WORLD RADIO TV HANDBOOK 2014

World Radio TV Handbook or WRTH is now in its 68th year. It is the most accurate and complete guide to the world of radio on LW, MW, SW and FM, available in any form.
It is divided into the following sections
Features - This section is in full colour and contains reviews of receivers and ancillary equipment, articles on topical issues such as digital radio, interviews with broadcasters, reception conditions, colour maps showing the location of SW transmitters, and other topics of interest to Listeners and DXers.
National Radio - This section covers the world's domestic radio services. The listings are by country and include all stations broadcasting on LW, MW and SW, and most stations broadcasting on FM, together with contact details.
International Radio - Full details of all broadcasters transmitting internationally are given in this section and are listed by country. The schedules shown are the 'B' or 'winter' SW frequencies as supplied by the broadcasters and confirmed by monitoring, together with any LW or MW frequencies used. It also contains a sub-section showing Clandestine and Other Target Broadcasters arranged by target country. The 'A' or 'summer' schedules, along with updates to broadcaster details, are available as a pdf download from this website in May each year. Please note - International broadcast SW frequencies change twice a year. The 'B' season comes into effect at the end of October each year and the 'A' season at the end of March. It typically takes 4-6 weeks after the start of the season for the broadcasters to settle on the final frequencies they will use, although changes do continue to be made. We monitor all the frequencies and changes before releasing our information.
Frequency Lists - This section contains MW frequency lists grouped by frequency within regions, lists of all international and domestic SW broadcasts in frequency order, and international SW broadcasts in English, French, German, Portuguese and Spanish, and DRM transmissions shown by UTC.
Television - The TV section has details of the main terrestrial national broadcasters, large regional networks, and some local stations, arranged alphabetically by country.
Reference - This section has tables and listings of: International and Domestic Transmitter sites, Standard Time and Frequency Transmissions, DX Club information, International Organisations, and other essential information.

VOA Radiogram - Transmitter difficulties at 0930 UTC

La mail di Kim

-------- Messaggio originale --------
Oggetto: Transmitter difficulties at 0930 UTC
Data: Sat, 28 Dec 2013 10:09:47 +0000
Mittente: VOA Radiogram <radiogram@voanews.com>
A: VOA Radiogram <radiogram@voanews.com>   

If you tried to listen to the new Saturday 0930 UTC transmission of VOA Radiogram in 5745 kHz, thanks!
Obviously there were problems at the transmitter site.  The transmitter was off and on during the half hour, and only a few brief bits of program audio were heard until about 0953, when everything finally operated normally.

I did hear the successful part via the Netherlands SDR receiver, and so did Giuliano in Italy.

Let's hope for better luck next weekend.

Meanwhile, we still have three transmissions this weekend:

Sat 1600-1630 17860 kHz
Sun 0230-0300 5745 kHz
Sun 1930-2000 15670 kHz

New VOA Radiogram transmission Saturday 0930-1000 UTC on 5745 kHz

Effective 28 December  2013, VOA Radiogram will add a new transmission Saturday, 0930-1000 UTC, on 5745 kHz.
Because of interesting propagation this time of day, this broadcast has a chance of being heard and decoded in the Asia/Pacific region and in northern Europe, at least this time of year.
To keep this schedule change budget-neutral, the VOA Radiogram broadcast Sunday at 1300-1330 UTC on 6095 kHz has been discontinued.
VOA Radiogram transmission schedule
(all days and times UTC)
Sat 0930-1000 5745 kHz

Perchè questo blog ?


Perché un'altro blog sulla Radio e su questo meraviglioso ed appassionante Hobby ?

Non saprei forse un regalo di Natale (vista la data di creazione) forse perchè sento che c'è ancora molto da dire su questo meraviglioso Hobby.

Non sono un giornalista neppure un opinionista ma, semplicemente un appassionato di un "passatempo" che pratico da decenni (quasi 4 !) quindi gli scritti i post saranno più di "pancia" che di "testa" ... mi scuseranno i puristi della scrittura.

La Radio a 360° anche perché ho, forse, la presunzione di voler parlare e discutere con chi ne sentirà il bisogno di Radio e della Radio sotto tutte le sue forme ed aspetti: l'ascolto (BCL-SWL) il mondo dei Radioamatori associazionismo compreso, tecniche nuove e vecchie di trasmissione dalla telegrafia (CW) alla Fonia passando anche per le tecniche Digitali.

Un sogno ? avvicinare molte, moltissime persone al mondo della Radio nell'era del computer di Internet e dei Social.


Buona Radio a Tutti !
