34.0. "Shortwave transmissions" by GYCSC1::ORA () Wed Jan 15 1986 03:01

  Don't know if anyone of you knows, or is even interested, but
  at least Radio Finland, Radio Sweden, and Radio Norway have
  shortwave transmissions in English.
  
  I can't say any of the frequencies off the top of my head now,
  but they can be found out (best source is the latest edition
  of World Radio & TV Handbook).
  
  The only catch is that we are very close to the minimum of the
  11-year sunspot cycle, which makes shortwave propagation extremely
  bad. The end of the cycle is forecast for the end of this year;
  from then on, things can only get better.
  
  If anyone is interested I can try to find out (I don't have the
  latest WRTH but a question in the SWL notesfile might get an
  answer).
  
  The Nordic countries will also soon launch a TV satellite, which
  will be the first or second European direct broadcasting satellite.
  That means it can be received in its target area (Scandinavia)
  with a dish as small as 75 - 90 cm (as opposed to the 10 - 12
  foot dishes you see in the States). Unfortunately, I don't think
  it can be received in the States even with one of the large dishes.

    I would be interested in finding the frequencies for Radio Finland
    and Radio Norway.  I have the frequency schedule for Sweden and
    will write it later on into the notesfile.

 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
    Welcome to edition 2076 of Sweden Calling DXers. This week we'll finish
    our look back at media news from 1989, and look forward into the future
    of technology.
 
 EUROPEAN SATELLITE TELEVISION--1989 was a major year in European satellite
 television, with much of the future of broadcasting in the continent being
 laid. It was the year of direct broadcast satellites (DBS). When the year
 began two had just been launched, but were not yet in regular service. By the
 end of the year there were 6 direct broadcast satellites over Europe.
 
 The most exciting was Astra, a Pan-European satellite offering 16 channels,
 all of which were allocated by year's end. No less than 4 transponders are
 being used by Sky Television for various channels. Unfortunately, at the last
 moment Sky decided to save costs on performing rights, and beam its channels
 to Britain only. Sky had been very popular in the Benelux and Scandinavia.
 Britain, on the other hand, has little cable-TV and dish sales have been
 slow. Surveys indicate a major drop in Sky viewership.
 
 Sky's potentially biggest competitor is British Satellite Broadcasting, who's
 Marco Polo satellite was launched in August. BSB aims to beam 5 channels of
 
 movies, sports, entertainment and news direct into British homes. But the
 special flat satellite antennas marketed for BSB have been slow showing up in
 the shops. BSB was due to go on the air in September. Because of the delay in
 marketing reception equipment, the service is now due to start early this
 year.
 
 Europe's first DBS was the French TDF-1. In May the transponders for the
 satellite were allocated. The television channels will be: Canal Plus in both
 French and German, Sport 2/3, the cultural channel La Sept, and the
 children's channel Canal Enfants, which will be sharing its transponder with
 the music program Euromusique.
 
 Other European DBS birds launched during 1989 were the West German TVSAT-2
 and Kopernicus, and the European Olympus, and the Swedish Tele-X. Confusion
 continued over Tele-X, as no customers have yet been found for its two TV
 channels. A secret report by the Swedish Space Corporation, leaked to the
 press in mid-December, proposed one commercial channel and one pay-TV
 channel. Swedish Television has been studying a plan for a pay channel via
 Tele-X.
 
 1989 was also the year Swedish Television lost its monopoly, and the first
 year commercials in Swedish appeared on TV screens here. New Year's Eve, 1988
 saw the first broadcast of the private London-based channel TV3, which later
 
 switched over to Astra. With the rapid expansion of cable networks in Sweden,
 TV3 soon became the most popular satellite channel here, and gained much
 publicity by successfully outbiding Swedish Television for some popular
 sporting events.
 
 TV3's mother company also started it's own pay-TV channel towards the end of
 the year. Called TV 1000, the new station also uses Astra.
 
 Another new station, Nordic Channel, had problems when Swedish Telecom
 suddenly announced in early December that it would no longer be able to use
 the ECS-1 satellite. At the last minute Nordic Channel was able to move over
 to ECS-4, since FilmNet had moved to Astra.
 
 Two more Swedish satellite channels emerged during 1989. SF Succe is a pay
 channel owned jointly by Sweden's biggest newspaper, film and publishing
 group, along with Warner Brothers from the United States. It went on the air
 on December 1st, using an Intelsat satellite, putting it out of the reach of
 home dish owners.
 
 The other channel, TV4, is owned by powerful business interests and has hired
 some major names in Swedish broadcast journalism. It's not due to go on the
 air until the latter half of 1990.
 
 1990 marks the 10th anniversary of the Cable News Network, the world's first
 global TV broadcaster. CNN is now available in 85 countries. It is
 distributed to 52 million households in the United States and some 5 million
 in Europe. In August 1989 CNN began 24 hour a day transmissions from Soviet
 satellites to Africa, the Middle East, South Asia, and the Far East.
 
