Machine translation: http://translate.google.ru & https://translate.yandex.ru/ & https://www.bing.com/translator ----------------------------------------------------------------- ============== EDITOR'S NEWS. ============== A newsletter reader suggested I fast forward to 2021. Group "deneb-radio-dx". Topic: My first radio - My first radio receiver "VEF-232". I used it in the late 80's - early 90's. Then there were ISHIM-003-2, two R-250M2. And only in the 00s I purchased "Degen 1103". But I started listening to radio stations in Russian on the Ilga-301 radio in the mid-80s. Now the collection contains 22 Chinese radios, of which 5 are "Degen" and 10 are "Texan". (Dmitry, Ryazan) - I started doing receptions during my school years: my grandmother had an ancient Record-314 in the village. Granny was a devout Baptist and loved to receive broadcasts from Saipan, Ecuador and Germany. And she asked me to make her a better antenna. I was interested in receiving programs from different countries. In 1992, I began to constantly listen to Radio Korea from Seoul. And after that I fell in love with radio. I haven't become a professional, but I can consider myself an amateur. Then I bought a "R-253" (used) and in the village I stretched the antenna to 40 meters. Now I look at generation Z and understand that the window to the world for them is the Internet, but for me the window to the world was the radio and my favorite TV show "Travelers Club" with Yu.A. Senkevich. (Roman, Orel) - I very rarely write messages here, although I read the feed regularly-) My dad's first receiver was "Ocean 201", then "Leningrad 010 stereo". My grandparents had a lamp "Torch". I became interested in DXing in 1987, on the eve of the army. In 1992, my father brought "ISHIM 003" from work, I still use it, replaced all the capacitors and the scale, installed it on a USB board, everything is fine -) It's a pity, of course, not all ranges are there, but it's enough for me. And cameramen, forgive my Russian, I've been living in Poland for a long time. The first QSL is from RCI in 1987... (Radu) - In 1990-1992, an Oreanda-201 radio tape recorder appeared in the apartment. In 1997, my uncle inserted a power cord into the Ural-auto car radio for his mother and my grandmother, and it became a country radio. (makuk) - I'll try to tell you about the first radio receiver and the path to meaningful radio reception. Today I caught a glimpse of a photo of the R-250 and memories came flooding back. I was about 7 years old. We almost always had the radio on in our parents' room. And other relatives too. Despite the fact that in most houses the radio points were 3-program. Broadcasting was only on the first channel. I didn't think much about the content of the programs back then. The only practical use is as an alarm clock in the form of the Anthem in the morning. But everything changed in one day. I, going to my father's garage on a day off, went as usual to my grandfather's neighbor, and saw that he was listening to Deutsche Welle* on the P-250. To say that I was amazed is putting it mildly. And it's still not clear. Tolley that there are radios on which you can listen to something that interests you. Tolley from the very type of radio. Or from the content of a music program. The neighbor spent quite a long time explaining how it works. And we listened to different stations. It was a whole unknown World, speaking different languages. And also miraculous telegraph transmissions. At that moment, the world changed irrevocably for me. The next day I went up to the radio point and deliberately pressed program button 2. Of course, to no avail, but this was my very first step towards meaningful listening. Quickly realizing my mistake. I carefully examined the apartment in search of a means of satisfying my interest. My gaze fell on a wooden box with a metal front with a beautiful inscription "Ocean 209". And when my eye caught the inscription setting. I realized that it was a radio. Then there were many radios. Domestic and military, but I can never forget this moment of the beginning of my journey. (Anatoly) P.S. * = included by the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation in the list of foreign agents. - To be continued in the next issue. ============================= FROM KAMCHATKA TO THE BALTIKA ============================== Radio Monte Carlo expands its broadcasting network. ------------------------------------------ The beginning of spring was marked for Radio Monte Carlo by a significant increase in the federal network.

