Radio P?blica Polaca apaga sus micr?fonos para protestar por falta de fondos
http://www.adn.es/economia/20090706/NWS-0446-Publica-Polaca-Radio-microfonos-protestar.html
La Radio P?blica Polaca II -centrada en contenidos culturales y m?sica cl?sica-
apagar? sus micr?fonos por primera vez en setenta a?os de emisi?n, en protesta
por la falta de financiaci?n que sufre esta emisora y toda la vida cultural de
Polonia.
"Incluso en los peores tiempos del comunismo, la cultura y el arte polaco no
padec?an una situaci?n tan tr?gica", se lament? el compositor polaco Krzysztof
Penderecki, premio Pr?ncipe de Asturias de las Artes en 2001, en unas
declaraciones que hoy recoge el portal del diario "Dziennik".
Penderecki mostraba as? su apoyo a la protesta que llevar?n a cabo los
trabajadores de la Radio P?blica Polaca II ("Dw?jka", en polaco), que el
pr?ximo mi?rcoles se limitar?n a emitir canciones y un mensaje reivindicativo
para pedir una soluci?n a la acuciante situaci?n financiera que vive la emisora.
"La liquidaci?n de esta radio ser? un golpe enorme", seg?n Penderecki, para
quien la protesta es la ?nica v?a para llamar la atenci?n sobre la situaci?n.
La crisis financiera ha sido la causa del recorte dr?stico en el presupuesto de
"Dw?jka" para este a?o, lo que pone en peligro eventos como el Festival de
M?sica de la Radio Polaca.
El equipo de la emisora espera que con su protesta la opini?n p?blica tome
conciencia de la dejadez que vive la promoci?n de la cultura, una carencia que
algunos empleados intentan superar incluso trabajando gratis.

Radio hondure?a en clandestinidad
http://www.elnuevodiario.com.ni/nacionales/51711
Desde el 30 de junio, la Radio Progreso de Honduras transmite de manera
clandestina en el pa?s vecino del norte. El sacerdote Ismael Moreno, director
de la radioemisora, denunci? que el ?nico delito que cometieron fue informar a
la poblaci?n sobre el golpe de Estado, y demandar que se respete el derecho a
la libertad de expresi?n.
Es por eso que el Centro por la Justicia y el Derecho Internacional, Cejil,
inst? a las distintas organizaciones defensoras de los derechos humanos y a las
asociaciones period?sticas de la regi?n, a que se pronuncien por el cierre de
este medio de comunicaci?n.
?Se recibi? informaci?n de que el Ej?rcito proceder?a nuevamente a cerrar la
emisora de manera ilegal. Esta amenaza nos oblig? a abandonar las
instalaciones. Actualmente transmiten desde la clandestinidad. Ante el panorama
de represi?n que se vive en Honduras, los trabajadores de Radio Progreso corren
peligro inminente?, advirti? el sacerdote.
Agreg? que le reocupa especialmente los obst?culos que enfrenta Radio Progreso
para ejercer la libertad de expresi?n, y ?la consiguiente afectaci?n que sufre
el derecho de la poblaci?n en general a recibir informaci?n acerca de la grave
situaci?n que afecta el pa?s.?
El Cejil y el Equipo de Reflexi?n, Investigaci?n y Comunicaci?n Compa??a de
Jes?s, ERIC, solicitaron a la Comisi?n Interamericana de Derechos Humanos,
CIDH, la adopci?n de medidas cautelares para garantizar el derecho a la
libertad de expresi?n, y la integridad personal del personal de Radio Progreso.
Los hechos
La ma?ana del 28 de junio, 25 miembros del Ej?rcito hondure?o invadieron las
instalaciones de la emisora e indicaron a todos los funcionarios que deb?an
apagar los equipos de comunicaci?n y retirarse a sus casas. Cientos de personas
que escuchaban la radio se percataron de lo que ocurr?a y acudieron de
inmediato a la emisora para intentar impedir el cierre ilegal. Sin embargo, con
el fin de evitar un enfrentamiento, la direcci?n de la Radio y los trabajadores
acataron la ilegal orden militar. Durante todo el domingo la Radio no pudo
transmitir.
Irma Franco, miembro del Colegio de Periodistas de Nicaragua, CPN, y de la
Uni?n de Periodistas de Nicaragua, UPN, conden? estos actos de violencia que se
han perpetrado en contra de medios de comunicaci?n y de periodistas nacionales,
as? como contra corresponsales extranjeros.
?Es condenable la situaci?n que viven los reporteros en Honduras, han sacado
emisoras del aire, golpeados a periodistas, pero como gremio debemos unirnos
para evitar esas agresiones?, coment? Franco.

