Day July 29, 2002 went down in history, "Asia-Plus" in the history of independent Tajikistan. On this day, President Emomali Rahmon supported the idea of establishing in Dushanbe's first independent radio station "Asia-Plus" and ordered her to accelerate the issuance of all permits. By the time we are waiting for our radio broadcasting license for 4 years. All the necessary documents to obtain it were filed as early as August 1998, the UNESCO as a grant for a long time provided "AP" the necessary equipment, staff were recruited, training conducted, studied the experience of Alma- Ata, the FM radio stations. Everything was ready, but the matter was not addressed. Committee for Television and Radio in response to a request for "Asia-Plus" said the letter: "Tajikistan has enough radio stations, there is no need to open the new radio ..." It was nonsense, because in 1998, when we applied for, in the country it was not a single private radio station and no FM-radio. For four years, while we were waiting in the wings, in the FM-band started up state "Sadoi Dushanbe" in Khujand, opened the first private radio station "tyrosyl," but in the Tajik capital by 2002 has not yet been a single independent radio. In private conversations our friends in government agencies explained it this way: there is a fear that you will lead the people in the "wrong direction" .... The first independent radio station received a license Dushanbe August 13, 2002 and started broadcasting on 9 September. Initially, it was 18 hours of the live broadcast, broadcast gradually became round the clock. In the capital and in the surrounding areas we broadcast at a frequency of 107 FM, in 2011, began broadcasting in the Khatlon region on the same frequency, and in 2013 we went on the air in Sughd region on the frequency 104,4 FM. A year later, our radio station via the Internet already could hear anyone at any point of the earth - in Russia, Europe, America, Africa ...! news.tj A more detailed story here - http://onair.ru/main/enews/view_msg/NMID__62332/ (OnAir.ru) UKRAINE ========= According to Dnepropetrovsk colleagues: "OR-2 (Regional Radio) at a frequency of 990 kHz to 8/1/16 stops broadcasting.

"It is expected that modified Podsolnuh (Sunflower) over-the-horizon radar units will start combat duty in the Baltic Sea in 2017," Interfax's source said, adding that similar radar could be deployed in the Crimea in 2017. "It can see any warship that sails through the Bosporus Strait." The Podsolnuh radar system passed the Russian government tests in 2006. There are three stations currently on duty: one in the Sea of Okhotsk, another in the Sea of Japan and the third in the Caspian Sea. Podsolnuh allows its operators to automatically and simultaneously detect, track and classify potential threats beyond the radio horizon. It can find up to 300 offshore objects and 100 air objects, determine their coordinates and transfer them to targeting complexes and systems of armed naval vessels and air defense systems. In June, Podsolnuh's developer, RTI, told Interfax that the company plans to supply the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation with several more radars in the future. "In 2017, the Russian Defense Ministry plans to purchase several stations for the Navy that will be deployed in the Arctic, as well as at the southern and western borders of Russia," said the Director General of RTI, Sergey Boev. In March, Podsolnuh guided warships of the Caspian fleet equipped with the Caliber-NK missile complex during naval military exercises (UAWIRE Thursday, July 7, 2016 via La Rassegna stampa, Radiorama numero 58, AIR Associazione Italiana Radioascolto, Torino, Italy via RusDX 24 July via DXLD) OTH = over the horizon, which requires the use of HF = SW frequencies (Glenn Hauser via DXLD) DX LISTENING DIGEST 16-30, July 27, 2016 Incorporating REVIEW OF INTERNATIONAL BROADCASTING edited by Glenn Hauser, USA --------------------------------------------- ** ARMENIA.

A good signal here in the NW of England on 11850, peaking to 10 dB over 9 on my S meter, but with fading too.

Twente recordings, there was an extensive loss of audio on 11850 kHz between roughly 1900 and 1940 UT. Carrier still seemed to be on the air so something happened with the real-time audio link between Germany and Armenia. When the audio came back, it didn't seem to be quite as good as that before the break.

July 27 with anomaly reception; both frequencies doing very well at 1050, with usual "Radio Sakha" ID and chimes leading into series of ads; subsequent checking continued to find them both with about equal signal strength; this is a first for me, as normally only one or the other is much stronger. Received another email from "TV and Radio NVK Sakha" ([Novosti NVK Sakha] ) asking me more about my shortwave receptions of their station and indicating they want to interview me. Perhaps they think I speak Russian, as I have corresponded with them in that language. Am rather flattered that they would make this offer to me!

As reported by the Ministry of Communication and Information, October 1, 2016 Belarus will cease completely wired radio broadcasting. The process of optimization of radio broadcasting is held in Belarus for the first year. The optimization process of broadcasting, including trip wire radio, is nearing completion. According to the plan, from August 1, wire broadcasting will cease in Gomel, Vitebsk, Brest and Grodno. As for Minsk and Mogilev, there broadcasting will end on 1 October. As explained in the Ministry of Communications, trip wire broadcasting due to the expiration of the service life of equipment and networks. In addition, the wireless radio is far more economical than wired since to pay the monthly fee will not be necessary. In this case, the Ministry of Communication explains that despite the abolition of the wire broadcasting, the program will remain on the air.

