When in Tofino, BC, in early August, noted a TIS-type station operating on 1260 from the close-by Pacific Rim National Park. It identified as "CBPU"; had an announcement by a woman (in English, followed by the obligatory French repeat) about park conditions; after that was an announcement of weather conditioins by a man (in English, followed by one in French). The woman's announcement was very muddy and hard to understand, even tho we were quite close to the park Wickaninnish HQ (and probably the transmitter). The weather announcement was quite clear. At our house in Tofino, CBPU wasn't nearly as strong as the CBC relay in Ucluelet on 540, even tho it was considerably closer, so suspect that CPBU's power is in the 10 to 20 watt range. Given proper conditions, I suspect that CBPU would be a possibility from a costal location in the NW USA. Patrick Martin: with your antennas, go after them! (John Sampson, Aug 30, NRC-AM via DXLD) It's an all-day reception over the water from Grayland WA (south of Aberdeen and maybe 45-50 miles north of Patrick) and I hear it's supposed to be 10 Watts (Chuck Hutton, WA, ibid.) The 1260 runs 25-50 watts. I used to hear it all day with 2,000 feet running North. Now it is barely under KCYX-McMinnville days with the vertical. I got a QSL from Pacific Rim a few years back. 73, (Patrick Martin, Seaside OR, NRC-AM) ** CANADA. CFLZ [Niagara Fallz] has a unique ID.. "C-F-L-Zed or C-F-L- Zee, either way it's 105.1, The River".

