Pestovo. --------------------------------------------- In another district of the Novgorod region came the radio station Europe Plus. July 22, in accordance with the plans for the development of regional broadcasting in the Novgorod region at a frequency of 103.2 MHz, the Novgorod branch of RTRS began broadcasting the radio program Europe Plus. The signal from the repeater is available 21 thousand residents of Pestovsky district. Transmitter power - 1000 watts. "Europe Plus" became the 2nd radio station, which is received in the city of Pestovo and its surroundings. Previously, only the radio program "Radio Russia" was available to the pestovchan. The "Europe Plus" programs are already broadcast in three cities of the region: Veliky Novgorod, Borovichi and Pestovo. In the area of 372 thousand people have the opportunity to listen to programs on the waves of "Europe Plus".

Dvorkovich's relatives will be launched in Russia -------------------------------------------------- ----------------- The state commission on radio frequencies is preparing to allocate frequencies in the VHF band for the operation of the RAVIS broadcasting technology. The technology has been developed by relatives of former Deputy Prime Minister Arkady Dvorkovich and will compete with two international standards for digital radio, already approved for work in Russia. The Russian technology of digital broadcasting gets a start in life The State Commission for Radio Frequencies (SCRF) at a meeting on July 25, 2019 should consider the allocation of frequencies for digital radio broadcasting technology RAVIS. This follows from the draft decision of the commission available to CNews. For these RAVIS, it is planned to allocate frequencies to the indefinite circle of persons in the ranges of 65.8-74 MHz and 87.5-108 MHz. These frequencies belong, respectively, to the VHF-I and VHF-II bands. The VHF-II band is also called the FM band. What is RAVIS, and what possibilities does this technology have? RAVIS technology allows transmitting more than 10 CD-quality stereo programs or a video program with several sound channels in one 250 kHz channel. It is possible to organize broadcasting on narrower channels - 200 kHz and 100 kHz - with less bandwidth and fewer programs. The data transfer rate ranges from 80 Kbps to 900 Kbps. RAVIS can work with fixed, portable and car receivers. Reception can be carried out on standard whip antennas in moving vehicles in urban conditions with dense buildings, multipath and the absence of direct sight of the transmitter antenna, as well as in areas with difficult terrain, in mountainous areas and in dense forests. Due to the ability to transmit video, RAVIS can be used to organize regional digital TV multiplexes. The most promising for use in the RAVIS system are He-AAC and xHE-AAC audio coders (including those with support for multi-channel audio in 5.1 format) and H.264 / AVC and H.265 / HEVC video encoders. The HE-AAC encoder allows streaming high-quality stereo sound in the 64-280 kbps stream, and the H.264 / AVC encoder provides video transmission at 200-900 kbps. In addition to audio and video, RAVIS can also transmit text messages; electronic program guide; statistical images and slide shows; emergency alerts with enhanced message reliability; road lighting; weather forecast; broadcast and address data transfer, etc. As a subscriber equipment, it is planned to use microcomputers with connected USB modules to receive the RAVIS signal. Also via Wi-Fi it is possible to transmit a signal from receivers to smartphones and tablets. The developer of the RAVIS technology is the company Sad-Com, created by digital video information systems specialists - Viktor Dvorkovich and his son Alexander. Viktor Dvorkovich is the uncle of former Deputy Prime Minister Arkady Dvorkovich. How RAVIS was tested and why the Ministry of Emergency Situations liked the technology. In 2010, the RAVIS technology was tested in Moscow and in Sochi. In 2015, the SCRF again identified frequencies for testing this technology in the republics of Tatarstan and Udmurtia. According to materials for the GRCC meeting, during testing in the Republic of Tatarstan, the local Ministry of Emergency Situations (MES) and the police station evaluated the capabilities of RAVIS as an additional wireless means of mass notification of civil defense and emergency situations: the corresponding funds were installed in shopping centers, cinemas, medical institutions, industrial enterprises and other facilities of the capital of the Republic of Kazan. The frequencies that are planned to be allocated for the RAVIS technology are now used for analogue VHF broadcasting and analogue TV broadcasting in the D / SECAM standard (4 and 5 television broadcasting channels). The report of the state-owned radio research institute (NIIR), devoted to testing RAVIS, states that the level of interference from transmitters working on this technology for VHF and TV broadcasting does not exceed the level of interference from existing VHF transmitters. At the same time, the VHF-I range is more promising for the implementation of the RAVIS technology. Broadcasting from it has long been translated into the FM- band, and there is no television broadcasting in it. Chance for the Russian industry Small-scale production of receiving equipment for the RAVIS technology is ready to deal with the Sarapulsky Radio Plant (Udmurtia Republic). The production of transmission equipment is envisaged in the framework of cooperation between the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (MFTI) and NPP Triada-TV (Novosibirsk). The Omsk Scientific Research Institute of Instrument Making also showed interest in the technology: the company's experience in developing silicon electronics can reduce the cost of production of RAVIS receivers by 10 times, the materials for the GKRCh meeting said. Thus, as they add to NIIR, the allocation of frequencies in Russia for the RAVIS technology will enable the domestic radio industry to take part in the creation of competitive equipment that can be quoted on the global and domestic markets. NIIR considers it expedient to envisage the development and mass production by the domestic industry of a software-defined VLSI (ultra-large integrated circuit) for decoding signals of both existing and future sound and multimedia broadcasting systems operating with wideband digital signals with a spectrum not wider than 2 MHz. The Russian standard will compete with two international Recall that in 2018 the SCRF already allocated frequencies for digital broadcasting in two foreign standards. For the DRM + standard, frequencies were allocated in the VHF-I and VHF-II ranges - that is, in the same ranges as planned for RAVIS. And in the range of VHF- III - 174-230 MHz - frequencies were allocated for the DAB + technology. At the same time, NIIR points to the negative experience of European countries, where in an attempt to maximize the number of programs with a limited number of multiplexes, broadcasters have to compromise on the use of low bit rates per program, which leads to a decrease in the competitiveness of digital broadcasting compared to other means of delivery due to the relatively poor quality of sound programs. At the same time, in the RAVIS system there are no restrictions on the maximum permissible transmission rate in the sound channel, inherent to foreign digital broadcasting systems DRM + and DAB +. This, as emphasized by NIIR, allows us to bring high-quality digital sound broadcasting to the market.

