(https://vk.com/vatan_sedasi) Sakha Republic ------------------------ * RUSSIA. 7295, Radio Sakha, via Yakutsk, 1119-1200 UTC, March 12. Thanks to Hiroyuki Komatsubara (Japan), who reported hearing them on March 2, at 0900. Have been monitoring this frequency since then, but today is the first time to hear them; moderate adjacent QRM; clearly // 7345, underneath a much stronger CNR1; music show; 1151-1155 usual series of commercial announcements; 1200 time pips; they have definitely dropped using the nice Jew's harp (khomus) IS that they formerly always played at the ToH. I certainly miss hearing this unique instrument! Nippon no Kaze signed on 7295, at 1300, in Korean, which blocked Russia and caused a mess with the two mixing together, but R. Sakha went off the air sometime after 1300, so when Furusato no Kaze ("Wind of Hometown") started at 1330, on 7295, R. Sakha had already signed off. Very nice to have a second frequency to listen to R. Sakha. Needs more monitoring to determine if this frequency will be used regularly now. 7295, Radio Sakha, via Yakutsk, 0958 UTC, March 13. Traditional indigenous singing, along with Jew's harp (khomus) music (very nice!); // 7345 (underneath CNR1); in the clear till 1000, when CRI (7290) signed on with very strong signal (Ron Howard, Asilomar State Beach, California, USA) - RUSSIA/CHINA Thanks Ron, yes its true, Radio Sakha Iakutsk is back on 2nd channel now. Tonight (Sun-Thur 2100-2400 UT) noted on 7295.0045 kHz S=8 signal heard in Tokyo and Seoul, at 2120 UT March 13, adjacent 7290 kHz CRI Xian in Korean language, 500kW powerhouse. \\ 7345even kHz Radio Sakha Iakutsk S=9+10dB, adjacent CRI Urumqi in French to Europe on 7350 kHz.

The radio station broadcasts in 40 cities of Ukraine, covering all regional centers of the country and the largest regional ones. The launch of the radio station has become a new stage in the development of the media house, which already publishes a weekly magazine Novoe Vremya and a news site NV.ua. Radio NV broadcasts speech and authoring programs daily from 7 to 22, interrupting them with news releases every 20 minutes. In all the cities, Radio NV broadcasts on the frequencies previously used by the Era FM radio station.

After listening to Viktor Tatarsky's program "Meeting with the song" on the 31.01.15, in the evening of 1.02, I found the absence of a single station. And how much I did not twist the receiver, trying to catch the signal with a magnetic antenna - in vain. Only then did I learn that Radio Rossiya is no longer on the middle waves. In the soul sat insult, a kind of betrayal. How ... why ... why .... Today, from our powerful broadcasting remained crumbs. And not even these crumbs are noticeable, but the big loaf from which they stayed. Dozens of radio centers around the country are under conservation. Antennas, transmitters .... The technology, over which the best minds of the country worked, is now out of the question and the further perspective of the radio centers of powerful broadcasting is vague. I sit, I write these lines, and the receiver is next to me. In addition to the radio station "Vesti FM" with a single transmitter in Transdniestria, our long-distance medium-wave airwaves are empty. 4 years ago the Voice of Russia was silent on the air, and there is no such radio station anymore. Who is guilty? Well, of course not radio centers. Refused broadcasters themselves, because they are asked for a price list, and money from state-owned broadcasting companies was not found. Such a paradox. Years later, I happened to be there, from where I received the first signals of radio stations to the detector receiver. I saw with my own eyes the tube giants - but alas, already silent. I was able to communicate with those who have maintained their unique equipment for many years.

