I was pleasantly surprised, knowing that they are allocated a modest 1 kW of power. I discovered them around two PM when they were playing a mixture of test tones and Ray Charles, after which they played Fats domino and then a series of typical Caroline album tracks. It is good to know that the tests have now begun, and we look forward to the real thing starting up some time in the not too distant future.

The amount of the contract for the distribution of the signal was 900 thousand dollars The American company Reston Translator LLC, which provided radio frequency to the Russian Radio Sputnik, complied with the requirement of the US Department of Justice, having registered as a foreign agent. In a cover letter, co-owner John Garzilla reported that the registration requirement was received on September 12. Reston Translator LLC, registered in the state of Virginia and belongs to two persons - Barbara and John Garzilla, owning 49 and 51 percent of the company's shares, respectively. The authorized fund of the company was 10 thousand dollars. According to a license issued by the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC), the company has the right to distribute a radio signal at a frequency of 105.5 MHz in the FM-range. The broadcasting zone, as noted in the document, covers "part of the territory of Washington, DC". In a 15-page letter, John Garzilla reported that his company had indeed entered into an agreement with the Russian state company MIA "Russia Today", and from June 2017 provides services for broadcasting programs "Radio Sputnik" in the United States. At the same time, the co-owner of Reston Translator LLC cited references to numerous judicial precedents, saying that he fulfills the requirement to register as a "foreign agent", but does not agree with the position of the ministry. "Reston Translator LLC carries out" instructions "to" Russia Today "no more than the Internet provider carries out" instructions "of a foreign client who" requests "(and pays) broadband services," the cover letter says. John Garzilla also indicated that, according to the terms of the contract, between July 2017 and December 2019, Reston Translator should receive $ 900,000 from MIA "Russia Today", and the monthly remuneration fee for relaying programs is $ 30,000. At the same time, the owner of the company stressed that he did not know whether MIA "Russia Today" received money from a foreign government, and did not believe that Reston Translator was thus involved in political activities. At the beginning of the week it became known that the American company T & R Production, which provides services in the US for creating and broadcasting video products for the Russian state-owned RT television channel, was registered as a "foreign agent". According to the documents, the company's annual expenses in the United States amounted to more than $ 40 million. On November 15, the State Duma adopted in the third final reading a draft law allowing to include in the list of foreign agents any foreign media receiving funding or property from abroad, as well as granting the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation the right to pre-trial blocking of Internet sites. Unlike American law, which does not interfere with the work of Russian media in the US, the law approved by the State Duma allows to completely prohibit the activities of any foreign media on the territory of the Russian Federation under the threat of criminal prosecution.

(http://proradio.org.ua/news/2017nov.php) * November 16, Ukraine celebrates the Day of Radio, Television and Communication Workers! According to historical facts, 93 years ago - on November 16, 1924, the history of Ukrainian broadcasting began in the city of Kharkov (then the capital of the Ukrainian SSR): on that day the first official radio broadcast took place on the territory of our state. This broadcast was a transfer of the play, which was in one of the Kharkiv clubs. Of course, like everything that existed and was being done on the territory of the USSR at that time, then the radio broadcasting in Ukraine was completely subordinate and controlled by the state. And the very first private radio station on the territory of Ukraine, some sources call the Lviv radio studio, which appeared in the city of Leo in the thirties of last century. This station operated in the medium-wave range from Lviv and identified itself as "Lwowska Fala" ("Lviv Wave", in fact, in her honor the modern same-name Lviv private radio station is named); According to other sources, "Lwowska Fala" was only the name of a music and entertainment program with local color, which the Lvivans were preparing for the system of the then Polish state radio (for at that time Galicia was under the rule of Poland). However, in any case, this radio station was not 100% Ukrainian either: if the first Ukrainian radio station represented the interests of the Soviet power, then Lwowska Fala operated under the administration of the Polish administration, which then ran the city. However, times change, and after the fall of the Iron Curtain in 1991 and the restoration of the independence of the Ukrainian state, a new era in the history of Ukrainian radio, both public and private, began. It is interesting that the first non-state radio stations of Ukraine, created in the early 90's - Odessa's Radio GLAS, Pavlodar Samara, Kiev ROKS, Lviv's Independence - in one form or another exist today. Meanwhile, radio in Ukraine continues its development - new stations are opening, new formats are being launched, new technologies are being introduced. Something