The Lost Voices of Tiananmen
James Miles has a unique insight into the way China works based on over 20
years' experience as a correspondent there.
He was the BBC's China correspondent in 1989 when he was eye-witness to the
events leading up to the Tiananmen Square protests Miles describes what it was
like to witness such a moment in history and why the crackdown was so brutal.
He considers how the Tiananmen Square massacre shaped the China we see now.
But most of all, how important the protests were for China. Were they an
aberration which has been crushed forever? Or could those cries for democracy
re-emerge as China grapples with the effects of the global economic crisis.
First broadcast on Monday 27 May 2009.

** ANGUILA [and non]. Re Caribbean Beacon local ID on SW 11775:
George McClintock tells me the cause was RF from the MW 1610 transmitter
getting into the SW audio processor. This has happened before. The reason it
stopped at 1600 UT (1601 as Brandon Jordan observed May 26) is that the SW and
MW become parallel at that time (noon AST), after the local programming on MW
only. So the 1610 audio could still be mixing in there, except it`s then the
same as on SW anyway. It was not yet known whether the problem had been fixed.
It could happen again between 1000 and 1600, which are the hours WRTH says 1610
splits away for local programming.
So I monitored 11775 again the next morning, May 27. At 1320 PMS was mixed
with gospel rock and the ChiCom jamming producing a SAH. After China quit at
1330, it was quite clear that the Anguilla audio mix of two programs into one
transmitter is still happening, and no SAH. Shortly after 1330, the same local
YL announcer as yesterday was heard in break between programs while the
University Network was playing revival music. 1333, Caribbean Beacon started OM
preacher referencing Matthew XIV, vs PMS preaching about something else.
At 1356 the LA announcer claimed ``You are watching the University Network``
--- I beg to differ. I can`t possibly be watching it since I am listening to a
shortwave radio! Does T.U.N. ever acknowledge its SW broadcasts any more? Again
running slightly late, at 1401 ``Caribbean Beacon Radio`` ID by live YL,
``Music to Live By`` about to start, and again previewing programs upcoming at
10:10, 10:15 and 10:30. If anything, the C.B. audio is now louder than PMS.
1413 another Caribbean Beacon Radio ID, more music mixed with Melissa.
Meanwhile I was checking WWCR 13845 for // PMS programming. At 1352 she was
inbooming tnx to sporadic E, but the MUF was somewhere between that and 15825
where WWCR was still weak. 13845 was strong enough to audiblize the crosstalk
from WWCR 7490 programming (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. E Asian reception not so good the morning of May 27, but at 1326
heard weak Firedrake on 15420, likely against V. of Tibet`s variable frequency
via Tajikistan. Aoki, however, puts that on 15425 and says it varies
15422-15427, but this was exactly on 15420, despite BBC Seychelles scheduled in
English, unheard. VOT runs 1300-1400, but at 1347 recheck neither it nor FD
heard anywhere in this area. The only other FD found was 13970, fair at 1349,
nothing on 14420 et al. (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** JAPAN [and non]. 11705, Sackville carrier already on at 1356 May 27, atop
NHK direct at end of Indonesian service with music; 1359:30 cut on fragment of
RCI IS and ID, into a few sex of NHK IS, 1400 timesignal perfectly out of sync
with Yamata direct, and opening English relay (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** KOREA NORTH. V. of Korear, 11710: one is never sure just when the `hour`
transmission will end, but on May 27 I just caught ``Goodbye, this is
P`yongyang`` until 1356 but carrier stayed on. I did listen a bit earlier in
the hour, but their crap gets old quick. At one point they were saying war
could break out at any minute again, tnx to the S Koreans` supporting US
initiatives against NK`s nuclear, missile tests; except their wording was not
quite so polite (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** RUSSIA. 13855 with on-and-off Russian tone tests, May 27 at 1352. Per Aoki,
that`s a Moscow site prior to Turkish service at 1400. Only poor signal and by
1403 recheck too much splash from WWCR 13845 to make out 13855 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###
