Da un po di tempo Icom non metteva sul mercato nuovi ricevitori per cui era nell’aria la possibilità di vedere la casa giapponese presentare qualche novità. La prima si chiama IC-R8600 ed esteticamente assomiglia ad un IC-7300 con solo la parte ricevente. Le prime indiscrezioni lo danno come sdr con sovra campionamento da 0 a 3 Ghz con decodifica interna di sistemi digitali simile all’Aor  ar-dv1. Il secondo ricevitore è invece un palmare denominato IC-R30 dotato di un display molto generoso. Molto presto si dovrebbero conoscerne le caratteristiche tecniche.

RADIO FREE ASIA COMMEMORATES 20 YEARS OF BROADCASTING SEPTEMBER 2016

Radio Free Asia (RFA) announces its 20th anniversary QSL. Bringing free press to closed societies, RFA’s first broadcast was in Mandarin on September 29, 1996 at 2100 UTC. RFA is a private, nonprofit corporation broadcasting news and information to listeners in Asian countries where full, accurate, and timely news reports are unavailable. Acting as a substitute for indigenous free media, RFA concentrates coverage on events occurring in and/or affecting Burma, Cambodia, Laos, North Korea, the People’s Republic of China, and Vietnam. RFA does not express editorial opinions but provides news, analysis, commentary, and cultural programming in the languages of the country of broadcast. This design is RFA’s 62nd QSL and is used to confirm all valid reception reports from September – December 2016.

Created by Congress in 1994 and incorporated in 1996, RFA broadcasts in
Burmese, Cantonese, Khmer, Korean to North Korea, Lao, Mandarin
(the Wu dialect), Vietnamese, Tibetan (Uke, Amdo, and Kham), and Uyghur. RFA
strives for accuracy, balance, and fairness in its editorial content. As a ‘surrogate’
broadcaster, RFA provides news and commentary specific to each of its target
countries, acting as the free press these countries lack. RFA broadcasts only in
local languages and dialects, and most of its broadcasts comprise news of specific
local interest. More information about Radio Free Asia, including our current
broadcast frequency schedule, is available at www.rfa.org.
RFA encourages listeners to submit reception reports. Reception reports are
valuable to RFA as they help us evaluate the signal strength and quality of our
transmissions. RFA confirms all accurate reception reports by mailing a QSL card
to the listener. RFA welcomes all reception report submissions at
http://techweb.rfa.org (follow the QSL REPORTS link) not only from DX’ers, but
also from its general listening audience

Reception reports are also accepted by email at [email protected] and by mail to:

On August 15, let’s celebrate one year since MRI returned back on the air  on the occasion of  Ferragosto national holiday! Tune in to MRI  Thank you for your participation!

Every year many Italians observe Assumption Day, also known as Ferragosto, on August 15. This year the national holiday of Ferragosto  (which celebrates the Catholic belief that God assumed the Virgin Mary into Heaven at her death) coincides with the first anniversary since MRI,  after 15 years of dormancy, returned back to the airwaves  on 15 August 2015.

Although most of Italians go to the beach (or mountains) for Ferragosto, MRI will be on the air with a special broadcast as follows: from  0800 to 1000 UTC  on 7700 kHz USB and from 1030 to 1530 UTC on 15025 kHz.

To mark this anniversary, we’ll air  “Ferragosto Show”, with music, interviews and listener’s feedbacks.

But that is not all. In addition to our weekly DX shows  “Italian Shortwave Panorama” (in English) and  “Panorama Onde Corte” (in Italian),  we’ll be airing a repeat of our special programme  in Italian produced, in cooperation with Radio Europe  and IBC – Italian Broadcasting Corporation, to celebrate the  role of free shortwave radio on the occasion of 2016 World Radio Day.

We take this opportunity to invite shortwave listeners and DXers, in conjunction with this Special Ferragosto broadcasts  on August 15, 2016, to send your greetings in a form of audio clip (mp3-file) or  text  to [email protected]. We’ll  air  and include  your greetings in our next MRI Newsletter.

As usual MRI encourages reception reports from listeners. Audio clips (mp3-file) of our broadcasts are welcome! We QSL 100% and of course a  Special  Ferragosto  QSL verification will be sent to acknowledge reports about reception of above mentioned broadcasts.

Our e-mail address is: [email protected] but please don’t forget to include your postal address as some lucky listeners will also receive a printed QSL card.

Last but not least, we need your help! If you use social networks, please post an announcement on Facebook or send out a tweet the day before the broadcasts. You can also forward this message to a friend. This should help increase our potential audience.

We hope to hear from a lot of shortwave listeners about our special Ferragosto broadcasts.
