The height is 540 m. The tower was built from 1960 to 1967 according to the project of engineer N.V. Nikitin (Lenin Prize, 1970), architects L.I. Batalov and D.I. Burdina. At that time it was the largest high-rise building in the world. It is distinguished by the perfection of building structures; a support ring of 3 meters thickness was used, which withstands the entire weight of the structure. According to the project, the height of the tower with the antenna and flag is about 539 m; the volume of the structure is 70000 m3, the mass (together with the foundation) is 51,400 tons, the total useful area of the premises is 14,850 m2. The lower cone-shaped part of the tower, to the 63 m mark, is made of ordinary concrete with rigid reinforcement, from 63 to 384 m - of stressed reinforced concrete; the upper part (above 384 m) is composed of cylindrical metal links decreasing in diameter. In the Ostankino television tower are located: a television station, radio stations for broadcasting on VHF, radio telephone communication stations with mobile objects, a radio relay station providing the transmission of television programs from Moscow in the territory of the Russian Federation and foreign countries; central altitude meteorological station and laboratory for the study of thunderstorms. Two high-speed elevators lift visitors to the three-story restaurant "The Seventh Heaven". The restaurant's annular room rotates around its axis, making a full turn in 40 minutes. At an altitude of 337 m - an observation deck. Work on the construction of the tower was awarded the USSR State Prize in 1969. August 27, 2000 in the tower there was a strong fire. The center of fire was at an altitude of 460 m. 3 floors were completely burned out, 3 people died. In November 2007, the 40th anniversary of the tower was celebrated, and in May 2008, construction and repair work began on the improvement of the territory and premises of the excursion route of the Ostankino television tower. Transmitters: 2 in VHF FM, 15 in FM, 2 digital DVB-T2 multiplexes and the transmission of 19 analogue TV channels continues.

UZBEKISTAN ============ The highest TV tower in Central Asia was built in Soviet times in the Uzbek SSR. Height is 375 meters. Height above sea level 480 meters. Initially, the project of the tower was intended for Baghdad. It was ordered by Kerim Kasem according to the results of the competition. However, due to the military coup in Iraq, the tower was not built. Not implemented project received the approval of Sharaf Rashidov. Work began on the placement of the television tower in Tashkent. The TV tower was built for 6 years, starting in 1978. It was put into operation on January 15, 1985. The TV tower consists of 3 main parts connected by horizontal, hinged connections: 1. Bearing frame 2. Three braces (supports) 3. Barrel (mine) Metal structures of the tower weighing more than 6000 tons, with equipment 16 000 tons rest on a powerful 11-meter foundation . The foundation is interconnected by flexible connections - reinforced concrete tapes, but which are installed columns and walls of technical buildings. Above the basement is the basement, followed by the ground part of the stylobate and the foyer. The bearing frame of the tower consists of a lattice trunk. Lattice trunk rests on the foundation and ends at 220.4m. The whole lattice frame is divided into sections. At around 85.4m. adjacent to the lattice trunk three strut. (supports) Each support weighs 540 tons. The support struts are 3 conical supports extending to the top. The struts are interconnected by a hard disk with vertical inserts, which form a rigid structure around the cage. The struts are designed for the stability of the tower and the perception of horizontal forces, they hold and dampen the vibration of the tower. The connection of the ethmoid trunk with struts is made by means of hinged links. Inside the trellis trunk from 4.4m to 123m. there is a mine with a diameter of 8m. around the mine are service areas. The main function of the TV tower is broadcasting and broadcasting. At around 220m, a dome of digital broadcasting transmitters, special communications equipment and cellular companies are located on the dome.

