Transnational Government of Tamil Eelam (TGTE) started New Radio Service to Sri Lanka

Transnational Government of Tamil Eelam (TGTE) started New Radio Service to Sri Lanka tests on 12250 KHz at 1500-1600 UTC from 18.05.2012 onwards.

http://world.einnews.com/pr_news/96213939/tamil-gov-t-starts-radio-broadcast-to-sri-lanka-on-may-18th-3rd-anniversary-of-tamil-genocide

Recorded Audio on 22.05.2012 from Kerala, India

http://minus.com/mOdla0B7I/




"The first special broadcast will be on May 18th (Friday), for one hour from 8:30 pm to 9:30 pm, Sri Lanka time."
Transnational Government of Tamil Eelam (TGTE)* today announced that it will start broadcasting Radio News to the Island of Sri Lanka starting from May 18, 2012; the 3rd anniversary of the Genocide of Tamils by the Sri Lankan Government forces.


The Tamil Government’s Radio called Naatham will broadcast in shortwave frequency. This Radio can also be heard in India, Malaysia and Singapore where large number of Tamils live. While this broadcast will become a bridge between the Tamil diaspora and the Tamils living in Tamil homeland, it will also play a role of politically and emotionally link Tamils worldwide.The first special broadcast will be on May 18 th (Friday), for one hour from 8:30 pm to 9:30 pm, Sri Lanka time. TGTE has designated May 18th as the Tamil National Mourning Day to remember tens of thousands of Tamils who were killed simply and solely on account of their Tamil nationality."While the Tamils in the island of Sri Lanka are struggling to cope with the mass killing and be subject to systematic and pervasive human rights violation on account of their Tamil nationality, this broadcast will ease the pain and give them confidence that their dream of achieving sovereign and independent state of Tamil Eelam will become a reality" said Visuvanathan Rudrakumaran, Prime Minister of the Transnational Government of Tamil Eelam (TGTE). "This broadcast will pierce the strict media censorship in Sri Lanka and reach the Tamils to give them unbiased information."


Background:
Tamils faced repeated mass killings since 1958 and the killings in 2009 prompted UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon to appoint a Panel of Experts to report on the scale of killings. According to this UN report over 40,000 were killed in five months in 2009, due to deliberate and intense carpet bombing of areas designated by the government as "no-fire zones", where Tamils assembled for safety. The Sri Lankan Government used cluster bombs and restricted food and medicine for Tamils, resulting in large numbers of people dying from starvation and many of the injured bleeding to death.According to the UN, Tamil women were sexually assaulted and raped by Sri Lankan forces. According to a recent UK government report there are over 90,000 Tamil war widows. There are also reports that detained Tamil women are used as sex slaves by the Security Forces. According to the Bishop of Mannar, Dr. Rayappu Joseph, 146,679 Tamils were unaccounted for when Sri Lankan forces attacked Tamil people in 2009. Members of the Sri Lankan Security forces are almost exclusively from the Sinhalese community and the victims are all from the Tamil community.
For information contact: media@tgte.org
*Transnational Government of Tamil Eelam (TGTE) is a democratically elected government of Tamil Diaspora from the island of Sri Lanka. Its actions are strictly non-violent, democratic and diplomatic. It held internationally supervised elections in twelve countries to elect Members of Parliament (MPs). These MPs drafted and ratified a Constitution and elected a Prime Minister, a 10 member Cabinet and a Speaker.

Radio Taiwan International - English (A12)

Radio Taiwan International - English (A12)


Radio Taiwan International (RTI) broadcasts worldwide from the Republic of China on Taiwan. It is one of the world's oldest radio stations that is still operating today, broadcasting news and programs in 13 different languages. Offering a wide variety of programs spanning from Chinese lessons to Taiwanese history, Radio Taiwan International provides listeners a chance to become acquainted with the unique experience of Taiwan.
 
The station was originally established by the Kuomintang government as the Central Broadcasting System (CBS) in Nanjing, Mainland China, in 1928. During the Japanese invasion in 1937, CBS moved with the government to a new location in Hankou, and then to Chongqing, to continue broadcasting. After the end of the Second World War, the station returned with the Kuomintang government to Nanjing. Four years later, it again followed the KMT government when it moved to Taipei, Taiwan.
 
For the next 60 years, the Central Broadcasting System persevered against both domestic and foreign enemies in order to continuously broadcast for the country. It was through these broadcasts that it assisted in maintaining a stable society, promoting a sense of history, and taking the Taiwanese people to new heights.
 
