TWR's new Silk Road Transmitter. [TWR KGZ 1467 kHz; former 873 kHz 150 kW AFN Frankfurt Germany, wb.] "Central Asia" FEB [Fellowship of European Broadcasters] Snippets 30 July 2018. "TWR's new Silk Road Transmitter has opened the door to renewed and expanded broadcasting of God's Word to 60 million people across Central Asia. Many parts of this land of deserts, mountains, steppes and oases are populated by unreached people groups and are hostile to Christians. The 200,000-watt AM transmitter will be able to reach into 10 countries where evangelical believers account for less than 1 percent of the population. For many, this will be their first opportunity to hear the gospel. Contact: "In January 2017, we were forced to reduce some of our program airings into Central Asia due to a 150,000-watt AM transmitter being taken out of service. Broadcasting was reduced from three hours to two hours per day. Now God is leading TWR to install the Silk Road Transmitter, a powerful 200,000-watt AM signal, which will increase our coverage area over Central Asia during prime time and provide increased capacity for more programs that listeners want to hear. To reach the roughly 60 million people scattered in the vast steppes of Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, the valleys of Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan, and Northwest China with the good news of Jesus, TWR is stepping out in faith to install a 200,000-watt AM transmitter to renew and expand our Central Asia ministry. TWR is seeking $593,000 to install and commission the Silk Road Transmitter and cover the first year of airtime. Will you prayerfully consider joining us?" "[...] March 30, 2003, TWR started broadcasting on a 150,000 watt AM transmitter into Central Asia. At the time, when TWR purchased in Germany the transmitter for the PANI project, several used 100,000 watt AM transmitters were offered for sale by German state-owned broadcast companies. TWR purchased 3 of them at a very good price. One of those transmitters was installed at our transmitting site in Swaziland, Africa about 2 years ago." At the end of 2016, the 150,000 watt transmitter in Central Asian was taken out of operation. From TWR's ministry point of view, we need a 200,000 watt transmitter. That would cover the most populated areas in Central Asia with a strong signal. This would only be possible by combining the two 100,000 watt transmitters (with a combiner) into one 200,000 watt transmitter. We praise the Lord that the owner of the transmitting site accepted the concept we suggested for the replacement of the old transmitter. We see this as nothing less than a miracle from our Lord and a major breakthrough after years of negotiations to renew the Silk Road Transmitter. Another spiritual marker is the additional demand for airtime on the PANI transmitter for Afghanistan. In recent months other ministries approached us requesting airtime. After completing the Silk Road Transmitter project it will be possible to transfer Central Asian programs from PANI to the Silk Road Transmitter freeing airtime on PANI to be used for Afghanistan. An additional advantage is that the Central Asian programs will then be aired at prime time in the Central Asia countries resulting in greater spiritual impact. [...]" Research by Prof. Dr. Hansjoerg Biener-D, 30 July 2018. (Prof. Dr. Hansjoerg Biener-D, via wwdxc BC-DX TopNews July 30) (direct and Glenn Hauser-OK-USA, hcdx and dxld July 30) Re: TWR's new Silk Road Transmitter. WTFK? Where is it? A little more research is needed, since TWR apparently refuse to disclose this info even to its supporters. Six countries are mentioned in the coverage area; we can rule out China for sure. WRTH 2018 page 481, brief KYRGYZSTAN entry says BIshkek 1467 kHz *500 kW is "operated on behalf of TWR", but that's too powerful, and not owned by TWR. Why is this treated as a big secret? (Glenn Hauser-OK-USA, hcdx and dxld July 31) {# rather 150 kW only?, wb.