Turkey has blocked the website of Firat News Agency and believes it is linked with the PKK. Radyoya Dengê Welat appears to have replaced Dengê Kurdistanê (Voice of Kurdistan) on shortwave. It broadcasts in various Kurdish dialects and targets Kurdish listeners mainly in Turkey.

We missed usual meeting organiser, Mike Barraclough, and send him our best wishes for a full recovery. In Mike's absence, Chris Greenway hosted the meeting which covered a variety of broadcasting topics. Chris then introduced us to the Shortwave Radio Audio Archive (SRAA) whose aim is to be a place where shortwave radio enthusiasts can store, archive and share their radio recordings with the world. Established by Thomas Witherspoon, the first recording was uploaded in December 2011 and there are now many historic and current recordings accessible from the site. You can also upload your own shortwave recordings; the procedure is simply explained on the website at: https://shortwavearchive.com/ We listened to some of the archived recordings, firstly off-air recordings from December 1977 and January 1978 of Radio Moscow news bulletins (announcing 201 and 227 metres) with news of the Soyuz 26 space mission. These recordings were made by self-proclaimed "space- flight nut" Colin Anderson who made daily Radio Moscow MW recordings during the mission on reel-to-reel tape which have now been digitised and uploaded to SRAA. And current recordings of Radio Guinea on 9650 kHz and All India Radio New Year Special (on 31st December 2017) were also played. Thomas has also founded a separate related site which digitally preserves and preserves [sic] recordings of whole parts of the radio spectrum: a time capsule of radio which can be tuned today as if you were tuning the bands years ago! Most spectrum recordings were made using software defined receivers (SDRs) from 2005 onwards, but there are some earlier spectrum recordings made using HiFi VCRs dating back to 1986.

(Glenn Hauser-OK-USA, hcdx and dxld March 13) RUSSIA/USSR History of radio communication in Siberia. {7th part} interesting detail, wb.: "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." 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: ?.?. 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"), ?.?. 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.

