Radio Day in Russia - May 7 Radio Day Communications Workers' Day (as it is officially known in Russia) or Radio and Television Day, as it is known in Bulgaria) is a commemoration of the development of radio in Russia. It takes place on 7 May, the day in 1895 on which Alexander Popov successfully demonstrated his invention. In 1895, Popov gave the first public demonstration of radio as a tool before the Russian Physical and Chemical Society in St. Petersburg, using Sir Oliver Lodge's coherer as a lightning detector. Popov has been put forward in the old Soviet Union and Eastern Europe as an "inventor of radio" (although historians note it may be more due to Cold War era politics than historical evidence). In contrast the Western world recognizes Guglielmo Marconi as the first to develop a viable system based on radio (Herzian) waves. Radio Day was first observed in the Soviet Union in 1945, on the 50th anniversary of Popov's experiment, and some four decades after his death. Radio Day is officially marked in Russia and Bulgaria. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_Day (via Mike Terry, WOR iog via DXLD) See also ARMENIA ** RUSSIA. History - Popov demonstrates radio receiver, May 7, 1895 EDN BY Suzanne Deffree May 07, 2019 In Saint Petersburg, Russian physicist Alexander Stepanovich Popov demonstrated the Popov lightning detector, a primitive radio receiver, to the Russian Physical and Chemical Society on May 7, 1895. In the early 1890s, Popov began conducting experiments along the lines of Heinrich Hertz's research. In 1894, he built the first radio receiver, which contained a coherer. He further refined the design as a lightning detector. A paper on his work was published in December 1895, but he did not apply for a patent for his invention. In March 1896, Popov transmitted radio waves between buildings in St Petersburg. In 1898, he realized ship-to-shore communication over a distance of 6 miles, and then over 30 miles a year later. In 1900, a radio station was established under Popov's instructions on Hogland Island (Suursaari) in the Baltic Sea to provide two-way communication by wireless telegraphy between the Russian naval base and the crew of the battleship General-Admiral Apraksin. In some parts of the former Soviet Union, May 7 is celebrated as Radio Day as Popov has generally been recognized in Eastern Europe as the "inventor of radio," in contrast to the West's recognition of Marconi and Tesla. Popov's work on the emission and reception of signals by means of electromagnetic oscillations built upon Nikola Tesla's accomplishments demonstrated in 1893. Guglielmo Marconi received a patent for radio in 1896, but his device is widely thought to be based on various earlier techniques of other researchers, including Tesla, and resembled instruments demonstrated by others, including Popov. The three inventors are among a small group of scientists and engineers who had a hand in the invention of radio. https://www.edn.com/electronics-blogs/edn-moments/4413552/Popov-demonstrates-radio-receiver--May-7--1895 (via Mike Terry, WOR iog via DXLD) ** RUSSIA. May 7, Russia celebrates the holiday - Radio Day. Happy holiday to you, newsletter readers! From the Resolution of the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR dated May 4, 1945: To commemorate the 50th anniversary of the invention of the radio by the Russian scientist A. S. Popov, who was executed on May 7, 1945, the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR decided: taking into account the crucial role of radio in the cultural and political life of the population and for the defense of the country and technology in the field of radio and the promotion of radio amateur among the general population, to establish on May 7 the annual Radio Day.

For the first time this date was solemnly celebrated in the USSR in 1925, and since 1945 the holiday is celebrated annually. - Postage stamp of the USSR, 1989 in the picture of N.

By BBC Monitoring Russia is deploying the Murmansk-BN electronic warfare system to Kaliningrad Region, the website of pro-government Russian newspaper Izvestia reported on 26 April. The system is capable of jamming military communications networks at ranges up to 5,000 km (in exception conditions, 8,000 km), the report said. The first Murmansk systems were deployed in Kaliningrad, with the Baltic Fleet's 841st Separate Electronic Warfare Centre, at the end of last year, the report said. Murmansk-BN is a short-wave shore-based electronic warfare system capable of electronic intelligence gathering (ELINT) missions, as well as intercepting and jamming signals in all shortwave bands, the report said.

A judge has ruled (7 May) that RM Broadcasting who hire airtime on WZHF 1390 AM to air Russian Sputnik International radio programmes 24/7 must register as a Russian foreign agent under recent new US government registration rules. RM Broadcasting had originally refused to register as a foreign agent, New York born owner Arnold Ferolito, arguing he simply had an arms-length commercial business transaction with Russian news agency Rossiya Sevodnya and that "in the United States a person should be able to do business without US government interference" according to this article published in March in the Washington Post: Ferolito's business is buying and reselling airtime from FCC licensees. The Washington Post article says Ferolito, who has a Russian wife and took Russian language lessons, had also sold airtime in New York to the Voice of Russia back in 2010.* Ferolito started a crowdfunding appeal on GoFundMe appeal to cover the costs of his legal battle with the Department of Justice https://www.gofundme.com/small-businessman-takes-on-doj but has raised only $1,180 in 3 months (9-May). But the fund-raising page lists his arguments against registering as a foreign agent. WTOP reports that "In June 2018, the government informed RM Broadcasting it should register as a radio station with foreign allegiances under new registration rules, which likely refers to the passage of the John McCain Defense Authorization Act in 2018." Tuesday's ruling in favour of the US Department of Justice enforces the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA), originally adopted by Congress in 1938 to combat Nazi propaganda according to the WTOP report The judge's ruling bolsters the Justice Department's efforts requiring several media outlets, including Russia Today, to register as foreign agents. WZHF broadcasts on 1390 from a site at Capitol Heights, Maryland covering Washington DC and surrounds with a daytime power of 9 kilowatts (reduced to 1 kilowatt after dark). The station's FCC file describes it as a "non-commercial educational station". WZHF's licensee, Way Broadcasting Inc, has a broker contract with RM Broadcasting (on the FCC site) to air "Sputnik Radio" programming 24/7 Monday-Saturday (and 22 hours on Sundays) from 25 November 2017 to 31 December 2020. * presume this was on 1430 WNSW Newark NJ, which carried Voice of Russia 24hrs from January 2011 to April 2014 (and heard on October 2012 Sheigra DXpedition).
