* The Olympic Games on Shortwave - 01:00
The 2012 Olympic games in London, the 30th Olympiad, ended a little over a month ago, and now would be a
good time for us to take a historic look at a radio related topic, the “Olympic Games on Shortwave”. But first though, we
delve into the ancient historic backgrounds of these now celebrated games.
It was back 3½ thousand years ago, that the early Greek settlements over there in continental Europe began to
hold religious festivals, to which were attached various forms of active games and sports events. According to the
~4~
Boletin Nº 63
historians, it was 700 years later again, in the year 776 BC, that the 1st competitive sports were staged that are
considered to be the actual ancient forerunner of the modern Olympic Games.
The location chosen for these events was Olympia which is located on the west coast of the southern Greek
peninsula that looks like a large island. In those days, only young men could compete, and regardless of where they
lived and which city-state they represented, it was a requirement that they could speak the Greek language. It was a
time of political peace, of competitive sports and friendship association.
However, as time went by, the quality of performance in this original series of Olympic Games, which were
staged every four years, deteriorated, and in 394 AD, that is a thousand years after they were first introduced, the
Roman Emperor Theodosius ordered them closed. One hundred years later, a major earthquake destroyed the area of
Olympia; and subsequently, a landslide buried the locality.
In the mid 1800s, a wealthy businessman in Athens funded a local version of the Olympic Games in Athens
itself; and then in 1875, a German archaeologist discovered and unearthed the original historic site at Olympia. Comes
the year 1894, and a wealthy French baron proposed the re-introduction of the Olympic Games on an international
scale. Two years later, a revived version of the Olympic Games was staged in the city of Athens.
These days, the modern Olympics is a massive international extravaganza, lasting about 2½ weeks, and staged
in different world cities on each occasion, with 10,000 athletes from almost every country performing. The opening
ceremony in London on July 27 this year, was watched by one billion people on TV around the world.
For the first time, radio entered the Olympic scene during the 1924 Summer Olympics in Paris, France. There
were some news summaries presented on local radio, and the BBC London gave evening coverage to some of the
major events. Likewise, at the Amsterdam Olympics in 1928, there was a brief news roundup at the end of the day, but
no live broadcasts.
Live radio coverage became a reality for the 1932 Winter Olympics at Lake Placid, New York. Both NBC & CBS
presented live coverage of several of the main events and this was relayed live across the nation from New York to
California, on both mediumwave and shortwave. It is clearly stated that the General Electric shortwave stations at
South Schenectady, W2XAD & W2XAF, also carried this live programming from Lake Placid.
We would suggest that it is probable that several of the other shortwave stations that were active during this era
also carried some of this live commentary, such as KDKA-W8XK, WABC-W2XE and WJZ-W3XL & W3XAL.
Quite recently, Jim Hilliker at Monterey in California released a document on the internet, comparing the radio
coverage at the 1932 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles with the recent Olympics in London England. In his well
researched document, Hilliker reveals that there was no live coverage for the Los Angeles events, though several of
the local mediumwave stations did present a resume of the days events in special broadcasts each evening.
Interestingly, there was a New Zealand born aspiring film star in Hollywood at the time, the 37 year old Nola
Luxford, and she applied to mediumwave station KFI in Los Angeles for the privilege of making a daily broadcast
beamed to New Zealand during the Olympics. Her hour long broadcast was on the air every night at midnight, which
coincided with early evening in New Zealand.
At the time, station KFI was on the air with a recently installed 50 kW transmitter on the mediumwave channel
640 kHz and this station was often heard at night with a listenable signal in New Zealand. In addition, the Luxford
nightly program over KFI was also broadcast on shortwave for wide area coverage. It is not stated just which American
shortwave stations carried the Luxford Olympic programming, but it is probable that the RCA shortwave station located
at Bolinas, north of San Francisco, was on the air with this programming beamed across the Pacific.
The voice of the expatriate New Zealand girl, Nola Luxford with her nightly Olympic commentaries, was relayed
live over the YA network throughout New Zealand. We could guess that the radio networks in Australia also took the
same opportunity of featuring these regular evening broadcasts of the Los Angeles Summer Olympics.
The mediumwave stations in the YA network in New Zealand back at that time were:1YA Auckland
820 kHz
½ kW
2YA Wellington
720
5
3YA Christchurch
980
½
4YA Dunedin
650
½
However, shortwave coverage of the Olympics really took a great stride forward during the 1936 Summer
Games in Berlin. Up until that time, there was just one shortwave broadcasting station in Germany and this was
located at Zeesen, around 10 miles south of Berlin.
There were just three shortwave transmitters initially on the air at Zeesen, though in preparation for the Berlin
Olympics, a total of eight additional shortwave transmitters at 50 kW each were ordered. These transmitters, all of a
similar design and designated as the Olympia model, were constructed by the Telefunken & Lorenz electronic
companies in Berlin.
When these transmitters were installed, their many and varied frequencies were identified on air with a
sequence of callsigns in the DJ series, beginning with DJA, DJB, DJC, etc. The live Olympic programming from these
transmitters was heard around the globe and it was relayed by local stations in many countries throughout Europe, the
Americas and the South Pacific.
In two weeks time, we will present the story of the rather different shortwave coverage for the 1956 Summer
Olympics in Melbourne Australia.

Venezuela: Coca-Cola lanza nueva Emisora Web FM, en Venezuela
Bajo el slogan de "Esta Radio la haces tú", la Gerente en Venezuela de la importante empresa refresquera, Isabel
Moya, destacó que desde hace un año se encuentran trabajando en el proyecto para crear una radio de corte juvenil.
Venezuela es el undécimo mercado latinoamericano en el que se pone en marcha el proyecto, que será manejado por
FM Center y accedido por el dominio Coca-Cola.FM.
El acceso para Venezuela fue habilitado simultáneamente a través de redes sociales (@cocacolafmve).
Moya informó que algunos de los programas contenidos en la grilla están "Galleta China", "La Botellita" y "Loco Loco
tú lo pides yo lo toco", entre otros espacios musicales alternativos, diferentes y juveniles que rompen con el esquema
de la radio tradicional.
La banda venezolana de rock & roll, Viniloversus, estuvo presente en el estreno de la nueva emisora venezolana y
deleitó a la audiencia con los temas "Bipolar Visceral", "Llámame y desaparezco" y "La decisión es tuya"; asimismo,
acompañaron a Alejandro, vocalista de la banda Los Colores, con la canción "Juega bien tus cartas".
El guitarrista y voz principal de Viniloversus, Rodrigo Gonsalves, aprovechó la oportunidad para manifestar su alegría y
resaltó: "Estamos celebrando que por segunda vez... nos nominaron para los Latin Grammy ... celebren con nosotros
por favor...es muy importante en este momento brindar con una marca que respetamos tanto".
En la velada estuvieron presentes el grupo Los Mesoneros y Ulises Hadjis, quienes también han sido nominados al
Gramófono de Oro, que se celebrará el 15 de Noviembre en la Ciudad de Las Vegas, en Estados Unidos.

Tomorrow, Monday October 1, 2012, is the 100th anniversary of an early and important maritime wireless
station. It was on that date, Tuesday October 1, 1912, that the coastal wireless station POA was officially opened for
wireless communication with passing ships; it was the only wireless station on the southern coast of Australia located in
between what we might call the east and the west fringes of the continent; and yes, it participated in its share of radio
broadcasting activities, including shortwave beam programming. This is what happened.
It was during the year 1912 that a whole host of new wireless stations were installed in coastal areas on the
continent of Australia. The 6th station in this network of new communication facilities was installed at Rosewater, an
outer near-coastal suburb of Adelaide, the capital city of the state of South Australia.
At the time, Rosewater was a lonely and isolated locality, just one mile inland from the busy sea port of Port
Adelaide. The new wireless station was installed into a newly constructed building on what was known as Grand
Junction Road.
The transmitter was a 5 kW spark transmitter, designed in the Balsillie wireless system, and manufactured in
Sydney at the Maritime Wireless Company, which was owned by the Catholic priest, Archibald Shaw. The aerial
system was a center fed squirrel cage, suspended from two wooden masts, 250 feet tall and 250 feet apart. The
earthing system consisted of a large copper plate and a mat of radial wires.
Their 1st receiver was a 3 position crystal set, with a choice of 3 different crystals and cat’s whiskers. Electrical
power was taken from the city power grid. The station was installed and operated by the PMG, Postmaster General’s
Department, and initially a staff of 3 operated the entire facility. In those days, the Adelaide station was usually the 1st
station on this continental island that was heard by ships coming in from the Far East.
The original callsign for the Rosewater station was POA, standing for Post Office Adelaide. However, the call
was changed a few weeks later to VIA; with the letter V indicating Australia and honoring the late Queen Victoria, the
letter I as part of an Australian sequence of callsigns, and the letter A standing again for Adelaide.
On October 1, 1915, station VIA was taken over by the Australian navy, along with all other stations in the
coastal radio system. Then 5 years later again, the station was transferred back to PMG control; and then on May 8,
1922, it was taken over by AWA, (the Australian equivalent of the American RCA), along with all of the other coastal
radio stations.
At the time, that is in 1922, VIA was still on the air with the original spark transmitter, though by now it was in
operation full time, 24 hours daily. The observatory time signal was broadcast twice daily, at midday & midnight, and
weather bulletins were broadcast regularly throughout the day in Morse Code.
In 1923, the British passenger liner, “Changsha” hit a reef off the coast of the Philippines while en route from
Australia to the Far East. Adelaide Radio VIA was the 1st station to hear and report the SOS signal from the stranded
ship “Changsha”.
A new 500 watt communication transmitter was installed at Rosewater in October 1925, together with a bank of
regenerative valve receivers, all made in Sydney by AWA. The original spark transmitter was removed from service 18
days later on October 22.
Then, in 1927, work on a new 5 kW shortwave transmitter was completed at the AWA factory near Ashfield in
Sydney, and this unit was tested on air at the factory in communication with the sister coastal station VIM in Melbourne.
This new transmitter was then transported to Adelaide and installed at VIA Rosewater, and taken into communication
service in November 1927.
This new shortwave transmitter was specifically designed for use in what was called the AWA Beam Service.
That is, the transmitter would be in use for the point to point relay of radio programming and for official communications
between Adelaide and the two eastern state capitals, Melbourne & Sydney. The AWA Beam Service from Adelaide
would be quite similar to the Beam Service at the two other locations, the better known VK3ME & VK2ME.
It is known that radio programming from the two ABC stations in Adelaide, 5CL & 5AN, was at times relayed by
the ABC mediumwave stations throughout the Commonwealth. It is also known that
the popular commercial program on 5AD, “Australia’s Amateur Hour” with Dick Fair was relayed throughout Australia,
and also worldwide by Radio Australia on shortwave. As required, the Beam Transmitter at Rosewater fed the required
programming eastward to Melbourne & Sydney, and probably at times westward to Perth in Western Australia.
Beginning on August 1, 1943, station VIA began the relay of time signals from the local ABC mediumwave
stations at 9:00 am & 10:00 pm, and this service was presented on longwave 500 kHz.
As time went by, change & development were implemented. In 1946, OTC, the Overseas Telecommunications
Commission, took control of all maritime coastal stations including VIA. Then, 6 years later, the receiver function was
~ 12 ~
Boletin Nº 63
transferred from the Rosewater transmitter building to a temporary location in the grounds of “Minda Home” in
suburban Brighton.
With the development of housing estates in the area around the Rosewater station, the time had come for the
construction of a totally new station. A country property of 66 acres was procured at McLarenvale, 25 miles from the
city; and at 1:00 pm on Friday March 29, 1963, the maritime coastal service was transferred from the old VIA in
suburban Adelaide to the new VIA out in the rolling countryside.
Over a period of time, a dozen transmitters, longwave, & shortwave, were in use at this new station. However,
30 years later again with the march of electronic progress, the countryside station was closed in favor of alternative
procedures in electronic communication with shipping. The entire radio facility at VIA McLarenvale was put up for sale,
and the new owners were a family that had migrated into the area from Germany.
The new owner, Dr Harro Krause, used this ex maritime radio station as his own amateur radio station, VK5HK.
His wife Yvonne also held an amateur radio license, VK5YK.
This then, is the 100 year story of an important coastal wireless station that was on the air with occasional
broadcast programming, and with the relay of other radio programming for extensive coverage elsewhere. The 1st
station in coastal Rosewater gave way to suburban housing; and the 2nd station in McLarenvale was taken over and
operated as an amateur radio station.

