[HCDX] End of our Journey in 4 days...
March 27 2016 Friends of Radio Heritage It's the end of our journey this year in 4 days. That's right, on March 31 we finish up our financial year. We've enjoyed bringing you more stories and features about radio broadcasting over the years, but like any volunteer group, we've struggled with resources and priorities and it looks like we won't achieve everything we set out to do before March 31. Every month we reach many thousand visitors to the website which is the public face of our project...and about 80% are new people who enjoy the wide range of stories and services like our radio station guides. We've added some major features, but still have a huge backlog and some major projects to work through as our volunteer resources permit. Here's where we need your help right nowyou've contributed 90% of our annual operating expenses for the project..but we're still $2,324 down from where we need to be by March 31. Can you make a donation to help us clear this? We'd really appreciate it. At www.radioheritage.net you'll find full details of our monthly project expenses, and see the 13 good people who have made a donation this month. We'd love to add or upgrade your name on the roll of honor and acknowledge you this coming month as helping make it all possible. Thank you for doing what you can to help us on this part of our journey...it's never an easy time of year for lots of volunteer projects... but there is now a growing recognition worldwide that radio heritage and history needs to be protected and made accessible and we'll continue to keep doing our best to carry on the good work which is only possible with donors worldwide to the project.

We have another recollection in the works right now...about setting up a a one man band commercial radio station Triple X FM north of Wellington in New Zealand a few years ago. We're also working on a fascinating series of All American radio stations that introduced the music and culture of the USA to audiences worldwide between 1941 and 1983the stories of the famous 50,00 watt Class 1A clear channel radio stations and other powerful American stations that became familiar to millions of listeners...keep your eye out for this new regional series illustrated from images held in our collections. Chicago and the eastern Midwest will be first to appear. Our financial year started on April 1 and it looks like we've raised all but $2,458 of our operating costs since then...and if you feel you could help top up this amount to help us reach our target...we would warmly welcome your continued support as we close 2015 out. Details are on our website www.radioheritage.net and we sincerely look forward to seeing your name appear in our monthly roll of honor, and perhaps moving you further up the Supporters Roll.

[HCDX] ANZAC Day Radio Memories
Media Release Radio Heritage Foundation www.radioheritage.net ANZAC Day 2010 Radio Memories __ The Radio Heritage Foundation extends warm greetings to all veterans, friends and families as we remember on April 25 2010. Our good friends at Australian Old Time Radio have generously made available a wonderful series of mini-radio documentaries that tell the stories of Australian heroes over the years. Some of you may be familiar with the series 'Citation' and now is a chance to listen to it again: On www.australianotr.com.au/Citation.asp you will find our latest project to Commemorate ANZAC Day. The shows are only available on the site until the end of April. We invite everyone to download and listen to these programs. We also remind you that our Armed Forces Radio Service [AFRS] Memories features at www.radioheritage.net are always available for free community access. Although these concentrate on the American WWII stations in the Pacific, some veterans may remember them. In New Zealand, 1ZM in Auckland was handed over to AFRS in 1944 and became part of the Mosquito Network centered in New Caledonia. We also have a special feature on the AAAS stations that broadcast for Australian personnel in the SW Pacific region and later in the occupation forces with Japan. There was also a New Zealand station at Kure which some people may recollect. As always, if anyone has memories of listening to or being involved with any of the stations - including the later stations in Korea, Malaya and Vietnam - we're always pleased to hear from you. Again, our warm greetings as we pause to remember, and an invitation to enjoy the stories and memories of these AFRS and AAAS stations, their music, personalities and events, and also the 'Citation' series of radio documentaries. Radio Heritage Foundation is a registered non-profit connecting popular culture, nostalgia and radio heritage across the Pacific.

[HCDX] New RNZI Documentary - Contemporary Island Radio Pacific Style
Media Release Radio Heritage Foundation www.radioheritage.net RNZI Airs New Radio Heritage Documentary Contemporary Island Radio Pacific Style Honiara and Vila Join us from Monday February 22 2010 when we air our new radio heritage documentary about contemporary island style radio on the current Radio New Zealand International [RNZI] Mailbox program. Co-inciding with tests from the new shortwave transmitters of Radio Vanuatu this week, the program explores todays radio dials in both Vila and Honiara and introduces listeners to a number of Pacific FM stations they may never have before heard. You can listen directly via shortwave or audio on demand [for the following month] with full details of broadcast frequencies and times in your area and audio download at www.rnzi.com. The program traces radio heritage in Vila back to a 1930's station operated by a French plantation owner and which relayed French Colonial radio from Paris as well as local commodity prices and announcements. In the 1960's Radio Port Vila was testing on shortwave with 1kw, very similar to this weeks tests using 1.5kW so there's progress for you. Audio in the program comes from VTBC or Radio Vanuatu, as well as the most popular station in the nation, Capital FM 107 from Vila. US Armed Forces broadcasters WVUQ Radio City, Guadalcanal and WVTJ Munda on New Georgia followed a late 1920's church mission broadcaster also from Munda. In the 1950's, SIBC was operating on shortwave as VQO3 with 5kW and the new transmitters planned for Honiara this year will have 10kW, so again, some progress is being made. The audio in our new documentary comes from SIBC recorded in Honiara, and also from local commercial station Paoa FM, again the most popular station in the nation. These are fragile broadcasting markets, with only a handful of local stations competing on FM with Radio Australia and China Radio International relays and several religious stations. Join David Ricquish of the Radio Heritage Foundation for this audio and heritage tour deep into the South Pacific, and taking in contemporary Island Radio Pacific Style from the Solomon Islands and Vanuatu. You'll also enjoy related articles and images about AFRS Radio in the Solomon Islands and other Island Radio Pacific Style content at the global website of the Radio Heritage Foundation www.radioheritage.net. Use our free Pacific Asian Log Radio Guides for AM, FM and SW broadcasters from around the entire region, easy to search and easy to use.

[HCDX] Radio New Zealand
Radio New Zealand Further to recent posts and news about the financial issues facing Radio New Zealand, I doubt if anyone will be switching any transmitters off here within the near future. In fact, RNZ receives NZ$34m in government funds + earns another NZ$4m each year and employs nearly 300 people to produce just 24 hours a day of programs on RNZ National and another 24 hours a day on RNZ Concert. RNZ refuses to participate in radio industry ratings, claiming it's above such raw numbers, adding that it's quality not quantity that's critical. So no-one really knows how many people listen to them. RNZ Concert serves a very elite audience with the highest powered FM transmitters they have whilst other listeners suffer poor FM service or none at all. RNZ senior management and board members tried the old fashioned approach when asked to come up with ways to do more with the same budget. Do you want RNZ National switched off at midnight? Can we move RNZ National back onto AM and switch off the FM transmitters? Can we stop our tiny advertising? Close our regional offices in marginal electorates? What button can we push? Where will it hurt you politically? All silly petulant arguments designed to get 'mother of 3' and 'retired teacher' to furiously demand to their local member of parliament that civilization is about to disappear. Unfortunately, this is 2010 and such pork barrel arguments hold no sway with a government still enjoying well over 50% public support after 18 months in power and a severe recession. All they do is convince the government that RNZ has totally lost the plot. RNZ staff levels are reportedly up over 10% whilst hours produced remain much the same, their Sound Archives has closed its doors to 'save money', and still they slowly drift along in a public service state of mind, blissfully ignorant of recessions, new technology and how to achieve more with less. In my view, chances are high that the existing board and some senior management will be invited to fall on their swords whilst new people with a positive mindset will appear and find ways to creatively expand services, not reduce them. RNZI is completely unaffected by the turmoil, as it's separately funded by the Ministry for Culture Heritage and its staff achieve small miracles with their resources and continue to expand their services. They get 'out about' and are in direct daily touch with their audience, responsive to them, and display innovation and enterprise.

