World Radio Day Focuses on Trust for 2022

Radio World
By Susan Ashworth
January 28, 2022

This year’s World Radio Day celebrates the trust, accessibility and long-term viability of the radio industry.

Feb. 13, 2022, marks the 11th annual celebration of World Radio Day, which is organized by the United Nations’ UNESCO organization. This year’s theme is “Radio and Trust” in recognition of radio’s standing as one of the most trusted media sources around. Even as various studies reveal a global decline in trust in the internet and social media networks, people continue to see radio as one of the most trustworthy news sources, the organization said.

“Part of people’s trust in radio is due to its low cost and ubiquitous nature,” UNESCO said in a statement about the upcoming World Radio Day. “Despite digitalization being a global tendency, digital access to information is far from being equal with huge differences remaining between regions and between communities.”

Compare that to radio, the organization said, a medium that remains affordable and can be listened to everywhere, even when electricity or connectivity are not reliable. “Radio is thereby one of the most popular means of communications, used by an overwhelming majority of people,” the organization said.

UNESCO suggested in its announcement several themes that can be celebrated on World Radio Day, including trust in radio journalism, the accessibility of radio and the viability of radio stations.

Radio has a key role to play in several areas, UNESCO said, beginning with producing independent and high-quality content, providing information to a diverse group of individuals and working to transform loyal audience engagement into financial stability, especially for small, medium or nonprofit stations.

World Radio Day got its start in 2011 when member states of UNESCO adopted Feb. 13 — the anniversary of the 1946 founding of United Nations Radio — as World Radio Day in an effort to raise greater awareness of the importance of radio, to encourage decision makers to provide access to information via radio and to enhance networking and international cooperation among broadcasters.

Media & Tech - 31/01/2022

Glenn Hauser logs January 30-31, 2022

** AUSTRALIA. 2368.43, Jan 31 at 1618, continuous Greek songs segued, no announcements, not even a ToH R. Symban ID past 1700; still 1748+ via SW Sydney SDR http://sdrvk2ari.hopto.org:8073/?f=2368.43amz10 which I found already tuned to that exact frequency but no one else using it now, steady S4-S5 but noisy; tnx to WOR iog tips from Brian Powell, Sydney who had not heard it before but found it was indeed on the air at 1023; also reported by Kari Kallio, Finland, and Zacharias Liangas, really in Greece, all using nearby remotes. May be sporadic, but certainly running overnight now. Little chance of hearing it direct even if I were DXing pre-sunrise.

Ron Howard also provided news about this Jan 30: ``Noted this unique posting today - https://radio.chobi.net/DX/bbs/?res:5025#5025

"AUSTRALIA: today 30 January 2022 18h50utc, weak but Radio Symban heard with the kiwisdr VK2AAK at Near Forster, New South Wales, AUS. According with the stream: https://radioau.net/symban/ Nico (from France)" Very strange! Ron (Calif. - recovering from a bad fall, but making progress!)`` --- but no frequency from Nico (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 6660 RCUSB, Jan 31 at 0715 UT, CHU pips JBA on 2 x 3330 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA [and non]. 7365, Jan 31 at 1445, S8/9+20 Chinese music and excited talk, CNR1, presumably live simulcast of CCTV New Year celebrations, as warned by Ron Howard were expected on many frequencies around 12-16 UT. Also similar but not sure if // on 9390, huge collision, i.e. jamming RFA Cantonese via Tinian; and 9605, vs VOA Chinese via Philippines.

