ALBANIA 13640 R. Tirana, VG S9+12 signal for English to NoAM at 1530 UT
on Jan 30: going from talk to music segment at 1543 UT, and no problem
from doomed Darwin transmission of CVC whose carrier was barely detectable
on 13635 kHz; see AUSTRALIA. 1553 UT the music outro sounded like "Dance
with Me", then another folk song with ululations, 1557 UT outro that as
"Folk edition musical program", closing theme to 1558 UT, IS until 1600 UT
and open carrier until 1601* UT. Altho modulation level was good,
modulation quality was as usual deficient, especially during the music.

The quarter hour of Radio Tirana in English at 1945-1958 UT on 11635 kHz
to North America surprisingly strong and excellent audio quality by the

Looks like they have repaired the old transmitter (presumably, a new

the transmitter "warbled" a bit. Still though, happy to have it back as
this is the most reliable RAE freq for me.

AUSTRALIA [and non] Hi Andrew, Have been getting reports that CVC will
be closing down Darwin at the end of January. Does this mean the entire
site will be dark, permanently, or will CVC just no longer be involved??
There have also been reports that CVC will be ceasing ALL shortwave
broadcasting. Please confirm or explain. Are any other sites you use going
out of service on the same date or soon, and if so, which ones, which
languages and services?
(Glenn Hauser-USA, WoR, to Andrew Flynn-CVC-UK, via dxld)
Indeed, the Darwin site is ending transmissions on 31st January, and being
dismantled[!] ahead of CVC's lease expiry in June [! 2010, wb].
It is untrue that CVC is ending ALL shortwave broadcasting - Santiago and
Lusaka still serve viable targets in Latin America and Africa, and The
Voice Asia, which we broadcast from Tashkent, generates tens of thousands
of responses every month.
However, as I have said before, when you combine changing patterns of
media consumption with a tough financial climate, it's necessary to
examine where funds will make the most impact. Christian Vision is
committed to introducing people to Jesus and see Him touch and change
their lives - and since we consider the message to be superior to the
means or medium we won't be precious about being narrowly defined, like
'we are a shortwave broadcaster' for example.
This is clearly a time of transition and nobody quite knows how it will
pan out as target demographics, media access, habits and trends are non-
homogenous. Radio is still an important part of the mix, especially for
those who cannot access new media (I will be speaking on this at Radio
Asia in February), and it does things that other media can't do; but a
generation of a billion (and increasing) 'connected' mostly-young people
has emerged for whom radio has little or no relevance. This presents a
huge opportunity which we cannot ignore.
Kind regards

Andrew, Thanks for explaining. I wonder if you could also give me some
ideas about this:
Whose decision was it to dismantle the Darwin facility rather than
repurpose it? One would have thought that Radio Australia would be glad to
have it back for its own full use. Since CVC was leasing it, whose
property is it now, on the air or not?
Are some of the transmitters, antennas destined for other sites?
Do you plan to mark the final transmission(s) in any particular way,
special programming or announcements, and if so, exactly when; specially
endorsed QSLs?
(Glenn Hauser to Andrew Flynn-UK, Jan 26, via WoR dxld)
The Cox Peninsula "Darwin" transmitter site is closing down as of January
31, and to be dismantled[in June 2010, wb.]. CVC has not told us exactly
when the last transmission will go on air, or whether any of the existing
transmissions of its own or relays of R. Australia, and JCI (Japanese
clandestines to North Korea) will have stopped earlier, but based on Aoki
list, here is the full schedule we have been able to put together for all

Altho WRTH says Darwin has 2 x 100 kW, 3 x 250 kW, and 1 x 300 kW
transmitters, all these are listed as 250, except for a semi-250 for DRM.
This should be useful in monitoring which transmissions are still going or
end as of UT January 30, 31, or even February 1; and attempting to get a
historically-dated QSL.

Vienna MW Transmitter To Bi Demolished.
The complete antenna array of the Wien-Bisamberg mediumwave site will be
demolished at the end of February. So far it is not known what will happen
with the grounds. The transmitter building is under preservation order.
<http://wien.orf.at/stories/417899/>
Transmissions from this site, on 1476 kHz, ceased on 31 Dec 2008 at 2310
UT. At this point it was planned to blow up only the 265 m tall "Nordmast"
(northern mast), once used for the 585 kHz outlet that is silent for
almost two decades now. The 120 m "Suedmast" for 1476 kHz was supposed to
be kept, and Oesterreichische Rundfunksender GmbH told ADXB-OE that the
frequency would still be available for interested broadcasters. But now
they dump this option definitely.
Some photos of the antenna array:

larger photo collection that includes also a shot of the Thomson M2W
transmitter that had been used during the last years of operation:

CANADA Site Photos Of The CHU Time Station, Ottawa, Canada.
Hi, all you Shortwave sites enthusiasts! Living in Western Canada, I was
quite surprised that there is not any picture of the transmitter site of
the CHU Time Station in Ottawa on the Internet. So I decided to bother my

were taken last fall and appeared to be very blurry. Finally, I got these
good ones and I'm happy to share them with the people of our group.