 Looking into future of global television, broadcasts from Japan are about to
 appear on European screens. A consortium of major Japanese broadcasters,
 including the public NHK and private Nippon TV, TV Tokyo, and Fuji TV, are
 renting a transponder on Astra. The commercial channel will share the
 transponder used for Lifestyle.
 
 SATELLITE-RADIO--In North America satellite radio channels have been
 available for years. In 1989 satellite radio grew enormously in Europe.
 France has already made use of its Telecom satellites to relay French public
 and private broadcasters around France and to overseas territories. The new
 TDF-1 satellite has made three Radio France radio channels available across
 Europe: Radio France International, France Musique and France Culture.
 
 Radio France International joins two other shortwave broadcasters on
 satellite--the BBC World Service and VOA Europe. A number of new music-
 oriented satellite broadcasters have also appeared, such as Sky Radio,
 available from several transponders on Astra. Radio Luxembourg is also using
 Astra for a new satellite radio service.
 
 TELECOMMUNICATIONS IN THE FUTURE--A year ago we presented some ideas about
 the future of telecommunications. It might be useful to review some of those
 thoughts now.
 
 We proposed a shortwave "Walkman", a pocket SW receiver, with digital read-
 out, a built-in active antenna, and the antenna itself in the headphone cord,
 as is done with pocket FM receivers. The closest thing so far is the Sony SW-
 1. However, the active antenna included in that package is far too large. And
 even if you skip the active antenna, you still wind up with a half meter long
 rod antenna sticking up out of your pocket!
 
 The January 1990 issue of the Japanese magazine "My Wave" reveals a new Sony
 creation that still isn't a shortwave Walkman, but is very exciting. The ICR-
 SW700 comes with four credit card sized cards that are inserted into the
 receiver. Each card offers 10 memory channels on each side, acting as memory
 buttons for major broadcasters. The receiver comes with 4 cards, for BBC/VOA,
 for Radio Australia/Radio Japan, for Radio Beijing/Radio Korea/Radio
 Moscow/Deutsche Welle/Voice of Free China, and a fourth card that can be
 programmed for any 20 channels.
 
 The idea is wonderful. It's uncertain how sensitive and selective the ICR-
 SW700 is, but it is inexpensive, only around USD 100. It's somewhat larger
 than the popular Sony ICF-7600/2002 (189 x 116 x 45 mm). So it's time to
 refine our future receiver vision. This pocket-sized wonder mentioned above
 should also come with insertable cards with databases of all international
 broadcasts to a particular part of the world in a particular language. Since
 the receiver should include a clock, it should also keep track of which
 stations are currently on the air, and offer a choice, choosing which of the
 programmed frequencies is strongest.
 
 TELEPHONES ON THE MOVE--In recent weeks the price of cellular telephones has
 finally dropped in Sweden, although these units are still far more expensive
 here than in other Western countries. (For example, the cheapest pocket unit
 here costs around USD 2670, while similar units in the United States cost
 around USD 600.) A European-wide cellular telephone network called GSM is due
 to start in 1991. Using digital techniques, it may be less extensive at
 first, but it ought to be in full operation by around 1995.
 
 Meanwhile the development continues of the "poor man's cellular telephone",
 the second and third generation of cordless phones. The second generation,
 CT-2, has already begun limited operation in Britain. Users carry pocket
 units which can be used to make calls through transmitters called Telepoints.
 Unlike the much more expensive cellular units, the new cordless phones are
 only outgoing, they cannot receive calls. Within a few years the third
 generation, an all-European cordless phone, or CT-3, should be ready.
 Operating in the 1.6 GHz region, final specifications are due to be adopted
 at the end of 1991.
 
 Nowadays you can attach a pocket computer, like the little Atari Portfolio,
 to a radio modem and a small transmitter, each the size of a package of
 cigarettes, to transmit and receive packet radio messages around the world on
 the amateur radio bands. In the not-too-distant future  you'll be able to
 attach that same pocket computer to a cordless telephone for wireless
 telephone contact with international databases and electronic mail services
 from anywhere in the world.
 
 THE FUTURE OF TECHNOLOGY--Let's look ahead at where communications technology
 is going. The following is by Reuters Science Correspondent Catherine Arnst:
 
 "The symbol for technology at the decade's end is the video cassette recorder
 sitting in six out of 10 households in the Western world, its digital clock
 blinking away, unset.
 
 "The inability of so many consumers to set that clock represents the
 challenge facing the electronics industry at the dawn of the 1990's.
 
 "Technology innovators spent the past ten years astounding the world with
 machines that were ever smaller, faster, smarter, and stronger. Now they have
 to come up with a reason for people to buy them.
 
 "Engineers and social scientists recognise that the pace of technological
 change has outstripped people's ability to adapt to it, and this awareness is
 creating a transformation in the way the electronics industry is approaching
 new research and development."
 
