The last day of 2017. Before the New Year 2018, very little remains. I am glad that I was with you all this year, and I hope that I have helped you more than once with the choice of leisure. In Russia, where 11 time zones, the New Year is met 11 times. I congratulate all readers of the bulletin on the upcoming holidays - New Year and Orthodox Christmas! I wish you all success in your hobbies, personal life and health! Many sum up the year. Of course, the year was unsuccessful for many WEB resources and bulletins about DX in our country and abroad. Everyone had their own problems, which were reflected in the end - the closure of WEB pages and DX-bulletins. Something new has appeared, but what more fans of long-distance reception would learn about this, write and your messages will appear on the bulletin page.

UKRAINE ==The editorial board of "Ukrainian Radio" plans in 2018 to create a permanent line of programs in the Crimean Tatar language and to establish regular broadcasting to the Crimea. This was said by the general producer of "Ukrainian Radio" Dmitry Khorkin, reports "Crimea.Realii". "For three years now, the Russian-language edition of the Ukrainian Radio has been running, where Russian-language programs about Ukraine for the residents of the occupied part of Donbass, the border regions of Ukraine with the Russian Federation of the Crimea and Sevastopol are on the way. We have Ukrainian-language programs. Now we are trying to make a good, permanent we are looking for partners, because there are not so many leading and announcers who speak Crimean Tatar," said Dmitry Khorkin. He added that this language requires special preservation and dissemination. "Ukrainian Radio" on the average AM wave frequency of 549 kHz can be heard in Dzhankoysky, Pervomaisky districts of Crimea and in the territory of the Kerch peninsula. Dmitry Khorkin explained that this transmitter is evening, when the sun goes down, and there is no interference, the signal is audible far away. It is important that the radio can be easily caught, this requires a simple receiver and batteries. Recall, on the air of the "Ukrainian Radio" broadcasts "Radio Crimea. Reality." Earlier, Sergei Kostinsky reported that in the Crimea, "Ukrainian Radio / Radio Crimea. Realia" is broadcasting on the peninsula at frequencies of 549 kHz and 100.7 MHz. We will add, the Ukrainian broadcasting from the TV-radio tower, which is located near the checkpoint Chongar in the Kherson region, reaches the suburb of Sudak in an anonymous Crimea (Source: Portal "Public Broadcasting"). http://proradio.org.ua/news/2017dec.php (via Rus DX 17 Dec via DXLD For Russia, the status of the Crimea is indisputable: it is the territory of the Russian Federation.

