Блог японского dx-иста
----------------------------------
Посмотрел блог японского dx-иста http://fmdx.blog81.fc2.com. Привлекли внимание аудиозаписи радиостанций 
СССР. Есть там много аудио уже и новой эпохи РФ. Дублирую своё сообщение с vcfm.ru - тема "Всесоюзное 
радио" - в адаптированной версии. Есть только одна проблема, если кликать по ссылке на запись не со 
страницы блога, то во многих браузерах выдаёт ошибку 404. Для тех, кто захочет послушать, есть один выход 
- скопировать ссылку в буфер обмена, а затем вставить в строку какого-нибудь аудиоплеера "открыть URL". 
Проверял, открывается без проблем.

Омская область.
-----------------------
С 3 июля 2017 года жители города Тюкалинска Омской области смогут услышать на частоте 103,1 FM 
программы радиостанции "Радио Сибирь" ("МКР-Медиа"). 
Передатчик, установленный на объекте связи омского ОРТПЦ, обеспечит уверенный приём сигнала не только 
в Тюкалинском районе, но и на части территории Крутинского района. Общее число новых потенциальных 
радиослушателей составит более 30 тыс. человек. 
Тюкалинск станет 28 городом вещания "Радио Сибирь", но при этом первым, где трансляция будет 
организована по партнёрской модели. Сетевым партнёром "Радио Сибирь" выступило московское ООО "Алекс 
Медиа", которое вместе с ретрансляцией омского эфира "Радио Сибирь" намерено предложить тюкалинцам 
выпуски местных новостей и прогноз погоды. 
 
- Стратегия развития "Радио Сибирь" предполагает активную экспансию не только в центры, но и в малые 
города регионов. Со стартом вещания в Тюкалинске мы открываем новую страницу в многолетней истории 
старейшей сибирской радиостанции. Особенно приятно, что наш первый сетевой партнёр сам обратился с 
предложением о сотрудничестве. Это свидетельствует не только о качестве программного продукта, 
подтверждённом отраслевыми наградами, но и о его коммерческой привлекательности. Работу по схеме 
сетевого партнёрства холдинг считает перспективной и намерен использовать её в развитии своих теле- и 
радиоактивов, - отметил заместитель генерального директора по вещанию холдинга "МКР-Медиа" Роман 
Климас. 
Сегодня "Радио Сибирь" работает в городах восьми регионов России: Омской, Томской, Кемеровской, 
Иркутской областях, Забайкальском крае, Ханты-Мансийском автономном округе, республиках Алтай и 
Бурятия. В 2016 году радиостанция увеличила диапазон вещания на Кузбассе и зазвучала в городе Борзе и 
Улётовском районе Забайкальского края. Готовится запуск "Радио Сибирь" в двух малых городах Бурятии.
"Радио Сибирь" начало вещание в 1992 году в Томске. С 2014 года входит в состав холдинга "МКР-Медиа".

"Газпром-Медиа" приобрел у Сергея Руднова частоту "Невы FM" в Петербурге
Холдинг "Газпром-Медиа" стал владельцем частоты 95,9 FM в Петербурге, на которой ранее вещала 
входившая в "Балтийскую Медиагруппу" радиостанция "Нева FM". В Петербурге уже работают шесть из 
десяти принадлежащих "Газпром-Медиа" форматов.
В середине июня новым владельцем зарегистрированного в Петербурге ООО "Агентство рекламных 
технологий "Балтика" стало входящее в "Газпром-Медиа" ООО "Открытое радио", свидетельствует ЕГРЮЛ. 
А 30 июня у первой компании сменился гендиректор - теперь это Михаил Михайлов, руководитель филиала 
"ГПМ Радио" в Петербурге.
Само ООО "Агентство рекламных технологий "Балтика", как следует из материалов Роскомнадзора, является 
владельцем лицензии № 20043, позволяющей осуществлять радиовещание в Петербурге на частоте 95,9 FM. 
На ней много лет вещала станция "Нева FM", но сейчас официально радиоканал называется "Петербургские 
белые ночи". СМИ с таким названием было зарегистрировано в Роскомнадзоре в феврале этого года.
"Нева FM" входила в "Балтийскую Медиагруппу", основанную Олегом Рудновым. В январе 2015-го тот 
скончался, и управление медиагруппой было доверено Араму Габрелянову, владельцу холдинга "Ньюс 
Медиа" (Life.ru, телеканал Lifenews и др.). В сентябре 2015-го г-н Габрелянов принял решение распустить 
редакцию радиостанции: в ее эфире стала звучать только музыка.
В марте 2017-го перестал работать сайт радиостанции. А в июне 2017 года, как сообщал "Лениздат" со 
ссылкой на пост ЦЭВТ Санкт-Петербурга и Ленобласти в сети "ВКонтакте", вещание на частоте 95,9FM было 
приостановлено до 15 августа.
До июня 2017-го владельцами ООО "Агентство рекламных технологий "Балтика" были Сергей Руднов, 
наследник основателя "Балтийской Медиагруппы", и его партнер Сергей Лашаев. Вместе они, к примеру, 
владеют информагентством "Балтинфо".
В 2015-м, когда станция еще активно работала, выручка по РСБУ ООО "Агентство рекламных технологий 
"Балтика" достигла 55 млн руб., прибыль от основной деятельности - 35,2 млн руб., чистая прибыль - 32,9 
млн руб. Данных за 2016 год нет.
Гендиректор "ГПМ Радио" Юрий Костин не ответил на запрос AdIndex. Директор по корпоративным 
коммуникациям "Газпром-Медиа" Ирина Осадчая отказалась от комментариев. Связаться с бывшими 
владельцами радиочастоты не удалось.
"Конечно, [мы] периодически думаем о возможности укрепить позиции, в частности в регионах, - рассуждал в 
2014 году в интервью "Коммерсанту" о стоимости радиовещательного бизнеса г-н Костин. - Но и там, и в 
Москве неадекватное представление о стоимости активов. Тебе пытаются их впарить за деньги, которых они 
не стоят и никогда не будут стоить, а стоили в 2007 году, когда в городах-миллионниках станция продавалась 
за $2 млн. Сейчас такие цены абсолютно неприемлемы".
"ГПМ Радио", как указано на его сайте, управляет десятью форматами. Шесть из них - "Авторадио", Energy, 
"Детское радио", "Юмор FM", "Эхо Москвы" и "Радио Зенит" - вещают и в Петербурге. Самым успешным в 
этом городе, по данным Mediascope за март-май 2017 года, является "Авторадио" с ежедневной аудиторией 
412,6 тыс. слушателей старше 12 лет. Наименьшая ежедневная аудитория - 117,9 тыс. - у "Детского радио".
В комментариях к посту ЦЭВТ Санкт-Петербурга и Ленобласти во "ВКонтакте" один из пользователей 
предположил, что на частоте 95,9 FM в Петербурге будет запущено "ТНТ Music Radio". В других комментариях 
эта информация была опровергнута. В реестре Роскомнадзора СМИ с названием "ТНТ Music Radio" не 
фигурирует.

На трех каналах "Украинского радио" ("Украинское радио" - первый канал Общественного радио), "Луч" - второй 
канал и "Культура" - третий канал) запустили службу внутреннего мониторинга качества эфира, которая 
отслеживает нарушения журналистских стандартов, в материалах ведущих, фиксирует видимые ситуации 
неподготовленности журналиста к эфира, речевые ошибки и некачественную подачу материала или неумение 
работать перед микрофоном. Об этом написал в Facebook генеральный продюсер "Украинского радио" 
Дмитрий Хоркин...
1 июня Дмитрий Хоркин стал генеральным продюсером "Украинского радио". Анатолий Табаченко стал 
советником нового генерального продюсера филиала Национальной общественной телерадиокомпании 
Украины "Центральная дирекция "Украинское радио"" Дмитрия Хоркина. До того в течение 18-ти лет Анатолий 
Табаченко работал исполнительным директором "Украинского радио"

Военное радио Министерства обороны "Армия FM" запустило собственный сайт, на котором можно слушать 
радиостанции в режиме онлайн. Об этом на странице в Facebook сообщила шеф-редактор радиостанции Ирина 
Сампан. "Теперь у нас есть лицо. "Армия FM" запускает свой сайт. Там сверху есть кніпочка "Слушать". И в 
разделах можно найти наши проекты и собственно нас самих", - написала она. Сайт радиостанции "Армия FM" 
(доступен по адресу http://www.armyfm.com.ua) - украиноязычный и имеет шесть разделов: "О нас", "Проекты", 
"Новости", "Галерея", "Военное ТВ", "Контакты". Также есть раздел "Слушать", что дает возможность слушать 
радиостанцию в режиме онлайн. Напомним, 1 марта, в 6 часов утра начала тестовое вещание радиостанция 
"Армия FM". В декабре 2015 года стало известно, что с 1 марта при поддержке американской общественной 
инициативы в Украине запустят радиостанцию для военных.

