CANADA Kanadas Zeitzeichensender CHU Ottawa wird im Juni auf Kurzwelle
eingestellt.
Am 22. Juni wird das National Research Council Canada, kurz NRC, den Kurz-
wellen-Sendebetrieb seiner offiziellen Zeitzeichenstation CHU dauerhaft
einstellen. Ab diesem Tag bleiben die vertrauten Frequenzen 3330 kHz,
7850 kHz und 14.670 kHz leer. Das NRC verweist fuer die Zukunft nuechtern
auf moderne Alternativen: das Network Time Protocol, kurz NTP, fuer Com-
puter, Web-Uhren und den klassischen Telefondienst.
Die Geschichte von CHU reicht erstaunlich weit zurueck - in eine Epoche,
als das Radio selbst noch in den Kinderschuhen steckte. Alles begann im
Jahr 1923 unter der Aegide des Dominion Observatory in Ottawa. Die ersten
experimentellen Aussendungen liefen unter dem Rufzeichen 9CC auf der Lang-
welle auf 275 m.
Wer noch keinen Empfangsbericht nach Ottawa geschickt hat, sollte die ver-
bleibende Zeit bis zum Juni nutzen. Das NRC hat bestaetigt, dass korrekte
erichte nach wie vor mit der traditionellen CHU-QSL-Karte beantwortet wer-
den. Die Karte zeigt historisch passend Sir Sandford Fleming, den kana-
dischen Eisenbahningenieur und "Vater der weltweiten Zeitzonen".
Empfangsberichte koennen per E-Mail oder ganz klassisch per Post gesendet
werden an:

Canada’s Time Signal Station CHU Ottawa to Cease Shortwave Transmissions
in June 2026.
On June 22, the National Research Council Canada — known as the NRC — will
permanently discontinue the shortwave broadcasting operations of its offi-
cial time signal station, CHU.
From that day forward, the familiar frequencies of 3330 kHz, 7850 kHz, and
14,670 kHz will fall silent. For the future, the NRC points matter - of -
factly to modern alternatives: the Network Time Protocol (NTP) for com-
puters, web-based clocks, and the traditional telephone service.
The history of CHU stretches back an astonishingly long way — to an era
when radio itself was still in its infancy. It all began in 1923 under the
aegis of the Dominion Observatory in Ottawa. The initial experimental
broadcasts were transmitted under the call sign 9CC on the longwave band
at 275 meters.
Anyone who has not yet sent a reception report to Ottawa should make use
of the time remaining until June. The NRC has confirmed that valid reports
will continue to be acknowledged with the traditional CHU QSL card. Fit-
tingly, the card features an image of Sir Sandford Fleming — the Canadian
railway engineer and "father of worldwide time zones".
Reception reports may be sent via email or, in the classic tradition, via
postal mail to:
Radio Station CHU, 1200 Montreal Road, Building M-36, Ottawa, Ontario,
K1A 0R6, Canada, North America.
A comprehensive report on this topic, including further details, can be

