Machine translation: http://translate.google.ru & https://translate.yandex.ru/ & https://www.bing.com/translator ----------------------------------------------------------------- ============== EDITOR'S NEWS. ============== Let's remember 1990. ----------------------------- 1st International gathering of fans of long-distance reception of radio broadcasting stations. The rally was held in the city of Leningrad from December 6 (Thursday) to December 9 (Sunday), 1990. I realized in my heart that I had to be at the rally, since my life since childhood consisted of events that related to radio. I took days off from work; My family allocated a certain amount for travel expenses, which amounted to a decent amount of my salary at that time. But not everyone was able to do this in those years, and of course their trip was doomed to failure from the very beginning. But such is life, as it is sung in the song of the Leningrad singer Edita Piekha, "Someone loses, but someone finds." I decided to lose money but find something new during the events of that time in a country where everything was changing. The organizers of the meeting are the Leningrad circle of DX-sists (since 1992, the new name is the St. Petersburg DX Club) represented by Willy Vaarapaev, Alexey Osipov and Mikhail Timofeev. Unfortunately, they are no longer with us... Sponsors also participated - the joint Soviet-Finnish enterprise "Sortavaltur", the production cooperative "Real" and the amateur radiocentre "Interradio Leningrad". The program of the meeting included: speeches by participants; conversations on interests; demonstration of foreign receiving equipment; The cultural program; friendly dinner. All visitors were provided with a hotel (5-6 rubles per day - multi-bed room), meals in a restaurant (10 rubles per day if desired). In addition, there was an accretion fee of 25 rubles, which was paid in advance by money transfer. All participants lived in the Sovetskaya Hotel and could choose a single or multi-bed room. I chose single room 19, in building 2, on the fourth floor and paid 22 rubles for three days. If we add here the price of tickets for transport to Leningrad from different points of the USSR, then of course not everyone could afford to attend the rally if they were not a resident of Leningrad. But, since this was the first time, I decided to take this short trip from Moscow to Leningrad, despite the loss of most of my salary for the month. In addition to the rally, there was a visit to the Radio House and the Radio Center on Academician Pavlova Street. There was also a city tour by bus to see the beauty of the city on the Neva. I liked the visit to the Radio Center - our group was allowed into the hall where the transmitters were working, which of course was unusual. Still, this is not an object for excursions, but thanks to friendly relations, apparently, they showed how the transmitters work and talked about the radio center. I had already encountered radio transmitters and the structure of their maintenance when I served in the army, but everything was very interesting, and we were given a tour with a guide who serviced the equipment. He answered in detail all questions about the operation of the transmitters and about the radio center itself. Perestroika in the USSR was ending and many topics were open for discussion. Unfortunately, I didn't have a camera at that time, so a lot of things remained only in my memory. There were interesting presentations in the large hall on the topics of radio communications and radio hobbies, where there were also guests from Finland. Conversations about radio continued in the evenings in hotel rooms, which united all the participants of the meeting into groups. At the rally I met many radio amateurs who later connected their lives with radio. I don't give names because I don't know their opinion on this publication. Life in 1990 and 2024 will be different - these are different times and I cannot write much with the consent of the people of that time. They may simply be offended, which has already happened in my practice and the offense persisted for many years. I met Pavel Mikhailov, the author of the "DX Club" program on the "Voice of Russia" radio station, with the founder of today's radio station - Radio Center and the future editors of many newsletters who contributed to the development of radio reception. There was not enough space in my room and I even had to drag the chair and chairs to another room, which was larger in size. I barely persuaded the floor manager to make such changes and promised that the chairs and armchair would all be in their places when we left. It's good that you meet good, understanding people in life. I remember conversations with Finnish long-range receivers. There was interest in a general topic - radio reception of broadcast stations. I thought that at the rally a program for the development of our common hobby would be announced and a federation or union of long-range reception lovers of the USSR would be founded, similar to amateur radio, but this did not happen. Perhaps I was expecting something impossible, but it all came down to getting to know each other at the gathering, exchanging opinions about radio broadcasting, and of course many had plans for the future. Of course, later the meeting played a role in the development of radio reception of broadcasting stations, the emergence of bulletins and small DX clubs, but without the federation, everything eventually ceased to exist. Amateurs formed their own DX clubs and published their own DX newsletters, which received a lot of attention in the pre-Internet era. This was a time when there was increased interest in radio broadcasting. The rate for letters to foreign countries was so small that all the mail at the radio station poured in, but all this was a short-term phenomenon, since soon the cost increased significantly and they began to write less. From July 1986 to October 1994, the "Exotic DX News" newsletter was published under the auspices of the St. Petersburg DX Club. It was an authoritative publication, from which many learned about the upcoming gathering of long-range reception lovers. Pavel Mikhailov also reported on the meeting in the "DX Club" program on the "Voice of Russia". This was a time when there were also small publications, including those written by hand or on a typewriter, and more diverse ones, including printing in a printing house. After the Leningrad rally at the beginning of 1991, the publication of a printed bulletin on radio broadcasting began in Moscow. Its editors were the participants of the meeting. At first it was the "Moscow Presents" newsletter, typed on a computer and printed out. Then, in mid-1991, as often happens, the editorial staff divided their views on editorial policy and a new newsletter appeared - "MIDXB - Moscow Information DX Bulletin", which began to be printed in the printing house. In 1991, my newsletter appeared - an English-language publication about radio broadcasting in the USSR called "Soviet Radio Today", which after changing several names ("DX Moscow", "DX Moscow Newsletter", "ASK-DX") became today's "RUS- DX". The topic of the newsletter - radio broadcasting in Russia - was of great interest to everyone in the world after perestroika in the country. And at the beginning of 1994, a publication was published in Russian. But that is another story. - I would be grateful to the readers of the publication to tell us about your newsletters that were published throughout our country or that you read. It's interesting to preserve the memory of long-gone days that will never be returned to. No one will bring your story to you, no one will show it true! Each person must look for it himself, collect it, and then take measures to preserve it. Our memory should not be a desert! ============================ FROM KAMCHATKA TO THE BALTIKA ============================= Message Federal Service for Supervision of Communications, Information Technologies and Mass Communications ----------------------------------------------- On January 31, 2024, a meeting of the Federal Competition Commission for Television and Radio Broadcasting was held.

