Editor's notes. (Ruslan Slavutskiy, Moskovskaya oblast, Russia) You can view it here - https://rusdx.blogspot.com/2024/02/blog-post_19.html Nostalgia. Late 60s and early 70s of the last centuries. -------------------------------------------------------------- In the late 60s, I first heard a broadcast of a DX program in Russian for radio listeners called "Sweden Calling DXers", which was created on Radio Sweden by journalist Arne Skoog. He was born in 1913 in the northern Swedish province of Jämtland; died June 7, 1999, aged 86. From the name of the program, in the USSR all listeners of broadcast stations began to be called DX listeners. I took it in the morning, but there was also an evening program. The amateur radio program was of great benefit to me and many listeners of broadcast stations at the time. In addition, a printed newsletter containing the contents of these programs was published every two weeks. Thanks to "Sweden Calling DXers", a movement of listeners to radio broadcasting stations was born in the then USSR. The broadcasts contained not only useful information for radio listeners, but also addresses for correspondence - this is how contacts were born between DX listeners in our country and radio listeners in other countries. But we should not forget that the Swedish journalist Arne Skoog was at the beginning of this path. His photo from the publication in "La Galena del Sur" can be seen on my blog here - https://rusdx.blogspot.com/2024/02/sweden-calling-dxers-arne- skoog.html. The bright memory of this man will remain in our hearts. Nowadays, on the Internet, I accidentally found a printed issue of "Sweden Calling DXers" # 1156 / 4 January 1972 with my old postal address on Lyublinskaya Street in Moscow in the "Contacts wanted" section. I received many letters from all over the country after the address was announced on air. Although I was not the first to offer my address for correspondence from the USSR, there was great interest in correspondence. Now reading the Swedish bulletins for 1970 - 1979, you can feel the atmosphere of that time. Printing the bulletin on a typewriter (and duplicating it on the copiers of the day) alone is worth it to see the history of broadcasting. Interesting section "Sweden Calling DXers in the 1970's" [http://www.dxguides.info/p/dx-memories.html]. At that time, Sweden was a neutral country, so the signals of Radio Sweden were not jammed on the air, and I received them with excellent quality in Moscow on a tube receiver. At first I wrote down the programs in a notebook, but I couldn't keep up with a lot of things, and only later I managed to learn how to write everything down completely, using my own abbreviations to speed up writing. I took shorthand classes to learn how to write quickly what I heard on air. This is where I took the basis for my broadcast recordings. But the time came when a tape recorder appeared in the house and it completely facilitated all my tasks in listening to the air and recording programs. Unfortunately, contact with Swedish Radio, as with all radio stations from capitalist countries, as they said then about Western countries, was practically impossible. Almost no mail arrived and only a few letters arrived with the "Sweden Calling DXers" newsletter, but it was a holiday for me. I was extremely surprised when, in the fall of 1972, they brought me a parcel from the post office, sent by a representative of Radio Sweden in Moscow with a reference book that I had dreamed about a lot - "World Radio TV Handbook". Unfortunately, the reference book has not survived. Before leaving for service in the Soviet army, one of the Moscow DX listeners asked me to lend him a book for a while. After returning home, two years later, I asked to return the directory back, but I heard a verdict for myself - the Directory was sold for a lot of money. At that time, such books were of particular value, since it was impossible to find in stores. So I lost confidence in this radio listener and peacefully broke off all contacts with him. Of course, there were also negative aspects of the hobby in the early 70s, but I don't even want to write about the bad things today, since everything was overcome and life continued with the receiver. And in conclusion, a few pictures on the topic of the article: https://rusdx.blogspot.com/2024/02/sweden-calling-dxers.html - In the next issue we will continue the story about the "Sweden Calling DXers" program, authored by Vladimir from Rybinsk (Yaroslavskaya oblast, Russia). ============================= FROM KAMCHATKA TO THE BALTIKA ============================== On holding competitions for the right to carry out terrestrial broadcasting using specific radio frequencies dated April 24, 2024. -------------------------------------------------- ------ Conditions of the competition: broadcasting time - "daily, around the clock"; The broadcasting concept is "free".

We recommend watching an interesting video about the history of Donetsk television. The plot is replete with archival footage, historical photographs and memories of those who stood at the origins of television in the city of Stalino (Donetsk). In the USSR, in 1947, they mastered the production of Moskvich-T1 and Leningrad-T1 televisions, and two years later the KVN-49 appeared, which became the most popular in the 1950s. This TV cost about 500 rubles. In parallel with the development of television throughout the Union, the issue of broadcasting in our city is being resolved. So, on September 29, 1954, a decree was issued on the construction of a television center in Stalino. (https://vk.com/retrotvussr) * Book on the Internet. I.P. Zhebebtsov. 1955.

Why? Partly due to the advent of electric vehicles. As the WSJ explains, citing the Alliance for Automotive Innovation, an auto industry trade group, EVs' on-board electronics "interfere with AM radio signals, a phenomenon that 'renders already noisy analog AM radio frequencies virtually inaudible.'" EV makers can use shielded cables and other components to provide AM radio reception, but the Alliance says that would cost $3.8 billion over seven years-which is why some companies are simply ditching AM radio. Unfortunately, it is true that AM radio's economic and cultural heyday is long behind us.
