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 HF 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 parties 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 communications for miners, geologists, reindeer herders and hunters working in the region with a population density of 0.07 people 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.

There was no reception, because a radio station operating at 15470 kHz worked nearby and clogged the LRA 36. I tried to listen through the Brazilian SDR, but even there the signal was barely audible. I wrote about all this to the radio station. Confirmation is not requested for obvious reasons. And today, the radio station sent a confirmation in the form of eQSL in one letter and a postcard with information in the second. Confirmation of course does not cost anything, but the one who answered mixed up everything in the data: designated the broadcast time as October 10, "place of reception" I wrote correctly - Belgorod, Russia, but the name is not mine. Such are the oddities. It would be a shame if I really took it, and only it caused a smile. I have confirmation from LRA 36 from the 90s. Then I had a P-399a and LRA 36 I listened almost every evening with quality from 2 to 4 points. True, they were in no hurry to answer, and I received the answer only after a nth report. I will not upload eQSL, but I will present the postcard and the information that they sent.

CB 225.4 meters Blog: https://rusdx.blogspot.com/2019/10/1.html RADIO RECEPTION AND NEW TECHNOLOGIES =================================== Tonight I discovered a new page in the DX-ing: receiving weather faxes. They, in fact, have existed since time immemorial, just before hands did not reach. It turned out - nothing complicated; all you need is a USB mode receiver and an Fldigi computer decoder program. One of the most affordable transmitting stations is the Deutsche Wetterdienst in Pinneberg in northern Germany. The work schedule is here: https://www.dwd.de/DE/fachnutzer/schifffahrt/funkausstrahlung/sendeplan_fax_d_042016.html (Only it is from 2016; something could have changed. But the frequencies are still the same, I listened to 7880 kHz) Some instructions on what and how to do: in Russian - https://habr.com/en/post/250989/ in English -- https://ranous.wordpress.com/2015/07/03/how-to-receive-marine-radiofax-charts/ From the Russian manual: "in USB mode, you need to configure a little lower" - in fact, specifically 1.9 kHz lower. The schedules give the average frequency between white and black, and for the decoder to work correctly, the receiver should not be on it, but on the reference frequency. Black color usually the signal corresponds to 1500 Hz above the tuning frequency, to white - to 2300 Hz above (but there may be exceptions). The reference frequency is sometimes called the carrier, but this is not entirely correct, because no signals are emitted on it itself. If the receiver does not support fractional frequencies, tune in to the nearest integer: the decoder can adapt to some extent. I usually record these things on an MP3 player, so that later in a quiet environment, scroll and adjust the parameters. For fax, the most important of them in Fldigi are Slant (tilt of vertical lines) and Align (shift of the picture from left to right). The controls are located under the graphic window. I sent a report today to Deutsche Wetterdienst, attaching a pair of accepted cards (analysis of the iceberg situation and atmospheric pressure over Europe and its adjacent oceans). They seem to be friendly towards radio amateurs; In 2015, I received QSL from there for receiving a teletype weather report at 10100.8 kHz.

(Christoph Ratzer via A-DX) (SHORTWAVE BULLETIN Issue no. 1934, October 6, 2019) * Listener Day 2019 at the IRR. (Radio Romania International). --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear friends, on Sunday, November 3rd, 2019, we offer you take part in the already traditional at the IRR , telling us about the role of international radio now, 30 years after the fall of many Communist regimes in Eastern Europe. Berlin fell in 1989 the wall and many states of the former Eastern bloc abandoned communism. This happened in the GDR, Czechoslovakia, Poland, Bulgaria and Hungary. AT In Romania, the communist regime fell on December 22, 1989. If until then, international radio stations from the East broadcast programs, sharpened against Western states, and radio stations from the West - against communist states, after 1989 many of these radio stations turned into channels for promoting the message of the countries from where the broadcast was conducted. Broadcasting services have changed in different countries in different ways: turning into platforms for promoting the country, in stations that express views relevant states on various issues, or in tools export of democratic values. This year, on the occasion of the at the IRR, we want to ask you, in what should, in your opinion, be the role of international radio stations? What do you expect from an international radio station? Could you share with us any memories of how you listened international radio, and especially the IRR program? We are waiting with great interest for your answers. You can send them to writing - by email, via Facebook, by regular mail or fax, as well as verbally in the form - if you want we will call you to write down your answer. https://www.rri.ro/ru_en/%D0%94%D0%B5%D0%BD%D1%8C_%D0%A0%D0%B0%D0%B4%D0%B8%D0%BE%D1 % 81% D0% BB% D1% 83% D1% 88% D0% B0% D1% 82% D0% B5% D0% BB% D1% 8F_2019-2605154 (Dmitry Kutuzov, Ryazan / "deneb-radio-dx") * Good exercise for the ears and brain. -------------------------------------------------- On the Internet, I found an online game, useful for our brother-diaxist, on the theme "guess the language by ear." A speech audio fragment is played, and you need to determine what language it is in by selecting one of proposed. https://lingyourlanguage.com/ Naturally, there are a lot of such games, but I like this one because the audio fragments are quite high-quality and the complexity grows smoothly along the way. At high levels, one already has to choose between different dialects of Arabic, Albanian, etc. (Dmitry Mezin, Kazan, Russia / "open_dx") 73!
