Aus Zeitmangel weiss ich nicht was sich heute Morgen auf 9525 und 11530/11540 kHz abspielte. Soeben um 07.45 UT stand nur ein leerer Träger auf 11530 kHz, und auf 11540 kHz- wahrscheinlich - das Denge Welat Program in West Europa, GRC und Doha Qatar unbeleckt, starkes klares Signal aus Grigoriopol Pridnestrovie aufzunehmen.

Bei Mauno in Finnland auf 11540 kHz nur der Kurde 'Denge Welat' aus Grigoriopol auf der Kanalschwingung, kein türkisches Jamming aufzunehmen, um 1557 UT, und der livestream von http://37.187.140.96:8000/;stream.mp3 ist 9 Sekunden !später! dran, als die Kurzwelle im 25 mb zu hören gibt, all das über das Perseus Server Angebot in West Europa am 21.

So indeed Emirler followed Denge Welat, thus their intention is not to take over the established frequency and its Kurdish audience but merely to jam Denge Welat. Meanwhile also the routing for this "special broadcast" has been found: http://en.digitalbitrate.com/dtv.php?mux=11096&pid=28&live=89&sec=0&lang=en The ID of this channel indicates that it was the feed for the Arabic broadcasts on 630 and 1062 kHz, which apparently have been discontinued recently. So TRT is really deeply involved in this jamming operation (Kai Ludwig, 2020 UT Oct 21, DXLD) Now, at 0650 UT: Both the Grigoriopol broadcast and the Emirler jamming are back on 11530. Must have been decided yesterday and makes me really wonder what may go on behind the scenes here (Kai Ludwig, Oct 22, ibid.)

Best I can do, but there has been heavy discussion on the WOR iog by those further east: Dengê Welat, the PKK clandestine transmitted from France or Pridnestrovye, has shifted from 11530 to 11540, after Turkey usurped 11530 with some kind of anti-PKK clandestine, while also jamming 11540.

The audio of this other transmission sounds like Emirler transmissions typically do (no high-pass filtering, no hard multiband compression), and the frequency deviations are typical as well. Thus there should be little doubt about Emirler being the origin of this RF signal. Next question is, of course, about the program audio TRT puts on these war transmissions. A quick, first impression is that it is indeed heavy war propaganda. So the next steps would be, of course, to work out the ID this program uses (do they operate it in "clandestine station" style?) and to determine if it goes out anywhere else, too (like on Turksat satellites). [later:] The Emirler transmission on 11530 kHz is a loop of 30 minutes and a few seconds, with no obvious station/program name being noted so far. A detailed monitoring report is here [in German]: https://www.radioeins.de/programm/sendungen/medienmagazin/radio_news/beitraege/2014/denge_kurdistane.html So in all likelihood no other distribution platforms are in use for this, ahem, audio product. Still it could be worth to check if this program audio is on Türksat, which could be the case if TRT has terminated the terrestrial circuits to Emirler and this loop is not played out locally. The evening transmission of Dengê Welat via Issoudun has been moved to 11540 kHz, too. So what remains to be determined is what they do with the 31 metres morning slot.

