Shri C.M.Jatua, Minister of State for Information and Broadcasting, launched the Newly Designed website of Press Information Bureau at a function held here today. Speaking on the occasion, the Minister said, the newly designed website would enable media persons to access information promptly. This would facilitate timely flow of information for important events taking place within the Government. The Minister also launched the “Online Application System” for Community Radio Stations, developed by Ministry of Information and Broadcasting in association with Commonwealth Educational Centre for Asia (CEMCA).
Speaking on the occasion, Principal Director General (M&C), Smt. Neelam Kapur, mentioned though the website remained the most widely surfed information website, it had become necessary to introduce tools for providing quick, accessible quality information to the user, especially those belonging to the media. Some of the key features that had been introduced in the new website included the new colour scheme for the web-site, faster user friendly search system, placement of Urdu releases on the Home Page and the introduction of the SMS Alert System which had been introduced to alert beat correspondents regarding posting of handouts. For availing this service, it was mandatory to register with the SMS service. Principal D.G. further stated that a number of media persons were accessing high resolution print quality photographs and the rich archival material available on the site for their professional duties.
Secretary(I&B), Shri Raghu Menon, Special Secretary (I&B), Shri Uday Kumar Varma and Senior Officials of the Press Information Bureau & the Ministry were present during the function.
The web-site of PIB, pib.nic.in, was first launched in 1998. The new website launched today has the following main features:
· The new website is designed on a soothing three-colour pattern corresponding to the colours of the national flag.
· Arrangement of elements has been standardized across pages. Different elements (such as facilitations of journalists) have been grouped together.
· Urdu releases are also displayed on the Home Page in addition to English and Hindi releases/features.
· Hindi content is now available in UNICODE. This font system will, in future, obviate the need for font conversion and will be editable/viewable across platform and browsers.
· A segment has been added for video content. Presently video content is being generated through Live Web-cast of cabinet briefings and President’s /PM’s speeches at national events.
· Search has been made faster and more user friendly.
· Facility to mail particular text/graphic content to different email ID’s has been provided.
· Users can now subscribe to PIB content through RSS feeds which can be filtered on different Ministries or type of content.
· An SMS alert system has been introduced so that when a handout is posted on the site, an alert goes to the beat correspondents and others journalists who subscribe to SMS service.
Regarding the “Online Application System” for Community Radio Stations, the applicants have been encouraged to apply online by clicking the hyperlink on the Ministry’s home page www.mib.nic.in.
This is a simple software which can be accessed easily from anywhere in the country by a person who is interested to apply on line. For the benefit of the applicants a filled in model application is also available on line.
Various guidelines issued on Community Radio by the Government on Community Radio were also available on the home page of the site. All the attachments could be sent along with the application form by using open source software for which the reference link is available at the site, which compresses, optimizes and converts them into easily up-loadable PDF files. The software being used had several other advantages such as:
· The application can be simultaneously sent to Ministries concerned for quicker clearance.
· It will facilitate quicker and easier communication with the applicant organizations through their email IDs provided with the Online System.
· Ministry will get a day-to-day update on the total number of applications filed category-wise and State-wise.
· In order to bring further transparency in the system, it is also proposed to develop an on-line tracking system through which applicants can trace the status of their applications through a Pass Word and ID.
Till date, 233 LOIs have been issued by the Ministry of I & B to operate Community Radio Stations in the country. 110 organizations have been signed Grant of Permission Agreement (GOPA) with the Ministry. 82 Radio Stations have become operational. There has been a steady increase in the number of operational Community Radio Stations in the country, which has increased from 57 stations in the month of May 2010 to 82 Radio Stations in July 2010.

Ironically, many in Balochistan are more familiar with the reporters and anchors of BBC Urdu radio and All India Radio than Pakistan Radio. They know their names and when to tune in for which programme. Even those who don’t understand Urdu or Hindi listen to these two stations, relying on people in their family or villages to translate.

