Northern Mariana Islands (Relay), 9520, Radio Liberty, 0915-0930,  Noted a
program of news and commentary in the Russian language.  Signal was coming
in very good from night time path probably.  (Chuck Bolland, March 21, 2009)

Russia, 6075, Radio Rossii, 0940-1000,  Just beginning to fade in with 
Russian
language comments from male and female commentators.  Can't squeez out any
details yet since the signal is just above threshold.  (Chuck Bolland, March 
21, 2009)

Bolivia, 6155.25, Radio Fides, 0953-1000,  With music and Spanish language
 comments from both a male and female.  Another threshold signal with lots

** AFGANISTAN [non]. via Sri Lanka, 9990, Radio Free Afganistan-

** AUSTRALIA. None of the 120m VL8s were audible March 21 at 1312, but I 
checked 5025 again in case VL8K was still stuck on its daytime frequency at 
night. Yes, at 1317, R. Rebelde still exhibiting fades of 40 per minute, the 
same SAH as 24 hours earlier, 0.67 Hz presumably caused by Katherine. Anyone 
further west hearing it for sure on 5025 at this time? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX 
LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA [non]. It`s jarring to be listening to an announcer speaking what 
seems to be perfectly good English, and then a common word is mispronounced. OM 
with CRI News on 6115 via Canada, March 21 at 0611, pronounced ``ally`` as if 
it were ``alley``! There was also another gaffe a few minutes earlier which I 
failed to note down. So you don`t have to speak perfect English to announce on 
the world`s greatest shortwave station where the talent pool must be enormous. 
Soon there will be more Chinese speaking some sort of English than Americans 
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** INDONESIA. Since I last reported RRI Fak2 missing from 4790, there have been 
signs of it on some mornings, but definitely back March 21 at 1320, lo-fi phone 
interview vs CODAR (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** JAPAN [and non]. NHKWNRJ, 11705 via Sackville, Sat March 21 at 1410 with 
World Interactive, accompanied by lite pre-echo from Yamata direct. R. Japan 
plans to continue colliding with itself in A-09, despite my repeated 
complaints, and others noting the same problem, which is worst in western North 
America. The least they could do would be to delay the feed to Yamata just 
enough so it doesn`t echo with Sackville fed by satellite. 

The hostess, whose name I can`t remember, and whose name still appears nowhere 
on the homepage for this show, 
http://www.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/english/radio/wi/index.html
tho her smiling face does twice, said that from next fiscal year in April, she 
would not be losing her job, but the show would be moving to Sundays at 1410 
JST/0510 UT instead of Saturdays at the same time. She announced this twice, 
and is apparently unaware of the several repeats later in the day such as the 
one I was listening to. So what will be aired on Saturdays? (Glenn Hauser, OK, 
DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KOREA NORTH. Altho missing the day before, the whoop-whoop jammer very much 
in evidence March 21 at 1330 on 6350, tho the noise jamming seemed there too, 
and no sign of its victim (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MADAGASCAR [non]. Looking for the new pro-Ravolomanana clandestine, via WRN, 
R. Mada, 5895, scheduled 0400-0430: March 21 at 0405, something there but too 
weak to copy, probably this since nothing else scheduled on frequency; also 
some clicking which is surely not jamming already, but maybe leaking from some 
DentroCuban jammer. WWCR 5890 could be a big super-power problem, but not so 
strong at this time. R. Mada is also scheduled at 1700-1730 on 5895, from a 
Swiss NGO, Tiako i Madagasikara, http://www.tim-sfv.ch --- I suspect the 
transmitter site is Meyerton; if not, somewhere else close to Madagascar, not 
likely from Talata itself (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO [and non]. Someone reported R. Educaci?n signing off 6185 at 0602 
after anthem, which could happen, but they have to play the anthem at local 
midnight whether signing off or not (0500 UT from first Sunday in April 
according to Mexico`s slightly more sensible DST season). I hear XEPPM after 
0600, and still do: March 21 at 0604 there was Mexican music underneath Vatican 
Radio; see VATICAN. The usual rippling SAH also points to the considerably 
off-frequency XEPPM. No sign of Bras?lia, but there would have been on UT 
Sunday when RNA runs all-night. Vatican finishes with 6185 at 0620 after which 
XEPPM should be in the clear (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SPAIN [non]. Maybe this is nothing new, but not noticed before: REE is 
``pulling a BBC`` by keeping a transmitter on a bit longer than its scheduled 
span in order to broadcast one more newscast: The CR relay on 9675, supposedly 
0200-0600 daily, still going at 0602 March 21 with news, 0605 sign-off 
announcement mentioning next frequency on 16m a few hours later, IS once and to 
open carrier.

