Machine translation: http://translate.google.ru & https://translate.yandex.ru/ & https://www.bing.com/translator ----------------------------------------------------------------- Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! There is very little left until the new year 2024. I made mistakes this year, as any person makes mistakes, and perhaps I was unfair about some news that I did not publish on the pages of the newsletter. Some of the news contained information that was not fully verified, and there was also criticism of the editor of the newsletter, for which we thank you very much. It is a pity that the resentment of the authors of the messages affected future contacts. I am always open for contacts. I think it would be fair to leave everything bad in this year, which is coming to an end. There are hours left until 2024, which will not be easy, but let us hope for the best and strive to overcome difficulties. I want to wish you a lot of the most beautiful things: that your health is good, that luck is a constant companion, and that your soul is filled with warmth and happiness! I wish you well-being and prosperity in your home, so that your financial situation is strong, and you can afford everything you want, so that your loved ones always please, give love and care! Let every new day be colored with bright events, new interesting knowledge, pleasant meetings and impressions! New successes in the radio hobby! Happy New Year and Merry Christmas!

Map of world radio stations. http://radio.garden/live/ - Do you think New Year can be celebrated only once a year? You are wrong. In our country, due to the fact that Russia is geographically divided into several time zones, this can be done 11 times. Imagine, you can make 11 wishes that will definitely come true, you just need to know in what order Russians celebrate the New Year. In what order do they celebrate the New Year in Russia and in the world? Moscow time. - You can safely make your first wish at 15.00. by Moscow time. It is at this time that residents of Kamchatka raise their glasses and wish all the best to their loved ones and friends. - At 16.00 they celebrate the New Year in the Magadan region and Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk. - AT 17:00. When the chimes strike, they burn a piece of paper with a cherished wish and drink it along with champagne in Vladivostok, Khabarovsk and Ussuriysk. - At 18.00. this will be done in Chita, Blagoveshchensk, Transbaikalia and the Amur region. At the same time, in Yakutia, the spirit of cold - Chyskhaan (our Grandfather Frost) fulfills all wishes, for this you just need to touch his magic staff and say your wish out loud. - At 19.00 they celebrate the New Year in Irkutsk, Ulan-Ude and Buryatia. - At 20.00. in the Krasnoyarsk, Altai Territories, Kemerovo, Tomsk, Novosibirsk regions, in the Republic of Tyva. - At 21.00. They make another wish together with the residents of the Omsk region. - AT 22.00. the cities of Chelyabinsk, Tyumen, Perm, the Republic of Bashkortostan and the Sverdlovsk region. - 23.00. The New Year will reach Udmurtia, Samara and Togliatti, just one hour and it will reach Moscow. - At 24.00. on Red Square, the chimes will strike, fireworks will go off, and festivities will begin. - But the holiday will hurry on, and at one in the morning it will come to the Kaliningrad region. So, there is a chance to make another wish even after 12 o'clock at night - at 01.00. In what order do they celebrate the New Year in Russia and in the world?

