OM Mathias Kropf, Germany, has just released his 2008 Clandestine Activity Survey: During the year 2008 the activity of political clandestine stations broadcasting on shortwave has dropped by 5.3 % to 1251 Weekly Broadcasting Hours (WBHs). This is the result of the latest Clandestine Activity Suvey, which has been published annually since 1986. The activity of clandestine stations broadcasting to target areas on the Asian continent has decreased by 2.6 % to 915 WBHs. Activity to target areas on the American continent has remained unchanged at 215 WBHs. The activity to target areas on the African continent, where volatility has always been very high in recent years, has decreased by 27.5 % to 121 WBHs. The most active target area worldwide is now - for the first time in the history of the CAS - North Korea with 245 WBHs (+49 when compared with last year), followed by China P.R. with 224 WBHs (-16) and Cuba with 215 WBHs (unchanged). The number of different target areas active worldwide has decreased from 18 to 17, with Senegal dropping from the list of active targets. On the other hand, no new or reactivated target areas have been reported over the past 12 months. (Mathias Kropf, E-Mail <[email protected]>)

AZERBAIJAN [and non] - AZERBAIJAN SINCE THE BAN OF FOREIGN RADIO ON FM. Kai Ludwig in Germany notes that the RFE/RL Azerbaijani Service, known as Radio Azadliq, is only using one shortwave frequency, 9485 kHz, at 1600-1700 UTC, according to the RFE/RL transmission schedule
BANGLADESH - 4750 kHz is off at present. As I wondered whether Bangladesh 4750 kHz inaudible from Kolkata, India was a propagation hiccup, I got a prompt reply from the station which puts the controversy to rest: "Senior Engineer, RRC, BB, Dhaka Dear Dr Supratik Sanatani, At present 4750 kHz is in trouble. There is no other SW transmission for HS. Please try to reach 693 kHz MW." (Supratik Sanatani-IND, dxld Jan 5) 7250 is clear channel from 1330 when Vatican Radio Italian signs off, Bangladesh Betar Nepali service audible December 30 to 1345 off, local music then closing announcement, fair strength, modulation low but you could follow the programme (Mike Barraclough, Jan World DX Club Contact via DXLD) Odd channel noted today Jan 2nd: 7249.993, tentative Bangladesh at 1720 UT (wb)
BENIN - 5025 ORTB, Parakou, 1842-..., 30 Dec, Vernacular (tent), talks; 45444 but this doesn't apply to audio which was hardly audible; it was a bit better at 2015 when in Vernacular and ditto art 2200 when airing French prgr. Thanks to this, even using the CeAfr Beverage, Cuba's R. Rebelde is perceived on the background (it's mightly strong via the CAm Beverage). (Carlos Goncalves-POR, Jan 1)
BHUTAN - 6035 at 0025- UT, Bhutan Broadcasting Service Jan 1. Very good reception of Buddhist chanting for several minutes and then much lower modulation talk. I was surprised to hear them as well as I did, although during the summer and early fall, they were very well heard in our local mornings. 5
6035 at 0001- UT, Bhutan Broadcasting Service Jan 2. At tune in at 2350 UT, there is a test continuous test tone. When checked at 0000 UT there's talk by a male with an interesting horn in the background that must be Bhutan. The chanting that's usually reported as starting at 0025 UT in fact came on at 000230! Unmistakeable! As my location approaches darkness (sunset is in another 36 minutes), the signal has improved to quite good. Most interesting for sure! Conditions not as good as last night, when Bhutan was coming in at superb levels. Much weaker tonight, but still perfectly readable. (Walt Salmaniw-BC-CAN, DXplorer Jan 2)
6035, BBS, 1534-1625, Dec 31, extended New Year's Day programming (usually 1500*), in English and vernacular, man and woman DJs (these are the regular announcers I have often heard on their weekly live call-in shows) with many on-air calls with requests for dedications (asked for "All Summer Long", "More Than I Can Say", etc.), asks caller: "Where are you?", he said "Thimphu", "Thank you very much for calling, Happy New Year", playing pop and rap songs in English, best audio level I have ever heard from them. QRM from strong CNR-1 on 6030 and 6035 was totally covered at 1625 by strong sign-on of NHK. (Ron Howard, Asilomar Beach, CA, Etón E1, dxldyg via DXLD) Hi Glenn, Bhutan Broadcasting Service e-QSL received today from Sherub Tharchen ( [email protected] ) for detailed report (on 6035 kHz 0100-0145 UT on 28 December). This ends a long saga for me having heard them in English on 60mb in the early 90s.I can still remember the program details! I sent a report at the time and got a reply from a Thimphu travel agent asking me to put an ad in a local South African newspaper for him. In return he would get the station to QSL. I did this and sent him a copy but no reply. Easily heard here at this time with 100 kW. Even so, nice to have this one after all these years. Sherub also requested a posted report to: Bhutan Broadcasting Service, Chubachu, PO Box 101, Thimphu, Bhutan. (Graham Bell, Cape Town, South Africa, Dec 31, DXLD)

