USA The Voice of America (VOA) is doubling its Georgian language
broadcasts in the wake of fighting between Georgia and Russia in the
breakaway province of South Ossetia.
VOA's Geogian Service will produce a 60-minute program daily, up from 30
minutes, with news, information, interviews, analysis and reaction to the
crisis in the former Soviet Republic. News is also available on the
Internet at
We want to make sure Georgians are fully informed about what's happening
in their country, said Steve Redisch, VOA's Executive Editor.
The Georgian broadcasts are carried nationwide on a FM network as well as
on shortwave frequencies 11945 and 15460 from 1530 to 1600 UTC, and on
11965 and 15460 from 1600 to 1630 UTC.
Reporters and stringers on the ground are providing VOA with reports from
inside the country, which is slightly smaller than the state of South
Carolina and has about 4.6 million people.
The crisis began when Georgian troops launched a military strike on the
province of South Ossetia early Friday, seeking to end the region's bid
for autonomy. In response, Russian troops entered the border province.
(VOA press release Aug 8 via dxld)
At 1530-1600, 11945 has been via Sri Lanka, but after 1600 that frequency
is already in use for R. Farda via Lampertheim, so the expanded VOA
Georgian at 1600-1630 has to use another frequency. But: 11965 is already
CRI via Kashi before and after 1600.
Online skeds show the 19m frequency for VOA Georgian at 1530-1600 as 15475
via Lampertheim, but apparently this is just now being changed, to 15460
before and after 1600, since after 1600, 15475 would collide with Africa
No. One, Gabon.

Looks like VOA has made some changes in Georgian transmissions:
From the VOA website:
1530-1600 UTC 11945 12130 15460
1600-1630 UTC 12105 12130 15460
This is different from what was there yesterday.