gradually dies out - like, for example, a wire radio. But at the same time, something new is born. The radio is developing space communication channels and the Internet, which in recent years has become a haven for many niche formats and creative projects. Radio has generated on the Internet, in particular, and such a genre as podcasts. In the end, the Internet itself is gradually moving into the mobile space, where data transmission occurs using the same radio communication using radio frequencies. Yes, and the familiar to us all on- air radio with the development of modern digital technology can soon acquire a completely new look ... (http://proradio.org.ua/news/2017nov.php) * 16 November. Today in Ukraine celebrate the Day of workers in radio, television and communications. It was November 16, 1924 in Kharkov on the air sounded the first radio program - the first in Ukraine radio concert took place. Day of workers of radio, television and communications, established by the Presidential Decree 11.11.1994 No667 / 94 in support of the initiative of workers in radio, television and telecommunications industry of Ukraine. The radio station in Kharkov, which was in those years the capital of the Ukrainian Socialist Republic, was created as a combat order. The first radio station was located in the Central Party Club - today it is the building of the Philharmonic Society. The first words of the Ukrainian radio were heard by 70 radio amateurs. Of course, there were no announcers then, of course, in the state of the radio station. Therefore, the transfer was opened by the technician, who, from the habit of the telecommunications operator, said three times to the "Allo" microphone. And three times more "Kharkov Says". From such an interesting moment, radio broadcasting began in Ukraine. Radio Day is a holiday that is celebrated throughout the modern world. However, the celebration dates in different countries differ. For example, on February 13, at the initiative of UNESCO, the World Radio Day is held, in honor of the founding in 1946 of the UN radio. And in Russia the date of the holiday coincides with the event of the first radio communication session, which was held thanks to the physicist Alexander Popov on May 7, 1895. (http://mediasat.info/2017/11/16/16-noyabrya-v-ukraine-otmechayut-den-rabotnikov-radio-televideniya-i-svyazi/) FRANCE ======== On the Cote d'Azur of France there is Radio Baikal. Its employees claim that this is the first Russian radio in Europe and expresses confidence that over time this network will spread across all European countries As Baikal Info informs, the first step has already been taken: in November Radio Baikal will start broadcasting in London. The creator of this radio is Alexander Tyunikov, a well-known person in Irkutsk, one of the founders of the holding "AS" Baikal TV ". - Tell us, how did the idea to create such a not quite simple project as Radio Baikal appeared? - I was always interested in the question of why we have foreign radio stations in Russia, for example, such as Energy, "Europe Plus", Nostalgie, and in Europe there is no radio. And when I began to visit Europe more often, I got the idea of creating a Russian radio here. Frequency resource they are completely busy. We have more, because the size of the country allows, and there the state is on the state. They interfere with each other, and it is almost impossible to find a free frequency in the FM band. Therefore, my idea, most likely, would have remained unrealized, if from the year 2015 in Europe the digital radio would not have developed at a fast pace. There was a real chance to go to Europe with your project. And I could not deny myself the pleasure of trying to make my dream come true. First it turned out to launch a Russian-French radio on the French Riviera of France. It still works and is called Nice Radio, that is, Radio Nice. And a year later, a Russian-language "Radio Baikal" was added to it. After that, I had an obsession to launch a Russian-language radio network called Radio Baikal in Europe, and in November I plan to start broadcasting Radio Baikal in London. - Is there any kind of concept in Radio Baikal? - We chose a universal concept: just a Russian-language radio for everyone - from children to the elderly. We have Russian and foreign hits. On weekends, under the heading "Hit Weekend", there are hits of the 70s and 80s for the older generation. Almost every hour there are local and international news, which are written in the studio of media holding "AS" Baikal TV ". At the studio in France, French journalists work, which collect local news, prepare material, send it to Irkutsk. We translate them and write them down in Russian. There is a very popular program "Znai our!". On the Cote d'Azur in Monaco, there are a lot of festivals and other events. Many Russian celebrities live here. Accordingly, we invite the stars on the air. The program is broadcast live from five to seven in the evening. The program "Direct Communication" goes online. On a direct connection with the audience is a psychologist. It helps people to solve some controversial issues. For example, a common theme is marriage with foreigners. The concept of the Radio Baikal program in London and in the following European cities will be absolutely the same. - Which cities can you name? - The project "Radio Baikal" is long, very voluminous in terms of finances and time. But the beginning has already been laid, and, I think, the project has a very good prospect. Next in line are Italy, Greece, Austria, the Baltic States and Finland. Russian-language radio abroad