(https://vk.com/telesputnik) * The legendary announcer of the Khabarovsk Regional Radio has passed away. ------------------------------- Announcer, Honorary Radio Operator of the Russian Federation, Honored Worker of Culture Anatoly Evgenyevich Zharov, whose voice sounded on the regional radio for more than half a century, was gifted with a natural baritone bass. Impeccable literacy and artistry earned him popularity and respect from radio listeners. He hosted news programs and participated in radio shows. He honed his acting skills in Moscow. He repeatedly flew to refresher courses. Yevgeny Ternovsky, the second most popular Russian radio announcer after Yuri Levitan, ordered the Khabarovsk resident to attend classes freely, because Zharov had nowhere to improve that very qualification. After completing the courses, the Khabarovsk announcer was offered to stay in Moscow, but Anatoly Evgenievich could not leave his beautiful wife and two children and returned home. The voice of Anatoly Zharov has been on the air since 1968. He was faithful to his profession to the last: he read the news and announcements on the radio, his voice sounded at the parade and festive processions in Khabarovsk. On June 6, he turned 78 years old. transsibinfo.com (https://onair.ru/main/enews/view_msg/NMID__83396/) * Radio reception from Estonia and Finland (12.06.2022). ------------------------------------------------ FM.

Jack had been DXing since 1949, and he was a prime source of authoritative information on the shortwave DX bands, Latin American stations in particular. One of his work products, which he prepared with his friend, Jerzy Sielawa, was a 60-meter survey, published in 1974, which we have now posted (with Jack's permission). In his introduction, Jack describes why he compiled the survey, and he gives the meanings of the various conventions used in it. What sets this survey apart is that it is cumulative: it shows, for each station, the year that it was last heard, going as far back as 1957 This represents the kind of historical record that I have not seen elsewhere for that period. It was also a practical aid to IDing new signals--if you knew who had been broadcasting on or near a given channel before, it might be the same station now. Look for the survey at the red "New" for the year 1974 in "DX History-II/Lists, Logs, Guides & Columns." Thanks, Jack...
