Lightning struck the tower and emanated from its antenna part into the atmosphere from 19:20 to 21:00. Television and radio broadcasts were not interrupted. On July 14, the Hydrometeorological Center announced an orange level of weather hazard in Moscow due to heavy rains, gusty winds and thunderstorms. The capital was caught between two cyclones: the Atlantic and the southern. The television tower's thunderstorm warning system went off at 19:04. And after 16 minutes the first lightning rushed into the spire. During this period, the Ostankino tower operated as the highest lightning rod in the capital and at the same time itself became a source of outgoing lightning. During the entire period of thunderstorms, the tower functioned normally, there were no consequences from lightning strikes. The tower's weather laboratory found that more than 85% of lightning does not come from the atmosphere into the spire, but vice versa. The source of lightning into the clouds is the antenna part. The electric field at the top of the 540-meter tower is much higher than in the surrounding atmosphere. This contributes to the more frequent formation of lightning and other electrical discharges such as atmospherics. This does not happen with conventional ground structures. Direct lightning strikes into the tower are possible along its entire height. Photos confirm this. Lightning strikes do not pose a great danger to the hull, since the tower is equipped with a powerful lightning protection system. Thanks to the thunderstorm warning system, all workers are removed from the outer balconies to the inside of the tower on time. In Moscow, there are on average 20-25 thunderstorms per year, in the area of the tower - up to 32. Annually, there is an average of 60-65 discharges into and out of the tower.

According to the stories of old residents, the towers have always been the hallmark of the village and at night they invariably burned with red lights. For many, it was a very sad moment. Many children no longer remember or did not see how it was when on the street. Soviet towers could be seen. The new part of the film tells how the transmitting antennas of the Radio Center were dismantled. Popov. How the whole era and a great part of the history of the village passed.

(http://proradio.org.ua/) PARTNER CHANNELS AND INTERNET ============== SHORTWAVE BULLETIN Issue no. 1954, 12 July 2020 edited by Thomas Nilsson, Sweden ----------------------------------------------- Other radio news WOR] Kerosene Powered Radio Receiver Kerosene Powered Radio Receiver! Yes, that is correct. There really was a radio receiver that was powered by the flame from a kerosene lamp. This is the story. During the month of May (2020), there was a series of messages exchanged on the internet, regarding the possibility of operating a radio receiver powered by a kerosene lamp. The question was asked: Is this story true, or is it just a fig ment of wild imagination? The answer is that yes, there really was a kerosene operated radio receiver, and it was ma- nufactured and sold commercially. Now back in the middle of last century, kerosene refrigerators were available in South America and in Australia where electrical power in rural areas was not available. These kerosene refrigerators operated with a burning kerosene flame; they cooled down the contents of the refrigerator though nothing was cold enough to be frozen. The well known American international radio monitor Don Moore states that he was familiar with the kerosene refrigerator during the era when he was serving as a Peace Corp volunteer in Honduras in the 1980s. They were occasionally in use in small country stores. Similar consideration back in the middle of last century was given to what is known as Peltier cooling; that is the pas- sing of a direct electrical current through a series of dissimilar metal junctions that produces a reduction in temperature. This cascade effect does indeed produce a reduction in temperature, but it is insufficient for refrigeration. Back in the era after World War 2, a radio receiver was manufactured in Moscow specifically for use in rural areas of Russia and also in Middle Eastern countries. This unique world band radio was also in use in country areas of Siberia and China. One of the major purposes for the production of this unique Russian made radio receiver was so that different peoples living in many widely scattered areas could tune in to the programming from Radio Moscow. An electrical current for the radio receiver is produced when a group of metal junctions is heated by the flame in a kerosene lamp. This mild current is sufficient to heat the filament in the radio valves, and to power a vibrator with an output of 90 volts. A quart of kerosene would power the radio for a dozen hours or more. The Russian kerosene radio receiver contains 7 tubes with four switchable bands running from the European longwave band, 175 kHz up to 12.3 MHz shortwave. The powerful 5 inch loudspeaker, with pushpull audio, can tune distant radio stations (longwave, mediumwave and shortwave) at a good room filling volume. The radio receiver is housed in an attractive commercially-made tablemodel cabinet, and it features two pairs of concentric rotatable knobs. The two concentric knobs on the left are for tone and volume, and the two concentric knobs on the right are for tuning and band switching. A separate vibrator with power cables and a voltmeter are attached externally to the console receiver. This radio could also be run with suitable size batteries, and also from local electricity if available. There was also a headphone jack, thus enabling private listening. This radio receiver weighed 20 pounds, and it was sold at a subsidized price for approximately $45. The unique kerosene radio captured the interest of people in the United States. The August 1958 issue of Radio & TV News featured a full page story of the Russian kerosene radio, together with three large photos of the receiver and its associated equipment. Radio authorities in the United States also showed an interest in this unique radio receiver. One particular radio company in Baltimore, Maryland procured one of these Russian made kerosene radios and studied it for its possible wider usage. The Russian made kerosene radio was not the first in using high heat to power a radio receiver. Similar experiments were conducted in England in the middle of last century, but they were abandoned as being too clumsy and too unreliable. In commenting upon this information the also equally well known Horacio A. Nigro in Uruguay stated that the Rus- sian made kerosene radios were imported into some areas in South America during the 1950s. Then in the 1960s, a small quantity were assembled in Uruguay itself. However, as he concludes, they are today no more than an unusual curiosity (Adrian Peterson, IN, script for AWR Wavescan July 5) (Via WOR, Glenn Hauser) Maps 1937 A pair of historical documents: maps and lists of broadcasting transmitters as of 1937 (LW / MW - Europe, SW - the whole world). http://www.toprun.ch/radio/images/Radio_Map_Medium_Waves/ (scanned maps of Ferdy de Martin from Switzerland, message originally in mwcircle, reprinted in the WOR forum) I do not know how complete these data are, but the USSR is present in them!