VOA Khmer service celebrates 55th anniversary of first broadcast
Posted: 16 Aug 2010 08:38 PM PDT
Washington, D.C., August 16, 2010 – VOA’s Khmer Service is marking its 55th anniversary, with veteran broadcasters recalling the monumental events that shaped the news in those years, from the Vietnam War, to the genocide of the Khmer Rouge regime and the birth of a constitutional monarchy.
Khen Chen, who retired in 2007, says of her 45-year career, “I’m very proud of working for VOA Khmer, there was something new every day, it was a blessing.”
In her first years, Chen says, nearly every newscast by the Khmer Service was dominated by U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War. In 1975 the Khmer Rouge seized power and VOA reported on the darkest days of Cambodian history, the genocide and starvation that left from one to three-million people dead, a period that saw the birth of the term, “killing fields.”
Chen was a student at an all-girls high school in Phnom Penh, Cambodia when she spotted a job advertisement for Voice of America in 1962 and began a life-long career broadcasting to her homeland.
During a guest appearance by Chen on Monday’s Khmer radio show, listeners called in thrilled to hear her voice back on the air. “Ang Khen (Chen’s on-air name) is such a well-known personality,” said show host Sothearith Im, “it is wonderful that she is able to celebrate with us.”
Although the service first went on the air in August of 1955, it was dropped after several months and reintroduced again in 1962. Since then, VOA Director Danforth W. Austin says, “the Khmer Service has continuously served as a source of trustworthy information on the region and the world to Cambodians.” Today the staff reaches millions of people through radio, television and the internet.

Radio Free Asia issues 14th Anniversary QSL Card
Posted: 19 Aug 2010 07:35 PM PDT
Radio Free Asia (RFA) announces the release of 14th anniversary QSL card. RFA’s first broadcast was in Mandarin on September 29, 1996 at 2100 UTC. This card will be used to confirm all valid reception reports from September 1 -December 31, 2010. The design is a simple photo collage made from a small sample of the many stories RFA has covered in the past 14 years. Acting as a substitute for indigenous free media, RFA concentrates its coverage on events occurring in and/or affecting the countries to which it broadcasts. Those countries are: Burma, Cambodia, Laos, North Korea, Peoples Republic of China, and Vietnam.
RFA is a private, nonprofit corporation that broadcasts news and information to listeners in Asian countries where full, accurate, and timely news reports are unavailable. Created by Congress in 1994 and incorporated in 1996, RFA currently broadcasts in Burmese, Cantonese, Khmer, Korean to North Korea, Lao, Mandarin, the Wu dialect, Vietnamese, Tibetan (Uke, Amdo, and Kham), and Uyghur. RFA strives for accuracy, balance, and fairness in its editorial content. As a ’surrogate’ broadcaster, RFA provides news and commentary specific to each of its target countries, acting as the free press these countries lack. RFA broadcasts only in local languages and dialects, and most of its broadcasts comprise news of specific local interest.
More information about Radio Free Asia, including our current broadcast frequency schedule, is available at http://www.rfa.org/. RFA encourages listeners to submit reception reports. Reception reports are valuable to RFA as they help us evaluate the signal strength and quality of our transmissions. RFA confirms all accurate reception reports by mailing a QSL card to the listener.
RFA welcomes all reception report submissions at http://www.techweb.rfa.org/ (follow the QSL REPORTS link) not only from DX’ers, but also from its general listening audience. Reception reports are also accepted by email at qsl@rfa.org, and for anyone without Internet access, reception reports can be mailed to:

