AUSTRIA   100 Jahre Radio im Grazer Museum fuer Geschichte.

Heute Donnerstag am 4.7. ist in den "Salzburger Nachrichten" ein langer
Bericht ueber die Ausstellung unter dem Titel
"Tausche Ziege gegen Radio" zu lesen:.

Auszug Das Thema Radio und Graz geht auf das Jahr 1904 zurueck. Damals war
dem Physiker Otto Nussbaumer auf der TU Graz ein beachtenswertes Experi-
ment gelungen - naehmlich die drahtlose Uebertragung der menschlichen
Stimme ueber kurze Distanz. Nussbaumer selbst hatte das Dachsteinlied ge-
sungen.

Sein Professor, Albert von Ettingshausen, zeigte sich von der Pioniertat
wenig beieindruckt: "Ihre Kiste funktioniert, aber ihr Gesang ist fuerch-
terlich."  [...]  Das Radio als Propagandainstrument ist etwa durch den
vom Reichspostministerium 1941 in Dobl bei Graz errichteten Grosssender
dokumentiert.

Diese "Trompete nach Suedosten" galt als einer der staerksten Mittel-
wellensender Europas, konnte von Norwegen bis Nordafrika empfangen werden.
Die Mittelwellenanlage ist heute als Denkmal erhalten.

Amuesant erscheinen aus heutiger Sicht Zeitungsannoncen, die zeigen, wie
sehr das Radio einst als begehrtes Tauschobjekt galt. So hiess es 1947 in
der "Murtaler Zeitung": "Sehr gutgehende, goldene Herrenuhr, erstkl. Werk
gegen neuwertiges Radio". Oder "Ziege, neumelkend, wird gegen Radio ver-
tauscht".

CHINA/ARCTIC   China has launched radio broadcasts for the safety of
shipping lanes in the Arctic.

A radio station in northern China began broadcasting information about
the current situation on Arctic waterways to ensure the safety of naviga-
tion, Xinhua reported on Tuesday.

It is noted that the radio station, located in the city of Tianjin in
northern China, began broadcasting on Monday. The station, using satel-
lite data, transmits information on ice thickness and weather forecasts
in the Bering Strait, Dmitry Laptev Strait, Vilkitsky Strait, and the
Kara Gate Strait.

Radio broadcasting will be conducted every year from July 1 to October 31
for single-sideband radiotelephones.

The agency notes that the launch of radio broadcasts will help fill the
gap in information about maritime safety on Arctic shipping routes,
thereby ensuring safe navigation for Chinese ships.

CYPRUS   EBU Tagung. Info:

Radio Vatikan: Europaeische Medien auf dem Pruefstand der KI.

In Limassol auf Zypern hat die Generalversammlung der Europaeischen Rund-
funkunion (EBU) stattgefunden. Auch Radio Vatikan war anwesend. Im Mittel-
punkt der Debatte: die Rolle der oeffentlich-rechtlichen Medien in einer
Zeit der starken Polarisierung und die Auswirkungen der kuenstlichen In-
telligenz auf die Welt der Kommunikation.

Die oeffentlich-rechtlichen Medien seien aufgerufen, eine immer wichtigere
Rolle bei der Verteidigung des demokratischen Systems in einer Zeit zu
spielen, die durch starke Polarisierungen in Politik und Gesellschaft
gekennzeichnet sei. Dies ist die Botschaft, die von Limassol, einer Stadt
im Sueden Zyperns, ausgeht, wo am Donnerstag und diesen Freitag die Gene-
ralversammlung der Europaeischen Rundfunkunion (EBU) stattfand. Es ist der
Verbund, in dem die oeffentlich-rechtlichen Rundfunk- und Fernsehanstalten
Europas zusammengeschlossen sind.

Unter ihnen ist auch Radio Vatikan, das auf dem Gipfel von Alessandro
Gisotti, dem stellvertretenden Redaktionsleiter des Dikasteriums fuer Kom-
munikation, vertreten ist. Ein grosser Teil der Veranstaltung, die vom
Praesidenten der Republik Zypern, Nikos Christodoulides, eroeffnet wurde,
war den Auswirkungen der kuenstlichen Intelligenz (KI) auf den Infor-
mationsbereich und dem Beruf der Journalisten und Kommunikationsexperten
gewidmet.