США
====
"Россия сегодня" вышла в американский FM-диапазон.
ВАШИНГТОН, 30 июн - РИА Новости. Информационное агентство и радио Sputnik (в составе МИА "Россия 
сегодня") объявило о начале вещания в FM-диапазоне в Вашингтоне (округ Колумбия, США). Круглосуточное 
вещание на английском языке доступно на волнах 105.5 FM. Программная сетка включает информационные 
новостные блоки и тематические программы - от политических ток-шоу до экспертной аналитики в области 
экономики и финансов.
Руководитель редакции Sputnik в США Миндия Гавашели: "Мы рады, что начинаем напрямую говорить 
с нашими слушателями в Вашингтоне. На протяжении последних месяцев радио Sputnik было объектом 
постоянных нападок в корпоративной прессе США. Причем зачастую люди, которые писали или говорили о нас, 
даже не трудились послушать наши программы. Теперь у вашингтонцев появится возможность слушать нас, 
а не то, что говорят о нас. И я уверен, что разница будет очевидна. Мы надеемся, что выход на вашингтонский 
рынок - это только первый шаг, и продолжим работать над тем, чтобы как можно больше людей могли 
услышать наши программы, а не слухи о них".
Среди радиопрограмм, популярных у слушателей в Вашингтоне, - политическое ток-шоу "Между двух огней: 
Никсон и Странахан" (Fault Lines with Nixon and Stranahan), в котором обсуждаются наиболее злободневные 
темы и острые политические вопросы; информационно-аналитические программы "Дивный новый мир" (Brave 
New World), "Откровенный разговор" (Level Talk), и другие.
Sputnik (sputniknews.com) - международное новостное агентство и радио с мультимедийными 
информационными хабами. Sputnik включает в себя сайты на 30+ языках, аналоговое и цифровое 
радиовещание, мобильные приложения и страницы в социальных сетях. Новостные ленты Sputnik 
круглосуточно выходят на английском, арабском, испанском и китайском.

The signal on 11845 kHz from Armenia between 1700 and 1900 UT was weak  
and mostly buried in the noise here in NB but occasionally and briefly  
in the first hour, voice and music were understandable. Reception  
started to improve around 1820 in the second half of the program and  
from then until the end of the program voice and music was mostly  
understandable although the signal was still weak. Luckily, no QRM  
until Radio Romania International started its IS for its upcoming  
Spanish broadcast on 11850 kHz during the last few minutes of the  
program, and negligible QRN. On the other hand, there was a great  
signal using the U. Twente WebSDR receiver, which I also recorded (--

** PRIDNESTROVYE. MOLDOVA [Pridnestrovie] Was ist auf MW 1429.7 kHz? 
 
Waehrend meinen Mitelwellenjagdstunden (per SDR Aufnahme) fand ich in 
meinem Aufnahmen am spaeten Abend (2100 UT) und fruehe Morgenstunden  
(bis etwa 0200 UT) in der Naehe von 1430 kHz ein Signal das ich nicht  
zuordnen konnte. 
 
Auf 1429.7 kHz (auch mal 1429.5 kHz) ein Signal dass sehr unstabil  
ist. Die Frequenz springt jede 5-10 Sekunden schlagartig etwa 20 Hz 
hoch/runter. Auch dazwischen schwankt die Frequenz merkbar. Am 17.  
Juni hoerte ich um 0100 UT am Rande der Verstaendlichkeit etwas was  
sich wie Russisch, Polnisch o.ae anhoerte, am 17. Juni um 2100 UT war 
wahrscheinlich Franzoesisch. Spaeter (0300 UT) war das Signal nicht  
mehr vorhanden. Deutet m.E. auf ein Signal aus Ost-Europa hin. 
 
Hat jemand eine Ahnung was das sein koennte? (Nebenausstrahlung von  
einem anderen Kanal?). (Aart Rouw, Germany, A-DX June 18 via BC-DX 25  
June via DXLD) 
 
Re: MW 1429.7 kHz? Das ist eine Nebenausstrahlung aus Grigoriopol von  
1413 kHz. Ist gespiegelt auch im Bereich um 1395 kHz zu beobachten. 
(Patrick Robic-AUT, A-DX June 18, ibid.) 
 
Die Fundamental 1413 aus Grigoriopol ist eigentlich eher stabil, wie

** RUSSIA [and non]. HOW VLADIMIR PUTIN WEAPONIZED THE INTERNET 
The Week Staff - REUTERS/Maxim Zmeyev [portrait caption] June 24, 2017 
http://theweek.com/articles/707537/how-vladimir-putin-weaponized-internet 
 
Vladimir Putin's regime is weaponizing the internet to sow chaos,  
confusion, and discord across the West. Here's everything you need to  
know: 
 
What is Russia doing? 
 
It's conducting a global disinformation campaign of unprecedented  
scope. Russia's interference in last year's U.S. election - when  
hackers stole and released emails from high-profile Democrats - wasn't  
an isolated incident. Kremlin-linked hackers have been active in  
French and German elections, promoting far-right parties. They are  
also believed to be behind the hack of Qatar's state news agency last  
month, when made-up quotes from the country's leader, expressing  
support for Israel and Iran, sparked a diplomatic crisis with Saudi  
Arabia.  
 
In addition to hacking, the Kremlin has also launched a relentless  
propaganda campaign, deploying armies of internet trolls to spread  
conspiracy theories and attack Russia's critics. Foreign policy  
analysts believe President Vladimir Putin, a former KGB operative,  
wants to destabilize and divide the West so it cannot threaten his  
autocratic rule or expansionist ambitions. Defense Secretary James  
Mattis told a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing last week that  
Putin is aggressively "trying to break any kind of multilateral  
alliance that is a stabilizing influence in the world" and disrupt  
"the international order." 
 
Is this a new strategy? 
 
Disinformation and propaganda have been around for decades: Moscow has  
in the past successfully spread rumors that the U.S. government  
ordered the killing of Martin Luther King and created the AIDS virus  
to kill gays and blacks. But new technology has made the process of  
spreading false information infinitely easier. Russia now has its own  
24-hour news organization, RT, broadcasting in more than 100  
countries; its sister outlet, Sputnik, churns out propaganda in more  
than 30 languages. (Sample headline: "Everyone I spoke with in Crimea  
wanted to secede from Ukraine.") These organizations, backed by  
hundreds of unofficial Moscow-sponsored blogs, twist or fabricate  
stories to fit their anti-Western agenda. Their global reach is  
impressive: Since its launch in 2007, RT's YouTube channel has had 1.8  
billion views - more than CNN's. 
 
What else is Russia doing? 
 
The Kremlin has recruited an estimated 1,000 full-time online trolls  
to boost its propaganda efforts. In tandem with thousands of "botnets"  
- networks of computers that have been hijacked without their owners'  
knowledge - these online provocateurs flood blogs, social media  
networks such as Facebook and Twitter, and the comment sections of  
news sites with Moscow's messaging. These "troll farms" fiercely  
defend Russia from its critics, often by accusing the West of  
hypocrisy; spread lies and innuendo about mainstream politicians; and  
bolster anti-establishment figures such as Donald Trump, Bernie  
Sanders, and French right-winger Marine Le Pen. "The Kremlin doesn't  
have a preference in terms of right or left," says Ben Nimmo of the  
Atlantic Council, a Washington-based think tank. "It has a preference  
in terms of useful or hostile." The Kremlin even uses Americans'  
online footprints to target those who might be particularly  
susceptible to propaganda. 
 
How does it do that? 
 
By harnessing the vast reams of user information collected by the  
likes of Twitter, Facebook, and Google. Much of this data - what an  
individual likes, or has a strong reaction to - is available  
commercially, allowing Russia to target people with opinion pieces or  
fake news stories that might appeal to them. U.S. soldiers, for  
example, are shown footage of Russian troops acting "heroically"  
against "terrorists" in Syria; anti-immigration or anti-capitalist  
bloggers, reporters, or Facebook activists are targeted with stories  
playing to their ideological leanings. The aim is to get "useful  
idiots" to spread false or misleading stories unwittingly. "They don't  
try to win the argument," says Michael McFaul, a former U.S.  
ambassador to Russia. "It's to make everything seem relative. It's  
kind of an appeal to cynicism." 
 
Is this proving effective? 
 
Very. Ahead of the U.S. election, Russian trolls successfully spread  
false claims that Hillary Clinton helped run a pedophile ring from the  
basement of a Washington pizza parlor; in France, they circulated  
rumors that candidate Emmanuel Macron was gay and secretly funded by  
Saudi Arabia. Nonpolitical disinformation is often designed to  
undermine NATO, such as recent fake reports that German soldiers  
stationed in Lithuania had raped a local teenager. Putin and his  
cronies argue that the CIA also has a history of spreading  
disinformation to undermine regimes in countries such as Cuba and  
Iran. "If we do propaganda," Sputnik boss Dmitry Kiselyov recently  
told Western journalists, "then you do propaganda, too." 
 
