Two radio tower height of 124 meters and two 60 meters were put into operation near the village near Grodno Ponemun December 31, 1986. It's no secret was that their main purpose - to create interference to foreign radio stations. However, the tower was used as "jammers" in Grodno long, they redirected for other purposes: the broadcast of several programs of All-Union Radio, the radio station "Mayak", All-Union and Republican broadcasting to foreign countries. Already in independent Belarus they broadcast national radio stations, and partly to the Russian FM. Operated rigs in Ponemuni until 2012, according to "The Grodno Truth". But in the era of "numbers" were unclaimed. RUE "Belarusian Broadcasting Center" was decided on the phased dismantling ponemunskih towers. Institute "Grodnogiprostroy" developed a project of dismantling of all four radio masts. - Now dismantle towers project is under examination, - says Director Nicholas Monich Institute. - In addition, the design of demolition projects of three radio towers in height from 118 to 124 meters in the Mogilev region and a fifty-meter near Baranovichi in the Brest region. When dismantling towers, demolition and dismantling of concrete foundations came in disrepair of buildings completed, vosmigektarnogo reclamation of the land will be held in Ponemuni, which will go to the city. Probably land offered to investors. (Sergey Alekseichik, Grodno-BLR, open_dx MIDXB K.

Any other primary or at least secondary sources, anyone? It appears that simply RTRS (the transmitter operator) went to Roskomnadzor (the regulation authority) and obtained the authorization for these transmissions, bypassing those people in Moscow that once had been associated with the late Anatoly Titov and still put their wishful thinking into HFCC (most of it with Radio Sputnik in mind while neither Rossiya Segodnya nor anyone else intends to spend a single Kopeka on shortwave radio anymore). Thus lots of Russian wood in HFCC but not the now real transmissions from Tulagino. (Kai Ludwig-D, dxld May 7) 7345 kHz. Re: Yakutia (Russia) on Shortwave from today. Early this morning sent a message to be posted to dxld yg, but seem it got lost, as it is now over 12 hours later, so will now mention again that while listening to Thazin Radio (Pyin Oo Lwin in Myanmar) on 7345 kHz, did in fact have QRM from UNID that I believe must have been the new Russian station on May 6. Sorry I did not note the time this morning, as most of my activity today was listening to other Asian and Pacific stations. UNID was about equal strength to Thazin.

Two radio tower height of 124 meters and two 60 meters were put into operation near the village near Grodno Ponemun December 31, 1986. It's no secret was that their main purpose - to create interference to foreign radio stations. However, the tower was used as "jammers" in Grodno long, they redirected for other purposes: the broadcast of several programs of All-Union Radio, the radio station "Mayak", All- Union and Republican broadcasting to foreign countries. Already in independent Belarus they broadcast national radio stations, and partly to the Russian FM. Operated rigs in Ponemuni until 2012, according to "Grodnenskaya Pravda". But in the "numbers" era became unclaimed. RUE "Belarusian Broadcasting Center" was decided on the phased dismantling ponemunskih towers. Institute "Grodnogiprostroy" developed a project of dismantling of all four radio masts. - Now dismantle towers project is under examination, - says Director Nicholas Monich Institute. - In addition, the design of demolition projects of three radio towers in height from 118 to 124 meters in the Mogilev region and a fifty-meter near Baranovichi in the Brest region. When dismantling towers, demolition and dismantling of concrete foundations came in disrepair of buildings completed, vosmigektarnogo reclamation of the land will be held in Ponemuni, which will go to the city.

RADIO DAY IN RUSSIA Day 7 May entered the history of world science and technology as a birthday radio. On this day in 1895 at a meeting of the Russian Physical and Chemical Society, Russian physicist Alexander Stepanovich Popov gave a presentation and demonstration of the world's first radio created by him, having carried out the first radio session. Today is a holiday of workers of all branches of communication. In 1945, on May 7 in the USSR it is widely celebrated the 50th anniversary of the invention of radio. 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.

