Music Wave Radio 3940 AM 2035 UTC 08 AUG 2024

2140 The DJ has just invited you to listen to the station also on the launched channel 1575 kHz
2303 despite the fact that the DJ had previously said goodbye to the listeners, after the Russian anthem they continue to broadcast without ID - a ballads about the army
2358 DJ E ID Music Wave Radio,world music corner conducted by Evgenyi,thematic blocks last about 50'

  :) I received additional information from our friend Alex to organize the subject of Russian free radio on channel 3940/1575 kHz.
    So it is as follows:
Bay of Free Waves station - the animator is Vadim Komarov from Belarus
- interesting info here https://swling.ru/2022/01/28/radio-buhta-svobodnyh-voln-nemnogo-ob-istorii-proekta/
Radio Five Corners and Music Wave Radio stations - Evgenij Ivanov from St. Petersburg
These are stations using internet streaming downloaded from a Russian server. Vadim encouraged other Russian free broadcasters to download thematic blocks from this server and publish them on their stations. Airtime on these transmitters was shared by these three streaming stations.
 The locations of the transmitters are ambiguous. The 1575 kHz transmitter that needed a mast probably used a Belarusian center located near the nord border with Russia. The 3940 kHz (stationary) transmitter was located "in the swamps" near St. Petersburg, then near Smolensk. The operator bought a military surplus radio station on a car and shortly after its renovation and adaptation, he went to Donbas occupied by the Russians, where he was "received favorably".
 Due to problems in the war zone with power supply and internet streaming (the existing network via Ukrainian servers was failing), the hard-to-obtain transmitting lamps were wearing out, the station fell silent. It probably returned to Russia from where it started again under the name Music Wave Radio.

Listening to Short and Medium Wave broadcasts since 1962 as a DXer. Nowadays I listen to 48 and 49 meters mainly for interesting stations. If you like to send me an EQSL my email is bkavana@gmail.com