(IR) HISTORY OF DX AND RADIO. ==================== History of radio communication in Siberia --------------------------------------------- Author: Andrey, R8OAG, 18.07.2000 The 7th part. ------------------ The period of 1920-1930-ies were searching for new forms of broadcasting. There were radio meetings, radio calls, radio meetings. In the mid-1920s a radio newspaper appeared. The radio newspaper for workers was broadcast daily, and the peasants' newspaper 3-4 times a week. Having existed until the end of 1932, it was replaced by the issues of "The Latest News". The 1930s became a period of ideologization of broadcasting. There was strict control, right up to repression. Directly in the building of the Novosibirsk Radio Committee was a checkpoint of the NKVD. The entire work of the radio was closely linked with the agitational and propaganda tasks of the party. Any text of the speech was previously agreed with the workers of the regional committee, the regional committee of the CPSU (b) and was authorized by the censorship bodies. The most disturbing were the years 1936-1938. According to the memoirs of the oldest speaker of the Novosibirsk Radio V.V. Litvinov, "after the transfer, individuals could come in black leather cloaks and take you away in an unknown direction." So, the announcer E.I. Goncharova "disappeared right from the studio, and returned ... only 10 years later." In 1936, the controlling authorities compiled a list of people who must be removed from work, the reason for this was their "alien" social origin. Here are some names: А.П. Bykov is a literary editor (the son of a manufacturer, a former cadet who served during the Civil War in the White Army), I.D. Kholodov - a singer (the son of a priest, served in the army of Kolchak, had relatives abroad), Yu.F. Olginskaya - editor of the self-education sector (daughter of a priest), N.I. Titov is a poet, executive editor of the "Last News" (son of a kulak), A.F. Sergeev-Larin is a choirmaster and soloist of the radio ("he does not want to sing songs of Soviet composers"), A.I. Hermann is a literary editor ("passive in the public life of the radio committee"), E.K. Strizhenova - singer (daughter of a nobleman, "refuses to sing in the Red Army circles"), V.D. Grigorovskaya - announcer, (the wife of the arrested "for sabotage in the design"), Т.М. Kotlyarevskaya - pianist, E.K. Stewart is a literary editor and N.P. Kozlovskaya is a singer, all three hereditary noblewomen. Peldem as far as he could, took away a wave of widespread repression against the collective of the radio committee. The cases were limited only to the reprimand of workers "for mistakes and mistakes". After the arrest of Peldem in June 1937, a whole wave of arrests and radio workers followed. The fate of many ended tragically. Arrested on charges of "organizing a counter-revolutionary organization on the radio" Ya.A. Peldema was convicted of creating and directing an anti-Soviet organization to prepare an assassination attempt against the leaders of the Soviet state and a coup in the country. Peldema and the worker of the radio committee A.Ya. Puna, who was in the same case, was shot. During the period from 1937 to 1938, several people replaced the chair of the committee. Since October 1933 this post was performed by Peldema, since May 1937 - Klebanov, since November 1937 Cherkas, since May 1938 - Kuzevanov, since December 1938 Bekshansky. All of the above leaders were dismissed, their fate was different. It was believed that the radio committee "is littered with anti-Soviet elements, this creates conditions for the work of fascist gangs and foreign intelligence." The Party organs collected detailed information on each radio worker: about social origin, political views, creative and professional abilities, and participation in public life. The war that began in 1941 set new tasks. In a short period, the country's radio broadcasting was rebuilt in accordance with the tasks of wartime - broadcasting was filled with propaganda, propaganda, and patriotic programs. High efficiency radio communications were distinguished (with calls for over-planned release of weapons, collection of warm things). Since mid-1941, serious steps have been taken in the region to develop radiofication and improve broadcasting. Already in the first days of the war, 50 street loudspeakers were additionally installed in Novosibirsk, cities and districts of the region. The construction of new radio nodes began, the network of radio channels expanded. During the Great Patriotic War, all radio broadcasts were transmitted only through the city wire radio network, all radio receivers were seized from the public, radio receivers were prohibited. In connection with the fact that, starting from the first days of the war, the Germans conducted active propaganda on the radio in Russian in order to demoralize Soviet people, all radio receivers were seized from the public by order of the state authorities. In the years of the Great Patriotic War, all radio broadcasts went only through the city wire radio network, radio receivers were not allowed to use the radio. Moses Yakovlevich Vortman all the years of the war was responsible for ensuring that Siberians continuously listen to the radio. First as the head of the broadcasting station RV-76, then as director of the Novosibirsk radio broadcasting network. From Wortmann's memoirs: June 22, 1941 was the first watch of engineer Dubetsky on the radio station RV-76. He called me and said that he urgently turns on the transmitter, because he was warned: there will be an important transfer. I tell him not to worry: I'll listen on the phone, and you'll control the transfer ... And Molotov's speech began. After that, I went straight to the radio station and literally from the same hour responsible programs started and the round-the-clock work began for us. In 1941, on the basis of the city radio broadcasting node, the regional directorate of radio broadcasting networks was organized, which was engaged in the development and operation of radio nodes in the region. The development of wire broadcasting in rural areas was carried out in accordance with the orders of the Ministry of Communications, the decisions of the Council of Ministers, for which compulsory radio-identification was required for villages with a population of more than 500 people, and then - more than 200 people. Since 1942, the lanes obtained by Lend-Lease American aircraft have begun. Air route "Alsib" - worked as a conveyor belt on the route Fairbanks - Uelkal - Seimchan - Yakutsk - Kirensk - Krasnoyarsk. During the years of the war, along this route, 8094 American aircraft were delivered to the front. The total length of the route is 6,500 km, of which 5,000 km across the USSR. Our station