Two Latvian engineers at the WEF factory, Uldis Briedis and Janis Zerps, were developing a portable transistor re- ceiver in their spare time. After some time, the prototype "Speedo" in the housing from the tube "Tourist" was ready. He worked in the ranges of long, medium and short waves. This development successfully coincided with the over- stocking of the VEF warehouse with lamp equipment. The era of transistors has come and the population desired the receivers of the new formation. The plant management was able to evaluate the new development and in 1960 the first test batch of radio receivers was released. The name was invented by J. Cerps. "Speedola" in Latvian means "shining", and turned out to be a very promising and popular model, which launched the whole line of radios ....

IARU Monitoring System Region 1 Monthly Newsletter 6 - June 2020 edited by Peter Jost, HB9CET, assisted by Gaspar Miró, EA6AMM ------------------------------------------------------- News and Info's June 2020 was similar to the previous months. The most frequently reported intruders were mainly RUS/UKR radio war (see below) and the daily emissions from the Russian OTHR (over-the-horizon radar) Contayner. There was a significant decrease in both CIS12 emissions and CIS FSK radio telecommunications (all baud rates and shifts). The Russian-Ukrainian radio war remained on a high escalation level also in June. Almost every day we heard the massive spiteful and provocative broadcasts. In June they used more frequencies than before, affecting our bands very hard. It is a great annoyance and a big shame! The IARU Monitoring System (Intruder watch) has little opportunity to stop this radio war itself. Only national authorities can hopefully do something against with international complaints. It is very important and very helpful that many other member societies also observe these frequencies and making complaints to their regulators! We have to coordinate this well within IARU and act together. This is the only way we have a certain power. Peter Jost, HB9CET, IARUMS R1 Coordinator a.I. RadioReporter --------------------- RUSSIA: Radio stations say no to reducing power Due to the Covid-19 crisis the Ministry of Digital Development, Communications and Mass Media of the Russian Federation offered radio and television broadcasters the opportunity to reduce the power of their transmitters and to turn them off at night (from 24.00 to 6.00) in order to save energy. This measure is in place from 24th April to 31st December, 2020. However, very few radio stations have taken this up. They are afraid that reducing power and coverage area could cause a drop in the numbers of listeners and commercials. Advertising is already going very badly. Advertising spots have dropped by 70% and 80% in many areas of the country and the ministry believes that broadcasters' budgets will be more than halved this year (their revenues will be down by about 8 billion rubles)...

(Anatoly Klepov, Moscow, Russia) I am unable to prove whether or not the programme was produced by Crusader Radio. But I can answer the more general question. A number of missionary radio programmes have used simultaneous translation or duplicated the original by a sentence by sentence translation. A very prominent ministry in this regard was "Leading the Way" of Dr. Michael Youssef using both time in the programme blocks of stations like TWR and buying time for stand alone broadcasts. The latter was also the case for Russian. Google/chrome kept directing me to their UK-website. Looking at this website I got another proof how user unfriendly many websites are although they might look fancy.
