1386 kHz. The recent past and present.
-------------------------------------------------- ---------
Radio observers and listeners are familiar with this mid-wave frequency. For several years Radio Liberty and several 
other stations (Poland, Japan) have been broadcasting here from the Lithuanian repeater.
A couple of years ago the transmitter was changed. If previously the Sitkunai (Kaunas) radio center was used for 
broadcasts, now broadcasts are being conducted from Vesynthos. To update the transmission equipment, a modern 200 
kilowatt transmitter was sent to Lithuania.
It is likely that it was impossible to maintain a radio center in Sitkunai, where the majority of Soviet-made transmitting 
equipment (SV), although there were transmitters there that outperformed even new equipment in Vesynthos. 
Considering that Freedom and Poland and Japan were the only customers, the center's work incurred losses and was 
probably not covered by payment from customers.

Since May 1, 2019, the Belarusian Freedom Service has gone on air and the schedule of transmissions from the 
repeater has been adjusted. In particular, the Russian Freedom service began broadcasting 21-24 MST, and not most of 
them at night, as it was before. This is more rational, because the potential audience of Freedom is sleeping at night.
However, from May to September, receiving transmissions from Lithuania's transponder is problematic. Since daylight 
hours are long, the signal is unstable or completely absent. This is especially painful for Poland and Japan.
 
It is much more logical, at least in the summer, to broadcast the above programs in the short-wave range. This is of 
course if we are talking about Poland and Freedom. Japan broadcasts quite aptly on KV and relaying from Lithuania is a 
kind of "supplement" for potential listeners of the Baltic states, Ukraine, Belarus and, ultimately, Russia.
In the morning, the broadcast in Russian is also broadcast from Germany (Nauen) at a frequency of 6165 kHz. 
Direction: Russia. Of course, in the summertime, and with this frequency there are problems, however less noticeable 
than the Japanese transmission at a frequency of 1386 kHz.

Next, you are offered a historical background on broadcasting at a frequency of 1386 kHz and a dispute between 
Lithuania and Russia over the right to broadcast on it.
Posted by Sigitas Zhilionis, Lithuania.
Taken from here: http: //www.zilionis.lt/history/1386-r.htm
(For users of the Russian Federation blocking of material is possible. Use bypass means)
P.S. I could not find information whether Lithuania eventually broadcast on 1386 kHz itself, or acted and is acting only as 
a relay of programs of third-party companies.
 
In March 2002, the Vilnius radio company International Radio Baltic Waves received a license to use the average 
wavelength of 1386 kHz for broadcasting with a radiated power of 32.1 dBkW (1622 kW).

However, the same frequency is also used by the powerful station in Bolshakov, Kaliningrad Region, to broadcast the 
Voice of Russia broadcasts in German and English for listeners in Western Europe.

Many hams and professionals are asking questions about such an obvious clash on the air. How so? What is it? To 
answer this, you should look into the story.
 
In the Swiss city of Lausanne, at a preparatory meeting for the Washington Radio Conference in 1927, a broadcast wave 
of 219 meters was allocated to the Kovno, Lithuania station (Kovno is now Kaunas). Internationally, often in 1939 
Montreux this channel is destined for the Memel, Germany station (Memel is the current Klaipeda, a city in western 
Lithuania). In the post-war frequency distribution plan adopted in Copenhagen in 1948, this channel is again listed behind 
the Kaunas, Lithuanian SSR station. After a couple of years, the construction of a broadcasting station in Sitkunai (18 km 
from Kaunas) is finally completed, and it begins broadcasting on the frequency allocated to it. However, somewhere 
between 1953 and 1972, the Sitkunai station leaves this channel. Later, in 1974, a powerful station was built in the village. 
Bolshakovo of the Kaliningrad region, and is launched on the Lithuanian frequency. This new station is located 140 km 
from Kaunas. From a legal point of view, the transfer of the station to more than 30 km from the place registered in 
international plans should be coordinated with other European countries. However, Moscow did not bother to comply with 
the signed international agreements, and did not even inform anyone about the transfer of the station.
 
In 1978, a new frequency distribution plan for the European continent, the Geneva Plan, entered into force. In it, Moscow 
again confirms the assignment of a frequency of 1386 kHz to the Lithuanian station Kaunas. And finally, in 1991, after 
the separation of Lithuania from the USSR, the ministries of communications of Lithuania and the USSR signed a 
separation of functions protocol, in which Moscow declares that it recognizes frequency assignments in Lithuania. Alas, 
in fact, everything looked different.
 