At 0605 also checked 5965, and could hear the voice of Antonio Buitrago in 
Amigos de la Onda Corta at its true time on UT Saturday, but heavy QRM as 
always de Vatican co-channel. Was REE 6055 direct still on? No, now it`s BBC 
French via Ascension. So we are left without any decent frequency for the DX 
program and REE at 0605, unless we can get 11895 or 12035 for Mideast, Europe.

Note to other broadcasters, which I am sure they are not going to pay any 
attention to now, as they never have in the past: avoid co-channel with Vatican 
even if targets are wildly different, as VR really gets out in unintended 
direxions (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TURKEY [non]. VOT via Canada, 7325, STILL in the wrong language, Turkish 
instead of English, UT March 21 at 0408 check as YL was talking about 
Azerbaijan, Ankara ? but this time unlike previous nights suffering heavy QRM 
from big dirty FMy blob spur. At first I suspected the Sackville transmitter 
was upacting, but the modulation peaks of the QRM were obviously coming from 
some other source. Could it be GUF, VOR`s big signal from 7335, only 10 kHz 
away? No, that`s clean and nothing like it on 7345. 

Tuning a bit further up the band, I heard similar distortion on R. Mart? via 
Greenville 7405. Ah?: another R. Mart? transmission is on 7365, and 7405 is 
leaping over that to produce the spur on 7325. Then I confirm on a second 
receiver that the mod peaks on the 7325 QRM match R. Mart? on 7405, so 
Greenville is definitely the source ? but it doesn`t have to be, as none such 
ever noted before on my nightly chex of Turkey`s misfeed on 7325. The GB mix 
potentially happens 0300-0500, when both 7405 and 7365 are active, except UT 
Mondays when the weekly truce starts at 0300. For once, the DentroCuban Jamming 
Command is innocent. O well, we aren`t missing any English from VOT, and the 
handful of Turx in NAm who might be listening probably aren`t aware of this 
unintentional opportunity (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. R. Mart? spur on 7325, QRMing Turkey via Canada: see TURKEY

** U S A. I hear IBOC noise on 1680, 1690 and 1710, which indicates at least 
two stations are running it, on 1690 and 1700, March 21 at 1343 UT. 1690 itself 
was dominated by ``The Talk of Chicago, WVON`` ID. 1700 had at least two talk 
stations mixing, their AM signals strong enough to override the IBOC on the 
high side of WVON. But which one on 1700 is radiating IBOC sidebands? At this 
hour, has to be Des Moines or one of the Texans, but nothing on 1700 shown as 
IBOC in the 2008-2009 NRC AM Log (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** VATICAN [and non]. R. Vaticana continues to be an annoyance, QRMing other 
stations by inept frequency management allowing co-channel clashes. See SPAIN 
for what it does to 5965, and MEXICO for what it does to 6185. VR 5965 at 0605 
March 21 blocking REE`s DX program via Costa Rica on its only audible frequency 
here; VR with English report on papal visit to Cameroon. Second European 
program on 6185, March 21 at 0604 blocking XEPPM, in Scandinavian language, but 
which? 

Current VR program folder is no help with such minor details, nor is WRTH! EiBi 
and Aoki show Finnish on Saturdays. There was a lot of QRM, but I was leaning 
toward a non-Finno-Ugric one. Of course it`s more politically correct to 
consider the Finns just `Nordic`, separate from the Scandinavian countries to 
the west whose languages are closely related, while Finnish is totally 
different, but VR lumps them all together; is VR keeping its options open, not 
to be tied down to specific days of week for each? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX 
LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 15463, March 21 at 1429-1439+, two-way Spanish contacts on SSB, 
as always, hard to understand, but one of them kept whistling into the mike, 
which is not the sign of a polished operator, and also was heard to use the 
expression ``puta madre`` which is not polished either. For a while they were 
discussing things to do at midnight on the next few dates, perhaps arranging a 
rendezvous for drug shipments. I assumed it would be USB, but just in case I 
checked on the ATS-909 and they were using LSB, too bad since there was het 
from a broadcaster on 15460, but none on 15465. One never sees any logs of 
these intruders from Latin American DXers, who would have a much better chance 
of understanding the conversations, and perhaps picking up clues about what 
they are about, and even their locations (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING 
DIGEST) ###