The recent past and present. Radio observers and listeners are familiar with this mid-wave frequency. For several years Radio Liberty and several other stations (Poland, Japan) have been broadcasting here from the Lithuanian repeater. A couple of years ago the transmitter was changed. If previously the Sitkunai (Kaunas) radio center was used for broadcasts, now broadcasts are being conducted from Vesynthos. To update the transmission equipment, a modern 200 kilowatt transmitter was sent to Lithuania. It is likely that it was impossible to maintain a radio center in Sitkunai, where the majority of Soviet-made transmitting equipment (SV), although there were transmitters there that outperformed even new equipment in Vesynthos. Considering that Freedom and Poland and Japan were the only customers, the center's work incurred losses and was probably not covered by payment from customers. Since May 1, 2019, the Belarusian Freedom Service has gone on air and the schedule of transmissions from the repeater has been adjusted. In particular, the Russian Freedom service began broadcasting 21-24 MST, and not most of them at night, as it was before. This is more rational, because the potential audience of Freedom is sleeping at night. However, from May to September, receiving transmissions from Lithuania's transponder is problematic. Since daylight hours are long, the signal is unstable or completely absent. This is especially painful for Poland and Japan. It is much more logical, at least in the summer, to broadcast the above programs in the short-wave range. This is of course if we are talking about Poland and Freedom. Japan broadcasts quite aptly on KV and relaying from Lithuania is a kind of "supplement" for potential listeners of the Baltic states, Ukraine, Belarus and, ultimately, Russia. In the morning, the broadcast in Russian is also broadcast from Germany (Nauen) at a frequency of 6165 kHz. Direction: Russia. Of course, in the summertime, and with this frequency there are problems, however less noticeable than the Japanese transmission at a frequency of 1386 kHz. Next, you are offered a historical background on broadcasting at a frequency of 1386 kHz and a dispute between Lithuania and Russia over the right to broadcast on it. Posted by Sigitas Zhilionis, Lithuania. Taken from here: http://www.zilionis.lt/history/1386-r.htm (For users of the Russian Federation blocking of material is possible. Use bypass means) P.S. I could not find information whether Lithuania eventually broadcast on 1386 kHz itself, or acted and is acting only as a relay of programs of third-party companies. In March 2002, the Vilnius radio company International Radio Baltic Waves received a license to use the average wavelength of 1386 kHz for broadcasting with a radiated power of 32.1 dBkW (1622 kW). However, the same frequency is also used by the powerful station in Bolshakov, Kaliningrad Region, to broadcast the Voice of Russia broadcasts in German and English for listeners in Western Europe. Many hams and professionals are asking questions about such an obvious clash on the air. How so? What is it? To answer this, you should look into the story. In the Swiss city of Lausanne, at a preparatory meeting for the Washington Radio Conference in 1927, a broadcast wave of 219 meters was allocated to the Kovno, Lithuania station (Kovno is now Kaunas). Internationally, often in 1939 Montreux this channel is destined for the Memel, Germany station (Memel is the current Klaipeda, a city in western Lithuania). In the post-war frequency distribution plan adopted in Copenhagen in 1948, this channel is again listed behind the Kaunas, Lithuanian SSR station. After a couple of years, the construction of a broadcasting station in Sitkunai (18 km from Kaunas) is finally completed, and it begins broadcasting on the frequency allocated to it. However, somewhere between 1953 and 1972, the Sitkunai station leaves this channel. Later, in 1974, a powerful station was built in the village. Bolshakovo of the Kaliningrad region, and is launched on the Lithuanian frequency. This new station is located 140 km from Kaunas. From a legal point of view, the transfer of the station to more than 30 km from the place registered in international plans should be coordinated with other European countries. However, Moscow did not bother to comply with the signed international agreements, and did not even inform anyone about the transfer of the station. In 1978, a new frequency distribution plan for the European continent, the Geneva Plan, entered into force. In it, Moscow again confirms the assignment of a frequency of 1386 kHz to the Lithuanian station Kaunas. And finally, in 1991, after the separation of Lithuania from the USSR, the ministries of communications of Lithuania and the USSR signed a separation of functions protocol, in which Moscow declares that it recognizes frequency assignments in Lithuania. Alas, in fact, everything looked different. Russia not only did not release the frequency of 1386 kHz, but worked on it with increased power. Instead of the 1000-kilowatt transmitter authorized by the Geneva agreement, a 2500-kW transmitter worked. Instead of an omnidirectional single-mast antenna with a gain of 2.1 dB, permitted by the Geneva agreement, an antenna "CB 4 + 4" (2 rows of 4 masts) with a gain of 12.7 dB was installed. In total, this combination gives the radiated power twenty-nine times the power allowed by international agreements. In the fall of 2001, the Lithuanian communications authorities appealed to their Russian colleagues to stop illegal broadcasting. This was done because Lithuania intended to launch its own station on this channel, in accordance with the Geneva plan. Russia's response, however, had no intention of stopping the work; they even demanded that Lithuania delete the 1386 kHz frequency from the Main Frequency Register of the International Telecommunication Union. Currently, in the middle of May 2002, work is ongoing in Lithuania to launch a station in Sitkunai at a frequency of 1386 kHz with a power of 750 kW at night and 250 kW at daytime. It is expected that the station will be ready in June 2002, after which trial broadcasts will be conducted to determine the reception area and the real level of interference from the Russian transmitter. At present, Bolshakovo station operates between 0900 and 2100 GMT with an 8-mast antenna and an estimated power of 1200 kilowatts. By the way, almost the same situation exists at another medium-wave frequency used by the Bolshakov superstation - 1215 kHz. The parameters are identical with 1386 kHz: a transmitter with a power of 1200/2500 kW and an antenna "CB 4 + 4". Agreed by international agreements? No way! The Geneva plan lists Orissare, Estonia, 30 kW. Appendix 1.

Subsequent Events. 05/31/2002 Radio Baltic Waves (RBV) received a letter from an employee of the Center for Radio Communication and Radio Broadcasting No. 2 (TsRR-2 - the enterprise that owns the Bolshakovo radio transmission station). In it, he demanded that the RBV "release" the frequency of 1386 kHz. He also expressed the opinion that the TsRR-2 should jam not only RBW test transmissions at a given frequency, but also regular transmissions at a frequency of 612 kHz, and even the frequency of 9710 kHz, which is used by Lithuanian Radio. In the end, he added that he would do everything in his power to disrupt the RBV plans. On 07/07/2002, in his second message, the same employee of TsRR-2 specified his actions: "if we can not jam your test transmissions officially, then I will personally try to rent our 1386 kHz transmitter for the duration of your test transmissions to jam them." 07/03/2002 it was noticed that TsRR-2 turns off the transmitter at a frequency of 1386 kHz not at 21:00, as usual, but at 22:00 GMT; An additional hour of broadcasting consists of programs from the Moscow radio program Sodruzhestvo. Since the RBV intended to broadcast even after the end of the Russian program (in order to avoid mutual interference), the extension of this program itself is essentially the embodiment of threats to "disrupt the RBV plans". Russia responded to the appeal of the Lithuanian side to stop illegal actions on the air by expanding such actions, thereby demonstrating its attitude to the small neighboring countries. 26-27.05.2003 Talks in Vilnius between representatives of the communications administrations of Lithuania and Russia. No results. September 9-10, 2003 Another round of negotiations in Vilnius. The Russian side agreed to gradually curtail broadcasting at a disputed frequency and release it before the end of 2007. 11/01/2007 the Russian station in Bolshakov stopped broadcasting at a frequency of 1386 kHz. The conflict is settled. Andrey Molokov, St. Petersburg, Russia / https://vk.com/club158109176 (via Rus-DX 20 Oct via DXLD) ** RUSSIA. Far East and Eastern Siberia.

