Staffers at Israel Radio say, that in 'mid October', the Kol Israel
English broadcasts will be moved to the REQA network instead of
Reshet
Alef. The English radio news would broadcast at the following local
Israel times: 0630-0645, 1245-1300, 1900-1915

Those of you who listen in Israel (whether a resident or just
visiting),
please mail Mr. Barel and let him know what you think of the time
changes
and how local reception of REQA compares to Reshet Alef.

Mr. Yosef Barel, IBA Director General
IBA House
Jaffa Road
Jerusalem

REQA is available on the following frequencies - so you can listen and
find out how reception is in the area you are in, even if you don't
understand the Russian or Amharic that REQA is currently broadcasting:

Akko 1575 AM (MW)
Yavne 954 AM (MW)
Upper Galilee 94.4 FM
Haifa 93.7 FM
Tel Aviv 101.2 FM
Jerusalem 101.3 FM
Beer Sheva 107.3 FM

Of course, if the local times change, it would impact shortwave and
web
broadcasts as well. Since these are domestic broadcasts, the primary
concern is the domestic audience.

How come Israeli FM has both even and odd numbered frequencies? In the
US, all FM is odd, ie 101.1, 101.3, 101.5, etc. But the list above has
both even and odd. Also, don't the Tel Aviv and Jerusalem freqs
interfere, since the cities are only 30 miles or so apart?

Outside of the US/Canada it's not uncommon to have both odd and even
FM frequencies. Both the Tel Aviv and Jerusalem transmitters are
low power.

I show my American ignorance again. FM in America usually runs at
50kw transmitter power or more, since the transmitters have to serve
urban areas spanning 80-100 miles in some cases. Actually, I'm surprised
that Tel Aviv and Jerusalem haven't merged into one big sprawl
considering the numbers of Jews moving to Israel-here in California
cities that were once 50 miles or more apart have become endless
suburbs.

I once sent an item I auctioned on eBay to the winner in Paris. His
postal code was something like 75016. And yes, it ended up in Louisiana.

I didn't realize that both odd and even was proper either. When
someone told me the Tel Aviv/Jerusalem frequencies, I thought that one
of them was a typo... So I had to confirm the frequency. I'm not 100%
sure, but I think that those transmitters are less then a 1kW a piece.

Clocks will be set back in two weeks The Interior Ministry
has announced that summer daylight saving time will end in
two weeks, on Thursday night between October 2 and 3. At 1
a.m. clocks will be turned back one hour to midnight.
Daylight saving time this year lasts 189 days.

This will avoid the zip code problem:

BTW, the local post office cancelation stamp spells it Yerushalayim.

Mr. Yosef Barel
IBA House
161 Jaffa Road
Jerusalem 94342

Write that as:

94342 Jeursalem
Israel

Or better yet:

Yosef Bar-El
Binyan IBA
Rechov Yaffa 161
94342 Yerushalayim
ISRAEL


Which is the transliteration of the Hebrew address in latin letters.
Many post office workers here read the Roman alphabet, but don't understand
English.


BTW, Bar-El means "son of G-d", which was probably the meaning of their
family name they came to Israel with, such as Godson, or Gottsohn, etc.
