" Five months ago was overshadowed because its antennas inside the Monastery of Camaldolesi (Napoli) were a source of electromagnetic pollution.
Thanks to an agreement with Rai Way, American Forces Network (AFN), the issuer Broadcasting of the U.S. military in Europe, however, is back on the air for thousands of U.S. troops operating in the air and naval bases in Campania. The powerful transmitters of hafnium have been moved only a few hundred meters now use the space and facilities occupied by Rai Way in the hills of Camaldoli, in the heart of the "Metropolitan Park Hills Naples
established by Campania Region in 2004 and Site of Community Importance under the system of the network "Natura 2000". Operational by 1 March 2000, Rai Way (wholly owned by RAI - Italian Radio and Television SpA), is the owner of plants and transmission network and TV and radio broadcasting of Rai.

Negotiations between the U.S. military and managers of public companies had been launched since last year, were to expire in fact the words of yet another extension for the AFN broadcasts from the Monastery of Camaldolesi Italian and the court had ordered the closure Final plant by April 29, 2009 for the "too high level of electromagnetic emissions". Transfer equipment in a nearby site Rai, the U.S. military initiated the pressing across the board to get permission from the Ministry of Communications to power on the signal. "For quickly resolve the matter, the AFN staff worked for months with the help of Rai, "say the U.S. Navy Command Naples-Capodichino. "Both Rai and the Environment Agency have carried out numerous tests have shown that electromagnetic emissions from the new transmitters AFN responded in a manner acceptable to the standards required by regulations and after long negotiations with the Italian authorities have obtained permission to resume broadcasts, using the 107 MHz frequency that occupied the same until April. "
Before being blacked out, the environmental agency had found that emissions from the antenna 5000 watts Power
dall'AFN installed on the walls of the Monastery of Camaldoli exceeded 10 times the levels allowed by law (57 volts per meter compared to 6 volts / meter accepted as a maximum threshold). According to Legambiente complaint that a number of years the high electromagnetic pollution of the plants of the U.S. military, in some measurements would have been recognized even intensity of the electric component of 330 volts per meter, 55 times higher then the standard security . The AFN station had already been subject to confiscation by order of the public prosecutor of Naples, 30 March 2001, following a campaign of surveys designed dall'ISPEL (Istituto Superiore Safety at Work) and ASL Naples. All solved then? Even so, the restart signal
AFN has led to enormous problems in fact one of the historic bells stations, Radio Network Riviera, committed to the promotion of information campaigns, promotion and awareness of the rights enshrined in the Law 68/99 against all forms of discrimination against the disabled. "When the AFN began broadcasting our station has been completely overshadowed," says sociologist Antonio Di Rosario, Director of Riviera Radio and president of the social cooperative "friend" who owns it. "A story Kafkaesque. On 21 April this year, having regard to the closure of the inside of the Monastery of Camaldolesi and the desire expressed by the U.S. to broadcast by satellite, Campania Territorial Inspectorate of the Ministry of Economic Development and Communications, cleared n . 5983, authorized Radio Riviera to reposition itself from 88.4 to 107 Mhz. We were greatly puzzled to move to a frequency that we knew to be in use at the U.S. military, but in the end we accepted the new frequency, making loading a charge of € 35,000 to buy new antennas, new pylons and new transmission facilities. "

"Then AFN must have decided to return to the ether, obtaining light Green by the Ministry of Communications for the 107 Mhz, "said Rosario. "What no one felt a duty to warn and then, moreover, that the Inspectorate of Naples had responded candidly to the officials of the ministry that the U.S. move the plant from the site of the private drive Camoldolesi Rai did not involve issues of any kind or interference with third parties. Naples is, he deliberately concealed the permission granted us. And we think that the same inspector had warned in mid-September 2009 retuned within 15 days on 106 or, alternatively, on 107 Mhz, threatening otherwise to start sanctions. " Even the attribution
of the 107 Mhz network in the U.S. armed forces is weak both in terms of legal proceedings. "The Americans, by convention, can transmit without interfering Italian broadcasters, only in their bases. Instead they do what they like and currently use 24 transmitters in our country, more than a third of what the AFN has in an area that extends from Europe to Egypt, "said Antonio Di Rosario. "Until the 1974 deregulation plan, frequencies above 104 MHz were allocated to the military. Then we extended the use to private broadcasters up to 108 Mhz, but inexplicably, the AFN has retained the 107 Mhz that occupied since 1954 for entertainment troops stationed in Bagnoli. With the passage of much of U.S. personnel to the new base of Gricignano, it was imperative that the AFN broadcasts were transferred within this structure, but continued with dangerous intensity from the hill of Camaldoli. Coming now to overshadow those who got regular grant from the Ministry ... ". Riviera Radio has not won to date, and after the fax to the Italian authorities and American a letter to the president's meetings with Obama and the Command base in Naples, the U.S. consul officials and the Ministry of Rome, the issuer came back on the old frequency of 88.4 Mhz. "We are waiting to be put on paper the grant, but in the meantime, however, our signal is disturbed by interference from other transmitters, "says the director of Radio Riviera. "If this does not happen within the next week, we will go with hundreds of protesters in front of the Parliament to defend the right of our issuer to continue to exist. Meanwhile, however, we can not understand what has to do in this whole affair Rai Way, which also has no license and is driving AFN plants in Italy as a network operator in anticipation of 2012, when radio stations will go digital. Imagine that this is a deal worth millions of € .... " not un'illazione is to Riviera Radio. The relationship with the U.S. military has in fact provided significant financial resources to the concessionaire of public service broadcasting exclusively in Italian, in the hands of 99.56% to the Ministry of Economy and Finance. In 2000-2001, the RAI - Italian Radio and Television has signed with the U.S. Department of Defense contracts worth a total of $ 2,713,011 for "maintenance and repair of various electronic equipment and telecommunications." Even more the business of the subsidiary Rai Way: $ 3,410,874 in 2003-2005 for three contracts signed with the Regional Contracting Office, Vicenza, agency responsible for the contracting of services within the Operational Command SETAF (Southern European Task Force) of the U.S. Army in Vicenza. Rather than the ambiguous subject: "Operation / Electronic & Communications Facilities". "
