1,5 W, 6240 KHZ, 3 LUGLIO 1979, per la prima volta in Italia una emittente
privata e indipendente, in onde corte, diffonde il suo segnale nell'etere: è
la "COMPAGNIA ITALIANA DI RADIODIFFUSIONE"; questo nome fu presto abbandonato
per utilizzare quello inglese di ITALIAN BROADCASTING CORPORATION – IBC RADIO.
E' veramente emozionante ricordare le vicissitudini, i problemi, i successi e
le traversie di quello che da gioco, si trasformò in una iniziativa di grandi
consensi.
IBC iniziò le proprie trasmissioni con un trasmettitore surplus militare di 10
W di potenza, ma che effettivamente erogava poco più di 1 W, con la sua
antenna telescopica, timidamente svettante attraverso l’abbaino di una
soffitta, in una città del centro Italia. Dopo le prime prove comunque, grazie
anche alla collaborazione di amici tecnici dilettanti, fu realizzato un
piccolo trasmettitore transistorizzato da 2 W, che a sua volta pilotava uno
stadio finale di "ben" 10 W, il tutto camuffato in una comune scatola da
scarpe (immagine del trasmettitore)

1,5 W, 6240 KHZ, 3. Juli 1979: Zum ersten Mal gab es in Italien eine private

und unabhängige Rundfunkstation, die ihre Signale über Kurzwelle verbreitete.
Es ist die "ITALIENISCHE GESELLSCHAFT FÜR RUNDFUNKVERBREITUNG".
D
ieser Name wurde bald aufgegeben und durch die englische Bezeichnung

"ITALIAN BROADCASTING CORPORATION - IBC RADIO" ersetzt ..
Es ist wirklich spannend, sich an das Wechselspiel von Problemen, Erfolgen und

Schwierigkeiten zu erinnern, das sich nun in eine Initiative mit großer Zustimmung wandelte.
IBC begann seine Übertragungen mit einem militärischen SURPLUS-Sender von

10 W Leistung, der aber effektiv eigentlich nur etwas mehr als 1 W abstrahlte.

Der Sender war mit einer vertikalen Teleskopantenne verbunden, die etwas

unscheinbar aus dem Fenster einer Dachmansarde ragte - in einer Stadt in Mittel-Italien.
Nach den ersten Tests wurde dank der Zusammenarbeit von technisch versierten

Funk-Amateur-Freunden ein kleiner transistorisierter Sender von 2 W realisiert, der wiederum

eine End-Stufe von "gut" 10 W ansteuerte. Das ganze Equipment fand seinen Platz in einem

Schuhkarton (Bild des Senders)

(aus dem Internet)
 