Russia not only did not release the frequency of 1386 kHz, but worked on it with increased power. Instead of the 1000-
kilowatt transmitter authorized by the Geneva agreement, a 2500-kW transmitter worked. Instead of an omnidirectional 
single-mast antenna with a gain of 2.1 dB, permitted by the Geneva agreement, an antenna "CB 4 + 4" (2 rows of 4 
masts) with a gain of 12.7 dB was installed. In total, this combination gives the radiated power twenty-nine times the 
power allowed by international agreements.

In the fall of 2001, the Lithuanian communications authorities appealed to their Russian colleagues to stop illegal 
broadcasting. This was done because Lithuania intended to launch its own station on this channel, in accordance with the 
Geneva plan. Russia's response, however, had no intention of stopping the work; they even demanded that Lithuania 
delete the 1386 kHz frequency from the Main Frequency Register of the International Telecommunication Union.
 
Currently, in the middle of May 2002, work is ongoing in Lithuania to launch a station in Sitkunai at a frequency of 1386 
kHz with a power of 750 kW at night and 250 kW at daytime. It is expected that the station will be ready in June 2002, 
after which trial broadcasts will be conducted to determine the reception area and the real level of interference from the 
Russian transmitter. At present, Bolshakovo station operates between 09:00 and 21:00 GMT with an 8-mast antenna and 
an estimated power of 1200 kilowatts.

By the way, almost the same situation exists at another medium-wave frequency used by the Bolshakov superstation - 
1215 kHz. The parameters are identical with 1386 kHz: a transmitter with a power of 1200/2500 kW and an antenna "CB 
4 + 4". Agreed by international agreements? No way! The Geneva plan lists Orissare, Estonia, 30 kW.
 
Appendix 1. Broadcasting services and stations whose reception areas are reduced due to illegal operation of Russian 
superstations at frequencies of 1215 kHz and 1386 kHz:

France Bleu: Bordeaux, France, 1206 kHz
Tirana Radio and Trans-World Radio: Flake, Albania, 1215 kHz
Virgin AM: 15 station sync network, UK, 1215 kHz
Radio Bulgaria: Vidin, Bulgaria, 1224 kHz
France Bleu, RFI, and R. France Urgences: Lille, France, 1377 kHz
ERA2 and Voice of Greece: Athens, Greece, 1386 kHz
Trans-World Radio: Flake, Albania, 1395 kHz
Business Nieuws Radio: Trintelhafen, Holland, 1395 kHz
Appendix 2. Subsequent Events.
 
05/31/2002 Radio Baltic Waves (RBV) received a letter from an employee of the Center for Radio Communication and 
Radio Broadcasting No. 2 (TsRR-2 - the enterprise that owns the Bolshakovo radio transmission station). In it, he 
demanded that the RBV "release" the frequency of 1386 kHz. He also expressed the opinion that the TsRR-2 should jam 
not only RBW test transmissions at a given frequency, but also regular transmissions at a frequency of 612 kHz, and 
even the frequency of 9710 kHz, which is used by Lithuanian Radio. In the end, he added that he would do everything in 
his power to disrupt the RBV plans.
On 07/07/2002, in his second message, the same employee of TsRR-2 specified his actions: "if we can not jam your test 
transmissions officially, then I will personally try to rent our 1386 kHz transmitter for the duration of your test 
transmissions to jam them."
07/03/2002 it was noticed that TsRR-2 turns off the transmitter at a frequency of 1386 kHz not at 21:00, as usual, but at 
22:00 GMT; An additional hour of broadcasting consists of programs from the Moscow radio program Sodruzhestvo. 
Since the RBV intended to broadcast even after the end of the Russian program (in order to avoid mutual interference), 
the extension of this program itself is essentially the embodiment of threats to "disrupt the RBV plans". Russia responded 
to the appeal of the Lithuanian side to stop illegal actions on the air by expanding such actions, thereby demonstrating its 
attitude to the small neighboring countries.
26-27.05.2003 Talks in Vilnius between representatives of the communications administrations of Lithuania and Russia. 
No results.
September 9-10, 2003 Another round of negotiations in Vilnius. The Russian side agreed to gradually curtail broadcasting 
at a disputed frequency and release it before the end of 2007.
11/01/2007 the Russian station in Bolshakov stopped broadcasting at a frequency of 1386 kHz. The conflict is settled.

