Artist Arthur Fazylov will begin work on May 7 - on Radio Day. This date was not chosen by chance, because the radio played a special role during the Great Patriotic War.

It finances the project "Road Radio Bashkortostan". Artur Fazylov is the author of many graffiti in the Bashkir capital, for example, the portrait of Natalia Kovshova.

Photo: Anna Ivanova About the radio center in the village of Sosnovy. https://realt.onliner.by/2018/04/27/radio (https://vk.com/radioby) * 65 years ago Deutsche Welle first went on air. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- At that time, the world was in a state of cold war. Today, many challenges of the past are again relevant. What place does DW occupy in this situation? "Dear and dear radio listeners and radio listeners in distant countries..." - these historical words greetings of the President of Germany Theodor Heuss (Theodor Heuss) may 3, 1953 for the first time aired radio station Deutsche Welle (DW). At that time, her task was "to acquaint listeners abroad with the political, economic and cultural picture of Germany". DW broadcast from Cologne on short waves-initially only in German. But in 1954 the first radio blocks in foreign languages were launched. In 1992, the radio added channels, and after - and the site on the Internet.... Christoph Strack, Ilya Koval, dw.com (http://onair.ru/main/enews/view_msg/NMID__69084/) * The results of the 8th DX contest "the Grand Tour Across all Continents 2017" became known" ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It was held at the end of last year. It was attended by 12 fans of short waves from 8 countries. Task was in parts of 1 make 16 countries on the list, and in part 2-any programs for DX-ists. The first three: 1. Patrick Robitsch (Austria) 2. Christian Mocanu (Romania) 3. Claudio Perdomo (Argentina) ....... and slightly behind our Alexander Berezkin who took the 4th place from St. Petersburg. From Russia there was one more participant - Vladimir Gudzenko; it in the table is located 12th. Points were awarded according to the principle: the more people accepted a particular country, the less points were given for it. The most difficult country in part 1 was Finland-KV there is only one active Scandinavian Weekend Radio, and it (unknown in what way...) we managed to listen to only one contestant. The simplest country was, oddly enough, Oman - and not South Korea or GUAM, which seems to be heard confidently around the world. Congratulations to all, regardless of the occupied places. Such activities support DX-life is in good shape :) (Dmitry Mezin, Kazan, Russia / "open_dx") * Weather on airports. -------------------------------- Comprehensive information here: http://dxinfocentre.com/volmet-wx.htm (Dmitry Mezin, Kazan, Russia / "open_dx") * The Magazine "Radio".

The history of DX and radio == WE JAMMED THEM, JAMMED THEM Dark night. Kids are sleeping. Behind the window of the Kiev apartment is the guaranteed stability of the 1970s. The information program Time has already told about the record harvesting of mixed fodder in the Non-Black Earth Region and numerous victims of the Israeli military in the Middle East. It's time for a dream. But Lyubov Gissova and her husband can not sleep. They twist the radio receiver's handle, trying to catch the right wave. Through the artificial crackling and gnashing in the air, the faint voice of Radio Free (RS) announces. The commentator from Munich reports the sad fate of Ukrainian dissidents in the USSR and the economic squalor of the Soviet system. "It was best to hear the German wave, the Roman radio. And the Voice of America was heard worse, - recalls her experience of night radio listening to Kiev. "Radio Liberty was very badly heard." Millions of Soviet citizens, including Ukrainians, like Gissova, for four decades in a row strained their ears, trying to catch voices from the West. For 40 years, Soviet power with the help of special equipment "jammed" the ethers of hostile stations. In parallel with these countermeasures, the domestic and foreign radio ether was rapidly developing in the USSR. "It was certainly propaganda broadcasting," recalls Sergei Bunin, the radio broadcaster in the past. - Radio Kiev broadcast that labor collectives reach high yields. Condemned American imperialism." By the end of the 1980s, the wave of Western radio stations had smashed the Soviet jamming systems, and with them the USSR itself. Deafness. When there was not yet developed television and there was no Internet, the information world was run by the radio. In the post-war USSR, the radio coverage of the whole country passed in a few years. Not every apartment has a telephone, not all gas, electricity or water supply, but the most primitive one-program receivers [wired, rediffusion] were installed in almost all apartments, factory shops, railway and bus stations, hospitals, nursing homes, city squares, beaches, in recreation parks. The decisions of the Central Committee of the CPSU were broadcast on the radio, the victories of socialism and the defeats of capitalism were told. Sometimes classical music sounded, radio plays were played out, and also radio assemblies of village workers, steelworkers, cultural workers took place. Broadcasting began at 6 am by the anthem of the USSR, it was completed at 24-00. In 1964, the first round-the- clock radio station Mayak appeared. Its task is to repulse the Soviet "audience" from the Western "voices". But the non-alternative radio could not satisfy the information hunger, which grew as the cardinal transformations of the second half of the 20th century grew. Immediately after the end of World War