Kirov. -------------------------------- The radio channel "Radio KirovGrad", which is part of the INMEDIA Group of Companies, fully resumes its work. Radio Sputnik will become the new network partner of the radio channel. The new radio will begin broadcasting in Kirov on 15 August. As reported (https://vk.com/in_media?w=wall-20058385_2667&ysclid=l6qfixhcc7888583090) in the INMEDIA Group, the radio channel itself will continue to be called Radio KirovGrad. The frequency will also remain the same - 101.0 MHz. The conversational format will last from 6 am to midnight, that is, 18 hours. Regional inserts - during the morning, afternoon and evening prime time. According to the radio staff, the editorial policy will remain the same: acute problems of the city and the region, different opinions, experts' assessments. Radio will continue to have the status of a platform for dialogue and expression of opinion on various topics. (PRO_FM / Telegram) Krasnoyarskiy kray. ------------------------------- August 15 "First Internationalnoe Radio" starts broadcasting at a frequency of 93.1 MHz in Krasnoyarsk. The city becomes the second on-air city with a million inhabitants in the PI FM family. For residents of the vast Krasnoyarsk Territory, this is not a completely new station: PI FM has been broadcasting in Minusinsk since August 2018. Broadcasting will start from the communication facility of the Krasnoyarsk regional radio and television transmitting center - the so-called "new tower". This will allow broadcasting not only the capital of the region, but also nearby settlements: according to the calculations of the RTRS branch, more than 1.279 million people. Radio PI FM - Krasnoyarsk will become part of the Krasnoyarsk branch of the MKR-Media holding (https://www.mkrmedia.ru/?ysclid=l6qg7315ku219972637#4), among whose assets is the Siberian News Agency (https:// krsk.sibnovosti.ru/), network "Dorozhnoe Radio - Krasnoyarsk Territory", "Radio Siberia - Krasnoyarsk" and "Radio MIR - Krasnoyarsk". Until the end of 2022, PI FM also promises to come on air in Kaliningrad and Tyumen. (PRO_FM / Telegram) Lipetskaya oblast.

Yekaterinburg. ----------------------------------------------------- In Yekaterinburg, the project to launch the Radio 91.4 FM radio station, which was supposed to replace the defunct Echo of Moscow - Yekaterinburg, was suspended indefinitely. The ex-editor of the Yekaterinburg "Echo of Moscow" " Maxim Putintsev. "We have absolutely no plans in this regard," Putintsev commented on the situation. He also added that he did not know anything about any plans, although in March 2022 it was said that a new radio station would appear, but for this it was necessary to reissue the documents. The federal radio station "Echo of Moscow" was turned off from broadcasting on March 2, followed by the Yekaterinburg edition. In March 2022, Echo of Moscow - Yekaterinburg announced that it would resume broadcasting on March 21 under the new name Radio 91.4 FM, but the broadcast was postponed.

While the technology is in open beta testing mode, it is used to translate broadcasts on YouTube channels from a playlist. "The next step is to translate streaming broadcasts and videos not only on YouTube, but also, for example, on Twitch. We taught neural networks to translate broadcasts in English, German, French, Italian and Spanish. Next, we will add new pairs of European languages, as well as Chinese, Japanese and others, "Dmitry Timko, head of the Yandex and Yandex Browser application, quotes the press service. Several neural networks are working on simultaneous video translation: one recognizes audio and turns it into text, another determines the gender of the speaker by biometrics, the third places punctuation marks and selects parts from the text that contain a complete thought - they are taken by the fourth neural network responsible for the translation, which is synthesized in Russian. Any Yandex Browser user can test the technology on their computer. Yandex announced a prototype of automatic video translation in July last year. Then the technology worked only with videos in English.

The statement states that on October 6, 2021, the defendant on the radio channel "Radio Energy Belogorsk" broadcast to the public 26 musical works included in the repertoire of the Russian Open Society, in the absence of a license agreement. The fact of non-contractual use of musical works was recorded by the Federal State Unitary Enterprise "Main Radio Frequency Center". By illegally using the results of intellectual activity, the organization violated the right of authors / copyright holders to receive royalties, the press service of the court reports. RAO asks the court to recover from the company for each used piece of music compensation of 20,000 rubles, as well as 520,000 rubles for their subsequent distribution and payment in favor of the right holders.

