Tiny poor signal on 11720 Sept 6th at 0800 UT, Finnish lang report.
Vorhin um 0800 UT ein ganz duennes verrauschtes Signal auf 11720
aufzunehmen, langweiliges Finnisch Programm ueber EDXC Konferenz, kaum
verstaendlich so lala gerade ueber der Grasnarbe. Nicht zu vergleichen mit
dem Nadelverbiegen des ehemal. R Finnland auf weiland 11755.

GEORGIA [see also ABKHAZIA] According to BBC Russian, a few hours ago
Tbilisi unblocked access to Russian websites throughout
Georgia.
The ban lasted for exactly one month. It was ineffective since many
Georgian users turned to proxi-servers that allowed them to continue
visiting Russian sites.
The ban on Russian TV channels is still in place. Curiously, it also
applies to the Russian version of France-based Euronews. On August 18
Georgia shut down the Israeli-owned, NYC-based RTVi. But the channel was
allowed again into Georgian cable systems on August 22 after a mild rebuke
from Matthew Bryza.
Only Georgians who have satellite dishes can watch Russian TV.

GERMANY [and non] DW Transmitter Sites. Deutsche Welle QSLs.
A few days ago I reported my 40th DW transmitter site verified. I've
received some questions about the sites, so here is my list. All have been
verified by DW cards.
Juelich Wertachtal Konigswusterhausen Leipzig Nauen Kigali Sines Malta
Antigua Montserrat Trincomalee Sierra Leone, Philippines (Radio Veritas),
Sackville Brasilia Shigulovsk Irkutsk Novosibirsk Samara Chita Krasnodar
Vladivostok Moscow Petropavlovsk Komsomolsk-on-Amur Khabarovsk Erevan Lvov
Almaty Meyerton Talata Bonaire Kranji Ascension Rampisham Skelton
Woofferton Dhabayya, WHRA Cypress Creek SC, Moosbrunn.
And 2 early cards were simply marked "Germany". These were probably
Juelich.
Also I have a QSL for Deutschlandfunk via point-to-point DFF97 in
Frankfurt on 6975. Based on club bulletins in the 1970s, as well as the
Internet today, this was a DW transmitter.
I was fortunate in getting a QSL for Sierra Leone as I don't think DW used
that site very long. My QSL is for a test broadcast logged on 5980 from
0612 to 0632 on January 28, 1975. The test was in English, included the
transmitter site, and requested reception reports, giving DW address.
There were also brief news items and music as well as ids in German and
French.
Did DW have any regular broadcasts from Sierra Leone? The 1975 WRTH lists
only 10 kw for Sierra Leone; the '76 edition shows 10/250 kw for 3316,
