(Ron Howard, listening at Asilomar State Beach (near Monterey), California) * Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor, Ralf Bender, who writes: Here a link to a German radio station website, which yesterday released that a Russian broadcaster is back on air. In times when many broadcasters/stations are closed [this is] good news. Here there original German website: https://www.radioeins.de/programm/sendungen/medienmagazin/radio_news/beitraege/2018/kamtschatka.html And here with automatic Google translation: Kamchatka on shortwave According to the broadcasting companies of the republics Adygea and Sakha, in the Russian Federation, a third broadcaster is again active on shortwave: the GTRK Kamchatka from Petropavlovsk. Sent for each two hours from 8.00 and 13.00 clock local time on the frequency 5940 kHz.[...] The transmission to 5940 kHz compensates the omission of the long wave 180 kHz. Like all others, it had been shut down at the beginning of 2014 by long-wave and shortwave recordings that had previously been recorded on the account of the All-Russian State Broadcasting Corporation (WGTRK). Thus, the radio coverage ended outside the areas reached by the FM stations.[...] The article also includes the following reception video from a DXer in Asia: Click here to view on YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5eNBsBg41SI&feature=youtu.be Thanks for the tip, Ralf! Perhaps some of our Russian readers can shed some light on this development? Please comment!

Somewhat distorted signal at strong level. Wonder whether his is due to a cochannel, but all I can see on the Perseus waterfall is a smeared signal over almost 80 Hz (the carrier, that is). Not in Russian, but Yakutian language with a discussion. (Walt Salmaniw-BC-CAN, on Masset-BC-CAN mini exp. via DXplorer Feb 2 - 5) RUSSIA 5940 kHz, Radio Rossii Kamchatka, assume via the Yelizovo transmitter site on the Kamchatka peninsula; at 0240-0300* UT on Feb 14. Very poor reception, with QRM from what sounded like IBRA Media, Radio Sadaye Zindagi, via Al Dhabayya-UAE; OM & YL chatting (in Russian?); 0259 UT music. Positive "Radio Rossii" IDs before and after 0300 UT time pips, so I presume this was "Radio Rossii Kamchatka," as it fits their former schedule. The 0300* UT cut off happened in mid-sentence. Have been monitoring this due to recent reports of Kamchatka testing here, made by Hiroyuki Komatsubara (Japan) and Dave Valko (USA). Thanks also for the assistance of Mauno Ritola (Finland). Re: Russia - Radio Rossii Kamchatka on 5940 kHz. Thanks very much to Hiroyuki-san, et al., for this additional info, confirming it was Radio Rossii Kamchatka that I heard. Ron "Audio sounded like as : "Kamchatskaya radio prodolzhit' svoyu rabotu (maybe "time" annmt.). A seychas slushayete Radio Rossii." mean : "*Kamchatka radio* to continue its work at (maybe "time"). And now you are listening to Radio of Russia." Thanks to Japanese DXer: K.INOUE and KONSU !! I referred to their advice.

It is interesting. ------------------ Radio Yerevan Political jokes were one of the favorite entertainments of Romanians in the years communist regime. However, by no means were they specifically Romanian. Political jokes were met in all former communist countries, many of them being common in the former socialist camp, with some local changes. The most delicious came from the Soviet Union and they were designed to reduce tensions in people's lives through laughter over everyday difficulties. Political anecdotes represented various comically ridiculous situations in which the characters were ordinary people, repressive organs of the state, political leaders of that time of the reference to actual events. The hero of Romanian political anecdotes until 1989 was Citizen Boule, who was introduced as an idiot who did not understand reality and interpreted it the way he did it saw. However, the character of political anecdotes is almost as popular as Boulle was Radio Yerevan, a radio station that responded with black humor to hypothetical malicious questions posed by its listeners. Anecdotes from Radio Yerevan was short and sharp and caused laughter. One of the most common jokes and in other former socialist countries was the following: We asked the historian Eduard Antonian became well-known in Romania radio station in the capital of Armenia. "Radio Yerevan was a form of dissidence, even in the former Soviet Union. Most of the anecdotes had a clear political background. It was kind of laughter over the black present. In the famous anecdote on Radio Yerevan it was said that the zebra is an ass, who told political jokes, and stripes on it is the prison uniform in which the donkey was dressed. I remember that in the 90's years, after Armenia gained independence, Bucharest arrived Director of Radio Yerevan and he did not know why in Romania is famous radio station, which he headed. When he landed at the airport, Romanian frontier guards asked him what he was doing, and he replied that is the director of Radio Yerevan. Everyone started to laugh and he did not understand, why they laughed at him. And the border guards asked him to tell a few anecdotes, since he is the director of Radio Yerevan. In the Soviet Union, just like in any other country, clichés functioned for each nation in particular, as well as in every country stereotypes about the regions. Edward Antonyan believes that Radio Yerevan was chosen as a character for political anecdotes because of the so-called the ability of Armenians to have a keen spirit. Radio Yerevan also created local versions of its stinging style. Romanian. An example is the anecdote that Nicolae Ceausescu spoke a lot and could not be interrupted. Edward Antonian said that there were also local versions, but also that the jokes became non-political. And he answers: Political anecdotes with the character of Radio Yerevan amused generations of eastern Europeans until 1989. Their relevance disappeared over time time, but their charm is preserved. http://www.rri.ro/en_ru/%D0%A0%D0%B0%D0%B4%D0%B8%D0%BE_%D0%95%D1%80%D0%B5%D0%B2%D0 % B0% D0% BD-2576253 (via Dmitry Kutuzov, Ryazan, Russia / "deneb-radio-dx", via Rus-DX 18 Feb via DXLD) ** BELARUS.