From 1996 to 1998, systematic changes combining the Central Broadcasting System and the international department of the Broadcasting Corporation of China eventually resulted in the creation of international broadcasts to China and the rest of the world. These were made under the call signs of  "Radio Taipei International" and "The Voice of Asia". After the combination of these two call signs to just "Radio Taipei International", the station changed to its current call sign of "Radio Taiwan International" to avoid confusion on the part of listeners, many of whom had difficulty associating Taipei with Taiwan.

Athmik Yatra (Spiritual Journey) Radio began as a 15 minute daily broadcast by Metropolitan Bishop His Grace The Most Rev. Dr. K P Yohannan in 1985 through Trans World Radio. The broadcasts were in Malayalam and the Lord used the broadcasts very effectively to reach the unreached and the Christians amidst the Keralite population all over the world. The broadcasts rapidly gained the reputation of helping believers and non-believers grow in faith. The programs mainly dealt with issues that people faced on a day to day basis. The simple language attracted many and made it easy for everyone to understand.

As languages began to be added, the AY Radio expanded in scope and reach. Now we broadcast for 10 hours and 30 minutes a day, in 110 languages all across South Asia. We broadcast through Short wave (SW), Medium Wave (MW) and FM stations.

“Listen to AWR”: AWR 41st Year Annual DX Contest


As Adventist World Radio enters into its 41st year of international radio broadcasting, we take pleasure in announcing our annual “Wavescan” DX contest, which comes to you under the title, “Listen to AWR”. In short, you are invited to listen to as many different AWR shortwave locations as possible during the month of July 2012

Here are the details of our 2012 “Listen to AWR” DX Contest:-

A. AWR Shortwave Locations

You are invited to listen to as many shortwave locations in use by Adventist World Radio as possible during the month of July 2012. You may listen to the broadcasts from the AWR station KSDA on the island of Guam, and to any and all of the shortwave relay stations that carry programming from Adventist World Radio. Remember also that the AWR DX program, “Wavescan” is on the air shortwave over several of the stations in the regular AWR network, and also from shortwave stations WRMI & WWCR in the United States.

In due course, you will be able to obtain the July scheduling of Adventist World Radio, and the relay stations in use at the time, from the AWR website on the internet, from contemporary radio bulletins, from the World Radio TV Handbook, and from other reliable information sources.

B. Prepare Reception Reports

You are invited to prepare just one reception report for any AWR transmission from each AWR transmitter site in any country that you are able to log during the month of July 2012. You may report any AWR broadcast on any shortwave frequency, at any time of the day or night, and in any language; just one reception report for each AWR shortwave location.


C. Photocopies

You are invited to search your QSL collection, and where possible, provide a photocopy of a QSL that you already hold in your collection from any of the AWR shortwave stations that you have heard, during the past five years only. These photocopies should be in color if possible, but black & white is also acceptable. If you do not already have a QSL from any of the AWR stations you select, then you should state so in your contest entry.

D. Three Radio Cards

Where possible, you are invited to include three radio cards for the Indianapolis Heritage Collection with your contest entry. These cards may be old or new, and they may be QSL cards, reception report cards, or picture cards of radio stations, etc. (Not valid for this contest are amateur cards nor CB cards.)

E. Assemble Your Contest Entry 

Post your entry with all items to Adventist World Radio in Indianapolis, remembering that the total number of AWR transmitter locations you hear, and neatness and preparation, will all feature in the judging procedure. Due consideration will also be given to the area of the world in which the contestant lives.

Other Contest Details

Well, there you have it, the details for our Wavescan 2012 “Listen to AWR” DX Contest. This contest will run through the month of July 2012, and all contest entries should be postmarked at your local post office anywhere in the world on any date up to the end of the month of July, and they should be received at the AWR post office address in Indianapolis no later than the end of the month of August 2012.

Return postage in the form of currency notes in any international currency, or mint postage stamps, or IRC coupons would be welcome. Where possible, a self addressed return envelope, business size or half quarto size, would also be welcome.

The awards for this year’s 2012 contest will be similar to all previous contests. There will be a special award for the world winner, one of the Jerry Berg radio history books; and World Radio TV Handbook 2013 for each continental winner. In addition, there will be other special awards as well as AWR souvenirs and radio curios for many participants.

You can remember that all AWR reception reports will be verified with a specially endorsed AWR QSL card. Please remember that it will take a period of many months, well into the new year 2013, to process all of the contest entries and reception reports, but each will in due course be processed.
