Stoppdatum: MV-Eko Stoppdatum Huvudredaktör Nr 20 15 maj TL tips. Info och QSL resp red. e-post: tore.larsson@beta.telenordia.se Nr 58/1 3 juli (prel) TL tips. Info och QSL resp red. Nr 2 7 augusti (prel) TL tips. Info och QSL resp red.

Hej! Säsongen sjunger nu på sista versen, en säsong som för de aktiva har gett många trevliga hörigheter och QSL. Att döma av antalet bidrag till detta nummer har aktiviteten emellertid nu gått ned något.

Detta är sista numret innan vårt konvent, skall bli trevligt att ses. Om du inte redan anmält dig finns ytterligare en chans nu i kväll, ring eller maila BE eller HM! I skrivande stund är vi 20 medlemmar inbokade samt 2 inbjudna gäster.

Vi vill naturligtvis inte göra reklam för alkoholhaltiga drycker här i MVE, men vi vill heller inte undan- hålla våra medlemmar att det finns ett nytt spanskt vin med det passande namnet ”Radio Boca”. Vinet har fått fint betyg i pressen. Det är t.v. en beställningsvara. Solrapport för mars 2017 från OA De senaste två veckorna har gått i aprilvädrets omväxlande anda. Först röda staplar med k-index 5 eller 6 från koronahål och sedan flera dagar med flares och hög strålningsaktivitet. Fluxen för mars blev 74,6, vilket är svagt nedåtgående. Solfläckstalet blev 17,7, vilket är ett skutt nedåt. Månadsvärden under 20 har hittills varit ovanliga. Slutligen medelvärdet för A-index, som blev hela 14,8. Bakom detta ligger upprepade stora koronahål. Siffervärden från Alvestads sida.

QSL: * JOZB (NHK) Matsuyama-1539 kHz – RÅM * KGHS International Falls MN-1230 kHz – JOB * KGLB Glencoe MN-1310 kHz – JOB * KRAC Red Bluff CA-1370 kHz – JOB * KQV Pittsburgh PA-1410 kHz – RÅM och KGNB New Braunfels TX-1420 kHz – JOB Bilaga: * Mellanvåg i störd miljö med ALA1530 och Perseus/Jaguar kombination – GN

ARC önskar alla medlemmar en riktig GLAD PÅSK! Så ses vi i Jönköping den 6-7 maj!

� Från e-posten Jan Edh 29.3.2017: Ännu en natt, 26-27.3, med störda och tämligen magra konditioner i Fredriksfors. Långa perioder var bandet praktiskt taget tomt och vid 02 UTC hittade jag inget annat med id-bar signal än 1190 UCSG men den gick desto bättre... Vid 04 UTC och fram mot soluppgången väldigt fina signaler från ett antal colombianer, men inget “spännande”.

Arne Nilsson 9.4.2017: Det börjar närma sig slutet på denna säsong och conds har förändrats. Jag har inte haft en enda vettig loggning från NA de senaste 2 veckorna. Däremot en massa ARG/URG/PRG igen. PRU och EQU nästan frånvarande (förutom de allra vanligaste PRU!). Jag gissar att jag släcker ner utrustningen i början av maj, eller då första åskvädren börjar synas på SMHI's radarsida. Sedan blir det väl dags att kolla över antennerna igen.

Odd Påg 9.4.2017: En del LA har det varit sista tiden även om cx inte direkt varit i topp, som alltid en del oid. Man får upp allt tidigare om man skall passa morgontoppen, detta är inget problem för mej ännu, lite mer obekvämt i juni!

Fredrik Dourén 9.4.2017: NA har ersatts med La Plata nu vilket är skoj.

Thomas Nilsson 10.4.2017: Efter flera dagar med mycket mediokra signaler öppnades det upp en kort stund den 6/4 vid cirka 0345 UTC. En dröse med Colombianer gick ganska bra fram till 0410 då de började dö ut. Även några stationer från Dominikanska Republiken på X-bandet gick förvånansvärt bra samtidigt.

