World Radio Network. 738 kHz. Announcement on the air: "From May 1, 2019, the broadcasting of the radio channel by the World Radio Network at the 738 kHz medium-wave frequency will be temporarily suspended for editorial-independent reasons. We will make every effort to return to the air of Moscow and the Moscow region in the near future. Our partners will continue to broadcast programs of the World Radio Network via satellite and on the Internet. Details you will find on the site wrn.ru " (Vasily Gulyaev, Astrakhan, Russia / "deneb-radio-dx" & "open_dx") - "The news of our channel is the World Radio Network. Unfortunately, from May 1, we will have to temporarily suspend the broadcasting of our broadcasts at a medium wave frequency of 738 kHz. The reason is the consolidation of state structures in our country; therefore, the transmitting center on which our technical facilities are located has lost its independence and entered into a larger structure. And in the process of consolidation, as usual, an inspection was carried out. This check revealed that, in addition to the main facilities, there are technical means of third-party organizations, including ours, at the radio center. And if these funds of third-party organizations for more than two decades did not prevent the transmitting center from successfully operating according to its basic purpose, now they have sharply prevented the new owner. Thus, from May 1, all broadcasting from Kurkino stops. To date, these are just the two remaining transmitters. At a frequency of 612 kHz, this is the "Narodnoe Radio" and "Radonezh" and at a frequency of 738 kHz, the World Radio Network. As for us, the World Radio Network, we are doing everything possible to find a new place to accommodate our facilities and resume broadcasting on medium wave 738 kHz. " (Quote from the program "Radiopanorama" for lovers of long-range radio. The author and presenter - Vadim Alekseev. 04/27/2019) * Radio station "Pi FM", still broadcasting through the Internet and in the regions, went on the Moscow air. Its owner, holding company MKR-Media, has acquired the frequency of 71.3 MHz from Russky Radio. Market participants are skeptical about the possibility of "Pi FM" to attract a tangible audience: its wave is in the unpopular VHF range, which now receives only a small part of household radios. MKR-Media LLC received on December 29 the frequency of 71.3 MHz in Moscow and the Moscow Region for broadcasting of the Pi FM radio station, follows from Roskomnadzor data. The frequency was received in the order of transfer from JSC "Russian Radio Group" (RMG) JSC "Russian Radio - Eurasia" according to the decision of the Federal Competition Commission on TV and Radio Broadcasting, specified "Kommersant" in the press service of "MKR- Media". The director of the regional development department of the RMG, Vladislav Kostiuk, said that in December 2018, the RMG decided to get rid of this frequency as an unprofitable asset, since its development "does not affect the coverage of the Russian Radio station" (its main frequency in Moscow is 105.7 MHz ). "The deal is financially interesting and allowed RMG to focus on strategic projects and reallocate resources to build a network of DFM and Monte Carlo radio stations," he added. "Pi FM" since August 2018, broadcasts on the Internet, and also received a number of frequencies of another station "MKR-Media" - "Radio Siberia". Her repertoire includes "Russian-language musical hits in an exclusive dance treatment," the former DFM program director Igor Azovskiy is responsible for the content. MKR-Media conducted "active negotiations" on broadcasting in Moscow and St. Petersburg, and in the summer they told Kommersant in its press service. The holding promised that by the end of 2019 the station will appear in more than 50 Russian cities in the FM band. In addition to the Moscow region, it already has frequencies in 11 cities, including Tula, Kemerovo and Novokuznetsk. MKR-Media itself is owned by Interstate Development Corporation (95%) and the former general director of the Russian- Chinese TV channel TV BRICS (the main project of the media holding, telling about the BRICS countries) Pavel Pautov (5%). MKR-Media is headed by a former top manager of the Russian Media Group, Anna Mileikova. The frequency of 71.3 MHz belongs to the lower FM band, while FM frequencies are called the upper FM band from 87.5 MHz to 108 MHz, in which more than 50 stations broadcast in Moscow and there are no free frequencies. Interviewed "Kommersant" market participants doubt the prospects to attract an audience in this range. The head of one of the FM stations notes that the VHF frequency catches only about a third of the fleet of household receivers, and there are almost no radio receivers, except for rare Japanese cars. In this case, the cost of the transmitter, maintenance and other payments for broadcasting at such a frequency, he estimates at least 700 thousand rubles. per month. Another media manager, who previously developed a radio station in VHF, recalls that in this band, in the 2000s, it was possible to work relatively successfully with Ultra radio. "But now it is already the 2019th. I don't think that someone will listen to them there now, "he is skeptical. In "MKR-Media" do not agree with such estimates. "Contrary to the common stereotype that only old grandmothers Soviet radios are capable of receiving the lower range, in any electronics store you can find a sufficient number of car stereos, receivers and portable players capable of receiving an extended frequency range. Considering that in the lower range of Moscow, from January 1, only four operating frequencies (including Autoradio, Radio Radonezh and Radio Russia. - "Kommersant") are left with PiFM, we are very optimistic about the prospects "- noted in the press service of the holding. The frequency of 71.3 MHz is "legendary", emphasize in "MKR-Media": "Many still remember" M-Radio ", which just broadcast in the 1990s at this frequency". Finally, the State Commission for Radio Frequencies in September 2018 allocated the entire VHF band for the future development of a new digital radio standard DRM +, and therefore MKR-Media also sees the frequency of the outlook.

