Krasnoyarsk. ---------------------------------------------- Krasnoyarsk radio station "Authoritative radio" changed its name. Now it is called "Krasnoyarsk Glavny". Recall, the intention of the "Authoritative Radio" to change the name became known in April 2015. The reason for the company is the confusion with another radio station - Avtoradio. The website of the radio station has already changed its logo. The radio station has already used two names for a long time: "Authoritative radio" and "Krasnoyarsk Glavny". Now there will be one, - the general director of the media group "Prima" Dmitry Buevich explained. We will add, the radio station has begun the work in 1994 (the original name "Auto-radio from Krasnoyarsk"). Then the station was renamed "Authoritative Radio".

(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 [few?] 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 2 MHz work. 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 (via RUS-DX 24 June via DXLD) WEB RADIO AND TV IN RUSSIAN LANGUAGE ================================= TV.

The listener wrote that he sent out stamps for a return letter and a prepared answer and so on, which was only possible, but he received no reply. I decided to help him and with his consent - wrote a letter to the radio station, described the situation and asked to answer the letter to the German DX listener. It turned out that the station does not have any cards to confirm. Then I sent to the station mockups of cards of other stations and described them and most importantly no costs for sending by e-mail. And the unexpected happened. The station created its electronic QSL card and confirmed the report. I also wrote a report asking them to send a card to their DX corner and received a response. * Got an eQSL Humor FM. 08.06.2016 / 88.7 MHz / 09: 10-09: 45 UTC + 3 (AB) * Got an eQSL Humor FM. 24.06.2018 / 88.7 MHz / 19: 00-19: 30 UTC + 3 WEB: http://www.veseloeradio.ru/ E-mail: efir @ veseloeradio.ru You can see the confirmation here - http://rusdx.blogspot.com/2018/06/blog-post_26.html (AK) Russia / Austria -------------------------- * The voice of the Andes Two new QSL cards were received from the Voice of the Andes from Voronezh in response to reports for April 21 (apparently the report was not initially received by the station) and June 16, 2018.

He was born in Bialystok (now Poland), in the family of an inspector of a commercial school [1] [7]. In some sources, the place of birth is mistakenly called Tartu. German by origin.

There is a massive hobby for radio, only in one year the number of radio subscribers in Latvia increases from one and a half to ten thousand people. At the same time, the owner of the photo studio, a native of the Jewish family, Abram Leibovitz, quickly realized that selling radio equipment was a very profitable occupation. But only the production of their own models is a very time consuming process, but selling foreign ready equipment is much more interesting. But in Latvia there is a law on competition, which nullifies the entire benefit of such activities. A born businessman Leibovitz comes up with an exit: to buy ready-made radios in Germany, right on the spot to dismantle them, pack out spare parts and, in the guise of radio components, bring them to the country. Already in Riga receivers were collected anew and sold under the guise of local with the label A.L.Radio. So JSC "Ābrama Leibovica foto radio centrāle", became the progenitor of the legendary plant "Radiotehnika". Second dad In the thirties, Leibovitz invites a brilliant technician to work at the age of 22 who won the Ministry of Internal Affairs competition and collected two hundred regenerative three-lamp battery radiators for border guards. Alexander Apsisis, who is often mistakenly considered the founder of the Riga plant, did not work for Leibovitz for very long, since they did not agree on some working issues. Subsequently (in 1934) Apsitis decides to register his production: the company "A.Apsitis & F.Zhukovskis", which produces receivers of "Tonmeistars", and also produces radio accessories. At the same time, Leibovitz has a new problem: Adolf Hitler comes to power in Germany, which aggravates the "Jewish question". At the beginning of his reign, the country's enterprises were advised not to work with representatives of this nationality, so Leibovitz loses his main supplier of radio components, and he has to start developing his own models. The strategies of the companies Leibovitz and Apsitis were completely different: the first was a "businessman to the marrow of bones", he attracted buyers due to the appearance of his goods and powerful advertising. Absolutely commercial component of the business Leibovitsa made itself felt: if there was an opportunity to profit from loss of quality, he did not miss it. This affects so far - now the original radio receivers of its production are extremely difficult to find in working order. Apsitis, being an excellent radio technician, was chasing after the quality. His different models sometimes differed little from each other in appearance, but were assembled perfectly. Ultimately Apsitis made the maximum contribution to the development of the company, which later becomes known as Radiotehnika. The combination of a merchant and equipment In 1940, Soviet troops entered Riga, and the new government nationalized Apsitis company, combining it with several small private companies, and himself technology has made the general manager. Now the association was called "Radiotehnika". In turn, the company Leibovitz also nationalized - it became part of the enterprise "Radiopionieris". During the war, the Germans merged Radiopionieris and Radiotehnika, making them a subsidiary of Telefunken Geratewerk Riga. By the end of the war, in 1944, all enterprises tried to export to Germany, but thanks to Alexander Apsitis, most of the equipment was still preserved (in the boxes for transportation, he imperceptibly laid bricks and scrap), and when the German occupation was lifted, the plant again received his former director and the name "Radiotehnika". The enterprise intended to resume the production of radio equipment, but it was necessary to start with the help in restoring the bridge that was destroyed during the war through the Daugava. At the same time, the traces of Abram Leibovitz are lost, the last mention of which can be found only during the German occupation.
