The antenna for this test has a circular radiation pattern. The most reliable reception is possible in the territories of Eastern Europe, the Baltic States, the Republic of Belarus, Northern Europe, and the European Part of Russia. We will hear where it will actually be during the test. A test at this frequency has already been carried out. But another transmitter was working - a German one. At 100 kW. For this test, one of the Soviet tube transmitters of the Radio Center is used (created on the basis of the Typhoon), with a reduced output power. As I already wrote, previously the transmitter operated at a frequency of 1215 kHz. The tuning to 549 kHz was made due to the characteristics of the antenna used.

"George, good morning! In response to your request in the "Viewer's Account" I inform you the following. The decision to activate the high-power broadcast complex in the village of Bolshakovo has not been made at the moment. Currently, test switching on of transmission equipment is carried out occasionally at the facility. There is no talk of full-fledged broadcasting of radio stations from this facility yet. Therefore, we cannot give recommendations on how to configure viewers' equipment to receive medium-wave radio. Information on the selection and configuration of equipment for receiving digital terrestrial television and radio broadcasting is posted on our official website: https://kaliningrad.rtrs.ru/... " - Kaliningrad Radio Center #5. In the past, he was the leader of domestic broadcasting abroad. Unique transmitters, antennas. But first of all - people. After the closure of Voice of Russia, the center became an object of oblivion. There were prospects, like most similar enterprises. But this did not happen, despite all the prerequisites. A year ago, it was decided to breathe life into the center. Try to revive the giants that once broadcast 2500 kW. We reassembled a team of those who had faithfully served at the Radio Center for many years. The condition of the transmitters was far from ideal. Dampness and corrosion took their toll. Some of the support systems were destroyed. People didn't give up. Despite everything, we went towards our goal. Simply because these transmitters are their life.

In this regard, deputies (United Russia members in the first place) turned to the Presidential Administration with an urgent request to provide in the budget for funding for parliamentary television as a large-scale federal channel. Now "DUMA TV" broadcasts in several formats. Broadcasting is carried out on the website www.dumatv.ru, as well as on digital services and platforms: MegaFon TV, Megogo, Onlime and Lime HD. The Rossiya-24 TV channel broadcasts the "Parliamentary Hour" program weekly. But, as it turned out, this is not enough for the deputies - and they want to be the "stars" of the airwaves.

To understand how a radio receiver works, I chose the profession of radio engineer and have been working in communications for more than thirty years. Now I am searching for radio interference (more precisely, I am the head of those fighters who are looking for interference in the fields). But initially I became "sick" of "Formula 1" (this is auto racing), and when I saw the schedule of the Russian BBC service in the "England" magazine, I thought that they would talk about "Formula 1" in all sorts of ways in their sports section ", because most of the teams are British, like my favorite driver Nigel Mansell. Then there was not enough information, and I was very excited about the idea of receiving it on the radio. Of the two receivers available in our sports store, I liked the Meridian-325 better, which they bought for me, and I began to master it. Quite quickly I realized that there was a lot of extremely interesting things there, and the discoveries needed to be recorded somehow. I had a notebook for various notes, in which I began to write down my findings. It looked like this at the very beginning. The receiver only had an overview scale, which would have been completely insane to determine frequencies, but the creators wisely placed a scale from 1 to 10 on the side, which could be used to determine the position of the rizki without reference to frequencies or wavelengths. I took advantage of this, writing down the technological subrange (LW, MW, SW1, SW2) and the "coordinate" of the rizka. Photo - Spring 1995. In a T-shirt from Canadian radio.

''Iren-401'' is the first domestic small-sized receiver designed for receiving radio stations in the VHF- FM range.

There is little information about the radio receiver. The radio receiver was produced at the Mari Machine-Building Plant, abbreviated as MMZ (city of Yoshkar-Ola). The radio receiver was released only in a pilot batch of several thousand copies. According to former workers of the plant, the radio receiver turned out to be expensive in terms of cost and could not compete in price with similar ones, so the decision was made to discontinue its production.

