Machine translation: http://translate.google.ru & https://translate.yandex.ru/ & https://www.bing.com/translator ----------------------------------------------------------------- ============== EDITOR'S NEWS. ============== * Question from reader Evgeniy about the Mayak radio station. -------------------------------------------------- ------- "During the holidays, I listened to Mayak a lot on our 103.4 MHz, and recently re-read this article from 2004 on the 40th anniversary of Mayak: http://lib.broadcasting.ru/articles2/Mashina/mnogolikaya_radiost_mayak. It says that at one time "Mayak" could be listened to on short waves. There was information about this in the bulletin in 2001, but then this broadcast was only official. Maybe you can remember how Mayak broadcast on short waves? Maybe it was in the 80s? ..." --- Extended answer - In the 70-80s, I listened to the Mayak radio station with excellent quality in Moscow on the medium wave 549 kHz (synchronous broadcast network throughout the country) and the long wave 198 kHz and somehow the broadcast on short waves passed by, so I ask for help tell readers of the newsletter or provide a link to resources that would answer the reader's question. This year on August 1, the station will celebrate its 60th anniversary and hopefully something new will appear from the history of the station, including the history of shortwave broadcasting. In the late 60s and early 70s, I remember from my childhood, in the morning from 07.05 to 07.30 I listened to the humorous program "25 Again," which was broadcast on the waves of the Mayak radio station. In the 70s, the program was closed due to a seemingly absurd coincidence of circumstances. In February 1976, the XXV Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union took place and the combination "25" influenced the closure of the humorous program. I remember the program "Record on your tape recorder." Pop songs from all over the world were broadcast on the program, and I recorded them on my tape recorder. There were a lot of music programs on the air, and most importantly with good quality, which is probably why I didn't listen to the station in Moscow on short waves. Now that there is the Internet, it is possible to restore something, but much is a thing of the past and is being restored with great difficulty. The people of that time pass away, and with them the memory of the long past goes away. A little from the large Internet information about the station: - First, it would be interesting to listen to the call signs of Radio Mayak from the 60s. The first line, "not even a rustle can be heard in the garden," chimed the clock. The second "everything here froze until the morning" - "half an hour". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RCkIoEauIq4 - Call signs of Radio Mayak. 1980. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ty-fDcirCLo] - The melody "Moscow Nights" was chosen as the call sign, which is still used to this day. Today, few people remember that the first two "minor" bars of this song ("Not even a rustle can be heard in the garden...") in the 1960s sounded only in multiples of one hour (9:00, 13:00, 18:00, etc.) P.). In the half-hour interval (9:30, 13:30, 18:30, etc.) the third and fourth, "major" bars sounded ("Everything here froze until the morning"), which made it possible to conveniently determine the time by ear with an accuracy of half an hour. Subsequently, the call signs were unified.

