CZECHOSLOVAKIA/CSSR Clandestine radio. There were several clandestine
stations operating for a few days on shortwave in Czechoslovakia.
Those might have been coming from outside of the country with Czechoslovak
troops as intended audience. Some recordings I heared were in Czech-
accented Russian, addressing the "Soviet officers and soldiers." The
intelligence services and military from various countries were heavily
involved in those events. Today we can only speculate what was on the air
40 years ago and who was broadcasting.
Here is a GDR radio item, with their spin:
It starts with a recording of some FRG broadcast, then the comment says:
"This is the voice of counterrevolution. (...) On phone lines and
microwave links, on mediumwave, shortwave and FM, on the frequencies of
the official West German broadcasting stations, on the wavelengths of the
American stations RIAS Berlin and RFE Munich, on Bundeswehr frequencies
and on the ham radio bands. (...) Another amazing observation made a
journalist on Sunday. At 12 AM an announcer of a so-called Czechoslovak
Station Northern Bohemia Two was on air in the 41 mB. After he had closed
down the American station Radio Free Europe broadcast at 13:30 on exactly
the same frequency news in Czech language."
And here are two fragments of Vltava on 1430, edited together. It starts
with a clear mention of "German Democratic Republic", appearing to be an
open announcement of the station's location. Also note in the second cut
how the announcer struggles with the Czech (or Slovak) language:
Finally two fragments of Radio Prague announcements:
The first one says that "we're broadcasting alternately in German,
English, French and Italian language to report about the developments in
our country, stay tuned". The second one, apparently later and maybe no
longer from the Vinohradska studios, reads "this is Radio Prague, the
free, legitimate station of Czechoslovak radio, we broadcast continuously
in German, English, French, Russian, Italian, Spanish and Czech
alternately in the shortwave range from 49 to 51 metres, that's 6100 to
5800 kHz".
Beware of the copying that took place on the tape reel, in all these
