The first channel of the "Ukrainian Radio" radio "Luch" and "Culture" can now be listened to in Kiev on receivers that broadcast in DAB format (DAB +). This was reported on his Facebook page by the general producer of "Ukrainian Radio" Dmitry Khorkin. "In addition to sound, text, pictures and other data can be transmitted.Weak radio interference does not change the sound, that is, does not hiss, more economical use of the frequency space by signal transmission.The transmitter power can be reduced by 10-100 times.The reproduced sound is digital, with characteristic noises, like in an mp3 player.The quality of sound is much higher than for FM radio stations, "- said Dmitry Khorkin. To listen to the radio in a new format, any receiver with the DAB + label is required. Recall, on July 27, 2017 the National Council decided to order in the UGTSR miscalculation for the launch of digital radio standard DAB + in Kiev, in order to implement the experiment in Kiev with the launch of digital radio. December 21, the National Council decided to announce a contest for digital radio standard T-DAB (DAB +) in Kiev, and also approved competitive conditions. On December 27, the announcement of the competition of the National Council for Digital Broadcasting in the standard T- DAB (DAB +) in Kiev was published in the newspaper Golos Ukrainy. The competition was put up 14 places in a digital multiplex, which will work on the basis of two transmitters of the RRT Concern in Kiev. The applications were submitted by 10 radio stations - all of them became the winners of the contest: Radio Maria, Old Fashioned Radio, Zemlya, Hype Radio, FM Country, First Digital, Ukrainian Radio, Luch, Culture and Meydan ". On March 29, 2018 the National Council unanimously supported them (Source: Portal "Public Broadcasting"). (http://proradio.org.ua/news/2018jun.php) - On May 11, the Concern for Broadcasting, Radio Communication and Television launched a local digital radio multiplex in Kiev. That is why now there are 9 radio stations broadcasting round the clock: Russian Radio, Luch, Culture (National Public Television and Radio Company of Ukraine), FM Country, Hype Radio, Zemlya, Old Fashioned Radio, Radio Meydan, , Radio "Maria". During the press conference, what happened today, on June 19, the chairman of the National Council of Ukraine on Television and Radio Broadcasting Yuriy Artemenko and member of the National Council Sergey Kostinsky tested the quality of the digital radio signal with the help of a special receiver. In the premises of Ukrinform, that on Vul. Would. Khmelnitsky, 8, even without raising the antenna to the altitude managed to catch the signal of several radio stations. In general, the digital radio signal covers the whole of Kiev and the surrounding areas. "We believe that we have prospects," Yury Artemenko said. At the same time, he called the main problem for the development of digital radio - the lack of receivers. Now radio in the figure can be heard primarily in new cars that are equipped with special receivers. The rest of the citizens need to buy or an adapter for older car brands, or a conventional radio receiver that receives the signal in the T-DAB format. Yuri Artemenko also told that recently a meeting of representatives of TV and radio companies that broadcast in the digital radio multiplex took place in the National Council. "We collected them and proposed to unite in an association that would promote digital radio, they have many ideas how to do it, how to popularize digital radio, to increase the number of transmitters, perhaps to play them," he said. With the interest of all parties, there is great hope that this experiment of the National Council and the media industry will be successful. Broadcast of the digital radio is carried out by two transmitters operating in synchronous mode on the 7D channel, with a power of 1 kW and 2 kW. Broadcasting is carried out in T-DAB format. Sergei Kostinsky noted that large radio groups at first rather skeptically accepted the idea of introducing digital radio. However, right now, when the next contest for 4 vacancies in this digital radio multiplex was announced, one of the largest media groups of Ukraine was submitted to it. "And we have no doubt that all 14 radio stations will broadcast in digital," said Sergei Kostinsky. A total of 5 applicants applied for the contest. Acceptance of documents has already been completed, the winners of this competition will be determined by August 14 (Source: National Council website).

