Cette radio émet depuis le centre ondes courtes d’Issoudun, dans l’Indre, géré par TDF. Comment expliquer qu’une radio installée à Miami à quelques encablures de Cuba utilise des installations françaises éloignées de plusieurs milliers de kilomètres ? La puissance des structures de TDF Issoudun permet d’arroser en ondes le monde entier, contournant les brouillages éventuels. Anciennement Télédiffusion de France, l’actionnariat de TDF comprend Texas Pacific Group, aujourd’hui TPG Capital (42 %), la Caisse des dépôts et consignations (24 %), Ardian (ex-Axa, 18 %) et Charterhouse Capital Partners (14 %). TPG Capital est l’un des plus importants fonds d’investissement nord-américains. Parmi ses principaux conseillers et représentants en France figure Bernard Attali (frère jumeau de Jacques). C’est TPG Capital qui a obtenu de TDF l’ouverture d’un espace pour la radio antigouvernementale cubaine, le contrat ayant été obligatoirement validé par un représentant de l’État.

Brasil Central barely audible, no chance vs the scratchy spur from 11780 RNB, matched as usual by another one around 11745 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** BURUNDI [non]. VOA has just added broadcasts to Burundi, as in a press release sent at 1548 UT May 11, and also here: http://www.insidevoa.com/content/voa-boosts-broadcasts-to-burundi-as-civilians-flee-political-violence/2762849.html It even gives SW times and frequencies! But no sites: 0400-0530 & 1930-2000 on 7350, 9815, 11905 1600-1630 on 13630, 15460, 17530 13630 is already scheduled from 1630 in Portuguese via Botswana 15460 & 17530 already scheduled 1600-1630 Sats only as `Kin` language via São Tomé. I didn`t get to checking these three until 1629 May 11, 5 none heard, as propagation is certainly subnormal, and all supposed to continue past 1630 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** OKLAHOMA. 1120, May 11 at 1524 UT, KETU/KEOR carrier is on, from the direxion of Sperry but very weak and can`t make out any modulation. This is one of its characteristic modes, which could last for months: transmitter on at much reduced power, accomplishing nothing (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** OKLAHOMA. 1640, May 11 at 1200 UT, KZLS Enid-Hennessey-OKC, yet again open carrier/dead air with some hum. Not checked again until 1538 UT when it is remodulating. Storm/power outage could be no excuse this time. Amazing how cavalierly some stations are managed around here (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** SOUTH CAROLINA [and non]. 11670, Sunday May 10 at 2258, collision between Brother Scare via WHRI, and Radio Habana Cuba, making SAH of about 3.8 Hz, but WHRI goes off a minute later. Latest HFCC regs for WHRI show 250 kW, 173 degrees in SpaEng, daily at 20-21, and Sat/Sun at 2223. No RHC in HFCC, of course, but own sked shows 11670 at 23-04, so only a brief overlap as long as it doesn`t come on earlier. BTW, if you reach an RHC frequency schedule via the /eo Esperanto page, it`s still the old expired B-14 one. Go back to the main Spanish homepage and find A-15 in pdf on a drop-down under Interesantes (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** SUDAN [and non]. After finding R. Dabanga on 11645 ex-11650, May 10, I check again May 11 at 0506, but can`t hear it on either --- just tone jamming on 11650. Meanwhile, Ivo issued a schedule with 11645 as a new frequency as if it were a permanent change, which remains to be heard. 13800, the other R. Dabanga frequency, checked May 11 at 0508: hi-pitched tone jamming but here too cannot hear any Dabanga. Could it be off or totally moved/rescheduled? I haven`t checked lately for their evening broadcast, but do so May 11 at 1523, and can`t hear it on any of: 15150, 15550 (just WJHR) or 17600. Propagation however, has been degraded with K-indices of 4 at 06 and 3 at 15 UT May 11. Madagascar site should still be getting thru if not Vatican (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1772 monitoring: not confirmed Sunday May 10 at 2100 on WRMI 15770; nor on JBA 7570. Recheck of WRMI schedule for 21-22 still shows on 15770, Sundays at 2100-2130, WORLD OF RADIO; and on 7570, End Times Coming, which is apparently what we were hearing on both. System D and System F programming for reasons unknown often gets mixed up, or only one or the other on both frequencies. WOR 1772 is confirmed on the much more reliable Sunday 2300 transmission via WRMI 11580. WOR 1772 also confirmed on Area 51 webcast, starting UT Monday May 11 at 0300, but WBCQ 5110v unchecked, which I should have, considering what happened last week.

Radio technology has seen very little innovation and development since FM stereo was introduced in the 1960s http://mybroadband.co.za/news/broadcasting/125718-digital-radio-which-way-will-south-africa-go.html Radio technology has seen very little innovation and development since FM stereo was introduced in the 1960s. It was the sound revolution of the time, but little has happened since FM took over local broadcasting. It caused the demise of AM stations and the shortwave services of the SABC and LM radio. The Southern Africa Digital Broadcasting Association (SADIBA) issued a report in 2002 in which it said “to remain commercial attractive, radio as a medium will have to deliver improved quality service, greater choice, interactivity and multi-media. Digital radio technologies must rise to the challenge and deliver the multimedia radio of the future.” In the document SADIBA made recommendations on the critical aspects to be considered in order to allow for the introduction of digital radio in South Africa. Little seems to have happened since 2002 until last month when the subject was extensively discussed at the SADIBA Conference where the 2002 paper re-emerged and digital radio mondiale (DRM), one of the technologies, came into the limelight with international speakers and a demonstration of DRM by the BBC transmitting DRM from their shortwave relay station on Ascension Island with CD clarity – no noise, no interference. Discussing the advantages of DRM, Ruxandra Obreja, head of digital radio development at the BBC world service and chairman of the DRM Consortium said that DRM and DRM+ have proved to be the obvious choice for digital radio. But not everyone would agree with that. Let us consider some of the various digital radio technologies available. IDAB is based on in-band-on channel (IBOC) technology which looks at inserting the digital signal within the existing FM and AM channels without affecting other FM or AM transmissions. FM IBOC is designed to operate in a 200 kHz FM channel allocation. It would have been very impractical to introduce FM IBOC into South Africa without re-engineering the current FM frequency plan based on 100 kHz channel. According to the 2002 SADIBA paper the most established of all the digital radio technologies is the Eureka 147 system. The technology is based on an open standard defined in a range of the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) documents. But it requires different frequency bands which in itself is problematic given the scarcity of spectrum oin the UHF bands which are demanded by satellite communication channels (VSat) and wireless broadband. The so-called digital dividend will also not provide the required spectrum as that process will take a long time to materialise. Obreja believes that DRM and DRM+ is the obvious solution. DRM, the acronym for digital radio mondiale, is promoted by a consortium of broadcasters, manufactures’ research institutes and stakeholders that have endeavoured to work toward a world-standard for digital broadcasting in the frequencies initial below 30 MHz, operating on the AM and shortwave broadcasting bands. Since the original development engineers have moved ahead and DRM+ emerged, the name applied to the DRM standard when used on the VHF frequencies. “The initiative to extend DRM began with a vote at the 2005 General Assembly to begin the design, verification and testing of the parameters needed to allow DRM to operate in the VHF broadcasting bands between; primarily band I and band II,” said Obteja. The design process began shortly afterwards and key decisions were made to ensure that the extension completely shared the successful design philosophy of DRM – it is “DRM but at higher frequencies”. Its spectrum usage parameters are determined from the internationally agreed norms in the FM band (88 to 108 MHz). Therefore it has an occupied bandwidth of 96 kHz and a frequency grid of 100 kHz. DRM+ provides bit rates from 35 kbps to 185 kbps at SNRs from 2 dB to 14dB and, like DRM, permits up to four services. It is therefore a flexible solution allowing single or small numbers of audio services to be broadcast together. During the process of gaining endorsement from the ITU for DRM’s extension to the VHF bands, test results from various field trials conducted around the world were submitted. One of the interesting trials was carried out in December 2011 by Vatican Radio carrying out broadcasting tests of DRM+1 in the VHF band II at 103, MHz. The aim of the tests was to verify the performance of DRM+ in a difficult interference scenario such as the FM VHF band II in Rome and to check the compatibility of the digital technology with existing antenna arrays having complex RF coupling systems such as the one located in the Vatican. The frequency used was assigned to the Vatican in the GE84 Agreement and was chosen for two main reasons: it is not used during a few timeslots in the morning and it suffers from some strong interference coming from stations operating at 103,7 MHz and 104,00 MHz located close to Rome. The tests were carried out taking into account the normal programme schedule. During the tests the digital transmitter was connected to the antenna feeder via a changeover, leaving the analogue transmitter in stand-by. The antenna array is a complex system: four FM transmitters at different power levels share the same antenna with elliptical polarisation and omnidirectional horizontal radiation pattern. The results were great. Acceptable stereo coverage under mobile reception conditions has been verified in areas where predicted field strength is comparable with 44 dBmV/m and interference is negligible. 7 Using the most robust configuration for DRM+, it was possible to achieve better coverage in full stereo than an analogue FM signal; the overall subjective listening experience was better than that of FM interfered with by splashes coming from adjacent stations. With South Africa’s poor performance in changing from analogue to digital TV, it may be some time before government will applies its mind to take a decision on digital sound radio. The first step have however been taken by commercial enterprises. Pulpit Radio is conducting a DRM pilot from their transmitting station at Kameeldrift near Pretoria. The 50 kW transmitter was installed by Broadcom International and made history with the first DRM audio broadcast in the Southern African region on 1440 kHz AM. “The results were very good. The station was received in Botswane some 400 km away with CD quality audio,” Obreja said. One of the issue is however the availability of receivers but Ruxandra Obreja said that experience from elsewhere where DRM was introduced local industry began manufacturing. “This will be a great opportunity to grow South Africa’s electronic manufacturing industry.” There is software available to decode the DRM signals using a sound card and a dongle is under development that can be used on a laptop or even other devices that have a USB port. With DRM, the use of medium and shortwave will open up many new radio channels. Each DRM channel can carry three radio programmes and one data channel requiring very narrow bandwidth of less than 5 kHz. Another advantage is that the system is also more energy efficient. Siddhartha Bhattacharjee Prashant Pandya en Indian Philatelists' Forum Special Cover on 300th Anniversary of Arameri Kalancheri Mutt, Virajpet released on 9th May 2015. Kodagu King Sri Siri Bai Doddaveera Raja’s (A. D. 1681-1738) sister Nellammaji was married to a youth of Beppu Naadu. She became a widow at young age. She adopted spiritual life and to initiate through a teacher a mutt was built in 1690 at Arameri. The mutt follows the principles of Jagajyothi Basavanna. Sri Shanthamalla Swamiji opened the mutt to common people and also added an education institution in 1946. He made this “Arameri Kalamcheri mutta” as his abode of work. On the occasion of tercentennial celebrations of Arameri Kalancheri Mutt and birth centenary celebrations of late Sri Shantamallaswami a Special Cover was released at Virajpet on 9th May 2015. (Special Cover approval no. KTK/42/2015). On this occasion Sri Lingarajendra Prasad Nilaya was also inaugurated. This hostel can accommodate 300 students. The Special cover depicts the image of the Sri Lingarajendra Prasad Nilaya and photo of Shantamalla swami with the image of the mutt in the backdrop. Alok Kr Dasgupta List of radio stations www.dxasia.in : List of radio stations with their language and frequencies broadcasting to and for South Asia. Most of the schedule information has been updated for A15 (or summer period) season started on 29th March 2015 and will run through till 24 October 2015. Any new changes or corrections are very much welcome at the usual DXAsia address. XAsia was "invented" over a meal in a Dutch restaurant, which seems a rather unlikely place to discuss a Web site focusing on radio in South Asia. But some of the best ideas are conceived in strange places. The idea behind the site couldn't be simpler: to create a place on the Web where the latest schedules, news and information about radio broadcasts from and to South Asia can always be found. The aim is not to be exclusive or first with the news, but to be accurate. We believe we can achieve that with the help and support from Andy Sennitt, our advisor and the main editors, Alok Dasgupta and Victor Goonetilleke, who live in the region. DXasia is now fully automated, thanks to the hard work of Abhishek Dasgupta. DXAsia is updated from a central database using scripts hosted on the server. It is hosted in the UK on servers in London's Docklands. Recently we have made major improvements to the site. The site is now fully database-driven, and the editors are able to update the schedules remotely.You, the user, will be able to see the South Asian schedules by station andlanguage. A recent addition to the Home Page is the option to display all the transmissions currently on the air, including all the frequencies, in UTC time with one click of the mouse. We have also added transmitter sites for each frequency, which will be a big help to DXers. A new search facility has been added using Structured Query Language (SQL) which permits the user to perform complex queries and see the results from all the data on the site. This facility is still being developed and improved, and your feedback is welcome. Our contact details are at the top of every page.