} Hi Glenn Probably because it's a cross border operation. I doubt if any of these places Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, and northwestern China will welcome an independent transmitter broadcasting "foreign religion" to their people in local languages. From the stated coverage area "Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, large parts of Uzbekistan, large parts of Kazakhstan, and northwestern China" and the omission of Afghanistan and Pakistan, I suspect the tx site would be in Afghanistan north of Kabul or in northern Pakistan. Perhaps permission to build/operate was obtained on the understanding that there would no broadcasts in the local languages. But that would be tricky for Afghanistan since the dominant languages in the north are Uzbek and Tajik. However it is much clearer for northern Pakistan where none of the planned broadcast languages are significant. Northern Pakistan would also cover the territories listed especially if the antenna was slightly directional with a null to the south in the direction of Lahore and New Delhi. So that would be my first guess. 73 Steve (Steve Whitt-UK (MWN Editor) July 31) Hi Steve, interesting theory. However, I believe that Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan have no problem renting out their SW transmitters to Christians, altho they don't shout it from the rooftops. The location of a 200 kW MW transmitter cannot possibly be kept secret; easily triangulated by two or three DXers in the region with loops or loopstix, if anyone cares to do it. Basic info about the "PANI transmitter for Afghanistan" is also lacking. (Glenn Hauser-OK-USA, hcdx and dxld July 31) Lieber Wolfgang, lieber Kai, lieber Harald, vielen Dank, Wolfgang, zunaechst fuer die Fragen und die historischen Informationen, die ich spaeter in meine Dateien einarbeiten werde. Als eine erste Antwort zitiere ich aus meiner Anschubdatei an Kai fuer die aktuellen Kolumnen des naechsten Radio-Kurier: Neuer TWR-Mittelwellensender fuer Zentralasien. Trans World Radio hat aus den Standorten seiner Mittelwellensendungen fuer Zentralasien immer ein grosses Geheimnis gemacht. Eingesetzt werden Gavar (Armenien) 864 kHz (500 kW) und Bishkek (Kirgisien) 1467 kHz (75 kW). Nach Angaben der Fellowship of European Broadcasters hat die protestantische Radiomission einen neuen Mittelwellensender fuer Zentralasien in Betrieb. Er wird poetisch "Silk Road Transmitter" (Seidenstrassen-Sender) genannt. Nach Angaben der Projektbitte bei musste man im Januar 2017 die Sendeplaene umstellen und kuerzen, da ein 150-kW-Sender (wo? vgl. unten) Ende 2016 ausser Betrieb ging. "Nun aber habe Gott TWR dahin gefuehrt, dass man den Seidenstrassen-Sender mit 200 kW aufstellen koenne." Man brauche dafuer USD 593.000. Ob sich nicht auch die potentiellen Spender und Spenderinnen von Gott entsprechend gefuehrt saehen? Die PR-Informationen im Umfeld der Spendenkampagne erscheinen manchmal etwas uninformiert. Im Juli gab es aber doch ein paar bemerkenswerte Informationen: So soll schon der am 30. Maerz 2003 fuer Zentralasien in Betrieb genommene PANI-Sender (also Bishkek 1467 kHz, 75 kW) aus Deutschland gekommen sein. Das ist so nicht richtig. Zum angegebenen Datum mietete TWR Sendezeit bei einer seit 2005 nicht mehr bestehenden Station. TWR sendete weiter abends auf der Frequenz und nahm im Maerz 2014 statt des alten Senders den Sender des PANI-Projekts (Akronym "Pakistan, Afganistan, Nord-Indien" vgl. in Betrieb. Deutsche staatliche Rundfunkgesellschaften haetten TWR weitere Mittelwellensender angeboten. TWR habe drei MW Sender zu einem guten Preis erworben. Einer