On May 29th, in the "DX Mailbag" program of Romania's Radio Inter in English at 17.45 hrs at 11810, the list of listeners who sent reports about the reception ended with the name of respected Dmitry Kutuzov. At one time p.ep. Pavel Mikhailov called me "the oldest aesthetist" (although exaggeratedly), but now I can write that Dmitry Kutuzov is one of the most active and large DX-er of the world. His name was heard in many languages and broadcasts of the world's radio stations. Live and healthy will be! 73 Rumen Pankov, Sofia, Bulgaria. * From the https://vk.com/radioreceiver mailing list: Hello, dear members of the group. We all know that in 2014, for a powerful radio broadcast in Russia, there has come a black band, which has lasted for more than 4 years. But recently there has been a return to the HF range of the Republic of Sakha. How much I would not go on the Internet with a request for the return of HF SV DV DV broadcasting in Russia, all the same. Recently, on the website of the Russian Information Agency, I found a petition for the restoration of the broadcasting of Mayak radio and the radio of Russia to SV and DV. But when I looked at the number of votes, I (without jokes) ofigail. Only 850 votes. And for consideration at the federal level, you need 100,000 votes. Someone even voted against the petition, well, bastards. So, MAXIMUM REPORTS !!!!!!!! of this petition. I ask you to vote all the members of the group and to repost repost ... Let's try to restore Russia's status as a great information resource! Link: https://www.roi.ru/39564/ Good luck!

Tolyatti. -------------------------------------------- In Togliatti the broadcasting of radio "Samara-Maximum" is disabled. Earlier it could be heard on the frequency of 101.2 FM. As the public Radio and Television in Samara and the Samara Region writes, now there are searches for local partners in the sale of advertising. As soon as this happens, the station will resume broadcasting in the new season in the same volume. As it became known in January 2017, "Radio Samara-Maximum" came to Togliatti at the frequency of 101.2 FM, where the "Chanson" was previously broadcast. The official start of broadcasting took place on March 1 of the same year. Let's add that this is not the first rotation of radio stations in Tolyatti frequency: "Samara-Maximum" stopped broadcasting there in May 2004, losing air to the more massive format of "Chanson". bigvill.ru (http://onair.ru/main/enews/view_msg/NMID__69441/) St. Petersburg ------------------------ On a new radio station Vegas FM and Radio Zhara ("Heat") will come to St. Petersburg Singer and businessman, vice president of Crocus Group Emin Agalarov is negotiating the purchase of radio frequencies for the launch of Vegas FM radio, he told RNS through his representative. While consultations are not at an advanced stage, a source familiar with the businessman says. Also Agalarov Jr. intends to launch the radio "Zhara" in St. Petersburg in the autumn. "Probably a station under the Vegas radio brand," Agalarov told RNS, answering the question whether he plans to buy any radio stations in the near future. "Negotiations have been going on for a long time, whether it will be possible to translate this into reality, while it is not clear," he said. With whom consultations are held, Agalarov did not say. Consultations are not in an active, advanced stage, says Emin Agalarov's acquaintance. "While the" Heat "project is not realized, Emin is a businessman, not a sponsor," he said. Now, under the Vegas brand, radio stations operate in the same-named shopping centers owned by the Crocus Group, owned by the Agalarov family. They broadcast musical compositions and information announcements. In early February, Agalarov, Jr. bought out the radio station Best FM from Senator Vitaly Bogdanov. It was then about the redemption of the frequency for the launch of the new radio "Heat". In June, the radio station began broadcasting at 100.5 FM in Moscow. According to Agalarov, if launched, the new radio station will not compete with the already existing one, as it will concentrate on the older audience. "Vegas FM or Vegas radio can be a modern and fresh station for a more adult audience - compared to Zhara FM," said RNS Agalarov. The new station plans to broadcast "world hits, which have already become classics, as well as topical hits." Managing the already running radio station "Heat" will be Andrei Makarov, who was previously the general director of the television company "Vid". "Andrei Makarov was appointed to the post of General Producer of the radio station" Zhara FM "from April 20, 2018," said Emin Agalarov of RNS. In the nearest plans for the development of "Zhary" - the acquisition of frequencies in the regions. "Now in plans after Moscow to launch Peter - approximately by the autumn. After that, run 10 cities with a million population. We are working on the launch of "Zhara FM" in Kazakhstan, on the territory of Azerbaijan - these are plans for the near future, "RNS Agalarov specified.

