The launch of radio stations is part of a joint large-scale program of VGTRK and RTRS to expand the broadcasting network. VHF-band transmitters, receivers for which are practically not used by radio listeners, are being replaced by modern, FM-bands. Despite the fact that the radio stations "Radio Rossii", "Mayak" and "Vesti FM" are present in the digital package of the 1st multiplex, and are already available for 99.4% of residents of the Kurgan region, the FM band still remains popular, local You can listen to the news of the State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company "Kurgan" on the radio receivers available to the population or in the car. In the Trans-Urals, since April 2021, the Kurgan Regional Television and Radio Broadcasting Center (RTRS) branch has provided the broadcast of Radio Russii in the city of Shumikha at a frequency of 102.8 MHz.

And in the village of Kargapolye and the nearest settlements "Radio Russia" can be received at a frequency of 104.4 FM. In August, two FM transmitters with a power of 100 W were launched in the south of the region - on the Komsomolskaya RTS, not far from the Zverinogolovskoye regional center, and in the village of Kosolapovo, Tselinny district.

I am sure that most of you know his name, not least because of his collaboration with WRTH. Olle sadly passed away in December 2019 after long periods of illness. As he started DX-ing in 1955 and kept up his hobby over the years, Olle naturally built up a massive QSL collection. Here are some examples... Olle took a special interest in Russian local stations and the fact that he spoke Russian made reporting easier. Here is a letter from the Khabarovsk station on 7210 kHz. The map with the indication of the transmitter location was made by Olle himself. A quote from a letter in Russian on the letterhead of the Khabarovsk radio television center - "Dear Olle Alm! I confirm that you have received a radio station on a frequency of 7210 kHz. October 22, 1990. We wish you continued success. Thank you for your message. with the Khabarovsk radio program.

Initially (since 2015), the then still fledgling Radio Mi Amigo International only broadcasted during the weekends, on frequencies 6005, 3985 and 9650 kHz. But a cozy barbecue in the spring of 2016, which took place right under the antennas of the unique 'Sende Zentrum' in Kall-Krekel, Germany, became the birth of Radio Mi Amigo International as we know it today. That evening, the station presented itself to the world in a 3-hour live program, not only via the antenna's in Kall, but also with an extra100 kilowatts of power from a transmitter in Armenia: the 'Shortwave Radio Event of the Year'. During the broadcast, reactions poured in from all over the world. Soon, plans arose for a dedicated transmitter that would broadcast 7 days a week on 6085 kHz shortwave in the 49-metre band. Thanks to the great crew of ShortWave Service, on October 31, 2016, our own vintage SK1 Rhode & Schwarz transmitter on 6085 kHz went live. To this day, without any interruption, it is on the air every day, from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. [CET} Our website contains an extensive video tour of the wonderful Sende Zentrum in Kall, recorded by us on that memorable day when plans for our own station were born, 5 years ago.