If the bulletin had been formed earlier, then most likely there would have been earlier messages. Shortwave broadcasting was sent to those areas where it was impossible to receive the station on the DV and SV bands, plus for geologists, sailors and fishermen, Soviet embassies and Russians who lived in foreign countries. #5 (May, 1994). Message from Mikhail Timofeev from Leningrad about the broadcast of the station through the Leningrad transmitter 05.00-15.30 Moscow time at a frequency of 15380 kHz and 13.00-13.30 Moscow time at a frequency of 21590 kHz. #9 (September, 1994). Message from Nikolai Rudnev from the Belgorod region about the broadcast of Radio Mayak through the Novosibirsk transmitter at frequencies 7135, 12010 and 12020 kHz. #9 (September, 1994). Message from "Passport to World Band Radio" about the feeder relay channels of the Mayak radio station in USB mode at frequencies 7490 (Khabarovsk), 9180 kHz (Moscow), 10690 kHz (Novosibirsk), 10855 kHz (Ekaterinburg), 13820 kHz (Moscow), 18730 kHz (Moscow). #14 (Feb. 1995). Message from Taras Rynza from Voronezh about the station's broadcasting on frequencies 3955 Hz (Khabarovsk), 4040 kHz (Vladivostok), 4520 kHz (Khanty-Mansiysk), 6005 kHz (Khabarovsk), 7135 kHz, 12010 kHz and 12020 kHz (Novosibirsk) --- In 1980-90, frequency schedules were published in the monthly magazine "Television and Radio Broadcasting" and the weekly newspaper of program schedules "Television-Radio". The magazine "Television and Radio Broadcasting" was published from 1952 to 1992. It was a monthly Soviet literary-critical and theoretical illustrated magazine, the organ of the USSR State Television and Radio. In 1952-1956 it was published as a bulletin "To help local radio broadcasting", in 1957-1970 - the magazine "Soviet Radio and Television", in 1970-1989 - under the name "Television. Radio Broadcasting", in 1989-1991 - "Television and Radio Broadcasting", in 1991-1992 - "Television and Radio Broadcasting". The pages of the magazine covered the problems of the development of television and radio broadcasting as mass media, issues of mutual influence of television and various types of art, published reviews of television films, interviews with television directors and television scriptwriters, actors and pop performers involved in television productions and television programs, and ran a column with letters from television viewers. Schedules of broadcasts were also published indicating times and frequencies. --- Radio stations in the USSR, including radio station "Mayak" World Radio TV Handbook 1975 https://archive.org/details/wrth1975/mode/2up?view=theater USSR https://archive.org/details/wrth1975/page/114/mode/2up?view=theater https://archive.org/details/wrth1975/page/116/mode/2up?view=theater https://archive.org/details/wrth1975/page/118/mode/2up?view=theater https://archive.org/details/wrth1975/page/120/mode/2up?view=theater https://archive.org/details/wrth1975/page/122/mode/2up?view=theater (https://archive.org/) Republican 2nd prgr's: Most republics have a 2nd prgr. in the main language of the republic.

The IVB program was designed for the population of the Omsk, Tomsk, Kemerovo and Novosibirsk regions and was broadcast daily from 02.00 to 22.00 hours and, in addition, from 03.00 to 05.00 hours for the population of the Urals and Central Asia, i.e. during hours when the first program was absent. The IVA program was designed for all other regions of Siberia and the Far East and was broadcast daily from 22.00 to 18.00. Transmissions of the main programs for radio nodes and radio listeners - I, IVA and IVB - were carried out through a network of powerful reference long-wave radio broadcasting stations (frequencies 151, 155, 173, 236 and 263 kHz), as well as through a network of radio stations operating on short waves in bands 13, 16, 19, 25, 31, 41, 49 and 74 m. Started in August 1964 broadcasting of the second central radio program - "Mayak". Its transmissions were carried out through the network reference high-power radio broadcasting stations on medium and short waves. In addition, "Mayak" was rebroadcast by many local broadcast stations on meter waves. In detail in Russian - Bulletin of Tomsk State University. Story. 2013. No. 1 (21) V.V. Mirkin.

