BBC New schedule with reduced
shortwave transmissions begins on World Service on 1
April 2013
The
World Service English global schedule will be
simplified with fewer regional variations from
Sunday 31 March 2013 and shortwave Arabic broadcasts
will cease.
The reductions to shortwave
services were announced in October
2012 as part of the UK government’s
2010 spending review. BBC World
Service on FM and online and on
television will not be affected and
no language services are closing.
Shortwave and medium wave
transmissions in English will be
reduced to a minimum of 6 hours in
total each day. This will generally
be two periods of between 2 and 4
hours each, usually at peak
listening times in the morning and
evening to help minimise disruption.
The changes will have less impact in
regions where World Service is
increasingly accessed via partner
stations or online and in countries
where FM is widely available.
Steve Titherington, Senior
Commissioning Editor for BBC World
Service, said: “We know that
increasing numbers of people are
accessing World Service on FM,
online, and television. For those
who can’t access these platforms,
we’ve tried to ensure that they will
continue to hear to the best the
World Service has to offer at times
of the day when they are most likely
to tune in.”
"As part of the new schedule we
will endeavour to have a mixture of
news, current affairs and a mix of
programmes covering the arts,
science and human interest stories."
says Titherington.
A new programme, The Newsroom,
will replace World Briefing. Outlook
will be extended to an hour-long
format and offer a new approach to
covering arts, music and humanities
following the closure of The Strand.
Every Friday, The 5th Floor will run
in the prominent Outlook time slot
offering a review of the pick of the
BBC’s 27 language services
programing - in English.
The estimated loss of listeners
to Global English on shortwave will
be around 1.5m listeners, equivalent
to 1.3% of the total Global News
English audience on any platform.
BBC Arabic audiences are
estimated to reduce by 800,000 as a
result of the closure of shortwave
broadcasts.
In the Arabic speaking world, the
World Service broadcasts on a
network of FM relays, a 24-hour
television channel and the
bbcarabic.com website. Shortwave
services to Sudan are not affected
as the shortwave service is
currently the most viable method of
broadcasting to this large region.

HAM RADIO 2013 ---> The 38th International Exibition
for Radio Amateurs -
Europe's premiere gathering for amateur radio
enthusiasts - will take place
on 28-30 June at Friedrichshafen (www.hamradio-friedrichshafen.de).

commercial exhibitors, as well
as many lectures and presentations. Ham Radio 2013 will
be combined with
the 64th Bodensee Convention organized by the
Deutscher Amateur Radio Club.
NORTH KOREA ---> Rick, K6VVA has posted Info Update
#2 to the "P5 CW Only &
IOTA AS-197 Project" [425DXN 1105 and 1106] he has
been working on for
seven years now. "Recent 'circumstances' in P5 during
the last several
months have made this Project even more challenging,
for obvious reasons",
he says, "Yet a new alternative route to potential
success has also
materialized, and I decided to unleash the full
'long term' plan, which has
been to activate ALL of the four P5 IOTA Designators
(AS-195, AS-196,
AS-197 and AS-198)".
Over the past 18 months, Rick has been part of a discussion
group (N7NG,
G3SXW, ON4UN, ON4WW, W6SJ, ST2AR/S53R and others
all with considerable
DXpedition and/or DX QTH operating experience) and
spent "considerable time
in analyzing and discussing the observed cause
and effect relationship
between the operating 'styles' (and errors) of
many major DXpedition
operators, which always result in the same predictable
anti-social
behaviors and chaos occurring in all pileups". Rick
plans to produce a web
viewable video soon, "summarizing my perspective of
the reality of things,
which will also be the basis for any P5 operations
and Pileup Management".

QSL OX3XR ---> OZ3PZ is no longer the QSL

go unanswered, but
electronic confirmations will still be available

available, and QSOs are
confirmed only via LoTW and eQSL.

presupposto che NON tutti hanno a disposizione

voluto dare a tutti la possibilità di partecipare a

per cui anche con altre radio sarà sufficiente
abbassare la potenza fino ad un'uscita di 5
watts-out (lettura strumentale radio o wattmetro);
evitiamo però di fare cose "strane", 5 watts sono 5
watts... non sono ne 50 e neppure 100...ok?!
