From 1 January 2019, the Post of Russia has changed the tariffs for the delivery of international letters. If at the end of last year for sending a simple message weighing up to 20 grams (air, for example, to South Korea) it was necessary to pay 45 rubles, then now you have to fork out 50 rubles. The cost of delivering international letters by land has also increased: 45 rubles instead of the previous 40 rubles. Over the past 7 years, Russian Post has doubled the tariff for delivering letters abroad (25 rubles in 2012, 50 rubles in 2019). At the same time, the rates for delivery of letters inside the country have not changed since January 1 of this year. Sending a letter weighing up to 20 grams, as before, will cost 22 rubles. In the Moscow Central Post Office about the changes in tariffs for sending letters abroad, apparently, few people know. Today, it took me 15 minutes for the employees of the central post office on Myasnitskaya Street to clarify among themselves how many stamps need to be stuck on an envelope in Pyongyang. There are no announcements about the change of tariffs for the delivery of correspondence in the department. I had to turn to the Russian Post website for help. They do not know the abbreviations P.O.B. (Post Office Box / Mailbox). Today I was written by Maria Li, who said that letters from Taiwan sent to my address are being returned to the editor. The fact is, I explained to her that the Russian postal officers do not understand the abbreviations P.O.B., therefore they do not find the recipient, and send the message back. The representative of the "Post of Russia" in social networks recommended in this case to write on the envelope completely Post Office Box. Hope our email knows what that means.

We test the antenna with a minimum transmitter power to study the signal propagation pattern and its azimuth of directivity in practice. The results clearly show in which direction the radiation goes, and in which direction the electro-magnetic waves are concentrated. It is quite obvious that in the future there will be another frequency and transmitter power. In addition, there is a possibility of installing the antenna in another place, near the border of the Russian Federation. We are continuously working on the organization of regular broadcasting in the direction of the European part, where the Russian-speaking population is concentrated. Unfortunately, we are forced to leave Moscow soon due to toughening of laws in the sphere of dissemination of religious information.

The Russian Television Transition from Analog to Digital Begins The Russian Federation began to shut down their analog television transmitters on December 3, 2018. The first to go was the Tyer [Tver?] Region (RTRS) at 9:15am that day when over 100 transmitters were shut down leaving four analog channels remaining. All Federal broadcasting will be digital on January 1, 2019. WTFDA member Chris Kadlec explains in a post on Facebook: Just like here, many channels will continue to air an analog signals in the outlying republics. State and commercial channels are free to continue broadcasting in analog at their own expense anywhere in the country, while all analog channels will continue to display the letter "A" on the screen. The converter boxes are currently priced at $USD9 to 11 in Russia and must support DVB-T2 standard and MPEG4 video compression. Everyone will be able to receive two main sets of channels (????????????) [mul`tipleksy], the first being the required state channels (10 total) with Russia 1, Russia 24, Russia Culture, NTV, TV Center, and Match (a sports channel) and the second having the entertainment, etc. channels of "Star" (Armed Forces of the Russian Federation), Savior (Russian Orthodox Church, Moscow Patriarchate), Mir (an international state-run television company broadcasting in Russia, Belarus, and Kazakhstan), CTC, Muz TV, etc. The first package has some other channels too, and also will carry Radio Russia, Mayak and Vesti FM. All in all, the two packages carry more than 2 dozen free channels. (And you can see the official details at the http://rtrs.ru site). Ukraine made the switch on Sept. 1st but they weren't ready for it because they hadn't given enough time for planning. A court blocked the shutdown of some analog stations because of it, but they turned them off anyway, so you could say that hasn't gone as smoothly as Russia's surely will (WTFDA VHF-UHF Digest January 2019 via DXLD) DTV ** RUSSIA [non].

Included in this is an application for various Icom transceivers, and one for Elecraft radios with the general coverage option. This includes, of course, the new Alexa skill that was mentioned some time ago as well as a few SDR applications. If you're interested in these apps, check out the Schedules section of https://wiki.radioreference.com/index.php/SWL_Broadcast I must admit that it's curious that these apps are concentrating on the EiBi database, and not considering all the others.

You can view the card here - Quote from the letter: "About hearing, thanks for the message. We test the antenna with a minimum transmitter power to study the signal propagation pattern and its azimuth of directivity in practice. The results clearly show in which direction the radiation goes, and in which direction the electro-magnetic waves are concentrated. It is quite obvious that in the future there will be another frequency and transmitter power. In addition, there is a possibility of installing the antenna in another place, near the border of the Russian Federation. We are continuously working on the organization of regular broadcasting in the direction of the European part, where the Russian-speaking population is concentrated. Unfortunately, we are forced to leave Moscow soon due to toughening of laws in the sphere of dissemination of religious information. There is also the option of working on a commercial project in Russia" Andrey Nekrasov.