In Russian and at 1915 UTC ID as Nasha Lenta. Receiver was Tecsun PL368. QTH Southern DNK. Ydun Ritz (2022-08-10) Lithuania August 10, 2022 On Friday 5 August at 17.00 UTC, "Radio Pravda" started broadcasting on AM 1557 from Sitkunai in Lithuania. The station, also known as "Nasha Lenta" (Our Band), provides independent information in Russian to Russia and Belarus and is fully funded by private donors. Its programmes are under the supervision of the Dutch Media Commission. Radio Pravda received permission from the Commissariat and its programmes are compiled in the Netherlands before being transmitted to Lithuania for rebroadcasting on AM 1557 kHz. The Lithuanian authorities in turn issued a 'retransmission licence'. There are no political motives and no involvement of any government, not even financial. "The only thing that matters is the free flow of uncensored, verified information to Russia and Belarus." The transmitter used in Lithuania is the Nautel RX50 which was previously used by Big L on AM 1395 kHz from Trintelhaven in the Netherlands, in an attempt to reach a daytime audience in England. Later this transmitter was used on 1008 kHz to broadcast the religious station Groot Nieuws Radio. Since the 1008 kHz was closed down, the transmitter was stored in the Netherlands. The past few weeks a lot of work was done to get the full 50 kilowatts on the air on AM 1557. This also required a new antenna design. The results are phenomenal. The signal on AM 1557 can be received well at night throughout Europe. There is a strong night signal in cities like Saint-Petersburg, Moscow and Minsk and it also covers the whole territory of the Ukraine. Even on Russia's border with Norway in the Arctic, the signal is still quite good, as well as in Novosibirsk, which is some 1,500 kilometres from the transmitter site. https://radiovisie.eu/nederlandse-radio-pravda-gestart-op-am-vanuit-litouwen/ Hans Knot (2022-08-10) BC-DX 1513, 7 August 2022 Editor: Wolfgang Bueschel. Germany ----------------- KYRGYZ REPUBLIC Bishkek - Red River Tx site, Kyrgyzstan. Part I The LW/MW/SW transmitting center was built on the location of a military encampment Krasnaya Rechka (Red River) in the Ysyk-Ata district about 40 km East of Frunze - at that time the name of the capital of the Kyrgyz SSR at G.C. location 42 52 50 N 74 59 24 E Later in 1991 the original name of the city was returned to become Bishkek which means " Mount that brings happiness". Nowadays it's very hard to find any detailed information about the history of the Tx site, to my regret. I could find just fragmentary pieces of information. In the early images of Google Earth many SW antennas could be seen, mostly dipoles and four MW masts, including a tall LW standing apart. Also it's known that the Tx center used at least two Russian made transmitters: RV-715 SNEG-M (snow) of 100 kW (1971) and RV-716 (KV-50) of 100 kW (1961). Of course, there were many more transmitters. There was a transmission on 200/198 kHz at 150 kW in Kazakh, Kyrgyz, Russian, Uighur and Uzbek. The report of 2018 listed this station as in- active. On the MW band the center used the frequencies of 612, 1431 and 1467 kHz. As for the contents of their programs we can be sure that they were the Soviet type of propaganda. In its long history the center had different names for their stations and used many SW frequencies but only in the 75/60m bands. Kyrgyz Radio, Kyrgyz National Radio, Birinchi Radio were the names of the stations, which worked on 4010, 4050, 4795, 4820, 4940, and 6030 kHz in different times. The Radio Rossii quite often relayed its programs in Russian on 4050 kHz. In accordance with Passport World Band Radio in the 1980's - 1990's Kyrgyz Radio was on the air broadcasting their programs to Europe on 4010 and 4050 kHz in English, German and in Russian at a power of 50 kW. (Lev Lytovchenko-Edmonton-Alb-CAN, SWsites iogroups via wwdxc Aug 3) KYRGYZ REPUBLIC There was a time when the long gone heroes of the hobby researched USSR shortwave sites just by listening to the sound and ano- malies of the shortwave frequencies used. Many years after the fall of the communist regimes, it still takes time and effort to establish the history of active and gone shortwave stations in the USSR. Recently, I failed in my research for 95 years of Radio Khabarovsk (September 1927). This is why I read Lev Lytovchenko's research with great interest. Unfortunately, in the case of Radio Frunze, I do have a comment to make. I seriously doubt that there was an external service in German and subse- quently in English. People tend to forget that there used to be a "German" minority in Central Asia. The fascist nationalism brought misery to many nations but also to ethnic Germans who never were part of a German state. This is particularly true of USSR citizens who were forcefully deported to Central Asia after the German invasion of the USSR. I have met survivors and descendents and listened to their horrible accounts. Stalin did not care about the civi- lians at Leningrad or Stalingrad and even less for potential collaborators with the Nazi aggressors. In 1955, German chancellor Konrad Adenauer made a famous visit to Moscow. This resulted in the release of surviving prisoners of war, who were after all these years not always welcomed by their wives ... The visit also re- sulted in a policy change towards the Soviet German citizens. Radio stations in Siberia and Central Asia started programmes in German. As a DXer in the late 70s and 80s, I first learned about the fate of Russland- Deutsche by listening to Radio Alma Ata (Kazakh SSR) and Radio Frunze (Kirgiz SSR). There were programmes of birthday greetings which included biographies from the original Volga region to the current Central Asian place. This was long before I owned a computer. According to my computer files, the German programmes were audible in Europe via a former jamming site near Moscow in 1989, but my information is sketchy. I think, like in the case of Radio Almaty, the service to ethnic Germans died down with their emigration to Russia or Germany after the collapse of the Soviet Union. The last information I have about a German programme of Radio Bishkek dates from 2003. While Radio Almaty did change from a domestic programme to an international programme in German, I don't think that Radio Bishkek at any time targeted an audience in Germany.

