===== ASIA =====

BURMA / MYANMAR
7200.0, Myanma Radio, 1235-1255, June 3. In vernacular
with music program; mixing with Korea till they went
off at 1249, just after the National Anthem, then Myanmar
was almost fair.
[Howard]

CHINA
4940, Voice of Strait, *1300, June 3, I can confirm their new
sign-on time (ex: *1200); starts their program slightly past
1300, hence no pips given, but right into Chinese. This is
unfortunate as in the past they always had an ID in English
("This is the Voice of Taiwan Strait News Radio") just after
the pips at 1300.
[Howard]
5050, Guangxi Beibu Bay Radio (BBR), 1156, June 1.
This is again very pleasant listening, as China Huayi BC has
now moved off this frequency (now on 6185), leaving BBR in the
clear. Pop music; ToH pips, multi-language IDs, "B-B-R news"
in Vietnamese; language lesson (Chinese and Vietnamese).
[Howard]
6030, CNR-1, 1320, June 1. As Hiroshi (reported by
Sei-ichi Hasegawa in dxldyg) has already noted, this has
resumed broadcasting again here, along with 6175 and 4460.
Minghui Radio (clandestine) is truly jammed now with the
strong echo of CNR-1 programming.
[Howard]
6175.0, CNR-1, 1318, June 1. With the resumption
of this strong signal here, is harder to hear Voice of Malaysia
on 6174.4v. Was great while they were off!
[Howard]
6185, China Huayi BC, ex: 5050, 1213, June 1. Nice
to find they have returned again to their former frequency,
which is now clear. Usual format of talk till BoH; then
non-stop pop songs till 1300 pips and off (no sign-off
announcement). Sei-ichi Hasegawa has confirmed CHBC
is on 6185 kHz. Was heard in Japan at 1100 on 6/2/10, but
covered at 1125 by NHK in Russian. Thanks to Sei-ichi
for his affirmation.
[Howard]
9505, Voice of Strait, 1255-1300*, June 7. Thanks to a
reminder from Hiroshi (via Mauno Ritola); I found VOS in Chinese,
with pips and off. About 10-15 seconds later the transmitter started
up on 4940 and audio began at 1301. Too bad that the ID in English
gets lost in the switch over!
[Howard]

INDONESIA
4749.95, RRI Makassar, June 10 doing much better
than normal from 1216 to 1230, with the relay of the news from
Jakarta (World Cup news and sound bite of the World Cup song
in English, etc.); mixing with QRM; // 9680 (RRI Jakarta); ends
news with distinctive choral National Anthem (Indonesia Raya);
after the NA no longer //.
RRI Fak Fak off the air during this same time period on 4789.96.
[Howard]
4789.96, RRI Fak Fak, 1202-1224, June 7. Relay of the Jakarta
news; ends with choral Anthem; // 9680; not // after the Anthem;
better than recent receptions; today had lighter CODAR QRM
than usual.
[Howard]
9525.88v, Voice of Indonesia, 1303, June 1. In English;
usual Tuesday joint VOI Jakarta and RRI Banjarmasin
program; news (elections in South Kalimantan tomorrow
for governor and deputy governor, etc.); frequency given
for RRI Banjarmasin as 95.2 Mhz.; almost fair, but still
with the ever present hum.
[Howard]

MALAYSIA/SARAWAK
7270.47, Wai FM via RTM, 1351,
June 9. In vernacular; 1400-1405: news which started and ended
with the usual "Limbang" jingle; followed by DJ with pop songs.
Has been over a year since this was last off frequency and it
certainly helps getting away from PBS Nei Menggu on 7270.0.
June 10 continued off frequency at 1408.

RNZI Airs New Radio Heritage
Documentary
Papua New Guinea Radio
75 Years On the Air
____________________________

Join us from Monday June 14 2010 when we air our new radio heritage
documentary about Papua New Guinea Radio on the Mailbox program from
Radio New Zealand International.

It's 75 years this year since 4PM Port Moresby began its first
commercial broadcasts to the largely unexplored territory of Papua
New Guinea.

We take a look back at those early days, soon to be followed by an
amazing variety of radio stations that filled the airwaves over the
following decade.

