Magadan -------------------------------------------- May 29 it became known that the radio station "Russkoe Radio" will be sounded in Magadan, the launch of the airwaves is planned in early 2019 at a frequency of 107.1 MHz. Magadan was the only capital of the subject of the Russian Federation, where "Russkoe radio" was not represented. Now the slogan "From Magadan to Jigan" of the advertising campaign "Radio of the Big Country" sounds completely justified! This year, "Russkoe Radio" completely covered its broadcasting all cities of the Russian Federation with a population of more than 2 million people (source - URL: https: / / rusradio. ru / news / radio / magadan-nastroitsya-na-chastotu ??? russkoe-radio! (June 25, 18) (ftp://ftp.radio.ru/pub/2018/08/19.pdf) Moscow ----------- FSUE Russian Television and Radio Broadcasting Network (RTRS) conducted a public procurement for "the supply of add-on devices for broadcasting transmitters." A partner of FSUE should put two "addition devices" on the Ostankino TV tower for broadcasting transmitters 101.5 MHz and 101.8 MHz, follows from the terms of reference. The purchase is carried out as part of an "experiment to determine the opportunities for optimizing the frequency spectrum in Moscow and the Moscow region," RBC told the FSUE press service, without answering additional questions. With a higher probability in the metropolitan FM-band will be another frequency - 101.5 MHz, explained the meaning of the purchase of three specialists in the field of broadcasting. Now in the Moscow FM-band, at 101.2 MHz, DFM, which belongs to the Russian media group, is broadcasting, at 101.7 MHz, Nashe Radio, which is part of the Multimedia Holding of the senator from the Kursk region Vitaly Bogdanov, is working. RTRS, according to RBC's interlocutors, intends to release 101.5 MHz for broadcasting, but for this it will be necessary to "move" the frequency of "Our radio" from 101.7 to 101.8 MHz. And the broadcasting transmitter for "Our radio" in this case will have to be transferred from Khoroshevo-Mnevnikov, where it is installed now, to the Ostankino tower. The representative of Multimedia Holding did not answer the question of RBC about the possible change in the Moscow frequency of "Our radio". "All radio stations during the experiment will work in the normal mode," - said in a response to the RTRS. Lobby for the appearance in Moscow of a new FM frequency is possible only with a very powerful administrative resource, says the top manager of one of the radio holdings. Who is interested in the frequency of 101.5 MHz, RBC's interlocutors do not know. Roskomnadzor, according to its press service, has information on the conduct of the RTRS work "in order to determine the possibilities for optimizing the radio-frequency spectrum." Possible solutions, including those related to the holding of tenders, can be considered only after analyzing the results of the work of the RTRS, the department notes. Until 2015, it was believed that the metropolitan FM-band is overcrowded, it already broadcasts about 50 stations and it is already technically impossible to allocate a new frequency for broadcasting. The latest available FM frequencies - 93.6MHz, 96MHz, 96.6MHz and 99.2MHz - were played in Moscow in contests in 2007. Now they are broadcasted respectively by "Kommersant FM", "Dorozhnoe" (European Media Group), "Detskie Radio" (Gazprom-Media) and Radio Orpheus. But in February 2015 Roskomnadzor unexpectedly announced a contest for a new metropolitan frequency of 105 MHz. To do this, we had to "move" from 105.2 to 105.3 MHz the frequency of the English-language radio Moscow FM, owned by the Moscow government (now - Capital FM). To applicants for a new FM-frequency, Roskomnadzor had only one requirement: the radio had to have a literary concept. By that time such a station - "Radio Kniga" - had already broadcast in Volgograd. Before the contest, its main owners were the soloist of the group "Lube" Nikolay Rastorguev and his son. Managing "Radio Kniga" company was the only candidate for frequency. Broadcasting of "Radio Kniga" in Moscow began in the spring of 2016. The amount of a one-time fee for the possibility to start broadcasting in Moscow Roskomnadzor determined for the owner the frequency of 105 MHz to 31.08 million rubles, or $ 512 thousand at the rate of the Central Bank on the day of the announcement of the competition. The market value of the metropolitan FM frequency in 2015 was estimated at $ 8- 12 million. These quotations are also valid for 2018, the head of one of the radio holdings admits. According to him, the latest deals on the purchase of frequencies in Moscow were held in this price range. In autumn 2015, top managers and co-owners of the Ural Mining and Metallurgical Company bought from the European media group the frequency at which Novoye Radio was launched, and in 2018 Emin Agalarov, as Kommersant reported, bought 100 from the Multimedia Holding , 5 MHz, which earned the "Radio Zhara".

