kurz die Frage zu Apintie. Im letzten AWR wavescan wurde berichtet, dass
Apintie nunmehr auf 4900 sendet. Kann das hier jemand bestätigen? Ich
habe meine Empfänge in der vergangenheit immer auf 4990+- gemacht.

Thomas,

das war wohl ein Schreib- und Lesefehler von Bob Padula vom 8. Februar, der
auch Beiträge für AWR Wavescan liefert. Sie Komments weiter unten. 73 wb


** SURINAME. 4990, R. Apintie, 0433-0502, Feb. 6, Dutch/English, Pop
ballads in English, several by Lionel Ritchie, right thru top-of-hour,
ad/music promo block from 0447-0450 in Dutch. Good signal tho no ID
noted (Scott R. Barbour, Jr., Intervale, NH, USA, R75, MLB-1, RS

4989.98, R. Apintie, 4 Feb 1003-1020, M mentioned telefoon and
internationaal, 1004 music started, then canned (presumed) ads with
singing by W. 1006 discussion. 1015 presumed program outro, then
canned promo by W and M with clear ID. Talk by M over instrumental
music mentioning Surinam. 1019 short ID jingle by M, more canned
announcements. Pretty good signal at tune-in, but dropped
down almost immediately (Dave Valko, Dunlo PA, Cumbredx mailing list
via DXLD)

** SURINAME. Re: Is it still being heard? (gh, DXLD)

I logged what I believed was R. Apintie (playing indigenous music) at
4990.0 on 12.22.03 at 0553Z. It seemed to have been a very good
evening and early morning, with many new catches in the prior five or
six hours ranging from Pakistan to the best I had ever heard R. Cima
(Santo Domingo, Dom. Rep): I had logged it playing Spanish music at
0727, and noted "superb". A great propagation experience and one of
the best nights of the winter. Best, (Steve Waldee - retired b'cast
engineer, San José, CA, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SURINAM. Radio Apintie introduced the usage of a new 1 kW shortwave
transmitter on December 12. The antenna is a six element log periodic
beamed south at half power, 500 watts. Bob states that he QSLed the
old transmitter on two different channels, 4850 & 4996 kHz. The new
channel is 4900 kHz (Bob Padula, AWR Wavescan Feb 8 via John Norfolk,
DXLD)

As usual, no credits; I think the bit about the 6-element log periodic
came from only one reporter, as previously published and credited in
DXLD. Don`t you believe 4900 --- it`s 4990, tho I have not seen any
reports of it lately. Is it still being heard? (gh, DXLD)
