(https://vk.com/club59176345) HISTORY OF DX AND RADIO ==================== 2006 ------- (Continuation: The beginning of last issue) Radio Liberty. TIME OF FREEDOM 25 October 2006 Alexander Berezkin: After the war, shortwave radio amateurs received state support. Officially there was a central radio club. It still exists. Radio amateurs-shortwave operators had the opportunity to communicate with each other. But there were interesting moments when it was forbidden to work with foreign radio stations. Then, after all, they were allowed in the 1950s, but it was also forbidden, for example, to work with Soviet short-wave workers, for example, with Israel after the 1967 aggression. There were a lot of such restrictions. Short-wavewomen can somehow manage. They have an organization. They receive state support. And with us it was very difficult to do something. First, we are individualists. Everyone sits at home, listens to the radio, leads a hardware magazine, sends reports to radio stations, receives confirmation from them. They communicate with each other. This is a more individualized hobby. For example, in Soviet times, there was not a single organization that would unite DX-es. By the way, in 1984 our St. Petersburg DX club was founded. It seems that this was the first such unification, albeit informal. Because all the rest still somehow later united - Moscow, Irkutsk. To date, there are four such associations in Russia. Dmitry Kaznin: One of these days the conference was held. It was the first time in Russia, I understand? Alexander Berezkin: Yes. Dmitry Kaznin: What kind of conference was it? How many participants were there? Where did they come from? Alexander Berezkin: It was a conference of the European DX-Council. The European DX-Council is a pan-European organization that unites national clubs DX - the beginnings. European DX-Council was founded in 1967. The founder was the Danes. They attended our conference. Dmitry Kaznin: Umar, maybe, continue? Umar Chaishvili: The conference was very interesting. There were a lot of guests from Finland. By the way, I will add that this hobby is so individual. For example, our northern neighbors are very individualists. They have it very developed. They have a lot of members in the Finnish club. Alexander Berezkin: By the way, there was a Finnish DX - st. He said that now there are about 700 members somewhere. Umar Chaishvili: They go somewhere to Lapland, to the tundra. They have a house there. Stretch many kilometers of antennas, take on the middle waves and the same Argentina, and the States. Alexander and I also plan to do this in the near future. The conference was very interesting. There was an interesting picture. For example, Valentina Krasnopolskaya from Bonn brought equipment for receiving signals, which are only being introduced around the world. And opposite there were ancient radio receivers from my personal collection. I still collect ancient receivers, I get carried away very much. By the way, foreign comrades were very interested in this. At us in Russia while there is no such club of collectors of ancient receivers. For example, in the States of these clubs more than 200, and we do not have any. And such a picture - there is modern digital equipment, and opposite the old one and everything works. And people are rushing from one table to another. Everywhere signals are received. It was interesting to watch all this. Dmitry Kaznin: That is, old receivers in working order? Umar Chaishvili: Yes, in perfect working order. They accept all stations. Alexander Berezkin: Umar made a report on the collection of ancient Soviet radio receivers. He brought three samples in perfect working order, restored. They look like new, great sound, real wooden cases. Umar Chaishvili: Yes, it's a natural sound. I collected mainly Russian radios of pre-war issues. Because this is the most difficult direction. There are very few of them. In the war, much was destroyed. Dmitry Kaznin: Do you find them in St. Petersburg or anywhere? Umar Chaishvili: Throughout the country. For example, I found one receiver at the Lenfilm studios. Dmitry Kaznin: How many people took part in the conference? Are there any other interesting topics? Alexander Berezkin: A total of 72 people were registered. This is a fairly representative staff from 12 countries. It should have been from 13, but one fellow from Ukraine was sick and could not drive up. The reports were very interesting. We specially designed the program so that we could have as varied a variety of reports as possible. For example, the reports of Professor Yevgenia Rafailovich Milyutin "On the propagation of radio waves by reflection from the ionosphere" were read at a very high level. He is a professor at the St. Petersburg State University of Telecommunications, Anatoly Mikhalkovich Babkov, Cand.Tech.Sci., "On the use of active antennas in professional and amateur radio reception ". Here Umar made a very interesting report on the collection of old Soviet radio receivers. Valentina Krasnopolskaya made a report on broadcasting on long, medium and short waves in such a retrospective - past, present, future. And here's the new digital DRM system, she not only talked about it in detail, she brought samples of already commercially available equipment, and it was possible to listen with her ears, with what magnificent quality it sounds. I, for example, could never have thought that on short waves there would be such a quality. Dmitry Kaznin: We receive telephone calls. Hello. Listener: Good morning, my name is Sergey. I, too, was engaged somewhere in the 1960s with the DX-reception, with a TV reception and reception of VHF on the western band. That is, I always had high-quality stereo music, wherever I lived in the Northwest. Petersburg was in a