ALGERIA 6297 Polisario Front, Rabouni, near Tindouf, ALG, has been
regular here, but the tx is often "stuck" with an empty carrier, or then
it's off, or carries nothing but the sort of noise sound that seems to be
their "IS" prior to the start of the prgr. Whenever there is no audio, or
noise is what's heard, then their current // of 700 kHz MF exibits the
same; this less known fq is being used since 01 Aug'10. Their other
outlet, 1550 kHz MF, is still off.

CHINA/TINIAN BC-Stoerer 21410 kHz. Ich moechte eine Intruder-Meldung
abgeben:
Um 0420 UT stellte ich auf 21410 kHz ein Mischprodukt zweier chinesischer
Rundfunksender auf 21550 und 21690 kHz fest. Beide Sender haben den
gleichen Modulationsinhalt (Sprache/Musik chinesisch). Das zugehoerige
weitere IM3-Produkt befindet sich auf 21830 kHz. Beide Stoerprodukte haben
einen Abstand von ca. 40dBc zu den Nutzsignalen.
(Hans, DL8MCG, Aug 25)
Ich werde in den naechsten Tagen ebenfalls die QRG 21410 kHz beobachten.
Mal sehen, ob das Sender-IM3 wieder kommt. Ich schaue einfach nach den
beiden QRGs 21550 und 21690, ob sie da sind ... Rein rechnerisch ist bei
den beiden QRGs 21550 und 21690 kHz diese IM3 moeglich:
21550 x2 = 43100 minus 21690 = 21410 kHz.
(Uli, DJ9KR Aug 25 <www.iarums-r1.org> <www.iaru-r1.org> )
Das sind die chinesischen Stoersender, mit einem Wort-Jammingprogramm
gegen US Radio Free Asia Station in Mandarin um 0300-0600 UTC. Gegenstand
des Jammings sind die RFA Sender aus Tinian - Mariana Islands im Pazifik.
Das fuers Jamming benutzte Programm ist ein chines. Inlandsdienst-Domestic
Programm.
21830 und 21410 kHz sind symmetrische Intermodulationen vom gleichen
Standort, wie Uli korrekt berechnete.

GUAM TWR Guam Transmitter Replacement Project.
Since 1977, God has blessed the Asia region with lasting fruit because of
TWR's broadcasts from the island of Guam. Thirty-three years later, TWR-
Guam is still utilizing the same four, 100-kilowatt shortwave
transmitters. This equipment has far exceeded our expectations, but it has
become apparent that we need to take immediate action to ensure that Asia
continues to be adequately blanketed with the truth of the gospel.
Normally, new 100-kilowatt shortwave transmitters carry a price tag of
over $1 million each. Amazingly, the Lord has opened up an opportunity for
us to obtain and install two used, but recently updated, top-of-the-line,
250-kilowatt transmitters for just under $690,000! Believe it or not, this
price includes shipment to Guam and all of the required building
modifications necessary to install these transmitters!
In the interest of stewardship, TWR wants to raise the needed funds before
we begin the process of putting these powerful transmitters into service.
The installation process is a lengthy one. Our goal is to begin by
November of 2010 and the project is estimated to take roughly a year to
complete.
Will you join us in "loving Asia by radio" by giving generously to this
critical project? Along with broadcasting with greater power and
efficiency, these upgraded transmitters can broadcast in both analog and
digital modes, positioning us to meet the needs of Asian listeners well
into the future.

IRAN 702 / 3985 Voice of East Azerbaijan. After some discussion on the
German-Austrian A-DX group, the conclusion seems to be that the Tabriz
regional station of Iran's IRIB is broadcasting a special Ramadan
programme on shortwave and mediumwave. Check next night; this is all
somewhat still presumed status. Ramadan runs until around 9 or 10
September this year.
Presumably the schedule is:
2330-0130 UT 702, 1323, 3985 kHz
0130-0430 UT 702, 1323 kHz
Programme "Avbashdanlyq" (Voice of East Azerbaijan - IRIB Tabriz) in AZERI
language. Plus FM outlets 90.4, 100.9, 105.5 MHz and Intel 902 satellite.
The website
<http://tabriz.irib.ir/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1646&Item
id=247>
announces this broadcast for the 2009 Ramadan, and the current
observations indicate that the same is true in 2010. They say that the
programme runs from 4 to 9 a.m. (=UTC+4.5 hrs), and "120 minutes" on the
"overseas" service (that would be 3985 kHz). Thanks to Google Translate
for improving my Farsi.
3985 kHz has about the strength as the Voice of Croatia on the same
frequency. Reception on 702 kHz is good here in Leipzig-Germany, // 3985
kHz, but Patrick Robic in Austria reports a different Iranian programme
which might stem from the Bushehr transmitter near the Persian Gulf, so
beware which one it is you are getting. Yours truly observed 3985 kHz to
disappear at 0130 UT though hard to tell for sure with the Croatian
powerhouse interfering.
702 kHz is optimum reflection via the Kiashar transmitter on the Caspian
Sea, usually in use for the external service for the Caucasus region.

