Radio Veritas - windows to the world
http://mb.com.ph/articles/202260/radio-veritas-windows-world
By HERN. P. ZENAROSA
April 13, 2009, 6:32pm
After 40 years of having been in the service of the country, mention of Radio
Veritas today still conjures of a restrictive communication facility through
which official statements of the Catholic church are issued.
That may be true but Radio Veritas is not just a communication outlet of the
country's Catholic church: It is the only continental short wave radio station
of the Catholic church that opens its windows to the world.
To be sure, Radio Veritas has a long history that started in 1969 when its
first regular overseas broadcast began.
But probably more compelling were the ideals and circumstances that
inspired and brought about its fulfillment.
All this will be discussed when a symposium on "Catholic Radio
Broadcasting in Asia" is held Wednesday starting at 8 in the morning at the
Pope Paul VI Auditorium, Radio Veritas Asia Compound in Fairview Park,
Quezon City.
Fr. Roberto Ebisa, svd, Radio Veritas Asia general manager, said
participants in the convocation are eminent persons who have been involved
or related to the development of Radio Veritas Asia from the start and to
what it is today.
Significantly, the establishment of Radio Veritas was the result of a common
aspiration of no less than the Vatican, the German government and the
Catholic Bishops of Germany, and Catholic Bishops of the Philippines led at
the time by Rufino Cardinal Santos, among others.
"The German government provided since 1962 on my initiative and at the
special request of Cardinal Agagianian, the special Papal delegate, with the
approval of then Federal Chancellor Dr. Konrad Adenauer, a total of 13.5
million German marks for the establishment of the Church station Radio
Veritas in Manila," Msgr. Wilhem Wissing of the Catholic Bishops
Conference of Germany, said.
It must be mentioned that the decision to establish Radio Veritas in Manila
was a consequential reaction to the threat of communism that at the time
was spreading in Asian countries such as China, North Korea, Burma, and
North Vietnam.
It is said that Cardinal Santos took up the idea of Radio Veritas because as
the only Catholic country in Asia - and being at the doorsteps of China - it
was in the best position to spread Catholic faith and thus prevent the spread
of communism in the region.
News and information released through Radio Veritas are heard in Asian
countries and around the world in various languages - assuredly
demonstrating its importance as a pervasive influence in the intensification
of the Catholic faith.
"The advent of the Internet that allows webcasting, news streaming, and
podcasting," according to Fr. Ebisa who has been RadioVeritas' general
manager since 2007, "has led to many changes in the listening habits of
radio listeners," - and so did in the new episode of Radio Veritas history: The
launch of digital recording and broadcast automation and the creation of the
Information System Office.
Participating in tomorrow's symposium include Bishop Berdardino C. Cortez,
D.D., chairman, commission on social communications and mass media,
CBCP; Sr. Angela Liu, MMB, coordinator, Mandarin service (China); Rev. Fr.
Sebastian Perianan, Ph. D., Rector, St. Peter's Seminary of Banglore, India;
Rev. Fr. John La Raw, Kachin service (Myanmar); Dr. Chainarong
Monthienvichienchai, president, St. John's University of Bangkok, Thailand;
Ms. Irmgard Icking, MISSIO-Aachen, Germany; and Archbishop Claudio
Maria Celli, D.D., president, Pontifical Council for Social Communications,
Vatican City, Rome.

** BRAZIL. RNA, 11780, at 1346 April 13, Portuguese song squeezed between
Anguilla 11775 and CRI Kashi 11785; and momentary audio dropout, a persistent
problem at Bras?lia (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA [and non]. 6030 with oscillating whoop-whoop jammer, similar sound but
not identical to 6350 from Korea North, April 13 at 1313, vs something in
Chinese on 6030, i.e. per Aoki A09: 6030*Ming Hui Radio 1300-1400 1234567
Chinese 100 325 Tanshui TWN 12125E 2511N MHR a09
At 1405 recheck, jammer still going but much weaker, and now the victim is CFVP
Calgary with its country music (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [and non]. R. Rebelde, 5025, was open carrier at 0535-0540+ April 12.