AWR - four identical cards for different frequencies. It is unfortunate that AWR no longer makes various cards. I remember there were stereo cards, on wooden veneers, etc. 2. From the Spanish service IRIB QSL card, stickers and stand (?). The German service promised to send QSL, but has not yet received it. Both packages were brazenly opened either by the postal service or the "big brother". No diamonds were found, and the cards are of little interest to them. (PI) CALENDAR - HISTORY OF DX-HOBBY AND RADIO ========================================= 1988 ------- Archive. Anatoly Klepov. Moscow. Russia. QSL-letter. Latvia, Riga. Radio station of Riga Airport. Blog: https://rusdx.blogspot.com/2019/11/blog-post_28.html WORLD NEWS. ============= * FCC approves HD Radio on AM Band --------------------------------------------- The Federal Communications Commission likes the idea of giving U.S. stations on the AM band an option to turn off their analog transmissions and instead use only HD Radio. It recently said it would consider a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking recommending that change. Now the commission has officially done so. The vote was unanimous, though at least one commissioner expressed concerns over the details of technical standards. While the decision to issue the NPRM is not surprising, given the announcement of a couple of weeks ago, the vote seems to mark a significant advance toward an outcome where AM owners would have the digital choice. Only one U.S. radio station, owned by Hubbard Radio, operates full-time in all-digital, and does so under special temporary authority. Advocates think having an all-digital option would be a boon to AM stations, many of which are troubled by economic challenges, band noise and lack of listener interest. Some see it as a logical addition to the AM revitalization effort, bringing benefits like metadata displays that most AM stations currently don't have, in addition to better sound quality. And some observers, if fewer in number, wonder whether widespread migration to all-digital could substantially revitalize the AM band someday, making it prime spectrum real estate again. Anecdotally, some critics have worried that a change that would make most existing receivers unable to hear a given radio station is premature, and/or they have voiced worries over the interference implications. That's a touchy subject, given HD Radio's less than stellar reputation among AM engineers, dating to the early days of putting hybrid digital on AM. The NPRM process should give more insight into what opposition may exist, if any, and from whom. It should tell us more about how AM owners themselves, big and small, come down on the idea. "Many AM stations experience interference from electronic devices and other sources that affects audio quality," the FCC stated in its announcement. "All-digital broadcasting offers AM broadcasters the potential to improve their signal quality and area of listenable coverage, as well as offer additional services that FM broadcasters currently offer, such as song and artist identification. It also holds the potential to allow AM stations to increase their programming options to include music formats." In the NPRM the FCC also proposes establishing operating parameters for all-digital stations, to minimize risk of interference; and it proposed adopting what it called the "industry-approved standard" for hybrid and all-digital broadcasting, meaning HD Radio. [Read: Downs Hails FCC Announcement on All-Digital] The National Association of Broadcasters applauded the move and said in its statement that "many" AM broadcasters are exploring the potential benefits. Commissioner Michael O'Rielly has been particularly involved in issues involving the radio industry. Reacting to the vote, O'Rielly noted that he'd participated in a Texas Association of Broadcasters event with Bryan Broadcasting Corp.'s Ben Downs, an ardent supporter of AM revitalization and the person who petitioned the FCC to get going on this topic earlier this year. "Assuming this item goes to final order, it remains to be seen whether digital AM signals will ever catch on with manufacturers, and more importantly, listeners, or serve as a significant factor in the band's revitalization," O'Rielly wrote after the vote. "But our record clearly demonstrates that many in the industry would very much like to at least have a chance to test this approach, without having to obtain an experimental license. We need to give them that opportunity." O'Rielly did sound a note of caution. "When it comes to adopting specific technical standards, I do continue to have serious reservations regarding this approach, as the commission also adopted specific standards in the early 2000s. That said, on this and other questions, I will follow the comments received closely and look forward to seeing whether the option to transition to all-digital modes does, in fact, allow stations to have a greater and more effective reach among the listening public." https://www.radioworld.com/tech-and-gear/digital-radio/fcc-officially-proposes-to-allow-all-digital-on-u-s-am-band/ ("worlddx") * The TOP DX Radioclub invites you to the annual --------------------------------------------------------------- TOP 10 DX OF THE YEAR broadcast swl contest.
