Monitoring Mongolia's longwave frequencies

 

July 4, 2023

I am currently watching the Novokuzhnetsk SDR with the intention of observing the Mongolian LW frequencies.

227 came on with a weak signal at 22:06 UTC before falling away two minutes later.

A short time later at 22:10, one or more of the 209 transmitters powered up. This is still visible at 22:16.

The main transmitter on 164 hasn’t shown up at all. From monitoring this particular SDR on a nightly basis for the past two weeks, the 164 seems to suffer from false-starts on power-up, as in it seems to take more than one attempt to get it online as the carrier appears and disappears several times before becoming steady.

So far I have not heard the interval music to signify the start of the day’s broadcasting. This is usually audible at around 22:06 UTC.

MNB has seen my message enquiring about the current status of the LW transmitters but for whatever reason has not replied as of yet.

I will keep observing for the next hour or so and inform you of any updates,

Argentina's AM technicical issues

 

In the last few days, several technical problems have been reported that caused the air output of some AM stations operating from the AMBA area (Area Múltiple Buenos Aires). For example, Eco Radio AM 1220 (1220 KHz) is not being reported active, the only station that owns its transmitting antenna in the territory of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires.

LR9 Radio Perfil (1190 KHz) is also not being heard, due to adjustments to its Transmitter Plant located on the Campus of the National University of Lomas de Zamora.

Also not heard for a few days Radio La Más Santiagueña (1160 KHz) at Gregorio de Laferrere, Partido de La Matanza; and Radio Imagen (1310 KHz) at Castelar, Partido de Moron. Also Radio Creativa (1230 kHz), with the radiating system located in Valentín Alsina, Partido de Lanús is not received; as well as the evangelical religious station Radio Zorobabel (1540 KHz) from Monte Grande, Partido de Esteban Echeverría.

Voice of Vietnam's mediumwave developments

 

Voice Of Vietnam continues the development of medium waves to increase coverage of the country, neighboring countries and maritime and island areas.

Two new transmitters went into service on January 15. These two transmitters broadcast VOV1 on 693kHz and VOV2 on 819kHz.

Transmitters are GatesAir Flexiva AM/DRM compatible semiconductors. With 2 x 200 kW, listeners from the central high plateau and surrounding regions as well as overseas Vietnamese from northeast Cambodia can easily listen to the Voice of Vietnam radio programs.

A little over a year ago, VOV had put into operation, a broadcasting station from the South Central Region, for the East Sea region and the South Central coastal provinces. The radio station is located on an area of 16 hectares, in Phuoc Dinh commune, Thuan Nam district, Ninh Thuan province. The station has a power of 400 kw and broadcasts at 1071 kHz. The transmitter is a Nautel ready to convert to DRM digital radio. Like many countries in Asia, the conversion to DRM to medium-wave and VHF is now the order of the day more than ever.

FCC opens public comments on shortwave modernization coalition

 

The FCC has opened for public comment the Petition for Rulemaking of the Shortwave Modernization Coalition.

The proposal would bring new private, non-broadcast digital stations to the high-frequency spectrum.

The Coalition members have performed HF experiments over the last several years. Favorable FCC action on the proposal would open the field to regular commercial operations.

The FCC has assigned the petition number RM-11953. Comments are due in 30 days.

Highlights of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity 26 June - 02 July 2023

Solar activity was generally at R1 (Minor) levels until 02 Jul when R3 (Strong) levels were reached. Weak M-class activity was observed from Regions 3340 (N20, L=234, class/area Eki/350 on 26 Jun) on 26-28 Jun, Region 3354 (N15, L=168, class/area Fkc/1150 on 02 Jul) on 29 Jun and Region 3359 (S22, L=068, class/area Dai/060 on 02 Jul) on 01-02 Jul. Region 3354 produced an X1 flare at 02/2314 UTC. No Earth-directed CMEs were observed during the period. 

No proton events were observed at geosynchronous orbit.

The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit was at high levels on 27 Jun through 02 Jul with a maximum flux of 3,510 pfu observed at 28/1555 UTC. 

Geomagnetic field activity was at mostly quiet to isolated unsettled levels throughout the period. A brief interval of active levels was observed the latter half of 29 Jun due to a solar sector crossing

from a negative to a positive sector. 

Forecast of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity 03 July - 29 July 2023

Solar activity is expected to be at low to R1-R2 (Minor-Moderate) levels throughout the forecast period. 

No proton events are expected at geosynchronous orbit.

The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit is expected to reach high levels on 03-06 Jul and 14-29 Jul due to CH HSS influence. 

Geomagnetic field activity is expected to reach unsettled levels on 04-05 Jul, unsettled to active levels on 09-10 Jul with G1-G2 (Minor-Moderate) levels likely on 12-13 Jul due to recurrent CH HSS

activity. Quiet to unsettled levels are expected on 14-29 Jul.

Shortwave Radiogram, Program 308

 

Hello friends

As I type this, the Washington DC area is in a Code Red situation for the smoke and haze from the Canadian wildfires. Many of you in North America are in a similar situation. It does look hazy outside, but not as bad as our Code Purple a few weeks ago. With our temperature now 85F/29C, I would usually leave the windows open. But they are now closed to keep the bad air out. 

One of our news stories this weekend is about research showing that a regular daytime naps are associated with healthier and larger brains. On Thursdays, I am usually awake at about 3 am to produce Shortwave Radiogram, finishing at about noon. By then, a two-hour nap is obligatory, after which I start this weekly email. It's good to know my daytime naps may have a benefit. (I knew I would become a daytime napper in the year or two before I retired, occasionally nodding off briefly at my desk.) 

