The House of Radio can be given to the orchestra of Theodor Currentzis and a restaurant. -------------------------------------------------- -------- Deputies of the city parliament have already turned for clarification to the interim governor of St. Petersburg. A rather loud scandal erupts around the St. Petersburg House of Radio on Italianskaya street. Having learned that they want to give the building to host the orchestra of the conductor Theodor Kurtensis, as well as the restaurant, the deputy of the Legislature Boris Vishnevsky wrote a letter to the head of the Northern capital. - St. Petersburg authorities are trying to resettle the famous House of Radio in Italian and give it to the orchestra of Theodore Currentzis. At the same time, they stubbornly say that only one floor will be given to the conductor, and the rest should be occupied by restaurants and a hotel, the parliamentarian writes in his Facebook, The fact that something was wrong with the Radio House, earlier, was reported by the children's ombudsman Svetlana Agapitova. According to her, the children's choir, the Governor's orchestra and Marina Landa's theater have already been evicted from the historic building. And now under threat are the unique archives and museum of the besieged radio. I must say that the defenders of the House of Radio are especially indignant at the fact that even during the blockade, the broadcasting of the Leningrad radio station was not interrupted for a day, and now this page of history may disappear completely.

The level of interference from the engine ignition system seriously affects the sensitivity of the station, so it is advisable to position the antenna as far as possible from the engine, and power the station through a filter or directly from the battery. Ensure that the noise level of the receiver with the antenna turned off does not change after turning on the engine. This will mean that interference does not penetrate the power circuits. Most modern automotive stations use power filters and do not require additional filtering. In this case, you can connect the station to the side of the car network at any convenient point. Try not to make the wire to the car body particularly long and thin ...

How and why the Sport FM was closed. -------------------------------------------------- -------------- The only sports radio station in Russia, Sport FM, has been broadcasting for almost 13 years - at first it was Radio Sport, which was reformatted to Sport FM for the Sochi Olympics. However, exactly a year ago, on August 15, 2018, the station in its former form did not disappear - the Studio 21 team occupied its frequency, offering the listener "a rapper and a bit of sports". The listeners tried with the help of petitions to return the beloved "Sport" with weekly pearls from Alexander Bubnov and the epic airs of Vasily Utkin, moreover, the Minister of Sports of the Russian Federation Pavel Kolobkov several times spoke about the need to restore sports broadcasting in the country. However, a year later, things did not move off the ground. Realnoe Vremya, along with former station host Alexander Kuzmak, recalls "how Sport FM was killed, and talks about why you should not wait for its revival in the near future ...

