More information in Russian on the website of the Museum of Cryptography https://cryptography-museum.ru/ (Ruslan Slavutskiy, Moskovskaya oblast, Russia) - Fragment of an article from the VK page of the Museum of Cryptography in Moscow. ------------------------------------------ Radio amateurs against spies Everyone knows the story of the Enigma hack in Bletchley Park, but it's hardly obvious that all messages got there thanks to radio interception. After all, the messages encrypted by "Enigma" were sent by radio. To intercept so many messages, radio intelligence needed to deploy a radio intercept network throughout the East Coast of the British Archipelago. However, where to get so many radio stations. MI8, the British radio intelligence service, guessed that such a network actually already existed. The scouts decided to contact the president of the British Society of Radio Amateurs (RSBG), Arthur Watts. Watts himself served in Room 40 (the cryptographic department of the British Navy's Admiralty) during World War I, and was well aware of the importance of such work. He managed to mobilize volunteer radio amateurs throughout the UK for MI8. At its peak, the Mi-8 staff consisted of more than 1,500 people, most of them radio amateurs. The service was engaged in intercepting enemy communications, detecting and eliminating illegal radio stations in Britain. Many of the intercepted messages were encrypted with the Enigma and other encryption machines, and Mi-8 redirected them to Bletchley Park to decrypt them. Within three months after the beginning of the cooperation of the society of radio amateurs with MI-8, it was possible to identify more than 600 transmitters and completely eliminate the network of German agents in Britain. Many agents were recruited for the radio game, that is, they continued to keep in touch with Germany, but transmitted deliberately false information prepared by British intelligence.

According to two full hours are booked for English. 0200-0300 UT 15515 kHz (DUS 100 kW, 125 degr azimuth) 1400-1500 UT 15515 kHz (DUS 100 kW, 125 degr azimuth) Currently these are used for an audio version of a TV series "Unlocking Bible prophecies", but on 31 July and 1 August 2021 it was noted that the transmission at 1400 UT ends at 1430 UT in mid-programme. The transmission at 0200 UT was broadcast in full length on 1 August. If AWR only booked half an hour for the second broadcast, the frequency management should be made aware of the problem. If 60 minutes are paid for, there should be a refund. (Dr. Hansjoerg Biener-AUT, wor Aug 1) Weil ich gerade an einem AWR-Jubilaeumsartikel fuer Oktober sitze, sollte ich Dir aus dem tatsaechlichen Hoeren einen Hinweis zu Wavescan geben. Bei den meisten Sendesprachen ist die taegliche Ausstrahlung die Regel. Es gibt aber auch, wie in der Anfangszeit, Sendesprachen mit Ausstrahlungen nur an einzelnen Wochentagen. Insgesamt hoert man in den Sendungen eine grosse Spannbreite zwischen Magazin und Monolog. Was vor allem auffiel, war die mehrheitlich einheimisch klingende Musik. Englisch, das noch zur AWR-QSL verhelfen koennte, spielt im Gesamtsendeplan keine grosse Rolle. Bei der Zusammenstellung dieses Artikels wurden zwei verschiedene Sendestrecken beobachtet. Die Sendungen aus Tadschikistan aus Duschanbe relay brachten die Audio- adaption eines adventistischen Fernsehprogramms aus den USA: 02.00-03.00 Uhr: 15515 kHz (DUS 100 kW, 125 degr) TV-Programm, ggfs. noch indische religioese Musik 14.00-15.00 Uhr: 15515 kHz (DUS 100 kW, 125 degr) TV-Programm Allerdings wurde die zweite Sendung Ende Juli/Anfang August nur bis 14.30 Uhr UT beobachtet, so dass Unlocking Bible Prophecies von der AWR- Vizepraesidentin Cami Oetman mitten in der Sendung abbrach. AWR und Media Broadcast wurden darueber informiert und aenderten das dann. Auf den 30-Minuten-Sendeplaetzen kommt ein im indischen Pune (Maharasch- tra) zusammengestelltes Magazin-Programm bzw. sonntags das DX-Programm Wavescan: 15.30-16.00 hrs UT: 15670 kHz (NAU 250 kW, 80 degr), ausser Do Fr 16.00-16.30 hrs UT: 9490 kHz (ERV 300 kW, 125 degr) deutlich nach 15605 kHz (MDC 250 kW, 45 degr) Zum Einsatz kommen