hour token service per day will remain.
A new site, to my knowledge never used by RNW before, will be Issoudun:
June 29 til Sep 1only Dutch to northern Europe and the Baltics on 9835
(until last year this holidaymakers service was on air via Juelich);
throughout A08 Dutch to southern Europe 0559-0657 (Sun 0559-0800) on 11655
(replaces Skelton); Dutch to Central Europe Mon-Fri only 0759-1000 on 6035
(replaces Hoerby); July 05-28 only Dutch to Europe 1159-1600 on 7235 and
13825 plus 1159-1657 on 13700, the latter also outside this period 1459-
1557/1657; English to western Africa 1859-1957 on 11660 (replaces
Wertachtal); June 29 til Sep 1 only Dutch to southern Europe 1959-2057 on
9690.
Another new site: Montsinery! Spanish 2359-0157 on 9895, an addition to
Sines which moves to 9450.
The new RNW transmissions via the IBB transmitters on the Northern
Marianas have already been revealed here, but perhaps not the full
schedule: Via Tinian English 0959-1057 on 11895, via Saipan from May 3
Dutch to AUS/NZL 0900-0957 on 9700; has this 195 deg. beam been ever used
since IBB purchased the Saipan site?
Also new: "Dushanbe" 100 kW, i.e. Yangi Yul, English 1359-1557 on 9345.
This replaces Tashkent which will no longer be in use.
No longer in use by RNW after March 29 as well will be Skelton,
Tbilisskaya (remember RNW English to Africa in the 60 mB from here, way
back in the nineties?), Lesnoy / Kurovskaya / Taldom (summarized as
"Moskva", still leaving a mystery about which of these three sites is/are
in use), Angarsk and Meyerton. And to make sure: Again no transmissions
via Flevo anymore. What happened to this plant, does KPN still keep the
transmitters there in black heating mode or have they been mothballed if
not shut down definitely?
Transmissions of other broadcasters via the RNW-operated sites:
VOA via Talata V. (airtime exchange for TIN/SAI/PHT, of course part of the
subsitutes for the doomed Briech site): English 0400-0430 on 9575, 0400-