I also looked for WOOB CNR1 jammers, if not Firedragon, above & below 11 and 13 MHz, but nothing. Have these diminished, or is it just lack of propagation and/or scheduling. I think a lot of them used to close at 1400; but it will take the imposition of DST here to get me up that early (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ETHIOPIA. 7110, Jan 31 at 0418, R. Ethiopia quite blatantly INTRUDING with a big S9+20 signal fading to S7 in an Ethiopian language; nothing on 7140 or 7180 from Eritrea (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MADAGASCAR. 11824.96 approx., Jan 31 at 0424, S4-S7 medical discussion about strokes, as MWV vies with VOHA for the Christian-subjected early audience. I suppose it`s African Pathways Radio, but this broadcast does not appear in WRTH 2022 page 485; in so-called ``winter`` schedule, the only English is at 03-04 on 13760. We are referred to ALASKA for more, but page 462 does not show any `KNLS` programming via Mad! The English at 18-19 on 13670 and 20-21 on 11965 are absent from both. Seasonal nomenclature smax of hemispherism or northern temperatism (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6925 AM, Jan 30 at 2303, pirate music; 2343 ballad, 2346 maybe `When A Man Loves A Woman`. 0024 January 31, S8-S5 of classic rock. 41 posts here say it`s Mix Radio International which started as unID long before by 1751 on 6875, moving to 6925 at 2229: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,92341.0.html and finally went off at 0132 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 517 MCW kHz, Jan 31 at 0721 UT, a second JBA NDB under my strongest `local`, 515 PN Ponca City OK, where I am tuned USB. Tough copy but maybe RN. Fortunately, PN makes long pauses. DXinfocentre roster shows most likely it`s FN, 517, 25 watts at Clinton / Hills, Iowa. Only one dit difference. Previously I had also pulled on 515, OS at the other OSU, in Ohio (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2123 monitoring: Also confirmed Sunday January 30 at 2100 on AM Italia, 1323 kHz, but with QRM into UTwente; usual nearby Noale SDR offline. Tuned in before at 2058 something in English about carbon monoxide detectors, UK phone.

Also confirmed Sunday January 30 at 2330 on WRMI 5950, good direct.

Also confirmed UT Monday January 31 at 0030 on WRMI 7730, VG direct.

Also confirmed UT Monday January 31 at 0230 on WRN N America webcast.

Also confirmed UT Monday January 31 at 0401 on Area 51 via WBCQ 6159.94, S9; preceded by coughing fit at 0358-0401 interrupted by WBCQ ID at 0400 and a different one just before WOR. Per A51 sked http://zappahead.net/#2022-0129-area51 the coughing fit is from W.D.C.D. Radio at 0330. Next:

** U S A. 7780, Jan 31 at 0416, S9+6 of dead air from this WRMI. 0400* is the scheduled closing. I missed all the excitement but WRMI and apparently much of Florida had power failures early Sunday due to frigid weather, as described on disgraced FB; I guess the juice froze in the power lines. Transmitter 14 is the one on 5010 which I was hearing with a poor signal early UT Jan 31:

``WRMI Radio Miami International 16 hrs ·
Regresó la electricidad a la planta transmisora de WRMI en Okeechobee después de un apagón de aproximadamente tres horas y pico durante la noche. Todo está funcionando normalmente otra vez, excepto el transmisor número 14 que necesita algunas reparaciones. Esperamos tenerlo en el aire esta noche si todo va bien. La causa del apagón fue el clima; tuvimos temperaturas debajo de 0 centígrado.

WRMI Radio Miami International 16 hrs · [ago, how precise!]
Power is back on at WRMI -- It has been a brutal night and morning (Jan 30) here at the WRMI transmitter site in Okeechobee. Electrical power was out for about three and a half hours due to an extreme freeze in this area. And when the power returned, we had many problems with computers and one transmitter damaged. At this time everything is working normally again, except that we have a problem with transmitter 14 that we hope to have resolved in time for this evening's transmission.

WRMI Radio Miami International 20 hrs ·
Power is out at WRMI! At approximately 0745 UTC Sunday 30 January, we lost all electrical power at the WRMI transmitter site in Okeechobee, Florida. This is the reason that all transmitters and our Internet stream are off the air. Florida Power & Light is dispatching a team to our site to try to restore power as soon as possible. The power outage is caused by the near-freezing conditions at our site tonight, which is a very unusual situation here in South Central Florida.

Author WRMI Radio Miami International
Gracias Osmany y todos. Ahora la compañía de luz estima que debemos tener electricidad a las 10 de la mañana hora de Miami (1500 UTC), pero eso puede cambiar mientras están haciendo las reparaciones.`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Another follow-up on the WOR iog to my WCLV report; yes, I now recall it had been on 95.5, and I believe originally a commercial classical station before joining the Ideastream empire:

``My father has older reel to reel airchecks of WCLV clearly announcing its frequency as 95.5 MHz back in the older days. I remember growing up in Cleveland falling asleep to the radio on sleep timer tuned to WCLV. The 7-way swap in 2001 saw them picking up the former WAKS in Lorain on 104.9 which is where their signal is found now with very little channel separation from country station WKKY in Geneva. Ideastream added the station to its stable of properties in 2011.