is necessary. It desperately needs our compatriots abroad, and just Russian-speaking people. He is listened to in cars, on the Internet. Many people even started buying stationary radios to listen to our radio not only in the car, but also at home. Frankly, I did not even expect that Russian radio is so necessary for our people abroad. - How did the French audience react to the appearance of Radio Baikal? - The French immediately became very interested in our radio and our music. Periodically, messages come with a request to repeat some Russian song. Or they are just interested in the name and the performer. The main difference between Radio Baikal and other radio stations is that it is unique for Europe. It is Russian. In Paris, there is an Armenian radio on the air, but until now in Europe there was no real Russian. - Russian celebrities come to visit you. And were there French or European? "In-Grid came to visit us." She was on Nice Radio and Radio Baikal. All the stars, who come, we try to call to ourselves. Celebrities come to us regularly. There were Igor Ugolnikov, Tatyana Vedeneeva, actor Dmitriy Nazarov, the presenter of the program "The Man and the Law" Alexey Pimanov. If one of the foreign guests comes, then, of course, we remove the "Znai our!" Booklet and just do live broadcasting with it. - How profitable is it to have a radio station in France? - It's unprofitable. Over time, there was advertising, and its number is growing. But, unfortunately, communication services, studio rentals and taxes cover income. They do not allow you to do business. For me, this project is more for the soul than for the business. But with the development of the network, over time, when "Radio Baikal" will be in eighteen or twenty countries and cities, advertising on it will become more expensive. And perhaps this project will become a good business. But now the main thing is that our project at least pays off. - So your main goal in this project is its payback? - My main goal and dream is to launch Radio Baikal across Europe and Russia and make it interesting not only for Russian-speaking radio listeners, but also for all Europeans. And I'm very serious about realizing this dream. baikal-daily.ru (http://onair.ru/main/enews/view_msg/NMID__67520/) "RUS-DX PLUS" PARTNER CHANNELS AND INTERNET ============== DX LISTENING DIGEST 17-45, November 7, 2017 Incorporating REVIEW OF INTERNATIONAL BROADCASTING edited by Glenn Hauser, USA --------------------------------- ** INDIA [non].

HISTORY OF DX AND RADIO. === The data is published as the material is received. ABOUT RADIO-BULLIES IN THE USSR Radio-bullies in the Soviet Union appeared at the turn of the 60's, during the Khrushchev thaw. The peak of prosperity fell on 1965-75. Turning on the radio on the middle waves, in the wave area of 200 meters, you could receive a lot of radio stations that broadcast a variety of music: Vladimir Vysotsky and Arkady Severny, Beatles and Deep Purple, songs of his own composition accompanied by a guitar, bayan or balalaika ... # radiohounds # radio communications # divisions In the fifties of the twentieth century, in connection with the onset of a political thaw and a general increase in the well-being of citizens, the interest in radio dramatically increased. The Soviet industry, which has risen neither peacefully, produced more and more, though not cheap, but more or less accessible devices. After the war, the release of the popular magazine Radio was resumed, and on the air shortwave music began to appear. However, obtaining permission to go on air was accompanied by a lengthy and painful bureaucratic procedure. In addition, the Soviet shortwave was under total ideological pressure and control, it suffices to say that until the end of the fifties it was allowed to conduct radio communications only within the country and with the so-called "people's democracies", that is, the USSR satellites. The remnants of this state persisted until the end of the socialist era in the form of indispensable membership in the DOSAAF, the need to obtain a separate permit for work with foreigners and the ban on broadcasting even their own address and telephone number. As a result, from the middle of the fifties, handicraft unregistered stations began to appear on the air, but they were not called radio bulletins at that time. During March-June 1960 the Presidiums of the Supreme Soviets of all union republics adopted decrees "On responsibility for the illegal manufacture and use of radio transmitting devices." Responsibility was provided for the following: measures of social influence or administrative responsibility in the form of a fine with confiscation of equipment. The very term - radio-bullying appeared in the USSR from July 3, 1963, when, following the instructions of the Plenum of the Supreme Court, the lower courts began to pass sentences for the use of illegally operating transmitters (PDPs) for the same article, according to which ordinary hooliganism with technical means, namely, part two of Article 206 of the Criminal Code of the RSFSR and on the relevant articles of the Criminal Code of other Union republics. Criteria for initiating the criminal prosecution of the offender were not just illegal broadcasts, but "deliberate actions expressed in the conduct of radio programs related to the manifestation of obvious disrespect to society, from mischief, grossly violating public order, or interfering with broadcasting and service radio communications." On the air radio amateurs-illegal immigrants came out with the help of a self-made device - "prefix", or "barrel organ" (also