(https://vk.com/public158109176) - The Chernyakhov diocese of the Russian Orthodox Church received a presidential grant to implement a project to create a radio station in the east of the Kaliningrad region. Information about this is posted on the website fundculturalinitiatives.rf. According to published data, the grant amount is more than 5.5 million rubles. Another 4.3 million should be co-financing. Project implementation period: 07/01/2024 - 12/31/2025. Goal: to create a local non- profit educational radio station "Chernyakhovsk FM" broadcasting in the eastern part of the Kaliningrad region. "The essence of the project "Radio Chernyakhovsk FM - Rodnoe Radio" is the creation in the east of the Kaliningrad region of a radio station that will broadcast programs <...> dedicated to our small homeland, the city of Chernyakhovsk and its closest neighboring cities. <...> Enlightenment is impossible without culture, and the culture of Russia is inextricably linked with the history of Orthodoxy," says the rationale for the project. newkaliningrad.ru (OnAir.ru) Kamchatkiy kray. ------------------------ License.

Now a new imported transmitter is being assembled, which will work instead of this. Soviet tube giant with the proud name "Borey" - planned to be preserved for reserve P.S. The transmitter operates in the background at a frequency of 1395 kHz. The subscriber remembered that the Radio Center in Noratus operated in the long wavelength range. Indeed, one of the Boreevs operated at a frequency of 234 kHz. There was even a short commission from the Voice of Russia in the 2000s. In front of you is a stand of pathogens The one on the far left is fixed. At long wave frequency. Such racks were intended for operation in synchronous broadcasting networks and were synchronized with a time and frequency standard. The exciters on the right are designed to operate at 1314 kHz As I already wrote, this transmitter (RV-602) is mothballed. Noratus. May 2024. Photo - And here is the antenna with which the RV-602 transmitter worked. Directional medium wave system Big Zarya. Azimuth 195 degrees towrads Middle East. Frequency - 1314 kHz. In general, such "Zori", and even in working condition, have become a rarity. There were such antennas in Russia, but due to the dismantling of the Powerful Radio Broadcasting complex, only memories remain of the antennas. In some regions of Russia they are still standing, awaiting a sad fate. A kind of record-breaking antenna was located on the territory of the antenna field of Radio Center #7 (Angarsk, Russia) - 37 towers. Regarding the Armenian antenna in the photo. Everything is fine - plug and play. (via Anatoly Klepov-RUS, RUSdx #1292 via wwdxc BC-DX TopNews June 2) Two MW directional antennas erected on Gavar Armenia bc center during USSR era: 1314/1377 kHz.

What is the translation of the term "Zarya" or "S. Zarya"used to describe the 2.2 km long Russian MF antenna? We have heard them referred to as "large sunrise" and "small sunrise" (the 2.2 km and 1.6 km versions, respectively), but have no idea of the origin or validity of this name for them. Does anyone have any technical literature describing these antennae? I have not had time when I have worked at former Russian sites where there were examples of these antennas to make measurements or even more than rough sketches of their electrical design. [later] There are 3 of these 'sunrise' antennas at the Orzu, Tajikistan site. 2 large ones and one smaller (15 masts if I remember correctly). One of the large ones is no longer useable due to some damage, but the other is intact although not presently in use, I understand. The small one was in use daily when I was at the site working. Many txs can also be switched to normal mast antennas for local sces. Some txs or freqs are not currently in use. Besides the Popovka zarya antenna I have also seen pictures of the Krasne and Chita zaryas. Both of the latter ones are of the 36 tower type. The towers carry a complicated structure of several // wires. Each wire seems to follow a zig-zag pattern upwards-downwards. The Chita picture is a broadside one taken from a considerable distance, so no details are visible. The Krasne picture is much like the Popovka picture featured in the WRTH.

Mass panic, chaos and a feeling of the end of the world. On October 30, 1938, many US residents decided that their country was attacked... by aliens from outer space.

The first, Herbert from Great Britain, is the author of the famous science fiction novels "War of the Worlds" and "The Invisible Man." The second, Orson from the USA, is a classic of world cinema, author of the film "Citizen Kane" (1941).

