Seems the internet age has not really reached Bulgaria. (Mike Barraclough, who forwards this:) Dear Mike, I have some news from Radio Bulgaria. In their "Answering Your Letters" programme on the 15th of Ocotober one of the announcers said that "even approaching the 21st century Radio Bulgaria's e-mail (rbul@nationalradio.bg) was not reliable and they would like listeners to use the mailing address" (4 Dragan Tsankov Blvd., 1040 Sofia, Bulgaria or P.O. Box 900, 1000 Sofia, Bulgaria). (Jonathan Murphy, Co. Cork, Eire, Oct 21 via Barraclough, World DX Club via DXLD) ** CANADA. Hi Glenn! I heard RCI (Maple Leaf Mailbag and Courrier mondial) earlier this evening and learned of some major changes in the English and French sectors. Both will begin running a program called "Canada Today" & "Canada en direct" running live to each target area. (I still haven't seen their new technical/program schedules.) The show is 59 minutes long, including the news. On weekends, the English service is revamping the schedule, replacing the 30-minute specialty programs Earthwatch, Venture Canada and the Arts in Canada with a show called Weekend Review (I think). Mailbag will be maintained. Similarly, the French service will air "Samedi mag" and "Dimanche mag". RCI will maintain Planète and the Courrier mondial. There's also something about a new show specifically to Africa at 0700 UTC. Stéphane Parent's show also mentioned the use Meyerton in South Africa for the service to Africa. This is in addition to the Madagascar site listed in Radio Netherland's tech schedule. Anyway, I think the RCI mailbag programs explain things better than I ever could: http://www.rcinet.ca/pages/real.asp Regards, (Ricky Leong, Québec, Oct 23, DX LISTENING DIGEST) Here are my notes from that show: David Blair and Lynne Desjardins were guests explaining the new setup: Canada Today will be live daily, instead of one Spectrum show per day, then repeated. This will allow more timely coverage of news, especially more business news every day. There will no longer be any specific regional news segments as in Spectrum, but will be mixed in. Correspondents in Toronto and Ottawa are being added [not till now? About time -gh]. News expanded to run a bit longer. The show will have more `edge`. David Blair will be responsible for the 2100 UT show ``to one target`` [? Used to be Europe, Africa, Mideast, and defacto NAm]; Lynne Desjardins and Jim Craig for earlier editions. Of course, some of the individual reports from David`s edition will be repeated in later ones. [But how about the NAm evening edition? Brand new by then?] Mailbag is the one show on weekends that will remain. Canada Review will replace the other weekend specialty shows Venture Canada, Arts in Canada, and Earthwatch, but some of these components will be included in the new more general show. [So how about the various CBC programs RCI has been carrying on weekends? No mention of them here; will they continue? Quirks & Quarks, Roots & Wings, Mystery Project, etc., etc. -gh] (Glenn Hauser, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CANADA.

Falun Dafa Radio was observed at 2158 on 22nd October, signing on 12145 kHz for the 2200 broadcast with an interval signal and announcements in Chinese and English. It was a strong and clear signal here in the UK, at least until the Chinese jammer found it at 2202. There's a clip of this on the Interval Signals Archive at http://www.interval signals.com (Dave Kernick, hard-core-dx via DXLD) ** DOMINICAN REPUBLIC? Hola todos: David Hodgson suggests that the 4410 station may not be located in the Andean region, as follows: In terms of its origin, I can say this: It is very likely Central America, because it seems to be in the null of the beverage that I use, which performs quite well for South American DX. It`s best heard here, on a nondirectional 15 meter inverted L antenna, which isn't the case for Andean DX and such. He also suggests that 4410 could be a 3rd harmonic of the announced "1470 kHz" heard in the ID by Rafael O. R. Rodríquez. I just did a Web search for "la voz de la alabanza" and came up with a listing for "La Voz de la Alabanza AM-1470 San Fco. de Macoris" in the Dominican Republic at: http://gospelcom.net/lpea/spanish/radio/rdominica.html I don't know yet if David's beverage antenna also shows a null to the east towards the Dominican Republic, but perhaps this is where the station is from? (Mark Mohrmann, Coventry, VT, USA, Oct 24, DX LISTENING DIGEST) Hi Glenn: Mark Mohrmann wrote back, the following: Hmmmmm.....very interesting indeed. The harmonic idea didn't occur to me. Sometimes in the rush to get new info out I don't stop and analyze what it is that we are all hearing. It sounds very likely that this could be the case. As far as CA vs LA [sic]; what about time? I can't say that I've discovered any similar nulls on my V-Beam that helps me to differentiate geography, but from up here in Vermont, CA's hang in there much longer than LA stations. When the last of the Ecuadorians has faded just at local sunrise, the CA's are booming in here. Do you have that same time differential down your way? La Voz de la Alabanza AM-1470 San Francisco de Macorís, Dom. Rep. Maybe it's a network program produced here and sent to other LA stations, or maybe this is really it. I believe he's got it right! Fantastic work by Mark Morhmann. BTW I've got some sharp nulls to the E on my Bev as well. 73, (David Hodgson, TN, Oct 24, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also under PERÚ below. The website above lists affiliates for the widely-syndicated Luís Palau program. A note on terminology: LA for Latin America includes everything from México (or should I say EE.UU.?) and the Caribbean to Tierra del Fuego with the possible exception of ex-British, Dutch and Danish colonies. Central America and South America are both subsets of LA. Thus it makes sense to contrast CA with SA, but not CA with LA. Europeans (e.g. WRTH) tend to lump the Caribbean in with Central America, not really appropriate, possibly out of confusion with the German term Mittelamerika. In anthropological terms, ``Middle America`` in English does include the Caribbean (gh, DXLD) ** ECUADOR. 5060 Radiodifusora Nacional Progreso. 0125-0145 OCT. 21: Reactivated with excellent signal. Noted with Música Rockolera.