unique situation, some abnormal movement took place from the northern direction, and in many areas it was possible to watch television programs very stably, primarily Finnish television. But I would like to talk about something else. It's very interesting that communism burst like a soap bubble, but in the Northwest there was such a state jamming of Helsinki radio on medium waves, as now, for example, there is a megawatt lighthouse, and it presses the Helsinki station, and in the absence of a lighthouse it passes absolutely calmly and goes to the receiver. There is a lot of Finnish population here, but all this is there, and jamming remains. Alexander Berezkin: I would like to say in response to the caller listening to Sergei that what he is saying is not directed jamming. It's just so coordinated frequencies. Indeed, in Helsinki operates a station at a frequency of 558 kilohertz, there are transmitted, including, and not only in Finnish, but also in Russian language programs. And we have a lighthouse - 549 kilohertz, and it was all the time, it did not depend on whether the Soviet system or the communist. It's just not enough coordinated frequencies. Dmitry Kaznin: We still have a call. Hello. Listener: My name is Sergey Lvovich, I'm from Moscow. I am 70 years old, I have been ham radio since 1954 ... Dmitry Kaznin: Unfortunately, the call failed. Alexander Berezkin: Nevertheless, it is nice to hear that a person continues to be interested in the radio world. Umar Chaishvili: Unfortunately, he was not present at our conference, although foreign guests from all those years we, in fact, are young, few. Dmitry Kaznin: Returning to the conference, what other interesting topics were on it? Alexander Berezkin: Yes, there were many other very interesting reports. For example, our Finnish colleague Tarma Kontura, by the way, from the University of Kotka, made a report on the results of tests of the DRM standard receivers, which are interfaced with a computer. This is not a separate device, but for this you need a special computer program. And so he conducted such a comparative analysis, and it was very interesting. Anker Peterson, the founder of the European DX-Council, also made an interesting report. He visited Thailand, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, South-East Asia and told what he heard there. It was very interesting. Mikhail Timofeev, who represented the North-West Regional Center of the Russian Television and Radio Broadcasting Network. Here he told about his enterprise, too, there were many questions. And there were a few reports at the end, somehow they got together, it turned out that they relate to the DX movement. Our guest from Japan Toshimichi Ohtaki made a story about DX in Japan. Our Finnish colleague Rista Vahakkajnu - about our colleagues on hobby in Finland. And two reports were from the Moscow DX Club, made by Vadim Alekseev, by the way, he conducts a special transfer for DX-players on the Voice of Russia. I made a report on the St. Petersburg DX Club. Alexander Alexandrovich Artamonov from MART OJSC also took part. This is a powerful equipment for broadcasting and television, this is the name that was formerly the name of the Comintern NGO, which has been developing and producing powerful radio transmitters for radio communication and broadcasting since the pre-war years. Here he also talked about those works that are conducted in his association in the sense of exactly the introduction of digital broadcasting. And in the end, already on the second day of the conference, a city tour was organized for the guests of the conference. But not just a tour of the city, and we stopped at the Museum- apartment of Alexander Stepanovich Popov, and the museum director Larisa Zolotinkina showed the museum- laboratory, and foreign guests were very pleased.

This was reported to the correspondent of Radio 1 by the vice-president of the Russian Academy of Radio, Yuri Kostin. "It can happen within two years, it can happen in four years - it all depends on the development of technology. The introduction of the DRM + standard is still in the plans. It is necessary to develop regulatory acts that will allow stations to obtain broadcasting rights. I think that those stations that already broadcast in the FM-band will get the right to broadcast in the standard DRM +. New players will not go there, "Kostin said. In turn, the head of Roskomnadzor Alexander Zharov on the sidelines of the conference "The Future of Regional Radio" in Sochi confirmed that the technical possibility of switching to digital broadcasting standards in Russia exists. "At present, the State Commission for Radio Frequencies has opened all the doors. We have registered the standard DRM + and DAB. But the choice should be for the industry, "Zharov told a Radio 1 correspondent. The president of the "Russian Academy of Radio" Andrei Romanchenko, opening the conference in Sochi, also called the most promising standard for the use in Russia DRM +. According to academicians, the use of the DAB standard is possible, but to a lesser degree meets the requirements of the infrastructure and market demands. The DAB system allows to launch a broadband signal (1536 kHz) on one frequency, capable of broadcasting more than 20 sound programs. One such signal is called a "multiplex". The DRM + signal is 16 times narrower, its width is only 96 kHz. Narrowband DRM + signal allows transferring up to three stereo programs of audio broadcasting with better FM quality and a separate data transmission channel. According to the RAR, in Russia there are 3405 radio stations broadcasting now, this is 117 stations less than a year ago. radio1.news (http://onair.ru/main/enews/view_msg/NMID__69390/) WORLD NEWS. ============= Russia. ------------ World radio network.
