ITU Award goes to Prime Minister of Malaysia Dato? Tun Abdul Razak,
China Mobile CEO Wang Jianzhou and Internet pioneer Robert Kahn
World Telecommunication and Information Society Award will be presented at
World Expo 2010 in Shanghai, China on 17 May
Geneva, 23 April 2010 - ITU marks the 145th anniversary of its establishment on
17 May this year by recognizing three eminent personalities who have
contributed to the ongoing digital revolution. Malaysian Premier Dato? Sri Mohd
Najib bin Tun Abdul Razak; Chairman and CEO of China Mobile Mr Wang Jianzhou;
and Mr Robert Kahn, one of the early pioneers of the Internet, were awarded the
2010 ITU World Telecommunication and Information Society Award in recognition
of their dedication to promoting ICTs as a means of providing a better life for
humanity.
The Awards were announced on the closing day of the annual session of ITU?s
Council.
Making the announcement, ITU Secretary-General Hamadoun Tour? welcomed the
three eminent laureates who have contributed to connecting the world through
the Internet and the mobile phone and in making cyberspace a safer place for
users everywhere. ?ICTs have been instrumental in paving the way for a better
future, increasingly dictating lifestyles and behaviour patterns, contributing
to the growth of trade and commerce, improving governance and municipal
services, and revolutionizing entertainment through the development of rapid
communications,? Dr Tour? said. ?On the 145th anniversary of ITU, it is my
pleasure to honour those who have made this possible through their foresight
and commitment to harness the potential of ICTs to make the world a better
place.?
World Telecommunication and Information Society Day (WTISD) marks the
establishment of ITU on 17 May, 1865. It brings attention to the potential of
information and communication technologies (ICT) in meeting the development and
economic aspirations of societies and on the importance of the Internet as a
global resource. This year?s theme for WTISD, ?Better City, Better Life with
ICT?, is in keeping with the overarching theme ? Better City, Better Life ? of
the World Expo 2010 in Shanghai, China where the global ceremony commemorating
the occasion will be held on 17 May.
ITU World Telecommunication and Information Society Awards
Prime Minister of Malaysia Dato? Sri Mohd Najib bin Tun Abdul Razak has made
connectivity one of his priorities. As part of the New Economic Model for
Malaysia, he has placed a high priority on strengthening ICT infrastructure.
His administration has supported the work of ITU in strengthening global
cybersecurity through the IMPACT Centre in Cyberjaya near Kuala Lumpur.
Mr Wang Jianzhou is Executive Director, Chairman and CEO of China Mobile, which
operates the world?s largest mobile network with over 500 million subscribers.
The China Mobile network covers all major cities in China as well as outlying
and remote rural areas.
Mr Robert Kahn, President and CEO of the Corporation for National Research
Initiatives (CNRI), played a key pioneering role in the development of the
Internet. He laid the foundations of the TCP/IP protocol architecture, which is
a standard operating feature of the Internet. CNRI is a non-profit organization
that focuses on the strategic development of network-based information
technologies and Kahn has continued to nurture the evolution of the Internet,
steering the development of new standards.

Bolivia, 6134.798, Radio Santa Cruz, 1010-1030 At tune
in, noted local type music with a female
talking between tunes. At 1013 canned promos and ID.
This is followed with a male and female
in a conversation. Signal was fair. (Chuck Bolland,
April 26, 2010)
Bolivia, 6155.328, Radio Fides, 1018-1030, With a very
threshold signal, noted a male in Spanish
comments. There's a het from a second station on 6155
KHz making the copy difficult. (Chuck

** ALGERIA [non]. 7295, RTA via Issoudun, FRANCE, April 26 at 0522, Arabic
pontifications, good strength accompanied by squeal on the transmitter but no
echoing this time.
Note, on May 2 until Sept 5, there will be time adjustments in these relays.
7295 will be on at 04-06 instead of 05-07, but it`s not a matter of just going
one hour earlier across the board. This is apparently based on propagation
predixions, following the sun, as there is no DST in Algeria and DST is already
underway in France (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ANTARCTICA. LRA36, only detectable on 15476 as a carrier, Monday April 26 at
1314. Need to confirm whether it`s also active on Tuesday, as it definitely was
on Thursday, instead of only M/W/F (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake all over the place April 26, with nothing audible
co-channel, u.o.s.:
8400, good at 1246
10300, good at 1246
10420, good at 1246
11100, good at 1246
12970, good at 1249
13320, good at 1249
13500, good at 1249
13970, good at 1249
15545, poor at 1318, // 16100. Nothing to jam in the April 26 edition of Aoki,
but V. of Tibet likely upshifted from 15540, via Tajikistan at 13-14 in Tibetan
and Chinese.
16100, fair at 1254, nothing higher found yet up to 19 MHz
17300, poor at 1326
15795, probably CNR1, Chinese language QRM to something singing, April 26 at
1253; at 1259 jamming off leaving S Asian music, and at next check 1315 that is
gone too. The explanation from Aoki: All India Radio`s *Chinese service at
1145-1315, 500 kW, 35 degrees from Bangaluru. Maybe it was just an hourtop
pause for monitoring check?
The ChiCom are afraid even to let India speak to the oppressed,
information-deprived Chinese people on SW --- and so many of them don`t even
know it. As a result, does AIR get any listener response?
CNR1 jamming on // 15330, 15285, 15265, April 26 at 1323. First noticed on
unusual 15330 mixing with something, i.e. BBC Uzbek via Thailand during this
semihour only per Aoki; and for good measure, the DentroCuban Jamming Command
adds some residual pulses on this frequency abandoned by Radio Mart? a month
ago; and in any event did not start until 1400 in B-09 --- but close enough for
Cuban government work!