It is aimed at spreading information about the Belarus-Chinese cooperation in the international media space and promoting Radio Belarus' broadcasts in the Chinese language, BelTA learned from the press service of the Belarusian state TV and radio company. “It is important to tell the Chinese people about our country, about the bilateral cooperation and the joint projects. When we learn more about each other, we understand each other better. Our programs are also designed for those Chinese citizens who live, study and work in Belarus,” Chief Director of Radio Belarus Naum Galperovich noted. In his words, the club of friends for Chinese broadcast should become a kind of coordination center uniting all the Belarus-China organizations that operate in Belarus. The management board of the club will include employees of Radio Belarus and the Chinese Embassy in the Republic of Belarus, representatives of the Belarus-China Friendship Society, the Confucius Institutes, and the Chinese communities and student associations in Belarus. Radio Belarus started broadcasting internationally in 1962. It offers programs in eight languages. The Chinese section is the youngest and the most promising one. The program Your Friend Belarus has been aired twice a week since 2013. The project features news bulletins and a section on culture and education about renowned Belarusian people, sites, and cultural traditions. The program pays special attention to the Belarus-China cooperation and the life of Chinese students and specialists in Belarus.

INFO WARS --- SANCTIONS-STRAPPED RUSSIA OUTGUNS THE U.S. IN INFORMATION WAR --- Apr 2, 2015 4:05 AM GMT http://www.bloomberg.com/politics/articles/2015-04-02/sanctions-strapped-russia-outguns-the-u-s-in-information-war MOSCOW DROWNS OUT VOICE OF AMERICA, AND FACTS ARE A CASUALTY. Nicole Gaouette The troubled U.S. agency responsible for delivering news around the world is being outgunned in Eastern Europe by Russian outlets unrestrained by notions of fact-based journalism. The unequal competition raises fears among U.S. officials that Moscow is winning the information war about events in Ukraine, even as the Russian economy staggers under economic sanctions imposed after the takeover of Crimea. “Russia has engaged in a rather remarkable period of the most overt and extensive propaganda exercise that I’ve seen since the very height of the Cold War,” Secretary of State John Kerry told a Senate subcommittee in late February. It’s “spending hugely on this vast propaganda machine,” he told another panel the same day, and it’s succeeding “because there’s nothing countering it.” “You have your truth, I have mine, there is no truth.” Stephen Blank Not literally nothing. Up against Russia 24, Rossiya 1, Russia K, First Channel, Sputnik and other around-the-clock operations, are new U.S.-sponsored Russian-language offerings including, “Current Time,” a newscast of just 30 minutes beamed into Eastern Europe on weekdays. The Voice of America show, co-hosted from Washington by Natasha Mozgovaya, is part of $23.2 million in programming aimed at Russian speakers. That comparatively small sum is up 49 percent from last year, according to Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland. Russia Spending How much Russia spends on its information programs is difficult to pin down, but in the face of sanctions forcing cuts elsewhere, President Vladimir Putin pledged to increase budgets for state-run outlets and cultural outreach. He said outlays for Rossotrudnichestvo, an organization devoted to spreading knowledge of Russia and its values abroad will rise from $60 million to $300 million by 2020. The differences in approach between what Kerry describes as Russian propaganda and U.S.-supported outlets were on display last month, on the first anniversary of the Crimean annexation. State-owned RT quoted Putin recalling that Crimeans had voted to return to the Motherland in the face of Ukrainian nationalism. The headline: “Coming Home.” VOA reported details RT omitted from the same interview: Putin’s acknowledgment that Moscow had planned the annexation and sent in troops weeks before the referendum. That headline: “Putin’s Latest Crimea Spin Attempts New Narrative.” 14 Fact-Checking Given the David-and-Goliath challenge “Current Time” faces, preparation and fact-checking are among the program’s best assets, says Mozgovaya, 35, a Russian-born, Israeli-raised former war correspondent. “We need to double and triple-check everything because the only thing basically that we have here is credibility,” she said. “It’s a very big responsibility because broadcasting one fake from our side will cost us the reputation.” Budgeted at about $2 million a year, the program airs in Ukraine, Georgia, Moldova, Lithuania and Latvia. It’s available free to networks and on Google Inc.’s YouTube. The Broadcasting Board of Governors, the parent agency of VOA and other government-backed outlets, doesn’t know yet how many people watch “Current Time,” which began in October, but social media feedback shows it’s striking a chord, said Arkady Cherepansky, assistant managing editor of VOA’s Russian Service. Beyond the Russian-speaking region, RT, with an annual budget of at least $241 million, sends Moscow’s version of events to the world in English, French, German, Spanish and Arabic. Editorial Stance The network is seen by more than 600 million people worldwide, said Peter Pomerantsev, who described Russia’s “weaponization of information” in his book, “Nothing is True and Everything is Possible.” U.S. and European officials and analysts say one of its aims is to undermine Western unity over economic sanctions. Lithuanian Foreign Minister Linas Linkevicius has called RT “no less destructive than military marching in Crimea.” Its editorial stance is that there is no objective truth, said Pomerantsev. The point isn’t persuasion, says Stephen Blank, a senior fellow at the American Foreign Policy Council in Washington, but to muddy the waters. “You have your truth, I have mine, there is no truth.” The network’s slogan is “Question More.” That editorial approach means RT gives air time to people who blame the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency for the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks and entertains multiple theories about who shot Malaysian Airline System Bhd.’s Flight 17 out of the skies over eastern Ukraine. ‘Broken’ Agency RT is amplified by social media disguised to look like ordinary people’s accounts, said Angela Stent, director of Russian studies at Georgetown University in Washington. Its social media use is “very sophisticated,” she said, and includes “people who troll and immediately bite back” at critics. Requests for comment from the Russian Embassy and RT weren’t answered. Facing off against the Russian juggernaut is a U.S. agency that lawmakers have called “broken” and “dysfunctional.” Last year, the State Department’s inspector general found that the BBG, with a budget of more than $720 million for its worldwide activities, had wasted almost $5 million on unapproved purchases, couldn’t properly record budget transactions, had inadequate IT security, and wasn’t able to keep track of physical property. In another blow, Andrew Lack, the former chairman of the Bloomberg Media Group who was sworn in as the BBG’s chief executive officer and director on Jan. 20, left just six weeks later to run NBC News. Spending Increase Still, the U.S. is boosting the BBG’s budget, saying that the Russian narrative in Eastern Europe must be countered. Baltic states are so “flooded with propaganda,” Kerry told lawmakers, that people there aren’t aware Russian soldiers have crossed the border into Ukraine or died there. Many think “we’re the problem,” Kerry said. For fiscal year 2016, the Obama administration is requesting $38.6 million for Russian-language programming, a 66 percent increase, plus more than $20 million to train Russian-speaking journalists, support independent media and other programs. Much of the effort to counter Russia’s narrative unfolds in a ground floor studio at VOA headquarters on Washington’s National Mall. In a darkened control room nearby, a producer scans dozens of wall-mounted screens as his team prepares to tape “Current Time.” Russian Speakers The name, a pun in Russian, carries the connotation of “the real deal.” Some screens feature the show’s Uzbek co-anchor preparing in Prague, others have camera angles at the United Nations. Several screens show Mozgovaya, blond head lowered over a laptop as she prepares for the show. The BBG has hired more part-time correspondents who speak Ukrainian, Tatar and Russian. It set up news websites such as “Donbass Realities” focused on places under siege. There are plans for a central Asian version of the show and another focused on the Caucasus and for new mobile platforms, said Jeffrey Trimble, deputy director of the BBG’s International Broadcasting Bureau. A 24-hour global Russian-language TV station, perhaps with European partners, is a longer-term possibility. Information War The target audience -- Russian speakers inside and outside the country -- is 260 million people worldwide. Stent, of Georgetown University, said Western democracy is one complicating factor in trying to reach them. “The problem is in the West we don’t have one message and we’re up against a very coordinated information war,” Stent said. Cameron Johnston, an analyst at the European Union Institute for Security Studies in Paris, said the Kremlin’s media strategy “rests on three key propositions: there is no such thing as objectivity; journalists are not critics but servants of the state and, in wartime, they are ’soldiers of the ideological front.’” Reaching those inside Russia, where Putin has steadily tightened controls on media, is increasingly difficult. In 2005, VOA was carried on almost 100 Russian outlets. Now it’s on just one, and that may be eliminated by proposed Russian legislation that would ban “undesirable foreign organizations.” Alexander Tarnavsky, a supporter of the measure, said in the lower house of Russia’s parliament on Jan. 20 that he hopes the law will “put the brakes on some of the foreign companies that joined the fight against Russia.” At the “Current Time” studios, staffers like Cherepansky say Russia’s closed media market gives their job added urgency, particularly in spreading U.S. views on events. “Unless we go out, talk about it, it’s as if it never happened,” he said (via Larry Zamora, TX, DXLD) ** TAJIKISTAN. 14295 harmonic, Tajik Radio.

TURKMEN GOVERNMENT CAMPAIGN TARGETS RFE/RL Bruce Pannier, RFE/RL Qishloq Ovozi blog, April 21, 2015 http://www.rferl.org/content/qishloq-ovozi-turkmenistan-satellite-campaign/26969998.html "The government of Turkmenistan has taken a decision to liquidate all privately owned TV and radio satellite dishes in the country" and "the main target of this campaign is Radio Azatlyk, the Turkmen-language service of Radio Liberty/Free Europe." That's according to the Civic Solidarity Platform, an umbrela organization bringing together nearly 60 nongovernmental organizations from the United States and Eurasia. Azatlyk knows about the campaign to demolish satellite dishes. It's not the first time the Turkmen authorities have attempted to rid the country of satellite dishes, but this time the efforts seem more serious. The Turkmen government has always preferred to have a monopoly on the dissemination of information inside Turkmenistan. Access to satellite dishes, which in some cases cost only some $100, has broken the grip Turkmen authorities have tried to keep on information, allowing citizens to watch or listen to programming from many sources, including Azatlyk. But according to Civic Solidarity, this most recent decision by the authorities to rid the country of satellite dishes "is aimed at fully blocking access of the population of Turkmenistan to hundreds of independent international media outlets which are currently accessible in the country only though satellite dishes." In naming Azatlyk as the main target of the campaign, Civic Solidarity called the RFE/RL service "the only independent source of information about Turkmenistan and the world in the Turkmen language and is widely listened to in the country." Azatlyk has regularly reported on a wide variety of subjects affecting Turkmenistan today, from housing problems and long lines to purchase train tickets, to the problems of people being detained and imprisoned for demanding their basic rights be respected, or the deteriorating security situation along the country's southern border with Afghanistan. What these topics all have in common is that Turkmen state media will not report on them and the authorities would prefer these matters not be publicized. Civic Solidarity noted Azatlyk's broadcasts are "currently accessible to the Turkmen public through satellite dishes while other channels of information about Turkmenistan, including websites of human rights and dissident organizations as well as the website of Radio Azatlyk are blocked in Turkmenistan." Azatlyk is aware of the campaign and has learned the Turkmen government is offering options to satellite-dish owners. The government will compensate the loss of satellite dishes with "cable TV packages" that would provide "entertainment channels produced by Russia, Turkey, and India," none of which include news programs. The authorities have already said they reserve the right to cut off broadcasting at any time. Another option for those losing their satellite dishes is to agree to have government-installed satellite dishes on their buildings, but that would leave subscribers with only state-approved channels. It appears in some cases Azatlyk would still be accessible on some antennas but on others Azatlyk programing would not be available. As has been true during previous campaigns to rid the country of satellite dishes, the official reason given is that the dishes are ugly blemishes on the grand architecture of Turkmenistan's cities.