FRANCE - RFI RUSSIAN will continue on SHORTWAVE, at least through 2011. Sergei S. in Moscow translates this announcement from the Radio France International Russian Service: "I'd like to tell you that RFI's Russian service had its own Christmas miracle. As reported by AFP, the petition to save our SW and MW radio service reached President Sarkozy, Prime Minister Fillon, Minister of Culture Albanel and all deputies of the National Council. After that out leadership immediately announced that their decision to shut down the Russian radio service was actually under 'consideration' and that in any case our SW and MW broadcasts will continue until the end of 2011. Now we'd like to ask all our listeners to be vigilant. If you don't hear us on our usual wavelengths at usual time, please inform us immediately. Also, our leadership invited us to return to our old format of two one-hour programs daily. Right now we have two 30-min. and one 60-min. broadcast. If only you knew how much we fought in the past that we might continue with two one-hour programs! Truly, a new broom sweeps very clean in order to prove that the old one didn't do the work well" RFI Russian, 24 December 2008. Posted: 01 Jan 2009 (
GERMANY - Some changes of Media Broadcast: Voice of Croatia, cancelled txion from Jan 8 0500-0800 on 9470 WER 100 kW / 240 deg to NZ Croatian/English

New schedule for two clandestines to Ethiopia I'm not able to identify further (since I simply have lost track on all the organizations bombarding this region with shortwave broadcasts):
Something dubbed "Ethiopians for democracy" on Wed, Fri and Sun (perhaps aka. "Voice of Ethiopian Unity"?) and a certain "ELF" on Wed, both 1700-1758 UT via Nauen (running 125 kW) on 11835 kHz.
Voice of Oromo Liberation (if it's them) Thu, Tue, Sun 1600-1700 UT via Juelich has been moved to 11760 kHz as of Dec 4.
Family Radio now uses Wertachtal on 75 mb with 250 kW, 1800-2000 on 3975, starting Dec 16. Thus HCJB German 1800-1900 on 3955 had to be moved to Juelich. Hereby both sites are again on air in the 75 mb simultaneously for the first time in two years, and for the first time in AM mode for at least four years.
VOA Persian 1700-1829 UT on 9540 kHz has on Nov 25 been moved from Juelich to Nauen, running 125 kW. (Kai Ludwig-D, Dec 23)
In the new Winter schedule B08 of January 28th a lot of BVB updates are found. Also DTK PRW Ukrainian at 1600-1629/1630 UT replaced 9440 kHz by 6000WER \\ 7170WER. 1530-1600 Ukr still on 6000NAU !!! (WB)
The full Media Broadcast/DTK schedule can be found at
Radio Liberty in Azernaijani again on SW: 1600-1700 on 9485 NAU 125 kW / 103 deg to CeAs. Very good reception in BUL

Yesterday the former government acceded to the demands of Captain Camara and have recognised him as the new Head of State. Apparently there were street demonstrations in Conakry in favour of the coup. Guinea has been a very corrupt country under President Lansana Conte. Camara has promised free elections within two years, after the corruption has been cleared up. The way in which he has conducted himself since taking over, with no bloodshed, suggests to me he is genuine about wanting to improve the lives of the population. There is still international concern about what has happened, but I prefer to be optimistic. (Andy Sennitt-HOL, via dxld Dec 26)