What's being done to counter the Russians? 
 
Estonia - the target of Russia's first major cyberattack, in 2007 -  
has a Russian-language TV channel dedicated to countering Moscow's  
aggressive disinformation efforts. In Washington, the government- 
funded Broadcasting Board of Governors recently launched a similar  
service, and the FBI is reportedly investigating whether the far-right  
news sites Breitbart and Infowars? have helped Russia spread  
disinformation. Big tech firms are starting to clamp down: Facebook,  
which recently closed 30,000 French accounts for spreading fake news,  
now allows users to flag false stories; Google has adjusted its  
algorithms to prioritize reputable news sources. But after Russia's  
successful interference in the U.S. election, no one doubts Moscow  
will continue its campaign to sabotage democracy. "They're coming  
after America," former FBI Director James Comey told senators earlier  
this month. "They will be back." 
 
Russia's next targets 
 
Hacked emails and fake news were probably only the opening volley in  
Russia's new cyberoffensive. Investigators have found that Kremlin- 
backed hackers gained access to voter databases and software systems  
in 39 states ahead of the 2016 election; in Illinois, they even tried  
to delete or alter voter data. Hackers also breached a major election- 
software supplier - a potential stepping-stone to gaining access to  
voting machines. In other worrying developments, Moscow recently tried  
to gain access to the Twitter accounts of 10,000 Defense Department  
employees, using individually tailored messages carrying malware. And  
Russian diplomats have been found driving around remote parts of the  
U.S. where fiber-optic cables are laid, suggesting they are mapping  
our country's critical infrastructure. "They've just got so many  
bodies [involved in spying in the U.S.]," a U.S. intelligence official  
told Politico. "It's not about what we know. It's about what we don't  
know." SHARE! (The Week, June 30 via Will Martin, DXLD)

Journal of Radio No. 12/1991. 
Article "Clubs of Soviet DXists", Author: M.Paramonov, Moscow, Part 2 
  
However, despite numerous difficulties, there were genuine enthusiasts  
of long-distance radio reception. 
 
The first to openly tell the truth about the plight of Soviet DXists  
"at an official level" was able to DX-editor of the Spanish edition of  
the Moscow Radio Francisco Rodríguez. In 1988 he together with DXiste  
Sergei Sosedkin prepared a series of radio programs on the history of  
DXing in the USSR. 
 
And in the late 70s a group of radio enthusiasts-DXistov wrote a  
letter to the Central Radio Club USSR named after E. Krenkel and the  
USSR Radio Federation with the request to officially recognize the  
existence of DXing in the USSR and allow Soviet DXists to enjoy the  
rights of radio amateurs-observers. The letter did not reach the  
addressee, but the DXists were summoned for the interview "where  
necessary". 
 
Among the signatories of this letter was DXist Vladimir Yakovlev. Now  
he is the president of the Soviet DX-archive. The Soviet DX archive is  
an informal association of DXists, which collects information on the  
development of the DX movement in the USSR and abroad. At the disposal  
of the Soviet DX-archive there are unique documents and phonograms. 
 
The Soviet DX archive is by no means the only informal association of  
Soviet long-distance admirers. At present, there are many similar  
organizations in the USSR. Let's briefly describe the most famous of  
them. 
 
"Radio Canada listeners' club" has existed since 1988. It unites radio  
amateurs-DXists who are interested in the work of the International  
Canadian Radio, as well as the culture and history of Canada. The club  
has close contacts with the Russian service of the Canadian Radio. The  
club is headed by the oldest DXist Albert Grabarenko. 
 
"Moscow DX-Association" was formed on July 22, 1990. It is an informal  
association of DXists in Moscow and the Moscow region. The president  
of the association is the author of this article. The initiative group  
also includes well-known DXists S. Sosedkin, A. Panteleev and others.  
 
The Association issues several DX-bulletins. The most famous is  
"MOSKOW PRESENTS". The bulletin enjoys well-deserved popularity not  
only among Soviet radio amateurs, but also foreign DXists. Reviews of  
the newsletter are regularly transmitted in DX-programs of Moscow  
Radio in Spanish and German. 
 
"The Leningrad DX-circle" unites several dozens of fans of long- 
distance reception. He publishes a fairly popular newsletter "Exotic  
DX News." Guided by the work of the circle amateur radio - "Ether"  
Mikhail Timofeev and Alexei Osipov. 
 
The "Free Radio" club was formed in 1991. It collects and distributes  
information about unregistered official stations or, as they are  
called, "hobby pirates". The monthly report on the work of the club is  
published on the pages of the bulletin "Exotic DX-news". (From

** UKRAINE. Under the sanctions imposed by Ukraine on Russian  
companies, the radio station Nashe Radio, which broadcasts songs of  
Russian rock artists, as well as the Orthodox radio Vera, follows from  
the published order of Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko. 
 
Sanctions were adopted for a period of three years. Among the  
restrictions - the termination of the provision of telecommunications  
services and the use of public telecommunications networks, follows  
from the document. 
 
Also under Ukrainian sanctions - state television and radio company  
VGTRK (including the department for the development of non-terrestrial  
TV channels), "National Media Group", "First Channel", Life portal,  
"Zvezda" TV channel, "Public Television of Russia". The media holding  
of RBC also fell under the sanctions (from https://vk.com/dxingradio

Incorporating REVIEW OF INTERNATIONAL BROADCASTING

------------------------------------------ 
** ESTONIA [and non]. Re DXLD 17-01, Former clandestine R. NADEZHDA -- 
Curious details: 
Tallinn, SOVETSKAYA ESTONIYA, 10Oct90, p 2 
[Interview with Ye. Kogan, by Vyacheslav Ivanov, SOVETSKAYA ESTONIYA  
special correspondent to the 4th Session of USSR Supreme Soviet:  
"...As We Forgive Our Debtors"] 
[Text] Parliamentary activities obviously do not come easily to  
Yevgeniy Kogan. Gray hair has already begun to appear in his thick  
beard, and he is still a long way from 40... Nevertheless, having  
barely recovered from a recent operation, he is once again in the  
Kremlin and once again is participating in the work of the session of  
the USSR Supreme Soviet, taking advantage of his deputy mandate that  
gives him the right, while not a Supreme Soviet member, to be present  
at its meetings and to make inquiries. It would seem that he is  
seriously attuned to occupying a permanent place on the parliamentary 
benches-because soon there will be a partial renewing of the makeup of  
the Supreme Soviet... 
 
During one of the breaks, our correspondent asked Ye. Kogan to answer  
a few questions. 
 
[V. Ivanov] Yevgeniy, the Intermovement radio station has begun  
broadcasting in the republic; we have also heard discussions about the  
fact that television broadcasts - the so-called "Kogan-TV" - will  
begin soon. At the same time everyone knows how difficult it is to  
obtain authorization to broadcast over the air. In order to get this  
authorization it is necessary to enlist the support of USSR  
Gostelradio and its reliable partner, Ministry of Communication, both  
of which are the only organizations that have the right to allocate  
frequencies for television and radio broadcasting. Could you please  
tell us how the idea arose that Intermovement should become the owner  
of its own radio and television transmitters and how that idea is  
being carried out? 
 
[Ye. Kogan] The idea was suggested to us by American journalists with  
whom we had a meeting immediately after the election of USSR people's  
deputies, when Estonian TV (to their shame) invited us to them. At  
that time the Americans asked, "Does Intermovement [ID] have its own  
television channel?" The only response we could give was to grin  
bitterly: the only persons working on existing television were  
representatives of the People's Front-Yarlik, Sheyn, Undusk... At that  
time we numbered considerably more. But we were not allowed in any way  
to get there, so that, in general, there could not be any mention of  
getting our own channel... But the dream of having that channel became  
imprinted on our minds. 
 
And now it has already moved into the area of being worked out in a  
concrete, practical way. Both yesterday and today I had meetings here  
that dealt with that question, so things are moving ahead. 
 
The first stage was radio broadcasting. There are those who might  
criticize us about its content, but we will be having our own  
transmitters very soon. For the time being, we are operating with  
those that have been given to us temporarily. At the present time,  
properly speaking, we do have our own transmitters-the formalization  
of the documents is coming to an end, and soon we shall begin  
operating with them. 
 
We have information that we can be heard even in Odessa Oblast and, of  
course, by our neighbors - in Pskov and Leningrad Oblasts. We have  
been registered as the radio station in the Northwest Region, so that  
we are being received on short waves not only in Estonia. But we have  
not set ourselves the goal of limiting ourselves to the republic  
territory. True, on mediumlength waves there are a few places where,  
because of the terrain, we cannot be heard. In Kokhtla-Yarve, for  
example, the mining waste piles hinder reception. But with the  
introduction of the UKV [ultrashort-wave] transmitter, we shall  
reliably "cover" all of Estonia, Leningrad and Pskov oblasts, and  
Latvia. 
 