Millions tune in to Pakistan lifeline through BBC Urdu service
Posted: 16 Aug 2010 01:04 AM PDT
Millions in Pakistan began tuning in to emergency lifeline radio programming, as BBC Urdu launched a new service to people in the most severely flooded areas of the country.
Special programmes will be broadcast each day in Urdu at 12.30, 15.30 and 18.30 and in Pashto at 12.45, 15.45 and 18.45 (local times).
Each transmits crucial up-to-date information to the hundreds of thousands of people currently cut off from humanitarian aid.
Highlights from Monday’s – 9 August – first day of programmes included:
Updates on affected flood areas – from food distributions to weather forecasts Testimonies from displaced people A spotlight on relief efforts Hero of the day An interview with Pakistan ’s President Zardari
Speaking from Pakistan, the BBC Urdu service’s Shafi Naqi Jamie says:
“We provide the millions whose lives and homes have been destroyed with a radio lifeline. Listeners hear about where to get food and shelter and how best to survive. But as important, by establishing a platform for people’s voices and stories, we aim to rebuild a sense of community and morale as well.”
With the crisis increasingly affecting the south of the country, the BBC Urdu’s programme will be broadcast on up to 34 partner stations, reaching over 60 million people.
The infoasaid lifeline service has been developed by BBC World Service Trust and Internews, with funding from the UK’s Department for International Development.
infoasaid aims to improve how humanitarian agencies communicate with disaster affected communities. The emphasis is on the need to deliver information, as aid itself, through the most appropriate channels.

Radio St. Helena Day 2010 : Date,Times and Targets
————————————————————-
RSD 2010 will be on 11092.5 kHz USB, Saturday, 9th October 2010
=======================================
Target Region Times (UTC ) Beam Heading
=========== ============== ==========
EUROPE 1900 – 2030 UTC 10 degrees
INDIA 2030 – 2130 UTC 70 degrees
JAPAN 2130 – 2300 UTC 50 degrees
North America 2300 – 0030 UTC 310 degrees
Gary Walters, Station Manager of Radio St. Helena, has just confirmed the above information,and, as usual, Derek Richards will operate the RSD shortwave transmitting facility. There will be a special email-address exclusively for the evening of RSD 2010. As soon as Gary sets up this special email account, will be published.
The RSD 2010 QSL cards are being sponsored by the Danish ShortWave Club International. Reception reports for RSD 2010 should be sent with sufficient return postage to RSH using thespecial Airmail address via Ascension and the United Kingdom — exactly the same procedureas for the RSD 2009 reception reports. ALL mail to RSH should use this procedure. ALL 266 QSLs for RSD 2009 have been mailed and should now be arriving around the world.
The sunspot minimum between sunspot cycles 23 and 24 is the longest in history — much to the dismay of shortwave listeners everywhere. This minimum has lasted since 2007 and is still ongoing. There are not very many sunspots to “help” propagation, and there is no real sign of significant change. The UTC-times for broadcasting to the various target area have been very carefully selected to to have the very best chance of good reception in each area. Also, we need to have the RSD broadcasts one after the other.After RSD 2009, it was decided to change the times somewhat and to move RSD from November to October (as was the case back in the late 1990’s — Thanks, John). RSH hopes that everyone around the world has excellent reception conditions during RSD 2010 and is looking forward to your emails and also, if possible, to your telephone calls.
Gary Walters , Station Manager of Radio St. Helena via Robert Kipp
(Jaisakthivel, Ardic DX Club, India via dx_india yg http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dx_india/)
To get a QSL from Radio St. Helena, you must send a written and verifiable reception report by AIRMAIL and include sufficient return postage (3 IRC’s). Email-reports will be not be verified. Recordings will not be returned. In EURO-countries, please send a 5-Euro banknote. Otherwise, please send 3 or more US dollar banknotes to cover the required return postage.