CHINA 'Yunnan Radio International' on SW continues broadcasting, while
YRI on 101.7 FM local transmission closes down.
Cahcn's posting (Google translation)
<https://cahcn.github.io/posts/2026-05-28-yunnan-fm101.7.html>
"Yunnan International Broadcasting stopped using FM101.7 transmissions.
On May 28, Yunnan Radio and Television Station announced that Yunnan
International Broadcasting's FM101.7 FM frequency in Kunming will cease
transmission on May 30, 2026.
According to radio enthusiasts' monitoring reports over the past two days
[please see my remote log/audio below - Ron], Yunnan International Broad-
casting has a shortwave frequency of 6035 kHz transmitted normally.
Yunnan International Broadcasting, formerly known as "Yunnan Radio Sta-
tion Yunling Voice," which launched in 1986, broadcasts programs in both
Chinese and Vietnamese, with signals directed toward Vietnam. It is one
of three international broadcasters in China mainland with independent
transmission coverage."
Some of my observed history: PBS Yunnan (6035 kHz SW) with FM99 relay;
1300 UT, Nov 12, 2020. The usual time pips, Beijing time check, station's
singing "Radio Shangri-la" jingle; followed by spoken English ("Flying
with the heart, traveling with the sound of Shangri-la"). On Jan 10, 2021,
I heard the new multi-language IDs ("Yunnan Radio International") for the
first time, no longer with FM99 / Radio Shangri-la programming.
Todays remote log/audio:
CHINA 6035 kHz Yunnan Radio International, 1145+ UT, June 1, good re-
ception via Khon Kaen, Thailand KSDR remote; best in USB, due to strong
DRM on 6030kHz (China CNR1 Beijing site); in Chinese with announcers and
some EZL music; 12.00 UT, multi-language IDs ("Yunnan Radio Internatio-
nal"), continuing in Chinese with announcers and mostly airing EZL songs;
13.00 UT, multi-language IDs; introduction in Vietnamese and Chinese, then
into the Vietnamese programming. So I believe this schedule then is still
correct - Vietnamese 10.00-10.30 and 13.00-13.30 UT, otherwise in Chinese,
as often observed in the past. I'm very pleased to find that YRI SW is
still active !

The correct name of the original party was the Communist Party of Malaya.
The CPM did not initially recognise the division of MLA and SNG into
separate states in 1965 and kept the name it had used since the time of
the British Empire, referring to both territories. The CPM later split
with the second group calling itself the Malaysian Communist Party.
However this second party also split. I will check my records on this
later to see which group bc Voice of the People of Malaysia.
Also according to the writer Bertil Lintner "During the 1970s, S The
Communist Party of Malaya's Suara Revolusi Malaya ("Voice of the Malayan

this means that Tibet is not treated as an independent state or as having
separate sovereignty. The Tibetan government-in-exile (Central Tibetan
Administration) is not recognized. However, the German government supports
the cultural and religious autonomy of the Tibetan people ("genuine auto-

CZECH REPUBLIC Czech Television may lay off up to 500 employees after
budget cut, Employees of Czech Television and Czech Radio protest against
changes in funding, Union at the Government Office on strike alert over
transfer of agendas.
If its budget were reduced by approximately one billion Czech crowns, as
envisaged in the government's proposed legislation from next year, Czech
Television (CT) would have to lay off between 300 and 500 employees. This
was stated today at the Digimedia conference by deputy director-general
Milan Fridrich. CT currently employs nearly 3,000 people and operates with
a budget of 8.5 billion crowns.
According to Fridrich, in addition to mass layoffs and the associated se-
verance costs, CT would also have to cancel major production projects al-
ready underway, including drama productions. This would lead to further
expenses in the form of contractual penalties for terminating projects.
In 2028, the public broadcaster also faces the prospect of losing an addi-
tional 400 to 450 million crowns that it currently receives through an
exemption allowing VAT deductions. This exemption is set to expire at the
end of next year.
Employees of Czech Television and Czech Radio protest against changes in
funding.
Hundreds of employees of Czech Television (CT) came today dressed in black
in front of the main building at Kavci hory to express their protest
against changes in the funding of public service media, which the govern-
ing coalition wants to push through. A protest also took place today in
front of the headquarters of Czech Radio in Vinohrady. Staff from both
media outlets also met in Brno and Ostrava.

Czech energy giant CEZ takes first step towards full state ownership.
Czech energy giant CEZ has won shareholder approval for a restructuring
that many analysts see as the first step towards full nationalisation. By
separating distribution and retail businesses from electricity generation,
the company could raise billions of crowns for a future buyout of minority
shareholders. The government says the move would help secure long-term
investment in nuclear power and energy infrastructure.