(http://www.krutoymedia.ru/news/5402.htm) HISTORY OF DX AND RADIO ==================== 2006 ------- (Ending, beginning in past issues) Radio Liberty. TIME OF FREEDOM 25 October 2006 Dmitry Kaznin: We have a phone call. Hello. Listener: Good afternoon. Boris, Moscow. I regularly receive your edition, at the moment I received the 12th edition from St. Petersburg. I have a question. Tell me, when will digital broadcasting really be in Russia? And is it possible now, theoretically at least, to catch this broadcast in digital format? Alexander Berezkin: Boris, thank you for asking. Here I want to clarify that our St. Petersburg DX club participates in the release of the Russian-language Radio Guide, which is published twice a year, and here Boris is one of our subscribers. In general, there are plans to introduce digital broadcasting by about 2015. But this means digital television broadcasting. But as far as radio broadcasting is concerned, by the end of the year the concept of introducing digital broadcasting must be approved. Most likely, this standard of DRM will be adopted. After that, the program will be developed, and then something will move. That is, it was with radio broadcasting that slowed down a bit, and television already in digital mode, for example, in St. Petersburg, we can take on channel 34. Who has digital set-top boxes to TV or digital TVs - please, there are several programs Dmitry Kaznin: What are the advantages of digital broadcasting? Alexander Berezkin: A much higher quality. That is, when we, for example, listen to short waves, we hear a lot of interference, industrial noise, interference from other stations, fading. All this affects the quality of the signal, worsens audibility, and many ordinary listeners will not listen to what is happening there, to catch signals and the level of interference, and they will move to another station where there is a good reception. So, it's quality, close to the quality of the CD-this is what it gives. Umar Chaishvili: And you can say that this is an FM-reception on short waves in fact. Alexander Berezkin: Approximately so. And not only on short, but also on long, and on medium the same. Umar Chaishvili: The reception quality is high and plus the transfer of some information goes, text, image. Alexander Berezkin: Yes, that is, on the screen of the receiver are transmitted, say, news. That is, a person may not include a receiver when the news, and when the music is turned on. Dmitry Kaznin: I see. Here is the DX-ing for me, as for an uninitiated person, among other things, even such a halo of romanticism is enveloped, that is, people are engaged, at first glance, useless thing, they listen to what is transmitted in Argentina, in Australia. Alexander Berezkin: So the most interesting thing is to take a station that broadcasts not to your region, not to you, but to see what is happening to them from the outside and get first-hand information. Dmitry Kaznin: And this is in Russian? Alexander Berezkin: Any of the DX -systems, I think, is simply obliged to know at least the English language. But we listen without even knowing the language. We are interested in the very fact of receiving a rare station. Umar Chaishvili: We catch what others can not accept. Alexander Berezkin: And then we write reports to these stations, and they send us a confirmation of the reception. This is also very important - to have documentary confirmation. Dmitry Kaznin: That is the very fact of what you heard ... Alexander Berezkin: Yes, the very fact is very valuable for us. Umar Chaishvili: This is something even like a sport. Alexander Berezkin: Yes, and, by the way, competitions are held. For example, I participated in annual such competitions. This is not a competition in the sporting sense, but it is a competition-competition to receive broadcast stations, which in recent years are organized by our Kazan colleagues. Well, in the last contest I took the eighth place out of 28, probably the participants. Well, all the same not the last. Dmitry Kaznin: We have a call. Hello. Listener: Hello. The Leningrader Sergey. As far as we are a European city, if we are now removing antennas on rooftops, roofs are being brewed, in Moscow, I know that the antennas are completely removed. Do we have a Federation of radio amateurs who intercede not only for transmitting shortwave transmitters, but also for the receivers who are simply engaged in reception, listen to the broadcast? Thank you. Alexander Berezkin: Sergei, in Moscow the situation is not quite the same as you said. There, after all, it is more orderly. There is a special resolution of the Moscow government, and the radio amateur, after all, in an absolutely official way can get permission to install his outdoor antenna. We have no such regulation, and the procedure is approximately the following. If, say, you are a radio amateur-shortwave, you take a corresponding paper in the state radio-frequency center, in which it says that you need to install an outdoor antenna. But now, for example, I moved to a new place, I decided to install an antenna - and I went to the housing agency and asked how to do it officially? That is, you need to develop a project, approve it in the district housing agency. I then acted easier ... Probably, I will not say how that others did not follow my tracks. But I'll fix the antenna. Today I have to finish it, the one I want. Dmitry Kaznin: Tell me, what are the most