German Radio Amateurs Breathe New Life Into 'Orphaned' Shortwave Channel

A few radio amateurs are frustrated broadcasters, and when German national broadcaster the Deutsche Welle closed down a 500 kW shortwave broadcast transmitter near Munich, an entity headed and operated by hams applied for and was granted the vacant channel of 6070 kHz in the 49 meter shortwave band. DARC Radio -- which has a business association with the Deutscher Amateur Radio Club (DARC http://www.darc.de/) but is privately owned -- now has a 10 kW broadcast station, branded "Channel 292 http://www.channel292.de," up and running, and a new Amateur Radio DX program will debut next month.

WWCR Transmitter maintenance

On Saturday August 24, WWCR transmitters 1 and 2 were taken off-air for a combined six hours of downtime as well as a combined six hours of labor and instruction. WWCR's Chief Engineer, Phil Patton, examined the constantly running transmitters thoroughly while also providing valuable instruction about the Continental 418E transmitters to staff members Chris Buchanan, Nathan Smith, Allan Gray, Kevin White and Brady Murray.

The purpose of this planned downtime and maintenance session was not only to clean and inspect the equipment but also to provide WWCR's non-engineering staff with the valuable opportunity to learn about the 100kW shortwave transmitters in a hands-on setting. The entire staff welcomed this rare opportunity to assist Phil and to ask questions.

WWCR's mission to provide listeners and broadcasters with the most informed, trained and professional staff was certainly furthered on that Saturday afternoon. Knowlegde was freely shared as well as a few good laughs.

Dedication of New Shortwave Radio Site in Australia Fulfills 24-Year Vision

May 3, 2013 - by Harold Goerzen

David Maindonald seemed incredulous as he reflected on his 24-year vision to air the gospel via shortwave radio from Australia to the Asia Pacific Region.

"Yes, the story of HCJB Global-Australia is truly a story of what God has done," he told a crowd at the dedication of the ministry's new international broadcast site in Kununurra, adjacent to the original

site that had been used to broadcast since 2003.

"The curtain antenna came from Croatia. It was brand new but it was intended by the communists to send propaganda all across the former Soviet Union. The towers were bought from the Australian Army for 5 cents on the dollar. Those are scrap metal prices! The transmitters are the refurbished transmitters from Radio Station HCJB in Ecuador, now being repurposed to reach this part of the world."

Also attending the ceremony were HCJB Global Asia Pacific Executive Director Ty Stakes, Australian Member of Parliament Barry Haase and Meg Shedley, who turns 90 this year. Back in 1997 when the Australian government still wasn't issuing international broadcast licenses, she and her husband, Don, donated a 200-acre farm in Kununurra in faith that it could serve as an international shortwave site.

excerpt from the report....

"A third HC100 coming in a few months will be digital, enabling us to reach a whole new audience with the clear, digital sounds of shortwave," added Pederson. "[Our Australian partners] are dedicated

people, and they've done a great job. You should see this impressive facility."

AWR Wavescan Special - Tribute to Ekala

The Sri Lanka Broadcasting Corporation has announced that they plan to close their historic shortwave station located at Ekala, a dozen miles north of Colombo in Sri Lanka. In view of the close association of Adventist World Radio with SLBC and their Ekala shortwave station over a long period of time beginning back in 1951, we are planning to honor the occasion with a special edition of the AWR DX program Wavescan, under the title "Tribute to Ekala". We plan to broadcast this special edition of Wavescan under the old title from around 40 years ago, "Radio Monitors International". At this stage, the closure date for SLBC Ekala is not yet finally confirmed, though it is our intent to place this special program on the air in the regular scheduling of Wavescan to co-incide with their last week on the air. SLBC plans to transfer their shortwave planning to the ex-Deutsche Welle station located near Trincomalee on the east coast of the island.

A special one time only QSL card will be prepared, based on the early QSL cards issued in Poona India for the broadcasts from AWR-Asia and Radio Monitors International. All reception reports for this one particular edition of Wavescan-Radio Monitors International will be verified with this special card, and the reception reports can be for any of the broadcasts of this program over any station that carries the program. Postal mail reception reports are preferred, with return postage, though in some cases email reports will be verified.

The only address for this special QSL card "Tribute to Ekala", is :-

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.

