Is Radio Shalom about to close it doors?
http://www.thesuburban.com/blogs/cohen_confidential_with_mike_cohen/is-radio-shalom-about-to-close-it-doors/article_51b85760-af61-11e5-87f1-b7ba652cd67d.html
What is the future for?Radio Shalom,?the only all Jewish radio station in North
America that broadcasts from the 1650 AM frequency in Montreal? The fact it has
survived for 10 years without any support from the organized Jewish community
is in itself a miracle. Now founder Robert Levy has begun to wave the white
flag. In a statement issued today, he said the time has come to end his
commitment towards the radio station.CJRS, branded as Radio Shalom Montreal, is
a 24-hour non-profit radio station based in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It is
Canada?s first and only trilingual Jewish radio station. Radio Shalom is also
the only all Jewish radio station in North America. It broadcasts in French,
English and Hebrew. The station broadcasts at 1650 AM. Its current president is
Robert Levy.Radio Shalom broadcasts in several different languages, notably
English, French, Hebrew and Yiddish. It has a number of interesting talk shows,
particularly those hosted by Howie Silbiger and Stanley A
sher. ?What I always appreciated about the station is not only can you listen
to it live online, but they always maintained a nice archive of past shows.Levy
really gave it his best shot, but I must say the proper push was never really
made to get the organized Jewish community completely on side. Yes, I know
attempts were made, but think of the value of?Federation CJA,?the YM-YWHA?and
?Montreal's plethora of Jewish organizations assuming a piece of the Radio
Shalom pie? Each has large constituencies and radio is so direct.Levy's
announcement does not necessarily mean Radio Shalom will close. He ?is first
and foremost proposing that a new president and board of directors be
appointed. Is there such a group out there?Levy spent years working towards
getting?the Canadian-radio Telecommunications Commission (CRTC)?to grant ?Radio
Shalom a license. We know that is no easy task. According to a survey in July
2015 conducted by Charles Shahar, Federation CJA statistician, 84.6 perc
ent of respondents said they were aware of the existence of Radio Shalom. As
the report notes, ?All in all, the awareness quotient of the community with
regard to Radio Shalom is a very positive finding.?

A former Fairlie man and radio DJ is helping to celebrate the 50th anniversary
of the original Radio Scotland, writes Drew Cochrane.Tony Meehan, who did shows
on pirate station Radio Scotland, is to take part in a special golden
anniversary show on New Year's Day.It was on January 1, 1966, that Radio
Scotland began broadcasting on 242 medium wave from a ship, the Comet, in the
sea off Dunbar.When former Labour Postmaster General Tony Benn closed pirate
radio down after 20 months, the ship moved around, including off the Ayrshire
coast to stay on the air, playing pop music.Tony, who moved last year to Dorset
in England, told the 'News': "The pirate radio stations of the 60s led to the
introduction of Radios 1 and 2 by the BBC, and commercial stations like Radio
Clyde and, later, Westsound. As such they are recognised as the forerunners of
today's commercial and BBC music stations.He said: "To recognise and pay
tribute to this achievement Scotland 69AM.com will broadcast new sh
ows, hosted by seven of the pirate DJs who will tell their stories and play
music for eight hours."Share article???Tony will be one of the broadcasters,
beginning on New Year's Day. He is one of the founders of Scotland 69AM which
is an award-winning internet station reaching 190 countries globally.The former
local resident, who has a professorship in public relations, having run the
successful TM company in Glasgow for decades, is the administrator of the
Kelburn Windfarm Trust.

> Greetings from Italy!
>
>
>
> Marconi Radio International (MRI) began its shortwave transmissions on
4th January 1986, with the aim of being a radio for DXers. That's why we
have planned a special 30th anniversary broadcast on the following days and
times:
>
>
>
> 3rd January 2016 from 08.00 to 16.00 UTC;
>
> 4th January 2026 from 13.00 to 16.00 UTC.
>
>
>
> Our frequency remains the same: 11390 kHz and power in the region of 30
watts. To mark this milestone, we?ll broadcast a special programme in
Italian with details on the history of MRI and interviews with two well
known DXers of Italy: Dario Monferini and Roberto Scaglione.
>
>
>
> Also our playlist will have something special as only songs with the word
"radio" in their title will be played (the playlist includes also some
little known tunes like ?Radio Tirana? by the Polish band Kult!).
>
>
>
> But that is not all. In addition to our weekly DX programme in English
"Italian Shortwave Panorama" and "Studio DX", produced and presented by
Roberto Scaglione, we'll be airing two vintage MRI programmes: a DX Show
in English of 25th December 1991 hosted by a female speaker, as well as the
edition nr. 6 of "Italian Wave", a programme aired during 1986, which
featured new Italian bands playing different kinds of rock music.
>
>
>
> As usual MRI encourages reception reports from listeners. Audio clips
(mp3-file) of our broadcasts are welcome! We QSL 100% and of course a
special 30th anniversary QSL verification will be sent to acknowledge
reports about reception of above mentioned broadcasts.
>
>
>
> Our e-mail address is: [email protected] but please
don?t forget to include your postal address as some lucky listeners will
also receive a printed QSL card.
>
>
>
> Last but not least, we need your help! If you use social networks,
please post an announcement on Facebook or send out a tweet the day
before the broadcasts. You can also forward this message to a friend.
This should help increase our potential audience.
>
>
>
> We hope to hear from a lot of shortwave listeners about these two special
30th anniversary broadcasts.

