Early Argentine Radio
>From Parsifal to Peron
The Pacific Connection
_______________________
The Radio Heritage Foundation has released a new article reviewing
the book 'From Parsifal to Peron' by Robert H Claxton at its global
website www.radioheritage.net.
Argentina began radio broadcasting in 1920, and its early history was
based around radio amateurs who pushed new boundaries every day,
proving that radio heritage is globally connected, and unable to be
viewed just in the context of one nation's story.
By 1924, Argentina and New Zealand had set a joint world record for
long distance radio broadcasting, and the article includes a photo of
the equipment used to connect the two countries across the Pacific.
The article critically reviews this story of the early days of
non-commercial radio in Argentina, and how radio radiated from Buenos
Aires across the provinces, and very early on, across the Americas
and to the world.
Using images from collections in New Zealand, Argentina and the USA,
the article at www.radioheritage.net brings color to the story of
early Argentine radio, again confirming how Argentina soon became an
important international broadcasting nation.
"Many Argentine radio stations have been heard across the Pacific
since the 1920's" says the Radio Heritage Foundation, "and we believe
this is a story worth telling. We plan to expand our Argentine and
South American radio heritage content in the near future."
'Parsifal to Peron' by Robert H Claxton does a good job explaining
how radio became so popular in Argentina, and because it is written
in English, it broadens the audience beyond Argentines themselves.
We warmly recommend this article at www.radioheritage.net to all
those interested in Argentine media, and those who want to understand
a little more about how Argentine radio developed in an international
context.
Amongst the images are art work from LR1 Radio El Mundo, LS2 Radio
Prieto, LR5 Radio Excelsior and even a brochure promoting 'El Cuando'
from the Argentine Dance Series issued by the Argentine International
Broadcasting Services in the mid-1930's.

Antarctic Radio Unfreezes
Global Warming Hits the Dial!
_____________________________
The Radio Heritage Foundation has now released an introductory guide
to broadcasting in Antarctica at its global website
www.radioheritage.net and with some four stations at McMurdo Station
alone, it seems 'global warming' is now unfreezing the Antarctic
radio dial.
'Antarctic Radio Unfreezes' journeys back to AFRS radio station WASA
600 AM at McMurdo and traces broadcasting through the American Forces
Antarctic Network [AFAN] on shortwave 6012 through to today's Ice FM
104.5.....where old vinyls have kept on spinning for a new audience.
Local 'pirate' station 88.7 FM is heard whilst cruising around
Mactown, and along the ice highway linking McMurdo with New Zealand's
nearby Scott Base, techno music from Radio Scott Base 97.0 FM can
blast away the icicles.
Even deep down at the South Pole, it's KOLD 87.5 FM and across the
continent, stations as diverse as Radio W.I.L.K.E.S, LRA36 Radio
Nacional Arcangel San Gabriel, Soberamia FM, and Radio Ker 98.0 FM
keep scientists and support staff entertained and informed through
the seasons of snow and ice.
This well illustrated article at www.radioheritage.net helps shine
the light on little known radio stations across the entire 'ice' and
may even result in more stations being discovered. Not all stations
mentioned may still be on the air.
With all kinds of music coming from over 10 radio stations, volunteer
DJ's, a Wells Fargo Bank ATM, increasing numbers of adventure
travellers, cafes, and more trappings of 'civilization' the Antarctic
of today is very different from when explorers barely a century ago
first stepped ashore.
For a fascinating and unique look at radio broadcasting in the
Antarctic, we warmly recommend your visiting 'Antarctic Radio
Unfreezes' today at www.radioheritage.net.

Hi,
I got a QSL card from the Radio Hargeisa German address yesterday. On the
backside lines they have lined out by hand all frequencies, but changed 7122 to
7145 kHz - so it was confirmed. On the next line "10 kW" is changed by hand to
"100 kW T-antenna"!

