GPB operates two radio channels: Sakartvelos Radio - Pirveli Radio and Radio Ori - Kartuli Radio, both on FM. The Radio Georgia foreign service was closed in 2005. Abkhazia Abkhazia is a partially recognised state controlled by a separatist government on the eastern coast of the Black Sea and the south-western flank of the Caucasus. It considers itself an independent state, called the Republic of Abkhazia or Aphsny. This status is recognised by Russia, Nicaragua, Venezuela, Nauru. The Georgian government, the UN and the majority of the world's governments consider Abkhazia a part of Georgia's territory, though Georgia does not control it. Under Georgia's official designation it is an autonomous republic, called the Autonomous Republic of Abkhazia. Abkhaz Radio (Apsua Radio) Abkhaz Radio has been on the air since 1992 broadcasting from Sukhumi, capital of the self-declared Republic of Abkhazia in NoWeGeorgia. It broadcasts programmes in Abkhaz, Georgian and Russian, and when not carrying its own programmes relays various others services from the neighbouring Russian North Caucasus region.

The Northern Fleet's Centre of Radio-Electronic Warfare has rolled out and tested its Murmansk-BN complex which are designed to suppress enemy radio signals at distances of up to 5,000 kilometers. By Thomas Nilsen, November 04, 2020. Read also Deployment of the Murmansk-BN complex was organized as a tactical exercise, the press service of the Northern Fleet informs. From its base near Severomorsk, the vehicles with a full set of telescopic antenna masts and control units drove about 100 kilometers, including via terrain roads, to a closed-down airfield where the runway was used to park the trucks and raise the antennas. The Northern Fleet does not name the location. However, it is possible to locate the exercise area. The Barents Observer has compared the video published on the YouTube channel of the Ministry of Defence with YouTube videos published by the paraglider community in the Murmansk region. Google Earth satellite images are also very helpful in determining the mountains in the horizon of the exercise video. The runway is Kitsa Airfield, an abandoned military airbase near the village of Pushnoy, a few hundred meters from the main road E105 between Murmansk and Olenegorsk. But most interesting, the Google Earth images clearly show that this is not the first time the Northern Fleet's Radio Electronic Warfare unit has used this particular airfield. Antennas, and the shadows of the antennas, are clearly visible in the satellite image. Four antenna-vehicles by the end of the runway, and anther four some 350 meters down the landing strip. Just like the Defence Ministry video shows. While the satellite image shows green leaves on the trees in the surroundings, the Defence Ministry video is late autumn. According to the press service of the Northern Fleet, the Murmansk-BN complex were deployed and defence protection was provided around. It is not said anything about if the system actually was activated. The powerful Murmansk-BN system is deployed at several locations in Russia, but two of them are dedicated to cover the Arctic region; this one on Kola, while the other is on the Kamchatka Peninsula in the Far East. The system is modern, first operational on Crimea in 2014. The complex deployed by the Northern Fleet's Centre of Radio-Electronic Warfare in Severomorsk was tested in the period from 2016 to 2019. In the spring of 2019, the system was announced operative together with the Krasukha-2 and Krashukha-4, aimed at countering airborne radar systems like enemy missiles, The Barents Observer reported. Together with the complex on Kamchatkha, the system could then make a shield covering the entire Russian Arctic. While the Krashukha systems can jam satellite communications, GPS signals and drone communication, the Murmansk-BN is a short-wave system for radio reconnaissance, intercept and suppress enemy signals over the entire short-wave range at distances up to 5,000 kilometers. That means its deployment on the Kola Peninsula in practice covers all of Scandinavia in whatever weather conditions. The distance from the abandoned Kitsa airfield to the Norwegian border at Jarfjord mountain near Kirkenes is 160 km, while the distance to Finland's border checkpoint RajaJooseppi in Lapland is 195 km. Spokesperson Ragna Marie Henden with the Norwegian Communications Authority (Nkom) says in an email that "no jamming or interference with any Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) are registered over the last few days." Since 2018, the northeastern parts of Norway and Finnish Lapland have been regularly troubled by GPS jamming, of which Norwegian officials say were deliberately activated by Russian military electronic warfare units based on the Kola Peninsula. Such long-ranged jamming happened during NATO's 2018 Trident Juncture exercise in Norway, but has also later jeopardized safety for civilian actors in the Kirkenes area, like search and rescue units, ambulance planes and civilian aviation at the airports in Norway's border region to Russia.

Concern: Harmful Interference to the Amateur Radio Service world wide by Radio Golos Rossiye on 7200 kHz (= exclusive amateur radio frequency) Dear Sir or Madam, Since February 1st, 2011, the Russian radio station "Golos Rossii" has been transmitting programs in Russian language from 0800-1500 UTC on the frequency 7200.0 kHz with very high power. Location of the transmitter is St. Petersburg Popovka area. This is causing very harmful interference to the Amateur Radio Service world wide. The Amateur Radio Service has an exclusive allocation in this range. As the range 7000 - 7200 kHz is allocated world wide to the Amateur Radio Service, these transmissions are causing very harmful interference to the Radio Amateurs world wide. See ITU Radio Regulations of ITU 4.5 and Circular Letter of ITU Switzerland CR/282 3.2! Therefore I ask you to leave the frequency 7200 kHz immediately. The Radio Amateurs of the world have the right to use their exclusive Amateur Radio frequencies without the very harmful interference of "Golos Rossii". Thank you very much for taking action!

Interest in them from the military appeared a long time ago, when it turned out that radio waves of such a long length (wavelength up to 100 km!) they can penetrate water and can be used to communicate with submarines. It is difficult to say who came up with this method, but already in 1943 a transmitter was launched in Germany Goliath, can send data to submarines at frequencies of 15-25 KHz...

During that time, over 900 articles have been written, that have furthered the art of DXing. Many of these continue to be relevant to the more general radio hobbyist, including articles about antennas, radio propagation, receivers and accessories, plus general technical information. Previously, those articles were available only to club members, but they are now available to all. Go to www.ircaonline.org, and click on the "Free IRCA Reprints" button to download your own copies.

The photo of the portrait belongs to the image fund of the Guayasamin Foundation, in Quito, from where it was sent to Radio Habana Cuba. The almanac will be edited, as in recent years, in Madrid, thanks to the solidarity of Gabriel Navarrete Martinez, President of the Spanish Asociacion for Culture and International Cooperation. The small work of art will be presented on a date that will be announced in due course, when the evolution of the pandemic makes it possible, at the headquarters of the Oswaldo Guayasamin House Museum, founded in the Historic Center of Havana by Fidel Castro, Eusebio Leal and the Ecuadorian painter . With this action, a well deserved tribute will be paid to the Historian of the City, who was a close friend of Commander Fidel Castro and the Ibero-American Painter.
