US Christian Broadcaster Still Believes in Shortwave
http://www.voanews.com/english/news/religion/US-Christian-Broadcaster-Examines-the-
Future-of-Shortwave-Radio-128872053.html
Since the dawn of wireless communications, international broadcasters,
including the Voice
of America, have used shortwave radio to communicate with the world. While many
broadcasters now are switching to other technology to get their broadcasts out,
privately
funded religious organizations in the United States still are devoted to
shortwave.
Everything is set for a broadcast to the world at Christian radio station KNLS
. It goes out in
English, Chinese and Russian.
With the rise of the Internet, some news broadcasters, including the Voice of
America, are
moving away from shortwave radio.
But some religious broadcasters in America still believe in the medium.
"Our view is that there is a great future for shortwave," says Charles Caudil,
president of
World Christian Broadcasting, which runs KNLS. He says its long-range signal is
ideal for
reaching rural areas in the developing world.
"Very few people there have the Internet available to them, or satellites. But
they do have
shortwave receivers. There are about three billion shortwave receivers in the
world," he said.
World Christian Broadcasting was founded three decades ago by former Army
Lieutenant
Maurice Hall. He helped to set up a shortwave facility for President Franklin
D. Roosevelt's
Yalta summit with Churchill and Stalin.
It is now one of the biggest Christian shortwave broadcasters in America. From
its studio
outside Nashville, Tennessee, it mixes cultural programming with the Christian
gospel.
And it seems to work. Fan mail arrives, and Bibles are sent to those who want
them.
The outlet is building a relay station in Madagascar, which will open a door
the Muslim world.
Egyptian-born Tony Tadros of the new Arabic service and his colleagues at World
Christian
Broadcasting say they respect Islam. But they argue that Arabs are now ready
to embrace
religious tolerance.
"Most people in the Middle East, they have misconceptions about Christianity,"
Tadros said.
"They think that the Bible is corrupt and they have a lot of misconceptions
that they just got
through the years."
Convincing them otherwise might not be easy. Many Muslim countries ban
Christian
proselytizing. And some converts have been arrested or faced death threats.
Abdullah Antepli, the Muslim chaplain at Duke University in Durham, North
Carolina, says
authorities in those countries consider those leaving the faith a threat to
Islam.
"Not only a threat but an attack, also a violation, as they understand [it],"
he said.
This American imam condemns that view. He says it does not live up to Islam's
own ideals.
Spreading the faith is both a Christian and Islamic tenet. And these days,
technology makes
that possible on many platforms - television, the Internet and even mobile
phones. But World
Christian Broadcasting still has faith in shortwave radio.

Don?t Stare Directly at the Sun
Nov 4

That solar activity can have an effect on radio communications is well known.
Sunspots, solar
flares, coronal mass ejections and other disturbances 93 million miles away at
the center of
the solar system can cause problems for satellites circling earth as well as
for shortwave and
other HF radio broadcasts.
When the energy of a solar flare reaches the Earth, it can temporarily increase
the density of
the ionosphere, a phenomenon known as Sudden Ionospheric Disturbance or the
Mo"gel-
Dellinger Effect. That in turn causes HF radio waves to be more completely
absorbed by the
ionosphere, creating short fade outs or even complete blackouts for shortwave
broadcasts
that can last for minutes or even hours.
Which is all an excuse to post this picture from NASA?s Solar Dynamics
Observatory (SDO)
at Goddard Space Flight Center.
NASA's SDO Captures an X-class Flare
The bright light at the upper left is an X 1.9 Class solar flare, numbered
AR1339, emitted
from the Sun yesterday (3:27 p.m. EDT on Nov. 3, 2011). According to NASA,
disruptions to
some radio communications were noted on Earth about 45 minutes later. The SDO
plans to
continue to watch this region of the Sun for similar activity over the next 10
days.Standard rig