sei seit zwei Jahren bei TWR Manzini Swasiland in Betrieb. Die beiden anderen 100-kW-Sender ersetzten jetzt den ausgefallenen Sender in Bishkek KGZ und werden ueber einen Combiner zu 200 kW verbunden. In dem hier zitierten "Interview" wird dann freilich behauptet, dass der Seidenstrassen-Sender vom PANI-Sender die Sendungen in zentralasiatischen Sprachen uebernehmen und der PANI-Sender deshalb fuer die Erweiterung der Afghanistan-Sendungen frei werde. Beide koennten dann jeweils zu den Haupthoerzeiten senden und damit den "spiritual impact" erhoehen. (Prof. Dr. Hansjoerg Biener-D, via wwdxc BC-DX TopNews Aug 1) und nun das, was ich hoechstens "gelehrte Spekulation" nennen wuerde: Welcher Standort? Mein erster Gedanke war: TWR ist im Dezember 2016 der Sender fuer 1467 kHz kaputt gegangen. Das waere fuer TWR aergerlich, aber nicht ganz so verwunderlich, wenn es sich bei dem neu installierten Sender 2014 um einen Alt-Sender (AFN Frankfurt Weisskirchen Germany 873 kHz?) gehandelt haette. Allerdings gab es auch in juengerer Zeit Empfangsmeldungen fuer Bishkek KGZ 1467 kHz. Natuerlich haette es da sich um eine Reservesender (den Vorgaenger?) handeln koennen... Bevor ich hier noch eine Spekulationsrunde drehe, warte ich die Empfangsmeldungen derer mit den ganz grossen Ausruestungen ab. Eine tatsaechlich gemeldete zweite Frequenz wuerde meinen Ausgangsgedanken ja widerlegen. Einen anderen Standort als Bishkek (S. Whitt: Afghanistan) halte ich fuer voellig abwegig. Geheimnistuerei? Ich denke, da vermischen sich mehrere Themen. Zum einen duerfte es fuer evangelikale Missionare in der islamischen Welt tatsaechlich geraten sein, nicht zu viel oeffentliche Aufmerksamkeit zu erregen. Andererseits koennen sie ja nicht anders: Sie empfinden ja einen Missionsauftrag fuer ihre Zielgruppe, die nicht unbemerkt bleiben kann, Und sie brauchen eine Finanzierung, weshalb ihre PR-Arbeit unter den Spendern im Westen nicht unbemerkt bleiben darf. Und da kommt das zweite Thema ins Spiel: PANI und Silk Road Transmitter sind ja nur aufmerksamkeitstraechtige Projektnamen. Ich glaube, dass die PR-Leute bei vielen Radioarbeiten die Details, die uns interessieren, entweder nicht kennen oder nicht verstehen/korrekt einordnen koennen. Das war schon bei der Recherche fuer meine Dissertation zu erleben, ist also ein altes Problem. Andererseits bekommen auch die grossen Auslandsdienste ihre PR oder Internetseiten nicht hin, und fuehren sich manche "Enthuellungen" ueber den internationalen Rundfunk in anderen Medien fuer den Kundigen selber vor. Veraenderte Ausgangslagen. Zum Berichterstattungsproblem tragen aber auch die DX-Experten bei. Die Einordnung von Meldungen zu "HCJB" unter Ecuador oder zu "FEBA" unter Seychellen zeigt, dass hier noch in Kategorien vor 2000 gedacht wird. Diese beiden Missionssender gibt es nicht mehr. Wenn "ich" eine eigene Station zu finanzieren habe, kann ich gar nicht anders, als "meine" Sendungen zu bewerben und zu erzaehlen, wie viele neue segensreiche Sendungen in neuen Sprachen auf meinem Sender sind oder wenigstens noch ausgestrahlt werden sollen. Diese "Leuchttuerme des Glaubens" als Teil einer Markenidentitaet sind aber weggebrochen. Die internationalen Radiomissionen agieren schon seit Jahrzehnten anders. Es geht um "content delivery" auf verschiedenen Plattformen, wobei der klassische Hoerfunk, geschweige denn die Kurzwelle nur noch eine untergeordnete Rolle spielen. Ueber Mediatheken lassen sich die Programme dauerhaft zur Verfuegung stellen und man kann hoffen, dass sie heruntergeladen und geteilt werden. Spaetestens im Projekt "die Welt bis zum Jahr 2000" haben die klassischen grossen Werke die Wende zu Sprachen- orientierter Kooperation geschafft. Bei den DXern haben wir dann die Verwirrung, z. B. die arabischen Sendungen von "R. Ibrahim" unter