Astrakhan. ------------------------------------------------- June 12 at 12:00 in Astrakhan on the frequency of 89.1 FM starts broadcasting Radio KP. The new point has become the 62nd in a row transmitter of the federal network of the radio station. Astrakhan is the administrative center of the Astrakhan region, the oldest economic and cultural center of the Lower Volga region. The potential reach of a new KP audience will be over 500,000. On the radio station there will be copyright and information programs, live broadcasts with the participation of politicians, newsmakers, stars, public figures - all to keep abreast of the main news of their city, country, and world every day. Radio Komsomolskaya Pravda is actively developing a network of broadcasting in the regions. The federal network of Radio KP has 62 transmitters in Russia from Khabarovsk to Kaliningrad and covers more than 400 cities in the signal zone with its broadcasting. The previous radio transmitter launched in October last year in Khanty-Mansiysk, and soon it is planned to start broadcasting in St. Petersburg and Nizhnevartovsk. Radio "Komsomolskaya Pravda" is one of the largest radio networks with federal coverage and leadership positions in the growth dynamics of the audience among Russian information radio stations. According to the research company Mediascope for the second half of 2018, the average monthly audience of the radio station across the country grew by 21%. Every day, radio "KP" listens to more than 1.4 million Russians. In Moscow, the radio broadcasts on frequency 97.2 FM, as well as online mode on the site fm.kp.ru and in the social networks of Radio KP (Facebook, VK, OK and YouTube).

From an interview with Nikolai Garanin, Head of the Television and Radio Workshop of the city of Anadyr of the RTRS Branch "Delnoeostochny Regional Center": "For us, the best option was to use the capabilities of the Kamchatka radio center, equipped with a 100-kilowatt radio transmitter, thanks to which residents of remote areas of Chukotka can receive the signal, having the most simple radio receivers that receive short waves. Thus, it will be possible to promptly deliver news and other programs to the workers of the reindeer-breeding brigades, fishermen, hunters, geologists and prospectors. We have already checked the range of radio signal coverage from Kamchatka, which is about 90% of the territory of Chukotka, which is a lot. Specialists set up a diagrammatic field, and its focus on Chukotka had to be regulated for almost four months in order to cover the territory as much as possible. All technical moments are coordinated with the center in Moscow. Information about the frequencies at which it is supposed to broadcast, we will give separately.

This was announced on Facebook by the general producer of "Ukrainian Radio" Dmitry Khorkin. "The site of Ukrainian Radio is moving to a new European address: .radio is a new address: http://ukr.radio/," he noted. Dmitry Khorkin explained that previously "Ukrainian Radio" was on the government domain gov.ua (gov - from the 'government'), which was provided only to state bodies and institutions. "As the Ukrainian radio is public, not government governmental, everything is logical! (For some time we still have the previous address as an additional address)," explained the general producer of UR. The manager of the Broadcast direction at Ukrainian Radio, Alexander Solomka, told Media Detector that the site on the old domain will work until the activity on the visit has faded. The new site can be found in the search engine for a few weeks. Now, for example, if Google introduces "Ukrainian Radio" into Google, then only the old domain is knocked out - http://www.nrcu.gov.ua/. Recall, on November 16, on the Day of Radio, Television and Communications of Ukraine, NSTU launched a mobile application for public radio, where listening to Ukrainian Radio, Radio Promin and Radio Culture is available. On gadgets on GooglePlay with iOS and Android operating systems, you can download the application suspilne.radio, which allows you to listen to all three radio stations of the Public Broadcaster and download programs from the archive. In February 2019, on the "Ukrainian Radio" created a map with Internet broadcasting of all regional radio stations from the Public network. In May, the site of the Ukrainian Radio published four interactive maps that reproduced, where and on which frequencies you can listen to Ukrainian Radio, Luch, Kultura, Voice of Donbass (Donetsk region) and Pulse ( Lugansk region) (Source: Portal "Public.