Subject: [HCDX] U.S. International Broadcasting Aims for Sweeping
Changes

U.S. International Broadcasting Aims for Sweeping Changes
by Paul McLane
on 11.02.2011
http://www.radioworld.com/article/us-international-broadcasting-aims-for-sweeping-
changes/24725
U.S. international broadcasting may soon look very different, at least to
anyone familiar with
its structure and distribution methods.
Either planned, requested or being considered by the Broadcasting Board of
Governors are
some big changes indeed that are spelled out in a new report from BBG.
Those changes include a further "sharp drawdown" of U.S. shortwave capacity
outside of a
half-dozen key target countries; proposed repeal of the 1948 ban on "domestic
dissemination" of content to listeners and viewers in the United States; a
merger of Radio
Free Europe/Radio Liberty, Radio Free Asia and Middle East Broadcasting
Networks into one
corporate structure; de-federalizing some of the agency?s work; ending language
services in
countries that have more developed, independent media; and moving substantial
news and
production assets from Washington, nearer target nations. Smaller changes
include steps
like putting up FM antennas at U.S. embassies to further BBG?s reach.
A merger of the staff of the BBG and the International Broadcasting Bureau is
already in
progress.
The BBG says it "will not accept that our audiences and our impact will
shrink." It stated new
goals: to become "the world?s leading international news agency by 2016,
focused on the
agency?s mission and impact," and to grow weekly audience by 50 million people,
to 216
million.
To accomplish that, BBG laid out the plan to restructure itself and U.S.
international
broadcasting. It released a "framework" of a strategy to enhance the impact of
its services
(Voice of America, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, Alhurra TV and Radio Sawa,
Radio
Free Asia, and Radio and TV Marti'). Chairman Walter Isaacson said this report
"frames the
future direction of U.S. international broadcasting." It outlines steps to
overcome its structural
limitations, ongoing censorship and the "profound, ongoing changes in audience
media
consumption habits."
The board wants to integrate elements of U.S. international broadcasting into a
single
organization while preserving those familiar brands. The BBG, it said, is a
"complex amalgam
of broadcast entities created by Congress at different points in time over the
last 70 years in
response to specific foreign policy challenges," with a structure that is
inefficient and
complicates the job of managing resources and involving users. "We must break
down a
stove-piped bureaucracy of separate, semi-autonomous entities, and shape a
robust,
integrated, international media network with multiple brands targeted to
markets where they
still strongly resonate."
On the topic of how content is distributed, BBG promises "wholesale changes."
"We are currently configured largely as we were in the 1980s, with substantial
resources
devoted to shortwave broadcasting. Global media use now strongly favors TV, the
Internet
and FM radio as well as social media. Shortwave is vital in a half-dozen
countries. But
elsewhere we will sharply draw down our shortwave capacity to reallocate the
resources to
the new platforms our audiences are using." The role of shortwave has been a
contentious
one, with some politicians and veterans of the organization arguing that
shortwave should not
be scaled back further than it has been.
The board also will seek to repeal the ban on domestic dissemination in the
1948 Smith-
Mundt Act. "Adopted in the age of cross-border communication via radio, this
act did not
envision either the Internet or satellite broadcasting, which do not honor
national boundaries,"
the report states. "With all of the BBG?s 59 languages available via the Web,
the agency
cannot comply with this outdated statute." Also, the law obstructs BBG from
reaching
significant expatriate communities in the United States. The Obama
administration supports
legislation to repeal the Smith-Mundt ban as it applies to the BBG.
Also among its plans: to create a global news network out of its 59 different
language
services; develop automated translation to help users; expand delivery
technologies such as
satellite video for China, Central Asia and Southeast Asia; explore new ways to
counter
Internet blocking and other forms of censorship; launch a prototype TV channel
in Latin
America that features "crowd-sourced" content for young people; and place FM
antennas at
U.S. embassies in Africa as a low-cost additional radio outlet.
Some changes will require congressional approval; a BBG spokeswoman said the
organization would be working with Congress and the administration to implement
the plan.
Some steps are underway including integrating the IBB and BBG staffs and
building a shared
website content management system.
And the name Broadcasting Board of Governors itself will be eliminated. "The
new identity
will be corporate in nature. Our current brands will remain the public faces
for our audiences,
who have come to know and trust them." However, it emphasized, none of the
proposed
restructuring or new identity changes its mission, which is now stated as "To
inform, engage
and connect people around the world in support of freedom and democracy."