WKSU was the latest acquisition by Ideastream and was announced last year. It has a translator network blanketing most of the northeastern quarter of the state. WCPN would join WKSU and the rest of the network.

Ideastream owns WCPN-FM, WVIZ-TV, WKSU-FM (and translators), and WCLV-FM plus a stake in the “Ohio Channel” television channel it runs in partnership with Ohio Government Telecommunications.

Northeast Ohio is still a shifting media market. Stephen Michael Kellat, Ashtabula, Ohio`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ZAMBIA. 9680, Jan 31 at 0421, American English with Bible story about Jacob and Rachel, S6-S9: I bet it`s V of Hope Africa this early: yes, immediately // 11680 which sounds quite louder but reads slightly less, S5-S8. WRTH 2022 shows both at 0400-0800 for the so-called ``winter`` 2021-2022 season; the Bible is speaking (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Oceanic JBA MW carrier search, Jan 31 at 0719 UT: only 9-kHz ones detected are 846, surely Kiritimati; and surprise 1458: lots of Pacific rim area stations but biggest is 200 kW from somewhere in China; or remnant of 125 kW ethnic R. Lyca from the other London, UK? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 12000, I had not found a DX reference listing the single-letter beacon Z that I heard, but tnx to Ron Howard for this:

``Letter beacon - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Letter_beacon According to D.W. Schimmel, in 1986 the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) released the following HF direction finding results for single letter beacons, all of which indicate locations in the USSR . . . . Z Mukachevo, Ukraine``

Where is Mukachevo? ``Mukachevo is a city located in the valley of the Latorica river in Zakarpattia Oblast (province), in Western Ukraine. Wikipedia`` --- so not in Soviet/Russian occupation zone now; perhaps no coincidence the oblast starts with 3 = Z (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

Highlights of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity
24 - 30 January 2022

Solar activity reached moderate levels due to a long duration M1
flare observed at 29/2332 UTC from Region 2936 (N17, L=116,
class/area Ekc/720 on 30 Jan). Associated with this event was a 10cm
(320 sfu) radio event and assymetric full halo CME, first visible in
LASCO C2 imagery at 29/2336 UTC. Forecaster analysis/WSA Enlil
modeling determined this CME to arrive at Earth late on 01 Feb.
Region 2936 also produced numerous (31) C-class flares. Regions 2939
(S15, L=37, class/area Cso/120 on 30 Jan) and 2940 (N17, L=37,
class/area are unkown due to foreshortening at the east limb) also
produced C-class activity during the period.

No proton events were observed at geosynchronous orbit during the
highlight period.

The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit reached
high levels on 24 Jan due to recurrent CH HSS influences. Normal to
moderate levels were observed on 25-30 Jan.

Geomagnetic field activity reached active levels on 28-29 Jan due to
influences from a positive polarity CH HSS. Quiet to unsettled
levels were observed on 24-27, and 30 Jan.

Forecast of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity
31 January - 26 February 2022

Solar activity is expected to be at very low to low levels, with a
chance for islolated M-class flares on 31 Jan - 05 Feb due to the
flare potential from Region 2936 (N17, L=116, class/area Ekc/720 on
30 Jan). Very low to low levels are expected on 06-26 Feb as Region
2936 rotates to the far side of the disk.

There is a slight chance for a proton event at geosynchronous orbit
while Region 2936 is on the visible disk (31 Jan - 05 Feb). No
proton events are otherwise expected during the outlook period.

The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit is
expected to reach high levels on 03-05 Feb, 12-14 Feb, and 18-20 Feb
all due to influences from recurrent CH HSS activity. Normal to
moderate levels are expected for the remainder of the outlook
period.

Geomagnetic field activity is expected to reach G1-G2
(Minor-Moderate) storm levels on 02 Feb due to the anticipated
arrival of the full halo CME from 29 Jan. Active to G1 levels are
expected on 05 Feb due to influences from a recurrent CH HSS. Active
levels are expected on 06, 10, 18, and 25 Feb all due to recurrent
CH HSS activity. Quiet to unsettled levels are expected on the
remaining days of the period.

