AUSTRIA   ORF Salzburg - 100 Jahre Radio-das Polyphon (?)

Was ist das ?

<https://salzburg.orf.at/stories/3275841/>

Lange Nacht im ORF-Landesstudio Salzburg feiert 100 Jahre Radio.

Der ORF Salzburg beteiligt sich heuer mit einer eigenen Ausstellung an der
'Langen Nacht der Museen' am Samstag. Bei einem Rundgang durch das Landes-
studio koennen 100 Jahre Radiogeschichte multimedial erlebt werden.

Oesterreich feiert dieser Tage ein ganz besonders Jubilaeum:
Vor genau 100 Jahren wurde hierzulande erstmals eine Radiosendung ausge-
strahlt. Diesem Anlass widmet sich auch das ORF-Landesstudio Salzburg. In
einer eigenen *Ausstellung wird auf die vergangenen hundert Jahre bewegter
Radiogeschichte zurueckgeblickt.

Kulturredakteur i.R. Hannes Eichmann im Foyer des ORF Salzburg.

ORF-Mitarbeiter bei der Fuehrung durch die Ausstellung im Foyer des von
Gustav Peichl 1972 erbauten Landesstudios.

Die ersten Hoerer wurden auch Radio-Amateure genannt, viele haben sich
die ersten Empfangsgeraete selbst gebaut.

Programmchef Christopher Poehl von Radio Salzburg kennt den Sender seit
seinen Kindertagen.

Hannes Eichmann und Karoline Koller schwelgen in Erinnerungen an legen-
daere Radio-Salzburg-Stimmen.

100 Jahre Radio zum Begreifen und Anhoeren bietet das "Polyphon" vor dem
Publikumsstudio.

Beim Oeffnen jeder einzelnen Schublade ertoenen jeweils sorgsam aus-
gewaehlte Ausschnitte aus Radio Salzburg im Wandel der Zeit.

Bewegte Geschichte.
"Hallo, hallo! Hier Radio Wien auf Welle 503" - mit diesem ikonischen Satz
nahm die Vorgaengerin des ORF, die Radio-Verkehrs-AG (RAVAG) ihren Sende-
betrieb 1924 auf.Es war der Startschuss fuer die schnelle und erfolgreiche
Verbreitung des ersten elektronischen Massenmediums.

Salzburg machte schon frueh Erfahrungen mit dem neuen Medium :
Die Salzburger Festspiele waren 1925, ein Jahr nach der ersten Radio-
sendung, im Programm vertreten. Bis Radio in Salzburg empfangbar wurde,
sollten aber noch weitere fuenf Jahre vergehen. 1930 wurde dafuer der
erste Sender auf dem Moenchsberg installiert.

Radio ist nach wie vor beliebtes Medium.
Die multimediale Ausstellung im Landesstudio Salzburg dokumentiert die
100-jaehrige Geschichte des Radios. Das Medium wurde bereits wiederholt
totgesagt und zaehlt heute dennoch zu den beliebtesten Medien, sagt der
Kurator der Ausstellung, Hannes Eichmann: "Es ist wie mit dem Kino und
dem Fernsehen, das wurde auch oft totgesagt und es lebt trotzdem.
Radio ist ein Medium, das einfach herzustellen ist, die Menschen direkt
anspricht und die Fantasie anregt."

Allein aus dem ORF-Landesstudio Salzburg werden taeglich fast 200.000
Hoererinnen und Hoerer erreicht. Wie Radio gehoert wird, hat sich aller-
dings stark veraendert, sagt die Direktorin des Landesstudios Salzburg,
Waltraud Langer: "Frueher hat sich die Familie um das Radiogeraet geschart
und man musste direkt beim Radio sitzen.Inzwischen gibt es so viele Arten,
wie man Radio hoeren kann - und auch das zeigen wir hier."

Ausstellung kann bis Maerz 2025 besichtigt werden.
Die Ausstellung wird am Samstagabend im Rahmen der 'ORF-Langen Nacht der
Museen' eroeffnet. Begleitend dazu wird die 'Lange Nacht des Radios' live
aus dem ORF Publikumsstudio gesendet. Das ORF-Landesstudio kann am Samstag
ab 18 Uhr mit einem Ticket der Langen Nacht der Museen besucht werden.