Due to the excellent support provided by the local staff, the installation of the voltage regulator was finished on February 08, 2011. {Sept 2011y} At the end of the month, station staff departed Lampertheim for a two - week maintenance trip to Tajikistan/Orzu site. The goal of this trip was to maintain and service both the medium wave and shortwave transmitters at Orzu. {June 2012} In Orzu Tajikistan, the Continental SW transmitter {? DB- 13} went out of service after a heavy power fluctuation, damaged the tuning capacitor. To make the installation possible, IBB Germany provided technical drawings to fabricate an adapter for the installation of this capacitor. The reassembling of the PA stage was finished shortly before engineers from Germany arrived on site. The engineers inspected the transmitter and performed a complete initial setup. The transmitter is now back in service. A representative from Teleradiocom, General Director ..., and the IBB representative Transmitting Station Manager ... signed an agreement that will cut the cost of the IBB operations in Tajikistan. While in Germany, ... also visited the Germany Transmitting Station and was briefed on station operations and the IBB mission. As a result of this agreement, the preparatory work for the installation of a second Continental SW transmitter in Tajikistan was started. {May 2013} In Tajikistan, three members of the Lampertheim staff spent two weeks working with Teleradiocom staff on the installation of the second Continental SW transmitter.

With IS, 0130 sign-on still mentioning 9850. The `het` I think is still JBA on the new frequency. I had been prompting R. Tirana to shift up 5 due to previous assumption that the QRM was coming from another station, China on 9850, instead of from the same station. It took this long to change, shortly after I explained that it would not make any difference to do so. However, 9855 is no worse than 9850, so might as well stay there now (unless this was just an overlooked QSY from 9855 as used earlier for Albanian at 2324).

Cairo is very strong and splattering upon weaker 9975 KVOH, especially during music, which to my astonishment sounds like an Arabic variation on ``Old McDonald Had a Farm`` complete with barnyard SFX; then into something a bit more Egyptian. Signal has some distortion, not undermodulated, and the usual whine in the background (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** OKLAHOMA. 1210, May 10 at 0120 UT, ``Today`s Country, 1210, KGYN`` and plug their Facebook, /kgynguymon --- that doesn`t work, but there`s something at /kgyn1210 while the top hit on google, /KGYN-AM-Guymon is still there since last used in 2011. Robert Wien`s Broadcasting Information in the May 9 IRCA DX Monitor includes: ``1210 KGYN Guymon, OK was Cumulus Today’s Best Country, now Westwood One Mainstream Country`` Same flip applies to many other C&W stations (in OK, 1260 KWSH Wewoka), but ``Today`s Country`` slogan I just heard contradicts that, altho ``Best`` was omitted. So does the WW1 format axually ID on air as ``Mainstream Country``, or what? And is KGYN`s admittedly no longer the Best? Still unclear whether this mean KGYN`s own longtime slogan is no longer ``US Country`` which I am still not hearing, but is still on its website. My impression was ``US Country`` was specific to KGYN even if most of the programming was coming from some network bird or another (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** OMAN. 9500, May 10 at 0141, fair signal but very undermodulated, seems Arabic, as if RSO is on proper frequency tonite (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** PERU. 5980, May 10 at 0055, JBA carrier from R.

It`s not until 0137 that I find it on 9830 instead, and that is stronger than 9870, no RTTY either at this hour. They forgot(?) to change 9830 frequency on the transmitter with English to North America at 2200-2250! Not the first time such a failure has been propagated. Meanwhile, at 0136 they were outroing `La Pregunta del Mes`, with same ditty as in English service, and into music fill probably for rest of hour.

Later, Peter W Hansen reported to the DXLD yg: ``Grand Prix of Indianapolis was on WHRI 9495 from 1900 till past 2100 UT. So in 2 weeks The Indy 500 will probably be on WHRI as it has in the past`` Latest HFCC of May 6 shows 9495 is a registered HRI frequency but only as follows: 1900-2000 Sat, and 2100-2130 daily in SpaEng; the first one a 100 kW, the second a 250 kW, both on a 173 degree antenna --- but they were running it anyway during the break (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also USA: 1480 log ** U S A. 9975, May 10 at 0059, no signal from KVOH, but at 0132 recheck it`s on with the sacred soccer show, undermodulated interview with 20 Frenchy (?) about how playing such a game is divinely inspired.

How can he be so sure? Also gather that this is a NASCAR event, but Spongebob Squarepants lends his aura to it?! Announcer sounds like he is serious, doesn`t audibly smirk.

Who cares? Anyhow, assume this 1480 is KQAM Wichita, a.k.a. Big Talker rather than a solely sportsful station. It so happens there is also a 1480 near the Speedway, KCZZ Mission KS, but can hardly be that if it`s still 24 hour Spanish religion as Radio Luz. Its Steckline webpage makes it seem as if KQAM is a subset of KGYN Guymon (see OKLAHOMA) instead of viceversa http://kgynradio.com/kqam Nothing there but a rather generic, unspecific program schedule (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) José Maranhão Nova publicação em Regional DX A radiodifusão francesa no Pacífico Sul: Nova Caledônia – 3 - by Ivan - Adrian M. Peterson Neste artigo será dada ênfase à história radiofônica na Nova Caledônia a partir de 1940, quando a emissora amadora FK8AA começou a dar lugar a estação governamental Radio Pacifique. A ilha principal da Nova Caledônia e comprida e estreita, possui relevo montanhoso e uma população de 250 mil habitantes. Para cobrir sua área, a Radio Pacifique/Radio Noumea passou a utilizar um transmissor com 100 watt nas mesmas instalações da estação utilitária FJP. Suas transmissões em 6122 kHz foram captadas pela primeira vez no leste da Austrália em Abril de 1940 com bom sinal. Na mesma época um transmissor de ondas médias foi captado com o indicativo FJP em Sydney, Austrália, na frequência de 558 kHz (e posteriormente em 560 kHz) com retransmissão do serviço em ondas curtas. O equipamento tinha prováveis 300 watts e passou a ser usado a partir de Julho de 1941, mas deixou de ir ao ar em Maio do ano seguinte devido à situação do período de guerra. Durante a Guerra no Pacífico, a Radio Pacifique continuou a irradiar conteúdos locais em Francês, embora fossem ao ar ocasionalmente programas em Inglês. Em determinadas ocasiões ela também levou ao ar uma programação especial sob o nome "All Services Radio", destinado aos militares na ativa no Pacífico Sul. O sinal da Radio Pacifique/Radio Noumea ia ao ar na faixa de 49 metros, e ocupou seis frequências diferentes, com captações na Austrália, Nova Zelândia e Estados Unidos. No final da guerra a Radio Pacifique passou a usar dois transmissores; um de ondas médias com 300 watts em 700 kHz e outro em ondas curtas com 500 watts em 6000 kHz. A Radio Pacifique era identificada incorretamente com frequências em revistas de rádio sob o indicativo amadorístico FK8AA. Quando a Radio Pacifique consolidou sua presença no ar, o serviço da FK8AA deixou de existir e permaneceu apenas com status radioamadorístico. Em 1953, dois novos transmissores foram instalados para a Radio Noumea. O primeiro, de fabricação francesa, tinha 1 kW para a frequência de 6035 kHz. O segundo, com 500 W foi usado anteriormente na frequência de 1500 kHz, sendo reativado nos 3375 kHz em Agosto de 1953. Tais unidades foram instaladas no mesmo centro transmissor localizado no subúrbio de Noumea. Durante a década de 1960 a Radio Noumea preparou programas para transmissão em ondas curtas dirigidos às Novas Hébridas em Francês e a Wallis & Futuna em Francês e Walisiano. Essas transmissões funcionaram como um Serviço Externo por cerca de dez anos. Em 1968 começaram os trabalhos de construção de uma nova estação de rádio e TV na Nova Caledônia. O local em que foi construído o estúdio era a Rue Guynemer, no subúrbio de Noumea, e o transmissor na ilha St. Marie. Em 1970 a Radio Noumea foi captada na frequência de 1420 kHz. O transmissor com 4 kW levou ao ar temporariamente o serviço nacional voltado à capital durante a instalação da estação de 666 kHz. Um mapa local da área da capital e regiões costeiras próximas mostra três ilhas com o nome St. Marie. Uma busca no Google Earth facilmente as revela, sendo que provavelmente duas delas receberam estações transmissoras. A ilha N’gea é a maior do arquipélago St Marie, e no centro dela há um prédio branco que parece ter abrigado os três transmissores de ondas curtas de 20 kW. Curiosamente a baía no leste da ilha é conhecida como "Baía da antena". O serviço em ondas curtas foi encerrado em 1994 para dar lugar ao FM. Ao sul de N’gea fica a menor ilha do arquipélago St. Marie, Uere, onde podem ser vistos claramente no Google Earth o prédio do transmissor e a antena de ondas médias. A torre aparece como uma sombra estreita com uma estrutura circular na base. Esse centro transmissor foi inaugurado por volta de 1986. Não há sinais de geração de energia elétrica nessas duas ilhas desertas, então é provável que um cabo submarino proveniente de Noumea suprisse tal necessidade. Durante as décadas de 1980 e 1990 uma extensa rede de estações FM foi construída e em 1994 a Radio Noumea deixou de transmitir em ondas curtas em favor de tal rede. Entretanto, o transmissor de ondas médias que opera em 666 kHz segue no ar e é captado em vários locais do vasto Pacífico Sul. Em meados da década de 1980 a Radio Noumea foi captada em outro canal de ondas médias, 1260 kHz. O transmissor desse serviço temporário provavelmente foi a mesma unidade de 4 kW usada anteriormente em Noumea em 1420 kHz. Ele foi instalado em Mt Aoupinie, quase no centro da ilha de Nova Caledônia. Retransmitia o conteúdo da faixa de FM enquanto um equipamento 21 para esta faixa era instalado na mesma localidade para funcionar como retransmissor intermediário. Na segunda semana de Setembro de 2005, Dexistas dos Estados Unidos e Austrália captaram uma nova emissora de ondas médias a partir da Nova Caledônia, operando em 729 kHz com 5 kW a partir de Toupo, na costa leste da ilha. Na atualidade a Radio Noumea vai ao ar por meio de uma extensa rede de estações em FM assim como os transmissores de ondas médias em Noumea em 666 kHz com 20 kW e Touho em 729 kHz com 5 kW. Os transmissores de ondas curtas foram desmontados há 21 anos. Curiosamente, em 1984 a Radio France Internationale considerou seriamente a construção de uma grande estação retransmissora na Nova Caledônia. Na época foram feitos estudos de viabilidade de construção de tal centro transmissor ou retransmissão por meio da estação de ondas curtas da Sri Lanka Broadcasting Corporation em Ekala. Ao final, nenhuma das opções foi levada adiante. Artigo traduzido mediante autorização do autor. A publicação em qualquer outro meio é expressamente proibida.