ARC NEWS FROM THE BRITISH ISLES 10/4 2017 ———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

Commercial Radio News Format Change for Stations? …………………………………………………26 February, 2017 All local and regional commercial radio stations in the UK could easily change music format and network 24/7 if new proposals by the government are approved.

The Department of Culture Media and Sport believes that music requirements in radio formats – other than where they apply to national analogue licences – now serve very little purpose and simply act as a barrier to stations wanting to experiment with the types of music they want to play.

The Commercial Radio Deregulation Consultation, published today, wants to hear views on a package of changes to the current regulatory regime for commercial radio, which aim to bring the analogue and digital licensing arrangements into line. (currently the restrictions for FM/AM stations do not apply to DAB services.)

The proposals include replacing Ofcom’s obligation to secure a range and choice of radio services with a new duty to secure the provision of news and other core information. All current format requirements which stipulate where local radio stations are broadcast from, and how many hours per day can be shared, could be ripped up, provided that the local news/etc content continues to be relevant to listeners in their coverage area and that stations continue to source local news from within the existing editorial areas defined by Ofcom.

There’s also a question over whether Ofcom should continue to licence any more FM stations, instead concentrating on DAB multiplexes (www.radiotoday.co.uk) Commercial Radio increases advertising revenue ……………………………….4 March, 2017 Commercial radio is celebrating a record-breaking year for advertising revenue, boosted by increased investment in the medium by online retailers.

Figures from Radiocentre show that commercial radio took £645.8 million in ad revenue in 2016, its highest ever figure. This represents a 5.4% increase on the previous year, outperforming the total 2016 advertising industry growth estimate of 4.4% from the Advertising Association/WARC. The fourth quarter of 2016 was also the biggest on record with advertisers, growing 7.7% to £181.1 million, beating the previous record fourth quarter of £168.4 million in 2003.

Ebay increased its radio spend by 600% to £5 million in 2016, whilst ASDA and Morrisons continue to be big supporters of the medium, with spends of £9.8 and £7.1 million respectively. Sky remains the largest UK radio with spend of £19.4 million.

The motor industry, retail, entertainment and leisure, finance and government remain the biggest sectors for radio advertising but the medium was also boosted by a 90% growth in spend from online retailers, almost doubling from £6.5 million in 2015 to £12.4 million in 2016.

Siobhan Kenny, CEO of Radiocentre says: “These figures show that commercial radio is in great shape. Advertisers continue to value the reach, effectiveness and impact of radio and are making the most of its ability to reach far and wide. (www.radiotoday.co.uk)

Other News Over fifty radio stations have now confirmed they will participate in this years’ Local Radio Day event. On the day itself, 26th May, local radio stations will celebrate local radio engagement in the areas and communities they broadcast to.

Local Radio Day will be reflected by all areas of the radio industry, from the charitable, community and commercial sector through to BBC Local Radio. Paul Jenner from BBC Radio Oxford said on confirming the radio station would be participating: “We’re delighted to support Local Radio Day. Every day, we’re live across Oxfordshire reflecting our different communities, including historic Oxford and rural towns like Chipping Norton and Witney. On Local Radio Day itself, we’ll be broadcasting from as many areas as possible in the county, hearing people’s stories and getting listeners involved in their local radio station.”

Dave Coull, Group Content Director at UKRD added: “I am delighted with the number of proper local radio stations that have already signalled they will be participating in Local Radio Day this year. All of which are uniquely placed to deliver content, on-air, online and on-the- street that specifically appeals to the area and communities they serve” (www.radiotoday.co.uk) Irish News Irish Radio Stations advertising rules questioned ……………………………….8 March, 2017 Dublin MEP, Brian Hayes has called on the European Commission to revise the rules concerning radio adverts.

The Fine Gael MEP wants to see the end of lengthy “terms & conditions” read at a fast pace on radio adverts. A simple message directing listeners to a website for further information makes better sense.

