ALBANIA   NASWA e-Journal for November 2025, Radio Tirana Italien service
archive report on page #17 - 21  f.f.

Hallo Wolfgang,
vielen Dank fuer Deine Mail und den Hiweis auf den Radio Tirana-Bericht.
Recht interessant, wenn man schon mal dort in Albanien - Radio Tirana
zur Besichtigung war.

Was nicht stimmt, ist, dass es fuer das italienische Programm keinen Live-
stream mehr gibt. Der wird diverse Male am Tag verbreitet - allerdings
fehlt (wie beim deutschen Programm) der Hinweis auf der Homepage, wann und
wo dieser gehoert werden kann:

<http://79.106.48.2:8000/rti>    see
<http://rthk.agdx.de/html/sendeplan.html>

Ja, die Woche Albanien/Radio Tirana Tour im Mai 2010 habe ich nicht bereut
- haette Dir auch mit Sicherheit gefallen.

Actually a rather nice signal today on 11950 kHz from 2330 to 2357 UT in
Spanish with a talk about the revolution. At about 2340 UT or so there was
an audio cut for about 30 seconds but carrier remained. Then at 2357 UT,
give or take, the talk ended and that was it. It wasn't an abrupt cut but
a natural end. Ah ... but carrier is still up nice and bright at 0003 UT.
Edit - carrier off at just past 0004 UT !

(0.6 kW) from today [29 Oct] at 13 UTC. Is 24/7 hrs/d.

World Music Radio Denmark on new 3965kHz. Stig Hartvig Nielsen-DNK informs
0.6 kW from today [29 Oct] at 13 UT. Is 24/7 hrs/d.
(via Mauno Ritola-FIN on WRTH World Radio Tv Handbook F_Book, 29 Oct)

Stig Hartvig Nielsen-DNK replies:

Thanks Mauno Ritola-FIN. Yes - finally - after several months delay -
3965 kHz is now on the air. The transmitter site is exactly the same as
the site formerly used for 927 kHz: Hvidovre, Copenhagen.

Which also means that audio processing is rather good (my one and only
Orban Optimod AM). My next project is to improve the audio on 15700 kHz.
I wish I also had an Orban Optimod AM for this frequency, because 15700
kHz provides rather good reception in Central and South Europe as well as
North Africa. Please note that 15700 kHz now is daytime only 8-16 UT (due
to electricity costs). Anyone selling a good old Orban Optimod AM - please
write me at  <wmr -at- wmr.dk>

FINLAND    Arctic 252 longwave, I guess Finish licensed project, ed.

August 2025
August 9th marked the first test of the Nautel ND2000 transmitter on a
temporary antenna. The test consisted of test tones.
August 24th marked the first broadcast of prerecorded audio content.

The transmitter is currently on a temporary antenna so our reach is only
150 km (groundwave) at present. The proper antenna is yet to be moved and
installed but this should take place in Sept 25 before the winter season.

The Nautel ND2000 is currently running at 600 W carrier and 750-800 W peak
modulation. The losses in the temporary antenna are huge ! Further changes
will mean more power at a later date. We are on the lookout for a Nautel
ND4000 and it's ATU.

Audio enhancements are being carried out so we are still in a testing
phase using prerecorded programming. If you can help the station in any
way it would be great to hear from you as we are also still in need of a
MW and SW transmitter plus an Optimod audio processor.

A huge and grateful thanks for those of you who have supported the pro-
ject, it has taken a long time to get to this point with many ups and
downs along the way but we are there, after 32 years a new LW station from
Finland is on air, albeit a small start.

October 2025
The old beacon antenna was finally removed from it's original site and is
now in pieces but the delays in taking down this big antenna has meant
Winter is upon us and work has to stop. The weight of the antenna made it
very difficult to move and erecting it requires help next year.

It has been decided to close the station down for the time being until
next summer when the antenna is up and more equipment has been bought.
An audio processor is still needed.

Whilst the station is off air it felt a good time to apply for a new LW
frequency and that request has been accepted and is being submitted to the
ITU. It will be a long wait to hear back but hopes are that Arctic can
finally have a clear channel and get started properly. It's far better to
start with a clear channel next year than carry on with a temporary anten-
na on a channel that has already a powerful transmitter that can even be
heard here.

