Under a darkening sky, earthlings tune in to ‘Jupiter Radio’ (KLCC)<\/a><\/h2>\n

Ever eavesdrop on the planet, Jupiter? This past weekend, some radio enthusiasts gathered at Eugene\u2019s Riverfront Field to do just that.<\/p>\n

Roughly a dozen members of the Ducks on the Air Amateur Radio Club gathered on the grassy space (making sure to sidestep goose poops) to set up an array of cables and rods called a differential dipole antenna. They managed to assemble it and realign it just before Jupiter appeared on the dusky horizon. [Continue reading and listen to the audio at KLCC…<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Radio Emma Toc – celebrating wireless station 2MT – at 100! (Southgate ARC)<\/a><\/h2>\n

Dear Listener \/ Viewer<\/p>\n

I’m pleased to let you know that I will be broadcasting another video stream this coming Monday, 14th February, with the theme of celebrating wireless station\u00a02MT<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In 1922, after requests & petitions from radio hams in the United Kingdom, a licence was issued for station 2MT to transmit a programme of CW (morse), Telephony (voice) and music, on a weekly basis. Transmissions came from a small wooden hut in Writtle, Essex, where engineers working for the Marconi Company were given the task of putting on air a wireless station for ‘calibration purposes’ aimed at the growing number of radio hams and enthusiasts.<\/p>\n

Over a short period, and with the good fortune of this Marconi team having a selection of gifted radio engineers & maverick individuals, 2MT became incredibly popular & – probably without realising it at the time – went on to lay the foundations of entertainment broadcasting that was to follow.<\/p>\n

Monday the 14th February will be the centenary of the first transmission from 2MT. From 11am in the morning – 11:00UTC – we will be playing audio documentaries & videos looking at the start of broadcasting here in the UK, & then at around 6.45pm – 18:45UTC – I will present a live programme where hopefully we can all join in to drink a toast to ‘2MT’.<\/p>\n

Our broadcast will not be a full history of the station, more a celebration of the people involved & everything that we enjoy about radio today. I hope to link with others celebrating 2MT & also radio hams on the air on this anniversary day.<\/p>\n

I invite you to join me for this amateur enthusiast video broadcast!<\/p>\n

Further details are available here:

Links & information for other items of interest:<\/strong><\/p>\n

For radio hams, there will be two special event amateur radio stations in operation.
\nLocal Radio Club CARS – Chelmsford Amateur Radio Society – will be operating GB100 2MT from Writtle Village Hall –\u00a0http:\/\/www.g0mwt.org.uk\/events\/gb1002mt-writtle\/index.htm<\/a>
\nRadio Club Essex Ham will be operating GB2MTC from the East Essex Hackspace Hut in Hockley –\u00a0http:\/\/sxham.uk\/2mt<\/a><\/p>\n

It is also hoped that items about 2MT will feature in programmes on the 14th on BBC Essex, Chelmsford Community Radio, & Phoenix FM. I will have more detail on this during my live stream, & if possible will link up with our friend Tim Wander at some time during the evening!<\/p>\n

I look forward to being with you on the 14th!<\/p>\n

Best wishes<\/p>\n

DW, VoA and Euronews facing Turkish ban (Broadband TV News)<\/a><\/h2>\n

Turkey has given three international broadcasters a deadline of 72 hours to apply for local licences or be taken off the air.<\/p>\n

\u201cDeutsche Welle, Voice of America and Euronews have been given a deadline of 72 hours by the RT\u00dcK. They must apply for a broadcast licence within that period or face a broadcast ban,\u201d said Okan Konuralp, a member of the Turkish opposition Republican People\u2019s Party (CHP) on Twitter.<\/p>\n

At issue are the broadcasters\u2019 websites that have drawn the attention of the authorities because they also feature video news. Such websites have become increasingly popular in Turkey as the government places restrictions on local news outlets.<\/p>\n

If the broadcasters don\u2019t apply for a licence the regulator has the right to go to court and get the website closed down.\u00a0[Continue reading…<\/a>]<\/p>\n

RT DE to sue German regulator after broadcast ban (Broadband TV News)<\/a><\/h2>\n

RT DE says it plans to take legal action against Berlin\u2019s media regulator after the German-language channel was ordered to shut down its streaming service.<\/p>\n

The simmering row between Berlin and Russia has resulted in the imposition of restrictions on the German international broadcaster Deutsche Welle\u2019s Russian operations.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe believe that the regulatory authority acted unlawfully with its decision against RT DE Productions GmbH on February 2. The MABB claims that RT DE Productions GmbH is responsible for broadcasting the RT DE channel, blatantly ignoring the fact that the RT DE programme is managed and distributed by Moscow-based TV Novost,\u201d said RT DE in a statement.