[HCDX] Kiwi LPFM Hits 1400
Media Release Radio Heritage Foundation www.radioheritage.net New Zealand LPFM Radio Guide Kiwi LPFM Hits 1400 The New Zealand LPFM Radio Guide has reached 1,400 separate entries says the Radio Heritage Foundation who host this unique guide at its website www.radioheritage.net. 'That's a lot of local radio that's come and gone, or is keeping on going since low power FM was introduced nearly two decades ago in the form of 'talking houses' used by real estate agents around Hamilton' notes David Ricquish, who helps maintain the listings. In fact, LPFM stations can be found throughout all the main cities, and increasingly in smaller localities where they provide a means for local people to have a community voice. Some original LPFM stations have moved on in a big way, with George FM being brought out by Mediaworks and now one of New Zealand's top radio brands with a growing global audience through online streaming. Pulzar FM in Christchurch has also moved on from its humble LPFM beginnings to become a full time commercial FM station in the city. The New Zealand LPFM Radio Guide at www.radioheritage.net is the only guide of its kind available to the hundreds of LPFM radio stations currently on the air across the country. It's updated as new information becomes available, sometimes daily, and can be searched by the brand name of the station, frequency or location. We maintain it because LPFM is a vital part of New Zealand's broadcasting heritage, and even the entries from now silent stations remain a testament to someone's dream or effort' says David Ricquish. It's important to recognize the stations that have been as well as those that continue, and we're now looking forward to reaching 1,500 listings as LPFM continues to serve listeners and communities across New Zealand...and increasingly reach global audiences via internet streaming LPFM stations and listeners are invited to check the current guide to make sure the information is current for their local area. Updates can be emailed to i...@radioheritage.net and will be received with thanks. __ Radio Heritage Foundation is a registered non-profit organization connecting popular culture, nostalgia and radio heritage across the Pacific.

[HCDX] China dominates new PAL AM Radio Guide
Media Release Radio Heritage Foundation www.radioheritage.net China dominates Asia-Pacific AM radio dial in latest PAL Radio Guide China has almost a third of all AM radio stations currently broadcasting in the entire Asia-Pacific region today says the Radio Heritage Foundation. In the latest PAL AM Radio Log at www.radioheritage.net, there are almost 1,400 AM stations listed as on the air in China, out of some 4,800 stations across the entire region. In fact, just five countries account for 70% of all AM broadcasters in the region, with China follwed by Japan, Indonesia, Australia and the Philippines. These are in addition to the many thousands of FM radio stations that are generally more popular with younger listeners today. Despite contemporary digital radio and decades of FM, the fact that so many AM stations remain on the air is clear evidence that life remains in the almost century old AM technology, even in modern technology mad China. However, the outlook is bleak for 13 of the 55 countries in the latest PAL Radio Guide, where only one AM radio station now remains on the air. In the Pacific there is just one AM radio station left in the Cook Islands, French Polynesia, Kiribati, the Marianas, Marshall Islands, Norfolk Island, Palau and Tonga, whilst American Samoa's only AM station has been 'temporarily' off the air for some time. In addition, Micronesia, New Caledonia, Samoa and Vanuatu each have only two AM stations left so it's become a very fragile world of AM radio across most of the Pacific where strong AM signals are needed in emergencies such as recent earthquakes, tsunamis and cyclones. Unfortunately, many of the Pacific island stations also operate on reduced power because of high imported oil costs, have rusting towers and old equipment and in the outer Solomon Islands, it's a choice between homes having power or the local radio station going on the air. The PAL Radio Guides are available for free at www.radioheritage.net and the new PAL AM Radio Guide contains some 50,000 individual data entries for the 4,800 listed stations. This resource is supported by volunteer monitors across the region and updates and new monitors are always welcome. Radio Heritage Foundation is a registered non-profit organization connecting popular culture, nostalgia and radio heritage across the Pacific. For fresh features, images, audio, PAL Radio Guides and much more, visit our global website www.radioheritage.net. Donations to support our activities are gratefully welcomed. ---[Start Commercial]- Order your WRTH 2009: http://www.hard-core-dx.com/redirect2.php?id=wrth2009 ---[End Commercial]--- Hard-Core-DX mailing list Hard-Core-DX@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/hard-core-dx http://www.hard-core-dx.com/ ___ THE INFORMATION IN THIS ARTICLE IS FREE.

[HCDX] Australia 1611-1701 AM Radio Guide Released
Media Release Radio Heritage Foundation www.radioheritage.net Australian AM Radio 1611-1701 Italian, Country, Arabic, Greek and Gold Almost 70 low power stations are now broadcasting in Australia's expanded AM radio dial almost two decades after the new channels became available says the Radio Heritage Foundation which has released a contemporary guide to them at www.radioheritage.net. Originally populated by ethnic broadcasters and niche formats, the situation remains little unchanged in 2009 as attempts to bring the low cost extra frequencies into mainstream media have largely failed to materialize. Existing commercial broadcasters saw these licences as a dangerously cheap back door into digital broadcasting and lobbied strongly to exclude 1611-1701 AM stations from digital entitlements. Coupled with poor availability of AM radios able to tune to the new frequencies, attempts by commercial aspirants like Radio 2 to establish economics of scale and a nationwide network collapsed. In 2009, the major players on air are Rete Italia [part of the Italian Media publishing and media group], Radio 16 The Goanna [a fledgling country music network co-owned with 2ME an Arabic language station], Smart Group's Hot Country from Queensland, whilst a small foothold in the band has been claimed by Queensland based Christian network Vision FM. A small cluster of independent stations air a variation on the 'Gold' music format of 1960's hits popular with babyboomers, two Greek language stations compete for listeners in Sydney, and a handful of other stations serve ethnic markets for Chinese, Hindi, Arabic, Islamic and Lebanese Christian audiences. A large number of licences held in the 1611-1701 AM band have remained silent for many years and are unlikely to ever come on air. The Radio Heritage Foundation has released a detailed list of Australian stations currently operating in the 1611-1701 AM band together with analysis of this fascinating and little known broadcasting landscape. It's currently available as a downloadable Word document at www.radioheritage.net and will be updated regularly.

