On December 25, Christmas is celebrated not only by Catholics, but also by Orthodox Christians in a number of countries around the world, Lutherans and other Protestant denominations. In Russia, Christmas is traditionally celebrated on the night of January 6-7, which, according to the old Julian calendar, corresponds to December 25 - the Russian Orthodox Church still adheres to it in its worship services. On this day, the 40-day Nativity Fast ends and Christmastide begins, which will last until the Epiphany of the Lord. - Merry Christmas! ----------------------- - Tooru Gouhara, Japan. Picture.

According to Roskomnadzor, it did not meet the requirements necessary to prevent terrorist and extremist threats. Access to the Viber messenger is restricted due to the violation of the requirements of Russian legislation for organizers of information dissemination, Roskomnadzor reported. "Fulfillment [of the requirements] is necessary to prevent threats of using the messenger for terrorist and extremist purposes, recruiting citizens to commit them, selling drugs, as well as in connection with the posting of illegal information," the report said. According to Mediascope data for November, Viber is in third place in popularity in Russia, behind WhatsApp (owned by the extremist and banned Meta) and Telegram. It is used monthly by 26% of the country's population, on average, 14% of Russians use it per day, the company calculated.

It does not please with the purity of sound or popular music, but most often responds with hissing, crackling and strange voices that sound like they are from the distant past. Many people wonder: why do we need it at all? Is it really a relic of the past that should have been erased from technology long ago? In fact, the AM range is an important tool, the significance of which goes far beyond entertainment. What is happening with AM in Russia and abroad Unfortunately, in modern Russia, AM radio has almost disappeared. In the early 2000s, many transmitters were switched off due to their high cost. An AM transmitter requires significantly more energy to operate than an FM transmitter. If FM radio stations get by with a power of 0.5-3 kW, then an AM transmitter needs hundreds of kilowatts. With low audience interest and no advertising, it became unprofitable. However, this decision deprived the country of a universal means of communication in emergency situations. If a man-made disaster or natural disaster occurs, AM could become the only way to alert vast territories where FM and cellular communications do not work. Unlike Russia, AM radio is still used in other countries. In the US, Europe, China and Arab countries, long and medium waves remain popular for talk programs, news and emergency information broadcasts. Some radio stations broadcast around the clock; others only go on air at certain hours. This confirms that the AM range has not yet lost its importance.

During the day, the no less mysterious "pankosvod", "onerorust", "lagograch" and "geenna" were heard. A total of 24 words were spoken, the last of which ("brodoschelk") was broadcast at 17:14 Moscow time. This station broadcasts around the clock, but 99.99 percent of the airtime is ordinary radar "buzzing". In this regard, UVB-76 is also called The Buzzer ("Buzzer"). UVD-76 is well known among radio amateurs. Before significant events, signal messages were recorded consisting of one or more mysterious words. In particular, on February 20, 2022, the station transmitted the words "nzhti" and "lesoled". Two days later, words such as "nyukhostikh" and "unstoppable" were transmitted. According to one version, the "Doomsday Radio Station" will have to launch nuclear warheads in the event of a nuclear conflict. Earlier, the "Doomsday Radio Station" UVB-76 became active in September. It transmitted signals resembling encryption. Source: Moscow, December 13 - AiF-Moscow.

The other day my friend Konstantin Nikolaevich called and asked if I needed an old combined measuring device from 1962 and even with a passport. In common parlance, it was called an avometer. Of course, it is a collectible, but it is not at all my profile. It turns out that a village grandfather brought it. Once he was a local radio amateur, but now his eyes are blind and his hands are shaking, so he decided to sell it, a small increase in his pension, so to speak. Well, how can I not help a colleague and an aksakal of radio business - so I suggested Konstantin to bring the device to the city.

I am sure that the employees of Rostelecom and other industry organizations will be very interested in reading the messages of their colleagues from 2024. Perhaps some of the current participants will have a chance to do this and check whether their expectations have come true," said Alexey Usatov, Director of the Krasnoyarsk branch of Rostelecom.

Some of these cables lie underwater, connecting continents. At the moment, this is the only working solution for transmitting huge amounts of information around the world. But there is one drawback: the cables are vulnerable.

Newmarket, Ontario. The broadcaster BVB-Bible Voice Broadcasting (in Russian it calls itself - Radio Station "Voice of the Bible"), in addition to weekly half-hour programs in Russian, currently broadcast on short waves, has been broadcasting for several years on its website https://www.bvbroadcasting.org/listen/language/russian/ in the form of a set of audio podcasts posted regularly on Sundays with a total duration of about 3 hours. Unlike the AWR website, the BVB website does not have an archive of podcasts, and they are available for listening and downloading only during the week. Sometimes podcasts are posted in regional languages of Russia (recently there were in the Udmurt language). (Vladimir, Rybinsk, Yaroslavskaya oblast, Russia) * Syrian television and radio, which turned out to be of no use to anyone. Monitor notes. ----------------------------------------------------- Almost ten days have passed since the fall of the Assad regime in Syria, and below we will summarize what has been happening in these days with the broadcasting of Syrian state television and radio - General Organization of Radio and Television, or better known by the French abbreviation ORTAS - from Organisation de la Radio et la Télévision Arabe Syrienne. Details in Russian: https://obob.tv/veshhateli-i-kanaly/siriyskoe-televidenie-i-radio-kotoro/ (https://obob.tv/) * Talking and showing San Marino. From the series about exotic broadcasters. --------------------------------------------- A broadcaster from one of the smallest countries in the world, but well known to viewers in Europe and the European part of the former USSR, as it broadcasts unencrypted on the Hotbird satellite 13 gr. E., - San Marino RTV has overcome financial difficulties and is even going to hold a song contest. And further in our review we will talk in more detail about this, one of the most exotic television and radio broadcasters in the world. Note that San Marino RTV (full name Radiotelevisione della Repubblica di San Marino) is a public broadcaster in the dwarf Republic of San Marino, which is an enclave in the middle of Italy. 50% of San Marino RTV is owned by the Italian public broadcaster Rai, and the other 50% is owned by the San Marino state through the foundation "Ente per la radiodiffusione sammarinese" - "San Marino Radio Broadcasting Foundation".

When the EU was pushing through its requirements to unify the charging connector in smartphones, Apple desperately resisted. For the American company, the requirement to abandon the proprietary connector threatened to reduce revenue from accessories, and given that even Lightning cables were almost more expensive than gold, this was a serious blow. The only thing Apple achieved was a delay, and now we understand that January 2025 was not chosen by chance. Yes, from the new year in Europe it will be banned to sell smartphones without USB-C, but the last generation with Lightning was the iPhone 14 and SE 3. The first is no longer relevant, and the SE is expecting an update in the spring, and it will definitely have USB-C.
