WORLDWIDE DX CLUB Weekly Top News

UKRAINE 46N49 32E14 mentioned in WRTH under Ukraine, Mykolaiv, Luch, but
never could traced here this 500 kW site, registered always under SMF
Crimea, 275 kilometers away south eastwards. (wb)
Gosh I'd never pick that as a SW site from GE browsing from your given co-
ordinates. Can see a faint wavey line running through different
fields/padocks of colur only.
Site name: Posad-pokrovskote?
(Ian Baxter-AUS, SW TX site shortwavesites wwdxc BC-DX Aug 30)
MR: I should have added 'somewhere around' before the coordinates, but I
thought that was presumed to be there by default, when we are talking
about low resolution views.
If you want a suggestion, MAYBE 46 48 13 N 32 12 15 E
IB: Site name: Posad-pokrovskote?
Using Multimap.com found a place in the Ukraine only 3kms north of the
suspected site of Posad-pokrovskote called Luc (a very small village). Is
this the SW site refered to in dx circles as Luch?
(Ian Baxter-AUS, SW TX site shortwavesites wwdxc BC-DX Aug 30)
Aka Kopani, southeast of Mykolaiv. I suppose Luch is also nearby there,
but didn't find it.
(Mauno Ritola-FIN, SW TX site shortwavesites via wwdxc BC-DX Aug 30)
Yes Mauno,
I would also suggest this location. 46 48 13 N 32 12 15 E

Luch is the big site in south central Ukraine, often referred to as Kopani
(the nearest railway station), Nikolayev/Mykolaiv and (incorrectly)
Simferopol. The village of Luch (a luch is a ray, very apt name) probably
was specially built for the station staff. The next larger village (still
a small one) is Posad-Pokrovskoye. The whole thing is located SE of
Mykolaiv. The site was probably built soon after WWII and has since been
upgraded and expanded.
The Taranivka/Taranovka site south of Kharkiv/Kharkov is often
(incorrectly) referred to as Starobelsk. The SW site went on the air in
1970.
The Krasne/Krasnoye site is located appr. 45 km east of Lviv/Lvov. Just as
the Luch site it was probably built soon after WWII, using 4 x 120 kW txs
(scrapped in the 1980s), normally operated in pairs (the famed 240 kW
power). The site has since been upgraded. It is often incorrectly referred
to as Vinnitsa.
