Communication on CB. -------------------------------------------------- Company Blog RUVDS.com Author: Dmitry Rudnev, Perm region. In the early 80s of the last century, the American film "Convoy" was shown with great success in the cinemas of the USSR. Now it would be perceived as an ordinary "road movie", but then ... Imagine the dazzling Arizona sun, snow-white sands and haze over the road. Huge trucks are driving along the road. From a distance they look like toys, but this is only from a distance. They are led by fearless "truckers" who have declared war on the insidious sheriff. The love line is indicated by a dotted line. Fights and chases are drawn with broad strokes. And none of this would have happened if the heroes of the film had no radio communication. Everyone was constantly in touch: drivers, police officers, innkeepers, and even the assistant to the governor of New Mexico. This was not the case in the Soviet Union...

An interesting fact: from April 8 to April 17, 1993, the mission of the Discovery shuttle STS-56 took place. In other experiments and studies, astronauts established radio contact with schools around the world using the SAREX II amateur radio experiment. During it, the astronauts for the first time in history "got through" to the Mir station. According to the stories of the astronauts, there was a small radio station on the Mir, to which the astronauts periodically approached to receive a call from one or another point on the planet. Imagine the surprise at the station when they received a signal from another space object. This radio exchange was the first sign of the joint space program of the two countries. In 1993, NASA representatives have already managed to visit Moscow and the Moscow region. Negotiations on the Mir-Shuttle program, which began in 1995, were in full swing, and the first sketches of the future ISS appeared on paper, the first module of which flew in 1998.

Uses the 77 metres mast (also a standard type, if I recall correct called Aksion). On air only Mon-Fri between 7:00 and 8:18 local time. Programming is Radio 1 plyus, no separate feed required because Grigoriopol transmits this around the clock on FM anyway. It had been stated that the frequency was offered to TWR as substitute for 999 kHz. Until now no such transmissions appeared, so either there was no such offer or TWR refused it. 999 kHz: One of the Buran transmitter blocks from 1971, set aside as separate transmitter by breaking up an original two-block unit. The original ARRT-257 antenna collapsed due to icing in 2000, the comparatively small 150 metres antenna is the replacement. Another picture of this antenna accompanies a posting that obviously comes from someone in the know, informing that the Radio Rossii transmission, started on April 5, is run with 1000 kW. https://vcfm.ru/forum/viewtopic.php?p=157592#p157592 It has been noted also in "regular" DX circles that this relay has a rather extraordinary delay of almost twenty seconds, making one first wonder if there are no news at the hour. Ingest is in all likelyhood from satellite, who knows through what a cascade of encoders and multiplexers. 1413 kHz: The former 234 kHz transmitter, run in a synchronized network with Sankt Petersburg (Krasny Bor) and Arkhangelsk (Koskovo), probably closed already in the moment the USSR ceased to exist. It used a 350 metres mast, brought down in 1997 exactly the same way than earlier the Konstantynów mast in Poland. The 1413 kHz now uses the four mast antenna, which is a type called Kvadrat with switchable pattern (not to be confused with fixed SV2+2 systems). Since 3 March 2014 the transmitter is on air around the clock with Vesti FM, originally set up as 500 kW and eastern beam, there is no reason to assume that any changes have been made in the meantime. 1548 kHz: The only MW outlet still running in its original configuration, with the Zarya antenna designed for skywave transmissions into the Balkans region. The TWR transmissions on this frequency continue, usually with the first item starting out of the blue after some time of open carrier, I assume from local file playout. (In the USSR days this transmitter was during daytime used on other frequencies, like 549 kHz, with the Kvadrat antenna, a constellation rather common for such foreign service installations. The most remarkable case existed for some time at Bolshakovo: Daytime 171 kHz, evenings 1143 kHz.) 11530 kHz: At present the only shortwave frequency in operation from Grigoriopol, carrying Dengê Welat. A picture of one of the shortwave transmitters accompanied a report about Radio Rossii on 999 kHz, so beware of possible confusion here. Radio Rossii: This was indeed the child of Yeltsin, launched in 1991 on the frequencies of the culture program of Allunion Radio. Its shortwave service included up to the very end one frequency for Central/Western Europe, which could hint at possible considerations for using 999 kHz now. Vesti FM: I can only leave it to others to determine the hardliner stronghold, even if it is part of VGTRK at all since another good possible candidate would be Perviy Kanal (the former Tsentralnoye Televideniye, which Yeltsin did not kill like Allunion Radio). Anyway it started in 2008, as the name already indicates on FM. VGTRK had no frequencies outside Moscow: No problem, Radio Kultura, which they had launched only in 2004, had to leave FM again (I understand it's now just a cheap offspring of the Rossiya-K TV channel). No licence: These transmissions have no licence from Chisinau just like the transmissions from Taiwan have no licence from Beijing.

On 9 March 2022, Radio Eli posted the following on their F_B page (trans- lated from Russian to English): "Due to recent events on Radio Eli in recent years, and the rise in electricity in Estonia last fall, we did not have enough funds to keep the medium waves running 24/7 hrs/d. We could hear the broadcast outside our country only in the evening. But with God's help and the active participation of new donors, we were able to make a payment for 1035 kHz ROUND THING DURING MARCH. We are so glad the Lord made this possible, especially in light of the current events. Pray that funds will continue to be needed to pay for broadcasting". (seemingly still 24/7 hrs/d during April 2022) A undated schedule for Radio Eli in Russian can be found at Some highlights from it are as follows, with some familiar organisations mentioned (I have converted times to UTC and programmes are presumed to be in Russian unless otherwise stated): 0100-0140 Tue Friedensstimme Mission 0130-0200 Wed Voice of the Martyrs 0330-0400 Mon-Fri TWR block 0400-0500 Sat/Sun TWR block 0700-0705 Daily Programme guide 0830-0900 Wed Voice of the Martyrs 1000-1100 Sun Orthodox programme (Radio Teos?) 1200-1230 Sun Friedensstimme Mission 1230-1300 Sun Voice of the Martyrs 1300-1305 Daily Programme guide 1305-1400 Sat Service in Ukrainian 1600-1635 Wed Friedenstimme Mission 1900-2000 Daily TWR block (confirmed starting and ending with the TWR Interval Signal on 20 April) 2100-2105 Daily Programme guide 2105-2140 Fri Friedensstimme Mission 2105-2200 Sat Orthodox programme (Radio Teos?) 2140-2200 Fri Voice of the Martyrs 2200-2300 Mon Orthodox programme (Radio Teos?) 2200-2300 Wed Service in Ukrainian Voice of the Martyrs is known for its programmes on shortwave for North Korea, and more recently for the Maldives. As highlighted above, it also has programmes on Radio Eli on 1035 kHz. The VOM website has the following item from 2 September 2020: "Russia: Strict Opposition to Missionary Activity. In July 2016, Russia passed religion laws restricting "illegal missionary activity" by either citizens or foreigners. This activity could involve speaking to people about religion, or the distribution of either printed, audio or video materials. Between January and June of this year, there have been 42 known pro- secutions, resulting in 36 convictions. All those who were convicted received fines. Most of the recent convictions have not involved religious organisations but rather individuals who were sharing their faith. Those charged were convicted because they did not notify the authorities of the existence of their "religious group", even though they were acting as individuals. These laws do not only affect Christians but also citizens belonging to other religious groups. According to Russia's current laws, individuals or groups engaging in missionary or evangelistic activities of any kind could possibly be subjected to stiff opposition.", Presumably the reason for the programmes in Russian on Radio Eli. If anyone can further clarify the content of Radio Eli's schedule, please let us know.

The prgrs in Roma, Hungarian, Romanian etc at 1830-2130 on 1548 kHz are still on the air. Vesti Radio on 1413 kHz is with reduced power (earlier with 1000 kW).

"We have 14, 100,000-watt transmitters and 23 antennas beaming to all parts of the world," said Jeff White, the general manager of Miami-based WRMI. The multi-signal station is said to be one of the largest shortwave radio operations in the world. WRMI stands for Radio Miami International and worldwide coverage means it can easily send signals into Ukraine and Russia. Shortwave is old school technology, think of World ... II or the Cold ..., as American-produced news beamed behind the iron curtain. Now, during the invasion of Ukraine, Russia has shut down journalism as we know it. Kate Neiswender, one of the guiding lights behind funding news programming for Russian audiences, said, "they were going to pass a law making jour- nalism essentially illegal, facing a 15-year criminal penalty." Neiswender and fellow former journalists formed a fundraiser to beam news into Russia, where state-controlled media, at best, does not tell the true story of the invasion and many Russian citizens have no clue about the severity of the invasion. "This is a journalistic pursuit more than anything else," said Neiswender. WRMI is in the game because U.S. Services like the Voice of America and Radio Free Europe have over the years scaled back their shortwave services depending more on TV, FM, digital, and direct-to-home satellite. Jeff White told CBS4 News, "Management there (Russia) seems to think that people don't have enough short wave radios to make it worthwhile." Short- wave is old technology, but folks at WRMI will tell you there are plenty of shortwave radios in Russia and Eastern Europe. Most importantly, "Shortwave is known as crisis radio and in times of crisis people will look to their shortwave radio and start tuning around," White said. And what will they find? Unfettered news of the invasion, no censorship and they can hear the news in Russian, Ukrainian and even in English being beamed their way from that cow pasture in Florida.

(Surnames are not indicated in full for correctness) - On April 19, from 1500 to 1600 UTC on 13600 kHz, he received Radio Pravda for Russia in Kansk. 45444. Sent a report to: hf-tran...@web.de. We thanked for the report and plan to confirm the electronic QSL reports. When receiving, I used Degen 1103 and a long wire of 40 meters. Vladimir. - Today I listened to this program. What a blizzard they bring! Voice of America, DW, BBC and others like them, during the Cold War, are just relaxing. It's okay, we'll survive. Pavel. - Hello! I haven't listened and don't intend to. Lies all around... Dmitry. - I definitely join! Just tired of this abomination. It is especially disappointing when you see announcements of all these pseudo-information projects on our Russian DX-resources - in its purest form, the promotion of enemy propaganda. After all, they will say: "They are interested in our programs, they listen to us, they write to us!". And the explanation in the style of "only out of amateur radio interest" will not work here, the time is not right. Konstantin.