cars, cars, marahayki). So in the jargon was called a stationary radio-bully transmitter, manufactured by the artisanal method for illegal broadcasting and radio communication in the upper part of the CB range (above 1500 kHz). To make such a simple transmitter could even be a teenager. Fortunately, then everywhere opened school radio circles. Connected "homemade" to a low-frequency amplifier, usually a tube receiver or a player. Such an apparatus ensured that the station was audible within a radius of several kilometers. The main occupation of "organ-grinders" was "to drive music". Radio- bullies of the 50s turned rock and roll and boogie woogie, as well as other evil influence of the West. Dozens of voices called each other to communicate with peculiar mantras: "All free, here" Moidodyr "who hears, reception." In case if someone answered the call, followed by a report on the reception, the strength of the signal at 120% with the overlap is the highest estimate of the reception strength based on the indicators of the tuner of the home radio receiver. I remember my classes only with warmth. If we do not touch on the ethics problems when working on the air, connected with swearing and tactless landing on the frequencies of distant operators, when the connection between the operators is not yet completed, I believe that this experience for the whole generation was invaluable. Indeed, hundreds and hundreds of young people were engaged in the broadcasts, for which this was the beginning and the basis for choosing a profession. Work on the air was also a means of sharing experiences, and a means of communication, which is extremely important at a young age. The undoubted fact is that then the youth felt deficiency, hunger in listening to music. On a reel tape recorder in which a pulley for speeding 9 cm instead of 19 cm was tweaked to save the film. Everything from the "Hello, We're Looking for Talents" program and songs from the type of "Portrait of the work of Pablo Picasso" to "Deep Purple" "," Zeppelinov "and quite rare" Moody blues "," Warhors ". By the way, in the Soviet times there was another kind of radio bullying. The fact is that apartment radio stations in the USSR did not work around the clock. This was used by wire radio stations. These craftsmen did not make any radio transmitters - they connected the amplifier output to the dead network and drove their favorite music. In addition to the amplifier, it was enough for such music lovers to have a tape recorder and two wires. As a result, the whole house could listen to what the radio bullet broadcast. "Radio-bullies were almost all the boys in our yard," says Leonid Shipelsky, a former Dniprodzerzhinsk citizen and now a resident of the German city of Augsburg. "A simple medium-wave transmitter was transmitted from hand to hand: a high-frequency coil, a vario- capacitor of variable capacity, resistances and capacitors, as well as an electronic lamp-pentode or triode. Details could be extracted from the old radio, exchanged from others or bought everything in the same store "Kulttovary". Microphones were extracted in a particularly exotic way. Someone just sawed off half the handset and used its lower, microphone part. Someone is an elegant plastic and very poor microphone, which was sold with any tape recorder. This was in 1964-65 ggodah, when only transistor receivers "Tourist", "Selga", "Atmosphere" appeared. The peak of radio bullying was in 1960-70. "Free operator", "Switchman", "Black label", "Nightingale", "Mockingbird", "Black cat", "Beard" - which only the callsigns were not invented by home-grown DJs of the time when this word is even in our the lexicon did not exist. Well-behaved citizens stigmatized radio-bullies and demanded to involve them in all the strictness of the law. The punishment for "hooliganism with the use of technical means" varied from a fine to one and a half years imprisonment. Most often confined to punishment "ruble". For the first offense, they fined 10- 50 rubles, more often 50 - the amount for those times is considerable. For the second one - 50-150 rubles. And what is 150 rubles? Not everyone in those years had such a monthly salary. https://vk.com/samaracb (via Rus DX 5 Nov via DXLD) ** TIBET [non].

Photo by Boris Novogran and provided by the Baranovichi Museum of Local History. April 25, 1938 installation of technical equipment of the radio station in the city of Baranovichi began. The program began broadcasting in October of the same year on a wave of 577 meters. At that time the radio station was a branch of the Vilnius radio station and was on the street. Gabriel Narutovich. Now it is st. Komsomolskaya, and we are talking about the same building, where until recently the company "Inteks" was located. By its capacity, the Baranovichi radio station was equal to the stations of Vilnia and Lviv and covered a territory within a radius of 120 km. Its foundation had, among other things, political significance. It was created in order to "establish in this territory contact with modern Poland." After all, then Baranovichi was part of this country. (Olga Shumanskaya) The date of the appearance of radio broadcasting in Baranovichi is October 30, 1938. 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 Konzalowna, Stefan Sojecki, Roman Horoszkiewicz. The station was serviced by engineers Roman Roginski, Georgy Foltanski, Borys Niewiadomski, Teofil Terlecki and Adam Twarog. 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. Original text with minor changes: ( via Anatoly Klepov-RUS, RUSdx #950 Nov 12) KYRGHYZ REP 4010.218 Birinchi Radio.