Tatar Radios will move to a new building
-------------------------------------------------- -----------
Radio station "Tatars Radios" is moving to a new building. This was reported to Tatar-inform by the acting head of the 
managing company of the Tatar media group Bars Media Pavel Volonikhin. According to him, now repair work is 
underway in the new building. Tatar Radios will occupy one of the production facilities in house No. 34 along the Siberian 
Highway. "Moving the radio to a new building is based on a general decision of the shareholders. Now the new building is 
undergoing repairs. Repair should be completed by the end of next week, "he said. The radio station began operating in 
2001 in a rented building at 8. Protochnaya 8. In 2003, the company moved to a new office at 20a Golubyatnikova. The 
license obtained in 2016 in Roskomnadzor also contains this address. On August 6, Marat Garayev, chairman of the 
board of directors of the Bars Media Tatar media group, announced his departure from the company, as well as the 
departure of his daughter, Dina Garayeva, who served as director. The reason for leaving Marat Garayev called a lack 
of understanding with the shareholders of the company. According to a source from Tatar-inform, the house on 
Golubyatnikov did not belong to the shareholders, but to the previous owners, who left the building and asked the radio 
station to release him. However, Pavel Volonikhin denied this information. "They didn't kick us out of the old address," he 
said.

AZERBAIJAN
===========
The Radio and Television Broadcasting and Satellite Communications Production Association of the Ministry of 
Transport, Communications and High Technologies of the Republic of Azerbaijan for the first time in the country carried 
out test broadcasting of digital radio of the European standard DAB + (Digital Audio Broadcasting) in Baku and on the 
Absheron Peninsula. Report informs with reference to the ministry. In order to introduce DAB + standard digital radio in 
the Baku TV Tower, the main station equipment, a 1 kW digital radio transmitter and a 1x6 configuration antenna system 
were installed and commissioned. As a result, for the first time in Azerbaijan from August 26, 2019 in Baku and on the 
Absheron Peninsula at a frequency of 218.6 MHz (11B), digital test broadcasting of 12 radio programs began in one 
package - Azerbaijan Radio, İctimai FM, Araz FM, Radio Antenn, Lider FM, Space FM, Media FM, Xəzər FM, Radio 
Qrup, Avto Radio FM, Asan FM, Azad Azərbaycan FM. Due to the relevant radio monitoring work carried out by the 
State Administration of Radio Frequencies of the Ministry of Transport, Communications and High Technologies, a stable 
reception of digital radio signal was ensured throughout Baku and the Absheron Peninsula. Currently, the DAB + 
standard digital radio broadcasts in parallel to analog FM broadcasting. In the future, with the wide distribution in 
Azerbaijan of radios supporting the DAB + standard, it will also be possible to broadcast digital radio in the country's 
regions. Information on the launch of DAB + digital broadcasting in our country is available in the database of the world's 
most influential international industry organization WorldDAB, operating in the European Broadcasting Union in Geneva, 
and the official Internet resource www.worlddab.org. Thus, Azerbaijan entered the list, which includes only 27 countries. 
Note that, as in digital television broadcasting, and in digital broadcasting, you can broadcast and receive radio programs 
in one package. Digital broadcasting provides more efficient use of the radio frequency spectrum, more stable reception 
of radio signals, the transmission of information in video, graphic and text form on the same frequency band, and also 
has the advantage of broadcasting in single-frequency network (SFN) mode. In addition, this type of broadcasting 
enables stable reception at any point in the coverage area of the radio signal, regardless of the speed of the car, train and 
other moving objects in which the receiver is installed. Also note that in order to receive digital radio in your home and 
cars, you need receivers that support the DAB + standard. Cars manufactured in Europe after 2012 have radios that 
support this standard. They can receive digital radio after downloading the appropriate software.

Incorporating REVIEW OF INTERNATIONAL BROADCASTING 
edited by Glenn Hauser, USA
---------------------------------------
** ARMENIA [and non]. 18/09-2019, 1350 kHz --- For a long time I am 
observing the channel 1350 MW. As of 1930 there is a program from TWR 
from Armenia in Hebrew and Persian, I think. After 1930 sometimes 
Egypt comes through on the channel in parallel to 819 (Zeljko Crncic / 
https://mediumwave.info/news.html via Rus-DX Sept 29 via DXLD) 
 