The concept of "weather in space" was first introduced by a remarkable Soviet scientist, participant in the famous Papanin epic, Hero of the Soviet Union, academician Evgeniy Konstantinovich Fedorov (1910-1981). Why "weather"? One of the reasons is purely external. The near-Earth space has its own storms and storms (magnetic and ionospheric), has its own clouds (silent or mesospheric), does it have its own wind? solar? and even your own rain (this is the name for one of the phenomena in the polar ionosphere). All the attributes of the weather are present. Along with these purely superficial parallels, there are deeper reasons to talk about weather in space. The fact is that the strong variability of the situation in near-Earth space is akin to weather "whims". Weather in space, as well as weather in the usual sense of the word, is characterized by an alternation of calm periods (for example, the minimum solar activity cycle), which can be compared with stable weather in a good summer, and periods of sharp changes in the situation (for example, during high solar activity), which evoke an analogy with unstable autumn weather.

The radio receiver was released in a small batch in December 1945, and from January 1946 it was already put into large-scale production. The radio receiver ''VEF Super M-557'' or "VEF M-517" was created on the basis of the pre- war radio receiver ''VEF M-517'' with minor changes in its design and electrical circuit and practically repeats it. Radio receivers of the first two years of production had European band boundaries.

Restoration. -------------------------------------------------- -------------- This radio came into my collection 5-6 years ago. In 2011, an album was added to the photo gallery: http://oldradio.su/main.php?g2_itemId=23178 containing photographs of this receiver. The receiver does not show any signs of life, and its external condition can be assessed from the photo. Realizing that the restoration process would be long, I somehow did not dare to take on it... Well, he can't gather dust forever. So let's begin.

P.S. Practice shows that sometimes people still return to the hobby :) "Colleagues, Unfortunately, I no longer have any desire to do the blog and the radio. That's why a person whose name I won't mention is to blame, and it doesn't matter. The 10 years I have devoted to the blog and 45 years to the radio are enough. There are other pleasant things in my life instead of someone constantly annoying me. Today marks 12 years since the actual closure of Radio Bulgaria. And 1 year without my presence in this group!
