7145kHz lsb

WX:Cloudy, light to moderate rain, occasional thunders heard, 

0736ist>S21RW (Khulna) S9, 9N1CA (Nepal) S7 QSB, Noise Level S2-S3, at 0742ist heard breaking call of S21HA, 

0742ist>S21RW S7-S9 QSB, S21HA (Ishwarde) S7 QSB, 9N1CA S7 QSB, (S21HA going QRT)

0746-0750ist:

9NICA S7 QSB, S21RW S7-S9 QSB, Noise Level S3,
both went QSY to 14195kHz usb at 0750ist

Due to rain & thunder, I stopped monitoring after 0750ist & disconnected antenna etc from the RIG, a few minutes later a huge lightning strike took place with flashing of light & huge sound heard, 

An interesting Info received via OM VU3NYV from Shillong this morning .

Around 0815ist on 7090kHz lsb, he made a voice contact with  a Guwahati based station VU2JDH with  45 55 report , VU2JDH operating on QRP perhaps with 3-4 Watt. I have not heard about this station VU2JDH earlier. Let me check my callsign database.Let me monitor VU2JDH myself on 40mb in coming days in the morning.And thanks to OM VU3NYV from the Scotland of the East , Shillong for sharing this information.

OM VU3NYV is also working on a few homebrewing antenna projects and also working on a QRP (less than 5W) 40mb ssb transreceiver .It is to reminded all his HF antennas he has used so far all are homebrewed by him. Hope in future, I will share more of his homebrewing actitives related to Amateur Radio.He has also great interest in broadcasting band listening shortwave, medium wave & FM too. I understand he is a very busy man. Still, I hope ,he will share his loggings of BC Stations.

BBC's Annual Antarctic Midwinter Broadcast 2026

As per news circulating in many  BCDX social media platforms, British Broadcasting Cooporation(BBC)'s Antarctic  Midwinter Broadcast for 2026 will be on June 2ist during 2130-2200utc (Sunday) on shortwave on the following frequencies viz.

9460 kHz(via Woofferton), 9510kHz(via Ascension) & on 12070kHz(via Woofferton).

The broadcast will be also available on DAB in UK & also online at

https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/w3ct9bnv

The BBC Antarctic Midwinter Broadcast is a special annual half hour program by BBC World Service for scientists and other staff working at the British Stations in the Antarctic  isolated  in harsh winter condition. It is aired on June 21st coinciding with the midwinter solstice in Antarctica.The program features interviews, music requests, messages to family members & friends etc.The program also includes a specially recorded message from the the British monarch.

More information about  the history of BBC's Annual  Antarctic Midwinter Broadcast, here is a useful link.....

http://www.bdxc.org.uk/antarctic.pdf

 

I like to share story of my so far the sole attempt to listen to this  BBC's Annual  Antarctic Midwinter Broadcast from 2018 i.e. 8 years back...........Which was posted on this blog.

........................................................

My First Ever Attempt On BBC Antarctic Midwinter Broadcast

BBC Antarctic Midwinter Broadcast  for 2018 was heard here in my QTH on three frequencies( as per lastest update posted on mt-shortwave.blogspot.com) 5985kHz & 9890kHz (via Woofferton) and 7360kHz via Ascension Islands on )June 21st (of 2018).

RX:Grundig Yacht Boy 400 

ANT:Cu WIRE 78' Length 30' Height With COAX LEADIN  

Geographical Location of Reception Place(Abhayapuri):

Longitude:26º18´20´´North

Latitude:90º37´50´´East

And the signal was audible on 5985kHz & 9890kHz.And the reception (the signal strength )was better on 9890kHz than 5985kHz.The fading was there on both frequencies.

And on 7360kHz there was heavy noise plus perhaps sideband splatter & very very difficult to pick up the audio contents.

Here is the link to the audio recorded on 5985kHz from 2129utc:

https://app.box.com/s/p8qb41rtlo82qh5xhhe8h7f2li5d1ejs

The link to the audio recorded on  9890kHz from 2134utc

https://app.box.com/s/rztcieon8raca9a59egx2dza64efgqut

The link to the audio recorded on  7360kHz from  2138utc

https://app.box.com/s/5xvavfnldgqe2t64hkz85vh8531o4x64

The link to the audio recorded on 9890kHz at 2142utc

https://app.box.com/s/t9zz3jlh9u0aczjf71vl9zdmvun7s4yv

and finally the link to the audio recorded on 9890kHz  from 2159utc:

https://app.box.com/s/19lm40lekylqvtzd5kdwvruz1ks9n6be

And this is my first attempt to listen to BBC Antarctic Midwinter Broadcast & very glad that I could pick up the signals.

My special thanks goes to the two DX News Source  Wolfgang Büschel, Germany's WORLDWIDE DX CLUB Top News and Shortwave Central Blog (mt-shortwave.blogspot.com) for latest update on BBC Antarctic Midwinter Broadcast  for 2018.

My special mention goes to My DX friend from New Delhi Mr.Alokesh Gupta(VU3BSE), who's previous loggings of BBC Antarctic Midwinter Broadcast is always an inspirtation for me.

As per news circulated in BCDX Social Media Groups, it appears that VORW Radio International again has begun its weekly transmission on thursdays from 0900 to 1000utc via Paochung, Taiwan(300kW) relay. The frequency was listed as before in previous B25 winter season as 9705kHz. As per latest information posted , due to interference problem,  the frequency has been changed with immediate effect to 9740kHz.

So, again the latest schedule...

VORW Radio International English Via Taiwan 

To East Asia, Southeast Asia, Pacific, The Americas

Thursdays Only

0900-1000utc 9740kHz 

via Paochung, Taiwan(300kW) 

Reception reports, which will be verified by e-QSL & additional  feedback can be sent at vorwinfo@gmail.com .

More about  John Jurasek,  the person behind VORW Radio International & its programs,  you can check at

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TheReportOfTheWeek

also for online programs at

https://youtube.com/@vorwpodcast?si=hIIzCb3IR9l_Kz6j 

and also search the net for more informations.

Let me check the reception quality on 9740kHz during 0900-1000utc tomorrow i.e. on thursday during its broadcast via Taiwan if possible or on future thursdays.

Here is my earlier  post related to VORW Radio International English  via Taiwan posted on my blog as a part of my monitoring observation on December 31st, 2025.I am including this as part of reference.

..........................................

VORW Radio International English  Via Paochung ,Tiwan(300kW) :

VORW Radio International is broadcasting in English on thursdays from October 30th(2025) on 9705kHz during 0900-1000utc from Paochung ,Tiwan(300kW) to  East Asia, Southeast Asia, South Asia, Pacific.The reception has been fair to good overall with noise slight to moderate here as per with my monitoring with a long wire in my Grundig YB 400.But on November 20th, I found strong signal of VORW Radio International from 0912utc onwards on 9705kHz with news on air etc as far as I could not remember.I also recorded a few audios of the transmission.There might be slight variations of time of the recordings.I am sorry for that.

Akashvani has completed its  90th glorious years   on June 8th. It was on this day in 1936, the Indian State Broadcasting Service(ISBS)'s name as All India Radio(AIR) by then colonial British Government.After independence, in 1956, the name Akashvani was adopted along with All India Radio(AIR).And now it has been decided to call it only Akashvani dropping All India Radio. More detail reports  on Akashvani at 90 & other related items to be posted separately soon on my blog later.

I am not sure about present status of Radio Kuwait on shortwave as such. As far as I could remember its English transmission had been stopped via shortwave. And may be a few transmissions in Arabic etc may be on air on shortwave & medium wave. But I am not sure.

More observations//monitoring reports etc soon.
