eal SW sites, QSLs issued by R Moscow stating a certain site have little
or no value as a real confirmation of that site or the republic where this
site would be located.

The older WRTH's like in 60ties and 70ties show Kishinev MW 998 kHz only,
later accompanied by 1313/1448 kHz. Kishinev was n e v e r even been an
USSR Regional station with 50 kW shortwave relay, -- except of some 5 kW
Radio Liberty and RFE Romanian jammer units. In all decades USSR kept
their dark secret under the vailed site call KCH.
19 years later in WRTH 1992, p137, "Grigoriopol" location was print out
for the first time.
Counting radio countries may so simple:
NASWA counts two areas separate, -- Moldova itself and also breakaway
entity Pridnestrovya. The rest of the world counts one united Moldova,
either Kishinev or two regional mediumwaves and plus SW+LW+MW from
Grigoriopol Maiac location.
Uspeakable example of Kosovo separation from Serbia will give Russia an
example to divide Pridnestrovya, Ossetia, Abkhazia, etc. from original
area. (wb)

MYANMAR [non] Trans World Radio airing timely hope to the hopeless in
cyclone-ravaged Myanmar. Tuesday, May 13, 2008 By Michael Ireland, Chief
Correspondent, ASSIST News Service.
As the beleaguered nation of Myanmar continues to suffer from the mass
devastation caused recently by Tropical Cyclone Nargis, international
Christian broadcaster Trans World Radio (TWR) plans to produce special
radio programs offering critically needed health and social care
information, emotional support and spiritual care for the hurting and
hopeless.
TWR's announcement to begin airing these programs to Myanmar (formerly
known as Burma) is especially timely given news reports indicating that
the estimated death toll is upwards of 100,000 people, with another 1
million having been displaced from their homes.
A media release states that TWR's over-the-airwave assistance strategy
involves offering a full year of dedicated 30-minute broadcasts that will
provide biblical counseling and care five days a week ...

Tnx. Strange how the stuff from ASSIST rarely gives such essential
details. TWR is scheduled already in Burmese, per WRTH update:
Burmese Days Area kHz [meaning KTWR, Guam]
1200-1235 .....s. SEA 13765twr
1200-1300 mtwtf.s SEA 13765twr
They also have Sgaw Karen as also mentioned in the story, which doesn't
make clear whether the 'timely hope' broadcasts go into the existing
programming, but it seems likely.
