Many thanks to several SWLing Post readers who shared a link to this most recent single by the German rock band, Rammstein. The music site, Louder, posted an English translation of the lyrics:
(Source: Louder)
German alt-metallers Rammstein released their new single Radio late last week, and the internet has been abuzz with interpretations of the song, its lyrics and, of course, its accompanying video ever since.
Set throughout various eras of German history, the video (and song) examine East Germany’s relationship with Western culture – specifically the banning of the consumption of music, art and culture from the West by the German Democratic Republic.[…]
Rammstein Radio lyrics
[Presenter]
“Attention, attention here is Berlin Königs Wusterhausen and the German shortwave transmitter. We’re broadcasting dance music…”
[Verse 1]
We weren’t allowed to be part of it.
Nothing to see, talk or hear
But every night for an hour or two.
I’ve vanished from this world
A little happy every night
My ear very close to the world receiver
[Refrain]
Radio, my radio
I let myself be sucked into the ether
My ears become eyes
Radio, my radio
That’s how I hear what I don’t see
Silence secretly faraway woe
[Verse 2]
We weren’t allowed to be part of it.
Nothing to see, talk or disturb
Every song was forbidden
So dangerous foreign notes
But every night a little happy
My ear very close to the world receiver
[Refrain]
Radio, my radio
I let myself be sucked into the ether
My ears become eyes
Radio, my radio (my radio)
That’s how I hear what I don’t see
Silence secretly faraway woe
[Bridge]
Every night I secretly rose
On the back of music
Put your ears on your wings
Sing softly into one’s hands
Every night and fly again
I just walked away with the music
Float so through bright rooms
No borders, no fences.
[Interlude]
Radio, radio
Radio, radio
[Refrain]
Radio, my radio (my radio)
I let myself be sucked into the ether
My ears become eyes
Radio, my radio (my radio)
That’s how I hear what I don’t see
Silence secretly faraway woe

Click here to view the music video of Radio but be warned—you may consider this video NSFW (Not Safe For Work) as it contains brief nudity. As noted in the Southgate ARC, “The video revolves around the role and power of radio during the world wars, censorship and persecution of those who listened to foreign stations during this period.” If you’re easily offended by nudity and “adult situations”, you should skip watching it. An alternative would be to listen to the audio via a service like Spotify.

Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor, Roseanna Lakeland, who shares the following note from her new blog regarding a change in CRI Japan’s QSL policy.
Roseanna notes:
You probably are unaware but CRI Japan has had a major change up in their QSL card policies. CRI Japan issue QSL cards for broadcasts in English which is why I’m mentioning this!
The new policies now state that a postal reception report will be answered by a postal QSL card and an email reception report will be answered by an e-QSL.[…]
Thanks for the tip, Roseanna! I believe this makes sense. CRI seem to have a backlog of paper QSL cards to post so by restricting paper cards to those who submit listener reports by snail mail, it will cut down on the processing time. Those seeking a quick confirmation can simply submit their reception reports by email and thus receive an eQSL in short order.  Thanks again for the tip!

“We are aware of the following bugs or anomalies in release candidate 5 of WSJT-X 2.1.0. There is no need to provide further feedback on any of these issues.
1. The 64-bit executable for Windows resets the audio input gain to 100% on program startup, when the input audio device is changed, and when switching to a new configuration. Temporary workaround: If necessary, reset the Windows audio input to the desired level.
2. WSJT-X 2.1.0-rc5 does not run correctly under macOS using the current build.
3. Any use of the Settings screen will mistakenly set your operating mode to FT8 when you exit Settings by clicking OK. Temporary workaround: Reselect FT4 from the Mode menu. 4. You may occasionally experience a program crash with the message “Subprocess error: Subprocess failed with exit code 2”, followed by a details that include “At line 41 of file C:\Users\bill\src\k1jt\wsjtx\lib\ft4\ft4_downsample.f90” Temporary workaround: Restart the program.