exotic, maybe, stations that you have been fishing in your life? Or, perhaps, the most unexpected, unusual things that you heard on the air? Alexander Berezkin: I can say, one of the most interesting stations, when Chile was overthrown by Salvador Allende in 1973, it seems that Pinochet came to power, and so, they organized from Chile a broadcast in Russian, which here was muffled. And after that there was an article in the journal "Radio", then such articles were published on "enemy voices", and it was written there that the Pinochet's regime wanted to launch such programs, but under pressure of the international community refused this idea. And I myself heard that they started to broadcast, and I wanted to write a letter, and then I thought and thought and did not write. And I had records, I wrote it down specially, and they communicated to the Communists with almost unprintable words. Umar Chaishvili: And I liked to receive the radio station "Monte Carlo Radio" in my childhood, in my youth, and this original "Monte Carlo", from Europe, is not our local, which now broadcasts. And then there was little fashion in our country, and I liked to take popular music. I recorded it on a tape recorder, but it was difficult to accept, of course. Dmitry Kaznin: That is, it was practical. Umar Chaeshvili: Yes. Dmitry Kaznin: Tell me, where did these conferences take place before, and where will they go further, about the prospects? Alexander Berezkin: These conferences are held regularly, as I said, since 1967 almost every year. Well, there were a few breaks, here is our current conference - the 34th in a row. They were held in different cities of Europe, for example, five conferences were held, for example, in Finland, three or four in Sweden, five conferences in Denmark, and even one in the Canary Islands. Umar Chaishvili: And the past was held in Prague, by the way, in the premises of Radio Liberty, in the same building. Alexander Berezkin: Yes. And I attended this conference, it was Radio Liberty / Free Europe, where the last conference was held. But in the countries of Eastern Europe it was only two times - in Hungary and last year in Prague. And all this was already after the fall of the communist regimes. Then nothing could be. But now in Russia, in the CIS for the first time we held such a major international event, and for the first time the conference was bilingual, in Russian and in English. Because our goal was to attract as many Russian participants as possible. Many simply do not know English, and we had a special translator, Andrei, thank you for that. Umar Chaishvili: And it pleases that it was held in St. Petersburg, because here was the first transmission of the radio signal. Alexander Berezkin: And we can say that once again we opened a window to Europe, as Peter the Great used to be. Umar Chaishvili: Yes, it was even wider. Dmitry Kaznin: Tell me, if a person, for example, is doing this somewhere, I'm exaggerating, but in Pskov, somewhere in the countryside, at some, maybe ... Alexander Berezkin: It's even better, there's much less interference, of course. Dmitry Kaznin: And how does he find out in the end that he is not alone? That is, he listens to some Argentine radio station, then he catches something from Japan ... Alexander Berezkin: For example, during the Soviet era, when all this was actually forbidden, I corresponded with many, I just found out from the programs, for example, there was a very popular program on Radio Sweden, which everyone listened to, and there sometimes announced the addresses of those, who wrote. We recognized the addresses and corresponded with each other. The Hungarian club at "Radio Budapest" also led a very large work. And many of our Soviet then DX-ies were members of this club, by the way, and so do I. And there, too, published the addresses of our colleagues, and we sought out from there our Russian, and then corresponded. But then there was no Internet, no computers, so we found each other and knew in absentia. But an event like this, it's a great opportunity to just personally finally see a man that you maybe know for years, and then, finally, you'll see him alive and talk. Dmitry Kaznin: Is it possible in the world of all people engaged in DX-ing, about? Alexander Berezkin: It's not enough. These people are really very rare, and they are just not enough. For example, I can say about St. Petersburg. We publish this directory, and those who purchase this directory, we can assume that they are interested in DX-ying. This is somewhere 60 people. Umar Chaishvili: But the greatest number of listeners, DX-fans in the Scandinavian countries. Alexander Berezkin: Especially in Finland, so historically there was. Umar Chaishvili: Yes, the beginning of the movement, everything started there. Alexander Berezkin: The next conference will be in Switzerland, in Lugano, and a year later - again in Finland. Dmitry Kaznin: Let's hope that fans of DX-ying will only be added to Russia and the world. Thank you. (https://www.svoboda.org/a/268713.html) Mass media ========== Russia ----------- * Samara Region. The former radio center named after Alexander Popov wants to restore and make a place of attraction for tourists. With this initiative, the Public Chamber of the Samara Region took the floor. The radio bunker is in the Krasnoyarsk region of the province. It was built at the height of the Second World War and information about it was kept for a long time under the stamp "secret". Acts of the state commission claimed Lavrenty Beria. The radio center stopped its work in 2005. Nowadays the radio center attracts only diggers and extreme lovers. 