HISTORY OF DX AND RADIO == RADIOPIRATES. Many claim that creating a pirate radio is much more interesting than listening to it. However, many will not delay with a refutation that listening to them is also a considerable pleasure. Is not it a miracle? Looking for the ether, and suddenly from the short-wave polyphony burst, for example, "I'm Frankenstein" or "Radio Rambo". Listen to pirates the law does not prohibit - this is quite a legal occupation. Another thing is to broadcast without a license. But however, who knows: today's pirate can get a license tomorrow ... WE HAVE. It all began in the late 1950s. Then suddenly it turned out that to increase the yield of corn in the fields, it is necessary to take one of their ranges from the Soviet shortwave band. Namely, the range is "160 meters". The range was transferred to the Ministry of Agriculture, and radio amateurs were invited to re-register and leave the band. Many have done so. But some of them either could not (for various reasons) or perceive such arbitrariness, almost as a personal insult. These guys decided to stay on the band. They changed their official callsigns, more like numbers (like RA4AB), to "humanized" call-names. For example: "Serpentine", "Resonance", "Luck", etc. The air began to sound - To all Free Operators! I'm "Jolly Roger". Who hears - answer. Everything, have arrived! Expressed "high calm", we can say that the Radio Pirate flag has proudly risen over the country of the Builders of Communism! Agricultural communication has a problem: interference from radio transmitters of former owners of the range, who are "outlawed". In 1957, under the Ministry of Communications, a special ether control service was set up, these were small departments of 2-4 people in the regional communications departments. Further, this service was called the State Telecommunications Inspection (GIE). The cleaning of the band began. Direction finder "NDP" - (Illegally Acting Transmitters) has been developed direction finders specially designed for this purpose. For the "radio destroyer", it usually ended up with confiscation of radio equipment and a fine. But there were also cases of criminal prosecution. The radio pirates (for safety reasons) had to switch to the Mid-Wave range. Fortunately the middle waves closely adjoin to "agricultural", or technically competently - "intermediate". Now Free Operators could be heard on an ordinary household receiver. The next stage has begun. It is interesting from where went the favorite scheme of radio- bullies, which at that time became a classical radio-bully "barrel organ" - a transmitting attachment to a conventional tube receiver, which makes it possible to turn it into a receiving and transmitting medium-wave radio station. The scheme is so simple that even a fifth grader can do it. And they did! Young children and schoolchildren actively joined the movement, for whom this very "barrel organ" became the first self-assembled structure. Their enthusiasm is quite understandable. Published at the time (and now) books for novice radio amateurs suggested starting with the assembly of the detector receiver or at best a direct amplification receiver. Few people it can seriously interest, especially if the house already has a modern (for those times) radiolocation. And then immediately radio station! Such anywhere you will not buy, it already INTERESTING! Until now, in some provincial cities of Russia, the medium-wave range of 170-200 m "buzzes" even in the daytime when there is no long- distance passage. "Sharmanka" as 40 years ago remains a means of communication where there is neither the Internet nor the phone, and the casual earnings per week is 200-300 rubles. Radio-bully players are divided into two categories: "truckers" - having powerful transmitters, more interested in conducting long- distance communications (thousands of kilometers), and "organ- grinders" - with a range of action within their settlement. We will continue to call "truckers" and "organ-grinders" this way, although in other regions there were other terms - definitions. The main activity of organ-grinders was "to drive music". This activity, I must say, was in demand by society! It's no secret that Soviet radio broadcasting did not particularly indulge listeners with a variety of repertoire. Tape recorders, all the more - portable, in short supply. And here some "Commissar" or "Smoke" broadcasts the novelties of the Western stage, the semi-forbidden Vysotsky, and so on. It was possible to take a simple "transistor" and rest in the nature under modern music. The authorities, naturally, fought with radium-hooliganism as best they could. Illegal manufacture and use of transmitters was