The project continues despite it's slow advance and all hopes are now
with the ITU agreeing the new frequency. - We'll be back next year ...

GUAM   KTWR Guam Merizo site - final transmission for ever.

Acting on the information regarding KTWR Guam's final broadcast I took my
PL880 to my favourite listening location to see if I could get KTWR's
1500-1600 hrs UTC transmission in Korean on 9900 kHz through the trans-
mitter at Merizo, Guam.

I am glad to say that the radio, as well as the listening location, came
up trumps (as did the weather) and I got a very good signal from which
I made a 6 minute audio recording (in lieu of programme details - I don't
speak a word of Korean) that I have sent by email attached to a reception
report. I did include some details about what I heard during the last
10 minutes of the transmission as well as the words of the closing ID
which confirmed that what I heard was indeed KTWR Guam.

Although the trip to get from my home to the listening spot in question is
fairly long (about 75 minutes drive, followed by 25 minutes hillwalking
when I have parked) the location is worth the trip: 211m / 592ft above sea
level and very scenic with nothing likely to obstruct the signal - or the
view - for a minimum of 15 to 20 miles in most directions. Best SWL spot
I ever came across.

Having sent the reception report on Sunday 26th I just await the QSL card
now.

INDONESIA   There has been speculation about the transmitter locations of
new 7205 kHz Pro 3 RRI and 9690 kHz Voice of Indonesia. The Facebook group
Pendengar Setia AM/MW & SW di Indonesia says it has the answers. This is a
translated compilation of their investigations.

7205 kHz  The transmitter is located at Kebayoran Baru, South Jakarta. In
a 14 Sept post there is a video of a rather brutalist-looking 4 storey RRI
building with a simple 2 element Yagi antenna on the roof. The video is
taken from Jl. Antena II, a graffiti-filled lane at the rear. Next door
building is RRI's Education and Training Research and Development Centre
which has the address Jl. Dalam Radio Raya 4.

This post also includes a photo of the inner workings of the very small
transmitter constructed by RRI technicians. The Pro 3 RRI studios are lo-
cated at Medan Merdeka Barat in Central Jakarta.

A post from Mohammad Rohanudin says that the 7205 kHz transmitter has
600 Watts PEP power. It has a solid stage [state?] AM PWM modulation
system, the VFO is like a custom-made SSB radio made for BITX USDX, and it
uses DDS. Its beam is east through Java to Papua. It turns out that Mr
Rohanudin is not just any listener but is a 2021-26 member of RRI's super-
visory board, and from 2016-21 he was RRI's President-Director. He appa-
rently led a team in construction of this transmitter. He has also en-
couraged DRM testing on AM and FM.

Malik Zinedine points out that from 1945 Kebayoran Baru was used for Voice
of Free Indonesia (which lasted for 19 days in 1945 then was rebranded as
RRI) and RRI Jakarta SW broadcasts, then used for RRI's AM until 2005 and
finally in 2019 for an FM transmitter.

9690 kHz  This transmitter is located at Cimanggis, Depok, West Java. In a
21 Sept post there is a photo of a rotatable log periodic dipole array,
quite an impressive antenna, used for 9690 kHz. It seems that it is in the
same area as the 4755 kHz antenna tower which is variously described as a
30 metre dipole. It's seemingly the second photo in this post.

The new and quite stylish Voice of Indonesia building at Cimanggis has the
address Jl. Umum No. 2 RT.1/RW.1, Cisalak, Kec. Sukmajaya, Depok. In a
20 Sept post there is a photo of the building with an antenna tower partly
visible nearby, not clear for which transmitter/frequency. Other RRI
buildings close by are RRI Powerhouse Cimanggis and the RRI Multiplatform
Broadcast Centre.

Mauno Ritola-FIN at WRTH reported that Voice of Indonesia 9690 kHz is 1 kW
although Bryan Clark-NZ reporting in World of Radio 19 Sept states that a
tip from Mauno said that the power is 400 Watts so maybe 1 kW is nominal.
Mauno adds that VOINS on 4755 kHz is nominally 10kW but operating at 3 kW.
He says Palangkaraya 3325 kHz is 30 kW (WRTH 2025 shows 40 kW) but it is
clearly operating at a tiny fraction of that output.

