[A-DX] R. Sama

[Wolfgang Bueschel]

Es gibt schon seit 2 Jahrzehnten evangelikale Gospelprogramme
(nahe HCJB / IBRA R Ibrahim / FEBA Radio / HOPE Radio )
mit POB Adresse in Limassol Cyprus, über die ich öfters berichtet habe.

Diese arbeiten sehr verdeckt und müssen konspirativ arbeiten,
weil sie natürlich mit ihrer Missionierung in den muslimischen Zielgebieten
'nicht wohl gelitten sind'. Deshalb gibt es auch keine Mailadressen
direkt in der muslimischen Welt, sondern in Zypern oder höchstens im
Libanon.

Gleiches gilt auch seit 20 Jahren für die TWR nahen Aussendungen
aus Yerevan und Bishkek mit ihren zentralasiaten(1377 kHz) Ablegern für
Afghanistan(5130 kHz),
und TWR India Subkontinent Aussendungen PAK/BGD.

aus 2013 Jahr
Souria al-Amal wird von TWRs arabischem Onlineprogramm Radio Sama live
produziert und enthaelt auch interaktive Elemente. Da Inter-net und die
neuen sozialen Netz-werke auch bei den traditionsreichen Radiomissionen
wie TWR und IBRA inzwischen die groessere Bedeutung haben, wird Hoffnung
fuer Syrien auch entsprechend begleitet. Die Arbeitsteilung der
Plattformen sieht so aus, dass im Radio die eher traditionellen
Bibelprogramme fuer ein glaeubiges Publikum kommen und im Internet
24-Stunden-Programme fuer die Netzgenerationen.

Re: UNIDentified in Arabic.
That mention of 12025 kHz at 2100 UT clearly points at HCJB Global. They
used to book such a slot at Sackville during winter and one of the UK
sites during summer. Nothing is shown in HFCC anymore, nothing was shown
in B12 either, so do these 12025 kHz transmissions still exist or have
they been terminated and now, it seems, being replaced by a cheaper option
(it could also be that it is just a free test, not necessarily leading to
a regular service)?

If its them the related corporate presentation would be

And here's the official site for the program, it's part of the package
known as Radio Sama, a gospel for the Middle East Network

this from DXLD 4-046, March 12, 2004:
ECUADOR [non]. Akhbar Mufriha (The "Joyful News" Station) / Radio Al-
Mahabba 12025, verified an e-mail report in one day with an e-mail reply
from Andy Braio <abraio @ hcjb.org>
Station Manager - Akhbar Mufriha. My report was e-mailed to the Arabic
Broadcasting Service ("ABS") at
<info @ arabicbroadcasting.com>

I obtained the address from the ABS website. Shukri Habibi at the ABS
forwarded my report to Andy Braio identifying the programs I heard. In his
reply to me Andy noted "Thank you for your note. You tuned into our Arabic
programs on "Akhbar Mufriha," the "Joyful News" station, 12025 kHz. We are
on every night from 2100 to 2230 UT.

I don't have a QSL card but this email verifies your reception. Thank you
for the report." He goes on to mention: "Our programs are typically
broadcast from Skelton U.K., although this time of year it has probably
been transferred to Sackville, Canada." He provided the station's website
address
<http://www.akhbarmufriha.com>
and indicated that Akhbar Mufriha is tied into its satellite station,
Radio Al Mahabba. Finally, Andy says, "Arabic Broadcasting is a partner of
ours who supplies us with four of our programs.

Radio Ibrahim is a cooperating partner radio station." I seem to recall
mentions in the hobby press about Radio Ibrahim being tied into HCJB is
some fashion. Apparently this is may be the case based on Andy's e-mail
address. So, it appears Radio Ibrahim is a program provider to another
program provider, Akhbar Mufriha, and all this relates to HCJB who is
keeping a low profile.