re BrDXC-UK ng, - Hi Dave:
> is due to close tonight at 0000 {sic} UTC tonight.
according direct phone access to BCE in Luxembourg:
LUXEMBOURG 1440 MW final, cease for ever at 2259 UT on Dec 31, 2015.
Ein Funkfreund wies mich gerade darauf hin, dass diesem Artikel zufolge...
<http://www.rtl.lu/letzebuerg/749246.html>
... die Sendung von gestern Nacht noch mal von 1200-1400 UT auf 1440 kHz
wiederholt wird.
(Daniel Kaehler-D, A-DX Dec 31)
1440 kHz RTL Radio Luxembourg Marnach update.
Final stop for ever on MW Marnach at 2259 UTC. Before the LUX National
Anthem played.
Hallo, nach einem Telefonanruf bei Herrn Eugene Mueller von BCE Luxembourg
wurde mir bestaetigt, dass 1440 kHz um 2259 UTC aufhoert. Davor kommt noch
die Luxemburger Nationalhymne. QSL-Karten werden gerne noch ausgestellt.
Die letzte englische Sendung laeuft, mit vielen Jingles.
Da kommt schon etwas (viel) Nostalgie auf.
Gruss aus LUX,
(Joe Leyder-LUX, A-DX Dec 31)

** AUSTRALIA. 12085, Dec 30 at 1327 check, this RA frequency is once again much
stronger than // 12065, which is the normal situation; after their being equal
on Dec 28, and reverse on Dec 24 --- as if antennas were being exchanged.
What`s going on at Shepparton?
Very degraded propagation Dec 31 at 1310 UT, 2016 having arrived in DST AET,
poor on 12085, only fair on 9580, but improves an hour later (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1806, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. 4885, Dec 30 at 0705, very poor signal in Brazuguese, as R. Clube do
Par? apparently signs on now at 0700, rather than 24h, and is already off again
by our evenings (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 6m Es maps showing activity all day Dec 29, just out of reach, over
eastern USA, northern, northwestern, so I never see anything on channel 2, or
hearing anything on 88.1 --- until almost midnight local, UT Dec 30:
0536 on 2, fade-in weak video and audio with music
0542 on 2, Spanish ad, promo a program at 6 de la tarde, but can`t catch a
network
0543, ``SIPSE``, mentioned as one word, so that points right to one of my
regulars, XHY-TV in M?rida, Yucat?n. (And my antenna is also pointed that
way.); no more seen after 0546. Then I check the 6m map and see one ham contact
line across Texas to correlate with DX from this direxion.
Probably the last time I will ever see it with the apag?n anal?gico looming,
but will no longer be an obstacle to further Latin American TVDX from the same
bearing across Central and South America, I hope (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** NEW ZEALAND. 11724.99, UT Wed Dec 30 at 0650, RNZI good with discussion of
virtual reality, which turns out to be part 1 of the `TED Radio Hour`, as
outroed at 0657 --- No US SW station dares to serve as a true public radio
outlet, so TG for NZ! DRM is also grinding away circa 11690 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 1120, Dec 30 at 1925 UT, Spanish, with OSU PSA and 918 area code,
so KETU, Sperry/Catoosa/Tulsa, La Ket? is back on following yesterday`s outage
(more reliable now that it`s not just music fill, but still subject to absences
for no particular obvious reason like power failure) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA [non]. 1460, KZUE El Reno is still AWOL, Dec 30 at 1919 UT on
caradio: power still out following Dec 26-27 icestorm. Instead weak mix of
skywave signals, one with football talk.
1460, Dec 30 at 1929 UT, ESPN Radio and at 1930 UT CCI from station mentioning
Burleson, missed ID for an FM; 1953 UT C&W music.
Burleson and C&W is certainly KCLE a.k.a. Cleburne TX; nearest ESPN on 1460 is
KXPN, 5 kW ND in Kearney NE. (KCLE used to be ESPN till it flipped to The
Outlaw last May; KBZO Lubbock TX is ESPN, but Deportes, i.e. Spanish).
KZUE is still missing Dec 30 at 1812 UT check (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 91.7, Dec 31 at 1702-1721 UT, KOSU provides us with 19 minutes of
dead air instead of NPR news and Hear & Now (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. FM bandscan on caradio, Dec 30 at 1955 UT finds several stations
still absent following Dec 26-27 icestorm:
88.3, K202BY, Enid, Family Radio still off (since November icestorm)
89.1, K206CA, Enid, Oasis, still off
90.5, KGVV, Goltry, off
93.7, KSPI, Stillwater off? Weak signal with C&W, probably something else,
maybe a mix

