9420 - no signal from ERA-5, Avlis, Jan 2 at 1520 UT check, tho there was
a poor signal on 15650 kHz. Constant VOG monitor John Babbis in Maryland
says 9420 kHz has been missing since Dec 28 when he checks every evening.
One of the transmitters is definitely down. Wolfgang Bueschel, however,
says 9420 kHz was on and 12105 kHz missing until 1000 UT Jan 2, then 9420
kHz missing from 1100 UT.
(Glenn Hauser-OK-USA, dxld Jan 2)
And now at 2000-2300 UT segment - see schedule below -, 9420 kHz is missed
again, only ERA-5 at 7475 and ERT-3 on 7450 kHz heard at 2030 UT, Jan 2nd.
They use three TX units only in past decade. Also HFCC registration
entries of VoGRC on many SW channels are wooden and far of reality.
So, one of three txs is out of service at present, and two remaining units
work on a emergency schedule. As always in past years when similar broke
down appeared at Avlis.
Except ERT-3 Radiophonikos Stathmos Makedonias (Thessaloniki) program
which has always priority.