Standorte in Armenien (Gavar), Deutschland (Nauen) und auf Madagaskar (Talata Volonondry). (Dr. Hansjoerg Biener-D, via wwdxc BC-DX TopNews Aug 4) TAJIKISTAN In late July 2021 and the early days of August the AWR broad- cast at 1400 UT stopped early at 1430 UT. The problem reported here and to Media Broadcast and Adventist World Radio has been fixed. Today the audio version of a US TV programme was broadcast at full length of 50 minutes. The rest of the time was filled with religious songs in unrecognised language. At 1459 UT the broadcast ended with the ID in English, French, German and Italian formerly used for AWR Forli. (Dr. Hansjoerg Biener-D, wor Aug 4) re TJK: AWR anomaly. Sounds to me as if the file for playout is prepared either in Germany or in Italy. Here is a piece from 1998 of which one can probably make something also when not understanding German. A staged rummage in the archive, also show- ing how back then it was in media circles still a common skill to put a tape on the machine. Also a glimpse of their first TV facilities, and comments how badly crammed and in fact unbearable this old seat at Darmstadt had become.

QSL CARDS AND RECEPTION REPORTS. I hope DXers wont take offense over this post. I QSL receprion reports for SLBC. Without going into a big harang I like to mention a few poits. 1.Today with remote receivers I can check our broadcasts all over the world so even before a report arrives I have checked reception. 2. There is no need for reception reports. You are not doing the station a favour in todays world unlike pre internet years. As such we answer BECAUSE you have listened to us even though the broadcast was not meant for a DXer in Germany or S.America. So from that situation comes the following: a. Let the report be as soon as possible after reception. b. A proper report, not make it obvious that you have cared to listen just for a few minutes of a 1hour 30 minute broadcast to get a QSL card. Be reasonable and dignified. c. Program details, enough to make the station identify its their broadcast. Maybe a 15 or 20 second audio clip..no more than that. d. Finally your report is as good as your honesty. You can easily cheat like some do, by listening on the interrnet or through a remote receiver and not indicate as such and pretend you listened via the air SW or MW. and also post the QSL on varius pages. I check if its propagationally possible or not. If I have a doubt I will double check with the reporter or just blacklist him/her. Todaay I got a report for December 2020 from Germany for our 1630--1800 broadcast when he can easily pick up our broadcast daily. So I ask him to send me a more recnt reoort and he sends me a report for 8th of August. what does it show? He hasnt cared to even check his report and today is the 5th of August. So please respect our hobby, keep standards if you want our hobby to continue. Keep the dignity that those before us made sure when they handed down a beautiful hobby. "Beauty took from those who loved them in other days" (Walter de la Mare} Source: FB WRTH / Victor Goonetilleke (KB) - Sri Lanka BC is perfectly audible in St. Petersburg on 11750 kHz-the transmitter works from 17.00 to 18.00 UTC (received on August 4 and 5), switching on and off without announcing the station ID. In the latest issue of the DX Fanzine newsletter Nr. 95, there is a message about receiving an eQSL in one day victor.broadcaster @ gmail.com (KB) - The correct address is: victorg.broadcaster @ gmail.com (PI) * TEXAS RADIO SHORTWAVE EQSL POLICY (Effective May 18, 2021) Please read this document carefully. It spells out the requirements to receive a TRSW eQSL. 1) TRSW WILL NOT issue a verification for the same program via the same station. TRSW will not issue eQSLs to the same listener for reports on the same program via the same station on different frequencies and different dates. This means a listener will receive ONE eQSL for a program regardless of how many frequencies and dates they hear the program on a station. In special situations such as tests, TRSW may waive this policy. If that happens listeners will be informed prior to those situations. 