NEW ZEALAND - New Zealand's ZLXA 3935 Goes Silent We've just heard that New Zealand shortwave station, ZLXA of the Radio Reading Service, is about to permanently sign off the air. In fact, it has already been silent since December 1 2008 and, as the following message from Kelvin Brayshaw [QSL Manager] says, the chances of it returning, except for a last special broadcast for DXers, are very unlikely. Subject: Radio Reading Service -ZLXA 3935 kHz Date: Fri, 16 Jan 2009 15:44:53 +1300 From: Kelvin Brayshaw I'm sorry to have to tell you that, in all probability, the shortwave service of the Radio Reading Service will soon be discontinued. ZLXA, 3935kHz, has been in abeyance since 1st December 2008 pending the result of a listener survey and the consideration of cost-effectiveness. The final outcome is expected to be advised following deliberations by management at the first board meeting of the year - probably in February. I feel there will be members of SWL groups who might appreciate an opportunity to log this transmitter one last time during the northern winter, and I'm sure that if you were to make a special request on behalf of shortwave listeners, RRS management would, in a continuing spirit of goodwill, consider marking an event of such significance to the worldwide DX community by resuming transmission for a brief period. In the meantime Radio Reading Service programmes are streaming on the Internet. 73 & Best DX Kelvin Brayshaw QSL Manager
According to the Radio Heritage Foundation [http://www.radioheritage.net] you can contact ZLXA Radio Reading Service by email: [email protected], or by mail to PO Box 360, Levin, New Zealand. The website is http://www.radioreading.org where you can learn more about the Shortwave Survey, about new technology options to reach listeners, and also learn more about the services provided by the station to its listeners in New Zealand. Until last month, ZLXA broadcast with 1kw on 3935 kHz shortwave. Here at the Radio Heritage Foundation, we share the disappointment of many international listeners to this news. However, we also understand the issues facing the Radio Reading Service board of management that are leading up to this decision. We encourage radio listeners worldwide to take advantage of this offer by the station to make one more shortwave broadcast before leaving the air and to stay tuned for more information as to the date and time of this last broadcast.

PALESTINE [NON] - Based on a tip posted on dxld yg by Jose Miguel Romero in Spain, who heard an unidentified station in Arabic on 5815 // 5835 kHz on 8 January 2009, Tarek Zeidan in Egypt (also via dxld yg) has identified it as being a relay of the audio feed of the Al Aqsa TV channel, matching that on the Nile Sat 7 West satellite. This is being relayed on SW presumably in support of Hamas activities in Gaza. But by whom? Iran? I tuned into a station myself on 5835.05 kHz at 2115 UTC on 9 January 2009 with emphatic speeches in Arabic and revolutionary-sounding music, which was presumably the same station, although no ID heard. It went abruptly off at 2152 UTC. Fair reception. Well worth checking 5815 and 5835 kHz in the days ahead. (Tony Rogers, Birmingham, UK, AOR 7030+ / LW (via a-dx, January 10 2009))

Radio Australia 9500 in English very weak at the same time, and a weak carrier on 9526.51, maybe Voice of Indonesia, Cimanggis (though listed as 2100*, if in fact active this time slot or maybe they left they for got to turn it off). But I also see reports of Ethiopia drifting up here, though surely not active this late. Grayline running through western Irian Jaya at this time. (Terry L Krueger-FL-USA, DXplorer Jan 3)
9541.525 SIBC, Honiara; at 0644-0719 UT on 4 Jan. Pop vocal, Aussie-ish accented English man, time check, "12 before 6 o'clock [I think]..." into seemingly contemporary Christian vocal, segued into another. Man and woman from 0659 UT, mentioning "...international news..." then SIBC interval theme, into locally- generated news (not // Radio Australia 9710 kHz), with mentions of governor, labour, Honiara, western province, Pakistan, Ghana elections. At 0708 UT, a nice, clear "This news is coming to you from the Solomon Islands Broadcasting Corporation in Honiara" by the same male presenter. More news items until conclusion at 0715 UT, then local Pidgin English talk by a different man through tune out. Clear and overall good copy. Nothing heard on 5020 kHz, if active, due to lots of splatter from Rebelde. Carrier on 7260 at the same time, but no audio and thus no idea if really Vanuatu. (Terry L Krueger-FL-USA, dxld Jan 5)
SOLOMON ISLANDS / VANUATU - RNZ's HF specialist technician Steve White just returned from Honiara. Whilst there he repaired the SIBC daytime transmitter, which had been off the air for three years; currently operating on 9540 [sic] kHz. And he also managed to get the 5020 kHz night frequency back on the air [sic] as well. Before that he was in Port Vila, Vanuatu, where VBBC are hoping to install new HF transmitters. Probably will publish frequencies they will be testing on early next year.

