Topic "Esperanto". ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Date. July 26. Esperanto Day. Every year on July 26, fans of the world's first artificial language celebrate Esperanto Day. This sign system was created by ophthalmologist Ludwig Markovich Zamenhof (1859-1917). He was born in Bialystok - now this city is located in Poland, and in the 19th century it was part of the Russian Empire. The collage includes a bust of L.M. Zamenhof and the logo of the International League of Esperantists-Radio Amateurs. (Ruslan Slavutskiy, Moskovskaya oblast, Russia).

Shishkin, St. Petersburg. https://www.cqr3d.ru/vmir/800-radio-i-esperanto.html (Ruslan Slavutskiy, Moskovskaya oblast, Russia). * Last century. 60s. ------------------------------------- I studied in a regular Soviet school. At school they taught writing using a pencil, a fountain pen, and eventually a ballpoint pen appeared. At first, the price of a ballpoint pen was high and it was necessary to refill the gel in workshops, where there were special devices for refilling rods. This was the beginning. Now a ballpoint pen can already be a work of art, since the pen itself can be painted with different images. A short article with photos from the Internet. Why didn't they use ballpoint pens in the USSR until the 60s? Each of us is familiar with a ballpoint pen. But this is now: in the 20th century, while the whole world was getting acquainted with an amazing invention, in the Soviet Union they stubbornly continued to write letters with a thin pen.

Parachutist's Day. --------------------------------------------------- Parachutist's Day is celebrated in Russia annually on July 26. This holiday is dedicated to the event that took place on July 26, 1930, when a group of Soviet pilots and mechanics of the 11th Aviation Brigade of the Moscow Military District, led by the brigade commander of the Red Army Air Forces Leonid Grigorievich Minov, made a series of parachute jumps from airplanes near Voronezh for the first time. This event marked the beginning of the mass development of parachuting in the USSR. Parachutist's Day has not been approved legally, but widely celebrated among parachutists. The collage shows a jump from the Ostankino TV tower and a souvenir badge "Parachute Sport". (Ruslan Slavutskiy, Moskovskaya oblast).

August 1. 60th anniversary of the Mayak radio station. --------------------------------------------------- - In 1964, the state radio company Mayak went on air for the first time. (Newspaper "Telek pressa.ru" # 30 (651), 2024) - On August 1, the information and music radio station Mayak went on air for the first time on the second program of the All-Union Radio. The task of the 24-hour "Mayak" is to steal the audience from the Western "voices" Call signs are the first phrase of the song by Solovyov-Sedoy "Moscow Nights" repeated three times in notes, then "beep-beep" signals, then they will tell you what time it is, then 5 minutes - news, then 24 minutes of music, then another 5 and another 24. Music blocks are grouped by sections and genres: on the "Mayak" wave - arias from classical operettas, or melodies of the Soviet movie screen, or stars of the Hungarian stage. (https://namednibook.ru/vy-slushaete-mayak.html) - The name of the radio station is an allusion to the course beacons for Soviet pilots. The melody "Moscow Nights" was chosen as a call sign, which is still used today. Few people remember now that the first two "minor" bars of this song ("Not even a rustle is heard in the garden...") in the 1960s were only played in multiples of one hour (9:00, 13:00, 18:00, etc.). In a half-hour interval (9:30, 13:30, 18:30, etc.) the third and fourth, "major" bars were played ("Everything here froze until the morning"), which made it possible to determine the time by ear very quickly and conveniently with an accuracy of up to half an hour. Unfortunately, the call signs were later unified. (https://gitr.ru/news/bibliotechnyj-den-pozyvnye-mayaka/) * Day in history: Radio Melodiya. ---------------------------------------- On this day (July 22), exactly 19 years ago, "Radio Melodiya" was launched in Moscow on 89.9 FM. This radio station came to the capital from St. Petersburg, where it has been operating since 1999 on 91.1 FM. The broadcast was mainly composed of Soviet songs from the 60s - 80s, as well as performances by famous comedians. Since January 2007, the owner of "Radio Melodiya" has been "European Media Group". At that time, the station occupied 25th place among all its broadcast competitors in Moscow, and most of the listeners were over 50 years old. This situation did not suit EMG, which already had a commercially successful radio station with a similar concept - "Retro FM". Thus, on December 10, "Radio Melodiya" was replaced by "Keks FM". (https://vk.com/tvradiomsk) * Day in history: "Govorit Moskva" on 90.8 FM. ---------------------------------------------------- On this day (July 26), exactly 26 years ago, test broadcasting of the city information radio "Govorit Moskva" was launched on the frequency of 90.8 FM. This station operated under a temporary license around the clock from the Balashikha radio center. At first, the signal coverage was very small, but during the development of the frequency, the broadcasting zone was gradually expanded. On November 26, 1999, "Govorit Moskva" stopped working on the FM frequency by decision of the Ministry of Press. On February 24, 2000, the Media-Most group project "Sport FM" began broadcasting in its place. Today, "Govorit Moskva" is called "Radio Moskva", and the broadcast is available only on channel 3 of the wired network.

