ALGERIA   13639.998+ kHz  Nov 18 at 2009 UT into UTwente SDR rx unit,
Arabic S=9+10/15dB, listed as Bechar site of TDA on 13640 kHz, but in-
sufficient direct. We really miss 17600 kHz which in A24 season ran very
long hours, but now in B24 only in local mornings until when? HFCC has
exaggerated registrations one hour at a time even if no difference from
one to another, including now 13640 kHz, and where nothing heard, 13790
kHz and 17600 kHz.

report of Uwe Volk-THA:

VIETNAM   New 200 kW transmitters for 693 kHz (VoV 1) and 819 kHz (VoV 2)
officially on the air since 15 January 23. Here is a more detailed report
in Vietnamese incl. photos:

<https://vov.vn/xahoi/dau-an-vov/vov-nang-cong-suat-phat-songam-khu-
vuc-tay-nguyen-post996605.vov>

The tx location is the city of Buon Ma Thuoot in the Vietnamese Central
Highlands, also known as Daik Laik. There were 2 antique SW txs carrying
VoV-1 daytime on 6020 and 7210 kHz, now silent !

I expect the new installed MW txs on 693 and 819 kHz should replace them.
If Google did translate correctly, the mentioned MW txs have been relocat-
ed from the South (Mekong-Delta, Cantho). So they are not brand-new.

CONGO DEM REP OF     Still No News about Radio Kahuzi Return to SW.

In May of this year I reported on information from Radio Kahuzi about on-
going work to return to shortwave. The latest bulletin from Radio Kahuzi
contains some interesting information in the form of a Thanksgiving 2024
update but contains no clue as to when or whether there is still a plan
for a return to SW. I have sent an inquiry asking again about this.

Praise the Lord, our faithful friend, Zemmer installed the 10 KW, 48 volt
battery and six solar panels for our FM broadcasting studio. It is working
better than ever with NO MORE short circuits and citywide power outages!
Lord willing, he will install three more panels to assure the recharging
when we have overcast and rainy days.

Next, he agreed to install the two 5,000 Watt, 24 volt batteries at our
"House Next Door" to the studio, as we are finally moving in. Sadly, we
have the same water and electrical problems there as the rest of the city!
So pray for us as we experience third-world systems, as we continue
"Camping Out" in Bukavu !

Kathy and I and our Radio Kahuzi Clubs here in Bukavu are thankful for
our GALCOM Partners, as they promised 500 Solar-Powered, Fix-tuned Radios,
with built in Bible Players, programmed with Audio-Bibles and teaching in
four Languages (French, Swahili, Ugandan, and Mandarin Chinese).

"D" and his children maintain our RadioKahuzi.com Podcast on the Internet
connected to Galcom's Server in Canada reaching the World around the
clock! Galcom launched our Radio Kahuzi Podcast on their Facebook channel,
which provides us with 24/7 Internet coverage to more websites,and greater
outreach. Our combined outreach of our Podcast combined with our Blogs is
adding over 40,000 new listeners and readers in 30 new countries—around
the world !

We Praise the Lord for our Radio / Internet Program Partners augmenting
our daily local broadcasts in (12) twelve languages for our FM and SW
listening audience from our Radio Kahuzi Studio in Bukavu. Also, we re-
cently added a fourth blog in Hebrew to our English, French, and Swahili
blogs at

EGYPT   Re:  Radio Cairo asking for reception reports.

Since September 2, they have been fairly regular on 9900 kHz in Turkish
at 1700-1900 UTC and Russian at 1900-2000 UT on 9890 kHz.

This is after a 5 month break.

The broadcasts are subject to late starts and often end around 1845 UT
when I strongly suspect that the tx operator decides to slope off home
early when he should be on his work shift.

The tx they are using on the 5 degrees azimuth antenna has fairly accep-
table modulation, but it varies according to the programme content. Music
seems quite listenable, but spoken word sounds a bit rough.

As for the other languages on the 325 degrees azimuth antenna for Europe,
the audio is non existent or is so distorted that it is unintelligible.
At the moment, these broadcasts are extremely irregular. I haven't heard
the English broadcast for quite a while now.

Mauno - you say they are looking for reception reports. Where did you get
the information from - directly from them by e-mail ?
Or did you by some miracle, actually hear them announce this on air ?

My last two e-mails to  <freqmeg (at) yahoo.com>
yielded no response. I informed them about a company in the U.S.
(Kennetron) who specialise in rejuvenating old transmitter tubes. They
previously told me that worn out tubes are responsible for the poor modu-
lation quality.

For 1566 kHz it has an evening schedule only, which may explain why we

to here.

