And while Guy Ritchie film about spies in the present, we will talk about the legacy of the past - the mysterious numbers station, which are widely known only to a narrow circle of amateur radio operators. This caste lovers dying hobby, a very popular before the turn of the century, and discovers the mysterious shortwave numbers station on the air today. At a certain time these spy channels are silent, however, at the appointed hour for someone, they play a certain melody, wheezing Morse code or metallic voice dictating the numbers or slova.Udivitelno, but in the coming era of prosperity of mobile gadgets and ubiquitous Internet, shortwave transmitters were like and remained cheap, affordable, and most importantly completely anonymous means of communication. Location is extremely difficult to determine, the codes are always applied, in addition, have yet to catch transmission moment: some months may remain silent and go on the air only 20 minutes late at night. The fact that the numbers station is really a weapon of spies and intelligence of many countries, not tricks radiohuliganov, says a lot. Firstly, these stations broadcast almost the entire world, that is, they are not ordinary household "priborchiki" and powerful radio, obviously designed with the most advanced technologies. Secondly, stability: some stations for many years, and they are broadcast with a certain frequency. Thirdly, especially ardent conspiracy theorists, listen to them day and night, catching snatches of "official" phrases, other information, as well as taped by location. Expeditions to, as a rule, do not give - often spiked with conspiracy in the military part of the fence, at least - in a remote wasteland with the radio tower with no signs of life around. If you decide to hear the sounds of the radio spyware, and already spotted on the balcony of an old radio, it will help you navigate the scheme, developed by a group ENIGMA 2000 - those same enthusiasts, conspiracy theorists: First, the transfer can play melody (optional), then by letter - language code transmission (the E - English; G - German; S - Slavic languages group, the V-Asian or other, M Morse code, X "noise" sounds of different frequencies) , the number of the group, then the name (optional). The number of groups united by some radio stations, apparently they work in the same "organization" .Poslushat can: UVB-76 (S28) - the most famous Russian numbers station has call MDZHB (Michael-Dmitri Zhenya, Boris), located somewhere near Pskov. Until 2010, she worked regularly, but now reports encryption almost every day. The Pip (S30) - Russian-speaking Noise Maker, reports and letters tsiferki sometimes dictates the weather forecast for tomorrow. Esters are not stable. Russian Man (S06) - dictates encrypt voice Levitan Lincolnshire Poacher (E03) - station of MI6, in the beginning of the program played a few bars of a song of the same name, after 2008 ceased broadcasting, although it may just be it's too tricky schedule and no one can catch it. Swedish Rhapsody (G02) - at the beginning of transmission was playing "Swedish Rhapsody", known for its sinister female voice. Listen to all this beauty and to feel true-spy can be like using receivers (especially old gramophones), and via the Internet by going to the site Wide-band WebSDR. Moreover, the station will not even need to look, fumbling slider - it is all signed and distributed code names, so choose "green" range - and welcome to the unknown. There is a Russian-language site dedicated numbers station Priyom.org - everything is veiled atmosphere of mystery and elitism, but all the information is in the public domain. Also it is known, and the above-mentioned group ENIGMA 2000, however, they position themselves as a 100% closed community. ( "VKontakte" group. International radioveschanie-!)

-------------------------------------------- ** ARMENIA. 17695, SM Radio International - Gavar. Unfortunately, the 1200 service to Australia on this frequency was a poor signal. I also tried via Mark Fahey's remote SDR outside Sydney and it was about the same signal strength there, too. At this time when the smoothed sunspot numbers are getting quite low, reception on 17 mHz can be notoriously unreliable - one day good, next day poor, even on our summer evenings. I think they may have struck a bad day. 15 mHz MAY have been slightly better. Or perhaps use a transmitter site in Asia. Pity it couldn't be heard well because the program sounded quite entertaining, Dec 25. Best wishes for 2017.

