This situation is happening in many other cities of the country. At the request of the Belgorod Regional Public Television and Radio Broadcasting Center, a message was received in response that "VGTRK forms the broadcasting network of the Mayak radio station, and RTRS only broadcasts programs according to the set schedule." The reasons are not officially reported, but it is obvious that the parent organization thus saves its money. - On January 29, Radio 7 na semi Kholmakh resumed at 107.9 MHz in Stary Oskol. Broadcasting is now underway from the Verkhnechufichevo RTRS facility. Broadcasting from the previous location was discontinued on February 6, 2018. - On March 20, the Mir Belogorye radio station begins posting podcasts of its programs on the site - April 4, 65 years marks the Belgorod Regional Radio.

If you are driving along the highway from Belgorod to Stary Oskol, Alekseyevka or Ivnya, your radio will rebuild itself and you will remain in the wake of Radio Belogorya Mira.

After the symbolic song "Europe" - "The Final Countdown" the transmitter is turned off. But soon, as a farewell gift, broadcasting without ads continued and finally the first pioneer radio left the city on September 12. Unfortunately, this was not the last loss on the air of Alekseyevka. On the same day, Humor FM was turned off. A few months earlier, the owner of the licenses for the broadcast of Humor and another comedy station, Comedy Radio, tried to sell all the equipment and permits, but there were no people who wanted to buy this business. A month later, the licenses were canceled. - On October 23, Radio Kazak FM received a license for broadcasting in 88.9 MHz in Alekseyevka. Cossack FM is a Russian regional radio station with a broadcasting center from Krasnodar. - At the end of the year, another joyful event happened - on December 26, the broadcasting of Radio Energy at 99.4 MHz began in Gubkin. - And now a few words about the future: In the new year, the long-awaited launch of Radio Kniga ("Book") is planned. We have high hopes for the emergence of new frequency plans for broadcasting in Belgorod, in which there have been no competitions with a free concept for more than 5 years. Currently, there are plans in the plans: 103.2 and 92.0 MHz, which we hope will finally be played in the coming year. One of the newcomers, Hype FM, is scheduled to be launched in Builder at 98.9. According to the creator, rock music will sound on the waves of this station, although the name hints at something more youthful. In addition, another local station, which is planned in Gubkin - Perets FM, attracts much attention. Popular music expected in an energetic mix. In addition, in 2020 there will be a launch of Vesti FM radio in Stary Oskol at 106.5. In Gubkin, it will be possible to launch a new radio station at 97.9, and Radio Rus will appear in Valuyki at 99.4 and Builder at 99.3.

(https://vk.com/tvradio47) * In St. Petersburg, sell the radio station "Royal Radio" through the website The current musical FM radio station is put up for sale for 25 million rubles through the Internet resource of free ads, it follows from the materials on the corresponding site. "For sale is a ready-made business - an operating FM radio station. Media, broadcast licenses, communication services and equipment (transmitting and hardware-studio complexes) are available," the announcement said, indicating a sale price of 25 million rubles. The seller, who introduced himself as the general director of the radio station Vladimir Kuznetsov, told RIA Novosti that this was a sale of Royal radio, which operates at a frequency of 98.6 FM and specializes mainly in electronic music. "The site of free ads was chosen because it is one of the most effective sites for sale," the source said. According to the site of the radio station, its broadcasting license is valid until November 9, 2022. ria.ru (http://onair.ru/main/enews/view_msg/NMID__76090/) * Total 2019 - Continuing the news about the "figure", we will touch on the DRM test in St. Petersburg. Tests continue to this day at 95.7 MHz with LRTPTS and a power of 400 watts. The first digital channel that was launched is Comedy Radio. In the second digital channel there is Autoradio, and on the third - "Europe Plus". And the list continues to expand. The test itself, which was spoken about very briefly and a little, was organized precisely in the city on the Neva, since the tower base perfectly suited this matter. And let Peter be a pioneer in a difficult matter! - Radio "Komsomolskaya Pravda" appeared in the summer in the Northern capital at 92 MHz. The city was waiting for this event, since with the information space on FM, everything is not very good with us. The new station gave new impressions, strengths and opinions. Although the St. Petersburg broadcast "Komsomolki" has already broadcast on the Internet and on the site. From the point of view of broadcasting, the station was launched at the LRTPTs with a transmitting power of 125 W (some sources talked about 130 W), but then the station was transferred to the Olgino RTPS and increased the power to 5 kW. This was noticeable during preventive maintenance and other works at RTRS facilities. Now the station is operating normally, there is RDS, Petersburg broadcasts are held. The frequency of 92 MHz is gaining momentum and, hopefully, the main thing is still to come. - 98.6 MHz. We do not purposefully write the name of the radio