Freed, founder of Trans World Radio, an international Christian missionary radio network, died on Sun, Dec 1, 1996 at Cary, North Carolina. He grew up in the Middle East, where his parents were missionaries for 27 years. In 1948 he attended a Youth For Christ Conference, where he heard two Spaniards plead for Christian workers to go to Spain, and he reluctantly went. During his stay in Spain Dr. Freed gained a profound love for the Spanish people. He realized the potential of radio as a missionary tool, and began making plans to set up a station in Tangier, just across the Straits of Gibraltar. Broadcasting originated on February 22, 1954 from a small 2,500 watt station, the Voice of Tangier, with Gospel programs to Spain. This ministry became increasingly effective, but when the Moroccan government nationalized radio in 1959, the ministry moved to Monte Carlo, Monaco, and became known as Trans World Radio. Since then the station has continued to expand and today broadcasts in more than 100 languages from 10 transmitting stations around the world. I had the privilege of meeting Dr. Freed at the dedication of the Swaziland station in 1974, and also at a TWR Banquet at Port Huron, Michigan, a couple of years ago.

Mirkovic said that the station today received a decision passed by the Fed Min for Transport & Communications banning the st's bcs. We are not being jammed; we have been taken off the air. Radio B92 and YU Radio transmitters are also located on Zvezdara [near Belgrade]. The Independent Association of Journalists of Serbia (NUNS) protested today against the state's "unprecedented blockade of the media" and demanded that Aleksandar Tijanic, republican minister of information, issue an official statement on the most recent forms of the clampdown on the free media. Radio B92 editor says station to find alternatives of preparing and distributing information (via the Internet, for example), through leaflets, printed material, live progrs, telephone links with other sts or transmitting parts of progrs on MW - progrs like VoA, DW or RFE. There are only a few independent media left in Yugoslavia now. Radio B92 starts Internet audio service. Radio B92 has had its frequency jammed for the last three days because of its coverage of large anti-government demonstrations in Belgrade. The range of the frequency has been reduced by 60 per cent. In addition to our regular Internet sces we are now launching RealAudio bcs in English & Serbian. We wish to inform as many people as possible about current efforts to bring about democracy and freedom in Belgrade and Yugoslavia. You can read our news on the following Internet site: http://www.siicom.com/odrazb/ Please send your support and contributions to the following address: matic@B92.opennet.org Radio B92 issues "emergency newspaper". The largest anti-Milosevic demonstration to date was held in Belgrade today - 200,000 demonstrated in front of the parliament... Radio B92, the best known independent radio st, is being jammed and can no longer be received in Belgrade. The authorities banned bcs from the station. The VoA, DW, and RFE now want to bc B92's progrs. Radio B92 now communicates via the Internet, even though the station itself remains silent. For those who want to send faxes, here is the address of [President] Milosevic's office: Belgrade 381-11-684-679. Those who want to directly click onto B92 should sent their mail to the following address: beograd@siicom.com. In a secret printing shop, Radio B92 has today started to issue an emergency newspaper. A student organization takes care of distribution. Milosevic is reacting increasingly nervously. So far he has had 50 opposition members arrested. The Federal Communications Inspectorate yesterday evening stopped the broadcast of Ozon radio in Cacak [central Serbia, one of the remaining handful free radio stations in Serbia]. Over 50,000 residents of Belgrade, who have been protesting against the annulment of local election results for eight days, pelted the state TV building with eggs this afternoon. The International Federation of Journalists [IFJ] has called on the authorities in Serbia and the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia [FRY] to "bring an end to the intimidation of and interference in the work of the independent media". Addressing several thousand Kragujevac citizens who again gathered in the city centre today to protest against the annulment of the results of the second round of elections, Trnavcevic said that "Milosevic's autocratic regime must fall" . "He is guilty for the war, the sanctions, the hyperinflation, for the misery and poverty." He urged engineers and technicians working on television not to transmit lies churned out by politically correct journalists. Serbian opposition radio in Cacak broadcasting again. This decision was taken after Radio Ozon obtained the support of about 7,000 citizens of Cacak who attended a rally in the town centre. Radio Ozon has also continued to rebroadcast news bulletins from B92. Montenegro state TV airing foreign news on Serbia. During the prime time evening news bulletin, instead of the usual Tanjug [news agency] reports, the television broadcast a three-minute report on Belgrade demonstrations.

So a duration of 6 hrs 36 mins. The EVA lasted longer for Korzun wished to accomplish all what had to be done and there also was a problem with something which bungled loose. Before return they restored the connection of the radio- amateurantenne for the 145 mc. Probably this antenne had been disconnected by accident during the 1st EVA. They connected the antenna again and while they were flying over Chile and Brasil they asked John Blaha to listen out on the 145.800 mc to check whether the antenne was working or not. There was no traffic on that frequency in that area and so they had to wait until they came in range of European amateurs. I asked the English radio- amateur Pat Gowen (G3IOR) to give calls on 145.800 mc as soon as MIR would come in range (at abt. 1934UTC). So he did and these signals could be heard by John Blaha while MIR was flying over France. He reported this to the still being on EVA Korzun and Kaleri and congratulated them with their success. Korzun urged John not to transmit, but to listen only. The cosmonauts fully accomplished their tasks: installing the truss construction Rapana at the truss Ferma-3 and the replacement of the Kurs-antenna on the outersurface of the P.Kh.O. (transitionsection). John Blaha who stayed inside the complex took care of the communications and executed commands given to him by TsUP. He gave the cosmonauts all possible moral and technical help. The cosmonauts and Blaha did an excellent job during this EVA, they gave an example of fruitful international cooperation and so they all deserve a loud: 'MOLODTSY' (very well done). Of course the cosmonauts were very tired after the EVA and back in the airlock they had to do hard labour to put off their spacesuits. Just before midnight Korzun could be heard in a contact with a Portugese radio-amateur via the repaired antenne for the 145 mc. Thusfar there are no more EVA's on schedule for this crew. Chris v.d.

