transmitter (identical to those once operational at Berlin, Burg,
Woebbelin, Wilsdruff and Wachenbrunn) delivered back then is apparently
the last survivor of this breed and still in use, judging from this
picture of an engineer posing with a belonging SRW-357 PA stage tube, made
by the former Werk fuer Fernsehelektronik at Berlin (note also the file
name):
And here are the Pleven pictures, concluding one of what appear to be

BURKINA FASO 7230 Radio Burkina Faso, at 0803-0825 UT on Mar 8, tune in
to a woman talking with an ID by a man in French at 0806 UT. Seemed to
move into a radio drama with multiple voices acting out story with brief
musical segments between scenes. Poor with lot's of static.

6160 CKZU/CBN at 1155 on Mar 10 poor with talk about Vancouver shopping
malls; clear CBC ID at 1159 UT and into network news; still audible at

CHINA/TAIWAN Sound of Hope and jammers now on partly revised
frequencies: 9200, 10200, 13970, 14600 and 17330. Actual SOH programme
heard on 10200, 14600 and 17330, on the others only Firedrake. Always when
I have heard SOH they have had talk only, without any music, so that seems
to be the way to distiguish them: Talk SOH, music jamming.

CENTRAL AFRICAN REP 6030 Radio ICDI is the name of this new station.
The schedule is 6-9 AM and 5-9 PM CAR time into a lazy H antenna running 1
kW. They say they have gotten reports via cell phone from as far was 600
miles. Folks are actually calling in rather than texting. Programming is
mostly educational and developmental. All this via a phone conversation
with station personnel this morning.
