Site "Daljniy radiopriem" ("Far radio reception") For 4 years I led this site, almost weekly published radio news. I know that some of my site helped to set foot on the road to the fascinating world of long-distance radio reception! But, analyzing my posts on the site, I began to notice that gradually my potential for content of the site began to fade. Attendance of the site hardly exceeds 100 people per day. I began to wonder - "Do I need a separate site about a distant radio reception in such a format as I do? Personally, I myself a little distance from the DX-ing -family problems, difficulties at work. Therefore, the maintenance of the site on this topic becomes impractical. But just "quietly" stop maintaining the site without warning, I also can not. Therefore, I decided to tell everyone about this, right here, on the pages of the site. Thank you, all my visitors! Thanks to all who have been with me all these years! In conclusion, I want to say that everyone who has any questions can contact me by e-mail pashadx @ mail.ru I'm almost always online in VKontakte - Pavel Domnin, Krasnoyarsk I'll try to periodically share something interesting in open_dx and deneb-radio-dx Therefore, I do not say goodbye!

Superb reception of the new BBC Korean service via transmitters in Tamsui-Taiwan. If there is any jamming, it's not obvious. Mentions of BBC Korea at 1534 UT. Oops, I shouldn't have spoken too soon. At 1535 UT, a jammer was heard (raspy tone), but this lasted for only 30 seconds before going off again. Technical issues with the North Korean jammers? Back again at 1536:20 UT perhaps to stay. Parallel 5810 kHz via Tashkent Uzbekistan also heard, but mostly covered by OTH radar spanning about 125 kHz between 5736 and 5862 kHz. When it drops, occasionally, the signal from Tashkent is quite strong, but jammed as well. Radar virtually never goes off, though. What a pest! 5810 kHz, at 1522- UT, BBC Tashkent Uzbekistan, Oct 7. Tuned into 5810 kHz to hear the transmitter come on at 1522 UT, and much stronger today compared to yesterday, and should overcome the OTH radar noise. OC until 1525:30 UT, when brief IDs in English began. Not hearing the same on 9940 kHz, just a giant OC. 'Details of all our services are at BBC World Service.com'. Korean came on at 1529:40 UT. Overall, except for the unintentional interference, it would have been very decent reception, and still is, despite the OTH radar. 5810, 1529-, BBC Korean via Tashkent Uzbekistan, Oct 8. The OTH radar has taken a day off from their interfering with BBC Korean relayed from Uzbekistan, but unfortunately the engineers at the site have as well. Nice strong OC, but no BBC until 1531:30 UT. In addition a rapid pulse jammer is also present. Interesting that the Taipei frequency of 9940 kHz should be blasting in, but it's about equal strength to Tashkent, and a louder buzzing jammer cochannel.

RUSSIA'S FAVORED OUTLET IS AN ONLINE NEWS GIANT. YouTube Helped. Robert Kyncl, left, a YouTube executive, helped RT celebrate reaching one billion views on the video service in 2013. [caption] By DAISUKE WAKABAYASHI and NICHOLAS CONFESSORE October 23, 2017 https://mobile.nytimes.com/2017/10/23/technology/youtube-russia-rt.html SAN FRANCISCO -- When the state-backed Russian news channel RT became the first news organization to surpass one billion views on YouTube in 2013, it marked the achievement with a retrospective of its most popular videos and a special guest -- one of the Google-owned site's senior executives. Robert Kyncl, a YouTube vice president who has since become its chief business officer, joined an RT anchor in a studio, where he praised RT for bonding with viewers by providing "authentic" content instead of "agendas or propaganda." But now, as investigators in Washington examine the scope and reach of Russian interference in United States politics, the once-cozy relationship between RT and YouTube is drawing closer scrutiny. YouTube -- the world's most-visited video site, owned by one of the most powerful and influential corporations in America -- played a crucial role in helping build and expand RT, an organization that the American intelligence community has described as the Kremlin's "principal international propaganda outlet" and a key player in Russia's information warfare operations around the world. While Kremlin-aligned agents secretly built fake Facebook groups to foment political division and deployed hordes of Twitter bots to stoke criticism of Hillary Clinton, RT worked out in the open, bolstered by one of the largest online audiences of any news organization in the world and a prominent presence on YouTube's search results. As the presidential election heated up in the spring of 2016, RT consistently featured negative stories about Mrs. Clinton, according to United States intelligence officials. That included claims of corruption at her family foundation and ties to Islamic extremism, frequent coverage of emails stolen by Russian operatives from Mrs. Clinton's campaign chairman, and accusations that she was in poor physical and mental health. [Video: US media accused of burying concerns over Clinton health Watch on YouTube.] Video by RT "More than half of American adults say they watch YouTube, and younger viewers are moving to YouTube at staggering