At the beginning of the test broadcast in 2016, the signal propagation zone covered a radius of 40 km around Riga. Now it has increased to 60 kilometers. Expansion of the coverage area was made possible by increasing the transmitter power used for test digital broadcasting from 0.5 to 1.5 kilowatts. In parallel, the number of radio programs broadcast in the DAB + standard was increased from 6 to 11. Five new programs added to the DAB + package were previously available only on the Internet. The Latvian State TV and Radio Broadcasting Center (LVRTC) asked the residents of Riga and the surrounding area to inform about the quality of the signal reception in this or that part of the broadcasting zone - this can be done through a special section on the organization's website. The LVRTC also reports that simultaneously with the tests, the cost and possible requirements necessary for creating a digital broadcasting infrastructure throughout Latvia are being studied.

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.

RADIO ON THE FRONT LINES IN UKRAINE February 13, 2017 donbas realities http://pressroom.rferl.org/a/28307044.html Donbas Realities FM broadcasts are a crucial source of reliable news and information in war-torn eastern Ukraine, and proof of the enduring power of radio. RFE/RL's Ukrainian Service recently celebrated the one-year anniversary of Donbas Realities, a one-hour live FM radio broadcast airing weekdays to more than 15 cities in the Donbas region of eastern Ukraine, including the occupied cities Donetsk and Luhansk. Although the Ukrainian Service also reaches audiences in the troubled east under Ukrainian government control via web, television, and social media, the radio has repeatedly proved a powerful platform that listeners turn to for reliable information in times of crisis. Since the outbreak of fighting with Russia-backed separatists in eastern Ukraine in 2014, residents in occupied territories have been effectively cut off from most international media on TV and radio, and websites that don't support the separatist line are periodically blocked. The signal carrying Donbas Realities is also sometimes blocked, but the program's producer Tetiana Iakubovych says listeners who rely on the show are in constant touch with her staff in Kyiv, a demonstration of the more personal connection listeners have to radio. "In separatist held cities sometimes there is a signal and sometimes not," said Iakubovych. "But listeners call in and tell us 'Gorlovka hears you! Donetsk hears you!'" Broadcasting in both Russian and Ukrainian, Donbas Realities covers local and international news stories that are either ignored or misrepresented by pro-Kremlin media targeting audiences in the region. Recent programs have focused on transportation and infrastructure problems caused by the fighting, difficulties accessing medical care and education, and the recent flare-up in fighting in the city of Avdiyivka. "The U.S. election was also a huge story for us because our listeners know that the outcome has an impact on the course of the war," said Iakubovych. Donbas Realities also holds regular live shows from eastern cities featuring panels of local people discussing their lives and the hardships they face living on the front lines. These shows were also especially popular with listeners in western Ukraine, who Iakubovych says are curious about how people live in the parts of their country affected by the war, but who have little opportunity to hear from them. Newsgathering in a war zone presents its own challenges. According to Freedom House, open warfare in the east has made Ukraine "one of the most dangerous working environments for the media." Donbas Realities has reporters working in both the occupied and government controlled areas, with correspondents in the occupied territories contributing anonymously and observing very strict security protocols. With divisions running deep, Iakubovych says the most important thing is that Donbas Realities is a reliable source of news and information for both Russian and Ukrainian speakers. "Our motto is 'Without Dividing Lines,'" said Iakubovych. "And we dissolve those dividing lines by applying RFE/RL's rigorous standards of accuracy to ensure our credibility." --Emily Thompson (via Volodya Salminiw, BC, dxldyg via DXLD) ** UZBEKISTAN. 15755, Feb 19 at 1407, S Asian song at S4-S6 with heavy flutter.

I got this here historical information (dated the beginning of 1957): "Recently, in the territory of Chisinau and the Moldovan SSR periodically hear the work Romania West Station Free{US stn Radio Free Europe in Romanian}, a leading anti-Soviet transfer of Romanian and Hebrew. The radio operates sessions for 1-2 hours in intervals from 00 to 08 hours on the waves in the range of 50-60 m. In the territory of the Moldavian SSR, where many citizens are aware of the Romanian and Hebrew, the above station audible, nobody drowned out." And I swear that before I came across something on the internet about this RFE radio / station "Romania Libera". And the funny thing is that in the years V.O.V. there was anti-fascist radio (Comintern project) with the same name. But after the WW II war, some reactionary Romanian emigrants Revanchists created their r/st "Romania Libera", which, as I remember from somewhere reading (re-find stuff does not work), broadcast from Greece. It is clear that those troubled times, hardly anyone of us could catch :), but maybe someone knows / heard anything about this subversive radio voices... Such ancient WRTH at hand is not, but, in truth, little hard to believe that there might appear that radio / station.

