(https://vk.com/dxing) * Ministry of Justice denied reports on the cancellation of the celebration of Radio Day -------------------------------------------------- --------- The Russian Ministry of Justice has denied media reports about the alleged abolition of certain professional holidays in the Russian Federation. Earlier, the Kommersant newspaper reported that the "regulatory guillotine" was considering the possibility of invalidating a number of normative acts of the USSR introducing the oldest professional holidays, such as Railway Day or Radio Day. Later, the deputy chairman of the Federation of Independent Trade Unions of Russia, Alexander Shershukov, told RIA Novosti that the abolition of obsolete acts would not affect the existence of professional holidays in Russia. "The abolition of legal acts on professional holidays within the framework of the implementation of the mechanism of the" regulatory guillotine "is not planned," RIA Novosti was told in the press service of the ministry. Vladimir Solovyov in an interview with "360" noted that the Radio Day will not cease to celebrate. He emphasized that for himself, he does not see a difference whether Radio Day exists officially or not. "The tradition is simple: we both worked and we work and congratulate each other. This is not a public holiday, not a day off - our corporate holiday. <...> And what? Do you propose deleting Popov, the creator of the radio? "Soloviev asked. His colleague from Russian Radio, host Dmitry Olenin, has a different opinion. According to him, Radio Day has outlived itself. "I have not particularly celebrated this day in my 20 years of career. In the early 2000s, everything was still going when the radio was the top media. <...> Then everything came to naught. Now as such [no]. We have a radio station's birthday - this is a holiday for us, "said Olenin. He noted that in a large company it's now customary to celebrate the birthday of each radio station, its leadership and the New Year. This, Olenin added, is "brighter holidays than Radio Day."

At the bus stop there will be live broadcasting of this radio station, Bnews.kz reports. The name "Cossack Radios" will receive a public transport stop located next to the building of radio and television on Zheltoksan street, 175. The idea of renaming was expressed at the radio station, the akimat (administration) of Alma-Ata supported it. Currently, technical issues are being addressed to start broadcasting. At the beginning of this year, residents of the village of Zhympita, the district center of Syrym district of the West Kazakhstan region, had the opportunity to listen to the broadcasts of Kazakh Radio directly on the streets, where the local akimat repaired old radio sets hanging on poles. Kazakh Radio or Cossack Radios is a state-owned information and entertainment radio station. It was launched in September 1921 by the People's Commissariat of Posts and Telegraphs of the Kazakh Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic. Now it is part of the republican television and radio company "Kazakhstan".

This is discussed in the company's report, Ukrainian News reports. "In Ukraine, the number of users of the outdated wire broadcasting service is rapidly decreasing. This summer there are 350 thousand of them left. Every month, more than 10 thousand subscribers refuse the service," it says. At the same time, existing service subscribers will continue to use wired radio on existing conditions. Ukrtelecom continues to support a wire broadcasting network in those regions where there are users, but there is no demand for new connections. "Statistics show that the abandonment of wired radio is a global trend. In recent years, wired broadcasting has been steadily supplanted by new progressive digital means of transmitting information, such as social networks, IP-radio, free broadcast radio and others," the company emphasizes. According to the report, the wired radio service is disadvantageous and inconvenient due to its obsolescence. "In recent years, Ukrtelecom has been implementing a number of projects to develop telecom infrastructure, connecting settlements to the Internet. Each year, the operator builds more than 3,000 kilometers of optics, offering high-speed Internet and making it possible to use modern interactive television," it was informed. Now the operator is engaged in connecting to the optics of almost 300 small towns and villages. As Ukrainian News reported, Ukrtelecom is ready to invest 2.8 billion hryvnias for connecting villages to the Internet. In March, the court refused to terminate the Ukrtelecom sales contract Source: Ukrainian News Portal.

