Kaliningrad Radio
Another interesting transmission on HF in digital modes was discovered -
coastal station Kaliningrad Radio with the call sign UIW23 broadcasts
warnings to mariners (NAVAREA, NAVIP, PRIP) in RTTY 50/170 and
SITOR-B. This happens, if I'm not mistaken, twice a day: at 10:00 and 16:20
(15 minutes each), frequencies 4228 and 8454 kHz. Decode this whole thing for free
Fldigi program.
The transfer at 10:00 is not accepted, does not reach the conditions
passing. At 16:20 - more or less at 8454, but not 100% decoded.
The warning texts themselves are in Russian, but Fldigi displays them
Latin letters or icons (number 4 instead of "h", X instead of "b", apostrophe
instead of "u", etc.). I have not yet found how to overcome this.
What NAVAREA, NAVIP and PRIP can be read here, for example:

The Ministry of Communications of the Russian Federation opposes the conversion of radio to digital broadcasting,
-------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------
since this will lead to multiple growth in the market and, consequently, a decrease in advertising revenue for specific
radio stations, Deputy Minister Alexei Volin said. "Switching to digital broadcasting will kill the Russian radio industry.
Therefore, we are categorically opposed to switching radio to digital ... If you switch to digital, the number of radio
stations will increase many times, and the advertising market by radio, it wasn't the biggest anyway, it fell from the
moment the beginning of quarantine and self-isolation measures in the regions is 90% and higher, in the whole
country - 70-80 percent. God forbid that there should be enough to survive, not to mention the development of those
who remained, "Volin said in as part of an online interview with the HAT Live project.

Radio Serebryany dozd (Silver Rain) will air on July 4 for the last time.
----------------------------------------------
Serebryany dozd radio station will be aired for the last time on July 4 due to financial difficulties. Recently, there have
been delays in paying salaries at the radio station, the director general of the radio station Dmitry Savitsky told RIA
Novosti. "We set the last day on July 4. Our birthday is just the station. On the last day we wanted to celebrate it for
the last time. And then we'll do something about this. Speaking of some date, we know this date. And if we talk about
the continuation of existence, we will look according to circumstances, "Savitsky told the agency, noting that the
reason is financial difficulties. Savitsky also affirmatively answered the question of whether there were delays in
employee salaries. "They started, everything had to be reduced, everything is like everyone else's," the Director
General noted. The Serebryany dozd information and entertainment radio station began broadcasting on July 4,
1995. As Serebryany dozd himself notes, they were the first in continental Europe to broadcast their broadcasts on
the Internet in real time. Satellite broadcasting of the radio station is carried out in more than 200 cities of Russia and
neighboring countries, the website says. According to the radio station, with its support and direct participation in
Moscow, there were tours of world-famous stars: Elton John, Ringo Starr, Deep Purple and others. Live broadcast of
Dmitry Savitsky on Silver Rain.

Emergencies Ministry for the first time interrupts broadcasting throughout the country.
-------------------------------------------------- ----------
In October in Russia for the first time in a centralized manner, the Ministry of Emergencies will conduct a
comprehensive check of the readiness of public warning systems.
The department explained that comprehensive checks will be carried out with the launch of electric sirens and
loudspeakers, as well as replacing broadcasting of television and radio channels in all regions, RBC reports.
The decision to conduct such a large-scale audit was made at a meeting of the government commission for the
prevention and elimination of emergency situations and ensuring fire safety, chaired by the head of the Ministry of
Emergencies, Yevgeny Zinichev.
The ministry noted that the capabilities of public warning systems were used to inform Russians about the rules of
conduct in the context of the COVID-19 coronavirus infection pandemic.
If necessary, the Ministry of Emergencies can now release emergency information simultaneously to all channels of
the so-called first multiplex (digital channel package RTRS-1), which includes ten television channels: Channel One,
Russia-1, Match TV, NTV, " Petersburg - Channel 5 "," Russia - Culture "," Russia-24 "," Carousel "," Public
Television of Russia "," TV Center ".
By 2030, at least 90% of the population should be guaranteed to receive emergency information through warning
systems. In this regard, the Ministry of Emergencies, together with the Ministry of Communications and Rossvyaz, is
working on the development of such systems.
"In particular, it is planned to equip payphones installed in remote settlements with warning equipment. Currently,
work is underway to compile a list of settlements in which it is first necessary to equip payphones with such systems,"
the press service of the Ministry of Emergencies said.

What technique was used to capture the "radio hooligans" in the USSR?
----------------------------------------------
I will say right away that I myself was not a radio bully, I did not have a chance. This happened due to the fact that in
Yakutia, where I lived and worked then, there were simplified rules for issuing amateur radio callsigns, and besides,
they immediately gave the 2nd category. So there was no point in hooliganizing on air. But for those who read my
articles and subscribers, there is no need to explain who these radio hooligans are. You can only conduct a short
excursion into the history of this phenomenon. The concept of "radio bully" did not appear immediately. The "free
operators" themselves began to appear on the air in the late 50s ...