qualified under Article 206 of the RSFSR Criminal Code (hooliganism) - from a fine of 50 rubles. up to 1.5 years. Actually, therefore, with the light hand of some journalist, a neologism "radio bully" arose, and not because Free Operators indecently behaved on the air! Even posters with calls to "surrender" radio hooligans were hung up, but public opinion, thanks to "sharman" music, was on their side. Repressive measures clearly did not bring results. Free operators were caught, but they bred like mushrooms after the rain. Many after the first "voyage" resumed their activities. "Sharman", gaining experience, switched to "truckers", and they were replaced by new ones. If the musical repertoire only changed in the "shamanic ether" over the years and "staff rotation" took place, then the "truckers" had development. They left the Mid-Wave range backwards, to the "intermediate" ones. In the 70s, when the rapid development of the national economy began in the range of 33-57 and 150-170 MHz, the radio-hooligans-truckers thoroughly got used to their range. The power of the transmitters was increased. In response to the traditional wish - "kilowatt to the antenna!" You could easily hear: - "Yes, I already have more than a kilowatt!". What then were the radio conversations? Yes, almost everything! On the radio frequency range, one could hear a conversation on an abstract topic with the fascinating story "How I got drunk yesterday", anecdotes of varying degrees of decency, etc. Only politicians escaped - time was like that. There was not enough to get under anti-Soviet! But more often still talked about equipment, antennas, conducted long- distance radio communications (within the Union), competed - whose transmitter is more powerful and more qualitative. Gradually, among the radio operators of the pirate band, the policy of cultural radio exchange without a mate on the air began to take root, the topic became almost the same as for legal radio amateurs, (i.e., basically about equipment), but the spirit of freedom and free ether remained. Oddly enough, the state itself. As before, it was required to collect a lot of papers, references and characteristics from the place of work, autobiographies, to enter DOSAAF, etc., in order to design the KV call sign. From the day the application was submitted, it took at least six months, or even more. Initially, permission was given only for the construction or acquisition of a transmitter, and only then the actual work permit. These conditions only contributed to the emergence of new radio-bullies. (continued in the next issue) https://vk.com/radioreceiver (RusDX 17 June via DXLD) ** SYRIA [non].

(PI) THE CALENDAR ========== 20 June. 20.06.1998 - on this day, twenty years ago (as time flies!) In St. Petersburg, the commercial radio station Radio Leningrad began broadcasting on the 107.4 MHz frequency using the transmitting equipment of Radio Center No. 1 (Olgino). I remember an amusing incident when a representative of Radio Leningrad presented to our branch claims that after an unusually early end of the evening broadcast at 11 pm at 107.4 MHz we began to broadcast another music radio station. In the end, it turned out that "radiohuliganite" is one merchant's radio pirate, with the name, if memory does not change, of Radio Zagrebski ... (https://vk.com/club59176345) HISTORY OF DX AND RADIO ==================== RADIOPIRATES. (Ending, beginning in the last issue) Historical for Radio turpency was the 1980th year. The year when, instead of the promised Communism in Moscow, the Olympics was held. Seeing the barrenness of repressive measures, the authorities decided to make a "curtsey" - to return the radio range "160 meters", hoping thus to permanently get rid of radio-bullying. We counted on the fact that the Free Operators were en masse, racing, rushing to register their transmitters. This is indicated at least by the fact that for radio operators of the newly opened range a special series of callsigns, beginning with EZ, was singled out. They were afraid that the callsigns would not suffice. But in life everything turned out completely differently than the authorities planned! Some, of course, left, but the bulk refused to "become operational". Everyone had their own reasons and everyone made a decision on their own. In Russia, many simply did not want to change their callsign - the name ("Monday", "Star", "Serpentine") on the callsign - number (EZ of some kind). They did not want to give up the usual radio freedom, to reduce the power of their kilowatt transmitters to the allowed 5 watts. Yes, and the issuance of a permit remained the same tedious and long work. In Ukraine, in the farms, where every second couple had at