Der ADDX-Hörfahrplan ist ja auch nicht das Evangelium.

>> Hi Glenn! From April 12, RUI's shortwave transmitters in Kharkiv and Lviv have been switched off. Also the same was done with all mediumwave transmitters of UR1 channel. Only transmitter on 657 kHz in Chernivtsi with RUI's Romanian service and UR3 operates in the night. Also the UR1 transmitter on 207 kHz in Brovary (Kiev) is active from 0230 to 2100. Best regards (Alexander Yegorov, Kiev, Ukraine, April 14, WORLD OF RADIO 1508, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
>> 
>> This means RUI is off the SW air completely, including the 0000-0100 UT English to North America which was high power from Lviv on 7440. All the other frequencies Kharkiv. Is this permanent, or another temporary shortage of funding? (gh, WORLD OF RADIO 1508, DXLD)
>> 
>> RUI missing from its formerly reliable big signal on 7440, English to NAm at 00-01, checked 0005 April 15. Alexander Yegorov reports that ALL SW transmissions of RUI from Lviv and and the lower-powered Kharkiv site were turned off April 12.
>> 
>> Not clear whether this is temporary or permanent, but Ukrainian MW has also been drastically cut. Previously there have been interruptions in RUI service when funding ran out, but then resumed (Glenn Hauser, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
>> 
>> Thanks for the info. Here in Houston I had checked 7440 at 0000 and heard nothing. Thought it might be lingering effects of the recent geomagnetic storm, but was hearing other Eastern Europeans on the band. I suspect with other broadcasters dropping shortwave we may have heard the last of RUI, regardless of any future funding situation.

>> Glenn, you are right; sure is a far cry from the old USSR days when you could easily hear the various Soviet broadcasts on over a dozen frequencies each evening (Steve Luce, TX, dxldyg via DX LISTENING DIGEST)
>> 
>> It's not even necessary to go back that far in history. During the nineties Radio Ukraine International was all day long on around a dozen frequencies, basically using the complete capacity of the three shortwave sites in the Ukraine. The big cut to the small service as it remained until last week came only in 2002 (Kai Ludwig, Germany, ibid.)
>> 
>> Hi Everyone, For what it's worth, the RUI website schedule says listed frequencies are in effect until 31 October, 2010. Haven't seen any notice on the website about suspension of broadcasts (but I only gave the website a quick once-over). 73 (David Sharp, NSW Australia, 0214 UT April 15, ibid.)
>> 
>> Just send in your complaints to Kiev and to the Ukrainian Embassy in DC and RUI will be back on the air. Most likely it's just the issue of funding - not some ideological decision to give up on SW. The Ukrainian diaspora is well organized. I suspect they are going to flood the station with complaints (Sergei S., Germany, dxldyg via DX LISTENING DIGEST)
>> 
>> I would first ask if anyone of them still listened to these shortwave signals at all. Here in Central Europe they were really measly, hardly sufficient for program listening. One had to wonder about the shape of the antennas, assuming that the Sneg's churned out the 100 kW NRKU paid for, actually for a service not worth the money.
>> 
>> In fact I'm surprised that the small shortwave service remained until now, considering that about two of three FM transmitters are already off air for lack of money. And I wonder if NRKU now starts to really starve (Kai Ludwig, Germany, ibid.)
>> 
>> I don't think complaining will make any difference. The Ukrainian diaspora isn't paying the bills to keep RUI on the air. Many governments, and in turn, national broadcasters are experiencing severe budget shortfalls. Cuts have to be made, such as the recent reductions in Bulgaria.
>> 
>> Once all these transmitters have been off the air for a while the former audience will find other ways to listen or get information. ..and there won't be any reason for the governments involved to reinstate the broadcasts. Sad for longtime SWL's, but it's the cold reality of strained finances and changing technology (Steve Luce, TX, ibid.)
>> 
>> I respectfully posit that you've been listening a bit too much to Andy Sennitt :-). I've been an SWL for 34 years and when I started, the international broadcasters had nothing in their mandates about being cost-effective. The object of the game was to get their message out to as wide an audience as possible and the bottom line was secondary, if that. Not everything in life should be run like a business. 73 de (Anne Fanelli in Elma NY, ibid.)
