According to recently published company reports, Pandora had 73.3 million active listeners, and in December 2016 81 million people used the service. Such a rapid refusal of music fans from Pandora is partly due to the offers of competitors, including Spotify and Apple Music. Most of today's popular streaming services give the user the ability to choose the song of any artist, while Pandora offers only a recommendation system (the user sets the parameters, and the service offers radio stations). Spotify, according to the latest data, has about 140 million users, including free subscriptions. However, Apple Music can not boast of such indicators: this service has only 30 million subscribers. On the other hand, you need to consider that Apple's service does not provide for free use. Despite the sharp decline in the popularity of Pandora, there is good news for the company: the number of users of the paid version of Pandora Premium has grown to 1 million people in the last month. Recall that in late October, Pandora, trying to beat competitors, launched several new paid features that complemented the classic scheme of Internet radio. stereo.ru (http://onair.ru/main/enews/view_msg/NMID__67428/) * Radio Magazine "Radio" 11/2017 -------------------------------------------- In Russian.

Gulyaev, Astrakhan, Russia ftp://ftp.radio.ru/pub/2017/11/16.pdf * On November 11, the radio station Radio Chopin (Radio Chopin), a digital channel of the Polish Radio, is set up to target classical music lovers around the world and received its name in honor of the great composer of the Romantic era. -------------------------------------------------- --------- This is stated in the message of the Polish Radio. The launch of a new radio station, part of the Polish public broadcasting system, will be timed to coincide with the 99th anniversary of the restoration of Poland's independence on 11 November 1918. "The anniversary of the restoration of Poland's independence deserves to be celebrated in a special way," said Polish Radio spokeswoman Malgorzata Kachmarchik. Programs "Radio Chopin" can be listened to all over the world - they will be available through the Internet, on the digital terrestrial platform of the DAB + standard, and also for satellite reception. According to Malgorzata Malashko, director of the 2nd channel of the Polish Radio, the new radio station starts its work on the days when the second channel celebrates its 80th anniversary. She added that the new station will be addressed to music lovers, as well as all those who would like to learn more information about classical music. The air of the station will also broadcast works by Chopin, performed both on modern instruments and on instruments that were used during the life of the composer. Arthur Schcklener, director of the Warsaw-based Friederik Chopin Institute, welcomes the initiative of the Polish Radio. According to him, in the era of new media it is very important to communicate with the audience using the latest opportunities. The digital Radio Chopin once on air for a short period - the Polish radio launched this project on September 28, 2015 for the time of the 17th International Chopin Piano Competition held in Warsaw. Now, starting from November 11, the radio station will broadcast on the air on an ongoing basis.

At the moment this is the easternmost point of broadcasting the radio station. Attempts to implement broadcasting in Khabarovsk have been made since 2014, but only now they have been crowned with success. Radio Vera, a young radio station that began broadcasting in Moscow in September 2014, became the largest Orthodox radio station in a few years: a 24-hour broadcast is available to residents of Moscow, Ryazan, Samara, Omsk, Vyatka, Novosibirsk, Irkutsk, Yekaterinburg, Kirov, Tyumen, Donetsk , Sevastopol and other cities. Also, the radio "Vera" can be heard on the website of the radio station www.radiovera.ru. The basis of information broadcasting is composed of author's and colloquial programs, as well as stories about sincere love and charity, literature and family traditions, examples of selflessness and the most ordinary everyday joys. Every day the radio station invites famous pastors, public figures, creative and scientific intelligentsia, athletes and other interesting people to the air. Every day Vera broadcasts programs about Orthodox faith, traditional moral values for Russia: "Gospel of the Day", "Orthodox Calendar", "Bright Night", "Springs of Heaven", "Secrets of the Bible", "Lives of Saints". The authors and presenter of the programs are clergymen and laity, among whom Archpriest Pavel Velikanov and Tutta Larsen, as well as guests of the studio, not only introduce students to the basics of the Orthodox faith, the history and culture of Russia in the context of Orthodoxy, but also discuss various everyday issues relevant to everyone of us: how to educate children, what to read or see, where to spend the weekend or where to go on vacation? On the air of the radio station, classical and modern Russian and foreign music works also sound. The radio station pays special attention to charity. For only one year, more than 500 non-commercial initiatives were supported in the "Business of the Day" program - a radio program that tells about charitable and socially significant projects. There is no commercial advertising on the air. Currently, the Khabarovsk diocese is working on the inclusion of a regional component in the broadcasting network of the radio Vera, programs dedicated to the church life of the Khabarovsk Territory, its inhabitants, as well as our common problems and the search for solutions to them. patriarchia.ru (http://onair.ru/main/enews/view_msg/NMID__67438/) * The branch of the RTRS "Far Eastern RC" began broadcasting the radio station "Vostok Rossii" in the FM band in Ayan, Komsomolsk-on-Amur, Vanino and Amursk.

