LATEST New Frequency Discoveries!


5865   FRANCE.  R. Algerienne - Issoudun. Noted at 0605 with Qu'ran in a service to WAf. NF and a weak signal on Nov 26.

5910   UNITED ARAB EMIRATES.  BBC - Dhabayya. Dari service 1845, NF and // 5875, both freqs are well heard on Nov 27.

5945   OMAN.  BBC - A'Seela. English to ME at 1850, NF ex 7375 to s/off 1900. Appears not to be a great move considering that Romania is DRM on 5940 also in English to WEu at that time!

9745   EGYPT.  R. Cairo - Abis. Raspy Turkish service to ME at 1830, weak and with the usual appalling audio but now on an NF - can't hear anything on 9280 so I believe it's ex that one on Nov 27.

9885   EGYPT.  R. Cairo - Abis. The Russian distortion service at 1940, complete with many moments of unexplained disappearing tricks on Nov 27. NF and believed to be ex 9685. Finally signed off…..or just collapsed……at 2005.

NEW! VOACAP ONLINE TOOLS FOR SHORTWAVE LISTENERS

Image
  NEW! VOACAP ONLINE TOOLS FOR SWL For many years now, I have been using the  VOACAP propagation tools for both my amateur radio and shortwave listening activities. These fabulous resources help me understand the signal paths from transmitter sites anywhere in the world to my home QTH.   They also allow forward predictions of likely propagation given frequencies, antenna types, time of year, time of day, sunspot numbers, short- and long-path conditions, local noise levels, and many other qualifiers.  These tools have recently undergone an upgrade to their user interface, starting with the amateur radio propagation charts. Now, the tools designed explicitly for shortwave listeners are available for you to enjoy. I have had access to the new SWL features for a while and have watched them being refined over recent months. Now, these tools are available to all listeners. But, rather than me banging on about the features of VOACAP, below is the official announcement from ...

WHICH ANTENNA WIRE FOR SHORTWAVE LISTENING?

Image
  WHICH ANTENNA WIRE  FOR SHORTWAVE LISTENING? I often see questions asked in Facebook groups and other forums regarding whether different types of antenna wire make any difference to the reception of shortwave signals at the receiver. For example, is copper wire better than aluminium, better than steel, etc? Another question often raised concerns the diameter of the wire used, i.e. would a thicker wire pick up more signal? I have to say that, in many informal tests of hanging different types of antennas over the years, I have found no measurable difference in the kind of wire used or in the diameter of the wire. There doesn't seem to be any noticeable difference in signal strength or quality of reception. My admittedly unscientific tests show no conclusive findings, so it is something that I just don't worry about. Any wire type or size will work for shortwave listening purposes. This is good news because we don't need to spend heaps of money on expensive wire. There is no...

THE MYANMAR BROADCASTING SCENE

Image
  THE MYANMAR BROADCASTING SCENE Shortwave still makes up an essential part of the media landscape in Myanmar. However, confusion can sometimes arise when discussing the range of services operating in the country and broadcasts targeted directly to the Myanmar people by external stations. The following information may be helpful. There are two national or government-operated networks plus one station (also two networks) under the control of the country's military.  NATIONAL STATIONS : The first is the Myanma Radio National Service on 5985 and 9730 kHz in Burmese with 50 kW transmitters in Yangon, the country's former capital, until 2006. The schedule is: 0130-1130 on 9730 in Burmese 1130-1730 on 5985 in Burmese 2300-0130 on 5985 in Burmese and occasionally in English. The second is Myanma Radio's Minorities Service on 5915v kHz from 2330 to 1400 UTC via a 50kW transmitter. It can be heard in Karen, Shan, Mon and other local languages. The transmitter site for the Minoriti...
