Radiopassioni on-air: i post si leggono sulle onde corte di IBC !

Radiopassioni non viene più aggiornato molto frequentemente - è un periodo in
cui purtroppo non mi è facile trovare abbastanza tempo - ma in compenso i suoi
contenuti trovano nuove piattaforme di distribuzione! Grazie a IBC Italian
Broadcasting Corporation ( http://ibcradio.webs.com/
), una selezione dei miei
post viene ora diffusa in modalità digitale attraverso le onde corte
analogiche, utilizzando le codifiche radioamatoriali MFSK32 e Olivia 16-500.
La trasmissione ha luogo ogni mercoledì nello slot dalle 20 alle 22 UTC che
IBC si è assicurata sulla frequenza europea di 6070 kHz, dalla Germania. La
prima trasmissione ha avuto luogo ieri, 8 giugno, ma lo spazio di IBC Digital
dovrebbe essere regolare, tra le 20:30 e le 21 UTC. Radiopassoni condivide la
fascia testuale del programma IBC con "DX News DX Italia". Le due modalità di
trasmissione si possono decodificare facilmente utilizzando il software
cross-platform FlDigi ( http://www.w1hkj.com/
) e a differenza di quanto
avviene normalmente con questo tipo di emissioni non occorre avere un
ricevitore in grado di ricevere trasmissioni in CW o in banda laterale. In
questo caso la banda-base del segnale digitale viene infatti diffusa in
modulazione d'ampiezza, generando l'audio che serve ad alimentare l'ingresso
del computer utilizzato per FlDigi.
D'accordo con la redazione di IBC, Radiopassioni in futuro andrà in onda anche
con una programmazione audio. Sto pensando a come produrre questa nuova veste
di RP, per il quale sto da tempo meditando una uscita on-air o podcast. La
trasmissione verrà inserita nella programmazione IBC in onda, oltre che sul
relay di 6070, sulle frequenze proprie di 3930 e 6970USB che IBC impegna tutti
i martedì e i giovedì tra le 18 e le 21 UTC.
Lasciatemi dire che sono molto contento che Radiopassioni possa essere
associato a una stazione "non autorizzata" (in realtà i 6070 del relay sono
regolarissimi) che ha fatto la storia delle trasmissioni hobbystiche in
Italia. IBC oltretutto nasce per iniziativa di amici con i quali ho condiviso
decenni di militanza nella DX community italiana. Nel frattempo la radiofonia
in onde corte è cambiata radicalmente, là fuori non ci sono più tutte quelle
stazioni da ascoltare. Ma per un verso o per l'altro l'hobby è ancora
pimpante, anche se tanti broadcaster internazionali e domestici hanno
abbandonato le HF. I veterani si consolano con le onde medie, gli SWL
continuano a seguire le trasmissioni dei radioamatori, la ricezione a lunga
distanza in FM, anche se stagionale, è una inesauribile fonte di emozioni. E
poi c'è tutto il comparto delle trasmissioni civili e militari HF a carattere
utilitario, inclusa la nicchia dei radiofari in LF. Insomma, tante occasioni
di sperimentazione della ricezione on-air e tante, tantissime storie da
raccontare su una radiofonia ormai indissolubilmente integrata con Internet e
aperta a nuove modalità digitali.
Una frequenza per Expressa: il giovane radiocronista ucciso dalla trucha
simbolo della riforma delle Tlc in El Salvador.
La storia del giovane salvadoreño Nicolás Humberto García sembra scaturire dal
genio letterario di un Bolaño ma è tragicamente vera per la famiglia del
23enne ucciso con brutale ferocia dalla Mara Salvatrucha e per la piccola
comunità del rione di Tacuba, El Salvador, che rappresentava il pubblico
"radiofonico" di Nicolás. Al caso dello sfortunato radio-maker ha dato risalto
internazionale ( https://cpj.org/2016/03/director-of-community-radio-station-murdered-in-el.php