II, the Iron Curtain fell [sic] between the West and the USSR. The world entered a period of protracted "cold war", in which there was almost no direct military confrontation, but from this, the hidden "battles" between socialism and capitalism did not become less rigid. Radio waves became one of the "offensive weapons" of the American and Western European "militarism" in the fight against the USSR. On April 19, 1949, the Soviet government instructed the Ministry of Communications to suppress foreign radio stations. "This [jamming] was a vile phenomenon, illegal according to international standards," says Academician of the Academy of Communications and Engineering Sciences of Ukraine, Bunin. "The Soviet Union, of course, sneezed at all. In all regional centers, powerful transmitters [for suppressing the radio signal] were installed. " Initially, 350 stations operated on radio suppression in the USSR. Already in the 1950s - 600. Eight years later - 1660 (more than conventional broadcasting stations). Since 1953 the radio station of the homeland began to be strengthened with the help of "jamming" in Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Bulgaria, Poland, the GDR. On the other side of the barricades, the American Committee of Free Europe began building its radio network in the Old World. The programs were recorded in the US and sent to Germany, to Munich, where the headquarters of Radio Free Europe was located. The first ether here began at 11 am on May 1, 1951, a transfer to Czechoslovakia. Five hours later, an "answer" followed - the official Prague included the "jamming". March 1, 1953, on the air of the RS for the first time sounded in Russian words directed to Soviet listeners: "The radio station Liberty is speaking. Listen to us on short waves in the range of 31 meters." And the same ether was filled with radio interference. A voice from the beautiful is far away. Western "voices" in the USSR were divided according to the degree of hostility. In the first category - the "most dangerous", which was most silently jammed, except Radio Liberty and Free Europe, came the Voice of Israel and the Albanian Radio of Tirana. "Freedom had an inclination to fight the Soviet Union," Bunin said. "By the way, most of all they joked." In the second, softer, but still hostile - the British BBC, the German wave, the Voice of America, the radio of Korea and the radio of Beijing. They were jammed with electronic noise, a speech-like signal, and since 1964 - by the music-information program of Radio Mayak, the first Soviet 24-hour radio station. "I confess that I was partly engaged in anti-Soviet activities," Vsevolod Lievenstein, the legendary Seva Novgorodtsev, the leader of the Russian service of the British Air Force, is ironic. - For example, when all the rotted [construction] of the Baikal-Amur Mainline (BAM), a large BAM, I once said: "Hello from our big Ben [London Big Ben, the tower of the Palace of Westminster] to your big BAM." But not sarcastic comments, and Soviet radio listeners eagerly caught the objective information. "Our people kept silent," Bunin said. "The fact that the Americans flew around the moon I learned from Western radio stations. America tried to convince us that private enterprise is good, one-party system is bad. That we have the Gulag, the persecution of people on political views. What was the opposition of the Soviet Union? The program in which I worked part-time?" The transfer, which the Correspondent's interlocutor mentioned, is the broadcasting of Soviet radio stations to the West. At a time when US stations in 45 languages of the world broadcast 1,818 hours a week, the Soviet stations in the same week - 2,022 hours in 82 languages. Plus, the Communist allies of the USSR issued an additional 5,000 hours of ideological programs. In particular, the radio of Havana, with the help of transmitters in the territory of the Soviet Union, broadcast to Africa and Europe. "There was counter-propaganda," Bunin said. "But they did not jam us, but we jammed them." But folk craftsmen constantly found gaps in this wall of noise. Lviv radio amateur Georgy Chliyants tells the Correspondent that in those days he and his colleagues installed special quartz filters and cunning antennas to remove noise on the air. Who lacked education and skills, left to listen to "voices" in the countryside: kilometers in 20 from large settlements, the power of frequency suppression was significantly weakened. "It's impossible to score with jammers," states Chliyants. - The voice of America sounded at five or six frequencies. Heard thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions. " To help Soviet curiosity, all technical tricks were also carried out by Western journalists. "For the news, we tried to take women with sharper voices - they passed through jamming. And men with a beautiful baritone did not pass through the stub, "Novgorodtsev says. His own voice for the inhabitants of the USSR was almost the only source of relevant information about western rock music. In April 1963, the first secretary of the Central Committee of the CPSU abruptly changed the tactics of the struggle. He removes jamming from the Voice of America and the Air Force, intensifies pressure on Radio Liberty and introduces a ban on the sale of shortwave radios in Soviet retail. By that time, shortwave, and for at least five years, were not allowed into the domestic market. "All of our receivers were with a range of up to 25 meters [the minimum wavelength that the devices could receive]," recalls Bunin, head of telecommunications at the National Technical University of the KPI. - This range is good