[HCDX] New RNZI Radio Heritage Documentary - Surviving Tsunamis
Media Release Radio Heritage Foundation www.radioheritage.net RNZI Airs New Radio Heritage Documentary 'Surviving Tsunamis' Radio in the Pacific Ring of Fire Join us from Monday October 19 2009 when we air our new radio heritage documentary about surviving tsunamis in the South Pacific on the next Radio New Zealand International [RNZI] Mailbox program. You can listen directly via shortwave or audio on demand [for the following month] with full details of broadcast frequencies and times in your area and audio download at www.rnzi.com. The recent tsunamis in Samoa, American Samoa and Tonga brought forward brave dedication to duty from several radio stations, and the program includes an interview with the morning DJ at KKHJ-FM in Pago Pago who was trapped in the studios as the waves smashed into the ground floor of her building. However, as the program explains, it's by pure luck that the radio station studios in Pago Pago and Apia weren't swept out to sea, their buildings being totally exposed to the Pacific. Across the Pacific, other radio station studios and facilities are at sea level and wouldn't stand a chance if the wrong tsunami hit in the wrong place. Both Vanuatu and the Solomon Islands also had major earthquakes and tsunami warnings within hours. Radio everywhere is an extremely fragile lifeline. The program also looks at the problem of most local Pacific radio stations broadcasting in local languages. Yet local economies increasingly depend on tourists. When emergency strikes, tourists are told to listen to the local radio for instructions. In Samoa, the only two English speaking stations were no longer broadcasting live, and hundreds of tourists had no idea what was happening, as the only live broadcast they could hear was completely in Samoan. Just how fragile the broadcasting infrastructure is and how vulnerable local residents and tourists alike can be in an earthquake, tsunami or cyclone in the Pacific Ring of Fire is discussed. Join David Ricquish of the Radio Heritage Foundation as we celebrate the bravery of Pacific broadcasters and warn of the dangers facing the islands in future natural disasters. A full list of AM radio stations broadcasting in the Pacific is available free in the Pacific Asian Log AM Radio Guide at www.radioheritage.net, where you'll also learn more about broadcasting in these beautiful but vulnerable islands in features from our Island Radio Pacific Style series. RNZI's Mailbox program from Monday October 19 2009, via shortwave and audio on demand with full times and schedules online at www.rnzi.com.

[HCDX] Samoan Radio Survives Tsunami - Media Release from Radio Heritage Foundation
Media Release Radio Heritage Foundation www.radioheritage.net _ Samoan Radio Survives Tsunami Brave Broadcasters Defy Danger _ The recent earthquake and devastating tsunami affecting Samoa, American Samoa and northern Tonga brought forward several shining examples of radio broadcasting dedication in the face of extreme danger says the Radio Heritage Foundation. KKHJ-FM activates emergency warnings In Pago Pago, American Samoa, the morning DJ at KKHJ-FM felt the earthquake and activated emergency warnings immediately. Lupe Lohmann then broadcast calls for residents to head for higher ground and by the time she realized that a tsunami was heading up Pago Pago harbor towards the studios, it was too late for her to leave. She stayed on the air as surging waters smashed into the ground floor of the Pago Pago Plaza, home of KKHJ-FM. You can hear her interview with the BBC describing the events at www.newsbbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/8281616.stm and look at photos of the devastation caused by the tsunami at the KKHJ-FM website [www.khjradio.com ]where you can also listen to KKHJ-FM streaming live and see more images of the temporary studios being used at the transmitter site. Pago Pago FM Towers ___ For images of the KKHJ-FM tower high above Pago Pago visit www.radioheritage.net and click on the article 'Pago Pago Tower Tour'. Other features about American Samoan radio can be found at the same website - 'WVUV Radio Romance' and 'This is WVUV'. According to the World Radio TV Handbook [www.wrth.com] there are five FM stations on the air in American Samoa [population 61,400] and in addition to KKHJ-FM, live streaming is currently available from KSBS [www.ksbsfm92.com] and KNWJ-FM [www.fm104.org]. 2AP 540 AM stays on the air ___ Across in independent Samoa, another DJ also stayed on duty as the earthquake struck the islands. Radio 2AP broadcasts at 540AM from sea level near the capital, Apia, and Epati Tamati felt the earthquake and also realized a tsunami was likely. He also chose to stay on the air, accepting hundreds of calls from worried and frightened listeners and broadcasting emergency messages. You can see a photo of Epati inside the 2AP studios and read his story in the article 'Radio Man Risks Life for Listeners' in the October 7 edition of The New Zealand Herald newspaper online at www.nzherald.co.nz. Radio Polynesia moves to the hills __ Olga Keil of Radio Polynesia in Apia is also reported on the BBC Asia-Pacific website with her comments about the earthquake. You can find this story at www.newsbbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/8282115.stm and find out more about the four stations of Radio Polynesia at www.fmradio.ws. Since the earthquake, the staff have been broadcasting from makeshift studios in the hills behind Apia, close to their transmitter complex. According to the World Radio TV Handbook [www.wrth.com] there are one AM and eight FM stations on the air in Samoa [population 178,000] but none of the local stations currently stream services online. The Radio Heritage Foundation recommends reading the following features about radio in Samoa at its website www.radioheritage.net: 'Radio in Samoa', 'Samoan Radio Sale', 'ZMAP Apia Samoa' and 'Samoan Radio Journey' for more information about 2AP, Radio Polynesia and other stations. RNZI Pacific Coverage _ We also recommend staying tuned to Radio New Zealand International [www.rnzi.com] for breaking Pacific news and live reports from reporters in Samoa, American Samoa and Tonga as tsunami reconstruction continues. _ Radio Heritage Foundation is a registered non-profit organization connecting popular culture, nostalgia and radio heritage across the Pacific.

[HCDX] Japan AM Radio Dial 1941 - Radio Heritage Media Release
Media Release Radio Heritage Foundation www.radioheritage.net Japan AM Radio Dial 1941 Listening on the Eve of WWII The dramatic story by a lady was broadcast at that time' wrote JOFK Radio in Hiroshima, Japan when confirming reception of its broadcasts at the other end of the Pacific during the 1930's. This postcard is one of many rare images forming part of a new feature exploring the Japanese AM Radio Dial in December 1941 and recently released by the Radio Heritage Foundation at www.radioheritage.net. In fact, many Japanese radio stations carefully cultivated foreign listeners through this period, at the same time as the Japan Travel Bureau advertised in America's National Geographic Magazine 'More for your dollars...thanks to the yen' and encouraged readers to travel by the mail liners of NYK to visit the modernising Japan. On the eve of war, some 73 million Japanese enjoyed entertainment from almost 50 local radio stations, including English language lessons and physical exercise sessions. The Radio Heritage Foundation details all of the stations on air, including photos of studios, radio personalities and technical facilities in this new feature at www.radioheritage.net. So why did some Japanese radio stations include the exact geographic co-ordinates of their transmitters and towers in correspondence to foreign listeners? Whilst this question remains unanswered, it is a fact that American occupation forces were able to take over many undamaged and substantial radio station facilities. The feature even includes a previously unknown image of the joint signage outside the undamaged JOBK and WVTQ studios in downtown Osaka. For students of social history and those interested in radio heritage, 'Japan AM Radio Dial 1941' presents a fascinating glimpse into what ordinary Japanese people listened to on the radio on the eve of WWII. This is the second in a series examining the radio broadcasting situation and its context in Asia in 1941 - the other being 'Shanghai Radio Dial 1941' also found at www.radioheritage.net.