PAKISTAN The Frequency manager of Radio Pakistan informs me that they
will once again broadcast in Nepali, Sinhala and Tamil from February 1st.
The existing schedule between 0900 and 1330 UT via API-3 & 4 will be
replaced with:
0900-1000 Bangla
1000-1030 Nepali
1045-1145 Hindi
1145-1215 Gujrati
The proposal is to use 11580 and 9345 kHz for all of these, but I informed
him that both frequencies would probably receive co-ch interference. So
the final choice is not yet known.
At 1230-1300 UT Sinhali and 1300-1330 UT Tamil is listed for 11580 kHz
(this may be changed) and 15630 kHz.
Their services in Pashtu and Dari are scheduled from 1300 UT on one - or
maybe both - of these transmitters, so it is possible that these services
will start at 1345 UT instead via 6235 kHz. I have no positive information
about this.

(Dario Monferini-ITA, playdx yg via dxld Jan 27)
Re: Haven't heard WTWW testing the last few days on 9480 or 5755, so I
asked George McClintock how things are going. He says a long test period
is scheduled for Saturday Jan 23, times here changed to UT:
1600-1900 9480 1900-2200 9475
2200-2400 9480 0000-0400 5755 [UT Sunday]
"All this assumes that we have no problems. This will be a test to see how
the transmitter and other equipment hold up with extended transmission
time."
[later] And it's on and running! Huge S=9+25 signal here with classic rock
'n' roll music at 1608 UT Jan 23. Initially steady, but then with slow
selective fading the only thing marring the music. Frequent IDs by Ted
Randall, asking for reports to
<tedrandall @ tedrandall.com>
(Glenn Hauser-OK-USA, dxld Jan 27)
WTWW heard with weak but clear signal here in the UK from tune-in at
1830 UT on 9480 with oldies and frequent "equipment tests" announcements.
First time I've heard it here.
(Dave Kenny-UK, dxld Jan 23)
9480 WTWW (Lebanon, TN), 1844-1900, Jan 23, English. 1960s pop music.
Canned announcement by Ted Randall with identification "You're listening
to WTWW, Lebanon, TN, performing equipment tests". Requested reception
reports to <tedrandall @ tedrandall.com>
Good signal with some fading. Signal strength decreased by about 50% at
1859, and test on 9480 ended at 1900. Test continued on 9475 with same
(weaker) signal.
(Jim Evans-TN-USA, dxld Jan 27)
Now, at 0253 UT of Jan 24 on 5755 kHz WTWW comes with good signal playing
their wonderful rocks, 44444, incredible quality of the received signal.
(Jorge Freitas-BRA, dxld Jan 27)
No idea, Tim. But without insulting anyone else's listening preferences, I
hope it doesn't turn out to be another religious/ radical politics format.
I think we could do with a little more variety from domestic SW.
(John KC2BPU Figliozzi, NY, ibid.)
I believe it will be a lot like WWCR and KAIJ - mostly religion, plus far-
right politix. That's where the business is. If we are lucky, there will
be some time left over for DX programs to fill in. Enjoy the oldies while
you can (could).

Last night from 20:43 to 21:00 Guatemalan time (0243-0300 UT) I was
performing a scanning and found on 5755 kHz a very good signal that I
thought was KAIJ coming back to air. Interestingly this station was
broadcasting Rock and Roll Oldies and to my surprise its ID was as
follows: "Coming to you from the banks of the upper ???? River in middle
Tennesee, this is WTWW, Lebanon, Tennesee, USA, performing equipment
tests".
As soon as possible, I made an electronic search and found the following

VANUATU/LIBERIA 3945 / 4025 From: "Jamie La Badia"
Dear Sir, I am a Shortwave Broadcast Engineer, and would like to know if a
station I designed is being heard here in the U.S. The station is RADIO
VANUATU, on 3945 kHz. I finished building the transmitters and antenna
systems around the middle of July, 2009.
They are running half power, (5000 watts) temporarily until I get back for
the finishing touches this weekend. I will be updating some portions of
the equipment, and adding a second frequency. Either 5055 kHz or 7260 kHz,
depending on the testing. I am leaving for Vanuatu on Sunday, the 31st.
I should be testing the 5055 kHz frequency by the 2nd week in Feb.
Here is a little tech info about the system. It's a Solid State, broadband
operating in Class E. Modulation is Pulse Width. The 3945 antenna is a 180
foot long fan dipole, around 60 feet high. The 5055 antenna is about 90
feet long, and up about 45 feet.
I have also just finished a 2500 Watt transmitter for Liberia on 4025 kHz,
but won't be putting them on for a month or so. I just want to add that
this web site is fantastic, and will be joining when I get back. I need
feedback from listeners, as I am not able to put antennas up where I live
currently. I build about 15 stations a year, and would love feedback on
how they are being heard. Thanx, JAMIE

1964/65 INTERVAL SIGNAL MONTAGE / QSL's
From Roger G3XBM's Amateur Radio blog
<http://g3xbm-qrp.blogspot.com/2010/01/shortwave-in-1960s-interval-
signals.html>
Yesterday I found this wonderful link which is a montage of 40 different
old shortwave interval signals from almost 50 years ago. Get a coffee, sit
back and listen. Imagine you are listening on your one valve radio in your
bedroom in 1964. It brings back such happy memories that I am almost
tearful with nostalgia.
<http://garlinger.com/QSL/montage.mp3>
A couple of the later ones are more recent. I found Doug Garlinger's
webpage where the link is included, has many QSL cards he received as well
as links to other interval signals if you click on the cards:
