Specialized radio stations GSPC with call signs RBU (66.6 kHz), RTZ (50 kHz) and RVM (4996 kHz, 9996 kHz, 14966 kHz) transmit information on the difference between the Universal Time (UT1) and World Coordination Time scales as part of the reference frequency and time signals. time (UTC) ...

Good idea, as according to SW.info, the jammers are waiting at VOT's next usual landing spot, 9899 kHz.

The epoch-making page of Soviet radio broadcasting was launched - jamming of "Enemy Voices" (Radio Liberty, Voice of America, BBC, Deutsche Welle, etc.) It lasted until the end of 1988, with interruptions during the years of detente in political relations. From the technical side of the issue, it looked something like this. In large cities, there were low-power jamming stations. In St. Petersburg, these were located on the street. Chapaev (the towers can still be seen), and on Oktyabrskaya emb. house 72 (towers and antennas are also preserved there). But since the effectiveness of jamming from such objects was no further than the urban area, the need arose for more powerful radio protection stations. In addition to jamming, they were also involved in regular civilian radio broadcasting. In the Leningrad Region, this was the radio center No. 11 in the village of Krasny Bor. After the end of jamming, many radio protection centers began to be used for analog broadcasting, including foreign broadcasting. After the global reduction of radio broadcasting by dv / sv / kv in 2012 - 2015, almost all centers have become a joke. Some have already become ruins. Concerning St. Petersburg. Jamming station on st. Chapaeva was used for some time as a control and measuring point. The radio center on Oktyabrskaya embankment worked in the medium wave range (low-power transmitters) until 2016, after which the broadcasting of programs ("Slovo", "Radonezh", "Orthodox Radio of St. Petersburg") was transferred to Radio Center # 1 Olgino, the object was put on conservation ... The last transmitter of Radio Center No. 11 was also switched off in 2016. He broadcast Teos radio broadcasts on a frequency of 1089 kHz.

He would run low power and often gave his station a variety of names, including Radio BZN, because "Annie" was one of his favorite ladies. I met him on a couple of occasions and I shall miss his vitality and his passion for pirate radio. All the best to Dr. Tim's family. SWCH published more details (reproduced here in English): This morning the news came in that Werner (Radio Doctor Tim) from the shortwave has passed away on Sunday. Werner had been hospitalized with pneumonia and died from the illness. The swcholland team wishes the family and friends a lot of strength.
