ADVENTIST WORLD RADIO
The small shortwave station operated by Adventist World Radio in
Forli Italy announces a double DX broadcast beamed towards North
America.
These programs are scheduled to be on the air over the last weekend in
September and they form part of the annual DX contest conducted by
Adventist World Radio.
"The purpose of these broadcasts is to give listeners in North
America, and perhaps elsewhere in the world, the opportunity to hear our
exotic little station," states Christoph Gysin, who is the station
engineer
at AWR-Forli.
The double DX broadcasts are scheduled to be on the air as
follows:-
Saturday night September 27 in USA which is Sunday morning September 28
UTC
Sunday night September 28 in USA which is Monday morning September 29
UTC
0100 - 0300 UTC on both occasions
Programming will consist of two episodes of the AWR global DX
program "Wavescan", one of which will feature a Station Profile on
AWR-Forli. Other segments of the special broadcasts will be taken from
the regular programming of Adventist World Radio.
Program announcements will give details of the special QSL cards that
will be issued for these twin DX broadcasts.
The specific frequency that will be in use for these DX
broadcasts
has not yet been determined, but it will be announced as soon as the
information becomes available. The rotatable log periodic antenna will
be
oriented on New York City, which should give the opportunity for wide
reception throughout the North American continent.
Two special QSL cards will be available for the DX broadcasts
from
Forli. All reception reports addressed to the AWR Office of
International
Relations at Box 29235 Indianapolis 46229, will receive a copy of the
"World's Smallest QSL Card". All reception reports addressed to the
station at Box 383 Forli 47100 in Italy will receive a regular QSL card
with a special endorsement denoting the DX broadcasts. Also available
will be a copy of the AWR QSL stamp, which can be affixed to the QSL
certificate.
If desired, listeners may send two reception reports, one to
each
location. Please remember to enclose return postage, in the form of
currency notes or postage stamps in an international currency, or IRC
coupons.
Last year, at the time of the annual DX contest, similar plans
were
made for a special DX broadcast from AWR-Forli beamed towards North
America. However, two days in advance of the broadcast, the transmitter
mal-functioned and it was off the air for several days. To the credit
of
the international radio world, not one spurious reception report was
received, though some listeners courteously wrote in and explained that
they did not hear the program.
The small AWR station currently on the air at Forli operates
with
an output power of approximately 2.5 kW. The shortwave service from
this station is to be augmented by a large new station that AWR plans to
erect at Argenta on the northern Adriatic coast of Italy. This new
station is
currently in the planning stages.

EKR PRESS RELEASE - 11/8/97
East Kent Radio have announced the launch of two brand new Radio
services.
These will commence on the 20 October 1997 and will broadcast from the
prestigious Maidstone TV Studios, in the heart of Kent, the home of
Flextech, operators of a number of Astra TV channels including
Discovery,Challenge TV, Bravo and the Childrens Channel.
The first service is EKR's new Pan-European A.O.R. Rock Station. The
service, to be called European Klassik Rock, will broadcast from 6am
until 10pm daily on the 7.38 and 7.56 stereo audio sub-carriers of
Challenge TV,which utilises Channel 35 on the Astra 1 C satellite.
The Programming will also be carried by numerous cable systems
throughout the UK and the rest of Europe.
EKR will also become the first new music station to broadcast on the
London D.A.B.Multiplex as it's service will be relayed London wide via
this facility.
Listeners in the Maidstone area will also be able to receive the first
month of the new services via a 28 day RSL broadcast.
The EKR team are seeking to "break the radio mould" which currently
threatens to strangle British radio and aim to provide a refreshing
breath of creative music radio. European Klassik Rock will feature a
playlist of over 4000 songs, which although computer controlled will
allow for a level of individual presenter input. Managing Director
Peter Leutner, who was formerly with LBC, said "We are seeking to
put the music back into radio. We firmly believe that EKR's rock
radio service will be appreciated by lovers of A.O.R. music who are
frustrated at hearing the same 500 rock songs played over and over
again by other stations".