 ) il CPJ, la ong che cerca di sensibilizzare l'opinione
pubblica internazionale sui delitti che colpiscono in prima persona i
giornalisti e i corrispondenti, in modo particolare gli omicidi a sfondo
politico, direttamente connessi al potere o alla criminalità organizzata.
Delitti, aggiungo io, che quasi sempre rimangono impuniti anche quando
esecutori e mandanti sono perfettamente noti. La morte di García risale al 17
marzo e si inserisce in un contesto di aspra discussione, anche parlamentare,
sulle norme che in Salvador regolano l'accesso alle frequenze radio-
televisive. La giovane vittima lavorava per una stazione radio denominata
"Expressa, Voces al aire" basata nella comunità El Carrizal, in un quartiere
chiamato El Jícaro, a Tacuba, piccolo centro nella giungla al confine tra El
Salvador e Guatemala. Non posso dirvi la frequenza di Expressa semplicemente
perché Expressa non ha un frequenza: l'emittente è poco più di un mixer
collegato a un amplificatore e a un sistema di casse collegate da fili
appoggiati sui rami degli alberi. La stampa salvadoreña ha avanzato l'ipotesi
che Nicolás - che lavorava per la sua radio da quando aveva quindici anni -
avesse subito le angherie della trucha che insisteva per raccogliere,
attraverso la radio, informazioni sui movimenti della polizia nella zona. Le
associazioni locali dei media comunitari e per la libertà di stampa, ARPAS (
http://www.arpas.org.sv/
) in testa, hanno respinto queste ipotesi, giudicate
offensive per i familiari di Nicolás. Ma le dinamiche del delitto sembrano
invece confermarle.
La morte di Nicolás è diventato subito un simbolo della lotta per una maggiore
democrazia nell'etere di El Salvador, la cui Corte costituzionale aveva
imposto al Parlamento un urgente intervento sulla normativa in vigore. In
seguito a quella sentenza, organismi come la RedCo
( http://www.diariocolatino.com/redco-solicita-reformas-a-la-ley-de-telecomunicaciones/

 ), la Red por el Derecho a la Comunicación, appoggiata
dalla deputata del Frente Farabundo Martí para la Liberación Nacional (FMLN),
Jacqueline Rivera, avevano chiesto che il governo promuovesse una riforma
favorevole alle emittenti comunitarie. Per dare a entità come Radio Expressa
la possibilità di trasmettere per davvero. Alla fine di marzo, Nicolás ha
avuto il suo postumo riconoscimento: i deputati salvadoreñi hanno raggiunto un
accordo ( http://www.elsalvador.com/articulo/nacional/diputados-logran-acuerdo-reforma-ley-telecomunicaciones-106061

 ) che modificherà la legge delle
telecomunicazioni introducendo, accanto al meccanismo delle aste riservate
alle imprese radiotelevisive commerciali che intendono aggiudicarsi una
frequenza su cui trasmettere, anche quello del concorso pubblico, che
assegnerà liberamente una quota di frequenze a emittenti comunitarie, non a
scopo di lucro (che dovranno limitare la loro potenza trasmissiva e impegnarsi
a non "rivendere" le loro autorizzazioni). Adesso solo il Parlamento che potrà
scrivere la parola fine in fondo alla storia. La proposta di riforma non è
priva di oppositori, a incominciare dalle società telefoniche che temono
conseguenze sul numero di frequenze a loro disposizione.

Latest Shortwave News:

IBB Iranawila transmitting site closed
Radio Publique Africaine clandestine station starts broadcasts
Radio Republik Indonesia to increase power of broadcasts
VOA Burmese correction
 

 

 


IBB Iranawila transmitting site closed

The IBB transmitter site in Iranawila, Sri Lanka has been closed down as of the 6th of June 2016. The site which only opened in 1999 was used to broadcast Radio Liberty, Radio Free Asia, VOA, Radio Mashaal and Radio Farda for around 47 hours of programming per day in
the A16 season. The reason for the closure is the cost to run the station and the fact that 1/4 of a million bolts on the antenna systems need to be replaced. The latest annual report from BBG/IBB suggested that the Kuwait transmitter site would be expanded at the expense of other
sites due to the low cost of electricity in the Arab state.
Glenn Hauser from DX Listening Digest and World of Radio who provided this news also has mentioned that a rumour is that one of the two IBB sites in Germany will also close this year - either Biblis or Lampertheim.
Transmissions from Iranawila have be moved to other IBB stations in Thailand, Germany, Kuwait, the Philippines and the Northern Mariana Islands. Some transmissions have also been moved to Woofferton, UK and Armenia, presumably via Babcock.

 


Radio Publique Africaine clandestine station starts broadcasts

A clandestine station aimed at Burundi broadcasting in local languages and French has started daily from 1800-1900UTC on 15480kHz. Radio Publique Africaine was previously broadcast on FM in the country but was closed down in the wake of an attempted coup in May 2015.
The broadcast is from the Issoudun transmitter in France.
 

 


Radio Republik Indonesia to increase power of broadcasts

Radio Republik Indonesia will increase transmitter power of its stations located in remote and border areas. According to the RRI director of new technologies and media this is to “strengthen nationalism”. The German service of Voice of Indonesia reported that RRI
will start by increasing the power of one station in West-Kalimantan province. From 5kW to 10kW in 2017. This could be RRI Palangkaraya which broadcasts on 3325kHz.
 

