Is WLW AM 700 For Sale ?
The U.S. Department of Justice today ordered Clear Channel to sell stations in
Cincinnati, Houston, Las Vegas and San Francisco in order for a group of
private equity investors led by Bain Capital and Thomas H. Lee Partners to
proceed with purchasing a controlling interest in Clear Channel.

THAILAND: Popular radio broadcaster knocked off the air
http://www.cpj.org/news/2008/asia/thai15feb08na.html
New York, February 15, 2008-The Committee to Protect Journalists is
concerned about recent news reports that Thai radio broadcaster Chirmsak
Pinthong?s popular talk news program has been cancelled.
Chirmsak told local reporters that his program was cancelled after Jakrapob
Penkair, a minister in the prime minister?s office, called FM 105 station?s
concession holder, Fatima Broadcasting International Co., and requested
that they remove the program known as "Chirmsak?s Viewpoints" from the
station, which is owned by the state-run Public Relations Department.
Private concessionaires in Thailand produce news programs for state-
owned radio and television stations. Previous Thai governments and military
agencies have regularly censored broadcasts through concession holders,
often threatening not to renew their contracts, which are usually granted on a
one- or two-year renewable basis.
The cancellation of the program comes just days after the prime minister?s
office announced plans to establish a task force to monitor news balance on
state-owned broadcast media. The Thai government and military currently
own all of Thailand?s estimated 525 radio frequencies.
"We call upon the government to respond to these allegations and explain
the reasons for the removal of the radio program," said Joel Simon, CPJ?s
executive director. "We are concerned that the allegations sound similar to
the intimidation tactics previous Thai governments have used to stifle media
criticism of their administrations."
According to local news reports, the new government took offense at
Chirmsak?s on-the-air refutation of Prime Minister Samak Sundaravej?s claim
in a recent CNN television interview that only one person was killed during a
controversial government crackdown on pro-democracy student
demonstrators on October 6, 1976.
Chirmsak referred to independent accounts saying that at least 41 students
were killed in the violence. Samak had broadcast a right-wing radio
campaign against the student activists prior to the crackdown, according to
the BBC.
Jakrapob has publicly denied allegations that he or any government official
ordered the removal of Chirmsak?s program from the air, saying that
censorship "is not government policy." He blamed "invisible hands" who are
attempting to discredit the government for stirring the controversy, according
to the Web site of Bangkok-based The Nation daily newspaper.Please ead

The Shortwave Report 2/15/08 Listen Globally!
by Dan Roberts ( outfarpress [at] saber.net )
Thursday Feb 14th, 2008 4:25 PM
A weekly 30 minute review of news and opinion, recorded from a
shortwave radio. With times and freqs for listening at home. 2 files-
broadcast and slow-modem streaming. Free to rebroadcast. China,
Netherlands, Cuba, and Russia.
Dear Radio Friend,
The latest Shortwave Report (February 15) is up at the website
http://www.outfarpress.com/outfarpress/shortwave.shtml in both broadcast
quality (13.3MB) and quickdownload or streaming form (4.9MB) (28:59)
This week's show features stories from China Radio International, Radio
Netherlands, Radio Havana Cuba, and the Voice of Russia.
>From CHINA- The widespread electrical outages in China, caused by
extreme snow and cold, should be restored by the end of March. The UN is
calling on members states to act sooner rather than later to take measures
to control climate change. Kevin Rudd, new Prime Minister of Australia, has
offered an unprecedented apology to the aboriginal people, often called "the
Stolen Generations."
>From NETHERLANDS- More in-depth analysis and comment on the
Australian apology to the indigenous people of the continent. European
human rights groups are noting the growth of "Islamaphobia" in the
Netherlands with increasing violence and discrimination.
>From CUBA- As the US government posts images of the most sought after
terrorists, they have left out Luis Posada Carriles- some members of Code
Pink travelled to Miami to protest this apparent injustice.
>From RUSSIA- Russia has signed a contract to provide materials for the
nuclear fusion power plant being built by seven nations in the south of
France. China and Russia have submitted to the UN a joint draft treaty on
the prevention of the deployment of weapons in outer space.
There is an article about the Shortwave Report by Cassandra Roos on line
at-http://www.campusprogress.org/soundvision/780/big-stories-shortwaves
I was interviewed for an informative weekly radio show Mediageek, available
at http://radio.mediageek.net
All that plus times and frequencies for listening at home. It's free to
rebroadcast, please notify me if you're airing it and haven't notified me in
the
last month, please mention the website if you only air a portion. If you just
want to listen and have a slow connection, try the streaming version- lower
sound quality but good enough and way easier if you don't have a high-
speed internet connection. If streaming is a problem because of your slow
connection, download the smaller file- it takes 20 minutes or less, and will
play swell in any mp3 player application (RealPlayer, Winamp, Quicktime,
iTunes, etc) you have on your computer.