Questo, unito ad un dipolo a V-invertito in aperta campagna, fece la fortuna
di IBC sulla famosa frequenza di 6275 kHz, quando alla fine dello stesso anno
della famosa "prima volta", iniziarono le trasmissioni regolari.
Il palinsesto era comunque piuttosto limitato: 30 minuti di trasmissione
settimanale, ogni domenica, ripetuta tre o quattro volte durante il giorno.
Il metodo di preparazione delle trasmissioni era e rimase sempre lo stesso: si
registrava di regola il venerdì notte, in quella famosa soffitta, dove era
allestito uno studio piuttosto artigianale. Si assemblavano le collaborazioni
degli amici sparsi un po’ in tutta Italia, che pervenivano sottoforma di
registrazioni, si pensavano rubriche, si preparava un palinsesto musicale, si
leggeva Play DX : una delle caratteristiche di IBC infatti era sempre stata
quella di aggiornare i propri ascoltatori sul loro hobby preferito,il
radioascolto appunto, e la collaborazione tra il bollettino milanese e
l'emittente fu molto stretta; molti lettori si ricorderanno che l'indirizzo di
IBC era presso la redazione di quel bollettino e che ogni settimana Play DX
veniva letto integralmente nel corso del Programma DX.
Per rimanere nell'ambito dei programmi, sicuramente la rubrica fra le più
attese e seguite ogni week-end era "La posta degli ascoltatori", condotta in
studio da "Saverio Masetti": tutte le lettere trovavano un loro spazio, con
soddisfazione di chi ascoltava ma forse con maggior soddisfazione di IBC che
poteva, in questo modo, informare i propri ascoltatori che le trasmissioni
venivano ascoltate in Australia piuttosto che in Finlandia o chissà dove, che
la rubrica "La storia delle telecomunicazioni" a cura di Fabio Veronese era
piaciuta, che l'intervento di Dario Monferini era stato apprezzato, etc, etc,
Via via che il tempo passava i collaboratori aumentavano, le rubriche si
infittivano, e l'apparato tecnico migliorava. Nel periodo del suo massimo
splendore, se così si può dire, IBC trasmetteva ogni sabato e domenica, su
quattro frequenze contemporaneamente. La frequenza di 11585 kHz divenne il
fiore all'occhiello: 200 W, con una portata veramente "mondiale". Insieme
venne anche l'epoca dello scambio dei programmi; fu così che in Australia sui
41 metri ed in Olanda sui 48 metri, IBC vedeva ripetute le proprie emissioni
per quei paesi, restituendo poi il "piacere" attraverso i propri
trasmettitori.
Sempre così arrivò anche l'indirizzo internazionale, una casella postale in
Olanda, come le maggiori emittenti pirate nord-europee dell'epoca. Le
trasmissioni assunsero carattere decisamente più professionale e si
presentarono anche ad un pubblico non soltanto italiano con emissioni in
Inglese, Francese, Tedesco, Spagnolo, Greco e Persiano. Fiorirono iniziative
come, ad esempio, il Diploma d'ascolto ed IBC Newsletter, quest'ultimo poi
naufragato.
Tutto sembrava andare per il meglio ed IBC era decisamente ascoltata ed
apprezzata.
Sorsero però inevitabili problemi : le spese iniziavano ad essere gravose per
una stazione di carattere hobbistico che lo era, in definitiva, sempre meno.
Basti pensare che i rapporti erano oramai oltre cento la settimana, e che
tutti dovevano essere confermati con QSL; le spese per i trasmettitori erano
sempre più ingenti, come quelle per i nastri, l'elettricità, i Diplomi, i
dipoli....
Insomma la gestione era divenuta veramente difficile: fu così che le
trasmissioni divennero sempre più irregolari,si chiusero e timidamente, un
paio di volte, riaprirono, fino a divenire un semplice ricordo.
Dal 2016 però, dopo oltre 30 anni, IBC ha ripreso a trasmettere in onde corte,
prima a carattere sperimentale ed ora con trasmissioni regolari... buon
ascolto!

Dieser Sender wurde mit einem invertierten V-Dipol in einer ländlichen Gegend *1.) betrieben

und sorgte für den Erfolg von IBC auf dem berühmten Frequenz von 6275 kHz..

Am Ende des gleichen Jahres von dem famosen "erste Mal" begann man mit regelmäßigen Sendungen.
Allerdings war der Sendeplan noch eher begrenzt auf 30 Minuten wöchentlich,

jeden Sonntag, mit  drei- oder viermaligen Wiederholungen während des Tages.
Das Arrangement der Rundfunksendungen war und blieb immer das Gleiche:
Normalerweise fanden die Aufnahmen Freitag Nacht statt, auf diesem berühmten Dachboden,

wo sich ein kleines Heim-Studio befand.

In Zusammenarbeit mit Freunden aus ganz Italien, welche Audio-Aufnahmen schickten,

wurde ein Programm ersonnen, eine Playlist ausgewählt und es wurde aus "Play DX" gelesen.

Ein wesentliches Merkmal der IBC war immer, die Hörer auf dem aktuellsten Stand zu halten,

was ihr Lieblings-Hobby betraf: Natürlich das Radiohören. Dadurch war die Zusammenarbeit

zwischen der Hobbyzeitschrift aus Mailand und dem IBC sehr eng.
Viele Leser werden sich sicherlich erinnern, dass Empfangsberichte an IBC über die Adresse

dieses Nachrichten-Blattes *2.) vermittelt wurden und dass jede Woche "Play DX" vollständig

im Verlauf des DX-Programm vorgelesen wurde.
Wenn man jetzt über die Programme spricht war ohne Zweifel, an jedem Wochenende,

eines der meistgehörten Programme die Sendung mit "Post von den Zuhörern",  unter Leitung von

