expensive both for yachters and ordinary tourists.

UKRAINE [BELARUS/RUSSIA] I just found out that VoR is back on Sosnovy
transmitter starting from June 1! Acc. to DXing.ru, it's in Russian 1300-
1500 and 1700-1900 UT on 1170 for "Europe and Belarus." Another SW change
(in addition to VoR English using 7440 0000-0200 for its NA coverage) is
that VoR German can be heard from 0900-1000 on 11655 kHz.
VoR used to run an AM/MW relay in Vilnius for its Russian service. But
that was stopped a few months ago due to financial difficulties. More
notably, an AM relay in Belarus was also discontinued. (Many DX
publications still list Belarusian tx on 1170 as being used by VoR).
Albania is indeed a "very" old Soviet friend as the Soviet-Albanian
relations were severed during Khruschev. The Russian service of R. Tirana
was jammed heavily through most of its existence. The relations between
two countries are rather cold to these days.

11655 Man hat beim deutschen Dienst von R Moskau VoRUS realisiert, dass
fuer die sehr traditionelle 1100 MEZ/MESZ Aussendung die MW Sendungen im
deutschen Relais nicht auslangen. Und die DRM Sendungen werden nur von
ganz wenigen Hobbyisten gehoert.
Jetzt gibt es wieder eine AM Sendung um 0900-1000 UT auf 11655 via Lvov
Krasne-UKR Sendezentrum. Kommt hier mit S=9+45dB herein.

7440 could be Lvov tx in Ukraine again from June 1st ? Because the
election winner in Ukraine is much more Russia connection friendly now.
Could be high power transmission to North America 7440 LV 600 kW 303 deg.
And RUI Kiev can pay for their own main power debts then ... Russia is
