Title: Russian links Post by: Zink on March 14, 2004, 05:00:00 AM I was cleaning out files on my computer and bookmarks. I came across some that may interest people here. Some have been posted before but it never hurts to refresh our memories. Plus I'm deleting most of it because I don't use them anymore.
http://www.friends-partners.org/oldfriends/language/russian-alphabet.html A good intro to the Russian alphabet with a very clear voice. http://www.departments.bucknell.edu/russian/language/ Russian grammar. http://www.meighan.net/alexander/ Handy phrases worth knowing and using. http://www.city.ru/ Info on many cities around Russia. http://www.siber.com/sib/ General all around site on Russia and Russians. http://www.wayan.net/exp/rus_exp/index.htm Interesting articles about life in Russia. http://www.unclepasha.com/ More general Russian info. http://members.tripod.com/~dyumyum/russian.html Russian recipes to try at home. http://www.russiatravel.com/ Decent travel website. http://www.all-hotels.ru/ Self explanitory. http://www.russiantoronto.com/ Connection to the large Russian community in Toronto. Those all still worked as of today. The others I collected in the last 4 years that didn't work I already deleted. This should keep you busy reading for awhile.

On 15 meters (21.300-.450 Mhz) Worked a Ukrainian (UX0ZZ) by the Black Sea this morning, a few Lithunia (LY1CM, LY3MM), a Latvia (YL6W), a Czech (OK1MVD), a Russian (S54G) and a Italian (IZ2DPX). On 20 meters (14.225-350), I worked just 2 russians (RZ9OQ-NS & RW9UX-KE). Heard a bunch but the guys on the east coast were work'em, and were drowning out my signal, just about 500 watts. Might return to listen on 160m for them tonight. Ya see, if you had a girl that a radio operator or her pappa was, you could be calling her every day for free. Ditto that for those South American/Latin women - anytime for them - same time zone. |