"30th anniversary of the publication of the first issue of the bulletin in Russian." -------------------------------------------------- * Collage. History of the newsletter. Postal period 1994-2013. (Ruslan Slavutsky, Moskovskaya oblast, Russia) The collage can be viewed here: https://rusdx.blogspot.com/2023/12/1994-2013.html * Collage. Wanted! (editor) The collage can be viewed here: https://rusdx.blogspot.com/2023/12/blog-post_23.html * The bulletin was published on paper from 1994 to 2013. Since 2004, an electronic weekly version began to be published in parallel. Of course, the paper newsletter is pleasant to hold in your hands, but the main drawback is that the time delay of information was significant and in January 2004 it was decided to publish a parallel weekly electronic version, thereby achieving the main thing - the newsletter became completely free (the price of the paper version included paper, envelopes, postage, electricity for printing on a printer, etc.) and the information became available without a time delay. The transition was smooth, but when a few subscribers to the paper version remained, it became clear that the paper version was no longer profitable and was closed. The Internet has replaced the paper version. The release of any paper publication depends on the circulation, but the main thing is that the information is delayed from one to several months, which for me has simply become an unacceptable phenomenon in the Internet era. Thus, the printed version of the newsletter became history. But how did the newsletter begin to be published in the first place? That's another story. * At the end of the 90s of the last century, I got a "R250M2" receiver, which came with all the documents, including a full description of the device's operation and two factory suitcases of spare parts for repairing the receiver and replacing lamps in case of unforeseen circumstances. "R-250/M/M2" ("R-670/M") is a legendary, beloved by many radio amateurs, short-wave, tube, trunk, tabletop army radio receiver. Produced from 1948 to 1981 in several modifications. Extended range (1.5 - 33.5 MHz). Designed to receive telephone and telegraph signals. Mains power via power supply. The dimensions of the receiver without stabilizers are 650x450x460 mm. I first saw this receiver in the army in the mid-70s of the last century, when I served in the radio engineering troops. The radio operators had several receivers on their desks. But the excellent antenna made it possible to receive the most low-power radio stations. Of course, in the army, the receiver was used to receive official broadcasts. In addition, my service took place high in the mountains, where there was no urban interference. During my entire service in the army, I did not get into a group to study Morse code, which I regretted. But at the beginning of his service, he was at a transmitting center with a large antenna field and an autonomous transmitter for communication, and then he ended up in the mountains at a "radio point" where 30 people served. I was trained everywhere on the spot, fortunately, I already had a specialty as an electrician and knew the basics of radio engineering. It was a good time after all. Later, one thing influenced the replacement of the receiver - the weight of the device (90 kilograms) and I handed it over to another radio amateur. It became simply difficult for me to transport it. And yet, for better reception you need to have a good antenna, but in urban conditions this is simply not feasible (over time, access to the roof of the 16- story building where I had an antenna was closed). Therefore, after many years of using the receiver, I gave it to a radio amateur in the countryside, where it was possible to string an antenna worthy of this device. What is characteristic is that the device showed its best side and never let us down - everything worked like a clock. Perhaps because it was from a warehouse and, like any equipment in the USSR, durability and reliability in operation for many years were built into it. After the R250M2, no other stationary Russian receiver could surprise me with its qualities. I started switching completely to portable radios. But that is another story. Picture of the R-250M2 receiver (from the Internet) - https://rusdx.blogspot.com/2023/12/2502.html (Editor) * I thank Alexander Shchepochkin from Tula for telling me his journey in the world of the DX hobby. Alexander wrote: "I can't help but respond to the invitation to talk about how I became interested in DXing. I'll start from very far away. Of course, my family and friends are to blame for everything, in a good way. My father and my uncle have been interested in radio engineering since childhood. In the third grade of school, I soldered lights for the New Year tree for the first time. And then I decided not to be an astronaut, not a doctor, not a veterinarian, but to go study, like my father, to become a radio engineer. In high school, I spent all my summer holidays at an apiary in the Plavsky district of the Tula region. We lived in a forested area where there was no television, but only a radio from an IZH Combi Ural Auto car. There I first heard foreign stations of the BBC and Voice of America. And of course, the native World Service of Moscow Radio. I didn't even know what DXing was. Everything changed in 1992, when I was already studying at the Tula Polytechnic Institute (after graduating from Tula State University in 1996) at the Faculty of Technical Cybernetics, majoring in Radio Engineering. Naturally, communication with teachers, classmates, and radio amateurs greatly expanded my horizons. And then, quite by accident, on the radio "Leningrad 006" (which my uncle gave me) I tuned in to the wave of "International Canadian Radio". There was a program on air called "DX Club" with Maya Kaminskaya, and the topic of the program was about DXing and the correctness of drawing up reception reports. Unfortunately, I don't remember the broadcast date of the program. I decided to try to receive several radio stations and send reports. My first QSL is dated January 10, 1993 - TWR 15.00-16.00 UTC 11645 kHz 100 kW. Letter from Nikolai Pashkevich. You can probably count my experience in DXing from this date. "Leningrad 006". A good radio receiver, but there is no digital scale, so I found my way around by indicating the frequency in the report that was being broadcast. But one day I was walking home from the institute and passed by a thrift store that sold televisions, radios, vinyl, reels, radio parts and all sorts of interesting little things that could be found either in this thrift store or at a flea market. Here I immediately caught my eye "Ishim 003" (which I still have in working order). I asked the seller to leave it for a couple of hours and take the money home. Then it started: Radio Japan, Radio Sweden, Radio Slovakia, Voice of Greece, Voice of the Andes (QSL from Sergei Sosedkin). Many stations are no longer on the air (Voice of Orthodoxy, Nadezhda, Samorodinka, Memory, St. Helena Island) and others. Through correspondence, I met a DXist from Moscow, Mikhail Akimov, who published the "Russian DX Corner" newsletter [picture # 1]. I am attaching from the archive 2 scanned issues from September 1994 and January 1995. At one time I helped in photocopying the newsletter, but, unfortunately, this did not last long. The most interesting meeting was at the Central Regional Commission on May 7. I already saw the photo in the newsletter, but I'm attaching mine again. My happy face squatting on the left [picture #2]. It was very interesting to talk in person. Well, then there were meetings in Moscow with Vadim Alekseev (at one of the meetings I met Valentina Zholkver DW*), with Seryoga Smykov, and through business trips I personally knew Sasha Berezkin (now we cooperate fruitfully) and was acquainted (unfortunately, it's a pity ), with Alexey Osipov. With Pomor Dimon Antipin from Severodvinsk. By the way, the Moscow DX-brothers and Pomor visited me twice in Tula (Yasnaya Polyana, gingerbread, Tula Kremlin, cultural recreation (everything is normal) in nature). [picture #3]. Sorry, Pomor three times, I stopped by once on the way for a couple of days. As for technology, I now have a Grundig YB-400, LW-20 m antenna. I live in a private house (5 km from Yana Polyana, but within the Central District of Tula). That's why I stretched out such an antenna, I want to modernize it a little, but I don't have time yet. I listen to the radio regularly, but confirmations by mail do not arrive as often as before. I don't like electronic QSLs, but you can't argue with time. And the specifics of my work in connection with the situation... I will not expand further. Anatoly, there may be a lot of personalities listed, and not technical issues, but I not only like to listen to the radio, but I especially prefer personal communication. Everyone is 73! The ladies are 88! And happy New Year and Merry Christmas to everyone! Well, happy 30th anniversary of the newsletter!!! Date, however!!! Keep it up, Anatoly!!! Sincerely, Alexander Shchepochkin, Tula." - Addition to the letter: - Pictures sent by Alexander can be viewed here - picture # 1 - https://rusdx.blogspot.com/2023/12/1.html picture #2 - https://rusdx.blogspot.com/2023/12/2.html picture #3 - https://rusdx.blogspot.com/2023/12/3.html - DW* = from July 1, 2022, "Deutsche Welle" (Deutsche Welle, recognized as a foreign agent media in the Russian Federation). - I am not posting 2 scanned issues of the Russian DX Corner newsletter dated September 1994 and January 1995 for technical reasons, since the editor does not have the copyright to publish them. - Dear readers, I would be very grateful for your story about the DX hobby and the path to the vast radio world. Write. Unfortunately, a lot of things go down in history, which can no longer be brought back.

