Dear Listeners and Friends of IRRS-Shortwave,
It's the time of the year when we are usually summing up our
activities, and deciding whether and how to follow up in the next. At
the end of the year we will be having our annual board meeting, but I
can anticipate that we will continue broadcasting on Shortwave,
focusing even more to far away countries, besides our usual targets in
Europe, North Africa and Middle East.
Just before Christmas I would like to inform you of a new, exceptional
news program that will be broadcasted effective Dec. 22, 2012 weekly
each Saturday at 20:45 CET (19:45 UTC) on 7290 kHz and 1368 kHz Medium
Wave. The program is a 15 minute program in French and English
specifically created for Shortwave about issues related to Europe and
interesting to our European audience. I will not reveal the name just
now, just listen and send your reception report directly to the
address that you hear on the air. They also QSL directly.
Lastly if you have not sent a reception report for our newly started
Medium Wave broadcasts, we will sending out a special QSL card for
reception reports received ONLY for broadcasts in the following time
slots, as heard ONLY until Dec. 31, 2012:
- 20:00-21:00 UTC (21:00-22:00 CET) on 7290 kHz and 1368 kHz MW
- 06:00-07:00 UTC (07:00-08:00 CET) on 1368 kHz MW
Please do write us, tell us about our content, what you like and you
do not like, besides technical quality, and send your email or letter
to:
- email: reports@nexus.org - or:
- by snail mail to: IRRS, PO Box 10980, I-20110 Milano, Italy
All letters and comments are greatly appreciated, and help
demonstrating to our broadcasters that Shortwave is still viable, and
really help us to stay on the air.
During the Christmas and New Year break will be working on a new
system to send QSL cards almost in real time. All those who sent a
reception report recently will be notified by email on how to receive
our new QSL card.
In the meantime, have a wonderful Christmas time with your families,
and a very Happy new year 2013 from all of us here in Milano.
73s,
Ron