least a transmitting console, and his grandfather a machine gun in the hayloft and a bucket of cartridges in a tub of fat, mobile radio control points with radio stations of the "160 meter" range traveled and through the loudspeakers "demonstrated" radio communication. People began to slowly pull themselves up and ask. In response: "Bring the passport, right here you will issue a permit and you are free." Not many people took it! The guys said: "We are free Cossacks and do not yield to the censuses". Although everything was for real. All-Union Radio-Bully Gulyai-Field did not want to give up freedom! It became clear that the authorities lost the "radio- hooligan war". It can be said that by the 1980s, a new type of radio amateur Radiohooligan was finally formed and took its place on the air. The 1990s brought with them not only the collapse of the USSR, but also gave new opportunities to radio-hooliganism. For example - the opportunity to buy military and imported HF radio stations. These years are characterized by the fact that the Free Operators have mastered not only the new ranges (some sections of the KV), but also their previously almost unused types of modulation, such as SSB. And also open in these years the C-band (27 MHz). Instead of a prefix to the grandmother's receiver, modern transistors and microchips that have become more available became available. The radio-bully of the 21st century is no longer an "organ-grinder" of the 60s and 70s. He is much better "armed" technically. Although in most cases the quality and perfection of the equipment is determined by those means that are not a pity to spend for the sake of a hobby. At the same frequency, people with different possibilities can meet: someone works on an imported transceiver, bought for a couple of thousand dollars, someone on a military radio station, who still has a primitive set-top box on one lamp - the limit of perfection, and someone on the homemade is not inferior in its characteristics, neither imported nor military equipment. Along with the "new Russians", "new radiohoolans" appeared, the main kind of "activity" of which is to foul on the air and intentionally interfere with radio communications. Especially this affects the range of CB. As the old-timers of the "free ranges" believe (radiohooligans who started in the 60s and 70s), the behavior on the air should not roll down to the level of foul language, as no one will gain authority, but on the contrary lose all respect. Let's recall the "organ-grinders" - their music programs listened with pleasure! And even sometimes the abusive songs they broadcast to the accordion did not cause much annoyance among the people, but rather vice versa. What can not be said about the activities of some, I will highlight SOME of the "new radio bully". Discussing the same technical problems of building the same antennas and amplifiers shows the literacy of each radio bully, it helps in development. Unlike amateur bands, where all discussions are limited, there can be hours spent talking about the prices of potatoes, politics, (now can), religions and all sorts of other topics that the radio regulations impose taboos. And yet the radio pirate is mostly the same radio amateur who does not want to obey certain rules that seem to him to violate freedom and restrict creativity. Radio amateurs, as the radio pirates with whom I managed to communicate, believe, should not be restricted by official instructions, otherwise this is no longer a hobby. I also note that this is the opinion of people who have a choice - to work on amateur bands or become radio pirates, people of different age regions and social groups. Radio-hooligans have neither leaders nor hierarchies. How many exist - are always persecuted, but from this they still do not disappear! There is in this and some romance, and hence attractiveness. Thanks to this movement without a unifying center and clear rules is still replenished and lives. Perhaps the only restriction in this hobby is the adherence to the general norms of morality and some established rules for decades. This Radio-Pirate will never be under the call sign such as "Maple" or "Barmalej" to work on the amateur band and even more to give a call at the frequency of rescue service. Currently, there are almost no measures to identify illegal transmitters operating on medium and short waves: in the fleet these frequencies are used extremely rarely, the agricultural SV / HF communication system does not exist exactly as much as the USSR itself, and radio monitoring is busy more revealing unauthorized telephone extensions working in VHF. Abroad, there is also such a concept - a radio pirate, but they, in contrast to our