And the senators go, we want to (expletive) the American people this way. And then the representatives go, no we want to (expletive) them this way. SIMON: A lot of profanity. Actually, one profanity over and over is bleeped, if not redacted. But the show is also pointed and packed with information from a certain point of view, delivered with flip irreverence in what they may hope is the style of "The Daily Show," "Full Frontal With Samantha Bee" or "SNL." "Redacted Tonight" doesn't proselytize for Russia. It satirizes America. And Lee Camp can be devastating. (SOUNDBITE OF TV SHOW, "REDACTED TONIGHT") CAMP: This is the last call on the remainder of the quote, unquote, "American dream," Which has turned into a fever dream where you were already kind of sick to begin with. So you got whacked out on NyQuil. You got snot running down your face. JULIA IOFFE: It's very shrill. I mean, Lee Camp is very shrill. SIMON: Julia Ioffe, who writes critically about Putin's regime in Russia for The Atlantic and other platforms, has seen "Redacted Tonight." IOFFE: And it just - it looks like, you know, the kind of rantings that I would engage in when I was an angry 15 year old. SIMON: The U.S. Justice Department ordered RT America to register as a foreign agent last month. The BBC and Al-Jazeera, which also have American services, aren't required to register. But U.S. intelligence agencies call RT America a Kremlin-financed channel that tries to disguise its ties, and is part of what they call Russia's state-run propaganda machine. (SOUNDBITE OF SONG, "SICK, TIRED AND WASTED") ROOFTOP REVOLUTIONARIES: (Singing) We're all sick, tired and wasted. SIMON: We attended a show recording last week with little more than 20 people in the studio who laughed and cheered when prompted - but sincerely. (SOUNDBITE OF TV SHOW, "REDACTED TONIGHT") CAMP: Welcome. Welcome. I'm Lee Camp. Now, let's take the news from behind. OK. So in that last segment, I went over how the ruling elite are stealing every last dime from the American people. SIMON: Lee Camp ridiculed Republicans and Democrats and jeered U.S. support for a repressive regime in Honduras. One of the show's reporters, Naomi Karavani, did a story on a Berlin exhibit that shows how the CIA encouraged abstract art during the Cold War. (SOUNDBITE OF TV SHOW, "REDACTED TONIGHT") NAOMI KARAVANI: The CIA promoted modern art movements such as Abstract Expressionism, including artists like Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning and Mark Rothko, in contrast with the social realism of Soviet painting. And in Central America, the CIA eliminated any recognizable self-government. They created more of an abstract government. SIMON: We asked Kelly Leonard, executive producer at Chicago's Second City, simply, is "Redacted Tonight" funny? KELLY LEONARD: It is funny, but there's a problem. When you find out that it's financed by Russian television and the Russian government, you start to question what's not there. And you know what's not there? Any talking about hacking the election, any talk about, you know, Putin's misdeeds. And that's a little troubling, especially for someone who's in the satire business. SIMON: Surely, as a man of comedy, just the fact that he can make you laugh is worth a lot, isn't it? LEONARD: Yeah, absolutely. That's the troubling thing about this. There is - you know, I think comedy is a superpower. And a very smart person once said, if it can't be used for evil, it's not a superpower. And in this case, that's kind of what I feel is going on. SIMON: No one from the audience we interviewed said they missed not hearing jokes about Michael Flynn, Russian meddling or Vladimir Putin's repression. Troy Hung told us... TROY HUNG: I liked it - definitely better than talking about General Flynn - something more important that actually impacts people's lives. Now talk about the tax plan, how it's going to affect the American people. And yeah, I thought it was good. SEHA ALTURK: This is my seventh time. So I love it. SIMON: Seha Alturk and Chloe Sedlak say they're fans of "Redacted Tonight." ALTURK: I think it's the best political standup comedy in America. And I think it's better than even Russell Brand. SIMON: So you don't think of this as Russian propaganda? CHLOE SEDLAK: I was looking for that to some degree. And who can say? ALTURK: Let people say whatever they want to say. Don't label anybody. And people decide what they want to decide. SIMON: RT says no topics are off-limits on "Redacted Tonight." Lee Camp and his correspondents have full control. We asked Lee Camp for an interview but couldn't agree to his ground rules. Our exchange was professional and cordial. He said on his show last January 17... (SOUNDBITE OF TV SHOW, "REDACTED TONIGHT") CAMP: My script is not written by me. It's written every week by a group of heavily bearded Russian hackers... (LAUGHTER) CAMP: ...Living in caves in Siberia. (LAUGHTER) CAMP: Once they are done with the first draft, they pass it on to Julian Assange and the New Black Panthers, OK? (LAUGHTER) CAMP: They make a few tweaks - just a few. They then email that to a team of naked, angry, Third Wave feminists. SIMON: Julia Ioffe of The Atlantic says, despite such pointed japes, RT produces "Redacted Tonight" to assist its mission. IOFFE: There's a term called useful idiot. SIMON: But that was Lenin. IOFFE: It's apocryphally attributed to Lenin. I'm sure Lee Camp and his co-conspirators on the show have the best intentions. But they're being used for propaganda purposes. You know, it's the kind of a classic page out of the old Cold War playbook where you sponsor the people who kind of agree with your message in other parts of the world, which is, you know, you're against American imperialism. You think both parties are just as bad. You decry American actions abroad and American social injustices domestically. But the thing is the kind of underlying hypocrisy of it - which is they're not doing it for the rights and the lives of the little man or the little person. It's for Putin's power. SIMON: RT says it reaches 630 million people around the world. But that could just mean the number of people who have cable systems that carry the channel. RT segments sometimes get millions of views on YouTube, but studies show that's often sensational disaster clips, not their talk shows or "Redacted Tonight." And right-wing websites, including breitbart.com and Info Wars, have reposted some RT clips that boost Bashar al-Assad and Julian Assange. RT's actual audience in the United States has so far not been large enough to crack the rankings of cable news services, which means fewer than 30,000 people may be watching. That's not far from the average attendance at a Milwaukee Brewers baseball game. (SOUNDBITE OF HYDRUS' "QUPEX") (via DXLD) ** TAJIKISTAN.