Report about HFCC/ASBU B12 Conference - Paris
The following article is being sent to everyone on the NASB Newsletter mailing list. If you would like your address to be
removed from the NASB mailing list, please reply with the word "Remove."
HFCC/ASBU B12 Paris - by Jeff White, NASB Secretary-Treasurer
The High Frequency Coordination Conference (HFCC/ASBU B12) took place at the Mercure Porte d'Orleans Hotel –
part of the ubiquitous French Accor hotel chain – in the suburb of Montrouge, just south of Paris. Interestingly, the
HFCC had one previous conference in Montrouge in 1994, and it too was held at the same Mercure Hotel. The hotel
staff was very attentive, and during the conference week HFCC delegates made up the majority of the hotel guests.
The HFCC Registration Desk was manned all week by NASB Assistant Secretary-Treasurer Thais White, who was
assisted by TDF's Alexandra Lung during the busy Monday morning registration session.
The B12 Conference was co-sponsored by TeleDiffusion de France (TDF) and the NASB. TDF's Jerome Hirigoyen
opened the meeting on Monday morning, August 27, welcoming everyone to France and introducing HFCC Chairman
Oldrich Cip, who said:
“I will start with a recollection of a point in the history of shortwave broadcasting that we undertook about 20 years ago
when a group, that later became known as the HFCC, introduced for the first time ever a workable frequency
coordination. The system is still up and running, it has become global, and it has improved listening on shortwave
bands. Now we face a development that reduces the importance of shortwave broadcasting: New methods of media
delivery are emerging quickly and some decision-makers interpret the cuts or even closures of shortwave services as
the inevitable outcome of technological changes. Yet we believe that there is a strong need for the delivery of
programmes and other content both on traditional and new platforms depending on the personal choice of consumers
and on their situation.”
Oldrich Cip went on to explain a current HFCC project (together with the ASBU and ABU-HFC) called International
Radio for Disaster Relief. He said: “Reports on disaster and post-disaster communication in Japan, Haiti and during the
Indian Ocean tsunami revealed that the flow of incoming information was identified as insufficient and even as a source
of dissatisfaction and frustration among people affected by a disaster.”
Cip explained that “the unique – and even life-saving – role of radio in disaster and post-disaster situations has been
well-known to listeners and broadcasters for decades, but no attempt has ever been made to set up and prepare in
advance a dedicated global system for the distribution of radio information to disaster stricken regions.” More
information about this project is available in a document on the B12 Conference webpage, www.hfcc.org/B12.phtml.
During his opening comments, the HFCC chairman also talked about plans for HFCC participation in World Radio Day
2013 (February 13). This project is being coordinated with UNESCO and will include a special webpage dedicated to
the event.
In his own remarks at the Opening Plenary session, HFCC Vice Chairman Horst Scholz noted that at the first HFCC
conference in Paris in 1994, also hosted by TDF, participants were provided with three computers and three telephone
lines. TDF also offered interpretation from Russian to English and from French to English. There were 62 delegates
representing 29 organizations.
Horst read apologies from a few members, including Andrew Flynn of Christian Vision who had informed members that
CVC would have a limited shortwave schedule for B12 after the recent closure of its transmitter site in Santiago, Chile.
A moment of silence was observed in honor of the recently-deceased HF frequency coordinator Stanley Leinwoll, who
worked for Radio Free Europe and Radio Liberty as well as NASB members WEWN and Family Radio. Rocus de
Joode announced that Radio Netherlands had recently ceased most of its shortwave transmissions, but their former
relay station in Madagascar would continue operations under the auspices of a new company called MGLOB. Another
Dutch company called Free Press Unlimited would also continue shortwave transmissions. Ludo Maes informed
participants that his company TDP had recently changed its name to Broadcast Belgium and its new FMO code would
be BRB.
Other speakers at the Opening Plenary included conference committee chairman Jeff White of the NASB who
explained the week's agenda, and Gary Stanley who gave some information about a new HFCC finance committee.
After the Opening Plenary and a short coffee break, the frequency coordination work began in earnest. A total of
around 107 delegates participated in the conference either the full week or part of it, and they came from approximately
45 broadcasters and other organizations from roughly the same number of countries around the world.