Yessua Ceballos Consulta Amigos Diexistas colegas, quisiera preguntaros lo siguiente. La antena MOXON tiene mejor rendimiento que una YAGI de 3 elementos? esta pregunta se debe a que e buscado muchos articulos en la wed y segun es lo que se entiende, pero prefiero saberlo ya de alguien que haya experimentado con dichas antenas. Tengo pensado hacerme una con tubos de cobre de 1/2" para CB ya que tengo muchos colegas en Sur America. Doy gracias de antemano por sus respuestas y grandes aportes! Rob Wagner An old documentary film from 1944 An old documentary film from 1944 has been beautifully restored by Jeff Quitney. It describes the role, manufacture and deployment of the huge Hallicrafters SCR299 shortwave receiver and transmitter, for use during the final stages of World War 2. This is truly a fascinating video and well worth spending a half hour viewing. SHORTWAVE RADIO IN WORLD WAR 2: "VOICE OF VICTORY" 1944 - HALLICRAFTERS Regular readers of the Mount Evelyn DX Report will remember that some months ago I posted about stumbling across a Hallicrafters transceiver in a lighthouse museum while travelling along the New South Wales coastline late last year. Today, some more stumbling!! This time while cruising around YouTube, I found an old documentary film from 1944 has been beautifully restored by Jeff Quitney. It describes the role, manufacture and deployment of the huge Hallicrafters SCR299 shortwave receiver and transmitter, for use during the final stages of World War 2. This is truly a fascinating video and well worth spending a half hour viewing. Here is what Jeff has written about this marvellous old piece of cutting edge technology of the day: Tells the story of how Hallicrafters developed the WWII SCR299 military shortwave radio from the pre-war HT-4 amateur ham radio transmitter. "How radio equipment helped to win World War II." Reupload of a previously uploaded film, in one piece instead of multiple parts. Public domain film from the Library of Congress Prelinger Archive, slightly cropped to remove uneven edges, with the aspect ratio corrected, and mild video noise reduction applied. The soundtrack was also processed with volume normalization, noise reduction, clipping reduction, and equalization (the resulting sound, though not perfect, is far less noisy than the original). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SCR-299 The SCR-299 was a U.S. Signal Corps mobile military communications unit used during World War II. The SCR-299 replaced SCR-197 and SCR-597, and was an effort to give a long-range communication advantage to the U.S. Army and its allies. To meet these demands, a high-powered radio transmitter was required — capable of infallible voice communications over 100 miles (160 km); selfpowered; sturdy enough to work in all conditions, flexible enough to cover a wide range of frequencies; and able to operate in motion or at fixed locations. Production began in early spring 1942. Out of the various sets sent from U.S. vendors, and after considerable experimentation, Hallicrafters Standard 22 HT-4 transmitter was chosen as the desired radio's basis. The HT-4 transmitter's new version became known as the BC-610 transmitter. The receivers finally supplied were the BC-312 and BC-342, plus the BC-614 (speech amplifier), BC-729 (tuning unit) and BC-211 (frequency meter), along with the PE-95 (power unit). All these became part of the truck-and- trailer unit called the SCR-299 — later better known as the "mobile communications unit." SCR-299 was updated to version SCR-399, similar to the SCR-299 except it was installed in an HO-17 shelter designed to be mountable in vehicles such as 21⁄2-ton trucks and accompanied by the power unit carried in a K-52 trailer. An air transportable version, the SCR-499 was developed and became standard for the USAAF. Hallicrafters Company advertising of the period sometimes used illustrations of the shelter-mounted SCR-399 to describe the achievements of the SCR-299. On November 8, 1942, amphibious landings of British and American forces for Operation TORCH presented the Signal Corps and the SCR-299 with its first major test of the war. Companies of the 829th Signal Service Battalion assigned to each task force attempted to set up the administrative communications net with SCR-299 truck and trailer radio sets immediately upon landing. The plan was to connect the widely separated landing areas and to communicate with Gibraltar. Unfortunately, the weighty sets had been stowed deep in the holds of the convoy ships and only one could be unloaded in time for use during the initial assault. Luckily, British communications ships filled the gap until the SCR-299's could be landed. Once onshore, the sets provided the chief means of long-distance signals until permanent Army Command and Administrative Network stations could be installed. General Dwight Eisenhower credited the SCR-299 in his successful reorganization of the American forces and final defeat of the Nazis at Kasserine Pass. Though the original Signal Corps requirements were for communication points up to 100 miles (160 km), under favorable conditions these transmitters made and maintained contact over 2,300 miles (3,700 km) of land and sea... The SCR-299/399 received fairly heavy use by war correspondents and members of the press corps... The SCR-299 was a complete mobile HF station on frequencies from 2 to 8 MHz (and 1--18 MHz using conversion kits) with transmitter output of 350 watts. The entire unit came in a K-51 truck except Power Unit PE-95 which was in a K-52 trailer. Power could either be supplied by the Power Unit and a 12 volt storage battery, or 115 volt 60 cycle AC commercial power and two spare 6 volt storage batteries. The power requirement was 2000 watts, plus 1500 watts for heater and lights. The system could be remotely controlled up to a distance of one mile (1.6 km) using two EE-8 field telephones and W-110-B Wire kit. Remote equipment was provided for remotely keying or voice modulating the transmitter, remotely listening to the receiver, and for communicating with the operator of the station. Frequency Conversion Kit MC-503 gave coverage down to 1 MHz. Frequency Conversion Kit MC-516 gave coverage to 12 MHz and Frequency Conversion Kit MC-517 gave coverage to 18 MHz. The receiver used a 9-foot (2.7 m) whip antenna and the transmitter used a 15-foot (4.6 m) whip antenna while moving. Alternately, it could use a 21 ft (6.4 m) whip antenna while stationary or a 45 ft (14 m) auxiliary wire antenna for 2.0 to 4.5 MHz coverage... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zns8D6ZkBFM Finally, I encourage you to check out and support Jeff Quitney's wonderful YouTube channel for more beautifully restored old movies and documentaries from the past. 73 and have a great weekend everyone! - Rob V3BVW Glenn Hauser Logs May 7-8-9, 2015 ** ALBANIA. 9850-, May 9 at 0125, R. Tirana IS, fair-good signal and usual low audible het detectable during pauses. The het is quite constant and persistent, and since Wolfgang Büschel says Qinghai, China listed on 9850 is not propagating to Europe, but that he does detect the ``het`` as a defect out of the Shijak transmitter itself, I no longer call for RT to move to 9855 as that would obviously make no difference! Wolfy said: ``No QRM of China Qinghai co-channel 9850 kHz here in Europe. All the path from eastern China via sunny Siberia reflection zone towards western Europe is in sunny daytime.

Regards Wolfy df5sx`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** BRAZIL. 9725-, May 7 at 0107, prayer in Brazuguese from RB2, best on LSB to avoid splash from 9730 Romania (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) Date correct; overlooked in previous report ** CHINA. CNR1 jammers morning of May 9: 17170, May 9 at 1253, CNR1 jammer, poor (while CRI is inbooming on 17490, 17560, 17630, 17650, EAST TURKISTAN sites, q.v.) 19000, May 9 at 1258, CNR1 jammer, upon the Sat & Wed 12-13 jumparound frequency of RFA Tibetan via Kuwait 16775, May 9 at 1256, CNR1 jammer, very poor. New one on me, but in Aoki as one of a multitude of 0.1 kW SOH spoiler channels from Taiwan, and once reported from NZ at another hour in DXLD 15-06 16100, May 9 at 1257, CNR1 jammer, good 15250, May 9 at 1258, CNR1 jammers echo, and CCI, fair 15265, May 9 at 1258, CNR1 jammer, usual het with off-frequency Taiwan 14920, May 9 at 1259, CNR1 jammer, very good 14870, May 9 at 1259, CNR1 jammer, very good 13980, May 9 at 1259, CNR1 jammer, fair, timesignal and off 1300*. I started too late before this hourtop to find any more lower (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA. 13740, May 9 at 1328, RHC with canned multi-lingual IDs. Listen more carefully than I did to the whole thing once it appear again without notice: if there are two incomprehensible native languages, one must be long-defunct Guaraní from RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) 23 ** EAST TURKISTAN. 17615, May 9 at 0457, open carrier fair with flutter, 0500 IS and CRI signing on in German only --- most transmissions start with an ID in Chinese, but not this one, of two hours. 17615 via Urumqi, while weaker // 17720 is via Kashgar. MUF now holding up over night path but not so dark as in winter (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** EGYPT. First item in my previous log omitted the date and time: 11935+, May 7 at 0104, R. Cairo open carrier/dead air to possibly just barely modulated, and with a low audible heterodyne, perhaps RB2, Brasil. (Ivo Ivanov says Tibet has also moved from 9580 to 11935 starting at 0200). 11935, May 9 at 0059, R. Cairo, suptorted Spanish, good level but weaker than // 12070 as always suptorted. // 9315 is usually less distorted, but considerably suptorted this time. 13850, May 9 at 0455, R. Cairo good signal but suptorted Arabic (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** GREECE. 9420, May 9 at 0105, ERT is on with Greek talk and rock music, good signal and // poor 15650. As I mention on WORLD OF RADIO 1772, this story says, ``The Lost Signal of Democracy`` (awarded at PriMed Festival, France) http://www.smallplanet.gr/en/documentaries/chronologically/2013-2014/337-the-lost-signal-of-democracy ``Within five hours, on the evening of June 11, 2013, the Greek Prime Minister Antonis Samaras turned off the switches of the national public broadcaster ERT, thus violently and suddenly leaving all Greeks with a black screen. It was an unprecedented event in the democratic world, which shocked Greek citizens and caused a fierce international outrage. 23 months later, the newly-elected government led by Alexis Tsipras decides to re-open ERT and to re-employ all of its staff by "putting an end to injustice", as declared by government officials. The new ERT will start broadcasting on the 11th of May.`` The film promoted is all about television, but perhaps May 11 will also be a relaunch day for ERT radio, even shortwave? Zacharias Liangas forwards this in google translation: https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=el&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.periodista.gr%2Fmedias%2Fitem%2F17470.htm On May 11 opens the new ERT! "The government expedites the processes that affect the application of the law passed by the House last week" Kostas Poulakida, Monday, 04 May 2015 10:04 ``Aiming to May 11 to emit the new EPT and finished the period of the "black" and "gray" . . . the name "ERT" is the strong trump. Therefore, according to reports, the ERT will name everywhere. All three TV channels (ERT1, ERT2, ERT3) and satellite channel and four radio stations and dozens of regional radio stations (19 had when the ND and PASOK closed). According to reports, there will be independent broadcasting sector for expatriates with the television channel ERT World and radios Friendship and Voice of Greece`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** NIGERIA. 15120-, May 8 at 0528, VON is on, fair signal but distorted in presumed English, and carrier wobbling around slightly on the low side. Unlike yesterday, neither 9689.9 nor 7255 is on by 0600 in Hausa. Surprise2. On May 9, Ivo Ivanov reported 9689.9 was audible in Hausa at 0616 May 8, but it must have really been May 9 as on his YouTube caption; unchecked by me this date (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** OKLAHOMA. 1120, May 8 at 1711 UT, KEOR/KETU is off again, and still off at 2145 UT. Still off at 1544 UT May 9. Have we heard the last of ``La Picuda``? Anyway, I guess the license is secure for a while longer, whatever it is (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** OKLAHOMA. 1320-, May 8 at 1718 UT, KCLI Clinton OK is open carrier/dead air for at least a minute or two; next check 1817 UT after lunch, it`s in the fifth inning of a silly baseball game between Bethany and Clinton, ``Red Tornado Baseball on 1320 KCLI``. 1320-, May 9 at 1249 UT, ads for somethings in 817 AC = Fort Worth, and in Louisiana, but DF for Clinton, and definitely off-frequency to the low side, making low audible het with Fort Smith. The latter is not audible on daytime groundwave, so one would be unaware KCLI is imprecise (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** OKLAHOMA. 1640, May 9 at 0524 UT, KZLS Enid-Hennessey-OKC is open carrier/dead air, and still/again? so at next check 1241 UT with some hum. There had been more storms and power outages around OKC and other areas, even Enid, but not for me. I suppose the remote transmitter site when losing power or STL may require at least a human visit to reset. Suddenlink cable & internet vanished for me at 0020 UT and were out all evening, so I headed first for the monitoring studio at 0058-0135 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** OKLAHOMA. Re tornado weather relays of TV stations on radio, in previous report early UT May 7: 104.1, & 107.7 [not 102.7 as mistyped] with KWTV audio, not NWS when others are in it (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** OMAN. 9500 & 9740, May 9 at 0104, no signals from RSO, but a JBA carrier on 15140, so maybe that`s where it`s misplaced tonight (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** PERU. 5980, May 9 at 0059, JBA carrier from R. Chaski (presumably still relaying Red Radio Integridad in the evenings), until cutoff at 0110:50.5* which is 11.5 seconds later than two nights ago = 5.75 per on average (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** PUNTLAND. 13800, May 8 at 1300, JBA carrier detectable, so I guess R. Puntland Uno is back on today. 13800-CUSB, May 9 at 1327, much better signal at poor level with Qur`an, so definitely on today. Edward Kusalik tells me it was also coming in quite well in Alberta with Koran after 1300; Mick Delmage, further north in central Alberta, tells me it was best at 1405 to 1425 after the Qur`an period, via long path at 220 degrees (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 7570, May 9 at 0058 and still half an hour later, no signal from WRMI, instead of BS. Other WRMI frequencies are on as usual; see U S A. 7570 is back on at 0419 check, scheduled for System C = Brother Scare at 22-10 UT. 24 5110, May 9 at 0106, BS is very poor in noise, via WBCQ while much better 7490 is still in `Allan Weiner Worldwide`, so was 5110 not carrying him at all from 0000? By 0130, 7490 is in BS too. 5050, WWRB is off instead of BSing at 0107 May 9, but 3185 is on (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** SRI LANKA. 11905, May 9 at 0114-0116, no signal from SLBC, so no mistimesignal to log, but recheck 0120 now the carrier is on at very poor level, maybe also undermodulated (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** SUDAN [non]. 13800, May 8 at 0523, R. Dabanga is in the clear, no tone jamming audible, good signal and no CCI. At 0526 now there`s SAH and QRM from same audio but not synchronized; 0527 SAH is still on, i.e. both carriers, but first audio has been cut. 0527.5, first carrier off and second carrier + modulation resume normal operations. This is the very rough uncoördinated (and pointless, unnecessary?), transition from MADAGASCAR to VATICAN transmitter site amid the 0430-0600 otherwise continuous RD broadcast. This confirms my previous log, and presumably occurs every day for a minute or two. SMG operators need to pay attention to, even monitor what Madagascar is doing, or get their acts together by more precise timing. 13800, May 9 at 0454, R. Dabanga good signal via MADAGASCAR with no tone/het jamming audible; 11650 via VATICAN with tone jamming (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 13565 approx., May 9 at 0455, K6FRC, HIFER beacon JBA but enough to copy CW exactly, vs much stronger CODAR. He`s in Patterson CA using his licensed ham call for this, unusually. Frequency not measured this time but based on my previous logs. As for search engines, I tried yahoo first on site:www.w4uvh.net and got two hits from last September, while google search led to 8 DXLD issues starting last Sept thru this April. K6FRC is still missing from otherwise useful and seemingly current roster by LWCA [sic]; also missing from the ON4 list but that`s mainly about beacons on other bands of hams (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 17895, May 8 at 1742, during lunch at a restaurant seated next to an east-side window, G8 & whip provide excellent reception of VOA Greenville on 17895, during a rare English broadcast. Unfortunately, it`s ``The Sunni[?] Side of Sports``, expanded edition, I hope only on Fridays. Mostly about silly ballgames in Africa. Why are US taxpayers responsible for providing this info back to Africa? Later in the hour a bit about US SBGs. At 1742 a plug for `African News Tonite` at 16 and 18 on 6080 & 15580. Guess what? It`s also on 17895 starting really at 1805 after world newscast. A mere 250 kW broadcast direct from the USA is not worth mentioning; but who at VOA studios in Washington axually turns on a SW radio to hear what they are doing? ANT is allegedly an ``hour`` and if so, gets chopped off amid, as I heard 17895 closing the other day at 1830 and GB is so scheduled in HFCC at 1700-1830 only --- and in two separate entries at 1700-1830 daily to CIRAF 52, 53 and 57, and at 1730-1830 daily to additional CIRAF 46-48, even tho there are no changes whatsoever in parameters (site, power, azimuth, slew or antenna type). 46-48 means from Western Sahara to Kenya; 52 + 53 + 57 means all of Africa south of there, from Gabon to South Africa to Madagascar. BTW, we are out of luck this A-season for hearing `Music Time in Africa` Sat & Sun at 20 UT on a loud and clear Greenville frequency, as 15580 is currently via Botswana. We can still hear it not so loudly and no doubt better eastward in the Greenville skip zone anyway (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1772 monitoring: confirmed Friday May 7 at 2130.5 on WRMI 15770, sufficient, and barely audible in noise level // 7570.

