I was in the Warrandyte State Park, about 25 mins from here, on Sunday January 31, a fiercely hot day of around 35 degrees!
I was doing some gold prospecting around the old mines of the 1870s, on the top of South Hill, next to Fiddler’s Gully.
No nuggets found, but propagation was excellent in the window 0300 to 0400 on 11 MHz, early afternoon, with shortpath Asia and longpath Africa dominating.

Feb 2nd at 1430 noted a weak station on 4930. Mode was carrier plus lower side band, just like
Turkmen Radio usually had in the past. Too weak to get an ID. Today the 3rd at the same time the signal was a bit better and the language sounds Turkmen. The buzzy AIR signal on 5015 prevented me to check that frequency and I forgot to check it after AIR s/off.

VOA and Radio Marti Expand Radio Broadcasts to Latin America
Washington, DC, 02/03/2010
“A Fondo” is a new weeknight, Spanish-language radio program targeted to audiences in Latin America and the Caribbean, providing vital news and information to a region where media freedom is under attack.
With anchors at Voice of America studios in Washington, D.C. and the studios of Radio Marti in Miami, Fl., the hour-long program utilizes the unique resources of both entities to provide local, national and international news reports to audiences throughout the region. Call-in segments and interviews with experts and government officials will provide facts and opinions that are currently unavailable to listeners.
“A Fondo” (In Depth) debuted Feb. 1 at 8 p.m. EST (0100 UTC). It is available on shortwave, medium-wave, satellite and Internet at (http://www.voanews.com/spanish/news/.) It airs Monday to Friday. The program was developed in response to Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez’s decision to shut down cable and satellite TV channels last month for failing to broadcast a speech he made. The Venezuelan Government said the stations, including Radio Caracas Television (RCTV), failed to comply with new regulations mandating coverage of Chavez. Protests erupted after RCTV was shuttered.
“The media crackdown in Venezuela demonstrates the need for accurate, reliable and comprehensive news and information to audiences throughout the region. This program will help serve that need,” said Alberto Mascaro, director of VOA’s Latin America Division.
The Broadcasting Board of Governors is an independent federal agency, supervising all U.S. government-supported, civilian international broadcasting, whose mission is to promote freedom and democracy and to enhance understanding through multimedia communication of accurate,
objective, and balanced news, information, and other programming about America and the world to audiences overseas. BBG broadcasting organizations include the Voice of America, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, the Middle East Broadcasting Networks (Alhurra TV and Radio Sawa), Radio Free Asia, and the Office of Cuba Broadcasting (Radio and TV Marti).

Budget cuts quiet Voice of America
By Ginger Livingston
The Daily Reflector
Wednesday, February 3, 2010
The federal government wants to close the Voice of America transmission site located in Pitt County.
President Obama?s Fiscal Year 2011 budget for the Broadcasting Board of Governors recommends funding increases to update satellite and other broadcasting technology. But the improvements come at the loss of the Pitt County Voice of America site and reductions in engineering staffing.

Hello, everyone! I don’t know how many of you have seen it, but there is a tribute page now on Facebook for Willis Conover, longtime jazz host on the Voice of America, often called the “World’s Favorite American” and one of the legends of international broadcasting. The site is run by his grand-niece, Claire Conover. I just found it a short while ago, became a fan, and posted a message. To check it out or to become a fan, here is where to go:

