interval signal observed in signal peaks. The signal is N O T an
effective one, like the former Radio Belgrade outlets on 7200 or 9505 a
decade ago.
The latest ITU Geneva list from December 2006 (see as .exe attachment):
shows both Stubline
BEO Beograd SCG 44N34 020E09
and
BIJ Bijeljina BIH 44N41 019E09

I have an inquiry to you: May you can contact the former "Radio Srbije i
Crne Gore"/"Radio Televizja Srbije" Stubline site by telephone at
381 11 879 02 90 ??
and ask the engineering personell, if the "International Radio Serbia"
6100 kHz outlets shifted from Biljenina Jabanusa B A C K to Stubline
site (former 7200/9505 domestic outlets) ???
(wb, wwdxc BC-DX Mar 10)
Your doubts are well founded. (...) I tried to check the actual situation.
Though I haven't managed to actually contact people in International Radio
Serbia, an old friend, who was working in the TANJUG news agency as a
technician on their SW TX site, confirmed that Bijeljina site is no longer
operational, ever since the central broadcast licensing authority in
Bosnia and Herzegovina stopped former Radio Yugoslavia from using the
site. Of course, I will try to recheck the actual state of affairs with
someone inside Radio Serbia.
You may be aware that International Radio Serbia is practically in a
"limbo" status, because it is now just a part of the Serbian state
broadcaster. Recently they lost a local FM outlet in Belgrade area
following a redistribution of FM channels, because the state broadcaster
was allowed to keep just a fraction of its former FM network following the
closure of the tender for national FM licenses. Funding is getting scarce,
and as International Radio Serbia can no longer rely on "federal" funding
(as was the case until Montenegro left the state union), its future status
is not certain.
Stubline site, as you have noted, also suffered some destruction in 1999,
not as extensive as the Radio Belgrade main MW site on 684 kHz, but enough
to make it much less effective than before. Very probably, the actual
equipment used now on 6100 kHz isn't able to produce a better signal than
the one observed now.

5514 / 6686 - 18 March 2007 at 1459 UT noted a strong distorted audio
with familiar interval signal on appr. 6686. Checking against weak 6100
and it was Radio Serbia International, starting their Spanish (?) program
at 1500 UT. Similar strong spurious signal also on appr. 5514. So the
transmitter puts out strong spurs plus/minus 586 kHz from nominal 6100.

carrier visible already at 1200. First audio at 1403, probably Serbian,