radio-bullies, focus on broadcasting, rather than radio exchange. It should be noted that in Europe and the US, radio pianos have more sophisticated equipment, mainly proprietary amateur and professional transceivers. Many of them are familiar and periodically communicate via e-mail. There are also known joint events: for example, operators of such stations agree among themselves and, at some pre-selected frequency, turn on to the transmission one by one, they broadcast modern music as a rule, one station works for two or three hours, after which another one is picked up . And the whole day at this frequency you can hear pirate stations! Frequencies and ranges of fans of "free radio" 1600-1810 kHz is the "pioneer" range, only AM works. The best range for beginners. You can take a household receiver. 2000-2200 kHz - "150m" - exotic. Here little people work. 2400-2600 kHz - "120m" - there are already a lot of people working. Only AM mode. 2900-3300 kHz - "triple" or "range of 100m". At these frequencies, the bulk of fans from the "pioneer" and 2MHz works. The transmitters are all different, for which one has enough money. Well, who also self-satisfied. They work mainly with AM. Empty airspace allows you to use AM. Well, quality - who is on that much. But everyone wants to do as better as possible without thinking about the spectrum. 2900-2940 kHz / basic 2920 kHz / - SSB with upper side. 6630-6670 kHz / basic 6660 kHz / - the same kind of modulation. A range some comrades call as "satanic". 10430-10480 kHz / basic 10460 kHz / - the same USB. Very good passage in winter. You can work on a rope and 5W for the whole of Russia. This "free channel" is one of the most popular. (https://vk.com/radioreceiver) Mass media ========= * Appeal. Collection of donations for the monument to the legendary radio amateer E.T. Krenkel. http://www.radioscanner.ru/uploader/2018/obrasenie_sbor_pozer.jpg (Ruslan Slavutsky, Moskovskaya oblast, Russia) * * Thanks to artificial intelligence, a technology company from Scotland was able to return the voice of an American journalist and radio host Jamie Dupre. Dupre lost his ability to speak because of a rare neurological disorder. He could be back on the air tonight. Jamie Dupre works as a journalist in Washington and broadcasts on the local WSB Atlanta radio station. In 2016, he began to lose his voice. He was diagnosed with dystonia of the muscles of the tongue. As a result of this disease, people lose control of their language, which makes it almost impossible for them to speak. Dupre was forced to give up his job on the radio, but continued his career as a journalist. He hasn't worked on the radio for two years, but this month he will return to the air with a new voice, which was generated by artificial intelligence. In this he was helped by the company Cereproc. This company has been working on the text since 2006. During its existence, it has created voices for 250 people who have lost the ability to speak. In the case of Dupre, the company processed his voice from the radio show to train the neural network in all the nuances and features of Dupre's voice. The Cereproc product is installed on the client's computer, after which the client can print everything he wants to say, and the text will be spoken once lost voice. It is noteworthy that the company works with people who never knew how to speak. They can get the vote they want. In addition, the company can revive the voice of deceased famous people. Ernest Vasilevsky, hi-news.ru (http://onair.ru/main/enews/view_msg/NMID__69569/) * REGIONAL RADIO BROWNERS MAY SLEEP SLEEPLY. TILL. On May 6, 2018, the Ministry of Telecommunications and Mass Communications of the Russian Federation hosted a meeting of the Expert Council on Regional Television and Radio, at which Deputy Minister of Communications A.Volin spoke about the idea that the idea of transferring radio to digital broadcasting is harmful and untimely This joyful fact for the near future will give an opportunity to all regional broadcasters to quietly continue the work of their radio stations without undue attraction of the latest digital technologies and fears about the glut of the market. In addition to the question of the inexpediency of introducing a digital format for broadcasting, other important issues on the development of regional broadcasting were also considered at the meeting. In particular, the task was to work out a possible legislative solution to the issue of the 22nd mandatory button for municipal channels. Also, the Ministry is tasked to conduct an experiment with test digital terrestrial broadcasting of regional TV channels in several localities of the Russian Federation in high resolution (HD) format.
