transmitter and associated antenna system. Negotiations with Tajikistan's
state radio service were completed in May 2004, resulting in the contract
award for the shortwave antenna system in late FY 2005. Manufacturing of
shortwave antenna equipment was completed in FY 2006, and the materials
were delivered to the installation site in Tajikistan in October 2006. An
existing 250 kW shortwave transmitter from the closed Greece Transmitting
Station will be used in conjunction with the new antenna. Facility
modifications and installation of equipment are scheduled to commence in
FY 2007. The projected on-air date for broadcasts is mid-FY 2008.

The Orzu transmitter is a Thales/Thomcast (or whatever they are this week)
and was new on install in Orzu, not a move from anywhere else. Yes, HF to
be installed there is from Kavala/Gloria, so far as I am aware.

UKRAINE In order to improve reception in Central Europe as well as to
avoid splash from Radio Free Afghanistan via Udorn Thani and Irana Wila on
15680 kHz, RUI replaces 15675 kHz with 11550 kHz 0800-1300 (English 1100-
1200) as of May 28. Transmitter remains the same:

UNIDENTIFIED [formerly Chad terrible outlet on v7311]
There seems to be a similar very distorted audio on around 7290 at 1535 UT
the 18 May. Just wondering if this is the one heard on around 7310v or
something else.

7285 English / 7291.6 Arabic. Yes Yari, two very distorted stations noted
nearby at present. But not Chadienne music or French language fragments
noted so far.
7285 - and a very 12 kHz broad band - probably - US evangelic-protestant -
religious program noted at 7279.46 to 7291.38 kHz (small 2.3 kHz rx
filter), S=9+40dB.

(later) Broad band station on 7285 is "UNI news" in US-American accented
English, via IRRS Milano program, which was in last decade on Sofia
Kostinbrod transmitter site.
7291.6 - and Arabic could be RTVM Bamako in Arabic close-down at 1800 UT
???, which was varying between 7284 and 7287 kHz lately.
(later) Re: distorted Arabic station 7292.10 centered Arabic station with
continuous talk is definitely NOT IRIB. No music heard yet. But heard few
times 'Mali', only comment and talks. At 1850 UT on wide 7289.20 to
7294.04 kHz.

Centered 7291.1 - Unidentified distorted station, probably in French
around 1800-1830 UT.
Hi dear Jean-Michel, today May 22nd, the UNID station faded in again
around 1725 UT here in Germany. From 1800-1830 UT I could understand some
French like snatches. May you can check this station, whether you can
understand some French phrases?
Probably this station was formerly on 7311v kHz, and pointed by German
direction finding DWL station Bockhacken coming from Chad in April 27 til
May 15th ... starts at 0426 UT with National Anthem of Chad.