station, because lately on the air it was not clear what. Many called it frank shame for St. Petersburg. The radio station was silent several times, no uniform appearance was observed in the networks and on the air, there were strange glitches with sound and RDS. Everyone began to hope that the situation would improve when Radio Vanya appeared (on the air as "Radio 98.6 FM"). An advertisement was launched in the region that everything should include 98.6 MHz. But later the advertising slogan removed on the air again was the so-called Royalradio. The point was set at the end of 2019 (although it was said that the radio would no longer be at 98.6 MHz more than once). The station went on air with debts on November 27 and recently began to be sold on a public site. It is a sad conclusion, but with such an attitude to business, this is quite the expected result. - Radio dlya dvoikh will be closed. Another event that has already begun to excite the most attentive. The information that the radio station will leave St. Petersburg was confirmed by representatives of "M10Media". This station will remain only in the regions. But this is not for long. And from January 1, 2020, at exactly 00:00, the frequency of 90.6 MHz will be occupied by Radio Vanya, which already broadcast in the city at 68.66 MHz with LRTPC until 2010, at 100.1 MHz from the village. Simagino from 2007 to 2015 and Testovo at 98.6 MHz from December 2018 to February 2019. The event is still not widely and officially talked about, but there will still be a surprise on the first day of the New Year. - Radio Chanson will open a branch in St. Petersburg. The representative office in the Northern capital will be the first regional office of the radio station. At the initial stage, management will be carried out from the head office of the radio station. And then Radio Chanson plans to adapt the local broadcast to the interests of St. Petersburg listeners. It is assumed that the changes will affect both the playlist and the software content. The first step has been taken, and we hope to hear the changes in 2020. - Long-suffering 92.9 MHz and 104.8 MHz (+ 105.5 MHz in Vyborg). It was a question of selling frequencies, of changing the owner and format of the broadcast, but listeners do not hear this. At frequencies, the broadcasting of the sound of the Izvestia TV channel with beatings of RSN and Radio Baltic will continue. There is even nothing to say about this, as the situation turns out to be very incomprehensible and complicated.

At about 18.45 UTC in At the end of the program, they announced that they would listen to the broadcast of TWR at 22.00 MSK at a frequency of 999 kHz. (Dmitry Kutuzov, Ryazan, Russia / "deneb-radio-dx") * January 3 At 1035 kHz after 03.00 the program of TWR was transmitted exactly. Today I got the impression that it started at 03:00 a.m., before that there was no signal. I didn't detect a signal clearly, but until 03:00 it was completely quiet, and now the transmission is not even at the noise level, but stronger, everything can be well disassembled (35442). January 4 The transmission at 1035 kHz was stable until 03.35, after which the signal began to disappear. At 03.57 (10.57 local time !!!) the identification of TWR was made with the mention of a certain "Chistayay Volna" ("Clean Wave"). At 04.03, the passage is still there! This is a very good result, I would even say amazing. At 04.28 (half past eleven in Tomsk) the passage to 1035 is still there !!! That's cool. The same announcement was made about the programs prepared by the TWR studio, broadcast on Clean Wave. Receiver: "Icom-8500" (Icom IC8500); Antenna: 180 meters long wire (Vladimir Kovalenko, Tomsk, Russia / "open-dx") * January 4 Through SDR in Estonia, he listened to 1035 at about 0358-0400. Yes: Christian broadcast. However, instead of TWR identification in progress: "Chistayay Volna". Never took Eli, since physically for me to take the traditional way on MW them are simply impossible. So: I do not know if this is their ID? Did they call themselves that? Or maybe: already a new station on broadcasts their wave? (Igor Ashikhmin, Primorsky Krai, Russia / "open_dx") * Internet radio "Chistayay Volna": http://purewave.ru/ The announcement of TWR programs is something like this: Listen to the programs prepared by TWR Radio Studios at 999 kHz every day at 10 p.m. Moscow time. This ad seems to be just affiliate advertising. The programs themselves are designed in a youth style and are completely different from TWR. The guys sculpt the programs themselves. By the way, not all of them are Christian: in the Dictionary of Vinaigrette today they discussed the origin of the words Zamok and Zamok, emigration and immigration. (Dmitry Mezin, Kazan, Russia / "open-dx") * The St. Petersburg Trans World Radio studio has been closed since December 31, TSR programs on air at a frequency of 1035 kHz were only until January 1, 2020 of the year. The transmission "Silver" switched to a frequency of 999 kHz, and the recordings of the rest gears stop completely. TWR website will continue to function, its will support the Krasnoyarsk TWR studio. Letters and calls are accepted will not be at St. Petersburg addresses. Part of the staff has already left St. Petersburg and departed to a new place of service. Everything else is not the products of St. Petersburg TWR studio, but the recordings of others studios, probably they are paid by someone.

