For this purpose, a directional antenna was used, consisting of four mast frame masts 125.1 meters high, isolated from the ground with a triangular cross section.

Used power: 1000 kW. in 2002-2003 The transmission equipment for the Voice of Russia was modernized. The transmitter efficiency reached 84%. There is evidence that the transmitter has become a transistor, which at a very decent radiation power is amazing. Broadcasting of the German radio company (MDR) was discontinued on June 30, 2011. On July 14, the "German" site of the center was demolished, the work of the Voice of Russia continued normally. In December 2012, the management of the Russian foreign broker announced intentions to stop using the radio center for financial reasons.

As Valery Fedorov, General Director of VTsIOM, noted, the radio audience peaks in the two most economically active and resource age categories - 35-44 and 45-59 years. The expert associates the result with the active lifestyle of such people and the high role of the car in it. According to the survey, Russians more often listen to the radio, being in their own vehicles (56%), as well as at home (41%). Fedorov stressed that, despite the general decline in the popularity of radio, talking about the decline of this information channel is wrong: Despite the reduction in the audience of the radio, still almost every second of adult Russians is a consumer of this channel for disseminating information and entertainment. The trend to reduce the audience of this type of media has been outlined for a long time, but it is rather slow, and there is no reason to talk about the approaching "death" of radio. Those who listen to the radio are most interested in music and news on the air. This was noted by 74% and 53% of respondents, respectively, with respondents aged 25-34 years who listen to music more often, and the news is older people. The most popular radio stations, according to VTsIOM, were Russkoe Radio (15%) and Europa Plus (14%), followed by Radio Dacha, Road Radio, Mayak (12% each), Avtoradio ( 11%) and Retro FM (10%).

As part of a project to study the audience of Belarusian radio stations, AMG-Consult presented data on the popularity of stations in the regional centers of the country for 2018. The study was conducted by telephone interview using a computer-assisted call recording system (CATI - Computer Assisted Telephone Interviewing). During the survey, respondents indicated the time of listening to the radio for yesterday, and also indicated the listening intervals of specific radio stations. From January to December 2018 in Minsk and regional centers of Belarus, 45,000 people aged 12-65 were interviewed. The monthly sample size was 3,750. Executor of the study - the company GEVS MEDIA. For 2018, the sample size for regional centers ranged from 3,810 to 5,607 respondents. Shares of radio stations. Each regional center is characterized by its own set of available radio stations. 8 medium and large national stations broadcast in each regional center - this is the 1st National, BH, Mir, New Radio, Pilot FM, Radius FM, Rocks and Humor FM. During 2018, they expanded their technical penetration into regional centers Mental Radio (broadcasting started in Mogilyov in June), FM Center (from September in Vitebsk and Grodno, from December in Gomel and Mogilev), Legends FM (from November in Vitebsk , from December in Gomel), Radio Relax and Autoradio (they started broadcasting in Gomel in December). However, on the scale of annual data, the audience of these stations in these cities is still small, since the calculations also take into account the periods of 2018 before the start of their broadcasting. The level of listening of republican stations is not the same in regions: it depends on the technical quality of the signal and, in particular, on the different competitive environment of each region, which is formed by local Belarusian players (2 stations in Brest, Grodno, Mogilev and 4 stations in Gomel and Vitebsk) ). In general, regional broadcasters in the regions are traditionally highly popular - their total audience share (Share) in 2018 was from 18% in Brest to 39% in Vitebsk.

The main reason for this appeal is the refusal of the National Council to extend the term of the radio broadcasting license of Radio Vesti. For its part, the media holding suspects the regulator in exceeding official authority and bias against the HCVU. At the same time, the Moscow Art University declares its plans to protect its rights and interests, as well as to challenge in court all further, in its opinion, illegal actions and decisions of the National Council on television and radio broadcasting. As reported, MHVU is protesting against the decision of the National Council on TV and Radio Broadcasting to put the Kiev frequencies previously owned by Radio Vesti to the contest. In November 2018, the National Broadcasting Council imposed a fine of more than 20 thousand UAH on Radio Vesti because of a violation of the law on language quotas. In March 2017, the National Council on TV broadcasting refused to renew the broadcasting license of TRK DIVOSVIT LLC (Kiev, broadcasts under the Radio Vesti logo), which expired in February of the same year.

Moscow -- The highest TV tower built in the USSR is the famous Ostankino TV tower. 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.

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.

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 [sic], 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.