** SPAIN [non]. Maybe this is nothing new, but not noticed before: REE is 
``pulling a BBC`` by keeping a transmitter on a bit longer than its scheduled 
span in order to broadcast one more newscast: The CR relay on 9675, supposedly 
0200-0600 daily, still going at 0602 March 21 with news, 0605 sign-off 
announcement mentioning next frequency on 16m a few hours later, IS once and to 
open carrier.

At 0605 also checked 5965, and could hear the voice of Antonio Buitrago in 
Amigos de la Onda Corta at its true time on UT Saturday, but heavy QRM as 
always de Vatican co-channel. Was REE 6055 direct still on? No, now it`s BBC 
French via Ascension. So we are left without any decent frequency for the DX 
program and REE at 0605, unless we can get 11895 or 12035 for Mideast, Europe.

Note to other broadcasters, which I am sure they are not going to pay any 
attention to now, as they never have in the past: avoid co-channel with Vatican 
even if targets are wildly different, as VR really gets out in unintended 
direxions (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TURKEY [non]. VOT via Canada, 7325, STILL in the wrong language, Turkish 
instead of English, UT March 21 at 0408 check as YL was talking about 
Azerbaijan, Ankara ? but this time unlike previous nights suffering heavy QRM 
from big dirty FMy blob spur. At first I suspected the Sackville transmitter 
was upacting, but the modulation peaks of the QRM were obviously coming from 
some other source. Could it be GUF, VOR`s big signal from 7335, only 10 kHz 
away? No, that`s clean and nothing like it on 7345. 

Tuning a bit further up the band, I heard similar distortion on R. Mart? via 
Greenville 7405. Ah?: another R. Mart? transmission is on 7365, and 7405 is 
leaping over that to produce the spur on 7325. Then I confirm on a second 
receiver that the mod peaks on the 7325 QRM match R. Mart? on 7405, so 
Greenville is definitely the source ? but it doesn`t have to be, as none such 
ever noted before on my nightly chex of Turkey`s misfeed on 7325. The GB mix 
potentially happens 0300-0500, when both 7405 and 7365 are active, except UT 
Mondays when the weekly truce starts at 0300. For once, the DentroCuban Jamming 
Command is innocent. O well, we aren`t missing any English from VOT, and the 
handful of Turx in NAm who might be listening probably aren`t aware of this 
unintentional opportunity (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. R. Mart? spur on 7325, QRMing Turkey via Canada: see TURKEY

** U S A. I hear IBOC noise on 1680, 1690 and 1710, which indicates at least 
two stations are running it, on 1690 and 1700, March 21 at 1343 UT. 1690 itself 
was dominated by ``The Talk of Chicago, WVON`` ID. 1700 had at least two talk 
stations mixing, their AM signals strong enough to override the IBOC on the 
high side of WVON. But which one on 1700 is radiating IBOC sidebands? At this 
hour, has to be Des Moines or one of the Texans, but nothing on 1700 shown as 
IBOC in the 2008-2009 NRC AM Log (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** VATICAN [and non]. R. Vaticana continues to be an annoyance, QRMing other 
stations by inept frequency management allowing co-channel clashes. See SPAIN 
for what it does to 5965, and MEXICO for what it does to 6185. VR 5965 at 0605 
March 21 blocking REE`s DX program via Costa Rica on its only audible frequency 
here; VR with English report on papal visit to Cameroon. Second European 
program on 6185, March 21 at 0604 blocking XEPPM, in Scandinavian language, but 
which? 