Other WRMI services are still on: 5850 & 7455 & 9395 (TruNews [not], 0100 `Son Power Radio, Vero Beach`), 9955 (`Walking in Power`, another ubiquitous FL ministry, at 0100, starting with ``horns of doom`` I at first thought might be TOM), 11580 (`Wavescan` ending), 11920 (open carrier prior to more fill music instead of Fámily Radio as at 0130 check), 15190 BS. 7570 is scheduled from #11 transmitter, 315 degrees toward us at 22-10 UT for Overcomer, extended by 21-22 other programming, and 10-12 UT Fámily Stations in Chinese and Japanese --- I wonder if those two are really funxional, as FSI Spanish at 01-03 on 11920, 7730, has been replaced by fill music for at least a week (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 5985, May 9 at 0449, `Frecuencia al Día` with usual liners, as scheduled for Saturday at 0430 via WRMI System F, which means all the other programming in this block does refer to UT days (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 12105, May 9 at 0114, WTWW-3 with VG signal, but dead air except for some hum, and still so at 0132. I was hearing a bit of audio 25 bleeding from somewhere, but it turned out to be from my local 1390 KCRC overload instead of 9475 WTWW-1 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 1510-, May 9 at 0118 UT, ad/PSA string looping NE/SW and going into deep fades and peaks; including Husqvarna, Subway, Shelterpet.org, 0121 UT finally for Kansas youth athletix, so as expected it`s KCTE Independence MO, 10 kW daytimer, still off-frequency to the lo side compared by stepping to 1500 & 1520 carriers, and also a low audible heterodyne is JBA as not much signal from WLAC or anything else yet. BTW, 1520 KOKC is remarkably weak, maybe QRP due to more storms? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 95.1, May 9 at 0135 UT I am bandscanning to see if OKC stations are in weather warning mode, as TV stations are covering threats of tornados and flooding, mostly to the east of OKC, but normal FM programming persists. Here vying with KQCV in OK to capture 95.1 is ``T-95, The Rock Station``, i.e. KICT Wichita KS; in WTFDA FM Database merely as ``T-95`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) Williams Lopez Protesta de los trabajadores de Radio Yugoslavia Protesta de los trabajadores de Radio Yugoslavia – Radio Serbia Internacional, frente al Gobierno de Serbia http://voiceofserbia.org/es/content/protesta-de-los-trabajadores-de-radio-yugoslavia-–-radio-serbia-internacional-frente-al Los empleados de Radio Yugoslavia (Radio Serbia Internacional) mantendrán mañana una protesta frente al Gobierno de Serbia como reacción al anunciado cierre de esta casa mediática, que ha existido durante 79 años y que emite en 12 idiomas. Con la Estrategia de los medios de comunicación y la nueva Ley de Información Pública, el Estado dejará de ser propietario de los medios y de financiarlos directamente. Para Radio Yugoslavia, no se ha ofrecido ninguna posibilidad de transformación, racionalización o participación en el servicio público, a pesar de que se ha definido con la Ley el interés público de informar la opinión pública mundial sobre los acontecimientos en Serbia. Los empleados podrían, sin culpa alguna, encontrarse literalmente en la calle, ya que para esta forma de extinción de una empresa no se prevé ni siquiera la indemnización por despido. Durante la protesta se entregará una carta al primer ministro de Serbia, Aleksandar Vucic, en la que se llama la atención sobre los efectos negativos de la extinción de tales medios y sobre la difícil posición en la que se van a encontrar todos los empleados que se quedarán sin sus puestos de trabajo, y sin una compensación adecuada. "A pesar del hecho de que las nuevas leyes de medios de comunicación fueron aprobadas el año 2014, estamos seguros de que hay una manera de que sobreviva Radio Yugoslavia (Radio Serbia Internacional.) - la única estación radial de onda corta en Serbia, cuyas olas llegan a todos los continentes. Radio Serbia Internacional tiene menos de cien empleados, y antes de que se cierre, asegúrese si Alemania ha renunciado a la Radio Deutsche Welle, el Reino Unido a la BBC, America a la Voice of America, China a la Radio Internacional de China, Rusia a la Voz de Rusia. Tampoco han renunciado Croacia, Bulgaria, Rumania, Albania. Todas esas estaciones se financian del presupuesto del Estado como servicios mundiales. Piense y deje que al menos alguien hable con nosotros antes de tomar la decisión de cerrar el programa en 11 idiomas que ofrece oportunidades increíbles para la presentación de Serbia en el mundo. Francamente, estamos seguros de que no nos negará esa oportunidad", se destaca entre otras cosas en la carta de los empleados en Radio Yugoslavia (Radio Serbia Internacional) dirigida al primer ministro Vucic.