The new Alisa-s transceiver can be used to organize communications in the village of Tiksi. Transmitters are installed every 16 kilometers, providing communications in the village, said the head of the expedition, deputy director of the Institute of Master's Degree in Academic Affairs of SPbSUT Andrey Stepanov. After testing, the device will be sent for revision. The scientist named conducting scientific research in the field of developing communications in remote regions of the country as one of the main tasks of the expedition. The Arctic expedition is supported by the Higher School of Economics, ANO "Russia - Country of Opportunities", the St. Petersburg Committee for Arctic Affairs, and the government of the Sakha Republic. After Yakutsk and Tiksi, the researchers will head to the Lena Pillars, the village of Bykovsky, Lake Kyureekel-Kyule and the Buluus Glacier.

In addition to reducing time losses, resource costs for signal transmission were also reduced. Researchers from St. Petersburg have developed a mathematical apparatus for optimizing the frequency-time synchronization (FTS) process with reduced costs of both resources and time. Thanks to the new development, the data transfer rate has increased by almost a third due to the reduction of unproductive factors, while maintaining the highest possible accuracy of FTS.

For now, the problems will only affect the desktop version. According to State Duma deputy Alexander Khinshtein, the speed of the PC version of YouTube may decrease to 40% by the end of the current week, and next week the slowdown will increase to 70%. The restrictions will not affect users of the mobile application. Apparently, such "degradation" of the video hosting is aimed specifically against the administration of the foreign resource, and not against the residents of Russia. All so that they notice that the state has moved on to specific steps. "The future of YouTube in Russia depends solely on itself. If the resource administration does not change its policy and does not begin to comply with our laws, nothing good awaits it here" Details in Russian - https://hi-tech.mail.ru/news/112790-skorost-youtube-snizitsya-na-70-za-dve- nedeli/?frommail=2&utm_partner_id=447 (https://mail.ru/) * 1000 small satellites are planned to be launched into Earth orbit in Novosibirsk. -------------------------------------------------------------- The Fifth Generation Design Bureau, in cooperation with Roscosmos, plans to launch up to 1,000 small satellites into Earth orbit. This was announced by the company's CEO Oleg Kus during Mikhail Mishustin's visit to Akademgorodok. The launch of satellites is necessary to ensure continuous Internet of Things in hard-to-reach regions of the planet. In the spring of 2024, Roscosmos already concluded a trilateral agreement on strategic partnership with the private Fifth Generation Design Bureau and JSC Gonets Satellite System (part of Roscosmos). Thanks to the launch, the signal will be transmitted even in the absence of communication. This is extremely important, for example, for the development of territories at the Poles of the Earth. This was reported by the TASS publication with reference to Oleg Kus. The Internet of Things is a system that unites technical devices into a single network, within which they can communicate and exchange information without human intervention. mk.ru (https://tele-satinfo.ru/) * According to TASS (http://tass.ru/), as of mid-2024, the total weekly audience of radio listeners in Russia exceeds 50 million people. ----------------------------------------------------------- And a total of 3.5 thousand licenses have been issued for radio broadcasting. The number of radio stations is approximately the same. At the same time, purely music radio stations do not exceed 10% of the total number. The overwhelming majority of radio broadcasting stations are located in the Central (106) and Volga (90) regions. Also, according to the Ministry of Digital Development, Communications and Mass Media, 11 radio holdings and 41 federal radio stations operate in the Russian Federation.

The first page of the instructions for the radio receiver "Mechta" was found on the Internet. There are no photos of the model, but it is safe to say that it was the unborn sister of the receiver "Start".

The fifteen-tube superheterodyne radio receiver "Leningrad 50" was produced since 1950 at the Leningrad Plant named after Kozitsky. The receiver provides high-quality loudspeaker reception of radio stations in three ranges: LW, MW and SW, and can also be used as an amplifying device for playing gramophone records using a pickup.

By the way, the design of most of our tube TVs is very popular with foreign collectors, which is confirmed by admiring comments when our domestic TV becomes the subject of discussion on foreign forums.

(EK) ============ WORLD NEWS ============ * RUSSIA: Russia bans European media outlets - Association for International Broadcasting (AIB), 28 June 2024 --------------------------------------------------- Russia's Foreign Ministry has announced bans on a large number of media companies - broadcast, digital and print - based in EU Member States. The move is in response to the continuing bans in place in the EU that prohibit many Russian media outlets from being broadcast in EU Member States. In a statement on 25 June, the Ministry said: In response to the May 17 decision of the EU Council, banning broadcasting by three Russian media outlets, including RIA Novosti, Izvestia MIC and Rossiyskaya Gazeta, effective as of today, June 25, countermeasures are being introduced that limit access to broadcasting resources in the Russian Federation for media outlets of the EU member states and EU media operators that systemically spread false information about the special military operation. The Russian side has repeatedly warned at various levels that politically motivated persecution of Russian journalists and unjustified bans on Russian media outlets in the EU will not go unanswered. This notwithstanding, Brussels and the capitals of the bloc's countries preferred to further escalate the situation. By imposing another illegitimate ban, they forced Moscow to introduce symmetrical and proportional countermeasures. Responsibility for these developments rests solely with the EU leadership and the countries of this association that support this decision. The Russian side will revise its decision concerning the above-mentioned media operators if restrictions against Russian media outlets are lifted, A list of 81 media outlets of the EU member states and EU media operators, covered by retaliatory measures and restrictions limiting broadcasts and internet access on the territory of the Russian Federation can be found at: (News DX MAGAZINE 7/2024 - WORLDWIDE DX CLUB, Germany) * Azerbaijan. ------------------- A large-scale modernization of FM radio infrastructure in Azerbaijan has been announced.