Their joint programs in Russian go from Mondays to Fridays from 05.35 to 05.59 and from 10.10 to 10.40 - you can listen to them at MW 549 kHz. At other times, the SD program is heard at 873 kHz, and at 549 kHz, the signal is delayed. Some reports about other programs in Russian that were in the previous bületins are probably already outdated, for example, the broadcast from 06.03 to 06.30 is in Ukrainian. (Rumen Pankov, Sofia, Bulgaria) * The National Council of Ukraine on Television and Radio Broadcasting has prepared and posted on its website 70 infographic, [https://www.nrada.gov.ua/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/inf_2018_.pdf] illustrating its activities in the past year . These graphic materials are in addition to the report of the regulator by 2018. The report of the National Council of Ukraine on Television and Radio Broadcasting to 2018 was approved at its meeting on January 24. Within the deadlines specified by law - before February 1 - this document was submitted to the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine and the President of Ukraine Source: Site of the National Council. (http://proradio.org.ua/news/2019feb.php) * The second tallest tower built in the USSR is located in Kiev. Height is 385 meters, height above sea level is 182 meters. Built in 1973. The Kiev TV Tower is still the highest lattice structure in the world and it is unlikely that this record will be broken in the future - just today no one is building such structures anymore. In addition to the tremendous height of 385 meters for the lattice structures, the Kiev TV Tower has one more feature: not a single bolt or rivet was used in its construction! Simply, all the parts were sealed with welding seams, so no bolts were needed. Another interesting fact is connected with the erection of the television tower. The fact is that the tower was not built at all in the way we used to see - not from bottom to top, but from top to bottom, that is, the top was first created, and the following modules were already substituted for it. Thanks to this design decision, it was not necessary to use a single crane or a cargo helicopter in construction. The construction of the Kiev TV tower took 5 years - from 1968 to 1973. Upon completion of construction in Kiev, a tower appeared, whose height was 60 meters higher than the height of the EYFEL TOWER, and it weighed 3 times less than the French counterpart. The design is based on 4 inclined supports, and in the center there is an elevator shaft, which smoothly passes into the antenna. Two elevators lead upstairs - the first one stops at around 200 meters, and the second one raises to 329 meters high, but ordinary people are not allowed into the tower. During strong winds, the top of the tower may deviate a few meters from the central axis - this is normal. Transmitters: 5 radio stations in VHF FM, 14 in FM, 1 in DAB (13 stations) and 6 multiplexes in DVB-T2.

They are based on the motive of the world famous melody "Shchedryk" - choral processing of a folk song, written by Ukrainian composer Nikolai Leontovich. "I think Shchedryk is the perfect embodiment of the work of modern Radio Culture. On the one hand, this is a folk tune with a centuries-old history. On the other, it is combined with the European polyphonic tradition, because Shchedryk is one of the examples of classic European choral singing. Also This song is associated with a century-old history of Ukrainian cultural diplomacy ...

It`s WHRI`s weekly one hour on this frequency, aimed at Russia, but language disinformation, listed on own FBC sked as in English, and as if on 7385, which is off now but presumably on air the other six nights. Only other active WHRI frequency now is 5920 in English. Hansjoerg Biener confirms QSLing WHRI a year ago, during Your Story Hour really in Russian; and last week, John Dusek wondered where the Russian on 7520 was coming from, Jan 27 at 0320, ``a radio sitcom or play of some sort.`` Only HFCC admits this is in Russian/English, at 03-04 on Day 7 only = Saturday, but this is about Day 1 = Sunday: usual confusion over local vs UT days. WRTH 2019 pp 505-506 shows no 7520 nor any language but English for WHRI! EiBi showed 7520 on air from WHRI only Saturdays 03 -04 and in English! More confusion about UT day. Aoki misses 7520 WHRI completely. I know WHRI briefly in Russian Saturday nights has been reported before but even FBC`s own current sked does not produce it. Frequency search includes 7.520 on dropdown as a possible one, but gets no hits. Nor does searching all frequencies in language: Russian. Then I inspected the program schedules for Angels 1, 2, 5 and 6.

Google searches on keywords get no significant results except back to the WHR sked. And: ``0330-0400 10:30 PM-11:00 PM Su Your Story Hour 7.385 Mhz`` And 0300-0315 occupied by IRN News presumably in English, then 10 minutes of LeSEA music (Glenn Hauser, DX LISTENING DIGEST) This report dispatched at 0418 UT February 3 _ Hard-Core-DX mailing list Message: 4 Date: Sun, 3 Feb 2019 From: Glenn Hauser Subject: Re: [HCDX] Russian from WHRI Hold on here --- I was more or less jesting about disinformation from WHRI -- more likely incompetence, as the Russian shows are versions of English language programs. You would think FBC would be proud to be getting certain gospel huxters into Russia. Connecting this to Drumpf`s confused foreign policy would be quite a stretch. I suppose RT is on some cable and satellite systems, but not here in Enid, where the Israeli-owned Altice/Suddenlink has a cable monopoly (but does provide its own i24 news on a basic channel). It`s rather deficient in foreign news channels except for BBC. I certainly do not miss the propaganda from RT. Glenn Hauser ........ .........