[HCDX] More Australian Heritage AM Radio - Radio Heritage Media Release
Media Release Radio Heritage Foundation www.radioheritage.net More Australian Heritage AM Radio 7DY Derby and the Queensland Network The 7DY Sunpolisher's Club had a membership of '2,900 juveniles' according to the latest in the popular series of Long Lost Australian Radio Stars hosted by the Radio Heritage Foundation at www.radioheritage.net. For listeners to the 'North Eastern unit of the Tasmanian Coastal Network' between 1938-1954, Cliff Parish could be heard as the night announcer, Jean Rainbird in the afternoons and Chas. Saunders 'the local picture theater proprietor' handled the outside broadcasts. 7DY Derby ceased to exist in 1954 yet you can still visit the studios today, as this new feature about Australian Heritage AM Radio stations explains. In another new feature at www.radioheritage.net, the Queensland Network was reaching 700,000 people of the state's total population of 1 million in the mid-1940's. Centered on 4BC Brisbane with its 'powerful country relay station' 4SB at Kingaroy, the Five Station Queensland Network supplied 'the best drama, radio serials, music and sport' across the region. Other stations included in the feature are 4GR Toowoomba, 4RO Rockhampton and 4MB Maryborough, and you'll enjoy old photos of the original wooden 4MB tower being taken by horse-drawn cart through Maryborough, original studio views from 4RO and the very tall radio tower of 4BC at Indooroopilly as well as some sophisticated coverage maps from the era. These two new releases bring to thirty the number of features currently included in the Long Lost Australian Radio Stars series at www.radioheritage.net, now easily found by looking for the 'It's Always Showtime at 2CH' color image on every page. If you have your own memories, memorabilia and more you'd like to share about 7DY Derby or any of the other stations featured, the Radio Heritage Foundation wants to hear from you.

Depends on how old the PD is of course, but it's because nostalgia has a market! Seriously, did you notice the recent passing of Michael Jackson unearthed countless hours of Michael Jackson 'specials', with audio dredged from archives and vaults everywhere...one station even rebranded itself in his memoryand listeners tuned in by the millions to hear the music, and the station advertisers.yessir, nostalgia has a market.

[HCDX] Radio Sangley, Philippines - Radio Heritage Media Release
Media Release Radio Heritage Foundation www.radioheritage.net ___ Welcome to KTLG Sangley Point AFRS Radio in the Philippines ___ Welcome to KTLG Sangley Point' - with these words a new member of the Armed Forces Radio Service signed on to serve Sangley Point Naval Station near Manila in the Philippines in the early 1950's. The Radio Heritage Foundation has released two new features at its global website www.radioheritage.net about this little known radio station that began as a converted aircraft transmitter but grew to become an essential part of Sangley Point daily life for many years. Louis McClure remembers in 'Starting Radio Sangley' that 'we decided to build a carrier current transmitter and to broadcast music and news on the station' and that within a short time, reports of reception 35 miles away at Subic Bay were becoming regular. Known simply as 'Radio Sangley' the makeshift station cost only $14 to build, this money spent on a 45 RPM turntable to play the latest hits from the USA. The station could not broadcast a stable signal, and a common announcement from the DJ was 'Don't touch that dial! Wait a minute and we'll drift back into you'! In 'KTLG Radio Sangley', Matt McGuigan continues the story of the station at which when he arrived used a long wire antenna between the tops of the quonset hut it was located in and a nearby water tower. In the feature at www.radioheritage.net you'll learn how AFRS Los Angeles sent $45,000 worth of new equipment and the call letters KTLG were approved locally in 1953, a far cry from just a few years earlier when Louis built the original station with just $14. As well as photos of the new station facilities, you'll also enjoy a rare recording of the opening announcement of KTLG Sangley Point, Armed Forces Radio Service, 1300 AM in the Philippines. These memories are shared as part of the Radio Heritage Foundation ongoing project to preserve, protect and remember radio heritage from around the Pacific. At www.radioheritage.net you'll find a large number of other features celebrating the Armed Forces Radio Service contribution to broadcasting in the region.

Media Release Radio Heritage Foundation www.radioheritage.net ___ WASA McMurdo, FM 100 The Voice of Antarctica The Most Wonderful Antarctic Station Anywhere ___ Bob Flint, Station Manager of WASA McMurdo during the 1972 winter season, shares extracts from his personal diary in the latest feature about radio in Antarctica just released by the Radio Heritage Foundation at www.radioheritage.net. You'll learn of the trials and tribulations of running a radio station in one of the most challenging environments on earth. Obstacles included isolation, the weather, demolishing of studio facilities and a commanding officer who ordered the morale boosting station off the air. In a short one year period, WASA moved from 600 AM to 100 FM, lurching briefly into MUGR [McMurdo Under Ground Radio] and WRFM [Radio Free McMurdo] along the way. Bob has also dug deeply into his personal photo collection to share a range of images of the station studio, DJ's on the air, station signage, an interview with 'National Review' founder and journalist William F Buckley Jnr and much more that you'll enjoy today at www.radioheritage.net. The first live Antarctic sports broadcast, live coverage of moon landings, and the first live broadcast from the USA are just some of the highlights in our new feature 'WASA McMurdo, Antarctica'. This is the second in a series about broadcasting in the Antarctic presented by the Radio Heritage Foundation as part of its ongoing project to preserve, protect and remember radio heritage from around the Pacific region. You'll also enjoy 'Antarctic Radio Unfreezes' at www.radioheritage.net for coverage of other stations on the Ice Continent. If you have your own memories, memorabilia and more to share about broadcasting at McMurdo and elsewhere in the Antarctic, we'd very much like to hear from you.

[HCDX] Samoa Samoa - Radio Heritage Media Release
Media Release Radio Heritage Foundation www.radioheritage.net _ Samoa Samoa Samoan Radio Journey ZMAP Apia, Samoa tell more stories _ The Radio Heritage Foundation continues to expand its coverage of Samoan radio media history with the release of two new features at its global website www.radioheritage.net. 'While in Apia, I decided to start a radio station' confided former RNZAF [Royal NZ Air Force] technician Alan Roycroft when reminiscing about his early days in Pacific radio. You'll read about nightly dance band broadcasts from the back porch of the famous Aggie Greys hotel, Alan's network of 'news spies' around Apia and learn the reason why, in some 120 studio installations from then on, he always positioned the console so that the announcer sat facing the door. What started as a converted aeronautical beacon broadcasting 'AP AP AP' as the identification for Apia, became 'pirate radio' ZMAP and later gave birth to the familiar 2AP known fondly by generations of Samoans. A mid-1990's 'Samoan Radio Journey' is another new feature at www.radioheritage.net. 'We turned a corner on the Cross Island Road, and there sat a stumpy little radio tower, almost hidden in the misty rain'. A personal exploration of the broadcasting scene in Samoa at the time describes how the local audiences embraced popular culture from around the Pacific via their radio sets and TV screens. Both stories include unique images of radio facilities and historic radio memorabilia from around Samoa, and build on a growing number of features about Samoa and American Samoa already on-line at www.radioheritage.net. As well as ZMAP Apia, Samoa and Samoan Radio Journey, you'll enjoy Samoan Radio Sale [backgrounding the sale of 2AP Radio], Radio in Samoa [including 5ZA Apia from the 1930's], This is WVUV [memories from a WVUV Pago Pago DJ] and WVUV Radio Romance [personal memories of the US sailor who fell in love and built the original WVUV Radio during WWII].

