At a time when most media have moved online, shortwave radio still plays a quiet but important role in global communication. That's why experts from around the world gathered in Prague this week for the HFCC—the High Frequency Coordination Conference. Radio Prague Inter- national is a media partner. On this occasion, Klara Stejskalova spoke with Jeff White, chairman of the HFCC and founder of Radio Miami Interna- tional, Okeechobee-Florida-USA. They discussed his passion for shortwave, the role of the HFCC, and why this medium still matters today.

After I returned home from the beach, I heard via Kiwi SDR remotedly at Townsville, Queensland-AUS, a positive Nabire signal mixing with China; 1220 UT to past 1300+ UT; at 1223 , played the patriotic song "Dirgahayu Indonesia."

For many months, these independent journalists have been the world's eyes and ears on the ground in Gaza. They are now facing the same dire circumstances as those they are cover- ing." "Journalists endure many deprivations and hardships in warzones. We are deeply alarmed that the threat of starvation is now one of them." "We once again urge the Israeli authorities to allow journalists in and out of Gaza. It is essential that adequate food supplies reach the people there."

Ndace pointed out the importance of shortwave for "inclusive" radio, as more than 60 percent of the potential audi-ence used transistor receivers to get information and entertainment. He also spoke of VoN's "rightful place not just as the Voice of Nigeria,but indeed as the Voice of Africa". Africans further south may have listened closely: South Africa's "Channel Africa", the foreign radio service that left shortwave in 2019, used to refer to itself as "The Voice of the African Renaissance". Rivalry between Nigeria and Africa seems to go way beyond the world of sports. South African media politicians might therefore feel the pinch, if the Nigerian project really turns into substantial and reliable airtime on shortwave. But the task may not be an easy one: the Nigerian transmitter that is intended to "enable the resumption of shortwave broadcasting" was said in an earlier report to have been "dormant for over a decade".

Circularly Disposed Dipole Array (CDDA) / Circular Dipole Antenna Array (CDAA) The CDAA was also called the Wullenweber antenna. Jurgen Wullenweber was born in Hamburg in 1488, and was a mayor of Luebeck from 1533 to 1537. He was a legendary figure, known as a fighter against injustice and the wealthy class (sort of a Robin Hood) and an upholder of the Protestant Cause. He was killed in Wolfenbuettel in 1537 while on a foray to uphold his ideals and became somewhat of a martyr. His name was used by the Germans as the cover name for their CDAA project during WW II. But Wikipedia says: The Wullenweber (correct spelling is Wullenwever), or Circularly Disposed Dipole Array (CDDA)/Circular Dipole Antenna Array (CDAA) is a large circular antenna array used by the military to triangulate radio signals for intelligence gathering and the occasional maritime rescue.

Website - "Unification Media Group is part of a consortium with DailyNK [Shiokaze airs many items from DailyNK, during their Wednesday broadcasts in Eng- lish - Ron], an internet news site focusing on North Korea. DailyNK works together with sources inside and outside of North Korea to shine a light on events in North Korea, both large and small. DailyNK aims to provide the accurate and timely information needed for informed policy-making and a human-first understanding of North Korea. Since information controls and travel restrictions inside North Korea often make it difficult for resi- dents to hear news from neighboring areas, UMG frequently uses DailyNK reporting to educate North Korean audiences about domestic events as well as international affairs. While radio has fallen out of favor in much of the world, radio remains the only way to provide North Korean residents with information in real- time. Moreover, since it does not leave behind physical evidence or re- quire expensive technology, it is considered one of the safest and most accessible media platforms in the DPRK. Unification Media Group (UMG) has been broadcasting radio programming to North Korean audiences since 2005. Currently, UMG produces and broadcasts three hours of programming each day, including local and international news, civic education and cultural programs. According to a Gallup survey conducted in 2015, 2-3% of North Korean citizens said they have previously listened to UMG broadcasts. North Korean citizens can listen to UMG's programming with short-wave radios, and overseas workers can listen to recordings uploaded daily to the UMG website."