INDONESIA  7205 kHz  RRI Pro 3, from 1932+ UT, Oct 28, heard via a remote
at Bandung (Bogor remote has blocked this frequency); fair reception with
very light QRM underneath; extensive discussion about Indonesian fishermen
and how it is that they now often work as crew members on foreign vessels
(this per Google audio translation).

Aoki database lists this as "7205 kHz 0900-2400 UT INS RRI Pro.3 Ind Tiga
Island 1-7." I was interested to notice the location,  due to the fact
that it is located not in Indonesia, but actually in Malaysia.

AI overview: "Pulau Tiga, or Tiga Island, is not a single island in Indo-
nesia, but a group of three islands in Sabah, Malaysia, often mistakenly
called 'Tiga Island Indonesia' due to its location and association with
the reality show Survivor." ["Pulau Island, Survivor Island" - Pulau Tiga
Park is located north of Kuala Penyu, ... The island became famous when it
was used as the location for the first Survivor reality TV series which
aired in the US in the year 2000.]

Please notice the info below, which discloses: 7205 kHz "The transmitter
is located at Kebayoran Baru, South Jakarta ..."

Also heard today:
9690 kHz Voice of Indonesia, heard on Oct 28 (1950 UT) via Kiwi SDR remote
at Bogor; for over two weeks now this station has again been heard with
very garbled audio. When they first went on the air it had garbled audio,
but later it was fixed and had decent audio for a while, but now is back
to very poor quality audio.

KIRIBATI   No news as yet as to when Radio Kiribati will reactivate 1440
kHz AM after the antenna tower was accidently damaged in mid-September.
However I have found an intriguing reference to a reference to another AM
frequency in the ?nal paragraph of the following 'About Us' section on the
BPA website. I suspect the reference to 1449 kHz is actually a typo which
should be 1440 kHz !

Radio Kiribati is a public radio station owned and managed by the Broad-
casting & Publications Authority (BPA), a Kiribati Government entity. It
began operations in October 1954. While the government provides funding
for infrastructure, it is run as a commercial station and most of its re-
venue comes from advertising. It also charges government bodies that wish
to have programmes broadcast by the station.

Radio Kiribati's programmes cater to the general population of Kiribati;
its programming is 75 percent in the local language (I-Gilbertese) and 25
percent in English, all of which is locally produced. The station also re-
lays live sittings of the House of Parliament which are held 4 times a
year. Radio Kiribati transmits via a 10 kW AM transmitter located on the
Tarawa atoll and operates an FM station (250 Watt) on Kiritimati Island.

BPA also relays the ABC Radio through an AM 1449 kHz & FM station FM 89.9
MHz on Tarawa. Radio Kiribati reaches almost all residents of Kiribati.

LAOS   "RADIO BROADCASTING IN LAOS - AN OVERVIEW". I recently spent three
weeks in SoEaAS, as part of an around-the-world trip which ultimately
took me to Europe and Canada.

Radio bcing in Laos is quite basic, as compared with other countries of
the region. There is one national Govt network, "Lao National Radio" ori-
ginating from the capital Vientienne, heard on 576 kHz MW, 200 kW, 2200-
0330, 0400-0730, and 0930-1500 UT. This is also carried on SW, using 6130,
with 50 kW, intended for Laos. Content is mainly Lao variants, with Hmong
other dialects. It is understood that educational progrming in En and Fr
are carried irregularly, but these were not located.

In Vientienne, only three mediumwave txs were heard, carrying Lao pro-
grming: 576 kHz: National network 702 kHz: local/city network 810 kHz:
not identified.

In Luang Prabang, in Northern Laos, only one MW stn appeared to be operat-
ing in the local daytime, using the "split" freq of 705 kHz, carrying
mainly local progrming, but relaying the national network from Vientienne
at various times.