Device of the Ostankino Tower + photo -------------------------------------------------- ------- http://ostankino50.tass.ru/ustroystvo-ostankinskoy-bashni/ Secrets of the Ostankino Tower: it was built up for the sake of secret special communication. According to the initial plan, she had to stand in a very different place. Miracle wonderful - Ostankino Tower marks a round date: exactly half a century of "work experience". 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.

RT AGREES TO REGISTER AS AN AGENT OF THE RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT --- By Devlin Barrett and David Filipov, https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/rt-agrees-to-register-as-an-agent-of-the-russian- government/2017/11/09/bd62f9a2-c558-1 1e7-aae0-cb18a8c29c65_print.html RT, a Moscow-headquartered website and television channel that the U.S. government says is a propaganda outlet for the Kremlin, will register with U.S. authorities as a foreign agent, its editor said Thursday. The registration follows a months-long back-and-forth between RT and the Justice Department over whether it was required by U.S. law to register as an agent of the Russian government. "The American Justice Department has left us with no choice,'' RT's editor in chief Margarita Simonyan said in a statement posted on the organization's website. "Our lawyers say that if we don't register as a foreign agent, the director of our company in America could be arrested, and the accounts of the company could be seized. In short, in this situation the company would not be able to work. Between those consequences and registering as a foreign agent, we are forced to choose registration.'' She added: "We will continue to work and continue to fight this as long as it's possible.'' Formerly known as Russia Today, RT disputes that it is an agent of the Russian government, arguing that it offers alternatives to mainstream news coverage. U.S. intelligence agencies have concluded that the network and website push relentlessly anti-American propaganda at the behest of the Russian government. [Facebook temporarily blocked RT] The Russian Embassy in Washington suggested Thursday that U.S.-based news organizations with reporters in Moscow could face retaliation. In a statement, the embassy said RT was given "an ultimatum to register as a foreign agent by Nov. 13'' and if the company doesn't comply, the U.S. government is "threatening to start arresting staff'' and freezing bank accounts. The embassy warned that restrictions on the activities of Russian media "would inevitably entail immediate and reciprocal measures.'' Russian President Vladimir Putin was asked about the controversy at a foreign policy event last month. In response to a question from Simonyan, Putin said, "As soon as we see any efforts to limit our mass media, we will reciprocate immediately." Russian news media reported in October that the upper house of the Russian parliament had drawn up a blacklist of at least five U.S. media outlets whose activities in Russia could be restricted in response. A Justice Department spokesman declined to comment. A January assessment by U.S. intelligence agencies described RT America TV as "a Kremlin-financed channel operated from within the United States, (which) has substantially expanded its repertoire of programming that highlights criticism of alleged US shortcomings in democracy and civil liberties.'' The assessment also said RT America "has positioned itself as a domestic US channel and has deliberately sought to obscure any legal ties to the Russian government,'' but behind the scenes, "The Kremlin staffs RT and closely supervises RT's coverage, recruiting people who can convey Russian strategic messaging because of their ideological beliefs.'' The Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA), passed in the run-up to World War II as a means of exposing pro-Nazi propagandists in the United States, requires that Americans working on behalf of foreign governments register as such with the government. The requirements are enforced by the Justice Department, but some critics, including the head of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Sen. Charles E. Grassley (R-Iowa), have said the department has a poor track record of making firms and individuals follow the law. The issue of Russian propaganda in the United States has become a hot topic in the wake of the 2016 presidential election, as lawmakers and intelligence officials have pointed to thousands of social media accounts directed from Russia that posed as Americans voicing their opinions on domestic political issues. U.S. intelligence agencies have concluded that Russia sought to interfere with the U.S. election to help Donald Trump get elected. As RT's work has come under greater scrutiny from the Justice Department, the company has accused the United States of trying to infringe on the rights of a free press. Other foreign news organizations operating in the United States have filed under FARA with little observable impact on their business.

