BELARUSIAN ARMY COMMISSIONS ADVANCED RADIO JAMMING STATIONS BORISOV, 15 December (BelTA) - The first few batch-produced radio warfare stations R-934UM2 were handed over to the 10th independent radio warfare battalion of the Belarusian army in Borisov, BelTA has learned. According to Chief of the Radio Warfare Office of the General Staff of the Belarusian army Igor Danilchik, the first three R-934UM2 radio warfare stations were handed over to the army on 15 December. The new stations boast better capabilities in comparison with the old jamming stations. The new stations are made using only Belarusian hardware and software. It took five years to start producing them in lots. According to the General Staff representative, it is a small period for developing a new product. "Not every country can afford creating such equipment. The new Belarusian radio warfare stations are on par with world standards and above them in many parameters," noted Igor Danilchik. The prototype radio warfare station was tested by the 16th independent radio warfare regiment of the Belarusian army. The batch-produced equipment takes into account the remarks and proposals made in the course of the testing process. Igor Danilchik noted that more stations will be made in order to replace outdated equipment. "Three more stations are supposed to be made by summer 2018. Another two will be made in early 2019. Later on, we intend to gradually replace all the radio warfare stations with the new product," he said. Valery Gordei, Deputy Director of the Belarusian microelectronics company KB Radar, reminded that the company has been making radio warfare solutions since 2001. Since then the Belarusian army has commissioned 12 kinds of radio warfare and radio control products. R&D work was followed by government tests and prototype tests in regular army units. Remarks were taken into account to iron out all the quirks in the batch- produced equipment. On 15 December the 10th independent radio warfare battalion also accepted an R-378AM station, which had been modernized in Russia. In essence the Belarusian army received a brand new piece of equipment, which exceeds its own pre-upgrade parameters by several times. Chief of the General Staff of the Belarusian army Oleg Belokonev, First Deputy Chairman of the State Military Industrial Committee of Belarus Igor Demidenko and other officials took part in the ceremony. The ceremony was timed to Radio Warfare Specialists Day (really!), which will be celebrated by the Belarusian army on 16 December.

On the first day of the New Year, 2018, two completely different Internet radio stations start their work: "Grindoteka". http://grindoteka.ru "Look Inside". http://lookinside.xyz The Grindoteka channel will continue to offer listeners the following musical genres, such as grindcore, cristgrind, powerwave, nozkrast, old school punk, chaotic hardcore, including experimental, unexpected musical blocks like avant-garde black, industrial-techno or gloomy psi-trance. Unusual, "unofficial" for the transfer of the group appeared on air earlier, but only now, in a new format of round-the- clock online broadcasting, will be conceptually presented the most diverse, "difficult" for listening genres. In addition, the plans of the team include colloquial shows that go beyond the scope of ordinary interviews and will please listeners with the novelty of the approach, preserving the traditions of Grindoteki. Listeners of "Look Inside" are also waiting for music that is far from the easiest to listen to - even more shocking, brain-blowing avant- jazz compositions, "indie" of all stripes, absolutely unquantifiable "psychedel" and experiment, unique ethnic musical phenomena and a truly intimidating bloc Russian "avant-garde" - despite the formal "non-extremism" of these genres, a substantial part of the air can "do" to the neighbors no less mental harm than the "Grindoteka", and is designed for a prepared (or very brave) listener, so that the project team will regularly publish valuable cognitive materials about little-known genres, informative interviews and news from the world of underground music, including special materials available only for permanent listeners. http://obob.tv/radioveshhanie/v-internete-startuyut-srazu-dve-radios/ (RusDX 7 Jan via DXLD) ** TAJIKISTAN. 4765 kHz Radio Tajikistan: 0040 UT Music local Tajikistan 0050 UT Music Culture Tajikistan Day 09 January 2018 SINPO 23222 QRM of CODAR (DXer: Daniel Wyllyans - Nova Xavantina - Mato Grosso - Brasil, Jan 10, Hard-Core-DX mailing list via DXLD) 7245.000, This Tajik Radio in 14-16 UT slot is real on even frequency, Tajik language program.