We also want to implement television according to the same principle:  
Pskov and Leningrad should be able to receive our broadcasts. 
 
At the present time I cannot reveal details of a technical nature, in  
as much as the forces that are opposing us, obviously, will begin  
their own "work." The material aspect is also being decided, and I  
have moved far ahead in that question... 
 
[V. Ivanov] Yevgeniy, we cannot, however, avoid a discussion on that  
topic, because, sooner or later, people will begin asking us WHO is  
financing you. 
 
[Ye. Kogan] At present, no one. We do not receive any financing "from  
the outside." At one time we received considerable amounts of money -  
during the strikes, when we asked the workers of Leningrad and other  
regions for their support. So we do have current accounts in the  
banks, and, for the time being, we are holding onto them. We also  
received funds from the population and from enterprises. And although  
in Tallinn our current account has been closed, we have transferred  
the money to other places and are continuing to work. Of course, it 
will be necessary to "tighten our belts": we were offered an excellent  
transmitter for 40,000 rubles, but it proved to be too expensive for  
us-we had to buy one costing 12,000. 
 
There will also be large financial problems with the television  
transmitters. But leasing is always possible. 
 
[V. Ivanov] But when, realistically speaking, will your TV broadcasts  
begin? 
 
[Ye. Kogan] By the end of the year, I think. As for the content: in  
that tremendous stream of negative information that is currently  
crashing down on everyone, many people are beginning to get a  
permanently negative reaction in general to all the mass media. Many  
people have stopped reading newspapers, some have been turning off  
their TV sets... Therefore we intend to reduce to the minimum the  
policy of broadcasting "in pure form" on our television. We need  
entertaining programs, artistic movies... Of course, we are not able  
to wave a magic wand and begin broadcasting many hours a day all at  
once. At first it will be an hour or two a day. Perhaps at first it  
will not even be every day. As for later on, time will tell... 
 
[do all these [. . .] mean material omitted as they should, or merely  
some kind of pause??? as far too many writers misuse it; when obvious,  
I editorially replace the dots by dashes --- gh] 
 
[V. Ivanov] Do you mean, then, that the direction taken by your  
television will be to entertain and educate? 
 
[Ye. Kogan] Not just that. There will be an entertaining direction and  
an educational one, but there will also be politics-where can we go to  
get away from politics? 
 
Later on, I will be killed, as unilaterally happens today in our  
history. But I feel that it will be completely reasonable to oppose  
objective historical information to that stream. We need comparisons  
and analysis. 
 
But, I repeat, no one would have begun to engage in this job if it did  
not have political importance. 
 
[V. Ivanov] Yevgeniy, could you not give us the coordinates - the  
telephone numbers or the address of your radio station? We want to  
make a report on this for the newspaper. 
 
[Ye. Kogan] For the time being they probably do not have any  
particular desire to meet anyone, because - certainly you will  
understand this - in the face of the negative reaction that has  
currently arisen... A definite reaction to a specific person! But we  
have had instances when people were "chucked out" of their job. Out of  
all the co-chairmen of Intermovement, for example, I am the only one  
who has avoided dismissal, and that is because I am a people's deputy  
and cannot be dismissed... But the others have been dismissed.   
Everything was "simply" random, but all of them were dismissed.  
Perhaps there are also coincidences, but when they constitute 80  
percent, it is more than randomness. 
 
[V. Ivanov] You emphasized how difficult it was for you to get air  
time on Estonian television. But when you get your own television,  
will you offer the floor to your opponents? 
 
[Ye. Kogan] We have already discussed that question. We had a pleasant  
discussion, for example, before the television cameras with activists  
in the Estonian National Independence Party. In preparing our first 
declaration for "Hope" Radio, we said that we will offer the floor  
over the air to EVERYONE. Particularly to those who are not given any  
access to the official mass media (via Leo Barmaleo, Moldova, July 2,

** RUSSIA. LIFSHAK ON THE IMPACT ON THE POST OF RUSSIA 
 
Opened a personal war with the Post of Russia. This amazing  
organization, because of the monopoly of the delivery of goods with  
Aliexpress, does not worry about the quality of its services. My  
parcel was lost directly in the liaison office (Moscow), well, they  
did not find it on 40m2 of premises and that's it. The complaint was  
not answered, nor did they reply to the complaint about the lack of  
response to the first complaint. I have already accepted that they can  
not "get it". But, it turns out, there is a way! In the mobile  
application Mail of Russia (available for iOS and Android) - order the  
delivery of the lost parcel to the house ... and enjoy an ebullient  
activity in her search. In my case, on my mobile, the post office  
chief phoned and offered to pay my money for the lost parcel, if only  
I canceled the delivery to the house.

For more than three weeks I did not receive letters by regular mail,  
but here, as "broke" - came 3 + 2 every other day. Such a feeling that  
this "lump-loss" was found and they decided to deliver to the  
recipient. The date of admission to the sorting center is not checked

The editor-in-chief of the radio station Ekho Moskvy, Alexei

first broadcast is scheduled for Wednesday, June 28. This is reported  
by the Russian Service of the BBC. 
 
The program will last half an hour. The issues will be published on  
Wednesdays at 16:35 Moscow time. 
 
"It is important that the hosts will speak Ukrainian: Alexei Solomin,  
Alexei Naryshkin in Moscow, and Matvei Ganapolsky from Kiev via  
Skype," Venediktov said. 
 
According to the editor-in-chief of Ekho Moskvy, the listeners who  
have reached the studio will also have to speak in Ukrainian. Such a  
format, in his opinion, is needed to inform people what is really  
happening in Ukraine.

called" A scho there at the Khokhlov ". Venediktov noted that this

** RUSSIA [non]. RADIO SPUTNIK GOES LIVE IN FM IN WASHINGTON DC 
Hello, Glen[n], If you haven't yet heard about this, I thought you  
might find it of interest. It showed up on one of the news aggregate  
sites I peruse.

GOOD MORNING, AMERICA! RADIO SPUTNIK GOES LIVE IN FM IN WASHINGTON DC 
(c) Sputnik/ Konstantin Chalabov  Press Info 20:22 30.06.2017 
 
Seeking to bring the latest exclusive stories and exciting news and  
talk shows to the American audience, Sputnik Radio proudly announces  
that it has launched in Washington DC on the FM bandwidth [sic]. 
 
Margarita Simonyan, the editor-in-chief of RT and Rossiya Sevodnya 
(c) Sputnik/ [caption] Sputnik Editor-in-Chief Hopes for Normalization  
of Russia-West Relations in Coming Years 
 
Sputnik Radio begins broadcasting in Washington DC on the FM bandwidth  
[sic], bringing its programming to FM listeners across the  
metropolitan area for the very first time. 
 
Sputnik Radio broadcasts, ranging from news programs to talk shows and  
financial analysis, are now available on 105.5 FM, 24 hours a day, 7  
days a week. 
 
Mindia Gavasheli, editor-in-chief of the Sputnik Bureau in Washington  
DC, said that he's glad to finally make the Sputnik Radio broadcasts  
available to listeners in DC so that they can form their own opinion  
instead of relying on rumors and stories spread by certain media  
outlets. 
 
"We're glad to finally be able to directly address our listeners in  
Washington. During the last few months Sputnik Radio has become the  
target of constant attacks in the US corporate media. And often the  
people who wrote or spoke about us didn't even bother to listen to our  
broadcasts first. Now however, Washington residents will get the  
opportunity to listen to us and not just to what is being said about  
us, and I believe that the difference will become apparent to them. We  
hope that our entrance onto the Washington market is just the first  
step, and will strive to ensure that more and more people are able to  
hear our broadcasts instead of rumors about them," he said. 
 
The radio broadcasts now available to the DC audience include the  
popular Fault Lines with Nixon and Stranahan talk show that cover  
today's most interesting and pressing political issues; along with the  
Brave New World and Level Talk information and analytical programs,  
amongst a host of others. 
 
Sputnik (sputniknews.com) is an international news agency and radio  
station with multimedia information hubs all over the world. Sputnik  
hosts websites in over 30 languages, mobile apps and social media  
pages, along with analogue and digital radio broadcasting. The Sputnik  
newswire is released 24/7 in English, Arabic, Spanish and Chinese (via  
DXLD)

RUSSIAN-FUNDED NEWS STATION REPLACES BLUEGRASS ON 105.5 FM 
by Rachel Kurzius in News on Jun 30, 2017 3:00 pm

Those who've become accustomed to hearing bluegrass music when they  
turn the dial to 105.5 FM are in for a surprise - the bandwidth [sic]  
now broadcasts Sputnik, a "global wire, radio and digital news  
service" funded by the Russian government. 
 
"It's radio that brings you the views that you don't get from other  
stations," says Mindia Gavasheli, the editor in chief of Sputnik U.S. 
 
Indeed, Sputnik is surely the only media outlet in D.C. where a former  
Breitbart investigative reporter shares an office with a Green Party  
candidate for city council. Launched in 2014, it operates out of an  
office on K Street NW by Farragut North. 
 
