(wb, mwdx Dec 30) PORTUGAL RDPi spurs. I spoke to the RDPi HF site chief, Dipl. Engineer Luis Abrantes, and he explained the spurs were caused by one of the old reserve 100 kW units, and when they noted the malfunction, the tx was changed in the middle of the b/cast. They've got four 100 kW Continental txs that are kept as reserves and put to work regularly during the time when the Sao Gabriel site is manned, i.e. not just Mon-Fri as I may have reported, but Sat/Sun included, albeit 0900-1700 only though. That clearly means some of the supposedly 300 kW power levels may, at some point, be just 100 or even a bit less depending on the state of the txs mainly because what one's pickig up is a signal from the good old Continental units. So the recent problems with fq change on the Africa/144degr beam after 1700 arise because no one is there to switch a reserve tx thus "bypassing" the still ongoing automation fault (tx memory & software) which is partly due to Thales itself and a bit of customs bureaucracy on both countries, i.e. Portugal and Switzerland. The other playing part in this dragged process stands with the RTP top bosses, i.e. administration, much to the despair of RDPi and its HF site. The 2000-2400 extra b/cast on 11825 Afr 144degr for instance is simply off for months on end due to what I reported, an obvious demonstration that HF is no longer considered as important for the RTP-Radio e Televisao de Portugal administration as it was in the recent past when the radio branch (RDP) & the tv (RTP) branch were completely separated. (Carlos Goncalves-POR, dxld Dec 30) ROMANIA Radio Bucharest on Ceaucescu's overthrow. On December 25, 1989 Nicolae Ceaucescu and his wife were executed by firing squad. Shortwave listeners followed the events in Romania at that time via Radio Bucharest. A 4 minute recording of Radio Bucharest on December 23 1989 can be downloaded here, also one of WNYW 1972 on the same webpage, lots of other recordings and memorabilia on the site: The two 28k Real player links on this 1999 BBC report, including a 1 minute Radio Bucharest English report on Ceaucescu being overthrown, are still active. The John Simpson and Alexandra Razvan reports are not: (Mike Barraclough-UK, BrDXC-UK dxld Dec 26) And people in Romania did on their TV screens... Some examples: 20 Dec 1989, Ceausescu speaks on TV about the events in Timisioara. (On the sidebar you should get a link to a long version in even poorer quality.) file:///Z|/DOKUMENTATION-BULLETINS/WWDXD-BCDX/2010/BCDX945.TXT[11.06.2012 10:39:45]
Ceausescu's last public appearance on 21 Dec 1989. Suddenly the rally gets into panic, for still unknown reasons. This is the video tape from the OB van or its feed, the live transmission on TV had been interrupted until Ceausescu resumed his speech. 22 Dec 1989, about 40 minutes after Nicolae und Elena Ceausescu left Bucharest by helicopter: A crowd gets into studio 4 of TVR, a set for newscasts with bluebox graphics. Heavy dispute with TV staff because the crowd suspects the TV people to fool them. Command from the director in the control room and ... ... on they are. First appearance of Ion Iliescu. Securitate officer supports the revolution. Emotional address by Casimir Ionescu, now a politician. Police officer. Army officer. Nico Ceausescu brought forward, reportedly after being seriously injured. Detailled address by Ion Iliescu, super "Free TV of Romania" which just did not fulfil since Iliescu later, as president of Romania, kept TVR as a propaganda mouthpiece. Alleged "terrorist" brought forward on 23 Dec. In the evening of 22 Dec 1989 shootings started, most of the victims have been killed at a point when the Ceausescu government had already been overthrown. "Terrorists" have been blamed for this. Basically the whole matter is still a mystery. If you want to see more: A good amount of the TVR afternoon/evening broadcasts from 22 Dec 1989 is on Youtube, in 20 parts, under the title "Revolutia Romana la TV". In the last ones one can see how the shootings and fire-raisings took place in front of TVR's live cameras, too. And from now you have 18 hours left to officially view the documentary "Videogramme einer Revolution" online: file:///Z|/DOKUMENTATION-BULLETINS/WWDXD-BCDX/2010/BCDX945.TXT[11.06.2012 10:39:45]
