Here are the main changes for the A08 season:
1) To allow cleaner reception on our target area, there will be a 5 kHz
frequency shift from 7285 to 7290 kHz eff April 4, 2008, for our evening
broadcasts. Two hours on Saturday evening have also been been added on
7,290 kHz, to complement our Friday and Sunday broadcasts on weeek-ends
between 1800-2000 UTC (2000-2200 CET, summertime).
2) The antenna type and direction for all broadcasts on 7290 kHz (150 kW)
has been changed to allow better coverage of Middle East and the whole of
Africa. Europe will be covered through the back and sides of the
directional antenna.
3) Broadcast on 9510 kHz on Sundays will still use an antenna favoring
reception of Europe, North Africa and the near Middle East. DX reception,
however, may be also possible outside of the above mentioned targets.
NEXUS-IBA and its members broadcasters welcome all reception reports, and
above all comments on programs heard. Emails and letters received at
NEXUS-IBA HQ will be forwarded to the original program producer who may
reply with a letter or QSL of their own. Please address your
correspondence to IRRS-Shortwave, PO Box 10980, 20110 Milano, Italy or by
email at:

other main Slovak Radio channels. From the 14-th of January the mediumwave
frequencies of 702 kHz Preshov, 1017 kHz Rimavska Sobota, and 1098 kHz

Ukrainian, Ruthenian, Romanes. On Wednesday mornings one there can be
heard Czech, German or Polish radio magazine.

SOUTH AFRICA/KENYA [non] Interesting to see IRIN Radio in this list.
This is the UN's Integrated Regional Information Network, based in
Nairobi. They have had a radio production service for quite a while, but
as far as I know this just produced programmes and relied on other
stations to broadcast them. I think that this may be the first time they
have hired SW transmiter airtime themselves. See