** ARMENIA. 7475, Sept 27 at 2359. JBA carrier from presumed special 
broadcast of Christie`s soundtrack simulcast with her RCI film 
`Spectres of Shortwave` showing in Winnipeg; even less than that a few 
minutes later Sept 28. This was aimed at Africa and reported well 
heard into South America (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) 
 
Very poor to non-existent here in NB. Would have thought it would have 
done a bit better into NB. At sign-on, I could hear a bit of audio but 
just barely. Could tell it was the RCI ID and Amanda giving her 
introduction but then the signal faded into oblivion. I had some audio 
at a poor level about 25 minutes before the scheduled start of the 
Armenian transmission in what seemed like an oriental language. And 
then a 1 kHz tone starting around 2350. The tone disappeared about 10 
minutes later. Thinking this might be a heterodyne rather than a test 
tone, I checked Dan Ferguson's schedule file and, sure enough, it 
appears I was hearing Voice of Tibet on 7476 kHz from Tajikistan 
initially. It's scheduled from 2330 to 2400. And checking the U. 
Twente SDR receiver from time to time, there was only ever a faint 
carrier on the waterfall (-- Richard Langley, Sept 28, WOR iog via 
DXLD) See also CANADA [non] 
 
** ARMENIA. 9300, Monday Sept 30 at 1313, TWR IS at S3-S5, 1315 
opening announcement unknown language; again at 1359 TWR IS is JBA. 
Per Aoki/NDXC, convoluted schedule of TWR India via Yerevan-Gavar for 
day 2 shows starting 1315 in Mun language; 1400 going from Hin-di to 
Kum. So what are these obscure minolitylangs? Per EiBi`s readme.txt 
MUN Mundari: India-Jharkhand, Odisha (1.1m) [unr] 
KUM Kumaoni/Kumauni: India-Uttarakhand (2m) [kfy]  
At least the gospel huxters are countering Modi`s Hindi-above-all

** KAZAKHSTAN. In Alma-Ata, one of the bus stops will be renamed in 
honor of the radio station "Cossack Radios" ("Kazakh Radio"). 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".

to consider revoking German broadcaster Deutsche Welle's right to work 
in the country for breaking Russian laws, Russian news agencies cited 
a senior lawmaker as saying on Friday.

There was no immediate comment from the broadcaster. 
 
Piskarev said the parliamentary investigation would also look into 
whether coverage by Britain's BBC and the U.S.-funded Radio Liberty

** UKRAINE. Ukrtelecom Telecommunications Company intends to stop 
providing services for connecting wired radio to its home radio point 
from January 1, 2020. 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

ARMENIA / SWITZERLAND The Armenian Public Radio and the Swiss Embassy
in Armenia signed a summary of the technical cooperation program.

As "Armenpress" reports, the document was signed by the Executive Director
of Public Radio Garegin Khumaryan and the Swiss Ambassador to Armenia
Stefano Lazzarotto. "We have a small miracle. Public Radio has a fantastic
archive in which we store almost everything from the 30s. Over the past
five years, the archive has been digitized and cleared, the issue of
modern sounding has been resolved," said Garegin Khumaryan, saying that
now the process of digitization will go faster.

Within the framework of the program, specialists from Switzerland adjusted
and repaired the tape players of the world-famous Swiss brand Studer, used
by Public Radio. They are used to digitize radio broadcasts.

Studer players are the best in the world. But since they are no longer
manufactured, their maintenance has become too complicated. And Public
Radio has 6 such players, of which only three worked. Thanks to the
efforts of Swiss specialists, all six are currently in perfect condition.

The implementation of the program with the financial assistance of the
Embassy of Switzerland could not have been imagined without a large
donation by Susan Rybicki Varga, made in memory of his father, the famous
violinist, conductor Tibor Varg.

"Glad to cooperate. I am a music lover, it comes from my heart," said
Ambassador Lazzarotto, emphasizing that the governments of Switzerland and
Armenia have good opportunities for cooperation in various fields. He
considers this a small occasion to make any contribution to another area.

He added: "One thing is a short-term program, and another is a long-term
one. This is a program for years."

The Public Radio Archive contains about 100,000 copyright, music, literary
and artistic programs, radio shows, lasting more than 150,000 hours. The
fund has preserved records not only in Armenian, Russian, but also in
Kurdish, Yezidi, Azerbaijani, Arabic, songs, music, cultural, children's
programs, radio programs, performances of great Armenians, interviews and
other archival materials.