FEBA, IBRA oder HCJB einzuordnen. Sadaye Zindagi Ein weiteres Beispiel, dessen Geschichte und Details wir Aussenstehenden nur verstehen wuerden, wenn wir die jeweiligen Sprachen koennten, ist Sadaye Zindagi. Das gab es laut als Einzelprogramm in Dari seit 1992, aber Dari-Sendungen unter dem Namen gab es schon 1976 von FEBA-Pakistan ueber FEBA-Seychelles. Die Widersprueche loesen sich auf, wenn man weiss, dass es aufgrund von Produktionsproblemen teils jahrelang nur Wiederholungen, teils auch neue Anlaeufe gegeben hat. Es duerfte ja nicht so leicht gewesen sein, Dari- sprachige Christen zu finden, die auch noch Radio machen koennen. In Sprach-, nicht Senderkategorien gedacht, ist es sinnvoller, ein funktionierendes Team aufzubauen und am Leben zu erhalten als an verschiedenen Orten "mein" kaum lebensfaehiges Team. Und siehe da: Auf der angegebenen Website werden TWR, FEBA und IBRA als Partner genannt. In deren Spenden-PR werden die immer von "unseren" Partnern sprechen, aber diese Anbieter sind keine "Toechter" mehr. Vielmehr bestehen die, aehnlich wie die NGO-Sendungen, durch Formen der Grundfinanzierung und Projekte (ein neues Kinderprogramm, ein Frauenprogramm, eine AIDS-Serie etc.). Wenn mehr Geld da ist, wird man auch mal zusaetzliche Sendezeit kaufen (z. B. bei Bible Voice), aber im wesentlichen schauen, dass man ueber die Runden kommt.

(Alexander Polyakov-UZB, via Klepov RUS-DX, March 9, 2003) Comments regarding 4050 R Bishkek: I was just reading thru SWB 1504 on the web and noted some interesting about 4050 stn. There were 2 logs of 4050 R Bishkek. Well, this 4050 tx has been on for several months, but I haven't so far heard any Kyrgyz R IDs, and haven't seen any positive loggings of that kind of ID. The stn is on the air v1600-1900 UT (also reported around 0300) and normally has non- stop pops (Central-Asian and English) with occasional "Hit Shortwave" or "Hit mx on SW" ID's. At 1800 on weekdays there is about 25 min long Farsi lang Christian progr (origin or name of the progr unknown so far). The "Hit Shortwave" has also been reported on 4940, but rarely. In the same SWB bulletin there was also reported an e-mail QSL from Kyrgyz R on 4050 kHz. I wonder if that reflects the fact that these txion really originate from Kyrgyz R or is the v/s just unaware of the sw freqs used by Kyrgyz Radio? The 4050 channel was used by Kyrgyz R in the past and the propagation formula seems to back up the idea that the tx is situated in that part of the Central Asia. Hopefully we get some more information about this "stn" in the near future from some source. (Jari Savolainen-FIN, SW Bulletin March 9 via dxld, 2003) A stn which does not announce its name on the air operates on 4940 kHz (1300-1600 Ut) and on 4050 kHz (1600-1900 UT). Broadcasts consist of Western and Central Asian pop mx, with only short annts such as "This is shortwave", or "This is mx on SW" Transmitters' location is Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan.

Various observation related to that mysterious stn have already been published, with slightly different ID variants: "Hit SW", or "Hit mx on shortwave". If one compares this nx with Alexander's report on R EXTOL, some questions arise: Is that the same stn? Or maybe they are two different radio companies, but have a common QSL manager? I wrote emails both to Timur Karimov and to R EXTOL, asking to clarify this. But no reply yet... (Ed. DXsignal, March 2003) KYRGYZSTAN [c.f.

Donations to the major project have been exceedingly generous, but about 25% of the cost still has to be raised. 'The target to complete the construction is the end of the year [2012], but this is very much dependent on the weather conditions, on the suppliers and the subcontractors' said Werner Kroemer, TWR vice-president of global operations.

