[A-DX] ROU neuer 100 kW Continental tx in Saftica on the air ?

["Wolfgang Bueschel" <BueschelW@xxxxxx>]

Rumen in Sofia macht mich auf die gute Qualität einiger ehemaliger 20/50 kW
Aussendungen aus Rumänien aufmerksam, beobachtet seit dem 8. Oktober. Kann
ich nur bestätigen, heute Nachmittag {14. Okt.} grosse Signale auch hier in 
Stuttgart, siehe Sendeplan der 100 kW Einheit in Saftica weiter unten.
