RTÉ Radio 1 to close longwave services on 14 April

 

RTÉ Radio 1 will cease broadcasting on Long Wave 252 from Friday 14th April 2023.

The station continues to broadcast on FM, on Saorview and Saorsat, along with RTÉ Radio Player and Irish Radioplayer apps.

In the UK, Radio 1 will still be available on Freesat, Sky, and Virgin Media, along with online streaming services such as smart speakers.

The phasing out and closure of the Long Wave service was one of the recommendations of the Future of Media Commission Report which was published by the Government in July 2022. This was part of a wider recommendation aimed at ensuring RTÉ could invest available resources in innovation and digital service.

Radio Andorra slated for April 2 broadcast

 

Radio Andorra, from Kall Krekell in Germany, will broadcast on Sunday, April 2. The broadcast will be from 1600-1900 UTC on 6065 kHz and 1900-2200 UTC on 3985 kHz.

The program is from a 1979 archive from Radio-Andorre: Carte Blanche to François Chatel.

Shortwave Radiogram schedules, Thursday-Monday

 

Hello friends

In Europe and North America, the moving forward of clocks for summer time is now complete. Check the schedule below, and be sure your conversions from UTC to local time are correct.

This weekend's Shortwave Radiogram includes two images of the northern lights. Recent solar activity has resulted in auroral displays farther south than usual, including Virginia and Texas. Of course, the solar activity also affects shortwave propagation, resulting in some short-term blackouts and longer-term enhancements. The higher shortwave frequencies perform better (so I miss the 17870 kHz used for VOA Radiogram from North Carolina to Europe).

A video of last weekend's Shortwave Radiogram (program 297)  is provided by Scott in Ontario (Friday 1300 UTC). The audio archive is maintained by Mark in the UK. Analysis is prepared by Roger in Germany.

Here is the lineup for Shortwave Radiogram, program 298, 30 March-3 April 2023, in MFSK modes as noted:

 

 1:38  MFSK32: Program preview

 2:45  MFSK32: Liquid CO2 test ship launched in Japan*

Highlights of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity 20 - 26 March 2023

Solar activity reached moderate levels on 20 March due to an isolated M1 flare (R1-Minor) at 20/0148 UTC from Region 3256 (S23, L=010, class/area, Eho/300 on 25 Mar). The large collection of remaining sunspot regions produced nothing higher than C-class flare activity throughout the rest of the reporting period. 

No proton events were observed at geosynchronous orbit.

The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit reached moderate levels throughout the reporting period. 

On 23-24 March, Earth was impacted by the most significant geomagnetic storm of the current solar cycle. It began as a Strong (G3) geomagnetic storm on 23 March at about 1500 UTC and peaked on 24 March at around 0400 UTC as a Severe (G4) geomagnetic storm. This was the first Severe Geomagnetic Storm since 04 November 2021 (as reported from Potsdam). The storm was significantly stronger than expected. On 22 March, the Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) issued G1 and G2 watches for 23 and 24 March respectively. The most likely source of the geomagnetic storm was a long-duration solar flare on 20 March at 1534 UTC. SWPC and international partner modeling suggested weak glancing impacts from the 20 March CME. ENLIL modeling parameters were likely degraded due to the unavailability of wide-angle coronagraph (SOHO/LASCO C3) or STEREO Ahead imagery. The solar wind environment was significantly disturbed after the CME's arrival. Total field strength peaked at 22 nT. The Bz component reflected a prolonged southward deviation of -15 to -17 nT for over 14.5 hours. The remainder of the summary period observed unsettled to active geomagnetic levels. 

Forecast of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity 27 March - 22 April 2023

Solar activity is expected to be at low levels with a slight chance for (R1-R2, Minor-Moderate) events. 

No proton events are expected at geosynchronous orbit.

The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit is expected to be at high levels on 27 March - 06 April, with moderate levels on 07-22 April. 

Geomagnetic field activity is expected to reach G1 (Minor) storm levels on 20-21 April, with active conditions on 31 Mar and 01, 10-11, 16, and 18 April in response to recurrent CH HSS influence. Quiet to unsettled levels are anticipated for the remainder of the outlook period.

Shortwave Radiogram schedules

 

Hello friends

This will be another weekend of changes: Most of Europe will move its clocks forward on March 26. That same day the A23 HF (shortwave) frequency season begins. Many shortwave broadcast stations will change frequencies to adjust for seasonal propagation. As far as I know, there are no changes for the WRMI and WINB frequencies used for Shortwave Radiogram. This weekend the only local time change would be for the Monday 0800-0830 transmission, which is usually difficult to hear in Europe.

