WORLDWIDE DX CLUB Weekly Top News

The Project is absolutely on track to meeting all of our goals. The only
big question mark still left is paying all the bills for the equipment and
the transportation to St. Helena Island. The project costs are about Euro
12000, and so far we have donations of equipment and money with a value of
about Euro 3000. As you can easily see, we still need a lot of financial
help, and I am asking you all to contribute. On our web page,
under "Donations" are listed our bank
accounts in USA, UK, and EURO-Land. Thank-you one and all for your help
and possible donations.
With very best greetings, Robert Kipp, Project "Revive RSH Day".

SLOVAK REP Waehrend der Mitgliederversammlung des Radio Slowakei
Hoererklubs auf dem DX-Camp des SWLCS in Merchweiler (Saar) am 22. Juli
2006 wurde informiert, dass der neue slowakische Kultusminister versuchen
moechte, die Auslandssendungen von Radio Slowakei International auf
Kurzwelle wieder aufleben zu lassen.
Sicherlich braucht er dazu auch die aktive Unterstuetzung von uns DXern
und Freunden von Radio Slowakei International. Es waere daher
empfehlenswert, wenn jeder, dem etwas an Radio Slowakei International
liegt, ein ensprechendes Schreiben an den Kultusminister senden koennte.
Denn mit diesem Feedback aus dem Hoererkreis wuerde es dem Herrn Minister
sicherlich leichter fallen, eine Wiederaufnahme der Kurzwellensendungen zu
realisieren.
Kontaktdaten fuer die Aufrufaktion sind:
Marek Madaric, minister kultury, Ministerstvo kultury Slovenskej
republiky,

SOUTH AFRICA Propagation conditions were depressed on the higher bands,
July 28 around 1750; so I tried 9 MHz, where I would not expect to hear
much at midday in summer. Trans-equatorial was working with CVC La Voz ID
on 9635 from Chile at 1759, and to my surprise on 9620 at 1755 the TWR mx-
box IS was heard, into unID lang. This is via Meyerton, scheduled with 500
kW at 318 degrees to WAf and thenceforth carrying on to NAm with 500 kW in
Pular at the odd time of 1755-1825, but French at same time on weekends.
This is in HFCC, but in WRTH A-06 supplement 'Pulaar' is listed on 9745,
so 9620 may be a recent change. Google reveals that Pular is an official
regional lang in Guinea, a.k.a. Fulfulde. And by golly, we're going to
turn them all into Protestants!

9785, 2029-, Shiokaze program Jul 21 I haven't seen anyone report their
morning txion. Not in English today (but was local last night) at fair
level. I believe in Japanese at only fair level with identical Shiokaze
sign-on.
