example of active reserve: If one transmitter fails the other one will
stay on air, just the power will be reduced by half. Btw, a typical
concept for FM is passive reserve in n+1 configuration: n are as much
transmitters as frequencies are on air from the particular facility, added
is another transmitter which in cases of a transmitter failure will be
tuned up on the affected frequency and fired up with the belonging
modulation.

GREECE The DXing here in 90 mb is almost non possible due to the a big
number of the harmonics of Greek pirate stations in range 1600-2000 kHz,
also some from Serbia. The Greek pirates are also on 1384, 1567 and 1601
kHz (out of channels). Also I can not made any observations with my loop
antenna to catch some MW from No. America in X-band.
