Machine translation: http://translate.google.ru & https://translate.yandex.ru/ & https://www.bing.com/translator ----------------------------------------------------------------- ============== EDITOR'S NEWS. ============== Nostalgia. The distant 60s of the last centuries. -------------------------------------------------- ----------- These were the years of school. Due to the fact that I was born in winter, I was one step behind everywhere - I went to school not at the age of seven, as expected, but at the age of eight. Only later did I realize that this was the best option, since compared to my classmates I had more life experience and looked at life differently. And according to the law of the country, he went to serve in the Army at a more mature age and even got married later than all his friends. In general, everywhere I was somehow different from the rest of my peers. The end of the 60s of the last centuries. I studied in the 6th and 7th grades at school during the second shift for two years. This sounds somehow strange, but there were many children in each family, but few schools. Only in the 8th grade did I go to a new school where there were no evening classes. But the main thing is that, remaining alone at home in the first half of the day, I began to occupy my free time, free from studying lessons and writing homework, by listening to the radio. There were many programs for schoolchildren. There were interesting radio shows and programs on the radio. I remember the program "Famous Captains Club" and "Geography Quiz". But one day I pressed a key on the Short-Wave radio and plunged into the noise of the ether, which fascinated me. Music, voices in many languages that I did not understand, the noise of the airwaves, the chirping of birds in the call signs of stations - all this aroused in me great interest in what was happening in the world outside the window of my house. Somehow unconsciously I decided to collect information about radio stations that broadcast in Russian. I started a notebook where I entered new countries from which I received broadcasts. Since I lacked any information about radio broadcasting, I looked with interest for new stations on the air. While studying radio reception, I studied geography and the countries of the world and could show any country on a globe, for which I received only an excellent grade in geography at school. He also began to become interested in radio engineering and literature related to radio. When I was in 6th grade, I assembled a detector receiver for the first time. A detector receiver is the simplest type of receiver that does not use amplification elements and does not require power, because it uses radio wave energy. The detector receiver consists of an oscillating circuit (coil and variable capacitor), to which an antenna and ground are connected, a diode and an earphone. The first basics with a soldering iron and assembly were interesting for me. In addition, I found all the parts at the nearest dump of radio devices and radio components, which in the 60s of the last centuries were a common occurrence in Moscow. The junkyard had a lot of non-functional radio equipment that was being used for parts. In general, since childhood, probably many people could repair a tube TV, since the instructions for any TV described possible malfunctions and how to fix any malfunction yourself at the beginning of the repair. But basically, it all came down to replacing the radio tubes, since everything else was done well and worked for many years before the device was replaced. I didn't yet know that there was a "Directory of World Radio and Television" in the world, where all the information that I had entered into my notebook was already collected. I lived in a parallel world and figured out everything myself, including tables with station schedules that I compiled for myself. I didn't know there was anyone else like me who sat behind a radio and monitored the signals of broadcast stations on the air. I learned all this later. In the meantime, I listened to shortwave broadcasts with programs in Russian. Radio station "Atlantika", "Broadcast for sailors and fishermen", radio station "Rodina", "Broadcast for specialists working in Asian and African countries", "TAS information for urban and rural newspapers". There were also radio stations broadcasting in Russian from other countries of the world. Oddly enough, at that time Moscow Radio itself did not have programs in Russian, since there was a "Fifth Program" - informational and socio-political. Mainly intended for Soviet radio listeners located outside the USSR, as well as for radio listeners - foreign citizens who know the Russian language. The program also included special programs for sailors, fishermen at sea, and for Soviet specialists working abroad. In addition to these special broadcasts, the program included news releases prepared both for this program and for the Mayak program. She worked around the clock. In the late 60s I wrote my first letter to a radio station. I remember my excitement when I heard my letter being read on air at French International Radio. Start of programs on air: "Isi Paris. Paris speaks! ", which I remember. I did not receive an answer from France, since this was a period when relations between the USSR and Western countries were chilled and correspondence with radio stations was not encouraged, and letters "disappeared" on the way, but despite this I still hoped for something that I will see letters from radio stations in my mailbox. I still don't understand how my letter reached Paris from Moscow during that difficult period. This was the case when reading a letter on air gave me a new impetus for my hobby of listening to radio stations on air. And the first letter I received from the radio station was from Radio Berlin International from the GDR. The letter was registered and they could not give it to me at the post office, since I did not have a passport due to my age. I had to wait all week for the post office to issue a letter to my father. The large envelope contained a pennant, various printed materials, and blank QSL cards that I didn't yet know about. I wrote for the program "Voices of Friends," which was broadcast on the waves of All-Union Radio. If I had studied normally, like everyone else in the morning, I probably wouldn't have listened to the radio, and my path in life would have been completely different and there wouldn't have been this newsletter. The fate of each person has its own twists and turns, which further influence his future life in our world. One day, while listening to the morning broadcast, I heard a DX program in Russian for radio listeners called "Sweden Calling DXers", which was created on Radio Sweden by a person passionate about radio - Arne Skoog. The program was broadcast in many broadcast languages of the station, including Russian. And what's strange is that there was no "Sweden Calling DXers" program in Swedish, although the DX hobby is very popular in Scandinavian countries. But that is another story. I wonder if anyone reads these nostalgic stories or should I complete publications on the topic of the past? ======================= FROM KAMCHATKA TO THE BALTIKA ======================= Bryanskaya oblast. ------------------------- From February 12, any of the half a million residents of Bryansk and its environs can tune in to the frequency 99.5 FM and become a listener to Radio Iskatel!