“The Consumer Credit Directive requires that standard information be provided in any advertising concerning credit agreements. Irish radio stations are losing revenue from this Brussels red tape requirement. The best examples are adverts for bank loans, new cars and insurance products. Radio advertising is severely disadvantaged as it does not have the visual element enjoyed by other media sources such as print, web and television.”

“When you see an advert on TV from a car manufacturer, the legal requirements for that advert are displayed in small print throughout the advert. This includes information such as the percentage of the loan interest and the required deposit. The same applies for adverts in newspapers and online.”

“Radio adverts are different. In order for radio stations to comply, they are required to read out the terms and conditions of every advert. This requirement means that a company who purchases 40 seconds of advertising can actually only advertise for 20 seconds as the remainder of the advert is filled with terms and conditions.”

“I believe the European Commission needs to revise the rules. I have written today to Vice President Timmermans, Head of Better Regulation to investigate this matter.”

“Consumers would be better advised if a simple message at the end of the advert directing them to a website was announced,” concluded MEP Hayes. RTÉ has agreed to continue its longwave 252 until June 2019 ………………...13 March, 2017 After that, RTÉ hopes Radio 1 will gain approval from UK authorities to launch via a chain of small broadcast networks which cover main urban centres. Currently, a broadcaster has to be based in the UK to obtain an Ofcom licence.

RTÉ says using the DAB+ platform will be considerably less (approx. one fifth) than the present quarter of a million per annum that RTÉ expends in running costs for 252.

Minister of State for the Diaspora, Joe McHugh T.D., has welcomed the recommendations: “I am delighted that there is now a way forward that takes into account as much as possible the views of older members of the Irish community in Britain. I have committed to making a contribution to this via the Government of Ireland Emigrant Support Programme. The research we funded on this issue has made clear that RTÉ Radio is a fantastic resource for Irish people in Britain. I’d like also to acknowledge the leadership the Irish community in Britain has shown on this.”

RTÉ plan to launch a service on DAB+ digital radio modelled from RTÉ Radio 1 and to work with stakeholders to maintain contact with the Irish community in Britain. Details of this service are still being worked out but it is likely to include a limited amount of new targeted programming commissioned for audiences in Britain. As a terrestrial radio service this is subject to regulatory approval in the UK.

The UK Government is currently in consultation about deregulating the radio industry, including the option to have a foreign company hold a radio licence. (www.irishpost.co.uk)

KGHS International Falls MN – 1230 kHz

-- Hello Jan, greetings from the United States!

I can confirm that you have successfully DX'd KGHS AM

in International Falls, Minnesota.

I Falls (as we call it) is on the Canadian border and is a tourist destination

for hunters and fishermen.

KGHS AM plays oldies (music from the 60's) and is no longer one of

our stations but I wanted to respond to your DX.

Both my wife (who is Swedish and Dutch) and myself (Norwegian)

are Scandinavian in heritage so it's always fun to hear from fellow

Northern Europeans.

Good luck in future DX efforts, sounds like you have a wonderful family.

Take care,

KGLB Glencoe MN – 1310 kHz

hi jan, from the audio you sent, it clearly says kglb…the rest is not really clear enough to make out, however, in that there is only one kglb 1310 in the u.s., it is our station. The part of the audio i can make out is definitely a “liner” identifying the station. Kglb 1310 classic hit country.” Is the “moniker.” The music and dj’s are from a “network” and we insert local news, sports, weather, and other programming into our computer system that will air at scheduled times during the day. Kglb is one of three stations that we (ingstad broadcasting) operate in the same area… kglb AM 1310, kduz AM 1260, and karp FM 106.9. We have a web site that is the same for all three (kduz.com, kglb1310.com, and karpradio.com). kglb has a studio in glencoe, mn, but we also do “local” recording at our studios in hutsingson, mn. The hutsingson studio is home of kduz and karp…and also, as mentioned, some kglb stuff. We also have free apps for all three stations which, i assume, allows anyone anywhere in the world to listen…maybe not russia or china or north korea… i don’t know. Anyway…thanks for the email!!! Stay in touch if you wish! -mark wodarczyk news director/announcer etc. kduz/karp/kglb radio
