Trans World Radio Africa, 50th Anniversary


Trans World Radio Africa celebrates its 50th anniversary in Eswatini (Swaziland). It was indeed on the 1st of November 1974 that TWR started broadcasting from this former British protectorate it became independent under the name of Swaziland, the country was renamed Kingdom of Eswatini. This is the smallest state in Africa after Gambia.

 Already in the 60s, TWR wanted to get closer to its listeners instead of focusing all its means of broadcasting on its partnership with Radio-Monte-Carlo, of which it is a tenant in Monaco on the Fontbonne plateau.

 Different transmitter centers had been installed in the 4 corners of the world: Apart from Monaco for Europe, they were present on the island of Bonaire in the Antilles for America and on the island of Guam for Asia and Oceania.

 Missing Africa, Trans World Radio wanted to set up in South Africa. Efforts to get a license were in vain.

In 1973 TWR obtained its license to broadcast on short and medium waves from Swaziland.

On the 1st November 1974, the evangelical radio mission began broadcasting with 2 25 kW shortwave transmitters from Mpangala Ranch, 40 kilometres from Manzini. The following year a third OC transmitter was installed, as well as a 317-C mediumwave transmitter from Continental Electronics that ran at 1170 KHz.

 The exact origin of this transmitter is unknown but rumors have rang that it was a former transmitter of a pirate radio. Must be transmitter No. 12 of the former BBC relay in Botswana: it was originally commissioned by O'Rahilly the operator of "Radio Caroline" and handed over to the BBC during the Rhodesia crisis.

 In addition to local productions in 8 languages, programs in German from the Gospel Radio (ERF) studios in Wetzlar were also broadcast. Subsequently, the programmes were taken from the studios of TWR Africa Regional Office in Johannesburg.

 Shortwave transmitters were replaced in the late 90s by three 100 kilowatt transmitters and one 50 kilowatt connected to five antenna networks. Continental Electronics' 50KW Type 317-C Medium Wave Transradio Transradio 100KW TRAM 100 Transradio Transradio Transmitter in 2016. This transmitter would have been bought second hand at the tenth of its price at Media Broadcast, it had previously broadcasted Deutschlandfunk programs. TWR has also developed an FM network that covers the country.

 After relocating studios to Johannesburg, TWR did not wish to expand its Swaziland broadcasting centre, preferring to rent hourly beaches in Meyerton, South Africa.

Since Meyerton's arrest, all the programs for Africa start from Swaziland.

100 Years of Christian Religious Broadcasting

 Thank you Ray Robinson and Jeff White for sharing this week's Wavescan program script.

Jeff: Recently, a program on BBC television celebrated the 100th anniversary of Christian religious broadcasting in the UK. Of course back then, they were talking about radio broadcasting, so today Ray Robinson in Los Angeles takes a look back at those early days of putting Christianity, and God, on the air.

Ray: Thanks, Jeff. Just off Trafalgar Square in Central London is an iconic landmark – the church of St. Martin-in-the-Fields. 100 years ago, that was the scene of a ground-breaking event in the British Isles, because it was from that church that the BBC broadcast their very first service of live worship. But back in 1924, some people were outraged by the idea of broadcasting worship on the radio. There was a vicar in North London who said people might listen in pubs, or even listen while wearing hats – can you imagine!?! They thought that somehow broadcasting services would be sullying the ‘beauty of holiness’ with the ordinaryness of people’s lives.

Because of this suspicion of the new technology, both St. Paul’s Cathedral and Westminster Abbey turned down the BBC’s invitation to host the first broadcast service. But, St. Martin-in-the-Fields grasped the opportunity, and so the very first service of worship was broadcast by the British Broadcasting Company, as it was back in 1924, from that church led by the then vicar, the Rev. Dick Shepherd. And thanks to religious broadcasting, he went on to become one of the most popular voices on the airwaves in the UK in the years leading up to and during the Second World War. Here’s the voice of Rev. Shepherd during that first broadcast:

Bringing the Word of God into people’s homes was, for Dick Shepherd, deeply connected with the message of Christianity – that we don’t need to go on a long journey to find God, but that through Jesus, God reached out to us. As well as the outrage that the first broadcast service provoked, the service touched the hearts of many ordinary Christians who wrote into the BBC – “it was spellbinding”, “it was remarkable”, “it was moving”, “they had never experienced anything like it”, etc., which of course they hadn’t, at least not on the BBC. And so