** ANGUILLA [non]. Caribbean Beacon (as it never axually IDs) still missing
from 11775 at 1228 May 13; could hear DCJC pulses QRMing weak Chinese signal,
Commie jammer vs Commie jammer since the Chinese is on there to block All India
Radio in Tibetan via Goa! Is 6090 also missing at night or are DGS/PMS stuck on
that frequency also in the daytime? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA [and non]. Thanks to the imminent 20th anniversary of June 4, jamming
is building up. Now we are hearing two separate Firedrakes --- same type of
music but being fed from non-synchronized sources. May 13 observations:
At 1205, new FD on 9400 underneath something in Chinese, per Aoki FEBC
PHILIPPINES, which would not normally be jammed, and Aoki does not yet have it
asterisked.
At 1208, FD on 9000, stronger than 9400, and not //; however, FD on 8400 was //
9400 but not to 9000 as it previously had been.
At 1231, FD on 13970 // 8400, not // 9000. No FD found higher than 13970.
At 1336, FD on 9000 stronger than not // 8400. At 1412 both of these were off.
And the non-FD jamming by CNR1 echoes: May 13 at 1234 on 15255, burying VOA via
Tinang.
At 1304 on 17515 heard Chinese talk and music, which must be jamming against
BBC`s Uzbek service at 1300-1330 via Cyprus. Yes, the ChiCom even block
broadcasts in languages of neighboring countries, the excuse being that some
Uzbek-speakers reside in China (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. Altho RHC was back on 15370 May 12, it had resumed the newer frequency
13780 on May 13, at 1305 check; and along with it the leapfrogs over 13680
landing on 13880 by itself, and under R. Prague on 13580. Meanwhile, 15120 was
still missing; what has become of that transmitter?
Also, at 1411 check, 6000 was still on the air and just barely audible in the
growing daytime noise level. Per all versions of RHC schedules in DXLD 9-039,
it is supposed to go off at 1400; it was an echo apart from // 15360 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also RUSSIA
** INDONESIA. After a disastrous sesquiweek on 11785, colliding with
double-ChiCom jamming and VOA, Voice of Indonesia finally took our advice and
returned to 9525 on May 13, first noted at 1204 in Indonesian, no QRM from
Poland via Germany or anything else. At 1227 checked 11785 just in case and
heard Chinese echoing but no fast SAH as had been the case with slightly
off-frequency VOI.
At 1301, ``Sound of Dignity`` still on 9525 in VOI transition from Indonesian
to English, still clear. Now the major obstacle resumes: heavy concentration
needed to try to make out the heavy accents in English, plus the hum. 1327
started ``Indonesian Wonders`` segment but couldn`t figure out about what. 1331
into language lesson.
Final check at 1414 found the usual situation after 1400 on 9525 --- VOI Malay
mixing with CRI in Russian. The smarter thing for VOI to do would be to switch
to 11785 at 1400 when it clears up (except for BBC). BTW, whatever became of
VOI`s Korean service, which used to be at 1200? Now it`s totally missing from
the WRTH A09 Update (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** RUSSIA [and non]. Habana 12000 at 1339 May 13 had hum and heavy distorted
QRM from something in Chinese, spreading 11985 to 12015. Could not find any //
from ChiCom jamming or non-jamming frequencies on 25m or anywhere else. Was
wondering if a ChiCom feed was somehow getting into the RHC transmitter itself.
But at 1359, ah?, VOR IS and 1401 more Chinese mixing, but now not distorted.
Per Aoki, here`s the explanation:
Until 1400 it`s VOR in Chinese via Khabarovsk, 100 kW at 220 degrees but plenty
of signal here in opposite direxion off the back at 40 degrees. After 1400 the
Chinese on 12000 is CVC Darwin, 250 kW at 340 degrees (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [non]. 9760, VOA via Philippines, Wednesday May 13 at 1318-1323 with
Wordmaster feature, interviewing someone from Burkina Faso at a TESOL
conference in Denver about English teaching. Interesting feature added to my
MONITORING REMINDERS CALENDAR. But searching the VOA site on Wordmaster you get
zero hits! If you look under W in the seemingly exhaustive A-Z list of VOA
program titles in all languages, it is not there! Instead you have to find it
under Special English, even tho as heard it was NOT in S.E., and not part of an
S.E. program block. http://www.voanews.com/specialenglish/wordmaster/index.cfm
And this week`s item is at the top, audio available,
http://www.voanews.com/specialenglish/Wordmaster/2009-05-13-voa9.cfm
where we also see that TESOL stands for Teachers of English to Speakers of
Other Languages (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

Wednesday afternoon, Ted Randall tells me he is rerunning the Tuesday QSO show
including interview with me, in case you missed it. That portion started at
2137 UT originally, WBCQ, 7415. Maybe on Thursday too as he is tied up with
getting ready for the Dayton Hamvention, altho that portion of the show may be
updated.
And he says the broadcast is up on the website http://www.tedrandall.com and is
listed on Itunes. 73, Glenn Hauser

US Armed Forces Radio WWII
The Famous Mosquito Network
Celebrating 65 Years
____________________________
The Radio Heritage Foundation has released a major new series of
three articles at its global website www.radioheritage.net telling
the story of the famous Mosquito Network that broadcast in the South
Pacific in WWII.
Some 65 years ago, the American Expeditionary Station at Guadalcanal
in the British Solomon Islands Protectorate came on the air. In the
following 18 months, the later renamed WVUQ entertained hundreds of
thousands of allied forces who moved through the spawling military
complex on the island.
In these three articles, you'll learn how the Mosquito Network got
its name, see how the various stations [as far south as 1ZM Auckland,
New Zealand] were actually set up and run on a daily basis, read
about the famous Hollywood stars of stage and screen who featured on
the air and in person in remote jungle outposts, and understand just
how important the stations were to the morale of allied forces.
The series is authored by Radio Heritage Foundation board member
Martin Hadlow, who interviewed many of the surviving broadcasters
personally, and had access to historical AFRS documents. Martin is
also a former manager of the Solomon Islands Broadcasting Service and
understands radio broadcasting in a tropical zone from personal
experience.
These new articles at www.radioheritage.net outline the birth of
radio broadcasting in the Solomons and Vanuatu [then the New
Hebrides], from mobile radio stations in suitcases, to fully fledged
18 hours a day operations as good as any found anywhere in the USA in
the 1940's.
It also answers the question as to whether or not the Mosquito
Network was really a network at any time, or were the stations always
independently operated. Amazing what can be done with good radio
conditions!
This is a major contribution to understanding how early broadcasting
actually came to many parts of the Pacific for the first time with
the US Armed Forces Radio Service in the mid-1940's. WVUQ staff also
recorded local music and broadcast programs for Solomon Islanders.
You'll also enjoy our earlier major articles at www.radioheritage.net
on AFRS Jungle Network and AFRS Japan, whose stories are so strongly
connected to those of the Mosquito Network. As well, there are other
articles on AFRS Alaska and individual stations such as WVUV American
Samoa, KMTH Midway, WXLE Eniwetok, WXLF Canton Island and other AFRS
stations in Alaska and the Pacific.