Throughout the territory of Chukotka in digital mode launched a short-wave digital broadcasting 09/19/2019 In the region, a digital radio broadcast has been launched in test mode. To determine the possibilities of covering SW broadcasting of the territory of the Chukotka Autonomous Region, a musical loop was broadcast to configure the equipment and determine the signal reception. It turned out that Chukchi radio could even be caught in Japan, as a radio amateur named Hans said in his letter, who also wished the region success in implementing the project. This year, the Government of Chukotka, together with specialists from the Far Eastern Regional Center of RTRS, launched an ambitious project to cover almost 100% of the region's territory with short-wave digital broadcasting. The corresponding agreement was signed by the Governor of Chukotka, Roman Kopin, and the director of the branch of the RTRS "Far East RC" Stanislav Kuznetsov. The document is a continuation of the effective cooperation of the par- ties in the transition to digital broadcasting in the district. - We constantly have in these remote places two thousand residents who need to be provided with communication services. Subsoil user projects are also being implemented outside the boundaries of settlements, transport communications are provided in territories that are not provided with communications. The Northern Sea Route also requires attention. These new solutions will remove restrictions and ensure communication where it is needed, "said Governor Roman Kopin. In Chukotka, broadcasting on the territory outside the settlements is especially important, as it provides communicat- ions for miners, geologists, reindeer herders and hunters working in the region with a population density of 0.07 pe- ople per square kilometer. Test broadcasting is carried out at a frequency of 12025 kHz in analog (AM) and digital DRM format. In addition to delivering a radio program to listeners, the project lays the foundation for creating a technology platform for global one-way data transfer, similar to one-way Internet. Using the DRM platform allows providing residents with high-quality sound and makes it possible to synchronously transmit programs in the national language. In addition, the format opens up the possibility of targeted notification, as well as the use of the platform for operational, duty and dispatch services, as well as projects for the informatization of the Arctic territories and the Northern Sea Route. By 2020, it is planned to provide 95.5% of the territory of Chukotka with short-wave broadcasting. Source: http://chukotka.rf/press-tsentr/novosti/?

FOREIGN RADIO STATIONS ============================== Poland ------------ Radio Poland. Feedback, 09.25. 2019 Responses to letters from listeners. (Dmitry Kutuzov, Ryazan, Russia / "deneb-radio-dx") - Friends, thanks to everyone who sent reports on listening to our programs! Special thanks to Andrei Molotov from St. Petersburg, Dmitry Elagin from Saratov and Anatoly Klepov from Moscow. Here is what Andrei Molotov writes: "Hello, dear editors! I ask for your help. In our region, at night, the radio station from Poland is perfectly heard: Polskie Radio Jedynka at 225 kHz in the long wavelength range. I prepared a report for the reception of the music program, but I don't know where to send it. There is no email address on the radio site for communication. Perhaps you can address it, as they say, to the address. The answer from the radio station is very important to me, since broadcasting in the long wavelength range is now very rare and it is a miracle that Poland supports these broadcasts. Regarding directly the broadcasts of Polish Radio in Russian. There is a significant problem. In our region, from May to September, the day lasts a long time. Accordingly, it gets dark late and early dawn. And a signal in the medium wave range, as you know, applies to long-distance paths only in the dark. To date, transmissions in St. Petersburg are drowning in interference, the signal level is unstable. If you found the opportunity to conduct broadcasts in the short wave range in the summer season, it would be great. Although this is only one broadcast per day, but the possibility of receiving is greatly increased. Or, if this is of course possible, broadcast at night (as a sidebar) at a frequency of 225 kHz. The transmitter power in Solec Kujawski is very decent and covers our northwestern region and the European part without any problems. With all respect, Andrew. Success and prosperity to you and the entire Polish Radio. " Andrey, many thanks for the detailed report and wishes. To contact the First Program of Polish Radio, you can write to them by e-mail: jedynka@polskieradio.pl. As for the broadcasting of our service, we will certainly take into account your comments. *** Here is what our listener Dmitry Elagin from Saratov writes: "Forgot to ask. If your program runs on the satellite at 17:00 UTC (as I was convinced of this yesterday, and in Lithuania there is a technical possibility to transmit it), as well as at 16:00 - why not broadcast one hour later for better signal transmission to medium waves. (...) audio is almost impossible to hear. And this is with pretty serious equipment I hope for the New Year the signal will break through in Saratov :) ". Thank you for your letter and comments, we will take them into account, trying to make listening to our broadcasts more convenient from any countries and cities. *** Further, the letter of Anatoly Klepov: "Best wishes from Moscow! ... The second question - at the end of the program, you transmit the station's work schedule, which completely contradicts what actually exists. Maybe it's better not to transmit this at the end of the program? I am your regular listener. I look forward to continued cooperation in the future. Respectfully! Anatoly Klepov. " ... As for the second, we will definitely take this into account and check. *** The letters were answered by Daria Yuryeva.