Rainbow Theft, 05/19/2020
Radio Center "Rainbow" of the Siberian Regional Center is one of the largest radio centers in the country since the
times of the USSR. In Moshkovsky district of the Novosibirsk region, on a land plot of more than 1000 hectares, there
are three radio transmitting technical sites, a complex of unique antenna mast structures and a residential village with
the corresponding infrastructure. Since 2014, a powerful radio engineering complex in two technical buildings has
been under conservation. Employees of the transmitting section, organizing the work of short-wave backbone radio
communications according to a special schedule, work in one of three technical buildings, live in a village with the
same name Rainbow. The fate of the specialists of the radio center is closely intertwined with the fate of the village
and the radio center, and therefore they are reverent and careful about everything that surrounds them.
Unfortunately, the vast territory of the radio center and the metal structures in the form of antenna mast and feeder
structures always attract people who are ready to risk their reputation and freedom for the sake of an attempt at
momentary enrichment.
On the afternoon of May 2, while walking around the territory of the technical building of the Raduga Radio Center,
the employees of the Office for the Eastern District of the FSUE Okhrana Federal Guard Unit of the Russian Guard
on the antenna field found damage to the technical site fence and traces of penetration into one of the antenna
pavilions, in which the cable for setting up and matching feeder lines was barbarously looted . On the technical site,
traces of motorcycle wheels and pipe drags on the ground were noticeable. Moving along the trail, employees of the
Russian Guard in a nearby forest belt found fragments of pipes of a damaged train and then followed the trail to the
alleged kidnapper, who turned out to be a resident of the village of Rainbow. Later, accomplices were found, two
minor residents of the Balta village of the Moshkovsky district. Theft suspects were transferred to police officers.
Assessing the damage, the employees of the radio center noted that the restoration of the equipment due to the
detected pipes is impossible due to the fact that they are deformed and technically unsuitable for operation, as well
as porcelain insulators. The cost of restoring damaged equipment is ten times higher than the cost of stolen metal.
Ignoring the information about the danger of penetration into RTRS communication facilities and possible
administrative and criminal consequences, young people will not be able to enjoy the warm May weather, the bright
sun and the riot of spring colors.

Radio stations in St. Petersburg are asking for help from Smolny.
The main problem that worries representatives of radio stations: the loss of almost the only source of income - adverti
sing. Due to the limitation of the work of large enterprises, the radio stations lost their main advertising contracts and
stopped placing paid announcements of concerts and other cultural events. According to the Director General of Our
Radio Elena Danilova, advertising revenue over the past two months has decreased dramatically - up to 80%. In
some regions, up to 100%. "Due to the fact that radio is a fairly technological business, large expenses are spent on
broadcasting. In addition, most radio stations have their own broadcasts, for which you need to pay salaries to
employees, "says Elena Danilova. According to her, almost all 30 commercial radio stations in St. Petersburg earn
exclusively on advertising, only a few have an additional source of income - those who organize their own events.
However, now the radio workers have lost this source of earnings. In an appeal to the governor, media
representatives write that until April 30, they assumed obligations to maintain jobs and pay wages, which can reach
up to 60% in the budget of the radio station. Now, in the absence of funds, the situation is getting worse. In addition
to regular expenses for salaries to employees, rent for city property, various tax payments, media representatives
spend about 2% of the turnover of radio stations on payments to the RAO (Russian Authors Society) and WIPO
(World Intellectual Property Organization) funds. A much more significant expense item, according to market
representatives, is strict contractual obligations to monopolists in the field of providing broadcasting services, - RTRS
(FSUE Russian and Television Broadcasting Network). The approximate amount of payments per month is about 500
thousand rubles per station - someone has a little more, someone has a little less .. "RTRS has different tariffs, which
vary depending on the transmitter power. Now they are not going to reduce them. Several schemes were proposed,
for example, installment payment: 3 months of payment are 50%, and then until December it will be necessary to fully
repay the debt. But where to get this money from is completely incomprehensible,"says Elena Danilova. In connection
with all circumstances, the radio stations are asking the city government to introduce tax holidays for them on basic
payments and rents, not to block the settlement accounts of companies, to cancel the procedure for issuing tax
claims, and to fully or partially compensate for broadcasting costs at all facilities of the Federal State
Unitary Enterprise RTRS "Until the end of the year, or at least until the end of September. Also in the letter, media
representatives draw the attention of officials to the possible participation of radio stations in government programs to
support the population. We are talking about government orders, thanks to which companies could receive budget
money on a competitive basis.