The radio is broadcast daily, around the clock in the FM band at a frequency of 87.5 MHz. Radio "ISKATEL" can be received by 698.2 thousand people - residents of the republican capital and nearby settlements within a radius of more than 50 km. "It is symbolic that "Iskatel" - not only a music and entertainment, but also an educational radio station that talks a lot about travel - begins broadcasting on New Year's Eve. On the eve of this magical time, I would like to wish that the new radio station becomes a guide and assistant in fulfilling their cherished desires for everyone who wants to learn more about the world and our country, to discover something bright and amazing," noted the director of the Udmurt branch of RTRS Tatiana Berezovskaya. Radio "Iskatel" became the 20th radio station, FM broadcasting of which in Izhevsk is provided by the Udmurt branch of RTRS. According to Tatyana Berezovskaya, the driver for the development of FM radio broadcasting was, in many ways, the transition to digital terrestrial television. "By the time of digitalization, in many large cities the frequency resource was practically exhausted. Thanks to the more economical "digital", where on one frequency channel there is not just one program, but as many as ten, and the shutdown of analogue broadcasting, frequencies began to be freed up. Accordingly, it became possible to launch new radio stations in the FM range," she emphasized. The Udmurt Republican Radio and Television Transmission Center (URRTC) is the main operator of on-air television and radio broadcasting in the region. The company was founded in 1932; Since 2002, it has been part of the Federal State Unitary Enterprise "Russian Television and Radio Broadcasting Network" (RTRS).