WILLIAMS REPLIES TO RABINOVITCH ON CBC TROUBLES [Finally got full Rabinovitch text posted after the reply.] (Posted August 30, 2005 on CBCunplugged.com) Kirk Williams responds to CBC president Robert Rabinovich's comments, in this letter to the Globe and Mail. Kirk is the National Assignment Producer of Canada Now (supper hour news programme). Letter to the Editor As a locked-out CBC employee in Vancouver, I was looking forward to reading my boss's "clear vision for a better CBC". But while we share many of the same sentiments, his vision -- shared by many of those currently in management -- has one huge blind spot. Mr. Rabinovitch writes "the only (emphasis mine) way to maintain and improve service is to make the money CBC has go further: through internal efficiencies, etc." He's wrong. No one can argue the CBC should consistently strive to be accountable in the way it spends Canadians' hard-earned tax dollars. After all, I am a taxpayer, too. There IS another way. The CBC is a public broadcaster. Mr. Rabinovitch should use his much- touted contacts in Ottawa to lobby the federal government to fund the CBC adequately. Pure and simple. At no point does he even mention this as an option, aside from lamenting past reductions in the CBC's parliamentary appropriation. CBC radio is successful in many Canadian markets because it is relevant, smart and commercial-free. There is no "efficiency" or "business model" to offer a service for free. It is there because Canadians have decided it pay for it through their tax dollars. That is one side of the CBC. The other is the mish-mash of CBC Television, forced to rely on commercial revenue and compete in a Canadian TV market filled with American sitcoms and reality shows. The future of this Corporation is at a crossroads. It is now time for the CBC's leadership to lobby hard to secure Ottawa's commitment to increased funding so the broadcaster can operate free of commercial restraints and do the kind of "public service" Mr. Rabinovitch writes about. CBC employees should do the same. Not to protect their jobs (most are hard-working and talented people who could find work elsewhere), but to protect and enhance the ideals of public broadcasting. It's why we wanted to work at the CBC in the first place. Finally, and most importantly, it is up to Canadians. It we want a public broadcaster, then we must speak up. This isn't about contract jobs or efficiencies. Public broadcasting is bigger than that. Your Member of Parliament should be reminded of that. This lock-out is really about the current management not doing its job, that is, running a public broadcaster and ensuring it will remain so. The CBC ultimately answers to Parliament and the people of the this country. If Canadians no longer feel the CBC is important and necessary, then I can respect that. Canadians may have other ideas on how their surplus tax dollars are spent. If so, then let's shut it down and move on while we can still remember some of the good the CBC did. But please don't let it wither away until it drowns in mediocrity, irrelevance and "efficiencies". Kirk Williams, National Assignment Producer, CBC TV News "Canada Now" -----============== The page you requested is only available to INSIDER Edition subscribers THE CBC'S BOSS SPEAKS: THE FIGHT'S OVER MEANS, NOT ENDS By ROBERT RABINOVITCH Tuesday, August 30, 2005, Page A15 The Globe and Mail Commentary --- The CBC's boss speaks: The fight's over means, not ends The public broadcaster needs the right people to tell the right stories at the right time -- or it will lose its relevance, says president ROBERT RABINOVITCH Last week this newspaper called for a clear vision for a better CBC. That is a welcome challenge. In fact, despite the current labour dispute, management and employees at the CBC share a common vision of the Corporation's mandate and mission -- hardly surprising, since most of today's managers came up through the ranks as working journalists and broadcasters. We believe in a strong, distinctive CBC, one that provides an essential and highly valued service: informing and entertaining Canadians, connecting them with their communities and the rest of the country, giving them unique programming they can't get anywhere else. The CBC's radio services must host the Canadian conversation. CBC Television must be the home of Canadian drama in prime time, the deepest, most complete news service, and a place where our children find fun, commercial-free education. We believe in a relevant CBC, not one that is reduced to marginal status doing only those things that commercial broadcasters choose not to do. To attract eyes and ears, the CBC must appeal to a broad cross-section of the population. A public broadcasting service must make room for specialized programming that attracts dedicated but smaller audiences. But there must also be space for those nation- sharing moments that bring us together and remind us of who we are as Canadians -- be it a major news event, a prestigious documentary series, a big-ticket drama, or a must-watch hockey game. And we believe in a CBC that is motivated primarily by a deep commitment to the ideals of public service. Yet here is where management and the union may differ: over means, rather than ends. Some ask why the CBC is not more like the BBC. The answer is simply that CBC/Radio-Canada is annually asked to do in two languages with $950-million in public funding, what the BBC does in one language with almost $7-billion. In the past decade, the real value of the CBC's annual parliamentary appropriation has declined by almost $400-million. Yet the CBC has actually expanded the quantity and quality of the services it offers Canadians by generating $102-million in one-time funds, and an additional $65-million per year through efficiencies and new revenues. The only way to maintain and improve service is to make the money CBC has go further: through internal efficiencies, by generating income from existing assets -- from program content to real estate -- and by entering into new entrepreneurial partnerships. Otherwise, we'll have no choice but to cut jobs and services at a rate of about $12-million every year, just to keep up with inflation. It's certainly not the CBC's intention to solve its financial problems on the backs of employees. We value them too highly for that. But the formats and platforms that brought public broadcasting to an earlier generation are not enough to bring it to an increasingly diverse, contemporary Canadian society. Today, CBC/Radio-Canada offers its services on 18 platforms; a decade ago, we had nine. New technologies -- personal video recorders, satellite radio, podcasting -- require us to continually rethink how we do our job and deliver our mandate. For public broadcasting to thrive in this kind of world, we will need, as ever, the highest quality programming. Over the past two years, CBC Radio alone has developed and aired more than 30 new program ideas, a level of activity unheard of a few years ago. Public broadcasters, like all broadcasters, need to renew, refresh or replace programming at a faster pace and over shorter program cycles than ever before to remain relevant. Some kinds of skills will always be needed at the CBC. An example would be the news-gathering skills of a reporter, and so, in our proposals, reporters will continue to be hired on a permanent basis. Others will come and go as programs and formats change. Let's say that CBC decided to pilot a new current-affairs show exploring health issues and the health-care system. Some of the producers and the hosts hired might well be very specialized in the subject matter. Three years later, if the issue no longer had the same resonance with Canadians, then the producer should benefit from appropriate severance -- but not permanent status within CBC. That employee, hired for his medical background, should not be able, because he has seniority, to transfer into CBC.ca and displace a newly hired producer who was brought in for her knowledge of the cultural scene and her familiarity with the blogging universe. This is the reality of the world in which we live. Taken together, the proposals we have put forward to our unionized employees seek to ensure that the CBC can employ the right people for the right jobs at the right time. It seems obvious, but that is the core of our dispute with our union. Without this ability, our programming will suffer and the CBC will gradually become less relevant and attractive to Canadians. Because these issues are so important, the CBC took the grave step of exercising its right to lock out its unionized employees. After 15 months of inconclusive negotiations, and the prospect of talks continuing indefinitely -- or of a strike during the height of the fall season, the Turin Olympics or a federal election -- it was time to focus attention on the task at hand. That's why the CBC negotiators remain in place, eager to resume talks, and willing to discuss all issues with the union without preconditions. We have guaranteed the permanent status of current permanent employees. What is in dispute are the employment arrangements of future CBC hires. "Jobs for life" could lead to the demise of the institution. "The right people for the right jobs" could save it. The future of public broadcasting in this country depends on the choice we make. Everyone who cares about public broadcasting in Canada agrees about that. That's why we are resolved to do everything in our power to reach a settlement as quickly as possible -- everything short of mortgaging the future of a great institution. ----- Robert Rabinovitch is president and CEO of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.

