No matter that 7400 is one of the frequencies reserved at 23-12 UT, to all 85 CIRAF target zones for International Radio for Disaster Relief, as explained here: http://hfcc.org/humanitarian/ But yet to be implemented; no disasters needing radio relief yet? Hardly. Plus/minus 5 kHz channels are also supposed to be kept clear. SMG Vatican serves as placeholder transmitter site for IRDR (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) 11600, Dec 16 at 1401, Denge Kurdistane first day on reactivated `summer` frequency, with an echo, long/short path? S9 but much weaker than 11860 Yemen [non]. Ex-9400 where there is nothing. YL mentions Ankara, etc., mostly talk, but by 1455 music at S6. By 1512, 11600 is S9+10 in Kurdish talk. Ivo Ivanov thought the 14-16 bihour would be via BULGARIA, altho BRB misleadlingly registers all D.K. transmissions with HFCC as KCH = Kishinov, Moldova = Grigoriopol`, Pridnestrovye. However, on Dec 16 he notes for the 15-16 UT hour, both 9400 Bulgaria and 11600 Pridnestrovye; perhaps during incomplete transition. 11600 & 9400, Dec 16 at 1816 check, nothing audible on either, when 7455 is now supposed to be the only D.K. channel, 1600-2000 via France, then 2000-2130 via Pridnestrovye (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) Denge Kurdistan in 1500-1700 time slot 1500-1600 on 9400 SCB and 11600 KCH 1600-1700 on 9400 SCB and 7455 ISS (Ivo Ivanov, 1613 UT Dec 16, HCDX via DXLD) Radyoya Denge Kurdistane, Kurdish program, BRB Ludo Maes FMO brokered. 11600 kHz noted at 0645 UT, Kurdish radioplay like a movie copy, martial soldier fighter sound.

At 1411 recheck, there is an echo, caused by 3 possibilities: 1) long/short path from one site; 2) two sites overlapping with slightly different satellite feeds; 3) deliberately imposed effect on original modulation.

HOW TRUMP CAN BEAT PUTIN AT HIS MEDIA GAME Opinions By Jeffrey Gedmin and Gary Schmitt December 13 https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/how-trump-can-beat-putin-at-his-media-game/2016/12/13/3f31db2a-bf14-11e6-94ac-3d324840106c_story.html ?utm_term=.541356761bb1 Employees of the RT television network wait for the arrival of Russian President Vladimir Putin. (Yuri Kochetkov/Agence France-Presse via Getty Images) [caption] Jeffrey Gedmin is a senior fellow at the Atlantic Council, a senior adviser at Blue Star Strategies consulting firm and former president and chief executive of Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty. Gary Schmitt is co-director of the Marilyn Ware Center for Security Studies at the American Enterprise Institute. Donald Trump clearly views himself as master of the deal. When will the president-elect catch on that Russian President Vladimir Putin has been taking the United States to the cleaners in the media and information game? Putin has engineered a deal so profitable to his interests and so disadvantageous to the United States that it ought to become a business-school case study. In 2005, Moscow decided to rebrand Putin’s Russia by establishing the Kremlin-directed and state-funded television network Russia Today. Its product and intended customer were clear: flattering news and information about Russia for a global audience. Russia Today hired young, attractive on-camera talent from the ranks of unemployed American and British journalists. Such upstart talent thrived at Russia Today, where Bernie Sanders-style rabble-rousing meets a youthful, edgy culture supported by high-end production values. Like any good business, Russia Today showed agility and adapted to market conditions. When network executives discovered that the name was a liability, they changed Russia Today to RT (just as Kentucky Fried Chicken changed its name to KFC around the time popularity of fried foods began to fade). It also became clear that audience size would be driven not by good news about Russia, but bad news about the United States. An emphasis on the woes and hypocrisies of U.S. politics and society would dovetail nicely with Putin’s vision of making Russia great again and delegitimizing the U.S.-led liberal order. Bolstered by substantial resources from the Kremlin’s coffers, RT expanded with Arabic- and Spanish-language services and launched RT UK in 2014. French broadcasts are expected in 2017. There was one more thing RT needed to do to be successful: tilt the playing field to its advantage. RT’s American competitors, taxpayer- funded Voice of America and Radio Liberty, have evolved since the Cold War into multiplatform media companies comprising television, Web, social media and radio. Both provide reliable news and information, and both help ordinary Russians better understand their own country and the United States. And here’s the rub. The Kremlin decided it wouldn’t do to just jail U.S.-sponsored journalists and expel VOA and Radio Liberty. Putin decided on a shrewder approach. First, he disrupted their indigenous network of partner stations. Russian authorities used health and fire inspectors, tax collectors and anti-corruption police to harass VOA and Radio Liberty affiliates and drive up the cost of doing business with the Americans. In short order, Radio Liberty’s local partners, for instance, shrank from several dozen to a handful. Second, the Kremlin blocked the Americans from important airwaves, refusing them access to the Russian television market. Russian regulators have steadfastly rejected their efforts to obtain a license. (The BBC has faced comparable harassment and constraint.) As a result, Russian-sponsored rants about America get airtime in America, while U.S.-underwritten attempts to fairly and honestly inform Russians are massively curtailed. That’s not an uneven playing field; that’s our adversary owning the field and using America’s own liberality to attack U.S. policies and discredit Western values. The new administration needs to push back. Under U.S. law, there is a standing presumption that foreign ownership of broadcast companies or broadcast licenses may exceed 25 or 20 percent, respectively, only if the Federal Communications Commission determines that allowing it is in the public interest. However, while the law has not changed, the FCC has adopted more lenient rules for assessing that interest and indicated that it no longer frowns upon 100 percent foreign ownership. Given the proliferation of broadcast mediums today, it was probably appropriate to widen the licensing aperture. And, of course, the United States’ ethic of free speech inclines us to take a relaxed approach to voices other than our own. But that very principle, if we take it as seriously as we should, ought to make us demand reciprocal treatment abroad. When it comes to much of our foreign policy, Trump has argued that U.S. negotiators have failed miserably. We’ve been made chumps by other countries. Free trade is not necessarily fair trade, or so many now believe. And while one can have doubts about that argument’s economic merits, it has certainly been true enough when it comes to government-sponsored broadcasting. The Kremlin has put hundreds of millions of dollars into its broadcasting and propaganda efforts, and the United States, along with other allies, has provided an open door for it to pursue its illiberal agenda. The least Washington should do is insist that, in exchange for access to U.S. airwaves, the favor be returned. Either the FCC can broaden its “public interest” assessments to include equal access, or Congress can mandate it through amendments to the Communications Act of 1934. Fair play may be more important than ever. Recent reform legislation passed by Congress aims to make U.S. international broadcasting more effective by streamlining bureaucracy. If we resist the temptation to abuse the opportunity — Kremlin-style dissembling and deceit can never be America’s game — and stick to the highest standards of journalistic integrity, we can advance our interests with renewed energy and purpose. With the end of the Cold War, the hope was that the competition of ideas might end as well. Russian revanchism has put it squarely back on the table, and Washington needs once again to take it seriously.

