Machine translation: http://translate.google.ru & https://translate.yandex.ru/ & https://www.bing.com/translator ----------------------------------------------------------------- ============== EDITOR'S NEWS ============== 52 years ago on Swedish Radio. ---------------------------------------------------------- The house where I started taking my first steps in receiving broadcast stations is no longer on the maps of Moscow. Moscow, Lyublinskaya St., 52, Year of construction: 1962. A five-story brick building. Picture from the Internet: the last days of the house (https://vk.com/wall-152491538_118178). You can see it here: https://rusdx.blogspot.com/2024/10/blog-post_94.html A new building will be erected in its place next year under the renovation program in Moscow. I have not lived at this address for a long time, but my first steps in receiving broadcast stations will remain in my memory. Until then, this address will remain in memory, which was published 52 years ago in the Radio Sweden bulletin "Sweden Calling DX-ers" # 1156 (4 January 1972) - Picture: https://rusdx.blogspot.com/2024/10/blog-post_8.html Internet link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1LcZyOHfkmJLg0BVW_UnkQZZdIpu5LOxG/view It was the time when I was starting to take my first steps in the DX hobby. There were ups and downs. There were successes and failures. Then there was a time when contacts with foreign radio stations and countries were not welcomed, and here they announced the home address on the air and published it in a foreign bulletin. I did not think that there would be certain negative consequences, but in the end my faith in radio won. But first, in mid-1971, the home address of Alexander Firsov from Moscow was announced on Swedish Radio. I was second on this list. Then the addresses of other radio listeners from the USSR were on the air. Today on the Internet today you can read some issues of the printed edition Sweden Calling DXers in the 1970's (1970-1979) - http://www.dxguides.info/p/dx-memories.html Thanks to correspondence it was the first step to get acquainted with DX-listeners in a large country. Now everything is easier, using the Internet you can find everything, maybe that is why there are fewer radio lovers. But at that time all this did not exist and it is difficult for a modern person to understand how it all was and what difficulties had to be overcome. If in the 70s of the last century the USSR did not welcome contacts with foreign countries, today on the contrary Western countries do not welcome contacts with Russia and impose sanctions, less funds are allocated for Russian language broadcasting departments, which conduct friendly broadcasting and do everything possible so that mail contacts with Russia practically disappear. But that is another story. ======================== FROM KAMCHATKA TO THE BALTICS ======================== * October competitions (10/30/2024). --------------------------------------------- Information on participants in competitions for the right to carry out terrestrial broadcasting using specific radio frequencies from October 30, 2024 1-2.

In Russian. The power is low, the station is shaking. If you look at the SDRs, the possible location of the transmitter is the European part of Russia (closer to the North-West), or the nearest neighboring countries Musical repertoire: rock, techno, conceptual albums. At 1.25 Moscow time, fragments of the program "Exotica" were heard, which is broadcast on Radio Russia. The identification is read on the air by a robotic voice: in English and Russian. No contacts for feedback have been noticed. If suddenly, the owner of the transmitting equipment sees these lines: a very big request: move the frequency. 5055 kHz is a "dirty" frequency in every sense. A low-power signal is drowning, it is very difficult to receive. Literally +/- 5 kHz and it will be quite decent I am attaching the identification (if someone can make out anything): https://vk.com/public158109176?z=video-158109176_456239548%2Fff6570ff5288593720%2Fpl_wall_-158109176 https://vk.com/public158109176?w=wall-158109176_3772 (https://vk.com/public158109176) - 5835 kHz Radio Europe.

The service, launched in April 2024, has helped to cut the time customers spend at the post office by half. Self-service zones appeared in Russian Post offices in Q2 2024. They allow you to independently prepare letters and parcels for sending. Self-service zones are equipped in more than 1,000 of the busiest offices from the Kaliningrad Region to the Far East. The company is currently gradually replacing personal computers with special kiosks equipped with scales, a printer for self-adhesive labels, a barcode scanner and an online cash register. In the future, the devices will have cameras, microphones, contactless letter and parcel delivery systems, which will further improve the customer experience. The refurbishment of self-service areas will be completed next year.

Information TV magazine for those studying Russian. --------------------------------------------------------- The information TV magazine for those studying Russian called "Contact" appeared in the broadcast grid at the very end of the 80s. Frequency once every two months. The era of perestroika was already ending, and the history of the Soviet Union was, alas, heading towards its inevitable decline. The very first program was devoted to the problems of choosing a profession and child labor. By the way, one episode of the project lasted an average of 30 minutes. Returning to the topic: journalists made a number of stories related to the issue of pocket money for children. In addition, they talked about the housing problems of young families and youth complexes of MZhK.

STORY. ======================== - Portable radio receiver "Neiva RP-208-1". -------------------------------------------------- Since 2005, it was produced by Kamensk-Uralskoye PO "Oktyabr". The radio receiver differs from the model "Neiva RP-208" by a different circuit and the absence of a SW sub-range. Details in Russian + photos: https://www.rw6ase.narod.ru/index1/radiopriem/rp_pp/rp_pp2/neywa_rp208_1.html (http://www.rw6ase.narod.ru/) - Portable radio receiver "Neiva RP-211". ------------------------------------------------------- It was produced since 1997 by the Kamensk-Uralsky Instrument-Making Plant (PO "Oktyabr"). The radio receiver was produced after the 2000s, probably until 2015. Superheterodyne radio receiver of the 2nd complexity class provides reception of programs of radio broadcasting stations in the ranges of VHF-1 65.8 ... 74 MHz and VHF-2 88 ... 108 MHz and three sub-ranges of short waves. Reception is carried out on a telescopic antenna.

Honorable third place! --------------------------------------------------------------- A legend and a dream of many collectors - the radio receiver "Riga-10" was produced since 1952 at the Riga Radio Plant named after A.S. Popov. The receiver had a memorable appearance: a non-standard scale with a carbolite frame on the right side of the device, which served as an obvious decoration of its decor. Plus to this - the device had excellent acoustic qualities, giving its owner a lot of positive emotions. In the top five most beautiful radio receivers of the Soviet Union, "Riga-10" takes an honorable third place!

(wolfie df5sx) -----Urspr?ngliche Nachricht----- From: Glenn Hauser via groups.io Sent: Thursday, October 10, 2024 To: WOR DXLD Subject: [WOR] About superlong Zarya MW transmitting antennas, Armenia and Tajikistan In our work at both Gavar and Orzu we inquired and the local folks had essentially no technical information on the Zarya antennas. They were set up and tuned by folks (from Moscow?) for specific frequencies and that's that. I can say that from my notes it is clear that retuning them would require moving a lot of shorted transmission line sections used for phase and amplitude control. And we have notes from a talk given to IBB personnel by a Russian engineer which state that the gain (presumably of the long version) is "40" which (if that is voltage) would be ~32 dB. I also have horizontal and vertical gain patterns for the 8 lambda and 10 lambda versions taken by a colleague from photographing a document, he was shown at Orzu, but that is the extent of my actual technical data. The drawings are so small that measuring them with a polar planimeter to obtain the gain would be subject to ambiguity.