If you are able to receive and decode the DRM transmission on Friday (it's a challenge!), please note that its time has changed to 1400-1430 UTC -- at least it did last weekend -- on 15755 kHz from WRMI Florida. If you don't hear it at 1400-1430 UTC, try 1500 UTC, in case WINB decides after all to keep programs on this frequency pegged to UTC, like they did last year.

Here in the Washington DC area, early spring means that the famous cherry trees are in bloom. There are lots of photos of the cherry blossoms available, but surprisingly few that would work well on Shortwave Radiogram. A lack of good lighting is the main culprit. One cherry tree photo is included in this weekend's show.

A video of last weekend's Shortwave Radiogram (program 296) is provided by Scott in Ontario (Friday 1300 UTC).  The audio archive is maintained by Mark in the UK. The analysis is prepared by Roger in Germany.

Here is the lineup for Shortwave Radiogram, program 297, 23-27 March 2023, in MFSK modes as noted:

Highlights of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity 13 - 19 March 2023

Solar activity reached moderate levels on 17 Mar due to an M1/Sn flare (R1 - Minor) at 17/1507 UTC from Region 3247 (S24, L=162, class/area=Cao/100 on 08 Mar). The other 17 numbered active regions on the visible disk only produced low levels of solar activity during the summary period. Other activity included many filament eruptions but only a DSF on ~17/0930 UTC, centered near S40W38, was modeled and thought to have an Earth-directed component. Model output suggested the anticipated onset of the CME to be late on 20 Mar to early on 21 Mar. Lastly, a Type IV radio sweep was observed in conjunction with an impulsive C9/1n 18/0716 UTC flare from Region 3256 (S22, L=004, class/area=Eko/270 on 19 Mar). 

The greater than 10 MeV proton flux reached S1 (Minor) levels on 13 Mar. The enhancement was associated with a full-halo CME first observed in SOHO/LASCO C2 imagery beginning near 13/0336 UTC. The energetic event was determined to be associated with activity on the far-side of the Sun but still was able to produce significant enhancements in relativistic proton flux on the GOES-16 satellite. S1 conditions were reached again on 14 Mar, with an additional enhancement associated with a shock ahead of a CME that would arrive on 15 Mar that would increase 10 MeV protons back above the S1 threshold to an eventual peak flux of 22 pfu at 15/0425 UTC. After shock passage, the >10 MeV proton flux quickly decreased, with the last observation above the S1 threshold observed at 15/0530 UTC. 

The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit was moderate levels over the summary period. 

Geomagnetic field activity range from quiet to G2 (Moderate) geomagnetic storm levels. G2 conditions were observed on 15 Mar in response to influence from a CMEs that left the Sun over 11 and 12 Mar. Total magnetic field strength (Bt) increased from 8 nT 18 nT during the shock at 15/0347 UTC. With the shock, wind speeds increased from ~425 km/s to ~525 km/s. Bt reached a peak of 24-25 nT shortly after and solar wind speeds were recorded at ~570 km/s before both speeds and Bt underwent a gradual decline. Weaker activity, also associated with transient activity produced active conditions on 14 Mar and 16 Mar. Mostly quiet to unsettled conditions were observed on 17-19 Mar and only quiet conditions were observed on 13 Mar. 

Forecast of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity 20 March - 15 April 2023

Solar activity is expected to be at low levels with a chance for R1-R2 (Minor-Moderate) events. This is due to the flare potential of regions both currently on the visible disk and significant regions expected to return to the visible disk from the far side of the Sun over the outlook period. 

No proton events are expected at geosynchronous orbit.

The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit is expected to range from moderate to high levels. High levels are likely on 26-29 Mar and 31 Mar - 06 Apr due to multiple, recurrent CH HSSs. The remainder of the outlook period is likely to be at

normal to moderate levels. 

Geomagnetic field activity is expected to be at quiet to G2 (Moderate) geomagnetic storm levels. G2 conditions are likely on 25 Mar; G1 (Minor) conditions are likely on 26 Mar and 30-31 Mar; active conditions are likely on 20-21 Mar, 01-02 Apr and 10-11 Apr; unsettled conditions are likely on 24 Mar, 27-28 Mar, 03-04 Apr, 12 Apr and 14-15 Apr. With the exception of 20-21 Mar, which is expected to include possible transient influence as well, all anticipated enhancements in geomagnetic conditions are in response to multiple, recurrent CH HSSs. The remainder of the outlook period is expected to be at mostly quiet levels.