(Rafael Rodríguez R., Bogotá, Colombia, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** GERMANY. 80 years ago ...... The first radio broadcast transmission in Germany took place on the 22nd December 1920. The station transmitting as the first an official radio broadcast to the public (instrumental concert) was "Koenigs Wusterhausen" - located about 15 km southeast Berlin. Since 1997 the Radio Club Koenigs Wusterhausen ( OV "Y07" - chapter of = the DARC ) issues the award "Sender Koenigs Wusterhausen". From 1st December until 23rd December 2000 the Club Call DL0KWH will be active from the QTH of the old radio station using the special DOK (for DLD award) "80 Radio". "80 Radio" is good for the DLD AWARD issued by the DARC. DL0KWH is good for the AWARD "Sender Koenigs Wusterhausen". Contacts will be confirmed by QSL-card showing the area of the old radio station.

On August 2, 1990, the Iraqi forces brutally occupied the state of Kuwait. Baghdad refused all worldwide appeals to withdraw. Consequently, the world waged a just war against Iraq. Upon their overwhelming defeat and retreating from Kuwait, the Iraqi forces set fire intentionally to over 600 Kuwaiti oil wells. After several months of firefighting, day and night, the catastrophe came to an end leaving behind an environmental devastation from which Kuwait is still suffering. The extinguishing of the last oil well marked a great event for which the nation celebrated in November 1991. On November 4-6th, the State of Kuwait will celebrate in commemoration of this national event. KARS will participate by operating actively during these three days and it is pleased to invite all licensed radio amateurs around the world to take part. The callsign allocated for this event is 9K2LOW (LOW: Last Oil Well). Contacts will be made on any band and any mode. There will be special QSL cards, the requests of which should be addressed directly to 9K2RA. (KB8NW/OPDX October 23/BARF-80 via John Norfolk, OKCOK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** KUWAIT. Was missing around 2000 on 11990 Oct. 22. Don't know if this is old news, or perhaps a one time event. 73, (Ivan Grishin, Ont., DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** PERÚ. Harmonic: 13564v, Oct 22, Radio Ondas del Pacífico, (6782 x 2), noted 2305-0215+, 343, featuring Peruvian Folk music (Yimber Gaviria, Colombia, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** PERÚ. 4388.8, RADIO MI ESTEREO. 2355-0030 OCT. 21: The correct name of this station is RADIO MI ESTEREO; I heard several ID's with this name clearly. I think that makes reference to stereophonic sound systems. For listeners in other languages the name could sound like Radio MIsterio. "... Radio Mi Estéreo, la nueva decana del Norte..."; " ..Aquí, allá y en todas partes siempre escuchas Radio Mi Estéreo, tu mejor compañía..."; "...En el norte del Perú, Radio MI Estéreo a tu lado..." " Atención, a partir de las 8 de la noche viene el programa de Dios, La Voz de la Salvación, órgano informativo de la Iglesia Pentecostal La Cosecha, La Voz de la Salvación como siempre en Radio MI Estéreo..." 4410.3, RADIO LA VOZ DE LA ALABANZA 1010-1103 OCT. 22: This is a new Peruvian station reported first by Hodgson via Mohrmann; not present any local programs, only evangelic programs from USA, as El Mensaje del Hermano Pablo, and Pastor Mario Miranda. The programation is very similar to Radio Cultural Amauta in 4955. The only ID heard is: "...1470 kHz A.M. La Voz de la Alabanza con el mensaje transformador de Cristo...". No TC, No Advs, No ments any city. Not heard in the evenings. [1470?! Therefore a third harmonic, tho perhaps deliberate if so strong; I`ve yet to hear it -gh] Rafael, Thanks for another excellent report! I have one question about 4410.3 -- Are you sure it is Peruvian rather than Bolivian? I ask only because the frequency is so close to what used to be R. Eco. Maybe hearing it as late as 1100 rules out Bolivia? ``1470`` means this may well be a third harmonic, perhaps intentional? 73, (Glenn to RRR) It had not occurred to me it could be a harmonic. At night there is R. Eco. From what I have heard I am inclined to think that this one is Peruvian, but without being certain, since at the time I have listened, Bolivia never comes in well, while Peru is heard like a ton of bricks, and this signal was very good; I heard it until what seemed like sign-off, not a fadeout. I say this because I have found that several stations operate only an hour or two in the morning and return around 4 pm, and there are some that say they sign on at 1000 UT but actually do so after 1100 or 1130. In any event, I`ll keep on the trail of this one (Rafael Rodríguez R., Bogotá, Oct 23 reply to gh, translated; his report continues:) [see DOMINICAN REPUBLIC?!] 4655, UNID PERUVIAN Tent. name CONDOR RADIANTE LA RADIO. 0037- 0110 OCT. 21: New Peruvian station, noted with test transmissions.