After Monday's group lunch at the Mercure, I recorded an interview with Jerome Hirigoyen and Pablo Diaz-Bertin of
TDF for use on a special edition of NASB member Adventist World Radio's program Wavescan, produced by NASB
board member Adrian Peterson. We presented the half-hour program from the HFCC in Paris that week.
SHORTWAVE FOR AFRICA
After the coordination work ended on Monday afternoon, Allistair Oliver, Manager of Business Development at Sentech
in South Africa, explained all about their transmission facilities and the African coverage they can provide to interested
broadcasters. Sentech is a state-owned company with infrastructure to carry transmission signals for the South African
Broadcasting Corporation as well as commercial and community stations. It has 742 FM transmitters, 627 TV
transmitters and satellite services. It has 16 shortwave transmitters (ten 100-kilowatt, four 250-kilowatt and two 500kilowatt) and 43 shortwave antennas capable of covering Africa and the Middle East. These SW facilities are located in
Meyerton, about 80 kilometers from Johannesburg. The site was built in 1964.
Oliver said that due to the nature of shortwave frequencies, their travel over long distances makes shortwave an ideal
medium for covering Africa. He said “shortwave is also suitable because many countries on the continent have limited
resources and infrastructure for broadcasting. In some cases, there is also restricted freedom of speech. And in times
of emergencies and humanitarian crisis situations shortwave is a technology solution of choice.”
Oliver said that “there is a strong value proposition for shortwave broadcasting in Africa due to the low penetration of
other forms of terrestrial broadcasting. Compared to the rest of the world, Africa's communication infrastructure is
lagging lagging behind with limited FM radio coverage, limited television coverage and limited to no Internet coverage.”
He said that up to 30% of the population in many African countries listens to shortwave. He cited a recent survey
carried out by Trans World Radio to determine if people were still listening to them on shortwave. “Listeners responded
overwhelmingly by SMS, e-mail, phone calls and letters that TWR should keep broadcasting on shortwave.”
Sentech currently provides shortwave services to 23 broadcasters for a total of 3300 hours per month. Current clients
include Adventist World Radio, Babcock, the BBC, Radio France International, the South African Broadcasting
Corporation, Trans World Radio and World Radio Network.
Each morning, the conference hotel package included a buffet breakfast (with lots of French breads and croissants,
among other things), and a welcome coffee break, followed later by morning and afternoon coffee breaks. On Tuesday
morning frequency coordination began anew, with a pause for lunch consisting of shrimp, codfish and fruit salad.
WHAT'S NEW WITH DRM?
Just after lunch, Ruxandra Obreja, Chair of the DRM (Digital Radio Mondiale) Consortium came from London to talk to
HFCC delegates about the latest DRM developments. She said that the “peak” for shortwave was in 2005, and it has
declined gradually since then. She pointed out that 41 shortwave transmitter sites have closed since 2005. DRM's
peak, she said, was in 2006, when there were some 2000 hours of DRM transmissions daily. Today there are
somewhat more than 600 hours per day.
The DRM Consortium believes the solution to the decline of shortwave is digital radio, and DRM is recognized by the
ITU. Obreja said half the world is currently covered by DRM transmissions. She gave an overview of DRM's status in
various parts of the world:
In Brazil, there have been DRM tests over the past five years. Both HD and DRM standards are being evaluated by the
government there. TDF did shortwave tests to Brazil from Montsinery, French Guiana at the end of 2011. A local
company in Brazil is now building DRM-capable transmitters.
In India, successful DRM trials began in 2007. Regular DRM service started on shortwave from Delhi in 2009. In
October 2011, All India Radio increased DRM shortwave hours to 16 per day. They have ordered two new high-power
(1 megawatt) HF transmitters.
DRM was presented as the plan for digital radio in Russia, but plans have been suspended recently pending the
resolution of a TV matter.
In Asia/Pacific, Radio Australia has two DRM-ready 100-kilowatt shortwave transmitters. Taiwan has recently acquired
DRM transmitters. Radio New Zealand International is using DRM to feed local radio stations in the Pacific.
There is “lots of interest” in DRM in Africa.
Obreja explained that multiplatform (DRM, DAB and HD) chipsets were launched in January of this year. Frontier
Silicon is the biggest producer of chipsets. DRM receivers are being developed and upgraded, such as the Newstar
DR111. Other models are available from Himalaya in Hong Kong and Uniwave. DRM car receiver prototypes are are
~ 16 ~
Boletin Nº 63
being made in India. The Fraunhofer company is making professional DRM receivers. There are various softwaredefined radios also on the market. Obreja believes that the tendency to produce multi-standard digital receivers will
increase in the coming years.
What's next for DRM? “We need to build on the good news from India,” said Ruxandra Obreja. “We need to continue
and increase our presence in Brazil, and watch the situation in Russia.” The DRM Commercial Committee needs to
attract chipset manufacturers and work on receiver manufacturers. DRM will continue to have a meaningful presence at
major events such as the IBS in Amsterdam (where a new DRM implementation guide was due to be released the
following week), the Consumer Electronics Show in the U.S. and others. “In general, we need to fight the case for
digital radio.”
Ruxandra Obreja's DRM presentation was immediately followed by an open meeting of the DRM's Commercial
Committee, chaired by Ludo Maes, in a breakout room. This meeting was connected by conference call to DRM
Commercial Committee members in several countries.
The Commercial Committee meeting began with an update on the status of DRM in various countries:
In India, implementation of DRM continues, although a little slower than expected.
The situation with DRM in Russia is uncertain at the moment, but the Voice of Russia plans to maintain the same
number of hours of DRM transmissions to Europe and India next year.
In Brazil, the government has not yet made a decision on which digital radio system will be adopted, but DRM is in the
running, and the Consortium is working to promote DRM within the country, including its advantages for community
radio stations.
North Korea is making DRM broadcasts.
In Ecuador, tests of different digital systems are underway, including DRM. HCJB has been participating in these.
The Committee noted that the number of hours of DRM transmissions has not increased lately. They stressed that it is
important for broadcasters to implement and maintain DRM broadcasts in order to interest listeners and stimulate the
demand for DRM receivers. It was suggested that broadcasters try to coordinate schedules into “bouquets” of DRM
broadcasts for the benefit of listeners. Stations should also use their broadcasts to air spots promoting DRM and
encouraging listeners to buy DRM receivers. Stations are also encouraged to share their latest DRM broadcast
schedules with the DRM Project Office in order to maintain the DRM website listing up-to-date.
Chipset manufacturers are key to the development of DRM receivers, and more of them are becoming members of the
DRM Consortium. The DR111 is the latest receiver on the market. It costs $120, but the price is expected to fall
somewhat. There is significant interest in DRM from the automotive market, particularly in India.
HF DEVELOPMENTS AT THOMSON BROADCAST
After the afternoon coordination session, Moritz Steinmann of NASB associate member Thomson Broadcast and
Multimedia gave a presentation about some of its recent shortwave projects, including:
The Voice of Nigeria decided to build a new station near Abuja, which was a turnkey job by Thomson consisting of
three DRM-ready 250-kilowatt transmitters. It was inaugurated in March 2012 by the Nigerian vice president. There is a
large rotatable antenna (6-30 MHz) and three new curtain antennas. With the rotatable antenna, said Steinmann, “if a
new problem area occurs or if you just want to change a target, you don't need to buy a new antenna; you just change
the direction.”
A new 100-kilowatt DRM-ready transmitter was installed in Taskhent, Uzbekistan in December 2011. Steinmann
pointed out that Tashkent is located on the famous Silk Road which was the most important trading route from China to
the Mediterranean.
A new 250-kilowatt shortwave transmitter and antenna for Betar Bangladesh was commissioned in mid-July. It's not
DRM-ready, but can be modified if the station decides it wants to transmit in DRM to India. Thomson is modernizing an
existing station 40 kilometers north of Dhaka, a site that is also used for rice-farming. Thomson built both the
transmitter and antenna, so there is no interface problem.
Four 300-kilowatt shortwave transmitters are being built for a site in Yamata, Japan. The first one will be on the air in
April 2013, then three more at yearly intervals. At least the first two will be DRM-capable, so they save energy, allowing
them to reach the same coverage area with less power.
~ 17 ~
Boletin Nº 63
Another large project is underway in Taiwan.
Immediately following their presentation, Thomson invited all HFCC/ASBU participants to a French wine tasting in the
Mercure. This was a good opportunity to try the local wines, and as they say, “a good time was had by all.”
THE DELIGHTS OF MONTROUGE
There were many restaurants in Montrouge within easy walking distance of the Mercure Hotel for dinner during the
conference. Montrouge is a pleasant town for walking, particularly during the conference week with daytime
temperatures in the 70's (Fahrenheit) and nighttime temps in the 60's, with nary a drop of rain. Montrouge is full of
flowers everywhere. A large shopping mall called La Vache Noire (“The Black Cow”) is only a 15- or 20-minute walk
from the Mercure Hotel. TDF's headquarters is located in Montrouge. It used to be located in the building directly in
front of the Mercure Hotel , but is now a few kilometers away. A large Carrefour supermarket is only a few blocks from
the hotel, as well as a pedestrian street with many restaurants. Within a few minutes' walk of the Mercure there were
several Italian, Japanese, Vietnamese, Greek, French of course, and even Iranian restaurants.
On Tuesday night, the NASB representatives at the HFCC Conference decided to have a board dinner at a French
restaurant in Montrouge recommended by TDF. This was a rare opportunity for several of us to get together, especially
board member George Ross who resides in Guam. Present at the dinner were NASB president Glen Tapley of WEWN,
Jerry Plummer representing Vice President Brady Murray of WWCR, fellow board member George Ross of Trans
World Radio and his colleague Shakti Verma, Secretary-Treasurer Jeff White and his wife Assistant SecretaryTreasurer Thais White of WRMI, Jerome Hirigoyen and Pablo Diaz-Bertin of NASB associate member TDF and
Jerome's wife Carole who took part in the NASB 2011 Annual Meeting on the Majesty of the Seas, and Tom Lucey of
the FCC's International Bureau. Jerome and his wife Carole were able to translate the menu for us. The prix-fixe menu
began with sangria (or beer for those so inclined), followed by an appetizer. (Many of us had melted Camembert
cheese.) The main course included options of steak, fish or pork (the latter of which came in a large ceramic dish
covered with a flaky French pastry) accompanied by French wine or beer. After the main course, there was a selection
of French cheeses to try, and finally a dessert. I had something called an “exploding volcano” which involved ice cream
and meringue. Others had the more traditional crème brulee. Dinner began at 7:30 pm (early by French standards) and
ended at 11:00 pm, giving us three and a half hours for pleasant conversation about shortwave-related and other
topics, including an explanation of the NASB's proposal to co-host the B13 HFCC Conference in Bratislava, Slovakia
together with Radio Slovakia International.
Every night for hours after the frequency coordination ended around 5:00 pm, Vladislav Cip was hard at work in the
HFCC Secretariat room, among other things preparing the daily collision lists which showed potential interference
between stations on the same or adjacent frequencies. The stations would then attempt to negotiate changes to their
own and other stations' schedules to eliminate these collisions before they occur at the beginning of the next frequency
season. Each night from Sunday to Thursday, a new collision list was prepared for each station to work on the next
day. Then around 11 pm or midnight, Thais and I would staple the collision lists together and distribute them to each
FMO (frequency management organization) at their tables in the main meeting room. Each FMO's seating area was
designated by a small Eiffel Tower with a three-letter FMO code on it. Of course the largest collision lists belonged to
the Chinese, the Russians, the Iranians and the IBB, for example, but the FCC had a reasonably long list to work on as
well, including collisions involving the NASB members.
The coordination process continued on Wednesday morning and afternoon, with a break for lunch featuring avocadomarinaded salmon, roast sirloin and cheesecake. On Wednesday afternoon, Ms. Mirta Lourenco, Chief of the Media
Capacity-Building Section of UNESCO's Communication Development Division, met with members of the HFCC
Steering Board to discuss areas of potential cooperation. The two primary topics were the UNESCO World Radio Day
webpage mentioned earlier and the HFCC's International Radio for Disaster Relief project.
RFI'S INCORPORATION INTO AEF
At the end of Wednesday's coordination was a presentation by John Maguire, Director of International Development for
Audiovisuel Extérieur de la France, the French government organism that manages Radio France International, France
24 TV and Radio Monte Carlo International (an Arabic-language station) and owns 49% of TV5 Monde. Maguire's talk
was about how AEF is meeting strategic goals. He said AEF's three subsidiaries have merged structurally, but not
editorially.
Radio France International has cut back on shortwave in recent years, but Maguire said there are certain areas where
shortwave will be maintained for political reasons, such as China (even with jamming) and Hausa to West Africa, where
shortwave is the only way for many people to listen.
Maguire said AEF is in competition with Western broadcasters like CNN, and they believe there is a place for a French
element in the international media scene. But he said they are also in competition with China. “We impact by existing
and influencing,” he said. “We want to reach the maximum number of people in the maximum number of countries.”
They are developing a Farsi service for Iran, but overall they have cut languages from 13 to six in recent years.
~ 18 ~
Boletin Nº 63
Priority countries for AEF include:
French-speaking Africa (Senegal, Guinea, Democratic Republic of Congo, Republic of Congo, Cameroon, Togo, Cote
d'Ivoire, Niger, Burkina Faso, Benin, Chad, Gabon, Djibouti, Madagascar)
English-speaking Africa (Nigeria, South Africa)
North Africa (Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia)
Middle East (Egypt, Iran)
North America (USA, Canada)
South America (Brazil, Argentina, Mexico)
Europe (United Kingdom, Netherlands, Germany, Poland, Romania, Russia, Turkey)
Asia (China, Vietnam, Indonesia)
RFI is broadcasting, for example, French-language programs on shortwave from the TDF site in Issoudun, France to
West Africa. They are also using Sentech to cover parts of Africa on shortwave. But Maguire points out that in the last
10 years, RFI has cut shortwave transmissions from 200 hours per day to 70 hours per day.
At the end of John Maguire's presentation, he invited the audience to a French champagne reception elsewhere in the
Mercure, which like the wine-tasting the previous night was an enjoyable social event.
For dinner on Wednesday night, Thais and I went to the Ibis hotel (also a member of the Accor chain) right next door to
the Mercure, where many members of the HFCC/ASBU delegation were staying, since the Mercure only has 113
rooms and booked up far in advance of the conference. The Ibis has a Courtpaille restaurant (similar to a fancy
Denny's in the United States), which is an Accor-owned restaurant chain.
“NEW” SHORTWAVE STATION IN MADAGASCAR
On Thursday afternoon, I recorded interviews for Wavescan with Rocus de Joode of Radio Netherlands and Flore
Ravelojaona, manager of the Radio Netherlands relay station in Madagascar. Radio Netherlands has owned and
operated the Madagascar station for over 40 years, but as of November 1 of this year the station is being handed over
to an employee-owned local company called MGLOB – Malagasy Global Business, S.A.
The station at Talata Volonondry is about 25 kilometers northeast of the capital city of Madagascar, Antananarivo. The
large island of Madagascar is 400 kilometers east of the African continent and has a population of 22 million. The
legendary animal life which has been made famous in a series of popular movies is unique. The site can reach central,
southern and eastern Africa with one hop (up to 4000 km). Demand for shortwave coverage remains high for this
region, which includes countries such as the Democratic Republic of Congo, Ethiopia, Somalia, Sudan and Southern
Sudan and Zimbabwe. The second hop from Madagascar – a 7000-kilometer radius – reaches west Africa, north
Africa, the Middle East, Central and South Asia and Southeast Asia.
MGLOB will market the facility as a commercial station. It offers 100, 125 and 250 kilowatt transmitter power, as well as
a 50-kilowatt transmitter for non-directional coverage of the island of Madagascar itself. Just last year, Radio
Netherlands bought four former Radio Sweden ABB transmitters from a site in Horby, Sweden to renovate the
Madagascar station with newer equipment, and these transmitters should all be on line by the beginning of the B12
season. A full complement of 15 curtain array antennas capable of operating from 6 to 26 MHz enables the station to
target various azimuths in Africa and Asia, and there's also a log periodic antenna which can operate in the same
frequency range. For coverage of the island of Madagascar, the station has two dipole antennas which can operate in
the 41, 49, 75 and 90-meter bands.
MULTIMEDIA MOVEMENT AT THE BBC
Cath Westcott of the BBC World Service spoke to the HFCC Conference on Thursday afternoon. She explained that
the BBC World Service is part of BBC Global News, which also includes BBC World (which is the only Englishlanguage channel we were able to watch in our hotel room), bbc.com, BBC Monitoring and BBC Media Action. It is
funded by a UK parliament grant-in-aid, but editorial control is with the BBC. In 2010, after a UK government spending
review, the BBC World Service funding was cut by 16%. As of 2014, the World Service will be funded by UK license
fees. The BBC celebrated its 80th birthday in 2012 and moved from the famous Bush House to the new Broadcasting
House.
Westcott reviewed some of the changes in international broadcasting. “Shortwave unlocked the world,” she said. “State
controlled broadcasters dominated.” The transistor revolution led to a huge increase in receivers worldwide. But
recently “political changes and increased competition from commercial broadcasters forced changes in what
broadcasters were doing and how they were doing it.” Media liberalization, deregulation and the advent of new
technologies have all led to new opportunities. But the BBC's local FM strategy “has been the most adverse effect on
shortwave usage by the BBC.”