On the technical site, traces of motorcycle wheels and pipe drags on
the ground were noticeable. Moving along the trail, employees of the
Russian Guard in a nearby forest belt found fragments of pipes of
a damaged train and then followed the trail to the alleged kidnapper,
who turned out to be a resident of the village of Rainbow. Later,
accomplices were found, two minor residents of the Balta village
of the Moshkovsky district. Theft suspects were transferred to
police officers.
Assessing the damage, the employees of the radio center noted that the
restoration of the equipment due to the detected pipes is impossible
due to the fact that they are deformed and technically unsuitable for
operation, as well as porcelain insulators. The cost of restoring
damaged equipment is ten times higher than the cost of stolen metal.
Ignoring the information about the danger of penetration into RTRS
communication facilities and possible administrative and criminal
consequences, young people will not be able to enjoy the warm May
weather, the bright sun and the riot of spring colors.

==============================
Austria
-----------
Austria's first Russian-language information and music radio station, Radio RU, began broadcasting in DAB + digital
format in Vienna. This was reported on Friday in the leadership of the radio station. In the near future, in addition to
Russian-language musical compositions, the broadcasting of news programs and thematic shows will begin on the air
of the only round-the-clock Russian-language radio station on the territory of the federal state of Vienna and in its
suburbs. Residents of Vienna will be able to listen to music hits of different years in Russian, German, English,
French, Italian and other languages. It plans to broadcast jazz nights, rock Saturdays, and an original song on
Sundays. "Radio RU - for those who want to know and understand world history, literary and musical classics.
Already today the programs are in Russian, and in the near future - in German and English - about history, literature,
religion, music, fashion and many other things. <...> We will also tell about the secrets of unknown or, conversely,
well-known places around the world, as well as Austria and Russia, "the radio station noted. The radio station will
also devote programs to young listeners, talk about issues of psychologists and integration. Digital radio is available
on DAB + radios; it does not need internet.

Greece
----------
Voice of Greece.
In recent months (if not longer), Ivo Ivanov on the Bulgarian DX blog (https://swldxbulgaria.blogspot.com) has been
closely following the morning broadcasts of the Greek Voice at 9420 kHz. They should have news segments in
foreign languages, but the "trick" is that Greek technicians turn off the HF transmitter according to some well-known
law, and some news have time to sound, and the rest do not. In addition, at the time of quarantine measures, instead
of broadcasting on a frequency, a mixture of internal 1st and 2nd programs was broadcast, but it seems that now the
measures are weakened, and here again broadcasting.
He did not specify for the first time or not during the observation of Ivo - but on June 1, the Greeks finally managed to
broadcast news in Russian; it happened at 09:05. On YouTube there is a record:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eDl7Rp1gbxA
The news is short, only 2 minutes with a little. It's nice that they are read by an energetic Russian-speaking
announcer without an accent. In the old days, it was not at all like that. Curious: at the beginning, it is announced that
this is the program of the Greek radio and television Ert (exactly so, and not Er-te; in the original EPT, Hellenica
Radiophony Tileorasi), and in the end everything is correct: it was a news release of the Russian service of the Voice
of Greece.
They have a power of 150 kW, but the azimuth of radiation is 323 degrees, i.e. to Western Europe. At the height of
the day, I can barely hear the frequency of 9420 kHz. However, try it!

Announcement on the IRR about the breakdown of the transmitter.
For several days now I hear an announcement on the air of Interradio Romania about a breakdown
one of the transmitters in the transmitting center in Ciganesti. Declare that
Transmissions in Russian at 04.30, 13.00 and 15.00 are only on one frequency. But
at 13.00 they have been broadcasting recently on two frequencies, today it is also broadcast
at 9890 and 11940 kHz.

World Music Radio (DNK) - e-QSL (5840 kHz / 18.50 UTC / 18-05-2020);
На частоте 15805 кГц в С.Петербурге мне станцию принять (как это было осенью) не удаётся.
Stig Hartvig Nielsen объясняет это тем, что антенны для этой частоты направлены на юг.
Blog: https://qsl-review.blogspot.com/2019/08/world-music-radio.html
Вот выдержка из письма:
At present WMR is broadcasting 24/7 on the Internet and on SW 5840 kHz (from Bramming) as well as Sa/Su 07-20
UTC on 15805 kHz (from Randers).
Aerials used are a dipole for 5840 kHz (13 m above the ground) and a 3 element yagi beamned south for 15805 kHz
(30 m above the ground). The fact that 15805 kHz is beamed south means that very little power is radiated in your
direction, so this is why you don't hear it anymore.
Some 300 reception reports have been received for the transmissions on 5840 kHz (from Randers in 2018 and 2019,
and from Bramming as from 2020) from almost 30 different countries; 35 % from Germany, 9 % from Italy, 8 % from
Sweden, 7 % from the UK and from Finland, and 6 % from France. Almost 100 reports have been received for 15805
kHz from 29 different countries all over the world; 21 % from Italy, 14 % from Spain and 11 % from Brazil.