Krasnodarsky kray --The car was driving the Krasnodar roads, tens of kilometers behind. Agonizing wait for the unknown, but so desired. Left Tbilisskuyu. And suddenly the driver says: "Look." In the distance, antennas of the Kuban Radio Center appeared. A peculiar Mecca for those who love and miss the powerful broadcasting. Today, it is the only radio center within the Federal State Unitary Enterprise RTRS, which broadcasts programs in the range of short waves from the territory of Russia. Think about it. ONLY. 10 years ago, there were dozens of them. And today is one. Alas, over the past years, many of the objects of powerful broadcasting have irrevocably gone down in history. I missed the important pages of analog radio, which I regret about now. And I decided to make it. Hurry up to see how Russia's only shortwave transmitter makes broadcasting from Krasnodar Earth. The center occupies a large area. Why are there big, gigantic. LW / MW / SW antenna systems, feeder lines and technical buildings with transmitters, workshops. Megawatt tube giants are the center's pride. The best minds collected them with their own hands, and of course they told me about the transmitters with special warmth. The last one to broadcast in the mid-wave range using the RV-681 transmitter with a power of 1,200 kW at a frequency of 1089 kHz was Vesti fm radio station in 2014. After a break in loading (liquidation of the Voice of Russia), it became a breath of air for the center and its employees. Transmitters are water cooled. Distilled water is supplied through pipes using pumps. On the territory there are pools-coolers of the circulating fluid. The only transmitter was stopped on November 30, 2014, after several months of operation. From this point on, the SV transmitters of Kuban were silent. On the floor is quiet. However, everything is in perfect condition and, if necessary, ready to go. Here are located the 1000 kW shortwave transmitters of the Bob-2 type. Now about shortwave broadcasting. Less powerful HF transmitters are located in a separate building, air cooling. It is here, several times a week, that one of the transmitters comes to life. (PB - 688), for broadcasting the international broadcasting programs of the "Adygea" State TV and Radio Company. Yes, the Adyghe leadership cares about their compatriots in other countries and allocates funds for shortwave broadcasts. Adygea is a unique subject of the Russian Federation, part of another subject - Krasnodar Kray. Today, it is the only customer for powerful broadcasting from the Kuban Radio Center. And this is not an empty sound. It is the programs of the Adygeya State Television and Radio Company that allow the Kuban Radio Center to remain in the number of operating, and not conserved, as in many regions of the country. Today he is so alone. I want to thank the leadership of the Republic of Adygea for the attention to their people and, of course, for the opportunity, albeit at the meager level, to maintain powerful broadcasting in Russia. It is important. Iron is good. But you need to mention people. In the radio center, as in the Krasnodar branch of FSUE RTRS, there are real professionals in their field. And the condition of the Kuban Radio Center is a clear confirmation of this. Let no load, and it seems - it's hopeless. But the equipment is not looted, fully operational and ready to work on demand. Workers know the entire infrastructure to screw, because some have been working here for more than 40 years! And they, like me, hope that the world will still hear the voices of the Kuban tube giants not only in the face of the Adygeya State Television and Radio Company. That the equipment assembled by hand will benefit society and please the eye of its creators. The branch has its own radio club. In general, the question of amateur radio communications in the Krasnodar branch of FSUE RTRS is posed very seriously. There is a field base, equipped with the latest technology. I think many amateurs may envy such a secret. The team participates in competitions, field trips. The number of connections made exceeded the 20,000 QSO barrier. I had a chance to talk with the activists of the club, our conversation lasted more than one hour. After all, radio amateurs will always find topics for