EKR's Head of Music, former Invicta FM presenter Mark Stafford, said
"Although EKR's core artists will include familiar names such as Bryan
Adams, Eric Clapton, Queen, Bruce Springsteen,and David Bowie our
programming will feature a freshness and absence of repetition so
lacking in UK radio. The cornerstone of EKR's programming philosophy is
that almost 40 years of pop and rock music has produced far in excess of
the so called "1,000 strong songs" which have become the staple diet of
British radio in the late 90's. EKR's on-air slogan "Putting The Music
Back Into Radio" will mean just that, as we will unleash dozens and
dozens of great forgotten classics and new songs onto the radio. It
will be a refreshing listening experience".
>From 10pm until 6am, EKR's frequencies are taken over by "Night Tracks"
an adult contemporary service built around core artists such as, The
Lightening Seeds, Sting, Crowded House and Tina Turner. Night Tracks
will feature music from the mid-sixties to the present day. The service
will be "un-branded" making it an ideal live night-time sustaining
service
for any ILR station looking for a cost effective solution to filling the
night-time hours. A full IRN news service, UK and European weather and a
comprehensive live UK travel news service will be key items in the
programming.
Night Tracks will be available free to any station wishing to take the
service, however prior approval from EKR will be required. (For more
details contact the EKR Marketing Department on 01622 684484).
The EKR and Night Tracks line-up already consist of a number of
experienced ILR presenters, including Sony Radio Award Winner Glen
Thompsett and Mark Zeal, formerly with Fox FM. The station is looking
for a number of experienced presenters to join this team. Managing
Director, Peter Leutner said "We are looking for those talented
presenters who are currently frustrated by the high repetition and lack
of musical creativity so prevalent in ILR today. Presenters must really
care about our brand of music and be able to transfer that enthusiasm
to the listeners. Rap and Dance enthusiast need not apply!!".
In particular the station is looking to fill the challenging position of
Programme Controller and a number of other key shifts. Applicants should
apply in writing with full CV and demo tape to EKR, The Maidstone
Studios,Vinters Park, Maidstone, Kent, ME14 5NQ before 1st September
1997.

BIG L:
The 28 day Radio London RSL has now finished and by all accounts
it was a big hit with the listeners. The "Yeoman Rose" is to be
de-commissioned as a radio ship and to return as a coaster.
The estimated cost of the project seems to be quite high.
The "Yeoman Rose" is believed to have been hired for the 28 day's at
the cost of #10,000, the high powered professional transmitter that was
never used cost #1,000 for a months hire, the two caravans used for crew
sleeping were bought for only $100 each and will now be sold. The new
aerial tower cost #650 as did the stations generator. With operating
costs, PPS and PRL and everything else all this means that EAP have to
sell a lot of T-shirts, CD's, books etc to cover the cost. Of course it
wouldn't have been possible if not or the engineering staff that fitted
her out and kept it on the air for the full month, Andy Exx (former
Caroline south and SW pirate ABC England) Paul McLaren (Mellow 1557) and
Les and Peter (ex East London Radio and Offshore Radio 1584)
The transmitter that was used for the station was built in 1991 and was
used in a field to broadcast the programmes of "Radio Carousel" a
landbased pirate station from Essex between 1991-92. The rig was then
used for the first legal offshore station for 28 day's in the summer of
1992 on "Offshore Radio 1584" It has also been used for RSL's from
"East London Radio" (ELR) the former 1970's landbased pirate. It's a
phased locked loop MW FET Tx. RF variable output capable of max. 25
watts.
Rumors that it will happen again next year are already doing the rounds,
but maybe this time it will be 10 year tribute of Laser Hot Hits, with
Swinging Radio England at night. Other rumors are for a Radio Atlantis
RSL or this could have been EAP's swan-song !!!!!......We shall see.