NEWS. =================== * Date: March 3. --------------------- International Children's Day of Broadcasting - one of the brightest and kindest holidays - is celebrated on the first Sunday in March. It was introduced by UNICEF in 1991 and calls not to forget about the smallest and most caring television viewers. (https://www.calend.ru/holidays/0/0/118/) A collage from the Tele-SAtINFO - Telegram page can be viewed here: https://rusdx.blogspot.com/2024/03/blog-post.html * Date: March 4th. -------------------- March 4th is International Toy Soldier Day. Small images of real warriors were once not just figures for entertainment, but an important part of education. Peter I had a collection of miniature artillery with tin gunners. His grandson Peter III allocated a separate room for the soldiers, where he played out entire battles. In the collage, the tin soldiers are radio operators. (Ruslan Slavutskiy, Moskovskaya oblast, Russia). Picture: https://rusdx.blogspot.com/2024/03/blog-post_4.html * Date: March 8th. -------------------- Happy March 8th! The collage contains an illustration from the book "Discovery" (stories) by Mikhail Zhestev (Mark Ilyich Levinson). Illustrations - N. Kostrov. 1952 (Ruslan Slavutskiy, Moskovskaya oblast, Russia). Picture: https://rusdx.blogspot.com/2024/03/8.html - Quote from the book: ... And now he recognized that voice. And how could he not know when he heard it every day. It was Nastenka who called him: - Can you hear me, Ilyusha? Ilyusha laughed loudly. Well, of course, he hears the Slavyanka radio station calling him. Nastenka came up with a great idea: she connected a powerful "bell" loudspeaker on the management roof and spoke with all her might. And the radio continued very close, above Ilyusha's head: - Can you hear me, Ilyusha? I switch to Moscow. Head to Moscow! And Ilyusha was already climbing the coastal slope to the village and cheerfully shouted in response: - I'm betting on Moscow! * Date: March 10th. -------------------- Cloud Elephant Day is a holiday of spring mood and genuine happiness. Have you ever noticed the bizarre shape of the clouds floating above our heads? With proper observation and imagination, you can see white-maned horses, funny puppies, and funny bear cubs here. Every year on March 10, Cloud Elephant Day is celebrated - an unusual holiday for those who love to enjoy life and appreciate every moment. On this day you should definitely go for a walk - the fresh spring air will do you good; admire the clouds, of course, if the weather permits; Looking at the sky with your child is an interesting and exciting activity for children. And let this day be remembered for something good! In the collage is one of the antenna supports of the radio station "HBG". HBG was a low frequency time signal transmitter from Switzerland.

Due to the high cost of repairing legacy antennas and the ease with which all existing users could switch to the DCF77 time signal, the Swiss federal government decided to switch off HBG at the end of 2011.

Market participants explain the trend by the lack of new formats, the transition of consumption to the Internet, as well as a decrease in the purchasing power of the population - Russians are postponing the purchase of cars, and radio consumption through a car receiver has always been the leader. Media holdings expect to improve the situation by attracting a younger audience who are starting to listen to radio through smart speakers: consumption of this format has grown by 10- 15% over the year. "Kommersant" got acquainted with the data from Mediascope (Russia 100+) on the indicators of daily listening (TSL Dly - Time Spent Listening Daily, minutes) and daily coverage (Reach Dly, %) of the radio. It follows from them that the Reach Dly indicator decreased by 0.7%, to 53.5%, TSL Dly - by 15 minutes, to 229 minutes. The rate of daily listening fell the most in January - June 2023, the Russian Academy of Radio (RAR) noted in an industry report in January: the decrease in TSL Dly for the period compared to January - June 2022 was 32 minutes. The main contribution to the decrease in average daily coverage comes from the target groups 30-39 and 40-49 years old, the RAR clarified.

BT Group is actively cutting costs and reducing its real estate portfolio; in particular, the operator has reduced the number of offices by 10 times, from 300 to 30. The buyer was the American hotel chain MCR Hotels, which offered 275 million pounds sterling ($348.6 million) for the building.