Sweden - World Radio Day - Special Program - February 13

Swedish DX Association
By Christer Brunström
January 19, 2022

February 13 every year is World Radio Day, an initiative of the UN and UNESCO. Of course, the Swedish DX Association also wants to be part of the celebration. It will take place with a special broadcast on Sunday, February 13, 2022 according to the following schedule: 12.00-13.00 UTC on 9670 kHz with replay at 16.00-17.00 UTC on 6070 kHz via Channel 292 in Germany.

As usual, there will be interviews with famous people in the Swedish DX world, nice music and various other short features. The program has been compiled by Göran Lindemark.

We hope for a good reception!

Solomon Islands shortwave update

I have been in dialogue with Martin Hadlow who has been the WRTH collaborator for Solomon Islands.

At my request he has been in touch with SIBC and he has just advised:
Have had a response from the SIBC in Honiara.

Their MW transmitter is on and working OK. The problem is with the Japanese manufactured transmitter on shortwave. (I think the one TX runs both 5020 and 9545 frequencies). The SIBC technical team is getting advice from the Japanese manufacturer. The equipment came back on-air briefly a few days ago, but is off again now. They are working as hard as they can to get it fixed.

2 minutes silence by AIR stations

As every year, a 2 minute silence was observed by all stations of AIR (including External Services) to mark the death anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi, Father of the Nation yesterday 30 January 2022 at 11.00 am IST (0530 UTC). The programs in progress were stopped and only blank carrier was on...

** CANADA. 328 MCW kHz, Jan 30 at 0719 UT, dash and YTL, 1000 watt ND beacon at Big Trout Lake, Ontario (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6940 USB, Jan 29 at 2303, surprised to hear a pirate in Dutch, commercials? S7-S8 and surely intracontinental. 2305 jingle as --- something Radio, music. 2312 playing ``Downtown`` by Petula Clark, in English. Then I notice a stronger pirate on 6935, but when back on 6940 at 2318, it`s off. These say it`s Sky Radio: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,92273.0.html and Big Badfish Al quotes this from somewhere: ``Sky Radio is a Dutch commercial radio station playing non-stop Adult Contemporary pop music, owned by Talpa Holding. The target audience is men and women between 25 and 54 years of age. It is programmed according to the AC format`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6935 USB, Jan 29 at 2306, S9+5 hard rock and omodist = overmodulated and distorted, yet does not QRM 6940 Sky Radio as I had hit first on a downtune. 2318 SSTV; 2319 live? DJ still distorted says ``Imagine that``, and ``Alice? Radio``. Drama about Mars lander leads into another song; 2323 another Alice Radio ID. Well, it`s really OUTHOUSE Radio per all these; enunciate! https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,92274.0.html with three noisy SSTV captures, a pierced tongue outstuck, a privy, and a full-bearded guy (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960, Jan 29 at 2302, no signal from VOT direct. Unknown if it might have come on later. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2123 monitoring: confirmed UT Sunday January 30 at 0053 the 0030 on WRMI 7730, S9+12 into Knoxville SDR.

Also confirmed starting at 0445 UT Sun Jan 30 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO, S9+15 into nearby SDR but with multi-pitched very fast robotic CW QRM -- must be another 160m A1 contest encroaching on this A3 broadcast.

Also confirmed Sunday January 30 at 1350 the 1330 on WMRI Europe, via Channel 292 Germany 9670, S9+20 into UTwente reading +7 Hz, modulation surges up and down a bit, but receiving artifact? Also checked Carlow, Ireland SDR at 1355, S7-S9 and not surging, +6 Hz carrier offset. Both have lite ACI from music on 9665, presumably CRI Russian via x-site rather than Korea North. I happened to awaken an hour earlier than I would have preferred. Not knowing this, tnx also to Alan Roe, Teddington UK: ``WOR 2123 confirmed on WMRI Europe Sun 1330 UT on 9670``. Where is Teddington? ``a suburb in south-west London in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames. In 2021, Teddington was named as the best place to live in London by The Sunday Times. Historically in Middlesex, Teddington is situated on a long meander of the Thames between Hampton Wick and Strawberry Hill, Twickenham. Wikipedia`` Next:

** U S A. 5850, UT Sun Jan 30 at 0101, excellent classical music show `Encore` has started on this WRMI; while `Texas Radio Shortwave` had started on 5950 this week to play 14 songs from SXSW festival - but I have to prioritize classical. Beyond me why TRSW would choose a time up against not only Encore but The Giant Jukebox, and TOUTA, the Saturday evening music-glut hour (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. (5085), UT Sun Jan 30 at 0047, `Theater Organ Under the Arch` is already underway on WTWW-2 webcast. Must have started way earlier than usual? Since it`s chopped off without any formal closing at 0059 for Bible verse, CQ, WTWW canned ID treating our national anthem as a produxion jingle, and then a ham radio show. Something`s always loco at Lebanon (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Prompted by announcements preceding and following `Weekend Radio`, webcast at 0300 & 0400 UT January 30: classical WCLV Cleveland OH will soon be changing from 104.9 to 90.3; this is because of a merger of sorts with WKSU at Kent State, and realigning those stations; some years ago WCLV lost its original better frequency, I believe it was 90.3, and had to move to 104.9 where the power can be only 6 kW ERP. 90.3 has been occupied by another Ideastream station, 47 kW, WCPN with NPR news/talk programming, and WCLV banished to HD2 on that frequency. WKSU originates on 89.7.

>From a detailed press release at https://www.ideastream.org/about/press-releases/ideastream-public-media-and-wksu-public-radio-to-enter-into-public-service-operating-agreement

``Between January 1 and April 1, 2022, the following changes are expected to take place:

WKSU will become the region’s NPR news and information station, with repeater stations in Ashland, Mansfield, New Philadelphia, Norwalk, Thompson and Wooster continuing to serve their local markets. Ideastream Public Media will reformat 104.9 FM to serve an additional repeater station for WKSU programming, bolstering coverage in the Cleveland area. The call letters associated with 104.9 FM will change from WCLV to WCPN.

Those who love the classical programming provided by WCLV at 104.9 FM will have access to that programming at the new WCLV at 90.3 FM. There, they can continue to enjoy locally hosted performances by local artists and ensembles, including The Cleveland Orchestra, Apollo’s Fire and Lés Delices, along with student and faculty ensembles from the Cleveland Institute of Music, Oberlin Conservatory, Baldwin Wallace Conservatory and Cleveland State University. Reflecting the intent to serve its new expanded coverage area, 90.3 FM programming will spotlight more performances by musicians in Akron and Kent as well...`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 12000- CW, Jan 30 at 1552, letter Z sent over and over, JBA fading in and out; unsure if some other letter or number interspersed. First time noted despite bandscanning across here every day. One of those Russian one-letter beacons? I have not deliberately sought any of them out. Other letters on other frequencies, but not Z, have been logged by Harold Frodge, MARE Tipsheet. They are never on exact even frequencies. My Z was slightly on the minus side but too weak to measure (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

Wolfgang Bueschel: Cuba observations

CUBA RHC Bauta in English checked today Sunday Jan 30 at 07.26 UT,

6060even kHz exact fq, and much clean audio, no buzz at all today to state, S=9 noted in eastern states like NY, NJ, MA, also \\ at

9699.996 kHz channel in 31 meterband, also from Bauta site (ex6145/6165 kHz in B20 season), much clean audio too at 07.28 UT.)

But on western US tate parts CA / WA, or Alberta-CAN, Masset BC-CAN the Cuban and Florida signals much poor and tiny this Sunday, only S=3 to S=6.

The antenna in Masset BC province pointed to East Asia ? The Japanese Nikkei R1 Nagara signal on 6055 kHz arrived with S=9+15dB instead, path over Alaska and the Pacific at 07.40 UT.

When tuned-in and checked again both RHCuba Bauta signals at about 08.18 UT, heard RHC in Esperanto language in progress, the half hour program only on Sundays at 08.00 and 08.30 UT,

S=9+10dB again noted in Rochester, NY state, and \\ 9699.996 kHz - Bauta in 31 mb - same strength too - and surprise, surprise an extra treat for the North America and Europe listener of the Bauta transmissions: empty signal carriers appeared still on air on both 6060 and 9700v, between 08.30 UT - and 22 minutes longer, until switch-off exact at 08.52:30 UT much late - ended the sleep of the RadioCuba local Bauta technician.
