[A-DX] ERA 5 Avlis Griechenland testet 4. Sender

["Wolfgang Bueschel" <BueschelW@xxxxxx>]

ERA 5 ERT Avlis testet den 4. Sender an der Station für eine Woche.

15630 1100-1530 GMT, 5865 after 2200-0700 LTM (muss UT sein)

Soeben um 0510 und 0600-0700 UT gehört. Nicht sehr stark, nur S=6.
Das müsste einer der von IBB-RFE aus Gloria Lissabon, Portugal geschenkten
250 kW Continental Sender aus dem April 1998[!] sein?
Gloria wurde am 31. Mai 1996 geschlossen.

Aber man leidet nach wie vor unter dem Mangel an 6 und 7 MHz Antennen in
Richtung 295 bis 330 degr, Richtung West Europa und NordAmerika.

Mail to Noel Green:
ERA 5 - Avlis - soooo, I missed something over the weekend...

The Greek friends at Avlis FINALLY set up the other 250 kW unit, formerly on
IBB RFE Gloria site until May 1996 year !!! - and gave as gift to the
Greek's ERT then.

But I guess, the LACKING of adequate amount of 295 to 330 degrees azimuth
antennas, to Western Europe and North America is not solved yet.

I can confirm your tip, RTM transmit two different programms at least 14-15
UT, puzzles, needs fruther check.

RTM different program content, thanks Noel for the information:
really, 15335 RTM Briech had Quran prayer-singer 1445-1500 UT cl-down.
And next RTM Nador 15340 had Arabic sports report, like saturday LIVE
football coverage reports from UNID stadium. vy 73 de wolfy