** SOLOMON ISLANDS. 5020, Dec 30 at 1325, JBA carrier from SIBC, on late once
again. Ron Howard says was because of typhoon warnings.
5020, Dec 31 at 0724, detectable JBA carrier this early in Cuba splash, and
still on at 1308, 1356 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SPAIN. 15500, Thu Dec 31 at 1507, S9+20 open carrier with some fading,
continuously past 1600+; presumably REE, the only station listed here, but
supposed to start programming from 1500 only on Saturdays & Sundays; perhaps on
NY eve, the ops at Noblejas are confused. Ivo Ivanov has also heard REE
transmitters running carriers at odd times like 0900+ (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** TURKEY. 11815.04, Dec 31 at 1501, very poor signal, unseems Japanese, and
off-frequency, so likely TRT Emiler TURKEY in Turkish as scheduled 14-17 UT at
300 degrees USward, rather than NHK at 09-17, 235 degrees oppositeward. I was
hoping to hear some New Year celebrations from 2016, just arrived in Japan

** U S A. 5085, Dec 30 at 0703, `Midnight[sic] in the Desert` is already
resuming after a [news?] break, Heather again, subject nuclear storage sites,
via WTWW-2 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1110, Dec 31 at 1350 UT, Qur`an bits alternating with talk
(translation?) in non-Arabic language, maybe Punjabi or Urdu, from 50 kW KVTT
Mineral Wells (Metroplex) TX (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1520, Dec 31 at 1336 UT, C&W music making slow SAH atop KOKC OKC,
then ID ``1520 AM KYND`` from Cypress TX, ``now living in Londale`` (?? I don`t
find any similar place in greater Houston) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A. 1540.08, Dec 30 at 1310 UT, het upon dominant signal KXEL on the
R-75. I measure it down to here, and on the DX-398 it`s about two clix (80 Hz)
above KXEL, furthermore looping NNW/SSE, just right for KGBC Galveston TX, and
with South Asian music; 1316 UT YL in English welcomes us mentioning 106.1 ---
so that clinches it, KGBC reported in RadioDiscussions to have replaced G&E/CRI
relay with ``Hum Tum Radio`` // 106.1. WTFDA Database has no such 106.1 listing
for TX, but this one is in the market:
K291CE KLTN-HD3 106.1 SUGAR LAND TX 0.19 kW 29.4456 95.2855 Spanish
KLTN is full-power on 102.9 in Houston, ``regional Mexican`` format. By 1318
UT, KEDA is gaining on 1540 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1540, Dec 31 at 1329 UT, R. Jalape?o is dominant signal, ID in
Spanglish from KEDA San Antonio, with a constant LAH: man?vering the DX-398, I
am trying to decide whether KEDA is the one off-frequency, to the hi side. No,
it`s further east, like from KGBC Galveston as I thought yesterday, tho I can`t
pull any South Asian audio from it today. By 1348 UT, KXEL is starting to
appear, and making a sub-audible het with KEDA, i.e. both very close to
on-frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. Caradio bandscan Dec 30 starting at 1918 UT finds skywave in play
half a sesquihour after local mean noon, including:
1620, at 1918 UT, ``The Zone``, i.e. KOZN Bellevue (Omaha) NE
1510, at 1921 UT, football game, fades up and down, KCTE Independence MO, also
with lo het, so must be on its off-frequency transmitter now. This het is just
a bit higher-pitched than the one on 1540, at 1928 UT
1540, at 1921 UT, low audible het, like I was getting at sunrise from KGBC
Galveston TX (vs KXEL IA likely)
1660, at 1921 UT, sports talk, probably KWOD Kansas City KS, tho ND and TX are
also sports
1700, at 1922 UT, sports talk about Iowa over TexMex music, i.e. KBGG Des
Moines IA and KKLF Richardson TX.