The stronger Silk Road signal covers large portions of six countries - the core area comprising Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan. The five languages broadcast over the transmitter are spoken by people groups mostly classified as unreached by the gospel. In addition to the in-depth study of Thru the Bible and the Scripture readings and explanations of Radio Bible Project, Silk Road broadcasts include programs such as House Church, Power in Persecution and The Christian Home. Another powerful program is The Way of Righteousness, which has been highly effective at introducing the gospel to Muslim listeners from the perspective of their own faith. Installation of the transmitter was completed this spring after more than 1,700 supporters of TWR provided the $593,000 cost of the project.

RUSSIA STUDIES DRM IN THE FM BAND Radio World By Marguerite Clark June 27, 2019 https://www.radioworld.com/tech-and-gear/digital-radio/russia-studies-drm-in-the-fm-band Russia will begin testing the Digital Radio Mondiale digital radio standard in the FM Band in July in St. Petersburg. Russian firms Digiton and Triada TV are working with Fraunhofer IIS, RFmondial, chipmaker NXP and others to carry out the pilot. The organizers will install a DRM-capable transmitter mid-July and begin regular simulcast broadcasts (DRM for FM) immediately after site acceptance checks are complete. The transmitter will reportedly be on air for six months and have an analog transmitting power of 5 kW and a digital output power of 800 W. This round of tests marks the next step in the country's DRM experimentation and one which some consider to be the last phase before full adoption. In addition to featuring simulcast broadcasts, the new tests will also use a higher transmission power than the previous DRM trials in Russia, which took place in 2014 and 2015. DRM says the main purpose of this latest test is to "demonstrate the opportunities and advantages public and private broadcasters can derive from implementing the standard, as well as to showcase digital radio's benefits for listeners." (via Mike Terry, July 17, WOR iog via DXLD) If that happen, it can no longer be called the FM band, since, well, it will not be frequency modulation (gh, DXLD) ** RUSSIA.

SIO 434 (Carlie Forsythe, Madison WI, July 13, odxa iog via DXLD) via WRMI ** 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. http://www.mitc.uz/ru/news/786 (radiomaa / "open_dx")(via Rus-DX 14 July via DXLD) There was a broadcast, and even what!

"When the program was being prepared for release, we learned that at the same time, 45 years ago, Joseph Brodsky's compilation Part of Speech was published, the radio host quotes the website." Part of speech is not only a morphological category. " Part of the speech "for us, releasing the program, sounds wider: this is a subject for conversation with an interesting interlocutor, and the object of study, and focus, angle, point of view." The main goal of the program is to draw the attention of listeners, divorced from the natural language environment, to the importance of understanding the problem of high-quality Russian speech in its formation, maintenance, preservation. Svetlana emphasizes that people who are fluent in Russian become the guests of the broadcast: philologists, writers, teachers, translators, journalists ... Listeners can ask questions during live broadcasts, calling within an hour, can send a text message to a special phone in the studio or in the comments to the post on Facebook.