State Duma Speaker Vyacheslav Volodin said lawmakers will take up changes to the Russian law on foreign agents to extend it to the news media. Until now, that law has been applied only to nongovernmental organizations that receive financing from abroad and engage in what the government determines to be "political activity." The law has been criticized as a way for the Russian government to marginalize civil society institutions. U.S. intelligence agencies said in January that RT and the news agency Sputnik, along with a network of "quasi-government trolls," interfered in the 2016 U.S. presidential election on behalf of the Russian government by pushing anti-American propaganda, claims that RT denies. [RT agrees to register as an agent of the Russian government] Volodin's address to the Duma, the lower house of parliament, signaled that the government now plans to treat U.S. media organizations in Russia as agents of the United States seeking to meddle in Russian affairs. The Duma is obliged to give its laws two preliminary approvals before passing them, which Volodin said could happen next week. After that, the law would move to Russia's upper house, which supported retaliating to the restrictions on RT at a hearing this week. "All actions of American media outlets indicate that their policy and positions are totally unfriendly and that this interference is absolutely undisguised," Volodin said. "Since such decisions are being made on U.S. territory in relation to our TV channels, it will be right for us to respond to these actions." The current Russian law does not restrict activity but requires organizations to place the "foreign agent" label on all their documents. It was not clear how this label would apply to U.S. media groups, how it could affect their work or how many outlets would be affected. Pyotr Tolstoy, a deputy speaker of the State Duma, suggested that one possibility is that media outlets affected by the new law could be required to include a statement identifying themselves as foreign agents on their social media pages. RT's registration as a foreign agent follows a months-long back-and-forth with the Justice Department over whether it was required by U.S. law to register as an agent of the Russian government. "The American Justice Department has left us with no choice,'' RT's editor in chief, Margarita Simonyan, said in a statement posted on the organization's website Thursday. "Our lawyers say that if we don't register as a foreign agent, the director of our company in America could be arrested, and the accounts of the company could be seized. In short, in this situation the company would not be able to work. Between those consequences and registering as a foreign agent, we are forced to choose registration.'' [Putin says Olympic disqualifications are sign of U.S. meddling in Russia's elections] She added, "We will continue to work and continue to fight this as long as it's possible.'' RT, previously known as Russia Today, disputes that it is an agent of the Kremlin, arguing that it merely offers alternatives to mainstream news coverage. "Reciprocal measures will be put in place to ensure the same restrictions as the Americans are now trying to impose on Russian media outlets," Tolstoy said. Russian President Vladimir Putin signaled that he would sign such a law last month, when he told a conference of foreign policy scholars that Russia would respond immediately and reciprocally to "any efforts to limit our mass media." Russian news media reported in October that the upper house of the Russian parliament had drawn up a blacklist of at least five U.S. media outlets whose activities in Russia could be restricted in response. This month, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said Moscow was preparing "a surprise" in response to pressure on Russian media outlets in the United States. Asked by a Russian television talk show host Thursday whether "The Washington Post and the New York Times should pack their suitcases," she said: "Hold on, not all at once -- we'll unpack our surprise bit by bit." A Justice Department spokesman declined to comment to The Post on Thursday. U.S. intelligence agencies in January described RT America TV as "a Kremlin-financed channel operated from within the United States, [which] has substantially expanded its repertoire of programming that highlights criticism of alleged U.S. shortcomings in democracy and civil liberties.'' The assessment also said RT America "has positioned itself as a domestic U.S. channel and has deliberately sought to obscure any legal ties to the Russian government,'' but behind the scenes, "the Kremlin staffs RT and closely supervises RT's coverage, recruiting people who can convey Russian strategic messaging because of their ideological beliefs.'' [Russian prosecutors begin searching for foreign agents among civic groups] The Russian law on foreign agents in recent years has been used on nongovernmental groups that do not toe the Kremlin party line. Memorial, one of Russia's oldest human rights groups, which for three decades has sought to expose Soviet mass killings and arrests, and the Levada Center, an independent polling agency, were registered as foreign agents by Russia's Ministry of Justice. The organizations have disputed the decision. Devlin Barrett in Washington contributed to this report.