After all, the largest country by area is located primarily in high latitudes, where permafrost, mountains, rivers, oceans, taiga and tundra create obstacles for both transport and communication services. Therefore, it is easier and cheaper to reach many distant objects not through cable or cellular networks, but through satellite.

The year 1957 turned out to be unusually rich in all kinds of events that left an indelible mark on the memory of Soviet people. The most significant of them, without a doubt, were the VI World Festival of Youth and Students and the launch of the first artificial Earth satellite. And this year there was a program that caused a lot of noise, aired only three times, but which was destined to become the prototype of another, no less interesting and popular television project that has existed on our screens for more than half a century. We are talking about the program "Evening of Fun Questions" (or abbreviated as VVV), which was organized by journalist S. Muratov, taking the Czech "Guess, Guess, Fortune Teller" as a model. The appearance of the program became a kind of challenge to the ideology of using television (as a means of entertainment) existing at that time, primarily for showing films, plays, etc. A team of young authors wanted to create something that would not resemble either a traditional quiz show, or an ordinary pop concert or television magazine. This should be something that unites the program presenters and television viewers into a single whole.

STORY. ======================== * Since 1960, the Leningrad portable radio receiver has been experimentally produced, presumably by the Leningrad Mechanical Plant "Leninets". In 1960, 20 receivers were produced, and relatively serial production began in 1961. The portable experimental all-wave exhibition transistor radio receiver ''Leningrad'' has been exhibited in the ''Radioelectronics'' pavilion at VDNKh since 1959. It is assembled with 10 transistors, its output power is 0.5 W. The receiver has 7 bands: LW, MW and five SW sub-bands. It is powered by eight "Saturn" elements with a total voltage of 12 V. A special power stabilizer ensures normal operation of the radio receiver (its high electrical and acoustic parameters) when the batteries are discharged from 12 to 8 V. The batteries are enough for two months if you use the receiver no more than 4 hours a day. Reception can be carried out using a telescopic antenna in the HF range, a built-in ferrite antenna on long and medium waves, and an external antenna in all ranges.

The first domestic portable receiver of the highest class ''Leningrad-002'' provides high-quality listening to radio programs. It is possible to fix the tuning to three radio stations in the VHF range. There are HF and LF tone controls, a speech-solo switch, a dial indicator for signal and power levels, and two tuning scales.
