they still seem to hesitate from doing this kind of dirty work from French
soil, i.e. Issoudun.

I haven't worked out in my mind what the purpose of the VoAfrica(Ozma)
txion is on 17660 from 1200-1400, other than maybe a 'distraction' from
the Clandestine. It booms in here and I very much doubt if this is via
France. I think Observer said Russia - I wonder. Could it be another Gabon
sender? It's a very interesting situation and it's interesting to listen
to developments.

GREECE VOA DONATED 250 kW Transmitters At Avlis Greece.
These are the specs for the five Continental 419F-2 txs at Avlis.
(John Babbis-USA, dxld Mar 19)
[and non] Here is an explanation of RMS:
For AM txions
specifies RMS power as 1.5 times carrier power, so a regular figure for
the ex-Gloria tx at Avlis would be 110 kW.
The big secret about the modulation apparently refers to an Optimod (or
competing product) in the audio chain for this tx. The modulation on the
two Marconi txs sounds different, and Radiofonikos Stathmos Makedonias
programming is transmitted without AM-specific audio processing at all,
something rarely heard on SW anymore (only other cases I'am aware of are
the Leszczynka txs used by Radio Polonia and the 6190 tx at Berlin). I
wonder if ERA got the big, secret Optimod together with the tx, because
the processing is rather "IBB-like", although not identical to Kavala.