Shortwave Radiogram schedules, Saturday-Monday

 

Hello friends

In North America, the transition to "daylight savings time" is now complete. WINB maintains its schedule on Eastern Time in the USA, so Shortwave Radiogram will be one hour earlier by UTC. The WRMI frequencies used for Shortwave Radiogram stay with UTC for their schedules, so Shortwave Radiogram will be one hour later by local time in most of North America. The schedule below reflects these changes.

We were caught by surprise by WRMI's transmission of The Mighty KBC on Sundays. WRMI's 5950 kHz frequency stays with Eastern Time in the USA, so The Mighty KBC is now Sundays 2100-2300 UTC, with the minute of MFSK64 now at 2230 UTC.

The images in this weekend's Shortwave Radiogram show the effects of the "noreaster" weather event that occurred in the eastern USA. Down here in Virginia, not far from the Atlantic coast, there was no snow, but we did get two days of heavy gusts. These became a bit tiresome to listen to as they shook the house. Somehow, my antennas survived.

Videos of last weekend's Shortwave Radiogram (program 295)  are provided by Scott in Ontario (Friday 1300 UTC) and by Szabolcs Bognár in Hungary (Saturday 0330 UTC, audio excerpt only).  The audio archive is maintained by Mark in the UK. The analysis is prepared by Roger in Germany.

Here is the lineup for Shortwave Radiogram, program 296, 16-20 March 2023, in MFSK modes as noted:

 

 1:35  MFSK32: Program preview

 2:42  MFSK32: Putting solar panels on reservoirs*

 7:55  MFSK64: What makes senior towns in Iowa "smart"?*

13:50  MFSK64: This week's images*

27:58  MFSK32: Closing announcements

New funding to protect BBC World Service language services

 

Press Release

The government awarded the BBC World Service £20 million to support language services and English-language broadcasting, as part of the Integrated Review refresh.

The government has awarded a one-off payment of £20 million to the BBC World Service as part of the refresh of the Integrated Review.

The money is being provided to protect all 42 World Service language services over the next 2 years, support English-language broadcasting, and counter disinformation.

The refreshed Integrated Review concludes that democracies like the UK must go further to out-cooperate and out-compete states that are driving instability. Developments over the past year, particularly the conflict in Ukraine, have shown the importance of being able to counter the hostile use of disinformation and to tackle the spread of harmful state narratives.

Foreign Secretary James Cleverly said:

The BBC World Service is vital in the fight against the spread of disinformation around the world. This funding will ensure people across the globe continue to have access to accurate, high-quality journalism.

As the world’s most trusted international broadcaster, the BBC World Service is a vital tool in providing accurate and impartial news, analysis and discussion in 42 languages to 365 million people around the world each week. This one-off funding will allow the BBC World Service to maintain its unrivaled status as the world’s largest international broadcaster, and to continue playing its crucial role in tackling harmful disinformation through providing trusted, impartial news and analysis globally.

Highlights of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity 06 - 12 March 2023

Solar activity ranged from low to high levels. There were five M-class (R1-R2 Minor-Moderate) flares over the reporting period. The largest was an M5.8/2n (R2) flare from Region 3243 (N18, L=306, and class/area=Dao/110 on 05 Mar). Associated with the event was a Type II radio sweep, a Tenflare, and a CME signature in SOHO/LASCO imagery. The ejecta was analyzed and determined to not contain an Earth-directed component. Region 3242 (N10, L=218, class/area=Esc/300 on 07 Mar) and Region 3245 (S23, L=196, class/area=Dhi/440 on 08 Mar) also produced M-class (R1) events. The remaining 11 and other spotted regions were either quiet or only produced C-class events. 

Other activities included three filament eruptions. The first was a SW quadrant eruption near S20W50, beginning around 10/1600 UTC. The second was just south of the first, which began erupting around 11/1648 UTC. Both were analyzed and modeled. Although they were mostly oriented to the SW of Earth, the potential for a glancing blow was determined to be likely around 15 Mar. Finally, the third filament eruption, which began around 12/1730 UTC and in the SE quadrant near Region 3251 (S13, L=121, class/area=Hsx/50 on 12 Mar), produced a CME signature first seen in SOHO/LASCO C2 imagery at 12/1912 UTC. Analysis and modeling of the event is ongoing. 

No proton events were observed at geosynchronous orbit.