Dick Shepherd had inspired people around the country from that very first broadcast. However, while that may have been the first service of live worship broadcast on BBC radio, it certainly wasn’t the first Christian religious broadcast in the UK. At 9PM on Christmas Eve 1922, two years earlier, the Rev. John Mayo of Whitechapel, East London had broadcast a message over the BBC’s ‘2LO’ station from their studio in London. This was the first religious programme on the BBC. In 1932 to celebrate the 10 th anniversary of that broadcast, 

He said, “Surely no man has ever proclaimed the Gospel from such an extraordinary pulpit as I am now occupying.” Well at least one man had, five months even earlier, during the pre-BBC era of broadcasting in Britain. Dr. James Ebenezer Boon, a 55- year-old medical doctor, preacher and radio ham, was the pastor of what is now known as Christ Church Evangelical Fellowship, in McDermott Road, Pekham, South London. He had been inspired by Marconi’s big radio demonstration, called ‘The Miracle of Broadcasting’, at Peckham Town Hall in June 1922. The demonstration was run by Arthur Burrows, The Marconi Company’s Publicity Director, who a few months later on November 14 th was to become the first voice heard on the BBC with a 6pm radio newscast. Dr. Boon reasoned, if Marconi could send music from central London to the Town Hall in Peckham, why couldn’t he do the same from his church?

He applied for a broadcast licence, but was turned down on the grounds that the airwaves were getting full and every church would want one! Dr. Boon conceded this was a valid standpoint, but not to be put off, he contacted Burndept Wireless Ltd., a wireless manufacturer which had an ‘Aerial Works’ site five miles away in Blackheath, and which did have an experimental broadcast licence. Together, a plan was hatched. He’d originally wanted to broadcast from his church, but since permission for that been denied, he decided he’d broadcast an entire Sunday service remotely: congregation present, but minister absent. Now, you may remember during the COVID lockdown months that often a minister would be the only one in church, livestreaming via Youtube into people’s homes. Well, this was the exact
opposite.
On a table in front of the pulpit rails in Christ Church Evangelical, he placed a three- valve receiving and amplifying set with a gramophone horn as a speaker. To this he ran a feed line from an aerial on the roof which was supported by two clothes props.


On Sunday 30th July 1922, the congregation arrived – but he didn’t. The service consisted of the disembodied voice of Dr. Boon coming from five miles away in Blackheath, where he preached a 20-minute sermon based on the Bible verse John 3:16. He also played hymns from gramophone records including ‘O God Our Help in Ages Past’ and ‘The Church’s One Foundation’. Most people present had never heard radio before, or had even heard of radio. The next day, the London Times reported that the 400 seat church was filled to overflowing, and that the words of Dr. Boon’s sermon were heard with remarkable clarity throughout the building.

Unfortunately none of the documentation I have seen records the wavelength or anything about the transmitter that was used, but it was likely between 325 and 500 metres medium wave, and it clearly was very effective. Boon had addressed ‘listeners in the north, south, east and west of England’, because listeners weren’t confined to the church building. Letters of appreciation came from all points of the compass, mostly around London, but it became apparent that the broadcast had been received over a radius of some 100 miles. Congratulatory postcards came in from radio amateurs in Watford, Hertfordshire (north of London – “Last night I happened, quite by chance, to be tuning in on my one-valve wireless set, when I was amazed to hear the strains of ‘O God Our Help in Ages Past’, and later I received your address with remarkable clarity.) from Coventry, even further north (“Your sermon reached hear quite clearly”), Eltham in south east London (“It enabled me to concentrate much better than in a building”), from Godalming, south west of London
(“I shall be glad to know if there will be another broadcast sermon next Sunday?”), and Frinton, some 60 miles to the east, way out on the Essex coast. The listeners in Frinton even sent a telegram to Dr. Boon which he received just before the end of the service, saying: “Message received perfectly by great crowd on the sea front. Will take up a collection if it is desired!” For the first time Boon had put the ‘mission’ into ‘transmission’, wirelessly sending his Gospel message into people’s homes.


But, Boon never did broadcast again. Rev. John Mayo’s broadcast at Christmas a few months later was the next religious broadcast heard on British airwaves, and indeed, there has been some sort of religious programme on BBC radio every Sunday since 24 December 1922.
But of course, there were even earlier religious broadcasts outside the UK. The WORLD's first religious broadcast took place in January 1921 in Pittsburgh, where Calvary Episcopal Church was wired up and broadcast on KDKA, the world's first proper radio station. They even went so far as to dress the broadcast engineers as choristers, so as not to distract the congregation!