June 2024 ------------------------------------ At the beginning of June 2024, the collection of paper verification cards was replenished with responses from KBS WORLD Radio, Adventist World Radio and Radio Prague International. QSL cards. June 2024 - During a recent visit to Seoul, I was able to visit the KBS WORLD Radio office. The Russian service employees handed me the QSL cards that had accumulated over a long time. In particular, I added to the collection: a hand made postcard for a report dated December 17, 2023, a special card issued in honor of the 70th anniversary of KBS World Radio for listening on February 25, 2024, and a new QSL card for receiving a medium wave frequency dated May 20, 2024 1170 kHz in Seoul. Here is a link to the recording of the reception. By the way, according to the latest data, KBS WORLD Radio now sends mail to listeners no more than once a year. The new rules are related to the financial difficulties of the broadcaster. - Adventist World Radio, as part of its campaign to send QSL with a special stamp, sent a card from Indianapolis in response to the report and the paid return envelope. Received a broadcast in Mongolian on November 5, 2023 in the city of Ulan-Ude at a frequency of 15.500 kHz. - The Russian service of Radio Prague International sent the first of four QSL cards this year. In 2024, postcards from Prague are dedicated to Czech music. I listened to the Russian broadcast in Moscow on January 1, 2024 at a frequency of 12.095 kHz. The quality of the rebroadcast from the UAE was stable and good. [https://kolkeradio.blogspot.com/2024/06/qsl-2024.html] (IK) ============ WORLD NEWS ============ * USA. -------- USA. North Carolina - Newport. Broadcaster FBN - Fundamental Broadcasting Network and local Grace Baptist Church are broadcasting their FM flagship station WOTJ 24/7 at https://www.fbnradio.com (page https://radio.securenetsystems.net/v5/index.cfm?stationCallSign=WOTJ), stream https://ice8.securenetsystems.net/WOTJ Broadcasting is in English and some Spanish on Sundays. The daily broadcast schedule includes broadcasts of the international radio ministry Spoken Word of God, including from Monday to Friday two 5-minute segments in English at 6.30 (7.30) UTC and in Russian at 6.35 (7.35) UTC, according to summer time and in brackets - according to winter time in the USA. The actual start times of the segments vary slightly, with the length of the Russian-language segment ranging from 5 to 8 minutes. Its contents: 3-6 minutes of reading the Bible by the formerly famous Protestant radio preacher Jarl Nikolaevich Peysti (1920 - 2010) and 2 minutes of an instrumental melody of one of the Christian hymns. All station identification announcements are in English: - at the end of the English-language segment, the address of the radio ministry is announced (The Spoken Word of God Ministry, 5000 Eggleston avenue, Orlando, Florida 32804), followed by an announcement offering to listen to the Spoken Word of God for 5 minutes in Russian. The FBN website has a list of relay and FM/AM affiliates in different states with a total of 42 stations, 6 of which are AM broadcasting, that is, they can be listened to via SDR. So far we have been able to listen to only one branch station WWOS-810AM (frequency 810 kHz) in South Carolina, the city of St. George, and so far only during broadcast hours in English. From 1999 to 1 August 2012, the FBN broadcast network broadcast on shortwave, primarily on 9370 kHz, and used its own transmitter station, WTJC, in Morehead City, near Newport. Then the head station WOTJ-90.7FM was installed there, but the broadcast time of the Russian-language segment has remained unchanged all these years.

This is because the dimensions of the vibrators cannot be suitable for both, for example, a frequency of 6 MHz and 18 MHz. Therefore, antennas are designed based on the required frequency coverage. To configure each antenna, such pavilions are located on the antenna field. The carriage moves along the guides with the help of a drive. It moves along the tuning section of the feeder, and there is also a contactor on the "horns", which sets the length of the connected "inductance". Control of the carriage (and contactor) is remote, from the technical specifications. The duty personnel observes the adjustment using control devices on the transmitter. Having people in the pavilion during setup work is strictly prohibited (https://vk.com/public158109176) * SHORTWAVE BULLETIN ---------------------------------------- # 2056, 9 June, 2024 edited by Thomas Nilsson, Sweden SWB latest issue/archive: http://www.hard-core-dx.com/swb/archive.htm * Tropical Bands Monitor 2024 ---------------------------------------- as logged by DX-ers worldwide.

The Lithuanian government has approved the extension of the ban on broadcasting Russian and Belarusian channels in the country. The ban is being introduced for an indefinite period, writes TASS. The ban will remain in effect as long as Russia and Belarus appear in the strategy approved by the unicameral parliament as countries that pose a threat to the country's national security. At the plenary meeting, 99 deputies voted for such a proposal, 3 abstained. There were no votes against. The previous ban was introduced in September 2022 and was set until October of this year.