Die Ausstellung "Hundert Jahre Radio" ist danach bis *Maerz 2025 zu sehen.

AUSTRIA   {ORS Moosbrunn archive item from Dec 2014}

ORS-Sendezentrum wird geschlossen.

Der Oesterreichische Rundfunk (ORF) kaufte im Jahr 1959 zwischen den Wohn-
gebieten Moosbrunn und Mitterndorf 80 Hektar Wiesenflaechen und errichtete
dort eine Kurzwellensendeanlage mit angeschlossenem Sendegebaeude, die in
den nachfolgenden Jahren staendig erweitert wurde.

Aufgrund der hohen Sendeleistung kam es immer wieder zu Stoerungen bei
elektronischen Geraeten im Moosbrunner Gemeindegebiet. Sorgen der Bevoel-
kerung ueber moegliche gesundheitliche Beeintraechtigungen, aber auch der
Aerger ueber diese Probleme muendeten schlussendlich in der Beauftragung
einer Studie, die in den 90er Jahren von den Gemeinden Moosbrunn,
Gramatneusiedl und Mitterndorf in Auftrag gegeben wurde. Im Zuge der um-
fangreichen Erhebungen vom Universitaetsinstitut fuer Umwelthygiene waren
zu guter Letzt (Gott sei Dank) keine gesundheitlichen Beeintraechtigungen
feststellbar.

Trotzdem Moosbrunn durch den Sender in der ganzen Welt einen Bekanntheits-
grad erlangte, war die Begeisterung innerhalb der Bevoelkerung - bedingt
durch die technischen Stoerungen - doch sehr verhalten. Eine nochmalige
Erweiterung der Sendeanlage konnte vor der Jahrtausendwende verhindert
werden. Da der Betrieb von Radio Oesterreich International im Auftrag der
Oesterreichischen Bundesregierung vor einigen Jahren eingestellt wurde,
kommt es seitdem nur mehr zu Auftragssendungen, dies fuehrte auch zu einer
wesentlichenVerringerung der Sendeleistungen. Immer wieder gab es behoerd-
liche Verhandlungen und Besprechungen mit der Geschaeftsleitung der Kurz-
wellensendeanlage.

Nunmehr fand am 1. Dezember 2014 von Buergermeister Gerhard Hauser, Vize-
buergermeister Ing. Robert Huber und geschaeftsf. Gemeinderat Dipl. Ing.
Paul Fruehling ein Gespraech mit dem kaufmaennischen Direktor des ORF,
Mag. Richard Grasl statt, um die derzeitige und auch zukuenftige betrieb-
liche Nutzung der Sendeanlage zu besprechen. Dabei wurde den Gemeindeman-
dataren mitgeteilt, dass der Betrieb der Sendeanlage aus heutiger Sicht
bis laengstens 2020 weitergefuehrt wird. Damit gehoeren senderbedingte
Stoerungen hoffentlich bald der Vergangenheit an.

GUAM   KTWR B24 DRM Schedule

Hi everyone. We hope your shortwave listening experiences have gone well
with the current elevated solar activity. We have seen signals do some in-
teresting things over the past year or so.

Now that the B24 HFCC conference is over, we can let you know what our DRM
broadcast schedule will be. We had to delete one broadcast to China and
split the South Asia broadcast blocks.

The broadcast to Japan will continue its experiment with the 25-m band. We
may change this back to 31 meters at mid-season if the data indicates the
need to do so. Finding a frequency free of digital interference has been a
challenge.

Another experiment will be using two different antennas for the 15390 kHz
broadcasts. The Sunday broadcast will be beamed mostly toward central
India while the Saturday broadcast will continue the southern India head-
ing. Please let us know the differences in performance that you notice.

