The nascent ADO Foundation received a proposal for an innovative project in Civil Protection from the civil association Cinco Panes y Dos Peces. Despite the fact that the new foundation began work and, as usually happens with innovative proposals, the Board of Directors that year did not approve financing the project for not fully realizing its benefits and contributions. However, years later he would rebuild the situation and become an important partner for the Enlaza México Program. Just on January 11, data provided by the United Nations (UN) was published: “The economic losses and costs due to disasters in the world last year reached more than 175 billion dollars, two thirds more than in 2015, reported Robert Glasser, United Nations representative for disaster risk reduction” (La Jornada). A few anecdotes In the seventies, a child of 6 or 7 years of age did not understand how the Radio worked, in particular the portable Panasonic model with a small black leather cover that had just arrived from the US. He knew how to turn it on and tune in to stations. He couldn't explain how it was possible to hear the different voices, but he imagines that the people he heard lived inside the device. Somehow they made themselves small and got there. On the side of the new receiver you could read: “Solid State”, that is, that radio belonged to the second and new generation that distinguished itself by abandoning bulbs. It was a radio with silicon transistors that allow the conductivity of electricity immediately, which did not happen with light bulbs that had to be heated in order to conduct energy. Years before, in the 1950s, Bruce Springsteen's grandfather, Fred “The Radio Man”, had the job of rescuing them, repairing them and selling them to poor black and white communities in Freehold, New Jersey. “The Boss” tells it this way in his autobiography Born to Run (2016): in a room “…full of electrical cables and glow tubes… he connects cables, solders and changes the melted tubes for new ones, we wait together for the same moment.” : that moment when the whispering breath, the beautiful and low static hum and warm twilight flash of electricity will once again animate the inert skeletons of the radios that we have saved from extinction... the resurrection is real. The void of silence will be absorbed and filled with the crackling and distant voices of Sunday preachers, charlatan salesmen, Big Bang music, early Rock and Roll and drama serials.
In the little boy's family they lived New Zealand WhatsApp Number together from the new portable Panasonic that stayed in his mother's room; the newly acquired Stromberg Carlson stereo console in the living room, an imposing piece of furniture that had its speakers on the sides, and the fabulous maple-colored Admiral brand furniture that was in his bedroom. Said radial piece of furniture simulated a two-door wardrobe, on the left it had the 5-band radio, amplitude modulated, frequency modulated and three short waves. There was also the main amplifier and the volume, balance, treble and bass controls. At the bottom there was a record player and speakers. But on the left side, upon opening the door, the black and white television was revealed, as well as the section where the 78, 45, 33 and 16 revolution records were placed. That Admiral device frequently made engineer Robles Gil visit his family to do the same task as “The Radio Man” and return the signal by changing incandescent tubes. The boy remembers that, snooping around in a repair, after heating the bulbs that took minutes, Mr. Spock from the iconic series “Star Trek” appeared on the television screen with his demon appearance that really It scared him. On other occasions he listened to the series “Lr years would come, other programs and other inventions linked to radio that do not cease to this day, such as radio “uploaded” to the Internet. From the programs “La Pantera” and “Robes, pajamas and slippers” to picking up the phone and participating in “Yes?, Which one do you vote for?”; succumb to the beautiful, trained and educated voices of announcers and hosts; sigh when listening to the opening notes of Dennis DeYoung's synthesizer from Styx with the song “Babe” that once served as an alarm clock when the Sony center-hinged black cube-type radio turned on automatically, a device bought from a high school classmate at a really cheap price bargain. Years later, “Querida” by Juan Gabriel was broadcast on Mexican radio, which lasted in first place in national pop for more than a year. The fateful September 19 arrived. Day when many TV and Radio stations were broadcasting normally until they were shaken by 8.1 degrees richter. This devastating phenomenon claimed the lives of several communicators. Jacobo Zabludovsky produced a masterful report through the “ancestor” of the cell phone, the radiotelephone, to narrate the destructive effects of nature in Mexico City.
It's funny, but have you noticed that national culture lacks tribute songs on the radio? The reader is urgent and will find few melodies that have the word “radio” in the title such as: “The Radio is playing your song” (Leo Dan). Occasionally you can hear references to it, but not to the device as a central theme, revealing its importance or influence in our lives: “I want Rock” (Menudo) “I spend all day listening to the radio, I look for that station that gives me Rock & Roll… ”. Two cases, but not of Mexican songs. On the other hand, in Saxon cultures the radio has a vigorous presence. From “Radio Ga Ga” (Queen) and “Video Killed the Radio Star” (The Buggles) that anticipated the (failed) death of radio, to “On The Radio” (Donna Summer), “Radio waves” (Roger Waters ), “Spirit of Radio” (Rush), and recently in this century “Radio Nowhere” (Bruce Springsteen) or the melodies that share the title “Radio” (Lana del Rey, Beyoncé, Robbie Williams and Jamiroquai). The power of radio Orson Wells was the first to show the potential of radio (which despite the advance of other intercommunication inventions has not been lost) with the adaptation of The War of the Worlds by HG Wells with the well-known events, both real and imaginary. In 1940, the radio in England served as a means of urging the union of the Kingdom in the face of war with Hitler's Nazi Germany. George V, overcoming his stutter, managed to convey that he had started the war (Episode portrayed in the film “The King's Speech”, Tom Hooper, 2010). Later, the BBC in London rebroadcast Winston Churchill's famous speech “Forming a new government” delivered in the House of Lords on May 13, with the famous and remembered: “I can only offer you blood, effort, sweat and tears.” ”. In the seventies, in the song by Tom Sholz of Boston, “More Than a Feeling”, many readers can see themselves reflected in the power of the radio. In its first verse: “I woke up this morning, and the sun was gone, I put on some music to start my day, I got lost in a song that is familiar to me, I closed my eyes and let myself go… more than a feeling” . The radio is there again, in the life of the protagonist, as well as in our daily lives. The above makes us reflect that the power of radio is imagination.