at dumbing. And there is another range of 13, 15, and 18 meters, where the wave from the jamming is superficial, fades quickly, and it was very good to hear the West." Soviet models with forbidden waves were produced only for export. Imported equipment is an unattainable luxury item. For example, the German "Grundig". For his shortwave nature ironically immortalized by Vladimir Vysotsky: "There is a dentist homeworker Rudik, he has a receiver "Grundig", he twists it at night, catches, counter, FRG," sang the Soviet bard. Feel like a wave. August 21, 1968 Gissov once again caught on his tube radio receiver Record the wave of Radio Liberty. She turned on and froze. "I remember very clearly the day when Soviet troops entered Czechoslovakia," she recalls. - It impressed me. My husband was on a business trip. When he called, I told him [about the news]. He answered me: do not phone. " Talking on the phone, and not only on the phone, really had to be very careful. Any information from Western radio stations was viewed as anti-Soviet activity. "[This] was dangerous from the point of view of the Bureau of Deep Drilling [the paraphrased abbreviation of the KGB - the State Security Committee]", is encrypted according to the old habit of Chliyants. The ideological battle in the radio was exhausting both sides of the conflict. In early 1968, the American CIA even proposed to close Radio Liberty "for financial reasons." But then there were "Czechoslovak events" and the West changed its mind. Instead of curtailing the project, the appropriations increased. By the beginning of the 1970s, the annual budget of the RS and Free Europe was $ 50 million, by the 1980s it had already exceeded $200 million. The union was even harder. The annual broadcasting of the Moscow Radio cost the decrepit budget of the USSR $700 million. Another $200 million for the maintenance of thousands of radio stations, which, for the most part, produced nothing but ethereal noise, and served only for jamming hostile voices. Nevertheless, the new Secretary General of the CPSU Central Committee Leonid Brezhnev resumed the suppression of the radio signal of American and British stations. And although in 1973, during the so- called detente, the regime of jamming temporarily softens, it lasts not long, six years, before the invasion of the USSR into Afghanistan. By the end of the 1970s Soviet people were emboldened. They began not only to listen to the forbidden radio, but also to send letters to their favorite presenter. Secret couriers often acted as foreign students from exotic countries who studied in the Soviet Union. For the years of work at the Air Force Novgorodtsev thus came 15 thousand messages. "The record of my activity, this letter, thrown in a bottle from the side of the steamer, passing the Channel," says Novgorodtsev. "The bottle was nailed to the shore, and it was delivered to me." In 1983, the White House allocated $ 1.3 billion for the technical re- equipment of the stations that conducted the airwaves to the East. In response, Moscow was preparing to build a long-range defense station in Syria and Vietnam. But in 1986, the chairman of the KGB Viktor Chebrikov acknowledged that "ensuring the quality of jamming throughout the USSR is a technically difficult task and requires considerable material costs." The project was temporarily frozen. As it turned out forever. In 1987, the BBC and Voice of America left interference. And on the night of 29 to 30 November 1988, they turned off all the jamming of the country. 40 years of Soviet loneliness are over. Three years later the USSR died. https://vk.com/radioreceiver (via RusDX April 29 via DXLD) ** U K [non].

Icon "50 years of wire broadcasting" You can see here - http://rusdx.blogspot.ru/2018/05/50.html * 2013/2014. Radio "Voice of Russia" stops SW broadcasting from Russian territory. MOSCOW, August 21 - RIA Novosti. State radio "Voice of Russia" from January 1, 2014 will cease broadcasting its programs in the short-wave (SW) range, writes Digit.ru. In a letter to the head of the Russian Television and Radio Broadcasting Company (RTRS), Andrei Romanchenko, on August 15, Vitaly Gumai, deputy chairman of the Voice of Russia, said that broadcasting in the KV band is terminated "due to a decrease in funding." For today, Voice of Russia uses RTRS transmitters for broadcasting to foreign countries in the medium and short wave bands. After the termination of work on short waves, the Voice of Russia will be broadcast to foreign countries from Russian territory only from three medium-wave transmitters of small capacity located in Transdniestria, Sakhalin and Kaliningrad, Digit.ru reported a source in the industry. The main volume of broadcasting will focus on FM-transmitters located in foreign countries. Thus, the broadcasting of "Voice of Russia" from the territory of Russia will almost completely cease. The "Voice of Russia" also notified the RTRS that it will continue to use its transmitters to retransmit transmissions in the SW and HF bands of foreign radio stations on the basis of contracts with them. The source told Digit.ru that among them, for example, "Voice of America", "Radio Vatican" and others. Earlier in early 2013, Voice of Russia reduced the total volume of broadcasting in the short-wave band to about 26 hours per day, compared to more than 50 hours in 2012. At the same time, the payment for RTRS services by the "Voice of Russia" in 2013 due to the reduction in broadcasting has decreased to 220 million rubles, compared to 550 million rubles in 2012. "Voice of Russia" is a state-owned broadcaster, leading from Moscow to foreign countries since 1929.
