Saudi-backed group explores launch of English news channel to rival Al Jazeera

 

Gulf Kingdom aims to expand its media influence around the world

A Saudi Arabia state-backed media group is looking at launching an international English-language news channel that could rival Al Jazeera as the kingdom aims to expand its global media influence.

The Saudi Research and Media Group had contacted media consultancies to study the feasibility and scope of the venture, several people familiar with the project said.

The preparations are at an early stage, but those people said it would be the second big English-language broadcaster in the Arab world, behind Al Jazeera English.

Shortwave Radiogram program preview

 

Hello friends

I am sending this preview of program 304 (11-16 May 2023) a few days early to give you time to download, install, and practice decoding the EasyDRF we will be using.

EasyDRF is a version of HamDRM that can be decoded using software developed by Daz Man in Australia. 

 

Program 304 is a repeat of Shortwave Radiogram 300 but in EasyDRF. Details of Program 300 are here.

 

The EasyDRF software works in Windows and under Wine in Linux. See Daz's downloading and operating instructions below.

 

The sound is different from MFSK. Easy DRF is more of a constant buzz. Shortly after the buzz starts, the file SWRG-300-00.html will appear in the Rx Files subfolder. Open that HTML file and watch the images populate it, one by one, during the half-hour – reception permitting!

 

If you want to practice decoding EasyDRF before actual radio reception, the audio file is available here:

https://storage.googleapis.com/dazman/misc/2023-05-06-EasyDRF_Radiogram-v06-ODC-EQ12.wav

Important: If you decode from the downloaded audio file, delete or move the files from the Rx Files subfolder before decoding from actual radio reception.

Questions about EasyDRF can be addressed to Daz via Twitter: @DazDude4000, or email: dazdude@hotmail.com

 

Here are Daz’s instructions to install and use EasyDRF:

 

This EasyDRF version of Shortwave Radiogram program 300 can only be decoded with the EasyDRF Windows application program.

SOFTWARE

Website: http://homepages.ihug.com.au/~daz2002/tech/EasyDRF/http://homepages.ihug.com.au/~daz2002/tech/EasyDRF/

 

Installation: Download the executable file from the GitHub release directory. Create a new folder on the PC hard drive named "EasyDRF", and move the downloaded "EasyDRF.exe" file to it. That's all. (Do not create the installation folder in "Downloads", as this can cause security issues.)

 

AUDIO

Feed the audio into your PC the same way as for normal Radiogram broadcasts.

Options are VB-Cable (SDRs), line input or microphone (analog radios).

 

NOTE: If using SDR# (SDRSharp), disable "antifading" as it can severely degrade data signals.

 

After installation into its own folder, start EasyDRF by double-clicking on the EasyDRF.exe file and selecting the correct input device in the Soundcard -> RX Input menu setting.

 

Check the audio level using the Display -> Input Level menu setting. Adjust the receiver audio level to be near mid-scale on the Input Level graph. If the graph turns red, the level is too high.

 

Set the Waterfall display under Display -> Waterfall menu setting. Signals and noise from the receiver should appear on the waterfall display.

 

It's a good idea to make a recording of the broadcast in case of decoding problems.

 

AM-Sync demodulation is recommended, to reduce carrier fade distortion that can severely degrade data decoding.

 

DISPLAY

This Shortwave Radiogram program consists of a series of files, sent using EasyDRF. The entire program is intended for web browser display, for easy viewing. The HTML file is sent first. When the HTML file saves, open a new web browser window. Click the "RxFiles" button on EasyDRF to open the file save folder, then drag and drop the "SWRG-300-00.html" file into the web browser to display it. (You can also right-click on the "SWRG-300-00.html" file, then “Open with” browser of choice.)

 

The HTML page will open, and it will display stats on the received files in the top right corner. The page can be browsed while the files are still decoding.

 

Please include the stats in your reports (a screenshot), as the image quality does not change with radio conditions.

 

The images will automatically load into the page as they progressively decode and save. Automatic image loading stops after image 12 is loaded, or after 30 minutes. Images are enhanced for display using a custom SVG filter.