Putin of Russia on the state-run RT network, which has agreed to be designated as a foreign agent in the United States despite objections from its leadership. RT, via YouTube [caption] By MICHAEL M. GRYNBAUM November 10, 2017 https://mobile.nytimes.com/2017/11/10/business/media/russia-rt-cnn-crackdown.html In the latest round of tit-for-tat sparring between the United States and Russia, the authorities in Moscow warned on Friday of a coming crackdown on American media outlets that operate in Russia, including CNN. The move was explicitly intended as retaliation for an apparent American censure of RT, the state-run news organization formerly known as Russia Today, which American intelligence sources have accused of being used as a propaganda outlet. Officials in President Vladimir V. Putin's government said CNN, along with the federally funded Voice of America and Radio Liberty, might be designated as foreign agents, essentially identifying them as hostile intelligence outfits. In the United States, the designation of foreign agent is typically assigned to foreign lobbying groups. Russia's suggestion that it might assign the label to foreign news organizations like CNN -- potentially restricting their distribution and operation -- was likely to raise alarm bells among press freedom groups. On Thursday, RT agreed to register with the Justice Department as a foreign agent in the United States, despite vehement objections from the network's leadership. Representatives of RT have denied that the Russian authorities dictate its coverage. In addition, the Russian authorities had previously warned that any American censure of RT would be met with a response. Tensions in the international media sphere are rising at a time when ties between the Russian authorities and the Trump campaign are the subject of an investigation by the special counsel Robert S. Mueller III. During the 2016 presidential campaign, RT frequently portrayed the United States as a nation in disarray, often in sensational YouTube videos that racked up millions of views. The RT network was cited in an intelligence dossier about potential foreign intrusions in the election. In retaliation, Russian officials said CNN, along with Voice of America and Radio Liberty, might be designated as foreign agents. Al Drago for The New York Times [caption] On Friday, President Trump and Mr. Putin both attended the Asia- Pacific Economic Cooperation forum in Danang, Vietnam. The men did not hold formal talks, but they shook hands and exchanged greetings before posing for a photograph at the forum's gala dinner. It remained unclear on Friday whether Russia's talk of a crackdown posed an imminent threat to the operations of American news outlets there, or was saber rattling. Some Russian officials see CNN's international network as a useful vehicle to reach foreign audiences. The American authorities have not publicly acknowledged a request that RT register as a foreign agent. But in a defiant statement on Thursday, RT's editor in chief, Margarita Simonyan, denounced the Justice Department and said her network would register to avoid a freezing of its bank accounts and disclosure of personal information about employees. "The demand is discriminative; it contradicts both the democracy and freedom of speech principles," Ms. Simonyan wrote on RT's website. "It deprives us of fair competition with other international channels, which are not registered as foreign agents." Ms. Simonyan said she planned to sue the Justice Department over the matter. During the presidential race, RT's American cable network attracted about eight million viewers a week, and it assigned reporters to cover the major party conventions and campaign rallies. Among its on-air personalities were American TV veterans like Larry King and Ed Schultz. RT had particular influence on YouTube, where its 2.2 million subscribers rivaled the totals for major American news outlets. The Russian minister of communications, Nikolai Nikoforov, said this week that the treatment of RT in the United States was the result of an undeserved animosity toward Russian interests. "It is yet another manifestation of the general anti-Russian hysteria" in the United States, Mr. Nikoforov told journalists, "rather than of a constructive legal dialogue." The Justice Department and CNN declined to comment. Amanda Bennett, the director of Voice of America, said in a statement: "The Voice of America is an independent news source required by law to be accurate, objective and comprehensive. We will not speculate on any steps foreign governments might take with regard to our journalistic work."

Margarita Simonyan, editor-in-chief of Russian broadcaster RT, meets with journalists, with the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour seen in the background, in Moscow, Russia, October 17, 2016. REUTERS/Maxim Shemetov [caption] U.S. intelligence agencies said in a report in January that the television station, which broadcasts on cable in the United States, is "Russia's state-run propaganda machine" and that it contributed to the Kremlin's campaign to interfere with last year's presidential election in favor of Republican Party candidate Donald Trump. After that report, the Department of Justice insisted that RT America comply with registration requirements under the Foreign Agent Registration Act (FARA). Under the act, RT will be required to disclose financial information. Moscow has repeatedly denied the allegations of election meddling and said it views the actions against RT as an unfriendly act. But RT's editor in chief, Margarita Simonyan, said on Monday that it would comply with the demand in order to avoid further legal action by the U.S. government. "Between a criminal case and registration, we chose the latter. We congratulate American freedom of speech and all those who still believe in it," Simonyan said on Twitter. The Department of Justice confirmed that it received a registration from T&R Productions LLC, which has operated studios for RT, hired and paid U.S.-based employees and produced English-language programming. "Americans have a right to know who is acting in the United States to influence the U.S. government or public on behalf of foreign principals," said acting Assistant Attorney General Dana Boente. In October, Twitter announced it would no longer allow advertisements from RT and another Kremlin-backed news organization, citing intelligence that the television station participated in efforts to influence the election. FARA requires foreign governments, political parties and the lobbyists and public relations firms they hire in the United States to register with the Department of Justice. FARA was first passed in 1938 in the lead up to World War Two in an effort to combat German propaganda efforts. Foreign government-owned news organizations, including China Daily, the English-language newspaper owned by China's government, register under FARA. The law applies to companies that are owned or controlled by foreign governments. The United States and Russia are engaged in a back-and-forth over "foreign agent" registration. Russia's parliament warned on Friday that some U.S. and other foreign media could also be declared "foreign agents" in response to the actions against RT, requiring them to regularly declare full details of their funds, financing and staffing. U.S. government-sponsored Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL), CNN and Germany's Deutsche Welle could all be affected by the retaliatory measures, a senior Russian lawmaker said earlier on Monday. While traveling in Asia, Trump touted the relationship between himself and Russia and posted on Twitter that improved relations with the country would "a good thing, not a bad thing."