1476 kHz does have a morning broadcast Mon-Fri only at 0419-0646 UT in

GERMANY   The Friedensstimme mission belongs to the "Association of Evange-
lical Christian Baptist Communities in Germany", a former brotherhood
founded in 1976. Christians of German origin who had left the Soviet Union
and moved to Germany united there into a brotherhood and on Jan 1st, 1978
founded the organization Missionswerk "Friedensstimme", in Russian it was
called the Missionary Society "Voice of Peace". One of the tasks of the
mission was and still is the preparation of Christian radio broadcasts in
Russian.

These broadcasts were broadcast from about the end of the 70s on the waves
of Trans-World Radio (Monte Carlo) and IBRA-Radio (Stockholm) on behalf of
the missionary society "Voice of Peace". In addition to the programs of
the same name as the mission "Voice of Peace",there were programs "Through
the Pages of the Bible".

The broadcasts were hosted by Andrei Andreevich Martens, as he called him-
self on air, and the address was announced:

Iwan Peters
Postfach 180201
4800 Bielefeld, FRG, EU.

Later, probably in the early 90s, the mission was moved from Bielefeld to
the suburb of Marienheide, in the countryside (both places in the federal
state of North Rhine-Westphalia), while the nearest post box in neighbor-
ing Gummersbach began to be used for contacts. Since October 26, 2003, the
mission began broadcasting in Russian on HF from the transmission centers
of Deutsche Telekom (later Media Broadcast) Wertachtal and Nauen.

This was reported in the news of the Russian SWL/DX site in 2004

<http://radio.hobby.ru/news2.html>

From the text, it can be understood that the author of the message was
aware of the previous broadcasting of the Friedensstimme mission not as
a "separate program", but as part of radio broadcasts on other Christian
stations. The mission returned to this format of broadcasting in 2020 and
is still broadcast on the Estonian Radio Eli according to the broadcast
schedule of this station

<https://mediaeli.ee/programm/>

Since the early 90s, the broadcaster stopped using its Russian-language
name "Voice of Peace", and the websites that appeared later - the mission
itself  <www.friedensstimme.de>  and its publishing house

<www.friedensstimme.com> 

use only German and there is no information about the mission's radio
broadcasting in Russian at present and in the past.

GERMANY/EURO UNION   Pressemitteilung - Petition zur Harmonisierung der
Amateurfunk-Pruefungen in der EU: Benachteiligung deutscher Funkamateure
soll beendet werden.

Siggi, DO3XX, hat eine Petition zur Harmonisierung der Amateurfunk-Prue-
fungen in der EU auf Grund der Benachteiligung deutscher Funkamateure bei
der EU "an den Start gebracht".

Nachstehend die von Siggi uebermittelte Pressemitteilung dazu:

Petition zur Harmonisierung der Amateurfunk-Pruefungen in der EU:
Benachteiligung deutscher Funkamateure soll beendet werden.

Schwaebisch Gmuend/Bruessel, 23. November 2024 - Die hohen Anforderungen
an Amateurfunk-Pruefungen in Deutschland stehen zunehmend in der Kritik:

Eine von Siegfried Woerner DO3XX eingereichte Petition zur Harmonisierung
der Pruefungen in der EU wurde vom Petitionsausschuss des Europaeischen
Parlaments angenommen und zur weiteren Pruefung an die Europaeische Kom-
mission weitergeleitet. Ziel der Petition ist es,eine faire und vergleich-
bare Grundlage fuer alle Funkamateure innerhalb der EU zu schaffen.

Unfaire Bedingungen fuer deutsche Funkamateure.

Die aktuelle Regelung in Deutschland sorgt fuer eine deutliche Benachtei-
ligung deutscher Funkamateure. Waehrend sie umfangreiche Pruefungen mit
125 Fragen, davon allein 75 im Bereich Technik, bestehen muessen, koennen
Funkamateure aus anderen CEPT-Laendern (z.B. Frankreich oder Oesterreich)
mit erheblich geringerem Aufwand nicht nur in Deutschland aktiv werden,
sondern auch eine deutsche Lizenz beantragen.

"Diese Praxis verstoesst gegen das Gleichheitsgebot, das vorschreibt, dass
alle Personen ohne sachlich-rechtliche Gruende gleichbehandelt werden
muessen", kritisiert Woerner. Trotz vergleichbarer Pruefungsinhalte in
anderen EU-Laendern ist der Aufwand fuer deutsche Funkamateure unverhaelt-
nismaessig hoch.

