RADIO AMATEURISM SHOULD BE DEVELOPED IN EVERY WAY
Col Gen V. I. Kuznetsov
Chairman, Central Committee
All-Union Council of Dosarm
Undoubtedly, the success of radio amateurs in short-wave amateur activity,

diments of radio.
The Odessa, Petrozavodsk, and Maykop radio clubs did not take part in the
1949 All-Union Radio Exhibition.
One of the greatest faults of many committees is underestimating mass work,
although organized mass work is one of the principles of Bolshevism. Unfortu-
nately, some of the leading workers in our Volunteer Society do not grasp this
principle. There are radio clubs in Petrozavodsk and Syktyvkar, but the ,epub-
lican Committees of Dosarm have not noticed that they have no members, do not
work with radio amateurs, and give little or no training to prospective radio
specialists needed in the national economy. The radio clubs in Bryansk, Chel-
yabinsk, Zhitomir, Poltava and Smolensk also do little for radio amateurs, es-
The main faults of the Dosarm committees and clubs are that they ce little
effort to enlist the services of skilled radio specialists in active radio amateur
work or to interest demobilized signal corps men and experienced amateurs in man-
aging radio clubs.. They do not take a sufficiently active part in competitions
or exhibitions, and in radiofication of villages.
The conference held recently at Moscow by chairmen of?Dosarm clubs from the
republics, oblasts, and krays proposed a good many valuable resolutions for im-
proving the work of out Society. Immediate execution of these resolutions should

make itself felt in better guidance for radio amateurs, intensified propaganda
for daffueion of knowledge about radio among; th, working masses, and for organ-
ized. mase work in all branches of our Volunteer Society. In 1959-51 we must
succeed in forming n, radio circle in each primary Dosarm organization.
It is evident the+? out' -roung people have a great desire to know about radio
techniques. We must aid ii.. organizing clubs In every school and educational in-
st.it.ut.ion,. Participation in the ra.diofication of our kolkhoz villages is one of
the most important tosks before our radio clubs and all our radio amateurs. This
work must b~ dons systematically. We must encourage the participation of radio
clubs, circles, and primary Dosann organizations in the radiofication of these
villages and, above all, in propaganda for disseminating knowledge of radio tech-
niques among the rural population.
Prepe.rst.ions must be started at once for the Ninth All-Union Exhibition of
our mateur radio designers to be held in Moscow early in November 1950. Every
ef.ort must be made to apply the achievements of the amateurs in the national.
economy, the radiofication of villages, the educational work of Dosarm, and in
the further development. of the radio amateur movement.,
The Al!-Union and local radio committees used to aid radio amateurs by their
educational propaganda for radio work. Unfortunately, at present the Committee
on Radio Information and the local radio committees have curtailed radio programs
on this subject.. It would be desirable to have the committee resume such pro-
grams.
All the work of our society on the lower levels, in radio clubs, and circles
should be carried out in close contact with the Komsomol. At the end of last
Year, the Central Committee of the VLKSM (All ..Union Lenin Young Communist League)
obligated all Komsomol committees to make greater efforts in this work, induce
young people to study radio techniques, popularize the achievements of Soviet
radio engineering and science, and encourage in every way radio amateurism. Ourr
society must work out these problems in close association with the Komsomol.
Cort.lete development of radio amateurism is one of the most important tasks
of the D,rsarm in reinforcing the economic and defensive strength of the soviet
state.
