CANADA   Canadian radio stations no longer need to renew their broadcast
licenses.

The Canadian Radio-Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) has completed a
reform of the licensing system: hundreds of AM and FM stations in the
country will now be able to operate under perpetual licenses.

Previously, radio stations were required to apply for a renewal approxi-
mately one year before their license expired. Now, after the current
license expires, it automatically becomes perpetual, and a separate rene-
wal process is not required.

KOREA REP OF / CHINA   KBS Seoul Kimjae 11810 kHz EG at 22.00 UT QRM alert

Hi Joe,
I have notified KBS Seoul about this collision many times over the past
few years and nothing is done about it. KBS never departs from their tra-
ditional frequencies. Even a 5 kHz change would improve matters. In fact,
since a few months ago, I have stopped sending reports to them on this
frequency - I've had enough.

Interesting that you hear 11810 kHz from Utwente. The signal strength in
the U.K. is never good and always with strong flutter fading. I suggested
to KBS that they move this transmission to the local morning hours in
Europe when propagation is more reliable (15160 kHz in Korean is heard
quite well all year round). But again, no response from them.

Lately I have had no personal contacts with anyone at the station, unlike
in previous years. I'm not sure if my reports or emails are being read.
I have been one of their tech. monitors since 1998, but I cannot get any-
one to write back and confirm whether I am still on the list of monitors
for this year.

It's all very disheartening.

MALAYSIA   11885 kHz  RTM, Kajang TX center site. 23.10 UT  'Sabah V FM'
relay clashes badly with co-channel NHK Yamata's Japanese to EaAS.

On Kiwi SDRs in Japan, NHK is booming in,no problem. On numerous EaASian
KiwiSDRs, NHK is the dominant signal by a long way. And on the MountEvelyn
receivers, the channel is just a mushy sound at a fair level. Currently,
no remote SDR in Malaysia, but I suspect that, in some parts of that
country, this NHK service would badly QRM RTM.

With all the empty channels on the spectrum these days, this is in-
excusable! Later, Xinjiang-Ueruemqi fades in and flattens everyone else!

access to independent, accurate and reliable news and information, includ-
ing communities living in areas where information is restricted or con-
trolled by the Myanmar military regime.

Airing every Sunday from 7 am to 8 am Myanmar Standard Time on SW 16 mb.

17665 kHz - the broadcast will combine local and international news bul-
letins and analysis, practical information and segments dedicated to
human rights and disinformation.

Hi Glenn - Thanks very much to Rafael Rodriguez (Bogota, Colombia) for
his reply to my email. Appreciate his feedback.

Please note that 'Radio Huanta 2000' is not a religious station.

<https://radiohuanta2000.com/>

"Interesting audio, It appears to be a sermon delivered by a female voice;
there are some words in Spanish, but most of them are unintelligible.

In June was audible with 'Huanta 2000' on 4753 kHz, and this station al-
ways has had erratic frequency, I send you an extract from HKPeru list
where you see many frequencies operated by Huanta 2000.

<https://app.box.com/s/pp3aw17cznx50rugt4aq86al5ar85fp4>

Although I'm not ruling out the possibility that it could be something
else, I'm going to check it out over the weekend at that time.

PHILIPPINES   FEBC Philippines to close !

From National Association of Shortwave Broadcasters facebook page
FEBC SW Philippines to close:

I just wanted to let you know that FEBC Philippines is planning to close
our facilities in Bocaue and Iba sites in March 2027. As a result, the
following transmitters and related equipment will be for sale at that
time:

Continental Model 418F - 2 units (new in 2001)
Continental Model 418F - 2 units updated from 418D (from FEBC Saipan)
Continental Model 418F - 1 unit updated from 418D or E1 (Updated Iba unit)
Continental Model 418D one unit (original edition Iba unit)

The 418F model is supposed to be able to be updated to DRM capable use by
updating the digital modulator cabinet. Back in the day (2005 ish) that
was expected to be about a $50,000 job. Of course, that price may be dif-
ferent now.

By the way, these transmitters have been well maintained and are in great
condition. I can send photos to anyone who is interested.

Also for sale are spare parts and all the accessories,modulation monitors,
audio processors, etc. Please let your member stations know about this
sale, and feel free to pass along my contact information to anyone who
might be interested.

RUSSIA   "Digital" matters.
On Aug 12, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree awarding the
RTRS team the Order of Honor. The company provides Russians with free
access to TV and radio and celebrated its 25th anniversary on August 13.

On the eve of the anniversary, KP discussed the digital revolution, import
substitution, and the prospects for terrestrial television and radio
broadcasting with RTRS CEO Andrey Romanchenko and his first deputies
Alexey Popov and Alexander Zolotov ...

Romanchenko: RTRS is a natural monopoly and a strategic state-owned enter-
prise in the communications industry. We have 13,100 employees in 79
branches with divisions in all 89 regions of the country ... Our digital
television and radio network is the largest in the world. 5,123 transmitt-
ing stations cover 98.6% of Russians ...

Zolotov: Our FM radio network is also the largest in the world. It com-
prises over 4,000 transmitters broadcasting programs from 250 radio sta-
tions ... More details in Russian + collage:

modern surveillance tech and 'God as the ultimate 'surveillior' ... He's

'radio isn't as good as streaming!'

He called modern society as the 'surveillance economy'and a 'digital drug'
and said the line between law enforcement and dystopian future is blurr-
ing. It's hard to argue with this particular conspiracy theory!

VIETNAM   9635 kHz  VoVietnam, Son Tay bcast center site. 14.20 UT, two
announcers in an unidentified language. Occasional stringed regional folk
music and songs. Very weak modulation but with a strong carrier. Slightly
better, though not much, on the Hanoi KiwiSDR. I'm assuming this is the
VOV-4  Minorities service, although some lists identify it as VOV-1 or
VOV-2 {like wrth.org}. I don't think that is correct. 27 July.