Boletin Nº 63
Westcott said the BBC World Service audience is estimated to be 180 million adults across all platforms. She said the
AM audience (including SW) has dropped, partially because of the elimination of much of the BBC's shortwave
transmissions. “But we recognize that there are certain audiences that need to be reached by shortwave, although at
some point we won't be able to maintain the infrastructure of shortwave broadcast facilities.” The television audience is
now greater than the shortwave audience for the BBC World Service.
According to Westcott, questions that international broadcasters need to ask themselves include:
Who and where is my audience?
What content does my audience like or need?
What delivery methods can my audience access?
How will things change?
How can I provide the best service I can for the funding I have?
Other considerations which must be taken into account include:
The international regulatory environment – only shortwave is recognized by the ITU for international broadcasting
Partnerships and their affect on your content – gatekeepers, no more long-form programs (local stations just want short
newscasts that they can use as part of their local content)
Costs to your audience (in addition to the costs to broadcasters themselves) – for example, costs to access the
Internet, mobile phones, subscriptions, etc.
Westcott said mobile phones are being used increasingly for program distribution. As an experiment, in 2009 the BBC
gave six villages in northern Nigeria one mobile phone each to use however they wished. In addition to receiving
material, the villages used the phones to feed program material to BBC Hausa in London. And over in the US, there is
now mobile phone BBC radio distribution in four languages via dial-up telephone numbers.
Following Cath Westcott's presentation, the HFCC Closing Plenary began. Horst Scholz mentioned that the A13
HFCC/ASBU Conference is scheduled for Tunisia, probably during the last week of January. Jeff White gave some
preliminary details of the B13 Conference, which is scheduled for Bratislava, Slovakia August 26-30, 2013. The cosponsors are Radio Slovakia International and the NASB. Proposals from various hotels have already been received,
and the conference will likely take place in a hotel near the historic Old Town area of Bratislava, which is about 10
kilometers from the Bratislava airport and about 40 kilometers from the Vienna, Austria airport. Radio Slovakia
International has offered to provide a tour for HFCC participants one afternoon during the conference. RSI is located in
the famous “upside-down pyramid” building in downtown Bratislava. Sponsors for other events during the B13
Conference are being sought.
Also at the Closing Plenary, Sergio Salvatori reported on the Group of Experts meeting and its plans regarding the
International Radio for Disaster Relief project. Gary Stanley gave the Financial Committee report. He said that HFCC
income could go down as membership falls due to stations cutting shortwave broadcasts, so the Committee wanted to
approve an increase in membership fees. However, they decided that it will be necessary to do a complete review of
finances first, and they plan to present recommendations at the A13 Conference. Stanley reported that the last-minute
change of venue for the A11 Conference from Tunis to Prague caused some extra expenses for the HFCC, but in the
end there was a profit from the conference. He said the financial situation is good at the moment, but again warned that
any reduction in membership could cause problems in the future.
The Plenary accepted two new members in Paris: MGLOB from Madagascar and Free Press Unlimited (FPU) based in
the Netherlands, which is also loosely affiliated with Radio Netherlands. MCIT, the Indonesia Ministry of
Communications and Information Technology, was welcomed as an observer member and will be eligible for full
membership at the A13 Conference in Tunis. The MCIT directs spectrum management in Indonesia as well as licensing
and monitoring of the frequency spectrum.
SHORT EXCURSIONS TO PARIS
In the late afternoons and evenings during the conference, many delegates went into Paris for sightseeing or dinner.
On Thursday night, TDF invited several members of the NASB delegation to a very interesting but not-so-well-known
part of Paris called Cours Saint- Emillion. Thais and I took a taxi there with Olivier Goinard from Radio France
International. A delightful cab driver named Patrice who speaks six languages – English, French, Spanish, Arabic,
Chinese and Russian – told us all about his hybrid Toyota Prius and gave us a guided tour commentary of Paris en
route to Cours Saint-Emilion, which is where the wine from southern France used to arrive by train to Paris and was
stored there. Nowadays there is a very nice pedestrian street that is lined on both sides with open-air restaurants and
stores.
We went to a place called Casa del Campo, which is a Spanish tapas restaurant. Our waitress was a young lady from
Venezuela. After another very long and enjoyable meal, Jerome from TDF and his wife Carole gave us an incredible
tour in their car of Paris by night. This was especially appreciated by us because it was our only opportunity to do any
sightseeing in Paris since we were busy from early morning to late night every day at the conference. During the tour,
~ 20 ~
Boletin Nº 63
we saw such famous sights as the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre museum, the fashionable Rue de Rivoli shopping street, the
Champs Elysees, the Arc de Triomphe, the Cathedral of Notre Dame, and even the infamous car tunnel where
Princess Diana's car crashed in 1997.
Friday morning came soon enough, and the final HFCC coordination session. After thanking Jerome Hirigoyen and his
team at TDF for a very successful conference, the meeting officially closed at noon with a drink of French champagne
and a lunch consisting of something called “croaker steak” (which was some kind of fish) and a dessert of citrus fruit
and chocolate chips. In the evening Thais and I had dinner with Sergio Salvatori and Paulo Lazzarini of Vatican Radio
at a restaurant in Paris not far from Montrouge called Cafe Daguerre. The most memorable thing I had there was a
crème brulee with pistachios in it. But lest we give you the impression that delegates at the HFCC Conference spent a
lot of time at coffee breaks, receptions and meals, I should point out that these informal events are the scene of much
conversation and even deal-making which often have profound impact on the international broadcasting scene. In that
regard, the HFCC/ASBU B12 Conference in Paris was quite effective.

Llegan a Europa los guantes del Inspector Gadget con teléfono incorporado
La firma italiana Hi-Fun lanzó esta semana su último producto con el que aspira impactar la moda otoño-invierno
europea: los guantes con teléfono incorporado harán que el gesto de “te llamo” con el pulgar en la oreja y el meñique
en los labios, pueda ser en realidad, la llamada misma.
Conectables al smartphone, vía Bluetooth, el artilugio permite hablar por teléfono como el mismo Inspector Gadget y
sus creadores lo consideran “todo lo opuesto al manos libres”.
Dos modelos desde US$65
Los guantes-teléfono en apariencia no se diferencian de los
tradicionales que solo servían para calentar las manos. Sin embargo
en el dedo pulgar tienen un auricular y en la punta del meñique un
micrófono. Son inalámbricos, pero la recarga se hace a partir de un
puerto USB en cualquier enchufe.
Los modelos son indistintos para hombre y mujer, presentados en
color negro o gris, y cuestan US$65 en Italia donde fueron lanzados.
Los fabricantes esperan cubrir primero el mercado europeo aunque
no descartan que su invento viaje en los próximos meses a Estados
Unidos comenzando a exportar a ese mercado.
Los inventores afirman que el modelo tiene la sola dificultad de que
será necesario seguir usando los modelos celulares de otro tipo,
cuando haga calor, o en lugares donde los guantes no se justifiquen.

AIH17 DXpedition report from Finland
Here's a new DXpedition report from Aihkiniemi in the Finnish Lapland: http://www.dxing.info/dxpeditions/aih17rep.dx
Conditions for AM DXing were not ideal, so we ventured into uncharted territory, focusing on Iranian AM stations. A
new 1000-meter-long Beverage wire to the right direction didn't hurt. And, with a total of 13 1-kilometer-long wires,
there's always something to listen to.
A DXpedition this early in the season allowed for many extracurricular activities, such as building antennas, hiking on
the tundra, more generally enjoying the nature, and shooting the northern lights without freezing your toes off.
AIH18 will follow next weekend, and at http://www.dxing.info/community/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=2686 you can check
out daily what's happening on the Arctic AM dial.

Weird Symbols In Text on YGs
Noticed some odd symbols inexplicably popped up in some of my recent uploaded log reports in some (not all) of my
Yahoo Groups.
Triggers for strange-looking symbols were quotation marks, which resulted in this ( " )
and dashes, which looked like this ( -- )
. . and so forth.
Anyway, did some internet research on this problem and it seems more likely to occur mainly when one uses Yahoo
Mail to email your post to the forum. Something to do with encoding/decoding assumptions. One recommendation
was to use Gmail instead, for cleaner messages.
Will give this a try in the future.

Radioblog. Wado 1280: La Emisora Hispana De Nueva York (EE.UU.)
Posiblemente nunca me hubiera entretenido en indagar sobre la historia de esta emisora, pero como siempre, la
casualidad te pone en el camino. Mi corta escala por la Gran Manzana me puso delante de una preciosa unidad móvil
de WADO (y su gemela de FM). ¡Zas! Foto al canto, por aquello de la historia y así me encontré pergeñando estas
líneas y utilizando los archivos sobre la emisora descubiertos en la red (curiosamente, en algunos casos si empleas el
traductor catalán te da una versión y si utilizas el español te da otra).
WADO es la sucesora de una señal que nació el 30 de enero de 1927: la WGL ( la W indica la costa este en el
territorio norteamericano, o mejor aún, la parte este de los Estados Unidos como antaño la EA identificaba a todas las
emisoras españolas) propiedad de la Internacional Broadcasting Corporation (IBC) cuyo presidente era el Coronel
Lewis Landes.
El 16 de septiembre de 1928 la estación fue vendida a John Iraci y su indicativo cambió a WOV [el indicativo de la
emisora neoyorquina se “largó” hasta Fort Wayne]. Inicialmente la radio estaba destinada a un público heterogéneo y
en los años treinta se decanta por la programación étnica, en este caso para satisfacer el auditorio italiano [Iraci era
originario de Sicilia] que tenía una gran potencia en la sociedad de la época y cuya impronta la encuentra uno en toda
la ciudad, sobre todo en la denominada Little Italia. La WOV se constituyó en la emisora por excelencia para el público
italiano, especialmente tras la gran oleada migratoria provocada por la segunda guerra mundial. La programación la
complementaban con la que lanzaban la WBIL y WPEN de Filadelfia. En 1959 se vendió a Radiodifusoras Bartel y se
le asigna el nuevo indicativo WADO que es el que tenemos en estos momentos y que me encontré grabado en la
unidad móvil con el rostro de uno de los locutores estrella mientras caminaba de mi paseo desde las Naciones Unidas
a la Biblioteca Nacional para tomar el autobús que me devolvería al aeropuerto en el retorno a casa. En la célebre
avenida Madison, cerca de la Quinta. Hasta 1962 la programación fue italiana, los fines de semana se ampliaba con la
oferta en español (por lo tanto se está celebrando el L aniversario de esas emisiones en 2012). Al año siguiente la
WADO realizaba su servicio dominical en inglés, esencialmente de carácter religioso. La programación en español se
consolida en 1964 durante la mayor parte del día (0500-2000), continuando el italiano (2000-0000) y programación
asiática de las 0000-0500. Lamentablemente no he logrado datos sobre esa trancha horaria pero me inclinaría por
creer que era en lengua coreana que en aquellos tiempos tenía una gran colonia fruto de la célebre Guerra de Corea
que aún colea. En 1970 se pasa a programación sólo en español, con un corto período de transición en italiano que
acabará desapareciendo definitivamente al año siguiente.
Los años 80-90 padecerá diversas ventas, reestructuraciones, aumentos de potencia, cambio de transmisores, ajuste
de antenas, etc., desembocando en el 2002 cuando los herederos de Azcárraga “El Tigre”, la adquieren para
UNIVISIÓN. Los interesados en ese gran proceso de concentración radial hispana en los Estados Unidos, para pasar
al gigante mexicano de la comunicación radiofónica y televisiva, pueden acceder al Report nº 25290 de la FCC del