numbers," said Senator Mark Warner, Democrat of Virginia and vice chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, which is investigating Russia's exploitation of social media platforms based in the United States. "YouTube is a target-rich environment for any disinformation campaign -- Russian or otherwise -- that represents a long-term, next-generation challenge." Much like the Russian-controlled pages on Facebook, RT's YouTube videos comply with YouTube's community guidelines, which cover things like nudity, copyright violations and promoting violence against a group based on race or religion. But not propaganda. YouTube carries "a wide variety of news channels" that represent "an array of viewpoints across the political spectrum," said a spokesman for the company, Chris Dale. Senator Mark Warner, right, and Senator Amy Klobuchar, Democrat of Minnesota, discussed online political ads and foreign interference in elections in Washington last week. Al Drago for The New York Times [caption] RT's reach on YouTube -- 2.2 million subscribers, just slightly behind CNN -- stemmed from a long and mutually beneficial relationship between the news channel and the video site, according to current and former RT employees and technology industry analysts. YouTube had the vast audience and global reach that RT needed as it set out to become a worldwide alternative news source with influence and viewers beyond Russia's own borders. RT has YouTube channels in a number of foreign languages including Arabic, Spanish, German, French and Chinese. "RT management did view YouTube as hugely important to spreading content," said Liz Wahl, a former correspondent in the United States for RT who quit on the air in 2014 over concerns that the network was whitewashing the Russian annexation of Crimea. "Traditional television ratings weren't important because the aim was to get the messaging out through various digital and social platforms." The Russian channel was among the first news organizations to recognize YouTube's power and developed content intended to perform well on the platform. RT uploads videos frequently, sprinkling in buzzy viral videos of disasters -- plane crashes, tsunamis, a meteor strike - to earn likes and longer watch times, which YouTube's algorithm rewards with better placement among search results and recommendations. [Video: Japan Earthquake: Helicopter aerial view video of giant tsunami waves Watch on YouTube.] Video by RT The viral videos, which were often borrowed from other sources, help to build up RT's subscribers, and they became part of the Kremlin's audience for more political content. "People come for the click-bait material," said Bret Schafer, an official at the Alliance for Securing Democracy, a bipartisan initiative of the German Marshall Fund, the Washington-based public policy research group. "And they eventually land on videos that the Kremlin wants them to see." While much of RT's traffic stems from nonpolitical videos, the channel's political and foreign affairs content ranks highly in many YouTube searches. Searches on topics on which the Kremlin is typically eager to promote its point of view -- American intervention in Syria, the Ukrainian civil war or the rise of Germany's far-right AfD party - - will often turn up an RT video as one of the top results. [Video: 'Clinton & ISIS funded by same money' - Assange interview w/John Pilger (Courtesy Darthmouth Films) Watch on YouTube.] Video by RT YouTube also provided RT with the kind of perks it reserved for big publishers, including custom backgrounds for its channel in the early days and a "check mark" that designated RT as a verified news source. Until recently, RT was also among a select group of news organizations included in Google's "preferred" news lineup, granting them access to guaranteed revenue from premium advertisers. Those advertisers, in effect, subsidized Russia's international propaganda arm. Google dropped RT from the preferred lineup last month. Andrea Faville, a Google spokeswoman, said the decision was unrelated to the congressional inquiry, and that RT had been dropped as part of a "standard algorithmic update." But Google also noted that it was not placing any other limits on RT: The channel could still sell regular ads on its videos and the status downgrade only applied in the United States. Google later clarified that RT was downgraded in other markets, but it would not say which ones. Kirill Karnovich-Valua, RT's deputy editor in chief, said the organization had not been informed of Google's decision and it was puzzled about why it was dropped despite being "one of the most watched YouTube channels in the world." "This speaks to the unprecedented political pressure increasingly applied to all RT partners and relationships in a concerted effort to push our channel out of the U.S. market entirely, and by any means possible," Mr. Karnovich-Valua wrote in an email. Last month, RT said the Justice Department had demanded that a private company affiliated with RT America register as a "foreign agent" -- a term that dates back to a law originally enacted in 1938 to deter Nazi propaganda. On Thursday, after the deadline set by American officials had passed, an RT spokeswoman said that the news organization was "doing everything possible