[HCDX] KYOI SuperRock Saipan - Radio Heritage Media Release
Media Release Radio Heritage Foundation www.radioheritage.net KYOI SuperRock Saipan The Station That Rocked Japan's Airwaves In December 1982, millions of Japanese teenagers suddenly had a new pop music radio station targeted directly at them, playing the latest hits from LA, and sounding like nothing before on their airwaves. The Radio Heritage Foundation has released two new features at its global website www.radioheritage.net that cover the story of this remarkable station that rocked the radio dial across Japan. This was KYOI broadcasting from Saipan in the Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas, and what made this station so different, was that it used shortwave signals to reach their transistor radios. Brainchild of Lawrence S Berger, Hawaiian based radio entrepreneur, KYOI was designed to fill a niche radio market created by the sudden popularity of radio listening amongst Japanese teenagers. Our two new features 'The KYOI Story' and 'SuperRock KYOI Saipan' take you inside the powerful shortwave station that was programmed from Los Angeles, consulted from Tokyo, managed from Honolulu and broadcast from Saipan. Read what Berger himself had to say about his US$4m gamble, how programs such as 'New Rock Special' recorded by KROQ-FM Los Angeles were beamed to this new Japanese market, and how 'new music from LA' became part of the Japanese youth culture of the times. You'll also hear audio extracts from KYOI, the shortwave station that busted the myth that all shortwave stations were boring, with their endless propaganda and political harangues covering the increasingly deserted shortwave dial. Here, suddenly, was the latest pop and rock music from across the Pacific in California, blasting through the static. Initially popular in Japan and supported by big name advertisers like Sony, KYOI gained fans and listeners around the world to whom this contemporary music was a complete breath of fresh air across the shortwave dial. 'The KYOI Story' and 'SuperRock KYOI Saipan' our two new features at www.radioheritage.net as part of our continuing radio heritage project to share the stories of Pacific radio. What happened to KYOI? What's the connection with the Christian Science Monitor. All this and more are revealed in these well illustrated features that you can now enjoy with us. Have you got KYOI memories or memorabilia of your own? You'll find our contact details at www.radioheritage.net and we'd like to hear from you.

[HCDX] FW: New RNZI Radio Heritage Documentary - 55 Years of Radio Fiji
Media Release Radio Heritage Foundation www.radioheritage.net RNZI Airs New Radio Heritage Documentary 55 Years of Radio Fiji July 1 1954-2009 Join us from June 15 2009 when the Radio Heritage Foundation airs a new radio heritage documentary on the Radio New Zealand International [RNZI] Mailbox program. You can listen via shortwave or audio on demand [for the following month] with full details of frequencies and times and audio download at www.rnzi.com. The program celebrates 55 years since the original Fiji Broadcasting Commission signed on the air for the first time on July 1 1954. From VPD on shortwave and ZJV on mediumwave since 1936, Fiji has enjoyed one of the most sophisticated radio broadcasting markets in the Pacific. In World War II an American Armed Forces Radio station [WVUT] also broadcast from Nadi, home of the main airport in the islands. The [then] New Zealand Broadcasting Service was heavily involved with the establishment of the Fiji Broadcasting Commission. It supplied almost the entire expatriate staff on secondment from New Zealand commercial and non-commercial stations, carried out the technical work across the islands, built the broadcasting house, and provided good guidance for the new independent public broadcaster. In fact, on the opening night on July 1 1954, the new FBC chairman spoke what have turned out to be highly prophetic words: This broadcasting service will certainly provide entertainment, but it will not be the government's idea of what should divert us. It will offer programs of information and enlightenment, but these programs will not be the government's conception of what we should hear. In the light of recent events in Fiji where the media no longer enjoys such freedoms, it's interesting to note that such a warning was being sounded those 55 years ago. At the time, Fiji was a British Crown Colony, and this was a new experiment for the colonial authorities. The rest of the opening celebrations for the FBC included Fijian choirs, Indian music clubs, the Fiji Infantry Regiment Band, pianists, violinists and even the Suva Group Theater. For a timely look back at the birth of free public broadcasting in Fiji those 55 years ago, as well as some fabulous Fijian music, visit www.rnzi.com today and download the audio from the June 15 edition of Mailbox. Join David Ricquish of the Radio Heritage Foundation on this journey back to Suva on the night of July 1 1954, and also hear more excerpts from the opening speeches, and the song that ended that very first FBC broadcast. This new radio heritage documentary on RNZI complements existing stories about early radio ZJV in Fiji online today at www.radioheritage.net. A new article on 55 Years of the Fiji Broadcasting Commission will be online shortly.

[HCDX] Early Argentine Radio - Radio Heritage Media Release
Media Release Radio Heritage Foundation www.radioheritage.net __ Early Argentine Radio From Parsifal to Peron The Pacific Connection ___ The Radio Heritage Foundation has released a new article reviewing the book 'From Parsifal to Peron' by Robert H Claxton at its global website www.radioheritage.net. Argentina began radio broadcasting in 1920, and its early history was based around radio amateurs who pushed new boundaries every day, proving that radio heritage is globally connected, and unable to be viewed just in the context of one nation's story. By 1924, Argentina and New Zealand had set a joint world record for long distance radio broadcasting, and the article includes a photo of the equipment used to connect the two countries across the Pacific. The article critically reviews this story of the early days of non-commercial radio in Argentina, and how radio radiated from Buenos Aires across the provinces, and very early on, across the Americas and to the world. Using images from collections in New Zealand, Argentina and the USA, the article at www.radioheritage.net brings color to the story of early Argentine radio, again confirming how Argentina soon became an important international broadcasting nation. Many Argentine radio stations have been heard across the Pacific since the 1920's says the Radio Heritage Foundation, and we believe this is a story worth telling. We plan to expand our Argentine and South American radio heritage content in the near future. 'Parsifal to Peron' by Robert H Claxton does a good job explaining how radio became so popular in Argentina, and because it is written in English, it broadens the audience beyond Argentines themselves. We warmly recommend this article at www.radioheritage.net to all those interested in Argentine media, and those who want to understand a little more about how Argentine radio developed in an international context. Amongst the images are art work from LR1 Radio El Mundo, LS2 Radio Prieto, LR5 Radio Excelsior and even a brochure promoting 'El Cuando' from the Argentine Dance Series issued by the Argentine International Broadcasting Services in the mid-1930's. Radio Heritage Foundation is a registered non-profit connecting popular culture and radio heritage across the Pacific. Our global website is www.radioheritage.net and we are based in Wellington, New Zealand. We welcome donations of funds, volunteers and materials to help build our radio heritage projects preserving the past for future generations to enjoy. ---[Start Commercial]- Order your WRTH 2009: http://www.hard-core-dx.com/redirect2.php?id=wrth2009 ---[End Commercial]--- Hard-Core-DX mailing list Hard-Core-DX@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/hard-core-dx http://www.hard-core-dx.com/ ___ THE INFORMATION IN THIS ARTICLE IS FREE.

