ESAT accuses China of complicity in jamming signals
http://www.abugidainfo.com/?p=18210
esat1The Ethiopian Satellite Television (ESAT), which resumed transmissions to
Ethiopia
last week after nearly two months of interruption, has urged the government of
the People?s
Republic of China to desist from providing technology, training and technical
assistance to
the regime in Ethiopia to enable it to jam shortwave radio and satellite
transmissions to
Ethiopia.
The Meles regime is currently blocking independent news websites and jamming
the Amharic
services of the Voice of America, Deutsche Welle, and the Ethiopian Satellite
Television,
among others, with the help of technology and technical assistance provided by
the Chinese
government.
Since its launch in April 2010, ESAT has faced intense and persistent signal
interference that
has disrupted its transmissions six times in its short span of life. ESAT?s
management has
investigated the matter thoroughly and confirmed from reliable sources inside
Ethiopia that
the government of China has been actively working with the Meles regime to jam
ESAT?s
transmissions.
Mr. Kilfe Mulat, the exiled President of the Ethiopian Free Press Journalists
Association, has
said that China?s complicity in stifling freedom of expression and undermining
efforts to
spread democratic values in Ethiopia is shameful and sets a bad precedence in
the whole of
Africa. "Ethiopia is not only the seat of the AU but also a historic symbol of
freedom in Africa
as the only African nation that has never been colonized. Aiding tyrants to
stifle their people
and block the free flow of information is tantamount to committing unwarranted
crimes
against the freedom-loving people of Africa that are making sacrifices to
exercise their
inalienable rights and free themselves from corrupt tyrants that are hampering
progress in
the continent."
The President of EFPJA also urged organizations and nations promoting freedom
and
democracy to provide resources and support to the Ethiopian Satellite
Television to
overcome the China-backed jamming challenge that has seriously threatened the
survival of
ESAT, a grassroots media project totally funded by the Ethiopian Diaspora.
Mr. Mulat further noted that the government of China must realize the fact that
collaborating
with African tyrants and exporting tools of repressions to countries like
Ethiopia is an
inexcusable act that will further tarnish the image of China as a sponsor of
tyranny and
oppression.
ESAT, which was set up by a group of Ethiopian exiled journalists and
pro-democracy
activists to fend off Prime Minister Meles Zenawi?s war every avenue of
freedom, has been
facing attacks and interference by the Meles regime.
"In addition to building Internet firewalls for the regime, China has emerged
as one of the
most formidable enemies of freedom in Ethiopia and the entire continent of
Africa. China
should realize the fact that the Meles regime is violating its own constitution
that guarantees
freedom of expression to citizens. By assisting the Meles regime in jamming
ESAT and other
reputable broadcasters illegally, China can only earn the condemnation of
freedom-loving
Ethiopians who do not wish to see their liberty trampled upon by internal and
external
powers," ESAT?s management said.
Article 29 of the current Ethiopian constitution stipulates: "Everyone has the
right to freedom
of expression without any interference. This right shall include freedom to
seek, receive and
impart information and ideas of all kinds, regardless of frontiers, either
orally, in writing or in
print, in the form of art, or through any media of his choice." But the Meles
regime is widely
known for violating basic rights with impunity.
ESAT has been forced to change satellite service providers at least four times
in the last one
year. It started broadcasting its programs to Ethiopia on Arabsat but was
forced off air due to
intense signal interference and diplomatic pressure. Similarly, an effort to
continue
broadcasting on Thaicon was interrupted after a few months, once again, due to
intense
diplomatic pressure. But ESAT?s tenacious management team continued
transmissions on
Intelsat, an American satellite company. While a diplomatic effort to disrupt
ESAT
transmissions failed, the Meles regime managed to jam ESAT?s signals using the
jamming
equipment provided by the Chinese government.
ESAT, the first independent TV station viewed by millions of Ethiopians, has
reiterated its
commitment to making every effort to continue its transmissions and find ways
of overcoming
the Sino-Ethiopia jamming and censorship project.
ESAT, which has studios in Amsterdam, Washington DC and London, is currently
transmitting 24/7 on ABS1 Satellite, C-Band at 75 East Downlink: 3.480 GHz
Vertical (3480),
Symbol: 1.852 Msps (1852), FEC 2/3. It has plans to transmit on a Ku-Band and
shortwave
radio with a view to reaching wider audience in Ethiopia. ESAT also webcasts
its
transmissions on www.ethsat.com.Standard rig : ICOM R75 / 2x16 V / m@h40 heads

Shortwave Conference in Dallas
http://www.radioworld.com/article/shortwave-conference-in-dallas/23708
The National Association of Shortwave Broadcasters will team with Dallas-based
transmitter
maker Continental Electronics to host the first U.S. meeting of a
High-Frequency
Coordination Conference/Arab States Broadcasting Union conference, Sept. 12-16,
in
Dallas.
Officially the B11 HFCC/ASBU conference, the gathering of shortwave broadcast
professionals is expected to pull approximately 100 delegates from 40
countries. The NASB
is encouraging shortwave professionals in the U.S. to attend to make a good
showing. These
twice-yearly conferences rotate among various countries.
According to a release: "This will be an excellent opportunity ... to meet with
the world?s
shortwave broadcasters, and to discuss some of the new platforms of delivery
for
international broadcasting, such as the Internet, satellites, podcasts, etc.
Topics dealing with
programming, audience research and others are also being planned for the
agenda."
A tour of the Continental Electronics? factory along with local tourist
destinations such as the
nearby Ft. Worth Stockyards will be included.

Scientists predict sun may `hibernate?
from The SWLing Post by Thomas
http://swling.com/blog/2011/06/sunspots-hibernate/
Photo Source: NASA
News sources are publishing information regarding new scientific research which
puts our
sunspot cycle into question. How does this affect the average shortwave
listener? Periods of
high sunspot numbers generally produce excellent DX conditions. In other words,
with
modest equipment, listeners can hear even weak signals around the world.
Amateur radio
operators find that they can communicate around the world with very low power.
Our current cycle (cycle 24) has been relatively uneventful compared to the
past-but the
prediction for Cycle 25 is scary. Indeed, it may not even happen on schedule.
The news
sources below explain in detail.
Spaceref.com:
A missing jet stream, fading spots, and slower activity near the poles say
that our Sun is
heading for a rest period even as it is acting up for the first time in years,
according to
scientists at the National Solar Observatory (NSO) and the Air Force Research
Laboratory
(AFRL).
As the current sunspot cycle, Cycle 24, begins to ramp up toward maximum,
independent
studies of the solar interior, visible surface, and the corona indicate that
the next 11-year
solar sunspot cycle, Cycle 25, will be greatly reduced or may not happen at all.
From Yahoo:
For years, scientists have been predicting the Sun would by around 2012
move into solar
maximum, a period of intense flares and sunspot activity, but lately a curious
calm has
suggested quite the opposite.
According to three studies released in the United States on Tuesday,
experts believe the
familiar sunspot cycle may be shutting down and heading toward a pattern of
inactivity
unseen since the 17th century.
Science Mag:
Things may be about to get very dull on the sun. Three different
measurements of solar
activity, reported by scientists at a press conference today, suggest that the
next 11-year-
long solar cycle will be far quieter than the current one. In fact, it may not
happen at all:
Sunspots, the enormous magnetic storms that erupt on the sun?s surface as the
cycle builds,
might disappear entirely for the first time in approximately 400 yearsStandard

The broadcast can be heard in the South Atlantic on Monday 21 June 2010 at
2130-2200 UT on the following short-wave frequencies:
RMP 5950 kHz (49 metre band)