HF operations. Vientienne. There are two Govt txs operating. One of these
uses 50 kW, on 6130 kHz, 2200-0330, 0400-0730, 0930-1500 UT. The intended
target zone is "Laos". Programming is in // with the high-powered MW out-
let 575 kHz and FM on 103.75. This tx was installed in 1994 year.

A second tx of 25 kW is also used, on 7145 kHz, for what is annd as the
"International Service". This is registered with the ITU from 0100-1800UT,
with the target area designated as Laos, with progrming in En, Thai, Viet-
namese, French, and Khmer. This tx originally operated on 6130 kHz and was
moved to 41 mb when the 50 kW facility was put on line on 6130 kHz.

The exact schedule was not confirmed, but the evening bcs were audible in
the block 1130-1400 UT with 30 mins in each of the above langs. Other sces
listed are 2330-0030 UT (a SoEaAS 'breakfast" sce) in Vietnamese and
Khmer, and a midday sce 0500-0630 UT in French, Thai and English.
I believe the Lao segments to be relays of the domestic sce.

A third tx of 3 kW is listed, but unheard, on 7150 kHz, 0100-1800 UT, also
intended for "Laos". This is the tx which previously carried the Inter-
national Sce on 7112 kHz, several years ago.

A forth tx is registered, with 1 kW, on 3315 kHz, 0100-1800 UT, again for
"Laos", but not heard recently.

Outside of Vientienne, the number of regional txs has been reduced in re-
cent years and now appears to number only one, but it is not known whether
this is an official Govt stn. The following was noted as active:

4661 kHz  1040-1230*, *1300-1400*, *2315-0030 UT. This is listed in WRTH
at Sam Neua, in Hua Phan province, near the extreme North East border with
VTN. This is a very small town, and tx location is questionable. Reception
in Luang Prabang was excellent, and I suggest that this stn is actually
located in Luang Prabang, and not as listed. WRTH lists Luang Prabang on
6971 kHz, but no activity observed on that channel at any time.

6765 kHz  A mystery stn! This is a SSB stn suppressed carrier operation,
and was heard with good strength from Northern Laos during the morning and
evening. I do not suggest that it is located in Laos, but there is high
probability that it is ! It opens with a Western style mxal tuning signal,
with English and Laotian annts, announcing times and freqs, including a
message that the txion was "This is radio..... bcing for Western tourists"

Txions were heard *0930-1030*, *1200-1300*, *0000-0100*. *1330-1400* UT.
Content was mainly in Laotian, with what appeared to be nx, with national
mx. From a reception location in the south, in Vientienne, signal strength
was much reduced.

Care is needed when monitoring the 4 and 6 Mhz region for the South Asian
regionals. From thousands of km away, Lao can sound very similar to Viet-
namese !  Vietnamese regionals were noted on:
4796 Son La, 6380 Lai Chau, 6492 Cao Bang, 6664 Lao Cai.
(excerpted; Bob Padula-AUS, edxp Sept 10, 2002)

LAOS   702 kHz  Vientiane City Radio (Sathaani Witthayu Krajaisiang
Nakhong Luang Wiengchan, or however you want to spell it, sometimes the
'Krajaisiang' is dropped in IDs) now operates 2330-1000 UT (announced and
observed). The Vientiane City Radio stn is located in the compound of the
Department of Information and Culture of Vientiane Prefecture in
Manthatulath Road, Ban Xieng Yuen, Vientiane.

Inside the compound is a building marked in Lao 'Vientiane City R Bcing
and Television Station'. Hard to believe that TV and radio studios can
both be squeezed into the tiny building, but there is a tall lattice tower
there with what appear to be 8 vertically polarized vertically stacked
dipoles for Band II. The MW tx must be located elsewhere.

1030 kHz  is now inactive, although it's still announced by the foreign
lang sces.

1370 kHz  I'm not sure about Pakse 1370 kHz. I'd expect the carrier at
least to be audible after dark, but there's not a trace here. Possibly
it's changed frequency.
(Alan Davies on tour in Vientiane-LAO, via ARC MV-Eko May 30, 2003)

LAOS   Foreign sce of LNR Vientiane on SW is still inactive at present. No
signals on 7116 or 7145 UT either. Active stns are obviously LNR Vientiane
on 6130 kHz (strong signal the whole day) and LNR Luang Prabang auf 6975v
(irregularly and weak signal). All other stns mentioned in WRTH couldn't
been traced, are seemingly inactive.

