GLEANINGS ----------------------- AUSTRALIA - Radio Australia 
returns to its regular program schedule starting February 1. (Every year, many 
programs go on summer  hiatus during the period of around December 25 to 
January 31--Christmas to Australia Day.) (Figliozzi, USA) 
AUSTRALIA - One Radio Australia 
program that will not be returning is "Countrywide", which is no 
longer being produced by the  domestic network, Radio National, a source 
for a considerable amount of RA programming. Replacing Countrywide will be 
"Life  Mtters", a daily program that examines and discusses 
Australian social and family life issues. Listen for it at 0910 and 1135 daily 
on 9580 and 9660 (Figliozzi, USA) 
AUSTRALIA - Radio Australia will 
run a special test on February 14 of its Shepparton transmitting facility. For 
this one day only, RA will broadcast to South and Southeast Asia and West and 
Central Europe from 0900 to 1358 UTC on 21710 kHz. RA requests reports to  
GPO Box 428G Melbourne and via e-mail. (Figliozzi, 
USA)      ( now it is no easy to listen RA  here 
in Roma with the beautiful signal of the past years.  Ed. ) 
CHINA PR. - Radio China 
International has an english transmission from 17.00 UTC on 9710 kHz heard on

barely audible. (Johan Damen, The Netherlands) 
COSTA RICA- A local community in 
a remote area of CR, which feels isolated, and is 20 km wide, wants to set up a 
SW station, since the FM band is claimed by commercial broadcasters, following 
the RFPI model, and RFPI has agreed to assist. No further details (James Latham, 
RFPI Millennium Dreams Feb 2 via Hauser, WORLD OF RADIO 975 / GH DX REPORT 
99-07, Feb 3, 1999)  
COSTA RICA- This week's 
Millennium Dreams on RFPI had James and Debra Latham giving lots of info about 
the station and its  financial situation; originally broadcast Fri Jan 29, 
and monitored here on a repeat UT Tue Feb 2 at 0430; excerpts follow: The 
"Fun-Raiser" runs through Feb 7. 1-800-291-2823. Three of the original 
transmitter tubes are offered as premiums for $250, along with  
certificates of authenticity. In 1998, there were 14 students, interns and 
volunteers, who collectively contributed a total of 37 months of work (not 
including paying IPC students). Over the past 11 years, there have been several 
hundred volunteers. RFPI's first year budget  was only $16K, though 
misreported in the media as $170K. The 1998 budget of Earth Communications to 
run RFPI was $186,093.13, including $52K in donated goods and services, leaving 
$134,093.13 cash. Of this, $17,267.52 was spent on technical upgrades. Among 
donated expenses are the Oregon office, which is 100% volunteer; also some 
equipment and travel. Full time salaries went to only five people, Willie 
Barrantes, Joe Bernard, Debra Latham, James Latham, and through October, Robert 
"Bobby" Kennedy who then went on  an extended leave of absence. 
In 1999 hopes to hire a new person for staff support and research assistant; was 
about to be interviewed. And an intern is currently needed. The weekly hour in 
French is done on a volunteer basis. Global Community Forum got three grants in 
1998, one of which was from the Greensboro Justice Fund. The funder for FIRE 
closed the Foundation for a Compassionate Society, and reduced program from 14 
to 4 hours per week, and then to zero, resulting in a budget cut at RFPI. 
Planned new programs in 1999 include: Deep Ecology for the XXI Century (a New 
Dimensions production); Wisdom Radio Network programs; Voices of Vision. 
The  Commanity long distance phone program was dropped since that company 
changed and it was no longer viable for RFPI benefit. Institute of Progressive 
Communcations (intensive Spanish lessons and radio training) plans 4 sessions in 
1999, in May, June, July and August; so far May has been confirmed. A minimum of 
4 students is required for each session. Valuable contacts were made at the 1998 
AMARC (community radio) meeting in Milan; RFPI hopes to exchange staff and 
training with Channel Africa. Technical Upgrades in 1998:  Frequency 
synthesizers replace crystal-controlled; now RFPI can change frequency quickly, 
once antennas are retuned, if necessary to avoid deliberate jamming, rather than 
wait 3-4 weeks for new crystals to be ordered. Spare parts: key components now 
on hand include a tube for the 10 kW transmitter in addition to for the 30 kW; 
10 kW had to operate at reduced power while a full-power cooling blower  
was replaced by a lower-powered blower. But now a full-power 3hp blower and 
motor are on standby. Brown-outs and voltage  fluxuations are a continuing 
problem, typically 105-140+ volts, or 210-280+ when doubled. This happens when 
the power plant starts up a second generator without turning off the first one! 
Antennas: Four new ones built and installed in 1998. For 21460 - 5-element yagi 
at 105 feet, and directional control For 15050 - high-gain yagi, on tallest 
tower, now increased to 200 feet high with addition of three tower  
sections For 6975 - 4-element cubical quad just below the yagi at about 198 feet 
high. Very high gain. Boom is 55 feet long, 50 feet tall and wide, but not much 
wind resistance. Backup bi-directional curtain array to improve coverage toward 
the south, still under  construction. A listener in Dublin reports RFPI's 
signal comparable to 500-kW WEWN. Also have added 300 feet of high-power  
transmission line coax. A high-speed computer was added, allowing sending and 
receiving programs on internet, but subject to limitations of the only ISP 
available in CR. FM transmitter on 101.3 has a stronger signal, heard across the 
valley, and in fact 3 hours away by car.  Soon to be installed on a 
mountain increasing coverage further, something much anticipated by the Spanish 
department. During Fun-Raising week, planned to include stories from the 
archives on RFPI's peace-trip across the U.S.; interview with Paz the Cat, who 
runs the station. Paz recently knocked RFPI off the air whilst chasing spiders, 
jumping up and down on some equipment, disconnecting several  mini-disc and 
recording machines; and the day before had to clean her hair out of a VHS 
recorder where she had been sleeping.... excerpts as monitored by Glenn Hauser,

GREECE- In a letter of Dec 21, 
Dionisios Angelogiannis of ERT says he has been overloaded with work and 
continues to be. In his new position, he hopes to find some money to install the 
new VOA-donated transmitters in Avlis and Thessaloniki. It is a big installation 
and the substructure in Avlis is not good. New building has to be done, 
electrical supply has to be increased. He was preparing new assignments for the

Jordan was quite good atop minor RTTY but in Arabic instead of scheduled 
English--evidently they thought the King's death would be a good excuse for 
dropping English, let's hope temporarily-with continuous talk, no ID break at 
1700, into Qur'an at 1705 and off at 1730* One can be quite sure of the identity 
due to frequent mentions of "Urdan" (Arabic for Jordan) and 
"Hashemiya" (Glenn Hauser, OK/ GH SHORTWAVE/DX REPORT 99-08, Feb