** U S A. 700, Dec 30 at 1923 UT on groundwave, Spanish religion, so KHSE Wylie
TX. so far heard only in Spanish despite broadening format to ETHnic (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1360, Dec 30 at 1926 UT, plugging AM-820, covering the state of Ohio,
Catholic call-in from EWTN. I.e. the former WOSU disposed of by Ohio State, now
WVSG with 6.5 kW in the daytime. But this 1360 is KPHN El Dorado KS, close
enough for marginal groundwave but stronger than usual so some boost from
skywave? Holding its own against the local KCRC spur/het from 1390 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** YEMEN [non]. 11860, Dec 30 at 1429, R. Sana`a in music at S9+20, usual very
good level; 1437 goes to dramatic echoey speech, and CCI from IBB Kuwait
audible under; 1439.5 to chanting music; 1441:56 cut to Maghrib, sunset call to
prayer.
Very different reception Dec 31, as WWV reported:
``Geophysical Alert Message
Solar-terrestrial indices for 30 December follow.
Solar flux 102 and estimated planetary A-index 4.
The estimated planetary K-index at 1200 UTC on 31 December was 4.
The estimated planetary K-index at 1500 UTC on 31 December was 6.
Space weather for the past 24 hours has been moderate.
Geomagnetic storms reaching the G2 level occurred.
Space weather for the next 24 hours is predicted to be moderate.
Geomagnetic storms reaching the G2 level are expected.``
11860, Dec 31 at 1308, JBA carrier from R. Sana`a; improved to only poor by
1422; 1439 very poor with CCI from IBB Kuwait; cut to Qur`an for Maghrib call
to prayer at 1443:28.5.
Two days ago this happened at 1441:22.5, so now 2 minutes and 6 seconds later.
Gaisma.com shows today`s sunset in Aden at 1444 UT; Sana`a, 1443, so today`s
timing neatly splits the difference between the two main cities; both to shift
4 minutes later in one week (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

A triste (quase morte) da Onda M?dia na Europa, na passagem do ano:
Enquanto a Europa se prepara para festejar a entrada em 2016, os
entusiastas da r?dio que defendem a Onda M?dia est?o em luto. Com efeito, a
partir das 23h00 UTC (hor?rio de Inverno em Portugal continental e Madeira)
deste dia 31 de Dezembro de 2015, a Alemanha abandona por completo a Onda
M?dia, bem como o Luxemburgo (1440 kHz Marnach, da RTL). Tamb?m a Fran?a
abandona esta noite quase por completo esta faixa, desligando os emissores
das r?dios p?blicas France Info e France Bleu. A excep??o ser?,
aparentemente, o emissor de Lyon da Info (603 kHz), que ter? visto
protelado o encerramento para o pr?ximo dia 4 de Janeiro.
Com esta lastim?vel onda de encerramentos, sobrevivem os seguintes
emissores em territ?rio franc?s:
162 kHz Allouis 2000/1000 kW France Inter - desligamento agendado para o
dia 31/12/2016
216 kHz Roumoules 1400/900 kW RMC (04.56 ? 00.08) Local time
603 kHz Lyon - France Info - "switch off" no dia 4/01/2016
1467 kHz Roumoules 1000 kW TransWorld Radio (22.00 ? 00.15) Local Time
1467 kHz Col de la Madone 40 kW Radio Maria France (06.00- 20.30) Local Time
1593 kHz St Gou?no 10 kW Bretagne 5
O argumento? Como dir?o os gauleses, c'est l'argent . Em bom portugu?s, a
t?pica "conten??o de custos"...

=============
Marnach transmitter site, Luxembourg
Since then the transmitter at Marnach has been used to broadcast programmes
from CRI (China Radio), South Korea and KBS World Radio.
But tonight this comes to an end ?? the Marnach transmitter is being
switched off for good (along with most MF transmitters in Germany and
France) and the antenna will be removed and the land sold at the going rate..
Last evening, a programme about the ending of Radio Luxembourg was aired
over 208 (1440 kHz). The end is nigh!
Am I alone in feeling somewhat sad that the end of the Marnach transmitter
signifies the end of a broadcasting era?
Thanks Marnach and Radio Luxembourg!
Gone, but never forgotten..........