Vermutlich gibt es noch aus dem Kalten Krieg nur noch einen aktiven ELF- Sender, der extrem niedrige Frequenz nutzt, naemlich ZEVS der russischen Marine auf der Kola-Halbinsel bei Murmansk, der mit 82 Hertz arbeitet und elektromagnetische Signale mit einer Wellenlaenge von 3700 km sendet. Damit laesst sich mit U-Booten bis zu einer Tiefe von 50 Metern kommunizieren, wenn auch mit einer sehr geringen Bandbreite und nur einseitig vom ELF-Sender zum U-Boot. Gesendet wird mit einem Bodendipol als Antenne, der aus zwei parallelen Antennen mit jeweils einer Laenge von 60 km besteht. Only Russia and India still have such transmitters for submarine communication, the US Navy is said to have closed its transmitter Sanguine 2004. Presumably, there is only one active ELF transmitter from the Cold War that uses extremely low frequency, namely ZEVS of the Russian Navy on the Kola Peninsula near Murmansk, which operates at 82 hertz and transmits electromagnetic signals with a wavelength of 3700 km , This allows you to communicate with submarines to a depth of 50 meters, albeit with a very low bandwidth and only one-sided from the ELF transmitter to the submarine. It is sent with a ground dipole antenna, which consists of two // antennas, each with a length of 60 km.

I heard the very end of the program, at 17.26. The announcer said: "Our program ends here." Next came the Afghan song. The signal is weak, but it would be possible to hear. However, it interferes with China Radio International in English, it blocks completely .... In this case, the very fact that the programs are in Russian is interesting. (Vasily, Russia / "open_dx") - Afghanistan is nominally represented on the HF-air with four half-hour programs following each other (15.30-17.30: English / Urdu / Arabic / Russian), Ivo Ivanov observes them regularly, and it often happens that even before the end of the Urdu program they are not able to pull down . And in WRTH-2019, the last two broadcasts are marked as irregular. Apparently, this is the result of a power outage; and if the transmitter is powered by a generator - maybe the fuel rate is not enough?

An impressive stack of QSL suggests that the past year was fruitful. The most active reports in 2018 were answered by NHK World Japan, KBS World, Polish Radio, Radio Prague and Taiwan Radio International. I was surprised last year by the Slovak International Radio, which produced as many as 4 original QSLs. I note, unfortunately, that less than usual answered the reports: "Voice of Turkey" and "Interradio Romania". (IK) THE CALENDAR =========== 01/12/1930 - radio operator E.T.

From Konstantin Chernushenko received the message: "We have a problem with Madagascar. Yesterday there was a storm and lightning struck the station started a fire and the transformer burned out. So while broadcasting with Madagascar will not. The exact date of repair is unknown, because the new transformer must be brought from the mainland. When something clears up - let you know. Konstantin" (Dmitry Kutuzov, Ryazan, Russia / "deneb-radio-dx") Mongolia ------------- As Hiroyuki Komatsubara reported, Mongolian Radio, Murun 4895 kHz has reactivated since New Year after long inactivity and is gradually expanding it's daytime-only schedule.

(https://www.facebook.com/groups/wrthgroup/) Pirate radio ------------------------ About 200 pirate radio stations were broadcast in 2018. 07.01.2019 BY IGOR Having looked at my own logs for the last 12 months, I counted 179 to find out how many European pirate radio stations aired. In fact, there were even more, but they did not fall into the log, because some of them use several station names, so the figure is approximate. Some went on the air on short waves only once or twice during 2018, while others appeared on the air regularly. All stations are divided into 4 types: 1. Pirate loner. Basically it goes on air from home, does not have a fixed schedule of broadcasts, goes on the air for an hour or two, plays music, says something and then turns off. 2. Non-stop music station. This station plays non-stop music with jingles, but without leading. 3. Mixed radio station. Some stations have on their staff several presenters who prepare various radio shows that are transmitted through relay stations, for example Laser Hot Hits, Focus International or FRS Holland. There are few such stations on the air. 4. Relay stations. Some legal and Internet stations are relayed on shortwave, such as Coast FM, Zenith Classic Rock or Charity Radio. Most of them are broadcast from Ireland. They were not taken into account when compiling the list of pirates. Geographical position. It will not surprise anyone that most shortwave pirates are broadcast from the Netherlands. Then there are stations with unknown locations (mainly broadcasting non-stop music), then Germany, Great Britain, Italy and several European countries with a small number of pirate stations. 1. Netherlands (99) 2. Location not determined (31) 3. Germany (13) 4. United Kingdom (10) 5 and 6. Ireland and Italy (8 each) 7. Ukraine (2) 8. Belgium, France, Hungary, Finland, Greece, Czech Republic, Portugal, Norway (1 each) A full list of stations marked on air in 2018, from Radio AC DC to Zwarte Panter, is available here - https://shortwavedx.blogspot.com/p/radio-ac-dc-radio-alice-radio-altrex.html. Some pirate stations were heard on both short and medium waves. A similar list of stations with a listing of Danish mid- wave pirates for 2018 is available on the MW Free Radio blog page - https://mwfreeradio.blogspot.com/2019/01/the- class-of-2018.html. Thus, despite the difficulties with broadcasting on short waves, such as poor transmission and interference from broadcasting and service stations, the picture looks pretty good. Let's see what will bring the 2019 year. Based on Shortwave DX blog - https://shortwavedx.blogspot.com/2019/01/nearly-200-shortwave-pirates-heard-in.html (https://swling.ru/) 73!
