Friends' Day.
The world holiday dedicated to friendship is celebrated on June 9. Its goal is to remind people of the value of friendly 
relationships. This is a great reason to spend time with friends you haven't seen for a long time, or to make peace 
with someone you've had a fight with.
The collage features the cover of the first issue of the Radio Friends Society magazine, Leningrad, 1924, and a silver 
badge from a century ago.

In June 1928, radio workshops were organized in the old telegraph building in Moscow. Only 42 people worked there, 
who made receiving and transmitting equipment in a semi-artisanal manner. A year later, the workshops were called 
Plant # 3 of the Promsvyaz Trust, and in 1932, the Aleksandrovsky Radio Plant was created on their basis.

On this day (June) exactly 28 years ago, the TV Center channel began broadcasting.
It was launched in Moscow on 3 TVK instead of 2x2 and MTK based on the latter.
"TV Center" is a federal city TV channel, the controlling stake of which belongs to the Government of Moscow. The 
broadcast grid is dominated by news, analytical and documentary programs, domestic films and TV series.

On this day (June 9), exactly 28 years ago, Moscow's "Third Channel" was launched simultaneously with "TV Center" 
on 3 TVK.
Previously, it was called "Moskovia". Joint broadcasting on one frequency of two channels was explained primarily by 
the fact that "TV Center" represented the interests of the Moscow authorities, and "Moskovia" - the Moscow region. In 
addition to regional news, patriotic and religious programs predominated in the network.

15 & 19 / June.
---------------------
A very unusual holiday and very relevant for people living in the frantic pace of the modern world - International Walk 
Day - is celebrated in mid-June. The Internet indicates two dates for its celebration - June 15 or 19. The second is the 
most common.
So, International Walk Day, or Leisurely Walk Day is a holiday that calls to appreciate the importance of such a 
seemingly obvious, but forgotten by many way to relax, relieve stress or just nervous tension, like a walk.
The collage contains a drawing by the German artist Arthur Thiele (1860-1936), with the conventional title "Walk of 
Radio Amateurs".

Single-letter beacons on the air.

Bob's Radio Corner: Tuning Single-Letter Cluster Beacons.
Tuning Single-Letter Cluster Beacons
by Bob Colegrove
Part of the allure of shortwave listening for me has always been vicarious visits to "those faraway places with the 
strange-soundin' names."  After one has logged several big-time broadcasters, one begins to look for new challenges.  
Most of the so-called "utility" content which once occupied the space between the broadcasters and hams is now a 
vast open desert interrupted only with an occasional digital buzzsaw, a wide-band CODAR experiment, or some 
RTTY.  But now and then you come across a signal that grabs your interest.  In this case it happens to be a group of 
signals referred to as the Russian single-letter beacons.  A good introduction to these beacons is here
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Letter_beacon
and here
https://www.hfunderground.com/wiki/Letter_beacon.
After many years, there is still some speculation as to the history, purpose and power of the single-letter beacons.  
Rather than repeat what has already been said, this posting focuses on my technique for monitoring a subset of 
these beacons called "cluster beacons."  They are called that because they are grouped close together, just 100 Hz 
apart, at ten different locations across the shortwave spectrum.  A good tabular summary is at 
https://priyom.org/military-stations/russia/single-letter-beacons.  Some stations may not currently be broadcasting or 
may be on at selected times.

Channels, registration and new functions: details about the national messenger have appeared.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
According to the head of the Ministry of Digital Development, new functionality should appear on the platform by 
autumn. For example, public channels, digital ID, electronic signature and so on. In addition, the messenger will 
exclude the possibility of authorization through a substitute number. According to Maksut Shadayev, the national 
messenger will be safer for Russian users than foreign analogues.
"User registration will take place from Russian numbers, the use of foreign and substitute numbers will be excluded. 
But the minister has doubts about the mandatory linking of each account to "Gosuslugi". In his opinion, this is 
necessary only for users of government services. In my opinion, verified accounts in the national messenger are 
needed and should be provided with clearly visible markings," the head of the State Duma IT Committee Anton 
Gorelkin quotes Shadayev as saying.

History of Radio Mayak: from the Soviet analogue of "voices" to a modern giant.
--------------------------------------------------------
Contents:
- First broadcast and the revolutionary format "5/25".
- Technical superiority and all-Union popularity.
- People who created the legend.
- "Mayak" in the era of change. 1990s and 2000s.
- Modern "Mayak".
- "Mayak" in culture and everyday life.
In the early 1960s, the Soviet leadership faced an unexpected problem - despite all efforts to "jam", the broadcasts of 
Western radio stations such as the BBC and the Voice of America continued to enjoy enormous popularity among the 
population of the USSR. These "enemy voices", as they were called then, satisfied the information hunger of Soviet 
citizens, offering not only an alternative view of world events, but also Western music that was unavailable in the 
USSR. In the context of the Cold War, this represented a serious ideological threat.

