like this), were removed, but years ago.

some USSR radio history items
Novosibirsk  -  Hi,  how far are they from each other?
Oyash is at 83.45 E / 55.31 N, the TDP gives 82.58 E / 55.04 N for the old
Novosibirsk site. The latter one case appears to be somewhat complicated,
since this could be in fact two different sites.
I have no very detailled map of Siberia at hand{2001 year} but the coordi-
nates for Oyash are of course northeast of Novosibirsk, perhaps closer to
Tomsk than Novosibirsk. This site is also called "Raduga".

There is Novosibirsk II with 250 and 500 kW txs. Is that Oyash?
Certainly. The TDP mentions for Oyash three 2x500 kW units (RV-271, 291
and 295, respectively), and I think most if not all customers use "only"
500 kW anymore.
On the other hand there are likely not less than 24 txs at Novosibirsk
itself, and I could imagine that certain txions which are registered as
250 kW are in fact 200 kW from a pair of these 24 txs.

Novosibirsk.
Oyash (Raduga) is located about 82km to the NoEast from Novosibirsk centre
Oyash is the nearest town, while Raduga is the village that probably
houses the stn personnel and has the mailing address of the stn.
This site, RC-7), was built in the early '70s.
The big (old, from 1956) SW site RC-5 is located in the SW outskirts of
Novosibirsk, in the Kirovskiy rayon. It has a total power of 2500 kW.
The original Novosibirsk site RC-1 is located in the NoEastern outskirts
of the city in the Kalininskiy rayon. It has a total power of 605 kW, most
of which is LW and MW. It seems to have a few SW trs in the 60 kW range
(SSB? air traffic control ? )  (via BC-DX Oct 30, 2001 year)
History 2007
The Novosibirsk listings in fact summarize two different sites: 200 kW
transmissions are the radio centre #5 near Novosibirsk, opened in 1956 and
equipped with a number of 100 kW transmitters, run in pairs of course.
Origin of the 500 kW transmission will be the radio centre #9 at
Raduga/Oyash, opened in 1967 and equipped with high power transmitters.
Acc.  <victorcity.dxing.ru>  both sites are located at
54 55 18 N  82 51 22 E  and  55 29 00 N  83 41 12 E
respectively.
Raduga [Novosibirsk] longwave 270 kHz 150 kW 576 kHz 1000 kW
under low resolution at present in 2007.
