Radio Bulgaria 85 years old
Speaking your language for 85 years
2021 marks the 85th anniversary of the Bulgarian National Radio’s foreign language service to the world. It all began on 16 February, 1936. One year after the Bulgarian radio was officially launched, what is now Radio Bulgaria went on the air. It was a Sunday when Radio Sofia’s full morning programme was launched, to reach Europe, North America and North Africa.
Now, 85 years later, Radio Bulgaria is still talking to the world about the country in English, German, French, Spanish, Russian, Serbian, Greek, Albanian, Turkish and Bulgarian.
Our special feature presents intriguing facts from the history of Radio Bulgaria, its golden voices, as well as reminiscences from the people who have worked at Radio Bulgaria through the years.

ALL INDIA RADIO RUSSIAN SERVICE
Здравствуйте, уважаемые коллеги по радио-хобби!
Хочу обратить Ваше внимание на ситуацию с Всеиндийским Радио на русском языке. После приостановления вещания с марта 2020 года из-за пандемии коронавируса, редакция ушла на удалённую работу. С 17 декабря публикации новостей и комментариев на официальном сайте русской службы были прекращены. Многие службы радио уже восстановили свою работу в том или ином формате. Также в январе было анонсировано и возобновление вещания русской службы (причём в DRM-формате), которое в итоге так и не состоялось. Группой энтузиастов, которым не безразлично русскоязычное вещание, предложено написать обращение к руководству Всеиндийского радио с требованием возобновления вещания, причём в аналоговом формате. В прикреплённом файле указан текст обращения. Предлагается обращение неравнодушным слушателям "подписать", прислав своё имя, фамилию,
электронный адрес на следующий e-mail:save-air-russian@yandex.ru
P.s.
В прошлом подобный случай имел успех (с изменением вещательной частоты русской службы). Есть надежда, что руководство радио, увидев обращение и количество подписавшихся под ним, также пойдёт навстречу радиослушателям. Предварительное окончание сбора подписей 28 марта 2021 года.
Просьба посодействовать распространению информации.
Всех благ!
ENGLISH
Dear AIR executives,
This petition comes from a group of radio listeners in Russia, other countries of the
former Soviet Union and beyond. We are concerned about the situation of the All India Radio Russian Service, which was suspended in March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. By now, many AIR language services have already resumed their broadcasts. The resumption of the Russian Service was declared, too, but it didn't take place yet.(That's because of insufficient staffing level, as some media tell us.) We are afraid that AIR senior management doesn't pay much attention to the Russian Service, and we really fear that Russian broadcasts may be ceased in this scenario. When meeting each other, politicians of our countries always stress the importance
of further steps towards strengthening of friendship and cooperation. In our opinion, All India Radio is one of the main players in the cooperation process, in line with its mission to introduce listeners to both the culture and the news of India -and most importantly, to approach to the target audience in their mother language. Please also keep in mind that using the DRM transmission mode would drastically restrict the number of potential listeners. The vast majority of us listen to the shortwave radio in analog mode, i.e. AM. That's because of the lack of affordable DRM receiving equipment in our markets. There are only conventional units, and they are only capable of analog radio reception. For many years until recently, we were listening to newscasts from New Delhi, Indian press reviews, beautiful songs from Indian films and music at our requests. Please don't let such a fruitful connection to break! We sincerely hope to hear our favorite AIR Russian programs back on the air soon. Relying on your comprehensive approach, we believe that the positive solution can be found as soon as possible.
Thank you! Names and contact details of signatories to this petition are attached.
It is proposed to "sign" the appeal by sending your name, surname, country, city, email address to the following e-mail: save-air-russian@yandex.ru

Уважаемые представители руководства AIR!
К вам обращается группа радиослушателей из России и других стран бывшего Советского Союза. Мы обеспокоены судьбой подразделения
Русской службы All India Radio, работа которой была приостановлена в марте 2020 года на время пандемии COVID-19. Многие службы уже восстановили свою работу в том или ином формате. Было анонсировано и возобновление русской службы Вашей радиостанции. Однако возвращение в эфир так и не состоялось (по некоторым данным - из-за нехватки сотрудников в штате). Нам кажется, что руководящее звено AIR не уделяет достаточного внимания Русской службе, и мы всерьез опасаемся, что в таких условиях, она вскоре может быть закрыта. На встречах наших политиков постоянно подчеркивается важность укрепления дружбы и межгосударственного сотрудничества наших стран. Мы считаем, что Всеиндийское Радио является одним из основных проводников такого сотрудничества, знакомя слушателей, как с культурой, так и с новостями Индии, причем самое главное - обращаясь к целевой аудитории на ее языке. Просим также учесть, что перевод вещания в формат DRM резко сузит круг ваших слушателей. Подавляющее большинство из нас слушают радио на коротких волнах в аналоговом формате (АМ). Причина - в отсутствии на рынке доступных по цене DRM-приемников. В основном мы пользуемся обычными радиоприемниками, а они рассчитаны только на аналоговые сигналы. До недавних пор в течение многих лет на волнах Всеиндийского Радио мы cлушали выпуски новостей из Дели, обзоры индийских газет, красивейшие песни из индийских кинофильмов и музыку по запросам радиослушателей. Не дайте разрушить эту ценную связь! Мы очень надеемся скоро вновь услышать в эфире любимые передачи Всеиндийского Радио на русском языке. Мы верим, что вы проявите профессионализм и сможете решить вопрос положительно.
Благодарим вас! Прикрепляем к этому письму имена и контакты слушателей, заявивших о поддержке этого обращения.

Information from Channel 292
Many listeners already noticed, that from Saturday, 15.28 UTC until Monday, 09.10 UTC we have been off air.
Reason was a heavy storm, that caused severe damage to our antennas.
All 3 frequencies are back on air now, but the beam is seriously damaged and repair will last 1 to 2 week, we guess.
We say thank you to all of you, who have already sent donations to help us to cover the costs; if you are on plan to do this: PayPal to info @ channel292.de.
Because you don't need a protection for a buyer, please use the "Friends and Family" option, because otherwise PayPal will deduct fees for a service, that does not make sense here.
(Bank account on request).
We will keep you up to date how the work on the beam goes on!

Special program of Texas Radio Shortwave March 14 2021
Occasionally, we run across a new artist we feel listeners might be interested in. A couple of weeks ago, friend and listener Robert Kipp in Germany read a newspaper article about a budding German country & western artist with Austin roots.
Her name is DanaMaria Rühlemann. She’s 27. She’s just released a 13-track CD entitled “Desert Diamond,” inspired by her summers clubbing in Austin and listening to Stevie Ray Vaughan, Willie Nelson, Emmylou Harris, and Cheryl Crow.
In the newspaper article, DanaMaria laments not being about to tour and play in front of live audiences because of the Coronavirus. To help DanaMaria get her songs heard in Europe and North America, we're pleased to say that we've scheduled a program of her music on Channel 292 according to this schedule:
Sunday, March 14, 2021
0200 UTC WRMI 5950 kHz
1500 UTC 6070 kHz Channel 292
1700 UTC 3955 kHz Channel 292.
We'll offer a limited edition, NUMBERED eQSL for correct reports. We might even send out some hard-copy signed QSLs if we feel generous. You won't know what you'll receive until you send us a report.