This program will be aired on Friday afternoon at 4:30pm (PST) on KZYX/Z
Philo CA, you might be able to stream via
There are several other streams that work better- <
http://www.freakradio.org >Freak Radio Santa Cruz now streams this
program on Friday at 9:00am and Monday at 5:30pm(PST)
The Shortwave Report may be downloaded as a podcast from <
http://www.radio4all.net/podcast.php/.xml?series=outFarpress%20presents > or
iTunes (search for "shortwave" in podcasts)
Check out the amazing streams at < http://www.radicalradio.org >
And Radio For Peace International at < http://www.rfpi.org >
I hope you'll listen and air this if you're connected with a radio station. I
am
still wondering how to get financially compensated for the 25 hours I put into
this program weekly- any ideas are appreciated. Any stations rebroadcasting
this (or listeners) are welcome to donate for production costs. You can do so
through the website. Many thanks to those that have donated! No Guilt!

RADIO HAVANA CUBA
DXERS UNLIMITED
DXERS UNLIMITED?S WEEKEND EDITION 16 ? 17 FEBRUARY 2008
BY ARNIE CORO
RADIO AMATEUR CO2KK
Hi amigos radioaficionados all around the world, and also greetings to
those radio amateur operators now in orbit around Planet Earth.
Recently a listener asked for the complete detailed list of the the more
than 83 ways that you can I can enjoy amateur radio, and practically all
of them are available to almost anyone, except one that is exclusive to
space travelers...because as you are surely aware not many
of us have the opportunity of flying into Earth orbit !!!.
Enjoying our radio hobby may prove to be as inexpensive as searching for
DX on the AM broadcast medium wave band with a low cost receiver, or as
expensive and sophisticated as organizing and participating in an
amateur radio DX expedition to a very remote location... Between those
two extremes, there are more than 80 ways of having a good time with our
radios amigos !!! Here is an excellent example.. become an ultra low
power amateur radio operator... just recently an American ham was able
to design and homebrew an ultra low power rig, that was built using a
Zener diode as its active device... No, this is not a science fiction
show... amigo Mike, AA1TJ experimented with a Zener diode that he
operates as a broadband noise generator, and then proceeded to filter
the radio frequency noise with a quartz crystal , converting it into the
narrow bandwidth of an 80 meters band signal... Amazing.. , sure !!! But
amigo Mike has done several other ultra low power or QRP sub P
experiments that have allowed him to reach the ultimate goal of
communicating under the criteria of one million miles per Watt of input
power...
Congratulations to Mike AA1TJ, an excellent example of the many
experiments that a dedicated radio amateur can do when both know-how and
the interest in operating homebrew equipment go together... And talking
about home brew equipment... be it a simple radio receiver or a
sophisticated digital synthetized ham radio transceiver... there is
nothing like operating a piece of radio equipment that you have built
with your own hands... My 2 Watt transmitter , a crystal controlled rig
that I like to operate on the 30 meters or 10 point one megaHertz
amateur band, is a good example of what I am talking about... each time
I finish a two way contact on the very interesting thirty meters band
with the 2 Watt solid state homebrew rig, I feel a very special
pleasure, as I know that the two way contact was possible thanks to
spending many hours experimenting with recycled electronic components
from TV sets, computers and even an old FAX machine to turn them into an
effective 30 meters band transmitter...
Now please standby for a few seconds, as the weekend edition of Dxers
Unlimited continues after a short break for station ID...
.......
You are listening to Radio Havana Cuba, the name of the show is Dxers
Unlimited and yes, we do QSL, we do thank you all for your reception
reports and send back a nice QSL card to confirm that you have heard our
station... Send your signal reports, comments about our programs and
your radio hobby related questions to arnie at rhc dot cu... again arnie
at rhc dot cu, or VIA AIR MAIL to Arnie Coro , Radio Havana Cuba,
Havana, Cuba...
This is our weekend edition and now here is item three :
Solar activity continues to be at extremely low levels, with no sunspots
seen for a very long period... scientists are now beginning to worry
about what is really happening som 93 million miles of 150 million
kilometers away from Planet Earth inside our nearest star... the SUN...
According to some recently advanced criteria the present solar cycle 23
may extend well into 2008, with the upcoming cycle 24 not really showing
up its first continuos sunspots active regions until next year... At the
present time solar scientists are just scrutinizing the solar disc to
try to find active sunspot regions that simply are not there..
Item four: Low sunspots or no sunspots are suppsedly the ideal condition
for low frequency Dxing, and already 160 meters band operators are
trying to improve their DX entities count to make the best possible use
of propagation conditions on 160 meters that won?t return until at least
nine or ten more years... Although operation on the 1.8 to 2.0 megaHertz
amateur band requires large antennas, during the present period of very
low ionospheric absorption due to the extremely low solar activities
some ham radio operators are achieving amazing results on 160 using
short vertical antennas and the proverbial inverted L, the most popular
antenna among the 160 meters band operators around the world... Let me
add that the very good propagation conditions on 160 will continue well
into the end of March, and that similarly good DX conditions will be
also enjoyed by 80 meter band operators..
