BLR / Беларусь

Radio Minsk is the only English language external service in Belarus.
Structurally it comes as one of the departments at Radio Station
Belarus -
the oldest
international radio broadcaster in the country. The idea that lied
behind the
establishment of Radio Station Belarus in 1962 was to provide the
Belorussian
communities abroad (mainly in the European region) with a link to their
homeland.
Originally the broadcasts went out only in the Belorussian language and
focused on the
politics, economy and culture of Belarus. At that time the radio
station was an
integral part of the Soviet Union's unified external broadcasting
system and the
programs also had to convey Moscow's point of view on world affairs and
events. The
fact that the output was aimed at the Western listener affected the
general
nature and
style of reporting. The senior management in Moscow realized that the
programs would
be more convincing and appealing if they were more or less comparable to
international
standards. Unlike all the other broadcasters catering for internal
audiences
in the
country the staff of Radio Station Belarus was allowed greater liberty
in
its coverage
and analysis of news. In 1985 when on the threshold of Perestroika an
enthusiastic team
of journalists working at Radio Station Belarus undertook an initiative
to
expand their
audience and launch a new service in the German language, they had to
get over
innumerable bureaucratic barriers to obtain permission from the
headquarters
in Moscow.
After the disintegration of the Soviet Union in 1991, as the whole
country
plunged into
the maelstrom of independence, Radio Station Belarus gained an
opportunity
to add to
its traditional focus an international perspective and thus increase the
interaction
between Belarus and the international community. Along with obvious
advantages the
independence however also brought in an array of new problems which
have to
a great
extent been a drag on further development but which the radio station
has been
struggling to overcome. In January 1998 new programs started to go out
in
English and
Russian. The English language service primarily deals with political and
economic news
from Belarus and CIS states, relations between Belarus and the world,
analysis of
current issues with an emphasis on the international aspect, culture
and music.

MOLDOVA? 7460 Payam-e-Doost R (P) 0524 with test tones
and start of program at 0530.  Talk by woman in Farsi, easy
music.  No ID I could get due to strong splatter, but matched to
audio on website.  Had been reported to be using 7465 for new
0530-0615, but that freq is blocked here by Overcomer via
WWCR.  Radio International, a clandestine directed to Iran,
was reported to be using 7460 at 0530.  A look at their
website doesn't mention 7460 at 0530, just the well-established
7490 broadcast.  The Bahai site still lists 7465.  My guess is that
the report of Radio International here mixed them up with the
Bahai and that the latter is using 7460 instead of listed 7465.
Site presumed on tones and the fact that they have been using
Moldova.

GERMANY / RUSSIA
GDR on LW and MW in 1945 to 1956. [c.f. BC-DX TopNews #598]
Has there been any confirmation for the use of 152 (or 153) kHz from the
Soviet zone in Germany, and if so, what tx was in use?

Excerpts from the Peter Manteuffel article about the Koenigs
Wusterhausen
site in the first "100 Jahre Funktechnik in Deutschland" book:

In July 1945 two longwave txs of 2.5 kW each were put on air again, one
for connections to TASS on 153 kHz, the other one as military bc
transmitter on 283 kHz. In June and August, respectively, two 20/5 kW
shortwave txs started a RTTY sce from Wuensdorf to the Red Army
headquarter at Moscow. Then the military bc tx was boosted to 20 kW,
effective from November 2 1948.

Another 20 kW SW transmitter started to transmit Berliner Rundfunk
progrming on 6070 kHz in November, a couple of weeks later the freq was
changed to the final 6115 dial position. Early in 1950 a second tx on
7150
was added. All this happened in tx building 1.

In building 3 another 10/2.5 kW [as stated, I guess PEP / carrier power,
the same for the SW txs] longwave tx was put on air for TASS [frequency
not specified] while a similar tx was started to carry Berliner Rundfunk
on 191 kHz on December 25 1945. On August 20 1946 a new 100 kW tx took
over and carried a mixture of Berliner Runddfunk and R Volga progrming
until another longwave tx was inaugurated in 1952.

