(Igor Yaremenko, Novosibirsk, Russia / "open_dx") - I wrote to the Far Eastern RC by email with this question, but the contact is there, doesn't seem to have permission from the management to disclose information - more until the tests go. Therefore, the name of the contact will be called only under duress, and in words I will convey, what he said the following: "... test broadcasting is currently being carried out on PJSC from KnaA from the territory of existing radio center. Test broadcasting is conducted to determine coverage areas ... " And it's good, they've done well that they didn't steal the existing SW base !!!

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. --- Valeria Lebedeva, Julia Tishina, Kommersant.ru https://www.radioportal.ru/news/radio/v-sankt-peterburge-testiruyut-novuyu-tehnologiyu-dlya-radiostanciy (via Rus-DX 18 Aug via DXLD) On July 18, at 1:50 p.m., the branch of the RTRS "St. Petersburg RC" began broadcasting the Comedy Radio in St. Petersburg simultaneously in two formats: analog FM and digital DRM (DRM +, Simulcast mode). 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. https://moscow.rtrs.ru/press/announcements/rtrs-zapustil-pervuyu-rossiyskuyu-tsifro-analogovuyu-radiostantsiyu- standarta-drm-na-fm-chastote-v-s/ (via Rus-DX 18 Aug via DXLD) On July 5, 2019, without warning, the State Commission on Radio Frequencies (SCRF) gave the domestic RAVIS standard the ranges of 65.8-74 MHz and 87.5-108 MHz for the organization of digital radio broadcasting. 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. And the longer this process drags on, the more surprising is the SCRF's strategy on this issue (if any) ...

Hvilivitsky -------------------------------------------- In "EIS" (No. 3, 2005), an article was published on the construction in the Soviet Union in the 1970-1980s of the last century of super-powerful broadcasting stations, including those with 1000 and 2000 kW SW transmitters - the most powerful in the world. This outstanding result was achieved in the course of large-scale work on the refinement of the existing fleet of broadcasting transmitters, carried out at the radio centers of the USSR Ministry of Communications under the guidance of the author of the article, V. G. Buryak, a talented engineer who developed original technical methods for the amplification of transmission equipment in operation, including 500 kW SW transmitters "Bob-2" (PKV-500) - up to 1000, and then up to 2000 kW.

In the drain of the crew talks accidentally landed A321 caught amateur radio. [huhhh??? gh] Radio amateurs could decode the negotiations of the pilots of the Airbus 321 aircraft, which made an emergency landing on a corn field in the Moscow region on August 15. This was reported by TASS with reference to sources at the Flight Research Institute (LII) named after M. Gromov. "The work of the airdrome traditionally attracts the attention of aviation enthusiasts, they often listen to negotiations at the frequency of the LII control tower," the agency's source said. Also, the source of TASS in LII, which serves and owns the runway of the Zhukovsky airport, confirmed the authenticity of the published negotiations. Earlier on August 17, the Baza Telegram channel published a transcript of negotiations between pilots Damir Yusupov and Georgy Murzin, who managed to successfully land a plane with failed engines in a corn field. From the record it follows that the controllers of Zhukovsky warned the crew of the airliner before takeoff about "individual bird flights." The Ural Airlines plane flying from Moscow to Simferopol` shortly after takeoff made an emergency landing near the Zhukovsky airport on the morning of August 15. Onboard were 226 passengers and seven crew members. 76 people were injured. According to preliminary data, the cause of engine fire was the ingress of birds. During the landing, one of the aircraft's power plants fell off. On August 16, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree awarding the rank of Heroes of Russia to the aircraft commander and co-pilot. The remaining crew members were awarded the Order of Courage. It is reported by Rambler.

This was written to me by the Russian editorial staff, answering my question about the possible closure of short-wave broadcasting. "The Board of Directors of the Romanian Radio did not approve the proposal to close the broadcasting of short-wave IRR. This was one of the suggestions made by management in view of cost reduction. At the moment, our broadcasting is not threatened with termination, even negotiations were held on new frequencies for the winter of 2019-2020. This is not the first such attempt to switch to Internet broadcasting and we hope that in our work there will be changes only for the better. " At the end of August, some media reported on the possible refusal of Interradio Romania to broadcast on short waves. The proposal was made by the General Director of SRR ("Romanian Public Radio") Georgică Severin.