Rampisham transmitter site to close by Christmas

........................Naleen Kumar at Rampisham transmitter site, April 2011

from BECTU Union website 18 August 2011:

Babcock Engineering has announced plans to close the Rampisham transmitter site by Christmas 2011. BECTU members at the Rampisham transmitter site in Dorset run by Babcock Engineering were shocked to learn yesterday (17 August) of plans to close the facility by Christmas with the loss of 19 jobs.
Staff across the UK had been expecting bad news after the decision by BBC World Service in January this year to sharply reduce the number of hours of shortwave broadcasting and to end it altogether by 2014.
Despite this advance warning, yesterday's announcement still came as a shock. The company also plans to close three posts at the Woofferton site in Shropshire with four at Orford Ness in Suffolk also at risk of closure.
An initial meeting between BECTU representatives and management took place yesterday; the consultation period is due to end on 19 September.
Assistant general secretary Luke Crawley said: "The loss of 19 jobs at Rampisham and seven elsewhere in the network will come as a terrible blow to our members. We have already pressed the management to do everything they can to minimise the impact including offering redeployment and retraining where appropriate. Transmission members will note with regret that this announcement will also end seventy years of shortwave broadcasting from Rampisham."

KTWR Guam Transmitter Project: Milestone reached!

http://www.twr.asia/twrasia/front_news/guam_project_milestone

AWR expansion

* AWR Announcement: Expansion at KSDA Guam

 

A special news release from the international headquarters of Adventist World Radio in suburban Washington DC gives broad details of an expansion project at the AWR shortwave station on the island of Guam in the Western Pacific.  This news release was prepared by Shelly Nolan Freesland, who is the Communication Director for the entire AWR System.  This news release states:-

The Board of Directors of Adventist World Radio has approved, in concept, the expansion of AWR's shortwave broadcasting facility, station KSDA, on the island of Guam in the Pacific Ocean.  It is intended that this project will result in much better coverage of China which is a critical mission area for the Seventh‐day Adventist Church.

The Guam station, which was established in 1987, currently broadcasts programs in 30+ languages for nearly 300 hours each week to a large portion of Asia.  Just over half of these hours consist of Mandarin programming for listeners in China.  

The station's shortwave footprint also includes India; and together with China, these two countries contain close to half of the world's total population.  In addition, listeners in countries such as Vietnam, North Korea, Cambodia, Indonesia and more, can all hear AWR programming in their own languages.

The technical equipment for shortwave station KSDA currently consists of six antenna towers, four curtain antennas, and five transmitters at 100 kW each. The largest tower is 330 feet tall, and each curtain antenna is about the size of two football fields. 

The shortwave signals that are generated at AWR Guam can travel for thousands of miles, enabling the gospel message for these last days to freely enter many areas without hindrance.  Although the current equipment enables a good reliable signal to cover many areas in Eastern Asia, yet a stronger signal is needed to adequately reach listeners in the northern areas of Eastern Asia, such as northern China, Mongolia, Siberia, and beyond. 

This new project for increasing the reliable coverage area from shortwave station KSDA calls for an additional curtain antenna.  Adding a fifth antenna will enable AWR to broadcast a strong signal to these northern areas during prime listening hours, as well as simultaneously transmitting additional programs in more languages.

"Over the years, our Mandarin broadcasts have generated an incredible response from listeners in China," says AWR president Dr. Dowell Chow.  "But these listeners are primarily located in the south part of the country, where our signal is much more consistent and clear.  So our goal is to provide the same quality of broadcasts to the millions of people living in the areas further to the north."

"At the same time," continued Dr Chow, "We are continuing to develop programs in additional languages.  We are pleased to have recently found producers for AWR programming in the languages of Tibet and Bhutan.  When these new programs are ready for broadcast, we will need the additional air time on this planned new antenna system."

Additionally, Dr Chow stated, that while AWR recently placed significant resources into launching a comprehensive podcasting system – in which all of our radio programming can also be heard worldwide online – we recognize that shortwave broadcasts are still a vital part of our mission.  He added that in spite of the growth in Internet usage, shortwave is still the primary method of receiving information for literally hundreds of millions of people.  A full 24 percent of the world's population does not have regular access to electricity.  So at AWR, we remain very aware that our listeners in many areas throughout the world are extremely diverse.

AWR states that the installation of the new tower and antenna system should be completed by the end of 2012, which is the 25th anniversary of station KSDA Guam.

In explanation, it is stated that Adventist World Radio is the international mission radio arm of the worldwide Seventh‐day Adventist denomination.  Programs are broadcast in particular throughout Asia, Africa, Europe, and the Middle East on shortwave as well as by AM & FM radio.  Additionally, all of the AWR multi‐language programming is also available worldwide as podcasts, and also on‐demand at awr.org.

"We are thrilled to have reached this latest milestone in our company's history, and we are looking forward to continuing to serve broadcast customers everywhere in the world," said Conlon. "With our superb development team and unmatched customer support, our goal is to make Nautel the undisputed leader in quality, reliability and operational capabilities. We're dedicated to living up to our motto, 'Expect More', in every way."