Propagation was terrible at this time with WWCR 5070 only poor, no CFRX on
6070, nothing on 9 MHz except DW-Kigali in German on 9480 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. RHC is making a number of frequency changes April 13. Can it be
coincidental that they wait until the public A-09 HFCC is out, since they
refuse to participate in HFCC for advance coordination?
On April 10, Alan Pennington in the BDXC-UK heard them announce some new
English frequencies: 17660 2030-2130, 13790 2300-2400, 6010 0500-0700 but not
what they would be replacing, or additional?
Anyhow, Radio Mil and LV de tu Conciencia no longer need to worry about who is
using 6010 during those two hours (or longer? RHC could be on 6010 in Spanish
before 0500). At 2030, the English frequencies have been 11760 and 13680, so is
one of those replaced by 17660? At 2300, 9550 has been the only intentional
English channel, so is that replaced by 13790?
Already at 0534 April 13 as Isabel Garc?a was starting the mailbag show, we
found new 6010 on the air with a VG signal, but the other three 49m channels in
English, 6000, 6060 and 6140 were also still on. Most likely the 6010
transmitter has moved down from 9550 or 11760, which were not audible, as they
often have not been due to propagation. Modulation level on 6000 was very low
compared to the other three.
In Spanish at 1351 April 13, found new 13780 was going // 13680, both very
strong. 13780 replaces 15370 which was missing, and still heard on all the
other old frequencies, 15360, 15120, 13760, 12000, 11760, and 6000 which at
1355 was still on making an echo with 13680 at a different site but
synchronized with weak 13760. At 1359:30 the time was ``exactamente las 10,
ante meridiano``. Does RHC have any idea what ``exactly`` means? I made a point
of listening for frequency announcement before and after the 1400 news, but
there was none, 1403 directly into Voces de la Revoluci?n. Sign-off
announcement at 1457, when they never say what their morning frequencies are,
on 13780 had been updated to say they would return at 2100 on 13760, 13790,
11820 and 11800, the middle two being new.
11820 will collide with Saudi Arabia at 1800-2300 toward Eu and NAm, a regular
here in our afternoons. 13780 is already registered by VOR at 12-14, and DW via
Woofferton at 14-16, which I recall hearing there, but now totally blocked by
RHC. 13790 should be clear in the 21-24 period.
Have any of these changes been put into the frequency schedule at
http://www.radiohc.cu/espanol/frecuencia/frecuencias-espanol.htm ---?
Of course not. It sometimes takes weeks for them to update their website
frequency schedule and they may or may not remember to change the effective
dates at the top too. Nor did Arnie mention any frequency changes in his April
11 DXUL script. There are probably additional changes to be discovered.
On Sunday April 12 I rechecked the frequencies for Spanish DX program En
Contacto at its new time, just started at 2245. Last week only 13760 was really
carrying it, but this time the other three frequencies were too, 9550, 11750
and 11800. 9550 and 11750 were synchronized, 13760 an echo apart, and 11800 too
weak to evaluate (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** JAPAN [non]. NHKWNRJ in English, April 13 at 1421, fair on 13630, via
Rampisham UK at 62 degrees, about one second behind Sackville, CANADA relay on
11705. So 13630 is an alternative for the 1400-1429 broadcast if there is too
much echo on 11705, or too close to Sackville in skipzone (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** UKRAINE. It appears RUI`s DX program has finally been canceled. The last
edition by Olex Yehorov was produced in February, but was still being repeated
on April 4; but UT Sunday April 12 on 7440 (actually I was listening to the
webcast) the Mailbag started much earlier taking up the slack, from 0017 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WWRB spurs from 9385 still there, April 13 at 1340 on 9317 with
Brother Scare audio readable, but the match on 9453 only a het against Thailand
9455 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WYFR mix of two English programs on 11795, April 13 at 1344, one
Camping, one not; leapfrog of 11865 over 11830, but in this case could be FRG-7
receiver overload rather than transmitted (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. On morning bandscans I strain to hear anything on 6045, in case
XEXQ returns; April 13 at 1315 there was some extremely weak talk and 1318 song
but unseems classical. Most likely V of Russia, Mandarin via Vladivostok per
HFCC and EiBi, via Novosibirsk per Aoki (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. Further checking of RHC frequency changes on April 13: at 2002, 11800
in Portuguese // much stronger new 11820 and an echo apart from it; 11760 in
French. No signals on 11750 or 13680, nor could I detect anything for sure on
17660, previously announced as new for English at 2030. The 17705 Venezuelan
relay was audible poorly.
