BOLIVIA- Checking 6105 this morning, I found CP92, Radio Panamericana,
La Paz, with what sounded like an anthem at 1010 UT, followed by great
Andean cuecas and a time announcement between each tune. Signal was
building to a good level by 1022; zero-beat was at 6105.5 (John Cobb,

CANADA- Don't you believe that the Coalition to Restore Full RCI Funding
played no role at all in saving RCI, as implied by Ian McFarland in an
article in the September MONITORING TIMES making no reference whatsoever
to the Coaltion. In fact, we played a pivotal role, while Mr. McFarland
was no longer employed by RCI, and for two years was not even in Canada.

COSTA RICA- Some tidbits from James Latham on RFPI's XII Anniversary
Fiesta on the Air Sept 17 UT 0000-0400: George Thurman called in to
suggest RPFI should look into acquiring the 250 kW KGEI transmitter
which is in storage in Idaho, no plans for use by present owners. RFPI
plans a full-time UN channel, and to serve as a "rapid-response" service
to areas in crisis. Three-phase power line is now in place, amounting to
a $25K gift to UFP and RFPI, so there is no longer a power supply
obstacle to installing bigger transmitters. Looking at live streaming on
internet very soon; and distributing radio programs produced here by
mpeg files to a network of affiliates. This has been RFPI's most
difficult year. The four hour Fiesta and two hours leading up to it are
available at RFPI website < http://www.rfpi.org/webcast.html >(Glenn

FINLAND - As of Oct 30th, YLE Radio Finland will resume evening
broadcasts in English for the US and Canada, to be aired at 10 pm
Eastern (03.00 UT) on 9655 and 11655 kHz in the 31 and 25 mbs. (John
Figliozzi, USA)
GERMANY- Dear Feminine Readers and Masculine Readers: In the August
issue of DW-PLUS, I requested you to contribute towards the costs of our
magazine. As a result of budget cuts, we are no longer able to provide a
printed magazine every month, and will cease publishing DW- PLUS at the
end of the year. We have decided to return your voluntary contributions.
We intend expanding our DW-online service. (Dieter Weirich, DW
Intendant, Oct. DW Plus condensed by Hauser/ GH SHORTWAVE/DX REPORT
99-41, Sept. 23)
GERMANY- From Deutsche Welle's "Newslink", monitored 9/22/99 0125 UT:
600 DW employees made the journey from Cologne to Berlin to demonstrate
against proposed cuts in DW's budget totaling 54 million marks next year
and 89 million marks over the next three years. The employees couldn't
concentrate on a clear cut scapegoat. Speeches blamed bad government
policy, politicians uninformed about DW's important role in explaining
Germany to the world and unreasonable management policies in the face of
the mandated cuts on the part of DW management. They demanded, in turn,
a revision in the DW plans and a change in government policy that would
be consistent with the maintenance of DW's important role. The Social
Democratic Culture Minister, who addressed the demonstrators, defended
the cuts as part of the government's program of urgently needed reforms.
He rejected the charge that DW was shouldering a disproportionate burden
in this regard. He also said the government was not to blame for DW
management decisions that would eliminate 700 jobs. The report pointed
out that there was also an underlying political conflict between the
Social Democratic Culture Minister and the Christian Democratic Director
General of DW and speculated on whether this conflict was playing a role
in the current situation. Plans regarding the future of DW are to be
finalized in October. (John Figliozzi, USA)
IRAQ- Glenn, Listening to "Baghdad Radio Iraq International" (that's the
way that he announced it) as I type this today (Monday Sept 13) at 1900
UT in English on 11786.94 Khz. With it's usual lousy low and very
muffled and distorted/buzzy audio. Very hard to make much out. Frequency
announcement/ID was right at 1900 UT. Transmitter dropping out a number
of times just before 1900. Regards, (David Zantow, Janesville, WI, WORLD
OF RADIO 1003 SHORTWAVE/DX REPORT 99-40, Sept 16) That would be new time
for English, unless anomalous (Hauser / SHORTWAVE/DX REPORT 99-40, Sept
16 )
IRELAND- [non]. Re SW/DX Report 99-38 and 99-40: It looks to me like a
taping foul-up did occur. Let me theorise: RTE Radio 1 does indeed have
a show about the cornucopia of radio, called "The Wide World Of Radio".
In it, presenter Tim Lehane "selects some favourite (program) moments
from round the globe". In a recent day and time change of schedule the
show now goes out domestically on Saturday at 1705 UT, dislodging "News
and Weekend Sport". It was this latter program that Merlin had been
accustomed to taping from satellite and relaying later, UT next day 0130
on 6155. It looks like the Merlin folk forgot or did not know about the
altered RTE schedule that particular weekend (Finbarr O'Driscoll, Sep
17, Ireland, WORLD OF RADIO 1004/ GH SHORTWAVE/DX REPORT 99-41, Sept.
23)
IRELAND- [non]. The tx sites that RTE used for recent SW sport special
are confirmed here: Sackville: 13720 kHz to Nam --- Cypress Creek:
15240 kHz to C & Sam --- Taiwan: 15270 kHz to SE Asia --- Singapore:
15360 kHz to Australasia --- Meyerton: 21640 kHz to Africa --- Confirmed
start time: 1430 UT Sunday Sep 26 [football championship] (Finbarr
O'Driscoll, Sep 17, Ireland, WORLD OF RADIO 1004) NOTE: CYPRESS CREEK!
That's WSHB serving as relay for another station, quite a rarity