** ALBANIA [and non]. 7425, Nov 10 at 0004, R. Tirana in Albanian, not too much
QRM from China tonight, but at 0015 can tell there is another station under
with SAH, and there is also adjacent interference from 7430, which is VOR via
ARMENIA. It would still be better for Tirana on clear 7420. At 0238 checking
the 0230 English broadcast, it`s back on the air after a link failure the
previous night, but on 7425 again instead of 7420. Drita ?i?o says this was an
error and it is still supposed to be on 7420. Sufficient signal but
undermodulated. I still haven`t caught any opening schedule announcements since
B-11 began (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1590, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ANTARCTICA. 15476, Nov 10 at 1312-1322, never any carrier detected this
Thursday from LRA36 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. 4815, Nov 10 at 0013, sounds like Brazilian talk, ute QRM.
Presumably R. Dif. Londrina. Surprised to hear anything semi-intelligible from
LA, as all but strongest 60m signals are still mostly wiped out here by line
noise level (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. 15190, Nov 10 at 0006, R. Inconfid?ncia DJ greeting listeners as his
program begins, until midnight [0200 UT]. Fair signal (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake Nov 10, circa 1330:
17790, good with flutter at 1326; vs BBC Uzbek, CYPRUS. Tried BBC // 21590, and
no FD heard but Chinese talk, CCI
16980, very good at 1328
15970, good at 1328
14700, good at 1328
13920, very good with flutter at 1333
12600, good at 1333
11500, fair at 1334
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 11690, Nov 10 at 1335, RHC is back; altho on new sked, it had been
missing a few days, so we were wondering. Also on // 11750, 11760, 11840, but
no 12040 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GUAM. 15660, Nov 10 at 1330 good steady signal, only lite fading, with
English ID in progress, ``Agat, Guam, following program in Hmong on 15660``,
then opening rustic woodwind music like we used to hear from Hmong Lao Radio on
WHRI. This semihour is in Hmong on Thursdays and Fridays only, 285 degrees from
KSDA, per HFCC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. 3325, Nov 10 at 1305, Indonesian talk, news? S9+18, best heard in
a long time from RRI Palangkaraya, and now the SSOB surpassing remnant WWRB
3185, Korea 3480. Needs this much signal to have a chance against my hi local
noise level on 90m (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. 9525-, Nov 10 at 1337, VOI has remained on air for a third day in
a row during English hour, 1341 ID, music; 1400 English IDs and slogans, IADs,
1401 outro with three frequencies, the others never used, postal street and box
addresses, e-mail; 1402 into Indonesian. Before 1400 there was not only the
Chinese radio war adjacent QRM from 9530, but a lite audible het on 9525, I
don`t know from what (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KOREA NORTH [and non]. 2850, Nov 10 at 1307, S9+15 KCBS with emphatic Korean
talk; 4450 also had Korean talk atop jamming (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** RUSSIA [and non]. 6135, Nov 10 at 0007, VOR Spanish via St. Petersburg, weak
800 kW signal about the same as 6134.8v R. Santa Cruz, BOLIVIA, producing
wavering het. Also with bonker QRM on low side (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF
RADIO 1590, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TAIWAN [non]. 6875, Nov 10 at 0619 check, yep, RTI via WYFR is still in
wrong language, German. We are counting the days until they fix this or their
schedule (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TURKEY. 12035, Nov 10 at 1334, it`s hard to believe V. of Turkey English to
Europe is here, but I guess that`s the source of the JBA carrier (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 7490, Nov 10 at 0015, WBCQ with `Allan Weiner Worldwide`, must be
filling time in addition to its live 0100 UT Saturday airing (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 5085, Nov 10 at 0335, WTWW-2 is on with open carrier, as George
McClintock phoned to check reception: at least S9+20, he says with 30 kW, and
up to 60 kW when modulation of PPP/SFAW // 5755 resumes as test. Last
Saturday`s inaugural live broadcast had to be scrubbed because the ARRL server
was down and publicity could not be sent to its mailing list; and other
problems.
If all goes well, that will happen this Saturday, Ted Randall playing oldies
and taking phone calls, Nov 12 at 22-24 UT on 9990, 00-04 UT Sunday Nov 13 on
5085. Depending on QRM, that frequency might be adjusted upward towards 5090 or
5095, which has been cleared for use. WTWW 5085 was much stronger than neighbor
WWRB 5051 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1590, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1590: First airings should be Nov 11:
Thu 2200 on WTWW 9479
Thu 2200 on WRMI 9955
Thu 2230 on WBCQ 7490 [how is interference in your area?]
Fri 0430 on WWRB 3195, 5051
Fri 0600 on WRMI 9955
Fri 1530 on WRMI 9955
Sat 0900 on WRMI 9955
Sat 1600 on WRMI 9955
Sat 1830 on WRMI 9955
Sun 0500 on WTWW 5755
Sun 0900 on WRMI 9955
Sun 1630 on WRMI 9955
Sun 1830 on WRMI 9955
Mon 0400 on WBCQ 5110v-CUSB Area 51
Also on SiriusXM Channel 120:
Sat & Sun 1830, Sun 0930 UT
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** VATICAN [and non]. 6075, Nov 10 at 0515, English discussion of medical
ethix, stem cells, with someone from Catholic University of America --- I`ll
bet it`s Vatican Radio on new frequency; atop some weak co-channel, most likely
R. Rossii, Pet/Kam already starting to propagate into the Arctic winter night
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Subject: [HCDX] New external service fromn Libya
Dear DX-friends,
I ?listened to Libya this afternoon( Oct 24) at 1610-1735 UTC on
11600.00 kHz which had a broadcast in French with SINPO 35433 - 45443
and S up to 9+30 dB, but a very muffled voice audio. Their audio of
music was perfect: Vienna waltzes and light instrumental music which was
often played! They had frequent, new ID's: " Radio Libye, Tripoli" and
"Ici Radio T?l?vision Libye, Tripoli". This obviously has replaced the
former Gaddafi names "Libyan Jamahariyah Broadcasting Corporation" and
the external service "Voice of Africa". Mostly talks on the same time
schedule as former Voice of Africa in French about the revolution and
future democracy in Libya, about the obduction of the corpse of Muammar
Gaddafi, the declaration of military victory of Libya in Benghazi and
the democratic election yesterday in Tunisia and about developments in
Syria. All was very different content to what was heard on the Voice of
Africa! Slight QRM from *1700 from CRI, Baoji in Swahili, then 54443.
Best 73,