(http://onair.ru/main/enews/view_msg/NMID__74551/) * Gazprom Media and EMG launched their radio stations simultaneously in two formats: analog FM and digital DRM. -------------------------------------------------- ------------- In St. Petersburg, an experiment has begun on the introduction of digital broadcasting on Comedy Radio, Autoradio and Europa Plus. It will bring new services for listeners, especially when traveling by car, electronics manufacturers are sure. The test results have not yet been impressed by media holdings, which warned of significant costs for introducing new technology across the country. The prospects for digital radio in Russia are also doubted by the Ministry of Communications. The first radio station appeared in Russia, which broadcasts simultaneously in analog and digital formats, a representative of the Russian Broadcasting Network (RTRS) told Kommersant. According to him, in July in St. Petersburg, the broadcast of the Comedy Radio of Gazprom Media Holding began simultaneously in two formats: analog FM and digital DRM (Digital Radio Mondiale). This is an experiment that will last at least until the end of the year, they say in RTRS. After installing the DRM transmitter, a digital copy of the station is added to the Comedy Radio FM signal at a frequency of 95.7 MHz, explain in RTRS. This, in particular, allows, along with the main signal, to additionally transmit "related text information, logos of radio stations and other images". In testing RTRS, two more radio stations are participating, which also have a digital signal - Autoradio Gazprom-Media and Europa Plus of the European Media Group (EMG), the company noted. The DRM tests on radio stations are more correctly called scientific work as part of the study of this standard, says Gazprom Media Radio CEO Yuri Kostin. "It is too early to speak about the final conclusions, but while DRM is not impressive in terms of its performance, we still do not see any clear advantages for DRM over FM. Digital radio signal quality, like an HDTV, may be better in theory, but in terms of power, coverage and financial performance, the FM standard is still the best standard for radio, "he argues. EMG participates in this experiment, but it's too early to speak about intermediate results, says EMG CEO Roman Emelyanov: "Switching to the" figure "for a country as large as Russia is a rather expensive process. It's not a fact that the advantages of implementation, the ability of our students to use additional services will cover the significant costs that will be required to implement this project. " Market players have repeatedly stated that they do not support the introduction of any digital standard without the ability to preserve analog broadcasting, as it means a multiple increase in the number of players amid declining advertising revenue. The idea of creating a digital radio in Russia does not inspire profile officials. "I don't think that digital terrestrial radio has any prospects in Russia," said Alexey Volin, deputy head of the Ministry of Telecom and Mass Communications. In his opinion, it is not worth investing in any of the existing standards, "unless, of course, it is a question of management personally making money on capital costs." However, on July 25, the State Commission on Radio Frequencies allowed the development of digital radio in Russia based on RAVIS technology ("Real-Time Audiovisual Information System"). It is being developed by a company of relatives of former Deputy Prime Minister Arkady Dvorkovich, Kommersant wrote on August 6. DRM as a standard for digital broadcasting is a step forward in the modernization of broadcasting, and its implementation can only be welcomed, the interlocutor of Kommersant does not agree in one of the major equipment manufacturers. In his opinion, car radios are a promising market. "As you know, now only Autoradio uses the same FM frequency in all subjects of the federation, all other radio stations use different frequency ratings, and when moving from one subject to another, you have to search for a radio station manually," the source reminds. A digital receiver is able to automatically search for a favorite radio station anywhere in Russia, and also when listening to the border of the subject, ensure continuous listening to your favorite radio station, which truckers and road travelers will appreciate. "Although the standard was developed from the beginning of the 2000s, the introduction in the world began about two to three years ago, and it takes place in all countries of the European Union, India, South Africa, and Great Britain. Therefore, Russia is here at the forefront and in a very decent company, "concludes an interlocutor of Kommersant.

A digital copy of the station was added to the FM signal at a frequency of 95.7 MHz. Additional digital channels became available. To generate and broadcast this analog-to-digital signal, one transmitter of Russian manufacture is used. The power of the analog signal is 3 kW, digital - 400 watts. A digital signal is generated with 16-QAM modulation and protection level PL1. This provides a total usable speed of the digital stream of 122.4 kbit / s and allows you to broadcast a digital copy of Comedy Radio with a bit rate of 33 kbit / s and two more radio stations in digital format. The second radio station is Autoradio with a digital stream speed of 43 kbit / s. The third radio station is Europa Plus with a bit rate of 20 kbps. Additionally, the signal transmits related textual information, logos of radio stations and other images. The DRM system uses the xHE-AAC audio data compression algorithm, the most efficient codec for modern digital broadcasting systems. Experimental broadcasting in DRM Simulcast mode is part of the research work (R&D) "Building an experimental analog-to-digital broadcasting zone DRM + / VHF FM in the range 87.5-108.0 MHz". The contractor is a Russian system integrator, manufacturer of broadcast equipment and software developer, Digital Systems. The experiment will last at least until the end of the year.

Now, a third has been added to the selection of two not-so-good standards. In the Russian Federation there is a special body dealing with the distribution of the available radio range between those who want to use it. The investment policy of companies and the availability of various wireless communication and broadcasting services to the population largely depend on its decisions. Since the mid-zero years, there has been a sluggish preparation for the transition to digital radio and television broadcasting.

Tskhinval has been without broadcasting for several days, as the transmitter broadcasting the state radio IR FM has failed. This was reported by the South Ossetian news agency Res. According to Alan Tskhovrebov, Director of Radio IR FM, the signal completely stopped. But problems with the transmitter have been noticed for a long time. For some time, radio listeners complained that the signal was interrupted by another radio station. In this regard, the President of South Ossetia instructed the Committee on Communications and Mass Media to purchase a transmitter in the near future and install it. "We are waiting for a new transmitter and then we will start broadcasting in the same volume and in better quality," Tskhovrebov emphasized. However, replacing one worn-out transmitter will not solve the problem of providing broadcasting throughout the republic. All transmitters were installed in 2008 and are already outdated. The 102.3 FM wave, on which the IR radio broadcasts, is received only in Tskhinval. To ensure high-quality broadcasting in South Ossetia, it is necessary to purchase several transmitters, and, as indicated by Res, this issue is also being resolved. regnum.ru (http://onair.ru/main/enews/view_msg/NMID__74544/) PARTNER CHANNELS AND INTERNET ============== SHORTWAVE BULLETIN Issue no. 1930, August 11, 2019 edited by Thomas Nilsson, Sweden ----------------------------------------------- Log 4010.23 Aug5 1745 Birinchi R, Krasnaya Rechka Kyrgyz talk Whisteling tone in LSB (AP-DNK) Contributors to the log: AP-DNK, Anker Petersen, Skovlunde, Denmark Station news KYRGYZSTAN. 5130 kHz.

This was reported to me by an employee of the station that I met today at the Radio House on Pyatnitskaya. "For us, this is a tragedy. Many in Moscow and Moscow region listened to us on medium waves," she said, answering my question about the station's possible return to medium waves. At the end of April, it became known that the broadcasting from Kurkino (Moscow region) would cease on May 1. This radio center gave life to three stations at once on medium waves: Narodnoe Radio and the Radonezh radio station broadcasting at a frequency of 612 kHz and the World Radio Network (WRN Russia) at a frequency of 738 kHz. https://kolkeradio.blogspot.com/2019/07/blog-post_31.html (via Rus-DX 4 Aug via DXLD) ** RUSSIA. FAS MAY FINE VGTRK FOR ADVERTISING "TONGUE TWISTER" ON THE RADIO FAS Russia may fine OOO Profi-Communications and VGTRK in the amount of 100 to 500 thousand rubles. for a "tongue twister" instead of advertising, reported on the website of the service. The Office has already issued instructions for the elimination of offenses. An advertisement for the residential complex was broadcast on Vesti FM radio station in December 2018. So, the audio clip began with the phrase: "What should I give my family for the New Year if you already gave it everything? Give her a promenade, and a park, and stunning views from the windows. <...> Call 688 ...! ", And then within a few seconds information was announced about the project declaration and the name of the developer. However, due to the fact that the pronunciation speed was too high, the department considered this a violation of the Law on Advertising. "A tongue twister in advertising on the radio is the same as a small print in advertising on TV," said Andrei Kashevarov, deputy head of the FAS Russia. The FAS handed over all the necessary materials to initiate a case of an administrative violation of the advertiser LLC Profi-Communications and the advertising distributor of VGTRK. Earlier, the agency discovered an "unacceptable" alcohol advertisement in the Perekrestok and Alphabet of Taste stores.

UKRAINE PLANS GLOBAL RUSSIAN-LANGUAGE TV CHANNEL According to the deputy head of the president's office in Ukraine, the country will launch a global Russian-language TV channel to "strengthen the state's positions in the information struggle." "We have developed a plan to launch a Ukrainian Russian-language TV channel to cover the Russian-speaking population in the whole world," Kyrylo Tymoshenko said. He added that the team of President Volodymyr Zelensky wants it to be a state-run TV channel. "However, we are negotiating with private TV channels to transfer their rights to use their best content," Tymoshenko said. Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova was dismissive of the plans. "How could one arrive at this idea: Allocating money to 'broadcast' to the Russian-speaking audience across the world when the Russian language is only permitted in your country for private conversations and religious ceremonies. The madness of what is happening is so great that this story more resembles some biblical fable that the modern-day situation," she wrote on Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/maria.zakharova.167/posts/10220185949588638 [in Russian +738+ comments] (AIB Media Industry Briefing | August 2019 via DXLD) PUBLICATIONS ++++++++++++ ACCESS TO A-19 SW SCHEDULES via: http://www.worldofradio.com PRYIOM.ORG http://priyom.org Priyom.org is an international group of radio enthusiasts who came together during 2010 when activity from the station known as "UVB-76" increased.

If the national broadcaster chooses such a path, then "All India radio "(All India Radio, AIR foreign broadcasting service) will have to stop all global shortwave broadcasts eighty years after the start of international broadcasting in 1939. AIR resists this step, claiming that it will limit its global reach. 46 kV are in operation transmitters that work both domestically and abroad. 28 of these transmitters are used only for external services. With the exception of the three transmitters that have recently been installed, all others must be turned off next six months. Overseas broadcasts from India are broadcast to 150 countries in 13 Indian dialects and 15 foreign languages. Prasar Bharati CEO Shashi Shekhar Wempati denies that stopping broadcasting on HF will affect the global reach of foreign listeners. He said: "In future, the world the AIR service will be primarily a digital service that will take advantage of medium-wave broadcasting capabilities domestically. We will also explore the possibility of hiring airtime on transmitters outside of India, where necessary. "An example is China, which has recently started buying airtime on Nepalese radio channels for its programs: it is argued that India can also follow this example soon. The following are arguments that there is no way to assess the real size of the audience who tuned in to broadcasting from India, and these programs do not generate income (do you feel the point of view of modern managers?). Until now, India was one of the largest broadcasters in both medium and short waves, as well as one of the most advanced DRM transmitters in operation, although, according to the latest data, it is now gradually decreasing the number of DRM broadcasts, and China is ahead of it. look if this promotion takes place, will show time.

We hope you enjoy this new QSL card and we look forward to receiving your reception reports through our automated reception report system at http://techwebrfaorg, by email to qslrfa.org, or by snail mail. You are receiving this because you have expressed interest in Radio Free Asia's QSL cards. Please let us know if you prefer to be removed from our distribution list. Best wishes and 73s. AJ Andrew "A.J" Janitschek Radio Free Asia - Radio Free Asia (RFA) announces its 23rd anniversary QSL. Bringing free press to closed societies, RFA's first broadcast was in Mandarin on September 29, 1996 at 2100 UTC. RFA is a private, nonprofit corporation broadcasting news and information to listeners in Asian countries where full, accurate, and timely news reports are unavailable. Acting as a substitute for indigenous free media, RFA concentrates coverage on events occurring in and/or affecting Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, North Korea, the People's Republic of China, and Vietnam. In some Asian cultures, bamboo represents integrity, elegance, modesty and loyalty. This is RFA's 71st QSL and is used to confirm all valid RFA reception reports from September - December 2019. The design was created by RFA's Brian Powell. Created by Congress in 1994 and incorporated in 1996, RFA broadcasts in Burmese, Cantonese, Khmer, Korean to North Korea, Lao, Mandarin Chinese, Vietnamese, Tibetan (including Uke, Amdo, and Kham dialects), and Uyghur. RFA strives for accuracy, balance, and fairness in our editorial content. As a 'surrogate' broadcaster, RFA provides news and commentary specific to each of our target countries, acting as the free press these countries lack. RFA broadcasts only in local languages and dialects, and most of our broadcasts comprise news of specific local interest. More information about RFA, including our current broadcast frequency schedule, is always available at www.rfa.org. RFA encourages listeners to submit reception reports. Reception reports are valuable to RFA as they help us evaluate the signal strength and quality of our transmissions. RFA confirms all accurate reception reports by mailing a QSL card to the listener. RFA welcomes all reception report submissions at http://techweb.rfa.org (follow the QSL REPORTS link) not only from DX'ers, but also from our general listening audience.