.....alias "Saverio Masetti". All die vielen Briefe wurden irgendwie mit in das Programm einbezogen
Andererseits gab es natürlich auch eine vielleicht noch größere Genugtuung bei der IBC,

wenn man auf diese Weise erfuhr, das die Sendungen sowohl in Australien, oder in Finnland,

oder wo auch immer, gehört werden konnten und das die Rubrik

"Die Geschichte der Telekommunikation" von Fabio Veronese den Hörern gefallen hat,

dass Intervention von Dario Monferini geschätzt worden sind, etc, etc.
Im Laufe der Zeit gab es mehr Mitarbeiter, mehr Programme und bessere Übertragungstechnik.
In der Zeit mit dem maximalen Glanz, wenn man es so sagen kann, sendete IBC gleichzeitig

auf 4 Frequenzen *3.) jeden Samstag und Sonntag. Die 11.585 kHz wurde das Flaggschiff: 200 W, *4.)

mit einem wirklich "globalen" Reichweite. Es war auch die Ära von Austauschprogrammen;

so kam es, dass man in Australien *5.) auf 41 Meter und auf 48 Meter von den Niederlanden *6.) aus

gehört werden konnte. Im Gegenzug übertrug die IBC auch ausländische Radioprogramme.
Auf diese Weise bekam IBC die internationale Adresse, eine P.O.Box in den Niederlanden,
*7.)

so wie sie auch alle bedeutenden nord-europäischen Piratensender in dieser Epoche hatten.
Die Programme bekamen einen immer größeren professionellen Charakter und man wendete

sich nicht mehr nur an ein italienisch sprechendes Publikum. Für eine internationale Hörerschaft

gab es nun Sendungen in Englisch, Französisch, Deutsch, Spanisch, Griechisch und Persisch (Farsi).
Alles schien gut zu gehen und IBC wurde zweifellos gehört und geschätzt.


Aber dann fingen unvermeidliche Probleme an: Die Ausgaben wurden immer belastender

für eine Station, die mit Hobby-Charakter begann. Es wurde immer schwieriger.

 

Wenn man daran denkt, das mehr als einhundert Empfangsberichte jede Woche

eintrafen, und jeder wollte mit einer QSL-Karte bestätigt werden.... Die Kosten für die Sender

wurden immer höher, ebenso die für Magnetbänder, Strom, Diplome, die Antennen.... ....


Kurz gesagt, es wurde immer schwieriger das Ganze zu managen: Die Radio-Sendungen

wurden immer unregelmäßiger und letztlich ganz eingestellt.  Einige Male gab es noch

Wiederaufnahme von Ausstrahlungen, nur um einfach in Erinnerung zu bleiben.

 
Im Jahr 2016, nach mehr als 30 Jahren, hat  IBC wieder mit Rundfunksendungen

auf Kurzwelle begonnen. Zuerst hatten diese einen experimentellem Charakter - nun gibt

es aber wieder regelmäßige Aussendungen ... Guten Empfang!   *8.)  *9.)

Pluto May Have a Liquid Ocean

VOA News
June 22, 2016

Far out, at the edge of our solar system, there's water. A new
study indicates that Pluto appears to still have a liquid ocean
under its icy crust.

Using data from the New Horizons space probe, researchers from
Brown University found that the dwarf planet has been expanding.
If the ocean had "frozen into oblivion" long ago, Pluto would
have shrunk.

"Thanks to the incredible data returned by New Horizons, we were
able to observe tectonic features on Pluto's surface, update our
thermal evolution model with new data and infer that Pluto most
likely has a subsurface ocean today," said Noah Hammond, a
graduate student in Brown's Department of Earth, Environmental
and Planetary Sciences, and the study's lead author.

Spectacular images from New Horizons have changed the impression
of Pluto from a "simple snowball in space" to something more
"exotic," with surface ice composed of water, nitrogen and
methane.

Furthermore, the planet is spiked with mountains that are
hundreds of meters high in contrast to the now famous
"heart-shaped plain." The surface is also far from static, as the
probe revealed sinuous faults "hundreds of kilometers long, as
deep as 4 kilometers."

Those tectonic features, researchers say, point to a strong
possibility of a subsurface ocean.

"What New Horizons showed was that there are extensional tectonic
features, which indicate that Pluto underwent a period of global
expansion," Hammond said. "A subsurface ocean that was slowly
freezing over would cause this kind of expansion."

