International's shortwave signal and all we can tell him is that we're
worried too. Hopefully shortwave transmissions will reach North America
soon.

RUI Kiev Ukraine is back on SW as I hear their English program now, July 1
at 0900 UTC on 11620 kHz. Up to 09 UT I heard Ukrainian.

UKRAINE back on SW. Very weak station here at 1145 UT on 11620 kHz, so
weak could not even identify the language. The rest of the 25 metre band
is virtually dead here too. Tried Global Tuners receivers in Germany and
Austria, similar.
Global Tuners Greece receiver just has China Radio International. On
previously used schedule should be Ukraine still on air in English.
[later] Radio Ukraine International strong at 1700 UT on 7440 kHz, clear
channel, German programme.

Radio Ukraine heard in English at 1948-1953 UT with a fairly strong signal
but fighting with similar strength co-channel station presumably China.
Totally unlistenable.
The VoR schedule,
has been amended to show only 0100-0200 UT for 7440 kHz to North
America[via Lviv-Krasne-UKR relay].

Yes, German noted on air at 1709 UT, parliament report in German language,
S=9+20dB here in Germany. Checked 9420 kHz Ukrainian towards Siberia and
CIS states twice at 1300-1700 UT but heard ERT Avlis Greece only.
Thanks Erik and Mike for Radio Ukraine International shortwave logs of
July 1.
