WHERE HAS RADIO TASHKENT INTERNATIONAL DISAPPEARED?
This is first Net-club program of Radio Tashkent International this year.
We'd like to start with expressing gratitude for nice Christmas and New Year
cards and greetings our permanent listeners from Cosmos Club of India, Mr.
Swopan Chakroborty from India, Mr. Mitul Kansal from India, Secretary of
Foreign Radio Listeners Club from India Mr. Prasenjit Bhakat, President of
Azeemi International Listeners and Linkers Club of Pakistan Mr.Riaz Hussain
Malik and many others. Besides, we received letters and reception reports
from USA, France, England, Germany, Latvia, Russia, China, India, Pakistan,
Bangladesh, Japan, Indonesia, Brasil.
Here is congratulation letter from Mr. Davi Lucas, Brasil: "Hello dear
friends!!! I'm Davi Lucas, from Belo Horizonte, Brasil. I want to send my
greetings to you and I hope that the next year be very good for all you in
all of your lives, and that you have peace and health and a happy new year
of 2006!!! Strong embrace for all you!!! And that your waves from your radio
station always be on the air!!!73's!!"
Thank you, dear Mr. Davi Lucas, for nice words! May the year 2006 be most
successful for you and your family, dear friend. Stay with us in 2006!
Most of the listeners have been worried greatly by the fact that RTI stopped
its short-wave broadcasting and all broadcasts are available now only on the
web-site of RTI. For example, here is the letter of our American listener
Mr. Hans Johnson from Frlorida, who addressed our director: "Dear Director
Guliamov: I am trying to hear your English service, which I first heard in
1977, on shortwave. I can no longer hear this service on shortwave, are you
still using shortwave? If you are, can you please provide me with your
schedule. If you are off shortwave, can you let me know why and how I can
hear you now?"
Dear friend Mr. Hans Johnson and all other listeners. We inform all those,
who are trying to tune to RTI, that our broadcasts are available now only on
our web-site http://ino.uzpak.uz on the left side navigation. The time of
broadcasting has remained the same as it is in the broadcasting bands
section of the web-site.
Meanwhile, it is a pleasure to note that some of our listeners have already
adapted to the change in broadcasting of RTI. The letter of our French
listener Mr. Jean-Michel Aubier is the proof of that: " Hello from France.
Today I picked up your broadcast in ?nglish at 1330 UTC on your web site.
The reception was excellent. It's a good idea to broadcast on the Internet.
It's better than short waves. I recorded the programme, but I didn't listen
to it. It will be done in the following days.
I would be glad to hear Radio Tashkent International in French, but I
suppose there are no plans for this idea! I couldn't catch the German
programme. Did you stop these transmissions? I wish you all the best for
2006".
Thank you very much, Mr. Jean-Michel Aubier, for your letter. You're right
that we are now not planning to start service in French language. But our
German transmissions have remained online at the same time: 19:30 and 20:30
UTC. We hope to hear from you soon, Mr. Jean-Michel Aubier, and have a nice
listening!
Similar letter came from our English listener Mr. Christopher lewis. He
writes as follows: "I can hear RTI very clearly now, although I will miss
the shortwave broadcasts. It is very important that Uzbekistan has its
international voice. I am interested in your country, and learn much through
your transmissions".
Thank you for your kind words, Mr. Christopher lewis. As a token the
interest you take in Uzbekistan we broadcasted song of the Uzbek people
singer Yulduz Usmanova.
We continue the main topic of present time - online broadcasting of RTI. In
the beginning of January we received several letters of our listeners who
told that they still had been listening to us on short-waves. Here is one of
them, which we had received on January 6. Our permanent listener Mr. Alex
Torbeni from Indonesia wrote as follows: "Hello and greeting from Bali
again. First of all, I want to wish you all a Happy New Year 2006! Let me
tell you that I still listen to RTI and as a proof, I send you a reception
report. Would you please kindly verify this reception report with any QSL.
Many thanks for your QSL card for verifying my reception report of November
2005. It's a nice QSL card with the panorama of Tashkent. By seeing it, I
may know that Tashkent is also a nice and clean city. I have a question for
you. Do the people in Uzbekistan, especially the Moslems, also celebrate Eid
ul Ad'ha? Is Eid ul Ad'ha a public holiday in Uzbekistan? Eid ul Adha is a
public holiday in Indonesia. Many people in Indonesia went a Hajj pilgrimage
to Mecca during this season. Do the Moslems in Uzbekistan also have the same
tradition?"
Thank you, Mr. Alex Torbeni, for your devotion and interest to our station
and country. Concerning QSL cards. By now we don't have any QSL card
available because of changes in our structure. Our correspondence section
will forward a letter with some stamps to you a little bit later. However,
we gladly answer your question about Eid ul Adha. Yes, it is a public
holiday in Uzbekistan and it is a day off. This year about 5000 Moslems from
Uzbekistan successfully participated in Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca and Medina.
They were brought there by the national air company "Uzbekistan Havo
Yullari" and were accompanied by doctors, cookers and interpreters.
It should be noted that we received a lot of congratulation letters from our
listeners on the occasion of Moslem holyday Eid ul Ad'ha. We thank Ashik
Eqbal Tokon from Bangladesh and Malik Ameer Bakhsh from Pakistan for their
good wishes on this occasion.
RTI also expresses gratitude to the permanent Japanese listener Mizuno
Mitsuaki and Yuri Dimbovsky from Latvia for their reception reports.
Besides, we thank our Pakistani listeners Syed Mubashir Hussain, Abid
Hussain Sajid, Imran Haidar for their letters.
With this we bring our Net-Club program to an end. We remind you, dear
listeners our web-site address: http://ino.uzpak.uz. We're looking forward
to your letters with questions, share with us stories about your life and
family, and your thoughts about the programs of RTI.