Did not check the 2030-2130 English broadcast until 2120, and 17660 still
inaudible but maybe on and not propagating; by then nothing but Spanish music
fill on 11760, and not a word announced in any language until 2129 IS and 2130
into French without any frequencies given; but presumably 11760 is the
2030-2130 English frequency, as not // 11800, 11820 and new 13790 in Spanish
talk. Still no signals on 13680 or 11750, the latter now avoiding the collision
from Guam I have been reporting after 2100.
RHC also has dropped 9550 for English at 2300. The DentroCuban Jamming Command
probably complained that RHC was interfering with their jamming of Radio
Rep?blica on 9545, hi hi. The 2300 English now heard on new 13790 with VG
signal; Spanish audible at this hour on 13680, but not found on any 25m
frequency.
Next check at 0102 April 14: 13790 still on and VG in Kriyol; English on 6000
with a theremin/musical saw warble/wobbler underneath, and without that on
6140. All other frequencies // in Spanish: 5965, 6060, new 6120 with poor
audio, 9600, 11690, 11760, 13760 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See
also RUSSIA [and non]
** ETHIOPIA [non]. 15665, WHRI-1 at 1957 Monday April 13, just as I tuned in
heard ``Amen`` in language, presumably Amharic, and after a bit more talk cut
off without sign-off at 1958. Per WHR online sked this is 1900-2000 Mon
Demitse-Tewahedo 15665; only fair here (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** RUSSIA [and non]. 9810 finally confirmed with VOR, first as something in
Spanish at 0047 April 14 mixing with leftover DentroCuban jamming against R.
Rep?blica which moved to 9545 a biweek ago. Commies vs ex-Commies! And at 0059
VOR IS barely audible on 9810, sheduled to SAm at 0000-0200:

The ONLY VOR English frequencies we have to work with at 0100 are 9665 and
9890. 9665 Moldova wasn`t making it, and 9890 Samara(?) was barely audible
before 0100, improving somewhat to poor after 0100 April 14. Meanwhile, VOR
7395 in Spanish was inbooming with generator hum, presumably via Guiana French,
which is the site they need to use to make it to NAm reliably when
higher-latitude propagation is so poor, just as they did in B-08 on 7335. One
good frequency beats 40 bad ones (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SERBIA [non]. IRS had reportedly finally made the change to 9675 after a
biweek of colliding with Romania and China/Cuba on 9580, and I was barely able
to confirm this April 14 when TA propagation was very poor --- SF 68 and K 0 at
0000: At 0058 IRS ID in English, and still no better at 0105 recheck when
should have switched azimuth from 310 to 325 degrees. Earlier in April they had
a good signal on 9580 causing havoc to its collidees so I assume reception will
eventually pick up on clear 9675. Meanwhile, Cuba was late bringing up the CRI
audio on 9580, just huge open carrier at 0101 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** THAILAND. Is R. Thailand using 15275 for NAm now straight thru from 0000 to
0330? I certainly can`t tell as it was inaudible at 0100 April 14, and
former(?) 12120 was as usual occupied by a big hi-speed RTTY signal (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 17895, at 2000 April 13, VG signal from VOA opening The African Beat.
Say, could they spare 5 minutes for news on the hour? I hear stuff is going on
in Africa and elsewhere worldwide. IBB keeps swapping transmitter sites around,
but momentwise, at 19-21 this is Greenville 250 kW at 94 degrees, and obviously
plenty kW backwards at 274 degrees close to usward (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