Sputnik was back in the headlines itself this past month after its  
White House Correspondent Andrew Feinberg quit, writing on Twitter  
that the outlet "isn't happy with real journalists. They'd rather have  
ACTUAL propagandists operate anonymously."  
 
Sputnik fired back in a statement, saying it was "saddened by false  
accusations spread by Mr. Feinberg and hope that the fruits of his  
rich imagination would not create more conspiracy theories around  
Sputnik." 
 
The outlet has been part of the broader debate over Russian-funded  
media outlets, like television station Russia Today, which is  
available as part of a number of cable packages in addition to a  
presence on YouTube. A Director of National Intelligence report about  
Russian interference in the 2016 election accused both RT and Sputnik  
of being part of Russian propaganda efforts that "contributed to the  
influence campaign by serving as a platform for Kremlin messaging to  
Russian and international audiences." (Full disclosure: I worked at RT  
America in 2013 and have appeared as a guest on a radio show broadcast  
by Sputnik that no longer exists.) 
 
"If you've heard anything about Sputnik, it's that these are the  
nefarious people who hacked our election and imposed Donald Trump on  
us," says Gavasheli. "The only way to disprove it is to make them  
listen to it. I really felt like we need to go FM and make sure that  
people can tune in." 
 
The Bluegrass Country station that previously resided on 105.5  
announced in late May that it would no longer broadcast on that  
frequency. (The station had also recently been transferred from WAMU  
to a foundation that sprung up to save it.) 105.5 is what's known as a  
"translator" station, meaning it repeats the signal provided by  
another signal. 
 
"The third party provider told us that he had another client and he  
wanted to take over," says Chris Teskey, Bluegrass Country's program  
director. "He didn't say, 'I need more money from you guys.' That was  
never really an option." Bluegrass Country's deal had been a local  
marketing agreement, where they essentially paid a monthly rent to  
keep - a deal he says had been in place for the past eight years. 
 
"Initially we were fairly unhappy about losing [105.5]," Teskey says.  
"But the expense of running that was about a third of our budget and  
we're in much better financial shape now. Frankly, the signal at 105.5  
isn't that great - you lose it in Rockville." 
 
Listeners can now hear Bluegrass Country on 88.5 FM HD Channel 2,  
streaming online, or via their phone app. 
 
When told that Sputnik would be replacing bluegrass, Teskey responded,  
"Given the current political climate, I would say that's fascinating." 
 
Gavasheli says that Sputnik also has a local marketing agreement in  
place with the third-party provider, though he declined to get into  
the details of it. 
 
Both Gavasheli and Teskey declined to name the third-party provider.  
Communications attorney John Garziglia confirmed that he's the owner,  
as part-owner of Reston Translator LLC. He says that Radio Sputnik has  
already been carried on HD radio, and the transition will have 105.5  
rebroadcast 93.9 HD 3 for listeners. 
 
As for the potential politics of having Sputnik on the airwaves,  
Garziglia had no comment. "It's a business arrangement," he says. 
 
So what can people expect if they turn the dial to 105.5 FM? 
 
While Sputnik is currently in talks with potential hosts and producers  
about a D.C. morning drive show, programming right now in the mornings  
is largely international news coming from Moscow and Edinburgh, two  
other cities with Sputnik newsrooms. D.C. is Sputnik's only U.S.  
outpost for now, and employs about 40 people, Gavasheli says. 
 
At noon on weekdays, the three-hour progressive radio show "The Thom  
Hartmann Program" plays (Hartmann also has a daily television show on  
RT America), followed by "By Any Means Necessary," a show about social  
justice movements hosted by Eugene Puryear, a D.C. based activist. 
 
At 4 p.m., "Fault Lines" comes on, with Lee Stranahan, a former  
Breitbart reporter, and Garland Nixon, a progressive. Gavasheli  
describes it as a "Crossfire-style" show where "they yell at each  
other and argue about things." Then, at 5 p.m., Brian Becker of the  
ANSWER Coalition hosts a show called "Loud and Clear With Brian  
Becker," which covers international issues. 
 
"We don't do our shows on weekends, so Moscow produces most of the  
content on the weekends," Gavasheli says. "I suspect most of the stuff  
is pre-recorded." 
 
He says he's open to having Sputnik broadcast on other FM stations  
throughout the country, but "our resources are not limitless,  
regardless of what you hear from the senators in Congress," says  
Gavasheli. "We're considering other markets, but right now, we're more  
concentrated on producing more original shows." (via DXLD) 
 
Greetings: Listening to WOR 1885. I can pick up Sputnik Radio (with  
ID) on 105.5 FM from Northwest D.C., with enough static to remind me  
of Radio Moscow World Service of yore. 
 
Not a fan -- even though it was a news story about European-Japanese  
trade -- so won't tune in again, but thought you'd like a reception  
report and glad to have a reason to write after hearing you over the  
air and (now) online after all these years. Take care, (Scott Wells,  
DX LISTENING DIGEST) 
 
Tom Taylor's radio newsletter does mention who is renting this (and  
also does a pretty regular job of keeping up with translator issues  
and AM radio format changes and sales).  
 
Russia's "Sputnik Radio" just LMA'd a translator in Washington DC. 
 
Translator owner John Garziglia may want to add a little asbestos to  
his wardrobe - let's see how the D.C. pundits feel about having a  
translator at 105.5 air an English-language news/talk service with  
ties to the Russian government. Garziglia told this NOW Newsletter  
that he was unable to reach an agreement with the Bluegrass Country  
Foundation that took over the niche format from American University's  
not-for-profit WAMU/88.5 (May 24 NOW). ("Bluegrass Country" does air  
on the HD2 signal of news/talk WAMU, and of course online.)  
 
The foundation's lease of Reston translator W288BS at 105.5 ended June  
21, and now here's Sputnik Radio, a projection of the government's  
Sputnik News Agency. One other change is to the translator's feed  
station. The Sputnik folks are leasing an HD Radio signal from Urban  
One's urban WKYS/93.9. DCRTV.com says Sputnik was previously heard on  
an HD channel of Hubbard's news WTOP/103.5. (It's being replaced in  
that lineup by a simulcast of sister "Federal News Radio" WFED/1500.) 
Posted by: (Wally Leisering, July 6, dxldyg via DXLD) 
 
105.5 is usually covered here at home in Mount Airy by "Big Apple 
Country" in Winchester VA, but I can hear W228BS 105.5 about 5 miles 
south of here. For a long time this translator relayed "Bluegrass 
Country" from one of WAMU's HD channels. I had heard the rumor that R. 
Sputnik would be on the translator soon, but most people said 105.5 
would become one of the many relays of the Jesus pop "K-Love" stream. 
I'm pleased that K-Love is *not* taking over that station. 
 
I believe that W228AM is actually independently owned and the FCC 
registration lists it's now terminated relationship with WAMU for 
Bluegrass Country. Regards, Lw (Larry Will, DX LISTENING DIGEST)  
Later: 
 
Radio Sputnik noted in Rockville, central Montgomery County, Maryland,  
on W288BS 105.5 FM in Reston, Virginia, with a fair to good signal,  
bothered a bit by co-channel "True Apple Country" WXBN Berryville VA.  
Programming on Thursday, July 6 in the 1400 UT hour consisted of a  
segment about scams and frauds, presentation style and tone somewhat  
reminiscent of sensationalist/gossip television shows like "TMZ." The  
tragic story of the fake pop group Milli Vanilli was profiled. The  
Milli Vanilli segment also ran yesterday on 105.5 FM at around the  
same time. Next, the "Worlds Apart" feature discussing US/Russia  
relations. Multiple station IDs for "Video Sputnik" were heard. Is  
this stream simply the audio of RT or is it something else?  
 
The collective gasp in the media world about the presence of such  
audio propaganda on the airwaves in the Washington DC metro area  
elicits a big yawn from radio listeners here. For several years now,  
we've had sterile, vapid Chinese government propaganda from the  
blowtorch 50 kW daytimer WCRW 1190 AM.  
 
The Russians were also on the AM band here for a short while a couple  
of years ago, when they ran the extremely boring Voice of Russia on

THE HIGH-TECH WAR ON TIBETAN COMMUNICATION 
The Chinese digital security state versus a small exile community.

  Each year, March 10th in Tibet brings more police onto the streets, 
  closer online censorship of terms like "Free Tibet" and "Dalai Lama" 
  and a spate of cyberattacks. 
 
"Every March 10th, almost all major Tibetan organizations in  
Dharamsala are targeted with Distributed Denial of Service and other  
cyber attacks," said Tenzin Dalha, a researcher at the Tibet Policy 
Institute, part of the Central Tibetan Administration. Four years ago, 
that happened to the Voice of Tibet (VOT), a nonprofit media outlet  
run out of the Indian hill town of Dharamsala, bringing its website  
down for several days. 
 
