Radio broadcasting was included in the list of the most affected industries. State support measures allowed the radio broadcaster to survive, preserve their creative teams and save almost 500 million rubles. What was included in the state aid package? Concessional loan with the possibility of transforming it into a subsidy in 2021, as well as reducing the rates of insurance premiums and contributions to the Russian Pension Fund. The largest radio holdings, having received state support, in turn, extended a helping hand to their partners in the regions. License fees were reduced to 80-90% or canceled altogether. In addition, the agreements with the Russian Authors' Society and the All-Russian Intellectual Property Organization were revised in favor of the broadcasters. According to the President of the Russian Academy of Radio Andrei Romanchenko, these reciprocal measures have allowed many broadcasters to preserve the broadcast of their radio channels and save creative teams. rosvois.ru (http://onair.ru/main/enews/view_msg/NMID__80503/) * Magazine "Radio" # 06/2021 ---------------------------------------- In Russian.

According to the council, the decision of the NEPLP is connected with three gross violations committed by the radio station on the air. "In the first case, the radio was fined for disseminating rude and indecent expressions in the second - for calls for a military conflict and the overthrow of the state on the air of an analytical program. In the third case, the radio did not provide a variety of opinions in analytical discussion programs," the council explained. Radio PIK is one of the oldest radio stations in Latvia, which broadcasts in Russian.

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."

MOSCOW, June 24 / TASS /. This was reported to TASS on Thursday at the FSB Public Relations Center. "The Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation opened and suppressed the illegal activities of a resident of Simferopol, who acted in the interests of the intelligence agencies of Ukraine. For a long time, a Russian citizen, using special antenna and receiving equipment, received information on flights of Russian military aviation on instructions from the special services of Ukraine," the DSP reported ... The FSB stressed that this information "was planned to be used against the security of the Russian Federation." A criminal case was initiated under Art. 275 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation ("High treason"). With regard to the detainee, a preventive measure was taken in the form of taking into custody. According to Art. 275 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation provides for punishment of up to 20 years in prison. https://tass.ru/proisshestviya/11737549?utm_source=yxnews&utm_medium=desktop (RUS-DX # 1139) [WOR] Russian OTH radar 29b6 https://www.radioclassicsunday.com/column-rene-koolenbrander/27-mc-marc-zenders-22-kanalen-en-05-watt- vermogen/ All listening amateurs sometimes suffer from this, you are scanning the 40 meter band to listen to radio amateurs from other countries, then you suddenly hear a fast ticking sound on the frequency, and you naturally wonder what I have to do now? to grab? Chances are you've got your hands on the 29b6. And what is the 29b6? It's the container radar of the Russian army, and what does this thing do? He scans the Russian airspace looking for everything that flies or is fired from the so- called enemy direction to Russia, to intercept early, and of course to respond with a possible counterattack. The Russians even state that the American Stealth F117 fighter jet is detected with this radar, even a small drone is detected at great distances. ("Then it is time for the Americans to think of something else.") The ticking sound of this radar can appear on any frequency of the shortwave, and be very disturbing, because it sometimes depresses the ordinary radio broadcasts of the frequency, now our eastern neighbors do not have that much problem with this kind of disturbing broadcasts, and lie so don't worry if we can't receive Radio Classic Sunday on 3920 kHz once a month, because they are playing with their radar again in Russia. The 29b6's receiving antenna array consists of 144 antenna masts, each 34 m high, arranged in a 1,300 m row with a depth of 200 m. The maximum range is 3000 km to an altitude of 100 km. The observation sector is 240°. Actually, this radar system is very similar to the Duga-3, (The Russian Woodpecker) from the 1970s and 1980s, this 29b6 is the new generation Over-The-Horizon radar system and was commissioned on December 2, 2013 I will write an article about the Duga-3 radar in another column. In the pictures you can see what the 29b6 looks like and how it "roughly" works, and what the area is covered by the radar, in the video the sound of this radar, on the Tecsun Pl-660 radio, again this sound can we encounter everywhere between 0 and 30 MHz. In my opinion, shortwave is the only radio spectrum where it is really exciting, and where you can receive so much strange messages and sounds. In short, listening to the radio on the SW is a super fun hobby for everyone. I would say, a lot of listening pleasure. Also find us on Facebook, "shortwave Radio Lives".