Der Generaldirektor der EBU, Noel Curran - Irland, betonte die Notwendig-
keit, ueber die technologischen Transformationsprozesse auf dem Laufenden
zu sein. Er wies darauf hin, dass man zwar von dieser neuen Technologie
profitieren muesse, es aber gleichzeitig dringend notwendig sei, die Werte
der Information zu schuetzen, angefangen bei der Suche nach der Wahrheit,
die durch den Missbrauch von KI gefaehrlich bedroht werden koenne. Auf dem
europaeischen Mediengipfel wurde ein Bericht ueber die Glaubwuerdigkeit
des Journalismus in Zeiten der KI vorgestellt

In dem Dokument wird bekraeftigt,dass Informationen die unersetzliche Auf-
gabe haben, die Fakten und Geschichten von Menschen und Gemeinschaften zu
erzaehlen. Algorithmen, die die Zeiten und Wege der neuen Technologien
diktieren, beruhen in Wirklichkeit nur auf der Berechnung von Wahr-
scheinlichkeiten.

Aufmerksamkeit wurde auch der Frage des Datenschutzes und der Datenbanken
gewidmet, die heute mehr denn je ein Risiko fuer die Freiheit der Menschen
darstellen koennen, wenn sie nicht korrekt und geregelt eingesetzt werden.

An der Veranstaltung in Limassol nahm auch der ehemalige Praesident der
Europaeischen Kommission, Jose Manuel Barroso, teil, der mit den Teilneh-
mern ueber die Herausforderungen diskutierte, die der Aufstieg populisti-
scher politischer Formationen bei den letzten Europawahlen fuer die
oeffentlich-rechtlichen Medien mit sich bringt.

Die Generalversammlung bestaetigte Delphine Ernotte, die seit 2015 an der
Spitze von France Televisions steht, fuer eine weitere zweijaehrige Amts-
zeit als Praesidentin. Die naechste EBU-Vollversammlung wird im Dezember
in Lausanne stattfinden.

European Private Shortwave Stations.

For a list of licenced private SW stations see Stig Hartvig Nielsen's
latest list. Stig writes: "Please notice that this is my final edition of
the list.

Unfortunately - the truth is that most of the shortwave stations didn't
want to cooperate. Moreover several frequencies are utilised on an enti-
rely erratic basis making it meaningless to try and publish broadcasting
hours for the different frequencies".

FRANCE/RUSSIA  {history Gabon/Portugal/Lebanon/Germany/Kazakhstan/Armenia}

Radio "Voice of Orthodoxy". Missionary broadcasting of the "Voice of
Orthodoxy" from France in Russian on short waves was carried out from 1979
to 2012 through transmitting radio stations in different countries (Gabon,
Portugal, Lebanon, Germany, Kazakhstan, Armenia)

<https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voice_of_Orthodoxy_(radio)>

Quote from an article on Wikipedia: "After this, it was possible to listen
to the "Voices of Orthodoxy" program only on the waves of the
St. Petersburg radio station "Grad Petrov" (73.1 MHz + Internet broadcast)

Indeed, the broadcasting of Radio "Voice of Orthodoxy" continues at the
present time on its essentially subsidiary radio station "Grad Petrov",
which it created earlier in St. Petersburg [site 

<https://www.grad-petrov.ru/about/ stream>

<http://www.grad-petrov.ru:8093/mp3-40>

Broadcasting schedule of "Voices of Orthodoxy" on the waves of Radio "Grad
Petrov" (UTC time):

Sat. 19.30-20.00. 
Sun. 06.00-06.30 and 23.00-23.30 (repeat).
Tue., Wed., Thu. 06.30-07.00 and 23.30-24.00 (repeat).

In Paris, the missionary society of the same name "Voice of Orthodoxy",
founded in 1979, continues its activities. His website is

<https://www.voix-orthodoxie.eu/>

Unfortunately, on this site and the site of Radio "Grad Petrov" there is
no clear information about whether the recording of "Voices of Orthodoxy"
programs continues in the Paris studio or whether these programs are being
prepared in the studio of Radio "Grad Petrov" in St. Petersburg.

The radio station was headed for many years as chairman (editor) by Proto-
presbyter Boris Alekseevich Bobrinsky or Father Boris (1925-2020). In the
first letter received from the station at the beginning of 1991, I was
thanked for my "wonderful letter" and greeted on behalf of Father Boris,
who asked me to tell you that my letter brought him and all the staff of
the "Voice of Orthodoxy" great joy. QSL was not sent to my report, because
(quote) "unfortunately, we are not part of the QSL card system."