The radio station pool included Army FM, Radio NV, Hit FM, Radio Rocks, Kis, Meidan, Krym.Realii, Hayat. According to Kostinsky, broadcasting will pursue different goals - both for the Russian military, and for local residents. The broadcasting line is the exit of roads from Crimea to Kharkov and Kherson. "Of course, they could not do without the Crimean radio stations "Meidan", "Crimea.Realii" and "Hayat." They are for local residents, they also attracted popular broadcasters to expand the assortment so that people could listen not only to information programs, but also music ", - explained the official.

This member of the National Council Sergei Kostinsky said on the air of the project "Radio Krym. Reality." "We gathered all the information about Russian radio stations and channels in the Crimea, we gathered information about their leaders, owners, all the officials who distributed the frequencies between these radio stations." This is 500 pages of a large document, the final version of which we plan to present soon. all these people will get what they deserve, "he said. According to Konstantinsky, the National Council is now working with the Prosecutor's Office of the ARC, the Security Service, the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Ministry of Information Policy on this issue. "This is our joint project, and I believe that somewhere in September we will be able to fully present it," he added. Recall, in March 2018, Sergei Kostinsky said that after the annexation of the peninsula Ukraine lost 300 analog television frequencies, no less than 70 digital and more than 130 radio frequencies. According to him, "this will lead to sanctions against more than 30 Russian broadcasters who illegally went to work on the peninsula" (Source: Portal "Media detector"). http://proradio.org.ua/news/2018jul.php March 8, 2014, an important historical event occurred - the Crimea joining Russia, that is, the entry into the Russian Federation of the territory of the Crimea peninsula (with the Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol on it), which previously was part of Ukraine. The accession, or rather the return, of these territories to Russia was fixed by an interstate agreement signed on March 18, 2014 at the St. George Hall of the Grand Kremlin Palace in Moscow by the heads of Russia and the Republic of Crimea. Moreover, according to this document, the Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol were not simply accepted into the Russian Federation, but also became its new subjects. The Russian President Vladimir Putin, the Chairman of the State Council of the Republic of Crimea Vladimir Konstantinov, the Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the Republic of Crimea Sergey Aksenov and the "People's Mayor" of Sevastopol Alexei Chalyy put their signatures under this document. http://www.calend.ru/event/7347/ (RusDX July 29 via DXLD) Never mind what the rest of UKRAINE wanted ** KAZAKHSTAN. In Kazakhstan, an unusual Internet radio "Sector X" was opened: people with special needs, blind and visually impaired, work on it. This is still the only radio station of its kind in Central Asia. "We just want that there is no barrier, all the guys work absolutely for free, because they think that this is our common cause," says Saule Alpysova, director of the public trust "Doverie", who organized the project. "But we will have an agreement with the Ministry of Social Policy and the Department of Employment." While there are 10 journalists working on the "Sector X" content, in the future it is planned to double the staff. Before the work began, the master-class of the most famous Kazakh radio stars conducted the master-class with limited capabilities: they taught them how to work with voice, the technology of reading news, searching for information. Ilyas Fatkulin conducts the "Tiflozhzn" program on "Sector X" - how to make life easier for the same blind and visually impaired people as he does. Ilyas says that when he found out about the opening of the radio, he never doubted that this was the work that would become his favorite. "I was very interested in that, because I led some subjects and I can talk about it for a long time," he says. "In the program I tell how to use certain items, how not to fall, how to do something." Gabdulla Tumebaev conducts on the radio programs in the Kazakh language. He introduces the audience to the news and makes interviews with interesting people. "I gladly agreed to this work without thinking, because I saw this as a perspective for the development of people with disabilities," he said. Ilyas - in the past a participant of the well-known in Kazakhstan project "Sport without Borders", Gabdulla together with a friend is engaged in charity. The others also actively participate in public life. The program director of "Sector X" Sauket Berkut says that all of his leading radio stations do not feel themselves to be somewhat flawed in comparison with sighted people: "They are all with higher education, and not one, they are all interested, they always want to learn something, do something, move forward," he notes. While the new Internet radio is preparing content in the studio of the IT-University, but in the very near future the project intends to move to its own office. currenttime.tv http://onair.ru/main/enews/view_msg/NMID__69874/ (via RusDX July 29 via DXLD) ** KOREA NORTH [non].

