It may seem that 2019 is another year in the decline of medium wave broadcasting but it is interesting to note that new stations are still appearing; for example the new Silk Road project from TWR, and right now a new transmitter is opening up in Algeria. Over the last solar cycle the complexion of the MW band has changed significantly in Europe, with the loss of many of the highest power stations all across central Europe and Scandinavia. This is obviously not great news for DXers outside Europe looking for European catches. But it has opened up many frequencies for European DXers to explore in detail. This combined with the latest technology and a quiet Sun continues to provide some excellent DX reception in the UK and Europe. Long may it continue – the latest solar research suggests that it might (see page 11). Trip down memory lane Amongst the hordes of videos of cats, epic fails and videos by influencers one can find some interesting gems on Youtube. One such tells the story of the BBC transmitter development at Droitwich in the Midlands. https://youtu.be/7hr4xwpZYJ0 No high visibility jackets or hard hats in those days! Another is an interesting tour of KFI 640 in California hosted by two generations of engineers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qnvmf8mPUW8 The US government still sees the long term value of MW as an emergency communications medium – though what happens if nobody knows how to tune a MW radio dial? Interesting reading Mark Durenberger advises that the 2019 Seattle DX "Papers" and slides are now uploaded to: http://durenberger.com/convention-papers/ (scroll down to lower half of page and you will see audio and Powerpoint presentations from the IRCA Convention. You’ll find features such as DXing in Japan, Rockworks Greatest Hits, Innovative Ferrite Antennas and much more. Have you ever wondered how to build a transmitter than can produce FM, AM, SSB, SSTV and FSQ at any frequency from 130kHz to 750MHz. And all for 50 quid? Then check out this interesting article; https://www.rtl-sdr.com/transmitting-fm-am-ssb-sstv-and-fsq-with-just-a- raspberry-pi/ US/Canadian radiation patterns Anyone interested in listening to obscure signals from North America will be aware that many (most?) use sophisticated antennas to radiate their signals as effectively as possible in selected directions whilst minimising unwanted signal in directions where interference might be caused. For some years now William Scott has been producing his online resource US-CA Pattern Reference. This synthesises radiation patterns for daytime/night-time and critical hours using transmitter/antenna parameters published by the FCC and Industry Canada. There is a fully scalable map for each MW channel showing “all” stations overlaid on Google maps. The 2019 version is downloaded from https://radio-timetraveller.blogspot.com/ but it is a big 52MByte file. Medium Wave News 65/07 3 December 2019 Example of a plot: 700kHz daytime coverage showing two coverage contours around each transmitter; 1mV/m and 0.1mV/m I noticed that the 2019 version omits station in Newfoundland. Bill advises me that is working hard on the 2020 update, writing, “The Newfoundland and Nova Scotia stations have been missing from day one due to a bug in my extraction software which extracts technical info off the Industry Canada .dbf database. That has been fixed just a month or so ago. I've also now incorporated all of Canada's low power stations, mostly 40 watters.” “My plan is to make another pattern map run after the Christmas holidays, sometime in January, with all the latest data of course. It's a time consuming process which takes quite a bit of pre- process preparation. The actual run time is approximately 10-12 hours of computer time.” “Last summer and fall were dedicated to enhancing both the groundwave and skywave calculations, trying for a little better accuracy.” New updated software for DXers DXtreme Software™ has released a new version of its popular logging program for radio monitoring enthusiasts - DXtreme Monitor Log 12 - which lets listeners and DXers log the stations they’ve heard using features that enhance their monitoring experiences. You can find full details of this powerful and comprehensive piece software here: https://www.dxtreme.com/prods_ml.htm where it can be purchased online. Some of its main features are: Finding Broadcast Stations to Monitor using schedules & databases Finding Amateur Radio Stations to Monitor; Monitor Log 12 integrates with optional Afreet Band Master to let users see, on its graphical interface, where hams are operating. Logging Stations: Monitor Log 12 lets users log all kinds of stations - radio, television, broadcast,Amateur Radio, utility, military, and more! And it lets users log stations across the radio spectrum - from long wave, to medium wave, to short wave, and beyond. Medium Wave News 65/07 4 December 2019 Reporting Reception: Users can create customized paper and e-mail reception reports for sending to stations plus club report entries for reporting catches to clubs and magazines and social media. Users can also print SWL and Address labels on industry-standard label stock, and send eQSL requests to hams automatically via the popular https://www.eqsl.cc site. Imaging: Improv Imaging lets users associate ad hoc images with log entries using Capture, Scan, and Clipboard functions. Captures of stations received on digital applications, waterfall displays, facsimile and Amateur TV pictures are popular. QSL Imaging facility functions the same as Improv Imaging for associating QSLs. Rig Control; Retrieves the frequency and mode from supported radios and permits tuning from the Schedule Checker and Direct Tune interface. Rig control is provided through integration with Afreet Omni-Rig and SDR applications like HDSDR, SDR Console, and SDRuno. Audio Archiving - Lets users maintain an audio archive of stations heard. Phew! That’s a lot in one box. Help needed Roger Bunney writes seeking assistance, “I have obtained an Icom R71e and wonder if there are any reprints about this receiver as it was once favoured as a DXing weapon. If reprints are still around I'd be pleased to pay for a copy of them to gain a little background of this receiver. The receiver was from an e-bay source which from experience one takes a chance.

El Dane entregará este jueves el dato sobre la inación para el mes de septiembre, indicador clave para medir el estado de la economía, en especial el costo de sectores coyunturales como los alimentos. El año pasado, el costo de vida de los colombianos fue de 0,05%. Sin embargo, algunos estudios como el de Fedesarrollo, señalan que los analistas del mercado esperan un incremento en la denominada inación anualizada, la cual quedaría según estos expertos, en 4%.

  • Jazz and Radio in the United States: Mediation, Genre, and Patronage
    Jazz and Radio in the United States: Mediation, Genre, and Patronage Aaron Joseph Johnson Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2014 © 2014 Aaron Joseph Johnson All rights reserved ABSTRACT Jazz and Radio in the United States: Mediation, Genre, and Patronage Aaron Joseph Johnson This dissertation is a study of jazz on American radio. The dissertation's meta-subjects are mediation, classification, and patronage in the presentation of music via distribution channels capable of reaching widespread audiences. The dissertation also addresses questions of race in the representation of jazz on radio. A central claim of the dissertation is that a given direction in jazz radio programming reflects the ideological, aesthetic, and political imperatives of a given broadcasting entity. I further argue that this ideological deployment of jazz can appear as conservative or progressive programming philosophies, and that these tendencies reflect discursive struggles over the identity of jazz. The first chapter, "Jazz on Noncommercial Radio," describes in some detail the current (circa 2013) taxonomy of American jazz radio. The remaining chapters are case studies of different aspects of jazz radio in the United States. Chapter 2, "Jazz is on the Left End of the Dial," presents considerable detail to the way the music is positioned on specific noncommercial stations. Chapter 3, "Duke Ellington and Radio," uses Ellington's multifaceted radio career (1925-1953) as radio bandleader, radio celebrity, and celebrity DJ to examine the medium's shifting relationship with jazz and black American creative ambition.