[HCDX] Antarctic Radio Unfreezes - Radio Heritage Media Release
Media Release Radio Heritage Foundation www.radioheritage.net _ Antarctic Radio Unfreezes Global Warming Hits the Dial! _ The Radio Heritage Foundation has now released an introductory guide to broadcasting in Antarctica at its global website www.radioheritage.net and with some four stations at McMurdo Station alone, it seems 'global warming' is now unfreezing the Antarctic radio dial. 'Antarctic Radio Unfreezes' journeys back to AFRS radio station WASA 600 AM at McMurdo and traces broadcasting through the American Forces Antarctic Network [AFAN] on shortwave 6012 through to today's Ice FM 104.5.where old vinyls have kept on spinning for a new audience. Local 'pirate' station 88.7 FM is heard whilst cruising around Mactown, and along the ice highway linking McMurdo with New Zealand's nearby Scott Base, techno music from Radio Scott Base 97.0 FM can blast away the icicles. Even deep down at the South Pole, it's KOLD 87.5 FM and across the continent, stations as diverse as Radio W.I.L.K.E.S, LRA36 Radio Nacional Arcangel San Gabriel, Soberamia FM, and Radio Ker 98.0 FM keep scientists and support staff entertained and informed through the seasons of snow and ice. This well illustrated article at www.radioheritage.net helps shine the light on little known radio stations across the entire 'ice' and may even result in more stations being discovered. Not all stations mentioned may still be on the air. With all kinds of music coming from over 10 radio stations, volunteer DJ's, a Wells Fargo Bank ATM, increasing numbers of adventure travellers, cafes, and more trappings of 'civilization' the Antarctic of today is very different from when explorers barely a century ago first stepped ashore. For a fascinating and unique look at radio broadcasting in the Antarctic, we warmly recommend your visiting 'Antarctic Radio Unfreezes' today at www.radioheritage.net. _ Radio Heritage Foundation is a registered non-profit organization connecting popular culture and radio heritage across the Pacific.

[HCDX] AFRS Mosquito Network - Radio Heritage Media Release
Media Release Radio Heritage Foundation www.radioheritage.net US Armed Forces Radio WWII The Famous Mosquito Network Celebrating 65 Years The Radio Heritage Foundation has released a major new series of three articles at its global website www.radioheritage.net telling the story of the famous Mosquito Network that broadcast in the South Pacific in WWII. Some 65 years ago, the American Expeditionary Station at Guadalcanal in the British Solomon Islands Protectorate came on the air. In the following 18 months, the later renamed WVUQ entertained hundreds of thousands of allied forces who moved through the spawling military complex on the island. In these three articles, you'll learn how the Mosquito Network got its name, see how the various stations [as far south as 1ZM Auckland, New Zealand] were actually set up and run on a daily basis, read about the famous Hollywood stars of stage and screen who featured on the air and in person in remote jungle outposts, and understand just how important the stations were to the morale of allied forces. The series is authored by Radio Heritage Foundation board member Martin Hadlow, who interviewed many of the surviving broadcasters personally, and had access to historical AFRS documents. Martin is also a former manager of the Solomon Islands Broadcasting Service and understands radio broadcasting in a tropical zone from personal experience. These new articles at www.radioheritage.net outline the birth of radio broadcasting in the Solomons and Vanuatu [then the New Hebrides], from mobile radio stations in suitcases, to fully fledged 18 hours a day operations as good as any found anywhere in the USA in the 1940's. It also answers the question as to whether or not the Mosquito Network was really a network at any time, or were the stations always independently operated. Amazing what can be done with good radio conditions! This is a major contribution to understanding how early broadcasting actually came to many parts of the Pacific for the first time with the US Armed Forces Radio Service in the mid-1940's. WVUQ staff also recorded local music and broadcast programs for Solomon Islanders. You'll also enjoy our earlier major articles at www.radioheritage.net on AFRS Jungle Network and AFRS Japan, whose stories are so strongly connected to those of the Mosquito Network. As well, there are other articles on AFRS Alaska and individual stations such as WVUV American Samoa, KMTH Midway, WXLE Eniwetok, WXLF Canton Island and other AFRS stations in Alaska and the Pacific. ___ Radio Heritage Foundation is a registered non-profit organization connecting popular culture and radio heritage across the Pacific.

[HCDX] Fiji Shuts Down Foreign FM Relays
__ Fiji Military Shuts Down Foreign FM Relays __ The current media crisis in Fiji deepened earlier today [April 15] when Radio Fiji technicians accompanied by armed soldiers shut down the two local FM relay transmitters of Radio Australia. The local relays [Nadi on the western side of Viti Levu island and Suva on the eastern side] both broadcast on 92.6 FM and carried 24/7 broadcasts from Radio Australia in Melbourne. The main international airport is located at Nadi, and the relay also served tourists in the popular resort areas nearby. Suva is the capital. The closure of the Radio Australia FM relays currently leaves just the BBC and Radio France International FM relays as independent news sources for residents and visitors alike apart from shortwave broadcasts. Military personnel are stationed in newsrooms of local radio stations, many of which are operated by the state broadcaster Radio Fiji. News bulletins are censored under an emergency decree issued over Easter weekend, and no negative items about the new interim government or its activities are permitted. Radio Australia and Radio New Zealand International continue to serve Fiji with shortwave broadcasts. It's not yet clear if popular RNZI news programs such as 'Dateline Pacific' will still be carried on local AM and FM stations without local censorship in Fiji. According to the Radio Heritage Foundation, Radio Fiji operates six separate radio channels, the main private competitor another five channels, and a variety of other local FM stations operate mainly from studios in Suva. The closure of the Radio Australia local FM relays in Fiji is a set back for the broadcaster, which has been expanding its Asian and Pacific FM network. It recently claimed high levels of local listenership to these relays. According to RNZI, internet cafe owners in Fiji are also reported to be closed down as their operations are investigated by government officials. A number of blog sites carrying negative comments about the interim government have received widespread publicity in recent days. Currently, people in Fiji can still listen to foreign news broadcasts via shortwave or from some of the more powerful local AM stations in Australia and New Zealand that can be heard at night. Relays of Radio Australia and RNZI news from Radio Tonga [1017 AM] and 2AP Samoa [540 AM] may also be heard at night in some parts of Fiji. The Indian language Radio Tarana station in Auckland [NZ] broadcasting in Hindi at 1386 AM is often well received at night throughout Fiji. Internet streaming of Radio Australia broadcasts can be received in Fiji as well, so long as the local ISP operations remain open. The Fiji military is reported to be considering shutting down non-government internet access. Fiji TV has already had to curtail news bulletins after initially defying the military, and the situation regarding relays of satellite delivered TV news channels channels via local rebroadcasters remains unclear. Individuals with satellite dishes are probably still able to use them, at least for now. The situation regarding amateur radio operations is also unclear. There are no reports of clandestine radio broadcasts attempting to circumvent the military crackdown on media news coverage.