Kyrgyz Service Investigative Journalist Dead at 28 WASHINGTON -- RFE/RL colleague Ulanbek Egizbaev, 28, one of the brightest investigative journalists in Kyrgyzstan, died suddenly on July 22 having apparently drowned while on holiday at Kyrgyzstan's Lake Issyk-Kul. Venera Djumataeva, director of RFE/RL's Kyrgyz Service, said Egizbaev had dedicated his life to being a voice for ordinary people -- for those who could not stand up and speak up for themselves. He reported regularly and passionately about these "unsung heroes" -- be it a teacher in a desolate mountain village, a young woman overcoming the consequences of a botched operation that left her blind and in need of dialysis, or a young disabled teenager staying optimistic despite difficult challenges in his life. For this last story, Egizbaev and RFE/RL video producer Mykola Nemchenko won a 2016 Webby People's Voice Award and traveled to New York to accept the prize. Egizbaev was also a dogged investigator, whom Djumataeva said "had become the biggest threat to all corrupt politicians in Kyrgyzstan." He reported on corruption cases in government, the Customs Service, various ministries, public-land distribution, and even a major corruption scheme at cemeteries. He was recently awarded a "Golden Pen" by a jury of veteran Kyrgyz journalists in recognition of his contributions to Kyrgyz journalism. Kyrgyz President Sooronbai Jeenbekov expressed condolences in response to news of Egizbaev's death, praising his investigative reports on corrupt government officials, and declaring that Kyrgyzstan "has lost a talented journalist who selflessly fought against the ills of our society." The government has announced that Interior Minister Kashkar Junushaliev will personally lead an investigative commission of criminologists, medical experts, a representative of RFE/RL's Kyrgyz Service, and one of Egizbaev's relatives to ascertain the causes of his death. Prime Minister Mukhammedkalyi Abylgaziev told his cabinet during a July 23 meeting that clear and transparent results from the investigation must be obtained and made public to prevent any speculation. Born on February 12, 1990 in Kyrgyzstan's Kochkor district, just west of Lake Issyk-Kul, Ulanbek Egizbaev earned a degree in communications from the Kyrgyz-Turkish "Manas" University in Bishkek in 2013, and obtained a Master's degree from Bishkek State University in 2015. He joined the Bishkek bureau staff of RFE/RL's Kyrgyz Service in 2013. He leaves behind his wife, Sapargul, whom he married in the fall of 2017, who is expecting their first child. https://pressroom.rferl.org/a/ulanbek-egizbaev-kyrgyz-service/29388251.html 24 July 2018 (via Dr Hansjoerg Biener, WORLD OF RADIO 1941, DXLD) ** RUSSIA. 9996/CW, RWM, Moscow time station, CW ID repeated many times in minute :39 and then pips starting with minute :40.

