current owner of the place, Herdade Nossa Senhora da Gloria, intends to
develop the property by building a golf academy, a hotel, a few other
smaller buildings, 77 semi-detached houses plus 233 plots for detached
houses,

The "freguesia" (translated into parish, but has nothing to do with any
religious administrative division) of Gloria do Ribatejo, which belongs to
the municipality of Salvaterra de Magos, approves the idea despite being
an area under the influence of the Communist party! I'm sure they miss the
amenities the company managing the site, RARET, provided to the locals,
ranging from health sces to schooling and training, which, I admit, was
the sole good aspect of the project that lived till 1999 during which time
most locals, including the staff, were simply & apparently (...) unaware
of what sort of programs were actually emanating from the station. I would
not believe in this naivete, sorry.
I learned today the towers were taken away last Summer, so only the
buildings remain. Without wishing to speculate on the subject, since the
property is now in private hands, I believe it's natural that the new
owners wish (over)compensation for their investment after having bought
the place filled with old stuff to be taken down, thus surely meeting the
both the Govt and Portugal Telecom intentions since the beginning. Despite
what many might imagine, municipalities run by leftwingers are known to be
too keen in accepting certain sorts of investment, chiefly of this kind.

RUSSIA According to my monitoring in Japan, GTRK-Magadan reopend to sce
its own local px on SW since middle of March. Since long ago, this station
had carried only R. Rossii on SW freqs.
I received local px on 234 and 7320 kHz at 2010-2100 (general px), 2300-
2310, 0200-0210, 0700-0710 (local nx and weather rep) on weekday, but not
checked 5935 kHz yet.
As for my all information it is for all people. But I prohibit the fact
that all ILG's personnel utilize.