CBC podcast tops --- By Robyn Stubbs, 24 hours http://vancouver.24hrs.ca/News/2005/08/31/1194925-sun.html They may not be coming to us over the radio airwaves, but locked-out CBC broadcasters are still finding ways to keep in contact with devoted listeners. A podcast of local music and commentary is now ranked the second most popular national podcast on iTunes, beating out Fox Television, BBC World and Ebert and Roeper, said locked out CBC communications officer Joan Athey yesterday. Only CBC Radio 3's podcast ranks higher, despite the fact that Radio 3 broadcasters are locked out and the show isn't putting out any new material. The new website http://www.cbcunplugged.com was created by locked-out CBC technology columnist and producer Tod Maffin and started up two weeks ago when CBC employees across the country stopped work because of a dispute over contracting out jobs (via Bruce MacGibbon, Aug 31, DXLD) ** CANADA. SHELAGH ROGERS HITS THE ROAD http://shelaghcaravan.blogspot.com/ "The Caravan Unlocked" --- Take a mini-van, include a well-known locked out CBC Radio host, add in a couple of stray radio producers and aim east. That’s the formula that Shelagh Rogers and friends are using for their new project, The Caravan Unlocked. The Caravan Unlocked will see Shelagh and her two colleagues moving west to east, visiting as many Candian Media Guild (CMG) picket lines as they can, starting with the one at CBC Victoria. The CMG is underwriting the cost of the project. Shelagh and Co. vow to keep on driving east – and keep on picketing with their colleagues – until they reach CBC St. John’s in Newfoundland and Labrador, or until CBC management unlocks the doors - -- whichever comes first. Along the road, Shelagh will constantly update this blogsite. So, please bookmark it now. In addition to regular written dispatches from Shelagh, check this site daily for photos of the tour and for regular podcasts. Shealgh and her colleagues also hope to make the podcasts available soon on iTunes.ca ``I was planning to be part of an exciting start to September on CBC Radio One beginning with an Alberta Centennial special from Edmonton, followed by a radio season launch in Antigonish, Nova Scotia, and then capping it off with a cross country tour going east to west," said Rogers. ``Due to circumstances beyond my control, however, I instead find myself in a very different role and traveling west to east. Who would have believed it?`` The mission of The Caravan Unlocked is to meet with her listeners and to reach out to the communities who are sorely missing the CBC, as well as connecting with colleagues on picket lines across the nation. ``This whole trip, really, is about optimism and the hope for a new and better CBC after this is all over. In my heart of hearts, though, what I really hope for is that this trip doesn’t last very long.`` For more information call Sue Campbell (cell) : 416-407-1447 (via Ricky Leong, AB, Sept 1, DXLD) ** ECUADOR.