You can listen directly via shortwave or audio on demand [for the
following month] with full details of broadcast frequencies and times
for your area and audio downloads at www.rnzi.com.

You'll hear about the Armed Forces Radio Jungle Network, the
Australian Army Amenities Service network, propaganda broadcasts from
Rabaul, the shared command station 9PA and more about the signals on
the airwaves of the mountains, islands, and jungles of this scattered
archipelago in the south-west Pacific.

Just how do you go about broadcasting to the home of several thousand
local dialects and languages when the only transport your station has
available is the truck that empties the town toilets every night.

Join David Ricquish of the Radio Heritage Foundation for a
fascinating story about early radio in Papua New Guinea and some
enjoyable local music.

You'll also find the story of the joint command station 9PA, and
guides to the AFRS Jungle Network and the Australian AAS network
stations across Papua New Guinea at www.radioheritage.net.

Use our free Pacific Asian Log Radio Guides for full details of AM
and shortwave broadcasters from around the entire region including
Papua New Guinea.

RNZI's Mailbox program from Monday June 14 via shortwave and audio on
demand with full times and schedules for your area now at
www.rnzi.com.

Radio Heritage Foundation is a registered non-profit organization
connecting popular culture, nostalgia and radio heritage across the
Pacific.

It's global website www.radioheritage.net offers free community
access to Pacific Radio Guides and other valuable resources.

Annual supporter packages start at US$10 and your donations keep this
important radio heritage preservation and information project alive.

Broadcast Australia and RTM Malaysia order Continental Electronics DRM Transmitters

Broadcast Australia has asked DRM member company Continental Electronics to supply two new DRM-ready 100 kilowatt transmitters for two of its short-wave stations.  The purchase represents the first step in Broadcast Australia's plan to enhance its digital short-wave (HF) broadcast capabilities throughout its network of transmitters. The state-of-the-art Continental Model 418G-DRM transmitters will enable Broadcast Australia to transmit programming in analogue AM and digital (DRM) modes from both stations, Tenant Creek and Shepparton.  Both transmitters are expected to be on the air and fully operational by late summer. 

Radio-Television Malaysia (RTM) has chosen the same Continental model for its new short-wave transmitters. The three 100 kilowatt DRM-ready HF transmitters from Continental, along with other associated equipment, are to be installed in the RTM transmitting station at Kajang, and will enable RTM transmissions in digital DRM format as well as conventional analogue AM. RTM's new transmitters are expected to be on the air and fully operational before the end of the year.

"Radio Resistencia", una voz en español en directo desde Palestina

http://www.google.com/hostednews/epa/article/ALeqM5j834ckR0Pu_TxAON4VU-YtcSI9Bg

Por Agencia EFE – hace 19 horas

Jerusalén, 11 jun (EFE).- "Radio Muqawama" (Resistencia, en árabe) es la única emisora local en español de los territorios palestinos, un proyecto independiente que emplea internet para difundir una voz alternativa palestina en España y América Latina.

"Pensamos que había una falta de información en castellano sobre el conflicto y decidimos poner en marcha un proyecto para llevar voces palestinas al mundo hispanohablante", explica a Efe Sergio Yahni, co-director de la ONG palestino-israelí "Centro de Información Alternativa" (AIC), a la que pertenece la iniciativa.

"Radio Muqawama" difunde un programa semanal a través de la página web de la organización (www.alternativenews.org), desde la que todo el que lo desee puede descargar y usar libremente el material radiofónico, que también se distribuye a través de redes sociales virtuales como "Facebook".

Según Yahni, alrededor de unas cuarenta cadenas emiten el programa y hay acuerdos de colaboración con emisoras como la de las Madres de Plaza de Mayo, en Argentina, la del movimiento brasileño de los Sin Tierra, "Radio Sur" de Colombia, la venezolana "Vive TV" o la canaria "Radio Guiniguada".

Marcel Masferrer, coordinador y locutor de "Radio Muqawama", asegura que ésta es una herramienta de sensibilización para informar sobre el conflicto con un formato "innovador y muy potente" gracias al uso de internet, que permite que sean los propios oyentes quienes difundan la información.