Yes, in the file 24th Aug 2330 UT I can hear 702 kHz with clear Tabriz ID
// 1323 kHz, while 846 and 1026 kHz carried R. Iran. 1152 kHz seemed to be
off, as it has been for some years now.
[...] these are special transmissions for Ramadan, 702 kHz and also some
other frequencies have these. 702 kHz is NOT on the air normally at that
time. Last year they carried Tabriz provincial prgr. at that time. I
haven't checked 3985 kHz. I attach a recording from last year of 702 kHz.
You might check for // with 1026 kHz. Sounds like in your clip they read
temperature report for Caucasus area, I think I hear Quba and Naxcivan
mentioned. I have a couple of Perseus files from last week, I'll check
them.
(Mauno Ritola-FIN, Aug 29)
Voice of East Azerbaijan. Some notes:
The 702 kHz facility, at a location also transliterated as Ami Kiasar or
Ami Keyasar, has obviously been designed for transmissions to the then
Soviet Union. It has two directional antennas of four masts each (a
popular much-bang-for-money design), aiming almost due north, one at about
350 and the other at about 10 degrees. WRTH 1994 showed this facility on
702 and 1404 kHz with 800 kW. Apparently since then 1404 kHz has at some
point been replaced by 1521 kHz and now the transmitter is not in use at
all, while the power on 702 kHz is now listed as 500 kW.
3985 kHz is in use from Kamalabad for Russian 1700-1800 and 1930-2030 UT,
so it appears to be save to assume that this applies to the Tabriz
special, too. Has Sirjan an antenna for 75 metres at all?
What originates from Sirjan instead are the regular foreign broadcasts in
Azeri, at present 0330-0530 UT on 13710 kHz and 1430-1700 UT on 6000 kHz.
It is well possible that the IRIB branch at Tabriz is involved in the
production of these programmes, too, although I so far saw only vague
mentions of IRIB studios outside Teheran preparing content for the foreign
service, too.

PAKISTAN 1332 25 Aug at 2153 UTC, PBC, call-in show, // 1341, 1404 kHz.
Stomping signal with 100 kW but having a real showdown with co-channel
Iran at 300 kW. The resulting mix was fading up and down on about a cyclic
2-minute interval. One really has to question whether Iran really needs
all these frequencies and high power transmitters.

seemed to get a little lost as to where the tx'ers were located. Program
went into Local music and Hindi. Powerhouse signals with very little
interference way underneath and slight fading. Four years and I am *still*
trying to get a QSL out of these guys. It's just complete non-response.

Uganda daytime 7195, nighttime 4976v.
Broadcast intruder which seems to be Radio Uganda again heard on 7195 kHz
at 0915Z on Friday 27th August.
73, Ted 5Z4NU (portable at Kilifi, 36 miles north of Mombasa). Aug 27.
Radio Uganda has left 7195 kHz, is now on 4975.9 kHz QSA5.
Ted, Thanks for the additional information. We look forward to further
confirmation that Uganda has indeed moved from 7195 kHz completely.

R. Uganda has left 7195 kHz, is now on 4975.9 kHz QSA5.
Hello Chuck, Many thanks for your kind remarks, but really credit is all
due to Bill 5X1JM in Kampala, I merely passed on the news to him. He has
now had a formal acknowledgement from UCC who are still investigating, and
we are also awaiting their consent to amateur use in Uganda of the 7100-
7200 kHz segment of the band. We have that in Kenya, thankfully, but as
far as I know not yet in Tanzania, Burundi or Rwanda, who are all part of
the EA Community.
73, Ted 5Z4NU Aug 25
Dear Ted, this is indeed very good news. Pse convey my best thanks to Bill
Musoke 5X1JM as his complaints and reports to the Ugandan authorties
worked: Effictive 21 August 2010 UBC Radio Uganda has left 7195 kHz and
QSY'd to 4975.9 kHz.
Already on August 20 I had sent emails and a FAX to the Ugandan Embassy in
Berlin and to UBD in Kampala. Of course no reply, so far!
I have heard the tx-ions of UBC on 4975.9 kHz myself last night at 2104
UTC. The signal was S=9 with my 80- and 40-m-dipole (Inverted Vee and
// to each other, favourite direction north-south). Modulation was hollow
and always a bit distorted. Bcos of the "crooked" QRG it is easy to hit
the correct frequency easiyly. Have a try!
Tnx agn for your effort, pse QSP to Bill 5X1JM, and all the best
yours, Uli, DJ9KR Vice Coordinator of IARU MonSys Intruder Watch Region 1

UAE 1269 25 Aug at 2205 UTC, Radio Asia UAE with Hindi/Malay pops,
several canned IDs and no DJ. Presumed automation. Poor signals this
morning and a fluttery fade. 200 kW from Ras al Khaima.
1539 on 25 Aug at 2052 UTC, US Radio Aap Ki Dunya, with roundtable
discussion in Urdu. Must have been a political talk because one of the
participants was shouting angrily, and I could almost imagine him foaming
at the mouth. Good signals with some moderate fading. Germany's 700 kW
Evangeliums-Rundfunk heard occasionally underneath, but very weak.
1575 on 25 Aug at 2037 UTC, US Radio Farda, regional 800 kW powerhouse
running ME pop music and occasional DJ patter. Good signals with
occasional deep fades.