Today, nearly 26 years after the dissolution of the Soviet Union, its past employees, still living in their original residences, are trapped in a time warp 24/07/2017 - Thoma Sukhashvili (Originally published by Chai-Khana.org ) Fifty kilometers north of Tbilisi lies a mysterious settlement without a name or place on an official map. Locals simply refer to it as Transmitter Station Number 5. In the early 1950s, over 100 people were reportedly moved here secretly from all over the Soviet Union with the sole purpose of preventing radio broadcasts considered anti-Soviet from reaching the Caucasus. These included the BBC, Voice of America, Radio Liberty, Voice of Israel, Deutsche Welle, Vatican Radio, as well as those socialist outlets that were critical of the USSR, such as Albania's Radio Tirana and China's Radio Beijing. Transmitter Station Number 5 was one of many secret, radio-jamming facilities throughout the USSR. Today, nearly 26 years after the dissolution of the Soviet Union, its past employees, still living in their original residences, are trapped in a time warp; their role as stalwart "guardians" against enemy propaganda now a thing of the past. Mostly communication specialists and radio engineers by training, the station's employees essentially lived in isolation. A single mailbox (Mailbox Number 22) was their only way to communicate with the outside world. Guards controlled access to their fenced-in workplace. Although the workers were allowed to leave their settlement, they were not encouraged to do so. The settlement provided everything from a pre-school to a movie theater to ensure that the station's employees had everything they needed without having to leave. They also were entitled to excursions and vacations several times a year -- all strictly supervised, yet free of charge The settlement was isolated not only physically, but also politically. The station received orders directly from Moscow. According to former employees, most officials in Georgia were not even aware of its existence. The employees followed a specific program schedule to jam the relevant radio broadcasts. In 1953, when Radio Liberty, a US government-funded broadcasting outlet targeting the Soviet Union, began operations and opened a Georgian-language service, the Soviet Union stepped up its game. The transmitter station started to serve not only as a censor, but also broadcast regular Soviet radio programs to Tbilisi-area audiences. Under no circumstances were the employees supposed to listen to the "anti-Soviet" radio broadcasts they intercepted. Today, however, most of those still living at Transmitter Station Number 5 confess they yielded to the temptation. Stations like Transmitter Station Number 5, however, managed to jam about 40 to 60% of Western radio broadcasts, estimated Ilia State University Professor Oleg Panfilov, who teaches the history of censorship and propaganda. Soviet-made shortwave radios, introduced in the 1960s, assisted the interference. [HOW??? gh] Nonetheless, information from Western radio broadcasts sometimes did manage to get through, recounted Panfilov, who recalls heading into the mountains of his native Tajikistan as a schoolboy to pick up the "enemy voices." Soviet dissidents created a handwritten bulletin from the notes of people who had heard parts of these programs. Arrests for such activities were not uncommon. In the era of glasnost, those obstacles began to disappear. Jamming of foreign broadcasts ended in late 1988. After the collapse of the USSR three years later, Georgia's Transmitter Station Number 5 only served as a regular radio transmitter station. It was later demolished and turned into a training center for the Free University, a private institution founded by the late State Minister for Reform Coordination Kakha Bendukidze. Former station employees, who still lived in the adjacent settlement, claim that they received no notice about the destruction of their onetime workplace. Today, the roughly 50 families living at the site complain that the Georgian government ignores them entirely, leaving them isolated and without their former benefits. To receive social-welfare benefits, they want local officials to recognize their settlement as a village or to let it become part of the nearby village of Bazaleti. Chkonia Afraniki, 80, Former Equipment Supplier "I came to work at the station right after my studies at Tbilisi's Institute of Radio Communications. I spent most of my life here and even married a colleague. When the Transmitter Station opened, the first employees were mostly from Russia, Ukraine and the Baltic states. They had a rigorous academic and work background and were brought in to train young professionals from Georgia. At some point, I, too, was given the opportunity to further study in Moscow. In fact, at the time, we were often taken to Moscow and Leningrad for various workshops. Most of the first employees [and] trainers left Georgia within about three years. However, some stayed and even got married here. The transmitter [later] employed over 100 people in total from various parts of Georgia and the Soviet Union. Most of them stayed here for good." Tsira Chkhikhvadze, 75, Former Radio Technician "Working at the transmitter station was a huge responsibility. Our work was strictly controlled. The station itself was right next to the settlement, but going there required extra security checks. I remember one time the local secretary of the [Communist Party's] district committee visited us and even he did not know about what exactly our work entailed. None of us have ever had any photographs taken at work because it was forbidden. That said, we often went for workshops, excursions and vacations elsewhere . . . It's a pity that today our hard work in this isolated place remains completely unacknowledged. Our current pension program [180 laris, or about $74, per month -- ed] does not take into consideration the number of years we have worked . . . anyway, who would have imagined that such a time [as today] would have come?" Aza Samniahsvili, 84, Former Senior Accountant "I still remember my very first day at work. It was September 9, 1955. I started out as a communications specialist, but later worked in various positions, including as an accountant. We had a wonderful life. We never had to leave the settlement. Everything was here -- a preschool, an elementary school, a movie theater, a hospital, a shop. Now everything is in ruins . . . Although listening to the enemies' news was out of bounds, we still managed to listen in at times. It was really hard to both hear something and prevent others from hearing it, too. If we had been caught, we would have received strict warnings and our salaries would have been lowered for that month." Dato Dolishvili, 53, Former Shifts Manager "I was actually born in this settlement. From a very young age, I always knew that this was not an ordinary village . . . My mother worked at the station and, eventually, I also became an employee there. After the break-up of the Soviet Union, the station continued to function as a transmitter of regular broadcasts. I remember that in the '90s, when the civil war first started in Tbilisi, [then Georgian President] Zviad Gamsakhurdia had to hide in a bunker. Although Radio Center in Tbilisi was occupied by the opposition military forces that were against him, they did not know about [the station's] existence. But Gamsakhurdia did. He sent a recording of a New Year's address for us to broadcast." (via DXLD) ** INDIA [non].

Just as you also noted, not trace of Kamchatka. What I did hear seemed to be IBRA Media, Radio Sadaye Zindagi, via Al Dhabayya (there can be no mistaking that for Radio Rossii Kamchatka!!). Russian elections to be held this Sunday (March 18), so why are they not doing their special election broadcasting? Strange. Perhaps Anatoly Klepov (RUS-DX), et al., can explain? (Ron, California, March 16, WOR iog via DXLD) Greetings Anatoly, from California. Perhaps you or some other Russian DXers can explain what has happened to Radio Rossii Kamchatka, on 5940 kHz? Back in February it was clearly heard before their 0300 UT sign off, but the last few days there is now no trace of Kamchatka on 5940 at that time. Have they already ended their special election broadcasting? Changed schedule? Or what? My understanding is that the Russian elections are be held this Sunday (18 March), so why are they not doing their special election broadcasting now? Any comments or observations you would care to make would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Best regards, (Ron, cc to DXLD) Hi Walt, Sent off an inqury to Anatoly Klepov (Rus-DX), asking what was happening with Radio Rossii Kamchatka, on 5940 kHz. His reply below, which basically indicates the situation is unknown. Ron. "Thanks for your letter. About Radio Russii-Kamchatka. Officially there is no information on the broadcasting of the station at a frequency of 5940 kHz on the site of the station. Listeners - lovers of long-distance reception, listened to the station, but not constantly. In the Far East and Western Siberia, unfortunately there are no active DX-ers, which monitors the work of the radio station. Earlier on the SW in the region of Siberia and the Far East the station broadcast on short waves, when there were extreme circumstances - floods (in the spring) or fires (summer) on a large territory. I think, now the broadcast is connected with the presidential elections in Russia, which will be held on March 18. Will the station on the air after the elections can not say, since there is no information about this. In the new - A18 Updated Operational Transmission Schedule: http://www.hfcc.org/data/a18/index.phtml about the frequency of 5940 kHz there is no data. This is all that is known so far.

