Currently, 58 broadcasting transmitters are involved in the broadcast of Radio Russia. The radio program signal is available in 290 settlements of the region. This became possible thanks to the implementation, together with VGTRK, of a program to modernize the broadcasting network. As a reminder, during the implementation of the federal target program "Development of TV and Radio Broadcasting in the Russian Federation" radio stations "Radio Rossii", "Mayak" and "Vesti FM" were included in the first multiplex along with ten TV channels. For their broadcast in the Trans-Baikal Territory, a network of 265 transmitting stations has been created.

Simferopol joined the broadcasting network of the radio station. The radio station, on the air of which world-class music sounds, will begin broadcasting in the capital of the Republic of Crimea on FM-frequency 99.1 FM. The frequency was won by the Russian Media Group, which includes Radio Monte Carlo, at the Federal Competition Commission on Television and Radio Broadcasting. "Joining the federal radio network Monte Carlo of the city of Simferopol is a strategically important step for the development of the radio station," says Maxim Poltoranin, deputy general director for the regional network of the Russian Media Group. - This is the first city for radio Monte Carlo in the Republic of Crimea, which, I hope, will become the start for the further development of the network in the south of Russia. We are very glad that in the near future world-class music will sound on the Cote d'Azur. " By the end of 2020, Monte Carlo radio had over 7.4 million monthly coverage. In the first months of 2021, Khabarovsk and Kazan joined the federal station network. Next in line is Togliatti. With the start of broadcasting in Simferopol, the coverage of Monte Carlo radio will increase by more than 0.4 million people. It is important to note that until 2019, Monte Carlo broadcast only in three cities, Moscow, St. Petersburg and Kaliningrad, remaining a small niche station. However, as a result of the decision of the management of "Russian Media Group" and as a result of the fruitful work of the entire holding, today radio Monte Carlo has turned into a full- fledged federal network, numbering more than 210 cities of coverage.

We need more investments, but everyone understands that the media does not pay off quickly. Let's say it took [the online edition] Meduza five years, [the TV channel] Dozhd even more.

Prima parte: Russia ---------------------------------------------- Di Franco Martelli (fmdxITALY) Iin questi mesi passati, complice il fatto che gran parte del tempo libero l'ho dovuta passare in casa come credo tutti, mi sono tenuto informato su cosa sta succedendo in banda OIRT (66-74 MHz). L'FM DXing (broadcasting) in banda OIRT è (sicuramente lo sapete tutti) l'approccio più semplice all'ascolto via E Sporadico per noi in Italia, soprattutto nelle aree in cui fra gli 87,5 e i 108 MHz la congestione di segnali locali non consente di ascoltare molto. L'ascolto in banda OIRT pesa per me per circa un 30% sul totale degli ascolti via Es che riesco a fare in una stagione, capite anche solo da questo numero il motivo del mio interesse per questa banda. Purtroppo le notizie che ho ricavato sono piuttosto negative e fanno temere per una rapida e quasi imminente "rottamazione" della banda OIRT in tutti o quasi i paesi (sono 4, sostanzialmente, quelli ascoltabili dall'Italia: Russia, Bielorussia, Ucraina, Moldova) in cui essa è tuttora in uso. La fortuna è che in questi paesi si passi dalla OIRT alla banda CCIR (e non dalla OIRT al digitale) e che il DAB+ sia in fase embrionale in tutti i paesi, quindi si può sperare che questi paesi continuino a trasmettere a lungo in FM fra gli 87.5 e 108 MHz anche se (come mi è stato fatto notare giustamente) le potenze che vengono impiegate in Fm sono piuttosto limitate e questo sicuramente non agevola l'ascolto a lunga distanza. Vediamo la situazione in Russia: RUSSIA: Radio Rossii si sta spostando in banda CCIR e gli spegnimenti degli impianti in OIRT effettuati dall'estate scorsa in poi sono stati numerosissimi. A quanto si apprende leggendo nel forum degli FmDxers russi (evviva il traduttore di Google!) e chiedendo chiarimenti al gentilissimo Ivan Abilev, in sostanza Radio Rossii ha spento (e sta continuando a spengere) ogni trasmettitore in OIRT mano a mano che l'autorità delle comunicazioni russa le rendeva disponibile una frequenza in FM CCIR. Il processo di switch off dei trasmettitori di Radio Rossii in OIRT è decisamente accelerato nel corso del 2020 ed è in corso anche nel 2021 perchè l'obiettivo della direzione di Radio Rossii è quello di continuare solo in CCIR. Chiaramente questo è stato rapidissimo da farsi nelle zone più periferiche della sterminata Federazione Russa, un po' più complicato nelle città più grandi in cui la banda CCIR non ha molti spazi liberi (peraltro la canalizzazione in banda CCIR in Russia è molto "larga": a Mosca la distanza standard è di 400 kHz fra un segnale e un altro, quindi gli basterebbe stringere appena un pochino qualche distanza per creare quei pochi spazi che gli mancano..... pensate invece a come siamo messi di regola in Italia....). Avendo già spento la maggioranza dei segnali di Radio Rossii ed essendo pochissime le frequenze occupate da emittenti che non sono Rossii (alcune hanno già switchato da OIRT a CCIR negi anni passati), a questo punto la possibilità di ricevere la Russia in OIRT si è drasticamente ridotta. Nella Oblast' di Kaliningrad, spenti i 65.9 e i 66.02 di Rossii, dovrebbero essere rimasti accesi solo i 72.11 di Radio Shanson. A San Pietroburgo sono 4 le frequenze attive in OIRT: Rossii su 66.3, Radio Peterburg su 69.47, Orfey su 71.66, Grad Petrov su 73.1 (vedi https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8_0rHHJiqg ). A Mosca -la cui distanza dall'Italia è peraltro ragguardevole- risultano attivi solo i 66.44 di Rossii da Ostankino, i 68.0 di Avtoradio, i 72.92 di Radio Radonezh. Per le altre zone della Russia Europea mi riprometto di fare una situazione Oblast' per Oblast' appena prima dell'inizio della stagione dell'e Sporadico anche perchè, come scrivevo, gli spegnimenti vanno avanti (e a quanto pare senza date pianificate in maniera precisa). Ma da quanto ho già visto numerosi dei segnali russi che sono stati ricevuti in Italia nel 2019 e nel 2020 risultano oramai inesorabilmente spenti. Questa è la situazione della Russia, ci leggiamo in un successivo messaggio per esaminare la situazione di Ucraina, Moldova, Bielorussia (e Lituania).