15 kilometers from Samara, in the Krasnoyarsk region, there is a truly unique facility. On an area of 105 hectares in the shortest time by 1942 was built a powerful radio broadcasting center, which had no analogues at the time. The site for the secret object was chosen carefully. Nearby was Kuibyshev, the reserve capital of the Soviet Union. Bezymyanskaya CHPP could be used as an energy base. Nearby there were also camps for prisoners, who subsequently provided free labor. Since the construction was planned in time of war, it was decided to place the radio center under the ground, and on the surface leave only the antenna structures. The foundation pit for an underground technical building was started in the early autumn of 1941. For the construction of the object was initially laid only two and a half months! The task, which was already impracticable, was complicated by the fact that everything had to be done literally by hand. Only one excavator with a cube bucket worked on the site. In all, it was necessary to move about 100 thousand cubic meters of soil. Over this worked and several thousand prisoners with shovels in their hands. But the timing was frustrated. Construction stretched for nine months. The bulk of the work fell on the winter, which was really harsh that year. The temperature on the site dropped to 46 degrees below zero, with strong winds raging. But they did not think to stop the construction. By the summer of 1942, an underground technical building-bunker appeared at a depth of 22 meters, 8 antennas, the highest of which reached 205 meters in height. A settlement was also built for future radio workers. The object could be taken, but on November 18, 1942, a heavy transport aircraft, landing in a fog, crashed into one of the towers at an altitude of 70 meters. The antenna was destroyed, and the entire crew of the aircraft was killed. The final delivery of the object was postponed for another year. Daily reports of Levitan were transmitted from here through a special cable from Moscow. But to work at full capacity, the radio station was put into operation only in 1945. Nevertheless, the technical characteristics of the object were striking. Here we realized a scheme for combining several transmitters to work on a common load, which allowed us to achieve serious airwaves. This solution to the problem of broadcasting on long and medium waves was found in the USSR. Although it was at that time fought and American and European scientists. As a result, Soviet radio could be heard on most continents of the globe. The two-story bunker building is located underground. The lower level is at a depth of 22 meters. The building is made of monolithic reinforced concrete, the thickness of the walls here is not less than a meter. Above is a one and a half meter layer of sand, on which a plate of the same material as the walls is laid, but twice as thick. Through all these layers on the surface of the outlets are reinforced concrete ventilation shafts. Object No. 15 - that is the name for which a unique center was named for a long time, then the Kuybyshev radio station was given the name of AS Popov. The last time the broadcast from here was released on May 9, 2005. Five years later the towers were destroyed. Now there is no electricity in the bunker. Absolute darkness, cold and the atmosphere of the past. For 13 years, most of the furniture and equipment from the former secret building was taken out. Corridors and rooms now look more like catacombs. High ceilings and remains of parquet are echoes of a glorious past. But even now you can find photos, documents, magazines. The lists printed with neat handwriting with the names of employees are dated to the 80th years of the last century. Black and white photographs are signed and well preserved under glass. The history here is permeated with every meter. Whatever turn is an opening. Behind one of them were hidden huge metal doors of the transformer substation, behind the other - power distribution equipment. And an unusual room, lined with soundproofing material, turned out to be a speech studio, from where the announcers went live.

The third month in the largest settlements of the republic, such as Khorinsk, Tarbagatay, Turuntayevo, Bichura, Mukhorshibir and others, there is no Radio of Russia. Tired of waiting for the villagers, for whom the radio is sometimes the only means of communication with the outside world, the VGTRK "Buryatia" phones broke off, but they did not achieve anything. It is noteworthy that the problems with radio communications began not yesterday. The radiocommunication is coming to the election all over the country. For example, radio broadcasting was restored last fall by the election day of the head of the republic and, of course, on March 18, 2018, by the day of the election of the Russian president, but then the ether once again sank into emptiness. As it was found out, VGTRK "Buryatia" earlier sent letters on this matter to the government of the republic and the People's Khural. As it was announced at an extraordinary session on June 5, the issue is being resolved. The cost of technical support for broadcasting in 28 communities where Radio Rossiya disappeared is 10 million rubles annually.
