2. Secondly I would like to mention the great help I got from Anker
Petersen, Chairman of the Danish Shortwave Club International. He was
extremely helpful at finalizing our programme for this Conference Day
today. As you probably know, Anker Petersen had an eye-operation on the
22nd of September, and because of that, he cannot attend at this
conference. He was scheduled to give us a lecture here on the subject:
"Anker's Radio Trip to Northern Part of India and Bhutan."
3. Last but not least I wish to express my gratitude to Risto Vaehaekainu,
who was always ready to give good advices and useful recommendations for
this conference. [...] Thank you Risto for your kind support.
4. I also wish to mention that Dario Monferini also showed a very positive
attitude for our conference and he was ready to contribute to our
conference today with his own story: "2009 Radio Travelling in Russia and
other Eastern European Countries. " Thank you Dario very much for that.
Risto Vaehaekainu from Finland, Anker Petersen and Kaj Bredahl Joergensen
from Denmark, Dario Monferini from Italy, those are the people who are
always writing to me. All other DX-Clubs show a significant silence. Why
is that ?
[...] After the welcome, he gave the word to Mr. Turan Nurettin from TRT
External Services, who among other things told us, that TRT started in
1936 and was reestablish in 1943. Nowadays they are broadcasting in 32
different languages with a total of 168 hours in the foreign languages
each day, and 43 hours in Turkish each day. In March 2008 they added Dari,
Pashto, Uzbek, Uyghur and Armenian to their service. They have 30
languages on Internet for the time being. In the near future they will
also use DRM broadcast to their service. At the moment they got about
2.500 reception reports a month and 300.000-400.000 entries each week on
their WEB pages.
Then Risto Vaehaekainu, Finland told about "EDXC conferences - past,
present and future" giving a very good picture of the EDXC history and the
background for founding the EDXC, which took place at Ankers home. He also
briefly mentioned the next conference in 2010, where four possibilities
came up: Bulgaria, Lithuania, Sweden and Washington DC, USA. More about
this later in my article.
The next speaker was Toshimichi Ohtake, Japan who had a lecture about
"Japanese Radio World" seen from the Japanese point of view. Toshi also
showed two slides, the first about "Good Happenings" in the world of
shortwave radio, and the second about "Bad Happenings". It was quite
interesting and suggestive.
The third and last speaker was Dario Monferini, Italy who told about "2009
Radio Travelling in Russia and other Eastern European countries", with
visits in St. Petersburg, Moscow, Kazan, Samara, Yalta and Kiev, to
mentioning a few destinations, and where he also visited some Russian DXers,
and was DX-ing in various places on his trip.
In the afternoon we all went on a guided sightseeing tour with an English
speaking guide to the Kemal Atatuerk museum and mausoleum in the center of
Ankara. [...] After the visit to the Kemal Atatuerks museum we went to the
old part of Ankara situated in the very center of Ankara, on a high hill,
inside an ancient castle area surrounded by a tall wall. Here the life was