Die Bundesnetzagentur erkennt auslaendische Pruefungen gemaess den Vor-
gaben der CEPT (European Conference of Postal and Telecommunications Admi-
nistrations) an - obwohl diese deutlich geringere Anforderungen stellen
als die deutschen Vorschriften.

Einheitliche Regelungen notwendig.

Die Ungleichbehandlung deutscher Funkamateure fuehrt nicht nur zu einem
Wettbewerbsnachteil, sondern wirft auch grundlegende Fragen zur Gerechtig-
keit innerhalb der EU auf. Woerner weist darauf hin, dass die CEPT-
Vorgaben deutlich weniger strenge Anforderungen an die Amateurfunkprue-
fungen stellen und dass eine EU-einheitliche Harmonisierung die einzige
Loesung sei, um eine faire Grundlage fuer alle Funkamateure zu schaffen.

"Es kann nicht sein, dass deutsche Funkamateure aufwaendigste Pruefungen
bestehen muessen, waehrend ihre europaeischen Kollegen mit deutlich gerin-
geren Anforderungen die selben Rechte erhalten - und das sogar auf deu-
tschem Boden", betont Woerner.

Europaeisches Parlament nimmt sich des Themas an.

Der Petitionsausschuss des Europaeischen Parlaments hat die Petition fuer
zulaessig erklaert und die Europaeische Kommission gebeten, den Sachver-
halt zu pruefen. Gleichzeitig wurde die Petition an den Ausschuss fuer
Industrie, Forschung und Energie zur Information weitergeleitet.

"Dies ist ein wichtiger Schritt", erklaert Sigi (DO3XX). "Eine Harmoni-
sierung wuerde nicht nur Gerechtigkeit schaffen, sondern auch die
grenzueberschreitende Zusammenarbeit zwischen Funkamateuren erleichtern."

Die Harmonisierung der Amateurfunk-Pruefungen waere ein grosser Gewinn
fuer die gesamte europaeische Funkamateurgemeinschaft. Sie wuerde nicht
nur die Voraussetzungen angleichen, sondern auch den Verwaltungsaufwand
fuer die nationalen Behoerden reduzieren und die Mobilitaet innerhalb der
EU foerdern.

Die Funkamateure in Deutschland und Europa hoffen nun auf eine zuegige
Bearbeitung durch die Europaeische Kommission und eine konkrete Initia-
tive des Europaeischen Parlaments zur Schaffung fairer und vergleichbarer
Bedingungen.

GUAM   Monitoring project on KSDA Guam.

On a short notice, Adventist World Radio cancelled all leased time slots
on external relay stations which in turn resulted in the closure of
SLBC Trincomalee Sri Lanka South Asia and ORS Moosbrunn Austria Europe.

This radical measure roused the author's interest in the remaining sche-
dule of the Adventist owned station KSDA Guam. Unfortunately, the informa-
tion in the advance schedule of the AWR Frequency Management Office 
(October 9) and the High Frequency Coordinating Conference online was in-
consistent.

The list of the High Frequency Coordinating Conference

<https://new.hfcc.org/data/schedbybrc.php?seas=B24&broadc=SDA>

had more entries. This included English, which seemed to open the oppor-
tunity to listen to the DX program 'AWR Wavescan'. The monitoring project
proved difficult, but not because of the reception. The following is a
summary of the observations.

1. The monitoring project, which ultimately took up the whole of November,
confirmed that the surplus entries in the HFCC list were not on the air.
This confirms that Wavescan is no longer available as a program on Adven-
tist World Radio. This is obviously intentional.

The old episodes were traditionally found at

<https://awr.org/program/engmi_wav/>

but that ends with episode #817 of October 20, 2024. Since episode #814
of September 29, 2024, they have appeared at the new address

<https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/wavescan>

Unfortunately, Wavescan's broadcast slots on the stations producing / co
operating up to now are in flux. On the other hand, most of the programs
mentioned in an AWR version on November 14, 2024, could also be confirmed
by listening in Europe. However, it was only after further monitoring that
it became clear that the "interference" initially noticed was self-inter-
ference.

2. On some frequencies, another AWR program could be observed alongside
the listed program and finally identified by searching for the other KSDA
frequencies used at the same time. At this point, broadcasters would have
a real advantage over automatic monitoring via WebSDR and computer program
thanks to the feedback of real people.

There are already computer programs that can detect deviations between the
planned and heard audio, but of course they are designed for FM or the
Internet. For example, they issue warnings when commercials are inter-
rupted by hazard warnings and therefore have to be played again. It is
doubtful that these would be able to cope with the differences typical of
shortwave due to fading or background noise. Let alone that they could
identify causes. Adventist World Radio was notified immediately, but
nothing changed and there was no response or explanation until end of
29 November.