DRM/CHINA China National Radio's DRM shortwave digital radio test broad-
casts.
<https://cahcn.github.io/posts/2026-06-03-13860khz-drm.html>
2026 June 3 DRM 13825 kHz / 13860 kHz
<https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/WSigC2-4oFyd6sLTMeQjaw>
09:00-17:00 UT 13825 kHz. 05:00-19:00 UT 13860 kHz.
On June 3, 2026, the frequencies for China National Radio's DRM shortwave
digital radio test broadcasts will be adjusted.
From June 3 to June 6, 2026, broadcasts on 13825 kHz from Beijing will be
suspended, and broadcasts will instead be transmitted on 13860 kHz.
<https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/WSigC2-4oFyd6sLTMeQjaw>
Broadcast times are as follows:
09:00-17:00 UT 13825 kHz (transmission suspended)
05:00-19:00 UT 13860 kHz (additional frequency)
According to frequency information coordinated by the HFCC.org, 13860 kHz
is scheduled for use from June 3 to June 10; for some reason, the official
announcement only provided broadcast information for June 3 through June 6
Recently, the DRM Consortium released a revised edition of the DRM Techni-
cal Handbook. The 83-page handbook was officially launched during the DRM
General Assembly held in Indonesia. The handbook details the practical im-
plementation of DRM technology at both the transmitter and receiver ends,
as well as the various types of programming services that the technology
can support.
In its announcement, the DRM Consortium stated: "The scope of this revi-
sion exceeded initial plans. In addition to routine updates to technical
specifications and the addition of a substantial list of DRM trials and
case studies, the 6th edition of the handbook also features in-depth opti-
mizations at the technical detail level."
The manual includes numerous new examples that provide a detailed intro-
duction to DRM multichannel broadcasting technology; it also features case
studies on the Amplitude Modulation Signaling System (AMSS), which provi-
des service signaling for traditional analog AM broadcasting; and offers a
detailed explanation of the Emergency Warning Manager (EWF Manager)—a core
component that interfaces with national emergency warning systems to enab-
le DRM emergency broadcasting capabilities.
Furthermore, the manual discusses the DRM text messaging service (Journa-
line), outlining pathways for commercial revenue generation through pre-
cise audience targeting, interactive features, and listening data analy-
tics. It includes regional solutions adapted to local character sets in
various countries, along with reference materials necessary for the deve-
lopment and implementation of receivers.

IRAN Re: Iran responds to Radio Payam with SW relay of IRIB Radio Payam
on 9330 kHz.
Apologies, I asked my friend in Iran to double check this after some con-
fusion. He listened again. On a second listen he heard mention of
Mujahideen Khalq. There is talk about how people overthrew the sjah shah
and how Mujahideen are defending the truth. He said this is Mujahideen
Khalq, and not the IRGC. This is what confused him initially. He said that
the woman is reading messages people sent her and that this is also a re-
volutionary movement, but not the current regime. So the tone is in fact
similar to the domestic Radio Payam, and it is a revolutionary station,
but not IRIB.

JAPAN Demographic Trends in Japan Reflected in Amateur Radio.
Demographic trends in Japan are impacting many areas of life. From this
perspective, a report from the Japanese news portal "Hamlife" may be
understood: according to the report, the number of radio amateurs in the
country has declined over the past 10 years—dropping from 435,969 in
January 2016 to 332,120 in January of this year.
These figures originate from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The average
age in Japan stands at 50.2 years, with women having a life expectancy of
87 years and men a life expectancy of 81 years.
For comparison: In Germany, the average age is 44.9 years. Life expectancy
in this country is 83.2 years for women and 78.5 years for men. Over the
past five years, Japan has lost approximately three million inhabitants.