The rich digital archive of the Gold Fund is available at

RUSSIA {ESTONIA / MOLDOVA Transnistria Pridnestrovie}

At the end of this year, the closure of the St. Petersburg studio
"TransWorld Radio", and with this the associated cessation of TMP
broadcasting from Tartu Estonia at MW frequency 1035 kHz. Broadcasting at
a frequency of Grigoriopol Pridnestrovie 999 kHz (of the same radio
station) will be slightly increased.
(Vasily Gulyaev, Astrakhan-RUS, Russia / "open_dx";

Dear brothers and sisters,
we inform you that since January 2020 Transmir Radio closes its studio in
St. Petersburg and stops broadcasting on medium waves 1035 kHz in Tartu
Estonia. Broadcasting is done through an antenna installed in Estonia.
Because a third of the budget is Family Radio Eli makes up the
contribution of Transmire Radio, then all the work of Family Radio Eli
endangered. At the moment, broadcasting on medium waves in the
post-Soviet space made only on our part.

Where is Ely Family Radio broadcasting?
For 18 years since 2001, Family Radio Eli has been broadcasting around
the clock in in three directions: on medium waves 1035 kHz, on ultrashort
in Estonia and in the Internet. The radius of broadcasting medium waves
from 500 to 2000 km, which allows reach the Baltic states, the north-west
of Russia, the entire territory of Belarus and the north part of Ukraine.
Thanks to ultrashort waves, the Russian language is covered region of
Estonia. And broadcasting on the Internet allows you to reach the gospel
the modern generation and the most diverse regions around the world.

What are the funds required and how much?
Eli Family Radio Service is a comprehensive work that involves high costs.
Every year, about 10 thousand euros are required to pay broadcast
licenses. More than 50 thousand euros a year is spent on maintenance
transmitter and antennas for medium wave broadcasting. Besides, funds are
spent on the work of studios, technical equipment, transportation costs
and labor costs. The main source of income remains donations from
listeners, private individuals, churches and organizations.

A call for cooperation.
In connection with the cessation of broadcasting of Transmire Radio on
medium waves and their share in the total budget, which is 1/3 of all
income, to us 7 thousand euros per month is missing (85 thousand euros per
year) to continue the work of Family Radio Eli. If your church or mission
could take on commitment to support us financially, then together we could
keep broadcasting on medium waves for radio listeners from Russia, Belarus
and Ukraine.

Feedback and statistics.
Every day we receive letters, messages and receive phone calls due to
boundary. According to our statistics, there are representatives among the
listeners all age groups, from more than 12 countries. Our audience is -
72% are representatives of evangelical churches, 9% of Orthodox and 10% of
people who Do not attend any church.

Have you ever wondered who will tell Jesus Christ to a teenager, which
grows without proper upbringing, sitting all day for by computer? Who to
share the Good News with a single mother who is alone raising children
without consolation and hope for the future? Who will always say busy man
who seeks to provide for his family spends days and nights at work? Who
will comfort an elderly person bedridden for long time without a chance of
recovery? Who will encourage hope in Lord of old people, living their
lives in a small village, in which has only a few yards left? You can
become this person! By supporting the ministry of Family Radio Eli, you
help spread the Good News via radio waves and Internet broadcasting in
those places about which you never even thought.

With fraternal greetings from Estonia and a prayer,

Mongolia
--------------
QSL from "Voice of Mongolia".
Received a verification card from the English service "Voices of Mongolia".
I took their program on September 30, 2019 in Ulan-Ude at a frequency of 12085 kHz. Most likely the antenna is directed 
to the southwest and the signal quality of their broadcast in the capital of Buryatia leaves much to be desired, although 
the transmitter is not so far.

Secret Cold War past of a Spanish tourist hotspot
Miquel Ros, CNN* Updated 11th October 2019
----------------------------------------------------------
(CNN) - It's March 23, 1959. The radio waves crackle and broadcast begins: "Govorit Radio Svoboda" (Говорит Радио 
Свобода - "This is Radio Liberty speaking...")
From the other side of the Iron Curtain, the radio broadcasts of US-funded Radio Liberty reached deep inside the Soviet 
Union. This was an opening line destined to enter Cold War folklore.
What most of those clandestinely tuning in could not possible imagine is the unlikely location those broadcasts were 
coming from.
This quiet beach resort of Platja de Pals, Spain, tucked between the Mediterranean Sea and the greenery of pine groves 
and rice paddies, makes for an unlikely Cold War front line, but this is exactly the role it played for nearly half a 
century...
