TWR Extends Outreach to Asia

Guam Transmitter Upgrade Features Live On-Air Dedication on Nov. 18

CARY, NC, November 10, 2011-Striving to extend its strategic outreach in Asia, international Christian media organization TWR has upgraded its powerful shortwave transmission station on the island of Guam. The advancement gives TWR the ability to cover much of the spiritually needy region, including China and southeast Asia, with a robust, quality signal. To celebrate this significant initiative, TWR President Lauren Libby and other ministry staff members will present an on-air dedication during a live
broadcast Friday, November 18 from 8:30-9:00 a.m. Eastern Standard Time. The 30-minute broadcast will begin at 1330 UTC on a shortwave frequency of 15.4 megahertz in the 19 meter band.

"This upgrade gives TWR the opportunity to touch even more lives with the good news of Jesus Christ," says TWR President Lauren Libby. "We thank God for the privilege of increasing our spiritual footprint in Asia."

Two 250,000-watt, digital-capable Thomson transmitters have been installed to provide increased coverage to the Asia region. These revitalized transmitters join three existing 100,000-watt units. Digital shortwave capability will enable TWR to reach both rural areas and large cities with a strong, FM-like quality signal. TWR is now well-positioned to reach listeners across Asia into the future, and reception is excellent anywhere - from cities to dense forests.

Special guests for the dedication broadcast include Dr. Alan Cureton, president of Northwestern College in St. Paul, Minn.; Collin Lambert, vice president of Moody Radio in Chicago, Ill.; and Mike Tirone, general manager and senior vice president of KCBI-FM in Dallas, Texas. These three organizations, plus thousands of individuals around the globe, helped with the purchase and installation of the transmitters.

"As Moody Radio continues to expand its global focus, TWR is one of the leading organizations that we are pleased to partner with," says Lambert. "Our joint efforts tied to the [upgraded] transmitter in Guam have not only broadened our participation in spreading the gospel throughout the world, but also allowed us to inform and mobilize our listeners in the process. In addition to a live stream over www.twr.org, the dedication broadcast will be carried on KTIS-AM, Moody Radio and KCBI and its sister stations.

E-waste often ends up in open dumps in Africa where people risk their lives trying to extract usable parts. In countries like Nigeria and Ghana, reusing e-waste is an important source of income. What should Africa do?

BBG releases plans to enhance international broadcasting

Washington, D.C., November 1, 2011 - The Broadcasting Board of Governors has released the framework of its new strategic plan to enhance the global impact of U.S. international broadcasting through innovation and integration.

“This plan frames the future direction for U.S. international broadcasting,” said BBG Chairman Walter Isaacson. “To retain and increase our audiences and impact, we have to be smart and capitalize on the opportunities of digital integration and audience engagement.”

Entitled, “Impact through Innovation and Integration,” the plan outlines a strategy for growth within an environment of scarce budget resources and profound, ongoing changes in audience media consumption habits. The goal is to be the world’s leading international news agency, working to foster free, open, democratic societies with an audience growth target of 50 million by 2016.

The 5-year strategy calls for a restructuring of federal and grantee elements of the BBG to leverage the talents and expertise of its broadcasters and journalists, increasing efficiencies across the broadcast enterprise, and ensuring that the original reporting and breaking news stories of each of the Agency’s broadcasters are shared with audiences around the globe.

The plan highlights the desire to integrate elements of U.S. international broadcasting into a single organization while preserving the BBG’s established, trusted brands.

A merger of the staff of the BBG and the International Broadcasting Bureau is already in progress as one of the immediate steps mandated by the Board to rationalize management and support functions.

The Agency will now study phased implementation plans to break down the organizational silos present in the BBG’s complex amalgam of broadcast entities, some Federal and some non-Federal, with different legal and administrative frameworks.

The BBG brands – Voice of America, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, Alhurra TV and Radio Sawa, Radio Free Asia, and Radio and TV Martí - face intense competition from an ever-expanding universe of emerging media choices as well as the challenges of censorship and extremist voices.

To address these challenges and advance the nation’s strategic priorities, BBG’s plan features innovative initiatives: to create a global news network; to leverage new delivery technologies such as satellite video for China, Central Asia, and Southeast Asia; and to devise sophisticated new means of countering Internet blocking and other forms of censorship.