SBS TV in Australia recently ran a 1h 17m video titled: The Russian Woodpecker. 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: http://www.sbs.com.au/ondemand/video/666212419734/the-russian-woodpecker Our other members can find out more about the video & where to watch it here: http://www.russianwoodpecker.com/ The video is produced by GraciaFILMS 2015. http://www.russianwoodpecker.com/reviews/ Well done Fedor.

For example US-TV news clips from the 1970s claiming that this transmitter is not an OTHR but a high power transmitter to turn human beings (Europeans) into zombies. What a joke. Just US xenophobics, not news as one would expect. But the tramsmitter also jammed Sowjet services, so they changed frequency, but then it would not "cross the polar region anymore due to polar lights". Not sure if a frequency change would have been the reason. The docu can still be viewed online until next Tuesday, but only within Germany and France. So use a proxy in D or F http://www.arte.tv/guide/de/061670-000-A/der-russische-specht Never have I seen an OTHR featured in a docu for that long (Jurgen Bartels Suellwarden, N. Germany ... Oh, what's this: Book a tour? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=19oB0eJED7U And here, ladies and gentleman, we're coming to an impressive RBMK reactor --- By the way, years ago I read somewhere that the Duga transmission equipment was a variant of the design called Kondor as a SWBC transmitter with 2000 kW AM carrier power, as installed at Grigoriopol and for some time indeed used at full power. Btw2, have you seen the recent report about the actual transmission facility used for the Radio Vilnius relays when they caught much attention for well-known reasons? Certainly no one abroad would have guessed back then that it was in fact a RF signal from boiling Pridnestrovye (Kai Ludwig, shortwavesites yg via DXLD) I gather you are referring to Grigoriopol - Maiac SW transmitter site as being one of the sites of the Radio Vilnius broadcasts during the USSR days. I personally have a Radio Vilnius QSL from 1981 that I was not able to identify site or power for. For the record, 12060 kHz at 2200 UT on 26/7/1981. I guess the above site is probable. I recall the frequency used either before or after for the above broadcast for a multitude of different stations; at least Radio Stantsiya Rodina was one of them from memory. For the record I can't recall knowing that 2000 kW was used from Grigoriopol - Maiac. The Ukraine yes. In fact, as mentioned in past communications re a Ukraine SW site with 2 MW there were restrictions on personnel being near the 2000kW txers when operating, as they would pass-out etc. Regards (Ian, ibid.) My thanks to Jonathan, Jan and Kai for your comments and suggestions. Although the links were not about the SBS video, they were nevertheless very interesting. What a huge waste inside the DUGA-3 buildings. I wonder if they have any plans to use those huge antennas in the future? Apparently the Woodpecker was monitored again in December 2013. Does anybody know which site was used? (Colin VE3CMT, ibid.) Hi Colin, Yes, I too pass on my thanks to Jonathan, Jan & Kai for the fascinating links. Actually when you go looking, there are plenty of interesting YouTube videos that have surfaced in the last couple of years, especially around the Duga 3 antenna site & Chernobyl site in the Pripyat area. Tours as well. It is interesting reading on the Internet the purported events leading up to the Chernobyl explosion & the people making decisions & the reluctance to challenge authority of the day, etc. The film mentioned explores a link and I agree it`s a wild conspiracy theory. Add 2 and 2 together and get 5. We all love a good conspiracy theory, we all know Hollywood likes to be creative with non fictional stories to the point that they become fictional. Additionally I'm sure there's no shortage of love lost between some Ukraine citizens and Russia in recent years. This and the fact that Fudor and the American director are from artistic professions should be weighted with their investigative skills, etc., so all these things should be put into perspective when viewing the film. That said, it's still a fascinating film to watch. Colin, I tried searching for a free version of the film online, but failed. You could make a request to the CBC (TV) there in Canada to screen the film if it hasn't already occurred (Ian (AUS), May 4, ibid.)