It was on this day that the radio station built in the city began broadcasting. The wavelength was 577 meters (in translation 520 kHz). Little is known about the history of its creation and the first months of work, although this unique object (the building of the radio station is one of the monuments of architecture protected by the state) deserves to be told about it. The radio station was not so much entertaining as for political purposes. The fact is that at that time the territory of Polissya and Novogrudok belonged to Poland. The Polish government considered radio to be an important element in countering the influence exerted on the local population by the Soviet Union. The built radio stations in Lviv and Vilna did not cover their radius of action for this region. Therefore, a new radio station was decided to be built in the rapidly developing Baranovichi, then called "Chicago in the East." Construction began in July 1937 and continued until the spring of 1939. The radio station was to be located on the outskirts of the city, on Gabriel Narutovich Street, 72 (now Komsomolskaya, 65). The site for the construction of an area of 10 000 square meters, located in the city park, was provided by the city authorities. In the two-story building of the radio station there was a radio transmitter, two studios, several dozen office spaces, and a control room with the most modern equipment at the time, allowing it to be serviced by one person. On April 25, 1938, installation of equipment and installation of two isolated masts with a height of 141 meters began. One of them worked as the main radio mast, the second as a reflector. The construction necessitated the improvement of the Baranovichi power station, since the radio station consumed twice as much electricity as the whole city. The building of the radio station, erected in the then fashionable style of functionalism, was also curious. The station was officially opened on July 1, 1938, but, as already mentioned, the transmission of broadcasts began to take place only five months later. The signal of the beginning of the broadcasts was the sound of a military horn: it was the duty of the soldiers of the Border Guard Corps, lodging in Baranovichi. The radius of the new radio station covered about one and a half million people. Her programs were listened to in Pinsk and Grodno, Lida and Kobrin, Nesvizh and Molodechno. In 1938 the name of the radio station began to be placed on the radio sets. However, because of the too long name, only the word "Baranov" could have been placed first. Many of the programs broadcast by the Baranovichi radio station were of an ideological nature, but one could also listen to popular and popular music. For example, just before the outbreak of World War II, one of the most popular hits of "Radio Baranovichi" was the tango "Charm of Polesie". The first and only director was Zbigniew Tis-Bankiewicz (Zbigniew Cis-Bankiewicz), who was also an announcer. The same speakers were Maria Konzalówna, Stefan Sojecki, Roman Horoszkiewicz. The station was serviced by engineers Roman Rogiński, Georgy Foltański, Borys Niewiadomski, Teofil Terlecki and Adam Twaróg. The Polish radio station existed in Baranovichi for a short time - less than a year. September 1, 1939, the Second World War began, and after fourteen days, the radio station was bombed by German aircraft. The masts were damaged, but the building itself by some miracle survived. The fate of the workers of Radio Baranovichi was different. For example, Stefan Soyetsky in 1944 became the announcer of the insurgent Warsaw against the Nazis. The life of the engineer Adam Tvarug ended tragically. He was shot at a fascist death camp in the village of Koldychevo. On September 17, 1939, parts of the Red Army joined Western Belarus. Damages were soon eliminated, and the radio station served the inhabitants of Soviet Belarus before the Great Patriotic War. It was called the radio station RV-95. Went on the same wave as in the pre-war time. After the war, in February 1945, at the request of the Polish government, the radio transmitter Radio Baranovichi was transferred by the Soviet authorities to a restored radio station in Rashin and was used there until July 1949. The radio station also managed to serve in modern Belarus. According to the information found, 3 masts and 1 tower were located on the territory of the radio center. 3 masts were used for SV broadcasting (1125 kHz, 1197 kHz, and 1566 kHz). The tower stands to this day and is used for television and radio broadcasting. In the period 2007-2010, two masts were demolished. Not so long ago, the last mast 50 meters high was collapsed. The only thing left in memory of the masts is a fastener for the stretch marks of the old tower in the Old Park. The building of the radio station has been preserved to the present day practically in its original form. Now there is a radio and television broadcasting station "Baranovichi". Previously, the office of the local television company Inteks was also located.

Talas is the largest city in the Northwest of Kyrgyzstan and is an important regional hub. By setting up the antenna on the mountains outside the city, the potential audience of the new station is 250,000 people. This is all part of a broader strategic plan for reaching all of Kyrgyzstan with the Gospel. Rudi Wiens, director of FEBC Central Asia, estimates that with just 6 stations, virtually the entire country will be within reach of their broadcasts, either by radio, satellite or internet. Talas is the 4th station in this 6-station plan, with 2 other stations planning to be built in Osh and Naryn in the coming years. Apparently these are FM stations.