Someone wrote on some forums that the Radio Center, due to objective rea- sons, has not looked like itself for a long time. But no evidence was pre- sented. For reference: the Nikolaev Radio Center was founded in 1954. In subse- quent years, it was repeatedly modernized and completed. 4 workshops.

(March 15, 2014 year) UKRAINE/RUSSIA Mykolaiv high power test transmissions (Historical). The following article by Rick maybe of interest to those who didn't read the original article in Monitoring Times quite some time ago. I never saw the original article & I'm sure many others in the group won't have either. I found it fascinating & I re-posted (with some editing) here for the interest of our readers. My thanks to Rick for his permission to re- post it. Mykolaiv high power transmissions. By Rick Slobodian (Canada) from data collected while I was in Lviv at the Krasne Transmitter site in August 1998. In the 70's from the Mykolaiv (Luch) transmitter site in Ukraine, ex- periments were performed using three 1000 kW transmitters in parallel. The antenna consisted of 13 vertical towers in the shape of a parabola (as viewed from an airplane), it also had a very narrow bandwidth (ca 3 MHz), and a very narrow beamwidth (approx 5-10 degrees). The result of this was the gain they obtained from this antenna was a staggering 38 dB! The reference signal they used it against was a 1000 kW transmitter with a 20 dB curtain antenna. The test signal was directed to the Washington/New York area. What happened was as follows; tx output power started at 1000 kW and they increased TX power and monitored received signal strength in Washington. As the test transmitter power approached 2000 kW they found that the received signal strength started to decrease. At 3000 kW the received signal was almost gone, but why? Radio Ionosonde sounders and satellites were then dispatched to analyse the signal. What they found was surprising. At 3000 kW and 38 dB of antenna gain the TX signal was of such power that it was heating up a spot in the ionosphere but instead of creating a solid area of reflection they discovered they were actually burning a hole in the ionosphere and the signal was being shot off into space. They also noticed that in the area of the ionospheric hole had an effect on approaching weather fronts. The weather fronts were being deflected around the ionospheric heated area, an inadvertent weather modification. So they reduced the power, received signal strength improved, but not much over the reference signal. They experienced lots of fading especially when the ionosphere was un- stable, that the solar winds would push & pull at this heated up areas of the ionosphere and moved it around. They did however notice that as the ionospheric hole decreased in size, they were also able to transmit a 2nd signal beamed to the same spot at much higher than the MUF and HPF, however the received signal was very unstable, because of the lack of symmetry and alignment due to the number of hops. This method has been used before, but just for one hop. The parabolic antenna was modified to a wider beamwidth (approximately 30 degrees) and the frequency range was expanded to 5.5-22.0 MHz. The re- sult of this was a drop in gain to 29 dB, which is still fantastic. The high power TX program was cancelled, and soon after many of the engi- neers were laid off, but approximately 20-30 were provided safe passage out of the Ukrainian SSR and ended up in Alaska working on the US HAARP project. (Rick Slobodian-CA, via Ian at SW TXsite Sept 21, 2014 year, via wwdxc BC-DX TopNews) On the Mediumwave transmitting station Luch (549 + 1431 kHz), the power is turned off due to unpaid bills last week (March 5, 2015 year): On 5 March Luchivska former affiliate of Concern BRT and settlement Ray that in Mykolaiv region blackouts due to debt.

I agree that broadcasting on MW continues, although not, of course from the high power site near Luch/Mykolayiv oblast, which I believe is under Ukrainian control, but likely too close to the front lines for safety. The 1278 transmitter returned not long ago, and it's in the Odesa oblast.

Just sayin' (Walter Salmaniw-BC-CAN, wor Nov 23, 2023 year) Luch was just on the frontline from March until October 2022, so it was seriously damaged and rendered a ghost town.

