Soviet television. -------------------------------------------------- ---------------------- The Soviet Union was not only a reading country, it was also a singing country, with its own special attitude towards various musical trends and genres. Therefore, the musical programs of Soviet television of the 70-80s of the 20th century evoked special love. Every Sunday, the whole country sat down at the TV to learn about the musical news from the Morning Mail program, rejoicing at the opportunity to see their favorite performers, including foreign pop stars. The favorite TV shows of many Soviet people were Blue Light and Wider Circle, which the whole family sang along with. Serious passions flared up while watching the "Musical Ring", a kind of competitive marathon. And a separate topic for fans of the Soviet stage was a real forge of performing arts - the bright program "Song of the Year". - Transfer "Goluboy Ogonek" ("Blue light"). "Goluboy Ogonek" - this was the name of an entertainment TV show during the Soviet era, broadcasting at first every week on weekends, and later only on holidays. The program was shown by the First Program of the Central Television, and leading pop and circus performers, stars of opera and ballet art, operetta actors and indispensable guests of honor - astronauts, Heroes of Socialist Labor, and other distinguished guests took part in it. The history of the "Goluboy Ogonek" began on April 6, 1962 with the program "TV Cafe". Then she was given a different name - "On the Ogonek", and then "On the Goluboy Ogonek". (The word "blue" was associated with the bluish tint of the screens of the then black-and-white televisions.) ...

Despite the fact that in the last 30 years Eduard Nikolayevich wrote good quality music for films (for example, for the film "The Barber of Siberia"), the most recognizable melodies were written by him in the 70s and 80s of the past, 20th century. I am sure that you know at least three of my personal hit parade of the top 10 melodies by Eduard Artemyev. Even if you hear the name Artemiev for the first time. Many of his famous melodies were written on analog synthesizers, which he began to work on back in the 60s of the last century, and therefore it is Artemyev who is called the pioneer of Soviet electronic music... But let's stop there, because we have the best ten melodies from Eduard Nikolaevich Artemiev ahead of us - https://dzen.ru/media/id/5b73b5e737121000a8a15022/10-luchshih-melodii-eduarda-artemeva-pionera- otechestvennoi-elektronnoi-muzyki -63656b1f245cbc1c03f4b3d5.

STORY. ========================= Russia ---------- Portable radio receivers. The portable transistor radio receiver "Dorozhny" from the IV quarter of 1956 was experimentally produced by the Moscow plant "Red October". The radio receiver "Dorozhny" was developed in IRPA in 1955. It is assembled according to a superheterodyne circuit on eight transistors and operates in the range of long (LW) - 750 ... 2000 meters and medium (MW) -185 ... 550 meters waves. Reception of radio stations in stationary conditions is carried out on an external antenna, in a portable mode on a small piece (1.5 ... 2.5 m) of wire. Powered by two KBS-L batteries with a total voltage of 9 volts. Sensitivity with an external antenna is about 200 μV on both ranges, with a 2- meter-long piece of wire, about 2 ... 3 mV / m. Selectivity (selectivity in S.K.) - 12 ... 14 dB. Rated output power - 150 mW. The range of reproducible sound frequencies is 150...4000 Hz. Materials provided by Dmitry, St. Petersburg.

The picture on the top right shows me recording the show, which was (illegally) broadcasted on Sunday 12 June 1977 from 10am-12pm on 6240 kHz. ABC Germany first started in 1977 when an amateur transmitter builder and a radio amateur approached me and asked me to host a radio program as I was well known in my hometown as a disc jockey in various discos and at live events. After graduating from high school in the same year and subsequent military service, I became a qualified media technology engineer with a personal focus on audio technology and worked for over 25 years at Germany's largest broadcasting corporations, most recently at Deutschlandfunk (not to be confused with Deutsche Welle DW), which mainly broadcasts long and shortwave radio Medium waves supplied the area of the GDR and Southeast Europe at that time. After my early retirement I decided to revive those good old days of free radio and now regularly present a CLASSIC ROCK & MORE show every first Sunday of the month from 11am - 12pm UTC. From time to time there are also special programs on certain occasions, e.g. B. on Christmas Eve this year (December 24) at 1 - 2 p.m. UTC. On the occasion of the sixth anniversary of his death, there is a Rick Parfitt Special, the co-frontman of the world-famous rock group "Status Quo", with many Status Quo and also Rick Parfitt songs that accompanied his life.
