It is planned to launch it by the end of 2020 in order to take away the audience from illegal Internet sites amid the crisis in the advertising market. Market participants will try to block the latter with the help of the state. The radio holdings will become the founders of the Industrial Radio Player association of national radio broadcasters, Alexander Polesitsky, chairman of the board of the Russian Academy of Radio, told Kommersant. According to him, the association will be registered within a few days, and the founders will include the European Media Group (EMG; Europe Plus, Dorozhnoe Radio, etc.), Gazprom-Media Radio (GPM Radio ; Avtoradio, Radio Energy, etc.), Krutoy Media (Radio Dacha, Love Radio, etc.), Radio Shanson, confirmation is expected from the Russian Media Group (Russian Radio, Hit FM " and etc.). The Association will manage a single online player for radio holdings, said Mr. Polesitsky. In addition to potential founders, according to him, the VGTRK holdings (Vesti FM, Mayak, etc.) and Vyberi Radio (manages a network of regional stations), radio stations Zvezda and Komsomolskaya Pravda also confirmed their participation in the player ...

He has a TAI-43 military field telephone in his hand, and a reel with a cable on his back. The sculptural composition depicts a military soldier in the uniform of the seventies of the last century: standing on one knee and holding a military field telephone in his hand, he embodies maximum concentration - two-thirds of the success of a military operation de- pends on his actions. October 19 was chosen as the opening day of the monument - this is a professional holiday for all those who, in wartime, provide communication between various units. The sculpture is dedicated to the 88th anniversary of the communications department, formed by order of the USSR Revolutionary Military Council. The monument "Military signalman", designed by the artist Kuklin, is installed on Sheinkman Street near the office of the mobile operator "Motiv". It was this company that was founded in 1996 by military signalmen, who, like no one else, understood the importance of the rapid transfer of information from person to person.

Would be worth correcting it, at least 30 years after the collapse of USSR. But Gawar is also not correct, as the Village is actually Noratus...

Again they don't have E-QSL ... Mystery21 QSL. Dear SWL Pavel, thanks a lot for your nice reception report from Russia! We are really surprised to learn how many people can listen to us all over Europe and from Siberia to the East Coast oft he United States. Inspite of the World Wide Web people still enjoy listening on shortwave, and like us they are fascinated by the myth of wave propagation. That explains the name of our station "Mystery21". We have been on air for many years, but we are newcomers on shortwave. We chose the 60m band because oft the variety of propagation conditions: short distance in Europe during the day and DX after sunset. Our equipment is completely homemade and we are testing with 1,2 KW PEP from 8 relatively cheap mosfets and a simple inverted V dipole antenna installed at 25 meters above the soil. We use sound processing with an optimod pc card and with stereo tool. Our bandwidth is a little bit higher than with most commercial stations. We apologize for not having any printed QSL cards at the moment. Considering the high number of reception reports we are thinking about E-QSL. You will find further information and pictures on our facebook site. There you will also find our webstream during the transmissions. If you like, you can join our facebook group. Mystery21 - The Spirit of Music Stay tuned and enjoy listening on shortwave, especially on the 60m band. We are looking forward to hearing from you again on our new frequencies !

You can use it to translate radio broadcasts in foreign languages. For example, I recorded a video with the translation of the KTWR program in Chinese into written Russian: https://cutt.ly/5gDy4nm. The sound of the transmission was output to the PC speakers, and to the Translator it came through the microphone of the webcam. In addition to Chinese, Voice Translator translates other widely spoken languages: English, Arabic, Spanish, etc. Checked the possibility of translating less common languages: - translates from voice: Hungarian, Indonesian, Malay, Japanese; - does not translate from voice: Burmese, Kazakh, Kyrgyz, Mongolian, Uyghur. You can use this technology to determine the ID (name) of the station and the content of its programs. But, of course, the reception quality and speech intelligibility must be good.
