4955 Radio Cultural Amauta Huanta 1030 UT Excellent Peruvian vocals, Time check at 32 minutos by om, excellent signal. Enjoyable 7 August. (Robert Wilkner-FL-USA, DXplorer Aug 7) PORTUGAL 1035 R. Club Portugues, Belmonte (Benavente) (+ a few VHF-FM fqs too) has changed its format, and is broadcasting Portuguese & foreign music from the 60s & 70 since approx. mid July. Just yesterday, 30.7.2010 when this tx was off once again, I got the information this current format is only temporary, and it is almost certain it will change a bit (again!), but my contact added it should remain an oldies station nevertheless. Current power level of their 100 kW Thales tx at Belmonte is about 1/3 due to budgetary limitations. 783 ditto, Avanca (Estarreja, near Aveiro), is stuck, probably for good as the vandalism that stroke this unmanned site back in early 2010 - which could have been solved with minor repairs on the copper elements that were stolen - met another break in causing extensive damage to the 100 kW Thales tx. My contact reported the administration is simply unwilling to spend lots of money with it, so it remains silent, and has been silent ever since everything was put in place and tested in order to be finally switched on // to 1035 kHz. (Carlos Goncalves-POR, via Ydun Ritz-DEN medium wave info 31.7.2010; via ARC MVEko Olle Alm-SWE Aug 3) ROMANIA The daily broadcasts on short waves in Romanian language are from 0000, 0100, 0400, 1200, 1300, 1500, 1600, 1700, 1800, 1900 UT - duration 1 hour approx.

Maybe RRI staff are on holidays? (Rumen Pankov-BUL, wwdxc BC-DX TopNews Aug 8) RUSSIA Latest news from Victor Rutkovsky-RUS, 15.7.2010 via Mauno Ritola-FIN: 594 Vladikavkaz, E. is probably off. 1053 Radio Rossi, Orenburg is off. 1296 Irkutsk off. 1332 Dobrye Pesni, Irkutsk 5 kW is now stable on the frequency.