Fuer August 2025 sind folgende Sendungen angekuendigt: An den Samstagen 2., 9. und 23.August 2025 wird um 20.00 Uhr auf 15770 kHz in Deutsch gesendet, am 16. [und mutmasslich 30. August] regulaer in Eng- lisch. Zielgebiet ist hier NordostAM und Europa. Bestaetigt wird unter mit aelteren und neuen Karten. Nouri Streichert (Musikallee, Steel Guitar bei Ch292) / Henry Norman (Henry Norman Show bei WRMI Okeechobee FL-USA) schreibt ueber Empfangs- berichte via WebSDR Folgendes: "Viele schreiben mir auch, dass sie ueber Kiwis hoeren. Das ist zwar kein klassisches DX, werden von mir aber auch bestaetigt. Auch ich bin reiner DXer und schreibe nur Berichte ueber Sen- dungen, die ich an meinem Philips D29999 empfangen habe. Aber mich als Radiomacher sehe ich es von einer anderen Seite.Waehrend ich als DXer die klassische Kurzwelle bevorzuge ist es fuer mich als Radio- macher hingegen wichtig zu sehen, ob meine Programme angenommen werden.Als Radiomacher freue ich mich, dass ich gehoert werde und dass die Hoererin- nen und Hoerer sich meiner Programme erfreuen. Wenn dann auch noch eine nette Unterhaltung daraus wird, bin ich erfreut, dass sich die Hoererinnen und Hoerer auch mit meinen Sendungen, der Musik und meinen Moderationen auseinander setzen. Ich sehe daher die Kiwis,wie sie bei Linkfanel nutzbar sind deswegen nicht als Ersatz fuer die klassische Kurzwelle, aber als Ergaenzung. Darum be- staetige ich,im Gegensatz zu vielen anderen Sendern, auch diese Berichte." (Nouri Streichert; via Dr. Hansjoerg Biener-D, Bieners DX_Digest #62 Aug 2025 column Sept 4) USA Re my WMLK logs: "I logged them on both 15150 kHz and 17525 kHz Fri- day Aug 15 Midday Pacific time. It being daylight they initially both started out rather poor but did improve by sign off on 17525 kHz. But it is worth noting that they give out wildly inaccurate broadcast schedule information at sign off. To my ears it sounded like he said that 17525 kHz was on the air from 1700 to 2200 UT. I also note that Elder Jacob O Meyer has been spewing some interesting conspiracy theories as of late. Black Helicopters and End Times and Last Days. I will admit however, that a segment he did several months ago about the history of the Mennonite people in that part of Pennsylvania was very very interesting. Tony Pavick, Hope BC". (via Glenn Hauser-OK-USA, wor & hcdx Aug 17) USA 15150 kHz on Aug 21 at 1456 UT, WMLK Bethel-PA state, with amateur soloist, DEJOM? with poorly tuned piano accompaniment, singing to the tune of the Israeli national anthem 'Hatikvah' in lingo, maybe Hebrew, then a verse I think in English, S=9+10/20dB direct, the SSOB. I guess a thing for the Messianix. RIP Kol Israel Lagola. (Glenn Hauser-OK-USA, wor & hcdx Aug 21) USA VOA / Greenville-NC bcast center developments. On Aug 11, former Greenville technician Glenn Swiderski tells me: "The agency allowed Greenville to get two technicians back to work. Also, Kari Lake's right-hand and the boss of OCB are visiting Greenville next week, to see the station. Lake's guy is pro-shortwave from what I under- stand. Also the new (?) 100 kW Continental rig is on site. Good things to come? Who knows. Glenn Swiderski".

Normally blasts in on 12160 kHz, but weak and fadey today with propagation disturbance, K index 5.33 with G1/R1 storms per WWV.

Aug 25 First heard at 0712 UT with a very weak signal, but strengthened somewhat by the time I retuned at 0731 UT. Active atmospheric noise made listening chal- lenging, perhaps it was a religious talk by a female announcer. This sta- tion is rarely heard at Mount Evelyn and never at this time! So, this re- ception in the Kurth Kiln forest is stunning (well before the 0753 UT sunset on that day!).
