A telecom market participant explains that the 694-790 MHz range is one of the most efficient for operators and that a possible refusal of broadcasters' priority for its use or the abolition of operator fees for unused spectrum is currently being discussed. The Ministry of Digital Development reports that there is "no decision at the moment" to abolish operator fees for unused range or to transfer digital TV broadcasting to the lower frequency band (470-694 MHz).

(https://vk.com/radioreceiver) * We are gradually approaching the anniversary of the Voice of Russia. Let's try to remember the events that have already passed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This year is not only 95 years of foreign broadcasting, but also 10 years since the Voice of Russia stopped its long- distance work. This happened on the night of March 31 to April 1. After the New Year holidays, letters came to the radio centers of Russia and Abroad about the complete removal of all broadcast sessions in connection with the liquidation of the radio station. The geopolitical events that took place at that time clearly demonstrated the need to maintain broadcasting. But alas. This issue was put to an end and this fact still causes bewilderment. Yes, until November 2014, Vesti was broadcast from three radio centers (1089, 1215, 1413). There was hope that the process of reforming foreign broadcasting would end and Sputnik would remember its main task - long-distance broadcasting. This has not happened yet.

On specialized Internet forums, it is specified that Radio Center No. 7 is a former megawatt radio center that operated in the long-range radio protection system (jammer). It includes the Malaya Zarya, Bolshaya Zarya antennas and two RD-type antennas. Recently, the equipment was used for broadcasting the Mayak radio station at a frequency of 234 kHz. With the help of jammers, in Soviet times, the authorities fought against broadcasting of Western radio stations on the territory of the USSR - the Voice of America and others.

Earlier, a Telesputnik correspondent found about a dozen similar auctions in the public procurement database. Information about a request for proposals in electronic form for the performance of work on the demolition of the 69- meter-high "Television Tower" in the city of Uray (Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug - Yugra, Tyumen Region) appeared in the database on October 22.

This is reported by the Kommersant publication. In particular, this list includes employees of SberDevices and developers of the Aurora OS. Currently, the largest Russian operating systems and widely used software operate on the Linux kernel. All those laid off had the status of maintainers, that is, responsible persons evaluating changes to the Linux kernel subsystems. In turn, the founder of Linux Linus Torvalds essentially confirmed that all 11 people were suspended due to their ties to Russia. He also recalled the anti-Russian sanctions.

The sad calculations came from the Russian Post. They analyzed the transportation of 1 kg of cargo from the village of Tazovsky to the village of Antipayuta (both in the Arctic). It turned out that a drone on this route is 152 times more expensive than a regular flight and 43 times more expensive than a charter. At the same time, the Russian Post, on the contrary, planned to reduce the cost of cargo transportation by using drones, but something went wrong. It seems that cyberpunk is canceled for now.

It was with their help that they could hear the main voice of the country - the voice of the legendary announcer of the All-Union Radio Yuri Levitan, with whom the whole country shared the joy of great victories and the bitterness of losses during the most destructive war in the history of mankind. And on an April morning in 1961, this voice informed the whole world about the first ever human flight into outer space.

Details: https://www.knls.net/qsl-cards/ (Internet) ==================== WORLD NEWS ===================== * Anker Petersen, founder of EDXC in 1967, president of the legendary DSWCI club, has died. ------------------------------------------------ Source #: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100064368054563 (AM / Radio reception, Telegram) # = Since February 25, 2022, Facebook's work in Russia has been limited, and since March 4, it has been completely blocked. - It's sad. But not everyone manages to live to 83 in good health and mind. I made a section in the club's newsletter, and once in good times I went to Copenhagen and met with Anker and Kai Jorgensen, the editor-in-chief. Now both are gone. Let's remember! (Dmitry Mezin / Radiopriem, Telegram) - You can see the photo of that meeting in the Radiopriem - Telegram group, or here - https://rusdx.blogspot.com/2024/10/blog-post_23.html - Yes, it's a pity. I also met both of them many times, the last time in 2016 in Denmark on the occasion of the closure of the Danish Shortwave Club (DSWCI). They were both great people! By the way, Anker, even after the club's closure, published the Domestic Broadcasting Survey for several years. And until recently, he regularly sent his observations to the British DX Club Communication bulletin. Mainly on the tropical bands, which he preferred to listen to. We will always remember him. (Alexander Berezkin / Radio Reception, Telegram) - Internet. History and publications. The Danish Shortwave Club International. http://www.dswci.org/tbmonitor/ - Anker Petersen was 83 years old and had been involved in radio listening associations since the mid-1950s, a popular hobby in northern Europe. In Denmark, his home country, he was one of the founders of the Danish Shortwave Club International (DSWCI), which he chaired (until the club closed in 2016). Until early 2024, Anker was involved in monitoring tropical bands and local shortwave broadcasts. During his lifetime, he was also an officer in the Royal Danish Air Force, working in administrative services, for a long time also at a base in Germany; he was a great travel enthusiast, especially to Asia. Based on materials from Italradio (https://www.italradio.org/portale/index.php?module=News&func=display&sid=4988) The electronic editions of Domestic Broadcasting Survey and Tropical Bands Monitor, which were published by Anker Petersen, can be found on the club's website http://www.dswci.org/ - the archive will be available until the beginning of March 2025.
