Found RRO in English on 17700 kHz this morning. S9+10 signal. 
Their page is showing a 15460 spot for this transmission
https://www.rri.ro/en/useful-information-en/how-to-listen/rri-2024-2025-winter-broadcast-frequencies-id820406.html
but HFCC is showing the 17770 frequency.

Caught RRO on 17700 kHz again this morning.  1242z with S9+15 signal.
Checked Twente for the published 15460 frequency and the same broadcast was on there too.

Tipped off from GH World of Radio, looks like RRO is on a different transmitter/location.  I also checked the 'old' 15460 frequency again and it is active.  Maybe a partial fix of the TX site?