"The radio has already started broadcasting at http://s13.ru/radio and on the first day of launch we saw the demand for such a format. For now, the average number of listeners online is 100 people, the main audience is still Grodno, because we mainly offer local news" - said Sergei Chabotko, administrator of "Grodno's Blog", on the basis of which the radio was launched. The creators of the bot-radio stressed that their product is not just a looped musical playlist with pre-recorded interruptions between tracks, but full-fledged automated broadcasting with news, weather forecast, currency rates, congestion in the streets of Grodno and even a music chart for the listeners' orders. The boat radio broadcasts completely automatically in the form of templates, which repeat the broadcasting of classical radio stations.

In 2017, the number of complaints and applications for interference to radio reception increased by more than one-third: interference was confirmed in half of the cases. Roskomnadzor together with the radio frequency service conducts systematic work with complaints and applications for interference with radio reception. According to the reporting data, in 2017 the total number of received requests for interference increased by 36% compared to the previous year (the total number of 5 105). The presence of an interference effect was confirmed in about half the cases. More than 80% of complaints are related to interference from cellular base stations, security alarm devices, low-power radio stations. The main cause of interference in more than 50% of cases is the violation of the rules for the use of radio frequencies. Also among the reasons - violation of operating conditions of RES, work of RES with deviation of radiation parameters from established norms and requirements. The main typical situations of interference are related to the violation of the rules of operation when using repeaters, cellular blockers, uncertified DECT telephones, broadband access tele- and radio equipment that do not require obtaining authorization documents. In all confirmed cases of interference, measures were taken to eliminate them.

You can see here - http://rusdx.blogspot.ru/2018/02/blog-post_17.html History of radio communication in Siberia --------------------------------------------- Author: Andrey, R8OAG, 18.07.2000 The fourth part. ------------------ Until the mid-1920s, radio broadcasts throughout the country were conducted irregularly, in an experimental fashion. The beginning of broad radio broadcasting in the country is considered to be October 12, 1924, it was then that regular radio broadcasts began through the Moscow stations named after Popov and the "Comintern". The first experimental radio broadcast for the general public in our country took place on September 17, 1922. At this time in the settlements located within a radius of 3000 km from Moscow, they could listen to the first radio concert. Radio transmissions were received mostly by homemade detector detectors. In 1922 a great interest was born in radio broadcasts and amateur radio activity among the population: radio clubs began to open in clubs, schools, universities, the radio receiver Kristadin, designed by engineer Losev, appeared. This device made a sensation: it was compact, convenient, simple. Making the simplest detector receivers has become a craze. Both old and small, wearing headphones, were picking a wire in the crystal of lead gloss, trying to find the right point. And when it succeeded, the voice of the announcer arose in the headphones, or the music sounded - magic happened ... July 28, 1924 was adopted by the USSR Council of People's Commissars "On private radio stations". For the first time, Soviet citizens were allowed to purchase radio receivers for personal use. Prior to this, radios could have only state and public organizations. By the end of 1924, volunteer societies of radio friends (SDTs) appeared all over the country. They were created to promote the ideas of radio broadcasting, to popularize radio technical knowledge among the population, and to participate in radiofication. In 1925 SDR appeared in Novonikolaevsk (Secretary V. Petrov). *** In 1924, Sibrevkom decided to create a network of radio stations in Novonikolaevsk and in the district cities. For Novonikolayevsk, the transmitter "RV-6" was manufactured, the cost of which, together with construction and installation works, was estimated at 65,000 rubles. In principle, the Siberians were lucky: the original transmitter RV-6 was ordered for Sverdlovka, but when it was already ready, the Urals did not manage to redeem it - and he was sent to Novosibirsk. The transmitter was assigned to serve Siberia as a regional broadcasting station. The range of its action "was guaranteed during the 7 winter months when it was received by a simple detector receiver at a distance of up to 300 kilometers, and on a tube receiver with an amplifier of 4 lamps - up to 1000 kilometers." Station RV-6-type, on the device very simple, two cascades in the transmitter. Engine compartment with rectifier, powered transmitter. In 1926, the RV-6 arrived in Novosibirsk. It was decided to install it on the receiving and transmitting radio station of the People's Commissariat for Communications, near the Altai station, which is on the outskirts of the city, releasing the bathroom room for him. We erected a 46-meter mast near the house, made of wired logs connected together by wire. We hoisted the mast with winches by the whole team. For the handle of the winch took head. radio station Iakinf Iakinfovich Nikonov, engineers Vladimir Alekseevich Petrov (formerly serving in the Tomsk radio division) and Lev Lvovich Doroshinsky, engineer Zakharov from Moscow, all the same seamen-radiotelegraphists, among whom were Ivan Andreevich Voronov, Mikhail Arkhipovich Sheptunov, Mikhail Petrovich Verbitsky. The mast was fixed with cable- stretchers. The studio of the broadcasting station was designed immediately in the center of the city - in the House of Lenin. To broadcast studio programs and opera productions, it was necessary to connect the studio with the transmitter room and the Sibgosoperoy (now the building of the theater "Red Torch") with a special wire line. The studio consisted of two rooms separated by a soundproof partition: hardware and broadcast. In the broadcasting room the walls were plentiful with a soft drapery cloth. There was a narrative table, above it hung a large coal microphone. In the studio there was a gramophone with a large bell and a piano. In 1925, when the construction of the House of Lenin was just beginning, it was assumed that this building would have a super-powerful film projector, through which it would be possible to project a light newspaper onto the clouds so that the news would be visible to the whole city. This fantastic project, as you understand, has not been implemented. In August 1926, the weak current trust, which installed the RV-6 broadcasting transmitter with a capacity of 4 kW, finished the commissioning work. The first test inclusion of the transmitter was at the end of August. Radio amateurs tuned receivers to the wave 1117m first heard in the headphones: "Hello, hello, listen! Attention! Says Novosibirsk! Workers of all countries unite! And the melody of the International sounded. August 25, 1926 the first test broadcast was broadcast. It began with the words of the announcer: "Listen, listen! Says the first Siberian broadcast radio station RV-6 with an antenna power of 4 kW. " To be honest, the name "The First Siberian .." was not true. In reality, the first, though very low-power, working only on the city, the radio station was opened in Tomsk in 1924. During the testing of the station, a good audibility of the transmission was recorded not only in Siberian cities, but even in Baku, 3,000 km distant from Novosibirsk. On August 31, 1926 the radio station was put into operation, and on September 5 it began regular broadcasting. The head of the radio station was appointed I.I. Novikov, technical director - radio telegraphist of the Baltic Fleet II. Nikonov. the head of the artistic and musical part of the studio of M.Ya. Kramer, director of the Sibgosoper. In total, the staff of the radio station included 6 people.