DRM broadcasts (Effective 27 October 2024), 90 kW:

Designated Day Time (UTC) Frequency Coverage Area Language
Saturday 1059-1130 12040 kHz China English  305 degr azimuth.
Saturday 1130-1230 11965 kHz Japan Japanese, En. 50kW, 350degr azimuth.
Sunday   1600-1645 15390 kHz India English  290 degr azimuth.
Saturday 1600-1630 15390 kHz India South Indian languages,

HUNGARY   The world record for medium-wave power at 2000 km {sic} is cele-
brating its 50th anniversary. The foundation stone for the Solt medium-
wave transmitter was laid on 5 Sept 1974, and it's going strong! While
some countries prefer to ignore the protection of national minorities in
one of their regions, Hungary ensures it even in neighbouring countries
where three million Magyar speakers live.

There used to be a national transmitter at Lakihegyi, but due to inter-
ference it no longer covered the desired area at night. In 1970, Hungary
decided to install a new 2000 kW transmitter. The transmitter, consist-
ing of two 1000 kW units, was of Russian manufacture.

A 120 kV high-voltage line fed the centre over the Danube. The antenna
consisted of a lattice tower with a triangular cross-section, 303.6 m
high, resting on two cylindrical ceramic insulators. Stability was ensur-
ed by three rows of steel cables separated by porcelain insulators. The
whole structure weighed 184.5 tonnes.

But over 40 years of operation, the power and sound quality deteriorated
and the transmitter was deemed to be too energy-consuming. The transmit-
ters consumed more than 6,400 kW: 2,000 kW was sent to the antenna and the
remaining 4,400kW was given off as heat. In 2017, Hungary did not hesitate
to replace its 2000 kW medium-wave transmitter with a new one of the same
power.

An ultra-modern solid-state transmitter supplied by the Canadian company
NAUTEL. It consists of five transmitter blocks, each with a capacity of
400 kW. Coupled together, they produce a carrier of 2 MW. Efficiency has
risen from 30% to over 90%, and improvements to the antenna circuit have
increased the area covered.

In addition to the possibility of DRM,the new installation has 3 major ad-
vantages: energy consumption is considerably reduced; the installation is
remotely controlled; and modules can be replaced during operation. Despite
commissioning the new transmitter, the radio station wanted to keep its
old transmitter in reserve. This turned out to be unnecessary, because
even if it failed, the new transmitter could continue to broadcast at re-
duced power by isolating the faulty module. The emergency transmitter in-
stalled at Lakihegyi was also useless. Today, it is only used to transmit
the long-wave radiosignal.

By maintaining the world-record power of 2,000 kW, Radio Kossuth is able
to broadcast better than ever throughout Hungary, Slovakia and substantial
parts of Austria, Croatia, Bosnia, Serbia and Romania. At night, the
station can be received in good conditions throughout Europe. To those who
claim that medium wave is 'finished', Hungary is thumbing its nose at
them, and it is not about to abandon this range of waves! It will be on
the air for a long time to come.

cularly loud and strong during the preceding Chinese bit 0018 UT. However,
it was really over-modulated and muddy sounding, almost incomprehensible.
English at 0045UT did not appear. Actually, I'm not really sure if English
is a daily segment at 0045 UT.

Any idea what was going on there? See link below for two video clips.

JAPAN   Very Good Reception of NHK Koga-Ibaragi-Yamata Japan, into NB-CAN.

Very good signal here in NB {east CAN} yesterday (25 September) from NHK
in Japanese direct from Yamata on 11910 kHz with transmitter sign-on at
20:55:09 UTC and audio starting a few seconds later. Reception continued
at a good level for a couple of hours while slowly degrading. Became poor
and then unusable in the third hour. From my recording, transmitter
appeared to sign-off within a few seconds of 00:00 UTC.

I presume propagation was across Europe to eastern Canada given the beam
direction of 290 degr. But this transmission has also been received in
Brazil according to a report I read. In that case, perhaps off the back of
the transmitting antenna and one or two favourable signal bounces off the
Pacific Ocean.
(Richard Langley-NB-CAN, wor Sept 26)

re:  Very Good Reception of NHK Koga-Ibaragi-Yamata Japan, into NB-CAN.