A zone of confident coverage is a city and a territory within a radius of 40 kilometers. (Http://www.mirtv33.ru/2017/03/radio-energy-teper-vo-vladimire/) One of the first radio stations of modern Russia celebrated its 25th anniversary on March 1. The history of Yekaterinburg Radio SI began in the 1990s, when the president of the Sverdlovsk Rock Club, Nikolai Alexandrovich Grahov, created a successful model of the radio station, which has been one of the leaders of the radio market for a quarter of a century. "Radio SI came about when commercial, private radio stations of various types and formats began to appear along with state broadcasting. Yekaterinburg became the second city of Russia, where commerce appeared! The musical music radio - the capital has outstripped us literally for a couple of months, "the radio reported. Today, more than 50 non-governmental radio stations broadcast in Moscow. In Yekaterinburg, they work 37. By their number, the capital of the Urals is in third place, behind the capital and St. Petersburg. (Http://www.itsmycity.ru/ekbdaily/6000/4927) "Hello, says Orenburg on the wave of 640 meters. We do a trial work "- March 2, 1927 in the late evening in our city the radio began to sound. After the message - the sound of a frustrated piano, which did not have time to adjust. After the music, the head of the station Tsirilinsky asked listeners to send feedback on hearing ... And now, 90 years later, 58 radio channels from "Sport FM" to "Echo of Moscow" are registered in our region. Wired receivers have also been preserved, from which Radio Rossii is broadcast, and you can choose the right wave from a mobile phone. It's hard to imagine a trip in a car without background music or the leader's fervent voice, but almost a century ago the radio was a wonder: dozens of people, dying, met at radio stations to hear - just hear a voice. Miracles! The history of Orenburg radio broadcasting began before the spring of 1927: the first mention of the construction of a "broadcasting station" dates back to 1925. The work was supervised by a visiting expert Belov. After the installation of the station, the equipment of the broadcasting station followed, which allowed to sound the central radio in our province. The first radio-loud speaker was installed in the Colony Deevka of the Ural Volost - it aroused great interest among local peasants who came to listen to the radio for 15-20 kilometers and enjoying the sound until the early morning. This was written by the newspaper Smychka. The peasants willingly recorded in the "Society of Friends of the Radio." And from the first days of June, there were mass regular listening to programs from Moscow. Lenin called the new means of transmitting information "a newspaper without paper and distance", having determined the purpose of the radio - to be an "audioversion" of printed publications. In Orenburg, for example, they read Smychku and Selo i stantsiyu. Also in the local program there were reports and lectures of provincial courts, trade unions, committees. Thus, on March 19, 1927, students were asked to learn about the national liberation struggle in China. On April 20, the airwaves were filled with a speech on the "Code on Marriage, Family, Custody", and on April 24 "comrades" were told about Easter. And after reading the newspapers and speeches on acute topics, concerts were heard. Radio was forming. The performances, interviews, information and analytical programs, music - radio developed steadily, became independent, not tied to newspapers, which predicted death after the broadcast. With the advent of television, the truth was buried and the radio, as now, in the age of Internet technology, say goodbye to television. But all types of media are still alive, while kiosks are wondering whether a new "Orenburzhye" has arrived, the morning "Vesti" accompanies us to work, and the hand reaches out to the receiver to turn on the "Mayak".

The Belgorod Soviet of Workers 'and Soldiers' Deputies started its own newspaper without a material base and trained personnel. Which, indisputably, influenced the newspaper's possibilities and its development. And forced to go to different tricks to at least somehow replenish the editorial treasury. In a cash-strapped 1924 edition (then the newspaper "Labor Day") invited Belgorod residents to concerts that were broadcast on a rare radio set. The fee for a five-minute use of the auditory tube in the editorial office is 20 kopecks. The programs, including children's, went by the hour. Therefore, for the full version of the program, the radio listener had to pay more rubles. With this money in the market, you could buy 15 eggs, or three chicken carcasses, or almost one and a half poods of potatoes (1 pood - 16.38 kg). But the demand for auditions, apparently, was. Because those who wished were asked to sign up for broadcast sessions in advance. The program of radio programs and their duration were printed in advance.

