GERMANY Juelich site reactivated as of Nov 20, 2009. The reports about
the CVC showcase for the broadcasting fair that takes place in Delhi next
week made me wonder: Juelich?
Guess what, the site was silent for less than four weeks and is again in
use already since Nov 20, Mon-Fri between 1626 and 1659 UT only, for TWR
in Armenian on 5980 kHz, Thu and Fri also for Radio Xoriyo on 9820 kHz.
It seems that the current state of the site is somewhat similar to what
IBB circles call "caretaker status", with transmitter engineers shortly
showing up on workdays and the transmitters being used for real
transmissions instead of testing them on dummy loads.
Would be another question for Glenn to ask Andrew Flynn, since in fact no
real information about this matter is available so far, other than what
appeared in the NASWA newsletter and the circumstance that first all
transmissions from Juelich ceased as of Oct 25, like Brother Scare on 6110
which, sure enough, stays at Moosbrunn to which he has been transferred.