for RT to avoid having to register." Registration could impose voluminous disclosure requirements on RT, a particular burden for a media organization producing frequent content. Russia's president, Vladimir V. Putin, responded in more forceful terms: Should the United States impose restrictions on Russian media, Mr. Putin said last week, Russian would act "symmetrically and quite swiftly." RT's use of other technology platforms is also under investigation. Last month, officials at Twitter told a Senate Intelligence Committee that three RT accounts targeting an American audience -- with a combined following of roughly six million users -- had spent $274,100 to promote tweets in 2016. But none of RT's social media activities or its presence in cable and satellite TV lineups has delivered the impact of its YouTube channel. RT launched its YouTube page in March 2007, roughly four months after Google paid $1.65 billion for the fledgling video site. At the time, YouTube was better known for pirated content and videos of cute animals than news programming, but RT caught on quickly. The Russian channel recruited talent from within the burgeoning world of YouTube-born media stars, people who had already shown a knack for creating viral or popular video content. One RT contributor, the British blogger Graham Phillips, built a large following on YouTube with videos from Ukraine's civil war, many of them critical of Ukraine's central government. RT often featured Mr. Phillips and at one point employed him as a part-time freelancer before he was arrested and deported by Ukrainian authorities. His personal YouTube channel has earned more than 60 million views. Lori Harfenist, a contributor to RT, said that a segment about Hillary Clinton being part of an anti-Semitic conspiracy had been meant as satire. [caption] Another RT contributor, Lori Harfenist, began her career on public- access television in New York City, and eventually moved her self- produced show, "The Resident," to YouTube. Ms. Harfenist was one of the platform's first revenue-sharing partners, according to a biography on Ms. Harfenist's personal website. Ms. Harfenist was eventually recruited by RT, which began featuring her on segments with titles like "America is a Hypocrite." During the presidential campaign, RT's Twitter account promoted a video from her that claimed the existence of an anti-Semitic conspiracy involving Hillary Clinton, Google and the Illuminati. (She later claimed the segment was meant as satire.) Ms. Harfenist did not respond to emails and Facebook messages seeking comment. Today, RT ranks among the top news channels on YouTube for views, subscribers and "engagement" such as comments or likes. The most- watched clips on RT are not political or anti-establishment videos, they are snackable content. A clip of a homeless man with a gifted voice for radio is the most popular video on RT, viewed 40 million times since it was uploaded six years ago. [Video: 'Golden Voice' homeless man finds job, home after viral video success Watch on YouTube.] Video by RT Mr. Karnovich-Valua said RT's primary aim is to provide an alternative point of view on current events so its audience can get a full picture of world events. "Where relevant, RT does present a Russian perspective on current events, but we don't promote the Russian point of view, we explain it alongside with presenting others," he said. Some lawmakers, including Mr. Warner, have called for tighter regulation and disclosure requirements for political advertising on social media platforms. Yet RT's embrace of YouTube shows how difficult it could be to limit foreign influence. "It's not a secret. It's not rocket science, but they're just doing it much better," said Christoph Burseg, who runs VeeScore.com, an analytics and strategic consultancy that tracks YouTube use. "Unless YouTube decides to manually step in, they will continue to be very present. RT isn't doing anything wrong, they're just riding the algorithms."

HISTORY OF DX AND RADIO. == The data is published as the material is received. Free radio of the 90s in Russia. The topic of radio piracy is constantly discussed in various forums on the Internet. In addition, certain articles are replicated. In which, to put it mildly, there are inaccuracies. For example, it is claimed that in the former USSR there were no commercial or pirate radio stations. And, they say, in the 60's all the broadcasting was carried out only on the State TV and Radio. One gets the impression that those who approve such authors are poorly acquainted with Soviet / Russian radio piracy. Most likely, they do not know anything about it at all, because they did not even engage in DX-ing. And all such articles serve only to raise interest in this topic on their Internet resources. So, music on medium waves on a frequency of about 1600 kHz (wavelength slightly less than 200 meters), has been massively twisted since the early 60's! To do this, use a lamp set-top box to a tube household radio. It was enough to play the plates and with a normal antenna the signal was received by day for several kilometers by a direct wave. At night, the range increased to several hundred kilometers using reflection from the ionosphere. Transmitting attachments, usually, were lamp [tubes] "three