This is probably what influenced the fact that the station broadcast not only on VHF in Moscow, but also on medium waves and for the first 4 years on short waves, so its reception was possible in most of Russia and abroad. This is stated in an interview for AiF by Tatyana Zeleranskaya https://archive.aif.ru/archive/1642132 There were many interesting programs, especially memorable were two weekly musical ones - "Fiesta española" and "Ritmos latinoamericanos", both prepared by radio host Miguel. After the closure of Radio Nadezhda, these programs moved to Radio Culture and were broadcast there until recently.

The station had studios in New York and, since 2007, in Sacramento, California, and broadcast from approximately 1996 until 2019. Sacramento-based spouses Valery and Irina Kitsen, who have owned paid digital radio broadcasting company NDR (Netcom Digital Radio) since 2007, included 24-hour archived broadcasts of American Radio on their web radio channel "Nashe Radio" (Sacramento) on weekends throughout 2023. Hope". Previously, they both took part in the preparation and hosting of Radio Nadezhda programs. They remember that the name of the station was given at the suggestion of a sound engineer who, before leaving for the United States, worked in Moscow at the Nadezhda radio station. The American station broadcast nostalgic programs about Soviet actors, musicians, singers, and there was a good program "Art Song Club "Singing Poetry", author and presenter Mikhail Marmer from New York (11/1/1928 - 08/13/2023), he hosted programs on this radio from 1999 to 2015 (about 400 programs) and even before emigrating, while living in Moscow, he was a fan of art songs, knew many bards and organized their "home" concerts.

Users of the service noted two new features - improved search for songs by sound and AI-generated radio. The second allows you to create your own radio station, describing the desired genres, styles and motifs of songs. For example, "energetic tracks for working out" or "electronic background music for work." The new tool is similar to the generation of playlists in other services, in particular Yandex Music or Spotify. For now, neural network radio is only available to select YouTube Premium users in the US. It will be opened to more people in the future.

Radio relay communication. ------------------------------------------------ In Russian. https://vk.com/radioreceiver?w=wall-163779953_88069 The book outlines the purpose, principles of operation and basic schemes of radio relay communication, which opens up wide opportunities for the development of long-distance telephone connections, as well as prospects for the exchange of television programs between cities. The presentation of the book's material is intended for a trained radio amateur. The book, dedicated to troubleshooting TVs, talks about ways to check the main indicators of a TV by external signs, identifying a faulty unit using a block diagram and finding faults in individual cascades. Using examples of manufactured televisions, the circuit features of individual components and the malfunctions that arise in them are examined. (https://vk.com/radioreceiver) * Why is there 220 volts in the outlet? ---------------------------------------- Each of us knows from childhood that the outlet has 220 volts. This number has become firmly entrenched in culture and is mentioned in books, films, jokes... But why was 220 volts chosen and not, for example, 200 or 250? Strictly speaking, the statement that the outlet has 220 volts is not one hundred percent true. Back in 1992, GOST 29322-92 was adopted, according to which the voltage in the household electrical network should be 230 V. But according to current standards, deviations of 10% in both directions are allowed, that is, the outlet can have from 207 to 253 V, and all equipment should work at any voltage in this range. So where did the treasured value "220" come from? In short, as a result of a combination of historical and economic reasons. The case involves different types of light bulbs, Thomas Edison and Mikhail Dolivo-Dobrovolsky. And how exactly - let's look at it in detail.

In 2010, the call signs of the radio station were heard by residents of Moscow. Today, the regional network of Dorozhnoe Radio is the largest in Russia, has 391 transmitter installation points and sounds not only in cities, but also on all major domestic highways and local roads, forming a single broadcasting space, the total length of which is estimated at 1 .1 million kilometers. Over 70 million people live in the radio station's broadcast area, which is half the population of Russia. Details in Russian - https://emg.fm/news/1515 (https://emg.fm/) * Book on the Internet. S.

A bill obliging them to do this was introduced into the State Duma on July 11. Why it will take five years to switch to new software and how television will be protected during this time, as well as how the enemies of Russia are attacking our media, Parlamentskaya Gazeta found out.

But I didn't know that their screen could interfere at 15265 kHz. On the first day, I couldn't understand why there was so much noise while listening to KBS World radio. On the second evening, I turned off the watch screen using the remote control and the 15265 kHz interference immediately disappeared. The screen of a 24-inch monitor creates slight interference when receiving shortwave radio stations. Therefore, when listening to HF radio stations, I prefer to turn off the monitor. (AM / Radio reception - Telegram) * Rating of St. Petersburg radio stations from Mediascope. -------------------------------------------------- ----------- It was presented by the St. Petersburg branch of the Union of Journalists of Russia (https://t.me/jourspb). The first three places in it in terms of average daily audience, as before, are occupied by Road Radio, Europe Plus and Retro FM, respectively.

And in fact, this is really true! "Health" is more than half a century old. The first program went on air back in 1960. The program was hosted first by professional announcers, then by TV journalist Alla Melik-Pashayeva. But TV viewers of the period of the 70-80s remembered "Health", first of all, for the memorable appearance of its presenter, Yulia Belyanchikova. And this is not surprising. Candidate of Medical Sciences, Honored Doctor of the RSFSR Yulia Vasilievna Belyanchikova led the program for more than twenty years (from 1969 to 1992).

MERLIN receivers were not sold in Russia, but many employees of the enterprise were able to "purchase" them.