In particular, according to him, we are talking about the Crimean-Tatar radio "Vatan sedas" ("Voice of the Motherland"). The radio station earned in February this year. Earlier on the peninsula, a private Crimean-Tatar television channel ATR and the radio station "Meydan" operated, which stopped broadcasting, as they did not undergo re-registration under Russian law. "Additional transmitters are installed in Dzhankoy, what a call! It will broadcast the signal to the border areas of the Kherson region of Ukraine, where Crimean Tatars also live in compact form. The voice of the Crimea will now sound for residents of the south of the Kherson region, which will allow our compatriots not to distance themselves from the cultural and socio-political life of the Republic, "Balbek said. At the same time, the deputy stressed that coverage of the Kherson region will be increased after installing another transmitter in Krasnoperekopsk. According to him, "Vatan sedas" also expands broadcasting in the territory to! The Crimean peninsula. "By the end of June, the radio will cover 60% of the population of the peninsula, which is almost six times more than before the radio station Meydan," Balbek said. (Http://crimea.ria.ru/society/20170302/1109333141.html) The National Council for Television and Radio Broadcasting of Ukraine (National Council) refused to renew the license for broadcasting of Radio Vesti, accusing the company of being "non-state". "They unanimously voted against the continuation of the validity of the" Vesti Radio "license in Kiev," member of the council Sergei Kostinsky wrote on his Facebook page. Previously, Ukrainian media reported that Radio Vesti, which broadcasts in Kiev, the Dnieper (formerly Dnepropetrovsk) and Kharkov, has already received four warnings about "non-state position! And "radio stations. So, on April 29, 2016, the National Council appointed an unscheduled inspection of the metropolitan editorial office of Radio Vesti because of an interview with former Prime Minister of Ukraine Mykola Azarov. Then the regulator saw in the activities of the radio signs of separatism and incitement of ethnic strife. Moreover, on July 6, 2016, editor-in-chief Irina Gavrilova was dismissed for "separatist" statements, who did not work for three days, and in January 2015 the National Council checked Radio Vesti because of an interview with ex-deputy head of administration !! Resident Andrei Portnov. (Http://tass.ru/mezhdunarodnaya-panorama/4068701) You want to broadcast in the Ukrainian air - stick to the language quotas, or else you will be fined, or even will be removed a license. The punishment was the Odessa radio company "Glas", which gave the programs in the state language 30.9% of the air per day, and at least 50% is needed. Thus, Glas violated the law in part about quotas. In this regard, the National Television and Radio Broadcasting Council imposed a fine of 5% of the license fee or 40 thousand UAH on the Voice.

Grahov, includes nine radio stations in the Ural capital and more than 30 throughout the country.

This was reported to RNS by the editor-in-chief and shareholder of Ekho Moskvy, Alexei Venediktov, according to which the minority shareholders of Echo prepared a program for restructuring the ownership structure and already sent it to Roskomnadzor. American co-owners see this as a partial expropriation of their property, Venediktov stressed. The largest shareholder of Ekho Moskvy is Gazprom-Media with a share of 66%. The remaining shares are distributed among the minority shareholders of the radio station. "In fact, EM Holdings had 19.92% in the founder, and now it will be 19.92% in the company that owns 34% in the founder of Ekho Moskvy. That is, 19.92% of all Ekho Moskvy shares, and as a result of reorganization will be 19.92% of 34% of shares in the founder of the radio station. That is, their possession, as I believe, is reduced threefold. And this happens not through buying and selling, but by exchanging shares of other enterprises of participants in this transaction. What do they get in return? And this is not important, it does not concern the "Echo of Moscow", "he said, stressing that as a result of the restructuring, American co-owners cease to be founders of the" Echo of Moscow ". Earlier, Roskomnadzor sent a letter to the director general of Ekho Moskvy, Ekaterina Pavlova, warning of a possible closure of the radio station on February 15, if Ekho Moskvy does not eliminate violations of the law on foreign ownership.