The reason for the crackdown is that the date commemorates March 10th, 
1959. On that day, rumors spread in the Tibetan capital Lhasa about  
the impending arrest of Tibet's spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, by  
the Chinese, who had invaded the territory in 1950. Tibetans rallied  
to support their spiritual leader and the mass protests led to a  
violent crackdown. The Dalai Lama and his entourage escaped to India,  
where he and the Tibetan government-in-exile remain. 
 
When VOT started in 1996, it was one of the few channels of 
communication between Tibetans and their government-in-exile across  
the border, as all newspapers, television and other print materials  
were heavily censored. Using shortwave radio, it transmitted its news 
service across the border into Chinese-occupied Tibet, both in Tibetan 
and Mandarin Chinese. 
 
"Of course the Chinese Government tries to jam our program  
consistently, and we try to fight with them by broadcasting our  
programs on different frequencies, at different times." 
 
"We are a news organization, and we spend [our time] making stories," 
said Tenzin Peldon, editor at VOT. "Of course, the Chinese government 
tries to jam our program consistently, and we try to fight with them  
by broadcasting our programs on different frequencies, at different  
times, so if one program is jammed, other ones get through." 
 
China's control of information is key to its control over Tibet. 
Propaganda has been key in pushing its own version of history -- that 
the 1959 invasion was a "liberation" and that Chinese rule has been a 
boon to Tibet -- both at home to the global community. In the  
following decades, most of the country's Buddhist monasteries and  
temples were destroyed, while many Tibetans were put into forced labor  
camps or, in many cases, killed. 
 
Vast mining operations and dams run by Chinese companies are strewn 
across the plateau but have not benefited Tibetans. Lhasa, once a 
forbidden, holy city where foreigners could enter only in very limited 
instances, is now a Chinese-majority city that Tibetans from outlying 
regions have to get special permissions to enter. Yet as development 
spread across the plateau and China opened during the economic boom of 
the 1990s, Tibet appeared seemingly docile and increasingly integrated 
with the mainland. 
 
This image fell apart in early 2008. It was, again, March 10th. This 
time, just a few months before China was to welcome the world to the 
Summer Olympic Games in Beijing, decades of discontent erupted into 
protests in Lhasa, which quickly spread across the occupied country. 
Tibetan exiles helped to spread images of monks protesting spread 
online, which, together with a powerful human-rights documentary, 
triggered protests across the world, and calls for countries to  
boycott the Olympics. 
 
It was a huge embarrassment for the Chinese government. Martial law  
was quickly declared, and the years since have seen an even greater 
clampdown on free expression through the pervasive monitoring of 
Tibetans, both those inside Tibet and out. 
 
What was once a low-tech information battle over radio waves has now 
being reshaped by the internet and smartphone access that have spread 
into Tibet. Yet while China operates the world's most powerful 
digital-security apparatus, there are only around 6 million-7 million 
Tibetans in Tibet, and about 150,000 exiles scattered around the  
world. 
 
For the small Tibetan community with limited resources, to face off 
with Beijing is a David and Goliath situation.

________________________________ 
 
The attack on Voice of Tibet four years ago was a common distributed 
denial of service (DDoS) attack, but others have been far more 
sophisticated. 
 
The scale of China's operation was not clear until a report released  
by the University of Toronto's Citizen Lab in 2009, titled "Tracking 
Ghostnet." This clearly showed, for the first time, the extent of  
cyber espionage and how deeply it had infiltrated the Tibetan  
movement, including the office of the Dalai Lama. For Lobsang Gyatso,  
this was a major wakeup call. 
 
"The report was a huge eye-opener ... until then, we didn't have proof 
or an understanding," said Lobsang, the digital-security-programs 
manager with the Tibet Action Institute. "This made it very concrete 
and showed it was state-sponsored ... it was pretty clear to us who  
was behind it." 
 
"Every single organization affiliated with the CTA or with the Tibetan  
freedom movement in India has been targeted with severe cyber  
attacks." 
 
Citizen Lab uncovered 1,295 infected hosts in 103 countries across the 
entire Tibetan spectrum. Signs all pointed to China as the culprit. 
 
"Every single organization affiliated with the CTA or with the Tibetan 
freedom movement in India has been targeted with severe cyber  
attacks," said Dalha. "The website of CTA, [in particular] the Chinese  
website, has been hacked several times." 
 
The most common method of spreading malware was simple -- email 
attachments. Citizen Lab documented the use of suspicious emails with 
links to complex malware in a 2013 follow up report on what they  
called APT1's Glasses, which it sourced directly to the People's  
Liberation Army in China. Tibetans switched strategies, from sending  
attachments to using more-secure services such as Google Drive and  
Dropbox to share files. 
 
"Most NGOs by then had developed this practice of sharing everything 
with Google Drive," said Tenzin Jidgal with the International Tibet 
Network. Not too long thereafter, some organizations noticed some of 
the emails they were getting with Google Drive attachments were being 
sent from malicious servers including links that led to malware. 
 
This time, however, they were prepared. They shared data with 
outsiders, such as Citizen Lab, to better understand the problem. It 
was no accident, but a meaningful, organized response to a genuine 
threat.

Leading the fight to protect NGOs from digital threats is the Tibet 
Action Institute (TAI) founded in 2009. 
 
"We fill a supporting role for others doing advocacy," said Lobsang. 
"How to make their work more effective, so that there are not  
attacked, and they are protected." 
 
TAI does not focus on getting users to select the best or safest  
tools. Instead, it wants people to understand the Chinese threat and  
make small changes. It models its campaigns after those in the public- 
health sector, and works both with the exile community and Tibetans in  
Tibet, making sure they understand how to send information outside the  
country safely. 
 
"Tibetans in Tibet tend to have this idea: 'If the information gets 
out, I don't care what happens to me.' It's very courageous," said 
Lobsang. "But we want to help them get over that mentality, making  
them understand that [their well-being] is very important to the  
movement." 
 
That often means teaching simple tasks -- helping them understand how 
mobile networks and SIM cards work -- so that they can use low-risk 
communication methods. 
 
This behavior change is key to TAI's mission, as a system is only as 
secure as its weakest link. If regular Tibetans are not secure, then 
potentially no one is. 
 
"It's more about behavior and understanding security, and making 
sure you understand once you install an app, what those permissions 
mean, so you're better informed before doing anything." 
 
"Our focus has been on what tools people are using already, and then 
what practices that can actually support that to be more secure," said 
Lobsang. "It's more about behavior and understanding security, and 
making sure you understand once you install an app, what those 
permissions mean, so you're better informed before doing anything." 
 
Also key to the effort are partnerships with institutes such as  
Citizen Lab or other NGOs facing similar threats from Chinese state  
actors. 
 
Since that 2009 report, Citizen Lab has been releasing regular updates 
on the latest tactics being used by hackers to try to access Tibetans' 
and Tibet organizations' data, which directly inform TAI's training 
tactics. 
 
It is a nonstop game of cat-and-mouse. As the Tibet movement's 
digital-security abilities and training improve, the Chinese  
government implements more-sophisticated hacking techniques. Members  
of the Tibet movement credit the integration of digital-security  
thinking for allowing it to keep pace with threats. According to  
Bhuchung K. Tsering, Vice President at the International Tibet  
Network, the everyday use of digital tools requires people and  
organizations to make security second nature. 
 
"The best thing that we can do is be mindful of what we do all the 
time," said Tsering. "If we are mindful, then we will be more prepared 
to take those steps that might prevent the ... Chinese, or anyone  
else, from getting into our system."

__________________________ 
 
No one really knows what Chinese hackers will attempt next -- it was 
only a few years ago that China even admitted to having a cyber army. 
But one thing that worries many is that the most ubiquitous app used  
in China is also commonly used among the exile community -- WeChat. 
 
At core an instant messenger, WeChat was initially popular with many 
Tibetans as it allowed, for the first time, regular communication 
between those still in Tibet and those in exile. 
 
"In Dharamsala, a lot of Tibetans use WeChat to just talk to their 
friends in groups," said an expert at Free Tibet, a UK-based NGO who 
preferred to remain anonymous. "By using WeChat outside of China, 
Tibetans are willingly giving up their security and privacy." 
 
WeChat has serious security issues, and many believe it is readily 
sharing data with the Chinese government. Citizen Lab found line by 
line censorship of content when analyzing information flows between 
India and Tibet earlier this year around the Kalachakra teaching,  
which China deemed "illegal," held by the Dalai Lama in Bodh Gaya,  
India. 
 
In China, several Tibetans have been arrested for sharing content 
deemed politically sensitive on WeChat. While more and more members of 
the community understand that discussing political topics or sharing 
images of, for example, the Dalai Lama, can put people at risk of  
being arrested, Lobsang is worried about something else entirely. 
 
"Information is key. They want to know how the exile community 
thinks, and from a political perspective, that's a huge plus for  
them." 
 
