From the editor. От редактора. -------------------- "30th anniversary of the publication of the first issue of the bulletin in Russian." - The end of the 70s of the last century. The question arose about a new radio receiver that would have all the bands for receiving stations on low waves. In the USSR receivers that were sold in stores, the short wave range started at 25 meters, but of course I wanted to have bands of 19, 16, 13 and 11 meters, on which radio broadcasting also took place. But it all came down to the financial component. It was possible to buy a foreign-made receiver at a thrift store, but the cost of the device was high, and in the event of a breakdown, it would take so much money to repair it that it's even hard to imagine. I had to pay attention to USSR equipment, which was decommissioned from the army and was used in radio clubs and by short wave enthusiasts. The first such receiver I had was the KV-M. At that time, you could buy a receiver through advertisements that were on stands or in advertising newspapers. One of these places was the Moscow Post Office building, where I saw an advertisement for the sale of a receiver. Of course, the appearance was a little surprising, since much was painted over and the inscriptions on the iron body were handwritten. It was its owner who feared a negative attitude from neighbors and, in general, everything around him. After all, it was a short-wave radio receiver for military purposes "KV-M" (Dal-M), which was produced since 1943 at the Kasli radio plant, Chelyabinsk region. The radio receiver was widely used by shortwave radio amateurs. It is enough to open, for example, any issue of Radio magazine from the 1950s - and you can see it in reportage photographs of amateur and professional signalmen. Received frequency range: 1.5 - 27.4 MHz. Operating mode: AM, CW. Dimensions: 480 x 265 x 375 mm. Weight: 24 kg. The radio receiver had high sensitivity thanks to a 2-stage RF amplifier and a 4-stage IF amplifier. There is a quartz calibrator and a narrow filter, bass and IF gain adjustments, and an indication of supply voltages. A convenient rotating workbench illumination lamp facilitated the operator's work in difficult conditions. External power supply unit. 6K7 lamps in the receiver were changed only a few times and they could always be found in stores at that time. This is the only consumable item. I bought some good headphones to go with it and found a place on my desk. It served me for a long time and I eventually passed it on to the next owner in working order. You can see a picture of the receiver (photo from the Internet) here: https://rusdx.blogspot.com/2023/12/blog-post_16.html But time passed. Ahead was the time of perestroika in the USSR. "Perestroika" is a common name used to refer to fundamental changes in the economic and political structure of the USSR, initiated by the General Secretary of the CPSU Central Committee Mikhail Sergeevich Gorbachev in 1985- 1991. At the end of 1991, the collapse of the USSR occurred - the cessation of the existence of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, and with it the collapse of everything, including the army. And new radios from army warehouses appeared on sale. This is how I got the R250-M receiver. But that's a completely different story.

The following TV channels do not broadcast: news TVP Info and English-language TVP World for foreign countries, as well as regional news editions of the TVP3 TV channel. The changes are due to the fact that on Tuesday, December 19, the lower house of the Polish parliament (Sejm) adopted a resolution "On the restoration of legal order, impartiality and integrity of state media and the Polish Press Agency." 244 deputies voted for the resolution, 84 were against, 16 deputies abstained... And so, later, the leadership of the Polish state media - national television TVP (Telewizja Polska) and radio Polskie Radio, as well as the Polish press agency (Polska Agencja Prasowa - PAP) - was dismissed by the decision of the new Minister of Culture and National Heritage of Poland Bartłomiej Henryk Sienkiewicz.