But they sent a parcel - two books,one of them an Orthodox calendar-month-
words. The letter described the broadcasting history of the station and
indicated the release of the first program in August 1981 (not in 1979),
and "they began broadcasting regularly in October 1981, 15 minutes a week"
(quote).

The next letter came in 1993 from St. Petersburg from the Orthodox mission
of St. Anastasia, where there was then a representative office of the
"Voice of Orthodoxy" in Russia, which gradually "grew" into the new radio
station "Grad Petrov", which began broadcasting on November 18, 2000.

The above sites talk about the jamming of the "Voice of Orthodoxy" in the
Soviet Union before 1988, along with other "enemy voices", but the author
of this article has never heard on the air the jamming of religious radio
stations in Soviet times, including the "Voice of Orthodoxy".

GERMANY    DARC e.V. - Deutschland-Rundspruch 27/2024, 27. Kalenderwoche

47.HAM RADIO Messe Friedrichshafen ging mit dem Fazit von 11.300 Besuchern
zu Ende.

Auf ein Wiedersehen zur 48. HAM RADIO. Die Messe Friedrichshafen hat den
naechstjaehrigen Termin bereits bekannt gegeben, es ist der

27. bis 29. Juni 2025.

Die 47. HAM RADIO ist mit dem Fazit von 11.300 Besuchern zu Ende gegangen
und konnte nach den Pandemie-Jahren ihre Besucherzahl wieder steigern.

Vergangenes Jahr kamen 11.100 Besucher auf die Messe. Doch die HAM RADIO
war wieder einmal viel mehr als die reine Besucherzahl. Ob es der masslos
ueberfuellte Antennenvortrag von Andreas Auerswald, DL5CN, war, die herz-
lichen Umarmungen der DXer im DX-Plaza, das viele Feilschen um den rich-
tigen Preis auf dem Flohmarkt, der grossartige Applaus auf der Aktions-
buehne im Foyer, sobald Jugendliche ihre Leidenschaft fuer den Amateurfunk
praesentierten oder auch die leuchtenden Augen beim Arbeiten eines noch
fehlenden DOKs in der UKW-DOK-Boerse.

Auf die erstmals im Foyer durch die Messe Friedrichshafen organisierten
Karrieretage sollten bereits in dieser Woche Vorstellungsgespraeche fol-
gen. Der DARC-Vorsitzende Christian Entsfellner, DL3MBG, freute sich zudem
ueber die zufriedenen Stimmen der Haendler. Genau das allesamt war es, was
die "HAM" einmal wieder auszeichnete. Darueber hinaus waren es die vier
belegten Hallen, 380 teilnehmende Verbaende und Haendler aus 32 Nationen,
Besucher aus 50 Nationen sowie 110 Vortraege und Seminare.

Dass den Messebesuchern ein Highlight ins Haus stand, wurde bereits zu
Beginn auf der Eroeffnungsveranstaltung deutlich. Hier wurde zunaechst ein
Grussvideo von Verkehrsminister Volker Wissing (FDP) abgespielt.

Der Minister erinnerte darin an das Jahr 1949 und den Beginn der Amateur-
funkgesetzgebung. Das AFuG trat vor 75 Jahren in Kraft,noch vor dem Grund-
gesetz. Er betonte, dass das Tuefteln und Basteln auch heute noch seine
Relevanz habe. Seitens des Ministeriums glaubt man, dass aus dieser Szene
weiterhin grosses Wissen und Innovationen hervorkomme.

Software Defined Radio, Internet of Things und Kuenstliche Intelligenz,von
diesen neuen Entwicklungen profitieren heutzutage ohnehin alle. "Wir haben
ein offenes Ohr, auch ohne dass Sie eine erneute Backsteinaktion initi-
ieren, wie einst zu Beginn des Amateurfunkgesetzes", blickte der Minister
in die Historie. Im Anschluss sprach Christoph Keckeisen,stellvertretender
Landrat des Bodenseekreises. Auch er sieht im Amateurfunk ein sehr rele-
vantes Hobby. Trotz Internet und Handy sei der Amateurfunk imstande, viel
im Bereich des Notfunks an Hilfe zu leisten.