The **best** source I've ever seen, by far, is Monitoring Times magazine. Each month, they have a *very* extensive and thorough section (typically at least 24 pages in length) showing English-language shortwave broadcasts from just about every station in the world, listed hour by hour - plus a chart that shows "propagation conditions" to tell the reader which frequencies are best and worst at any time of day. Plus (in addition to frequencies) they provide a great amount of detail about the contents of radio broadcasts (whether a show offers music, news, discussion, etc.) Plus, the magazine offers *many* excellent articles (and ongoing monthly columns) about all kinds of shortwave (and other) radio monitoring, data on antennas (and other technical topics), and just about anything else you can imagine that would be of use to radio monitors of any and all kinds, anywhere in the world. I know they provide subscriptions to readers outside the US, and they recently began offering 6-month subscriptions (in addition to their previous 12-month and longer subscriptions) which, of course, cost less money.

Well, for a start, as far as I know, Radio-4 does not broadcast on Short Wave at all. Together with Radio's 1, 2 and 3, these 4 stations form the domestic service of the BBC and consequently they are aimed at the audience within the UK. I do know that (at least) Radio 3 and 4 are also coming out on satellite channels, because our cable system in Amsterdam distributes Radio 3 and 4. (I assume from this that also 1 and 2 are coming out on the satellite as well, but we do not have them on our cable, unfortunately). There are so many English speaking stations on the SW, too many to mention. Are you interested in any particular short wave station? Try the BBC World Service. You should see many frequency lists or program guides passing by here in this echo. Regards, Charles.

DC> I have often wandered into the Shortwave band on my radio, only to DC> discover that other stations are frequently interupting the signals. DC> So, what's around on Shortwave ? So, you ask, What is on shortwave, let's see...... First off there is the BBC World Service, knocking around somewhere This is pretty good, except the output is like R4 24 hours a day !! Address is BBC World Service, Bush House, The Strand London, WC2B 4PH web is www.bbc.co.uk or summat like that Then, there is Radio Netherlands, this puts out a dead good output, roadcasts to europe at 11.30 UTC on 6.045Mhz and 7.190 (6.045 is usually best) this puts out a wide and varied output throughout the week Notably Thursdays media network - all to do with SW etc (This follows after Newsline, a 14 minute news relateed prog that follows the news) No newsline at the weekends, and there is sincerely yours on sunday straight after the news. Each block to europe is 2 hours long and normally contains quite a few progs So listen and find out The address is - Radio Netherlands, Po Box 222, 1200 JG, Hilversum, Holland or e-mail them for a schedule at: letters@rnw.nl - Web www.rnw.nl Then there is VOA (Voice Of America) these no longer transmit directly to europe, but it is possible to pick up tx's directed elsewhere Unfortunately, although I hae the new sched. I haven't had time to do much listening... They put out some good stuff when you have the time to sit down and listen Address is: VOA, 330 Independence Av SW, Washington DC, USA There are many other stations around, just twiddle carefully, especially if your radio is the ghetto blaster type that isn't really designed for SW reception - What sort of radio are you using ???, I started with a Codar CR70A MKII I borrowed from my grandad when I was 9 (now 20) I moved house we set it back up, but then we had to move temporarily while it was being done up - I never saw it again (he had it back for the duration) My interest was re-kindled by twiddling with a Tandy 2 transistor radio kit (Sadly, now defunct) that I found by slightly rewiring things would pick up SW stations - It did it all the time though !! I progressed to using my 'ghetto blaster' CFS201L (Sony), which was a pain in the bum to tune, as if you slipped you covered about 5 MHz !!! I bought a cheap SW3000 from Dixons, lasted all of six months, got a Panasonic RF-b45 which did me for four years, I now own a second hand Kenwood R-2000, which my grandad had, and I always remember him telling me how good a set it was !! Anyway - Back to topic....... Voice of Russia, great station this, if you twiddle around and hear a clear station with an english voice, it almost certainly must be Russia Address is - English Service,Voice Of Russia, Moscow, Russia e-mail: letters@vor.ru - There is a web page, but i don't have the address ! Reading matter wise, there is a lot to look at - If you intend getting a proper radio, then you will need to read up on some literature Shortwave magazine, published last thur of the month (Next one due on 28th December - Current one still available, Check Smiths or your local good newsies) Very good nag, been reading it since 1991, has loads of info relating to stations, receivers, accesories, aerials etc - Too much to really mention get yourself a copy and have a read - I would thouroughly recommend it to anybody. It does have a 'sister' mag - Practical Wireless (PW) - THis is aimed mainly at amateurs. Passport to World Band Radio - This is a book (Abt 20 quid) that is like a tv guide, apart from receiver reviews etc, it tells you what is on each hour of the day from all the different stations, as well as the infamous blue pages - Like a cross reference guide where if you tune to a frequency and don't know what the station is, just look it up. (Use it for the entire year) There is some good advice in there for new starters Some libraries have a copy - borrow it, or borrow, or buy (normally very cheap) a copy of a previous years passport, to see what your letting yourself into !!!!! There's loads more, I could go on all day, but if there is anything more, then either mail me, or post a message to all in this echo - Someone'll help you.. Regards Mark ... "It compiled?