Por supuesto, UNIVISIÓN tiene muchas más estaciones, sobre todo de FM, para ello basta darse una vuelta por la red
o consultar los enlaces de WADO. Asimismo fue incorporando, desde esas estaciones del 2002, una gran cantidad en
el resto del territorio norteamericano, también Canadá y Puerto Rico. Si alguien está interesado por el DX hispano en
el territorio norteño haría bien en procurarse el correspondiente listado que seguramente sería de elaboración propia o
bien tendría que dejarse llevar de acuerdo a su viaje y sus zonas de descanso para poder hacer DX, algo que en los

Estados Unidos no deja de ser un verdadero placer. Por supuesto el tema de las QSL ya es harina de otro costal. La
programación de WADO es sumamente atractiva, lamentablemente no es posible acceder a ella desde fuera del
territorio norteamericano en Internet (o al menos yo no lo he conseguido en varios intentos, el servidor siempre me da
la negativa al acceso porque no se permite desde fuera de los Estados Unidos, pero uno puede suscribirse a su
Newsletter tranquilamente). La red, según el material bibliográfico consultado, tiene 69 emisores que logran cubrir el
73% de la población hispana residente en el gigante norteño. Se habla de una audiencia promedio de diez millones,
algo que la convierten en una de las cadenas preferidas por los que dominan la lengua de Cervantes y en once
ciudades está en primera posición dentro de las preferencias de la radio hispana.
De acuerdo con su web, gerente Carey Davis, los responsables de ventas Rob Corr y Karima Khawja, el director de
noticias Nomar Vizcarrondo y el responsable de las promociones Luis Antonio Valera. Tiene varios personajes estrella,
Coco Cabrera sería, sin duda, uno de ellos y es el que aparece en la unidad móvil que me encontré en la misma
puerta del gigantesco edificio en donde se ubica la emisora. Ino Gómez, Ricardo Espinoza Vázquez, la Doctora Isabel
Gómez-Bassois y una veintena de excelentes voces completa el fantástico elenco de la emisora hispana por
excelencia en la ciudad de Nueva York. La FM es otra parcela en la que también UNIVISIÓN tiene sus estaciones pero
esa sería ya otra historia. Su dirección, por si alguien está de viaje y quiere darse una vuelta es WADO 1280 AM, 485
Madison Avenue, Third Floor, New York, NY 10022 (Estados Unidos).

Japan: NHK awarded International Emmy for News
NHK’s Great East Japan Earthquake Emergency News has won this year’s International Emmy Award in the news category. On
March 11, 2011, the largest earthquake in the country’s history struck Japan, generating a devastatingly destructive tsunami. NHK,
was immediately on the scene, covering the first moments of the disaster as it happened, providing continuous up‐to‐the minute
coverage and keeping the public informed. Within 90 seconds of the earthquake, NHK shifted all TV channels and radio broadcasts
to disaster coverage, repeating the call for evacuation and conveying essential information to protect property and save lives.
NHK continued broadcasting this coverage for eight days on its main channel.
NHK is Japan’s sole public broadcaster. Funded by receiving fees from Japanese households, it has a reputation for impartial,
high‐quality programming, including news programs. Through its four nationwide TV channels, NHK reaches about 50 million
households.
NHK was last awarded an International Emmy in 2011, in the current affairs category, for its ‘Back from the Brink: Inside the
Chilean Mine Disaster’ programme. SOURCE: http://www.abu.org.my

Laos: Radio station for ethnic minorities to be launched in Lao PDR
Lao National Radio (LNR) - with the support of UNESCO’s International Programme for the
Development of Communication (IPDC) – is launching a new local community radio station
in the Xiengkho district of the country next year. “IPDC has been supporting the
development of community media for decades and is particularly sensitive to projects
aiming at strengthening ethnic minority languages”, says Rosa Gonzalez, UNESCO
Advisor for Communication and Information in the UNESCO Bangkok Office.
Xiengkho, one of the 47 poorest districts of Laos, has been chosen as the site for this
project due to the low number of local radio services.
A radio station will be built and equipped with the help of LNR staff and selected trainees
with a particular focus on women. The radio station will primarily provide community-based
radio programmes including ethnic language windows in Lao, Hmong and Khmu.
In line with the project, two mentors will train local radio trainees from the community on technical operation and
maintenance of radio equipment, radio programme production techniques and journalism. The trainees will also
conduct target audience research among the villagers of Xiengkho in order to identify their information needs. The
results will be used to produce target based radio programmes.

Mexico: Concluye al Bienal Internacional de Radio
El investigador Marco Lara Klahr finalizó el seminario "Desafíos del periodismo en la Edad Mediática. Derechos

El investigador y comunicador Marco Lara Klahr finalizó satisfecho el seminario "Desafíos del periodismo en la Edad
Mediática. Derechos Ciudadanos, Legalidad, Cultura de Paz y Seguridad Profesional", que impartió en el marco de la
novena Bienal Internacional de Radio, cuyo programa culmina este sábado 6 de octubre.
Lara Klahr reflexionó sobre el papel que los medios y periodistas juegan en la "normalización" de la violencia y habló
de que los comunicadores mexicanos trabajan sin estándares deontológicos que respeten la legalidad, lo que causa
daño a la comunidad. Se manifestó satisfecho por la participación consistente de profesionales en este tipo de
seminarios, preocupados por realizar una labor informativa socialmente útil y apegada a la legalidad. De acuerdo con
información proporcionada por la bienal, que inició el 1 de octubre pasado, durante tres jornadas los asistentes al
seminario, en su mayoría mujeres, reflexionó y debatió acerca de diversos temas. Algunos de ellos fueron Estado
democrático de derecho y espacio público; Los medios y los periodistas como actores sociales; y La proporcionalidad
de los derechos: libertad de información frente al debido proceso y los derechos de personalidad.
Lo mismo que El daño social de la nota roja y el infoentretenimiento; Ética profesional; y Paradigmas del periodismo
socialmente responsable. Marco Lara, también activista y promotor del periodismo de paz, expuso que "los periodistas
no podemos declararnos derrotados, debemos impulsar procesos de empoderamiento ciudadano y profesional".
Señaló en existe una precarización laboral que lleva a los informadores al estatus de mano de obra desechable, ante
lo cual propuso como opción ejercer una labor informativa con fundamentos legales y éticos", para estar un poco más
seguros. También externó su entusiasmo porque al seminario, cuyo fin es depositar, precisamente, una semilla de
cambio de paradigmas, hay "gente cada vez más joven, preocupada por la manera en la que podría estar dañando a
su comunidad por ejercer un periodismo sin reglas".

Portugal: Radio Amalia, un homenaje a Amalia Rodrigues
Portugal: Radio Amalia, un homenaje a Amalia Rodrigues.
6 OCTUBRE 2012 - 12:50PM — EFE
La estación de radio emite la música de la fadista que falleció a los 79 años y que hoy cumple 13 de muerta. Fue
enterrada con honores del jefe de Estado en el Panteón Nacional, junto a los grandes ilustres de Portugal.
Lisboa • Amalia Rodrigues murió hoy hace 13 años. Pero tanto ella como su música, el fado, siguen vivos en el día a
día de los portugueses en muchos casos gracias a la emisora Radio Amalia, que emite sin descanso en homenaje a la
"reina" indiscutible del género.
Identificado en su momento con el régimen del dictador Salazar, el fado ha ido dejando atrás aquella imagen en blanco
y negro para llenarse de color y consolidarse como uno de los principales símbolos de Portugal, ya considerado
Patrimonio de la Humanidad, en una labor a la que contribuye esa emisora lisboeta. El misticismo que rodea al fado,
desde sus letras al punteo de la guitarra o la emoción que transmite la voz de sus buenos intérpretes, se puede
percibir a través de las ondas desde hace tres años.
La emisora fue creada en 2009 con motivo del décimo aniversario de la muerte de la artista, a la que hoy dedica una
gala especial que retransmite la televisión pública lusa. "Creo que la idea de montar la radio fue el mejor homenaje que
podíamos haberle hecho", dice Augusto Madaleno, director de Programas de la cadena, que conoció personalmente a
la "diva", como llama él a Amalia Rodrigues.
Madaleno explica que el proyecto surgió por una marginación del fado en el resto de radios comerciales, que todavía
continúa hoy en día, y se financia solo con publicidad privada, sin ningún apoyo público. Con estaciones en Lisboa y
Setúbal, la cadena se escucha en todo el territorio luso y la audiencia, según sus datos, reúne los perfiles más
diversos. "Nos oyen niños y jóvenes que empiezan a interesarse por el fado, aunque la mayoría de oyentes tiene entre
30 y 65 años", señala el director de Programas.
Radio Amalia es también una emisora de taxistas, lo que es fácilmente comprobable para cualquier turista que visite
Lisboa. Acostumbrados a largas jornadas laborales, esos conductores figuran entre sus seguidores más acérrimos.
"Para nosotros es muy importante, ya que cualquier extranjero que viene a Portugal muchas veces conoce Radio
Amalia gracias al taxi", reconoce Madaleno. Esta circunstancia es relevante para una cadena que también se puede
escuchar por Internet y tiene numerosos oyentes en países como Francia, Japón, Brasil o Australia.
Este seguimiento internacional es reflejo del éxito mundial que cosechó la propia Amalia Rodrigues, protagonista de
numerosas giras por España, Francia, EU o Canadá.
Sumada a sus papeles como actriz en filmes extranjeros, esa fama internacional la convirtió en la mejor embajadora
de Portugal durante varias décadas. "Era consciente de su condición de estrella, pero a la vez era muy fácil acceder a
ella. Sabía que era una diva, pero también tenía muy claro que siempre sería una persona del pueblo", rememora
Madaleno. La figura de la fadista se ha ido agrandando con el paso del tiempo en su país natal.
Sin embargo, nada más llegar la democracia, tras la Revolución de los Claveles de 1974, le perjudicaron los rumores
sobre sus vínculos con el régimen de Salazar, con el que se la llegó a relacionar sentimentalmente.
Pero también se llegó a contar que había colaborado con comunistas en secreto. Lo cierto es que las especulaciones
sobre su ideología fueron siempre rechazadas por la más grande de las fadistas.
"Nunca puse un pie en la política", aseveró en la que a la postre fue su última entrevista, concedida a la revista Tabú.
Lejos quedan ya esas polémicas. La artista, fallecida a los 79 años, fue enterrada con honores de jefe de Estado y sus
restos descansan hoy en el Panteón Nacional, junto a los grandes ilustres de Portugal.
"Nuestra nueva generación de fadistas ya ha borrado esa idea de que el fado era la canción del antiguo régimen. Esa
imagen se desvaneció", insiste el directivo de Radio Amalia.
Pero reconoce que el fado afronta ahora el reto de no conformarse con el papel de atractivo turístico o guardián del
costumbrismo que se le otorga habitualmente, y de mantener vivo el legado de Amalia, a la que también se conoce
simplemente como "La Voz".

