From the editor. -------------------- "30th anniversary of the bulletin in Russian." I recall in short essays my path into the DX hobby, which apparently reflects life in the USSR and the Russian Federation at that time. I would also be grateful for your memories of your steps into the world of radio. * At the end of the 60s of the last century, the "Sakta" radio was replaced in the house by the "Ural-111" radio, which I have kept to this day, as a memory of those long-ago years. Other than that, we bought radios - everything is simple here, to listen to gramophone records. Music was probably the hobby of every young man in those years, but the trend has probably continued even now. The network tube radio "Ural-111" has been produced since 1971 by the Sarapul plant named after Ordzhonikidze. Radiola ''Ural-111'' is a first-class all-wave radio receiver combined with a universal electric player. LW (150 - 408 kHz), MW (525 - 1605 kHz), SW-2 (3.95 - 7.4 MHz), SW-1 (9.36 - 12.1 MHz) + VHF. Reception of stations was good on all bands, but there was some frequency gap on SW. I received many regional radio stations from the European part of the USSR on the Ural-111 radio station and received many written confirmations of reception. Usually local broadcasting was in the morning and evening after 18.00 local time, but in those years football matches of the USSR Championship were regularly broadcast and the end of the broadcasts was later than in the broadcast schedules. Knowing the calendar of football games, I received stations that I would not have been able to receive due to the early end of their work. I learned the broadcast frequencies also from the media - regularly four times a year in the newspaper "Radio and TV Program", the schedule of stations on the LW and MW bands was published. At that time there was a schedule by season - winter, spring, summer and autumn. I remember the magazine "Television and Radio Broadcasting", which was on newsstands and although its circulation was small, for me, as a radio listener, the information section in each issue about the schedule of stations in the USSR was of interest. This was a time when every press kiosk had a Radio magazine and a newspaper, Soviet Patriot, which was published twice a week and which had a column about amateur radio news. I was interested in everything that had to do with radio. At large Moscow railway stations there were press kiosks where newspapers from different cities of the USSR were sold, which also contained interesting information about radio broadcasting. For example, at the Leningradsky railway station there were newspapers from Leningrad, Murmansk, Petrozavodsk and other large cities. At each station there were newspapers of large cities where long-distance trains departed and arrived. This was a time when information was only in printed publications. It is probably difficult to understand in the age of computers and cellular communications how we lived without the Internet and made calculations on a slide rule. For contacts with radio stations, I purchased a "Moscow" typewriter, which helped me, since a letter written by hand or on a typewriter are two very different things. The typewriter lasted a long time until the time came for computers and printers to print. I have kept the Ural-111 radio to this day as a memory of that time that can never be returned. In the 70s of the last century, the time came when the question arose about a new radio receiver that would have all the short wave bands for receiving stations. This is how I got a short-wave radio receiver "KW-M" (Dal-M), which was produced since 1943 at the Kasli radio plant, Chelyabinsk region. But that's another story.

"My childhood passed in the 90s and radio played a big role in it. As a child, it was interesting for me to listen to the VHF-2 (FM) band, since there was a lot of music there, it was recorded on audio cassettes. The house had an AIWA VHF/MW radio and a Soviet VHF radio alarm clock. When I was 8-9 years old, my parents gave me a pocket FM receiver, I took it with me everywhere, and I could also listen to several TV channels on it. But in store windows I looked at all-wave pocket receivers, but, unfortunately, there was no money for it. My first acquaintance with short waves was at about 9-10 years of age; my grandfather-relative gave me a Speedola-231 for several weeks. It was very surprising to hear foreign voices, looking at the scale with the names of cities... In adolescence, radio began to be replaced by a computer, discs with music, games, and the Internet. Later there were periods when I listened to the radio, for example on the way to work. About 3-4 years ago I had a dream that I was standing in line at a kiosk, and there were radios on display. So I remembered my childhood dream and decided to buy an all-wave receiver, and I got a little carried away..." - You can view the Speedola - 231 radio receiver (photo from the Internet) here - https://rusdx.blogspot.com/2023/12/231.html * Blog - QSL, photos + pictures: http://rusdx.blogspot.ru This week the total number of blog views exceeded 100000 (100221 as of December 16).

It should not be confused with another date - International Tea Day, established by the UN in 2019. The purpose of today's Day is to attract the attention of governments and citizens to the problems of tea sales, the relationship between tea sales and the situation of tea workers, small producers and consumers. And of course, the popularization of this drink. The decision to celebrate the holiday on December 15 was made after repeated discussions in many international organizations and trade unions during the World Social Forum, held in 2004 in Mumbai (Mumbai, India).

No, we weren't bought, we weren't sold into slavery :) We just wanted to revisit the history of radio broadcasting. And the very first post is an interesting fact. Few people know that the radio station could have had a different logo and therefore a different visual concept around it. Design studio "Demark" from Yerevan presented two logo designs for "Vladivostok FM" in 2010. The first one is made in the form of a drop in the sea and plays on the marine theme. The second is the letter "V" (from "Vladivostok"), stylized to resemble the eye of a Ussuri tiger.

STORY. ======================== * Russia and USSR ----------------------- - The radio receiver "Kvarts-401" has been produced by the Kyshtym Radio Plant since 1970. The radio receiver is designed to receive broadcasting stations in the LW and MW bands using an internal magnetic antenna. The model is assembled using seven transistors using a superheterodyne circuit. Sensitivity in the ranges: LW - 1.2 mV/m, MW - 0.65 mV/m. Selectivity for adjacent and mirror channels is 26...30 dB. The rated output power on the 0.1GD-6 loudspeaker is no less than 100, maximum 180 mW. The range of reproduced sound frequencies is 450...3000 Hz. Power is supplied from a Krona battery or a 7D-0.1 battery. Details in Russian + photo: http://www.rw6ase.narod.ru/index1/radiopriem/rp_pp/rp_pp2/kwarc401.html (http://www.rw6ase.narod.ru/) - The portable transistor radio receiver "Kvarts-402" has been produced by the Kyshtym Radio Plant since 1972. Quite a rare receiver in the USSR. It is a modernization of the Quartz-401 model of the same plant, produced in 1971. Instead of LW, the model uses a survey SW band, covering sections of 25, 31, 41 and 49 meters. The sensitivity of the radio receiver with a built-in telescopic antenna in the HF range is 300 µV. Selectivity for mirror channels is 12 dB. According to other technical characteristics, the Quartz-402 radio receiver coincides with the base one. The radio receiver was mainly produced for export, but was also sold in the USSR, and with English or Russian letters (rarely) in the name.

The receiver is a superheterodyne operating in the LW and MW ranges, assembled on six transistors of the P401 and P13A types, powered by a Krona battery or a 7D-0.12 battery with a voltage of 9 Volts.

This year, the station can neither print paper forms nor fill out electronic ones, like - fill out the electronic form yourself... Posted by Paul Flanagan, bdxc-news iog - "As mentioned previously, this year we are unable to print QSLs and send them the traditional way, with details of the reception: time, frequency, etc. We are unable to fill in these details in the current digital format, as this would take a long process of converting, editing and resaving for each QSL sent by each listener. This is why we're sending blanks, so you can keep them either as collector's items or fill the details yourselves. Hopefully our budget for 2024 will allow us to revert to our normal QSL routine."