[HCDX] New On the Air - RNZI Radio Heritage Documentary
New On the Air __ A new Radio Heritage Foundation documentary looking back at how new radio stations signed on the air in New Zealand since the 1970's can be heard as audio on demand from RNZI for the Mailbox program of January 25 2009 at www.rnzi.com. Featuring many recordings of announcements and jingles, the program includes Radio Hauraki starting its first legal broadcast on 1480, a promotional program with rare jingles from 1XI Radio i 1590, jingles from Radio Avon 1290, Radio Otago 1210, Radio 1XX 1240, and jingles and announcements from several new FM stations in Hamilton and Whangarei as well as a zany wake up special from long time DJ Muzza Inglis on a long gone Auckland FM station. The program explores how early private radio in New Zealand promised to serve local communities, and connects these lofty ideals with the new BIG 106.2 FM local FM station that recently began serving Auckland City. It also draws heavily on private radio archives to which the Radio Heritage Foundation now increasingly has access. Listeners will also enjoy visiting www.radioheritage.net to see the very popular article 'NZ Radio Dial 1978' that features many of the stations in the documentary, with logos, station lists and expert commentary on the Kiwi radio scene that year. 'New On the Air' is part of the ongoing Kiwi Radio Campaign undertaken by the Radio Heritage Foundation that has now rescued thousands of items of radio ephemera from around the country. The Radio Heritage Foundation is a registered non-profit organization connecting radio heritage and popular culture across the Pacific. Visit www.radioheritage.net to see hundreds of articles, photos and much more, including the popular Pacific Asian Log Radio Guides and the NZ Low Power FM Radio Guide. You can support the radio heritage programs of the Radio Heritage Foundation by donations, materials, radio memorabilia and ephemera, and your time and goodwill.

_ Radio Heritage Interview HCJB Quito, Ecuador _ A major new interview about the work of the Radio Heritage Foundation can be heard as audio on demand from HCJB for the DX Partyline program of January 30 2009 at www.hcjb.org. Host Allen Graham in the Quito studios talks with Radio Heritage Foundation chairman David Ricquish about how the Pacific wide radio heritage preservation project got started, its progress, and the importance of making such an effort to protect and preserve the stories of radio. Since going live on line some 5 years ago, the website www.radioheritage.net has received millions of visitors, page views and hits from some 125+ countries, and has become a popular free resource for researchers, students, people in the broadcasting industry, radio listeners and enthusiasts and increasingly, genealogists. In the same period, thousands of original items of radio memorabilia have been saved from damage or loss, hundreds of original articles and photos placed on line, some 30 major radio heritage documentaries researched and broadcast over RNZI, and much more. Amongst the international board members that help give the Radio Heritage Foundation its unique global perspective on radio heritage issues are well known broadcasters Dr Adrian Peterson [Adventist World Radio], Jonathan Marks [previously with Radio Netherlands] and Martin Hadlow [until recently with UNESCO]. The Radio Heritage Foundation is a registered non-profit organization connecting radio heritage and popular culture across the Pacific. Visit www.radioheritage.net to learn more about its current activities and programs, and to find out how you can get involved. You can also support the radio heritage programs by donations, materials, radio memorabilia and ephemera, and your time and goodwill. These are challenging times financially for all heritage preservation projects, and your donation will help save our Pacific radio heritage for future generations.

[HCDX] New Zealand's ZLXA 3935 Shortwave Goes Silent
___ New Zealand's ZLXA 3935 Goes Silent ___ We've just heard that New Zealand shortwave station, ZLXA of the Radio Reading Service, is about to permanently sign off the air. In fact, it has already been silent since December 1 2008 and, as the following message from Kelvin Brayshaw [QSL Manager] says, the chances of it returning, except for a last special broadcast for DXers, are very unlikely. Subject: Radio Reading Service -ZLXA 3935 kHz Date: Fri, 16 Jan 2009 15:44:53 +1300 From: Kelvin Brayshaw I'm sorry to have to tell you that, in all probability, the shortwave service of the Radio Reading Service will soon be discontinued. ZLXA, 3935kHz, has been in abeyance since 1st December 2008 pending the result of a listener survey and the consideration of cost-effectiveness. The final outcome is expected to be advised following deliberations by management at the first board meeting of the year - probably in February. I feel there will be members of SWL groups who might appreciate an opportunity to log this transmitter one last time during the northern winter, and I'm sure that if you were to make a special request on behalf of shortwave listeners, RRS management would, in a continuing spirit of goodwill, consider marking an event of such significance to the worldwide DX community by resuming transmission for a brief period. In the meantime Radio Reading Service programmes are streaming on the Internet. 73 Best DX Kelvin Brayshaw QSL Manager According to the Radio Heritage Foundation [www.radioheritage.net] you can contact ZLXA Radio Reading Service by email: i...@radioreading.org, or by mail to PO Box 360, Levin, New Zealand. The website is www.radioreading.org where you can learn more about the Shortwave Survey, about new technology options to reach listeners, and also learn more about the services provided by the station to its listeners in New Zealand. Until last month, ZLXA broadcast with 1kw on 3935 kHz shortwave. Here at the Radio Heritage Foundation, we share the disappointment of many international listeners to this news. However, we also understand the issues facing the Radio Reading Service board of management that are leading up to this decision. We encourage radio listeners worldwide to take advantage of this offer by the station to make one more shortwave broadcast before leaving the air and to stay tuned for more information as to the date and time of this last broadcast.

[HCDX] Radio Heritage Christmas 2008 News
In case you didn't see this recent newsletter, here it is again! Many thanks to those who've already responded with updates for the PAL Radio Guides, book orders and donations towards our radio heritage work. If you also get more than one copy, please bear with us, we manually maintain our mailing lists! Happy Holidays! _ Radio Heritage Foundation Christmas 2008 Newsletter _ Bangkok Crisis __ If you were one of hundreds of thousands of tourists stuck in Bangkok in the past few weeks, and told to listen to local radio to stay informed, how would you know where to find a station with programs in other than Thai? Our PAL AM Radio Guide would have directed you to 918 AM for English, French, Chinese and Japanese programs including hourly BBC News. Just one of the benefits of using one of the free radio guide services at our website www.radioheritage.net, and one we know we have to upgrade in 2009 with the addition of our much delayed PAL FM Radio Guide. Floods, tsunamis, earthquakes, coups, riots, terrorists and civil disturbance are all possible in the region, making it so important to know where to quickly find a local radio station with information in English that could save your life. _ Yes we can upgrade our radio guides. Here's how you can help! _ Can we do more to improve our PAL Radio Guides? Yes, we can! Can you help us? Yes, you can! Here's howemail us if you find out of date or plain wrong data in our guides, tell us of new stations and programs in non-local languages for visitors and foreign residents, and make a donation to help us upgrade our guides in 2009. Hello, I'm David Ricquish from the Radio Heritage Foundation, and I'd like to tell you a little about what's shaping up for 2009, and how you too can get involved to celebrate our radio heritage! Thanks for helping in 2008 __ Firstly, I'd like to thank everyone for helping to find a way to keep radio heritage safe, alive and interesting in 2008. Some radio stations have already picked up our 'Ten Top Ways to Save Your Station' tips and we'll make this program more widely available in 2009! Secondly, a special thanks to those who buy books, CDs and merchandise from us, and who have made donations in 2008. We have a very small budget, in fact our income in the year ended March 31 2008 was just US$3774. It goes nowhere near our basic running costs, and I can assure you, even a quarter a day from each of you in 2009 would help us upgrade our services and keep our bank manager from looking too closely at our credit line! ___ Make a donation this holiday season ___ Would you like to make a donation today? You can use your VISA or Mastercard at the donation button on every page of www.radioheritage.net and I can also assure you that 100 cents of every dollar goes straight into protecting radio heritage. Popular Culture ___ During 2008, we've been working behind the scenes to redesign how we tell the stories of radio, people, events, music and places within the bigger picture of popular culture. A bit like Wikipedia, you'll see we have some 'stubs' or introductory articles online about the radio dial in Australia 1931, California 1928, Shanghai 1941, New Zealand 1931 and 1978. If you haven't been to the site lately, go to www.radioheritage.net, look at them and then email us to tell us what you think of them. ___ 'Expanding 'stubs' in 2009' ___ The idea is that these will expand to cover other places and periods, introducing even more stations on the radio dial. In 2009, we're looking to build a volunteer team that will begin to expand these 'stubs' even further, unpeeling more layers of radio and popular culture for us all to enjoy. Have you seen our Art of Radio series? Currently we've got three similar 'stubs' covering Australia and New Zealand, Japan and Hawaii. These are scheduled to finally expand in 2009 and have the capacity to move offline into real exhibitions such as already successfully tested with the Art of Radio Japan Exhibition. 'We want to commission articles' Will you help us in 2009? We already have a number of people standing by to work on several of these projects, but we need more. If you can volunteer research and write about the links between radio and popular culture, we want to commission articles from you. Radio Archives __ You can see that we're more than just another radio 'archives' locked into the past! It's still vital though to collect the audio, images, art work and stories and we've been doing a lot