(Alan Pennington-UK, BrDXC-UK newsgroup Sept 24 via BC-DX 1398, 26 September 2019) * The State Duma recognized Deutsche Welle as a violator of the law on rallies. -------------------------------------------------- ------------------------ A State Duma commission to investigate interventions in the internal affairs of the Russian Federation recognized Deutsche Welle as violating Russian law because of calls to go to an unauthorized rally in Moscow. According to MP Vasily Piskarev, Deutsche Welle has all the attributes of a foreign agent: journalists are involved in political activities and are financed from abroad. Parliamentarians also felt that DW's actions showed signs of justification for extremism. So, Piskarev cited as an example the case of the blogger Sinitsa, who was convicted of writing on the social network about the children of security forces participating in dispersal of unauthorized rallies. The deputy noted that the media did not recognize the blogger as a criminal and simply called the oppositionist. The commission intends to ask the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to consider the issue of withdrawing DW accreditation in the Russian Federation.

In particular, it would be useful to know what publications are available and what clubs/groups are still active nowadays". Alan Gale, Mike Watling, Franck Baste, Alan Pennington, David Harris and Ross Bradshaw all kindly responded: Alan Gale was the first to respond: "My first port of call would be the NDB List website, which contains all the info on the NDB List group and the various publications available, such as Michael Oexner's "European NDB Handbook", and for online listings (of what's been heard rather than all the NDBs out there), the REU-RNA-RWW Database is a good place to check. There are also links to many other useful information sources: https://ndblist.info/beacons.htm and https://www.classaxe.com/dx/ndb/reu Of course I may be a bit biased as I run the Group and website, but if you'd like to join us you've be very welcome, we're a very friendly bunch, and even run monthly 'co-ordinated listening events' and have an awards scheme. You can find out more from the links above, and you will also find links there to our other groups which cover Navtex, DGPS and DSC DXing as well". Mike Watling is also a user of Michael Oexner's guide and Mike writes: "My "RF" activity is now almost exclusively geared to NDBs. The bible I use is Michael Oexner's European NDB Handbook. It's not the cheapest but I use it daily. Also, a guy called Robert Connolly in Northern Ireland produces a lower-key list which I've used in the past. For day-to-day chat I use the IOgroups NdbList. You may well have met some or all of these ... they keep me on track". Mike added "A bit of info regarding equipment. I have recently bought an Elad FDMDuo-R receiver to use as an SDR stand-alone set for NDB use. Early days yet ... it has pluses and minuses wrt the 7030. I went for this set due to the absence of traditional radios with knob on. As a "techie" type, I do a fair bit building antennas and the like. For NDB use I fully recommend pa0rdt`s MiniWhip, home-built or bought. Loop antennas perform brilliantly on this band and give much scope for experimentation. In my view, the Rolls Royce of these is Andrew Iken`s ALA1530 from Welbrook Comms". Frank Baste also recommends the sources mentioned above by Alan: "For me the best website is the REU NDB Database: https://www.classaxe.com/dx/ndb/reu/ and there is also a publication called "The Global NDB Handbook", with further details of the 2019 Edition available by refering to https://www.ndblist.info/beacons/NDBpublications2019.pdf For details of the The NDB list, go to: https://groups.io/g/ndblist Alan Pennington says: "Although I don't listen to non-directional beacons (NDBs) myself, I did notice the NDB List website https://www.ndblist.info/ is still active, also with links to four different groups.io groups on their home page. Also there is a list of recent publications for sale: https://www.ndblist.info/beacons/NDBpublications2019.pdf including the Global NDB Handbook 2019 (CD or download only) listing 16700+ NDBs worldwide. Plus also a European only NDB handbook (also available in printed form). There's a sample page at same link above". David Harris comments: "Radio User magazine has regular features on this subject written by Robert Connolly, email: gi7ivx@btinternet.com In the July 2019 edition he mentioned that he is publishing, "Non-Directional Beacons of Europe 2019/20". This will be a pdf only publication. Contact Robert for more details". Ross Bradshaw adds "Robert Connolly writes about these and the ones heard in his column in Radio User magazine. Contact Radio User magazine for more information" (Sept BDXC-UK Communication via DXLD) There is another online reference nobody mentioned, maybe because it skews toward North America, which I always check first, more user-friendly, with just enough info rather than too much: http://dxinfocentre.com/ndb.htm (Glenn Hauser, DX LISTENING DIGEST) (DX LISTENING DIGEST 19-38, September 19, 2019) 73!