Im Bodenseekreis sei zudem ein Notfallstandort entstanden und er begruesse
dass der DARC bundesweit an weiteren solcher Standorte arbeite.

Der Vorsitzende Christian Entsfellner, DL3MBG, unternahm in seiner Rede
eine Reise durch die Welt des Amateurfunks.Auch er blickte nochmal auf die
Anfaenge und die Entstehung des AfuG und AFuV vor 75 Jahren zurueck. Be-
sonders bedankte er sich beim Verkehrsminister Wissing,wie er den Amateur-
funk sehe. Weiterhin freute sich DL3MBG ueber die bereits 10. Software
Defined Radio Academy auf der HAM RADIO,die neuen Moeglichkeiten innerhalb
der novellierten AFuV und die gute Zusammenarbeit mit dem Ministerium und
der Bundesnetzagentur.

Naechster Redner war Bastian Evers vom Referat DK12 aus dem Ministerium
selbst, der nochmals behoerdliche Einblicke auf die neue AFuV seitens der
Frequenzregulierung gab. Er wuenschte sich, Zitat:"dass sich mehr Menschen
dem Amateurfunk widmen werden - das ist unser gemeinsames Ziel".

In diesem Sinne - auf ein Wiedersehen zur 48. HAM RADIO.
Die Messe Friedrichshafen hat den Termin bereits bekannt gegeben, es ist
der 27. bis 29. Juni 2025.

Erste Remotestationspakete auf der HAM RADIO uebergeben.

DARC-Vorstandsmitglied Ernst Steinhauser DL3GBE, uebergab am Messe-Samstag
die ersten Remotestationspakete. Die gluecklichen Empfaenger sind Jochen
Kunz, DD1RK, aus dem OV U30; Tobias Hermle, DC2GC, aus dem OV A14 und
Andreas Koch, DH2DK, aus dem OV A50.

Zuvor gab es eine Ausschreibung in der CQ DL und darauf folgte der Bewer-
bungszeitraum von Februar bis April. Es gingen 17 Bewerbungen ein, die in
14 Foerderzusagen muendeten.

Softwareseitig kommt die Software von Roland Wolf, DL1EHP, zum Einsatz -
lesen Sie dazu sein CQ DL-Editorial in der Juli-Ausgabe. Hintergrund des
vom DARC-Vorstand initiierten Projektes ist die novellierte Amateurfunk-
verordnung (AFuV), die nun erstmals den Remotebetrieb fuer die Amateur-
funkklasse A regelt.

Der DARC will mit bundesweit verteilten Remotestationen die Moeglichkeit
schaffen, dass Amateurfunkbetrieb unter erschwerten Bedingungen, z.B. von
zu Hause ueber das Internet "remote" stattfinden kann. Sicherlich ist der
Betrieb eines gewoehnlichen Funkgeraetes aus Gruenden der Haptik nicht
gaenzlich zu ersetzen, aber die zeitgemaesse Moeglichkeit fuer DARC-Mit-
glieder laesst Funkbetrieb z.B. auch dann zu, wenn in einer Mietwohnung
keine bzw. nur eine kleine Antenne errichtet werden kann oder die elektro-
magnetische Umwelt zu stark beeintraechtigt ist.

verbreitet wird. Die deutsche Aufsichtsbehoerde, also die zustaendige
Medienanstalt, erteile nach der Aufloesung des oeffentlich-rechtlichen
RTVS offenbar keine neue Lizenz fuer den neuen slowakischen Sender STVR,
weil sie ihn "... nicht fuer ein vertrauenswuerdiges Medium ..." halte.

Auf Kurzwelle solle aber vorlaeufig - zumindest bis Ende des Jahres - das
RSI-Programm weiterhin uebertragen werden. Wir konnten diese Information
noch nicht ueberpruefen, sodass wir sie unter Vorbehalt weitergeben und

ment in Arabic with times and frequencies has been heard at around 0935UT,
and may possibly be repeated at other times as well.

NICARAGUA   Regime schliesst Radio Maria.

Nach der Sperrung der Bankkonten im April hat die Regierung Nicaraguas nun
den rechtlichen Status des Senders aufgehoben, der nach ueber 40 Jahren
Sendebetrieb aus dem mittelamerikanischen Land verschwindet.

Am 9. Juli ist in Nicaragua der rechtliche Status von Radio Maria auf-
gehoben worden. Dies berichtete die unabhaengige Website Noticias.

