Fortunately today we were able to get the<br>Battle Creek Special up so we'll be on 80 and 160 tonight. We'll be adding information on these<br>new ways to hear Radio Netherlands as they're rolled out. According to Kevin Potter, general manager of KRIG, ``We're proud and<br>excited to be in the forefront of bringing this new technology to our<br>listeners. When VC quit playing music itself and was talking, the station under<br>seemed to be the African music jammer; 1346 it was hilife, and could<br>also detect slight bubble jamming, but very strong VC always on top;<br>1400 new ID as ``CVC, La Voz`` and news. Bob<br>Allphin, K4UEE, and Ralph Fedor, K0IR, are the co-leaders of the 3Y0X<br>effort (ARRL main page via John Norfolk, dxldyg via DXLD)<br><br>So far no luck hearing 3Y0X; e.g., Feb 9 around 1400 checked the 7,<br>14, 18 and 21 MHz frequencies, but no trace. The media section will in future be focusing on news and<br>background analysis.The focus of Radio Netherlands is now very much on<br>reaching new, younger listeners who will access our material via new<br>digital devices, not shortwave. Hi Glenn, I am not entirely sure which weeks Rhoen uses my reports; I<br>just mail them each week from here. For a long time, I hoped so, but with the<br>disappearance of so much programming from shortwave, where's the<br>content? Best<br>Wishes (Christopher Lewis, England, Feb 9, DX LISTENING DIGEST)<br><br>But that is dated for the A-04 season, and the single English<br>broadcast listed is at 1600. Since that happens to be the time when I<br>am checking this Feb 9, I try to run the embedded player, but it just<br>goes from ``Connecting to Media`` back to ``Ready``. The regulations also apply to foreign music shows featuring what the<br>rules call indecent performances" and foreign shows<br>featuring "sadistic scenes."<br><br>The new rules were approved in November, but after an outcry by<br>media companies and lawmakers, the government and parliament<br>postponed implementing them for two months.

RSPDT2 Maluku Tengah in Masohi (800<br>watts) appeared on 3578 from 1995 till August 1996, but has not been<br>heard by DX-ers since then!And I don't really care. I'm told that one of my new functions is to be the "eyes and<br>ears" of Radio Netherlands - so I'm taking extra care not to break my<br>glasses! It appears that the SPLAJ is trying to cover all the bases against<br>Saut al-Amal, with the Arabic music jammer on 17660, one of its own<br>overt services on 17670, and the African music jammer on 17680. I can<br>only assume that Amal was buried on 17680 on this date, as there was<br>no sign of it on 17660 or 17670, or anywhere in between. 090206.htm<br>73 (Trevor M5AKA, monitoring monthly yg via DXLD)<br><br>I guess Peter One would appreciate it if we look for updates at<br>Southgate rather than their own site, to conserve bandwidth.

Signal strength is just S1-2, and the transmitter sounds<br>very remote. At 1100 the signal was swallowed by QRM, so no ID<br>was heard. Today Thu Feb 9 at 1025 UT, 9965 kHz is heard again but much more QRM-<br>ed. Never heard any announcement, tho could<br>have missed one as I was tuning back and forth.