Frequency secret and unknown but filed under UNID ---- It seems that wb has concluded the TWR Silk Road Transmitter is in Kyrgyzstan, the one on 1467 kHz, leading to this extensive mostly historical discussion in BC-DX. Instead of trying to unravel it into forward chronological order as preferred in DXLD, I am just copying it as appeared in BC-DX (gh) KYRGYZ REPUBLIC / Republique Kirghize / Republica Kirguisa. TWR's new Silk Road Transmitter. [TWR KGZ 1467 kHz; former 873 kHz 150 kW AFN Frankfurt Germany, wb.] 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, BC-DX via DXLD) 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.

Ich habe Luecken, die ganze jetzige Diskussion ueber Replacement von gebrauchten 100 kW MW Sendern aus dem BRD-Germany Bestand fuer TWR MW Sender im Ausland zu verstehen. TWR hat schon immer ARD Sender im gebrauchten Zustand zum Beispiel erstmals in 1976 im Ausland installiert, aus der Saarwelle Heusweiler 400 kW 1421 kHz nach Sri Lanka gebracht. Und der 1467 kHz Sender in Bishkek wurde fuer ganz Zentral Asien immer angemietet vertraglich genutzt, zuerst {Tesla made?} 30 kW, spaeter dann mit einer vom TWR/ERF bezahlt-errichteten eigenen {150 kW ex-AFN ?} Anlage im Dezember 2013 und neuer TWR/ERF bezahlt 4-Mast direct- antenna. Ist der von TWR damals bezahlte Silk Sender 1467 kHz 150kW in Bishkek aus dem Dezember 2013 nunmehr defekt, - und muss ersetzt werden ? Wohl nein.

TWR nahe Sadaye Zindagi Radio via Shortwave Relay Service, Krasnaya Rechka, HJB - ? Wird jetzt ein weiterer MW Sender dort in Bishkek errichtet ? Oder was ? Eher doch ein moderner 200 kW MW Sender fuer die TWR Gavar Armenien Station? Die alten UdSSR Leningrad Sender in Gavar sind doch bestimmt schrott-reif?

Re "Is 1377 kHz, R. Free Africa, Mwanza, (...) Gavar, Armenia with 600 kW is relaying TWR on 1377 kHz. (Jari Savolainen-FIN, dxld Nov 20, 2005) I was thinking there was something like that, but the WRTH 2004 freq list shows no such tx, nor anything on 1377 under ARMENIA, so I guess it be new. To find the TWR schedule, you have to look under, where else, AUSTRIA (Glenn Hauser-FIN [sic], dxld, Oct 2005) 1377 kHz, The TWR relay referred to in my message below is in fact via Gavar, Armenia, 600 kW, and prgr starts at 1925 UT, thence the old TWR IS I heard.

There are popular songs of Western and Russian singers on the air and also the daily releases of TWR prepared in the Alma-Ata studio. I Releases of TWR programs appear in blocks every half-hour in 1530-1600 UT and 1630-1700 UT. The address of the stn Technical management of the station is interested in reception reports and asks to send them to the address Timur Karimov. The reports about the reception of the programs, broadcasting on freqs 4940 kHz 1300-1600 UT and 4050 kHz 1600-1900 UT are also possible to send to the same address. It is desirable to mention in the letter that you would like to receive QSL -card as confirmation. (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 transmitter 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 station 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 minute long Farsi lang Christian program (origin or name of the program 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 transmissions 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 transmitter is situated in that part of 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 music, with only short annouoncements such as "This is shortwave", or "This is music on SW" Transmitters' location is Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan. Technical direction is very interested in reception reports. Write to Timur Karimov at It's recommended to explicitly ask for a QSL card in your report. (Alexander Polyakov, Tashkent-UZB, DX_signal March 13, 2003) Many DXers desire to have an idea who uses 4050 and 4940 kHz. 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 news with Alexander's report on R EXTOL, some questions arise: Is that the same station? 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. BC-DX #617] Mr. Siemens (TWR - German Office) provided some info regarding the collaboration between TWR and R EXTOL (1467 kHz in Bishkek). Initially, TWR supplied R EXTOL with several broadcast recordings, in order to make estimations of signal quality and reception conditions. Contrary to usual practice of broadcasting to Central Asia, those bcs were not prepared in Almaty studios. Then, starting from the summer season, R EXTOL must start broadcasting of TWR Russian/Kyrgyz/Kazakh/etc. services on a test basis, meanwhile developing the regular sschedule. Planned time for Test broadcasts is 2130-2300 local (must be ... UTC in summer. - Ed.)