The researchers added that despite the frigid temperatures so far
from the sun, "there may have been enough heat-producing
radioactive elements within Pluto's rocky core to melt part of
the planet's ice shell."

Then, researchers said, the melted liquid would have likely
refrozen and expanded.

"If Pluto had on ocean that was frozen or in the process of
freezing, extensional tectonics on the surface would result, and
that's what New Horizons saw," the researchers wrote in a news
release.

A gravitational "tug of war" with Pluto's moon Charon could have
caused the faults, but researchers say that dynamic has "long
since wound down."

To determine the state of a potential ocean today, the
researchers used data from New Horizons and came to the
conclusion that a frozen ocean would have caused the planet to
contract.

"We don't see the things on the surface we'd expect if there had
been a global contraction," Hammond said. "So we conclude that
ice II has not formed, and therefore that the ocean hasn't
completely frozen."

Ice II is a more compact form of standard ice, so an ocean of it
would "occupy a smaller volume and lead to a global contraction
on Pluto, rather than an expansion."

The researchers added that it is possible that if the Pluto's ice
shell were less than 260 kilometers thick, an ocean below could
have frozen without causing contraction, but their updated model
indicates the ice shell is over 300 kilometers thick.

"Those exotic ices are actually good insulators," Hammond said.
"They may be helping Pluto from losing more of its heat to space.
That's amazing to me," Hammond said. "The possibility that you
could have vast liquid water ocean habitats so far from the sun
on Pluto — and that the same could also be possible on other
Kuiper belt objects as well — is absolutely incredible."

Capsule Full of Space Station Junk Makes Fiery Re-entry

Associated Press voa voanews.com
June 22, 2016

CAPE CANAVERAL, FLORIDA - A capsule filled with space station
trash bit the cosmic dust Wednesday with a keenly interested
scientific audience.

The cargo carrier broke apart and burned up while re-entering
Earth's atmosphere high above the Pacific. Researchers gathered
information on the breakup from sensors it carried, in hopes that
the data will improve future spacecraft.

Built by Virginia-based Orbital ATK, the capsule had been cut
loose from the International Space Station last week. It followed
its own orbit until it was steered into the atmosphere, where it
was consumed by the heat of re-entry.

The vessel had been the scene of another fiery experiment shortly
after it left the space station. A large blaze deliberately was
ignited in it so NASA could study the spread of flames in
weightlessness. Like the re-entry test, this, too, was aimed at
enhancing spacecraft safety.

The so-called "Cygnus" vessel was named the S.S. Rick Husband,
after the commander of the doomed space shuttle Columbia. Husband
and six other astronauts were killed as Columbia broke apart
during re-entry in 2003, the result of launch damage.

NASA is paying Orbital ATK, as well as SpaceX, to stockpile the
space station. SpaceX has another station supply run coming up
next month, while Orbital ATK plans to resume launches from
Wallops Island, Virginia, in August. Orbital ATK temporarily
moved its Cygnus flights to Cape Canaveral, Florida, after its
Antares rocket exploded during liftoff from Wallops Island in
2014.

This latest Cygnus was launched to the space station from Florida
back in March, using another company's rocket. Once the supplies
were unloaded, the capsule was filled with more than 4,000 pounds
of garbage and discarded equipment for disposal. It had delivered
twice that much.

Facebook Founder Takes Low-tech Approach to Security

VOA News
June 22, 2016

While posing for a photo to mark 500 million Instagram users,
Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg inadvertently showed off a
couple of security measures he takes.

Upon close inspection, the photos reveal he has placed layers of
tape over his computer's camera and microphone.

This is a widely recommended move by security experts. Even the
head of the FBI does it.

"This is basic security awareness and security appreciation,"
said online security expert Robert Siciliano in an interview with
ABC News. "Unfortunately there are many remote access Trojan
viruses that can activate and enable a user's webcam without
their knowledge. That same webcam can also pick up room ambient
sounds."

Zuckerberg was recently a victim of hackers, who breached his
Twitter and Pinterest accounts.

Facebook purchased the popular photo sharing service in 2012 for
a reported price tag of $1 billion.

There was much discussion this week about the recent transmission
of a mobile app from KTWR, the Trans World Radio shortwave
station on Guam, to a Digital Radio Mondiale (DRM) receiver in
Thailand. At the receiving end, the app was then transferred via
wifi to nearby mobile devices.