Desde el salón de su casa, en babuchas, armado con un portátil, un micro y una pequeña mesa de mezclas, Hassan Yemchu mantiene la antena durante tres horas, de nueve a doce de la mañana, de lunes a viernes. "Los inmigrantes subsaharianos aquí no tienen acceso a los medios de comunicación. No se pueden expresar. Por eso decidimos comenzar este proyecto", explica Hassan a eldiario.es. Esta web radio fundada por tres camerunenes empezó a emitir desde Rabat en 2012. Ahora sólo permanecen en el proyecto Hassan y su socio, Armel Djatche, que se encarga de alimentar la web y de la parte técnica. El tercero tuvo que dejarlo para ir a buscar un trabajo remunerado. El año pasado consiguieron un acuerdo con una asociación cultural marroquí que les cedía un estudio, pero sólo pudieron quedarse durante un mes. Hassan no puede apartar los ojos de la grabadora de la periodista. "Graba directamente con una tarjeta SD, ¿verdad?. Yo tengo que usar un dictáfono y luego convertirlo a MP3", comenta, de colega a colega. No tienen más financiación que la que aportan él y Armel, que trabaja como profesor de nuevas tecnologías en Casablanca. Radio Air Du Mboa se emite desde el piso de Hassan, en el barrio rabatí de Yacoub al Mansour. Es un pequeño apartamento de dos habitaciones donde vive con su mujer y su hija de cinco años. Tiene sus ventajas: "Es un estudio portátil" —se ríe—. "Lo voy moviendo por toda la casa, pero el matinal lo hago desde el salón", una estancia sencilla, ataviada con tres sofás marroquíes por aquí y un mueble y una televisión por allá y presidiéndolo todo, la fotografía de su hija Inez luciendo un vestido rosa. 26 Los días de Hassan comienzan a las cinco y media de la mañana. Se levanta, se va al salón, enciende el ordenador, abre el correo y descarga las grabaciones que le han enviado los corresponsales y colaboradores durante la noche. Mientras monta las crónicas y los audios que va a emitir, se las arregla para preparar a Inez para la escuela. Su mujer, marroquí, trabaja en un restaurante de comida rápida y a veces no puede hacerse cargo de la niña a esa hora. Hassan va con el tiempo justo para llevarla a clase antes de las nueve, por eso la emisión empieza unos días a las nueve en punto, otros a las nueve y cinco y otros a las nueve y doce. El viaje de Hassan Además de trabajar para su proyecto, del que no obtiene un solo dírham, Hassan trabaja como fotógrafo y cámara freelance para bodas y eventos. Unos meses hay más trabajo; otros meses, menos. Tiene 44 años y llegó hace diez a Marruecos con un historia muy similar a la de muchos de sus compatriotas. Trabajaba en una empresa de importación-exportación, pero los salarios en Camerún son muy bajos, así que decidió salir a buscarse la vida a otra parte. Nunca tuvo presión familiar, como ocurre muchas veces, para alcanzar el "sueño europeo". Pasó cuatro años malos en Libia, en una época, todavía con Gadafi en el poder, en la que los inmigrantes subsaharianos empleados como mano de obra en las compañías petrolíferas eran maltratados y encarcelados. Pasó por Argelia y tampoco le gustó y recaló en Marruecos. Aquí se casó, decidió establecerse y siguió formándose como cámara de televisión, una afición que se trajo de Camerún, cuando le llevaba el trípode a un primo que trabajaba en el oficio. "Mi primera cámara fue una JVC que me compré en Oujda por 220 euros", explica con una sonrisa de añoranza de sus primeros pinitos. "La tarjeta de residencia no sirve de nada sin trabajo" Es un hombre orquesta. Después del programa matinal, sale a grabar entrevistas con inmigrantes subsaharianos que le cuentan cómo les va la vida en Marruecos, cómo fue su viaje y por qué quieren llegar a Europa; sus problemas con las embajadas de sus países, lo difícil que está encontrar trabajo aquí y cómo se ha acogido el proceso de regularización de inmigrantes. Es pesimista respecto a esto último: "Una tarjeta de residencia no sirve de nada sin trabajo. El problema es que la Unión Europea ha dado dinero a Marruecos para ayudar a los inmigrantes, pero a ninguno nos han preguntado cómo debería emplearse ese dinero". La UE ha aprobado para Marruecos una ayuda de 10 millones de euros destinados a programas de formación, salud y educación de inmigrantes. Hassan cree que deberían invertirse en montar proyectos como el suyo. Sueña con emplear a más redactores y técnicos para ver crecer Radio Air Du Mboa. "Si tuviéramos medios, podríamos hacer muchísimas cosas". El pasado 6 de febrero, técnico y locutor pagaron de su bolsillo el desplazamiento a Tánger para cubrir el aniversario de las muertes del Tarajal. Se han dejado caer por la feria de agricultura de Meknés, celebrada en abril y han entrevistado al ministro marroquí de Agricultura, Aziz Akhannouch. También hacen vídeos y seleccionan noticias de interés e informaciones prácticas para la comunidad inmigrante. El programa es un magazine muy variado donde la información tiene un papel importante. Cada media hora se emiten las crónicas sobre la actualidad africana que han enviado los corresponsales: "Las negociaciones en Mali en peligro, por la vuelta de las hostilidades entre el ejército y los grupos armados en el norte del país". "El comportamiento del ejército de Burundi, en contradicción con la Constitución". "El Foro Nacional de reconciliación de Madagascar anuncia el fin del arresto domiciliario del ex presidente Ravalomanana". Los locutores son periodistas freelance de países como Guinea, Camerún, Costa de Marfil, Bruselas, Congo Brazaville. Tienen ocho que colaboran habitualmente, por amor al arte, para sostener el proyecto. Hassan pasa un buen rato saludando a los oyentes. "Un saludo para Saga, que nos escucha desde Salé". "Un abrazo para el presidente del Consejo de Migrantes". "Desde Guinea nos escucha Sara". Los oyentes pueden participar y enviar comentarios a través de la web. "No pueden llamar por teléfono, porque no la mayoría no puede gastarse el dinero en eso", explica Hassan. Por la antena desfilan también una especialista en medicina tradicional africana que habla de remedios naturales contra la disfunción eréctil y un pastor congoleño que vive en Yousofia que da media hora de misa. El mes que viene quieren organizar una mesa de debate con economistas "pero tenemos que encontrar un lugar, porque algunos invitados no se atreven a venir al barrio. Hay agresiones regularmente", se lamenta. Hassan se despide en antena: "Así termina la emisión interactiva de hoy. Podéis visitarnos en nuestra web y también enviarnos comentarios en Facebook y Twitter. Les espero mañana a las nueve".