Way before that, Christmas Eve 1906 saw a religious broadcast too, when Reginald Fessenden read from Luke's gospel and played O Holy Night on the violin - just for ships off the Massachusetts coast. And back in the 1890’s, twelve London churches sent their Sunday services via phone-lines to the homes of people who had subscribed to the Electrophone service – which was also a form of broadcasting... although not by wireless/radio.

Highlights of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity 28 October - 03 November 2024


Solar activity ranged from low to high levels with R1 (Minor) radio blackouts observed on 28 Oct - 03 Nov, R2 (Moderate) radio blackouts observed on 30 Oct and R3 (Strong) radio blackouts observed on 31 Oct. Regions 3869 (S17, L=195, class/area Eki/460 on 24 Oct), 3876 (S05, L=207, class/area Ekc/340 on 30 Oct) and 3878 (N16, L=138, class/area Eki/400 on 31 Oct) produced a majority of the activity this period. Region 3878 produced an R2 (Moderate) M7.2 flare at 30 Oct/2054 UTC and produced the largest flare of the period, an R3 (Strong) X2.0/3b flare at 31 Oct/2120 UTC with an associated 910 sfu Tenflare. During the period, a total of 41 C-class, 20 M-class and 1 X-class flares were observed. 

The greater than 10 MeV proton flux began the period at S1-S2 (Minor-Moderate) flux levels due to X-class activity on 24 and 26 Oct. The proton event began at 26 Oct/1919 UTC, reached a maximum at 28 Oct/1350 UTC with a peak of 364 pfu and ended at 01 Nov/0735 UTC. 

The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit was at normal to moderate levels through the highlight period. 

Geomagnetic field activity ranged from quiet to active levels, with one (R1-Minor) minor storm period observed early on 28 Oct. Quiet to minor storm levels were observed on 28 Oct with quiet to active levels observed on 29-30 Oct. This activity was due to weak CME influence from significant flare activity observed on 24 and 26 Oct. Quiet to isolated active periods were observed on 31 Oct to 03 Nov. On 28 Oct, a Sudden Impulse was observed early on 28 Oct, due to CME arrival from 26 Oct activity. Total field increased to 24 nT and the Bz component dropped to -19 nT. Wind speeds increased to 616 km/s. By 29 Oct, solar wind paraameters gradually declined to more nominal levels and remained mostly nominal for the remainder of the highlight period. 

Forecast of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity 04 November - 30 November 2024

Solar activity is expected to be at moderate levels (R1/R2-Minor/Moderate), with a chance for high levels (R3-Strong) from 04-30 Nov. The disk is expected to feature numerous complex regions throughout the outlook period. 

No proton events are expected at geosynchronous orbit. However, there is a chance for proton activity following significant solar flare activity during the outlook period. 

The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit is expected to be at normal to moderate levels. 

Geomagnetic field activity is expected to be at unsettled to active periods on 04-05 Nov due to weak CME influence, coupled with positive polarity CH HSS activity. Unsettled to active levels are likely on 11-13 Nov, 15-16 Nov, 18 Nov, 20 Nov, 15-27 Nov and 30 Nov, all due to influence from recurrent CH HSSs. The remainder of the outlook period is expected to be at mostly quiet levels.

Shortwave Radiogram, Program 376

 


Hello friends,


Thank you for allowing me the repeat broadcast of program 375 last week. It gave me time for some appointments and to finish some writing projects.

WRMI is still repairing some antenna facilities damaged by Hurricane Milton. Because of this, the Shortwave Radiogram transmission Saturday at 2300-2330 UTC is now on 7780 kHz -- replacing 7570 kHz for the time being. The schedule below reflects this change.  

Also, most of North America shifts back from Daylight Time to Standard Time on November 3. The only WRMI frequency used by Shortwave Radiogram that stays with Eastern Time is 9955 kHz. So, as of this Sunday, Shortwave Radiogram on 9955 kHz is at 1530-1600 UTC, shifting from 1430-1500 UTC. (It's still 10:30-11 am Eastern Time.) This is also included in the schedule below.

WINB's schedule on 9265 kHz also stays with Eastern Time, so those UTC times for Shortwave Radiogram will shift next week.

