So let’s start in with our Wavescan topic for this week.  Radio Broadcasting in Mexico. Here’s Steve Hamstra.

 

WAVESCAN TOPIC  (5 minutes)  Normally read by Student Volunteer

 

Play Wavescan topic: The earliest origins in the story of wireless and radio in Mexico go back a long way, exactly one hundred years in fact.  According to the recent book on the story of shortwave broadcasting in Mexico, which was published in Spanish by Pepe Gonzales, the government communication department was ordered to import wireless equipment from the Marconi company in England.  The type of equipment that was ordered in 1904 is described as the "Slaby Spark", a type that was developed in Germany.

 

          Subsequently, Mexico took progressive delivery of wireless equipment from England, sufficient for as many as 23 communication stations throughout Mexico.  The final delivery of all of this equipment occurred in the year 1911.

 

          The earliest known experiments in Mexico, using primitive wireless equipment, took place in the regional city, Monterrey in the year 1908, just 13 years after Marconi began his earliest experiments in Italy.  These experiments were conducted by Sr Constantino de Tamava, apparently using items of equipment that he himself constructed.  Subsequently, another experimenter, Sr Bonilla, built a small transmitter in Chapultepec, as well as a cluster of small stations in the Fresnillo area.

 

          According to the radio historians, the first radio broadcast in Mexico took place in Mexico City on September 27, 1921, when Dr. A. G. Hernandez commenced a series of regular program broadcasts.  Soon afterwards, the aforementioned Tamava also began a series of radio broadcasts at night from his same location in Monterrey.  The Monterrey station was on the air under the unusual callsign, "24A".

 

          Regular radio broadcasting in Mexico commenced in 1923 when three stations were launched in Mexico City. These stations identified on air with the callsigns, JH, CYB & CYL.  In 1929, international regulations required that all radio stations in Mexico should change their callsigns to an X prefix, and thus CYB was re-designated as XEB, the oldest radio station in their country. 

 

          Experimental broadcasting on shortwave commenced in 1922 when a 50 watt transmitter was installed in the Esto Theatre in Mexico City.  Programming for these transmissions on 120 metres were live broadcasts presented from the regular performances on the stage in the theater.

 

          A regular shortwave service was commenced in the year 1928 when station XC51 was inaugurated in Mexico City.  This station was noted in subsequent years carrying at times the programming from the well known mediumwave station XEW.

         

          Over the years, Mexico has been noted for the fact that a multitude of shortwave stations were available to the shortwave listener.  In the mid 1930s for example, 20 different shortwave stations were on the air, most of which took a relay from the mediumwave parent station.  In fact right through into the late 1990s, there were still more than 20 shortwave stations on the air throughout Mexico, though not all of them were active throughout the year.

 

          In the late 1990s, the number of shortwave stations in Mexico began to diminish rapidly, until today, just eight are listed in the current edition of the World Radio TV Handbook.  Even so, only three or four of these stations are considered to be active at the present time.

 

          It was in 1989 that Radio Mexico International was launched under the callsign XERMX, using equipment provided by East Germany.  This station was the only truly international broadcaster on shortwave in Mexico, and it too went silent just a few months back. 

 

          Our QSL collection contains close on 200 QSL cards and letters from radio stations in Mexico, confirming broadcasts on both mediumwave and shortwave.  Maybe you should obtain your QSLs from the remaining shortwave stations in Mexico while they are still on the air.

 

          In a recent news item, it is stated that Mexico has adopted the DRM standard for radio broadcasting, so perhaps this development will bring a revival of interest in international radio broadcasting also in this rapidly developing country, just "South of the Border", as they say.

 

Host 1

Thanks Steve.  Now some more information on the changes to the English Language Service as announced on this programme a couple of weeks ago.  This is the official news release from Shelley Nolan Freesland, Communication Director for Adventist World Radio.

- - -

Adventist World Radio’s English language service will be converted from a centralized global service to a local regionalized service beginning January, 2005.

 

          The production of English programs currently takes place at AWR’s Europe region office in England. Under the new plan, local studios — primarily in Africa and Asia/Pacific — will produce their own English programs in areas where there is a satisfactory level of listener interest. This change is consistent with the rest of AWR’s operations, where programs in all other languages are produced locally.

 

          AWR president Ben Schoun states that: 

 

“AWR is primarily supported by the members of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, and giving has continued to increase year by year.   However, many organizations need to sharpen their focus from time to time in relation to their core business. This move is a result of a re-examination of AWR’s priorities. It will make us be more consistent with our mission, which is to reach people groups in their own languages. In examining our need/cost ratio, we realized that regional studios are capable of producing English programs where needed and can do it quite economically. It is our goal to add broadcasts for our areas of highest need, in languages such as Arabic and Turkish. As well, we feel that our English programs will contain more cultural flavor and meaning when created by local producers.

 

          Some experts indicate that the growth of English as the global language may be slowing, while other major languages are becoming more widely used. Other global broadcasters such as the BBC and Voice of America moved to a regionalized model some years ago. This regionalization trend also takes into account the fact that English usage and pronunciation are different in various areas of the world.

 

          AWR’s English language service in England will be phased out by the end of 2004, and resources will be shifted to a broader base of broadcast needs. AWR’s Africa region already airs a substantial number of locally-produced English programs, and this service will be enhanced in 2005. New services will also be developed in the Asia/Pacific region. Beginning January 1, 2005, listeners will be invited to write to their local studio at the address given on the broadcast, instead of the central listener mail address in London, England.

 

          Schoun says, “While local studios have produced English programs in the past, AWR decided to add a global service in 1993. During this time, our staff has done an outstanding job producing some favorite programs, such as Network 7 News, Wavescan, and Bible Answers. We appreciate the dedication and leadership that our English producers have demonstrated and the excellent contributions from our international correspondents around the world.”

 

          “Wavescan,” the English program produced for shortwave radio hobbyists, will be shifted to a studio location in the Asia/Pacific region, where the largest DX communities are found. The international DX program will continue with the participation of AWR’s DX editor, Dr. Adrian Peterson. Contributions from large radio listener clubs in Japan, India, Bangladesh and other locations will be added to the regular content.

 

          The final edition of “Wavescan” produced in England will be aired at all usual times and frequencies on Sunday, December 26, 2004. The first program produced in Asia will be broadcast on Sunday, January 2, 2005. Listeners sending reception reports and requesting QSL cards will be invited to write to the new address given in Wavescan.

 

In the new year, “Wavescan” will be broadcast from AWR’s station KSDA on the island of Guam; the specific schedule will be announced in advance.

Travelogue  (5 minutes)

Host 1

In today's travel log we take a quick trip to Jamaica to learn about a teacher who ended up on the streets speaking a language that needs some interpretation. Here's our International Correspondent Monica Johnson with the story.

DX Report

Host 2

Thank you Paul – and sadly it is the final time to say thank you and you spend a little more time on the amateur radio side of your hobby – but thanks for all your contributions and help over almost 7 years, indeed, since February 15, 1998.  Our deep appreciation.  I know our listeners often comment on your contributions.  We’re going to miss them.  Thanks again.

 

Feature  (5 minutes)

I suppose we’ve all seen them from time to time.  People on the street – usually in the larger cities -- asking for money.   And while we don’t know their background – if they’re homeless or in genuine need -- we know that its not uncommon for them to ask for spare change.

 

While not necessarily begging, this act is officially – in the US at least -- called panhandling.  Recently while in the US, AWR’s David Barasoain met a seemingly different kind of panhandler. 

 

He not only had a different approach, but a different attitude.
