Popova in Russia was still trying remote signaling at this time &amp; the first wireless experiment by Marconi was not successful until May 1897.<\/p>\n<p>Bose is a pioneer in microwave optics technology.<\/p>\n<p>Bose&#8217;s invention of 1-centimeter to 5 millimeters radio waves is being used in radars, satellite communication&amp; remote sensing.<\/p>\n<p>Bose&#8217;s concepts from his original 1897 papers are now incorporated into a new 1.3 mm multi-beam receiver on the NRAO (National Radio Observatory) 12 Meter Telescope.<\/p>\n<p>Bose anticipated the use of P-type&amp; N-type semiconductors &amp; hence 60 years ahead of his time. Bose developed the use of GALENA crystals for making receivers.<\/p>\n<p>In Bose&#8217;s presentation to the Royal Institution in London in January 1897, he speculated on the existence of electromagnetic radiation from the sun. This radiation from the sun was not detected until 1942.<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/6_u8x8V4YYs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Video: Exploring a 1 MILLION Watt FM Tower (YouTube)<\/a><\/h2>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"625\" height=\"352\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6_u8x8V4YYs?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p>My Dad and I took a road trip to tour the 1 MW FM community tower in Crestwood, MO, serving the entire St. Louis metro area combining 10 FM radio signals into two antenna systems.<\/p>\n<p>Special thanks to the Audacy engineers who allowed us to take a peek at their (very clean!) transmitter rooms and equipment!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/6_u8x8V4YYs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Click here to view on YouTube.<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>3ZZZ breaches community radio broadcast rules in its coverage on Ukraine (ACMA)<\/h2>\n<p>The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) has found Melbourne-based community broadcaster 3ZZZ in breach of community broadcasting rules in its coverage of the invasion of Ukraine by Russia.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>An ACMA investigation found that content broadcast on 3ZZZ\u2019s &#8216;The Russian Program\u2019 on 24 February 2022 breached rules around factual accuracy and also stereotyped and attempted to demean Ukrainian people.<\/p>\n<p>During the program, which is presented in the Russian language, the host made a number of comments stating that Russian armed forces had not carried out any \u201cmissile, air or artillery strikes on the cities of Ukraine\u201d. The ACMA investigation found this was not accurate at the time of broadcast, with credible evidence citing 24 February 2022 as the start of Russia\u2019s missile attacks against Ukrainian cities.<\/p>\n<p>The investigation also noted the program host made statements presenting the independence of Donetsk and Luhansk from Ukraine as fact. In assessing credible external sources, including comments from Australia\u2019s then Minister for Foreign Affairs, the ACMA is of the view that these statements were inaccurate.<\/p>\n<p>ACMA Chair Nerida O\u2019Loughlin said rules around accuracy in community radio news are in place so that listeners can be confident that what is being reported is true and credible.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCommunity radio, including in-language services, fulfils a vital role in Australia\u2019s broadcasting landscape, providing access to content audiences may not otherwise be able to find. Therefore, it\u2019s important that audiences can trust that the information presented is accurate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn this case, 3ZZZ has aired material that did not meet the accuracy standards expected of a community broadcaster,\u201d Ms O\u2019Loughlin said.<\/p>\n<p>The ACMA also found the program included content that was demeaning towards Ukrainian people on the basis of their nationality, language and political affiliations. This included a song which mocks the Ukrainian government and people, presenting a stereotype of Ukrainians that attempted to undermine their dignity.<\/p>\n<p>Following the findings, 3ZZZ has entered into a court-enforceable undertaking with the ACMA that will see it provide training for all relevant staff and volunteers on compliance with the Community Radio Broadcasting Codes of Practice. The station will also establish systems, processes and practices for the identification of geo-political matters and environmental sensitivities of a serious nature, so that these can be appropriately managed in broadcasts in the future.<\/p>\n<p>For more information, please contact ACMA Media on 0438 375 776 or <a href=\"mailto:media@acma.gov.au\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media@acma.gov.au<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/radioinfo.com.au\/news\/abc-launches-australia-calling-the-abc-radio-australia-story\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ABC launches Australia Calling: The ABC Radio Australia Story (RadioInfo)<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>The ABC has released an official history of Radio Australia, Australia Calling: The ABC Radio Australia Story.<\/p>\n<p>Written by long-time ABC Radio Australia journalist and presenter Dr. Phil Kafcaloudes, Australia Calling tells the story of the radio service\u2019s evolution and change through the decades as geopolitics and the media landscape shift across the region and the world.<\/p>\n<p>It charts the push and pull of the service from pressures on the ABC budget over the years and as political support for the value of international broadcasting has ebbed and flowed within Canberra.<\/p>\n<p>ABC Managing Director David Anderson says, \u201cIn the ABC\u2019s 90th year, Australia Calling is a timely reminder of the historic importance of the ABC\u2019s International Services in the Indo-Pacific.

Instead, Americans were kept informed and entertained by radio, a platform\u00a0so popular that\u00a0many Americans purchased radios rivaling\u00a0today\u2019s large-screen TV\u2019s in size. They became furniture for many households.<\/p>\n<p>In an effort to promote patriotic material to eager listening audiences, General Electric launched a short wave radio station at the Golden Gate International Exposition on Treasure Island in 1939. The call letters were W6XBE. Soon after, in August the letters were changed to KGEI, referring to General Electric International.<\/p>\n<p>In 1941, at the conclusion of the Exposition,\u00a0KGEI\u2019s 50kw transmitter was relocated to the bayside marshlands of Redwood City\u2014now Redwood Shores.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to being a platform for General Electric to promote its products, KGEI was the only voice from America for GI\u2019s who were stationed overseas in the\u00a0 Pacific during WWll. General Douglas MacArthur\u2019s famous \u201cI Shall Return\u201d (to the Philippines) speech from Australia in 1944 was broadcast over their airwaves.

It hopes to raise awareness and also believes its HD Radio technology can be of help.<\/p>\n<p>Interference to AM from unintentional radiators including low-cost switching power supplies in EVs is a concern, even before the question of wireless charging comes into the discussion.<\/p>\n<p>EV sales are rising across the globe, and the United States has set a lofty goal that half of new vehicles sold are to be electric by 2030, according to the National Association of Broadcasters. With that comes growing concern over noise on the AM band in EVs. The electromagnetic interference from EV motors to AM radio signals is well established, and some carmakers have pared AM radio from dashboards because of concerns over audio quality.