1. The Associazione Radioamatori Italiani (A.R.I.) has the honour of inviting radio amateurs from all over the world to participate in the ARI International DX Contest.
2. Aim: It is a world-wide competition: everybody can work everybody.
3. Date and time: The contest will be held on each first full week-end of May starting at 1200Z Saturday and ending at 1159Z Sunday. In year 2019 the dates will be May 4-5.
4. Categories:
I. Single Operator – CW – HIGH/LOW POWER
II. Single Operator – SSB – HIGH/LOW POWER
III. Single Operator – RTTY – HIGH/LOW POWER
IV. Single Operator – MIXED – HIGH/LOW POWER
V. Multi Operator – Single TX – MIXED & HIGH POWER only
VI. Multi Operator – Multi TX – MIXED & HIGH POWER only
VII. SWL – Single Operator – MIXED
Notes:
a) For Single-Operator, only one signal is permitted at any time.
b) Use of packet cluster, skimmers or any other alerting system is permitted for all entrants.
c) Self spotting or asking other stations to spot you is not allowed.
d) Multi-Operator Single TX stations must adhere to the 10 minutes rule (both runner and multiplier station). Only one band can be used within a 10 minutes period, while another band can be used only to work a new multiplier. The 10 minutes period starts when the first QSO is logged on that band. QSO in violation of the 10 minutes rule should be left in the log and they will be automatically deleted by the Committee but no extra penalties will be applied. Be aware that an excessive number of violations may lead to the disqualification of the entry.
e) LOW POWER category entrants can use 100W maximum total output power.
f) It is forbidden the dual-CQ on the same band.
g) For Multi-Operator Multi-TX stations only one transmitted signal per band is permitted.
5. Bands: Bands from 10m through 80m, except WARC bands, are allowed according to IARU Band Plans.
6. Exchange: Italian stations will send RST and two letters to identify their province. Other stations will send RST and a serial number from 001. The serial number will NOT restart from 001 on each band/mode except for the Multi-Operator Multi TX stations. Multi-Operator Multi TX stations will have separate serial number for each band.
7. Multipliers.
  • each Italian province (110) count 1 (one) multiplier,
  • each DXCC country (except I & IS0 & IT9) count 1 (one) multiplier.
The same multiplier (country/province) can be counted once and only once for each band.
The 110 Italian provinces (by call-area) are the following:
  • I1: AL, AT, BI, CN, GE, IM, NO, SP, SV, TO, VB, VC.
  • IX1: AO.
  • I2: BG, BS, CO, CR, LC, LO, MB, MI, MN, PV, SO, VA.
  • I3: BL, PD, RO, TV, VE, VI, VR.
  • IN3: BZ, TN.
  • IV3: GO, PN, TS, UD.
  • I4: BO, FC, FE, MO, PC, PR, RA, RE, RN.
  • I5: AR, FI, GR, LI, LU, MS, PI, PO, PT, SI.
  • I6: AN, AP, AQ, CH, FM, MC, PE, PS (or PU), TE.
  • I7: BA, BR, BT, FG, LE, MT, TA.
  • I8: AV, BN, CB, CE, CS, CZ, IS, KR, NA, PZ, RC, SA, VV.
  • I0: FR, LT, PG, RI, RM (or ROMA), TR, VT.
  • IT9: AG, CL, CT, EN, ME, PA, RG, SR, TP.
  • IS0: CA, NU, OR SS, SU
PLEASE REMEMBER that I (Italy) IT9 (Sicily Island) and IS0 (Sardinia Island) are NOT country-multipliers.
8. QSO/Points:
  • QSO/HRD with own country counts 0 (zero) point but is good for the multipliers credit.
  • QSO/HRD with own continent counts 1 (one) point,
  • QSO/HRD with different continent counts 3 (three) points,
  • QSO/HRD with any Italian (I & IS0 & IT9) station counts 10 (ten) points.
The same station can be contacted on the same band once on SSB/CW/RTTY but only the first QSO is good for multiplier credit.
9. Final score: The Final Score is the sum of QSO/points from all bands multiplied by the sum of multipliers from all bands.
10. SWL Stations: Listeners are required to log both the callsign of the station heard and of the correspondent station. Score is calculated based only upon the station heard using the same rules as per the transmitting stations. A callsign may appear NOT more than 3 (three) times on each band as a correspondent station, regardless of mode.
WARNING/EXCEPTION: SWL log must be submitted within 60 hours after the end of the contest  (2359Z May 7, 2019)
11. LOG instructions:
ATTENTION PLEASE – LOG WEB UPLOAD ONLY
a. Only CABRILLO log will be accepted
b. LOG must be WEB-Uploaded at www.ari.it. A direct link to the upload page can be found here
c. LOG must be web-uploaded no later than 5 days after the contest (2359Z May 10, 2019)
WARNING/EXCEPTION: SWL log must be submitted within 60 hours after the end of the contest (2359Z May 07, 2019)
d. The Web-Uploader (or Robot) will send a confirmation on the log submission.
e. A list of the received LOG will be published on www.ari.it site.
A direct link to the received logs page can be found here

