The fact it has survived for 10 years without any support from the organized Jewish community is in itself a miracle. Now founder Robert Levy has begun to wave the white flag. In a statement issued today, he said the time has come to end his commitment towards the radio station.CJRS, branded as Radio Shalom Montreal, is a 24-hour non-profit radio station based in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It is Canada?s first and only trilingual Jewish radio station. Radio Shalom is also the only all Jewish radio station in North America. It broadcasts in French, English and Hebrew. The station broadcasts at 1650 AM. Its current president is Robert Levy.Radio Shalom broadcasts in several different languages, notably English, French, Hebrew and Yiddish. It has a number of interesting talk shows, particularly those hosted by Howie Silbiger and Stanley A sher. ?What I always appreciated about the station is not only can you listen to it live online, but they always maintained a nice archive of past shows.Levy really gave it his best shot, but I must say the proper push was never really made to get the organized Jewish community completely on side. Yes, I know attempts were made, but think of the value of?Federation CJA,?the YM-YWHA?and ?Montreal's plethora of Jewish organizations assuming a piece of the Radio Shalom pie? Each has large constituencies and radio is so direct.Levy's announcement does not necessarily mean Radio Shalom will close. He ?is first and foremost proposing that a new president and board of directors be appointed. Is there such a group out there?Levy spent years working towards getting?the Canadian-radio Telecommunications Commission (CRTC)?to grant ?Radio Shalom a license. We know that is no easy task. According to a survey in July 2015 conducted by Charles Shahar, Federation CJA statistician, 84.6 perc ent of respondents said they were aware of the existence of Radio Shalom. As the report notes, ?All in all, the awareness quotient of the community with regard to Radio Shalom is a very positive finding.? ------------------------------ Message: 5 Date: Thu, 31 Dec 2015 10:51:43 +0000 (UTC) From: JOSE MIGUEL ROMERO ROMERO <jmromero782...@yahoo.es> To: "frecuenci...@yahoogroups.com" <frecuenci...@yahoogroups.com> Subject: [HCDX] Fairlie DJ is back on air!

As such they are recognised as the forerunners of today's commercial and BBC music stations.He said: "To recognise and pay tribute to this achievement Scotland 69AM.com will broadcast new sh ows, hosted by seven of the pirate DJs who will tell their stories and play music for eight hours."Share article???Tony will be one of the broadcasters, beginning on New Year's Day. He is one of the founders of Scotland 69AM which is an award-winning internet station reaching 190 countries globally.The former local resident, who has a professorship in public relations, having run the successful TM company in Glasgow for decades, is the administrator of the Kelburn Windfarm Trust. ------------------------------ Message: 6 Date: Thu, 31 Dec 2015 11:14:06 +0000 From: John Hoad <johnho...@talktalk.net> To: hard-core-dx@hard-core-dx.com Subject: [HCDX] Re Radio Scotland Message-ID: <bdfe5600-0359-4277-84b6-429f6871b...@talktalk.net> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Re message from Jose, the correct web address is -: www.scotland69am.com Happy New Year to you all.

Ron Howard says was because of typhoon warnings. 5020, Dec 31 at 0724, detectable JBA carrier this early in Cuba splash, and still on at 1308, 1356 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** SPAIN. 15500, Thu Dec 31 at 1507, S9+20 open carrier with some fading, continuously past 1600+; presumably REE, the only station listed here, but supposed to start programming from 1500 only on Saturdays & Sundays; perhaps on NY eve, the ops at Noblejas are confused. Ivo Ivanov has also heard REE transmitters running carriers at odd times like 0900+ (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** TURKEY. 11815.04, Dec 31 at 1501, very poor signal, unseems Japanese, and off-frequency, so likely TRT Emiler TURKEY in Turkish as scheduled 14-17 UT at 300 degrees USward, rather than NHK at 09-17, 235 degrees oppositeward. I was hoping to hear some New Year celebrations from 2016, just arrived in Japan (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1805 monitoring: confirmed at 1433 Dec 30, the Wed 1415.5 broadcast on WRMI 9955, no jamming. Also confirmed Wed Dec 30 at 2200, on WBCQ 7490.00, right on time and right on frequency.

