UK/CROATIA/GERMANY Tnx to a tip from Dragan Lekic-SRB, Voice of Croatia
heard testing new 7385 kHz via Woofferton UK, Feb 2 at 0309 UT, YL with
weather report in English, then something about recipes. This was // only
a slight echo behind usual 7375 kHz, which is Wertachtal 100 kW at 300
degrees plus Nauen 100 kW at 325 degrees. But stronger signal from the
Germans.
Evidently VTC, or whatever it is called this week, is making a bid to take
business away from DTK, or whatever it is called this week. Dragan says
this test on 7385 kHz is for four nights only, UT Feb 2-5 at 0300-0500 UT.
