Thanks for this information. Question: On 972 kHz (Tajikistan), not only VoA
but also the Voice of Russia is scheduled to broadcast in Pashto/Dari, Urdu,
and Hindi from 1200 to 1600 UTC.
Who is actually on this frequency at the overlapping time? Do greenbucks
win, or Kremlin friends? Thanks, Eike

A year or so I asked if anyone knew of a schedule of SW Boradcast stations
by freq. I have since lost that info.
So, does anyone know of a broadcast schedule by freq (that lists transmitter
info) on line? This would be for the SW Broadcast stations.
With the freq shifting going on on 40 meters I am lost!
Thanks

Fiji's military regime has forced the shut down of the Australian
Broadcasting Corporation's (ABC) radio transmitters in Fiji, affecting Radio
New Zealand International (RNZI).
ABC Radio Australia said it had been ordered to close its FM relay stations
in the capital, Suva, and in the tourist town of Nadi, AAP reported.
"Local sources have since confirmed Radio Australia is off the air in both
locations," the ABC said.
RNZI manager Linden Clark said its Dateline Pacific programme was affected
by the shut down.
Radio New Zealand International re-broadcasts programmes via the ABC.
Ms Clark said RNZI was still able to broadcast on its shortwave transmitter.
The clampdown comes a day after TV3 reporter Sia Aston, cameraman Matt Smith
and ABC correspondent Sean Dorney were deported from Fiji by officials
unhappy about international coverage of the political upheaval.
The military government, in power since a December 2006 coup, has gained
more strength in recent days following a Court of Appeal ruling that the
government was illegal under the 1997 constitution.
In reaction, the country's ailing president Ratu Josefa Iloilo dissolved the
constitution, sacked the judiciary and briefly removed Frank Bainimarama
from power before reinstating him as prime minister.
Bainimarama has since imposed tough reporting constraints on the media,
telling Radio New Zealand this morning that press freedom had been "causing
trouble" in Fiji.
Thumbing his nose at democracy, he said he did not want to hear any
opposition to changes he imposed.
Media freedom group Reporters Without Borders has called the restrictions on
media a "mortal blow" to press freedom.
"The military government is heading dangerously towards a Burmese-style
system in which the media are permanently subject to prior censorship and
other forms of obstruction," Reporters Without Borders said.
It was appealing to the European Union and United Nations to respond "to
this manifest desire to restrict the free flow of news and information by
speaking out and firmly condemning media censorship".