 Some predictions from Reuters: In the realm of computers, further development
 of the handheld units already available, with advances in flat screens,
 battery technology, and ever-smaller memory chips. High definition
 television, with movie quality pictures. Digital sets with computers built in
 will permit watching two, four, or even six channels at once, and interfacing
 with the cable network for access to computer information services. For voice
 communications, pocket mobile telephones will replace the wired version as
 satellite technology is developed. Fixed phones will be used for video,
 entertainment, and teletext. Data transmission over fiber optic networks will
 lead to the development of picture phones by the mid-1990's.
 
 THE DARK SIDE OF TECHNOLOGY--There is a dark side to the continuing
 improvements in technology. "Omni" magazine recently asked a number of
 experts for their views of the future.
 
 While the science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke commented: "By the year
 1995 the Soviet Union will have taken glasnost into the heavens and helped
 lay the foundation for a worldwide satellite monitoring system whose motto
 will be Peace through truth"; another correspondent replied less
 optimistically: "While a minority of humanity will live in a high-tech
 fantasy world, the majority will live in overcrowded, filthy cities lacking
 basic services."
 
 The positive view was: "By the end of the century the United States will have
 completed an "informational superhighway" of fiberoptic cables from coast to
 coast. The digitalized system will carry voice and digital data, enabling
 users to talk, send television pictures, and communicate with computers on
 the same line...In South America, farmers isolated in rural areas will use
 information gathered from telecommunications systems to direct their crops to
 countries willing to pay the most. They will thus avoid corrupt middlemen and
 find the highest market."
 
 There are less positive visions of what future technology may mean to the
 Third World. Francisco Sagasti of the World Bank writes: "Modern
 communications will give the average person much greater access to
 information from other parts of the world. The threat of cultural 'Western'
 homogenization may trigger a retreat to traditional ways of thinking and even
 religious fundamentalism, such as the Islamic revival that swept Iran. New
 communications technology may also fuel discontent in the world's poorest
 nations, as people contrast the life-styles they see on television with their
 own."
 
 This fits with the novelist Paul Theroux's future vision of one Third World
 city, Beijing: "It is an island of relative prosperity in an impoverished
 country. And there are dangers--street gangs, the black market, triads,
 muggings, and a brisk and bewildering trade in foreign passports...Television
 is the great recreation: the numerous satellite channels, the educational and
 language channels, which fill the Chinese with a desire to leave. Every
 Saturday there are the televised executions."
 
 This is reminiscent of the future depicted in the film "Bladerunner" and the
 "cyberpunk" science fiction novels of William Gibson, such as "Neuromancer".
 On the other hand, glasnost and the recent events in Eastern Europe perhaps
 give us more to be optimistic about, including where future technology is
 concerned.
 
 And this ends our annual Sweden Calling Dxers look into the future. We'll be
 back next week with our usual round-up of electronic media and shortwave
 news. Until then, good listening and take care.

 --------------
 I apologize for errors and incompletenesses; it takes some effort
 to collect the data.
 
 The quality of reception depends on several factors: weather, time of
 day, time of year aso. So you cannot expect a stable satisfying quality
 like that of cable TV. I scan the the frequencies with a Grundig
 Satellite 2100 and a Grundig Music Boy (cheap, but with 49-m-band),
 built-in antennas, rural environment, Upper Rhine valley.
 
 If anyone has additional information, I would be glad to include it,
 especially listeners' reports.

    This is the Spring/Summer schedule from Radio Norway international.
    Keep in mind that the quality of the signal varies greatly over time,
    and don't be discouraged if you don't hear anything at some times or
    frequencies.  Wait until the next broadcast and try again.
34.6Radio SwedenTLE::SAVAGEWed Sep 28 1994 15:0823
    Radio Sweden has just implemented a new broadcast Schedule:
    -
    Towards North America:
    Swedish 1130 11650
    1500  11650 and 15240
    1545  11650
    0200 6200 and 9850
    0300 6200 and  9850
    -
    English:
    1330 11650 and 15240
    1430 11650 and 15240
    0230  9850 and 6200
    0330 9850 and 6200
    -
    
    The best transmissions are the ones at 1430, 1500, and 1545.  They
    usually come in here in Minnesota almost like a local broadcast
    station. All times are in GMT, which is now 5 hours ahead of central
    standard time.

    The Iceland State Radio broadcast news on short-wave every day.
 
To Europe:
time		frequency
12:15-13:00	13860 and 15770 kHz
18:55-19:30	11402 and 13860 kHz
 
To America
time		frequency
14:10-14:40	13860 and 15770 kHz
19:35-20:10	13860 and 15770 kHz
23:00-23:35	11402 and 13860 kHz
 
    Higher frequencies are better for long distances and daylight but lower
    for shorter distances and nightbroadcast.