Radio offers lifeline to Pakistan as crisis worsens
Posted: 09 Aug 2010 07:11 PM PDT
In response to the devastating floods in northern Pakistan, lifeline radio programmes are to start in the most severely affected areas through the BBC Urdu service.
Developed by BBC World Service Trust and Internews, the new infoasaid service will transmit life-saving information to the hundreds of thousands of people currently cut off from emergency aid efforts and most at risk.
BBC Urdu will transmit six daily bulletins in Urdu and Pashto, providing vital information including how to stay safe, avoid disease and access aid.* With much of the region’s transport and communication links destroyed, the service will plug a critical gap in delivering information in the immediate aftermath of the disaster using one of the only media channels still available – radio.
As part of an increasingly nationwide response, the programmes will be broadcast on up to 34 BBC partner stations, reaching over 60 million people. Director of the BBC World Service Trust, Caroline Nursey, says: “This humanitarian crisis is growing every day and is now on a huge scale. Very often it is the simplest information, such as where to get food or how to avoid diseases, that can save thousands of lives. This is what lifeline programming will deliver.”
infoasaid is funded by UKaid from the Department for International Development. Minister of State for International Development, Alan Duncan, says: “As flooding continues to cause destruction and suffering in Pakistan, many will find themselves cut off from family, friends and home. While of course not everyone will be able to access a radio, this is a proven way of reaching as many people as possible when no other means of communication are available.
“The lifeline radio programme is another great example of potentially lifesaving innovation from the BBC World Service Trust, providing essential emergency advice and information on staying healthy and accessing food and shelter, to help those affected cope with the immediate effects of this disaster.”
infoasaid is coordinating its response through UNOCHA and humanitarian agencies in the region. The project’s goal is to improve how aid agencies communicate with disaster-affected communities. The emphasis is on the need to deliver information, as aid itself, through the most appropriate channels.
* infoasaid will be broadcast at local times in Urdu at 12.30, 15.30 and 18.30 and in Pashto at 12.45, 15.45 and 18.45. infoasaid is a collaborative project between the BBC World Service Trust and Internews.

VOA Hausa service planning special Ramadan programs
Posted: 10 Aug 2010 05:51 PM PDT
Washington, D.C., August 10, 2010 – As millions of Muslims await the start of the holy month of Ramadan, VOA’s Hausa Service will be among the first in Nigeria to broadcast the official announcement of the start of the annual fasting and prayer season.
The holy month of Ramadan begins in Nigeria when the Sultan of Sokoto, Mohammad Sa’ad Abubakar III, who leads the Nigeria Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs, confirms reports that the new crescent moon has been sighted, an event expected Wednesday but perhaps as late as Thursday. Muslims from around the country have been urged to call the palace when they see the new moon. A committee of experts will evaluate the reports. A Hausa Service reporter will be in the Sultan’s palace for the announcement, and is expected to speak with a member of the Moon Sighting Committee, as well as get reaction from people gathered at the palace for the event.
VOA’s Hausa Service has four daily broadcasts and a weekly audience estimated at approximately 21 million listeners in the region on shortwave and AM with a website that features live and on-demand audio broadcasts.
The Hausa program line-up includes integrated newscasts, discussion shows, diverse stringer reports, interviews, feature programs, and special reports covering a wide variety of issues.
Visit the Hausa Service website, http://www1.voanews.com/hausa/news/, for a Ramadan timetable that will include the timing of breakfast and when Muslims are expected to cease eating, drinking and sex.
In addition, the Service will be running a series of special programs all month, including a call-in show that will allow listeners share their Ramadan preparations.

