KYRGYZSTAN 4050.04 kHz is s-off at 1800 UT (RR) as heard on Jan 16.
(Vlad Titarev-UKR, DXplorer Jan 17)
4050 / 4010 On 13 Jan around 1330 (tune-in) noted a station with R Rossii
program on 4050. Forgot to check it again later. Next day (14 Jan) the
station was on again with R Rossii. The signal was somewhat better than
Kyrgyz R on 4010.
Checking the sign-off time - 4010 and 4050 audio went off at the same time
at 1800. Transmitters were switched off as follows: 4010 at 1801, 4795 at
1802 and 4050 at 1803. So 4050 could be Bishkek transmitter active again.

LATVIA The Latvian commercial radio station Radio SWH
signed a 1-year contract for the transmission of
its English language broadcast "Latvia Today" via Ulbroka 9290 kHz (100
kW). "Latvia Today" will be broadcast Saturdays 0800-0900 and Sundays
1300-1400 UTC.
A new 1kW shortwave transmitter which was installed at Ulbroka last autumn
is currently undergoing the certification procedure (which can take
several months). It will be offered to customers for low-budget relays on
9290 kHz as soon as the authorisation has been received.