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) Not quite, there is no "zh" or "zhd" in this word. You may like to have a look at http://www.pcgn.org.uk/Serbian%20Cyrillic%20tabulation.pdf to get an idea of the two scripts. There is an alternative spelling (rarely used) which is "Medjunarodni", which makes the pronunciation more clear: that would be something like "medyunarodni". The language on the website is Serbian, not Croatian (there are almost no native Croatian speakers in Serbia-Montenegro).

NORWAY/UK: TELENOR/BBC WORLD SERVICE ENTER DIGITAL BROADCASTING AGREEMENT | Text of press release by Oslo-based Telenor on 31 August; subheading as published Telenor-owned Norkring has entered into an agreement with the BBC World Service for digital broadcasting over shortwave, DRM [Digital Radio Mondial]. As part of the agreement, the BBC will be among the first in the world to broadcast over DRM. From Norkring's transmitting station at Kvitsoy, signals will be broadcast to Central Europe. This new agreement with the BBC is an important step in the digitalisation of shortwave, which actually has the capacity to achieve global reach. The agreement involves broadcast of the radio channel BBC World Service "English for Europe" for an initial period of 18 months. The BBC is also using UK-based transmitters owned and operated by VT Communications (VTC) to provide a multi-frequency network aimed at Benelux and neighbouring countries. "For us this as an exciting partnership with one of the world's leading broadcasters. The BBC is a driving force within DRM, and contributes to set the standard for the future role of shortwave," said sales and marketing director at Norkring, Per Maltun. The first major test will be the launch of receivers for DRM at the world's largest exhibition for consumer electronics, the IFA in Berlin 2-7 September 2005. [Passage omitted] About Norkring Norkring is Norway's largest distributor of broadcast programmes. The company owns and operates most large transmitter stations for terrestrial broadcasting in Norway.

Off Topic Question --- Is anyone near Pagosa Springs, Colorado? Anyone ever heard of it or been through there? Anyone know anything about it? (Bert New, Watkinsville, Georgia Proudly Serving You Since 1964!, Aug 30, ABDX via DXLD) Bert, Pagosa Springs is a small town of less than 2000 in the middle of nowhere in far SW Colorado, in the foothills of the San Juan Mountains, in the San Juan National Forest, on the San Juan River. It's a beautiful, cold, snowy area with skiing and Anasazi ruins. 73 & GUD DX, (Thomas F. Giella, KN4LF Plant City, FL, USA, ibid.) I gotta relative who lives there. I have never been to her place but I've been through there. Seems like a incredibly good place to DX from (Kevin Redding, AZ, ibid.) There would be lots of low angle incoming signal blockage by 10,000 to 13,000+ high mountains. So MF DXing in Pagosa Springs for TA & TP signals would be pretty lousy unless you got up on a high peak. BTW I used to live in Colorado on a 7000 foot foothill on the Front Range overlooking Denver and the location was terrific for all kinds of state side signals and TA's but TP's just could not make it over the mountain ranges. But I would go up to Mt. Evans at 14,200+ feet SW of Denver and the TP's would make it into there, snow showers with lightning too in summer. 73 & GUD DX, (Thomas F. Giella, KN4LF Plant City, FL, USA, ibid.) You are correct, but I was thinking of FM and TV as it would be real easy to get up on a high point and get incredible reception. I know that when I get up on a mountain here in AZ , I can easily get Texas FM from El Paso every time I go up there. That¹s over 400 miles away. Altitude is everything when it comes to FM and TV DX (Kevin Redding, ibid.) Bert: You mean you have NEVER heard C.W. McCall's version of 'Chicken Truck' or something similar where they lost their brakes coming down Wolfcreek Pass and crashed in downtown Pagosa Springs? Tsk Tsk!

Heavily forested. Wolf Creek Pass is a terrific drive up the road, and I do mean up (tho I usually approach from the other direction down into PS). As for DXing there, MW and SW may be great, but I seem to recall that there are loads of FM and TV translators for a place that small. [and because of the topography, FM and TV comes from as far away as Albuquerque NM rather than CO stations] 73, (Glenn Hauser, OK, longing for the West, ibid.) Me an' Earl was haulin' chickens on a flatbed out of Wiggins, and we'd spent all night on the uphill side of thirty-seven miles of hell called Wolf Creek Pass. Which is up on the Great Divide.

