(https://vk.com/dxing) * OVERSEAS RUSSIAN RADIO Radio stations undergoing boom, says diplomat TASS MOSCOW, November 13. /TASS/. ------------------------------------------------------ The number of overseas Russian-language radio stations has been growing over the past few years, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova told an international conference on the role of radio in the global media battleground on Wednesday. "Over the past few years, we have witnessed a visible, over 2.5-fold increase in the number of Russian-language radio stations abroad," Zakharova stressed, noting that this figure had risen from 175 to almost 500 between 2010 and 2018.This includes the former Soviet republics as well as other countries. "These figures clearly signal that the importance of radio and radio services will continually rise," she added.The diplomat noted that this has been going on in the midst of a challenging geopolitical environment. "In this sense, radio has taken on aspecific role, since we can cite numerous cases where the operations of a network of correspondents have been blocked on the territory of some states. We see incidents in which [radio] frequencies and signals have been jammed. This is absurd for the 21st century, but we do have such examples," the diplomat added.Zakharova also drew attention to increasingly frequent attempts in the West to block news content on the Internet, adding that incidents in which radio frequencies are blocked are isolated. "In this context, the role of radio as an avenue to transmit information also ascends to absolutely new levels that are yet to be understood," the spokeswoman stressed.According to her, Russian radio stations and Russian media in general are popular because in many countries this is "the only alternative point of view available in the media sphere." (Medium Wave News 65/07, December 2019 Volume 65 No. 7) * The largest regional conference in the broadcasting industry starts in Sochi on June 15. -------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------- The event will bring together at least 250 leaders and representatives of the leading radio stations in Russia.

For five days of the collection, caring listeners donated 1% of this amount. "Today - for the first time since the day it went live - we have to turn to you for help. Last year was a test for the whole world, but for us it turned into an unprecedented fall in advertising budgets - the station's only source of income, "the radio station wrote on June 15 on Instagram. The Hermitage is confident that they could cope with the crisis as the market recovers, but in April 2021 they received a bankruptcy lawsuit from the DIA. "We cannot promptly satisfy the claims, and this means that the radio station may cease to exist," the social network said. Therefore, on June 10, the radio station opened a meeting on the Planeta.ru website. The DIA, as the bankruptcy commissioner of the International Bank "St. Petersburg" (MBSPb), filed a bankruptcy lawsuit in April at Radio Kultura CJSC, which owns the Hermitage radio. The general director and editor-in-chief of the radio Tatyana Bazhanova is the wife of the former owner of MBSPb Sergey Bazhanov. His bank crashed in 2018. fontanka.ru (http://onair.ru/main/enews/view_msg/NMID__80386/) * The first sculpture-radio station in history will be opened in St. Petersburg. -------------------------------------------------- ---------------- The builders have begun to install the world's first sculpture-radio station in the cultural center of St. Petersburg Sevkabel Port, Sobaka.ru reports. According to the architects, the station will receive a signal from the wind and create musical compositions using the natural elements. The sculpture received the name "Letibitradio" in honor of the University "LETI" (St. Petersburg State Electrotechnical University), where the outstanding physicist and inventor of radio communications Alexander Popov studied. The base of the pedestal is a retro radio receiver. From it, 144 rods rise into the sky, which, according to the authors, will resonate with the wind. Artificial intelligence algorithms and pickup technology will transform sounds into electronic music that can be listened to live online radio or directly from a speaker in the sculpture's plinth. The press service of the university clarified that the architectural project is part of the LETI advertising campaign: such creative projects attract the attention of applicants. The opening of the sculpture "Latibitradio" will take place on 17 June. style.rbc.ru (http://onair.ru/main/enews/view_msg/NMID__80396/) * The Like FM advertising campaign has been launched. ------------------------------------------- "Listen to what you like!" This is the slogan of the advertising campaign of the most technologically advanced radio in the country - Like FM, reports OnAir.ru with reference to the press center of GPM Radio (VKPM). Like FM radio station has launched an advertising campaign "Listen to what you like!". It includes placement on TV, digital and outdoor.

