This phenomenon is called interference. ------------------------------------------------- The sun is a source of not only light, but also radio waves. Interference occurs in Russia when the Earth turns its Southern Hemisphere towards the Sun. When the Sun is exactly behind the satellite - in line with the receiving earth station - the signals of the communication satellite are jammed by its more powerful signal. The location of the Sun in line with the satellite and the receiving antenna of the ground relay lasts several minutes a day. Then, due to the rotation of the Earth around its axis, the communication satellite leaves the "solar illumination". In the regions of Russia, short-term interference on TV screens is possible until March 17 from 11:00 to 16:00 local time. The duration of interference is from a few seconds to 26 minutes per day. Digital broadcasting technologies have made the impact of interference almost imperceptible to viewers.

World Radio Day is celebrated annually on February 13, which was established in 2011 at the 36th session of the UNESCO General Conference. A year later, this idea was approved by the UN Assembly. According to Roskomnadzor, which is available to RIA Novosti, the register of registered media contains information about 2395 radio channels. "In general, of course, there are no sharp dips in the number of radio stations across the country now. It was during the covid epidemic, when several radio stations were closed," Solovyov said. According to him, there are problems with spare parts for hardware due to sanctions, but "the Russian people are smart and are looking for a way out in different ways, for example, through parallel imports." Member of the Board of the Russian Academy of Radio (RAR) Foundation, Deputy General Director of Gazprom- Media Holding Yulia Golubeva also believes that the sanctions have complicated the process of supplying some equipment for broadcasting, but the sanctions do not have any critical effect on the existence of the Russian radio industry. "As for state support for the industry, we see the need to refine advertising legislation, for example, with regard to disclaimers when placing advertisements for financial and medical services," Golubeva noted. Also, in her opinion, it may be necessary to regulate the number of commercial non-state radio channels in each specific region and reduce them depending on the volume of the advertising market. 1prime.ru (https://tele-satinfo.ru/index.php?id=16543) * The Russian news channel RT (formerly Russia Today) began broadcasting in English freely for reception via the Arab telecommunications satellite Badr 4 at the position of 26 degrees east longitude. ------------------------------------------------- This satellite covers the regions of Europe, the Middle East and North Africa.

A hardware magazine is what unites all radio amateurs. The equipment can be very different: from a receiver assembled by oneself - and up to ... some super-sophisticated, super-duper automated powerful all-band radio station ... not to mention amplifiers, tuners, mixers, equalizers, preamplifiers ... of course well, antennas... and much, much more. Everyone - according to his desires, finances and capabilities. Details in Russian - https://pikabu.ru/story/shveytsarskiy_nozh_okhotnika_za_dxami_9957649 (https://pikabu.ru/community/ham_league) * Don't forget to turn off... the TV. -------------------------------------------------- --- Not all of us remember the inscription "Now the computer can be powered off" when turning off the PC, and even more so about the TV. Such a tweeter screensaver appeared on the air when Soviet TV channels stopped broadcasting (this is one of the last options). But the most surprising thing is that in the very late 80s - early 90s, on the first channel of the Central Television, after the "tweeter", an announcer appeared on the air and read out the program guide of the "night" broadcast, which, as a rule, consisted of a couple of films and one TV programmes. Such broadcasting ended in the morning around 4.30 - 5.00. Some even remember set-top boxes that turned off the TV at the end of the broadcast. The reason is simple - the TVs overheated, because they could not show a static picture for a long time, and this was simply unsafe. Such pictures and sharp sound lived on our television screens until 1995.

On February 23, 1963, the tower began broadcasting television programs. The signal coverage radius was 100 km - twice as much as before. Almost a million residents of the Leningrad region for the first time received the opportunity to receive television. Today, the TV tower on Aptekarsky Island is the visiting card of the St. Petersburg Regional Center of RTRS. Andrey Romanchenko, General Director of RTRS: "The Leningrad signalmen who launched the transmitters of the new TV tower in 1963 realized that television would irreversibly change the lives of millions of people. Now the tower broadcasts 20 digital TV channels and 27 radio stations 24/7 for the benefit of almost 7 million TV viewers and radio listeners in St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region." Among the viewers for whom the TV tower in St. Petersburg operates are those who watch cable TV: cable TV operators receive a signal from 20 digital channels from it. The design and construction of the facility corresponded to the spirit of the times. On the instructions of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, the building was designed so that it was higher than the Eiffel Tower. Thanks to the world's first innovative all-welded metal structure, the TV tower turned out not only one and a half meters higher than the Eiffel, but also almost six times lighter. Ruslan Evseev, director of the branch of the RTRS "St. Petersburg RC": "The TV tower in Leningrad has repeatedly become a testing ground for experiments. And now we regularly test new solutions for the development of television and radio broadcasting. A service center has been created on our basis. It repairs the transmission equipment of other branches of RTRS. Our employees are high-class professionals with unique competencies." Specialists of the St. Petersburg Regional Center for RTRS have been repeatedly awarded state and departmental awards and titles.

"Neither tie him up, nor pick him up - the radio," wrote the Soviet classic Vladimir Mayakovsky. And to this day, despite the rapid development of the Internet and communications, it is with the help of radio waves that millions of people receive news and food for thought, have fun, relax, and the statistics of queries "what to talk about on the radio" and "how beautiful to say hello" in search engines going wild. Their leaders talked about the present and future of domestic radio stations at the round table "Belarusian Radio in the Modern World" - and it turned out that our radio operators are more than advanced and generally keep up with the times, discovering new horizons of development for themselves.

I remember that until January 11, the broadcast went on as usual, sound recordings were also broadcast from the video platform of the editorial office on Wednesdays and Saturdays (on Sundays there were sometimes reruns of Saturday afternoon broadcasts). For a month, no sound recording broadcasts are observed. Note that the editorial site, the publication of recordings of TV programs, as well as the telegram channel, are updated on a regular basis. At the same time, starting from 11/08/22, the editorial office has changed its web address, because use of the domain zone. som broadcaster was no longer allowed. Therefore, the editorial address has been changed. The new address of the editorial web page: parstoday.ir/russian (in the recording of the broadcasts, the former one sounds: parstoday.com/ru).