Wolf Creek Pass, way up on the Great Divide Truckin' on down the other side Well, Earl put down his bottle, mashed his foot down on the throttle, and then a couple'a boobs with a thousand cubes in a nineteen-forty- eight Peterbilt screamed to life.

I says, You wanna screw that thing back on, Earl? He was tryin' to thread it on there when the fire fell off a' his cigar and dropped on down, sorta rolled around, and then lit in the cuff of Earl's pants and burned a hole in his sock. Yeah, sorta set him right on fire. I looked on outta the window and I started countin' phone poles, goin' by at the rate of four to the seventh power. Well I put two and two together, and added twelve and carried five; come up with twenty-two thousand telephone poles an hour. I looked at Earl and his eyes was wide, his lip was curled, and his leg was fried. And his hand was froze to the wheel like a tongue to a sled in the middle of a blizzard. I says, Earl, I'm not the type to complain; but the time has come for me to explain that if you don't apply some brake real soon, they're gonna have to pick us up with a stick and a spoon. Well, Earl rared back, and cocked his leg, stepped as down as hard as he could on the brake, and the pedal went clear to the floor and stayed there, right there on the floor. He said it was sorta like steppin' on a plum. Well, from there on down it just wasn't real purdy: it was hairpin county and switchback city. One of 'em looked like a can full'a worms; another one looked like malaria germs. Right in the middle of the whole damn show was a real nice tunnel, now wouldn't you know?

Well we shot that tunnel at a hundred-and- ten, like gas through a funnel and eggs through a hen, and we took that top row of chickens off slicker than scum off a Lousiana swamp.

RFE/RL CONDEMNS JAILING OF REPORTER BY "KANGAROO COURT" | Text of report by UN regional information network IRIN on 30 August The US-funded Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL), on Tuesday [30 August] condemned a six-month jail sentence imposed on its Uzbekistan reporter for allegedly insulting a security service official. The sentence is being seen as part of increasing government pressure on both journalists and human rights groups in this Central Asian nation. Washington and Prague-based RFE/RL promotes democratic values by disseminating factual information and ideas. The correspondent, Nosir Zokirov, is an Uzbek national employed by the station's Uzbek language service. He was summoned to court in the eastern city of Namangan on 26 August, denied access to a defence lawyer or permission to call defence witnesses, found guilty and send directly to prison, according to a statement issued by RFE/RL. "It was a kangaroo court, bearing no resemblance to international accepted legal norms," Thomas Dine, RFE/RL president, said in a statement. "The sentencing of Nosir Zokirov on such an absurd charge marks a new low in an intensifying campaign waged against him and other RFE/RL correspondents, evident even before the Andijan massacre," Dine was quoted as saying. Up to 1,000 civilians were shot dead by Uzbek security forces in the eastern city of Andijan during an anti-government demonstration in May. Zokirov was sentenced under Article 140 of the Uzbek criminal code, which makes it a criminal offence to insult a member of the security forces. According to RFE/RL, the charges relate to an angry telephone call Zokirov made to a national security service office in Namangan in early August, in which he protested against attempts to put pressure on a local poet. Earlier Zokirov had broadcast a poem by Haydarali Komilov about the Andijan crackdown. "The poetry angered the authorities and the pressure on my father intensified. He was summoned to the security services for questioning but refused to go. Later he was taken for questioning by a security service official," Zokirov's son said. At least three other local Uzbek nationals working as correspondents for Radio Liberty's Uzbek language service have been subjected to similar pressure by the Uzbek authorities. "It is incumbent on us, living in a free society with free media, to let the world know what is happening to Uzbek journalists inside Uzbekistan," Dine added.