Die Aufloesung des Senders sowie von zwoelf weiteren Organisationen wurde
von der Innenministerin Maria Amelia Coronel genehmigt und im offiziellen
Regierungsblatt "La Gaceta de Nicaragua" angeordnet.

Offizielle Anordnung.
Zur Begruendung erklaerte die Regierung, dass Radio Maria keinen Finanz-
bericht fuer den Zeitraum 2019-2023 erstellt habe und dass die Amtszeit
der Redaktionsleitung bereits am 8. November 2021 abgelaufen sei.

Diese Massnahme folgt auf die Ankuendigung des Senders, seine Sendezeit
von 24 auf 14 Stunden zu reduzieren, sowie auf die Sperrung seiner beiden
Bankkonten, die es ihm unmoeglich machte, weiter Spenden zu erhalten und
den Betrieb aufrechtzuerhalten.

Lato z Radiem ist eine Kultsendung, die seit dem 1. Juli 1971 im Sommer im
ersten Programm des Polnischen Rundfunks ausgestrahlt wird. Aleksander
Tarnawski war Initiator und erster Leiter der Sendung.Urspruenglich war es
ein Touristenmagazin, das nur etwa ein Dutzend Minuten dauerte. Eine Neu-
heit war in den 1970er Jahren der Live-Charakter.

Seit vielen Jahren werden die Sommersendungen auch von Musikkonzerten, Fa-
milienpicknicks und anderen Aussenaktionen begleitet. 'Lato z Radiem' wird
bis Ende August taeglich von Montag bis Samstag von 9.00 bis 12.00 Uhr LT

ROMANIA/DRM mode    DRM Shortwave Transmissions from Romania Improved.

Home / Recent News / DRM Shortwave Transmissions from Romania Improved.

RRI, Radio Romania International, one of the world’s largest DRM interna-
tional broadcasters, and Radiocom, its network operator, have signifi-
cantly enhanced and optimized their DRM transmission signal this week.

This was achieved by upgrading the configuration of their DRM ContentSer-
ver head-end system with the help of Consortium member Fraunhofer IIS and
STARWAVES. The technical enhancements include a switch to DRM’s default
audio codec xHE-AAC and the addition of latest news in several languages
via DRM’s Journaline advanced text feature. The configuration is rounded
off by DRM TextMessages with DL+ tagging and graphical station logos.

This upgrade will allow RadioRomaniaInternational and Radiocom to improve
the quality and content offering as well as the presence and reach of
their international shortwave broadcasts reaching many corners all over
the world.

The quick update with significant improvements of the DRM shortwave trans-
missions from Tiganesti site (north of Bucharest) received sincerest
thanks for the DRM unconditional support from the chief engineer for na-
tional and international stations of Romanian Radio Broadcasting Corpora-
tion, Mr Costin Trif.

ROMANIA   Jingles von Radio Romania.

Viele der frueher und zum Teil noch heute verwendeten Jingles von Radio

<https://search.upright-music.pl/album/e22d2444-1ea6-48a3-808c-
6e88542e817e>

Gleich der erste Track ("Noon Bulletin") lief zum Beispiel frueher immer
bei den Nachrichten und hat sich tief in mein Gedaechtnis eingepraegt. Hin
und wieder ist er noch als Filler bei RRI zu hoeren.

"Extrasport" lief auch frueher bei den Nachrichten auf R.R. Actualitati;
"Breaking News" ist noch heute regelmaessig auf Antena Satelor zu hoeren;
"Publicity" kenne ich aus dem russischen Programm von RRI etc.

Und "FamilyTime" glaube ich aus irgendeiner Werbung im Deutschen Fernsehen
zu kennen (?)

SLOVAK REPUBLIC   As reported by the Russian edition of the Slovak foreign
broadcasting Radio Slovakia International (RSI), with reference to the
state news agency of the Slovak Republic TASR (Tlacova agentura Slovenskej
republiky), on June 30 this year. Slovak President Peter Pellegrini signed
the new Law on Slovak Television and Slovak Radio. This means that this
law comes into force on July 1, 2024.

Moreover, the president had previously stated that he would sign this law
only if it did not contradict the Constitution. Thus, Peter Pellegrini
considered that the said law adopted by the Slovak Parliament does not
contradict the Constitution of the Slovak Republic.

