Machine translation: http://translate.google.ru & https://translate.yandex.ru/ & https://www.bing.com/translator ----------------------------------------------------------------- FROM KAMCHATKA TO THE BALTIC ======================== October 16, Radio Center No. 5 (Kaliningradskaya oblast) - will turn on a medium-wave transmitter to conduct a daily test. 16 October - 17 October 16.00 UTC 549 kHz / 600 kW. -------------------------------------------------- ---- Full operation of the RV-372 transmitter was stopped on November 30, 2014, that is, 9 years ago! Then, he worked at a frequency of 1215 kHz. A year ago, the team of the transmission facility returned to their home workshop to revive the lamp giants. For the test, the frequency of 549 kHz (also Kaliningrad) was chosen, which is due to the peculiarity of the antenna used. Yes. This transmitter can produce many times more power. But at this stage, the task of "accelerating" kilowatts to the fullest is not worth it. The purpose of the test activities: checking the transmitter in continuous operation. Study of coverage areas. This time, the test will begin in the evening. This was done on purpose so that the most impatient people could try to receive the broadcast without waiting for it to get dark. We urge you to try the test on ordinary household receivers (including those from China). If this does not work, be sure to indicate that the reception was carried out using more advanced amateur equipment with an external antenna. Standard car radios are also welcome. That is, everything that is close to normal conditions. But this does not mean that reports from radio amateurs with serious equipment are not interesting. Everything is taken into account - especially distant points. I look forward to your feedback in VK, Telegram, and email. I kindly ask you not to delay with messages about your appointment - on October 19 I'm flying to Kaliningrad with a report. I will convey your information and greetings (if any) personally. What is needed in the acceptance message: 1. The place where the reception took place. (To the extent of an apartment, this is not necessary. A locality or region is enough) 2. Receiver 3. Your rating 4. Video/audio - optional and possible. 5. If you want to add something from yourself. Your messages are a tribute to the people who have restored the now unique equipment and are not going to stop there. Cards are not required for the test. It may be possible to send several letters for the most detailed reports. I'll be in touch in TG, here in VK. For those who prefer, write to [andrey_hamradio[at]mail.ru]. I will try to answer promptly. Inform everyone interested! I wish you success! (https://vk.com/public158109176) Altaiskiy kray. ------------------------ License.

It covered the practical aspects of long-distance radio reception: on-air observations, QSL confirmations, online reference resources. A total of 158 issues were published in Russian. We would have continued to work on this matter, but a catastrophic lack of time prevented us from doing so. In addition, a survey of readers showed that an electronic newsletter of this format is not really needed - in the modern world, people quickly learn all the "hot" DX news from electronic forums." At various times the following participated in the work of the editorial board of the "Signal" newsletter: - Sergey Alekseichik (Grodno, Belarus) - Alexander Berezkin (St. Petersburg, Russia) - Vladimir Doroshenko (Dneprodzerzhinsk, Ukraine) - Alexander Mak (Lutsk, Ukraine) - Dmitry Puzanov (Kustanay, Kazakhstan) Dmitry Mezin Collections From his former dxsignal.ru hobby website Dmitry has given us permission to host a copy of his "True Sounds" audio archive.

Considering the insane pace of road construction in Moscow and the Moscow region, this literally forced motorists to switch to Yandex Navigator, which is more adequate in terms of maps (but not navigation). But these are ordinary users, but in the corporate sector everything is much worse - applications that used Google Maps for navigation simply stopped adequately calculating routes and, as a result, their effectiveness was in big question. And here, as in the case of ordinary users, the choice turned out to be small - either use the cards of small (in comparison, of course) players, or use the Yandex API. Actually, Yandex rolled out the NaviKit SDK for these purposes.

The building is expected to be leased for 49 years. First, the tenant is given 7 years to restore the historical object, after which the tenant pays a ruble per square meter of house area.

Solar flares can have serious consequences not only for people, but also for technology - including failures in radio and GPS signals, power systems, and damage to satellites and other space equipment.

How it was. ------------------------------------------------- At 18:00 (local time) on October 8, 1963, the first television program of the State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company of the Yakut Autonomous Soviet Republic (YASSR) entitled "Yakutsk Speaks" was released. It was hosted by the author of the program script, journalist Yuri Derfel and local announcer of programs in the Yakut and Russian languages Lira Belolyubskaya. This day is considered the date of the official opening of the Yakut television studio. Note that the Yakut television studio for the first four years of its existence was the only broadcast TV channel in Yakutia, because rebroadcasting of the central TV channels of USSR TV from Moscow appeared in Yakutia only in 1967.

Second year of study" from the series "Can we help you?" ----------------------------------- The first episode of the program "English. Second year of study" from the series "Can we help you?" about the rules of etiquette appeared on Soviet television back in 1983. It originated within the walls of the Main Editorial Office of popular science and educational programs. In total, several episodes were recorded. On average, the duration of each of them is 30 minutes. Each program is devoted to a separate lexical topic. Let's say one episode was called "Getting Acquainted", another was called "Birthday".

STORY. ======================== * Russia and USSR ----------------------- - The portable radio receiver "Imula RP-8310" has been produced by the Kandava Radio Plant since 1986. (Imula is the left tributary of the Abava River.) The radio receiver is a small-sized LW, MW superheterodyne, assembled on an integrated circuit K174XA10. The design and layout of the model, except for the design, is similar to the receiver of the same plant "Selga-309". Reception is made using a magnetic antenna, but it is possible to connect an external antenna. Details + photo: http://www.rw6ase.narod.ru/index1/radiopriem/rp_pp/rp_pp1/imula_rp8310.html (http://www.rw6ase.narod.ru/) - The portable transistor radio receiver "Integral" has been produced by the Dnepropetrovsk Radio Plant since the beginning of 1980. The all-wave military receiver "Integral" with universal power supply is designed for receiving broadcast transmissions with amplitude modulation in the LW, MW and SW bands and with frequency modulation in the VHF band. The receiver is intended for completing military radio broadcast units or using it as part of field propaganda equipment. Radio reception is carried out using a ferrite antenna in the LW, MW bands and a telescopic antenna in the SW and VHF bands. Details + photo: http://www.rw6ase.narod.ru/index1/radiopriem/rp_pp/rp_pp1/integral.html (http://www.rw6ase.narod.ru/) * The regenerative single-tube radio receiver "LB-2" has been produced at the Leningrad Telegraph Plant since 1925. ------------------------------------------- The receiver is assembled using a regenerative circuit and has 2 tunable circuits in the range of 250-2500 meters. Depending on the radio reception conditions and the need, only one circuit could be used (a simple circuit, the antenna variometer is replaced by a capacitor). Thanks to adjustable feedback, with a smooth approach to the generation threshold, the radio receiver can receive both local broadcast stations and radio stations located 1000 kilometers or more away.

Designed to intercept signals from radio stations operating AM, FM, CW. Frequency range from 210 to 440 MHz. Sensitivity 6 µV. 3 power options. Dimensions 285x285x320 mm. Weight 15 kg.