SYRIA - Radio Damascus News. Contrary to some news and rumours on the DX news channels [i.e., R. Bulgaria], Radio Damascus is still on air and the External services are functioning as normal. Especially these days, black days because because the horrendous conflict in Gaza, it is very interesting to listen to the news and commentaries of Radio Damascus to hear an angle on the conflict you will not hear on the BBC's and CNN's media moguls. It is true that sometimes 9330 kHz is irregular on the air because of the bad condition of the shortwave transmitter but yesterday the transmitter was definitely on the air during the German and French program at 18 and 19 hours UT respectively. According to my friends at Radio Damascus they are working on a real foreign language website which will be online (hopefully) soon. The Radio Damascus staff does highly value when you write to them with your commentaries about the programs or reception reports.

THAILAND - 12095, Radio Thailand, 0045-0102, Dec 27, English programming with review of upcoming local events. Weather. National Anthem at 0100. Chimes at 0101 followed by programming in Thai. Weak but readable. Stronger than usual (Brian Alexander, PA, DXL)
TIBET - 4905, 1629- Dec 30, Holy Tibet. Very strong reception with slightly overmodulated transmitter. Parallel 4920 (strong but with cochannel AIR), 5240 (good), 6110 (very good), 6130 (poor/fair), 6200 (very good). I also note a cochannel under 4905 sounding like a central Asian/Middle Eastern station. Any ideas? (Walt Salmaniw, Masset, QCI, BC, dxldyg via DXLD) 4905, 1630-1635 Dec 30, Holy Tibet. Thanks to Walt Salmaniw (whose Dec. 30 logging reminded me that what's listed in some sources as 'PBS Xizang' on 4905/4920 is more accurately Tibet, not China), I was able to log this one 'retroactively'. Having just returned from Grayland, I had Perseus recorded files of the 60 meterband that happened to be from the same date and timeframe when Walt was DXing. I had skipped over 4905 // 4920 initially, not realizing the frequencies were from Tibet and that English was scheduled for 1630- 1700. After I read Walt's logging I checked the portion of my Perseus WAV file for 4905 kHz at 1630, and there it was. At 1630:40 I heard a female announcer say 'Holy Tibet is the means by which you may visit the roof of the world', and she and a male announcer talked briefly about listening to the station to learn more about 'the terrain, the people, and the culture of Tibet'. Good signal, but modulation could be better (Guy Atkins, Puyallup, WA, DXing at Grayland Beach State Park, Perseus SDR X2 / Wellbrook Phased Array antenna (proto) / PA0RDT Mini-Whip at 30 ft. high,
6200, Xizang PBS - Lhasa, 1633-1646, Jan 2, "Holy Tibet" English program, news about Tibet, canned ad for the medical massage clinics in Lhasa (they speak English, Tibetan and Chinese at the clinics), segment "Eyes on Tibet" talking about the importance of Buddhism to Tibet, Tibetan chanting/singing, fair, but audio quality not the best, which is not uncommon for them (Ron Howard, Asilomar Beach, CA, Etn, E1, dxldyg via DXLD)
UGANDA - UGANDA. UBC Radio (clearly IDing as such, not the former name of Radio Uganda) was heard running a single SW transmitter on 4976/7195. 4976 often seemed remarkably weak, especially as I was listening only about 130 miles from Kampala. I'm sure it is running well below the listed 10 kW. Audio quality is also poor. I was interested to hear a very weak but clear parallel UBC signal on 909 Listed as Kampala), as I had thought that all Ugandan MW transmitters were currently inactive, awaiting renewal. I expect that once the modernisation of the MW network has been completed, UBC will close its SW service. Radio Dunamis on 4750 was heard with excellent reception in the evening (Chris Greenway, Kenya, late December, Jan BDXC-UK Communication, Jan 9, via DXLD) 4750 Dunamis R, Mukono, 1840-1902*, 30 Dec, English, religs. ballads, annoucements, Vernacular prior to abrupt closure; 25332.