Un tesoro de radios `apola` en silencio, al pie del CTI
Museo. La humedad y las polillas jaquean a veteranas "cantoras" y otros equipos
CARLOS CIPRIANI LÓPEZ
En Uruguay hay 4 museos nacionales y dos de ellos están cerrados: el de Antropología y el de Historia Natural. Allí se
siguen realizando tareas de investigación y conservación del acervo. Pero no se cumple con otro objetivo clave: la
exhibición.
El Museo de Antropología, dependiente del Ministerio de Educación y Cultura, está cerrado por falta del personal de
vigilancia, encargado de monitorear las salas y de prevenir que no se concreten robos.
Dentro de dos habitaciones de la majestuosa casona que ocupa, en Instrucciones y Millán, están además depositadas
las piezas que componen el Museo Viviente de la Radio y las Comunicaciones. Todas ellas fueron reunidas a lo largo
de tres décadas por el técnico y coleccionista Antonio Tormo y su esposa Ligia Ferreira.
Pero cada día que pasa es más difícil albergar allí el millar de piezas de la colección. Resulta notorio el deterioro que
empiezan a sufrir las propias salas en donde se amontonan cajas y muebles repletos de reliquias. Y debido a esas
condiciones son ya visibles montoncitos de polvo de madera en el entorno de estantes sobre los que hay algunos
equipos de radio sin embalaje, atacados por las polillas.
Frente a esta realidad, consultando a gente que de un modo o de otro se halla cercana al tema, hay juicios que se
reiteran: lo que está pasando con el Museo de la Radio "es una vergüenza", "sorprende la indiferencia del Estado", y
"en Europa se pagaría fortunas".
VALOR. Aunque sea difícil realizar una estimación global, Tormo dice que la tasación puede llegar a 10 millones de
dólares, pero agrega que eso no le importa salvo para seguir insistiendo en su aspiración de sensibilizar a las
autoridades competentes y que la colección no se desperdigue por dentro o fuera de fronteras, o que termine
esfumándose por la imposibilidad de mantenerla en condiciones.
El Museo de la Radio se fundó el 15 de mayo de 1991 y hace doce que está depositado en el Museo de Antropología.
En el acervo hay por ejemplo una radio a galena del año 1926 (entre otra docena de aparatos similares), un grabador
de alambre de 1938 en el cual está registrada la voz de Guillermo Marconi. Existen aparatos telefónicos de 1916 y
1950, grabaciones discográficas en una victrola de corneta de 1904, las primeras lámparas de luz de Thomas Alva
Edison fabricadas en 1904, y radiotransmisores de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. También hay rollos de pianola,
trasmisores y receptores de radioaficionados construidos artesanalmente, radioteletipos de la Segunda Guerra
Mundial y posguerra, 5000 válvulas de radio desde 1922, una colección de transistores de primera generación,
videograbadoras y grabadores de cinta, proyectores de cine de comienzos del siglo XX, micrófonos y grabaciones en
cilindros de cera, un parlante-corneta inglés de 1921, un receptor de radio alemán de 1923, entre más cosas. Fuera de
las cajas se ve entre las piezas más valiosas un radiotransmisor cuya procedencia aún se investiga; puede haber
pertenecido al Graf Spee o al Tacoma.
"Antes podíamos decir que estaba depositado aquí todo el material del museo. Ahora está en el CTI. Hay un receptor
norteamericano de 1925 al que se lo está comiendo la polilla. Tenemos varios expedientes presentados, y recibimos
promesas y cuentos de todo tipo sobre el otorgamiento de una casa. Yo ahora estoy haciendo un informe para la
Unesco, pidiendo apoyo internacional. Estoy cansado de solicitarlo acá. No sé qué pasa, pero no somos escuchados",
dijo Tormo a El País.
En la situación de su museo, como él lo recuerda, están el del radioaficionado, que cerró hace unos meses; el de las
telecomunicaciones de Antel que está cerrado desde hace cinco meses "porque lo desmantelaron", y el del ferrocarril,
que tampoco tiene sede.
"Yo invito al señor Ministro de Educación y a la Intendenta de Montevideo a que vengan acá a ver en qué condiciones
está depositado este acervo. Esta es la memoria de las telecomunicaciones en Uruguay. Tenemos una biblioteca con
publicaciones de todas las áreas de la comunicación, desde la época de los cables submarinos, y eso se está
estropeando también por la humedad, se pegan las hojas. Esta obra ya no es mía, fui el pionero, pero esto debe
pertenecer a a todos los uruguayos. Es imposible volver a conseguir este material, que nosotros queremos mostrar no
sólo como piezas de museo, sino funcionando, vivas", comentó Tormo.

En la celebración de los 90 años de la radio, Tormo destaca además que los diarios también están involucrados. "Los
primeros receptores de radio que llegaron a Uruguay vinieron para los diarios El País o El Día, que recibían las
noticias desde Europa. Los diarios contrataban a los radiotelegrafistas de la Armada y del Ejército".
En referencia a nuevas actividades, Tormo explica que ya tiene pronto un guión para realizar un documental sobre la
historia de la radio, que comenzará con los orígenes de la radiotelegrafía, por 1904. Agregó que en la medida de lo
posible continuará con tareas de extensión educativa, concurriendo a escuelas y otros centros interesados en sus
charlas y exposiciones itinerantes.
Tormo creó asimismo el monumento de Guillermo Marconi en Punta del Este, donde el inventor y empresario italiano
vivió durante dos meses, en 1910. El 12 de julio de 1997 se colocó en él la primera placa conmemorativa. El
monumento de la parada 10 ya tiene una decena de placas y en él se organizaron una quincena de homenajes.
La cifra
90 años cumple la radiotelefonía en Uruguay. La primera transmisión de Paradizábal salió al aire el 6/11/22 a las 5PM.
Arturo Toscano: "Ratifico el valor de la colección, única en Uruguay"
"El tema del destino del Museo de la Radio es sustantivo", comentó a El País el director del Museo de Antropología,
Arturo Toscano. "Antonio Tormo venía realizando un gran trabajo de exhibición de piezas de su museo en una casa
que alquilaba en la calle Rivera. Allí organizaba actividades para escolares. En un momento fue desalojado y debió
salir a buscar otro lugar. Mientras tanto siguió haciendo muestras en muchos sitios del país. En aquel momento le
transmití que era una oportunidad para que una institución pública vinculada al tema le diera solución. Pero no
apareció nadie y entonces solicité a la Dirección de Cultura una autorización para albergar en forma transitoria las
colecciones. Fue una resolución de emergencia. Al principio mantuvimos las piezas empacadas en los corredores del
museo, mientras se daba una solución definitiva. Después, decidimos ubicarlas en las dos salas en que siguen
estando hoy. Hemos informado de todo esto a las distintas administraciones. Yo ratifico el valor de la colección, es un
tesoro nacional, único en Uruguay", dijo Toscano.
Apolar. Dormir a pata suelta. Cantora. Receptor de radio. (Dic.del español del Uruguay).

3. Japan DX Report
* Australian Olympic Radio: 1956 Summer Games - 00:47
As you will remember, here in Wavescan two weeks back, we presented the story of the Olympic Games on
shortwave, and we covered the prewar eras up to the year 1936. During the 1924 Summer Games in Paris and the
1928 Summer Games in Amsterdam, there was news coverage on radio about some of the these sports events, but no
live coverage on radio.
Then in the 1932 Winter Olympics at Lake Placid in New York, there was live coverage on radio of some of
these sports events for the 1st time, and these programs were broadcast on mediumwave throughout the United
States, and on international shortwave also. However, as Jim Hilliker pointed out in his research, the Summer
Olympics in Los Angeles were accorded some news coverage on radio, both local mediumwave and international
shortwave, but no live coverage was permitted, even though requests for live radio coverage had been lodged.
However, during the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin, these sports events were accorded wide coverage on
local radio and also on international shortwave. The German government installed a total of 8 additional shortwave
transmitters at 50 kW at Zeesen, near Berlin, specifically to ensure worldwide coverage of these sporting events.
Interestingly, during the 1956 Summer Olympics in Melbourne Australia, extensive news coverage on shortwave
was given to these sporting events, though in a very different way. That is what we look at today here in Wavescan.
The Australian continent is widely separated from all other major land masses on planet Earth. The only way in
and the only way out is by boat or plane. Likewise, for wide spread international news coverage, the only practical way
is by undersea cable, or by shortwave radio.
The very first occasion in which there was shortwave coverage for sports events in Australia was for the British
Empire Games in Sydney during the summer of 1938. These summer games were held in the Cricket Grounds from
February 5 - 12, and they formed part of the 150th anniversary of the founding of the city of Sydney.
The ABC was granted exclusive rights for the live broadcast of these sporting events and local mediumwave
radio covered the major highlights. On shortwave, it is understood that both VK2ME with 10 kW at Pennant Hills & VLR
with 2 kW at Lyndhurst relayed this information to the world.
In order to ensure maximum coverage of the Melbourne Olympics throughout the world, the Australian
government directed that all available shortwave transmitters in use on the continent should be made available for the
flow of news reports to countries overseas. This directive applied to government and commercial shortwave stations,
as well as to those in use by the armed forces.
As a result of this co-operative gesture to the international news media, it is estimated that a total of somewhere
around 50 shortwave transmitters in Australia carried Olympic reports in 1956. These reports were in the form of live
and recorded commentaries, voiced news reports, fax reports, and fast speed Morse reports for publication in
newspapers. The BBC alone co-opted many linguists in Australia to report on the Olympic events in 40 different
languages for inclusion in their World Service broadcasts.
At home, all 160 mediumwave stations throughout the continent, ABC & commercial, carried various forms of
Olympic coverage, as well as the 4 new experimental FM stations operated by the ABC. At the time, television was
very new in Australia, and all 6 stations, in Melbourne & Sydney, ensured that they were ready on air for the occasion.
On shortwave, the ABC Home Services operated 9 transmitters at 10 kW & 2 kW in 4 states, as well as 1 at
Port Moresby in New Guinea, and they all carried Olympic news at whatever was on the air from their local
mediumwave counterpart at the time.
Two additional transmitters were installed at Radio Australia Shepparton for increased Olympic coverage, and
these were an American made 50 kW RCA unit on the air as VLD, and a 10 kW Australian made STC unit as VLY.
These 2 new units supplemented the coverage from the 3 already existing units, VLA & VLB at 100 kW and VLC at 50
kW.
The very new shortwave communication station located at Doonside near Sydney in New South Wales also
carried Olympic news coverage, though it is not known just how many transmitters were in use for this purpose. It is
known though that several transmitters were already on the air, ranging in power from 10 kW up to around 30 kW.
~ 31 ~
Boletin Nº 63
The Doonside radio station was a replacement for the more familiar AWA station at Pennant Hills that had been
on the air with the pre-war programming of VK2ME, and the wartime programming of Australia Calling, Radio Australia.
However, to ensure adequate coverage of the Olympic events in 1956, Pennant Hills was kept alive as a back up for
Doonside as needed.
It is understood that the huge radio transmitting station operated by the Royal Australian Navy at Belconnen,
near the federal capital Canberra, was the main carrier for the flow of news to overseas countries. At the height of its
capacity, this station VHP, was on the air with 38 shortwave transmitters and 44 antenna systems. However, it would
be obvious that not all of these units were turned over for temporary Olympic usage.
It is also possible that the navy radio station near Darwin in the Northern Territory, station VHI, acted at times as
a relay station on behalf of its Belconnen counterpart VHP, as was the case when required for the onward transmission
of regular navy messages.
We are told that the army radio station at Diggers Rest in Victoria with its shortwave transmitters also forwarded
Olympic messages from its quite new re-built facility. In addition, it is also stated that air force transmitter stations
carried Olympic news, but the details of these facilities is at present unknown.
At the time of the Melbourne Olympics, the AWA Beam Station at Fiskville in Victoria was still in use for the
coveyance of international messages, Morse & voice. It would appear that their 3 transmitters at around 10 kW under
the callsigns VIY & VIZ would have been utilized for Olympic purposes as well.
Thus it was, that for a period of just 17 days, Australia’s massive shortwave capability was pressed into service
in the interests of international good will and friendship. In fact, it was stated in the newspapers at the conclusion of the
Melbourne Olympic Games of 1956 that they were rightly nicknamed, the Friendship Games.