Mykolaiv 1377 kHz has been closed. (RUSdx July 31) UKRAINE President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko has signed a law requiring radio stations to broadcast on the air at least 35% of Ukrainian products. It is reported by the press service of the President. The relevant law Verkhovna Rada adopted on June 16, after a long debate, and low performers votes. It provides that radio companies are obliged to provide a share of songs in the official language of not less than 35% of the total playing time for songs in a day, and in time intervals from 7.00 to 14.00, from 15.00 to 22.00. The quota is introduced gradually: in the first year after the law came into force quota should be 25%, the second year - 30%, from the third year - 35%. The right to a reduced quota of 25% of broadcasters have received, in which at least 60% of songs licensed sounds on EU languages. It is also envisaged that at least 60% of the daily volume of conducting programs (news, morning program) must be carried out in the Ukrainian language. This quota is also introduced gradually: 50% in the first year of the law, 55% - in the second year, and from the third - 60%. The law will come into force four months after publication. Recall, according to the current law "On Television and Radio", protect the interests of the national TV and radio, and the norm is guaranteed that in the total broadcast each broadcasting at least 50 percent should be the national audio-visual product or musical works of Ukrainian authors or performers. This norm is now complemented by the introduction of 35% quota for the songs in the Ukrainian language.

The signal wasn't as good as the test transmission yesterday, much more fading, less signal strength - that's shortwave. Signal strength at peaks only -45 dBm. The content --- isn't my taste. Programme seemed to me unstructured: a recording of a Spanish speaking number station (why?), some SSTV at 1925 UT. The rest was rock music that wasn't audible well because of moderate fading. My conclusion: a waste of time. I expected much more, a balanced programme of vocal and musical content.

RFE/RL DEMANDS AZERBAIJAN REOPEN BAKU BUREAU August 01, 2016 http://www.rferl.org/content/release-rferl-demands-azerbaijan-reopen-baku-bureau/27893573.html WASHINGTON - An Azerbaijani court will convene on August 3 to hear RFE/RL's appeal against tax-related claims that were used by the government as grounds to shutter the company's Baku bureau in December 2014. "The commercial court should affirm that all claims brought against us are baseless, and the prosecutor should move without delay to unfreeze our Baku bureau's bank accounts, return the company seal, stamp and documents that were confiscated in December 2014, unfreeze the personal bank accounts of our Baku staff members, and let us get on with our journalistic mission of providing independent news and information to the people of Azerbaijan," said RFE/RL President Thomas Kent. Earlier this year Azerbaijan's Supreme Court effectively threw out two claims against RFE/RL's Baku bureau when it overturned two charges against RFE/RL journalist Khadija Ismayilova, leading to her release from prison in May. Of two remaining allegations against RFE/RL, one involves the Azerbaijani government's interpretation of a bilateral tax treaty that exempts U.S. nonprofit organizations from corporate income tax. The other relates to the process of accrediting journalists, which the Azerbaijani government revised effective July 1 this year, and with which RFE/RL is in compliance. RFE/RL was forced to close its Baku bureau in May 2015, after it was raided by Azerbaijani authorities on December 26, 2014. Agents with the prosecutor's office confiscated company property, interrogated over 20 staff members without legal representation, imposed travel bans on employees, and froze company and personal bank accounts pursuant to a tax inspection on unspecified grounds. The raid came just weeks after the top advisor to Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev published a statement in the country's official media calling RFE/RL journalists spies and threats to the country's national security. Despite the closure, RFE/RL's Azerbaijani Service has continued to actively engage audiences in Azerbaijan via satellite and the Internet, attracting nearly 1.5 million visits per month to its website, and more than 20 million views on YouTube during the first six months of 2016 (via Dr Hansjoerg Biener 3 August 2016, DXLD) But only after already proposing the closure as savings of 500,000 USD for fiscal year 2017. See pages 29 and 31 at https://www.bbg.gov/wp-content/media/2011/12/FY-2017-Budget-Submission.pdf And still no further word about Turkey. They're determined to fight for press freedom. Btw, even BBG Watch makes time and again a valid point. It is of course an epic fail by the VOA newsroom to not recognize a terrorist attack as such. Although it could be interesting to take a look at the original newswire they relied on: BBG Watch Commentary The headline on the U.S. taxpayer-funded Voice of America (VOA) English News website read: "Syrian Refugee Killed in Blast in Germany, 12 Wounded" | VOA, which many could have misinterpreted as suggesting that some unfortunate refugee was perhaps a victim of a racist attack in Germany. The headline appeared on VOA's main English homepage with no further details without clicking to see the story inside, which was quite short but painted a different picture of what might have happened. . . . http://bbgwatch.com/bbgwatch/misleading-voice-of-america-terror-in-germany-headline/ (Kai Ludwig, Germany, dxldyg via DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** BELARUS.

The process of optimization of radio broadcasting is held in Belarus for the first year. The optimization process of broadcasting, including trip wire radio, is nearing completion. According to the plan, from August 1, wire broadcasting will cease in Gomel, Vitebsk, Brest and Grodno. As for Minsk and Mogilev, there broadcasting will end on 1 October. As explained in the Ministry of Communications, trip wire broadcasting due to the expiration of the service life of equipment and networks. In addition, the wireless radio is far more economical than wired since to pay the monthly fee will not be necessary. In this case, the Ministry of Communication explains that despite the abolition of the wire broadcasting, the program will remain on the air.