Should a modern person know Morse code?
------------------------------------------------------------
The telegraph code developed by Samuel Morse together with Alfred Vail in 1838 revolutionized communications. It is 
curious that the impetus for the creation of this system was the personal drama of the inventor - he was unable to 
receive news of his wife's serious illness in time due to the slowness of the then existing methods of transmitting 
information. The first official message transmitted over a telegraph line on May 24, 1844 between Washington and 
Baltimore contained the biblical quotation "What hath God wrought?" and covered a distance of 64 kilometers.

Smartphones become obsolete very quickly - on average, 2-3 years pass, and if it is a budget model, then using such 
a device is difficult and even dangerous. Software changes quickly, and old applications may simply not work 
correctly. The reason here, of course, is simple - technical progress, otherwise companies would simply go bankrupt 
if there were no such progress.
Let's imagine a situation where you have an old smartphone that is 2-3 years old. It works, but not as well: 
applications open for several seconds, there is no real multitasking, everything slows down. I don't want to throw it 
away, sell it - no one will buy it, there's no one to give it to. What to do? I've selected several options for using such a 
device for you.

Krenkel's mentor. The style of radio operator Girshevich was easily recognizable.
---------------------------------------------------
I continue a short series of stories about radio operators who worked in the Arctic in the 1930s. Unfortunately, most of 
these heroes have already been forgotten, perhaps only Ernst Krenkel is known. But there were other radio operators 
besides him.
Let me remind you that there were two radio operators on the icebreaker "Alexander Sibiryakov": Ernst Krenkel and 
Evgeny Girshevich. Today we will remember Evgeny Nikolaevich.

5 reasons to reconnect your home phone.
-------------------------------------------
Contents:
- Calls to landlines in your region.
- The quality of communication is more stable than that of a mobile phone.
- Convenient flexible tariffs.
- Energy independence.
- A question of comfort.
The world is gradually abandoning landlines - they have been replaced by mobile communications. Previously, the 
home phone was, perhaps, the only means of communication. Sometimes it did not work - when you picked up the 
receiver, there were short beeps, and this indicated problems with the PBX. My father immediately ran to the 
payphone to call the station and report the problem, even if the phone was not needed at the moment.
Many people disconnected their home phone because they did not need it, for some it was disconnected without 
warning at all. For example, in our house, the switchboard at the end of the house was stolen, and everyone at once 
lost their home phone: IP telephony was offered. But there are still 5 reasons to bring back a relic of the past. Let's 
talk about them.

TV program "According to your letter".
---------------------------------------------------
The cycle of programs called "According to your letter" was created within the walls of the Main Editorial Board of 
Literary and Dramatic Programs. It was 1982.
The duration of one issue is sixty minutes on average. As a rule, the first and far from long block of each program was 
a review of letters. TV viewers actively sent them to the editorial address.
The main part of the program is a television play, which was created based on the most relevant and currently topical 
text of the letter.

The Meridian radio receiver that no one has ever seen.
---------------------------------------------------
From time to time, life throws up such amazing riddles that you wonder: what else awaits you ahead. And this time I 
came across an interesting model of a radio receiver that I had never seen before. Moreover, there is no information 
about this radio receiver anywhere. I will tell you in order:
In 1966, a secret plant producing devices for space technology is given the order to urgently master the production of 
household radio receivers for export. It was simply that in those years, the demand for Soviet radio receivers abroad 
increased sharply, and it was necessary to urgently increase production volumes and assortment.
Since 1967, the plant began producing the Meridian transistor radio receiver. Perhaps, it was the first model that was 
the most beautiful in the long history of the production of this brand of radio receivers.

Illustrative image: map of Switzerland.
As you know, Switzerland is the second country in the world, after Norway (Norway did this back in 2017), to switch 
off radio stations in the FM range. In October 2023, the Federal Council (the Swiss government) last extended 
licenses for the right to broadcast FM radio - they are valid until the end of 2026, after which radio stations in 
Switzerland will no longer have the right to broadcast in the FM range, they will only have the digital format, noted the 
Swiss foreign broadcaster swissinfo.ch - a division of the Swiss National Television and Radio Company SRG SSR.

"Titanic" had the most advanced ship radio station of its time, developed by the British company Marconi. The 
complex included two spark transmitters with a power of 5 kilowatts, operating on a wave of 300 meters (with the 
ability to switch to 600 meters). The antenna system with a total length of 120 meters, placed between the masts at a 
height of 80 meters, provided stable communication at a distance of up to 800 kilometers during the day and up to 
3000 kilometers at night.