A video of last weekend's Shortwave Radiogram (program 310) is provided by Scott in Ontario. The audio archive is maintained by Mark in the UK. The analysis is provided by Roger in Germany.

Here is the lineup for Shortwave Radiogram, program 311, 29 June-4 July 2023, in MFSK modes as noted:

 1:40  MFSK32: Program preview

 2:48  MFSK32: Bigger bottles keep champagne bubbly for decades*

 8:07  MFSK64: Regular daytime naps linked to healthier brains

11:39  MFSK64: This week's images*

27:40  MFSK32: Closing announcements

QSLing WBCQ

 

On the WBCQ (Worlds Last Chance) website (heard here recently on 9330khz) they say: 

"We issue QSL cards for verified reception reports. QSL cards are issued for reception reports via postal mail only. Please include a self-addressed stamped envelope with your request."

But... I live in the UK, I emailed them at this address: wbcq@wbcq.com... they then replied back with this address: lee@worldslastchance.com and asked me to go and fill a form in here: https://www.worldslastchance.com/wlc-radio/qsl - and they would send the QSL after that.

So... I filled in the form... and within seconds of submitting it I got a return email with a link to download the e-QSL.

I'll send a full QSL report in for the magazine, but I thought I'd attach the QSL for all to see ??

So... if you want a QSL from WBCQ... don't email them - just go straight here:  https://www.worldslastchance.com/wlc-radio/qsl and fill the form in - they even want the full SINPO ratings - bless them ??

Highlights of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity 19 - 25 June 2023

Solar activity ranged from low to high levels. Low levels were observed on 23 and 25 Jun. Moderate levels were observed on 19, 21-22, and 24 Jun whereas high levels were observed on 20 Jun. Region 3341 (S16, L=207, class/area Cso/200 on 23 Jun) was responsible for the majority of the M-class activity along with an X1.1 Tenflare (480 sfu at 2695 MHz) at 20/1709 UTC which had associated Type II (1057 km/s) and Type IV radio sweeps along with a CME off the Eastern limb at 20/1712 UTC. WSA/ENLIL analysis indicated the potential for a grazing blow late on 23 Jun to early on 24 Jun. Region 3341 produced a total of four M1 flares and one X1 flare. Regions 3337 (N20, L=262, class/area Cso/120 on 21 Jun), 3340 (N23, L=233, class/area Ekc/300 on 25 Jun), and 3342 (S22, L=343, class/area Dao/070 on 20 Jun) also contributed to M-class flare activity. Region 3340 produced an M4 at 22/2344 UTC with associated Type II (534 km/s) and IV radio sweeps along with an associated CME off the SE limb at 23/0414 UTC. The CME was determined to not have an Earth-directed component. Region 3340 developed a Beta-Delta magnetic configuration on 25 Jun as moderate growth and consolidation were observed. 

No proton events were observed at geosynchronous orbit.

The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit reached high levels on 19-20 and 22-24 Jun due to CH HSS influence. The peak flux was 2,550 pfu observed at 22/1540 UTC. 

Geomagnetic field activity ranged from quiet to G1 (Minor) storm levels. Quiet to unsettled levels were observed from 19-23 Jun as solar wind parameters remained slightly enhanced between 390-485 km/s and total field ranged from 5-8 nT. On 24-25 Jun, solar wind parameters became enhanced, possibly due to the aforementioned CME from the X1 flare. Total field ranged from 5-12 nT while solar wind speed values increased to nearly 535 km/s. The geomagnetic field responded with active to G1 (Minor) storming late on 24 Jun through early on 25 Jun. 

Forecast of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity 26 June - 22 July 2023

Solar activity is expected to be at low to moderate levels on 26

Jun-22 Jul. 

No proton events are expected at geosynchronous orbit.

The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit is expected to reach high levels on 14-21 Jul due to CH HSS influence. 

Geomagnetic field activity is expected to reach unsettled or active levels on 26 Jun-03 Jul, 8-9 Jul, and 12-22 Jul with G1 (Minor storm levels likely on 12 Jul and G2 (Moderate) levels likely on 13 Jul due to recurrent CH HSS activity.

Yes -- you read that right -- it's shows not show -- as we will have two different shows in the lead-up to Canada Day!

Hi --

I am Tony, the host and general does-it-all at Pop Shop Radio from Canada as heard on WRMI and Channel 292, This year we will have two special shows airing to celebrate Canada0Day. 

The first will be our regular show which airs as follows:

Channel 292: Wed 28 June at 1600 UT and Sat 1 July at 2100 UT on 3955 and 9670 (10 kW)

WRMI: Sunday 2 July at 9PM ET (0100 UT Monday) on 5950 (100 kw)

This show will countdown the C-FUNTASTIC 20 from 14-CFUN Vancouver for 1 July 1967 complete with classic 14-CFUN jingles

The theme of this show was decided way before Bell Media's announcement that the station at the old 14-CFUN frequency would be going dark. 14-CFUN may be dead, but it won't lie down!

The second show will air as follows

Woofferton UK: Saturday 1 July 0100 UT (9 PM ET Friday) on 15715 beamed to N America (308 degrees) at 250 kilowatts

Channel292: Sun 2 July at 1900 UT on 6070 (10 kw)

All Canadian content complete with jingles from great Canadian Top 40 stations of the past like CKLW and CHUM

So mark your calendars! Tune in and celebrate Canada's 156 birthday around the world on Shortwave.
