C'est sur cette hypothèse du complot que le jeune artiste ukrainien Fedor Alexandrovitch qui, à 4 ans, a lui-même été évacué de la "zone interdite" lors de la catastrophe, convainc le réalisateur Chad Gracia d'enquêter avec lui dans les environs de la centrale. Un passionnant ovni documentaire. Trente ans après, quel bilan dresser de de la plus grosse catastrophe nucléaire de tous les temps ? Et si la pire catastrophe nucléaire de l'histoire n'était pas un accident ? C'est sur cette hypothèse du complot que le jeune artiste ukrainien Fedor Alexandrovitch qui, à 4 ans, a lui-même été évacué de la "zone interdite" lors de la catastrophe, convainc le réalisateur Chad Gracia d'enquêter avec lui dans les environs de la centrale. Dans la forêt déserte et contaminée, à une dizaine de kilomètres, se dresse en effet une gigantesque antenne radio militaire soviétique, la Duga, pièce clé d'un dispositif d'espionnage soviétique top secret. Elle émettait des ondes de basse fréquence qui, entre 1976 et 1981, ont régulièrement perturbé les émissions radio du globe, produisant un mystérieux bruit saccadé baptisé "pic-vert russe" par les Occidentaux. "L'oeil de Moscou, résume Fedor, convaincu que la Duga a joué un rôle dans l'accident, était tout près de son coeur atomique." Il part donc à la rencontre de témoins de tout poil (employés du site, ex-apparatchiks ou spécialistes occidentaux du renseignement, membres de la commission d'enquête mise sur pied après l'accident, historiens, etc.) qui, peu à peu, révèlent de troublantes informations. Mais alors qu'à Kiev des rassemblements massifs défient le président prorusse Viktor Ianoukovitch, le jeune homme reçoit la visite du SBU (l'héritier ukrainien du KGB), qui le somme d'interrompre ses recherches.

"While the article appears better researched than some that have been published, it still contains errors and sensationalism. The article says "The purpose of the Russian Woodpecker remained a mystery. Conspiracy theories ranged from Soviet mind control to weather experiments. Then came the collapse of the Soviet Union, which revealed that the Russian Woodpecker was at the forefront of what was known as "over the horizon" radar". Aside from conspiracy people it was known to be a radar from very early on. The waveform was well understood and its purpose, and potential performance levels, easily understood by anyone in the field. Today some people still believe it was mind control, but then some people believe Elvis is still alive and pumping gas in Montana also. The article further says "The Duga-3 (Eastern) radar broadcasting the Woodpecker signal was located in the forest surrounding Chernobyl." Two errors in one short sentence. The Duga near Chernobyl was not the "Eastern" radar, it was the Western radar, the Eastern radar was located near Komsomolsk-na-Amure in far eastern Russia. And the large antenna and processing facility near Chernobyl did not broadcast the Woodpecker signal. The Duga radars, like many HF OTHRs, were bistatic radars. This meant that the transmitter and the receiver were physically separated. In the case of these radars by about 60 km. The facility that remains today, and is seen in the pictures in that piece, is the receiver, not the transmitter or source of the signal. The transmitter was located about 60 km to the north east, near the city of Lyubech. By the way, Wikipedia, and several other sources, have the locations of the transmitter and receiver reversed.

BBG CONDEMNS TARGETING OF INDEPENDENT JOURNALISTS IN CRIMEA, INCLUDING RFE/RL CONTRIBUTORS April 20, 2016 A Russia-backed prosecutor in Crimea is calling for the closure of RFE/RL's Crimea Realities website. WASHINGTON - The Broadcasting Board of Governors condemns the targeting of independent journalists in Russia-annexed Crimea following police searches on Tuesday of the homes of seven residents of the peninsula, including some who have worked as RFE/RL contributors. The Moscow-backed Crimean Prosecutor General's Office says it has launched a criminal case against one of these people, Mykola Semena, alleging that he engaged in "extremism" and agitated for "violations of Russia's territorial integrity" on the basis of his journalistic work. The prosecutor also called for the closure of RFE/RL's Crimea Realities website, http://ru.krymr.com/ one of the last remaining sources of independent news on Russia- annexed Crimea, claiming that the website seeks to discredit the Russian Federation, incites interethnic hatred and promotes extremism. "The charges being considered against Semena are baseless and are aimed only at silencing independent voices and dissent," BBG CEO and Director John Lansing said. "Threats to the free practice of journalism must neither be made nor tolerated by any government." "Journalism is not a crime," BBG Chairman Jeff Shell said. "Reporters from RFE/RL and indeed all media outlets must be allowed to do their work in Crimea without fear of intimidation or arrest." This morning, U.S. Embassy in Kyiv spokesman Jonathan Lalley said, "The United States strongly condemns the detention of journalists" in Crimea and calls for "a halt to raids on media organizations by Russian occupation authorities." He added: "These actions are further examples of the Russian government's growing crackdown on independent voices in Russia and Russia-occupied Crimea." RFE/RL's Crimea Realities website was launched in March 2014, immediately following the Russian annexation of the Crimean peninsula. The site publishes content in the Crimean Tatar, Ukrainian and Russian languages in an effort to provide all audiences affected by the annexation with informed analysis and an independent and balanced account of the peninsula's news. Upholding freedom of the press is one of the BBG's top priorities in its efforts to support accurate, objective journalism around the world. Crimea, which was annexed by Russia in 2014, is ranked "Not Free," according to Freedom House's 2015 Freedom of the Press Findings https://freedomhouse.org/report/freedom-press/2015/crimea (via Hansjoerg Biener, DXLD) ** KOREA NORTH [non].