Similar programs, but in English and Persian sound on Thursdays and Fridays from 1805 UT on 1377 kHz (Rumen Pankov, Bulgaria; via RUSdx #1030 via wwdxc BC-DX TopNews May 26, BC-DX 31 May via DXLD) ** RUSSIA. Moscow -- The Novosibirsk DX Site has received unconfirmed information that the World Radio Network is planning to return to the air in Moscow and the Moscow Region in the near future at a new frequency of 1017 kHz through a 20 kW transmitter in Noginsk (Igor Yaremenko, Novosibirsk, Russia / "deneb-radio-dx" via Rus-DX June 2, via DXLD) ** RUSSIA. Radio Zazerkalya (Radio Looking Glass). W: https://zazeradio.com/ Radio "Through the Looking Glass" created by the forces of people with mental illness. We really see the world not as the majority sees it. And we do not want to convince you otherwise. According to statistics, about eight million people in Russia annually seek psychiatric care. Nevertheless, we remain outcasts in a "healthy" world. We are tired of being ashamed of our illnesses in everyday life, so here we are talking about them frankly. We create materials about life, art and medicine. Among us are philologists, architects, art historians, philosophers, musicians. We only talk about what we understand, and only in the way we want. In The Looking Glass, we are free from hospital walls, social stereotypes and other restrictions. Our stories are not always a tragedy. Of course, the disease takes a lot, but in return gives something. If you want to hear our world, join the Looking Glass. The radio project "Through the Looking Glass" was created with the support of the Regional Public Organization "Psychiatrists' Club" and the Dobry Vek Charitable Foundation. The Radio Through the Looking Glass online radio station is a very special project with programs about contemporary art, music, philosophy and literature. Among the authors are architects, philosophers, poets, art historians, philologists, artists. There is no censorship, except that politics and religion are not discussed on the air. And the main feature of the radio station is that all programs create mentally ill people with great talent. Only the editor-in-chief, the sound engineer and the editor-in-chief do not have any "references". Radio was created in 2014 as a way to talk about the adaptation of man to the world in general and the problems of mentally ill people in particular. This is a kind of manifesto of freedom from stereotypes and victory over their own diseases, which opens up a new world to the listener. To give a rough idea of the spectrum of the issues under consideration, we present only a few topics of the programs: "What is fate and rock?", "What are mental crises?", "Why do we laugh?", "What is hippo?", "There is Is the crime gene? "," Is there a link between genetics and psychology? " This is not the only radio station in the world, which was created by psychologists and mentally ill people, there is also "Nicosia" in Barcelona and "La Colifata" in Argentina. Radio Zazerkalye was created with the support of the Regional Public Organization "Psychiatrists' Club" and the Dobry Vekh Charitable Foundation, and broadcasts from the studio in the territory of the Alekseev Hospital No. 1, live broadcasts are from the medical rehabilitation department. The radio station team worked a lot during the launch - none of those who recorded the programs worked at the microphone before. But the project participants quickly learned from their own mistakes, and now some programs are being broadcast live. Guests of the programs are often popular musicians, artists, writers, poets. All podcasts are available on Radio Zazerkalya (Rus-DX June 2, via DXLD) ** UZBEKISTAN [and non]. BBC correspondent is accredited in Uzbekistan Date: 05.06.2019 Last updated: 05.06.2019 at 16.08 The BBC's presence in Uzbekistan has been boosted with the accreditation of Avaz Takhirov as the BBC's correspondent based in Tashkent. At its launch in 1994, the BBC Uzbek Service announced two objectives: to bring Uzbekistan to the world, and the world to Uzbekistan. This accreditation ensures that news from the Uzbek-speaking world, now reinforced with direct reporting from Uzbekistan, will have an even greater impact and visibility across the full range of BBC News global platforms in more than 40 languages. In a move that has been welcomed by international organisations, the Uzbekistan authorities recently unblocked several websites including bbc.com/uzbek. Following the signing of a memorandum of understanding on editorial collaboration between the BBC and Uzbekistan's popular TV channel Sevimli TV, BBC Uzbek journalists have been working with the channel on a number of projects. BBC News Uzbek offers content tailored for Uzbek-speakers in Uzbekistan as well as Afghanistan and the rest of the world, and is one of the largest international news providers in the region. In addition to the website bbc.com/uzbek, BBC News Uzbek connects with audiences via Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, Twitter and Odnoklassniki as well as Telegram. The BBC's 10-minute TV news bulletin for Uzbek-speakers in Afghanistan has a weekly audience of 1.8 million. https://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/latestnews/2019/avaz-takhirov-uzbekistan (via Dr Hansjoerg Biener, DXLD) but at what cost?

Andorra is a tiny Principality high up in the Pyrenees mountains between Spain and France. It is famous for its skiing and shops selling very cheap alcohol and clocks and watches! According to Wikipedia it has the seventh highest level of alcohol consumption in the world, with 13.8 litres per person. I have visited two or three times in the summer. The drive up is impressive but the place itself is basically one road and is fairly unimpressive. AWR at one stage had a shortwave transmitter there and I remember getting the QSL back. You go to Andorra if you want to cross a country off your list, buy some alcohol, fill the car up cheaply, or go skiing. Catalan is the language of the country and the local peseta is the currency (anon., June NZ DX Times via DXLD) Hard-Core-DX Digest -------------------------------- * Vol 198, Issue 13 Message: 6 Date: Wed, 12 Jun 2019 18:52:23 +0000 From: Rudolf Grimm Subject: [HCDX] #145 / Reception in S?o Bernardo SP, BRAZIL - June 12, 2019 #145 / RECEPTION IN S?O BERNARDO SP, BRAZIL *** June 12, 2019 (Times in UTC) Rx: KiwiSDR (PY2-81502 SWL, S?o Bernardo) + PA0RDT Mini Whip *** CLANDESTINE UZBEKISTAN: 11510 kHz Radio Free North Korea, via Tashkent, 12/06 1240.

