*** R Yugoslavia HISTORY *** of May 4th, 1999:
The Serbian SW txs (except RTS Belgrade home sce relay on 7200.03) are
located in Bosnia i Hercegovina (in its province Republika Srpska, pro
Serbian part of BIH), at Bijeljina tx site.
(Rumen Pankov-BUL, BC-DX Apr 11, 1999)
The ext sce of R YUG via txs in Bijeljina Bosnia is still off, further
checks of Ge 1630 [7215 and 9620] and Ru 1800 [6100 and 7165], both
services not heard.

Obviously the microwave link is once again down; however, they now get it,
in which way they can nevertheless broadcast: Both Ge at 2000 on 6100 and
En at 2100 on 6185 (scheduled // 6100 was not on air for whatever reason)
was feeded to Bijeljina through telephone connection, while the IS was
inserted at Bijeljina (it needs no knowledge of Ge to discern the keywords
"das waren die Nachrichten von Radio Jugoslawien"), likely simply as
usual.
Possibly they use at Beograd just a phone rx, some noises during the Ge bc
indicated that; however, the En nx was opened with the usual jingle,
indicating a studio production, especially as a telephone hybrid certainly
belongs to the essential equipment of any radio studio.

Yes, R YUG Belgrade night progr on May 3rd on air again: R YUG Ge 2000-
2017?? on single 6100.00 [not on 7230 !], exact freq of Bijeljina Bosnia
tx site.
French 2030-2048 s-off only 6185.00 [not on 6100]. audio undermodulated.
English 2100-2123 s-off only 6185.00 [not on 6100]. audio overmodulated.
[see also schedule of May 4th below.]
BUT with narrow bandwidth telephone line audio quality, all txions on
6100, and later on 6185 were
very d r e a d f u l ,
often difficult to understand any content of the text. [in German: aber
mit saumaessiger Telefonuebertragungs-Qualitaet]. At same time Serbian