[https://cyberleninka.ru/article/n/k-istorii-sovetskoy-radiosvyazi-i-radioveschaniya-v-1945-1965-gg] --- Logos of the Mayak radio station. https://papik.pro/grafic/logotip/12308-radio-majak-logotip-49-foto.html --- In answering the reader's question, although I know that all over the world people read more than they report news about radio, a new question arose for the readers of the newsletter - there is a lot of interesting information in online libraries about radio. What libraries do you use (in Russia and other countries) and what are the conditions - free access, payment, etc.? This would take less time searching for a variety of material on the history of radio development and answering many readers' questions. --- I am finishing my message about the Mayak radio station from Evgeniy himself. The material on the question was prepared for several weeks, so Evgeniy contributed by traveling across the vast Internet, for which we thank him, since the topic is multifaceted and interesting. - I'm looking at what recordings of "Mayak" broadcasts on SW are available on YouTube. Here, in a recording from 1979 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=anmfrW4v8wA) there is the following information (transmission at a frequency of 9815 kHz): "The Mayak informs. In Western European countries, Central European time from 15 to 16 hours on waves 13, 16, 19, 25, 31, 41, 49 meters and from 21 to 22 hours on waves 31, 41 and 49 meters. In the United States of America, Canada and Latin American countries, New York time from 18 hours 30 minutes to 19 hours 30 minutes on waves 16, 25, 31, 41, 49 meters and from 21 hours to 22 hours on waves 16, 31, 41, and 49 meters." That is, the Mayak broadcast seemed to be conducted specifically as a foreign broadcast? Although, again, this could be a broadcast for sailors. - Quote from https://archive.org/details/radio-rodina/Radio+Rodina.m4a: "Radio Mayak (lighthouse) could also be heard on various frequencies during the early 1970's." It looks like the author is mistaken, because... There is a recording of SW broadcast in 1989. - There is also a mention of a later reception: http://www.schoechi.de/ex-rus03.html#R%20Mayak December 1994 - 21590 kHz, June 2000 - 11985 kHz (Mikhail Timofeev) December 2000 - 15490 kHz (relay via Novosibirsk) (something tells me that the last two reports were sent earlier than 2000, rather they were received in 2000) - "That" Mayak has a very pleasant broadcast, perfect pronunciation and diction, soft sound of AM broadcasting. I would listen to this for a long time, for sure! Now the air is colder, somewhat in a hurry. I can't listen to morning chatter (I tried a little). And when the burring announcers get to the microphone, I feel sad for our radio. - Links to youtube recordings on HF: 1973 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZoIshCZsiN0 1979 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=anmfrW4v8wA 1982, March 9, 15165 kHz - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhIBxQAliTQ (from 08:50 mark) 1989 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tN6qBzH9jfE ======================= FROM KAMCHATKA TO THE BALTIKA ======================= On holding competitions for the right to carry out terrestrial broadcasting using specific radio frequencies dated March 27, 2024. -------------------------------------------------- ------- The right to carry out terrestrial broadcasting using radio frequencies - when carrying out terrestrial analogue radio broadcasting Competition subject 1: Khabarovskiy kray, Komsomolsk-on-Amur (98.7 MHz, 1 kW); Competition subject 2: Khabarovskiy kray, Komsomolsk-on-Amur (99.9 MHz, 1 kW); Competition subject 3: Chukotka Autonomous Okrug, Anadyr (100.0 MHz, 0.1 kW); Competition subject 4: Chukotka Autonomous Okrug, Anadyr (103.7 MHz, 0.1 kW); Competition subject 5: Republic of Ingushetia, Magas city, Nazran city, North Ossetia - Alania Republic, Vladikavkaz city (92.2 MHz, 1 kW, transmitter installation point - Nazran); Competition subject 6: Ingushetia Republic, Magas city, Nazran city, North Ossetia - Alania Republic, Vladikavkaz city (96.5 MHz, 1 kW, transmitter installation point - Nazran); (https://vk.com/vcfm2014) Volgogradskaya oblast. ---------------------------------- Radio stations RDS Info Volgograd 91.8 PS; PRO KBH RT: V.

All India Radio (AIR), a public broadcaster in India, provides terrestrial radio service across all broadcast bands - CB, HF and FM. Licenses for commercial FM broadcasting are issued to private radio stations, and public radio stations are also allowed non-commercial use. Currently, most terrestrial radio broadcasting in India is carried out in analogue mode, with the exception of some AIR radio stations in the MF and HF bands, which operate in the digital DRM standard.

The law stipulates that until December 31, 2024, the Councils of Public Electronic Media (SEPLP) will take the necessary measures to reorganize Latvian Radio and LTV through a merger, creating the state SIA "Latvijas Sabiedriskais medijs" from January 1, 2025. The entry in the Commercial Register will be made on the next working day - January 2, 2025. Latvian Radio and LTV will be excluded from the Commercial Register. Details in Russian - https://onair.ru/main/enews/view_msg/NMID__88116/ (OnAir.ru) Poland. ---------- A court in Warsaw rejected the petition to liquidate Polish Radio. The Warsaw court refused to enter the decision to liquidate Polish Radio into the National Court Register. The resolution states that Culture Minister Bartholomew Sienkiewicz could not liquidate the media because "the creation of this company was prescribed by law, and its charter was agreed upon by the constitutional body, the National Broadcasting Council." This was reported by the Onet.pl portal. Justifying its decision, the court points out that the legislator did not foresee "the actual situation that we are now faced with, that is, the demand for the liquidation of state media." He draws attention to the danger that "with a change of power in Poland, the issue of liquidating public media will be considered." In the ruling, the court emphasized the distinctive character of the central Polish radio from those that form regional radio stations, noting that only the first name was expressly indicated in the Broadcasting Law. Thus, if Polish Radio were liquidated, the provisions of the law referring to it "would be dead".