"Broadcasting on the format of EuroNews TV channel will begin, as we expect, on Tuesday," - he said. As reported by "Rosbalt" a source familiar with the situation, the station previously combined with the TV channel Life78. Thus, the agency stressed, "Baltika" will actually sound an application to the channel - Moscow example, where the "Russian news service" broadcasting under the brand name «Life Sound". At the same time, last week some journalists who worked on the "Baltic Sea" and Life78, reported that they were looking for a new job. Radio station "Baltic" has changed the format of a news broadcast in the autumn of 2016 - after the death of the founder of "Baltic Media Group" Oleg Rudnova. Control of the holding company received a head News Media Aram Gabrelyanov. He, in turn, decided to close the Information Agency "BaltInfo" and the newspaper "Change", "Neva time" and "Evening Petersburg". The TV channel "TV 100" was reformatted in Life78 and switched to a news format.

S/on 2030 with Haydn's Trumpet Concerto, station ID and talk in Korean. Fair signal with local noise, Dec 30. Initial broadcasts were in December 2007. The English version of this website is http://eng.nkreform.com/. Frequency details on the site are incorrect! 7510 MOLDOVA. Sedoye Bahar (Voice of Spring) - Grigoriopol. Farsi to Iran at 1920, massed choral item at 1925 to s/off 1929. Still only offers a Thurs/Fri service, a strong signal on Dec 30. 7530 UZBEKISTAN. Stream of Praise Ministries - Tashkent. Cantonese at s/on 2100, then into Mandarin at 2115 till a sudden s/off 2129 with very little fanfare. Fair signal on Dec 30. 17695 ARMENIA. SM Radio International - Gavar. Unfortunately, the 1200 service to Australia on this frequency was a poor signal. I also tried via Mark Fahey's remote SDR outside Sydney and it was about the same signal strength there, too. At this time when the smoothed sunspot numbers are getting quite low, reception on 17 mHz can be notoriously unreliable - one day good, next day poor, even on our summer evenings. I think they may have struck a bad day. 15 mHz MAY have been slightly better. Or perhaps use a transmitter site in Asia. Pity it couldn't be heard well because the program sounded quite entertaining, Dec 25. 73 and best wishes to you all for 2017.

