Myanmar is like 7344.9965 or 7344.996 MMR Thazin Radio, Pyin U Lwin, instead. The azimuth of Yakutsk were always 45 and 310 degrees to service towards Far East / Siberia USSR / Russia. Targets are Anadyr, or Norilsk Jenissei, far northern Russia. 12 UTC end of transmission in Iakutsk = 21 hrs local time at Iakutsk. = 24 hrs local time at Anadyr Magadan.

Es wurde daran erinnert, das im Jahre 2010 im Land die KW-Ausstrahlungen eingestellt worden sind. Radiosignale werden jetzt nur ьber UKW-Sender verbreitet, wodurch nur Bewohner von Stдdten erreicht wurden. Mit der Wiedereinfьhrung von Kurzwellenradio will man in Jakutien nun auch Fischer, Jдger und Menschen auЯerhalb von Siedlungen erreichen, die ein Nomadenleben fьhren.

Google translated from the nvk link, but I don`t see anything to confirm the frequencies, which BTW are likely to collide with several other stations depending on the hours. The link programma is a 17-hour TV schedule (Glenn Hauser, ibid.) NVK-ONLINE.RU - Shortwave radio started in Yakutia. On the territory of today's 27 districts will begin broadcasting on short wave. It will cover a total area of ??2.5 million square kilometers, an area that is 78% of the territory of Yakutia. On receipt of the signal at the ceremony launching the transmitters have reported the head of the Anabar, Olenek areas. Recall that in 2010, short-wave broadcasting in the country has been suspended, and until now the signal is fed through fm transmitters and acted only in towns. But with the launch of shortwave radio Yakut are now able to listen to fishermen, hunters and people leading a nomadic life outside the settlements.

TAJIKISTAN TIGHTENS SCREWS ON MEDIA AHEAD OF REFERENDUM | Text of report by Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty website on 5 May Attacks on independent media in Tajikistan have increased markedly over recent months, prompting concern about the future of the country's few but feisty non-government outlets in a region notorious for its hostility toward a free press. Tajik authorities have stepped-up efforts to obstruct the public's access to information by blocking websites, withholding information in the public interest from journalists, harassing and publicly denouncing journalists, and launching bogus judicial proceedings with the intent of discouraging independent reporting. "The aim of the government appears to be to block all sources of information," said RFE/RL Tajik Service director Sojida Djakhfarova, whose staff and Dushanbe-based operations have been particularly hard- hit. According to Human Rights Watch, internet service providers in Tajikistan claim the government's communications ministry periodically orders them to block websites, among them Google, Facebook, and the Tajik Service's website, known locally as Radio Ozodi. The ministry denies this. Explaining why such interference has increased recently, Djakhfarova speculates that Radio Ozodi's reporting on Islamic extremism in Tajik society has touched a nerve. It is after reports on the subject are published on Ozodi's website and social media pages that they are then blocked. Other sensitive topics include stories about social and economic problems, investigative reporting on how institutions have failed average citizens, and just about anything that may cast the Tajik government in an unflattering light. "Topics like infringements on political rights, the economy, and unemployment are strictly prohibited by officials," Djakhfarova said. "If you're a journalist reporting on these issues, officials call you unpatriotic and accuse you of attempting to destabilise the government." In addition to blocking news websites, the government has attempted to tighten control over journalists themselves, intimidating them with financial pressure, threats of defamation suits, and arbitrary arrests, according to Reporters Without Borders. This harassment often includes ad-hominem attacks by pro-government media. "On several occasions officials have approached our journalists to scold them for being unpatriotic by reporting negative information and damaging the country's image," said Djakhfarova. "If you don't obey their 'friendly' advice, the usual punishment is loss of accreditation, but it is sometimes worse." Within a two week period in late April 2016, Djakhfarova says there were at least five slanderous articles published in local, pro- government media against RFE/RL journalists and Radio Ozodi. Previously, such attacks were rare. "They write that our stories are 'too influential' and endanger the stability of the country, and they falsely accuse us of working for the CIA," she said. A referendum set for May 22, 2016 could be one reason the government is targeting independent media at this time. The referendum would authorise a change in the constitution to allow President Emomali Rahmon, who has been in office since 1994, to run for re-election indefinitely. Human Rights Watch has reported that, in the run-up to the vote, journalists, opposition activists, and anyone voicing criticism in matters of state is taking a risk; according to their research, several have disappeared. Media freedom in Tajikistan has long been a function of presidential prerogative. For years, Freedom House has designated it as "not free", scoring it at 83rd out of 100, with 100 being the "least free" in its 2016 Freedom of the Press report. Access to free information is further hindered by the country's low level of internet penetration which, partly as a result of the country's poverty and remote, mountainous location, is among the lowest in the world. Despite the challenges, RFE/RL's Tajik service confounds all expectations with audience statistics that are higher than ever. In March 2016, visits to its website totalled 1.5 million, an increase of 20 per cent over the previous month. Because the website is periodically blocked, web users in the country have taken to using virtual private networks (VPNs) to privately access internet content and evade monitoring. The VPNs are especially popular on mobile phones. The service attracts another 1 million monthly views on its YouTube channel. Notwithstanding such successes, and the demands for accurate information that drive them, the future of independent media in Tajikistan is uncertain. "Anything could happen because the situation is completely unpredictable," said Djakhfarova.

