(IRIB via Swopan Chakroborty-IND, dxld Mar 31)
So the above schedule apparently does not include any of the Lithuanian
relays? What kind of delay is there between Iran and Lith sites?

Re IRIB delay. 7260 today IRIB French sce. 1830-1927 UT.
No remarkable echo delay between 7260LTU, 9940SIR, and 13755KAM kHz.
Display on CoolEdit / Audacity software would show only 1/100th second
delay or so.

IRELAND/SCOTLAND Re closure of RTE Radio 1 on 567 kHz, Tullamore.
During World War II (when the Republic of Ireland remained neutral) there
was a problem with the Radio Eireann transmission from Athlone on 530m.
This 100 kW signal was providing an excellent directional beacon to German
bombers. The BBC had overcome this problem by transmitting a synchronised
network using many transmitters on just two (or later three) frequencies,
closing down transmitters as required when enemy planes were nearby.
But Athlone stood out like a sore thumb. The solution was ingenious: the
BBC picked up Radio Eireann on a dedicated receiver on the western coast
of Wales, then fed the signal over landlines to Aberdeen in north-eastern
Scotland, where it was rebroadcast at high power. The result - confusion
for aircraft. (And puzzled Irish listeners in Aberdeen who couldn't
understand how reception of their Irish station had improved so
dramatically!
