Machine translation: http://translate.google.ru & https://translate.yandex.ru/ & https://www.bing.com/translator ----------------------------------------------------------------- ============== EDITOR'S NEWS ============== * 40th Anniversary of the Founding of the St. Petersburg DX Club. ------------------------------------------------------- "RUS-DX" # 1399 newsletter (21 June 2026), an article about the Leningrad DX circle mentioned many names I had the opportunity to meet and interact with in 1990. A little later, Alexey Osipov, Mikhail Timofeev, and Valentin Ershov from Tallinn joined our table at the restaurant, where the four of us were (as I wrote earlier). I exchanged addresses with Alexey and Valentin, but corresponded briefly only with Valentin. The Leningraders gave me a WRTH directory (guests from Finland had brought several for the Soviet participants of the rally), which I'd heard a lot about but had never held in my hands before. They also handed out the "Exotic DX News" newsletter to anyone who wanted one. The day after the rally, I met Willy Voldemarovich Varapaev at the Myagkov Palace of Culture, where I happened to be standing next to him as he translated Pavel Mikhailov's speech for the foreign guests. Willy was fluent in Finnish (he's apparently half-Finnish), as well as Swedish, English, and German. The previous day, at the restaurant, I hadn't seen any Germans or Swedes among the rally guests, but I did meet the host of the Belgian Radio (BRT) English Service DX program, "Brussels Calling." Frans Vossen gave me a set of BRT DX paraphernalia and signed a postcard with a photo of him among his English Service colleagues. Sigitas (host of the DX program "Hello, DXers!") helped me with the conversation, as he spoke better English. Incidentally, Sigitas and I spent a lot of time there, and he recorded an interview with me for his program. (Vladimir, Rybinsk, Yaroslavskaya oblast, Russia). * 73! ---- In this issue's "From Kamchatka to the Baltic" section, under the Kostroma Region heading, we encountered the phrase "Limited Liability Company (LLC) 73," which is the founder of the regional channel, Pioneer FM. A little about the "73" code. In amateur radio, the "73" code traditionally means "best wishes" or "with respect." This abbreviation is used as a polite farewell at the end of a QSO, both in telegraph (Morse code) and on the air. The tradition of encoding phrases with numbers originated in the late 19th century in wire telegraph to save time. The well-known American telegraph code (Phillips code) included the number 73 as an abbreviation for "My love to you," which later evolved into the more formal and universal "Best regards." In amateur radio etiquette, "73" is considered a self-contained phrase, so saying "73-ies" (in the plural) is grammatically incorrect. Furthermore, there are other popular digital codes, for example: "88" — love and kiss. "72" — best wishes when operating at low power (QRP). "55" — a friendly handshake. ========================= FROM KAMCHATKA TO THE BALTICS ========================= * Russia. ------------ Radio Kultura Radio Kultura, 5th Yamskogo Polya Street, 19-21, Moscow, 125040, https://smotrim.ru/channel/200 Russia Email: radio@vitpc.com Internet: https://vgtrk.ru/cultradio VKontakte: https://vk.com/cultradio91_6fm?w=club138400355 24/7: Identification: "Radio Kultura" https://smotrim.ru/channel/248 (Now on Air banner, "Start" button) http://icecast-vgtrk.cdnvideo.ru/kulturafm http://icecast-vgtrk.cdnvideo.ru/kulturafm_mp3_192kbps http://icecast-vgtrk.cdnvideo.ru/kulturafm_mp3_128kbps http://icecast-vgtrk.cdnvideo.ru/kulturafm_mp3_64kbps http://icecast-vgtrk.cdnvideo.ru/kulturafm_aac_64kbps http://icecast-vgtrk.cdnvideo.ru/kulturafm_aac_32kbps (Directory "Russian-Language Radio Broadcasting.

Over the years of working in radio, I've met a huge number of people who know exactly how to make radio. Some of them work as taxi drivers, some in stores, some in banks. And some have never even been in a broadcast studio. But they all have one thing in common: they know everything. Sometimes I feel like there's a parallel universe somewhere, populated exclusively by brilliant program directors, music editors, and world-class presenters. It's just that by some strange twist of fate, they all work in completely different places. Getting to know someone usually follows a similar pattern. Someone learns you're involved in radio, and a special sparkle lights up in their eyes. This is the look of someone who's kept an important secret for years and has finally found a worthy listener.

While you're reading this article, your phone has already sent data about your location, your app list, and maybe even how long you looked at the screen before unlocking it. Sounds paranoid? Actually, that's a typical day for the average Android smartphone. According to mobile security analysts, the average app requests between 5 and 12 permissions, half of which it actually uses. The rest are hoarded for advertising networks and sale to third parties. The problem isn't just one spyware app, but dozens of harmless programs that together create a detailed dossier on you.

But then came telephones, then smartphones, and the old telegraph became unnecessary in the new modern world.

But there is a certain paradox: the audience of some blocked social networks has surprisingly grown: people are using methods to circumvent the blocking to continue using the service (this is not yet prohibited by law). According to a new analysis by the Rodnaya Rech media group, the reach of internet services banned in Russia demonstrated unexpected stability in the first half of 2026. Despite the blocking, some platforms not only retained their users but also significantly increased their daily traffic. The data is cited by Kommersant.

Strategy: Emphasizing the boundlessness and accessibility of the ether, anytime and anywhere. Contrast/paradox: Radio everywhere, walls nowhere. The ether flies above borders. Sound without maps or countries. The freedom of sound knows no bounds. A world without castles on the waves. Visual: Radio is a guiding star. Waves pave the way to dreams. Sound in the sky and in your pocket. The ether is in every corner of the planet. Lighter than the wind, closer than the heart. Wordplay/rhyme: The ether flies without boundaries. Sound is where there are no boundaries. Radio is everywhere and always. Your channel is limitless. Sounds rush between worlds. Emotional appeal: Catch the ether anywhere. Live without boundaries with us. Make the world louder and closer. Hear the freedom of sound now. Turn it on wherever you want, whenever you want.