If my translation software worked correctly, I think that VoA Korean will
increase to 8 hours weekdays in June beginning Wednesday 3 June on 9940

Korean broadcasts will air eight hours a day starting Wednesdays on week-

time), and you can listen all 8 hours a day on the 9940kHz. The four hours
are broadcast live until xx, and the remaining four hours are sent to xx

Hi, by chance I happen to capture the beginning of this what I think is
a peculiar broadcast, TheReportOfTheWeek, aka Reviewbrah. It was my first
time listening. What caught my attention was the site from where it was
being relayed from, Taiwan, as mentioned by the announcer, as you can hear
in the recording I'm sending.
I figure you probably have heard this or is been reported to you; but I
found it rather interesting.
I used the Kiwi SDR remote in San Juan Del Rio in the State of Queretaro
Mexico <http://grupodiexistamx-sdr.proxy.kiwisdr.com:8073/>
at 09:00 to 10:00 UT [on Thursday bcast only, ed. i.e.} May 28.
(is supposed to be a weekly broadcast) on 9705 kHz with a 35333 SINPO.
The listing on short-wave.info says the transmission originates from
Paochung* Taiwan with 100 kW and a 205 azimuth but I don't know how accu-
rate that is. I very much like the old style format of the program and
the announcer is, as the broadcast, a peculiar individual.

On Sunday (June 7th), RADIO DARC will be broadcasting simultaneously on

using identical antennas and transmitters, each with a power output of
125 kW.The transmitters, which are normally linked, will be operated sepa-
rately. This will allow listeners to compare the reception quality on the
41-meter and 31-meter bands. Please send feedback to

The reason for this experiment is the change in propagation conditions
during the summer. In recent weeks, there have been problems with the
broadcasts from ENC Woofferton (England), especially in western and nor-
thern Germany, due to the seasonal increase in the dead zone.

U.K. Re: Long wave frequency changes soon.
Chris Greenway's "BBC Broadcasting on Longwave" (Part 6) in July 2024's
"Communication":
"On 1 February 1988, the longwave frequency used by Droitwich, Burghead
and Westerglen was changed from 200 kHz (a wavelength of 1500 metres) to
198 kHz (1515 metres), to meet the requirement for all LW and MW frequen-
cies outside the Americas to be exact multiples of nine.
The BBC had used longwave 200 kHz since 1934 and "fifteen hundred metres"
had become a familiar phrase to generations of listeners."
This had originally appeared as a long thread on Chris's X (Twitter)
account and is also on his blogspot:
<https://radioatlanticodelsur.blogspot.com/2025/06/the-bbc-
on-longwave-1924-2025.html>
Full LW changes were as follows in radio history:
1st five channels 155, 164, 173, 182 and 191 kHz would move to
153, 162, 171, 180 and 189 kHz on 1st February 1986.
2nd five channels would move on 1st February 1988.
Last five channels would move on 1st February 1990.
Though observations showed France Inter remained on 163.84 {? 164 kHz ?},
Voice of the GDR moved to 177 (from 179) kHz, Europe No. 1 moved to 183
(from 185) kHz. Deutschlandfunk did move from 155 to 153 kHz and Sweden
did move from 191 to 189 kHz.

confused with IRIB station of the same name.

U.K. 15615 kHz (ex 11815 kHz ) TVS RADIO PAYAM. 17.00 - 21.00 UT
From today June 1, 11815 kHz from ENC Woofferton bcast center has
been replaced by 15615 kHz. The higher frequency should make the broadcast
less susceptible to jamming (using so called "twilight immunity").
No jamming observed so far (listened from 17.45-18.02 UT). Some signal may
be heard in North America (East), off the back of the antenna.

U.K. BBC World Service testing.
While I was waiting for FRS Holland to start on advertised 5875 kHz at
16.30 UT yesterday May 31, I noticed a strong DRM digital audio signal on
5875 kHz. I was able to decipher it on the Weston Kiwi SDR remotedly.
It was the BBC WS in English, reporting on the Arsenal open top bus parade
through North London yesterday. The signal went on and off a few times.
The station relaying FRSH, which I believe was 'Mike Radio', moved to 5840
kHz, before settling on 5842 kHz.
The BBC test was a very good and clear signal.

