Radio New Zealand is celebrating 60 years of international shortwave
broadcasting and as part of their observances, they have an
informative program by David Riquish, regarding the future of SW radio
in the Pacific (audio at <
http://www.radionz.co.nz/specialfeatures/RNZI60th#live >), which I
heard on September 30, on 15720. I found the second half of the
program to be the most interesting, as David was talking to a
frequency manager. Found out that they no longer need reception
reports from listeners, as they have remote monitoring receivers on
various island that they can tune in via the Internet/computer to hear
firsthand how their signal is heard and they will be adding even more
of these monitoring receivers to different new locations in the
Pacific. They also are part of the partnership with IBB, a branch of
VOA, which provides access to even more remote controlled receivers in
even more distant locations around the world. The comment was made
that SW was still needed for maybe 15-20 years in the Pacific, until
the Internet is more firmly established. The observation was made that
"crisis radio" was still very much needed in the event local radio
stations went off due to cyclones.

Overall an excellent presentation!
