(Victor Tsekhanovich, Kerch, Russia) MONITORING ============ * I drove to the sea to the northern pier after work, the cafe is closed - quarantine, Emergency, but what a beautiful, long forgotten pure broadcast on a car receiver, especially when the engine is off! Of course, Eastern Europe reigns - in the first place Romania, which just thunders across the entire range, I can't find another word still Moldova in Russian at 1494 with a news release at 16 utc, but Hungarians are heard worse, Czechs and Slovaks are also not far behind from western Europe a little Italy, Spain at 738 kHz, but mostly only Britain, which will soon be formally and not very much Europe best of all Absolute radio on 1215, but for the first time today I heard them on 1242 and 1260 kHz. Heard ID from BBC Radio Wales on 882 and also had frequencies from the island 693, 810, 1089 (with echo from synchronous network), 1368, 1341. I was surprised by the Arabic speech, I did not expect it, according to the mwlist reference book it turned out Egypt on 819, 864 and 1071, 891 kHz was also heard in Arabic and it seems Iran at 1566, I don't really distinguish eastern languages, but trust the mwlist directory, listened to Iranian radio at home, it seems yes, the language is similar. At 1575, as before, a mixture of Italians and it is not clear who from Russia the cherry on the cake - Radio Center from Riga on 1602, the first time I heard all this in half an hour from 15.55 utc (Vladimir Kazgunov, Liepaja, Latvia / "open-dx") * Accepted: 2869 Syktyvkar VOLMET 5448 PIP-Rostov 6617, 8939 Saint Petersburg VOLMET, Rostov VOLMET 8888, 11318 Syktyvkar VOLMET, Novosibirsk VOLMET Pl660 receiver (Nikolay-Alekseyevich Ozerov, Belgorod, Russia / https://vk.com/club3877182) * Mongolian radio on 882 and 227 kHz. On November 25, I was greatly interested in the signal at 882 kHz, the only one audible in the fourth hour of a sunny day. It seems like something like Xinjiang, but somehow incomprehensible. In the evening it was drowned out by the TMV India signal from Sri Lanka. Yesterday afternoon the frequency was quiet, and in the evening it was also with interference. But at times, when the reception was better, I heard the sound of Russian speech. Then in the list http://www.mwlist.org/mwlist_quick_and_easy.php?area=2&kHz=882 I drew attention to Mongolia. I think that there was no Russian language, just some languages in conditions of poor reception are somewhat reminiscent of Russian. In general, Mongolia seemed to me a suitable option, especially since it is even closer than Xinjiang, so the daytime passage can be explained. Of these parallel frequencies 164.209, 227 and 4895 kHz, none were heard. And tonight there was a transmission at 227 kHz, but the signal was weak. It remains for a long time to listen to 882 kHz and wait for a characteristic song, which was also recognizable by the melody and arrangement at 227 kHz. Thus, the riddle has been solved: Mongolian radio is operating at 882 kHz. Receiver - "Haykom-8500", antenna - wire 120 meters long. Vladimir Kovalenko, Tomsk, Russia.

Still there but weaker at 1417 vs running-H2O QRM. It`s TWR-India via Gavar, in Hindi daily 1345-1415, amid a total span of 1315-1445 in various languages. Aoki/NDXC shows Hindi until 1420 on weekdays, otherwise English until 1425*, extended to 1445* weekends (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** PRIDNESTROVYE. 11530, Nov 21 at 1527, Dengê Welat at S5-S8 in presumed Kurdish with long/short path echo. Annoying as it may be, a sign of improving propagation when a signal reach us both ways. Assuming this is not the Turkish jammer, distance from Grigoriopol`, Moldova to Enid is 5805 statute miles short, so long path 24900 minus 5805 = 19185. Difference between 19185 and 5805 is 13380 miles. At lightspeed of 186 kmiles/second, the echo delay computes to 0.072 second, or about one fourteenth of a second. Sounds about right (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) RADIO BROADCASTING IN THE RUSSIAN LANGUAGE =============================== ARMENIA ---------------- TWR continues to cut its medium wavelengths.

Few northern cities then had such a luxury. They played popular music, told local news, even made original programs. At first, there were only three full-time employees: editor-in-chief Anatoly Kalinin, correspondent Larisa Novitskaya (both, unfortunately, are no longer alive) and secretary Irina Korneichuk. For 15 years she worked at the radio, and then, when it became part of the city media holding, she moved there to the personnel department, where she still works ...