Sound of Hope.
At the end of last year, I corresponded a lot with I chun, sent about a dozen reports from video receptions. Each time
it turned out to be a signal not of SOH, but of China National Radio specially jamming this station. It interested me, I
began to compare - i.e. at the same time (using several web sdr) I tuned in to the CNR frequencies indicated in the
databases of HF broadcasting, and compared with the expected SOH - everywhere the CNR program was running
(which number does not matter). In addition, 1 kW from Taiwan with us? Here is the response of Mr. I chun:
I am I chun and from Taiwan. I am soooo much thank you for your reply.
But I listen to all your clip, and I still make sure there were from CCP interfere.
(They say there were Sound of China.)
It's so upset to us to get so many interfere from CCP.
They don't allow people get the TRUTH news from outside.
But we will still try our best to send message to China.
They need HOPE from us!
Hope to meet you on air soon ~~!
I-chun
He also sent SOH audio files, but it doesn't matter well, and there is no clear ID - there's nothing to cling to.
Last August, I also received the same e-QSL (from I chun), but much later, when I tried to get another confirmation, I
sent him my old report and his e-QSL sent again for verification - and he replied that he couldn't say with accuracy
that their station was accepted by me, i.e. Sound of Hope.
Such is the situation with SOH, and most likely, the one who is sending confirmation now is not very competent in the
issue of confirming reports. It's a pity.

About QSL
----------
I can name a few addresses of radio stations from which they will send a confirmation in any case.
The main thing is to send a report!
I once made a mistake and sent RR in general with other data and! received QSL.
Many people use it and send reports, knowing the time-frequency schedule, where
indicate: identification, news, comments, etc. ... you will not miss.
The main thing is to get QSL.
One of these addresses: yinglian @ cri.com.cn
Confirm any report!
As for SOH, in all cases I sent audio recordings. I haven't written for a long time
reception details, but only an audio file, with the exception of Russian-language radio stations.

From an interview with Nikola Tesla Colliers magazine, January 30, 1926.
-------------------------------------------------- ---------------------
With the help of wireless communications, the Earth will turn into a huge brain. We can communicate with each other
instantly, regardless of distance. We will hear and see each other, and the quality of communication will be as if we
are very close. The distance will not be an obstacle. Unlike the phones that we use now, the device of the future can
be carried with you by putting it in your vest pocket.
Women will achieve equality, and then leadership, not through the primitive physical imitation of men, but through the
awakening of intelligence. From the very beginning of history, the subordination of women led to a partial atrophy of
mental qualities, which, as we now know, the female gender is endowed no less than the male.

The SDR.hu web SDR portal is no more, but we have several excellent alternatives.
---------------------------------------------------------
In January, András Retzler-owner of the SDR.hu KiwiSDR portal-started requiring registration and a ham radio
license in order to access their extensive online database of SDRs.
Today, we learned of the site's closure. Here's the message posted at SDR.hu:
The SDR.hu project has been finished
I'd like to say a big thanks to everyone who joined my journey with this project!
I hope you had a good time listening on the site, and learnt some things about SDR. The purpose of this site was to
provide a technological demonstration for amateur radio operators about Software Defined Radio, and I hope this
goal has been reached. As this website was a one-person hobby project, with my tasks and responsibilities growing,
and my focus moving to other projects at which I hope to make a greater positive impact, I'm unable to further
develop SDR.hu and protect it from abuse.
Furthermore, I think this site has some good alternatives now. Nevertheless, in my opinion amateur radio receivers
should be shared with strict access control in the future.
If you have more questions, feel free to consult the FAQ.

SWLing Post contributor, Mark Fahey, shared the following message sent by Andras to all KiwiSDR owners in the
database this morning:
Hello,
You are receiving this e-mail because you were listing a receiver on SDR.hu in the last 3 months.
I wanted to let you know that the SDR.hu project is discontinued.
This is because I have to focus on my PhD and unfortunately I don't have enough time anymore to maintain the
website and protect it from abuse.
If you have questions, there's a FAQ on the front page: https://sdr.hu/
For KiwiSDR users there is another listing service available on the KiwiSDR website: http://kiwisdr.com/public (I'm not
involved with this one.)
Thank you very much for having participated in the project!
VY 73!

Alternative KiwiSDR Portals
Fortunately, there are a number of other KiwiSDR portals that do not require registration or a call sign. Here's a list:
http://kiwisdr.com/public/ (list)
https://ve3sun.com/KiwiSDR/ (list and map)

If you prefer another KiwiSDR portal, please comment with a link. I'll try to update this post with any new additions!