*************************************************************************** Beromünster takes its leave of the airwaves by Robert Brookes
The medium wave transmitter at Beromünster in central Switzerland fell silent forever on Sunday night, 77 years and seven months after it first came into service.
For many Swiss, there will be more than a touch of sadness, as Beromünster was a household name they grew up with; it is without doubt an integral part of the country's radio history.
Look on the dial of any decent radio from the past. Beromünster features on the far right along with other great names, for example Lyons, Stuttgart, Vienna, Berlin, Monte Ceneri (southern Switzerland), AFN and Budapest. 24
With technology advancing to VHF and now DAB, the transmitter's days were numbered and the decision was made a few years ago to pull the plug on what finally was broadcasting a Swiss country music programme on 531 kHz.
Two men who "grew up" with the transmitter, technicians Hermann Weber and Hans Moser, have been looking after it in its final years. They have each clocked up 40 years of service.
"At present there are only two of us here and we do everything from being caretakers to repairing the transmitter, and we're responsible for the programme being broadcast until midnight on December 28," Weber told swissinfo.
He said he would look back on his career at Beromünster with "a little bit of nostalgia, but then a new stage in life will begin – retirement – that's also nice".
Beromünster is something of a misnomer because it is not actually located in the commune of the same name but in neighbouring Gunzwil.
It's worth remembering that at the beginning, the radio transmitter was considered great competition for the daily newspapers and that after a struggle, the transmitter broadcast only two new bulletins a day.
Then came the Second World War. There were weekly commentaries on the situation from radio legend Jean-Rodolphe von Salis, and everyone was glued not to the box but to the radio.
Beromünster was respected, not just in Switzerland, as the only independent German-language broadcaster. At 215 metres the Beromünster tower is a landmark (SR DRS - Thomas Studhalter) After the war, Beromünster was as popular as ever. The programmes were not just about national events and music, but also entertainment.
"At that time we only had a radio at home with medium wave, so we always had Beromünster on," Weber recalls.
"At 12.30pm the news came on and we all had to keep quiet. We didn't have a television then, so in the evening we listened to the stories of [Swiss author] Jeremias Gotthelf and the whole family sat in front of the radio."
Later on, Weber recalls that he had reached the "awkward adolescent age", switched off from Beromünster and tuned into Luxembourg, where there was different music.
"When our parents came into the room, they used to say: 'This music is not for you'."
Significant moments for Beromünster fans were also commentaries from Heiner Gautschi in New York and Theodor Haller in London. And there were concerts from radio orchestras in Switzerland that no longer exist.
After 40 years working at the installation, now run by Swisscom Broadcast, Weber is still very much a fan of what the transmitter broadcasts.
"When I listen to the radio, it's on the Musikwelle (mostly Swiss traditional music played by German-language Swiss radio from the transmitter). On the one hand it's to hear whether the transmitter is working (laughs), on the other I like the programme. It's varied and plays music I like."
The transmitter will die on December 28 but there are proposals to keep the installation intact as a museum. Weber is certainly not convinced about that idea.
"After the closure, I'd prefer that all the signs of the transmitter disappear. When a transmitter doesn't broadcast, it's not a transmitter anymore and there's not enough here for an interesting museum."
Weber and his colleague Moser are not giving too much away about what they will be doing when midnight strikes on Sunday.
But you may just find them in the control room drinking a glass to an old friend that has been with them for the best part of their working lives.

Dear Friends,
Welcome to the New Year edition of Logbook. Hope everybody had a nice and short holidays.
Thanks to Gerard Koopal of Almere, Netherlands, for sending me his loggings for the first time.
This year I have decided to use the code INA in my Logbook. This code which signifies Information Not Available will be used when any loggings I receive does not contain specific information like SIO Code Date or Time.
Hope members will realize that we use a particular format in our loggings which is internationally accepted and it is not for me to decipher remarks like Good signal, Weak signal into a SIO code.
Your feedback on this issue would be highly appreciated.
Till next month, Ashok Kumar Bose 29
