When it comes to the best tube equipment, one immediately remembers the golden era of radio tubes - the end of the 50s and the flagship of the domestic radio industry under the brand of unchanging quality "RRR". The leading enterprise of the USSR, in terms of the development of high-quality household radio equipment, was the Leningrad Institute of Research Institute RPA (Research Institute of Broadcasting Reception and Acoustics). In addition to their own developments, prototypes created by factory design bureaus from all over the USSR were tested there. It is one thing to create a prototype with amazing characteristics, and quite another to establish mass production without losing quality. Here in this equal to the Riga Radio Plant. A. S. Popova. did not have. Back in 1954, the plant quickly launched the production of the second-class radiogram "Daugava". The experience was immediately transferred to other radio plants of the USSR, where the radiogram was already produced under the brands ''Aurora'', ''Iset'', ''Irtysh''.

I'm starting to return to the topic of sending out cards for taking the test from the Kuban Radio Center. A new batch of cards is ready. Almost every appearance in the mail is accompanied by a surprise. I get refunds. These are letters that did not reach the addressees for the following reasons: *Left, non-existent address *The recipient of the letter does not live at the address *Timeout expired (for poste restante letters) Recent example. Received a return letter. I check the data that the listener specified. Everything is one to one. I start to contact him - from sane answers - a smiley. A long e-mail correspondence, during which I pulled out an address, name, index from a person in order to send this unfortunate letter, ended with the return of an envelope folded in half with the inscription: "This does not live" But I could actually send this card to someone who is waiting for it. Just in case. You will be surprised, but many have already forgotten what ordinary letters are and how it works. So here's the treasured envelope, you need to look in the mailbox. At the address that you indicated in the letter. The story with "Before Votrebnikov" looks similar. The letter arrives at the post office and lies there, collecting dust. No one comes for the envelope, and it is returned to me.

Broadcaster RFPI - Radio for Peace International stopped preparing new programs in Russian in November last year, in Ukrainian - in March of this year. That is, only archival recordings go on the air and the number of programs in these two languages is constantly decreasing, and the number of programs for Afghanistan and the Afghan diaspora in the Dari language increases accordingly. This can be seen from the actual schedule below, compiled as of May 14 of this year, taking into account the resumption of operation from May 12 of transmitter No. 2 with a frequency of 7730 kHz. The transmitter is still working with low power, since SDR reception is only possible in the USA. The 1-hour broadcasts on Wednesdays and Thursdays in French include 15-minute segments in Ukrainian and Russian, while both 1-hour weekly broadcasts have been on repeat for a long time. There is instability in the daily schedule of broadcasts in general, including broadcasting languages (transmissions may be canceled or change the broadcast language). On the other hand, there has recently been an increase to around-the- clock volume of RFPI online broadcasting, consisting of several repeated last year's 15-minute broadcasts in Russian on the RFPI website page https://cast3.asurahosting.com:2199/start/radiofor/ and on external players. The RFPI website https://www.rfpi.eu/ has an archive of podcasts in Russian and Ukrainian.
