History

The Centre "Ukrchastotnaglyad" springs from 1934 when Kyiv Post of Technical Radio Monitoring (PTRM) with only two employees was established in the village of Borova, Fastiv region of Kyiv oblast. Mr. A.Khomenko, graduating student of Kyiv Polytechnical Institute, Head of the State Radio Inspection of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic (USSR) was one of the organizers of the PTRM. In 1934, when Kyiv became a capital of the USSR, decision was made to position the PTRM on the 46th km from Kyiv, in the small village of Borova, Fastiv region of Kyiv oblast. A land area having a size of 0.06 hectare was choosen for miniature PTRM carrying out the functions as follows: monitoring of radio electronic facilities (REFs) and broadcasting, setting-up calls procedures, radio messages exchange, measurements of electromagnetic fields.

The equipment was delivered from the Ukrainian Centre of Technical Radio Monitoring by train: receivers, radio comparator, photo recorder with clockwork and other equipment. An accumulator station was built by the employees themselves and antenna farm was equipped.

In 1934-1938 Mr. Balievych, one of the initiator of organization of Technical Radio Monitoring Post in the village of Borova was the first Head of Kyiv PTRM	No photo

During World War II material and technical basis of Kyiv PTRM was entirely destroyåd. In 1944 after liberation of Borova village from Fascists the Post of Technical Radio Monitoring was reconstructed. The reconstruction process was led by Mr. Neupokoiev.

The reconstructed after the World War II Post became a part of Kyiv Board of Radio Communications and Broadcasting of the USSR Ministry of Posts and Communications. The radio equipment for technical radio monitoring was supplied from Kyiv Board. For lack of electric power an accumulator station was built in Borova village since power supply of radio equipment was carried out from dc power supply.

ÑIn the beginning only one working place was supplied with the purpose of broadcasting monitoring. The monitoring has been fulfilled by the following equipment: "Telefunken"receivers, "Marconi" comparator and plotters. The trees were used as the masts in the absence of antenna farm.

In 1945 the monitoring of radio communication stations started (setting-up call and some conversations).

Kostiantyn Maksymovych Neupokoiev (1913-1950). He received a higher education, in 1944-1950 he was a Head of Kyiv Post of Technical Radion Monitoring. Mr. Neupokoiev was at the head of Kyiv PTRM while reconstructing its. During the World War II he trained operators of PTRM. And after finishing the World War II he used his skills and done everything in his power for training of highly-qualified specialists in the field of radio electronic facilities monitoring. Zinaida Grygorivna Neupokoieva (is born in 1912). She fulfilled the duties of a Head from 1949 till 1951 in view of the illness of Mr.K.Neupokoiev.

In 1950-51 the USSR Ministry of Posts and Communications recommended a new site for Kyiv PTRM and the decision was made to position it on the 15th km of the Brest-Lytovsky prospect (now - Peremogy prospect.) of Kyiv city. This PTRM location changing from the village of Borova was caused by the energy lack in the village and the existent base of powering did not provide the duly operation of equipment located in the PTRM.

In December 1951 the Post of Radio Monitoring commenced its activities in Kyiv.

Four working places were installed: broadcasting and radiocommunications monitoring, measurements of field voltage and tape recording, television monitoring. The Monitoring Equipment was delivered from the Centre of Technical Radio Monitoring and partially Kyiv Board of Radiocommunications and Broadcasting namely PRB receivers, "Telefunken", "ASHERO", "ÀÅR", 88LF; "MARCONI" Comparator; measurment devices of frequency stability "PICH" and "PICH-2"; KVN TV sets Ò-2 (Leningrad), CKU-2 (measuring rack).

In conformity with the Order ¹ 829 of the Council of Ministers of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republic of 16.03.1951 "On Legislative enactment relative to radio reception protection from industrial interference" the State Radio Inspection was established including a department on radio frequency interference elimination, technical teams were created operating as radio monitoring posts (RMP) according to the Decree ¹ 367 of the Ministry of Posts and Communications of the USSR dated 11.04.1957.

In 1959 the State Radio Inspection changed its name and became the State Inspection of Telecommunications (SioT) and the services of radio interference monitoring were created.

Yurii Koreniev - Head of the KSTRM and RSTRM from 1961 till 1968 In 1961 the Interdepartmental Commission on Radiofrequencies under the USSR Ministry of Posts and Communications ratified the Norms of frequency stability and spurious emissions Norms. In accordance with the Decree of the Ministry of Posts and Communications of the Ukrainian Republic, Kyiv Post of Technical Radio Monitoring (KPTRM) was removed from the structure of Kyiv Board of Radiocommunication and Broadcasting on 1 January 1961 and was reconstructed in Kyiv Station of Technical Radio Monitoring (KSTRM). It was directly subordinated to the Ministry of Posts and Communications of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic. In September 1965 it was granted a status of a Republican Station (RSTRM). The Technical Radio Monitoring Stations started with the radiofrequency stability monitoring of transmitters and others parameters of electro-magnetic compatibility to bring to conformity with the current srandards since 01.01.1962. In 1963, for the first time, the all-union norms of admissible interference were published, thus the legislative and normative basis in respect to operation of REFs and exploitation of high-voltage power lines of radiating devices of industrial interference, manufacturing the electrical apparatus etc. were developed.

From 1968 till 1972 Mr. G.Redko was at the head of RSTRM