Since Apr 1st, stopped broadcasting of the Belarusian Radio and radio station "Belarus", broadcasting on the outside, on long, medium and short waves. This is the website of the Belarusian Broadcasting Center, reports "Radio Svaboda". "In connection with the refusal of the National State TV and Radio of the Republic of Belarus RUE" Concern RRT services "and the lack of other customers, with the year 01 April 2016 stops broadcasting of sound programs" First National Channel of the Belarusian Radio "and" Radio Belarus "in the low range, medium and high frequencies. " And there is the transfer of transmitters that do not work in Kolodishchi, Osipovichi and others. A member of the technical department of the Belarusian Broadcasting Center explained: "Firstly, stopped broadcasting at long wavelengths - programs that spread on the territory of Belarus. This transmitter covers almost the entire territory of the country in the wavelength range - 279 kHz. That is, the first channel of the Belarusian radio in this range no longer be distributed on Apr 1st. In the short and medium wave broadcast, we hear it in Western Europe and Russia. They broadcast the program of the First Channel of the Belarusian Radio and foreign broadcasts - "Belarus" radio program. Medium Wave "finished off" to Africa. Propagation of the beam passed, so not all of Western Europe was covered, but only a part. England did not fall, the northern part of France, Belgium, the Scandinavian countries. And Central and Southern Europe fell. When operating at maximum power transmitters broadcasting the Belarusian came to Africa. Although we wrote one German company that we have been heard, even in North and South America. Now our customer - BTRC - renounced our services. And we were forced to turn off the transmitter. The official reason - the reduction of funding. The letter signed by the Chairman of Belteleradiocompany Gennady Davydko. Today Belarusian R, you can listen only on the FM band and VHF. But LW, MW, SW ranges in Belarus no longer used." On the question of whether to change something, whether it is possible to enable the transmitters in the future, the technical department Concern RRT officer said that in the next two years - 2016 and 2017 - will not change anything. And in general the return will not be "transmitters are turned off and on again they can not be. New transmitter of this kind, which worked, worth about $ 1 million". Chief director of "Radio Belarus", which broadcasts to foreign countries, Naum Galperovich said that this is a general trend of transition to new technologies, the Internet: "We are expanding our broadcast on the Internet in all eight languages, and now we can listen to all kinds of gadgets, working in a range of FM close to the regions, and the satellite. So we have not only narrowed and expanded broadcasting. Now it is a hybrid radio. Videos appear on our site".

This is a must watch video for SW transmitter site enthusiasts interested in the history & imagery of one of the behemoth of SW antenna arrays ever constructed. But much, so much more than that, this video is compelling viewing for anyone interested in the Chernobyl Nuclear Power plant disaster, current day politics of the Ukraine/Russia & the old Soviet politics of the day. What is captivating is the exploration of a possible link between the construction of the woodpecker site in the Ukraine & the Chernobyl disaster & the ramifications of exploring that link. I loved the way the video was crafted. It was in so many ways richly captivating as it explores many themes of Fedor's life & his search for the truth. If you watch just one video a year, make this the one you watch. Viewers in Australia can watch the video on demand at: Our other members can find out more about the video & where to watch it here: The video is produced by GraciaFILMS 2015. Well done Fedor.