It was this radio station that became the pioneer of such names as Aljay, Monatik, Maruv, Jah Khalib, HammAli & Navai, etc. An innovative approach to broadcast programming, the use of high technologies, cooperation with major digital platforms - all this impresses young people, on whom it is focused Like FM format. Millennials and buzzers need to be involved in the process, and Like FM provides them with such an opportunity: the fate of the playlist is decided by likes. In addition, only the best fragments of the compositions are broadcast on the air, which allows you to hear more hits in the same time. And in the spring and summer of last year, for the first time in the history of Russian radio, the presenter with artificial intelligence Alisa, a voice assistant of Yandex, worked on the air. The listeners also liked it, and received the recognition of the professional community - the "golden microphone" of the national award "Radiomania-2020". This radio "Oscar" became the third in the asset of Like FM. Having sounded on the Moscow FM band in March 2015, the Like FM radio station quickly conquered the capital's listeners, and at the end of last year began expansion into the regions. Technological radio is listened to today in Krasnoyarsk, Ryazan, Bryansk and in the city of Unecha. More information about Like FM is available at www.likefm.ru and in official accounts.

Further details on this excellent publication are available at www.thespectrummonitor.com). A challenging station to pick up on shortwave is Birinchi Radio, which is the public broadcasting corporation from the Kyrgyzstan capital of Bishkek. The station has operated on the two frequencies of 4010 and 4820 kHz for many years now. However, the 4820 outlet is more difficult to hear due to its irregular schedule and lower power. The other frequency is more accurately 4010.21 kHz just outside the 75-meter band, listed as 100kW and can be heard with patience and a good antenna! Depending on seasonal propagation characteristics, for listeners in North America, try between 0000 and 0200 UTC when the all-darkness short path takes the signal over northern Europe and Greenland to Eastern North America. Alternatively, try listening between 1200 and 1330 UTC, where you can sometimes have success with the help of grey-line propagation. For listeners in Europe and Asia, the station should be audible during evening hours. Transmissions are in Kyrgyz and Russian. Radio broadcasting in Kyrgyzstan began 90 years ago, starting on January 20, 1931 During the Soviet era, the Kyrgyz SSR broadcaster was largely a propaganda vehicle for Moscow. After the breakup of the USSR, the country gained independence and sovereignty, resulting in broadcasts that focussed more on its own culture, heritage, and national pride. Located in Central Asia and officially known as the Kyrgyz Republic, the country shares borders with Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and China. So, given its location, Birinchi Radio can often be heard playing a broad range of music with influences drawn from Europe and Asia plus its own rich regional folk songs and dances.

(Ivo Ivanov-BUL, hcdx via wwdxc BC-DX Topnews June 16) KYRGYZ REPUBLIC KYRGYZSTAN ON SHORTWAVE. (This post is an edited version of an article I wrote for "The World of Shortwave Listening" column of The Spectrum Monitor magazine - April 2021 issue. Further details on this excellent publication are available at A challenging station to pick up on shortwave is Birinchi Radio, which is the public broadcasting corporation from the Kyrgyzstan capital of Bishkek. The station has operated on the two frequencies of 4010 and 4820 kHz for many years now. However, the 4820 kHz outlet is more difficult to hear due to its irregular schedule and lower power. The other frequency is more accurately 4010.21 kHz just outside the 75-meter band, listed as 100 kW and can be heard with patience and a good antenna! Depending on seasonal propagation characteristics, for listeners in North America, try between 0000 and 0200 UTC when the all-darkness short path takes the signal over northern Europe and Greenland to Eastern North America. Alternatively, try listening between 1200 and 1330 UTC, where you can sometimes have success with the help of grey-line propagation. For listeners in Europe and Asia, the station should be audible during evening hours. Transmissions are in Kyrgyz and Russian. Radio broadcasting in Kyrgyzstan began 90 years ago, starting on Jan 20, 1931. During the Soviet era, the Kyrgyz SSR broadcaster was largely a propaganda vehicle for Moscow. After the breakup of the USSR, the country gained independence and sovereignty, resulting in broadcasts that focussed more on its own culture, heritage, and national pride. Located in Central Asia and officially known as the Kyrgyz Republic, the country shares borders with Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and China. So, given its location, Birinchi Radio can often be heard playing a broad range of music with influences drawn from Europe and Asia plus its own rich regional folk songs and dances. 73 and good DX to you all Rob Wagner-Mount Evelyn-Vic-AUS VK3BVW (via Anatoly Klepov-RUS, RUSdx #1137 via wwdxc BC-DX TopNews June 13) TAJIKISTAN Frequency changes of Voice of Tibet via Yangi-Yul site as June 14 1300-1305 NF 9876 DB 100 kW 131 deg to CeAS Tibetan, ex9864 1305-1310 NF 9864 DB 100 kW 131 deg to CeAS Tibetan, ex9876 1310-1330 NF 9891 DB 100 kW 131 deg to CeAS Tibetan, ex9896 1330-1335 NF 9864 DB 100 kW 131 deg to CeAS Tibetan, ex9896 1335-1341 NF 9876 DB 100 kW 131 deg to CeAS Tibetan, ex9886 1341-1400 NF 9876 DB 100 kW 131 deg to CeAS Tibetan, ex9899 (Ivo Ivanov-BUL, hcdx via wwdxc BC-DX Topnews June 14) UZBEKISTAN on 7589.9v kHz via RRTM Telecom Tashkent, June 10, 1400- 1500 UT via TAC 100 kW, 76 deg to NoEaAS Korean, listened very good via SDR Novosibirsk-RUS remotedly.

