[HCDX] After 27 years, FEBC shutting down Saipan station for good
After 27 years, FEBC shutting down Saipan station for good http://www.saipantribune.com/newsstory.aspx?cat=1newsID=112098 By Clarissa David Reporter Far East Broadcasting Company general manager Bob Springer, center, talks about their plans to decommission their radio station that broadcasts from Saipan for 27 years the gospel of Jesus Christ, by the end of the year during the Saipan Rotary Club meeting yesterday. Looking on is Rotary president Pete Igitol, left, and vice president Pete Shilling, right. (Clarissa V. David) Far East Broadcasting Co., a non-profit, non-denominational missionary organization that broadcasts the gospel of Jesus Christ to many parts of Asia, will decommission its radio station on Saipan by the end of the year, after 27 years of broadcasting on island. Bob Springer, FEBC general manager, attributed their decision to government deregulation and advances in communications technology that he said have significantly reduced the demand for shortwave broadcasting. Shortwave broadcasting is a long distance broadcasting mechanism that allows a radio station to broadcast up to 4,000 miles. In the last two and a half years, FEBC has studied the trends in technology in the audience listening habits and the conclusion of this exhaustive study has been we should cease broadcast from Saipan while continuing shortwave broadcast from our facilities in the Philippines, Springer said. Founded in 1945, FEBC began with a vision of starting a radio station in China and constructing programming studios in Shanghai. But with the Nationalist government's concern about the Communist takeover, FEBC wasn't given a license to operate a station there. That was sought in the Philippines, have to get property, get a license to broadcast from the Philippines into China, said Springer. The first station went on the air just three months before China fell to the Communists and it's been broadcasting to China ever since. With the ministry's rapid growth, FEBC started broadcasting from Okinawa to China in 1957 and Korea in1971. In 1975, FEBC initially came to Saipan to explore the possibilities of building a station here. In 1978, FEBC created KSAI to serve the Commonwealth. While we were operating KSAI in those early years, negotiations went on for land to build a shortwave station and in 1981, a lease was signed in the Marpi area to build the station where we're located, said Springer, adding that FEBC officially went on air in 1984 with four transmitters broadcasting to Russia, China, and Southeast Asia. At the height of its broadcasting efforts, FEBC broadcasted to about 15 different countries in 24 different languages and dialects, including that of Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and the Ukraine. Springer disclosed that they receive tens of thousands of letters every month from people responding to the gospel they broadcast. Having lived on Saipan longer than anywhere else that I've ever lived, Springer said he feels sorry to go. While we've enjoyed the 27 years that we've been able to operate here on Saipan, the government and the commercial side of things here on Saipan has been very good to us and we've appreciated that. But we can see the time and we know that that's the thing we need to do, added Springer.

The Shortwave Report 08/26/11 Listen Globally!
by Dan Roberts ( outfarpress [at] saber.net )
Thursday Aug 25th, 2011 5:31 PM
A weekly 30 minute review of international news and opinion, recorded from
a shortwave
radio and the internet. With times, frequencies, and websites for listening at
home. 3 files-
HIGHEST QUALITY BROADCAST, regular broadcast, and slow-modem streaming. Free to
rebroadcast. Radio Deutsche-Welle, Radio Havana Cuba, the Voice of Russia, and
NHK
World Radio Japan.
Dear Radio Friend,
The latest Shortwave Report (August 26) is up at the website
http://www.outfarpress.com/shortwave.shtml in 3 forms- (new) HIGHEST QUALITY
(128kb)(27MB), broadcast quality (16MB), and quickdownload or streaming form
(6MB)
(28:59) Links at page bottom
(If you have access to Audioport there is a highest quality version posted up
there {27MB}