(Harald Kuhl-D DL1ABJ, DXplorer April 27) UKRAINE [USSR Woodpecker OTHR on shortwave band in July 1976 - December 1989 year] I was watching a TV program on the 30th Anniversary of the Chernobyl accident which also has spent a long time talking about the Woodpecker. It is being aired on the German TV Network ARTE, and I am watching it from rural Austria. I wish that I could understand more German, but perhaps some of our German speakers have also seen this show. According to the various actors mentioned in that WDR/ARTE movie {Realites paradoxales} from Kiev Ukraine, there is also an English version of the movie distributed worldwide ... {see link given above} I wish that I could understand more German, (John Fisher, at present in Austria, April 27) The common French-German ARTE public broadcaster TV channel did bcast an exciting movie about Woodpecker and Atomic Plant disaster yesterday April 26, at 23.30 LT / CEST. http://www.arte.tv/guide/fr/061670-000-A/le-pic-vert-russe http://www.arte.tv/guide/de/061670-000-A/der-russische-specht see January 2016 item from Tchernobyl: UKRAINE [former USSR, Kiev Oblast] Film for Woodpecker Duga - 2. On the film festival "Sandens " was awarded the documentary movie of Ched Grasia, called "The Russian Woodpecker". The film is for the super Over The Horizon Radar called "Duga 2" (=Rainbow 2) located for some kilometers from Chernobyl Nuclear Station and the relation between "Duga" and Chernobyl Nuclear Disaster. The woodpecker is now in the forbidden radioactive zone there. Et si la pire catastrophe nucleaire de l'histoire n'etait pas un accident ? Un passionnant ovni documentaire. Trente ans apres, quel bilan dresser de de la plus grosse catastrophe nucleaire de tous les temps ? C'est sur cette hypothese du complot que le jeune artiste ukrainien Fedor Alexandrovitch qui, a 4 ans, a lui-meme ete evacue de la "zone interdite" lors de la catastrophe, convainc le realisateur Chad Gracia d'enqueter avec lui dans les environs de la centrale. Dans la foret deserte et contaminee, a une dizaine de kilometres, se dresse en effet une gigantesque antenne radio militaire sovietique, la Duga, piece cle d'un dispositif d'espionnage sovietique top secret. Elle emettait des ondes de basse frequence qui, entre 1976 et 1981, ont regulierement perturbe les emissions radio du globe, produisant un mysterieux bruit saccade baptise "pic-vert russe" par les Occidentaux. "L'oeil de Moscou, resume Fedor, convaincu que la Duga a joue un role dans l'accident, etait tout pres de son coeur atomique." Il part donc a la rencontre de temoins de tout poil (employes du site, ex-apparatchiks ou specialistes occidentaux du renseignement, membres de la commission d'enquete mise sur pied apres l'accident, historiens, etc.) qui, peu a peu, revelent de troublantes informations. Mais alors qu'a Kiev des rassemblements massifs defient le president prorusse Viktor Ianoukovitch, le jeune homme recoit la visite du SBU (l'heritier ukrainien du KGB), qui le somme d'interrompre ses recherches. Bericht vom Russischen Specht in Tchernobyl. Ich habe ja die Spechtsignale aus der UdSSR ganz nervtoenend zwischen 1976 und 1989 auf der Kurzwelle mitbekommen. In der Zeit gibt es einen Artikel vom "Russischen Specht" der lesenswert ist. Gestern Abend gab es auf ARTE eine Dokumentation vom "Russischen Specht", in der auch die Antennenanlage Duga 1 unweit vom Kraftwerk in Teschernobyl zu sehen ist. Dort wird die krude These vertreten, dass anscheinend die Tatsache, dass die Anlage nicht gehalten hatte, was versprochen wurde und kurz vor einer Ueberpruefung stand - der Verantwortliche haette anscheinend durch ein Telefonat dafuer gesorgt, dass der instabile Reaktor 4 zur Explosion gebracht wurde, um diesen Sachverhalt zu vertuschen - ob das stimmt soll der Leser selbst entscheiden ... siehe ARTE TV - "Doku reale Paradoxie" ... eine krude These ... ja stimme ich zu, ARTE schreibt etwas von "Realites paradoxales, le-pic-vert-russe". Andere OMs haben sich diese Handlung (ist ja kein Spielfilm) sondern eine Dokumentation mit kuenstlerischem freiheitlichen Element, sich gestern direkt bei ARTE TV oder in der Mediathek angesehen.

In this regard, the government has decided to consider this date the annual Day of the radio that was later approved, and Decree of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR from October 1, 1980 № 3018-X "On public holidays and commemorative days." And it seems that recently Russian Popov and Italian Marconi tried to convert electromagnetic waves into human speech, and less than a century ago, crystal receivers with headphones were perceived as a miracle. But today radio, television, mobile phones have become the natural attributes of our lives. (Source: http://www.calend.ru/holidays/0/0/39/) 73!