According to the new law, public (state) Slovak television and Radio
Rozhlas a televizia Slovenska - RTVS now has a new name - Slovenska tele-
vizia a rozhlas - STVR.

According to the Ministry of Culture of Slovakia,which proposed the renam-
ing, the old name did not reflect Slovak statehood. Instead of the adjec-
tive "Slovak", denoting the state- forming nation, the name Slovakia is
used in the new name.

SLOVAK REPUBLIC   Slowakei: RTVS ab Juli 2024 Geschichte.

Das oeffentlich-rechtliche Slowakische Radio und Fernsehen (RTVS) wird und
zum 1. Juli 2024 durch eine neue Institution namens Slowakisches Fernsehen
und Radio (STVR) ersetzt.

Das entsprechende Gesetz wurde am 20.Juni 2024 von Abgeordneten des Natio-
nalrats der Slowakischen Republik angenommen: 78 Abgeordnete stimmten da-
fuer, keiner der anwesenden Parlamentarier stimmte dagegen,keiner enthielt
sich der Stimme. Oppositionsabgeordnete von PS, KDH, SaS und der Bewegung
Slovensko verliessen aus Protest den Plenarsaal, sodass sie bei der Abstim-
mung nicht anwesend waren.

Das Gesetz aus der Werkstatt des Kulturministeriums unter Fuehrung der
Slowakischen Nationalpartei (SNS) wurde in einem verkuerzten Verfahren
behandelt; die Abgeordneten hatten nur 12 Stunden Zeit fuer die Debatte.

Einzelne Aenderungen am Gesetzentwurf der Regierung wurden ueberwiegend
von den Koalitionsabgeordneten vorgenommen.

Der 2022 parlamentarisch fuer fuenf Jahre gewaehlte RTVS-Generaldirektor
Lubos Machaj endet somit vorzeitig in seiner Funktion - zusammen mit der
gesamten bislang oeffentlich-rechtlichen Einrichtung an sich.Der kuenftige
Sender wird mindestens in den ersten drei Monaten ohne Generaldirektor und
ohne den neu entstehenden Rat operieren. In der Zwischenzeit wird die
Medienarbeit von einem vom slowakischen Praesidenten Peter Pellegrini
ausgewaehlten Beamten ueberwacht, in diesem Fall von seinem Stellvertreter
Peter Ziga (Hlas-SD).

Waehrend der Debatte im Nationalrat kam eine protestierende Gruppe von
RTVS-Mitarbeitenden vor das Parlamentsgebaeude. RTVS habe die Verabschie-
dung des Gesetzes zu respektieren, jedoch wurde zugleich nochmals auf die
Risiken hingewiesen, die mit der Anwendung des Gesetzes verbunden sind.

RTVS gelte nach wie vor als angesehene Institution,die die Parameter einer
oeffentlichen, unabhaengigen Informationsmedien-, Kultur- und Bildungs-
einrichtung erfuelle. "Es ist ein schwarzer Tag fuer den unabhaengigen oef-
fentlichen Raum und die Medien in der Slowakei, ein schwarzer Tag fuer die
slowakische Zivilgesellschaft. Es ist traurig, dass sich 35 Jahre nach dem
November 1989 herausstellt, dass Politiker und Oligarchen diesen Staat in
ihren Haenden halten und ueber die Zukunft der Slowakei entscheiden", so
RTVS-Chef Machaj.

SPAIN   RTVE Secures The Future of The Public Shortwave Service of
Radio Exterior De España.

The RTVE Board of Directors has unanimously approved the purchase, in-
stallation, and implementation of a new shortwave transmitter. This is
the first of five new transmitters that Radio Exterior de España (REE)
urgently needs to guarantee the continuity of this public service.

The new transmitters will replace the current equipment, which has far ex-
ceeded its useful life and whose frequent breakdowns put the continuity of
shortwave broadcasts at risk. They will be responsible for carrying the
shortwave signal to West Africa, the Middle East, North America, and South
America.

With this decision, RTVE fulfills its public service obligation set out in
the Framework Mandate and in Law 17/2006 of June 5, which establishes that
the Corporation must "aim to serve the widest audience, ensuring maximum
continuity and geographic and social coverage,with the commitment to offer
quality, diversity, innovation, and ethical standards."