The program was named Hebdomada Papae, Notitiae Vaticanae latine reddiate ("Papal Week. Vatican News in Latin"). The weekly news release will last five minutes. Then follow a talk show in Latin, as well as tips in Italian on the use of an ancient language. "We wanted the official language of the Catholic Church to be used in the news as well as in daily worship services," said program editor Andrea Tornielli. The transfer will be jointly issued by a team of newsmen, as well as the Vatican Department, which translates official documents into Latin. An Italian businessman who published a book of crossword puzzles in Latin, Luca Desiata noted that the Internet has helped to revive interest in this language, although more and more schools around the world are no longer teaching it. "Now there is Wikipedia in Latin (Vicipaedia Latina), about 40 Latin groups on Facebook around the world, and the Pope's Twitter in Latin has almost a million followers.

One of my directions is aviation monitoring. The video is short, so as not to bore you much, but the idea itself will be clear. On the computer "data are falling" received directly from the air, using ADS-B technology (1090 MHz). No internet, filter or latency. Everything that the dispatcher sees, I also see, with all the marks (height, speed, climb rate up / down, respondent data - including emergency ones, if any). On audio control and recording (118.00 - 137.00 MHz, AM). I tried all sorts of different methods, recordings on a computer, or on a voice recorder using VOR. ... that's all garbage. That level does not coincide, since airplanes at different distances, the recording machine will not work. The most reliable, turned out to be the old fashioned way :) It's easier for me to press the "pause" key on a regular deck, and turn on the recording (if something interesting happens) than to rely on "automatic solutions" that let you down exactly when you need :) Video - https://vk.com/radioreceiver?z=video-163779953_456239943%2F251256178068ceae9c%2Fpl_post_- 163779953_28315 (Igor K., Tallinn, Estonia / https://vk.com/radioreceiver) * New FM frequencies ------------------------ BR IFIC Nº 2897 / Special Section / GE84 / 277 / International Frequency Information Circular (Terrestrial Services) / ITU - Radiocommunication Bureau https://www.itu.int/en/ITU-R/terrestrial/brific/BRIFIC/SpecialSection/GE84/GE84_277.pdf (https://vk.com/vcfm2014) * Ukraine ------------ The United States renamed Kiev in an international database. The United States Geographic Names Division (a division of the United States Geological Survey) decided to rename the capital of Ukraine from Kiev to Kyiv in its database, the Ukrainian Embassy in the country reports on its Facebook page. The publication says that Ambassador Valery Chaly requested this. The Office clarifies that after the entry into force of the decision on June 17, the spelling of the name of the capital of Ukraine will also change outside the United States, since foreign organizations are guided by the US base. In particular, we are talking about international airports. In late May, the Ukrainian government approved a change in the spelling of Slavic and, in particular, Russian surnames. It was noted that the adopted document would partially return to use the language norms that existed in Ukraine at the beginning of the twentieth century. So, the adjective endings of Russian surnames are now necessary to be written in the first line (Bliy, Ostrovsky), and names with the suffixes -sk-, -tsk- should be written with a soft sign (Mayakovsky, Trubetskoy).

According to the vice- president of the media corporation Nenad Pejich, then the leadership of the radio considered that with the fall of the communist regime, Western values had won. "As we see today, in many countries this is not the case. It takes a lot of time to establish media freedom," Peiich said at the opening ceremony of the bureau. Earlier this year, Radio Liberty opened an office in Bucharest. Romania and Bulgaria joined the European Union in 2007. These countries often face corruption. Radio Free Europe / Radio Liberty is a non-profit media corporation that distributes information on various platforms (Internet, radio, television, video) to audiences in 22 countries in Eastern and Southeastern Europe, the Caucasus, Central and South Asia in 26 languages. The corporation as a private grantee is funded by funds provided by the US Congress through the trustee of US overseas broadcasting - the US Agency for Global Media. US officials, government and party members are prohibited from interfering with editorial issues. The general audience of RFE / RL is estimated at tens of millions of viewers, readers and listeners. The headquarters of the media corporation is located in Prague. svoboda.org (http://onair.ru/main/enews/view_msg/NMID__73838/) * SAQ Grimeton Transmission on June 30th, 2019.
