BURMA.
7200.06v, Myanma Radio. 1211-1333*, April 3.
Running a little late; in vernacular; segments of talking and of
music; signal slowly improving. CRI on 7205 signs on at 1300,
so best in LSB after that. Believe 1330 is their normal sign off
time (as per last year), but it does vary. April 3 was 1330*; on
the 4th early sign off around 1230 or so.
Today at 1330 played the usual indigenous instrumental theme
music for the start of their Distance Learning program; into a
lecture (math?); suddenly off; unable to confirm if lecture was
// 5915, as it was last year (CRI too strong to tell if they were
underneath).

CHINA.
4940, Voice of Strait. I can confirm that "Focus on China",
now has both a new schedule and new format. Heard now on Saturday
(ex-Sunday), from 1505 to 1535 UT (ex: 1530-1600).
Saturday, April 2, at 1505 a new brief "Voice of Strait, Focus on China"
ID; "Welcome to our program Focus on China. I am your host ... In
today's program we will share with you some of the major events in
review"; no IDs during the show as there were in the past; 1534 VOS
ID with email and postal address; final ID: "This is the Voice of Taiwan
Strait News Radio"; then into Chinese programming. In a few more
weeks I will have too much daylight to hear this. Will have to wait
till next winter for good reception again. Audio clip at

6035, PBS Yunnan/Voice of Shangri-La, 1300, April 3.
Usual ID in English; "This is the Voice of Shangri-La, brought to you
by Yunnan Radio." Unfortunately the adjacent QRM is strongest just
at the ToH; otherwise this was almost fair in Vietnamese; recently
their reception has been well above the norm.

INDIA.
9425, AIR Bengaluru - National Channel. Confirmed the new

Wednesday and Friday; in the past was only Mon. and Wed.; on

its surface looks like it is covered by snow. The white snow tteok is

usually served in banquets in Korea in order to celebrate new-born
babies on their 100th day. Koreans traditionally believed serving

their babies. This old custom is still practiced today.

Deutsche Welle: Ethiopian service jammed again
New example of an evident blockade of critical international media.
Deutsche Welle (DW) has condemned the latest case of jamming of its Amharic service for Ethiopia. Germany's international broadcast has appealed to the Ethiopian administration to ensure that an undisturbed shortwave signal remain available for listeners in the region. The latest infringement has made it difficult for Deutsche Welle to deliver fair and balanced news about the political, economical and social developments in the target area.
DW's shortwave signal for Ethiopia has been jammed since April 6. Programming from Voice of America has also been affected. This has lead DW officials to believe that it is a concentrated effort to block critical international media. Several individual broadcasters were also jammed in Ethiopia in May 2010 around the time of local elections.
The latest case of jamming is occurring at a point in time in which more than 200 from the alleged opposition of the Oromo Group have been arrested and journalists who have voiced criticism of the administration have been silenced. The Ethiopian administration is apparently concerned that the so-called Jasmine Revolution in North Africa will spread into their country. A call for protest has been popping up on social media platforms over the last few weeks using the motto "Beka" (enough).
After being approached by Deutsche Welle on Thursday, April 7, a spokesman from the Ethiopian government has denied any jamming attempts. The Ethiopian Prime Minister Meles Zenawi has publicly acknowledged the jamming of international broadcasters in the past.
German development organizations will be meeting on Monday, April 11 in Bonn ahead of the bilateral negotiations between Germany and Ethiopia – under the direction of the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ). For the first time, DW will use this opportunity to report on the current media landscape in Ethiopia and expand on jamming and the restrictions put on its correspondents in the country.
DW has been broadcasting its Amharic service in Ethiopia since 1965 and is along with Voice of America the most popular international source of information.

It's 7 p.m., Sunday, and Aminah Khan, an overseas Filipino worker in Dubai, hurries to her bedroom and turns on her portable radio.
In a matter of seconds, her room is filled with soothing hymns, prayers and words of blessings from a priest.
Khan is listening to "Banal na Misa" (Holy Mass) on 9.615 Mhz. shortwave, broadcast every Sunday night to the Middle East from Manila by the Radio Veritas Asia Filipino Service, a Church-run project launched in 1990 to meet the spiritual needs of migrant workers.
"I'm very lonely and the radio is my only means of enjoyment, getting news from home and hearing Holy Mass every Sunday," Khan said in a letter thanking Veritas for its daily programs which she said sustain and deepen her Christian life.
Despite the growth of the Internet and social media, thousands of overseas Filipino workers in the Middle East still use radio as a link to their homeland and a way of coping with loneliness, religious restrictions and cultural isolation.
"[Analog] broadcast - shortwave radio - has become a faithful travel partner to seafarers who might not see land for months or a companion to migrant workers who struggle with loneliness," said Sheila Hermida, program producer of the Radio Veritas Asia Filipino Service.
She said the Filipino Service does its best to bring home the truth to its listeners and makes the presence of Christ in their lives seem more alive by telling them that Jesus is accompanying them on their difficult journey and in the challenges that will come their way as migrant workers.
While shortwave giants BBC World Service, Voice of America and Radio Netherlands are shutting down most of their shortwave transmitters after embracing Web streaming technology, Radio Veritas, despite having invested in digital media, is sticking to shortwave to reach out to more migrant workers.
"Our listeners are domestic helpers, construction workers, drivers and seafarers, and most of them don't have access to the Internet," Hermida said.
"[In Saudi Arabia], there are only a few employers who allow [migrant workers] to use cell phones, most of the time they are not allowed to have one."
Shortwave has been hailed as having several advantages.
"While the Internet and cell phones are vulnerable to government interference" shortwave radio is difficult to block "if enough is invested in signal strength and bandwidth," Britain's Guardian newspaper reported.
"It is cheaper than other [platforms] of new media, plus the fact that analog radio is not difficult to use … you can just turn it on, look for the meter-band and you can listen to the program," Hermida said.
She said that with the present crisis in Middle East, Radio Veritas maintains active linkages with government agencies and non-government groups to help disseminate information to migrant workers.