"Instead of them coming to hack us, we are going to a platform that is 
run by [China] in some ways, and sharing all of that information 
there," said Lobsang. "Information is key. They want to know how the 
exile community thinks, and from a political perspective, that's a  
huge plus for them." 
 
Moving Tibetans to a more-secure chat app, such as Signal or Telegram, 
is a nonstarter due to the challenge of getting enough people to  
switch simultaneously. So TAI focuses instead on ensuring users  
understand what types of information WeChat can access, and, if  
possible, use the app on a separate dedicated phone when communicating  
with those inside Tibet. But getting users to understand how China  
could use even the simple, daily, nonpolitical communication to their  
benefit is a major challenge. 
 
"There's a line that needs to be drawn, but it's hard to get people to 
understand how the concept of big data actually works," said Lobsang.

__________________________________
 
Tibetans are, of course, not the only targets of Chinese government 
hackers. While their unique situation puts them in line for scrutiny, 
more recent targets have included the Umbrella Movement in Hong Kong 
and US corporations. China's digital state could even, soon, include 
Facebook, which has been making overtures to enter the country and is 
creating censorship software that could make it more amenable to 
Chinese authorities. 
 
While, at first, for small exile community to face off against a 
massive digital-security apparatus may seem insurmountable, size 
actually plays to Tibetans' advantage. The exile community is closely 
knit, and the near-constant threat of hacking since the 2008 uprising 
has helped create a culture of security throughout the movement. 
 
"We have become more aware, more informed, and more literate ... about 
digital security and online security," said Jigdal. "We may be  
smaller, but if we were able to develop this practice on a day-to-day  
basis, it spreads faster, and therefore it's more doable." 
 
For VOT, this meant hiring an IT consultant after the initial DDoS 
attack, conducting in-house training, and working with TAI to improve 
its own security culture. While its shortwave broadcasts still face 
jamming, its website has remained online, and information is, against 
all odds, getting through. 
 
"No matter how much the Chinese repress Tibetans, they can't stop 
the flow of information." 
 
"No matter how much the Chinese repress Tibetans, they can't stop [the 
flow] of information," said Peldon. "So even though the Chinese 
government constantly jam our programs and send attacks to our  
website, I'm surprised how Tibetans inside Tibet find different ways  
to bypass the censorship wall and hear us." 
 
Tibetans in exile are more prepared digitally than ever before. 
 
"Tibet Action Institute's awareness-raising work with Tibetans played  
a big role in making sure that it wasn't worth China's while to  
continue to spread malware the 'old way,'" said an expert at Free  
Tibet, who preferred to remain anonymous. 
 
But the big picture still looks dire. Today, the situation in Tibet is 
deteriorating even more, with Freedom House ranking it the least-free 
country in the world. Tibetans are facing increased travel 
restrictions, fewer cultural rights and more arrests for even simple 
online transgressions. 
 
"A risk from a ... different angle is Chinese online propaganda 
campaigns that attempt to normalize the current situation in Tibet or 
drown out social media posts about Tibet that criticize the occupation 
or attempt to publicize human-rights abuses," said John Jones, 
campaigns and communications manager at Free Tibet. 
 
The 60th anniversary of the 1959 Tibetan Uprising is approaching.  
China is expected to ramp up measures, online and offline, and do all  
it can to ensure that no protests, either like the ones in 1959 or  
2008, or the recent spate of self-immolations, take place in Tibet --  
and if they do happen, that the rest of the world won't hear about it.  
After years of digital fortification, this may be the greatest test of  
the exile community's ability to go toe-to-toe with a Goliath in 
cybersecurity (via Mike Cooper, DXLD)

== (Doug Smith W9WI, Pleasant View, TN EM66, July 1, WTFDA gg via  
DXLD) 
 
A few more thoughts on this: 
> AF: Application For (new station) 
> NS: permit granted for New Station 
> NW: NeW station on the air 
  
A station comes up as "NW" if it's applied for a License to Cover. In 
most cases it may legally begin broadcasting before this license is 
issued -- the construction permit ("NS") usually grants automatic 
Program Test Authority. 
  
> CX: License or permit cancelled 
> ROA: Request Of Applicant (/licensee) 
  
A license/permit may be cancelled by the FCC -- usually because the 
station has been off the air for over a year. It may also be cancelled 
at the request of the licensee/applicant. Usually this happens either 
because the licensee has acquired another station that puts them over 
the multiple-ownership limit & they can't sell the less-desirable 
station; or because they've decided not to build an authorized 
facilities change (usually because they've decided to build a 
*different* facilities change). 
  
So far I've only seen "red light" dismissals for AM stations but  
there's no reason it can't happen for FM or TV. If a station hasn't  
paid its regulatory fees, any applications get a "red light" hold. If  
such application is for renewal, the license may expire and be  
cancelled. I flag these as "red light" dismissals because in some  
cases, they're the result of a bureaucratic snafu and are not final. 
  
> CL: Principal Community ("City of License") 
  
For full-power stations, the station must provide a strong ("city 
grade") signal across this community. There have been public-service 
obligations involved as well, but most of these have been repealed. 
  
For LPTV, LPFM, and translator stations this is essentially a  
placeholder. 
  
> been completed) 
> PG: Power (and/or tower height) change Granted 
> PR: Power (and/or tower height) change Request 
  
This indicates technical changes will be or have been made which  
affect the coverage of the station. Such changes may also be rolled  
into a QR/QG/QC, see below. I try to follow the PR/PG/PC with a >  
(which indicates the changes should increase coverage) or a < (which 
indicates they'll reduce coverage). Often I can't quickly tell; 
sometimes the difference is negligible. 
  
Site changes may also be rolled into a PR/PG/PC. 
  
> QC: freQuency Changed (construction on a QG has been completed) 
> QG: freQuency change Granted 
> QR: freQuency change Request 
  
Often, a frequency/channel change is accompanied by a change in 
power/tower height/location. Since the frequency change is most 
noticeable, if more than one of these changes is happening, I list it  
as a frequency change. 
  
> XC: tower site Changed 
> XG: tower site change Granted 
> XR: tower site change Requested 
  
Usually site changes are rolled into a PR/PG/PC. If you see a bare  
site change, usually it's just a minor correction; the wrong  
coordinates were on the license and the licensee wished to correct  
them. 
  
> (aux): Auxiliary (backup) transmitter 
  
A full-power station may obtain licenses for one or more backup 
transmitters with different facilities (backup transmitters feeding 
the *same* antenna and operating at the *same* power don't require 
separate licenses) == (Doug Smith W9WI, Pleasant View, TN EM66, ibid.)

For this issue Anker Petersen has brought his annual "Trends in  
tropical bands broadcasting". This time for 2017. As usual very  
interesting reading. The reduction of stations on those bands are  
incredible. 1973 shows 1106 stations and now in 2017 only 114 left! 
Within a few years ahead those bands are more or less dead. For the  
station hunters (like me) there is only one solution - listen to 
MW instead. Others enjoy FM which is hot just now (Thomas Nilsson,  
ed., SW Bulletin July 2 via DXLD) 
 
TRENDS IN TROPICAL BANDS BROADCASTING 2017 
by Anker Petersen, editor of the Domestic Broadcasting Survey 
 
Dear friends, I have just edited my annual "Trends in Tropical Bands  
Broadcasting 2017", which is attached. The DSWCI used to publish this  
annually in "Short Wave News", but this no longer exists. So I hope  
you will publish it. 
 
Since DSWCI published its first Tropical Bands Survey in 1973, I have  
registered which stations are active, based upon loggings from our  
members and other DX-ers around the world. Here is an updated status  
where Clandestine and Pirate stations not are included. 
 
Active domestic transmitters on 2200 - 5800 kHz 
 
Region                     1973 1985 1997 2009 2017 
...
CIS (former USSR)            61   59   47    7    6 
...
Total                      1106  819  627  247  114 
 
During the past year the previous trend, that Tropical shortwave  
stations slowly disappear, continued throughout the world. The reason 
is, that other media get higher priority, than keeping elderly  
shortwave transmitters alive. This year we had a big loss of 24  
frequencies compared to last year's total of 138, particularly because  
the Australian Northern Territories and several South American  
stations ceased broadcasting. 
... 
Anker, thanks a lot for this survey, very interesting but with a  
tremendous negative trend for us DX-ers! /tn (Thomas Nilsson, ibid.