The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit was at moderate to high levels. High levels were observed on 06-10 Mar due to the influence of a negative polarity CH HSS. 11-12 Mar were at normal to moderate levels. 

Geomagnetic field activity was at quiet to active levels. Waning coronal hole influence elevated wind speeds to between 500-600 km/s on 06-07 Mar before declining to nominal levels by 08 Mar. This produced isolated periods of active conditions over 06 Mar, which then declined to quiet to unsettled levels on 07-08 Mar. Weak transient influence increased total field strength to 8-9 nT on 09-10 Mar. This also produced isolated active periods on both days. Despite another weak transient influence observed in the IMF over 12 Mar, the remainder of the summary period was at quiet to unsettled levels. 

Forecast of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity 13 March - 08 April 2023

Solar activity is expected to be at low levels with a slight chance for M-class (R1-R2 Minor - Moderate) flares over the outlook period. This is due to multiple regions that have either produced M-class activity already or are sufficiently complex to produce M-class activity currently being on the visible disk or expected to return to the visible disk during the outlook period. 

No proton events are expected in geosynchronous orbit.

The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit is expected to range from moderate to high levels. High levels are likely on 27 Mar 06 Apr due to recurrent coronal hole influence. The remainder of the outlook period is expected to be at moderate

levels. 

Geomagnetic field activity is expected to range from quiet to minor storm levels (G1 - Minor). G1 conditions are likely on 15 Mar due to anticipated effects from CMEs that left the Sun on 10-11 Mar. G1 conditions are again likely on 26 Mar and 30-31 Mar in response recurrent coronal hole activity. Active conditions on 20 Mar, 25 Mar, 27 Mar and 01 Apr along with unsettled conditions on 14 Mar, 16 Mar, 19 Mar, 24 Mar, 28-29 Mar and 02-08 Apr are also due to recurrent features in the solar wind. The remainder of the outlook period is expected to be at mostly quiet levels.

Shortwave Radiogram schedules

 

Hello friends

This is the time of year when the time changes and frequency changes can complicate our shortwave listening. In most of North America, clocks will move forward one hour on Sunday, March 12. The only impact this weekend is that the "red-eye" transmission of the Shortwave Radiogram will be one hour later by local time, e.g. 4:00 am EDT, because it stays at the same UTC time. The Mighty KBC broadcast also stays at 2200-2400 UTC Sunday, so it will be at 6-8 pm EDT starting this weekend.  

Most of Europe will change clocks forward on March 26. That same date is the beginning of the A23 shortwave frequency season. More on that later this month.

Spring in the Northern Hemisphere also means flowers are blooming -- somewhat early this year due to the warm temperatures. This provides an abundant supply of flower photos which will be transmitted as MFSK64 images in the next few weeks. I hope we don't suffer from flower fatigue by the time we get through April.

The present season is also changing gray (grey) line propagation on HF (shortwave). Chris in New Zealand sent an email report of the reception of the Friday 0530-0600 UTC show on 7780 kHz (see below). This 7780 frequency was reliable for New Zealand and Australia when it was used for the Monday 0800 UTC transmission, but now WRMI uses that time and frequency for Voice of Indonesia.

A video of last weekend's Shortwave Radiogram (program 294)  is provided by Scott in Ontario (Friday 1300 UTC). The audio archive is maintained by Mark in the UK. (We miss the weekly analysis provided by Roger in Germany, who is on sabbatical.)

Here is the lineup for Shortwave Radiogram, program 295, 10-13 March 2023, in MFSK modes as noted:

 

 1:37  MFSK32: Program preview

 2:45  MFSK32: Research: First Americans arrived ~15000 years ago

USAGM expands Russian-language programming to Europe

March 9, 2023

WASHINGTON, D.C. — In response to the growing need for reliable Russian-language news and information in Central and Eastern Europe, the U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM) announced it is expanding its satellite distribution of Current Time TV. 

 

Current Time https://www.currenttime.tv/ is a 24/7 Russian-language television and digital network, providing live news, robust debate, and fact-based reporting on local, regional, and international issues, aimed at audiences in Russia, the countries of Central and Eastern Europe, and around the world. It is produced by Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty in collaboration with Voice of America.  

“There is a growing appetite across Europe for a reliable and fact-based Russian-language alternative to Kremlin-controlled information,” said USAGM CEO Amanda Bennett. “I’m thrilled to be able to reach more audiences — including the Russian diaspora — with this award-winning programming.”