As I mentioned, reception of NHK in Japanese was quite good. As I don't
understand Japanese except for the usual few words, I submitted the first
half hour or so of my recording to the online TuboScribe service, which
offers three free under 30-minute file transcriptions per day. After gett-
ing, in this case, the Japanese text, you can get a translation using the
Google translator; in my case, into English. Before the top of the hour
(21:00 UT), my recording was of an extended weather report. Then, there
was this:

"This is NHK World, Radio Japan, and NHK's international broadcast. After
this, we will also be broadcasting in Japanese from 6:00 a.m. Japan time.
Japanese broadcasts from 6:00 a.m. will be on 11.910 MHz for continental
Asia and 11.910 MHz for Southeast Asia. We will report on frequencies
above 965 MHz. This is NHK World, Radio Japan, and NHK International
Broadcasting. We have announced this with AI.

We will report on NHK World, Radio Japan, and NHK International Broadcast-
ing. It's 6 o'clock. Good morning. This is Kanachan TV every morning on
Thursday, September 26th. This is Fukushima Yuri. Every morning at
6 o'clock, we will report on news and sports information immediately after
this.

The world report from around 13 minutes is about the aim of the Italian
Navy aircraft carrier's flight to Japan. Every day from around 6:44, we
will ask Mr. Hoshino Satoshi, a researcher at Rikkyo University's Social
Design Institute, about the challenges of the elderly-centered support
business that supports elderly people living alone. Now, we will report
on the news from now on with Mr. Ishihara's announcer. Good morning."

Not a perfect translation and some obvious errors but not too bad. But
what is KanaChan TV ?  Wikipedia was not too helpful. And seems to be a
live broadcast as 21:00 UTC 6 a.m. in Japan. Does this broadcast go out
simultaneously on local networks in Japan ?

Transnistria.  Put in a good word about the Transnistrian Center.

You know, I write you something about Powerful Radio Broadcasting. Then
I open forums or chats ... And there are real wild fantasies and verbal
battles. "We need this station there, or that one", "We don't need another
one - I don't like the content", "Oh, and for such an order the center
can't even dream" and so on.

In short, armchair reasoning. There is absolutely no sense in it, but
"graphomania" is fashionable now. And everything would be fine, but in
the end, they give birth to fabrications, which people meekly believe.

Now there will be "the obvious-incredible" :

From October 1, PRTC stops broadcasting sessions of Transworld Radio.
Broadcasting of programs on frequencies of 621 kHz and 1548 kHz will be
removed.

The reasons that formed the basis for the termination of broadcasts are
two points:
1. Reduction of financial funds.
2. Sanction pressure.

The main reason, of course, is the second. Since 2023, PRTC has been in-
cluded in the sanctions list. Transmirovoe Radio is a foreign customer.
Such cooperation in the field of radio broadcasting is not approved in
the United States and TMR suffers losses from fines under the sanctions
policy.

PRTC has been a Russian radio center since 2007.

NEW ZEALAND   17675 kHz  Sept 30 at 0631 UT, surprised to find RNZP here

a case of radiation exposure on Guam; 0633 UT start another program,
'It's Personal' interview. This is not a mistake, however, as Tanino
Marabello points out  {see latest RNZ Pac schedule given above, ed.},
another sked revision shows 17675 kHz at 0000 UT until 0658 UT daily
"updated 8 Sept"! Surely was not running 17675 kHz that late already for
two sesquiweeks:

<https://www.rnz.co.nz/international/listen>

17675 kHz also at 2259-0000 UT Sun-Fri only - so that means ZERO frequen-
cies during that hour on Saturdays, surely not correct !  13690 kHz now
shown at 0659-1258 UT for Pacific daily, AND  1059-1258 UT for Solomons/
PNG on Mon-Fri only.

Does that mean one transmitter split into NW and NE antennas, or two dif-
ferent transmitters on same frequency ?  This span was previously shown on
two different frequencies. At 1259-1650 UT daily on 7440 kHz for Pacific,
which I confirmed circa 1345 after a 1-hour power outage here. 15720 kHz
at 1859-2258 UT depending on day of week, target.

This schedule can be so confusing. Instead of specifying different days
of week for each segment, they ought to have complete skeds for Mon-Fri,
another for Sat only and another for Sun only. DRM skeds should also be
separated. Also it takes a lot of fishing around website to find program
sked info, depending on whether it's RNZ domestic relay and those are of

ROMANIA   RRI Hoerertag 2024. Radio Romania International.