Prompt, who writes as a radio in mp3 format? Or in other formats. (Paul Domnin, Krasnoyarsk, Russia) - Personally, with the help of mobile phones with a voice recorder, a music player (separate from the receiver) with the same function. If you listen to in the forest or in the field with the receiver, where there is no electronic smog. But there is a program on the computer, which I have been using for 10 years. It allows you to record directly to your computer during the online broadcast via the Internet. (Anatoly Degtyarev, Kharkov, Russia) - I Player Transcend MP330 to the line input, I write it. He seems to only create Wav files, but then, if you can handle on your computer (although I'm not special in such problems :)) - in Audio Edit Magic, for example. Previously, it was still in the arsenal player NEXX, but painfully proved buggy, and we parted. (Dmitry Mezin, Kazan, Russia). - I have the same model, even two copies. To handle editing (cutting) using the program GoldWave. Very like. The conversion is performed without cutting fine TAudioConverter program. (Vladimir Kovalenko, Tomsk, Russia). - I Used to record IRIVER T30 - an excellent player, writes in MP3 320 kbps, which is sufficient for any incoming signal. The only thing I would improve in the player - a battery compartment, it AAA and I'm a fan of "standard" AA - but such a player to the line input and the presence of high bitrates (256-320) in the line iriver unfortunately does not exist. Also, not so long ago acquired a professional device Tascam DR-22WL, was taken for other purposes, but paired with the receiver works fine, you can write even in uncompressed PCM, not to mention the mp3. Powered by two AA batteries, making cycles "charge-discharge" a rare work. (Eugene, Minsk, Belarus) mass media ==== SOS signal ------------------ After the death of "Titanic» SOS signal was the only signal of distress. Many believe that the distress signal is SOS Sea descended from the English phrase «Save Our Souls» - «Save our souls." However, it is not. Here is the story of origin of distress signal. International joint-stock company Marconi, which had at the beginning of the twentieth century monopoly on equipment radiotelegraph stations maritime courts of England and Italy, found that all ships with its radio stations must use to transmit a distress signal CQD message, ie the total call signal with the addition of the first letter of the English word danger - danger. The agenda of the International Radiotelegraph Conference, which was convened in Berlin in 1906 with the participation of Russia and 28 more countries, was the issue of establishing a single sea international distress call. Proposal to approve the company Marconi signal CQD as an international distress signal at sea Conference rejected, since this signal can easily be confused with the general call CQ. The representative of the German firm "slab Arco" proposed SOE signal used in the call sign of vessels equipped with radios that firm. In discussing the major drawback of this signal was observed: as the letter E is transmitted in Morse Code by one point, then the reception is weak in terms of interference signals can be distorted and is not accepted. The proposal to replace the letter E on the letter S. The result was a rhythmic signal SOS, which was approved by the International Convention, signed in Berlin on November 3, 1906, as a unified international distress signal at sea. Sailors from different countries began to interpret the value of the letters that make up the SOS signal, various English phrases: Save Our Ship Send Our Succour Swim Or Sink Save Our Souls , etc. From Russian letters SOS was the phrase: save from death. However, after the signing of the International Radiotelegraph Convention, some marine radio operators several years continued to use the signal CQD. In the early days of April 15, 1912 senior radioman dying ocean liner "Titanic" Phillips began to broadcast distress signals and call signs «Titanic»: CQD MGY ... Senior assistant radio operator Bride advised Philipps: - Give Now the SOS, a new signal, and maybe you'll never have to send it. And Phillips began transmitting SOS, which have responded and have come to the aid of many ships. After the death of "Titanic» SOS signal was the only signal of distress. But it happened that the distress signal is transmitted has not been adopted as a result of interference from other power stations. In this regard, the International Radiotelegraph Convention in 1927 established a single international frequency for the transmission of maritime distress signals to 500 kHz (600 meters, respectively, wave) and for reception at that frequency without interference all transfers that are not signals of distress or safety, in the range of 500 plus / minus 15 kHz decided to ban. The same convention established a special distress signal for radio stations, ships and aircraft. the alarm sounds in Russian: "Mayday" (has a value of "help me" in French) and is transmitted by ship stations on 2182 kHz. In addition, the International Convention of 1927 established the so-called moment of silence, from the fifteenth to the eighteenth, and of the forty-fifth to forty-eighth minute of every hour, all transmissions are prohibited in the marine radio bands, except for distress, safety and urgency. These moments are meant to monitor the international distress frequency. The first minutes of the dead were first heard on the air from the ship "Matthews" in 1898. The ship hit a floating lighthouse near Dover. But only 8 years later (1906) became an international signal. (R. Malinin «Radio», №2, 1971, p. 32).
