Note that Kopani will be replaced now, as it had been planned already in
late 2005. Hereby the Krasne site will be used on shortwave for the first
time since 2002, unless there were some unnoticed Voice of Russia relays
since then, in addition to co-located 936. Reportedly the shortwave
transmitters were during the recent years at regular intervals (acc. the
specifications from the manufacturer I think) fired up on dummyloads to
keep them alive. Probably this concerns only a single 1000 kW transmitter
from 1972 (old Soviet designator RV-177), because some reports indicate
that a second transmitter, listed as installed in 1993, had never been
completed and remained an investment ruin as German saying goes. Or became
RV-1604 as it was supposed to be called indeed a serviceable transmitter?
Did the reports about the never completed transmitter perhaps refer to a
third 1000 kW unit instead?