FORMER CLANDESTINE STATION RADIO NADEZHDA Former Estonian DXer Andres Aule sent me a particularly interesting contribution to Interval Signals Online in the form of audio clips of a clandestine station which was thought to operate from a Soviet military base in Tallinn, in the politically turbulent 1900/1991 period. Andres writes: ""Radio Nadezhda was a clandestine (or semi-clandestine) station that operated [broadcasting in Russian] from Estonia in 1990 and 1991. Estonia was then formally still a part of the USSR but already striving for independence. The station was operated by the so-called Intermovement or Interfront --- you can read more about it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intermovement --- a predominantly Russian pro-Moscow organization that was directed against the independence movement in Estonia (including the independence-minded Estonian authorities). The station had its building in Tallinn (I was there to interview the editor - cannot remember the address though but it seemed like a military facility). The Intermovement may have had some kind of permission to operate the radio station, issued from the central government in Moscow, but from the viewpoint of the Estonian government, the station was clandestine. However, the law was not clear in those times." Andres went on to explain the content of the clips [I've adjusted his timings to reflect my merging and editing]: "0:33: The lady asks people to support the Intermovement and the radio station financially. She also offers radio advertising services and provides a contact telephone number in Tallinn. 1:28: Programme-end announcement, times and frequencies: On 25 metres short wave: 06.30-08.00 18.30-20.00 On 401.6 metres [747 kHz] medium wave 06.30-08.00 12.30-14.00 18.30-20.00 All times are local (which was then UTC +3 in winter and UTC +4 in summer). 2:04: Signoff interval signal." A station using the same name later popped up in Moscow, its first World Radio TV Handbook appearance being in the 1993 edition. The entry listed several mediumwave frequencies and unspecified shortwave frequencies for various locations in Russia, and stated: "The station's purpose is to serve as a mouthpiece for women's public organisations". So an apparent change of agenda from the Estonian station of the same name, although both stations used the same interval signal with slightly different musical arrangement! Many thanks to Andres for providing (and explaining) the clips from such historical time! You can hear the merged 1991 clip on the Estonia page of Interval Signals Online at www.intervalsignals.net, and the clip of the apparently reincarnated Radio Nadezhda on the Russia - Vintage Clips page (the site also has a Search facility). (David Kernick, Jan 4, Interval Signals Online, dxldyg via DX LISTENING DIGEST) Nadezhda means hope --- (Glenn Hauser, DX LISTENING DIGEST) Interestingly, google returns a single search result for Andre Aule as a DXer: Andres of DX-Kuuntelija, whatever that means, is credited as the author of Radio Nadezhda related article in ADDX Kurrier, edition 21 of November 1st, 1991... http://www.addx.de/textarchiv/inhalt-radiokurier-1991.php Many mentions of him as a musician, but not too active either (given his band's discography)... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zl1rLU0cJPw (Leo Barmaleo, Moldova, ibid>0 DX-Kuuntelija (DX-Listener) was a magazine of Finnish DX Association. Still alive, nowadays called "Radiomaailma" (Radioworld). In 1991 Andres wrote an article about Radio Nadezhda to this magazine. Radio Nadezhda offices were located at Sole Street (Sole 64-5), Tallinn. Transmitters were owned and operated by Soviet Army and located at army base near Keila, some 25 km SW of Tallinn. Transmitters were installed on the trucks, the 747 kHz "Burya" transmitter was rated 20 kW and shortwave 12055 kHz was 250 Watts. Future plan was a 2,5 kW transmitter at Kohtla-Järve, also on 747 kHz and a foreign service on shortwave. Nadezhda TV was operating on ch. 40 from Tondi Army Complex, Tallinn. 73, (Jari Savolainen, Kuusankoski, Finland, ibid.) Ironically, in Moldova, albeit it lost quite a noticeable part of its territory because of those interethnic conflicts with the 'titular' nation striving for 'independence' from the Soviet/Russian 'oppression', Tiraspol-deployed ex-Soviet (read - Russian) army got an approval from the legal Moldovan government to operate a radio and a TV station in Tiraspol. This is the text I posted over a year ago (in Russian): http://forums.frocus.biz/index.php?showtopic=2688&view=findpost&p=169538 It happened much later though (namely, in 1994) under different circumstances but some parallels are still there. Noteworthy - their signal on 73.43 MHz was receivable in Chisinau (the capital of then- sovereign Moldavia, we even got it QSL-ed back then. I believe this station must have been mentioned in WRTH, too (Leo Barmaleo, Moldova, ibid.) Yes, I can see it mentioned in WRTH 1996 and 1997 under Moldova/Pridnestrovye as a 14th Army station on 73.43 MHz with 100 Watts. 73, (Jari Savolainen, Finland, ibid.) ** INTERNATIONAL.

