Dear Radio Colleague,

    Another interesting opportunity for an AWR QSL card from another
relay location has just become available. For those who can hear it,
Adventist World Radio is now on the air from Samara in Russia, beamed
towards the Indian sub-continent on 5865 kHz.  This is a 250 kW unit,
the timing is 1500 - 1600 UTC, and the languages are Punjabi & Hindi.
This new relay service began on December 23 last year.

    For those who can remember, AWR was on the air from Samara for a
period of 4 years, extending from 1992 - 1996.  On Sep 10, 1994 AWR
broadcast a special announcement from Samara only, as part of the annual
contest in the Nordic DX Championships for that year.

    At the time of the current AWR relay from Samara, the frequency
5865kHz is a clear channel and Jose Jacob, VU2JOS, states that the
signal in India is particularly strong.  In Indianapolis, all that is
heard at 1500 UTC, due to the daylight factor, is a very low het in the
SSB mode, which may or may not be from Samara.