I was unable to catch anything new from Alaska and it seems that almost everything in the way of NDBs up there, has pretty much been heard down here. There have been a couple over the years that had very low ERP and were never heard down this way and they were even very hard to hear by one of the NDB guys on a couple of trips to Alaska with his Perseus, but these have been decommissioned now. One that was on our group's 'decommissioned' list was GLA in Gulkana, thought to be gone now for almost two years but was heard on your recording, very weakly, and looks like another candidate for low ERP now either because of poor maintenance or antenna problems. It will be good to put it back on the 'target' list! Same story for DA in Dawson City; we will put it back on the list as well. 10 09 17 1357 437 OG Okha, Russia ... ... will forward your log for uploading to the NDB database and as before, they will appear under your name at Haida Gwaii.

First, the project will be implemented on the Internet, by the end of the year, Muslim television will step into the cable networks. As Rimat Khamidullin, an adviser to the Mufti of Tatarstan on information policy, told RBC-Tatarstan, the idea of creating a Muslim television belongs to the mufti of the republic Kamil khazrat Samigullin. "The creation of Muslim television has been spoken for many years. Unfortunately, the problem was not solved. Now the mufti has set before us the task of working in this direction more actively. At the moment, content is being created for television. In the near future we plan to launch a cycle of projects on the Internet, in the future, access to cable television. We also have internet radio "Azan". The implementation of all projects will be completed within a year, "Hamidullin said. The interlocutor of RBC-Tatarstan noted that earlier the Spiritual Board of Muslims of Tatarstan and Tattelecom had begun negotiations on the creation of cable television for disseminating the values of traditional Islam for Russia. As it was noted at the meeting of representatives of the DUM of the republic and the operator, today the Muslim TV channel "Khuzur TV" broadcasts on the Internet, which could be used for cable distribution. Thanks to an agreement with the leadership of TV companies TNV and GTRK "Tatarstan", the Muslim television channel was given the archive of all Islamic programs in the last 20 years in Russian and Tatar. As for the contents of the programs of the Muslim television channel, the emphasis will be placed on educational, anti- extremist and patriotic programs. Author: Svetlana Burakova.

(http://spb.rtrs.ru/press/photo/nasha-tekhnika-1967-1973-gg-/) * 1993 ------- Southern Hobby Radio (SHR). The journal "Radio Amateurs" (# 4, 1994, p.51) wrote about this station as follows: "North Caucasus. From here works pirate "Southern hobby-radio", broadcasting time - approximately at 22.30-23.00 on the night from Saturday to Sunday, frequencies are used within 3900 ... 3915 kHz. " This radio station was aired on August 29, 1993 in the range of 76 meters. Originally it was called "Southern Radio". According to the station, it initially had an output power of about 5-8 watts. The output cascade was assembled on a 6P6C lamp. The station transmitted an identification signal - "... Southern radio from the Central part of the North Caucasus ...". The signal was received in Rostov and Nalchik. Subsequently, the "Southern Hobby Radio" began broadcasting at a power of 50-100 watts. His signals were received in various parts of Russia, Belarus, Ukraine and the Baltic states. In 1997, experiments were conducted in the 76-meter range on slow-wave television (SSTV) broadcasting. The results of the experiments are unknown. SHR transfers were conducted irregularly and represented thematic programs and musical accompaniment. Particularly interesting were the columns "Answers to the letters of radio listeners", "Technical section" and songs on request. In one of the programs, it was announced that they would issue a special diploma for the reception of five Russian piracy stations. What ended this venture is unknown. Observations station confirmed a simple QSL card and verification letter. It is worth noting that the verification letter was printed immediately on 4 radio stations - SHR, "Russian radio", "Radio Melomania" and "Radio Arsenal." The choice of the station was indicated by a cross in front of the desired station. All these radio stations have united in the "Free Broadcasting Corporation of the South of Russia". This could be read in a verification letter sent on behalf of this pirate association. The station ceased broadcasting in the late 90s of the last century.