(https://vk.com/tv_fm) 1 / August ------------ * Today Mayak radio station is 54 years old. Exactly at midnight on August 1, 1964, the whole country heard the first callsign of the radio station "Mayak" on the motif of the popular song "Podmoskovnye Nights". (http://arhangelsk.rtrs.ru/tv/analog/rtrs-nachal-fm-translyatsiyu-radio-rossii-i-radio-mayak-v-severodvinske/) * "PARLIAMENTARY NEWSPAPER": "MAYAK" FOR THE ALL SOVIET UNION On August 1, 1964, the state-owned broadcasting company Mayak was airing for the first time. In the summer of 1964, the leading bodies of the Soviet Union decided instead of the 2nd program of the All-Union Radio to create an information and music radio station Mayak with round-the-clock broadcasting. By 1964, the number of daily issues of the "Latest News" on the basic programs of the All-Union Radio has increased to 50. But even such a large amount of radio information could not fully satisfy the information needs of millions of radio listeners. There was an acute need to create new programs, a sharp increase in the amount of information transmitted, and an increase in efficiency. These reasons also caused the appearance in the broadcasting structure of the new program "Mayak", created on the basis of the resolution of the Central Committee of the CPSU of June 24, 1964 "On improving information on the radio." The decree said: "The radio program" Mayak "should contain operational information (at least two issues per hour) about the most important events in the economic, political, cultural life in the USSR and foreign countries, brief comments on the topic of the day, sports news, reports, interviews, create by careful selection and thoughtful repetition of the most important news politically correct picture of the events of domestic and international life. Radio program "Mayak" should also consist of short programs of symphonic and variety music, folk, Soviet and foreign songs, pop-music, short stories and compositions. " Thus, the concept of a fundamentally new radio program was formulated. The novelty of "Mayak" also manifested itself in its unconventional Soviet radio program structure, which was based on the hour-long broadcasting, which included two short newscasts: in the beginning and in the middle of every hour. The news release was followed by music or some other material, mostly of an entertaining nature. Preparation for the broadcast of the new radio station was entrusted to the main editorial board of the "Latest News" and the main edition of the music broadcasting of the All-Union Radio. On the eve of the broadcast on the night of August 1, all the employees of Mayak worked hard, checked and edited information material, numbers, names, character and style of submission. Exactly at midnight on August 1, 1964, the whole country heard the first callsign of the radio station "Mayak" on the motif of the popular song "Podmoskovnye Nights". The new information and music radio station quickly gained immense popularity among radio listeners. "Mayak" began to receive and abroad. On the basis of the Presidential Decree of August 4, 1997, the Mayak radio company was given the status of an all- Russian radio station. Since August 1998, it is a federal state unitary enterprise and is a part of the VGTRK Integrated Information and Technology Complex.

Jasmine... :( HFCC Announces the Passing of its Founder, Oldrich Cip --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Oldrich Cip, founder and Vice Chairman of the High Frequency Coordination Conference, known as the HFCC, passed away on 27 July following a sudden illness. Oldrich was involved in radio since he was a child - first as an amateur radio hobbyist and later as a staff member of Czechoslovak and then Czech Radio in the international broadcasting departments. A college graduate in the field of Humanities, he spent most of his working life as a frequency manager and schedule planner. For a number of years he hosted a DX program on Radio Prague under the pen name Peter Skala. After the end of the Cold War, he believed that broadcasters from both sides of the conflict should come together and develop a new system of planning and coordination for shortwave broadcasting. This led to the establishment of the HFCC in 1991. Oldrich was Chairman of the HFCC until 2015. Since then, he was a Vice Chairman of the group. Oldrich lived in Prague, although he frequently spent time in his country house, where he enjoyed woodworking, guitar and country music, vintage graphics, photography and time with his family. His son Vladislav said he spent his last day there: "He enjoyed a quiet evening in the country house, with our families, all four grandchildren around, no symptoms of anything bad coming. All of a sudden, he suffered probably a heart attack or stroke. An ambulance arrived immediately but he died a few hours later." Oldrich was married with two adult sons, Oldrich Jr. and Vladislav. Vladislav is the HFCC Secretary who manages the day-to-day operations of the organization. From 1953 until 1997 Oldrich was an employee of Czechoslovak and later Czech Radio in Prague. He worked as a technical consultant for Czech Radio from 1998 to 2010. He specialized in planning schedules and frequencies, international coordination and distribution of shortwave radio programs for foreign countries. Beginning in 1959 and for more than 25 