La Siberia russa torna sulle onde corte! Dopo la decisione da parte delle autorità russe di smantellare in pratica l'intera infrastruttura radiofonica operante sulle onde lunghe, medie e corte nel 2011, sul territorio della Federazione russa (e su quello conteso della Transdnistria) sono rimasti pochissimi impianti ancora attivi. A parte i 1413 di Grigoriopol non è certo lo status di due o tre frequenze in onde medie utilizzate su scala locale e segnalate fino a poco tempo fa. Mentre in onde corte l'unica presenza certa era quella diAdygeyskoye Radio, emittente locale caucasica, che utilizza per il suo "servizio internazionale" in lingue come il circasso, la frequenza di 6000 kHz, nella prima serata di lunedì, venerdì e domenica. Ecco come arrivava ieri alle otto di sera, a Milano. Da pochi giorni è tornata sulle onde corte anche la Yakuzia, la repubblica siberiana di Sakha, che aveva annunciato l'intenzione di riottenere una licenza in onde corte per favorire l'ascolto di Radio Sakha su un territorio che vede poco meno di un milione di abitanti sparsi in qualcosa come 2 milioni di chilometri quadrati, pieno di cacciatori, pescatori e persone in movimento (diciamolo, solo un ammnistratore cretino può pensare di rinunciare alle onde corte per offrire servizi radiofonici in geografie del genere). La notizia dei progetti di riattivazione risale all'inizio dell'anno ma la stazione, NVK, ha mantenuto le promesse e ha iniziato a trasmettere proprio all'inizio di maggio. Ci sono ancora incertezze sugli orari del servizio, ma una segnalazione giunta proprio adesso dalla California conferma che Radio Sakha è attiva su 7295 e 7345 kHz, due frequenze non certo libere da interferenze. Poter ascoltare da una spiaggia nei dintorni di San Francisco aiuta. Ecco il fantastico clip appena diffuso da Ron Howard, leggendario beach DXer sul Pacifico. Quali sono le possibilità di ascoltare qui in Italia Radio Sakha? Probabilmente con l'oscurità, soprattutto in autunno e inverno, le chance ci sono, dopotutto stiamo parlando di impianti da 100 e 250 kW dichiarati, ma 7345 è molto utilizzato dalla Cina, tanto per cambiare.

Russia ---------------------------- RUSSIA On June 1, another 36 localities of the Altai Territory "Radio Russii" will begin broadcasting in the FM-band.
