WHAT THE SHEETS AND MEDIUM WAVES ARE LISTENING TO YAKUTSKY REINDEERS [sic] Yakut politician Afanasy Maksimov in one of the July posts on his Facebook page wrote about the problem with the availability of broadcasting in the mountains of Verkhoyansk. Due to the cessation of broadcasting on short and medium waves in Yakutia, local reindeer herders are literally cut off from civilization. Yakut journalists discussed the problem with Viktor Sleptsov, the head of the Orto Salaa production cooperative of the Verkhoyansk ulus, who confirmed that reindeer herders have not heard Yakut or Russian broadcasting for the third year, and the only window in the world for them are Radio Liberty and International Radio China. " "For us, radio is a window to the world. We listen only to the radio, we learn all the news, it's a formed habit for years, and an accessible way of obtaining information. But for three years now the radio is inaccessible to us. (...) Now we are forced to listen to Radio Liberty and the Chinese radio in Russian. They catch very well, without interference. We listen for hours to the political situation in Ukraine. We already know more about this country than about Yakutia. And we also have access to the Chinese radio, where they talk about the communist brothers, "Sleptsov told the Yakut journalists. He complained that reindeer herders are very short of news about events in the country and the republic, concerts of pop stars, radio shows. "It's insulting and scary - suddenly a war, but we will not know," said the head of the community. Republican journalists write that the problem of shortwave and medium wave reception is relevant for all reindeer herders of Yakutia. The Ministry of Communications and Information Technologies of Yakutia, in turn, reported that the resumption of broadcasting on HF and SW is a federal issue. The agency also said that, after stopping the operation of a powerful radio broadcasting complex in the republican budget, they found money that they sent to increase the volume of Yakutia broadcasting in the FM band. "... the resumption of powerful broadcasting requires the decision and funding of the federal level. Today, the development is in the framework of FM broadcasting. Due to the moral and physical obsolescence of the equipment, which caused frequent breakdowns, pauses in broadcasting, as well as the inability to update the transmitters in connection with the cessation of their production, it was decided to turn them off in Yakutia from May this year. The released funds were directed to increase the volume of Yakut broadcasting in the FM-band. Until July 1, Sakha radio (now "Tetim") was broadcast in the uluses for a total of only 10 hours a day with two breaks. Radio listeners repeatedly pointed out the inconvenience of such interruptions and raised the issue of uninterrupted broadcasting in the settlements of the republic. Since July 1, the license of the NBC "Sakha" has been re-registered for 17-hour broadcasting in the regions of the republic, in Yakutsk the republican radio "Tateim" broadcasts 24 hours a day, "the Ministry said. The national broadcasting company "Sakha" (Yakutia) resumed broadcasting in Yakut and Russian on short waves on May 6, 2016. Since April 27, 2018, broadcasting on HF has been terminated due to the stoppage of funding. * The article was prepared based on materials: http://sakhaday.ru/news/pochemu-olenevody-v-yakutii-vynuzhdeny-slushat-radio-svoboda/ https://www.facebook.com/afanasy.maksimov http://www.novosibdx.info/schedules.html https://kolkeradio.blogspot.com/2018/08/blog-post_5.html (RusDX Aug 19 via DXLD) ** UKRAINE.

Unfortunately just a car radio (10 kHz steps) and didn't hear anything too interesting (looking for Hawaiians) but did hear Russian language on 850 at 1245Z that caught my attention. I didn't think much of that until I later Google searched and discovered that this was a station from Nome AK broadcasting Russian to the west, directionally. By 1300Z the station was gone as the grey line moved on. This was the first time I've heard or even heard of this curious station. On the same drive the previous day I had the pleasure of visiting the Rockwork locations on the Oregon coast.

[KICY 850] Very common here in the Winter, as well as KNOM [780] (Patrick Martin, Seaside OR, KGED QSL Manager, IRCA via DXLD) Romania -------------- The Russian service of Interradio Romania (Radio Romania International) temporarily stopped broadcasting in digital DRM format at frequencies of 7,390 and 9,580 kHz due to malfunctions on one of the transmitters. At these frequencies, ether is broadcast in the classical standard. This is reported in the announcement of the Russian service announcer in the air blocks at 04.30, 13.00 and 15.00 on the world time. Reception in the morning hours at a frequency of 7390 kHz in analog format in Moscow is more or less stable, there are no interfering stations, atmospheric noises of medium strength. "For technical reasons, one of the transmitters does not work in Tsiganesti, which belongs to Radiocom, as a result of which the transmissions of the IRP in Russian will be broadcast only in analog format. The first transmission of the day at 7390 kHz will be output at the same frequency only in analog format, also the third day transmission at 9580 kHz will not be transmitted in the digital standard, but only in the analog standard at the same frequency. We will inform in our programs, as soon as this provision is corrected, "the announcement of the station says. (https://kolkeradio.blogspot.com/2018/08/drm.html#more) * Interradio Romania has been working in analog mode for several days in the morning and evening programs. August 19 took them from 15.00 to 15.26 UTC at the frequencies 7360 and 9580 kHz with a good signal at both frequencies. Today, on August 23, 2013, I received the morning transfer at 9770 and 7390 kHz in analog mode. At a frequency of 9770 kHz, the reception is more powerful than at 7390 kHz.

As it became known to the correspondent of the "Championship" Oleg Lysenko, even this year, "Sport FM" may appear a competitor. Currently, the authors of the project are negotiating with potential investors about the financing of the station. It is expected that at first it will broadcast on the Internet, and eventually will appear in the FM-band. The launch of the station is scheduled for December 2018. The previous team of managers, leading and correspondents of Radio Sport FM will take part in the project implementation. Earlier it became known that the "European Media Group" would expand the format of the country's only sports radio station.