Unsportsmanlike conduct may be found in the LOG data as well in any other recording mean available to the Committee.
All Contest Committee decisions are official and final.
13. Awards: A plaque will be awarded to the top scoring station in each category. Special plaques can be awarded by the Contest Committee if country/continental/call-area participation can justify such a decision. A digital award/certificate will be awarded to all stations and will be either sent by email or downloaded from the web-site.
14. Implicit Declaration: by submitting an entry in the ARI International DX Contest you agree that:
a) you have read and understood the rules of the contest and agree to be bound by them;

In reply comments to the FCC (comments on comments already filed) on its Petition for Rule Making (RM-11828), ARRL has stressed that updating HF privileges for the entry-level Technician license “is the sole subject and intent” of the petition. ARRL filed its reply comments on April 29, urging the FCC to disregard comments irrelevant to its petition and maintaining that Technician privileges must be relevant within the context of today’s technological environment.
“[T]he increasingly rapid pace of change in communications technologies, coupled with the national need for self-training in science, technology, engineering, and math” necessitate the rule changes requested, ARRL asserted. “ARRL made its request because of the gap between today’s digital technologies and the privileges accorded the current entry-level Technician license.” ARRL characterized its proposal to update the rules as “balanced and modest.”
“If adopted, there would be no change to the operating privileges for all licenses classes other than those of the Technician class,” ARRL said. ARRL in 2018 asked the FCC to expand HF privileges for Technician licensees to include limited phone privileges on 75, 40, and 15 meters, plus RTTY and digital mode privileges on 80, 40, and 15 meters. The FCC invited comments on the proposal in April.
ARRL pointed out that some comments filed on its petition address subjects related to other open proceedings rather than expanding Technician privileges, citing comments cross-filed in such proceedings as WT Docket 16-239, RM-11708, RM-11759, and RM-11831. “Those filings should be considered in the proceedings that they address, rather than here,” ARRL said.
ARRL said some opposition appears based on fears of increased interference potential due to additional digital operation by Technicians. “It is improbable that all, or even a majority, of Technician licensees suddenly would develop a passion for the same digital technology,” ARRL said. “Our hope and expectation is that many will engage with digital modes on the high-frequency spectrum at issue, but it is unrealistic to suggest that every Technician licensee blessed with new privileges would suddenly appear on the same band.”
The comments note the development of very efficient digital modes such as FT8, which occupies just 90 Hz of spectrum per signal. “The experience with FT8 clearly demonstrates the attraction of the digital modes and the spectrum efficiencies that can be achieved,” ARRL said. “This is why opening up limited digital opportunities to new radio amateurs so clearly would serve the broad public interest as well as the specific purposes of Amateur Radio in experimentation and innovation, as enumerated in the governing FCC rules.”
ARRL further said that comments regarding disagreement on the definition of encryption for masking the content of certain digital transmissions also are “out of place in this proceeding” and “should not delay initiation of a proceeding” proposing to update Technician privileges.
“Technology has changed dramatically in the Amateur Radio domain, and the ARRL believes the requested Technician license enhancement would foster the regulatory goals for the Amateur Service and continue to increase amateurs’ historical experimentation and service in a meaningful way,” ARRL concluded.

Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor, Gregg Freeby, who writes:
I just noticed the Eton Executive Satellite is now priced under $100 on Amazon. I’m sure it will change again soon but this is the lowest I’ve seen it at $96.68 at the time of this writing. Not too many sub $100 radios out there with the features this radio has. I also noticed that this radio is “sold out” on the Eton website – they actually point you to Amazon, so it may be reaching it’s end of life from a retail standpoint.
Wow–Gregg this is the best price I’ve ever seen on the Executive Satellite.  If you’ve been considering one, this would be the time to pull the trigger. I have the non-executive version, but I’m still tempted to snag one of these. It is an excellent performer and the audio from the internal speaker is better than most other portables its size.