Current VR program folder is no help with such minor details, nor is WRTH! EiBi 
and Aoki show Finnish on Saturdays. There was a lot of QRM, but I was leaning 
toward a non-Finno-Ugric one. Of course it`s more politically correct to 
consider the Finns just `Nordic`, separate from the Scandinavian countries to 
the west whose languages are closely related, while Finnish is totally 
different, but VR lumps them all together; is VR keeping its options open, not 
to be tied down to specific days of week for each? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX 
LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 15463, March 21 at 1429-1439+, two-way Spanish contacts on SSB, 
as always, hard to understand, but one of them kept whistling into the mike, 
which is not the sign of a polished operator, and also was heard to use the 
expression ``puta madre`` which is not polished either. For a while they were 
discussing things to do at midnight on the next few dates, perhaps arranging a 
rendezvous for drug shipments. I assumed it would be USB, but just in case I 
checked on the ATS-909 and they were using LSB, too bad since there was het 
from a broadcaster on 15460, but none on 15465. One never sees any logs of 
these intruders from Latin American DXers, who would have a much better chance 
of understanding the conversations, and perhaps picking up clues about what 
they are about, and even their locations (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING 
DIGEST)

** GERMANY [non]. DW English, March 21 at 2019 concluding report from Jo`burg, 
ID in passing, on 15275, fair reception. What does PWBR `2009` say? Site is 
UAE. I don`t think so; doesn`t come in that well here, aimed at Africa from the 
other side. In fact it`s Sines, Portugal, 140 degrees off the back, the site 
having changed from UAE on January 1 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MADAGASCAR [non]. Seems I`m not the only broadcaster uncertain about the 
proper pronunciation of Malagasy names. BBCWS in English, March 21 at 2013 on 
17830 via Ascension, edited together multiple attempts to pronounce the new 
leader`s name (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NETHERLANDS [non]. RNW is about to put the nail in the coffin of English via 
Bonaire; after abolishing SW to NAm, one English broadcast remained in B-08, 
20-21 UT on 17810 for West Africa, tho easily audible back here in NAm --- but 
that is to be cancelled shortly in A-09, when this hour in English to West 
Africa will be on 11610 via France instead, along with Madagascar on 5905 and 
7425 for the rest of Africa, neither of which is likely to propagate here in 
our summer.

So I felt a bit nostalgic as I heard Bonaire 17810, March 21 at 2006 beginning 
``The State We`re In``, a co-produxion with WAMU Washington DC, Jonathan 
Groubert interviewing non-Americans about credit crunch, etc., so I`m not sure 
how much WAMU really had to do with it. 

WAMU is one of hundreds of American public radio stations which could have 
started a shortwave station, enormously improving the program content of US SW, 
but saw no need for it, instead leaving it predominantly to the gospel-huxters, 
pushers of silver as food, and other right-wing extremists (Glenn Hauser, OK, 
DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. VOA French to Africa, 15225, March 21 at 2016 seems quite 
undermodulated despite S9+20 signal. Watching the meter and listening more 
carefully, I soon realize that the big signal is rock-steady, but the French 
audio is fading up and down in normal shortwave propagational fashion. What`s 
really happening is that we have two transmitters, the stronger one open 
carrier, and the weaker one with the programming. What does PWBR `2009` say? 
Nothing. No VOA listings at all on 15225.

At 2030 the programming stopped briefly and then resumed after a couple of 
false starts at normal modulation level, for the ``English USA`` show of 
language lessons, nicely done and just as useful for learning French as 
English, as each sentence is translated one at a time. This turned out to be 
lesson four-score-and-eleven, part one, subject being modern life and the 
future tense, followed at 2041 by part two. At 2055, I found a USG editorial 
(in French) about Rwanda, off at 2059:30*

Unfortunately this waylaid me from Music Time in Africa which I had started 
listening to on also very good 11975, altho only 125 kW from Bonaire aimed 
eastward at 80 degrees; but then returned to it at 2041 while some percussion 
from Benin was playing. Announcer said show is scheduled Sat and Sun at 09 and 
20 UT; but there are no SW frequencies at 09 (I think).

A quick check of registrations confirms it. This is another case of nonsensical 
transmitter-site switching in the middle of a broadcast. Until 2030 it`s 
Bonaire daily with 250 kW at 80 degrees, and after 2030 it`s Greenville 
Saturdays and Sundays only, 250 kW at 94 degrees --- I suppose the same 
transmitter which is on 15185 M-F with Hausa, just corrected from almost five 
months of English relays by mistake; nothing on 15185 today.

