ROMANIA Radio Romania International's new (and finally fast) website
announces a temporary limitation in broadcast frequencies in June and
July:
"Dear listeners,
Due to upgrading works that will be undertaken on the antenna system
located at the Galbeni transmission centre (in north eastern Romania) from
June 15th to July 31st, RRI will have to use only half of its transmission
frequencies; therefore there will be only one frequency available for each
English broadcast.
Here are the new frequencies to be used during the aforementioned period
of time:
0000-0100 11790 kHz NORTH AMERICA
0300-0400 9645 kHz NORTH AMERICA
0300-0400 11895 kHz INDIA
0530-0600 11830 kHz WESTERN EUROPE
0500-0600 17770 kHz AUSTRALIA
1200-1300 11875 kHz WESTERN EUROPE
1700-1800 9535 kHz WESTERN EUROPE
2030-2100 9515 kHz WESTERN EUROPE
2030-2100 11940 kHz NORTH AMERICA

Listening to the programme "DX Club" of Radio Romania International in
Russian language, I heard about the beginning reconstruction of all SW
transmitters and antennas starting in mid-June first from site Galbeni in
north-eastern Romania. The broadcasts to Western Europe will be moved to
site Tiganesti. For two months transmissions in Russian and Chinese will
be temporarily closed. Later new txs will be in Tiganesti and Saftica
(here 2x100 kW).
