Russian Yandex map (wb df5sx, Vlad Salmaniw-BC-CAN, Ron Howard-CA-USA, March 16) Russia Returns to DRM on Shortwave. Russia has resumed Digital Radio Mondiale broadcasts on shortwave. The country originally aired the Voice of Russia via DRM a few years ago. The new service is tentatively called Radio Purga ("Radio Blizzard"). The target area is the Chukotka region of the Russian Far East. Analog shortwave transmissions once served the area, but those ended in the early 2000s when the broadcaster left analog shortwave. Chukotka is vast and the target audience only numbers a few thousand. Thus, shortwave is the only practical way to reach the population. The transmitter site, Komsomolsk Amur, used to broadcast Voice of Russia's analog programming and is now being used for the DRM program. The new service is a joint project between the government in Chukotka and the Far Eastern regional center of the Russian Television and Radio Broadcasting Network. Using DRM for Radio Purga has several advantages over analog shortwave. Radio Purga over DRM, for example, offers a static-free and higher fidelity signal. Studies have shown that DRM is just as reliable as analog shortwave over this distance via single-hop transmission. The broadcaster is considering transmitting two audio programs from a single DRM transmitter. This is something analog shortwave can't do. It's also planning on using DRM's ability to transmit short text message or a type of RSS feed (Journaline). DRM transmissions also use only a quarter of the power that analog transmissions do. "We have in these remote places 2,000 residents who need to be provided with communications services ... the Northern Sea Route also requires attention," said Roman Kopin, the governor of Chukotka, last spring when the project was initiated, according to a Russian press report. In addition to mariners on the Northern Sea Route, the audience includes geologists, miners, reindeer herders and hunters. Test transmissions started in August via different DRM modes and bandwidths to trial "hardware setup and determine signal acceptability," with the goal of covering over 95% of the area. Programming consists of a music loop and has been heard as far away as the United States. As of press time the broadcaster was still carrying out transmission tests but regular programing is expected to begin sometime in the next few months. One of shortwave's greatest strengths has always been its ability to communicate to hard-to-reach locations. Radio Purga's audience is spread over an immense, remote region. The resumption of shortwave via DRM will provide the population with a communications lifeline in both audio and text.

Now it is Popov Street. One central program and one regional program could be heard on the air. During the daytime, broadcasts were carried out for listeners of the regional center and district cities. At night, communication was necessary for conducting all-Union and regional roll calls. Most of the time, the central program was broadcast from a 10 kW transmitter at an average wavelength of 324 m. Signals from a powerful new station were received from Severomorsk to the Red Sea. On November 7, 1957, the radio television center carried out the first test transmission of a television signal from a 20 W transmitter in Rodniki. In 1958-1959, the radio television center put into operation six low-power television repeaters in Komsomolsk, Yuzha, Kineshma, Rodniki, Vichuga and Yuryevets. On January 30, 1977, a station in Rodniki with a mast 330 m high and weighing 380 tons began regular broadcasting of Central Television in the meter range. In 2001, the radiotelecentre became part of the RTRS structure. On December 3, 2009, the Russian government approved the federal target program "Development of television and radio broadcasting in the Russian Federation for 2009-2018". She determined the stages and terms of the country's transition to digital technologies in television broadcasting. In 2013, the branch of the RTRS "Ivanovskiy ORTPTS" launched digital terrestrial television in Ivanovo, Puchezh and Yuryevets. On November 14, 2014, a 10 kW Harris digital television transmitter began broadcasting in Rodniki. It provided 80% of the residents of the Ivanovo region with free access to 10 all-Russian compulsory public TV channels and three radio stations of the first multiplex. In 2017-2018, the branch built and launched 10 more facilities in the Ivanovo region. This increased the coverage of 20 digital TV channels in the region to 99% of residents. On April 15, 2019, the Ivanovo Region turned off analog broadcasting of federal TV channels and switched to digital broadcasting. The Ivanovo branch of the RTRS cooperates with universities and colleges of the region. Students undergo practical training in the subdivisions of the radio television center, learn how to handle modern television and radio broadcasting equipment, and get acquainted with digital broadcasting technologies. The branch employs graduates of the Ivanovo State Power Engineering University, the Ivanovo Power Engineering College, the Ivanovo Radio Technical Boarding School. For merits in the field of radio communications, radio engineering and mass communications, 15 active employees of the branch were awarded honorary titles, departmental awards, commendations and certificates. Four were awarded the badge "Honorary Radio Operator", two were awarded the medal "Veteran of Labor", one was awarded the medal of the Order of Merit to the Fatherland, II degree. The staff of the branch is constantly improving technical literacy, equipping the shops with modern means of measuring and setting, equipment redundancy, and increases the reliability of power supply for continuous broadcasting of television and radio programs. The branch plays an important role in the prevention and elimination of emergencies and fire safety in the region. Together with the government of the Ivanovo region and the regional department of the Ministry of Emergency Situations, the radio television center notifies the residents of the region about emergency situations via television and radio channels.

This was reported on Friday (April 16) on the media website. According to the statement, the Moscow branch is asking the ECHR "to apply interim measures ordering the Russian Federation to refrain from executing 520" administrative protocols "that it has written or threatened to [write out] against the media since January 2021."