But why run open carrier for at least a quarter hour on the same frequency 
already carrying a program? Greenville should warm up somewhere else if really 
necessary, and crash-start 15225 just as the Bonaire relay is ending. Even an 
open carrier causes co-channel interference, as I just experienced. It could be 
equally bad with both of them aimed at the same target area, even tho they were 
quite zero-beat, with no SAH as a tip-off (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING 
DIGEST)

** U S A. While checking out RNW Bonaire and BBC Ascension on 16m, March 21 at 
2010, not a trace of KVOH on 17775, let alone its septuplet of spurs at 144 kHz 
intervals, so off the air? Chile and Costa Rica were also in well on the band 
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. An MW bandscan on caradio at Arby`s parking lot in Enid turned out to 
be a pretty hot spot; March 21 at 1940 UT, slightly more than an hour after 
local mean noon at 1832, I was getting three very weak signals on 720. A slow 
SAH of 2.5 Hz fits for WGN Chicago and KSAH San Antonio, per numerous previous 
logs day and night, but there was also a very fast SAH overlain, too fast to 
count. 

What could be the third station in the daytime? Nothing at all likely, but KDWN 
in Las Vegas NV is 50 kW nondirexional daytime, further than Chicago and over 
mountainous terrain, low ground conductivity. Or something spurious much 
closer, but have never had spurs or images from the three local MW stations on 
this frequency. 

(By nulling KRMG-740 on a portable, however, some time ago in the daytime, I 
was startled to hear sports talk, which turned out to be a receiver image of 
KFXY-1640 minus 2 x IF 450 = 900 kHz.)

Also at 1943 March 21 I could just barely hear Spanish on 1250, i.e. KYYS 
Kansas City, which despite 25 kW is not normally audible here daytimely, almost 
500 km (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

3-Minute Interview: Joan Mower

By Michael Neibauer
Examiner Staff Writer 3/19/09
Joan Mower is director of public relations for Voice of America 
(voanews.com).

You grew up in Africa. Do you remember hearing VOA?

Those were the days before CNN, before satellite television. Voice of 
America and the BBC, Voice of America especially if you were American; 
we would almost have a listening club.

Do Americans know about Voice of America?

Not enough. VOA is the largest international broadcasting organization, 
and we are supported 100 percent by U.S. taxpayers. We?re a federal 
agency. We broadcast in 45 languages to an audience of about 134 
million. We are, however, prohibited from broadcasting to the United 
States. The only way you can find out about us is the Internet.

Why not broadcast inside the U.S.?

That was a law passed in 1948. There was a concern at the time about the 
government propagandizing its own citizens.

How do you gauge listenership?

We have a contract with a research company, and we do research in every 
country. We?re all over Africa. We?re all over Asia. We have an audience 
of more than 20 million in Indonesia, for example. Eleven percent of the 
Pakistanis are either watching us on television [or] listening to us on 
the radio, and increasingly we?re seeing our Internet audience grow.

How do you broadcast to closed nations?

Our mission is news and information. In closed radio environments, we 
use shortwave and medium-wave radio. In Burma we have quite a large 
shortwave audience, as well as in North Korea and Vietnam. In Iran, one 
in four adults listens to us or watches us.

VOA offers tours of its D.C. studio?

It?s about 45 minutes. It?s a great way to introduce people to what we 
do. It?s a little-known gem in the tour cycle of Washington. We are 
taxpayer supported, and we want to let as many people know what we?re 
doing. Visit voatour.com.

Exiled media refuses to be silenced

Thulani Mpofu, Foreign Correspondent

* Last Updated: March 22. 2009 8:30AM UAE / March 22. 2009 4:30AM GMT

Gerry Jackson, the founder and station manager of SW Radio Africa, says 
the service is popular in Zimbabwe's rural areas. Jonathan Player for 
The National

BULAWAYO, ZIMBABWE // Immediately after Zimbabwe?s Supreme Court 
declared the monopoly of the state broadcaster unconstitutional in Sept 
2000, a prominent disc jockey, Gerry Jackson, set up the country?s first 
independent radio station.

Capital Radio managed to broadcast from a hotel room in central Harare 
for six days before armed police raided the studio and confiscated 
equipment.

In Dec 2001, Jackson moved to London, recruited six Zimbabwean 
journalists and launched SW Radio Africa, which has beamed news into 
Zimbabwe ever since, becoming a trailblazer in what has become a 
thriving Zimbabwean media-in-exile.