3. The standard length of most programs is 28 minutes. If the frequency is
used again, there is a minute of silence before the announcement of the
new program / foreign language in pleasant English. However, not all
broadcast languages seem to be covered. At times programs were noted on //
frequencies which, according to the broadcast schedule, should have been
used to broadcast different programs.

While Chinese should be easily recognizable for most shortwave fans, you
will have to be careful with the other Southeast and South Asian langua-
ges. Some DXers report languages they do not speak as "in listed", which
would be very advisable given the status of the actual KSDA broadcasting.

4. The programs are usually very word-oriented; they usually do not sound
preachy. The music is always interesting. Some western hymns such as
"Befiehl du deine Wege" (Commit Now All Your Griefs but with the German
melody) or "What a friend we have in Jesus" could be recognized easily.

Nonetheless many songs were embedded in the local Christian music style.
The AWR theme sometimes sounds very strange on local instruments. The
author knows that in North America every genre of music is used with
Christian content. While the author thinks that hard rock is not that
much suited for Christian content, Country & Western style in a Southeast
Asian language sounds strange, too.

ROMANIA  {tentativelly}   IRRS Milano-ITA progr on new 7275 kHz 1900-2000,
{likely via Tiganesti split half power 150 kW unit. ed.}

IRRS heard signing on at 1900 UT on new 7275 kHz - the new frequency is
confirmed on their web site schedule and heard in // with weak MW 1323 kHz
direct from Italy. I presume they moved from 7290 kHz channel because of
interference from CRI Urumqi Xinjiang 500 kW beast on adjacent channel
7295 kHz. 7275 kHz is clear here with no interference.

RUSSIA   {communist USSR jamming era history}
Radio Center No. 7 with a Soviet-era "jammer" continues to be demolished
near Irkutsk.

The Federal State Unitary Enterprise "Russian Television and Radio Broad-
casting Network" (RTRS) has announced another tender for the demolition of
equipment from Radio Center No. 7 in the city of Angarsk in the Irkutsk
Region. In Soviet times, it was used to jam Western radio stations in the
country. A Telesputnik correspondent found the relevant data in the
government procurement database.

Information about the next tender in electronic form appeared in the data-
base on November 14. The deadline for submitting applications is December
2. The initial (maximum) contract price was 117.1 million rubles.

According to the technical part of the accompanying documentation, two
technical buildings, an engineering building, buildings for administrative
and management personnel, a club-canteen, a carpentry workshop, three non-
residential buildings, an antenna pavilion building, a communication and
signaling cable, an artesian well with an ECV-6-10-80 (DES) pump will now
be demolished.

In addition, the contractor will dismantle the checkpoint and guardhouse,
the territory fence, the switchgear building, an on-site improved dirt
road, several sections of the adjacent road, three cable lines, a complete
transformer substation and a sawmill.

SWITZERLAND   Switzerland ends FM broadcasting - what to do with the old
radio?

The public media company SRG, which includes our foreign broadcasting por-
tal SWI, has decided to finally abandon FM broadcasting (on ultra-short
waves) and switch off all FM antennas by the end of 2024.

The public (non-governmental) television and radio company SRG justifies
this step by the fact that fewer and fewer FM receivers are used in
Switzerland, and the maintenance of FM antennas is too expensive. The SRG
holding will continue to broadcast its radio programs via DAB+ technology
and via the Internet.  Details in Russian:

U.K.  'Radio DARC' via ENC Woofferton relay site from 5 January 2025.
As today reported at
<https://www.funkamateur.de/nachrichtendetails/items/radio-darc-
england.html>

the program of Radio DARC will be broadcast via ENC Woofferton relay site,
starting 5 January 2025. Sundays 1000-1100 UTC/GMT on 9670 kHz AM  125 kW.
ORS Moosbrunn Austria site will be closed on 31 December 2024 for ever.
(Harald Kuhl-D  DL1AX via BrDXC-UK iogr news Nov 26)

U.K.   "RADIO DARC" will be broadcasting from England from January 2025.

For almost 10 years, RADIO DARC used the ORS transmitter in Moosbrunn
near Vienna for its shortwave broadcasts on the ORS transmitter in
Moosbrunn near Vienna on Sunday mornings. At the end of 2024, the station
will be shut down.

All attempts to save the station have failed; Oesterreichischer Rundfunk
broadcasting company wants to close the allegedly no longer suitable
"shortwave" business field on December 31, 2024 finally and completely.

The view is apparently somewhat different in Woofferton, England, about
50 km southwest of Birmingham U.K.