Some of the features of the new website are: - easy to use membership renewals with secure online payment - access to the full archive of MWN (all 500 issues) - access to the latest 2020 Editions of the All Time DX Heard in the British Isles - a new section for news and feature articles - a completely new and re-written library For the first time we also host the archive of the European MW Guide which was the most complete directory of radio stations in Europe. All the content is either new or completely revised and updated. Most importantly we want our website to be unique and that is why the features, photos, QSLs and audio clips are not to be found elsewhere online. That has been made possible due to the contributions from members - thanks to everyone who stepped forward. The new website has been carefully designed to work on desktop PCs, laptops, ipads and even smartphones. It has also been updated to improve security - you will notice the https web address & the padlock next to the url in your browser. Please visit the website OFTEN and try it out. Kick the tyres and explore to your heart's content. We have tried to make everything work perfectly but if you spot anything that doesn't work or doesn't make sense please let us know. We hereby declare the new website open! Stuart Heathcock and Steve Whitt (your development team) P.S. We'd love it you could help spread the word about the new website via social media and via your personal blogs. If you do please steer people to the big link above. (via WOR) (SHORTWAVE BULLETIN # 1978, edited by Thomas Nilsson, Sweden) - Medium Wave News 65/07 December 2019 Volume 65 No. 7 https://mwcircle.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Sample-Medium-Wave-News_6507.pdf * Cyprus. ------- The repeater antennas of Cape Greco in Cyprus are living their last days. They are planned to be dismantled in the near future, and a natural zone will be created in place of the iron towers. At the beginning of June this year, I was able to visit Cape Greco and take possibly the last photos of the transmitting center. Powerful relaying activities began at the promontory after 1970, when the French government signed an agreement with Cyprus to build a transmission center with giant antennas on the promontory. From there, Radio France International and Radio Canada International were broadcasting to the entire Mediterranean region, and subsequently Trans World Radio, Radio Sawa and Cyprus' Monte Carlo were broadcast on medium waves for Europe, Africa and the Middle East. With the cessation of rebroadcasting of these three stations a couple of years ago, the history of radio broadcasting in Cyprus ended. Today, the Cyprus Broadcasting Corporation, broadcasts from Cairo and Turkey can be received on medium waves on the island. + Photo. https://vk.com/radioko?w=wall-161080476_246 https://kolkeradio.blogspot.com/2021/06/blog-post.html (https://vk.com/radioko) * Short survey ------------------- In the summer propagation on 3955 kHz is very limited during daytime; so we might switch off between 0800 and 1700 CEST. So we want to know: Who is listening to Channel 292 on 3955 during daytime? info @ channel292.de www.channel292.de (Rainer Ebeling, Radio Channel 292) * The frequencies for the annual Midwinter BBC WS broadcast to British Antarctic Survey --------------------------------------------------------------- staff on Monday 21st June 2130-2200 UTC have been confirmed by the programme's producer as: 6035 kHz (via Dhabbaya UAE), 6170 kHz (via Ascension Island), 7305 and 9505 (both via Woofferton, UK).