As a rule, modern mass models of radio receivers are based on a superheterodyne scheme with a single frequency conversion. Let's remember how it works. For a better understanding, you should know that most of the circuit of such receivers is an "old and kind" direct amplification receiver! It is an amplifier tuned to a constant radio frequency (455, 465 or 500 kHz), a detector, an audio amplifier (previously referred to as a "low frequency amplifier"), an automatic gain control (AGC) system. All these elements of the circuit are the receiver of direct amplification. Advantages and disadvantages of superheterodyne The circuits tuned to a constant frequency (455, 465 or 500 kHz) provide a good reception bandwidth for the adjacent channel. Ie, the neighboring station is weakened and does not interfere with the reception. And the circuits themselves are tuned once in the factory by the cores of the coils with constant capacitors. An amplifier with such a relatively low frequency is more resistant to self-excitation and provides a good gain. But! The trouble is that very few people will be interested in taking one frequency ... :-) Therefore, a low-power frequency tunable frequency generator, a high-frequency oscillator (the so-called "local oscillator") and a mixer are added to the direct gain receiver, which mixes: a) the signal from the local oscillator and b) signals from the antenna. Sometimes a local oscillator and a mixer are made with just one radio lamp or one transistor. For us, it is important that as a result of the mixing of signals, the difference in signals is obtained. And when this difference is, say, 465 kHz, the signal is further processed by the direct gain receiver. Note that such receivers are called "superheterodyne" with a single frequency conversion. A constant, let's call it - auxiliary, the frequency of 455, 465 or 500 kHz has a common name - "intermediate frequency (IF)". Which is amplified by an amplifier of intermediate frequency (UHF). In the simplest version, the UHF is also done on one radio lamp or transistor. For example, the IF in the receiver is 500 kHz. And we want to accept the station at 1000 kHz. The heterodyne usually works higher in frequency. So, the local oscillator should work at 1000 + 500 = 1500 kHz. For it is with this tuning of the local oscillator that we get the difference of 500 kHz. But, (attention!) The difference in 500 kHz, we get the same when receiving 2000 kHz. For 2000-1500 = 500 kHz. Ie, we set the local oscillator at 1500 kHz, and we simultaneously accept 1000 kHz and 2000 kHz. This so-called. "mirror" channel of reception - curse of superheterodyne receivers. Weaken the DSL with input circuits, tuning them to 1000 kHz. But, given that the input circuits, as a rule, are slightly (1-2, sometimes 3), the mirror channel is not completely attenuated. By the way, the local oscillator has harmonics, which after conversion can also give a difference of 500 kHz. The strongest are the 2nd and 3rd harmonics, these frequencies are exactly 2 and 3 times greater than the fundamental harmonic. This calculator calculates mirror channels up to the 3rd harmonic inclusive. But, if it is necessary to calculate the "mirror" frequencies for other harmonics, or calculations for other IF values will be needed, then write ... The program will be supplemented.
