[A-DX] Fw: day #2 for the public broadcaster ERT / ERA

[Wolfgang Bueschel]

Zacharias aus Thessaloniki sandte diese Situationsbeschreibung.

Alle Welt mahnt Reformen in allen griechischen Bereichen an, des stark
verkrusteten Selbsbedienungsladens seit Papa-Senior in 1982 ...
wenn's dann Ernst wird, schreit man auf, was ja sehr verständlich ist,
wie überall in der Welt.

Die ERT/ERA Mannschaft hat ja vor einem Jahr weiter gemacht, wie bisher...
eben Griechisch: Augen zu und weiter gemacht. Die jetzigen ERT / ERA 
Einschnitte wurden ja mehrfach vorher angekündigt.

Hoffen wir nur, dass MW+KW technisch gesehen bei der zukünftig geschrumpften
Organisation die Regionalen und der Dienst für die Griechen im Ausland am
Leben bleiben.

Ist ein schmaler Grat, heute wieder mal nationen-weiter Generalstreik,
das vergrault nur die Touristen, welche von jetzt 30% niedrigeren 
Hotel-Preisen profitieren.

ps. 1108 kHz ist wohl ein Tippfehler,
m.E. müsste das Kerkyra, Korfu 1008 kHz sein?

The aftermath of  the dark side of the greek public broadcasting


First  the  transmitters logged on 12/6

The following  frequencies were  with local program :
1278 , 1404, 1108. and on afternoon (after 17 )1512 which on 20 UTC was // 
1108

The following freqs were with only carrier
666 729 981,  and  1179 kHz,

IN Thessaloniki  the frequencies  of ERA  were  unmodulated in the morning
but on local afternoon they were vacant :
88 /90 /92 / 93.8 / 95.8 / 102
Also  93.6 which was  dominated by a  Serbian  station !


During my monitoring on 88  (1630 UTC ) I found  E-propagation with Arabic
station

902 TV (the voice of  the Communist party ) carried  nearly all the day the
transmissions  of NET for all Greece , via its digital stream. IN the
evening the signal  was from webstream , full of timeouts  but on local
nights  the signal was  quite clear as NET  used one  freq for analog signal
and on 52 (after 18??)  with digital signal There was  a transmission  fail
for ca 1 hour on 2030 to 2130 with a color  bar test card. As it is noticed
today  the program  was  transmitted with he help of a van from EBU

NET  was also  transmited via internet  via these sites : zougla.gr
enikos.gr cybc.cy alterpress.gr and targetradio.gr and for Europe via EBU
Via satellite only the signal from the parliament was available

The program  was  consisted mainly  with discussions  with members fom
various political parties  . Outside  the building of the public broadcaster
thousands  of people were demonstrated  against  the decree from the
government and later  a musical  has been held
A video has been aired on how the  staff from the transmission  facilities
in Hortiatis has been outed with About 20 policemen entering the farm and
the small  house !!

Another video shown demonstrations from Tripoli . ca 250 or more people
were outside the  building of the public broadcaster .More than 7 stations
on the regions of Peloponisos relay  the local program of ERA Tripoli  They
will  help them also technically in case any new obstacles from government
occur