point" autogenerators on one lamp connected to an anode of an output lamp of the amplifier of low frequency (now speak - sound frequency). Only a few details are needed for such a device! The modulation was anodic-screen. But, unfortunately, we can not say that it was purely amplitude. Since there were parasitic frequency modulation in such simple devices. Nevertheless, in the 60-80 years in some regions of the country there were dozens of stations conducting communications between themselves and transmitting music on behalf of their friends. As for short waves (SW), the first station at the turn of the 1980s- 1990s was Radio without Borders Int (RWBI). She broadcasted at 76 meters. Almost simultaneously with her appeared "Green Music Radio" (3020 kHz - 99 meters). At the end of August 1993, the "Southern Hobby Radio" (SHR), which broadcasted 76 meters, appeared on the air. In 1994, there was a pirated "Russkoe Radio" (RR). It broadcast at 76 and 48 meters (as you know, these are two pirate ranges in the low- frequency spectrum of the SW band). Later, the last two stations merged into the "Broadcasting Corporation of the South of Russia" and conducted synchronously transmissions on different SW waves, as well as on VHF. All four of the above stations were received through ex-USSR territory and in Eastern Europe, and some in Western. The programs included not only music, but also thematic programs, answers to questions from listeners. At the same time, a political station was broadcasting from the Moscow region - Radio Samorodinka, where the operator Lev Stepanovich Shishkin was the operator. This station with a power of only 10 watts (the output was a lamp 6P13S) was included in the annual international guide to radio stations on the SW. Was accepted on the territory of the European part of Russia and Eastern Europe. However, this station is best attributed to a group of political semi- legal stations ... To the group of illegal political free radio broadcasters can be attributed to the medium-wave radio station Radio Nadezhda. In the late 90's, she broadcast a fairly long time from the city of Livny Orel. Its transfer was difficult to distinguish from a "legitimate" state or private radio station. Since the late 80s of the last century, the USSR / Russia has actively developed radio piracy on VHF. In some cities, the radio pirate counted 50-60 stations! Good quality of transmitted music was one of the main advantages of FM transmitters (Frequency Modulation - FM). Some free VHF broadcasters had transmitter power of several hundred watts and stereo mode. On the basis of the foregoing, we can firmly state that in the USSR / Russia free broadcasting, or so-called. "radio piracy" existed! And today there are pirate SW stations all over the world. The most popular range is 48 meters (6200-6300 kHz). Broadcast, as a rule, on the night from Saturday to Sunday. Who lives in the western part of the former USSR can still try at night to listen to the range of 76 meters (3900-3950 kHz). Unfortunately, this range is subject to interference in the summer ... In addition, bulletins continue to be issued and there are mailings on free radio broadcasting. The motto of all radioopyates [sic]: Fight for free radio! - FFFR!

She, perhaps, became the pioneer of free radio broadcasting in Russia in the early 1990s. Through it went on the air "Romantic Space Radio via RWBI" The station was broadcasting from Moscow region. The transfer was conducted by Artem and Igor, and Igor answered the technical condition of the radio transmitter and antenna farm. RWBI had a power of about 200 watts. Operating frequencies: 3905-3920 kHz (previously broadcasted by 6218, 6240, 6285-95). Before the seizure of the station the authorities broadcast to the SV (1636 and 1931 kHz). Then I switched to HF bands. The station usually worked on the night from Saturday to Sunday. Experiments were conducted with broadcasting on phase modulation (13.04.1997 / 3910-14 kHz). "Radio without borders Int." (RWBI) was accepted not only in Russia, but also in Europe. It has been repeatedly reported by Western DX-bulletins and other publications. About RWBI wrote and the Russian magazine "Radio". As well as it is necessary to self-respecting radio stations reports on reception were subject to a verification letter.

I was touched that the Russian scientist Alexander Stepanovich Popov was remembered and honored in the Navy, whose name is connected with the history of the distant island of Gotland! Here is a small piece of the official part of the opening of the renovated stela in memory of the fact that in 1900 from the hills on the island of Gotland a successful radio communication was carried out for a long distance to save the battleship and people! In 1954, a commemorative sign was erected in honor of the world's first radio communication session, but in 50 years it was rendered unusable and almost disintegrated at the dismantling. But thanks to the chief command of the Russian Navy, the vice-admiral Andrei Volozhinsky, the chief of the Main Staff of the Navy, opens the monument and the efforts of the Project Engineering corporation represented by the director for strategic projects Oleg Kozarenko, an updated stele is installed on the island of Gotland in the Baltic Sea.

