Therefore, the legendary masts will not be demolished. (Recall that state broadcasting on NE in the Czech Republic was terminated at the end of 2021 - ed.) This was announced at the Innovation Day conference by the general director of the operator, Milos Mastnik. He shared the same information with the mayor of Český Brod and the chairman of the Association of Friends of Liblice, Irena Kuklova. A contract was signed for broadcasting a signal from one of the national commercial radio stations. "Given that the transmitters are part of a critical infrastructure, the owner is seeking financial support from the state to keep this equipment operational in the future. In 2025 or 2026, the transmitter will need a very expensive replacement of mooring ropes," according to the website of the city of Český Brod. Masts Liblice have a height of 355 meters, this is the tallest building in the country. Source: Lupa.cz (https://swling.ru/2023/05/22/vozmozhnoe-vozobnovlenie-veshhanija-na-sv-s-cheshskogo-peredajushhego-centra- liblice/) (https://swling.ru/) - Kari Kallio in the NORDX group reports on this topic: Latest news from reliable sources. Country Radio transmissions on 639 kHz are expected to begin in September. The power level is also being discussed, but it will not be more than 50 kW, but rather even less. The contract is valid until the end of 2026. Contract extensions after this date require the replacement of guy lines on two 355 meter high masts. Officials who have stated that they view the site as critical infrastructure are expected to provide/provide funding for this costly maintenance. Otherwise, it will be the end and, as a precaution, an application for the demolition of the mast will indeed be made. ("Let's talk about the radio" - Telegram) * The world's first medical "Radio that saves lives" was launched. ------------------------------------------------- NextMed Health has launched the world's first AI-based medical radio. It's called Lifesaving Radio. According to surveys conducted in different countries, 90% of surgeons listen to music in the operating room. It makes the whole team more coordinated, says Dr. Sunit Das. "Music affects me in an amazing way, it helps me a lot in working on operations. To the point that the nurses even jokingly say that I seem to be constrained if the music is not playing in the operating room. There is something in it that, without requiring my attention, allows me to feel free and at the same time better concentrate and do exactly what is required. I think that without it, it would be much more difficult for surgeons." In 2011, Stanford physician and scientist Daniel Kraft launched the NextMed Health project to study the impact of technology on human health and medicine. He suggested that AI could take the connection between music and medicine to a new level.

The changes aim to improve the ability to "effectively respond to the changing needs of its audience and deliver high- quality content in the digital age." The press release noted that the project will focus on various key areas, including content development, technical infrastructure and organizational capacity building. British Ambassador to Chisinau Stephen Fisher emphasizes the need to support the work of journalists in the Republic of Moldova "in these difficult times".

Much of the high-power transmitting equipment was custom designed and built by HCJB staff for this shortwave broadcasting powerhouse. AWA member and RF engineer Rich Place, WB2JLR, made multiple trips to Ecuador to work at the HCJB transmitter and he relates his experiences with some of the unique challenges associated with operating a high-power shortwave transmitter at a high, dry elevation, in a remote location near Quito Ecuador.