This is a great advance that ensures the continuity of REE's public sce
to Spaniards who are outside our borders and to foreigners interested in
Spain. This commitment by the Corporation comes after years of uncertain-
ty. In 2014, the closure of REE's shortwave was implemented for a few
months. It was in 2018 that an eight-hour daily shortwave broadcast was
achieved again.

REE's shortwave carries the voice and vision of Spain to the entire world.
For this reason, the director of the station, Luis Manuel Fernandez
Iglesias, has advocated in his speech before the RTVE Board of Directors
to "involve the Ministries of Foreign Affairs and Culture of Spain in the
future of Radio Exterior, both in the design of its programming and in the
financing of this public international broadcaster, such as REE."

As seen in the invasion of Ukraine, shortwave escapes control and censor-
ship,guaranteeing the democratic right to truthful and honest information.
Another advantage is its free nature for listeners and the low cost and
investment needed for its reception anywhere. These circumstances make it
very attractive, especially for fishermen, merchant seamen, missionaries,
or Spanish volunteers who carry out their work where the internet signal
does not reach.

SWITZERLAND    FM and DAB News. Switzerland SSR-SRG FM switch-off.

Today, to listen to the news, music, the weather or traffic announcements
on the radio, people generally turn to DAB+ or IP (Internet) broadcasting
technology. Fewer and fewer FM receivers are still in use in Switzerland.

SSR will therefore be decommissioning its obsolete FM antennas by the end
of the year. Around ten years ago, the Federal Office of Communications
(OFCOM), private radio stations and the SRG began working closely together
to plan the transition from FM to DAB+.

The predictions made at the time - that DAB+ would become the new radio
standard - have been borne out: the proportion of people who listen to
radio exclusively via FM has now stagnated at less than 10%.

From 2020, the industry will no longer be obliged to broadcast radio pro-
grammes using this technology, and maintaining three // broadcasting tech-
nologies is costly. The SRG Board of Directors has therefore decided to
stop broadcasting SRG radio programmes via the now obsolete FM antennas on
31 December 2024.

U.K./ASCENSION ISL/UAE    Wie in den Vorjahren hat der BBC World Service
eine Mittwintersendung fuer die Ueberwinternden des 'British Antarctic
Survey' vorbereitet. Moderator ist auch in diesem Jahr Cerys Matthews.
Informationen ueber die BBC-Midwintersendungen findet man bei

<https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p02tp3b6>

Jahrzehntelang gab es nur die Sonderausstrahlung Richtung Antarktis, fuer
die moegliche Frequenzen eine Woche vorher getestet wurden. Seit juengerer
Zeit gibt es die Sondersendung auch in den regulaeren BBCStreams.

Folgende Frequenzen wurden 2022, 2023 bzw. 2024 eingesetzt:

21. Juni 2022, 21.30-22.00 UT: 7305 kHz (BBC/ENC Ascension),
    9505 12065 (ENC Woofferton)

21. Juni 2023, 21.30-22.00 UT: 7255 kHz (Abu Dhabi Media Al Dhabbaya),
    12005 13810 kHz (ENC Woofferton 300/250 kW)

Fuer 2024 erfragte der deutsche Kurzwellenexperte wb bei Steve Palmer
(Encompass Digital Media, <www.encompass.tv> )
folgende Frequenzen fuer die Testsendung (UTC, +2hrs=MESZ/CEST):

14. Juni 2024, 21.30-21.45 UT: 7255 kHz ((Abu Dhabi Media Al Dhabbaya),
    9585 11685 kHz (ENC Woofferton 300/250 kW),
    9870 kHz       (BBC/ENC Ascension).

wb konnte am 14. Juni 2024 alle Frequenzen in Europa hoerbestaetigen. Die
Sendeanlage von Abu Dhabi Media hatte das staerkste Signal, aber auch mit
Gleichkanalinterferenz von Xizang RTV zu tun.

Ebenfalls gut schlug sich 9585 kHz von der Encompass-Station im englischen
Woofferton-UK. Wie ueblich wurde fuer die eigentliche Sendung dann eine
Frequenz weggelassen:

21. Juni 2024, 21.30-22.00 UT: 9585 11685 kHz (ENC Woofferton 300/250 kW),
9870 kHz (BBC/ENC Ascension).

In diesem Jahr sind es 47 "winterers" auf drei Basen. Vor Ort hat die Be-
gehung der laengsten Nacht des Jahres eine Bedeutung wie Weihnachten.
