Here is the last, 4th part. The phone receives fewer and fewer stations, and as you will be able to hear, only one of them will remain in the end. Almost the entire recording is occupied by music as before, but at one point you will be able to hear social advertising prepared by gas services.

Exploring The FM Band Near Minsk 1
Minsk is the capital of Belarus with about 2 million inhabitants. Of course, in such a big city there is a fairly rich FM band, which has many radio stations, from news talk to musical. On Friday night, while driving near this city, I made a recording using my phone. Even though it’s reception qualities are far from ideal, it did a pretty good job in such conditions. The recording lasts 40 minutes, and during this time I drove about 80 kilometers, which is why there were some changes in the band due to the fact that my location was changing. In addition, the recording was done at night, so for the most part you will hear only music, albeit different. The recording will be divided into 4 parts of 10 minutes, and here is the first of them. In addition to music, an interesting part of it is a radio play in the Belarusian language, which was broadcast on one of the stations. Happy listening.
Going To Belarus Tomorrow
Hello, dear readers. I’m thinking about publishing some text posts here from time to time, telling about various topics, from what’s happening to me to God knows what else. Some of them will be taken from my Russian-language Telegram channel, some will be written exclusively for my several readers here, as I definitely appreciate you all and am always happy to receive feedback from you. So, let’s try it.
I’m going to Belarus for a few days tomorrow. Although the reason for the trip is not pleasant, but because of the unusual season, it will become quite interesting for me. After all, even if I visited my homeland in the early winter, it was at an age that was not the most preserved in my memory. At least not in the last 12 years for sure.
If you ask me at what time of the year I prefer to travel long distances, then I will definitely choose summer. Of course, mainly because of the opportunity not to wear a bunch of all kinds of clothes, which can be very heavy in winter. Although it’s mostly just one jacket, it’s the same size as 4 summer sweaters. And in summer, just jumping outside for a couple of minutes to warm up is much nicer than in winter, when you rather want to climb back into the warmth, because it’s kinda cold.
I’m not even talking about the benefits for drivers, such as a longer daylight or the absence of any snow surprises on roads.
But it’s worth admitting that traveling in winter is also pretty cool, especially if you move from a colder region to a warmer one. I looked at the weather in Belarus, it promises to hang around zero all the time of my stay. Compared to -15 here and now, it’s even somehow good. And I’m not talking about the mud from melting snow, it doesn’t count, because this is a separate conversation at all. 😊
I will try to write or record something for you during this period, although I can’t promise anything. But anyway, have a good week you all. It, of course, is not particularly different from the others, but the holidays are slowly approaching, so…