* World’s 1st Jamming Transmissions - 09:49
International radio monitors in our world of today are quite familiar with the matter of the jamming of radio
broadcast programming. For example, some of the countries in the Middle East and the Far East are currently
jamming the broadcast of what they consider undesirable programming from another country, on both shortwave and
mediumwave.
The usual procedure is to tune a jamming transmitter onto the same channel as the incoming and supposedly
undesirable broadcasts, and then modulate the jamming transmitter with noise, or music or noisy programming. In this
way, it becomes very difficult or even impossible for listeners in the target country to hear the programming from the
distant radio station.
* Insert: Jamming transmission
Back during the era of the Cold War, shortwave listeners all around the world were aware of multitudes of
jamming transmissions that were heard all across every international shortwave band. This annoying procedure
began around the year 1948.
However, it was on the evening of November 29, 1988, that the Soviet Union ceased to jam all foreign radio
stations. Thus it was that the extensive jamming era that lasted for 40 years was now over. It is stated that when the
USSR switched off their massive network of jamming stations, they were operating more than 1600 jamming
transmitters in about 120 jamming radio centers.
Radio historians tell us that the earliest known jamming of radio broadcast programming took place in the late
1920s. During that era, Berlin was jamming the broadcasts of Radio Komintern in Moscow.
At that time, Moscow was on the air with 40 kW on 1450 metres (207 kHz) under the callsign RA1. The antenna
tower was the famous and historic Shukov Tower, standing more than 500 feet tall that was located for so long at 37
Shabolovskaya Street in Moscow.
However, the story of the jamming of wireless transmissions goes back much further than that. Back in the era
of wireless experimentation under the famous Guglielmo Marconi, it was discovered that two wireless transmitters on
the air at nearby locations at the same time succeeded in turning the Morse Code signals of both transmissions into an
unintelligible mess, a hopeless garble. This was simply an unintended case of jamming, due to the fact that the
wireless emanations in that era were untuned and very wide band.
In September 1899, Marconi visited the United States at the invitation of the New York Herald. It was arranged
that he would send out news releases in Morse Code on the progress of the 10th America’s Cup, a yacht race between
two contenders, the American “Columbia” owned by the financier J. P. Morgan & the British “Shamrock” (1) owned by
Sir Thomas Lipton of tea fame.
In order to cover the race as it proceeded off the coast of New Jersey, Marconi placed wireless equipment on
the ship “Ponce”, owned by the Puerto Line, and the “Mackay Bennett”, a cable ship at anchor near the Sandy Hook
Lighthouse. During the three stages of the race, lasting for 2½ weeks, Marconi successfully Morsed the information
~ 32 ~
Boletin Nº 63
back to the New York Herald. We might add, the American contender, “Columbia” won the three successive events
outright.
Two years later, there was a re-run of the same race at the same location between the same two sparring
partners, J. P. Morgan with his same “Columbia” and Lipton with a newly designed yacht, the “Shamrock 2”. However,
due to the success of the Marconi news reports by wireless 2 years earlier, two other wireless companies got into the
act.
Marconi equipment was installed into the ship “Mindora” with the landbased station installed at the Navesink
Twin Lighthouse, and news bulletins were Morsed ashore for AP, the Associated Press.
Another company, headed up by Lee de Forest, placed wireless equipment on an old schooner, the “Maid of the
Mist” which was towed around by the tugboat “William J. Sewell”. The de Forest news bulletins were Morsed ashore
for the Publishers Press association.
In addition the International Wireless Telegraph company also installed wireless equipment on board ship and at
a landbased location at Galilee in coastal New Jersey. Morse code coverage from this station did at times produce
some form of jamming against the transmissions from the Marconi & de Forest stations.
Initially there was some on air squabbling between the Marconi & the de Forest stations due to the fact that both
temporary wireless stations were using untuned equipment, but for the benefit of both, they worked out a mutually
agreeable sharing of time for their transmissions. Once again, the American “Columbia” was the winner over the British
“Shamrock 2”.
However, two years later again, there was another running of the America’s Cup, the 12th since the original
event in 1851, when the American yacht, “America” won the race around the Isle of Wight in the English Channel;
hence the name, “America’s Cup”. In the 1903 event, the American yacht, “Reliance” owned by another financier
Cornelius Vanderbilt was competing against the British “Shamrock 3”, owned still by Sir Thomas Lipton. During this
event, there was at times some form of deliberate jamming apparently by a 3rd party.
Both the American Marconi company and the Lee de Forest company placed wireless equipment on ships hired
for the occasion so that they could transmit news bulletins back to the shore. However, there was this 3rd contender,
and it was Dr. Gustav P. Gehring and his International Wireless Telegraph company with a powerful wireless station at
the Navesink Twin Lights Lighthouse.
It was arranged in advance that the Gehring station would transmit long dashes in Morse Code, and that the
arrangement of these multiple dashes would indicate various aspects of information associated with the yacht race.
Even though these very long dashes in Morse Code did signify news information, the real purpose was to jam the
transmissions for the other two news organizations, Associated Press & Publishers Press Association. This jamming
transmitter succeeded in totally obliterating the news bulletins on behalf of the two other news organizations, AP &
PPA.
The results of this 12th America’s Cup were that the American yacht “Reliance” won the three stages of the
1903 race, and neither AP nor PPA received any reliable news bulletins by wireless. This was the 1st known case of
the deliberate and planned jamming of wireless transmissions, and it happened just 109 years ago, in the summer of
the year 1903.

Radio Rossii
On the upper side of the Radio frequency Russia has a strong rumble on frequencies : 12070, 13665, 7215, 9480 kHz.
It is not out of the studio, as well as during the news to 567, 4050, 6085, etc. is missing. If was not familiar with the
Russian language, I would think it is Saudi Arabia - they have been for ten years a number of transmitters can be heard
with such a buzzing sound. May not be using the exact word for this sound.
(Rumen Pankov, Sofia, Bulgaria / “deneb-radio-dx”)
on September 27, the day on 13665 kHz especially buzzing, so that I couldn't normally listen to and turned off. It is
clear that this is a defect of the transmitter in Moscow, which broadcasts Radio of Russia at all frequencies.