The plan is the result of a wide-ranging strategy review conducted from September 2010 to June 2011 at the direction of the BBG Board. The review assessed all agency media efforts worldwide in 15 regionally focused sessions. Some 75 independent journalists, media experts and practitioners, diplomats, and area specialists engaged pro bono with more than 200 agency employees at all levels to analyze the unique value-added and impact of BBG broadcasters in light of evolving media and political environments.

A copy of the Strategic Plan is available here. A companion BBG strategy website is hosting an ongoing discussion of the plan and the future of U.S. international broadcasting.

The Broadcasting Board of Governors is an independent federal agency, supervising all U.S. government-supported, civilian international broadcasting, whose mission is inform, engage and connect people around the world in support of freedom and democracy. BBG broadcasts reach an audience of 165 million in 100 countries. BBG networks include the Voice of America, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, the Middle East Broadcasting Networks (Alhurra TV and Radio Sawa), Radio Free Asia, and the Office of Cuba Broadcasting (Radio and TV Martí).

Radio Free Asia releases new QSL card for November

Radio Free Asia Issues Sixth 15th Anniversary QSL Card - November 2011

Radio Free Asia (RFA) announces the release of our 41st QSL card. This is the sixth QSL card commemorating 2011 as RFA’s 15th anniversary. The recipient of the 1991 Nobel Peace Prize, Aung San Suu Kyi, was elected to lead Burma in 1990 but at that time was already under house arrest. From 1989-2010, she spent the better part of 15-years under house arrest and is renowned for promoting the Burmese non-violent struggle for democracy and human rights. RFA’s first broadcast was in Mandarin Chinese on September 29, 1996 at 2100 UTC. Acting as a substitute for indigenous free media, RFA concentrates its coverage on events occurring in and/or affecting the countries to which we broadcast. This QSL card will be used to confirm all valid reception reports for November 2011. A similar design will be issued next month as the last QSL of our anniversary series. Learn more at www.rfa15.org .

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 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 www.techweb.rfa.org (follow the QSL REPORTS link) not only from DX’ers, but also from its general listening audience. If you have a smart phone, feel free to use the QR code below to access the automated reception report system and submit your reception reports to the web site.

You also have the option of using the following Microsoft Tag from your smartphone. The free mobile app for your smartphone is available at http://gettag.mobi .

Reception reports are also accepted by email at qsl@rfa.org, and for anyone without Internet access, reception reports can be mailed to:

Reception Reports
Radio Free Asia
2025 M. Street NW, Suite 300
Washington DC 20036
United States of America.

Upon request, RFA will also send a copy of the current broadcast schedule and a station
sticker.

Polish Radio downsizes shortwave service

Polish Radio External Service, according to their website (www.thenews.pl ) the only shortwave transmission for B11 Winter, is on 3955 kHz from 1800-1900 UTC via Sitkunai, Lithuania. This is sad as I was a semi-regular listener to their programs having grown to like them when the CBC's Overnight Service used to carry them at 4:30 AM (local).

Harold Camping retires as head of Family Radio

For nearly 53 years Harold Camping has been a prominent figure in Christian broadcasting. On Monday The Christian Post was exclusively told that the 90-year-old was no longer able to lead his Family Radio ministry, and would be retiring.

During the last several years the Family Radio network has suffered operating losses and two of their stations, WKDN in Philadelphia and WFSI in Annapolis, Maryland covering the Washington, DC area, are being sold, tentatively to CBS. On Monday, Family Radio began soliciting donations to offset those losses, even though the broadcasting outlets currently owned by the company are potentially worth hundreds of millions

Musharraf to VOA: Karzai Statement "Preposterous"

Washington, D.C. — October 24, 2011 —

Former Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf has told a popular Voice of America TV program he just can’t understand what was behind a controversial statement made by Afghan President Hamid Karzai on Saturday.

Mr. Musharraf, who appeared on Monday’s edition of The Platform, a co-production of VOA and the Pakistani cable network, Express 24/7, was questioned about President Karzai’s recent statement that “Afghanistan will side with Pakistan," if ever there is a war between Pakistan and the United States.

