FEBA (Far East Broadcasting Associates) et FEBC (Far East Broadcasting Company) sont deux organisations missionnaires chrétiennes évangéliques sœurs qui utilisent principalement la radio ondes courtes et les médias numériques pour diffuser des messages et des valeurs bibliques auprès des populations difficiles d'accès, notamment dans le monde tibétain. 
Ces deux entités collaborent étroitement pour toucher la communauté tibétaine :

  • La radio Gaweylon : Gérée en partenariat avec FEBA Radio, cette station de radio (dont le nom signifie « Bonne Nouvelle » en tibétain) émet en langue tibétaine centrale. Leurs programmes intègrent de la musique traditionnelle, des conseils de santé publique, des cours de développement personnel et des enseignements chrétiens. L'objectif est de s'adresser aux bouddhistes tibétains résidant au Tibet, mais aussi aux réfugiés et minorités en Inde, au Népal, au Bhoutan et à travers le monde. 
  • Les diffusions de la FEBC : De son côté, la FEBC émet également des programmes religieux (notamment depuis ses stations comme celle de Manille/Bocaue aux Philippines) en dialectes spécifiques, à l'image du tibétain khams.

Free North Korea Radio 7610

SIO 555

Freq 7610 at 20:00 UTC

English and koréan



The Free North Korea Radio (Korean: 자유북한방송; Hanja: 自由北韓放送; RR: Jayu Bukhan Bangsong) is a radio broadcaster based in Seoul, South Korea.[1] The station is run primarily by North Korean refugees and defectors and frequently broadcasts shortwave transmissions of news and information to the general population inside North Korea. The radio was established by Kim Seong-min, a former North Korean military monitor for foreign broadcasts, who was influenced by the foreign broadcasts that he monitored and defected from North Korea in 1996.

Free North Korea Radio has received an award from Reporters Without Borders in acknowledgement of its efforts.[2]

Free North Korea Radio started broadcasting from Seoul in 2004.[3] It is a project of the Defense Forum Foundation, a U.S.-based nonprofit organization.

In 2025 it was one of the few remaining outlets broadcasting into North Korea, as Voice of America and Radio Free Asia stopped their Korean language broadcasts following American cuts for international projects that mostly dismantled the United States Agency for Global Media that was supervising such projects.[4]

LW antennas at Beidweiler for RTL are set to be demolished on November 6


Émetteurs GO de Beidweiler


2000 kW on 234 kHz, 3 antennas of 290 meters long.

The long-wave radio transmitters at Beidweiler are set to be demolished on November 6.
The long-awaited date for the demolition of the old radio transmission masts at Beidweiler has finally been announced. The three masts will be brought down using explosives on Friday, November 6, at 3:00 p.m. The operation is being carried out by the German company Liesegang, based in Hürth, Germany. The necessary preparations are already underway.
As the event has generated significant interest—not only in Junglinster but well beyond—RTL will broadcast the demolition live. The three transmission masts belong to Broadcasting Center Europe (BCE), a subsidiary of the RTL Group.
From 1972 until 1:00 a.m. on January 2, 2023, the masts were used to broadcast French-language RTL radio programs to France.
The Beidweiler radio transmitters consist of three identical 290-meter-tall masts, secured by guy wires. Unlike their predecessors in Junglinster—which are wider at the base—the Beidweiler masts are not self-supporting; instead, they are held upright by guy wires.
The date for the demolition of the steel transmission masts in Junglinster remains unknown. Built in the 1950s, they were originally 250 meters tall but were shortened in 1983 to their current height of 215 meters. Since the 1970s, these masts have served as a backup for those at Beidweiler.

DX FANZINE (for MW/SW listeners) by Antonello Napolitano

 " DX Fanzine, originally launched in 1999/2000, is a compiled publication (not a cut-and-paste job) dedicated to sharing DX and non DX reception notes, loggings, QSL details, and general news about medium and shortwave (AM) broadcasting stations. As most printed DX magazines went out of print or shifted to "digital-only" versions of their former selves, we set out to create a bulletin as simple as possible covering essentially two things: what is being heard on medium and short waves, and how to obtain a QSL verification from a radio station. DX Fanzine is distributed every month, free of charge, via e-mail to clubs, organizations, and individuals worldwide, and is also available online at www.dxfanzine.com Both the current and all previous editions of DX Fanzine can be accessed from the homepage and remain available almost indefinitely. DX Fanzine also has a Facebook Group, which you can join at: https://www.facebook.com/groups/dxfanzine D-Xpress: The Mid-Month Supplement In mid-November 2024, "D-Xpress" was launched as a separately mailed, mid-month newsletter designed to supplement the monthly "DX Fanzine," which is issued at the end of each month. D-Xpress was created to allow for faster release of medium and short-wave loggings and therefore does not include other regular columns such as "QSL Review," which remains exclusive to DX Fanzine. Since not every DX Fanzine subscriber receives this new supplement, loggings that appear in D-Xpress are also repeated in DX Fanzine. D-Xpress is scheduled to be sent to subscribers on the 16th of each month (except August). If, in addition to DX Fanzine, you would also like to receive D-Xpress, simply send a message to: dxf@dxfanzine.com “Bande Rumorose”: DX Show In April 2024, DX Fanzine also launched a DX radio show in Italian titled "Bande Rumorose," broadcast by several Italian medium-wave stations, as well as every Sunday morning at 11:30 AM Central European Time (UTC+1, UTC+2 during summer time) on our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@BandeRumoroseChannel  "