INTERNATIONAL TV CHANNEL "UKRAINE TODAY" CLOSING DOWN http://uatoday.tv/society/ukraine-today-has-to-say-goodbye-854168.html Ukraine - Ukraine Today has to say goodbye! 1+1 Media Group shuts down the project on January 1, 2017 Ukraine Today - international news project set up by commercial broadcaster 1+1 Media Group - is forced to cease its operations. The project began in August 2014. Ukraine Today's main purpose was to counter information war waged on Ukraine by Russian propaganda media outlets following Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The launch of Ukraine Today served more of a social purpose rather than business interests. At the time of our launch, there was no public equivalent which could provide the same function. Last year, Ukraine's public service broadcaster launched its own international TV channel. Ukraine Today is confident that our project has fulfilled its mission. "We all understand that our company as well as the whole country is going through difficult times. Today, we cannot afford to have a project without a clearly defined business component," said Alexander Tkachenko, CEO of 1+1 media group. Tkachenko expressed his gratitude to the whole Ukraine Today team, including its head Tetyana Pushnova, for their contribution not only to the project, but also to the information security of the country. Ukraine Today's editorial team will inform you on the latest developments in Ukraine and Eastern Europe until December 30. Thank you for watching and reading us!

Arkhangelsk. -------------------------------------------------- --- 20 years ago in Astrakhan began broadcasting "Ruskoe radio" From idea to give Astrakhan radio, which would quickly gaining popularity in the former Soviet Union prior to its implementation was very little time. - It all happened quickly, and even more casually. Quickly find contacts in the capital, ordered and purchased the equipment, experts have found and agreed to broadcast from Astrakhan ORTPTS. First studio "Ruskoe radio" in Astrakhan collected a real American. He worked heroically, and then came to the feast in the Russian tradition. As a result, the next day, a US citizen working for obvious reasons could not. Instead gave "pass" specialist, which were loaded on a plane and sent home, the studio completed the installation of the technical director, who still retains an unprecedented fidelity radio and work here now. Then, 20 years ago, the studio is located in a small room of the local television and radio on the street. Lyakhov. Modest start does not bother anyone, and on December 26 at the 102.2 FM wave sounded the slogan "Ruskoe Radio", "All will be well." Most radio stations broadcasting in FM-band, in Astrakhan waiting motorists. The fact that they did not catch receivers stations operating in a different band. Several years later, the studio changed its location and settled on the second floor Editorial television and radio housing. Only 7 years ago, "Ruskoe radio" there was his house, where DJs and Astrakhan today say: "All is well!" And in another way. And let 20 years - it is not 100 or even 50. But two decades of broadcasting we have much to be proud of. It aired almost 29 thousand news items, 15 thousand "Such demands," received about 50 thousand calls from listeners. Today, "Ruskoe radio" Astrakhan is a part of broadcasting holdings, "the FM Astrakhan", where in addition to the beloved and popular radio stations broadcast daily 7 more stations. After 20 years, we can say with confidence: "Everything was good! And it will be even better! ".