 

In most cases, only 51% of good data is needed for each file, due to RS4 error correction. If any files fail to decode, some images will be missing from the page.

 

Thanks for decoding the Shortwave Radiogram program 300 EasyDRF special broadcast!

 Please send reception reports, as usual, to radiogram@verizon.net. Or report them to Twitter @SWRadiogram

The silence of Radio Canada International

 

For a country that once regarded itself as one of the world’s leading middle powers, Canada’s voice on the international scene is a strikingly quiet one these days. It reminds me of the line from that famous “dead parrot” sketch in Monty Python: “bereft of life, it rests in peace.”

The latest sign of this is the decision by CBC/Radio-Canada to implement changes that have effectively smothered Radio Canada International (RCI), its fabled global audio and online service that has helped serve as “Canada’s Voice to the World” for more than a half century.

In a December announcement replete with CBC doublespeak, the CBC unveiled a “major transformation” of RCI that, it claimed, would ensure RCI remains “a strong and relevant voice” in this century’s media landscape. Not surprisingly, the practical impact of these changes is precisely the opposite.

Flipping RCI’s historic mission on its head, the service will now focus more on ethnic minorities within Canada rather than on continuing to produce programs tailored uniquely for international audiences. More than half of RCI’s beleaguered staff have been laid off.

W9IMS Accelerates into Another Special Event Season – with a Chance for an Indy Racing Certificate

 

By Brian D. Smith

It’s back to the track for collectors of W9IMS cards and certificates.

The first of this year’s three special events tied to the major races at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway  began at midnight Eastern Time (0400 UTC) on May 7, and (if you missed it) will continue through 11:59 p.m. (0359 UTC) on Saturday, May 13.

And for hams and SWLs, your chance for a 2023 Checkered Flag Award begins – and could end – with it. To earn the certificate, you’ll need to contact or tune in W9IMS during all three special events this year: the Grand Prix, the Indianapolis 500 (May 22-28) and the NASCAR 200 at the Brickyard (August 7-13).

Catch W9IMS during Grand Prix week and you’re one-third of the way to Victory Lane. Miss it and you’ll have to wait till 2024 for another shot at the certificate.

So when and where do you find W9IMS? Any time of the day or night is possible, but prime time is from 6 to 10 p.m. (2200-0200 UTC) weekdays, and the prime bands are 40 and 20 meters (generally around 7.245 and 14.245 MHz). And this year, improved solar conditions could prompt a rare move to 15 and 10 meters, likely around 21.350 or 28.340 MHz.

The choice of frequencies will be gametime decisions based on a variety of factors, including QRM, band openings and the number of calling stations. So your surest move is to check W9IMS spots, which are frequently posted on DX Summit (www.dxsummit.fi).

Also, while some on-air times are unscheduled, you can also increase your odds by going to the W9IMS QRZ page (www.w9ims.com) and clicking the Grand Prix link under the heading “2023 Operating Schedule” – which displays the shifts that operators have already signed up for.

If time is running short, listen for happy hour – the last blast on Race Day (May 13 for the Grand Prix), usually starting at 11 p.m. Indy time (0300 UTC). That’s when W9IMS ops traditionally switch to contest-style QSOs and exchange only signal reports so they can work as many stations as possible. But remember that W9IMS special events can end early if the station encounters sparse QSOs or adverse solar or weather conditions.

Should you manage to bag W9IMS, don’t celebrate for too long: The Indianapolis 500 special event begins on May 22, only 9 days after the end of Grand Prix week. Then comes the longer wait till the NASCAR race in August.

You’ll qualify for a new and unique QSL card for each W9IMS event you log, regardless of whether you snare all three in ’23. But why not complete the set and nab the certificate – starting with the first race this coming week?

Hams and SWLs alike are eligible for any and all W9IMS cards and certificates; you can even QSL via the bureau. And if you forgot to send in your information from a previous year, it’s still possible to obtain nearly all of the previous cards and certificates. Consult the W9IMS QRZ page for full details.