2) Reports MUST be in English, contain details on at least 20 minutes of listening, and include comments on programs. Reports must be in the English language. If the listener's first language is not English, Google Translate or another program should be used to translate the report into English. Reports must cover a minimum of 20 minutes of listening. Exceptions may be made for listeners hearing a Texas Radio Shortwave program on their own receiver at a location far enough away that hearing TRSW would be considered DX. Listeners must include written details such as song titles and the time songs were played, approximate text of announcements and times, a signal quality report (SIO or SINPO), and the listener's receiver and antenna. If the listener used a remote receiver (KiwiSDR or WebSDR) that fact and the receiver's location must be mentioned. We want to know why you are listening. Listeners must include thoughtful comments about the program content. "I liked the music" isn't good enough. Why did you like the music? Why didn't you like the music? What type of music would you rather we play? Do you have a song or an artist request? Audio clips are not a substitute for a written report as described above. The clips are a way to let us hear what how our signal sounded, as a signal quality report cannot adequately convey that information. The only format audio clips that will be accepted are .mp3 and .wav. Video clips will not be accepted. Song titles must be identified using a program such as Shazam or Soundhound. If those programs are not available, listeners must include enough of a song's lyrics that the songs can be identified. 3) Attached is a reception report worksheet that can be copied and pasted into an email for reporting. Following that is a sample of an acceptable reception report. 4) Questions about this policy should be sent to texasradiosw@gmail.com. 5) This document was modified on July 7, 2021 (AK) CALENDAR-HISTORY OF DX-HOBBIES, RADIO AND MAIL ============================================= WORLD NEWS. ============ * The History of Pirate Radio: Britain and Israel. -------------------------------------- Posted on July 30, 2021 Rebel Ships: Radio Caroline and the Voice of Peace Al Jazeera (2021) In detail: https://stuartbramhall.wordpress.com/2021/07/30/the-history-of-pirate-radio-britain-and- israel/?fbclid=IwAR1Rakh3orr2njM7T9EzjaRIZbj8LC9BD5srqeDmAS8AojVExmi9TCSonhQ (https://www.facebook.com/groups/1474899382735615) * Germany.

The Mongolian National Public Radio and Television (MUONRT) has published a report on its activities for 2020. It contains information about the work of the external broadcasting structure "Mongolian duu Hooloi" ("Voice of Mongolia" / Voice of Mongolia). So over the past year, a total of 1,680 hours of broadcast were accumulated by the Mongolian foreign broadcasting (784 hours of the original broadcast and 896 hours of repeats, taking into account the pandemic year). In 2020, The Voice of Mongolia received 1,630 letters from listeners from 35 countries. This is 34% less than a year earlier. The audience from Japan was the most active. This country had the most letters and questions to the Japanese editorial office. The Chinese-language broadcasting service paid great attention to communicating with listeners, the report notes. The dialogue with the audience is conducted, in particular, in Wechat and through the "VOM China Broadcasting Listeners Group". In 2020, English-speaking listeners were given the opportunity to follow the Voice of Mongolia broadcasts broadcast via a shortwave transmitter in Germany. The management of the MUONRT noted that the decision to broadcast through Germany was made to increase the number of listeners in Europe. There is no information about the broadcasting service in Russian in the report. Let me remind you that the Voice of Mongolia puts programs for the Russian-speaking audience on its website http://www.vom.mn/ru Voice of Mongolia broadcasts on short waves in Mongolian, English, Japanese and Chinese daily. The operating frequencies are 12.085 and 12.015 kHz and additionally 6005 kHz (in English via Shortwaveservice, Kall-Krekel).
