URUGUAY 6045usb R Sarandi, Montevideo. Info provided by Fernando
Egopar, station technician, via tlc to the transmitter site located at
L. Batlle Berres 6061, Montevideo, Uruguay.
Nominal frequency is 6045 kHz. It was bcsting on 6043.22 kHz these days
after they fixed the adjustment. While I was talking to him he retuned the
xter (!) to go to the nominal 6045 kHz and thus avoid hets from other
broadcasters. Power is 300 W, antenna is an Inverted V, but which deserves
improvement for causing some SWR due to minor impedance mismatch. Sked is
24h. He welcome reception reports to his E-mail address:

broadcasting on shortwave has decreased by 13.4 % to 1088 Weekly

the low had been 1116 WBHs in the year 1999).
The activity of clandestine stations broadcasting to target areas on the
Asian continent has dropped by 18.7 % to 744 WBHs. On the American
continent the activity has decreased by 8.4 % to 197 WBHs. However, on the
African continent the activity has even increased (although from a very
low level) by 21.5 % to 147 WBHs.
For the second year in a row the most active target area worldwide is
North Korea with 252 WBHs (+7 when compared with last year), followed by
China P.R. with 226 WBHs (+2). On the third place is Cuba with 197 WBHs
(-18).
The number of different target areas active worldwide has remained
unchanged at 17, althought some changes have occured. While Laos and Iran
are no longer thought to be active, Madagascar and Sudan have emerged as
new/reactivated target areas.