Highlights of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity 01 - 07 May 2023

Solar activity reached high levels on 01 and 03 May, moderate levels on 04, 05, and 07 May, and low levels on 02 and 06 May. A total of eleven M-flares were observed during this period, of which were two R2 (Moderate) events and nine R1 (Minor) events. The largest events were an M7 flare at 01/1309 UTC from Region 3288 (S23, L=267, class/area=Ehc/420 on 30 Apr) and an M7 flare at 03/1045 UTC from Region 3293 (N13, L=149, class/area=Dhc/290 on 03 May). The region 3296 (N16, L=135, class/area=Dki/300 on 04 May) produced four R1 events over 04, 05, and 07 May. Earth-directed CMEs were detected following an M3 flare at 04/0844 UTC from Region 3296, a C9 flare at 05/0706 UTC from Region 3297 (N08, L=119, class/area=Eki/500 on 04 May), and an M2 flare at 05/0801 UTC from Region 3296. 

No proton events were observed in geosynchronous orbit.

The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit reached high levels on 01-06 May and moderate levels on 07 May. 

Geomagnetic field activity reached G1-G2 (Minor-Moderate) storm levels on 06 May due to CME passage and positive polarity CH HSS influences. Active conditions were observed on 01 May due to negative polarity CH HSS influences and again on 07 May due to positive polarity CH HSS influence and CME (from 04 May) passage. Quiet and quiet to unsettled levels were observed throughout the remainder of the week. 

Forecast of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity 08 May - 03 June 2023

Solar activity is expected to be low to moderate throughout the period with M-class flare activity (R1-R2 (Minor-Moderate) likely over 08 May-03 Jun. 

No proton events are expected at geosynchronous orbit.

The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit is expected to reach high levels on 11-20 May and 23 May-02 Jun. Normal to moderate levels are likely on 08-10, 21-22 May, and 03 Jun. 

Geomagnetic field activity is likely to reach G1-G3 (Minor-Strong) storm levels on 08 May, and G1 (Minor) levels on 09 May, in response to CME (from 04 May) passage and positive polarity CH HSS influences. G1 (Minor) storms are likely again on 24 May, with active levels likely on 23 and 25-26 May, due to negative polarity CH HSS influences. Quiet and quiet to unsettled levels are expected to prevail throughout the remainder of the period.

All India Radio changes name to Akashvani

 

Ministry Of Information And Broadcasting Announces Change From All India Radio To Akashvani

This change has led to mixed reactions, with some debating its necessity and impact on other broadcasting services. 

The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting (I&B) has announced that All India Radio (AIR) will now be known as Akashvani, as per a provision of the Prasar Bharati (Broadcasting Corporation of India) Act, 1990.

In a satellite message, the policy division of the office of the Director General, Akashvani, informed all centres across the country about the change. The next radio bulletin in English on the government-run service will begin with the announcement, “This is Akashvani,” instead of the current announcement, “This is All India Radio.”

The new announcement format will also be used in other tongues or dialects. The word “Akashvani” was first used by Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore in 1939 as a poetic translation of All India Radio. 

According to The Wire, the new decision has led to mixed reactions, with former I&B minister Manish Tiwari calling it a “silly, inane branding exercise which is completely redundant.”

As per the Prasar Bharati Act, the term "Akashvani" denotes the establishments, offices, and stations that were formerly under the control of the Director General of All India Radio belonging to the Union Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, as of the appointed day.

After 26 years, the ministry has finally decided to put this clause into effect. However, the Act is not clear on what happens to offices set up post-November 15, 1997, which is the appointed day. The popular radio station Vividh Bharati, which has an English name for all official communications and is classified as a "commercial broadcasting service" 

in the Union budget, has been the subject of speculation as to what may happen to it as a result. TMC MP and former I&B secretary Jawahar Sircar has asked for the budget head for Vividh Bharati to be changed first if the aim is to do away with colonial legacies.

The change to Akashvani has sparked a debate on the necessity of the rebranding exercise. Some have argued that AIR has a brand value and that changing the name is unnecessary. However, others feel that Akashvani is more reflective of India’s cultural heritage and that the change is a step in the right direction. Regardless, the change is now in effect, and the next time you tune in to AIR, you will hear the announcement, “This is Akashvani.”