Vashek, that's not lack of information, but protection of their intruder activities in the MUSLIM word in West Africa or the Middle East countries. That's common policy of few western Lutheran or Adventist sect broadcaster, in order to protect their aggressive transmissions as well as missionaries and mission organizations as intruder in the MUSLIM world target. Sorry, I don't know the exact target and the language of the 30 mins transmission on 11985 kHz, but West Africa target could mean TWR are aimed at a MUSLIM target in this region of the world too?

"As TWR tests the potential for digital ministry, it continues to break ground in the radio medium that the organisation was built upon. In May the unidentified Asian country that will be host to the PANI transmitter was granted a broadcast licence for the powerful AM project, which has the potential of reaching almost a quarter of a billion people in Pakistan, Afghanistan and north India. 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. 'Don't forget: We are installing the transmitting facilities in a part of the world where even simple things can turn out to be very difficult to do or to get'".

Also still shown at http://vcfm.ru/vc/Asia/bishkek.htm which also does not yet reflect the upgrade of 1467 kHz: A new four tower antenna (already visible in Google Maps, not yet visible in Bing Maps, so it is clear which one it is) and a new transmitter, described as 500 kW. There had been mentions of this being used equipment from Germany. If so ex-Wachenbrunn (1323 kHz) or ex-Burg (1575 kHz) would be possible. Now they say that they got also three used 100 kW transmitters from Germany of which one has already been installed at Swaziland and, obviously, the other two ones are now to be installed at Krasnaya Rechka: What would be possible here are the transmitters from the main mediumwave sites of Südwestrundfunk (Mühlacker, Wolfsheim, Rohrdorf), closed in early 2012.

Why listen to shortwave via the Internet ? Many reasons, maybe you don't own a shortwave radio and still want to tune around the bands. You can also tune in to signals that are in a specific target area but the choice of time and frequency makes it impossible to tune in at your home location. Your noise level is too high, and you want to hear a signal that you think might be audible in your general vicinity. With online receivers you can compare reception of the same signal at different areas and maybe even help pin-point the location of an unknown transmission? Are there many online receivers available? There are hundreds of online radios you can tune and the number is growing almost daily. The radios are often made available by fellow radio fans or amateur radio operators, or possibly a radio club, or radio group that just wants to have you listen in from their location. Where can I find these radios? Are they free to use? For the most part all access to listen is free and open to anyone that has an internet access. Here's a selection of some of the best locations of online receivers on the web. 1) http://www.sdr.hu This is the best resource for anyone that is looking to tune into the shortwave bands with a increasing number of receivers from almost anywhere around the world. They use Kiwi SDR receivers that means they allow up to 4 simultaneous connections at the same time, each tuning different frequencies in all modes AM USB LSB FM, some are wideband some limited to longware mediumwave and shortwave 2) http://websdr.ewi.utwente.nl:8901/ This one is set up at the University of Twente in the Netherlands, it is run by the ETDG Amateur radio club in collaboration with the Faculty for electrical engineering, Mathematics and Computer science Faculty. It can be tuned by hundreds of users at the same time, it is very sensitive and has very low noise, it is always amazing to tune around with this receiver 3) https://www.globaltuners.com/ This one is different. Most of the receivers are actual radios that are controlled by computers and online. They operate on the principle of 1 listener at a time and if someone is already tuning it you need to ask permission in order to tune the radio. It requires a free registration to use the online receivers. 4) http://www.websdr.org/ This is another great list of receivers, but most of them do not cover shortwave, many cover only amateur radio bands, some only local VHF UHF frequencies. Have fun tuning around the online radios!