On the territory of the radio station there are several tens of masts with a height of about 110 m. Geographical coordinates: 54 ° 55'27 "N, 82 ° 51'23" E. Specialization of radio station No. 5 was radio broadcasting in the HF-range to foreign territories. It allowed to provide reception of "Voice of Russia" in the territory of the southeast countries: India, China, Japan. In 1980, HF broadcasting transmitters were modernized. To increase the radiated power and the coverage area, the transmitters operate to add power to the air. The total power of the transmitters is now 500 kW. In the early 1950's, there was an active reconstruction of existing and construction of new enterprises in the radio industry. In the mid-1950s the Berdsky radio factory switched to the production of a new model of receivers and radio "Baikal". http://www.rw6ase.narod.ru/00/rl_l/baykal.html (there are a lot of photos) Radio "Baikal" was developed at the Leningrad Plant. Kozitsky at the end of 1954. After the production of the pilot batch, the production of the receiver was transferred to the Berdsky radio plant, where together with the radio of the same name, it was serially produced in November 1956. The receiver is a six-lamp superheterodyne operating in the following bands: DV 2000 ... 723 m, SV 577 ... 187 m, KV, in two sub-bands 75.9 ... 40 m and 36.3 ... 24.8 m and VHF band 4.66 ... 4 , 11 m (64-72 MHz). The receiver has a timbre adjustment for bass, treble, and AGC. The maximum output power of ULF is 2W. The range of reproduced sound frequencies when receiving FM is 100 ... 7000 Hz, with reception in AM - 100 ... 4000 Hz. Power consumption from the electric network 55 W, weight 11 kg. The price of 72 rubles. The design of the Baikal radiometer, in addition to the installed EPU and the modified case, is similar to the receiver. In the radio, the range of reproduced frequencies when playing records and when receiving on the VHF band has expanded to 80 ... 8000 Hz. The weight of the radio is 19 kg. The price is 87 rubles 95 kopecks. At the beginning of the 1960s, radio broadcasting of 20 districts of the Novosibirsk Region was completed. In 1961, there were already 687 radio nodes, feeding 343,600 radio stations. For comparison, we give the indicators of neighboring regions. In 1965, in the Kemerovo region, on average, one person received 14 radio contacts, in Irkutsk and Tomsk regions - 10, Novosibirsk and Omsk - 5-6. 1967 - The radio center No. 9 is put into operation. The radio center is located 80 km to the north-east from Novosibirsk, near the settlements of Raduga and Oyash. It is designed to provide broadcasting in DV, SV and HF bands. Geographical coordinates: 55 ° 29'16 "N, 83 ° 41'28" E Radio center No. 9. It is located near the settlements of Raduga and Oyash. It was put into operation in 1967 The radio center is made up of new generation transmitters with modern generator tubes, with a more sophisticated cooling system, sophisticated antenna-feeder devices and the ability to switch to any antenna of a given direction. The radius of the zone of confident reception of high-power transmitters of the range DV and SV is 500-1000 km. Transmitters of the HF-range allow broadcasting in the territory of the countries of South-East Asia. In the 1960s, in the format of local broadcasts, "Radio posts report", "Our microphone has a production radio station", "We are being written", "We are answering your questions". In the 1970s and 1980s, they were replaced by "Radio Universities" - programs that covered problems in industry, in transport, in construction, and in agriculture. In 1974, Novosibirsk introduced three-wire wire broadcasting: installed transmitters for 2 and 3 programs. Residents of 3 settlements (Novosibirsk, Krasnoobsk, Pashino) received the opportunity to listen to 3 broadcast programs - 2 Moscow and 1 local. By this time in the region there were 770 thousand radio stations, over 800 thousand individual radio receivers operated. In the early 1970s, the rapid introduction of semiconductor technology began. This largely served as an impetus to the organization and development of radio broadcasting on ultrashort waves. By this time, domestic industry has established the production of radios with a VHF band providing high-quality radio reception. ORTPTS, without much capital expenditure, was able to start transmission in the VHF band, with several programs at once - local and two central ones. All-Union radio was supplemented by the program "Mayak". In 1980 - the beginning of 1990 GTRK "Novosibirsk" was the largest media in the Novosibirsk region. The transmitter provided a 4000-kilometer zone of confident reception. 26 gears were produced. The most popular programs were "Microforum", "Meetings on Vertkovskaya". The amount of air time was over 12 hours a day. The staff included over 60 specialists, including 30 journalists. In the 1990s, the industry faced acute financial difficulties. The broadcasting station was practically conserved. The state did not have enough money to support it. The range of broadcasting has sharply decreased. Now only the nearby districts of Novosibirsk received a steady radio signal. Own radio broadcasting was reduced to 2.5 hours a day, all the rest of the time broadcast Moscow. In September 1992, the first private radio station Radio-Ermatel appeared on the 70.88 MHz in the VHF band. Following it in the 1990s, there was a rapid growth of entertainment stations in FM and VHF bands. Radio air of the city is occupied by music radio stations, information programs are almost absent. In the late 1980s, the profession of the announcer also sank into oblivion, and in the place with her the culture of purity of the Russian language was lost. Before the hosts, the task was absolutely different: not to "sow the good, the eternal," and with their conversations about nothing to fill the pauses between advertising and musical numbers. The volume of the radio advertising market in Novosibirsk at the end of 2000 was estimated at $ 42-45 thousand per month, of which more than half accounted for the FM station. At the beginning of the 21st century, 20 radio stations broadcast to the city and the region, most of which are private. And in the FM-band there are 17 of them. 2001 - Construction of a fiber optic link in the village of Oyash - Raduga, the organization of the submission of the RV programs from the Novosibirsk AMT to Radio Center No. 9 via the fiber optic communication line. Since 2002, there have been broadcasts in the Ku-band through the satellite of the program of the "Regional Broadcasting Network" to the territory of the Novosibirsk Region using the "Matveevka" CCC; Since 2005, radio programs "Regional Deputy Channel" have been broadcast via satellite. 2004 - The beginning of the experimental transmissions of digital sound broadcasting of the DRM standard in the HF- range from Radio Center No. 9 in Raduga. Years pass, centuries change, the world annually generates new creations of technological progress, and the brainchild of A.S. Popov, created almost 115 years ago, still remains with us, to please every day with the most beautiful sounds.

