One of the contestants broke the TV in the office of the Penza radio "Express". In order to compete for a ton of cement, Penzens had to get on the air, talk to the presenters, and then come to the Express shopping mall to complete the tasks from the "test bag". "Someone tried to buy pink cement, someone collected signatures, someone wrote down appeals to friends. Today the last participant arrived at the studio, who got an empty sheet. By pure chance, the radio turned out to be a stick with the puck of the presenter Alexei Nechaev, which ultimately served as an idea for the test, "said Dmitry Linkov, editor-in-chief of Radio Express. He added that the task of the applicant for a ton of cement was to hit the toy man with a puck at a distance of three meters. "He missed a little and hit the TV, which everyone loved on the Express." As a result, in order not to shed tears and try to find the culprits, Alexey Nechaev threw him out of the balcony, "shared Dmitry Linkov. It is noted that this week, three participants will face new tests, and afterwards the presenters will name the owner of a ton of cement from Radio Express.

Yulia Golubeva noted that the prospects for the transition to "digital" are of interest and concern for the industry: "We are closely following how digital broadcasting is developing in the world. We are against the revolution, we are for evolution. The Russian Academy of Radio does not support the European experience with the disconnection of analog transmitters and the transition to digital broadcasting in the DAB + standard. " "We see the advantage of switching to" digital "not in the ability to place several audio streams in a dedicated frequency band (which allows this technology), but in broadcasting existing audio content in higher quality comparable to what streaming services and online broadcasters currently provide. We are ready to consider in addition to traditional analogue parallel broadcasting in the DRM + standard, at the same frequencies. A similar scheme is implemented in the USA (HD Radio), when both analog and digital signals are simultaneously transmitted on the same frequency, "said Yulia Golubeva. The commentary is published in the article "Radio Retains Loyalty to Analogue" on rspectr.com. Rspectr.com is a portal for communications, information technology and mass communications. Among the portal authors are managers and specialists of the Ministry of Communications and Roskomnadzor, leading companies in the industry, the radio frequency service, scientific organizations, and industry associations.

July 16 at 00:12 • Today was a very long day. It began early in the morning on the TV tower, and ended at 12:00 in the morning at the headquarters of the DRM + experimental zone in our office. Together with my colleagues from Digiton Systems, our partners in the international project team are from Triad TV, RFmondial, Fraunhofer, NXP semiconductors, RTRS, GPM Radio and GUT them. prof. M.A. Bonch-Bruevich. The launch of the DRM + Simulcast pilot area for analogue-digital broadcasting is entering the implementation phase. https://www.facebook.com/sergey.sokolov.710/posts/2392273814155612 Sergei Sokolov is located in the city of St. Petersburg. July 17 at 00:00 • The second day of the active phase of the DRM Simulcast digital-to-analog broadcasting project ends. Transferred to the transmitter is the Fraunhofer content server and the Omnia.9 sound processor. Provided remote access to all devices on the tower to change the parameters and modes of operation of the content server and transmitter. Successfully passed the RTRS test for power consumption of the transmitter. Started to work with all the power on the equivalent of the antenna. We have achieved the necessary parameters of the digital signal. Set up the transfer of images (slide show) and various textual information for Autoradio and Comedy. Agreed on the methodology of the experiment and measurements. We have taken one more step towards our goal: a full-fledged translation of Comedy Radio into a digital- analog mode of operation with two additional programs in digital. https://www.facebook.com/sergey.sokolov.710/posts/2394109683972025 Sergei Sokolov So, today 07/18/19 at 13:50 in St. Petersburg, at a frequency of 95.9 MHz, for the first time in Russia, a digital-analog radio station has been launched. Comedy Radio has switched to broadcasting from a transmitter that generates and broadcasts simultaneously an analog FM signal with a power of 3 kW, along with a 400-watt digital DRM. Despite such a difference in power, the digital signal coverage will not be inferior to the analogue coverage. And most likely - it will have a large reception area. Experimental broadcasting will last at least until the end of the year. During this time, we need to answer many questions, prepare recommendations, and work out the basis for creating a new regulatory framework that will allow launching digital-analogue radio stations, certifying transmitting and receiving equipment. For the first time in the world, DRM Simulcast broadcasting is carried out on such significant capacities, provided that a neighboring radio station is located at 400 kHz and using such a significant number of DRM services: radio station logos, issue of images of albums, textual transmission of news, weather forecast and much more. The first digital channel is a digital copy of Comedy Radio. In the second digital channel on the same frequency is transmitted to Autoradio. Next week we plan to add a third digital channel. It will be "Europe Plus". Video filmed on the way home. In the countryside. Yes, I was driving home and listening to digital radio. Now in Petersburg it is possible. It was an incredible day that we will remember with our entire project team. https://www.facebook.com/sergey.sokolov.710/videos/2397814946934832/ Photo chronicle of the fourth day of the project team on the launch of DRM Simulcast in St. Petersburg.

