Athens, Greece – November 17

During the historic uprising of the Polytechnic in November 1973, a crucial yet often under-recognised element of resistance was the clandestine radio transmitter operated from within the Polytechnic campus. The station, known by its opening words «Here Polytechnic, here Polytechnic!» (“Εδώ Πολυτεχνείο, Εδώ Πολυτεχνείο!”), was established inside the building of the National Technical University of Athens on 15 November 1973 and remained on air until the early hours of 17 November.link

From improvised laboratory-space studios in the electrical-mechanical departments, students and technicians constructed and operated transmitters which broadcast across Athens, giving voice to the barricaded students and calling for solidarity, resistance and freedom. Documenta 14+1 The announcers included voices such as Maria Damanaki and Dimitris Papachristos, who delivered slogans such as “Bread, Education, Freedom”, “Workers, farmers and students” and “Fascism dies tonight”. News 24/7+1

Technically speaking, the setup combined laboratory radio-transmitter modules with makeshift antennas, deployed under conditions of siege. Security measures were taken to avoid detection and shutdown by the regime’s forces. The broadcasts mixed urgent live appeals (“We are unarmed! We are unarmed! Students facing the tanks…”) with music and slogans, reinforcing the occupation’s morale and reaching listeners beyond the campus. News 24/7+1

The radio station thus became the “hidden heart” of the uprising: an audio lifeline linking the students inside with citizens outside, mobilising support and documenting events as they happened. According to participants, the language of the broadcasts was spontaneous, authentic, sometimes poetic, evolving rapidly from urgency to organized call-to-action. ert.gr The broadcasts ceased when the tanks breached the gate on the morning of 17 November, marking the violent suppression of the uprising.

In summary, the Polytechnic radio station played a pivotal technical and symbolic role: it transformed student occupation into a broadcasted mass resistance, circumventing censorship and dictatorship control. The ingenuity of its construction, the boldness of its operation and the rhetorical force of its content remain important chapters in the history of modern Greek democracy.

Today’s Ceremonies – Very Brief Info
Today, 17 November, the anniversary of the uprising, official commemorations take place at the Polytechnic gate and along the traditional march route. Universities and schools observe memorial events; crowds gather at midday for speeches, wreath-laying and moments of silence. Security and transport measures are in effect in central Athens.

From now and for an unknown time, at least for 3years, I will not use any radio except the remote SDRs for DXing. Recently wemoved from the village back to the city in a space that prohibits the use ofdesktop DXing, a place flooded by high levels of noise in the LMHF bands. Theradio is now used mostly for FM, for news listening.we run politically livelycondition with always very interesting twits every day ..

** CHINA. 21800, Nov 16 at 0113, Chinese at S9/+10! Strongest I`ve
heard this CNR1 jammer against Sound of Hope, and the SSOB by far,
only some JBA carriers otherwise. First checked 11m where Firedraxe
were reported a month ago by Craig Seager, Australia around 0230 on
25730 & 25910, but none. Other JBACs, or some with JBA Chinese, mostly
with Doppler flutter, likely all or mostly jammers too during
0115-0122 bandscan: 21750, 21645, 21550, 21490, 18970, 18900, 16160,
16100, 15970, 15920, 15800, 15775, 14920, 13920; skipping all the
carriers inband 17 & 15 MHz (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5990, Nov 16 at 0050, CRI relay is S9+30 but extremely
suptorted, music audible only at modulation peaks. Something`s always
wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6000, Nov 16 at 0051, RHC S9+10/20 of dead air, or JBM? Could
be trace of Turkey before 0100 start, rather than tail of Beijing
until 0100, late for that. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [non]. 7365, Nov 16 at 0044, strong dead air, presumably R.
Martí should be modulating as it is on 7435 and 9565, active into a
weekend evening UT Sunday, not on 6030. Something`s goofy at
Grimesland. Next check at 0428 during music, VG into Georgia SDR on
6030, 7355, 7435 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EAST TURKISTAN. 5060, 4980, 4850, 4500, 3990, Nov 16 at 0047, JBA
carriers as PBS Xinjiang has made the big switch to winter
frequencies, along the grayline. Even tho no modulation pulled, this
set of five frequencies could not possibly be anything else. Language
services respectively are Chinese, Uighur, Kazakh, Mongolian, Uighur.
All of these are still missing from current Aoki & EiBi! Except 3990
listed as PBS Gannan instead. HFCC has them all from Urumqi, some 50,
some 100 kW, some direxional, some non. Home services from the land of
imperialist ChiCom genocide against Uighurs and other Moslems (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MEXICO. 690, Nov 16 at 0101, romantic song in Spanish best on N/S
rather than E/W antenna, likely XEN CDMX, 100/5 kW, El Fonógrafo
rather than usual KGGF KS dominator (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6960 USB, Nov 16 at 0052, pirate music S5/S7. Not
enough to recognize as Rachmaninov, as others report Rachmaninoff
Radio, 0036-0104*:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,153813.0.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6955 USB, Nov 16 at 0053, pirate music S9/+10, much
stronger than 6960. These say it`s Outhouse Radio:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
