CORTINA MUSICAL
Let’s start with some hearings:
Clandestine broadcaster Radio Itakuha, for Burundi, could be picked up via a transmitter located in Talata, Madagascar, on April 1, between 1800 and 1900 on 15420 KHZ, with 250 KW, airing programs for Southwest Africa, in Kirundi language. The station only broadcasts on Saturdays.
AUDIO No. 1
Religious station Lutheran World Federation, or Voice of Gospel, was picked up from the transmitters in Issoudun, France, between 1830 and 1900 on 15315 KHZ; with 500 KW, and programs in Fulfulde language.
Another interesting broadcaster is Radio ERGO, for Somalia, via transmitters in Dhabayya, United Arab Emirates. The station could be picked up between 1200 and 1300 on 17485 KHZ with 250 KW for Eastern Africa. They broadcast 7 days a week.
AUDIO No. 2
We continue with Africa. We’ve got now some hearings by Spanish colleague Manuel Méndez, from Lugo. He reports:
Radio Mali, from Bamako, on 5995 KHZ, between 1849-1910 UTC, in French and vernacular.
Voice of Nigeria, via transmitter in Ikorodu, on 7255 KHZ between 1830 and 1845 in vernacular.
And finally, Radio Hargeisa from Somalia, on 7120 KHZ between 1839 and 1847, in vernacular.
AUDIO No. 3
Now some news from our country.
Recently, the National Communications Authority ENACOM, ruled in favor of Perfil, a publishing and media company, that had bidded for obtaining a broadcasting license that used to belong to former Radio America.
The decision was informed by the board of ENACOM, that chairs Miguel De Godoy.
AUDIO No. 4
Perfil owns a building at the Edition and Design Cluster of BA City, built to house a newspaper, magazines, websites, two TV channels and two radio stations, one AM and another FM.
The project of having a radio airing only news is linked to the history of the now defunct Radio America.
Impresario Eduardo Eurnekian had bought it back in 1989, and he changed the name to América from Radio Antarctica. It had been also called Malvinas Argentinas and Radio Phoenix, when it was originally established in the 1920s.
24-hour news stations are successful in various countries, but so far, in Argentina, there’s nothing like that.
In Brazil, for instance, the prestigious CBN, Brazilian News Central, is third in ratings in the South American giant.
The oldest broadcaster of this kind is New York’s AM1010 WIns, that marked 50 years broadcasting only news in 2015.
CORTINA MUSICAL
We have now very sad news, that will be a blow to everybody linked to the world of shortwaves.
Reverend José Holowaty died last March 26, as Swedish DXer Henrik Klemetz reports to us.
Holowaty’s characteristic voice was transmitted via the now defunct KGEI Short Wave station in San Francisco, US.
AUDIO No. 6
Holowaty had been living in Paraguay, where he created Radio Broadcasting America.
On the remarkable site: programasdx.com, there’s a file by Rubén Margenent from KGEI.
On July 31, 1994, KGEI, the Voice of Friendship was coming off the air for good.
But a little earlier, in 1991, they had broadcast programs tailored for DXers. The segments were only five minutes long, but they were aired several times a day. On 1305, 0335, 0705 on 9615 kHz and 0005 on 15280 kHz, produced and hosted by...
