Terry Colgan confirmed the May 28 Texas Radio Shortwave audition for 15770 kHz via WRMI. I attached short video recordings to the report, and since the passage was not the best, and the very quality of the recording, Terry did not immediately confirm. Next time I will additionally attach a more authentic recording from the recorder. (VV) CALENDAR - HISTORY OF DX HOBBIES, RADIO, TV AND MAIL =========================================== May 29, 2023 -------------------- Exactly 20 years ago, on May 29, 2003, one of the most popular Russian music radio stations, Retro FM (88.3 FM), went on the air. The launch of the broadcast was the result of the merger of radio stations "Radio Retro" and "Radio Russia Nostalgia", alternating Soviet and Russian music with foreign music. Retro FM airs Soviet, Russian and foreign music of the 1960s - early 2010s. The ratio of foreign music to Russian is 65/35. The radio station has 280 transmitter installation points in Russia, which broadcast to more than 1800 cities and towns and about 40 more transmitters to 10 countries.

This is a rather unusual model in every sense. For starters, this is not a home appliance. This is a stationary tube radio for hospitals and hotels, mounted above the head of the bed. In foreign sites, it is also called "pillow". One of its features is an external speaker that can be listened to in bed or placed under the pillow. The radio was turned on with special tokens that were given out or sold to residents and patients. There were models for simple coins.

On its Facebook page (the activities of the company Meta, which owns the social network Facebook, are recognized as extremist in the Russian Federation and banned), radio station Choice Broadcasting KUSG (FM) The Point wrote: "We have become victims of the strongest storm this century. We need to work to restore our studios and transmitter site. We really want to get back in the air and hope it won't be for long." The website of NPR affiliate KPRG(FM) states that the station "will remain off the air in Guam for the foreseeable future as we assess damage to our mast from Typhoon Mawar." While we were on air in Saipan, we had to close the studios due to running out of fuel for the generators. As soon as our fuel supply is replenished, we will resume work." The KPRG transmitter in Saipan, the capital of the Northern Mariana Islands, transmits programs from the KPRG studio at the University of Guam in Mangilao. Christian radio station KHMG(FM), Harvest Family Radio, also noted on Facebook that both its studios and transmitter are powered by a generator.

This followed an announcement in May 2022 that the BBC would stop planning a separate broadcasting grid for Radio 4 LW, pending the shutdown of a LW broadcasting platform owned and operated by a third party whose technology is coming to an end. Radio 4 LW launches an information campaign, warning listeners in advance of upcoming changes.

It broadcast world music (including fresh Greek music on shortwave after Greece itself stopped broadcasting on HF), great literature read aloud, new music releases from independent artists, some of the best vintage music, science and comedy. There were none of the political and religious programs that many shortwave listeners love to complain about, but which are also the bread and butter of most private shortwave stations. Program production quality standards were often close to those of state radio. Thanks to us, several new voices from all over the world have appeared on shortwave, which were not there before. It was known from day one that the long-term success of the project would depend on attracting enough listeners and buyers of free airtime.