The station was called Viking FM .... power was a few watts, up to 10 .... Somehow I even called the GIE, reported a signal at 71 MHz, in order to ward off suspicion :)))))) Somewhat earlier .... REFERENCE on the results of the verification of the work of the Republican Coordination Commission of the Moldavian SSR to combat the illegal manufacture and use of radio transmitting devices. In accordance with the work plan of the Central Coordination Commission for the fight against the illicit manufacture and use of radio transmitting devices by representatives of the USSR Ministry of Communications comrade Pelenitsyn B.M. and the Central Committee of the USSR DOSAAF comrade Vavpshevich B.M. the state of work to combat the illegal use of radio transmitters was checked in accordance with the requirements of order No. 018/081/09 of February 5, 1971 and decisions of the Central Coordination Commission on the territory of the Moldavian SSR. The verification established: The Republican Coordination Commission of the Moldavian SSR carries out work according to a plan agreed with the concerned departments. For the verification period, in 1976, three meetings of the Republican Coordination Commission were held, at which issues of the state of work to strengthen the fight against illegally operating radio transmitters and the results of the work for six months were considered. Decisions were made on the issues under discussion. In the city of Chisinau, listening to the mid-wave range is carried out at a radio control point in the daytime, in the regions of the republic, mid-wave range monitoring is occasionally carried out at radio broadcasting centers, regional communication centers and individual DOSAAF ham radio stations. In the second half of 1976, with the receipt of a special vehicle with the Luch-1 product, an operational search group was organized under the Ministry of Communications of the Moldavian SSR. In Tiraspol, in the fight against the illegal use of radio transmitters, great activity is shown by the chief engineer of the communication center, Comrade Grigoryev V.L., who works on organizing a group direction finding of illegal radio transmitters and is personally involved in their search. In this work, he is greatly assisted by the chairman of the Tiraspol Amateur Radio Club, T. Kotovsky. The city and district departments of the internal affairs bodies carry out certain work to expose and hold liable persons illegally using radio transmitting devices. However, despite the measures taken, there are significant shortcomings in the work to combat the illegal use of radio transmitters: - The Republican Coordination Commission does not check the work of the coordination commissions on the ground; at the meetings of the commission, reports of the district commissions are heard without prior verification. Decisions made on the reports are not brought to the attention of the district commissions to take measures to eliminate typical shortcomings. Information is rarely practiced at meetings of the republican commission responsible for the fight against illegally operating radio transmitters of departments. - The radio control point organized in Chisinau does not provide round-the-clock listening to the mid-wave range, its technical equipment and equipment does not meet the requirements of normal conditions for the operation of the radio operator. Listening to the medium-wave range in the cities of Tiraspol, Bender, etc. does not meet the requirements of the instructions for organizing the detection of illegal radio transmitters and is extremely insufficient in time (2-3 hours a day). Information from the field about listening to the air is practically not received by the republican coordination commission, as a result of which the planning of the operational search team is difficult. DOSAAF organizations are poorly engaged in attracting amateur collective and individual radio stations and regularly listening to the mid-wave range. - Wearable operational search equipment (direction finding) in the field is practically not used. - According to the decisions of the Central Coordination Commission, in which typical shortcomings for the republic are noted, measures to eliminate them are not carried out. - Card records of persons prosecuted on the basis of the Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Council of the MSSR, according to the order of the USSR Ministry of Internal Affairs dated 10.06.1971, No. 117, were not established in the checked areas (Tiraspol, Bender). In the same place. S.97. - Organizations DOSAAF development of mass amateur radio is clearly not enough. In 13 districts of the republic there is not a single amateur radio station. - Despite the repeated instructions of the Ministry of Communications of the USSR and the resolution of the Central Committee of the CPSU and the Council of Ministers of the USSR dated January 31, 1972 No. 90-43 on strengthening the radio frequency service (SIE), the Ministry of Communications of the Moldavian