(Roger Thauer-D, Aug 6) On August 1st or shortly thereafter on 1557 kHz a transmission with Rus- sian language programming appeared. It is announced as "Nasha Lenta", with online presences using the branding "Radio Lenta". Of them a Youtube channel specifies the location as Ukraine. An observer has his doubts: The programming calls the special operation not by a five- letter word but indeed a special operation, and it talks about the LNR and DNR without even adding a "so-called". He describes the news reporting itself as being of neutral appearance. Another observer thinks that the programming is clearly anti-Russian and states that he finds the signal to come from the same direction than 1035 and 1386 kHz. Yet another report from Sankt Petersburg says that 1557 kHz has been found much stronger than 1386 and 1413 kHz as reference, describ- ed as something never heard on this frequency before. As well known it has been announced a month ago that the Lithuanian trans- mitter operator Telecentras has been licenced as program provider for 1557kHz. No further details, such as informations about a usable technical solution, are known. Related weblinks are included in the German-language report: (Kai Ludwig-D, wor Aug 6) The medium wave frequency of 1557 kHz in Sitkuemai has just been assigned by the Lithuanian Radio and Television Commission to Telecentras: offi- cially known as the Lithuanian Radio and Television Centre or LRTC. Telecentras is a state-owned company under the supervision of the Ministry of Transport and Communications. It will now be up to Telecentras to in- stall and commission a transmitter and find tenants who will provide the programmes to be broadcast. After the Russian invasion in Ukraine, the Viesintos transmitter is full. There are therefore opportunities with international stations. We have, at the moment, no precision on the power of the transmitter will be installed. We do not know, either, if the transmitter will have an international or only national scope.