February 14 with be the Chinese New Year. This will be the year of the Tiger. It is an opportunity to hear and identify numerous Chinese stations which will be carrying a relay of the CNR-1 (China National Radio) programming of the New Year’s festivities. Last year I was able to catch PBS Hulun Buir, China Huayi BC and Voice of Strait, all in parallel with CNR-1 programming, from about 1320 to 1440 UT. The New Year’s program consists of live coverage of a variety show, with a wide range of entertainment (long comedy segments, traditional Chinese music and singing, sounds of the audience applauding and laughing, etc.). I imagine that this year will result in the same massive coverage. Because so many frequencies will be parallel, it should be fairly easy to identify them. Also please be aware that this same New Year’s
programming via CNR-1 will also be used for jamming of such stations as the Sound of Hope, etc. It is very helpful to check with the Aoki frequency list to determine if one is hearing a “real” CNR-1 broadcast or just one used for jamming.
China is not the only country to celebrate the New Year on that day. Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Vietnam and Mongolia are some of the other countries that also observe the Lunar New Year. Is
worth checking on stations from these countries to see if they also have any special programming.
The first of May will mark the start of Expo 2010 in Shanghai. It is anticipated that the number of people attending this event will be the highest number ever in the history of the World’s Fair. When I was last in Shanghai (2008); there were already massive building projects under way related to the Expo 2010 (new buildings, new underground subway lines, etc.). There is no question that China sees this as an extremely important event, to showcase their booming economy. I have already started to hear lengthy items about it on the English program “Holy Tibet” via Xizang PBS-Lhasa.
It would seem logical that China will be focusing on projecting their global presence during this important year. It may help explain why they have now started numerous identifications in English on their CNR-1 evening news. Perhaps we will observe SW activities relating to Expo 2010 Shanghai, so please keep an ear out for anything new.
Wish you good listening!

Thanks to Sei-ichi Hasegawa (NDXC) of Japan for his comments that the Lunar New Year is generally not that important in Japan and “it is used at the festival of the Shinto shrines. Therefore there are no special broadcasts in Japan.”
Whereas in China, the Spring Festival that celebrates the Lunar New Year is the most important holiday of the whole year. I should have mentioned that the special coverage by CNR-1 will be on February 13, their local New Year’s Eve, from probably sometime before 1320 UT to after 1440 UT.

February 14 with be the Chinese New Year. This will be the year of the Tiger. It is an pportunity to hear and identify numerous Chinese stations which will be carrying a relay of the CNR-1 (China National Radio) programming of the New Year’s festivities. Last year I was able to catch PBS Hulun Buir, China Huayi BC and Voice of Strait, all in parallel with CNR-1 programming, from about 1320 to 1440 UT. The New Year’s program consists of live coverage of a variety show, with a wide range of entertainment (long comedy segments, traditional Chinese music and singing, sounds of the audience applauding and laughing, etc.). I imagine that this year will result in the same massive coverage. Because so many frequencies will be parallel, it should be fairly easy to identify them. Also please be aware that this same New Year’s programming via CNR-1 will also be used for jamming of such stations as the Sound of Hope, etc. It is very helpful to check with the Aoki frequency list to determine if one is hearing a “real” CNR-1 broadcast or just one used for jamming.
China is not the only country to celebrate the New Year on that day. Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Vietnam and Mongolia are some of the other countries that also observe the Lunar New Year. Is worth checking on stations from these countries to see if they also have any special programming.
Wish you good listening!

I received a note from WWCR’s Operational Manasger in Nashville that the long established channel of 5070 has been replaced by 4775, 2300-1200.
This is to avoid interference problems notified to the FCC.
This means that our weekly Australian DX Report will be now be heard on 4775, 0300-0315 on Sundays (UTC), for the Americas. There is a repeat on Mondays from 1230-1300 on 15825, for Africa.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=”Windows-1252″
On Friday February 5, 2010, I witnessed a remarkable daytime propagation mode event from Asia on 7 MHz and 9 MHz, between 0300 and 0400, which is 1 pm to 2 pm here in Melbourne.
This propagation was via the complex multi-hop Daytime Mode, with transmission path distances looking like this:
Malaysia 6070 km; Thailand 7360 km ; Vietnam 7700 km ; Myanmar 7930 km ; China 9100 km ; Japan 8230 km ; Sri Lanka 8359 km ; N. Korea 8749 km ; India 10080 km ; Uzbekistan 11655 km ; Iran 12059 km
The event was characterised by strong signals from many Chinese regional broadcasters on their daytime channels, some never or rarely audible here!
This dispels the myth that long-haul mid-summer propagation up to 12000 km on 7 and 9 MHz requires a darkness path, for my reception zone here in Melbourne!
Monitoring was at one of my favourite field sites, at a place known as South Hill, in the Warrandyte State Park, 20 km east of the Melbourne CBD, using the little Eton E5, with about 5 m of random antenna tossed into a bushfire-blackened tree. This is in the former goldmining area, where gold was first discovered in 1851. Sorry, no nuggets, but I’ll keep looking!
This is the summary of key occupancies, audible in the window 0300 to 0400:
