Radio of Moscow broadcasts on the third button - Lesha Popov: Andrey, Since the third channel of the broadcasting network (in Moscow - Radio of Moscow) in Russia and the former USSR operates at a frequency of 120 kHz, these broadcasts can be listened to on the air broadcasting receiver with a long-wave band having this frequency. For example, Degen DE-1103, Tecsun PL-660, etc. At the same time, connecting to a radio network and even having a radio outlet at home is not necessary, since the main radio network emits quite strong pickups. Although the reception is not guaranteed, and the sound quality is worse than on the "three-programmer", but you do not need to pay for the radio channel, which now few people have left.

In Kiev, may appear the bureau of the Russian radio station Echo of Moscow. About this in an interview with "Strana.ua" said Alexei Venediktov, chief editor of "Echo". The opening of the Ukrainian representative office of Echo of Moscow is one of the goals of Venediktov's visit to Kiev. According to him, the bureau will include a radio station, website and pages on social networks. "This is a bureau that will create high-quality programs in Russian that local radio stations will want to buy. To broadcast from here to Russia, about what is happening in Ukraine," Venediktov said. And he clarified that the project will be launched provided that the law on language quotas is revised. "I hope that the Echo of Moscow radio will be able to work in Ukraine. I am ready to open a bureau in Kiev, and if you like, in Odessa and Lvov. It's actually strange to have a bureau in Israel, in Germany and in Washington, but not to have the bureau here in Ukraine. It's just nonsense. My journalists, whom I have verified, must get information and opinions of various political forces to Russia from here. It takes only 4-5 people. But for now, the law on language (we are talking about the law on quotas on The Ukrainian language on radio and TV - Ed.) forbids us to do this. In conversations with people from the new presidential team enta of Ukraine, I ask, will there be a correction of the law on the language? ", - Venediktov told Strana.ua. According to him, both Russian and Ukrainian journalists will be able to work in the Ukrainian bureau. And will probably head the Echo of Moscow bureau in Ukraine, Saken Aymurzaev, the former chief editor of Radio Vesti. "Citizenship is not important for me, a quality product is important to me. But it's clear that I have Saken Aymurzaev (special correspondent of Echo of Moscow in Kiev. - Ed.). My proposal has already been formulated to him," Venediktov told Strana. He specified that he planned to open an Echo of Moscow bureau in Ukraine five years ago. "I had such an ambition even before 2014. Actually, all of 2013 I tried to organize an Echo of Moscow bureau here," Venediktov added. According to the journalist, quotas are not a political issue, but a business one. "purely commercial side interests. Can we, if there is a correction in the law on language, open a bureau here that could produce four hours a day of a product that will be broadcast here and driven to Moscow. We'll see. This is a market issue. The bureau should be self-sustaining, I will not subsidize it," said Alexei Venediktov. At the same time, he expressed hope that quotas in Ukraine could soon be revised and even canceled. "The president publicly announced that the new Council is going to consider amending the law, and inside of this law I would like to abolish quotas. I express my proposal or request, or as you wish, to my interlocutors in the Presidential Office. During this visit to Kiev and the past too," added Venediktov.

By Rebecca Reich Aug 6, 2019 https://www.nytimes.com/2019/08/06/books/review/peter-pomerantsev-this-is-not-propaganda.html THIS IS NOT PROPAGANDA Adventures in the War Against Reality By Peter Pomerantsev When it came out in 2014, Peter Pomerantsev's acclaimed "Nothing Is True and Everything Is Possible" revealed a safely distant Moscow where facts were expendable and spectacle had upstaged reality. How times have changed. In "This Is Not Propaganda," the post-truth world is already at our doorstep, with Russia less an outlier than an outrider of the states that are putting disinformation to use. Pomerantsev travels the globe from Mexico City to Beijing in pursuit of new forms of media manipulation that mutate as they move across borders and ideologies. In Belgrade, he talks to Srdja Popovic, a founder of the Milosevic-era protest group Otpor and now an international guru on nonviolent resistance. Popovic advises searching for a "lowest common denominator" to unite the interests of supporters. For Otpor, that binding message had been Serbia's urgent need to join the West. But today, far-right websites like Infokrieg draw on Popovic's formula when instructing their own followers to look for "lowest-common-denominator themes: mass migration, Islamification, identity, freedom, tradition." This weaponization of identity and information also serves the aims of authoritarian states. The former Kremlin spin doctor Gleb Pavlovsky tells Pomerantsev that the collapse of Soviet power left an ideological vacuum that he filled with a new language rooted in vague emotions. To get people to vote the way you want, Pavlovsky says, "you need to build a fairy tale that will be common to all of them." Pomerantsev visits the site of one such fairy tale by following the activist Lyudmila Savchuk into the belly of the Internet Research Agency in St. Petersburg. There, an army of online trolls sows confusion and disinformation by posting pro-Russia articles and comments on websites worldwide. Indeed, all roads seem to lead back to Russia, including Pomerantsev's own. After nearly a decade in Moscow, he returned to London in 2010 because he "wanted to live in a world where `words have meaning,' where every fact was not dismissed with triumphant cynicism as `just P.R.' or `information war.'" But with Brexit and Donald Trump's election, the Russia he had known "seemed all around me: a radical relativism that implies truth is unknowable, the future dissolving into nasty nostalgia." Trump's promise to "make America great again" echoes Vladimir Putin's pledge to restore Russia's past greatness. Running through this insightful though distractingly underedited book are reflections on the K.G.B.'s persecution of Pomerantsev's own Soviet dissident parents and the family's eventual emigration. In London, his father, the writer Igor Pomerantsev, took up jobs at the BBC World Service and Radio Free Europe, whose shortwave signals he had caught in the Soviet Union. Pomerantsev writes wistfully of the ethos of accuracy and impartiality that these stations embodied during the Cold War. Yet even Igor began to chafe against the constraints of fact as he became "ever more enamored of the power of radio to create new worlds, blend past and present, here and there into something strange and new." Pomerantsev diagnoses our fact-distorting age with understanding and acuity, but his proposed remedies are altogether hazier. Nostalgic for the certainty of Soviet dissidents who believed there was "no middle between truth and lies," he calls for the regeneration of "freedom, rights -- all those big words that have been bled of their vitality." The final pages briefly sketch out his vision of an online culture that would empower the public to shape the flow of information, and an ethically engaged journalism that would stick to the facts. But amid the countervailing flood of disinformation surveyed, it will take more than such reveries to turn the tide.

Spring - Autumn 2019) WORLD NEWS. ============= * How to find a numbered radio station with messages for spies. -------------------------------------------------- ----------- Mysterious voices uttering seemingly meaningless chains of numbers that end up being mysterious ciphers ... You won't believe it, but you can hear all this yourself and even try to pick up the keys to the encoded messages. Read more in the text of our columnist Nikolai Grinko. Find among the old things a shortwave radio. If there is no old, buy a new one - it can be found in almost every electronics store, prices - from 300 rubles. Wait a bit, turn on the radio in the evening, select the HF band, and slowly turn the control knob. You will almost certainly hear a steady hum or constant intermittent beeps in some places on the scale. Stop tuning and listen. With a certain amount of luck, you will hear how the signal is interrupted, and instead a voice will sound - most often a female one, a little distorted. A voice will begin to utter numbers, something like: "One, one, nine, five, three. Nine, seven, two, two, eight. Four, one, zero, six, four ..." After a while, the transmission will end, and instead of a voice, a signal will sound again. This is a numbered radio station. For almost a hundred years, strange sets of numbers have been heard on the radio. The voices can be very different - female, male, even children's, and even completely - computer, synthesized. Numbers are called in different languages, sometimes letters are added to them. There are hundreds of such radio stations, broadcasts have been going on for years, and there are no official versions of what it is. But at the same time, everyone is well aware that numbered radio stations transmit messages for spies. Yes, yes, exactly: for intelligence officers, government agents, intelligence agents, Shtirlits and James Bond. Short radio waves have an interesting property: they are able to bounce off the ionosphere and the Earth's surface and, with sufficient transmitter power, can reach any point on the planet. In this case, multiple reflections do not make it possible to detect the station, that is, to determine the point at which it is located. All this makes short waves an ideal medium for secret messages - they do not need expensive equipment to receive them, you can catch a signal anywhere, and it is almost impossible to detect its source. Each five digits means one letter, encrypted with a one-time code, which cannot be decrypted without a key. The voices of the announcers are most often recorded, and their language does not necessarily correspond to the country from which the broadcast is being conducted. With the advent of computer programs that synthesized human voices, number radio stations began to actively use them for broadcasts: so that the nationality of the speaker could not be determined by accent. "Wait," the inquisitive reader will say, "after all, there are computers, the Internet, incredibly sophisticated encryption systems! Why are spies still using such an ancient communication system?" It's simple: old tricks are the best tricks. An encrypted file sent over the Internet still carries additional data - for example, about where it was sent from. And the radio, filled with interference and monotonous voices "three, four, three, nine, one ...", provides complete anonymity to both the sender and the recipient. Many hams around the world are happy to play "catch the spy", receiving and trying to decrypt messages, as well as determine their source. Conspiracy theories multiply and grow, but so far not a single set of numbers has been deciphered (at least there is no reliable information about this, for obvious reasons). Amateurs make catalogs of number stations, give them names. The principle is simple: if the station transmits low buzz most of the time, it will be called a "buzzer", if each encrypted message starts with a well-known musical phrase (this is quite common), then "Mozart" or "Duran Duran", if there is no identifier, then it's just will assign a number. Number stations can be silent for years and decades, and then suddenly wake up. Often such periods of violent activity coincide with political crises, revolutions, wars, special operations, and this is perhaps the only, albeit very weak, evidence of the spyware of the transmitters. However, amateur conspiracy theories are often erroneous. For example, a few years ago, users discovered the strange YouTube channel WebDriver Torso. Thousands of meaningless 10-second videos are laid out on it, in which there is nothing but red and blue rectangles, rushing around the screen to the same sound signals. Immediately, the theory arose that in this way special services transmit messages to their conspiratorial agents. Has the digital age really forced intelligence to follow progress? But some time later, Google officially announced that video clips and sound compression algorithms were tested using these videos and they had nothing to do with spyware. Number stations have been broadcasting for a century, since the First World War. And there are good reasons to believe that they will exist for at least as many more. Although...

What is wrong with the call signs of observers? -------------------------------------------------- ------ The Union of Russian Radio Amateurs (СРР) issues callsigns to observers. These callsigns contain hyphens, which are poorly processed or generally prohibited by many amateur radio services and programs. WSJT-X does not want to write this hyphen in the callsign field; FLDIGI such callsign is constantly trying to fix it. Many DX clusters write when connected, saying "Invalid Callsign". And I have met a lot of such situations all the time. One reason is that such callsigns do not comply with international rules. I talked with one good person who explained everything to me. Here we come to the deep philosophical question of the validity of the amateur radio call sign. According to international rules (established by IARU and CEPT documents that apply to Russia), the callsign consists of a prefix (a combination of letter-number or number-letter-number) and a suffix (letter). Exceptions in the form of homespun callsigns with hyphens inside, generally speaking, are not allowed. Returning to this problem many times, I saw how, in different countries, artisan creativity in the formation of observing callsigns gives such different combinations that it is impossible to choose a general rule for them. <...> I lifted up my archives and found out (memory, alas - girlish! I have to write everything down) that the person with the call sign R6H-212 already experienced similar problems, and I already explained to him why the R6H-212 was invalid. Then he received (this is very fast) through the website SWARL.org a valid callsign UA6111SWL. And everything worked for him. <...> I don't think that I will "adapt" to the control of ... the rules of the СРР, who have come up with this format overnight - all the more so because they don't make any contact in terms of information exchange, I tried through the regional office and through central authorities ... in some cases did not even receive confirmation of reading letters.