A bet was made on Ray Anderson's show last Monday with Paul Rusling who
claimed that a high powered offshore radio station would start
broadcasting from the North-Sea within the next twelve months. Ray said
NO, Paul said YES and a bet for a #1,000 was made on the air. Does
Mr.Rusling know something Ray doesn't ??????
RFL's Tony Randall made many trips up to Walton over the past 28 days
and even took up a 1000 watt dummy load for the engineers to try and get
the big rig working. He also managed to get some voice overs for RFL
from Mark Roman, Duncan Johnson, Keith Sukes and Roger Day. On the last
day Tony went on air on the Roger Day show and a BIG plug was
given to Radio Free London and Roger was pleased to know it was still on
the air and remembers the station starting in 1968 and said he would
give it a listen his weekend. (wanna do a show Roger ?)

MEDIA-RELEASE
15 August 1997
The Australian DXing Federation has been established (ADXF), consisting
of the following Clubs and Group:
The Australian Radio DX Club Incorporated (ARDXC)
The South Pacific Union of DXers Incorporated (SPUD)
International Correspondence DX Group (ICDX)
The Federation was formed on 10 August 1997, at a meeting in Melbourne,
attended by the following Club representatives:
ARDXC: Allen Fountain, Keith Wilson;
SPUD: Lucio Coceani, Dieter Habicht;
ICDX: Robert Copeman, Chris Hambly;
Convenor: Bob Padula.
The Steering Committee is to meet within a month and draw up a
provisional set of Rules, for consideration and adoption as an initial
Working Document. Matters to be considered by the Steering Commitee
include:
* Form, frequency, and distribution methods of information
* Funding arrangements
* Eligibiity requirements
* Overall scope, charter and objectives
* Management and administration
* Statutory requirements
In establishing the Conference, the Clubs acknowledged the following
trends in the hobby movement in Australia:
(a) Declining interest by younger people
(b) Competing interests - computers and satellite technology
(c) Poor editorial support by members
(d) Radio media decreasing generally as a result of changing community
standards
(e) No collective "voice" or focus for the Australian Clubs
(f) Unwarranted duplication of voluntary, scarce editorial effort across
all Clubs, with many people being members of two or more Clubs
(g) No common hobby standards exist, for competitions or achievement
recognition
(h) Social activities require rationalization, such as meetings,
technical
site visits, conventions, and excursions.
(i) Overall membership is not increasing, many members stay for a year
or
two and leave, to be replaced by others
(j) Clubs competing against each other for new members in the same
geographical areas
(k) No coordinated or centralised approach to promotion, marketing,
contests or sales of publications and services
(l) Total membership of all Australian Clubs estimated to be about 500 -
this does not take into account the multiple memberships of some Clubs
by
many hobbyists - the actual numbers of people enrolled could be as low
as
300.
(m) No common linkages to equipment manufacturers, broadcasters,
frequency
planners, Government bodies, or program producers
Other outcomes of the Conference were:
(a) ADXF Clubs would immediately arrange hard-copy exchange of their
newsletters
(b) Worldwide Web sites to be cross-linked between all ADXF Clubs
(c) Provisional details of ADXF to be forwarded for inclusion in the
1998
World Radio TV Handbook
(d) ADXF to invite cooperation from other relevant Federations and
"umbrella" groups
(e) A common announcement be given in the next editions of the Club
newsletters about ADXF
(f) An ADXF Web Site is proposed
(g) Early contact to be be made with the Southern Cross DX Club Inc.
and
DXers' Calling Inc to advise those Clubs about ADXF and to invite their
cooperation and support
The ADXF has adopted the slogan "The Voice of Australian DXers"
A further Media Release will be issued in due course, via the Electronic
DX
Press distribution network. Federations and Club Associations are
invited
to contact EDXP without delay to indicate their interest in cooperation
with ADXF.