Oyash is at 83.45 E / 55.31 N, the TDP gives 82.58 E / 55.04 N for the old Novosibirsk site. The latter one case appears to be somewhat complicated, since this could be in fact two different sites. I have no very detailled map of Siberia at hand but the coordinates for Oyash are of course northeast of Novosibirsk, perhaps closer to Tomsk than Novosibirsk. This site is also called "Raduga". > There is Novosibirsk II with 250 and 500 kW txs. Is that Oyash? Certainly. The TDP mentions for Oyash three 2x500 kW units (RV-271, 291 and 295, respectively), and I think most if not all customers use "only" 500 kW anymore. On the other hand there are likely not less than 24 txs at Novosibirsk itself, and I could imagine that certain txions which are registered as 250 kW are in fact 200 kW from a pair of these 24 txs. (Kai Ludwig-D, BC-DX Oct 30, 2001) Novosibirsk. Oyash (Raduga) is located about 82km to the NoEast from Novosibirsk centre Oyash is the nearest town, while Raduga is the village that probably houses the stn personnel and has the mailing address of the stn. This site, RC-7), was built in the early '70s. The big (old, from 1956) SW site RC-5 is located in the SW outskirts of Novosibirsk, in the Kirovskiy rayon. It has a total power of 2500 kW. The original Novosibirsk site RC-1 is located in the NoEastern outskirts of the city in the Kalininskiy rayon. It has a total power of 605 kW, most of which is LW and MW. It seems to have a few SW trs in the 60 kW range (SSB?) (BC-DX Oct 30, 2001) History 2007 The Novosibirsk listings in fact summarize two different sites: 200 kW transmissions are the radio centre #5 near Novosibirsk, opened in 1956 and equipped with a number of 100 kW transmitters, run in pairs of course. Origin of the 500 kW transmission will be the radio centre #9 at Raduga/Oyash, opened in 1967 and equipped with high power transmitters. Acc. both sites are located at 54 55 18 N 82 51 22 E and 55 29 00 N 83 41 12 E respectively.

(dxld) KL: See the Voice of Russia schedule in dxld. Apparently this is Novosibirsk, beaming back to Europe, in use 2000-2300 UT for French, Spanish and Portuguese. With 200 kW this is clearly the "real" Novosibirsk site in the southern outskirts of the town, existing since the fifties an equipped with about 20 transmitters or so, now upgraded to the Sneg-M 100 kW modernization type (original Sneg's are 50 kW): The HFCC basket "NVS" also contains transmissions via another site, in the village of Raduga near Oyash, about 80 km northeast of Novosibirsk. The shortwave side of this site, built in the seventies, consists of three 1000 kW Buran transmitters, usually run at 500 kW. So one can tell apart both sites by way of the power.

I would like to ask you a question about the SW Station located near Novosibirsk (Russia), actually near Tulinskiy village (54 N 55, 82 E 51). > Is this Tx site still transmitting on SW ? As a matter of fact, in the WRTH 2010 book you can read just about trans- mission from one place - Oyash with coordinates (55 N 29, 83 E41). They mark this site NVS (Oyash) but never use NSB (Novosibirsk). There was never like this before. In two previous years there were almost even amount of transmissions from both sites on SW. I checked it. Does the WRTH 2010 book just ignore the difference between two Tx sites ? Or they did really stop transmitting from Novosibirsk ? Sincerely, Lev Lytovchenko. Canada.

The Defence Ministry has drafted a government decree that would allow the ministry to set up the Broadcast and Ship to Shore/Beyond Line of Site (BRASS/BLOS) shortwave radio system, using the NATO Communications and In- formation Agency as the project's purchase and implementation agent. The government will have to decide on granting the Defence Ministry permission to undertake additional long-term obligations of up to EUR 19,400,000 for 2022-2032 to implement the project co-funded by the NATO Security Invest- ment Program (NSIP). The co-funding provided by the NSIP would be EUR 8,100,000 and Latvia's co-funding would be EUR 11,300,000.

Alokesh Gupta & Jose Jacob to dxindia iog (2022-08-13) (https://mediumwave.info/2022/08/) * Italy ----------- ITALY: RAI TURNS OFF THE MEDIUM WAVES Perhaps the officials who decided on the shutdown could have given a less symbolic date, but the public broadcaster's website speaks clearly: as of September 11, 2022, medium waves will no longer be usable. In the country that invented radio, the last medium-wave broadcast towers will soon fall, without even waiting for the centennial: the first "circular" broadcast by URI (which became EIAR and finally RAI), dates back to October 1924. The news had been circulating since September 2021, when it was learned that the new service contract, the agreement RAI has with the state to guarantee public service, specified that decommissioning would take place within a year. This is the culmination of two decades of cuts: on May 15, 2004, the medium waves of Radio2 and Radio3 had been shut down and merged into the unified Radio 1 network. Then more cuts continued in 2013 and 2014. There were few facilities left. And in September there will be a denouement. Will Guglielmo Marconi turn in his grave?
