'hard up' of functioning antennas towards North America from Europe. Old friends on the southwards Balcan in Bulgaria and Albania are now independent. And to lease powerful TCI antenna at Sitkunai-Lithuania, may avoided by injured Russian ego, but renting fares on latter are much higher and doubled recently at LTU. (wb, wwdxc BC-DX TopNews June 2) A bit down the page the second table, "Liste der Senderstandorte" ("list of transmitter sites"). The first table has not been updated so far, but this one has, with 11655 quickly added at the bottom. And it clearly says "Lwow". What should perhaps be explained, too: "Very same transmitter" than 7440 because usually the newest one, finished around 1992, is in use at Krasne. They have a second one from 1972, but reportedly they do not use it for regular operation at present, since never more than one frequency is on air since 2007, after nothing was on air at all between 2002 and 2007. Another musing: So it's not just about 7440, since at least one further transmission (perhaps even further ones have been added and are just not known yet) for VOR started. Looks indeed as if RRT, the organization in charge for the broadcasting transmitters in the Ukraine, actively offered the transmitter to VOR. (Kai Ludwig-D, dxld June 6) Thanks to Sergei - Another SW change ... is that VoR German can be heard from 0900-1000 on 11655 via Lvov-Krasne-UKR.

See http://german.ruvr.ru/radio_broadcast/frequenzen/ shows location Lwow Krasne in Ukraine but http://english.ruvr.ru/radio_broadcast/schedule/ shows only new 7440 kHz, but no location Lvov Krasne.

Has VOR axually reached a deal with the new pro-Russian Uke government to use the Lviv transmitter, just like the good old Soviet days? As Wolfgang Bueschel also speculates, this could be a temporary measure to keep the transmitter site in business if RUI itself can not afford to use it. file:///Z|/DOKUMENTATION-BULLETINS/WWDXD-BCDX/2010/BCDX967.TXT[11.06.2012 10:40:08]
