Re: [HCDX] RTP: there is 'every reason' to suspend shortwave
Moral of story, when appealing to a broadcaster to remain on shortwave, use snail mail, sending an email proves to the broadcaster the listener can hear them via the internet. Paul - Original Message - From: "Zacharias Liangas " Sent: Saturday, September 03, 2011 10:30 PM Subject: [HCDX] RTP: there is 'every reason' to suspend shortwave RTP: there is 'every reason' to suspend shortwave http://www.southgatearc.org/news/september2011/every_reason_to_suspend_shortwave.ht m The chairman of the board of Ra'dio e Televisa~o de Portugal (RTP), Guilherme Costa, said on Tuesday that the company has 'every reason' to suspend the shortwave transmissions of RDP Internacional. Mr Costa, quoted by the Lusa news agency, said such a platform is obsolete from the technical point of view, is generally poor quality in terms of reception, and is expensive, adding that discussions about shortwave began within the organisation in May 2009. He said that RDP had received 190 messages on the suspension of shortwave broadcasts, and more than half came via email from people who can listen to broadcasts on the Internet. RTP announced in May that it would temporarily suspend the shortwave broadcasts of RDP Internacional from 1 June, citing the low number of listeners and the need to reduce costs.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 !!)

** ALBANIA. Webcast, Sept 3 at 0330, R. Tirana is indeed still announcing 13640 instead of 13735 for the English Mon-Sat at 1845 and 2000; 13640 with an interference problem was replaced months ago. Moot anyhow, no SW at all on the air currently (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** BRAZIL. 4885, Sept 3 at 0522, Brazilian music, poor vs noise level, CODAR. Probably R. Clube do Pará, traditionally one of the best 24h signals from Brazil, first time audible here in months. I lament my lack of DX logs below 5 MHz, as my line noise level is horrific; must get OG&E on the case, if they haven`t all been deployed to the east coast (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CHINA [and non]. Firedrake Sept 3, in the ChiCom noon hour: 16100, JBA at 0456, while CRI Kashgar VG and fluttery in Russian on 15445, 15665 After 1230: 7970, very poor at 1231 10300, very good at 1236 12600, good at 1238 13130, fair at 1239 13970, JBA at 1240 14400, JBA at 1241 16100, very poor at 1243 16980, JBA at 1242, slightly better than the 14 and 13 18180, JBA at 1244 Before 1400: 12025, JBA at 1352 under CNR1 jamming 12270, very good at 1352 12500, very good at 1351 12980, very good at 1351 13970, poor at 1350 13920, poor at 1350, weaker than 13970 15430, fair at 1344 mixed with noise, Chinese 1, very poor at 1344 16100, fair at 1347 17170, good at 1349 with flutter; none in the 18s, 14s (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** GUAM. 5765-USB, can`t trace AFN Sept 4 at 1226 avoiding as best I can WTWW 5755, nor several previous mornings. Is AFN off again? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** ITALY [non]. 15610, Sat Sept 3 at 1257 tune-in to M&W discussion in American English; IRRS via Tiganeshti, ROMANIA must have been turned on early with tail of something else, but 1258:40 cut to Aïda, 1300:10 quick IRRS sign-on ID, dead air, until, until --- 1300:55 KQED Radio ID, discussion about upcoming cultural events in the Bay Area, including Ensemble Paralelle with the opera Wozzeck; Exploratorium; a new play, etc. 1307 outro as ``The Do List`` with David Wiegand, San Francisco Chronicle; see http://www.kqed.org/radio/programs/thedolist/ However, nothing about Wozzeck now but we find by searching the KQED Events Calendar that Wozzeck was performing January 30, 2010, so apparently a very old podcast we are hearing. Followed by jazzed-up `Star Spangled Banner` but not to the extent of Jimi`s. Poor signal at outset with deep fades, but getting a little better. 1312.5, into discussion of several of the week`s ``under-reported news stories``; 1317 mentions program is `Between the Lines``; 1322 from Blair Mountain WV, to cellphone hazards; 1340 ending show, with 203 area code, originates in Connecticut, and website. Found this to be the August 19, 2011 edition: http://www.btlonline.org/2011/110819-btl.html but KQED is not listed as a station carrying it. Then PSAs and songs. (I break away for another Firedrake scan.) 1354 discussion of aging and Alzheimer`s with Susan Jacoby, author of `The New Old Age`` on `Listeners` Forum`. Cut off at 1358.5 for IRRS sign-off and WEWN ethereally heavenly sign-on QRM. So it pays to keep checking this hour of IRRS, as once again they have replaced Brother Scare with KQED or other noncommercial US public radio programming. Is it a satellite mixup? I looked for KQED in Lyngsat`s listing of free radio USA, not there. Maybe it involves instead mixed up web feeds to Milano and/or Tiganeshti (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** MAURITANIA. 7245, Sept 3 at 0135, weak Arabish talk so IGIM continues 24-hours, post-Ramadan, why?