This week's show features stories from Radio Deutsche-Welle, Radio Havana Cuba,
the
Voice of Russia, and NHK World Radio Japan..
From GERMANY- Some European economists say that if the 17 Eurozone nations
were to
pool their finances, it would be in much better shape than the US. In Libya the
rebels seems
to have united many different tribes on the way to Tripoli- there is a question
as to how well
they will all get along once a new government begins to form.
From CUBA- It turns out that US and NATO forces had key roles in the Libyan
rebels push
into Tripoli- and they were aided by covert forces from France, Britain, and
some East
European countries. A massive national strike in Chile has united trade union
workers with
the students who have been protesting for weeks. The Foreign Ministers from the
Union of
South American Nations have gathered in Argentina to find ways to mitigate the
impact of the
global financial disaster. Bolivian Assembly Socialist members voted to expel
the US Agency
for International Development for conspiring against the local government.
From RUSSIA- An analysis of the protests taking place at the White House to
demand that
President Obama put an end to the proposed tar sands oil pipeline from Alberta
Canada to oil
refineries on the Gulf Coast of Texas- which many say is the largest carbon
bomb in North
America.
From JAPAN- Prime Minister Kan says that he and his cabinet will resign next
week if his bill
on renewable energy passes through the Diet. The Japanese government has a plan
to
reduce the radiation level in Fukushima Prefecture by 50% within 2 years. Three
quarters of
the nuclear reactors in Japan are now out of service. NHK produced a daily
segment last
week on the various types of renewable energy being successfully used around
the planet.
This segment covers the use of a combination of solar panels and hydroelectric
generators in
Laos.
There is an article about the Shortwave Report by Cassandra Roos on line -
http://www.campusprogress.org/soundvision/780/big-stories-shortwaves
I was interviewed for an informative weekly radio show Mediageek, available at
http://radio.mediageek.net
All that plus times and frequencies for listening at home. It's free to
rebroadcast, please notify
me if you're airing it and haven't notified me in the last month, please
mention the website if
you only air a portion. If you just want to listen and have a slow connection,
try the streaming
version- lower sound quality but good enough and way easier if you don't have a
high-speed
internet connection. If streaming is a problem because of your slow connection,
download the
smaller file- it takes 20 minutes or less, and will play swell in any mp3
player application
(RealPlayer, Winamp, Quicktime, iTunes, etc) you have on your computer.
NEW TIME SLOT on KZYX! This program will be aired on Sunday afternoon at 4pm
(PDST)
on KZYX/Z Philo CA, you might be able to stream via http://www.kzyx.org
There are several other streams that work better- http://www.freakradio.org
Freak Radio
Santa Cruz now streams this program on Friday at 9:00am.(PDST)
NEWLY CORRECTED!!! The Shortwave Report may be downloaded as a podcast from
feed://radio.indymedia.org/en/podcast?keys=shortwave++
I hope you'll listen and air this if you're connected with a radio station. I
am still wondering
how to get financially compensated for the 25 hours I put into this program
weekly- any ideas
are appreciated. Any stations rebroadcasting this (or listeners) are welcome to
donate for
production costs. You can do so through the website. Many thanks to those that
have
donated! No Guilt! (maybe a little)

[HCDX] Solar activity increases odds of disruptions on Earth
Solar activity increases odds of disruptions on Earth http://www.times-standard.com/localnews/ci_18706106 Suzanne Bohan/Contra Costa Times Posted: 08/18/2011 02:20:17 AM PDT The sun has entered a cycle of increasingly powerful flares and eruptions, catapulting to Earth high-energy particles capable of wreaking havoc on electronic and communication systems that support our high-tech civilization. We're seeing so much more now, compared with the last few years, said Ben Burress, an astronomer with the Chabot Space and Science Center in Oakland. He pointed to a satellite image that showed flares and magnetic storms roiling the sun's surface. And when you have them happening five times a day, there's a greater chance of one actually hitting us, he said. The powerful solar storms shift the spectacular northern lights as far south as Florida and Texas, but they also punch holes in the Earth's protective magnetic field, which can cause health problems as well as disrupt communications. On Tuesday, radiation from a solar flare briefly interfered with shortwave radio signals, an easily affected high-frequency wave. The disruptions are coming because the sun is entering a decadelong phase that scientists call solar maximum. In the midst of this phase, the sun's magnetic field flips north to south, contributing to the solar storms that NASA says should peak in 2013 or 2014. Solar flares typically affect radio signals on the daylight side of the planet, said Joseph Kunches, a space scientist at the Space Weather Prediction Center in Boulder, Colo. The real danger comes when Advertisement a solar storm ejects a chunk of the corona -- the sun's outermost layer -- toward the Earth. It hurtles through space as a huge electrically charged cloud with its own magnetic field. Scientists call it a coronal mass ejection. That cloud of plasma is thrown off the sun like a bowling ball, and sometimes we're at the other end of the bowling alley and it hits us, Kunches said. When that happens, the Earth's magnetic field buckles and resulting magnetic storms can set off electrical surges that damage transformers and other equipment in electrical grids. In 1989, a solar storm triggered the collapse of Canada's Hydro-Quebec power grid, cutting power to 6 million people for as much as nine hours. That storm also knocked out a transformer at a New Jersey power plant, along with 200 other smaller disruptions in the North American power grid, according to a 2008 National Academy of Sciences report on space weather. Other solar storm damage cited in the report: * The 2005 diversion of 26 United Airlines flights, due to the loss of shortwave radio communication over the North Pole. In that region, pilots rely on shortwave radio since satellites orbiting the equator are out of range. * A 30-hour shutdown of a Federal Aviation Administration global positioning system in 2003. * The 1994 blackout of two Canadian communications satellites, disrupting service nationwide. The first recovered in a few hours, but the second was out for six months and cost nearly $70 million to repair. But the granddaddy of them all, Kunches said, was an 1859 solar event. It blanketed the planet with stunning red, green and purple auroras so bright that people could read by them at night, according to a NASA account. The auroras, usually seen only in the upper northern latitudes, reached as far south as Hawaii and El Salvador. One early low-tech effect was disruption of telegraph systems worldwide. A solar superstorm struck again in 1921 that scientists estimate was 10 times more powerful than the 1989 storm that disabled the Canadian grid. Those storms struck the pre-electronic Earth. A repeat of it in modern times would be a space weather Katrina, according to the Academy of Sciences report. It estimates a severe solar storm could cause $1 trillion to $2 trillion in losses the first year, and take four to 10 years to fully recover from. Scientists such as Kunches spend their days monitoring solar storms and other space weather through an array of satellites, and space weather forecasting is constantly advancing. Solar flares and ejections travel the 93 million miles to the Earth in as quickly as a day, but more typically three to four days, Kunches said. Scientists can track them, though without being able to precisely detail their severity. He likened it to hurricane predictions. Forecasting enabled electrical utilities to gird against the large 2003 solar storm, minimizing damage. Mother Nature's going to do what she wants, but we're paying attention, Kunches said.