A video of the previous Shortwave Radiogram (program 375) is provided by Scott in Ontario (Wednesday 1330 UTC). The audio archive is maintained by Mark in the UK. Analysis is provided by Roger in Germany.

Here is the lineup for Shortwave Radiogram, program 376, November 2024, in MFSK modes as noted:

 1:43  MFSK32: Program preview
 2:51  MFSK32: Daylight saving time linked to lost productivity
 8:01  MFSK64: Ultra-thin film absorbs electromagnetic waves*
12:37  MFSK64: This week's images*
28:27  MFSK32: Closing announcements

The ‘V’ Callsigns of Newfoundland

 
Thank you to Ray Robinson and Jeff White for sharing the latest edition of Wavescan for our followers.

Jeff:  Most radio stations throughout Canada are allocated callsigns beginning with the letter ‘C’ – CB specifically for stations of the national broadcaster, the CBC, and CF, CH, CI, CJ and CK for various other independent and commercial network affiliates.  But there are a few in Newfoundland at the eastern extremity of the nation which unusually have callsigns that begin with the letter ‘V’.  Here’s Ray Robinson in Los Angeles to tell us how this came about.

Ray:  Thanks, Jeff.  To understand this situation, you need to know something of the history of the Canadian Province of Newfoundland and Labrador.  In the 1600’s, various claims were made to parts of Newfoundland by Britain and France due to the valuable fishing grounds around its shores, but in the Treaty of Utrecht in 1713, at the end of the War of the Spanish Succession, France acknowledged British ownership of the island and ceded complete control.  For the next 100+ years the island was subject to rather arbitrary rule by naval commanders, and Labrador also was administered as part of Newfoundland from 1809 onwards.  In 1824, London formally recognized Newfoundland and Labrador as a colony, and in 1832 a colonial assembly was established which provided a resident governor and an elective legislature.  That was, and still is, referred to as the House of Assembly.

This worked well, although there were religious tensions in the territory, with the two main political parties being the Liberals and the Conservatives.  The Liberals base of support came mainly from Irish Catholic immigrants, whereas the base of the Conservatives was the merchant class, and Protestants.  Control of the Assembly alternated between the two, but with a prosperous population of 120,000 and self-government largely a reality, in the 1869 General Election, the people voted not to join the new Dominion of Canada.  Newfoundland then continued as a colony until 26 September 1907, when it was granted Dominion status, along with New Zealand.

The Great Depression of the early 1930’s hit Newfoundland hard, as prices plunged for fish – its main export.  This triggered an economic crash, followed by a political collapse amid profound distrust of the politicians of the time and charges of corruption within the government.  The upshot was that in 1934, the people surrendered their dominion status, giving up self-government in return for financial support from London.  Newfoundland thus became and remains the only nation that has ever voluntarily relinquished democracy.

A Commission of Government was established with six commissioners appointed by London, who administered the country without elections from 1934 until 1949.  After the war, various factions favored either developing closer ties with the United States, joining Canada, or reverting to an independent Dominion.  Following intense debate, the people voted in a referendum in 1948 to join Canada, and Newfoundland was formally admitted into the Canadian Confederation in 1949.

Newfoundland’s association with radio goes all the way back to Marconi’s spark gap experiments in 1901, and the reception at St. John’s of a signal sent from Poldhu, Cornwall, England.  But the first radio broadcast station in Newfoundland was VOWR, the Voice Of Wesley Radio, owned and operated by the Wesley United Church of Canada.  It’s a non-commercial, listener supported station in St. John’s, with studios and offices at 101 Patrick Street.

VOWR first signed on the air on July 20, 1924, just over 100 years ago.  Using only 50 watts, its original experimental call sign was 8WMC, which stood for the Wesley Methodist Church.  The ITU prefix issued to the Dominion of Newfoundland before its confederation into Canada was ‘VO’, so the experimental 8WMC call was changed to VOWR in 1932.  The transmitter has always been on 800 kHz AM omnidirectional, now with 10 kW during the day and 2.5 kW at night.  Reverend Joseph G. Joyce started the station to provide a companion to people unable to get to services, but it soon expanded to provide public service programming and entertainment.  The format today is described as full service community Christian radio, with content about 30% Christian and 70% secular.  Music played includes adult standards from the ‘40’s to the ’70’s, classical, folk, classic country, oldies, marching band and beautiful music.  The station is entirely run by a team of over 50 volunteers.  Here’s a clip from 1989:

