On March 31, 1933, the Committee for Radio and Broadcasting of the Leningrad Regional Executive Committee of the Soviets of Workers', Peasants', and Red Army Deputies and the Executive Committee of the Leningrad City Council of Workers' and Red Army Deputies (Leningrad Radio Committee) was established. On April 1, 1937, the Experimental Leningrad Television Center (OLTC) was established within its framework. The first broadcast was broadcast on July 7, 1938, and regular broadcasts began on September 1. More details in Russian + channel logos: https://vk.com/wall-194965312_19322 (https://vk.com/tvradiomsk) * 7 / July. ------------ On this day, July 7, 1938, the Leningrad Experimental Television Center broadcast a two-hour concert. The first electronic television broadcast in the USSR, which also became the first studio program on Russian television, actually consisted of two parts: a concert and a showing of excerpts from various films. Notably, it opened with the words "Dear radio viewers!"—there was no unified term for the people receiving the television signal in the country at that time. In fact, the July 7, 1938, broadcast by the OLTC was its last experimental broadcast, and regular television broadcasts to Leningrad, the first regular electronic broadcasts in Russia, began in August 1938. An archival photograph by V. Pokorsky shows the first OLTC sign, with studio operator Balashov standing at the entrance.

A router certainly does. If your router hasn't rebooted in the last six months, a year, or, God forbid, several years, read carefully.

This publication will be a true treasure for anyone interested in the history, ethnography, and contemporary life of this region. The book places a special emphasis on the role of modern technology in the region's development. In particular, one section examines the work of the Russian Television and Radio Broadcasting Network (RTRS), the country's key terrestrial television and radio broadcasting operator. This year, RTRS celebrates its 25th anniversary. For a quarter of a century, the organization has provided millions of families with access to high-quality television and radio. The authors emphasize that reliable television and radio broadcasting is not just a technical challenge, but an important part of the cultural infrastructure. The book will be of interest to historians, ethnographers, and cultural scholars, as well as to a wider audience who want to gain a deeper understanding of the North Caucasus and see how tradition meets modernity.

There are things that are impossible to explain to an outsider. For example, why two hours before airtime, a radio station has an almost resort-like atmosphere, while five minutes before the program starts, it suddenly becomes clear that the world is much less stable than we'd like to think. The most amazing thing is that serious problems never arise in advance. No one has ever encountered a situation where, three hours before airtime, a guest gets lost, the computer freezes, the internet goes down, and a necessary file disappears all at once. No, such things are too well-mannered. They know how to bide their time. If there's an hour left until airtime, everything usually looks quite decent. Editors are checking the texts, the anchors are reviewing the news, the sound engineer is pensively staring at the monitors, giving the impression of someone in complete control of the situation. Everyone works calmly, measuredly, and even a little relaxed. But then the magic ticker appears on the clock. Five minutes. It's at this moment that the Universe seems to receive a notification: "We can begin."

This is the conclusion of a blind listening study conducted by Crowd React Media. Moreover, over half of the participants have a generally positive attitude toward the use of AI in radio broadcasting, and their ratings of human and synthetic voices on key characteristics were virtually identical. The study, conducted in May and June among 1,326 weekly radio listeners aged 18 to 45, compared two radio station commercials: an announcement of a fuel card giveaway and a Mother's Day greeting. Each script was recorded in two versions: one by professional announcer Neil Wilson and one by artificial intelligence. Participants were unaware of which version they were listening to.

You can drive by car and always get radio reception. And it's not just one channel, there are many of them, and they're all good quality along the entire route. Here, however, after driving 50 km from Khabarovsk, the radio stops working completely. For example, in Vyazemsky, Bikin, there are no radio channels along the entire route. "It's the same thing on the way to Komsomolsk and Sovetskaya Gavan," complains Oleg, a car enthusiast. Amid the current outages, people recall that such problems didn't exist before: the signal was strong, and the ride was more comfortable and enjoyable.

QR codes are much smarter—they can hold thousands of characters, contain links, details, and even self-correct if part of the image is damaged. It would seem that such capabilities should have made older technologies obsolete. But that hasn't happened. The international organization GS1 plans to transition to two-dimensional codes by 2027, but in practice, the process is slow, and barcodes still have several significant advantages.

The radios, other than the name and dial design, are identical, and the upgrade is due to increased interest from potential buyers. Each radio is designed to receive broadcast stations in the LW and MW ranges using an internal magnetic antenna. Power is supplied by six A343 batteries or two 3336L batteries. An external antenna, headphones, and an external power source can be connected.

"VEF M-697," including kit. ----------------------------------------------------- I'd like to tell you about a contemporary of mine, the "VEF M-697" radio receiver, which has been produced by the VEF State Electrotechnical Plant since 1949. This all-wave receiver operates in the longwave (LW) range: 150–410 kHz (2000–732 m); mediumwave (MW): 520–1500 kHz (577–200 m); and shortwave (SW): 4.28–12.1 MHz (70.0–24.8 m).

This model is an export modification of the "VEF-202" receiver, intended for export to foreign markets. The receiver was also manufactured under the names "VEF-206 VEGA," "VEF-206 Reneva Electronic," and several other brand names, depending on the importing country. Its design and circuitry rank it among the second-class portable superheterodyne receivers.

Failed Broadcasts. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Switzerland. A Russian-language DX program on Canadian Radio RCI on March 19, 1990, announced plans to establish a Russian service on Swiss Radio International (SRI). A reference was made to a representative of this radio station speaking at the International Conference on Radio Broadcasting, which was then taking place in Canada. However, despite experimental SRI programs (in their usual broadcast languages) beginning on HF toward Eastern Europe and the USSR in September 1990, a Russian service was never launched. Many years later, after SRI ceased broadcasting in 2004, its website was transformed into the Swiss-Info information portal. Russian became the tenth language on this portal on March 23, 2013. His Russian page https://www.swissinfo.ch/rus/ (currently blocked in Russia) contains electronic newspaper content with a small amount of video material. His YouTube page is https://www.youtube.com/user/swissinforussian (Vladimir, Rybinsk, Yaroslavskaya oblast, Russia). * BC-DX 1658, 4 July 2026 -------------------------------------- Editor: Wolfgang Bueschel.