Electronic warfare --- From BBC Monitoring, July 5, 2019: Text of report by privately-owned Russian military news agency Interfax-AVN on 2 July A new electronic warfare (EW) battalion has been formed in the composition of Western Military District's 20th Combined-Arms Army, the Military District reported on Tuesday [2 July]. "A separate electronic warfare battalion has been formed and has become part of a Western Military District combined-arms army. The battalion is the first in the Russian Armed Forces to be equipped with the Palantin system, the Military District reported. The subunits of the new military unit are quartered in Voronezh Region, a Western Military District spokesman stated. "The separate EW battalion is designed to coordinate with the Army Headquarters military command and control agencies to create effective electronic defence and countermeasures to technical reconnaissance systems", the report said. The Palantin EW system, which recently began to arrive in the Russian Army, is capable of "blinding" the enemy in the shortwave and ultra-shortwave bands, and also deprives him of cellular communications. On 10 June, a Western Military District Press Service spokesman reported that they are creating a new tank regiment in the composition of 20th Combined-Arms Army. "The new military unit will be formed based upon the separate tank battalion with deployment location in Smolensk Region. The regiment, based upon its designation, will strengthen the motorised rifle division's combat capabilities", the Western Military District reported at that time. They consider 20th Army to be the largest combined-arms formation in the Russian Armed Forces. The 20th Army Headquarters is located in Voronezh. The troops of 20th Combined-Arms Army are deployed in Voronezh, Kursk, Smolensk, and Bryansk Regions.

Airplane "Douglas" route Ulan Bator - Novosibirsk - Sverdlovsk. Thick fog when landing, the pilot apparently confused the tower's lights with the landing signals of the airfield. When I realized that this was not an airfield, it was too late ... A sharp lapel did not help, and the wing of the plane touched one of the cables that held the mast. All 18 people died in the plane. The tower also suffered a lot. They decided to rebuild it - from wooden to metal, which pierced the sky on the outskirts of Novosibirsk in 1948. In the 90s, interest in radio began to fall, and there was little money left to maintain the equipment. In 2004, the equipment was removed, and the mast was suspended. All this time, she attracted both thrill-seekers and radio amateurs - connoisseurs, for whom the tower is a symbol of their other life. After 15 years, they decided to demolish the mast completely. Forever and ever. Leaving unprofitable and dangerous - near the village. To eliminate everything, they have thought over everything to the smallest detail - not an explosion, albeit a directional one, but an individual approach: they decided to cut off the pull cables in turn. One did not take into account - in those years they were built for centuries, and the mast stood only 61 years old. For several hours the tower did not want to fall. Broke down, but did not fall! Succumbed only after cutting the fifth cable. Now it is cut and sent to scrap.

CALENDAR - HISTORY OF DX-HOBBY AND RADIO = A page about the development of radio in the village. --- Valery Aleksandrovich Korolev recalls: "How has our daily life changed from a torch to a TV! Until 1949, kerosene lamps illuminated the houses. There were seven-linear, ten-linear and "Kid" lamps. Darkness! Soot! And during the war, some even had no kerosene, so they sat with the splinter in the evening. Electricity Somovka Vorotynsky district of Nizhny Novgorod region, where I lived learned in 1949. There is an expression: "They barked at the bulb!". So we can say this about us. Barked! They were afraid of electric current. Electricians were like gods. We, the young people, got used to it rather quickly, and the mother, until her death, was afraid of electricity. Now we are all electricians, everything is as it should be, but it was different." Radio. Until 1950, radios were extremely rare in rural areas. Young people, who studied in grades 9-10, tried to make detector receivers (with headphones!). I saw and listened to such a radio in 1948-49 in Fokine. Made Shisharin Alexander Vladimirovich (cousin). Curiosity! Progress! The miracle of radio engineering began to appear - radio receivers "Rodina", "Belarus", "Ukraine". But they were few. They cost relatively expensive. And the farmers were not. They had teachers and retired military men. In the 50s began to radio Somovka. We bought radio products. They were first round, large, black (tolevye). They were called "sieve". Already after this began to appear. A radio with a player appeared in the late 50s, but many were not affordable. Yes, and the gramophone! Who have they survived? To find! It was also a miracle of technology! Some fighters brought them from the "war". Slab records appeared in the stores, the gramophone needles were quickly blunt. If there is a party, phonograph - progress! The plates just listened. And then they became fashionable "dancing to the phonograph." Already later, they began to use amplifiers from players and shouted for a speaker-speaker ("bell") on the entire street almost to the whole Somovka! How we rural inhabitants of Russia lagged behind the West! After all, it was all there at the beginning of the century. And household appliances, like a washing machine, a vacuum cleaner, began to appear in the countryside only in the 60s. Television! Curiosity! The first one appeared in Somovka probably in Vladimir Mikhailovich Piryakov in 1966. Small black and white. Went to look at him like a curiosity. And already later - a washing machine (we bought the first one in 1969), a refrigerator (in 1971), a vacuum cleaner, etc. https://vk.com/radioreceiver (via Rus-DX 7 July via DXLD) SWLDXBulgaria News,