(Roland Schulze-PHL, May 17, 1998; via wwdxc BC-DX TopNews)

LAOS   4691.5 kHz presumed Houa Phan, a moderate but clear signal here and
regular at 1025-1230 UT. Noted 29 June with carrier on at 1018 UT, then
tuning signal (repetitive mx on trad instruments) 1025-1031 UT with voice-
over annct at 1029 UT which sounded to me to include reference to Sam
Pheua, capital of Houa Phan province. Relays Vientiane chimes and nx
// 576, 6130 kHz at 1159-1230 UT.

6972.4 kHz  Louang Prabang, Sept 23, 1347-1359* UT, mostly talk in local
language by female, typical Lao mx - poor and not // 6130 kHz.
(Mikhail Timofeyev-RUS, Sept 23, 1998; via wwdxc BC-DX TopNews)

6972.63, Louang Prabang (pres) in Laotian, 24 Sep, 1106, //4682.57 which
was much better. Sounds a bit like the Thai lang to my uneducated ear.
(David Norrie-NZL, Sept 24, 1998; via wwdxc BC-DX TopNews)

LAOS   Lao National Radio's Internat Sce noted again on 7145 kHz. In Viet-
namese when I first checked at 1210 UT, ending with a nice comprehensible
ID mentioning 'Lao' and 'Vientiane' and then beginning Cambodian at 1230UT
and French at 1258 UT. The English segment finished with the Lao National
Anthem just before 1400 UT, when the carrier went off. Reception here dete
riorates after about 1230 UT, and throughout the signal is weaker at this
location than the dom sce on 6130 kHz. The good nx is that the audio was
improved compared with the txion I reported a few days ago.

I was last able to confirm the // MW freq 1030 kHz in early August 2001,
listening from Thailand.
(Alan Davies-MLA, via wwdxc BC-DX TopNews Oct 2, 2001)

7145  Vientianne, Lao National R in En 1330-1400. Stn s-ff with the Nat
Anthem at 1400 and carrier also off. Good modulation 7145, some splatter
CHN 7150. I think Davis mentioned this some days back. I was looking for
MLA, when I got this one.

5985 kHz  Myanmar Radio via Yegu-Yangon site, finally a signal out of this
one. First reception this season for me. Noted with YL reading national nx
at 1135 UT on October 30, poor-fair power on noisy band noise from atmos-
pherics, not random QRMing electrical noise, as often noted this frequency
of late. Just checked 1140 UT and noted // 5915 kHz for this national news

ROMANIA   Following the reduction in Radio Romania's broadcasting hours,
Radiocom, the broadcasting operator, cancelled the procurement process
that had been launched for the installation of new medium-wave transmitter
units (one 100 kW transmitter and one 50 kW transmitter).

5 years ago, the Romanian Broadcasting Corporation even ordered Radiocom
to replace the faulty transmitters, failing which it would terminate the
lease agreement between the radio station and the company that operates
the transmitters. Radiocom was forced to invest in replacing 5 medium-wave
transmitters. The new units were to be installed at the Ront?u transmitter
centre, near Oradea (between Cluj and the Hungarian border): a 100 kW
transmitter to replace the 200 kW Harris on 909 kHz, and a second trans-
mitter at Valu lui Traian near Constanta (near the Black Sea) with a 50 kW
transmitter.

{pirate radio ? or licensed operation ? }

Kinna 261 was observed testing on longwave 261 khz at 09:45 UT on Satur-
day 1 November 2025. The signal was super-weak and noisy via a webSDR
in nearby Boras and would normally be extremely difficult to identify
100%, but comparison with an audio file on the broadcaster's website

<https://www.500khz.se/lw.php>

confirmed identification. The broadcast consisted of an interval signal
played three times then a female with the following announcement in
Swedish: [translation] "This is a test broadcast on longwave from
'Kinna 261'. Any listening reports should be sent to
<info -at- elektrosport.se>  ".