The broadcasting complex of the British broadcasting company BBC, which
still exists there BBC is operated by its subsidiary ENCOMPASS MEDIA and
has a total of ten transmitters and just as many antennas.

"RADIO DARC" announces that with effect from January 1, 2025, a new broad-
casting contract with the shortwave station ENC Woofferton with effect
from January 1, 2025 could be concluded. Corresponding contract negotia-
tions were successful and the DARC General Assembly approved the budget
item requested for this at its meeting on November 16, 2024.

Our program will therefore be broadcast for the first time on Sunday,
5 January 2025 on the already used frequency 9670 kHz from ORS Woofferton
England. 125 kW transmission power will be used on a 4 x 4 curtain antenna
direction 105 degr azimuth to Germany. With this selection, an effective
power of just under 4 MW is achieved.

The well-known transmission on shortwave 6070 kHz in the 49 m band will
continue, where the DARC program will in future be transmitted with 10 kW
transmission power from "Channel_292" near Ingolstadt in Bavaria.

The continuation of the club's own radio program on shortwave is thus
secured for the time being.

We would like to thank the employees of ORS GmbH & Co. KG, especially
Mr. Ernst Vranka, OE3EVA, for the many years of very support and wish
them all the best for their upcoming retirement.

Re: U.K. "RADIO DARC" will be broadcasting from England from January 2025.

Hi Wolfie, - Take a look at this paragraph:

"The broadcasting complex of the British broadcasting company BBC, which
still exists there BBC is operated by its subsidiary ENCOMPASS MEDIA and
has a total of ten transmitters and just as many antennas."
It needs correcting ...:

The BBC privatised the former BBC/VoA site at Woofferton along with the
rest of its UK stations in 1997 year.

Merlin Communications International was the first private operator of
WOF followed by many others and now it is owned by ENC 'Encompass Digital
Media', a US based Co. in Atlanta, Georgia state.

There are now 8 transmitters in service, 5 of which can carry DRM digital
mode and 37 antenna arrays.

U.K.   "RADIO DARC" sendet ab dem Jahr 2025 aus England.

Fast 10 Jahre lang hat RADIO DARC fuer seine Kurzwellen-Ausstrahlungen am
Sonntagvormittag den ORS-Sender in Moosbrunn bei Wien genutzt. Am Jahres-
ende 2024 soll nun damit Schluss sein, die Anlage wird stillgelegt.

Alle Versuche einer Rettung schlugen fehl, der Oesterreichische Rundfunk
will das angeblich nicht mehr in die Zeit passende Geschaeftsfeld
"Kurzwelle" zum 31. Dezember 2024 endgueltig und vollstaendig aufgeben.
Etwas anders sieht man das offenbar im englischen Woofferton, etwa 50 km
suedwestlich von Birmingham.

Der dort noch immer vorhandene Sendekomplex der britischen Rundfunkgesell-
schaft BBC wird von der Tochtergesellschaft ENCOMPASS MEDIA betrieben und
verfuegt ueber insgesamt zehn Sender und ebenso viele Antennen.

"RADIO DARC" gibt bekannt, dass mit Wirkung ab dem 1.Januar 2025 ein neuer
Sendevertrag mit der Kurzwellen-Station ENC Woofferton geschlossen werden
konnte. Entsprechende Vertragsverhandlungen waren erfolgreich und die 
DARC-Mitgliederversammlung hat in ihrer Sitzung vom 16. November 2024 dem
hierfuer beantragten Etatposten zugestimmt.

Unser Programm wird somit erstmalig am Sonntag, den 5. Januar 2025 auf der
schon bisher genutzten Frequenz 9670 kHz aus Woofferton England zu hoeren
sein. Eingesetzt werden 125kW Sendeleistung an einer 4 x 4 Vorhang-Antenne
Richtung 105 degr azimuth nach Deutschland. Mit dieser Auswahl wird eine
effektive Leistung von knapp 4 MW erzielt.

Weiterhin bestehen bleibt die bekannte Aussendung auf der Kurzwelle 6070
kHz im 49-m-Band, hier kommt das Programm des DARC kuenftig mit 10 kW
Sendeleistung von "Channel_292" aus der Naehe von Ingolstadt in Bayern.

Der Fortbestand des vereinseigenen Rundfunkprogramms auf Kurzwelle ist
damit vorerst gesichert. Wir danken den Mitarbeitern der ORS GmbH & Co.
KG, insbesondere Ernst Vranka, OE3EVA, fuer die jahrelange sehr wohl-
wollende und tatkraeftige Unterstuetzung und wuenschen fuer den anste-
henden Ruhestand alles Gute.
