prices; Ukraine-bashing; East Slavs are good; nice things to say about
other breakaway regions such as "Arkhangelsk" (not sure if they were
referring to the Oblast or somewhere else). Amusing conclusion to the
English program: "That's all for today. Our program is over." Into French
at 0015 UT. Huge signal.

Voice of Russia and Radio PMR via Grigoriopol Maiac Moldova 9665, 6240
kHz.
Would someone happen to have a QSL address for PMR?
I sent an email report to PMR to: and a day or two
after I got it verified by email. Good Luck. This night at 0000 UT I also
heard Russia in En on 9665 kHz.

Since the programming / stations carried on the 6240 and 9665 kHz
Pridnestrovye transmitters have been so variable the last few nights,
I made a point of checking again UT Friday Sept 10 (starting 2358 UT
Sept 9):
5900, too weak in the noise level to confirm, but supposedly VOR English
2200-0200 UT, via "Armavir Krasnodar" Russia.
6240, at 2358 UT intermittent tune-up tones; 0000 Radio PMR in English.
Could not check every quarter hour, but: 0032 UT in German, 0046 English,
0125 German, 0146 French and 0158 to "au revoir" at 0200*. One may with
some confidence fill in the blanks as 0015 French, 0100 French, 0130 UT
English, but don't count on this every weeknight.
Since this was UT Friday, Radio PMR should be off for 70 hours, resuming
at 0000 UT Monday. The question is whether 6240 kHz will be on the air
with VOR English, or Russian during this bihour on UT Saturday or Sunday.
9665: 2358 VOR English, saying would continue on 31 and 41m [what? AFAIK
it's on 49m, 5900 kHz]; Presumably has been on since 2300 UT. 0000 reopening
VORWS in English. Signal steadily declines; 0125 still VOR
English; 0158 now it's so weak the Brazilian het is a problem, 0159 IS,
0200 UT still VOR English, I think.
Now, will VOR English stay on 9665 kHz from 2300 to 0400 UT every night?
24 hours earlier, UT Friday Sept 9, Mark Coady and I heard PMR back on
9665 kHz starting at 0000 but VOR had resumed before 0100 UT. And 6240 kHz
I heard with some service in Russian during that hour.
9735: while we are straining to hear these weak signals in the noise,
9735 kHz is on from 0200 UT Sept 10 opening La Voz de Rusia in Spanish,
excellent via GUIANA FRENCH.

SPAIN 1386 Euskadi Irratia, Bilbo, again with extremely weak modulation
level like on Aug 29, 2140-... UT, 02 Sep'10; 55343.

SRI LANKA 7189.72 Sri Lanka BC, 1222-1232*, Sept 10. I have been
reading about their new MW transmitter, but is this a new SW transmitter?