Russia said last month it was launching an investigation into the BBC in response to pressure it said London was applying on a Kremlin-funded broadcaster's operations in Britain. The regulator, Roskomnadzor, said on Thursday it was now deciding how to proceed further in the case, the TASS news agency reported. "The spot check on British Television which broadcasts BBC World News is completed. Certain violations were found. An assessment of the procedural status of these violations is currently being carried out," it said. The statement did not say what kind of violations had been found. Earlier this month, the state regulator said the BBC had published material that propagated the ideas of a terrorist group and that it was checking whether the company had broken Russian law. The BBC has repeatedly said it is in full compliance with Russian law. Reporting by Maria Kiselyova; writing by Tom Balmforth; editing by Andrew Osborn (via Mike Cooper, DXLD) ** UKRAINE. The background, and the difficulties of creating an independent public broadcasting in Ukraine, as well as the challenges that face it today, says the book, co-authored by experts of GO "Detector Media". The authors of the book are Deputy Chairman of the Supervisory Board of PJSC NSTU, Deputy Chief Editor of Detector Media Svetlana Ostap, as well as Secretary of the Supervisory Board of PJSC NSTU and Program Director of NGO Detector Media Vadim City and Media Lawyer of the Center for Democracy and Rule rights (Institute of Media Law) Igor Spokalovay. Thus, the book was written by people who were tangent to the creation of a public broadcaster, and also remember the whole difficult path that they had to go through to lay at least the legislative basis for its existence. "Media Detector" created its Public Broadcasting site https://stv.detector.media/ 7 years ago, that is, long before the legal entity of PJSC NSTU was registered ... The book will be interesting to students of journalism faculties, Ukrainian journalists, in particular, those who work in the NSTU, those who have joined the process of reforming public speech.

Kozitsky. REFERENCE. "Radiolina" (for the sake of justice - based on the French development) was a radio receiving unit, consisting of 2-4 blocks. The main unit contained a configurable circuit with a range of 450-3400 m, to which a detector unit was attached and a two or three-tube amplifier unit. When a very loud reception was required, a power amplifier unit was added. When receiving powerful stations, the receiver could be used as a detector. In 1924, the industry produced 5,000 detector and 600 tube Radiolin. (https://vk.com/club171176221) 1973 -------- Archive. Anatoly Klepov. Moscow. Russia. Confirmation of admission. Perm radio.

Hope you're well, and still listening to Shortwave. We would like to update you with the latest news about our radio station. Firstly, are you still interested in International Broadcasting? We were at the latest ASBU/HFCC frequency coordination meeting held in Tunis (Jan 21-25, 2019), where NEXUS-IBA promoted a very interesting round-table discussion on the "Future of Shortwave". We gathered different opinions from International broadcasters coming from Asia/Pacific, Africa, Europe and the USA. Unfortunately, there is still no good news about DRM receivers, and some Shortwave stations are struggling to keep alive (some may close soon), due to the high cost of spare parts and ageing transmitters. No worry, IRRS, NEXUS and EGR broadcast from some of the most up-to-date facilities that include new, high-power, energy-efficient Continental transmitters from 100 to 300 kW! We expect a press-release from the HFCC soon; in the meantime, you can read more at http://mv.ie/sw . Secondly, we would like to announce a series of daily broadcasts to Europe on our mainstream frequency of 7,290 kHz from 19-20 UTC (winter), i.e. 20:00-21:00 CET, featuring the best of IPAR (International Public Access Radio) and EGR (European Gospel Radio) programs. For example, tonight, starting each Monday, Feb. 4, 2019, "The Voice of Love will broadcast a selection of some of the most entertaining spiritual programs in English, designed for our international audience. More information is available here: https://bit.ly/2WE2hmZ . The Voice of Love will reply directly to all requests of reception reports during these broadcasts (each Monday during February, from 19:00-20:00 UTC on 7,295 kHz to Europe, Mid-East & N Africa). We invite you to express your support to our content producers and visit our newly renovated web site for additional information at https://www.nexus.org and http://egradio.org . Write us or contact us from our web site, and please let your friends know about our new programs. With very best 73s, Stay tuned!