Reception has been monitored of Pacific style music in the past day or so. The new 10kW shortwave transmitters are still enroute to Vanuatu. Delivery has been delayed for a variety of reasons, including difficulties obtaining freight space on cargo ships visiting Vila. An RNZI technician has just returned from Vila where preparation work has been underway for installation of the two new DRM/analog transmitters later this year. The frequency of 7260 is one of several registered for VTBC for the new service and the current broadcasts appear to be a prelude to the full service starting as soon as the new transmitters are installed.

[HCDX] New RNZI Mailbox Documentary Celebrates 60 Years of RNZ Shortwave
___ Radio New Zealand International 60th Anniversary 1948-2008 RNZI Mailbox Documentary ___ Listen to Mailbox on RNZI this week as David Ricquish of the Radio Heritage Foundation looks at the history of shortwave radio from New Zealand. On September 27 1948, the shortwave division of the NZ Broadcasting Service began broadcasts to Australia and the South Pacific from two low powered war surplus transmitters located near Wellington. In this special Mailbox documentary, you can hear how shortwave radio started in New Zealand, including calls for a national shortwave service as early as 1928. Private commercial stations 2ZW Wellington, 3ZC Christchurch and 4ZM Dunedin were all early shortwave broadcasters, and the program takes us through the early years that led up to the late arrival of Radio NZ on the international airwaves. Hear how the NZ Post Telegraph office played a pivotal role in getting regular shortwave broadcasts on air as early as the 1930's, and how the relays of domestic radio services such as 2YA and 2ZB in Wellington proved popular with foreign listeners. Audio includes the famous birdsong interval signal that for many years announced the arrival of a RNZ shortwave broadcast, the opening announcement by the Prime Minister of the day, and an excerpt from the most popular program in the early days, 'Song and Story of the Maori' broadcast in 1949. Now known as Radio New Zealand International, the station has always worked hard to stay true to the original vision announced on opening day in 1948. It's growing popularity with partner stations across the Pacific some 60 years later demonstrates how this small shortwave station from the South Pacific has quietly gone about targeting its niche audience yet with popularity amongst shortwave listeners worldwide that belies its small resource base and regional focus. Visit www.rnzi.com for shortwave frequencies and times and to download an audio on demand version of the program that will be available throughout September, the anniversary month. It's now available by first clicking 'more audio' then the Mailbox program uploaded on August 31.

[HCDX] Fuel Crisis Threatens Majuro Broadcasters
___ Fuel Crisis Threatens Majuro Broadcasters ___ According to reports from Majuro, capital of the Marshall Islands in the north-west Pacific, supplies of diesel and coconut oil to the private sector could be completely cut within weeks, forcing four private radio stations off the air. RNZI News reports that a state of economic emergency has been declared, to reduce fuel and power consumption, after the national power utility projects a financial deficit representing close to 20 per cent of the entire national budget. The Marshall Islands Energy Company needs US$8.5m to pay for June diesel shipments and as a down payment for the next shipment, and needs to find the funds within seven days. Steve Clark, manager of The Change 104.1 FM on Majuro says his station has already switched to propane gas in an effort to keep the new christian radio station on the air. The Change 104.1 FM is in urgent talks with New Zealand based partner UCB Pacific Partners to develop solar and wind power energy generation options. Graham Carter, chief executive of UCB Pacific Partners says 'it will take months to raise money, ship the equipment and get it all set up'. In the meantime, the four private FM radio stations on Majuro face a bleak and potentially silent future. Radio Marshalls V7AB the government radio station operating on both AM and FM may remain as the only local broadcaster on air on Majuro should this happen. The Central Pacific Network of the US Armed Forces Radio operates an additional four stations on Kwajalein, which although part of the Marshall Islands, are likely to be immune from the crisis because they're US government funded and serve military installations. For a backgrounder on issues facing Pacific broadcasters, including fast rising oil costs, read 'Pacific Radio Today' at www.radioheritage.net, the global media platform of the Radio Heritage Foundation. If you know of any other Pacific radio stations facing similar fuel hike problems, please let us know.

[HCDX] Tahiti's Radio Maohi
Tahiti's Radio Maohi Partially Shut Down French Polynesia's Radio Maohi has been shut down in the west of Tahiti because of debts to the state owned TDF company that provides radio transmission services. The station is linked to the Tahoeraa Huiraatira party which was the dominant political force in Pirae, west of Papeete, until municipal elections in March. Pirae now has a mayor from the ruling To Tatou Aia coalition, leading to accusations that the new mayor is muzzling opposition radio media. Radio Maohi continues to broadcast in other parts of Tahiti where it owns the transmission equipment. In a backgrounder, Jason Brown of Avaiki News, says that Radio Maohi isn't the only station suffering funding problems. Longtime anti-nuclear radio Te Reo Tefana limps along on just one phone line for all calls and faxes for their onair studio, newsroom, administration and advertising offices. A skeleton crew of staff use their own mobile phones, bikes and cars to cover stories for Te Reo Tefana, one of the oldest but most badly resourced radio stations in the Pacific. Given French enthusiasm for good quality coffee, it's a measure of tough times when even the instant coffee jar at the newsroom at Tefana is empty. It's been this way for about two years according to Tefana workers. By comparison, state broadcasters like RFO get roughly US$50m a year, in French Polynesia alone. [According to the WRTH 2008, Radio Maohi operates on 5 FM frequencies throughout French Polynesia, with just 2 on the main island of Tahiti. Te Reo Tefana uses 7 FM frequencies, of which 3 are on the main island. There are over 30 private FM stations in French Polynesia, as well as two state owned radio networks.] David Ricquish Radio Heritage Foundation www.radioheritage.net ---[Start Commercial]- Order your WRTH 2008: http://www.hard-core-dx.com/redirect2.php?id=wrth2008 ---[End Commercial]--- Hard-Core-DX mailing list Hard-Core-DX@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/hard-core-dx http://www.hard-core-dx.com/ ___ THE INFORMATION IN THIS ARTICLE IS FREE.