The corresponding resolution was signed by Prime Minister Ali Asadov, Day.Az reports. According to the document, the goal is to ensure digitization in the field of radio broadcasting, the efficient use of frequency resources, the introduction of modern and higher quality radio broadcasting in the country, the organization of new types of digital information services, as well as strengthening the security of the airspace. Since August 26, 2019, test broadcasting of digital radio in the DAB+ standard has been carried out in the city of Baku and on the territory of the Absheron Peninsula. As a result of the implementation of the action plan, by 2026 it is planned to cover about 70% of the cities and regional centers of the republic, as well as main roads, with digital radio broadcasting, and by 2027 - 99.6% of the country's territory. At the end of the process, a complete transition to digital radio broadcasting will be ensured throughout the country. The transition will take into account the number of vehicles equipped with digital radio, the adequacy of sales of DAB+ radios, and the level of public awareness. At the same time, it is planned to take appropriate measures to stimulate the import of digital radio equipment into the country and provide support to broadcasters. day.az (https://onair.ru/main/enews/view_msg/NMID__87283/) * Poland. ------------ Recently, an archival amateur radio document in English came across on the Internet - pages from the April 1947 edition of "Short Wave News" (http://www.ontheshortwaves.com/Stations/SWN_stn_profiles.pdf). "Description of station No. 10" (its subtitle) is clearly taken from Polish sources, possibly from an information booklet of the English edition of Polish Radio. Here is its Russian translation. - Polish Radio. The shortwave station "Warsaw III" was established and began regular operation from Lublin on January 31, 1944. On the same day, the Polish National Liberation Committee gave way to the newly created Provisional Government. The early stages of "Warsaw III" are undoubtedly unique in the history of radio - what other station can claim to have been installed and operated from a railway carriage for the first time! At first, programs were broadcast in English, French, Russian and Polish. Moreover, a lot of time was devoted to programs designed to help members of the Polish armed forces find their missing relatives. Although the radio station broadcast mainly its own programs, rebroadcasts from the local Lublin Radio were also quite frequent. In April 1945, the radio station was moved to Warsaw, where it resumed broadcasting on May 2. The next stage in the history of Warsaw III occurred between July and August 1945, as during this time the radio station was moved from its humble railway carriage and installed in the newly renovated Warsaw I Radio building. Shortly thereafter, the radio station began its Yiddish-language programs, broadcast four times a week. In November, daily broadcasts to Yugoslavia began. In September 1946, broadcasting in Esperanto was launched and is now broadcast once a week. Following this, Bulgarian programs began in October. The last language to be added to the schedule will be Spanish and will be at the time of reading this article (that is, April 1947). Broadcasts in foreign languages are managed by the Program Director. The editors develop materials for individual programs, and each program in a foreign language has its own department and staff. Each department has its own quota of translators, announcers, etc. The technical side is taken care of by the technical director and his staff. The station operates on a frequency of 6100 kHz with a power of 7500 W from 16.00 to 23.00 GMT. Daily news releases contain news from Poland from a political, economic and cultural point of view. In addition, daily press reviews and special materials such as sports news, periodical reviews, conversations on cultural and scientific topics, etc. are published from time to time. Reports. Reception Reports are welcome and should be sent to the following address: Foreign Liaison, Polskie Radio, Noakowskiego 20, Warsaw. - It follows from the article that broadcasting from Poland in Russian will turn 80 years old on January 31, 2024. I can't say for sure, but maybe this date is also an anniversary for foreign broadcasting in Poland. Broadcasting on HF in Russian was discontinued around 1954. From July 22, 1953, broadcasts from Poland "Warsaw Speaks" began to appear with varying regularity on All-Union Radio under the heading "Voices of Friends" as part of the mutual exchange of radio programs between socialist countries and continued until approximately 1988. In the 1960s-80s, news broadcasts in Russian were regularly broadcast on the waves of the Warsaw I station on the Far East frequency of 227 kHz, where there was a very powerful transmitter. Broadcasting in Russian on short waves resumed on July 1, 1990 and continues to this day mainly on the Internet, as well as via satellite and on medium waves through a Lithuanian transmitter (1 transmission per day). Broadcasting on the Internet is carried out simultaneously on two sites and two web channels with a Russian-language daily volume of 14 hours. At the same time, two half- hour programs are broadcast many times each day.

The English Service Radio Romania International * Radio Canada has switched off its time signal, which had been broadcast every day since 1939. -------------------------------- This week, after nearly 84 years of broadcasting, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) switched off its once-a-day time signal. Thus ended one of the longest running radio programs in history. Since November 5, 1939, CBC Radio One has broadcast a time signal from the National Research Council once a day. The signal sounded at the top of the hour (1 pm in Ontario, 10 am in British Columbia). The radio broadcast has survived two monarchs, 13 prime ministers and 27 sessions of Parliament, noted Craig Baird, host of the Canadian History podcast Ehx. "The way the signal disappeared unceremoniously took people by surprise," Baird was quoted as saying by The Guardian. - The listeners missed the chance to say goodbye. It's like missing the finale of a series you've been watching for years."

According to the prepared amendments to the Law "On Broadcasting", TV channels that violate the requirement to prohibit the dissemination of hate speech and calls for terrorism will first receive a warning. In case of repeated commission of a similar violation within a year, a fine will be imposed in the amount of 0.5% of income for the last year up to GEL 2,500. In case of repeated similar violation, the amount of the fine increases. The decision can be appealed to the Communications Regulatory Commission. "As for these regulations, everything from start to finish is based on the EU directive. This bill was sent to the European Union, we proposed options, they pointed to one of three, and we accept it, end of story. This is a directive of the European Union," Kobakhidze explained. IA Krasnaya Vesna (https://tele-satinfo.ru/index.php?id=17820) * The Cabinet of Ministers of Armenia is considering all scenarios regarding Russian TV channels. ---------------------------------------------- The Cabinet of Ministers of Armenia is considering all possible options for action regarding Russian television channels. Including their shutdown, Minister of High-Tech Industry Robert Khachatryan said at a briefing. According to the minister, the agreement that the ministry signed with Russian television channels involves certain steps if violations are detected. The Cabinet of Ministers intends to take these steps - which ones will become known later. Earlier, the ruling Civil Contract party said that the Armenian authorities are discussing the possibility of shutting down Russian TV channels. According to deputies, the content of Russian television is allegedly anti-Armenian and threatens the security of the country. tvc.ru (https://tele-satinfo.ru/index.php?id=17810) * The Russian representative office of Google has been declared bankrupt. ---------------------------------------- The Moscow Arbitration Court has ruled to declare the Russian subsidiary of Google bankrupt, Interfax reports [https://www.interfax.ru/russia/926491].
