PAKISTAN 7535 Radio Pakistan, (pres) Rewat, in Urdu, at 1720 UT with<br />

live speech excerpts. Seems to have some modulation problems, together<br />

with strong hum. Improving with time. 34432 on Dec 27.<br />

(Jose Turner-POR, dxld Dec 27)<br />

Since the recent change of frequency for English news at 1600-1610 UT from<br />

7510 to 7535 kHz. Radio Pakistan has also begun to use 7535 kHz instead of<br />

7530 kHz for Urdu to WeEurope at 1700-1900 UT. I thought it might be a<br />

mis-tune, but obviously not so, as it is heard daily.<br />

And the old Rewat transmitters are still in use with no sign of anything<br />

from the new installation at Karachi Landhi.<br />

PALAU Re PALAU, trying to find T8WH broadcast center area.<br />

Hello, I think you now have the precise information about the location, to<br />

know exactly where to go on another attempt?<br />

Reminds me of IBB's Lampertheim plant. It is located in a forest and just<br />

invisible. One has to know the access road and go to the gate, or to know<br />

the location of the antenna field and walk through the forest. It should<br />

be almost impossible to find the site by chance.<br />

The former 100 kW mediumwave site of SFB/RBB in Berlin was literally<br />

invisible, too; even immediately at the fence it was difficult to find a<br />

place where more than the tip of the mast was visible.<br />

And as I said, my experience is that locals just know nothing about<br />

transmission facilities in their neighbourhood. Of course they are aware<br />

of prominently visible antennas, but even then they not necessarily know<br />

what they are good for. As an example, ask a local about the Wertachtal<br />

transmitter plant. No doubt they know this mysterious installation but<br />

have no clue what it is, rather associate it with spy activities than<br />

broadcasting.<br />

9965, unusually something between WRMI and WWCR, Dec 25 at 1517 UT, strong<br />

signal with American preacher, "there is a mighty God". I consulted the B-<br />

09 Broadcasts in English booklet from the British <strong>DX</strong> Club I keep next to<br />

the radio instead of defunct PWBR, and hunting thru the 1500 UT listings,<br />

soon found T8WH in vernacular/English. At 1535 UT recheck it had changed<br />

to Korean.<br />

Once the computer was on, today's Aoki agrees it is T8WH, daily in English<br />

until 1530 UT, then daily in Korean from 1530 UT with Nippon no Kaze<br />

clandestine; the azimuth switches from 318 to 345 degrees but I did not<br />

notice much difference here.<br />
