AUSTRIA/CROATIA 6155.00 Somebody on the Zagreb Deanovec staff 'slept'
this morning, slipped on the keypad. Croatian Radio 5-8 UT broadcast 10
kHz down on ORF OE1 Moosbrunn Austria frequency. A terrible sound mixture
here in Germany. At 0615 UT ORF Moosbrunn ended their transmission now.

AUSTRIA Since, for me, most DXing observations are retrospective, these
days, the special Austrian broadcast schedule to mark the formation of
ARMS brings to mind another Austrian military radio operation. After WWII,
Austria did not regain full independence until 1955. And five years later,
its young military began participating in world peacekeeping missions (in
the Congo) in 1960. Later Austrian troops would serve on peace missions in
Cyprus, the Middle East and many other places.
In this regard, I remember fondly OEY21, Schulungssender des
Oesterreichischen Bundesheeres, the Austrian Army Radio which was
headquartered in Vienna. At 1000 watts on 6255 kHz, they were REAL DX here
in the central US.
In early 1972 I was fortunate enough to catch them during one of their
"occasional" Wednesday early morning programs,
which, when used, was 0500-0700. Normal regular schedule then was Mo-Fr
1000-1200 and 1500-1900. While this was called a "training transmitter" I
always believed that a major purpose was to broadcast from home to their
peacekeeping troops then in Cyprus. Perhaps some of our European friends
