  Jeff: Recently, Wavescan listener Vince Koepke sent us a pdf copy of a brochure produced by the Zenith Radio Corporation in 1955, detailing some of the early history of the company.  If you’ve ever been lucky enough to own a Zenith Trans-Oceanic receiver, you’ll know how important this company was to the shortwave listening audience.  The brochure makes for fascinating reading, and so we’ve decided to serialize it over a few weeks here in the broadcast.  This week, Ray Robinson has the first part, covering from the very early days up until the early 1920’s.

  Myanmar - Thazin Radio has been silent on shortwave since April 7, 2024. It seems shortwave transmitter Pyin Oo Lwin is having a bit of trouble. However, I caught them tuning in on 639 kHz just now, at 13:00 UTC, mingling with a Thai station. Thazin Radio is part of the Myawaddy Communication Center and is owned by the military in Myanmar. It's financed by Myanmar Economic Holdings Limited (MEHL), which is a conglomerate owned by the military.

  Special thanks to Ray Robinson and Jeff White for sharing a recent edition of Wavescan on AWR. Jeff: A couple of times recently, broadcasting from Tangier in Morocco has been mentioned in other topics.  A few weeks back in his item on radio broadcasting from Gibraltar, Ray Robinson noted that before Radio Gibraltar was set up in 1957, a one-hour daily program for Gibraltar had been broadcast by Pan American Radio via Radio Tangier, just across the strait.  Also, in one of the items on Sweden, it was noted that IBRA radio began by buying time on a station in Tangier.  ..read more