 

Demand for the mix of unique feature and documentary programming that Current Time offers is expanding in Russia, Ukraine, the Baltics, and beyond. In the months following Russia's invasion, Current Time signed over 50 new media partners in countries like Estonia, Lithuania, and Moldova —?just as media outlets in those countries were dropping Russia’s RT. Current Time television content is also complemented by a robust and popular digital component that engages and connects with global audiences via social media and other platforms. Since the war began in February 2022, Current Time’s online videos have been viewed an unprecedented 4 billion times. 

 

Following an agreement with Luxembourg-based M7 Group, owned by CANAL+ Group and one of Europe’s leading pay TV providers, Current Time TV will be distributed free-to-air via both ASTRA 19.2 and Eutelsat E9B and will soon be available as a linear OTT channel via the M7 platforms in Hungary (Direct One) and Romania (Focus Sat), as well.

Preserving AM Radio in Cars Keeps America Safe

 

On a Wednesday post on the NAB blog, Curtis LeGeyt mixed history, emotion, and fact in a stirring defense of AM radio in cars. As Ford, Tesla, BMW, and Audi remove AM from the dashboard, LeGeyt reminds carmakers of AM’s role on “the front lines of history.”

AM’s prevalence in rural communities and America’s largest cities makes it a ubiquitous need. More than 47 million Americans still listen to nearly 4,500 local AM stations. The NAB continues its tireless work with lawmakers and the auto industry to improve AM radio reception and technology.

How Would a Permanent Daylight Savings affect AM Radio?

 

Salem Warns of Dire Consequences If Congress Messes With Daylight Saving Time

Atsinger and Santrella say it could be a “death blow” to many AM operators

BY PAUL MCLANE 

PUBLISHED: MARCH 8, 2023

If Daylight Saving Time became permanent, it would deal a “massive blow” to AM radio operators across the United States, according to Salem Media Group.

Their warning comes as proponents of the change resume their push in Congress.

Salem owns approximately 70 AM stations and has about 750 AM radio affiliates. Co-founder and Chairman Ed Atsinger III and CEO Dave Santrella wrote this week to House and Senate committee leaders in both parties expressing opposition to legislation that would make DST permanent.

Daylight Saving Time will resume this weekend in most of the United States. Sen. Marco Rubio, a Republican of Florida, is a proponent of making DST permanent; the Senate passed his “Sunshine Protection Act” last year but the legislation’s prospects have been uncertain.

Highlights of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity 27 February - 05 March 2023

Solar activity reached very high levels this week. In total, one R3 (Strong) event, three R2 (Moderate) events, and eight R1 (Minor) events were observed. The largest event of the period was an X2/1b flare at 03/1752 UTC from Region 3234 (N25, L=346, class/area=Fkc/860 on 28 Feb). Region 3234 was the most active sunspot region throughout the week, and in addition to the X-flare, 3234 also produced an M8 flare at 28/1750 UTC, an M5 flare at 04/1557 UTC, an M3 flare at 02/2116 UTC, and an M3/1f flare at 03/1032 UTC. Region 3243 (N18, L=306, class/area=Dao/110 on 05 Mar) produced an M5 flare at 05/2136 UTC and an M1/Sn flare at 04/0710 UTC. No Earth-directed CMEs resulted from this periods flare activity. 

No proton events were observed at geosynchronous orbit.

The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit was normal to moderate on 27 Feb, and high on 28 Feb-05 Mar. 

Geomagnetic field activity reached G3 (Strong) storm levels on 27 Feb, and G2 (Moderate) levels on 28 Feb, due to a combination of CME effects (25 Feb CME) and negative polarity CH HSS influences. Negative polarity CH HSS influences persisted over 01-05 Mar, with quiet to unsettled levels observed on 01 Mar and active conditions registered on 02-05 Mar. 

Forecast of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity 06 March - 01 April 2023

Solar activity is expected to reach moderate to high levels throughout the outlook period. Multiple recurrent active regions with significant flare histories are expected to transit the solar disk this period. 

No proton events are expected at geosynchronous orbit, barring significant flare activity. 

The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit is expected to reach high levels on 06-13 Mar and 27 Mar-01 Apr. Normal to moderate levels are expected over 14-26 Mar. 

Geomagnetic field activity is likely to reach G1 (Minor) storm levels on 06, 26, and 30 Mar and active levels on 07, 15, 20, 25, 27, 31 Mar, and 01 Apr, in response to multiple recurrent CH HSS features. Quiet and quiet to unsettled levels are expected to persist throughout the remainder of the outlook period.