TWITTER BANS RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT-OWNED NEWS SITES RT AND SPUTNIK FROM BUYING ADS The Switch, By Elizabeth Dwoskin By Elizabeth Dwoskin October 26 at 11:43 AM Follow @lizzadwoskin (Kacper Pempel/Reuters) https://www.washingtonpost.com/pb/news/the-switch/wp/2017/10/26/twitter-bans-russian-government-news-sites- rt-and-sputnik-from-buying-ads/ Twitter is banning two Russian government-affiliated news sites from advertising on its platform, the social network said Thursday. Twitter said its decision to block advertising from the sites stemmed from the conclusion of the U.S. national intelligence report in January that said that the Kremlin used the sites Russia Today (RT) and Sputnik, along with a far-flung network of "quasi-government trolls," to interfere in the 2016 U.S. presidential election. "We did not come to this decision lightly, and are taking this step now as part of our ongoing commitment to help protect the integrity of the user experience on Twitter," the company said in a blog post. Twitter's move may put some pressure on Google and Facebook to pull similar advertising from their sites. RT's YouTube channel has more than 2 million followers and claims to be the "most watched news network" on the video site. Its Facebook page, which has an accompanying video channel, has more than 4 million likes and followers. Twitter has said that accounts from RT and Sputnik may continue to tweet but now may not advertise. [Amid Russian investigation, Twitter is making all of its ads public] RT responded to Twitter's decision in a blog post, saying that it had never violated any advertising rules on Twitter, used any bots or deliberately spread disinformation. The news agency also highlighted Twitter's role in helping RT spread its messages on the platform. RT said that it even published a marketing proposal Twitter had sent the company last year in which it tried to sell RT on its services, including Twitter's ability to help RT "deliver an unbiased point of view of the U.S. elections with an edge." In a story on the company's site, Sputnik's editor-in-chief Margarita Simonyan called Twitter's decision "regrettable." In an emailed statement, Sputnik disputed that it had ever used advertising. "Sputnik has never used paid ads for promotion on Twitter," said the company's communications director Beverly Hunt. "Sputnik news channels are followed by people who are tired of the mainstream media and who are looking for a fresh perspective on the news." Twitter and other Silicon Valley companies are facing government scrutiny over the role they played in allowing Russian disinformation to spread on their platforms during the election. Twitter has since taken some steps toward transparency, announcing earlier this week that it would make all advertising public. Facebook made a similar announcement several weeks ago. Lawyers from the company are scheduled to testify before Congress on Nov. 1. They are facing potential new regulation over the disclosure of political advertising online. Twitter said Thursday that it was taking $1.9 million that the company projected that it had earned from RT advertising since 2011, including $274,000 spent during the U.S. election, and donating the funds to external research into the use of Twitter in civic engagement and elections, including malicious automation. Critics have said that the focus on advertising by Silicon Valley companies is misguided because far more disinformation was spread through free posts, tweets, videos and other content. The companies have not disclosed any information publicly about the reach of those organic posts (via Mike Cooper, DXLD) ** RUSSIA [and non]. The editor-in-chief of the RT warned about the "gentle" reaction of the Russian Federation to the ban on advertising the channel on twitter. 26 October. 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. http://www.interfax.ru/russia/584806 (via Rus-DX Oct 29 via DXLD) ** RUSSIA [and non]. HISTORY OF DX AND RADIO. ================= The data is published as the material is received. 1990 - 1997 ---------------- The radio station "International radio without borders" (Radio without Borders International) is the most famous Russian pirate radio station. 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."

Mass media ==SIBERIAN SCIENTISTS WORK ON COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGIES FOR THE ARCTIC --- Business & Economics October 24. 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 [medium!] 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. http://tass.com/economy/972209 (via Rus-DX Oct 29 via DXLD) ** SPAIN [non].

(via Rus-DX Oct 29 via DXLD) MUSEA +++++ THE FIRST RADIO MUSEUM IN KAZAKHSTAN WAS REPLENISHED WITH EXHIBITS FROM EUROPE 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/ (via Rus-DX Oct 29 via DXLD) DX RE MIX NEWS # 1040 from Georgi Bancov and Ivo Ivanov.

I was pleased to notice some positive changes in the station's format after absence: there are more interesting programs in the Ukrainian and less that stupid soviet crap now. I hope the station will continue to change its content. The signal on 765 kHz is very strong and stable in Kyiv and can be easily received with built-in ferrite rod antenna of DE1103. Slight and rare fade-outs are not preventing me from a comfortable listening.