So the 153 kHz txions were utility rather than bcing. Radio Volga was in
the beginning on 283 kHz, further freq moves are not described, anyway
from some time they were on 263, until the sixties using the 1946 tx at
Koenigs Wusterhausen, then the 200 kW Tesla at Burg. Berliner Rundfunk /
GDR radio longwave txions as we already discussed, first from Koenigs
Wusterhausen until the giant 750 kW tx at Zehlendorf was inaugurated. (I
think the 250 kW mediumwave units were giants in the fifties, too.)

But finally in the nineties 153 kHz was indeed operated from Koenigs
Wusterhausen to substitute for Donebach during extensive antenna
maintenance work.

Perhaps also of interest in this context: Very soon after 1945 the
Beelitz
radio office of the postal sce was reopened mainly because the Soviet
forces in Germany were not able to receive R Moscow progrming with their
own equipment in a quality sufficient for retransmission. A feed circuit
from Moscow was established but this connection was quite unreliable. So
the Beelitz radio office received the demanded progrming on either LW,
MW
or SW and fed it through bc circuits to the R Volga studio at Potsdam
and
to the Wiederau mediumwave tx.

The publication does not say how long Beelitz kept the Ballempfang sce.
At
1994 Wachenbrunn had an own EKD receiver and a list of current
frequencies
for a USB feeder which was on air for Wachenbrunn exclusively, I think
one
freq was 13360 or something similar. The EKD was placed on top of the
control console but more recent photos show that it is no longer there.

R Volga received R Rossii in 1993/1994 via satellite (certainly Gorizont
14 degr West), but the quality was not very good. Radioropa was relayed
out of a DSR receiver. This meanwhile scrapped system from the pre-MPEG
era (16 networks in 32 kHz PCM) offered listeners the option to adjust
the
volume on speech and mx independently to solve the old problem of
balanced
loudness of voice against mx (rule of thumb for putting together a bc:
keep pop mx 3 db below speech to avoid the mx appearing to be too loud,
but keep speech 10 db below classical musiv to avoid that the announcer
shouts at the listeners!) by means of transmitting special codes for
speech and mx, respectibely.

For some time the DSR receiver at R Volga was not properly adjusted,
resulting in terribly overmodulated speech. I'am not sure whether or not
it is really true but word is that R Volga also relayed MDR Sputnik,
probably just by taking the wrong DSR progr, probably intentionally, who
knows. (Kai Ludwig-D, BC-DX Nov 16)

The publication does not say how long Beelitz kept the Ballempfang sce.
At
1994 Wachenbrunn had an own EKD receiver and a list of current
frequencies
for a USB feeder which was on air for Wachenbrunn exclusively, I think
one
freq was 13360 or something similar. The EKD was placed on.

Thanks for reminding me on the details of the feed sce for Wachenbrunn!

The chief engineer there said that it delivered a good signal almost
always. Almost because reception was according Murphy's law disturbed
just
when the landline from Moscow really failed...

By the way, years ago Andreas told me about another USB feeder which
carried exactly the same progrming than 1386. Today their back-up for
cases of satellite link failures apparently consists on two telephone
hybrids, at least they had during such occurances only two progrs at
once
on air (for sample RNW and VoR En but no VoR Russian on 1215) and the
audio was of telephone bandwith with a high amount of non-linear
distortion, suggesting poor phone lines as feed.

The freq was 13370, bc from Samara RVS (RV-393) at 289 deg for some time
in the mid '90s. Other freqs were also used. (Olle Alm-SWE, BC-DX Nov
16)

It does, however, give new questions. Pre-1950 tx lists show "Radio
Moscow
homeservice" progrmes on 153 kHz, like the first edition of the "World R
Handbook" (Verdens-Radio-Haandbog) in Dec 1947: "North West Area
(Kowno"),
referring to the old Kaunas LW freq 153 kHz. Populaer R (DK) lists both
Berlin and Moscow (sic) on 153 kHz in January 1947.

My impression is that this tx in Berlin on 153 kHz has been carrying
a"regular" progrme (presumably a relay from Moscow) at least around
1947.
It would not have been listed in tx lists for the public if it had
carried
utility sces at that time.

Another question is wether another stn was also operating on Soviet
territory on 153 kHz at least around 1947. In that case the mentioned
usage of 153 in Berlin as a "TASS link" with Moscow as in 1945 would no
longer have been possible. (Bernd Trutenau-LTU/D, BC-DX Nov 17)