The Shortwave Report 09/02/11 Listen Globally!
by Dan Roberts ( outfarpress [at] saber.net )
Thursday Sep 1st, 2011 5:14 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. China Radio International, the Voice Of Russia, NHK World Radio
Japan, Radio
Deutsche-Welle, and Radio Havana Cuba.
Dear Radio Friend,
The latest Shortwave Report (September 2) 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}
http://www.audioport.org/index.php?op=producer-info&uid=904&nav=&;)
This week's show features stories from China Radio International, the Voice of
Russia, NHK
World Radio Japan, Radio Deutsche-Welle, and Radio Havana Cuba.
>From CHINA- China has enacted a new income tax law which greatly reduces the
>number of
of citizens required to file. The Chinese government says that stabilizing
consumer prices
remains the top priority. China has an aircraft carrier, making it the last of
the UN Permanent
Security members to possess one. The Chinese government is trying to work out
compensation for damages caused by the huge Conoco Philips oil spill in a north
China bay.
There are conflicting stories from two of the sons of Muammar Gaddafi.
>From RUSSIA- With the war on Libya apparently winding down, it is easy for
>NATO to feel
triumphant. However many analysts differ on the success of the operation to
oust Gaddafi.
>From JAPAN- A Libyan rebel leader says that about 50,000 people have been
>killed in the
fighting since March. Then another section from the series on renewable energy
sources that
NHK ran 2 weeks ago. This one is on marine energy, including wave and tidal
research in
Europe.
>From GERMANY-- The German government has decided not to restart the 8 nuclear
>power
plants shut down after Fukushima. Turkey and Israel are facing a showdown over
last year's
killing of 9 Turkish citizens on the flotilla to break the Israeli economic
blockade on the Gaza
Strip.
>From CUBA- The Wikileaks website came under attack Tuesday after releasing
>thousands of
diplomatic cables. The Afghan government intentionally impeded peace talks
between the
US and the Taliban. The Pentagon's use of no-bid contracts has tripled in the
past 10 years.
The African Union Chief has accused Libyan rebels of treating all black
Africans as
mercenaries for Gaddafi- one third of Libya's population is black. The
Socialist Party of
Venezuela has called for unity, warning that some dissidents are calling for
foreign
intervention, like what has occurred in Libya.
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)

Previously missing from the unofficial R. Tirana webcast, rechecked UT Sept 2 at 0331 instead of silence, the English service is underway! with opening frequency schedule; unfortunately I `tuned in` too late to tell if Klara had corrected 13640 to 13735 for the 1845 and 2000 transmissions, which are still off the air, anyway. Yes, 7425, the 0330 frequency, is still absent too. Heard features alternating with music including at 0347 `Around Albania` about two tourist villages in the south. Ended at 0400 and back to silent streaming. Christian Milling in Germany, who was involved in setting up the stream with Radio 700, tells us: ``Hi, what I can confirm from checking the RT stream are the following languages on the Webcast. All programs are now recorded and uploaded to the webserver (sorry for the non-translation in the feed, but my knowledge of Turkish and Serbian is rather low...) 1545-1600 Greek http://www.radio700.info/podcasts/gr/al/tirana/tirana.php 1800-1830 German http://www.radio700.info/podcast/de/al/tirana/tirana.php 1830-1900 Turkish http://www.radio700.info/podcasts/tr/al/tirana/tirana.php 1900-1930 French http://www.radio700.info/podcasts/fr/al/tirana/tirana.php 2015-2030 Serbian http://www.radio700.info/podcasts/rs/al/tirana/tirana.php 0330-0400 English http://www.radio700.info/podcasts/en/al/tirana/tirana.php The Greek Service consists only of an announcement and music non stop. Unfortunately I can't hear the Italian programs online. Obviously they are transmitted via the second audiochannel that is connected to the transmitter sites, so here no recording possible. It seems that the Webcast is fed to Fllak? Transmitter 2 programs and Shijak Transmitter 1 programs, except for Italian and some of the English broadcasts.