The state LR2 has only 11 people. Eight of them work live, and their range of duties is very wide. A system has been formed on the radio station whereby employees receive part of their salaries from the profits of public broadcasting, because state financing is not enough. A year ago, profits were ceased to be included in the salaries of workers, while state financing remained the same. The LR2 team is on the verge of burning out - people are alarmed by the fact that their radio doesn't even have their own manager, and his duties are performed by the head of LR5. They fear a planned merger of LR2 with LR5. Even after a general meeting with the board, the solution of the problems was not found. An open letter from the management of the four programs of Latvijas Radio - Daigi Mazversite, Baiba Palkavniece, Viestura Sprogisa and Velgi Vitola-Amantova - was sent to the top state officials, the Seimas, the responsible ministers, the National Electronic Media Council (NEPLP) and the Board of Latvijas Radio. The letter emphasizes that LR2 is the most demanded among listeners, but the smallest in terms of staff, and their work is paid the worst. The collective ensures the broadcasting from 6:40 am to 7 pm on weekdays and at 8 am to 6 pm on weekends. The rest of the broadcast is given to music. The problems of LR2 are deeply rooted: initially the structure of its finances and the wages of radio journalists were shaped differently than other Latvijas Radio channels. Starting in 1995 with a broadcast from 16:00 to 24:00, the airtime increased to around the clock, but the increase in budget funds did not happen proportionally. Additional payments to employees and payment for the work of freelance writers were provided by the profits earned by the radio. In contrast to colleagues from other radio stations, journalists received lower salaries on LR2, and "surcharges" (in fact, part of the salary, which the insufficient budget did not allow) made up a very tangible part of their earnings. The question of the proportionality of the base salaries to the salaries of the remaining Latvijas Radio channels has not been settled so far, although this was promised by the current LR board and the previous one, the authors of the letter note. The last straw was the deprivation a year ago of LR2 of that part of the funding that the team received from the profits of the radio. This dramatically narrowed the possibilities for creating content. For fair pay, radio journalists on LR2 will still not audit employees' duties. The so-called program managers do not just broadcast programs, but create them themselves: select and mark up the musical material, intermediate signals by the hour, plan the placement of additional scenes, including commercial ones, live on the air at the console - which means that their work responsibilities are cardinally different from the workload of the staff of the remaining channels of Latvijas Radio. Each employee of LR2 is a producer, music editor, cameraman, journalist interviewing guests in the studio. Many have mastered sound editing, creating jingles, original programs, etc. On the other channels of Latvijas Radio, the teams work according to the command principle, the broadcasts are in tandem with the operator (sometimes several), the producer, the music editor. Many of them do not work on the air at all, they create only separate programs in the recording. Others hold hourly discussions live. And only on LR2 the employee must be a "universal soldier," the letter's authors point out. Despite the fact that listeners' rating of the "second button" increased from 4% in 1998 to 24% in 2005, the radio station employees never felt it on their remuneration for work or in some other form received thanks and praise from side of the board of Latvijas Radio. Of course, it deprives of motivation and enthusiasm - in the current situation, journalists are forced to limit themselves to scrolling Latvian music on the air, announcing exact time and small patches of headings in the morning, reading congratulations to listeners and the like, indicated in the letter. Compensation to journalists, replacing the absent colleagues, has been cut down to 80% - which is unfair, because they have to provide all the same 100% of the air. Constant stress, chronic underpayments for recycling lead employees to physical and emotional exhaustion. The fact that after Armin Ronis left the post of director, no competition was announced for finding a new manager is also a signal that the board is unwilling to solve LR2 problems, the team said. The duties of the head of the second channel are still performed by the head of LR5, Ilze Milzarai, who will receive a surcharge of 30% of the director's salary. But the work of LR2 in its specificity is very different from the activities of LR5. The motto of the second channel is "Songs in the native language", and the fact that only Latvian songs are on the air is unique by the standards of Europe, the employees emphasize. The prospect of a merger with LR5, in their estimation, means the death of this unique format and the radio station itself. As Rus.lsm.lv already reported, after numerous meetings with the mediators and the Board of Latvijas radio, Latvijas Radio News Service journalists did not agree to start the mediation process. The news service argued that mediation would not solve significant problems, that is, it would not help prevent political influence on the board of Latvijas Radio. The news service of Latvijas Radio on July 10, in an open letter, stated that it expresses no confidence in the government and asks him to quit or leave. With this, according to the absolute majority of service staff. In turn, the board held a press conference to talk about the critical situation in the public media. The President of the Latvian Association of Journalists, Art Giga, commenting on the situation at Latvijas Radio, said that the politicians obviously have no quick solutions to overcome the crisis. So far all that the government has done is to allow Latvijas Radio not to pay dividends and save 85%, or 138,234 euros, of last year's profits on the development of technology and infrastructure of the building. On the agenda of the Cabinet of Ministers discussion of the situation in the collective Latvijas Radio has not yet got. The head of the National Electronic Media Council (NESMI), Dace Kezbere, in an interview with LR, said: "Reform of public media should be viewed as one whole - the border between Latvian Radio and Latvian TV cannot be drawn. According to her assessment, both the mass media are underfinanced. lsm.lv (http://onair.ru/main/enews/view_msg/NMID__74331/) 73!