BURMA.
7200.06v, Myanma Radio. 1211-1333*, April 3.
Running a little late; in vernacular; segments of talking and of
music; signal slowly improving. CRI on 7205 signs on at 1300,
so best in LSB after that. Believe 1330 is their normal sign off
time (as per last year), but it does vary. April 3 was 1330*; on
the 4th early sign off around 1230 or so.
Today at 1330 played the usual indigenous instrumental theme
music for the start of their Distance Learning program; into a
lecture (math?); suddenly off; unable to confirm if lecture was

Deutsche Welle: Ethiopian service jammed again
New example of an evident blockade of critical international media.
Deutsche Welle (DW) has condemned the latest case of jamming of its Amharic service for Ethiopia. Germany's international broadcast has appealed to the Ethiopian administration to ensure that an undisturbed shortwave signal remain available for listeners in the region. The latest infringement has made it difficult for Deutsche Welle to deliver fair and balanced news about the political, economical and social developments in the target area.
DW's shortwave signal for Ethiopia has been jammed since April 6. Programming from Voice of America has also been affected. This has lead DW officials to believe that it is a concentrated effort to block critical international media. Several individual broadcasters were also jammed in Ethiopia in May 2010 around the time of local elections.
The latest case of jamming is occurring at a point in time in which more than 200 from the alleged opposition of the Oromo Group have been arrested and journalists who have voiced criticism of the administration have been silenced. The Ethiopian administration is apparently concerned that the so-called Jasmine Revolution in North Africa will spread into their country. A call for protest has been popping up on social media platforms over the last few weeks using the motto "Beka" (enough).
After being approached by Deutsche Welle on Thursday, April 7, a spokesman from the Ethiopian government has denied any jamming attempts. The Ethiopian Prime Minister Meles Zenawi has publicly acknowledged the jamming of international broadcasters in the past.
German development organizations will be meeting on Monday, April 11 in Bonn ahead of the bilateral negotiations between Germany and Ethiopia – under the direction of the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ). For the first time, DW will use this opportunity to report on the current media landscape in Ethiopia and expand on jamming and the restrictions put on its correspondents in the country.
DW has been broadcasting its Amharic service in Ethiopia since 1965 and is along with Voice of America the most popular international source of information.

April 5, 2011
It's 7 p.m., Sunday, and Aminah Khan, an overseas Filipino worker in Dubai, hurries to her bedroom and turns on her portable radio.
In a matter of seconds, her room is filled with soothing hymns, prayers and words of blessings from a priest.
Khan is listening to "Banal na Misa" (Holy Mass) on 9.615 Mhz. shortwave, broadcast every Sunday night to the Middle East from Manila by the Radio Veritas Asia Filipino Service, a Church-run project launched in 1990 to meet the spiritual needs of migrant workers.
"I'm very lonely and the radio is my only means of enjoyment, getting news from home and hearing Holy Mass every Sunday," Khan said in a letter thanking Veritas for its daily programs which she said sustain and deepen her Christian life.
Despite the growth of the Internet and social media, thousands of overseas Filipino workers in the Middle East still use radio as a link to their homeland and a way of coping with loneliness, religious restrictions and cultural isolation.
"[Analog] broadcast - shortwave radio - has become a faithful travel partner to seafarers who might not see land for months or a companion to migrant workers who struggle with loneliness," said Sheila Hermida, program producer of the Radio Veritas Asia Filipino Service.
She said the Filipino Service does its best to bring home the truth to its listeners and makes the presence of Christ in their lives seem more alive by telling them that Jesus is accompanying them on their difficult journey and in the challenges that will come their way as migrant workers.
While shortwave giants BBC World Service, Voice of America and Radio Netherlands are shutting down most of their shortwave transmitters after embracing Web streaming technology, Radio Veritas, despite having invested in digital media, is sticking to shortwave to reach out to more migrant workers.
"Our listeners are domestic helpers, construction workers, drivers and seafarers, and most of them don't have access to the Internet," Hermida said.
"[In Saudi Arabia], there are only a few employers who allow [migrant workers] to use cell phones, most of the time they are not allowed to have one."
Shortwave has been hailed as having several advantages.
"While the Internet and cell phones are vulnerable to government interference" shortwave radio is difficult to block "if enough is invested in signal strength and bandwidth," Britain's Guardian newspaper reported.
"It is cheaper than other [platforms] of new media, plus the fact that analog radio is not difficult to use … you can just turn it on, look for the meter-band and you can listen to the program," Hermida said.
She said that with the present crisis in Middle East, Radio Veritas maintains active linkages with government agencies and non-government groups to help disseminate information to migrant workers.