Menschen und Geschichten"-Zeit Und da das Herz vor Freude puckert, wenn man Fruehstueckseier zuckert servieren wir wieder passend dazu ein Bouquet radiophonischer Cerealien, die wunderbar zu Toast, Marmelade, Kaffee und Quark passen. Die Themen (unter anderem): In diesen Tagen wird Radio auf Ultrakurzerwelle 70 Jahre alt. Kurz nach dem 2. Weltkrieg aus einer Notlage entstanden, hat UKW die Lang- und Mittelwellenuebertragungen ueber die Jahre immer mehr verdraengt, und selbst heute, im digitalen Zeitalter ist UKW nach wie vor der beliebteste Empfangsweg fuer den Hoerfunk. Eigentlich wollten der Bayerische Rundfunk und der Nordwestdeutsche Rundfunk auf dem neuen Wellenbereich in Deutschland gemeinsam starten, am 01. Maerz 1949 ... Das "aber" klaeren wir am Sonntag. [An dieser Stelle wuerde in der Sendung jetzt so ein Wusch-Geraeusch abgespielt werden. Das ist aber im geschriebenen Text schwer realisierbar, daher bitte einfach eins vorstellen]. Fuer Andorra ist es sowas, wie der Fund des Bernsteinzimmers: Die alte Discotheque des 1981 eingestellten Senders "Radio Andorra". 190.000 Schallplatten, darunter 20.000 Schellackplatten, zahlreiche Tonbaender und Kassetten sind die einmaligen Zeugen eines der beliebstesten Radiosender der Region, der vor 80 Jahren erstmals "On Air" ging. 30 Jahre lagerten die Tontraeger unter teils schwierigen Bedingungen. Vor 10 Jahren begann der Restaurationsprozess, mittlerweile ist 1/3 des Materials gesichtet und gesichert. Jetzt stehen die ersten Werke digital fuer die Oeffentlichkeit zur Verfuegung - Zeit fuer einen Rueck- und Ausblick. Wir sprechen mit der Leiterin der Audiovisuellen Abteilung im Arxiu Nacional d'Andorra, Cinta Pujal ueber Ihre Arbeit am akustischen kulturellen Erbes des Fuerstentums. [auch hier wieder: Wuuuuuuuuuuuuuusch] Mit einer Leistung von 1200 kW war die Europawelle Saar auf Mittelwelle 1422 kHz aus Heusweiler der staerkste Sender der ARD.

Denmark. Dansk DX Lytter Klub (DDXLK). W:www.ddxlk.dk (WRTH 2019) * Italy ----------- The Italian right-wing party "League", part of the government coalition, launched a campaign aimed at making radio stations devote almost half of their airtime to Italian music. It is reported by The Times. The deputy of the League and the former director of the party radio station, Alessandro Morelli, submitted to Parliament a bill that provides that radio stations must give more than a third of the airtime to the songs of Italian singers that are recorded and produced in the country. An additional 10% of airtime should be reserved for new Italian talents, and as a whole, 43% of airtime should be given to Italian music. Morelli said that promoting Italian music will help the country's cultural industry and create jobs. "Music is not just entertainment, but a story of our life. We want to help young people, as there is a cartel agreement that prevents young Italians from starting work," he said. The bill was filed after singer Alessandro Mahmoud, known under the stage name Mahmoud, whose father was an Egyptian immigrant, won the San Remo festival and will present Italy at Eurovision-2019. His song Money contains Arabic lyrics and links to the Muslim holiday of Ramadan. League leader Matteo Salvini expressed dissatisfaction with such a winner: "Mahmud ... Mah ... a beautiful Italian song ?! I would choose Ultimo," he wrote on Twitter, referring to the singer from Rome, who took second place in the competition . "The victory of Mahmud shows that big lobbies and political interests prevail over music. I hope that this proposal will open wide debates about Italian creativity and, above all, our people," said Morelli. Politicians of the League claim that the bill was created following the example of France, where 35% of the songs on the radio must be French. The share has been reduced from 40% in 2016. (http://onair.ru/main/enews/view_msg/NMID__72365/) * Slovenia / Italy ---------------------- The government of Slovenia will sue Italy because of the illegal broadcast of Italian radio stations in the border areas. This writes RTVslo. "Thus, we want to remind Italy once again that this violates all international norms in this area. At least now, obviously, there is no other lever," said Slovenian Minister of State Rudi Medved. The Slovenian government plans to file six lawsuits against the neighboring state. In addition, it promises to continue to draw attention to the problem from the International Telecommunication Union, at the bilateral level and at the EU level. Last week in Italy, on the same day, the first sessions were held in eight lawsuits due to the increased presence of Slovenian broadcasters in Italy. eurointegration.com.ua (http://onair.ru/main/enews/view_msg/NMID__72358/) 73!