RV-76 served as a lighthouse for the overtaking of these aircraft. Weather reports transmitted over the radio were important for the pilots. There was no time for us to remain silent. In July 1941 the radio center staff was still preserved. We began to feel the lack of staff about a month later, when people began to leave for the front. The staff decreased from 150 to 90 people. The working day was increased to 14 hours. The transmitter PB-76 was quite old, powered by DC machines. The call to the army of our specialists led to the fact that there was nobody to work in the machine room of the radio station. We had to train the cleaners to operate these machines. In the autumn, the radio stations were refused coal. A team of women was assembled, they felled the forest throughout the whole winter, they were brought to the station by horses, they heated the boiler room. The residential stone house was forced to release, because it was impossible to sink it. After the card system was introduced in the country, a subsidiary farm - pigs, cows, sheep, horses - was established at the station. We planted 7 hectares of potatoes and sowed 20 hectares of oats. Therefore, all 90 people of the state received food twice a day without cards. Even before the war, the RV-76 formed a good team, mainly from young workers who graduated from the Novosibirsk Technical School of Communications. The senior technician was Mikhail Nikolayevich Sokolov. Viktor Chernyshov was in charge of the antenna business. Under his leadership during the first days of the war, 150-meter masts were grounded. We were allowed short-time trips for 2 hours a day. With these snatches, the mast-bearer Kovrigin did all the work with Chernyshov. In wartime conditions, about 65% of the volume of broadcasts were programs of socio-political broadcasting based on TASS materials. In the artistic broadcasting (24%) the recordings were performed. Despite this, the creative team of the Novosibirsk Radio Committee, basically, went through the work on live TV, since there was no corresponding record library yet. Radio's pride was the announcer's group: A.E. Belopashnikov (Zamyatin) (on the radio since 1933), A.A. Arturov (since 1935), V.S. Makarov (1929-1933), M.F. Novozhilova (1938-1952), L.P. Tokareva, V.A. Volsky. Novosibirsk speaker group in the postwar years was considered one of the most professional in the country, along with the Moscow and Leningrad. By May 1945, the structure of the radio was a carefully designed system of front and rear broadcasting. The radio provided operational propaganda for all age groups of the population, ensured the speed of information dissemination is much higher compared to printed publications. After the war, the Novosibirsk Radio Committee faced the following tasks: to continue the radiophilization of the villages and towns of the region; restore existing transmission networks; improve the quality of broadcasting; to strengthen technical control over the work of radio nodes. In 1946 in the Novosibirsk region there were 70 thousand radio points from the broadcasting nodes and about 3 thousand individual receivers. More than 50 thousand radio stations were in Novosibirsk, while the rural area was extremely poorly radiofrequered. By 1948, radio nodes in addition to Novosibirsk began to operate in all regional centers of the region. Their broadcasting network served over 80 thousand reproducers. Immediately after the war, radio was 14-15 hours of local broadcasting. After the beginning of retransmission of programs from Moscow, the broadcasting time of the Novosibirsk Radio Committee began to decline steadily every year. Even less was the broadcasting time of the regional cities of Siberia. For example, in 1948 in Tomsk local broadcasting was up to 1.5 hours, for the rest of the time (more than 15 hours) broadcasts were transmitted from Moscow. The combination of Moscow programs and small local broadcasting times was one of the main tasks in the post-war years. Transfers from the center covered all-Russian issues of life, and local programs brought listeners closer to the problems of life in the region. Broadcasting in the 1940s and 1950s was carried out not only in Russian, but also in the languages of the peoples inhabiting Western Siberia (Altai, Shor, etc.). It was at Novosibirsk Radio that for the first time in the USSR a tape recorder was used. Technician K.I. Sapozhnikov used the captured German field tape recorder. He not only renovated it, but also recorded an opera at the Novosibirsk Opera and Ballet Theater, and then broadcast it. In the postwar period, hundreds of people were involved in radio amateurs - the production of detector receivers. In these years, a rare family did not have a radio or radio. Novosibirsk radio broadcasting had its own peculiarities, which was first of all explained by the distance from the center and the difference between the time zone and Moscow. In the direction of Siberia, powerful radio stations broadcast daily transmissions from Moscow, beginning at 03:00 am Moscow time. Every day the Novosibirsk Radio Committee received airmail for the broadcasts of the All-Union Radio, prepared for use in local broadcasting. Just a day in Novosibirsk, broadcasting was conducted within 10 hours. Local programs are about 1/4 of the total volume of broadcasting. Monthly in the 1950s, 14-15 radio performances, operas and 10-12 concerts of artists of opera and drama theaters were broadcast on Novosibirsk radio. The programs on Stakhanovites and rationalizers in industry and agriculture became regular. Most of the radio programs were frankly propagandistic, aimed at implementing regular party decisions, popularizing the leaders of the Soviet state. Nevertheless, many programs dealt with topical issues, were interesting to radio listeners. (http://r9o.ru/?p=4400) HANDBOOK =========== Russia. -------------- World radio network.

He is able to respond to simple questions that a person asks him, for example, about weather or count the number of days left before Easter or Christmas. If the equipment is connected to Spotify or Amazon Prime Music, it also can include music. A smart speaker will set the alarm and can > with his brother. It can be used as a telephone and intercom and as a control panel for other smart home appliances. For example, in England, already 14% of homes are equipped with smart-speakers, and in the US this figure reaches 18%. Under forecasts, within three years such 75% of homes and apartments will be equipped with devices and will become as ordinary household appliance like TV or refrigerator. http://www.radio.cz/en/rubrika/radiogazeta/aleksa-soobshchit-vse-poslednie-novosti-radio-praga-po-anglijski-i-nemecki (Dmitry Kutuzov, Ryazan, Russia / "deneb-radio-dx") 73!
