グアムのKTWR局より送信されているKTWR日本語放送フレンドシップラジオより、4月18日の受信に対するeQSLが届きました。今回は信号強度もフェーディングも安定しており、ときおりノイズフロアが上昇する程度。良好でした。カードデザインはリスナーさん提供写真の「鉱石ラジオ」。電源を特に使わず、空中の電波を受信したエネルギーだけでイヤホンが鳴る不思議なラジオですね。

The eQSL for the reception on April 18 has arrived from the KTWR Japanese Broadcast Friendship Radio sent from the KTWR station in Guam. This time, the signal strength and fading are stable, and the noise floor sometimes rises. It was good. The card design is "Crystal Radio" in the photo provided by the listener. It's a mysterious radio that sounds earphones only with the energy of receiving radio waves in the air without using a power source.

<<Remarks>>
カードデザインは首都の中央広場であるスフバートル広場。広場の北側に政府庁舎。放送はとても強力な信号強度でしたが、送信設備の老朽化の影響か、過変調気味に音声が歪んでしまっているのがとても残念です。しかし、モンゴルポップスを聴ける良い音源であることに変わりはありません。

--- Auto Translation ---
The card design is Sukhbaatar Square, which is the central square of the capital. The government building is on the north side of the square. The received broadcast had a very strong signal strength, but it is a pity that the audio is distorted due to overmodulation due to the aging of the transmitting equipment. However, it is still a good sound source for listening to Mongolian pop music.

LOG: CNR-5 The Voice of the Taiwan Strait (中央広播電視総台 台海之声) - 5925kHz

I received CNR-5 The Voice of the Taiwan Strait (ex. The Voice of China) from Beijing in China.

CNR5 The Voice of the Taiwan Strait (中央広播電視総台 台海之声) - 5925kHz

Memo: This station is renewal station opened at March 24, 2021. SA called "Zhōngyāng guǎngbò diànshì zǒng Tái táihǎi zhī shēng"

When searching the shortwave band these days, CNR (China National Radio) can be received at many frequencies. CNR is divided into several categories, and programs are produced according to each purpose.  Among them, I got information that CNR-5 (The Voice of China) was renamed to "The Voice of the Taiwan Strait" from March 24th last month. At that time, it was received at 9665kHz.  I was able to confirm the broadcast, but there was a bit of interference.  So this time, I tried to receive the start of broadcasting at 5925kHz of Para.  The reception condition is very good, and the SA can be clearly confirmed as "Zhōng yāng guǎng bò diàn shì zǒng Tái tái hǎi zhī shēng".

昨今の短波帯をサーチしていると、至るところで受信できるCNR（China National Radio）。CNR-1、CNR-2、・・・と、いくつものカテゴリ分けがされていて、それぞれの目的に沿った番組が制作されているようです。その中でCNR-5（The Voice of China：中華之声) が先月3月24日から「The Voice of the Taiwan Strait：台海之声」に改称したとの情報を先月末にいただきました。その時に9665kHzで受信して確認はできていたのですが、少し混信がキツかったので、今回はパラの5925kHzで、放送開始時を狙ってみました。受信状態は大変良好で、SAも「中央広播電視総台 台海之声（Zhōngyāng guǎngbò diànshì zǒng Tái táihǎi zhī shēng）」と、はっきり確認することができます。

The opening is the song of the Kookaburra. It's a very nostalgic sound for old SWL fans.

今朝のRead Beyond Australia（旧HCJB）日本語放送は、Winter SWL Festの様子をJSWCの大武さんと小原栄さんでZoom対談したものでしたね。Kununurra送信所からの19mbは、A21シーズンもとても強力に当地横浜に届いています。
ところでこの放送のオープニングには、ずいぶん前からワライカワセミの鳴き声が使われています。短波のフェーディングとのノイズの向こうから聞こえてくるワライカワセミの鳴き声は、私や我妻を含め、BCLブームを経験したお年頃の方にはとても懐かしいサウンドですので、一度は記録に残しておきたいな～と思っていました。ちょうどよい機会でしたので、ここにアップしておきます。

The BBC World Service from the Woofferton transmission station in England and this broadcast described in short-wave.info etc. are actually relayed from Ascension Island, an isolated island in the South Atlantic Ocean, on the BBC homepage. I was able to confirm it in the schedule and the list of HFCC. I am grateful to Mr. Yoneda for pointing this out.

Memo: China Radio International's very strong carrier wave began at 2058 UTC.

click to listening (link to YouTube)

The A21 schedule period started this week, and this morning (Japan), I finally calmed down and listened to the radio. Well, I was searching for 41mb, wondering where to listen to the broadcast. Then, at 7325kHz, which I often see at China Radio International and Radio Romania International, a live talk with a strong signal came out and I often heard the word "Nigeria". It was a Hausa broadcast of VOA-Voice of America from Sao Tome and Principe.
It's nostalgic, I once reported directly to the Sao Tome transmission office and issued a QSL card.
However, from 2058 UTC, the strong carrier wave of CRI English broadcasting began to appear at the same frequency, and I could not hear the announcement and IS at the end of the VOA program. At the next opportunity, I would like to listen to the start of the 2030 UTC broadcast.
A21が始まって、ようやく落ち着いてラジオに向き合えた今朝。さて、どこから聞いてみようかな～と41mbをダイアルでグリグリしていたら、China Radio InternationalやRadio Romania Internationalでよく目にする 7325kHz で、何やら強力な信号のライブトークが流れてきて「ナイジェリア」を多発。VOA-Voice of AmericaのサントメプリンシペからのHausa語放送でした。懐かしいですね、かつてサントメの送信所に直接レポートして、QSLを発行していただきました。ただ、05:58JSTから、やっぱり同波のCRI英語放送の超強力なキャリアが出始めて、番組終了時のアナウンスは潰されてしまいました。次は05:30JSTの放送開始時を狙ってみたいと思います。