Scientists have come up with shortened antennas for feedback in the Arctic. Omsk, on October, 24th. / TASS /. Specialists of the Omsk State Technical University with the support of the Russian Science Foundation are working on a technology for text messaging over a radio link to the communication distance in the Arctic, project manager Pavel Puzyrtsev told TASS on Tuesday. "We offer distanced mobile groups could use short text messages to communicate with their stations, and these messages can be transmitted on medium waves, at a low speed of about 50 bits per second," he said. "This speed can be sufficient for text messages, and the signal can be transmitted for hundreds of kilometers." "Now we are working on signals that could make this communication more effective," he added. The average radio waves are optimal for communication in the Arctic - unlike satellite communications or short waves - it's not reasonable to build a cellular network of the tower due to low population density and short waves are bad to work there, since the ionosphere in the Arctic latitudes is unpredictable, "he explained. . "The average range of waves does not depend on the ionosphere - the wave" sticks "to the ground and moves along it, covering large distances," he continued. "However, since it is not possible to equip with full-size antennas, mobile groups can only receive signals as the" voice "does not return, and thus we suggest using the text to solve the problem with answers." Using the option of text messages, groups will be able to report their location, report, emergency situations or make requests. The scientists of the university came up with shortened antennas for feedback in the Arctic and tested them in Vorkuta. According to the project, they will improve the devices for sending text messages on medium waves, over the radio channel.

From today, Twitter has forbidden RT and Sputnik to place ads in their accounts, allowing them to remain users of the platform. Moscow. 26 October. INTERFAX.RU - Russia Today editor-in-chief Margarita Simonyan said that by banning the advertisement of the TV channel, Twitter actually signed with the US intelligence services and suggested that the US media will face retaliatory measures in the Russian Federation. "I did not believe that Twitter was run by US intelligence agencies, I thought it was a conspiracy theory, but Twitter just admitted it myself." It's too bad, "Simonyan told Interfax on Thursday. "It is especially unfortunate that the American media in Russia are now likely to feel all the tenderness of the Russian response," she added. Earlier on Thursday, Twitter reported in its blog that it had forbidden RT and Sputnik to place ads in their accounts, the decision takes effect immediately. Twitter indicates that it is based on the company's research on the US election in 2016 and on the conclusion of US intelligence services about attempts by RT and Sputnik to influence the outcome of the vote. "It was not easy for us to make this decision, and we are taking this step now as part of our commitment to providing honest services to Twitter users," the social network said. It notes that RT and Sputnik can still be users of the platform. Also, Twitter promised to donate $ 1.9 million, which the company earned on RT advertising from 2011, to support independent research on Twitter's use during the elections. Currently, several investigations are underway in the United States, which should determine whether there has been a Russian intervention in the election of the US president in 2016. In particular, this issue is studied by the special prosecutor, appointed by the Ministry of Justice, Robert Mueller. Facebook and Twitter earlier agreed to participate in the November 1 hearings of the Senate Intelligence Committee of the US Congress in connection with Russia's alleged attempts to interfere in the elections. The Russian Foreign Ministry, in turn, said that Moscow would respond to a ban on advertising in Twitter of Russia's Today TV channel (RT) and Sputnik's resource. "We regard this as another aggressive step aimed at blocking the activities of the Russian TV channel Russia Today and is the result of pressure from part of the American establishment and special services." Response measures will naturally follow, "says the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokeswoman Mariya Zakharova, posted on her Facebook page .

One of the most visited exhibitions at the international forum "Kazakhstan's Path to Space: Realities and Prospects" held in Astana was an exhibition of radio receivers of the Republican Center for Space Communications (RCCC). During the forum foreign partners RTSKS - representatives of the Italian division of the French company Tales Alenia Spase (TAS) - presented a gift. Giuseppe Matarazzo, the manager for working with key clients of the Italian space agency and the Italian Defense Ministry, donating two rare exhibits of radio receivers, noted that "now the radio stations of the RCCS have replenished with European copies." "We repeatedly visited Ascona as partners and saw this unique radio station. True, it had radios only Soviet and Russian production. Therefore, Tales set out to find new exhibits. We managed to get a French lamp receiver in 1950 and a German radio in 1980, which we gladly handed to the President of the RCSK Mr. Lefter, "explained Larisa Injudzhyan, who has been working with TAS on developing projects in Europe and Kazakhstan for more than ten years. "Our radio equipment, which is located in the ground control complex satellites in the city of Akkol, we first put up for public viewing. Forum participants were keenly interested in unique exhibits, as well as models of our KazSat-2 and KazSat-3 satellites, "said Maral Darkhan, commercial director of JSC" RCSK ". The initiative to create a radio museum was born several years ago, when partners gave the first radio receivers to the space center of communication, then RCCS employees joined this action. Today in the arsenal of the museum more than 150 exhibits, the oldest of them is the RN-1 radio receiver of 1938, there is another VHF receiver in 1927 that operates in the range of 80-100 MHz. It is noteworthy that all the radio receivers of the museum are in working condition after the restoration and repair, which is carried out by the employees of the center. inform.kz (http://onair.ru/main/enews/view_msg/NMID__67314/) 73!
