But I remember the years of the last century, when everything was different - there was no Internet, but there was a regular telephone and by dialing the help desk number "09" you could find out the number of an organization or store in Moscow. There were telephone booths on the streets and by dropping a coin you could call the number of your choice. - Why was installing a home telephone a problem in the USSR?

Radio-M, as it was called then, became famous during the August putsch of August 19-21, 1991 - it was one of the few to speak out against the State Emergency Committee. From the first day of its existence, Echo of Moscow adhered to one rule - all significant points of view on events must be presented. On air - political and cultural news, press reviews, author's and guest programs, communication with listeners. Initially, the radio station broadcast on medium waves (1206 kHz) and lasted only three hours from 19:00 to 22:00. In 1994, the station switched to round-the-clock broadcasting, and the Most group became a major shareholder of Echo of Moscow JSC.

During the day, Russian and foreign dance music (Dance CHR), the morning show "Wakeuppers", interactive with listeners, in the evening - the Kremov and Khrustalev Show, and at night - DJ mixes and world electronic music (EDM). However, such a sound did not appear immediately. At first, "Record" played music of different genres - from pop hits to Russian rock. DJs came on air and played the music they liked. Only in 1997 did the transition to a dance format take place, which was chosen by a vote of listeners.

Until the end of September 2024, prices have been "frozen" in some stores, while in others they have been reduced by 20-27%. Russian electronics stores have begun to "freeze" prices on socially significant goods before the new school year. The first stores to do so were DNS and Citylink. Retailers reported that prices were fixed for 75-160 items of electronics and equipment. The initiative to "freeze" prices on equipment before the start of the school year came in August from the Federal Antimonopoly Service of the Russian Federation. Then the FAS suggested that M.Video-Eldorado, Citylink and DNS not to raise the cost of goods, but to leave them at the level of July 2024. The service believed that these measures "will have a positive impact on the market." All three companies supported the FAS proposal and promised to adhere to the principles of responsible pricing.

Demonstration production of televisions (Article). ------------------------------------------------------------------- https://expert.ru/promishlennost/pokazatelnoe-proizvodstvo/ Television has made an invaluable contribution to the development of the information society. It has become the most important technological innovation of the 20th century, as epochal as photography, telegraph, cinema, sound recording and radio in their time. Perhaps this is why television receivers in the USSR were produced based mainly on their own engineering developments, and there was practically no shortage of this equipment. "Expert" continues a series of author's publications on the history of Russian industry. Today we tell how the production of televisions was established in the USSR. Details in Russian: https://vk.com/public72537297?w=wall-72537297_26735 (https://vk.com/public72537297) * Recording as a means of self-expression. -------------------------------------- The magnetic tape we are accustomed to was developed in Germany in the 1930s. When German tape recorders came to the United States after World War II, they became a model for copying and were quickly introduced to the mass market. The Soviet Union also established tape recorder production in the late 1940s, although the relevant departments of the USSR did not understand the point of relatively expensive equipment if there were gramophones. The benefits of a TV or a washing machine were obvious, but not of a tape recorder. Therefore, their production was minimal in the first years.

Over 60 thousand new domains were discovered in the first half of the year, while for the whole of 2023 - 80 thousand. Such data is provided by the company F.A.C.S.T. (formerly Group-IB), they are published by Kommersant. According to analysts, search query traffic to pirate portals decreased by 7.9%, the volume of the online piracy market for January-June also decreased - by 9.5%, to $ 19 million. The largest share of content on pirated sites is occupied by foreign films - 72%. Legal market participants note that Russian services are actively combating piracy within the framework of a memorandum signed by search engines and copyright holders (Yandex, VGTRK, GPMKh, Channel One and others) in 2018. But the measures are not always effective, since links to pirated resources are often distributed through Google and are not blocked.

A complete catalog with prices. ---------------------------------------------- Anyone who was into amateur radio during the USSR remembers very well that this hobby was very expensive. Of course, there will be those who will prove that the Pioneer Club or DOSAAF gave out parts for free. It's a pity that such clubs were only in large cities, which can be counted on the fingers, and in the provinces, the amateur radio operator was forced to get parts himself. Moreover, there were no radio parts stores there, the only salvation was radio parts by mail. I have three catalogs of this glorious organization from Aviamotornaya 50. Today I want to post a full scan of the earliest catalog - for 1961. Let me remind you a little: In 1961, Khrushchev's monetary reform had just passed, in today's terms - denomination. The salaries of ordinary workers were low - 60-80 rubles. Ice cream also cost 20 kopecks, and a movie session - 5 kopecks. The cheapest tube radio "Moskvich" - 21 rubles. Let's go back to the catalog.

Kamosa Transmitting Center in the Northern Mariana Islands. -------------------------------------------------------------------- This was reported by local media in the Pacific territory of the United States, based on a letter from the United States Agency for Global Media (USAGM). "I suspect that over the past week your organization has heard about major changes taking place at the Robert E. Kamosa Transmitting Center (REKTS) of the United States Agency for Global Media. These changes include the cessation of all shortwave broadcasts from our stations on Saipan and Tinian, which is the first step in closing the transmitting center," the letter says.
