"For now it is broadcasting in test mode on 88.4 FM. I know that our residents have a request for such programs. Not everyone has time to watch TV or search for topics on the Internet. We decided that radio is ideal for filling this niche," said the head of the region, Mahmud-Ali Kalimatov. He recalled that people spend a lot of time in the car and on the road; elders and housewives also like to listen to the radio, which does not distract them from their current affairs. "After these reflections, I instructed the management of NTRK Magas to create a new radio. I believe that its airwaves should be filled with programs on spiritual and moral topics, religious sermons, stories about the life and work of our Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), his companions, as well as our outstanding spiritual figures and national heroes. On such programs we will be able to educate our youth in the right direction," emphasized Mahmud-Ali Kalimatov. Director of the national television and radio company Shamsudin Bokov is confident that this project will be in demand not only in Ingushetia, but also in other regions, since next year NTRK plans to begin broadcasting Islamic radio on the Internet. gazetaingush.ru (https://onair.ru/main/enews/view_msg/NMID__87576/) Komi Republic. ------------------------ License.

In the collage there is a button from the postal and telegraph department of the model 1884 - 1917. The Main Directorate of Posts and Telegraphs (GUPT) is a state body of the Russian Empire in 1884-1917, dealing with the organization and activities of the postal and telegraph service.

I didn't even know such a hobby existed. And it all happened in 1987, when I turned 14 years old. Entering one of the stores selling household appliances, I saw a VEF 317 radio, which was what my parents were told about. My parents didn't mind and gave me money to buy it every month. And here I have it. On June 23, 1987, it was purchased for my birthday. Arriving home and turning on the HF band, I was surprised by the large number of stations in Russian. These were such giants as "Voice of America"*, Radio Liberty*, "Deutsche Welle"*, BBC* (* = (recognized as a foreign agent by the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation). Then I caught radio Baghdad, Tehran, Kabul. There were broadcasts from socialist countries: Albania, Romania (by the way, it is still broadcasting). I was also surprised by the large number of Protestant radio stations. Such as Voice of the Andes, Voice of Hope, TransWorld Radio, KFBS. And broadcasting was carried out not only from Europe, but also from the Middle East. From the USSR I listened to radio "Rodina" and "Atlantika", radio of the union republics. And in the morning, turning on the MW band, radio Volgograd was received on 567 kHz, Rostov-on-Don on 945 kHz, Adygea and Krasnodar on 1089 kHz, and a bunch of Turkish stations. In the evening, the NE hosted Azerbaijan, Armenia, Iran, and Romania. And it was all local broadcasting. And I decided to bring all the stations together. I started writing down their schedules. I didn't even realize it was DX. And it got me hooked. For many years. I didn't write letters to Western radio stations then. I was afraid. But when I heard the program Club DX with Pavel Mikhailov on the Moscow Radio World Service, I wrote. It was thanks to him that I learned how to write reception reports. And away we go. I started writing to Western stations and receiving QSL. A little later they showed me how to stretch the external antennas and then the signal in the receiver generally increased. I started receiving Africa, Oceania and Asia on HF. Namely, programs aimed specifically at these continents. Another hobby emerged: official radio broadcasting. Now DX is not the same. Many radio stations no longer exist. There is a lot of interference from household appliances, routers, and modern TVs. There is no clear air, even with an external antenna and a modern receiver, for example, like my Texan 680. Sometimes I want to immerse myself in clear air. And this despite the era of Internet development. But my VEF, unfortunately, is long gone. (Viktor Tsekhanovich, Kerch, Republic of Crimea, Russia).

Such cards (their official name is "QSL card" or "receipt card") were sent by radio amateurs to each other by mail as a sign of confirmation of a radio communication session. The number of cards and their geography told the specialist a lot about the professional qualifications of the radio amateur and his social weight. With the development of the Internet, the culture of amateur radio cards has withered away. Nowadays, confirmation of radio contact can be easily printed on a printer. It has become simpler and more efficient, but the poetry has been lost.

Perm Polytechnic University has developed a new durable touch screen that detects the touch point by sound. The surface of such a screen can be of any shape and from any material, even wood or a piece of metal. Modern displays on smartphones and tablets respond to touch thanks to a special layer that accumulates an electrical charge. Each touch of the finger removes part of the charge, the controller detects the change in electric current and finds the point of contact. But such screens are made of fragile materials and have many limitations. For example, they must be flat and uniform.

"I think it will be somewhere before March 1," said the head of the Ministry of Digital Development, Maksut Shadayev, answering a question about the timing of developing a decision. According to Shadayev, two main options are currently being considered. One of them is holding an auction with fair compensation to broadcasters for abandoning frequencies. The second scheme involves the transfer of frequencies to state companies, which will ensure their sharing by telecom operators. We are talking about the 700 MHz range - frequencies that were previously used for analogue television. After the transition of terrestrial TV to digital, broadcasters still have not agreed on the transmission of these frequencies.

It was an interesting series of programs, which was completely undeservedly forgotten during television civil strife. We are talking about the "Auction" program. As you know, there were no advertisements on Soviet television. Although, of course, there have been isolated attempts to create advertising programs without a commercial basis. In 1969, the leadership of the Ministry of Trade of the Soviet Union suggested that the State Television and Radio Directorate think about a program that would advertise some consumer goods. There was only one reason for creating such a program: some of the retail chain's reserves far exceeded the planned indicators. As a result, a series of advertising programs appeared, which was called "Auction". In essence, the program was a quiz. The action was directed by Vladimir Voroshilov, and the program itself was hosted by Anatoly Lysenko.

Aired on Sundays at 9-15. The song that gave the name to the program, Dobroe Utro, known at that time, performed by Mark Bernes, was played as the intro. The program featured songs by popular pop singers, as well as humorous works performed by satirist writers and theater artists. 45 minutes of good mood gave a positive charge for the whole day off. http://club-cccp.ucoz.ru/publ/sovetskie_ispolniteli/s_dobrym_utrom/19 Listen in Russian - https://disk.yandex.ru/d/3-q3s2VlXFnHIQ (http://clubcccp.ucoz.ru/index/radioperedachi_sssr/0-204) RADIO ENGINEERING.
