Let's fill this gap and try to look from the point of view of usability and capabilities. First of all, it should be said that Belka-DX was developed and designed by a radio amateur from Minsk - Alexander Buevsky (callsign EU1ME). The receiver is small. At the time of this writing, the third generation of devices has already come out. Now it is simply called Belka. The previous ones were called Belka-DSP and Belka-DX.

Taking measures based on the results of monitoring is carried out when violations are detected and there is no need for direct interaction with the owner of the object of verification. As reported today in the press service of the department, the changes make it possible to increase the efficiency of preventing the dissemination of information dangerous to citizens (calls for suicide, distribution of drugs, child pornography, fakes, involvement in illegal activities, extremism and terrorism), the operation of means of communication in violation of existing norms, telephone fraud, illegal processing of personal data, while reducing the administrative burden on the audited enterprises and organizations. Earlier, from July 2022, there was a rule that required, in the event of violations of the law, a mandatory on-site inspection be carried out. It was not allowed to draw up an administrative protocol without conducting an audit. This situation implied an increase in the unreasonable burden on business, and in some cases made it possible to hide the traces of the committed offense and avoid liability under the law.

(https://vk.com/telesputnik) MONITORING ============ * Pirate or new state test at 9310 kHz? There was a station broadcasting the anthem of Russia performed by the choir at a frequency of 9310 kHz with repetitions several times. It was adopted in Michigan (USA) around 1445 UTC on 01/10/2023: https://groups.io/g/WOR/message/144532. On the same day, this station was received by me in Novosibirsk from 1510 to 1520 UTC, after which the transmitter turned off. 01/11/2023 received the station from 1440 to 1450 UTC, when the transmission stopped and did not appear again until 1530 UTC. Perhaps this is a pirate, because. the modulation quality was mediocre. On the other hand, the transmitter power is apparently on the order of 100 kW, since it is audible in the USA and Siberia. If this is a pirate, then he got to an abandoned state transmitter. Or maybe this is a government-initiated attempt to commission a HF transmitter in addition to the tested MW transmitters in the Krasnodar Territory and the Kaliningrad Region. (Yuvalo, Russia / "deneb-radio-dx") * Today, 01/12/2023, at 08:25 UTC, the transmitter was already operating at a frequency of 9310 kHz in USB mode. The signal was confidently received in Europe (except for its southern part), Russia (St. Petersburg, Tambov, Novosibirsk); weaker, but quite audible on the East Coast of the United States and in Anchorage, Alaska. The transmitter worked until approximately 11.30 UTC. In addition to the Russian anthem performed by the Lube group, which was played in a circle, there was nothing on the air.

This morning of January 8, 2023, our colleague Arnaldo de Jesús Coro Antich (CO2KK) died in a hospital in the capital at the age of 80 due to complications from chronic illnesses he suffered. Coro began his interest in the radio, according to what he said, from the gift of his father, a coil with a galena stone and headphones to listen to the stations. At just 12 years old, he joined the then Radio Club de Cuba, the association that at the end of the 50s brought together radio amateurs in the capital.

At the same time, transmissions in other foreign languages, including Korean and English, were still transmitted on 13760 kHz. Since the disappearance of broadcasting in Russian at a frequency of 13760 kHz, I wrote several letters to the Voice of Korea, in which I drew attention to the lack of a signal. It is possible that the leadership of the DPRK foreign broadcasting has finally paid attention to this problem. Broadcasting in Russian "Voice of Korea" on the above frequency recorded on January 8 at 07:00 and 08:00 UTC. The quality of reception in the city of Ulan-Ude is poor, sometimes average. There are household disturbances. The signal itself is satisfactory in terms of power. Possibly a problem with the transmitter. You can hear it in the signal level.

Sourced from World of Radio and Canadian International DX Club The station also positions itself as The Mighty KBC Trucker Radio, ie. radio for truckers. KBC is the brainchild of former radio pirate Erik van Willegen, who is also the head of the Dutch company KBC Import-Export, which sells CB, marine, shortwave amateur radios, antennas and related equipment.
