R Renascensa Muge Portugal site, 594 kHz 100 kW, former SW:
39 05 31.03 N 08 41 45.75 W
(wb, wwdxc BC-DX June 9)
As I don't see anything on this site resembling a SW antenna, I'll take it
that the SW antennas were removed some time back despite reports that the
station still had its SW TXing infrastructure in place & was just
inactive?? Unless you know more I guess I'll move this site to the Extinct
list.
(Ian Baxter-AUS, SW TX site June 10)
The name is Radio Renascenca:
As I said, the 2 HF rhombics are still in place; thieves stollen part of
the copper of the transmission lines years ago, but new ones would, I
think, enable RR to be active on HF once more... but they lack interest,
even for selling airtime.
(later) ...the towers for the two rhombics are beamed to EUR & SoAm.
"Started with a tiny 1 kW unit on 6155 in 1979/1980"
I believe there's a confusion here. RR had a 1 kW HF tx housed together
with its Lisbon [actual site: Buraca] MW tx; by that time, RR had just 2
MW txs, one here, the other in the outskirts of Porto. The Buraca house
was taken down with a bomb planted by army soldiers back in '74/'75. So 49
mb operation was already alive prior to the 25 April, 1974, coup d'‚tat.

Maybe you can phone them at Renascenca Muge site, to ask whether or not
the former SW unit has been dismanteled or not ?
