Ā Hello friends,
This week’s program (403) features Ā«shop newsĀ»: one story about shortwave broadcasting (domestic, but DXers will receive it internationally), and one about the shutdown of most of the Voice of America.
The first is a text item from Radio New Zealand about Papua New Guinea’s decision to restore its domestic shortwave broadcasting service, to cover all of that country’s remote areas. (I hope they can also find inexpensive but good shortwave receivers for this audience. Many of the cheap shortwave radios these days, generally made in China, are substandard.)
The second story is from Deutsche Welle, explaining why the shutdown of VOA is especially bad for audiences in Turkey, where the domestic media are under increased control. It is now up to DW and BBC to provide Turkish-language news from outside.
The situation with US international broadcasting is fluid. For VOA, the news is mostly bad. But RFE/RL will receive emergency funding from the EU. I try to keep up with all these events at kaedotcom.bsky.social, which I think you can access even if you don’t have a Bluesky account.
A video of last week’s Shortwave Radiogram (program 344) is provided by Scott in Ontario (Wednesday 1330 UTC). The audio archive is maintained by Mark in the UK. H0b0_Radio in Washington offers an IQ recording. Analysis is provided by Roger in Germany.
