BC-DX 789 05 Jan 2007 Private Verwendung der Meldun

Ich frage mich nur, mit welcher Leistung. Hier um 1800 UT ist nicht ein
Hauch einer zweiten Station hinter dem CRI Signal aufzunehmen, obwohl
heute der Luxemburger DRM Stoerer vernachlaessigt werden kann. Das mit dem
Serbien Puzzle geht schon 6 Monate so, seit Mitte September.
Dabei sind die anderen 'kleinen' 5 - 20 kW Signale im 49 mb immer positiv
aufzunehmen, wie Belarus 6010, 6040, 6060, 6070, 6080, 6115 und sogar 6190
unter DLF Britz. Und die Bijeljina Nachbarn 6025 Ungarn, 6155 Moosbrunn
und 6165 Zagreb sowieso. Also an der Ausbreitung liegt es nicht. Frueher
wurde in Richtung Deutschland auf 310 Grad gesendet.

4855 R. Clube do Para, in 10 mos., V/S Camilo Centeno, Rede Brasil
Amazonia de Comunicacao, Av. Almirante Barroso, 2190, CEP 66.095-000,
Belem, Para. Ppc sent with an IRC was not used. Instead I got a R. Clube
postcard that ments. 10 kw. on 4855, and 12 kw. on 690, but nothing was
written on it. The ltr in EG is very friendly and describes the stns as
well as the area. About the closest it comes to verification is, "We are
very pleased to have you as a listener of our radio shows. Your letter
confirms the power of radio b/cing that makes possible to reach the most
distant places of the world." An internet address is also provided:

BULGARIA Well, I don't know that much about possible upgrades they made
at Kostinbrod (how about the missing IRRS transmissions from there, by the
way?). I just was recently a bit surprised about the unusually good audio
quality of a Radio Bulgaria transmission (in Bulgarian, but I can't
remember the frequency), and it turned out to be a Kostinbrod outlet
("SOF").
I also think that perhaps the audio circuits are to blame for the
substandard audio quality from the Padarsko (Plovdiv) transmitters. The
transmission facilities themself are apparently standard Soviet designs,
and probably the whole site was a joint Bulgarian-Soviet project, judging
from the circumstance tha it also relayed Radio Moscow programming in the
past. See the penultimate row of pictures at
and more at
Satellite images reveal that such a rotatable antenna as shown there
exists at Grigoriopol as well.
Apparently Padarsko can not be used for transmissions in the direction of
European Russia, since it are primarily these transmissions (in Russian
and Bulgarian of course) they still run via Kostinbrod, after apparently
migrating as much as possible to Padarsko.
It is most likely the Kostinbrod antenna field that can be seen on these
unattributed pictures:
What remains is the question what happened to the Stolnik shortwave
facilities. Dismantled, mothballed or perhaps even still usable?
And there must also have been shortwave facilities on the Pleven
mediumwave site, originally complete with antennas (judging from their
typical East German design) by the GDR. The 250 kW Funkwerk Koepenick
