Africa,
the one area US is successfully covering with a single service, VOA,
says Kim Elliott
*VOA adds morning show in Amharic, M-F 0300-0330 on 7220, 9730, 13605;
jammed too?
*Article on the history of the Delano station; connexions with Dr
Brinkley`s XER, and the first atomic bomb explosion:
http://radioworld.com/pages/s.0106/t.11328.html
*Special DRM transmissions for the SWL Winter Fest, March 5-8, from
Ecuador, Guiana French, Vatican
*Radio Habana on unlisted new 11680 in Spanish at least during the
0000 UT hour, ex-11875
*Pastor Melissa Scott starts $5 million fundraiser for Caribbean
Beacon, Anguilla, needing repairs; may dispose of Costa Rican relay
*Timesignals heard on 5100 are spurs from YVTO, Venezuela, 5000
*Latin American on 5014.3 is the rarely active Radio Altura, Perú
*Argentina`s Japanese service at 0900-1100 on 11710 is aimed at
Washington, not Tokyo; but almost antipodal. Rated as very difficult
to hear in Japan [soon reverting to 1000-1200]
*The media magazine you monitor with your mind, World of Radio 1398
*Thanks this week for financial support from Rod Scribner, KA1RFD, in
memory of Rocky, with a check in the mail to P O Box 1684, Enid OK
73702
*BBCWS downgrading its Spanish service, cancelling programs, and only
keeping online news from April; hard to understand this attitude
toward Spanish, a major world language. Comments to chief of LA
service, julia.zapata @ bbc.co.uk Is it still on at 11-12 on 6095,
13760?
*Bush House staff have mistaken impression that all the US affiliates
relay BBCWS 24/7 rather than only overnight or a few hours a day;
could account for hurry to abolish SW
*BBC heard on 7260 March 1 only between 0000 and 0100 with 30-second
loop claiming it is a satellite channel with no programming available
*Radio France International changed English frequencies March 2,
including at 1600-1700 to 15605 better than 11615
*VRT Belgium to close all MW frequencies except 927
*KBS World Radio, South Korea, now in German via Luxembourg 1440 at
1730-1800
*Poland`s Multimedia show hints cryptically shortwave may close there
too
*KBC Radio via Lithuania on new 6055 adjusted half an hour later to
avoid interference, 2200-2300
*Romania now in DRM via Norway 1800-1830 on 6155-6160-6165; interferes
with Austria 6155
*Voice of Turkey heard via longpath in Oklahoma at 1457 on 6175
*Family Radio via Samara, Russia heard via longpath in Oklahoma at
1400 on 6020
*Israel Radio announces SW will be terminated at end of March; then
listen via new website. Maybe it will really happen this time?
*NHK will end relays via Sri Lanka, Gabon, French Guiana at end of
March but still on lots of other relays
*Haiku segment on World Interactive, monthly on Saturdays, said its
last appearance was March 1
*Yet another clandestine for North Korea, Voice of Freedom, starting
March 8; could be at 14-15 on 9970 via Armenia, tested in February
*Radio Free Asia and VOA Korean services add MW 1350 kHz from secret
site, but all the evidence points to Ulan Bator, Mongolia, 1800 km
from Pyongyang; also on MW 648 from much closer FE Russia
*V. of Mongolia schedule may show English at 1530 on 12085, but
nothing there when monitored in Europe, New Zealand
*Music test on 11995 from CVC Darwin, Australia site at 1430, for JCI,
Japan Center for Intercultural Communications; more clandestine
coming for Korea?
*Weak signal heard in Texas on 7325 at 1330 may be Wantok Radio Light,
Papua New Guinea, supposedly closing at 1300, rather than listed
India, believed inactive. But from March 9, RCI Sackville moves from
7310 to 7325 at 1105-1405
*Barry Seeber, host of former communications program Talkback on Radio
Australia, has died of cancer at 65
