(https://vk.com/club59176345) HISTORY OF DX AND RADIO ==================== 2006 ------- Radio Liberty. TIME OF FREEDOM 25 October 2006 What unites thousands of people listening to so-called distant radio stations around the world The program is led by Dmitry Kaznin. The correspondent of Radio Liberty Tatyana Voltska is taking part. The guests of the studio are Umar Chaishvili, one of the organizers of the European DX Council conference, a member of the St. Petersburg DX Club, and Alexander Berezkin, vice-president of the St. Petersburg DX - to the brow, and also one of the organizers of the European DX conference. Dmitry Kaznin: In St. Petersburg, the annual conference of the European DX-Council was held, organized by this council and the St. Petersburg DX club. DX-names are those radio amateurs who are engaged in receiving signals from remote radio stations. More about this tells Tatiana Voltskaya. Tatiana Voltskaya: The name DX is rooted in Morse code, this is one of the abbreviations used in it, which means a long distance. A distant radio reception was engaged at the dawn of radio development. In its more than 60-year history, the DX-reception has become especially widespread in the US, Australia and Western Europe. Radio amateurs usually keep a diary of their observations of radio air. There is a case when an amateur radio enthusiast from the Russian heartland received SOS signals of the Italian Arctic expedition that had suffered a disaster, as a result of which the expedition members were rescued. This was in the 30s. DX-stars in general played a significant role in the development of radio broadcasting and communications, it is they who have the honor of discovering the long-distance patency of short radio waves. Throughout the world there are serious periodic DX-publications and clubs, they are also in St. Petersburg. Says the president of the St. Petersburg DX club, Alexei Osipov. Alexei Osipov: Around 1984 we started publishing a bulletin for our hobby colleagues, where we shared our thoughts on our movement, news of the air, and various information. All this was printed in the bulletin, which was then called exotically "DX - news". Many of us, for example, were interested in broadcasting in Latin America. It is very interesting somewhere early in the morning with the sunrise, when the passage of radio waves was established, listen to some Brazilian, Argentine stations. Such exotic. It was possible to not sleep the night. Tatiana Voltskaya: DX-releases provide different information, for example, about where you can catch some radio stations broadcasting interesting news. It is clear that in Soviet times this attracted the attention of the special services. Alexei Osipov: Already after perestroika, 2-3 years ago, people from special services came to me and asked - are you studying the passage of waves, say, from Germany in Yekaterinburg, and can this information be used for postback? If someone from Siberia will broadcast programs to his person somewhere in Europe, say? I say - naturally. Some questions from the secret services were technically illiterate. Tatiana Voltskaya: The annual conference of the European DX-Council was held for the first time in St. Petersburg. It was attended by about one hundred representatives of DX-associations and clubs in Europe and the world, many well- known DX-stories of the world - representatives of international broadcasting organizations. Dmitry Kaznin: We have a guest Umar Chaeshvili, one of the organizers of the conference of the European DX Council, a member of the St. Petersburg DX Club, and Alexander Berezkin, vice-president of the St. Petersburg DX - to the brow, and also one of the organizers of the European DX conference -soviet. The theme of our program is long-range radio reception, DX-ing. Let's start with what it is DX-club, DX-ing? I think that many of our radio listeners probably do not know this term. Alexander Berezkin: As soon as it sounded, this is the reception of distant radio stations. DX at the dawn of the development of radio communications only telegraph communication was used. The abbreviation Morse transmitted such abbreviations, so as not to transmit long words. This is rooted throughout the world. And now DX-ingom is called the reception of distant, mainly, broadcast stations. Although there are amateurs who receive service stations that transmit voice messages. I know there are amateurs who take digital and business radio communication, cart cards, which is just not there. So, DX-ing is a reception of distant stations. Dmitry Kaznin: Just for fun I'll ask. Umar, how did you come to this in order to engage in such a rather exotic business? Umar Chaishvili: My coming to this area, my hobby for radio communication is wide. Since my childhood I've loved collecting receivers, I was addicted. Then I read some books. I was very interested in the death of the Chelyuskinites, when our DX enthusiasts took the first signals about the crash. So they saved them. And in the future I was just keen on old equipment, collected receivers, took distant stations. Dmitry Kaznin: The history of this movement began at what time? Maybe there are some milestones? Alexander Berezkin: This fascination developed simultaneously with the development of radio communication technology and radio reception. We can assume that already at the dawn of the development of radio communications at the beginning of the century, radio amateurs have already appeared. Somewhere since 1912, a rather powerful organization of radio amateurs has already formed in the United States, but these are radio amateurs shortwave. We are engaged in pure reception. We do not go on the air. They communicate with each other. These two hobbies are closely related, but these are somehow separate directions. As for our country, in principle, always on our hobby the authorities looked askance. Sometimes even explicitly forbade it to do. As for the pre-war time, the reception of Western stations was, in general, promoted to enemy reconnaissance. Umar Chaishvili: You remember, recently we in the forest received Radio Liberty. Went, engaged in DX-ing in the forest. Laughter in the studio (continued in the next issue) (https://www.svoboda.org/a/268713.html) Mass media ========= * On Radio Russii, children were forbidden to sing about Christ. -------------------------------------------------- ------------------------- The musician and singer Alexandra Yarchevskaya told about the scandal that happened on Radio Russia before the program "Actors". "Today there was a scandal on Radio Russii." The children's group of the Pokrovsky Theater is 40 years old. We should have sung fragments from the "Rostov action". The producer comes and during the rehearsal says that "propaganda of Christianity on our radio is prohibited. In your "songs" the word "Christ" is present. Let's have other songs, "- wrote YArchevskaya in her Facebook. According to the violoncellist, the group tried to explain to producer Sofia Arendt that this secular performance has no relation to "propaganda". Also, the participants of the play asked the question why the ban on Christian subjects was not stipulated in advance. In response, the producer asked if it could be done "somehow without Christ." "Then I told our choirmaster Elena Lvovna that I would not take part in this. And forgive me, but for the first time in 15 years I do not care about the theater, because otherwise I can remove the cross and betray the one I love right here, "the musician said. As a result, the producer commented on the artist's statement that she "betrayed her comrades and did not act in a Christian way." Arendt also stated that YArchevskaya could "sing about Christ" on the radio "Radonezh" or the radio "Vera". Alexey Lasnov, vz.ru (http://onair.ru/main/enews/view_msg/NMID__69241/) * The Federation Council threatened to restrict the broadcasting of the BBC in Russia. -------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------ If the UK restricts the broadcasting of the Russian TV channel RT, then in Russia they will take similar measures with regard to the British BBC TV channel and the BBC radio, said the head of the Federation Council Commission on Information Policy Alexei Pushkov, RIA Novosti reported. On May 23 it was reported that the British media controller Ofcom opened three new investigations against RT. We are talking about possible violations in the news programs of April 26 and May 4, as well as in the program Crosstalk of April 20. Earlier Ofcom reported that it conducts seven investigations, so their total number increased to 10. The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, said that Russia will respond toughly to the actions of the British authorities against the Russian media. The mediascandal broke out amid a deterioration in relations between Moscow and London, triggered by the poisoning in Salisbury of a British agent and former employee of the Chief Intelligence Directorate of Russia (GRU) Sergey Skripal and his daughter Julia. iz.ru (http://onair.ru/main/enews/view_msg/NMID__69277/) WORLD NEWS ============= Russia ---------- World radio network.