Since Robert Mugabe, the president, intensified his suppression of 
independent media within Zimbabwe, shutting down at least five privately 
owned newspapers and entrenching the government?s monopoly of the 
airwaves, many print or radio outlets, like SW Radio Africa, established 
themselves online, operating out of Washington, London, the Netherlands 
and South Africa.

The outlets, staffed by some of Zimbabwe?s best journalists and 
broadcasters who have been forced into exile, publish stories that would 
otherwise go unreported in the restricted local media.

?We are on air daily for two hours between 5pm and 7pm UK time,? said 
Jackson, station manager of SW Radio Africa, which broadcasts in English 
and Shona, the most widely spoken local Zimbabwean language, on the 
internet and via mobile phone SMS to 30,000 subscribers in Zimbabwe.

?The radio is extremely popular, especially in rural areas,? she said.
The New York-based Committee to Protect Journalists said that of its top 
10 list of countries that have forced journalists into exile between 
July 2001 and June 2007, six were African.

Zimbabwe tops the list with 48 journalists forced into exile, followed 
by Ethiopia with 34 and Eritrea with 19.

The CPJ executive director, Joel Simon, wrote to Morgan Tsvangirai, 
Zimbabwe?s new prime minister, recently, urging the unity government to 
scrap repressive media laws.
?The government of national unity should take immediate steps to abolish 
laws that require licensing of newspapers and journalists, allow the 
banned Daily News to recommence operations, end jamming of foreign radio 
stations, permit all local and foreign journalists who have been 
deported, banned, or forced into exile for security concerns to return 
safely and without harassment,? Mr Simon said.

Besides Jackson?s SW Radio Africa, other independent media in exile 
include Voice of America?s Studio 7, the US government-funded 
broadcaster?s Zimbabwe news service, which operates out of Washington, 
and the Netherlands-based Voice of the People.

Up to 15 online news outlets also operate outside the country, gathering 
local news through a network of correspondents who use pseudonyms to 
evade arrest, including this reporter.

Wilf Mbanga, another exiled journalist, publishes two newspapers from 
the UK ? Zimbabwe?s first physical newspapers in exile.

The government controls 10 provincial weeklies and seven national 
newspapers including the country?s only two dailies. It also runs four 
radio stations and the country?s sole television channel, all of which 
are widely seen as pro-Mugabe.

Only three independent weeklies remain, but they have limited circulations.

The government says the exile radio stations are ?pirates? and 
frequently jams their transmission. It has failed to do much about 
web-based publications, however, even though correspondents face the 
risk of arrest.

Takura Zhangazha, the director of the Media Institute of Southern 
Africa, Zimbabwe chapter, a group that campaigns for press freedom, said 
independent media in Zimbabwe have been destroyed by tough laws under 
which newspapers and broadcasters must register with 
government-appointed commissions, and by the jail terms given to 
journalists found working without accreditation.

?The existing laws must be repealed and replaced by a freedom of 
information act, which guarantees citizens access to information [and] 
establishes a self-regulatory body as opposed to the current statutory 
one,? Mr Zhangazha said.

?Clauses that criminalise journalism practice also need to be removed.?
Andrew Moyse, co-ordinator of the Media Monitoring Project, Zimbabwe, 
said the exiled media have played a useful role.

?They fill the gap created by the lack of an independent daily,? Mr 
Moyse said.
?We only have three weeklies that are reaching a few readers because of 
their low circulation. On broadcasting we have a broken-down public 
broadcaster, which reaches only 35 per cent of the population.?

Despite state controls on the media, he said, information still manages 
to leak down to the public and ?civil society gets by word of mouth what 
the domestic weeklies may miss?.

However, despite their popularity, Mr Moyse said, the internet 
publications and radio stations have problems reaching the majority of 
poor Zimbabweans who lack internet access or transistors.

Most radios in Zimbabwe, he added, do not have short wave, the platform 
on which exiled stations broadcast. Last year, he said, authorities 
seized short-wave wind-up radios that had been donated to some communities.

?In rural areas, the wind-up short-wave radios helped because most 
people have frequency modulation and medium-wave radios.

?The wind-up radios were very helpful also because people do not need 
batteries, which most rural communities may not afford.?

Hello from the Radio Heritage Foundation, you'll find us at
www.radioheritage.net. We keep radio's memories alive. Will you help
us? 

