 ABU launches monitoring network for SW frequency collision

The ABU is pushing for more of its members to join the Asian 
Monitoring Network (AMN), to monitor collisions in frequency usage 
among shortwave broadcasters in a move which could save millions of 
dollars in wastage.

Through its ABU-High Frequency Coordination (HFC) Committee, the 
ABU is hoping to establish the network to cut costs arising from 
wastage, said the ABU-HFC Steering Committee Chairman, IRIB Iran?s 
Yousef Ghadaksaz.

Currently, DW-Germany, IRIB-Iran and TRT-Turkey have already 
installed the software. PBC-Pakistan, AIR-India and RTPRC-China 
have expressed interest in becoming a part of the network.

Mr Ghadaksaz said monitoring reports were important to alert 
frequency managers in various organisations of collisions and help 
them work out an interference-free solution.

He said all broadcasters needed to set up a simple monitoring system 
are a radio receiver, a schedule recording software and Internet 
access. The SIOFT software can be downloaded free at 
www.Nschall.de.

?We need to promote shortwave monitoring among our members. It is 
desirable to involve as many ABU-HFC organisations in the monitoring 
process as possible so that they put in place their own bilateral 
monitoring arrangements,? he said during the ABU-HFC (High 
Frequency Coordination) Conference in Kuala Lumpur, which ended 
today.

The five-day coordination conference organised by the ABU was held to 
enable shortwave broadcasters in the Asia-Pacific region and other 
parts of the world to coordinate frequency channels on a seasonal 
basis.

This is done with a view to reducing interference in their services 
caused by clashing frequency usage. The ABU-HFC group includes 
some 40 shortwave broadcasters who broadcast some 5,000 
shortwave services every day, totaling over 10,000 hours of 
transmissions.