"La idea no es tanto promover la imagen de marca de la organización, sino que la información alternativa fluya libremente", señala este cooperante.

El contenido del programa se centra en la situación en los territorios palestinos ocupados: se revisan las noticias más importantes de la actualidad, se entrevista a personajes que no siempre consiguen llegar a los medios comerciales y se deja un espacio para la música, presentando en cada programa una canción, casi siempre árabe.

Para Masferrer, el tratamiento de la información en lo que denomina "las ondas libres desde Palestina" es periodístico, aunque siempre siguiendo un enfoque de derechos humanos, basado en la legislación internacional, las convenciones de Ginebra y el reconocimiento de los derechos palestinos.

"No somos imparciales ante la ocupación. Creemos que no se puede utilizar la excusa de la neutralidad para olvidar los derechos humanos", dice este catalán, que añade que "cuando hay un bloqueo absoluto a una línea de pensamiento, el canal alternativo tiene la labor de dar voz a la gente que está silenciada".

La elaboración de "Radio Muqawama" es posible gracias a la colaboración semanal de voces voluntarias, en su mayoría de cooperantes españoles que trabajan en la región y que ayudan de forma altruista a doblar las entrevistas al castellano.

En la emisora, al igual que en el resto de la información que sale del AIC, señala Masferrer, están presentes "los principales derechos del pueblo palestino: el derecho a acabar con la ocupación, el derecho de los palestinos dentro de Israel a acabar con la discriminación que sufren y el derecho al retorno de los refugiados".

Yahni señala que el objetivo del programa es reflejar las luchas que existen en el conflicto palestino-israelí, "mostrar las diferentes voces que hay para, así, apoyar un proyecto democrático para israelíes, palestinos y el otro 15 por ciento de la población que hay aquí que no es ni judía ni palestina".

Para este israelí de origen argentino, la importancia de los medios alternativos en ésta región radica en que los tradicionales ven este conflicto "sólo a través de dos prismas: el de la diplomacia y el de la violencia", sin prestar atención a los movimientos populares que "a pesar de no ser noticia a priori, son quienes realmente tienen la capacidad de romper el estancamiento".

"Años de diplomacia no lograron lo que ha conseguido la 'Flotilla de la Libertad', que ha puesto sobre la mesa y en primera página la necesidad de hablar sobre el bloqueo a la franja de Gaza", señala, en referencia reciente al asalto del Ejército israelí a barcos internacionales que trasladaban ayuda humanitaria a la franja palestina y que se saldó con nueve civiles turcos muertos.

Un conflicto enquistado como éste, afirma Yahni, "sólo se puede desbloquear a través de los movimientos populares, que son capaces de provocar un cambio que rompa la relación de poderes existente", algo que "no pueden lograr ni los gobiernos ni tampoco las guerras".

Kampala — As the World Cup kicks-off this weekend, a battle over who has the rights to broadcast the games on television and radio is set to emerge.

A battle on who has the broadcasting rights for the World Cup in the Ugandan territory is led by Uganda Broadcasting Corporation. South Africa based DStv have the pay-per-view rights for Africa.

Several radio stations will particularly be hit. If implemented, failure by local radio stations to broadcast the World Cup could have an equal impact on the English Premiership broadcasts on local FM radios.

According to a statement from UBC, they have secured the exclusive free to air rights for both radio and television.

According to UBC, this includes the derivative works that arise from the free to air broadcasts of the matches, including free to air broadcasts and commentary in local languages.

"All advertisers, who have been approached for sponsorship of the live commentary in the World Cup in local languages are advised that Uganda Broadcasting Corporation has not granted permission to any radio or television stations at this stage," read part of the statement.

But another statement from DStv said that they will be able to broadcast all the 64 matches live in the country.

"Not only will SuperSport screen every one of the 64 matches live on DStv countrywide, but the action will be supplemented by expert analysis," read the statement by Charles Hamya, MultiChoice Uganda's MD.

"We will be the only pay-TV service in the country whose subscribers can see the FIFA 2010 World Cup in High Definition