Bringing free press to closed societies, RFA's first broadcast was in Mandarin on September 29, 1996 at 2100 UTC. RFA is a private, nonprofit corporation broadcasting news and information to listeners in Asian countries where full, accurate, and timely news reports are unavailable. Acting as a substitute for indigenous free media, RFA concentrates coverage on events occurring in and/or affecting Burma, Cambodia, Laos, North Korea, the People's Republic of China, and Vietnam. This latest design shows a standard RFA microphone flag used by many of our field reporters; this one rests on a surface in our Vietnamese audio studio in Washington DC. This is RFA's 68th QSL design and is used to confirm all valid RFA reception reports from September - December 2018. http://techweb.rfa.org qsl@rfa.org (https://www.facebook.com/rfa.qsl/) USA / Germany ------------------------ The Overcomer Ministry The Overcomer Ministry sent a QSL card for receiving broadcasts with the sermons of Ralph Gordon Stair via Channel 292 in Germany on July 16, 2018.

In the remote Latvian forests, not far from the place where the colorful waters of the Baltic and the Gulf of Riga are connected, there is a unique man-made object, which in the Soviet times was completely secret and was absent on any maps. And for that there were serious reasons .... We must pay tribute to the skill of Soviet intelligence officers. More than 20 years have passed since the moment when the object "Zvezdochka" (also known as "Ventspils-8", also VCH51429, the same 649 separate point for the exploration of radio emissions of outer space) was handed over to Latvia, and its appointment is still used by the most different legends, sometimes - contradictory. The main - and the most secret - part of the object were three radars - with reflectors 12, 16 and 32 meters in diameter, respectively. This equipment allowed, to search for objects in space to remove from them radio and electronic information, as well as to listen to phone calls and radio conversations of potential adversaries. All the data flowed to the Center - the headquarters of the GRU. The literature on this object most often mentions the wiretapping of the US State Department and the NATO submarine base in Norway, but for sure, this is not complete information, but possibly even a deza launched in order to withdraw conversations from the true possibilities of this technique. Be that as it may, the part has functioned successfully from the early seventies to the early nineties. Around the technical zone there was a guarded perimeter, next to it there was a military town with kindergartens, a school, etc. In the garrison lived more than 2,000 people - the military and their families, technical specialists, staff of the GRU and the KGB. After the withdrawal of the Soviet contingent from the sovereignty of Latvia, the military town quickly turned into a ghost town. Marauders plundered everything - there are not only metal pipes and railings, but even window frames. However, the abandoned military towns in our Trans-Baikal were sorted out by the locals more thoroughly - by brick, on concrete slabs ... but we will not be distracted from the topic. In the abandoned five floors - signs (or ghosts?) Of a once prosperous Soviet life. When we flew into space, we went in formation, rejoiced in a single impulse, and glued wallpaper to the new newspapers that wrote about it. The town and the antennas connected an underground tunnel - now the entrance is immured, but only recently it was possible to get to any curious tourist. And here he is, the same "Saturn". The height is 47 meters. It is 32 meters in diameter. Weight is more than 600 tons. At the time of construction - the largest radar of this type in Europe. And now - the eighth in the world. Perhaps, among all post-Soviet neglect, its existence in time and space can be characterized as successful. Judge for yourself. Leaving, our military took with them the smallest, 8-meter radar, and all the remaining equipment was thoroughly spoiled. Cement was poured into the mechanisms, nails were hammered into the wiring, large cables were cut with axes. Acid was filled in all electronic devices. As a result, Latvians received a pile of very impressive externally, but completely dead iron. Hot national moods almost led to the destruction of telescopes, but in the end they were decided to hand over to the Latvian Academy of Sciences. Honestly, for many it was like a mockery. What can a scientist do with a heap of scrap metal? But the Latvian scientists succeeded, with the help of improvised tools, Soviet books (all studied in some Soviet universities!) And such and such a mother to partially restore the functionality of the radars. So the Soviet "Saturn" on the "citizen" became the Latvian radio telescope RT-32, and the secret Soviet object "Zvezdochka" became the Ventspils International Center for Radio Astronomy (also VIRAC). And the telescope soon began to work really - for example, on February 16, 2013, tracked the span of the asteroid D14. Until recently, inside the telescope were guided tours. But with the acceleration of the pace of reconstruction of the radar, they replaced the fully restored reflector and replaced the Soviet heritage with modern American and European equipment. Today, RT-32 is part of a large scientific project, having entered the pan-European radio astronomy network EVN. That is, excursions, probably will be held, but the telescope, most likely, now it will be possible to look only from the outside. It is possible that the RT-32 will have new dual-purpose tasks. But from a scientific point of view, this is in any case better than destruction and oblivion.

News broadcast. ftp://ftp.radio.ru/pub/2018/08/19.pdf Silk Road Transmitter Project ------------------------------------------- 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?
