WORLDWIDE DX CLUB Weekly Top News

eing in use. I can't recall the frequencies in detail, but years ago
Radio Ukraine International was at night on air via two transmitters, the
still existing 49 metres outlet plus a now scrapped second one on 41

By the way, Radio Zamaneh booked the airtime at Moscow as Andy had pointed
out. So no further brokerer is involved here.
