We contacted the program director of Nashe Radio, Anastasia Rogozhnikova, to find out what was behind these words. Our Radio will celebrate its 23rd birthday in December. For a person, this is a transitional age when everything around seems not what it was before. What happens to your radio station on the cusp of growing up? Since 1998, when Nashe Radio began broadcasting, a lot of time has passed and a lot has changed - the mood and state of people, their interests, the music itself, finally. We, of course, try not to remain conservative and change too. At the same time, throughout history, we hear: "Vooot," Nashe radio "is not the same. We thought and decided that it was necessary to lead this movement "Nashe radio is not that right". We have been adding young musicians to the playlist for a long time, but recently we have been doing it even more actively. It seems to me that this experience turned out very well for us, judging by the fact that our broadcast really freshened up. Actually, we get only positive feedback from the listeners ...

Unfortunately, NDBs are no longer a primary type of navigational aids in aviation, and most of airports and heliports all over the world renounce them in favour of more up-to-date and precise navigational techniques, such as VOR, TACAN, GPS. Nowadays UKKK has one concrete runway and equiped by pairs of ILS, GP and DME (one for each course: 08/26). There were also two pairs of LIM and LOM NDBs till year 2013, but only one "ZK" beacon is still alive there at the moment. Its signal can be received sometimes in Europe on the frequency of 733 kHz. Recently, I decided to visit all the abandoned NDBs and look at the current state of the buildings and antenna systems to estimate probability of reactivation of some of them. Also many sources in Internet give unreliable or even completely incorrect data on these navaids location.

At the present time, the central Asian nation of Kazakhstan is celebrat- ing the 100th anniversary of radio broadcasting in their country. It was in October 1921 that the first radio broadcasting station was inaugurated in the city of Orenburg, exactly one hundred years ago. The independent nation of Kazakhstan is the world's largest landlocked country with no direct access to the ocean, and it is the 9th largest country in the world, with a population approaching twenty million. Interestingly, a small section of Kazakhstan, about a hundred miles wide on the western side of the Ural River, is actually located in Europe, though the Asian section of their country extends across the territory of the Great Steppes for perhaps nearly 2,000 miles. Ancient Kazakhstan was populated by Asian peoples, and sections of the historic trade route known as the Silk Road traversed through their countryside. The Kazakh tourist industry is beginning to flourish and in normal times seven million tourists flock into the country, mainly from Russia itself. It was during the mid 1800s that the Kazakh territory was absorbed into the Russian Empire, and the city of Orenburg became their first, though temporary, capital city. Interestingly, these days Orenburg is located in Russia, not in Kazakhstan, though it has a large population of Kazakh people. It takes a full day to travel by bus from Orenburg to the border with Kazakhstan itself. In 1929, Alma Ata (Almaty) became their capital city, and in 1997, a modern and quite remarkable new capital city was designated, Astana, which is located in the center of their country. We might also add that the government announced six years ago (2015) the progressive implemen- tation of a change over in their written Cyrillic Script to the English Latin Script. It was on September 29, 1921, that the Russian government in Moscow an- nounced their plan to establish a radio broadcasting station for Kazakh- stan, and it would be located in Orenburg, in southern Russia, and at least 50 miles north of the border with Kazakhstan. This new radio station was identified under the Russian callsign RA25, and programming was in the Russian language. In 1929, this station was listed with 1 kW on longwave 468 kHz. 640 m band. The Russian government installed a second radio station for Kazakhstan in 1926 and the chosen location was Petropavlovsk, this time within Kazakh- stan itself, just 30 miles south of the border