** CHINA. I have kept trolling for Firedrake each morning, but none heard on
the usual frequencies 8-19 MHz either July 5 or 6 around 1330. E Asian
propagation has been rather poor, and expect they are still running (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA [non]. CRI relay via CUBA, 9570, missing July 6 at 1253 check, so
missing too were the Chicuban spurs around 9560, 9580. I hope Andy Reid et al.
were enjoying R. Australia in this all too temporary respite, as 9570 and
company back on by 1339. Some RHC frequencies were absent too; see CUBA (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [and non]. RHC, 11760, July 6 at 0520 was relaying TeleSur satellite TV
audio, with live (or recorded earlier?) report on the chaos at Tegucicalpa
airport Toncont?n (TNT as the beacon ID we heard sesquidecades ago on x-band
went), where Pres. Zelaya`s plane had not been allowed to land. Quite dramatic,
with gunshots heard behind the correspondent`s narration, which she identified
as ``disparos del ex?rcito contra el pueblo desarmado``; 0538 ID as TeleSur,
http://www.telesurtv.net for more coverage.
RHC check the morning of July 6: several frequencies missing, power failure at
one site? Not heard: at 1302, 6000; at 1317, 13680, 13760 [where VOK English
was in the clear, Commies vs no Commies], and consequently no spurs on 13580 or
13880.
These were heard from RHC: at 1302, 5965; at 1311, 11760; at 1317, 13780; at
1319, 15360 JBA, much weaker than 15120. At 1324, 11800 echoing vs 11760.
At 1339 power back on with 6000, 13680, 13760 again on the air. See also CHINA
[non] for 9570.
As heard plugged earlier at 1311, at 1333 July 6, RHC replaced normal Despertar
con Cuba programming with last night`s press conference from El Salvador
featuring Constitutional Pres. Zelaya and his other-presidential escorts.
Unfortunately, the audio quality was so poor I soon gave up on trying to
understand it; apparently from a very low-quality internet feed (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GERMANY [non]. DW, 15410, 310 degrees from Rwanda, July 6 at 1321 with ID in
Hausa, DW chord facilitating easy recognition, fair and now clear of abolished
CVC Chile co-channel; but weak het from 15412, presumably V. of Tibet and/or
ChiCom jammer. Had not been able to hear DW 15410 since CVC quit June 30, due
to poor propagation (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. VOI, 9526-, July 6 at 1254 music with a het, but this time only
one and it`s external, not internal: presumably Poland via Germany in English
as scheduled on 9525 during the 1200 hour; and it had gone away at 1259 as VOI
was about to change from Indonesian to English (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** RUSSIA. VOR Chinese, 12000, July 6 at 1324 check, distorted, and unstable
carrier, going from music to talk. Wanted to be sure RHC was not back
underneath, and could not hear that (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

Warm greetings !
I have repaired the soundcard of my computer which was malfunctioning and I saw
that when transfering a .WAV file into a low bitrate 40.4 Kbit/s stereo MP3
file I get several distinct whistles in either the right or the left channel
producing a stereo-like effect and I must say that this is the most astonishing
aspect of my DX carreer since we purchased the PK Shielded Magnetic LW loop
back in December ! I even put DX files into my IPod, you know ? Aside from CD
quality musical bites, I have dozens of LW-MW-SW-FM DX airchecks from around
the world on my IPod, mostly musical ones !
Into the logs now:
Trans-Atlantic DX (like all of this are)
171 MOROCCO Medi Un, Nador JUL 6 - 0200-0430 - played Arabic music (mostly
Egyptian islamic vocals which are popular in Morocco too) done by a female
Arabic announcer until 0400 UTC (when switched to eclectic pops with newscast
every 15 minutes). Very good peaks with little in the way of fadings !
(Chiochiu-QC)
183 GERMANY Europe 1, Felsberg JUL 7 0210 - playing "Besoin de rien, envie de
toi" by Peter & Sloane after the Cookie Dingler's "Femme Lib?r?e" Alasacian
1984 reggae classic... Since a few days they seem to play more music.
(Chiochiu-QC)
216 FRANCE RMC Info, Romoules JUL 7 0328 - fair in French on dawn
enhancement, noted in passing. As Sylvain Naud has suggested, this one is doing
better when there is sunrise enhancement at the transmitter site ! (Chiochiu-QC)
5950 TAIWAN JUL 7 0228 - End of a Chinese pop tune, then EE talk with ID as
"Radio Taiwan International". Poor SINPO 25332. NEW ! (Chiochiu-QC)
7275 TUNISIA RTT, Sidi JUL 7 0420+ - with Arabic music program followed by
apparent news. Fair at tune-in, but very poor right now at 0500 UTC ! The only
shortwave broadcaster playing music around the late evening and early
morning... Sad ! Ecos del Torbes 4980 kHz used to play music until sign-off at
0400 UTC ! (Chiochiu-QC)
Additionnal comments:
While on chat with the YV DXers I pointed out to SEVERAL of them the awesome
www.amradioantennas.com and sugested them to try a DXpedition to Isla Margarita
(in the Nueva Esparta state) in order to receive TA LW DX... Medi Un on 171 kHz
would most likely be their best target ! Well...
There are some friends from school who receive this e-mail as well... They
might not forget that my 22nd birthday party is on July 16 or July 17,
depending on the avilability of everyone... I hope to receive the 153 kHz
DX-friendly antenna by then from Australia ! Is it an antenna that can be
connected or it should just be placed along the ferrite bar antenna of my
Sangean and/or Grundig (the only radios I have right now that are receiving
longwave) ?
This report is brought to you by Bogdan Alexandru Chiochiu, DXing using his
Sangean ACS 818-CST / PK's Shielded Magnetic longwave loop and his Grundig G5 /
random wire terminated into a broken Yagi combos in Pierrefonds (Montreal's
West Island), QC
May the good DX be with you !
Bogdan Chiochiu
Btw.: Is anyone else hearing Tunisia-7275 ? This has been lately some of my
most exciting shortwave DX, because the signal is fairly weak and the Arabic
music is half-decent even if it doesn't match the beuaty of Algerian ra? !