SSR did not resolve the issue of creating a SIE as an independent department, as a result which does not provide control over the use of radio frequencies and over the activities of the regional coordination commissions and field operations teams. Suggestions: 1. To hear reports of district coordination commissions at meetings of the republican commission after checking their work in the field. Decisions made on reports should be sent to all regions of the republic to eliminate typical shortcomings in the work being done. 2. Ensure listening to the mid-wave range at the radio control point and radio broadcasting nodes of the republic in strict accordance with the requirements of the instructions. Take measures to equip the radio control point in Chisinau with appropriate radio equipment and equip the workplace of the radio operator. 3. The work of the operational search group (OCG) to organize the search for illegal radio transmitters should be planned based on materials from the field. To practice the departure of organized crime groups to the regions of the republic to listen to the medium-wave range. 4. To ask the leadership of the Ministry of Communications of the MSSR to consider the issue of parking a special vehicle with the Luch-1 product on the territory of the car depot (in the box), and also to resolve the issue of staffing the radio control post and organized crime groups in accordance with the order of the USSR Minister of Communications dated August 25, 1972 No. 557. 5. To ask the leadership of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the MSSR to allocate a permanent employee as part of the organized criminal group according to the instruction of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the USSR of July 4, 1975 No. 1/4875 Create filing records for persons held accountable by decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Council of the MSSR. In the same place. S.98. 6. To propose the DOSAAF Central Committee of the MSSR to organize a systematic listening of the medium-wave range by amateur groups and individual radio stations of the republic with recording in separate hardware magazines in the appropriate form and timely reporting of the listening results with the analysis of radio broadcasts to the local authorities of the Ministry of Communications (coordination commissions). 7. To expand widespread mass amateur radio amateurism, and, above all, to create collective amateur radio stations in all regions of the republic. Consider the establishment of a republican sports and technical radio club. The reference was reported at a meeting of the Republican Coordination Commission. (Leo Barmaleo / "open-dx") WORLD NEWS. ============ * DX Listening Digest suspended -------------------------------------------- Dear DX Listening Digest recipients, You may have noticed no issues dated since the end of October. As of Jan 1, 2020, I am admittedly suspending publication to reduce my workload. DXLD has been a labor of love for these many years, as I enjoy editing and compiling info into some kind of reliable, easily referenced and permanent source. But it was consuming far more of my time than I should have allowed, at the expense of other things in life, even non-DX related! If you are not already subscribed to the WOR io group, I urge you to do so. I will continue to host this very active newsgroup, and increasingly post material there which would have eventually wound up in compiled DXLD issues. If you do not wish to receive individual e-mail, you do not have to; instead digests, or neither, but you may read whatever you like on the iogroup website. Of course, searching it for info you need can easily be done just as with DXLD issues. As was mentioned in every DXLD issue header, here is where to sign up: https://groups.io/g/WOR Please mention that you had been a DXLD direct recipient, and I will not have to prompt you to avoid spammers. Of course members are also urged to participate if they have any significant DX or media info, especially if they are already posting it elsewhere. I don`t mind cc! Everyone is also welcome to send me direct any info if you do not wish to post it there: wghauser@yahoo.com I expect to maintain ``exchange`` agreements in this way, as WOR iogroup info may be republished with the usual full-credit requirement, just like info from DXLD. Many of our exchangers have already been monitoring and quoting from the WOR iog. The WOR iog and our multiple contacts with other groups and publications will continue to be sources for World of Radio broadcasts. Thanks, and 73, Glenn Hauser * Netherlands ------------------ Since the beginning of January of this year, the Netherlands officially stopped using the name "Holland" to denote the state. This is reported by the NOS radio station. The publication notes that from January 1, companies, authorities, universities and print media will begin to use only the name "Netherlands". This was done to form a unified national brand, the Dutch Foreign Ministry noted.