** ALBANIA. R. Tirana now appears to be completely off the air. One of the two Shijak transmitters had been down since the end of July, meaning e.g. the 1430-1500 English to NAm was missing from 13625 (and still silent Aug 26), but the evening broadcasts were still heard on 7425. Now, Aug 26 at 0257 I heard nothing there (tho it might have just signed off), so checked again at 0330 for the final repeat and 7425 was still missing. Wolfgang Büschel noted earlier on August 25 he was not hearing any Tirana transmissions. Let`s hope they can soon fix whatever the problem is! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** ANGUILLA [and non]. 6090, CB missing again, Aug 26 at 0540; however, could hear RHC in English, leapfrog of 6010 over 6050; also when mid-attenuated, but in this case may have been receiver overload more than spurious transmission (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** ANTARCTICA.

WEWN is off the air August 26; seems every August they close down for a few days of maintenance, but there is nothing about this on their frequency schedule page http://www.ewtn.com/radio/freq.htm Aug 26 at 1250, nothing on 7555, 12050 or 13580. After 1300 nothing on 11550 which normally takes over from 7555. 1710 nothing on scheduled 15610, 13830 or 11550. Victims of its squishy spurs plus and minus 9 and 18 kHz from the English-language transmitter get a temporary respite. Previous maintenance periods have failed to deal with this problem (nor squeal on one of the Spanish transmitters), so we don`t expect any fix this time either.

[HCDX] Nigeria, International Community Rattled by U.N. Bombing@
Nigeria, International Community Rattled by U.N. Bombing http://www.pbs.org/newshour/rundown/2011/08/nigeria-bombing.html By: Larisa Epatko Bombing aftermath at U.N. building in Abuja, Nigeria. Photo by Henry Chukwuedo/AFP/Getty Images. A car bomber broke through two gates and detonated his explosives in front of a U.N. building in Nigeria's capital Abuja, killing at least 18 people Friday. The radical Muslim group Boko Haram claimed responsibility in a phone call to the BBC's Hausa language shortwave radio service in northern Nigeria -- the same way it had taken credit for attacks in the past. The northern-based Boko Haram, whose name in English means Western education is forbidden, is seeking to establish strict Sharia law in the country. Friday's attack was the first on a U.N. -- or any international -- building by the group, which usually targets Nigerian government installations or security forces, said Comfort Ero, International Crisis Group's Africa program director, who is based in Nairobi, Kenya. Boko Haram's past attacks include the June bombing of police headquarters in Abuja, which killed six people. President Obama called Friday's attack horrific and cowardly in a statement. An attack on Nigerian and international public servants demonstrates the bankruptcy of the ideology that led to this heinous action, he said. The group's possible links to al-Qaida, further suspected after the attack on a Western-based and international body, has put it in the orbit of U.S. interests. Nigeria also supplies the United States with 10 percent of its oil imports, and the United States is its largest customer of crude oil. In July, the government of President Goodluck Jonathan formed a negotiating committee to deal with Boko Haram's grievances and the bombing attacks. The government also has said it would investigate reports of abuses by the army in fighting the Islamist group. But despite these moves, the government's crackdown on the group intensified, and the threat from Boko Haram also grew in the past few months, Ero said. Nigeria's long-standing tensions between the mainly Muslim north and mostly Christian south ignited in violent protests in April after President Jonathan, a Christian, was elected and the candidate favored by many Muslims lost. Deep-seated economic and employment inequalities are further destabilizing the country of 155 million, said Ero. Particularly where Boko Haram hails from, the north suffers from a potent mix of economic malaise and community-based distribution of resources. All of these factors are churning in Nigeria as attacks are now taking an international bent, she said.Standard rig : ICOM R75 / 2x16 V / m@h40 heads Sennheiser Please read and distribute this 15 year research article http://tinyurl.com/5vzg7e Please read my article on SINPO at http://tinyurl.com/yt7qjd http://zlgr.multiply.com (radio monitoring site plus audio clips ) MAIN SITE http://www.delicious.com/gr_greek1/@zach (all mypages !!)