Hello FRS-Holland Friends,
Already some time ago we informed you about the upcoming FRS 30 Years celebrations. In the mean time we have received a number of contributions, we feel the on air celebration would be incomplete without our listeners’ input! Of course contributions from colleague SW stations are also very much appreciated.
Still we haven’t heard from many listeners whose contribution would be much appreciated. We are talking about many faithful listeners who already tuned long time ago. For us at FRSH your contribution is ‘invaluable’ !!
So we once again appeal on you….
Preparations are in an advanced stage and we once again invite you as FRSH listener to participate. Instead of writing a letter following a broadcast, we kindly ask for your personal FRS memories. Either you put them 1) on a sheet of paper or send them by mail and 2) most wanted: record your personal message and send an mp3 audio file. All listener’s contributions will be collected and together it will be our anthology of 30 years of SW broadcasts. When did you hear us for the first time, what was your favorite show, when did you get your first QSL, how much did you listen to FRS, any special on air moments you remember? All this info could be part of your personal FRS contribution.
Send your contribution to <frs@frsholland.nl> or POBox 2702, 6049 ZG Herten, the Netherlands.
All the best from all of us at FRSH.
On behalf of the FRS Staff,
Peter Verbruggen
AIR special broadcasts on eve of Independence Day
Posted: 11 Aug 2010 08:11 PM PDT
The 64th Independence Day celebrations will shortly be taking place in India on August 15. It is one of the major holidays of the year and affords us the great opportunity to hear some special programming via SW.
Of particular interest to listeners in North America is the President’s annual address to the nation on the eve of Independence Day (August 14). President Shrimati Pratibha Devishingh Patil’s speech will be delivered via SW radio at 1330 UT (7:00 PM IST). This gives us a good opportunity to attempt to hear the rarely used AIR Kohima SW transmitter on 4850, which is only used for special event. Also the other regional AIR stations will all be broadcasting her speech to the nation, which will be delivered first in Hindi and then repeated again in English.
As a guide to what can be heard, here is the log of my 2009 reception:
4850, AIR Kohima, 1301, August 14, 2009 with today’s program schedule; talk show about rugby in English; 1315 health program in Hindi; 1327 marching music/anthem; President’s address to the nation on the eve of Independence Day in Hindi, repeated in English till 1402; pop music program till tune out at 1410. Nice local IDs; slightly better than 2008 reception here. Started fading about 1350.
Last year the speech was heard in parallel: 4760 (AIR Port Blair); 4775 (AIR Imphal); 4835 (AIR Gangtok); 4880 (AIR Lucknow); 4895 (AIR Kurseong); 4920 (AIR Chennai); 4940 (AIR Guwahati); 4970 (AIR Shillong); 4990 (AIR Itanagar); 5010 (AIR Thiruvan.) and 5050 (AIR Aizawl). Noticeably off the air last year was 5040 (AIR Jeypore).
An audio file (MP3) of a portion of last year’s reception is posted at :
http://www.mediafire.com/?7r8e117ju2mum3h >.
It should be noted that AIR Gangtok is currently off frequency. Mauno Ritola (Finland) measured them on 4837.215 kHz. with sign off at 1600:30, on August 11. Thanks to Mauno for the update.
Special thanks to Jose Jacob of Hyderabad, India for confirmation that this year’s speech will indeed be broadcast at 1330 UT, August 14, 2010 and he sends along this additional information:
4760 (leh), 4800, 4810, 4820, 4910, 5015, etc. are additional frequencies to check, as well as 9470, 9425, 9835, 9575 and 6030. Shortly after the broadcast in Hindi and English local station broadcast its translation in local languages.
Reception reports may be sent to : spectrum-manager@air.org.in
Doordarshan TV channels also carry the President’s address to the nation.