Subject: [HCDX] USA: 60 a?os de Radio Pac?fica. Un Refugio de la
Disidencia
Message-ID: <[email protected]>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
60 a?os de Radio Pac?fica: Un Refugio de la Disidencia
Por Amy Goodman
Radio Pac?fica, la red de medios independientes m?s antigua de Estados Unidos,
cumple 60 a?os esta semana, mientras los medios dominantes est?n sumergidos en
una profunda crisis. Cientos, y hasta miles de periodistas est?n siendo
despedidos. Peri?dicos respetables, algunos con m?s de cien a?os de historia,
est?n cerrando abruptamente. La tecnolog?a digital est? cambiando las reglas,
destruyendo industrias enteras y trastocando y poniendo patas para arriba las
tareas tradicionales de escritor, realizador cinematogr?fico, editor,
consumidor. Los medios comerciales est?n perdiendo p?blico y avisadores. La
gente est? explorando nuevos modelos de medios, entre ellos el periodismo sin
fines de lucro.
Radio Pac?fica fue fundada por Lew Hill, un pacifista que se rehus? a pelear en
la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Cuando sali? del centro de detenci?n despu?s de la
guerra, dijo que Estados Unidos necesitaba un medio que no fuera administrado
por las empresas que se enriquec?an con la guerra, sino que, dijo, necesitaba
un medio administrado por periodistas y artistas. En palabras del fallecido
George Gerbener, decano de la Facultad Annenberg de Comunicaci?n de la
Universidad de Pensilvania: un medio no administrado por ?empresas que no
tienen nada para decir y quieren vender todo, que son las que est?n criando a
nuestros hijos hoy en d?a?. KPFA, la primera radio de Pac?fica, sali? al aire
por primera vez en Berkeley, California, el 5 de abril de 1949. La radio FM
estaba en pa?ales en aquel momento, por lo que KPFA tuvo que crear y entregar
radios FM para que la gente escuchara la emisora. Radio Pac?fica intent? algo
que nadie pens? que
funcionar?a: construir una red en base al apoyo financiero voluntario de
oyentes individuales, un modelo que luego fue adoptado por la Radio P?blica
Nacional (NPR, por sus siglas en ingl?s) y la televisi?n p?blica.
La red Pac?fica creci? hasta tener cinco emisoras: KPFA en Berkeley, KPFK en
Los ?ngeles, WBAI en Nueva York, WPFW en Washington y KPFT en Houston.
En 1970, en sus primeros meses de funcionamiento, KPFT se convirti? en la ?nica
emisora de radio en Estados Unidos cuyo trasmisor sufri? un atentado con bomba.
El explosivo fue colocado por el Ku Klux Klan. El ?Gran Mago? del KKK, su
m?ximo l?der, describi? el ataque como su acto de mayor orgullo. Creo que fue
porque entendi? lo peligrosa que era Radio Pac?fica, ya que permit?a que la
gente hablara por s? misma. Cuando escuchas a alguien hablar desde su priopia
experiencia ?un ni?o palestino, una madre israel?, un abuelo de Afganist?n ?eso
rompe los estereotipos que alimentan a los grupos de odio que dividen a la
sociedad. Los medios pueden construir puentes entre comunidades, en lugar de
pregonar su bombardeo .
Pac?fica es un refugio para quienes piensan diferente. En la d?cada del 50,
cuando el legendario cantante y l?der afroestadounidense Paul Robeson fue
incluido en la ?lista blanca? durante la caza de brujas del Senador Joseph
McCarthy, y se le prohibi? el acceso a pr?cticamente todos los espacios
p?blicos en Estados Unidos, a excepci?n de unas pocas iglesias negras, sab?a
que pod?a ir a KPFA y ser escuchado. El gran escritor James Baldwin debati? con
Malcolm X acerca de la eficacia de las sentadas no violentas de desobediencia
civil en el Sur. El debate fue transmitido a trav?s de WBAI. Incursion? por
primera vez en el periodismo radial en la sala de prensa de WBAI. Hoy, la
tradici?n de Pac?fica se necesita m?s que nunca.
En esta era digital de alta tecnolog?a, con la televisi?n de alta definici?n y
la radio digital, todo lo que obtenemos es m?s est?tica, ruido: ese velo de
distorsiones, mentiras, falsedades y verdades a medias que oscurecen la
realidad. Lo que los medios deber?an darnos es est?tica en otro sentido: una
est?tica cr?tica, cuestionadora, que produzca una interferencia no deseada
sobre el discurso dominante. Necesitamos medios que cubran lo que sucede en el
nivel del poder, no que encubran al poder. Necesitamos medios que sean el
cuarto poder, y no parte del poder del Estado. Necesitamos medios que cubran a
los movimientos que crean la est?tica y hacen historia.
Con m?s canales que nunca, la falta de diversidad de opini?n es estremecedora.
La libertad de prensa est? consagrada en la Constituci?n, sin embargo nuestros
medios act?an en gran medida como meg?fono de quienes est?n en el poder.
Mientras enfrentamos crisis sin precedentes ?desde el calentamiento global
hasta las guerras mundiales y la crisis econ?mica mundial? tambi?n hay una
oportunidad de cambio sin precedentes.
?D?nde se reunir?n los pensadores innovadores, los activistas de base, los
l?deres de la lucha por los derechos humanos y los ciudadanos comunes y
corrientes para discutir soluciones a los problemas m?s urgentes de la
actualidad?
Por ejemplo, a pesar de que hay muchas personas en este pa?s ?en el movimiento
pacifista al igual que en las fuerzas armadas? que se oponen a enviar m?s
soldados a Afganist?n, como lo hicieron en Irak, no vemos ni escuchamos
pr?cticamente ninguna de estas voces disidentes en los medios estadounidenses.
A pesar de que algunas encuestas indican que una mayor?a de estadounidenses
apoya el sistema de salud de pagador ?nico, estas voces son b?sicamente
ignoradas o menospreciadas en los peri?dicos y los programas de las grandes
cadenas de noticias.
En mi recorrida por el pa?s, me preguntaron el otro d?a qu? pensaba sobre los
medios dominantes. Dije que pensaba que eran una buena idea. En el 60
aniversario de la Red Radio Pac?fica, deber?amos celebrar la tradici?n de la
disidencia y el poder de las voces diferentes a la hora de resolver conflictos
en forma pac?fica.