VATICAN STATE What's happening at Vatican Radio ?
It will from November be led by the current head of EWTN News. The "Fox

once called it and reported that the Buenos Aires Pope made a remark about
a "deed of the devil".
<https://www.vaticannews.va/en/pope/news/2026-06/pope-prefect-

rations, with particular mentions of the costly media apparatus. So there
could indeed be more to these missing programmes.

At 12.30 UT, heard classical music, not the scheduled Russian program, on
21760 kHz, signal much better than // 17790 kHz. Both channels went off at
12.50 UT.
At 21.00 UT, same classical music noted, instead of the scheduled Portu-
guese for Africa, on 11870 kHz. (English and French, at 20.00 and at
20.30 UT, respectively, were aired as scheduled today on 11870 and 9705
kHz).
Does anyone know what is going on at this broadcaster ? I hope someone
with knowledge of this matter can provide some news about Vatican Radio.

HAM RADIO in Friedrichshafen vom 26. bis 28. Juni 2026.
Vom 26. bis 28. Juni ist es wieder soweit - Europas groesste Amateurfunk-
messe, die HAM RADIO, findet auf dem Messegelaende in Friedrichshafen am
Bodensee statt. Erwartet werden wieder viele tausend Besucher. Vor Ort
koennen Sie ein vielfaeltiges Programm aus der gesamten Palette des
Amateurfunks erleben.
Der grosse HAM-Flohmarkt laedt zum Stoebern ein, bei Haendlern sind neue
Technik-Trends zu erfahren und auch der grosse ideelle Bereich gibt Ein-
blicke in viele Themen. Im Bodenseetreffen rundet alles mit einer grossen
Auswahl an Vortraegen ab.
Das Messe-Motto in diesem Jahr lautet ueberdies:
"Discover the Sky - Amateur Radio meets Astronomy".
Das kommt nicht von ungefaehr, da die Messe Friedrichshafen in diesem Jahr
erstmals die neue Messe ASTRO // am Samstag, den 27. Juni veranstaltet.
Die Schnittmengen mit dem Amateurfunk liegen auf der Hand, denken wir an
Erde-Mond-Erde-Verbindungen, Satellitenfunk oder im nahen Erdumfeld auch
Meteorscatter.
Das Eintrittsticket gilt fuer beide Messen. Freuen Sie sich also auf ein
spannendes Wochenende am Bodensee. Der DARC freut sich, viele Mitglieder
und Freunde des DARC wiederzutreffen. Wir wuenschen Ihnen schon jetzt eine
gute Anreise !

HAM RADIO in Friedrichshafen: June 26 to 28, 2026.
From June 26 to 28, the time has come again: Europe’s largest amateur
radio trade fair—HAM RADIO—will take place at the exhibition grounds in
Friedrichshafen, on the shores of Lake Constance. Once again, many thou-
sands of visitors are expected. On-site, you can experience a diverse
program covering the entire spectrum of amateur radio.
The large HAM flea market invites you to browse; vendors offer a chance
to discover the latest technological trends; and the extensive "non-
commercial" section provides insights into a wide variety of topics.
The "Lake Constance Gathering" rounds off the event with a broad selec-
tion of lectures.
Moreover, this year’s trade fair motto is:
"Discover the Sky – Amateur Radio meets Astronomy."
This choice is no coincidence, as Messe Friedrichshafen is hosting a new
trade fair—ASTRO — for the very first time this year, on
Saturday, June 27. The overlaps with amateur radio are obvious — one need
only think of Earth-Moon-Earth (EME) communication, satellite radio, or —
within the near-Earth environment—meteor scatter.
Your admission ticket grants access to both trade fairs. So, look forward
to an exciting weekend on Lake Constance !
The DARC looks forward to reuniting with many of its members and friends.
We wish you a safe and pleasant journey!