ROBO EN AEROPUERTO INTERNACIONAL SIMÓN BOLIVAR (Maiquetía) --- Esta es verdaderamente una noticia curiosa y preocupante a la vez, tiene que ver con la aviación venezolana y el hampa que azota a nuestra querida Venezuela. Atte: José Elías Martes 30 de agosto de 2005.- Maiquetía – Venezuela.- En la noche del dia viernes 26 de agosto de 2005, delincuentes aún no detectados robaron 400 metros de cable en la pista principal del aeropuerto internacional de Maiquetía, y así quedó impedida la comunicación entre los técnicos de la Torre de Control y los pilotos que buscaban pista para aterrizar. La información conocida en fuentes allegadas al Terminal aéreo, indica que el viernes en la noche las autoridades precisaron movilizarse con prontitud, porque el Sistema de Radio Ayuda, mejor conocido como VOR, dejó de funcionar en forma imprevista. El equipo está diseñado como radio-ayuda, para indicarle a la tripulación la distancia que le falta para arribar a la pista señalada, lo cual es de imperiosa necesidad para los pilotos que después de volar varias horas llegan cansados a su destino, y también para quien tenga ligeros conocimientos de este aeropuerto internacional. El VOR también activa el sistema de luces que funcionan en círculo, cuando el avión se acerca más al sitio donde debe ser aterrizado. El cable robado tenía la instalación necesaria para comunicar desde tierra hacia la nave en aproximación, a través del sistema VHF que todos los aparatos tienen instalados en el tablero observado por el piloto. Es el sistema conocido como "Instrumental Landing Sistem" (ILS) es el que brinda mayor precisión al momento del aterrizaje y garantiza la estabilidad del avión. Cuando estos sistemas quedaron fuera de servicio, desde la Torre de Control fue preciso utilizar un sistema de comunicación distinto al que se utiliza en forma habitual. Durante el fin de semana y hasta ayer, las autoridades del aeropuerto de Maiquetía se ocupaban de colocar un nuevo cableado, el cual deberá ser mejor protegido que el anterior. El ingeniero Rolando Alcalá, jefe de mantenimiento del Iaaim, se negó a conversar del tema con los representantes de los medios de comunicación social, y hasta el mediodía de ayer, no había denunciado en la Policía Científica el robo del cable, cuyo valor tangible se desconoce, pero de paso, generó emergencia al momento de quedar sin comunicación la torre de control con los aviones que llegaron a Maiquetía durante el fin de semana y hasta avanzada la mañana de ayer. Sin embargo, el tránsito no fue paralizado. Las empresas atendieron a sus clientes en forma habitual, y los pasajeros inocentes de cualquier situación irregular, compraron pasajes, abordaron las naves y viajaron muy tranquilos (Fuente: Diario ``2001``, 30 AGO 05 via José Elías Díaz Gómez, Venezuela, DXLD) ** VENEZUELA.

The level of the differential mode signal, injected in the AC receptacles in the house exceeds the CISPR 22B spec with not less than 40 dB. Spurious signals are transmitted into the mains at frequencies up to approximately 130 MHz. The radiation exceeds the NB30 limit with 30 dB inside the house, with 10 db outside the house at approximately 3 meter from the house, and with up to 7 dB at 100 m from the house where the PLC system is installed. The PLC system creates signals from 3.5 through 30 MHz ranging from 35 to 60 dB over the residual band noise, even in situations where antennas are used that are more than 50 m away from the house where the PLC system is operational. The modem tested provides (switchable) notches in the amateur bands. These are somewhat effective (especially near the centre of the bands), but what appear to be intermodulation products from the PLC signals near the band edges spill into the bands (notches are typically 20 dB deep near band edges --- largely insufficient --- and approximately 40 dB at the band centre). We made a suggestion to widen the notches to enhance the effectiveness near the band edges. The PLC system tested is extremely sensitive to interference from legitimate transmitter signals inside the amateur bands. Power levels as low as 5 Watt have shown to disrupt the link. Tests were done by pinging the network and by transmitting a film over the network. Reception of broadcast signals in the short wave BC bands is greatly impaired, and DRM (Digital Radio Mondiale) signals dropped out completely during the test. The tested prototype models were not (yet) CE-approved. You read enough already? You want to skip all the details? OK, but before you do, may we suggest you listen to what it all sounds like...