years, Oldrich produced a weekly English-language program "Radio Prague Calling All Radio Hobbyists," using the nom de plume Peter Skala. In the program, he answered questions from shortwave listeners in many countries and covered a variety of scientific and other topics from the radio industry. During the Soviet occupation of Czechoslovakia in 1968, Oldrich used his technical expertise to aid the "free Czechoslovak Radio," putting himself in danger in an effort to provide factual news and information about the events taking place. Thanks to the large number of smaller facilities of Czechoslovak Radio scattered all over Prague and complicated infrastructure that connected them, they were able to continue broadcasting for quite some time. In the period of reforms around the year 1968, he established secret contacts with his colleagues from Western radio stations. He re-established the contacts after the fall of communism and started an initiative to eliminate interference on shortwave. He became the Chairman of the HFCC, which has continued to meet twice each year in different parts of the world for shortwave stations to coordinate their frequency schedules for the coming broadcast season, thus eliminating interference before each season begins. The principles of international coordination were incorporated into the ITU's International Radio Regulations during the 1997 World Radio Conference. Oldrich was also an adviser to the Government of the Czechoslovak Republic in the preparation of the first Radio and Television Broadcasting Act after 1990, as well as a member of several EBU and ITU radiocommunication working groups. At the HFCC, he spearheaded the International Radio for Disaster Relief project whereby shortwave stations have allocated specific frequencies in each band for the transmission of emergency information in the event of natural disasters around the world. Jeff White, Oldrich's successor as HFCC Chairman, said: "The shortwave broadcasting and listening communities have lost one of our most important proponents. The contributions of Oldrich over the years are simply unequalled. He was a humble man, but people in this industry realized the importance of his work. And he has left us a lasting legacy - an organization which has largely eliminated interference on the shortwave bands, and it has enabled stations to use less power to reach their target areas with a good signal. For that, he will always be remembered." Oldrich Cip was also a frequency consultant for WRMI. His assistance was greatly appreciated.

The corresponding agreement radiators signed on July 19 at the premises of the National Council of Ukraine on Television and Radio Broadcasting. Last week, the association, known as the All-Ukrainian Association of Digital Radiomonitors "Tsiframo", was registered legally and held its first meeting. Head of the Association was the director of the radio station "Country FM" Bogdan Bolhovetsky, he also initiated the creation of the association, which became the radio stations of Ukrainian music "Country FM" and "Radio Zemlya", jazz Old Fashioned Radio and electronic dance Hype radio. The Association will be happy to see other radio stations that work in the Kiev figure. First of all, the Association plans to lobby the benefits for the suppliers of digital radio receivers: "We want to closely communicate with the National Council, and then at the legislative level to prescribe benefits for suppliers of digital radio receivers," said owner of Radio Zemlya and Old Fashioned Radio Viktor Savkyv. they are very expensive or because they are not needed by anyone, either because there is no market, or through technological or any artificial reasons. Perhaps we will be able to create a preferential program for the import of these devices. knowing information support in this regard.If the National Council and somebody else is not interested in the monopoly of media magnates on TV and radio, they have to do something to make the alternative source of radio have a right to live. " Director of Hype radio Andrey Solomaha added that the Association will also promote the digital radio by creating social advertising: "The National Council promised us to talk with the National Public Television and Radio Company about the launch of social radio commercials on the air of public broadcasters." The advertisement will explain what digital radio is, where and how it can be heard. " Recall that in the Kiev figure, starting from June 15, music "Zemlya Radio", "Country FM" and "Ray", public "Culture", jazz Old Fashioned Radio, electronic dance Hype radio, spoken "Ukrainian Radio" , the religious "Radio Maria" and the Crimean Tatar Radio "Meidan". In the near future, they will be joined by the military-patriotic radio FM Army, the music-information Business Radio, the electronic dance DJFM and the rock radio station Power FM, which won the second digital radio competition of the National Council on July 26. The capacity of the digital network is 14 radio stations, in place of what is left in the Kiev figure, the regulator conducts the competition. To listen to digital radio, Kyivans need to get special receivers worth $ 50-80, which are practically not on sale today. Coverage of the digital radio network today can be only 20 thousand cars with built-in receivers for listening to digital radio (Source: Medianjana Portal).
