Checked the schedule of the new 100 kW Continental tx unit at very old
Romanian SW site at Saftica [former Radio Espana Independiente site during
Franco dictatorship] too, tonight Oct 14th:
7210 kHz noted RRI in Ukrainian at 1500-1527 UT, powerful here in Germany
54444, and superb audio quality, never heard on this former limited 20/50 kW
units in the past.
Break between 15.27:10 and 15.28:25 UT.
6135 kHz noted RRI in Serbian at 1530-1557 UT, powerhouse S=9+10 dB on 6135
kHz.
9620 kHz transmitter is on the air at 1600 UT, powerful S=9+20 dB signal,
BUT NO audio feed of the Italian service.
So I guess 2nd step of shortwave modernization at Romanian sites Galbeni,
Saftica has been completed.
And Tiganesti 300 kW Continental site will follow soon, and will be ready on
Oct 26th, when B-08 winter schedule starts.