Em 1947, na Colômbia um Sacerdote que havia sido nomeado vigário na cidade de Sutatenza, assistia 800 almas em sua paróquia. Mas, ele tinha algo que diferenciava dos demais. Gostava de rádio e era radioamador naquele país montanhoso. Refiro-me ao Padre Jose Salcedo, que enfrentava dificuldade em contactar com suas ovelhas. A coisa foi revolucionária, afinal montou uma pequena estação transmissora, pois o mesmo era habilidoso na instalação e expansão de rádios receptores. Com a tenacidade que lhe era própria, não era estático, e com verdadeiro dinamismo percebeu que a população local na década de 40 era iletrada. Foi a alavancada que daria grande crescimento ao seu ministério sacerdotal. Após a metade da segunda década desse projeto radiofônico eclesiástico, congregou muita gente pertencente a uma população dispersa pelas encostas dos Andes Colombianos, e a ação social tornou-se popular. Tamanha fora a repercussão que a programação diária captou discípulos na Venezuela e equador. Essa idéia inspiradora mobilizou a Arquidiocese em Fortaleza, e o Padre Arimatéia Diniz em 1954 deu os primeiros passos, e quando tudo se encaminhava para o concreto, em 1958 a direção da Igreja católica no Ceará desviou toda a atenção e, os recursos alocados foram destinados para o flagelo da grande seca. (Foi neste ano que o autor destas linhas veio ao mundo). Essa estação foi um presente de uma comunidade católica alemã, ao Dom Antonio de Almeida Lustosa, então Arcebispo de Fortaleza, pela passagem de seu jubileu de ouro no sacerdócio. O nome oficial da rádio é Radio Nossa Senhora da Assunção, porém devido à programação e, para facilitar as chamadas em vinhetas, tomou a forma contracta de Radio Assunção. Como emissora integrante da Rede Nacional de Educação de Base foi ao ar oficialmente aos 11 de fevereiro de 1962. O estúdio foi localizado na Rua Visconde Saboya nº. 280, tendo como Superintendente o Padre Landim e como Diretor Comercial o também Pe. José Mirton Lavor. A estação transmissora na Rua Joaquim Manuel Macêdo, no bairro Henrique Jorge que, na época era chamado de Casa Popular, e nas adjacências da antena de 90 metros, um matagal. O professor Everardo Silveira foi o locutor da iniciação. A Arquidiocese de Fortaleza agora contou com mais um aliado para a imprensa, haja vista ser proprietária do Jornal O Nordeste, cuja circulação fora erradicada em 1967, já na gestão de Dom José Delgado. A emissora de equipamento importado tinha antena direcional, cujo benefício técnico era o não desperdício de rádio - freqüência para o mar. trabalhando com ondas médias e tropicais (ondas intermediárias) isso permitia uma boa penetração no interior cearense e outros Estados do nordeste. Com o advento da revolução de 1964, as coisas não ficaram bem para a imprensa. José Milton firmou contrato com a Rádio dragão do mar e a Direção Comercial foi para as mãos de Geraldo Fontenele. A Rádio Assunção tomou um novo formato com o ingresso de Fontenele, que com apenas 30 anos de idade já tinha um currículo denotando experiência, já havendo sido produtor de programas, animador de auditórios, radioator, redator de noticias, narrador e Diretor de Broadcasting da Rádio Difusora de Teresina (PI) e com passagem pela Rádio Poti de Natal (RN). Sob pressão de forças revolucionárias, o Governo do estado cortou verbas de incentivos e, a Assunção tinha que se manter por ela mesma. Nesse período muitos empresários em outros Estados, perderam a concessão de suas emissoras que, são renovadas a cada dez anos. Foi graças à habilidade de Fontenele, que havia acumulado a direção de Jornalismo e Comercial que, a Assunção cearense em 1972 renovou concessão, tendo em vista não permitir ao microfone, a participação de padres expressarem suas idéias por serem comunistas. A emissora funcionava 24 horas, e há zero hora começava um programa chamado “Varig a dona da Noite”, com uma belíssima seleção musical indo até as 5 da matina. Com o clarear do dia vinha “Alvorada Cabocla”, com violeiros e cantadores, um estilo ainda muito aceitado no sertão, na periferia de Fortaleza e, no coração de todos aqueles que ainda querem preservar a cultura nordestina. Radialistas que passaram pela Assunção em seu primeiro biênio: Hermano Justa, Narcélio Lima verde, Ivonete Maia, Ribamar Matos, Edvar de Souza, Nazareno Albuquerque, Ivan Lima, Luiz Cavalcante, Paulo Oliveira, Tarcisio Holanda, Oliveira Ramos, Mauricio Carvalho, Marciano Lopes, F. Capibaribe, Airton Monte, Silvio Leite, Júlio Sales. A equipe esportiva foi incrementada com a contratação de Gomes Farias que permaneceu na rádio de 1964 a 1967, quando retornou para Dragão do Mar. A televisão na época era somente a TV Ceará canal 2, o que permitia a existência do rádio-teatro, que tinha no elenco Oliveira Filho, J. Oliveira, Dóris... Locutores Mattos Dourado, José Costa, Oséas Cruz, Peter Soares, Bonifácio de Almeida. A Superintendência da Emissora até 1966 ficou a cargo do Padre Landim, quando foi nomeado o Padre Gerardo Campos, que muito lutou para manter a Assunção num patamar estável. Eram seus companheiros de equipe sacerdotal: Padres Gotardo Lemos e Mirton Bezerra de lavor. Foram eles os responsáveis pela irradiação dos programas religiosos: “Oração por um dia Feliz”; “A Casa é de Todos”; “Movimento de Educação de Base – Escolas Radiofônicas”; “Missa do Pastor” e “Palavra do Pastor”. Em 1969, o veterano José Cabral de Araújo recebeu e aceitou o convite de Dom José Medeiros Delgado para assumira Superintendência da Assunção, em substituição ao Padre Gerardo Campos. Com o aval do Arcebispado, Cabral de Araujo apesar de paraplégico, tinha muita lucidez em suas decisões Houve assinatura e rescisão de contratos. Implantou em seis meses um novo modelo administrativo: o Arrendamento. O primeiro arrendamento foi no setor esportivo com a volta da equipe de Gomes farias, e a posterior contratação de Paulino Rocha. A partir de então a Assunção de quarta colocada passou a primeira, o que atraiu muitos anunciantes da Capital e do Interior. 1973 foi um ano de doçura para a Assunção quando pelo Ibope, confirmou primeiro lugar, porém a rádio Verdes Mares ofereceu a equipe esportiva uma proposta irrecusável, e assim se despediram da Assunção: Gomes Farias, Paulino Rocha, Bonifácio de Almeida, Souza Filho, Peter Soares, Moraes filho, Daniel Campelo e de lambuja José Maria Sales o operador de áudio. A emissora teve que buscar alternativas, e fora transformada em uma freqüência musical, enfatizando programas noticiosos, e voltar sua programação para os bairros, com sua unidade móvel de freqüência modulada, com locução de José Santana e o “Seu Repórter em Ação”. Aos 4 de agosto de 1973, assumia a Igreja em Fortaleza, Dom Aluísio Lorscheider, com recepção transmitida diretamente do aeroporto Pinto Martins, pelo recém contratado José Lisboa, vindo de uma longa caminhada através da Rádio Iracema, e assim nasceu a “Discoteca do Lisboa”. Em outubro do mesmo 73, Cabral de Araujo se desvincula da emissora por problema de saúde, e definitivamente abandona o rádio. Geraldo Fontenelle assume a superintendência. Fontenelle em suas andanças deu uma passada na Empresa Cearense de Turismo – Emcetur, quando ouviu uma linda voz de uma moçinha que fazia os anúncios para permissionários e turistas, no local da antiga cadeia pública. Tratava-se de Maria do Socorro Marques Viana, que de Iguatu havia chegado a Fortaleza em 1966. A mesma tinha um sonho, que era trabalhar em rádio, mas mesmo batendo nas portas não conseguia. Geraldo Fontenelle à conduziu para os microfones da Assunção Cearense que ainda ficava na rua Visconde de Saboya, e assim começou a trabalhar 29 no horário de 20 às 22 hs. A jovem Trabalhou por dois anos, indo para a Ceará Rádio Clube, e em seguida para a Dragão do Mar, quando em conversa com o diretor artístico da Dragão, José Elias vindo da Rádio Globo do Rio, sugestionou que Maria do Socorro deveria ser Samantha. Daí surgiu Samantha Marques. Em 1976, Dom Aluisio Lorscheider foi eleito e proclamado Cardeal da Igreja Católica. Foram importantes solenidades e dias alternados: dia 24 e 29 de maio na sala de solenidades do Papa Paulo VI na Basílica de São Pedro. Geraldo Fontenele viajou para a Itália e durante a permanência de Dom Aluísio em Roma, diariamente as 12 e 18 horas havia transmissões. Com equipe própria, essas foram consideradas as primeiras transmissões internacionais de rádio no Brasil. Por a emissora pertencer a igreja católica, ela teve por obrigação montar uma central de transmissão em seus estúdios(rua Visconde Sabóia), e com sua unidade móvel de FM, fazer toda a cobertura da visita do Papa João Paulo II à Fortaleza em Julho de 1980. Em outubro de 1981, Dom Aluísio anunciou a venda da Rádio Assunção Cearense. O clero cearense não foi consultado, apenas o Conselho Arquidiocesano e membros da CNBB. Com a participação do Monsenhor André camurça nas negociações, a rádio fora vendida em dezembro de 1981. Em súmula, a igreja católica ficou sem o Jornal O Nordeste, O Palácio São José (Do Bispo) e o Banco Popular. O radialista Moésio Loyola, que ainda atua nos microfones com programas esportivos tornou-se proprietário da Emissora, mas por tradição deixou espaço para a programação religiosa. Sei que vou pecar por omissão, mas quero deixar registrados alguns programas que marcaram época: O Esportivo com Paulino Rocha; Programa Oseias Cruz; Discoteca do Lisboa, com José Lisboa; Forrozão da Assunção com Carneiro Portela; Política com Fernando Maia; Recordação Saudade, E Os Anos Carregaram e Parada dos Maiorais com Wilson Machado. Nas tardes de sábado tinha um programa exclusivo de nostalgia e com musicas do passado não distante. Sempre na freqüência de 620 kHz, Rádio Assunção Cearense já esteve com o estúdio instalado na Rua Irauçuba e hoje na esquina da Rua Bárbara de Alencar com Avenida Rui Barbosa na Aldeota. Conservando programação esportiva a emissora de freqüência mais baixa de Fortaleza, no ano 2000 arrendou seus horários à Comunidade Católica Shalom, contrato este que perduraria até 10 de maio de 2006. A mesma, sem programação definida até 10 de julho do mesmo 06 tornou se afiliada da Rádio globo do Rio de Janeiro até 15 de julho de 2012. A partir do dia 16 numa Segunda feira, voltou novamente como Radio Assunção Cearense. A programação novamente enriqueceu a terra. Obs: Esse enriquecimento fora efêmero, afinal dias depois a Assunção intercalou sua programação com a Rede Bandeirante de Rádio. José Maranhão Pioneirismo Do Rádio No Ceará Aos 20 de janeiro de 1924, no Distrito Telegráfico (Os Correios), o Sr. Elesbão de Castro Velloso (engenheiro), reuniu em valia uma idéia inédita com outros companheiros também de engenharia. Criar a primeira entidade de Radiotelefonia na cidade de Fortaleza. Chamou-se Rádio Clube Cearense, com estatuto aprovado em 15 de fevereiro do mesmo 24, e cuja diretoria fora assim composta: Presidente: Engº Elesbão de Castro Velloso; Secretário: Dr. Carlos da Costa Ribeiro; Tesoureiro: Engº Antonio Eugênio Gadelha. Os demais membros efetivos do Clube eram: Desembargador Carlos Livino de Carvalho, Carlos Mesiano, Francisco Riquet Nogueira, Clovis Meton de Alencar, Augusto Mena Barreto, Mister Watson e Henrique Soares. Entre os outros associados e fundadores, constaram os nomes de Anthony de Alencar Santiago (técnico pioneiro), Hit Moraes e Oswaldo Fernandes. A diretoria do Rádio Clube Cearense queria colocar para funcionar com rapidez uma pequena estação emissora de 3 watts, para a operar experimentalmente ainda em março. Segundo técnicos da época, a potência deveria ser de pelo menos 30 watts. A receptora de 3 válvulas com circuito TSE e, acompanhada de alto-falante Ericsson supertone, fora instalada na sede da sociedade que, ficava em um salão da Phênix Caixeiral na época, esquina das ruas Gal. Sampaio com Guilherme Rocha, na antiga Praça Marquês do Herval (atual José de Alencar). Os receptores existentes em Fortaleza eram de propriedade dos associados Clovis Meton de Alencar, cujo circuito de reação com duas válvulas era por ele fabricado, tal qual o de Alfredo Euterpino Borges, fruto também de trabalho artesanal. Essa emissora não chegou a entrar no ar. Como nova tentativa no centro do salão, numa mesa especial e, estava ali o primeiro receptor importado. Era de fabricação francesa, com um imponente auto-falante de corneta. O momento do seu descortinamento foi saudado por prolongada salva de palmas acompanhado do hino nacional. Constara o receptor de uma caixa de tamanho descomunal, de madeira e um painel de ebonite com 4 “dial”, cheia de algarismos com legendas indicadoras em francês, e na porta exterior por cima, encaixadas em soquetes, 4 válvulas Lee Forest, de tamanho grande semelhante a uma garrafa de 600 ml. Foi feito o primeiro procedimento e ante a expectativa e ansiedade de todos, as experiências que às vezes iam até altas horas se prolongaram e, o aparelho nem sequer chiava. Após toda encenação e dias depois, chegaram a conclusão de que uma válvula não acendia, pois, estava queimada. Substituída por outra que estava numa caixa de reserva que acompanhava o aparelho, verificaram os “Técnicos” posteriormente, que os fios estavam invertidos. Com muita assistência, foi feita a ligação correta; o bicho apitou e alto! A alegria foi geral, com satisfação estampada em todos. Henrique Soares, tomando os controles, iniciou uma série de apitos em várias tonalidades e, isso foi prolongado até que cessou tudo. As baterias estavam esgotadas! Novas decepções e novos experimentos surgiram nos dias seguintes e enquanto isso, os comentários e as opiniões Técnicas eram as mais desordenadas, predominando, no entanto que a causa primordial era a antena inadequada. Em uma bela noite e já muito tarde, resolveram ir à casa de Henrique Soares no Jacarecanga, levando o “Bicho”, para experimentar uma das cinco antenas existentes, e vários “Terras” construídos de acordo com as instruções. O aparelho fora conduzido com apoio de duas tábuas. Todos apostavam no alto conceito técnico de Henrique! Referido equipamento foi levado à pé para evitar trepidações. O Mesiano não quis retirar as 30 válvulas receando trocá-la de lugar! Em um dia ignorado, mas já no final de 1924, o aparelho funcionou. Foi no Centro Artístico Cearense, na Tristão Gonçalves, local cedido pelo Cel. Antônio Diogo de Siqueira. Foi uma apoteose pra época. Quanta nitidez o volume! Uma musica suave estava sendo irradiada, não se sabia de onde! Chamaram o Cel. Diogo e família, e os telefones não pararam! Apareceu gente de toda parte. Ouviu-se musicas até o esgotamento da bateria. Ficou ajustado que ninguém mexeria em nada até a noite seguinte. Todo Clube, compareceu as 19. h e de imediato passaram a ouvir a mesma estação. Era uma questão de sintonia. Os técnicos ainda desconheciam o manejo ou ajuste dos “Diais”. Alguém perguntou: “de onde é essa musica”? Ante o silêncio, ouviu-se a voz juntamente com Hil Moraes e Oswaldo Fernandes, onde foi feito uma rede de radiotelegrafia, utilizando bobinas Ford, quando receberam em galenos, resultados surpreendentes. O Radio Clube Cearense havia tomado um novo impulso e havia importado um transmissor de 25 watts, de fabricação também francesa. Havia sido preparado um estúdio em uma das dependências do prédio Phenix Caixeiral na Praça José de Alencar, e foi organizado programas e festivais, como speakers. Foram construídos receptores de 3 válvulas, utilizando o esquema do circuito Sohnell. Os diais eram confeccionados com velhos discos de gramofone, e as suas engrenagens milimétricas com rede de relógios velhos! Henrique Soares era o técnico. O comércio local, interessado no “vírus” que atendera a cidade, passou a importar o material, merecendo destaque a Casa Edson, que aqui em Fortaleza era de propriedade do Sr. Machado. Dr. Elesbão Veloso, importou dos Estados Unidos um “kit” completo, material de ótima qualidade. Foi construída numa boa marcenaria, uma caixa, pelo modelo americano. Depois de pronto e experimentado, foi posto em exposição na Livraria Americana, na Praça do Ferreira como um cartão. Reunidos sempre na Phênix Caixeiral, a sociedade Rádio Clube Cearense com um equipamento receptor, sintonizava também em ondas curtas a “Rádio Sociedade do Rio de Janeiro” e, mesmo assim com um sinal de péssima qualidade. Muitos pesquisadores do Broadcasting desconhecem este capítulo. Foi esse o pioneirismo do rádio no Ceará, que por falta de condições para preservação dos equipamentos importados, insensibilidade cultural, escassez de recursos e a mão de ferro de Artur Bernardes então Presidente da República, essa história quase que se perde levado pelo vento de 1925. Desejar é melhor do que possuir, afinal posse é o prenuncio da morte do desejo. Daniel Camporini Rendición de Alemania El 8 de mayo de 1945 desde Radio Flensburg el almirante Doenitz anunciaba la muerte de Hitler y la rendición incondicional de las fuerzas a su mando. http://www.ivoox.com/rendicion-alemania-audios-mp3_rf_4468755_1.html Beto Torresillas Venta (México) A La Venta Sangean Ats-803a World Band Receiver Limpiecito $1000 Pesos Mas Envío .

Office: (510) 568-6200 Ext.221 Email: [email protected] Web: http://www.familyradio.org Sobre a Rádio Nacional do Rio de Janeiro AM 1.130 kHz. Presente na memória afetiva da população como a emissora que mostrou o Brasil aos brasileiros, a Rádio Nacional do Rio de Janeiro, inaugurada em 1936, tornou-se, já no início dos anos 1940, uma das cinco emissoras mais potentes do mundo. Suas transmissões em ondas médias e em três estações de ondas curtas, levaram longe o rádio brasileiro e integraram as regiões mais distantes do nosso território. A emissora desbravou novos gêneros, sistematizou a linguagem sonora e com sua programação plural consolidou as matrizes do rádio popular no país ao reunir na mesma grade, música, informação, humor, dramaturgia, esporte e programas de auditório. Instalada desde sua inauguração no lendário Edifício A Noite, na Praça Mauá, zona portuária da cidade, a Rádio Nacional do Rio de Janeiro, ao ser integrada à EBC, retomou a tradição das matrizes com que se consagrou, ao mesmo tempo em que se revitaliza, como a própria região em que se situa. Em razão da reforma do edifício, hoje está fisicamente instalada ao lado das outras emissoras cariocas da EBC, no também histórico edifíciosede da TV Brasil na avenida Gomes Freire. Agora, como parte integrante da EBC, a emissora por onde passaram grandes intérpretes, maestros e compositores de nossa música popular, de onde foram transmitidas as radionovelas que enriqueceram o imaginário do brasileiro, passa por ampla reformulação estrutural, técnica e de sua programação com os olhos no futuro sem esquecer, porém, das suas características históricas. Em 12 de setembro, a emissora completou 77 anos de história.

Ross Escuchas I'm not getting through these recordings too quickly, but today I listened to the recordings I made at the TOH for early Morning/Sunrise on May/07th. And Boy…I'm glad I did as these recordings presented me with 4 New Stations….all from the East/Southeast of me and all of relative low power!! I'm not used to logging a lot of New Stations on AM BCB in the month of MAY!! It's not exactly primo DX Season for the BCB!! There is no way I would have ever logged these 4 New Stations if I had just been Band Cruising on one of my Regular Radios!! These 4 New Catches have to be 100 % accredited to the ELAD SDR and it's ability to capture the entire band when it is HOT!! I can hardly wait til the Conditions get really good next Fall and Winter!! I figure I'll be about 6 months behind on listening to recordings by then however…… Keep in Mind that I am using a LOUSY 100 Foot Random Wire Antenna that is Very NOISY!! I have actually stopped making recordings on the BCB for a while til I get somewhat caught up on what I already have!! Plus I'm getting ready for the FM DX to crank up with Tropo and E-Skip. The ELAD also covers FM and does a Great Job on that Band too…so I am looking forward to recording some Big E-Skip and Tropo Openings……Experimenting with the ELAD I have discovered that it also records PI Codes and RDS Codes for the FM BAND…so that will really help too! I need a DX Secretary………..To listen to the recordings…and let me know what I heard !! AHHAHHAHA…….. It ain't old fashioned "Knob Cranking DXing"…but it sure does hear a Lot of Stuff….even if you're sleeping or outside working in the yard!!

