Group "deneb-radio-dx". Topic: My first radio - It's a really great idea to tell us about your first radio! I had it: "Alpinist-407". Exactly 44 years ago, in February 1977, our father was at work On our anniversary, the team presented a copy of this device. It seems to be quite modest: only long ones and medium waves. But it was from them that, taking it in his hands, he began to slowly discover a whole world for himself, until unknown to me for now. The entire first spring and summer after this became a time of careful research long and medium wave ranges. It became especially interesting every evening when the SV came to life and - immediately appeared: then a dense "veil" of Japanese and Chinese stations throughout the entire range! And during the day, all powerful transmitters were received in the Far East (only in Razdolny on 243 before closing at 1200 kilowatt!) of the Far East, right up to Magadan and Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky. In the NE during the day "Mayak" (synchronous network 549) went well and with thunderous signals, then also: the 2nd program of the All- Union Radio on 1377, the 1st program with Primorsky Radio together on 810, the International Service of Moscow Radio on 648 (also a megawatt!) around the clock in Chinese. And the thunderous air navigation beacon in neighboring Chernyshevka (13 km in a straight line from us) BL at 605, plus the same one in the village of Muraveyka (BG) at 920, was noticeably less audible. My first acquaintance with international broadcasting in Russian began with the reception of a Radio program Beijing (better known now as China Radio International). Of course: relations with China then were, to put it mildly: very bad! And, of course, the broadcasts from Beijing are appropriate. Solid: "Soviet revisionism" etc... A little later (in the summer of 1977) my parents bought a radio "Cantata-204" with bands short waves. That's when the passion for international broadcasting truly began to develop! The Voice of America*... By the way, it was not suppressed then - it was accepted freely. Japan, Christian Broadcasters from the Philippines and San Francisco!.. Saipan and Alaska did not yet exist, but there were amazing traffic from Tinian musical programms! It is interesting that many years later the same KGEI "Voice of Friendship" from Redwood City (near San Francisco), no matter how hard I tried, could no longer accept it. And, meanwhile: in the 70s the program (and the station actually worked exclusively for the European part of the USSR) the broadcast was in the evening time (or - at night for us) and the reception was wonderful. In the late 80s - early 90s they broadcast in the morning on Moscow at 11680. It became impossible to receive at home. But in 1991, having arrived on a business trip to Moscow and As soon as he got off the ladder, back in Domodedovo he took the Neiva-405 out of his pocket and immediately took this into the telescope the very "Voice of Friendship"! at 11680. (Igor, Primorye) - I write here very rarely, since the areas of my residence are literally "saturated" with everyday noise of various origins, so I cannot please myself with the catch on the air, and accordingly, share it. But I carefully read everything that my colleagues write and follow the feed, and I am very happy about the successes, new DX and QSL cards, not without good envy, dear correspondents. My radio started with a LW-MW "soap box", so Radio Sweden was received on 1179 kHz, then "Alpinist", also DV-SV, local stations of the USSR were broadcast en masse, each region had its own local radio broadcasting, I remember Chelyabinsk on medium waves. And the crystal purity of the air (70s), such that in the apartment of a panel high-rise building you could hear someone dialing a phone somewhere in the house using a rotary dial, pulse dialing. Clicks from contacts!!! The only obstacle was the horizontal scanning of the televisions. Then came short waves, "VEF-202" and simple imported radio tape recorders with one or two SW bands. We listened to a musical broadcast from Poland, in Polish, on 31 meters (of course, I didn't know the frequency), they broadcast high-quality signal and interesting music. material that was unavailable to rock bands at that time. Also the BBC World Service*, also a lot of music, they broadcast on 9410 and 12095, and many more frequencies. Religious stations are in Russian, but I don't remember who it was. Then the medium/long ones gradually became clogged with interference, and the HF followed suit. Now I use Degen 1103 and the TEXUN line from 200 to 880. In the city I don't even get it, outside the city I turn it on, but even there the neighbors' switching power supplies emit hundreds of meters around. I think my experience is similar to that of other broadcasters. (Yuri, Moscow) - P.S. * = media foreign agent in today's time.

Every year, a week of charity events is held around the world to help children's organizations, and their culmination is March 9 - World DJ Day. The event was originally initiated by the World DJ Fund and the Nordoff Robbins Music Therapy organization, which uses music to treat children and adults.

The Shukhov Tower was used as an antenna support. On the first day of broadcasting, the Moscow Television Center broadcast a documentary film about the opening of the 18th Congress of the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks. On that day, the program was received by about a hundred TK-1 TVs (its photo is in this post). Subsequently, the programs were broadcast 4 times a week for 2 hours. The Moscow television center on Shabolovka became the basis for the creation of the Central Television Studio of the USSR, which covered the entire country with its programs.

The shutdown of the station was associated with the decision of the management of the Broadcasting Corporation not only to improve the technical equipment of the station, but also to radically revise the existing format. Starting from September 1, 2003, "Radio ON LINE" broadcast in a rather new talk-radio format for Russia. However, according to data from the research companies "COMCON MEDIA" and "GALLUP MEDIA", during the period of broadcasting in the talk format, the station was unable to achieve the expected rating. On June 1, 2004, "Radio Disco" was launched on 88.7 MHz in Moscow, which aired musical hits of the 80s and 90s. The broadcast of the latter was stopped on September 1, 2005, it was on this day that the "Humor FM" radio channel went on air.

The first thing that came to mind was how to become a radio amateur. But this is a very broad concept. You can listen to the radio, solder and assemble circuits, repair radio equipment, and at the same time consider yourself a radio amateur. But such a radio amateur does not have the right to go on the air, with the exception of specialized frequencies. Some people are not very interested in radio communications, while others just listen to the broadcast. I personally know, and helped with advice, with obtaining an amateur radio call sign and registering a radio station, some people who... are embarrassed to go on the air, to work on a general call. There are many excuses, sometimes there is no antenna, sometimes you can hear it, sometimes you can't hear it, sometimes for some other reason. There is a transceiver, there are documents - work! It's especially sad when there are competitions, you need to score points, but the radio amateur is silent. Does not participate. But first, some background.

In 2022, Telebalt announced the closure of production in the Kaliningrad region. According to one of Kommersant's interlocutors, the decision to close production in the Kaliningrad region was made due to rising costs and problems with logistics. The owner of Telebalt T LLC, Yulia Chinaeva, confirmed to Kommersant that the company is not currently producing products. Ms. Chinaeva declined to comment further. According to experts, not only Telebalt, but also other Kaliningrad electronics assemblers can move their production "to the mainland".