"Радио 1" - год в эфире!
Сегодня, 1 июля, первое подмосковное "Радио 1" отмечает год с начала вещания.
1 июля 2016 года первая радиостанция Московской области "Наше Подмосковье" вышла на рынок СМИ под 
новым названием "Радио 1" и в новом формате. Радиостанция стала информационным голосом московского 
региона - в эфире звучат самые актуальные новости, обсуждаются насущные проблемы Подмосковья, на 
вопросы журналистов и жителей области отвечают эксперты и представители власти.
За год вещания "Радио 1" несколько раз попадало в списки самых цитируемых СМИ, а две программы 
станции вошли в шорт-лист всероссийской премии "Радиомания".
"Радио 1" вещает в Москве и области на частоте 68,84 УКВ, на FM-частотах в городах Волоколамск 106,8,

История Белгородского радио.
-------------------------------------------
На очереди частота, вероятно, с одной из самых печальных судеб - 103.2 
Летом 2000 года выходцы с "Вавилона" с С. Карпенко во главе "распечатали" частоту 103.2 первой попыткой 
открыть танцевальную станцию в Белгороде - начался тест "Станции 2000", а затем в августе перешли на 
"Динамит Fm".  
В ноябре 2001 закончился тест и частота временно замолчала.  
В августе 2002 началось вещание "Русского радио - 2". Станция позиционировалась как общенациональная 
информационная станция с музыкальным форматом, который включает в себя золотой фонд советской и 
российской популярной музыки. Музыкальный формат состоял из "блатных" песен и музыки советского 
периода и строился по 3 музыкальным категориям: эстрада 50-70-х годов - М. Бернес, М. Магомаев, А.Герман, 
Земляне, Цветы, Пламя, бардовская песня - Б. Окуджава, В. Высоцкий, О. Митяев, А. Галич, классика шансона 
- М. Звездинский, М. Шуфутинский, А.Северный, А.Розенбаум. Постепенно советские хиты стали вытеснять 
"блатные" песни, и к моменту появления радиостанции в Белгороде у "Русского радио-2" появился слоган 
"Наша родина СССР" и более легкое ретро-звучание.  
В ноябре 2005 "Русское радио - 2" на 103.2 мГц преобразовали в проект под названием "РСН", девиз которого в 
Белгороде "Слушай город - все включено". В эфире "РСН" множество информационных, познавательных и 
развлекательных программ: горячие выпуски новостей и обзоры прессы, новости спорта, специальные 
проекты, подготовленные для белгородцев: Русская Служба Находок, Шоу Шепелявых, Наша Родина - СССР.  
В Белгороде "РСН" из информационного был превращен в чисто музыкальный с редкими вкраплениями 
информационных передач, вроде программы Виктора Травина. Местное вещание на "РСН" было своеобразным 
реваншем за неполучившееся "Любимое радио" и программа по заявкам, которая выходила каждый день 
несколько раз постоянно была полна музыкальными приветами.  
12 апреля 2007 на 103.2 "РСН" вполне логично сменили на "Хит Fm".  
Позывные "Хит FM" жители Белгорода вновь услышали ровно в 12 часов. На "новой старой" станции осталась 
прежняя команда в лице Александра Данилова, Ирины Власовой, Вадима Градова, Оксаны Любимовой и 
Дмитрия Полякова. В момент смены на частоте по кругу играла песня группы "Руки вверх" "Ну где же вы 
девчонки".  
20 июля 2011 года появляется первое сообщение о проблемах у местного вещателя "Хит Fm". Радиостанция 
начала ограниченное вещание. Точной информации не сообщается, но появляются слухи о споре 
совладельцев частоты 103.2. Официально объявляют о том, что вещатель радиопрограммы "Хит Fm" в 
Белгороде должен оператору связи, транслирующему данную программу, крупную сумму денег. В связи с этим 
оператор связи ограничил вещателю эфирное время с 22 до 7 часов.  
2012 год начался с печальных событий - 30 января работа "Хит Fm" 103.2 из-за конфликта владельцев была 
прекращена. Проблемы начались давно, еще в прошлом году появляется первое сообщение о проблемах у 
местного вещателя "Хит Fm", радиостанция ведет ограниченное вещание. А теперь ситуация пришла к полному 
отключению. Несколько недель судьба частоты 103.2 была полностью неизвестной.  
На основании появившихся впоследствии документов Высшего Арбитражного Суда, выяснилось что конфликт 
возник в результате того, что связная и вещательная лицензии "Хит Fm" были оформлены на разные компании, 
которые не смогли договориться друг с другом.  
Теоретически данную частоту можно выставлять на конкурс, но 103.2 с тех пор отключена и в эфире мы можем 
услышать только шипение.

РАДИОПРИЕМ
Давайте на минутку представим, что на улице самый разгар строительства "развитого социализма" - 70-е годы 
прошлого века; отовсюду звучат призывы к укреплению мира, а весь народ в едином порыве все ближе и 
ближе приближает своим трудом заветный коммунизм.
Теперь вообразите, что именно вы живете именно в это самое время, имеете приемник и слушаете зарубежные 
радиостанции, с самых высоких официальных трибун объявленные "вражескими голосами". И даже пишете 
время от времени на эти радиостанции осторожные письма, где просите подтвердить сам факт вашего приема 
радиопередачи.
Все это представить довольно легко. А вот информацию о реакции соответствующих органов, которая в полной 
мере обрушивалась на голову этого сам ого любителя "вражеских голосов", можно почерпнуть из некоторых 
фильмов или книг о тех годах. Добавьте еще ко всему этому, что любой из соседей мог сообщить о вашем 
подозрительном увлечении "куда надо"...
Вот вам и полная картина о ситуации с DХ-ингом во времена "застоя": именно об этом пойдет сегодня речь
В те самые годы отношение властей к радиолюбителям-коротноволновикам было достаточно лояльным: ну, 
чудят люди, общаются между собой, хотя и проживают в самых разных странах, посредством радио. Так все 
это поставлено под контроль государства посредством заполнения анкет и прочих документов, выдачи 
разрешения на радиостанцию, официального членства в радиоклубах и т.п. мерах.
Гораздо сложнее обстояло дело с любителями дальнего радиовещательного приема. Тут достаточно человеку 
приобрести приемник, натянуть антенну и все... Можно слушать кого
угодно и когда угодно: причем те, кому положено знать обо всем, об этом факте могут и не догадываться.
В бывшем СССР бывшие республики Прибалтики всегда на порядок отличались от остального советского 
народа. Не зря мы туда стремились во время отпусков, чтобы хоть чуть-чуть соприкоснуться со свободой и с 
западным образом жизни. Вот именно там и был организован 1 июня 1974 года "Союз прибалтийских DX-истов", 
или попросту - DX-клуб 'Балтика". Задачей клуба являлось объединение DX-истов, проживающих в 
республиках Прибалтики, а также в Ленинградской и Калининградской областях. Кроме того, 
ассоциированными членами клуба могли быть зарубежные DX-исты из прибалтийских государств. Первым 
секретарем клуба стал Улинда Римас из Литвы.
Интересно, что клуб издавал и печатный бюллетень, который носил название "ДХ-Эхо", выходил он до октября 
1975года. Затем началась полоса проблем, которая привела к тому, что клуб несколько раз стоял на грани 
распада. И только с приходом к руководству Г. Григорьева и В. Ершова появилась надежда на полноценную 
деятельность. Тем более что клуб стал принимать в свои ряды всех желающих.
Как вы понимаете, все общение членов клуба тогда велось исключительно с помощью обычных писем. Именно 
так поступала информация и в бюллетень "ДХ-Эхо", который вначале был рукописным, а впоследствии 
печатался на пишущей машинке и рассылался своим читателям опять-таки обычной
почтой. Кстати, следует отметить, что почта тогда у всех DХ-истов досматривалась, несмотря на то, что 
рапорты в основном писались только на радиостанции, которые считались относительно лояльными 
Советскому Союзу.
Еще один бюллетень, издававшийся в то время; назывался "НДХ", что означало - Новости ДХ". Автору этих 
строк удалось недавно пообщаться с бессменным редактором бюллетеня "НДХ", ныне преподавателем 
университета из Тулы Владимиром Жариковым. Это было еженедельное издание, основанное 7 апреля
1973 года, которое по своему размеру было ограничено только объемом поступившей информации. Здесь 
были и расписания радиостанций, и текущие изменения в эфире, и аннотации новых справочных изданий (как 
травило, для коротковолновиков), и наблюдения, и много других самых различных сообщений...
Единственное, что сразу бросается в глаза: нигде не указаны авторы информации - в крайнем случае, только 
инициалы. Не лишняя предосторожность в то время!

ЛДПР будет требовать вернуть Радио Life название "Русская служба новостей"  
На сегодняшний день на частоте "Life Звук" вещает радиоверсия телеканала "Life"  
Лидер партии ЛДПР Владимир Жириновский намерен обратиться в Министерство связи и массовых 
коммуникаций РФ с требованием вернуть радио Life название "Русская служба новостей". Об этом он 
сообщил журналистам.  
"Была у нас радиостанция "Русская служба новостей", а теперь Life news, с какой стати? Хорошее название 
было, а теперь на чужом языке. Мы будем требовать от министра связи вернуть старое название",  
- заявил он.  
В декабре 2016 г. радиостанция "Русская служба новостей" была заменена на радиостанцию "Life Звук". С 
января 2017 г. данная радиостанция была закрыта, на сегодняшний день на этой частоте вещает радиоверсия 
телеканала "Life".
