Rádio Portugal Livre
''Rádio Portugal Livre'' (RPL) was a radio station in Portuguese run by the Portuguese Communist Party (PCP). From 1962 until 1974 it broadcast on shortwave from Bucharest, Romania in opposition to Portugal's authoritarian '' Estado Novo'' regime. The first broadcast by RPL took place on 12 March 1962. Bucharest was chosen as its base because Romania welcomed foreign opposition movements. However, the station functioned clandestinely, often announcing that it was coming from Prague or Moscow. Some in Portugal assumed that the broadcasts came from the remote Portuguese mountain range of Serra da Estrela. These underground operations were in contrast to the PCP's '' Rádio Voz da Liberdade'', which used the facilities of Radio Algiers and freely admitted this. The station presented interviews with PCP figures, including the party's leader, Álvaro Cunhal, who was living in Moscow, and also gave full readings from the PCP newspapers Avante! and O Militante.

Radio Stations Disestablished In 1974
Radio is the technology of signaling and communicating using radio waves. Radio waves are electromagnetic waves of frequency between 30 hertz (Hz) and 300 gigahertz (GHz). They are generated by an electronic device called a transmitter connected to an antenna which radiates the waves, and received by another antenna connected to a radio receiver. Radio is very widely used in modern technology, in radio communication, radar, radio navigation, remote control, remote sensing, and other applications. In radio communication, used in radio and television broadcasting, cell phones, two-way radios, wireless networking, and satellite communication, among numerous other uses, radio waves are used to carry information across space from a transmitter to a receiver, by modulating the radio signal (impressing an information signal on the radio wave by varying some aspect of the wave) in the transmitter. In radar, used to locate and track objects like aircraft, ships, spacecraft ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Avante!
''Avante!'' (''Onwards!'') is the official newspaper of the Portuguese Communist Party (PCP). Founded in 1931, it continues to be published to this day. The newspaper's motto is ''Workers of the World, Unite!'' and has been present in every edition of the newspaper since the very first. Its headquarters is in Lisbon. The newspaper started to be an irregular publication due to the constant repression against the Portuguese Communist Party led by the authorities, who consistently assaulted the clandestine printing offices. After a major regorganization in 1940, the Party was able to make Avante! a better distributed newspaper among the working class, reporting events such as World War II or the Colonial War without censorship. After the Carnation Revolution, Avante! had a major role among the working class, supporting the revolutionary changes. After those years, the paper lost influence, but has still a major influence among the workers, mainly in Lisbon, Setúbal and Alentejo. ...