"KOROTKIE VOLNY" ("SHORT WAVES"). ---------------------------------------------------- Radio is the first widely used means of communication of people, on short waves, thanks to the wireless transmission of information, it was possible to report news to any point of the planet. Since its inception many years have passed, but it still remains an ordinary phenomenon present in our life. Equipment is changing, people, stories, radio waves are unchanged and their frequency too. The film "Short Waves" was shot on five short novels. It shows the irreplaceable role of shortwave radio as a reliable communication tool, the value of which we sometimes do not notice or understate. Due to the simplicity of its work, as soon as it became possible to mass purchase the simplest receivers, people tried to get in touch with extraterrestrial civilizations, send a friendly signal with the coordinates of the location. What can we say about ordinary mortals, regularly, like hypnotized, including a favorite FM in the car. Yes, there are many other gadgets now, progress can not be stopped. But all this until the Internet and television were switched off. We are hostages of the usual means of communication. What will remain after the nuclear explosion: cockroaches, radio and eternal rock and roll. In a simple town, the place of attraction is the city radio. A lot of destinies intertwined by different life circumstances direct attention to it in order to solve the existing problems. All the characters in the film have different goals. Some people dream of becoming famous, others - to receive an instrument of influence on society, others - are recognized as beloved, there are also those who came from cynical considerations. In each episode the radio station plays a key role, acting as a kind of litmus test of the society.

RUSSIAN TV STATION REJECTS U.S. ACCUSATIONS OF INTERFERENCE http://plenglish.com/index.php?o=rn&id=23009&SEO=russian-tv-station-rejects-u.s.-accusations-of-interference Moscow, Jan 8 (Prensa Latina) The chief editor of the TV station Russia Today (RT), Margarita Simonian, today rejected accusations of Russia's alleged interference and, least of all, by that media organization in the internal affairs of the United States. When commenting on stories that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is looking for information about Russia's alleged interference in the 2016 presidential election, Simonian asked the U.S. TV channel CBS if they believed that themselves. Yes, because you believed and published that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction, the main justification to attack that country in March 2003, without approval by the United Nations Security Council, she stressed. You can hold the belief that Russia interfered in the 2016 presidential election, but in about five years it will be made public that it never happened, pointed out the RT chief editor, who was quoted here by local television. The United States admitted, more than a decade later, that it followed little reliable information to say that Iraq still had weapons of mass destruction, although it tried to justify its military presence with the need to impose democracy there. Simonian strongly denied RT's alleged influence on the victory of Republican President Donald Trump. We should have bet and supported Hillary Clinton, she said jokingly. At the same time, she charged that several French and British media organizations joined in some extent U.S. media in their open support for Clinton, without being accused of interfering in internal affairs. jg/tgj/to/gdc (PreLA [CUBA, as if objective news could come from there], via Mike Cooper, DXLD) ** RUSSIA [and non]. FOREIGN SPIES ARE WATCHING - AND PROBABLY TARGETING - FOX NEWS CHANNEL By Aki Peritz January 10 Follow @akiperitz Aki Peritz is a former CIA counterterrorism analyst and coauthor of "Find, Fix, Finish: Inside the Counterterrorism Campaigns that Killed bin Laden and Devastated Al Qaeda." President Trump watches Fox News constantly. Which means foreign spies probably do, too. (Rebecca Cook/Reuters) [caption] The Associated Press recently reported that Russian intelligence has been aggressively and actively trying to compromise journalists across the globe. Media personalities were the third-largest group on the list of people Russian operatives tried to hack, after diplomatic personnel and Democrats, according to the cybersecurity firm Secureworks. Penetrating media circles seems to be worth the effort for certain nations. Such intelligence-focused efforts are amoral - operatives go where the relevant data is. Foreign services are working every day to better understand America's next moves. Others are trying to covertly influence U.S. foreign policy. But resources are finite. More personnel on one target means fewer on another. So if I were a spymaster in the employ of a hostile foreign service, I'd devote some significant effort to penetrating one specific private institution: Fox News Channel. . . https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/posteverything/wp/2018/01/10/foreign-spies-watching-and-probably-targeting- fox-news-channel/ another excerpt: . . .For Russian intelligence, a systematic effort to threaten, coerce and co-opt journalists is a decades-old practice.

Until recently, the South Korean corporation remained one of the few large companies that supplied smartphones with a decontaminated FM radio chip. In the modern world, FM radio has gone into the background, as in many countries various music streaming services like Spotify and Apple Music are widely distributed. In this regard, some manufacturers programmatically deactivate the chip of receiving an FM signal (most likely, that it does not consume energy). However, FM radio is useful on site with a poor internet connection. In addition, it is simply necessary in emergency situations - in cases where the work of cell towers is broken. Last year there was a small scandal between the US government and Apple Corporation on this topic. The presence of an active FM radio chip is some guarantee that Samsung will leave a 3.5 mm jack in its smartphones, as wired headphones serve as an antenna for receiving an FM signal. However, the company can still refuse a headset with a mini-jack in favor of headphones with a USB Type-C connector. trashbox.ru (http://onair.ru/main/enews/view_msg/NMID__68056/) RADIO PROGRAM AND RECORDS. ================================= Russia.