Robert Wilkner Escuchas DX South Florida - follow us on the -- “Ontario DX Association” -- Face book Have the flu …. this issue out with a minimal of my logs .... typos and mistakes are my own. rlcw Musings -Greetings from the Connecticut Shoreline! Our move from Florida was arduous and chaotic. For about 6 months there was little I could do to get on the air. Either we were guests at the in-laws or there was over 2 feet of snow on the ground at the new house. Now that we have 2.1 acres of property in the hills above Madison, I think I can safely devote at least half of it to wire antennas of various types. There is even an 8.5 acre land trust lot directly to the south onto which I might be able to sneak a wire...a 1,375' long wire....hi! Can't see the forest for the....antenna wires. I've been looking at the trees here as the likely place to mount wires. (As have hams and DXers who lived near trees since the dawn of radio.) The tree 39 canopy averages between 50 and 65 feet depending on the type of tree. The dominant variety is beech with a healthy percentage of white oak. I've seen seed and leaves from tulip poplar but haven't spotted any on my property yet. I have a wild cherry outlier near the road but mostly I'm dealing with the beech stands and the convoluted mess that is their root and limb networks. A more miserable wire snagging tree probably does not exist outside of the osage orange. Beech is pretty hard and trimming is a chore. I had to purchase new capability to take it on and have built a couple of "measuring tunnels"* in the mess that is the stand to the south of the property. They do offer a fair amount of limbs onto which to mount antennas. The oaks have very few limbs which run perpendicular to the trunk and that holds true to the canopy ceiling. I have one or two to the west that I can exploit but it looks like it's beech mounting or nothing for the most part. Climbing is not an option for getting ropes and pulleys up onto a limb. There are few lower limbs in the taller trees and the ones that exist are rarely less than 20-25' high. I have been looking at extension ladders but the taller ones are expensive and difficult to transport. My current strategy for mounting is to throw an old Master Lock tied to a small diameter nylon twine over a limb and attach 1/4" poly rope to one end and pull it up and over. I put a small swivelling pulley on one end of the rope and set another rope into the pulley and haul it and one end of the antenna up. In this fashion I've been able to get my end fed Zepp style experimental antenna up to nearly 40'. It takes around 200' of rope to mount one antenna end or center at 40'-50', you can do if with less if you don't care about bringing that part of the antenna down for maintenance. I'm not sure if I have the arm to get up much higher using this method. I figure that anything above 30 feet is a good thing. I hardly built anything up higher than ~15' in the trees in my Florida backyard, so I'll take 35-40' any time. From what I could gather from looking over OCF dipole designs, I see where the Buckmaster people don't want you to put the apex over 35'.The G5RV designs just want enough height to allow the twin lead portion to play out fully without touching the ground or being bent so a full size version should be happy with ~32'. * Measuring Tunnels? In Florida I had barely 0.2 acres to work with so manual tape measurements were fairly easy. Even when I experimented with on-the-ground two-wire Beverage antennas at remote sites I used a Keson "Road Runner" to measure distances. The "Road Runner" rolled along the ground surface and had a geared mechanism used to read out distances. That method is good for smooth surfaces that lack obstructions but here I have a small forest for a sizeable portion of my backyard. That means large granite boulders strewn about and lots of fallen trees limbs and trunks. I have invested in a Bosch GLR825 Laser Rangefinder to help solve the issue of figuring out where and how to put up wires. In addition to just measuring distances in a straight line over rough terrain, it has a feature that allows you to measure the height of an object. This is mostly useful for fixed and regular structures but can be used to give a rough estimate of the height of a tree or its upper limbs. The GLR825 can measure distances up to 825 feet and is accurate to within .016 inches. I did an experiment where I cleared the brush and tree limbs for around 350' in one direction (and was still on my own property....life is good!) and measured down this "tunnel" in the forest to a distant tree with the GLR825. I also used my Garmin GPS unit and took down the coordinates between the same two points. This is the interesting part: The Garmin, strapped to the built-in inaccuracy in the GPS system, calculated the distance between the two waypoints to be nearly 15' further than the laser rangefinder. When I put the recorded coordinates into a geocache calculator I found on the internet the distance difference came out to be less than 5 inches. It is an older GPS unit so maybe things are better with the newer ones. -Russel Scotka NICARAGUA Radio Catolica, Managua, 1030, ID and then into a program about a saint April 28 (XM) Unidentified, 1007, somebody playing XE-type mx, no signs of WLS, does not fit format for KSAH Universal City, TX, went into rather quick fade May 4 (XM) 810 Puerto Rico WKVM San Juan, 0955-105, carrying EWTN SP relig pgming in // w/ 830 WACC Hialeah, these have been in before but not for over a year, usually WACC is stronger, but this morning WKVM was April 30 (XM) 960 GEORGIA WJYZ Albany, 1032, call-letter iD in the midst of heavy QRM April 26 (XM) 960 Alabama, WERC Birmingham, 1030, TC and ID, May 6 (XM) 970 Cuba, 1028, My unidentified Cuban of May 3 was definitely identified as R Guama, Los Palacios, running // w/ 990 R Guama, Pinar del Rio May 4 (XM) 980 Georgia, WPGA Perry, 1021, ad for Macon auto dealer May 5 (XM) 980 Tennessee, WYFN Nashville, 1020-1030, Gospel mx and pgm from the Bible Broadcasting Network, ID, first time April 27 (XM) 1050 FLORIDA WROS Jacksonville, 1025-1030, David Jeremiah relig pgm followed by full ID, fair May 8 (XM) 1290 FLORIDA WJNO West Palm Beach, 1200, ID and Faux Nx, was surprised to find this at near local level this late April 28 (XM) 1290 North Carolina, WHKY Hickory, 1000, very strong "WHKY Hickory" ID and then rapid fade out into the QRM, first time April 27 (XM) 2485 Australia, VL8K Katherine NT 1025 om in English, 1028 music 1030 om & yl… threshold with some audio 7 May (Wilkner) 3289.9 Guyana, GBC Voice of Guyana 2350 om in English then yl 2351 on 28 April ; 0945 to 1000 Christian minister “ For God said….” 30 April ; 2350 to 0000 very poor signal only copied in ssb. 7 May (Wilkner) 3310 Bolivia Radio Mosoj Chaski, Cochabamba 2345 to 2357 music with a good signal alas no announcements heard 7 May (Wilkner) 4699.9 Bolivia, Radio San Miguel, Riberalta 2340 to 2355 in Spanish with om chat, weak signal with fades 28 April (Wilkner) 4716.65 Bolivia Radio Yatun Ayllu Yura, Yura irregular operation or silent? - rlcw 4765 Cuba, Radio Progresso 0320 rock “Fly Like An Eagle” by Steve Miller Band; 0330 3 May (Wilkner) Parallel 900 Radio Progreso Cacocun, Holguin - 750 Radio Progresso Palmira, Ciefuegos 730 Radio Progresso La Fe, Isla de la Juventud - or- Camaguey , Camaguey , 920 Radio Progresso Pilon, Granma - 3 May (Wilkner) 4774.9 Perú Radio Tarma.

As has emphasized the State Minister Nikos Pappas, "our intention is to restore the people's trust and relationship of society towards the public 41 broadcaster." In this regard already began the process of establishing the Board. From Thursday posted an open call for proposals to fill the Chair of the Board positions of CEO and three other Board members ERT. The process ends tomorrow, so the Board to establish a body and immediately select persons who will staff the new organization. The information EPT profile is its big bet, while the name "ERT" is the strong trump. Therefore, according to reports, the ERT will name everywhere. All three TV channels (ERT1, ERT2, ERT3) and satellite channel and four radio stations and dozens of regional radio stations (19 had when the ND and PASOK closed). According to reports, there will be independent broadcasting sector for expatriates with the television channel ERT World and radios Friendship and Voice of Greece. The new administration should immediately find the faces and voices that express the new ERT, leaving behind the period of Memoranda, and outdated perceptions. Certainly the work will be done with limited resources as ERT continues to pay part of the budget of the state public debt another element along with that was profitable, which "forget" the celebrator "black" .. . The next stage will be the restructuring of the organization and the work of the ERT by streamlining structures and allocation of personnel, and integrating functions of the period of self-organization that proved to have worked in practice.

EDITORIAL Estimados amigos, en esta oportunidadp ara agraceder nuevamente como otras tantas, el apoyo de cada uno de ustedes. Pero también con algunos matices que la verdad muchas veces no entiendo, donde decimos vamos a luchar por lo que va quedando del hobby, algunas veces parece ser que no nos unimos como deseamos o pretendemos, al menos de la boca hacia afuera. Ver en ciertos circulos que limitan la informacion del presente boletin, diciendo este espacio es exclusive para tal cosa u otra, entonces la pregunta primaria es decir, queremos unirons o solamente figurar ante otros. Y esto lo digo con cuasa justificada, en el boletin rara vez coloco cosas mias, opino ciertas cosas, o trato de ver que mi persona sea vista por algo, claro, en la pagina de presentacion esta mi foto, mi nombre como editor y hasta alli. Despues la verdad no entiendo, y este malestar lo digo porque no ha ocurrido unicamente en este tiempo, en donde podria nombrar tres situaciones en donde aducen exclusividad, personalizada o que se yo, la verdad que no los entiendo, aqui nadie paga nada, todo es libre, se dan los creditos a quienes se toma la informacion, en fin, se que debe haber criticas como todas las cosas, pero de alli a que se piense que esta hecho para lograr una Gloria personal, nada mas lejos de la realidad, mis trabajos en la Antigua Asociacion Diexman Uruguay desde que se habia fundado en abril del año 1984 y del cual fui participle, dice todo lo contrario, siempre con animo de que si se publicaba algo llegara a mas personas, hoy con toda la tecnologia por supuesto, esta publicacion llega a mas de 200 paginas de facebook, se puede enviar el mismo a mas de 5000 email lo cual suspendi por el momento, en los mismo hay radioclubes, agrupaciones, emisoras de todo tipo, desde las internacionales a las mas humildes comunitarias, programas, y asi podria seguir nombrando, y lo unico que se quiere es patrocinar la radioescucha, unicamente, sin glorias, sin asuntos raros, en fin, ustedes capaz no comprendan mis palabras, pero en realidad es asi, dividimos todo, separamos todo, en fin, somos mas de lo mismo, radioescuchas que hoy pueden escuchar internacionales, mañana en onda media o FM, despues clandestinas, satelites, en fin, y esta bien que tengamos amigos que realicen ese trabajo de aunar personas en un hobby especifico, no lo combat, es mas si es por mi lo patrocino, se necesita, ahora que despues se agranden las cosas y digamos exclusividad en algo, eso no, pero por suerte para todos es una minoria, de igual forma queria expresarlo porque esa una cosa que me molesta. Perdonen por estas palabras, pero se merecian tambien saber de ciertas cosas que muchas veces muestran los dientes y por otro lado no es tan asi, ojala sea una pausa para la recapacitacion, de mi parte tambien, con humildad y mientras las fuerzas me den seguiremos en este camino, con material libre, gratuito y universal. Como dice el amigo Dino Bloise, el mas internacional, yo no lo pienso asi pero si refleja amigos de todas partes del mundo, y orgullos que tenemos que estar, que una publicacion desde America Latina tenga amigos en todo el mungo. Nuevamente muchas gracias a todos, y mis disculpas nuevamente. Un abrazo y se cuidan. 42