Does the autocratic Uzbekistan government approve of China jamming broadcasts
in its own language, or even encourage this?
15285 and 15265 are longtime haunts of CNR1 jamming, vs Chinese from BBC via
Singapore, and RTI respectively. Reception here varies widely depending on the
nightside MUF, which this date exceeded 17 MHz (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. 9526-, while VOI replaced English at 13 by rock music on Sunday,
it was back to normal on Monday April 26, 1302 news including new FOI law in
Indonesia. Also noted earlier at 1244 with VOI ID and jingle in Japanese, good
with some hum (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KUWAIT. 15540, R. Kuwait again in English April 25 at 2051 with news
headlines delivered by YL far too swiftly for comprehension, coupled with her
accent. She obviously has no clue of the need for clarity in shortwave
broadcasting. ESL people seem to delight in speaking as rapidly as possible as
some kind of faux-proof of their fluency. 2053 to a postlude by Tom Jones,
whose English is quite clear despite being Welsh; it was something reminiscent
of Delilah in his inimitable style (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MADAGASCAR [non]. 15630, R. Mada International via Pridnestrovye, presumably
the trace of QRM underneath V. of Greece, Sunday April 25 at 1544 and producing
a SAH. That`s about the best it can do since accepting this collision,
depriving the world at large, if allegedly not the boresight Madagascans, of
Mada audibility (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NETHERLANDS ANTILLES. 6250, April 26 at 0517 in Spanish vs ute QRM, // 6080
R. Jap?n relay, leaping over RNW Dutch on 6165. Theoretically there could be a
matching leapfrog on 5995, 85 kHz lower than 6080 at 5995, with Dutch audio,
but could not confirm that, altho at 0519 there was a fast SAH between two weak
signals amid ACI [adjacent channel interference, which I will not explain every
time I use it]. Nothing else is scheduled at this hour, unless Mali`s carrier
was already on before *0600. In any event, 6250 was not Equatorial Guinea
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PHILIPPINES [and non]. 9920, April 26 at 1240, ``Gott sei die Ehre`` hymn in
unknown language, then talk in Thai/Lao, fair signal. Must be YFR relay, right?
Wrong! While that`s YFR`s main theme, they do not have a monopoly on it.
Uplooked later in Aoki, at this hour 9920 is occupied by FEBC Manila, in Koho,
Sun-Mon-Tue-Wed at 1230-1300, 100 kW, 280 degrees from Bocaue. EiBi`s language
reference at http://www.eibispace.de/dx/README.TXT says it`s spoken by 100
kilopeople in Vietnam, a.k.a. Kohor --- but from the sound of it, closely
related to Lao, rather than Vietnamese.
The gospel huxters have got 9920 all tied up, used only by: 10-11 FR via Taiwan
in Chinese; 11-13 FEBC in SE Asian languages we have never heard of in the
relentless drive to deprive as many ethnic groups as possible of their original
religions; 13-14 KNLS Chinese; 14-15 KTWR Vietnamese; 15-18 KNLS Chinese (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ROMANIA. 15435, April 26 at 1320, Chinese talk and then soprano with piano,
peaks S9+5. RRI Chinese service, 1300-1327, 300 kW, 67 degrees from Tiganeshti.
No jamming audible, as the ChiCom apparently do not feel the need to block the
Romanian apostates from Communism (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SOUTH AFRICA. 7285, April 26 at 0523 studio announcer conversing with
another YL on phone, maybe a child, in corrupted Dutch a.k.a. Afrikaans, ergo
R. Sonder Grense as scheduled 05-08, 100 kW, 275 degrees from Meyerton, in an
unique SW language, clear between Arabs on 7275 and 7295.
As I tune around the band, I realize that there is something strange but
welcome about amateur behaviour: hardly any SSB to be heard above 7200, altho
certainly not off-limits to Americans; they voluntarily stay below 7200. That`s
normally the case at nightmiddle, but not around sunrise when there is plenty
of SSB QRM to Asian broadcasters (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 15420-CUSB, special Area 51 transmission Sunday April 25 with WORLD
OF RADIO #1509 at 1530: good reception at 1542 check, no BBCWS Seychelles
co-channel audible this time. Will this catch on as a regular transmission in
early open time on this transmitter?
Also, Pirate Week and International Radio Report were moved two hours later
than before, and 9330-CUSB added, so now IRR conflicts with WOR 9980 at 2330
Sundays, confirmed in quick check April 25 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO inbooming this week on new WWCR-4 times as propagation
upheld: Sunday April 25 at 2330 on 9980; UT Monday April 26 at 0330 on 5890
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 15550-USB, WJHR on air with its one and only preacher, April 25 at
1643. Still/again there at 2053 check, a pennywhistle compared to neighboring
Kuwait 15540 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [non]. 17580, April 26 at 1327, S Asian song by solo OM, F-G signal;
must have been unrecognizably Christian, as at 1330 segu? to ``Know My Redeemer
Liveth`` theme and YL announcement. Per Aoki this is YFR in Bengali, 500 kW, 90
degrees from Wertachtal, GERMANY at 13-15 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** VENEZUELA [non]. Al?, Presidente, on the air this Sunday as declarations of
El Hugazo audible at quick check April 25 at 1750, best on 13680, also 13750,
12010, 17750 via CUBA. So what`s become of RNV`s own SW site supposed to be on
air by end of last year from Calabozo?? Not a word since last October or so
about progress in constructing it (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###