with Russia. This station was identified under the Russian callsign system as RA64. The first broad- casts in the Kazakh language went on the air during the following year on March 23, 1927. In 1929, this station was listed with 45 kW on mediumwave 857 kHz. In the middle of last century, a massive number of wired radio stations were installed throughout the Soviet Union, a system that we would identi- fy these days as cable radio. At the height of their usage, there were at least 800 cable radio centers in Kazakhstan feeding a total of anywhere up to a million radio speakers in public places and in the homes of the people. At the same time, a nationwide network of over-the-air-radio broadcasting stations was also developed; longwave, mediumwave, shortwave, and ulti- mately FM (European) Band 1 and (International) Band 2. It is known that home service shortwave stations were established in at least nine dif- ferent centers. The first listing in the WR(TV)HB for shortwave transmitters in Kazakh- stan is presented in the sixth annual edition, for the year 1952. A total of five shortwave channels is shown, each rated at 10 kW. It is known that there were two major shortwave stations in Kazakhstan, both near the city of Alma Ata-Almaty in the southeast of the country, almost on the border with Kyrgyzstan, another former Soviet republic. These shortwave transmitters were in use for Home Service programming, regional and international coverage, and also for the jamming of incoming shortwave signals from other countries. The usage of shortwave radio broadcasting for coverage within Kazakstan began in the middle of the last century soon after the end of World War 2. The known listings would suggest that shortwave broadcasting transmitters were installed in about a dozen different regional locations, and that the power levels varied from quite low up to around 20 kW. The two major international shortwave transmitter stations were construct- ed near Alma Ata, and both sites can still be seen on Google Earth. Their first major shortwave station was constructed at Dmitriyevka north east from Alma Ata around three quarters of a century ago during the 1950s and it contained more than 30 transmitters. The shortwave transmitters ranged in power from very low up to 200 kW, though fourteen of them were rated at 100 kW. At least nine of these transmitters were in use for program broad- casting, on longwave, mediumwave and FM. A second large transmitter station was constructed at Karaturk, and this station contained four shortwave transmitters at 500 kW, and two at 1,000 kW. The Karaturk station was also located north east of Alma Ata, just a few miles distant from the older station at Dmitriyevka. These two very large shortwave broadcasting stations near Alma Ata in Kazakhstan were closed, effective on March 1, 2012. There were several occasions when the radio programming from Kazakhstan was carried on other shortwave stations associated with the Russian Fede- ration. For example in 2000, two shortwave transmitters in the Ukraine, 100 kW each, relayed programming from Kazakhstan for the benefit of listeners in Europe. The Radio Moscow shortwave network also carried regional Kazakh programming on many occasions. For a period of about ten years, towards the end of the last century and into this new century, several international shortwave stations took out a relay from Alma Ata. Among these stations were Radio Netherlands, the Voice of America, BBC London, Vatican Radio, Deutsche Welle, Radio Free Asia and Trans World Radio. Interestingly, during the year 2001, Alma Ata also carried a relay of programming on behalf of the independent shortwave station WRNO in the United States. We congratulate Radio Kazakhstan on the significant occasion of their 100th anniversary. (Adrian M Peterson, IN-USA, script for AWR Wavescan, via wor Oct 20) Re: Kazakhstan Celebrates 100 Years of Radio History. I believe that Almaty also relayed the Democratic Voice of Burma circa 2004 on the frequency of 5905 kHz, as one of several sites used by that clandestine broadcaster. I made five trips to Kazakhstan from 2002-2005 years and a very large radio tower was quite visible from the Almaty city center (don't believe this was either of the SW sites in the article but more likely the domestic AM, FM and TV services).

Now programs in Russian are broadcast from 17.00 to 01.00 Moscow time. Earlier, Radio Eli had a morning broadcast on 1035 kHz from 06.00- 10.00 Moscow time. "Due to the sharp rise in the price of electricity by 4 times, we were forced to significantly cut broadcasting at medium frequencies of 1035 KHz. Now you can listen to us on medium frequencies only from 18.00-00.00. We are praying and looking for new funding channels to continue this ministry, "the radio station said on its VKontakte page. A 200 kW transmitter for broadcasting Radio Eli was installed in Kavastu (Estonia) in May 2010. The broadcasting radius is from 500 to 2000 km, which allows you to reach the Baltic States, north-west of Russia, the entire territory of Belarus and the northern part of Ukraine.

The hourly format of the schedule is also used by Vasily Gulyaev, but now, as far as I understand, he publishes it only in the Belarusian magazine "Radio Amateur". Even earlier, a similar database was on dxing.ru. There is still not enough information on some stations (Voice of Korea, Abkhazia, PMR, etc.). Kyrgyzstan has a very complicated schedule with numerous inserts in Russian, so maybe I won't add it.

End of October (2021) This week, letters have arrived from Poland, Vietnam and Japan. Envelopes contain paper verification cards: - The Polish editorial office of Polskie Radio confirmed the report for September 28, 2021. The frequency of 1386 kHz was monitored. In Moscow, the reception was good. In addition to the QSL card with the slogan "Hear the Difference!", The Poles have kindly sent three CDs with classical music, a USB flash drive, a charging block and a branded ballpoint pen. (IK) - In all likelihood, letters from NHK WORLD JAPAN continue to be delivered from Japan to Russia by sea. Received 3 QSLs from Russian service on March 7, 10, 11, 15, 2021. Reception at frequencies 1386 (AM), 5.985, 6.165, 11.790 kHz. The date the letter was sent from Tokyo is unknown. Along with the cards in the envelope, there was a message about the gradual resumption of the sending of QSL cards. A postcard titled "Smile" featuring a small statue from Hyogo Prefecture. (IK) - Received confirmation from Voice of Vietnam in French. I received a signal at a frequency of 11.885 kHz on August 9, 2021 in Moscow. The QSL card arrived on October 25th. (IK) Pirate radio ------------------------ * Recently on mailing lists, many have mentioned the 3940 kHz Bukhta Svobodnykh Voln (Free Wave Bay). More information could be found on their website. There is also a forum in which there was information that, at the request of radio listeners, the Bay will confirm receiving their programs in the form of electronic QSL. I sent a couple of RRs to their address and received eQSL # 4 and # 5. Address: 6783432 @ gmail.com (PI) - Well, that's not bad. Yesterday I listened to them on 3940, and the announcer announced that any broadcasting of their programs on SV and HF, VHF is just a broadcast of their Internet broadcast. Bukhta has nothing to do with broadcasting. It turns out that the Bay confirms not an on-air reception, but an Internet listening? (Serg Smol, "open-dx") - They emphasize that they themselves do not go on the air, but will confirm if THEIR programs were broadcast. I suppose that they simply do not advertise that they are broadcasting from their transmitters or agreeing with someone. For "Internet listening" I do not know. This is not what I do. Ask the site for feedback. (PI) * Received eQSL for relaying the program Bukhta Svobodnykh Voln at number 7. I listened to the program at a frequency of 3940 kHz for several hours. There are many different topics in the program, but as soon as I heard the identification - the Bay of Free Waves - I began to draw up a reception report, indicated what the program was about and what songs were on the air. Within half an hour I received a reply from an electronic QSL.

Good afternoon, thanks for the report! Visit our website Radio Pirates and the Internet radio Bukhta Svobodnykh Voln . I can't say for sure who, where and the power. We do not do this ourselves, but we know that broadcasting is carried out at 1575, 3940 kHz, possibly at 7300 kHz in the daytime, a couple of times at 5900 kHz (now there is no signal), it was a couple of times at 3100 kHz. At local stations on FM, pirates also take our programs. We create content in this style. Of course, it is dedicated to radio amateurs and those who monitor the broadcast ... everyone who loves and remembers radio. Perhaps, on our site "Radio Pirates" someday accurate or approximately accurate information will be given, but for reasons beyond our control, this is not yet possible. Sincerely, Vadim Komarov! Write to us, about what you would like to hear your wishes on the radio. or visit us on YouTube! " - "Thank you for the information on the newsletter, I will definitely subscribe. I think that some news from it will sound on our airs as well. You can not only publish information about the Bukhta Svobodnykh Voln but also visit our website, https://6783432.wixsite.com/website, we will be glad to see your publications on it and about it. You can listen to our radio on the Internet, by the way it is more modest in terms of attendance than pirate radio on the air. Surprisingly, the first surge in traffic on the Internet was after the broadcasts of the programs on the air on KV. We ourselves do not broadcast on the air, only on the Internet Bukhta Svobodnykh Voln http://id043199.myrh.ru/ I made several podcasts about radio pirates and radio hooligans, before that there were other topics on the history of radio. Free broadcasters liked topics about radio pirates and began to play them on the air. I myself have heard them many times, and in order not to listen to the same thing in a circle, I had to make more such podcasts. Now there are more than 20 of them and I will make new ones for the World Radio Network all on the same topic. Probably, they will include a story about how I became a radio pirate without a transmitter. I never expected that my small, humble project would receive such interest. There are a lot of reviews on the Internet and in the mail that people like it. They even began to help me with my radio on the Internet, they allocated a server, they create a playlist. Studying the topic of radio piracy in general, I begin to understand that it was the most popular, beloved and it pushed for changes and gave people a lot of joyful minutes. Thank you, Vadim Komarov. " (AK) * Received e-qsl from Radio Bukhta Svobodnykh Voln for reception on 29.10.21 / 05.00-05.30 UTC / 3940 kHz. Reception on Degen1103 - Antenna 40 meters. Signal from 3 - 4 points.

I haven't been on live broadcasts yet, everything is on record. I create podcasts that you can download and listen to on the Radio Pirates website - https://6783432.wixsite.com/website, and they are played by all and sundry. 3940 is the most powerful, about 5 kW, a truck on wheels with an antenna of 30 m ... it is possible that it is now somewhere near Chernobyl or in the zone. Perhaps they are former military men, but they are very versed in radio engineering and the transmitter ... But these are my assumptions so far ... ".

Video - 1:02 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ou2AxUQp-2o This is such a machine with an antenna and a generator! A small radio station that is heard both in Brazil and in Novosibirsk travels on wheels! Why do they need a dosimeter, one can only guess ... (Are they going to Chernobyl?) The radio expedition continues, perhaps for several days or weeks they will not be on the air ... let's hope for a good broadcast! 73 ... Vadim Komarov.