BOLIVIA
4716.71, Radio Yura, weak with mx 0105 on 9/18. Also hrd various mornings at 1000+. (Perry – Illinois)
6154.95, Radio Fides, La Paz, fair signal but impaired by lots of static and t-storm crashing on 9/28. 1013 tune-in to
note Bolivian huaino-flavored ballad in progress. YL GMT-4 t/ck at 1014 and then into long ad string. 1016 orchl
fanfare and YL “ ...desde La Paz . . . el dia de hoy” 1018 CP theme on guitar with occasional OM SS talkover, promo.
1019 YL eco ads and then live studio ancr. Fading by 1027. (Perry – Illinois)
6134.82, Radio Santa Cruz, Sta. Cruz de la Sierra, 0950 on 10/4 tune-by noted with huge signal. Locutor saying “5 de
la manana, las cinco de la manana y 50 minutos . . . muy buenos dias, amables oyentes. Muy Buenos dias, Santa Cruz
y todo Bolivia . . .” Burst of CP folkloric music, then more anmts and finally into music. Usual het but also
atmospheric noise and t-storm static crashes hampering. (Perry – Illinois)
BRAZIL
4865.02, Radio Verdes Florestas, Cruz do Sul, very strong lately and a nice signal on 10/4 0935 past 0945 and again
at 1017 recheck when in morning news show with 2 ancrs. Tuned in 0935 and programming already in progress, so
believe signed on nominally 0930, as checked a few minutes just before that time and nothing was on the
fqy. Programming to TOH was mainly PP ballads. Good ID 0945 when locator gave fqys, also. Bassy and booming
canned ID, but then low-talking live ancr followed. This one often heard well past otherBrazilians having faded out,
due to QTH in far western Brazil. Seekers of CP Radio Logos, pls note! (Perry – Illinois)
Rdif. Roraima, noted with excellent power tho usual buzzy distorted signal at 0905 on 10/4, PP discussion between
two men who were laughing, joking around. 0909 clear mention of “Roraima” and still strong at 0926 recheck, tho
deeply in that mushy, spurious noise. Their engineering staff needs to fix this already, hi. (Perry – Illinois)
4785.00, Unid Brazilian noted 0912 past 1000 on 10/4, fading up to very decent signal but no ID, likely either R.
Caiari , Porto Velho (formerly on 4785.1) or R. Brasil, Campinas (formerly on 4784.5-4784.01). OM with many cheery
“MBD!”s plus sound of roostercrowing at 0925, amidst pgm of ranchera-like country music. Tho fairsignal, lots of
atmospheric noise and t-storm static, making it hard
to copy anmts. (Perry – Illinois)
4965.10, another Unid Brazilian spotted 10/4 at 0925 with fair signal and nondescript music. 0930 OM PP
anmts. 0934 fanfare and talk show continuing. Radio Alvorada, Parintins, used to be here, perhaps them. (Perry –
Illinois)
COLOMBIA
5909.95, Alcaraván Radio, Puerto Lleras, regularly heard with a reliably big signal. 9/18 at 1040, very nice with arpabacked romantic ballads. Usual musical time check at 1045, following pattern of first OM ID “Alcaravan Radio!” then
time check and then YL providing yet another ID. Continuing with romantic pleasant HJ guitar ballads. (Perry – Illinois)
COSTA RICA
5954.28, Radio Republica, Guapiles, noted 0057 on 9/18 with Y YLs in SS dialogue. Fair signal and best in ECSBLSB. Horrible QRMing noise, sporadically covering station. (Perry – Illinois)
ECUADOR
4781.66, Radio Oriental, Tena, noting this one several times recently, most recently this morning 10/1 at 1100 shortly
after sign-on (not there at earlier check), caught with YL live SS anmts in progress, canned ads and then some regional
news briefs around 1104 with mtns of Costa Rica, Colombia and Honduras. Tentative ID at 1106 sounded like a quick
“Radio Oriental” f/by ad with musica ecuatoriana in background. Rather mushy modulation, fades in and out, and sig
lost by 1108. First hrd on 9/18 at *1057, some kind of musical tuning signal first noted, followed by OM apparently in
opening anmts at 1058, musical ad at 1100. Sig faded down fast and soon lost. Also heard at 2328 t/in on 9/28, eco
ads, OM with apparent sports nx briefs in SS. Fading up to better level by 2340. Occasional RTTY bursts QRMing the
fqy, also bad t-storm noise this date. Fun to hear a new one, for me, and tnx to Dave Valko for his recent 100% ID on
this one. This should be much better heard in a few weeks, as the morning 60 meter window into Western LA runs
later into morning.(Perry – Illinois)
4814.98, tentatively Radio El Buen Pastor, Saraguro, hrd for first time in a while, 10/3 at 1052 tune-by when noted
choral duo harmonizing along with country-style guitar. At 1054, very bassy-voiced deejay in SS, too muffled to read,
but this was followed by religious chorale at 1057. Signal fading down fast and nearly gone by 1100. Good to know
that this one is still around. (Perry –Illinois)
4781.57, Radio Oriental, Tena, noted 10/2 with poor signal at 2330 tune in, only traces at this point, Fading up to
decent readability by 2342, when OM vocalizing sentimental ballad with flute arrangement accompanying. 2346 OM SS
en eco anmts, f/by strummed guitar music and, at 2349, schmaltzy violin + piano mx. 2352 very bassy-voiced deejay
f/by HC melodia, guitars and OM. At 2356, pretty plucked acoustic guitar but smashed by brief RTTY bursts which
~ 45 ~
Boletin Nº 63
seem right on top of this fqy. Pgming and carrier seemed to disappear around 0002*, at least, that’s when I was finally
certain I could no longer tease any pgming out of the ether! (Perry – Illinois)
4781.70, Radio Oriental, Tena, sat on this fqy from 1055 on 10/4 and was rewarded with abrupt *1058 with catchy,
upbeat HC instrumental music, signal quite surprisingly nice, and than a canned opening ID anmts by OM in SS at
1100, including fqys and “Radio Oriental”. Dead air 1101 as perhaps live locutora asleep at the wheel . She finally
started a minute later, but with signal’s modulation much, much lower than the previous recorded anmt. Into typical
pgming of canned ads en eco, time checks, OM & YL apparent morning news chat. Left it at 1112 with faded signal too
frustrating to stay with. (Perry – Illinois)
MYANMAR
7110, Thazin Radio (or whatever this is, at this time, I can’t keep it straight! Hi) absolutely pinning the S-meter at 1201
on 10/2, as we heard last year, they love to play local Burmese ‘covers’of old US pops. Today recognized “Total
Eclipse of the Heart” and others like this. YL ancr. Signal very nice still at 1215. Delightful programming and should be
there for us, nearly every morning, this winter season. Also fair signal 5985.86 presumed
Myanmar at same time. (Perry – Illinois)
PAPUA NEW GUINEA
3235, Radio West New Britain, noted 1130 on 9/30 with choral hymns pgm, pretty good signal and only a touch
weaker than the PNG kingpin on 90 meters right now, 3260. Thanks Ron Howard for the ID on this one. Was
surprised to hear something here while bandscanning for PNGs, and didn't expect to find a resident for this fqy! (Perry
- Illinois)
10/2 was an interesting morning for PNG, with strong signals from several stations among many which showed
up. In general, PNG as heard here in Central USA follows patter of traces of carriers by 1100, full fade-in by 1130,
peaks around 1145. Fading out past TOH, and noise coming up due to local daybreak in Chicago area.
3385, R. East New Britain, Rabaul, noted 1135 with pop vocals, live OM DJ in EE at 1142. Nice signal but a big
muffled. Disco-like music at 1146 and then a reggae-like rap song at 1152.
3365, NBC Milne Bay, Alotau, weak
3315, NBC Manus, Lorengau, fair signal 1150
3345, 3325 and 3275 – not noted
3260, NBC Madang, best PNG on the band for me, just beautiful signal at 1155 check.
3235, Radio West New Britain, medium signal peaks to strong by 1135, one of best on the band.
3205, NBC Sandaun, Vanimo, W Sepik, fair signal during this window.
(Perry – Illinois)
PERU
4774.95, Radio Tarma, reliably excellent most mornings -- such as 9/29 with morning folklorico program at 1035.
Lovely fast-paced huaynos with guitar bass and arpa. OM live t/cks such as at 1035, “… cince de la manana y 35
minutos en Radio Tarma!”. Most mornings, is the best OA on the band other than 4810 Logos, which at times really
booms in. With my new beveridge antenna pointed at the Andes, am really enjoying the morning DX in the 1000-1100
time slot. Bandscan shows nearly daily visits from (fqys approx.) 4700 San Miguel, 4747 Huanta, 4775 Tarma, 4810
Logos, 4955 Amauta, 5039a Junin. Wonder where some of the others, like LV Selva 4825a, are? Brazilians a little
earlier are also nice, including: 4805, 4885, 4895, 4915, 4925, 5035. (Perry – Illinois)
4826.58, presumed Radio Sicuani, Sicuani, decent signal on a great Andes morning today, 10/3. First noted OM
locator in SS, weakly, at 0955. OA mx bursts 0957 and ancr talking over. At 1000 nice clear t/ck by OM for “…las cinco
de la manana . . . en la alma de Peru . . .” Into thumping guitar bass and arpa huayno, with locator cutting in and out,
over the music for a few minutes. “Amigos oyentes! . . .” Signal building and starting to peak around 1012 when
ad long ad string stretched to 1016. At 1020 signal now quite good and seemed regional news or mensajes, OM
mentions “…en la ciudad de Huancavelica . . .” followed by an apparent phone-ins interview with a higher-voiced guy
(or YL?). More telephone call-ins followed. At 1030 orchl theme and OM talkover, could have been prayer or ad.
Locutor has a great deep bass voice, wonderful ‘pipes’ for the radio, hi. Faded down a bit so left this at 1033 to look for
more OA treasures on the bands. Never got a 100% ID but everything else fits like a glove . . . also, this measured fqy
is certainly part of the DNA for this specific Peruvian. (Perry – Illinois)
4955.00, Radio Cultural Amauta, Huanta, gorgeous signal 10/3 at´1038 tune-in. Clear signal, S-9, nspirational mx
featuring OA YL with very high voice, sing-talking over western orchl mx. 1039 OM ancr, “…Son las cinco de la
manana y 39 minutos en Radio Cultural Amauta . . .” Continued in lengthy sermonish spiel, mentioning for instance “ .
. . gracias, Nuestro Senor . . .”. Congrats to RCA for their technical achievement: not only are they spot-on their
nominal fqy, they are also pouring in most mornings with one of the top two or three signals out of the Andes! (Perry –
Illinois)
5039.10, Radio Libertad de Junin, noted 10/3 (and nearly EVERY morning) at 1044 tune-in, OM with ID-t/ck at what
seemed to be end of national news pgm. Into pgm of musica folklorica at 1045 with arpa and guitar huayno, with YL
singing assumed QQ. Very nice signal. One of the most reliable of all the remaining Peruvians on the air, probably
second to only Radio Tarma 4775 in the mornings. (Perry – Illinois)
~ 46 ~
Boletin Nº 63
5120.01p, Radio “Ondas del Suroriente”, Quillabamba, presumed´the Peruvian here on 10/3 at 1047 check when
heard Peruvian arpa huayno in progress. At 1048, very boomy voiced OM in SS, very difficult to read. At 1050, into
more OA folklorico pgming. Have heard morning broadcasts out of Ondas del Suroriente here last winter. Seems to
sign on kinda late, propagationally, like 1045 or so, just sneaking-in before the current bottom falls out on the
USA/Andes morning path around 1100++. Should be better soon, as the morning openings lengthen as the season
progresses. (Perry – Illinois)
4774. 96, Radio Tarma, Tarma, usual brilliant signal 1009 check on 10/4, with usual morning OA folklorico pgm. YL
huayno w/ arpa and plucked bass of guitar. Music cranked down and then deejay talks over with quickie t/cks, MBDs,
etc. Not there a few minutes earlier when sweeping band, so probably signed on a little later than nominal *1000.
Consistently the best Peruvian signal on 60 meters in the morning. (Perry – Illinois)
4747.09, Radio Huanta 2000, noted with only fair-good signal 1015 on 10/4, after going missing the previous day,
which had been, propagationally, a banner opening into the Andes. (Perry – Illinois)

Yesterday, 29 September 2012, took place the first (technical) broadcasting of a student radio station broadcasting of
the St. Petersburg State University telecommunications (SPbGUT) them. M. A. Bonch-Bruevich state University of
telecommunications at a frequency of 1593 kHz.
The boys were all administrative authorization of the service operation of the new building the prospectus of the
Bolsheviks (it was harder and longer than licensing documents on the radio :-)), hanged antenna and went on the air!
Power of the transmitter around 10 Watt (allowed 100), the antenna V-dipole, each the canvas of 47 meters:

From yesterday's letter:
"Sergey, Hello!
And so it happened! Today we finally made the antenna and connect to her transmitter, which were designed by my
students. All participants of the process have fun:) Antenna hanged so, as we are with you and want. 2 beams of voles
on 47 meters each. From the bottom to 3 insulator (thank you for them!) and stretching from the wire and then a rifle to
a lamp-post. The top two beams agree, insulators and stretching from the wire at the mast of a small. Soldered coaxial
cable. The transmitter is installed at the technical floor, which is the coaxial cable only 10 meters long. On the car ride
with the receiver. For a couple of blocks heard. Here we have such cases. Sergey."
Well, they still have a lot of what to tailor, because the 10-watt broadcast AM transmitter with an antenna must be heard
at least kilometers on 6-7 (on household broadcast of the AM receiver) in the conditions of city building.

In launching the radio station "Radio of Bonch" (which is the identification of the station on the air) participated SaintPetersburg DX Club. That is why our forces was made and hung antenna. The test translation was carried out on 29
September 2012, with 10.49 to 12.15 on the frequency 1593.31 kHz. Radiation power was not measured, but, it seems,
does not exceed 5 (instead of 10) Watt. Transferred the Western music with the identification of "Radio of Bonch"
between songs. In the nearest plans - an exact adjustment of the frequency of the transmitter and the increase in
output power up to par. Let me remind you that at the radio station "Radio Open City" 684 kHz/10 kW more than 5

KYRGYZSTAN Radio Maranatha/Hit Shortwave, Bishkek heard on 5130 at 1448 January 13 [2011], carrier came on,

again. (Martien Groot-HOL, dxld via WDXC Contact magazine)

Note: the 5.1 MHz area is a prime spot for 2 x IF receiver images which one must beware of if the rig is subject to
those: 5130 kHz could originate on 6030 or 6040 hmmm, look at that, it was reported to have moved from 6030 to
5130, coincidence?
All this could be pointless, if the original item from Shukhrat above was axually saying it is *NOT* heard now!
transformed into the opposite by stupid machine translation. (Glenn Hauser-OK-USA, dxld)
Probably Persian station on 5130 kHz seems to be Radio Sedaye Zindagi in Dari (Afgan-Persian) for Afghanistan. I
copied ID of "Radio Sedaye Zindagi" in Feb. 2012. The condition was bad under the influence of OTH from China in
Japan. http://www.sadayezindagi.com (Sei-ichi Hasegawa-JPN, dxld)
Which says, "the home of Afghan Christian Radio", and not 5130 kHz, but is this outdated:? "Afghan Radio Broadcast
Times: You can listen to Radio Sadaye Zindagi every morning at 7:00 am on the 31 meter band (9790 kHz). And every
evening at 7:30 pm on the 25 meter band (11755 kHz)." (Glenn Hauser-OK-USA, dxld)

RUSSIA On the upper side of the Radio frequency Russia has a strong rumble on frequencies : 12070, 13665, 7215,
9480 kHz. It is not out of the studio, as well as during the news to 567, 4050, 6085, etc. is missing. If was not familiar
with the Russian language, I would think it is Saudi Arabia - they have been for ten years a number of transmitters can
be heard with such a buzzing sound. May not be using the exact word for this sound. (Rumen Pankov-BUL, "denebradio-dx", RUSdx Sept 30)
On September 27, the day on 13665 kHz especially buzzing, so that I couldn't normally listen to and turned off. It is
clear that this is a defect of the transmitter in Moscow, which broadcasts Radio of Russia at all frequencies.
(Alexander Egorov-UKR, "deneb-radio-dx", RUSdx Sept 30)

carried out on the territory of the Russian companies, more than 50 per cent of which are foreign individuals or legal
entities.
"We just belong to this category of companies. And as always respect the laws of the Russian Federation, we will abide
by it and henceforth. Therefore, 10 November we will leave from the air", - said Glushkova.
"We are developing the multimedia strategy, and it means, that as the main platform for broadcasting will now use the
Internet," she added.