In case you missed our earlier email about our website, here it is
again! We know many of you are very busy and it's easy to overlook
some mails.

Our thanks to those of you who have already responded! Thanks
for your encouragement and support. If we haven't personally replied
to you already, we will do so as soon as we can.

Radio touches us in so many ways. That's why it's important that
someone takes the time to keep a track of the voices, people, events
and so much more connected to radio. It's so easy to forget and lose
part of our cultural heritage, our understanding of who we are and
how we got here.

There are so many lost stories, but we're so very grateful
that so many people help us capture some of these stories before it's
too late.

We put these stories on www.radioheritage.net. Will you help us
continue to share these stories about radio heritage from around the
Pacific? Here's how you can make a real difference with as little as
US$10 today. 
_________________________________________________

   Can you help us find US$795 by the end of March to bring much
more wonderful new content online at www.radioheritage.net? Just use
our donation button, and your VISA, Mastercard or American Express
card from anywhere in the world...please see below for details of how
you can help add 16 new stories and much more...and receive a free
copy of the wonderful Voices in the Air book as a thank you......

__________________________________________________ 


You may be one of the thousands of people who visit our website every
week, checking some facts about radio heritage around the Pacific,
searching for stations in our radio guides, tracing famous people and
events or even family genealogy...in fact, nearly 17,000 separate
search terms entered into search engines during 2008 led people to
our site.....or you may even work at one of the thousands of radio
stations around the Pacific region listed at www.radioheritage.net

   Many of you congratulate us on our volunteer based website, saying
you like the stories, the photos, the information you can find, and
much more! We're really pleased to know that the site is useful, and
that, even if you only visit us once or a few times, we've helped you
in some way.

  As we've matured, so have the demands on our resources grown. The
technologies available to us now were almost imaginable in 2004. 
       
To unlock more from our growing collections and let us provide more
services such as on-line radio sound archives, the new searchable
database, more radio guides, new ways for you to talk with us and
other users of the site, we're having to rebuild our site......and we
need your help to keep more stories and content flowing onto our
existing site over the coming six months whilst this work takes place
behind the scenes.

  Before March 31, we need to find US$795 to add a backlog of
exciting new content to the site...16 great new radio stories, more
of our popular Long Lost Australian Radio Stars series, 15 fantastic
Long Lost Radio Images, great book reviews, news items,
anniversaries, events and much more.....

We've got a great web designer willing to put in many hours of work
for us to do this at greatly reduced rates, and so we're asking if
you'd be prepared to make a specific donation of US$10 or more
towards getting this job done.

  If just 80 readers pledge US$10 each or 8 readers of this email
pledge US$100 each, we've got the cost covered. Or, 16 of you pledge
US$50 each....you can see that a few can have a large impact.....

For many people, a visit to www.radioheritage.net is a nostalgic trip
down memory lane to see old radio friends again, and over the past
four years, we've had nearly half a million people stop by the site
and find something useful. All up, you've looked at millions of
pages and registered millions more hits, and spent hundreds of
thousands of hours on the site!!

  We've only brought you the tip of a very large iceberg of materials
already in our collections, and we've done this as a free
service......something that's central to our whole approach, and one
we'll continue in the future. 

We'd like to honor and acknowledge everyone who is able to contribute
in some way towards funding this US$795 we need, and we'd like your
permission to name you and your location as part of the new content
we begin adding. If you prefer, you can remain anonymous.

   Your funds will be used to meet the immediate need for US$795 to
bring forward our backlog of new content before the end of April. Our
web designer will also add more new material over the following
months as additional funds become available [we need US$355 each
month] and whilst our new site is being designed and built. This
content will, of course, be transferred over to the new site.

  If you enjoy our site, and support our non-profit approach to
connecting radio heritage and popular culture across the Pacific,
please send your contribution of US$10 or more today.....it will make
a very big difference!

  Thanks so much, we really appreciate your support in so many ways.

"De Certa forma, as pessoas s?o como esponjas: elas t?m a tend?ncia de
absorver o que est? ? sua volta. ? muito f?cil adotar, mesmo sem querer, as
atitudes, os padr?es e os tra?os de personalidade daqueles com quem temos
muito contato" Portanto procuremos sempre ser uma  pessoa melhor a cada dia.