And that's why. -------------------------------------------------- ---- All due to the end of support for Windows 10. Many computers will not survive the transition to a new version of the OS. Canalys analysts studied the PC market and gave a forecast for the next two years. According to experts, many users will abandon their devices due to the end of support for Windows 10. On October 14, 2025, Microsoft will stop releasing updates for Windows 10. Not all PC owners will be able to upgrade to the new version of the operating system due to problems with hardware requirements. According to experts, approximately a fifth of devices will become electronic waste due to incompatibility with Windows 11. This corresponds to 240 million computers. If all these devices were laptops stacked on top of each other, they would form a pile 600 km above the Moon.

According to Vedomosti, Rostelecom will raise prices from January 2024 by 5-6%. The provider has already started sending SMS letters warning about price increases, but such letters do not come to everyone, but only to users of certain tariffs. In monetary terms, Rostelecom's tariffs will rise in price by 20-30 rubles.

Thus, the IT Committee of the State Duma and the Ministry of Digital Development are jointly working on the issue of optimizing the number of types of communication services that are subject to licensing. Alexander Khinshtein spoke about this at a press conference following the results of the year, Kommersant reports [https://www.kommersant.ru/doc/6413745?tg]. According to him, at the moment there are 21 types of communication, including postal. And many of them have lost their relevance today. Although at the same time there are no licenses for such a popular type of communication as, for example, IP telephony. Thus, it would be logical to reduce the number of types of licenses to 7-8 of the most relevant ones, the deputy believes.

After the start of a special military operation (SVO), the American company stopped supplying new servers; existing ones are gradually breaking down, while traffic is constantly growing and requires expanding the infrastructure. According to RBC [https://www.rbc.ru/technology_and_media/25/12/2023/6585c3239a79478e653d35d1], in early December, the American corporation invited Russian operators to organize a direct connection in Moscow or St. Petersburg to maintain access to services. Before this, all information was stored on special Google Global Cache servers installed on the networks of Russian operators. At the same time, the head of strategic development of data transmission at VimpelCom (the legal entity under which Beeline operates) Konstantin Kolesov explained that they are short-lived, and this jeopardizes the quality of YouTube's work. The general director of the operator Ihome, Andrei Gorbunov, told the publication that Google has already sent a letter to Russian operators proposing a change in the format of cooperation. An American company proposed to modernize joints in Moscow. In recent years, Russian courts have several times imposed turnover fines on Google amounting to tens of billions of rubles [https://telesputnik.ru/materials/companies/news/sud-v-moskve-oshtrafoval-google-na-4-6-mlrd-rubley -za-lgbt- content].

On December 24, Polish President Andrzej Duda vetoed a budget law providing for funding of state media in 2024. "In connection with the president's decision to suspend funding for state media, I have decided to liquidate Telewizja Polska S.A. ("Polish Television"), Polskie Radio S.A. ("Polish Radio"), Polskiej Agencji Prasowej S.A. ("Polish Press Agency")," Mr. Sienkiewicz said on Twitter. According to the minister, such a measure will allow for the necessary restructuring and prevent layoffs of employees. Mr. Sienkiewicz emphasized that the liquidation can be revoked by the "owner" (that is, the authorities themselves) "at any time." On December 20, Poland's new government, led by Donald Tusk, announced the dismissal of state media executives in order to "restore the impartiality of the media." After this, Andrzej Duda called on the cabinet to "respect the Polish legal order" and then vetoed the 2024 budget law, which provided for the allocation of 3 billion zlotys to finance state media.