You will hear the incredible story of the invention of the Sverdlovsk radio receiver and its triumph at Expo 1958 in Brussels. In addition to the receiver itself, you will also see the Atmosphere-2 and Iskra radios from the collection of the Radio Museum. Senior Researcher Boris Koshelev tells how the first Soviet transistor receiver is connected with the radio faculty of UPI and NPO Avtomatiki, how the Sverdlovsk radio receiver in 1958 appeared at the fourth World Exhibition in Brussels and why it never entered mass production.

Fuer UK waere > 305 degr besser gewesen - daher beste Signale bei KIWI SDRs in NOR, SWE, FIN...... - Roseanna experimentierte mit stark komprimiertem Audio, was bei WRMI funktioniert, aber nicht bei Noratus. - der Audioeingang uebersteuerte durch die AF mit dem zu hohen Summenpegel voellig, hoerte sich dann wie ein Rauschjammer an. Den MFSK-64 Daten hat es aber nicht geschadet. Mal sehen, ob das QAM64 ueberlebt hat.

The epoch-making page of Soviet radio broadcasting was launched - jamming of "Enemy Voices" (Radio Liberty, Voice of America, BBC, Deutsche Welle, etc.) It lasted until the end of 1988, with interruptions during the years of detente in political relations. From the technical side of the issue, it looked something like this. In large cities, there were low-power jamming stations. In St. Petersburg, these were located on the street. Chapaev (the towers can still be seen), and on Oktyabrskaya emb. house 72 (towers and antennas are also preserved there). But since the effectiveness of jamming from such objects was no further than the urban area, there was a need for more powerful radio protection stations. In addition to jamming, they were also engaged in regular civilian radio broadcasting. In the Leningrad region, this was the radio center No. 11 in the village of Krasny Bor. After the end of jamming, many radio protection centers began to be used for analog broadcasting, including foreign broadcasting. After the global reduction of radio broadcasting on LW / MW / HF in 2012 - 2015, almost all the centers got stuck. Some have already become ruins. Concerning St. Petersburg. Jamming station on the street. Chapaeva was used for some time as a control and measuring point. The radio center on Oktyabrskaya Embankment worked in the medium wave range (low-power transmitters) until 2016, after which the broadcasting of programs ("Word", "Radonezh", "Orthodox Radio of St. Petersburg") was transferred to Radio Center # 1 Olgino, the object was put on conservation ... The last transmitter of Radio Center No. 11 was also switched off in 2016. He broadcast Teos radio broadcasts at a frequency of 1089 kHz, the center is mothballed. In the photo: antennas of Radio Center No. 7, Angarsk. https://vk.com/public158109176?w=wall-158109176_2055 Comments: - Radio center No. 7 Angarsk (Irkutsk region). http://www.novosibdx.info/radiocentr7.html - My father told me how, in the second half of the 60s, their radio center in the Kazakh desert (Kapyar) received an introductory message: to drown out some of the subversive "radio voices" on HF ... in Moscow and the Moscow region. Drowned out. Antenna - multi-lambda rhombus of a traveling wave towards Moscow, power 100 kW. An isolated case, the radio center was sharpened for the service of the space industry, incl. served missile strategists, but the task was completed. Yuri Kovalenko, Cherkessk (https://vk.com/public158109176) April 7. -------------- On April 7, the branch of the RTRS "Belgorod Regional TV and Radio Broadcasting Center" celebrated the 60th anniversary of its foundation. The starting point for the period of operation of the Belgorod television and radio center is 1961, when the Belgorod Relay TV Station was organized by the order of the head of the regional communications department as an independent enterprise. During its existence, the enterprise did not stop in its development. Regardless of economic and socio-political difficulties, the construction of a network of terrestrial television and radio broadcasting, modernization and renewal of broadcasting equipment continued. To date, the Belgorod Region has completely switched to a digital TV broadcasting format, disabling analogue broadcasting of federal channels. Now every inhabitant of the region, regardless of his location, can watch 20 digital TV channels for free. Traditionally, a solemn ceremony of awarding employees took place on this day. The driver of the 7th grade car Viktor Perestenko and the secretary of the branch director Elena Shemetova were awarded the RTRS Certificate of Honor for effective and conscientious work. Honorary diplomas of the city administration were presented to the leading accountant Larisa Denisova and the leading engineer Valery Korzhavoy. The result of long-term, well-coordinated and high-quality work of the staff of the branch was a letter of thanks from the administration of the city of Belgorod to the staff. Labor successes of the branch of the RTRS "Belgorod Regional Broadcasting Center" will continue to glorify the Belgorod region, improve its socio-economic indicators and adequately represent the region at the level of the Russian Federation.