Northern Ireland Hosts Major DAB Conferences
Posted: 11 Aug 2010 05:36 AM PDT
Belfast in Northern Ireland will host three major events on the international future of digital radio this October.
The WorldDMB General Assembly on October 27 at the Europa Hotel in Belfast brings together WorldDMB members from Europe and around the world. On the agenda is the development of the DAB family of standards, including DAB, DAB+ and DMB, and the future of digital radio broadcasting on an international scale.
The same week sees the EBU Digital Radio Conference, also held at the Europa Hotel. On October 28/29, European Broadcasting Union delegates will meet to discuss how best to chart a digital future for radio on multi-platforms. The conference will consider a practical assessment of the conditions for the successful and profitable future of radio in all its digital formats.
To accompany the EBU Digital Radio Conference, BBC Northern Ireland and RTE will present ‘Making Connections – a Festival of Radio’. The large-scale public event will celebrate radio and its connection with people and cultures at a local, national and international level. The free event will showcase new technologies and exhibits from the BBC’s local and network radio services. Visitors can also watch live radio programmes and get involved with interactive experiences. The Festival of Radio takes place in BBC Blackstaff House in Belfast between 28 and 30 October.
Digital radio in Northern Ireland is quite widespread with much of the Province within range of a regional multiplex and the BBC’s national mux. In the ROI, RTE broadcasts to 36% of the population, rising to 52% by the end of 2010. The “noise” created by these three almost simultaneous events in Belfast will raise the public profile and awareness of digital radio broadcasting across Ireland.
Letty Zambrano, WorldDMB Project Director says: “Each event’s agenda is complementary to the other two, and many of the same people will no doubt attend both the WorldDMB and EBU conferences. The BBC/RTE event is more consumer focused and will balance the two conferences by talking directly to listeners through free public events, demonstrations of how digital radio works etc.”
ENDS
For more information contact Rosemary Smith, WorldDMB on +44 20 3206 7847 or email Rosemary.Smith@worlddab.org
Notes to Editors: The DAB family is the most successful set of digital radio standards in the world today. Created from the outset for mobile and portable reception of audio services, the standard has been developed to offer multimedia and video with DAB+ and DMB digital radio and DMB mobile TV. Collectively these are often referred to as the Eureka 147 Family of Standards, having originated as an EU funded Eureka project. The system is on-air in nearly 40 countries across Europe, Australia and the Far East. More than 500 million people are within range of DAB, DAB+ or DMB services, with over 1,000 services on-air. In Europe, digital radio is available in the UK, Denmark, Malta, Norway, Belgium, Germany, Switzerland and Spain with digital radio launches planned for France, Ireland, Hungary, Italy, the Netherlands and Czech Republic. The world’s first DMB mobile TV services launched in South Korea in 2005 and is now one of the most successful markets in the world. DAB is also on-air in China as the only industrial standard for digital radio with DMB successfully used for mobile TV during the 2008 Olympics. Other DMB mobile TV services and trials are planned for Norway, Vietnam, Malaysia, Taiwan, and Indonesia. In 2008 the industry body responsible for the Eureka 147 family of standards, the WorldDMB Forum, created the ‘Digital Radio Receiver Profiles’ which specify a set of minimum requirements and features for different types of consumer digital radio receivers. The
Receiver Profiles ensure interoperability of new receivers and services between countries whose broadcasters may be using different combinations of DAB, DAB+ or DMB and creates a harmonised digital radio and multimedia market across the world.
About WorldDMB
WorldDMB is an international, non-governmental organisation with a mandate to promote the awareness, adoption and implementation of Eureka 147 based technologies worldwide. The organisation’s name refers to ‘digital multimedia broadcasting’ including radio, mobile TV and broadcast new media services. Its members include public and commercial broadcasters, receiver manufacturers and other companies and bodies committed to the promotion of services and equipment based on the Eureka 147 family of standards.

Recently launched state radio signals reluctance to open up airwaves
Posted: 05 Aug 2010 07:34 PM PDT
By Lance Guma
05 August 2010
Voice of Zimbabwe, a state controlled shortwave radio service, was launched last week Friday in Gweru and has signaled ZANU PF’s reluctance to open up the airwaves. The station is reported to have been set up in 2007 with its general manager Happison Muchechetere saying they would carry out test runs before the actual programming started. Four years later it would seem they have finally managed to produce some programming.

IARUMS to concentrate on cleaning-up 40 metres
Posted: 02 Aug 2010 03:57 AM PDT
The South African Radio League’s councillor for the IARU Monitoring System (IARUMS), Fred Scheepers, ZS1FCS, invites radio amateurs and shortwave listeners to join a campaign to remove non-amateur stations from the 40 metre amateur band.
It requires many persons to monitor the band from 7 000 – 7 200 kHz for intruders and record their details such as the station ID, the frequency and time. Many intruder broadcast stations will broadcast their ID on the hour and half hour.
If you cannot understand the language make an mp3 recording or a wave file and add it to your report. Fred has set a special email address that is easy to remember. It is ntruder@sarl.org.za

New Delhi
Besides uninterrupted music, radio channels in Delhi would be playing a very important role during the Commonwealth Games. For tourists and athletes, and much for the general public, the Delhi Police has decided to rope in seven radio channels in the Capital to disseminate information about the Games tournaments, general alerts, traffic situation and diversions during the October 3-14 event.