If you sent a report on the reception, thank you, we will confirm this as soon as possible. We can only send eQSL checks when the time allows, which is not often (usually once every two / three months) - so be patient. If this is not related to QSL, we can usually respond much faster. Some happy listeners will also receive our printed QSL card, so do not forget to specify your mailing address. QSL POLICY Please note that we do not send QSL as courtesy, but only after checking your reports using our station log and 100% correct. Simply writing "conversations and music or a male voice" without mentioning the exact details (singer's name, band or song, some of the magazines mentioned in our DX show) is not enough to get QSL from the MRI. If the reception conditions are very poor or you do not know the songs that were playing or did not understand what is being said, since you do not speak the language used in our broadcast, all you need to do to get our QSL check is to send a sound clip (mp3 file) of our transmission. B-17 BROADCAST SCHEDULE In the period B-17, until March 25, 2018, the MRI is in the air as follows: On Saturdays, from 14.15 to 16.30 UTC at 7720 kHz (Alternative 7700 kHz), with a power in the range of 50-100 Watts. Please be informed that our schedule can change and broadcasts can be broadcast every six months. As usual, when this happens, a circular message is sent to all listeners on our mailing list, as well as a shortwave community. CONTENT OF BROADACSTS Our broadcasts include some programs that unfortunately are missing from most shortwave radio stations: the weekly vintage DX show in English "Italian Short Wave Panorama" (there is also the Italian version of "Panorama Onde Corte") with a lot of recent magazines, as well as mailbag show in Italian ("Casella Postale Elettronica") on air for the first Saturday of every month, with repetitions for the next broadcast in the same month.

As it turned out - this is fake news. * As it was in reality: - The very first was spread by a deza in an Internet fan of eavesdropping web receivers, in the VC Maxim Barsyanin: yesterday at 19:36 No buzzing https://vk.com/uvb76?w=wall-21131959_3691 Maxim does not know about the "Dead Zone" reception, about the passage of radio waves at night time on HF in the section 4-5 MHz! - The second (and the first of all Internet media) picked up and distributed Rosa de Rosa, first added the word to the title "Hackers": December 25, 2017, 00:59 Hackers broke the most mysterious radio station in Russia http://www.rosbalt.ru/russia/2017/12/25/1670872.html - Third distributed the deza Lenta.RU and added a link to two audio tapes Masyanya from "Dvacha": 04:16, December 25, 2017 Hackers broke the most mysterious radio station in Russia and shouted "Glory to Ukraine!" TJournal writes that approximately at 21:00 Moscow time on waves of "UVB-76", rap sounded in Russian, and then for a few minutes the cycle of shouting "Glory to Ukraine!"

(See p / l frequencies - those two recordings are completely irrelevant to the frequency of the buzzing - 4625 kHz). "HF Urohakers": https://2ch.hk/news/res/2005851.html That's the result - you need to know the propagation of radio waves on HF at night, what is on KV such a thing as "Dead Zone" and not raise in advance the boiling "the buzzing buzz went missing!" The media also "distinguished themselves" from Maxim's dezo with "VC" ... By the way, now it is very faintly audible buzzing at 4625 kHz Dutch web-receiver, where yesterday Maxim could not hear from VC and launched a dezu into VC: http://websdr.ewi.utwente.nl:8901/ On my SDR receiver, I can hear a buzz much louder (up to 9 points, there are fadingov) than on the Dutch websphere. Bearing bearing on the buzzer is old, that is, she did not move anywhere, did not change her location. Do not pay attention to the misinformation of Maxim Borsianin with the "VC" and, accordingly, on the deuce, the gossip of several Internet media outlets.