Mr. Musharraf described the statement as “preposterous,” saying, “I just don’t understand...I think this must be crazy, I don’t agree with this statement at all.”

Mr. Musharraf, who appeared on the program with former U.S. Senator Bob Graham, took a series of questions from a live studio audience in the Pakistani city of Lahore.

Asked what it would take to bring peace to Afghanistan, Mr. Musharraf called for a more inclusive government in Kabul, one that includes more ethnic Pashtuns in key leadership positions. “I’m afraid we have to have a balanced Pashtun-dominated government in Afghanistan, whatever it takes, because Pashtuns have always ruled Afghanistan, we cannot ignore their presence.”

Senator Graham and President Musharraf also discussed the U.S. Pakistan relationship, and both said the two countries had many common interests. Mr. Graham said the two would have to work at improving “day-to-day” relations.

Mr. Musharraf said ties between Washington and Islamabad were perhaps at their “lowest ebb,” and both he and Senator Graham said the U.S. use of drones to strike at terrorist targets had added to the strains.

The joint VOA / Express 24/7 program, which is broadcast on cable in Pakistan Monday and Tuesday evenings, offers viewers a chance to submit their own questions to U.S. and Pakistani newsmakers, who also take questions from program hosts as well as the studio audience in Lahore.

For highlights and links to the show, visit The Platform’s Facebook page or visit the VOA Urdu language webpage at www.voanews.com. For more information about this release, email Kyle King in Washington at kking@voanew.com .

The Voice of America is a multimedia international broadcasting service funded by the U.S. Government through the Broadcasting Board of Governors. VOA broadcasts approximately 1,500 hours of news, information, educational, and cultural programming every week to an estimated worldwide audience of about 123 million people.

Monitoring Libya on shortwave

Libya
11600 kHz. Radio Télévision Libye, Tripolis Libye today Oct 24. Transmitter at Sabrata on air very late at 16.06.15 UTC. More than fair signal noted in Genua Italy and Finland Europe, S=9+15dBm. Program on same muffeled audio quality like yesterday, today measured and noted bandwidth like - three different audio levels, best is 1000 Hertz tone from the
transmitter site, followed by "Russian Waltz" music wide of 4.4 kHz, and annoying spoken part quality of small 3.11 kHz.

Suffered by 11600 kHz co-channel CRI from Baoji-CHN in Swahili to Africa from 1700-1757 UT.

And also hit by some "fade out" heavy splash from 11590 kHz Radio Pakistan Islamabad which appeared from 1721 UT onwards. SDR radio notch cut function of 11585 to 11599 kHz portion upgraded to worth listening.

Identification in French and Russian Waltz music started at 16.07:23 UT. For audio quality comparision I recorded some piece of VoRussia Grigoriopol in French on 11635 kHz at 16.54 UT in between.

At 16.55 UT a African vernac folk song played from Sahel zone.

At 17.11:20 UT modern West African like rumba music played, with singer in French language.

Anncmt ID in French logged at 1729 and 1747 UT. Much talk on Libye Revolution, as well as Revolution Francaise at Paris Bastille.

Russian waltz music played til late 18.03:45 UTC.
TX OFF today Oct 24 at 18.04:14 UTC.

Dear DX-friends,
I listened to Libya this afternoon( Oct 24) at 1610-1735 UTC on 11600.00 kHz which had a broadcast in French with SINPO 35433 - 45443 and S up to 9+30 dB, but a very muffled voice audio. Their audio of music was perfect: Vienna waltzes and light instrumental music which was often played! They had frequent, new ID's: " Radio Libye, Tripoli" and "Ici Radio Télévision Libye, Tripoli". This obviously has replaced the former Gaddafi names "Libyan Jamahariyah Broadcasting Corporation" and the external service "Voice of Africa". Mostly talks on the same time schedule as former Voice of Africa in French about the revolution and future democracy in Libya, about the obduction of the corpse of Muammar Gaddafi, the declaration of military victory of Libya in Benghazi and the democratic election yesterday in Tunisia and about developments in Syria. All was very different content to what was heard on the Voice of Africa! Slight interference from *1700 from China Radio International, Baoji in Swahili, then SINPO 54443.

Best 73,