Complete digital cable switchover by December 2013: Trai
Posted: 30 Jul 2010 10:00 PM PDT
MUMBAI: The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) has set sights on 31 December 2013 as the sunset date for a complete shift from analogue to digital cable, a target that most industry observers feel is impossible to meet in the wake of massive fund requirements and current chaos in the sector.

Hello friends,
Just few notes about the IOTA SWL Contest to be held the next weekend. This Contest is a worldwide event managed by RSGB from several years and the SWL Section has been picked up by the MDXC/SWL from 2006. A lot of stations will be active from several IOTAs and you can find their great number by checking the updated list of Announced Operations by NG3K at http://www.his.com/~wfeidt/Misc/iota2010.html
Not only a Contest but a good opportunity to collect new IOTAs and to try to enter in the IOTA SWL Annual Listing. The standard rules ask to submit at least 100 QSLs from different IOTAs to enter in this Listing, but there are good news. Now the SWLs participating in the Contest can submit, instead of the QSLs, the list of Contest QSO/HRDs. There are some limits (e.g. max 50 QSO/HRDs) and a not difficult procedure must be followed but this way it will be more easy to enter in the SWL Listing, the most important official Listing for SWLs, being the DXCC not available to SWLs.
You can find the above procedure, the previous results, a FAQ and the complete rules at http://www.mdxc.org/swl/
Good Contest!

Ireland – FM set to stay as radio execs consider digital’s future
Posted: 19 Jul 2010 01:09 AM PDT
Sunday Independent
By Christian McCashin
July 18 2010
Ireland’s millions of radio listeners have been told they will not have to throw their sets away after the Government vowed it would not be switching off the country’s FM signal.
Britain and parts of Europe are planning to switch off their analogue signal in favour of Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB), sparking fears that the same would happen here.
Standard radios can’t pick up the digital signal, which would make them, and millions of car radios, obsolete.

Signs of Traction for Global Digital Radio
Posted: 16 Jul 2010 03:34 AM PDT
In many nations, 2010 is looking like the year where digital radio finally is gaining some traction. While HD Radio was getting a boost (literally) from regulators in the United States, Digital Radio Mondiale’s DRM30 system has gained significant support in Russian and India, and the Eureka-47 family of DAB standards is seeing good growth in Australia, as well as continued acceptance in Europe and new projects in Asia.

QSL Information – HCJB Australia
Posted: 19 Jul 2010 03:47 AM PDT
Dear DX-friends all parts of the world,
Here is a piece of information on very unique QSL-card. The Japanese service of HCJB Australia is currently issuing different QSL-cards every month. These cards are not issued by the station HCJB in Melbourne, but by the Yodobashi Church in Tokyo.
The address for reception reports is mentioned at the end of this e-mail. Now, July edition of its QSL-card is featuring an DX-pedition held from 25th to 27th of last June. The participants of this DX-pedition are six Japanese men and held on a small island called “Katsurashima”. This island, Katsurashima is located in the bay of Matsushima, near Sendai, one of the major cities in the Northeast of Japan and apart from Tokyo approximately 350 kilometers. As this island is under noise-free environment, so we hold DX-pedition once or twice every year.
This QSL-card would be issued for the reception reports in July, but if you miss to receive the broadcast within July, I suggest that you ask the Yodobashi Church to issue the July edition even after the reports in August.
Program schedule:
Japanese service of HCJB Australia:
22:30 – 23:00UTC on 15525kHz Friday/Saturday only.
The address for reception reports:
HCJB c/o Yodobashi Church,
1-17-8 Hyakunin-cho, Shinjuku-ku,
Tokyo 169-0073

Egypt’s public radio: is anyone listening?
Posted: 18 Jul 2010 07:35 PM PDT
Nadine Emile
Can the radio survive mounting competition from other media?
From its vast headquarters on the Nile, the Egyptian Radio and Television Union still faithfully broadcasts public radio programs from nine networks. The programs cover news and culture, play Egyptian and foreign music, and feature talk shows and readings of the Quran, providing a wealth of entertainment and news for the Egyptian public. But is anyone still listening?