On June 25, 2014, the competition for radio frequencies 88.3 and 90.7 MHz, bypassing the obvious favorites - the radio "Dacha" and the radio "Mir", was unexpectedly won by the company, until recently called "Local Radio", and now it's simple and unpretentious radio "Radio" . The second was expected to be received by the radio "Komsomolskaya Pravda" from the publishing house of the same name. June 16, 2015 began the radio "KP", and on June 22 appeared Radio "Radio".

Programs for GMRI broadcasts were made by some members of the editorial staff of the Moscow Information Bulletin Board (MIDDB). Signals of the radio station were received in many regions of Russia and beyond. Of the thematic programs, it is especially worth highlighting a section for DX-stories. The listeners received the most timely information. Experiencing the difficulties of night broadcasting, the transmitter was then sold. Since then, GMRI has ceased to broadcast. Somewhat later, the paper bulletin of the Foreign Ministry of Moscow ceased to appear. Currently the MIDDB continues to enter the Internet in electronic form.

The then Soviet leadership decided to put the highest building in the country into operation in time for the 50th anniversary of the Great October Revolution. This was one of the most significant gifts for Soviet citizens. Today we publish some little-known facts from the history of the famous skyscraper. Initially, the construction of a tall tower was offered to other places in the capital. At first the variant with Cheryomushki was considered, then this needle-shaped structure of half a kilometer height was wanted to "stuck" on the arrow of the Moskva River and the Vodootvodny Canal (not far from the place where the monument to Peter the Great now stands). There were also proposals to put the tower at the Kaluga outpost and even in the very center of the city - on the site of the Christ the Savior Cathedral demolished in the 1930s. Only in July 1959 the final version was approved: the tower to stand in Ostankino, next to the Sheremetevs' manor palace. In the summer of 1960, they began preparations for construction work, and on September 27 the first cubic meters of concrete were laid in the future foundation. The command "Rise!". For the construction of the concrete trunk of the tower (it reaches 385 m) without using scaffolding, specialists of Promstalkonstruktsiya Institute designed a special self-climbing formwork unit, capable of "climbing" the top as building height is increased. One step of this original design ensured the construction of a fragment of a monolithic body of a tower measuring 5.25 m vertically. Before using such a miracle of technology in Ostankino, he was tested on a smaller scale facility - when building a factory pipe at one of the enterprises in the suburbs. One in return for fifteen. On the eve of the 50th anniversary of Great October, November 4, 1967, the transmitters mounted on the Ostankino Tower were installed, providing transmissions in the radius of 120 kilometers around Moscow of four television channels and three broadcasting programs. At the same time, the work stopped - unnecessary, - 14 relay stations in the Moscow region and the transmitting station of the Moscow TV center on Shabolovka. A cube is not a toy. When the Ostankino "needle" was erected, its builders took care of their successors, who would have to monitor the technical condition of all elements of the unique high-rise structure in the future. In particular, from the same concrete that was placed in the body of the trunk of the tower, the test concrete cubes were prudently manufactured. They were subsequently conveniently used in laboratory conditions to perform strength tests. Such tests, conducted by specialists repeatedly, showed that with the choice of building material the creators of the tower were not mistaken: over the years, this concrete only became stronger. Prehistoric mobile phone. During the first years of its existence the tower managed to grow up! - During the Soviet era, the very fact of this "physiological process" tried to advertise less, since the extension of the Ostankino "needle" was associated with "ensuring the work of the highest state and party organs of the USSR." The fact is that the television tower was expanded so that a new system of government radio-telephone communication could function. In the late 1960s, the Altai system was used for mobile communications in Moscow. Its main receiving and transmitting station was located on the upper tier of a high-rise building near Kotelnicheskaya Embankment. However, weakly strong "Altai" poorly served its privileged subscribers even within the city, besides it hopelessly "gloated" in tunnels and near powerful power lines. Naturally, it was very annoying then VIP-users, and therefore a few years later was developed a much more powerful system - "Caucasus". The previous transmitters, mounted on a Stalin high-rise, were no longer suitable for new "mobile phones", it was required to place the receiving and transmitting equipment somewhere higher. That's when they decided to use the television tower in Ostankino, slightly extending it to accommodate the broadcasters at the maximum "sky-high" level. In 1973, the top of the 533-meter "needle" was removed and replaced in a more dimensional design. Thanks to this, the height of the Ostankino beauty increased by as much as 7 meters. A complicated technical operation was carried out very quickly, for it used not yet dismantled cranes, with which a few years earlier the metal upper part of the miraculous high-rise was mounted. So the majority of Muscovites did not even pay attention to "changes in the top". And the newspapers did not write about this report. Only in the guidebooks was indicated henceforth another height of the TV tower - 540 meters. Favorite target of Zeus. The existence of such a high artificial structure became a "bait" for thunderclouds. According to experts' calculations, over 1500 lightning strikes struck the Ostankino Tower in 50 years.