(Ivo Ivanov-BUL, hcdx via wwdxc BC-DX TopNews July 14) UZBEKISTAN On February 13, two antenna-mast structures with a height of 235 meters, located in the village of Solnechny, Zangiata District, Tashkent Region, were dismantled in a special way. After the suspension of radio broadcasting in the range of long and medium waves since 2002, these antenna mast structures have not been used. Before the start of work on dismantling the huge antennas, the population of the region was warned. All precautionary measures were also taken by involving the district hokimiyat, emergency, internal affairs and fire safety departments, as well as specialists from the ambulance services, electrical and gas supply. Now the territory where huge antennas were installed will be under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Defense. In their place will build a modern military camp. In the last century, broadcasting systems were mainly set to use long and medium waves, as well as partially short waves. A radio station near the village of Solnechny in the Zangiata district of the Tashkent region was at one time adapted for broadcasting just such waves. In the 80s of the last century, a radio communication system was built for the distribution of long waves between two masts with a height of 235 meters. The main reasons for the widespread development of broadcasting in the wave bands (frequency 148.5-408 kHz, wavelength 2020-735 meters) and medium (frequency 526.5-1606.5 kHz, wavelength 570-186 meters) are associated with the use of radio tubes and transistors radio transmitters of the time. It became possible to produce a large number of low-frequency radios operating in these bands. In addition, the radio waves that transmitted powerful broadcasting operating in these bands were spread over relatively large distances along the curved surface of the earth. However, no more than 10-20 radio stations could operate on the long wavelength. The quality of the analog signal was relatively low and with a high influence of the noise level. As a result, long-wave broadcasting worldwide is declining. Including broadcasting in Ukraine, Armenia, Belarus, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Moldova, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan was discontinued. In Uzbekistan, broadcasting in the range of long and medium waves has been suspended since 2002. (radiomaa / "open_dx"; via Anatoly Klepov-RUS, RUSdx #1037 via wwdxc BC-DX TopNews July 14) There was a broadcast, and even what!

FOREIGN RADIO STATIONS ============================ Argentina --------------- The Russian diaspora in Argentina plans to organize broadcasting in Russian. This is stated in the resolution adopted at the congress of the Coordinating Council of Young Russian Compatriots in Argentina. The document, which the organizers of the meeting announced on Sunday, states that the participants agreed to "find an opportunity to support the appearance of broadcasting in Russian where there are territorial organizations of compatriots." At the same time, representatives of the diaspora noted that this could be both traditional broadcasting and radio on the Internet. The congress participants are also going to ask the Government Commission on the Affairs of Compatriots Abroad to develop a program for organizing trips to Russia "for active members of the diaspora who do not speak Russian." According to the authors of the initiative, familiarity with the historic homeland should push them to learn the language. As the chairman of the congress Anastasia Turska noted, its participants, among whom were representatives of the Russian diaspora from different cities of Argentina, also discussed plans for 2020. "The most important thing next year is the 75th anniversary of the Victory, and we want to hold a number of events," she added. According to the Coordination Council, about 300 thousand Russian compatriots live in Argentina. tass.ru (http://onair.ru/main/enews/view_msg/NMID__74196/) (https://www.radioportal.ru/news/radio/v-argentine-mozhet-poyavitsya-radioveshchanie-na-russkom-yazyke) Poland ------------ New site "Radio Poland" Polskie Radio has updated the site. It turned out more compact, made in the range of the flag of the Republic of Poland. On the updated web resource, you can now listen to the sound broadcasts. Of the new ones, there is a section called "Learn Polish", which seems to be dedicated to the Polish language for foreigners. Unfortunately, the developers did not bother to change the information in the "How to listen to us" section. The text that Radio Poland can be received at a frequency of 1395 kHz is misleading to many listeners, broadcasting on it stopped a long time ago. However, to remove the mention of this frequency from the information from the listeners, the technical services of the radio station do not react.