Liebe Freunde, jedes Jahr wird am 1. November der Tag des rumaenischen
Rundfunks gefeiert. Dieses Jahr erwarten wir sie am 3. November 2024,
dem ersten Sonntag nach dem Tag des Rundfunks, zum "Tag des Hoerers" bei
Radio Rumaenien International.

Die kuenstliche Intelligenz (KI), die direkt aus der Science-Fiction-
Literatur zu stammen scheint, aber bereits 1956 als akademische Disziplin
gegruendet wurde, ist zunehmend im Alltag praesent. Sie bewirkt tiefgrei-
fende Veraenderungen auf allen Ebenen der Gesellschaft. Die Auswirkungen
der KI, die oft mit der industriellen Revolution verglichen wird, bringen
unumstrittene Vorteile, aber auch zahlreiche Herausforderungen und beacht-
liche Risiken mit sich.

Die Meinungen der Experten sind geteilt. Waehrend die einen glauben, dass
kuenstliche Intelligenz in Zukunft unverzichtbar sein wird,sprechen andere
von ihrem Potenzial, die Menschheit zu zerstoeren.

In der Ausgabe2024 des RRI-Hoerertags fragen wir Sie, wie KI Ihrer Meinung
nach die Welt veraendern wird? Wie werden die Arbeitsplaetze der Zukunft
aussehen? Wie abhaengig werden wir von KI sein?  Wer und wie sollte der
Einsatz von KI reguliert werden? Was sind Ihrer Meinung nach die Vorteile
und Gefahren des Einsatzes von KI?

Wir freuen uns auf Ihre Antworten, die in die Sendungen von RRI am
3. November 2024 aufgenommen werden sollen! Sie koennen uns per E-Mail an
die Adresse

<germ -at- rri.ro>

oder auf Facebook ihre Meinung zukommen lassen. Wenn Sie moechten, koennen
Sie auch vorab aufgezeichnete Audio-Antworten per WhatsApp an +40744312650

This year, RRI asks you in what way you think AI will change the world.
What will the jobs of the future be like? To what extent will we depend on
AI? Who and how will have to regulate the use of AI? Which are, in your
opinion, the pros and cons of using AI?

We are waiting for your contributions, to include them in our November 3rd

Checking at 1930 UT on Sept 27 and the North American beam is not on the
air. A check just after 1800 UT on Saturday the 28th shows 17855 kHz still

the Wavescan programme.

I was surprised when AWR Wavescan started discussing an upcoming meeting
about the B19 Shortwave schedules! I didn't catch the start so I don't
know the episode. So I listened to the rest of Wavescan as usual. It was
great to hear it, even if it was 5 years old! The programme covered the
tests of WWVL in Colorado, about closing of Sentech's Meyerton transmitter
in South Africa and the loss of shortwave services to the Northern Cape of
South Africa, B19 discussion segueing to a visit to Uruguay.

Chat with Carlos in Australia. There was a Japan SWC summary of member Dx
reports. This included reports for VOA, Vatican, Radio Habana. This was
presented by the same announcer, Yuki, who does it today. A eQSL was re-
ceived from both AWR and the Japan Shortwave Club.

Argentina to the World in English has resumed (some time ago) daily one-

programmes that were introduced during Covid). WRMI currently broadcasts
the last half-hour of RAE English on 5850 kHz at 2230-2300 UT joining the

quick check of other WRMI freqs at this time, but no trace of RAE.

A well-intentioned article, but any "solution" that does not begin with
smashing the existing corporate megabeasties will ultimately fail,and even
that won't be enough on its own.

Incidentally, do a deep dive into the actual program schedules of many
LPFM stations, and while some of them harbor rather good entertainment
programs, the question of whether they truly fulfill that public interest
thing is often, well, a reasonable question.  Personally, I'm glad they
exist, but in many cases, pull out the content feeds from Pacifica et al
and you've got local DJs.

Real, honest to God regional and local public affairs programming costs
money and requires talent.  I'm not sure that even a reformed AM band
would fare too much better (but driving a stake thru the heart of the
vampires would still be a catharsis.)