 


VOA Burmese correction

Last week DigiDX had a news story about VOA Burmese reducing hours on shortwave, however thanks to Kim Andrew Elliott it has been clarified that this story is not correct and was assumed
due to another false story about VOA Bangla re-starting on shortwave. VOA Burmese continues on its normal A16 schedule and VOA Bangla in the Bengali language will still only be on 1575kHz
MW from Thailand.



Upcoming relays and special broadcasts:

Alaska based SWL Paul Walker has a repeat of his latest Classic Experience broadcast via Shortwave Service in Germany this week. The two hour broadcast also features some MFSK32 text (in the 2nd half hour of the broadcast) and an image (in the final half hour).
The schedule is as follows:
6005kHz Friday June 24th 1800-2000
3985kHz Saturday June 25th 0000-0200

Reception reports are only accepted by regular postal mail and $2 is appreciated to cover the costs of the QSL cards and return postage:

We conclude this broadcast with this weeks E-QSL card, sent as an MFSK32 image. The background image is the VOA Iranawila transmitter site. Sorry for the issue on the 15770kHz broadcast via WRMI which went off
air after 6 minutes due to a power cut in Okeechobee, Florida. The image is sent first as a PNG file (89.7KB) and then as a JPEG file (39.9KB). This follows up on Merkouris from Greece’s comments regarding the larger
size of images when the decode has more errors in it.

Merkouris also looked at the Olvia 4-125 text broadcast on the 0530/1830 transmissions on Channel 292 and observed:

“The Olivia mode, which was centered at 1500 Hz, could also be decoded with the center frequency set anywhere between 1351 Hz and 1647 Hz! Please see the second attachment showing again 3 running
instances of fldigi. A closer look at the screenshot reveals that fldigi reports the frequency offset at the bottom of each window: f/o +0.0 Hz when the decoder is centered at 1500 Hz and f/o +125 Hz or -125 Hz for
the other two center frequencies. While the reported by fldigi frequency offsets are not very accurate, it seems that the software can decode the Olivia 4-125 mode even though the decoder's center frequency is
not set on the spot. In fact, the center frequency can be set to the actual frequency plus/minus 145 Hz approximately.”

DigiDX will carry out more tests in Olivia 4-125 and other modes in the coming episodes, including some on WRMI transmissions.

I do not understand the intention of this experiment.
FLDIGI must transmit (in both cases) image informationen with a resolution of 466x266 pixels.
The compressions of the two source images plays (theoretically) no role.
Only at 1: 1 image file transfer (like in EasyPal) a previous file compression makes sense.

Hello and welcome to this experimental episode of DigiDX 17, a weekly review of the latest shortwave and DX news. 

This experimental broadcast includes shortwave news, upcoming digital mode broadcasts, an excerpt from Alan Roe’s music on shortwave listening guide and a test concerning the over-the-air
QSL card.
Please have recording or multiple software open ready.

This broadcast includes the following modes:
1500 Hz - MFSK32          current mode incl. QSL image test
1500 Hz - Olivia 16-500   starts at 07:10 (no RxID)
1950 Hz - MFSK16          starts at 07:20 (RxID)
2350 Hz - Olivia 8-250    starts at 07:50 (no RxID)  

Please note that both Olivia modes will start right after the eQSl image transmission. 
During the image broadcast, you can start two more instances of fldigi for the Olivia modes. Please leave the RxID enabled in the current fldigi window and disable it in the two new
windows. Then set the Olivia modes and centre frequencies.

Now follows this week's image experiment. The QSL card will be transmitted as usual in greyscale, but this time the text colour has been changed to black and the background image covers
only the bottom half of the QSL. So, the top 6 text lines have the maximum contrast with black text on a white background.

Besides, the card is divided vertically in three parts. The text in the left section is sharply anti-aliased, in the middle section is aliased and in the right section is smoothly
anti-aliased. Please send your observations and comments to reports@digidx.uk.

Four New Elements Named on Periodic Table
 


VOA News
June 08, 2016

Chemistry students will now have to work just a little harder.
The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry announced
names for four new elements Wednesday.

Given the atomic numbers 113, 115, 117 and 118, the four new
elements have been named Nihonium (Nh), Moscovium (Mc),
Tennessine (Ts) and Oganesson (Og), respectively. Until now,
they'd been known by the Latin words for their atomic numbers:
ununtrium, ununpentium, ununseptium and ununoctium.

Elements can be named for a mythological concept or character, a
mineral or similar substance, a place or geographical region, a
property of the element, or a scientist.

And, of course, they must end in "-ium," "-ine" or "-on"
depending on the grouping of elements they belong to. IUPAC also
prefers the names translate easily across major languages.

The elements were named by the scientists in the U.S., Japan and
Russia who discovered them. The researchers hailed from the Joint
Institute for Nuclear Research in Dubna, Russia; Oak Ridge
National Laboratory in Tennessee; Vanderbilt University in
Tennessee; Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California;
and the RIKEN Nishina Center for Accelerator Based Science in
Japan.