.............................
Si amigos, this is Radio Havana Cuba, the name of the program is Dxers
Unlimited, this is our weekend edition, reaching you on Saturdays and
Sundays UTC days and yes
we do QSL, we do verify reception reports with a beautiful QSL card that
I am sure you will keep in your collection and show to your friends for
years to come.
Item five: At the request via e-mail of several Dxers Unlimited
listeners here is once again... what really
happens everytime when I arrive at RHC Studio 6,and my sound engineer of
many years now, Jose
Costa Pupo, sets the audio frequency equalizer according to my own
optimized frequency response curve... The shape of the curve is
optimized specifically for my voice, so you won?t hear audio below 250
cycles per second, or above 3000 cycles per second...
And sure, it does sound much better under difficult propagation
conditions... Pepe as we all here call Costa Pupo, also boosts the
frequency range from 500 to 1500 kiloHertz by 6 dB over our reference,
to further boost the talk power of RHC transmitters when Dxers Unlimited
is on the air So what you actually hear is just your?s truly
optimization of the audio frequency response to achieve the best
possible reception of voice signals via short wave...
Item six: Our popular antenna topics section today will attempt to
clarify things for listener Ben from Montana... Amigo Benjamin listens
to our 6180 kiloHertz transmitter and wanted to improve his antenna for
the 49 meters band. As he tells me that living out in the countryside
gives him lots of room to install antennas, here is my advice. You can
certainly improve your reception of the segment of the short wave
spectrum from five to ten megaHertz by homebrewing the large size
version of my FAN DIPOLE antenna. The length of each leg of this antenna
is 20 meters and each side requires of three wires that fan out from the
center insulator so that when they reach the end insulator they will be
spread 5 meters in other words amigo Ben, your wide band fan dipole will
have a center wire, and then the upper wire ends up two and half meters
above the center wire, while the lower wire ends up two and half meters
below the center wire of the dipole.
The antenna is fed using a one to one broadband balun and 50 ohms
coaxial cable. If you will only be using the antenna for receiving only
, this arrangement will work very well , but in case you want to use if
for transmitting, then the antenna must be fed with a 300 to 450 ohms
impedance balanced transmission line of at least fifteen meters in
length, and then at the end of that balanced line, you must install a
pair of balanced to unbalanced transformers or BALUNS, that can be
switched remotely from the shack. One of the BALUNS is a one to one
device and the other one is a four to one unit. From the BALUN?s low
impedance coaxial line output you can run the coax feedline to an
antenna tuner... In my practical experience such broadband antenna
arrangement will provide you with an excellent receiving and transmtting
system...
BUT , let me add that in order for this antenna system to be really
effective it must be installed at least at a minimum height above ground
of six meters, or better yet, you will want to install it at 10 meters
minimum height above the sorrounding terrain. At my home QTH,here in
Havana, I have a half size version of this antenna, that works well from
about seven to twenty nine megaHertz, but having using the full size
version at ham radio contests sites, I can assure you that the full size
FAN DIPOLE with its 40 meters overall length is an excellent antenna for
receiving between 3 and 10 megaHertz. If you do homebrew the antenna and
install it amigo Ben, keep me up to date about the results that you
achieve during this period of very low solar activity when low band
Dxing is plentiful ,and of course I also want to know how much does the
reception of our 6180 kiloHertz transmitter improves at your location...
...................
Now the weekend edition of Dxers Unlimited continues via short wave and
from 05 to 07 UTC we are also on the world wide web via streaming audio
from http://rhc.cu.... Just before going QRT, here is Arnie Coro?s HF
plus low band VHF propagation update and forecast.
It seems like the tail end of solar cycle 23 is going to last for at
least several more weeks... the most recent forecasts call for extremely
low solar activity , rock bottom solar flux near 70 units and lower,
with very few sunspots to be seen for at least six more weeks... so
,again for your information short wave propagation conditions will be
limited to the lower frequency bands, with daytime propagation reaching
only up to 18 or 20 megaHertz, while the night time maximum useable
frequency on some paths will dip even below seven or six megaHertz ,
amazing as it may sound , but something typical of extremely long
periods of very low solar activity.
Amateur radio operators that enjoy the use of the 160 meters band will
be able to work some nice DX during the rest of February and early
March... something that they will share with AM medium wave broadcast
band Dxers, they both will be enjoying what could possibly be described
as the best propagation conditions for the AM broadcast band and 160
meters for many years to come... I do Hope to have you all listening to
the mid week edition of Dxers Unlimited , Tuesday and Wednesday UTC
days, and don?t forget to send me your signal reports , comments about
the program and radio hobby related questions to arnie at rhc dot cu, or
VIA AIR MAIL to Arnie Coro, Radio Havana Cuba, Havana, Cuba...