If we compare the age of the radio to the same person's age, we can say that this is still a very young man, who has already been considerable, but so much more to come! .... (OnAir.ru / http://onair.ru/main/enews/view_msg/NMID__64116/) Mass media =========== * Why the big radio stations do not broadcast in some cities? -------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------- First of all, the limited frequency resource. Thus, according to official sources, in large cities such as Saratov and Nizhny Novgorod frequencies for broadcasting over. In Moscow, for example, to start a year ago, Radio Kniga, even had to push the adjacent station. Further tenders for the right to broadcast. It is known that in cities with populations over 100 thousand people frequency allocated on a competitive basis. And, accordingly, the larger the city, the more expensive part in the competition. In addition, often conducted, and additional contests to expand the broadcast area, then there is also the additional expenses for the winner, and some broadcasters are unable to draw such. Someone simply impractical from an economic point of view, to broadcast in different regions, and they ignore the competitions. Further, the question of competition. The larger the city, the more broadcasters want to get the right to broadcast. That is, it turns a situation in which 10 contenders conditional and only one winner. For example, in St. Petersburg last frequency for the contest (not part of a single theme pool) exhibited more than 5 years ago. Only 5 pieces, if memory serves. Of the major players NRJ became winners, Radio Dacha and Ruskoe Radio (this was before the RTR received the right to frequencies in the regional and district centers without competition), but, for example, the same silver rain flew despite just 5 applications. Returning to the first point, certainly new frequencies in St. Petersburg and the right to fight for them, there will be more soon. Some large companies received more cunning: first, they win a single themed pool at one station and then reissued the license for some other mine. Thus, Gazprom-Media, winning in 2008 the pool of frequencies for Radio Alla (which later became Radio Romance), some cities have changed it on NRJ or Humor FM, and EMG in a year after the Olympics have become massively replaced in large cities Sport FM on the Road Radio , Retro FM and Radio 7, respectively. There remain two options. The first - is broadcast through regional partners. And many of the major players that willingly use. There are even large regional companies. But here again there are problems. Regional broadcaster may unexpectedly change the affiliate station, if it finds a new format is more attractive and profitable. Some, on the contrary, essentially only broadcast their own, abandoning the partners. For example, the frequency of Radio Mayak lost in Saratov as a local broadcaster switched to Taxi FM, and greater frequency, as we know, is not there. The second option - to buy frequency. But for obvious reasons, and it is harder and more expensive than to participate in the contest on the general grounds. Radio frequency in Moscow, for example, in 2015 was estimated about 8.10 million. In regions such prices are not, of course, but still. In recent years, it is extremely rare for the expansion of broadcasting zones in this way. In 2010, the year before the purchase of the holding company EMG station in Moscow was so broke Road Radio. From relatively recently, I can remember only a new radio, whose owners bought the former partner network Beacon frequencies, as well as individual frequencies in Yekaterinburg, Volgograd and Stavropol (Iavan Polyarush / https://thequestion.ru/questions/202079/pochemu-bolshie-radiostancii-ne-veshayut-v-nekotorykh- gorodakh?utm_campaign=editorial&utm_source=vk&utm_medium=social) (Via "VKontakte" Group Distant eXperience https://vk.com/dxing) * Radioholding "European media group." -------------------------------------------------- ---------- Radioholding "European media group" refused to develop their own Internet portal Chameleon, which lets you listen to radio stations holding esters. This was reported by the press service of EMG. The guide radioholding recognize that his concept of "no fire". "" European Media Group "has decided to terminate the operation of the multimedia portal Chameleon from 1 January 2017", - the press service of EMG. "The project involves the development of both Chameleon umbrella brand uniting in the digital environment and all the radio stations group in the long term replacement of each brand. This strategy did not fire: our brands are so strong that they drive under the overall umbrella is not possible, without prejudice to each of them, "- said General Director of EMG Roman Emelyanov, whose words are transferred in the message of the press service of the holding. The priority for the EMG will develop their own websites for each radio station. "We will keep some Chameleon project developments, in particular the overall player for all stations, as well as continue online radio " Keks FM " in the "Dorozhnoe Radio" website and "Svezhee Radio" on site "Europe Plus" - summed up Emelyanov. "European Media Group" - one of the largest Russian broadcasting holdings, which is composed of the radio station "Europe Plus", "Retro FM," "Dorozhnoe Radio", "Radio 7 na semi kholmakh", "Sport FM," "Novoe radio". Broadcasting stations in the EMG, covers more than 2 thousand. Cities and towns of Russia, CIS and Baltic countries. The launch of the project Chameleon was announced just over a year ago - in October 2015. But then, in the middle of 2016, have been replaced radioholding controlling shareholder. Co-owner of the Ural Mining and Metallurgical Company (UMMC) Andrey Bokarev and its top managers Andrew and Igor Kozitsin Kudryashkin acquired 74.55% stake in the holding company. "VTS media holding", which is the sole owner of the company, has retained a minority stake. Shortly thereafter, the incumbent president Catherine Tikhomirov left post as the new head of the holding became a Roman Emelyanov.