So, Moscovium is named after Moscow; Tennessine is named after
the U.S. state where Oak Ridge and Vanderbilt University are
located; Nihon is one way of saying "Japan" in Japanese;
Oganesson is named after the 83-year-old Russian scientist Yuri
Oganessian. Oganesson is only the second element to be named
after a living scientist.

Tennessee is the second U.S. state to be recognized with an
element; California was the first.

The new names will now undergo a five-month public review to
allow for any potential objections.

In the meantime, the hunt for heavier elements, and the first
entry of the eighth row of the periodic table, continues.

From Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty:

Russia Rolls Out Jet To Challenge Boeing, Airbus

June 08, 2016

The Russian corporation Irkut has rolled out its new medium-haul
airliner as the country aims to challenge commercial
plane-industry leaders Boeing and Airbus.

The single-aisle MC-21, designed for up to 211 seats, was
introduced to the public on June 8 at the plant in the Siberian
city of Irkutsk.

"I am sure that the MC-21 airliner will take up its rightful
place in the world market," Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev said
at the unveiling. "Russia must remain in the top league of
aviation producers."

The model is expected to replace the Soviet-era Tupolev Tu-154
and make their first test flights by the end of the year or in
early 2017.

With a range of nearly 6,400 kilometers, the MC-21 will take on
Boeing's 737 and Airbus's A320 series.

From the VOA Russian Service ...

В США отмечен рекордный конкурс среди желающих полететь в космос

ВАШИНГТОН - По данным НАСА, на программу подготовки астронавтов
2017 года подано рекордное количество заявок –18,300.
Космическому агентству потребуется полтора года, чтобы по
результатам тестирования скомплектовать группу из 14 человек.
Судя по конкурсу, попасть в космический отряд будет в 65 раз
сложнее, чем в число студентов Гарварда.

Несмотря на то, что полеты на орбиту стали сегодня практически
рутиной, заветная мечта стать космонавтом по-прежнему бередит умы
современников. Тем более, что на первоначальном этапе все
довольно просто: достаточно подать анкету в соответствующую
службу NASA. Другой вопрос – что именно вы укажете в своей
анкете. Как насчет диплома инженера, биолога, компьютерщика или
математика? Или, скажем, имеется ли у вас тысяча часов налета на
реактивных самолетах? Кроме обязательных тестов на
профессиональную и физическую подготовку, NASA также обращает
внимание на определенные личностные характеристики.

«Нас интересуют лидерские качества, умение работать в команде и
коммуникабельность. Эти характеристики, я уверена, будут не
лишними и для многих других профессий», – говорит Энн Роумер,
менеджер по отбору астронавтов, NASA. ...

Astronauts Get First Look Inside Space Station's New Inflatable
Module

Reuters via voanews.com
June 06, 2016

CAPE CANAVERAL, FLORIDA - Astronauts aboard the International
Space Station on Monday floated inside an experimental inflatable
module that will test a less expensive and potentially safer
option for housing crews during long stays in space, NASA said.

Station flight engineers Jeff Williams and Oleg Skripochka opened
the hatch to the Bigelow Expandable Activity Module, or BEAM, at
4:47 a.m. EDT (0847 GMT) Monday.

Designed and built by privately-owned Bigelow Aerospace, BEAM is
the first inflatable habitat to be tested with astronauts in
space. The Las Vegas-based firm previously flew two unmanned
prototypes.

BEAM was flown to the space station aboard a SpaceX Dragon cargo
ship in April and inflated to the size of small bedroom on May
28. It is scheduled to remain attached to the station, a $100
billion research laboratory that flies about 250 miles (400 km)
above Earth, for two years.

Wearing face masks and headlamps, Williams and Skripochka floated
inside the darkened module for the first time to collect air
samples for analysis and retrieve engineering data from BEAM's
inflation.

Williams told flight controllers the module looked "pristine,"
mission commentator Gary Jordan said during a NASA TV broadcast.
Williams also said it was cold inside BEAM, but that there was no
sign of condensation on the walls, Jordan said.

Astronauts will return to BEAM on Tuesday and Wednesday to
install temperature and radiation sensors, as well as instruments
to collect data from any micro-meteoroid or orbital debris
impacts.

BEAM's hatch will remain closed except when astronauts go inside
the module six or seven times per year to retrieve recorded data,
NASA said.

Lightweight inflatables, which are made of layers of fabrics and
a protective outer shield, are far less costly to launch than
traditional metal modules. They may also provide astronauts with
better radiation protection.

"This technology can be used in future designs for a mission to
Mars," Jordan said.

Bigelow Aerospace is aiming to fly inflatable space modules 20
times larger than BEAM that can be leased out to companies and
research organizations.