I don`t find any similar place in greater Houston) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 1540.08, Dec 30 at 1310 UT, het upon dominant signal KXEL on the R-75. I measure it down to here, and on the DX-398 it`s about two clix (80 Hz) above KXEL, furthermore looping NNW/SSE, just right for KGBC Galveston TX, and with South Asian music; 1316 UT YL in English welcomes us mentioning 106.1 --- so that clinches it, KGBC reported in RadioDiscussions to have replaced G&E/CRI relay with ``Hum Tum Radio`` // 106.1. WTFDA Database has no such 106.1 listing for TX, but this one is in the market: K291CE KLTN-HD3 106.1 SUGAR LAND TX 0.19 kW 29.4456 95.2855 Spanish KLTN is full-power on 102.9 in Houston, ``regional Mexican`` format. By 1318 UT, KEDA is gaining on 1540 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 1540, Dec 31 at 1329 UT, R. Jalape?o is dominant signal, ID in Spanglish from KEDA San Antonio, with a constant LAH: man?vering the DX-398, I am trying to decide whether KEDA is the one off-frequency, to the hi side. No, it`s further east, like from KGBC Galveston as I thought yesterday, tho I can`t pull any South Asian audio from it today. By 1348 UT, KXEL is starting to appear, and making a sub-audible het with KEDA, i.e. both very close to on-frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. Caradio bandscan Dec 30 starting at 1918 UT finds skywave in play half a sesquihour after local mean noon, including: 1620, at 1918 UT, ``The Zone``, i.e. KOZN Bellevue (Omaha) NE 1510, at 1921 UT, football game, fades up and down, KCTE Independence MO, also with lo het, so must be on its off-frequency transmitter now. This het is just a bit higher-pitched than the one on 1540, at 1928 UT 1540, at 1921 UT, low audible het, like I was getting at sunrise from KGBC Galveston TX (vs KXEL IA likely) 1660, at 1921 UT, sports talk, probably KWOD Kansas City KS, tho ND and TX are also sports 1700, at 1922 UT, sports talk about Iowa over TexMex music, i.e. KBGG Des Moines IA and KKLF Richardson TX. See also separate logs: OKLAHOMA [non] 1460; USA 700, 1360 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 700, Dec 30 at 1923 UT on groundwave, Spanish religion, so KHSE Wylie TX. so far heard only in Spanish despite broadening format to ETHnic (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 1360, Dec 30 at 1926 UT, plugging AM-820, covering the state of Ohio, Catholic call-in from EWTN. I.e. the former WOSU disposed of by Ohio State, now WVSG with 6.5 kW in the daytime. But this 1360 is KPHN El Dorado KS, close enough for marginal groundwave but stronger than usual so some boost from skywave? Holding its own against the local KCRC spur/het from 1390 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** YEMEN [non]. 11860, Dec 30 at 1429, R. Sana`a in music at S9+20, usual very good level; 1437 goes to dramatic echoey speech, and CCI from IBB Kuwait audible under; 1439.5 to chanting music; 1441:56 cut to Maghrib, sunset call to prayer. Very different reception Dec 31, as WWV reported: ``Geophysical Alert Message Solar-terrestrial indices for 30 December follow. Solar flux 102 and estimated planetary A-index 4. The estimated planetary K-index at 1200 UTC on 31 December was 4. The estimated planetary K-index at 1500 UTC on 31 December was 6. Space weather for the past 24 hours has been moderate. Geomagnetic storms reaching the G2 level occurred. Space weather for the next 24 hours is predicted to be moderate. Geomagnetic storms reaching the G2 level are expected.`` 11860, Dec 31 at 1308, JBA carrier from R. Sana`a; improved to only poor by 1422; 1439 very poor with CCI from IBB Kuwait; cut to Qur`an for Maghrib call to prayer at 1443:28.5. Two days ago this happened at 1441:22.5, so now 2 minutes and 6 seconds later. Gaisma.com shows today`s sunset in Aden at 1444 UT; Sana`a, 1443, so today`s timing neatly splits the difference between the two main cities; both to shift 4 minutes later in one week (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) This report dispatched at 1833 UT December 31 ------------------------------ Message: 11 Date: Thu, 31 Dec 2015 21:27:19 -0200 From: Daniel Wyllyans <danieln...@gmail.com> To: Hard-Core-DX <hard-core-dx@hard-core-dx.com> Subject: [HCDX] A triste (quase morte) da Onda M?dia na Europa, na passagem do ano: Message-ID: <capzubhpcv9rcgcsdwtgh8ibkkmbcpvuog7uniz4cxved8o8...@mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 A triste (quase morte) da Onda M?dia na Europa, na passagem do ano: Enquanto a Europa se prepara para festejar a entrada em 2016, os entusiastas da r?dio que defendem a Onda M?dia est?o em luto. Com efeito, a partir das 23h00 UTC (hor?rio de Inverno em Portugal continental e Madeira) deste dia 31 de Dezembro de 2015, a Alemanha abandona por completo a Onda M?dia, bem como o Luxemburgo (1440 kHz Marnach, da RTL). Tamb?m a Fran?a abandona esta noite quase por completo esta faixa, desligando os emissores das r?dios p?blicas France Info e France Bleu. A excep??o ser?, aparentemente, o emissor de Lyon da Info (603 kHz), que ter? visto protelado o encerramento para o pr?ximo dia 4 de Janeiro. Com esta lastim?vel onda de encerramentos, sobrevivem os seguintes emissores em territ?rio franc?s: 162 kHz Allouis 2000/1000 kW France Inter - desligamento agendado para o dia 31/12/2016 216 kHz Roumoules 1400/900 kW RMC (04.56 ? 00.08) Local time 603 kHz Lyon - France Info - "switch off" no dia 4/01/2016 1467 kHz Roumoules 1000 kW TransWorld Radio (22.00 ? 00.15) Local Time 1467 kHz Col de la Madone 40 kW Radio Maria France (06.00- 20.30) Local Time 1593 kHz St Gou?no 10 kW Bretagne 5 O argumento?

( Blog Mundo da Radio - Portugal ) e http://www.radiofrance.fr/extinction-des-ondes-moyennes ============= Marnach transmitter site, Luxembourg Since then the transmitter at Marnach has been used to broadcast programmes from CRI (China Radio), South Korea and KBS World Radio. But tonight this comes to an end ?? the Marnach transmitter is being switched off for good (along with most MF transmitters in Germany and France) and the antenna will be removed and the land sold at the going rate.. Last evening, a programme about the ending of Radio Luxembourg was aired over 208 (1440 kHz). The end is nigh! Am I alone in feeling somewhat sad that the end of the Marnach transmitter signifies the end of a broadcasting era? Thanks Marnach and Radio Luxembourg! Gone, but never forgotten..........