The second station in Newfoundland was VOAR, the ‘Voice of Adventist Radio’, which went on the air from St. John’s in the fall of 1929 with another experimental callsign, 8BSL.  This changed a few times, first to 8RA in 1930, VONA (‘Voice Of the North Atlantic’) in 1932, and VOAC (‘Voice Of the Adventist Church’) in 1933.  The VOAR call was adopted in 1938, and since 1991 the station broadcast on 1210 kHz AM.  But because 1210 is a clear channel frequency reserved for Class A WPHT in Philadelphia, VOAR had to use a directional antenna with unsatisfactory results.  Eventually in 2016, the CRTC agreed to permit conversion to 96.7 FM.  The station rebranded as Lighthouse FM and began testing on the FM band in December 2018.  It formally launched the following month with a format of contemporary Christian programming including talk, teaching and music.  The AM transmitter was finally switched off in 2020.  The FM transmitter is licensed to Mount Pearl, Newfoundland, now serving the St. John’s metropolitan area with an effective radiated power of 100,000 watts – the maximum for most Canadian FM stations.  VOAR is also heard on about 30 other rebroadcasters elsewhere in Newfoundland, and in Nova Scotia, Saskatchewan, British Columbia and the Northwest Territories.

But probably the most well-known ‘V’ station in Newfoundland is VOCM, which began broadcasting in 1936.  Walter Banks Williams III and his father in the family home at 80 Circular Road in St. John's were very interested in radio.  Walter attended training at RCA and at Radio Training Schools in the United States, and he set up a firm called the Atlantic Broadcasting Company.  On December 22, 1933, Atlantic was issued a licence by the Newfoundland Post and Telegraph Department to operate a station from the second floor of the family home.  The callsign applied for and granted to this new station was VOCM - chosen to mean ‘Voice Of the Common Man’.

And so, with a transmitter and other equipment built by Williams, VOCM began operations as an experimental father-and-son station operating only a few hours a day.  The station's antenna was built in the backyard and the technical equipment was placed in a backroom on the main floor.  The station first went on the air on October 19, 1936.  For the first 13 years, it used the split channel frequency of 1005 kHz, but in 1949 this was changed to the 590 kHz channel it still uses to this day with 20,000 watts.  VOCM was truly a family affair for some time; Walter's son, Walter David Williams, later joined him in working long hours at the radio station for many years.

VOCM 590 today is a full-service news/talk and music station playing soft rock and classic hits from the ‘70’s and ‘80s.  It is owned by the Stingray Group, which also  operates a number of other stations throughout the province, all with callsigns beginning with ‘C’.  Many of those carry VOCM news and are branded as the ‘VOCM/Big Land FM Radio Network’.  At least half a dozen of them now simulcast VOCM full-time, with the exception of local commercials.  These are:

CFCB 570 in Corner Brook, plus five FM translators,
CFSX 870 in Stephenville,
CHCM in Marystown, which converted from 740 AM to 88.3 FM in 2019,
CKCM 620 in Grand Falls-Windsor,
CKGA 650 in Gander, and
CKVO 710 in Clarenville.

CKCM 620 in Grand Falls first went on the air in 1962, and it happens to be the very first transatlantic DX catch of yours truly from England in October 1976.  Newfoundland is 3½ hours behind UK time, and this is what CKCM sounded like just before 3 in the morning in Luton, England, 11:26pm Newfoundland time, on Friday 1st October 1976:

I should also mention that immediately following the Second World War, the United States setup bases in Newfoundland and Labrador, accompanied by AFRTS stations which also used VO callsigns.  The last of these was VOUS in Argentia, Newfoundland, which closed in the late ‘60’s.

So, now there are just four stations remaining in Newfoundland with VO call signs – VOWR, VOAR-FM, VOCM, and its sister station VOCM-FM.  They all broadcast from St. John’s, and all but VOCM-FM predate the confederation into Canada in 1949.  VOWR, VOAR-FM and VOCM were all allowed to keep their VO callsigns despite the end of Newfoundland’s special ITU status.  VOCM-FM was allowed to adopt the callsign in 1982 because of its corporate association with VOCM.

Interestingly, the call sign prefix ‘VO’ remains in use by radio amateurs in Newfoundland to this day.

Back to you, Jeff.
