Mtsensk. ------------------------------------------ Here's a problem for you: what are the names of the inhabitants of Mtsensk? At first we assumed something like: Mtsensk, Mtsensk and even Mtsenskburgers. But everything is by, right - AMCHANES! Priceless Amerians, we are glad to inform you that Radio VANYA is already broadcasting on your frequency 102.8. Tune in to our wave!

Myeldino (Ust-Kulomsky district, Komi Republic) will start operating the transmitter of the radio station "Radio Russii" at a frequency of 101.7 MHz. This will be the 41st transmitter of the new radio network. With its commissioning, the RTRS branch "RTPC of the Komi Republic" will complete the construction of a radio broadcasting network in the FM range. The radio station "Radio Russii" with regional inserts from the studio of the State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company "Komi Gor" will become available for 340 settlements of the Komi Republic with a population of about 736 thousand people (more than 89% of the population of the republic). You can receive a radio station in the region at frequencies of 87.5 - 108 MHz. This event can be confidently considered a kind of gift from RTRS for the centenary of the Komi Republic, which will be celebrated in 2021. In recent years, RTRS has implemented a number of ambitious projects to develop a television and radio broadcasting network throughout the Russian Federation. In the Komi Republic, 87 digital terrestrial television broadcasting facilities were built and put into operation. For 98% of the region's residents, 20 television and 3 radio channels as part of 2 digital multiplexes have become available in full in high quality and without a monthly fee. The built digital television network allowed the development of radio broadcasting networks. The joint project of the All-Russian State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company and RTRS provided an opportunity to significantly increase the audience of radio listeners of the radio channel "Radio Russii" and convey the "Voice of Komi" - "Komi Gor" to almost all corners of the republic. "It was very difficult to carry out such a program on the territory of the republic. We had to deliver dozens of sets of equipment to remote, inaccessible broadcasting facilities and install them in a short time in various, sometimes unfavorable weather conditions in our harsh region. The employees of the branch had to face many difficulties: complicated transport logistics, especially in the Usinsk and Ust-Tsilemsky districts, the lack of contractors - due to the worsening epidemiological situation and the ban on interregional movements, installers from Altai could not come to perform installation work. But the high professionalism and dedication of our employees allowed us to complete all work on time, in full and with good quality on their own, "said Sergey Kolpakov, director of the RTRS branch of the RTPC Republic of Komi. The transition to the FM band is primarily associated with a wide variety and availability of devices that receive these frequencies: stationary and portable music centers, radios, car radio and many other devices. The signal quality in the FM band exceeds the previously used broadcasting standard and maximizes the possibilities of radio broadcasting, has a good reception range.

In September 2020, the TKR-FM radio channel appeared on the air in Ryazan. In order to achieve the maximum possible broadcasting coverage by the TV and radio company Ryazansky Krai and the Ryazan Regional Broadcasting Center, an agreement of intent was signed in August 2020, according to which the RTRS branch Ryazan Regional Broadcasting Center undertook in 2021 to build a broadcasting network of the TKR-FM radio channel out of 16 - these transmitting stations using the objects of the terrestrial digital television and radio broadcasting network. The project was implemented in 3 stages, already in April 2021, three transmitters began broadcasting - in Ryazhsk, r. Miloslavskoe and s. Mosolovo, Shilovsky district. The second stage was implemented in July, and from October 18, 2021, all 16 transmitters were put into operation, ensuring the reception of the TKR-FM radio channel for almost the entire population of the Ryazan region. Content of the program: information and entertainment, including local news, reports with famous people, humorous programs, the transmission of musical works, sports programs. This allows the residents of the Ryazan region to more fully participate in the public life of the region.

The schoolchildren went on an excursion to the PS-3 transmitting station in the town of Radiostroy near Syktyvkar, which was completely decommissioned from January 1, 2021. There, the "Quantorians" not only got acquainted with the history of radio broadcasting, but also examined the equipment of powerful radio broadcasting and trunk radio communication, which had been used there for a long time. During the excursion, all the equipment was still preserved at the transmitting station, including the Czechoslovak- made Tesla company, which provided radio broadcasting of the Radio Yunost programs at medium waves (the transmitter power was 10 kW), Radio Russia at medium waves (transmitter power was 50 kW) and equipment of domestic production - 150 kW DSV-150 "Storm" for broadcasting programs of "Radio Russia" on long waves with regional inserts and less powerful, represented by trunk communication transmitters " VYAZ "," Cyclone-M "and PKM-5, which worked on gas-discharge and vacuum tubes used to amplify the radio signal. In 2015, for economic reasons, the broadcasting of Radio Russia on medium and long waves was terminated by the decision of the All-Russian State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company (VGTRK). Radio communication and powerful radio broadcasting in the country and in the Komi Republic did not receive further development. The success of the excursion was largely ensured by the excursion - a competent and experienced radio engineer Vladimir Vladimirovich Matveev, who for a long time worked at the station in engineering and technical positions, and is now on a well-deserved rest. For many years of conscientious work at the enterprise in 2020, he was awarded the insignia of the Komi Republic "Labor Valor".

I'll leave an ellipsis ... - I am sincerely glad that I found the center alive in 2019. It is impossible to forget this.

The commission satisfied the collective appeal of residents to the head of Izhevsk, Oleg Bekmemetyev. Among the arguments was the fact that radio "Adam" (104.5 FM), whose studio is located a few tens of meters from the specified stop, is the only city station, and its daily audience exceeds 70 thousand people. "All the information that sounded on the air: news, morning and evening shows, line outlets, is dedicated to Izhevsk. These are city events, emergency situations, the situation on city roads, cultural events, etc. If something happens in the city, residents of Izhevsk call and write to radio "Adam", send photos and videos from the scene, after which this information is quickly heard on the air of the radio, "the text of the appeal says. In addition, radio "Adam" regularly implements social and charitable ("Marathon of Kindness", "Christmas tree for everyone"), cultural ("Voice of Izhevsk") projects, maintains city headings ("On foot across Izhevsk", "Lost and Found"). After the official approval of the decision, it is necessary to replace the pointers, as well as make changes to the schemes of transport companies. The company will cover all the costs of renaming. izhlife.ru (http://onair.ru/main/enews/view_msg/NMID__81581/) * History.

Radio Free Waves Bay on 3940 kHz. A Russian language pirate station called Radio Free Waves Bay has been heard regularly across Europe in the evenings on 3940 kHz [see logs above-ed]. It had been suggested by some sources that the station was located in Smolensk in western Russian, between Moscow and the border with Belarus. But a posting on the Ukrainian DX Blog says TDoA results point to a site in northern Belarus for both 3940 and a medium wave outlet on 1575 kHz https://udxb.blogspot.com/ (TDoA = "Time Distance of Arrival", a technique used to try and pinpoint a station's location using receivers in different sites) It has also been reported that station rebroadcasts Russian-language material such as podcasts and other material from the internet, some of it is radio-related while other material has been political. Also Western and Russian music has been heard on the station. It is thought the power could be up to 2kW. A DXer in St Petersburg has received an eQSL from the Free Waves Bay. The station has a web address of https://id043199.myrh.ru and email address given as 6783432@gmail.com http://qsl-review.blogspot.com/2021/10/ra- dio-free-waves-bay.html For many years Russian "hooligan" stations have been heard around 3100 kHz with QSOs, music and other chat. But Free Waves Bay has moved into a more higher profile location on the edge on the 75 metre broadcast band where more people are likely to hear it. Another Russian station called Radio Gromel was also reported on 3920 USB last month playing a mix of Russian and Western music, reported by DXers on the HF Underground forum. https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,87695.0.html (Paul Watson) --- Allen Dean adds: The Russian pirate station Radio Free Waves Bay continues to be heard quite regularly during the evenings on 3940 kHz.

One of the few in the countries of the former USSR who has retained its activities to this day. Since 2007, the owner of the transmitting facility is Russia - FSUE RTRS ("Russian Television and Radio Broadcasting Network") It is located near the village of Mayak, Grigoriopol region of the PMR. It is a town-forming enterprise for the village. In the best years, the center's workload for medium-wave and short-wave broadcasting was 23 hours a day. Nowadays, albeit with an incomplete load, the center is alive and the transmissions from its antennas sound on the air. There are various antenna feeder systems in the center, but the most famous is the swivel antenna for short waves, built in 1980 and in use today. The antenna can transmit power of 1000 kW (1 MW) through itself and work anywhere in the world. The antenna's sister in Transnistria was in Bulgaria (Parsko radio center) Dismantled, like the radio center itself, in 2012. Broadcasting on medium waves: 621 kHz - Radio Prednestrovie (Radio 1 plus) 999 kHz / 1548 kHz - Transworld Radio (broadcasts in different languages) 1413 kHz - Vesti-fm It will not be difficult to hear these transmissions on an ordinary receiver. The center employs excellent specialists who maintain the equipment at a decent level. Medium-wave broadcasting from the center can be clarified here - ..

Interesting features of recent times: - from August 31, audio broadcasts in Russian. not even laid out on the site (!) - in my opinion, for the first time in history, they did not update the schedule for the new season - the summer is still hanging - there are repetitions of thematic programs - cancellation of MW broadcasting through Xinjiang (1323 and 1521 kHz. 963 and 1323 kHz are still in operation in the Far East) - well, the fact that for several months now music has been broadcast in several languages instead of broadcasts Maybe someone heard some information about the situation in the Russian service on the air or communicated with employees? By the way, they don't answer e-mail either :) In general, it seems that there will soon be large-scale reductions in traditional broadcasting. Although in the case of China there is also a positive point - the less China, the more chances to accept something more interesting ...

The history of the radiotelecentre dates back to October 25, 1931, when the radio broadcast for the first time sounded: "Govotit Syktyvkar!" ("Syktyvkar is speaking!"). The pioneering spirit and enthusiasm helped the pioneers in radio broadcasting in Komi find non-standard solutions to technical problems. Since the local power plant could not provide the necessary power to operate the transmitter, the signalmen secured the power supply from an old oil engine and generator.