"Russian-language popular music," the authors believe, is what connects the most remote regions of Russia. Hits of "Russian Radio" are equally well known on both Sakhalin and Kaliningrad.

The new company will be called "Voice of China" by analogy with "Voice of America". A major television and radio company, which will broadcast outside the Middle Kingdom, will be joined by China's Central Television, China's Central Radio and China's International Radio. As the Financial Times writes, the main task of the new organization will be "spreading the theory and political line of the Communist Party of China", as well as strengthening its positions in the global information arena. https://vz.ru/news/2018/3/21/913597.html (Igor Ashikhmin, Primorskiy kray, Russia / "deneb-radio-dx") DPRK -------- On March 22, the Voice of Korea transmission in Russian began at 3:30 UTC at frequencies of 7,570 and 12,015 kHz (which are commonly used for the program in English), and the transmission in English went to "Russian frequencies" of 9425 and 6180 kHz.

Part of the radio hobby is sharing it with others. I don't accept or ask for donations of any sort. One of the things I do is give AM/FM pocket radios to the homeless. My project involves earning money from my music video. It is called "Radio." I am a turntablist. When someone watches my YouTube video, I earn money. All it takes is 3 minutes of my fellow ham's time. If you could mention my video on your social media account, it will help my cause. My call sign is KE6FBO. My alias is Peter MacQuarrie. The link to the YouTube video is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0zkB55QluHo Thank you so much for helping. This will really help. It makes a difference in a homeless person's life to know other people care. 73! Albert P McQueary. aka Peter MacQuarrie KE6FBO The new trasmission of KCR ! ----------------------------------------- Dear friends, the KCR will be back on air this coming weekend with her fourteenth transmission.