(DE) Romania ------------- Interradio Romania spoke about QSL confirmations. In the next issue of the "Club DX" column, the presenter Tatyana Codreanu answered my question about the further confirmation of reports on listening to "Interradio Romania". It so happened that since July 2018, specifically I have not received a single verification letter (postcard) from Bucharest, although quite often I have sent reports in the past year. Apparently this situation has developed in most radio amateurs. "Interradio Romania" did not decide to refuse to confirm acceptance of QSL-cards. The delays occurred last year and this year solely due to the transfer of the Romanian public radio to state funding and the approval of the state budget very late. At the management level of Interradio Romania, there is currently no change in the operation of our radio station. For our editorial board and our leadership, the response from our listeners is important, because it demonstrates the interest of listeners from the Russian-speaking space in broadcasting our radio. I want to thank all the listeners who sent us reports about the reception all this time. They will be rewarded with symbolic gifts for their patience. I want to assure all our friends that if there are changes in the work of our radio station, our listeners will learn about it from us, the editors of Interradio Romania, because the opinion of our listeners and their attitude to our radio is very important for us, " Tatiana Codreanu. In 2019, the Interradio Romania series of QSL cards is dedicated to historical folk costumes and peasant ornaments of the late XIX - early XX centuries of the historic Romanian region of Banat.

"The board is now confused, they announced the mediation process, that is, a specialist will be brought in from the budget who will listen to us, then listen to them, and try to negotiate. As if we can't talk directly. The problem in any case is not solved, nothing happens. Now these are waves on the water, we hope that there will be something more serious, "said Semenova. She noted that the crisis in the public media received such a wide response that the President of Latvia joined in his decision. "The reaction was, I was even pleasantly surprised that our cry for help was not unheard. There were people who supported us, including President Levits, who just yesterday stressed that the situation is really serious. He will hold a series of meetings with politicians and try to convince them to increase funding, "said Semenova. In turn, Marite Tukisha, member of the Latvian Radio Management Board for Financial Management, said in a conversation with Baltkom that the mediator will help the public media to get out of the current situation as soon as possible. However, according to Tukishi, the problems of Latvian radio are not limited to this. "We have already spoken to each other several times, but still we could not find a common ... not so much a language, but some kind of solution. And since this question is no longer limited to our radio - the whole society speaks about it, we decided that we need a person who will lead this process. But there are other issues - for example, regarding our employees. We can not find people and can not compete with other salaries in the market. In connection with this, this season we will have to reduce our content, "said Tukisha. We will remind, earlier the news service of the Latvian radio in an open letter stated that it expresses no confidence in its rule and asks him to leave or dismiss. The chairman of the board of the Latvian Radio, Unla Klapkalne, during today's press conference stated that despite the current situation, the radio management sees no reason for her resignation. Also, the Board of Latvian Radio called on state leaders to urgently allocate additional funds from the state budget for the salaries of employees. mixnews.lv (http://onair.ru/main/enews/view_msg/NMID__74245/) * Malta will install liquid-cooled transmitters to cover the country with digital broadcasting ------------------------------------------ The installation of new transmitters should bring Malta closer to ensuring the possibility of receiving digital broadcasting programs in the DAB + standard on the premises throughout the country. Digi B Network, the operator of DAB + multiplexes in Malta, is upgrading its signal transmission network by installing new liquid-cooled transmitters. Reports the edition about Malta Today. Liquid cooling will give devices the opportunity to work with more power while reducing the thermal load. This increases the service life and reliability of the transmitters, and an increase in power will significantly improve coverage. "The positive feedback from listeners impresses us, and therefore we strive to solve the problem of receiving digital radio programs in certain areas of the country as soon as possible, responding to the request of the audience. The installation of these transmitters will bring us closer to ensuring full coverage of the islands of the Maltese archipelago, which will allow us to receive digital radio in our homes without any problems, "says Sergio D'Amico, managing director of Digi B Network. - We launched the First platform, working in the DAB + standard, and also presented the first DAB + car radio on the market. And now it's time to make Malta a country with 100% the ability to receive digital radio programs on the premises. This is not such an easy task, but we strive to translate our plans into reality by demonstrating one of the main advantages of DAB over FM. " Digi B Network is the operator of the DAB platform in Malta. In 2008, it launched the world's first DAB + terrestrial digital broadcasting platform in the world, and in 2010 developed the first car stereo compatible with this standard, - Bluestate RA557. The company is currently working with automakers to improve the usability of car stereos. Recall that by the end of this year, Serbia plans to translate broadcasting into a figure.