conversation. Of course, I asked about the prospects, although I know perfectly well - it's better not to ask such a question here. He is not uncomfortable. The answer to it involuntarily casts sadness. What to do with the centers of powerful broadcasting should be solved at the highest level. For now ... For now, as it is. Standing on the antenna field, he looked at the numerous masts, feeders, technical building. And he closed his eyes for a minute. Imagine that it might perish overnight ... Never. I sincerely believe that this will never happen. At least in my age. That engineering marvel will work for its intended purpose and benefit people. Such centers, like others in our country, cannot be turned into a pile of scrap. After all, it is not only iron, it is the life of dozens of people who have invested their love in these structures. These are the fates and generations of people committed to their work. To demolish is to trample, betray, and destroy non-material wealth - memory. After the excursion, the deputy director of the branch, Vladimir Vasilievich Bezverkhy, knowing that I had a receiver in my bag, suggested setting it to 1593 kHz. I thought I would hear there probably Romanians. But what was my surprise when, at this frequency, with perfect quality, I heard the broadcast "Radio Zvezda". Somehow I came across information on the Internet that a "pirate" station is broadcasting in this region, or rather relays to the "Zvezda". But of course, by the time of the trip I forgot about it. Who broadcasts is not known. But I understand that the broadcast is to the liking of the residents of the village of October. Transmitter power is small, after leaving the village, the possibility of receiving disappeared. Probably, while the big "dad" is on vacation, his "child" continues the work of the "father". It may not be very legal, but in my opinion it's great! I express my deep gratitude to those who helped me to success. Director of the branch of RTRS "Krasnodar KRTPTS" Alexander Ilyich Zolotov Deputy Branch Director Vladimir Vasilievich Bezverkhy Professionals - radio amateurs branch RTRS "Krasnodar KRTPTS" Viktor Nikolaevich Efimtsov RU6AX Vasily Yurievich Samay RA6AU as well as employees of the Kuban Radio Center, who helped conduct a tour of the facility. All this would not have taken place on the vine without the help of my faithful fellow hobby Mikhail Timofeyev. If you are told that nothing is broadcast on HF in Russia, do not believe it. Is broadcasting. I was convinced personally. With all respect, Andrew. 73! # RTRS # Radio # Kuban Photo: https://vk.com/club171176221?w=wall-171176221_4501 (Andrey Molokov, St. Petersburg, Russia / https://vk.com/club171176221 via Rus-DX 14 April via DXLD) KRASNODAR site is identified as ARM for Armavir in HFCC and elsewhere, Soviet-era disinformation prolonged, like so much else in Russia today.

RED FMO Frequency Management Organization, via RRTM Telecom Tashkent Uzbekistan bcast center. Morgen, Mittwoch, 24. April 2019 wird ab 23 Uhr UTC "Spectres of Shortwave" in der Jackman Hall, Art Gallery of Ontario, Kanada im Kino gezeigt. Wie ueblich bei Ihren Performances wird Amanda Dawn Christie die Tonspur des Programms auch ueber Kurzwelle ausstrahlen: April 24 ab 2300 UTC bis 0100 UTC am Folgetag auf 7595 kHz via Tashkent Richtung Europa. "Reine Nachtschwaermer Angelegenheit". Darum geht's: "Spectres of Shortwave / Ombres des ondes courtes is the first feature- length documentary by veteran Canadian artist and filmmaker Amanda Dawn Christie. Shot over seven years, the film follows the gradual dismantling of Radio Canada International's 113-metre tall shortwave towers in Sackville, New Brunswick. While built to relay broadcasts around the world, over their seven decades of operation the towers became notorious locally after repeated instances of ghostly voices emanating from unconventional household objects. Such stories form part of the film's rich soundscape, also constructed using contact mics on the towers. Produced as both a single-channel film as well as a radio documentary, Spectres of Shortwave / Ombres des ondes courtes will be presented simultaneously in the Toronto cinema space at the same time it is broadcast over the airwaves of an international shortwave station."
