Re: [DX] Globe Wireless

Tuo aiemmin mainitsemani Global Link Network taitaa olla
siirtynyt Swisscomin johdon alle (ehkä myös Kiel Radio
business hommassa mukana). Noista linkissäsi mainituista
asemista minulla onkin jo plakkarissa QSL kaikilta paitsi
kiinalaiselta. Ihan mukavia vastaajia ovat olleet.

HEB Bern´en omistaa nykyisin Swisscom Broadcast AG, joka lienee
valtioenemmistöinen yhtiö.  Tällaisia asemia ko. firmalta löytyy
HF-taajuuksilta:

Globe Wireless´illä on ollut noin 6000 laiva-asiakasta - joilla on viime
aikoina sitten ollut merkittäviä hankintoja ... satelliittikalusto kun ei
ole niitä halvempia. Melkoinen tekijä siis maailmalla.
Voi toki olla, että ovat käyttäneet samoja mastoja ... eihän tuota
HF-liikennettä nyt kovin paljon ole ollut ... melkein tyhjää kutsua ovat nuo
GW:nkin taajuudet tahkonneet ja tahkoaa tuo HEB nytkin päivät pitkät.

Onhan tuo meriradioliikenteen maailma muuttunut. Minä nuorena kävin kipinän
opinnot läpi ja seilasin 1973-83. Olisi laivoilla kipinän hommia ollut vielä
tuonkin jälkeen jokunen vuosi, vaan mulle riitti nuo 10v.

Tuolloin ei vielä monessakaan suomalaisessa paatissa ollut edes telexiä,
satelliiteista puhumattakaan. Kehityksen sitten kulkiessa kipinät jätettiin
yhä useammasta laivasta maihin. Helsinkiradionkin HF/MF asemat suljettiin
kai vuoden 2000 pintaan.

En ole seuraillut noiden aiemmin mainittujen rannikkoasemien
omistussuhteita, mutta jotenkin tuntuu että Globe Wireless oli vain yksi
asiakas noilla HF asemilla (Rogaland, Bern ja monet muut).
Globe Wirelessin myynti ei toivottavasti isommin vaikuta näiden asemien
toimintaan.

Kyllähän meribandit ovat hiljaisia nykyään. Sähkötystä ei juuri kuulu, Seoul
Radio taitaa olla viimeisiä kilkuttelijoita bandeilla. Telexiä operoivat
vielä jotkut rannikkoasemat (mm. Kiina, Kreikka, Turkki jne). HF
radiopuheluita ei laivoilta juuri enää kuule mutta käsittääkseni esim Bern
Radio ja Olympia Radio laivapuheluita vielä välittävät jos tarvetta on.
Kaikenlaista digitavaraa myös kuuluu, esimerkiksi Global Link Network
välittää Pactorilla viestejä laivoille monien rannikkoasemien kautta.

Meriradioalueiden taajuuksien saaminen esim. yleisradiokäyttöön ei onnistu
päivässä eikä vuodessa. Byrokratia jauhaa hitaasti ja kansainvälisten
sopimusten muuttaminen vielä hitaammin.

Hinta määrää systeemin laadun ... ja systeemin omistaja yleensä prosessin.
Ja nykyään mikään ei saa maksaa.

Digitaalinen GMDSS on merenkulun turvajärjestelmä ja toimii osaksi myös
HF:llä ...  ks. esim.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_Maritime_Distress_and_Safety_System tai
http://www.imso.org/GMDSS.asp

Mutta vapaa-ajan ja business-luokan puhelut ovat siirtyneet satelliiteille -
ja Inmarsatin kautta puhelut ovat muuten melko hintavia (ja laitteet todella
kalliita). Keskustelut esim. sataman ja merivartioston kanssa käydään lyhyen
kantaman VHF-laitteilla.

Näin se maailma muuttuu. Oli oikeastaan hyvä, ettei nuorena tullut menneeksi
radiosähköttäjä-oppiin ... kuten oli joskus mielessä. Kovin lyhyt olisi
ura ollut. Mutta tuo sähkötystaito toki vielä on tallella ...

Utility: Eikö satelliittiyhteyksille tarvita kuitenkin joku varajärjestelmä?
Vai sallitaanko täydellinen katastrofi jos satelliitit pettävät (tavalla tai
toisella), jolloin kaikki seisoo kuin pinna pashassa.

Utility-liikenteellä on nykyisin todella paljon vapaita kanavia, esim.
meriliikenteellä (maa-asema/laivat)  on jopa parisensataa omaa
työskentelykanavaa. Ja niillä kuuluu liikennettä todella harvoin.
Mielestäni siis hieman ylimitoitettuja resursseja liikenteeseen
nähden. Pitkän matkan liikenne pelaa pääosin satelliittien kautta

nykyisin.

[HCDX] Radio Magic Eye 25900 QSL card

Hello,

I just received the QSL card of Radio Magic Eye for an email report that 
included an audio file and a link to the YouTube post of my reception of 
25 October 2013. V/s Serge Komarov.


Radio Magic Eye broadcasts from Moscow on 25900 kHz on Fridays only; the 
card states 400 W into a 5/8 vertical. Heard in Forli, Italy, with a 
Microtelecom Perseus and a Wellbrook ALA-1530 broadband active loop.

Retro Radio Series Popular
__

You know, 1953 was a really big year. Baby boomers bounced into the
world, the Korean War ended and the Cold War startedand it's
proving a popular year for our new series Retro Radio.

Instead of looking way way back into the 1920's and 1930's, this
series features a time familiar to many people today, and already the
#1 feature at www.radioheritage.net so far in 2014 is Retro Radio
Japan 1953, followed within the Top 10 features by Retro Radio
Australia, New Zealand Pacific 1953so come and have a look at the
radio stations that ruled the airwaves just over 60 years ago.

You'll find Brazil, Iron Curtain Europe, Nordic Europe, Canada,
Caribbean, Africa, Middle East/Central Asia and many
others..and for some even more recent memories, Retro
Radio Hawaii 1961, Idaho 1963 and Texas 1963.

Enjoy them all today, and see the top books, music and movies of 1953
as well, so you can get a good feel for what life was like listening
to the radio in those exciting times.

Keep an eye out for a new series of features soon, we call them Free
Europe 1953 and there is one covering AM, another FM and a third
covering shortwave. 
The Free Europe group along with Nordic Europe and Iron Curtain
Europe completes our coverage of Europe in 1953.

With current events on the borderlands between Russia and the
European Union, it's fascinating to look back 60 years, shortwave may
have almost disappeared, but the tensions remain just as real.