USA/TIBET target radios    Reuters: Defunding US radio stations creating
Tibet 'void', exile leader says.

<https://www.reuters.com/world/china/defunding-us-radio-stations-
creating-tibet-void-exile-leader-says-2025-10-29/>

Defunding US radio stations creating Tibet 'void', exile leader says.

The Trump administration's move to
defund Radio Free Asia and Voice of America, opens new tab is creating an
information void in Chinese-ruled Tibet, the head of the Tibetan govern-
ment in exile said on Wednesday, adding that he hoped the funding could be
restored.

Penpa Tsering told Washington's National Press Club the U.S. stations,
which have been persistent thorns in Beijing's side, had played a vital
role, including in conveying American values to Tibetans.

"People are feeling the void already. From within Tibet, we receive mes-
sages, like - they can't say directly, so they are saying, 'we are missing
our morning tea,'" Tsering said.

"So we are still hoping that there would be some space for the funding of
the Voice of America and Radio Free Asia, which are very, very essential
tools for information dissemination within Tibet."

Rights activists say VOA and RFA have highlighted abuses by China against
minorities, including Tibetans and Uyghur Muslims.

President Donald Trump's critics call defunding the stations a strategic
blunder in U.S. competition with China, which has poured billions of dol-
lars into pushing Beijing's narrative.

Tsering welcomed the restoration of $6.8 million in U.S. funding for Tibe-
tans cut as part of Trump's "America First" policy that dismantled the
U.S. Agency for International Development.

"Every penny counts for us," he said. "Those fundings are very essential,
not just to take the Tibetan movement forward, but also keep the Tibetan
community intact."

On Wednesday, Radio Free Asia said it would halt all news production from
Friday due to the ongoing U.S. government shutdown and delay in receiving
funding for the new fiscal year.

RFA President and CEO Bay Fang called it a cost-saving plan to help su-
stain the organization should funding resume.

Tsering spoke ahead of talks between Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping
on Thursday expected to focus on securing a trade deal between the world's
two largest economies and geopolitical rivals.

Asked for his message to global leaders in dealing with China, Tsering
said: "Don't just think about the short-term benefits of doing business
with China, but the long-term interests of your own country."

USA   WRMI transmission sheet B25 minor updated on November, 2

Hello to all friends of the group!
Enjoy whatever you are listening!
I would like to point out the WRMI transmission sheet updated on
November 2nd, 2025.

FREQUENCY Measurement Test.

{dies gilt auch fuer die exakt genauen finger-zeig-maessigen carrier
Messungen auch fuer die Monitoring-Handhabe in den BC Aussendungen inter-
nationaler SW Sender, z.B. seit dem 2008 Jahr, als der ueberragende SDR
Perseus aus Italien erhaeltlich war, ed.}

Also in English translation

<https://dj3ei.famsik.de/blog/posts/2024/frequency_calibration/>

Die Frequenz von Traegern auf der Kurzwelle soll gemessen werden, und zwar
moeglichst genau: Etwa 20- oder 50-mal genauer, als fuer uebliche Zwecke
nuetzlich ist. Das Ganze versteht sich als eine nerdige Herausforderung an
Leute, denen so etwas Spass macht. So laesst sich der "Frequency Measure-
ment Test"(FMT) zusammenfassen, den die ARRL zweimal im Jahr veranstaltet.

Bald ist es wieder soweit: In der naechsten Woche am Freitag, am 7. Novem-
ber, findet der naechste FMT statt, in aller Fruehe von 02:30 bis 03:21
UTC. Die aus unserer Sicht unangenehm naechtliche Uhrzeit erhoeht immerhin
die Chance, dass die 40-m- und 80-m-Signale aus den USA in Deutschland
ueberhaupt zu hoeren sind. Weitere Details hat die FMT-Webseite [1].

Wie ein normaler Transceiver aufs Hertz genau kalibriert werden kann, be-
schreibt ein CQ DL-Artikel aus dem Heft 8/24, der inzwischen im Blog des
Autors, DJ3EI, verfuegbar ist [2], auch in englischer Uebersetzung.
