An interregional radio relay race will also take place, which will begin with the scientist's house-museum in Krasnoturyinsk. "Just this weekend, we have planned a small radio expedition with schoolchildren, in which they will practice the practical skills of installing antennas, masts, connecting receiving and transmitting transceivers and, of course, working on the air. <...> We launched the first radio expedition not so long ago, in 2019, we went with the students of the Popov URTK and schoolchildren to Lake Peschanoe in the suburb of Yekaterinburg - this was the first all-Russian youth radio expedition. Today we plan to develop and transform this experience, first of all, with military-patriotic clubs, they are specialized in this topic, "he said. And about. Andrei Shabrov, head of the regional branch of the Union of Radio Amateurs of Russia, added that in honor of the 162th anniversary of the radio's creator, an interregional relay race will be held with the transmission of the Popov 162 signal.

(Rumen Pankov, Sofia, Bulgaria) About broadcasting from India. --------- Hello dear colleagues in the radio hobby! I would like to draw your attention to the situation with All India Radio in Russian. After the suspension of broadcasting from March 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic, the editorial office went to work remotely. Since December 17, the publication of news and comments on the official website of the Russian service has been stopped. Many radio services have already resumed their work in one format or another. Also in January, the resumption of the broadcasting of the Russian service (and in the DRM format) was announced, which in the end never took place. A group of enthusiasts, who are not indifferent to Russian-language broadcasting, proposed to write an appeal to the leadership of All India Radio demanding the resumption of broadcasting, and in analogue format. The attached file contains the text of the appeal. It is proposed that an appeal to not indifferent listeners "sign" by sending their name, surname, e-mail to the following e-mail: save-air-russian@yandex.ru P.s. In the past, a similar case was successful (with a change in the broadcasting frequency of the Russian service). There is a hope that the radio management, having seen the appeal and the number of subscribers, will also meet the radio listeners halfway. The preliminary end of the collection of signatures on March 28, 2021. Please facilitate the dissemination of information. All the best! (Victor Varzin, Leningradskaya oblast, Kommunar, Russia / "deneb-radio-dx" & "open-dx") - Dear representatives of the AIR management! A group of radio listeners from Russia and other countries appeals to you the former Soviet Union. We are concerned about the fate of the unit Russian service All India Radio, which was suspended in March 2020 at the time of the COVID-19 pandemic. Many services have already resumed their work in one format or another. The resumption of the Russian service of your radio station was also announced. However, the return to the air did not take place (according to some sources, due to for the shortage of employees in the state). It seems to us that the leadership of AIR does not pay enough attention to the Russian service, and we seriously fear that that in such conditions, it may soon be closed. At the meetings of our politicians, the importance of strengthening friendship and interstate cooperation of our countries. We believe that All India Radio is one of the main conductors of such cooperation, introducing listeners, as with culture, and with the news of India, and most importantly - referring to the target audience in its language. We also ask you to take into account that the transfer of broadcasting to the DRM format will sharply narrow the circle your listeners. The vast majority of us listen to radio on shortwave in analog format (AM). The reason is in the absence of affordable DRM receivers market. We mainly use conventional radios, and they are designed only for analog signals. Until recently, for many years on the waves of All India Radio, we listened to newscasts from Delhi, reviews of Indian newspapers, beautiful songs from Indian films and music at the request of radio listeners. Don't let this valuable connection be destroyed! We hope very much soon again to hear on the air your favorite programs of All India Radio in Russian language. We believe that you will show professionalism and be able to solve the question is positive. Thank you! We attach the names and contacts of the listeners to this letter, who expressed their support for this appeal. = = Dear AIR executives, This petition comes from a group of radio listeners in Russia, other countries of the former Soviet Union and beyond. We are concerned about the situation of the All India Radio Russian Service, which was suspended in March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. By now, many AIR language services have already resumed their broadcasts. The resumption of the Russian Service was declared, too, but it didn't take place yet. (That's because of insufficient staffing level, as some media tell us.) We are afraid that AIR senior management doesn't pay much attention to the Russian Service, and we really fear that Russian broadcasts may be ceased in this scenario. When meeting each other, politicians of our countries always stress the importance of further steps towards strengthening of friendship and cooperation. In our opinion, All India Radio is one of the main players in the cooperation process, in line with its mission to introduce listeners to both the culture and the news of India -and most importantly, to approach to the target audience in their mother language. Please also keep in mind that using the DRM transmission mode would drastically restrict the number of potential listeners. The vast majority of us listen to the shortwave radio in analog mode, i.e. AM. That's because of the lack of affordable DRM receiving equipment in our markets. There are only conventional units, and they are only capable of analog radio reception. For many years until recently, we were listening to newscasts from New Delhi, Indian press reviews, beautiful songs from Indian films and music at our requests. Please don't let such a fruitful connection to break! We sincerely hope to hear our favorite AIR Russian programs back on the air soon. Relying on your comprehensive approach, we believe that the positive solution can be found as soon as possible. Thank you! Names and contact details of signatories to this petition are attached.

The report was sent to one of the employee's personal addresses in the domain ... @ encompass.co.ac (don't remember where I got it) - but most likely to do this not worth it: employees change, and the broadcast station and company The Encompass, which runs it, remain. The answer, anyway, came with their well-known collective address Ops.Asc [at] encompass.co.ac. Waited for an answer less than 4 hours. Signature: Shannon Yon, Trainee Communications Technician. QSL is remarkable for its information content; it contains a mountain of information about the island and about stations (transmitters, antennas, power supply). With pictures! Format - 2 A4 pages; it is assumed that they will be printed on 2 sides of the sheet and fold the sheet in three. http://dxsignal.ru/qsl/new/AscRS_210316.pdf (DM) India --------- * Got greetings from 19 years from AIR: from 08/14/19 for 9380 and 9865 kHz.

PBS Hulun Buir The People's Radio Station Hulun Buir from Inner Mongolia (PRC) broadcasts on short and medium wave in Mongolian and Chinese. News, music, programs on the theme of culture and society sound on the air. The first station from the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region began broadcasting on November 1, 1950, and became the first of its kind to broadcast to an ethnic minority in the new China. In 1970, this radio station received the call sign "People's radio station Hulun-Buira". Today the radio station broadcasts around the clock at a frequency of 6.080 kHz and at a medium wavelength of 954 kHz. The signal spreads far beyond Inner Mongolia. The station can be received in Siberia and the Far East. True, the transmitter power is small 10 kW. Received the signal on March 18 at 01.50-02.30 UTC in Ulan-Ude at a frequency of 6.080 kHz. Poor to moderate quality. There was little interference from an adjacent frequency. Signal decays were quite frequent. The program includes music, a news release and a program on contemporary music of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region (PRC).
